Dahl survives Boston bombs

County codes get makeover

April showers lose power

by STEVE WEHRLY Journal reporter

by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter

Dennis Dahl was just half a mile away from the finish line when he was stopped. He and other runners stood still as they heard there had been an explosion. “We thought maybe it was an accidental gas explosion,” he recalled. “Not a bombing.” Dahl was one of many who witnessed a day of human triumph turn to a day of fear and chaos. Three people were killed and more than 100 were injured in the Boston Marathon on April 15. “I don’t even know who won the Boston Marathon,” said Dahl. “It was supposed to be a big celebration. People had to work really hard to qualify. Especially for those of us doing it the first time … it’s exciting to cross the finish line and that was taken away from 27,000 people.” But he said not finishing the race pales in comparison to the violence of that day. “I’m pissed,” he said. “It was absolutely senseless.” Dahl had qualified for the race in the fall by completing the Coeur d’Alene marathon in just about four hours. He told the Sounder in November that, “Really, it’s a big deal. I’ve always been excited to have a chance to do it.” Luckily he and his wife Bonnie, who went to cheer him on, were not injured by the explosions. But he was separated from Bonnie for nearly an hour. He described that time as “being in panic” until they were reunited.

Orcas Fire opts out of ‘shared’ marine emergency vessel by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher

Orcas Fire is battening down its hatches – at least when it comes to extra expenditures. After seeking community input at town hall meetings, fire commission sessions and 16 strategic planning conferences, the commissioners voted to not be partners with the Sheriff ’s Office for a new emergency vessel. “Fiscal accountability” was the primary reason for opting out of the Marine Operations User’s Group. “We diligently compared the potential financial impacts to our taxpayers with the prospective benefits of the new program,” said Fire Chief Kevin O’Brien. “Community input was also a significant driver, as well as the recent improved availability of federal marine resources.” In November, the Sheriff ’s Office was awarded a Federal Port Security Grant of up to $785,000 to acquire an emergency response boat for fire agencies and emergency medical services as well as law enforcement. The grant requires a local match that can be satisfied by staff time and other planned expenditures that should not increase costs to local taxpayers. MOUG includes all the public safety organizations in San Juan County and is tasked with overseeing the marine operations program. As a financial participant, OIFR would have been responsible for

approximately $25,000 per year in maintenance and operational costs for the program. Sheriff Rob Nou was hopeful that the vessel would serve as a marine ambulance for medical response in weather conditions that make evacuation by air impossible. It would also be outfitted for marine rescue and dive response, equipped to fight marine, marina and waterfront fires, and be an all-weather patrol boat for law enforcement and emergency response tasks necessary in San Juan County. The grant requires that the vessel is built by August 2014, so Nou says time is of the essence to hear back from the other departments. “Obviously, I am disappointed in Orcas Fire’s decision,” Nou said. “I am not sure what impact it will have. With a smaller pool of contributions, we may have to scale the project back. But at this point, that is unknown. It’s very much still a work in progress. We’re not dead in the water yet ... This is an incredible opportunity for all of us – to have this asset available in-county. It’s not going to do anyone any good to have this vessel that no one can afford to use.” Lopez Fire Chief Jim Ghiglione says the department is unsure at what level it will participate in MOUG. “It’s really a financial issue,” Ghiglione said. “We know that for Lopez we can’t rely on the

Seven years after the county council decided San Juan County's Code Enforcement Ordinance needed streamlining, the planning commission presented a new draft enforcement ordinance applicable to the Unified Development Code on April 8. The council decided to move forward with the draft, scheduling a “Second Touch” hearing on April 23, and a Public Hearing and possible final passage for May 7, the final scheduled meeting of the six-person council.

In tithing over 10 percent of its annual member contributions, the church supports ministry to the elderly, education for children and support of environmental causes. In addition, the congregation has grown significantly in terms of new members, financial support and parish programs. Although retiring for the third time, Bishop Anderson will be continuing his ministry as an Assistant Bishop in the Diocese of Olympia. “I look forward to getting to know and visit churches in western Washington and helping with various Diocesan programs,” he said. In his retirement, he will stay involved with the Orcas Island Community Foundation as a member of the board, as well as devoting more time to the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City, supporting environmental programs, such as Friends of the Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge in western Minnesota, and working with the USDA and National Fish and Wildlife Service on sustainable farming projects and restoring prairie habitat on his farm in Minnesota. The Reverends Kate Kinney and Wray MacKay, recently retired priests of the Diocese of Olympia and residents of Orcas since last summer, will be serving as Interim Co-Rectors while Emmanuel Parish works with the Diocese to find a new rector for the church.

mates that he has finished four or five marathons. Last year he ran the 100mile Ultra-Trail du MontBlanc in Europe and before that he ran in the Seattle Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon with his son and daughter. He started training yesterday for his next race. He plans on completing the North Olympic Marathon on June 2. Before the Boston Marathon, he told the Sounder that he doesn’t “plan to slow down – life is too fragile.” Now these are words that ring all too true with an eerie resonance for a day that few will be able to forget.

