By Steve WehrlyJournal reporter

If you thought the question of County Council numbers had been put to rest, think again.

Believing that voters did not understand what they were doing last November, councilmen Rich Peterson and Marc Forlenza want to give islanders a “do-over”. This time, however, Peterson and Forlenza have proposed replacing the 3-person council with five.

Peterson says the three-person council “leaves San Juan Island and Orcas Island underrepresent-ed on the county council.”

Peterson thinks it’s fine for Lopez and Shaw to have a single council member, but that the larger populations of San Juan and Orcas islands would be better served if two council members were elected from each of those islands. He also thinks voters would prefer to vote by district, and that advisory com-mittees, like the planning commis-sion, should reflect the distribution of population on the islands.

So he and Forlenza, each elect-ed by district voting in 2010 and 2012, respectively, and who both will be displaced by the county-wide elections later this month, have proposed a second charter

Council candidate Q & A Dist. 1By Journal Staff

This is the last of a three-part series of Q&A segments with county council candidates run-ning in the April 23 election. The revamped three-person council, and the upcoming elec-tions, are the result of revisions to the county charter proposed in 2012 by the Charter Revision Commission and approved by the voters in November. The revi-sions returned the council to three members elected county-wide from “residency districts” comprising San Juan, Orcas and Lopez and their respective near-by smaller islands.

Bob Jarman and Lovel Pratt are running for the San Juan Island District 1 position. Jarman, an elected commissioner of San Juan Island Fire Department, defeated Pratt in her bid for reelection to the council in November. The two candidates square off once again in the April 23 election.

Bob JarmanJournal: What is the single

most critical issue facing county

residents?

Our county residents are concerned about being able to make a living, provide for their families, and hang on to their property. Our economy in the islands is going to be directly effected by the implementation of the Critical Area Ordinance and Shoreline Management Plan. Hardest hit will be the building trades, our small farmers, and property owners. We were able to push the implementation of the CAO forward to December, giving us time to hear the results of the lawsuits before the GMA Board. Adjustments and com-promises need to be made so that our economy can grow stron-ger going forward with as few government encumbrances as possible, while maintaining our county’s rural character.

Our County Council needs to find ways to promote commerce and sustainable jobs through technology, health care, the build-ing trades, tourism, real estate sales, and agriculture so that our county residents can afford to live

in these beautiful islands. Journal: What issues or projects

would you take a leadership role on if elected?

I am currently a member of the Building Advisory Committee, and if re-elected, would like to remain on that committee. We are identifying and reviewing our outdated codes and codes that can be simplified, thereby streamlin-ing the process of getting a build-ing/land use permit. For example, “One stop shopping” (being able to go to one place without having to go to several different agen-cies). The committee is looking at better cooperation between our building and planning depart-ment staff to meet the needs of our citizens. I want to work on boosting the morale of our coun-ty employees by building trust with the council though open-ness, honesty and mutual respect, which will in turn create better customer service.

We want to set up office hours on Orcas and Lopez so those

I want to continue serving you on the San Juan County Council.

I am independent of any group and represent all the residents of San Juan County.

My Guiding Principles for County Government Are:

Simplify - Make county codes and processes easy to follow and understand

Localize - Promote island-specific solutions for our diverse island Culture

Communicate - Provide transparent, active and timely flow of information to the public with a customer service orientation

islanders’ needs can be met more easily. We’re also in the process of setting up a committee to hear complaints from builders and home/land owners regarding the permit pro-cess. The committee will be comprised of their peers and will bring the complaints forward with its recommenda-tions to the council. This will eliminate people with permit complaints from having to go before the Hearing Examiner at the cost of $2,500 for the complaint to be heard. I believe this committee is vital to our community.

Journal: Which government agencies have the most influ-ence on San Juan County, and why?

I believe the Department of Ecology is the government agency with the most influence in our county. It is a part of

all land-use issues, including our Critical Area Ordinances, and sets the rules regarding water quality, air quality, storm water, etc. In addition, NOAA and the Department of Fish and Wildlife are all involved in our policy-making.

