By Anna V. SmithJournal reporter

The forest fires in Washington continue to burn, drawing international aid from firefight-ers and volunteers, including from the San Juan Islands. Six firefighters from San Juan Island, one from Orcas Island and five local Red Cross volunteers have joined the effort to contain the fires and help affected residents.

Red Cross volunteer Allan Smith, 64, from Friday Harbor began Aug. 30 to assist the Colville Shelter, where he said he is helping people affected by the fires by listening to their stories, supplying food, maintaining shelter supplies, administration and looking after pets.

“There is really no normal day, one always carries one’s gear because you seldom end up where you started,” Smith wrote in an email to the Journal. “As the fire behavior changes, one’s day gets re-ordered, even hour to hour. Red Cross days here are officially 12 hours but in reality we work till the work is done.”

State of emergencyGov. Jay Inslee declared a State of Emergency

on June 26 and requested a federal Emergency Declaration Aug. 19 for 11 Washington coun-ties, but resources and people have still been strapped due to the sheer magnitude of the fires.

Capt. Noel Monin, 41, of San Juan Island Fire Rescue assisted in fire fighting efforts from Aug. 12-28, first at Renner Canyon, and then the Stick Pin fire which was renamed the Kettle Complex as multiple fires merged together.

“We were strained for resources and person-nel on all levels,” Monin said. “From top posi-tion to bottom positions. It required a lot of flexibility and collaboration with the resources that were there to go above and beyond what was expected.”

This was Monin’s first large scale assign-ment as a Task Force Leader, which he said is

a person who works with the division leader to come up with solutions, and then find a way to implement them.

“I would say that fire is the most taxing I’ve ever been on,” Monin said. “It was very demanding and required a lot more effort than usual.”

Lt. Tad Lean, 47, of San Juan Fire Rescue said that they would ask for more personnel or resources, but were never guaranteed to get them. Lean was also at the Kettle Complex, from Aug. 14-28.

“We were so strapped we just had to do with what we had,” Lean said.

His daily schedule started by waking up at 4:45 a.m., having breakfast, heading to the daily briefing, and then going out to the fire line around 7 a.m., working on the fires until around 7 p.m. and then returning to camp.

When working out on the line, Lean said the temperatures were high 70s to low 80s, and the

Extreme weather floods Friday Harbor


Extreme rains Sept. 3 gushed down sidewalks in downtown

Friday Harbor, keeping patrons inside and flooding businesses on Spring Street and First Street including Black Fish, the Bean

Cafe, Pelindaba Lavender, Arctic Raven Gallery, King’s Market, stores in Surina Business Park off Malcolm Street and more.

“In all my fifteen years here, I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Richard Babbitt, who was in Rocky Bay Cafe when the flooding started. “Everybody was glued to the window, watching.”

The rain culminated in a rush-ing torrent of rain down the side-walks and pooling on First Street. Cars were up to their bumpers in water, and once the rain subsided people came out to try to help or watch.

Eye witness accounts say about five inches of rain water pooled in King’s Market, which had to close temporarily in order to remove the water. It reopened by early afternoon.

According to Town Administrator Duncan Wilson, blocked drains were not the cul-prit for the flooding.

“It had absolutely positively

nothing to do with leave and nee-dles on the drains,” Wilson said, “We hadn’t seen anything like this and the system just couldn’t han-dle the sheer volume.

Wilson explained that the 48 inch drainage pipe simply couldn’t contain all of the downpour, resulting in flooding.

“The entire line was charged,” Wilson said. “It was so strong and so powerful it blew a manhole off.”

City workers had to block off the manhole near the intersection on Argyle Street and Spring Street with a truck so that well-meaning helpers wading into the calf-high water wouldn’t fall in on accident.

Business owners used sandbags and towels to keep the water at bay, one used tables as a barricade to try and stop the flow from get-ting into his store.

Some were barefoot, trying to sweep the sidewalks of detritus after the water drained out of the storefronts and off the sidewalks.

“I didn’t know you could have surgery here!”

In addition to on-site orthopedic and general surgeons, primary care physicians, and emergency medicine physicians, PeaceHealth Peace Island welcomes visiting specialists on a regular basis. Specialties include obstetrics/gynecology; cardiology; gastroenterology; oncology; ear, nose and throat; and psychiatry.

San Juan Island resident, Carol Maas didn’t want to have shoulder surgery, but she said, “even I could see that was the only thing that would fix it.”

