Short on supply, pot shop chills

Retail owners contend with lack of product By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

Center for Whale Research / Dave Ellifrit

The chin of the newest addition to the Southern Resident killer whales, L-120, rises out of the water off the west side of San Juan Island. The newborn brings the number of animals in population to 79, its lowest mark in 30 years.

Born under a bad sign? Whales welcome first calf in two years, but orcas at 30-year low By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

And, baby makes 79. A two-year drought came to a welcomed end Saturday, Sept. 6, as researchers with the Center for Whale Research spotted a killer whale calf off the west side of San Juan Island. Designated L-120 by the Center, keeper of the official yearly census of the Southern resident orcas, the calf is the first newborn to join the endangered population of killer whales since 2012. While its appearance offers some relief from a prolonged,

unusual absence of newborns, it comes at a time when the population, 79 orcas in all, has tumbled to its lowest mark in 30 years. Center Director Ken Balcomb points to the lack of salmon, Chinook in particular, and to dwindling returns to the Fraser River of the orcas preferred prey as the primary reason for the population’s downward spiral. Two orcas went missing over the past year and are presumed dead, L-53, a 53-year-old female, and L-100, a male born in 2001, according to the Center. “Poor Chinook years equal poor survival of whales, that’s the bottom line,” Balcomb said. “We’re not going to have these whales around if we’re not going to give them some fish.” Listed endangered in the U.S. in 2005, the southern residents consist of three tightly knit clans, known

as J, K and L pods. The population was declared endangered in the wake of a 20 percent decline in the mid 1990s. As of 2010, the population totaled 87 animals. The southern Residents also are designated endangered by Washington state and in Canada as well. Tragedy in family ties The newest member of L-pod, L-120, is the offspring of L-86, the third calf born to the 23-year-old female. She is mother of L-106, a 10-year-old male, and L-112, also known as Sootke, which died of injuries from an “unknown blunt trauma” in early 2012. The death of the otherwise healthy 3-year-old led to a highprofile necropsy and speculation among many that its injuries may have been caused by naval ammunition training off the See SIGN?, Page 4

If you’re looking to score some weed in the San Juan Islands, legally, that is, don’t hold your breath. It could take awhile. “Not a day goes by that I don’t run into someone asking when I’m going to be ready, wanting to know when I’m going to open up,” said Theron Soderlund, owner of Orcas Island’s sole state-sanctioned marijuana retail establishment, Token Herb. “But to open up badly is worse than not opening up at all.” While Token Herb holds the distinction of being the first-ever state-licensed pot shop in San Juan County–its business application was recently approved by the state Liquor Control Board--Soderlund said that maintaining consistent hours and keeping shelves stocked with a diversified, quality line of product would be difficult because access to legally grown marijuana remains problematic and in short supply in the islands and elsewhere. At this point, he said that the marijuana business in Washington state is somewhat of a “cart before the horse” kind of thing. On San Juan Island, retail potshop lottery winner Lawrence Industries is even further behind its Orcas Island counterpart. The company has yet to have its business license approved and is contemplating a change of address. The potential of relocation from 779 Mullis Street, the address on file in the company application with the state liquor board, creates a long list of business decisions, bureaucratic hurdles and possible

zoning issues with which to contend, Jim Lawrence said. “We’re looking over all our options and working on getting all our ducks in a row,” said Lawrence, who declined to speculate on an opening date. “It will happen but at this point it’s moving very slowly.” In 2012, voters in San Juan County, 68 percent, joined their counterparts across the state in approving Initiative 502, which legalized the recreational use and sale of marijuana (to adults), and tasked the state liquor control board with creating a system by which to license retailers, growers and processors. The county has so far been allocated a total of three retail establishments, one each See CHILLS, Page 4

