Divide surfaces over pot farms
Big gift arrives in small package
Council to host pot moratorium forums, Jan. 12 and Jan. 26
By Emily Greenberg Journal Reporter
By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
Dividing lines began to emerge last week in an increasingly highstakes tug-of-war over the cultivation of marijuana and whether San Juan County should apply the brakes on future permits to allow for stricter rules to be crafted and imposed on its production. With a would-be moratorium lingering on the horizon, arguments for and against putting a freeze on permits for large-scale grow operations ricocheted around the room at a Nov. 25 town hall hosted by Friday Harbor Grange No. 966. The meeting drew a standing-room-only crowd. The chasm that separates opponents and supporters of the moratorium may be deep and wide, but it seems that on one thing everyone could agree: the County Council is to blame for the predicament. “It seems like we’re punishing farmers for the council not doing their job,” a member of the audience said at the conclusion of the meeting, a sentiment shared by many in the room. And, by San Juan Island’s Brent Snow, in particular. The forum’s featured pro-moratorium speaker, See FARMS, Page 5

November to remember Boys claim 3rd, girls finish 4th in ‘best-ever’ show at State By Sam Paul-Barette Journal intern
The Wolverines arrived in Sumner Friday, Nov. 21, with a strong desire to lift the state championship trophy, but by the end of the night, they found themselves looking at a very different task. Friday Harbor fell 1-0 to the Waitsburg-Prescott Tigers in the Division 2A state semifinals at Sunset Chevrolet Stadium, sending them to a thirdplace showdown with league foe Grace Academy Saturday afternoon, where they cashed in a thrilling victory via a penalty kick shootout. In their Friday night matchup, the Wolverines found themselves pitted against an unfamiliar opponent, a speedy and skillful Tigers team that effectively intercepted and closed down the Wolverines passing lanes. For Friday Harbor, reli-
ant all season on calm, composed ball movement, it was a gut check. “They played with a high intensity, made it very hard for us to control the game,” said senior Cassidy Quigley. After relentless pressure, the Tigers leading scorer, Ivan Figueroa, broke through in the 64th minute of the game. The Wolverines defense was unable to clear a long ball into the box and Figueroa pounced driving a left-footed shot past goalkeeper Dalton Ayers. The Wolverines returned to the hotel that night with heavy disappointment but a renewed sense of purpose to grab third place against Grace Academy, a team the Wolverines had gone 1-1 against in the regular season. Come Saturday afternoon, Friday Harbor arrived at Sunset Stadium ready to play “their state championship”, as some players put it. Against Grace Academy, they came from of the opening whistle as the clearly dominant team, See REMEMBER, Page 6

San Juan Community Home Trust just got a little closer to meeting its $300,000 goal, a challenge bestowed upon the organization by a long-time supporter. If the Home Trust can raise the $300,000 through other donations, the supporter will match the amount. “We have a thermometer to show our progress,” said Nancy DeVaux, executive director for the Home Trust. “Since July we’re at about $225,000 of the $300,000, so See PACKAGE, Page 4

Charles Warren Lindenberg: 1932—2014 Charles W. Lindenberg was born on Sept. 8, 1932 in Antofagasta, Chile, to Elisa Ward Lindenberg and Carl F. Lindenberg. His father, a Swedish immigrant, was a mechanic and pilot for Pan American Grace, the parent company of both the airline and steamship line. His mother came from a large, Anglo-Peruvian family which owned an “estancia,” or plantation, in the Camilaca valley, Cinto, Peru. Charlie, the youngest child ever to fly over the Andes, was less than two years old when his father was killed when he had to make a forced landing in Mar Chiquita, a shallow lake near Junin, Argentina. It was Carl’s wish that his son would be raised in the United States. Elisa took him to Florida, where she applied for citizenship and built a small house, which remained her only property for many years, and was rented out as she and Charlie progressed from place to place. She worked as a “companion” or domestic helper, always keeping her son with her, and writing about her experiences. They ended up in a small outpost called Welch,

