State transportation workers scan the wreckage of the I-5 Skagit River Bridge, making preparations for installation of a temporary replacement beginning sometime next week.

Bridge fix fast tracked Feds provide funds for temporary replacement; expected by mid-June By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

“Like pieces for a gigantic erector set,” thousands of steel beams, connectors, supports and fasteners have already arrived and are being assembled into a temporary bridge to replace the collapsed I-5 bridge over the Skagit River in Mount Vernon. According to Bill Killeen, president of Acrow Corporation of America, the manufacturer of the bridge, about 20 truckloads of the silvery-gray hot-dipped galvanized steel are on site or on the way to Mount Vernon, as are Acrow construction specialists from Tampa, Fla., Vancouver, B.C. and Camas, Wash. “We’ve built thousands of bridges around the world over the past 60 years, many of them under emergency conditions,” said Killeen, who noted that he personally worked with an Acrow Bridge

team rebuilding more than 60 bridges around Mount St. Helens, in the aftermath of the 1980 eruption. The northern section of the bridge fell into the Skagit River, May 23, when a southbound Mullen Trucking Co. truck hauling a large housing for mining equipment clipped one or more load-bearing supporting struts as it crossed the bridge. The over-height truck was accompanied by a pilot car with a vertical measuring pole which, according to witnesses, also struck the bridge in front of the truck following behind. Three people were rescued from two vehicles that plunged into the water along with the bridge. All three were unharmed and released from local hospitals after being checked out and warmed up. Killeen said his company started loading trucks at marshaling yards near Acrow’s Parsippany, N.J., headquarters and at rented storage near Camas, Wash., less than 24 hours after the collapse. The trucks were dispatched immediately after contracts were signed, some with tandem crews driving day and night. The two side-by-side temporary bridgSee Fix, Page 4

Part 2 of a two-part series on island manufacturing Who says manufacturing can’t work in the San Juan Islands? Not Travis Ayers of Luxel, David Marsaudon of Window Craft , Robert Herrick of Lacrimedics, or Hawk Pingree of San Juan Distillery. All four companies have become established, and all four owners intend to stay. Hard work and unique products are the foundations of their success here, but each credits their employees (except the dis-

tiller, which has a single, new, part-timer) and each thinks this is a great place to be headquartered. Last week’s Journal reviewed Luxel Corporation and San Juan Distillery, both located on San Juan Island. This week the Journal will take a look at Window Craft, Inc., of San Juan Island and Lacrimedics, Inc., of Orcas Island. Window Craft, Inc. David Marsaudon has carved out a top-of-themarket niche during almost 35 years of making wood windows on San Juan Island for luxury homes across the country. A few of his clients are so exclusive that contracts specify he can’t publicize the customer’s identity. Marsaudon, a woodworker since age 14, started making windows by himself in La Conner in 1977. An early

Inslee asked to delay healthcare decisions

Reacting to proposed mergers and affiliations between secular and religious hospitals in Washington state, the ACLU and a coalition of civil rights and health advocacy groups have sent a letter to Gov. Jay Inslee asking him to impose a six-month moratorium on decisions by the state Department of Health on applications related to Gov. Jay Inslee hospital ownership, operation, or management. “Patients are at risk of being denied medically appropriate health care due to the unprecedented number of medical facilities in Washington that are considering or are planning mergers with religious health care corporations,” the coalition states in the letter. “When such mergers take place, secular hospiSee DELAY, Page 4

contract from San Juan Island alerted him to the high-end construction market here, so he brought his saws and joiners to Friday Harbor in 1979. His long-term workforce of nine skilled carpenters is “essential” to his success, he says, but the level of woodworking expertise needed is such that, like Ayers at Luxel, he’s had to train some workers to meet his standards. But having trained them, they stay. All nine have been there more than five years, most more than ten, several for 20 or more. At the 22,000 square foot factory next to the airport, Window Craft hand-builds six varieties of windows, vertical and horizontal sliders, and window screens that match the windows.

