A proposed change in the county’s open-space farmland program would extend tax-break benefits from 10 to 20 years in order to allow more time for a farm of 20 or more acres to get back into the business of farming.
New twist for tax breaks? County Council to weigh extension of farmland program By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
The San Juan County Council has scheduled a public hearing on an ordinance to change farmland conservation rules so that current-use tax assessment benefits can be extended to more properties for longer periods of time. A public hearing to amend Section 16.50.265 of the San Juan County Code regarding farm and conservation land will be held May 20 on Orcas Island, at the Eastsound Fire Station, 45 Lavender Lane, beginning at
10:15 a.m. San Juan County Council Chairman Rick Hughes, a proponent of the change, says the 10-year limit on returning farmland to active agricultural production may not be reasonable because of the time it takes to return fallow farmland to profitable production, especially if estate planning on old family farms becomes an issue. Hughes said his main concern is for tracts of farmland more than 20 acres “that are actually used for farming.” He said that he is not trying to protect “hobby farms” and that “there are very rigorous procedures for getting into open space programs and staying in them.” Land used for farming can receive reduction of tax assessments below “fair market value” if the farmer meets certain crite-
ria for profitable farming under state law. “Current use farmland” tax assessment reductions are administered by the county assessor. These reductions are not time-limited, but if active farming ends, back taxes and penalties can be imposed. Land not used for actual farming for a period of time can receive reduced assessments from the county council if the owner meets certain criteria set by county law. It is this law that is the subject of the proposed new ordinance. Under current county law, the land must either be returned to active farming within 10 years or the owner must enter into a conservation easement permanently prohibiting development inconsistent with agricultural use. The proposed change would extend See BREAKS?, Page 4
Election season in San Juan County may not end up being a snoozer after all. Even though most candidates are unopposed and the county council has decided not to put any charter amendments on the ballot, races for sheriff and county clerk are likely to be hard-fought and local political parties are gearing up to challenge the “non-partisan” label. The election for sheriff may be contentious. Deputy Ron Krebs has filed to oppose Sheriff Rob Nou, who won election in 2010 with 66 percent of the vote. Usually, an i n c u mb e nt elected the first time with two- Deputy Ron Krebs thirds of the vote against opposition would not face much of an election contest. But recent departmental disciplinary and transparency matters may make Krebs’ challenge significant. And Krebs isn’t pulling any punches. On his Facebook page, he writes: “Our county deserves better than what you are getting.” As he did in 2010, Nou is expected to wage a vigorous, positive campaign, according to sources close to the incumbent candidate. At this writing, only four of 15 local races have competition. For county clerk, incumbent Joan White has drawn an opponent in District Court Clerk Nancy
2011 Special Award; Second Place: General Excellence from the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association
Vejvoda. In the race for county treasurer, two political newcomers and first-time candidates are seekSheriff Rob Nou ing to succeed retiring Treasurer Jan Sears. Rhonda Pederson, longtime county employee and now chief accountant for Auditor Milene Henley, is running against local banker Tony Fyrqvist. Both promise to run vigorous campaigns. Pederson has lived on San Juan See FIELD, Page 4

Islanders can now report noise from military jet aircraft on a new application on the San Juan County website. It’s proven to be popular, with 14 reports registered in less than 24 hours after the application went active in the afternoon of May 15. Visitors to the website can enter their own observations and access prior entries by clicking on the red dots on the map. In April, county councilmen Jamie Stephens and Bob Jarman led a contingent of islanders to Whidbey Island to talk with the Naval Air Station Whidbey commander about problems with noise from Navy jets flying over and near the San Juans. As a follow-up to comments by the commander, the council asked GIS Coordinator Nick Peihl to develop an easy-to-use application so anybody, citizen or visitor, can register having heard the noise of Navy jet exercises, and note any problems caused by it. Stephens said the Navy might benefit from information collected through the county website. “We totally support and appreciate the important role this base plays in this country’s defense,” he said. “Its commanders have told us they want to be good neighbors, and one thing that will help is having good information about how their operations are affecting us.” Town of Friday Harbor Administrator Duncan Wilson said

