CAO Fun at the Farm Parade clash XXXXXXXX heads to court
Four groups launch challenge of ruling by Hearings Board Journal reporter

If you think that the Critical Areas Ordinances took too long (seven or 10 years, depending on whose calendar you look at), more opportunity for outrage loom in the future. On Oct. 1, the Common Sense Alliance filed a petition for review in San Juan County Superior Court, contesting the ruling by the Growth Management Hearings Board in the CAO update case. Over the next few days, Friends of the San Juans, P.J. Taggares Co. and William H. Wright took the opportunity to file their own appeals. Only the San Juan Builder’s Association has not appealed; the association has until Oct. 7 to do so. Kyle Loring, attorney for Friends, believes this latest iteration of disdain for the results of the ordinances passed in 2012 by the County Council will take at least six months, “possibly a year,” before Judge Don Eaton reaches a decision. The CSA also asked for a court order postponing the effective date of the ordinances until the courts have ruled on the appeals, and asked that the case be sent back to the Hearings Board for

‘Honor & Sacrifice’
Film reveals epic family journey By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
He was all of eight years old when Roy Matsumoto and his brother boarded a steamer bound for the family’s ancestral home in Japan. Nine years later, in 1930, Roy would cross the Pacific Ocean once again, at the age of 17, this time headed back to his birthplace near Los Angeles, Calif., to high school and a job in a grocery store, where, in what would prove a most fateful episode, he would come to recognize and to understand the numerous dialects spoken by the many Japanese people along his delivery route. That was just the beginning. Each of the 25 documentaries to be aired at the Friday Harbor Film Festival, many of which, like “Honor & Sacrifice: The Roy Matsumoto Story”, are award-winning films, has its own story to tell about life around the Pacific Ocean. The festival is, in fact, entitled “Stories of the Pacific Rim.”
But it’s safe to say that none can rival “Honor & Sacrifice” for the breadth, depth, and for the cultural and historical weight, and the distance, both in mileage and time, that it brings to the silver screen. Matsumoto, who this year celebrated his 100th birthday, was inducted into the U.S. Army “Ranger Hall of Fame” in 1993 and into the “Military Intelligence Hall of Fame” in 1997, and is a 2011 recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Ian K. Gatley passed away the 7th of September, 2013, due to complications of dementia. He was preceded in death by his daughter Anna, father Jack, mother Ruth, and sister Carol, as well as his ex-wife Judy. Ian is survived by brothers, Eric and Richard, as well as sons Bruce and Dana, and their many family members. For the last 20 years, Ian had made the San Juans his home, living the good life in retirement, just the way he wanted. He loved the lifestyle Friday Harbor provided, the people, and calm pace where there always seemed to be plenty of time to savor life as it happened. Ian loved to play music with his friends whenever possible, having re-discovered his first love, the steel guitar. His home was a source of great pride, and pleasure, having designed and built it himself, with the help of his sons. He enjoyed sitting and watching the beautiful view of the shipping lanes of Haro Strait, and beyond to his beloved Canada. Ian was Canadian by birth, but American by choice.

The federal government shutdown prompted the National Parks Service today to close 401 of its national parks, including San Juan Island National Historical Park. All visitor facilities, including visitor centers, picnic areas, beaches, park roads and trails will remain closed until the government reopens, according to San Juan Island National Historical Park Superintendent Lee Taylor. In a press release, Taylor noted two employees will remain on duty to provide security and emergency services, while another eight park employees will be furloughed because of the shutdown. The park will remain closed until the government reopens, she said. In the meantime, Pickett’s Lane, the access road to South Beach, is closed at Cattle Point Road. Access roads to American Camp and English are also closed. The park is closed to visitors, hikers, bicyclists and horseback riders while the park remains closed. In addition, Taylor said the all park programs and special events have been canceled, including the Junior Ranger programs at the library, Earthcorps volunteer work at American Camp, installation of a trail puncheon by San Juan Island Trails Committee, and more.

