Redo of road ready to go

Deal on deck on sheriff’s boat?

By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

Realignment of Cattle Point Road begins April 13

By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

What takes 14 years of painstaking planning but just six months to accomplish?

The realignment and replacement of a 1.3-mile stretch of county road that passes through a portion of National Park Service property, on Mount Finlayson, no less, that’s what.

Construction, surveying and the breaking of ground on the much-debated, longawaited realignment of Cattle Point Road is slated to begin the week of April 13. Drivers headed to and from San Juan Island’s south end should expect 15-minute delays in the early morning hours and up to 30 minutes throughout the day, Monday through Friday, once construction begins.

The $6.2 million roadrealignment project is expected to be completed by midOctober, according to San Juan Island National Historical Park Superintendent Lee Taylor.

“We realize there will be some disruption of daily life for islanders and some inconvenience for visitors,” Taylor said See GO, Page 4

By Emily Greenberg Journal Reporter

Born into a rapidly developing country, only a few years after genocide raged within its borders, Rwandan students Zula Mucyo and Michaella Ibambasi of Spring Street International School share a deep connection with the place they call home.

“I feel like I’m a citizen of Rwanda and there’s a responsibility I have toward my country,” Michaella said. “If every young adult that studied abroad stayed here or in other countries, we wouldn’t do well.”

The promise is far from being fulfilled.

And, it remains to be seen whether the public safety agencies of San Juan County will ever band together to share the cost of maintenance and operations of a newly built, federally funded vessel equipped with twin Volvo diesel engines, a roomy cabin protected from the elements, a 7-foot-wide “bow ramp” and three times the firefighting capability available in the islands today.

But that doesn’t mean it can’t be used for training.

The Sentinel, a $650,000-plus boat built by federal funds, played a prominent role in at a March 29 marine rescue certification training course hosted by San Juan EMS. The course brought together San Juan Island firefighters and EMS personnel, EMTs from Lopez Island and several sheriff’s department officers as well, 15 in all.

Though EMS passed on partnering on the boat with the Sheriff ’s office in the past, Chief Jim Cole said a potential arrangement on a level warranted by the agency’s limited use of on-the-water resources is still on the radar.

Policies and safety procedures would still need to be agreed upon and in place, he said.

Neither of the girls have been back home to Rwanda since they began their studies in Friday Harbor, and while their traditions and families are greatly missed, they’re grateful for the opportunity to attend school in the United

States.

Lopez man dies in high-speed collision The San Juan County Sheriff 's Department identified 36-year-old Corey Fletcher as the victim of a fatal collision March 30 on Lopez Island.

Fletcher died of severe injuries suffered in a singlecar, rollover collision in the early afternoon of March 30. Fletcher was found inside an overturned vehicle and unconscious when deputies arrived at the scene at about 2:30 p.m.

He was determined to be deceased at the scene.

Fletcher was eastbound in the 200 block of Islandale Road and traveling at a high-rate of speed when he apparently lost control of the four-door Volkswagon sedan he was driving while on a fairly straight stretch of roadway, according to Undersheriff Brent Johnson.

The sedan went into a counter-clockwise spin and struck several trees along the side of the roadway before coming

to a stop, upside down, Johnson said. The 36-year-old was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the collision, he added.

An autopsy is being conducted by the Snohomish Medical Examiner.

Johnson confirmed that Fletcher, a Lopez Island resident, had been pulled over for speeding the day before the fatal crash and let go with a warning.

Fletcher is the second person to die in a single-vehicle collision in San Juan County in the past five months. A 43-year-old Orcas Island man died in mid-November after losing control of his motorcycle on an S-curve on Upper Deer Harbor Road and struck a tree, less than a mile from home.

Islandale Road, located at the south end of the island, is the primary road connecting the neighborhoods of Hunter and Mud bays to Mud Bay Road.

Court briefs Orcas man faces charges of felony assault, child rape

of third-degree rape of a child, a Class C felony, and to one count of seconddegree assault with a deadly weapon, a Class B felony.

According to court documents, the alleged victim first contacted Stovall, a tattoo artist, in a professional capacity because she was seeking to get a tattoo.

The two reportedly then met in early spring of 2012 at a Burlington motel to perform the procedure and at which time, according to prosecutors, Stovall later sexually assaulted her.

An Orcas Island man accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl three years ago, and of threatening the then-15-year-old with a handgun on one occasion, is slated to stand trial on a pair of felonies in midAugust.

On March 27, Christopher D. Stovall, 39, pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count

Prosecutors claim the two later met at Stovall's Orcas Island home in early January of 2013 and on that occasion that he provided her with alcohol and marijuana, threatened her with a handgun and sexually assaulted her.

Stovall has no criminal history, according to court documents.

A Class B felony, seconddegree assault with a deadly weapon carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both.

