Island Rec hit by tax $$ error
Krebs wins by decisive margin Incumbent falls to deputy in landslide SJC sheriff’s race
By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
Elections are often about change. San Juan County voters demonstrated an eagerness for it, in the administration of their Sheriff ’s office. In a first-ever bid for public office, deputy Ron Krebs grabbed an insurmountable lead in a hotly contested 2014 sheriff ’s race. Krebs, an eight-year veteran of the force and former deputy guild president, collected 3,372 votes of 5,244 ballots tallied on election night, earning 64 percent of the Nov. 4 early election returns. The election night ballot count equals a voter-turnout of roughly 47 percent of 11,985 registered voters. An estimated 2,000 ballots will be tallied over the next several days, according to the county Elections department. The ballots yet to be counted are not expected to change the outcome of the sheriff ’s race, according to Auditor Milene Henley. “It’s an unbeatable lead,” she said. For first-term incumbent Rob Nou, the election night results signal a reversal of fortune in four years time. In 2010, Nou drew 66 See MARGIN, Page 4

The demolition of the Elwha River dams, and the story that led to the dismantling, for the sake of salmon restoration, proved the most popular film at the 2nd annual Friday Harbor Film Festival.
Bigger second time around Documentaries about dams prove popular at 2014 Film Fest By Emily Greenberg Journal reporter
Thousands of volunteer hours, hundreds of tickets sold, dozens of films screened—the year long work put in to bring the festival to life was worth it. The second annual Friday Harbor Film Festival was a hit. Over the weekend, the town buzzed with festival-goers. Ticket sales were up, venues had to turn people away from certain screenings, and many films earned the highest possible ratings in the audiences’ vote for favorites. The San Juan Island Chamber of Commerce reported a surge of walk-ins, as many as 75, at its visitor center throughout the weekend. At this time of year, numbers usually dwindle to the teens at the chamber office, chamber Director Tom
Kirschner said. According to festival co-organizer Karen Palmer, ticket sales were up by 35-50 percent from a year ago. “The reviews are glowing,” Palmer said. “The community is so proud and supportive. The festival was a wonderful representation of Friday Harbor.” Speaking of support, festival organizers announced a new and very generous endowment. A local contributor promised to sponsor tickets for local middle and high school students for next year’s festival. The Young Filmmakers Project saw films submitted by students from the San Juans and Anacortes. Films ranged from music videos to tear-jerking narratives. The winning film in the Young Filmmakers category is a documentary by Spring Street International School students Pear Black, Max Kessler, and Conrad Bormann. “Searching for Green” chronicled the students See AROUND, Page 3

Island Rec is due to take a big hit to its bottom line in the wake of an error by the county assessor’s office in calculating three year’s worth of property tax revenue for park and recreation agency. Assessor Charles Zalmanek took responsibility for error, saying Island Rec received a total of $377,192 in excess revenue because he mistakenly adjusted its levy rate to a mark above the maximum amount approved by voters, which escalated over three See ERROR, Page 4

Strike two for EMS levy hike proposal
Wednesday, November 12, 2014 — 3
Proposed property tax hike rejected by wider margin than February election By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
For the second time in less than a year, voters of the San Juan Island hospital district said, “No go” to a property tax hike for emergency medical services. This time around, however, voters’ rejection of second try at a proposed 15-cent increase proved slightly more emphatic. With 3,873 ballots tallied in the Nov. 4 election, 67 percent of the district’s 5,774 registered voters, “No” votes outnumbered “Yes” votes by only three, or 50.04 percent to 49.96 percent (145 voters failed to cast a vote on the measure). San Juan Island EMS faces a higher hurdle than most junior-taxing districts, in that it requires 60 percent or better voter-approval in order for a property tax increase to pass. In February, a similar proposal, which would have raised the EMS levy by 15 cents per $1,000 of property value and made that tax hike permanent, gained 55 percent of votes cast in that election. In the wake of the election, EMS officials said the agency will delay capital improvements and equipment purchases, and will be pinching pennies to contain costs. It may also change its policy of not charging district residents for emergency medical and ambulance calls if those cost-cutting moves prove insufficient. “… if revenues cannot sustain essential services, we must reduce or eliminate our long standing benefit of ‘no out of pocket costs for District residents’ for 911 and ground ambulance services,” hospital district commission chairman Dr. J. Michael Edwards and Chief Jim Cole said in a Nov. 10 press release. “Going forward, we will continue to serve our community to the best of our ability, and appreciate all those who

