Final look at the primary election

by CALI BAGBYSta� reporter

The future of OPALCO’s Broadband Initiative to bring high-speed Internet to the islands is in the hands of the co-op’s mem-bers.

OPALCO’s Board of Directors has the power to make the deci-sion of whether or not to move forward with the initiative, but they have decided to hand over that choice to the people.

“The resulting system would be owned by the membership, just as the membership owns the elec-trical system, thus all members would contribute to buildings that we will own,” said said J. Foster Hildreth, OPALCO’s assistant general manager, in a recent letter to co-op members. “The monthly broadband subscription fees would cover the cost of operating the system and thus would be borne only by those who use it. For that reason, we are leaving the decision about whether or not to build the system to our members.”

If about half of OPALCO mem-bers support the plan by making a “pre-subscription commitment” then the board will move forward. In order to help people reach this decision, OPALCO is launch-ing a six- to nine-month mem-ber engagement effort to explain the plan, get input and measure response.

Suzanne Olson, communication specialist for OPALCO, said that people should be able to “pre-subscribe” or say no thank you on the co-op’s website in about a month.

“The benefits are not just broadband – that’s just the frost-ing,” said Olson. She said the main advantages are system reliability, public safety communication and the potential improvement of cell phone signals.

BackgroundThree years ago, the San Juan

County Economic Development Council and the San Juan Island Community Foundation took on the task of researching what improved broadband speeds could do for the economy and com-munity.

An OPALCO member survey in the fall of 2011 showed broad support in the islands. OPALCO’s plan is to expand broadband access to members – reaching up to 90 percent of San Juan County with a minimum speed of 10 megabytes per second.

The recently published docu-ment “OPALCO Broadband Study Summary Findings” addresses data communication needs for operating the electric distribu-tion system, the communication needs of first responders and pub-lic safety personnel and explores possible co-location facilities to cellar providers. The proposed system would combine fiber in

more populated areas and wireless in less dense areas.

Fiber-optic lines are strands of optically pure glass that carry digital information over long dis-tances. The fiber network needs to be expanded and poles installed to carry the wireless signal between islands, according to OPALCO.

OPALCO has fiber-optic “trunk” lines, mainly running underground the islands, in its service territory of San Juan, Orcas, Lopez, Shaw, Decatur and Blakely.

OPALCO staff estimates that it will cost $34 million to build the system, which will be funded by a loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service. Subscribers would pay a month-ly fee of $15 for building infra-structure and an additional $75 a month for a subscription to cover operating costs.

But if you aren’t in favor of broadband, Olson said that mem-

PUTTING IT TOGETHER

by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONGEditor/Publisher

It's all about to change and it’s up to county voters.

With the Charter Review changes now in effect, the council will consist of three members – one from each district. Before those candidates are chosen, there is a primary and a general election. Each member of the three-person council will be paid an annual salary of $75,000 plus benefits.

The primary is on Feb. 12 and ballots are out now. There are six candidates total: Greg Ayers, Lisa Byers and Councilman Rick Hughes from Orcas and Councilmen Bob Jarman, Marc Forlenza and former Councilwoman Lovel Pratt from San Juan.

All voters, on all islands, will cast their ballot for these six candidates. Two from Orcas (District 2) and two from San Juan (District 3) will go on to the general election on April 23. Councilman Jamie Stephens and Brian McClerren are vying for the seat from Lopez, which is part of District 3, along with Shaw and surrounding outer islands, in the general election.

Two weeks later, on May 7, the April election would be certified, and the new council members would take office the following Monday, May 13. At that time, the terms of the six sitting council members would end.

Marc ForlenzaEconomic development and job growth top

Friday Harbor businessman Marc Forlenza's list of priorities. He intends to meet with business leaders locally and in Seattle, and with represen-tatives of state government, as a means to help create new economic opportunities in the islands. He supports expansion of the broadband initia-tive (see story at right) to foster new educational and telecommuting opportunities.

Part-owner and manager of the Technology Center on Mullis Street, Forlenza claimed a seat on the county council in the November election, defeating two-term incumbent Howie Rosenfeld by 99 votes. In the race against Rosenfeld, Forlenza opposed the Charter Review Commission's pro-posed changes to the charter, Propositions 1-3, and along the way drew the endorsement of Local 1849, the largest labor union of county employees.

His campaign website is www.campaignfor-lenza.com.

Lindsay Lancaster is a junior at Orcas Island High School and was a participant in the Senate Page Program in Olympia in January.

She was sponsored by Sen. Kevin Ranker, also of Orcas.

Lancaster said it was great working with Ranker, who has helped give her some insight into what role state government plays in marine regulation – a particular interest to her as she plans to study marine mammal biology in college.

Lancaster met Ranker on Orcas and he suggested she try the page program.

“She is smart and helpful, and with an interest in marine biology it is a valuable opportunity to see the relationship between the natural world and the political one,” Ranker said.

Every year hundreds of students through-out Washington take part in the legisla-tive process and observe the Legislature and other branches of state government in action.

Lancaster, 16, is also active in volleyball and sailing, and participates in horse 4-H, through which she has won many ribbons at the San Juan County Fair.

Deputy Scott Taylor is stepping up to the position of sergeant.

The sergeant spot on Orcas and Lopez has been vacant since Steve Vierthaler retired last February. Sheriff Rob Nou said that they looked for specific skill sets geared toward supervision and leadership.

“There were five candi-dates – all internal. He came out as the number one of the process,” Nou said. “He’s very experienced.”

Taylor, shown right, has more than 20 years of law enforcement, eleven with the San Juan County’s Sheriff ’s Office. He works and cur-rently lives on Lopez.

Taylor worked for seven years as a patrol deputy on Orcas and raised two of his four children on the island.

“I consider Orcas to be my home as well and have wonderful fond memories with folks there,” said Taylor. “I will serve them equally as the folks on Lopez.”

Taylor has also worked

for the Department of Homeland Security as a senior patrol officer in Whatcom County.

For the last 30 years Taylor has served in the military, from four years in the Marine Corps to 24 years in the Army National Guard. He spent two tours of duty in Iraq.

