Wanted: animal control officer

Woman perishes in Orcas hot tub

Group claims cases of neglect and abuse deserve more priority

By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

More people. More animals. Tighter spaces. That’s the reality of the landscape in the San Juan Islands today and, according to a local animal advocacy group, it’s a combination that demands a greater level of awareness, training and dedication to the cause of animal protection than local law enforcement is presently equipped or inclined to provide. “Washington state has many animal laws in place but enforcing them requires education and some basic resources that I feel our current law enforcement team does not have available to them,” Jennifer Rigg of the San Juan Island Animal Task Force said. Members of Task Force, founded in late 2012 and largely in response to several incidents of perceived animal abuse or neglect, called on the County Council last week to pick up the cause of instituting an animal control officer in the Sheriff ’s Department, or to help boost the level of training among deputies in situations where an animal’s well-being is at risk. They found a sympathetic ear See OFFICER, Page 3

Town officials say branding initiative is about attracting more businesses, better jobs and more year-round residents to Friday Harbor, and not about bringing more visitors in the summer season, as shown in photograph above.

Branding? Here’s the scoop

A 29-year-old Oregon woman died of an apparent drowning in a hot tub at a Deer Harbor home, Sept. 30, in mid-afternoon. Sheriff ’s deputies, emergency medical personnel and firefighters responded to the westside Orcas Island home after receiving an emergency call at about 3:15 p.m. Amanda May Ferguson, a Portland-area resident vacationing on the island with a friend at the time, was unconscious and unresponsive when the team of See HOT TUB, Page 4

Town leaders talk about details, goals of new branding initiative By Emily Greenberg Journal Reporter

The ferry comes in and there’s gridlock on Spring Street. There’s no place to park and bodies swarm the downtown area. It’s nearing the end of the summer season—and although tourism is the backbone of the town’s economy, people seem to be at wits end with the influx of visitors. The branding initiative, when thought of in terms of attracting more tourists to the peak season, is a frightening thought—and a false one. “Many parts of our infrastructure were pushed to its limits this summer,” said Town of Friday Harbor Administrator Duncan Wilson, who’s heading the branding plan. “We don’t need to put any more money into summer tourism–we’re full.”

Sales deadline

Increasing tourism however, is not entirely untouched in the plan to brand Friday Harbor. An important factor in the strategy will be gaining a steady flow of visitors year round, to take pressure off businesses that have a few short months to make money for the entire year.

Big dreams, little boat, portly dog

By Emily Greenberg Journal Reporter

Officer:

Continued from page 1 in council Chairman Rick Hughes, who vowed to make space for the group on a future council agenda. Hughes encouraged the Task Force to also elicit support of animal protection organizations elsewhere in the islands for what would be, for the council, a countywide proposition. The Task Force is circulating a petition in support of its cause. “There’s definitely an interest in finding a solution to this, at least from my perspective,” Hughes said. Sheriff Rob Nou acknowledges the department has no designated animal control officer at this time. Former undersheriff Jon Zerby had that departmental assignment for 13 years before retiring from the force in mid-2012. Zerby said he had no formal training in animal control prior to taking on the role. Nou said the number of calls the department receives about abuse or neglect would not justify the disruption or expense of training the department’s 20 sworn officers in ani-

mal control, which would require a two-week course at the state academy for each. The department historically has relied on assistance of local veterinarians when such cases arise, he said. Nou said he is “not adverse” to have deputies trained in animal control and noted they respond regularly to nuisance complaints about involving animals, primarily dogs. Still, Task Force members contend several recent situations of neglect or abuse have not drawn the attention of law enforcement that they deserve. Rigg said local animal shelters regularly receive calls from people who mistakenly believe that a shelter can intervene on behalf of an animal when it may be at risk. “They don’t have the authority to investigate or uphold the laws,” she said. “That job is with the sheriff ’s department.” But because the department lacks proper procedures, Rigg said, or lacks an officer trained for such cases, calls made directly to the sheriff ’s department have not been made a “pressing” priority. San Juan County and the Town of Friday Harbor each

