Mystery encircles human remains
Panel to weigh in at series finale
Identification of body uncovered on Orcas hampered by decay
Journal staff report
By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
Local authorities hope that dental records will help lead to the identity of a decomposed body discovered in a secluded area of Moran State Park. San Juan County Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord, who, in his capacity as the county’s elected prosecutor, doubles as county coroner, said that the human remains, discovered Saturday, Sept. 6, in a collapsed tent near the bridge over Cascade Lagoon by a man who happened to be fishing in the area, are clearly that of a man. A wallet found in the tent contained a Texas driver’s license of a person from the city of Plano, but the degree of decomposition was too “extensive,” Gaylord said, to match the driver’s license with the remains. “We’re hoping that within a week we will be able to test the dental records with those of the person whose wallet was found in the tent,” he said. “The driver’s license provides us with a lead but we’re not able to confirm it’s the same person.” Gaylord said the cause of death was not apparent from the view of the scene, and that a complete See REMAINS, Page 4

Friday Harbor’s Gabe Lawson tackles Vikings running back Pasha Bullock for a loss in first quarter action in the Wolverines 57-19 victory at home, Friday, Sept. 5, a decisive season-opening win in the annual Island Cup match up.
New season, strong start Wolverines dominate Orcas in season opener, Island Cup win The floodgates opened early and often as the Wolverines rode a first-half scoring spree to a decisive 57-19 victory over the Vikings of Orcas at home, Friday, in their 2014 seasonopener. Capitalizing on a fumble by the Vikings on their very first play from scrimmage, Friday Harbor jumped out to a 8-0 lead with only 27 elapsed in the contest, as sophomore Kai Herko took the team’s first snap and rumbled 35 yards up the middle for a touchdown; quarterback Peter Holt scampered across the goal line to tag on a 2-point conversion. “It was awesome,” senior Bill Revercomb said of the season opening win over the Wolverines inter-island rival. “I can’t wait until next Friday. I
didn’t really care all that much who we played. I just wanted to get out there and dominate whoever it was.” And dominate, they did. The Wolverines, playing this year in Division 2B for the first time in more than a decade, exploded for 37 points and held the Vikings, who suited only 14 players for the contest, scoreless in the first half. The season-opener marked the debut of Friday Harbor’s new offensive scheme, a “Wildcat-like” offensive set, featuring a heavily stacked backfield and absent wide receivers, known close to home as the “Wolverine.” After the break, Friday Harbor needed only seconds to ratchet up the advantage as Revercomb, in his first game back after being sidelined in 2013 by a broken arm, took the opening kick off of the second half and dashed 60 yards for his third touchdown of the game.

The presentation is open to the public and marks the kick off to the town’s Marketing and Branding initiative, a process in which town officials will develop a specific branding book and town logo, together with marketing materials and way-finding signage. The materials will be utilized in conjunction with the San Juan Island Visitors Bureau destination marketing campaign, according to the town. In addition, the town will use the branding and marketing components to attract new business and industry and maximize tourism potential. Roger Brooks International was selected from numerous
candidates from around the country vying to develop a marketing and branding plan for the town. Friday Harbor officials note that RBI brings 30 years’ experience in repositioning communities into a destination of choice, an outstanding place to live and a place for investment and business growth. A committee of town business owners and residents will join in the planning process. Brooks will return in November for a follow-up public presentation. The author of “Your Town: A Destination,” Brooks has assisted nearly 1,000 communities with branding efforts, and is recognized as a dynamic,

‘Miracle Man’ returns to work Orcas Power & Light Cooperative journeyman lineman Kevin Zoerb is back at work following an arduous journey of surgeries and healing for injuries he suffered in September 2013 after coming into contact with a high voltage electrical line. Dubbed the “Miracle Man” at Harborview Medical Center, Zoerb, a Lopez Island resident, has made a remarkable recovery. “We are thrilled to welcome Kevin back to work,” said OPALCO General Manager Foster Hildreth.
“Kevin is a veteran lineman; he and his family are important members of the OPALCO family.” Zoerb was working on the south end of Lopez Island when he came in contact with a high-voltage electrical line in the morning of Sept. 20. He was airlifted to Harborview and admitted into the burn center in critical condition at the time. The Co-op said in a press release that it is committed to supporting Zoerb as he regains strength and transitions back into the trade. “We expect to see him