The film also received the “People’s Choice” award. The award for “Best Short” film went to

support this effort.” In the run-up to the election, critics pointed to a jump in overall income, from $2.4 million in 2011 to $3.8 million in 2013, and in expenditures, nearly $2 million in 2011 versus $3.4 million in 2013, as well as an end-of-the year cash reserve of roughly half-amillion in each of the past three years, as evidence that the agency ought to be able to get by without more from property owners. Proponents pointed to the steady decrease in the amount of revenue raised by the levy in the past three years, due to an unanticipated drop in property values, and to a sharp drop in medical insurance reimbursement payments as proof that the agency will be unable to provide the same level of service without additional revenue. Cuts in pay and unpaid furloughs were implemented in mid-year by the hospital district commission to help EMS contain costs. The EMS property tax levy, currently in the fourth year of a six-year levy, is slated to expire in 2016 unless renewed by voters.

Margin: Continued from page 1 percent of the vote to become the county’s first new sheriff in more than two decades on the heels of that landslide victory at the ballot box. Four years later, Krebs made leadership and communication, or the lack of it, the centerpiece of his campaign. He vowed to mend and to restore lines of communication within the department and with other agencies that regularly deal with the sheriff ’s office. He pledged to create a stronger bond between the department and the public it serves as well. The department’s rank-and-file rallied around their fellow deputy’s run for office, with the guild backing the Krebs campaign in an unprecedented and near unanimous endorsement of his election bid. The sheriff oversees a department of about 35 employees and a 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.

But that’s not the case.” Unlike most property tax levies, the rate of Island Rec’s, similar to that of San Juan EMS, does not “float” up or down in order to generate a pre-determined amount. It remains locked and fixed at a certain rate, and the amount of revenue it generates can fall along with an overall decline in property value

annual salary of $103,595. As a first-term incumbent, Nou came into the campaign with a record to run on, or against, but also carrying a long list of law enforcement credentials as well. A graduate of the FBI academy, he joined the sheriff ’s department as a Lopez-Island based deputy in 2008 and with 33 years of law enforcement experience in tow, including four years as police chief in Burns, Ore., and long tenure as an administrative sergeant in Oregon’s Yamhill County. within the district. Like other levies, it can only increase by 1 percent a year, however, plus the value of new construction. “The Board was shocked and disappointed by this news,” Island Rec Director Sally Thomsen said in a press release. “Rebounding from this recent development, Island Rec’s Board is looking into how best to continue providing its parks and programs that are an integral part of this community.” Thomsen noted that Island Rec’s property tax levy also generates income to supplement the Friday Harbor High School sports program. Voters approved an increase in the park and
recreation district levy in 2009 and roughly 41 percent of the revenue it collects helps fund high school sports. Following consultation with the state Department of Revenue, Zalmanek said Island Rec’s levy will be lowered in 2015 and the amount of revenue will fall from this year’s $605,000 to $305,000 in 2015, the final year of its six-year levy. What’s more, Island Rec will also have to pay back the “over-collected” amount of revenue, $377,192. Zalmanek said state law will allow that payback to be done over time to help soften the financial hit the agency is preparing to absorb.

White re-elected, Pederson wins White wins with 68%, Pederson 55%
– Kitchen & Bath Center –
By Scott Rasmussen Journal Editor
Incumbent Joan White secured a third term in office with a landslide victory in the race for County Clerk. First elected to the office in 2006, White amassed 68 percent of the vote in Tuesday night's election results. Of 8,036 ballots tallied from the Nov. 4 election, she outpolled challenger Nancy Vejvoda, a district court administrative assistant making a first-ever bid for public office, by 4,477 votes to 2,068. White was unopposed for reelection in 2010. Duties of clerk of the court include management of business affairs of superior and juvenile courts, and family law matters, maintaining legal files, collection of court-ordered fines and fees, and coordinating purchase and renewal of U.S. passports. The position pays $75,000 and the clerk of the court supervises 3.4 employees. Along with auditor, sheriff and prosecuting attorney, the clerk of the court is one of seven positions responsible for management of various departments of county government that are up for election in 2014. Only three of those seven elected positions drew two or more candidates. In the treasurer election, another contested race, featuring two first-ever candidates, Rhonda Pederson gained a sizable lead, at 55 percent, over Tony Fyrqvist. Pederson, chief accountant of the auditor's office and 13-year county employee, collected 3,602 votes in the early election results, versus 2,922 cast for Fyrqvist, a senior loan officer and longtime Islanders Bank employee. Treasurer Jan Sears, now in the final year of a second four-year term in office, announced her retirement earlier in the year and declined to seek reelection.