Ghost tales add new spirit to home History of my hometown takes on a new aura, thanks to spooky tales By Elwyn Pratt

Special to the Journal

To a 19-year-old islander like myself, island history is all ghost stories. I’ve seen old photographs of shadoweyed fisherman and sepia houses, and I hear a creak every time I step into an old building downtown. But I have never been aware of the stories within the history, the ghoulish tales passed from the Elwyn Pratt lips of locals that are just as important as our record books. I was privileged to hear some of these legends when genealogy researcher Robin Jacobson and Town of Friday Harbor historic preservation coordinator Sandy Strehlou led a tour of familiar spots in Friday Harbor and shared ghost stories from islanders alongside historic descriptions of each building in observance of Heritage Month. These spooky accounts dated back to the early 1900s, when cannery workers relaxed at the local saloon and residents paid for their telephone subscriptions in salmon. The best story actually happened a few years ago. Dilys Goodman, the co-owner of Serendipity Used Bookstore (223 A Street), saw something unusual as she opened up shop one cold morning. “I saw a woman looking out of the window at me,” she recalls. The woman that Goodman thought was an optical illusion had a pale face and wore a long black duster coat. Later, a descendant of one of the families that lived in the building that would become Serendipity visited Goodman with a family photo album. “There was a photograph of this woman that I had seen,” Goodman says. “I’m not very susceptible to this kind of thing, but I got chills up the back of my spine.” The photograph was of Lena Wilson, who had lived in Friday Harbor in the ‘60s. Dilys is self-described as being very down-to-earth (“I don’t do crystals, I don’t do all these strange spiritual

things,” she told me), but she is sure of what she saw. The ghost tales have chilling connections to island history. Employees at the Whale Museum (62 N. 1st Street) often hear footsteps in the second floor late at night, believing them to be of Richard Straub, the first and only person to be sentenced to death by hanging on San Juan Island. A mysterious Walter, who was a real guest at the original Friday Harbor Inn, has Contributed photo / Lopez Historical Society been seen and heard in what is now Windermere Real Does the spirit of Lena Wilson, Estate (50 Spring Street) long center (circle) shown here flanked by family members since his death. Jacobson Thelma and John, still reside in said that though these sto- Friday Harbor? ries may not be real, they are important because they make us curious about our town’s past. After all, many of the buildings in Friday Harbor hold a whole century’s worth of stories within their walls. Though she is now known as much as a ghost story enthusiast as she is a genealogist, Jacobson has not encountered any spirits herself. “I’ve tried hard to experience ghosts,” she says after the tour. “I’ve got nothing.” She’s had close calls, though. One day, Jacobson went into the Whale Museum early to get some materials for a talk that day, and she heard footsteps above her. Thinking that this could be her moment, she proceeded up the stairs, expecting to find Richard Straub walking among the whale skeletons. Instead, she ran into Joe Gaydos of the SeaDoc Society. “I thought you were the ghost!,” she had exclaimed. “What ghost?,” he replied. “Well, it’s a long story…”

assemble the two bridges. Both Acrow and Atkinson confirmed that the target for completion of the temporary project is mid-June - a timetable several weeks sooner than first estimated by state officials. Total cost of the temporary and permanent bridges was estimated last week at $15 million, almost all from federal transportation funds. One million dollars was released almost immediately by federal officials according published reports. The temporary bridges will each carry two lanes of traffic northbound and southbound and are designed to carry fully loaded I-5 trucks, although a Washington Department of Transportation spokesman said that DOT would probably limit trucks to less than 80,000 pounds maximum weight and keep speed limits below the present 60 milesper-hour. Still-standing parts of the bridge and supporting foundations have been inspected and cleared for continued use by a team of state and federal bridge inspectors and engineers. DOT engineers are already at work assembling information and specifications to be used in designing the permanent replacement bridge.

