The Journal Journal staff report Nearly twice as many people living in San Juan County this year had no place to call home compared to the same time a year ago, according to the most recent homeless survey. Results of the 2015 “Point- in-Time” homeless count, a state-mandated single-day annual survey, show that 133 people living in the San Juans have no stable place to live. Of the 133 people identified as homeless in the 2015 count, 80 people, including children and disabled persons, were liv- ing out-of-doors, in vehicles or in abandoned building. The remainder had temporary or unstable living arrangements, typically with family or friends. The 2015 point-in-time sur- vey was conducted Jan. 29. Organizers of the count worked with volunteers, fam- ily resource centers, food banks, churches, healthcare, senior centers, libraries and the sheriff’s office to compile the results.

‘Home’ proves harder to find

By Scott RasmussenJournal editor

The relocation of Cattle Point Road began in earnest last week, as road construction crews carved out a corridor on a steep slope on the south side of Mount Finlayson, signaling the start of a new stretch of roadway that will soon rise up and over the west-facing landmark at the southern tip of San Juan Island.

The $6.2 million road replacement and realignment project will no doubt dominate the landscape at the south end of the National Parks Service’s American Camp and is antici-pated to be complete by mid-October, if not sooner. Though modest in scope, as construc-tion projects go—the length of road to be realigned measures roughly 1.3 miles—it’s the largest project on San Juan Island National Historical Park property in recent memory and the biggest for Parks Superintendent Lee Taylor.

“It’s a pretty big project and this is my first superintendency,” Taylor said. “So, I haven’t had to oversee a project like this before. So far, so good.”

By Janis Reid, Whidbey News-Times staff reporter

A mid-April house fire claimed the life of activist, pet rescue advo-cate and photographer Wendy Campbell Strang DeWinter.

Investigators believe the fire was accidental.

While DeWinter had disagree-ments personally and politically, those who knew her described her as passionate, giving and obsti-nately tenacious.

“Wendy was an awesome activist,” said her friend Becky

Spraitzar. “This is a tragedy. We’ve lost a really good person.”

DeWinter was not afraid to stand up for her beliefs.

When a few gun-toting resi-dents showed up at an Oak Harbor council meeting in 2013

to convince leaders to allow guns in parks, DeWinter was one of the few standing up to advocate for gun control. DeWinter was also known for holding signs in public places protesting Navy jet

pated a rise in homeless numbers, due to increased awareness of the survey and having more volunteers to assist with the count. State officials have reportedly seen a jump in the home-less population in many areas in the past year and an increase was expected in the

San Juans as well, accord-ing to county Affordable Housing Coordinator Melanie Rollins.

AlmanacSan Juan County Council, and the bulk of its cost will be paid for by a $5.5 million federal grant, secured by the county in June 2012, out of $42 million awarded that year for capital projects nationwide by the Federal Lands Access Program.

At its south end, Cattle Point Road connects the neigh-borhoods of Cape San Juan and Cattle Point Estates to other areas of the island, the only roadway leading to and from the south end, and it provides access to a historic lighthouse and a popular viewpoint that overlooks the intense tidal action in Cattle Pass and to the Olympic Mountain Range beyond.

Starting at the north side of the bluff, at Pickett’s Lane, the stretch of road that now winds along the base of Mount Finlayson will be moved 300 feet uphill from its current location. The right-of-way will pass about 150 feet below the 1.5-mile ridge trail that traverses its summit. The net-work of hiking trails that weave through Jakle’s Lagoon and Mount Finlayson will be unaffected by the roads’ eventual realignment and remain open during construction, accord-ing to NPS.

The Parks Service primary role during construction will be to watch for any uncovering of archeological pieces and for the endangered Island Marble Butterfly or disturbance

of the plants that sustain it. The Parks Service will also have a key role to play in the eventual rejuvenating of existing area of roadway once it’s removed.

Persistent erosion along the weather-worn bluff and threat of a potential road collapse prompted San Juan County officials to begin planning for relocating that stretch of roadway back in 2001.

Though erosion varies at different points along that 1.3-mile length of roadway, each year roughly 1.5 to 2 feet of the bluff tumbles to the waterfront far below, on average, according to Shannon Wilbur, project engineer for the county Public Works department.

