State to probe telecom debacle

Crew at fault in ferry collision

Ultilities commission to investigate service outgage, response

Journal staff report

A Washington State Ferries investigative panel is recommending expanded training and more clearly defined roles on the bridge in the wake of a mid-September collision in which a super class ferry struck and caused irreparable damage to a motor yacht near the Lopez Island ferry terminal.

The board of inquiry, convened

by WSF on the day of the crash, determined that human error and miscommunication between the captain and second mate contributed to the collision, and that it could have been avoided. The

The Washington State Utilities and Transportation Commission announced Saturday that it will open an investigation into the CenturyLink voice and data service outage that affected the San Juan Islands for 10 days.

“I am extremely pleased that the Utilities and Transportation Commission will do a formal investigation on the C entur yLink outage, as it will allow us to understand exactly the cause and response to this crisis,” state Senator Kevin Kevin Ranker Ranker said.

The commission is the state agency in charge of regulating the rates and services of telephone companies operating in Washington, as well as promoting a competitive telecommunications marketplace.

It is the commission’s responsibility to ensure regulated companies provide safe and reliable service to customers at reasonable rates, while allowing them the See DEBACLE, Page 5

Link restored; what next?

Local leaders press for better reliability in outage aftermath

By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

Ten days after an underwater fiber-optic cable between Lopez Island and San Juan Island was severed, telecommunications and internet services in the San Juan Islands were restored before noon on Friday, Nov. 15, according to CenturyLink At noon on Friday, Nov. 15, CenturyLink Northwest Region President Brian Stading informed the Journal, “Our fiber has been repaired and is now fully operational as of this morning.

We are making arrangements to install microwave radios for diversity purposes even after the fiber is restored.”

Stading also said in an e-mail to the Journal, “We fully appreciate the impact this has had on customers. The company is evaluating service

credit policies.”

Stading pointed out the day before that “some customers may have service level agreements as part of their business contracts.”

But, Stading concluded, “We won’t be responding to speculation, rumors or extortion.”

Stading and many of the two-dozen company employees and three dozen contractors who have been in the islands for up to nine days will depart knowing that communications over the holidays have been restored, and that business communications during the busy holiday shopping season and beyond should be unimpaired.

“They’re the best in the world,” said Stading of the engineers, technicians, divers and marine specialists who succeeded in restoring 911 emergency service and other voice and internet linkages to the 621 square miles and 15,800 people of San Juan County.

Helen was born in Ottumwa, Iowa, to Charles and Helen Griffin. She was their second child following her sister, Marjorie, who predeceased her in 2012.

The family moved to Oakland, Calif., when she was four years old. They lived in the area above Lake Merritt where she attended grammar school and graduated from Oakland High.

Helen married Donald McNeilly and gave birth to two children, Carol and Michael. The marriage did not survive World War II and she subsequently married Nathan Benedict in 1951.

They had two children, Scott and Elizabeth. Nate adopted Carol and Michael who subsequently took the Benedict name.

The family lived in Oakland for four years while Nate worked on the Berkeley campus of the University of California. When Nate transferred to the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory in Livermore, the family moved there. Upon Nate’s retirement in 1976, Helen and Nate moved to Friday Harbor, Wash.

Helen was a member of the Altar Society of St. Francis Catholic Church and was a member of the Medical Guild supporting the local medical

center.

She loved the house they built out in San Juan Valley and her decorating talents made it a beautiful and welcoming home. Helen had a green thumb and she found much joy in creating stunning gardens that the entire family enjoyed.

Helen Benedict The center of Helen’s life were her children, Carol Adibzadeh (Siavash); Michael Benedict (Sherry); Scott Benedict (Sharon) and Elizabeth Steenbeeke (Alain).

Helen accepted Nate’s children and loved them as her own. They are Toni Parsons (Greg); Nate Benedict Jr. (Carol) and Phil Benedict

(Debbie). Helen also treasured the many subsequent grandchildren, great grandchildren and great, great grandchildren.