pickup truck, which, as far as pickups go, is tiny, too. Even though the Patterson’s stand tall, he at 6-foot 5-inches, she at 5-foot 10-inches and their dog weighs about 85 pounds, there are no plans for a bigger boat. “We sacrifice space to gain simplicity,” he said. “If we made the boat bigger we would need a bigger trailer, bigger pickup, and have elevated camping and moorage fees. We would be doing something else than just going.” The beauty of the boat is that the Pattersons don’t have to drive it in the water to get to wherever they are going, and they’re happy to camp on land or sea. The San Juans, Alaska, Lake Tahoe, the Columbia and Snake rivers--there are big plans for this little boat. The key to their success, however, has little to do with the seaworthiness of the boat-but the strength of their relationship. “If you’re in a small boat and it’s raining with a dog and you’re not getting along,” he said, “you’re really not getting along. Everything you do has to be with other person’s best interest at heart.” have an arsenal of laws that apply to dangerous dogs and potentially dangerous dogs, as well as laws directed at animals that create a public nuisance, such as dogs running loose or that bark incessantly. Situations of alleged animal abuse or neglect, however, which generally fall under criminal codes, can be time-consuming and require expertise in gathering evidence to bring a case to prosecution, according to veterinarian Michelle Loftus, a Task Force associate. “How long can you leave

a dog in a hot car? What’s the temperature outside?” Loftus said. “As our first responders, deputies need training to recognize and to be able to define animal abuse or neglect.” Zerby believes the department would benefit from having an officer dedicated to animal control, even if only part-time. In addition to working cases or following up on complaints, that officer might also help generate revenue to support either the position or the See OFFICER, Page 4

2014

Two big people and one big dog are puttering around the islands this month on a 13-foot, restored, 1950 vintage ski boat. The Big Dipper, the only “pocket yacht” of its kind, is Jeff and Linda Patterson’s pride and joy, their window to the world, so to speak, and a venture in adaptability. “Flexibility is really important for us,” Jeff Patterson said. “We want to see a lot of places and do a lot of things, but we don’t want to put a lot of money into it.” The Patterson’s rescued the Big Dipper in 1998. It sat on a trailer off the street, full of planted Azaleas. They bought the boat for $50, planted the flowers in their yard and began restoring the boat. Step back in time to 1978, where Jeff was on the verge of entering architectural school. That year he and his father came to the San Juan Islands on a sailing trip. A broken engine and a stop-over in Friday Harbor would change his life forever. Patterson apprenticed under yacht designer Jay Benford-whose philosophy was to design boats that were affordable to maintain and own. However, he went on to study criminology and became a reserve officer in the islands before returning to Oregon and finding the Big Dipper. Somewhere along the way, Linda and Jeff got married and in the early 2000s returned to the islands, where the Big Dipper functioned as a crabbing boat. Over the years Jeff became a sheriff ’s deputy on Orcas Island and Linda worked as a dental hygienist. Now semi-retired, the Patterson’s presently enjoy a life of travel, creativity (she’s an artist and writer, he’s a potter) and construct small pond yachts in Ashland, Ore. At this year’s Wooden Boat Festival in Port Townsend, they happened upon a tiny boat like theirs, but this one had a cabin top. Jeff went to work immediately designing and building a cabin for the Big Dipper. “I built it in eight weeks and lost 20 pounds,” he said. “We wanted to get it done so we could have some time out on the water this fall.” And so they have it. The tiny boat relaunched three weeks ago and was then trailered up to the San Juans behind their

Scoop: Continued from page 1 ‘Savor the San Juans,’ and the Friday Harbor Film Festival in November, attract people here during the shoulder season, a time of year when the town ought not to be overrun by visitors, but not overlooked by them either. Perhaps most critically, the strategy is intended to attract new businesses and long-term residents to the island. “We still have empty storefronts,” Mayor Carrie Lacher said. “We want to bring back the middle class and make it healthy and sustainable.” Both Wilson and Lacher noted dwindling class sizes and an all time low kindergarten enrollment–which points to a hole in demographics, 19-35 year olds, the age category most likely to start a family. By branding, the hope is that a professional community will develop, and living wages for young people can become a year-round reality. According to Lacher, the town “branding” should really be called “community image building.” The initiative has three main tactics–to come up with a vision statement, a tagline, and a logo. Through the branding development committee, made up of town council members and business owners, and the results from the ongoing branding survey,