Tideland creosote removal project starts Friends of the San Juans is partnering with the Washington State Department of Natural Resources to remove unnecessary toxic creosote-treated pilings and old structures from tidelands in San Juan County at no cost to interested landowners. The goal of the project is to improve water quality and overall ecosystem health for salmon and salmon prey. Creosote-treated wood was commonly used in marine structures throughout the Salish Sea for more than a century during a period of rapid development and industrial expansion. Like other chemical compounds that were innovations in their time, creosote was broadly used without knowledge of its long-term consequences. It is now known that creosote contains more than 50 carcinogens and is toxic to marine fish and other wildlife. “Research has shown that herring eggs exposed to creosote have a high mortality rate,” said Tina Whitman, Friends’ science director. “Chemicals found in creosote also affect juvenile salmon that migrate through contaminated estuaries by reducing their growth and altering immune function. These chemicals also affect other species, such as herring, that are important food for salmon, Orca and birds.” DNR has been partnering with local groups, governments, and private property owners to remove treated

wood located on public and private property throughout the Salish Sea since 2004. “We look forward to collaborating with Friends and San Juan County citizens to restore and protect beaches and tidelands from the continuing negative effects of creosote treated wood in the marine environment,” said Lisa Kaufman, DNR restoration manager. Friends and DNR are currently seeking property owners who have in-water creosote-treated pilings they are interested removing. This program is voluntary and free to property owners. To participate, contact Tina Whitman at 378-2319 or Lisa Kaufman at 360-854-2808. The focus of this project is the removal of unwanted in-water piles and structures. However, Friends and DNR are also interested in hearing about beach sites with large accumulations of creosote-treated debris that wash up on shore. This material may eligible for removal through DNR’s Puget SoundCorps Program. Friends received funding from the Washington State Salmon Recovery Funding Board to coordinate the local effort in San Juan County. This is part of the state-wide DNR Creosote Removal Program in which more than 13,400 tons of piles, 231,000 square feet of overwater structures and 2,700 tons of toxic beach debris have been removed from the Salish Sea to date.

Editorial

Orcas Fire Department made the right call

he Orcas Fire commissioners had to make a tough decision, but we think it was the right one. While we admire Sheriff Rob Nou’s enthusiasm for a top of the line emergency response vessel, it does require considerable financial support from our local fire districts. Construction of the boat would be paid for with grant money, but a revenue source for ongoing maintenance and usage is required. Emergency providers are currently charged $1,000 by the Sheriff for each marine EMS transport. With the purchase of a new vessel, the bill for transport is set to be $6,500 per transport for agencies that are not financial partners in the endeavor. If OIFR was to be a partner, the cost is around $25,000 per year. In 2012, OIFR used the Sheriff’s boat four times; in 2011, that number was three. Orcas Fire Chief Kevin O’Brien and the board of commissioners looked at their current transportation services and made the decision that they were adequate. They also took into account community feedback. The department has off-island transport to hospitals through: Airlift Northwest, Island Air Ambulance, Sheriff’s Vessel “The Guardian,” Washington State Ferries, U.S. Navy Rescue Helicopter, U.S. Coast Guard safe boats and helicopter, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol safe boats and helicopter and private vessels. We like the idea of a fully equipped, shared marine vessel. But given the many options that Orcas Fire has at its disposal, we understand their decision. We hope the boat project comes to fruition and that the departments can use it on a need-by-need basis.

Port suing neighbors

Public meetings

The ISlandS’

To the Editor:

The Port of Orcas will spend over $80,000 to sue their neighbors over an issue that was resolved by a joint committee but not accepted by the Port and the FAA. Fact: this is a property rights issue that does not involve the FAA. The neighboring property owners, who have deeded access rights to use the “airstrip” (not other Port Property), requested a joint committee meeting after the port wrote

a tariff demanding the property owners pay a fee based on the tie down fee (the amount charged to aircraft owners that rent a Port tie down space for their aircraft). The property owners objected because the fee did not reflect the language of their deeds. The owners understood that a fee could be charged for access and use and were willing to do so, but only “as charged to all others for like use of the airstrip” as stated in the deed. All commercial aircraft that use the Orcas Airport and airports throughout the world pay landing fees. The property owners offered to pay three times the amount the commercial carriers were paying but the FAA refused. Note: it was not necessary for the port to ask the FAA. The port initially filed a Declaratory Relief with the court. The judge ruled against the Port using a tie down fee basis but did not suggest an alternative basis. The Port has continued their attempt to charge the property owners a fee that does not reflect the language of the deed. As a result, there will now be a full trial to resolve the issue. No matter what the outcome, at best it will take over 100 years for the port to recover the money they have wasted on a frivolous lawsuit against their friends and neighbors – all because

they couldn’t make a decision about something they were legally entitled to make. So there are your tax dollars at work. If you believe that deeded rights should be honored and the port should not foolishly spend your tax dollars, call one of the port commissioners for an accounting and an explanation.

