Spring Street building begins
Forum heats up Hospital Commissioner hopefuls debate the issues

The construction is now set to begin July 15 on the Spring Street Landing Commercial Building on Front Street. The Friday Harbor Port Commission awarded the project to Wellman and Zuck Construction for $5.375 million, the lowest bidder. San Juan Safaris, San Juan Excursions and Downriggers Restaurant will be renewing their occupancy of the building since it burned down Aug. 17, 2013. “We wanted to assure them that they could come back,” said Port of Friday Harbor Commissioner Greg Hertel. “So we passed a resolution that all those businesses there before the fire would get a chance to return.” Only one tenant decided not to return. The space will be filled by San Juan Island Whale and Wildlife Tours. The tour businesses will be on the first floor looking out at the port and towards the ferry, and Downriggers will be on the second floor with outside seating. There will also be a large public deck that faces the water, an addition from the last version of the landing. “There’s a huge public access that wasn’t there before,” Hertel said. He added that a sidewalk will connect the landing to the Port of Friday Harbor offices to allow for more foot traffic. According to Hertel, there was some concern amongst the commissioners about choosing Wellman and Zuck, a construction company from Bellingham, because of delays in other construction they’ve done on the island such as San Juan Island Museum of Art and Island Inn at 123 West.

The three candidates running for Public Hospital District Commissioner Position No. 2 answered questions from the public at a forum hosted by the San Juan Public Library on July 7. Ninety-five people attended, filling up the library’s community room. The forum, moderated by Scott Rasmussen, allowed audience members to submit questions about the candidate’s professional and personal qualifications. Questions also delved into religious, political and affiliate influences. When asked what sort of qualifications they would bring to the position, Dr. Michelle Loftus presented herself as knowledgeable about the medical field from her background as a veterinarian. Daniel Miller told the audience that he had raised money for cancer through Relay for Life, and had enthusiasm for the position. Barbara Sharp recalled her background as an attorney, saying that she has experience in analyzing data, critical thinking, and legal contracts. Two hot button topics touched on at different points were abortion and doctor assisted suicide. One question asked of the candidates, “Why is Peace Health getting public funds when they don’t honor all end of life and beginning of life directives?” Loftus answered that they do allow people to make their own decisions, Miller replied that he was staunchly against assisted suicide and Sharp pointed out that Peace Health has two conflict-

ing policies regarding end-of-life directives. She added that was something she wanted to work with the hospital to rectify. The audience asked about the high turnover rate of employees at Peace Island Medical Center, and what the candidates might do to stabilize practitioners. Loftus asked for the community to be patient, noting PIMC has only been here two and half years, and that: “Life happens, sometimes we need to take a break.” Miller said he would make sure that pay is competitive, and that working conditions were good. Sharp said that the board currently did not have control over hiring and firing, but she would like the board to have more control. She suggested revising contracts with practitioners to make them longer, instead of one year contracts. Loftus’ affiliation as chairwoman of the San Juan County Republicans in 2014 was questioned, asked if it would affect her judgement in this nonpartisan position. She replied it would not. Another audience member asked the candidates what it meant to them that Planned Parenthood endorsed Sharp, but did not endorse Miller or Loftus. Sharp replied that they provided vital community resources and that PIMC should be considering them as a partner in those services. Miller said that he is “pro life” and “that’s not an important question to me,” and Loftus replied that due to her “pro life” position, “it would be very inappropriate for me to have a Planned Parenthood endorsement.” See FORUM, Page 4
The Elwha ferry is out of service until further notice due to “necessary repairs to the vessel,” as of Friday, July 10, according to a Washington State Department of Transportation transit alert bulletin. Spokesperson for WSDOT Ferry Division Ian Sterling says the problem is a complicated electrical issue having to do with the drive motor, but replacement parts are on hand and repairs are being made in Eagle Harbor. Elwha ferry times were cancelled on Friday, with the inter-island ferry Klahowya and the 124-car ferry Chelan picking up the Elwha routes. Reservation holders were loaded on a first come-first serve basis, and were not charged with See ELWHA, Page 4

