A contract for sale of the 260 Spring Street build-ing to Donald and Penelope Torkington has been “signed both ways,” but won’t close until the new second floor shell is completed sometime in March.

Neither Scott Boden, the present owner, nor the Torkingtons would comment on the agreed-upon price, but sources familiar with the transaction confirm that it is in the $2 million range. Boden purchased the building in late 2012 for $877,000, according to county records, and is doubling the size of the building, add-ing a 5,200 square foot second floor to the building, formerly known as Jeri’s Mall.

Boden declined to comment on the cost of the second floor construction, but two local sources familiar with com-mercial real estate construction thought the $150,000 estimate included in the Friday Harbor permit application was “way too low.”

One knowledgeable source believes that adding the second floor to the building might cost about $300,000, not including finishing the inside as a resi-dence, which is what Penelope Torkington has previously said that she intends to do.

Current tenants of build-ing have met the new owners, and several say they welcome

Change of plans at Jeri’s Mall

Port of Friday Harbor Commissioners are knee-deep in numbers and concepts as they figure out the whats, whys and hows of the Spring Street Landing redevelopment project.

Pride in the project and Port Commission’s desire for public participation in the decision-making process have led to release of more information about the buildings and more images of design and site plans for public perusal.

“We want to hear from you,” said Commissioner Greg Hertel, referring to the commission meeting scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 26, and to the commission’s desire for input on the project from any source at any time. That meeting, at the Yacht Club, begin-ning at 4 p.m. has numerous Spring Street Landing items for discussion and action on the agenda.

Another public meeting for review of near-final drawings is planned for sometime in March, according to the present schedule.

All three commissioners confirm a “broad-brush ballpark estimate” of $4 million for con-struction of buildings to replace the burned out

Move over guys, the ladies have taken the lead.

Avid angler Brenda Schmidt of San Juan Island reeled in a 21.33-pound salmon to take over the lead in Week 3 of the 10th annual Frank Wilson Memorial Fishing Derby. Her derby-leading catch is about one-pound shy of Geno James’ winning fish of 2012 and gives Schmidt a commanding lead

with five weeks left in the annual competition.

If Schmidt’s lead holds, it appears that she would be the first-ever female to win the Wilson derby.

“I hope I can hold onto the lead,” Schmidt said. “It’s exciting,

but you just never know what might happen. But I wouldn’t mind claiming that one (first female derby winner).

Along with the top spot on the derby leader-board, Schmidt

Ideas wanted - to turn Sunshine Alley into a new town focal point and a worthy entryway to the Brickworks.

Everyone is invited on Wednesday or Thursday, Feb. 26 or 27, to brain-storm ideas for Sunshine Alley with Tom Beckwith, a La Conner-based urban design consultant hired by the Town of Friday Harbor to mastermind the redevel-opment of Sunshine Alley (Wednesday’s session was full, as of Monday).

Town Administrator Duncan Wilson, the mayor and Town Council, and the people behind the success-ful redevelopment of the Brickworks will be there to hear your ideas and give theirs to the Beckwith Consulting Group team.

Workshop participants will divide into small groups to develop ideas for alley entries and por-tals, pathways and connec-

tions, alleyway treatments, building backside improve-ments and uses, outdoor dining areas, performance areas, children’s play areas, landscaping, accents and artworks, landmarks, and lighting - or any other topic workshop participants wish to consider.

The town website (www.fridayharbor.org) has an extensive collection of materials to peruse, includ-ing the survey of customers and tourists already pre-

pared, schematic diagrams of the Sunshine Alley site and the planning process, and numerous photos of existing conditions and of what’s been done elsewhere.

Two days have been set aside to accommodate the expected large group. Mayor Carrie Lacher and the con-sultant ask that everyone sign up in advance so each

Do San Juan County voters and county council candidates receive unequal treat-ment in countywide elections because the population of the three county legislative districts, also known as “residency” dis-tricts, are decidedly unequal in size?