On top of facing surgery, Carol didn’t want to leave the island. PeaceHealth Medical Group orthopedic surgeon, Jeffrey Krusniak, DO, told her she wouldn’t have to. Carol had arthroscopic shoulder surgery – an outpatient procedure involving a small incision, scope and camera – at PeaceHealth Peace Island Medical Center.

“I feel really fortunate to have had the option to stay close to home.”

The intersection of Nichols Street and A Street will be converted from a two-way stop to an all-way stop in the next week. This traffic revision is justified because of the intersection safety concerns which can be best addressed by chang-ing it to a four-way stop.

Pedestrian and vehicular traffic at the intersection and congestion on Nichols Street has steadily increased over the past several years as a result of new businesses in the area, use of Washington State Ferries Lots B & C to

accommodate the reser-vation system, and activi-ties at Sunken Park and Brickworks Plaza. Signage is scheduled to be installed the week of Sept. 7, after Labor Day. Traffic revisions will be marked with orange flags and will stay up for an extended period of time. Marked crosswalks are not planned at this time, how-ever pedestrians continue to have the right-of-way at all marked and unmarked intersections pursuant to state law. Contact Town Hall at 378-2810.

New signage for four-way stop

San Juan County government and the San Juan County Economic Development Council is launching a joint proj-ect, the creation of the San Juan Islands Made brand and seal.

The San Juan Islands Made brand was established to help protect the integrity and value of locally manufactured, fished and timbered goods. Products bearing the seal are genuine, San Juan Islands-made premium products. To meet program standards, all products must be produced in San Juan County, Washington.

The San Juan Islands Made program was launched by San Juan County Council and the San Juan County Economic Development Council. The program was designed to help our small manufacturers and fishing and timber companies to market their products, and to assure consumers that goods branded with the seal are genuine San Juan County products.

More information is available at www.sanjuanislands-made.com.

smoke and ash hung like a heavy fog. When the crew made their daily excursion to the line from their base camp in Curlew, columns of smoke rose up around them.

“We’re firefighters, it’s what we do,” Lean said. “I mean for some strange reason firefighters like fire, we’re crazy. Everyone runs away from a burning build-ing and we run towards it.”

Tragedy hitsLean and Monin were

both in the field when three

firefighters were killed near Twisp Aug. 19, and a fourth was taken to Harborview Medical for severe burns.

“The fire service is a big family, so even if you don’t know the people directly, you know people who know them,” Monin said. “Even in the case that it’s a remote incident, in another state or whatever else, it’s still a big impact because everyone in that industry knows what the job is, understands the risk involved, and it could be anybody. Yeah it really, definitely, that day that we heard about it, it was not a good day.”

Smith said that the fire-fighter’s deaths affected the area that he is working in as

well, and he’s seen a num-ber of hand-made signs thanking the firefighters.

“There is gratitude for the work of saving property and sorrow for the loss of the three young fire fight-ers,” Smith wrote.

Though the work was demanding, Monin said there was also difficulty in leaving the fires.

“We want to stay until the job is complete, and a lot of times you don’t get to do that,” Monin said. “All that work that we do, you don’t get to see if it works, did the line hold? Did what we planned and implemented, did it work? Or was it a problem? There’s a lot of unknowns when you leave a fire.”

There are 11 large-scale fires in Washington burn-ing 904,300 acres as of Sept. 4, according to the National Interagency Fire Center, which gives daily updates. Nationwide from the begin-ning of the year, fires have burned over 8,995,000 acres, more than any year in the past 10 years.

The Kettle Complex that Lean and Monin worked on currently has 914 per-sonnel working on it, and is at 76,540 acres. The wet weather and cooler temper-atures from the past week have helped efforts to a degree, though weather can be unpredictable.

Monin and Lean said that locals can help by volun-teering locally for San Juan Fire and Rescue, because more hands here means they can send more profes-sionals out into the field to help. Monin also wanted to thank the communities and community leaders for assisting the firefighters with supplies and resources.

Maria Small, 68, of Friday Harbor who volunteers with the Red Cross was sta-tioned in Wenatchee, and responded that she, too, saw an out pour of support.

“In crisis situations peo-ple open their hearts,” Small said.

Small said the most touching story she heard was an elderly woman and her daughter who made a thousand peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and then took them to a local food bank volunteer, who had a brother fire fighting on the line. The volunteer hand delivered the sandwiches to the workers.

