From six to three to ... five?
Two more council posts added under Forlenza, Peterson proposal By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
If you thought the question of County Council numbers had been put to rest, think again. Believing that voters did not understand what they were doing last November, councilmen Rich Peterson and Marc Forlenza want to give islanders a “do-over”. This time, however, Peterson and Forlenza have proposed replacing the 3-person council with five. Peterson says the three-person council “leaves San Juan Island and Orcas Island underrepresented on the county council.” Peterson thinks it’s fine for Lopez and Shaw to have a single council member, but that the larger populations of San Juan and Orcas islands would be better served if two council members were elected from each of those islands. He also thinks voters would prefer to vote by district, and that advisory committees, like the planning commission, should reflect the distribution of population on the islands. So he and Forlenza, each elected by district voting in 2010 and 2012, respectively, and who both will be displaced by the countywide elections later this month, have proposed a second charter See Proposal, Page 5

Council candidate Q & A Dist. 1 By Journal Staff
This is the last of a three-part series of Q&A segments with county council candidates running in the April 23 election. The revamped three-person council, and the upcoming elections, are the result of revisions to the county charter proposed in 2012 by the Charter Revision Commission and approved by the voters in November. The revisions returned the council to three members elected countywide from “residency districts” comprising San Juan, Orcas and Lopez and their respective nearby smaller islands. Bob Jarman and Lovel Pratt are running for the San Juan Island District 1 position. Jarman, an elected commissioner of San Juan Island Fire Department, defeated Pratt in her bid for reelection to the council in November. The two candidates square off once again in the April 23 election.
Bob Jarman Journal: What is the single most critical issue facing county
residents?
in these beautiful islands.
Our county residents are concerned about being able to make a living, provide for their families, and hang on to their property. Our economy in the islands is going to be directly effected by the implementation of the Critical Area Ordinance and Shoreline Management Plan. Hardest hit will be the building trades, our small farmers, and property owners. We were able to push the implementation of the CAO forward to December, giving us time to hear the results of the lawsuits before the GMA Board. Adjustments and compromises need to be made so that our economy can grow stronger going forward with as few government encumbrances as possible, while maintaining our county’s rural character. Our County Council needs to find ways to promote commerce and sustainable jobs through technology, health care, the building trades, tourism, real estate sales, and agriculture so that our county residents can afford to live
Journal: What issues or projects would you take a leadership role on if elected?
I am currently a member of the Building Advisory Committee, and if re-elected, would like to remain on that committee. We are identifying and reviewing our outdated codes and codes that can be simplified, thereby streamlining the process of getting a building/land use permit. For example, “One stop shopping” (being able to go to one place without having to go to several different agencies). The committee is looking at better cooperation between our building and planning department staff to meet the needs of our citizens. I want to work on boosting the morale of our county employees by building trust with the council though openness, honesty and mutual respect, which will in turn create better customer service. We want to set up office hours on Orcas and Lopez so those See Q & A, Page 4

Q & A: Continued from page 1 islanders’ needs can be met more easily. We’re also in the process of setting up a committee to hear complaints from builders and home/land owners regarding the permit process. The committee will be comprised of their peers and will bring the complaints forward with its recommendations to the council. This will eliminate people with permit complaints from having to go before the Hearing Examiner at the cost of $2,500 for the complaint to be heard. I believe this committee is vital to our community. Journal: Which government agencies have the most influence on San Juan County, and why?