A San Juan Island man who admitted to breaking into a home, theft of a loaded handgun and stashing it in a milk crate in the living room of the Friday Harbor apartment that he shares with his wife and young children was ordered to serve two years and four months in prison. On Aug. 20, Brian Michael Flierl, 35, pleaded guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of theft of a firearm, a Class B felony, and to one count of unlawful possession of a firearm, a Class C felony. He was sentenced Aug. 25 to a total of 28 months in confinement by Superior Court Judge pro-tem Glenna Hall, and was ordered to pay $400 in fines and fees. Prosecutors, in calling for a prison term at the upper end of the state-standard range of sentencing, note the theft of a firearm and its concealment where it might have been discovered by children demonstrate a disregard for the safety of others. The loaded revolver and its holster reportedly were visible through the milk crate in spite of a flower pot placed on top of it. A Class B felony, theft of a firearm carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000, or both; however, the standard range of sentencing set by the state is 15-20 months. The standard range for unlawful possession of a firearm is 3-8 months. Flierl was sentenced to 20 months for the theft and eight months for unlawful possession. Initially, Flierl, one of two San Juan Island men prosecuted for the May 22 break-in and theft of a loaded 9-mm Glock pistol and jar of coins, and a $20 bill, at a home near Lampard Road—unoccupied at the time—was also charged with first-

degree burglary, dismissed at sentencing. His alleged accomplice, Paul Guard, 25, earlier pleaded not guilty to first-degree burglary and theft of a firearm when arraigned in late June. He had been scheduled for trial Aug. 4. According to authorities, the two men were identified at the scene by footage from a surveillance camera, with audio-recording capacity, which was installed at the home following several earlier break-ins and thefts.

Work crew vanishing act prompts 17-month sentence

An Orcas Island man who checked out early and without permission from a shift on the Sheriff ’s Department work crew was sentenced to a 17-month prison term for felony escape. On Sept. 5, Robert Thomas Speers, 22, pleaded guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of second-degree escape, a Class C felony. He was sentence to 17 months in prison by Judge pro-tem Glenna Hall, and ordered to pay $600 in fines and fees. The standard range of sentencing set by the state for a second-degree escape conviction is 17-22 months in prison; maximum penalties are five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both. According to court documents, Speers was assigned to work crew as part of a sentence handed down for violating court orders on backto-back convictions in 2011 for bail jumping and for escape from community custody. Those violations followed a conviction and sentence two years earlier for possession of a controlled

substance. On Aug. 12, the day before the 2014 San Juan County Fair, Speers, while assigned to a work crew shift at the Friday Harbor fairgrounds, left the fairgrounds without permission at about 2 p.m. and boarded a ferry bound for Orcas Island. Deputies were notified of his disappearance by the work crew supervisor and Speers was taken into custody about two hours later at an apartment in Eastsound, which reportedly belongs to his mother. Work crew is an alternative sentencing program designed to reduce jail overcrowding by providing minimum risk offenders with an option to meet court obligations that can include: fines, program fees, community service, and jail sentences.

Tourism ‘hot spot’, San Juans declared endangered Leave No Trace workshops aim to help reduce impacts from recreation By Emily Greenberg Journal reporter

The Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics is sending its mobile team of educators to the San Juan Islands. Leave No Trace is a national non-profit organization that aims to protect the outdoors by teaching people how to enjoy it responsibly. “Many outdoor areas across our nation are negatively impacted by recreational use,” said Danielle Rowland, a Leave No Trace educator. “In most cases, it’s simply a lack of understanding or know-how of the ‘Leave No Trace’ ethics.” Leave No Trace identified the San Juan Islands as one of eight “endangered hotspots” in the nation, along with Little Talbot Islands State Park and St. Andrews State Park, Florida, New River Gorge National River, West Virginia, Shawnee National Forest, Illinois, Enchanted Rock State Natural Area and Lake Casa Blanca, Texas, and Hoosier National Forest, Indiana. These areas were designated “hotspots” based on the threat of irreversible environmental damage created by visitors. With more than 800,000 annual visitors, the San Juan Islands experience visitor-created impact such as littering, damage to vegetation and trees, trail erosion from walking in undesignated areas, and wildlife feeding. Based

