Body ID’d, mystery lingers

‘Captured’ on film

Little known about last days of 51-year old software pro

By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

Islands’ Sounder Reporter

A man walks into a popular park in June. He has a tent and a backpack that includes only a few items and heads for a remote wooded area. He never leaves the park. His body is found months later. His death is a mystery and his life turns out to be shrouded in mystery. No one seems to know how the man got to Orcas Island or even his whereabouts for the last year. “We’ve run into a lot of dead ends,” San Juan County Coroner Randy Gaylord said. A fisherman found the decomposed human remains with a wallet in a collapsed tent located offtrail in a secluded area of Moran State Park, near the bridge over the Cascade Lake lagoon Sept. 6. On Sept. 16, the remains were positively identified as Mehmet Tokgozoglu, a 51-year-old design engineer born in Kansas, according to Gaylord. Although the body was severely decomposed and partially skeletonized, one hand was in good enough condition to pull fingerprints. Tokgozoglu worked for Raytheon, a defense contractor See LINGERS, Page 4

From the notourious to the imperiled, to the heartwarming and tragic, the 2nd Annual Friday Harbor Film Festival, Nov. 7-9, will feature 30 full-length documentaries and 13 short films about life in the Pacific Rim.

‘Barefoot Bandit’ story, one of three premeires at FH Film Fest By Emily Greenberg Journal reporter

This time three years ago the Barefoot bandit was on the run. After a series of risky, brazen thefts across the Pacific Northwest, including two planes, one each from Orcas and San Juan Island, a speedboat from Friday Harbor and another plane from Anacortes, complete with crash-landing at the Orcas Island Airport—local authorities were on the heels of Colton Harris-Moore. The notorious teenager, who became a pop-culture sensation, evaded arrest until 2011, captured in the Bahamas. Fast forward to today, where the story has been caught on film. “The Barefoot Bandit Documentary,” directed by Carly Bodmer, depicts

Harris-Moore’s two-year international crime spree and it will premiere at the second annual Friday Harbor Film Festival, Nov. 7-9. “Barefoot Bandit is an in-depth documentary,” said Lynn Danaher, director of the Friday Harbor Film Festival. “You get a real sense of where this very bright, misguided youth came from.” The Friday Harbor Film Festival strives to connect countries and communities across the Pacific rim. Its mission is to entertain, inspire and enlighten filmgoers to environmental issues, social concerns, efforts in activism and humanitarianism, and stories of grand adventure. “We’re all neighbors of the Pacific Ocean,” Danaher said. “What happens in Papua New Guinea can affect Alaska.” The films all have important stories to tell. In addition to the premiere of the “Barefoot Bandit,” two other full-length documentaries will be showcased for the first time at the film festival. “Fragile Waters,” a film by Rick Wood and Shari Macy, examines the perils faced by the plumSee FILM, Page 2

Midterm elections rarely draw the big-time voter turnout typical of a presidential election year. But with three contested county office races, including sheriff, and no fewer than six local property tax or bond measures on the Nov. 4 election ballot, San Juan County voters have plenty to pay attention to in the run-up to the 2014 general election. “That’s an unusual number,” Auditor Milene Henley said of the property tax measures. “No one would be affected by all six, of See ELECTION, Page 3

Stephen Foster Salsbury: May 31, 1950—Aug. 7, 2014 Stephen Foster Salsbury (age 64), was a highly regarded father, elder brother, uncle, and longtime resident of San Juan Island, Wash. He passed peacefully at home while appreciating the generous support of the community, on Aug. 7, 2014. His personal struggles with Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS), is foreshadowed by many unique lifetime achievements, and the loving memory he has left us with. Born on May 31, 1950 to Jean Claire and Allen Salsbury in Seattle, Wash., he was raised in an artistically minded home; with design, music, painting, nature, and family at the heart of education. He resided as an adult on San Juan Island, Twisp, Wash. (or over the mountains, as he would have said) and on “The Big Island” of Hawaii, building his own homes by hand for his family along the way, as well as improving and loving the land he built on. He was a talented carver, vegetable gardener, and canning/preserving expert—his soft dried mangoes and bananas were like none-other. He was a keeper-of-bees and farmer of bananas, and regularly shared both with neighbors and friends through the years. Stephen's passion for both the ocean and land was shown with his intricate knowledge of both native Hawaiian and Washington wildlife, and the care he gave to preserving the habitat that surrounded him. Whether it's an eagle flying overhead, a woodpecker mistaking our house for a dead