Sometimes volunteers simply visit with their recipient and the friendship developed nurtures both volunteer and recipient. This service can be a critical factor in allowing those we help to continue to live in their own home. Last year our volunteers gave more than 1,500 hours of service. If you know of someone who is lonely and/or in need of assistance, or if you are interested in learning more about becoming a volunteer, please contact Hearts and Hands at 3767723.

Support Healing Arts Fair and Helen Hale On behalf of the Healing Arts Center, I’d like to invite the community to take part in the Spring Health Fair, April 27 and 28. Twice a year the practitioners donate their services to the center, and the center in turn offers those sessions at discounted rates: $45/hour and $25/half hour. There are also a variety of appointments offered outside of the fair weekend if you can’t make it. This is a very popular event in the community, allowing people new and old to the center to try a variety of modalities and styles of massage, acupuncture, counseling, and energy work. It’s a very healthy and dynamic way to nourish yourself, while supporting the mission of the nonprofit Healing Arts Center. This weekend’s fair is a milestone for many reasons. This year the Healing Arts Center is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Since we’ve offered fairs twice a year since 1988, it’s likely that we’ve offered 50 of these health fairs to date (so many we’ve basically lost count). In addition to our biannual fairs, the Healing Arts Center gives back to the community by donating services to many organizations such as the Montessori and Salmonberry schools, OPAL Community Landtrust, FEAST, and the Funhouse, just to name a few. The Healing Arts Center also has donated

or offered discounted rates to individuals struggling through illness and hard financial times. The 2013 Spring Fair is also a bittersweet marking of time, as Helen Hale will be unable to offer her intuitive readings or volunteer at the desk. Many of you know Helen or would recognize her as the always jovial, smiling receptionist with a Southern accent. She has been a mainstay at the reception desk as well as our treasurer for 15 years. The Healing Arts Center is her home, and its members her family. After a resilient and optimistic battle with cancer for the last few years, her health has rapidly diminished in the last few weeks. Although she is still with us on the earth, she will be sorely missed at this year’s fair. In addition to our nonprofit fundraiser, we will also be collecting funds to help Helen through this very difficult time. Helen holds a special place in her heart for these fairs. It brings her great joy when we have a successful one. Please join us this weekend in support of the Healing Arts Center and of Helen. It’s been our honor to serve for the last 25 years. Christopher Evans Healing Arts Center VicePresident

Byers thanks the Community As I write this, I do not know the outcome of the election for the county council. What I do know is that I am extremely grateful. I am grateful for each of you who has worked on the campaign and who has engaged in this long process of multiple elections. I am grateful to each of you who asked hard questions that provided me with the opportunity to ponder and articulate thoughtful answers. I value the relationship I have developed with Rick Hughes – a man who cares deeply about these islands. Campaigning has strengthened my appreciation for our community and my commitment to this place. Regardless of the election’s outcome, I look forward to working with others to help craft a healthy and vibrant future for our island home. Lisa Byers Orcas Island

SHERIFF’S LOG

Sheriff’s Department responded to these calls:

March 10: A San Juan Island man was arrested for DUI after crashing into a mailbox on Bailer Hill Road. The 40-year-old, who was taken into custody at about 7 p.m., struck a mailbox in the 1800 block of Bailer Hill and came to a halt following a failed attempt to steer his SUV back onto the roadway – a 60-yard struggle – after it drifted into a ditch. March 26: A Friday Harbor man is the prime suspect in a case of vandalism of a pair of pop machines. Footage from a surveillance camera at a Carter Avenue gas station reportedly shows the 36-year-old damaging a pop machine there; a pop machine outside a rental shop about a block away sustained $500 damage the same night. March 29: An Orcas Island man was arrested for DUI following an ill-fated encounter with a fence on Bartel Road. The 40-yearold, who was taken into custody shortly before 10 p.m., reportedly drifted off the roadway and crashed his pickup into the fence. He was also ticketed for driving without insurance. March 30: Lopez Island school officials were in no laughing mood after someone scattered six dozen Easter eggs inside, including in a fish tank, in an apparent April Fool’s Day prank, and trespassing complaint. Several eggs had “No Bond” written on them, an apparent political statement about the school construction bond election; authorities found no sign of forced entry. March 31: A dachshund could end up designated as a “dangerous dog” after it darted out of its Friday Harbor home and bit a 7-year-old girl on the back and arm as she fled from the front door of a neighbor’s apartment. The girl, accompanied by a friend, was selling Girl Scout cookies at the time of the attack. The incident and whether the dog should be listed as dangerous are reportedly under review.