Shoplifting leads to 45-day jail term for heroin

An Orcas Island woman who was carrying a syringe loaded with heroin in her brassiere at the time she was arrested for shoplifting will serve a 45-day sentence following a felony drug conviction.

On March 27, Rachelle Leanne Engelmann-Murray, 22, pleaded guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of possession of heroin, a Class C felony.

The 22-year-old was sentenced three days later and ordered to serve 45 days in jail and to pay $800 in fines and fees. A charge of thirddegree theft was dismissed.

Under the sentence handed down by Judge Don Eaton, she will be allowed to receive 45 days of inpatient drug treatment in lieu of jail. She will serve 12 months of probation after the sentence is completed.

According to court documents, Engelmann-Murray had about $285 in stolen merchandise in her posses-

sion when taken into custody March 11 near the ferry landing in Friday Harbor, shortly before noon. Several shop owners had alerted authorities about the missing merchandise and that they believed the 22-yearold was responsible.

While in custody and prior to searching her person and possessions, Englemann-Murray reportedly acknowledged to deputies she had a sharp object in her clothing and turned over the drug-loaded syringe.

Orcas buoyed by another newborn Population reaches 81 following birth of fourth calf in three months Whale-watch enthusiasts spotted another new addition to J-pod near Active Pass, British Columbia, March 30.

When first sighted, the killer whale calf still showed tale-tell signs of fetal folds, indicating it was only a few days old.

Known as J-52, the newborn is presumably a member of 42-year-old J-16’s matriline, the group it was seen swimming with. This family also includes a calf born just before the new year, J-51.

“We’re just going on the basis of photographs by other people,” said Ken Balcomb, founder of the Center for Whale Research. “We don’t want to prematurely say who the mom is.”

Balcomb said it’s too early to tell who J-52’s mom is, because after giving birth to a 500-pound baby, another female will often take on the role as “babysitter” before the mother recuperates and begins nursing.

The mother won’t be determined until the Center can properly observe the calf. The whales were headed north to feed in the Strait of Georgia, and their return to local waters could be anywhere from one day to a few weeks, Balcomb said. J-52 is the fourth newborn Southern Resident since the new year, but it’s not necessarily indicative of a baby

boom.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve had so many in such a short time,” Balcomb said. “We’ve had upwards of seven to eight born in a year.”

Balcomb also credits an increased effort in monitoring the orcas throughout the winter, as well as being in tune with whale-watchers, for the sightings of new calves over the past six months.

Continued from page 1 “The vast majority of what we do is not on the water,” Cole said. “We’re considering some type of agreement but we would want to play our appropriate role in that.”

Cole said the number of on-the-water calls have dropped by about half in the past couple of years--five in 2013 compared to a dozen in 2012 and 2013--and the agency relies both on the San Juan Island Fire & Rescue’s fireboat and a partnership with Vessel Assist for the few calls in which it does respond.

The Sheriff ’s Department, which took possession of the Sentinel nearly a year ago, has a pending partnership for operation of the boat with the fire departments on San Juan and Shaw. The fire districts on Orcas and Lopez, as well as

San Juan EMS, opted out of what had initially been conceived as a partnership between all the county’s public safety agencies.

Newly elected Sheriff Ron Krebs said putting together departmental policies and procedures for greater use of the Sentinel has been a top priority during his first three months in office.

Policies are nearly in place, a deputy with experience piloting boats, Zach Reimer was hired in December, and the department is nearly ready for full-scale use of the boat, Krebs said.

“Basically, the boat has been sitting at the dock since it got here,” he said.

Although San Juan Island Fire Department has a tentative agreement with the sheriff ’s office, it has yet to sign on the dotted line, Chief Steve Marler said. He envisions that a cost-sharing plan will be finalized and the department and

managed private preserve.

You’ll notice that this book is mostly a collection of camping spots run by public agencies (National Parks, State Parks, Department of Natural Resources, and so on).

Generally, I try to stay away from privately run camping organizations because they usually do not meet my camping criteria, are almost always monopolized by RVs, and aren’t exactly the kind of places where you can count on respectful camp neighbors.

The health of a private campground is also dependant on the owner’s ability to run it in the black, and it often reflects a tight operating budget and a make-do mentality – not unlike a lot of landlords I’ve known in my time.

Every once in a while, along comes an exception to the rule. Lopez Farm Cottages and Tent Camping easily qualifies as a worthwhile destination for creatively blending this island’s mostneeded services (thoughtful tent camping and private cottages) tastefully and practically. If you plan to bring the kids, however, think again. Lopez Farm accommodates no one under age 14 (except an adorable assortment of the four-legged variety – mostly lambs, fawns and baby rabbits.

