Program debut marked by ‘demo’ FH hosts first-ever boat ‘Turn-In’ demolition By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

One of five San Juan Center graduates, Regina Penwell receives a handshake and associate’s degree from Skagit Valley College President Thomas Denker at the college’s 2014 commencement ceremony June 18, at San Juan Center.
Each course on its own Road less traveled leads to degree for five SVC graduates
By Scott Rasmussen Journal Editor
Life would “truly” begin once she had a college degree in hand. That’s what Catalina Kohring used to believe. But over the course of a 30-month odyssey through Skagit Valley College’s halls of academia, she realized life wasn’t on hold, that it was happening all around her, all the time, and that those who say the only predictable thing about life is its unpredictability appear to know what they’re talking about. Bound for a four-year univer-
sity in the fall, associates’ degree in tow, life is destined to change for the Class Speaker of the 2014 San Juan Center’s commencement ceremony, but Khoring, in pursuit of a master’s degree early childhood education, won’t be waiting for a start to the good ol’ days. They’ve been with her all the time. “The good news is that we’re in the good ol’ days right now.” Khoring assured her fellow graduates and assembly of family, friends, faculty, college officials gathered for the June 18 celebration. The curtain dropped on San Juan Island’s graduation season with the commencement ceremony at San Juan Center. Though small in number, Skagit Valley College President Dr. Thomas Keegan noted the graduating class, five in all, are
“rich in background and in diversity.” As such, he said they embody the diversity and complexity of the college’s greater student body, with more than 9,000 students attending classes in this most recent academic year. Those students represent all walks of life, age and ethnicity, Keegan added. San Juan Island’s Wilson Schubert and Kohring, of Lopez, are the youngest of the class. Regina Penwell, who earned an associates degree in accounting, graduating with honors, and Cady Davies, at 57, represent the other end of the spectrum of lifelong learning, while Maia Yip has a place in between the bookends of her classmates. What they all now hopefully share, according to Jennifer Brennock, selected to deliver the See OWN, Page 4
A new twist to a long-standing state pollution prevention program made a hearty debut last week on the waterfront of Friday Harbor. By all accounts, it proved a smashing success. Ken Norris wasn’t going stick around to witness the lift-off from start to finish, however, because for him, the launch of the derelict vessel removal program’s newest feature, the “turnin” option, signaled a most bittersweet goodbye. “It’s a mixed blessing to have the state take care of it for me,” Norris said of the fate of the 28-foot wooden boat that for the better part of 20 years had been homesweet-home and the embodiment of a cherished dream. His means to maintain the boat slipped away in the fallout from a severe leg injury several years ago and, ultimately, orders by his doctor to abandon ship. “I couldn’t have done it any other way,” he said. Managed by the Washington Department of Natural Resources, in partnership with local government entities, like counties, cities and publicly owned port districts, the Derelict Vessel Removal Program has had its own share of ups and downs since it was first founded in 2002. In San Juan County, for example, the program collapsed when budget-wary county officials opted against setting aside $10,000 or so—the local “match” required by DNR for removal and demolition costs—in the wake of the recent economic recession.
2011 Special Award; Second Place: General Excellence from the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association
Under the program, the state, through DNR, covers 90 percent of the cost associated with removal, transport, demolition and disposal of boats, and docks and floats, that have fallen into disrepair and that have either been abandoned or are in imminent threat of sinking. Dozens of boats in local waters had been identified as “derelict” and candidates for removal at that time. Then, about three years ago, San Juan Island’s Marc Forlenza, as then-commander of the Friday Harbor Power Squadron, raised $6,500 from boaters and other private sources as a would-be part of the matching fund, which former local program coordinator and Public Works employee Joanruth See ‘DEMO’, Page 4

