Distler named new undersheriff Orcas Deputy Bruce Distler is now second in command by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher

Sheriff Rob Nou rattled off a long list of attributes when describing why Deputy Bruce Distler was promoted to undersheriff: education, experience, personality, temperament, philosophy. “It’s exciting and I am glad that process is finally done,” Nou said. “He was the best one for the job … he and I work really well together.” Nou pored over 25 applications from five states during the past five months. Undersheriff Jon Zerby retired in July after 14 years on the job, but stayed on parttime through the late fall. “It’s been a bit of a strain,” Nou said. “But it was really important for me to feel confident I was getting this one right.” Nou says it’s an “interesting” position to fill because most people who have the skill set for the job are already in an advanced position.

But Distler, who has a master’s degree in management and criminal justice from Colorado Technical University, was looking to give more to the department and stepped up to the plate. “I thought I had a bit more to offer,” he said. Distler is a nearly 20-year law enforcement officer, serving San Juan County since 2006. Prior to beginning his police career, he served 22 years with the U.S. Air Force, retiring as a master sergeant in Aeromedical Evacuation. In his law enforcement career, Distler has worked assignments in both small towns and rural settings. He has served as a field training officer, school resource officer and marine law enforcement officer. He is a drug recognition expert, specially trained to determine if people are under the influence of drugs other than alcohol. Distler and his wife Bonni will continue to live on Orcas. He will

commute to Friday Harbor, but hopes to spend some office time on his home island as well. “I am an Orcas guy and I want to keep my ties there,” he said. “I have too many friends and ties to the community. Just because I moved up in the organization, doesn’t mean I am not available to the residents of the island.” Nou is pleased with Distler’s multi-island connection, and says, “it’s important to both the organization and the community to keep those lines of communication open.” Distler is considered the second in command of the Sheriff ’s Office. He will supervise sergeants, detectives, corrections officers and the traffic officer. The position of sergeant on Orcas and Lopez will be announced in mid-January. The job has been vacant since Steve Vierthaler retired last February. “I want this to be the best possible office and give the best pos-

Orcas woman charged in connection with jewelry store break-in by SCOTT RASMUSSEN Journal reporter

An Orcas Island woman accused of peddling stolen goods at a pawn shop in Federal Way faces felony charges in connection with the holiday time heist at an Eastsound jewelry store. Roughly $12,500 in hand-crafted jewelry and merchandise vanished from Shinola Jewelry sometime in the early morning hours of Dec. 23. Someone threw a large rock through the front window of the North Beach Road store, then ransacked the shop and made off with a bounty of stolen merchandise, according to authorities. On Jan. 9, prosecutors filed charges in San Juan County Superior Court accusing Cassia

Mara Hernshenow of one count of first-degree trafficking in stolen property, a Class B felony, which carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both. The 23-year-old, an Orcas Island resident for about a year-and-a-half, according to court documents, is slated to be arraigned in superior court Jan. 18. She was released under court orders and without bail pending arraignment. The burglary at Shinola is one of six breakins or thefts under investigation by the Sheriff ’s Department that occurred in the Eastsound area over a six-week period. Hernshenow was taken into custody Jan. 7 after being questioned by a detective at the sheriff ’s office in Eastsound. According to the arresting officer’s affidavit, she was identified as the individual who, on

Dec. 24, the day after the break-in, traded assorted pieces of jewelry valued at nearly $9,000 in exchange for $850 in cash at a pawn shop in Federal Way. Several of the pieces purchased by the pawn shop match those that were among the inventory missing from Shinola, according to the affidavit. When questioned about the case, Hernshenow reportedly told the detective that she and a boyfriend acquired the jewelry from a stranger while traveling onboard a ferry bound for Anacortes that same day. According to the affidavit, the two agreed to trade a bag of marijuana they were carrying for the collection of jewelry offered up by the stranger in exchange.

Library holiday tea was a success The following was submitted by Jean Soderquist the Friends of Orcas Island Library. Thank you to the volunteers who helped at the annual holiday tea at Orcas Library. Pouring were Anna Hay, Lois Cornell, Margaret Payne, Grace Muse, Donna Gerardi Riordan, Pierrette Guimond, Lois Baney, Val West, Tom Fiscus, and Kate Lichter. Approximately 800-plus members of the public joined us for this 51st year. Ten members of the Key Club from the high school were more than helpful and cheerful! Holly King (cello), library staff and her group “Tres Voci” along with Teresa Chocano (viola) and Pamela Wright (violin) were delightfully entertaining their first time at the tea. The Waldorf School had four to five young ladies singing a couple of carols. Thank you, Kathy Morris. The “2-Room School” group of young folks from Shaw, schooled also by Gordon and Anita of the Olga Symphony were great. The middle and high school string ably led by Pam Wright performed. Trudy Erwin played her autoharp with traditional songs for all to sing.