Taylor said the skills he learned through his experi-ences in the military have translated to his current work in the islands from everything to physical fit-ness to security training to leadership.

Taylor will continue to live on Lopez, but he will be spending his time com-muting between the two islands as supervisor for the other deputies on Orcas and Lopez. He is responsible for day to day operations on both islands and will be part of the Sheriff ’s Office man-agement team.

Taylor’s promotion comes on the heels of Deputy Bruce Distler, who was recently appointed as the county undersheriff. Distler will

commute to Friday Harbor, but hopes to spend some office time on his home island of Orcas as well.

Nou is pleased with Distler’s and Taylor’s multi-island backgrounds, which will help keep lines of com-munication open.

“For the first time in any-one’s memory we now have supervisors residing on all three islands,” said Nou. “It’s going to be a great thing for the office and for all three communities – easy availability of leadership as well as having leaders in the organization be part of each community.”

The Orcas Vikings hosted Cedar Park Christian Friday and the Concrete Lions Saturday, with the girls win-ning both games and the boys losing two.

The Viking girls (5-5) breezed past Cedar Park (2-12) racing ahead 22-3 in the first quarter and 32-19 at half. Cedar Park only had six players, so the Vikings had no trouble ending the game 58-33 with their start-ers retired after the first quarter.

Coach Gregg Sasan said the game was training for the younger players who often don’t get much court time.

“This was a chance to play our whole bench, the younger girls got to play a lot and they played well,” he said.

Contrary to the Viking girls, the boys (5-5) faced a Cedar Park (17-1) team that may be the strongest team in the league.

“Like LaConner, this is a team that shoots the lights out,” said Coach Josh Mayson.

Orcas kept it close in the first quarter, down only 21-15, but Cedar

Park’s defense kept Orcas to 9 points in the second quarter and eliminated all outside shooting. By half, Cedar Park had displayed their remarkable shoot-ing, stretching the margin 44-24.

A strong 22-point Viking third quarter was matched by a 23-point Cedar Park response, ending the quar-ter 67-46. Viking forward Herbie Sisson had a strong fourth quarter coming off the bench to score 8 points, generating cheers from the Orcas crowd despite the loss 84-62.

“I felt our defense played well. It’s just hard to guard so many good shooters,” Mayson said.

Orcas scoring was led by Jake Zier with 24 points, Jack Gates 18, Sisson 8, Devon Stanzione 5, Rylan Date 4 and Daniel Briggs and Jack Russillo both with 1 point.

An excellent first quarter by Bella Nigretto helped the Viking girls (6-5) crack the Concrete Lions (8-8) early, leading 19-13 in the first quarter. But early foul trou-ble benched Viking Alicia Susol while a sprained ankle sent Hannah Brunner-Gaydos to the sideline.

Shelbi Rogers picked up the slack, nailing two three pointers, helping the Vikings stay even with Concrete, scoring 14 points each in the second quarter, ending the half 33-27.

With 1:25 left in the third quarter, the Lions capital-ized on rebounding, excel-lent free throw shooting and out-hustled the Vikings to narrow the lead 46-43.

However, flush with all starters back on court, the Vikings tightened their defense and exploded with a 24-point fourth quarter, putting away the Lions 72-54.

“This was a must win game for us,” Sasan said. “Now we go into third seed of the district playoffs, we shot 100 percent from the free throw line and we played as a team. The bench helped us out when we got in foul trouble and all the girls played hard.”

Orcas scoring was led by Nigretto with 24 points, Rogers 16, Susol 12, Brunner-Gaydos 11, Lana Bronn 3, Aliviah Garcia 2 and Kilee Rogers and Emily Jackson both with 2.

The Viking boys (5-6), having narrowly beat Concrete (6-9) earlier in the season, knew this game would go down to the wire.

The Vikings trailed 15-14 in a competitive first quar-ter, led by Viking forward Devon Stanzione with six points, but were outscored by the Lions 13 to 6 in a dismal offensive second quarter for Orcas as their offense sputtered, hindered by guard Jack Gates benched due to foul trouble.

Starting the second half down 28-20, the Vikings regained their offensive composure with five dif-ferent players scoring, but still ended the third quarter down 44-35.

Needing a strong fourth quarter to catch the Lions, only Viking forwards Daniel Briggs and Jake Zier could muster any points, as the Lions slipped away with a win, 59-46.

“This was a game we could have won,” Mayson said. “We need to focus on our offensive plays, we need more guys to score, blocking out rebounds and reduce our turnovers.”

Orcas scoring was led by Zier with 17 points, Russillo and Stanzione both 8 each, Gates 7, Briggs 4 and Date 2.

The Vikings next play at LaConner.

the Polar Bear PlungeThe Polar Bear Plunge was a

great success this year and a lot of fun. Especially after getting out of the water and warming up! Orcas Island Rowing would like to thank everybody that took part and helped to make it a success in every way. We love Orcas Island and the community that calls it home and we really enjoy hosting this Orcas tradition. We would like to send special thanks to the state park employees who went the extra mile beyond their usual hard work and friendly service. Moving the event to the other end of the lake to avoid disturbing the salmon eggs in the ‘swim area’ put extra effort onto their shoulders. Thank you from everybody at Orcas Rowing.

Celebrate end of the Pig War

Almost 141 years ago an event occurred which should be cele-brated in San Juan County. On Oct. 21, 1872, Kaiser Wilhelm I of Germany, acting as official Arbitrator of the San Juan Dispute between the United States and Great Britain, decided in favor of the United States. This decision set the border between the U.S. and British Canada in the middle of the Haro Strait, between San Juan and Vancouver Islands. Thus, the Pig War was ended, the 12 year joint occupation of San Juan Island by American and British troops came to a peaceful and amicable end, and the San Juan Islands became part of the United States of America.

It seems to me that this date, Oct. 21 deserves recognition in our county. The Kaiser’s award of these islands to the United States was, at least for us, a singularly important event in our history. San Juan is alone among all Washington State counties regarding the difficulties and dangers attached to the demar-cation of our county line. And no one can dispute that, Pig or no, a

narrowly averted war with Great Britain was no small matter for our nation.