Plans afoot for stormwater solutions Data, ideas for improved management to be unveiled at Open House series With fall approaching we once again look toward the rainy season. Last year the season started with a shockingly large storm event that overwhelmed our Eastsound storm sewer system. With that memory almost one year behind us, the Stormwater Utility is moving into the final phase of countywide stormwater management planning. We have completed Volume 1 of the County Stormwater plan, which describes the nature of 37 drainage basins in terms of the geology, hydrology, current land-use and potential development. Based on that information, Volume 1 makes some broad suggestion for how we can manage stormwater. These range from developing more detailed plans in focus basins, including Eastsound and Lopez Village, to utilizing the treatment capacity available in existing ecological systems, such as wetlands, ponds and ditches. More specifics regarding these and other recommendations are presented in the recommendations section of Volume 1. What does that mean for you and the planning process? Take a look at the report and recommendations on the county web site and then come to one or more of the open house events scheduled during the week of Sept. 15. You will have an opportunity to ask questions of and suggest favorable options to the managers, scientists, citizens and engineers that are working on this plan. We will also be unveiling the "Top 20" list of capital projects. These are the projects that will be presented to the Citizens Stormwater Advisory Committee for final ranking are: San Juan Island National Historical Park, Madrona Institute, San Juan Community Theatre, San Juan Islands Conservation District, The League of Women Voters of the San Juans, San Juan Island Library, San Juan

Island Cup revisited
Continued from page 1 The Vikings put 17 points up on the scoreboard late in the game to narrow the deficit, as Friday Harbor, with the contest in hand, substituted liberally in the final period. With the victory, the Wolverines laid claim to the coveted Island Cup trophy for the third consecutive season, and in what proved another lopsided win. Friday Harbor held the Vikings scoreless in the previous two meetings between the two inter-island rivals. Orcas last seized the trophy in 2011, with a 20-15 comefrom-behind win on their home field. The competition should prove more fierce this coming Friday, as the Wolverines travel to Concrete to square off against the Lions, who held

Andrew V. McLaglen: 1920—2014 Veteran film director, Andrew V. McLaglen, 94, of Friday Harbor, Washington, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday morning, August 30, 2014. Born in London, England, he was the son of Academy Award-winning British actor Victor McLaglen and Enid Lamont. The family moved to Hollywood in 1925 when Andrew was five years old. His interest in filmmaking began during his high school years at Cate School, just outside Santa Barbara, Calif. There he began making 16mm movies with his friends. After spending one year at the University of Virginia he decided to pursue a film career against the advice of his father. He got his first job in 1945 as a production assistant at Republic Pictures. Andrew went on to work as an assistant director with John Ford (“The Quiet Man”) and William A. Wellman (“The High and the Mighty,” “Island in the Sky,” and “Blood Alley”). Andrew was then given his first directing opportunities by John Wayne on “Gun the Man Down” and “Man in the Vault.” Andrew went on to a prolific career in television, directing 96 episodes of Gunsmoke (1956-1965) and 116 episodes of Have Gun Will Travel (1957-1963). He returned to films in 1963 when he directed “McClintock!” starring John Wayne. He subsequently directed 26 films, among them the John Wayne starrers “Hellfighters,” “The Undefeated,” “Chisum” and “Cahill, US Marshall.” His other films include “Shenandoah,“ “The Rare Breed,” “Bandalero!” and “Fools Parade” all starring James Stewart. He worked with many of Hollywood's greatest actors, including Richard Burton, Dean Martin, Kirk Douglas, Roger Moore, Robert Mitchum, Burt Lancaster, Gregory Peck, and William Holden. At 6-foot, 7-inches he earned the nickname “Big A.” He was indeed larger than life and loved by all of his actors and crews.
Many who worked with Andrew share his favorite little trick. He would stand on the edge of your shoe, stepping just enough so you couldn’t pull your foot away. He would watch you struggle, all the while pretending not to notice. Always a twinkle of play in every encounter… He moved to San Juan Contributed photo Island, Washington in 1975, Andrew V. McLaglen where he found his paradise. He met and married his 4th wife, Sheila Corbett in 1987. She passed away in 2005. He was very active in the local community theatre in Friday Harbor, directing many plays over the years with the local talent. His love of film, theatre and life was evident in all that he did. An avid tennis player and fan, Andrew traveled yearly to London to attend Queen’s Club and Wimbledon. Screams echoed off the pond on Sundays when everyone gathered at Andrew’s house to watch his beloved Seahawks. You could hear his roar across the island this January when his team made Superbowl history. He is survived by his three children; Sharon Lannan, Josh McLaglen and Mary McLaglen, and his step daughter Laura Geniuch. His son Andrew Jr. died in 2006. He is also survived by his 10 grandchildren, all of whom will dearly miss him. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to the San Juan Community Theatre, 100 2nd Street North, Friday Harbor, WA 98250. — Family of Andrew V. McLaglen