Naval Air Station Whidbey Island has become the source of complaints because of noise from its new fleet of so-called “Growler” fighter aircraft, like the one shown above.
that the town will put a link to the county app on its website. Wilson accompanied the group on its April outing to Whidbey. “The town is very appreciative of the work the county has done to put this reporting tool together,” he said. “This is not just a Lopez Island issue. The town residents have been significantly impacted by this new noise. We encourage all citizens to report when they hear noise so we can help the Navy pinpoint the problem activities and find mitigation measures.” Cynthia Dilling of Lopez thinks it’s about time the county joins the noise protest. “I hope everybody on Lopez and San Juan who is bothered by the unbearable noise reports every time it happens on the new website,” she said. Dilling and seven other Lopezians joined Whidbey islanders in Coupeville May 9 to protest the Navy’s touch-andgo training flights. Although the Navy cancelled scheduled exercises a couple of hours before the protest, Dilling
said the event was an emotional event. “People coming together to try to stand in the face of noise which makes their homes feel unlivable,” she said. “Several people said they’d move if they could - but they can’t afford to and now their homes are devalued because of the noise and may not even be sellable.” Two days before the May 9 cancellation, the Navy conducted unscheduled, unannounced touch-and-go exercises at OLF [Outlying Landing Field] Coupeville. Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve Chairman Michael Monson issued a news release in response: “This past Wednesday – the Navy flew unscheduled Growler FCLP’s [Field Carrier Landing Practices] at OLF and as a consequence flew right over young children playing T-ball at a park located near OLF. The game was cancelled because the children fell to the ground holding their ears.” Access the jet noise reporting application at, www.sjcgis.org/aircraftnoise-reporting.
Larsen backs ambassador for Arctic U.S. Congressman Rick Larsen, a Democrat, joined Republican Jim Sensenbrenner in sponsoring a bill that would establish a United State Ambassador at Large for Arctic Affairs. Larsen, known for prior “across the aisle” work with Alaska’s Don Young and other Republicans, represents the closest House district to the Arctic after Alaska’s Young. Rick Larsen He’s been active in Arctic issues and has sought funding for construction of a new heavy-duty icebreaker and rehabilitation of the mothballed Polar Sea, one of only two American heavyduty icebreakers. Responding to questions from the Journal, Larsen made the following statement: “Rep. Sensenbrenner approached me to co-sponsor this bill because he knew of my interest in the Arctic region. I appreciate

opportunities to work across the aisle on issues like this that are important to our national security, economic and environmental interests. I have led efforts to make sure the U.S. is equipped with icebreakers so our ships have safe passage through the Arctic, which is an increasingly important trade route. “I also believe our country needs to pay more attention to the environmental and security concerns that melting Arctic sea ice will create and an Arctic ambassador would better position us to do so.” The bill would elevate the U.S. delegation to the Arctic Council to ambassadorial rank before the U.S. assumes the chairmanship of the council, which consists of eight arcticbordering countries, including the U.S., Canada and Russia, and is the main forum for international negotiation and discussion of arctic issues, such as oil resource exploitation and all-season shipping routes. More than 20 U.S. government agencies are involved in arctic issues. — Steve Wehrly

Field: Continued from page 1 Island for 20 years. She worked at Haggen grocery, Geiser Escrow and 14 years for the auditor. Pederson cites that 14 years as the reason she “is the only reasonable choice for the position of treasurer - a position (she) feels she will transition into smoothly from the auditor’s office.” Fyrqvist maintains his 30 years of banking experience (23 years at the Friday Harbor branch of Islanders’ Bank) qualifies him to be the county’s banker. “I will put the customer service skills and efficiency I have learned in private industry to work to serve the public as the San Juan County treasurer,” he said.
Federal, state races
Rick Larsen has filed for an eighth term in Congress representing the 2nd Congressional District, which includes all of San Juan and Island counties and parts of Snohomish, Skagit and Whatcom. Larsen has had three tough campaign and four relatively easy ones, including 2012 when he won more than 60 percent of the vote against Republican Dan Matthews. As of press time, his only filed opponent is Mike Lapointe of Everett, whose political involvement has been with the liberal Rick Larsen Occupy movement. The only other contested race is for state representative, where incumbent Kristine Lytton of Anacortes is being

challenged by San Juan Island resident Daniel Miller, who ran an unsuccessful campaign for Friday Harbor Port Commissioner in 2013.
The unopposed
Although at least one local attorney reportedly considered opposing the re-election of Randy Gaylord for his sixth four-year term as county Prosecutor, it looks like Gaylord may run unopposed for another four years. “Serving as the public’s attorney has unique challenges which I enjoy,” said Gaylord in announcing his re-election bid. State Representative Jeff Morris is unopposed as he seeks a 10th twoyear term in the state House. Energy and telecommunications policy have been a major focus for Morris, who started in politics as an aide to former Randy Gaylord Congressman Al Swift and has held the Speaker Pro Tem position in the state House as well as several committee chairmanships. Other unopposed candidates are: John Kulseth for assessor, chief appraiser for retiring county Assessor Charles Zalmanek; Milene Henley, incumbent Auditor first elected in 2006; Stewart R. Andrew, incumbent Judge, District Court; and Jamie Stephens, incumbent County Councilman, Lopez residency district, elected countywide. Candidates have until May 18, to withdraw. The primary election is Aug. 5; the general election, Nov. 4.

