Fireworks suspected in Goose Island blaze Legislators voting on state budget By Anna V. Smith Journal Reporter

A grass fire allegedly caused by a homemade firecracker started on Goose Island at 6 p.m. Friday, June 26 and is still smoldering. Goose Island is located off of Cape San Juan, between San Juan Island and Lopez Island. “As far as we can tell it was a fireworks-caused fire, based on witness reports,” Fire Chief Steve Marler said. “The last time I checked eagles don’t smoke, and we didn’t have any lightening, and there’s nothing else there.” According to a press release sent out from San Juan Island Fire & Rescue, neighbors on Cape San Juan heard a booming noise and saw smoke coming from Goose Island, and residents on Lopez Island saw flames. The Fire Boat Sentinel was dispatched, and two residents from Cape San Juan went in private boats to try to See BLAZE, Page 4

Smoke rises from Goose Island Monday as the fire continues to burn. The fire began Friday and firefighters hoped it would burn itself out.

The state Legislature appears to have reached an agreement on the two-year operating budget according to Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island. The race to the budget finish line has taken two special sessions and the beginning of a third. Gov. Jay Inslee had to sign the bill by midnight Tuesday for the government to have the money to continue operating. The signing is past the press deadline. Check online, www.sanjuanjournal.com, for an update. Senate members announced a tentative agreement was reached Saturday, the 163rd day of the session. The budget must first pass out of the Senate. Ranker said by phone he expects it to pass Monday night. If the bill clears the Senate it moves to the

A priest with the spirit to explore and serve By Anna V. Smith Journal reporter

T

he Rev. Edward Douglas Leche III has always had a roaming spirit. It’s what led him to explore the Seattle neighborhoods of his boyhood, what enticed him to sign up for World War II aboard the U.S.S. Saratoga at age 17, and ultimately what led him around the state of Washington to eight different parishes before fulfilling a mission to the San Juan Islands, where he finally settled to stay. June 29 marked Leche’s 60th anniversary of his ordination as an Episcopal priest, originally ordained June 29, 1955. Family members, churchgoers, amateur radio operators and friends gathered Sunday, June 28, to reminisce with Leche, now 89. Father Ted, as most know him, came to the San Juan Islands in 1967 by mission to the three Episcopal churches on San Juan, Orcas and Lopez Islands. The church issued him a boat named the Archangel so that he could minister to the islands with-

out ferry service or established churches: Stuart, Waldron and Shaw. “I liked anything that didn’t tie me down,” Father Ted said about his mission service in the San Juans. “Parish work never appealed to me; you got set down in one place and you didn’t get to go anywhere.” The people on the Islands also appealed to him, there seemed to be someone from every walk of life here. “He really did minister to a

wide range of people,” said his son, Edward Leche IV. “Industrialists, producers, environmentalists, the wealthy and those who were searching for themselves — such an eclectic web of people all here for different reasons.” He was paid in chicken eggs in Darrington, held communion on a lake in a boat at Camp Huston, and mediated local spats around the Islands. His family often accompanied him on the Archangel, Edward and daughter Mary DeLong remember

going with him to services, taking friends with them and meeting all of the intriguing characters that he met through his ministry. His wife, Mary Jane Leche, was a fixture in the community as well and helped him throughout the years. “Mom never did know who was coming home for dinner,” Mary said. Father Ted has also seen the changes in the San Juan Islands over time. One by one the churches dropped off his mission as their populations increased, and they became self-supporting churches with their own pastors. Orcas was the first to become their own parish, then Lopez, then he focused on St. David’s until retiring in 1988. “The goal of a mission is for it to become self-sufficient and to become an independent congregation,” said the Rev. Doug Simonsen, Rector at St. David’s. “He succeeded in that, so the need of a San Juan Island mission evaporated. That’s his legacy here.” Another change to the Islands came by way of fishing. As the

means of the business changed, there were fewer fishermen in the harbor. As visitors grew, there were more yachts and pleasure boats. See EXPLORE, Page 7