“There were many situa-tions involving these kind hearted folks who wanted to help,” Small said, adding that people donated cloth-ing, food and water to the shelters.

— Submitted by Michelle LoftusI am Dr. Michelle Loftus. When I am Hospital District

commissioner I will bring not only administrative experi-ence to the district but also managerial, business, political and medical knowledge. I will carefully review the twice yearly reports of public funds use. My oversight will be fair and inclusive of all parts of our community.

I will support EMS by developing a public relations campaign explaining the need to have the 2016 EMS levy passed. The message is simple. If we don’t pass the levy in 2016, EMS goes away. That will not happen because I will explain the specific needs and costs to the community. It will be fiscally conservative and we will all feel comfortable about the decision.

I will also best relate to EMS needs as a member of the medical community. As a veterinarian I am trained in pub-lic health. I know the stress of providing emergency care to a patient. I know how to compartmentalize emotion to think straight and do my job. I know the toll such work can take on a person as well. I will be an asset to the EMS. I will not initiate a challenge of the district’s subsidy agreement with Peace Health nor will I attempt an amendment to force an abortion issue. District money would be better used in

providing EMS needs of staff and equipment. Peace Health money and time would be best used to provide our life com-forting services such as outpatient services, cancer/infusion care and emergency care instead of arguing a change in the agreement. I want to keep our tax money in the district and out of court. Presently women’s reproductive needs are well met in our district through private providers, Peace Island Medical Center and Planned Parenthood. Visit my Facebook page at “Loftus for Hospital Commissioner” for updates in this election. When I am hospital commissioner I will work diligently for our island’s security of quality health care. I would appreciate your vote Nov. 3.

Loftus for Hospital District Position 2

—Submitted by FRIENDSA barge arrived on Brown

Island in a downpour to unload equipment, shown left, and the removal of a rock bulkhead along three adjacent waterfront proper-ties was finally underway.

“It all started a few years ago when I saw a newsletter from FRIENDS of the San Juans on armoring and how it can degrade the beach, which was a huge shock to me. That’s when we decided to see what we could do to improve our beach” said Mariluz Villa, one of the property owners.

The armor removal

project, coordinated by FRIENDS of the San Juans, will unbury the upper beach, providing more usable space for property owners as well as the wild-life such as forage fish and juvenile salmon that depend on intact shoreline habitats.

“In San Juan County, there are hundreds of unnecessary structures like this one, placed in areas with low natural erosion rates. Hard structures not only have direct habitat impacts but also interrupt or change the actual pro-cesses that are essential to maintaining our beaches”

said Jim Johannessen, prin-cipal at Coastal Geologic Services and the restoration project designer.

Over the next week local contractor Carson Sprenger and his team at Rain Shadow Consulting will remove 175 cubic yards of rock from the project site, working carefully to retain existing trees and shrubs. Following bulkhead removal, the upper beach will be nour-ished with sand and small gravel. Native plants includ-ing dune grass, Nootka rose, ocean spray and snowberry will be planted by Barry Bartmasser of Naturescapes

Landscaping, a San Juan Island based firm. Project funding has been pro-vided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Puget Sound Estuary and Salmon Restoration Program, par-ticipating property owners and FRIENDS members.

For more information on FRIENDS beach restoration actions or what you can do to help protect shore-lines for people and nature, please visit our website at www.sanjuans.org or con-tact us directly at 360-378-2319.

Is “Island Time” a concern?

Is it just me, or does anyone else have trouble getting anything done on these islands? In San Juan County there seem to be two distinct groups of ser-vice providers: The first group returns phone calls promptly, are friendly, take pride in their work, provide quality goods and services for a reasonable price, and complete the job in a timely manner. The second group thinks getting back to you in two weeks is “returning” a phone call, maybe showing up is acceptable service and charging you more because you once lived in California is just punishment for past transgressions. To the first group, I say, “Thank You.” I will continue to patronize your business and tell peo-ple about you. To the second group, I say, “Remember that these are small islands and everyone knows every-one, and more importantly, everyone talks.”

The grange recognizes the importance of agricul-ture and food security in the sustainability of our island community. Many of our members are growers and use greenhouses for both home-use and for farm operations.

Greenhouses are essential infrastructure in order to extend the growing season, and for farmers to increase their income.