• A San Juan Island man faces charges of theft following an alleged case of shoplifting at a Friday Harbor grocery store. The 65-year-old, who was taken into custody at about 7 p.m., strolled out a back door with a bag of merchandise, some of which he allegedly did not pay for. He reportedly admitted to shoplifting at the store several times before. • A Friday Harbor man was arrested for DUI following a series of late-night traffic infractions on the streets of Friday Harbor. The 49-yearold, who was taken into custody at about 11:30 p.m., reportedly crossed a center line moments before making a left turn, and then failed to come to a complete stop at a stop sign a moment later, for which he was ticketed. April 5: An Orcas Island man faces charges of trespassing after a woman decided she’d heard enough pounding on her front door. The 34-year-old was found on foot not far from the woman’s Deer Harbor home and taken into custody shortly after 10 a.m. He reportedly yelled and banged on the door on two separate occasions that morning, and had done so several weeks earlier, ignoring the woman’s demands to leave, and that he had no reason to be there. • Authorities intervened after a Lopez Island woman threatened to shut off the water to a rental home on her Aleck Bay Road property. The couple living there, who struck a deal with the co-owner of the property, the woman’s brother, have reportedly failed to pay rent for months. April 6: A late-night noise complaint and failure to appear in court on a two-year-old charge of driving with a suspended license prompted the arrest of an Orcas Island man. The 34-year-old was taken into custody at his Mountain View Lane home at about 1:30 a.m. He was released pending a date in court after

Enzo’s: don’t settle for less!

Page 5 paying $200 bail. April 8: A Friday Harbor man was banished from the airport for a day following a confrontation with a pilot whose plane he had just boarded, as well as for an ensuing tirade in the terminal after being kicked off the aircraft. A heated quarrel erupted after the 32-yearold questioned the aviator’s skills; he then reportedly challenged, threatened and abused airport staff in the argument’s aftermath. • A Friday Harbor man was arrested for DUI and for furnishing alcohol to a minor following a failed attempt to elude an officer in pursuit. The 27-year-old was pulled over and taken into custody near the intersection of Harbor Street and Tucker Avenue at about midnight. His passenger, a 19-year-old man, was arrested for being

a minor in possession of alcohol as well. April 10: A golf cart disappeared from outside a Friday Harbor home in an apparent case of theft. The homeowner suspect those responsible must have pushed the cart form the driveway of his Dougherty Lane home because he would have heard if the engine had been turned on. The keys were reportedly left in the ignition. April 7: Bags stuffed with deer entrails were discarded on a Lopez woman’s property in an apparent case of illegal dumping. The bags reportedly contained chunks of fur, bones and guts and, according to woman’s 78-year-brother, who notified authorities of discarded carnage, it’s not the first time that bags containing animal entrails have been discarded on the Hughes Bay Road property.

CODE FROM 1 line protection and the Critical Areas Ordinances. Enforcement of the county’s building and construction codes are also affected by the Code Enforcement Ordinance. Code enforcement procedures have been a source of complaints and dissatisfaction in the building community since the current enforcement ordinance was passed in 1998. According to Rene Beliveau, director of the Department of Community Development and Planning,

Wednesday, April 24, 2013 • The Islands’ Sounder

builders and developers told him and the planning commission that notice of violation procedures were unclear, penalty provisions excessive, and correction and remediation methods unwieldy. All of these problems have been addressed in the proposal, Beliveau said. A $2,300 up-front filing fee for appeals of land use decisions, originally designed to discourage frivolous appeals, has been a particular sore spot for builders and developers. The council is expected to reduce that fee as part of enacting the new code

enforcement law. Prohibiting third parties from intervening directly in appeals was one suggestion approved by the planning commission, but carrying out that suggestion has been left to the rules of procedure of the hearing examiner. The proposed ordinance reduces penalties for violations, and provides for time to cure or correct violations before penalties or additional penalties are imposed. Double penalties are imposed for repeat violations, and triple penalties are imposed for Shoreline Master Program regulation

will be outdoors painting directly from nature, in good, bad and even ugly weather, at most of over 100 Washington State Parks. Besides the fact that most landscape artists love to paint unspoiled areas, PAWA members are working hard this year to elevate awareness of the fragile beauty within our own state parks as well as create public awareness and interaction with the new “Plein Air Painting” movement that has been sweeping across America for the last twenty five years. Millions of digital photo images are taken annually, by visitors to our parks, but none are ever as unique or exciting as an original painting, made through the eyes and hands of an artist experiencing the moment, in natural conditions. This centennial year, PAWA artists are making an effort to share the “gift of original paintings” to Washington state and its

violations. Stop work orders, emergency orders, liens, suspension or revocation of permits and divisions of land are several areas of concern that are rewritten by the ordinance. The Planning Commission, which has been working on the draft for two years, approved the final version with only one “no” vote on one section of the proposed ordinance. That kind of near-unanimity, after all the contentiousness of the CAO review, should result in final passage by the council on May 7.

Buchanan in NW Watercolor Society The Northwest Watercolor Society announced that the painting “The Tourist Girlfriend” by Obstruction Island artist Caroline Buchanan has been accepted for its 73rd Annual International Open Exhibition. The exhibit was selected by watercolor artist and juror Mark Mehaffey. The 73rd Open Exhibition runs from April 15 through May 31 at the Mercer View Gallery, 8236 SE 24th Street, Mercer Island. A reception and awards ceremony will be held on April 25 from 6 to 8 p.m.

