State drags on pot permits 17 vie for single FH marijuana outlet; lottery will decide By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
San Juan County residents and visitors can now legally puff on a joint, but you won’t be able to buy it here (unless you have a medical marijuana prescription) until at least July of this year. T h e Wash i ng ton State Liquor Control Board, which regulates all aspects of non-medical marijuana production, processing and sales under Initiative 502, has yet to license any retail marijuana stores in San Juan County. At least one marijuana production license has been issued in Spokane to a medical marijuana purveyor named Sam Greene, but no licenses of any kind have been issued here. Three marijuana retailer licenses have been allocated to San Juan County, one each for San Juan, Lopez and Orcas islands. Producer/grower applications and processor applications are not limited by regulation. Seventeen of those applications See PERMITS, Page 4

A revised design for replacement of the Spring Street Landing Building features a pitched roof and outdoor decks.
New look for Waterfront Revised design for Spring Street Landing Building is just the start By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
Ten million dollars, maybe more, and 10 years, possibly more, will work a transformation of the Friday Harbor waterfront not seen since the harbor’s canneries, lumber mills, warehouses and wharfs eventually succumbed to fire or age. In late 2013, the Port of Friday Harbor drew together a team of planners, landscape architects and maritime engineers to provide a conceptual design and longterm plan for the waterfront. Makers architecture and urban design, J.A. Brennan landscape architects and Moffatt and Nichol engineers put in several hundred hours of public outreach and private consulting to fashion the Port of Friday Harbor Waterfront Master Plan. Port Director Marylin O’Connor maintained that the master plan process should meld with the Spring Street Landing building design process. “The process gave us a chance to analyze the problems and opportunities we see along the waterfront and get some new ideas from the public,” O’Conner said. “It’s an outline that will give general guidance over the next ten years or so.” The 30-page “draft for public comment” cost about $70,000 and is on the Port web-
site at www.portfridayharbor.org/wp-content/ uploads/2012/04/Master-Plan-3-11-2014.pdf. The result is a three-phase conceptual design with 19 listed projects, including four major structures. Port Commission Chairman Mike Ahrenius is pleased with the result, but cautions: “… nothing is in concrete. It’s an appropriate plan, it’s our vision for the future, but it’s only a snapshot in time. Realistically, by the time we get there, some of it will be different.” Construction includes the Spring Street Landing building replacement and the bulkhead replacement in “near-term projects” during the first two or three years; a parking deck on top of the present upper parking lot, a mixed-use building and a performance space and pavilion in “mid-term projects” over the second three years; and a new marina services building to replace the Port offices among “long-term projects” during the final five or six years. The mixed-use building, west of the present traffic circle, will probably use the plans and land originally intended for use by the Customs and Border Patrol. Other projects include extensive landscaping, pathways and sidewalks, a main pier overlook, a new yacht club entry court, and terraced seating in front of the performance space. How will all this be paid for? The recent insurance settlement for the former SSL building will pay about half of the new building cost, but all other master plan costs must be paid for by the Port from operating revenue, See WATERFRONT, Page 4

Because it is so highly contagious, even a single case of measles is considered an outbreak by the Center for Disease Control. So, San Juan Island, home to four confirmed cases in less than two weeks, is, by definition, in the midst of an “outbreak.” But for better or worse, the island is not alone, as similar or more widespread outbreaks have occurred recently in New York City and on the campus of Ohio State University, in Columbus.

Scenic Byway bears signs aplenty More than ninety San Juan Islands Scenic Byway ‘wayshowing’ signs will be posted on Orcas and San Juan islands during April - eight and one-half years after the beginning of the Scenic Byway process in 2005. The San Juan Islands Scenic Byway became Washington’s newest state byway in the spring of 2009. Eighty-five metal 12 inch by 18 inch signs, posted by Scenic Byway partner San Juan County Public Works, will make it easier for visitors to find attractions, parks and amenities along the Byway on both islands. In addition, eight 60 inch by 27 inch ‘gateway’ signs will be posted at the Anacortes, Orcas Island and Friday Harbor ferry terminals. The signs were made possible by a national scenic byways grant, one of four grants received to date. Byway touring maps have been printed by the San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau each year since 2009. Online tours are on the Visitors Bureau’s website at www.visitsanjuans.com/tours. The San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau has led this project since 2005.