Stand Up and Start Talking

“

ea sure, we agree that no one deserves to be abused. But there really isn’t anything we can do personally to prevent it is there?” A group of concerned men asked me the other day on the inter island ferry. “Well, I am glad you asked!” I replied as we settled into a conversation about social norms, challenging accepted community misconceptions and changing our actions to match our principles. The conversation moved from the needs of abuse victims to the services DVSAS (Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services of the San Juan Islands) offers the survivors. Then on to the education and prevention work that is such an important aspect of what DVSAS and our volunteers do. This led to the newly forming “Stand Up Men Action Groups” on our islands. We discussed how these groups are made up of men from all ages, professions, and life experiences. And how this platform is providing a safe place to gain the knowledge and tools necessary to reach out and educate friends, family and community. As the ferry pulled into the dock and we walked to the car deck one of the younger men said, “You know, I feel so much more empowered to actually do something about abuse. And all it took was to have this conversation. Maybe that is where we can all start the change; just start the conversation.” I love it! It can be that simple! Let’s encourage each other to “Stand Up, Get Educated and Start Talking!” All men are welcome to join the “Stand Up Men Action Groups” forming on each island.

Man who attacked a woman on Orcas at large Submitted by Sheriff Ron Krebs

On Friday, June 26 at about 10:30 p.m., an 18-year-old female was walking alone past the Orcas Medical Center on Mt. Baker Road when an unknown male attacked her and attempted to take her purse. After a struggle she was able to knee him in the ribs and run away. The attacker is still at large. He is described as being a white male in his late 30s to 40, 6 feet 3 inches, skinny with short dark hair and several days growth of beard. He had very short fingernails and a cut/ scar on the top of his right hand. His teeth looked complete and normal, and he had dirt on his face. He was wearing a black hoodie with the hood up. The sweatshirt had a front pocket and a word that started with a large “W.” He was wearing dark colored pants that were possibly a rip-stop type material. If anyone has any information or sees this individual, call 911 immediately.

Meet the Sentinel, the little engine that can The Sentinel is a public safety boat that is jointly owned by the Fire/ Law Enforcement/EMS Departments and has been in the news often lately, escorting the new Samish ferry and assisting with grass fires. She is 38-feet long and capable of carrying 8,000 pounds of gear and people. She can pump 1,500 gallons of water a minute and be used as a water supply for fighting wildland fires (as on Goose Island) and shore front fires. She is designed for beaching. Her drop bow makes it

easier to load equipment and EMS patients. The Sentinel has twin 330 HP engines and is capable of doing 30 knots. On Sundays you are apt to get a glimpse of the Sentinel as she plys the waters and beaches of our islands searching of ideal landing spots. In case an emergency arises on one of the main islands or on a smaller island in San Juan County, the Sentinel must be able to get there in the quickest, most efficient way possible.

Be very aware when buying fireworks as M80’s or homemade devices. While the Fourth of July happens only once a year, these devices can cause a life altering injury that can last you a lifetime.”

To ensure that you purchase legal consumer fireworks that are both safe and high quality, visit one of the many fireworks stands operating during the Fourth of July fireworks sales period. By law, fireworks

stands may only sell approved and legal fireworks. “Don’t take any chances,” said State Fire Marshal Charles M. Duffy, “Stay away from high-powered illegal explosive devices such

Top 10 signs that your fireworks may be illegal: 1. They were not purchased from a Washington State licensed fireworks stand; 2. They were purchased through an online vendor, mail order, or a listing on Craigslist ; 3. The person selling you the fireworks tells you they bought it in another state; 4. They are not packaged in brightly colored paper; 5. They do not have any safety warnings or instructions on the packaging; 6. The packaging does not indicate the country of manufacture; 7. It resembles a roll of coins with a fuse coming out the side; 8. It is wrapped with plain brown paper; 9. It is solid red, silver or brown in color and 10. It looks homemade – wrapped in electrical tape or fuse isn’t taped down. If you know where these illegal explosives devices are being sold,