The Seattle-based Northwest Watercolor Society Open Exhibition is open to any water media artists world-wide whose paintings are selected. The current exhibit of 64 paintings includes 14 artists from Washington state and 24 from the states that comprise the Pacific Northwest, and five from other countries besides the U.S. Signature membership is achieved when an artist becomes a signature member of the NWWS when he or she has been accepted in two or more Open Exhibitions. Buchanan has been a signature member since 1981. “The Tourist Girlfriend” was inspired by the girlfriend of a Greek basket merchant, sitting in the sun in Hania, Crete, turning away from writing in her journal. The subject followed its own journey through several interpretations over a number of years. Buchanan has lived on Obstruction Island since 1992. She has taught workshops in far-flung places such as the Greek Islands and Tahiti. She also teaches and shows locally. More info can be found at www. buchananwatercolors.com.

Are you missing the Exchange? by GeorGe Post & Kim sKarda aNdersoN

Many people who are expressing concerns about the recent fire at the Exchange are now realizing that for the past 30 years, the organization has been a significant public service on Orcas Island. Like the library, the post office, Orcas Center, the senior center, ferry landing, farmers’ market, the Exchange enhanced the social and economic flow of our community. Yes, it was where you could take your unwanted suitcase, bike, clothing, phone, nails, books, windows, furniture and know that someone else would benefit from their usefulness. And yes, if you needed a chair or a heater or some theatrical props or everything to start a household on Orcas, you stood a good chance of finding exactly what you needed for a “what is it worth to you” contribution. In addition, the Exchange diverted thousands of tons of materials away from the landfill and kept hundreds of thousands of our dol-

lars from leaving Orcas for mainland stores. Those dollars, instead, sustained the Exchange and helped many, many other island nonprofit organizations and individuals in need. The Exchange also helped educate a generation of our children about the "Three Rs" through its school presentations, theatrical productions and the experience of just going to the Exchange. Ditto for the thousands of tourists and guests who have taken the Exchange experience home with them. Many are sensing the absence of this social and economic hub that we had all grown used to and which in fact had become an important, essential part of our island’s community structure. It’s hard to imagine any enduring community, especially an island community that does not have some such place to exchange its goods. Orcas Recycling Services, the non-profit that has always operated the Exchange, is now negotiating with the county to assume control of the entire Orcas transfer station site, including garbage and recy-

cling. For the first time the responsibility for handling our waste and its potential resources will be in the hands of Orcas islanders alone. This offers our Island the opportunity and the challenge to devise a waste management program that serves our unique island needs and our community values. ORS has stepped up to this task with the expectation that with the right business model and community support it can respond to and satisfy our needs. As part of developing a new Exchange, ORS is sponsoring a gathering of stories, memories and photos about Exchange experiences. These stories will help inform future plans and will be organized into an historical display at the Orcas Library in August. You are invited to add your Exchange stories to this project. Take your story and comments on how the Exchange has affected you to the library desk or email to kimskarda@yahoo.com. Rebuilding a new Exchange will require the support and cooperation of our entire community. This project is a step toward gathering that support. Often it is necessary to lose something to really appreciate its value. The Exchange, “What’s it worth to you?” Let’s find out. Thanks. George Post lives in Olga and Kim Skarda Anderson lives in Eastsound.

VESSEL FROM 1 ferry system for transport of patients by boat and transport of firefighting personnel inter-island. We need a cooperative agreement with other agencies, but it’s such a small issue for us – we have 1.6 boat transports per year. So is this a good use of taxpayers’ money?” Ghiglione says the new PeaceHealth Hospital on San Juan is also an option for patients instead of St. Joseph’s in Bellingham. “If the helicopters can’t fly and the Navy or Coast Guard isn’t available, we are more than likely going to take them across the pond over to San Juan,” he said. “Plus, before we go to the boat, we explore every air aspect first. Air is our primary method of transporting patients.” The Lopez Fire board will discuss the matter at its May 13 board meeting. The proposed boat is intended to replace two existing public safety vessels. From the Sheriff ’s Office,

the 28-foot Boston Whaler patrol boat on Orcas is due to be retired. San Juan Island Fire District 3 also plans to decommission its fireboat “Confidence” when the new boat, with greater fire-fighting capabilities, comes into service. The existing fire boat may be sold to another agency in the Puget Sound, helping to fund the project. Currently, the Sheriff ’s boat “Guardian” serves as a marine ambulance and emergency response vessel. When the new boat comes into service, “Guardian” would move to Orcas, but be available for emergencies throughout the county. Emergency providers are currently charged $1,000 by the Sheriff ’s Office for each marine EMS transport. With the purchase of a new vessel, the bill for transport is set to be $6,500 per transport for agencies that are not financial partners in MOUG. Since 2007, OIFR has used the Sheriff ’s vessel Guardian an average of seven times per year for EMS transports: four in 2012 and three in

2011. This year, it has made two marine EMS transports, one by the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol and the other by the U.S. Coast Guard. There is currently no fee for marine transport with these federal organizations. “OIFR will always assure that our EMS patients receive the highest level of care,” O’Brien said. “Orcas Island Fire and Rescue will continue to foster collaboration with the Sheriff ’s Department and our neighboring emergency providers. In the remote island setting we live, we can’t operate alone. We will endeavor to seek partnerships and offer assistance to our surrounding neighbors.”