What do you think of the library?

‘Eventide Arbor Care’ opens on Orcas Austen Ater has opened Eventide Arbor Care on Orcas Island. “My desire is to provide a thoughtful, skilled approach to tree service, whether I am pruning a madrone, performing a technical removal over someone’s home, or grinding a stump that is next to utilities,” he said.

Ater was an apprentice in Moscow, Idaho and then moved to Spokane, where he began his studies to become a certified arborist, while working for a large tree company. Three years ago, Ater and his wife Joelle moved to Orcas. They have two young children.

“I am grateful to be able to turn my love of climbing into a lifestyle of learning and finding safer and more efficient methods and techniques to become the best arborist I can be,” he said. This past summer, Ater participated in an Electrical Hazards Awareness Program put on by the Tree Care Industry Association. He also helped organize the the first aerial rescue practice for Orcas Island tree climbers. “I have plans to hold an

they will attend; as will Marc Florenza, Bob Jarman and Lovel Pratt, candidates from San Juan Island. All candidates will have a three-minute introductory statement and then the floor is opened for questions from the audience. After a question is presented, all candidates will have one minute to respond. There will also be a forum on Lopez Island on Thursday, Jan. 17 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Grace Episcopal Church.

Orcas man crashes on Crescent Beach Road

An Orcas Island man was found dead after his car went off the road. On Thursday, Jan. 10 at about 8:40 p.m. a single vehicle traffic crash was reported along Crescent Beach Road on Orcas. Emergency responders found the operator of the vehicle, James E. Ekberg, 71, dead at the scene. Ekberg, a resident of Eastsound, was driving east on Crescent Beach Road when the vehicle left the roadway. Initial investigation by the San Juan County Sheriff ’s Department indicates that he suffered a fatal medical event while driving, and the vehicle subsequently left the roadway, and rolled to a stop in the ditch. There was no evidence of any traumatic injury from the crash, according to the Sheriff ’s Department. The incident remains under investigation. Ekberg was alone in the vehicle, and no other vehicles were involved.

SHERIFF’S LOG

San Juan County Sheriff’s Department reported responding to these calls:

Dec. 19: A family dispute led to the arrest of a Lopez Island woman accused of using her fist to shatter the window on the back door of her brother’s home in order to get inside. The 27-year-old, who reportedly broke the window because her brother refused to let her in, faces charges of trespassing and misdemeanor vandalism. Dec. 23: A total of $12,520 in merchandise and hand-crafted jewelry disappeared in an apparent pre-dawn break-in and theft at an Orcas Island jewelry shop. Someone reportedly shattered the front window of the North Beach Road shop with a very large rock, grabbed an assortment of jewelry and merchandise and then fled the scene. Read more about this on page one. Dec. 27: A multitude of deep tire tracks were carved into the Friday Harbor fairgrounds n an apparent episode of late-night vandalism. Authorities believe the culprit, who also crashed into an electrical panel, was driving a rear-wheel-driven vehicle with lower than average ground clearance. Dec. 29: A single-car collision near the intersection of Orcas and Swan Roads led to the arrest of an Orcas Island man for DUI. The 54-year-old, who was taken into custody at about 8:30 p.m., reportedly escaped the crash without suffering significant injury. Dec. 30: Computer equipment, three penlights and $50 in coins disappeared in an apparent early morning theft at an inn at the north end of Eastsound, the latest in a string of break-ins and thefts in the commercial core of Orcas Island. The owner of the inn reportedly notified authorities of the theft, totaling $300 in missing items, shortly after 4 a.m. Dec. 31: Failure to obey a stop sign prompted the arrest of a San Juan Island man following a late-night traffic stop in the wee hours of New Year Eve. The 42-year-old, who was pulled over near the intersection of Argyle Avenue and Nichols Street shortly before 2 a.m., was also ticketed for driving with a broken taillight. • A credit card belonging to an Orcas Island woman was used to make three separate purchases online totaling $1,062 in an apparent case of fraud. The charges, reportedly made without the 71-year-old’s knowledge or permission, were reversed by

