When Mara William’s daughter was bitten by a tick 40 years ago on Orcas, doctors said it could not be transmitting Lyme disease. Williams, a nurse practitioner, is now convinced her daughter has Lyme disease despite a lack of offi-cial reports of the disease in San Juan County.

“Washington state has Lyme, and many in the islands are sick,” she said.

Williams, a former Orcas resi-dent, is coming to the island for a talk about Lyme disease at the Orcas Food Co-op on May 14 at 5:30 p.m. Her talk coincides with Lyme Disease Awareness Month this May.

She has spent more than six years working with Lyme dis-ease issues and is the author of “Nature’s Dirty Needle” about chronic Lyme disease and how to get the help to feel better. Where is Lyme?

Lyme is transmitted through the bite of a tick infected with a bacterium called Borrelia burg-dorferi, which is contracted from the tick from biting infected ani-mals, like deer and mice.

The year 2015 marks the 50th Anniversary of the beginning of the Vietnam War.

Moreover, 2015 has been designated as a time to salute Vietnam veterans. Because of the controversy surround-ing the War many Vietnam veterans have been ignored and their service forgotten.

In keeping with this nationwide rec-ognition, there will be a presentation dedicating an aviation artifact, an A-6 Intruder windscreen, in memory of Lieutenant James “Kelly” Patterson, U.S. Navy, who, after 48 years, remains missing in action (MIA) somewhere

in North Vietnam. Friend and squad-ron mate of Kelly’s, Dave Cable, who witnessed Kelly being shot down by a surface to air missile, will make a presentation at the American Legion Tuesday, May 19, beginning at noon, dedicating the Intruder windscreen in tribute to Lt. Patterson.

Following the presentation at the Legion, the windscreen will be hung in Ernie’s Cafe at the Port of Friday Harbor Airport at about 1 p.m. Growler aircraft stationed at NAS Whidbey will provide a Fly By at 1:15 p.m. in tribute as well. All ares encour-aged to attend.

The art enrichment program at Friday Harbor Elementary School is alive and well, and thanks to donations by San Juan Islands Museum of Art, art at the middle school is making strides as well.

This year, in addition to support for art in the elementary school, IMA donated $13,300 toward the cost of a middle school art instructor for the 2015-16 school year. The annu-al donation and is intended to help bridge the gap between elementary school AEP program and the award-winning art program at Friday Harbor High School.

“The San Juan Island School District is very grateful and would like to formally thank the San Juan Islands Museum of Art for their annual and highly significant donation in support of public school art,” school district Superintendent Rick Thompson said.

For the last five years IMA has administered the elemen-

tary school Art Enrichment Program that provides a variety of artistic learning opportunities for the youngest students in the district. This program is made possible through local partnerships that include the school district, Washington State Arts Commission, San Juan Island Community Foundation, San Juan Public Schools Foundation, local PTA organizations and private donors.

The IMA Board of Directors looks forward to a time when art is fully funded by the state as essential curriculum for the well-rounded student. Full funding of education will strengthen life-long opportunities for public school stu-dents by providing a basic education that includes the arts,

STEM, health, and humanities, IMA’s board of directors said in a press release about its recent donation.

Proudly serving Whatcom, Skagit, Island & San Juan Counties

Journal staff reportRetired attorney Barbara Sharp is out of the gate in the

race.A former staff attorney with the Washington state attor-

ney general’s office, Sharp last week became the second can-didate to announce an election bid for the San Juan Island hospital district commission.

In a May 5 press release, Sharp said she is seeking a seat on the commission to ensure that the community has access to the best possible health care, and that it is delivered in an efficient manner and in compliance with state law.

“We are fortunate to have a dedicated staff of EMTs who respond quickly to islanders’ needs, as well as access to additional services such as the emergency room and advanced diagnostics at Peace Island Medical Center,” Sharp said in a prepared statement. “As a commissioner on the San Juan County Public Hospital District, I will work to ensure that our health care delivery system operates in full compliance with state law.”

Sharp said she backs full disclosure and transparency of taxes generated by the district and disbursed to Peace Island Medical Center.

Three positions on the five-person commission will be up for election in November. A volunteer panel with over-sight of both the hospital district and San Juan EMS, and over the tax revenues and budget of each, district commis-sioners serve six-year staggered terms in office. The com-mission meets once a month, and in special session.