PeaceHealth recently terminated negotiations for a joint operating agreement with Franciscan Health Systems of Washington and Oregon, a unit of Denver-based Catholic

Health Initiatives, one of the nations largest operators of Catholic-affiliated hospitals and medical centers. One signer of the ACLU letter is Monica Harrington, co-chairwoman of Washington Women for Choice. Harrington has been a critic of the agreement under which the taxfunded San Juan County Hospital District provides a subsidy of $1 million per year to PeaceHealth’s Peace Island Medical Center for provision of care for San Juan County residents at the newly opened hospital and clinic in Friday Harbor. Other groups signing the letter include Compassion and Choices Washington, Mt. Baker Planned Parenthood and PFLAG Washington State Council. — Steve Wehrly

Make: Continued from page 1 Many products are custom designed and built, and all products are designed and constructed to withstand severe environmental stresses. Because he has an expensive high-tech computer-controlled router and a plant full of high-quality woodworking equipment, Marsaudon does millwork for local builders, but he mostly keeps his focus on his basic product line. But Marsaudon attributes some of Window Craft’s success to staying focused on windows. “For me, it’s a mistake to try to do too much. Stick with what you know you can do well,” he advises. Rather than expand into doors, Marsaudon forged an alliance with NorthStar Woodworks to provide custom-made doors that match Window Craft designs and quality. As a manufacturer of relatively large items, Window Craft relies on truck and ferry shipping to bring in wood and glass and ship out the finished windows. Referring to his close working relationship with local and regional transportation companies and with suppliers, Marsauden explains that “arrangements had to be made, not only for shipping, but for servicing our equipment.” Personable and outgoing, Marsaudon says continuing close relationships with builders, suppliers, shippers and customers are one key to his business. “Everybody loves to come to San Juan Island, many with their families,” he explains. They can appreciate his 22,000 square foot factory and modern equipment. And his customers, many of them from coastal communities, also appreciate the lifestyle. That “fine island lifestyle” suits both Marsaudon and his cadre of loyal employees. Marsaudon and his eleven employees (two in the office) are all proud of their company and their island home - and intend to stay with both. “The quality of life - that’s what this place has. And we all love it,” Marsaudon says. Lacrimedics Where Luxel and Window Craft have “niche markets” and relatively small production runs, Lacrimedics, Inc., has a worldwide mass market and production runs of many thousands of tiny “corneal plugs”. The medical-grade silicone and collagen plugs are used in the diagnosis and treatment of dry eyes, an affliction that affects an estimated 16 million people in the U.S. and 40 million people worldwide, especially senior citizens. Lacrimedics manufactures more than 2 million plugs per year. “We couldn’t be happier, both personally and businesswise,” says Robert Herrick II, of his 1999 move to Orcas Island from southern California. “It was a package deal,” said Herrick. “Orcas offered a good business climate, including good taxation, goods schools and high family and quality-of-life values,” he continued. The business was founded in 1984 by Herrick’s father, Robert Herrick, M.D., an ophthalmologist who continues a four-office “corneal

health” practice in California. The family vacationed in the San Juans for many years before deciding to move the Lacrimedics business to Eastsound in 1999. All products are manufactured in Eastsound. They include Collagen Plugs, Synthetic Dissolvable Plugs, and a long-term silicone plug. Molding of the silicone plug is done in Chicago on a Lacrimedics-owned injection molding machine, but the rest of the manufacturing is done on Orcas Island. Lacrimedics is doing research and development for a fourth product, also to be manufactured in Eastsound. All products must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration, which inspects all Lacrimedics facilities every two years, and two products are approved for sale in the European Union; they are audited annually in order to maintain the “CE Mark.” They also distribute a product for another company, and private label one of the products for two separate companies. These four companies, and the dozen or so companies that make and sell other products in the islands, demonstrate that there’s more than tourism and local government to generating income in the San Juan Islands.