tree or an otter playing in the ocean, he always took a moment to take notice, appreciate, and be thankful. But more than anything, he was a wonderful father, brother, uncle and friend to any who crossed his path, his first passion was always his family and loved ones. He is survived by his caring daughter Leilani Simone Dyer of San Juan Island, brother Scott Salsbury, sister Susanna Salsbury (Thaddeus Krol), and nephews Zecca Stephen Salsbury Lehn and Javas Lehn. His family and close friends will remember him for his kind, loving, and gentle ways and the ever present positivity as he faced each new day. He is preceded in death by his loving mother and father. A private traditional Hawaiian ceremony was held for his immediate family. — Family of Stephen Salsbury

First of six brand new fire engines arrives The first of six shiny, new fire engines arrived at San Juan Island Fire and Rescue on the morning of Sept. 12. The new engines will replace five fire trucks that are nearly 30 years old, and satisfy an insurance industry requirement that penalizes policy holder’s when a community’s fire engines are more than ten years old. Two of the retiring fire engines will go to Shaw Island to aide fire suppression capabilities, and one

will serve as a shared emergency reserve engine for use on Orcas, Lopez, Shaw and San Juan Island. The remaining three will eventually be sold. By settling a bond debt ahead of schedule, the fire district was able to purchase the new fire engines without asking voters to raise their fire tax. They were built in Lyons, S. Dakota, and bought through General Fire Apparatus of Spokane, Wash.

The film takes place in the heart of the San Juan Islands, a melting pot for environmental research and preservation, and explores the interconnection between people, whales, water and fish. Profiling orca experts, fisherman, hatchery scientists and Native American tribal leaders, the film uncovers the community at work to prevent an ecological disaster. “Our film really centers on the San Juan Islands, the epicenter of the Southern Resident orcas’ range,” the film’s co-director Rick Wood said. “We need people to see the film, that’s the only way we’ll save the Southern residents and chinook salmon. There’s this tiny window of opportunity in which we can do what needs to be done.” “Material of the Future,” directed by Vern Moen, challenges the role plastic plays in daily life. Inspired

Guild backs challenger in sheriff campaign Deputy draws endorsement of rank-and-file in two-way race Journal staff report

The rank and file of the Sheriff 's Department have made their choice known. The San Juan County Deputy Sheriffs Guild Wednesday endorsed deputy Ron Krebs and his candidacy for San Juan County sheriff. An eight-year veteran of the local force and first-time sheriff 's candidate, Krebs is challenging the incumbent, Sheriff Rob Nou, a former department deputy elected to a first term in office in 2010. The Guild, which represents the department's deputies, detectives, sergeants, dispatch and corrections staff, 28 members in all, voted in overwhelming numbers to endorse Krebs, following a questions-and-answer forum with each candidate Monday, Sept. 15. A "small fraction" of guild members chose to abstain from the vote, including Krebs, according to a Sept. 17 guild press release. The rest of the

members voted in favor of Krebs. "We, the Guild, believe Ron Krebs will bring back community policing, citizen responsiveness, honesty and integrity, communication and moral into the San Juan County Sheriff 's Office," a Guild press release said. According to the guild, questions fielded by the two candidates involved missing and outdated policy and procedures, poor morale, multiple problems with patrol boats, dispatch safety and security concerns, communication issues, budget, weak relations within other county entities,

The Sheriff oversees a 35-person department and yearly budget of $4.9 million, including $2.7 million for department operations, $1 million for dispatch, $800,00 for Emergency Management and nearly $400,000 for the jail. At full staffing, the department consists of 21 deputies, detectives and field corrections officers, nine dispatch employees, and four other employees. Krebs moved to the San Juans and joined the department in 2006. A Marine Corps veteran, he is a past sheriff 's guild president, department representative on the Washington Council of Police and Sheriff 's, and is a field training officer and boater safety instructor. A former Oregon police chief who joined the department as a deputy in 2008, Nou drew the endorsement of eight members of the guild in the five-candidate 2010 sheriff 's race.

Gaylord worked with Snohomish Medical Examiner’s Office to positively match the prints. As for the cause of death, Gaylord said at this point it’s “undetermined.”

No evidence of foul play

“There was nothing about where he was found to make a conclusion that there was a suicide or some kind of improper death or homicide,” said Gaylord. “As to whether it was a natural death or an accident we can’t quite tell.”