OPINION Letters to the Editor
Hey, Post Office, what about this?
It is clear the road work on the streets adjacent to the Friday Harbor post office will continue into at least October, and won’t be completely finished until spring of next year. Shades of “Big Bertha” in Seattle . . . The Post Office itself could help ease the traffic and congestion in that area, and in its own parking lot, by temporarily placing mail-drop boxes at four or five locations around the perimeter of the Town. These could be posted for pickup at 1:30 p.m. or earlier, ensuring that mail deposited in these boxes would meet the daily 3 p.m. dispatch to the mainland. Many postal patrons go to the post office only to mail something that already has postage affixed (stamps, their own postal meter postage, a pre-paid label purchased on-line, a return envelope with pre-paid postage, etc); these customers are not there to purchase anything or to visit a post office box. Temporarily locating mail-drop boxes elsewhere around the town would alleviate the necessity of these patrons visiting the post office at all, and would help to ease some of the congestion in that area.

parking lot of the Peace Health Medical Center at the upper end of Spring St; the Park-&-Ride ferry lot on Nichols St. You and your readers can probably think of other locations just as suitable. Locating temporary mail drop boxes is equally in the interests of the Post Office itself as for the rest of us; I’m confident that the owners or occupants of these locations would be willing to accommodate the temporary location of a free-standing mail drop box on their premises “for the common good” until this road work is finished and business returns to normal.

Bicyclists at risk on SJ roadways
Gee Whiz! What if a news organization like the Seattle Times had a news item headed “San Juan Island unsafe for tourist,” of course, later in the article the fact that it is unsafe for bicyclists would come out. This would beg the question: “Would it be safe to take my family to go to San Juan Island on vacation?” One wonders why if an automobile goes off the road, there is a sprouting of guard rails all over the island, but when an accident between an automobile and bicycle (there have been two in the last two months) that the powers that be stick their collective heads in the sand with flawed reasoning such as: “We cannot provide proper shoulders, or, it’s the biker’s fault.” This reasoning is bogus and sidesteps the real problem. Gosh, they (the pow-

ers that be) could form a committee to look into it, that would kick the can down the road for a year or two—and just hope that there won’t be an auto-bike fatality in the meantime. There may be a solution. I believe there are intelligent folks on the island to address the problem. By the by, there is the law (you know, the rules we live by), the “revised code of Washington (RCW). RCW 46.04.670 states: “a bicycle is legally defined as a vehicle when on the road…” RCW 46.61.770 states: “a bicycle may take the middle of the lane.” I submit that if there is dislike or disagreement of the law, the law can be amended.

