If you’ve wondered what the best way is to “Get Jesse,” King 5 New’s tena-cious consumer reporter, Jesse Jones, here’s a hint: driver, putter and bar-becued salmon dinner.

The combi-nation seems to work well for the San Juan Celebrity Golf Classic.

For the second year in a row, Jones will be on hand and com-peting along with two dozen other Pacific N o r t h w e s t celebrities, and local golfers, for bragging rights, or to escape with dignity in tact, as part of

the 28th Annual Islanders Bank San Juan Celebrity Golf Classic, May 30-31, at San Juan Golf & Country Club.

The county council heard from impassioned supporters of the farmland conservation program during its regular meeting on Orcas last week.

“I used to think this program was for wealthy landowners who wanted a tax break,” said audience member Bob Gamble, who also serves on the planning commis-sion. “But I’ve seen the people who come through on these applica-tions, and they are long-time farm owners. I’ve changed my opinion.”

The public hearing was for an

Call it luck. Call it fate. Call it being in the right place at the wrong time.

In any event, William Wallace is not among the hundreds of thousands of U.S. military men, and women, that we pay tribute to on Memorial Day, those who died in the line of duty. But just barely.

The former Army pilot and decorated WWII veteran celebrated birthday No. 94 exactly one week before Memorial Day, on May 19, in the company of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, only because he managed to sur-vive being shot down not just once, but twice, and lived to tell about it. He doesn’t spend much time thinking about it nowadays.

“Like every-thing else, the military has its ups and downs,” Wallace said. “I’ve got a knack for put-ting things I don’t like out of my mind, so I don’t have many downs.”

As harrowing as those death-defying combat missions must

have been (he crashed during a training flight back in the states as well), Wallace’s life is more than a survival story. It’s a tale of determina-tion, of overcoming the odds to fulfill a dream, and of blazing a trail that the next generation,

Boaters who want to find out where to launch their boats or tie up for a week-end on the water can do so now through Washington

Water Cruiser, a new app launched by the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office.

The app, for Apple and Android devices, is free. It

maps all state-owned boat launches and moorage sites open to the public, along with amenities for boaters at each site.

Get the app for Apple devices at itunes.apple.com/us/app/water-cruiser/id791731884?ls=1&mt=8, for Android devices at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.geoengineers .wawater-cruiser and on the Web at watercruiser.smartmine.com.

The map-based app was created by SmartMine, the technology development team at GeoEngineers, using a grant RCO received from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It provides aerial, street map and nauti-cal chart views for boaters throughout the state.

“This app will be really helpful to a lot of boat-ers,” said George Harris, president of the Northwest Marine Trade Association, the nation’s largest regional

Edith Elizabeth (Wadsworth) Schwendeman, 96 of Lopez Island, Wash., passed away peace-fully May 21, 2014, at Mt. Baker Care Center in Bellingham, Wash., where she had resided for just over one year.

The sole surviving child of John and Annie Wadsworth, who were from England, she was born on Oct. 3, 1917, in Schiller Park, Ill.

Edith married Harold R. Schwendeman (deceased 2/8/95) on Aug. 10, 1940, and they resided in Franklin Park, Ill., until retiring to Lopez Island, Wash. in 1974.

As many of her Lopez friends know, Edith was

a very accomplished lapidary (cutting & polish-ing stones) as well as goldsmith and silversmith, and in younger days, received many awards for her hand made jewelry.

She was also one of the original founding members of the Lopez Island Enchanted Quilters and hand-quilted 17 quilts. In the last few years arthritis had prevented Edith from continuing her hobbies.

Survivors include; one son, Harold (Ray) and daughter-in-law Kathleen (Kathy) Schwendeman of Sumner, Wash., and four grandsons, Thomas (Kirsten) Schwendeman and family of Clayton,

Wis., Craig (Kristy) Schwendeman and family of Sumner, Wash., Daniel (Naoko) Schwendeman and family of Farmington, Utah, and Eric (Wendy) Schwendeman and family of St. Croix Falls, Wis.