His mother wanted him to have some male influence and the discipline of a private school. This is where he met his first girlfriend, Nancy. He graduated with honors in 1950 and joined the U.S. Coast Guard in 1951. Charlie completed his basic training at Alameda, Calif., and served on Coast Guard Cutter Bering Strait in 1951. He completed the 24-week radio operators course (for Morse Code) in Groton, Conn., in 1952. He was stationed in Westport, Wash.; served on the CGC Fir on Ocean Station Sugar, and from there returned to CG bases in Seattle and Bremerton, until his honorable discharge. During his 15 years in television production at KIRO and KOMO, he “ran camera” for the popular children’s show, “J.P. Patches”. He filmed the Blue Angels’ flights at Seafair, and also expertly followed the hydroplane races. He also worked as crew for the hydroplane Miss Thriftway, Seattle winner in 1957 and 1960. Charlie loved writing, and had articles published by Nor’Westing Magazine, Classic Trains, AOPA Pilots’ Magazine, Readers’ Digest, the District 13 Coast Guard newsletter, and by many newspapers.

Undersheriff says ‘so long’ Warm weather, tee-time await after 22-year career By Cali Bagby
Associate editor, Islands’ Sounder
On Monday, Undersheriff Bruce Distler will get on a ferry with his wife Bonni, their car and trailer and say farewell to the island he has called home for the last eight and a half years. Bruce and Bonni are moving to Green Valley, Ariz. They first “fell” for the state when they visited last year and decided that it was the place for retirement. Bruce describes Green Valley as a 55-plus community with “absolutely killer recreation,” including swimming pools and plenty of golf. It has been two years since Bruce has swung a club, but now he will have plenty of time to perfect his game. He also looks forward to riding his Harley Davidson. “What I will miss most is the friends we’ve made,” he said. Bruce was appointed to undersheriff in 2013. That month Sheriff Rob Nou told the Sounder that Bruce was chosen for his education, experience, personality, temperament and philosophy. The undersheriff has a master’s degree in management and criminal justice from Colorado Technical University. He has spent nearly 22 years as a law enforcement officer, serving San Juan County since 2006. Prior to beginning his police career, he served 22 years with the Air Force, retiring as a master sergeant in aeromedical evacuation. He is a drug recognition expert, specially trained to determine if people are under the influence of drugs other than alcohol.
Obituaries:
Continued from page 2 his sense of humor, and his warmth to the very end. He will be sadly missed. Charlie loved San Juan Island and didn’t want to be anywhere else.
Bruce said there was a huge learning curve transitioning from his job as a deputy being on the road to working as an administrator and leader. The undersheriff is considered the second in command of the sheriff ’s office. Bruce superBruce Distler vised sergeants, detectives, corrections officers and the traffic officer. As a deputy, Bruce recalls that he “knew” how to fix everything that he could do a better job than those in higher positions. As undersheriff the realities of problem solving had a new meaning. He realized that decisions are not always based on what will make others happy but are more about balancing the budget and working with the county and the community. Bruce also learned over his career in law enforcement how to deal with traumatic situations like car accidents and suicides. He said people would be shocked to hear how police talk to one another in these situations. “Your mental functions in these cases try to protect you from going crazy,” he said. One part of his job that always made him feel satisfied is that of all the trauma he has witnessed none of it has ever been caused by his hand. “I’ve never had to fire my weapon at another human being,” he said. Bruce also says he is proud of the fact that everyone he has worked with, from witness to victim to those being arrested, have respected the way he does his job. “It goes back to my original training to

