Q & A: council candidates reply

Got spirit? Yes, they do

Ghatan, Shildneck square off in November By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter Journal photo /Scott Rasmussen

Council weighs pot law Proposal would limit retail sales to small strip along Mullis St. By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

The usual brief and methodical Friday Harbor Town Council meetings were replaced Oct. 17 by a fast-paced day working on a full agenda and visiting with a contingent of County Council members at a joint session. After excusing another absence by town Councilman Felix Menjivar (his eighth straight since the primary election), the council

jumped into the two-page agenda at the usual noon and 5:30 p.m. meetings. The agenda was jammed with two ordinances, three resolutions, the 2014 town budget, the lodging tax grant recommendations, a joint meeting with the San Juan County Council, a thank you from Lynn Danaher for the council’s support of the “highly successful” first annual Friday Harbor Film Festival, and a public hearing on where a marijuana store could be located in the town. The marijuana zoning ordinance, part of the late afternoon council session, attracted the most public interest, especially when town planning chief Mike Bertrand said a marijuana retail

store would probably be limited to a strip along Mullis Street, from the Technology Building to Browne’s Home Center. The council expects to pass the ordinance in the coming few weeks so that interested pot entrepreneurs can apply for the coveted license for San Juan Island. Orcas and Lopez islands are also slated to be licensed for one store each under regulations implementing initiative 502, the voter-approved measure which legalized recreational use of marijuana for adults in Washington state. The first agenda item of the day, however, was an ordinance amending the 2002 Town of Friday Harbor Comprehensive See Law, Page 4

Town council candidates Matt Shildneck and Farhad Ghatan answer five questions from the Journal. Winner of the Nov. 4 election will replace Felix Menjivar on the council. Council members receive $400 per month plus $50 for each council meeting attended. The fiveperson council, elected at-large to four-year terms, approves the town’s annual budget, are ex-officio members of town advisory committees, represent the town at official functions and meetings and enact ordinances, which become part of the municipal code.

Town council candidate: Matt Shildneck

Journal: Why do you want to serve on the town council? Shildneck: I decided to run for this seat because I didn’t want to see the incumbent run unopposed, and I felt that I could do a better job. I am a current member of the Historic Preservation Review Board and Planning Commission. I love this town and island, this place has been my home for

Jackie Hamilton at the helm of Island Air By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

t’s mid-morning in mid-autumn and the skies over Friday Harbor are crystal clear. But out in the distance a thick bank of clouds stretches low across the horizon and the phones lines are abuzz in the headquarters of Island Air. The low ceiling has grounded flights elsewhere in the islands and people who had hoped for a quick hop from here to there are calling Island Air to see if Jackie Hamilton might be able to step in and get them to where they want to go. It’s not how Hamilton, owner, president and director of operations of Island Air, expected to start off the day, but that’s pretty much par for the course. “The schedule you have when you show up in the morning is almost always completely different from what it turns out to be when you leave for the day,” says Hamilton, who started the San Juan Island-based chartered air carrier from scratch 21 years ago. “You have to be adaptable.” An ability to adapt has helped Hamilton to turn a fledgling business into a solid and successful aviation company over the past two decades. She’s learned a few other helpful hints along the way. Like it helps if your endeavor involves something you truly love. But don’t expect that that will make it any easier, so be prepared to give it all you got.

“If you’re looking to give it a minimum amount of effort or a minimum amount of work, it won’t fly,” she said. You might say that Jackie Hamilton was born to fly. The daughter of a commercial airline pilot, she got bit early by the flight bug, See SKY, Page 14

Q & A: Port commission candidates

SOLAR IS AT IT’S PEAK!

Incumbent Mike Ahrenius faces local antique merchant Daniel Miller in the race for a position on the Friday Harbor Port Commission. The Port operates the Friday Harbor marina and airport, as well as public property and facilities at Jacksons Beach. The Port is governed by a three-person commission elected to staggered six-year terms; commissioners receive $95 pay for each meeting, oversee and approve the yearly port budget, and are responsible for hiring a port director.

The cost of solar panels are at an all-time low. Take advantage of

FH Port Commission incumbent: Mike Ahrenius Journal: Why do you want to be port commissioner? Ahrenius: At this point there is more that I can contribute to the Port of Friday Harbor and the r e s i dents of San Juan Mike Ahrenius Island by way of experience in the industry and, now with the loss of the Spring Street Landing building, seeing this project through to completion is very important. J: What should be done about rebuilding or replacing the Spring Street Landing Building? Ahrenius: As one voice of three commissioners, I fully expect that this project will be a total replacement, given that the building we lost was made up of several buildings over the years and countless remodels for varying purposes. This building project must also reflect what Friday Harbor has become and where it may be headed in the next fifty plus years, and be flexible enough to change as time and tenants change. J: What is your plan for waterfront bulkhead repair or replacement? Would you

support a boardwalk along the waterfront from the Port to the ferry dock? What should be done with port property at Jackson Beach? Ahrenius: Personally I would love to see stairs to the water’s edge so people can touch the water. In reality, I will be happy with whatever we can get through as long as it contains an exceptional pedestrian walkway as part of an eventual waterfront boardwalk. As far as Jackson Beach is concerned, it also is part of our waterfront planning and has been part of our discussions in Port meetings all along, but since there is no continuous income stream we are careful how we spend money there. But yes - it’s time for some improvements. J: What can the port do to maximize port income from the marina? From the airport? Ahrenius: Your staff keeps a close eye on this issue at both locations. Any time we can garner more income without being too aggressive or spend too much to gain too little, we will talk it over, come to agreement and move forward. FH Port Commission candidate: Daniel Miller Journal: Why do you want to be port commissioner? Miller: Well, I am running for port commissioner pos 1 to work help keep down property taxes, as well

as careful spending at the port. I am also running to w o r k to help b u i l d jobs and Daniel Miller a good local economy. I am also running for port commissioner to help with great publicity for port events and to help provide ideas of good festivals that the port could put on. I am also running because I love the water. Several years ago I did what you call long-line fishing. That was lots of fun. J: What is your plan for waterfront bulkhead repair or replacement? Would you support a boardwalk along the waterfront from the Port to the ferry? Miller: I think that before we repair the bulkhead, we should start the rebuilding of the Downriggers building. The Downriggers building is home to several businesses and over 50 jobs. A boardwalk along the water front would be nice, but before we consider a project like that I think we should finish building the Downringgers building and work to get it done quickly. J: What can the port do to maximize port income from the marina? From the airport?