The five-day period for candidates to officially file for the election November began Monday, May 11. The com-mission posts up for election are those held by incumbents Lenore Bayuk, Mike Taylor and Rosanna O’Donnell (go to www.sanjuanjournal.com for updated information about candidate filings).

Sharp will be joined in the race by former medical indus-try executive Bill Williams, who last week announced a bid for the hospital board as well. Monica Harrington, a for-mer technology executive turned patient-rights advocate, announced her candidacy for the hospital board in April.

Williams laid out a four-pronged campaign platform in a May 6 candidate announcement.

“Available. Accessible. Of high quality, and reasonably priced.”

A 15-year resident of San Juan Island and owner/operator of an island-based custom-knife manufactur-ing business, Williams spent 30 years managing hospitals, medical and dental clin-ics, and medical insurance companies, in civilian and military settings, before relo-

cating to San Juan. He earned a bachelor of science at University of Oregon and masters degree in health admin-istration at Baylor University.

During her tenure with the state attorney general, Sharp, assigned to the Bellingham regional office, represented the Department of Social and Health Services/Child Protective Services in cases involving child abuse and neglect in San Juan, Skagit and Whatcom counties.

A graduate of the University of Miami (Ohio) and the BYU Law School, she served as a judicial clerk in the a Utah appellate court and a year later joined Workers’ Compensation Fund of Utah as a staff attorney.

A San Juan Island property owners since 1978, Sharp became a full-time resident of San Juan in 2002. A board member of Friends of the Library and League of Women Voters, she is also a self-described “worker bee” for the local chapter of Soroptimist International, and is a mem-ber of a state League of Women Voters committee that has been cataloguing and studying hospital mergers in Washington state.

“My work and volunteer experience has prepared me well to serve on the pub-lic hospital district board,” Sharp said.

After a 10-plus-year tenure as top boss of San Juan EMS, Chief Jim Cole is stepping down.

His last day on the job is June 5. Cole will be joining the PeaceHealth as coordi-nator of EMS service for its Oregon West Network fol-lowing his departure from San Juan EMS.

“I am honored to have served this community alongside the professional volunteers and staff of San Juan Island EMS,” Cole

said in a pre-p a r e d s t a t e -m e n t distrib-uted at a April 22 meeting of the hospital district commission.

The commission will form a committee as the first step in the search for a new chief.

Host Ken Crawbuck presents Gunned Down: The Power of the NRA. This PBS documentary follows the history of the NRA, "growing from a group of gun enthusiasts … to a powerful

lobbying force that has … succeeded in defeating gun control legislation.”

TreatmentWhile the CDC states that 70 to 80 percent of infected

persons will experience a bull’s eye rash, the International Lyme Disease and Associated Diseases Society states that only 50 percent of Lyme positive patients see the tale-tell rash. What makes the topic of diagnosis more perplexing is that testing for the disease often provides false negatives. Doctors recommend several tests be done in tandem for accuracy.

According to Mayo Clinic, because ticks are in contact with many other animals they may be spreading multiple diseases with one bite. The other complication is that Lyme can often act like other diseases.

“Lyme is called the great imitator … Any autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia are suspicious for underlying chronic infection, and espe-cially Lyme,” said Williams.

Studies show that 10 to 20 percent of people with Lyme who are treated

with antibiotics have symp-toms of fatigue, pain, or joint and muscle aches. In some cases, these can last for more than six months. Williams says acute infection is easier to treat, and the only way to prevent chronic infection and potential disability.Prevention

According to Williams, the best way to avoid the disease is to steer clear of tick-infested areas, like leaf piles, long grass, stumps or fallen logs. If you are in the outdoors wear long pants tucked into socks, and make sure to check for ticks at the end of the day. The Lyme Disease Association recommends that if you do find a tick, remove it with tweezers as straight out of the skin as possible. Save the tick and call a doctor.

“Personal prevention is the first defense from contracting Lyme Disease,” Williams writes on her website.

By Shona AitkenSpecial to the Journal

You may not see them, but there are many baby wild animals living nearby at this time of year.

There may be a nest full of tiny songbirds in the bushes in your yard, young owls or woodpeckers in a hole in a big tree in the woods behind your house, ducklings following mom through the rushes at the edge of your pond or a tiny fawn lying quietly in the grass in your pasture.

Spring and early summer is baby season for wild creatures and these newly born or hatched young-sters are very vulnerable. They are not as mobile as adult animals and not as wary as their parents, so they are easily injured by our pets, cars, or the work we do around our house and gardens.

