Incumbents win in Co-op election Hudson 50 votes shy in race for director post By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

The Carter Avenue ballfields are intended to be the new home for many of Friday Harbor athletic teams, including the Dragons, a high school club sport sponsored by Friday Harbor Athletic Association.
Town: sidewalk to stay 2-of-3 approved, change in ballfields sidewalk rejected By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
“Play ball!” may soon be heard at the new community sports fields on Carter Avenue in Friday Harbor. But first, the San Juan Island School District asked for changes to the original conditional-use permit approved in 2005 by the Town of Friday Harbor. The three proposed amendments included relocation of a required sidewalk on Carter Avenue, from Guard Street to the ball fields, construction of a 1,440 square-foot pump-house and maintenance building, and
relocation of the family playground area to an area nearer the restrooms and parking lot. Construction of the maintenance building and moving the playground area were tentatively approved by the town council at an April 24 public hearing, and were later formally approved by the council at its May 1 evening meeting. But the council rejected the sidewalk relocation plan. John Kurtz, chairman of Friday Harbor Fields Board and of the Friday Harbor Athletic Association, which is undertaking the ballfields construction, said that constructing the sidewalk on the west side of Carter Ave. might cost about $150,000 more than originally estimated, requiring postponement of the softball fields. Kurtz said the board “will of course comply” with town requirements.
The original plan, as proposed and approved in 2005, envisioned two soccer fields, three softball and baseball diamonds, a multi-use field suitable for football, lacrosse and soccer, a family playground area and a clubhouse for restrooms and a concession stand. To date, the clubhouse and the multi-use field have been completed. The other buildings and fields, except the postponed softball fields, are scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. Sidewalks, stormwater retention and other project elements must be completed before a town permit for use of the ballfields can be issued, according to Town Administrator Duncan Wilson. Wilson said that a maintenance and operation agreement See STAY, Page 4
In the middle of his welcome speech at the 78th Annual OPALCO membership meeting, Board of Directors President Chris Thomerson shocked many of the 300 or so attendees by announcing that General Manager Randy Cornelius would be retiring, then casually referring to Foster Hildreth as Cornelius’s successor. Some members of the audience didn’t know that a decision on future leadership was even in the works. County Councilman Bob Jarman, Foster Hildreth who had considered and rejected being a candidate for the board, said he was troubled by the secrecy of the succession process. “They should have at least told the membership that they were going to pick a successor without a search,” said Jarman, who also said he had submitted a question on the issue to the annual meeting that morning, but it was not brought up at the meeting. The high point of the annual meeting came with a standing ovation for Cornelius when he was introduced to give the “state of the cooperative” address to the assembly. The crowd of 210 members on board the ferry Hyak greeted Cornelius with a standing ovation, and repeated the ovation at the end. Incumbents Vince Dauciunas and Glenna Hall were re-elected to

Dauciunas racked up the most votes, 1,658; Glenna Hall polled 1,112; Steve Hudson made a strong showing with 1,062 votes. Doug Glenna Hall Rowan polled 497, Brian Hoyer 386 and John Sheehan 128.

A state appellate court this week rejected an appeal by a San Juan County based property-rights group, bringing a likely end to the legal battle over whether the County Council violated state law by meeting behind closed doors while crafting revisions to local land-use rules. In a relatively brief, “unpublished opinion” issued on April 28, a threejudge panel of Division One of the state Court of Appeals decided unanimously that, “Because CAPR (Citizens’ Alliance for Property Rights) submitted no evidence that a majority of the Council attended CAO Team gatherings or that the CAO Team exercised actual or de facto decision making authority, no ‘meeting’ occurred for OPMA purposes, and summary judgment was appropriate.” The 16-page opinion was written by Michael Spearman, who on April 1 became Chief Judge of the Seattle-based court. In October 2012, the Citizens’ Alliance for Property Rights sued the county, claiming that the