“There are still a lot of unanswered questions.” — Randy Gaylord, , San Juan County Coroner

According to Undersheriff Bruce Distler, the San Juan County’s Sheriff ’s Office turned the case over to the coroner’s because they also concluded that it was not a homicide. “For instance, no weapons were found and there was nothing pointing to anything sinister,” said Distler. “At this point in time we don’t have an indication one way or another.”

Mystery in death, and in life

The facts that are known have been compiled from Tokgozoglu’s past. From interviewing the deceased man’s family members, a landlord and former employers, Gaylord has pieced together a patchy narrative. Tokgozoglu was born to a Turkish father, an orthopedic surgeon, and an

a storage unit. According to Gaylord, any history about Tokgozoglu after August 2013 could not be found. What is known is that Tokgozoglu pitched a tent in an isolated area near Cascade Lake close to a popular trail. He was only in the area for a night or two. “The site wasn’t trampled down like someone had been there long; there was no campfire, no food or trash,” said Gaylord. There was also no food found in the backpack or the surrounding area. Several bottles of water were found by the tent. Gaylord estimates that the man died in early June. A computer and a hard drive were found in Tokgozoglu’s backpack, but the computer was wet and would not start and the hard drive was encrypted. Deceased’s car missing Gaylord hopes the public might know something about Tokgozoglu or the location of a car registered to him—a green Toyota Camry with Texas license DS9 S617, which could hold more information. The car has not yet been found. “There are still a lot of unanswered questions,” said Gaylord.

It’s not a new tax.” In addition to county Prop. 1 and a school bond measure, Lopez Island voters will also weigh in on a new tax, a one-year “excess levy” that would generate $115,000 for the Lopez Solid Waste District. Voters on Orcas Island will cast votes for county Prop. 1 and a school property measure, for technology and facility upgrades, as well. On San Juan Island, voters will weigh in on county Prop. 1 and an extension and increase in the public hospital district’s property tax that funds emergency medical services (district boundaries include voters on San Juan’s nearby outer islands as well). Friday Harbor voters will help determine the fate of county Prop. 1 and the hospital district’s EMS levy, and will decide upon a proposed .02 percent sales tax increase, revenue from which would be used to fund transportation improvements in the town. There’s much at stake in the outcome of the November election, even if it is midterm.

Survey says? Town seeks public input on ‘branding’ initiative The Town of Friday Harbor is seeking public participation in a survey to help identify the perceived image of the town and provide direction for marketing the town as a place to live, grow a business, start a new business, and vacation. A four-week survey, nine questions, is available on the Town web site, www.fridayharbor.org, and at, bit.ly/ branding-fh, through Oct. 15. Anyone with interest in Friday Harbor can respond

to the survey; it is not limited to county residents. The survey is conducted by Roger Brooks International, the company selected to help coordinate the town Branding and Marketing initiative. “These survey results from the public will be the foundation of our project.” town Administrator Duncan Wilson said. “The input we receive will be instrumental in focusing our efforts going forward.”

To the rescue on Roche Harbor Road By Colleen Smith Armstrong Editor/Publisher

It was a beautiful August day and Doug Maya had just finished playing soccer with his girlfriend’s daughter, Jayna. As they drove down Roche Harbor Road in Friday Harbor, Maya noticed smoking coming out of an RV in a mobile home park. “At first it looked like someone was cooking or burning something,” he said. “But then I smelled it – and I know the smell of structure fire well.” As a San Juan County Sheriff ’s Deputy on Orcas and a volunteer firefighter, Maya immediately went into action. He looked inside and could see a pair of legs on the floor through the smoke. After yelling for the person to wake up, Maya went inside and pulled him out. After regaining consciousness, the

young man asked him to help his friend. Maya went back inside the RV, which was now fully engulfed in smoke, and assisted another man out. He then called 911. “I felt a little naked because I didn’t have any gear, but it was a small space with easy access – if things went sideways I could have gotten out,” Maya said. San Juan Island firefighters arrived at the scene shortly after, at about 3:20 p.m., and pulled a smoldering mattress and other simmering household items out of the RV, extinguishing the lot before any of it burst into flames. "There was quite a bit of toxic smoke coming off that mattress," San Juan Island Fire Department Assistant Chief Brad Creesy said. The two occupants were transported to Peace Island Hospital, evaluated and released. “Afterwards, I got back in the truck

