Rep. Rick Larsen visited San Juan Island and Lopez Island last week to hold round table discussions and visit local sites. On Tuesday, Aug. 25 Larsen met with members of the advisory committee for the National Monument to see Lopez’s progress in coming up with a development and management plan. “The community at large has done a great job on preparing for a potential monument as well as insisting that there be a management advisory committee that is community based,” Larsen said. “It helps that the monument manager is out here, from the Bureau of Land Management, and so it’s not being managed in D.C., it’s being managed locally, and the management plan is being developed locally.”
Transportation
On Wednesday, Aug. 26 on San Juan he spoke with transportation stakeholders about county infrastructure, holding a roundtable discussion with members of county council, the school district, the town administrator, Port of Friday Harbor, and more. Larsen talked about the importance of federal government funds to assist the county with infrastructure, mentioning that San Juan County is “just about as far north and west in the lower 48 as you can get from Washington D.C.” Larsen mentioned the possibility of upgrading the Anacortes ferry terminal now that the Mukilteo ferry terminal project has begun. Members at the roundtable commented that they were appreciative of Larsen’s work for transportation, which include the Cattle Point Road realignment project, 14 years in the making. The project is realigning 1.27 miles of county road that was threatened by coastal erosion and moving the road up 300 feet to a glacial bench.

“I think it’s an example of one: sometimes it does take a long time to get things done in the federal government. Second, it’s really emblematic that San Juan County itself doesn’t have a lot of resources to do a major transportation investment like that, so having the federal government step in through the federal lands access program really helps with funding,” said Larsen. “Third, and this is sort of tooting the horn of the office, there’s just a lot of ‘stick-to-it-ness’ in the office when it comes to getting things done, so 14 years on we can have this road done.” In Congress, Larson has been pushing to renew the Highway Fund, which supplies funding for roads and highways and includes the ferry system. “It’s the important way the federal government, through the graces of the tax payer, helps fund transportation improvements around the county,” Larsen said. “If we let the fund go bankrupt, what that means for Washington State, would be a precipitous drop in transportation funding. It’s great that the state passed the gas tax increase to help fund projects, but the State Department of Transportation’s budget is 27 percent federal money.” According to Larsen, in 2014 Washington state received $600 million of federal money for roads, bridges, highways and ferries, and received $400 million in transit improvements. “So we’re talking about a situation where if the Highway Trust Fund is not reauthorized, those dollars go away,” Larsen said. “And we’ll have a huge hole blown up in the middle of the state’s transportation budget despite the state’s gas tax.” The conversation at the transportation round table touched on the recent outage that happened See LARSEN, Page 4
A public informational meetings on potential greenhouse regulations in the county were held on San Juan, Orcas and Lopez last week. At the Aug. 26 event at Brickworks in Friday Harbor, concerned farmers, San Juan County Councilman Rick Hughes and members of the Agricultural Resources Committee discussed the future of greenhouses on the islands. After deciding to not pursue a moratorium on greenhouses in January 2015, the San Juan County Council directed Department of Community Development staff to develop a draft of greenhouse regulations in March. There are currently no permit requirements for greenhouses under local regulations, which some islanders and council members said were insufficient to safeguard against the potential issues that might come with marijuana production in the county. The marijuana legislation Initiative 502 was voter-approved by 68 percent in the county. Neighbors of San Juan Sun Grown, a legal, marijuana cultivation operation, complained about operations there in 2014. The neighbors sought to block use of a shared, private road leading to Sweet Water Farms as part of a lawsuit against the farm, owned by Jenny Rice, on which her brother David owned and operated San Juan Sun Grown. The business stopped active operations in December 2014. According to the July 21, 2015 staff report provided at the meeting, “Concerns were initially raised about the potential impacts of large greenhouses associated with marijuana production.” It went on to say that during the public comment period, comments “ranged from advocating for no regulations to only those necessary to address impacts on prime agricultural soil, to considering environmental impacts of any size of greenhouse.” A workgroup was created in March to work alongside DCD
members from the San Juan County Agricultural Resource Committee, Health and Human Services and local farmers. Candace Jagel, a member of the workgroup and of the Agricultural Resource Committee, commented that she found language seemed to “creep in” to the regulations that hadn’t been discussed, and that iterations of the regulations did not always include what had been discussed. She was unclear where the language was coming from. Members of the 30-plus audience voiced their frustration over the process, debating whether or not the regulations were necessary in the first place. One audience member summed it up as a “solution looking for a problem,” since no widespread problems with greenhouses had been quantified. Adding to the atmosphere of discontent was the outdated draft regulations that were provided for the meeting, meaning that members of the public were not looking at the latest rendition. The ARC will next meet in midSeptember to continue working on the regulations.