I suggest our county commis-sioners consider this matter among their many other important delib-erations, and suggest they take the decision to make Oct. 21 a Day of Celebration in San Juan County. We celebrate lesser days with folde-rol and fanfare – why not celebrate the day we came “home” in an appropriate manner? Perhaps a pig roast…..

Orcas Has Talent Jr. was a success

On behalf of Orcas Island Prevention Coalition and Point Blank Leadership group we would like to thank everyone who helped to make Orcas Has Talent Junior and Orcas Has Talent auditions one of our BEST years EVER!!! It’s mind boggling the amount of time invested, the work that needs to get done, the attention to details, and the energy that is required to bring this event to the stage. None of it would happen without our fearless leader Donna Laslo’s guidance and encouragement. Nor could we have offered such a great show without the mentors (formally know as our judges) Bob Shipstad, Susan Osborn and Gene Nery. The entertain-ing emcees John Clancy and Julia Bailey were wonderful, the media support from Islands’ Sounder and Orcas Issues, the ticket print-ers and cutters Office Cupboard and Grindstone Ink, ticket sales with Darvill’s Bookstore, the prize

awards from White Construction and Pinardi’s Classic Body and Paint, all the behind the scenes crew and volunteers, and of course our brave and talented contestants. It’s astounding how many people are needed for these productions and these were the small shows! Wait until you see all the people who are involved with the Finale on Feb. 9 at 6:30 p.m. at the Orcas Center.

Thank you to EVERYONE involved for helping us with this fundraiser. The proceeds allows us to build youth leadership and pre-vention work in our community. We truly appreciate ALL of you.

Ayers for councilWe have three candidates from

Orcas running for county council. Which one has a better method to run government? Of the three, Greg Ayers has, by far, the best approach. His methods are based on his many decades of experi-ence working with small businesses under tight cash constraints, simi-lar to our county’s financial situa-tion. If efficient business oriented people, like Greg, run government we would not have to raise our tax rates (like we just did).

Greg’s approach would be to analyze every department function and cost. Then he would start at zero for both the cost and func-tion of county services. All neces-sary functions of the county, e.g. safety or legal, would be added

Editorial

“Nobody reads newspapers anymore.”

“It’s time for newspapers to go all digital.”

We’ve all heard those comments. Perhaps some of you reading this agree with those statements. We’re going to step out on a limb and say of these doom sayers, “They’re wrong.”

Sure, over the last decade numerous daily newspapers have aban-doned print for digital-only editions, or have closed altogether. But most of those newspapers were in cities that had more than one newspaper.

The death knell for the two-daily town began to be sounded not when the Internet was born, but with the advent of readily acces-sible cable news (blame, or credit, the changing workplace too). We didn’t need to run to the newsstand on our lunch hour for that midday edition anymore. But we still needed and wanted a newspaper for the news and views closest to home.

That’s why the newspaper is a form of news delivery that still makes sense. Check this out.

In a 2012 Reynolds Journalism Institute survey of 1,015 adults, 62.8 percent of mobile and non-mobile media users said they prefer news stories produced by professional journalists; 73.4 per-cent believe professional journalists play an important role in our society. Only 35.6 percent expect to get all their news from mobile digital services within the next 10 years.

In a 2012 Newspaper Association of America survey of 2,518 adults who read U.S. newspapers on a mix of print and/or digital platforms, 66 percent said print is a relaxing way to read the news-paper, followed by tablet, 60 percent; computer, 42 percent; and smartphone, 31 percent. In the same survey, 61 percent said print provides a satisfying reading experience, followed by tablet, 60 percent; computer, 45 percent; and smartphone, 30 percent.

Newspapers continue to have value and reach for businesses wanting to connect products and readers.

In a BIA/Kelsey survey, of $151.3 billion projected to be spent in advertising in 2016, 13.2 percent will be spent in newspapers. Direct mail leads with 27.6 percent, television is second with 14.3 percent. Radio is fourth, 11.7 percent; online/interactive is fifth, 10.7 percent. The remainder is spread over cable, Yellow Pages, mobile, magazines and email/reputation/presence management.

So, dear readers, the next time someone tells you time is running out for newspapers, set them straight. The discussion should not be about newspapers vs. digital. The discussion should be about newspapers AND digital, and how newspapers can build on their use of new media to dialogue with readers.

The Sounder produces a Wednesday newspaper, a digital edition, a daily news website, an annual almanac and visitors’ guide, and a variety of special sections related to business, education and quality of life. We also have a significant number of Facebook followers. All of the media we produce — digital and print — are important to the survival of the other.

to the budget for that ser-vice. Second, he would look closely at all remain-ing government services, asking; are they necessary? Can county government do them best? Or can they be done by an outside organi-zation in a less costly and/or more efficient manner? He recognizes that there are some functions that are best performed by government but there are many that can better be accomplished by non-profit organizations or private businesses. I have experienced his under-standing of these concepts during discussions he and I have had.

Greg Ayers is the candi-date with the best approach to running our county gov-ernment. He understands the concept of providing quality services on tight budgets. Please join me in supporting Greg with your vote.

Robert L. WaunchOrcas Island

Greg Ayers is the best candidate from Orcas Island for the county council. Greg has organized and managed many complex projects and programs in the past. When a problem or issue devel-ops, he will verify if this a problem that needs atten-tion. Then he will analyze or evaluate the issue to deter-mine the causes and then develop several solutions. Greg will take action based on the long-term cost: ben-efit for all involved.

Greg will made deci-sions with an analysis that will balance economic and environmental factors. He believes that education rather than regulation is the more effective. He will work hard on all tasks and complete all projects effi-ciently and without exten-sive delays.

Greg will prepare a fis-cal strategy for the county budget. He believes that if there is a revenue problem that reduction of services or

use of volunteers should be used instead of increasing taxes and fees.

I have known Greg for many years and have worked with him on several demanding and complex projects. I strongly recom-mend that you vote for Greg Ayers.