By Anna V. Smith Journal reporter
Orcas Island resident Peter William Sherman, 27, has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon in the second degree for an incident on July 4 in Eastsound, Orcas Island. Bail was set at $10,000. Sherman is awaiting a trial set for Sept. 21. Sherman allegedly pointed an Ithaca 20 gauge shotgun at three people after a verbal altercation with one of them. According to court
documents the gun was not loaded, but witnesses said they did not know that at the time. Witnesses also said Sherman told one man he was going to kill him. According to the responding officer’s report, Sherman admitted he pointed the gun at the three people. He added that he was consuming alcohol, stating he had not been thinking straight. Sherman initially called the San Juan County Sheriff ’s Office to report a trespassing complaint at

his home, saying he asked a guest to leave and he was not leaving. By the time the officers arrived at the scene the guest had left. Sherman told the officers things were fine as long as the guest did not talk to him. The guest was with two others in the driveway and became agitated at the officers, shouting expletives at them and refusing to identify himself. According to the report: “At one point he advanced on [us]. We each grabbed one of his arms and pinned him against the back of the minivan. We asked him to calm down.” The guest said he would, but when released he continued his aggression. “I could see there was no reasoning with [the guest]. He never gave
us a chance to talk with him.” The officers decided to leave to “diffuse the situation.” According to the officer’s report about five minutes later Sherman called dispatch to say he had a gun and had pointed it at the guest. The officers returned to the residence to find the guest walking down the driveway toward the patrol car yelling that “we were incompetent and worthless.” When asked, Sherman said to one of the officers that he was afraid the guest was going to assault him, and ran to get the unloaded gun from his room. According to witnesses, the guest and two witness-

es were standing together when Sherman pointed the unloaded gun at them and yelled at the guest “I am going to kill you!” One of the responding officers wrote that a witness told him, “Sherman is unpredictable with firearms when he has been drinking alcohol.” The witness could not remember a time when a similar incident had occurred with Sherman. The officer wrote that Sherman complied with the police and gave them permission to retrieve another rifle locked in his room. He apologized for how messy his room was. Assault with a deadly weapon in the second degree is a Class B felony for those without previous offenses.

Snow receives her masters
Early morning fire on Snowberry Lane
Hannah K. Snow, FHHS Class of 2010, received her Master of Science Degree on June 13, 2015 from Stanford University, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Her program was Environmental Fluid Mechanics and Hydrology, and she will pursue a career in Coastal Engineering. Hannah attended Friday Harbor public schools K-12, and we would like to thank all the teachers, principals, counselors, coaches, and mentors who helped her achieve her goals along the way.
Submitted by Sheila Harley Public Information Officer San Juan Island Fire and Rescue
Fifteen firefighters answered the call at 2:45 a.m. on Monday, July 13 to Snowberry Lane. Fifteen minutes after the call went out from dispatch, the first engine was on scene reporting flames reaching into the trees from two small out buildings.
The flames were soon knocked down but the smoke from the buildings continued rising for several hours as the fire crews continued to pour water on the scene. The cause of the fire is under investigation. If it had been hot and dry as in days past, the firefighters’ jobs would have been more difficult, but last night’s rain was helpful in keeping the surrounding woods damp.
Author talk on what ‘Connecting on Climate’ Orcas can teach us Come to The Whale Museum on Wednesday, July 22, at 5:30 p.m. for an author talk and book signing with David Neiwert, author of the newly released book “Of Orcas and Men: What Killer Whales Can Teach Us.” Neiwert explores an extraordinary species and its occasionally fraught relationship with human beings. Beginning with their role in myth and contemporary popular culture, Neiwert shows how killer whales came to capture our imaginations, and brings to life the often catastrophic environmental consequences of that appeal. Neiwert is an investigative journalist based in Seattle. He is the author of many books, including “And Hell Followed With Her: Crossing the Dark Side of the American Border and “Strawberry Days: How Internment Destroyed a Japanese American Community.” His reportage for MSNBC.com on domestic terrorism won the National Press Club Award for Distinguished Online Journalism in 2000. He is also a contributing writer for the Southern Poverty Law Center. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, call (360) 378-4710 ext. 30. The Whale Museum is located in Friday Harbor at 62 First St. N. Founded in 1976, The Whale Museum’s mission is to promote stewardship of whales through education and research. The Whale Museum can be found on-line at www.whalemuseum.org.
Churches raise money for food bank
Bill Waxman, Senior Warden at St. David’s Episcopal Church, and Madelyn Busse, President of the Congregational Council of the Lutheran Church in the San Juans, presented a check to Pat Vannest and Mark Schwinge, Board Members of the Friday Harbor Food Bank, on July 8. The two church congregations held a Father’s Day Fund Drive for the food bank on June 21, and collected just over $1,400. Together, the Episcopal and Lutheran congregation have formed a Food Bank Support Group that conducts two or three fund raising events within their congregations each year.