The idea of combining the county auditor and county treasurer offices was resurrected May 13 by County Councilman Bob Jarman. “I know the idea has been considered before,” Jarman said. “I just want to find out whether the county might save money with such a change. We can leave it up to the voters to decide whether they want to do it.” Before the meeting, in memoranda to the council, Auditor Milene Henley expressed support for combining auditor and treasurer offices and personnel, and Treasurer Jan Sears expressed unequivocal opposition. Henley is running for reelection this year; Sears is retiring. Henley thinks combining the offices will save money - specifically, 1.5 full-time employees (the treasurer is the one). And she thinks the counter service for customers would be better. Her memorandum concludes, “I believe that operational efficiencies, enhanced customer service, and cost savings could all be gained by combining the auditor and treasurer offices under a single elected official.” Sears maintains otherwise. In her memorandum, Sears says, “I firmly believe that the two offices should be kept separate to insure the integrity of the offices. A system of checks and balances is critical. I do not agree that it could be handled by the auditor through technology … I don’t see how this is an issue of efficiency.” Sears concludes, “If this were a true and sincere attempt at restructure, the auditor would request a fair and open election for the new position. This appears to be a ‘power play’ by an unchallenged incumbent elected official.” The consolidation issue has been raised twice before. It was rejected by the Freeholders when the original Charter was proposed and by the Charter Review Committee when the charter was amended. Council Chairman Rick Hughes said he was open to considering the idea, but he wants the council to wait until after the November election, when the council could give the idea more time and attention. His colleagues on the council agreed. — Steve Wehrly
Breaks?:
Continued from page 1 the time limit for returning the land to active farming to 20 years. Other criteria must be satisfied before the council can grant the assessment benefit, including that the land in question must be “subdividable,” that is, the area of each subject property must be equal to or
greater than two times the maximum residential density of the underlying zoning district. The requirement that the land be subdividable would be eliminated by the proposed ordinance. The hearing notice provides that immediately after the public hearing, the council may consider the ordinance and any amendments, and “[t]he proposed Ordinance may then be adopted with or without modifications.”

Pedal power: state No. 1 with bike crowd Washington named nation’s ‘Most Bicycle-Friendly State’ again By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
No one at the Lopez Chamber of Commerce was surprised that Washington was named America’s “Most Bicycle-Friendly State” for the seventh year in a row by the League of American Bicyclists, especially after sponsoring what proved to be yet another boffo Tour de Lopez on Saturday, April 26. Akin to annual boat parades opening the summer boating season, the Lopez bike ride opens biking season in the San Juans. The non-competitive Tour around three different courses on Lopez is also a yearly introduction to Washington’s participation in the 58th annual National Bike Month. Organized for the 11th straight year by Becky Smith, the annual ride welcomed more than 800 riders who contributed more than $11,000 to defray the costs of operating Lopez Village Park. “What a great summer season kick-off,” Smith said. “Everybody had a great time and we’re all looking forward to the 12th Annual Tour next year.”
BLM to host ‘gatherings’ for input on monument The Bureau of Land Management is moving into its next steps of management for the San Juan Islands National Monument by crafting an interim management policy. The policy will provide guidance to inform activities over the next couple of years, while the process of resource management planning is under way. The BLM will host a series of gatherings to enlist public participation and input in helping to draft the interim policy, beginning May 27, at the Lopez Community Center, 6-9 p.m., followed by a May 28 gathering at the Grange Hall in Friday Harbor (6-9 p.m.), and May 29 at the Eastsound Firehall on Orcas Island (6-9 p.m.). BLM Spokane District Manager Daniel Picard will join Chris Carlton, district planner, Anjolene Price, planning assistant, and monument employees Nick Teague and Marcia deChadenèdes in hosting
the gatherings. Time will be allotted for group and personal discussion, and a children’s activity table will be offered so that parents have opportunity to participate as well. While some comments may prove useful for development of the interim policy, others may have a more long-term view and will be retained as scoping comments for the resource management planning process. All comments will be recorded into the public record and assist in weights and measures of daily decisions for the resources and community interest, according to the BLM. A draft of the interim policy is available online at the San Juan Islands National Monument website. Paper copies are available by contacting the monument office, (360) 468-3754, or by emailing deChadenèdes, mdechade@blm.gov. Feedback about the policy is requested by June 20.

After another successful island ride introduced Washington Bike Month so appropriately, the Lopez Chamber’s Lia Noreen said, “We think Lopez and the San Juan Islands are a big reason the state’s been honored seven years in a row, and we’re happy it came just a few days after our successful event.” Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed the May Bike Month proclamation and lauded the benefits of biking and the bike-friendly award. “As a bike rider I get to see firsthand all that Washington has done to make bicycling part of a sustainable transportation system,” Inslee said. “Bicycling helps make healthy communities, healthy people and a rich quality of life. There’s always more to do, but being named the most bikefriendly state shows we are moving on the right path.” The League of American Bicyclists annually ranks all 50 states on how “bikeable” they are. The League evaluates each state’s cycling in several categories: legislation and enforcement; policies and programs; infrastructure and funding; education and encouragement; and evaluation and planning. “Being an avid bicyclist, I’ve had an opportunity to explore Washington’s urban and rural roadways this past year,” Washington Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson said. “We’ll continue to work with our local partners to identify and fund bicycle needs in their areas, especially