Helen was a wonderful loving mom and grandparent and is deeply loved by all of the kids, all of whom have kept faithfully in touch with her over the years.

Helen spent her whole life saving injured or stray animals, from hummingbirds to horses.

As a consequence, until her last months, she was never without dogs and cats, for if they crossed her yard as strays, they were soon fed and adopted. Remembrances to animal charities would honor her memory and continue her saving efforts.

Helen’s last prayers were that all her family would outlive her, and her prayers have been answered. She will be missed by all of us.

A Catholic Funeral Mass will be held for Helen at St. Francis Catholic Church in Friday Harbor, at a date to be announced. A family-only interment will take place at St. Francis Catholic Cemetery.

schooling there, Polly attended Pratt Institute N.Y.C. School of Art and Design, specializing in interior design.

In May of 1947, Polly married Edgar Bloom Stern Jr., the love of her life. Edgar felt the same way about Polly, stating that it was “The most important decision I ever made.

Everything else flows from that moment.” (In His Own Words by Edgar B. Stern).

Initially, Polly and Edgar made their life in New Orleans, La., where they started their family of four children: Sandra, Eric, Monte and Lessing.

Eventually, in 1968, Polly and Edgar, along with their youngest child, Lessing,

moved their headquarters to Aspen, Colo., where they became interested and involved in the worlds of skiing and music.

In the 1970s, they developed Deer Valley Resort in Utah, where they maintained a second home.

The Sterns made their final move to San Juan Island in 1986, where they put down deep roots and where Polly continued to pursue her passionate interests in landscape design, interior home design and in restaurant design and development.

Polly’s beloved Edgar passed away in October, 2008. She chose to remain on San Juan Island enjoying time with her family,

Continued from page 1 fiber-optic cable broke, disrupting telephone and internet communications then as well.

Although 911 service was restored within three hours, then-county commissioner John Evans, quoted in the Nov. 3, 1999, issue of the Journal, said at that time, “This is a real wake-up call. We need a back-up system. The large issue is 911. We need to be able to respond quickly. We need to look at improving the microwave link.”

Fourteen years later, County Councilman Rick Hughes offered almost identical views, but prefaced those views with both praise for CenturyLink’s actions and criticism for its public communications.

“From these problems can come a longterm solution that helps everyone,” Hughes said.

The other two councilmen, Chairman

Jamie Stephens and Bob Jarman, expressed similar views. Jarman reported that during a Friday morning conference call when the fix was announced, San Juan Island Fire Chief Steve Marler spoke for everyone when he told CenturyLink’s representative that they needed to do a better job keeping the public informed if similar circumstances arose in the future.

Stevens said the council and the Washington State Utilities and Transportation Commission would receive a full report in the coming weeks. Informed that the chairman of the UTC said they would hold a full-scale hearing on the outage, Stevens said, “If the UTC holds a hearing on the problems that occurred here, that hearing should be in San Juan County.”

UTC Chairman David Danner would not confirm that the UTC commission would come to Friday Harbor for a hearing, but said “it might be a good idea.”

throughout the shutdown, also said the discussion must move in the direction of local control of telephone and internet communications.

“That means that companies like CenturyLink need to open up their networks to competitive companies like mine,” Greene said.

Brent Snow, General Manager of Roche Harbor Resort, who was actively involved trying to get the resort back online after the outage, also gave a nod to the competitive local companies.

“We’re evaluating the effect the outage had on our business and we’re looking at alternative providers of communications services,” he said.

Mark Anderson of San Juan Island, a technology and international business consultant, summed up the prevailing mood for many at the Summit, sponsored by the San Juan Economic Development Council: “If I owned a business, I couldn’t possibly decide to put it in San Juan County because of the lack of telecom infrastructure. Broadband is the economic enabler for every single business in the county. We must find a way to make it happen.”

fixing the problems,” said Danner, who also noted redundancy and backup services must be provided, especially to assure that emergency telecommunications services were maintained.