It is important to keep two-way conversations going with our state representatives and legislators. Keeping on top of issues that affect our county means having an open dialog with those in Olympia, necessitating travel to Olympia at times for “face-to-face” conversations.

Journal: How do you plan to balance the county budget? Do you support renewal of Prop. 1, the voter-approved property tax increase that expires at the end of 2015?

In setting budgets, the council needs to remember that our county’s primary responsibilities are “Public Safety (Public Works), Health, and Law & Justice”. In the few months that I have been a sitting council member, we have had requests for money from agencies that are non-budget-ed items. I have voted no.

The only way to reduce taxes and balance the budget is to reduce spending and encourage commerce. We need to define what our functions/priorities are and then how we want to go about funding them. What are our acceptable levels of service?

I do not support renewal of Prop. 1, and will work dili-gently to hold the line on budget expenses, delving deep into our spending patterns and cutting any unnecessary expen-ditures. In my nine years working with the (San Juan Island Fire Department) and 30 years with the phone company, I have been responsible for budgets in the millions and know

how to “do more with less”. With my leadership I’ve main-tained a positive work environment, positive morale and mutual trust amongst my peers and employees.

Journal: What do you bring to the table that is different from the other candidates and why did you decide to run?

I have made my living in these islands for over 38 years. I understand the difficulties, as well as the joys, of living and working here. I have been a manager, an employer, and an employee. I know how to get a job done efficiently while working cooperatively with many agencies. I do not micro-manage. I listen to all sides and make decisions based on what, in my opinion, is best for all. I am open and honest in my deal-ings. I will always work for the betterment of my community.

I decided to run for County Council after spending the last four years being very frustrated with the way our county was being run. My friends, colleagues and family members were equally frustrated. Instead of just complaining and judging, I decided to try to do something about it.

Luckily, I had the support of my family and friends. It’s been a LONG YEAR of campaigning. It’s been worth it. I’ve met wonderful people all over these islands that have the same goal as I do… to maintain our rural, island way of life while trying to stimulate our economy and respecting our environment.

Lovel PrattJournal: What is the single most critical issue facing county

residents?

Maintaining and enhancing our quality of life is the single most critical issue facing county residents now and into the future. Many of us have stayed here or chosen to live here because of family and friends, because this is a beautiful place, because we appreciate the rural lifestyle, and/or because we value being active participants in a small community. Maintaining and enhancing this quality of life includes having opportunities for year-round, family-wage jobs; access to affordable and stable housing and health care; a healthy and vibrant environment which is the foun-dation of our economy; and support for a diverse and civilly engaged community.

Journal: What issues or projects would you take a leadership role on if elected?

Advocating for San Juan County at the regional, state, federal, and international levels was a focus of mine dur-ing my first term on the council and I am committed to continuing to provide this essential leadership. We cannot address many of the challenges we face only from within San Juan County. We need to address ferry transportation issues in Olympia and with other ferry-served communities in Puget Sound. State and federal funding of essential coun-ty-delivered services must be addressed with our state and federal legislators. We need to address oil spill prevention, readiness, and response with the Coast Guard, our state and federal representatives and government agency officials, the tribes, and our Canadian neighbors whose border we share. I will continue to take a leadership role in response to the proposed coal terminal, which has no benefits and only potential negative impacts to San Juan County. I am proud of my work to secure the scoping meeting held in San Juan County that so many islanders attended.

I will take a greater leadership role to ensure that island-ers feel welcome to participate in the work of the council and that citizen engagement is civil. I will work to improve my own and the council’s communications, providing more accurate and up to date information. Having accurate infor-mation and civil engagement are critical in order for people to feel welcome to participate in county government.

Journal: Which govern-mental agencies have the most influence on San Juan County, and why?

Given that we all ride the ferries and travel on county roads, the govern-ment agency that likely most affects residents and visitors is the Washington State Department of Transportation. Many other state agencies also have significant influence. For example, the state auditor oversees all expenses and disbursements in the county, the secretary of state super-vises our elections, the state attorney general guides our prosecuting attorney, and our sheriff must coordinate with numerous state and federal law enforcement agencies. Because we are on an international border and our waters are highways to the world as well as habi-tat for endangered species, agencies such as Homeland Security, Customs, Coast Guard, and NOAA are all influential. Finally, the court system likely plays a larger role in San Juan County, particularly in regard to land-use issues, than it does in other com-

parable counties. State and federal laws are carried out by various state and federal agencies, but, ultimately, the court system has the final say on laws and their implementation.

