San Juan Fire and Rescue spent approximately six hours Monday June 29 and around 100,000 gallons of seawater on the fire on Goose Island, according to Steve Marler, fire chief. The fire was allegedly started by a homemade firecracker after being launched off a boat that was close to Goose Island June 26. Initial attempts to put it out resulted in the decision to let it burn itself out. Goose Island is a private nature preserve owned by the Nature Conservancy and is not within fire district boundaries. “As far as we’re concerned that is an island that we let nature take its course on,” said Goose Island Steward Phil Green. “People don’t visit it and I go to it very rarely.” The Department of Natural Resources also does not cover Goose Island for fire protection and much of their resources are focused on wildfires in eastern Washington. The Fire and Rescue team had been working around nests and

birds on the ground, as well as protective parents swooping overhead. “Our goal was two-fold,” Marler said. “To protect the rest of the nests and to protect residents from the smoke that’s been blowing over the island, particularly people with health issues.” Thursday, July 2, a press release from the Nature Conservancy in tandem with local fire, wildlife and law enforcement stated that “the continued application of salt water onto this protected nesting area has the potential to do more harm than good.” Firefighting chemicals typically used on fires are harmful to the marine environment and could not be used on Goose Island. According to the press release there are “fifty or more pelagic cormorants still on their nests, and some gulls will be successful. Other nesting birds will return to the island once the fire is gone.” Goose Island is home to a number of seabirds including nesting cormorants, glaucous-winged gulls and oystercatchers.

Crack down on illegal vacation rentals By Meredith M. Griffith Sounder contributor

San Juan County has created a database of all vacation lodging being advertised in the county to ensure that all units are registered under a state business license, have a county transient lodging permit, and are paying the appropriate state and county sales and lodging taxes. The council is also examining how the proliferation of vacation rentals might be affecting the availability of long-term, affordable housing that supplies the county’s middle working class. “It began as an issue of parity,” said San Juan County Councilman Rick Hughes. “I personally support transient lodging as long as people are playing by the rules. Anyone who’s par-

Council looks at transient rentals’ effect on long-term rental housing availability ticipating in short-term rentals needs to follow the law and be filing and paying lodging and sales taxes.” Because short-term rental owners who have not been paying taxes have an unfair advantage over those who do comply, this April the county council passed Resolution 12-2015. It requires local visitors’ bureaus and chambers of commerce receiving funding from the county to collect the following information from their lodging members and transient rental listings: a tax parcel number; a transient lodging permit; and a valid state Unified Business

Identifier (UBI#). This data, along with online listings like Vrbo.com and Airbnb and county GPS data, is being used to complete a cross-referenced database of all transient rentals. Unlicensed lodgings will be notified. As the council, county staff and related organizations gathered this data, ”it morphed into another question,” said Hughes. “Are affordable housing units being lost to short-term rentals?” By law, rentals of less than 30 days require a UBI# and a transient rental permit; longer rental terms require no permits and

no license. Anecdotal evidence suggests that local businesses are having a harder time lately finding and keeping good workers, and that long-term working tenants are losing out to the recent conversion of low-cost housing units into higher-profit vacation rentals. County records show 608 in San Juan County. There is currently no limit on the number of transient rentals allowed in the county, but guest houses outside the UGA cannot be used for vacation rental. The county council asked the Housing Bank Commission to report on whether an increase in vacation rentals is having an impact on affordable housing availability countywide. “Information from employers See RENTALS, Page 4

June 24 • A deputy was dispatched to the area of White Beach Road and Polar Circle Eastsound in regards to a vehicle roll over accident that occurred at some time. The vehicle had been abandoned at the scene. The driver was found the next day and admitted he was ejected from vehicle and fled. • A deputy responded to McBarron Lane on Lopez Island for a damaged car window complaint. The vehicle was unoccupied when the window was damaged. There was no evidence as to how or who did it or if it was done intentionally.

It was determined that the reporting victim had received several threatening text messages from a known subject. • A deputy responded to investigate a reported one-vehicle crash in Friday

Harbor. The vehicle was towed from the scene and there were no injuries. • A Lopez Island woman reported finding a gun case laying along the roadway. No gun was inside. • A Lopez deputy was sent to check on two dogs that had been left home alone for two days, allegedly without food and water.