Duties of the treasurer, a non-partisan elected post, include tracking and oversight of all monies collected by the county, including those of junior taxing districts, and county financial investments; preparation of excise tax affidavits in property sales and transfers, and preparing and sending out annual property tax statements. The treasurer supervises 2 1/2 full-time employees and receives an annual salary of $75,000, benefits included. Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord, District Court Judge Stewart Andrew, Auditor Milene Henley were all unopposed in their respective races, and John Kulseth, chief appraiser of the assessor's office, who ran unopposed in the assessor election, will inherit the position from Charles Zalmenak, a two-term incumbent who opted against running for a third term. County Councilman Jamie Stephens, District 3 (Lopez and its outer islands), who drew competition from a writein candidate late in the campaign, Mike Pryce, easily won reelection, amassing 90 percent of the votes tallied, 3,249, in the election night results.

Where eagles dare: to soar beyond the chains of ‘ERDs’ By Gay Wilmerding Special to the Journal
E
xtending a cautious oar early 7 August, I begin to turn. Cawing over my shoulder betrays crows chasing an eagle. Facing shore, I pause in magic between dense fog and partial sight. An eagle alights, its body invisible against the dark fir, its head bright. Another cries from a nearby madrone, its red trunk and green leaves saturated in color on the grey day. Silence. We eye each other for several minutes. I float on, the birds remain. That evening another head shines against green madrone leaves, body dark in silhouette against brilliant sun. Cecile Richards addresses Bellingham’s Planned Parenthood. Clad in black, her broken arm in black cast accentuates her slim figure and razor sharp observations on 30 June’s Supreme Court “Hobby Lobby” decision. Denying contraception mandates in the Affordable Care Act has profound implications for women, “placing them back in the fifties” with respect to civil rights and basic care. She exhorts us to vote. As corporations do not eat, bleed, feel pain or die, extending personhood is flawed theory. Using First Amendment freedom of religion to deny women medical options is as perverse as using its free speech clause to allow unlimited domestic and foreign business donations to electoral candidates in “Citizens United” and “McCutcheon.” Sustaining her injury in a Boston scuffle following a 5-4 decision, I recall Cecile’s compliments on a glorious, 2012

Must basic rights be sacrificed to pacify the voracious economics of health care? October evening. No security required on San Juan with orcas breaching behind her, the national president describes access to reproductive health across the country and on island with Monica Harrington, who mentions catholicwatch. org, and Linda McCarthy who explains that, unique in the U.S., 100 percent of Mount Baker Planned Parenthood taxdeductible gifts stay here for Bellingham, Mount Vernon and Friday Harbor clinics. I voted with islanders to subsidize San Juan Island’s hospital, pledging almost 15 percent of my property tax dollars for 50 years. Jobs are essential in a rural county with only one hospital. Whether in a fog of illness or moral conflict consider: Ethical and Religious Directives (ERDs) mean religious belief governs care, not science. Should I connive for legal, medical services knowing individuals could be fired or lose admitting privileges under ERD policies? No. Rather than self censor, I discover fine, independent, local providers and mainland, secular facilities. Should accident or illness lead to incoherence, I am fearful, whatever my age or condition, of being taken to an ERD facility. Should my spouse suffer illness and try to exercise

Washington’s Death with Dignity options, his Advanced End of Life Directive will be ignored if it “conflicts with hospital policy, law or the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care.” This troubling PeaceHealth Whatcom Region policy is posted on our Hospital District website without amendment for our community. As medical costs lead to bankruptcy, personal cost for institutional bias may be our home. Should my teenagers need full reproductive health care, Planned Parenthood across from the post office will provide, not PeaceHealth. Nationally, one in five females of reproductive age use this non-profit; males are its fastest growing population. Telephone and web increase access to “Care. No matter what.” Crafter of pro-life political plank, evangelist Frank Schaeffer now advocates abortions decrease with increase of medical and social options for “families to prosper.” Thus, separation of Church and State works. Under Washington State laws and the U.S. Constitution, every islander has autonomy and access to science-based, best-medical practice under the Affordable Care Act.