Wild parents are also more vulnerable at this time of year because they are too busy trying to feed and care for their youngsters to pay full attention to their own safety. A mother duck or mother otter leading her young across a road moves more slowly and is more likely to be hit by a car. A mother raccoon with four kits to shep-herd won’t be able to climb a tree as quickly to escape from a dog.

If these mother animals are killed or injured, their youngster are unlikely to survive on their

own. We can all help reduce our impacts on wild-life during the summer “Baby Season: by:

• Keeping dogs under control and cats indoors.• Postponing work such as tree felling and

brush clearing till fall to avoid destroying nests while young birds and mammals are in residence.

• Taking care when mowing or weed-wacking to avoid injuring young animals in a nest in the grass, or female birds sitting on eggs.

• Driving carefully and looking out for young animals following its mother across the road.

At Wolf Hollow, we care for many orphaned and injured baby wild animals each summer, but we don’t want to “kidnap” young creatures that don’t really need our help.

Every year, well-meaning people arrive at our door or at a vet clinic with a tiny fawn in their arms because they didn’t see its mother nearby. What they don’t realize is that a little fawn lying curled up alone in the grass is doing exactly what it should be.

The fawn isn’t strong enough to follow mom through the woods, so she leaves it in a quiet, sheltered spot for up to 6-8 hours before coming back to feed it. Its best protection is to lie still, camouflaged by its spotted coat, and wait for mom to return.

If you see a young wild animal that

you think needs help please call Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehab Center, 360-378-5000. We will be glad to discuss the situation with you and help decide if the little creature needs help or is doing just fine on its own.

(For more information about the natural behavior of different local wild baby animals, visit our web site www.wolfhollowwildlife.org/found-an-animal.)

Young, wild & vulnerable: baby season is here

In focus: ‘advanced directives’Ross Fewing, direc-

tor of the Center for Mission at PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center in Bellingham, will discuss “Advance Directives for End-of-Life Care” in a free, public education program hosted by Peace Island Medical Center, Wednesday, May 20, 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

The talk is part of the “Fireside Chats” series offered by PeaceHealth’s “Healthy You” program.

Fewing’s talk will cover: the importance of docu-menting your wishes for medical care in the event you are incapacitated and unable to express them at the time of care, how to make your wishes known to family, friends, and health care providers, and durable

power of attorney for health care. As director of the Center for Mission, Fewing has oversight for clinical

ethics consultations and the medical center’s ethics com-mittee, mission integration, and spiritual care.

Blessed by Food Bank supporters

The Friday Harbor Food Bank would like to extend a huge thank-you to our volunteers who contribute countless hours of service.

We’d also like to acknowl-edge and thank the amaz-ing people and businesses that have given so much this year, for many years, and in so many ways:

The Mullis Community Senor Center for the use of its property. Friday Harbor Freight for the monthly commodities pick-up. Valmark, Inc. dba Kings’ Market and Marketplace Foods for their very gener-ous contributions through-out the year. Bakery San Juan for various bakery products, especially bread;

San Juan Pasta Company for noodles and ravioli. Heuristic Enterprises for bread, rolls and bagels. Master Gardeners for year-round fresh produce.

Miller Drywall, Mike Stelzner, Guard Electric, Dave Prager, Stegman Painting, and Zehner Construction for their help with our recent facility remodel.

The Sign Company for their help with our new sign. Printonyx for their help and generosity with our annual mailing. St. David Episcopal Church congregation for their steadfast support. Local farmers, gardeners and fishermen for their con-tinuing generosity.

Many organizations for sponsoring food drives throughout the year. Community members who

continually and generously contribute both money and food.

The Friday Harbor Food Bank is a very successful operation, made possible through the efforts and sup-port of the whole commu-nity. Thank you all.

BOARD OF DIRECTORSFH Food Bank

Hopes on high for change at Co-op

At the OPALCO election this year, we saw a record voter turnout, 24 percent compared to around 15 per-cent in the past years.

Thank you all who have taken the time to vote. Every vote counts, and record voter-turnout means we members-owners are paying more attention to the business of our Co-op. 

I was pleasantly surprised by the board election results. Winnie Adams got the most votes (1,643) followed by OPALCO former manag-er  Randy Cornelius (1,597 votes). Incumbent  Chris Thomerson was unseat-ed, with 330 votes behind Cornelius. 