all land-use issues, including our Critical Area Ordinances, and sets the rules regarding water quality, air quality, storm water, etc. In addition, NOAA and the Department of Fish and Wildlife are all involved in our policy-making. It is important to keep two-way conversations going with our state representatives and legislators. Keeping on top of issues that affect our county means having an open dialog with those in Olympia, necessitating travel to Olympia at times for “face-to-face” conversations. Journal: How do you plan to balance the county budget? Do you support renewal of Prop. 1, the voter-approved property tax increase that expires at the end of 2015?
In setting budgets, the council needs to remember that our county’s primary responsibilities are “Public Safety (Public Works), Health, and Law & Justice”. In the few months that I have been a sitting council member, we have had requests for money from agencies that are non-budgeted items. I have voted no. The only way to reduce taxes and balance the budget is to reduce spending and encourage commerce. We need to define what our functions/priorities are and then how we want to go about funding them. What are our acceptable levels of service? I do not support renewal of Prop. 1, and will work diligently to hold the line on budget expenses, delving deep into our spending patterns and cutting any unnecessary expenditures. In my nine years working with the (San Juan Island Fire Department) and 30 years with the phone company, I have been responsible for budgets in the millions and know

how to “do more with less”. With my leadership I’ve maintained a positive work environment, positive morale and mutual trust amongst my peers and employees. Journal: What do you bring to the table that is different from the other candidates and why did you decide to run?
I have made my living in these islands for over 38 years. I understand the difficulties, as well as the joys, of living and working here. I have been a manager, an employer, and an employee. I know how to get a job done efficiently while working cooperatively with many agencies. I do not micromanage. I listen to all sides and make decisions based on what, in my opinion, is best for all. I am open and honest in my dealings. I will always work for the betterment of my community. I decided to run for County Council after spending the last four years being very frustrated with the way our county was being run. My friends, colleagues and family members were equally frustrated. Instead of just complaining and judging, I decided to try to do something about it. Luckily, I had the support of my family and friends. It’s been a LONG YEAR of campaigning. It’s been worth it. I’ve met wonderful people all over these islands that have the same goal as I do… to maintain our rural, island way of life while trying to stimulate our economy and respecting our environment.
Lovel Pratt Journal: What is the single most critical issue facing county residents?
Maintaining and enhancing our quality of life is the single most critical issue facing county residents now and into the future. Many of us have stayed here or chosen to live here because of family and friends, because this is a beautiful place, because we appreciate the rural lifestyle, and/or because we value being active participants in a small community. Maintaining and enhancing this quality of life includes having opportunities for year-round, family-wage jobs; access to affordable and stable housing and health care; a healthy and vibrant environment which is the foundation of our economy; and support for a diverse and civilly engaged community. Journal: What issues or projects would you take a leadership role on if elected?
Advocating for San Juan County at the regional, state, federal, and international levels was a focus of mine during my first term on the council and I am committed to continuing to provide this essential leadership. We cannot address many of the challenges we face only from within San Juan County. We need to address ferry transportation issues in Olympia and with other ferry-served communities in Puget Sound. State and federal funding of essential county-delivered services must be addressed with our state and federal legislators. We need to address oil spill prevention, readiness, and response with the Coast Guard, our state and federal representatives and government agency officials, the tribes, and our Canadian neighbors whose border we share. I will continue to take a leadership role in response to the proposed coal terminal, which has no benefits and only potential negative impacts to San Juan County. I am proud of my work to secure the scoping meeting held in San Juan County that so many islanders attended. I will take a greater leadership role to ensure that islanders feel welcome to participate in the work of the council and that citizen engagement is civil. I will work to improve my own and the council’s communications, providing more accurate and up to date information. Having accurate information and civil engagement are critical in order for people to feel welcome to participate in county government. See Q & A, Page 5