San Juan EMS buys new-used ambulance San Juan EMS recently bought a used ambulance from the fire department in Woodinville, Wa. to replace a 22 year old Ford E-350 model ambulance. It was determined by researching industry standards, Emergency Vehicle Technicians recommendations, and operational cost vs replacement calculations that 20 years should be the maximum years to own an ambulance with rural use. Initially the EMS was looking into buying a new ambulance for $140,000-180,000. Ben Waldron,

EMS Operations Director, saw the ambulance for sale online that fit the agency’s needs and regulations in April. Master Emergency Vehicle Mechanic Paul Spencer inspected the vehicle before EMS purchased the 2004 ambulance that has approximately 50,000 miles on it for $35,000. The ambulance will go into service after being licensed and upgraded. The next ambulance will be replaced in 2017, a Ford E-350 from 1997.

Orcas man’s death ruled as drowning By Anna V. Smith Journal Reporter

DAN LEVIN ORIGINAL DESIGN ©

The autopsy of an Orcas Island man found off of a North Whidbey beach June 24 showed he died of saltwater drowning, according to Island County coroner Robert Bishop. The man, David Fleischmann, 66, worked at the Madrona Bar and Grill restaurant on Orcas Island. Bishop said Fleischmann was at his work around noon on Tuesday, June 23 on Orcas, and did not show up for his scheduled work shift at 4 p.m. that day. He was seen eating dinner at a different restaurant on the island later on Tuesday. Bishop reviewed ferry surveillance footage after

police found Fleischmann’s car at the Orcas Island ferry dock. Bishop said he didn’t see any obvious signs of trauma. Fleischmann was seen boarding the 10:30 p.m. ferry June 23, on a sailing from Orcas Island to Anacortes. He was seen multiple times on the footage, the last time at around 11:40 p.m. when he walked to the back of the ferry. He did not get off the ferry when it docked in Anacortes. Wednesday, June 24 at around 3:37 p.m.

Undersheriff Kelly Mauck said a citizen on the beach, which is near Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, saw the body floating in the surf Wednesday afternoon. The citizen pulled the body to shore, covered it and called 911. Fleischmann lived alone on Orcas and his only family is out of state. Joanna Massey, circulation manager for the Journal and the Sounder, worked with Fleischmann for a year at Madrona Bar and Grill. “He had a great sense of humor. He had a sarcas-

tic wit that would deliver a better comeback than you could deliver,” said Massey. “He was tough but sweet, calling the girls he worked

with ‘darling.’” Jessie Stensland, Whidbey News-Times co-editor and Cali Bagby contributed to this story.

Refuse To Abuse hese days, professional T sports teams are expected to publicly address domestic

and sexual violence. When they get it wrong, the public lets them hear about it. But that wasn’t always the case. In 1995, the Seattle Mariners were in a race for the Western Division Pennant and fans adopted the phrase “Refuse to Lose” to cheer them on. It was the first time the team advanced to the American League Championship Series and it was a time when no one in professional sports was talking about domestic violence. The Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WSCADV) asked the Mariners if they would collaborate on a domestic violence prevention campaign. The Mariners response? “Yes. It’s the right thing to do.” Since that day, the two organizations have partnered on this effort. Refuse To Abuse® includes print, radio, and television public service announcements featuring prominent Mariners players speaking out against domestic violence and promoting healthy, respectful relationships. Having credible, professional male athletes speak out on this issue helps send a powerful message to young people. A few years ago, Refuse To Abuse® expanded to include a 5K fun run/walk to raise money for WSCADV’s violence prevention work and create an opportunity for Mariners fans to join them and help end domestic violence. The only run to take place entirely at Safeco Field—the course goes through every level of the ballpark, from the top to the players tunnel to a final lap around the field—the event encourages participants to start conversations about healthy relationships with young people and gives them concrete tools to do so. For the past nineteen years, the Seattle Mariners have done more than just talk about helping raise awareness about this issue, they have stood firm in their leadership role. If you need another reason to feel good about cheering for the Mariners, Refuse To Abuse® is a good one. Register today for the Goodwill Refuse To Abuse® 5K at Safeco Field at refusetoabuse5k.org. To find the domestic violence program in your community, visit wscadv.org or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800799-7233 or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY). Kelly Starr

Dry summer conditions cause fire FH Grand B&B wins civic award concern, burn ban on islands Smoky skies

Islanders woke up to smoky skies the morning of July 5 after a fire on Portage Island, which is near Lummi Island. While that blaze has been extinguished, there are currently 69 fires in British Columbia that is causing hazy, smoky air. “We don’t know when at this point will clear up,” said Acting Fire Chief Mik Presyz for Orcas Island.