Having served for nine years on OPALCO Board, Chris played a strong role in leading OPALCO into the era of broadband promi-nence. His departure from the board will be a loss to OPALCO in terms of his intellectual contribution.

However, the election results indicate that there are other attributes that members-owners value as equally important, if not more.

While financial expertise may not be Winnie’s stron-gest point, we admire her courage to attend the can-didates forums and to lis-

ten to members’ grievances and answer questions about the rates and OPALCO’s involvement broadband business. Her willingness to not only listen to, but also hear us, and her ability to be responsive, not defensive–“we will have to re-examine the base rate issues”—mean a lot to us members and was like a breath of fresh air.

For several of us, the votes for Randy, who has long experience in the elec-trical distribution manage-ment, signify our support for making the electrical business OPALCO’s prima-ry goal.

Broadband is a great thing to have and I am happy for the quarter or third of the OPALCO membership who will be able to afford it, but let’s find the right balance between electricity and broadband, so the lat-ter does not happen at the expense of the former or electricity users.

Most members-owners probably wish to be treat-ed not as a disturbance or annoyance to be managed, educated or controlled, but as dialogue partners and co-decision makers.

A basic foundation of a co-op is mutual respect and willingness to listen to and understand each other. With a change in the lead-ership, I hope the board will make OPALCO a true co-op, in name and in spirit.

CHOM GRACEANLopez Island

Assassins fueled by contradiction

Islam prohibits Muhammad’s image from being shown. This resulted in the Texas shooting.

The solution is in Quran

5:72 and 3:85: “Whoever associates partners with God, God has surely made Paradise forbidden to him, and his refuge is the Fire… And whoever seeks a reli-gion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him.”

The problem is that to join Islam, one must repeat: La ilah illa Allah, Muhammadur rasoolu Allah. Only repeating the first half will not allow a person to join Islam: “There is no god except the One God”. The initiate must also include a partner for God: “Muhammad is the prophet of God”. This initiation tra-dition requiring a partner for God while the Quran is condemning the same proves the religion to be schizophrenic.

A person that is only believing in and honoring God, without Muhammad as God’s partner, is labeled as an infidel and becomes the target of Islamic terror-ists. Unless this underlying contradiction in the religion is addressed and repaired,

the recent style of terrorism will continue to attack any-body supporting America’s first amendment’s freedom of religion and press.

MARK BILLINGTONSan Juan Island

Kudos for support from community

On behalf of Island Rec, San Juan Island School District, the Friday Harbor Athletic Association, and the other groups, organiza-tions, and individuals who have worked so hard to fund and develop the new community park on Carter Avenue, we want to thank our island voters for a fan-tastic turnout and a strong positive result in support of the recent Island Rec levy.

The overwhelmingly favorable vote will allow for six more years of a wide variety of recreational pro-gramming and the use of multiple parks for our active community members, solid-ify another six-year partner-

ship between Island Rec and the school district to sup-port high school sports, and provide for the operation and maintenance of the new community park, beginning in January of 2016.

Above all, this levy means more than funding. This levy means we can contin-ue working for a healthy, vibrant, and active commu-nity for all.

Whether you are looking for social activity or want to push your performance level; no matter which age or stage of life describes you; no matter what your income level; all of our San Juan citizens are included in the mission of Island Rec.

As the Island Rec board of commissioners, we are grateful for voter support, and are strengthened in our resolve to continue to be good stewards of your tax dollars.

By Elaine KendallSpecial to the Journal

We live in challenging times. Climate change is both disturbing and bewil-

dering. Yet, hope lies in the soil beneath our feet. According to the Rodale Institute, “… recent data from

farming systems and pasture trials around the globe show that we could sequester more than 100 percent of current annual CO2 emissions with a switch to widely available and inexpensive organic management practices.” Our local agriculture can be part of the solution.

Carbon has come to be seen as the villain, yet it is one of the basic building blocks of life. It becomes a pollutant only when it is in excess in the atmosphere or water. Scientists maintain that more carbon resides in soil than in the atmosphere and all plant life combined. Soil is the largest carbon sink available.

Through photosynthesis, plants draw carbon, in the form of CO2, out of the air to form sugar. The sugar that plants don’t need for growth is exuded through their roots to feed soil microorganisms.

In exchange, these organ-isms provide vital nutrients to the plant and use the plants sugars to create com-plex, stable forms of carbon. This flow of carbon from plant to soil microorganism has been termed “liquid carbon.”