Just minutes from the Lopez Island ferry terminal and only 1 mile from the village of Lopez, Lopez Farm is picturesque – situated in the middle of a broad, rolling meadow…”

Home: Continued from page 1 finish her junior year. Both girls are on full scholarships to Spring Street and were students at the Gashora Girls Academy, Spring Street’s partner Rwandan School.

The Rwandan academy is an upper-secondary boarding school founded by the Seattle-based Rwanda Girls Initiative. The school has the capacity for only 270 students, who are admitted largely based on the scores of the Rwandan schooling system’s national exam.

Friday Harbor native Jennie McCulloch, who teaches at Gashora in Rwanda, said the girls who attend the academy are essentially the smartest in the country, which is clearly evident after talking to Zula and Michaella.

At the tender ages of 17 and 18, these foreign-exchange students are fluent and articulate in multiple languages, more mature than the average high schooler and acutely aware of the social revolution going on back home.

“Rwanda is really rising up from its ashes,” Zula said, “to have a united society where everyone participates.”

In traditional Rwandan culture, girls are expected to dress, sit, and address people a certain way. They’re expected to be more elegant and less bold, Michaella said.

“But new Rwanda is more western and those norms are on their way out,” she said.

Still, it wasn’t exactly easy for the girls’ parents to send their young daughters off to a foreign country, especially because it won’t be until after graduation that they are reunited.

Despite this, Zula’s parents pushed her to accept a scholarship at Spring Street. While Michaella’s parents were apprehensive for her to be on her own, they soon learned to trust her.

Since arriving in Friday Harbor the girls have had an array of first-time experiences, like flying on an airplane, learning to swim and riding a bicycle. In her spare time Zula takes hip-hop dance classes and acts in the school play.

Michaella is taking a ballet class and recently joined the San Juan Singers.

bluff and the threat of road collapse prompted San Juan County officials to begin planning in 2001 for relocating that stretch of roadway. Though erosion varies at different points along that 1.27-mile stretch of road, each year roughly 1.5 to 2 feet of the bluff tumbles to the waterfront far below, on average, according to Shannon Wilbur, project engineer for the county Public Works department.

A distance of only 30 feet separate the edge of the bluff and roadway at the closest point, Wilbur said.

“It does vary from year to year but sometimes the amount of bluff that’s lost to erosion can be dramatic,”

like a distant memory, like the native “Amaraba” dance.

In Rwandan culture the cow is sacred. The dance imitates the gentleness in which the animals walks and the boldness of its horns. Michaella would like the opportunity to teach people here the dance she loves so much.

Coming to school in Friday Harbor is worth more than just cultural exchange and first time experiences. The opportunity to study at Spring Street is a stepping stone toward Michaella and Zula’s future.

“I was never hoping for my parents to pay for me to go to college here, or even in Rwanda, where some schools are very expensive,” Michaella said.

Michaella may still be an entire year away from college but it’s certainly what she’s working toward. Zula was recently offered a full scholarship to attend Quest University in British Columbia.

Even with this exciting news on the frontier, home is not far from her thoughts.

“The whole point of this is to study in developed countries and bring that knowledge back to Rwanda,” she said.

she said. “In the last couple of years it hasn’t been a whole lot.”

At its south end, Cattle Point Road connects the neighborhoods of Cape San Juan and Cattle Point Estates to the rest of the island, and it provides access to a historic lighthouse and a popular viewpoint that looks out over the intense tidal action in Cattle Pass and to the Olympic Mountain Range beyond.

The County Council recently awarded the $6.2 million project contract to Bellingham-based Strider Construction. A $5.5 million federal grant, secured in June 2012 out of $42 mil-

lion awarded that year by the Federal Lands Access Program, will pay for the bulk of the relocation project.

Starting at Pickett’s Lane, the stretch of road that now winds along the base of Mount Finlayson will be moved 300 feet uphill from its current location.

The right-of-way will pass about 150 feet below the 1.5-mile ridge trail traversing its summit. The network of hiking trails that weave through Jakle’s Lagoon and Mount Finlayson will be unaffected by the realignment and remain open during construction, Taylor said.

Construction will proceed in accordance with the project’s final environmental impact statement. The National Park Service is taking measures to minimize impacts on the rare island marble butterfly, including a pre-construction survey and removal of host plants to reduce the likelihood of butterflies laying eggs in the construction zone.

The existing roadbed will be re-vegetated with native species as part of a postconstruction reclamation project and as spelled out by the EIS. “It’s going to be re-contoured and re-seeded, and after a while you won’t even know the road was there,” Wilbur said.

James Teasdale: 1943—2015

James Daniel Teasdale, until recently a long-time resident of Friday Harbor, passed away March 26 at the Washington Veterans’ Home in Port Orchard.

Jim was born on April 2, 1943, to Albert and Eveline Teasdale in Detroit, Mich., the eldest of their four children.