the bank that issued the card. Jan. 1: Allegations of assault led to the arrest of an Orcas Island man accused of attacking a 19-year-old woman at a New Year’s Eve celebration at Odd Fellows Hall. The 20-year-old, also charged with an alcohol-related offense, was taken into custody in the 200 block of Main Street shortly before 1 a.m. The alleged victim was also arrested for being a minor in possession of alcohol. Jan. 2: An Anacortes couple claims that they were harassed, threatened and stalked by the driver of a mid-80s Mustang during an excursion at the National Park at the south end of San Juan Island. The driver of the Mustang, described as a white male, 20 to 30 years of age, with a dark mustache and wearing knitted cap, reportedly blocked the couple’s car in parking lot at South Beach for several minutes, sped off, and later pursued the couple as they drove out of the park, tailgating them aggressively for several miles along the way. The Mustang also reportedly later reappeared outside the trailer where the couple was staying, where it idled for awhile before it then sped away. A Lopez Island woman vowed to remove the assortment of garbage and debris that she reportedly dumped on the property of a next door neighbor without permission. The 71-year-old also reportedly apologized for the trespass and the transgression. • Failure to both obey a stop sign and use a turn signal prompted a criminal citation for a San Juan Island woman for driving with a suspended license following a late-night traffic stop in Friday Harbor. The 35-year-old was pulled over near the intersection of Second and Court Streets at about 11:30 p.m. Jan. 4: An Orcas Island woman claims someone stole her supply of prescription painkillers while she was onboard a midafternoon ferry out of Anacortes and bound for home. The missing medication includes 100 tablets of Oxycodone. Jan. 6: A ornamental ship’s clock made of mahogany and brass vanished from a Friday Harbor home in an apparent case of theft. The clock, valued at $2,325, was displayed on a shelf in the living room of a 82-yearold man’s Franck Street home at the time it disappeared.

As islanders we are surrounded by water. We are also surrounded by the fruits of modern technology – ambulances, ferries, helicopters and boats, just to name a few. For island residents, these are not only methods of transportation, but means to saving lives, which is why the San Juan Sheriff ’s Department is in the process of purchasing a public safety vessel and working with EMS and fire departments throughout the county to craft an agreement on the joint operation of the boat. “To frame it for you,” said Sheriff Rob Nou at a recent town hall meeting on Orcas. “The boat we own now [The Guardian] is 25 years old, it’s life as an emergency response vessel is coming to an end of its functional life. In short story – it is sinking.” A town hall meeting was held on Jan. 9 in the Eastsound Fire Hall to help Orcas Island Fire and Rescue evaluate and address their participation with the new vessel and hear public comment. “We can’t survive here alone. We need to help each other from time to time,” said Fire Chief Kevin O’Brien at the meeting. Nou said that when it comes to the new boat, his view is to address the safety needs of the entire county. When the new boat is purchased it will dock at Friday Harbor and the Guardian will be based in Orcas, as a secondary vessel. Since 2010, OIFR has used The Guardian 14 times to transport patients to hospitals off island when the weather prohibits aeromedical transport – an average of 4.6 transports per year. Assistant Fire Chief Mik Preysz said when looking at these numbers people should be aware that in several cases the boat was needed for transport, but was unavailable because it required maintenance or was out of service – in September, the Guardian ran aground on a submerged reef near Sinclair Island in Whatcom County, while transporting patients. In 2012, O’Brien said two lives were saved by marine rescue – a missing person

The Guardian has also been used for transporting OIFR emergency personnel to other islands and surrounding waters for emergency assistance. The new boat is on its way to becoming a reality since the Sheriff ’s Office secured a Federal Port Security Grant of up to $785,000. Nou compared the boat to fire stations, even if they are not used frequently, you are glad it’s there when you need it. “We don’t want to be in competition with helicopter transfer,” he added. “The safety boat is an option of last resort.” OIFR has two potential ways to be involved, either as a financial partner responsible for an estimated $24,430 per year or as a “pay-peruse” member, which would be about $6,500 per transport. The San Juan County Marine Operations User’s Group, created by the sheriff and surrounding emergency service providers, will look at how to finance, manage and operate the sheriff ’s boat program and administer the grant.

