FH apartment complex fetches $940K at auction New owner vows no change in age-old rent restrictions, for now
By Scott Rasmussen Journal Editor

Eighth-grader Emily Cain emerged victorious in FH Middle School’s annual spelling bee competition, hosted by San Juan Community Theatre, Jan. 31.
The Friday Harbor Village apartment complex was purchased by a Seattle-based investment firm for $940,000 at auction Friday, in the lobby of the San Juan County Courthouse. Carson Rasmussen of Fairview Investment Fund, who submitted the winning bid at the Jan. 30 foreclosure sale, said the firm’s intent for the apartments is to “rent them” and that he and his partners have no immediate plan to alter the rent restrictions on the 26 units that have historically made them affordable for low to moderate income households. “For right now, the plan is to let all the tenants stay and keep rents as they are,” Rasmussen said. “As they leave, we may consider lifting the restrictions on those that become vacant but at this point we’re not really sure about that.” Because of long-standing legal restrictions for sake of affordability, monthly rents at Friday Harbor Village for income-qualified tenants typically cost about $700
for two-bedroom units, of which there are eight, $800 for three-bedroom units, of which there are 12, and $875 for the four-bedroom units, of which there are six, according to the company website. Located at 445 Carter Avenue, Friday Harbor Village was previously owned by Friday Harbor Village Limited Partnership and managed by Ad West Realty. Friday Harbor Village Partnership, with offices in Seattle and Las Vegas, owed $849,793 on the property as of May 1, 2013, according to a published legal notice about the pending foreclosure sale. At auction, bidding began at a fixed minimum of $916,906. Rasmussen, who first offered $920,000, outbid Rolf Dagg with a final bid of $940,000 after a series of back-and-forth bidding at the auction, which was overseen and administered by San Juan Island’s Leslie Brennan. The sale of Friday Harbor Village comes at a time when affordable rentals have become increasingly harder to find on San Juan Island, according to local housing advocates. The pool of affordable rentals continues to shrink as more second homes and cottages are converted to vacation rentals, advocates contend. Rasmussen said incentives for bidding on the apartments included the attractiveness of the local market See AUCTION, Page 3
Feds drag feet on fate of captive orca Protestors take to the streets to rally for Lolita’s release By Emily Greenberg Journal Reporter
Orca Network’s Howard Garrett has been on a press tour in sunny Florida. He spoke to individual reporters and at widely attended press conferences. His words were broadcast across major news networks, and he was even featured on Good Morning America. His media exploits were on behalf of Lolita, the Southern Resident orca whale that’s been living in captivity for more than 40 years at Miami’s Seaquarium.
As the National Marine Fisheries Service weighs in on its final decision of whether or not to include Lolita in the Endangered Species Act listing of the Southern Resident Killer Whales, over a thousand activists from throughout the nation gathered in Miami on Jan. 17, for the “Miracle March for Lolita,” a rally aimed at bringing Lolita home to her native waters in Washington state. “We marched to show the world we’re on Lolita’s side,” Garrett said. “Grand protests reinforce legal efforts, raise issues, answer questions and propel the media.” The march was organized by Robin Jewell, a Michigan native captivated by Lolita’s plight. Lolita was taken from the Puget Sound in 1970. Captured in Penn Cove, she was somewhere between three and five years old. While

San Juan man accused of dealing heroin to stand trial A San Juan Island man accused of selling heroin and methamphetamine to an informant working with local detectives is slated to stand trial on a trio of felony drug charges in mid-March. On Jan. 30, Troy Leonard Kirk, 44, pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to two counts of delivery of heroin and to one count of delivery of methamphetamine, both of which are Class B felonies and carry maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both. Bail was set at $50,000 pending a March 16 trial. A 38-year island resident, Kirk was arrested Jan. 16 at his Friday Harbor home following an investigation by the Sheriff 's department in late summer. He allegedly sold less than a gram of heroin on two occasions (a total of 1.2 grams for $175), and $20 worth of meth on one occasion, to an informant who volunteered to make a series of undercover drug buys as part of the investigation. The informant, who claimed to have bought drugs from Kirk before, hoped to

gain favorable consideration from law enforcement officials on pending criminal charges by participating in the investigation, according to court documents. It's the second time that Kirk faces prosecution for alleged drug dealing in the past four years. Following a 2011 arrest for alleged delivery of methamphetamine, he pleaded guilty to "solicitation to commit" delivery, a lesser offense, and was sentenced to 24 months of community custody under a drug-sentencing alternative in early 2012. Following repeated violations of court orders associated with the sentencing alternative, he was ordered to serve 60 days in jail, 30 of which he was allowed to serve on work crew.