A lawsuit filed on the heels of the November 2012 election, in which changes to the county home-rule charter reduced the size of the council from six to three elected officials, contends that they are. And that lawsuit and its list of allegations have yet to be resolved.

San Juan County was back in court this week to defend its unequal-sized resi-dency districts and handling of the three Charter Review Commission-backed bal-lot propositions that, among other items, reshaped the county council and the manner by which council candidates are elected.

The lawsuit also contends that each of the three proposed charter amendments put before the voters back in 2012 ran afoul of the state so-called “subject and title rule” because all three addressed more than a single topic.

Legal arguments in the case of Carlson, et. al versus San Juan County began Monday before three justices at the state court of appeals in Seattle.

Should her clients prevail, Friday Harbor attorney Stephanie O’Day is unsure about what remedy the court might choose to impose. The case could be sent back to San Juan County Superior Court, where the lawsuit was rejected by Judge John M. Meyer of Skagit County about a year ago.

“My hope would be that the court would admonish the county on the subject and title clause,” said O’Day, who acknowledges that it is unlikely the court would order a return to a 6-person council.

“I think there’s too much water under the bridge for that at this point.”

Still, she would like to see residency districts redrawn so that they would be more equal in size.

But that may prove an

uphill battle, at least as in the eyes of the county legal team.

In an earlier interview, Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord noted that the residency districts established by voter-approved changes to the charter are autho-rized by state law under an exception and statue tailored in Olympia primarily for San Juan County that dates back to 1982.

Those districts mirror what was in place before voters approved the Home Rule charter in 2005 and the three districts were divided into six to accommodate a 6-person council.

The lawsuit contends, for example, that the odds of being elected to the county council for anyone residing in the Lopez/Shaw district, population of 2,753, are three times greater than for anyone in the district that compromises San Juan Island and its outer islands, with a population of 7,662.

In addition, the suit contends that the combination of unequally sized districts and countywide elections violates a citizen’s constitutional right to equal representation by “diluting” the number of votes cast for a council candidate running from their respective districts.

Gaylord previously noted, however, that a state attorney general opinion, issued in the early 1990s, backs that state statute that allows for legislative districts of unequal populations in a county made up entirely of islands and with a population of under 35,000.

“An attorney general opinion carries a great deal of weight in the legal realm,” he said shortly after the lawsuit was first filed. “One of the prime arguments in the case is that they’re trying to invalidate a state statute that’s been in effect for more than 30 years.”

After arguments are aired Monday, in which each side has 10 minutes to pres-ent its case, O’Day said it could be months before a decision is issued by the appellate court.

Charter changes back in court Lawsuit challenges voting districts of unequal size

pocketed $75 for landing the biggest of the week. She hooked the burly behe-moth Sunday morning, somewhere (she won’t say where) off the north side of San Juan Island.

“The big boy fought me for about 20 minutes,” she said. “He was all about

trying to get away.” Schmidt isn’t the only female angler

making her presence known in this year’s derby, which, like prior 10-week fishing competitions, is a benefit for San Juan EMS.

Vicki Telford, one of Schmidt’s boat mates on Saturday--Kevin Klein and Schmidt’s husband, Peter, were also along for the ride--took over third place by landing a 10.76 pounder.

day’s attendance will be bal-anced to give everyone the most opportunity to partici-pate fully.

The town website has a link to the sign-up sheet; click here to register.

The concepts created in the design workshop will be detailed, evaluated, and refined by the consultant team. The purpose of the workshop is to create ideas - not resolve all the details.

Once the workshop con-

cepts have been compiled and refined, an open house at Brickworks and online will be conducted where you may review, critique, and rank (vote on) the ideas.

building formerly occupied by Downriggers Restaurant and three other businesses. Adding in waterfront bulkhead costs and “soft costs” such as architectural and engineering fees will add “substantially more” to the total costs, according to commission sources.

Some of the cost will come from a fire insurance settle-ment, which will probably be in the $2.2 million to $2.6 mil-lion range, although Commissioner Barbara Merritt thinks the final amount “should” approach $3 million.