About 20 community members attended the meeting and vocalized varied responses to OIFR’s involvement in the new boat. Ne w C o u nt y Councilmember Rick Hughes mentioned that Spring Point, Deer Harbor and Olga are three areas that would benefit from having access to a safety vessel if there is a disaster and rapid evacuation is needed. Two community members voiced their support in OIFR becoming a partner rather than a “pay-per-use” member. Another attendee wondered if the boat should run like Airlift Northwest, where people have to buy into a membership program. One man said he was concerned that if the boat is used for medical, fire and police work it will not be efficient. He said that if they decide the boat is for medical transfers it needs to be fast, a fire boat loaded with equipment would be too slow. When asked to what extent the fire district should fund or pay for the boat, a community member said, “We shouldn’t fund it at all.”

Editorial

What we can learn from Galileo History. It’s the map that those of us – still filled with optimism – use as a guide, a resource, a reference to navigate through the present and the future. These stories of the past, of great minds who imagined, invented and often suffered for progress, propelled humanity to a greater understanding of our place, not only on this tiny blue dot, but in the universe. It was these great minds who looked into the night sky and had to know more about the vastness, the darkness and all those tantalizing sparking lights. Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer and philosopher Galileo Galilei played a major role in what we now consider modern science. He invented the telescope, which led to the discovery of the four satellites of Jupiter, observation of a supernova, the phases of Venus and discovery of sunspots. His discoveries proved that the earth and other planets revolve around the sun. Galileo was found guilty of heresy for that profound information. But that was more than 400 years ago. What can we take from his life? Advancement of science? An understanding of physics? Can we understand what it cost Galileo to pursue such inquiries? Do we even care? Can we bring not only his discoveries, but his triumph, his complexities and pain to life in way that not only teaches us, but makes us feel a connection to a man long since deceased? It just may be possible in the Orcas Center’s upcoming play “The Life of Galileo,” which follows his rise to greatness and how the church eventually condemned his teachings. Theater has the ability to transform stories, to bring ghosts to life. It allows us to engage with information in a way that may help us learn something from the past. So often in our society we fail to bridge knowledge and entertainment. How easily we resort to watching reality TV or news feeds with little imagination. What a world we could live in if we could spark inspiration in others through a medium that tugs at our heart strings and gives us insight – a better understanding of science and if we are lucky, humanity.

To the Editor: An island thank you The 4-H Orcas Island Trailblazers and Girl Scout Troop #172 would like to thank the community members that helped support their service project this year of providing 87 Christmas stockings for island families that receive food bank donations. This was our 10th year organizing and giving stockings for this cause. We would especially like to thank: Mary Minnis, Girl Scouts of Western Washington, Orcas Lions Club, Orcas Island Kiwanis, Dr. Brenda Ivans, Dr. Steven Bailey and Camp Orkila. Once again our island pulled together to provide something special for our island families. Orcas Island Trailblazers and Girl Scout Troop #172

Thanks for Sam Carter celebration of life Thank you all for your generosity and sacrifices for my brother, Sam Carters’, Celebration Of Life on Dec. 23. Thank you so much ... the food the music the island hugs. Words can never express our gratitude to all who helped put it together. Thank you to the Grange for the use of that space. And Thank you to all who gave of your own money to help us to be there with you to celebrate Sammy! Some of you were especially involved with the planning and clean up of the Celebration and did things we could never have done on our own. Thank you so much! We love you all. Again, we love you all!

Council. His integrity – he did not seek an endorsement from the Democratic (or any other) Party. He chose to honor the spirit of non-partisan elections, rather than the letter of the law. His ability to problem solve and his care for the environment – when the septic systems of OPAL houses on Orcas threatened the groundwater, he met with the reluctant land trust group (headed by Lisa Byers) to listen to their concerns and to create a solution to their pollution. Ultimately, Greg Ayers found a way to reduce costs enough to enable them to hook on to the sewer district. His leadership helped resolved a known environmental problem on Orcas. Greg Ayers can lead us beyond partisanship, and has the skills and heart to help us create a positive future together. Please join me in voting for Greg Ayers. Daniela Mayer Lopez Island

Byers for council My father once told me that in management there is no such thing as an irreplaceable person. For the past 17 years Lisa Byers has been putting that assertion to the test. From a novice nonprofit, she has built OPAL into a nationally preeminent provider of permanent affordable housing. Her vision, passion, and competence have made her the face of OPAL – sort of a Steve Jobs, without the tantrums. So, if Lisa is critical to OPAL why am I so supportive of her candidacy for county council? Two reasons: First, the county needs her. This is not a good time for politicians and

for political institutions. Lisa has the skills and temperament to make a difference. She combines three traits that make her unique in my experience. She has vision, she sees a better future for the San Juans and has the passion to get there. She is also pragmatic, willing to work and compromise on day-to-day issues. This ability to put her head in the heavens while keeping her feet firmly on the ground is amplified by her unique skill at building and motivating teams. She is the best “ego wrangler” I have ever seen. My second reason for supporting Lisa is more personal. Exceptional people like Lisa need new challenges. Lisa is and has been OPAL’s friend. Now she is our gift to the wider community.