t has been decades since we have seen a more uplifting ceremony than last month’s twohour event. Almost SRO (Standing Room Only) at the Whittier Theatre, as those attending had to park as far away as Spring Street on a rainy day to attend. As the downstairs was almost completely filled and others went to the mezzanine, a dozen bagpipes and three great drums droned solemnly from the lobby and marched majestically into the darkened auditorium down the two central aisles and climbed the stairs to the stage. A marvelous photo of Andrew Victor McLaglen appeared on the Howard theatre’s new giant screen as the Schonberger pipers engulfed us all from their Journal Columnist stage performance, which totally conquered the audience as they played their proud Scottish melodies. As the lights were turned up, the pipe and drum corps marched slowly down the stage stairs and out of the room—all of this before any introduction. This was followed by a wonderful cast of family and friends, starting with the words of the late Andrew’s son, Josh; daughter Sharon Lannan; Cydney Bernard; Scout McLaglen, a grandchild who performed an exquisite ballet solo; Ethan Wayne, Gary Nelson; Maureen See, and concluded by daughter Mary, who assembled the throng for a toast of fine wine to Andrew Victor McLaglen. The friends, some describing scenes displayed on the screen or imagined, caused many tears and yet as many smiles and laughs as we heard how this giant 6-foot-7-inch Andrew always had the ability to leave a family member or friend smiling by his jibes or stepping on someone’s toes during picture-taking or even movie-making, I presume. How appropriate to have the song “Smile” beautifully performed by Susan Williams and guitarist Keith Busha at this stage of the proceedings. Other great words came from family and friends, who used the giant screen at times. It made me think of how blessed we are that the late Dodie Gann has bequeathed the screen to the theatre. — Go with the F.L.O.W. (Ferry Lovers Of Washington)

Zone”. It’s not that you can’t use drugs at school. The reality is simply that you can’t get caught using them. And the saddest part of all is that this is nothing new. Denying this reality makes us all complicit. While the goal is not to protect our children from ever being exposed to drugs, and the strong make wise choices, in the end peer pressure is too powerful a force to resist, especially in a small community where the threat of ostracism from the group

made a terrible mistake. I knew my child’s friends and where she was every minute of the day. But I made a bad assumption. I thought she was safe at school. I was wrong. This erroneous assumption has put my loved one on an entirely different trajectory, introducing her to a world of drugs at 14. How can a straight “A” student’s promise of a bright future be suddenly altered just weeks after high school has started? What are the conditions the adults around her support or ignore that allow this to happen? When we legalized marijuana for adults, did we intend to extend that to our children as well? If so, no need to read on. A student with low self-esteem and a high need for being accepted was easy prey for upper-classmen who supplied marijuana at lunchtime. All freshmen are a vulnerable group as they transition to high school; it is our responsibility as parents and leaders to provide the safest conditions possible during this phase. Drug use in and during school hours must be addressed if we are ever to meet our most fundamental ethical obligation to keep our children safe. Without a strong counter to the blaring culture of drug permissiveness in our youth, any parent’s ability to stem the tide of early drug usage and to provide reasonable conditions for good choices will be severely challenged. For starters, the open campus policy for freshman must be repealed. School policies on drug use and bullying are ineffective. These well-thought-out intentions mean nothing to me—they can’t erase the past or pave the way to a better future. When I notified a coach of marijuana use in students playing extra-curricular activities I was told, “The policies don’t allow us to infringe on individual rights and do drug testing.” Since when do minors’ rights supersede parental responsibilities to protect our youth until they are physically capable of recognizing the consequences of their own actions? Hallway signage mocks the current reality: “Drug Free
leaves no other options. Better policies would help establish the conditions for success while the frontal cortex’s of youth are still developing. For example, random drug testing. A study directed by the National Center for Education Evaluation of over 4,700 high school students involved in extracurricular activities found that students reported less substance use when subjected to random drug testing. Without consequences and with ineffective policies, drug use among juveniles will proliferate in our state. Our policies are useless. Parents are naïve to think their children are safe, and administrators are powerless without community support. The current system is so mis-wired that faculty can be searched and tested at any time—but not students. Am I the only one that finds this fact disturbing? Every single one of us has a role to play. We need courageous leaders who have the wisdom and insight to acknowledge that our current policies on juvenile drug use are inadequate, administrators, teachers and coaches who require random drug testing, parents who demand drug free schools, and citizens who understand that improvements simply cannot happen without additional dedicated resources. Without this concerted effort, it will only be a matter of time before we will all feel the effect of this downward spiral. — Editor’s note: Kathleen Bartholomew is a San Juan Island resident of nearly five years.