Outbreak:
Continued from page 1 “There’s one in California as well,” San Juan County Health & Community Services Director John Manning said. “And there’s an outbreak now in B.C. (British Columbia), south of Vancouver, and a couple of cases in Whatcom County linked to the ones in B.C.” The public health department circulated an “exposure alert” March 31 after confirming that a San Juan Island man had the measles and had been in numerous public places over a five-day period. Exposure to the disease would have occurred in the afternoon and evening hours of March 21 to March 24 in downtown Friday Harbor, possibly at

several restaurants, Cask & Schooner, China Pearl, The Bean, and at Kings Market on the afternoon of March 24. The incubation period for the disease is seven to eighteen days. Since the initial alert, Manning said that another three cases have been confirmed. The outbreak, however, has been limited to family and friends of those infected by the disease, according to the health department. A highly contagious respiratory viral disease, measles spreads easily when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes. The virus remains in the air up to two hours even after an infected person leaves the room. Those exposed to the virus and that have not been See OUTBREAK, Page 5

Schools boss nearly nets job in P.A. Thompson cites ‘career advancement,’ greater pay in pursuit of Port Angeles post The superintendent of San Juan Island School District is staying put—for now. Superintendent Rick Thompson was one of two finalist chosen from 36 applicants vying for an upcoming superintendent vacancy in nearby Port Angeles school district. But the job instead went to the superintendent of California’s Silver Valley Unified School District, located east of Barstow, near the Mojave Desert, when the Port Angeles school board selected Marc Jackson for the position in a unanimous decision March 27. Thompson was in Port Angeles to participate in a series of school district and community meetings earlier that week. “It was a good opportunity for me,” Thompson said. “I’m fully involved in my work here and I like my job. I saw the position as a career advancement opportunity.” Thompson, who began his tenure with San Juan’s public school district in 2010, cited an opportunity to manage a larger and more complex school district, as well as increased compensation, as motivation for seeking the job. The Port Angeles school district reportedly has $155,000 set aside for the base salary for a newly hired superintendent. A former teacher who moved to public education’s administrative ranks in 1992, Thompson joined San Juan Island School District following a five-year tenure with the Lynden School, the final two as superintendent. Previously, he served as a school administrator in Tacoma for nine years, in the roles of assistant principal, high school principal, and assistant to the superintendent. In Port Angeles, the public school district operates five elementary schools,
Almanac
one middle school, one high school, and alternative high school and vocational school, and boasts an enrollment of roughly 3,700 students. It also maintains a collaborative relationship with the Lower Elwha Tribe. In comparison, San Juan Island School District, with an enrollment of about 900 students, operates an elementary school, middle school, high school and Rick Thompson an alternative high school, four in all. The district also manages the Stuart Island school and participates in the Running Start program at Skagit Valley College. Student enrollment at the Silver Valley school district, managed by Jackson, is about 3,000. In addition to a greater student-body enrollment and more schools, Thompson noted that the number of faculty and staff in the Port Angeles school district is itself four times the size of San Juan’s. Interest in the two final candidates vying for the superintendent job was widespread in Port Angeles. “It was similar to the process of what I did here, but with a lot more stakeholders,” Thompson said of the 11-hour-long series of interviews in Port Angeles. Although the present school year is nearing its end, Thompson said business matters at the district are in full swing. A final design is near for replacement of the high school’s aging vocational shop with a modern science, technology engineering and math (STEM) facility, the cost of which will be reimbursed by a state grant of up to $1 million. Thompson said the district expects to put the construction portion of the project out to bid by April 23 and, under terms of the grant, will have one year to complete the project.

Seattle Optometrist Helps LEGALLY BLIND to See!
Just because you have macular degeneration (or other vision-limiting conditions) doesn’t always mean you must give up driving or reading. A Seattle optometrist, Dr. Ross Cusic, is using miniaturized binoculars or telescopes to help people who have lost vision from macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy or other eye conditions. “Our job is to figure out everything and anything possible to keep a person functioning,” says Dr. Cusic. “Whether it’s driving, reading, TV, seeing faces, check writing, bingo or bridge. We work with whatever is on the person’s ‘wish list.’”

