CAO Boost in funds spurs new projects yields mixed results By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
San Juan County will be headed back to the drawing board with its critical areas ordinance. In a decision handed down Sept. 6, the Washington State Growth Management Hearings Board determined that while much of the ordinance satisfies goals of the state Growth Management Act, there remain 10 elements of the controversial revision of the county CAO that do not comply with state law. From buffer widths to best available science, and from wetland water quality protection to exemptions allowed for utilities in public and private right-ofways, 10 portions of the CAO will need to be revisited and reconstructed as a result of the Hearings Board ruling. In spite of the shortcomings, Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord said the ruling is a welcomed result. “Overall, this is a positive ruling for the county,” Gaylord said in a press release. “The Growth Board upheld the county’s extraordinary public participation process, the method of identifying and designating critical areas, and the site-specific approach to calculating buffer sizes.” The 1990 Growth Management Act and 1998 amendments to the GMA mandated that local governments prepare and periodically review See Results, Page 4

By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
To find a large stack of mail to sift through after returning from a longoverdue vacation was to be expected. But within that stack was one letter that caught Diane Martindale almost completely by surprise. “I had resigned myself to ‘well that didn’t happen’,” Martindale said of an appointment to the Washington State Arts Commission. “I thought the time period of when the appointments would be made and announced had already passed. And I hadn’t heard anything.”
After weathering a severe budget downturn, the Town of Friday Harbor appears to be in recovery mode. The proof can be seen in the streets, especially on Spring Street, from Mullis to the waterfront. And in meetings of the town council, where plans are being perused and projects approved. Economic activity and tax receipts grew in 2012, in large part because of construction of Peace Island Medical Center. For 2013, although sales tax revenues are still below prerecession levels, they are rising steadily, as are lodging tax receipts. Gary Franklin of Windermere reports increased activity in real estate this summer and looks forward to even stronger sales in 2014. David Nash of Nash Brother Sporting Goods says summer sales were the best in five years, and post-Labor Day traffic has been “strong.” Because reserves in various town funds are healthy, necessary maintenance and some improvements could be budgeted, according to Town Administrator Duncan Wilson.

Instead, the governor’s office just hadn’t gotten around to considering applications or new appointments to various state boards because of unfinished state budgetary business that prompted a special six-week session of the
state legislature and interrupted a timely appointment process. Martindale opened the envelope to discover that, by appointment of Gov. Jay Inslee, she is now San Juan County’s first-ever represenSee HEart, Page 4

Sailboat struck by ferry, sinks near Lopez
A 28-foot sailboat sank after it was struck by the Hyak ferry on Sept. 13. The lone occupant, a man in his mid-60s, was taken to Peace Island Medical Center on San Juan Island but did not sustain major injuries. Several eyewitnesses reported that the ferry collided with a sailboat called the Norma Rae. At around 2 p.m., Suzanne Lyons saw the mast of the Norma Rae crack and heard the screeching of the sailboat hitting the side of the ferry. “An older man was sitting on the boat as it was sinking,” said Lyons, who was in her car at the time of the incident. The ferry left Anacortes at 12:35 p.m. and landed on Lopez at 1:30 p.m. Another witness on the ferry, Michael Bried, said the accident occurred after the boat left Lopez and was heading toward Orcas. “The sailboat was a mile north of Lopez in the middle of the shipping lane,” said Bried. A Fish and Wildlife boat towed the sailboat away, but it later sank in 250 feet of water. “I don’t know why the ferry pilot didn’t see the sailboat,” Bried said. “It was a clear day.” Contributed photo / Michael Bried The accident forced the cancellation of the 2:20 p.m. sailing from Orcas to Anacortes.