Felony theft defendant dodges hearing, $10K arrest warrant issued
A $10,000 bench warrant was issued for the arrest of a Burlington woman who lives part-time on Orcas Island, and who is accused of using a credit card belonging to an elderly woman to purchase $500 in ferry tickets. On Jan. 16, Sheri Denielle Deraimo, 25, failed to appear at an arraignment hearing in San Juan County Superior Court. She faces nine counts of identity theft, a Class C felony, and was released on $10,000 bail following a December 31 preliminary hearing and pending arraignment on the charges. If arrested and convicted, Deraimo would face maximum penalties of five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both. According to prosecutors, Deraimo used the numbers of a credit card belonging to a 95-year-old Orcas Island woman to purchase $507 worth of ferry tickets online over a two-week period beginning in mid-August.

The woman reportedly left the credit card at Island Market after buying groceries at the Eastsound store in early summer. The card was retrieved by her daughter-inlaw in late July. With cooperation of the state ferry system and its surveillance cameras, and later with a search warrant served on Google, detectives targeted Deraimo as the primary suspect in the alleged theft after tracing license plates, ferry ticket purchases online and the email account through which the purchases were made. — Scott Rasmussen

Would-be legislation limits data collection by drones Worried what those unidentified objects up in the sky are up to? Well, so is Representative Jeff Morris of the state’s 40th legislative district. The Washington state House Technology and Economic Development Committee held public hearings Jan. 21 on two proposed bills from Rep. Morris (D-Mount Vernon) to strengthen privacy laws regarding new and emerging technologies. House Bills 1093 and 1094 would limit the collection of Washingtonians’ personal data by use of unmanned aircraft (drones) and various emerging biometric data collection tools. As drones become more commonly owned by companies and everyday citizens, state lawmakers are looking at ways to protect citizens from privacy violations. Morris’ proposed legislation (HB 1093)
Bills seek to protect privacy, restrict use of new technology would prohibit drones with active sensing devices from collecting personal information — including images of an individual on private property — without the individual’s consent, unless the federal government has provided specific authorization or the drone is clearly labeled with the name and contact information of the owner. “As drones become more popular with hobbyists, we need to protect citizens from the collection of private information without their consent,” Morris said. “Just as you can’t hop the fence onto your neighbor’s private property and take photos of them in their bathroom, you shouldn’t be able to fly
your drone in front of their window and do the same.” Technology allowing companies to collect biometric data is not limited to science fiction—iris scans, facial recognition Contributed photo and voice recognition technologies already Jeff Morris exist, but have yet to be largely used in the commercial and retail industries. Morris’ proposed HB 1094 would establish regulations and limitations on how this information could be collected and used in the future. Under this legislation, the collection of biometric identifiers of an individual for a commercial purpose without consent

There would be an exemption for sharing biometric data with law enforcement under warrant. “This bill would establish some rules of deployment before we get into the usual catand-mouse game we often experience with new technologies,” Morris said. “This gives consumers control over their most personally identifiable information. In a way, we are trying to create a sense of copyright ownership over your own face.” The bill would protect commercial collection of biological identifiers such as fingerprints, DNA, hand geometry, palm prints, iris scans, and facial imaging, and behavioral identifiers like voice and gait recognition.

The area will be netted off and provisioned with fish she’s used to eating as she re-acclimates to life in the wild. Orca calls have been picked up on the Lime Kiln hydrophone from as far as Port Angeles, a distance of about 20 miles. Garrett estimates that when L-pod comes up around Discovery Island and Haro Strait, Lolita will hear their calls and answer. A contingency plan for perpetual care will be in place in the event that Lolita doesn’t reunite with her family. Jared Goodman, PETA lawyer and spearhead of the original petition to include Lolita in the ESA listing, is confident NMFS will chose to place Lolita under federal protection. His hope is that the agency will enforce her release. If not, legal action will ensue to prove that the orca’s current situation at Seqaurium constitutes as harm and harassment.