Edith is also the great-grandmother of 16 great-grandchildren and eight great-great-grandchildren. (Whew!)

Graveside ser-vices will be held on Friday, May 30, 2014 at 12:30 p.m. at Lopez Union Cemetery, 312 Davis Bay Road, fol-lowed by a memo-rial service at 1:30 p.m. at Lopez Island Community Church, at 91 Lopez Road, officiated by Pastor Jeff Smith, and fol-lowed by a reception

in the church hall. Arrangements are in the care of Evans Funeral

Chapel and Crematory, Anacortes, Wash., and the San Juan Islands.

Do you love animals but don’t have the time or funds for a full-time pet? If so, fostering may be for you.

Crowded shelters on the mainland are always in need of foster parents, and the islands’ facilities are no different.

“If folks feel like they can’t adopt a dog or cat because they travel frequently or are only part-time residents, then fostering can be a great solution,” said Orcas Animal Shelter Director Marsha Waunch. “They can enjoy a pet for the time they have available.”

Shelters can be high stress environments for animals – strangers coming to visit and being in a kennel can cause anxiety. One solution is placing the cat or dog in a tempo-rary home until a permanent adopter comes forward.

“We have a foster mother who is really into helping out the old dogs,” said Friday Harbor Animal Shelter Director Leslie Byron. “She keeps them all the way until the end if she can.”

The local shelters provide food and medical care for pets placed in foster families. If a potential adopter is interested in seeing the animal, they can either visit the home or make an arrangement to meet at the shelter.

“Some foster families end up keeping the dog or cat,” Byron said. “They become part of the family.”

In Friday Harbor, there is a particular need for people willing to care for new born kittens, which means bottle feeding them until they are ready to live full-time at the

shelter.The Lopez Animal Protection Society, which doesn’t

have a facility, relies entirely on foster volunteers. The non-profit seldom receives dogs but has a high number of cat surrenders.

“We have a need – not as great as the other islands – but we do need foster homes,” said Director Joyce Myhr.

You can help an animal in need by fostering a pet from the shelter pet

Under a new contract with San Juan County, Lautenbach Recycling will take over operations at the town-owned transfer sta-tion on Sutton Road on San Juan Island.

Keys will be transferred June 1, but operations and hours will continue with minimal changes while Lautenbach completes required environmental work and restores tipping floor capabilities to the site.

“We’ll need a few months to implement some cus-tomer-friendly changes,” said Troy Lautenbach, founder and president of the 20-year-old recycling and waste transfer company

bearing the family name. “My brother Torrey and I will be smoothing out wrin-kles in operations, and we’ll both be meeting with cus-tomers and other residents to find out your ideas to make things work better.”

Steve Wehrly and John Vejvoda will be operating the facility. Give Wehrly a call at 298-6808 with your ideas, or to arrange a meet-ing with one or both of the Lautenbach brothers.

Lautenbach is planning to host an open house at the Sutton Road facility later in the summer, but don’t hesitate to call anytime or stop by to talk with Werhly or Vejvoda, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Friday, Saturday and

Sunday.“We hope old and new

patrons will offer ideas how we can improve both recy-cling and garbage opera-tions,” Wehrly said. “This will be a new experience for all of us. We need the com-munity’s help to make it a

success for everyone.”For more informa-

tion, visit the website at Sanjuantransferstation.com, twitter is @SanJuanTransfer. For the company: www.lautenbachrecycling.com, or call the Skagit County home office at 360-757-4000.