Praise for ‘Poppy Days’ support

The Friday Harbor American Legion Auxiliary would like to thank these businesses and individuals for their generous support of our annual “Poppy Days” event: Friday Harbor Drug Store, King’s Market, The Market Place and Gordy Petersen, of “Gordy’s Corner”. The Auxiliary would also like to express its deepest thanks to all those who purchased poppies during this annual Memorial Day observance, May 19-31. The poppies are made by disabled veterans and all proceed from the sales stay on-island to help support our many veterans and their families. We would also like to extend a sincere “Thank You” to Mayor Carrie Lacher and to the Town of Friday Harbor for their proclamation in recognition of the auxiliary’s annual Poppy Day fundraiser. Marie Skuffeeda Poppy Day chairwoman, American Auxiliary Post 163

Potholes on Orcas? Heads should roll

Dear Commissioners; A few weeks ago I called Frank Mulcahy, your head of the Public Works Department, to express my concern and outrage over the surface being torn off of the Mt. Baker and North Beach Road inter-

change weeks before necessary. From the many “thank yous” I received from my fellow Orcas residents, I appeared to be dead-on with my comments. It seems that most people do not want to stick their neck out and publicly comment on issues that affect them. I have never had a business relationship with your chosen contractor so I had nothing to lose. Mr. Mulcahy suggested that I call his man on Orcas. I told him that if his man on Orcas had been doing his job my call would not have been necessary. I think the contractor took some mitigation measures to hold down the dust a few weeks ago and the recent rain has made watering unnecessary. However, the areas in question now are massively pot-holed, not as bad as a third-world country, but for Orcas Island, one of the richest areas in the state, this is nothing less than a “Shonda”. That is Yiddish for disgrace. The head of Public Works on Orcas should be immediately terminated. This individual has no eyes and appears to be unable to do the job effectively. As a taxpayer I find it abhorrent at the idea of filling openings with people unable to do the job. On a different note, I was somewhat bemused at the county’s feel-good offer to help the state over the bridge collapse. Why don’t you get our own house in order before making feel good gestures. Potholes on one of the busiest corners on Orcas reflect on you directly. If you can’t facilitate a reason-

Patients’ rights at the crossroads Bon voyage Lax enforcement of state law puts access Class of 2013 to healthcare at risk; time for change

C

ongratulations to the 87 graduates of Friday Harbor High School, Spring Street International School, Skagit Valley Community College and Griffin Bay High School. You deserve praise for your accomplishments and encouragement for your future endeavors. Your parents, teachers, friends and siblings are sure to be behind you to urge you forward when your path is uncertain, to persevere when things get tough, to stay positive when things go wrong. Some of you have appeared in these pages before and some of you will appear in future editions — when you’re recognized for future education attainments, when you marry, when you get a big promotion or catch a big fish. We look forward to sharing those milestones with our readers and with the community. It seems safe to say that today’ graduates are faced with a future that is perhaps more uncertain than that of their parents, or their grandparents. There are now 7 billion people inhabiting the planet, sharing — or fighting over — its natural resources and vying with competitors worldwide for economic gain. At the same time, the graduates of the Class of 2013 most likely view the world in a way that their parents or grandparents never could have imagined at the time they walked across a stage to receive a diploma so many years ago. The rise of the internet and advent of social media, like Facebook, are only two of the many examples of how when you think you know the game, the rules change. Stay flexible, both in mind and in spirit. One definition of “graduation” is a mark or a level on a measuring instrument. In that sense, what you experience this week is a measuring point — a point in your life that you can use to gauge where you are now — and where you want to be. It really doesn’t tell you where you were last month or last year, and it can’t predict the marks you will make in the future. The marks you inscribe on your future life story will change, month to month, year to year. Sometimes it will reach your dreams and expectations, sometimes it won’t. But it’s your to make, so make it count.