Former employee accused of $16K lottery ticket theft
A San Juan Island man accused of embezzling nearly $17,000 in scratch-off lottery tickets while employed at a Friday Harbor convenience store is slated to stand trial for felony theft in midNovember. On Aug. 30, Miles Spencer Crossen, 57, pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of first-degree felony theft. He was released under court orders pending a Nov. 18 trial date. According to court documents, prosecutors
claim that Crossen, while on duty, marked off hundreds of scratch-off tickets without first having activated them with a store scanner over a six-month stretch beginning in July, 2012. He allegedly discarded losing tickets in the store trash and redeemed the winners for cash at various island stores. The store owner reportedly witnessed a series of scratch-off thefts after reviewing footage from a surveillance camera, which has since been taped-over by more recent footage.
When confronted by the store owner, Crossen reportedly admitted to the theft and, according to court records, acknowledged it in a signed and notarized affidavit. A Class B felony, first-degree theft carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both; however, the standard range of sentencing set by the state is 2-6 months in jail. — Scott Rasmussen
Sheriff’s Log San Juan County Sheriff ’s Department reported responding to these calls: Aug. 16: A late-night detour into a ditch prompted the arrest of a Lopez Island woman for DUI. The 63-year-old was taken into custody in the 6000 block of Fisherman Bay Road shortly before midnight after she reportedly failed a series of field sobriety tests. Aug. 17: A 35-year-old Orcas Island man was flown off-island for treatment of a fractured femur and possible hip injury after his paraglider crashed on Deer Harbor Road only moments before touchdown.

The 56-year-old, behind the wheel of a black Cherokee jeep at the time, was pulled over near the intersection of A and First
streets at about 8 a.m. n A dispute over an assigned parking space at a Friday Harbor apartment complex erupted into an altercation and subsequent noontime arrest of a San Juan Island man for harassment and assault. The 51-year-old, reportedly enraged that a taxi was parked in a space assigned to him, tried without success to first use his car as a blockade, hurled trash and profanities at the driver as he maneuvered around it, then used his body to prevent the taxi from leaving and allegedly punched the driver in an ensuing confrontation. After retaliating, the driver reportedly stumbled back

Its mission is to speak to the value of public art, build leadership from and for the arts, strengthen art education in the schools, document the economic impact of the arts, and acquire and care for artwork in the official state art collection, much of which is on display at the state’s K-12 public schools, colleges, universities and state agencies.

Although skilled in the craft of quilt making, Martindale, owner of Acquisitions, an art consulting business, downplays her artistic talents. But as an advocate and ambassador of the arts, Martindale believes that her enthusiasm and energy would rival just about anyone’s. A former marketing consultant specializing in the medical equipment industry, Martindale is chairwoman of the library’s art committee, a member of the Island Arts League board of directors and the San Juan County Arts Council, an advisor to the San Juan Islands Museum of Art (she authored and landed grants to fund IMA’s public schools art education project and Family Arts Days), and a supporter of the 100 Friends of Old Island Barns. She also volunteers with the Community Arts Theatre Society, is a member of Women in the Visual and Literary Arts and was a board member of the Houston Ebony Opera Guild before relocating to San Juan Island. “In my cover letter with my application I said that there are probably plenty of people more qualified than me for the position,” Martindale recalls. “But I also said that my dedication and enthusiasm for the arts would rival just about anyone’s.” The state arts commission consists of 19 appointees who serve three-year terms. Martindale, one of four new commission appointees, expects to begin her tenure at the panel’s first meeting in November. She anticipates being inundated with homework, numerous grant applications will need to be reviewed, to get up to speed and to be prepared for that meeting. And that’s precisely where she had hoped to be. “The arts are always changing,” she said. “You just never get bored.” For more information the Washington State Arts Commission, visit www.artswa.gov.