Appeal: Continued from page 1 O’Day’s “swings” consisted of a Petition for Direct Review, a Request for Accelerated Review and a Motion for Preliminary Injunction — all in support of her contentions that the high court should short-circuit the appeals process by taking the appeal directly from the trial court, consider the appeal immediately and temporarily suspend at least the counting of ballots for the April 23 election of the new three-person County Council. If the court denies the first petition, the case will be sent to the lower Court of Appeals for a decision which could take months, according to O’Day. After a Court of Appeals ruling, O’Day (or county Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord, if he loses in the Court of Appeals), could ask the Supreme Court for further review.
Q & A:
Continued from page 4 Journal: Which governmental agencies have the most influence on San Juan County, and why?
Given that we all ride the ferries and travel on county roads, the government agency that likely most affects residents and visitors is the Washington State Department of Transportation. Many other state agencies also have significant influence. For example, the state auditor oversees all expenses and disbursements in the county, the secretary of state supervises our elections, the state attorney general guides our prosecuting attorney, and our sheriff must coordinate with numerous state and federal law enforcement agencies. Because we are on an international border and our waters are highways to the world as well as habitat for endangered species, agencies such as Homeland Security, Customs, Coast Guard, and NOAA are all influential. Finally, the court system likely plays a larger role in San Juan County, particularly in regard to land-use issues, than it does in other com-
From Page One
If the Supreme Court takes the case at this stage (because it presents “novel” or “important” issues), they might still turn down the quick review request, hear the case in regular order and issue a final decision later this year. Refusing the accelerated review request would likely mean that the court also rejects the preliminary injunction motion. A trial court has previously rejected O’Day’s attempt to stop the election. She is heartened that the Supreme Court requested that Gaylord respond to her filings by March 29. “We’re encouraged that the Supreme Court recognized the importance of the issues we presented,” she said. Gaylord said that he filed a response and a statement in opposition to the accelerated review request March 27, and would file his brief opposing the injunction on March 29.
parable counties. State and federal laws are carried out by various state and federal agencies, but, ultimately, the court system has the final say on laws and their implementation. Journal: How do you plan to balance the county budget? Do you support renewal of Prop. 1, the voter-approved property tax increase that expires at the end of 2015?
By law, the county budget must be balanced. I will continue to carefully steward taxpayer funds and other county revenues. I will continue to work towards a long-term sustainable budget, and I will advocate to further increase the reserve funds I helped to establish in order to address future economic downturns. The voter approved levy lid-lift created a local mandate for county programs and services that are not mandated by state or federal law. These include senior services, public health services, WSU Extension programs, county parks, and the Islands Oil Spill Association. I support the renewal of the levy lid lift and the reaffirmation of a local mandate for county programs and services. It will be important to get
citizen input on the programs and services funded by the levy lid-lift as well as the funding amount. The Community Conversations are providing an important forum for citizen input and I urge everyone to participate. More information is available on the county’s website: http://www.sanjuanco.com/conversation/ Journal: What do you bring to the table that is different from the other candidates and why did you decide to run?
I bring the support of many islanders with diverse viewpoints and backgrounds. Over 350 supporters have signed up to be listed on my campaign website and in ads; 184 supporters have made campaign contributions. Donations have come from San Juan, Orcas, Lopez, Shaw, Waldron, and Stuart islands.
Proposal:
Continued from page 1 amendment to return the county to voting by district. Voting by district, however, may require redistricting to meet “one-man, one-vote” constitutional requirements. Their first charter amendment, if approved by voters, would retain the three council members to be elected April 23, and then another two would be elected in a countywide special election in April, 2014. In either case, the three council members elected this April would not run again until their terms expire, one in 2014 (Lopez/ I am running for election because I am an effective community leader and county advocate. County priorities must be championed beyond San Juan County by elected representatives on the council. Many county priorities require state or federal action and/ or funding. I have built effective relationships with our state and federal representatives and their staffs, and with state and federal agency decision-makers. I am committed to making the time to do this important work on behalf of San Juan County, in addition to attending to the many duties of the council on island. My public service on the council has been my proudest professional accomplishment and is the work that I love. I ask for your vote to represent all islanders on the County Council.