n January 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that religious institutions have a “ministerial exception” that allows them to hire and fire without being subject to anti-discrimination laws. The decision was sweeping and applies to any worker who, in the eyes of a religious institution, is considered to be advancing its religious mission. In a case now before the Washington state Supreme Court, Franciscan Health, a subsidiary of PeaceHealth’s once-intended partner, Catholic Health Initiatives, is arguing that a security guard is a “minister” under the law. According to Chief Justice John Roberts’ writeup of last year’s decision, an animating principle behind the First Amendment’s religious liberty clauses was “to prohibit government interference in the internal affairs of religious groups.” The government shouldn’t interfere in how religions conduct their affairs. But the government shouldn’t fund religion either. And that’s why Washington state policy makers must stay true to the language in our Constitution that, “no public money shall….support any religious establishment.” Because too many people were previously lax in enforcing our Constitution, Washington state now has the highest percentage of Catholic healthcare system ownership and/or control of any state in the nation. Make no mistake: These institutions answer to the Catholic bishops. In a public meeting last year, PeaceHealth’s Sister Kathleen Pruitt said very clearly, “We will not disobey the bishop.” She was talking about Archbishop J. Peter Sartain, the cleric tasked by the Vatican with bringing Catholic nuns into line on issues like fighting contraception, same-sex

marriage, and abortion under all circumstances. Part of Sartain’s mission is to ensure that the religious institutions founded and traditionally run by nuns adhere to all of the bishops’ Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care, which forbid, among other things, contraception, abortion under all circumstances – even when a mother’s life is at stake, Monica Harrington any participation with Death with Dignity, and any procedure or intervention that conflicts with Catholic doctrine. It was in this spirit that Sartain “requested” that PeaceHealth quit running lab tests for Planned Parenthood patients in Bellingham last year, a request that would have put patient lives at risk, especially in the event of an ectopic pregnancy. As Washington’s Catholic hospital systems pass from the nuns’ control to the control of highly compensated lay professionals, they are only going to become more rigid and doctrinal. A “feisty” nun could sometimes ignore the bishop; an executive whose million-dollar paycheck depends on the local bishop’s approval will not. In 2011, the Providence CEO who was in charge at the time the deal was struck to take over Swedish (a deal that almost certainly had to be approved by the bishop) made $6.3 million. Expanding the bishops’ sphere of control is big business. All of this is why issues of religious interference in health care are front and center now in Washington state. We’re currently awaiting the Attorney General’s opinion on the question Kevin Ranker posed in early April. Last week a group of advocates, led by Planned Parenthood Votes, raised concerns about UW Medicines’ See Crossroads, Page 8

Obituaries

Dorothy May Lawson: 1918 — 2013 Dorothy May Lawson passed away peacefully in the early hours of May 16, 2013, just one day short of her 95th birthday. She was a fourth-generation islander and one of five children born to Edward and Esther Dougherty on May 17, 1918 in Friday Harbor. She grew up in the family home on the westside of the island where both of her parents were employed at the Cowell Limekiln, her father a cooper and her mother a cook. The family lived through the Great Depression by working hard and knowing how to make ends meet. Dorothy was united in marriage to John R. Lawson, who also was born and raised on San Juan Island. They had two daughters, Jo Ann and Catherine, and together, they ran their family farm on Cattle Point Road, which included sheep, cattle, chickens, and geese. In addition to being a homemaker and helping with the farm, Dorothy worked for many years as a switchboard operator for the local telephone company. John also worked in logging and bulldozing and built many of the ponds on the island. With hard work ethics always intact, they took care and provided well for their family and extended families. In December of 1983, John passed away and Dorothy eventually sold the

farm and moved into town where she resided until December 2010, when she moved to Mount Vernon to live with daughter Catherine. She was an accomplished toile painter, crafter and talented needle worker, crocheting many beautiful intricately patterned doilies for friends and family. For nearly 30 years, she was director of the Friday Harbor Food Bank and served as president. She was recognized by the American Red Cross as a “Real Hero” for her tireless efforts on behalf of the Food Bank and was honored in April 2009 in a regional award ceremony in Anacortes. The annual Dorothy Lawson Food Drive was originally organized by the San Juan County Realtors Association and later named in her honor. She was named Citizen of the Year in 2010, and Mayor Carrie Lacher proclaimed Dec. 17, 2010 as Dorothy Lawson Day, as she officially retired from her duties at the Food Bank. She was preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Esther Dougherty, husband John R. Lawson, brothers Ernest Dougherty and Edward J. Dougherty, sisters Josephine Dougherty and Edna Johnson. She is survived by her daughters Jo Ann (Nick) DeAngelis, Spokane and Catherine Ferguson, Mount Vernon;