The Key to Prevention
hen domestic violence is in the news, it’s usually after the worst has happened: a violent assault, an injured child, a murder. So it’s no surprise that when we think about domestic violence interventions we think about police, courts, and hospitals. But what about the role each of us can play? Many of us have either experienced abuse in our own relationships or know someone who has. And often we don’t know what to do about it. Fortunately, in this community, and in every community across Washington State, there is a local domestic violence program: a place where anyone can call—privately and at no cost—to talk with someone about concerns, options, and safety. You don’t have to be the person experiencing abuse to call. Advocates are there to talk with friends and family, neighbors and c ow o r k e r s — a ny o n e — about how to be supportive if someone turns to you for help. But what if we didn’t have to wait until things were awful to intervene? What if we could stop this violence before it started? Domestic violence is preventable and talking with people of all ages about relationships is a key part of prevention. No one is too young or too old to think about what a healthy relationship looks and feels like. It’s never too early, and it’s never too late, to talk about how we deserve to be treated. Conversations build expectations, and talking with our loved ones lets us in on what they’re going through. Imagine how much easier it would be for our friends to turn to us for help if talking about our relationships was something we already did. To find the domestic violence program in your community, visit wscadv. org or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or 1-800787-3224 (TTY). To raise money and awareness for domestic violence prevention, register today for the Refuse To Abuse® 5K at Safeco Field at refusetoabuse5k.org.

Network selects seven for ‘Finee’ stewardship award Embracing the spirit of, “The more, the merrier,” the Stewardship Network of the San Juans will honor seven individuals and organizations this year with its annual “Good Steward” award. The Good Steward award, embodied by the coveted “Finee,” a glazed ceramic salmon made by Crow Valley Pottery, is bestowed upon deserving islanders and local businesses in recognition of exceptional efforts in environmental stewardship. This year’s seven award winners, listed below, will be honored and receive a “Finee”at the annual Orcas Island Solstice Celebration, June 21, in Eastsound. The Stewardship Network, a coalition of private and public organizations supporting a healthy, thriving ecosystem in the San Juan Archipelago, has honored individuals, families, teachers, students and businesses that demonstrate an ethic of natural resource conservation since 2008. The 2014 Good Steward award winners: Youth Stewardship: Zach Kostechko, a senior at Orcas High School, contributed 66 volunteer hours serving with the Orcas Youth Conservation Corps in summer of 2013. He also served as a volunteer cadet for the Orcas Island Fire Department and helped plan and install a demonstration rain garden in front of Ray’s Pharmacy. Educator Stewardship: San Juan Island’s Debbie Taylor teaches 6th grade math and science at Friday Harbor Elementary School. Through multi-media technology and dynamic learning experiences, she motivates students to develop skills that encourage creative thinking while becoming responsible and respectful global citizens. Farmland Stewardship: Christine Langley of Lopez Island, a sustainable organic farmer for more than 15 years, controls diseases and pests organically, rotates her crops, uses drip irrigation and rain water for irrigation, utilizes solar energy for chicken fences and keeps bees to help pollinate her crops. She is always ready to educate farmers and friends interested in sustainable farming. Individual Stewardship: Chuck O’Clair of San Juan Island has been an animalcare volunteer at Wolf Hollow

He also volunteers countless hours to various organizations, including beached-bird surveys for COASST, data collection for Three Meadows Marsh and Christmas bird trumpeter swan counts for Audubon each winter. Woodland Stewardship: Orcas Island’s Ken and Marcia Culver and family donated a 24-acre shoreline forest preserve to San Juan Preservation Trust in 2013. The property has been in the family for six generations, and the Culvers are working with neighbors to place a conservation easement on 60 additional, adjoining acres. Business Stewardship: Deer Harbor Charters coowners Tom and Nate Averna have run their charter business for over 30 years. The father and son team were chosen for their generous donation of time

rection. With Forlenza now at the helm, and a $325,000 grant from Puget Sound Partnership in tow, it has become a model for state and Forlenza works with other communities to help shore up and keep their own programs afloat and adequately funded. Still, the “Turn In Option” adds a new wrinkle and incentive to the program. It’s designed to take boats of 45 feet or less, which have fallen into disrepair, off the hands of Washington residents who lack the financial resources to repair and maintain them. Forlenza intends to make sure that the San Juans gets its share and local businesses have a chance to benefit before the funding set aside by the state dries up. And, he noted, that the cost to demolish, tow and dispose of Norris’ 1969 Owens-built boat proved less expensive by having it done by a team of local contractors than it would have had a large regional company, a specialist in the field, taken the project on. “It’s not all about keeping