OPINION Letters to the Editor
Fond farewell to exemplary officer
I wish to express my praise and gratitude for Undersheriff Bruce Distler’s years of service for our community. I met Bruce years ago as a prosecutor and have continued to work with him as a private attorney. As Undersheriff, Bruce was usually my initial contact when issues arose involving the Sheriff ’s Department. The most that anyone in my position can ask of a law enforcement officer is that he or she approach the job with integrity. We place a great deal of trust in Sheriff ’s deputies and give them a tremendous amount of power. Bruce deserved every bit of that trust. In my conversations with Bruce, I got the sense that “doing the right thing” was always in the forefront of his mind. Whether informally or on the witness stand, Bruce was always willing to speak the truth, including in one instance admitting to a jury that he had made
a mistake. On top of it all, he always brought a positive interaction to every conversation I had with him, especially these last years as Undersheriff. In my opinion, Bruce has shown everyone what a law enforcement officer should be. I will miss him. STEPHEN A. BRANDLI Brandli Law, Friday Harbor
For those that go above & beyond
The San Juan Island Quaker Group would like to acknowledge three situations where community members went way beyond the call of duty to help some of us. n Thank you to the firemen, Peter and Brad, who responded to a call for help at 3 a.m. when builtin smoke alarms went off. After a thorough check of the house, they discovered that the smoke alarms had backup batteries that had weakened and tripped the system. They then went back to the firehouse, in the middle of the night, got new batteries and installed them in the high ceiling alarms. Bravo!

The Church congregation chose the Home Trust as the unanimous recipient of its yearly donation. The ministry set aside $900 for the contribution and the congregation, made up of about 35 community members, donated the remaining $150. “We asked the congregation for input of a worthy cause,” said pastor Beth Purdum. “It’s a matter of hospitality, that’s the mission of the church.” All funds donated toward the $300,000 “Challenge Grant,” goes towards expenses for the Home Trust’s phase two of Sun Rise, an affordable housing community with 12-14 homes. The Home Trust has 17 household who have applied for an affordable housing and meet the criteria. These families are now waiting for homes.

Bruce leaves the department at a pivotal time. In January, Ron Krebs will replace Rob Nou as the sheriff and will appoint a new undersheriff. Bruce’s advice to the new team is to find balance in the leadership roles. “Sometimes I was the voice of reason and sometimes Rob was,” he said. “We would trade off. That is important.”

Continued from page 1 Snow faulted the county for its failure to implement “reasonable regulations” that protect against the impact of large and bigticket grow operations that bear more resemblance to a feedlot or slaughterhouse than they do to typical agricultural production. Three marijuana facilities have been licensed for production in San Juan County by the state Liquor Control Board. Rather than treating grow operations like any other agricultural activity by default, Snow, who noted that he voted for Initiative 502 and favors a local marijuana industry, believes a moratorium would create the urgency the county may need to create rules that help shield neighbors from the impacts—like noise, traffic and grow lights—of grow operations. “San Juan County can’t seem to get it done any other way,” he said. Following voter-approval in 2012 of I-502, which legalized recreational use of marijuana by adults and tasked the Liquor Control Board with developing a business licensing regimen, cities and counties had authority to develop their own set of zoning and landuse rules in anticipation of marijuana production, processing and retail facilities. In San Juan County, where I-502 passed by the state’s largest margin, 68 percent, the county council opted to treat marijuana grow operations as an agricultural activity, governed by the same rules that apply to cultivation of tomatoes. As part of the Liquor
Board licensing regimen, a marijuana grow operation is required to in place and operating in order for an inspection of its requirements to take place before a license can be issued. Concerns raised over construction and the impacts of several grow operations on San Juan Island prompted the county council to consider imposing a six-month moratorium on accepting permits for Tier 2 or Tier 3 operations while new regulations targeting such facilities would presumably be created. The council will host a pair of workshop related to marijuana cultivation and the would-be moratorium Jan. 12 and Jan. 26, beginning at 9:15 a.m. In order to implement a moratorium, the council would need to determine an emergency to the well-being of county residents exists without it. Speaking on behalf of the Committee for Diversified Agriculture and against the moratorium, Sandy Strehlou said a moratorium is unnecessary, unfair and the “wrong tool” to wield even if new regulations are warranted. She noted the moratorium is opposed by the county Agricultural Resources Committee and new rules should be consider as a comprehensive review of local rules. In addition, Strehlou said the council has been pushed toward a moratorium by objections on only a few property owners and that the amount of land where marijuana is under cultivation totals only four acres countywide. “Four acres cannot possibly constitute a crisis,” she said. “What’s true for vegetables should be true for cannabis.”