further proceedings “consistent with this Court’s order(s) on appeal.” If any of the parties, including the county, are dissatisfied with the results, appeals to the state Court of Appeals and state Supreme Court are still possible. The county is presently reviewing the Sept. 6 GMHB decision. Under that decision, the council, with the advice and recommendations of the county Planning Commission, must address eight specific matters, all raised by Friends, which the GMHB ruled did not comply with the state Growth Management Act. That decision ruled against the challenges made by CSA, Taggares Co., Wright and the builder’s association on all counts. Before the appeals were filed, San Juan County Prosecutor Randy Gaylord issued a letter to the county council and the planning commission upholding the right of CSA board members to participate on the planning commission as they reviewed and
made recommendations in response to the ruling of the GMHB. Although an earlier opinion in April suggested that CSA board member participation on the planning commission might violate conflict of interest rules under certain circumstances, Gaylord, who also represents the county on the CAO appeals, argued that CSA board members would not violate common law conflict of interest rules in the current instance. The gist of Gaylords opinion said, “The matters on appeal that were upheld
by the Growth Board were raised by the Friends of the San Juans, not the Common Sense Alliance. Certainly CSA Board members may have formulated an opinion on the subject, but that does not make the Friends cause something that belongs to CSA; nor does it disqualify a member of the CSA.” Loring and David Dehlendorf both objected to Gaylord’s reasoning, saying that many of the same issues that Friends prevailed on before the GMHB were argued, from the opposite viewpoint, by the CSA and are now the
subject of the appeals to the Superior Court that were filed last week. At a planning commission workshop held Oct. 2, acting chairwoman Barbara Thomas said she was satisfied with Gaylord’s advice regarding CSA members’ participation on CAO matters, but said she looked forward to Gaylord’s views on the matter following the filing of the latest appeal by CSA.

Fiber optics deployment has been pursued by OPALCO since 2001, partly for use in managing its electrical grid, partly for possible resale to broadband users. These ideas are not unique to OPALCO - virtually all utilities, including rural cooperatives, utilize fiber-optic technology. OPALCO has studied consumer broadband deployment for several years, culminating in 2012, when co-op top executives made presentations on the four major islands asking members to sign up for future broadband services. In August of that year, OPALCO announced it had landed a $34 million USDA Rural Development loan to pay for infrastructure design and deployment, some for broadband deployment. The original plan envisioned repayment from a $15 per month co-op infrastructure fee and an internet service fee of $75 per month. The approved business plan required that about 6,000 subscribers sign up to make the plan viable. By May of this year, 900 members had signed up. After George Mulligan resigned from the OPALCO board May 21, OPALCO announced a “new direction” for broadband deployment. The new direction provided for a $3 million to $5 million OPALCO investment in infrastructure to be leased to internet service providers such as

CenturyLink, who would provide services to consumers. OPALCO framed what happened differently: “That idea was shelved in mid-June 2013 when the plan gained the attention of the competition and an opportunity emerged to accomplish the improved broadband service in the county at a lower cost and lower risk to the co-op.” By October, negotiations with CenturyLink have apparently taken a turn, although OPALCO says negotiations continue and a draft contract has been prepared and is under review. Bogert’s letter suggests OPALCO is returning to the idea of building out the infrastructure itself. OPALCO says the build-out will be incremental over 10 years, with possible leasing to broadband providers. At the same time, Bogert, who earlier this year was re-elected for another term on the board, resigned. In his letter of resignation, Bogert said he had supported the board’s effort to explore two alternative broadband deployment strategies. But more recent developments prompted a parting of the ways: “The board’s recent decision to unilaterally proceed with broadband build-out using membership funds is inconsistent with fiscal stewardship as I see it.” Bogert lamented in his letter that the board “failed to embrace” the opportunity presented by seven months of negotiations with CenturyLink. Bogert concluded that he did not feel “the board’s current direction is in the best interests of the membership and I cannot, in good conscience, support the decisions being made.”

plete the expanded version. Matsumoto’s first two trips across the Pacific were, in a way, just the start of what would become an epic, nearly fantastical tale, almost Odysseus-like in its drama and proportion, of one family separated by geography and by the cruelties of war, and by the oppressive politics and racism that prevailed in the time in which they lived. Fourteen years and several internment camps later, Matsumoto would cross the Pacific Ocean yet again. But this time bound for the jungles of the South Pacific and for battle against the Japanese army, as a U.S. military linguist serving with a battalion known as Merrill’s Marauders. And the heroic deeds in the face of overwhelming odds, for which Matsumoto would one day be awarded a chest full of military medals for bravery and valor, were just around the corner.