Hi Steve, E� ective, May 1, 2014, all buyers of older properties (“pre-FIRM” – Flood Insurance Rate Map) will see a premium rate reduction under the Homeowner Flood Insurance A� ordability Act of 2014. Instead of jumping to “full cost” for � ood insurance, buyers will assume the seller’s Oct-2013 rate for a pre-FIRM property. FEMA also extended the rate relief so all pre-FIRM properties (including the second homes and businesses) will begin paying Oct-2013 rates when they purchase or renew their � ood insurance after May 1, including (a) ALL buyers of a pre-FIRM property, not just those whose seller has an existing policy; (b) ALL recent owners who apply for a new � ood insurance policy on a pre-FIRM property; (c) ALL recent owners who reinstate an old pre-FIRM policy that previously lapsed for any reason; (d) ALL recent owners who renew a policy on a pre-FIRM property bought or newly insured after the 2012 Biggert-Waters law.

and the next, would follow. Inspired by his father, Gary Wallace, a Vietnam War vet-

eran and retired U.S. Marine, would learn to fly. Likewise, Wallace’s grandsons, Richard and Mark Mattox, became hooked on aviation at an early age and would learn to fly as well, and still do, professionally.

A graduate of the Annapolis naval academy, Mark Mattox soloed for the first time, at the age of 16, at Boeing Field. He went on to fly F-18 fighter jets on patrol over Iraq after Desert Storm and over Afghanistan after the Sept. 11, ter-rorists attacks. As a fighter pilot, Mattox achieved some-thing that his grandfather was denied, which, to this day, does not sit well with him.

“He had a tough time going through flight school just because of the way he looked,” said the 40-year-old Navy pilot, who lives in San Diego and now flies for Delta.

Badly burned at his Bellingham home at the age of four, William Wallace’s face was permanently scarred when fire broke out in the family’s wood-stove. Still, like many kids of his day he dreamed of becoming a fighter pilot and, inspired by an uncle, a navy pilot, he went to enlist in the navy, but quickly found out that he didn’t “look the part.”

“They turned me down because of my scars,” he recalls. So, in pursuit of his dream, he enlisted in the army

instead. But he found resistance there as well and, had it not been for one particular officer, one who recognized Wallace’s determination and courage, and went to bat for

him, he may never have ended up in the cockpit. And, although his ambition of becoming a fighter pilot never materialized, he did end up piloting cargo planes in the European and the Pacific theater throughout the second half of the war.

“Being alive, that’s not so simple,” Wallace said. “Being up in the air, that’s freedom.”

Following the war, Wallace became an aeronautical engi-neer, worked for companies such as Boeing and Northrop, and later a technical aviation writer with McGraw Hill. It was at an international aerospace convention in the ‘60s that he unexpectedly met the Luftwaffe pilot that shot down his cargo plane.

“It was very cordial,” Wallace recalls of the conversation between the two.

Wallace moved from Bellingham to southern California shortly after the war, with his wife at the time, returned to Everett 25 years later, and then to San Juan Island seven years ago to be closer to his daughter, Krista, and grandson Richard and his family.

Although it’s something they share, the men of the family rarely sit down and swap stories of their military service. That’s mostly because the experiences of each and the type of war and conflict they saw tend to be too different for much common ground, Gary Wallace said.

“Our wars were all different,” he said. “(William’s) was one of necessity. Mine was, well, a big mistake. Our experi-ences were all too different, all too personal. We don’t really talk about it all that much.”

And yet, perhaps that common ground may just be up in the air.

“They all love planes,” Krista said.

Edith Edwards purchased a farm on Lopez Island after her retirement and has taken in a host of unwanted ani-mals, including a horse, a pony, three sheep, a rooster, hens, cats and dogs.

“Fostering is wonderful if one has the space – they have a safe place, even if it’s temporarily,” Edwards said. “It is so needed because on Lopez we don’t have a facility. I hope more people both foster and adopt – there are so many animals in need.”

She said the most rewarding part of her rescue farm is watching the trans-formation of her critters.

“Many of them were afraid of people but over time they become so loving,”

Edwards said. “It’s a healing and beau-tiful thing. It’s very special.”

On Orcas, there is a senior mastiff mix named Bubba who hasn’t had any interest from potential adopters. Waunch says he is an ideal candidate for a foster family. He doesn’t require much exercise and is happy to just lay in the sun but can’t be in a home with cats or very small children.

Currently, the Orcas shelter has three cats in foster situations. One is permanent but the other two will be returning soon.