San Juan Island National Historical Park is offering “Connecting on Climate,” a workshop for San Juan educators, on Monday and Tuesday, August 3-4, 2015. This workshop aims to engage educators in communicating with the public on climate change, as well as understanding both the regional impacts of climate change and the public psychology surrounding it. Participants can expect to learn about regional challenges caused by these changes, and how to help the public bring about solutions on a local level. The workshop will be an open dialogue between participants and presenters, so active participation will be encouraged. There is no cost for this two-day program, which includes National Park Service speakers and a group kayak tour of the west side of San Juan Island. Land sessions will be held on the NPS Westcott Bay property, and the paddle will be guided by Outdoor Odysseys. No previous paddling experience is required, and all equipment will be provided. There is no lodging for
the workshop, but lunch will be provided both days. Participants should expect to complete a community action project of their own design after the conclusion of the workshop.
A stipend of $200 will be available. For more information or to register, contact Raena Parsons by email at Raena_Parsons@nps.gov and by phone at 378-2240 ext. 2222.

Long lasting impacts on nesting birds on Goose Island uncertain By Anna V. Smith Journal reporter
The fire on Goose Island has damaged bird populations, though it’s too early to tell how much and if the birds will bounce back, according to Phil Green, Goose Island steward for the Nature Conservancy. The fire is still smoldering, and Green boated out to the island July 8 to check on the birds, though he did not go on the island because 50 harbor seals took up the landing beach. Green noted in an email that, “The pelagic cormorant colony appears intact, there are dozens of glaucous-winged gull chicks, and many more glaucouswinged gulls are sitting on nests. The bad news is that the double-crested cormo-
“All in all I find it to be very positive, given the situation,” Phil Green, Goose Island steward rant colony was abandoned except for one nest. All-inall I find this very positive given the situation.” Green said that the double-crested cormorants had been “hanging tough” when the fire was still active and that their nests did survive the worst, but they still left, potentially due to the human interaction. Green says that human presence can have a considerable impact, citing a study on Colville Island, off the south
end of Lopez Island. The study found that egg mortality did not increase with human presence but chick mortality did, as adults took flight to avoid humans and chicks fleeing nests were attacked by neighboring adults. During Green’s visit to the island last Wednesday, he noticed gulls back on burnt nests, suggesting they may try a replacement clutch to replace eggs that were lost. Madrona Murphy, botanist at the Lopez-based laboratory Kwiáht, said in her review of scientific literature she found that later-season nesting and high chick mortality seem to be correlated. Murphy has studied other islands in the San Juans though not Goose Island itself, which is owned and

managed by the Nature Conservancy. She has looked at how Coast Salish people used fire to lightly burn and maintain open landscapes. Those fires promoted growth and kept prairies open, but are unlike the recent fire on Goose Island. “From my review, I’m not convinced that vegetation will be particularly rapid or positive, just from looking at the other small islands that we’ve studied,” Murphy said. “The fire on Goose Island was in no way comparable to traditional fire, which means I can’t predict what will happen.” Long-lasting hot fires can burn vegetation down to bare ground, which can introduce wind-blown invasive plants such as thistle, reducing organic matter and soil fertility and induce erosion, Murphy said. According to the Nature Conservancy’s management plan for Goose Island and Deadman’s Island, “The value of both islands lies in their lack of human disturbance and therefore makes them excellent habitats for ground nesting birds.”

Continued from page 1 “Sometimes the delays weren’t their fault, but we’ve told them we need to get this rolling,” Hertel said. “We want to get this thing done.” According to Joe Wheeler, facilities manager at the Port of Friday Harbor, the building will be “substantially complete”
by April 1, 2016. At that point it will be turned over to the tenants to finish their spaces. “It is certainly going to pose some obstacles but we’re going to do our best,” said Wheeler about the summer 2015 construction. “We’ve really tried to foresee any difficulties, with foot traffic to and from the marina.” The Port plans to have the building open for business by June 2016.