IT’S ELECTRIFYING! Index of Fun Facts: BPA Planned Power Outage May 9, 2014 THANK YOU to the OPALCO operations and engineering staff who brought us through this mandatory Bonneville Power Administration county-wide outage! For most of us, this was a smooth and seamless operation. Thanks, also, to the handful of co-op members who were out of power a little longer. This rare transmission outage event gave us the opportunity to really test our system and we found a few weak links. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we addressed those issues; we all benefit from a stronger, more reliable system as a result! PREPARATIONS: • 6 weeks to plan the county-wide outage event • 9 regional meetings to work out the logistics • 42 hours of labor (General Foreman-3, Line Foreman-3, Engineer) on May 8th to prepare for the May 9th outage THE OUTAGE EVENT: • 16 OPALCO personnel working (Lineman-13, General Foreman-2, Dispatcher) • 15 BPA personnel (Lopez-2, Fidalgo Substation-10, Custer Substation-2, Vancouver, WA-1 ) • 96 OPALCO crew hours in the field (13 crew x 6 hours) doing maintenance and repair work RESULTS ON OPALCO’S SYSTEM: • 12 transmission poles cleaned and inspected • 7 miles of transmission line examined, maintained and tested • 6 transmission poles re-built with new insulators • 5 high-voltage switches cleaned and tested • 4 new distribution switches installed and tested • 1 hazardous tree trimmed • 14,000 (approximately) members out of power • 5 devices (out of 1,200+ total) failed upon restoraton of power (Lopez-2, San Juan-3) • 6,000 (approximate total) members restored by 6:15 am • 9,000 (approximate total) members restored by 6:30 am • 12,000 (approximate total) members restored by 7:00 am. Note: After 7:00 am, only Friday Harbor substation remained down, in part due to high system start-up loads. • All but 70 members restored by 8:00 am. This restoration delay was in part due to high system loads that needed to be managed to prevent a low voltage condition for the entire Island. • 18 hours of continuous work by 2 members of our Lopez Crew (Tim Savage and Kai Burleson), who worked from 11:00 pm May 8th until 5:00 PM May 9th – staying on duty to restore power to 44 members on Lopez. All other crews were released at 10:00 am May 9th.

OPINION Letters to the Editor
Discretion deficit, shame on Journal
Public disagreement and personal opinion are at the very heart of any democracy. Personal attacks and defamation are not. It is unacceptable for the Journal to publish letters (“Distracted? Driver may be to blame,” May 14, pg. 6), that are gratuitous and crude ad hominem slurs such as the one directed at Mr. Barnes and his comments regarding those who share the roads of our island. The writer of the reply to his low-keyed concern can feel anything she wants. That is her privilege. However, there is editorial discretion that needs to be applied when the tone and content verge on libel. This is far from the first time that editorial oversight has been lacking in the Journal and further undermines its credibility. We need responsible public discourse, not this continued descent into the gutter. Shame on you! MARK FISHAUT Friday Harbor
Big ‘Bravo!’ about ‘Annie,’ cast & all
As I stood with the audience, while giving a standing ovation to the cast of Annie, I was struck by the thought of what a wonderful community we live in. Obviously the cast put their heart and soul into the performance; but, what also deserves recognition are
the dozens of people who work countless hours quietly, and efficiently behind the scenes. The music, the sets, the choreography, theater volunteers, dog trainer, plus all the parents who supported and transported those children late at night deserve a big round of applause. You were all superb. Thank you for bringing joy to the island. It’s amazing what this community is capable of when we work cooperatively for the common good. MIKE BUETTELL San Juan Island
Take 2: at risk by distracted joggers
Dear motorists, pedestrians, et. al; Okay, so I was still upset over what I considered a near miss of a human being by a vehicle when I penned my first letter. So, I was reacting and not being as clear as I wanted. Here’s a second—and last—attempt to make a few points. I was not speeding nor distracted by a cell phone (I don’t own one) nor by another in the car (I was alone), nor by my car’s sound system (it’s broken), nor by the attributes of the joggers; I didn’t see them until… I nearly hit someone. So, all you motorists who do drive with distractions, please pay attention, be aware and stay alert. Now, all of you on the road jogging, running, walking, skipping, bicycling, etc., please do not dress like ninjas. I realize black is fashion, but perhaps wear

‘Johnny still can’t read?’ Here’s why
Shortly after the Russians launched “Sputnik” in October of 1957, and thereby delivered a hard blow to America’s hugely inflated image of its global superiority in all things, we were treated to a loud series of lamentations over the state of our system of education. We were supposed to work ourselves into a huge emotional lather over the fact that “Johnny Can’t Read”. Solemn vows were taken
to repair what was wrong with our schools. Money gushed from the faucets of Washington D.C. in a desperate quest to close the great gap in learning that was supposed to exist between America and its threatening adversary in Moscow. Fifty-seven years later, and despite trillions of dollars in state and federal expenditure on our institutions of education, we’re informed that our high school students are most definitely not where they should be in the core subjects of reading, math and science. The picture is an overwhelmingly discouraging one. Even as more and more cash gets thrown into the teaching and learning apparatus of this county, the actual results continue to be far less than they should be. “Johnny,” it seems, “still can’t read”. Our movers and shakers simply do not want to admit