As business and civic life returned to normal, the attention of community leaders turned to the future.

Chris Thomerson, president of Orcas Power and Light Cooperative board of directors, said at a Nov. 13 Economic Development Summit that the outage showed how important broadband communications is to the economic well-being of the area. “The community now needs to stand up and say “we need it,” Thomerson said.

“We have to have local control, and the cooperative model is one way to get there,” he added.

Another OPALCO board member, Vince Dauciunas, said the outage shows “we need multi-path redundancy and we are prepared to work with CenturyLink and other providers to provide it. For broadband, we need two things: will and finances. The problems incentivize me to move forward with a practical plan to extend broadband to the entire county.”

Defeat of I-522 deconstructed Record spending by opponents isn’t the only reason for the ballot measure’s defeat

By Jerry Cornfield

Everett Daily Herald political reporter / columnist

Initiative 522 failed to pass for more reasons than just the $22 million opponents shelled out to defeat it.

All those bucks certainly made a difference; it was the most money ever spent against an initiative in state history, so far.

Had those pushing the food labeling initiative done a better job seeding their message throughout the state and tilling the fields of voters, they could have harvested victory.

Rather, their pitch for requiring labels on foods with genetically-modified ingredients lacked urgency and their campaign inspired little excitement outside Seattle and urban pockets in Western Washington.

(San Juan County bucked the trend of most of Washington's rural counties, with an approval mark of nearly 65 percent in support of I-522).

At times, it seemed those running the Yes on 522 campaign had not learned many lessons from the defeat of a nearly identical food labeling initiative in California in 2012. As a result the ballot measure, which 66 percent of potential voters endorsed in a September Elway Poll, is on track to finish with only 49 percent voting for it.

It is a startling but not shocking collapse of support, said political consultants, pollsters — and a noted chronicler of food labeling battles watching from the sidelines.

“Initiative campaigns are successful when they offer a solution to something the public perceives as a significant problem,” said consultant Sandeep Kaushik, who had a busy fall helping state Sen. Ed Murray’s campaign for Seattle mayor. “I’m not sure this initiative passed that test.”

While the public does see value in labels on food, they were not overwhelmingly worried about the presence of GMOs in what they eat, said Seattle pollster Stuart Elway.

That made them persuadable.

Advisers to the No on 522 campaign knew this too. They took a tack saying that, while there is nothing wrong with labeling food, Initiative 522 wasn’t the right way of doing it. They cited their reasons—higher costs, new regulations, confusing exemptions—and used gobs of money to make sure everyone in front of a television set in October got a taste.

For good measure, they repeated it in a string of mailers sent to the homes of those who always vote.

Of course this is pretty much how it played out in California. This is why those pols not involved in the campaign wonder why initiative supporters weren’t better prepared for the tactics they encountered. The Yes on 522 campaign lacked a convincing rebuttal on the need for labeling and how it wouldn’t bring a trove of troubles.

Supporters had money. They spent $8 million—an impressive sum and only slightly less than their friends

The commission does not regulate the rates of broadband services, cellular, cable or Internet service.

“We recognize this outage caused serious disruption and inconvenience to the people of the San Juan Islands,” said David Danner, UTC Chairman.

“Our investigation will look into the cause of the outage, the company’s emergency preparedness and response, restoration efforts, and communication with the public.”

expended in California—yet could not get their response out often enough on television and almost not at all in the mailboxes. Nor could they turn out their voters.

Their plan called for winning at least 60 percent of the votes in King County, to pick up Snohomish County and to do respectably in the rural areas. They are almost there in the state’s largJerry Cornfield est county. They barely got there in Snohomish County—51.4 percent. But they are getting wiped out in the smaller counties of Eastern Washington.

Dan Flynn, a Denver-based writer with Food Safety News, believes rural voters are the reason I-522 went down.

“Indeed, the rural counties of Washington voted just like the rural counties of California did a year ago when they proved key to toppling Proposition 37,” Flynn wrote Sunday online. “When the medicine show behind the Prop.