Drivers headed to and from San Juan Island’s south end should expect 15-minute delays in the early morning hours and up to 30 minutes throughout the day, Monday through Friday, once construction begins.

According to a recently released report by the National Park Service, a total of 268,946 people visited San Juan Island National Historical Park in 2014. That number included hikers, bicyclists, beach walkers and site-seers, and no fewer than 33,000 people visited the Visitor’s Center at American Camp.

The road’s realignment is expected to prolong the life of the roadway by more than 70 years and also allow for an upgrade of the many utilities that lie within the road cor-ridor and that serve the south end of the island, according to Wilbur.

Journal staff reportLongtime Island Rec

Director Sally Thomsen will be stepping down from her post at the beginning of June.

Island Rec officials announced Friday, April 24, that Thomsen, director of San Juan Island Park & Recreation District for the past 15 years, submitted her resignation and that her last day will be June 5.

“Sally will be real-ly missed in her role as director," Island Rec Commission Chairman Bill Cumming said in a prepared statement. “Sally is directly responsible for our well run parks, excel-lent recreational program-ming and staffing, and for the administration these programs. We can't thank her enough for her dedi-cation to Island Rec as an organization and to the citizens of San Juan Island.”

The announcement of Thomsen’s pending depar-ture comes at a pivotal time for Island Rec, which is seeking renewal of its six-year property tax levy at a rate, 38.5 cents, that’s slightly more than twice what it is today. Island Rec’s existing levy expires at the end of the year. Passage of a new six-year levy requires a 60-percent or better

approval by voters. The requested amount

includes slight increases for Island Rec operations and for the portion of the levy that pays for the Friday Harbor High School sports program, 8.5 cents and 5 cents, respectively, and another 8 cents for mainte-nance and operation of the new ball fields complex and community park on Carter Avenue.

Participation in the park and recreation district pro-grams has risen steadily in the past several years. A total of 14,763 people took part in programs offered by Island Rec in 2014, a 5.4-percent increase over the 14,011 mark in 2013, a 12 percent increase over the previous year.

Island Rec must also repay $377,000 because of an error by the county asses-

sor and state audi-tors that a l l o w e d the agency to collect more in prop e r t y tax pay-m e n t s than it was entitled to

over the past several years. Thomsen will be joining

husband Tim Thomsen,

owner of San Juan Kayak Expeditions, in operat-ing the 35-year-old San Juan Island-based tour-ing business following her departure from Island Rec, Cumming said.

Former San Juan

County fairgrounds man-ager Maddie Ovenell has been hired to lead Island Rec while the commis-sion searches for a full-time director. The recruit-ment process is expected to progress through the summer with a hiring decision likely in early fall, Cumming said.

“We are extremely pleased that someone as qualified as Maddie was available to assume the role as interim director and are

looking forward to working with her,” he said.

Prior to her appoint-ment as fairgrounds manager in early 2013, Overnell worked as a recreation specialist for Lake Oswego Parks and Recreation District, a Portland-area suburb, and program director at Camp Orkila. She has a masters of science in recreation administration and B.A. in environmental studies and communications.

noise, frequently asking pointed questions of elected offi-cials and often giving speeches at government meetings.

“She was fearless,” Spraitzar said.She also made frequent calls to law enforcement about

her neighbors and had ongoing disagreements with them about the state of her property and the number of pets she housed as rescues. Sheriff Mark Brown said that, while her neighbors did frequently complain about her “eccentric” lifestyle, he said she seemed to like her privacy and was never problematic for deputies.

“I liked her,” Brown said. “She asked a lot of good ques-tions.”

Spraitzar said she got to know DeWinter while working on the campaign for former District 2 commissioner Angie Homola. Homola described DeWinter as “a rare and gifted human being.”

“She overcame adversity with a smile and contagious laughter, finding good even in the most challenging of circumstances,” Homola said. “Because she had an artistic capacity for detail, she was able to spearhead and organize community events that would normally take several people to accomplish. Her dedication to human kind, animals, and civic duty went above and beyond the norm.”