L
ate this past July, the last two Western Bluebird juveniles successfully fledged and the San Juan Islands Western Reintroduction Project wrapped up for another field season. As we now move into autumn, small flocks of bluebirds can still be seen roaming the island prior to their migration to southern wintering grounds. A partnership of the American Bird Conservancy, Ecostudies Institute, and The San Juan Preservation Trust, the goal of the project is to reestablish and monitor a viable breeding population of Western Bluebirds through a combined program of reintroduction, population monitoring and outreach. A big “thank you!” goes out to all who were involved this year; many folks helped out the project by hosting aviaries and nestboxes, reporting bluebird sightings, or allowing our 2014 field technician, Kelsey Green, to access their property to monitor nests or check and mark their nestboxes. The project, launched in 2007, experienced many successes in first five years. Due to extremely wet and cool summers of 2010-12, however, the population decreased, a pattern observed in other bluebird populations in the Pacific Northwest. To address this decline, this year the team executed emergency translocations of three family groups from larger populations near Corvallis, Oregon and Olympia, WA at Joint Base Lewis-McChord military installation. While there was some mortality during the season, the project also experienced success, as we happily watched many fledglings take flight. The overall success of these additional management efforts will be apparent next spring when the number of returning bluebirds is determined. In addition to these efforts, a new phase of the project commenced this year: locating and cataloguing the existing nestboxes on the island. This assessment effort will help us evaluate the nest box program and pave the way to improve monitoring efforts in the years to come through volunteer participation. As most of the quality bluebird nesting habitat is on private land, landowner and community involvement is absolutely critical to the success of the project. Western Bluebirds are thrushes, often identified by their bright blue plumage and distinctive call. Preferring open habitats for foraging, they can often be seen in areas with scattered trees, especially oak groves, and mid-story perches such as fence lines. On San Juan Island, bluebirds are often spotted on Cady Mountain and at American Camp early in the season as they migrate in, and most commonly choose nests in the San Juan Valley area. Calls from islanders who spot bluebirds are very helpful for monitoring purposes. Contact Kathleen Foley, 378-2461 or kathleenf@ sjpt.org, or Gary Slater, (305) 213-8829 or glslater@ ecoinst.org, for more about the bluebird project, to report a sighting, or to see if your property is suitable for hosting a nest box.
— Editor's note: Kelsey Green came to San Juan Island in spring 2013 as technician on the Western Bluebird Reintroduction Project. She has a masters degree in geoscience from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To make a firewood complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx

Wolverines rally late for win
A rain-soaked field and high winds put a choke-hold on the offense, but the Wolverines found just enough of it when it mattered most to clinch a 7-6 victory over Bellingham in their season finale. With the victory, the Wolverines avenged a 2-point defeat earlier in the season by Red Raiders and improved to 6-4 on the year. They fell one win shy of a post-season appearance, finishing third in the Northwest 2B/1B League standings, behind league champ Concrete and runner-up La Conner, which claimed the league’s two post-season berths.

FH claims state tourney berth in OT Two goals, three saves in shootout add up to first-ever appearance at State By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
The defense proved sturdy enough when it counted most, as the Friday Harbor girls soccer team clinched its first-ever appearance at State with a 2-1 victory over Mount Rainier Lutheran, Nov. 5, in sudden death. In a playoff contest in which the losing team would be eliminated from post-season play, the Wolverines and Hawks went into overtime with the score tied 1-1 at the end of regulation. Team captain Kaitlyn Domenech and Hannah Hopkins each drilled the ball past the Hawks goalkeeper to give Friday Harbor the advantage in the best-of-five shootout, but it was three saves by goalkeeper Hayden Mayer that sealed the victory and sent the Wolverines onto their maiden voyage at the 2B state tournament. "More than the winning goals, I'd say this win had to do with the winning saves," Coach Paul Hopkins said. "Hayden had a great game." With the victory, the Wolverines (13-4) punched their ticket to the Division 2B state tournament and collected their ninth consecutive victory. Despite a 5-0 defeat at

Featured Pet: Apollo
Apollo has been a fixture at the animal shelter for many years. He has preferred living outdoors, but as he is getting older we think he would enjoy being more of an indoor cat. He’s about 9-years old and loves human company. He does just fine with other cats too. We think he’d make a great companion for anyone looking for an indoor/outdoor kind of guy. Call 378-2158 or stop by the Animal Shelter at 111 Shelter Road to meet him.