Alleged assault and car pursuit By Anna V. Smith Journal reporter
A report of domestic incident on Kanaka Bay Road led to a pursuit on car and foot through Friday Harbor that ended behind the Spring Street baseball fields Aug. 24. According to court documents, at approximately 7 p.m., San Juan County dispatch advised the responding officers that a man later identified as Ryan Alan Yocum had allegedly assaulted his girlfriend of more than two years.

with
Yocum, 40, of Seattle has been charged with assault in the second degree, domestic violence and driving under the influence. Bail is set at $250,000. When interviewed by the police, the victim said on Aug. 24 Yocum began drinking and became physically abusive. She told officers that he began hitting and punching her and made her remove her clothes and started “degrading and taunting her.” She stated that at 5 p.m. she ran from the cabin that the two were staying at on Kanaka Bay Road, which was owned by a family member, to make a phone call. According to documents she was able to get a
ride into town. She said that Yocum had taken her cell phone and disconnected the landline phone at the cabin. After the call, the woman contacted a cab to return to the cabin and collect her things with the help of the driver. When interviewed, the cab driver told the officer he was “scared for her safety and wanted to make sure she would be alright.” The driver recalled that Yocum told the woman, “You’re dead.” According to court documents, after retrieving her things, the woman left in the cab. The cab driver attempted to hide his vehicle while calling dispatch, and said that while they were parked, Yocum’s car came up the

driveway and stopped near the cab. Yocum then went to his trunk, and fearing that he was retrieving a weapon, the cab driver said he drove until finding a Sheriff patrol car. While officers spoke with the victim and the cab driver, Yocum’s car came around the corner “at a very high rate of speed.” Two officers pursued Yocum in his black Toyota sedan, apprehending him after he abandoned his vehicle and continued on foot behind the Spring Street baseball fields, headed toward Marguerite Street. The officer’s report said that the woman had visible marks on her face and throat. The woman said that Yocum had choked her with a belt and assaulted her. The woman told officers that Yocum was keeping her at the cabin, and that she was only able to leave once he had passed out. Yocum has an outstanding federal warrant and will be transferred to the Federal Department of Corrections unit upon completion of his criminal proceedings in San Juan County. Yocum’s court date is set for Sept. 4.

Veterans
Continued from page 1 Wednesday Aug. 26, when a truck in Anacortes clipped low hanging cables and caused a phone and internet outage throughout the county, and some members commented that a discussion needed to happen to find a way to keep it from happening again, though no plan of action was set forward. Others present at the meeting brought up awareness of how rising sea levels may affect low-lying roads, and the importance of paying attention to smaller road projects in town, not just larger, long-term projects.
Larsen also held a roundtable with veterans at American Legion Post 163 to discuss ways to let them gain better access to services for education, insurance, healthcare, employment, and more. It was the last stop on five meetings he held with veterans throughout his district in Washington. “The real value of these roundtables is to hear directly from veterans, both in terms of individual cases they may need help on as well as their input on how well or how not well in their estimation the Veterans Affairs is working for them,” Larsen said. “The VA here

“These are not new frustrations,” said Larsen, who urged vets to talk to Beckham in detail after the meeting. Another issue raised was that the program does not cover local prescriptions so vets have to pay up front and apply for financial assistance later. “It’s a huge access,” said councilman and Ray’s Pharmacy owner Rick Hughes. “We’d prefer they have local access.” Another veteran at the meeting said his health care has improved since the new

Larsen met with Westcott Bay Shellfish Company owners Andrea and Erik Anderson. After a tour of the grounds, Superintendent of San Juan Island National Historical Park Lee Taylor and Chief of Resources Manager Jerald Weaver gave Larsen a tour of the recently acquired 34 acres of the park. The addition was bought by the National Park Service using funds left over from the purchase of Mitchell Hill, a 312-acre trail system that recently added trail signs this summer. The 34-acre waterfront features a long sand spit. “We have a very active and engaged community here, and we ended up with a much better product for it, I have to say,” Taylor said of the public input to both purchases. During his visit, sea gulls, a harbor seal and pup rested on the spit, sun-
ning themselves. Larsen also visited Roche Harbor Resort to talk about immigration visa issues, went out on the water with a new Fish and Wildlife boat funded by a grant from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and mentioned that affordable housing is still an issue that has plagued the islands and said that federal dollars from Rural Development Funds from the Department of Agriculture is important. “It’s just almost impossible to find something that someone from middle class income could buy,” Larsen said. “Some of these folks work at a gas station or King’s Market and a lot of those places and doing a great job, but they’re not going to be able to make enough money to afford a lot of the housing stock on the island.” Larsen applauded the work of nonprofits and volunteers on the island working to make more affordable housing available.