Operation candy drop; assist with contributions

You may have noticed those large Kiwanis candy bins currently out at the drug store and Marketplace. Kiwanis Club of Friday Harbor is conducting a candy drive to supplement the Halloween candy supply for the homes hit hardest on Halloween night. The Evergreen subdivision, Hunt Street and Oaks homeowners are barraged with our little island

goblins, witches and cowboys, estimating in numbers up to 400-500 on that special holiday evening. Help if you can (especially you parents) by donating a bag of candy or two into the bin. Kiwanis will be supplementing your contributions and supplying numerous homeowners again this year to ease their burden. Thanks for your support and Happy Halloween! — Stephanie O'Day, president, Kiwanis Club

Miller: One way to increase revenue is encourage more business development on port property. But, it should not just be about maximizing income. The port is supposed to be for the community as well as tourists. So, fees and such should be reasonable.

these cost savings while investing in your retirement.

Now is the time to make the call!

Reply: Continued from page 1 on and at all of the town’s utility systems. I feel that my time and experience here gives me a unique perspective of this Town that I think is lacking on the Council now. J: What issues will you emphasize if elected? Shildneck: I think that one of the biggest issues is the relationship between the town and the county. We are all one community here on San Juan but we don’t work together as well as I feel we should. The best example of this is our solid waste system. The town and the county could save a lot of money if they could make the Sutton Road property work for both the town and county. J: Can anything be done to lower the high costs of water and sewer services for town residents? Shildneck: The mayor and council are doing their best to keep the rates as low as they can. It’s just tough on the 2,185 residents of town to have to support water and sewer systems that have to handle 25,000 people at its peak. I would continue to work with the mayor and other council members to keep our rates low and look for new solutions to this problem. J: Are there improvements or projects the town would be

Town council candidate: Farhad Ghatan

Journal: Why do you want to serve on the town council? Ghatan: I am excited at the prospect of working with the sophisticated team that makes up our town government. Our brilliant new administrator Duncan Wilson, and trusted town Treasurer Wendy Picinich, along with the community leaders that make up the town council, continue creating cost-savings while providing top notch services for town residents. I would be honored to work with our efficient and thoughtful Mayor Carrie Lacher and the rest of the hard-working staff at the town on the many fine projects proposed for the coming future. My numerous commitments to local non-profits and community organizations are simple reflections of the love and appreciation I have for the town and I look forward to helping preserve this island gem for generations to come. J: What issues will you emphasize if elected? Ghatan: My passions are many but economic development, public safety and affordable living are critical to our way of life. I appreciate the many benefits of living off of the mainland “grid” and understand the challenges associated with them. Broadband service is critical to continuing to attract the low impact/high value businesses that will be major economic drivers in the near future. With our new county public safety tax, we now have a dedicated funding source for our many needed street and sidewalk improvements, some of which will also drive economic development. I look forward to working on obtaining grants from the state and local authorities to continue improving our infrastructure with little or no cost to the local user. J: Can anything be done to lower the high costs of water and sewer services for town residents? Ghatan: Reducing the costs of water and sewer services to town residents will be a great challenge but one that I am looking forward to exploring. Kudos to the town for the modest $2 a month proposed increase in our water base

wise to invest in? Shildneck: Traffic is something I think the town really needs to look at for the future. Not only at the ferry landing, but with the flow of cars through town.

rate and zero sewer rate increase in the 2014 budget. We have some of the highest water and sewer rates in the State and can expect major repairs and improvements to these systems in the years to come. However, there are many funding sources that can be explored that may make these improvements possible without impacting the consumer’s pocketbook. I hope to be able to offer my business skills to maintaining the highest efficiencies and pass on these costsavings to the taxpayer. J: Are there improvements or projects the town would be wise to invest in? Ghatan: I see many exciting opportunities ahead. Recent partnerships with the county, port and ferries have yielded exciting plans and commitments for future local development in our town. I look forward to helping alleviate heavy traffic in residential areas, providing efficiencies in ferry loading and off-loading, creating a cohesive waterfront for pedestrians and continuing with our street, sidewalk and infrastructure improvements all over town. We can look forward to a bright future if we all work together on these common goals.

Continued from page 1 Plan. The new plan updates the six year transportation and capital facilities plans, laying out plans for roads, the water system, the sewer and wastewater system and the solid waste management system. The rest of the early afternoon was spent in a joint meeting with the San Juan County Council, reviewing such subjects as the port fire rebuilding plans and being updated on the water transmission line project, the Cattle Point Road project, the tourism master plan and other items of mutual interest. After the public hearing on marijuana at the 5:30 p.m. session, the crowd disbursed and the council dug into the first general outline of its 2014 budget. Although total revenues and expenditures were not available, the first rough cut includes a 2 percent property tax increase and a $2 increase in the water base charge, from

$40 per month in 2013 to $42 per month in 2014. A proposed five-percent sewer base charge increase, from $97.75 per month to $102.65 per month has been removed from the budget. A new recycling charge of $2 per can and an increase of the yard waste charge from $1 to $2 per can are contemplated, as are a 1.5-percent wage increase for all employees and a two percent increase in the amount budgeted for law enforcement services paid to San Juan County. The budget will be frontand-center for the rest of the year for the council, with final passage of next year’s spending and expenditure plan expected at the last council meeting in December. The agenda for the next council meeting, scheduled Nov. 7 after the election, is not expected to be quite as full – but one item for the agenda, according to Mayor Carrie Lacher, may be the repeated absence of Menjivar from council meetings.

Back to business at National Parks

Wednesday, October 23, 2013 — 5

Excessive exposure to The Journal has been linked to increased community engagement and overall personal awesomeness.

More than 2,000 acres on the west side closed with the gov’t shutdown San Juan Island National Historical Park reopened Oct. 17 on the heels of an agreement over a temporary spending measure that brought an end to the partial shutdown of the federal government. Along with NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of the Interior, parent agency of National Parks, was among the many federal departments shuttered during the 16-day shutdown. “We are happy to be back at work preserving the park and welcoming visitors to English and American Camps,” San Juan Island National Parks Superintendent Lee Taylor said in a press release. “I would like to thank the community for their patience during the closure.” A total of eight park employees were furloughed as a result of the shutdown, while two others remained on duty to provide security and emergency services. San Juan Island National Historical Park consists of American Camp, English Camp, Fourth of July Beach,

Mitchell Hill and the newly acquired property on Westcott Bay. The park draws more than 200,000 visitors each year. The visitor center at American Camp is open Wednesday through Sunday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The English Camp visitor center is closed for the winter, but picnic areas and all park trails are open, along with those at South Beach and Fourth of July Beach.