on this criteria, Leave No Trace deemed the San Juan Islands a ‘hotspot’ and connected with the Bureau of Land Management to help the federal agency mitigate the impacts of recreational use. The Subaru-sponsored Leave No Trace Traveling Trainers Team is hosting free educational workshops throughout the islands Sept. 25-28. The public is encouraged to participate and learn the organization’s principles to help better protect and preserve the islands’ environment. The first half of each session will focus on integrating the organization’s outdoor skills and ethics into participant’s daily lives and businesses. The second half of the course provides participant’s with skills and strategies to impart the Leave No Trace methods to others, and promote change in visitor and employee behavior. According to Leave No Trace, so-called “Hot Spot” sites like the San Juan Islands can recover in spite of environmental damage. By implementing the Leave No Trace principles and skills imparted in the upcoming countywide workshops, organizers maintain that island landscapes and wildlife can be preserved and protected for generations to come. “We encourage as many people to come to this training as possible,” San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau Communications Manager Barbara Marrett said. “We’re not only inviting visitors to the islands, but educating them to be better stewards.” To RSVP for workshops, contact the San Juan County Parks, parks@sanjuanco.com, or 360-378-8420.

Wolf Hollow ‘kick starts’ for otter care Submitted by Wolf Hollow

Wolf Hollow has listed their second project with Loveanimals.org, a crowdfunding website that helps connect animal welfare and wildlife conservation nonprofits with donors. “We are very excited to be involved again with LoveAnimals.org” said Julie Duke, Executive Director at Wolf Hollow. “There are so many projects that we need funding for and in the past it has been difficult to reach a wider audience to help realize those needs.” Wolf Hollow was funded in 1982 and has provided care for nearly 12,000 injured and orphaned wild animals. Its mission is to

promote the well-being of wildlife and their habitats trough rehabilitation, public education and non-invasive research. Loveanimals.org was created so organizations like Wolf Hollow can access crowd-funding resources and reach the larger audience that is critical to the funding of its projects. With the help of Loveanimals.org in 2013, Wolf Hollow was able to raise the funds needed to rehabilitate two bald eaglets until they were ready to be released back into the wild.

It’s back; Leadership SJs Leadership San Juan Islands is preparing for its eleventh year strengthening leadership skills in the community related to governance, economics, social services, history and culture, education, and the environment. Applications for the county-wide program are now being accepted and are available at island libraries and open houses. Through a series of challenging days and retreats, participants learn more about their local community systems and themselves. The course begins in January and finishes in May. Space is limited to 20 students. The public are invited to attend these open houses to learn more about the program. Individuals and organizations willing to offer fiscal support are encouraged to come and ask questions about the significance of the program for our county.

According to the National Marine Fisheries Service, the federal agency tasked with helping the population rebound, the primary threats to survival of the southern residents are lack of prey, pollution and disturbance from vessel traffic. The federal government spent $15.7 million on behalf of the Southern residents and efforts to revive the population between 2003 and 2012. The plight of the population and its reproductive challenges (females of breeding age have fallen 20 percent and juvenile females by 21 percent since 2005), prompted renewed calls for greater protection from vessel traffic by Orca Relief. The San Juan Islandbased orca advocacy group has long-held that constant

on the mainland and in the islands about a future inventory. His vision for Token Herb, located on Crescent Beach Drive, is to offer locally grown and diversified products, such as edibles, oils and vapors, in addition to various strains of more familiar forms of marijuana. But until a reliable amount of inventory becomes available, he said a grand opening for the shop will have to wait. “If things loosen up on the mainland we might be able to open sometime around the end of the year or beginning of next” he said. “But at the moment, I’m just biding my time.”