Journal: How do you plan to balance the county budget? Do you support renewal of Prop. 1, the voter-approved property tax increase that expires at the end of 2015?

By law, the county bud-get must be balanced. I will continue to carefully steward taxpayer funds and other county revenues. I will continue to work towards a long-term sustainable bud-get, and I will advocate to further increase the reserve funds I helped to establish in order to address future economic downturns.

The voter approved levy lid-lift created a local man-date for county programs and services that are not mandated by state or federal law. These include senior services, public health services, WSU Extension programs, county parks, and the Islands Oil Spill Association. I support the renewal of the levy lid lift and the reaffirmation of a local mandate for county programs and services. It will be important to get

citizen input on the pro-grams and services funded by the levy lid-lift as well as the funding amount. The Community Conversations are providing an important forum for citizen input and I urge everyone to partici-pate. More information is available on the county’s website: http://www.san-juanco.com/conversation/

Journal: What do you bring to the table that is different from the other candidates and why did you decide to run?

I bring the support of many islanders with diverse viewpoints and back-grounds. Over 350 support-ers have signed up to be list-ed on my campaign website and in ads; 184 supporters have made campaign con-tributions. Donations have come from San Juan, Orcas, Lopez, Shaw, Waldron, and Stuart islands.

I am running for elec-tion because I am an effec-tive community leader and county advocate. County priorities must be cham-pioned beyond San Juan County by elected represen-tatives on the council. Many county priorities require state or federal action and/or funding. I have built effective relationships with our state and federal repre-sentatives and their staffs, and with state and federal agency decision-makers. I am committed to making the time to do this impor-tant work on behalf of San Juan County, in addition to attending to the many duties of the council on island.

My public service on the council has been my proud-est professional accomplish-ment and is the work that I love. I ask for your vote to represent all islanders on the County Council.

Q & A:Continued from page 4

O’Day’s “swings” consisted of a Petition for Direct Review, a Request for Accelerated Review and a Motion for Preliminary Injunction — all in support of her contentions that the high court should short-circuit the appeals process by taking the appeal directly from the trial court, consider the appeal immediately and tem-porarily suspend at least the counting of ballots for the April 23 election of the new three-person County Council.

If the court denies the first petition, the case will be sent to the lower Court of Appeals for a decision which could take months, according to O’Day.

After a Court of Appeals ruling, O’Day (or county Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord, if he loses in the Court of Appeals), could ask the Supreme Court for further review.

If the Supreme Court takes the case at this stage (because it presents “novel” or “important” issues), they might still turn down the quick review request, hear the case in regular order and issue a final decision later this year. Refusing the accel-erated review request would likely mean that the court also rejects the preliminary injunction motion. A trial court has pre-viously rejected O’Day’s attempt to stop the election. She is heartened that the Supreme Court requested that Gaylord respond to her filings by March 29.

“We’re encouraged that the Supreme Court recognized the importance of the issues we presented,” she said.

Gaylord said that he filed a response and a statement in opposition to the acceler-ated review request March 27, and would file his brief opposing the injunction on March 29.

Appeal: Continued from page 1

amendment to return the county to voting by district. Voting by district, however, may require redistricting to meet “one-man, one-vote” constitutional requirements.

Their first charter amend-ment, if approved by voters, would retain the three coun-cil members to be elected April 23, and then another two would be elected in a countywide special election in April, 2014.

In either case, the three council members elected this April would not run again until their terms expire, one in 2014 (Lopez/

Shaw) and two in 2016.The propositions were

before the council March 26 on “first touch,” which means the council discussed the issue but did not take testimony. Nevertheless, five citizens spoke on the Peterson/Forlenza proposal during “Citizen’s Access Time”. Reaction was divided, three against, two in favor.