Error of Watmough BLM project explained

n Oct. 15, the Bureau of Land Management began implementation of a shoreline stabilization project at Watmough Bay on Lopez Island. This project was designed in response to the discovery that sensitive cultural resources at this site were being threatened due to winter storms and wave action. The project itself consists of moving a few existing logs, installing two new ballasted logs, and strategically placing four boulders for the purposes of protecting sensitive cultural resources. In the past two weeks a number of you have noticed that the project is underway. It is unfortunate that we were unable to have adequate staffing on site to effectively communicate with local citizens trying to gain information about the history and intent of the action. Therefore, we hope to provide some clarification here. In 2011, BLM's engineer and archaeologist along with the interdisciplinary resources team approved the project design and moved through the standard environmental assessment process for its approval. Public scoping was accomplished using contacts from the district office's list of self-identified interested citizens. Subsequent permits and approvals for the project were obtained from state Fish and Wildlife and department of Ecology and San Juan County for the shoreline permit. The BLM also coordinated these efforts with the local tribal cultural preservation offices. Our error in this process was our failure to revisit the project design with all interested parties at the end of the environmental assessment process, and then again as we were planning to accomplish the stabilization process work. Since 2011, BLM has put significant effort into developing an extensive local mailing list of interested citizens and organizations. We have this tool available to us for outreach efforts but failed to ensure that this step was taken for this project. Though not a legal requirement for this type of action, we believe this level of communication and transparency would have demonstrated our regard for the long-standing history of outstanding public stewardship of these lands, and our commitment to the ongoing development of a collaborative partnership for managing the monument's resources. I deeply regret this error, and am committed to improving communication processes for our District, and to work with islanders in development of management strategies for those Monument resources. One benefit of the monument status is the national level of commitment to protect, preserve and restore the monu-

Fair needs funds; nix drive-in films

The $25,000 Drive-in Theater grant that will be implemented at the fairgrounds will actually do the opposite of what it was intended to do. It will generate adverse relationships with the island residents whose homes border the fairgrounds and without their support, future projects may be in jeopardy. It will cause unnecessary fuel consumption, air pollution, sound pollution, light pollution, and vagrancy issues. It will cause unnecessary traffic congestion. It will not foster good parenting, as movies will be shown after a 10 p.m. sundown. It will promote restless teens to hang out and watch the movies for free without supervision. It will require a “police” presence to enforce rules and regulations to be imposed by non-police staff. The grant will actually end up draining the already scant funds of fairgrounds as soon as they purchase the equipment because, according to experts in the movie industry on our island, they will have to spend lots of dollars to make this project work. There is no demand for the content that they will be showing; the cost of renting the movies are too high for the real projected turnout of viewers. The grant is given based upon creating an attraction or return of visitors to promote our hotels, bed-and-

breakfasts, and vacation rentals. This pollution driven eyesore will do none of that, and as many who spoke at an Oct. 15 meeting in objection of this, it does not represent in any way what our islands stand for, nor what we want to project to the rest of the world. Please spare us from the embarrassment. Grant the $25,000 to the fairgrounds but please don’t make them spend it on this disastrous, break-the-bank folly. Norris Palmer Friday Harbor

Both candidates should withdraw

Howard Rosenfeld and Mark Schwinge have declared themselves candidates for the Public Health Hospital District Commission by showing up when a vacancy became available on the commission. Neither have a history of attending meetings where business of the commission has been held since the beginning of health care business in this county. The regular meetings have, from the beginning, been attended by persons interested in, and professionally prepared to understand health care delivery by Peace Health, and the oversight of business by the commission. Howard Rosenfeld and Mark Schwinge have now curiously appeared to fill the first vacancy on the commission. Last week’s newspaper account of their interest in becoming a commissioner does not demonstrate the capabilities or under-

standing that we recognize necessary for such a seat. Candidates must understand the operation of a health system, be able to recognize components of health care, be capable of communicating effectively with the hospital organization, and, be able understand how to navigate and solve problems for the commission. These two persons apparently do not understand the duties of the commission versus the hospital’s community mission of specific health care delivery issues. Verbiage of their “concerns” does not constitute the mission of the commission. It would be appropriate for them to withdraw from consideration. D.T. McCarty Friday Harbor

’By the People’; ‘Yes’ on Prop. 1

I am writing to urge voters to support Proposition 1. Approval of this proposition simply removes a barrier to potential future citizen involvement in restructuring county districts. Removal of this obstacle would still require gathering the necessary signatures to place a measure on a future ballot to amend the charter. If such a measure were undertaken between now and the next gubernatorial election in 2016, it would be necessary to gather about 1,600 signatures of registered county voters, a daunting task no one would undertake frivolously. A recent letter opposing Proposition 1 complains that voters would be “expected to study certain

changes to the Charter every year.” This statement is absurd. The only time voters would need to study a measure is if approximately 1,600 signatures were gathered once a year to actually qualify it for the ballot. The possibility of people going to this level of effort every year is impractical to the point of being impossible. Another letter writer also from Lopez Island bemoans the action of a “disgruntled lame duck six-member County council” to change our current charter. It should be noted that the vote was based on what the entire council saw as a structural flaw and was unanimous by the six members, three of whom serve as our current county council. The essence of the Home Rule Charter is the right of citizens to influence the structure and outcomes of our government. This measure will retain the ability of the people to keep the intended power granted

Guest Column

A good time Beware false claims in clash over I-522 Genetically altered foods have not proven to step down to be safe, but labels will likely add to costs T I he Journal would like to thank Friday Harbor Town Councilman Felix Menjivar for his service to Friday Harbor for the past four years, and hopes he will continue to be involved in community activities as a private citizen and sheriff’s deputy. With that said, we also suggest that it’s time for him to resign. Menjivar did his part, and he deserves the good wishes of the community as he moves into the next phase of his public service career. Councilman Menjivar has explained that his duties as a sheriff’s deputy have increased, and that he’s now spending time on all the ferry-served islands, requiring him to notify the town when he was unable most council meetings since early June. The council in every case excused his absence, and Menjivar received no money for the meetings he missed. Although the absences up to now were probably not a terrible burden on anybody, going forward it’s important that every council member be fully involved in preparing the 2014 budget. The council will spend many hours reviewing and discussing town revenues and spending. The participation of the full council will be more important as the council works to finish the budget by year’s end. For these reasons, the Journal respectfully asks Councilman Menjivar to consider resigning after the election if he expects not to be able to attend council meetings. The election winner, either Farhad Ghatan or Matt Shildneck, can be appointed to fill the position for the remainder of the year, and deputy Menjivar will be able to fully devote his time to his job. We think this might be the best resolution of the problem for the council, the town and Felix Menjivar.