Her daughter, Claire Knutson, a Sedro Woolley resident, described her mother as “passionate” and strong in her abil-ity to overcome her disability. DeWinter, who had polio as

a young child, had little use of one arm and relied on her daughter for assistance with some tasks while Knutson was growing up.

Even so, Knutson also said that her mother “dedicated all her time to me” when she was a child. DeWinter taught her daughter that a disability wouldn’t hold her back.

“She showed me you can do it,” Knutson said. “Not every-thing, but you can do a lot.”

Born in Seattle, DeWinter attended Camp NorWester as a child and would later move to San Juan Island with daugh-ter Claire in the early 1980s. They relocated to Bellevue several years later and returned to Friday Harbor in the early ‘90’s, where DeWinter put her photography and writ-ing skills to use in San Juan newspapers and remained until relocating to Whidbey Island in 2000.

The descendent of one of Whidbey Island’s pioneer families, the Campbells, DeWinter took pride in her family heritage and its legacy and longevity in Washington state. She was the great-granddaughter of Leopold Schmidt, a German immigrant who settled in Tacoma and would later found the Olympia Brewing Company.

Marshall Goldberg, former chairman of the Island County Democrats, said he knew DeWinter as an active member of the party, who also assisted in a variety of issue-specific movements as well. These included rallying against Citizens United legislation and supporting single-payer health insurance.

“She was smart, caring, persistent and very conscien-tious,” Goldberg said. “What made her special is that she lived with at least one disability.”

And, in addition to her physical restrains, Goldberg said the 70-year-old had some trouble forming sentences and expressing herself at times.

“Despite all that, she would deliver some of the most concise and clear messages,” Goldberg said of her public speaking. “I was always impressed with her ability to com-municate in that venue. When she stood at the podium, she commanded respect.”

Preliminary findings have determined that DeWinter was the victim of a Tuesday morning fire at a home, identi-fied as DeWinter’s, in the Dugualla Bay neighborhood on North Whidbey. An autopsy and dental record check were expected be conducted Friday, April 17, to confirm the identity.

Another person staying on the property was taken to Whidbey General Hospital for treatment of minor burns and released.

“I still can’t get over it,” said friend and neighbor Bonnie Newkirk. “It’s pretty sad. I really will miss her. She was a dynamic person.”

(Family and friends of Wendy DeWinter will have a Celebration of Life get together May 17, at Bowmans Bay Park in Anacortes, beginning at noon. A Discover Pass or day fee is required for parking in the park).

NW 2B League title up for grabs in home stretch

The Wolverines will be riding a 3-game win streak heading into the home stretch of the regular sea-son, with a pivotal rematch looming against league-leading La Conner and the Vikings nipping at their heals.

The Northwest 2B/1B League title will likely be up for grabs when Friday Harbor first faces the Braves (6-1) followed by the Vikings (5-2) in the final two games of the regular season.

Bouncing back from a one-run loss April 14 at La Conner, Friday Harbor (5-1 league, 8-2 overall) notched its third consecu-tive win with a decisive 12-2

victory at home April 21 over league-rival Concrete. Senior Gabe Lawson struck out 11 over five innings on the mound and Kai Herko drove in four runs. Peter Holt had a pair of RBIs and Rio Black ripped a double and scored twice.

Three days earlier, senior Brandin Allen had two base-hits and drove in four runs, and Herko had a pair of base hits and two RBIs, to lead the Wolverines to a 11-1 victory at home over Shoreline Christian in the opening game of a would-be double header. Herko struck out 10 and got the win. The second game was called because of darkness, with Friday Harbor out in front 7-0 after three innings.

The Wolverines notched their second win of the season against a Division 1A team with a 5-3 vic-tory April 18 at Coupeville. Senior Isaiah Hauck had two base hits and drove in two of Friday Harbor’s five runs. Lawson, who posted the win, tossed four innings without giving up an earned run and James Guard threw three innings of scoreless relief.

Friday Harbor will face league foes Darrington and Cedar Park Christian on the road before returning home

to square off against La Conner Friday, May 1; game time is 4:30 p.m. at Hartman Field. The Wolverines travel to Orcas for the regular-season finale, May 4.