The bill to tow, demolish and dispose of the average boat is about $9,000, she said. “We’re trying to find the best value for the money,” she said. “Hopefully as we get going we can do ‘batch’ removals to consolidate costs and in that way save even more money.

At least, she said, those are qualities the faculty try to instill in the students. “Once you become a thinker, there’s no undoing it,” Brennock said. “It’s there for the rest of your life.” After degrees had been distributed, Keegan tasked each graduate with creating in their life the type of appreciation for tolerance, diversity and acceptance that they themselves discovered at San Juan Center, and that helped each of them achieve their goals.

I’d like to get a team in place for this kind of thing.” The legislature allocated $4.5 million for the derelict vessel program as part of the 2013-15 state budget, (the majority a one-time appropriation to address a backlog) of which roughly $200,000 is earmarked for the turn-in program. That translates into $100,000 a year to cover the cost of the voluntary program, noted Tammy Robbins, manager

Tourist attraction? It’s a death-trap
I continue to be amazed with the feeding of eagles, an event which occurs somewhere between approximately 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m., daily, on Roche Harbor Road, at Westcott Bay Road. Haven’t we all been taught not to feed wild critters? Doesn’t this interfere with their ecological sense of foraging for themselves and not becoming dependent on human handouts? I have two major concerns with the first concern, being that of safety for people. This event causes a traffic jam with cars parked on both sides of Roche Harbor Rd., as well as parked on Westcott Bay Rd. Yesterday, a woman ran out from between two parked cars, right in front of our car; she never looked. All she could think about was getting a picture of an eagle. She was lucky. We missed her. But how many others like her, as well as children, will continue running out onto Roche Harbor Road without looking? My second concern is for the eagles. This island is adamant about protecting the eagles, their nests, their habitat. Where are these “save the eagle people”—the same people who say we can’t build within “X” feet of an eagle’s nest or endanger them in any way. Why do they turn their back on this daily event? Once the eagles gorge themselves with food, they have difficulty getting lift. I
personally have come close to hitting several eagles as they fly low across the road after eating before reaching the capability to lift for flight. I would hate to take one to the windshield! This might be an interesting tourist attraction, but at what cost? It is just a matter of time. CAROLYN BOWEN San Juan Island
New spin, twist for Pig War Picnic

plate option for $5. The really great benefit of this event is that because of the generosity of our major sponsors: Islanders Bank, American Legion Auxiliary, King’s Market and Browne’s Home Center, as well as many additional community sponsors who have underwritten the event, every single dollar you spend, whether for lunch, hot fudge sundaes or a stop in the beer garden, goes straight back into the community, to the kids. This year Kiwanis gave $7,250 to nine recipients for high school scholarships. We gave to the Boyscouts, Fish for Teeth, American Red Cross and the Family Umbrella Group. Kiwanis funds bought picnic tables for the museum, supported senior projects, after-school programs, Key Club; we bought Halloween candy, and of course, we put on the Christmas Toy Drive each year. These events wouldn’t be possible without your donations and all our volunteers. So, come out to the Pig War Picnic. Have a wonderful Fourth of July, eat, drink and be merry while you celebrate our nation, and the wonderful community in which we are so fortunate to live.