Local woman goes the distance for ‘Doxies’ By Emily Greenberg Journal Reporter
From the pitter patter of little paws to the jingling of leashes and collars, you can hear Elizabeth Farr coming. The self proclaimed “crazy Dachshund bag lady,” raises money for the veterinary care of rescue Dachshunds, and helps get them placed in forever homes. “I feel compelled to help Dachshunds,” Farr said. “I hear the stories from the rescues and I have to do something.” It all started when Farr’s Doberman was having anxiety issues, and needed a friend. She got her first Dachshund from Oregon Dachshund Rescue, a Portland-based no kill shelter with a tendency toward long-torso and shortlegged dogs from California, Oregon and Washington. She began long-distance volunteering for the shelter by making and selling reusable shopping bags at the local farmers’ markets, holiday market, and San Juan Island Co-op. Farr makes the bags from items she finds at thrift stores. Proceeds from Farr’s bags go toward vet bills as many of the dogs that come into the shelter are Journal photo / Emily Greenberg Elizabeth Farr with her crew of neglected and require medical attention. Farr started out with just 14 bags for sale, and now Dachshunds Bridget & Lola. has a pile of them stacked higher than a Dachshund on its hind legs. In her years of raising funds for “Doxies,” Farr has become more than just a bag lady. She sells decoupaged vintage day cases, vests and sweaters for pets, potted plants, and dog beds made out of sweaters— “so when they lay in them it looks like they’re being held,” she says in cooing voice. “If it’s not nailed down,” she said. “I’ll try and sell it.” She’s doing well for these little hot dogs. In 2014 Farr raised over $4000 for the Oregon rescue, and put in over 700 hours making and selling her products. She also makes trips down to Portland several times per year to help make room in the shelter, which becomes inundated with Dachshunds. She calls these trips “dog runs,” and has had as many as five dogs in her car for the ride back to San Juan. The dogs she picks up are placed at the local animal shelter in Friday Harbor, where they are put up for adoption. From litters of puppies to full grown dogs, the adoption rate of the Dachshunds Farr brings in is good. She feels very satisfied when she sees “alumni doxies,” around town with their new owners. The most recent round of Dachshunds Farr brought to the local shelter went fast, except for one. Radar is a one-yearold, Basset-Dachshund mix still looking for a home. Farr describes him as an energetic, cheerful and happy dog that was neglected, but not abused. Farr has a big heart filled with stories of triumph and tragedy.

down in Oregon when the Dachshund Rescue got word of a dog in California that was going to be put down. Thanks to a slew of people, the dog was transported up the I-5 corridor and Farr received her in Portland. She brought her back to Friday Harbor, where it turned out the dog was pregnant and gave birth to seven healthy puppies, all of which were adopted from the Island Then there was the female dog that Farr brought to Friday Harbor after a homeless man surrendered her to the Portland Shelter. The dog developed a cough which turned out to be distemper—a contagious, viral illness with no cure. Farr slept on the floor of the isolation room with the dog the night before she was put down. But everything she does is worth it, even if Farr can only show a Dachshund a little love in its life. Most of the time, she gets the change to absolutely spoil them. Like her current crew of two, Bridget and Nigel, both clad in stylish vests made from a designer skirt. “It’s my duty to spoil them,” she said. “And to help pay for as many Dachshunds as I can.” If you are interested in meeting Radar visit the animal shelter in Friday Harbor, and keep an eye out for Farr’s next round of Dachshunds coming through.

Board fumbles in nixing broadcasts
Despite the two EMS levy failures in 2014, the San Juan County Public Hospital District No. 1 Board and EMS administration have not made meaningful changes, and continue to run business as usual. At a recent SJCPHB meeting, all five board members voted not to approve video or live-streamed meetings. They all felt that it was not cost-effective at this time as they are now under “tight budgetary constraints” due to the levy failure. They were also not sure if there was enough interest. Technology is available now that makes it easier for the public to be involved in government without having to be somewhere at a specific time. Costs are reasonable and more affordable than even a few years ago. For less than $2,400 a year for the basic service and a minimal investment of $100-$200 in equipment, the public could view the meetings by video or, for a little more, a live-streaming of the hospital board meeting as it’s happening. Why would the board not want to provide better transparency to the taxpayers? Not only would this give more of the public better access, it would also allow the hospital board to show their good faith by taking steps to regain the trust that people once had with EMS. Board Chairman J.Michael Edwards stated he had a difficult time maneu-