Brickworks ‘beautified’ by student art The latest addition to Friday Harbor’s Brickworks Plaza is a student-led community art project. Conceived and created by Spring Street International School’s 5th-7th grade creative arts class, under the guidance of art teacher Cloud Oakes, the project features eight murals painted by the 21-person class that were installed along the fence by the plaza’s “green space” at the end of April. Inspired by the “History of Farming in the San Juans”, the murals will be on display through the end of the summer. From the beginning, in fall 2012, to its end, the project taught the students not only a lot about mural art but about their community and being involved, Oakes said. The students toured the historical museum to learn about the history of island farming, were coached on the elements of mural art by artist Annie Howe Adams and followed her advice, “use big brushes and make strokes”, and toured Peace Island Medical Center to see the history-of-islandmedical care mural project created by Adams and absorbed a 2-hour talk about the

work behind each piece on display. The students also reached out to the San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild to inquire about the group hosting the murals at the Brickworks courtyard and wrote letters of request to the Guild on their own. Equally instructive and important, Oakes said, the students followed through after receiving the Guild’s approval, shepherding the project to its culmination with installation of the murals at the end of April. — Scott Rasmussen

“groundbreaking strategic affiliation” with PeaceHealth. And on May 31, a group of patient rights’ advocates, led by the ACLU, asked Governor Inslee to postpone all hospital mergers for six months until the broader ramifications of these issues can be fully assessed. Many people also expect at least one of these merger cases to be tested soon on Constitutional grounds. Here on San Juan Island, it seems likely that the peo-

ple who put together the hospital deal either had no idea how aggressive and assertive the Catholic bishops intended to be when it comes to enforcing their “right” to interfere, or they didn’t care. In any event, now that we all know, it is time to insist that our state’s leaders enforce the Constitution so that patient rights and taxpayer rights are respected, and so that our scarce public resources can be applied to healthcare that operates free of religious interference. — Editor's note: Co-chairwoman of Washington Women for Choice, Monica Harrington is a part-time resident of San Juan Island.

Fleet of foot Traversing the ACT

Journal photo / Scott Rasmussen

ACT benefactor Laura Nishitani cuts the ribbon at the grand opening of the American Camp Trail in Friday Harbor. By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

I

t may not fit the definition in the classic sense of the word. But the American Camp Trail, part gravel, part grass, part paved road, is open for business just the same. “Any day you get to walk outdoors is a good day,” David Zeretske of the San Juan Island Trails Committee said at the ACT’s June 1 ribboncutting ceremony and grand opening. “And any day you can do that without having to drive a car is an even better day.” Fittingly, the trail’s grand opening coincided with National Trails Day. More than a decade in the making, the American Camp Trail links the town of Friday Harbor to the south end of San Juan Island by way of a series of interconnected pathways, roadshoulder segments, private-property easements and more than a few trails that even the most purist of hiker would have to dub as authentic. It spans roughly six miles from end to end, beginning on Friday Harbor Airport property near the Office Center, across Spring Street from Hartman Field, and emerging beside San Juan Island National Historical Park’s visitor’s center at American Camp, or visa versa. It’s about a two-hour trek to traverse the length of the ACT on foot, as several hearty souls can attest to after traveling its entirety on the heels of the opening ceremony. And though free now of any dead ends or roadblocks, the trail remains a work in progress, Zeretske said. “There’s about six or seven sections without easements, and some of that road frontage is pretty substantial,” he said, notably along Cattle Point Road. “If we had those we’d be entirely off-road.” In the meantime, visitors and islanders alike can take a leisurely stroll from Friday Harbor to American Camp simply by placing one foot in front of the other, or simply saunter along a section of the trail and feel the ground beneath their feet. Which is what Alice Hurd, one of the many property owners who has donated a trail easement, typically likes to do. “I love the idea of getting