CAO in ‘Open Meetings’ lawsuit by Scott RaSmuSSen Journal editor

San Juan County could find itself having to redo a significant portion of its critical areas ordinance if allegations that the council violated the state Open Meetings Act in preparing the recently approved, controversial land-use regulations are determined to be true. Oral arguments began in an Island County courthouse on April 19 with the county's legal team calling first for the case, a lawsuit brought by San Juans’ Citizens Alliance for Property Rights, to be dismissed. “Our contention, in part, is there was no violation of the open meetings act because three people are not a majority or a quorum of the council,” Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord said. A decision on the county's motion for dismissal is expected sometime this week. The county and CAPR agree that as many as three council members joined in when a group known as the CAO/SMP (shoreline master program) implementation committee got together to hash out issues related to the revision of those two land-use regulations over roughly two years’ time. That committee, which was assembled by former county administrator Pete Rose, according to Gaylord, met about 20 times over the course of those 24 months. In addition to the county, defendants named in the lawsuit are former County Council Members Richard Fralick and Lovel Pratt, and Councilwoman Patty Miller. Filed in San Juan County Superior Court in mid-October, the lawsuit was later moved to Island County following a motion by CAPR attorney Dennis Reynolds that disqualified Judge Don Eaton from the case. Rulings will be handed down by Island County Judge Alan Hancock, who, along with Judge Vicki Churchill, presided over superior courts of both Island and San Juan counties up until 2007. The lawsuit contends important policy decisions were discussed at those meetings and that the public – because no public notice was given of them – was not allowed to attend or observe. In addition, it alleges the county failed to follow state law instructing counties how to revise a critical areas ordinance and shoreline master program, and to develop the so-called best available science. The lawsuit Sign up Ad #1 seeks to undo any “action” that was taken related to those meetings.

American Tug Spring Fling in DH Memorial for Cavalli The Deer Harbor Marina will again host the local American Tug fleet at their annual “Spring Fling” owners event from April 25 through 28. There will be 26 American Tugs at The Deer Harbor Marina, including three different models: American Tug 34, American Tug 39.5 and the American Tug 41. More than 50 people will be in attendance to celebrate the start of the season. The American Tug Owners

Association has three events planned for 2013: the season kick off at the Deer Harbor Marina, a long distance summer cruise to Fitz Hugh Sound on the central B.C. coast, and the annual Rendezvous in Oak Harbor. American Tugs are a locally made expedition yacht, built in La Conner, Wash. Since 2000, Tomco Marine Group has built more than 200 boats with half of them remaining in local waters. The tugs are easy to spot on

the water with their bluff bows and colored hulls. Orcas Islanders Susan and Rex Chadwell, owners of the American Tug 41 “Flexible” moored at the Deer Harbor Marina, are hosting this event. Additional information is available from Steve Scruggs of Tomco Marine Group at 360-466-2961.

Rylan Date during the game against Cedar Park Christian.

The Vikings baseball team (2-5) showed improvement in a 4-1 win against Cedar Park Christian Mount Lake Terrace (5-6) at Buck Park on April 17. “This was the best we have played all year, we only had one defensive error,” said Coach Jim Passer. Rylan Date pitched a solid game with four strikeouts while Orcas bats got hits off a good pitcher and defense. In the second inning, Daniel Briggs scored first, starting with a single, then stealing second and brought home by a single from Gwydon Marreth. Pasha Bullock scored in the third inning while Miles Harlow hit an RBI bring home Devon Stanzione for the score. In the fourth inning Kyle Masters pounded a triple and scored on a ground out by Bullock. Passer was pleased with the win. “Cedar Park is a good team, they beat LaConner,” he said. “We are completing with them for a playoff spot. We are getting better every week. We have shown improvement that is now translating into wins.” The Friday Harbor game scheduled for April 19 was rained out. Orcas plays Darrington next.