Council Chairman Jamie Stephens and Councilman Rick Hughes voted against moving the proposal for-ward. They agreed that such an amendment should come from a citizens initia-tive, not the council.

Council members Patty Miller, Bob Jarman, Peterson and Forlenza voted to move the proposal forward to an April 9 discussion, known as a “second touch”. If the coun-cil chooses to proceed at that point, it would get a “third touch”, which would include a public hearing, public tes-timony and a final decision whether to place the proposi-tions on the ballot.

Peterson would like to see the amendments approved by the current council because the 3-person coun-cil which takes office in early May, “probably wouldn’t approve my idea.”

Moved by display of ‘Island Spirit’

Last Wednesday (March 20) I was driving on West Valley road, down Cady Mt. “pass”, when a gentleman flashed his headlights at me resulting in my slow-ing down. Thankfully, I did, as when I rounded a blind curve a large tree limb was laying across the road that would have done severe damage to my car.

I just wanted to thank him for being so thought-ful to warn me. He totally embodies our island’s spirit, and I owe him a debt of gratitude and will “pay it forward.”

Broadband: morethan boondoggle

If you are an OPALCO member, you have cer-tain rights guaranteed by Washington state law.

OPALCO is, by its own admission, “a corpora-tion organized under Chapter 24.06 RCW, the Miscellaneous and Mutual Corporations Act.” To protect members the Act requires that corpora-tions “set forth” in their articles of incorporation, “The purpose or purposes for which the corpora-tion is organized.” (RCW 24.06.025(3).

In another section the act requires any changes to the articles of incorporation to be approved by the mem-bers by a two-thirds major-ity (RCW 24.06.190).

So now that OPALCO intends to add to its “pur-poses” becoming a mini Comcast plus a internet ser-vice provider, plus a phone company, plus the builder and manager of 100 mini-cell towers spreading 700 MHz radiation into every nook and cranny of SJC, a change to the articles of incorporation would seem to be required.

OPALCO’s excuse for depriving its members of their right to determine the purposes of the cooperative they say we own, is that the whole wireless and internet business will support the delivery of electric power.

This is pretty lame, even for a SJC organization. One look at the promo-tional material for their “Broadband Initiative” makes it clear that this is something entirely separate from the electric power business.

Any scheme that requires the committing of civil crimes and the total denial of our rights as members/owners should probably be rejected.

Partisan politics?Not by this case

Dear Mr. Rosenfeld;Your letter of March

21, posted in local papers, (“Non-partisan’? Give me a break”, March 27, pg. 9)has come to our attention.

We are grateful to you for having posted a picture of our email, written to our neighbors and friends on March 9. There is nothing in our email to indicate an endorsement by a political party, but rather a group of concerned islanders who are distressed about the future

direction of our county. Your letter appears to be yet another attempt at divisive partisan politics.

We wish to clarify that the San Juan Republican Party did not ask us if they could post our email to their site, nor are we members of the San Juan Republican Party.

We are not officers of the PAC, however, we are sup-portive of Trust Islanders!

Unfailingly adept; Byers in Dist. 2

Years ago, I attended a day-long meeting/retreat facilitated by Lisa Byers. I’d known Lisa casually but as this day progressed I became more and more impressed with her abil-ity to bring people together and to allow a good discus-sion of potentially divisive topics.

Since then, I have enjoyed several more opportunities (as a participant) observ-ing Lisa when she has been called upon to lead groups in establishing mutual goals or talking through sticky topics to come to consen-sus. She’s unfailingly able to do this with skill and good humor.

Lisa not only listens well but she also hears what is being said. In my experi-ence, those two traits are not always present at the same time. She is skilled at helping people clarify ideas and goals because she has the ability to put herself aside and hear what is being said.

Lisa’s skills will allow our County Council to go forward functioning effec-tively. Her intelligence coupled with her ability to

hear and understand dif-fering sides to an issue will contribute to wise deci-sions for our County. I encourage you to join me in voting Lisa Byers for County Commissioner.

Eye for solutions; Hughes in Dist. 2

I am writing to give my support to Rick Hughes for the Orcas representative for County Council.