from Point A to Point B on the island without getting in the car,” Hurd said. “From my house I can walk to American Camp or to Friday Harbor. We had some property along the road that’s not developed and an easement just seemed like a good idea.” The ACT stands as a testament to the power of the public-private partnership. It would not exist without the numerous easements donated by land owners, including the 25 homeowners who share the Fairway Drive neighborhood’s private road. It piggy-backs on trails established by the Port of Friday Harbor, the Land Bank and the National Parks Service, and skirts along the shoulders of several sections of road managed and maintained by the San Juan County Department of Public Works. The trail would also not exist without the vision, tenacity and manual labor of members of the San Juan Island Trails Committee, which operates under the flag of San Juan Island’s Park and Recreation District, Island Rec. All those agencies, entities and individuals played an important part in bringing what a decade ago was only an idea into reality, longtime Island Rec Commissioner Bill Cumming said. “There was an unbelievable amount of time spent around a table drawing maps, planning ahead, figuring out all the details,” Cumming said. “And this is the payoff. It’s a visible tribute to all that hard work, and more importantly our citizens now have a trail to walk on.” For more about SJI Trails Committee, and island trails, visit, www. sanjuanislandtrails. org.

‘Multiple Raven’, by Trevor Hunt

Art, ancestry and traditions of Vancouver Island’s Kwakiutl First Nation’s Peoples come together in a special exhibition at Arctic Raven Gallery, featuring brothers Trevor and Jason Hunt. The exhibition, entitled “Through the Eyes of the Raven”, offers an opportunity to experience art from an artists’ perspective, and from that of their ancestors as well. The exhibition opens June 8, at the Friday Harbor gallery, 130 South First Street. “When we carve, our ancestors carve,” Trevor Hunt says. “Through my eyes, others can see and through my hands, others can feel.” Descended from Raven

Clan on Vancouver Island, Jason and Trevor Hunt hail from a long line of acclaimed carvers. They often work closely with their father, the renowned carver Stanley Hunt. Their grandfather, the iconic Henry Hunt, was for most of his adult life the head carver at Victoria’s Thunderbird Park. Their great grandfather, Mungo Martin, is said to have embodied Kwakiutl culture and dedicated his life to carving in public at a time when the making of Kwakiutl art had been outlawed.

The NIEA contest recognizes self-published books that rival those printed and circulated by mainstream publishers. The competition is judged by independent experts associated with the indie book industry, including publishers, writers, editors, designers and professional copywriters. Finalists and awardwinners are chosen based on overall excellence. “Not only did we receive an unprecedented number of entries, but the quality and sophistication of the books submitted were at a whole new level of excellence,” said Ellen Reid, CEO of NIEA. Courtney lives on San Juan Island with her husband, Wayne Fitzgerald, a former film industry professional. Her award-winning debut novel, “Wild Nights”, is available at Amazon. com, www.porterchancebooks, and at Griffin Bay Bookstore and San Juan Island Co-op.

If you missed Washington State Parks’ June 1 “free day” don’t fret, there’s more to come. In fact, state Parks will offer seven more park for “free days” through the end of the year. Visitors are not required to display a Discover Pass, or purchase a day-pass, to park at any state park on a free day, including Lime Kiln State Park. The next “free days” are June 8 and June 9. Free days are in keeping with legislation that created the Discover Pass, a $30 annual fee, or $10 one-day permit, required to park on recreation lands managed by State Parks, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and Department of Natural Resources. That legislation allows Parks to designate up to 12 “free days”. The free days apply only at state parks; the Discover Pass is still required to access DFW and DNR lands. Free days schedule: June 8 & 9 (National Get Outdoors Day), Aug. 4 (Peak season free day), Sept. 28 (National Public Lands Day), Nov. 9-11 (Veterans Day Weekend).