Retailer applications from Orcas Island businesses were from The Cannabis Shop on Lover’s Lane and Token Herb on Crescent Beach Road. Marijuana processor license applications were filed by three Orcas Island business - Leslie’s Magic Touch on Eastman Road, Mt. Woolard Farming at the same address on Eastman Road and NW Connoisseurs on Lagoon Road. No processor applications were filed from Lopez Island and nine processor applications were filed from San Juan Island. Five marijuana producer or grower applications were received from Orcas Island and 14 from San Juan Island. No producer applications were filed from Lopez. The grower applications are from Billie’s Goat on Scott Hill Drive, D&M Green House 420 of Candlewood Lane, and Leslie’s Magic Touch, Mt. Woolard Farming and NW Connoisseurs. Attempts to identify and contact the persons behind these applications were unsuccessful, but have been requested under a Public Records Request from the liquor board. Local San Juan County officials have received letters from the liquor board asking if they had any objections to the liquor board issuing a marijuana license to the applicants. This “no-objection” procedure is similar to the liquor licensing procedure and does not refer to local zoning or permitting requirements that might later be imposed. County Council Chairman Rick Hughes said that no objections to any of the prospective licensees were filed. The liquor board announced on April 2 that they plan to conduct a “double-blind lottery process” later in April to select “winners” among the approximately 2,000 applicants for a marijuana retailer license, although 25 percent of applicants did not provide required documentation and another 20 to 50 percent of applications were disqualified because they were incomplete. Although marijuana stores in Washington will not open until July or later, marijuana sales to individuals started in Colorado last year at medical marijuana dispensaries in that state. Reports from that state from the Weed Blog indicated that January 2014 sales in Colorado were $14.02 million, which raised about $2 million in tax revenue for the state. Although meaningful revenue estimates have not been made available, the Washington Liquor Board estimates that retail prices for marijuana will be in the neighborhood of $350 per ounce, including 25 percent excise taxes at the producer and processor levels but not including the retail sales tax of the locality of the store.

grants, bond issues or partnering with others such as a developer, the town or even the Washington State Ferries. Grant funds are available for a wide variety of public port projects, but O’Connor cautions that grant processes are “highly competitive.” The Public Facilities Financing Assistance Program, the Boating Infrastructure Grant program and four state Recreation and Conservation Office grant
programs provide substantial funds, albeit usually on a competitive matching basis. There are also possible legislative appropriations, but that’s a tough sell in the present budget environment. O’Connor points out that the Port Commission can issue revenue and general obligation bonds without a public vote, but only, she says, “if the revenue stream exists to service the debt.” Funding will be discussed, and the plan voted on, at the Port Commission meeting on Wednesday, April 9, at 5 p.m., at San Juan Island Yacht Club.

AG Guild inherits Island Grown program The San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild has taken over responsibility for building the young Island Grown marketing program started under the auspices of the San Juan County Agricultural Resources Committee. The move follows recent strategic planning discussions within the Ag Guild as its multi-year effort to rebuild and repurpose the Brickworks property in the heart of Friday Harbor draws to a conclusion. “We see the melding of the Island Grown program with
the new marketing initiatives we are currently developing as a significant opportunity for synergism,” said Stephen Robins, Ag Guild board member Stephen Robins. “The move will help consolidate our commitment to strengthen the close connection among all members of the agricultural continuum — from farmers to value-added agricultural processors to consumers and the community at large.” More on marketing initiatives is forthcoming.

Sharron Lee Brown Crinean: 1931—2013 Sharron Lee Brown Crinean passed away quietly at home on Oct. 18, 2013 after a short illness. She was 82 years old. Sharron was born in Seattle, Wash., on July 18, 1931, to Naomi Florence Brown and Arthur Preston Brown. The most enjoyable highlights of her life were the times she spent as a stewardess with TWA, flying on the SuperConstellation aircraft, and her marriage to the late Tom Crinean. Sharron was a fashion model for a time and then began working in the judicial system at the King County Courthouse in Seattle, where she met Tom. Upon the passing of Sharron’s mother, Sharron and Tom married in 1978, and Tom relocated his Seattle dental prosthetic business to Friday Harbor. Sharron then served as court clerk to Friday Harbor Municipal Court Judge Carla J. Higginson, retiring in 1989 when the court was merged with San Juan County District Court. Sharron was an active and proud member of the American Legion Auxiliary. She was preceded in death by her husband,