As a local physician and community member I have known and worked closely with Rick for the last five years. As the operator of Rays Pharmacy, I have been impressed with his efforts to support our community, including the drug take-back program and accepting medicaid prescriptions at the pharmacy. He is always ready to listen and help cre-ate solutions.

He has demonstrated his interest in aging care

and long-term medical solutions for all islanders through his work at the pharmacy and as a mem-ber of the county health board. Through his sup-port of local agriculture, the farmers market and the farm-to-cafeteria program, he is helping to make a healthy and sustainable environment for us all.

I am writing this letter in support of Lovel Pratt’s cam-paign for San Juan County Council.

I had the pleasure of working with Lovel when she recently served as a County Council member. On multiple occasions she requested scientific data so that she could adequately address issues by linking science with the will of the public to make the best political decision.

Lovel is an excellent listener. She is a long-time county resident and community member and understands that there are always multiple views on an issue and works hard to provide a balanced per-spective.

I am confident that when Lovel is reelected to the San Juan County Council she will continue to provide us with strong leadership that considers scientific evidence, eco-nomic implications and public will when making decisions.

6 — Wednesday, April 3, 2013 The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com

Editorial

The Journal endorses... The job has changed since voters last cast

their ballots in November. The three candidates elected to the

council on April 23 will have expanded duties, executive as well as legislative, and earn nearly twice as much as their predecessors.

It’s with this expanded role in mind, and with a nod to balance among the three, that the Journal, along with its sister papers, the Weekly and Sounder, endorse Rick Hughes, Jamie Stephens and Lovel Pratt in their respective races.

Lovel Pratt sees the big picture and works tire-lessly. Her service to the community, including championing the Brickworks project and leading the coal port EIS scoping effort, demonstrates she understands how the county operates and that she will put full commitment into her work. We like the fresh perspective Jarman has on some thorny issues the county faces, but with the changing nature of the council position, we believe Pratt has the edge.

It’s a shame that Hughes and Lisa Byers can’t serve together on the council. That, we’d endorse. But in the end, we like both the diver-sity of Hughes’ background and his inventive-ness. His commitment to the community is well-documented. What’s more, he’s thoughtful, con-scientious and an independent thinker; Hughes by a nose.

Jamie Stephens brought a long, accomplished list of community involvement along with him when he was elected to the council two years ago.From the Port to the Family Resource Center to Fisherman Bay Water Association to the Land Trust, Stephens has — been there, done that.

In this race, he’s the man.

As I See It

Anti-CAO campaign deconstructed

By John Darrah

A carefully crafted campaign against the county’s criti-cal areas ordinance during 2011-2012 resulted in the defeat in the 2012 fall election of two County Council

members. The campaign was so quiet and so well executed that election results were generally greeted as a surprise.

This campaign consisted of 12 advertisements and 58 let-ters or opinion pieces which conveyed an urgent and nega-tive message over a period of 13 months – September 2011 to October 2012. Although undoubtedly other opinions about the CAO appeared in other media on the islands, this review is confined to what appeared in the Journal of the San Juan Islands.

The campaign appears to have begun with an ad on Feb. 23, 2011 by the Citizen’s Alliance for Property Rights, noting a problem of us-against-government agencies and special interests and calling for a meeting of citizens. Other than a March letter, nothing happened until September when the letters began in earnest.

Some were reasonable in tone, others were angry, but all conveyed an urgent message: the new CAO was complex, incomprehensible, unfair, costly to landowners and a viola-tion of property rights. The message was consistent over the year that the letter campaign ran. The pro-CAO crowd was labeled dishonest, extreme and bullying, spending millions to impose their regulations.

The advertisements started up again in September, num-bering nine through April, 2012. One ad announced a meeting wherein lawyers would talk about property rights and the CAO, but the remainder expressed urgent criticism of the CAO and illustrated it with graphic images. The images included a snake (CAO) squeezing an islander, a scientist with a bucket of “B.S.”, Dorothy and friends in the land of Oz con-fronted by the damage done by the CAO and others. The messages were essentially the same as the letters.

The anti-CAO folks fol-lowed to a “T” the standard political advice: define the issue in your favor, paint yourselves as the good and the others as bad guys.

