Stand against violence

Farm parade kicks off fall fun By Anna V. Smith Journal reporter

By Colleen Smith Armstrong Publisher

It takes a community to prevent, recognize and end violence in the home. “Domestic violence is something that places like the school, churches and family resource centers all see too – it’s not just DVSAS and the sheriff ’s office,” said Kim Bryan, director for Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services of the San Juan Islands. In honor of domestic violence awareness month this October, DVSAS is presenting events and raising awareness through outreach. Domestic violence is defined as “the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault and or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another. It includes physical violence, sex-

Saturday’s Farm Parade marked another indication that fall has arrived to the islands. The parade featured local farmers and supporters in trucks, on horses and on foot. This year’s theme was “Let my people grow.” People carried stalks of amaranth, pulled pigs in carts and drove trucks of bamboo in the parade. A number of banners and signs bearers took the occasion to voice opinions on recent issues like greenhouse regulations (No farms no food: Greenhouses forever) and the ongoing lawsuit against Fieldstone Farms that shut down marijuana grow facility San Juan Sun Grown last December (Let Jenny Farm). The lawsuit has gone on for almost one year, despite the closure of San Juan Sun Grown last year. Sweet Earth Farms, Horseshu Ranch, Wild Bird Bamboo, and Heritage Farm were a few participants in the parade that looped around to Brickworks for a chili cook-off and live music. Jake Beliveau was named the winner of the chili cook off. For more photos visit www.sanjuanjournal.com

Schools prepare for earthquake By Cali Bagby Journal editor

This October states across the nation will be participating in the Great Shake Out earthquake drill. “Being prepared is simple and straight forward,” said Brendan Cowan, director of San Juan County’s Department of Emergency Management. On Oct. 15, at 10:15 a.m, participants practice drop, cover and hold. It is also a time to review quake preparedness efforts. By signing up, you will receive information and reminders. This year, Cowan is excited that all of the public school districts in the islands are signed up. Stillpoint School, a private elementary school on San Juan is also participating.

“The schools are our most responsive and willing partners,” said Cowan. On Orcas, several members of Orcas Island Fire and Rescue will be on campus following the drill right next to students. “Keeping students safe and preparing them for a safe and bright future is our mission as educators,” said Orcas School District Superintendent Eric Webb. “Participating in this national shakedown drill is paramount to that mission.” For superintendent of San Juan Island School District Danna Diaz, earthquake drills are imperative to design, organize and practice what to do when an earthquake strikes. “Most importantly, it is critical that we have a strategy in place to

communicate with families and the community during the emergency,” said Diaz. Her district has created an emergency preparedness committee. If you want to serve on the committee email at dannadaiz@ sjisd.wednet.edu. “I look forward to creating a plan for our students and employees that will ensure everyone is safe and united with their loved ones,” she said. Lopez School Superintendent Brian Auckland said practicing for any emergency helps students follow a planned emergency routine that will keep them safe, establish a pattern of good choices and create a sense of orderliness. “These patterns help to reduce student anxiety, fear, and emo-

tional stress,” he added. “It is beneficial to practice each possible emergency with a sincere approach that outlines the importance of everyone’s safety.” Cowan said that often when kids are taught something their parents will learn by extension. Plus kids will carry this idea of being prepared for the rest of their lives. “We know it’s going to happen,” he said. “We have 100 percent certainty it will happen so I want to build earthquake preparedness into our culture.” According to the DEM’s webpage entitled Common Tsunami Questions, “In the most likely scenario, San Juan County will have plenty of warning (due to the See QUAKE, Page 4

Violation of probation will result in 364 days in jail. McClerran has been issued a no-contact order to the victims and ordered to pay $5,922 in restitution, part of which he will pay back through work crew. The charges are a result of an incident May 30 when McClerren was washing the windows of clients on Orcas Island. After they left the house, McClerren stole two

checks and a ring that he later sold to a jewelry shop in Burlington, Wash. On June 11 the clients noticed a large withdrawal from their accounts by a check made out to McClerren. They reported it to the San Juan County Sheriff ’s Department. McClerren ran for San Juan County Council District 3 in 2013 on Lopez Island and lost to Jamie Stephens.

FH Port of Entry facility The Lion’s Eyeland Fest opened on Monday Submitted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection officially opened the newly relocated Friday Harbor Port of Entry facility on October 5. This new facility provides more convenient and centralized services for travelers entering the United States via Friday Harbor by air, land or sea. The new, larger facility, located at 100 1st Street, will allow Customs and Border Protection officers to more efficiently and effectively process the more than 37,000 individuals that come into the United States via this port. CBP employees conduct a variety of activities at this office including cargo importations; processing individuals for trusted traveler programs; importation of personal boats, vehicles and other merchandise; and screening of arriving cargo and passengers. “Friday Harbor’s new office ensures Customs and Border Protection can carry out its functions and serve our community,” said Blaine Area Port Director Gregory Alvarez. “It enhances our ability to ensure the flow of legitimate international travel while safeguarding the homeland from threats abroad.” Customs and Border Protection has a long history at Friday Harbor. The Port of Entry was first established in 1883 and a full-time inspector was assigned to the office in 1900. Today, the Friday Harbor office processes 8,000-plus small vessels into the United States each year, more than the rest of the country combined. The Friday Harbor Port of Entry was previously located at port. The newly-leased space is managed by the U.S. General Services Administration on behalf of Customs and Border Protection.