This position requires a primary election because there are three candidates. Ballots will be mailed around July 15, votes due Aug. 4. Voters will choose between the final two candidates in the general election Nov. 4, and the new commissioner will begin an unexpired two year term by the end of November.

Burn ban at nat’l parks New puzzle business
DAN LEVIN ORIGINAL DESIGN ©
Recreational fires at South Beach at American Camp will be banned starting Friday, July 10 in conjunction with a county-wide burn ban, announced Lee Taylor, park superintendent. “Because of the extreme fire conditions, the San Juan County Fire Marshal’s Office has prohibited ALL outdoor fires including the fire rings at South Beach,” Taylor said. “This policy will remain in place until the weather pattern changes and right now we’re clearly in the red.” The use of gas, charcoal and propane self-contained stoves and barbecues will continue to be allowed under the ban, Taylor said. But visitors are urged to use caution with any open
flame. The Washington State Parks System has banned recreational fires at their campsites statewide. Meanwhile, because of the extreme danger, Washington’s Department of Natural Resources also announced a state-wide outdoor burning restriction that is expected to remain in place at least until October 1. County Parks asks that the public exercise great care with all flammable items. For more information about fires or the local ordinance concerning fireworks go to www.sjcfiremarshall. org or to the Washington state fire marshall site,www. wsp.wa.gov/fire/firemars. htm.

San Juan Puzzles are here. Tom, Tami and Levi Doenges are the proud owners of the newest jigsaw puzzle business on San Juan. It all started earlier this year when they were building a puzzle of Tom’s home state of Michigan. A discussion began about the way puzzles bring families together; a discussion which spawned the idea to create puzzles featuring the San Juan Islands. A meeting with Tim Dustrude got the wheels rolling to locate photos and art from local artists and photographers. After finding several good images to work with, Tim helped develop the rough ideas into marketable products using his extensive background in commercial advertising and product design, and was

Electricity usage
I have been recording my energy usage about every two to three hours (except night-time), and can report the following for the first week (June 22 at 10 a.m. through 10 a.m. on June 29). We are a household of two “older” adults. The house is totally electric – no propane and we don’t burn wood during any season. We have no solar panels or other alternative energy sources. Therefore, we are probably a fairly typical OPALCO residential user. The electric heat is turned off for the summer (JuneSeptember). Appliances are typical: refrigerator and chest freezer run as needed. The water heater has been turned lower, twice, to conserve energy. Each day we both shower in the morning. Most kitchen usage is in the early evening (stove/oven) and the three highest use of kwh are for the dryer (three to four loads per week), stove/oven, and hot water (dishwasher, clothes washer).

Our highest usage is on the weekends. So we are generally typical for an older family of two. Over the seven days, we used 189 kw; most days of the week about 20 kw per day; weekend about 45 kw per day. At 0.097 cents per kwh, our average daily power bill is $2.62 – or $78.57 per month. And a facility charge is added to that! The purpose of this exercise was to have a better sense of the cost of electric power in our home. I will state, strongly, that we will lessen our usage proportionate to any increase in our monthly cost of energy from OPALCO. I suspect that this is the real world for most residential customers. Living on a generally fixed budget is a bugger. I would be very curious as to the comparison of our usage with the average for all residential customers throughout the county. ED SUTTON Orcas Island

heartfelt appreciation to Islands Veterinary Clinic, Harbor Veterinary Services and Lighthouse Mobile Vet for their continued support of shelter animals here on San Juan Island. The animal shelter utilizes the services of each of these practices on a weekly basis, especially during the busy summer months when kitten season is in full swing and strays are more likely to be brought in. We are grateful for their professionalism, flexibility, and expertise. We simply could not do what we do without them! Thank you all, very much.

fishing rights. These rights were granted the Northwest Indian nations by the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott and upheld by the 1974 Boldt Decision, which was itself upheld by the United States Supreme Court. Some of the “science and facts” he refers to are already in hand – including a vessel traffic and risk assessment study by Glosten Associates. In its hundreds of pages is a long section about the adverse impacts of the project on Lummi fishing activities. These impacts are extensive. Based in part on this study, Lummi leaders have concluded that the project cannot be built without significantly impacting and degrading their fishing activities. Thus they have invoked their rights under the 1855 treaty and requested that the Army Corps of Engineers deny permits to the project. Project proposer SSA Marine claims that these impacts can be mitigated, but the Lummi leaders dis-

If the Corps agrees with the Lummi position, as some expect, then there is simply no point in proceeding with the draft environmental impact statement. It’s game over. International treaties like the Point Elliott Treaty are the supreme law of the land. Thus there would be no point in continuing to spend millions of dollars and thousands of hours of government-officials’ time on this ill-conceived project.