Timmons, Sarah net singles wins

The Friday Harbor girls tennis team netted its first two wins of the season, but came up short in doubles competition in a 4-2 loss on the road Friday, April 24, at Coupeville.

Senior Ashton Timmons, No. 1 singles, and sopho-more Yasmin Sarah, No. 2

singles, both split the first two sets of their respective matches and then each pre-vailed 10-8 in their respec-tive tie-breakers to bag a pair of victories.

Coupeville swept four consecutive doubles match-es, however, to win the match.

The Wolverines will host three consecutive matches, April 29, May 1 and May 6, beginning at 4:15 p.m. at the high school tennis courts, before finishing their reg-ular-season schedule on the road, May 7, at Forrest Ridge.

OPINION

Balance achieved by OPALCO Board

With their investment in the fiber backbone and their support of the new Rock Island Communications subsidiary, OPALCO board of directors have charted a course of action that is good for the county and good for the economy.

I support the incumbents, who I believe have struck the right balance in devel-oping their strategy going forward.

JIM HOOPERFriday Harbor

Clean-up calvary deserves a hand

It is hard to imagine that humans could improve on nature’s beauty of our San Juan Island, but many are doing just that.

Can you imagine our roadways looking like the freeways passing through cities around the country, littered with cans, bottles, Styrofoam containers, and other trash? Who would want to come here to hike or bicycle or even visit?

Every time I see the won-derful volunteers with their bags and bright vests pick-ing up roadside trash, it reminds me what a terrific place in which we live.

It is a shame that there always is an element who have no self-respect, nor respect for anyone else, who do the trash tossing. Let’s all give these volunteers a thumbs up.

FRED BOWENSan Juan Island

Kayaks left out of Parks plan…why?

I recently read the National Park Service’s Mitchell Hill and Westcott Bay Concept Plan and was disappointed in its recre-ational aspect.

The Westcott Bay acqui-sition could provide a new accessible all-ages kayak launching spot, something that, several years ago par-ticipants at a Mullis Center meeting sponsored by the various outdoor agencies (NPS, BLM, DNR, etc.) list-ed as a top priority.

Page 16 of the Plan points out that kayak access along Westcott Bay was identified as a desired recreational opportunity, but questions if the park should allow kayak use at Westcott Bay. The Plan presents 4 alterna-tives.

The only discussion of improving kayak access is in Alternative 4, which men-tions that a launch facility could possibly be provided at Westcott Bay. But that is not the Preferred Plan.

One gets the impression that the Park Service does not consider kayaking an appropriate use of the park. This is unfortunate.

The recreation uses of the park are listed on page 10: beachcombing, picnicking, viewing and photograph-ing wildlife, hiking, fitness and pet walking, general sightseeing and attending interpretive programs will continue.

The NPS will improve existing roads for bicycling use and horse-back riding will occur in designated areas (which will increase in several alternatives).

Not a word about kaya-king. As a hiker, bicycler

and kayaker I am disap-pointed that the NPS does not include kayak access at Westcott Bay in their pre-ferred plan (Alternative 3). If you agree with this, please let the Park Service know how you feel.

ERIC ADELBERGERSan Juan Island

Why incumbents deserve your vote

In light of the conversa-tions going on regarding Orcas Power and Light and the recent acquisition of Rock Island, I personally would like to thank Foster Hildreth and the current OPALCO board for hav-ing the foresight to make this very difficult decision to move forward with pro-viding broadband service to San Juan County.

Not having high-speed internet is a challenge to anyone currently doing business in the county and a hindrance to new business-es and individuals wishing to move here.

Vital county services are also at risk as became very apparently when service was cut last year.

As the owner of one of the companies working with OPALCO and Rock Island to install the infra-structure for this project we see it as a great opportunity to help the struggling con-struction industry and add a vital service for the entire community.

Some of you may think that the only reason I would write this letter is because my company stands to make money from this project.

I would answer that, yes, I hope to make a profit, which allows me to offer stable employment to more

people and be able to pay them a living wage.

While out in the field, I have heard much more pos-itive than negative toward this endeavor. I would ask that before voting you look at all of the facts surround-ing this issue, not just those of people making state-ments that may or may not be fact.

I am proud my company is able to be a part of this and would encourage a vote for the incumbent board members who stepped up to the plate to make this a project a reality.