The grange has deter-mined that the July 21 proposed county code amendments and new sec-tions would place an undue burden on both home and commercial growers who depend upon the use of greenhouses. Furthermore, the proposed code amend-ments and new sections are in conflict with county code 18.30.052 Right to farm and forestry provisions, and are also contrary to the Economic Development Element’s goals and actions in support of agriculture, as adopted unanimously by the current council.

We appreciate that some neighbors of greenhouses have experienced impacts related to artificial light emissions, the size and/or scale of the structure, noise, and odors. We recognize

that these same impacts have also been experienced by neighbors with regard to other types of structures and associated activities.

The grange asks that if these issues are addressed that they be addressed by amending the existing sec-tions of the code for all structures.

This community has deep roots in a rural, agrarian economy, and if we want to stay connected to our heri-tage, we need to welcome the active agricultural use of our neighbors’ properties.

The grange applauds efforts to increase our abil-ity to grow our own food.

THE SJI GRANGE #966 EXECUTIVE

COMMITTEE

Thank you We would like to take this

opportunity to thank our community of friends and family both near and far for the love and support they have sent our way.

To each and every one of you who volunteered to help with the benefit, we are appreciative of your amaz-ing efforts creating such a wonderful event.

We are touched by your generosity. We would love to take the time to express

our deepest appreciation for all of you wonderful islanders who have donat-ed their services, gifts and talents. You are helping us stay focused on the fight while we are away at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.

With a grateful heart we are proud to be a part of this community

TERRY, JANIE OGLESan Juan Island

Teasdale over reaches

The only factual part of Janelle Teasdale’s recent rant again Monica Harrington is the fact that Harrington is indeed running for a seat on the Public Hospital District Commission.

Harrington is not push-ing for Peace Health to have abortions here.

What Harrington has said, in writing, is:

“I support the Reproductive Privacy Act and I believe reproductive health care services should be supported with our local tax dollars. If PIMC chooses not to provide prenatal care or other reproductive health services, then the SJPHD should be able to contract with providers who will. It doesn’t mean babies should be delivered on island regu-larly, but it does mean we should support prenatal care services that can be delivered safely and cost-effectively on-island. We all have a stake in support-ing healthier pregnancies and in doing what we can to reduce the rate of unin-tended pregnancy”.

Harrington is not push-ing for Peace Health to assist

people in their own suicide. What Harrington has said, and put in writing, is:

“I support the Death with Dignity Act and I believe the SJPHD should sup-port expanded end-of-life services. … I know how important it is that patients have access to palliative care and that providers be ready and able to provide clear, unambiguous information on Death with Dignity.”

In other words, Monica Harrington supports the two acts that San Juan Islanders approved over-whelmingly in recent elec-tions. To try and say other-wise is politically dishonest and I urge both Teasdale and Ledford to step back from such unethical cam-paigning.

Guest column

By Jenny Roberts, Science Outreach Program director and Rachel Anderson, Lab Asst. Director for Advancement

Aug. 22 was a beautiful sum-mer evening for the University of Washington Friday Harbor Labs’ 15th annual fundraising event Jazz at the Labs in support of the Friday Harbor Labs K-12 Science Outreach Program. Derek

Smith, University of Washington doctorate candidate and Director of Friday Harbor High School’s new STEM program, was enthusi-astic about the science experiences that the program offers San Juan Island students. He also helped col-lect donations from the audience who kindly supported two differ-ent Fund-a-Need projects for the 2015 school year: Diver for a Day

Program and the Invasive Mussel Project. Thank you Derek for your animated and effective fun-draising style! The Friday Harbor Labs Science Outreach Program is a partnership (established 2001) between the University of Washington Friday Harbor Labs, the San Juan Island School District and Spring Street International School. In its 14th year, the pro-

gram worked with more than 735 local students and 23 teach-ers reaching students in every grade. The program focuses on getting students actively engaged in the process of science. We have developed a set of hands-on, inquiry-based projects spe-cifically designed to complement and enhance the current sci-ence curriculum at local schools.

Our program gives students the opportunity to ask questions and participate in experiments and fieldwork so they realize that they themselves are scientists.In addition to great jazz, fabu-lous food, and the Fund-a-Need event, we gratefully acknowledged and thanked our generous spon-sors. New this year: Coldwell Banker SJI, Friday Harbor Art Galleries, King’s Market, Mike’s Café and Wine Bar and San Juan Interior. And our returning, mul-

Editorial

Bagby named Journal editor

Cali Bagby has been named editor of the Journal of the San Juans. She will continue to publish the Islands’ Weekly on Lopez in addition to her new position.