vering the county website as one reason against streaming. It’s really not very difficult for a person of average intelligence to learn and there’s always a young 14-year-old that could show you the ropes. In the end, the board decided to poll the public for their interest. I believe EMS’s mismanagement of their budget, failure to show fiscal responsibility and their lack of transparency raised questions of doubt during the election. Now would be a good time to have more eyes on the hospital board so we can all see some meaningful and long lasting changes happening within EMS and SJCPHD#1. LESLIE BRENNAN San Juan Island
Writer in error on WSF project costs
The letter from Herb Schiessl titled “Money not well spent at ferry terminal,” Jan. 21, pg. 6, questions the costs to implement the reservations program, pointing to a recently-awarded $199.5 million contract. Mr. Schiessl is correct that SR20 MP55.67 is the DOT milepost for the Anacortes terminal, but that has nothing to do with that particular contract. That was for one of the famous highway mega-projects, the western approach to the new 520 floating bridge, and has nothing to do with ferries. As mentioned, the costs for the reservations system do include some additional personnel at Anacortes, which frankly should have been added some time ago. And there is a project on the WSDOT books to widen the SR20 approach to the terminal, but not until

UFOs seen in skies over Vashon, too
I saw the orange lights in the sky that Jim Dunn saw, (“Friday Harbor man reports UFO sighting,” Jan. 28, pg. 2) but the month before. It was a clear night. I went to my sliding doors to pull the curtains. I had just looked at my watch, when I saw them. This is what I wrote of the experience: On the night of Dec. 22, 2014, at 7:35 p.m., for five or more minutes, I saw fireballs in the sky over the north end of Vashon Island, Wash. I immediately went outside. All was silent. The strange phenomena that I can only describe as fireballs were extremely bright, orange disks with pinkish-bright edges or centers. I might have seen a bit of metallic rim to one, as I tried to observe as closely as I could. The five disks were beautiful and seemed individually either to burn up, or fade off in space. I live on a hill and watched, mesmerized, until below me on the island, five more fireballs in extremely rapid succession shot over the trees in a west to east trajectory, seeming to rise out of Puget Sound, skimming from the horizon upward into the night sky. The fact that there was no

sound confirmed to me that these were not flares (they did not fall downward), and not fireworks, or drones. To add to my astonishment, the objects became jittery, then flew into two formations. One fairly rectangular, the other more linear. I called my in-laws, living on the road above, to look out their window. My sisterin-law later described what she had seen as a big red ball in the sky. The objects never moved toward Seattle, staying in front of my vision, northward, until they were gone. I tried a local editor here, to see if others had witnessed the event, especially since Vashon is the site of the recent movie, “Incident on Maury,” about a UFO in 1947, but to no avail. So I am so grateful to you, Dennis, the Journal, and to Jim Dunn for publishing this. And giving me somewhere to share this happening. I tell every one I can. And one of those friends, in

Of carbon, trees and tax breaks
Several years ago a friend expressed her frustration about her need to drive a car, which only added to the destruction of the air quality and contributed to global warming. The lack of oxygen in our atmosphere is a solvable problem. Trees are what transform CO2 (carbon dioxide) into oxygen. The number of old growth forests left are less than 5 percent at this point. Incentives therefore need to be in place that preserve and sustain the forests. There are some Washington state programs that attempt to steward forest land through a tax break on the land, e.g. “Designated Forest Land,” but it requires a show of profit from har-

vesting those same trees at some point. Not all, but a large percentage of owners agree to harvest their trees in order to receive the tax break. This option doesn’t serve forests, animals or future generations. Instead, it makes the situation worse by exacerbating the problem. After pondering this dilemma, I came up with the following possibility as a partial remedy: I have thousands of trees at least 10 years old. I will lease the trees’ ability to transform CO2 to oxygen to someone who wants to offset their fossil fuel or carbon output. Twenty trees are leased for 10 years at a cost of $35 per tree, i.e., a one-time payment of $700 covers the length of the 10-year contract. The monies received go into planting more trees which in turn produce more oxygen, a stable forest and a sustainable tax solution for people who want to have See LETTERS, Page 7