“We have several cats right now that would really benefit from a foster fam-ily,” Waunch said.

According to www.petfinder.com, to be a successful foster parent, you need a compassionate nature, the coopera-tion of your family or roommates, flex-ibility and some knowledge of animal

behavior. The length of time a foster pet may stay in your home varies with the animal’s situation.

“It can also be very difficult to let go once you have become emotionally attached to an animal,” according to the website. “Be prepared for tears and heartache when the day comes that you must bring your first foster pet back to the shelter.

REDUCE • REUSE • RECYCLEordinance to change farmland conservation rules so that current-use tax assessment benefits can be extended to more properties for longer periods of time.

After listening to testimony, the council voted to continue the hearing on June 3 in Friday Harbor.

Land used for farming can receive reduction of tax assess-ments below “fair market value” if the farmer meets certain criteria for profitable farming under state law. Land not used for actual farming for a period of time can receive reduced assessments from the county council if the owner meets certain criteria set by county law. It is this law that is the subject of the proposed new ordinance.

Under the county law, the land must either be returned to active farming within 10 years or the owner must enter into a conservation easement prohibiting development inconsistent with agricultural use. The proposed change would extend the time limit for returning the land to active

farming to 20 years.Other criteria must be satisfied before the council can grant

the assessment benefit, including that the land in question must be “sub-dividible.”

The requirement that the land be sub-dividible would be eliminated by the proposed ordinance.

Chairman Rick Hughes is in favor of the change, saying the 10-year limit on returning farmland to active agricul-tural production may not be reasonable because of the time it takes to return fallow farmland to profitable production.

But Hughes says he is also aware of the “shifting tax bur-den” to other county property owners and was not ready to vote on the ordinance yet.

Councilmen Bob Jarman and Jamie Stephens would like to do more research before making a decision.

Assessor Charles Zalmanek spoke against the ordinance. He said “opening the door” to more people will cause a tax burden to other taxpayers. Hughes disagreed.

“Even if we extend it, there are still requirements that have to be met to participate,” he said.

How the rich get richer? My tax bill

I’m delighted to see that our county commissioners are proposing, by extending the tax break for not farm-ing, to shift yet more of the county’s tax burden onto me and others who are too poor to own big parcels of land or to hire experts to mine the tax law for ways not to pay their fair share of taxes.

Already about half the county’s land is being taxed at pennies to the dollars I pay, but that’s not good enough for today’s commis-sioners. They want more from me.

But, of course, since I’m not wealthy, while those with huge chunks of the county land more often are, it’s only right that elected officials should favor them over a mere resident.

Every April and October, as I write those checks to the county, I thank the com-missioners for allowing me to help out Paul Allen by paying the taxes that he is being allowed to avoid.

After all, my Social Security check went up a whole $18 a month this year, so it’s only right that the commissioners should feel free to take that (and a lot more) to help out Paul and his friends.

For those who think it’s unfair that they should pay higher taxes so that the wealthy can enjoy tax breaks normal residents aren’t enti-tled to, quit whining.

If you don’t realize what a privilege it is to subsidize Paul Allen’s tax relief, you obviously need an attitude

adjustment. Just repeat with Big

Brother: Tax Inequity is Fairness. Fewer Taxes on the Rich is Justice. Paying Higher Taxes Brings More Happiness than a Warm Puppy.

There, now don’t you feel better?

To Ted, his family, and to his humor

I remember back in the 1990s when the deer were using the airport runway for grazing, before the fence. The fence became the “issue” of the winter season. There always seemed to be an “issue” that was knocked around during the winter by the permanent residents back then.

When the Department of Wildlife got involved, I decided to write a parody of Ted’s articles to lighten it up and write from the animal’s point of view on the fence. They were signed “Bambi and Spirit Eagle.”

I substituted names using humor. I remember one was, “Mob Grumble” of the Port of Orcas, Bob Gamble. I submitted the first one to the Sounder with some trepidation and was pleas-antly surprised that Ted printed it!