Shaw) and two in 2016. The propositions were before the council March 26 on “first touch,” which means the council discussed the issue but did not take testimony. Nevertheless, five citizens spoke on the Peterson/Forlenza proposal during “Citizen’s Access Time”. Reaction was divided, three against, two in favor. Council Chairman Jamie Stephens and Councilman Rick Hughes voted against moving the proposal forward. They agreed that such an amendment should come from a citizens initiative, not the council.
Council members Patty Miller, Bob Jarman, Peterson and Forlenza voted to move the proposal forward to an April 9 discussion, known as a “second touch”. If the council chooses to proceed at that point, it would get a “third touch”, which would include a public hearing, public testimony and a final decision whether to place the propositions on the ballot. Peterson would like to see the amendments approved by the current council because the 3-person council which takes office in early May, “probably wouldn’t approve my idea.”

Moved by display of ‘Island Spirit’
Last Wednesday (March 20) I was driving on West Valley road, down Cady Mt. “pass”, when a gentleman flashed his headlights at me resulting in my slowing down. Thankfully, I did, as when I rounded a blind curve a large tree limb was laying across the road that would have done severe damage to my car. I just wanted to thank him for being so thoughtful to warn me. He totally embodies our island’s spirit, and I owe him a debt of gratitude and will “pay it forward.” Andrea Wieland San Juan Island
Broadband: more than boondoggle
If you are an OPALCO member, you have certain rights guaranteed by Washington state law. OPALCO is, by its own admission, “a corporation organized under Chapter 24.06 RCW, the Miscellaneous and Mutual Corporations Act.” To protect members the Act requires that corporations “set forth” in their articles of incorporation, “The purpose or purposes for which the corporation is organized.” (RCW 24.06.025(3). In another section the act requires any changes to the articles of incorporation to be approved by the members by a two-thirds majority (RCW 24.06.190).

So now that OPALCO intends to add to its “purposes” becoming a mini Comcast plus a internet service provider, plus a phone company, plus the builder and manager of 100 minicell towers spreading 700 MHz radiation into every nook and cranny of SJC, a change to the articles of incorporation would seem to be required. OPALCO’s excuse for depriving its members of their right to determine the purposes of the cooperative they say we own, is that the whole wireless and internet business will support the delivery of electric power. This is pretty lame, even for a SJC organization. One look at the promotional material for their “Broadband Initiative” makes it clear that this is something entirely separate from the electric power business. Any scheme that requires the committing of civil crimes and the total denial of our rights as members/ owners should probably be rejected. Steve Ludwig Lopez Island

Unfailingly adept; Byers in Dist. 2
Years ago, I attended a day-long meeting/retreat facilitated by Lisa Byers. I’d known Lisa casually but as this day progressed I became more and more impressed with her ability to bring people together and to allow a good discussion of potentially divisive topics. Since then, I have enjoyed several more opportunities (as a participant) observing Lisa when she has been called upon to lead groups in establishing mutual goals or talking through sticky topics to come to consensus. She’s unfailingly able to do this with skill and good humor. Lisa not only listens well but she also hears what is being said. In my experience, those two traits are not always present at the same time. She is skilled at helping people clarify ideas and goals because she has the ability to put herself aside and hear what is being said. Lisa’s skills will allow our County Council to go forward functioning effectively. Her intelligence coupled with her ability to

Lovel is an excellent listener. She is a longtime county resident and community member and understands that there are always multiple views on an issue and works hard to provide a balanced perspective. I am confident that when Lovel is reelected to the San Juan County Council she will continue to provide us with strong leadership that considers scientific evidence, economic implications and public will when making decisions.