Helen Doris Peckinpaugh: 1937—2014 Helen Doris Peckinpaugh, known by all as Doris, of Friday Harbor, Wash., passed away peacefully on Sept. 4. Doris was cremated and a private family gathering will be held at a later date. Donations in her honor can be made to the Christian Science Church of Friday Harbor. Doris was born April 17, 1937 in Atlanta, Ga., to Marvin and Cora McElwaney. She was the oldest of four children and grew up in the Atlanta area, where she met her husband of 56 years, Charles Leon (Charlie) Peckinpaugh. The couple moved to Southern California, where Charlie began his career as a nuclear engineer. Doris and Charlie had two boys, Timothy Lee (Tim), now an attorney living in the Washington, D.C. area, and Charles Matthew (Matt), now an architect living in Gig Harbor. In 1967, the Peckinpaugh family moved to the Tri-Cities Contributed photo (Kennewick) where Doris worked as a school teacher and Doris Peckinpaugh Charlie worked at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation for several years before being transferred to South Carolina. After 10 years in South Carolina, Doris and Charlie returned to Washington state in 1998, retiring to San Juan Island, living on the beautiful west side just north of the Lime Kiln lighthouse. In addition to being a loving wife to her husband and loving mother to her two sons, Doris was a reading teacher to elementary school students, and a school librarian. She was devoted to her church, the Christian Science Church in Friday Harbor, where she did the gardening. Doris loved reading, the arts, flowers, fashion and clothes, a room with a view (especially of crashing waves), and Coca-Cola with lime.

Donation by Soroptimists helps put food on local families plate San Juan County received an additional $2,400 in fruits and vegetable vouchers for island families this summer with the help of Soroptimists International of Friday Harbor, the local chapter of the organization which aims to improve the lives of women and girls. The Women, Infant and Children Supplemental Nutrition Program, a USDA program administered through County Health and Community services, collaborated with the SIFRI to provide special vouchers to be spent at local farmers’ markets, in addition to the regular food vouchers qualifying families receive. Thanks to the donation by the SIFRI, 30 San Juan Island families had their WIC checks doubled, to $40 each, and another 45 families received $40 vouchers

Krebs for sheriff; leads by example

I am voting for Ron Krebs for San Juan County Sheriff. I first came in contact with Ron as a Middle School Parent. I was drama instructor at Friday Harbor Middle & High School. His concern, kindness and unconditional support for his kid made a huge impression on me. I knew him as a parent who wanted to connect with his kid. Over the next several years, I observed significant and positive motivational changes in the student. Ron remains one of the most committed parents I have met in my 27 years here. I believe in his ability to “police” our community— to lead by example—to show compassion—understanding—restraint—and at the same time, be a tough cop. We met for lunch several months ago at my request and had an excellent conversation about the role of a Sheriff in a small community as we have. When we elect a Sheriff, we should make that decision not just to maintain a status quo level of comfort and security; we should elect a person who will embed deeply into our community; reach out to young folk; bring people and interest groups together; show a visibility not just as a cop, but a community volunteer (Ron is a volunteer EMT); and above all —motivate his department to work as a team to insure our communities’ safety and well-being.

Publisher Colleen Smith Armstrong publisher@sanjuanjournal.com Office Manager Frances Bacon fbacon@sanjuanjournal.com Circulation Manager Joanna Massey, 376-4500 jmassey@soundpublishing.com

Wearing that badge is not just about law and order, it’s about listening to a constituency. When Ron is elected, I hope to work with the Sheriff ’s Dept. to help communicate positively with teens and develop programs that involve kids in community support. I will happily commit to a renewed connection to the Sheriff ’s Dept. in any way that helps our community come together. When Ron is elected, I look forward to a feeling of happy confidence when I see a Sheriff ’s vehicle, and I look forward to knowing that Ron Krebs will most likely show up as private citizen at many of the community events I and my family attend.

Benefits of Relay for Life are real

For the past 14 months I have been undergoing chemotherapy at Peace Island. There, two things that have helped monumentally: community support and constant new research funded largely by the American Cancer Society. I am asking the community to do one more thing for me and all those fighting cancer now and in the future. Please attend the Relay for Life fundraiser for the American Cancer society on Sept. 27 at the Fairgrounds from 3-11 p.m., and show us your support. There are many in our community that would benefit. After my first round of chemo, cancer came back in a different area. Without