Open Public Meetings Act was violated when a group of county employees and three County Council members met to discuss the thenpending update of the county’s critical areas ordinances. In 2013, Judge Alan Hancock of Island County granted “summary judgment” to the county at trial, saying that CAPR had presented no evidence that a trial on the facts was called for. “I’m disappointed in the decision and in the fact that the very brief opinion was unpublished, which is an impediment to obtaining Supreme Court review,” CAPR attorney Dennis Reynolds said of the appellate court decision. Reynolds said no deci-

sion on a further appeal would be made until he had talked with CAPR and with representatives of the other groups - Allied Daily Newspapers, the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association and the Washington Coalition for Open Government - who filed a friend-ofthe-court brief supporting CAPR’s position. The update of the CAO was passed by the County Council in December 2012. It has since been the object of multiple appeals by various interest groups, cases that are ongoing in the San Juan County Superior Court and before the Growth Management Hearings Board.

and actions to expand its fiber optic broadband backbone. Hudson also said he was concerned about lack of transparency of OPALCO’s broadband planning and about whether OPALCO electricity customers would pay to expand broadband capacity to deliver internet connections on a retail basis directly to members. The announcement that Hildreth would take over as the top executive of OPALCO was a surprise to most of the annual meeting audience, but not to the board. Dauciunas said the board had been talking about the succession plan in private executive sessions for almost a year. “The board talked with other coops in the state,” Dauciunas said. “None of the co-ops we talked with had any suggestions. They told us we should promote from within if we had an experienced executive. We had that in Foster Hildreth, so we saw no need to do an expensive executive search.” D.T. McCarty, a frequent and vocal participant at hospital district and other public meetings on San Juan Island, was decidedly unimpressed at her first OPALCO membership meeting. “This was my first meeting and I won’t be attending any more,” she said.

Roy Hiroshi Matsumoto: 1913—2014 Roy Matsumoto – “Ranger Roy” - passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on the morning of April 21, 2014. He was less than two weeks away from his 101st birthday. Born in Los Angeles and educated in Japan and in the U.S., Roy volunteered for the U.S. military from one of the camps into which the U.S. government forced 110,000 people of Japanese descent in 1942. He distinguished himself with many acts of heroism during his service with Merrill’s Marauders in Burma, and is credited by other members of his battalion with saving their lives – twice! He was awarded numerous medals, including the Legion of Merit. He was also inducted in the U.S. Army Ranger Hall Roy Matsumoto: of Fame, and the Military Intelligence Hall of Fame. In May 1, 1913—April 21, 2014 2011, Roy received the Congressional Gold Medal along with other Nisei WWII veterans. Roy had a life-long love of learning, and was an avid reader and collector of all kinds of books on science, history, and his favorite hobby, woodworking. He also loved fishing and the ocean, and enjoyed watching the ferries from his living room. His was a familiar face in Friday Harbor, and he had many friends from all walks of life. Aspects of Roy’s character seldom seen by others were his devotion to his family and his love of nature. He loved walking on his beach, collecting driftwood and rocks, and he supported many conservation causes. He also enjoyed visiting his daughter Fumi, and her family in Juneau, Alaska, where he liked to fish for salmon and halibut. Roy is survived by his wife Kimiko, daughters Fumi (Richard Cormack) and Karen (John deChadenedes), and three grandchildren, Annie Matsumoto-Grah, Nik Matsumoto-Grah, and Bryan Cormack. We will all miss Roy. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the San Juan Lions Club, c/o American Legion, Post 163, PO Box 163, Friday Harbor, WA 98250, or the Nisei Veterans Committee, 1212 S King St, Seattle, WA 98144, of which Roy was a life member. A potluck memorial service will be held for Roy on Memorial Day, May 26 at the Brickworks, 150 Nichols Street, Friday Harbor, Wash., from noon to 3 p.m. All are welcome to help celebrate Roy’s life.