Oops, our bad, we meant no offense
Please allow us to use this forum to publicly apologize for offending the residents of Friday Harbor by posting notices around town announcing “Remember the Rendezvous” Salmon Barbecue that the Lion’s club will be hosting at the Fair Grounds on September 13 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. We have been asked by the town to “Cease and Desist” and we will, of course, do so.

W
hen you support Relay for Life, you are helping someone win a battle against cancer. You are helping educate people so they know about healthier choices and how to reduce their cancer risk. And you are helping to fund research that will someday make cancer go the way of polio. Relay for Life is held in thousands of communities across the United States, and in Friday Harbor as well. This year, the event takes place Saturday, Sept. 27, at the fairgrounds, 3-11 p.m. Dozens of individuals and local businesses are devoting time, energy and resources to make this year’s Relay For Life both a profitable fundraiser—scores of services, collectables, products and must-have items will be available as part of the silent auction—and a unique and entertaining community get together. San Juan Island’s very own “Big Band,” the One More Time Band will perform, the always captivating Ballet Folklorica troupe will bedazzle with a series of Mexican folk dances, belly dancers, food vendors, kids games and many more activities are in store, too. Thankfully, advances in medicine, treatment and technology have combined to make a diagnosis of cancer a far less inevitable, deadly fate than it once was. That’s in part thanks to funds raised by Relay for Life, and the work of the American Cancer Society, which has more than $434 million in research grants in effect today. The result of those research dollars? Since 1946, the American Cancer Society has invested more than $3.1 billion in research. In 1946, 25 percent of cancer patients lived at least five years after diagnosis; today, that rate is 60 percent. (See Teddy Deane’s guest column about prostate cancer, page 13, and the local support group, “Us Too”) Still, in many ways the search for a cure for cancer, and battle to help better the lives of those who contract the disease truly begin at home, in our own backyard. There’s still time to join the effort and plenty of opportunity to lend a hand. Funds raised by the Friday Harbot Relay for Life chapter help support local programs that assist islanders battling the disease.

Farmers’ fraternity; San Juan to Asia Global assistance programs help unite farmers in a common cause By Bruce Gregory Special to the Journal
I
n the remote area of Central Asia is a small country called Tajikistan that up until 1991 was part of the Soviet Union. Tajikistan is south of Kyrgyzstan, a country we visited in 2004 and again in 2006 with the F2F program. Tajikistan has one of the lowest per capita GDPs among the 15 former Soviet republics. Twenty-one percent of their GDP is from agriculture. Thirty-five percent of the 8 million people who live in Tajikistan live below the poverty level. Forty-six percent of the work force is involved in agriculture. As part of a continuing program to assist the now independent countries that emerged from the break-up of the Soviet bloc, the U.S. Agency for International Development, Volunteers for Overseas Cooperative Assistance, Agency for Cooperative Development International, in cooperation with local Tajiks, have recruited volunteers from the U.S. who have experience in agriculture to go to Tajikistan on farmer-to-farmer exchanges. I have been asked to return to Central Asia and the country of Tajikistan in November to assist a small group of farmers in the village of Mekhnatobod Jamoat (near Qurghon-Teppa city) in the southwestern part of Tajikistan. My host will be the Alosher Dehkan Farm, owned by Mr. Firdavs Safarov. The host group in Mekhnatobod Jamoat village is a family group of seven that collectively manage a 1.5 hectare

