Big win for new Rec levy
Lawsuit aims at Growlers
Voters endorse Island Rec levy in a landslide, nearly 70 percent
By Janis Reid
Whidbey News-Times Staff Reporter
By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
By the end of the week the margin of victory had only gotten wider. Voters on San Juan Island gave their park and recreation district and high school sports program a decisive embrace, approving a new six-year property tax levy that’s more than twice what it is today by a whopping 69 percent. A total of 2,691 ballots were counted in the early results of the April 28 election, an initial turnout of 47 percent. By the end of the week, the turnout rose to 52 percent and the margin of approval had risen by another percentage point. In the end, 2,073 voters favored Island Rec’s levy request, more than double the 915 ballots cast against it. A handful of ballots will be counted May 11 and the election certified May 12. Results of the election were greeted with a collective sigh of relief at the headquarters of Island Rec, which needed a 60 percent or better margin of approval. “We couldn’t be happier,” Island Rec Commission Chairman Bill Cumming said. “We’re very appreciative with what happened with the voters and with their support for our activities, and delighted and very happy that all our hard work and the hard work of the campaign committee paid off.” See LEVY, Page 2

Derailed by disaster at home
A citizens’ group that filed a lawsuit in 2013 has filed an additional action to force the Navy to stop flying the EA-18G Growlers over Coupeville. The Citizen’s of Ebey’s Reserve, or COER, filed a motion Monday in Federal Court asking a judge to rule that the aircraft be forced to stop using Outlying Field Coupeville until the Navy completes an Environmental Impact Statement. “The EIS isn’t going to be done until 2017,” said COER board member and attorney Ken Pickard Tuesday. “We’re being irreparably injured every time they fly. We’re not going to wait.” See GROWLERS, Page 4
Nepal hospital boss raises funds while struggling to get home By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
Skies were crystal clear and the sun shined bright late last week on San Juan Island. What might have been an ideal day-trip to Friday Harbor was anything but for Shyam Rupakheti and wife Bimala, who could do little else but worry about the disaster of unimaginable proportions that waited back home. “We’re worried about our family and worried about the hospital, and worried for the future of our country,” said Rupakheti, chief administrator of a hospital on the outskirts of Katmandu and the only orthopedic medical facility in the country of Nepal. “This earthquake has put us 50 years back from where we were.” Parents of two adult daughters and 12-year-

Obituaries Russell M. Thorson: 1923—2015
Russell M. Thorson died peacefully on April 22, 2015 in the loving care of family and friends. He was born on April 23, 1923 to Lena and Roy Thorson in rural Wadena County, Minn., and was the third of four children. The family later moved to Grand Rapids, Minn., and Russ continued on to Minneapolis and graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in sociology. It was here he met and married Mildred Elquist. After working in Chicago in social work and becoming involved in the pacifist movement during WWII, Russell and Mildred moved to Waldron Island in 1948 with their two young sons. Here they lived a rugged, simple, selfsufficient lifestyle and added four more boys to the growing family. Having exhausted the possibilities for livelihood on Waldron, the family moved to Bellingham and later to Russell Thorson, left, and May Tiberghien at a cider bee on Waldron circa 1950s. Seattle. Russ maintained his ties to Waldron and Bellingham until his death and always was a part of the social life and lore of those communities. In late life Russell resided at the Life Care Center in Friday Harbor where he was lovingly cared for by all the staff. Russell is preceded in death by his sister Oveda and brothers Ken and Leigh. He is survived by six sons, seven grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren. Russ will be memorialized in a simple family ceremony on Waldron. — Family of Russell Thorson

Adams reelected, Cornelius earns OPALCO board post Staff report
Incumbent Winnie Adams and former general manager Randy Cornelius outpaced the competition in the four-way race for two spots on the Orcas Power & Light Cooperative board of directors. The election generated the highest voter turnout to date for OPALCO, with a total of 2,758 co-op members casting ballots, a 24 percent rate of return. Election results were announced at the Co-op annual meeting, Saturday, May 2, onboard the inter-island ferry. Incumbent and board president Chris Thomerson and Ed Sutton, making a first-ever bid of a position on the board, were eclipsed by Cornelius and Adams. The positions inherited by Cornelius and retained by Adams represent the Co-op's District 2, which consists of Orcas, Blakely and Obstruction islands, as well smaller islands surrounding the three larger islands. Adams first joined the board in 2010 to fill an unexpired term of a retiring board member. She was elected to the board in 2012. Cornelius was co-op general manager from 2002 through 2014. He garnered 333 more votes than Thomerson, who finished third in the four-way race. As part of the annual meeting forum, OPALCO General Manager Foster Hildreth fielded and answered questions related to the newly approved and controversial rate structure adopted by the board and the recent acquisition of Rock Island Communications, a Friday Harbor-based internet service provider. Hildreth acknowledged 2015 will be a difficult year of transition and that rate increases will have an impact on all members of the Co-op. “I’m committed to assessing the needs of our most vul-

