‘Growls’ in wake of Navy flights New plane generates big sound, rattles nerves on Lopez By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

Residents of the San Juan Islands, especially those living on the south side of Lopez and San Juan, probably think the name the Navy chose for its new EA-18G electronic warfare aircraft “Growler” - is fitting. Even though complaints from the San Juans represent less than one percent of the total noise complaints received at the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, according to Mike Welding at NAS Whidbey, islanders from as far away as Waldron Island are telling the Journal and the county council that they are bothered by increased noise from the new planes, which are gradually replacing the 1970’s era EA-6B Prowlers as the fleet’s electronic warfare jets. The naval air station is conducting its third environmental review in 10 years of noise and other impacts from thousands of landings and takeoffs conducted at Ault Field near Oak Harbor and the Outlying Landing Field near Coupeville. The EIS is prompted by the addition of 13 more EA-18s and a contract to train Australian pilots on the planes at NAS Whidbey. The prior reviews were environmental assessments; this EIS See FLIGHTS, Page 4

First baby of 2014

His parents had a plan, but they have Michael now instead By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

It is easy to understand why James and Nicole Coddington are increasingly comfortable with learning to expect the unexpected. After a dozen years together, the Orcas Island couple decided about a year ago that they would pass on having children of their own, given their age, both on the cusp of 40, Nicole’s health concerns (she suffered a severe spinal injury at an early age), and given their financial resources and the number of people already living on the planet. They underscored that decision on Valentine’s Day, agreeing that James would have a vasectomy. And he did. End of story? Not by a long shot. Evidently, the universe had something else in mind. On Jan. 2, at 7:16 p.m., Nicole gave birth to the couple’s first and only child, Michael Victor Coddington, at University Hospital in Seattle. So much for family planning. “You could say it’s mostly my fault,” James said. “I was supposed to have my sperm level checked but a couple friends who’d had it done told me that it wasn’t really necessary, that you don’t need to do it and that it would all be okay. So I didn’t.” Weighing in at seven pounds and 13 ounces, and 21 inches in length, Michael arrived in this world about a week past his due date (Christmas Day)

Islands ignored by coal port EIS By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

The San Juan County Council is “disturbed” that the scope of the environmental impact statement for the Gateway Pacific Terminal project apparently pays no attention to San Jan County. At its Jan. 7 meeting, the County Council approved a letter to the Corps of Engineers, the state Department of Ecology and Whatcom County - the three “co-lead agencies” which jointly will produce the EIS - that asks for specific consideration of the

and after an arduous 38 hours of labor for his mother, an unexpected adventure in itself. Doctors insisted on inducing labor because of the mother’s age, Nicole said. “It was rough,” she said. “I’m just glad to be on the other side.” And the couple are way beyond glad that forces other than themselves apparently were at work in determining the future size of their family. “He’s just cute as a button,” Nicole said of her newborn son. “He’s so adorable, so precious. You can go ahead and call it the universe but it feels like there was some kind of higher power at work to make it happen. Now it feels so right.” Born on the second day of 2014, little Michael earns the distinction of being the first baby of the year born to parents living in San Juan County. It’s the second year in a row that

Orcas man contests land-use convictions Appeal filed over convictions for use of building without proper permits By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

An Orcas Island man is contesting two criminal convictions for violating local development rules for his use of a building constructed on his property without permits and without a county-approved sewage disposal system. In late November, Friday Harbor attorney Lawrence Delay filed an appeal in San Juan County Superior Court on behalf of his client, Errol Charles Speed. He was convicted by a jury in September of unlawful use or maintenance of an unpermitted structure, a misdemeanor, and of failure to have an approved sewage disposal system, also a misdemeanor, at the conclusion of a trial in District Court. Speed was sentenced on Nov. 6 to 90 days in jail with 90 days suspended for two years on each count, and fined $1,000 with $750 suspended for two years on each count as well. He was ordered by Judge Stewart Andrew to obtain county approval on the sewage system within 120 days and to submit the necessary paperwork for the building to comply with local regulations within 60 days. Two other misdemeanors brought against Speed in connection with the case, unlawful occupancy of a building and making false or misleading statements to a public servant, were dismissed by Andrew after the jury failed to reach a unanimous decision on either. Criminal prosecution is an exception rather than the rule when disputes over land-use or code violations arise, according to Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord. The county attempts to resolve such disputes first through education and information about local regulations, he said, and by seeking voluntary compliance from the presumed offender. But in those circumstances where rules are being flouted and interactions become adversarial, Gaylord said the