Foundation helps causes that count

Recently, the Journal has run a series of ads from the San Juan Island Community Foundation highlighting its activity in this community. Most people are aware of the Foundation’s pivotal role in gathering donations to build a hospital and 24-hour emergency department services for our island (and county!). Less well known is the Foundation’s involvement in support of practically invisible services geared toward those least able to advocate for themselves: those near the end of their life and the people who care for them. Many people are able, through the Community Foundation, to support the work of Hospice of San Juan, an entirely volunteer organization that provides care and comfort for those at the end of life, as well as needed respite for their caregivers. A vital component of Hospice’s program is to train all volunteers so that care they provide in people’s homes is as current and safe as possible. This coming year, in addition to volunteer training, Hospice of San Juan will embark upon a new education program open to the entire commu-

Time of our lives, and fond farewell

Our family of three moved to Friday Harbor just after 9/11. It was a time of upheaval in the country, and transition at the Inter Island Medical Center. For our daughter, Eva, the fresh start in a smaller community, in the middle of high school, was liberating. She thrived in her roles with the community theater, restarted the high school literary magazine, and enjoyed many close and, hopefully, life-long

We have seen the community grow stronger in many ways during our time here. Ideas that started with a few spirited participants have grown into fixtures of island life: The Prevention Coalition, Brickworks, Peace Island Medical Center, and the Island Museum of Art. It is life-affirming to live in a place where ideas matter, and where the hard work of many can create true change. For that we are grateful.

Reservations about reservations? At the door Sure, some will benefit, but others, he rains will come. Temperatures will drop. Skies will turn grey and in a couple of months from now someone, while trying to fight off the chill, will no doubt take a poke at climate change. “Geeez… it’s cold, so much for climate change!” A little humor never hurts. But if you still think climate change is a joke, or that what’s happening across the globe (think coral reefs, snowpack and ocean acidification, to start) is simply some kind of cyclical twist in Mother Nature’s grand scheme or bag of tricks, then think again. Better yet, track down the story about Washington state’s shellfish industry. There, you’ll discover how a multi-million dollar resource-dependent enterprise that employs 3,000-plus people statewide can be brought to its knees by “corrosive” sea water laden with carbon, how hard-working, thrifty, conservative-minded businessmen and businesswomen become believers, and how science, and private-public partnerships, can figure out a way to change, adapt and find solutions to complex, daunting problems before it’s too late. Kudos to the coalition of local public agencies, civic groups and non-profits that sponsored the 2014 summer climate change lecture series, “Climate Action Imperative,” led in large part by the Madrona Institute, San Juan Island National Historical Park and the Stewardship Network. The day of the Sept. 10 series finale began with an alarming presentation by Bill Dewey of the Taylor Shellfish Company, and ended with a panel discussion. The take away? Together we can find solutions, and inaction is not an option. Here, here.

e seem to be moving inexorably towards a reservation system on San Juan Island, but I still have some questions that nag me. I’ve raised these in the past with members of the committee studying the issue but every time I do, I keep getting told that it’s inevitable because the legislature gave the system its marching orders years ago and this is going to happen no matter what we want. Still, these questions nag me, so let me lay them out one at a time. • Why are we doing this? This won’t save money, in fact, the software management, infrastructure changes, and extra personnel needed to manage the system and the parking will cost more, not less. In this day of limited funds, why? • From the traffic light above the ferry terminal in Anacortes to the ticket booth is one lane, how will the cars with reservations get to the Contributed photo ferry in time if they can’t go Greg Hertel around? I was told that there

is no money to address this issue. • I will need a reservation both ways so if I go off-island on a Friday, how will I get back in the summer when 95 percent of the tickets have already been sold? • If a ferry breaks down, what about the people with reservations who miss their sailing? Will they have priority on the next boat, bumping more people off, or will they simply lose them? • How will I access the system without a smart phone or from one of the many cell dead areas on the island? (Good luck with that reservation change from Lakedale!) • How will we keep the hospitality businesses from booking many slots in advance for their customers? • This is supposed to be free but I don’t see it staying that way for long. The price will go up when the real costs become evident. We will quickly become a two-tier system for the haves, and for the have nots. See RESERVATIONS?, Page 8