In addition, Hildreth noted that the acquisition of Rock Island by OPALCO is a cornerstone of his vision for a connected and vital community that includes "a healthy economy and environment, access to jobs, education, health care and emergency services." The election also included a proposed amendment to the Co-op bylaws, which called for notification by email to members of board of director meetings. The amendment was defeated by 133 votes, 1,324 against versus 1,191 in favor. Hildreth added that OPALCO is committed to keep-

The 2015 Nourdine Jensen Cooperative Youth Scholars were also announced. Students Ray Doss, Orcas Island, and Robby Mille, San Juan, were recognized at the meeting and the three other students, Seda Guckian (San Juan), Michaella Marebe Ibambasi (San Juan), and Anthony Kaskurs (Orcas) were taking SAT tests and unable to attend.

In Nepal, the death toll had climbed to more than 7,000 as Monday, May 4, another 14,000 were listed as injured. The earthquake reportedly claimed the lives of another 72 people in India and 25 in China. Capitol of Nepal, Katmandu is home to a million people, and another three million live in the greater Katmandu Valley. The hospital that Rupakheti manages, built with large support by Rotary Club International, is designed to be earthquake resistant and has remained one of the country’s few fully functioning medical facilities in the aftermath of the earthquake. In spite of its durability, the hospital parking lot became a makeshift treatment center as fear of numerous aftershocks kept people outdoors, Rupakheti said. Only late last week had patients and staff began venturing back into the building, and the number of people in need of care is staggering, he said.

cally,” the colleague said in one report. “Some patients were buried in rubble and rescued, some had loved ones die in front of them. Nepalese are very poor. They cannot afford surgery. We need financial help for treating them.” Built with financial support of Rotary, Nepal Orthopedic Hospital opened in 1998 and has become a self-sustaining enterprise that devotes 25 percent of its care to charity and serves roughly 40,500 patients a year. Miller and Rupakheti have been involved with the not-for-profit hospital since the beginning. Miller, a retired podiatrist, has made about a half-dozen medical mission to Nepal. Rupakheti was the hospital top accountant before taking over as chief administrator in 2008. Getting airline tickets to Nepal can be troublesome even in the best of times, Miller said, and the international airport in Katmandu has had to turn away some flights and its runway has shown signs of damage in the week since the earthquake struck. Rupakheti had hoped to be home by the weekend; Bimala planned to stay in Arkansas with family, in part to make travel plans easier for her husband, before returning home. He’ll have several bags of medical supplies and some muchneeded financial support from local Rotary clubs in tow, and Miller intends to continue the campaign. “It’s the only orthopedic hospital in Nepal and all of its 100 beds are full,” Miller said. “And 45 percent of the patients there right now are waiting for surgery.”

has to be done,” Bailey said. “OLF is uniquely set up in order to provide that kind of training.” Bailey said that, during his command during Desert Storm, the Navy exceeded 30,000 operations annually at OLF but has since brought that number down to 6,120 annually in 2005. The Navy exceeded this operational cap in 2011-13, however. “The Navy has been a good partner and a good citizen over the years, and the idea that the Navy See GROWLERS, Page 5

Historical Park generates $15M in ‘14 How much does San Juan Island's National Historical Park contribute to the local economy? In 2014, it was $15 million, and some change. So says a new National Park Service report that shows 268,946 people visited San Juan Island National Historical Park in 2014 and that together they spent $15,083,000 in communities near the park. That spending help to support 204 jobs in the local area and had a cumulative benefit to the local economy of $19-plus million. “English Camp and American Camp are key attractions on San Juan Island and welcome visitors from across the country and around the world,” said Superintendent Lee Taylor said in a press release about the report. “We are delighted to be a part of the vibrant experiences the island offers and to share the story of this place.”