Farming, as it is widely practiced today, is more part of the problem than the solution. Chemical fertilizer and pes-

ticides disrupt the flow of liquid carbon into the soil. Over fertilized plants stop pumping carbon into the soil to sup-port their microbial partners and pesticides kill microbes outright.

Many organic farming practices, such as cover-cropping, composting and rotational grazing, manage soils in a way that supports the soil microbiology. When soil is managed in this way, CO2 is converted from a greenhouse gas into a food-producing asset.

A shift to regenerative organic agriculture will not only help us sequester carbon, but also positively impact the nutrient density of food crops, the capacity of land to hold water and provide for ecosystem resilience. We can use the challenge of climate change as an opportunity to alter our course and move in a direction of hope and health.

Peter Donovan of the Soil Carbon Coalition will be speaking on Lopez and San Juan islands at the end of May. Contact the Conservation District, WSU Extension or the San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild for more information. Grow soil, regenerate the land and be a part of a solution for climate change.

Sound of freedom? It’s more like an assault on the whole archipelago

The EA18G Navy “Growler” jets made the front page of last week’s edition of the Journal, (Lawsuit aims at Growlers,” May 6, pg. 1).

When they are active, on San Juan Island, we hear a near constant rumble that is disquieting; unsettling to any living thing with the sensitivity to hear it. Though the planes are flying from Whidbey Island, their health damaging noise has also invad-ed my own home throughout the day and into the late evening.

So the people affected by these planes are not just those in the flight path.

This is the sound of the loudest warplanes in history, flying over island communities that have traded convenience and ease of traveling to live here, in a place that they love. The group called the Citizens of Ebeys Reserve has filed a lawsuit declar-ing the physical and mental health of those closest to the base is threatened; 130 decibels has been measured at homes.

This is noise at the “deafening” level, known as the threshold of pain, which can cause immediate ear damage. I urge people to support them. (http://citizensofebeysreserve.com/)

Ordinary citizens who create harmful noise would be legally regulated to keep the peace and quiet. Why not the military?

Surely, the Navy does not want to dominate and subjugate its own citizens or be considered a public nuisance.

Last week’s paper also featured an article about The San Juan Islands as a destination of choice, drawing visitors who spent more than $193 mil-lion in 2014 in the county, (“Dispatches from the Bureau,” pg. 7). And why do people want to come here? They certainly don’t travel hundreds or thou-sands of miles from home to hear the incessant reverberation of the Navy Growlers.

The sound of freedom includes the right to defend the values of your own home. This place is precious. The people who live here are important. They do not deserve to be bullied by health-damaging noise.

The Navy provides jobs to many on Whidbey. Yet here we have built an economy and way of life based on natural beauty and uncommon tranquility.

The din of the Growlers simply do not belong in a populated, complex area renowned for its scenic, cultural, recreational and natural values. The Navy’s number for noise complaints: (360) 257-6665.

More to carbon than climate change

Jack Lynch died at the age of 80 in his home at Horizon House in Seattle, on April 30, 2015, surrounded by the people who loved him, his wife and children. 

He was born John Irving Lynch, Jr., on Dec. 16, 1934. He is survived by his loving wife, Ingrid Lynch, and his children, John Christopher Lynch of Chapel Hill, N.C., Suzanne Siobhan Lynch of Virginia Beach, Va., Michael Allen Healy of Ann Arbor, Mich., and Maureen Anne Healy of Portland, Ore., as well as seven grandchildren. 

In his retirement, music was at the center of Jack’s life. He played the clarinet with the Eastside Symphony Orchestra, Seattle Philharmonic and Island Sinfonia in the San Juans. During his time with the Sinfonia he also took great joy in learning to conduct. From 2004 to 2011, he and Ingrid enjoyed their retirement on Shaw Island. During retirement Jack took great comfort in the compan-ionship of his feline friends Dierdre, Amigo and Hunter.    

While Jack was secular during much of his adult life, he returned to the Catholic faith of his youth while living on Shaw Island. There he enjoyed ser-vices at the Lady of Our Rock. 

Prior to moving to the San Juans,

Jack established his private practice, Redmond Pediatrics, where he worked for 29 years. In addition to serving his patients at Redmond Pediatrics, Jack made many contributions to young people. He served on the school board of the Lake Washington School District during the 1980s. He also coached boys’ soccer for many years.