Dry weather persists, burn permits suspended as fire risk on “high” All residential and commercial burn permits have been suspended because of the unusually dry weather. There have already been a number of grass and brush fires throughout San Juan County. Recreational fires, 2-feet in diameter or less, are still allowed as long as they’re contained within a suitable fire ring. However, the State Parks System has banned recreational fires at their campsites statewide. San Juan County’s fire risk has been raised from moderate to high. With the changing of the seasons, Washington’s Department of Natural Resources has announced a state-wide outdoor burning restriction effective yesterday. It is expected that the burning restrictions will remain in place at least until Oct. 1. Each year, San Juan County follows the same schedule as DNR, recognizing that even with our mild climate and beautiful green landscapes, the risk of a damaging or life-threatening fire rises with the great summer weather that we all enjoy. As things dry out, please remember to be very cautious with any open flames. Always make sure that a recreational fire is com-

pletely extinguished before leaving it unattended. As Smokey Bear says: “If it’s too hot to touch, it’s too hot to leave”. With the Fourth of July approaching, remember personal fireworks are prohibited anywhere in San Juan County, and most fireworks available at the Swinomish reservation are illegal anywhere other than on tribal lands. With the unusually

dry conditions, San Juan County Sheriff Ron Krebs has announced that his deputies will be using a zero tolerance policy when it comes to fireworks. Everyone is encouraged to forego using their own

manufactured, or possessed; report it to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives or the local police department on a non-emergency phone number. Only call 911 to report emergencies. Always remember to use the three B’s of fireworks safety: • Be prepared—have water nearby and put pets indoors; • Be safe—only adults should light fireworks and • Be responsible—clean up fireworks debris. It is illegal to buy, sell or possess fireworks anywhere in San Juan County without a permit. First time violators may receive a $250 fine. .

to go beyond surviving, and there are times when I really am thriving.” The woman spoke at Shared Hope International’s event on domestic minor sex trafficking June, to raise awareness of the issue. According to Detective Stephen Parker, there are no active cases in the San Juan Islands currently. “The hope is that we’re giving people the preventative tools, so that it doesn’t happen here,” said Jo Lembo, Puget Sound regional growth strategist. Lembo and her husband, Nick Lembo are on the board of directors and were previously pastors who now

work full time with Shared Hope. The event featured a 20 minute documentary by Shared Hope, Chosen, and a panel to take questions afterward from the audience. The film detailed two girls’ experiences in being drawn into sex trafficking, and how they were able to escape. One, an 18-yearold girl named Brianna, was chosen by a man who frequented the restaurant she worked in. Brianna was intercepted by Shared Hope before she was taken away to another state by her traffickers. The other, a 13-yearold girl named Lacy, was controlled by a gang for a

number of years before she was able to get help. Shared Hope offered a few ways that people can try to identify a victim of sex trafficking. Changes in behavior, such as absences from school or isolation, changes in lifestyle such as unexplainable money sources, expensive gifts and changes in peers such as different friend groups or much older boyfriends. The Orcas Island woman spoke about looking for signs as well, noting that there were multiple people in her life during that time who knew something was wrong, since she often missed school, was moved

around often and was very reserved. Still, she said, nothing was done when she reached out for help from adults at age 6 and 10, until her self-rescue as an adult. According to Reuters, the U.S. Justice Department arrested 1,140 people in June on charges for sexually preying on children, often over the Internet. Parker commented at the panel that social media was a major way in which sex traffickers are able to target people and build a relationship with them, as well as a place to get information about them.

increased by 1.4 billion along with an increase in teacher salaries. Also in the budget is a 5 percent cut in college tuition. Ranker said $450 million in revenue has been added by closing tax loopholes. The senator said he has been working on the negotiation with the budget since January and has been home three times in the last two months. “What happened is in

the end thoughtful people were able to come together,” Ranker said. Ranker said it is the hardest and most complex budget he has worked on in his years in the Senate. School funding became the Sword of Damocles hanging over the 2015 Legislature. The state Supreme Court found the state of Washington in contempt for not complying with the Court’s Jan. 5, 2012 McCleary

v. Washington order, which directed the Legislature to fulfill its funding obligation as stated in Article IX of the state Constitution. The Constitutional clause reads: “It is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders, without distinction or preference on account of race, color, caste, or sex.” The balancing act for the

House, Senate and governor was to find the money to pay for schools, roads, human services and a myriad of other services. In the January contempt finding, Chief Justice Barbara A. Madsen wrote the state “failed” to submit a funding plan by April 30. Madsen wrote, “Sanctions and other remedial measures are held in abeyance,” to allow the Legislature to comply by the end of the 2015 session.

decided to let the fire burn itself out. Monday the fire continued to burn. Marler estimates that

the fire burned less than a quarter of the island, which is a federally protected wildlife refuge managed by the Nature Conservancy. Visitors are not permitted to the island, except for researchers from the University of Washington Friday Harbor laboratories. There are no leads on

who caused the fire, aside from some long-distance photographs and witnesses, who say they were in a white trophy-style boat heading north. “Fire works aren’t allowed here, and it’s really dry already,” Marler said. “We’ve had a lot of fires already, and a lot of people come here for the fourth not realizing it’s against the rules to have them in our county.” It is illegal to possess, sell, offer to sell, use, transfer, discharge or explode fireworks anywhere in San Juan County without a permit, according to County Code 9.20.