“Cali has been a tremendous asset to our newspapers, and I am so thrilled she is bringing her talents to the Journal,” said Group Publisher

Colleen Smith Armstrong. “She has been interim editor for the past few months, and the Journal has grown under her lead-ership.”

Bagby originally came to the islands in 2011 as a reporter at the Journal and editor of the Weekly. She then moved on

to become the assistant editor of the Sounder on Orcas in 2012.

Prior to coming to the islands, Bagby worked for nearly two years as an embedded journal-ist with a Medevac unit in Iraq and a Marine unit in Afghanistan. She also cut her reporting “teeth” on humanitarian issues in Bangladesh and Vietnam. In 2010 she co-documented a 2,000-mile bike trip from Colorado to Oregon for a Portland magazine.

“People often ask me how I found myself on the islands and there is no short story for that answer,” Bagby said. “I traveled for many years and experienced a lot of different situations, but at some point I felt compelled to stop moving and find a community. I love so many aspects of the island – from the richness of our parks and wildlife to the tight-knit community to the great arts surrounding us.”

Bagby will continue to live on Orcas Island and commute to San Juan Island.

If you have any news stories, ideas or com-ments, Bagby can be reached at 378-5696 or [email protected].

Guest column

By Auditor F. Milene Henley I should have had this

report done sooner. But what can I say? The San Juan County Fair happened, and I lost track of time.

I love the county fair. My addiction goes back to when my kids participated in 4-H, and we spent every waking minute there. This year, I did a little judging, but other than that, I had no real reason to be at the fair.

Sort of like tourists and this island. They don’t have to be here, but they come in droves, just because they like it (and thanks to the good work of the San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau and our chambers of com-merce). There have been so many of them this summer, it’s been tough to navigate the streets of Friday Harbor. So I was not surprised when a friend approached me at the fair and said, “The streets are so busy – sure-

ly that means things are improving.”

Yes, things are improv-ing. To demonstrate that, consider “gross business income.” Gross business income is the gross reve-nue reported by businesses with zip codes in San Juan County. It does not include income to mainland cor-porations with operations in the county. So while an imperfect measure of busi-ness in the county, it is a better measure than tax-able sales – which is what I usually look at – because it includes industries which are not subject to sales tax. (Taxable sales is a bet-ter measure of income to County government; GBI is a better measure of income to county residents.)

GBI in the first quar-ter (results for the second quarter are not yet avail-able) averaged almost 6 per-cent growth annually from

2012 to 2015. The largest growing (significant) sec-tors are “Lodging and Food Services” (9.5 percent), “Construction” (8.8 percent), “Finance, Insurance & Real Estate” (6.5 percent) and “Retail Trade” (5.4 percent).

Almost all sectors have grown, even the locally small ones such as “Education Services” and “Information” – which averaged 51 per-cent and 48 percent, respectively, annual growth over the last three years. Only “Wholesale Trade,” “Other Services and Public Administration,” and “Ag/Forest/Fishing and Mining/Quarr ying/Extract ing” shrank since 2012.

With all this good news, you must be asking your-self why I’m always whining about county revenues not keeping up with expendi-tures. The principal sources of county government rev-enue are property tax and

sales tax (40 percent and 31 percent respectively, of total general fund revenue). Property tax grows about 2% per year, including the adder for new construc-tion. Sales tax grows with the economy, which of late, has been really great. All other revenue sources, however, are growing either insignificantly or in concert with the cost of the services that generate the revenue. In fact, limitations on the growth of county revenues are dominating budget dis-cussions this year. I’ll get into more of this revenue discussion next quarter, at which time we’ll be in the thick of adopting the 2016 county budget.

Which takes me back to the county fair. How does that take me back to the county fair? It doesn’t mat-ter – I don’t need a reason to go back to the county fair.

PUBLIC MEETINGS

—Submitted by San Juan Island School District Concussion Committee(This is part one of a two-part series)

The San Juan Island School District and the sports community are in the process of improving procedures for concussions.

The tragic effects among profes-sional athletes have focused national media on concussions. Locally, the concern is the treatment of our chil-dren and addressing misconceptions about what concussions are and what the implications of these injuries are.