In a press release Monday, COER responded to Navy “personnel and retirees who have frequently called those affected citizens unpatriotic.” “It’s quite the opposite,” Pickard said. “We all care deeply.” In recent years, COER has expanded its original mission to close OLF and has stated its larger goal is to get the Growler removed from the Pacific Northwest. Pickard said Monday’s motion was simply one of many fronts on which the group is fighting. “We think the Growler is a very poor fit for Northwest Washington,” Pickard said. “It’s one of the many things we’re doing. And it’s a major one. It’s what got our group started.” In its motion, COER claims the jet noise is damaging the physical and mental health of those working and

The report, based on a peer-reviewed visitor spending analysis conducted by a team of economists from the U.S. Geological Survey and National Park Service, shows direct spending nationwide of $15.7 billion by 292.8 million park visitors in communities within 60 miles of a national park. This spending supported 277,000 jobs nationally; 235,600 of those jobs are found in these so-called "gateway communities." The cumulative benefit to the U.S. economy was $29.7 billion, according to the report. On San Juan Island, nearly 58,000 visitors crossed the thresholds of the Historical Park's visitor centers in 2014, according to Mike Vouri, the park's chief of interpretation and visitor services. Although the 2014 number falls slightly short of the record-setting number of 60,000 the year before, visits to the American Camp visitor center—

The anti-noise group has also collected a number of first-person “declarations” on its website from people who describe the jets’ effects. “We are extremely disappointed with our elected officials who won’t speak out on behalf of those they purport to represent,” said COER board member Maryon Attwood. “Congressman Rick Larsen, who takes credit for bringing the Growlers to Whidbey Island, supports the Navy’s use of the OLF even though he admits to never having heard the Growler noise experienced by the community.”

"The vast majority of income increases in the last few years have gone to top earners, while low and middle-class workers’ wages have stagnated.

OPINION Letters to the Editor
Broadband in the ‘hood? Beware
Usually, I rave. Today, I rant… my first. We, under pressure, agreed to connect with broadband. Our beautiful, calm, rural neighborhood is a physical mess, and we are constantly getting the existing telephone and computer lines cut… every other day. The workers are young and unsupervised. We are worried about our water lines, next. This isn’t fun. I want to move to a yurt. If broadband is supposed to work we need capable, responsible, accountable humans making it possible FRANCIE HANSEN San Juan Island
Grateful for help with ‘Greeting’
Wow! Not only was The Whale Museum’s 9th annual “Greeting Ceremony” event a lot of fun, it raised much needed funds for our exhibits and facility. Our heartfelt thanks are expressed to everyone who helped make this such a successful event. Our deep appreciation goes to our committee who worked tirelessly to get the word out and coordinate the event held at the beautiful Brickworks. The food and drink were delicious, thanks to Market Chef, Northwest Totem Cellars, Island Hoppin’ Brewery, and San Juan Roasters, as well as the dessert creators, including
Shona Aitken, Bakery San Juan, Mary Jo Farrer, Elli Gull, Julie Hanks, Market Chef, Mike’s Café & Wine Bar, Sandy May, and Patti Wickham. The auction items were amazing, contributed by individuals as well as many businesses on-island and from farther away. Please check out the full list printed on our website (http:// whalemuseum.org/pages/ thank-you). We cannot thank them enough for contributing items that were so enticing to our attendees. Our emcee and auctioneer Duncan Wilson did a wonderful job leading us through the evening. We had great event sponsors—thanks to Islanders Insurance, Islanders Bank, Petro San Juan, Coldwell Banker-SJI, and Ed & Clare Kelm. And the volunteers and Museum staff were amazing—more than 20 people were on-hand to decorate, run the event and clean up, including the wonderful student chefs from Friday Harbor High’s Food For Thought Program. Thanks to everyone who attended and supported our 9th annual “Greeting Ceremony” fundraiser. Because of you, we raised just over $18,000 to further The Whale Museum’s mission of promoting stewardship of whales and the Salish Sea ecosystem through education and research. Thank you.