Progress at Museum of Body on Whidbey History and Industry beach identified By Jessie Stensland

By Anna V. Smith Journal reporter

Driftwood from Jackson Beach, an old limestone quarry cart from Roche Harbor, and a replica of the 1800s era kiln furnaces using authentic bricks and metal — these are just a few of the accents going into the Museum of History and Industry at San Juan Historical Museum. The Museum focuses on four main industries that helped shape the San Juan Islands; lime, logging, farming and fishing. Each gets its own wing in a mid-19th century replica barn of 2,700 square feet, with intricate local touches to help tell the story of the people who supported those industries. Just one example is of the metal salmon that hang from the ceiling in the fishing wing, designed by a local high schooler and then crafted by a local artisan. According to Museum Director Kevin Loftus, the museum decided to for go debts and loans, and instead only take on what was allowed through donations and grants. Currently the lime and logging wings are the closest to completion since they received specific donations, while the farming wing has not yet started, and the fishing wing is in the early stages of work. Loftus estimates just a few weeks until the lime and logging wings are deemed ready, though he says the exhibits will be an evolving project. “We’re never going to be completely done,” Loftus said. “We’ll always be shift-

ing and adding. It also depends on how fast the money comes.” The museum gives a chance to look into the industries that are largely of the past now, as lime production, and large scale fishing and logging have ceased to exist on the island. Each exhibit will be designed to get visitors involved. One ambitious part of the fishing section will let people interact with a screen, to catch and pull in fish with a net. In the main entrance with the topographic map of San Juan Island, little pinpoints light up when pressing a button next to a historic site name. According to Loftus, the limited floor space will be made up for by using the walls for videos and oral story telling, in addition to

photos and memorabilia. A “Tools of the Trade” section will show off the types of equipment the farmers and loggers used, all authentic and gathered from the island. “At this point, we’re really looking for more photos and artifacts, personal recollections, though we won’t take everything thrown our way,” Loftus said. “We really want to stress that we’re building this to be a community asset.” The Museum will be host to the Fourth of July Pig War Picnic, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, this Saturday. Loftus and other museum staff will be at the museum to answer any questions, and the exhibits will be open to view the progress.

Whidbey News-Times Co-editor

The Island County coroner identified the body discovered in the waters off of a North Whidbey beach Wednesday as an Orcas Island man. David Fleischmann, 66, worked at the Madrona Bar and Grill restaurant on Orcas Island, according to the coroner. Island County Coroner Robert Bishop said it’s unknown at this point how the man died or how he got into the water. An autopsy is scheduled for Saturday. Bishop said he doesn’t see any obvious signs of trauma. Police found Fleischmann’s car at the Orcas Island ferry dock, but that didn’t solve the mystery. Fleischmann was last seen at noon on Wednesday at the restaurant, where he usually stopped by at lunchtime to get a Coke, Bishop said. A resident on Whidbey Island called 911 after finding his body in the surf off Moran Beach on Wednesday at 3:37 p.m. Bishop said he’s had cases before in which people jump off of ferries, but he’s not sure at this point if that’s what might have happened in this case or if it’s even possible for the body to have drifted that far in just a few hours. He plans on asking for the surveillance footage at the ferry dock. Undersheriff Kelly Mauck said a citizen on the beach, which is near Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, saw the body floating in the surf Wednesday afternoon. The citizen pulled the body to shore, covered it and called 911. Fleischmann lived alone and his only family is out of state.

Kiwanis Pig War Picnic

The Kiwanis Club of Friday Harbor is pleased to host this year’s Fourth of July Pig War Picnic at the Historical Museum Park. This well-loved community event is free to the public and takes place immediately after the parade, which starts at 10:30 a.m. If you’re not familiar with where the Historical Museum Park is located just listen for the Bag Pipes as the Keith Highlanders Pipe Band will call you to the Park. Bring your family and friends and join us for some good old fashioned, clean, family fun. We are honored to have back Mike Vouri, in all his regalia, presenting the legendary pig war story. The featured music group this year is San Juan’s own Chameleon. They will be joined by their kids who play under the name of Komodos. If you missed them last year at the County Fair this is your chance to see some go ol’ rock and roll.