Coach Tina Brown with rowers Lian Nutt, Devon Mann, Gunnar Sandwith and Jake Zier. by MARTY ZIER Sports contributor

The Orcas Island Rowing Association attended their second race of the season, the Spring Sprints Regatta held at Lake Stevens, Wash. on April 13. They competed against teams from Sammamish, Olympia, Lake Union, Fort Langley, Delta Deas and Deep Dove. Due to spring break conflicts and a last minute regatta date change, only eight members of OIRA were able to make the trip, making for some unusual boat combinations for the seven scheduled races. To further make the 39 degree morning interesting, rain and wind shortened the 1500 meter races to 1000 meters. The first race of the morning and finishing a respectable fifth place was the men’s quad with Jake Zier, Devon Mann, Gunnar Sandwith and Liam Nutt. The unlikely combination of seniors and eight graders, including Mann, who is a female, had coach Coach Tina Brown jumping in amazement as the Orcas boat competed mid pack at the finish. Hitting the water next was the men’s 1x, which mixed heavyweight and lightweight

rowers, who usually race in separate events. Finishing first overall was heavyweight Zier while lightweight Zach Wolford had a strong third place finish in his heat. Zonia Darnell and Mann raced the women’s novice 2x in a tight race for seventh place while Ray Doss and Charlie Holmes finished second in their heat in the men’s novice 2x. Mann finished fifth in her heat in the women's 1x while Darnell finished seventh in the men’s and women’s mixed 1x. Holmes finished an impressive second overall in the men’s novice 1x while Nutt and Sandwith finished 4th in their heat in the men’s lightweight 2x. Coach Brown said she was proud of Mann. “She is just an eighth grader and she held her own,” she said. “I look forward to her improving her skills and getting stronger. Of course I was very proud of Jake and Charlie’s performance too. It's the younger rowers that have to fill the huge hole the graduating seniors will leave.” OIRA travels to Mill Bay, B.C. for the Brentwood Regatta later this month.

Parnell to be announcer in BC by MARTY ZIER Sports contributor

Merrick Parnell

Contributed photo

Orcas Islander Merrick Parnell has just been named the Public Address Announcer for British Columbia's Delta Islanders Box Lacrosse Team. According to Parnell, the B.C. Lacrosse League is one level below the National Lacrosse League and is played inside a hockey rink and is very similar to hockey. Already known as a legend on Orcas Island announcing every high school sport possible, Parnell brings local, national and international experience to Delta, having announced for the

Bellingham Blazers Hockey team, freelance work with the NBA Utah Jazz and NHL correspondent work in Russia. This is a definite step in the right direction for the ambitious Parnell, who is climbing into the professional arena he targets, “My goal is to be the public announcer and involved with media relations for a NBA, NHL or National Lacrosse League team,” he said. Watch a high school sport, and if Merrick and announcing equipment are anywhere nearby, you will hear the passion for a career which he excels at.

Granny’s Attic Something for everyone by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter

Every spring Jane Heisinger’s office at the senior center gets overrun, not with paperwork, bills or books. No, her office becomes home to dazzling jewelry, antique pottery, foreign masks and other interesting art. “It’s always different, always unusual and always fun,” said Heisinger, the organizer of Granny’s Attic. The annual fundraiser for the senior center called “Granny’s Attic” is Saturday, April 27, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Shoppers are asked to bring their own bags if possible. At 2 p.m., all furniture and higher end items will be marked half off and you can fill a grocery bag with anything from the main room for $5. Goods range anywhere from cookbooks to roller blades to rollaway beds to quality camping equipment. Heisinger said that some specialty items this year include an original painting by F.T. Darvill, the original owner of Darvill’s Bookstore, a River Jim sculpture, Joe Floren photos and a Thai Khon mask. “Donations have been great,” Heisinger said. “I think because there is no longer an

There is a core group of eight volunteers, but somedays up to 12 helpers come to price and polish for six Tuesdays before the sale starts.

OICF to host workshop on nonprofit financials The Orcas Island Community Foundation presents “Nonprofit Financial Statements Part 2” with Erin Welch of Jacobson Jarvis and Co. on Thursday, May 9 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Eastsound Fire Hall. The workshop is open to all nonprofits, board members, and interested citizens and provides a refresher on basic nonprofit financial statements and Form 990 concepts. Many of these issues were addressed in the “Speed Reading Financials” workshop presented by Welch last year. This program will dive deeper into the issues

and include more time for interactive and in-depth examples of financial statement “do’s and don’ts.” Come learn how to use the treasurer's report more effectively and better communicate financial information to the board, including the use of dashboards. Participants are encouraged to bring a copy of their organization's financial statements as a reference for questions and ideas for improvement and burning financial questions, as there will be expanded Q&A time. Welch is a CPA and a financial statement auditor and consultant, working with not-for-profits to prepare financial state-

ments that accurately and effectively communicate to external audiences. She also helps clients implement internal controls and other processes, facilitates board financial training and communications, and conducts financial health assessments for not-for-profits. In addition to her professional service, Welch is treasurer of the Mockingbird Society board and serves on the United Way Audit Review Committee. The cost is $30 per organization and organizations are encouraged to send multiple participants. Email info@OICF.us or call 3766423 to register.

Excessive exposure to the Islands’ Sounder has been linked to increased community engagement and overall personal awesomeness.