appreciate Steve Wehrly’s story on Initiative I-522 in the Oct. 15 issue of the Journal ("Battle looms over labels", pg. 1). It’s an important topic that affects us in many ways and we need to be aware of these issues. To me, the most important issue in I-522 is the freedom to make informed decisions about what we eat. The food we eat directly affects our health and well-being, as well as the health of the whole planet, and I want to know where it was grown or produced, how it was grown (whether it’s organic or conventional—that is, whether it contains pesticides and artificial fertilizers), and what’s in it. That includes whether it’s genetically modified or contains genetically modified ingredients. I want to be able to make healthy informed decisions about what I put in my body; this is what I-522 would let us do. Another important question, however, is safety. Steve asks whether people would buy food products labeled “partially produced with genetic engineering.” Me—if I could avoid it—I wouldn’t buy them. I don’t trust genetically modified foods, and I don’t trust the companies that produce them (and are trying to suppress my right to know what I’m eating). There is still tremendous disagreement about whether genetically modified foods are safe in animals and humans, and the jury isn’t in; we need a lot more well-designed unbiased research. A recent widely publicized study in France claimed that GMO feed caused birth defects and other severe abnormalities in rats, but the study was criticized for serious design problems and apparently can’t be relied on. On the other hand, GMO foods have never been shown to be safe in humans (Monsanto’s web site explains that human studies are unnecessary and impractical) and apparently there are no long-term studies that show GMOs are safe in animals: the standard studies are 90 days long and the French researchers were the first to try to do a 2-year study. I prefer to stay away from this laboratory-created food until it’s proven to be reasonably safe over the long run, and not be a guinea pig in a huge uncontrolled nationwide feeding experiment.

Letters:

Continued from page 6 their conflicting roles as members of the Planning Commission and as directors of CSA. Based upon the April 5 memo of Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord to the County Council, I call upon the three to voluntarily recuse themselves from all planning commission deliberations of changes to the CAO recently ordered by the Growth Management Hearings Board. In his memo, Gaylord said: “Officers of CSA on the Planning Commission should remain vigilant and voluntarily disqualify themselves from participating on matters which create an irreconcilable bias.” The “matter” at hand is the reconsideration ordered by the GMHB. The “irreconcilable bias” results from the role of the three in

founding the CSA for purposes of gutting the CAO and in raising in excess of $100,000 for the CSA’s legal expenses, including the lawsuit recently filed in superior court over some of the same issues now before the commission. For the three to claim there is no bias would exceed the bounds of credulity. In case the three refuse to voluntarily recuse themselves, I request the county council to remove them from the planning commission’s CAO deliberations based upon Gaylord’s above words, as well as based upon his reference in the same memo to Common Law Conflict of Interest (Smith v. Centralia, 55 Wash. 573, 104 Pac. 797 (109). Gaylord says “... one must consider whether this court-created doctrine would prohibit a particular vote or action.” I strongly believe that it does.

The other issue that seems important is the cost of labeling the GMO products. This is a serious consideration; I would hate to think that underprivileged families would suffer serious hardships because of I-522. The truth would appear to be somewhere between what the two sides claim. I’ve found two thoughtful online discussions of the Contributed photo Joseph Tein cost issue that I think present valid facts and arguments: “Won’t Cost a Dime? Average Family Food Bill Would Rise $490 a Year Under I-522, Says Opposition Report” on the Washington State Wire web site, and: “In GMO Ads, Both Sides Make Mostly False Claims About I-522 Costs” on the Seattle Times web site, first published Oct. 1. We do need to remember that the "No" side is supported by GMO producers and food manufacturers that are only looking after their own financial interests. All of their persuasive arguments and beautifully crafted ads are motivated by the drive to protect their profits, not the welfare and well-being of consumers, and they’ll do whatever they can get away with to promote their interests. (If you haven’t seen this yet, google “GMA” and Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson to see the latest on the story of the Grocery Manufacturers of America trying to hide the identities of the big food producers that contributed to the "No" campaign. In California last year, these included Hershey’s, Kellogg’s, General Mills, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Smuckers’s, Nestle and Kraft, among others, who contributed millions to defeat Proposition 37 there. They garnered so much hatred as a result that they decided to try to hide behind the GMA this time.) This is a complex topic. It’s really important to know the facts about this initiative and the issues involved so we can make an intelligent choice (just as it’s important to know what’s in our food!). Please do your research, think carefully about what matters to you, and vote. — Editor’s note: A 15-year resident of San Juan Island, Joseph Tein is full-time medical translator and part-time organic gardener.

Gaylord sent another memo on Oct. 16 to the chair of the planning commission saying that he still does “not find sufficient evidence of conflict of interest” in spite of the recent lawsuit. In doing so, he has ignored his own words in his April 5 memo cited above. I urge Gaylord to update his April 5 memo accordingly. If you agree that the three CSA board members have a conflict of interest and an irreconcilable bias that disqualifies them from CAO deliberations at the planning commission, please let the county council know at council@sanjuanco.com.

Keep on course; ‘No’ on Prop. 1

Currently, our charter requires an elected Charter Review Commission to

make recommendations to the voters for any changes to council districts and the number of council members. Any recommendations from the Charter Review Commission are then approved or rejected by the voters. Proposition 1, if approved by voters, would change that. Council districts and the number of council members could then change through the initiative process, as initiated by voters or the council, in any general election. Our current charter recognizes the importance of these significant changes to our local governance and requires a more deliberative process and a predictable timeframe for consideration of these significant changes. Please join us in voting “No” on Proposition 1. Lovel/Boyd Pratt San Juan Island

As I See It

Initiative ‘By the People’? Prop. 1 is nothing of the sort By Bill Appel

Special to the Journal

reater control by the people over county government is not what is really going on here. This is not a “people’s movement.” This effort is largely driven by ex-politicians and ex-Freeholders and their immediate supporters to enable the breakup of the county into small districts. The proposition before us has only one impact on the charter, and therefore that impact has to be its sole purpose: to permit redistricting by initiative petition. Our current charter permits redistricting only by way of proposition submitted to the voters by a Charter Review Commission. It is only redistricting that is at issue. Why does the Charter deny us the right to redistrict by public initiative? The answer is clear from a simple comparison of the first step in each procedure:

Ballot measure would put to much power into the hands of a few Charter Review Commission: Freely elected representatives from throughout the county meet in open public session, invite comment and criticism, and after debate considering the effectiveness of county government, propose either a single county voting district (as the recent Charter Review Commission did) or carefully designs separate voting districts after considering the needs and natures of interest groups and communities, and in any event legal review by the county prosecutor Public Initiative: A public initiative is not really public. It is privately framed by an individual or small group with its own agenda, whatever it is. There is no initial public disclosure of its initiators or backers. Although in this case nominally submitted by the previous council, the current proposition is a good example of initiation by this process

because two sets of proposals were first submitted to the council by a private group using a computer whose metadata reveals its owner as a private individual. One such submission to the council identified the five proposed districts without any opportunity to the entire county, every voter in which would be impacted. Is this “greater control by the people over county government.” Well, yes it is, if you mean control by some people. Those unelected few who draft an initiative petition would control the choice presented to the voters simply by elimination of public discussion of alternatives. Don’t be misled into thinking that Charter Review Commissions are too few and too far in the future. Contrary to the Pro Statement in the Voter’s Pamphlet, that Charter Review Commissions can only be held every 10 years, the next one is only seven years away, and thereafter can be called as often as every other year. The writers of the Pro Statement did not read Section 9.20 of the charter carefully. There has been no public correction. [Section 9.20 - Election Procedures and Period of Office (1) The County Council shall cause an election of a CRC in 2020 and at least every ten (10) years thereafter provided that the CRC election is held in an even numbered year. The proposition before us is designed solely to enable privately planned propositions to be presented to you on a take-it-or-leave-it basis. Small groups can propose gerrymandering leading to an annual war of voting district readjustment. This is not democracy, and it impairs the fair apportionment of freedom. To preserve your freedom against private invasion and retain your right to vote county-wide, reject Proposition 1. — Editor’s note: Waldon Island resident William Appel was a member of the former Charter Review Commission, which advocated a return to a 3-person council, approved by voters in 2012.

“Talking with…” By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

an Juan Community Theatre is going all the way back to the beginning for its upcoming fall play. As part of the its 25th anniversary celebration, the theatre will resurrect a performance from its very first season, in 1989, and breathe new life into Jane Martin’s “Talking With…”, a provocative and imaginative collection of 11 ten-minute monologues performed by an allfemale cast. Led by artistic director Susan Williams, who, as it so happens, was a featured performer in the theatre’s 1989 production, the play stars some of the island’s most accomplished actresses, including Julie Greene, who also, like Williams, starred in the original performance. “It feels great to revisit this thought-provoking production,” Williams said. “It shares a very special part of our history, with new actresses and new patrons.” Taken together the monologues cover a wide spectrum of lives, ages and individual circumstances; from snake handler to disenchanted and disgruntled rodeo cowgirl, from an aspiring young actress to a baton twirler, to a woman covered by tattoos and another on a tight-rope walk on the edge of reality. Sometimes eccentric, sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, each performance strikes an emotional chord that reverberates long after the stage lights fade to black. The selection of “Talking With…” conjures up a mystery of its own, as the identity of Jane Martin remains a matter of only speculation, in spite of a list of ten dramatic works credited to the unknown playwright, including “Keely and Du”, a 1994 Pulitzer Prize nominee. Many

sources speculate that Martin is the pen-name of Jon Jory, Martin’s spokesperson and former artistic director of the Actors Theatre of Louisville. Jory, who has directed premiers of Martin’s shows, has denied that he and the playwright are one and the same. Intrigue about the playwright aside, the cast of the theatre’s 2013 production of “Talking With…” features Patti Bair (Clear Glass Marble), Joy Van Camp (Scraps), Therese Finn (French Fries), Penelope Haskew (Rodeo), Shannon Kelley (Dragons), Julie Laidlaw (Handler), Fiona Small (Audition), Kate Small (Twirler), Maureen See (Lamps), and Greene (15 Minutes), and Williams (Marks). To create a more intimate, up-close setting, the Whittier stage has been reshaped and extended into the audience, which will also reduce the theatre seating capacity by more than half (120) for each showing of the four performance-only production. The play runs Oct. 24-27. Tickets are $17 adults, $8 student reserved and $5 student RUSH at the door. Purchase tickets at SJCT Box Office, TuesdayFriday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., or online, www.sjctheatre.org.

ill Blankenship has always enjoyed a lot of diversity in her profession. When she first moved to Orcas Island, WA in 1998 she earned her living as a real estate agent and also in retail management, dependent on the season. With Orcas Island being such a tourist destination she noticed the employment trends in the islands reflect this dependency. It was during a dinner that a friend suggested the idea of a call center and the idea took root. Many hours of learning combined with help from the SBA and her family, the call center was born. Opening Frontline Call Center and the second center on San Juan last year proved Frontline to be a viable business opportunity that could meet the need for steady employment in our Jill Blankenship rural area with severe location challenges. It also provided the perk of being an environmentally low impact business. Continuing to build on the success of Frontline Call Center Jill opened two new business divisions this year. She partnered with inContact, the cloud based contact center platform used in her call center as a reseller to businesses with smaller seating needs creating Frontline Services. The flexibility to not only provide call center services but to also enable other businesses to efficiently run their own call centers or help desks while providing solid advisement and set up for them has been both challenging and rewarding. Following quickly on the heels of the Frontline Services launch was the My Easy Billing platform. It offers clients an easy way to pay and consultants an easy way to charge clients on a per call or per minute basis for consultation provided via phone or chat in real time. Not only has this year brought growth it has also brought recognition for services provided. Jill’s biggest success came this year when she was notified that she won WA State’s Small Business Person of the Year award. To be recognized out of all the small businesses in our state, as both a women and a person was a great honor. Telecommunications is an aggressive industry the recognition not only for the applications and services she provides but also for the leadership and innovation side was a great success both personal and business wise. In addition this past week she was also nominated as a finalist at the MOJO awards in Las Vegas at the ICUC Industry Convention. She is also a finalist in the upcoming international Stevie Awards as Female Entrepreneur of the Year. When asked what she thought of the success this year has brought Jill responded with, “I don’t think success can be defined in a single measurable moment. Looking back over the year there were so many smaller moments that came together this year in a big way creating a gradually experienced sense of fulfillment overall. I also feel that when work is rewarded with recognition it is important to give back in equal or greater measure. I will continue to grow and support our local non-profit, Orcas Angels to bring that success full circle and encourage my friends, peers and neighbors to do the same as they grow and succeed in their fields.”