Island Recreation will host the kid’s games again this year. Last year we set a record with over 300 kids participating in various events. Some of the favorites are the three legged race, the egg toss and the money search in loose straw with over $100 in change waiting to be found. This year we will offer three meal options: The full meal deal includes pulled pork sandwich, chips, pickle and cole slaw; as a second option you can replace the pulled pork with a kosher dog, either adult meal for just $10. We will offer a kids plate for $5. Last month Kiwanis awarded $10,000 in scholarships to 11 Friday Harbor seniors. That was made possible by your generous support of our picnic. Our major sponsors this year are Islanders Bank, Browne’s Home Center and King’s Market as well as many additional community sponsors who have underwritten the event. Every dollar we make goes back into the community to make San Juan such a great place to live and raise a family. US News reports that San Juan is one of the top 10 places to be this Fourth of

Childcare during summer

Along with sunny weather and lots of free time, summer can also bring challenges for young families in Friday Harbor. School is out, childcare options can be limited and many parents are working long hours. United Way of San Juan County recognizes the importance of providing safe, structured activities for children in our community and offering support for working parents who may be stretched thin during the summer months. United Way’s support of our Family Resource Center’s Youth Mentoring Program enables school-aged kids mostly from single-parent families – to be paired oneon-one with an adult mentor. Together, Mentor and Mentee meet weekly to try out enjoyable local activities like swimming, canoeing and hiking. Likewise, United Way funding enables our center to offer free parent-child playgroups four mornings a week. The playgroups provide valuable time for new parents to connect with one another while their young children build social skills through cooperative play and group activities. It’s a terrific way for families to stay connected even when schools are closed for the summer. We encourage community members to support United Way of San Juan County and the efforts they make to ensure that local families have access to active, healthy summer

Closing gaps in cell service

When I first began my work as Lopez Island Fire Chief July 1, 2008, I was challenged to improve communications for our first responders and thereby improve public safety for all. This has been a tall order given our rugged and remote landscape, federally mandated radio frequency realignments that resulted in two way radio communications going from bad to worse and the fact that, until OPALCO came forward, no one was willing to make the infrastructure investment necessary to serve our unique rural community. There are large communication gaps on Lopez – and throughout our island communities that prevent our first responders from getting a call, delay care for our sick and injured citizens, isolate our first responders (including OPALCO linemen) who routinely put themselves in dangerous situations to serve the com-

munity and limit our team’s ability to deliver services. A few short years ago a man suffered a cardiac event while biking on the island; his companions tried to use their cell phone to call for help but had no signal. There was a delay of over 5 minutes before they could contact the 911 center and by the time we arrived the victim had died. Two years ago there was an industrial accident and the worker died; fortunately his coworkers did have a cell signal, contacted 911, we were dispatched and our Medic and EMTs revived him, were able to contact the on call physician and the receiving hospital using the cellular phone. However had this accident been 200 yards further down the road, there was no cell signal. Now, thanks to OPALCO and Rock Island Communications the first big step to helping meet my mandate to deploy and implement a solution to close the communication gaps. With the expansion of OPALCO’s electric and fiber grid and Rock Island Communication’s wireless deployment, we are on our way to a higher level of public safety. There are some