According to Hertel, the insurance carrier is seeking to pay at the low end of the range, despite estimates by inde-pendent consultants that repairing the old structure is not possible and that rebuilding what was there before the fire would be at the high end of the range.

At the Feb. 6 public meeting to review new preliminary designs for the SSL building, architect Peter Brachvogel of BC&J architects unveiled a two-building package having roughly 1,000 square feet more than the previous structure. The main building would have an upper level restaurant of about 4,000 square feet, plus a considerably larger deck to offer customers more outdoor dining space.

The lower level commercial space would also have about 4,000 square feet, which could be enough space for a fourth commercial tenant. The second, smaller building would

be about 600 square feet, probably sufficient for one water sports tenant.

Tenants will have the opportunity to make (and pay for) improvements according to their needs and resources.

Between six and 16 underground parking spaces would be provided, depending on costs and whether extensive rock blasting would have to be done. Hertel thinks the larger number of space is necessary; Marrett prefers fewer.

“There will be compromises about many things,” notes Hertel, who prefers a more traditional, “working port” feel-ing for the new buildings, rather than the sleek modern design presented at the community meeting.

“We still have to look at the total costs and determine whether we have to scale back the high-end design we’ve been presented,” he said.

Commission Chairman Mike Ahrenius said his three prime directives were “pedestrian access to the whole prop-erty, provision of views and view corridors for all concerned and functional, customer-friendly commercial spaces and access on the lower level.”

All three commissioners want to see forward progress soon.

“I’d like to see some work on the grounds by late spring, vetting of contractors this summer and permits approved by September so construction can start in early Fall,” Hertel said.

David L. KimpleDavid L. Kimple, 82, of

Marysville, Wash. passed away peacefully Feb. 9, 2014.

Formally of Oak Harbor, Wash., he retired as fire captain from NAS Whidbey Island. He spent many years after retirement traveling, playing golf, being involved with friends, family and grandchildren's activities at a leisurely pace. Dad served our country in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War. He was also an active member of NARFE prior to moving to Marysville.

Our dad accomplished many things in his life, but his biggest and best accom-plishment was being a lov-ing husband, father, grand-father, great grandfather and friend.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 54 years, Darlene, just last month, in January 2014. As dad was receiving his heavenly

wings, we could hear mom say, “I’ve been waiting for you, Davey"

He is survived by his daughters Gaye (Ken) Holdaas and Joy (Mike) Raney. Grandson SSG Matthew (Kirstine) Newton, granddaughters Melissa Newton, Meagan (Logan) Brown, great grandchildren Malia, Jadeiana, Colton, and a fourth baby due in August 2014. He is also survived by his last sibling, his loving brother and fishing buddy, Dillon (Jean) Kimple of Alaska.

A family service is planned.

We would also like to give a special "Thank You" to the wonderful nurses, nursing assistants and housekeep-ing staff at Merry Haven in Snohomish, Wash., where our mom and dad spent their last two months together. They truly cared for our parents.

Lilies on the LandFebruary 28, March 1, 2, 6-9 • San Juan Community Theatre

Fifth-generation islander and aviator extraordinaire Denny Martel died Sunday, Feb. 16.

He was 72.Martel, owner and operator of San Juan

Island-based Martel Well Drilling, founded 50 years ago by his father, Edward, was an accomplished aviator, in addition to being a highly regarded professional in his field, renowned and celebrated for small aircraft “short take offs.”

He was known by family and friends as a “Jack of All Trades.”

“He was pilot and a very, very good pilot, a bit of a daredevil you might say,” said Kitty Roberts, a longtime family friend. “But he knew what he was doing, that's for sure.”

According to Charlie Silverman of the San Juan County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, which doubles as county coroner, Martel was dead at the scene and lying near his pickup when a family member discov-ered his body Sunday evening.

The cause of death will be categorized as unknown natural causes and no autopsy is planned, Silverman said.