According to court documents, Roberson confessed that he had entered Tia’s Tacos in the early morning hours of Aug. 16 through an unlocked door.

On Aug. 19, a deputy picked up Roberson, who had a previous warrant for his arrest. He was also found at that time to be in possession of methamphetamine.

Several island veterans at the meeting expressed concern over the VA choice program, which was created last year to help veterans receive better medical care. John Beckham, director of the health plan management service of the Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System also took notes at the discussion and met with veterans to talk about solutions. Problems with the Choice Program include vets not being able to pick their physician and time of appointment. Choice also does not cover emergencies and can require a week wait to be authorized for a medical appointment.

Master Garden workshop The San Juan County Master Gardeners have changed their popular biennial gardening workshop from spring to fall. The Inaugural 2015 Fall Gardening Workshop, The Healthful Garden, will be held in Friday Harbor on Saturday, Oct. 10, and will include many science-based gardening topics. A popular and dynamic speaker, Dr. Linda Chalker Scott will present “Horticultural Myths: Separating Fact from Fiction.” She is one of the many Seattle based scientists who teach in the San Juan County Master Gardener training. ChalkerScott is an associate professor in the department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture at Washington State University. She is also an Extension Specialist in Urban Horticulture, meaning she has a global classroom rather than one physically located on a college campus. She also maintains an affiliate associate professor status at the University of Washington. She has a doctorate in Horticulture from Oregon State University and is a certified arborist. She is trained as a woody plant physiologist and applies this knowledge to understanding how trees and shrubs function in urban environments. She says “this is a fancy way of saying that she enjoys diagnosing landscape failures – sort of a Horticultural CSI thing.” Chalker-Scott is co-chairman of the Garden
Team at WSU, an interdisciplinary group that produces science-based Extension publications for home gardeners. She is a member of a three person academic team who host the “Garden Professors“ blog and Facebook pages. The “Garden Professors” educate and entertain an international audience about gardening. She is also the author of four books: the horticultural myth-busting “The Informed Gardener” and “The Informed Gardener Blooms Again,” “Sustainable Landscapes and Gardens: good science – practical application, a comprehensive approach to the science behind urban horticulture and arboriculture” and the recently published “How Plants Work: The science behind the amazing things plants do.” She has published in the scientific literature as well as in popular magazines such as American Nurseryman, Organic Gardening, and Fine Gardening. Another issue to be covered in this year’s workshop is soil, a hot topic this year since 2015 is the International Year of Soil. Globally its health is an issue. In your garden, it

should be a priority. Dr. Craig Cogger is on the slate of experts presenting at the San Juan County Master Gardeners Fall Gardening Workshop in Friday Harbor, on Oct. 10. Dr. Cogger will share his recipe for healthy soil with us: how to build a soil rich in nutrients, microbes and earthworms. Dr. Cogger received a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Bowdoin College, and a Masters in Organic Chemistry as well as a Phd in Soil Science from Cornell University. He has been a soil scientist at WSU Puyallup since 1984, and has done research on organic farming systems since 2002. Dr Cogger has just retired from his position as the WSU Extension Soil Scientist and Research Soil Scientist. Currently Dr. Cogger teaches soils classes to Master Gardeners for WSU Extension, and makes presentations on soils, biosolids, nutrient management, soils amendments, water quality, climate change, and food safety to many agricultural, professional, volunteer and student groups. He is, not surprisingly, a life-long gardener. All garden enthusiasts are welcome at this workshop. Tickets ($35 advance purchase; $40 at the door), workshop and presenter descriptions now available at Brown Paper tickets.

eral hundred feet. Boasting incomparable views of Haro Strait to Vancouver Island, and south to the Olympics, this property is the perfect complement to the adjacent Westside Preserve. Its rocky outcrops and grassy slope will add a completely new dimension for people to explore on the Westside. Land Bank commissioner and chair, Jim Skoog, said “This really only happens once in a lifetime. We are deeply in the debt of the Reiss family. Their generosity to the community is truly exceptional.” While the property is not yet open to the public, the Land Bank hopes to establish trails and allow access sometime next spring. The land will also be managed to conserve its rare coastal prairie habitat. TANJA WILLIAMSON Friday Harbor
Response to Teasdale
In her letter published Aug. 26, 2015, Janelle Teasdale asserts that “Monica Harrington is running on a platform to force PeaceHealth into performing elective abortions.” This is absurd and false. My campaign platform is all about promoting transparency and effective oversight of our public tax dollars. As a Catholic ministry, PeaceHealth will never perform reproductive health services forbidden by the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care, just as it will never participate in helping a patient exercise his or her rights under Washington’s Death with Dignity Laws, nor will it follow Advance Directives that conflict with Catholic doctrine. The 50-year exclusive contract with PeaceHealth needs to be amended so that locally elected officials can decide, on an ongoing basis, how to fund essential health services in a way that makes