I continued with the “Bambi” letters until the issue was put to bed—unfortunately with the Department of Wildlife kill-ing the Deer. Ted printed them all!

That’s when I learned about Ted’s sense of humor. In fact, he went on to use my “Bambi” format for the April Fool’s edition every

year after that!My prayers are with Ted’s

family at this painful time.SPIRIT EAGLE

Orcas Island

Under siege from folly of firearms

This is an open letter to the San Juan County Sheriff ’s office, the County Council and the citizens on San Juan County.

I grew up in the post World War II era with the Korean War under way and the cold war heating up. My father’s generation saw the slaughter in Europe and the South Pacific.

We were taught that fire-arms were to be treated with the greatest respect because of the incredible damage they could cause. We hunt-ed for the sole purpose of putting meat on the table.

While hunting, we saw a lot of what we called “California Hunters” (no offense to folks from California, but we saw many California plates) who were also known as “road hunt-ers;” Hunters too lazy to get out of the-always-new and-fancy trucks and actu-ally hunt.

They would go back to their Airstream to kill way over their limit of beer-can in the sport of target prac-tice. Any game in that area would be gone.

To find game, we would seek very remote areas that required the use of old but reliable four-wheel drive trucks.

I relate this story because I hope the County Council will change regulations regarding target practice on the islands. I think it fair to acknowledge that the islands are becoming more

residential and less rural in nature.

Blasting away at targets (I suspect that beer cans still top the list) without regard for neighbors is not only dangerous, but rude. I respect a farmer’s right to shoot dogs that are kill-ing or damaging their live stock.

KENT GALESan Juan Island

End the abuse of civil rights—now

I believe that it has been S an Juan County policy to hold persons in local jail facilities even if the under-lying charges are resolved or bail is posted if they are believed to be foreign born or subject to an ICE/DHS detainer.

I personally am aware of at least one case in San Juan County in which, at the request of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), a person was held beyond the time bail was posted for

the underlying offense.Federal courts in

Pennsylvania, Oregon and Rhode Island have recently decided that holding an immigrant at the request of ICE violates the Fourth Amendment rights of the detained individual, and that sheriffs and their departments may be liable for damages for holding such people past the time they would otherwise be released.

Other state legislatures (Colorado and California), governors (Maryland) and sheriffs elsewhere have enacted policies which limit the right and/or obligation of local law enforcement agencies to cooperate with ICE’s detention requests.

In Washington, Chelan, Clallam, Clark, Franklin, King, Kitsap, Skagit, Spokane, Thurston, Walla Walla and Yakima counties have already changed their detention policy, and other Washington counties are in the process of changing or re considering their policies.

I urge San Juan County to immediately change its poli-cy in accord with the federal court decisions because; (1) such prolonged detentions have now been declared unconstitutional and, (2) the county may be held liable for damages resulting from such unconstitutional detention.

I hope that San Juan County Sheriff ’s Office will issue a statement of poli-cy on this matter without further time passing, but if the county council must act first , I request that this issue be taken up at the next County Council meeting on May 20.

Editorial

Be respectful of your neighbors, and tourists tooCherry blossoms are bursting with color

and kayaks are being taken out of stor-age.

It’s soon to be summer in the San Juans – which means tourist season is just around the corner.

Treating our visitors kindly is something we all need to practice. We know tourists are a major stimulus for our economy, but sometimes it’s dif-ficult to be welcoming when the check-out lines are longer and bicyclists take up part of the road. And for those working in local businesses, their cus-tomer service skills need to be top notch. If tour-ists have a positive experience here, they are more likely to return. And bring their friends.

We’d also like to remind our community to treat locals with that same courtesy. For those of us who live here year-round, we rely on each other to keep our businesses afloat. And for many, shopping and eating locally is a daily habit. Let’s reward that.

When it takes longer to purchase your groceries or find a parking place, remember to take a deep breath and be grateful for the visitors who came all the way here to enjoy a place we call home 365 days of the year.

And make sure to smile at your fellow islanders.