Tom RitterOrcas Island

I have had the privilege of collaborating with Greg Ayers for many years in the field of bio-medical engi-neering. Greg provided valuable assistance in work-ing with the FDA, to obtain approval for the AED ( auto-matic external defibrillator), developed by our team for citizen response to cardiac arrest. He has demonstrated the commitment and skills to work with government to achieve real benefit for our community.

In addition, I have seen in Greg a passion for trans-forming government into a cost effective service for our community, balancing the needs and interests of indi-viduals, the community as a whole, business and job cre-ation, and the preservation of our environment. His knowledgeable and creative background, uniquely qual-ify him to lead our com-munity with innovative, and real-world practical solu-tions to the many challeng-ing issues we face.

Tom LysterLopez Island

Greg Ayers will bring a wealth of practical problem solving business experience to the San Juan County Council.

In 2011 he was asked to serve on the White House Business Council. Greg has since participated directly with this group of small business people in multiple in person meetings with President Obama, Treasury Secretary Geitner, then Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke and other top administration officials. Their goal is to help cre-

ate new job growth in the private sector by providing feedback to the adminis-tration about what govern-ment can do more or less of in order to help spur new job creation. Their focus is to establish lines of com-munication between small business and the adminis-tration. The White House Business Council is not a partisan political group.

Greg is not a particularly political person. His invi-tation to be included on this important committee was totally unrelated to any party or political affiliation. He was not chosen for his support of any particular candidate or political party. He was asked to participate because of his two decades of practical business experi-ence. He has been involved in starting more than 15 new small medical device companies which in turn has lead to the creation of more than 500 new jobs. Greg’s election to the coun-cil will provide San Juan County with unique access to his experience in finance, job creation and small busi-ness management.

We need people like Greg Ayers who bring problem solving skills and not just their personal politics to the table. We need people who have the skills to man-age a $50 million budget. We need people who can set aside partisan politics, think critically and estab-lish priorities that take into account the needs of the people who live and work here. I think that Greg Ayers is one of those people and I hope you will join me in voting for him for county council.

Jim NelsonOlga

I first met Greg Ayers in early December when I responded to his Letter to the Editor, inviting locals to meet with him as he con-sidered running for county council. Never one to turn away from an interesting opportunity, I took him up

on his offer, and I’m glad I did.

The first question I asked Greg was “Why, with your background in engineer-ing and medicine, would you want to run for such a thankless job? In this day and age, most folks will find fault in everything you do?” He chuckled and responded that he thought he had a lot of different kinds of experi-ences to bring to the table and that he was at a point in his life that enabled him to make the kind of time com-mitment needed for the role that county council mem-bers will now play.

Greg has deep experi-ence launching and run-ning innovative businesses. He has run start-ups for medical devices, which require an entrepreneurial and innovative approach to high-quality problem solv-ing, accuracy, and imple-mentation. A status quo approach simply does not work in that kind of high-risk environment.

Our county has some significant challenges ahead, such as planning viable budgets, improving pubic health and environmental services, and implement-ing the critical area ordi-nance in a reasonable and transparent way. I believe that Greg will bring a fresh approach to our challenges that builds on his business skills. For instance, he will introduce new strategies to create incentives, account-ability and rewards for our county employees, so that the current “us vs. them” approach to interactions shifts to “we’re all rowing in the same direction. “

For these reasons, in addi-tion to the fact that he fixes his own flat tires, I support Greg Ayers for the San Juan County Council.

Byers for councilWe are writing this letter

in support of Lisa Byers for San Juan County Council. We are fortunate to have such a candidate. She is strong and principled, yet an effective negotiator. What’s more, she is an administra-tor with an impressive track record.

Another thing that we like is that she actually comes right out and says she is interested in conservation of marine life in our county. Everyone “likes” the sea life, but we think she will hold the line against unreason-able inroads into this pre-cious resource.

We like that she is intel-ligent, and feel that she will use that intelligence with creativity to make things happen (jobs, island

“We are confident that the system we are designing does not pose a health risk to our

community,” said OPALCO’s recent find-ings document.

For Olson, what is most important is making sure the people get what they want out of OPALCO.

“We want people to know what they are going to get and the quality of life they are going to get,” said Olson. “We want to empower people to make their own deci-sion.”

Bob JarmanA San Juan Island resi-

dent of 38 years, Bob Jarman is a two-term incumbent on San Juan Island Fire Department's elected com-mission and for more than 30 years worked in various roles and capacities with the local phone company, oper-ated now by CenturyLink. In his first-ever bid for the county council, he defeated first-term incumbent Lovel Pratt by 90 votes to claim the South San Juan position in the November election.

Jarman believes the health of the local economy will depend on both the number and diversity of well-paying jobs.

“Construction, the whole-sale/retail trades, healthcare, farming and real estate sales, all need to be fostered and encouraged while respect-ing our environment and maintaining our island way of life," he said. "I’ve been a worker and an employer on San Juan Island, and I know how hard it is to make a living.”

His website is www.elect-bobjarman.com.

Lovel PrattLovel Pratt points to 21

years of experience on San Juan Island in the areas of farming, education, and affordable housing as one qualification for the new council. She served for ten years on the Planning Commission (including two years as chairwoman), and one term on the current council, including serving as council chairwoman in 2011.

On the council, Pratt has been an advocate for the county in Olympia, serving on the Legislative Steering Committee of the Washington State Association of Counties and on three statewide commit-tees related to oil spills and vessel traffic risk assess-

ment. Supporting a strong local economy and provid-ing effective advocacy at the regional, state and national levels, are issues she is high-lighting in her campaign.

Pratt supported the Charter Review Commission propositions. She also supported for-mation of the Lopez Solid Waste District and the bid by Orcas Recycling Services to manage the Orcas trans-fer station, pointing to them as protection of local jobs and provision of local solu-tions to problems.

Her website is www.lovel-pratt.org.

Greg AyersDr. Greg Ayers has exten-

sive business experience in the medical device industry and brings a multi-decade career of operating over a dozen privately financed start-up biotech companies. He presently serves the com-munity as an elected com-missioner of the Eastsound Water and Sewer District, as well as in a variety of volun-teer positions.