county will pursue compliance through criminal charges. The county first sent Speed a notice of violation in early January of 2012 but was prevented from inspecting the building until obtaining a search warrant in October. Criminal charges were filed in November. In mid-December, the Freedom Foundation aired a video entitled “Tales of Tyranny – The Errol Speed Story,” in which he said county officials never asked to see the property. County officials assert that letters and emails were sent asking to set up a date for inspection of property and the building in question. According to Gaylord, Speed’s attorney denied the county access to the property by setting out criteria for inspection, which was found “unacceptable” to the county. Delay declined to comment on the appeal, and referred to a legal “brief ” that will be filed with the court by Jan. 10 for information about the cause for challenging the convictions in higher court. Gaylord said that Speed requested and was granted a “stay” by Judge Andrew in filing for permits while the appeal is under consideration of the court. In the district court case, Speed argued the building was constructed under provisions of the county owner/builder program as an accessory agricultural building, and that because it was under 1,000 square-feet in size, it was exempt from needing a permit. In addition, he argued that county officials conducted an illegal inspection of his Minnow Creek Road property by relying on aerial photos to obtain a search warrant. At trial, prosecutors argued that the building was used as a residence, and submitted photographs showing it was furnished with a bed, couch, kitchen, wood stove, dining table, and constructed with skylights and solar panels, and with an attached deck, measured 1,332 square-feet in size. In the online video, Foundation Property Rights Director Glen Morgan asserts in prosecuting Speed that local officials “over-criminalized what should be minor infractions” and that the sheriff, prosecuting attorney and district court judge decided to “criminalize poverty in San Juan County.”

News briefs Founder of NW Tech okay after Shaw plane crash

Keith Jefferts, founder and President of Northwest Marine Technologies, is back at work at company headquarters on Shaw Island after crashing his de Havilland Beaver airplane into a bank of trees, apparently while taking off from Shaw Island’s Wilding Farm Airport on Jan. 3. Jefferts suffered minor injuries. He was transported by Airlift Northwest to

Bellingham’s St. Joseph’s hospital, where he was treated for cuts and contusions and released. Jefferts, who is in his mid-70s, was reached by telephone at his office on Shaw Island, but had no comment. The cause of the crash is unknown at this time, but, as is their usual practice, the FAA is investigating the incident before releasing definitive information. This is the fifth crash since 1992 on Shaw Island listed on an “airplane acci-

dents” website; (airplanea c c i d e nt s . f i n dt h e d at a . org/d/d/Washington/ShawIsland). Crashes in 1992 and 1994 are listed as fatalities. Two people died in the 1994 incident. The 1992 accident description listed one death and one serious injury. Crashes in 2002 and 2010 were “non-fatal.”

The plane is shown in recent photographs as amphibious, able to land on both land and water. Another photograph on the same website (www. d h c - 2 . c om / i d 6 4 3 . ht m ) shows the plane in earlier years, without pontoons, as a Zambian Air Force plane.

EIS: Continued from page 1 impacts of the project on San Juan County. The impacts in question were detailed in a letter prepared and submitted by the council in 2012 during a monthslong EIS scoping process that included hearings in Friday Harbor and six other locations around the state in that year. That letter specifically asked for an “area wide EIS” that would “consider the cumulative impact of the transportation, storage, shipment, and use of coal” on the Salish Sea ecosystem and on the health of San Juan County’s citizens and economy. A joint release of the three co-lead agencies in July, 2013, rejected the idea of an area-wide EIS, saying instead that the environmental review of the project “will closely study… direct effects at the site and evaluate a broad range of indirect and cumulative impacts likely to occur within and beyond Washington.” In its latest letter, the council wrote, “Most importantly, we are disturbed that none of the ‘co-lead agencies’ recognize the obligation to include the concerns that we have expressed specifically for San Juan County.” Alice Kelly, a planner for the Department of Ecology working on the Gateway Pacific project EIS, would not comment on the council’s letter until all parties had received and considered it, but she pointed out that the EIS will consider all “reasonably foreseeable impacts and effects that can be attributed to this project” other than the impacts and effects of the mining projects in Montana and Wyoming, which are regulated by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of

Land Management. In other Jan. 7 meeting activity, the council discussed the draft revisions to the critical areas ordinances and set the public hearing date on the ordinances to Feb. 4. The council also unanimously elected Rick Hughes as 2014 council chairman and Bob Jarman as vice-chairman.