The San Juan Lions Club will hold its Eyeland Fest on Saturday, Oct. 17 from 6 p.m to 11 p.m. at the San Juan Island Fairgrounds Building. This event is open to all. Admission is free. This year’s fest has something for everyone: • Free admission • Free vision screening exams from 6 - 8 p.m., for all ages • Photo ops with “The Wicked Witch of the West” aka Lisa Moretti, 7 - 9 p.m. • Free child care • Two bands, “The Argyle St. Jazz Band” and “J-Bots” • Silent and live auction to raise funds for eye care for residents of need on San Juan Island • Festival food, 6 - 8 p.m.

Leave no Trace ethics for the island By Anna V. Smith Journal reporter

It’s been one year to the day since San Juan County became the first county in the U.S. to voluntarily adopt the Leave No Trace Guiding Principles and Ethic to support stewardship on the San Juan Islands. Since then, the organization has come up with seven guiding principles specifically meant for the San Juan Islands to assist visitors and locals with leaving as little impact as possible on the

County gets on Twitter

San Juan County is adding Twitter as a means of communicating with citizens. County Manager Mike Thomas said that the county’s tweets will include urgent bulletins as well as links to news releases and items of common interest.

land. The group presented the seven principles to the county council in their Sept. 29 meeting for adoption. The principles were first to prepare and plan to know the rules. Secondly, stick to the trails and camp overnight right. The third was to properly dispose of trash and human or animal waste. Fourth, to “leave it as you find it,” which focused on national and historic sites and not transporting plants or animals to the island which don’t belong. The fifth, especially important this summer, was to be careful with fire. The sixth principle was to

keep wildlife wild by keeping control of pets and not feeding wildlife, as that can lead to habituation as well as disrupt wildlife feeding and hunting cycles. The final principle was to be considerate of other visitors to the island. The council asked the present-

ers how they planned to get the message out succinctly and efficiently. The team spoke of working with the Washington State ferries to introduce the principles, as well as brochures and using the Visitors Bureau as an online resource.

Notice of Availability of the Northwest Training and Testing Final Environmental Impact Statement/ Overseas Environmental Impact Statement (EIS/OEIS) The U.S. Navy, in cooperation with the U.S. Coast Guard and National Marine Fisheries Service, has prepared a Final EIS/OEIS to conclude evaluation of potential environmental impacts from military readiness training and testing activities conducted primarily within existing range complexes, operating areas and testing ranges of the Northwest Training and Testing (NWTT) Study Area.

Proposed Action The Proposed Action is to conduct training and testing activities within the NWTT Study Area, to include the use of active sonar, acoustic sources and explosives, as well as pierside sonar maintenance and testing. While training and testing, the Navy follows strict guidelines and employs measures to reduce effects on marine species. The purpose of the Proposed Action is to ensure that the Navy accomplishes its mission to maintain, train and equip combat-ready naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas. The Final EIS/OEIS also supports the renewal of federal regulatory permits and authorizations for current training and testing activities and future activities requiring environmental analysis.

Public Involvement The completion of the Final EIS/OEIS follows years of research, analysis and public involvement. The Navy held nine public scoping meetings in March 2012, eight public meetings in February/March 2014 for the Draft EIS/OEIS and four public meetings in January 2015 for the Supplement to the NWTT Draft EIS/OEIS. Meetings took place in Washington, Northern California, Oregon and Alaska. The Final EIS/OEIS includes Navy responses to the public comments received during the Draft and Supplement review periods. Regulations provide for a 30-day wait period after the Final EIS/OEIS is published before the Navy may take action.

The Final EIS/OEIS will be available to the public for 30 days beginning Oct. 2, 2015. Access the Final EIS/OEIS online at www.NWTTEIS.com or view a copy at one of 21 community libraries in the affected coastal counties.

Continued from page 1 ual violence, psychological violence and emotional abuse,” according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. San Juan County Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord says domestic violence is present in many of the cases he prosecutes. “Sometimes serious crimes don’t get recognized as domestic violence when in fact they are,” he said. “Domestic violence is something that repeats itself over and over again. It must be treated the first time it happens with zero tolerance.” On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men. The occurrence of domestic violence is so widespread because there isn’t a “typical” victim. They come from all walks of life, varying age groups, all backgrounds, all communities, all education levels, all economic levels, all cultures, all ethnicities, all religions, all abilities, and all lifestyles. “We see domestic violence across the

socio-economic spectrum,” Gaylord said. “For households that have other stressors going on – like the loss of a job or family difficulties – it can be a factor in the incidence of domestic violence. It’s also a pattern that people learn from a young age.” The mission of DVSAS is the prevention and elimination of domestic violence and sexual assault through victim services, education, community awareness and social change. All services are free and confidential. Since January of this year, DVSAS has provided 768 in person advocacy services to 82 clients and provided assistance through 263 crisis calls on their 24/7 crisis lines. Those numbers are Orcas: 376-1234, San Juan: 378-2345 and Lopez: 468-4567. “We are a victim services agency, so if we weren’t here, then where would victims go?” Bryan said. “Where would they get the advocacy they need? We want to empower victims and survivors of domestic violence to re-establish their lives.”