Islanders will hear more jet noise, more often, if scheduled runway maintenance at Ault Field on Naval Air Station Whidbey happens as planned. It’s scheduled for the last week of May and second week of June. NAS Whidbey announced in a press release that “routine repairs to remove rubber and repaint runway markings” will close one of the two Ault Field runways from May 31 to June 6, and the other from June 7-13. The Navy says the June 7 to June 13 closure may affect Lopez Island and the San Juans more than the earlier closure, but that the level of jet noise will depend on wind direction and takeoff and landing patterns on particular days. The NAS Whidbey Island public affairs office has established a new comment line and email address for complaints and concerns; (360) 257-6665. Comments can also be e-mailed to comment.NASWI@navy.mil.

The owner of the Cask & Schooner has added much appeal to Friday Harbor, at great personal expense. The Port Authority included the roof over a mezzanine, used for events, on chance that the future tenant of Downriggers can afford to rent it. Should the mezzanine remain vacant, our views disappear unnecessarily. ALEX SALIE Friday Harbor

erty owner wants to be able to do what he or she wants with his or her property, but they don’t want their neighbors to be able to do anything they want. So we have regulations. Many realtors, like Mr. Buck (“Sparked by collapse of common sense” see pg. 7), and developers, want less regulation, which stands in the way of their business. Many, like myself, are concerned their business affects why we want to live here. The purpose of governmental processes like the critical area ordinance is to find a balance. There is common sense on both sides, not just one. HOWARD “HOWIE” ROSENFELD Friday Harbor
It’s easy to understand why the Common Sense Alliance (CSA) gets support. Most of us feel we have too many regulations. No question about it. But we need to ask: why are we plagued with so many rules and regulations everywhere we turn? Our laws are mostly based on protecting the majority from the minority that would take advantage. It’s particularly sad, in what is supposed to be a free country, to lose freedoms because of a few bad apples. That is our predicament. It was considered profound in the 1950s when the comic page character Pogo said, “We have met the enemy and it is us!” In land use, every prop-

in a written question. The threatening of John Bogert and Bob Jarman by lawyers from OPALCO never came up. It would be interesting to know what the reasons for intimidating them to be silent were. Was it because they are inherently untrustworthy people? Were they going to reveal things embarrassing to the board, or, were they going to reveal matters that are legitimately kept private such as financial negotiations. If so why wasn’t that reason stated? There have been comments that the board has used executive sessions, where the public is excluded, to excess. The proposed board regulation to prevent board members from talking about matters which haven’t been decided by the board is still another example of giving off the feeling that they have something to hide. Further confusing matters is that board regulation No. 1 is on OPALCO’S

ou may be aware that it was West Virginia’s Anna Jarvis who started Mother’s Day, as a memorial to her mother. What you may not know is that Jarvis later renounced the day as a “Hallmark Holiday” and reportedly said she regretted starting it. Fittingly, the day became popular after Jarvis talked John Wanamaker, the Philadelphia department store magnate, into making the second Sunday in May a special church service day at Philadelphia’s Bethany Presbyterian Church, a church Wanamaker founded. It’s now one of America’s most commercialized holidays, one of the biggest days of the year for telephone calls, for flower and greeting card sales, and for Mother’s Day brunches. It’s also supposedly the highest church attendance day after Christmas and Easter. It’s now observed around the world in many religions. In America and many Christian countries, worshipers celebrate the day with carnations - colored if the mother is living, white if she is not. Jarvis supposedly spent much of her inherited fortune fighting the commercialization of Mother’s Day, even being arrested in 1948 for disturbing the peace while protesting against the commercialization of the day she founded. While we certainty respect Jarvis’ purity of purpose, don’t let the commercialization of the holiday stop you from doing something special for the woman who will always love you most. And, if you’re in a pinch for a good idea, consider this: the Land Bank’s guided wildflower and natural history walks on Cady Mountain Preserve Mother’s Day weekend, Saturday and Sunday.