Gig i, Jodi, an d Mar y igi Zakula moved to San Juan Is-

land in 1976. She has been a licensed agent with Islanders Insurance since 1990, and is now a co-owner of the agency. She enjoys working with clients to ﬁnd the best ﬁt and insurance products for their individual needs. In her leisure time she enjoys gardening, reading, time spent with her partner, friends, family and especially her three grandchildren.

odi Logsdon came out here to work in the summer at Roche Harbor in 1993. She fell in love with the islands and moved here permanently in 1996. She worked at Islanders Bank close to five years before beginning her career at Islanders Insurance in early July. She is always enjoying life, love and laughter with her husband, Don.

ary Wade moved to San Juan Island in 1977 with husband Dick. Working in insurance since 1990 has afforded her the opportunity to meet many islanders and grow with the constant challenges of the insurance industry. In her spare time Mary enjoys her busy family, friends, camping, and quilting.

ebbie Dardanelli is in business seven days a week. Her store is open seven days and her cellphone is always on to talk to real estate buyers. She never stops selling. Sure, she wants to make money. But she only makes money if she sells something. Houses and dresses qualify as something to sell, but sheâ€™d probably be good at selling cars or airplanes, too. But even just selling something and making money is not her goal. â€œMy goal in clothing and in real estate,â€? she said, â€œis to make people happy, to make them satisfied with what they buy and feel good about doing business with me.â€? That may be why she has 790 accounts who bring clothes for resale to â€œGirlfriends,â€? her consignment shop a few feet up Nichols St. from the Brickworks. And many of them buy from her, too. â€œIf I like someoneâ€™s style, I tell them I want their clothes,â€? she laughs. And she also tells them, â€œIf you wouldnâ€™t buy it, I wonâ€™t sell it.â€? Which presumably means that some gifts from husbands and regretted purchases donâ€™t make the grade. Her first job, and the first business she owned, was â€œDeju Fashionsâ€? in Alaska, a clothing store selling imported goods she opened in 1978. She liked selling clothes, so she opened a used clothing store in Friday Harbor in 1991, the same year she married Pete, her husband. She sold that store a dozen years ago and soon after joined Windermere Real Estate because, she says, â€œI wanted a career for getting older.â€? In March of 2012, when the â€œperfect locationâ€? opened up at 210 Nichols St. (the former Gallery San Juan), she didnâ€™t hesitate getting back into the clothing business. Her

We at Browneâ€™s would like to introduce you to our new manager Meghann Schubert. Meghann moved to the island in 2004, after spending 2 years in Australia. She is a native of Amity, OR. With the original intention of staying on island for the summer, she found that she not only loved the island, but also was introduced to her future husband. Since coming here, she started work on the island in a bakery position, and 6 years ago started at Browneâ€™s as a cashier. She has since worked in various departments, last being the head of the contractorsâ€™ desk. The knowledge she gained while participating in Homes for Islanders with her husband Michael, has helped her at Browneâ€™s with her knowledge of the building trades. Meghann is excited for the new adventures ahead of her, and the continued customer service she provides at Browneâ€™s.

Secure & Affordable Storage with Jeanie Garrett As a fifth generation islander and owner of Store More Storage Inc. my goal is to provide clean dry and secure space for people to store their things and to be a good neighbor. This year begins our 20th year in business I have great respect for all the people who rent from me and every day is customer appreciation day. I want to thank everyone for their continued support.

Jackie Hamilton dons her air ambulance flight suit for a tour of the hangar and the fleet of aircraft of Island Air.

learned to fly in the San Juans after college, followed in her father’s footsteps for a time, looking to land a job as a pilot with the airlines, and then decided to strike out on her own, hoping that creating a company offering chartered flights would enable her to live and work in the place that she knew she wanted to call home, the San Juan Islands. She started small, with just a single aircraft, a Cessna 172, and threw everything she had into it. “It was just me for the first four years,” she said.

By her fifth year at the helm, Island Air appeared stable enough that Hamilton began hiring other pilots, and the business took off. Today, Island Air operates a fleet of five planes, employs eight pilots, boasts an award-winning safety record, provides fixed-wing air ambulance service in partnership with San Juan EMS, and though it remains a family run business (Hamilton’s husband, Will, is a significant part of the operation, “He’s instrumental in every way. He’s kind of my right arm.”), it is the largest air carrier in the U.S. founded and built by a woman. While there may be a bit more time nowadays to indulge in a hobby or two, like gardening and horseback riding, Hamilton clearly recalls what it takes to weather the ups and downs, and lessons learned from the day-to-day battle of getting a small business off the ground. “I think it really boils down to being a personality that’s tenacious, you just keep doing it,” she said. “It sounds like a cliche, but it helps to love what you do.” For more about Island Air, http://sji-islandair.com/

OPALCO Honors Women in Business Meet Amy Saxe, Member Services Supervisor Amy came to OPALCO in 2010 with more than 20 years experience in the finance world, applying financial and project management skills to develop and implement creative solutions in process efficiency, quality management and customer service. She earned her B.S. in Business at Indiana University and is an enthusiastic lifelong learner. “I’m happiest when I’m in a position to learn something new. At OPALCO, it is all about energy.” After serving in top management positions for Washington Mutual and JP Morgan Chase in Seattle and South Carolina, Amy adjusted quickly to island life and loves the switch to the cooperative model of business. Her business philosophy – co-op or corporation – is the same: she believes in the power of people working together to achieve a common goal. At OPALCO, that translates to education and energy conservation. And, to that end, Amy will be transitioning into a new position by year end: adding Energy Services Manager to her role. She looks forward to the opportunity to continue to improve member outreach and program awareness, enhance self-service tools, and educate members about the importance of conservation. Volunteerism is another strong asset that Amy brings to OPALCO. In addition to her own community service with Friends of Moran and Salmonberry School, Amy created and coordinates OPALCO employee work parties in the community. Give her a call if you have a need our co-op volunteer team can help you meet! Amy considers herself a homebody – but applies the same work ethic to her play time. She always has multiple projects going on at once: restoring furniture, knitting gifts, taking care of her chickens, and spending lots of time with her daughter, whom she partially homeschools. Together, they are learning to play the ukulele, enjoy arts and crafts projects and are currently studying the history of solar power.