than a 5.0, Cowan describes both as large enough to cause concern. But not all quakes cause tsunamis. The quake has to lift the sea floor to be followed by a tsunami, and according to Cowan, the majority of undersea quakes don’t cause a tsunami. For many years quake experts believed that the closest fault, the Cascadia subduction zone, was safely aseismic. When they found mysteriously sunken Northwest forests that appeared to have been killed by salt intrusion in the year 1700, their conclusion changed. It turns out that the east-

said. “Domestic violence covers a lot of different things like striking someone, sexual misconduct between people in a relationship, damage to property and stalking.” Gaylord said the most common crimes he sees originate from frustration over broken relationships, and end in “assault in the fourth degree,” which is the lowest charge. “Many of the cases we see are excessive pushing or breaking of phones or items around the house,” Gaylord said. When 911 is called and a report is made, it is referred to the prosecutor’s office. But those who seek help from DVSAS are not required to report it to authorities unless they want to pursue charges. Gaylord is clear that the prosecutor’s office is completely separate from the community-based work of DVSAS.

Stand up Men program

Last May, DVSAS asked island men to take a stand in opposition to violence against women by donating $100. The list of names was published in the local newspapers, and it helped get the conversation started about how men are a big part of the solution. ward-moving Juan de Fuca tectonic plate is not sliding smoothly beneath the westward-moving North American plate; instead, it’s bunching up, building up tremendous pressure that scientists believe will eventually let loose in the space of a few minutes. If the fault’s five segments all “go off ” at once, a 9.0-plus magnitude megaquake could launch twin killer tsunamis, one toward the Pacific coast and one toward Japan. Seismologists now believe that’s what caused what is known as the Orphan Tsunami, which killed 1,000 people in 1700. When the plates finally

After the success of that campaign, Stand Up Men action groups have started on San Juan and Orcas. There are plans in progress for a Lopez chapter to open soon. The men meet monthly to learn, organize and plan ways to engage their communities. For more information, contact DVSAS Advocate Richard Low at richard@ DVSASsanjuans.org. Community members can see the men weekly on the San Juan County Courthouse lawn at noon on Fridays spreading the word with signs and open discussions. This month, they will also be pounding stakes to help set up the installation of the “Remember My Name” silhouettes on Orcas, Lopez and San Juan. The silhouettes represent Washington men and women who have died as a result of domestic violence.

slipped free, the pent-up Pacific coast dropped by about five feet, submerging the forest. Predictions as to when the plates will roar again vary, but the Washington State Department of Natural Resource Chief Hazards Geologist Tim Walsh has said six past earthquakes affecting Washington have occurred 500 to 550 years apart. The year 2015 will make it 315 years and counting since the last big event. Canadian and U.S. experts have offered probabilities of 14 to 29 percent that the event could occur during the next 50 years.

So for people in the emergency business like Cowan, not being prepared for a quake doesn’t make sense. “It’s not that different than having an air bag or house insurance even though you may never be in catastrophic car wreck or have a house burn down. These are little things you do every day just in case,” said Cowan. “Earthquakes are rare but when they do happen the impacts are high.” For more information and to sign up for the drill go to www.shakeout.org/ washington/index.html.

Salish Sea vessel traffic to increase

Submitted by the Friends of the San Juans If all the new and expanding terminal and refinery projects in the Salish Sea are permitted and developed, including projects that became operational in 2014, there would be a 43 percent increase in large, commercial marine vessel traffic. Friends of the San Juans and San Juan Islanders for Safe Shipping have released the Salish Sea Vessell Traffic Projections featuring 18 new or expanded proposed or recently completed proj-

ects, which cumulatively would add an additional 5,300 annual vessel transits to and from ports in the area. Friends of the San Juans partnered with San Juan Islanders for Safe Shipping to research and create the Salish Sea Vessel Traffic Projections flyer given the lack of current consolidated vessel traffic projections for British Columbia and Washington. Container ship traffic is projected to increase by a total of 1,300 transits per year. There are two new

container terminal proposals and one container terminal expansion underway in Port Metro Vancouver. The ports of Seattle and Tacoma recently formed the Northwest Seaport Alliance with plans to increase their container terminals’ capacity from 3,400,000 TEUs 20-foot Equivalent Units) to 6,000,000 TEUs per year. The project that represents the greatest oil spill risk is Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion project, which would increase Canadian oil sands crude

oil exports from 300,000 to 890,000 barrels per day. This project’s oil spill risk is compounded by the amount of increased vessel traffic and the volume and type of crude oil cargo, which is more environmentally damaging and more costly to clean up in the event of a spill. Project-related tanker vessel traffic would increase from 120 transits per year to 816 oil tanker transits per year. The Salish Sea Vessel Traffic Projections flyer is at www.sanjuans.org/safeshipping/.