Friday Harbor’s core values will be assessed and implemented into a model. Once in place, decisions made by the town officials will be within the parameters of this “brand,” and marketing done by the visitors bureau will also adhere to the brand’s principles. “We don’t want to create a cutesy place or have a strict design code,” Wilson said. “We’re not Leavenworth.” Leavenworth has a successful model, Wilson said, but it’s not what Friday Harbor needs or wants. Both Wilson and Lacher want Friday Harbor to reach beyond tourism as an economic platform by encouraging new industry. Tech, telecommunications, medical research, and agriculture industries coming here would create yearround living wages, construction and real estate spikes, and ultimately rebuild the community for all ages. Down the line the town will identify a plan on how to reach out to appropriate businesses that are looking to find a new home, or invest in the state of Washington. So fear not–there won’t be more national campaigns to come and enjoy scenic, historic Friday Harbor (well, no more than there already are), and there certainly won’t be any Orca whale garbage cans lining the sidewalks. “The last thing I want is for us to become commercialized or Disney-fied,” Lacher said. “I live here, too.”

Continued from page 1 public safety personnel arrived at the scene. According to the San Juan County Sheriff ’s Department, the person that made the emergency call immediately began trying to revive the woman, without success, after pulling her out of the hot tub. Emergency personnel were unable to resuscitate the woman after they arrived as well, the Sheriff ’s Department said.

Deputy Prosecutor Amy Vira of the county prosecuting attorney’s office, which doubles as county coroner, said Ferguson was alone in the hot tub at the time she was found unconscious by a friend. About one hour had elapsed since she was last seen alive and well in the hot tub, according to Vira. Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord said Monday, Oct. 6, that local officials should know about whether other factors may have contributed to the death of the 29-yearold woman after results of autopsy are compiled and reviewed. An autopsy was performed by the Snohomish County Medical Examiner, he said. Gaylord said that drowning is the official cause of death pending results of the autopsy, which are expected in about six weeks.

Joyce Margaret Graham: 1941—2014 Joyce Margaret Graham, 73, passed away Wednesday, Oct. 1. She was born Aug. 29, 1941 in Tacoma, Washington, and was adopted by the late Jeffries and Violet Hamilton, growing to adulthood in Longview, Wash. Joyce spent many years as a hair stylist, retiring 10 years ago to her home on Camano Island, Washington. Joyce and her husband, Wes, enjoyed numerous cruises to Alaska and the Mexican Riviera, both favorite destinations. Year-around “camping” in their motorhome brought them often to beautiful locations in Washington and Oregon, where they shared precious moments together and with family and friends. Joyce was a Mentor Mom to dozens of young mothers of preschoolers, meeting at the Camano Chapel weekly to help grow their walk in life and to encourage their spirituality as well. She is deeply loved by her Church Family. Surviving family includes her soul mate and husband of 14 years, Wes Graham, her three sons Jeffries, Mark, Michael, and two daughters, Wendy and Nicole. She is also survived by three sisters, Marian Hancock, Linda Fish, and Peg Ferguson, four brothers Mike Lee, Jeff Lee, Paul Lee, and Steve Lee. Joyce was the proud grandmother of eleven grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Joyce had many passions that ranged from her crafts (quilting, card making, sewing, and knitting), lounging on the deck with Daisy, or lying in bed watching TV while

OPINION Letters to the Editor

Survey allows for stacked data deck

I am concerned about the Town of Friday Harbor’s branding survey for reasons that call the survey’s validity into question. First, the questionnaire offers ample opportunity to complete it as many times as a reader likes and make things up along the way. I filled it out twice and assume I could keep at it ad infinitum. Since the survey is anonymous, I would probably lie about my age. So, it looks easy to stack the data to skew the results, which in turn renders the outcome useless. Let’s say hypothetically that 10 county residents think “eco-tourism” on a grand scale would be a moneymaker. If each one did the survey 10 times, we would have a compelling assortment of corrupt information. Second, the survey may be completed by anyone on any of the islands or anywhere else. Living in the town of Friday Harbor doesn’t lend your views any more weight than would be given to someone from Lopez or Seattle. Third, the survey wants gender and age but not occupation or any other demographic information. Why? Fourth, respondents are told not to include “the people” as a strength because everybody knows that. Ditto “the people” and “local politics” for the answers on FH negatives. What?!