“Those who have allergies or asthma are encouraged to stay indoors.”

Other fires

At 6:30 a.m. on July 3, Orcas Island Fire and Rescue responded to a report of a wildland fire in the area of Mountain Lake. Responding crews found a small vegetation fire approximately 40 feet by 30 feet. An immediate response from more than

25 personnel and eight apparatus helped to quickly secure and suppress the fire scene. State Park crews will be monitoring the area for a minimum of seven days. There will also be signs posted in the area for hikers to be on lookout for area hot spots. The exact cause of the fire is human caused, likely from cigarette butts. Preliminary reports indicate this was a fire in the forest duff. Duff is the layer of decaying forest litter consisting of organic material such as pine needles, leaves, plant and tree materials covering the mineral soil.

Fire ban

The San Juan County Fire Marshal’s Office in partnership with the San Juan County Fire Chiefs’ have determined that current weather conditions within the islands have created substantial fire dangers and that there is a need to enact restriction on outdoor burning to all lands regulated by the county. This ban applies to all outdoor burning, including land clearing, yard debris and recreational fires. The use of gas, charcoal and propane self-contained stoves and barbeques will continue to be allowed under the ban.

The Town of Friday Harbor has presented its fourth Civic Pride Award to Farhad Ghatan for his detailed and thoughtful renovation of a Blair Avenue property into the recently opened Friday Harbor Grand bed and breakfast. This turn-of-the-century home, located at 345 Blair Avenue, was built by and for one of the town founders, and the county’s first probate judge, Judge John Bowman. The property is often referred to as the Capron House for longtime owner and two-term mayor Dr. Victor Capron. In recent years the home was known as Blair House bed and breakfast and the Spring Street School dormitory. Ghatan purchased the property in March 2014, and invested over a year in renovating the property and extensively landscaping the grounds. “The community now gets to enjoy viewing a beautiful addition to the recently renovated Blair Street neighborhood,” said Town Administrator Duncan Wilson. The Town completed a major renovation of the street in 2014 that included new sidewalks, lighting, railings, landscaping, and decorative grating as well as new street surfacing. The Town began providing Civic Pride Awards last year in recognition of citizens who have made an exceptional effort and investment in beautifying the Town.

and local business suggest that long-term yearround rentals are becoming increasingly hard to find,” stated the June 22 response. “The role that increase in short-term “vacation” rentals plays in this dilemma is not known at this time.” The commission called the following three affordable housing needs “critical”: affordable home ownership opportunities; affordable long-term rentals; and affordable seasonal worker housing. The report added, “The issue is not limited to residents at or below 80 percent of Area Median Income to which state and Federal

funds can be applied. In San Juan County, affordable housing issues affect those up to and beyond 120 percent of AMI.” The commission recommended further study and suggested some possible strategic solutions: explore incentives for landowners to create long-term affordable rentals, such as density bonuses; add land to the UGA for permanent affordable housing; and identify additional funding opportunities like Community Development Block Grants to increase affordable housing stock. “There have been a lot of suggestions about what might be done,” said county Affordable Housing Coordinator Melanie Rollins, “but at this point it is at the investigation stage.”

Port projects update The Friday Harbor Port Commission approved a construction contract with Wellman and Zuck for the Spring Street Landing Commercial Building. The publicly bid project was awarded to Wellman and Zuck in the amount of $5.375 million. This project will begin immediately, with the goal of completing the building in time for the 2016 summer season. Port Director Marilyn O’Connor acknowledged that construction will impact visitors and activity along the waterfront. Access to the passenger ferry terminal and businesses on the Spring Street Pier will be maintained through the summer season.

“We intend to work closely with the contractor to create safe pedestrian passage and vehicle access along Front Street throughout the construction period. We want to thank our neighbors and community in advance for understanding the need to get this project underway.” The Port Commissioners also approved a lease with Four Ladies Corporation, parent company of Downriggers Restaurant. The restaurant will occupy the building’s upper level, with both inside and seasonal outside seating looking over the harbor. The downstairs offices will be leased to several water related businesses.

Letters to the Editor

Isn’t there a better way?