First candidate forum draws crowd

By Anna V. Smith Journal reporter

All six candidates for three different positions on the San Juan County Public Hospital District #1 board gathered Sept. 30 to answer questions submitted by the community. Around 142 people came to the forum, though an early question by moderator Jack Cory made clear that most in attendance had already made up their mind. When Cory asked the audience how many were undecided, just a few hands were raised. The

forum focused on questions of budgets, the EMS levy and communication and accessibility of the board and hospital to the community. Only a few questions near the end of the forum touched on end-of-life directives and abortion services, two issues which have been the most divisive in the non-partisan race. Each candidate said that personal beliefs would not interfere with their role on the board, and all but two said that they did not seek political endorsements. Bill Williams said he did seek political endorsement

from all parties so that they could be well informed voters, and Monica Harrington also sought endorsements from local groups. Bill Hancock, Bill Williams, Jenny Ledford and Michelle Loftus all stated they would not look to change the contract with PeaceHealth, while Barbara Sharp said she would not seek it, but was not opposed to it if it improved access to islanders. Harrington said that she saw amendments to contracts as a normal process of growth. Check out our Q&A with the candidates in next week’s paper.

We need all three for a majority! We’re supporting Barbara Sharp, Bill Williams and Monica Harrington because they want to make the new hospital a better place for all islanders, but we need all three to make a majority on the Public Hospital District Commission.

Letters to the Editor Loftus, Ledford and Hancock

Let’s not enter into litigation to fix something that isn’t broken - namely Peace Island Medical Center. Monica Harrington, Barbara Sharp and Bill Williams seem to think that litigation will make our hospital conform to Monica’s pet causes: providing abortion and assisted suicide. Litigation is expensive,

risky and unnecessary. Neither of these procedures is required by law of a critical care hospital such as ours. Abortion was not performed on San Juan Island before we had the hospital and assisted suicide is not done by hospitals. Lets’ elect Hospital District Commissioners who have their priorities straight — the fiscal health and stable future of our EMS. Elect Michelle Loftus, Jenny Ledford and Doc Hancock. JILL MEYER Friday Harbor

Thankful for PIMC, EMS and Medevac

In 2012, my late husband had to be flown off the island twice. The compassionate and skilled paramedics and EMT’s treated him, but at that time there was no hospital on the island. My daughter had to take off work to be with him and bring him home. In 2013, I fell outside and hit my head on a rock. I lived alone at that time. The same compassionate and skilled paramedics came, but this time there was Peace Island Medical Center with a 24/7 emergency room equipped with a CT Scanner that could diagnose my head injury. There was also a board certified ER physician that could stitch up my head wound. My daughter did not have to take off work to come to the mainland to get me. I am thankful for PIMC investing in our community to bring us medical care we did not have with the old Inter Island Medical Center. I am also thankful to the hospital district board of commissioners and the administration of EMS and Medevac to provide the Paramedics and EMT’s with what they need to continue the excellent service our community has come to expect from them.

Because of my experiences with PIMC, and EMS and Medevac, I am trusting Jenny Ledford with my vote for hospital district board of commissioner for position 3 on Nov. 3. I trust Jenny to collaborate with PIMC, and help keep a facility of its kind on our island for years to come to serve our medical needs. I trust Jenny to lead fiscally and support EMS and Medevac so the organization can continue to serve our community. I trust Jenny, so I urge you to trust Jenny too! Don’t forget to vote on Nov. 3, 2015. DOLORES HUTCHINS San Juan Island

Sharp, Williams and Harrington

As a long time San Juan Island resident and taxpayer. I am deeply concerned about the upcoming election for our public hospital district commissioners. I have come to the conclusion that we truly need the most qualified, experienced candidates. I am also very concerned with the EMS budget and compliance with our state laws, particularly death with dignity and the reproductive privacy act. The candidates I’ve decided on are all well informed and capable. I firmly believe they can and will do a better job for all of us than their opponents. Please join me in voting for Barbara Sharp, Bill Williams and Monica Harrington. They make a formidable team that will look out for our health care interests, the needs and concerns of all islanders and make more effective use of our tax dollars. ELENA THOMS San Juan Island

ing folks in the Peace Island Medical Center Emergency Room and at Island Air Ambulance. I’ve always felt that we Islanders are truly blessed to have such caring professionals available when we need them, and early this week, when I needed them most, they were right there. To Dr. Stone and his staff, and to Don, Trish, Craig, Will and Jacquie, thank you all so much not only for your skills and devotion to your work, but also for your kindness, cheerfulness, and generosity of spirit.

Meet the Honeywells

Many out there have expressed an interest in the Orca Dreams subdivision and dock application that are currently under review by the San Juan County Department of Community Development. It’s become apparent to us that there are a lot of misconceptions regarding the development proposal that are being passed around in our small island community via

social media and the grapevine. Remember the game “Telephone?” Because of this, Dave and Nancy Honeywell believe it would be productive if we had a chance to meet one another and discuss this proposal. We’d like to present the project to you and talk a bit about the information and reports that have been prepared for these applications, listen to your concerns and answer your questions. Will you join us? This is your opportunity to become fully informed with real facts. This gathering will be held from 3 to 4 p.m. on Oct. 10 at Brickworks. We look forward to meeting you!

Why ruin signs?