United Way of San Juan County is an amazingly, helpful organization that supports many needed programs on our islands that would otherwise go unfunded. Primary Intervention Program (PIP), also known as the Special Pal Program, is one of the programs supported by United Way. This program is based out of Friday Harbor Elementary School and is designed to help each student have the most successful learning experience possible by encouraging healthy selfimage and positive social skills. PIP staff and trained volunteers help students in the primary grades with these goals. So far this year, over 50 students have participated in the program. This school program would not be possible without the significant financial support from United Way. During a time when state funding for education and other services has been inconsistent, United Way has stepped in to save many essential and deserving programs, like PIP. I encourage the community to continue its support of United Way. Thank you. AMARA ZEE & TERESA TILTON PIP Coordinators

Dispatches from the Bureau
D
o you like to travel? Where do you like to travel? Well, for thousands of people, the San Juan Islands are their destination of choice and these visitors spent $193.2 million last year in San Juan County, a significant spending increase of 12.1 percent from 2013, according to the recently released Travel Impacts & Visitor Volume report prepared for the Washington Tourism Alliance by Dean Runyan Associates. National Travel & Tourism Week, May 2 – 10, champions the power of travel to not only benefit the traveler but also enhance the locations visited. Look around you. What would the islands be without performing Barbara arts centers, museums and gorMarrett geous galleries? Without a plethoSJI Visitors Bureau ra of parks and open spaces? Many of the places islanders cherish are present, in part, due to their shared appeal to visitors. Visitor dollars help support the cultural vibrancy of destinations like the San Juan Islands by creating jobs; direct visitor sector jobs represented 18.3 percent of total employment in 2013 and increased 2 percent in 2014. Visitor dollars also relieve the tax burden on locals by contributing funds towards town and county projects. In fact, the visitor share of taxable sales in San Juan was 34.4 percent in 2014. The San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau is the county’s official destination marketing organization representing over 300 island businesses and supporting the promotion of local history, arts, agriculture, outdoor recreation and visitor education. Mostly funded by lodging tax paid by the visitor, it also receives business membership dues. The Bureau’s job is to entice visitors through advertising campaigns, maintaining a robust website and social media programs, and actively soliciting travel stories and media coverage. Our umbrella promotions throughout the year extend the Islands’ allure to visitors in the quiet season. Visitors do create impacts which can be challenging. The next time you think to yourself, I wish we had the islands to ourselves, remember how visitor financial support enhances island life year-round for locals and how much you enjoy yourself on your own vacation.

As I See It
Identity elusive for home of art? Gallery or museum? At a crossroad, IMA should decide what it is By Lee Brooks
Special to the Journal
A
spiring to become a museum is a lofty goal. The effort conjures images of permanence and trust. The public depends on these institutions to preserve objects for study, discussion and exhibit so future generations can appreciate and learn from their collection. As one who has contributed in the past, IMA’s decision to simply remove their primary goal of becoming a museum from their mission statement has left me dazed and confused. Many of us expected a real museum. What happened? When asked why they abandoned their primary mission to: “Develop and operate an accreditation-eligible visual arts museum in Friday Harbor serving the San Juan Islands,” one IMA board member exclaimed “We will never become an accredited museum.” This statement makes it clear they are not a museum, for the moment at least. What are they then? A space that displays and sells art is called an art gallery. Are they going to settle for just this? The Burke Museum began as a small building at the University of Washington some of us passed by every morning on the way to class. It was a very non-assuming structure with humble beginnings. Who knew they housed a vast collection Lee Brooks in the basement? Bill Holm became a legend in part as a result of his association with the Burke. The museum is currently promoting Shaun Peterson as he now creates Coast Salish art in a world that almost forgot about his people. The Burke museum believes in the basics of building collections and mounting serious exhibitions. Their firm

adherence to their mission resulted in a surprise announcement over the winter. They are tearing the place down. Plans are to build a new museum in the large parking lot next door and transform the current site into the new parking lot. This upcoming building is an acknowledgement from many donors in appreciation of the Burke’s contribution to the study of Northwest Coast art. The vacant property next to the new building here in Friday Harbor holds a very similar possibility. IMA is at a crossroad this moment and needs to make some decisions. They can continue as an art center or actually commit to becoming a museum. Either road is possible, but they must now make a choice. There is a new director on the horizon. An actual art museum is within grasp. Their current contributions to the community are commendable. Will they be up to the challenge of the responsibility required to obtain their original stated goal? — Editor’s note: Fourth-generation Washingtonian and 43-year resident of San Juan Island, Lee Brooks is owner of Friday Harbor's Arctic Raven Gallery, which marks 20 years in business on San Juan Island in June.