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

Anybody reading some of the county blogs? Some locals are sick of tourists and believe there are too many of them. The branders should want to know this. Fifth, the survey needed professional help. “Survey Monkey,” limitations governed the design too much. This is not a good survey even for purposes that are not fiendishly rigorous. The entire branding idea (justifiably in my opinion) may be sliding into obscurity. Look at where we live. Do we really need branding? But if we are going to persist, here is what I would say: If we want more tourist money, offer more products and services visitors want or need. Ease up on local businesses. Don’t make it torture to make a living here. Remember the People. And quit trying to force Friday Harbor into a pre-conceived mold such as “eco-tourism.” Allowing myself one small slogan that has great implications, I offer this: “Friday Harbor – where we don’t speak for the fish; we go fishing. Join us!” JANICE PETERSON San Juan Island

Respond in kind; vote ‘Yes’ for EMS

I’ve lived on the island for 23 years and although I have not needed direct services from our SJ EMS, I have witnessed the ways in which they serve and save the lives of friends and family in our community. From a life-saving trip to Harborview Hospital in Seattle, to an in-home assistance with mobility, I have seen up-front-and-personal the ways in which our EMS women and men are professionally meticulous—not only with their emergency medical skills but also with the thoughtfulness, kindness, and respect they afford those in need of their services. And all the while meticulously honoring privacy and confidentiality. We all hear the sirens and know the stories. But SJ EMS is the most visible, best-kept secret on the island. By supporting them, we are supporting our friends

Bias for weapons shown in a word?

Mr. Rasmussen; Thank you for your “enlightened” opinion on upcoming measures and races. However, a word appeared which disturbed me (“Money matters energize election,” pg. 1, Sept. 24). Words do matter and they can often make or break an issue, especially when they appear in the media. What is “onerous” in our society today is the number of men, women and children killed and injured by guns. What is “onerous” is the gun industry’s hold, via the NRA, on the mindset of many because there is

a general ignorance of the concept of conflict of interest. What is “onerous” are the number of husbands, wives and/or children killed through guns; remember this is Domestic Violence Awareness month. What is especially “onerous” is the fact that we are one of the most violent countries in the developed world yet our crime rate is shrinking. We continue to associate lowering crime with threats and acts of violence instead of an improved system of law enforcement. Your use of “onerous” seems to indicate you promote fewer restrictions on gun purchases instead of responsibility and willingness to do the right thing in keeping guns out of the wrong hands. I actually see the present approach as one of laziness, ignorance and cowardice. I would say shame on those who support the status quo, but as I believe important discussions should be done on a reasoned bases

As I See It

A healthy mix Newcomer’s view: honoring Cathy before pleasure? Seems every so for seniors; vote Business often the two are one and the same ‘Yes’ on Prop. 1 T I By Jordan Taylor

Special to the Journal

his year’s November ballot will have numerous measures to vote on, and one of them is the renewal of the levy lid-lift (Proposition 1), which includes several social programs, one of them being Senior Services. When it was passed in 2009, it funded primarily personnel necessary to the ongoing operation of the senior centers in the county. The renewal vote will include $30,000 for nutrition for the three senior centers. Up to now, the lunches are funded by Whatcom County. The cost of the lunches increases, the funding does not increase, and donations for the lunches are not keeping up with the costs. Last year alone there was a deficit of over $32,000 for the three county senior centers. The $30,000 earmarked for lunch programs will offset the deficit and help realize a plan that the Orcas Operations Committee has held for some time, as may the other two centers as well: to increase the lunch programs at the senior center from two to three days per week. This inclusion of $30,000 is the first time that San Juan County participates in the lunch programs in its jurisdiction. San Juan, Whatcom, Island and Skagit counties are part of the Northwest Regional Council, which serves as conduit for federal funding of senior nutrition programs in this part of Washington. Nutrition, or the lack thereof, is a growing problem in the senior community. There will be folks who come to lunch who are not getting a balanced, well-prepared meal at any other time per week. Additionally, at lunchtime seniors can enjoy each other’s company and visit with old friends only at those get-togethers. As chairperson for the Orcas Operations Committee (the one that keeps the lights on and the place painted, and the heat going…) I urge voters to vote for the renewal of the levy lid-lift on Nov. 4, for the good of the community.