sense for this community, which voted overwhelmingly to support Washington’s Reproductive Privacy Act and Death with Dignity Act. The public hospital district, as a public entity, has a legal obligation to adhere to the Reproductive Privacy Act. Pregnancy-related medical services should be funded and supported through our public hospital district. Young women living on this island should be able to get essential prenatal services with the support of our local public tax dollars, just as they did when Inter Island Medical Center was operating. This doesn’t mean it makes sense for babies to be delivered regularly on island, any more than it means that a cardiac patient who gets his heart checked at a local medical facility should have openheart surgery on-island. Coordinated, integrated care is what we should all be striving for. Services for patients who want to exercise their rights under Washington’s Death with Dignity Law should also be supported through our public hospital district. As a community, we should be able to fund services that PeaceHealth refuses to provide, and we should hold PeaceHealth accountable for making sure that the services they do provide with our local tax dollars are delivered cost-effectively over the life of the contract.

middle and high school aged students the chance to earn a little money while they learn about their environment and help with the conservation efforts on the Island. Thank you to Sarah Hansen, Matthew Wickey and Ted Hanrahan for their guidance and organization of the program and crews. The program gives middle and high school kids the opportunity to gain skills, earn money, learn about their environment and gain leadership capabilities. These young people get a chance to work hard while appreciating how to take care of the natural environment and have some fun as well. The core balances work, education and appreciation of nature nicely. I think it is one of the best programs for middle and high schoolers on the Island. KIM ERICKSON San Juan Island

the beginning of the blessings, which is to say that it does not claim territory for the Kwagiulth. It shares their stories and honors the following creatures; Whale, Salmon, Raven, Eagle, Seal, Sea Lion and Hummingbird. These are the creatures that are laying claim to this particular part of the Salish Sea. This land belonged to them long before we arrived. There are currently six Salish groups that share heritage here in the San Juan Islands and have claims to similar territory. The Lummi, Swinomish, Saanich, Samish, Sooke and Songhee all spent time here and claimed territory in the San Juan Islands. They all had different names for this land, as evidenced by the Lummi name for this navigational point, which was Petpibwelhelh. According to current Lummi Chief, Tsi’li’xw (Bill James), this name would translate into our language to mean “Of this Land.” This name was given to the owners of the property it now stands on before the project began. It seems clear that their intention is to represent the creatures of this point. It is a call to honor the environment it watches over. LEE BROOKS Friday Harbor

As a founder of the Hardy Hikers, a 20 year old year round womens’ hiking group on Orcas Island, I am extremely pleased to support the purchase and development of Mt. Grant into a nature preserve. It will be a place where folks of all ages can go to enjoy the natural beauty and stunning views. It feels like you are on the top of the world when you are on the summit! And it is so accessible! Twenty years ago I chose to make my home on Orcas Island because of the many hiking options there. With the addition of Turtleback Mountain, there are even more. I am now very pleased to see future trail opportunities on San Juan Island and I look forward to spending more time experiencing hiking on this beautiful island. Hooray for Mt. Grant!

T
he Islands’ Sounder, Journal of the San Juans and the Islands’ Weekly welcome new circulation manager Bridget Wright. She will be based out of the Sounder office on Orcas Island. For questions about your subscription, call Wright at 376-4500. Wright, pictured at left, grew up in southern California. She moved to Orcas in 1991 to be near her parents and siblings. She has two children, Aaron, 21 and Darby, 13, both of whom have grown up on the island. She lives with her partner of 10 years, Don Yerly III. She has held a variety of jobs in customer service and hospitality. Her interests are reading and photography. She says she is enthused to become part of the Sound Publishing team. Wright is replacing Joanna Massey, at left, who is leaving her position to pursue an MBA at Seattle University in order to prepare for a career in Australia. Joanna moved to Orcas from Washington, D.C., in 2009. Having graduated from American University with a major in psychology, she worked as a clinical case manager at a mental healthy agency helping women with a history of physical and sexual abuse. In that job she began an interest in organizational development. She says she has thoroughly enjoyed her time working at the island’s local newspapers. Her parents, Meg and Joe, and dog Maddie reside on Orcas. We wish Massey the best in her new endeavor and look forward to having Wright become part of our local newspaper family.