Editorial

Woes water By Dennis Box

T

hat darn water. For thousands of years we mostly upright humans have prayed to it, started wars over it, killed people in it and with it, built fancy huts to be close to it and tried to figure out ways to get out of it or get it more of it. Whether the water is falling from the sky or spraying out of the ground, it is sure to be unpredictable, complex and nearly always perplexing. In my experience, I have found when I want water to fall from the above, the sky is as all blue and happy. When I need blue skies looking at me, black clouds suddenly fight each other to fill the spot directly over my head. I suspect someone up there has a twisted sense of humor. Plumbing is another tale of water woe for me. I can’t tell you how many $20 books I have bought telling me in simple steps how to stop the dopey waterfall from my pipes. Why do guys pictured in those books always looks so smiley and clean? Every plumbing job I do ends up as a mass of black, smelly foulness, and or course endless leaks. Sometimes the pipe waits for me to leave and go to bed before it starts gushing. There is something about this formless element that can be piles of fun for many or mountains of misery. Droughts are no joke. We may live in the land of rain, but the current drought that Journal Reporter Anna V. Smith wrote about in the last edition will likely be costly to farmers and shoppers in grocery stores. The agriculture industry in Eastern Washington and in many places on this side of the state are taking a hit, and some may not recover. Anna’s article correctly noted aquifers can become underground puddles after long dry spells. Those below the surface lakes are a fascinating subject and guarded by the Department of Ecology like the state jewels. There is a long history of droughts plaguing civilizations, and there is no crystal ball available to say when it the rain will return. Forecasting rain and other weather things is one tricky business. At least forecasters today don’t face boiling canola oil with rosemary seasoning if they get it wrong like in some earlier hair-ball administrations. For anyone looking for excellent and reliable writing about the weather go the Journal’s website, www.sanjuanjournal.com, and under the blogs tab you will find Cliff Mass’ blog. He is a University of Washington professor of atmospheric sciences. Anytime I really want to know weather magic for a story, I call Cliff. He currently has a good piece on El Niño and what the winter may look like for the Pacific Northwest and California, which is drowning in drought dust. Mass also links to a Amar Andalkar’s discussion of snowpack during an El Niño. Despite the dry spell we are in, once it rains for five consecutive days, most of us won’t be able to remember the last time we saw the sun or recall there was ever a drought. There is only one thing I truly like about warm weather. It makes my stupid lawn stop growing. I never water it or put anything on it to make it green or happy, and still it grows like psycho grass. Every morning I walk out and glare at it, daring it to grow. I come home at night and it looks like someone has poured Mr. Green Jeans on it. I am pretty sure that just about the time my lawn finally get thirsty enough to stop growing for a few days, the humorist in the sky will send in the clouds – don’t we love farce. That darn water.

While she was on leash, we allowed her to jump onto the dock first as we tied up. Like a laser, she nailed some left-over bait. Unfortunately, the bait was still on a treble, barbed hook with monofilament line attached. Another boater and

my husband tried to locate this hook in hopes that she hadn’t swallowed it. She had. We untied from our buoy and two hours later were in Dr. Sonja Webster-Hills clinic. X-rays revealed that this hook was in her mid-esophagus. By 9 p.m. Dr. Sonja had performed all that she could for Suki and arranged for specialized emergency surgery at Seattle Veterinary Specialists in Kirkland. By 5 p.m. Sunday, Suki was fine. The hook had not moved and the esophagoscopy was suc-

While we take full responsibility for Suki’s going for the bait, and our experience served as a very expensive lesson, we caution anyone who is in an environment where there may be fishing tackle or other harmful items to be watchful of their dogs. All dog owners know but sometimes need reminding, us included, that dogs are attracted to and will eat just about anything. I also ask those who are

fishing especially in public places to be very watchful of their tackle and pick up after themselves. If not our dog, someone could very easily have stepped on this hook receiving a very painful injury. Finally, I would like to acknowledge Dr. Sonja’s coming to Suki’s aid when we called. Her response, concern and professionalism are very much appreciated.

Whenever he was out on the water in the Archangel, Father Ted would tune in and help out distressed vessels in need. Father Ted returned to radio in his retirement as a ham radio operator here in the San Juans, he also spent time painting and sculpting. He lived with his wife Mary Jane in a log

cabin they built, until Mary Jane passed away in 2010. He moved to Poulsbo for a short time to be closer to his son and his family, before returning to live in the Village at the Harbor in Friday Harbor. “Since coming back, his spirit has come home,” said his son Edward to the gathering on Sunday. “I’m so thankful for you all who encourage his love and spirit.”