PUBLIC MEETINGS

By Charles ZalmanekSpecial to the Journal

Legislation was enacted in 1993 that allowed counties to imple-ment the Open Space Farm

Conservation Program because many farmers, whose lands were enrolled in the Current Use Farm and Agricultural Program (a commercial farming pro-gram), were reaching the age where they could no longer physically con-tinue to commer-cially farm their land.

This program helps reduce the amount of unpro-ductive farmland from development by providing a tax break until the land is once again pro-ductive. At that time, San Juan County chose to not implement the farm conservation program.

In 2008, the assessor sent a ques-tionnaire to all classified farmland owners as part of the responsibility to monitor ongoing compliance with the classification. Shortly thereafter, one

of these farmland owners came into the assessor’s office and explained that he had not been commercially farming for many years.

He asked what options were avail-able for his land, since he knew that his land did not continue to qualify for the current use farm and agricultural program.

The assessor explained that his best option would be to apply for the farm conservation program and then encourage the County Council to implement that program. This gen-tleman was in a unique position to accomplish this as he was a sitting council member.

After three years of working with the planning commission, the prosecuting attorney, other county legislatures and the state Department of Revenue, the previous six-member council devel-oped and implemented the open space farm conservation program.

Now, three years after adoption, the

current council is considering revising the program. The final hearing and adoption of revisions is scheduled for May 20.

If the council wants to address prob-lems with the open space program, there is a pressing topic that deserves the council’s attention.

The county implemented the Public Benefit Rating System (PBRS) for open space in 1990. It has been revised several times since 1990 and the law requires the council to re-rate all previously rated properties when the PBRS is revised.

After 24 years, this has yet to be done.

Shouldn’t the council stop putting this requirement on the back burner instead of revising an ordinance that was carefully developed and adopted only three years ago?

Isn’t it time that the council con-sider the majority of taxpayers in our county, ordinary law-abiding citizens, who are becoming increasingly weary of paying more than their fair share of taxes?

Reservations? Devil’s in the details

By Jim CorenmanSpecial to the Weekly

Washington State Ferries is on track to offer reserva-tions for most San Juan Islands routes starting with the 2015 winter schedule, which begins Dec. 28, 2014.

The planning process started in late 2012 with the forma-tion of a Reservations Partnership Group to work with WSF and develop a reservations program that might work for the San Juan Islands.

The group consists of about 25 members who represent all four ferry-served islands, as well as various user-groups, and who work with WSF management, and project lead-ers and designers. Members of WSF’s seven ferry advisory committees are also part of the group.

The goal is to make better use of available ferry resources, and to make traveling to and from the islands less frustrat-ing and more predictable for everyone—locals and visitors alike. Currently, the only way to be sure of getting onto a boat during the busiest periods is to show up at the terminal hours early. That gets tiresome, as does getting to the termi-nal at what you think is a reasonable time, and then having to wait three or four hours for the next boat.

This is not a situation that makes a lot of folks happy. Imagine being able to reserve a spot, and even if you can’t get your first choice, at least then you will have something to plan your day around. There is a reason that every other sizeable ferry system in the world offers reservations.

But the San Juan Islands present some challenges. The group has looked at a number of issues, starting with who can make reservations and when.

Reservations for popular sailings will fill up for the same reason that boats overload now, because folks prefer the 8 a.m. sailing over the 5:50 a.m. redeye, and getting home (or to your hotel) at midnight isn’t as nice as getting there

before supper. And, we would all like to have priority but since the fer-

ries are run by the state there are some limitations. One of the first decisions was that eastbound reservations

(Anacortes bound) would be provided only from Friday Harbor and Orcas, due to the greatest need and limited terminal space on Lopez and Shaw. Westbound reservations will be provided to all islands.

A key concept is a staggered release of space. Looking for-ward to next year, reservations for summer 2015 will become available in March—but only for part of the available space. This gives folks planning a trip a chance to book well ahead. Then one to two weeks prior another block of space becomes available, and then possibly more space a day or two ahead.