Too many distractions, too little time, the issues are too complex, you hadn’t really thought it all through ... there are all sorts of reasons why you can’t quite clarify and articulate your own thoughts. We have noticed how much rarer this experience is when we’re engaged in a discussion with Lisa Byers, who has been a good friend for the past several years.

LETTERS FROM 4 to point out an extension of that – without being manipulative or presumptive, she helps others clarify and articulate their thoughts. How does she do this? For one thing, Lisa really listens to what you’re saying, without prematurely jumping to conclusions or judgements. If she doesn’t understand, she asks questions that often help you not only better express yourself, but figure out what it was you were trying to say in the first place. Also, she is really good at keeping a discussion on point and reining in unproductive digression. She somehow is able to do this in a way that is direct yet tactful and respectful. She knows how to define areas of disagreement in ways that can open a path to compromise and consensus. Following a discussion with Lisa you are likely to be better informed. You are likely to have a more focused grasp of the central issues. And you may well feel that you have stepped back a few paces from your own opinion to regard things from a more generous and openminded perspective. Having Lisa Byers serve on the council will be a good thing for San Juan County. Phoebe and Nick Hershenow Orcas Island

McClerren: why I am running for council The Charter Review Commission stated that part of their vision was to draw involvement from working folks and younger families. This was in contrast to the notion that leaders should have political experience, advanced degrees and institutional involvement. Our misguided love of “experts” has produced a steady stream of affluent, retired, partisan and self-interested officials. The San Juan County Council is not meant to be run by experts, lawyers, developers, and special interest groups. The council should be staffed by individuals who represent the demographic, are easily accessible by the public, and have no conflicting private interests. A fair and nonpartisan government must be led by representatives, not activists. I do not have personal funds or wealthy friends to finance a political campaign. But I do have

a wealth of friends and a fund of concern which has been deposited with me by residents on Lopez, Orcas, Shaw, San Juan, Decatur, Center, Brown and Stewart Islands. I do not have a banner of credentials and community service. I have honesty, sincerity, determination and compassion. I want badly to have the freedom to establish those credentials in service to my community. I do not have connections and privileged alliances to call upon. But I am part of a community, which is thrilled to have a person which they can call upon to represent their concerns in the government. Because I have no alliances, I have no enemies. I have been warmly welcomed by individuals on opposite sides of heated disputes. My self-interests are simple and transparent. I want to become a landowner and build a home for my family which will not be taken away when a landlord decides that it’s “time to sell” or the government decides that it is non-conforming. I want to raise my children in a small town with a rich education. I want them to have job opportunities here on the islands and to grow up knowing that their parent’s generation planned well to protect and nurture a vibrant future in the San Juan Islands. Brian McClerren Lopez Island (Editor’s note: McClerren is running for the SJC Council District #3)

Hughes for council I am again today writing for my support of Rick Hughes to be re-elected to county council. In November he won the position by gaining over 68 percent of the vote. Orcas Island has shown that we support him, but now it is time for the rest of the county to vote. If you do not know Rick, please take the time to hear him speak at one of the many forums between now and the election. Rick is a moderate candidate with no particular alignment to any party or organization. Rick’s allegiance is with the people of San Juan County. He knows what it takes to make a living and raise a family in the Islands. Rick is involved. He has served on the Eastsound Planning Review Committee, and continues to serve on the board of the Orcas Farmers Market Association in his seventh year. Rick spearheaded a

county-wide drug take back program, one of the best in the State. He is the copresident of the PTSA on Orcas, and I enjoy seeing him managing roller skating every Friday night. Rick Hughes is fiscally experienced. He has already displayed his team building and leadership qualities in his new job as county councilman. He is the best candidate for the job. I support Rick Hughes for county council. Please consider voting for him. Greg White Orcas Island