Goldman Sachs sells 49 percent investment in SSA Marine Investment banking giant Goldman Sachs has sold its 49 percent interest in Carrix Inc., the parent of Gateway Pacific lead developer SSA Marine. Carrix, the holding company for world-wide port operator SSA Marine, announced on Jan. 8 that the Goldman Sachs private equity infrastructure fund had sold its 49 percent interest in Carrix back to the Smith-Hemingway family, which in turn sold the stock to Fernando Chico Pardo. Pardo is a Mexico-based investor whose private equity investment company, Promecap, is majority owner of a transportation infrastructure company that operates airports in Mexico. Bob Watters, a Carrix senior vice-president, said the transaction was not related to the company’s proposal for the commodity terminal at Cherry Point and will not affect the company’s commitment to the project. Watters emphasized that the terminal at full operation will handle a variety of commodities, including coal, and that Carrix operating unit SSA Marine will “continue to press on” in developing the GPT Terminal. However, Crina Hoyer, Executive Director of RE Sources for Sustainable Communities, an opponent of the terminal, issued a statement that the transaction is “yet another sign from Wall Street that coal export is a losing investment. …[C]ommunities across the region are saying no to this bad deal because of health, climate, environmental and economic impacts. We can do better than coal export both in Bellingham and the Northwest.” Goldman Sachs confirmed the transaction, but neither Goldman or Carrix would comment on the value of the investment.

Baby:

Continued from page 1 In addition to a newborn son, James said the couple has been on the receiving end of a string of good fortune and countless “blessings” ever since the baby was conceived, on Easter, and they decided to “surrender to the universe”. For example, James,

a software designer and 3-D animator, said that he recently ran into a fellow islander who unexpectedly offered him a job in his field of expertise, one that may well help put the family in a better financial position for quite some time. “He’s a bit magical,” James said of his baby boy. “He’s brought us an amazing amount of luck in so many different ways.”

to 74,000, which includes every departure, landing and engine test. Field Carrier Landing Practices, often referred to as “touch and goes,” numbered more than 15,000 at Ault Field and under 7,000 at OLF Coupeville in 2013. The number of EA-18s (“VAQs” is the navy designation) will increase to 79 in 2014 and 92 in 2018. By 2016, all EA-6B Prowlers will be retired. Because his residency district includes Lopez Island, closest in distance to the naval air station, Councilman Jamie Stephens has been informally designated as the council point man for NAS Whidbey, but all three councilmen have received complaints and have relayed those complaints to the Navy. Stephens has visited the base and communicated the recent concerns of Lopezians, some of whom have told Stephens of more overflights and a “different sound” from the new planes. “I’m supportive of the military,” Stephens said, “but I want NAS Whidbey to work with our communities to limit flights that go over people’s houses at night.” “I’ve heard complaints from all the islands,” said Councilman Rick Hughes. “I support the military mission on Whidbey, but I also want to make sure the naval base is considerate of their neighbors.” NAS Whidbey spokes-

FROM PAGE ONE man Mike Welding acknowledges that the EA-18s have a different sound than the EA-6 Predators. He doesn’t think the decibel level is higher, but admits the more powerful EA-18 engines have a “lower frequency” that may be more noticeable and that the more powerful engines and the shock wave from the planes may rattle windows more than previously. People on Whidbey Island have complained of broken glass after EA-18s have roared over their homes. “We perform a critical mission at NAS Whidbey,” Welding said, but he also acknowledges that a fullscale environmental impact statement is important to both the base and the community. “We are studying various alternative actions and schedules, and we’ll have a full EIS for review and comment in 2015,” said Ted Brown, public affairs officer with the Fleet Force Command in Norfolk, Va., which is conducting the EIS. Even though the Navy has held three community scoping meeting for the EIS, Welding says the base still wants to hear from local citizens who are affected by the airplanes. Comments and noise complaints should be provided to NAS Whidbey Island at (360) 257-6665, or via e-mail: comments. NASWI@navy.mil.