He lived in Michigan until joining the Navy, then in Southern California for several decades before moving to Friday Harbor with his family in 1992.

Jim finished his bachelors of science at California State University, Long Beach. He worked for Wycliffe Bible Translators and then as a software test engineer for Xerox.

After moving to Friday Harbor, he worked in the Post Office until he retired in 2011.

Jim was an avid musician. He played trombone in his high school’s honor band, winning several top awards, including a summer at Interlochen Music Camp, and continued to play in the Naval Band. In later years, he played only occasionally, but volunteered to help tutor FHHS band students. His rich, deep voice was often heard blending with The San Juan Singers, The Chordsmen, and with the Presbyterian Church choirs.

Jim enjoyed being out on the water. After his tour of duty on the USS Bainbridge, he lived aboard his own boat in Marina Del Rey, Calif., where he served in the Coast Guard Auxiliary in his spare time. He met Janelle while they were doing search and rescue for the Auxiliary. They were married in 1980, and lived in Long Beach, Calif., for over a decade.

Highlight of visit?

Exhibit at IMA

Recently we were on the island and the highlight of the entire trip was going to the new IMA. It is a unique, beautiful space with perfect lighting for all pieces, which is just what an art museum should be. I love the outside, as it makes such a definitive statement that beckons one to come on in and enjoy a wonderful, creative time to replenish heart and soul.

The present exhibit of William Morris glass is a feather in IMA’s cap that they can attract world renowned works. The fabulous display and the accompanying film are something no one should miss... it could compare to anything we’ve seen worldwide.

Lucky Friday Harbor to have this venue. I wish I were there more often to be able to docent. Docenting is great fun and never stagnant as one learns something everyday and the variety makes most “jobs” seem so repetitious and boring.

Looking forward to many more visits to IMA. JUDIE PIERROT Friday Harbor/Fresno

If you or a relative works on this island and has kids, you are aware of the great after school and summer programs that it provides for a nominal fee. They have programs for toddlers, adult drop in sports, senior fitness programs and even maintain the dog park.

Their programs also support the high school athletic program and Music on the Lawn during the summer.

In the future, Island Rec is also going to be asked to maintain the new Carter Fields. These fields will be an amazing addition to the island.

So again, please remember to vote… vote “Yes”… and return your ballot.

Board meetings now a ‘click’ away

A request was made a few months ago that the San Juan County Hospital Board consider live or video streaming of their meetings so more of the public could be involved without having to physically attend.

The initial setup cost, along with the annual fee was minimal, but the Board cited budgetary constraints and wasn’t sure if there was enough public interest, and rejected it.

With help from a handful of people, and the permission from the County Council, the request for live-streaming was presented to the Board once again and they were strongly persuaded to vote in favor, which now allows for a

San Juan Island is a special place filled with extraordinary people, wildlife and vistas.

The true quality of a community must also be gauged by the educational offerings and programs we provide to not only our students, but to those in every represented age group.

Island Rec is more than just a park and recreation district; it engenders the very amenities that provide our island with a quality of life unmatched in this state.

To be a member of a community is to take on certain responsibilities for one another. We owe a level of empathy, generosity and care that lift us from ordinary to exceptional. We all benefit from programs and resources that enrich our society.

Island Rec provides these very amenities. This levy includes a new 8-cent assessment that will allow Island Rec to handle the maintenance and operations of the 30-acre San

We all look to Island Rec to provide us with parks and trails, as well as movies, music and art. This levy provides the funding necessary to keep high school sports alive on San Juan Island.

it has become a tradition on San Juan Island for the graduating seniors of Friday Harbor High School to enjoy a safe and sane, allnight graduation celebration.

This celebration is a final gathering of the senior class to enjoy a night of safe and fun activities planned, in secret, by their parents, with the help of many community members.

It takes almost a full year of planning and fundraising to create, and it could not be done without the help and generosity of our terrific community.

Our fundraising activities began with Fair Parking in August and before we knew it our senior students were taking your orders for Holiday Wreaths. We sold out our first delivery and had to place an order for additional wreaths.

Key to salmon recovery? Demolition Driving? Put inefficient, salmon killers; down the phone Costly, lower Snake River dams must go

his might reach more people if we were to send it as a text or broadcast it on social media.

But in case you didn’t know, April is National Distracted Driver’s Awareness Month. So, put down the cell-phone while you’re driving, pull over if need be, but we’re encouraging all drivers to keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.

And, so is the sheriff.

Here’s what he has to say: This is the month where we, as first responders and safety coalitions nationwide, put a strong emphasis on safety on our roadways.

In the San Juan islands we have more than your average number of people walking, hiking, and biking around our county. As such, the effects of distracted drivers can be felt so much more than in larger, more urban areas.