As I See It
Alarm sounded in new era of ‘NIMBY’ Would-be moratorium on cultivation of cannabis defies voters’ I-502 mandate By Jim Nollman
Special to the Journal
I
nitiative 502 was a vote about the use, marketing, and cultivation of cannabis. It was passed last year by 68 percent of San Juan County voters; the highest percentage in the state of Washington. If we understand a mandate as the authority given to officials by a majority of the electorate to carry out a specific policy, then the passage of 502 was clearly a mandate. The county has officially responded to this mandate. San Juan Island Council member Bob Jarman has proposed a moratorium against growing cannabis. A second council member, Jamie Stephens, from Lopez, has signed on, assuring its passage. By this unilateral action, these reps are telling voters that our overwhelming mandate does not count. The aggressiveness implicit in their preemptive move also implies that they believe we voters need to be protected from ourselves. The logic for the moratorium is weak. Seeds of self-interest in would-be legislation One published defense expresses a dystopian fear of acres of glowing greenhouses someday covering San Juan Valley. Another argument insists that this measure protects everyone’s property rights. In fact, the moratorium assuredly protects the property rights of a vocal minority lining up against cannabis farming in their own neighborhoods. To protect those few, the moratorium assuredly voids the property rights of the farmers involved. The San Juan Island councilman's wife is among the most outspoken critics of cannabis farms. Her writings describe a fierce motivation to protect an historical family connection in San Juan Valley as the basis for inveighing against one cannabis farm in her daughter’s neighborhood. She declares that this particular grow operation ruins the rural character of the valley and negatively impacts property values. Her writing is passionate, but the reader is left with the distinct suspicion that she would not be spreading fears about eyesore greenhouses if the crop was tomatoes. Her conclusion is that no one in the county wants a cannabis farm in their neighborhood. This NIMBY generalization (Not In My Backyard) has midwifed the moratorium. Unfortunately, the moratorium is undeniably unfair in its blanket generality. Her county councilman husband could have channeled his and his wife’s passion to closely examine whether existing regulations for impacts on environment, light, noise, water, farmland, wetlands, etc. are sufficient as is. Instead he proposed the moratorium, with the help of a few outspoken property rights conservatives looking over his shoulder. We citizens are left to play defense against a process right out of Alice in Wonderland: moratorium motion first, dis-

cussion after. Cart before regulatory horse Even if a lively countywide discussion had found the current regs insufficient, due process still demands that, first, existent regs be adapted to fit a countywide need. Instead, the county council hands us a closure that oppressively victimizes farmers already invested in a highly regulated vocation, and whose fatal mistake was following existing regs. Appearances are everything in politics. To conflate one’s own private property issue with everybody else’s leaves the impression that hubris has trumped due process. It’s too easy to draw a straight line between the wife’s complaint and the husband’s moratorium. That line is a glaring indicator of a conflict of interest. In a fair world, legislation should never have the lookand-feel of a NIMBY action that turns a deaf ear to a voters’ See ‘NIMBY’, Page 6