Jack left his parents’ home at the age of 15 to attend the pioneering Early Admissions Program established by Robert Hutchins at the University of Chicago, from which he obtained his BA and BS degrees. He obtained his MD from the Medical College of Virginia at the University of Richmond and did his residency at Bethesda Medical Center. He joined the U.S. Navy and served as chief medical officer on the U.S. Sam Houston Polaris missile submarine.

Jack’s hobbies were many and var-ied. He thrived in the outdoors – ski-ing, backpacking and mountain climb-ing in the Cascades and kayaking in Puget Sound. Jack had a great mind

that he exercised regularly, playing bridge and teaching himself to read and write Gaelic. In his retirement he took up woodworking, and two of his beautiful totem poles stand on his property on Shaw Island.

Jack lived life with zeal and enriched the lives of the many people he touched during his journey.

Gifts in Jack’s honor may be made to the Eastside Symphony (www.eastsidesymphony.org) or the Seattle Humane Society (www.seattlehu-mane.org). Please sign his guestbook at funerals.coop.

Ragnar “Ray” J. Dahl passed away April 26, 2015 in Seattle, Washington.

He was born Aug. 21, 1920 in Starheim, Norway and a few years later immigrated to the United States with his parents Sam and Martha Dahl. They settled in the Greenwood-Ballard area of Seattle. When his new friends could not manage the Norwegian pronunciation of Ragnar, they called him Ray.

He was interested in forestry, fishing, hiking, and any-thing to do with the outdoors. In 1937, he graduated from Ballard High School and briefly attended the University of Washington. In 1940, he began working for the Boeing Company, and continued to do so for the next 45 years.

He married Bernice O’Brian in January 1944 and then served in the Army during World War II. He was stationed in Japan during the occupation. Ray and Bernice moved to the Shoreline area and raised four daughters: Kay, Andrea, Kristina, and Patricia.

In 1964, Ray and Bernice purchased San Juan Island property on Davison Head and built a cabin there. Ray spent much of his time fishing for salmon and in his later years celebrated his birthday there in August. It was a spe-cial place in his heart and became a treasured rest break during his working years.

Ray was an avid golfer from a very young age and worked as a caddy when he was a teenager. He golfed in the Boeing league for years and was especially proud of getting a hole in one in front of many witnesses in a 1974 competition.

He and his wife spent several weeks a year with his daughter Patricia in Hawaii. Bernice and Ray loved to travel to visit her relatives in France and his in Norway. They were always trying something new, whether it was learning to square dance or traveling to Hemet in a fifth-wheel.

Ray was a man of integrity. He believed in hard work and education. He was also lucky. Not only did he live to be 94, he won the Washington state Lottery in 1993. This allowed him to generously fund many of his interests: giving to Ballard High School scholarship fund, supporting both the Nordic Heritage Museum and The Museum of Flight.

Ray was extremely proud of all his daughters for all their varied accomplishments and supported all of their endeavors. He was preceded in death by his wife of 62 years, Bernice, and his older sister Agnes Hart. He is survived by his sister Myrtle Strom of Eugene, Ore. His four daughters: Kay Broten and Andrea Dahl of Seattle, Kristina Frances of Lake Tahoe, and Patricia Kesling-Wood of Honolulu, Hawaii.

Ray had seven grandchildren: Sean and Patrick Sullivan, Maureen Karl, Christopher Nappen, Beth LaFontaine, Andrew Kesling and Elizabeth Francis. He also had eight great-grandchildren.

Ray requested that there be no funeral or graveside service. A private family gathering will be held on San Juan Island in August, on what would have been his 95th birthday. At Ray’s request, portions of his ashes will be scat-tered off his dock in Neil Bay, in the waters off Waikiki, and interred next to Bernice’s grave at Evergreen Washelli.

Remembrances in his name may be made to The Museum of Flight, Ballard High School Scholarship fund or The Nordic Museum.

CalendarIn Focus: Why it’s so rare & what’s being done to restore golden paintbrushPAGE 10

By Scott RasmussenJournal editor

The title tune is altogether so familiar that it

might as well be a cultural icon, like shag carpet or Twinkies.

But, if you think you know the story of “9 to 5” because once upon a time you saw the movie, well, think again, you’re in for a surprise. Unless, that is, you’ve already seen the Broadway musical production of the same name. If so, well, then you’re in for an uproarious reunion.