Spirit of giving sparkles at FHES
The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com
The student council at Friday Harbor Elementary School organized an allschool fundraiser that raised $1,000. Every year, the Friday Harbor Elementary Student
Council organizes a fundraiser to raise funds to donate to a charitable organization of their choice. This year, the student council voted to donate the funds to the Red Cross Oso Disaster Relief. On Thursday, June 12, the student council officers presented the school’s donation to Red Cross Community Partnership Lead Allan Smith of San Juan Island. Funds were collected by having a coin-drive in each classroom and by the sales of custom-designed Friday Harbor Elementary T-shirts and sweatshirts. Dexter Prescott, this year’s student council treasurer, is a talented artist and is the student who designed the eagle logo featured on the T-shirts and sweatshirts. All of the students and families at Friday Harbor Elementary School helped to raise the money for this generous donation; thank you very much. And thank you to Allan
Smith for attending our assembly and accepting our donation on behalf of the Red Cross. MIKAH SMITH FHES student council advisor
$600K for a public safety boat? Yikes
Is it just me, or is six hundred thousand dollars too much money to spend on a 38-foot “Public Safety” boat? Now, I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I know a little about boats, and there is no way any 38-foot boat, powered by a couple of foreign engines needs to cost six hundred big ones. What’s it got, a golden toilet seat? Does it even have a toilet? (Can’t tell from the picture.) Okay, this thing squirts water, but at this price it should launch planes, submerge, or fire missiles.
People aren’t outraged because it was paid for by a federal grant. Well folks,where do you think the feds get their dough? From us, (and what they borrow from China). There are some really smart people on this island who understand boat building. I’ll bet the people at Jensen’s could have put something of quality together for a third the price. This waste makes me angry. You should be angry too. MIKE BUETTELL San Juan Island

Crazy way to It’s your Community Foundation every dream matters… fund fireworks Where and every gift counts
hat would the Fourth of July be without a dazzling display of fireworks lighting up the night sky? Some might say it’d be pretty dull, and we would tend to agree. Here’s hoping that we don’t find out anytime soon, as well as a healthy dose of encouragement for helping to fund this year’s Independence Day fireworks show by dropping whatever spare change you might have into a decorated donations can at the many businesses in and around town. Nickels, dimes, quarters— pennies, too—add up. Still, this begging for change every year seems like a crazy way to run a railroad, or put on a fireworks show. It would seem like it’s time for a different solution. Before this time next year.

wenty years ago a Community Foundation was born. It was a dedicated and visionary group of caring islanders who created the San Juan Island Community Foundation in July 1994. That founding board, comprised of Cathy Cavanagh, Bill Weissinger, Dan Selak, Verne Howard, Carol Marble and Rob McGregor, accepted the initial matching donation of $100,000 from David Skinner and Catherine Skinner set the stage for all that the Foundation was to be – and what it has since become. In those 20 years the foundation has: n Helped to design and build our new hospital. n Procured major funding for the school district when it experienced a critical budget shortfall. n Helped over 60 local non-profits — like the Food Bank, Family Resource Center, EMT Association, Hospice of San Juan, etc. — create and maintain critical community programs. n Assisted hundreds local donors in evaluating community projects and provide ongoing management of their gifts. n Grown from its initial $100,000 to over $7,000,000 in philanthropic resources. n Built a scholarship program with annual awards now exceeding $140,000. n Grown from annual grants of $10,000 to over $3,500,000. n Built a legacy program that helps local citizens plan and manage their charitable estate gifts which have already topped $5,000,000. u u u u Then… one year ago an executive director was born. After serving the foundation in various capacities, depending on the need of the moment, I was honored to be named the foundation’s first executive director in July 2013. In reflecting back over what this past year has meant to me, I borrow the words of a recently retired nonprofit executive director when she answered the question: “What