Election 2013: candidates, in their own words
Wednesday, October 9, 2013 — 5
Mark Schwinge, Howie Rosenfeld, and the race for a seat on the SJI hospital district commission Howard “Howie” Rosenfeld
and have been impressed that many of the growing pains experienced by patients are being or have been addressed by Peace Health. However, some of these remain and other concerns exist. These concerns should not be ignored. Concerns have been raised about whether end-of-life services and reproductive services can be restricted for religious reasons in a facility that receives taxpayer funding. There are also issues of access to medical services guaranteed by state law. These are legal issues, which could become a liability for the hospital district. Does the hospital district have a responsibility to make sure these medical services are available even if Peace Health is not required to provide them? I believe it does. The hospital district’s first responsibility is to represent the medical and emergency service needs of the district residents. Are we to be satisfied that pregnant women and new mothers are denied services because a religious entity doesn't
believe in providing the full range of reproductive health services? It may be legal, it may even be the best we can get right now, but it isn’t satisfactory. I'm also concerned that fees for essential services have gone up dramatically. I will be an advocate for patients, including reproductiveage residents and people facing end-of-life decisions. I will emphasize the following: That Peace Health, with its ongoing public subsidy, is held accountable for providing essential services at reasonable costs. That the hospital district, as a taxing public entity, ensures that essential services are provided at reasonable costs. As a former first responder, that our EMS/ medevac service remains one of the best at reasonable costs. I think what we all want is the best medical care we can afford. We need to appreciate what we have and try to make it better. www.howardrosenfeld.com
Mark Schwinge
Limiting services is not discrimination; it is necessary discernment exercised by the Peace Island Medical Center board. In their judgment, due to limits in funding and access to qualified professionals to deliver services, referral to mainland facilities continues to be a necessary part of island life. Non-clinicians, including most of us, should respect PIMC’s service limits placed sensibly by its clinicians. In my view, here is how things stack up: those seeking maternity services (the particulars of which await definition) may receive a referral to the mainland. Women seeking elective abortions have local access to Planned Parenthood, or may receive a referral by a PIMC physician. Lifeending prescriptions may be available through physicians not on duty at PIMC, if the physicians consent. In other words, current treatment, albeit not comprehensive, will continue here. In addressing these matters, let us bring considerate voices. We have a system; let’s work within it using reason and civil discourse to bring realistic change.
We need to seek solid legal definitions, take counsel regarding decisions made by other hospital districts, and constructively ease toward a solution. Amid the controversy, let’s keep in view the need to upgrade our air ambulance system to allow medevac flights into known icing conditions. This is a pragmatic step forward, benefits all islanders, and is a major focus of the PHD board. I can facilitate that development. Let’s make it happen. Please vote for me in the upcoming election.
I’m a candidate for the Public Hospital District on the November ballot. The Hospital District oversees two levies. One is for our excellent Emergency Medical Service. The other is to subsidize Peace Health’s Peace Island Hospital (PIMC). The hospital is truly a fantastic medical asset to have on San Juan Island, thanks to those who worked so hard to make it happen and the generosity of others. I’ve been attending hospital district meetings
As a candidate for San Juan County’s Public Hospital District board, I support access to a wide a range of hospital services. At the heart of recent controversy is concern that PeaceHealth discriminates against a segment of our population by withholding certain services or procedures. Discrimination is the “failure to treat all persons equally when no reasonable distinction can be found between those favored and those not favored” (Black’s Law Dictionary 534 [9th ed. 2009]). This matter deserves attention. A Critical Access Hospital’s capabilities are not all-encompassing. Adding new services here would require reallocation of funding for existing services. There is no spendable budgetary excess.
Ballot Measure: Proposition 1
Responding to the 2012 voter-approved charter amendments that reduced the size of the County Council from six members to three, the former six-member council proposed Proposition 1 for the 2013 election ballot. The unanimous vote to put this proposition on the ballot was one of the final acts of the former council. Prop. 1 amends the charter by substituting the words "Charter Amendment Petition" for the word "initiative" in section 9.33 of the charter. The intent is to get around section 5.34 of the charter, which states the boundaries of county council districts "shall not be changed by the Legislative Body or initiative." In the official description of Prop. 1, Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord
writes, "If approved, a proposal to alter the residency district boundaries for council could be submitted to voters after the successful filing of a charter amendment petition.” Currently, such a change could only be made by a new charter review commission.
Opponents believe Prop. 1 is the first step to return countywide voting to voting by district. Supporters say it simply allows voters to change the shape and size of residency districts. – Steve Wehrly