Remember: Continued from page 1 testing Eagles keeper Isaiah VanDam with multiple shots on goal. Will Christison, Arno Issanjou and Sam Paul-Barrette all came within inches of giving the Wolverines the lead, but the Eagles standout goalkeeper made 15 saves in the game and overtime combined. “We ran the game. I think that was one of the best games we’ve ever played,” said Sam Gabler-Brown. Grace Academy standout, Northwest League MVP Jeremiah Lee, was not to be outdone. The senior, who amassed 47 goals on the season, found himself with three excellent chances, but Dalton Ayers was up to the task, stopping Lee with three superb saves, one of which came in the final minute of overtime. Finally, the game would be finished with a penalty shootout. Lee stepped up for the first Eagles kick, but Ayers would shock everybody in the stadium by making an excellent save. Ayers would go on to make three saves in the shootout, while Issanjou, Sam Stewart and Quigley put away their shots for a 3-2 victory, giving Friday Harbor a 3rd place finish, the boys soccer team’s best-ever placing at State and sending their nine seniors out with a smile.
Girls team nets 4th place at State
Phone and Internet Discounts Available to CenturyLink Customers The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission designated CenturyLink as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier within its service area for universal service purposes. CenturyLink’s basic local service rates for residential voice lines are $10.85-$16.40 per month and business services are $20.35-$32.10 per month. Specific rates will be provided upon request. CenturyLink participates in a government benefit program (Lifeline) to make residential telephone service more affordable to eligible low-income individuals and families. Eligible customers are those that meet eligibility standards as defined by the FCC and state commissions. Residents who live on federally recognized Tribal Lands may qualify for additional Tribal benefits if they participate in certain additional federal eligibility programs. The Lifeline discount is available for only one telephone per household, which can be either a wireline or wireless telephone. A household is defined for the purposes of the Lifeline program as any individual or group of individuals who live together at the same address and share income and expenses. Lifeline service is not transferable, and only eligible consumers may enroll in the program. Consumers who willfully make false statements in order to obtain Lifeline telephone service can be punished by fine or imprisonment and can be barred from the program.
The Friday Harbor girls soccer team traveled to Sumner’s Sunset Chevrolet Stadium Friday, Nov. 21, but ended the weekend with a pair of 1-0 losses, to finish 4th at State. Still, the Wolverines came home as the first girls soccer squad in school history to qualify for State competition. On a rainy Friday night in the semi-finals, Friday Harbor faced off against a Liberty Bell Mountain Lions team playing in Sumner for the third straight year, but that had lost in the semi-final round the last two seasons.

would be the charm for the Lions from Winthrop, who advanced to the championship game with a 1-0 win at the Wolverines expense. Friday Harbor finished fourth at State following an equally narrow 1-0 loss to Adna Saturday. Although they came out of the weekend without a victory, team captain Kaitlyn Domenech and company returned home with a sense of accomplishment. “It’s a very rewarding feeling, being a part of a team that fought its way to state for the first time,” Domenech said. “We’re all so proud of each other for playing our hardest through some tough games.” The Wolverines lose 11 seniors to graduation in June, but return a strong core of players that played extensively on this year’s team. This season marked the first-ever trip to state for the girls program. Odds are, it will not be the last.
’NIMBY’:
Continued from page 5 mandate. In a fair world, San Juan County rep Mr. Jarman, would recuse himself. The citizens of this county may indeed want a discussion about the future oversight of cannabis farming. But let’s first eliminate the heavy-handed threat of moratorium so it doesn’t loom over the proceedings like a loaded weapon. Ag’s new frontier? What might be discussed? Although current regs are exhaustive, some unanticipated issues have indeed come to light since the farms actually plopped down in certain neighborhoods, altering prior conceptions of the landscape. For just one example, are these really farms, or are they farms in name only, in the way a salmon farm is not a farm?
Some argue that they are so dependent on high-energy production methods that light industry might be a more accurate designation? If such issues as this one do prod us to a next discussion, let’s be sure it’s not more of what we’ve had so far: a gambit where the complaints of a few produce self-serving regulations. That next discussion needs to start with the fact that cannabis is legal. Can we all agree that any effort to make it illegal, again, is a different discussion. Tell the County Council how you feel; email addresses: bobja@sanjuanco.com, jamies@sanjuanco.com, Rickh@sanjuanco.com — Editor's note: Author, musician, and acoustician, Jim Nollman, whose family has lived on San Juan for decades, says an “ignored mandate” prompted him to weigh in on marijuana cultivation in San Juan County.