The issue was property rights so that lawyers, not scientists held center stage. The “Antis” were the good guys with common sense

and the “Pros” were cast as dishonest or worse.

During this campaign how were the pro-CAO folks responding? They wrote let-ters (32 to the Antis’ 68) but rather than having any organization to them, they answered arguments in the anti-letters.

Two ads were pro-CAO, both by the Friends of the San Juans, calling attention to the County Council meet-ing coming up and answer-ing questions about the

proposed CAO. Their wording was matter of fact and no attempt was made to redefine the issue.

In short, the pros didn’t seem to have a clue what was happening under their noses. The antis spent about $3,200 on their ads. The Friends spent about $390.

This is what islanders would find if they studied past issues of the Journal. It is up to them to conclude what effect this had on the election.

With newcomers beating two seasoned incumbents by narrow margins in the county council election, the cam-paign may be thought to have been decisive. It raises the further question: how do Islanders want to talk to each other about important issues?

Your donations make a difference

On behalf of patients in our community’s hospitals, I wish to extend our thanks. During the blood drive on March 13, Puget Sound Blood Center registered 84 people. This will bring health and comfort to many patients.

The blood donations col-lected at the blood drive are critical in order to maintain a stable blood supply for surgeries, medical emer-gencies, and for supporting patients battling life-threat-ening illnesses like cancer and leukemia.

Thanks to all the donors who took time out of their busy day to donate blood. With great appreciation to San Juan Island Lions Club for blood drive sponsorship; Curt VanHyning for organiz-ing the drive and Lions Club members for their assistance; the Mullis Community and Senior Center for provid-ing the blood drive site; Gordon Waite for promot-ing the drive at San Juan High School; Becki Day, Jim Cole, Paul Barger and Robin Delazerda for helping spread the word; and the volunteers who helped on the day of the drive. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Each weekday, 900 people must donate blood to meet the needs of patients in Western Washington hos-pitals. Your blood drive has played an important role in helping meet that goal. The next blood drive is June 5.

Credit where much is overdue

As your local derelict vessel program finishes the second year of its revival and makes plans to start

the next season, it seems appropriate to give credit to all those who have helped make our local program a reality.

Thanks to generous con-tributions from the FH Power Squadron, SJAAOC, SJI Yacht Club, the Port of FH, Roche Harbor Resort, Islands Marine Center, Jensen Shipyard, CSA, Brown Island Residents Association and other won-derful organizations for the funding to restart and sustain this and follow-on programs.

And without people like Terry Whalen and Marc Forlenza, there would have been no program to fund. These folks, not to mention the Sheriff, the MRC, local government officials and all the vol-unteers who have helped us to become the only pro-active program in the state, are islanders at their best. Thanks to all.

League applauds‘Monument’ tag

Through the efforts and support of many, including citizens, local businesses and government, and the League of Women Voters of the San Juans, our voic-es have been heard in the “other” Washington.

Under the 1906

Antiquities Act, Theodore Roosevelt designated the Olympic National Monument. Following in the footsteps of Roosevelt and other presidents since then, President Obama designated nearly 1,000 acres in the San Juan Islands as a National Monument Monday. The League of Women Voters would like to take this opportunity to thank the President for making this designation and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar for supporting this deci-sion.

We would also like to recognize our legisla-tors who were proactive in moving this decision forward: Maria Cantwell, Patty Murray, Rick Larsen and U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash., whose newly redrawn 1st District includes nearby Lummi Island. The League of Women Voters believes in the protection of areas of critical environmental concern, natural hazards, historical importance and aesthetic value and strongly supports this des-ignation.