OBITUARIES
8 — Wednesday, May 6, 2015
Charles L. Anderson: 1930—2015 Charles L. Anderson was born in Seattle on Sept. 13, 1930 and was welcomed into glory on April 22, 2015. He grew up in the Fremont area, the youngest of five children born to Charles W. and Ruth Anderson. The family moved to Friday Harbor in 1944 when “Charlie” was 13 years old. He graduated from Friday Harbor High School in 1948 and headed off to college at the UW, where he rowed on the Freshman Eight crew team. After his freshman year, he transferred to Western in Bellingham, where he met Barbara Lange. He graduated in 1952 with a degree in economics, and then went back to the UW to start work on a degree in accounting. Barbara and Chuck married in August of 1953. Six weeks later, he received a draft notice from the U.S. Army and the newlyweds were stationed in New York City. As soon as he was discharged, they headed back home to Washington to raise a family. The couple moved to Camano Island in
1979. Chuck’s beloved wife, Barbara, passed away in 2012 and son, Dave, joined her in heaven in 2013. Those left to follow are sister Miriam Ewing in Ferndale, daughter Becky Barton (Joel) in Edmonds, daughter Linda Aruffo in Switzerland, and son Paul (Marie) in Anacortes. Chuck was very proud of his seven grandkids: Heather & Peter Aruffo, Ben (Laura), Kate and Jenna Anderson, and Sarah and Anna Barton. Chuck had an interesting and varied career. In 1956, he started work at Haskins & Sells as a junior auditor/CPA. He moved on to Tally Corporation in 1960, serving as controller for six years. He was very interested in new technology, so left Tally to work for Physio Control (as the number 10 employee). Chuck co-founded Teltone Corporation in 1968 and served as president from 1970-1981. He was not the type of CEO to stay behind a desk and regularly walked around the plant greeting each employee by name. He continued on

In the 1970s, Chuck began serving on various corporate boards. He took that role seriously and gained a reputation for honesty, integrity and hard work. He eventually transitioned into serving on the boards of local Christian organizations, including CRISTA Ministries (for over 20 years) and the Stewardship Foundation (14 years). Chuck also had a long relationship with Seattle Pacific University. He started out on the advisory committee for the School of Business. In 1980, he was invited to join the board of trustees, where he served for the next 16 years. Chuck enjoyed spending time on campus and talking with the students. He was a current board member of the Seattle Pacific Foundation and had been since 1992. His most important legacy, however, was having three children and five grandchildren attend SPU (plus a daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law). Chuck loved being with his family, especially participating in outdoor activities. He enjoyed gardening, boating, splitting wood, and spending time at the family cabin on Shaw Island. But his favorite activity was walking on the beach with Barbara, picking up agates and beach glass along the way.
As a teenage boy in Friday Harbor, he took daily walks on the beach with his dog, and in his later years he returned to this daily routine with a driftwood walking stick in hand. Chuck had a real passion for Christian philanthropy. He and Barbara started the Anderson Family Foundation in 1974. He loved meeting people and made it a priority to maintain relationships with numerous ministries working for the cause of Christ, both locally and around the world. Chuck’s personal faith in Jesus Christ deepened throughout his life. He attended Bible Study Fellowship for many years, and enjoyed participating in the community life of Warm Beach Free Methodist Church. Charles Anderson was many things to many people: husband, dad, grandpa, mentor, friend, encourager… and his life intersected with countless numbers of people during his 84 years. He (and his sense of humor) will be greatly missed. “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:21) A memorial service to honor Chuck’s life will be held at 1 p.m. on Thursday, June 18, at the Warm Beach Free Methodist Church (20815 Marine Drive, Stanwood). In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Bible Study Fellowship. — Family of Charles Anderson