37 campaign announced it was moving on to Washington state, I remember thinking, 'Gee, a state with a larger rural vote than California'.”

As of Wednesday morning, I-522 was getting rejected by 82 percent in Garfield County, 79 percent in Adams County, 75 percent in Grant and Franklin counties, 73 percent in Walla Walla County and 72 percent in Yakima County.

Those are impressive numbers, and are as much a reason for why voters put the kibosh on food labeling as the $22 million of opposition spending.

Steep price paid for medical ‘firsts’

On the subject of PeaceHealth Peace Island Medical center reaching their one-year anniversary and celebrating a series of “firsts” let me be among those, of presumably many, in relating my own experience of firsts with the new face of medical care on San Juan Island.

The first of having my daughter treated for a hot water scald on her arm and paying $610 for some aloe and a bandage.

The first of having my son receive a brief medical exam and paying $350 for the privilege.

The first of having my wife speak to a doctor and receive a blood test and being hit with an invoice of $878.

And the first of having a small shard removed from under my fingernail, which took three hours and four separate Marcaine injections for a routine nerve block, while the actual removal took two minutes, followed by a bill for $998, 50 percent of which for the numerous Marcaine shots that left my hand numb and useless for two days afterwards.

As someone who works construction, and as a parent of two children, I have had numerous occasions to visit the old IIMC for care. Yes, the floors were cracked linoleum, the walls needed another coat of paint and the lighting was harsh fluorescents, but you left there after being treated

satisfied that you were not being outrageously gouged by the cost of medical care, alas something I have yet to experience at Peace Health.

So congratulations PIMC CEO Jim Barnhart on your $30 million hospital, with the wonderful art on the walls and the gorgeously landscaped grounds in joining the exalted company of the island grocery stores, gas stations and ferry transport in making San Juan Island an increasingly unaffordable place to live and work.

Criticism met by graceful response

I just received a call from Brandon Cowan regarding my letter in the San Juan Islander and submitted to the Journal, “Wisecracks over outage don’t fly”, Nov. 13, pg. 6.

First, I want to express my appreciation for his call and for his explanation of his comment in the Seattle Times. Brandon explained the concern of some in the business community regarding the impact of the outage on tourism and that his comment was meant to minimize that impact.

He also explained the effort that he and other officials were making to hold CenturyLink accountable and to get this repaired as soon as possible.

Brandon and I may not completely agree on the level and nature of communication, but we had a very positive phone call.

I am writing this because I believe that if all differences of opinion were handled the way that Brandon handled

Ferries big flop in customer service

I am an out-of-town business traveler, unfamiliar with the ferry service.

On each of three ferry trips during the week of Oct. 28, the ticket clerk and/or the person directing vehicles into waiting lanes, was unacceptably impolite and impatient, with this paying customer.

I was clearly bothering them with my few simple questions (or by following the instruction on the posted signs), and keeping them from having their paid time to themselves, or gossiping with their friends standing nearby.

Clearly, all of these individuals wish they could be unemployed, and I must say, I sincerely share that wish.

I came to Friday Harbor on business; but as a result of the experience, my chances of ever returning for a pleasure trip, to spend money on the ferry and the local economy, is near zero.

I intend to do both with civility, reason and patience.

Let’s work productively to air and, when possible, resolve differing views.

Upgrades to our countybased, nonprofit air ambulance service already are under discussion.

We all have an interest in further enhancing our award-winning Island Air Ambulance program.

Broadening the service envelope, to include flights during known icing conditions, will be a great stride.

We can do it, but need to accomplish this goal in a fiscally responsible manner and without increasing the existing district medical center or EMS levies.

We face challenges. Some we can tackle, and others we need to accept as part of island life. May we have the wisdom to know the difference, and work together to make improvements when feasible.

Public benefit in viable farmland

San Juan Island Grange’s mission to support a resilient community of growers, makers and keepers requires us to weigh in on the farmland tax debate.