Bridging the gap; ‘Yes’ on M&O levy

On February 11th, voters will be asked to renew our San Juan Island School maintenance and operations (M&O) levy, which expires in 2014. This is not a new tax. Every four years, state law requires voters to approve their local school district M&O levies. We are asking you to approve this levy again. Please join me in voting “YES” for our award winning schools. “Basic Education Funding” as provided by the state of Washington is not sufficient to fully fund our school district’s programs. Nearly 20 percent of the San Juan Island School District’s budget is provided with this M&O levy. It makes up the difference between what it costs to operate the schools and what the state pays. Our school district, similar to most school districts in the state, uses this local

support to fund programs and teaching positions we consider essential. These dollars flow directly to our classrooms and after school programs, providing additional teachers and instructional staff. M&O levy funds support reasonable class sizes, staffing for music, visual arts, advanced placement, vocational tech, online classes and alternative options for all our students. This is not a new tax. San Juan Island voters have supported their schools at the polls for decades. Now it is time to renew the M&O levy for the next four years and we are asking you to “VOTE YES” and renew this levy again. BRENT SNOW Chairman, San Juan Island School District Board of Directors

Whistleblower a hero, not a villian

On Jan. 1 of this year the well-respected New York Times came out with an editorial arguing for clemency for Edward Snowden, pointing out how the NSA and other agencies have lied and continue to lie about its information gathering activities that impact each one of us. The Times editorial was quickly and evidently followed independently by a similar editorial in the Guardian, urging the same actions. The Times article pointed out how, despite President Obama’s assertion otherwise, that there was no way that Snowden, as an NSA “contractor,” could have brought his knowledge to

public attention without taking the actions as he did. Whistleblowers have not been treated well in this country, and there is yet no clear pathway that they can voice their concerns other than going directly to their supervisors who have been in charge of developing the questionable pathways that need examination. Snowden has brought to the public’s attention the serious ethical issues that were unknown to the vast majority of Americans, and that deserve public debate and analysis. Contrary to those in our nation’s capital who don’t seem to understand our Constitution, and to those international corporations who profit from and wish to maintain our “War on Terror”, whistleblowers such as Snowden are national heroes that have risked their lives and futures to preserve our civil rights. In my opinion, Snowden should have all charges against him dropped, given a scholarship to Harvard and the opportunity to get involved in governmental affairs to set our country on the right path once again. Remember that our Constitution starts out, “We the People”. Well, “We the People” have chosen to give our elected legislators the power to make laws and take actions. But when these actions are against the common sense of “We the People”, it is time to make our voices loudly heard and take back our country to the moral and ethical basis that our Founding Fathers intended. The speech that John F. Kennedy would have delivered on the day he was assassinated included the sen-

tence, “The righteousness of our cause must always underlie our strength.” Persecuting a national hero who put his life and liberty at risk to preserve our constitutional freedoms is not a “righteous cause”.

Editorial

As I See It

Kudos and Concerns

Student success demands support

he Journal applauds the Derelict Vessel Removal program and Joanruth Baumann for a job well done, not only for removing 75 unsightly and environmentally dangerous boats from the water, but also for revitalizing the program to the point that it’s become a model for the state. Local boaters and shoreside residents well remember rotting hulks and leaking illegal liveaboards which dotted bays and anchorages throughout the county, and sometimes sunk. Our waters are cleaner and safer now, but some 20 derelict boats still await removal and more derelicts can be expected. As Marc Forlenza takes the helm of the program, the Journal is encouraged by his past involvement in raising matching funds required by the state and by his evident dedication to build on Baumann’s successful tenure. Keep up the good work! While we’re waving a green flag for the DVR program, we want to raise an orange caution flag about two other current county matters. Both the Christmas eve traffic stop in Friday Harbor and the earlier tree-cutting at Mar Vista near False Bay raise questions of transparency, timeliness and justice. In both matters, the public and this paper are waiting for action. Nobody wants either the sheriff or Community Development & Planning to act rashly, but nobody wants the matters swept under the rug, either. Mainly, we want to know what happened and what our public officials will do to ensure that incidents like these events do not become accepted practice, either by design, denial or by default.