Mitchell Bay Farm’s Bruce Gregory will make a third sojourn to Central Asia to help farmers in Tajikistan improve orchard yields.
orchard of apples, pears, plums, cherry, apricots, peaches and almonds. In addition, I will be working with farmers in 12 other districts of the Khatlon Province throughout my three-week stay. There are another 200 indirect beneficiaries in the group; men, women and children. The work I will be doing is to help the growers identify and start implementing improvements in their orchard management practices. There is little money for orchard technologies that we in the U.S. take for granted. Most of what I will be doing is helping them improve their pruning methods, work on fertility and integrated pest management using mostly organic methods and providing them feed back on how they can take their limited resources and improve their quality of life through their farming and See FRATERNITY, Page 8
Back off… chapel is meant for all
Reuben Tarte, my father, had the extraordinary vision of converting an old derelict Lime Plant into a Resort and Marina in 1956. The chapel “Our Lady of Good Voyage” at Roche Harbor was converted from an old school house by my Mother Clara Tarte that same year. The intent of this edifice, a place of worship for all whom ventured forth to this outstanding island retreat. A place where all would enjoy the incomparable experience, that is, Roche Harbor. Our entire family lived our lives and worked in pursuit of this endeavor, some are yet involved. The original concept was called by Reuben, a “Boatel,” which now bares the moniker of “Marina” and “Village.” Exclusivity was never considered, all were welcomed and encouraged to enjoy the unique experience that is Roche Harbor today. The chapel, “Our Lady of Good Voyage,” was intended to be a safe haven for all. My parents Reuben and Clara, brother, Neil, his wife Margaret and my first husband, Robert Tangney,
(killed at Roche Harbor 7/4/71) were all buried from that chapel. I was married to my second husband, Bob Kennedy, in that chapel, my children have been married in that chapel, my grandchildren and great grandchildren have been baptized in that chapel. My soul resides in that chapel and I too shall be laid to rest from Our Lady of Good Voyage. I was taught by my parents to embrace the diversity that is the heart and strength of our country and our church. The very idea of restricting the use, to worship, partake and enjoy Our Lady of Good Voyage to Catholics only is as repugnant to me as the concept of segregation. I am certain my mother and father would concur. Roche Harbor and Our Lady of Good Voyage were conceived, developed, and are here today for guests, boaters, and residents, and is available for all who come to marvel at the beauty of Roche Harbor and the San Juan Islands. Roche Harbor and Our Lady of Good Voyage were never intended to be an “elitist” community, with artificial barriers that have outlived their time. TERESA TARTE TANGNEY KENNEDY Union, Wash.

Bruce Kingland: 1932-2014 Bruce died peacefully on Labor Day on San Juan Island. He was born in Iowa and spent his formative years on the family farm. Upon graduation from high school he enlisted in the army and eventually came to the Northwest, stationed at Fort Lawton. Following a tour of duty in Korea during the Korean conflict, he was discharged and returned to Iowa for education at Waldorf College and Drake University. The lure of the mountains brought him back to the Northwest, his home for over 50 years. The finance business occupied his week days for 25 years before he turned to real estate appraisal, from which he retired. But the mountains were his pleasure – hiking, skiing, and fishing. There he met his wife, Mary Ryan. They married and raised their two children, Scott and Jennifer, on week-

ends at the cabin he and his brother, LeRoy, had purchased in the late '50s, near Crystal Mountain. Bruce skied the mountains of the West, always coming back to Crystal Mountain where a run is named for him. When he and Mary moved to San Juan Island in 1995, the proximity to Whistler, B.C. lured him and he spent many winter week days skiing its runs. To fill his summer days on San Juan Island he joined the San Juan Golf Club and participated in many Celebrity Classics.

Retooled, rebuilt for 2B battle C
oach Richard Ledford begins the 2014 season with modest goals and a readiness to take the upcoming campaign one game at a time. “We want to be 1-0 after the first game and we’ll take it from there,” said Ledford, who marks his 40th season as a high school football coach in his second year in a second stint at Friday Harbor High School. While the team loses Nathan Steenkolk, who added his name to the list of Wolverines all-time rushing leaders and scored a touchdown in this year’s state all-star game, Ledford isn’t worried. Seven seniors return to the lineup, including standouts Gabe Lawson, Peter Holt, Willie Blackmon and Bill Revercomb, sidelined in 2013 with a broken arm. Ledford will look to these four to provide leadership to a squad that team captain Holt says is already a team-oriented group. “Nobody stands out more than anybody else,” he said. “Most of us have been playing together since youth football, so it’s a close group of guys.” Coach Ledford echoed that statement. “It’s a great group of young men playing football,” he said. “They’re a joy to coach. Together, everyone accomplishes more.” The Wolverines will unleash a new offense this year. “It’s a pretty significant change and it makes us a more