Recently, Ayers has used his experience and skills to support health care on Orcas Island; he is one of the founders of the Island Reproductive Health Initiative and served on the Board of the Orcas Medical Foundation. Nationally, Ayers has provided input to the Obama administration on topics related to small businesses, fiscal policy, intellectual property rights and other governmental policies.

Professionally, he is a recognized expert in abnor-mal heart rhythms and has developed medical devices including defibrillators, pacemakers, and health monitors. He now wants to apply his skills and expe-rience to the operation of the government of San Juan County. Ayers and his wife

first fell in love with Orcas when they were married at Rosario.

His website is www.ayers2013.com.

Lisa ByersLisa Byers’ decision

to run for office after 17 years at the helm of OPAL Community Land Trust is based on wanting to “help our community thrive into the future. I love Orcas and believe that I have the expe-rience and perspective to serve the county well.”

Byers attributes her “bal-anced, pragmatic approach” to her experiences manag-ing organizations whose mission is to improve the health and well-being of individuals and communi-ties.

Byers has a bachelor’s degree from Vassar College,

and a Masters in Business Administration in public and nonprofit management from Boston University. She has lived on Orcas Island since 1994. Together with her partner, Laurie Gallo, she has helped raise two daughters, graduates of the Orcas Island School District, who are now in college and graduate school.

Her campaign website is www.lisabyers.org.

Rick HughesRick Hughes won the

November election for the Orcas West council seat, earning 69 percent of the vote against Scott Lancaster.

“I am very excited and thrilled and honored to have that much support,” Hughes said at the time of his win.

Hughes and his wife Marlace manage Ray’s Pharmacy. He also runs a property management group; serves as treasurer of the Orcas Island Farmers’ Market Association, is a board member of Eastsound Planning and Review Committee; volun-teers as little league coach; and serves as the PTSA co-president. Prior to moving to Orcas, Hughes was an executive with ESPN. His family has been on Orcas since 1944 and Marlace is a fourth generation Orcas Island resident.

Byers, Pratt lead in campaign spendingTwo candidates seeking election to the three-person San Juan County Council have raised more than $17,000 each. The other four candidates competing in the Feb. 12 primary race have collectively raised about $20,000, according campaign reports filed with the state Public Disclosure Commission. The maximum contribution allowed by state law for any candidate running for local election is $900. At the pres-ent fundraising pace, perhaps $200,000 may be contrib-uted and spent by the April 23 “special” election.As of Jan. 23, Lisa Byers of Orcas Island and Lovel Pratt of San Juan Island are leading all candidates in the fundrais-ing derby. Both have raised more than $17,000. Byers has 75 contributors and has spent nearly $11,000; Pratt, with 117 contributors, has spent about $8,000.Marc Forlenza and Bob Jarman, who are competing with Lovel Pratt for the San Juan Island “residency district” pri-mary nod, have raised about $4,600 (from 10 supporters) and $2,800 (from three contributors) respectively.Greg Ayers of Orcas has either raised or loaned his campaign roughly $5,400, spending almost $4,500. Rick Hughes, presently a councilman from Orcas, has raised about $2,335 and spent $1,450. They are in the same primary race as Byers, although all county voters will be casting ballots for all candidates in the Feb. 12 primary.Jamie Stephens, who will not be on the primary ballot because he has only one opponent, Brian McClerran, for the Lopez district council seat, has raised almost $4,600, and spent $92, as of Jan. 23. McClerran has filed with the PDC for “mini-reporting,” which means he intends to raise and spend less than $500.

County to hold conversation sessions

by Steve WehrlyJournal reporter

After four years of budget and employee reductions, including a 2013 budget that is $2.3 million less than 2012, the San Juan County Council wants ideas from its citizens about future priorities and projects for the county.

Beginning Feb. 5, the council has scheduled a series of thirteen “Community Conversations.” In a special county-paid insert in the Jan. 30 Sounder, the county suggests questions it seeks answers to, such as “What public services are essential to a good quality of life in San Juan County?” and “Should funding for Economic Development and new business opportunities be increased?”

Other than the one meeting scheduled for Shaw Island on Saturday, March 16, the other twelve will be held on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings on Orcas, Lopez and San Juan islands.

The first three meetings are scheduled for Feb. 5 at the Orcas Fire Hall, Feb. 6 at the Friday Harbor High School Commons, and Feb. 7 at the Lopez Arts Center. All three start at 6 p.m. and end at 9 p.m. The full schedule is printed in a special insert in the Jan. 30 Journal.

Each “conversation” is titled to address different aspects of island life and governance: “Quality of Life,” “Public Services,” “Economy and Jobs,” and “Priorities of Government.”

The series was suggested by Interim County Manager Bob Jean, who said that similar events in Tigard, Ore., and University Place were useful and productive.

The timing and purpose of the meetings, Jean said, was a council decision: “Council felt it was time, overdue really, after cutting budgets and services with the effects of the recession since 2008, [to ask] what are the essential and limited services needed to protect and enhance the island quality of life?”

Auditor Milene Henley, who is responsible for oversee-ing the budget, said the purposes were “to inform the 2014 budget process” and “to get input from the community on how the county should be spending its money.”

Regarding the $25,000 budgeted by the council for its “Conversations”, Henley said, “It has been appropriately budgeted for, and assuming that budget is not exceeded, the cost is, in my opinion, reasonable for the value of the output.”

The council’s “Dear Islander” letter, included in the news-paper insert, said the roundtable format, “will assure that all voices are heard and respected, and that no one individual dominates.”

The meetings begin prior to Feb. 12 primary election for the new three-person council and end a week before the final election. Asked about the election-season timing, Jean said, “I don’t know, it certainly has policy and political implications, but the purpose is certainly not political but about recognizing that its time to come together to make decisions about the shape, size and future of county gov-ernment.”

The final question on the “Where Do We Go From Here” page of the insert asks the bottom line question, “Should property taxes and the services they support: increase slightly, stay the same or decrease slightly?”

I feel fortunate to be rais-ing my family in this rural island county. Having spent my childhood growing up between San Juan and Orcas Island, I can’t imagine a bet-ter place to live. A sense of community impacts all aspects of our living, from education to recreation, from commerce to volun-teerism, and from growth to preservation of our beau-tiful islands. But where a “sense of community” is most important is in the ideals of our political lead-ers. And that is why I will be voting for Lisa Byers for county council on Feb. 12.