The M & O levy provides 20 percent of the district’s budget; let’s renew it By Deborah Nolan Special to the Journal

n Feb. 11, the San Juan Island School District will be asking residents to renew the Maintenance and Operating (M & O) Levy. Ballots for the Feb. 11 election should arrive in mailboxes beginning the week of Jan. 20. The levy, which runs on a 4-year-cycle, pays for supplementary staffing, enriched educational programs and many of our basic expenses, such as fuel for the buses and power to heat the buildings. Many believe that these basic costs are funded by the state, but they are not. The levy accounts for approximately 20 percent of the yearly district budget. While levies began as way to pay for extras, such as expanded curriculum, extra instructional time, advanced placement classes (AP), sports, full bus service and the arts, school districts have been engaged in a back-and-forth battle with the state to adequately fund basic education for years. In 2010, the San Juan Island School District joined a class-action law suit with more than 400 other districts and organizations to force the state to meet its constitutional “paramount duty” to fund basic education. King County Superior Court Judge John Erlick ruled in the plaintiffs' favor, in what is known as the McCleary decision, and in 2012 the Washington State Supreme Court upheld that decision. This ruling put in place a time-table with deadlines as far out as 2018 to come up with a plan to dedicate additional educational funds to fully fund education in Washington state. While this decision is being implemented, legislators have encouraged school districts to reach out to their communities for extra program support, to find private or nonprofit organizations to fund books, science or music classes. We have PTAs in the elementary, middle and high schools, Purple and Gold Booster Club to support high school athletic students, Island Rec, which levies and pays for all high school sports, Island Museum of Art to support art in the middle and elementary schools.

Students study in the career counseling college center at Friday Harbor High School. The center is a target for a nearly $10,000 cut leaving the space open for students, but reducing their time with adult supervision and guidance.

The San Juan Schools Foundation pays for all new curriculum adoptions in the district as well as equipment and materials used in the classroom. Private donors support our K-12 Science Outreach Program through the University of Washington. We are a leader and example to the rest of the state in working with our community partners for funding and volunteer support. Even with all the community support we are so lucky to have, our school district still has to make very tough decisions over where to make cuts. Funding makes a difference. We must maintain the high quality programs we have here related to humanities and the arts, and continue our work toward further implementation of the nationally recommended STEM focus, providing program support for the development of science, technology, engineering and math that is so critical to the future of education. Please join me in supporting the passage of the M & O Levy. Remember, this levy accounts for approximately 20 percent of the yearly school district budget. Our students are counting on you.

Unfair advantage at work in the skies By Stan Wagner

Special to the Journal

y wife and I live on Waldron Island, and for years we have had a subscription to Airlift Northwest, as have most Waldron residents. Airlift has always served Waldron well, and, there has never been a medical emergency on the Island that Airlift could not come to the rescue. That service is now endangered by policies of the air-medical dispatch system, operated by San Juan EMS, and is illustrated by my medical evacuation experience. On April 11, 2012 a table-saw kickback resulted in severe injuries to my right eye. A short time later, my wife found me bloodied and barely conscious. She immediately called the Sheriff ’s dispatch line to request emergency help, emphasizing the severity of my injury. The emergency team that showed up on Waldron was from San Juan EMS, flying on Island Air’s medevac plane. The EMS team was brought to our house, and after looking at my wound, contacted Dr. Michael Sullivan

Does EMS dispatch favor Island Air ambulance service over Airlift NW? for further instructions. Once sedated, I was loaded onto the San Juan EMS/Island Air Ambulance plane and taken to Bellingham’s St. Joseph’s Hospital. There, after a further assessment, doctors determined that they were neither equipped nor staffed to provide the treatment I needed, and they sent me via Airlift’s fixed-wing plane to Harborview Medical Center, our regional trauma center I reached the Harborview emergency room around 7:30 p.m., some 5 1/2 hours after being evacuated from Waldron, a disastrous delay if there had been a chance to save my eye. Since, in all likelihood, I would have been transported directly to Harborview had Airlift Northwest come to my aid initially, I asked Airlift why they did not respond and was told they did not receive a call-out

at the time of my accident, but, yes, Airlift did have aircraft ready to fly to Waldron that day. Airlift Northwest depends on making a certain number of emergency flights to San Juan County to make it economically viable to continue serving the islands from Bellingham. However, San Juan EMS, a taxpayerfunded part of the San Juan Island hospital district and their “partner” Island Air Ambulance Inc. are now attempting to get as many calls as they can, reducing substantially the calls to Airlift from San Juan County and putting future service at risk. The problem for Airlift is that San Juan EMS, now a direct competitor, runs the emergency medical dispatch service. I believe that San Juan EMS should be removed from the dispatch function to remove any conflict of interest. The county medical director and the medical director of San Juan EMS and Island Air Ambulance should be a different person. The protocol for the new mediSee SKIES, Page 8