On my way to work this morning, I was dismayed to see “Trust Jenny” and “Michelle Loftus” signs knocked over. This was at the corner of Egg Lake and Roche Harbor Roads. I propped them back up as best I could, but the wires were bent on one, and supporting sticks were broken

Vote for Jenny

This has nothing to do with football, but I’m calling the play and handing you the ball. We need yardage and we need a touchdown! Actually, we need your vote! I am asking for your vote for my wife, Jenny. She is running for San Juan County Public Hospital Commissioner, position 3. There are three commissioner positions open this election time, with two candidates running for each position. This is a non-partisan election so you can feel free to vote for the three individuals you feel will best represent this Island community. Jenny has no personal agenda and no axe to grind with the hospital. She has no vendetta against PeaceHealth as a Catholic healthcare ministry. She has no political aspiration. She simply wants to work for you to assist the EMS See LETTERS, Page 7

Editorial

Help change the statistics By Colleen Smith Armstrong Publisher

Every 9 seconds in the United States, a woman is assaulted or beaten. On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men. Seeing these kind of numbers should be appalling, but sometimes they are just words on a page. What exactly do they represent? Kim Bryan, the director of Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Services of the San Juans, shared the following story with us: “The manager of a local island business called me with serious concerns because he believed one of his employees was experiencing violence at home and he felt helpless to know what to do. I encouraged him to either have her call us or come by the office. Two hours later he drove her to our office and waited in the car while she met with one of our confidential advocates. Now that she and her children are living an abuse-free life, she credits her employer for caring enough to ask the tough questions, find the resources and assist her with taking the steps necessary to break the cycle of abuse in her home. The manager called me just the other day and said, ‘When I called you the first time, I felt desperate and hopeless. Now I know there is hope because our community is lucky enough to have such an amazing resource like DVSAS.’” It is difficult for many of us to accept that domestic violence and sexual assault occur in our special, safe island communities. But since Jan. 1 of this year, DVSAS has provided 768 in-person advocacy services to 82 clients and provided assistance through 263 crisis calls on their 24/7 crisis lines. If you know of anyone who might be in a harmful situation, encourage him or her to get help. The 24-hour crisis lines are as follows: • Orcas, 376-1234 • San Juan, 378-2345 • Lopez, 468-4567 We feel that a key component to ending the cycle of violence starts with men. And after the overwhelming success of the 100 Stand Up Men Campaign in May of this year, many of those who donated money to DVSAS have stepped up to start “Stand Up Men Action Groups” on San Juan and Orcas. These men have decided to invest their energy and time for “Violence Free Communities.” They meet monthly to learn, organize and plan ways to engage their communities in the cause. We are so grateful for this new development. Whatever you can do – whether it’s educating ourselves, donating money or helping someone in a dangerous situation – it all goes towards changing those statistics.

Letters

Continued from page 6 and Peace Island Medical Center to continue their path toward excellence in serving you better. There is a very personal aspect. Jenny has a passion to be of service to the EMS because our EMT’s saved our son’s life in February 2012, and our hospital has cared compassionately for several friends. You may say that I am biased in my opinion, but I am the only one who truly knows Jenny’s heart and soul. She will always do “what’s” right and not get all wrapped up in “who’s” right. You can count on Jenny’s integrity and trust her tireless effort to serve this community. If you are not registered to vote please register in the small building across the street from the courthouse. The ballots will be mailed out on Oct. 13. All voters on San Juan Island and the smaller outer islands are eligible to vote. I want your vote for Jenny. This campaign has been a lot of work and we are pouring our hearts into it, just like we have always done for football. We are getting closer to the goal line in this election and we are looking to win! I am excited to be on Jenny’s team! To learn more about Jenny, please go to her website www.trustjenny.net. RICHARD LEDFORD San Juan Island

Support for Ledford

We have a district hospital commission election coming up and I hope all

voters are taking a close look at the candidates and the issues. This is a nonpartisan race. That one political party has chosen to endorse a slate of candidates anyway is unfortunate. This is a time in the life of the island that we should keep our eyes on the nonpolitical nature of our health and our care. Illness and injury can hit any one of us and we are extremely fortunate to have the Peace Island Medical Center and Emergency Medical Service personnel. The candidates should be looked at as individuals, not as a partisan voting bloc. We need independent thought and fidelity to the commissioner position from hardworking people who will focus on us, not advance personal agendas and not invite interference from outside groups. Candidates who invite litigation are doing us a disservice. Jenny Ledford is one of our island neighbors who fills the commissioner job description perfectly. She is a leader, a seasoned professional who can work with diverse groups without axe grinding, a communication expert who has worked with our EMS personnel, and someone who is warm and genuine. Jenny is a good person, a full-time resident who will embrace a full time commitment to island residents. She has a history of community involvement, and understands the requirements of a hospital commissioner’s position. You will have the opportunity to vote for three candidates. I urge you to include Jenny Ledford in

that number. You won’t be sorry. RICH PETERSON San Juan Island

Cory: skilled moderator

Who was the winner of the forum for San Juan Public Hospital District #1 Candidates held at the Mullis Center on Wednesday, Sept. 30? Jack Cory was a skillful and impartial moderator. His example promoted an atmosphere of orderly and respectful conversation instead of accusation and conflict. We candidates appreciated his leadership. Because of the moderator’s firm but friendly control the audience got much of the information they came to hear. Those in the audience were the clear winners at the forum. Thanks Jack! DOC HANCOCK San Juan Island