“It looks as if he went out to cut some wood, something that he liked to do, and suffered a fatal medical event,” he said.

Martel is the father of two adult children, Tara and Justin, and several grandchildren.

the new owners’ intent to fix up the downstairs com-mercial spaces, although some say they’re concerned that lease costs may rise.

One long-term ten-ant, Vinnie Vela, owner of Cousin Vinnie’s pizza and coffee shop, has received a letter from Friday Harbor attorney Stephanie Johnson O’Day informing Vela that

food services will not be offered in the building and that he should prepare to move. Vela, a 12-year ten-ant of the mall but currently without a lease, has been offered relocation assis-tance by both Boden and the Torkingtons, he said.

Before reselling the prop-erty to the Torkingtons, Boden said he had been negotiating with local restaurant owner John Sable, owner of Rocky Bay Restaurant, to open a

restaurant in the upstairs space. That project has now been shelved, but Boden and Sable are reportedly negotiating a lease to oper-ate a restaurant across First Street from the courthouse in the Cannery House building.

Fine at Mar Vista more like a farce

When you learn that the people who clearcut 80 trees and several acres of shrubs at Mar Vista were only slapped on the wrist with a $3,000 fine you get angry.

When you get angry you decide to go swim with the orcas;

When you swim with the orcas you get hyperthermia;

When you get hyperther-mia they take you to Peace Health;

When you go to Peace Health you want to die;

When you want to die, at Peace Health, they refuse your end of life request;

When Peace Health won’t let you die you open a Subway sandwich shop on Spring Street;

When you open a Subway on Spring Street islanders run you out of town on a rail;

Don’t get run out of town on a rail. Demand that sub-stantial fines and penalties’ for such egregious viola-tions of shoreline regula-tions be enacted.

Allegiance not included in rental

Due to the use of some potentially ambiguous wording, a recent letter in the Journal could be mis-read as implying that the Ag Guild took a position in the public debate surrounding the rental of another build-ing in the Town of Friday Harbor by the Department

of Homeland Security.To set the record straight,

the Ag Guild has not taken any position in this debate.

It should also be noted that, when renting Brickworks for community use, the Ag Guild maintains a general policy of non-dis-crimination. Accordingly, the renting of the facility to any individual or organiza-tion should not be regarded in any way as the Ag Guild endorsing either the event itself or the mission or goals of the party organizing the event.

We trust this clarifies any potential mispercep-tion, but should there be any related concerns among your readership, may we suggest they be communi-cated to us directly at [email protected].

Shame on Journal,letter writer, too

It is disappointing that the Journal provided the space and the title: GSA’s bureaucratic blunder that was as full of errors of omis-sion as that “Open Letter to Congressman Larson,” (pg. 6, Feb. 19).

The executive order in question relating to space acquisition states in Section 1-103 that:

Except where such selec-tion is otherwise prohib-ited, the process for meet-ing Federal space needs in urban areas shall give first consideration to a central-ized community business area and adjacent areas of similar character, including other specific areas which may be recommended by local officials.

Section 1-105(c) further

states that one of the con-siderations is: Acquisition or utilization of existing pri-vately owned facilities.

In journalism, a half truth is as good as a lie. The Journal and Ms. Hanson should be ashamed.

Not just in ‘fine print’, in bold too

Those who read Sarah Hanson’s column in last week’s Journal (“Right there in the fine print; GSA’s bureaucratic blunder”) will be surprised to hear that the General Services Administration (GSA) prides itself on its transpar-ency.

The GSA devotes an entire web-page (www.gsa.gov/portal/category/26751) to demonstrating their adherence to the Open Government Initiative of 2011, a multilateral interna-tional initiative the United States is taking part in.

Visitors to the site will find the following text promi-nently displayed: “President Obama’s Open Government Directive instructs all fed-eral agencies to actively open their operations to the public. GSA’s efforts are rooted in three principles at the heart of the directive: Transparency, Participation, and Collaboration.”