By Steve Wehrly Journal Reporter

Flamenco dancer Savannah Fuentes returns to San Juan Island with renowned singer Jesus Montoya and master guitarist Pedro Cortes for a one-night-only

presentation Saturday, April 6, at the Grange hall.The Ciudades Northwest Flamenco Tour performance is

the second stop on Fuentes’s latest tour. She has indepen-dently brought internationally recognized flamenco artists to communities in Oregon, Washington and Idaho for five years. Ciudades celebrates this unique and powerful art form this year with 25 presentations of Flamenco music

and dance in four states.“I’ve just got a chip in my brain and I just couldn’t stop,

but it hasn’t been easy,” said Fuentes, entranced by flamenco since the age of 17. “It takes hours and hours of your life. A lot of people fall in love with flamenco, but don’t stick with it”

Traditional flamenco is performed live and consists of several components: “cante” (singing), “toque” (guitar), and “baile” (dance). Plus, a lesser-known component,

“jaleo”, which roughly translates into “hell-raising” and involves hand clapping, foot stomping and

shouts of encouragement. “Many times I have heard someone, who may

be experiencing live Flamenco for the first time, shout ‘yoo-hoo’ during a footwork build up,”

Fuentes said. “And it worked. I think it is great that they can participate in that way.”

Singer Jesús Montoya is from Seville, Spain. Born into the one of the oldest Gypsy families. He earned the name “El Rey Del Fandangos Grande” at age 7. By age 9, he

had started his professional singing career and at age 13 he had started to tour with various professional companies.

In addition to his Spanish and European touring creden-tials, Montoya has toured with major flamenco companies throughout the United States and Canada to sold-out audi-ences. In addition to being the one most respected touring flamenco singers in the US, he continues to perform with his own flamenco company “Pureza Flamenca”, widely known for putting on some of the greatest and most excit-ing flamenco shows worldwide.

Cortes comes from a family of Spanish Gypsy guitarists, and began his studies with his father, the esteemed flamen-co guitarist Sabicas. Having toured professionally since the age of 17, he is now gaining international recognition as a soloist and composer.

The Seatlle P.I.’s Regina Hackett called the show, “Real flamenco, straight up and stunning.” About Cortes, Jennifer Fisher of the Los Angeles Times said, “Dazzlingly deployed virtuosity paced like capriciously gathering storm.”

The theme song from Ken Burns’ Civil War documentary, the one made so unmistakeable by the bittersweet sound of that haunting violin, is per-haps Max Ungar’s most well known composition. It’s called “Ashokan Farewell”.

But it’s only one of many origi-nal tunes Unger has penned over the course of a celebrated career devoted to acoustic Americana.

Ungar and fiddler extraordinaire Molly Mason, married in 1991 and have been performing together ever since. They will light up Friday Harbor with timeless renditions of hard-driv-

ing Applalachain melodies, and Cajun and Celtic fiddle tunes, at an evening performance, Saturday, April 6 at San Juan Community Theatre, 7:30 p.m.

Expect the evening playlist to included sassy songs from the golden age of swing and country, and waltzes and orginals as well.

But that’s not all. On the day of the show, the

duo will join local historian Mike Vouri and Friday Harbor’s own folk fiddle master, Mike Cohen, to offer a free pre-concert musical workshop, entitled “History Sings: An Exploration of 19th Century Folk Musice, beginning at 2 p.m., at SJCT.

Tickets for the evening performance: $24 adults, $12 student reserved, $5 Rush; online or at the box office.

Folk ‘afire’: Ungar & Mason

Contributed photo

Husband and wife folk duo Jay Ungar and Molly Mason perform Saturday at SJC Theatre.

Duo to headline free musical workshop, day of the show

Flight of fancy in On Book’ show

How can a little girl go about bringing happi-ness back into the lives of her gloomy, down-in-the-mouth aunt and uncle?

A bit of help from a trio of talking animals and a big dose of shock therapy from one mischievous fairy will evidently do the trick.

That’s the premise of “A Spell of Cold Weather”, writ-ten by Charles Way, directed by Dorian Oliver, and pre-sented April 8 and April 9 in the next edition of San Juan Community Theatre’s, On Book! Readers Theatre series.

Admission is free. Doors open at 7 p.m.; performance at 7:30 p.m.

Produced in Britain, Ireland and in the U.S., Cold Weather is a play that the whole family will appreci-ate. It delivers a heartwarm-ing message about faith and magic against the backdrop of winter, and is story that’s designed for the whole fam-ily to enjoy. Info, 378-3210, www.sjctheatre.org.