Pratt for council We are writing to endorse Lovel Pratt for county council. While we were serving on the Land Bank Commission (Nancy) and as Mayor of Friday Harbor (David) we worked with Lovel to make the Brickworks project a reality. Together we drafted and redrafted thoughts on the scope of the project and worked with county and town elected officials to obtain funding for the project. We found Lovel’s participation in this effort to always be diligent, thoughtful and thorough. She was open to ideas and a teamplayer all the way. Lovel expended a great deal of “political capital” on this project and while we were not successful in convincing county and town to financially endorse Brickworks, time has proven that the vision created has “legs” of its own. Lovel understood and had the courage to fight for this vision of community, agriculture and economic development. As residents of the town, we are pleased to have the opportunity to vote for Lovel Pratt. Nancy and David Jones Friday Harbor I am writing to endorse the candidacy of Lovel Pratt for county council. I have know Lovel for many years, including her time helping with the creation of the USDA mobile meat

processing unit on Lopez, as Executive Director of the San Juan Community Home Trust, as a Planning Commissioner, and finally as a council member. What has impressed me about Lovel is her ability to see the big picture. Although she was a council member from San Juan Island, we would often see her on Lopez for our significant events, including the GMO-Free Initiative, and her support for local control of our dump. She is one of two council members who has made it a point to create a presence in Olympia for all of San Juan County. As a former San Juan County Commissioner, I have been aware that Lovel is a strong supporter of local agriculture. Lovel is humble and yet not afraid to dig into issues. I encourage you to vote for Lovel in the upcoming county-wide primary for District 1 Council Member. Rhea Miller Lopez Island

LWVSJ concerned about coal The League of Women Voters of the San Juans would like to publicly endorse the letter of Nov. 27, 2012 written by the San Juan County Council to the lead agencies for the Gateway Pacific Terminal Environmental Impact Statement. We thank the SJCC for addressing concerns that may impact San Juan County. The 2013 Legislative Priorities of the Washington State League of Women Voters urges our legislators to “consider environmental quality and public health impacts when making decisions about transportation and exports.” If the proposed coal terminal is approved, the increased vessel traffic through the waterways of the San Juan Archipelago has the potential to impact the environment and human health. It will take the efforts of all of us to be sure that the involved agencies are addressing all of our concerns. We encourage our citizens to write to the lead

Response to Evans’ letter In response to John Evans’ letter to the editor (published Jan. 9, 2013) I want to first say that I am proud of my contributions and accomplishments on the council, as a volunteer, and in my previous jobs. I am also pleased with the grants that San Juan County has been fortunate to receive, and the many local jobs that resulted from those grant funds. These grant funds have not made SJC beholden to anything other than the deliverables which are clearly stated in the grants’ contracts. Regarding campaign endorsements, I am reminded of the disingenuous objections to endorsements during the 2012 election. The SJC Democrats were forthright in stating their endorsements. Officers of the SJC Republican Party spoke in opposition to endorsements, yet only my opponent was included on the SJC Republican Party’s website and only my opponent was invited to speak at the GOP event that featured several regional and

statewide Republican candidates. The Journal of the San Juan Islands’ editorial on Dec. 5, 2012 gives an excellent response to Mr. Evans: “The charter doesn’t say candidates cannot be a member of, or be supported by, a political party. Nor does it specify that members of a political party, or the political party itself, cannot endorse, contribute to, or work for a given candidate.” To do so would surely be a violation of constitutional guaranties of free association and free speech ... We recognize that political parties and ‘special interests’ can be a source of dysfunction and frustration, both locally and nationally. But we’d much rather they come right out in public with their endorsements and contributions and positions on issues. Then you can make up your mind with maximum information.” The charter, and also the voters’ intent, does not violate our constitutional guaranties of free association and free speech by restricting endorsements. What is important is open and transparent government and that begins with the campaign. I will continue to receive and seek endorsements from individuals and groups throughout this campaign and I will ensure that those endorsements are open and transparent.