Where have all Island agriculture at the crossroads the babies gone? Grange calls for regulatory restraint
I
used to think babies came with the flow. Not this year. After having a Baby Derby in the Journal for nearly 30 years we’ve come to a new record… with 31 days in January, and checking with all the local hospitals, we have yet to know who will be crowned the 2015 Baby Howard Derby winner in San Juan County. Schonberger What’s going on around here? (Or Columnist should I ask, “What wasn’t going on this past March?”) As we write, we’re on the deadline for January’s customary Baby Derby Winner in San Juan County. Back in the 90s, we averaged about 10 contenders in the month of January. We even had five born on one memorable New Year’s Day! The stakes have doubled since then (now there’s over $600 in value in our so-called “baby booty,” a collection of family friendly donations provided by 23 island businesses and local merchants). The weddings have certainly kept pace. Even the ferries haven’t helped out. I can think of at least five babies born on the ferries during my 35 years on the islands (I hope the reservation systems will help). One thing is for sure. We will breathe a deep sigh of relief, as will the birthing corridors at St. Joseph’s, Skagit Valley, Islanders and Peace Health, with whom we check each day, since our potential derby winners lined up at the starting gate New Year’s Eve. Be reassured… it will still be a winner even if it comes in February, God bless it! — Go with the F.L.O.W. (Ferry Lovers Of Washington)

in tug-of-war over pot production By Boyd Pratt & Roger Ellison
At its Jan. 7, 2015 business meeting, San Juan Island Grange No. 966 resolved to oppose the proposed moratorium on marijuana production. Even though the San Juan County Council has withdrawn the proposal, San Juan Island Grange No. 966 would like to make clear its position towards the regulation of marijuana production in San Juan County. The Grange movement in the United States is rich with the traditions and struggles of farm families and rural farm communities. The local, state, and national granges have always, and continue to, advocate politically on issues important to rural families, including the right to farm, good government, land use policy, rural access to new technologies and vital services, job development, and strong rural economies. Part of the mission of San Juan Island Grange No. 966 is “to support a resilient community of growers, makers, and keepers” and “to foster social and political engagement.” In 2012, the voters of San Juan County overwhelmingly endorsed the passage of I-502, legalization of marijuana, by the largest majority in Washington state. A small number of local farmers, entrepreneurs, and county residents have endeavored in good faith to comply with all existing local and state rules, laws, and regulations pertaining to developing their farms and farm products. The proposed San Juan County moratorium on marijuana production would have placed new and unnecessary restrictions on growers without substantiating an imminent emergency. The Agricultural Resources Committee and the San Juan County Community Development and Planning Department are already committed to a working group to study marijuana farming and other agricultural issues in 2015. San Juan Island Grange No. 966 resolved at its Jan. 7 business meeting to oppose the proposed moratorium on marijuana production, because: n It is a core purpose of the county government to maintain such commons as air, water, topsoil, healthy ecosystems, fair economic systems, and just political systems;

n The county should make preservation of farm land and support for local agriculture an economic and land use priority; and n Decisions concerning agriculture and protection of farm land should come from research and recommendations conducted and written by individuals and organizations made up of farmers, the ARC, SJC CD&P, and others qualified to study and analyze existing farm conditions and new farming strategies. Grange No. 966 felt that regulations that come from a joint ARC/CP&D working group must recognize the following points: • The best agricultural soils in our county must be reserved in perpetuity for growing food and feed; • Greenhouses are an appropriate way to increase resilience by increasing the growing season for many food and feed crops; • Food production is so fundamental to the resilience of a community that it must at times take precedence over concerns over noise and light pollution; and • Marijuana is now a legal agricultural crop and should be recognized by the county and treated the same as the cultivation of food, feed, wine grapes, hops, spirits, food grade and medicinal herbs, and all other recognized agricultural crops with regard to policies, regulations, and all other governmental actions.

FH falls to free-throw savvy Falcons By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
A feisty and fleet-of-foot Falcons team made the most of a lavish number of opportunities at the free-throw to deal Friday Harbor a 60-53 come-from-behind defeat, Saturday, on the Wolverines home court. The loss in the Jan. 31 non-league contest, a preview of a possible early round 2B regional post-season match up, snapped a 10-game win-streak by the Wolverines (11-0 league, 14-3 overall), who last lost dated back to Dec. 20. They defeated Mount Vernon Christian 61-25 the day before to tally a fourth consecutive win over a Northwest 2B/1B opponent by 20 points or more. The Falcons proved to be an entirely different type of team.