n the summer of 2013, I received a call from a colleague telling me about this accounting practice that was potentially coming on the market in a place called Friday Harbor. As a guy who grew up in a small town in Michigan, and having spent most of my career in Phoenix, I immediately said, “Where is that exactly?” I had been doing consulting in Seattle for several years and we had opened our office there in 2013, but Friday Harbor didn’t ring a bell. After being educated from a few folks on the San Juans, I reached out to Cathy Cavanagh, the CPA who owned this practice. I remember exactly where I was the first time I spoke with Cathy. I remember learning about her practice, and her cancer. What I remember most about that conversation was the remarkable personality and positivity Cathy exuded. Just diagnosed with cancer, having to try and find someone to jump in and help with her practice, and all of the normal stresses of running a business on top of it, I could hear the smile on her face through the laughter and her words. I decided to “explore” this further. My colleague Kevin headed out to Friday Harbor to meet Cathy and came back with the same reaction. There was something about her that just stood out. We dug further,

Puzzled by EMS spending excess

The following is my take on the Letter to the Editor by Leslie Brennan, as to her requesting a “No” vote on the EMS Levy (“EMS levy dosen’t add up; vote ‘No’,” pg. 6, Oct. 1) Leslie is on point and I for one am totally in agreement. It was like she was reading my mind. The voters need to be presented with information in timely manner as to why EMS is requesting increased funding. Why not present a request for additional funding every two years, and not every six years? The voters said “No” to the past request for a permanent levy and they could very well say no to the sixyear request. No one would object to

SJCT to showcase Tony award winner This year’s fall play is the Chekhov themed “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike,” written by Christopher Durang. The play is directed by Joy Van Camp and features Friday Harbor resident actors. The play won the Tony Award for best play in 2013 and Van Camp is excited to bring the comedy to the San Juan Community Theatre. “I think it’s so fun that it’s a modern play—something that many of us couldn’t have traveled to see on Broadway,” she said. The play centers around middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia, who live in the family home in Pennsylvania. Named for characters in plays by Anton Chekhov, Vanya and Sonia have not had to grow up. Neither has a job, and money is provided by their sister Masha, a movie star who owns the house and pays the bills. Vanya is a frustrated writer and Sonia is forever reminding everyone that she is adopted. Both spend their days bemoaning their rather Chekovian lot in life, which entails frustration and introspection of their current situation. Their world is turned upside down when Masha returns home bringing her young, ambitious lover, Spike. Van Camp notes that while Chekov does play a role, there is no need to have read his work to enjoy this play. Themes of struggling to keep up with the modern fast-changing

t’s early fall and deep purple has faded to light lilac–it’s harvest time at Pelindaba Lavender Farm. Under a cloud-covered sky, workers are in the field with sickles, cutting bunches at mid-stem. The lavender will be dried completely before it’s distilled into lavender oil, which has therapeutic benefits when used in its pure form and as the basis of self-care products sold at the farm store. “Lavender is a sedative,” said Stephen Robins, owner of Pelindaba. “Put one drop of the essential oil under your nose before bed and you’ll fall asleep almost instantly.” Essential oil has its name because it’s the essence of the plant. Distillation only happens once a year, when the quality and quantity of oil is at its peak, before the perennial plant is pruned and then goes to sleep for the winter. As a part of Savor the San Juans, the monthlong celebration of everything food, drink, art and farm, Pelindaba is hosting farm tours and distillation demonstrations, for free, every Saturday in October, beginning at 2 p.m. A fully integrated estate, growing, harvesting and distilling all its lavender oil on site, Pelindaba employs over 20 people and hosts thousands of visitors per year. The farm cultivates 25,000 lavender plants on 25 acres and distills over 100 gallons of lavender oil each fall.