Each student’s portfolio consists of 24 original works that are evaluated by nine judges. Since Andy Anderson took over the art program in 2009, every student’s portfolios received college credit qualifying scores of 3 or higher. For the second consecutive year, all portfolios earned the highest possible scores. Last year, Will Kromer’s portfolio was showcased on the College Boards AP website. “I am extremely proud of all of the accomplishments of my art students,” Anderson said. “Their hard work and dedication has really paid off.”
yet to be implemented on the ground. The council in April postponed putting the rules into effect until March 2014, in part because of complexity and pending litigation. Five different groups contested various elements of the CAO. Gaylord noted that those lawsuits, filed by Common Sense Alliance, P.J. Taggares Company, William Wright, San Juan Builders Association and Friends of the San Juans, together raised 90 different issues ruled on by the Hearings Board. According to the Common Sense Alliance, the decision by the Hearings Board leaves the county with a faulty, unenforceable ordinance because it declined to rule on whether critical areas had been properly designated by the county. The CSA contends that the CAO unlawfully interferes with use of private property. “…this flawed and incomplete decision leaves San Juan County with an unenforceable ordinance and the specter of an unknown number of
future lawsuits brought by individuals who are denied the use their property,” CSA said in a press release. “An unenforceable ordinance protects nothing and furthers the uncertainty in the real estate market that has been plaguing our county for so long.” In the end, the hearing boards sided with 10 points contested by Friends. “The Growth Board’s decision gives the county another opportunity to adequately protect critical areas like wetlands, streams, and shorelines,” Friends Executive Director Stephanie Buffum said. “Although we disagree with some portions of the decision, we agree with the Growth Board that the islands’ fish and wildlife need realistic buffers for clean water and habitat to house them.” The ruling by the hearings board can be contested by any party involved in the litigation. The county will have until March 5 to revised elements that don’t comply with state law; a compliance hearing is slated for April 24.

A year old, a new name… oh Joy! More than 2,500 votes cast in Whale Museum’s latest orca calf naming contest The ballots are in. Votes have been counted, and the killer whale calf known in the scientific realm as L-119 has a new name. Oh, Joy. The competition was close. But with more than 2,500 votes were cast in The Friday Harbor Whale Museum’s most recent naming contest, in which Joy edged out the pack by roughly 100 votes. Entry into the museum’s naming contest means that Joy, or L-119, survived its first winter and will be entered into the museum’s Orca Adoption Program. Launched in 1984, the program seeks to create a bond between people and the Southern resident killer whales by giving each newborn calf a name, a history and thereby an opportunity to better understand the complex social relationships that exists within the killer whale community.

Projects: On Mullis St., from Spring St. to the new airport pilot’s kiosk, a $190,000 sidewalk project is underway, much of it funded by a Washington State Transportation Improvement Board 90/10 match.

Wilson says funding for the $8 to $9 million project has yet to be found, but he is hopeful that a loan and grant package from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development service can be obtained. Planning continues on a $1.6 million complete rebuild of Blair Avenue, between Spring and Guard streets, scheduled to begin in May. Ninety percent state funding has been budgeted, but money for Park Street to Spring Street portion has not been identified. The new corner paving at Marguerite and Spring is finished, costing $7,500, a project Wilson put on his personal list when he first arrived last year.

Sunshine Alley, between First and Nichols streets is high on the list. A request for qualifications for a consultant to plan the future of Sunshine Alley was responded to by seven urban plan consultants. The town budgeted $30,000 and promises to conduct a public process for the plan. “Sunshine Alley has the potential to be the heart of Friday Harbor,” Wilson said. The town wants to devise a tourism master plan, with 11 elements. A request for proposals for consulting services for preparation of the plan received only two responses, both of which suggested that the plan’s parameters were too broad. Wilson said the council will be revising the RFP with a narrower scope. $70,000 has been allocated for the tourism plan work. Wilson is also preparing an “infrastructure report” which outlines mediumterm plans for work on roads.

Debate over coal tainted by alarm
With respect to all the artWith respect to all the articles, features and letters hyperventilating about the proposed coal terminal, might I point out that we have had a huge one next door to us at Tswassen, British Columbia for decades and there is no indication that the sky has fallen, or that anything has changed but for the better for locals.
A comparison of the Tswassen area to the Whatcom side reveals some obvious benefits of a strong tax base and stable, wellpaying jobs. Consider an academic study commissioned by the Washington State Farm Bureau that concludes many benefits in multiple areas from the construction and operation of the terminal and not just agriculture. The conclusions are for greater and more efficient export/import infrastructure for all kinds of trade, with many of the economic benefits most likely underestimated, even by SSA’s own analysis.