item comes in, and she’ll always call if the sales price is more than $100.She tries to maintain a balance of classic and contemporary clothes for both men and women, although 90 percent of her sales are women’s clothes, shoes, handbags and jewelry. Because she has 800 clients that bring her things, she can be choosy - first for quality, second for brand name - names like Donald Pliner shoes, Anne Fleischer vintage ribbon dresses, Johnny Was dresses, even a Chanel couture suit. A subspecialty is about 500 name-brand designer handbags. Many items come in unused, with original tags; most items sell for less than half of the original price. She’s still active every day as a real estate agent with Windermere. “Real estate is coming back,” she says, “I’m still calling real estate clients and clothing accounts, telling them about new properties on the market or new clothing acquisitions they might want to buy.” Because she knows her customers, she knows styles and sizes that suit them. Local people are her main market for clothing; outof-towners buy most of the houses, she says, but she’s always ready to sell clothing to tourists or houses to locals. Although she modeled two hats at once for a photo, and although she moves seamlessly between careers, Debbie Dardanelli really wears only one hat: businesswoman.

So, for a woman who envisioned someday working in a profession where she would be of help to people—one with the gift of gab and a masters degree in social work as well— being co-owner of the Carx Doctor and point-person for customer relations has turned out to be a perfect match. “You know, when you’re in college they like to tell you to find a job doing what you like to do,” said Creone, guru of scheduling for the automotive maintenance and repair enterprise. “I like people, and I like helping people. It’s so important to me that people understand what’s involved and what they’re paying for.” Investment in a home-based business appears to have paid off for the Creones, Gina and husband Lauren, who founded the company shortly after relocating from New York City to Friday Harbor in spring 2004. The couple will celebrate 10 years in business together this coming year. “You have to work at it every single day,” Gina insists. See Communication, Page 22

Women’s liberation today? For many it starts with owning your own business Flexibility is key; six lessons learned from the ‘Great Recession’ By Victoria Compton, EDC director Special to the Journal

s the most recent US Census shows, women still earn only 77 cents for every dollar that men earn. While some of that is attributable to the fact that women are often employed in lower-wage industries, when all variables are controlled for (hours worked, college major, employment sector), women still earn nearly 10 percent less than men in identical positions. With statistics like that, it’s easy to see why women are heading to the business license office in droves. And for the past 20 years, women have been doing just that: locally and nationally, they’ve been starting businesses at a much higher rate than men. Nationally, women-run businesses will create over half of the 10 million new small business jobs expected in the next 5 years. In comparison, by late-Great-recession only about 16 percent of jobs were created by women-owned businesses in the US. Women entrepreneurs learned a lot during this past recession. Some of the key business strategies that women

business owners employed to weather those tough times: n Using social media as a business tool. Women were already by far the majority of social media site users. In Victoria Compton fact, there’s been a 50% increase in social media marketing by women-owned businesses during the past three years. n To weather the recession, women entrepreneurs tended to reduce the number of hours worked by their employees instead of laying them off, which meant that when the economy picked up, they didn’t have to start from scratch with a new workforce. n During the recession, 40 percent of women-owned businesses increased their involvement with civic, social and many women entrepreneurs learned early-on how important this form of customer communication can be. And school activities, which fostered their businesses, increased exposure for themselves as community entrepreneurs, and created value for their communities. Thinking about starting a business or taking your business to the next

level as a woman entrepreneur? Here are some tips: n Ask for help! I’m putting that in full caps, because so many women entrepreneurs won’t ask for help. Each day’s baby – because they don’t know whom to ask, because they don’t want to be a bother, or because they’re just too busy running their businesses to stop to ask. I’m here to tell you that there’s help out there for you – people who really want to see you thrive and succeed. Call me. Or ask a successful woman entrepreneur for insight. Or go to a Soroptimist meeting – the collective entrepreneurship knowledge there is tremendous. n You need to have a marketing plan to succeed in business. If you have one but haven’t looked at it in a while (over a year), you need to rethink it – marketing platforms are changing at a phenomenal rate (done anything on Vine lately?). n Write down your dream. Then take one tiny step every single day to realize that dream. The first step can be something as simple as Googling business loans created specifically for women-owned small businesses. Right now is a great time for women to start businesses – loan rates are low and the economy is picking up. Few events are as exciting as starting a business, and few occupations more fulfilling than piloting your own financial ship through the ocean of life. Thank y ou for voting Best Aes me thetician

“Some of the nicest people we’ve ever met.” That’s what Laura Flaum, coowner of the Spring Street General Store and Deli answered when asked what she and co-owner David Flaum think about San Juan Island after their second year in their popular location in downtown Friday Harbor. Small wonder that they have almost doubled in size opening their deli next door, complementing the extensive beer and wine selections offered in the General Store. Both entities have since added catering to their growth list. Many local events have been catered by them including the first annual Film Festival along with functions for PIMC, Chamber of Commerce, Rotary and Lion’s Club. They give credit to the wonderful, local community for their support.

“But it’s more successful than we ever thought it would be.” It didn’t come easy. They worked hard, worked together, scrimped and saved, and passed on purchases deemed non-essential, a rough compromise for a woman with a thing for handbags. “It’s been kind of tough, I’m a shopper,” Gina said, “but I just had to cut it off.” They worked out a strategy for the business and putting down roots in Friday Harbor as well, buying the cheapest house in the neighborhood, fixing it up mostly themselves, expanding the business slowly, in stages, careful not to overextend. They figured out a formula that capitalizes on their individual strengths and skills.

Collaboration and respect for what each other brings to table make the business hum. “We kind of balance each other out a bit,” she said. Born and raised in Queens, Gina, 35, a self-professed “people person” prides herself on being able to explain the mechanics of automobiles in a way that just about anyone can understand. It’s important that people know, she said, why changing fluids is important, not just that it’s needed. “The more you know about your car the happier we are,” she said. The couple first met in New York City. While attending graduate school, Gina was working at a convenience store that shared space with an automotive repair shop that Lauren was managing at the time. A native of Port Orchard, Lauren spent 15 years in New York City training and working in the auto repair industry after living

and working in Friday Harbor for a spell as a young adult. He’s got 22 ASE certifications to his credit. “He really cares about the cars,” Gina said. While visiting relatives in Port Orchard in 2003, the couple spent a few days on San Juan Island, long enough to convince Gina that Friday Harbor would be their new home. She recalls communicating clearly to her husband what his task would be. “I told him you’d better get busy figuring out a way to get us to be able to move there,” she chuckles. “And when we got here, we just started working.” And they’ve been working together, and working well, and enjoying each other’s company while building a business from the ground up ever since. “We’re super proud of the work we do,” Gina said. “We want people to be educated about their cars and we want their cars to keep going.”