I have had the pleasure of sharing island experiences with Lisa in a variety of platforms. She understands the intricacies of island life. She knows that the role of county government is to protect when needed and communicate the needs of the people while putting her personal views aside. Lisa has offered me pro-fessional guidance, and in each instance she has shown herself to be a great listener who gives advice without judgment or personal bias. She has never been influ-enced by anyone else’s prin-ciples and operates with a perspective that is based on reason and common sense.

As many of you know, I have worked with families and children in this com-munity for 17 years. I have lived the struggles and I have seen what it takes to maintain a viable existence in our county. Lisa had shared these island experi-ences and knows what is needed to keep our com-munity working. She has a strong sense of family and is committed to bettering the lives of all residents of San Juan County.

So, please – join me in voting for Lisa Byers for county council.

Amber PaulsenEastsound

Hughes for councilI am very concerned

about the difficulty Orcas will have electing the per-son of our choice for county council. If Orcas voters do not come out VERY strong for a single candidate, the Lopez and San Juan votes could easily decide who gets elected from Orcas.

This happened to us on Charter Proposition #1 which we rejected, but Lopez backed it at about 85 percent and pushed it through. If they get behind a single candidate, they can have this same influence in selecting our Orcas Council representative.

Rick Hughes will bring a solid balance to the council and has shown he is not indebted to any party or special interest group. He is versed in what is facing the council, which is very important with the restruc-ture. He has a multi-gen-eration knowledge of the islands couple with his own extensive involvement in the community. Rick knows what it takes to make a living and to raise children on the island. He has used his time as our representative to gain the insight on what is facing the new council and will work hard for us. It is not going to be an easy job yet with his ability to work with others, I believe San Juan County and Orcas would be best served to have Rick sitting on the council.

If you want to learn more about Rick’s vision for our community to help you decide how we can be best represented, we invite you come to our home for refreshments and a one on one with Rick Hughes on Friday, Feb. 1 between 4 and 7 p.m., 640 Buckhorn Rd.

Dick and Velma DotyEastsound

It is my sincere opinion that Rich Hughes is the best candidate for county coun-cil. Over the past 40+ years I have come to know the Hughes family quite well. Rick’s Uncle maintained the Doe Bay water system when I was young and was always there when you needed him. Rick’s Dad is a wonderful man whom I have served in the US Coast Guard Auxiliary with. He donated thousands of hours to make boating safer and was the driving force to make life jackets available free of charge to children who needed them.

Rick carries on that tra-dition of community ser-vice. As a fellow business owner, employer, long time islander and parent, I want to thank Rick for his tireless efforts to keep our island a place working families can thrive and for making our community a better place. He has spearheaded and supported numerous proj-ects over the years with no personal agenda but a sincere love of community and the people who live and visit here. His business has financially supported

numerous programs, such as the life jacket program, not for publicity, but out of a sense of community.

Rick’s moderate stance on the issues we face and his approachability and recep-tiveness to our concerns will be a real asset to our com-munity. I encourage all of you to get out and vote and help re-elect Rick Hughes.

Pratt for councilMany concerned citizens

from San Juan County have submitted comment let-ters regarding the proposed Gateway Pacific Terminal Project at Cherry Point. On Nov. 3, 2012, there was an important scoping hearing at the Friday Harbor High School for this project, and the turnout was over 400, as reported in the Journal and Sounder. The meeting was held in the San Juans because County Council, local organizations and many islanders requested it.

A key player in this process was then Councilwoman Lovel Pratt. She worked to build a good working relation-ship with the Washington Department of Ecology, communicating with many e-mails and phone calls. She corresponded exten-sively with the Governor’s Office and she reached out to the three lead agencies, advocating that a scoping meeting be held in the San Juan Islands. She drafted the comment letters that were approved and submitted by the County Council.

Lovel has served on Washington’s Oil Spill Rules Advisory Committee. This committee develops new regulations regarding oil spills. This threat is real,

given the thousands of ships that pass through the Salish Sea each year, and will only increase if the Gateway Terminal Project and other shipping projects are approved.

Lovel’s leadership has been evidenced in other public arenas. She was a member of the Planning Commission for ten years, serving as chairwoman twice. She served on County Council and was chairwom-an in 2011. She has also worked tirelessly to repre-sent San Juan County in Olympia.

Why were the above facts important to us? Because they are evidence that Lovel is committed to advocat-ing and working to protect our environment. She is a proven leader who listens to people. She realizes the importance of San Juan islanders coming together and clearly speaking to state and federal agencies, expressing the need to pro-tect the islands which we all cherish. Her informed leadership was critical in the recent County Council dis-cussions on environmental issues related to the CAO. We urge you to vote for Lovel Pratt for county coun-cil.

Leslie and Val VeirsFriday Harbor

I watched online or attended every council and public meeting as the San Juan County Council delib-erated for months about awarding the solid waste contract for Orcas. Lovel Pratt’s work as a council member during this process was exemplary. With hon-esty, transparency, intelli-gence and humility, her line of questioning shed light on the real issues and was key to the positive outcome for

Orcas Island. As her long and substan-

tial record shows, Lovel Pratt always serves with excellence, and represents all citizens of San Juan County. Her standards are high, and she’s fair, smart, hard working and kind. She goes the extra mile to facili-tate local matters and help local people and concerns.

Let’s vote for Lovel Pratt!Susan Malins

We are writing to you to express our support for Lovel Pratt in the upcoming county council election.

In March 2012 we became aware that the proposed commercial cell tower ordi-nance included language which applied to some per-sonal amateur radio anten-nas, thereby subjecting the individual amateur to the same costly approval pro-cess required of a cell phone company when putting up a new tower. We felt that this would be burdensome, was outside the stated scope of the ordinance, could affect the ability of the amateur community to provide emergency communica-tions, and appeared to be in conflict with existing state and federal regulations.