Buckle in and be prepared to be transported back into the corporate workplace of the 1970s (typewriters, inter-office intercom and all), as Director Margaret Hall (Into the Woods, Hello, Dolly!) and a merry band of island actors present the four-time Tony Award nominated production of “9 to 5: The Musical.”

The production opens Friday, May 15, with 10 scheduled perfor-mances over the course of a three-week run. It’s bound to tickle your funny bone.

“I love the songs, love the story, love the characters… what isn’t there to love?” Hall said of the choice for the theatre spring show.

Times have indeed changed since Jane Fonda pulled together all the pieces that would wind up as a 1980 Hollywood blockbuster, a comedic portrayal starring Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin, Dabney Coleman and Fonda, which sets out to lampoon the pervasive sexist and chauvinistic workplace culture of that era. Fonda opted for a comedy rather than the dramatic production that she had originally intended, expecting that a little humor would broaden the story’s appeal.

The message came across loud and clear. The film generated $3.9 mil-lion in its opening week in the U.S. and stands as the 20th highest-gross-ing comedy film ever. It ranks No. 74 on the American Film Institute’s

“100 Funniest Movies” and pro-pelled Parton, who wrote the title

track, into the mainstream of American pop culture.

Parton went on to write more than a half-dozen new songs for the stage production, which debuted on Broadway in 2009. While the top-ics of gender and abuse of authority are satirized in the spotlight, Hall notes the story delivers a universal message as well.

“Those of us who were working at that time really did experience such circumstances,” Hall recalls. “In a very humorous way the story sends a message of the importance of taking control of your own life.”

Taking charge of the lead roles are a troupe of relative newcomers to the community theatre stage: Amy Hull as Violet Hall (Tomlin), Alicia Gislason as Doralee Rhodes (Parton), Raena Parsons as Judy Bernly (Fonda) join SJCT veteran Bo Turnage as Franklin Hart, Jr. (Coleman). Along with a cast of nearly 30, the leads will perform as many as 16 songs, including that familiar title song.

“There’s a number of people in the cast who we haven’t seen on our stage before,” Hall noted. “It’s really great to work with so much new talent and great talent.”

With a host of scene changes over the course of the two-act play, the production demands a great deal of technical support, Hall said, as well as a top-notch choreographer (Lisa Duke) and an ensemble of well-seasoned musicians (led by Jim Collado) to provide the musical’s melodic foundation.

While the workplace of the 1970s may be long gone, the tug-of-war between the sexes, whether at work or elsewhere, lives on. What better way to explore that never-ending ballad than with a musical?

In celebration of National Historic Preservation Month, San Juan Island

architectural historian Boyd Pratt will lead a explora-tion of the Town of Friday Harbor and offer insight into how the few and mod-est string of wood-framed buildings that once upon

a time lined Spring Street evolved into the downtown of fireproof masonry build-ing surrounding the neigh-borhoods that we know today.

The walk is Saturday, May 23, 1-4 p.m., and begins at Brickworks, 120 Nichols St., which will also be a focus of Pratt’s presentation.

The guided walk will cover about one mile of sidewalk and pavement, with modest upslope in grade. The route is wheel-chair accessible and dogs on leashes are welcome.

The walk, the next in the award-winning Know Your Island Walk series spon-sored by San Juan Island Trails Committee, will pro-ceed come rain or shine. Info, visit www.sanjuan-islandtrails.org.

The upcoming exhibit in the glass atrium of the San Juan Islands Museum of Art, “Liminal Currents: Exploration of an Empathic Umwelt,” will be designed and directed by local sculp-tor Matthew Gray Palmer, but visitors and volunteers are encouraged to help com-plete the project throughout its duration at IMA.

Visitors of the exhibit can write blessings, thoughts, wishes and prayers on “rib-bons” that will become part of the artwork.

To learn more about how to participate, Contact Diane Martindale, (360) 370-5814.

Ian Boyden will take the reins as executive director of San Juan Islands Museum of Art in mid-May. Meanwhile, Bobby Ryan is already settling in as San Juan Community Theatre’s new artistic director.

Director of the Sheehan Gallery at Walla Walla’s Whitman College for more than a decade, Boyden more recently has been artist-scholar in residence at Suzhou University.

He’ll take the leadership role at IMA just prior to the opening of a new exhibit, “Spineless,” which showcases the works of photographer Susan Middleton.

“I have been absolutely struck by the passion the com-munity has expressed for the arts, and I look forward to working together to growing IMA into an institution of the depth and breadth the work of this region so richly deserves,” Boyden said in a press release.