Council looks at marine issues Sounder delivery time changes by Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

The executive committee of the Marine Resources Committee has been asked to meet with three members of the county council to discuss a division of responsibilities and the authority of the council to set policy, according to Council Vicechairman Rich Peterson. Two issues – “No-Go Zones” for orca protection and the work closure period to protect juvenile salmon in the county – have raised concern on the council that the MRC’s “valuable role in protecting and enhancing the marine environment doesn’t conflict with the council’s policy setting role,” said Councilman Marc Forlenza, Friday Harbor. At the Dec. 5 MRC meeting in Friday Harbor, Peterson came with a resolution stating, “The county’s position regarding the ‘No-Go Zone’ as proposed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration will be that position articulated by the council and not that of any of its subcommittees or advisory groups.” The National Marine Fisheries Service sent Lynne Barre, of its Protected Resources Division, to the meeting to propose an outreach program to reconsider its 2009 proposal to ban all boats from a half-milewide strip of water along the west side of San Juan, where orcas cruise during the summer. Several people attending the meeting spoke up against any reconsideration of the no-go zone. The MRC also approved a letter to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife on the “work window closure period” under the department’s Hydraulic Code Rules. In 2005, as part of the Puget Sound Salmon Recovery Plan, the DFW designated the period between March 15 and June 14 as the time that near-shore construction throughout Puget Sound would be restricted

or closed. The MRC letter proposed “WDFW and the San Juan MRC work together again to revise the work window closure period ... to better reflect the time that juvenile salmon are actually in our waters. Recent local research documents that juvenile salmon are present in our area at least from March 15 through Oct. 31.” The letter concluded that the DFW’s Habitat Program Protection Division would contact the MRC for a meeting in February to discuss the work closure window.” Peterson termed the letter “problematic.” “After extensive testimony and deliberation, the county council decided not to extend the ‘critical areas’ designation to all San Juan County shorelines,” Peterson said. “This letter suggests that substantial ‘critical areas’ protections should be imposed on much of the shorelines in the county. The policy underlying that kind of action should be proposed by the council responding to the advice of the MRC, not by the MRC itself.” Peterson noted that the “local research” included studies performed by E.M.Beamer and K.L. Fresh, some of which had been considered by the council, but not included as “best available science, during the Critical Areas Ordinance process. Peterson said he wants more information on the studies and on potential damage that construction during summer work times would cause on salmon. Peterson said he expects that he, Forlenza and council member Patty Miller will meet with the MRC executive committee within a few days, and said the subject of advisory committees, including the MRC, would be topics for the annual council retreat on Monday, Jan. 14.

grown to be one of the county’s premier camping destinations as well as a popular day use recreation area for local residents. Renovations will preserve the familiar “rustic” feel of the park. Members of the County Park Board recognized the need for renovation and upgrades as early as 1976. The renovations became possible after the project

won a major grant from the Washington Wildlife Recreation Program in 2009 and received additional funding from the Public Facilities Financing Assistance program and other sources. The total cost is expected to be approximately $950,000. While construction is underway this summer in the lower park areas, the park will remain open, though there may be some sporadic service disruptions.

It culminated in a loss for the boys and a howling last minute win for the girls that left the Friday Harbor crowd quiet and stunned. The Viking boys (4-4) opened the evening in what Coach Rich Madden

expected to be a tough game in a Northwest 1A/2B league conference game. Madden said Friday Harbor (9-6) was the better team, especially since they are a larger 1A school with more games under their belt, but saw potential with the Vikings against the larger and better teams in their league. “As a team we were too timid and let them box us out underneath most the game which we need to improve, but in the fourth quarter we started to get some rebounds and got some shots underneath,” Madden said. The Wolverines jumped ahead quickly with sharp perimeter shooting and swift passes into the paint for high percentage scoring. Defensively, Friday Harbor controlled the boards and stonewalled Viking passing to the key. Without consistent outside shooting, Orcas fell behind 42-21 at half. Foul trouble hindered the Vikings in the third quarter with Rylan Date fouling out while the Wolverines sharpened their bite, outscoring Orcas 27-13 as the Vikings struggled with turnovers