‘Europe in Crisis’ lecture New teacher at Salmonberry The Orcas Library will host “Europe in Crisis – the Future of the Euro” at 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 25 at the Eastsound Fire Hall. Financial experts Gerry Lawlor and Audra QueryLawlor will share personal perspectives on global economies. They will range over a variety of inter-related topics, beginning with Europe’s huge challenges in facing the Euro currency crisis. They will discuss European real estate mortgage practices, which are different from the U.S.; also, how big bank and financial institutions are driving indexes higher with insufficient regard for risks.

and Gerry will bring their expertise to bear in exploring other world currencies, sovereign debt, globalization, and the effects of all of these issues on markets in the United States. A lover of writing, growing things, and eating them, Audra once moonlighted as a currency and interest rate derivatives marketer on Wall Street. Author of the farm-to-fork blog “Girl Meets Dirt,” chronicling her city slickin’ transition to country life, she spent 10 years working at investment banks wishing she was doing something else. Starting out as an economic analyst at Credit Suisse focused on Latin American Sovereign Debt, she progressed to advising corporate clients on derivative solutions to manage their currency and interest rate risk, with stints at JPMorgan, Merrill Lynch, and Goldman Sachs. She has an M.A. in Quantitative Methods from Columbia and harbors a secret love for excel spreadsheets and anything laced with sugar. Hailing from the ‘I’ in

PIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Spain), Gerry moved to the U.S. before the boom and bust, chasing a wee white golf ball over green pastures, and found his way into the very colorful side of Wall Street’s inter-dealing. After 14 years of fixed income and derivative sell-side and interdealer brokering, Gerry found himself at the heart of the transactions, trading or managing the development of large scale trading systems around the globe. Prior to moving west Gerry has worked for Bank of America, ICAP, Goldman Sachs, NASDAQ and TMX. “Europe In Crisis – the Future of the Euro” is brought to you in partnership with Friends of the Orcas Library. This event is part of a series of lectures hosted by the Orcas Island Public Library in celebration of the current building’s 20th Anniversary. For additional information on this and other events, visit the Orcas Library’s website at www. orcaslibrary.org

Salmonberry School will introduce its newest faculty member Tom Rawson to the Orcas Island community at an open house for all elementary grades to be held on Monday, April 29 from 3:30 to 5 p.m. An open house for ages three to six follows on Tuesday, April 30 at 3:30 p.m. Rawson, pictured at right, brings 25 years of teaching experience both at the independent Little School in Bellevue, Wash. and at Seattle Public School District’s Summit School. He will teach Salmonberry School’s primary grades class, where he will bring his passion and skill as a master literacy teacher. “Tom is someone I have known for years, having met him at several regional conferences, where I attended workshops, which he led,” said Salmonberry Program Director Paul Freedman. “I am thrilled that he has chosen to relocate to Orcas Island to join the Salmonberry School teaching team at this stage of his career.” Rawson has visited the island many times to give

concerts, as he is also a professional singer/songwriter and storyteller. “Tom has taught weeklong classes in ukulelebased music and storytelling at Salmonberry’s summer camps for the past two years,” said Freedman. “You cannot help but to feel warm and welcome in Tom’s presence.”

Crossroads â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Vanishing Languagesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lecture WWW.THEISLANDSSOUNDER.COM

Orcas Crossroads Lecture Series will host linguist Greg Anderson, who is presenting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vanishing Languages: highlighting the Salish Experienceâ&#x20AC;? on Wednesday, May 1 at 5 p.m. in the Episcopal Parish Hall. Anderson is director of Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages and a National Geographic Society Fellow. The global language extinction crisis stands out among the most widespread but still poorly known

social issues of the 21st century. More than half of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s languages will likely disappear this century. When the last elder-speaker of a language dies, they take with them a vast repository of knowledge and history of an entire community and region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is because language shift is happening largely among subjugated and ignored segments of the population,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said. In this talk, he will contextualize the global lan-

guage extinction crisis, its causes and consequences. Language diversity and language endangerment are not evenly distributed globally, and he will talk briefly about how and where centralized efforts need to be focused in the 21st century. He will give examples of communities that are taking steps in this struggle around the world with the assistance of linguists and activists from Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages. Turning from the macro-scale to the micro-level, Anderson will introduce the audience to the situation in the Pacific Northwest region stretching from the southern Alaskan panhan-

dle across British Columbia, Washington and Oregon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of the voices of this region have already fallen silent, but steps are being taken to combat the language extinction crisis on the local level,â&#x20AC;? said Anderson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I highlight some grass-roots movements among federally recognized groups as well as communities that lack current federal recognition from the region, focusing on language groups that belong to the Dene and Salish families.â&#x20AC;? Anderson will delve into the deeper ideas of what language can and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t achieve. For instance, language creates identity and a unique historical record.

But Anderson says there is a myth that common language leads to mutual understanding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can be easily disproven by the incredible number of civil wars fought in the past and present, including our own Civil War â&#x20AC;&#x201C; common language didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in fact I am unaware of any war ever having been fought over language as the primary motivating factor,â&#x20AC;? he said.