The brain is a gelatinous supercom-puter in a bone box. When a blow occurs, it bumps about inside the box. The blows come from any number of sources: the ground, a car windshield, another head, or a helmet.

Even protective head gear cannot stop the rattling and bruising of the brain. In the young adult, this fragile instrument is growing and changing. During a concussion tenuous con-nections get stretched, micro-bruised and sometimes broken. Nothing may appear to be wrong.

Helmets do dampen severe injuries so tests such as CT scans and MRIs can

give a false “normal” result. Damage ranges from briefly “seeing

stars” to dizziness, confusion, memory loss, or unconsciousness. Too often in the past, only the most obvious symp-toms were taken seriously, and the child resumed their individual activity or was put back in the game.

Most kids who resume their activi-ties are fine after a concussion. But many have persistent effects. They may have trouble paying attention, become distractible, and have fatigue, dizziness, headaches, blurred vision, nausea, and surges of emotion.

Bright lights, loud noises, and screen exposure may worsen these symptoms. Such problems may con-tinue for weeks or months resulting in major impacts in school and daily life.

Another blow to the head soon after the first can be disastrously life chang-ing. This happened to Tahoma high school student Zachary Lystedt who became permanently disabled follow-ing a second concussion.

His parents championed legislation culminating in Washington becoming the first in the nation to legislate what is needed for a child to resume school

sports: now, only a medical profes-sional can permit a child to return to play. Because less than half of youth aged concussions happen in super-vised sports, a tracking and manage-ment system to capture all concussions is the logical next step.

From November 2011 to August 2015, San Juan Health Care treated 30 childhood concussions; seven were repeats. Of the 37 events, 17 occurred during school sports but 20 happened elsewhere including falls from horses, automobile accidents, and trampoline injuries.

Half had rapid resolution while the other half had symptoms lasting long enough to require temporary modi-fication of their school program. A quarter had findings lasting months to years. This is an under count as there is no community wide data base of concussions.

Neither are there uniform methods to determine exclusion or approval for full participation.

Next week, Part Two will continue the discussion on concussion.

We were thrilled to have the San Juan Jazz Quintet,

Seattle’s Jazz Coalescence and NPR’s Dick Stein return to share their talents with the attendees.

FHLSOP also acknowledged the invaluable support from Rebecca and Robert Pohlad, Dr. Carolyn Haugen, the Wells Fargo Foundation, the San Juan Island Community Foundation & Women’s Fund, the Port of Friday Harbor and the Friday Harbor Elementary School PTA. Thank you, again!

We are committed to bring this important outreach program to the local schools and it is a true plea-

sure to work with all the individuals involved. A favorite comment this past year was from a biology student, who after completing the Invasive Mussel Project, said:

“Greatest Lab Ever! No, seriously, I did enjoy it. I felt like a scientist using these crazy cool micropipettes and I learned a lot.”

We hope to see you at the 16th annual Jazz at the Labs event in 2016. Thanks to all our supporters, to those involved with our fundraiser, as well as the teachers and individuals who sup-port the Science Outreach Program.

Roger Sandwith Loring

April 21, 1931 – July 24, 2015

Roger was born April 21, 1931 to Roger Sheaffe Loring, D.D.S. and Phebe Sandwith Loring. He joined sister, Margaret and brother, James or “Bud.”

He spent most of his youth working on local fish-ing boats in the summer with his friends. He spent one summer working at the University of Washington Labs.

He graduated from Friday Harbor High School where he was a member of an award winning basket-ball team, and started col-lege at Western Washington University in Bellingham.

When the Korean War broke out, Roger joined the Navy. On completion of his service, he again attend-ed Western Washington University and graduated as a high school math and sci-ence teacher.

Roger was a skin diver for most of his adult life. At age 26, he bought the equipment and without any training taught himself how to dive.

He was teaching and coaching junior high bas-ketball, when on summer break he met his wife, Lynn,

in Friday Harbor. They were married in August and returned to Bellevue for Roger’s last year of teaching there.

The next summer they moved back to Friday Harbor. Roger taught math and science for 21 years at Friday Harbor High School until his retirement in 1986. He enjoyed his teaching and basketball coaching and was pleased that in some cases he was teaching the children of his childhood friends.

He and fellow teacher, Karl Grossarth, were the first local summer rangers at American and English camps.

He was a past master of the local chapter of the Masonic Lodge.

He was a 60 year member of the American Legion.

