The owls of our isle

A story of the barred owl and what its presence means to us by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter

Described as beautiful, aggressive and at once both soft and sharp, barred owls are an object of fascination and concern. Recent national news reports that barred owls are displacing spotted owls have the Sounder wondering just how the species fits into our island ecosystem, and did it force spotted owls from our isles?

Owl versus owl According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in the Pacific Northwest barred owls are displacing and hybridizing with spotted owls – their slightly smaller, less aggressive cousins – which are already threatened from habitat loss. That is why this year the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published an environmental impact statement explaining why it had approved the removal of about 3,600 barred owls from specific areas through Oregon, Washington and California. According to Seattle-based

nature writer Craig Welch, spotted owl populations in parts of Washington are half what they were in the 1980s. “Throughout their range, from Canada to California, Northern spotted owls are disappearing three times faster than biologists had feared,” wrote Welch in his article “The Spotted Owl’s New Nemesis” in the Smithsonian Magazine.

Birds of a feather Barred owls have vertical brown and light barring or streaking on the belly and lower chest, whereas the spotted owl has light spots on its chest. Both owls have dark brown, almost black eyes and their wings and tail are brown and white. Barred owls live in large, mature forests made up of both deciduous trees and evergreens, often near water. They nest in tree cavities. In the Northwest, barred owls have moved into old-growth coniferous forests, where they compete with the threatened spotted owl. There is some data that suggests they are

interbreeding, which is going to change the population, said Orcas biologist Kim Middleton. In 1990, the Northern subspecies of spotted owl came under the Endangered Species Act (two subspecies in other parts of the country were not affected). Both owls are not migratory birds, and generally stay in the same area. According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, of 158 birds that were banded and found later, none had moved farther than six miles away. But what is interesting about the barred owl is that original populations were found in the East and during the 20th century the bird spread through the Pacific Northwest and southward into California. Mark Lewis, the senior author of “Birding in the San Juan Islands,” said barred owls were first noted in the San Juan Islands in the early 1980s when they were considered “vagrants” but were actually the vanguard of a major colonization movement to the West Coast. “They did not become estab-

According to the National Audubon Society’s Annual Christmas Count database, barred owls were not reported to be seen in the islands until 2007.

Library hopeful public will support expansion by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter

On any given day you can see a full spectrum of folks engrossed in everything from books to audio CDs to movies to computers at the Orcas Island Public Library. Ages of patrons range from pre-schoolers to teens to seniors. They all congregate to what Rachel Newcombe calls a community hub. ‘The library is more than just about hard books, it’s about space,” said Newcombe who is president of the library board. It turns out that space, not reading materials, is something that the library has run out of. “People have to sit in their cars to use WiFi because there is no where to sit inside.” “Often people sit with laptops in there laps because there are no desks.” “There are tables in the aisles.” “And just look at how small the young adults section is – less than 100 square feet.” “It’s crowded like a New York City subway.”

These were all comments told to this writer by the board on a recent tour of the library. This lack of space and a vision for a library that can be better than just average are why two weeks ago the library board passed a motion to proceed with an expansion of the building. After looking through surveys, observation, community feedback and a needs assessment last summer, library staff concluded that patrons needed more room. “If we didn’t respond to the needs of the community we wouldn’t be meeting the responsibility of the library,” said library trustee Margaret Payne. The board has recently printed a pamphlet with these statistics: since 1995 library cardholders have increased by 86 percent from 3,103 to 5,872; the collection has increased by 68 percent to 51, 968 items; programs and classes have increased by 161 percent to 238 yearly. These numbers are evidence to the

board that change is in order. No designs have been made final, but the board is looking at an addition of around 1,500 to 2,000 square feet in the northwest sector of the library grounds. The list of needs includes more computer work stations, an additional family restroom, periodical space, an office, more storage, independent and group study area, a quiet reading room, moveable shelves to allow for more space and a place for young adults. But before any shovels hit the ground there are meetings to be held, designs to be created and money to be raised. Projection of the cost is estimated to be around $750,000. The library board has a small capital improvements fund and has maintained donations received for building projects. In addition, the Friends of the Orcas Island Library have accumulated a fund intended