Editorial
As I See It
The Journal endorses...
Anti-CAO campaign deconstructed
T
he job has changed since voters last cast their ballots in November. The three candidates elected to the council on April 23 will have expanded duties, executive as well as legislative, and earn nearly twice as much as their predecessors. It’s with this expanded role in mind, and with a nod to balance among the three, that the Journal, along with its sister papers, the Weekly and Sounder, endorse Rick Hughes, Jamie Stephens and Lovel Pratt in their respective races. Lovel Pratt sees the big picture and works tirelessly. Her service to the community, including championing the Brickworks project and leading the coal port EIS scoping effort, demonstrates she understands how the county operates and that she will put full commitment into her work. We like the fresh perspective Jarman has on some thorny issues the county faces, but with the changing nature of the council position, we believe Pratt has the edge. It’s a shame that Hughes and Lisa Byers can’t serve together on the council. That, we’d endorse. But in the end, we like both the diversity of Hughes’ background and his inventiveness. His commitment to the community is welldocumented. What’s more, he’s thoughtful, conscientious and an independent thinker; Hughes by a nose. Jamie Stephens brought a long, accomplished list of community involvement along with him when he was elected to the council two years ago. From the Port to the Family Resource Center to Fisherman Bay Water Association to the Land Trust, Stephens has — been there, done that. In this race, he’s the man.

With letters, columns, paid ads, an orchestrated campaign proved formidable

and the “Pros” were cast as dishonest or worse. During this campaign how were the pro-CAO folks responding? They wrote letters (32 to the Antis’ 68) but rather than having any organization to them, they answered arguments in the anti-letters. Two ads were pro-CAO, both by the Friends of the San Juans, calling attention Journal file photo to the County Council meetJohn Darrah ing coming up and answering questions about the proposed CAO. Their wording was matter of fact and no attempt was made to redefine the issue. In short, the pros didn’t seem to have a clue what was happening under their noses. The antis spent about $3,200 on their ads. The Friends spent about $390. This is what islanders would find if they studied past issues of the Journal. It is up to them to conclude what effect this had on the election. With newcomers beating two seasoned incumbents by narrow margins in the county council election, the campaign may be thought to have been decisive. It raises the further question: how do Islanders want to talk to each other about important issues?
carefully crafted campaign against the county’s critical areas ordinance during 2011-2012 resulted in the defeat in the 2012 fall election of two County Council members. The campaign was so quiet and so well executed that election results were generally greeted as a surprise. This campaign consisted of 12 advertisements and 58 letters or opinion pieces which conveyed an urgent and negative message over a period of 13 months – September 2011 to October 2012. Although undoubtedly other opinions about the CAO appeared in other media on the islands, this review is confined to what appeared in the Journal of the San Juan Islands. The campaign appears to have begun with an ad on Feb. 23, 2011 by the Citizen’s Alliance for Property Rights, noting a problem of us-against-government agencies and special interests and calling for a meeting of citizens. Other than a March letter, nothing happened until September when the letters began in earnest. Some were reasonable in tone, others were angry, but all conveyed an urgent message: the new CAO was complex, incomprehensible, unfair, costly to landowners and a violation of property rights. The message was consistent over the year that the letter campaign ran. The pro-CAO crowd was labeled dishonest, extreme and bullying, spending millions — Editor’s note: The opinion piece above by John Darrah, a to impose their regulations. part-time resident of San Juan Island and retired King County The advertisements started up again in September, num- superior court judge, has been abbreviated to conform with the bering nine through April, 2012.

Your donations make a difference
On behalf of patients in our community’s hospitals, I wish to extend our thanks. During the blood drive on March 13, Puget Sound Blood Center registered 84 people. This will bring health and comfort to many patients. The blood donations collected at the blood drive are critical in order to maintain a stable blood supply for surgeries, medical emergencies, and for supporting patients battling life-threatening illnesses like cancer and leukemia. Thanks to all the donors who took time out of their busy day to donate blood. With great appreciation to San Juan Island Lions Club for blood drive sponsorship; Curt VanHyning for organizing the drive and Lions Club members for their assistance; the Mullis Community and Senior Center for providing the blood drive site; Gordon Waite for promoting the drive at San Juan High School; Becki Day, Jim Cole, Paul Barger and Robin Delazerda for helping spread the word; and the volunteers who helped on the day of the drive. We couldn’t have done it without you. Each weekday, 900 people must donate blood to meet the needs of patients in Western Washington hospitals. Your blood drive has played an important role in helping meet that goal. The next blood drive is June 5. Carol Rondello Puget Sound Blood Center
Credit where much is overdue
As your local derelict vessel program finishes the second year of its revival and makes plans to start
the next season, it seems appropriate to give credit to all those who have helped make our local program a reality. Thanks to generous contributions from the FH Power Squadron, SJAAOC, SJI Yacht Club, the Port of FH, Roche Harbor Resort, Islands Marine Center, Jensen Shipyard, CSA, Brown Island Residents Association and other wonderful organizations for the funding to restart and sustain this and follow-on programs. And without people like Terry Whalen and Marc Forlenza, there would have been no program to fund. These folks, not to mention the Sheriff, the MRC, local government officials and all the volunteers who have helped us to become the only pro-active program in the state, are islanders at their best. Thanks to all. Joanruth Baumann Coordinator, SJC Derelict Vessel Programs