I have seen horrible suffering at end of life and for some people there must be a better way to die than writhing in pain. I have heard it said many times, “we treat our animals better than we do dying people. I was a fairly new nurse when the Death with Dignity Law was passed in Washington State. I remember that there was heightened anxiety about the new law and what it meant for my place of employment, the doctors and nurses and our patients. There was very little information available and therefore ignorance and fear leading to conjecture and posturing. The law has been in place now for some years and it might be a good time to review how the law came to be and what impact it has had on our State and community. I invite you to attend a discussion given by Dr. Tom Preston a retired cardiologists living in the San Juan Islands on how we die, suffering at end of life and the Death with Dignity Law. Dr. Preston was instrumental in writing the Washington State Death with Dignity Law and thus has a unique insight and perspective. Hospice of San Juan hosts the “Coping with Change” series on the third Wednesday of each

month from 6 to 7:30 pm, at the San Juan Library. Dr. Preston will make his presentation on July 15th. One thing is certain, we will all die, and how we die will become important to each of us. Please come and expand your knowledge on this issue. KATHRYN CLARY, RN, BSN, HPNC Friday Harbor

Safety concern on the ferries

We recently have had several experiences on the ferry that are not only violations of what should be basic safety regulations, but I am certain violate coast guard regulations as well. In their zeal to maximize loading, ferry workers are forcing cars and SUV’s so far toward the side of the ferry that it becomes impossible to open the car door enough to exit. SUV’s especially have this problem. In the event of an emergency, if a passenger was incapable of climbing over the console or back seat to exit, they would be trapped in the car. And trapping elderly or infirm people in their cars without the ability to use the facilities or in our recent heat is simply unconscionable. With some training, those guiding cars on to the ferry can make a simple judgment as to the type of vehicle and make sure it is located such that all doors can open. Perhaps it’s time the coast guard took a hard look at how our ferries are loaded. AL DAVIS Friday Harbor

Corrections:

In last week’s article “Fireworks suspected in Goose Island blaze” the island was incorrectly labelled as federally protected. It is a private nature preserve. In last week’s article “Domestic sex trafficking panel,” the survivor was incorrectly said to have been in the victim witness protection program. She was instead in the victim witness program.

Keep scoping process going for Cherry Point

One of the most exhaustive reviews of any project in this state, the environmental study of the Gateway shipping terminal in Whatcom County is unprecedented in its vast scope. The state of Washington has expanded the study far beyond its regular parameters. Now, over a year into this expensive review, the regulatory agency is being asked to stop it in its tracks. Due to objections from the Lummi Nation, the Army Corps of Engineers is deciding whether to cancel the study. What is the harm in completing this lawful process? Are the opponents fearful of what the science and facts will show about Gateway’s impact? And if this government agency is not willing to finish it, why on earth did they start it in the first place? Gateway has committed to complying with all required laws and regulations, and modified their proposal to further improve compliance. I believe the environment and responsible industry can co-exist with this terminal. The Cherry Point industries are among the most heavily regulated in the entire country. We can be sure that Gateway will be the same. I am well satisfied that the various impacts can be mitigated. But nothing will happen if the Army Corps decides to negate an orderly and lawful process that has worked well for countless years. No business will consider locating in Whatcom County — or Washington State — knowing that any single group opposed to industry wields a big “no” vote that carries more weight than any other. No business can operate with this kind of unpredictability.

I urge the Army Corps to keep this process moving forward in a timely fashion, and to let the facts speak for the project, not innuendos and anti-business foes. It’s the right thing to do. GORDON JONASSON Lopez Island

Here’s to 100 years for theater

Happy 100 to the Palace Theater! My mom, Jackie Douglas Hubbard, tells stories of when Florence Graversen Benson owned the theater in the 1930s. My mom and her grade school pals would pay 10 cents for a matinee ticket and then fight over who would sit in the middle seat in the front row. On another note, I love the drawing of the theater on a car-less Spring Street –now, that’s a pleasant scene! SHAUN HUBBARD Friday Harbor