Buck Park transfer stalls over ‘First Right of Use’ by MEREDITH M. GRIFFITH Sounder contributor

After over two years of deliberation, Orcas Island School District and the Orcas Island Park and Recreation District remain at an impasse over the potential transfer of Buck Park ownership, “We want OIPRD to have the park, but … we just need some concrete assurance that the school district will come first [for park use],” said school board member Janet Brownell at the September 26 meeting, also officially attended by the OIPRD board. Attorney Adina Cunningham, representing parks and rec, said that the 1987 quit claim deed by donor Robert Buck expressly

designated the land for public park and recreational uses, with transfer possible only to a nonprofit or recreation district. The school district accepted ownership in 1992 to obtain state grant funding in order to develop it as a public park, and the grant secured certain park use rights for Washington state residents. Cunningham said parks and rec would be “walking a fine line” in that regard by promising the school any exclusive use rights to Buck Park. “We clearly have advice from our attorney that conflicts with Adina,” said school board vice-chairman Scott Lancaster, suggesting the school board “at the very least, break off the whole thing and offer a lease for four or

five years.” Parks and Rec currently manages the park under a lease agreement. The school board has proposed a quit claim deed to Buck Park that would transfer ownership to parks and rec, but reserves first right of use for school athletics and classes, and shared use of the well, both free of charge. Parks and Rec would maintain the park to a predetermined standard, and could not transfer interest in the property without school approval. And if it dissolved or failed to fully observe all conditions, park ownership would revert back to the school district. Park and Rec commissioners Martha Farish and Bob Eagan questioned the need for the school board to include such requirements

Octopus shows up at school

by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter

When physical education teacher Dan Drake found an octopus on the school grounds on Monday morning, he thought it was unusual. “It’s the mystery of the day,” said Joe Maduska, who manages ground maintenance and also got a chance to see the odd sight. In the three years he has worked at the school he has never seen such a creature on the lawn.

LIBRARY FROM 1 for building improvements. Together these already existing funds amount to about $250,000. The board is looking to raise about $500,000 through private funding, grants and public donation. Newcombe said there isn’t a timeline for when the expansion will occur. The board does not anticipate pursuing additional tax revenues for the construction project. They do anticipate requesting a levy increase in the future of $10 to $15 annual for a $500,000 property. The library has not received any private donations yet, but the board is confident the community will step up. “The proof will be in the pudding” said Phil Heikki nen, Library Director. “We will need donations to make this happen.” Two public meetings are coming up to discuss the possible design of the expansions on Oct. 15 at 5:30 p.m. and Oct. 27, 2: 30 p.m. at the library. Write or email questions to pheikkinen@orcaslibrary.org.

Science teacher Gregory Books decided to have his students collect the octopus for further inspection. High school students Shelbi Rogers and Bella Nigretto scooped up the octopus and put it in a plastic bucket. Books said they will probably freeze the specimen. “It’s sad,” said Nigretto. Books suspects the octopus and several trees that were ripped out of the ground in Buck Park may be related. Books said a waterspout, a kind of tornado formed over water, may be the culprit. But after sending several students out to inspect the grounds, they could not find any evidence of any other sea life at the school. “It would be odd to have

in a quit claim deed instead of an interlocal agreement. “This community has always supported our kids,” said Eagan. “If we didn’t give the kids priority, we would have people chewing us up one side and down the other.” School board member Tony Ghazel questioned whether that priority would be secure 10-20 years in the future. “We should not govern from the grave,” said Farish. “This may not be appropriate in 2030 or 2050.” The school board’s discussion concluded with Lancaster’s unanimously approved motion to approve the proposed deed and to invite OIPRD to a board-to-board meeting.

a waterspout only drop off one octopus,” Books said. Middle and High School Principal Kyle Freeman said perhaps the octopus was killed by wave action and then a bird picked it

up. Then maybe the bird dropped it because it was too heavy. Books said this is possible, but that they may never find the truth. “There is really no good explanation for it,” he said.