depth on this year’s roster. Only 38 players turned out this year; Ledford is more used to a team with 50. “People have to learn two positions to give us depth, but that is typical with a small school,” the veteran coach said. Last season proved a difficult one, as the Wolverines tangled with the likes of Division 2A Anacortes, as well as 1A powerhouses Meridian, Blaine and Mount Baker (who ended up 2nd in the state). “Competition brings out good things,” Ledford said. “I think we will come out stronger, even though last year we See FOOTBALL, Page 12
Size, experience on their side T
he Friday Harbor boys soccer team has struggled since it bumped up to Division 1A competition about a decade ago. So, with this year’s drop down to the 2B level (due to lower enrollment at the high school) the 2014 team is “chomping at the bit” to unleash its 1A-fortified game, wipe from its slate a decade of frustration and become the catalyst for a new era of success on the field of competition. It’s not only the divisional drop that suggests that’s precisely what might happen. With experience, size, numbers (30 players turned out for the team) and per-
haps the most well-conditioned squad in the league, the stars are aligned for the 2014 Wolverines. “Suddenly we have the numbers we didn’t have in 1A,” Coach Andy Duke said. “This is the biggest squad Friday Harbor has ever had, both in numbers and in size. We’re huge.” Nearly a dozen seniors return to the lineup, some of whom, like Sam Stewart, Michael Hoeller, Sam Gabler-Brown and Peter Strasser, stand six-feet tall or better, and are well-versed in throwing their weight around. Friday Harbor also boasts an internationalmelded lineup, with a player

buzz surrounded the girls soccer squad when they became the first to take the field at the new Carter Street ballfields. It seemed like nobody knew the team had lost seven seniors, four first-team all-leaguers, to boot. It’s an excited group of 26 girls seeking to build on a 2013 season that saw them win the Northwest League with a perfect 8-0 record, only to be ousted handily in post-season play, in a 7-1 loss to King’s High School,
which ended the season second in the state. Like the rest of Friday Harbor High School’s athletic teams, the girls soccer squad drops to the 2B classification. For coach Paul Hopkins and crew, the switch doesn’t mean a huge change in opponents, as 7-of-8 teams the Wolverines will face are squads they took on last fall. But it does change the mentality about where the Wolverines want to be come
playoff time. “Our goals are to win the league, like we did last year and see what we can do in the playoffs,” Hopkins said. The Wolverines will be tested early, with four games on the road to start the season, the last three in a four-day span, a league match-up with 2B league runner-up La Conner before back-to-back non-league games against Division 2A Lynden and Sedro-Woolley.

xpectations are running high over in Turnbull Gym. And, with good reason. Not only does Head Coach Travis Mager welcome back the heart of the team that a year ago topped all others in amassing victories over the past decade, finishing 12-6 overall and on the doorstep of the Division 1A Tri-District tournament, but there’s still room to grow. “We’ve only got one senior,” Mager said, eye-beams on high. Back to anchor the front line, prowling the net with height and a formidable lefty-righty combination are the Wolverines twin towers, juniors Allie Galt and Madi Kincaid. By their side will be the team’s most athletically gifted player, Elli Wood, who, as a freshman, displayed an impressive ability to get up in the air and deliver a lethal blow. Also returning to the lineup is Taylor Turnbull, heir apparent for the “setter” position, a role that she grew comSee VOLLEYBALL, Page 12