Charlie Bodenstab, president of IMA’s board of trustees, is stepping down as executive director and will continue in his role on the board trustees.

With degrees in art history from Wesleyan and Yale, Boyden has curated exhibitions from Oregon to China. A Pacific Northwest native and artist as well, Boyden’s paint-ings, installations and artist books have been shown and collected internationally, including a solo exhibition at the I.M. Pei-designed Suzhou Art Museum. Joining Boyden in Friday Harbor will his wife, author Jennifer Boyden, and daughter, Gavia.

Ryan takes theatre’s artistic helmActor, director and playwright, Bobby Ryan has joined

San Juan Community Theatre as artistic director.Ryan began his work at the Theatre May 4 while Susan

Williams finished up her final week (Williams resigned ear-lier this year, saying she was stepping down to focus more energy on family, painting, sculpting, acting and directing).

Ryan holds a masters degree in contemporary perfor-mance and most recently has been spending time between Portland and San Juan Island. He and husband, Tyler, own and operate Portland’s Lights Up! Productions, where Ryan has written, directed and produced original works for the stage. Both have been involved in Island Stage Left produc-tions over the past two years; Bobby starred in Other Desert Cities, RED and last summer’s Twelfth Night.

“We’re so excited to have such a young, vibrant profes-sional join our SJCT Theatre family and help lead us into the future,” Theatre Board President Susan Mazzarella said.

Ryan said, “I’m stepping into an organization that is working extremely well and I couldn’t be more excited to help it continue to thrive. I feel very welcomed here—both at the theatre and in the community.”

SJCT will host a “meet and greet” in the near future so that islanders can get to know the theatre’s new artistic director.

‘Return of the River’… returns

Return of the River, the capstone film of the Friday Harbor Film Festival’s 2015 Winter Film Series, will be screened at the San Juan Island Grange on Tuesday, May 19 at 7 p.m.

The Audience Choice Award Winner of the 2014 Friday Harbor Film Festival, Return of the River tells the story of the removal of the dams on the Elwha River, the largest project of its kind in U.S. history.

The screening is co-sponsored by Friends of the San Juans and chron-icles the grass-roots effort that helped to change pub-lic opinion and restore the former ecosystem of the river and its surroundings.

Return of the River stands as a guiding light for com-munities facing environ-mental challenges by chron-icling a story of success that has drawn international attention to the Olympic Peninsula.

Filmmaker John Gussman will attend the screening to discuss the making of the film and its impact. Friends’ staff mem-bers will also be on hand to offer insight into local efforts to protect salmon habitat in the Salish Sea.

Only the Loggers stood in the way.

With just one league game remaining on its regular-season schedule, The Friday Harbor softball team was poised to clinch nothing less than a share of the league title with a win at home over Darrington, Tuesday, May 12.

The Wolverines (7-1 league, 11-6 overall) mus-cled their way to the top of the Northwest 2B/1B League standings thanks to a white-knuckled 3-2 win at home over La Conner, May 1, avenging its only loss in league play (a 3-1 defeat at La Conner April 14) with the victory as well.

They followed up the win over the Braves by dismantling Orcas Island in both games of a double-header, May 4, and edging past the Loggers two days later in an 8-6 win on the road, the Wolverines second win in as many games against Darrington (5-3 league, 10-5 overall) so far this season.

The Braves (6-1 league, 10-5 overall) face Darrington twice before the end of regular-season play. The Wolverines wrap up their regular season schedule May 19 in a non-conference clash at home against 2A Sedro Woolley; game time is 4:45 p.m.

Wolverines take aim at league title

Post season begins for FH singles duo

Wolverines, Vikings battle for 2nd

Friday Harbor singles players Ashton Timmons and Yasmin Sarah will have momentum on their side when post-season play begins Wednesday, at South

Whidbey, at the district tournament. Winners of their last two matches, both will be seeking a berth at the Tri-District tournament in the regional competition.

Hopes of a repeat title slipped from its grasp as the Friday Harbor baseball team fell 6-4 to La Conner at home May 1.

With the win, the Braves (10-1 league, 14-4 overall) swept the two-game season series from the Wolverines and solidified its hold on

first place in the Northwest 2B/1B League standings.

With second place on the line, the Wolverines (9-2 league, 12-3 overall) faced Orcas Island (8-3 league) Monday in their regular-season finale. The 2B District tournament begins May 16, in Stanwood.