Yeah, I know. Let that quote sink in. In no way does it resemble the pro-curement of Customs offic-es in Friday Harbor.

There were no public meetings or announce-ments before the lease was signed or communication with town officials. What opportunities existed for “participation and collabo-

ration?”Despite numerous citizen

attempts to communicate, directly and through U.S. Representative Rick Larsen, islanders have had only one in-person contact with the GSA, and it wasn’t pretty.

At the public meeting with Customs officials on Nov. 25, a senior GSA rep-resentative, turned the issue around saying that “the community should have known” about the procure-ment process for Customs offices, when earlier in the meeting, the representa-tive offered that GSA has the option of using a public process, but that it was not chosen in Friday Harbor.

Perhaps some old hats in the GSA are used to behaving in a manner in which citizen input is either not solicited or complete-ly overlooked since the Government Openness Initiative is only three years old. However, such a lack of transparency and respon-siveness from a government agency is completely out of

step with the initiative. It may even constitute a

violation of federal law, as Ms. Hanson observed last week.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, the Port of Friday Harbor receives my commendation for the open process they have chosen for their proposed building project. The Port Commission has involved citizens extensively, and respectfully valued their input at every step. The GSA could learn a few things from their example.

It is up to us as citizens of this beautiful island to hold government officials to their own principles and regulations. Let’s continue to stand up and communicate how unsettled we feel with the behavior of the General Services Administration.

Anyone concerned please contact the head administrator for Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies at the General Services Administration, David L. McClure; (202)

501-0705, or email him at [email protected].

Kudos for process, plan needs work

I commend the Port Commission of Friday Harbor for holding open meetings on the Waterfront Master Plan.

Their active calls for pub-lic participation constitute exactly the kind of gover-nance that islanders expect. As we have learned very painfully in the last few months, not all government agencies take appropriate steps to gather and consider citizen input.

My heartfelt grati-tude extends to the Port Commission for the care that they are taking with this process. Indeed, the choices they make now will inform the look and feel of our town for generations to come.

By North Kitsap Herald editorial boardSpecial to the Journal

Water samples at more than 80 public beaches in the Puget Sound region, including Kitsap County, show fecal coliform bacteria levels that exceed

levels considered to be safe. Harmful bacteria pollute fish, shellfish, and other food harvested from our waters. They make our beaches inaccessible for recreational use.

Federal, tribal, state and local governments are working to identify and correct pollution sources that harm our waters and marine life. Creosoted pilings are being removed. Changes in agricultural practices are keeping ag waste from streams. Rain gardens, buffers and permeable road surfaces are stemming the tide of tainted storm water going into the sea. Property owners are more closely monitoring their sep-tic systems to prevent leaching into public waters.

There is another pollution source – a big one – that hasn’t been addressed until now: Wastewater from boats and ships.

Under current federal regulations, treated wastewater may be discharged from a ship or boat anywhere in Puget Sound, and untreated wastewater may be discharged as long as the boat is more than three miles from shore. (Marine sanitation devices that grind up waste and add disinfectant before discharging into marine waters are considered treat-ment, but these systems do not meet state standards for protecting water quality and public health, according to the Department of Ecology).

Ecology, the Department of Health and the Puget Sound Partnership have drafted a proposal to make Puget Sound a No Discharge Zone and are submitting it as a draft petition to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

If established, no boat — whether a cruise ship, freighter or pleasure craft — could discharge anywhere within the designated zone. All boats and ships would have to store

their sewage until they could safely dispose of it at an onshore or mobile pumpout facility, or hold it until it can be discharged in the open ocean beyond three miles from shore.

The proposed zone extends from Puget Sound, including Lake Union and Lake Washington, north to the 49th parallel, including the San Juan Islands, and west to New Dungeness

Lighthouse.More than 80 No Discharge Zones have been established

in 26 states; there are currently no NDZs in Washington state. The No Discharge Zone proposal is part of the state Puget Sound Partnership’s Action Agenda to restore and protect the health of our inland marine waters. The No Discharge Zone would require a change in practices by those on the water, but it’s a change from which we, and future generations, will benefit.