Editorial

Kudos to the county

t seems to be human nature to complain more than compliment, and our county gets its fair share of grievances. So we’d like to take a moment to dispense a little praise for two projects that San Juan County has brought to fruition successfully. Mt. Baker Road’s makeover was completed on time at the end of August, six months after construction began. The road was widened from 20 to 30 feet, there are two 11-foot lanes with four-foot shoulders and a five-foot wide gravel pedestrian trail. Drainage and stormwater quality was also improved. Because the road has widened and thus destroyed 0.6 acres of wetland, compensatory wetland mitigation will be undertaken on the Land Bank’s Stonebridge Preserve, intended to rehabilitate around six acres of existing degraded wetlands. Yes, the potholes and dust this summer were a hassle, but it’s wonderful to have a protected area to walk recreationally now. And the road, which is a route for commercial trucks to go around Eastsound, is much safer – for drivers and pedestrians. In other road improvement news, federal funding has paid for up to 10 new guardrails in the county, four of which have been installed on Orcas at the following spots: Orcas Road across from Fowlers Corner, Crow Valley Road, Flaherty’s Hill on Olga Road, and Terrill Beach and Mt. Baker Road. Thank you to the county for securing funding for these important public safety projects. They were completed within budget and on time. And with the darkness of winter drawing near, we’ll feel much safer on our rural roads.

To the Editor: Whale of a Show was a success It was a Whale of a Show with young talent shining on the Orcas Center stage Saturday night. The enthusiastic and supportive audience uplifted the performers. So much gratitude goes out to all the performers, their supportive families, the amazing volunteers (without whom this would not be possible), those of you who came to the show, and to Orcas Center for the opportunity to showcase the talent of our younger community. This annual kids and family talent show is a benefit for Orcas Center’s youth programs. Didier Gincig Orcas Island

Support for Ghazel Please join me in supporting Tony Ghazel’s re-election to the Orcas Island school board. He has the integrity, experience, wisdom and state-wide connections to lead our school district forward and advocate here and in Olympia for our students. It takes a couple of years for a diligent school board member to become fully conversant with the many facets of the position, including local and state regulations, labor issues, curriculum and fiscal planning. Tony has been on the school board for nine years. He has become extremely familiar with all of these areas, with particular expertise in stewarding the public’s funds for the greatest benefit to our schools. He fully understands the issues facing the schools today, and also how to plan for the future. Tony has the ear of legislators in Olympia and the respect of other school officials throughout Washington. He has spent six years on the Washington State School Directors’ Association, an education advocacy group comprised of school board members from all districts in Washington. WSSDA drafts policies for school districts. They also discuss, prioritize and draft proposed legislation and lobby on the state level for legislative directions and changes that will

benefit schools. Tony was elected by his fellow directors as vice-chair of the legislative committee, and has succeeded in shepherding legislation that benefits our school district. Tony is an effective leader and advocate. He has accomplished a great deal for our students and our schools. I hope you will return him to office to build on his considerable successes and make the most of his valuable connections, experience and wisdom. Moana Kutsche Eastsound

Thank you to OIEF and Valerie Anders On behalf of the Paula Towne’s sixth grade class at Orcas Elementary School, we would like to thank OIEF and Valerie Anders for their generous donations to help support the annual field study experience this fall to the Olympic Peninsula’s NatureBridge (formerly Olympic Park Institute). NatureBridge is rated first in the country for science field learning for children. Ms. Anders is a former chairwoman of NatureBridge. Together with class fundraising activity this summer, the donations have made the trip accessible to everyone. A week at NatureBridge is not only an amazing, enriching outdoor learning experience for the class, it is an important bonding time for the group as they learn and live together at our nearby stunning Olympic National Park. The annual “OPI” week feels like a rite of passage in the sixth grade, eagerly anticipated in elementary school and remembered fondly by upper level students. This wonder-