As I See It
New interim Community resilience in face of drought editor of Journal By Steve Ulvi
Special to the Journal
Cali Bagby will be taking over as interim editor of the Journal. She will continue to publish the Islands’ Weekly on Lopez in addition to her new position. Bagby originally came to the islands in 2011 as a reporter at the Journal and the editor of the Weekly. She then moved on to become the assistant editor of the Sounder on Orcas in 2012. Prior to coming to the islands, Bagby worked for nearly two years as an embedded journalist with a Medevac unit in Iraq and a Marine unit in Afghanistan. She also cut her reporting “teeth” on humanitarian issues in Bangladesh and Vietnam. In 2010 she co-documented a 2,000-mile bike trip from Colorado to Oregon for a Portland magazine. “People often ask me how I found myself on the islands and there is no short story for that answer. I traveled for many years and experienced a lot of different situations, but at some point I felt compelled to stop moving and find a community. “I love so many aspects of the island from the richness of our parks and wildlife to the tight-knit community to the great arts surrounding us. “I am excited to return to Friday Harbor and become more involved with events, news and more. If you have any news stories, ideas or comments please don’t hesitate to call me at 378-5696 or email me at editor@sanjuanjournal.com. “I am also happy to come work at the Journal and the great staff we have there including our new reporter Anna V. Smith who has already reported on a wealth of important island news. You can contact her at asmith@sanjuanjournal.com.”

W
e live in an uncommonly temperate, forgiving region that is being transformed. The coastal northwest, long enriched by dark roiling winter clouds and deep mountain snow, will be redefined by longer summers and warmer winters.
Nearly every molecule of water that covers the globe, was spewed in awesome volcanic eruptions or carried frozen in asteroids that pummeled a lifeless, molten earth for eons, eventual cooling and pooling. Only earth emerged from deep time (see Mars and Venus) as the rare blue water world spinning nicely at just over 1,000 mph, veiled in clouds with a thin, relatively stable, protective gaseous atmosphere. Any given water molecule has been recycled through countless evaporation/precipitation cycles since an early atmosphere formed. Any drop of water may have coursed through a steamy mammoth gut, been locked in thousands of feet of glacial ice or coursed in the blood of giant dragonflies. So there is more than a little truth in an old saying that cheap beer tastes like “it has been through a horse”. In addition to sticky molecular cohesion, water is a unique shape-shifter existing as a liquid, gas or solid in immense volumes on earth. Atmospheric water vapor is a blessing as precipitation, but a curse as a potent greenhouse gas. No one in history has ever known these things. Clean water, long taken for granted, is an essential common resource worthy of careful protection. Our nation and this region have failed miserably in that regard. But
we enjoy a great natural resilience where ocean moisture collides with steep land. We still have a chance to adapt to new moisture regimes. Without rivers, island groundwater is hit and miss and probably more tenuous than we imagine. An unknown portion of winter rain runs off. Groundwater pressure keeps salt water from intrusion, but many wells will fail or salt out in intensified drought conditions. The few surface reservoirs that serve most of our population have been a fall back source, but in drought crisis will not be available to bail out folks with dry wells. The County rightly allows rainwater to be held without a water right with reasonable limitations. But catchment systems seem an exception, rather than a rule around here due to inconvenience, expense and labor. Yet if you drill into some water you are free to use up to 5,000 gallons a day. Our groundwater, pooled in bedrock fractures, unknown in capacity, is not considered to be in danger, so no tax incentives for conservation or rainwater catchment are contemplated, despite the obvious social utility. We are also told it is unpolluted — so far. Rain carries pollutants from around the globe that will surely increase as nations desperately cling to “cheap” fossil fuel energy. Community resilience during the coming decades of cascading, never before experienced change, will be sorely tested. Meanwhile, embrace the troubling beauty of a blood red sun and say goodbye to salmon and resident orcas. Express your thoughts July 20, 6 p.m. on water or any other island way of life issue, threatened by a warming atmosphere, at a facilitated Community Discussion sponsored by Island Climate Resilience at the San Juan Grange. Editor’s note: U.S. Parks Service retiree Steve Ulvi and his wife arrived on San Juan Island in 2007.
Ranker wraps up Olympia session The following was submitted by Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island
prehensive plan to address I-1351 and our moral and constitutional obligations outlined in the Supreme Court’s McCleary decision. Our plan, SB 6104, would have amended the initiative to phase it in and honor the will of the voters by committing to this detailed plan for implementation. Unfortunately, this proposal did not move forward. We had members who were willing to vote to change the initiative, but we were clear with Senate Republicans about what that means: If we are going to pass a bill that is detrimental to kids, let’s do something significant to help them. That’s why we asked for a solution to our high-stakes testing problem. Due to a change that was recently implemented nearly 2,000 deserving high school seniors, who did everything right throughout all of their years in school were now being told that they would not graduate – even though many were already accepted to college – because they failed to pass the required punitive high-stakes biology exam. Basically, the current biology exam is based
on the old learning standards - we adopted new standards in 2013 and it is anticipated that the new test on those standards will be available for field testing in 2017. Using a test based on standards that aren’t even taught anymore is totally unfair to those students. So while it took an extra week, Republicans finally agreed with us and we passed a bill that delays the high-stakes testing in science for two years – allowing those nearly 2,000 kids to be judged on their years of achievements and good grades instead of one individual flawed text. We also voted to suspend Initiative 1351. This was an extremely difficult decision. While I wish we had been able to advance our proposal that fully committed us to phasing it in over time, there were not the necessary Republican votes for our plan and there was simply not the money to pay for the full proposal at this time. If you have any questions email me at kevin.ranker@leg.wa.gov or call Jennifer in my office at 360786-7678 and she can find a time for us to connect.