“When we visit a beach, go fishing or dig for clams, we expect the water to be clean,” Puget Sound Partnership deputy director Marc Daily said in a press release. “We must eliminate sources of untreated human waste being dumped into our waterways to ensure that. As called out in the Puget Sound Action Agenda, a No Discharge Zone is an impor-tant tool to achieving this.”

To see a map of the No Discharge Zone, and review and comment on the proposal, go to www.ecy.wa.gov/pro-grams/wq/nonpoint/CleanBoating/nodischargezone.html. Comment deadline is April 21.

PUBLIC MEETINGS

By Jan MurphySpecial to the Journal

We have a million reasons to feel fortunate to live here: gor-geous waterways and scenery,

beautiful trails, and a wonderful, caring community to name just a few.

The next time you count your San Juan Island blessings, please consider including our island animal shelter, The Animal Protection Society, Friday Harbor.

I’m lucky enough to be an employee of the shelter, so I get to see first-hand the many ways our shelter helps home-less animals and the community as a whole.

Being a small shelter, in a small community affords us opportunities not common in larger shelters that serve cities and counties much larger than ours. Dogs relinquished to our shelter rarely spend more than two or three weeks here before being adopted and cats tend to be adopted within six to eight months. We are able and happy to provide a safe haven for pets when their elderly owners can no lon-ger care for them.

Animals in our care get lots of atten-tion and love, not to mention nutri-

tious food and lots of exercise. The only reason we ever have to euthanize an animal is due to illness.

We are in a unique position to help shelters and private rescue groups from off-island when space permits and we do so often. When helping mainland shelters and rescue groups, I am always struck by how “disposable” pets seem to be for much of the gen-eral population.

Thankfully, we don’t see it often here, but larger animal shelters are continually asked to accept animals for a variety of reasons, including the following:

• We are moving and we can't take our dog (or cat). (Might you con-sider moving to a place where you are allowed to keep your pets?)

• The dog got bigger than we thought it would. (How big did you think a Labrador Retriever would get?)

• We don't have time for her. (Really?

I work a 10-hour day and still have time for my three dogs and six cats!)

• She’s tearing up our yard. (How about bringing her inside, making her a part of your family or taking her for a walk?)

• Our cat just had kittens and we can’t keep them. (Failure to spay or neuter your family pet is the most irresponsible thing a pet owner can do. If you aren’t prepared to do so, you should reconsider owning a pet.)

Between 9 and 11 million pets die every year in animal shelters in the U.S. The great tragedy of this is that it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s up to us—those of us who choose to include pets as part of our family, to create a new and better reality for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Pet ownership is truly a privilege and not a right. Please remember when adding a pet to your family that you are making a lifetime commitment to this pet.

While there are legitimate reasons to relinquish a pet to an animal shelter, they are few and far between in my opinion. If you are unable to promise a pet a lifetime of safety, love and well-being—please reconsider getting one.

As I See It

Ten million pets die each year in animal shelters; it doesn’t have to be that way

Lifetime commitment; are you ready?

I was not able to attend the February 6th meet-ing because I have regu-lar commitments on Thursday evenings. So I would like to offer feed-back about the proposed Master Plan in this public forum.

I have reviewed the 78-page document that describes the Waterfront Master Plan. I am impressed by its careful consideration of environ-mental impacts. I trust that as the plan evolves, it will get even better.

I have one major objec-tion to the Master Plan as presented: the aesthetic is quite Space Age. That doesn’t fit our culture.

Friday Harbor is a 100-year-old seaside vil-lage, not a research hub for

NASA. I would like to see fewer “cold steel rails” and more wood (sustainably harvested).

A warmer feel will be better for tourists and locals alike. Folks come up here to escape the city. If we offer a modernist, urban landscape, tourists will be more likely to stay in Seattle or visit Lopez instead.