“Did you know that the biggest, baddish male fish on the reef changes into a female?” Dr. Adam Summers shared this story and many others as he entertained the Jazz At The Labs (JATL) audience while taking bids to support three different Fund-a-Need projects for Friday Harbor Labs (K-12) Science Outreach Program (FHLSOP), on Saturday evening, June 14. Thank you Adam for your fun, informative and successful fundraising style. “I feel like a real scientist,” and, “I didn’t know fish were so cute,” were just two of the many student comments that Debbie Taylor, Friday Harbor Elementary School teacher, shared with the JATL audience. Debbie enthusiastically described the FHLSOP 4th, 5th and 6th grade projects that she and her students have been involved with over the years. Thank you Debbie for bringing these projects alive and giving the JATL audience a brief look at the impact the FHLSOP has had on your students.

did you love about your job?” “There is so much to love. If you give it everything, your work will matter. You will work with passionate defenders of social justice and human dignity. The people you spend each day with will be the people who care about creating a better world with others. On the good days, you will pause a moment before you walk out the door, and a voice will whisper to you, ‘Your work here mattered today.’ “If you are doing it right, sometimes it will terrify you. You will feel that you have fallen short and let people down; you will feel this many days. This is the unspoken part of your job description: the mission is greater than you, and you cannot hold it all in your arms. And that is when you will feel gratitude for volunteers, partners, and board members. They are your true bosses, second only to the mission.” Yes, that is exactly why I love this place. In the coming weeks and months you will be seeing a lot more of your community foundation—in the newspaper, on your computer, at the Farmers’ Market, at the County Fair, at gatherings where we will be seeking your input on community needs and services.

was established with the San Juan Island School District and the Spring Street International School in 2001. In this year alone, FHLSOP worked with over 735 local students and 23 teachers reaching students in every grade. The Science Outreach Program focuses on getting students actively engaged in the process of science. We have developed a set of handson, inquiry based projects specifically designed to complement and enhance the current science curriculum at local schools. The program gives students experiences that teachers build on in the classroom. As a result, students have the opportunity to ask questions and participate in experiments so they realize that they themselves are scientists. In addition to great jazz, delicious seafood jambalaya and the Fund-aNeed event, we gratefully acknowledged and thanked our generous FHLSOP sponsors. New sponsors this year include: Burke Critchfield, C & E Publications, Post San Juan, Rock Island Technology Solutions and Gary & Susan Sterner. Our returning multi-year spon-

Also, FHLSOP receives generous support from the Wells Fargo Foundation, Dr. Carolyn Haugen, San Juan Public Schools Foundation, San Juan Island Community Foundation– Women’s Fund, Port of Friday Harbor and Friday Harbor Elementary School PTA. Last, but not least, we would also like to extend a special thank you to attendees, musicians, emcees, program contributors, and all the UW Friday Harbor Labs staff who made the 14th annual Jazz at the Labs (JATL) fundraiser event a great success. All proceeds collected from this event benefit the Friday Harbor Labs (K-12) Science Outreach Program. It is our great pleasure to bring this program to the schools and work with all the individuals who make it possible.

Project Grad Night unveiled It takes a village to create a send-off they’ll never forget By Kelly Snow
Special to the Journal
On June 7, 58 students of the class of 2014 graduated from Friday Harbor High School, taking their first step out into the world, and most likely, away from the island that has literally been their rock for 18 years. But after the diplomas were distributed, hugs were shared, and photos were taken, the students were whisked away for one final night together as a class. This night, called Project Grad Night, is a gift to the students from their parents and dozens of community members and businesses, who make it possible. Project Grad Night, as an all-night event, was started on the island in 2007 by grad parents working with the Prevention Coalition, as a way to provide a safe and