Sail on, sailorThe Friday Harbor Sailing Club will

be one of 16 teams slated to compete Saturday and Sunday at the Roche Harbor Island Cup, April 6 and 7.

As many as 150 sailors from high schools across the region — Oregon and California too (a first) — will put knowledge and skills to test during the two-day sailing regatta, sponsored by the San Juan Sailing Foundation.

The regatta features a “fleet race”, in which “everybody gets a boat,” SJSC coach Dez Bridgmon said.

That means as many as 30 boats in the queue at the start line, with races averaging 8-15 minutes, depending on wind. Competition begin mid-morning on both days.

FH clamps down on Pioneers; 3-0

Austin Lambright drove in three runs and Otis Cooper-West quashed a late-game rally by striking out the final four batters of the game, as the Wolverines clinched a 3-0 win in the opener of a double header, Saturday, at home against Nooksack Valley.

With two outs, the bases loaded and the Pioneers threatening to score in the sixth inning, Cooper-West took the mound and fanned the first batter he faced to end the rally. In the seventh, he struck out the side to seal the victory.

With a win in the open-ing game, coupled with a 4-3 loss in second game (the first game counts in the teams district 1A sea-son series) the Wolverines

improved to 5-2 on the season.Next:Friday Harbor trav-

els to Lynden Christian Wednesday; hosts Cedar Park Christian April 6, beginning at noon, followed by Darrington, April 9.

Softball team rallies in 3-2 win

Kaylen Meeker dropped down the sacrifice bunt and speedy Emily Guard scored from second on the throw to first, as the Wolverines scored two runs in the sixth inning

to clinch a 3-2 come from behind win, Saturday, at home over Meridian.

With the victory, the F.H. softball team improved to 3-2 on the season.

Next: The Wolverines trav-

el Friday to Orcas, and host Darrington, Tuesday, April 9 beginning at 11:30 a.m.

Nine games into the season and the number “one” still looms large.

The Friday Harbor boys soccer team suffered its third consecutive defeat by a margin of just one goal, Saturday, in a 3-2 loss at home to Nooksack Valley — in overtime.

“We’re much better than we were last year,” team captain Brett Paul said of the Wolverines. “This team is way more dynamic. We just need to learn how to finish that last little bit.”

At the end of regulation, with the score tied 2-2, a defen-sive lapse by the Wolverines allowed the Pioneers’ Alejandro Hurado a clear shot at the goal from point-blank range with three minutes gone in the extra period. He drilled it past the outstretch arms of a diving Michael Barsamian, who found himself in a one-on-one situation in trying to defend the Friday Harbor goal.

The Pioneers prevented Friday Harbor from mounting a comeback over the next seven minutes of O.T. to seal the victory. The Wolverines fell to 2-7 on the heels of the defeat.

Earlier in the week, the Wolverines fell one goal short in a 2-1 loss at home, March 28, against Division 2A Sedro Woolley, and failed to best another one-goal margin in a 3-2

defeat on the road against Northwest High School. Next: Friday Harbor is home to host Meridian, Saturday, April

13; game time is 4:30 p.m.

A recipient of the Kiwanis Club’s ‘Everyday Hero’ award, Georgia Forbes, is flanked by the K-Club’s Nancy Fusare, left, and Samantha Bryner, right, following a March 29 surprise presenta-tion at Friday Harbor Elementary School.

‘Everyday Hero’ Like many do, Georgia Forbes distinctly recalls the day

that JFK was assassinated and what happened next. She started knitting, and she hasn’t stopped since. In fact, Forbes estimates she has knitted about 1,000 pair

of mittens — all for children — in 20 years as an elementary school volunteer, including the 200 or so she’s made over the last six-plus years for students of Friday Harbor Elementary School. She was a para-educator in the Shoreline School District for 13 years before moving to San Juan Island.

It’s with those mittens in mind, and the spirit of “going above and beyond” for the sake of the community they rep-resents, that prompted the Kiwanis Club to honor Forbes with it’s “Everyday Hero” award at a surprise presentation March 29 at the elementary school.

Excessive exposure to The Journal has been linked to increased community engagement and

overall personal awesomeness.!