The following was written by his longtime friend and fellow teacher in Bellevue, Gene Paterson:

Roger At 70Here is to you:Watcher of clouds, pet-

ter of cats, shucker of shell-fish, lover of dogs, cutter of wood, walker of paths, catcher of crab, troller of

salmon, diver of seas – Your are always up to something.

Here is to you:Keeper of history, collec-

tor of artifacts, teller of tales, tender of gardens, gaffler of flotsom and jetsom, knower of mysteries of nature – Your days are full.

Here is to you:Responsible citizen,

teacher of youth, coach and competitor, kind tutor, booster of goals – You leave quite a mark.

Here is to you:Civic activities, serious

thinker, contributor, letter writer, rambunctious debat-er – You are a force for the good.

Here is to you:You served your country,

touched the lives of hun-dreds of students, been a loving and loyal husband, won a community’s respect, served your Masonic Brothers and keep on mak-ing society a better please.

You, our good and noble friend, have made a differ-ence. No one can ask for more than that.

He and his wife celebrat-ed 50 years of marriage last year. Roger was 84 years old.

He is survived by his wife, Lynn, stepdaughter Lisa, niece Phebe Smith and her family, and nephew James Loring.

Roger has been cremated. His ashes will be buried at the Valley Cemetery on Saturday, Sept. 12, at 1 p.m. Celebrations of his life will follow at the Masonic Lodge and the American Legion Club. Friends and family are invited to attend.

ISLAND SCENE


People often hope to have a lasting impact on the communities they live in, whether it’s through affect-

ing people through actions or words, or effecting change through policy, teamwork or otherwise.

TEDxSanJuanIsland will be celebrating both efforts in their debut event Sept. 20 with the theme “Affect/Effect: How do we create change?” a day-long affair featuring 14 local and global presenters. It will also showcase music from local talent Tashi and Kaj Litch in their band Brother For Sale, as well as a tour of the Friday Harbor High School STEM Center that opened this year.

“The theme is designed to reflect the ranges of ways that people can be change-makers, from leaders who take center stage to the quiet achievers whose ideas and contributions spark ripple effects the lead to enduring change,” said Megan Mulhall of the organizing committee. “The theme also has a secondary, more simplistic interpretation, which is simply that when someone affects another person or com-munity, there is always a consequence or effect.”

The event has nine local speakers from San Juan Island and five from the Pacific Northwest and further afield. Gretchen

Krampf, above, of Orcas Island will be pre-senting this year and was involved with the TEDx event last year on Orcas Island. Krampf, who has lived on Orcas for 27 years, is chairwoman of Leadership San Juan Island and Director of NewStories Thriving Salish Sea Project.

“I’m speaking about what creates a thriving, resilient community and it’s a bit about what I’ve worked on over the past five years in those areas of commu-nity development and leadership,” Krampf said. “I bring a real local perspective on the impact that each of us can have when we are a part of our community — that individual contributing to the betterment of the whole.”

Krampf said she looks forward to seeing

the San Juan version of TEDx and for a day full of shared ideas.

Ian Boyden, above, executive director at San Juan Islands Museum of Art will be presenting a piece of art that he has been working on for five years.

“As an artist I’m really interested in the intersections of art and ecology, art and the environment,” Boyden, pictured at left, said. “So both my work as an artist and my work at IMA are looking at how art can function as a medium or a catalyst for creating awareness and change in terms of our relationship to the larger environ-ment.”

Boyden said that he’s looking forward to hearing the essence of everyone’s ideas in their eighteen minute presentation, almost

an elevator pitch compared to what some presenters are used to.

“I’m actually learning quite a lot in the process of whittling my talk down as to what is truly the essential information and what is the information that pads things or provides context,” Boyden said.

In addition to Megan Mulhall on the organizing committee is David Mulhall and Gary Franklin. The three got the idea to do a TEDx talk after discussing how much they miss the atmosphere of college towns and the free exchange of topics in a multitude of forums.

“What really excited me about it but never ceases to amaze me is how wealthy the community is in terms of creative discourse and sources of ideas,” Megan Mulhall said of the San Juans.

The three hope to “foster the TED com-munity over time” by having the event in the fall on a yearly basis, while Orcas Island will have their TEDx in the spring, Mulhall said. By drawing annual interest, they hope to offer more presenters, more tickets, and a bigger venue.