Community art exhibit calls for empathy with marine life Journal Reporter

Wander into the San Juan Islands Museum of Art atrium and you’ll hear the lively squeaks of orcas, the low moans of a drifting barge and the sloshing of a shoreline. High above in the atrium’s ceiling, cedar and willow branches curve and swirl like eddies, before sloping down to the floor to curl around the pillars and walls. Delicate ribbons in shades of greens and blues hang from the branches, swinging in the breeze like a fanciful kelp bed, weighed down with handwritten wishes, prayers and thoughts. “Liminal Currents: Exploration of an Empathetic Umwelt” is the first major community collaboration at IMA, as well as the first conceptual installation. “It’s very different for Friday Harbor,” said IMA advisor Diane Martindale. “We’ve never had an exhibit space like this before, and we’ve never had an installation like this before.” The installation was designed and directed by local artist Matthew Gray Palmer, with assistance from community members. According to Palmer, umwelt, a German word pronounced oomvelt, is defined as “the world as it is experienced by a particular

This is an You

organism.” One of the goals of the exhibit, said Martindale, is to allow people to try and experience the world through the lens of a marine organism. Palmer’s brother, Grammy nominated musician Chuck Palmer, composed the sound design for the exhibit with help from the Salish Sea Hydrophone Network and used voices from local resident orca pods J, K and L. “By engaging our capacity for imagining what another being experiences, our empathy, we might shift our perspective to include a fuller picture as we consider the ways in which we have, do and will connect,

communicate and share the world and it’s sustaining energy with all of the denizens of this jewel,” wrote Matthew Palmer in his artist’s statement. The exhibit comes with the opportunity for visitors to write on a small piece of paper, roll it up and tie it to a branch. Martindale has left a box outside the door so they can be dropped off after hours. Yoga mats are

provided for those who want to spend time in the exhibit. “Most everyone who come here come for a reason,” Martindale says. “Many for their love for the environment. This is just another way to treasure that and another way to look at it.” The exhibit is free and open to the public 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday to Sunday until Aug. 21.

Notes, prayers and poems hang from the branches in the exhibit. At the end of the exhibit they will burn the installment’s branches and parchment notes.

In tribute to the movie house, the theme of the 2015 Fourth of July parade is “Hooray for Hollywood.” Jerry Alhadeff has owned the Palace for 14 years, and will be the grand marshal for this year’s parade. Alhadeff credits contributions of others for helping the theater weather the ups and downs of the entertainment industry, like their transition from film reels to digital four years ago. Aaron King is another well-known face at the theater who has worked there for 23 years. He is currently the operations manager. Peter Kirk, a British-born steel mill owner and founder of the city of Kirkland, Wash., built the theater in 1915 and named it “Fribor,” a merging of Friday and Harbor. Fribor was a gift to his granddaughter, Vivian Middleton. Milt and Lee Bave purchased it in 1961 and renamed it The MADD Playhouse as an acronym for music, art,

dance and drama. The Baves featured live drama productions and concerts, and added an orchestra pit in addition to showing films. Islanders of a certain age might recall Lee Bave, the theater’s projectionist, who would put a hand in front of the projector to block out people kissing on screen or other scenes she deemed inappropriate for viewers. Featuring first-run films 365 days a year on either of two screens, Alhadeff credits the current-day version of the movie house to the magnetism and tenacity of one person in particular, the late Ray Kinnaman. “Without his vision it wouldn’t be what it is today and it never would have,” Alhadeff said. After several years in which the movie house went dark for lack of business, in 1974 Carol and Ray Kinnaman began managing the theater. They assigned tasks to their four children as part of the family business and a year later they bought it from Lee Bave. Under the Kinnamans, the movie house got a new name, the Royal Theater. At the urging of local banker Brian Brown six years

History Corner: Palace Theater 1915: Peter Kirk builds a combination movie house and performance stage in Friday Harbor. It’s given the name of “Fribor.” 1961: Milton and Emelia Bave purchase the movie house from Florence Benson, rename it The MADD Playhouse, promoting music, art, dance and drama, in addition to showing films. 1975: Ray and Carol Kinnaman buy the movie house from Lee Bave,

later, Alhadeff, a part-time island resident at the time, bought the building from Kinnaman. Profits have always proved hard to come by for the Friday Harbor movie house, and Alhadeff recalled Brown wanted to ensure the island’s sole movie house would have sturdy financial backing and stay afloat. Kinnaman and Alhadeff struck a deal in which Kinnaman would operate the movie business as a tenant of the building. The two oversaw the remodel that is the movie house today. Following Kinnaman’s death in 2001, Alhadeff took over the enterprise and renamed it the Palace Theater. He handed over management to King, who joined Kinnaman and the movie house crew after moving to the island in 1992. Owning and operating the Palace Theater has proven to be more labor of love rather than a strategic investment for Alhadeff. “There’s a pride to being part of the town,” Alhadeff said. “I think Aaron feels that way too. In my opinion the theater is an asset to the town, a good asset.”

rename it the Royal Theater. 1982: Movie house undergoes extensive remodeling (second screen added) following purchase of building by Jerry Alhadeff. Kinnaman continues to manage the movie end of the business. 1992: Future theater manager Aaron King joins the Royal Theater team. 2001: Alhadeff renames the movie house the Palace Theater following Kinnaman’s death.