As I See It
Up close, personal: ease, efficiency of fixed-wing ambulance Evolution of medical emergency flights offer the best of both worlds
I
By Marilyn (LaBar) Nasman
am grateful for both fixed wing and helicopter ambulance service on our island. As a 41-year-resident of San Juan Island, I have seen some dramatic positive changes in air evacuation. Ten days ago I wrote the following thank you letter to the EMS service and Island Air. Recent concerns over the fixed-wing service cause me to make my letter public. To: Jim Cole, San Juan Island EMS, Jackie Hamilton, Island Air I found myself in a “time capsule” two weeks ago. I stood on the tarmac of the Bellingham Airport at one o’clock in the morning watching my husband being transferred from Island Air’s fixed-wing ambulance plane to the waiting ambulance ready for the journey to the cardiac care unit of St. Joe’s hospital. We had been transported from our boat at Shipyard Cove to the new Peace Island Hospital by the EMS personnel. After a determination at the local hospital that my husband’s heart was in need of attention by specialists, Jackie’s team was called into duty to join the EMS for the evacuation to Bellingham. We left the new local hospital with its wonderful team of skill and support to be transported to the Friday Harbor Airport. It is here where my memory of

40-plus years on the island came full circle. My late husband, Les Labar, the founder of Aeronautical Services, had been a pioneer in fixed wing medical evacuation to St. Luke’s Hospital in Bellingham in the late 1970s. I remember our original Cessna 207; the day UPS freight hauler, quickly converted to accommodate a Contributed file photo stretcher and two EMS per- Marilyn (LaBar) Nasman sonnel. If I recall correctly that conversion involved removing a piece of plywood that formed the floor of the freight area and then allowing the stretcher to be tied to the floor rings. I think there was one rear seat for one EMS person and the other personnel sat up front with Les. The local ambulance met the plane at our freight hangar; no extra lights, or special equipment, just Les, the plane and a space for the stretcher. No one was tracking the flight, no communication network, no cell phones, no radio contact with the hospital, just the promise to meet the flight by the original contact from St. Luke’s. There was limited ability for the EMS to provide medical support for the patient in route and no room for a family member to accompany the patient. Compare that 35-year-

old scenario to what I experienced in the early morning of Aug. 18, 2013. We were greeted by a gleaming Cessna 207 fully dedicated to medical evacuation. It was housed in a spotless hangar with state of the art equipment to smoothly move my husband into an aircraft equipped in a manner my late husband could have only dreamed. I had met our pilot, Craig Bailey, just the week before at the 40th anniversary for Aeronautical Services. He was the consummate professional. He orchestrated the flight with skill, competence and ease. When we arrived at the parking spot in Bellingham, the waiting ambulance moved into position and I watched a seamless ballet as the pilot, two EMS professionals and the two ambulance attendants never wasted one step to smoothly transfer my husband out of the plane and into the ambulance. It was a demonstration not only of excellence but world-class care. How blessed are we? I have been privileged to have witnessed 35 years of progress in fixed-wing air evacuation from San Juan Island and I never imagined this kind of state of the art service. Jim, you have brought the EMS service on this island to an enviable level of excellence and Jackie, your portion of the total package is truly remarkable. The two of you and your teams deserve all of the accolades we can give. Thank you from one who has seen a glimpse of both ends of this time line. With sincere respect, Marilyn (Labar) Nasman San Juan Island

Answer the call How are we doing? Sales tax will tell
A
s the new school year starts, we are reminded once again that it is the state’s “paramount duty … to make ample provision for the education of all children.” It’s a constitutional precept honored mostly in the breach, as the Supreme Court has recently found. Although substantial resources are dedicated to education in this state, developing and maintaining the high level of instruction demanded by the people of San Juan County cannot be achieved by relying on the Legislature or even on the property tax levies county voters regularly approve. The San Juan Public Schools Foundation has been at the forefront of our community’s efforts to provide funding for basic school needs and enrichment programs. In addition to providing money for basic materials and supplies at elementary, middle and high school levels, the foundation dedicates funding for advanced programs such as the Friday Harbor Labs K-12 program and the recently developed STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) curriculum. The foundation is once again beginning another fund-raising cycle, starting early in October with the annual Phone-A-Thon. Students, teachers, parents and your neighbors will volunteer to man the phones and ask for donations. The quality of education in our local school is exceptional because so many islanders contribute in so many ways. The need is great, the benefits are undeniable, the opportunity is now.