Fortunately, there are still lots of opportunities to change the look and feel of the buildings. I sug-gest that the Port actively solicit feedback from our Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB) and from local contrac-tors who are particularly skilled in the old style. I believe that they will do just that.

Seattle Optometrist Helps LEGALLY BLIND to See!

Patient Driving with Bioptic Telescopic Glasses

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

With interest-free payment options this technology is now more affordable than ever. “Definitely worth the $2150 cost. I should have come sooner,” said Dr. Cusic’s patient. For more information and a FREE telephone consultation, Call Today: 877-823-2020

OPALCO invests to reduce energy costs— Submitted by Orcas Power & Light Cooperative

OPALCO recently announced a 6 percent rate increase beginning in March. What can we do to keep member costs down?

Energy efficiency and conservation activities and gains are key tools for minimizing kWh usage and helping mem-bers to control their utility bills. Every little bit helps: the Northwest Power and Conservation Council states: “Nearly 60 percent of the region’s new demand for electricity over the next five years, and 85 percent over the next 20 years, could be met with energy efficiency.”

To expand our reach, OPALCO has awarded a matching grant to the San Juan Islands Conservation District for their leadership in promoting energy efficiency, conservation and renewable energy programs. The Conservation District will partner with local non-profits to achieve a range of projects beyond OPALCO’s current offerings to: retrofit San Juan County homes for greater energy efficiency, pilot community solar projects and develop additional education and outreach efforts.

The Conservation District will serve as an umbrella organization to coordinate the efforts of other nonprofits, including the Islands Energy Coalition, Island Stewards and the Opportunity Council. Collectively, they have already

secured matching funds for the $150,000 awarded by OPALCO.

“We are excited to work with OPALCO on this ini-tiative,” said Linda Lyshall, District Manager, San Juan Islands Conservation District. “Through our partnership, we intend to maximize efficiency and conservation gains to slow increases on utility bills, reduce the carbon footprint of the county and serve as a model for other small, rural communities in Washington and elsewhere. This project fits well with the conservation district’s long-term goals to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency through-out San Juan County.”

OPALCO’s Energy Services department has executed a successful Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) rebate program to date, issuing a total of $685,328 in rebates to members and reporting kWh savings of 2,714,894 during the period 2012-2013. Beyond the incentives, these effi-ciency gains equate to kWh savings far into the future as the measures implemented improve our housing stock.

“If this collaborative effort demonstrates success by matching—or better—the kWh savings of the last rate period (above),” said Randy J. Cornelius, OPALCO general manager, “BPA has assured us a zero load growth forecast on our 2015-2016 rate case – which would remove the prospect of Tier II (market rate) power purchases for that period. We have great expectations for what we can achieve by working together.”

Projects already underway include home energy retrofits and subsidized low-income weatherization, in partnership with the Opportunity Council.

Upcoming events and activities include: Energy Fairs on Lopez, Orcas, and San Juan islands, in May and June. Includes Solar Home Tours, efficiency and conserva-tion workshops, prizes and more; Community Solar pilot launching this spring; Youth Corps community energy efficiency project this summer.

For more information about these projects, or to find out how you can participate, call the conservation district office, 378-6621, or visit www.sanjuanislandscd.org.

As World War II waged across the landscape of Europe, a different but equally important cam-paign was being fought back in the fields and

countryside of Great Britain. Made up mostly of young women, the Women’s

Land Army struggled to keep the nation fed while the majority of its men were off at war. It wasn’t easy, as

the so-called “Forgotten Army” endured endless hours of backbreaking work and spartan hard-

ships, contending at the same time with the pres-sures of war, in order to complete its mission.

Doesn’t sound familiar? Well, it is known as the “forgotten army,” after all. Still, the

depth of this under-appreciated story will spring to life as San Juan Community

Theatre presents “Lilies of the Land,” a dramatic and historical portrait of

that overlooked and forgotten army. The two-week run of performances,

seven shows in all, also marks the directorial debut on the theatre

main stage for veteran actor/director Julie Laidlaw (On

Book! Readers Theatre, Playwrights Festival).