In 2012, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimated 3,328 people were killed in crashes involving distracted driving and that an estimated 421,000 people were injured in motor vehicle crashes where the driver was either texting or talking on their cell-phones.

Drivers who use cell-phones while driving are over four times more likely to be involved in a crash (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety).

For the month of April, the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office will be putting an emphasis on distracted driving and cell-phone use. We will have extra patrols out throughout the month enforcing cell-phone laws in an effort to keep runners, walkers, and bikers who share the roadways with automobiles safe.

Please drive responsibly and put the phone down or pull over to the side of the roadway to talk.

Now, you’ve been warned.

Special to the Journal

T

he Governor’s Salmon Recovery Office recently reported in a Journal article that nearly half of the 15 salmon populations listed under the federal Endangered Species Act are increasing.

What base are they using to measure this increase? Are populations doing better than when listed under the ESA (already a crashed population) or a century ago?

A concept overlooked by fish managers is called “shifting baseline syndrome,” a term coined in 1995 by fisheries biologist Dr. Daniel Pauly.

What this term essentially means is that in order to maximize recovery efforts, biologists must look at the real historical abundance as a baseline. If we base our counts off of salmon in an already degraded state, we will only see an incremental lowering of standards over time and thus harm real progress for our efforts. An article entitled ‘Gaining Perspective on What We’ve Lost: The Reliability of Encoded Anecdotes in Historical Ecology’ (tinyurl.com/ HistoricalEcology) further explains this concept.

In order to make valiant strides in salmon recovery, we must look back to a “pre-dam” landscape, a time when free flowing, cold, and oxygen-rich rivers were the natural habitat for millions of wild adult salmon and steelhead returning from long ocean journeys back to their native spawning grounds.

Former Secretary of the Interior Bruce Scott Herning Babbit recently stated: “In the space of two decades, dam removal has evolved from a novelty to an accepted means of river restoration.” In that time, federal agencies have spent nearly $10 billion on recovery in the Columbia/Snake River basins, yet according to Taxpayers for Common Sense, “there is little conclusive evidence to quantify the extent of their [recovery actions] effects on returning fish populations.”

Breaching dams shows much promise for salmon recovery in the Pacific Northwest. The removal of the Elwha and Glines Canyon dams in the Olympic National Park were the largest in U.S. history. This shows that Washington state can lead the country in habitat restoration.

It’s been five years since demolition began and researchers are already seeing a “Return of the River” for the first time in over 100 years. In 2014, 432 chinook were counted between the former sites of these dams. It’s amazing how efficiently wild stocks and habitat provide us with a “return on investment” once aged and costly structures are removed.

Another group of dams that have been debated for removal for decades are the four lower Snake River dams in southeast Washington. A majority of fish experts agree with breaching these dams, which would open the gateway to 5,500 miles of intact spawning and rearing streams that run through 15 million acres of wilderness.

A revision of the lower Snake River feasibility report shows that these dams are costing Washington taxpayers $160 million dollars per year. After the last dam on the lower Snake was completed in 1975, salmon populations began a journey toward extinction that continues today.

The recently passed Clean Energy Initiative requires large utilities in Washington state to obtain 15 percent of their electricity from new renewable resources, such as solar and wind, by 2020, and to undertake cost-effective energy conservation. Dams disrupt and kill migrating fish, reduce water quality and degrade waterways. Hydropower is not deemed a new renewable resource under this initiative.

Now is the time to breach the four lower Snake River dams to recover wild salmon and steelhead, habitat and wasted taxpayer dollars.

Island Rec fills the void when others pass

Regional salmon runs show signs of growth but many, including Chinook, are believed to be only 10 percent of historical levels.

I

am not enough of a language scholar to be able to confidently translate this phrase into Latin, but I would propose the above as an apt motto for Island Rec. Here are some examples which support my position: The Sailing Foundation and Yacht Club have the sail boats to provide beginning, intermediate and advanced instruction to island youth but do not have the organizational structure to hire instructors, advertise classes or provide oversight. Island Rec says, “Yes, we can do that.”

The result is a sailing program that starts at age eight and is capped by one of the most successful high school racing programs in the state.

Knowing that dog parks not only provide dogs with a place to run and

From school sports to parks to ball fields, Island Rec has proven up to the challenge play but more importantly connect people and create friendships, a group of island activists in cooperation with Browne’s Home Center raise funds and build a state-of-the-art dog park.

But how can the Dog Park be sustained and maintained? Island Rec says, “Yes, we can do that.” The result is a park that since its first day has enjoyed constant heavy use, yet remains a most pleasant place to enjoy with friends and pets.

The school district is facing the elimination of its sports program due to state and federal cuts and declining enrollment. Yet sports participation and academic achievement are strongly linked, and elimination of

sports will harm overall achievement.