County’s fiscal health relies heavily on sales tax revenue; here’s how it works
I
By Milene Henley
work for the government, which gives me a warped view of the world. I forget that not everyone knows obscure stuff like how levies work, or that sales tax is comprised of lots of little parts. Since sales tax is always a big part of my quarterly reports, I thought I’d take this opportunity to explain a little more about our local sales tax. The “base” rate for sales tax in Washington is 6.5 percent. That’s the state amount, and all of it goes to the state—unless they choose to give it back, as in two cases described below. Counties and cities are allowed to add an additional 1 percent “local option” tax. Only one county—Klickitat— has not adopted the full 1 percent allowed. So effectively, the base rate in Washington state is 7.5 percent. The current rate in San Juan County is 8.1 percent (King County is 9.5 percent!). So how did we get from 7.5 percent to 8.1 percent? Counties are allowed to add other components to sales tax, some by public vote, some by County Council action. Unlike the 1 percent local option tax, all are restricted to specific uses. The first two add-ons were adopted by the old Board of County Commissioners in 1995 and 1996: .1 percent for criminal justice purposes, and .1 percent for jail and juvenile detention purposes. Those brought our county sales tax rate to 7.7 percent, where it stayed until 2008. In December of 2008, the council adopted the .1 percent mental health sales tax, which may be used only for mental health and substance abuse programs. Then in November of 2012, the public voted to add a .3 percent public safety tax. Forty percent of the public safety tax must be shared among the cities and towns in the county; in our case, that means that the whole 40 percent all goes to the Town of Friday Harbor. Both the county and the town are required to use at least one-third of the proceeds to provide criminal justice or fire protection services. That gets us to 8.1 percent. But there’s more. In addition to the 8.1 percent sales tax, guests of our

local lodging establishments pay another 2 percent “lodging tax.” Actually, the total lodging tax is 4 percent. The first 2 percent of it is distributed to the county out of the state’s 6.5 percent. The second 2 percent is added to the 8.1 percent, so lodging guests pay a total of 10.1 percent sales tax on their accommodations. Advised by a local Lodging Tax Advisory Committee, the county council uses all Journal file photo of the lodging tax revenues SJC Auditor Milene Henley to support tourism activities and facilities, or to promote San Juan County as a travel destination. Another—sort of “invisible,”—sales tax revenue is the .09 percent rural sales and use tax, which is distributed to small counties of low population density. Nobody “pays” this tax; rather, like the first 2 percent lodging tax, it is distributed out of the state’s 6.5 percent. The money must be used on capital projects belonging to public entities, and must encourage economic development. With all that at stake, you can see why I worry about sales tax revenue. So buy local. We need the money. — Editor’s note: San Juan County Auditor Milene Henley’s quarterly financial reports are published periodically by the Journal

Roy Franklin: A Life of Service to Aviation and the Community The San Juan Islands have lost a hero in the passing of Roy Franklin. He was a legend in his own time and his death leaves a gaping hole in our aviation and island community. But look at what he accomplished over his life of dedicated service, despite all the obstacles, as recounted in his excellent book Island Bush Pilot! From flying Hellcats and Corsairs off of jeep carriers in the Pacific in World War II to establishing scheduled air service connecting the San Juan Islands to the mainland in 1947, and to carving out our
present airport from the woods by 1960. Flying night and day in all kinds of w e a t h e r Roy Franklin for emergency medical flights in the years before navigational aids. And all that with a perfect safety record over more than 30 years of scheduled air service. So many Islanders owe their health, and sometimes even their lives, to his courage,
skill and carefully calculated judgments about whether or not and how to fly. He is the reason that we have such a good airport and aviation community today. Roy was always his own man. He was used to running his own life, even in death. In his later years, he was hobbled by increasing joint pain and difficulty in getting around. I understand and respect his way of flying on to the next chapter. Roy, you have left behind
an inspiring and legendary life of service to others. We are the fortunate benefactors of all you have done. You have earned a rest. I hope you are soaring with eagles over these very islands that you served so well. Goodbye and thank you for being you. — John Geyman, M.D.