The Privilege of Choice

The hospital board election is extremely impactful for all islanders. A careful assessment of that impact is in order. May I just be personal here? The truth is, I like to write about birds and happy things, but the election we are facing has me thinking. I really like birds, and I keep wondering . . . what if someone told me that, regardless of my abhorrence, I had to smash the delicate little hummingbird’s nest filled with the tiny eggs? How would it feel to squeeze it inside my fist and . . . ? Three candidates, as I

understand it, are pressuring for a big change: doctors and nurses must be forced to assist their patients to commit suicide; abort unwanted pregnancies; and other reproductive measures. We aren’t talking about small compromises . . . or about birds. We’re unbelievably talking about coercing a human being, a neighbor, to destroy life. Do candidates, Sharp, Williams, and Harrington realize that their actions lead to denying other people the privilege of choice? Peace Island Medical Center is not just a business – they are the neighbors, doctors, nurses, technicians that live beside us. There will come a time when each of us may rely on these very neighbors in our most critical, helpless moments. Doctors, nurses and technicians will be forced to choose between their current jobs on the island, or losing an important part of themselves by taking action that is personally abhorrent. Those pushing for the added procedures have other options available. The real issue is about respect for the choices of others — however they may differ from our own interests. Given these consequences, and others, I believe this election is very important. Ledford, Loftus, and Hancock have chosen to support an alternative to those consequences. I appreciate the manner in which they support choice, and their consideration for the community at large. PEGGY BUTLER San Juan Island

Election derailing hospital progress By Tom Cable

For the past ten years my wife and I have worked with a group of other volunteers to bring enhanced healthcare to the island. This effort evolved into a $30 million project, the largest ever on the island, with $20 million from PeaceHealth and $10 million from local philanthropy and not $1 from taxes. The result is PeaceHealth Peace Island Medical Center. We are very proud of our partnership with PeaceHealth, our beautiful environmentally friendly facility, state of the art technology and, most importantly, the team of committed, compassionate professional caregivers. We need to continue to build on this progress. A contentious hospital district election threatens to derail this progress. Three of the five positions on the board are being contested. I would like to highlight the candidates for Position 3 – Monica Harrington and

Jenny Ledford. Monica is a part-time resident of the island who for the past four years has been on a personal quest to discredit Catholic sponsored healthcare in general and PeaceHealth in particular. She refers to PIMC as “ground zero” in this quest. Her blog, “Catholic Watch” and her numerous emails and letters are replete with false assertions and gross distortions, all disparaging to PIMC. Monica has focused her attack on PIMC primarily by asserting that it fails to comply with the Reproductive Privacy Act and the Death With Dignity Act. (Attorneys for both PeaceHealth and the hospital district disagree with those assertions.) While focusing on these “hot button” issues she is ignoring the broad healthcare needs of the vast majority of San Juan Island residents. She is also ignoring the accomplishments of

PIMC caregivers who have saved lives, successfully treated serious injuries and illnesses, eliminated the need for more than 10,000 off-island medical trips, cut emergency medical evacuations nearly in half, and enabled over 130 cancer patients to receive multiple chemotherapy treatments close to home. She has yet to offer one positive comment on the enormous expansion of healthcare services that PIMC has brought to the island or to acknowledge the many positive contributions of its team of caregivers. Jenny Ledford provides a stark contrast to Monica. Jenny and her husband Richard are full time residents of the island and highly regarded, contributing members of the community. She cares deeply about and understands the breadth of healthcare needs of the community and is focused on ensurSee ELECTION, Page 9

Obituaries Mary Kingland

Mary Margaret Kingland of Friday Harbor, passed away in her home Sept. 19, 2015 after losing a brief fight with cancer. Mary was born January 12, 1941 to Margaret and William Ryan in Seattle, Washington. Raised in Bellevue, she developed her love of water on the shores of Lake Washington. She lived most of her adult life in Auburn where she raised her family with her husband, Bruce, and worked as a registered nurse for 25 years at Auburn General Hospital. Mary lived by water and by seasons. From a young

child, she spent summers boating the San Juans and north into Canada. Raising her family in the foot hills of Mt. Rainier hiking, horseback riding and skiing, she expanded her love for the Northwest but always returning to the water she loved. Spring was spent in the greenhouse and gardening. Summers were busy with fishing and watering and defending the garden. With fall came the harvest of the garden, berries, mushrooms and the splitting and stacking of wood. Mary enjoyed freezing and preserving her garden’s bounty to enjoy through the winter with friends.

FIBER UPDATE Rock Island Communications has been busy installing fiber optic broadband to homes and businesses around the county. This historic undertaking will provide fast, reliable Internet up to 200Mbps to those who want it.

Mary and Bruce built a home on San Juan Island and moved here in the 1990’s, adding beautiful gardens to their property and happily sharing it all with the deer as she reminded us “they were there first.” She became immediately involved in the community, generously giving her time to several organizations. She volunteered for several years with the InterIsland Medical Guild and with the San Juan Schools

Foundation as a strong supporter of public education. Golf, bridge, fishing and gardening remained her passions until the end. Because of this strong connection with the island community and because of her kind and happy nature, she made many lasting connections and friendships. Mary loved this community and she loved her family. She left us too early and she is dearly missed. She is preceded in death

by her husband, Bruce in 2014 and survived by her children, Scott Kingland of Enumclaw and Jennifer Prewitt of Mercer Island (Lee), grandchildren Audrey and Evelyn Prewitt, also of Mercer Island, brother, Cal Ryan of Friday Harbor(Mary Karen), and nephews, Tyler and Brady Ryan, also of Friday Harbor. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to San Juan Preservation Trust, the Animal Protection

Society of Friday Harbor, Wolf Hollow, the San Juan Community Theater or Hospice. A small family service will be held at a later date.