US Constitution: does it matter anymore? By Friends of the Constitution, San Juan Island, Steering Committee Special to the Journal

T

he Preamble to the United States Constitution, adopted on Sept. 17, 1787, reads, “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America”. A less than perfect document, the Constitution did not extend voting rights to landless citizens, women, Native Americans, and blacks. However, Article V provided for “Amendments to this Constitution” that have corrected many of the faults. Article VI reads, “This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding”. Importantly, all federal officials take the oath: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and

Trading away our rights and freedoms is a steep prices to pay for the sake of security domestic.” Despite the unambiguous language, and the general adherence to the Constitution, egregious abuses have occurred. As examples, President Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War and President Roosevelt interned those of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast in 1942. However, respect for the Constitution was fundamentally altered following the criminal destruction of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. In pursuit of the amorphous and endless “War on Terror,” the administrations of presidents Bush and Obama, with the approval of Congress, have fostered a climate of perpetual fear under the pretense of “National Security,” a climate which neither the press nor the courts are willing to challenge. The federal government has adopted a culture whereby everyone is guilty until proven innocent. The list is long and damning. Examples include: government sponsored torture; the National Security Agency’s warrantless surveil-

lance of all forms of communications between millions of innocent citizens; the militarization of the police; the establishment of no-protest zones, the suppression of freedom of the press; racial profiling; world-leading incarceration rates; the National Defense Authorization Act that allow the military to arrest and indefinitely detain without trial U.S. citizens accused of a “belligerent act,” or any “terrorrelated” offense; illegal and undeclared wars of choice against Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Syria; and drone attacks on the sovereign countries of Yemen, Pakistan, and Somalia.

Reservations?: Cont. page 7 • How will the system accommodate a fam-

ily with last minute playoffs, appointments, and illnesses? The last question really gets at the heart of this issue for me. I see the reservation system benefiting the tourist industry, the retiree, the professional who lives here part-time, but this benefit comes at the expense of the working families who live here and are the core of our community. They aren’t represented on the study committee. Much of their travel is spur of the moment. “First come, first served” has always been the great leveler, the democratic way that is the tradition of our community. It hasn’t stopped the high number of visitors from

coming this past summer, or any summer in memory. Our community will lose out when the reservation elite move to the head of the line next year. Of course, that’s assuming that reservations work. I’ve lived here long enough to remember some other great ideas, like the computer-controlled ferries that would save money because they would require fewer personnel to operate. Then there was the “pre-sold ticket line” that was supposed to save money because it would require fewer personnel. And, don’t forget the wave-togo turnstiles for walk-ons that would save money because it would require fewer personnel to man them. I see a pattern here. — Editor’s note: Retired high school science teacher and longtime San Juan resident Greg Hertel is a locally elected public official

they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.”

n the heat of the day at San Juan Vineyards, as the afternoon sun ripens the grapes for the upcoming harvest, winemaker Chris Primus is on his knees on the cold, wet cellar floor fixing the busted pump he needs to prepare his 2012 red wines for bottling. “If something breaks you have to fix it yourself,” Primus said. “There’s no wine supply store on the island or even within driving distance.” The red wines have been aging in barrels for two years, getting softer and taking on oaky characteristics. They’ll be in bottle soon, just in time for the 2014 harvest to begin. San Juan Vineyard grows two white varieties on their estate, Siegerrebe and Madeleine Angevine. They will be trucking in Pinot Gris and Riesling grapes from the Yakima Valley to crush this year, but won’t be purchasing any red grapes as the vineyard and winery is for sale and they have enough red wine in inventory to supply the demand for reds. Siegerrebe is of German origins and makes for a smooth, full-bodied wine. Madeleine Angevine originates from the Loire Valley in France, this grape has characteristics similar to Sauvignon Blanc, with a low acidity, and does well growing in cool climates like San Juan Island. Primus is especially excited about this year’s crop of Madeleine Angevine. “We had a crop failure last year of the Madeleine,” he said. “There was record rain fall and horrible yellow jackets. We haven’t made any since 2012, which sold out in July.” As the harvest approaches San Juan Vineyard is planning a harvest festival as part of Savor the San Juans, a month long celebration of the islands local bounties. Volunteers can come help with picking and taste the grapes that will soon become the 2014 estate wines.