The skinny on the Pioneer Festival Homemade Pie Baking Contest
Do you have a favorite pie? You know, the one you make for potlucks and that everyone asks for the recipe? That pie just might win the Pioneer Pie Baking Contest. Bring your pie to the Pioneer festival by 10:30 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 21. There's no charge to enter, and a ribbon, prizes and big bragging rights are in store for the winners, and maybe even 15 minutes of fame with a photo in the papers. Pies will be sampled after the judging. Here are the rules and how to enter: n All pies must be homemade. n Entries must be made in the name of the person who made it; contestants may enter up to three pies. n No pies that require refrigeration, i.e., dairy, cream or meat pies. n Pies will be judged on taste, presentation and originality. n Entries must be received at the Historical Museum Farmhouse Kitchen by 10:30 a.m., Sept. 21. * Winners will be announced, prizes awarded at 11:30 a.m. Also, pies become property of the Pie Festival (you won't get them back). Photos will be taken of contest winners and used for promotional material for future festivals. Contestants must be present to win; providing recipes will be appreciated and may be used as promotional material. For more info contact Michelle Loftus, 378-4738, meloftus@centurytel.net.

NOTICE AND SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON FOR SAN JUAN COUNTY SAN JUAN COUNTY, a duly organized County of the State of Washington, Plaintiff vs. Deward H Hastings, and each and every lot, tract or parcel of real property herein described; and each and every person herein named as owner of said property; or any part thereof, and each and every person having or claiming to have any right, title, lien or interest in, or upon, said real property, or any part thereof by, through or under said named owner, or owners, and all persons unknown, if any, having or claiming to have any
right, title, lien or interest or estate in, to, or upon, said real property, or any part thereof. Defendants. CAUSE NO. 13 2 05173 8 THE STATE OF WASHINGTON TO THE SAID DEFENDANTS: 1. A lawsuit has been started against the property which you own or in which you may have an interest, described herein, to foreclose the real property tax lien of San Juan County. 2. San Juan County is the owner and holder of Certificate of Delinquency No. 13 2 05173 8, amended September 4, 2013 issued as shown on Exhibit A hereto, for delinquent real property taxes for 2010 through 2013 or prior years, interest, penalties, and foreclosure costs owed on the real property described herein as of September 4, 2013. 3. In order to defend against this foreclosure lawsuit, you must: a) Appear and defend this action by answering this Notice and Summons in writing within thirty (30) days after the date of first publication of this Notice and Summons, exclusive of the date of first publication. Your answer must be in writing and must specify the particular cause of objection to foreclosure; or, b) In the alternative to filing an answer, you must pay the amount due for taxes, interest, penalties and foreclosure costs. 4. If you wish to seek the advice of an attorney in this matter, you should do so promptly so that your written answer, if any, may be served on time. 5. San Juan County will apply to the San Juan County Superior Court for a judgment foreclosing its lien for taxes and an order to sell the proper-
ty against which judgment is rendered. If you fail to answer or pay the amount due, judgment will be entered against the property without notice, foreclosing the lien for taxes, interest, penalties and foreclosure costs against the land and premises described therein. The judgment would be against the property and not a personal judgment against you. 6. If judgment is rendered against the property, it will be ordered to be sold at public auction. The property against which judgment is rendered will be sold unless redeemed prior to the close of business December 17, 2013, the last business day before the day of sale. The sale is scheduled and will be by public auction on Wednesday, December 18, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. or as soon thereafter as may be practicable in the Lobby of the San Juan County Courthouse at 350 Court Street in Friday Harbor, Washington. The sale may be continued from time to time and place to place. 7. The property may be redeemed from foreclosure, and sale of the property avoided, by paying all delinquent taxes, interest, penalties and foreclosure costs before the close of business December 10, 2013, the last business day before the public auction. The payment must be by cash, cashier’s check or money order payable to the San Juan County Treasurer. Foreclosure costs are estimated to be $2,325.00 plus approximately $400.00 for the cost of a title search for each parcel of real property having a separate tax account number. 8. There is no right of redemption on
the day of or after the public auction. If you do not redeem the property from foreclosure and are the record owner of the property on the day of issuance of the Certificate of Delinquency, then you are entitled to any sale proceeds which exceed the taxes, interest, penalties, foreclosure costs and outstanding local Improvement assessments. 9. Interest accrues at the rate of 12% per year. Pursuant to RCW 84.56.020, a penalty of 3% of the full year 2013 amount of tax unpaid was assessed June 1, 2013 and a penalty of 8% of the full year 20137 amount of tax unpaid will be assessed on December 1, 2013, if the property is not redeemed by then. 10. Exemption for elderly and disabled: This action will not be continued against your property if you are eligible for deferral of taxes (RCW Chapter 84.38) due to age or disability, and you file a declaration to defer taxes in accordance with the requirements of the chapter. The Assessor’s Office can assist you in filing the declaration. 11. You may obtain further information regarding the matters set forth above, including the total amount of delinquent taxes, interest, penalties, and foreclosure costs payable at the time of redemption, and a full, unabbreviated legal description of this property, by contacting the San Juan County Treasurer, Foreclosure Deputy, 350 Court Street, P.O. Box 639, Friday Harbor, Wa. 98250; telephone 360/378-2171 ext 7463; or email:treasurer@co.san-juan.wa.us Attn: Foreclosure Deputy. EXHIBIT A