One of us, Mike Sear, wrote a letter to Lovel, his district’s county council per-son, asking for some time to discuss this issue. Three positive things occurred:

1. Lovel responded imme-diately, and quickly set up a time to meet with Mike.

2. At that meeting, she listened carefully to all he had to say.

3. She took the informa-tion to the Council, who unanimously agreed to remove the objectionable language.

In our view, that’s how

government is supposed to work. We think a good way to insure that it continues to do so is to elect Lovel Pratt to the new three member Council. She has our votes!

Questions about Marc Forlenza

Are you, like me, still won-dering who we elected? The voter pamphlet said Marc Forlenza was the owner of the Tech Center Building. I was impressed. However, his F1 filing showed his ownership as 8.3 percent. Not so impressive. He now says part owner. Integrity?

During one forum he claimed to be a part owner of Village At The Harbor. That wasn’t on his F1. He isn’t claiming that anymore. Honesty?

On his website he sums up his career history: “1983-2003: Real Estate Investor and Restaurant Owner. 1975-1982: International Negotiation and Marketing Executive.” Ten words for 28 years! Is that all we need to know? This is on his own website where he can blow his horn. Can we see your resume please? Are you hid-ing something?

He claims a background in conflict resolution. Are there credentials? Training? According to incidents doc-umented by Allison Lance and others, he wasn’t very good using these conflict resolution skills in his own business.

So he says he’s a real estate investor. Is that who we want in charge of our fragile islands?

My fellow county coun-cil members and I hope you will join us in a Community Conversation about the future of the San Juan Islands and the role of its county government in the years ahead. This is an opportunity to consider doing things differently as we begin to climb out of the economic downturn.

This will not be a county show and tell; these meet-ings are being held so that we can hear your thoughts and ideas about living, working and enjoying life in the islands, and what you need from the county gov-ernment.

We’ll be hosting a series of four meetings, repeated on Orcas, Lopez and San Juan Islands, plus a one-day conversation on Shaw on Saturday, March 16. You may attend any meeting, based on whatever works best for your schedule.

The meetings will use a roundtable discussion for-mat with small groups dis-cussing and reporting their

responses to each question presented. At the end of each round of conversation, a summary will be prepared and posted on the county’s webpage. If you can’t attend the meetings, you will be able to offer your thoughts through a blog on the coun-ty’s website. Again, this is your time to tell us what you think the priorities should be, going forward from here. Our job is to get you and your neighbors talking, and for us to listen.

The first conversation’s “kickoff ” will be a general discussion about the “Quality of Life in the Islands” and what’s important to you. From there we’ll get into a discussion about the strengths we have in main-taining this “Island Quality of Life,” “Our Weaknesses,”

“Opportunities Ahead, and “Threats to our Quality of Life.”

This first series of conver-sations will be held February 5, 6 and 7.

The second meetings, March 5, 6, and 7 will cover public services needed to enjoy living and earn a liv-ing in the islands. We want to hear your thoughts about what role the county should play in not just providing some services directly, but in seeing that all service needs are met.

After discussing what is important to us and what services are needed, the next conversation will focus on our underlying econ-omy. Where will the jobs

come from into the future? Will the economy provide the financial foundation to our families, businesses and community to maintain or enhance our quality of life? The “Conversations on Economy” will be held April 2, 3 and 4.

Finally, how should we shape county services to meet your needs in setting the priorities of govern-ment? These are the tough decisions: balancing needs, wants and resources. The last of this series of conver-sations will be held April 16, 17 and 18.

The final report from all of your comments will be pulled together and pre-sented to the new three-member county council and for the new county manager to use in putting together the 2014 budget and, more importantly, planning the future of San Juan County’s government.

We look forward to hear-ing from you.

We should talk

Megan Harris has always loved folk art, particularly hand-crafted clothing.

The fabrics were woven of hand-spun yarns on back-strap looms, crafted into simple shapes, rich with bright colored embroidery in traditional designs. They became identified with specific villages and were repeated for generations before being replaced by industrial methods and uni-form styles.

Selections from her collection will be in the lobby of Orcas Center during February. The Madrona room features an exhibit of

textiles created, or collected by Orcas resi-dents. A public reception will be on Friday, Feb. 1, from 5.30 to 7.pm.

Harris worked in two folk art stores and enjoyed trips as a buyer in Mexico and Central America.

Megan and her husband Bob traveled widely, living in Greece for two years with their sons, and on a 1890 sailboat in the Mediterranean area for several years – always collecting interesting textiles. In 1987 Bob published a book describing their travels, “Gypsying After.”

Island Living

by CALI BAGBYSta� reporter

When Grace McCune start-ing performing profession-ally, there were moments

when she felt nervous. For island audiences who have watched her perform over the years this may be a surprise, as McCune never seems to skip a beat, but rather seems as comfortable on stage as most of us feel when sitting on the couch. That performer was born out of not only a love of the music, but of an ideal for a greater purpose.

“What gave me the most strength when I got nervous was if I could do it, it might inspire and get someone else to follow their creative goal,” McCune said. “If we share it we can give strength to each other. The things that are most beautiful in life come from art – from the ability to express.”

It’s with that premise that McCune embarked on a journey of singing and songwriting – sharing all the important moments of her life with the sounds of her hands meeting ebony and ivory.

Her recent album “From the Direct Box of the Soul” is a compi-lation of three years of writing and mixes everything from classical to rock to jazz influences.

Her CD release concert is Saturday, Feb. 2, 7 p.m. at the Rosario Music Room. The show will be a mix of showcasing the CD, live performance and multimedia content. There will be a meet and greet hour in the lounge at Rosario from 6-7 p.m. The event is hosted by Jake Perrine and McCune will be joined by local musicians Martin Lund, Carolyn Cruso and violinist Joel Gamble.

“Something like this should not be possible in a community this size with a population of this size,” said Perrine, who is the sound engineer and co-producer of the CD. “It’s a true testimony of the magic of the place … a woman of her talent and all the musicians are a testament to this place.”

The CD features Lund on clarinet/accordion, Cruso on flute/hammer dulcimer, Armando Nunes on bass, Andrew Moore on drums, Bruce Harvie on guitar and mandolin, Anita Orne on saw, Alfred Bentley on tenor sax and Mathew “Wally” Wallrath on tuba.

“It was like having a dream team,” McCune said. “The fact that I could hand-pick my favorite musicians on the island was amazing.”

Through the process of record-ing the CD, McCune watched and listened as the songs transformed

as other musicians brought their unique flair.

“To see the music come alive under someone else’s hands was very exciting,” she said. “The moment you add new instruments you change the sonic value of the song.”

She compares working with other musicians to adding spices to a pasta dish – it only enriches and brings out the already delicious flavors.

And McCune adds her own flair of vocals and piano. She is the type of musician who sits down on the piano bench and seems to instantly meld with the instrument.

“The ability of someone to play at the level she does and sing at that level … at the same time is really unusual and rare,” said Perrine.

“It’s unique. I have never heard anything like it,” added Gamble, who brings his seven-string electric violin to the CD. “She has a lot of energy, sounds a lot like Tori Amos but on the other hand there are a lot of other influences ranging from U2 to all over the map.”

Gamble has been playing the vio-lin for the last 31 years and plays in a band as well as performing as a soloist in Seattle.

“There is a lot of passion when she performs – it gives me chills,” said Gamble. “She is probably my favorite

person to play music with.” McCune’s songwriting is deeply

personal and explores her triumphs, struggles, heartbreak, love and loss. For her, sharing that part of herself with an audience is just part of the process.

“Anytime you share music it’s deeply personal, whether you wrote the song or whether you are inter-preting another piece,” McCune said.

She has been teaching private les-sons on the island for four years, directing choirs for more than three years and has been involved in a myriad of Orcas Center productions as well as solo performance work.

Her recordings consist of two studio albums titled “Grace” and “Enchantment.”

“As a musician you are constantly finding that creative spark that gets you up in the morning and keeps you inspired through that daily walk,” said McCune. “The moment you are done and reach a certain level you’ve always wanted to reach, the next morning you wake up and ask what’s next? The creative process never ends.”

And that is what she loves about it – the music never dies, but morphs and changes in an endless ribbon of exploration.

Lopez Island artist Steven Hill was honored to have two paintings jur-ied into a regional exhibit “Contemporary Marine Artists of the West” that opened Friday, Jan. 19, at Knowlton Gallery in Lodi, Calif.

Visit www.knowltongallery.com to view the exhibit, which hangs through March 2.

Hill was also recently fea-tured in an article “Taking on the Big Apple,” with seven other artists from around the world, in ArtisSpectrum

Magazine, (Vol. 28), pub-lished by Agora Gallery, Chelsea, NYC. He will be showcasing his third solo exhibit at Agora Gallery, with an opening reception on June 6.

Hill’s works can be seen locally at Crow Valley Gallery, Eastsound and Windswept Fine Art Gallery

In 2007, Ray’s Pharmacy committed to collect $5,000 for the Orcas Food Bank within five years. That com-

mitment was fulfilled last week. The majority of the funds came from pharma-cy customers who placed their donations in jars and bags at the cash registers. Employees also contributed, and personal contributions by Ray’s owners Rick and Marlace Hughes made up the rest. They have now pledged another $5,000 goal for the next five years.

“Ongoing commitments like these, which are made by many individuals and businesses on Orcas, are the ‘bread and butter’ of food bank contributions and help assure the consistent avail-ability of food items for our food bank recipients,” says Food Bank President Larry Shaw. “We are very grateful for every one of them.”

Since March 4, 1909, when the Madrona Club of Eastsound opened the first public library on Orcas Island, the library has had a rather nomadic existence. As the com-munity grew, so, too, did the public library.

Over the years, each new generation’s increasing and changing needs caused the library on Orcas Island to strain the confines of its location.

After outgrowing the building where it had resided since 1953, the Orcas Island Library District was formed in November of 1987, and planning began for a new and larger library.

On a sunny afternoon in June, 1992, the foundation was put down for today’s library building on a hill overlooking Eastsound.

The next January, the Orcas Island Public Library opened for business at its present location on Rose Street. Dedication ceremonies were held Feb. 6, 1993.

Join the community and library staff on Wednesday, Feb. 6, at the library for an open house from noon to 6 p.m. to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the grand opening of the public library building.

They will have new historical displays and refreshments will be served. This is the kick-off for numerous events the library has planned for the coming year.

It is their way of saying “Thank You” for supporting the library through the years.

Open house at the Orcas Island Library

new species for the 2013 Washing- ton State Noxious Weed List. These include French broom (Genista mon- spessulana) (Class A), tall hawk- weed (Hieracium piloselloides) (Class B), common teasel (Dipsacus fullonum) and barberry (Berberis vul- garis) (Class C). Of these, only com- mon teasel is known to occur outside of cultivation in the county.Additional changes to WAC 16-750 include reclassifying eleven class B noxious weeds to Class C, and amending the current listing of Japa- nese eelgrass (Zostera japonica) to make it a Class C everywhere (rath- er than limiting it to commercially managed shellfish beds only, as

presently listed). WAC 16-750-001 is also amended, reducing the num- ber of State noxious weed regions from ten to six. The following species were moved from the Class B list to the Class C list: Austrian fieldcress (Rorippa austria- ca), blackgrass (Alopecurus myosu- roides), common catsear (Hypochae- ris radicata), polar hawkweed (Hier- acium atratum), lawnweed (Soliva sessilis), lepyrodiclis (Lepyrodiclis holosteoides), longspine sandbur (Cenchrus longispinus) oxeye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare), perennial sowthistle (Sonchus arvensis ssp. arvensis), swainsonpea,(Sphaero-

physa salsula), wild carrot (Daucus carota) (except where commercially grown). Additionally, San Juan County is se- lecting common teasel,( Dipsacus fullonum) and hoary cress (Cardaria draba) for control county wide and dog fennel (Anthemis cotula) will be added to the County’s Weeds of Concern list. There will also be a review of the County Noxious Weed Program Stat- us Report for 2012.In order for the 2013 Noxious Weed List to become accepted for San Juan County, it must be approved by the County Noxious Weed Control Board based on public input received

at this meeting.