Last year, at the end of my ACDI / VOCA volunteer assignment to Tajikistan I was asked if I would consider returning in 2015. I have recently agreed to return to Central Asia and the country of Tajikistan this next Nov. 1 - 28 to assist 12 different groups of farmers in the Khatlon Province near the city of QurghonTeppa in the southwestern part of Tajikistan. My host will be the Shirin Dehkan Farm owned by Ms. Azizmo Makhmadieva and her family in Buston Village, A. Jomi District, Khatlan Province. All of my expenses getting to and from Kyrgyzstan are paid for by VOCA/ACDI. My time in Tajikistan is volunteer time given by me. The host family in Buston village is a family group of six females and ten males that collectively manage a 3 hectare (7.4 acre) orchard of apples, pears, plums, cherry, apricots, peaches, persimmons and almonds.

Continued from page 6 ting on another great show of “Jazz at the Labs.” The dinner was excellent! My husband and I had such a great time. We hope the event brought you many dollars for the K-12 Science Outreach Program. The entertainment was incredible. First we heard the San Juan Jazz Quintet who played better than ever. Rich Barker, Jonathan Piff, Rob Simpson and Dennis Willows really played a shining performance. And, Oliver Strasser, who was substituting for Thor Hansen, was fantastic. If this wasn’t good enough, they were followed by the group, Jazz Coalescence. A great performance was put on by John Hansen, Chuck Kistler, Steve Korn, Jay Thomas, Travis Ranney and their leader, Chris Amemiya. Their music was absolutely riveting. A surprise for all of us was an amazing performance by Kelley Johnson. Kelley is an international award-winning jazz vocalist that gives you “butterflies” in your stomach when she sings. One can just sit there for hours and listen to her warm, sweet and dreamy sounds.
I will also be working with farmers in 12 other districts of the Khatlon Province throughout my three week stay. There are another 200 indirect beneficiaries in the group, men, women and children. The work I will be doing is to help the growers identify and start implementing improvements in their orchard management practices. There is little money for orchard technologies that we in the U.S. take for granted. I will be helping them improve their pruning methods, work on fertility and integrated pest management using mostly organic methods and providing them feed back on how they can take their limited resources and improve their quality of life through their farming and farms. Here are blog entries and photos posted last Jan. 16 and 23 upon my return: http://www.usaidftfvolunteer.blogspot.com/. The budget for this program does not include funds for simple pruning
For those people who were unable to make the jazz performance this year, it is a “must see” to put on your calendar next year. Thank you again Friday Harbor Labs and also to the many sponsors that helped make this happen. TONI BAILEY Friday Harbor
Pharmacy pricing concerns
Last week’s front page Journal article regarding pharmacy drug pricing was based on an experience I had on May 10, 2015 at our local drug store. Unfortunately the article left out many relevant facts. I went to pick up a prescription for 20 pills and was informed that my insurance company would only allow nine pills to be sold with a co-pay of $68. I expressed disbelief at the elevated cost when the pharmacist told me I could pay the pharmacy’s cash price of $20.00 and get the entire 20 pills. I was further amazed when the pharmacist added that if my insurance company had allowed me to purchase the 20 pills the co-pay would have been around $400. After 2 weeks of in- person, telephone and online investigation I discovered that drug prices were all

tools, sharpeners, educational materials, nor soil test kits which are in high demand. I am now in the process of collecting as many of these items and materials as possible to take with me when I leave in November. If you, (or anyone you know), would consider donating funds of any amount to be used to procure the above mentioned items we would appreciate it. The Tajik farmers I worked with in 2014 were very appreciative of the tools presented to them during the orchard field days we held. Last year I took over fifty pounds of tools including pruning loppers, hand pruners, soil test kits, folding saws, grafting
knives, tool sharpeners and eye loops. Those items were paid for with donations from the San Juan Islands community. If you wish to donate money to this project please send a check, made out and mail to: Mitchell Bay Farm & Nursery, Tajikistan Project, 1071 Mitchell Bay Rd. F.H., WA. 98250. We can also receive funds via PayPal at mbfarm@ rockisland.com. Reference the Tajikistan project with your gift contribution. If you have questions call me at 378-2309 or at: mbfarm@ rockisland.com. I will give several outreach presentations once I return so look forward to a visual presentation upon my return.
over the board depending on whether: a) one paid the pharmacy directly instead of using one’s co-pay, and b) where the drugs were bought. In this case the cash price for the prescription varied from $112.00 at Safeway, to $89.99 at Walgreens, to $3.20 at Costco. All these stores were in Anacortes or Burlington. I even called the State and talked to a “pharmacy investigator” who confirmed there was no oversight mechanism for the establishment of drug prices in Washington. They were sorry, but there was nothing they could do. None of this was mentioned in the Journal’s article. As far as customers not reaching their deductible limit by paying the pharmacies directly, experts indicate most deductibles are reached when a person is admitted to a hospital, not through the purchase of drugs. In fact prescription drugs only make up 10 percent of health care costs according to Aetna Insurance. So, make sure you always ask for a comparative cash price before running a prescription through ones copay, sometimes you may be pleasantly surprised, as I was. To their credit the
sign in the pharmacy alerting customers to ask for the cash price first was installed after I brought these issues to the attention of the President of Friday Harbor Drug’s parent company. MARC FORLENZA San Juan Island
Cheers for new homes
Last Thursday, Aug. 20, as I traveled to town along Pear Point Road, I was thrilled to see the three houses sponsored by San Juan Community Home Trust as they slowly proceeded up to their new neighborhood at Sun Rise II. They had come off the barge Wednesday night at the Lafarge property beach. What a sight that must have been! These lovely houses will be settled on new foundations and fitted out for new owners at an affordable price. And at re-sale, they will be affordable to the next owners. These houses will be permanently affordable for the people who work in this community but can’t afford the market prices of most homes here. We are very fortunate to have San Juan Community Home Trust at work for our community. PATTY GARCIA Friday Harbor