Einstein’s Cat: the Coming of Housing crisis may force change Telegraphy on San Juan | Part II Editorial

ast year people in our community were desperate for housing. Now a full year has passed. Has anything changed? It depends on who you ask. For the islanders still in search of a roof over their heads, the answer is a strong no. Facebook pages have cropped up with numerous islanders sharing ideas about available rentals and ways to fight the housing crisis, but the page mainly functions as a way for people to vent about their frustration of not having a home. Other islanders have started building tiny homes, while others are considering roommates for the first time in years. The county council has also gotten involved in the housing issue by creating a database of all vacation lodging being advertised in the county to ensure that all units are registered under a state business license, have a county transient lodging permit and are paying the appropriate state and county sales and lodging taxes. The council is also examining how the proliferation of vacation rentals might be affecting the availability of long-term, affordable housing that supplies the county’s middle working class. Read more about this story on page 1. Other countries have replied more strenuously to their own lack of housing. Several years ago Switzerland banned the construction of holiday homes in towns where they already account for more than 20 percent of the housing stock. In 2013, China banned single-person households from buying more than one residence in the capital of Beijing. Here on American soil we, too, will have to look at ways to deal with those who are struggling to find just one home. According to a recent article in the “Atlantic,” rural communities – like our own – will struggle. According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, on average there are 14 homeless individuals per every 10,000 people in rural areas versus 29 homeless people per every 10,000 in urban areas. The alliance also notes there are some rural areas with very high rates of homelessness, and two of the highest rates in the country are in rural communities. We are a rural community wrestling with a high concentration of tourism and the need for vacation homes. How do we balance that with also providing affordable housing? The council’s decision to closely monitor those running vacation rentals may be the first step, but our community also has an opportunity to anticipate the future. American culture has always called for a certain presence of singularity, an independence that gives us strength, but perhaps that time is passing and what we can look forward to is more apartments, more community-oriented living situations and less space to roam. The islands present a unique location because we already are a tight-knit community. The question is: how can we use that in our favor when it comes to finding a place to live?

Special to the Journal

Learn more about when the telegraph arrived on San Juan Island and how it affected communications during the joint military occupation of the island in the second installment of “Einstein’s Cat,” a PowerPoint talk by Park Ranger Doug Halsey at 7 p.m., Wednesday July 15 in the San Juan Island Library. “It is said that no innovation affected the world more, after the printed word, than the telegraph,” Halsey said. “When President Lincoln, ironically a great supporter of the telegraph, was assassinated and then died early on the morning of April 15, 1865 in Washington D.C., news of the event reached San Francisco, Portland and Seattle within hours by telegraph.” Halsey’s program will feature a working telegraph equipment demonstration as well as a contemporary San Juan Island map overlaid with telegraph line routes. He will present images and tell attendees where to find island telegraph landmarks and will provide updated information on the current undersea cable installations. On the local scene, word of Kaiser Wilhelm I’s decision regarding the disposition of the San Juan Islands on October 24, 1872 arrived in Victoria a day after Wilhelm spoke the words in Berlin, Halsey said. Communication with the East Coast had gone from overland wagons to swift clipper ships, from overland stagecoach to steamship and rail passage via the Isthmus of Panama. The famous Pony Express briefly accelerated communication starting

in 1860, but was put out of business on Oct. 24, 1861, the day the first transcontinental telegraph was completed. The telegraph’s arrival on San Juan Island in late 1865 was part of a growing West Coast network, the generation of which was largely because of the efforts of one man, Perry Collins, a young government lawyer. “Who was Collins and how and why he caused that line to be built?” Halsey said. “Come to the program and find out.” The program is free.

The true history of Palace Theatre By Anna V. Smith Journal reporter

The Journal would like to make a correction to the July 1 story “Royal Treatment for Palace Theatre,” which detailed the history of the Palace Theatre since it was built in 1915. Town of Friday Harbor Preservation Coordinator Sandy Strehlou requested we look further into the building and ownership of the theater when it was first built, which we originally attributed to Peter Kirk. We got that information from documents written by Ray Kinnaman in 1975 nominating the Palace Theatre for the National Register of Historic Places. We wrote that Kirk built, owned and then bequeathed the theater, then called Fribor, to his granddaughter Vivian Middleton. We found that it was in fact Alfred Middleton who built and first owned the theater after Strehlou relayed an article about the opening of Fribor from the Journal written Sept. 30, 1915. The Journal then reached out to Sandy Middleton, Alfred Middleton’s granddaughter who now resides in Alaska, to better understand the

relationship between Peter Kirk and the Middletons. Sandy Middleton wrote: “Alfred married Peter’s granddaughter, Vivian Bell in September 1914. At that time, Alfred Middleton owned the Star Theater before meeting Vivian. It was a small theater, believed to be down closer to the water from the Fribor. Family legend says Alfred and Vivian met when Alfred needed a piano player to play for the silent movies he showed. I think they already knew each other - Friday Harbor was a small town and both families were very active in local events. A side note at this time, Vivian had placed an ad in the local paper to give piano lessons. After marrying in 1914, Alfred and Vivian started plans for the Fribor. It was completed in 1915, as you know. My Dad thinks they (his parents) lived upstairs for a while. He wouldn’t have remembered it since he was born in the 1930s but perhaps it’s a remnant memory of a family story he heard when he was a boy. Alfred and Vivian didn’t move to the Harrison Street house until after a couple years into their marriage.