Per RCW 79.100, San Juan County intends to take custody of two derelict, unnamed grounded reef netter vessels on Lopez Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fisherman Bay, with no Washington registrations, on June 15th, 2013 The ves-

sels are beached in mud flats off of Land Band property in Fisherman Bay, Lopez Island, San Juan County, with no registrations and are in poor condition. Also we intend to take custody of a 21â&#x20AC;&#x2122; mastless sailboat, WN6887JF â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lawnmowerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, beached at the county dock in Eastsound, Orcas Island, San Juan County on June 17th. After taking custody, San Juan County may use or dispose of the vessels without further notice. To retain custody of these vessels before the Custody Date, the owner must: 1) notify the coordinator below and 2) remove the vessels from the beach. Registration and seaworthiness should also be addressed. To redeem these vessels once San Juan County has taken custody, per RCW 53.08.320 (5) (b), the owner must commence a lawsuit to contest San Juan Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to obtain custody of the vessels, or the amount of reimbursement owed, in the superior court of the county in which the vessels are located. The written request can be submitted immediately but cannot be filed any later than the tenth day after the date of custody, which will be June 25th, 2013 for the reef netters and June 27th for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lawnmowerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The right to a hearing is deemed

waived if a request is submitted late, and the owner is liable for any costs owed to San Juan County. These costs may include all administrative costs incurred by San Juan County, removal and disposal costs, and costs associated with environmental damages directly or indirectly caused by the vessels. In the event of litigation, the prevailing party is entitled to reasonable attorneysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fees and costs. San Juan County reserves the right to pursue any other remedies available under law. For more information, contact J. K.

Bates nets 2nd place at WGC Invite A little time away from the course apparently paid dividends for San Juan Island’s Ron Bates. Bates fired a 148 over 36 holes to claim second place at the 48th annual Whidbey Golf Club Men’s Invitational May 25 and 26, on Whidbey Island. The two-time winner of the San Juan Golf & Country Club championship and three-time winner of the San Juan Open finished four strokes behind Doug Pierce, who claimed the Invite title by shooting a par 72 on each day of the two-day tournament. With the victory, Pierce, a golf coach at Sedro-Woolley High School, snapped a string of five-straight Whidbey Invitational titles by Oak Harbor High School

graduate Eric McCardle, who chose not to compete this year. Though pleased with his performance, and despite having played a total of only 10 rounds before competing at the Invite, Bates said that he felt a few butterflies while taking on the field in one of the region’s more competitive golfing showcases. “It was the most pressure I’d felt in a long time,” said Bates, a 4-handicap. “There are big galleries and lots of spectators following you around, in a lot of ways it’s just like a PGA event.”

Co-champions Brad Willamson of Islanders Bank and King 5 News’ Jesse Jones celebrate a shared victory following the 27th annual San Juan Island Celebrity Golf Classic, June 1, at San Juan Golf and Country Club.

Pity the poor soul who does the engraving. As the late afternoon sun settled on San Juan Golf & Country Club, not just one, but two 5-person teams competing in the 27th Annual Celebrity Golf Classic finished the 18-hole fundraising event with a score of 59. That means a total of 10 names will need to be engraved on the classic’s coveted John O. Linde Memorial trophy. Nearly a dozen local non-profits, such as the Family Resource Center, Relay For Life and Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center will benefit from proceeds from the annual fundraiser, the island’s longest-running charitable event. The San Juan Property Management team, fronted by celebrity television news reporter Jesse Jones, making his classic debut, and featuring Friday Harbor High School’s Kendra Meeker, will share NSWERS TO UZZLES the 2013 Classic title with Islanders Bank, the event’s title sponsor. “There’s nothing ‘meek’ about that Meeker,” Jones said of the high school junior’s prowess on the golf course.