Picking will be followed by food, wine, door prizes and a complimentary bottle of wine once the process of bud break to bottle is complete next year. “This is always a fun day,” said Yvonne Swanberg, owner of San Juan Vineyards. “It’s a great way to experience agriculture.” The event is set for September 28 with harvesting of the Siegerrebe grapes. 2014 has just been an excellent year for growing grapes with an early spring and a warm summer. It’s going to be a successful harvest “as long as the rain holds off.” Rain can be detrimental when it comes to harvesting wine grapes and it always seems to come at harvest time, when the grapes need the sun to reach optimal ripeness. Rain causes the grapes to take on water, dilutes flavors, and disrupts sugar and acidity levels. Primus checks the weather constantly and, if he can, harvests fruit before the rain falls. The weather so far has been ideal. “The flavor is still too green and the acid is too high. They’re just not ready yet,” he said. What sets Primus apart from other winemakers is that he also manages the vineyard. He came to San Juan Vineyard in 2006, bringing his experience and knowledge from small wine growing operations in Oregon. Between pruning, spraying, canopy making and other vineyard management projects, it’s been a busy year among the vines. Once the fruit starts coming in Primus anticipates 50 to 60 days of intensive labor, where its common to feel run down physically and mentally, all for the love of making wine. “Its like graduation,” Primus said. “The grapes come in, they’ve done their work, and their potential is limitless.”

Lopez Island Vineyard tentative harvest party: Saturday, September 27, 9-1 p.m. Upick followed by food, wine and celebration. “The grapes look fantastic so far this year. It’s been a great summer,” said Debbie Davidson, tasting room manager.

Seven lucky cats arrive at APSFH Emily Greenberg Journal reporter

Seven new lazing, purring, mewing and scratching cats have arrived at the Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor. Because of a cat-hoarding incident that resulted in the rescue of 48 felines by Pasado’s Safe Haven in Sultan, Wash., APSFH received these seven healthy, adoptable animals to help free up space at Pasado’s shelter. All of the cats received by APSFH are in good health and are beginning to already adapt to island life. “I’m shocked at how calm and personable they all are,” Rina Tappen, animal care supervisor at APSFH said. “It usually takes the animals a little while to warm up.” With the help of the Humane Society of the United States and neighboring shelters like APSFH, all 48 cats have been accommodated at Pasado’s, where many of them are being rehabilitated because of poor health conditions caused by a dirty, crowded living environment. Many of Pasado’s cats had to be relocated to high-kill shelters in order to accommodate the incoming flux of felines, but the lucky seven moved to APSFH face no threat of termination. APSFH is a no-kill shelter, where animals can live out the rest of their lives if need be. Still, APSFH doesn’t see that happening with the new arrivals. One cat has been adopted and the remaining six are as different as they are colorful. From independent, shy gentlemen to feisty, fearless ladies, there’s a cat to suit many different homes. “If an animal has been here one year and has medical prob-

lems they become permanent residents,” Tappen said. “All that came in are healthy and full of personality. We just had one adopted an hour ago after being here only three days.” APSFH houses up to 30 cats at any given time with an average of between two and three adoptions per month. The cost of housing one cat at the shelter is between one and three dollars per day which includes food, litter and employee pay-rates. “These were the nicest cats we’ve ever received,” APSFH administrative coordinator Jan Murphy said. “I couldn’t believe it.” The animal shelter is open Tuesday-Sunday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., for those interested in adopting or visiting the animals.