I have not heard or seen any documentation that Peter Kirk owned the theater. However, a sizable loan to Alfred and Vivian (Bell) Middleton was listed in Peter Kirk’s inventory to his will when he died in May 1916. The loan was dated May 29, 1915. Peter’s inventory listed loans to most of his children. Vivian’s own mother had died in 1904 and Peter, his wife Mary Ann, and their children kept Vivian and her siblings very close even as much as raising them after Marie’s death.

I believe Vivian shared a close bond with Peter, particularly being the oldest grandchild. Alfred and Vivian Middleton ran the Fribor for many years. Alfred ran the projector while Vivian played the piano. Later, they went into the grocery business, at first with Vivian’s brother, Clarence Bell, and later on their own with Middleton’s Market.” Thanks to Kevin Loftus at San Juan Historical Museum, Sandy Strehlou and Sandy Middleton for assisting in this correction.

Edith Virginia Dickinson – 1927-2015

Edith Virginia Dickinson passed away on June 29, 2015 at Ashley Gardens of Mount Vernon. Edith was born on the farm in Welcome, Minnesota to Temple and Eloise Goetz on January 31, 1927. After finishing high school, she attended Hamline University where she earned her teaching degree. She began teaching English and

“The convenience of Peace Island is a gift.” A cancer diagnosis can feel daunting. That’s why Orcas Island resident Dianne Jordan focuses on the “therapy” in chemotherapy. With a close-tohome location for treatment, top notch staff—including regular visits from cancer specialists, and complimentary therapies like reﬂexology and reiki, PeaceHealth Peace Island Medical Center offers the quality, convenient care Dianne wants for her treatment.

Art classes in Idaho and then took a job as an administrative leader with the Girl Scouts of America, which brought her to Washington State. There, through mutual friends, she met John W. Dickinson and they began their relationship while skiing on Snoqualmie Pass after he helped her up from a fall. They lived on a house boat on Lake Union and always dreamed of living in the San Juan Islands. They were married on Orcas Island and moved to Friday Harbor in 1958 to their home on Argyle Avenue, where they raised their 3 daughters and Edith started her fabulous garden. Edith loved serving her community and soon became involved in Girl Scouts, Blue Birds, the PTA, served on the school board, she was elected to the Friday Harbor Town Council, wrote columns for the Island’s Sounder, belonged to the Historical Society and local gardening clubs and groups. She and John welcomed friends into their home for sing-a-longs, cider pressing parties, and gatherings. Edith was quick to share her garden vegetables, flowers and apples with anyone. People dropped by often looking for flowers they needed for weddings or special occasions, and it gave her such pride to provide whatever she could to help them out.

Edith would want to be remembered for her expert knowledge, wisdom, and advice in caring for all growing things, especially her roses. And, if you are ever in need of good gardening advice, it would give Edith a chuckle if you said to yourself “What would Edith do?” Edith was preceded in death by her father Temple Goetz, her mother, Eloise, her husband John Dickinson, and her sister Barbara Ekern. She is survived by her daughters Elizabeth Dickinson, Sally(Brett) Rogers Susan(Paul) Noste, and grandchildren Chelsea Rogers, Jesse Rogers, Emily (Kyle) Hart, and Molly Noste. A Celebration of Life service will be held on Saturday, August 29,2015 at the San Juan County fairgrounds in Friday Harbor from 1 to 3 p.m. Memorials may be made to: San Juan Historical Museum, Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor, or an Island charity of your choice. Arrangements are in the care of Evans Funeral Chapel and Crematory, Inc., Anacortes, WA and the San Juan Islands.