Is there any way our island can come together to keep the sports program we all know is so important?

Island Rec says, “Yes, we can do that.”

The result is that with Island Rec supporting school sports to the tune of $300,000 per year, the school district is able to retain a strong athletic program and has the resources to continue to be ranked as one of the top high schools in the nation.

Similarly, our entire community is sports intensive. We field teams in all kinds of sports across all ages. Use of school district fields is so intense that it is difficult to find few weeks in the year to pause, regrow the turf and keep the fields safe.

The community responds by privately funding the construction of new fields on school district property. But who can afford to maintain the new fields?

Art endangered

by IMA shortfalls

If I can see in clearly, any extant UV/heat remediation is insufficient to protect art inside, or in space adjacent.

A small total footprint created a larger ratio of glass. Predictably, often several days a week, condensation forms (the board has been notified). Any mois-

ture is significant, such repetition critical. Summer will be worse.

Surely, this was foreseen.

Were egos too involved (uneducated, without responsibility to donors?).

These cumulative damages make it very difficult to attract exhibits. Industry professionals require that UV/ heat/RH (relative humidity) stay stable in restricted ranges per 48 hours.

The IMA sees extremes daily, also urgently indicating correct HVAC (heating, ventilation, air-conditioning) was never installed.

Prohibitive power would be needed to protect this ornamental little “art-glass” box.

Also ornamental—street casement windows (lacking HVAC/HEPA filtration, will actively suck dirt, road

exhaust six feet away), and roofline casements (about rising heat?). Opening either endangers art and increases HVAC load.

Gallery lights look very yellow, probably incandescent (LEDs are vastly more protective, and use 1/5 energy).

If you really want to show art, then resolve at least one basic museum/gallery issue properly. Those “responsible” could have avoided any of this in 10 minutes online.

Unduly self-restricted, IMA will be denied insurance necessary to enable various U.S. rentals. Canada has tighter (import) restrictions, but IMA chose B.C. art as a primary goal.

Even only self-insured to “facility” levels, IMA can still be sued for damages,

irrespective of pre-disclosures regarding substandard conditions.

Space has already proven inadequate, (no storage, and one room for all offices).

Offices were offered in the old med center next door until IMA opened. Why didn’t they buy that lot, In a working space, revisiting accreditation would restore access to the various granting agencies IMA discarded.

Disillusioned donors would no longer avoid IMA, as they would no longer find necessary their current “creativity” regarding non-profit tax status.

Speaking of tax creativity, why are ours now advertising IMA (three “Town of FH” banners?). Grrr…

As I See It

What lies behind OPALCO’s utility rate hikes?

By Chom Greacen Special to the Journal

If you find the electricity rate increases—12 percent this year and 41 percent by 2019—alarming, what’s behind the rising rate is worse.

Given OPALCO’s broadband busy-ness lately, how much of the rate increase is due to broadband? OPALCO’s answer is only an average of $3/member/month for 24 months, roughly $1 million total.

So, what explains the sudden need for a 41-percent increase in revenue, or $28 million in accumulated total by 2019? The explanation we often hear from OPALCO is: 1) warming temperatures, and 2) replacement of the submarine cable between Lopez and San Juan.

By OPALCO’s estimate, warmer temperatures in 2014 caused a $1.4 million revenue shortfall, a tiny sum compared to $28 million. The $15 million price tag for the submarine cable is a big surprise compared with earlier estimates of $3.5 million, but when amortized over 30 years at 3 percent, it contributes only $759,000 to OPALCO’s annu-

Investment in fiber grows, expenses climb; coincidence? al expense. In contrast, the increase in revenue requirement in 2015 is $2.7 million.

What else lies behind the rate increases? The answer, I believe, is “grid control backbone,” OPALCO’s code word for fiber optics infrastructure. The obscure terminology is a convenient tool in diverting attention away from OPALCO’s foray into broadband, portraying the rate increases as an unavoidable need on the electrical side.

A close inspection of OPALCO’s 2015 budget reveals curious patterns in “electrical business” items, on OPALCO’s capital projects budget, which happen to skyrocket or suddenly manifest in tandem with the startup of the broadband business (see graph). For example, “underground cable replacement” (read: fiber-optics trenching) expenditure in 2014 quadrupled that of

Sexual Assault Awareness Month: faces of pain among us — Submitted by DVSAS

Is sexual assault even an issue on our islands?

What do the faces of sexual assault look like in our community? Please open your eyes and your heart as you look at: • The tear stained face of a 20-something woman who spent two hours getting ready for a date, only to not remember anything past the after-dinner drink until she woke up the next morning, bloody and sore.

• Or, here’s the angry face of a 10-year-old boy who was sexually assaulted in the bathroom on our local ferry.