Portrait of a local composer San Juan Community Theatre will host a screening of the documentary “Shining Night,” a portrait of composer Morten Lauridsen, with a performance by the Northwest Repertory Singers Saturday, Sept. 20 at 7:30 p.m. Shining Night, a film by Michael Stillwater, received the “Audience Favorite” award at the 2013 Friday Harbor Film Festival. The film reveals the composer through a love for silence and solitude, accentuated by a passion for music and literature. It explores Lauridsen’s relationship with art, nature and spirituality. Lauridsen recently moved to San Juan Island after living for years on Waldron Island. He is one of the most frequently performed

choral composers in the country and a recipient of the National Medal of Arts, the highest award given to patrons of the arts by the United States government. The Northwest Repertory Singers are a choral ensemble with a special relationship to the composer. After performing one of his pieces at the American Music Masterpiece in Seattle, NWRS Founder and Director Paul Shultz recalls Lauridsen saying that “it was the finest performance of Dirait-on [from his Les Chansons des collection] he’d ever heard.” The showcase is sponsored by Whidbey Island Bank; tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for students. SJCT box office is open Tues-Fri, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The IMA experience – what’s the deal? By Charlie Bodenstab IMA executive director

The obvious visual impact of the new IMA museum going up on Spring Street in Friday Harbor sparks speculation about what to expect once the building is completed. Some have questioned whether the new museum will be “elitist,” wondering if this venture will be beyond the reach of many local residents. Nothing could be further from the truth. The primary objective of the new IMA museum will be to bring world class, exciting art to the local population of San Juan County—exhibitions seen recently in major metropolitan museums throughout the country, and even the world. These exhibitions will be totally free of charge to the public! The facility will house three exhibition spaces: so far simply named the Atrium, Central and North Galleries, plus a large, open and bright artist workshop area upstairs. The three galleries can be used either separately or combined to provide flexibility to accommodate; the visiting exhibitions, local artists, school exhibits, and a variety of fun and educational local events. There will be no show fee for local artists who display in the museum; however, the artist will be expected to follow a protocol for judging, and displaying their work. The upstairs studio will allow us to hold year-round seminars taught by accomplished instructors, both local and national in reputation, in a wide range of artistic methods. Some of these will be “high-end” affairs, but there will be a large part of the calendar dedicated to workshops at many

degrees of affordability. The construction cost of the museum, including the purchase of the land and the old EMS facility, will be approximately $3.25 million. This is not a small number, but to put it into perspective, it is about one-fifth of the cost of similar museums built in the Seattle area in the past five years. Nevertheless, IMA will have close to the same square footage of “mission critical” space. In true San Juan Islands tradition, we are building something that has an outstanding “bang for the buck.” Our new building very intentionally departs from the “traditional” look of Friday Harbor architecture. The new

Excessive exposure to The Journal has been linked to increased community engagement and overall personal awesomeness.

WARNING Real Estate for Rent San Juan County

IMA is a visual arts museum and the building, both outside and in, is a huge part of the overall visual arts immersion. To have constructed a structure that captures a more traditional “San Juan Island look” would have been a disservice to the museum's artistic mandate—to bring a world class art experience to San Juan Island. IMA will be open for a warm-up series of events in November. Our grand opening in February 2015 features the extraordinary, world famous glass sculptures of William Morris. Come join us for the IMA Experience.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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

Prep sports roundup Hurricanes blank boys soccer team in opener

The Wolverines renewed their oldest boys soccer rivalry on Saturday afternoon, taking on the Hurricanes of Mount Vernon Christian for the first time since 2005. The game picked up right where the two teams left off almost 10 years ago, with a back-and-forth contest in the first half, with neither team really able to gain an upper hand. The second half seemed like it would be more of the same until the 51st minute when the Hurricanes leading goal scorer, Tyler Houtsma, picked up a loose ball in the box and slotted it into the far corner. The goal proved to be a shot in the arm for the back-to-back defending league champs, who scored again five minutes later with Houtsma picking out another loose ball. It was the standout seniors 5th goal in only two games this season, (picking up on a 2013) that saw him tally 23 goals and 21 assists. Friday Harbor had its chances, but a few narrow misses and some superb saves by Hurricanes keeper Riley Hood kept the visitors off the board. While the loss dropped Friday Harbor to 0-1 on the season, the Wolverines drew positives from play-

The Wolverines will face the Hurricanes again at home Oct. 7. They face Shoreline Christian Sept. 22 in their home opener.