T
here have been a lot of interesting comments posted lately in the various news outlets about the idea that if your property is not in a current-use or other tax break program, you are paying more than your share. I would like to give a perspective that comes from the agricultural community point of view, and I know that many of the members of the Ag community and the community that buy and consume our products would speak from the same side of the fence. First off, my farm has been in the current-use farm and agriculture (CUFA) program since the early 1980s. We play by the rules and we provide the information requested by the assessor for monitoring and compliance with the state mandated program. We maintain several farm enterprises and grow several locally consumed crops. Our customers support us; we support them with nutritious, healthy produce and meats. We also support the community in many other areas that have been left out of the discussion. As a farm, we are blessed with good, fertile soil, clean, quality water and big interest in sustainability. We want the systems we work for. We want them to move on through time. We work our way through the seasons with a lot of effort, work and sweat. Some of this effort is creating conditions that allow us to harvest the sun, the basis of all agriculture. We like to think that this work is what pays our additional taxes and part of my feedback to you the reader, and fellow taxpayer, is this; a lot of the positive benefits and issues are being ignored. So, what do you get as a landowner in exchange for my taxes being somewhat lowered? Are your taxes so high that you need a scapegoat (pardon the pun)? Guess what, taxes are very low in San Juan County because we have one of the lowest tax rates amongst all the counties. Here are some of the hidden or not often thought

of benefits you do get: What about those pastoral fields, grazing livestock, orchards, field crops and a local food system? This is a kaleidoscope that follows the seasons. Is this not a geography of place that supports rural elements? This is a specific set of outcomes you get to live amongst and participate in. It does not happen in a vacuum, someone has to manage the land to get to it. You probably enjoy seeing it. You may even be a lucky consumer of a product that was grown on those very same lands. Without farmers and farmland you would not have these. You would live amongst houses. Your taxes would be even higher as it is well known that rural landscapes require less in services (i.e. taxes) than houses and sprawl. Clean water, clean air, and more importantly, in these days of the climate change debate, carbon sequestration are additional benefits you get. All the lands in agriculture and forest have a profound role to play in filtering rainwater and seasonal run-off while providing a massive but often hidden benefit. Their work load is built-in, cycling nutrients and carbon. Farms and forests when managed by humans properly, See FENCE, Page 8

he Common Sense Alliance was created in response to, what seemed like to us, complete disregard for the property owners. We stated to the San Juan County Council, “If there are tangible, logical reasons for the proposed very burdensome regulations, the public might accept them as necessary for the greater good.” Sam Buck We asked over and over again, “What are the problems?” We saw reams of big solutions created for undefined problems. None of us wanted to “get involved,” as we were all very busy with our lives. We saw an urgent need for someone, anyone, to step up and do something. None of us had anything personal to gain, we were just incensed that our governing body had such little regard for land owners, most (if not all) of whom love and appreciate nature. Additionally, there seemed to be literally no regard for the economic stability of our county, which definitely
Informed dissent should be embraced, even on the planning commission impacts school enrollment and other aspects of our quality of island life. The people leading our county actually said: “We are not required to consider the economic impacts,” when creating land use regulation. We reluctantly realized that we were the only people willing to step up to see if we could help bring some common sense into the picture. Are we radical “rape the land” evangelists? Clearly not. We are people who care enough about you, and this county, to meet almost every week for over five years. What is our dastardly deed? We are guilty of doing our best to bring to your attention the consequences of giving in to the radical, and very impactful, land use changes that so few of our citizens have yet to really grasp. Should such behavior disqualify all of us from serving on any public board? We have raised a very small amount of money, relative to the “Friends”
bankroll, to challenge the critical areas ordinance immorally imposed on us by the lame-duck San Juan County Council. The citizens rejected the direction they were taking us and they jammed it down our throats anyway. We simply want a CAO update based on peer-reviewed science that is proportional to any problems discovered, that allows for, and encourages, innovative solutions, and is balanced against (not driven by) the economic realities of our county. Such bad, bad, people indeed. There are some who are very annoyed that anyone would dare to stand in the way of their version of “saving the world.” It takes a tremendous commitment of time, energy and patience to be a member of the Planning Commission. I hope that most of you will agree that having some people on the planning commission that question, and bring into the light of day, positions that they deem to be unfounded, to be a very good thing. When government steals away the intended reasonable use and therefore the enjoyment of one’s land, government is stealing the dreams and savings born of a lifetime of hard work.