Paying tribute to the fallen
New rules would limit local harvest; state should do its homework first
O
n March 23, 2003, Sgt. Michael Bitz was killed when he and other Marines were attacked by Iraqi soldiers that had pretended to surrender. On that day, Sgt. Bitz, the son and grandson of San Juan islanders, joined the revered yet solemn ranks of those we honor on Memorial Day by paying the ultimate sacrifice in defense of his country, now more than a decade ago. Though his death is unquestionably singular in its impact on family, friends and loved ones, Sgt. Bitz is far from alone. Since 1776, from the American Revolution to Vietnam and the war in Iraq, almost 1.5 million Americans have died on the battlefield. Many of those soldiers, like Sgt. Bitz, had close ties to the San Juan Islands. In fact, at the base of Memorial Park in Friday Harbor is a monument, the first erected in Washington state to pay tribute to those who died in World War I, are engraved the names of nine sons of the San Juans who died while serving their country in the so-called “War to End All Wars.” They may have disagreed on the necessity of war, but they went—willing to sacrifice their comforts and lives for the nation’s cause. While the necessity of war may be debated, and should be, we can’t question the dedication and devotion of those who serve—and die—in the name of the United States. Their service above self is what we remember each Memorial Day, and always.
For the Record n Longtime APS supporter Dodie Gann passed away in December 2012. An article in the May 14 Journal, “APS Fundraiser pays tribute to Gann,” pg. 11, stated incorrectly that Gann died in December 2013. n

Smelt need safeguards, but these? By Randy O'Bryant & Tina Whitman Special to the Journal
L
ocal smelt fishermen, researchers and concerned residents are working together to urge the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to invest in essential research into the status of surf smelt stocks and to protect spawning beaches. This spring, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) set out a proposed rule change that could change recreational and commercial harvest of surf smelt. Surf smelt, small schooling fish, provide important food for a wide variety of animals, including seabirds, fish and marine mammals. After hearing concerns about conflicting uses down-Sound from shoreline property owners and commercial and recreational Contributed photo / FOSJ fishers, WDFW proposed three Tina Whitman, smelt options to change harvest regulaeggs in hand. tions for surf smelt, including full closure of commercial harvest and reduction in recreational harvest. We appreciate WDFW’s attention to protecting surf smelt, but the agency needs to take two other steps in conjunction with any proposed changes to harvest rules. First, we need to learn just how many smelt swim in the
Salish Sea, and whether current harvests threaten those fish. WDFW completed the most recent smelt stock assessment back in the mid1990s, when it concluded that 1 percent of the smelt were being harvested. In the absence of updated fish population data, it is difficult to evaluate the three alternatives Contributed photo proposed by the rule change. Randy O’Bryant In addition, the proposed rules risk eliminating one of the few remaining long-term fishing traditions in San Juan County, and further disconnecting us from the natural environment. Instead, we encourage the Fish and Wildlife Commission to direct the WDFW to devote the necessary resources to assessing surf smelt populations and trends in San Juan County and throughout the Salish Sea. Second, we encourage WDFW to improve its protection of spawning habitat. If ongoing shoreline modifications such as hard rock bulkheads continue to be allowed at known spawning beaches, it will undermine any efforts to safeguard the stock using harvest limitations or fishing restrictions. By protecting spawning sites, WDFW can help ensure the health of the fishery at this most critical stage. The public is welcome to comment on this issue through May 30, at wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulations/smelt. — Editor’s note: Randy O’Bryant is a commercial smelt fisherman on Lopez Island. Tina Whitman is a forage fish researcher and science director at Friends of the San Juans.
As I See It
Holes in campaign of misinformation By David Dehlendorf Special to the Journal
T
he recent exchange of letters by Sam Buck and Howie Rosenfeld in local media, including the Journal, continues the tradition of misinformation perpetrated by the Common Sense Alliance (CSA) and its supporters over the last several years. Their intention is to mislead the public when discussing our county’s update of its existing critical areas ordinance regulations (CAO) as required by state law. Specifically: 1) It is not Journal file photo true, as claimed David Dehlendorf by Buck, that one needs permission (i.e. a county land-use permit) to place a garden on his/her property. In fact, according to the Community Development & Planning Department, one does not need a permit, although one does need to meet certain self-verified conditions if you choose to put a garden or orchard within a critical areas buffer. There are no such conditions, and still no permit, if the garden or orchard will not be within a buffer. 2) It is not true, as Mr. Buck implies, that the pending critical areas ordinance update process was responsible
Critics of CAO short on facts, playing loose with reality for the weak real estate market in San Juan County over the last several years. In fact, the cause was the collapse of U.S. financial markets and its consequent severe negative impact on the national and local economy and real estate market. In other words, our CAO update did not cause the collapse of the U.S. economy, as self-important as we may feel. 3) It is not true, as stated by Buck, that the CSA has “raised a very small amount of money relative to the Friends of the San Juans bankroll” to challenge the CAO update. In fact, the CSA has raised and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal expenses to oppose the CAO, primarily on a high-priced Seattle attorney ($300 per hour?). In contrast, Friends has not spent one cent on outside legal counsel, instead using its one local in-house attorney whose salary is a fraction of a Seattle attorney. (Buy local!) Moreover, the CSA’s official legal expenses do not include pro bono legal support from the Pacific Legal Foundation, a right wing property rights group whose HQ is in California. 4) Buck states that none of the CSA board members “had anything per-
sonal to gain” by serving on its board and opposing the CAO. As the CSA board membership includes the co-owner of the largest real estate firm in our county, a second realtor, the largest contractor on San Juan Island, and the executive director of the San Juan Builders Association, this claim stretches the limits of credibility. Over the last several years there have been all kinds of wild statements by the CSA and its supporters claiming, among other things, that because of the CAO update process, some property owners would not be able to build on their properties, that their dreams were being taken away from them, that they would not be able to obtain mortgage financing of a nonconforming property, etc. What’s illuminating is that none of these claims, unless I missed a specific article or letter to the editor, was personally made by a property owner, or prospective owner, who was allegedly so affected. In other words, not one of these claims has been proven true by direct personal testimony. So the public should continue to consider these claims to be nothing more than rural legends until selfidentified property owners start coming forward to certify the validity of these claims. — Editor’s note: Read Sam Buck’s commentary on the Common Sense Alliance in the May 7 edition of the Journal, pg. 7, or online at www. sanjuanjournal.com.