Songs from the south Upcoming screenings

at Community Theatre

‘Antony and Cleopatra’

Southern-raised sisters Leah Song and Chloe Smith, shown above, are redefining folk music with their soulful style, banjo and fiddle duets and poetic harmonies. The duo’s band, Rising Appalachia, shares those harmonies at San Juan Community Theatre on Tuesday, July 14 at 7:30 p.m. Having been raised in the American South with Appalachian lullabies at night and soul music for breakfast, the Louisiana-based sisters say they have drawn great inspiration from their global community. Their self-sculpted career has produced six independently-released full length albums, including the just released Wider Circles, inspired by folk standards and traditional hymns, old mountain odes, and activist anthems that pull equally from the swampy sounds of the bayou and the contemporary twang of the Appalachian Mountains. “The album is a deep reflection of the many influences and experiences we have intimately lived and have built our songs on,” explains Song. “Wider Circles is a subtle and powerful folk anthem.” Rising Appalachia’s Friday Harbor appearance is made possible by underwriters Larry Soll and Nancy Maron.The Business Partner for the evening is Wildwood Manor. Tickets are $18 for adults; $10 for student reserved, with $5 student RUSH at the door.

These are the type of conversation to be overheard at Lighthouse Preschoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renovated playground. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Innovative playgrounds are places where a child can be introduced to the materials of their local environment,â&#x20AC;? said Autumn Hallock, teacher and natural playground enthusiast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s through play that children process their lives. Having a rich play environment gives children the opportunity to explore and engage with the world around them.â&#x20AC;? In addition to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;boatâ&#x20AC;?

and â&#x20AC;&#x153;beach,â&#x20AC;? students enjoy turning their â&#x20AC;&#x153;barnâ&#x20AC;? into a place to tie up their horses, a small version of a Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market complete with baskets of vegetables and breads, a restaurant, and a take-out kitchen. There is a mountain path with a picnic table in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;woods,â&#x20AC;? waterplay on warm days, and a garden area for the children to plant flowers and vegetables. Local contractor and former Lighthouse parent, Mike McEwen headed up groups of volunteers for two summers to design and construct the playground. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth all the time

and effort when you see the kids having such a good time,â&#x20AC;? said McEwen. Also new to Lighthouse Preschool is Kim Nibler, Lighthouse Preschool Director. She officially began July 1. Nibler, has been serving as lead teacher in the toddler program at Lighthouse Preschool. She has completed her associate degree in Early Childhood Education, and has experience working for another local program as Lead Teacher/Program Director, worked with children in Japan and India, and has completed her certification for Rainbow Kids Yoga.

Stories that beach trash tells Dr. Candace Gossen is part of the free Summer Lecture Series to discuss â&#x20AC;&#x153;ProjectSAMâ&#x20AC;? on Wednesday, July 8 at 6:30 p.m. at the Whale Museum. Candace Gossen, PhD, is an environmental archaeologist, architect, and plant medicine teacher. ProjectSAM is the Garbage Archaeology project completed by a group of 19 students studying archaeology this past spring at the Skagit Valley College San Juan Center. The idea grew out of Dr. Gossen finding a

frisbee golf disc which became part of the beach trash she continued to pick up every day for five months at Deadmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay. In total, twelve cubic feet of â&#x20AC;&#x153;stuff â&#x20AC;? from the beach and thousands of pieces of trash were collected. The questions the students aimed to answer as part of ProjectSAM included: how the waste got there whether by air, water, or left behind by humans visiting the beach. The results will be shared during this presentation. For info, call 378-4710 ext. 30.

New signs at Mitchell Hill By Anna V. Smith Journal reporter

The multi-use hiking trails on Mitchell Hill got a major improvement last Wednesday, July 1, with the installation of 20 trail marker signs. The 312 acre trail system, acquired by the National Park Service in 2010, services hikers, bikers, and horse riders and now has a total of 24 trail signs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have really enthusiastic users of this place,â&#x20AC;? said San Juan Island National Historical Park Superintendent Lee Taylor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a unique thing in the Parks Service to get people to work together for multi-use trails.â&#x20AC;? The Mitchell Hill trails were known for being difficult to navigate, with locals and visitors alike getting lost. The new signs designate two different loops, one longer and steeper than the other shorter and easier loop, and every sign points which way back to the Horse Trail Road parking lot. Taylor says the signs are a collaborative effort between trail users and

The National Park Service worked with National Parks Conservation Association who funded the signs, which were installed by SJI Youth Conservation Corps and San Juan Island Trails Committee. NPS also works with San Juan Island Conservation Corps to clear hiking trails on Mitchell Hill. According to Taylor, Mitchell Hill is generally uncrowded, which she believes will change with the installation of the trail signs and trailhead kiosk to