Vote for Hudson for OPALCO board
San Juan County member/owners of the OPALCO co-op are being asked to vote in two new board members. Ballots will be coming in the mail starting April 11. Please take the time to seriously consider your choices. Steve Hudson was raised on San Juan Island and is deeply rooted here. He has been a member/ owner of OPALCO since 1967. In Steve’s words, “OPALCO is at a historic fork in the road. Members are the owners of the co-op. It is the rate payer’s money being spent. You deserve assurance and data demonstrating that it is being spent wisely, and that electric ratepayers are not subsidizing non-core pursuits.” Look at Steve’s work history: He has worked in the telecommunications industry his whole adult life, been responsible for capital and operating budgets of $10 to $15 million, responsibility for service to 50,000 customers and up to 150 employees. Steve knows the responsibilities of public utilities. Community involvement: San Juan Island school board, two planning commissions, economic development council, and three non-profit boards. Most importantly, in the over 50 years that we have known Steve, we know him to be an honest, caring, community minded individual who can be a tough,

Conflict? Skewed view lacks support
David Dehlendorf never disappoints. He is always willing to assert his particular view (last week’s Journal, “Posterchild for conflict of interest,” April 2, pg. 7) of how islanders should be allowed to live, think and act. David’s wife once served on the planning commission so he apparently feels entitled to express his dismay that not everyone on the commission shares his view of the universe. Mr. Dehlendorf has been told by the county prosecutor, more than once, that being associated with an organization that supports island property owners does not disqualify a citizen from serving on the planning commission. David’s skewed view doesn’t get much public support. It seems most islanders recognize a loaf of baloney when they see it. Even being head of the local Democratic Party doesn’t give his viewpoint much credibility with islanders. Not discouraged by a lack of public support, Mr. Dehlendorf and friends plod on, trying to use local government to impose

their emotional, half-baked notions of a tightly regulated community on their neighbors. In the past, David and the folks who play his tune have had an influence on local politics and policies far beyond their numbers. Lately their control of local events, politics and committees has eroded. Homeowners have come together to say enough is enough. The local citizens, many who support Common Sense Alliance, are pushing back. The result of people standing up for themselves is that now there are several people serving on the planning commission who are looking for rational, common sense solutions to planning for the future of our islands; a welcome change Mr. Dehlendorf opposes. There are other changes as well. David’s hand-picked candidates did not win the last council elections. There is a ways to go, but positive change seems to be gaining. For the average county citizen who wants to live and work in a community that is neighborly and not subject to the foggy logic of David’s environmental and political extremism, the change is welcome.

It is, however, their job to enforce these laws to any degree they feel is necessary depending on the circumstances. And they should not have to tolerate verbal abuse from those who do not exercise the responsibility to stand accountable for their actions or behavior when they choose to break the law, whether it be a minor infraction, or more serious offenses.

So consider this: if everyone would show these officers the same respect that one would give to our veterans of military service, then perhaps incidents like the one that took place on last Christmas Eve in Friday Harbor, need not escalate to the degree that it did. Some of these officers are veterans, and not only did they put their lives on the line to preserve our freedom to pursue the ideals we hold so dear in this great nation of ours, but they continue to do so right here in our communities.

V
oter turnout in San Juan elections has long been among the highest, sometimes the highest, of the state’s 39 counties— not just in presidential election years but year-in and year-out. While admittedly not an “apples-to-apples” kind of comparison, the same does not hold true when it comes to voting for the Orcas Power & Light Cooperative board of directors. Those elections have often been decided with a turnout of about 10 percent of the co-op’s 12,000 members, a far cry from the 60-plus percent turnout that’s typical of countywide elections, where the number of registered voters (12,011) is nearly identical to the co-op’s. Here at the Journal, we hope to see the turnout total rise, significantly, in the upcoming board election, especially given what appears to be on the horizon for OPALCO: its breadth and depth of investment in fiber optics and broadband carrying capacity. Six candidates are vying for two board positions (both in District 1, which includes San Juan Island). OPALCO has information on its website, and you’ll find articles and information about the candidates in the Journal and on our website. Take the time to become informed, and vote.
For the Record OPALCO board of directors candidate Steve Hudson was incorrectly reported as a member of a family that founded a local telephone company in the April 2 edition of the Journal, “Co-op election draws seven.” In the same article, Hudson was incorrectly identified as the author of a proposed OPALCO bylaw amendment, which has been authored and submitted by Steve Ludwig of Lopez. n Christine Beckert’s name was misspelled in a photo caption in the March 19 edition of the Journal, pg. 8, “We Serve… good motto for any group.” n