Ribbon cutting at Cattle Point Road More than 14 years of planning, one and half years of design and six months of heavy construction will culminate in a ribbon cutting and celebration of the Cattle

Point Road Realignment Project scheduled at 11 a.m., Thursday Oct. 15 at the American Camp visitor center, 4668 Cattle Point Road.

We’re currently managing over 250 simultaneous construction projects countywide. Here are some of the groups we’ve been working with to date: Current Group Projects Suncrest on Orcas Island Whiskey Hill on Lopez Island Cape San Juan on San Juan Island Mineral Point on San Juan Island Spring Point on Orcas Island Mineral Heights on San Juan Island The Highlands on San Juan Island Completed Group Projects Alder Forest on Orcas Island Eagle Lake on Orcas Island Seattle Pacific University on Blakely Island Alder Cottages on Orcas Island

The ribbon-cutting ceremony, which will take place, weather permitting, at the Jackson Scenic Overlook will include remarks by representatives of the agencies involved in the project, in addition to members of the state’s Congressional delegation, if possible, according to Jerald Weaver, acting park superintendent and Shannon Wilbur, senior project engineer for the San Juan County Public Works department. Because of limited parking at the overlook, attendees will be shuttled from the American Camp visitor

center parking area beginning at 10 a.m. Overflow parking also will be available at the Redoubt parking area, as well as along the Redoubt Road. A reception will follow the ceremony in a pavilion to be erected adjacent to the American Camp visitor center. For accessibility information and other details contact Mike Vouri, park chief of interpretation, at 360378-2240, ext. 2227, or park ranger Doug Halsey at ext. 2228.

By Anna V. Smith Journal reporter

red Yockers returns to theater to direct the Glass Menagerie, his first play in five years and his first time directing at San Juan Community Theatre. A longtime high school drama teacher and director in the community, Yockers retired five years ago. Why now, and why “The Glass Menagerie?” Yockers said that it didn’t come about necessarily through a burning desire to return to theater, but rather when given the opportunity to direct his favorite play with some highly talented local actors, he couldn’t say no. “The Glass Menagerie,” which Yockers first saw in his early college years, features four characters each caught up in their own fixations: Amanda Wingfield, a faded, abandoned southern belle, her son Tom, an aspiring poet, and her daughter Laura, an introverted, self-conscious girl and a gentleman caller named Jim O’Connor. “I have always loved this play,” Yockers said. “It was very formative, and it left me with a very

strong impression.” The play is written by Tennessee Williams, writer of “A Streetcar Named Desire,” “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof ” and other classics that have survived time. Yockers describes Williams as a master of words who creates despairing situations of great angst, balanced with laughter. “There’s a few iconic American playwrights, and he’s one of them. There’s nothing by Tennessee Williams that I haven’t liked,” Yockers said. Quoting a professor he had long ago, Yockers said that watching a Williams play is like going to the dentist to get your teeth pulled full of pain and discomfort, but leaves you with an open space afterwards. This will be the first time Yockers has directed adults, since his long career was with high schoolers. “These people are such devoted, hardworking people, it’s an honor to work with them,” Yockers said of the four actors he’s working with. Susan Williams plays mother Amanda Wingfield, Tyler Ryan plays her son, Tom Wingfield,

Beatrice Grauman-Boss plays daughter Laura Wingfield and James Gull plays Jim O’Connor. Georgia Smith is stage manager and assistant to the director. When directing a play, Yockers said, it gives the director an opportunity to be a visionary, especially in a Tennessee Williams play where the dialogue and delivery can be manipulated, and the director can guide the audience through different emotions. Yockers touched on suspension of disbelief in theatre, where the audience sets aside their realistic interpretations and are carried along with the play. “I almost catch my breath when people are watching a play I directed and they laugh or they cry,” Yockers said. “People are giving you their disbelief and saying: ‘Here is my heart, do something with it.’” “The Glass Menagerie” plays at the Whittier Theatre Oct. 9 and 10 at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 11 at 2 p.m., and Oct. 15-17, 22-24 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the theatre or online at www.sjctheatre.org

the great romantic themes: a doomed love affair ending in tragedy, a dive into fantasy and ultimate redemption through the power of love. The young peasant girl Giselle dies when she learns that the man she loves, Albrecht, has betrayed her. Against her own will, she joins the wilis – vengeful spirits who now turn against Albrecht and condemn him to dance until he dies of exhaustion.