JOHN D. THOMPSONOrcas Island

All the right ‘cred’; vote for Cornelius

We members of the OPALCO electric co-op are fortunate that retired

general manager Randy Cornelius stands willing to volunteer for the OPALCO board, to help us enjoy a safe, satisfying and produc-tive future in the San Juans.

He started his career as a lineman and worked his way to the top.

No one knows all the aspects of OPALCO as well as Randy. He was our GM for more than a decade.

Some OPALCO employ-ees agree that he looked after the best interests of both members and employ-ees. Randy is a team player with a can-do attitude.

We need his experience, his acumen and his vision to help secure our future excellence in electric service and fast 21st century com-munications.

He will make an out-standing member of the OPALCO Board. Vote for Randy.

Two-plus tons of litter? My, oh my!

Co-organizers of the 5th annual Great Island Clean-Up on San Juan Island, Lori Stokes, Jana Marks, and David Dehlendorf, would like to thank our island’s approximately 225 volun-teers who participated on April 18, helping to make San Juan Island “litter-free by the sea.”

A grand total of approxi-mately 1,600 pounds of litter was collected from our island’s roadsides and beaches.

Many groups provided enthusiastic litter-picker-uppers: Cub Scout Pack 4090, Cutthroat Pirates, Friday Harbor Labs, Friends of the San Juans, Islanders Bank, Kiwanis, League of Women Voters, Lions, Mitchell Pt. Litter Ladies & Gents, Paideia School, Ravenhill Construction, Rotary, San Juan County

Land Bank, San Juan County Parks, San Juan Island National Historic Park, Soroptimists, Stillpoint School, Trash Masters, and Washington State Ferries.

These groups were sup-plemented by the efforts of numerous unidenti-fied volunteers who picked up litter near their homes or businesses. A special thank you goes to the 52 youngsters from Cub Scout Pack 4090, Paideia School, and Stillpoint School who helped clean Eagle Cove, Jackson Beach, and the streets of Friday Harbor, respectively.

And a huge thank you goes to both Kira Bradshaw of Orcas and Nikyta Palmisani of Lopez, who organized parallel clean-up events on their islands.

Orcas and Lopez had a combined total of 175 par-ticipants who collected 4,600 pounds of litter!

Special acknowledge-ment also goes to San Juan Sanitation for picking up and disposing of the col-lected bags of litter on Orcas and San Juan, and to Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District for doing the same on Lopez.

Support for solar makes big waves

Many thanks to every-one who has supported Community Solar for Our Schools.

We have completed the solar array installation on Orcas High School, and installations are scheduled for Lopez, San Juan, and Shaw schools in the next couple of months.

The San Juan Islands Conservation District is gratified with the produc-tive partnership we have developed with OPALCO regarding accelerating energy efficiency and com-munity solar over the last 16 months--all top natural resource priorities of the

district. Thanks to the sup-port from OPALCO, our community was successful in developing a county-wide energy plan and being selected to participate in the national Georgetown University Energy Prize competition.

It is important for our

community to understand how we can reduce our car-bon footprint, use energy

more effectively, and do our part to lessen the impacts of

Editorial

Heave-ho all those hazards The Great Island Cleanup was another

sweeping success, on San Juan, Orcas and Lopez, too. Number five and counting.

Kudos to all.Now, it’s time to gear up for something a bit

more tricky but equally important. The 26th annual San Juan County sponsored Hazardous Waste Roundup begins Friday, May 8, starting at the transfer station on San Juan Island’s Sutton Road. Friday is dedicated exclusively for businesses, 1-3 p.m., with the following day, Saturday, open to households, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (businesses must pre-register, call 370-0534).

The roundups on Orcas and Lopez are Saturday, June 27, and Sunday, June 28, respectively. Here’s what you can get rid of: Pesticides and other poi-sons; gasoline and other fuels; wood preservatives, oil-based paints and stains; resins, solvents; pool and photo chemicals; polishes, degreasers, cleaning products and mothballs; fluorescent light tubes and compact fluorescent lamps.

Over the past 25 years, almost 400 tons—yes, tons—of pollutants have been disposed of safely, efficiently and economically: up to 25 gallons of your hazardous stuff can be jettisoned for free.