The League of Women Voters would like to take this opportunity to thank the President for making this designation and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar for supporting this decision. We would also like to recognize our legislators who were proactive in moving this decision forward: Maria Cantwell, Patty Murray, Rick Larsen and U.S. Rep.

Dancer Savannah Fuentes, left, and guitarist Pedro Cortes, star in The Ciudades Northwest Flamenco Tour. By Steve Wehrly Journal Reporter
F
lamenco dancer Savannah Fuentes returns to San Juan Island with renowned singer Jesus Montoya and master guitarist Pedro Cortes for a one-night-only presentation Saturday, April 6, at the Grange hall. The Ciudades Northwest Flamenco Tour performance is the second stop on Fuentes’s latest tour. She has independently brought internationally recognized flamenco artists to communities in Oregon, Washington and Idaho for five years. Ciudades celebrates this unique and powerful art form this year with 25 presentations of Flamenco music and dance in four states. “I’ve just got a chip in my brain and I just couldn’t stop, but it hasn’t been easy,” said Fuentes, entranced by flamenco since the age of 17. “It takes hours and hours of your life. A lot of people fall in love with flamenco, but don’t stick with it” Traditional flamenco is performed live and consists of several components: “cante” (singing), “toque” (guitar), and “baile” (dance). Plus, a lesser-known component, “jaleo”, which roughly translates into “hell-raising” and involves hand clapping, foot stomping and shouts of encouragement. “Many times I have heard someone, who may be experiencing live Flamenco for the first time, shout ‘yoo-hoo’ during a footwork build up,” Fuentes said. “And it worked. I think it is great that they can participate in that way.” Singer Jesús Montoya is from Seville, Spain. Born into the one of the oldest Gypsy families. He earned the name “El Rey Del Fandangos Grande” at age 7. By age 9, he

had started his professional singing career and at age 13 he had started to tour with various professional companies. In addition to his Spanish and European touring credentials, Montoya has toured with major flamenco companies throughout the United States and Canada to sold-out audiences. In addition to being the one most respected touring flamenco singers in the US, he continues to perform with his own flamenco company “Pureza Flamenca”, widely known for putting on some of the greatest and most exciting flamenco shows worldwide. Cortes comes from a family of Spanish Gypsy guitarists, and began his studies with his father, the esteemed flamenco guitarist Sabicas. Having toured professionally since the age of 17, he is now gaining international recognition as a soloist and composer. The Seatlle P.I.’s Regina Hackett called the show, “Real flamenco, straight up and stunning.” About Cortes, Jennifer Fisher of the Los Angeles Times said, “Dazzlingly deployed virtuosity paced like capriciously gathering storm.” Tickets are $10 student/low-income, $22 general, $35 VIP sponsor, available at www.brownpapertickets.com.