OPINION Letters to the Editor

‘Elitist’ accusation misses the mark

To Journal readers: There was miscommunication involved in the situation concerning the future of Our Lady of Good Voyage Chapel at the Roche Harbor Resort. Many St. Francis parishioners received an email a few days ago, which was thought to represent the entire parish and administration, but it did not; it reflected the desires of some members of the Tarte family, who want the chapel to remain a consecrated space for Catholic worship during the summer season. When the resort was sold to non-Catholics, St. Francis parishioners realized it was likely there would be discussion concerning what the best use of the chapel might be, and in fact there is ongoing discussion at this time among the Archdiocese of Seattle, the Tarte family, and the resort. There is certainly no “elitist” mentality involved here. The worship services at the chapel have always welcomed anyone who wants to join us, and in fact thousands of visitors over the years have done so. Please notice that St. Francis Parish is not involved in the official discussions; there is no doubt a variety of feelings and opinions among our parishioners concerning whatever changes may be forthcoming.

Hail to keepers of island parks, trails

As someone who spends much of my free time exploring island trails, I want to thank Lee Taylor and all of her staff and volunteers at San Juan Island National Historical Park for their recent efforts. The ongoing prairie restoration work at American Camp reflects an active and thoughtful approach to land management that’s most welcome, and is the result of months of toil by many I’m sure. Coupled with the ongoing controlled burns on Mt. Young, the smooth transition to NPS management of the former DNR Mitchell Hill and private Westcott Bay properties, and many other less obvious initiatives, we on the island are blessed to have such gems of open space all around us, and are lucky that they’re in such good hands. Often it’s negative feedback that gets the most attention, but it feels important to appreciate the time and effort it takes to maintain some of these incredible resources that we might otherwise take for granted.

conversation that you had started 50 years ago. Sadly, out of a class of 20, three were no longer with us but they were there in our hearts, and three couldn’t make it but they were with us in our minds. I laughed, I cried and I remembered the most amazing times of my youth. I love you all so much. Part of this wonderful week included spending four days at the San Juan County Fair. During those four days I realized that, while many of the faces of the people I talked to have changed, what hasn’t changed is the friendliness of the islanders, and I realized that it is the people that create the magic of the islands. Everyone I talked to had a common goal, that is the care and concern for their community. Strangers became friends and friends became better friends, and I remembered Fairs of long ago, the smells, the fun and the safety. I am proud to be a 2ndgeneration islander, with a son who is a 3rd-generation islander and who gives so much to the community, and who loves it so much. My parents, Brian and Fern Ingoldsby, would be so proud, too. I want to thank my classmates for welcoming us all home. I plan to come back to the Fair next year and I hope that I can spend all four days meeting and making new friends. You all gave me one of the best weeks of my life, in a place that holds my heart.

By Emily Greenberg Journal Reporter

Honey bees, bumble bees and yes, even flies, are responsible for much of the local bounty celebrated in the month-long food and farm festivities known as Savor the San Juans. While each creature deserves honorable mention, the honey bee is in a class of its own. The art of beekeeping is not a casual sport, but requires attention to detail. Pesticides can cause bee populations to collapse. Creating a habitat conducive to foraging that enables bees to survive through the winter takes careful planning. Colleen Howe, of Mitchell Bay Farm and Nursery, an organic farm on San Juan Island, began keeping bees 35 years ago for their honey. She quickly realized they play a key role in her orchard's success. "People were having trouble with their fruits and I wasn't," Howe said. "That's when I realized it's such a benefit to have bees." Bees can be kept primarily for their honey, but the benefits extend far beyond. Howe grows and sells a variety of crops, including Asian pears and smooth-skin kiwis, both of which rely heavily on pollination. Credit goes not only to the honey bees, Howe said, but to the native bumble bees and flies as well. "If we want to eat it, it doesn't have to be pollinated by a honeybee," Howe said. "Even flies could do it. They never get any press. I've never seen a 'Save the Flies' t-shirt." Pesticides linked to hive collapse Major devastation struck Howe's hives in March. The bees were fine on a Friday and two days later thousands were dead. The rate at which they perished points to pesticides as the culprit. "Bees have a two mile comfortable range," Howe said. "There's a huge amount of landowners in between. Bees don't just die that quickly." A commercial grower and a homesteader growing nearly all of her own food, Howe recognizes the importance of helping the natural fertilization of plants along in anyway she can. Some suggest pesticides as the cause of major die-offs, both honey and bumble bees. That's why it's imperative to create a healthy habitat for all pollinators, Howe says, that means keeping areas unsprayed and un-mowed to promote foraging. Thirty-five years of beekeeping and farming on the island has given Howe a strong foundation of beekeeping knowledge. Skip a generation, and you'll find the craft still alive and well.