CO2. So do forests. We are talking giga-tons here. If we did not have those farms and trees found in our rural lands we would not be maintaining a bank of sequestration by keeping these lands open. Try putting a price on some of these items so often swept under the rug of anger and myopic outlooks. When you pay your taxes think beyond the property line, think out into the whole that makes up these islands we call home. There are folks who have no doubt taken advantage of the current tax deferment programs. Happily, those who did not play by the rules will have other options to consider. We don’t like working up a sweat for those types and it enrages us to think they would get the same break as we do without all the work. The folks that play by the rules, and this includes those in CUFA or designated forest land, are working hard to pay the community in services that few economists have attempted to quantify in dollars and cents. Eco-system services are what it is all about. Think about this when you next drive through one of the island agricultural vistas. Oh, and try the farmers markets, or your neighboring farm, for local food, eat closer to home. — Editor’s note: A certified conservation planner and 28-year resident of San Juan Island, Bruce Gregory is a member of the San Juan County Agricultural Resources Committee and Noxius Week Control Board.

orman Vincent Peale, author of “The Power of Positive Thinking” deserves credit for extolling the virtues of mind over matter. But when it comes to unmitigated, unbridled optimism, it’s Little Orphan Annie who truly wrote the book. The heart-warming story of the little girl who wins over the worldly and streetwise of New York City with her sunny disposition and soft-spot for a little lost dog takes center stage when San Juan Community Theatre reaches back into the history books and revives its first-ever musical production, “Annie” as part of its 25th anniversary celebration. The production, directed by Susan Williams, who played the role of Grace in the theatre’s 1989 production, features a cast of more than 30 islanders, a support crew of more than 40, a 15-piece orchestra, a costume-crew of 10, three choreographers, 10 so-called “kid wranglers” and a dog. Yes, one dog, who plays its role as Sandy to a tee. While the scenery promises to be much different than that of the theatre’s original production, and the orchestra much larger, the story and many of the costumes will be the same as presented in 1989. “I thought it would be really fun to go back to where we started,” Williams said. In addition to Williams, costume designer Anita Welch and Brad Welch, who’s in charge of set construction, were also involved in the ‘89 production. Anita played the role of Lilly St. Regis and Brad helped with building the ‘89 set. And then there’s supporting actor Bert Dayton, who 25 years later will revive his “floater” role, as one of the background performers and, more importantly, singers. “I do this because I love to sing,” said Dayton, who’s been part of more than 20 theatre musicals. “I love the process of the play and meeting all the new people.” Based on the comic strip character Little Orphan Annie, which debuted in the New York Daily News in 1924, Annie’s story unfolds in 1933 in New

An optimistic orphan living in a dreary orphanage ruled by the mean-spirited Miss Hannigan, masterfully portrayed by Penelope Haskew, Annie’s life takes a dramatic turn thanks to the intervention of sweet secretary Grace and the soft heart of billionaire Daddy Warbucks (Bo Turnage). The production features a host of familiar tunes, such as “Tomorrow,” “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile,” and “It’s a Hard Knock Life,” and a captivating performance by ElseDora Arendt in the lead role of Annie. Adding to the excitement of starring in the three-week run of performances, ElseDora will also celebrate her 10th birthday May 9, that’s on opening night.

The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To make a firewood complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx
