Three marijuana retail stores will be permitted in San Juan County, one each on Orcas, San Juan and Lopez islands, under reg-ulations proposed Sept. 4 by the Washington State Liquor Control Board to implement Initiative 502, which legalizes marijuana produc-tion, processing and retailing.

San Juan County Prosecuting Attorney Randall Gaylord said, “I think it is appropriate to make a limit of one retail store for the three major ferry served islands.”

The regulations are being pro-posed under provisions of I-502, approved in November by 54 per-cent of the state’s voters. San Juan County had the largest margin of county approval in the state, 68 percent; Waldron Island appar-ently had the largest precinct approval in the state, 85 percent.

The proposed regulations are required to be in effect by Dec. 1, but the liquor board has not announced when marijuana stores can begin operations. The regula-tions can be found at lcb.app.box.com/proposed-rules-9-4-13.

The LCB proposes licensing 334 retail locations in the state, allo-cated on the basis of population per county and with some allow-

Major reductions in three San Juan County building and land use fees are on the Sept. 10 county council public hearing and action agenda.

The building permit code determination appeal fee and the administrative determination appeal fee are being reduced from $2,300 to $600; the open space current-use assessment reduction application fee is being cut in half, from $4,060 to $2,030.

The code and administrative determination fees are assessed against a property owner or an inter-venor who appeals a determination by the coun-ty’s Department of Community Development and Planning that a permit should or should not be issued.

The appeals are heard by the county hearings examiner.

The appeal fee reductions are accompanied by a new provision, required by a recent court case, that removes all fees for appeals of a notice of violation, stop work order, or suspension or revocation of a permit. Under current law, if the property owner or intervenor prevails, the appeal fees are refunded.

The current-use assessment reduction appli-cation fee is charged when a property owner applies to the county for an open space property tax assessment based on “current use” valuation rather that the standard “highest and best use” that normally applies. Both the current use and the similar designated forest land programs were started 30 years ago in accordance with state laws intended to encourage property owners to keep property undeveloped or in use as a farm or as timberland.

John was born Jan. 8, 1980, on a quiet beautiful snowy morning to Sam and Jane Buck in Mount Vernon, Wash, and he departed Aug. 13, 2013, on a very calm morning, sitting on a beach with a heavenly view, just after a beauti-ful sunrise.

Before John turned six years old, he had lived on Orcas Island, in Seattle, and these California locations: San Rafael, Calistoga, Rancho Sierra, Murrieta Hot Springs, as well as New Zealand.

While on the ferry traveling to Steve and Laurie’s wed-ding, 7-year-old John, said, “Can we live here?”, and shortly thereafter we were islanders again.

John graduated from Friday Harbor High School in 1998 after six seasons of football, his favorite sport. He went with a local group of volunteers to help islanders off the coast of Honduras recover from a devastating hurricane.

John passed the rigorous “ski patrol” classes at Mount Baker, where he worked for a season and moved to Colorado to live the ski patrol life, where he met and fell in love with Laura Bell from New Zealand. She was on a trip around the world with her cousin, and when they left for England, heart broken John just had to follow, where they worked together in a pub.

They eventually returned to the mountains of Utah, married, and returned to make Friday Harbor their home, where they home-birthed their two beautiful children, Indigo Rose Aurora Buck (9), and Solomon Sealth Buck (7) - 5th generation islanders.

John really appreciated being able to learn how to work with stone from Dave Koch, and construction from Peter Kilpatrick, and he really enjoyed their crews. John was an artist at heart and felt the need to express that artistic free-dom as can only be done when one is working directly with the client. He started Island Custom Stone & Woodworks.

He loved sharing and developing his ideas and his clients really appreciated his touch. John’s love of community, creative drive and collaboration with his grandfather led to development of “The Knoll”. It became a place for all

to gather for music, dance, good home-made beer and delicious home-made pizza from the cob ovens that he, and those close to him, cre-ated. He overcame his shy nature enough to play the “washtub bass” with two dear friends in their newly formed band.

He was a loving husband, dad and cook. He loved thinking up creative “to do” ideas, making beautiful things out of nature. John loved skiing, Tuesday night poker, Frisbee golf, music, music, music, good vegetari-an food, concerts, and music festivals. Did we mention

music and more music! He was loved and respected by his co-workers, employers and he had sooooo many friends.

John is survived by his wife Laura, children Indigo and Solomon, parents Sam and Jane, brother Charlie, grand-parents Sam and Barbara Buck, seven aunts and uncles and many loving cousins and friends. A fund has been set up for any who would like to contribute to benefit their children.

Our family would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for all of the hugs, beautiful cards and flow-ers, prayers, inspirational words, assistance with John’s “Celebration of Life” event, delicious meals, and for walking this journey with us together.

Thank you for sharing this experience with us in so many heartfelt ways. Our island family and beyond is so special to us and we thank you again from our island heart and home to yours.

The recent discovery of two colonies of feral cats has left the Friday Harbor Animal Protection Society "cash-strapped" and seeking help.

What started as two or three cats rapidly became full-blown colonies of over 30 cats in each, with several preg-nant females as part of that count. According to Rina Tappan, APS shelter employee, “Many of these cats and kit-tens have upper respiratory issues or other health problems and all of them need to be spayed or neutered”.

Some progress has been made by removing some of the tamer cats and kittens from one of the colonies, but those are believed to be just the tip of the iceberg, according to APS.

The first four cats, all females about 4-months old, have received veterinary care and have been spayed at a local veterinary clinic. A female and seven of her kittens were recently removed from that same colony and will be relocat-

ed to the Orcas Island APS.The two colonies promise

to be a long-term project for the shelter – at least 40 other cats and kittens must be spayed or neutered and then either returned to the colony they came from or placed up for adoption if they prove to be tame.

“This is a huge financial burden on our organization, but it’s also one of the reasons why we are here.” said shelter Director Leslie Byron. “Aside from the veterinary expense, there is also the cost of feeding, housing and transporting all these cats, not to mention the ongoing expense of pro-viding food for those cats who are too wild to be placed in homes and must be returned to where they came from.”

APS is seeking donations to help off-set the cost of caring for these cats. Islanders in need of a barn cat are encouraged to contact the shelter, 378-2158; donations can be delivered to the shelter, 111 Shelter Road, or made online at, www.apsfh.com.

Zalmanek, there are 685 parcels of property in the county which benefit from the current-use program and an additional 486 par-cels in the similar desig-nated forestland program. The total number of acres in all county special assess-ment programs is about 31,900 acres, which rep-resents 29 percent of the county’s total 110,198 acres.

With tax exempt acres such as parks and other pub-lic lands added in, almost 50 percent of properties in the county are either not taxed at all or receive current use assessment benefits.

Zalmanek pointed out that property tax exemp-tions and reductions mean that other property owners’ tax valuations are increased

to make up for those reduced valuations.

In addition to the open space assessment reduction, the county also has current use assessment reduction fees for agriculture and farm use and a separate program for timber land.

The fees for these appli-cations are now $250 and $3,150, respectively, and are not being changed.

Councilman Rick Hughes proposed the fee reductions after investigating com-plaints from property own-ers. Hughes also intends to simplify all the build-ing codes and regulations, which will take substantially longer to prepare and enact.

Local art organization seeks board members

It's a well known fact that frequent association with like-minded people and involvement in the routine day-to-day affairs of well run, clearly focused organizations, can often result in marked improvement in one's knowl-edge of and performance within a defined field of interest.

The Island Arts League is such an organization: focused on promotion of art on San Juan Island through sched-

uling of a wide variety of art classes for adults throughout the year.

IAL is widely known for their popu-lar Art Raffle booth at the county fair, which provides funding of art scholar-ships to graduating seniors.

The opportunity to participate in such an association and administra-tive affairs is here and now. There are several positions on the board and various commit-tees being vacated through retire-ment.

Replacements are needed immedi-ately.

Support the Arts League and enhance your artistic skills at the same time.

Call membership director, Marie DiCristina 378-7595 or email IslandArtsLeague@gmail.com for details of how you can participate.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY

Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for EA-18G Growler Airfield Operations at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Oak Harbor, Washington.

The U.S. Department of the Navy (Navy) announces its intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for EA-18G Growler Airfield Operations at Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island, Oak Harbor, Washington. The EIS will evaluate the potential environmental effects associated with ongoing EA-18G Growler airfield operations at NAS Whidbey Island’s Ault Field and Outlying Land-ing Field (OLF) Coupeville, including the proposed introduction of two additional expeditionary squadrons and the addition of aircraft to the Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS). In 2005 and 2012, the Navy prepared environmental analyses pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for the replacement of the EA-6B Prowler aircraft with the newer EA-18G Growler aircraft at NAS Whidbey Island.

The scoping process will be used to identify community concerns and local issues to be addressed in the EIS. Three open house information sessions will be held between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on the following dates:

• Tuesday, December 3, 2013 at Coupeville High School (Commons Area), 501 South Main Street, Coupeville, Washington 98239; • Wednesday, December 4, 2013 at Oak Harbor High School (Student Union Building), 1 Wildcat Way, Oak Harbor, Washington 98277; and• Thursday, December 5, 2013 at Anacortes Middle School (Cafeteria), 2202 M Avenue, Anacortes, Washington 98221.

The meetings will be an open house format with informational displays and materials available for public review. There will be no formal presentations. Navy staff will be present to answer general questions on the action and the EIS process.

To be included on the Navy’s mailing list for the EIS (or to receive a CD copy of the Draft EIS), submit an electronic request through the project email address, WhidbeyEIS@navy.mil or a written request to: EA-18G EIS Project Manager (Code EV21/SS); Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic, 6506 Hampton Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23508.

ance for projected con-sumption. Under the LCB proposal, King County will have 61 stores, Snohomish County 35 stores, Skagit County 10 and Whatcom County 15. Neither growers nor processors are permit-ted to be licensed as mari-juana retailers. If more than one applicant applies for a license in a given jurisdic-tion, licenses will be award-ed on a lottery basis.

Siting of retail locations, like the siting of liquor stores, will be subject to public comment and to a setback of 1,000 feet from a school, playground, public

park, public transit center, or library.

“I think when people map out the 1,000 foot setback from schools and parks, the areas where a retail store may go will be quite limit-ed,” Gaylord said of the set-back. “With few locations, it will be easier to assure marijuana is not distributed to or used by minors.”

Advertising and display of marijuana in retail loca-tions is limited; on-prem-ises consumption, or even opening of packages, will not be permitted. Retail packages will be limited to one ounce of “useable mari-juana”, 16 ounces of solid marijuana-infused products or 72 ounces of marijuana-infused liquid.

Combination public retail stores and medi-cal marijuana stores will not be permitted. Non-residents will be permit-ted to purchase and use marijuana in the state, but

export from Washington will be illegal.

The state’s Office of Financial Management fis-cal impact statement places a price estimate of a $3 per gram producer price, a $6 per gram processor price and a pre-tax $12 per gram average retail purchase price. Estimates of state revenue generation from all sources, including 25 percent excise taxes at the production, processing and retail levels, range up to $2 billion in the first five years of retail sales.

The County Council put the matter on their agen-da for discussion with the prosecutor and sheriff at 2 p.m. on Sept. 24.

Gaylord would not say whether local governments could ban placement of stores in San Juan County by ordinance, but did say, “I will be closely following what is happening in other communities.”

Three:Continued from page 1

The Friday Harbor Town Council briefly discussed the prospect of retail marijuana stores in light of the state Liquor Control Board proposed rules issued Sept. 4.

Because siting a retail pot store with-in 1,000 feet of schools and other public facilities is prohibited, much of downtown Friday Harbor could be off-limits for retail pot stores, according to a memorandum and town map prepared by Mike Bertrand, town land use administrator.

Councilwoman Barbara Starr expressed her view that marijuana stores not be per-mitted in residential neighborhoods, a con-cern allayed when town attorney Adina Cunningham pointed out that the proposed regulations require that police have access to retail stores without U.S. constitutional Fourth Amendment impediments which apply to private residences.

Cunningham told the council she needed to review the latest proposed amendments and would offer the council a briefing of the new state law and "the pros and cons" on various alternative zoning amendments at a later council meeting.

Physics of Sports”. Then there were eight-grader Finn Cullen and fresh-man Yasmin Sarah, both of whom dove into the princi-ples of engineering design.

The summer before, Yasmin, a former local spelling bee champion, took a course entitled “Whodunit? Mystery and Suspense in Literature and Film” after being awarded a prior Hopkins Center Rural Connections Scholarship. She was one of only 40 students in the nation to receive that award.

Mayer beamed about her summer studies.

“It was truly a fantastic experience,” she said. “I learned more about physics in three weeks than I learned in one year at school.” Sarah

and Cullen were equally delighted about the summer Seattle University academic camp.

Gifted students are encouraged to apply for the CTY Talent search, a springboard to taking the college preparatory SAT test in grades seven and

eight. If a student’s SAT scores qualifies them for the Center for Talented Youth, they become eligi-ble throughout middle and high school years to attend summer course through the CTY summer programs and online.

Troubled souls, lives at stake in paradise

I so hope I’m wrong.Nationally there are

about 105 suicides a day or more than 38,000 annu-ally (2010 stats). If I did my math right, that breaks down to less than two sui-cides annually for a com-munity of 10,000.

I don’t know what the population of Friday Harbor is. However, in less than eight months we’ve experienced at least five. Isn’t that at least five times the national average?

I don’t know the answer. I do know there’s something definitely wrong here in paradise.

All I can say is simply we have to watch out a lot more for the welfare of our fami-lies, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and acquaintances.

We need to take a little extra time to stop and listen to what’s really going on. Lives are at stake.

Don’t be fooled by drums of war

Future Headlines: ‘Obama opens Pandora’s Box’. ‘Syria & Iran, its clos-est ally, fire back’.

One enormous difference here with recent previous “military action” is that Iraq and Iran were enemies, as are Russia and Afghanistan. Take a lesson from Vietnam and Korea: Don’t make an enemy with powerful allies.

Though 90 percent in the U.S. disagree, Obama insists firepower is the only resort?

And isn’t “military action” usually government speak for: Fire the torpedoes and bleep the consequences? Vietnam and Korean “mili-tary action” turned out so well, right?

We have to ask: Is this the time to defend America’s already tarnished credibil-ity? Chemical weapons were used in the 80s on Kurds in Iraq and we didn’t go to war then to defend international treaties.

Now is the time to write our representatives… or else Iraq and Afghanistan will look like mere walks in the park. An isolated and impulsive decision to poke the well-allied hornet nest of the world, especially when the U.S. is already war-wounded and econom-ically weary, will hurt… a lot.

Mr. President, if you love America, don’t act alone and provoke regimes and their stronger allies… some who hate us more than they love life itself.

Biased case made for air ambulance

As a nurse and the wife of a professional pilot, I am appalled at the continuous commercials masquerad-ing as Op-Eds in this paper touting the services of Island Air Ambulance (“Air Ambulance? It happens every-day”, Aug. 28, pg. 7), as if it were even remotely equal to the critical services pro-vided by AirLift Northwest.

I do not know what incentive Mr. Larry Wall may have toward pushing this minimal fixed-wing service, but my motivation as a nurse and mother is the best interest of the people

who live here. The use of a single-engine

Cessna 207 without anti-ice equipment and without the ability to fly direct to the rooftop of a major hospital is nothing but an emergen-cy backup for the primary helicopter-based services that has protected and saved the lives of San Juan island-ers for many years. Time is very often the only factor between life and death.

A clear example is the evacuation of Richard Bach, whose neurosurgeon Dr. Maier clearly stated “…that had it not been for the air-lift directly to the hospital, Bach would not have made it to the trauma center with-in the critical period of time for brain injuries called the ‘golden hour’.”

I was initially worried about living on an island and did my research. A single-engine, non de-iced Cessna is a laughable com-parison to a twin engine turbine-powered fully-deiced Turbo Commander which Airlift Northwest also has on standby.

As a full-time island resi-dent I am outraged that a biased decision would ever be made without my con-sent to call somebody other than Airlift Northwest.

Helping hands atwork countywide

Saturday, Sept. 14th is United Way Day of Caring.

Day of Caring is an annual event sponsored by United Way to further the spirit of volunteerism and to demonstrate what people working together for the community’s good can accomplish. Day of Caring

is also the kick-off event for United Way of San Juan County’s annual campaign. Volunteer activities are scheduled on Lopez, Orcas and San Juan islands.

Past participants have called Day of Caring “your way to show commitment to the community — with-out having to write a check or dig into your pockets”. Others have said, “The broad range of things the United Way helps support on all the islands is simply amazing.“

The day’s events include service projects designed to aid community members and programs that could benefit from a day’s work. In the past volunteers have given seniors and disabled community members assis-tance on home projects, attended to non-profit com-munity buildings, weeded and groomed the school gardens, along with numer-ous other accomplishments on local projects.

This year, on San Juan Island, volunteers will

paint the exterior of the bathrooms across from the Brickworks/Farmer’s Market, and will do land-scaping at Mullis Center. On Lopez, they will do landscaping at the Hamlet senior housing community, and at the Family Resource Center/Lopez Children’s Center. On Orcas, volun-teers will work at the ele-mentary school garden.

United Way is a local, nonprofit organization ded-icated to helping islanders most in need. They focus on programs for our chil-dren, families, the elderly, and disabled neighbors. Supporting United Way of San Juan County means helping over 5,000 local residents through 28 local non-profit agencies.

Get involved and volun-teer. Day of Caring will be much more productive and fun with your contribution. Contact unitedwaysjc@rockisland.com for more information.

Hospital board on hook for remedy

I recently attended the Aug. 28, Public Hospital District meeting.

As noted in the press, this meeting included a con-tentious comment period during discussion of the (attorney general) opinion requiring hospital districts to provide a full range of women’s reproductive health services. I believe this to be a critical issue facing the PHD board. As such, I addressed the board and the public with the fol-lowing comments.

First, I acknowledged that I am a candidate for the PHD board and as a former county council member I could feel the board’s pain being in the “hot seat.”

That said, I noted that this board oversees one of the best Emergency Medical Services in the country. In addition, I acknowledged that this board did find a

Editorial

Let’s do it rightThe Journal understands, and has reported on,

the desire of Port of Friday Harbor tenants to get back to work, and to get employees back

to work, at the fire-ravaged Spring Street Landing.Business owners, even those that were fully

insured, will never be able to recoup their losses, and one or more may never be back in business.

But we trust that nobody wants the Port to sac-rifice quality for speed. Take the opportunity to make that stretch of waterfront “the best it can be”.

Planning for the waterfront and the bulkhead began months ago. The port is finding a engineer to figure out what can be done — and where.

One commissioner has already mentioned mov-ing the building location closer to existing port buildings. A boardwalk from the Port offices to (and under) the ferry dock has been suggested. The planning process will take time — and thought. Two years or more may be required to do it right.

The property might be the most valuable open space in town, maybe even in the county. Stop, listen, and think to maximize that value for the future, and for all.

PUBLIC MEETINGS

The Steering Committee of the Friends of the Constitution condemn the possibility of United States military intervention into the civil war in Syria. The

letter printed below expresses our views and was emailed Sept. 3 to our Washington Congressional Delegation.

We urge your readers to contact Senator Maria Cantwell (202-224-3441), Senator Patty Murray (202-224-2621) and Representative Rick Larsen (202-225-2605) and to express their opposition to another unconstitutional and reckless war of choice:

Dear Senator Cantwell, Senator Murray; We, the Steering Committee of the “Friends of the

Constitution”, write to you as concerned citizens who have supported you in the past. We are not one-issue citizens. However, the clamor for another war of our choice, and more killing and destruction, no matter how limited, is of paramount importance to us.

A vote authorizing President Obama to take military action against Syria will lead us to actively oppose your future reelection. The sovereign nation of Syria is in the midst of a civil war. The tragic loss of life of both combat-ants and civilians, and the terrible destruction of population centers, demand a humanitarian and diplomatic response by all concerned governments.

The civil war does not pose any threat to the United States. The military involvement of this nation in the Syrian conflict would be an unconstitutional, reckless, and shame-ful decision. However, in defiance of the United Nations Charter, the wishes of the majority of the American citizen-ry, the majority of the world’s people and governments, and

without credible justifica-tion, President Obama, and his administrative spoke-persons, have sided with the insurgents and against the government of Syria.

President Obama has asked Congress to autho-rize the use of military force against the Syrian govern-ment based on the uncon-

firmed claim that the Syrian government used toxic gas as a weapon against “its own people”. President Obama earlier, unilaterally and foolishly, declared the use of gas a “red line” that required United States military intervention.

We recall all too well the lies and deceit that resulted in the unconstitutional, undeclared, and unnecessary wars of choice in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the disastrous interven-tion in the Libyan civil war.

We citizens live with the sorrow of the decade-long results of United States wars of choice: thousands of combatants, and civilian men women and children, killed, maimed, and wounded; emotional trauma beyond imagination among the survivors; destroyed infrastructure; continued violence pitting neighbor against neighbor; a countryside contami-nated with unexploded munitions and depleted uranium.

In addition, we suffer the loss of the moral and ethical standing of the United States throughout the world, and the ever-expanding recruitment of people who are willing to express their hatred for the United States.

Enough. Abide by your oath of office or “We the People” will

secure the leadership that the United States Constitution and United Nations Charter promise and which we strive to attain.

—Steering Committee, Friends of the Constitution, Friday Harbor Chapter

Repercussions for reckless decisionSyria: another unwarranted ‘war of choice’ threatens to undermine stature of the U.S. in the eyes of the world

As I See It

By Stephen Belluomini

My primary purpose in writ-ing this opinion is to high-light a significant flaw in the

shoreline permit process in San Juan County.

I am a Washington state-licensed engineering geologist and an islander who loves living here. In recent years I have been hired by a number of shore-line property owners to provide expert testimony regarding their shoreline projects. Geological assessments for docks and bulkheads are among the most common requests for my profes-sional services.

Unfortunately, too often it has been my experience that after a property owner has reached the point in the regulatory process where their permits have been fully approved by federal, tribal, state and county agencies, and after paying permit, legal, and techni-cal expert fees, they are challenged with an 11th hour appeal of their project.

The appealing parties have never

performed or acknowledged, as appro-priate, the validity of detailed site-specific studies at the permit location that serve as the basis for the permit approvals. Nonetheless, they intervene in the permit process, submit reams of largely irrelevant information to the hearing examiners, boards and judges, and burden landowners with costly appeals of one county approval after another.

Regardless of the facts in the case, their endgame is to make the cost of defense so burdensome that the prop-erty owner abandons their proposed project.

I have observed an appealing party file an irrelevant scientific paper based on studies done at locations as far away as Brunswick, England all the while failing to mention to the hear-

ing examiner or the shoreline com-missioners that their pile of paper has nothing to do with the proposed shoreline project. The reams of ran-dom and irrelevant scientific papers only serve to bewilder the hearing offi-cers or the Shoreline Hearing Board judges about the issues at hand--as they are apparently meant to.

Thank you for considering these points.

solution to our medical cen-ter crisis. Not everyone is currently happy with that outcome, but the board did accomplish something important for our commu-nity.

I think what we all want is the best medical care we can get. But what concerns me, and many in our com-munity, is the prospect of having religion play a role in our medical health care decision-making.

Regarding women’s reproductive health, we need to know the range of services currently being provided (the board was unsure on this when asked)

and then figure out how to provide what isn’t being currently provided. I am also concerned about the increased cost of essential medical services for every-one.

It is my belief that the AG opinion is likely to be challenged and could go all the way to the Supreme Court. Regardless, we need to decide how best to move forward to provide the medical services needed in our community.

Something I neglected to say at the meeting I’ll add here: The PHD needs to act in full compliance with State law. My website is howardrosenfeld.com.

Fall 2013 • Sports Preview

The Friday Harbor volleyball team will start the 2013 season with a number of assets on its side.

But a wealth of experience won’t be one them.

“We’re young,” said Head Coach Travis Mager, now in his 9th year at the helm. “It might take a little time until we get our feet under ourselves. But our team chemistry is very good.”

Chemistry, camaraderie, feistiness and a thirst for com-petition, Mager said those qualities stand out as hallmarks of this year’s squad. Although young overall, the players possess a collective grit that defies their age and should serve them well as they adapt to a higher level of competi-tion in the season’s early stages.

“This team plays a lot more scrappy than some of others we’ve had.”

That scrappiness has carried over from last year’s team. The 2012 senior-laden varsity squad finished the regular season with a winning record a year ago, at 9-8, one of the best won-loss marks in recent memory for the Friday Harbor volleyball program. They ended the season in a three-way tie for third place in league play.

But that was then. Only two players from last year’s starting rotation are

back in the lineup, and only one senior, Kendra Meeker. She’ll be joined both by first-ever varsity senior Amy Schimdt and by front-line players Allie Galt, a second-year starter who will be recuperating from an ankle injury early on, and by junior Maddie Williamson, who sat most of the last season with an ankle injury of her own.

Making the most of spirit and spunk will be all important for the 2013 Wolverines, with a roster that will rely on five sophomores to fill the gaps. While experience may be in short supply, the Wolverines do have numbers. Both the

varsity and junior varsity teams will have depth, as 21 girls turned out to play. And the success of last year’s team offers a tantalizing recipe for this year’s squad to follow.

The Wolverines open a 14-game regular-season schedule on the road, Sept. 12, against Northwest 1A/2B League rival Orcas Island. They face Division 1A foe Mount Baker, a potential playoff opponent, in their Sept. 24 home opener.

Mager will be counting on competitiveness and chemis-try to help the young Wolverines achieve another successful season.

“We may not be as talented or as athletic as some but this team likes to compete,” he said.

It’s been another pre-season scramble out on the Friday Harbor ten-

nis courts. Another scramble for

bodies, that is. “Here’s one of the old-

est athletic programs at the school and it’s dying,” said Head Coach Dick Barnes, who, just like a year ago, has been turning over every stone to field a team for what he hopes will be his 26th consecutive year at the helm. “If it does, who knows what’ll take to get it back.”

A year ago, Barnes, along with a pair of veteran play-

ers, pieced together a patch-work lineup of eight players by combing the halls of the high school for new recruits, enlisting newcomers from Spring Street International School, and by dipping into the middle school to entice an eighth grader to petition the governing body of the state’s high school sports so that he could compete at the high school ranks, which it did.

This year, the recruiting effort has not gone as well, Barnes said.

Only five players turned out for the 2013 team. And

after nearly two weeks of pre-season practice, the team still had only five.

A minimum of eight is needed just to fill all the

slots of any given match, two for singles and six for three teams of doubles.

Six starting seniors, including three 2012 first-team all-leagu-ers, will provide the leadership

and experience to win matches and move into post-season play,

That’s what second-year varsity coach Paul Hopkins has in mind.

“I really like this year’s squad,” Hopkins said. “They have the team cohesiveness, experience and desire to win that will make us competitive in every match.”

He’s not predicting any easy vic-tories, and he knows nobody “wins them all,” but Hopkins is confident the 18 varsity players want to improve on last year’s 8-9 won-loss record (6-2 in league). “Their experience gives the girls confidence, and I have confi-dence in this team,” he says.

The Friday Harbor football team will open the 2013 season in familiar fashion,

facing the Seahawks of Anacortes in the first game of the fall cam-paign for the second year in a row.

But after that, the similarity between this season and the last begins to fade. Friday Harbor not only commemorates 40 years of high school football with the

arrival of the 2013 season, but welcomes back to the sidelines the man who many have long known sim-ply as “Coach”, R i c h a r d Ledford, as commander-and-chief of the 2013 team as well.

L e d f o r d , who in his first tenure at the helm guided the Wolverines to back-to-back appearances in the 1A state tournament, does not appear to have lost one iota of his fiery edge during a five-year absence from the coaching ranks.

“We got nine opponents and I want to beat ‘em all,” he said. “Off the field I may be as mild man-

nered as they come, but on the field I’m probably as competitive a guy as there is.”

It’s that type of passion for the game and for competition itself that Ledford expects every player to bring to the field, and to bring on each and every down.

“It’s an ‘every play’ kind of game,” he said. “If you’re going to win you’ve got to play your best on every play.”

This year, a total of 50 players turned out for the football pro-gram. The roster features a num-ber of veteran players who helped carry the Wolverines to a 6-4 sea-son a year ago.

Senior Nathan Steenkolk, an all-league award-winner in 2012, will be back to carry the ball on the offensive end and to plug the gaps from his linebacker position on the defensive side of the ball. Seniors C.J. Woods and Peter Holt have shared quarterback duties

during pre-season workouts, and defensive ends Gabe Lawson and Nelson Wynn are back to attack

off the wings of the defensive line. Brandon Allen and Holt will join

players are the biggest soc-cer turnout ever, said JV coach Emily Carrington, who, along with Sarah Ware, Kevin Cullen and Phil Mayer comprise an experi-enced staff of assistants for head coach Hopkins.

All-league first team-ers Emma Brand, Emily Guard and Libby Snow are the nucleus of an athletic and versatile squad, but Hopkins insists all eleven starters, and their backups, contribute to team success.

“Spacing and communica-tion are so important in soc-cer,” he says. “Every player on the field has to be in position and maintain proper spac-

ing, and communicate con-stantly, to take advantage of opportunities as they arise.”

Defenders, mid-fielders and strikers, also called for-wards, often play the entire match at one position, but Hopkins says he may make “strategic changes” to take advantage of particular

match-ups or game circum-stances. And he may play both zone and man-to-man defense, though he would switch back and forth only rarely, he says.

He and goalie coach Mayer also must choose among three good goal-keepers for the Sept. 14

home opener against Lynden. “It’s a good prob-lem to have,” Hopkins says, “because goalkeeper is such an important position.”

Having an experienced team means there will be only one freshman on the varsity, Hopkins said, but he may promote a JV player or two during the season, part-ly because the JV team plays only six games, compared to 16 for the varsity squad.

Hopkins says he really enjoys coaching the team, and he knows that he, his coaches and his team really want to do well - and win.

“But it’s not just about win-ning,” he says, “It’s about play-ing as a team, about friend-ship and how to take a loss and how to handle a win.”

— Steve Wehrly

Steenkolk as mainstays of the Wolverines linebacker core, and Carson Brown and Oliver Webb are back to anchor the interior line.

With six or seven players set to start on both sides of the ball, Ledford expects to get a lot of bang for the buck from a core group of players as the rest are integrated into the game plan. Friday Harbor fans can expect the Wolverines to roll out a “balanced” approach — a mix of rushes and pass-es — on the offensive end.

“We’ve got a good running game and we’re working on an option and throwing game, but it hasn’t come along quite as quickly as we would’ve liked at this point,” he said.

On defense, Ledford and his coach-ing staff intend to shuffle players from

position to position until they find a lineup that works.

The Wolverines ended the 2012 sea-son with more wins than losses, at 6-4. Still, Ledford, who compiled a 43-20 won-loss record in his first tenure as head coach of the Wolverines (2001-2007), is taking no one for granted.

The road to success on the football field boils down to a simple strategy, he said.

Although Friday Harbor ended the 2012 with a winning record, Ledford, who compiled a record of 43-20 in his tenure as the Wolverines head coach, a six-year tour of duty, 2001-07, is taking no one for granted, even Anacortes, who the Wolverines shut-out 21-0 on the road in the last year’s season opener. The Seahawks will be in Friday Harbor for the opening game with a new head coach and a chip on their collective shoulder.

In the end, Ledford said the game

plan and road to success boils down to a very simple strategy.

“We’re going to find out our strengths and our weaknesses, and play to our strengths,” he said. “I’m optimistic that if we play with passion good things will happen.”

Friday Harbor would chalk up a forfeit in the loss column for any singles or doubles matchup it couldn’t compete in for lack of players.

While football almost always draws heavy numbers — 50 players turned out for the 2013 team — Barnes points to the fall soccer club that started up several years ago for an ero-sion of interest in joining the boys tennis team. Although the club disbanded this year, Barnes said the damage has been done.

“It got kids out of the habit of playing tennis,” he said.

The Wolverines are slated to open the season at home, Sept. 13, against Coupeville. Should a couple more players turn out, they would need two weeks of practice under their belts before being eligible for competition. Barnes said the likelihood that the first couple of matches will be postponed is high, if the season happens at all.

“If I can’t collect a few more guys I don’t know what we’ll do,” he said.

For senior Sean Hills, the team’s top singles player, a batch of forfeits sounds better than no season at all. A year ago, he came up just shy of clinching a berth in the Division 1A regional tournament.

“I’m fine with taking the forfeits and for us to just keep playing,” he said.