FALL SPORT PREVIEW
Game, set, no more match? Low turnout puts regular season in jeopardy, post-season in doubt
T
he Friday Harbor boys tennis program enters the 2014 season on life-support. On the eve of competition, prospective opponents shied away from putting the Wolverines on their calendar because of the absence of bodies on the Friday Harbor roster, and the team at the moment lacks anything resembling a match schedule for the season ahead. In fact, with an early season turnout totaling just two players, both new to the program, first-year head coach Ben Troutman and company may likely end up losing the entire season without a single swing of the racquet. “The magic number is six,” Troutman said of amount of players needed to cement a schedule. “We’ll keep practicing and working on our game, and hope for the best.” In the meantime, sophomore Griffin Cuomo and freshman Erich Atwell will surely benefit from what effectively amount to private lessons from one of the island’s premier tennis players. Still, Troutman, a Friday Harbor Middle School fac-
ulty member and former collegiate tennis player, inherits a once-proud program that even longtime coach Dick Barnes struggled to keep replenished with new recruits in the last several seasons of a 26-year tenure at the helm. In contrast, participation on the girls tennis team, which competes in the spring, has surged over the last several years. Why the lack of interest? Hard to say, but with overall enrollment at the high school in steady decline and with football, and now soccer, competing for bodies, whether the extended dip in participation proves fatal for the boys tennis program remains to be seen. Athletic Director Rod Turnbull said that the district is committed to keeping the program alive if even only a few students remain enthusiastic and dedicated to the sport. Tennis can be sanctioned as either a “team” or an “individual” sport, and that the program can continue with a minimum of three players, and that an opportunity for postseason play exists even if other schools decline to participate against Friday Harbor as part of a regular-season schedule.
Football: Continued from page 10 might have had some discouragement.” This year, Friday Harbor will be one of the larger 2B teams, returning to a league that features Darrington, Concrete, Orcas and La Conner. Ledford singles out La Conner as one of the stronger 2B opponents. “They went to the state championship two years ago and the semi-finals last year, so they have a great class 2B program,” he said of La Conner, whom the Wolverines just

barely beat in a 30-28 nail-biter a year ago. Darrington and Concrete have been strong in recent years as well, each making state 2B appearances last season. Ledford believes the Wolverines will be able to compete with the 2B best. “I can’t predict wins or losses, but we will have a competitive team.” That competitive edge was on full display in the Sept. 5 season-opener, as the Wolverines retained the coveted Island Cup trophy with a 57-19 win at home over Orcas. The win bodes well for the season ahead, as the Wolverines take to the road to renew its former rivalry with Concrete. — Sam Paul-Barrette
Hopkins also wants to establish a new style of play, with a change in formation, switching from a “burn the other team with speed” type offense to a possession in the midfield-oriented game. Hopkins said that although he has seven seniors and only two freshman, every girl must play like they’ve been on the team for years. Team captain Kaitlyn Domenech, a senior, agrees. “We’re learning how to
other positions in the starting rotation. First-year coach Nadine Varsovia has about a dozen players on the junior varsity squad who, with a little time, attention and fine-tuning, will help keep the program at its elevated pitch. Like all other Friday Harbor athletic teams, the Wolverines volleyball squad will be competing in Division 2B this sea-

mesh well together and in time I have confidence that we will be a very close team,” she said.

son, no longer matched up against the likes of Lynden Christian, Nooksack Valley or Meridian, with position in post-season play on the line. But with Division 2A Sedro Woolley and Coupeville lying in wait, as well as two league contests against La Conner waiting in the wings, the Wolverines 13-game regular-season schedule will be anything but a cakewalk. With the loss to graduation of Kendra Meeker, a fiery competitor and team catalyst in 2013, there also remains the question of who will step up and assume the leadership role.
Experience and talent can take you only so far, and a team must be motivated and ready to perform each and every match if it expects to come away with a win, Mager said. “We’re still young, but we have a really well-balanced team,” he said. “I’d say the biggest hurdle is that they’ll need to find a way to keep their intensity up in each and ever match.” Still, nothing succeeds like success, and it’s a safe bet that the Wolverines will find a way to continue their winning ways. — Scott Rasmussen

They’ll be tested early, pitted against defending Northwest 2B League champion Mount Vernon Christian on the road, Sept. 13, in the second game of the season.