Wolverines sweep Orcas on the road in season opener The Friday Harbor volleyball team not only opened the 2013 season with a win, but with a decisive win on the road over its inter-island rival, Orcas. The Wolverines jumped out to an early lead, claiming each of the first two games by a score of 25-17 in the Sept. 12 non-league contest. But they had to fend off a hard-fought effort by a resurgent Orcas squad to earn a 27-25 win in the third game and to post a three-game sweep on the Vikings home court. “It definitely set a good tone for a young team,” Coach Travis Mager said. “The girls had to wrestle through some adversity in the last game but were able to keep their composure
Volleyball and come out on top.” A victory over the Vikings in three straight also stands as a high-water mark for the Wolverines, who in recent years have fallen just short in successive five-game bouts in their season series against Orcas. “That’s a first for us since I’ve been here,” Mager, now in his 9th year at the helm, said of the 3-game sweep. Next: The Wolverines travel to South Whibey Saturday, Sept. 21, to compete in the South Whidbey Invite, and face Division 1A Whatcom County rival Mount Baker Tuesday, Sept. 24, in their home opener; game time is 4:30 p.m. in Turnbull Gym.

Big plays, big win for Wolverines FH tallies 49 points in win over Lyncs; Vikings, Island Cup showdown, next By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
Was that Lady Luck on their side, or the Wolverines making the most of their opportunities on Friday the 13th? Cashing in on one big play after another, Friday Harbor tallied a 49-21 victory on the road over Lynden Christian, Friday, Sept. 13, evening its overall record at 1-1. “It was a game of big plays for both teams,” Head Coach Richard Ledford said. “But in the end our big plays added up to more than theirs.” Which big play mattered the most? It’s a toss up. Peter Holt scooped up a loose ball and raced 80 yards on a blocked field-goal attempt by Nathan Steenkolk, giving the Wolverines an early lead. The Lyncs bounced back with a big play of their own, a 67-yard touchdown pass, and with a 2-point conversion grabbed an 8-7 advantage. Big plays just kept on coming. Quarterback C.J. Woods broke free for a 23-yard touchdown run, and defensive end Nelson Wynn picked up a fumble and returned it 55-yards for a TD to widen the lead. Lynden Christian countered with another 50-plus yard TD pass to narrow the deficit, but senior Amer Melic hauled in an 80-yard reception in the waning moments of the second quarter to score the team’s fourth touchdown of the opening half and push the lead to 29-15 at the break. Big plays proved pivotal, but a better conditioned ball club, better than in the season opener, helped seal the win down the stretch, Ledford said. “They moved the ball on us pretty well,” he said. “But we were able to stop them when we needed to, especially in the fourth quarter.” Steenkolk rambled for two third-quarter touchdowns and amassed an eye-popping 215 yards on the ground for