students thanks to United Way
United Way of San Juan County is an amazing organization that supports many needed programs on our islands. Primary Intervention Program (PIP), also known as the Special Pal Program, is one of the programs supported by United Way. This program is based out of Friday Harbor Elementary School and is designed to help each student have the most successful learning experience possible. PIP staff and trained volunteers help students in the primary grades make an easier adjustment to school, get along better with others, and improve self-confidence. So far this year, over 50 students have participated in the program. This school program would not be possible without the significant financial support from United Way. During a time when state funding for education and other services has been inconsistent, United Way has stepped in to save many essential and deserving programs. I encourage the community to continue its support of United Way. Thank You. AMARA ZEE PIP Coordinator DIANE BALL FHES Principal

Rainer Eberhard: 1935—2014 Rainer Eberhard passed away peacefully on May 10, 2014 with his wife by his side. He was born in Beijing, China in 1935 to Wolfram and Alide Eberhard where his father was doing post-doctoral work in Chinese History and Culture. Rainer grew up in Ankara, Turkey speaking German and some Turkish. It was in Turkey, that he developed his love of the water, spending summers on the island of Kinaliada, swimming and dreaming of having a boat bigger than a row boat. In 1948, the family emigrated to the U.S., settling in Berkeley, Calif. As a teenager, not speaking English, it was important for Rainer to fit in and become an American. Scouting and the Theta Pi youth group of the Methodist Youth Fellowship provided that opportunity, made him feel welcome and created lifelong friendships. Rainer graduated from Berkeley High School, then attended Cal Berkeley for a short time before volunteering for the Army. He didn’t quite see the world, as he was stationed in Monterey and Las Vegas, as a motor pool mechanic. However, these posts resulted in a job as the driver for the Turkish delegation to a U.N. meeting in San Francisco and sent him to the nuclear test site in Nevada, where he was a ground zero observer to numerous above ground nuclear tests. He attended the University of California at Riverside, receiving a bachelors degree in mathematics. There he met his first wife Jeannette, the mother of his three children, Eric, Martin, and Karl.
His first job was for U.S. Steel Corporation in the new field of data processing. This started a 40-year career in programming, technical support, consulting and software development for large and small companies, with assignments taking him all over the world, including Brazil, Taiwan, Venezuela, Rainer Eberhard Argentina, and the Virgin Islands. The last 16 years of his career were with IBM, in San Jose, Calif., working on IBM’s DB2 data base. Through his work in computers he met and married his second wife, Susan. His love of boating and the sea continued throughout his life. In Berkeley, he had his first boat, a 1910 wooden Captain’s gig that he and his family used for salmon fishing, as well as for volunteering with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, participating in on-the-water rescues, safety patrols and boater education. His next two boats were Grand Banks Trawlers, used again for Auxiliary work, as well as for cruising in the San Francisco Bay area and Sacramento Delta. Upon retirement in 2000, Rainer and his wife moved to the San Juan Islands, fulfilling another dream of Rainier’s, to have a home on the water as well as a
Wednesday, May 21, 2014 — 9
dream of going under the Golden Gate bridge, turning right and cruising up the coast to Puget Sound. This started a special time in his life of boating and cruising. His dream boat, a custom Rozema aluminum trawler, became his final boat, providing many years of joy, as he and Susan cruised five wonderful summers to Alaska. Rainer was always a hands-on person, whether he was keeping the boat running, fixing things around the house, fixing cars, working on his Model A, building canoes, or keeping his many antique clocks running. He could fix or repair just about anything and passed this ability on to his sons. He found the perfect life on San Juan Island, boating and being on the water, discovering new places with the Friday Walkers, and never tiring of living by the sea, with a view of the Olympic Mountains. In Friday Harbor, Rainer was active in the Friday Harbor Sailing Club and the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Susan, brother Anatol (Carolyn), sons Eric (Cheryl), Martin (Carolyn) and children, Brian and Katy, and Karl (Karin) and children Lyn and Josh. Donations may be made in Rainer’s name to the Alzheimer’s Association or to Friends of the San Juans. — Family of Rainier Eberhard