The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com

APS: story of love and dedication

—Submitted by the Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor For our present day story we begin with love and dedication. On July 14, 1991, the Animal Protection Society signed an agreement with the Port of Friday Harbor to lease a half acre piece of land on Cattle Point Road for 20 years. In 1992 a Conditional Use Permit was granted for the proposed new shelter. A Texmo building was designed and then constructed by Alvord Richardson with subcontractors Wilson Electric and Plumbing and James Bros. Heating. In the spring of 1992 the ground-breaking ceremony included APS leaders Kate Brooks and Randa Bouton along with Sparky the beagle. The shelter was on its way to a new home and by the end of the year it was a reality! The doors opened at our current shelter in November of 1992 with the official ribbon cutting ceremony held in December. It was a very exciting time for the new shelter. We can give credit to Dodie Gann and Betsy Gunther for their leadership and dedication. They organized the staff and board and they sold dog licenses for the county. It

was the best way to find your lost dog on the island. Dodie coined the phrase, “ A license is a phone call home for a dog without a dime.” These generous people: Elizabeth Schwalbe, Holly Harbers, Angie Metts, Dodie Gann, Consuelo Larrabee, Shirley Owens, Lori Petersen and Sue Rich would be at Market Place selling dog licenses every January. Back then in 2001, licenses cost $8.00 or $15.00. (The shelter has always gotten a percent of that charge; we also receive a portion of the County Livestock Fund that is split between Orca’s and Lopez Island) It was Dodie’s energy that fueled the board and volunteers as they implemented some wonderful educational programs for our community. She encouraged everyone to support their Local Animal Shelter. We grew stronger as a shelter and our mission statement says it all: To reduce pet overpopulation through spay and neuter assistance, to adopted unwanted pets into quality homes, to protect animals from neglect, abuse, and abandonment, to advocate for their welfare through Education and direct assistance and to promote greater

appreciation of human and animal interaction In 1994 Leslie Byron started her career at the shelter. In 2004 she became the director. She is our force of nature. Lets just say she knows how to throw a party and raise money! Important skills for a non-profit organization. She created WAGS, The Spayghetti Dinner and the Senior-to-Senior program. In Leslie’s eyes the Shelter is a team that works very well together. The team includes Jan Murphy, operating manager at the shelter. Her love

for our four legged friends is remarkable, she often takes home the “elders” (very old dogs that have been placed in the shelter’s care). If Jan sees a dog left in a car on a hot day she will find you and ask you “why would you do that?” In our town there is no animal control officer. We have Jan! All strays, abused and neglected dogs or cats come to the shelter. Jan is usually the first person that they meet and they start to feel safe. The current board is a hard working group off people with Jaime Ellsworth

as president. Jamie has been with the shelter since 2006. She has the best animal and people skills. You can see her love for animals in her paintings that she so generously donates to our fundraising events. Her heart is always in the right place. It has always been about

our beloved four legged furry friends. Its so easy to look into a shelter animal’s eyes and see why. We are very thankful to have the past and the present Animal Shelter and we are so excited about our future! Next week: Our New Hope New Home Campaign

CONSUMER ALERT

Scammers are targeting newspapers Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers. Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution: Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone. The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper, and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices, to report a problem with the customer’s credit card. The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card. These callers are not from this newspaper. This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments; but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method. To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper, use these following tips: • Ask the caller to identify himself/herself and the office he/she is calling from, including the address. If you do not recognize the caller, hang up and call your local newspaper office directly. • Before providing payment information to a caller, ask for information that would be unknown to scammers. This could include your billing address or previous payment information. A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method, check numbers, banking institution and/or the last four digits and expiration of your credit card. • If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined, verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement. If you receive a scam call like this, write down all information you can about the call, such as: the caller’s name, phone number, time of day and duration of call. If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers – Immediately contact your bank and/or credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation. Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation.

If you are a victim of this scam please contact this office 360-394-8704, your local police department, or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney General’s office.

Five more inducted into hall of fame

By Anna V. Smith Journal reporter

At the football game against Bellingham Oct. 2, five past football players were inducted in the Wolverine Football Hall of Fame to join 13 others. Nathan Steenkolk, shown right, wore #40 and played for the Wolverines from 2010-2013 as a fullback and linebacker with coaches Darrin Scheffer and Richard Ledford. He was a four-year starter and four years First Team All-League Player. Steenkolk played in the 2014

Washington State All-Star Game as a fullback and linebacker where he scored a touchdown in the State AllStar Game. Steenkolk lives in Oregon and plans to become a Marine. The next inductee was Ben Waldron, who wore #3 and played as a running back and corner back from 1995-1997 with coach Gene Wilson. He was a unanimous selection for First Team All-League running back and defensive back in 1997. Waldron was also a First Team All-State Player in 1997, and played in

the 1998 Washington State All-Star Football Game as a running back and cornerback. Waldron works as an EMT in Friday Harbor. The third inductee, Nathan Prescott, played for the Wolverines for four years, 1995-1998, with coach Gene Wilson. Prescott wore #44 and was a four-year starter, made 160 tackles in his senior season and once made 30 tackles in one game. Prescott was chosen as 1998 First Team All-State linebacker and played in the 1999 Washington State All-

Star Game as a fullback and linebacker. Prescott is now a commercial fisherman in Massachusetts. Sean Stortzum, the fourth inductee, also wore #44 and played during the 1991-1993 seasons as a receiver, running back, defensive back and quarterback with coach Ruben Woodruff. Stortzum went on to play college football at Linfield College. He is now a real estate appraiser in Oregon. The final recipient was Marty Pujolar, who wore #44 during the 1990-1991

seasons with coach Ruben Woodruff as a wide receiver and defensive back. He received the 1991 Wolverine Most Valuable Player Award for both offense and defense, and played football at the University of Puget Sound. He was voted team captain in 1995. Pujolar is an attorney in Seattle. The Hall of Fame Commemorative Programs will be for sale at home games.