ful week long trip is often a child’s first significant time away from home. We are grateful for your donations to continue the tradition and help our children learn and build memories with their classmates and teacher. Thank you so much. Sarah Lyle Mother of Gabriel and Camryn Thompson

the flu vaccine is for everyone by San juan county HealtH Department

An annual flu vaccination is the best way to prevent the flu and the flu-related complications that could lead to hospitalization and even death. Health experts across the country recommend that everyone six months and older get a flu vaccine. This recommendation has been in place by the CDC since 2010. While influenza isn’t particularly dangerous for most people, it can cause severe illness and serious complications for anyone, regardless of whether or not they have high risk conditions. When a person coughs, infected droplets get into the air and another person can breathe them in. The virus can also be spread by hands infected with the virus. Seasonal flu is characterized by a high fever, dry cough, headache, muscle and joint pain, severe malaise, sore throat and runny nose. Most people recover from the flu within a week, but it can cause severe illness or death in those at high risk: children younger than age two, adults age 65 or older, people with cer-

tain medical conditions or weakened immune systems. Among healthy adults, influenza vaccine can prevent 70-90 percent of fluspecific illness. Among the elderly, the vaccine reduces severe illnesses and complications by up to 60 percent. Three things to do Dr. Frank James, San Juan County Health Department’s Health Officer, states, “First, get vaccinated. Almost everyone over six months of age

should get a flu shot. It will protect against several different strains of the flu that circulate in the fall and winter each year. Second, take action to prevent the spread of the flu. Avoid contact with those who are sick, stay home if you are sick until 24 hours after your fever is gone, cover your cough, and wash your hands frequently. Third, if you do get the flu, see your doctor, who may prescribe antivirals.”

Rainfall is to be expected in the Pacific Northwest. It’s the kind of rain that visited islanders last week that has local weather experts saying, “wow.” On Tuesday, Sept 24 at about 2 a.m. Marilyn and Don Myers were awoken as the rain violently pounded with unbelievable strength on their roof. Self-described as a weather geek she was eager to see exactly how much rain was falling. “Our rain gauge actually fell over,” said Marlyn. “That has never happened before.” They recorded an inch and half of rain in just an hour and a half at their property on Olga Road near the Lambiel Museum.

Marlyn estimates the rain occurred from about 2 to 3:30 a.m. Even more amazing is that in Eastsound there were more than two inches of rain recorded at several sites. The Templin Center businesses were flooded. On Terrell Beach road there were descriptions of two inches of hail. But in other areas of the island people were strangely unaware of the torrent of rain. Residents of the upper Highlands neighborhood said they slept through the night without noticing anything odd. Where a resident on the lower part of the Highlands neighborhood said he had not heard that much rain since his days living in Texas. On nearby Mt. Constitution, Michel Vekved of Friends of Moran, reported less than a quarter of an inch of rain. In Olga, weather expert John Willis said he only had a quarter of an inch of rain. “He couldn’t believe there was so much rain in Eastsound,” said Marilyn. On Killebrew Lake only a little over a half of an inch of rain was recorded. South of West Sound weather recorders found only a little over a quarter of an inch of rain, which was the amount also reported for Waldron and San Juan Island. On the southend of Lopez there was less than a tenth of an inch of rain. According to weather

records kept by the Willis family the last time that much rain was reported on Orcas was for the entire day not just an hour and that was in 1985 when the island had 2.32 inches. Willis can’t recall in all his years of collecting weather data any time that rain dumped on the island like last Tuesday. “The rain cell didn’t move, it came from the southeast and just sat over us,” said Marlyn. She added that the rainshadow only works when rain is coming from the southwest causing the rain to fall on the other side of the Olympic Mountains. Typically the rainshadow helps islanders stay drier because the Olympic Mountains act as a wall that protects the northeastern Olympic Peninsula and San Juan Islands from the bulk of the rain that moves into the Pacific Northwest. The fact that this recent rain came more from the southeast helped it creep in. Marlyn said there was one more interesting phenomenon that night. “One loud crack of thunder was reported at Rosario,” said Marlyn, who lives near that area. “We didn’t hear it, but it may have been because it was raining so hard we couldn’t hear it.” There are some things in weather, she said, that you’ll just never find the answer to.