memorable evening for graduating seniors. Graduation night has historically been the most dangerous night of a teenager’s life, with a high incident rate across the country of drinking and driving accidents. What happens on Project Grad Night? It varies from year to year, as each year a group of parents fundraise and plan the event for nine months, according to what they believe their kids would most enjoy. This year’s event included: a magical barge trip with DJ and dancing, a sunset
toast, and delicious sandwich bar, to a beach where students played games, had bonfires and a BBQ; then onto a barn dance in an amazingly beautiful setting, with DJ and light show, professional Laser Tag course, sumo wrestling, photo booth, delectable catered dinner, espresso bar with professional barista; swimming, hot-tubbing, the gift of massage and hair styling by attentive professionals, pingpong, a fun hypnotist show, milk and cookie bar; special sunrise breakfast, another fabulous espresso bar, slide show, letters from friends and family, gifts, plus more! (Mother Nature did her part too by providing a spectacularly beautiful night, complete with a show of the Northern Lights!) This special night could not happen without the dedication of 15-plus amazing chaperones, who donate their entire evening to spend with these kids, traveling from site to site, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. These are community members and coaches (not parents!) to whom we owe a huge debt of gratitude. So many businesses contributed, with stunning generosity, by donating their goods, services, cash, discounts, and time to the fundraisers and to the event itself that it is not possible to list all here (please see our ‘thank you’ ad in this issue and be sure to support these local businesses). The senior class felt the love of this amazing community every step of the way. Every volunteer and donor worked graciously and tirelessly to provide this memorable night. This is an amazing village, one that takes care of its members, young and old. We are truly blessed. — Editor’s note: Kelly Snow served as Chair of the Project Grad Night Planning Committee

MA’s latest show is the construction of its jewel of a building. There is something hypnotizing about tracking the day-to-day progress of a construction site. That is what residents and visitors get to do over the next six months— watch the glass go up at the emerging San Juan Islands Art Museum (IMA) on Spring Street. Although the opening is delayed due to unforeseen construction obstacles, there is good news. Instead of opening in stages with only the atrium and main galleries completed for the first exhibition, IMA will have the whole building ready for the public in early 2015. This includes a 4,000plus square-foot main floor of galleries and entry, and about 1,400 square feet of workshop space on the second floor. Programming is in place for 2015 and into 2016, and there is a broad-brush picture of activities and events during the remainder of construction. IMA looks forward to briefing the community about anticipated exhibitions and activities over the next few months. Watch the light-filled gallery rise, which will feature individual artists, group themes and collaborative
efforts from recognized artists as well as emerging ones. The media will range from photography to painting to sculpture to installation art and beyond. Programming will include docent-led tours, films, concerts, culinary events and The San Juan Islands Museum of Art plans to surprise guests with a fresh experience each visit. Over the last 10 years, in various venues, IMA has exhibited national-quality art and exceptional regional talent. IMA makes the visual arts an accessible and vibrant part of the islands’ community by offering visitors and residents hands-on family activities and arts education programs. The new museum is designed by noted architect, Richard Hobbs, in the repurposed EMX building at 540 Spring Street, in Friday Harbor. The builder is Wellman & Zuck of Bellingham, Wash. A sample of previous exhibits includes Lanny Bergner’s Nature’s Matrix, Ernest H.

f you think Friday Harbor artist Aaron D’Errico has a powerful story to tell, you’re right. And now there’s an Emmy to back it up. Q-13 Fox Sports director Aaron Levine and photographer Walker Anderson were awarded a Northwest Regional Emmy June 7, in the Sports Feature/Segment category, for a broadcast feature about D’Errico, his soccer superhero creation and his relationship with friend and mentor Pat O’Day, legendary DJ, music promoter and former co-owner of the expansion Seattle Sounders. The segment, entitled “The Power of Imagination,” aired July 7, 2013. Levine also won a Sports Anchor Emmy for the segment as well, his third such award from
the Northwest Chapter of The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, which represents television and media professionals in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Montana and Washington. The feature highlights D’Errico’s goal to turn challenges into triumphs through a soccer superhero character, “Ammon Walker,” created as part of a Talenthouse art invite sponsored by Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee. D’Errico plans to make digital comic books and, following an artist search through Talenthouse, has hooked up with former islander Addison Ranker, now living in Oregon, to See UNFOLDS, Page 10

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. 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