After six months in Olympia, we finally finished our work – for now. I will provide a more detailed summary later of what got done this year and what did not, but I wanted to provide you with this outline of the past week’s events so that you understand where we stand and why we took this extra week to complete our work after passing the operating budget that averted a government shutdown last week. While we had passed a final operating budget last week, as many of you heard, we did not have the bipartisan votes needed to address Initiative 1351 – the noble but extremely costly $2 billion class-size reduction measure that the voters passed last November. Unfortunately, while lower class size in all our classrooms is something we must continue to work toward, as decision-makers we must be realistic and the difficult reality is that I-1351 would be impossible to afford this year.

Obituary
Janet (Kepner) McWhorter
Janet (Kepner) McWhorter passed away at home on June 23, 2015 with family at her side. She was 87 years old. She is survived by her husband Malcolm, daughter Marta and her husband Stu Pechek, “extra daughter” Melissa Thyoneus; her brothers, Harry and Phil with their wives and children, and her cat Esperanza. Janet was born on February 11, 1928, in Troy
NY, to parents Harold R. and Barbara Kepner. She moved to Logan, Utah as a four year old when her father accepted a professorship at Utah State University. She attended Logan senior high school and during WWII volunteered at an area Internment Camp. After attending Utah State University for two years she graduated from Ohio Wesleyan College with a Bachelor of Arts in French and Spanish, which proved very useful in later world travels. After college Janet
taught English at Utah State in Logan. She soon left for Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., pursing a Master’s Degree in Psychology where she met her future husband, Malcolm Myers McWhorter, an electrical engineering student. They married September 8, 1951 and were together for 64 years. Their daughter, Marta, was born on Dec. 3, 1953. They lived in Portola Valley where Malcolm became a professor of Electrical Engineering at
Stanford. Although a primarily stay-at-home mom, Janet was very active in her daughter’s Peninsula school, neighborhood community and church activities, and later became deeply involved in organizations promoting human understanding and world peace. Janet loved traveling to wild places, especially to her brother’s cabin in Colorado and to a shared family cabin in the Lake Tahoe area. On several occasions she ventured to Alaska, usually in the dead of winter, to visit her daughter Marta, bun-