We are an association of islanders who truly care how land is treated, who work to provide good food for our own use and for the market, and who are concerned about our families’ futures. While we recognize that there will be people who take advantage of tax laws, we must not allow good farms to be closed in a well-intentioned but overbroad enforcement action.

Farmland provides eco-

logical services such as water filtration and habitat, as well as social services such as open space and local food. These services have value in the human economy.

That is why the state has set up a way for farmers to get partially repaid with reduced taxes for providing these services. Recent resurgence at the farmers market, the food co-op and the Grange show that islanders do value what diversified small farms provide.

Leaving the legal questions to the lawyers, we can all see that it is bad public policy to interpret tax law in a way that closes down our local farms. The state Legislature made it clear that the intent of the law was to provide a future for farms.

The recent breakdown in our connection to the mainland underscores the importance of resilient solutions right here in our county. Local food is not just See LETTERS, Page 7

Weight on Food Bank rises in winter Remedy for in public programs, like food CenturyLink Cutbacks stamps, mean more challenges in store

F

ollowing a week long disruption of lives, business and communications, CenturyLink is faced with a big job repairing its reputation and rapport with its customers (which include almost every business and resident of the archipelago).

In an ironic twist, the Economic Development Council’s “economic summit” met to discuss the county’s economic future during the communications shutdown. The dominant theme: broadband communications. Virtually all participants, including OPALCO Board President Chris Thomerson and a Brickworks full of civic leaders and business owners, returned again and again to the song, “We Must Have Countywide Broadband.”

We realize it’s presumptuous of a small-town paper to tell a multi-billion dollar company anything, but we’d like to suggest three things: 1. Give everybody a rebate on their telephone and internet bills for service undelivered; 2. Make redundancy a reality, not just a promise; 3. Either join with OPALCO, Rock Island Technology and Zito Media to bring affordable, efficient broadband to everyone—or get out of the way and let us do it ourselves.

For the Record n Islanders Bank remained open and fully operational in all services during the recent telecommunication outage. A page 1 article in the Nov. 13 edition of the Journal, “Felled by fiber-optic failure” incorrectly stated it was among banks limited to check-cashing in the first days of the outage, and that its ATMs were back in operation

by Saturday (Nov. 9), when, in fact, they were functional throughout the outage. n

Special to the Journal

T

he San Juan Island/Friday Harbor Food Bank, operating in a small building across from MarketPlace, is one of the most important 501 C-3 non-profit organizations on San Juan Island.

Each week it provides basic, necessary and healthy food to an average of 120 households. That translates into providing basic, necessary and healthy food to about 1,100 individuals each month. The number of those seeking assistance continues to increase as the economy is slow to recover—especially for the working poor.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions: Q: How does the Food Bank obtain the food it distributes?

A: Ninety percent of the food the Food Bank distributes is purchased locally with funds provided by you—our local individual donors, including donations from important local family foundations.

Ten percent of the food the Food Bank purchases is purchased with funds from state food assistance funds administered through the Bellingham Food Bank. In addition, some foods are supplied on a monthly basis through the federal government’s surplus commodities program.

Bread and fresh produce are donated by local businesses and gardeners. These are most appreciated by consumers and assist in extending the Food Bank’s limited funds.

Valmark provides valuable food products and in-kind services during the year—especially during the holiday season. Friday Harbor Freight provides donated transport of commodities from Bellingham on a monthly basis Community donations of non-perishable food items not only help stretch the food budget, they also assist in creating awareness within the community of the fact that there are families in our community who need assistance to meet their basic needs.

Q: Who uses the San Juan Island/ Friday Harbor Food Bank?

A: Fifty-six percent of those being served are between the ages of 19 and 54 years old; 25 percent of those being served are children under 18 years of age living in households served.

Nineteen percent of those being served are senior or disabled residents living on fixed incomes Q: Does the Food Bank have other expenses? Yes. Journal photo / Scott Rasmussen A: We are most appreBill Cumming ciative that the Mullis Community Senior Center provides the Food Bank space to operate on its property with no expense; however, utilities (power, refuse, and telephone), pest control care, general supplies, and management costs are necessary expenses above and beyond the purchase of food. Donations are the only way to meet these necessary expenses of doing business.