C
ommons Sense Alliance would like to set the record straight in response to statements made by David Dehlendorf in a recent rhetorical essay in the Journal (“Poster-child for conflict of interest”, pg. 7, April 2, 2014) and certain statements made by the Friends of the San Juans on the same day in a pleading to the Growth Management Hearings Board on the county’s recently adopted amendments to the Critical Areas Ordinance. First, we thought that Mr. Dehlendorf ’s piece must have been a day-late April Fools joke. While he is obviously no fan of CSA (or, we suspect, anyone who stands up to challenge the party line he supports), his comments display nothing but blatant mischaracterizations and/or confusion regarding the role of the Planning Commission, the county’s conflict of interest policy, and the Common Sense Alliance. Evidently, Mr. Dehlendorf wants to tell planning commissioners with whom they may associate. Like Mr. Dehlendorf, the Friends are also annoyed by CSA board members’ participation on the planning commission. The facts, however, are: n There are nine positions on the Planning Commission. Three of the planning commissioners happen to include CSA among groups with whom they associate.
n It is true that the Friends asked CSA board members to recuse themselves from the planning commission’s deliberations on the CAO amendments. It seems the Friends would also like CSA to simply go away, allowing Friends to continue controlling policy making in San Juan County. It is also true that CSA board members declined to recuse themselves, because there is no legal basis for it, as the prosecuting attorney has previously confirmed, and on several occasions. n None of the issues addressed in the recent CAO amendments that were before the planning commission were issues appealed by CSA. n Regarding the biggest change to the CAO in response to the Growth Board ruling (that is, converting the new ordinance to the Department of Ecology’s buffer approach), only two CSA board members were present for the vote. One voted “No.” The other “Abstained,” believing further analysis was necessary before recommending such a significant change. n CSA recently welcomed Brian Ehrmantraut to our volunteer board. And (in case you are wondering), Brian voted “Yes” on recommending the DOE approach. Does this sound like a “voting bloc”? Mr. Dehlendorf says he “trusts islanders to do the right thing.” CSA too, trusts islanders to see through his emotional outburst. CSA was formed to give voice to islanders who want the county to ask the right questions and insist on proper analysis before taking regulatory action. Thanks for your continuing support.

Rainy days: From sprinkles to storms Part 3: Storm water, septic tanks, on-site sewage treatment & disposal systems By Mark Tompkins, San Juan County Health and Community Services
What is storm water and why does it matter to you? San Juan County Surface and Stormwater Assistance Program offers a series of articles that describe how rain water drains onto or off your property. The series began (March 12) with a description of stormwater and services the assistance program provides, followed by causes and solutions to seasonal standing water, how to identify and address septic system failure, manage pastures for healthier livestock and improved water quality, and what we are finding in the water running off our land and into our marine waters.

hat do on-site sewage treatment and disposal systems have to do with storm water? Storm water and on-site sewage systems are linked in many ways. Improperly routed storm water can flood a drain field, causing the system to fail; failing or inadequately functioning on-site sewage systems can contaminate surface and storm water, and a curtain drain used to protect an on-site system can overload a storm water system. These are just some of the links between storm water and on-site sewage systems. As most people know, the majority of island residences are served by on-site sewage treatment and disposal systems. A typical 3-bedroom on-site septic system will treat and dispose anywhere from 70,000 to 100,000 gallons of wastewater per year. On-site septic systems provide excellent wastewater treatment. A well designed, constructed, operated and maintained on-site sewage treatment and disposal system should be able to perform its intended functions for the lifetime of the dwelling. Performing necessary, routine maintenance is essential to enable systems to perform trouble-free for many years. However, systems that exceed the

treatment capacity of the soil and/or are poorly designed, installed, operated or maintained can fail, causing public health concerns. The most serious public health concerns involve contamination of surface water and ground water with disease-causing organisms. So, how do you know if your on-site sewage system is failing? The term "failure" means a condition where the on-site sewage system does not adequately treat the sewage or by creating a potential for the public to come into direct contact with sewage. Examples and signs of a failure include: 1) Sewage on the surface of the ground. Signs include effluent pon-
ded over a drain field; effluent seeping out of the ground below the drain field; or effluent discharging directly into surface water or onto the ground via a pipe. This includes “grey water” (i.e. waste-water from kitchen sinks, bathtubs, washing machines, etc.) discharges. Typically the “effluent” will have an odor and will be slightly cloudy. 2) Sewage backing up into your house. This may initially start with sinks and bathtubs draining slowly with sewage eventually backing up into the fixture with the lowest drain (e.g. bathtub). 3) Sewage leaking from the septic See RAINY DAYS, Page 8