It’s prostate cancer awareness month; here’s how we can help | Guest Column By Teddy Deane
Special to the Journal
S
eptember is prostate cancer awareness month. Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men. A total of 5,700 men in Washington were diagnosed in 2013 and 730 died from it. Having said that, most men live with it for a long time. Diagnosis requires that you pay attention to it so you don’t end up in the second category, if you can help it.* Keeping informed and helping others is a good place to start. As a 17-year survivor myself, I have observed the changes in attitudes that this disease has gone through for quite a while. When I was diagnosed in 1997 there was not a lot of information available, men mostly shied away from talking about it; information groups were hard to come by and treatments were much more primitive than they are today. Diagnosis, evaluation, treatments, and other options have come a long way thanks to science and echnology, and there are more and more support and information groups, including an “Us TOO” group (a part of “Us TOO” International) in Friday Harbor that meets monthly at the Mullis Center.
Unfortunately, mens’ attitudes toward the disease still remain somewhat closeted, although they are getting better as public awareness does reduce some of the fear older men have about discussing it. Our “Us TOO” group has grown significantly over the last decade and I feel that we have helped a lot of men who have come in, very anxiously, with a new diagnosis. Seeing all of us survivors and hearing about our experiences has not only given these men encouragement but also a better handle on what to expect in everyday terms. We also try to keep current with technology and local practices, and we try to answer as many questions as possible without giving medical advice. Us TOO, Friday Harbor Chapter, is a community service for anyone wanting to know more about prostate cancer issues and everyone, male and female, are welcome as PCa is a family disease. We also encourage PCa survivors in the community to check in at least once in a while, because it’s not about you, it’s about who you can help. Us TOO meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month, starting in September, at the Mullis Center, from 6-7 p.m. *(Early diagnosis helps longevity, PSA
screening helps early diagnosis, get it checked). — Editor’s note: Teddy Deane is Friday Harbor Chapter leader, contact him at, 360-378-5250, or, teddy@teddydeane.com

That’s precisely what Seattle-area author and U of W professor Michael Honey has done with his latest book, “Sharecropper’s Troubadour,” bringing to life the provocative story of John Handcox, folksinger, labor-union flagbearer and the working man’s Woody Guthrie, but without the dubious distinction of having penned governmentsponsored tunes of propaganda. Professor of American history at U of W-Tacoma, Honey, a former Southern civil rights organizer and 2011 Guggenheim fellow, is author of three books on the history of labor and civil rights, including “Going Down Jericho Road: The Memphis Strike, Martin Luther King’s Last Campaign.” He will be at Griffin Bay Bookstore to share insights about his latest work and about the life and times of Handcox(the presentation includes a slideshow and short film) Saturday, Sept. 13, at 7 p.m. Michael Honey

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

Benefit features barbecued salmon, music, and more
Once upon a time, islanders gathered by the hundreds—sometimes by the thousands—on the Friday Harbor waterfront to celebrate and enjoy the waning days of the summer season, and to show off the delights of San Juan Island to family, friends and visitors, with a king-sized feast of barbecued salmon and with a long, varied list of activities and entertainment, like music, dancing, log-rolling contest and row boat races, and even water-skiing. Actually, it wasn’t just once upon a time, the San Juan “Rendezvous” first got its start in 1948, as a homecoming of sorts and sponsored at that time by the Chamber of Commerce, and ran through the early ‘80s. It proved an instant hit. In fact, according to newspaper reports of the day, as many as 2,500 people attended the 1950 Rendezvous and as much as 1,500 pounds of salmon came off the grill. That year the U.S. Navy sent a destroyer escort, the “Grady,” to add to the festivities. The San Juan Island Lions Club, a former event sponsor, is resurrecting that beloved tradition by staging a Rendezvous-like happening of its own, Saturday, Sept. 13, at the Friday Harbor fairgrounds, 3-7 p.m., featuring a