Tickets for the Sept. 20 event are avail-able for sale on their website tedxsanjua-nisland.com or at San Juan Community Theatre at sjctheatre.com, or call (360) 378-3210. Tickets are only available for pre-sale and are not available at the door the day of the event.

Talks focus on the importance of affecting change by having a positive effect on communities


Marguerite Place sidewalk restoration

Mobilization and con-struction began Sept. 3.

The portion of Marguerite Place between Park Street and Guard Street will be closed to through traffic until the bulk of construc-tion is complete. Local access will remain open, however neighbors should anticipate delays during cer-tain portions of construc-tion.

The contractor, Mike Carlson Enterprises, will provide reasonable notice to neighboring properties

when delays are to occur.The project includes

reconstruction of the Marguerite Place and Park Street intersection. The public is asked to utilize alternative routes to avoid unnecessary

Contact Town Hall at (360) 378-2810 with ques-tions or comments.

Movies in the Park: ‘The Wizard of Oz’

For Sept. 12, Island Rec will be showing Wizard of Oz. When a tornado rips through Kansas, Dorothy (Judy Garland) and her dog,Toto, are whisked away

in their house to the magi-cal land of Oz.

The movie should begin at about 8:15 p.m. but come early for trivia and prizes. Friends and Neighbors of Island Rec sponsors this event. The Sept. 19 movie will be Remember the Titans. Go to www.island-rec.org or call Island Rec at 378-4953 for more informa-tion. Bring blankets or lawn chairs. No alcohol please.

Historic sunset cruise tour

Enjoy a sunset cruise on Griffin Bay and learn some history along the way from

Capt. Greg Hertel aboard The Bee, a classic Grand Banks trawler yacht.

Capt. Hertel will delve into the history of Griffin Bay including the J. J. Theodore cannery, Old Argyle, Old Town at American Camp, Fish Creek and back into Friday Harbor past the shipyards and the old “Bug Station,” the original loca-tion of the University of Washington labs.

The duration of the cruise is two to three hours and will depart at 6 p.m. from

the Port of Friday Harbor. Cost is $69 per person, plus tax. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the San Juan Island Museum of History and Industry. Bring your favorite bever-age, learn some local history and enjoy a late summer evening.

After 25 years in the field of architecture as a designer and project manager work-ing with various building types, James Simmons tran-sitioned into teaching.

He brings his creativ-ity and building experience into the seventh and eighth grade classrooms in unique ways. He has been known to help his students develop computer games in order to improve their STEM and IT skills, or use the educational version of Minecraft to help students explore the mean-ing of literature.

His students have designed and built Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicles to clean up an oil spill simulated with popcorn. He helped his students build catapults as a fun way to get a hands-on feel for ballistics and to teach science and math.

Simmons has been teaching Alaskan Native Americans on a small island in the Bering Sea for the past two years. During this time on the Pribiloff Island of St. Paul,

he taught grades two through four, sixth, seventh and 12th.

Simmons holds a bachelor of science in architecture, bachelor of arts in social sci-ence and a masters in archi-tecture.

He completed a post baccalaureate degree in education at University of Colorado Boulder. He is a former Scout Master, avid swimmer and sailing instruc-tor. He will be moving from Boulder, Colo. with his wife, Lisa, who will still be work-ing as a registered nurse.

Their labrador Nellie will be in charge of tak-

ing Simmons on walks and exercising his throwing arm.

They have 25-year-old twins, Haley and Carter. Haley is married and lives in Nashville, Tenn. Carter is living in Boulder, Colo.

Simmons is excited to teach in a Christian environment that allows him to be a light in his classroom and community.

The Town of Friday Harbor has presented its Civic Pride Award to John and Marilyn Gresseth for their careful and thoughtful rehabilitation of the historic red house at the cor-ner of Guard Street and Tucker Avenue.

This 1910 home, located at 590 Guard Street, anchors a highly visible neighborhood within the town’s historic district and is one of several properties currently undergoing renovation on that block.

“The revitalization of this neighborhood is invaluable to the community,” said Town Administrator Duncan Wilson. He added that the attention to detail, authenticity and landscaping contribute to the history and beauty of the area.

This is the fifth Civic Pride award bestowed by the town since the program was instituted last year. The award is intended to recognize those citizens who have made an exceptional effort and investment in beautifying the community. The Gresseths and their sons Lars and Erik have relocated Gresseth Architects LLP to the property. John Gresseth moved his firm, founded in 1981, from Seattle to Friday Harbor in 1998.