The details of how much space for each release, and how early, are not yet final.

There will be no additional charge for reservations, but there will be a “no-show” fee. Changes can be freely made until the day of sailing (subject to space available), and one change is allowed on the day of sailing up until three hours prior, without any penalty.

It’s not rocket science, but WSF and other are hard at work to get it right

Fairness felled by misplaced prioritiesmany homeless.

And then, in a period of 10 days, many people and agencies helped turn my life back right-side up again.

I want to thank the individuals at the San Juan Island Home Trust, Compass Health, the Episcopalian and

Presbyterian Churches, the Family Resource Center, San Juan County Health and Community Services, Friday Harbor Village, and the many other people who made a special effort in a time of need.

I don’t think such fast and positive help could have happened anywhere else than in our special island community.

Which brings us to two more important consider-ations: How much of the boat can be reserved, and how to manage traffic at the Anacortes terminal.

The initial thinking was to leave lots of space unre-served for drive-ups, but that doesn’t change any-thing—folks without reser-vations would still need to show up hours early to get on the boat.

The better answer is to make it easy to book a reser-vation. And that should also solve the traffic problem: If 300 cars aren’t showing up to get onto a 144-car ferry, then the terminal will be able to handle the traffic.

The good news is that the basic reservation system is already in place for the Coupeville/Port Townsend and Sidney routes. Go to the ferries web page (www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries), click on “Reservations” (on the left), and click “Make a res-ervation” in the upper-right. Check it out.

And, folks without inter-net service can make a res-ervation via telephone, and customer service is being expanded.

A related element is get-

ting information to ferry riders. From the ferries home page, click “Terminal Conditions” on the right and then “Anacortes." This shows how much space is available on upcoming sail-ings, right now, today.

Now go back and select Coupeville or Port Townsend. These terminals have reservations avail-able and you can see how much space is available to be reserved, and how much remaining space is available for drive-up travelers with-out reservations. Signage will also be needed, that is still on ferries’ to-do list.

The motto of the Partnership Group has become “The devil is in the details.”

The concepts look work-able so far, but many details still need to be sorted and your FAC would very much like feedback and sugges-tions. The next partnership meeting is May 28, 11:30 a.m. at San Juan Island Yacht Club.

The public is welcome but there is only limited time for public comment, so please send comments via email to: [email protected]

Barbershop Bonanza

Details:Continued from page 7

A 45-member choir from British Columbia, a Northwest quartet with a combined 150 years of barbershop singing and San Juan Island’s own barbershop masters share their a cappella talents, the stage and the spotlight, at San Juan Community Theatre, Sunday, June 1, at 2 p.m.

Celebrating its 16th year in Friday Harbor, Barbershop Bonanza honors this uniquely American music with contem-porary and old-time favorites full of four-part harmonies.

Directed by Angel Michaels, the Bonanza is hosted by San Juan’s mixed barbershop chorus, Island Chordsmen Plus, and features the island’s local women’s a cappella ensemble, Sound Vibrations.

This year’s visiting groups include First Capital Chorus, based in Langley, British Columbia. The choir got its start more than 40 years ago and today has more than 45 active members. While the group has a few old standards they share, their repertoire is now filled with “boogie, Broadway, Elvis and Elton, Beatles and Beach Boys.”

The Northwest quarter, Cheers, re-formed in 2014 after

being “Friendly Advice” for the better part of the previ-ous decade. The total number of district championships among the group's four men totals 14. In addition to their combined 150 years of bar-bershop singing, they have more than 30 appearances on the international stage presenting a variety of music types such as gospel, doo-wop, popular, traditional barbershop and patriotic.

The Business Partners for the Bonanza are Kirk House Bed and Breakfast and Friday Harbor Drug. Tickets are $18, with festival seating. The SJCT box office is open Tues-Fri. , 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The works of San Juan’s resident artists offer views on the island experience through multi-medium interpretations of local vistas: the California poppies growing wild along the road to

Jackson Beach are immortalized in BJ Dollahite’s impressionistic land-scapes, while the rhythms of the shoreline are captured in the plein air paintings of her husband, Matt Dollahite.