New keeper on the block Enter Brady Ryan, a charismatic 28 year-old born and raised on the island, that has taken entrepreneurial initiative on his parent's land, Ryan Family Farm. Ryan manages a small apiary where he founded San Juan Island Honey and San Juan Island Sea Salt. Ryan sells honey at local farmer's markets where tourists are a big part of the business. "People don't just want to take home a t-shirt," He said. "They want a taste of that place. Something that came from the land." Ryan studied math at the University of Washington, but gravitated toward the campus farm where he unearthed a passion for growing food. After graduating, Ryan worked at a vegetable farm in Snoqualmie Valley and moved on to Seattle's Ballard Bee Company, where he learned the beekeeping craft. Island harvested honey Honey is stabilized nectar, essentially, food that the bee's store for winter. For the bees, making honey is an intricate, complicated and sometimes volatile process complete with a queen, her loyal subjects, and virgins fighting to the death to claim the title as queen of the new clan. "It's very Romanesque," Ryan said. Honey is harvested in late July and early August. Ryan is careful to leave enough food for the bees to last the winter. "Surviving the winter is key," He said. "An established hive will produce closer to 35 pounds, and a new hive closer to 10." This year Ryan harvested an average of 18 to 20 pounds of honey per hive. He sold a total of 350 pounds this summer and has only 12 jars left as of Sept. 19. He plans to increase the number of hives each year at SJI Honey. Ryan has been stung by the beekeeping bug (and by bees themselves) and his passion for honey is unwavering. And for Colleen Howe, in spite of turbulence over the years beekeeping has stuck to her like, well, honey sticks to beeswax. "Once you get them you just want to keep them," Howe said. "Once you realize the whole cycle you learn to pay attention. They really make you more aware."

Join the Co-op Team! Orcas Power & Light Cooperative (OPALCO) is hiring as staff retirements and promotions create new job openings This is an exciting transition time at our local electric cooperative and there are a number of positions open as a natural cycle of retirements and promotions create new employment opportunities for the community.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the sellerâ€™s and buyerâ€™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€™s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To make a firewood complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx

In order for the owner to keep the vessel before the Custody Date, the owner must call the Coordinator below, get authorization to moor or anchor the vessel in its current location, move it to an anchorage area or moorage facility that is legal, or remove the vessel from the water. If the owner wishes to redeem the vessel once San Juan County has taken custody, or wants to challenge San Juan Countyâ€™s decision to take custody, the owner must file a written appeal with the Pollution Control Hearings board (PCHB) and serve a copy on San Juan County.

Wolverines topple Loggers in a rout; 43-6 By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

With a bit more muscle and a lot more speed, the Wolverines claimed their second win of the season in a 43-6 route at home, Friday, Sept. 19, over Darrington. Though they did yield yardage to a robust Loggers running attack, the Friday Harbor defense refused to break, holding the visitors scoreless until midway through the fourth period but with a victory already in hand. The win helped soothe a 6-point loss on the road the previous week at Concrete. "This was our redemption week," quarterback Peter Holt said. The defensive unit took the field with a bit of a chip on its shoulder. "We were fired up," said linebacker Gabe Lawson, who helped squash several Darrington NSWERS TO UZZLES drives with a pair

Friday Harbor improves to 2-1, hosts league-leading La Conner, Friday of sacks deep in the visiting team's backfield. "I think me and Kai (linebackers) led the team in tackles tonight, and that's the way it should be." The Wolverines shared the wealth on the scoreboard, with seven touchdowns scored by six different players, including a "pick-six" interception by defensive end Luke Stromberg. Track-and-field star Willie Blackmon lit up the scoreboard on the team's first possession with a 35-yard touchdown run, the first of two TD's in the senior’s first game of the season. Blackmon shredded the Darrington’s defensive front and left a score of Loggers in the dust on a 60-yard touchdown dash late in the second period. The Wolverines led 30-0 at the half. Juniors Thomas Synoground and Ben Ware joined Blackmon, Holt and Stromberg on the