OWLS FROM 1 ulation ever existed. According to Lopezbased Biologist Russel Barsh native people cleared and cultivated a large portion of the islands about 2,000 years ago. Barsh added that when the first wave of settlers arrived in the 1850s they burned the older coniferous forests that spotted owls would have chose for nesting. Lewis agrees that when there were large area of virgin old-growth forests on the island it is likely that spotted owls dwelled and thrived here. Middleton, who has lived on Orcas since 2006 and has participated each year in the Audubon Christmas Bird Count, concurs with Barsh and Lewis that spotted owls are closely linked to old growth. “We do have old growth on the islands, but that section of forest on the island is small,” she said. She also added that spotted owls rely heavily on flying squirrels for food. More evidence to suggest the unlikely possibility of having a significant population of spotted owls is in the Audubon Christmas Count database where there are no statistics in the last 100 years to suggest that the species has lived on the

islands. According to the database, barred owls were not reported to be seen in the islands until 2007, meaning that it was almost impossible that the two species interacted, proving that barreds are not responsible for the lack of spotted owls in the San Juan Islands.

Barred owls As barred owls are removed from the Pacific Northwest by wildlife officials in order to help boost the spotted owl population, should we be concerned over the barred owl moving in on animals indigenous to the island? Middleton said that whenever you introduce a new predator to an ecosystem change will occur. “When there are more predators the balance between predators may shift,” she said. It is possible that the barred could kill and compete with smaller owls, Middleton added. Some islanders speculate that they have seen areas with barred owls where great horned owls used to live. “I believe they are displacing great horned owls from former nesting sites, but that they will easily co-exist as they do in the Eastern U.S., said Lewis. There is no data currently that can confirm these speculations. In contrast to what may be happening on the island, according to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in the Pacific Northwest the great horned owl is the most serious predatory threat to the barred owl. She said when it comes to predators, their populations always fluctuate depending on food sources. According to the Audubon Christmas Count, two barred owls were reported in 2007 compared to the four counted last year. As the rodent population increases, the barred owl population will rise, said Middleton and when the rabbit population rises so will great-horned owls. These changes and the fact that the barred found its way across the rocky mountains to an entirely new habitat do not ruffle her feathers. She describes herself as a biologist that does not get wigged out by change. “It’s way cool that people can see these predators. We’re getting to see evolution and migration changes in our lifetime,” said Middleton. “Nature is always moving and we are getting to see it.”

Vikings bring home victories by MARTY ZIER Sports contributor

Football The Vikings football (2-2) team made late fourth quarter adjustments to win 12-8 in a league battle against Tacoma Baptist (0-3) Saturday under buckets of rain and menacing wind on Sept. 28. Down 8-0 a majority of the game, the Vikings gave up a few pass plays in the first half as Crusader quarterback Morgan Wood defied the pouring rain and collected a touchdown and a two-point conversion. Both team’s offenses struggled with slippery conditions as dropped passes and fumbles hindered any rhythm during the rest of the first half. The third quarter became a defensive standoff as both offenses failed to adjust to the weather. Hard hitting from Viking linebackers Joey Susol and Pasha Bullock rattled the Crusader running game while the rain handled the passing game.