Letters:

cal dispatch should be set so that Airlift is the first responder to any medical emergency and only if they are not available should San Juan EMS\Island Air Ambulance respond. This would protect us all with the assurance that Airlift would be the primary provider and would not lose further flights. The county needs someone to step up to deal with this problem, and it has to be at the county or state level because the San Juan Hospital District does not speak for all islanders. All of us, including those living on San Juan Island, are at greater medical risk if Airlift Northwest’s services to the islands are curtailed, and we all should be working to ensure that does not happen. — Editor’s note: the Wagners have been property owners and residents of Waldron Island since the early 1990s.

Continued from page 6 It was Christmas Eve, the wagon was brightly lighted and they were moving at a very slow speed… they were caroling. The violation was on Christmas Eve, the wagon was full of happy, singing young people. I think it was a traffic violation that should have been ignored, or certainly handled in a more professional manner. And, if in fact he actually put his hand on his weapon in a confrontation with an unarmed citizen, he should not be allowed to carry a firearm… at least not a loaded one.

As I recall, Ranger Lewis also used his firearm in the argument with an unarmed citizen. I’m beginning to wonder if it’s really necessary for our law enforcement officers to be armed as a general rule. DON ANTONIO San Juan Island

he star of the show comes in three different sizes: small, medium and large. The costumes come in waves, and from all corners of the imagination, 150 pieces in all. The music, well, the music comes from right on stage, in the form of the “Queen’s Court Band.” And the backdrop for the scenery? That’s a Power-Point production. Prepare to be bedazzled and entertained, as the Friday Harbor High School Drama Group pulls out all the stops and puts its own whimsical, almost cartoon-like twist on Lewis Carroll’s classic tale of a girl who unexpectedly finds herself on a distorted, misshapen adventure and in a world where even the most familiar things no longer seem to make sense… curiouser and curiouser, as the saying goes. It’s none other than “Alice in Wonderland,” in two acts, based on an adaptation by Anne Coulter Martens, and with a tip-of-hat to the past — it’s the 20th anniversary of the high school production of “Alice” under the direction of former drama instructor Fred Yockers (but without goats) — and with an eye toward the future as well. It will be the first time in years that student musicians have been on stage to perform the musical accompaniment for a high school production. Director Jane Maxwell Campbell,

now in her second year at the helm of the drama group, is determined that it won’t be the last. “What’s really exciting for me is the marrying of music and theater on stage again for Friday Harbor High School,” she said. Maxwell Campbell credits newly arrived high school band instructor Sara Bost for rallying members of the jazz band for the performance. The Queen’s Court Band consists of eight musicians in all, with Borst herself in the mix, conducting and playing the flute. The score also includes three solos by members of the cast singing original tunes composed by Frank Ellis, a former musical and theatrical colleague of Maxwell Campbell’s, which he contributed to the show. While the adaptation by Coulter Martens adds a bit more playfulness and lightheartedness to Carroll’s classic, the play features all those adorable, kooky characters that Alice fans are familiar with, plus one: Humpty Dumpty. There’s the Cheshire Cat (Sklyar Moeder), White Rabbit (Kendall Calvert), Mad Hatter (Halla Warner), the Gryphon (Eric Sable), the Dormouse (Rachel May) and, of course, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (Isabella Brown and Maddy Marinkovich). Alice is played by Madrona, Courtney Bell and Summer Fox. Maxwell Campbell describes the production as a “costume drama” and “visual feast”, and a “multi-media” production that’s both light in its essence and suitable for all ages. It also promises to be interactive as well, with an “Alice” costume contest for kids featured as part of Sunday’s matinee. The Business Partner for the production is Kings Market. Purchase tickets at SJCT box office, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tues-Fridays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturdays, and one hour prior to performance. For more info, www.sjctheatre.org.