• Or, how about the fearfilled face of a 4-year-old girl whose grandfather shattered her heart and her trust when he took advantage of her innocence.

• Here’s the hopeless face of a 32-year-old woman who is forced to take part in sexual activities with her partner that she continually says “No” to.

• Then, there is the 14-year-old girl whose face shows confusion and pain because her teacher broke the law and her heart when he used his position to manipulate her into giving herself away.

• Here is the pain filled face of a 26-year-old whose same-sex partner is using control to keep the sexual assault in their relationship a secret.

One last example is the discouraged face of a 43-year-old man who finally realized the pain he was struggling with all these

years was from wounds he suffered as a child, at the hands of his religious leader.

Statistics tell us that 1-in2 women and 1-in-5 men will experience sexual-violence victimization sometime in their lifetime. And, doesn’t it break your heart to know that 1-in-4 girls and 1-in-7 boys will be sexually violated before their 18th birthday?

And locally, over 95 percent of children who are sexually assaulted know and trust their abuser.

These numbers and faces are your neighbors, coworkers, family and friends.

And there is something you can do about it.

abuse. Then, find out about the resources available in See AMONG US, Page 10

infrastructure.” These items add up to over $25 million, dwarfing the $15 million submarine cable.

Besides capital expenditures, the “electrical” operations budget is also skyrocketing. “Member communications” (PR machine) expenses have more than doubled and will triple, and so will “grid control communication design” expenses. Two communication technician positions and an apprentice were just added to the (electric) operations department this year.

Perhaps these rising costs are partially justified and cost-effective from the electrical perspective. Still, questions remain. How much of these budgeted costs are beyond electrical necessity? And, will there be more to come?

The next article in this series will explore these trends more deeply, including OPALCO’s deteriorating financial situation and its governance issues.

Come and attend an OPALCO candidates forum Thursday, April 9, 7 p.m. at Orcas Library. For the upcoming election of two OPALCO board positions and annual meeting on May 2, make your vote count and your voice heard.

Journal staff report

hat do jumpsuit clad convicts and stewards of the San Juans have in common? Picking up trash on the side of the road, that’s what.

In tune with annual spring-cleaning and Earth Day (April 22), islanders across the archipelago will take to the streets and beaches in the 2015 Great Islands Clean Up, beginning at 9 a.m. on April 18. For the first time, Orcas and Lopez Islands join in the efforts of island-wide litter pickup.

During last year’s clean up, 275 San Juan Island residents collected over 3,800 pounds of litter from 45 miles of roads and beaches. The year before, it was 3,600 pounds. The numbers point to an obvious need for able-bodied islanders to band together and help pick up the trash that’s accumulated between then and now.

“Sadly, our refuse continues to end up as littler,” GIC organizer Lori

Stokes said. “Thoughtless tossing of bottles, cans, food wrappers, or cigarette butts, etcetera, all contribute to the need to make litter pick-up an ongoing effort.”

This year’s GIC is sponsored by multiple organizations including San Juan County, San Juan Sanitation, the Chamber of Commerce and Friends of the San Juans. Free pick-up bags will be available outside the Chamber of Commerce. The office also has a limited amount of trashgrabbers and safety vests for volunteers to borrow.

You can join a group that’s already been formed, or organize one of your own. To clean a road, contact David Dehlendorf at 378-1082, or dauffa@gmail.com. For beach cleaning, contact Jana Marks at 378-2319, or jana@sanjuans.org.

For cleanup information on Orcas, contact Kira Bradshaw at kirabradshaw72@gmail.com. The Lopez organizer is Nikyta Palmisani, nikytap@ lopezsolidwaste.org.

Guest Column

Family affair: behind the scenes at the San Juan Singers

Submitted by San Juan Singers Special to the Journal

Tired of match.com? Try a singing group instead.

At least, singing was the path to true love for Judy and Denny Holm, married 52 years. They met while auditioning for a musical in college and have been singing together ever since, most recently with the San Juan Singers.

“Singing has always been the basis of our marriage,” says Judy with the secret smile she wears when talking about her husband.

San Juan Singers rehearsals are almost akin to date night, to hear Madelyn and Dennis Busse talk.

“Driving home, we are likely to discuss anything,” says Madelyn, “from which music we most enjoy, to the beauty of the stars and moon, to news we’ve picked up from our fellow singers.” The Busses have participated in 11 concerts together.

Lest anyone think San Juan Singers rehearsals are only a place for lovebirds or, ahem, “singin’ singles,” there’s plenty of salt and vinegar to spice up the group as well. Case in point, Patty Bair who sings in the group with her sister,

Jacque. The sisters find the group a welcome opportunity to get out and about and see each other.

Several moms have found San Juan Singers a good place to spend time with their teenage daughters. Penelope Haskew and her daughter Chiara, Amy Hull and daughter Macalister, Trudy and Joely Loucks, and Jill and Lucy Urbach have all participated in SJS concerts together.