Late in the fourth quarter, Viking coach Scott Harris made the critical adjustment and moved tackle #54 Jay Zier to fullback, and combined with runs from quarterback Demitri Pence, moved the ball to the one yard line when Pence pushed behind center Mackey Cardinell for the quarterback keeper. After a failed two-point conversion, the Vikings trailed 8-6 with five minutes left on the play clock. Viking kicker Jack Russillo nailed the ensuing kickoff deep into Crusader territory, leaving horrible field position for Wood to run his offense. He launched a deep pass from the first play from scrimmage only to be intercepted by Pence, placing the Vikings on the Crusader 35-yard line with four minutes and ten seconds on the clock. With the Viking offensive line pumped up and blocking well, Zier took control of the running game and plowed 11 yards straight up the middle of the Crusader

defense to score the winning touchdown. The twopoint conversion failed, making the score 12-8. With 45 seconds left, Wood fired a final pass down field but was picked off by defensive back Daniel O’Brien, sealing the Viking victory.

Volleyball The Vikings girls volleyball team escaped with a victory against the Concrete Lions after winning three straight games Thursday. Coach Greg Sasan said the team played “ugly” in a match that overall Sasan said the Vikings played poorly and were out-hustled despite winning all three games 25-23, 25-23, and 25-17. He said team maturity shifted the advantage to the Vikings over a young Concrete squad.

Girls soccer The Viking girls soccer (1-2) team traveled to Concrete (0-4) last Thursday for their first

league win against the Lions 5-1. Coming off two losses, the hungry young Viking team kept a majority of the initial play pressuring the Lion defense resulting in a 15-yard shot by Diansa Anuenue to the right corner of the net with 11:54 remaining in the first half. With Viking forwards and midfielders applying constant pressure, Matia Schwartz capitalized knocking in a loose ball to make the score 3-0 before half. Fast moving Viking forward Adia Dolan ripped a shot shortly after the start of the second half continuing the offensive push against the equally young Concrete team. The Lions took advantage of the absence of Viking senior Shelbi Rogers halfway through the second quarter to get on the board

Forward Jo Gudgell added the final shot for the Vikings, securing moral victory for the young team. “It’s not all about winning, but this is good for the players, they have worked very hard,” said Coach Chama Anderson.

The Vikings boys soccer team traveled to Cedar Park Christian picking

up a win 5-1 on Sept. 24. Good midfield play and a strong offensive display guided the Vikings to their second league win of the season. Sophomore Wylie Kau scored the only goal of the first half on a wellplaced shot to the corner. The Vikings ran away with it in the second half, scoring four more goals.

Picking up from last fall's storyline, Zorg saved everyone by getting them on a rocket ship, but he was left behind. The spacecraft landed on a cloud and after months of not getting the machine back up and running, Carmen and Dr. Livingston open a nightclub. Their plans are interrupted by Durga Durga, a villainess trailed by loyal minions. Their tale of adventure and intrigue is portrayed by dance numbers, singing and a lot of craziness.

Donna Laslo and more. “My character and I have grown fond of each other,” McCune said. “It's fun to play a totally over the top character and let it all hang out. It is so nonsensical and fun. I love being able to express that way. This character helped me find that I have a comedic bone in me." Sparks describes the sets and costumes as “1960s Vegas and Rat Pack meets pop art and Pucci.” Sarah Mikolowsky and Amanda Sparks are designing the costumes, Chris Brems is creating the sets and Ani Sparks is doing the place settings for the cocktail tables. Laura Ludwig has choreographed a dance number for the men in the production. Doron Gazit of Air Dimensional Design in Los Angeles is lending five of his inflatable creations for the show. “They are beautiful shapes that look like amoebas,” Sparks said. “He has been so generous. I am very excited about getting the pieces.” This show marks the last run of Enchanted Forest Cabaret. The cast is sad to say farewell but has enjoyed every minute of their time together. “This is by far my most favorite theatrical show of all the shows I have done,” McCune said. “Sometimes you just have to not take life so seriously. It has brought a lot of joy to me and my fellow actors.”