Instructions Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9×13-inch baking pan and line the bottom with a rectangle of parchment paper, then butter the parchment. Now is a good time to take out the cream cheese and butter for the frosting so it can come to room temperature while you work. 1. Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs one by one . Add vanilla extract. 2. Measure out the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and table salt into a medium-sized bowl, then put half into a sifter. Sift the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Slowly add buttermilk, then sift in the other half dry ingredients and mix until combined. 3. Pour batter in prepared pan. Bake until golden and a wooden pick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, about 40-50 minutes. Mine got rather domed on top, which I was fine with, but if you want it to really look like a flag, you can shave off the top with a serrated knife once it comes out and has cooled. In addition, if you don’t have a perfectly rectangular pan with sharp corners (as I didn’t), you can cut off the four edges to give it a more uniform, rectangular feel.

Frosting

Beat cream cheese and butter together until fluffy; I did it by hand since I don’t have a mixer and I start with smooshing the cream cheese with a spatula to get it smooth, then add the softened butter. This way the cream cheese doesn’t get lumpy. Add the vanilla, mix, then add the first cup of powdered sugar, and beat it until combined. I recommend using a sifter when putting in the powdered sugar, so that clumps don’t get in. I only used one cup of powdered sugar, though most people would use two cups. If you like really sweet frosting, use three cups! That will also make the frosting more stiff and white, which you may prefer with your decorating. Taste along the way as you add it, so you know how sweet you’re making it (also a great excuse to eat frosting).

Assemble the cake

1. After letting the cake cool completely, dollop on your cream cheese frosting. Smooth to the edges of the cake evenly. 2. For the stars section of the flag, space your blueberries apart enough that another could fit between them. I did five down and eight across, roughly, but that depends on the size of your blueberries. After setting down your spaced out rows, sift powdered sugar over all of them. Then, fill in the rest of the space with blueberries that will remain blue. 3. For the stripes, you can do raspberries and use the same tactic as the blueberries (that’s how the original recipe went) by spacing the stripes out, dusting them with powdered sugar, and then filling in the rest with plain raspberries. I love strawberries and already had a plethora so I decided to layer strawberries for the stripes and let the frosting stand in as the white stripes. Either way works! Be creative.

Anna V. Smith, San Juan Journal’s reporter, is a selftaught baker with a love for simple ingredients and basic recipes that stand the test of time. Her favorite recipes incorporate fresh, seasonal ingredients, and she has a serious problem with letting things cool completely before frosting them or eating them.

Trained library volunteers, called tech-xperts, will be on hand on Tuesday mornings from 10 to 11:30 a.m. to help the public. Tech-xpert volunteers have trained to answer general questions and are adept at finding solutions to technology obstacles. “If you need help with technology, visit the Library on a Tuesday morning. Bring your portable device (laptop, tablet or smartphone), and note that a very common problem is forgotten passwords,” outreach coordinator Beth Helstien added. Library laptop computers are also available to borrow for help with common applications.

See the unveiling of PIG

Guests are invited to come for an awesome, locally sourced dinner, root around at the Friday Art Market and celebrate the arrival of PIG - a new long-term resident of Friday Harbor, San Juan Island. The event is free and set for 5-7 p.m. July 3. Anyone interested in eating the cost is $15. Local sculptor Matthew Gray Palmer donated a public sculpture created especially for our much loved community facility and home to the Farmers Market, Brickworks. We are anticipating that the perky PIG will become an iconic image for the island, linking agriculture and history, with its references to local food and the famous Pig War. On being asked to create a Pig by the San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild, Matthew said, “I like the metaphor of sustainability, which is what the Ag Guild and our local organic farms are all about.” The mission of the San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild is to foster a vibrant, resilient and sustainable local agriculture and food system.