Rainy Days: Continued from page 7 tank or pump chamber. This type of failure may not be readily apparent on the ground surface but would be identified during a maintenance inspection. Typical signs of a leaking tank would be effluent levels below the outlet baffle. 4) Sewage contaminating ground water or surface water. These types of failures are difficult to identify and are generally only discovered by water quality testing. An exception is sewage effluent discharging into surface water from a pipe or other conduit. Failing systems are a significant public health hazard that can contaminate surface water and ground water with disease-causing organisms. Fortunately, help is available to assist property owners in reducing the risk of an on-site sewage system failure. Technical assistance is available from the Stormwater Assistance Program to help with operation and maintenance of on-site sewage system or storm water run-off to prolong the life of the system.

There are videos and brochures available describing how on-site sewage systems function, what materials are appropriate be put down the drain, types of materials that should never be introduced into the system and other useful operation and maintenance tips. Finally, in the untimely event of an on-site sewage system failure, there is financial assistance available to help with necessary repairs. San Juan County Health & Community Services has a low-interest loan program that provides funds at a low interest rate to repair failing systems. Technical and financial assistance is available from the Surface and Stormwater Assistance Program (SSWAP), at no cost, to help you consider ways to address your on-site sewage treatment needs.

muddy pastures? We can help: managing stormwater on agricultural land.” Club has helped to fund the program. These funds pay for two supportive San Juan Island School District paraeducators who staff study club, and for a healthy snack that is given to students at the beginning of each session. Thanks to United Way, homework is completed and study skills are improved. Students who attend appreciate the dedicated space and time to work on their homework and on their assignments.
One student made the following comment when asked about Study Club, “I think Study Club is awesome, more than awesome! Study Club is so quiet, you can get a lot of your work done.

rends come and go in the film industry, but one thing remains constant: songs and the silver screen are like peas in a pod. A symbiotic relationship, of sorts, in which both benefit by luster that they add to one another. Music and the movies go hand-in-hand to embody the soundtrack of our lives. In back-to-back performances, San Juan Island’s community chorus, the San Juan Singers, will celebrate this enduring, and endearing, relationship in its annual spring concert, Friday and Saturday, beginning at 7:30 p.m., at San Juan Community Theatre.

ies and others popularized thanks to the silver screen. One of the latter is Carl Orff ’s “O Fortuna” from the Carmina Burana—it’s opening chorus has a long history of use by the movie and television industries to both heighten and underscore dramatic scenes and messages; productions include Excalibur (1981), Speed (1984), Cheaper by the Dozen (2003), The Matrix Revolutions, and most recently, a Hershey’s syrup commercial. “We’ll have selections in a two-piano and percussion arrangement that Orff stated he actually preferred over the massive orchestral arrangement most often heard,” Michaels said. Animated films will also share the spotlight as the Singers’ song list will include well-known hits such as “Go the Distance,” from Disney’s Hercules, “When You Wish Upon a Star,” from Pinocchio, and “Let it Go,” from the widely popular and recent “Frozen,” starring featured guest vocalist Joely Loucks of Friday Harbor. In addition to Loucks, featured guest performers include cellist Sasha von Dassow, who will lend musical accompaniment on several numbers, as well as Sue Collado on clarinet, Michael Linehan on percussion, Grisha Krivchenia on piano and the Singers’ own Georgann Greene, on violin, and Teresa DeGraaff on timpani.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

Alaina Scheffer took first in the shot putt and Lenore Johnson finished second. Sophomore Meagan Wilson took first in the long jump, 13-feet 8-inches, and the girls 4x100 relay team, with Scheffer in the lead, also finished first. “I had to coax them into it,” Coach Darrin Scheffer said of the relay team. “They’re mostly throwers.