NOTICE AND SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON FOR SAN JUAN COUNTY SAN JUAN COUNTY, a duly organized County of the State of Washington, Plaintiff vs. John R Messinger and each and every lot, tract or parcel of real property herein described; and each and every person herein named as owner of said property; or any part thereof, and each and every person having or claiming to have any right, title, lien or interest in, or upon, said real property, or any part thereof by, through or under said named owner, or owners, and all persons unknown, if any, having or claiming to have any right, title, lien or interest or estate in, to, or upon, said real property, or any part thereof. Defendants. CAUSE NO 13 2 05173 8 THE STATE OF WASHINGTON TO THE SAID DEFENDANTS: 1. A lawsuit has been started against the property which you own or in which you may have an interest, described herein, to foreclose the real property tax lien of San Juan County. 2. San Juan County is the owner and holder of Certificate of Delinquency No.13 2 05173 8, amended September 4, 2013, issued as shown on Exhibit A hereto, for delinquent real property taxes for 2009 through 2013 or prior years, interest, penalties, and foreclosure costs owed on the real property described herein as of September 4, 2013 3. In order to defend against this foreclosure lawsuit, you must: a) Appear and defend this action by answering this Notice and Summons in writing within thirty (30) days after the date of first publication of this Notice and Summons, exclusive of the date of first publication. Your answer must be in writing and must specify the particular cause of objection to foreclosure; or, b) In the alternative to filing an answer, you must pay the amount due for taxes, interest, penalties and foreclosure costs. 4. If you wish to seek the advice of an attorney in this matter, you should do so promptly so that your written answer, if any, may be served on time. 5. San Juan County will apply to the San Juan County Superior Court for a judgment foreclosing its lien for taxes and an order to sell the property against which judgment is rendered. If you fail to answer or pay the amount due, judgment will be entered against the property without notice, foreclosing the lien for taxes, interest, penalties and foreclosure costs against the land and premises described therein. The judgment would be against the property and not a personal judgment against you. 6. If judgment is rendered against the property, it will be ordered to be sold at public auction. The property against which judgment is rendered will be sold unless redeemed prior to the close of business December 17, 2013, the last business day before the day of sale. The sale is scheduled and will be by public auction on County Courthouse at 350 Court Street, in Friday Harbor, Washington. The sale may be continued from time to time and place to place. 7. The property may be redeemed from foreclosure, and sale of the property avoided, by paying all delinquent taxes, interest, penalties and

foreclosure costs before the close of business December 17, 2013, the last business day before the public auction. The payment must be by cash, cashier’s check or money order payable to the San Juan County Treasurer. Foreclosure costs are estimated to be $2,325.00 plus approximately $400.00 for the cost of a title search for each parcel of real property having a separate tax account number. 8. There is no right of redemption on the day of or after the public auction. If you do not redeem the property from foreclosure and are the record owner of the property on the day of issuance of the Certificate of Delinquency, then you are entitled to any sale proceeds which exceed the taxes, interest, penalties, foreclosure costs and outstanding local improvement assessments. 9. Interest accrues at the rate of 12% per year. Pursuant to RCW 84.56.020, a penalty of 3% of the full year 2013 amount of tax unpaid was assessed June 1, 2013 and a penalty of 8% of the full year 2013 amount of tax unpaid will be assessed on December 1, 2013, if the property is not redeemed by then. 10. Exemption for elderly and disabled: This action will not be continued against your property if you are eligible for deferral of taxes (RCW Chapter 84.38) due to age or disability, and you file a declaration to defer taxes in accordance with the requirements of the chapter. The Assessor’s Office can assist you in filing the declaration. 11. You may obtain further information regarding the matters set forth above, including the total amount of delinquent taxes, interest, penalties, and foreclosure costs payable at the time of redemption, and a full, unabbreviated legal description of this property, by contacting the San Juan County Treasurer, 350 Court Street, P.O. Box 639, Friday Harbor, Wa. 98250; telephone 360/378-2171 ext 7463; or email: treasurer@sanjuanco.com Attn: Foreclosure Deputy.