Mary Gey McCulloch’s canvases present the light and colors of inland farms with a Provençal flair, driftwood and bull kelp is gathered by Yvonne Buijs-Mancuso to cast molds for her distinctive jewelry and Penelope Torkington pieces cloth dragonflies and other iconic island elements into colorful quilts.

These and 34 other artists will open their studio doors and gardens to visitors during the 2-day San Juan Island Annual Artists’ Studio Tour on May 31 and June 1. The group’s collective oeuvre represents numerous manifesta-tions of inspiration including glassworks, jewelry, painting, photography, pottery, printmaking, quilting, and sculpture.

The pieces are sold year-round at trade shows, online and through galleries, but the tour offers an opportunity to speak with artists one-on-one and learn about the genesis and processes of their cre-ations where they’re formed.

This connection to the makers adds layers of interest to the works once ensconced in the homes and offices of their patrons; the responsive interaction provides a boost to these often solitary creators—as well as vital, direct feedback from their market.

Given their allure and beauty, all of the San Juan islands are home to artists; the Islands Museum of Art under construc-

tion in Friday Harbor is a testament to this. And, as Ms. Buijs-Mancuso sees it, “San Juan offers artists the best of

both worlds: the conveniences and resources of a town, and the inspi-ration and privacy of the country. It presents urban diversions when desired, but also a critical freedom from distractions when needed for the creative work.”

A 22-year veteran of San Juan’s scene, she describes the island’s professional arts community as diverse, original, eccentric, adaptive and engaged. This combination of traits—combined with the island’s natural assets—is the foundation for the variety of works the commu-nity produces.

Whether San Juan is home for a week of vacation or as a primary residence, the works of this talented and committed community cap-ture the presence of its rolling hills, farms and beaches to enjoy year ‘round.

This year’s raffle offers visitors the chance to win a two-night stay at the McCulloch Guesthouse Garden Cottage by the Sea and a $50 gift certificate for dinner at Vinny's Ristorante. Entry forms will be available at all participating stu-dios.

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.

It won’t be her last round of golf this season, but, so far, it was her best.

Friday Harbor High School senior Kendra Meeker shot a 79 at the Tri-District regional tourna-ment to clinch a fourth-consecutive appearance at the state 1A golf cham-pionship.

Meeker finished second over-all among 36 players competing in the women’s field of the Tri-District, Tuesday, May 20, at Gold Mountain Golf Course in Bremerton, three strokes behind Tri-District champion Hannah Hoh of King’s High School. The 16 players with the lowest scores advance to State.

“As she prepared to tee off we set a goal to go out and enjoy the round, do your best but have fun and enjoy the moment,” Coach Jack Rice said. “She had a smile on her face for most of the day and played a great round of golf.”

Meeker finished sixth overall at State in her sophomore year and 12th as a freshman.

Hosted by Tacoma’s Lake Spanaway Golf Club, the two-day 1A state tournament gets under way May 28.

With a berth at State on the line, Friday Harbor junior Willie Blackmon and sophomore Kyle Jangard will compete in the 1A Friday Track & Field finals, Saturday, May 31, at King’s High School.

Blackmon, a state qualifier a years ago, shattered his pre-vious school-best mark to set a new school record, 40.93, in the 400-meter hurdles at an earlier sub-district meet at Lynden Christian. Blackmon this year will be vying for shot at state in the 400-meter hurdles as well as the 200-meter

dash at the Tri-District finals.

Coach Darrin Scheffer said that Jangard has a “good shot” at clinching a State bid in the high jump if he is able to improve on his personal best, 5' 8", by two inches.

“I think he’s capable of doing it,” Scheffer said. The Wolverines girls 400x1 and 400x2 relay teams turned

in their fastest times of the season in the Tri-District pre-liminary meet, but fell short of qualifying for the finals.

“They ran better than they ever have but just not quite fast enough,” Scheffer said.