This is a classic no-brainer. These are dangerous materials that you can rid your household of at a fraction of the normal cost.

By Chris GreacenSpecial to the Journal

OPALCO plans to meet its burgeoning operating costs and debt payments through a new tariff struc-ture with unprecedented increases in fixed charges.

By 2019, the base rate will rise to nearly $78 per month before any electricity is used. This is particularly punitive to small users, including the elderly, those on fixed incomes, homes that practice energy conservation, and those with solar panels.

To some, that’s not a lot of money. For others, it means difficult choices between winter heat, putting food on the table, or dipping into life savings.

I sorted all OPALCO residential members into 10 equal groups (deciles) based on how much each consumes and found that high facilities charges impact these groups very differ-ently. The 10 percent that consumes the least electricity faces a bill increase of 132 percent to 171 percent by the year 2019, compared to what they would pay for the same amount of electricity in 2014.

The next 10 percent sees an increase of 93 percent to 132 percent. Strikingly, the 10 percent that uses the most will see their bills increase only 14 percent to 21 percent.

Regulatory authorities around the country deny utility requests for high fixed charges with few excep-tions. In March, PacifiCorp (UE 140762) requested a base  charge  increase to $14 a month, from the current $7.75, and were denied by the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC).  The Commission noted, “The Commission is not prepared to move away from the long-accepted principle that basic charges should reflect only “direct customer costs” such as meter reading and billing. Including distribution costs in the basic charge and increasing it 81 percent, as the Company proposes in this case, does not promote, and may be antithetical to, the realization of conservation goals.”

Avista (UE 140188) was granted a modest increase to $8.50 a month from the previous $8. They had requested

$15. In California, facilities charges are capped at $10 per month. Southern California Edison charges 99 cents while Pacific Gas & Electric charges less than $5.

OPALCO board member Bob Myhr asked, “what about utilities in other island areas, like Martha’s Vineyard?” Curious, I called up their utility, Eversource. There is no facilities charge.

These charges (even the ones that were denied) are far short of the $78 a month we’re going to be hit with. I don’t think OPALCO’s rate structure would have a prayer of being approved by the WUTC. But that’s a moot point because, as a co-op, OPALCO is not under the WUTC’s jurisdiction. It’s up to us—the owner-members of OPALCO.

Join me in requesting that OPALCO redesign its retail rate structure to make it consistent with long-accepted regulatory principle with facilities charges based only on direct customer costs (metering and billing) and not dis-tribution costs. Needed revenue can be made up through charges based on actual peak demand in a billing period, service amperage, or increases to “regular” energy charges (per kilowatt-hour).

We exercise our regulatory authority when we vote in OPALCO elections. This isn’t much of a lever, consider-ing the nuances and the candidate pool. I encourage votes for Winnie Adams and Randy Cornelius and “yes” on the member-initiated bylaw change.

Graph by C. GreacenThe 10% of OPALCO members who consume the least electricity (decile 1) will see the highest increase. The range of winter bill increase (in year 2019 compared to 2014) for each decile is indicated by the black box graphs; average consumption (kWh per month) by each decile is shown in the shaded bar graph.

Agnetta Wilhelmina Felthous passed away from natural causes on April 17, 2015 at the age of 94.

She was born on March 26, 1921 in Seattle, Washington to Ole and Anna Blindheim. She was raised in north Seattle and graduated from Lincoln High School. Talented in piano and accordion, she and her brother Alvin were one of the early accor-dion duets in Seattle.

During World War II, Agnetta married Robert A. Felthous, a lieutenant in the Navy. The young couple lived several years in San Francisco and then briefly in Seattle, before moving to Selah, Wash. in 1947.

For the next 25 years they lived and raised their family, Alan, Linda, and Dean in Selah. Agnetta was a devoted wife, homemaker and mother serving as a den mother in Cub Scouts for Dean and Alan, and as a leader for Linda’s Blue Bird, Campfire Girls, and

Job’s Daughters groups.From 1976 to 1978, Agnetta and Bob lived in Olympia, Wash.