Fight of a lifetime: allies await in battle against cancer Orcas-based services

Special to the Journal

iving in San Juan County is a fabulous privilege and a gift that comes with unique challenges – mainly transportation. When islanders fall critically ill and need intensive medical care accessible only by boat, there’s a network of support to ease the burden. “If you gotta be sick, this is the place to be sick,” laughs San Juan resident and cancer patient Cathy Cavanaugh, citing enormous community support in the islands. “It’s huge when you’ve got positive support. They’ve got statistics: your recovery rate is better, your cure rate is better. I can certainly understand that.”

San Juan-based services

The recent opening of the Peace Island Medical Center (http://www.peacehealth.org/peace-island/services/cancercenter/Pages/Default.aspx) cancer treatment center has revolutionized cancer treatment for county residents, especially San Juan residents. The center offers oncologists, chemotherapy treatments, care for central lines, lab work, nutrition support and pharmacy services. Call the cancer center at 378-1739. “It’s very patient-centered,” said Cavanaugh, who is receiving care there. “I’ve felt very well taken care of.” Peace Island’s Bridge Assistance program offers one-time write-offs of up to 100 percent of expenses incurred by uninsured or under insured patients in need, but representatives expect the need to drop drastically with the advent of Obamacare in 2014. Peace Island can arrange free taxi rides for patients between the ferry and the hospital through the Round Towner taxi service. Oncology nurse Dawn Alger functions as a single point of contact for patients trying to navigate a sometimes bewildering schedule of appointments, lab tests and diagnostic scans. “I’m kind of their GPS system,” said Alger, who follows up with patients at home. “They can contact me for everything.” For treatments needed outside Peace Island, the Soroptimists International of Friday Harbor coordinate a Cancer Treatment Transportation Project (http://www.sifri. org/community-projects/cancer-treatment-transportationproject-2/), providing ferry tickets and transportation by car to medical appointments. They also coordinate with the San Juan Eagles to provide flights when needed. For more information, contact Julie Hanks at (360) 317-5086 or email soroptimistferrytickets@gmail.com. San Juan Eagles pilot and coordinator Vicky Thalacker started a nonprofit program to fly cancer patients in 2001 with the support of 16 other pilots. The Eagles have provided an average of 200 flights annually to Skagit, Anacortes and Bellingham, and can also arrange free rental vehicles from the Skagit airport. Donations defray the cost of fuel. For more information, contact Vicky Thalacker at 378-4578.

For example, we were unable to discover any support systems based specifically on Shaw, but many services offered by the larger islands are accessible by Shaw residents as well. Many of the organizations work together to help county residents receive the help they need. All of the nonprofits listed above rely on fundraisers and donations to continue providing these services to cancer patients, and donations are always welcome.

Orcas Island Mercy Flights (376-3201 or 317-4086) has about nine pilots ready and willing to fly cancer patients to medical appointments, reducing hours-long ferry and vehicle treks to just minutes. “Technically we have a 25-mile radius [for flights],” said coordinator Audrey Wells. “It gets bent.” While Seattle is a bit out of range, pilots fly patients to radiation and chemo treatments in Friday Harbor, Bellingham, Mt. Vernon and Anacortes. Fuel costs for each flight run from $35 to $50, and half can be reimbursed to the pilot from a fuel fund created by donations. There is no financial information required to participate in the program. Wells said the Friday Harbor program has also pitched in to fly Orcas residents in the past. “If any pilot is interested in becoming a Mercy Pilot, it would be one of the most rewarding things they can do,” said Wells. The Orcas Cancer Support Group led by Bogdan and Carol Kulminski meets on the second Thursday of each month in the fireside room of Orcas Island Community Church from 5 to 6 p.m. “Everybody’s welcome,” says Carol, including caretakers and family members of cancer patients. She said attendees often linger to continue forging connections long after the official meeting has ended. Call 376-4198. Lahari (http://laharionorcas.org) supports in-home hospice care through grants. Recipients often include cancer patients. For information, call 1-888-685-1475. Lahari also funds free caregiver classes taught every quarter by Sally Coffin, Lahari board secretary. “Our mission is to assist the aging population to live safely in their homes for as long as they want to,” said Coffin. While Hearts and Hands is not cancer-specific, its trained volunteers provide practical and emotional support for 1-2 hours per week to assist isolated, ill, frail, elderly or disabled adults to maintain independence and improve their quality of life. The Orcas Senior Center also provides some respite care, mobility equipment and other forms of assistance.

Friday Harbor had little success in slowing down the Mountaineers’ (6-1) high-octane rushing attack, and found little momentum of their own on the offensive end.

Peter Holt looks for room to run against the Mount Baker defense.

Senior C.J. Woods sliced through the fog, hauled in a pass from quarterback and scampered 30-plus yards for a touchdown, as Friday Harbor scored on their very first possession of the second half. But the Wolverines, trailing 35-7 at the time, still

With one starter returning and one of the youngest rosters ever, Travis Majer wasn't quite sure what to expect. As it turns out, if a won-loss record is any measure, the 2013 Friday Harbor volleyball team has proven to be one of the best. The Wolverines bagged victory No. 3 in a row and ninth of the season with a sweep on the road Saturday, Oct. 19, over Blaine. With the win, Friday Harbor claimed its third victory of the year over a 1A regional rival, clinched no worse than a No. 3 seed in the opening round of postseason play, and improved to 9-1 on the season. That’s right, nine wins, one loss. “It’s been a long time coming,” Majer said of that heady won-loss mark. The team suffered its only loss at Nooksack Valley. Though not always dominant, the team has clawed out a win even when it hasn’t been on the top of its game. Against Blaine, they fired on all cylinders. “It’s probably the best match we played all year,” said Majer, now in his ninth year at the helm. “We went through a bit of a rough patch for a while but I think they’re really starting to gel.” Still, the roughest is yet to come. With La Conner (11-0) and Lynden Christian (9-1) waiting in the wings, Friday Harbor began its toughest fourgame stretch of the year Tuesday, Oct. 22, in a showdown at home against La Conner, and with first-place in the Northwest 1A/2B League standing up for grabs Next: Following La Conner, the Wolverines host Shoreline Christian Thursday (4:30 p.m.), Lynden Christian Saturday (1 p.m.), and finish the regular season on the road at Darrington, Oct. 28.