dling up for dog races at 40 below. Throughout her life Janet adventured to many countries around the world with family and friends, and enjoyed many weeks in India and South Korea where Malcolm had work assignments. In 1996, life took a turn to the north when Janet and Malcolm visited Janet’s lifelong friends, Van and Jim Gimlet in Friday Harbor. They fell in love with the area and moved to San Juan Island the following year. Janet felt immediately at home here and loved the island community. She quickly became enveloped by Van’s circle of friends, and loved participating in their walking group, film and French groups and book club. She enjoying playing cards with her bridge group until she passed away. Through Janet’s life, her passion above all else was animals; she gave generously to many local and international animal rescue organizations. On the home front and at various times, individual neighbor’s cats, knowing Janet’s love, would eventually become part of the McWhorter family. In addition, she knew all the cats and dogs in the neighborhood and the door was always open for anyone to stop by and chat, especially if they brought their dog to visit. She also cared for and deeply loved Marta’s malemute, Shika, when Marta worked field jobs. A life long avid reader, she enjoyed all manner of
books, from old English poets to modern biographies, from the early teachings of Christ to texts on Buddhist enlightenment, and from Sherlock Holmes to light weight whodunits. With recent increasing health problems Janet spent quality time at home with her family and human friends, her fox friends at the door, her beloved cat, and her wonderful caregivers. A heartfelt thanks go to these fun, compassionate women who Janet so enjoyed to laugh and talk with. Janet made friends so easily. Many people who knew her will probably remember her wonderful sense of humor and the conversations they had. She was involved and genuinely interested in your daily life, making you feel special. Janet’s beautiful handwritten notes and letters were always a treat received by her many friends and relatives. She will be so missed. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date. Following Janet’s spirit, memorial gifts may be made to the Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor or to Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.

1. Preheat to 425°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Add all the dry ingredients together and “activate” the lavender by crushing it up with your fingers. 2 teaspoons gives a faint taste of lavender that can be overpowered by the lemon curd. For a stronger lavender taste use three or more teaspoons. Add in cut up chunks of butter; rub in with your fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal. 3. Whisk 1 cup buttermilk, zest, and vanilla or orange extract in a small bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Stir until shaggy dough forms. 4. Transfer to a lightly floured surface; knead until dough forms, about 5 turns. Pat into a circle, roughly half an inch thick. Cut up like a pie to make eight scones. If you want to make more, smaller scones just divide the dough into two circles and cut like a pie to make 16 smaller scones total. 5. Pour 2 Tbsp. buttermilk into a bowl and use a pastry brush or your fingers to brush the tops of the scones. Sprinkle with sanding sugar, optional. 6. Bake until scones are golden and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 13–15 minutes. Transfer to wire racks; let cool. 7. Serve warm or at room temperature with lemon curd.

1. Zest of 3 lemons into a bowl. Add sugar, and use your fingers to thoroughly combine the sugar and zest until infused and fragrant. 2. Cream the butter into the sugar and lemon infusion. Add the eggs one at a time and then add the lemon juice and salt. Mix until combined. 3. Pour the mixture into a 2 quart saucepan and cook over low heat until thickened (about 10 minutes), stirring constantly. The lemon curd will thicken at about 177 degrees F. When it reaches desired consistency remove from the heat and cool or refrigerate. Remember the curd will thicken considerably once cooled. Note: This recipe makes much more than the amount you would need for these scones, about three cups. Luckily, lemon curd goes well on almost anything you can think of, so you’ll have curd for days. Put it on pancakes, waffles, toast, dessert, fruit, etc! Keep refrigerated, or if you don’t think you’ll go through it fast enough you can freeze half of it until needed.

The residents of the Life Care Center on Spring Street in Friday Harbor are building a scale model garden railroad. The LC & Pacific RR, operating since August of last year, has approximately 200 feet of tract, four engines, passenger and freight cars and the Red Ball Trolley. Under the guidance of Ron Garner
and Phil Myers, the residents are creating mountains, tunnels, buildings and gardens when they are not busy running the trains. The 13 active and numerous observers at the center are looking for volunteers to help with their projects and running the trains. No previous knowledge with model railroads is required. The present meeting time is Tuesdays at 12:45 to 2:30. If someone wants to help after dinner we can create a program one evening a week. To join the railroaders, drop by at 660 Spring Street on Tuesday afternoon or call Ron Garner at 378-7722.