Q: What is next?

A: In winter months, the Food Bank definitely sees the most need for its services.

This winter promises to be more challenging than ever due to the reduction in programs that help children and families such as Food Stamps, Women-Infants-andChildren (WIC), child care assistance, et cetera. The increase in the cost of food affects all of us.

Surely you have noticed how much more you are paying for food. The Food Bank certainly has. This increase in the cost of food—no matter where you buy it—is something we are all experiencing.

The Food Bank runs an efficient, bare bones operation.

Dedicated volunteers do the food ordering, shelf stocking, and staffing on Wednesdays and Saturdays between noon and 2 p.m. Donations are accepted between 11 a.m. and noon, or by appointment. Volunteers are needed to assist on days open. Leave a message at 378-4640, or stop by during open hours.

Thank you always supporting your local food bank.

Recent theatre-goers enjoyed a delightful performance of island youth in Harvey, where the presence of a giant rabbit revealed human behavior.

Again at the Fairgrounds, Stage Left’s current performance of “Other Desert Cities“ reveals the driving force in family behind invisible members.

Gathered for Christmas in Palm Springs, a daughter mourns and memorializes passing of her brother Henry, her best friend, as parents suppress any memory or discussion of him. A younger brother tries to mediate conflict between generations, between appearance and reality, between public and private.

Divergent truths of each tear family apart as viewers identify with their dilemmas.

Fear drives control. The mother sucks cigarettes and booze as she lambasts drug addicts. Irony and humor abound. In prick-

ly caricature, a cactus is the only living thing on the set, her home.

The family argues: reconciling belief and resentment, becoming present and accepting past stories, all of them. Painful piecing and parsing of Henry, present only in memory, conclude in mercy and love.

The no-holds barred dialog underscores a conscious choice, not to do harm, and an eternal human desire to be safe and cherished, to trust.

Stage Left has again given a present to community.

Happy Holidays.

T

his Friday, Nov. 22, the San Juan Community Theatre presents “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King”.

Mary Gray adapted the classic Tchaikovsky ballet into a modern production featuring singing, dancing and a family-friendly script.

Penelope Haskew is at the helm for this one; it will be her fourth play with the Family Theatre.

In the play, little Clara is given a toy nutcracker for Christmas. She falls asleep and dreams of the nutcracker coming to life, battling the evil mouse king and taking her off to the land of sweets, where she sees all sorts of magical dances.

Haskew decided on this play because of its large number of roles for youngsters, and the goal is always to get as many kids as possible involved.

Her daughter suggested it after they read a pop-up book of the story together.

T h e audition process

Thursday, Nov. 21

is fairly intense—Haskew designs it that way to ensure that the appropriate ages are cast for each role.

“A lot of it is just seeing who can carry a tune, who can be loud enough to be heard from the back row, who can focus and pay attention through two and a half hours of an audition process,” she said.

There are a lot of highlights for Haskew in directing family theatre, but she has trouble picking just one.

“Just watching the kids sort of get their energy, and you can sort of see when they feel really good about what they’re doing – that’s just the coolest,” she said.

The kids are enjoying it just as much as their director. Rachel Starr, 10, plays the iconic nutcracker role.

“I like being able to just be on stage, and it’s just really fun to be a part of the play and be a really big part in,” Rachel said.

The kids have obviously worked hard for their upcoming debut. Both lead child actors, playing Clara and Fritz, feel comfortable on stage.

The jokes are great too—clever enough to entertain the adult members of the audience. The mouse king’s rap and backup dancers ought to be a huge highlight.

This gifted young cast almost makes you forget that you are watching a play – that is, until the slain mouse king is carried offstage by his comrades without n his hat, and a tiny mouse sticks out his sword to drag it backstage to a chorus of “You forgot your hat!”