While the Urbachs enjoy the music and challenge of singing in a top-notch choir, Lucy appreciates that the shared experience “gives us more to talk about.” Surprisingly (given that several of her friends are in the choir), when asked what she likes best about the Singers, Lucy replies, “Getting to talk [with mom] in the car rides.”

Any parent of a teen knows how valuable that time can be. One of the things Jill likes best is watching other interested adults interact with her daughter and support her.

“Director Angel Michaels is a knowledgeable and positive mentor,” Urbach says. “Other adults in the choir set the example of commitment and focus for something they do purely for the joy of it.”

Weekly San Juan Singers rehearsals are a bit like a big family reunion. You may not know everyone there, but you’re drawn together by a NSWERS TO UZZLES shared sense of community

and purpose. What could be better than that?

The San Juan Singers’ spring concert, “America the Beautiful,” is Saturday, April 11 at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, April 12 at 5:00 p.m. at the San Juan Community Theatre. Tickets: $16 adults, $8 students, available online, www.sjctheatre. org, or SJCT box office, 378-3210.

Prep sports briefs FH prevails in one-run victory

Sophomore Kai Herko scattered three hits over seven innings and gave up one run to post his second win of the season and lead Friday Harbor to its fourth consecutive victory, a narrow 2-1 win on the road, April 2, over division 2A Bellingham.

The Wolverines (5-1) snapped a scoreless tie in the sixth inning as seniors

Brandin Allen and Gabe Lawson drove in one run apiece in what would prove to be game-winning backto-back RBIs. The Red Raiders (2-8) scored their only run of the game in the bottom half of the sixth to trim the deficit to a single run, but that's as close as they would get.

Senior Peter Holt had two base hits, including a double, and James Guard had three.

"It was a great team win with some outstanding defense, good pitching and clutch hits," Coach Rich Warin said.

The Wolverines notched their third win in league play two days earlier in a 10-0 rout in five innings at home over Darrington.

Next The Wolverines will host a double-header against Shoreline Christian, Friday, April 17; game-time is 4

p.m. at Hartman Field.

Golf team scores win over Lobos

Keegan Herbert and Cole Thomas led Friday Harbor to its first victory over Lopez High School in recent memory, March 31 at San Juan Golf & Country Club. They each shot 47 over nine holes to share low-score honors with Eric Johns of Lopez.

Jesse Kolowitz shot a 50, Jordan Davis notched 52 and Dylan Posenjak tallied a personal-best 55, as the Wolverines five lowest scorers outpaced the Lobos lowest five by 16 strokes, 251 to 267.

Senior Sam Paul-Barrette just missed the low-five cut, with a personal-best 56.

Next Friday Harbor travels to Orcas Tuesday, April 14, and to Lopez April 21.

50th ANNIVERSARY VIETNAM WAR COMMEMORATION LOCAL EVENTS APRIL 12-17 Seattle and Washington State have an unusual role in the Vietnam War Commemoration, a national initiative to thank Vietnam veterans a half century after the United States rapidly escalated its deployment of troops to South Vietnam following the Gulf of Tonkin incident. Many of the troops who returned home were met with disdain rather than with the thanks that veterans of other conflicts received.

Joe Galloway, the Vietnam correspondent who authored the book “We Were Soldiers Once... And Young” (adapted into the 2002 film “We Were Soldiers”), is in Seattle for a week of interviews with local Vietnam veterans. He will speak at Seattle Rotary’s noon luncheon April 15 and will be featured at a breakfast interview session at the Columbia Tower Club on April 17.

The Vietnam War Commemoration is aimed at spurring events and activities in states, cities and towns around the country to recognize Vietnam veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice.

The partners’ program is designed for state and local communities, veterans’ organizations and other nongovernmental organizations to assist in thanking and honoring Vietnam Veterans and their families.

Vietnam author Galloway to visit Seattle Joe Galloway, the Vietnam correspondent whose book “We Were Soldiers Once… and Young” and the movie “We Were Soldiers” that was produced from it, will be in Seattle doing a week of interviews with Vietnam veterans as a special project for the 50th Anniversary Commemorative.

Galloway has been going around the country doing three two-hour interviews a day with Vietnam veterans from across the services spectrum and by now has well over 75 two-hour interviews done, as he explained it, “beginning with Colin Powell and working outward.”

Galloway was a Texas boy who became a correspondent for United Press International and, in the battle of Ia Drang that his book and its movie adaptation made famous, he was decorated for heroism on the battlefield, receiving the bronze star for rescuing two wounded soldiers while under fire. He was praised by the late Gen. Norman Schwartzkopf as “the soldiers’ reporter” because of his caring and regard for those whose battles he covered.