Visitors knock down 29-of-34 free-throw tries; Wolverines win-streak ends at 10 "They made us play at a pace we’re not quite used to," Friday Harbor Coach Rod Turnbull said. "That's how we expected they'd play. But our guys battled back after they took the lead and we had a chance at the end. We had a couple of turnovers in the last minutes that didn't help." Auburn Adventist (15-2) senior Kye Robinson was a perfect 20-of-20 from the free-throw line and tossed in a game-high 35 points, including back-to-back three-pointers in the waning moments of the third quarter that tilted a back-and-forth contest the Falcons way and put the visitors up by six, 45-39, heading into the final period of play. Senior Peter Strasser carried the offensive load for Friday Harbor in the opening half, tossing in 14 of a team-high 18 points before the break. Gabe Lawson, John Gustafson and Kyle Jangard scored eight apiece in the game, and Luke Stromberg added six. The Wolverines, plagued by foul trouble throughout the contest and trailing by four with just over a minute on the game clock, played without their scoring leader down the stretch, as Strasser was whistled for a fifth and final foul with 1:33 remaining in regulation. Over the course of the 32-minute game, the Wolverines knocked down six of only 10 attempts at the free-throw line. The Falcons buried 29 attempts in 34 trips to the charity stripe. The Wolverines jumped out to an early advantage, capitalizing on its size advantage in the paint and a succession put backs on the offensive glass to stake an 18-7 lead at the close of the opening period. The Falcons battled back into the contest with a tenacious, ball-hawking fullcourt press that disrupted Friday Harbor's offensive flow,

and with swift, decisive ball movement on the offensive end that led to a wealth of open looks from beyond the 3-point arc. Trailing by five with 3:30 left in regulation, junior Luke Stromberg knocked down a three-pointer to bring the Wolverines within two points. But the Falcons managed to keep the ball in Robinson's hot hand and the 5-foot, seven-inch senior guard netted 10 successive free throws to seal the victory for the visitors. Next The Wolverines will close out a 20-game regular-season schedule with three league games beginning Tuesday, at home, against Cedar Park Christian (6-6) followed by a pivotal contest against the Northwest 2B/1B League's second place squad, La Conner (10-1). They will host Concrete (2-9) in the regular-season finale, Friday, Feb. 10; tip off is 4 p.m.
Wolverines back on track Friday Harbor bounced back from back-to-back losses in league play to deal Auburn Adventist a decisive 48-33 defeat in a non-league contest, Saturday, at home. Clinging to a 3-point advantage after three periods of play, the Wolverines (8-3 league, 12-6 overall) caught fire on the offensive end down the stretch and outscored the Falcons 16-4 in the final eight minutes of regulation, sealing the victory in a game marked by sizeable swings in momentum. Trailing by 11 at the half, the
Falcons (8-8) outscored Friday Harbor 20-10 in the third quarter to draw within three points of the home team. Madi Kincaid tossed in a gamehigh 13 points, Alie Galt had 12 and Hayden Mayer contributed eight. The Wolverines tumbled into third place in the Northwest 2B/1B League standings following losses at home to Orcas, Jan. 27, and at Mount Vernon Christian Jan. 30. They travel to La Conner Friday, and host Concrete Feb. 10 in their regular-season finale.; tip off is 5:30 p.m.