The band finished their sound check and prepared to play their first note when the lights went out. Some bands might have picked up their amps and headed for the door, but not Polecat. They lit some candles and played an acoustic set as Lopezians danced in the shadowy light of the Galley. As the guitars were plucked, the lightning struck outside, illuminating the ocean and casting a bluish-white light on the musicians. “Whenever we come to the islands it is a different vibe,” said Jeremy Elliott, songwriter and guitarist in Polecat, recalling a past show on Lopez. “Everyone there is ready to go with whatever happens and raging the whole time. It’s a breath of fresh air … just to “When we have a have a party and have a good group of people time and have good energy.” soaking it up… Polecat is playing at the Rumor Mill, Friday, May 23 that’s the biggest at 8:30 p.m. payoff.”— Jeremy Elliott Formed in March 2010, the group is based out of Bellingham, Wash. and has been making a name for itself throughout the Northwest for its expressive roots tracks and explosive live shows. Elliott describes the band’s sound as “stomp-grass, world, Americana” with intense, complicated rhythms, and infusions of funk, soul, reggae and Celtic tunes. These infusions are what has set Polecat apart from the more traditional string and bluegrass bands, which have seen a recent growth in popularity. With instruments like an electric guitar, 12-string guitar, fiddle, upright bass and vocals, Polecat is able to explore different genres and each member has his/her own diverse background to add flavor to the music. “We have a lot of fun, but we also take it very seriously, in

regard to our music—our instruments in our hands,” Elliott said. “My connection with my guitar will never match anything else. It has been great being able to pursue a career where my guitar is feeding me, giving me life physically and mentally.” The five bandmates have a diverse background in everything from African beats to classical Indian music to jazz and orchestral. They also try to mix up the sounds streaming through their own brains, listening to everything from Phish to Bill Monroe to Britney Spears to Dr. Dre. And it shows on stage when they make well-known covers like “The Land Down Under” by Men at Work into their own work of art. What they all have in common, according to Elliott, is a love for the mysterious and powerful language that is music and having that unique “conversation” with an audience. “I think there is a connection when you are having a conversation with someone speaking the same language – a rhythm, cadence and tone of voice that makes it pleasing,” Elliott said. “Music is a form of communication where there is rhythm in time, in tones and a lot of the time we are playing to complete strangers but they are connected to our type of music and understand that we are pouring ourselves out in the most intimate way.” When that connection happens, Elliott said you access a deeper form of communication – something you don’t just hear but feel. “When we have a group of people soaking it up… that’s the biggest pay off, we could not ask for more than having a lot of fun,” Elliott said.

n May 22, 2004, “Interaction,” a contemporary Coast Salish sculpture by Native artist Susan A. Point (b. 1952), was unveiled at the Port of Friday Harbor’s Fairweather Park on San Juan Island. The monumental carved and painted cedarhouse-post sculpture was the first public acknowledgement of the island’s tribal heritage and represented a healing chapter in local history. House posts were located inside longhouses and told the stories of the owners of the house; similarly Interaction tells the story of the San Juan Islands and how islanders care for their environment. By the time of the unveiling, what had started as the desire of a small group of islanders—the Portals of Welcome Committee—to bring art by a world-renowned artist to the islands had blossomed into a bridge connecting the island’s cultural and environmental past, present, and future. Local residents, businesses, tribal members, the Town of Friday Harbor, the Port of Friday Harbor, Ravenhill Construction, Soroptomists and Rotarians all donated cash or in-kind services to bring the project to fruition, and a crowd of more than 200 gathered for the unveiling. Island Story, Island Treasure
From the time of its unveiling, Interaction has become a gathering place for islanders and visitors—especially children, awed by the sculpture’s size, engaging motif, and deep, colorful carvings. Because children are drawn to touching the cougar scratches on the woman’s leg, over the years the paint and wood has been worn down in this area and other places where they have been loved and climbed upon. Interaction, which cost $65,000 in 2004, is now estimated to be worth $400,000, due to artist Susan Point’s growing stature. Members of the original Portals of Welcome Committee are raising funds to have the house posts professionally restored and repainted by a team of artists from Susan’s studio and have a community/tribal celebration upon the completion, the group is soliciting funds. Questions: Linda@sjihome.com. Funds are also being raised for the Writing Our History Project: a collaboration between San Juan County history writers and local tribes; local historical museums and libraries; the San Juan County National Historical Park, the Town of Friday Harbor and HistoryLink.org. Their goal is to produce accurate, well-written and widely accessible essays on the Coast Salish in the islands as well as other important but yet undocumented local history for publication on HistoryLink.org.