Opinion Letters to the Editor
Off target over maternity care
A recent Letter to the Editor incorrectly asserted that PeaceHealth Peace Island Medical Center has abandoned pregnant women and new mothers by not providing maternity care services. In developing PIMC, both PeaceHealth and the hospital district took great care in deciding which services could be responsibly offered on island and which could not. To characterize a decision not to provide a service as abandonment is wholly inaccurate and deliberately inflammatory. It does a disservice to everyone, and we’d like to set the record straight. First of all, please
be assured that PIMC Emergency Department provides emergency services for all patients, including emergency child delivery when necessary. That said, maternity care services (e.g. obstetrics and labor and delivery services) were not provided by the InterIsland Medical Center, nor are they provided at PIMC because the number and frequency of births on San Juan Island are insufficient for a practitioner and nursing staff with specialized education and training to maintain the necessary clinical and specialized skills to ensure a safe birth. Moreover, even if our clinicians had the specialized training and somehow found a way (through simulation training or proctoring on the mainland) to maintain the essential proficiency and skill, the hospital still couldn’t offer labor and delivery services because of the incapacity to perform an

emergency C-section due to the absence of 24/7 anesthesia service and a trained surgeon credentialed to perform the operation. As with all Critical Access Hospitals, PIMC does not offer the full spectrum of services typically found at larger hospitals. This is not abandonment; it is prudent and safe health care delivery. While a hospital of our size cannot provide all services, including maternity and inpatient surgery, we are open round-the-clock for all islanders, providing health care and treatment to the best of our ability, with care and compassion, regardless of ability to pay.

‘New chapter’ for OPALCO? Here’s what we’d like to see By Chom & Chris Greacen, of Islands Energy Coalition
In its 75 year history, OPALCO has overcome technical, financial and geographical challenges to expand electrical service to its members. The bedrock of OPALCO’s success has been Bonneville Power Administration, which supplied cheap hydropower to meet OPALCO’s growing needs. With the end of cheap, plentiful power, OPALCO members are in for an exciting ride. BPA’s rates are rising (over 8 percent next year alone). Increased electricity demand will have to be met through purchase from, volatile electricity market at high prices. So what will OPALCO’s “new chapter” be? Is it broadband? Broadband is understandably appealing because of its familiar story line: expanding network infrastructure despite technical, financial and geographical challenges. But broadband is an entirely different beast. Unlike electricity distribution which offers OPALCO a natural monopoly, broadband is known for its intense competition and fast-changing technology. Broadband involvement therefore requires cautious prudence to ensure OPALO’s

financial and social capital is not put at risk. Where else can OPALCO apply its talents and assets to take on new challenges while contributing to the county’s economic development? We suggest the new OPALCO chapter is not only about hardware, but also software and “people-ware”. In addition to laying down wire and making prudent capital investments, now is the time to: redesign the tariff structure to be more cost-reflective and conducive to conservation, offer incentives for community solar generation, and invest in green jobs and the local economy through energy efficiency and homegrown energy. OPALCO can leverage its social capital and access to its members to engage them not as passive consumers, but as active collaborating partners, energy co-producers and creative shapers of electricity load.

OPALCO can cultivate a new breed of architects and retrofit crews to incorporate green designs and help homeowners lower their bills. The benefits of the “local green energy vision” are clear and numerous, including: n lower bills (from plugging leaks) n lower OPALCO electricity rates (from reduced exposure to expensive electricity market rates) n increased jobs and green energy economy n economic development through re-circulating saved money and investing locally n improved self-sufficiency and environmental benefits As OPALCO members, we are ready to be partners of OPALCO’s new direction and evolve our relationship with energy towards becoming co-stewards of this shared, precious resource through an uncertain future. Let’s co-write OPALCO’s new chapter to be about collaboration, green economy and resiliency. — Editor's note: Islands Energy Coalition promotes itself as a group of energy enthusiasts with an interest in a resilient energy future for the San Juan Islands.

Leadership?
Whose interest does this panel serve?
T
he government shutdown should end now. The effects in San Juan County are not enormous, but not inconsequential - especially to families of furloughed federal employees. Closures of local national park and national monument lands are bothersome, but not terribly disastrous. A shutdown of a few days or even a few weeks won’t destroy the Republic. Rather, it’s the idea that government should be subject to the whims of one faction, of whatever ideology or issues, that is nonsense. It was nonsense when Newt Gingrich was Speaker; it’s nonsense now. It is, in fact, “revolutionary” that a policy disagreement about anything should result in such radicalism. Like most revolutions, a government shutdown will not achieve the expressed goals, but rather harm the innocent. If a majority in Congress wanted to repeal Obamacare, it would have been repealed. If deficit hawks would direct their attention to the defense budget, a balanced budget might result. But the present political dysfunction will change nothing, except possibly the Speaker of the House. In fact, we cannot see how shutting down government will do anything beneficial. And it may do considerable harm if it continues. The leadership of the South at the time of Lincoln, many honorable men, followed their consciences on a course of action analogous to shutting down government. That action, of course, almost destroyed the nation. Is that where this revolution is headed? The core of the tea party radicals, some of them rational and honorable people, are engaging in their own version of civil war. They think they can achieve their aims by holding the entire government, and its employees, and the nation’s welfare, hostage. For what? And where does it end? Stop the nonsense now.

As planning commissioners, litigants have another chance to rewrite the CAO By David Dehlendorf
Open Letter to planning commissioners Mike Carlson, Tim Blanchard, and John Lackey: Please answer the three questions below regarding a specific CAO-related issue where you play simultaneous and conflicting roles as members of the San Juan County Planning Commission and as directors of the board of the Common Sense Alliance. The public has a right to know your answers given that you are public officials appointed by the County Council to serve on the planning commission in the best interests of the public without any irreconcilable bias. The public also has the right to expect that as public officials you do not violate: a) the laws of the county and state regarding conflicts of interest; b) the principles of good governance, common sense, and fairness; and c) in the case of Mr. Blanchard, the ethics guidelines of the Washington State Bar Association. First, some background. As directors and decisionmakers of the CSA, the three of you recently voted to approve its petition filed on Oct. 1 with San Juan County Superior Court. This lawsuit asks the court to reverse the recent ruling of the Growth Management Hearings Board that rejected all of the CSA’s challenges, and upheld eight of the challenges of Friends of the San Juans, that were both filed earlier in the year to the revised CAO approved by the County Council in December. The planning commission on which you now serve was recently tasked by the county council to draft its response to the GMHB ruling in favor of the Friends’ challenges. Therein lies a serious conflict. However, the eight issues now before the planning commission are not isolated to Friends’ successful challenges.
Instead, several if not all of these issues are also the subject of the CSA petition filed on Oct. 1, although with an opposing slant, as well of the CSA’s original filing with the GMHB and of its comments to Friends’ filing during the subsequent GMHB hearings. So, the three of you have conflicting roles in the deliberations before the planning commission and San Juan Journal file photo County Superior Court. David Dehlendorf Here are the questions: 1) Whose interests do you serve on the Planning Commission, those of the public or of the CSA and its supporters? 2) Do you have a conflict of interest under county and state law, as well as under the principles of good governance, common sense and fairness, resulting from your dual roles on both sides of the lawsuit just filed by the CSA? 3) Does Mr. Blanchard believe that his dual roles violate any of the ethics guidelines of the Washington State Bar Association? In your response, please do not insult the public by arguing that any Friends’ director has a similar conflict of interest. To claim so is a red herring, as there are no directors or decision-makers of Friends sitting on the planning commission, Marine Resources Committee, or any other citizen board appointed by the county council. If there were a Friends’ director on a committee and if Friends were to file a lawsuit that involves deliberations before the same committee, I would agree that the Friends’ director should recuse him/herself. But there is no such situation today. I look forward to your reply to the above questions.
Counterpoint
Record distorted in ‘Trust versus Fear’ By Royce Meyerott
In order to reply to the letter written by Lee Brooks (“Fear them? Trust us? New playbook for local elections?”, Oct. 2, pg. 6), I find that I must use Lewis Carroll reasoning and start at the end in order to arrive at the beginning. We are warned in the letter to "look past innocuous feel-good names of special interest groups". It is unclear to me if the author was referring to The Friends of the San Juans, Puget Sound Partnership, The Stewardship Network, Madrona Institute or was he singling out TrustIslanders! They all have rather "innocuous and feel good names". The letter also instructs us to "consider fellow islanders on their personal merits instead of on characterizations". The letter ends with an admonishment that our problems will not be solved by some hick chewing on the end of a straw (referring to the Facebook ad with the boy and the cow?) Is he characterizing those that support TrustIslanders! as a bunch of hicks? The entire letter is spent in such blatantly transparent attempts to discredit TrustIslanders! through mis-characterizations and misleading questions. The letter insinuates that TrustIslanders! circumvented cam-
Writer misses the mark in criticism of local PAC paign finance laws and brought in money from "outside of normal funding". TrustIslanders! is a registered political action committee meeting all legal requirements of the state of Washington. All of the money that we raised came from islanders who found a voice in our grass-roots efforts. The letter failed to mention that the money spent by the campaigns of Jarman, Hughes, McClerren, as well as TrustIslanders!, was still about $10,000 less than what was spent by Pratt, Byers, and Stephens. The letter suggests that we promoted the Anti-Democratic candidates in what was supposed to be a non-partisan campaign. The real fact is that we were issue-driven in selecting our candidates. Our first half-page ad in the Journal only addressed issues and outcomes, with no mention of specific candidates. We endorsed candidates after a careful vetting process and only endorsed all three candidates toward the end of the campaign.
Moving backwards, the letter characterizes Common Sense Alliance (and by association TrustIslanders!) as "ranters" who spread "fear" with no regard for science. This is a gross mischaracterization. CSA has continually been an advocate of using peer-reviewed science to determine if there is a problem and only peer-reviewed science to address any potential problems. However, Friends of the San Juans, and like groups, continually raise money based on the fear-based approach that "we must be more careful with an island" (when they can't identify a problem) and their advocacy of the "precautionary principle" when they don't have good science to support one of their fear-based assumptions. It is TrustIslanders! belief that we must be even more careful with an island community. The author refers to a letter that I wrote, which he characterizes as a list of "conservative paranoia." I have included the letter below (see sanjuanjournal.com). I ask the reader to consider which parental approach works better within your family —fear or trust? A community is no different. Finally, a yoga master once told me, "Better to step over a sleeping Dragon." Thank you for the kick.

Hospital services failing local needs
The position taken by Peace Island Medical Center that no maternity services are provided in our new hospital facility may be in the interest of Peace Health as it tries to navigate between legal shoals in the debate over intrusion of religious views into health care. But it fails to meet the needs of many islanders and goes against what we’ve been told from the beginning—that the new hospital will increase the range of services available on the island. Instead this situation means a major reduction of important and necessary services for pregnant women. There is no debate over whether obstetric deliveries should be done on the island. They should not under normal circumstances, being safer on the mainland. But early and continuous prenatal care, including comprehensive care and screening, should be available (and used to be at the Inter Island Medical Center). Now we have a hospital-
The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com
based clinic that doesn’t provide any prenatal care? One ob-gyn physician visiting once a month, plus a monthly visit by a midwife, falls short of the level we enjoyed in previous years. Monthly prenatal visits throughout pregnancy are not adequate. More than half of pregnant women on our island are on Medicaid, and more frequent visits to the mainland pose a barrier to access. The Washington State Department of Health has this to say about the importance of prenatal care: “early and continuous prenatal care is an important strategy for improving long-term health of mothers and preventing adverse birth outcomes.” Where is the hospital district in this debate? Doesn’t it bear some responsibility to assure that pregnant women have full access to appropriate care on the island with seamless access to higher-end care on the mainland? Dr. John Geyman San Juan Island
Support for PAC runs deep, wide
Regarding the recent Lee Brooks column (“Fear them? Trust us? New playbook for local elections?”, Oct. 2, pg. 6), if Trust Islanders! was simply a “Republican Super PAC” then folks like myself would not be supporters. I would contend that Trust Islanders! is a politically diverse group of gen-
erally “trustworthy neighbors” who share a deep concern regarding the county’s implementation of the critical areas ordinance. As the county blunders along the road to the CAO, how can people not resort to political action? Stuck in my mind is a public meeting last year when county Planning Coordinator Shireene Hale made the ludicrous comment that when the CAO is implemented local farmers should run their agricultural plans by the county. “Fear” might not be the word that I’d have chosen, but it could be in my top 10 emotions when considering consenting to planning department scrutiny regarding how I farm my property. “Absurd...sickening...disbelief...horror...?” Later, a former county council member assured local farmers that the CAO would provide us with agricultural exemptions for wetland setbacks, etc. Well, it looks like the state does not agree and farmers may see their exemptions go away. Mr. Brooks, look around you and it’s really not that hard to “follow the money.” Some of it came from the Ibold family out on West Valley Road, “new arrivals” to the island since 1999. If that PAC money did in fact make a difference in the election then that’s democracy at it’s best. And one more correction, Mr. Brooks, we chew hay (not “straw”). Jay Ibold San Juan Island
‘Dems’ to blame for shutdown, too
Representative Larsen has provided a statement in which he claims that “We [the House] would end this shutdown in an hour if we were just allowed to vote on a clean bill to reopen the government.” That may well be true. It is equally true the Senate could end the shutdown in an hour if they would pass the funding bill already passed and sent to them by the House, which is the only body in Congress which is constitutionally empowered to originate spending bills. Both sides have the power to end the shutdown in an hour. Both sides are intransigent. But only one side has stated publicly that it refuses any negotiation whatsoever. That it refuses any compromise whatsoever. For those who believe that government should be a conflict of wills, this will be acceptable. For those who believe that government should involve negotiation and compromise, that both sides must be willing at least to consider giving up something they want in order to pass legislation, it’s clear where the ultimate responsibility for the shutdown lies.