and scoring. The Vikings never gave up, out-scored the Wolverines 15 to 9 in the fourth quarter. It wasn’t enough as the Vikings lost 78-49, but the Vikings finished the game with a strong quarter. Orcas scoring was led by Jack Gates with 22, Jake Zier 15, Jack Russillo 5, Wayne Foster 4, Rylan Date 2 and Devon Stanzione 1. However the game of the night was the Viking girls (4-3) against the lady Wolverines (3-9). The Vikings started confident, leading 17 to 13 with a minute left in the half but a 10-0 Wolverine run in the third quarter had the Vikings down 29-25 with a minute left in the quarter. It looked like this game might slip away from the lady Vikings as the Friday Harbor crowd began to make noise. With only three minutes left in the game, the Vikings trailed 31-27, but sticky Orcas defense and a key basket gave the Vikings the lead 32-31 with 1:20 in the game. Forcing a turnover, the Vikings gained possession and the Wolverines fouled Bella Nigretto, who drained both pressure-filled foul shots. As the boisterous Orcas crowd bellowed “Viking Power” throughout the gym, Coach Gregg Sasan called a timeout with 10 seconds left and told the girls to “stay calm and handle the pressure.” After the Vikings forced yet another turnover with 3 seconds left, Friday Harbor fouled Alicia Susol who took Sasan’s advice to the hoop, sinking both free throws, ending the game 35-31. Coach Sasan said after the third quarter, “We got back in the game, we handled their pressure and made our free throws at the end of the game. They did a great job.” Viking scoring was lead by Bella Nigretto with 16 points, Alicia Susol 8, Hanna Brunner-Gaydos 5, Lana Bronn 4 and Shelbi Rogers 2. Rebounds were led by Brunner-Gaydos with 11, Susol 9, Nigretto and Rogers 6 each and Garcia 5. Vikings play at Shoreline Christian and Mt. Vernon Christian this week.

The Life of Galileo

A story of science, oppression and passion by CALI BAGBY

Staff reporter

cience, passion, truth, suppression, romance and even a little intrigue are all wrapped into one story about Galileo, his discoveries and his humanity. “It’s a challenge to play such a big figure,” said Tom Fiscus, who has taken on the role of Galileo. “But the play writer allows the audience to see a real human being with lots of flaws. One over-reaching principle is that he always had to be right.” “The Life of Galileo” by Bertolt Brecht and David Hare will be performed on the OffCenter Stage, Thursday through Saturday, Jan. 24 to Jan. 26, and Jan. 31 to Feb. 2 at 7:30 p.m. The show is $15, $11 for students, and $2 off for Orcas Center members. The play, directed by Robert Hall, shows how Galileo was initially celebrated as a great man of the Renaissance – until the Church condemned his teachings, fearing that he would begin to question the order of the social system, too. It also questions the scientist’s responsibilities in the face of an oppressive government. “I’ve never done a play that has evolved or morphed so much … and changed from what I thought it would be to what it is,” said Hall.

LOVE The Sounder’s annual Valentine’s Day special is coming out on Feb. 6. To advertise or publish a love note to your sweetie, call 376-4500 or email carmstrong@ islandssounder.com.

When he initially read the play, he thought it was rather dry, but as the words were spoken and the characters developed on stage the story was brought to life. For Fiscus, he was not only drawn to Galileo’s personal struggles, but the hard science interwoven into the script. Like Galileo, he has always been fascinated by stars and space – when he was younger he wanted to be an astronomer. “What also intrigued me about the play is that so much of what we know now, we take for granted,” said Fiscus. The play also delves into the Church’s suppression of science in the 1600s propelling the cast to compare then with now, to look at those universal ills of power, domination and greed. “There is always suppression,” said Frank Michels, who plays four roles. “Someone always has to have control.” Galileo does not come out as the hero, but you’ll have to see the play to understand why. “With Brecht there are no heroes,” said Freddy Hinkle, who has three roles. “Galileo is the anti-hero. There isn’t really any to-da’s, he made it!”

The stage “Galileo” will be acted on a circular stage with the audience sitting on

all sides of the stage. Working in “the round” brings intimacy to the play, said Fiscus. It’s also adds an extra challenge for the cast. “Acting in the round is even more complicated than playing more than one character,” said Hinkle. “I’d be better off as a holographic image,” added Michels. “I like to imagine that I am a photographic image.” There will also be two projectors, mobiles and modern music to spark the imagination.

Moving through tragedy The cast of “Galileo” started rehearsals during the fall and in late November was met with tragic news. Maria Massey, who was cast as three characters and also worked as the stage manager, died after she had been missing for two days. Hall

and the cast were left shocked and saddened. They struggled with the decision to continue with the play. “The whole play changed when Maria died,” said Hall. “She really touched a lot of people.” After contemplation the decided to continue with the show and dedicated “Galileo” to her. There will be a special showing of the play that will take place on closing night. Hall requests that if anyone wants to contribute to that celebration to contact him through the center. For Fiscus, he felt like he had to continue the play living up to Maria and her passion for theater and for life. “We are missing her terribly,” said Hinkle. “I was really looking forward to being on the stage with Maria.” Michels said Maria and Galileo had much in common because she was a person who could see “beyond and far ahead and lead with her spirit.”