f only beer and wine come to mind when you think of fermentations, think again. Fermented foods like sauerkraut and kombucha contain live bacteria. When consumed they can help restore and maintain balance in the gut, and result in an improved overall health. These types of good bacteria are known as probiotics, and are similar to the live cultures found in yogurt and kefir on the grocery store shelves. The root of the word probiotic comes from the Greek word pro, meaning “promoting” and biotic, meaning “life.” According to Friday Harbor Holistic Health’s Nicholas Corrin, probiotics are especially helpful to people who have been taking antibiotics and thus need to repopulate the gut with good bacteria. But these pro-life organisms are good for everyone. They promote a healthy immune system, help keep the lining of the colon strong but flexible, and help with the absorption of vitamins and overall digestion. “Health starts in the colon,” Corrin said. “The best thing anyone can do is make their own fermented foods.” Making your own fermented foods is cheaper than buying it. Organic
While intimidating at first, making ‘booch is really easy and inexpensive. Kombucha is often called “mushroom tea,” as the culture used during fermentation looks like a mushroom. It’s slightly sour, effervescent and can be flavored with different kinds of fruits after bottling. Kombucha needs a SCOBY for fermentation. SCOBY stands for “symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast.” You can order your SCOBY as part of a kombucha kit, you can get one from a kombucha making friend, or you can make your own, (look up how to make a kombucha SCOBY online or in a fermented foods book at the library).
What you’ll need:
•One quart sized jar •Three and a half cups water •Two bags green or black tea •One fourth cup white sugar •SCOBY •Half cup Starter tea or distilled white vinegar 1. Heat water 2. Dissolve sugar 3. Steep tea 4. Cool tea to room temperature. Once cooled add tea to jar with scoby. 5. Add starter tea or vinegar. Starter tea is kombucha from a previous batch, or from a store bought bottle. Make sure you use raw, unflavored kombucha for your starter tea. As time goes on and you make continuous batches, save a cup of kombucha from each batch for the next one. 6. Cover with paper towel or coffee filter. Allow to ferment 7-10 days. Ferment longer for a more sour taste and shorter for sweeter. • Note: Mold is unlikely but can happen. Trouble shoot and discard if mold appears.
sauerkraut runs close to nine dollars a jar, and bottles of kombucha are three dollars each. While startup costs may be a little expensive, the supplies will last for many batches. The following recipes use one quart for size. You can double the recipe and so on for larger batches. Make sure everything is kept clean and sterile, especially your hands and jars.
You know, that stuff we put on hot dogs? Traditional store bought kraut is usually pasteurized, which kills most of the probiotics. For no more than the cost of a head of cabbage and about 15 minutes of labor, homemade sauerkraut is cheaper and healthier than traditional brands.
What you’ll need:
•One medium sized head of cabbage •One and a half tablespoons of a nonadditive sea salt •One quart sized wide-mouth jar • One small jelly jar 1. Chop cabbage into thin slices and transport into a large mixing bowl or pot. 2. Sprinkle salt onto cabbage. 3. Work the cabbage by squeezing it until the juices start to come out. While tough at first, after about 10 minutes the cabbage will go limp and float in its juices. For an efficient method of pounding out the cabbage’s put the bowl or pot on the floor, kneel down and punch the cabbage down. 4. Transport cabbage and its juices into the jar. Push the cabbage down below the juice. Make sure the cabbage is submerged and not in contact with air.Weigh the cabbage down below the juice with a smaller canning jar filled with water. 5. Cover with coffee filter or paper towel and rubber band. Allow it to ferment at room temperature between 65-70 degrees. Your kraut is “done” when it tastes good to you. It can ferment for up to a few months. • Note: Bubbles, foam or white scum at the top are signs of fermentation. Scum can be skimmed off the top. Discard if moldy. If kraut turns brown that means its been exposed to too much air and should be discarded.

HEARING NOTICE SAN JUAN COUNTY NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL BOARD ANNUAL PUBLIC HEARING ANNOUNCEMENT PURPOSE: To review and adopt the San Juan County Noxious Weed List for 2015 and to discuss noxious weed control priorities and weed law enforcement guidelines for 2016. RCW 17.10.090 directs each county weed board to create its own noxious weed list within ninety days of the adoption of the state noxious weed list. This county weed list automatically includes all Class A noxious weeds and all Class B noxious weeds that have been designated in that county for control by the State Weed Board. WHEN: Monday, February 9, 2015 at 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM. WHERE: Community Room, Skagit Valley College, 221 Weber Way, Lower Level, Friday Harbor. The Washington State Noxious Weed Control Board has added four new species (or groups) for the 2015 Noxious Weed List, one of which is designated for control: Ravenna grass, Saccharum ravennae, is a Class A noxious weed. Eradication is required. Pampas grass, Cortaderia selloana, is a Class C noxious weed. Jubata grass, Cortaderia jubata, is a Class C noxious weed. Italian arum, Arum italicum, is a Class C noxious weed. Shiny geranium, Geranium lucidum, is reclassified from a Class A to a Class B noxious weed, designated for control by the WSNWCB everywhere except Clark County. Scientific names of three species will be updated: -Cardaria draba à Lepidium draba -Cardaria pubescens à Lepidium appelianum -Centaurea jacea x nigra à Centaurea x moncktonii Finally, State Weed Board officer terms will increase from one year to two years under WAC 16-750130(4). In order for this list to become accepted for San Juan County, it must be approved by the County Noxious Weed Control Board based on public input received at this meeting. Current and future operations of the County Noxious Weed Program will also be discussed. Also, the Board is requesting public participation so that we can gather more information about local weed distributions as well as suggestions for the 2016 weed list.