By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
So, what do Kickstarter, the prickly pear cactus, and a voracious little moth called cactoblastis all have in common? In a name, that would be Terry Domico. At the moment, the noted conservationist and San Juan Island author is banking on a bit of exposure on the web and a cross-your-fingers-like campaign on Kickstarter, the online funding platform for creative projects, to be able to gather the rest of the information, documentation and interviews needed to put the finishing touch on his latest project, a book about the mostly untold story, at least at this point, of what he likes to call “The Great Cactus War.” And quite a tale it is. But where to begin? Let’s start with the “now”. Out in the wilds of eastern Louisiana, scientists have the march of the cactoblastis at bay, and have kept it from spreading into “real cactus country” of Texas, Arizona and the greater Southwest largely through the use of bacteria and a certain species of wasp — a predator of the so-called cactus moth. But that tightly regulated regimen could all be blown apart in the face of another large-scale natural disaster, another Katrina-like event. If cactoblastis hurdles over that barrier, Domico says, it could wipe out the Southwest prickly pear, and, equally alarming, “it could cause a complete collapse of the entire desert ecosystem.” That’s mostly because, he adds, “Prickly pear is a ‘keystone’ species, like Douglas fir in the Northwest, it creates habitat for other plants and animals, or like the Garry oak in the San Juans.” In recent years, cactoblastis made its way to Florida and then beyond by island-hopping across the Caribbean. But way back more than 100 years ago, another possible jump-off point in Domico’s story, the moth arrived in Australia, in Botany Bay, onboard a cargo ship carrying some of the very first convicts banished to the British colony, along with a number of prickly pears. Why did the British import the prickly pear cactus to Australia? Well, that another part of the story, which goes back even further, and which Domico would be delighted to share. But once in Australia, the prickly pear not only flourished, it spread, and it grew, and it became so formidable that it engulfed farms, towns and villages, displacing families and communities, and conquered nearly everything in its path, as much as 29,000,000 acres were lost to the pear. Many of the people Domico has interviewed in Australia remember it well, and with sorrow. “Entire villages vanished under this great octopus of cactus,” he said. Then a savior arrived, in the form of a moth. Discovered in a remote valley in Argentina, the cactoblastis was let loose on Australia’s prickly pear infestation and in a short time had brought the scourge to its knees, as its ravenous larvae consumed mile upon mile of the defenseless plant. By the late 1920s, cactoblastis was hailed as a hero in Australia. But as is often the case when Man tinkers with Mother Nature, a one-time remedy evolves and morphs into a clear and present danger. And in the end, that’s a large part of the story that Domico hopes to tell.

Chamber strikes perfect pitch; music to save the savage beast By Howard Schonberger Journal columnist
"Music to save the savage beast" My first experience with classical music was some 90 years ago, in Council Bluffs, Iowa, my birthplace. My grandma Kate lived on a hill. My dad Ed was running the general store my grandpop had owned until his early death. The store had burned down and the insurance company turned out to be a fraud and we moved back to dad's hometown of Omaha across the Missouri river when we were flooded. The insurers went to prison. Nonetheless, Kate (known as "Battling Kate" by friend and foe alike) insisted that the family get together for dinner on Sundays, whenever possible. My mom Anna played the piano after a great meal. Uncle Joe was violinist, aunt Rose was lead singer and uncle Harry tried to join with varied tympany when he was in town from Des Moines. My older brother, Stan and I were the audience, along with whomever else was invited. Believe it or not, it was good music. Not that my brother and I had much time to be musicians, we always enjoyed listening. The closest I came was as leader of the Henry Yates grammar school Bugle and Drum Corps. I have loved classical music ever since. This endearment never wanes, and since the day that Chamber Music San Juans started we have rarely missed a program, public or private.

During the depression years, I delivered papers to the home of concert pianist Abram Dansky, in Omaha. When I went to collect the bill each month I tried to get to their house at the time he rehearsed, and would wait outside in all kinds of weather until I was discovered and they caught me, and then insisted I come in to be more comfortable. My Uncle Joe and aunt had an apartment at the Blackstone Hotel and lived next door to Joseph Littau, director of the Omaha Symphony Orchestra, another place I could occasionally hear great living room chords presented. Every a year, the OSO would present their season of symphony, opera and ballet. On one day of that year they would have every school bus pick up all the students in Omaha for a day at the great auditorium. What a treat. I thought about those days this last Sept. 2l, when I attended Chamber Music San Juans' annual concert. It was a good crowd, but not a sellout. This article is to proclaim that those who missed it should eat their heart out. They missed a fantastic group of talents. Artistic director Patricia Kostek deserves kudos, not only for the wonderful musicians from near and far assembled, but also for her superb artistic performance with her clarinet music, which joined the talented guitarists, Alexander Dunn (who could pick guitar notes as though he were keyboarding a grand piano) and Randall Pile, who did the only solo piece. Artur Girsky who gave background chats about the music from as far back as 250 years, and Natasha Bazhanov were flawless violinists, as was Rowena Hammill Davis on cello. Jessica Choe was a show in herself as her every gesture at the keyboard seemed to seduce the music to our ears. You've come a long ways since 1987, Chamber musicians. Thanks for a wonderful evening.

dog with a preponderance of the evidence standard. Second, the ordinance replaces the existing standard for final declarations that a dog is a dangerous dog with a preponderance of the evidence standard.