Doug James
Doug James passed away peacefully at home with his family who loved him so much on Aug. 27, 2015. He was born on Dec. 11, 1930 in Pasadena, Calif. Doug was known for his strong work ethic. His first enterprise was selling eggs from his very own chickens at 6 years old. In his 20s, he worked nights as a police officer and days running his own business Newport Floor Covering in Newport Beach, Calif. In 1978, Doug and his
wife Colleen moved to Lopez Island from Laguna Beach, Calif. He opened Doug James Floor Covering shortly thereafter and built a successful business that is still in existence today. True to form, he worked until shortly before his death. Doug James Floor Covering will continue to run under the management of longtime employee Jack Walker. Doug had a lifelong love for all animals, most notably chickens and deer. He fed dozens of deer on his property and raised chickens and pheasants. He enjoyed keeping a vegetable garden, working in his shop, making pottery and doing woodwork. Most of all, Doug loved his family. He was a devoted husband to his wife of 50 years, Colleen, and a beloved father and grandfather. There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for his loved ones. He will be missed every day. Doug was a kind, generous, thoughtful man with a great sense of humor. He was well-loved throughout the islands, and his family thanks his many friends for their support.
Doug was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife Colleen, daughter Michele and her husband Kim, granddaughter Colleen and her fiancé Matt, daughter Linda, sons Doug, Jr. and David and sister Diana. He also leaves behind his precious dog Bella. At the request of Doug, there will not be services. In lieu of flowers or cards, donations may be made to the Lopez Animal Protection Society, PO Box 474, Lopez Island, Wa. 98261 or the Orcas Animal Shelter, 84A Hope Lane, Eastsound, Wa. 98245.
Campfire ban lifted “I didn’t know you could have surgery here!” San Juan Island resident, Carol Maas didn’t want to have shoulder surgery, but she said, “even I could see that was the only thing that would fix it.” On top of facing surgery, Carol didn’t want to leave the island. PeaceHealth Medical Group orthopedic surgeon, Jeffrey Krusniak, DO, told her she wouldn’t have to. Carol had arthroscopic shoulder surgery – an outpatient procedure involving a small incision, scope and camera – at PeaceHealth Peace Island Medical Center. “I feel really fortunate to have had the option to stay close to home.” Read her whole story and learn more about how PeaceHealth Peace Island impacts the community at www.peacehealth.org/peace-island.

our harbor seal pups were released at Turn Point Beach this past Saturday by Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. The pups had been either orphaned or separated from their mother, and were brought to Wolf Hollow for treatment and rehabilitation. Shona Aitken, education coordinator at Wolf Hollow, was present, answering questions of curious bystanders and making sure they didn’t get too close to the animals. The pups Zircon, Sunstone, Mica and Cinnabar were brought in from Squalicum Harbor, Ferndale, Semiahmoo, and Doe Bay Resort, respectively, by Stranding Networks in the area. The pups were dehydrated, weak and had wounds or infections after being separated from their mother. The pups were started out with electrolytes to rehydrate them, and then introduced to a special high-fat formula to help them regain weight. Once teeth were fully formed, they were introduced to fish. After becoming stronger and

infection-free, they moved out into a small pool and then a deeper one. There, they learned how to chase fish and swim. At the release, the pups were brought out to the beach in large carriers, each carried by four pole-bearers, with sheets over the containers to reduce stress of transportation. Once all four carriers were in position pointing to the water, the doors were opened and the pups scooted off. One made a beeline for the water, two went to explore it together, and the fourth tried it out, came back to shore, then decided to take the final plunge. A group of people amassed at the beach to watch the little pups go on their way, and neighbors came out to watch as well. The pups bobbed around in their new environs within sight for quite some time, occasionally looking at the bystanders on shore.