ational Historic Preservation Month in the San Juan Islands is all about breathing a little life back into history during the month of May. Events in store include guided walking tours, local history talks and other special events that portray the past as longtime islanders lived and remember it. And, a ghost or two may even be encountered in a hallway or cemetery along the way. On May 9, on San Juan Island, local historian Robin Jacobson will lead a biographical tour of Roche Harbor’s pioneer cemetery, founded in 1887. The tour will make the life stories of those buried there come alive. Once the largest lime works in the Pacific Northwest, Roche Harbor Resort’s property is akin to an open-air museum; formal gardens, historic buildings, kilns and mausoleum are explained through engaging interpretive panels. The Resort’s circa 1886 Hotel de Haro is on the National Register of Historic Places and continues to lodge visitors. On May 16 and May 24, join a guided walking tour of Friday Harbor, home to more than 150 historic sites within its walkable one-mile radius. Twenty-six of these are described in the "Historic Friday Harbor on Foot
Tour.” On May 30, walk in the footsteps of General George Pickett of Civil War fame, as the San Juan Island National Historical Park opens its Officers Quarters for the first time after its year-long restoration. Pickett was posted at the American Camp garrison during the “Pig War” crisis, a territorial dispute between the Americans and British lasting from 1859-1872, in which the only casualty was a pig. Park entrance is always free. Opening May 23, Orcas Island Historical Museum will present a lecture series and exhibit, “The Smugglers’ Blues” – The Illicit, Illegal and Immoral on the Salish Sea.” The lecture and exhibit explore both lawmen and the law breakers; who smuggled what where, and why. From wool to opium, whiskey to Chinese immigrants, the San Juans have been a crossroads for those willing to risk it all for illegal profits. Tour the museum and learn the history of Robert Moran’s Mansion at Rosario Resort through a multimedia presentation. Listen to ghost stories and Phantom of the Opera music performed on the 1,972 pipe Aeolian organ accompany clips from the original Phantom film. Complimentary and open to the public, the show is performed daily in summer (except Sundays) and every Saturday during the rest of the year. On Lopez Island, May 13-21, “Quilts as Carriers of Community and Women’s History” an exhibit of Lopez community quilts, beginning with 1880s era quilts, will be on display at the Lopez Historical Museum.

Hear award-winning local author and biologist Thor Hanson speak about his newly released book, “The Triumph of Seeds”, at a free event co-sponsored by Griffin Bay Bookstore and San Juan Preservation Trust, May 22 at the Friday Harbor Grange Hall, beginning at 7 p.m. In “Seeds,” Hanson transports the reader around the globe, from Central American rainforests to the spice-trade routes of India, as part of an exploration of the natural and the cultural history of seeds. Hanson is the author of the critically acclaimed “Feathers: The Evolution of a Natural Miracle,” which earned him what many consider the most prestigious nature-writing honor in the U.S. in 2013, the John Burroughs Medal. A biologist by training and inspired by the need for more science-based writing, Hanson, a former land steward with the San Juan County Land Bank, is also author of The Impenetrable Forest: My Gorilla Years in Uganda,” and his writings appear in a wide range of newspapers and magazines, from Audubon to The Los Angeles Times. Following the May 22 presentation, which includes a Q&A session, refreshments will be available and Hanson will be signing books. A portion of proceeds from the evening will benefit the San Juan Preservation Trust’s Campaign to Save Mount Grant, a 141-acre ridge property on San Juan Island that, should the fundraising campaign succeeds, will provide a scenic, accessible nature preserve for all. Thor Hanson Hanson is a trustee on the board of the San Juan Preservation Trust board of trustees and co-chairperson of the Campaign to Save Mount Grant. He lives on San Juan Island with his wife, Eliza, and son, Noah. Real Estate for Sale Other Areas

Inspiration Norway Where does one find inspiration for a new, novel set of greeting cards? If you’re Rebecca Cook, you find it in Scandinavia, Norway and Sweden in particular. The San Juan Island artist features colorful and charming renditions of the traditional Norwegian elves known as The Nisser (that's plural; it's Nisse in the singular) in her latest line of artistic cards. The Nisser typically wear tall, red pointed hats and have long, shaggy beards, and they are known to be playful and full of tricks. They are thought to frequent farms and have a soft spot for traditional large barns. A graduate of the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, Cook, a former Journal employee and graphic designer for 30 years, is currently working on an original children's picture book entitled "Calvin Splinter and His Splendid Splinter Ideas," as well as a novel set on Orcas Island, "Going Out the IN Road." Cook's Nisser cards are available for purchase at Friday Harbor's Island Studios and at the Cottage Gift Shop at Orcas Landing. You can place an order online as well, at www.messageartdesign.com

In a essay submitted to the town as part of its nomination, Gabriel talks about her love of Friday Harbor and how islanders stand up for what they believe. “We are very proud of Isabel and her accomplishments," Mayor Carrie Lacher said.