Essence of flowers extracted

The distillation process is simple and nearly waste free. The cut flowers are placed into a chamber with water. Steam from a nearby boiler vaporizes the lavender essential oil. The mixed steam and essential oil vapor travel through a cooling condenser where the vapor returns to liquid oil. The product then goes into a separator, where the oil rises to the top and drains off into gallon jugs. The actual distillation is completely passive,” Robins said. “We’ve extracted the oil without touching anything.”

The remaining water, hydrosol, is essentially diluted lavender oil and a product in itself. Pelindaba markets hydrosol, or floral water as it’s often called, as a “green” household cleaner. It’s non-toxic, additive free, and cuts through grease and oil. Besides a natural oil-solvent and sedative, lavender has a wide variety of practical and therapeutic benefits. It’s an antiseptic, topical anesthetic and has insect repelling properties. Lavender offers an alternative to chemical products and Pelindaba encourages this school of thought through educational workshops and demonstrations involving the practical applications of lavender.

Art of cultivating open space

Robins purchased the original 25 acres in the late 1980s, and decided to preserve the land as an open space, to protect it from further development. But Robins wanted to share this open space with local islanders and visitors, which was the main inspiration for starting a farm. For Robins, the farm has been a way to contribute to the quality of life on the island and benefit the local economy. Transport services, packaging, artwork, sewn products--whatever cannot be crafted on the farm, is outsourced locally. While some items might be less expensive off island, that’s not part of the Pelindaba principle. In 2009, everything but the fields and the corner Gatehouse store was lost in a fire at Pelindaba. Insurance covered little, and Robins had to rebuild the property and business at considerable personal expense. But it was worth coming back to, he said, because it benefits the island in so many ways. Pelindaba translates to, “a place of great gatherings,” in Zulu, an echo of Robins’s South African roots. “I like to think of the farm as a privately owned public park, where the gates are never locked,” he said. “We encourage people to come and walk, whether there are flowers or not.”

FIREWOOD for sale Fir - Cut Summer 2013 $250 Per Cord, $300 Delivered. Call 360-2984248 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.

Friday Harbor players and coaches were more than a bit frustrated by a 3-0 loss at Grace Academy, Tuesday, Sept. 30—and with good reason. It was the team’s third loss of the season and in a game that would put the winner in the driver’s seat for one of three top spots in the hotly contested Northwest 2B League standings. The Wolverines (6-3) bounced back, however, with two straight home wins to regain momentum, beating Lopez 5-1 and Cedar Park Christian of Mountlake Terrace 7-0. Against Lopez, Friday Harbor took an early lead with goals from Arno Issanjou and Michael Hoeller. Sam Paul-Barrette notched an assist and two goals within the final 10 minutes of the half, setting up Zach Porter’s first varsity strike, before knocking in two of his own. The Cedar Park game took an unfamiliar turn for the Wolverines when the visiting Lions arrived with only nine players (of 11 required to play). Coach Andy Duke decided to match them and play with nine. The Wolverines adjusted, scoring early and often. Issanjou netted a hat-trick, Hoeller added his third of the season and sophomores Joe Stewart and Javier Gomez were able to score their first varsity goals. “Those two matches helped us get back to playing our game,” Hoeller said. “We had many great stretches of passing which was lacking from our game Tuesday (Grace Academy), which we need to have in our next game.” The Wolverines sit in fourth place in league, which boasts four of the Top 10 Division 2B teams in the state, including No. 8 ranked Friday Harbor. The Wolverines squared off at home Tuesday against league-leading, undefeated and No. 4-ranked Mount Vernon Christian (8-0).

of Bellingham’s 325 rushing yards in the game. The Wolverines (3-2) held the Red Raiders scoreless in the second half, tallied two touchdowns of their own but trailed by two points after both point-after attempts failed. A fumble in the backfield in the closing seconds of regulation