Then the two moved to their vacation home on Cape San Juan, San Juan Island, Wash. There they enjoyed the first 25 years of retire-ment. As health concerns mounted they then moved to Warm Beach Senior Community Center, in Stanwood, Wash. Agnetta was a resi-dent of Rose Garden Adult Family home in Mill Creek, Wash. at the time of her death.

Agnetta and Bob enjoyed many years of their retirement traveling in their RV and for several years wintered in a retirement community

in Tucson, Ariz.Agnetta is survived by her three children, Alan Robert Felthous (Mary), Linda Ann

Felthous, and Dean Munro Felthous (Rosemarie); four grandchildren: Erik (Lisa), Emily (Anthony), Elizabeth (Charles), and Alisa (Scott), and nine great grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother Alvin Blindheim and four nephews, Mark, Steve, Neil, and Dale.

A burial service was conducted at the Friday Harbor Cemetery on Friday, April 24, at noon, followed by a memorial service on Saturday, April 25, at Mukilteo Presbyterian Church, Mukilteo, Wash.

Suggested memorials: Friday Harbor Presbyterian Church, Warm Beach Senior Community Center or Providence Everett Cancer Center.

The headliner of this year’s Children’s Fest, sponsored by Island Rec, is Rainbow of Hawaii, a well-traveled and renowned troupe of musi-cians and dancers that have been performing in Hawaii, Seattle and across Washington state for 30 years, averaging about 100 performances each year and recently featured at the World

Hula Conference. The ensemble will have two performances, at 11 a.m. and at noon.

The Children’s Festival gets under way at 10 a.m. at the Fairgrounds in Friday Harbor.

The opening act will feature San Juan Island’s very own Ballet Folklorico, which will

d anc e a hula to a song from the animated film “Lilo and Stitch,” beginning at 10:30 a.m.

In addition to the fes-tival’s featured entertain-ment, dozens of community and civic groups will pro-vide all kinds of hands-on children’s activities as part of the yearly, daylong event designed especially for kids,

and that also prove exceedingly popular with anyone whose “young at heart.”

For more infor-mation, call 378-4953, or visit www.islandrec.org.

With the Ken Balcomb of the Center for Whale Research in the lead and legendary radio announcer Pat O’Day at the micro-phone, the pagentry, profile and panche of the 2015 Opening Day Boat Parade in Friday Harbor promises to be a memorable occasion. Still, a little help from Mother Nature—in the form of blue skies and sunshine—wouldn’t hurt.

The theme of this year’s event is “Boating in the San Juans… A Whale of a Good Time,” and it gets under way at 2:30 p.m., Saturday, May 2, at the Port of Friday Harbor. The parade’s lead boat, the “Baten,” designed and built at Jensen’s Shipyard, will be skippered by San Juan Island’s very own Dr. Carolyn

Haugen. The parade is open to all types and size of

watercraftt, whether they be power, sail, or human-powered, and prizes await the win-

ners of four separate categories: most creative display of the theme; nautical display of tra-ditional signal flags; classic wooden boat; and the commercial category.

Registration is free, but entrants must reg-ister to be in the parade. The Port of Friday Harbor offers free moorage on the night of the parade for registered entrants. The Yacht Club will also host an “Opening Day” brunch, Sunday, May 3, 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., for $17.50, payable at the door.

Register for the parade online at, www.sjiyc.com. Contact the Port of Friday Harbor about free moorage on the night of the parade; 378-6114, or [email protected].

Did you know there’s a world-class marine research cen-ter in your own backyard?

It’s true. Better yet, you’ll soon have that once-a-year opportunity to get to know the scientists, students and research facilities at University of Washington Friday Harbor Laboratories a whole lot better.

The Labs annual Open House is Saturday, May 16, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Students and scientists will be on hand to showcase their research, answer questions and provide demonstrations. Posters, research boats, scientific equip-ment, plankton sampling, microscopes, marine plants and animals, and activities for all ages are all part of the annual event. So are the ever-popular underwater SCUBA demon-stration and tours of the Labs 58-foot research vessel, the Centennial.

Free popcorn will be available, in keeping with Open House tradition, and hot dogs and snacks are available for purchase on the deck of the dining hall. Sturdy shoes are recommended.