What’s cookin’? ‘In Season’ revived Atkinson back in FH for book-signing party, June 1, hosted by Brickworks
Down Sound where quality places to dine are many, Bainbridge Island’s newly established Restaurant Marché is winning accolades, thanks in large part to the culinary expertise and innovations of none other than Seattle chef Greg Atkinson. (Marché was named No. 7 in Seattle Weekly’s review of Seattle’s Top 10 New Restaurants in 2012) If the name Greg Atkinson sounds somewhat familiar, well, it should. He pretty much got his start in the culinary field on San Juan Island (the Journal regularly published guest columns by Atkinson in the 1990s). Oh yeah, he’s an author, too. Atkinson will be headed back to San Juan Island for a homecoming, of sorts, as well as for a book-signing party celebrating his recently re-released and re-issued memoir, “Greg Atkinson’s In Season: Culinary Adventures of a Pacific Northwest Chef ” (Sasquatch Books, March 2014; $22.95).

Featured prominently in the new edition is stunning color photography by Charity Burggraaf. In the memoir, Atkinson describes a deep appreciation for local ingredients, the passage of the seasons, the joys of young family life, and, of course, simple and gratifying meals. Originally published in 1997, “In Season” touts the concept and delights of eating seasonally, which at that point, was somewhat ahead of its time. In an excerpt, Atkinson writes, “while the intervening years have been rich and productive, no period in this writer’s life has been quite as meaningful or as magical as that time was. I was developing my skills as a chef, learning to be a husband, father, neighbor, and citizen in a small town. And like my take on everything then, my youthful perspectives on many of the ingredients and combinations were fresh, unclouded by overlaying years.” Tickets for the event, Hosted by Brickworks, 150 Nichols St., Sunday, June 1, 5-7 p.m., are $50, appetizers and wine included, and are available for purchase at The Market Chef and Griffin Bay Bookstore.

History, heritage unveiled NPS opens American Camp Officers’ Quarters for first time as part of two-day tribute to island pioneers San Juan Island National Historical Park, San Juan Island Library and San Juan Historical Society have joined forces to celebrate the pioneer heritage of American Camp with a Fireside Program and Historical Structures Tour of American Camp’s Officers’ Quarters and the other structures associated with it at American Camp, May 30-31. In an evening program at the library, Friday, May 30, beginning at 7 p.m., the spotlight will shine on families who played a major role in the settlement of San Juan Island, as well as conserving historic structures such as the Officers’ Quarters (the old McRae house), which was built by the U.S. Army in 1856 and moved to San Juan Island during the Pig War crisis. Following the joint military occupation of the island, the building remained in place, as a farm house, to several families, but primarily the Firth, Firth/LaChappelle and McRae families. The Rosler family had holdings adjacent to the camps and helped farm the lands in later years. Other island families, such as the Nashes, are descended from American Camp soldiers. On Saturday, May 31, from noon to 3 p.m., the National Historical Park will for first time in its history open the interior of the Officers’ Quarters to the public, as well
as the old Brown house (moved to the park in December 2010), the Laundress Quarters and offer guided tours of the redoubt. The events are held in conjunction with “History Lives Here,” a month-long celebration of history throughout San Juan County. The park also will also be commemorating the start of restoration of the interior of the Officers’ Quarters (the McRae house, also known officially as Historic Structure 11); restoration work is slated to begin sometime this year. The fireside program at the library will be preceded by a brief Power Point program outlining the history of the buildings and families at American Camp. The park will then turn the program over to islanders to share family stories and personal experiences with the house and surrounding lands, including the beaches and bluffs. The discussion will be moderated by park historian Mike Vouri, but all San Juan islanders are invited to share family stories associated with the site. American Camp and its counterpart on the northern end of the island, English Camp, were created as a result of the Pig War, the military/naval standoff in 1859 between the United States and Great Britain that lasted several months after an American shot a pig belonging to the Hudson’s Bay Company.

Eventually both nations agreed to a joint military occupation of the island by the American soldiers and the British Royal Marines, which over its 12-year duration created a mostly stable environment that invited settlement by citizens of both nations. The fact that the islands were in dispute did not dissuade these pioneers from staking claims among the island’s frigid waters, dark forests, rocky bights, and wind-swept prairies. From 1860 to 1870, the civilian population on San Juan jumped from 73 to 457, hardly spectacular by later standards, but significant for a 54-square-mile island
on the pale of settlement. The very idea of a national park on San Juan Island is largely due to these settlers and the native peoples who preceded them.

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