Currently this work involves the use of a small unmanned hexacopter to non-invasively collect images from 100 feet above the whales to assess the health of individuals. John will also discuss his use of this technique to study blue whales, gray whales and humpback whales, but will focus mainly on his current research on Southern Resident killer whales around the San Juans and Northern resident killer whales in Johnstone Strait.

Guest column
Welcome to the new school year By Danna Diaz
School superintendent
As the new superintendent of the San Juan Island School District, I am excited about Thursday, Sept. 3. It is the first day of school! There is nothing like a fresh beginning - and the start of each school year gives us the opportunity to recommit to those things which brought us into this profession in the first place. Whether we are in the classroom or leading a bunch of classrooms, driving the bus, providing maintenance to our buildings, serving as a crossing guard, food service professional, budget manager, office personnel, or a paraprofessional in the classroom… and especially as a parent…we are teachers. Teachers who make a difference in the lives of stu-
dents. We are teachers who recommit to the joy of our profession. Kids are funny - they make us laugh (even when we shouldn’t). They are weird. They are afraid. They make noises. They come from every imaginable circumstance. Yet, they all seek out our love and respect and approval (one way or another). We are teachers. We smile. We laugh. We take breaks to tell stories and celebrate the mystery called learning. We are teachers who recommit to slowing down yet keeping an engaging pace, to checking in more often, and to going deeper with our best resources rather than working too hard to find more stuff. Students respond to the rhythm of our learning organization. They crave community and
friends and want to participate but only do so when they trust that it is safe. We celebrate the mistakes and learn from them. For isn’t that the very definition of learning after all! We are teachers who recommit to learning from our students and from each other. Every year we have new puzzles to solve: why is content just plain hard for students? How else could I teach this? How do I give students choices but hold them accountable for the same high standards? We are teachers. We are at our best when we share our best and learn from the best. We are exhausted when we try to go it on our own. This week marks the beginning of a new year. Let the fireworks go off. We are teachers. We make a difference!

Community events Chorus gears up for winter show
San Juan Singers, a San Juan Island-based community chorus, begins preparation for the winter 2015 concert on Sept. 9, 7-9 p.m., in the Community Room of Skagit Valley College. This chorus is open to all singers 12 and up with the director’s approval. This is not an entry-level chorus; participants should have some choral or musical theater singing experience and be able to follow music and musical direction. Members contribute a fee for participation; scholarships are available to students and partial schol-
arships are available to encourage families to participate together.
Night Music
San Juan Community Theatre closes its Night Music series this summer with performances by two island singer/songwriters on Thursday, Sept. 3 at 7:30 p.m. Jesse Berube calls himself a “crafter of sound, turning heartfelt easily identifiable experiences and lessons learned into powerful, well crafted, witty and sensual song.” A self-taught musician, he accompanies his vocals with his own handcrafted guitar and ukulele. Bryan Leighton spent his
formative years playing clubs and bars around the region. Influenced by fellow Northwest artists, Bryan’s playful and self-reflective lyrics dig deep into life, death and our human pursuits.
Sculpture benefit
San Juan Island artist Maria Michaelson will donate 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of her sculpture “Multiplicity” to the Campaign to Save Mount Grant. The artist will consider all offers of $1,500 or more and will sell the work to the person offering the highest purchase price by September 8, 2015. The sculpture, approxi-
mately 30 inches high, is high-fired ceramic and therefore suitable for placement in either an interior or exterior setting. Michaelson will place “Multiplicity” at the summit of Mt. Grant on Sept. 6 so that potential purchasers can view the work. To contact Maria Michaelson at 378-1661 or via email at mkmichaelson@gmail.com
Piano concert
Northwest pianist Kay Zavislak returns to Friday Harbor for a solo performance at San Juan Community Theatre on Saturday, Sept. 5 at 7:30 p.m. Zavislak enjoys a multifaceted career as a per-
Volunteer firefighter | Creesy After watching his next door neighbor’s house burn to the ground just days before their wedding, now Assistant Chief Brad Creesy wished that he had been able to help them. So along with the groom and several other neighbors, he joined Station 5, the Roche Harbor/ Yacht Haven fire station in the spring of 1983. “Back then you only needed to show up at the station with a sincere desire to help the community. You were issued bunker gear and started training with the crew twice a month. Individual firefighters didn’t have pagers or radios; you listened for the siren on top of the station to alert you to a call.” Change has continued over the years for both Brad and the Department. The engines that were new shortly after he joined have since been retired as obsolete and new engines are now in service. After 17 years as a volunteer, Brad joined the career staff as a Lieutenant and the department’s training officer, a position in which he has served since 2000. When asked about the most significant changes he has seen over the years he said, “when you join the department today you are making the same personal commitment to the community, but you are also making the commitment to serve the community as a professional. A fire or a person in distress doesn’t know the difference between a volunteer
or a professional firefighter. By training to a professional level you are providing the best possible service to the community and you are also making the highest commitment to your family, understanding the risk involved and working as safely as possible.” “Our department members complete the same training, testing, and nationally recognized certification as a career firefighter in an urban department.” As he will admit, “joining the department is not a casual commitment. The Firefighter 1 or recruit training is significant. But the rewards are just as important. Being part of the team that the community turns to in an emergency is both exhilarating and rewarding.” To get involved go to www.sjifire.org and click on “Joining the Department” or email training@sjifire.org or at 378-5334. A new recruit class starts on Sept. 9.