“There was s omet h ing

about the e n e r g y re qu i re d by these

women to do their part

for the war that

s t r u c k me as

important and moving,” Laidlaw said. “It wasn’t just Great Britain, there were land armies in the U.S., New Zealand and Australia too.”

Based on some 150 letters and interviews with original “land girls,” the play traces the personal journey of four members of the Women’s Land corps, played by stalwart thespians Patti Bair, Cori Morrell, Pat Rishel and Joy Van Camp. Part memoir, part musi-cal, part period piece, the per-formance features WWII-era costumes and special effects, and, with nine different songs, including Silent Night, in German, Italian and English, showcases the vocal talents of its vet-eran cast.

“I think it’s kind of a neat story to tell,” Bair said. “It’s like ‘Rosie the Riveter’ goes to the farm. And were singing nine songs, all of them a cappella.”

Like the land army itself, Laidlaw and crew face challenges of their own in bringing the performance to the stage. Originally created in 2001 by “Lions part”, a group of British like-minded performers, the play itself has been staged relatively few times and it features evenly-traded mono-logues by the four main characters that woven together lay the track that moves the narrative along.

But like the women of the Forgotten Army, it’s a safe bet that director, cast and crew will rise to the challenge and deliver a win-ning performance.

The Olympics isn’t the only place gleaming with gold. In Friday Harbor, two high school students are sporting gold medals of their own—for art.

Friday Harbor High School seniors Alaina Scheffer and Ellery Von Dassow won top honors at the 2014 Western at Large Regional Scholastic Art & Writing Awards Competition, a juried competition featuring works of art by students from 10 western states, including California, Colorado, Oregon, Hawaii, and Washington.

Portfolios by Ellery and Alaina, each with eight works of art, were selected “Gold Key” winners at the regional competition. Nearly 900,000 works of art and writing have been judged in the competi-tion over the last five years alone. Only a small percentage receive Gold Key, Silver Key or Honorable Mention designation.

Two of only five Gold Key win-ners, Alaina and Ellery’s portfolios advance to the national competition (results are expected online by March 17). Ellery also earned a Gold Key for a drawing, “But On Paper,

Ma’am,” and Silver Key for a drawing entitled “Arrested.” Alaina earned Honorable Mention for two draw-ings and a painting entitled “Why?” as well.

“This is a tremendous honor and recognition of the hard work and dedication of our students,” art instructor Andy Anderson said.

Anderson credits groups like Island Museum of Art, parent-teacher associations, the state arts commission and private donors for help-ing to keep the school art program alive at a time when public school districts are hard-pressed to pay for such programs.

The two AP students join a growing list of award-win-ning Friday Harbor art students. Six AP students earned the highest possible score of “5” at the annual College Board AP Art program competition a year ago.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a firewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

Excessive exposure to The Journal has been linked to increased community engagement and

overall personal awesomeness.!FH falls in post-season play

Journal file photo C.J. Woods lines up a free-throw attempt in the Wolverines Feb. 5 win over Blaine.

With six seconds left to play and trailing by three, C.J. Woods three-point shot rattled the rim and bounced away from the basket, and with it went the Wolverines chance to advance in post-season play.

Friday Harbor (14-11) was eliminated from post-season play in the opening round of the 1A Tri-District tourna-ment, falling 46-43 to University Prep, Feb. 19, on Prep’s home court. The Wolverines clinched Tri-District berth with a 64-48 victory on Valentine’s Day at home over South Whidbey. They lost to No. 1 seed Lynden Christian in the District 1 consolation final the following day, setting up a clash against University Prep at Tri-Districts. The defeat at the hands of University Prep was the second of the sea-son for Friday Harbor, by a combined margin of just eight points.

The Wolverines finished the 2013-14 season by win-ning 8 of their final 10 regular season games, followed by a pair of post-season wins at home. At 7-0, Friday Harbor emerged undefeated in Northwest 1A/2B League competi-tion and claimed its second-straight league title.