t’s a dark and cold Saturday evening, but inside the San Juan Island Grange Hall it’s bright, warm and inviting. The string instruments bring you back to another time—an old-time. The accordion and piano chime in, its players lost in sounds of the past. Thirty people filter in from the cold, shedding layers and lining up to tap their toes and dosey doe. Contra dancing happens every Monday night at the Grange Hall, 7:30 p.m., with the occasional dance added each month, it’s the perfect winter activity to rid those seasonal blues. “It’s a break from contemporary life,” said contra dance organizer and caller Mike Cohen. “It’s really almost the dance of life, a chance to be connected with everyone. That’s why it’s catching on.” And Cohen’s not kidding. Contra isn’t a type of partner dance, rather a kind where you dance with everyone. The dances begin with couples, and each couple moves up and down the hall, forming four person sets. A dance isn’t over until you’ve touched hands with every person in the room. Although this is the structure of each dance, there are dozens of different dances with variations of moves, making for a multiple dance evening. This traditional style of dancing has been around since the 1700s, and is a part of San Juan history that’s presented during historic reenactments at English Camp throughout the summer. Contra dancing was used for community building in agriculture based societies, and a popular activity at community socials when grange halls began popping up across the U.S. in the 1860s, Cohen said. Cohen brought contra dancing back to San Juan in the early 1990s,
and has been a dancer and caller since 1945. Among his many accolades, Cohen’s a program director of the Institute of Global Education, and is an applied eco-pscychologist who promotes educating, counseling and healing through nature. Offering free contra dancing is instep with many of his nature-centered philosophies. “Consider the universe or the planet being a dance. This is what we’re made for,” he said. “Contra dance is getting people in touch with the same thing out there in nature, but in here.” Jan Newton, an annual fall-semester professor at Friday Harbor Labs has been coming to the contra dances on San Juan since its resurgence in the early ‘90s. “It does feel like an organism, like this big entity,” she said. “It has a flow and everyone’s touching hands. There’s that connection, and a heart to it.” At the Nov. 22 contra dance, Cohen called out “dosey doe,” with a tune in his voice. Hands clasped genuinely with strangers and friends alike, the community’s faces smiled. Although the caller gave explicit instructions, many were out of step. It seemed the more missed steps, the greater the laughs. Skirts flew, boots stomped, layers shed as this bizarre looking brigade of dancers pranced through the halls in controlled chaos. If life is a dance and the universe chaotic, contra dancing is a fine example. Dances are held every Monday night, 7:30 at the Grange Hall. All dances are taught and free.

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

Poetry comes alive at bookstore
Griffin Bay Bookstore will host an evening of poetry, featuring two distinct Pacific Northwest female poets, Dec. 6, beginning at 7 p.m. Washington state Poet Laureate Elizabeth Austen, and poet Susan Rich are renown for brining the magic of poetry alive in their readings. In her debut poetry collection, “Every Dress a Decision,” Austen tests the boundaries between the known and the unknowable. The aftermath of a brother’s mysterious death forms a subtle narrative spine, around which other pressing questions revolve. Both lyrical and wry, Austen’s poems engage headlong in the contradictions of 21st century social expectations, desires and identity. She produces poetry programming for NPRaffliate KUOW 94.9, earned a Masters in Fine Arts at Antioch University, and teaches at Contributed photo Richard Hugo House, a non-profit community writing center in Seattle. Washington state’s ambassador Susan Rich is the author of four collections of poetry. She is a human rights activist and of poetry, Elizabeth Austen recipient of awards from the Times Literary Supplement, Peace Corps Writers, and the returns to Friday Harbor, Dec. Fulbright Foundation for both her writing and activism. 6, at Griffin Bay Bookstore.