former, teacher, adjudicator, and clinician—currently living in Bellingham where she teaches at Western Washington. Spending her formative years in Japan, Zavislak attended the Toho Gakuen High School of Music, one of the most prestigious conservatories in Japan. Tickets are $18 for adults; $9 for student reserved, with $5 student RUSH at the door.
Mt. Grant hits halfway mark
The campaign to save Mt. Grant passed two notable mileposts in August. First, a $500,000 challenge was successfully met. Donors from more than 450 households have generously provided gifts and pledges totaling more than $500,000 since the start of the challenge on March 1. These gifts will be
matched dollar-for-dollar by challenge grant donors Eliot and Tina Scull. Secondly, the San Juan Preservation Trust has surpassed the halfway mark in its effort to raise $2.7 million in private, charitable contributions toward the $4.2 million total needed to acquire and care for the 141-acre Mount Grant property (formerly known as “Lawson Ridge”). An additional $1.1 million is needed before the Campaign is complete, so that the Preservation Trust and the Land Bank can pay off the note on the property, build and maintain trails and other visitor amenities, maintain the summit road, and care for the land in perpetuity. For more information about the campaign or visiting the preserve, visit www. sjpt.org/mountgrant or call 378-2461.

Education coordinator at Wolf Hollow Rehabilitation Center
Early one morning in late May, a man who was driving into Friday Harbor was sad to see a dead fox kit lying on the edge of the road. He was in a hurry to take his friend to the early ferry, but a few minutes later, on his way back, he stopped to move the animal off the road and was surprised to find that she wasn’t dead. The little fox kit was lying stretched out on her side, unable to move, but she was breathing and occasionally
opened her eyes before lapsing back into unconsciousness. He gently wrapped her in his jacket before calling Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, then following the instructions on our after-hours message to page the on-call staff member. When the fox arrived at the rehab center at 5:30 a.m., she was cold and in shock so we immediately warmed her and gave her medication and fluids before making her comfortable in a warm, cushioned carrier. We crossed our fingers that she would survive
the next few hours. By late morning her condition had improved enough for us to take x-rays. They showed an injury to her pelvis, which would explain why she couldn’t stand, but she probably also had a range of muscle and nerve damage from being hit by a car. She ate a little food during the night and over the course of the next few days made gradual progress until she was able to stand and walk a little, but was still shaky. When she had been with us for about two weeks, she

was moving around better and needed more space, so we moved her into an outdoor enclosure where she spent most of her time hiding in the den box or behind a brush pile. Her food would disappear overnight and we would catch an occasional glimpse of a black nose or ears. We hoped she would make a quick recovery so we could reunite her with her family as soon as possible, but now realized that it would take many weeks before she would be quick and agile enough to survive in the wild. NSWERS TO UZZLES She was very good at staying hidden, but during hot weather, if you were quiet when you went out to feed her, you could find her sound asleep, curled up on top of her den box. When

she realized you were there she would jump off and bolt behind the brush pile, but this gave us the opportunity to see that her limp was gradually disappearing and she was making good progress. By late August she was well grown, was able to run and jump and had learned how to hunt, so it was time for her to go back into the wild. On the evening of her release she cautiously sniffed the air and looked around before quietly slipping out of the carrier and running off into the woods. She was obviously not lucky to have been hit by

a car in the first place, but in many other ways this was a very lucky little black fox. She was lucky to have survived being hit by a car. Most wild animals die immediately, or shortly afterwards as a result of their injuries. She was fortunate that someone noticed her and cared enough to stop and call Wolf Hollow, so she was able to get treatment very quickly, which saved her life. And finally, she was very lucky that her injuries were not too severe, so she was able to recover and go back to her life in the wild.