Along with Hills, the early season roster includes first-year player Isaiah Billings, a senior, sophomore James Ronhaar, and Spring Street’s Bruce Yao and Tiger Xu. The addition of a couple more players could make all the differ-ence for the season ahead.

What’s Happening!

See CAlendAr, Page 10

CalendarTug-of-war over truth, agri-business, science explored in TOC film seriespage 20

By Scott rasmussenJournal editor

The late summer harvest of today harkens back to an earlier era, a time when agricultural production was a necessity of survival and farms were anything but a hobby, when the joint-occupa-

tion of San Juan Island by military men of two nations set the stage for the island’s future development, and when the cultivation of natural resources of both land and sea left an indelible imprint on the island’s rural community and on the people that called it home.

From the Pig War to the heyday of farming (the San Juans were once known as the “Bread Basket” of Puget Sound), to the height of the island’s fishing industry and its rabbit roundups, the history and heritage of San Juan Island will take center stage at the San Juan County Pioneer Festival, Saturday, September 21, on the grounds of San Juan Island Historical Museum. Gates open at 10 a.m. ; admission is free, donations encouraged.

Co-sponsored by the Historical Museum, Friday Harbor Grange No. 225, Battery D Foundation, San Juan Island National Historical Park and this newspaper, the Journal of the San Juan Islands, the Pioneer Festival features presentations, events and demonstrations designed to showcase the experiences and the spirit of the early settler families and the life and time in which they lived.

Descendants of some of the island’s prominent pioneer families will be on hand to talk about the family’s legacy in the islands. Life during the Pig War era will be revisited through various demonstrations of music, blacksmithing and carpentry, as well as with demonstrations of black-powder rifled muskets and the firing of the Battery D howitzer cannon, which certainly commands its own attention. The intricacies of butter chu r n i ng ,

apple cider pressing, and spinning and weaving will also be on display.

Island history and heritage will be in the spotlight, but as with any “fes-tival”, the event also includes a wide array of fun-filled activities, such as three-legged races, cake walk, sack races and homemade fruit pie con-test. Break out your best recipe and enter to win; judging begins at 10:30 a.m.

An assortment of food items will be available for purchase, hot dogs, hamburgers, soft drinks and beer and wine, with proceeds benefit-ting the Historical Museum.

For more information, contact SJ H i s t o r i c a l M u s e u m , 378-3949, or visit www.sjmuseum.org.

Wolverines stumble in opener; 20-19

By Scott RasmussenJournal Editor

The Wolverines appeared poised to celebrate 40 years of football with a season-opening win, until a fourth-quarter interception deep in their opponents territory gave Anacortes a new lease on life.

With 68 seconds left in regulation, Seahawks quarter-back Jared Douglas hooked up with wide receiver Andrew Medalia for their second touchdown of the game to tie the score at 19 points apiece. Kicker Kyle Jones booted the extra-point through the uprights to give Anacortes its first lead of the non-league contest, capping a come-from-behind 20-19 victory, Friday, on the Wolverines home field.

With the win, the Seahawks avenged a 21-0 loss in their season opener at home a year ago against the Wolverines.

“We were not in the kind of game condition we should have been,” said Head Coach Richard Ledford, making his debut in a second tour of duty as head coach of the Wolverines. “I take the blame for that. We need to be in the kind of condition where we can hold a lead like we had tonight or even to increase it.”

Friday Harbor grabbed an early 12-0 lead as Nate Steenkolk rushed for two touchdowns in the Wolverines first two possessions of the game. But they failed to convert on each of the extra-point attempts. Steenkolk gained 104 yards on 12 carries for the game.

With five seconds remaining in the opening quarter,

Douglas hit Medalia on a 33-yard touchdown pass to nar-row the deficit to 12-7.

The 2013 season marks the 41st year for the Friday Harbor football program. Friday Harbor fans honored the program milestone and players from years past with a pre-game and a halftime celebration. Fifteen former players were inducted into the school’s newly formed football “Hall of Fame” at the half.

The Wolverines dominated on the ground, out-gaining the Seahawks 173-102. But Anacortes capitalized on its passing game, amassing 156 yards, and on turnovers and Friday Harbor miscues, to battle back into the contest.

Senior Amer Melic gave Friday Harbor a 19-7 lead by returning the second half kickoff 80 years for a touchdown. The Seahawks again sliced into the deficit with a rushing TD at the end of the third period. They trailed 19-13 going into the fourth quarter and held the Wolverines scoreless in the final period of play.

“We made mistakes tonight that we can correct,” Ledford said. “There’s nothing that happened out there that can’t be corrected. We just have to work a little harder.”

Next:The Wolverines face Lynden Christian (1-0) on the road,

Friday, Sept. 13, in the first of a two-game season series, the first of which is a non-league contest. Kickoff is 6 p.m.