Around Town Flight of fancy in On Book’ show
How can a little girl go about bringing happiness back into the lives of her gloomy, down-in-themouth aunt and uncle? A bit of help from a trio of talking animals and a big dose of shock therapy from one mischievous fairy will evidently do the trick. That’s the premise of “A Spell of Cold Weather”, written by Charles Way, directed by Dorian Oliver, and presented April 8 and April 9 in the next edition of San Juan Community Theatre’s, On Book! Readers Theatre series. Admission is free. Doors open at 7 p.m.; performance at 7:30 p.m. Produced in Britain, Ireland and in the U.S., Cold Weather is a play that the whole family will appreciate. It delivers a heartwarming message about faith and magic against the backdrop of winter, and is story that’s designed for the whole family to enjoy. Info, 378-3210, www.sjctheatre.org.

The Friday Harbor Sailing Club will be one of 16 teams slated to compete Saturday and Sunday at the Roche Harbor Island Cup, April 6 and 7. As many as 150 sailors from high schools across the region — Oregon and California too (a first) — will put knowledge and skills to test during the two-day sailing regatta, sponsored by the San Juan Sailing Foundation. The regatta features a “fleet race”, in which “everybody gets a boat,” SJSC coach Dez Bridgmon said. That means as many as 30 boats in the queue at the start line, with races averaging 8-15 minutes, depending on wind. Competition begin midmorning on both days.

Wolverines loneliest number? One Nine games into the season and the number “one” still looms large. The Friday Harbor boys soccer team suffered its third consecutive defeat by a margin of just one goal, Saturday, in a 3-2 loss at home to Nooksack Valley — in overtime. “We’re much better than we were last year,” team captain Brett Paul said of the Wolverines. “This team is way more dynamic. We just need to learn how to finish that last little bit.” At the end of regulation, with the score tied 2-2, a defensive lapse by the Wolverines allowed the Pioneers’ Alejandro Hurado a clear shot at the goal from point-blank range with three minutes gone in the extra period. He drilled it past the outstretch arms of a diving Michael Barsamian, who found himself in a one-on-one situation in trying to defend the Friday Harbor goal. The Pioneers prevented Friday Harbor from mounting a comeback over the next seven minutes of O.T. to seal the victory. The Wolverines fell to 2-7 on the heels of the defeat. Earlier in the week, the Wolverines fell one goal short in a 2-1 loss at home, March 28, against Division 2A Sedro Woolley, and failed to best another one-goal margin in a 3-2

Austin Lambright drove in three runs and Otis Cooper-West quashed a late-game rally by striking out the final four batters of the game, as the Wolverines clinched a 3-0 win in the opener of a double header, Saturday, at home against Nooksack Valley. With two outs, the bases loaded and the Pioneers threatening to score in the sixth inning, Cooper-West took the mound and fanned the first batter he faced to end the rally. In the seventh, he struck out the side to seal the victory. With a win in the opening game, coupled with a 4-3 loss in second game (the first game counts in the teams district 1A season series) the Wolverines

‘Everyday Hero’
Like many do, Georgia Forbes distinctly recalls the day that JFK was assassinated and what happened next. She started knitting, and she hasn’t stopped since. In fact, Forbes estimates she has knitted about 1,000 pair of mittens — all for children — in 20 years as an elementary school volunteer, including the 200 or so she’s made over the last six-plus years for students of Friday Harbor Elementary School. She was a para-educator in the Shoreline School District for 13 years before moving to San Juan Island. It’s with those mittens in mind, and the spirit of “going above and beyond” for the sake of the community they represents, that prompted the Kiwanis Club to honor Forbes with it’s “Everyday Hero” award at a surprise presentation March 29 at the elementary school.

Hundreds of miles to paddle. I am a weekend warrior. But my shoulder pain was getting in the way of my favorite adventures. So I turned to the ONE place in our region with expert knowledge and specialty care for shoulders, hips, knees and ankles. PeaceHealth St. Joseph Orthopedics offers a full-range of options for shoulders from minor arthroscopic surgery and rotator cuff repairs to advanced surgery. And even the brand new joint I needed! Thanks to PeaceHealth, I’m enjoying my recovery out on the bay—one paddle stroke at a time.
