The

Journal

By Scott RasmussenJournal Editor

The Friday Harbor Village apartment complex was purchased by a Seattle-based investment firm for $940,000 at auction Friday, in the lobby of the San Juan County Courthouse.

Carson Rasmussen of Fairview Investment Fund, who submitted the winning bid at the Jan. 30 foreclo-sure sale, said the firm’s intent for the apartments is to “rent them” and that he and his partners have no immediate plan to alter the rent restrictions on the 26 units that have historically made them affordable for low to moderate income households.

“For right now, the plan is to let all the tenants stay and keep rents as they are,” Rasmussen said. “As they leave, we may consider lifting the restrictions on those that become vacant but at this point we’re not really sure about that.”

Because of long-standing legal restrictions for sake of affordability, monthly rents at Friday Harbor Village for income-qualified tenants typically cost about $700

for two-bedroom units, of which there are eight, $800 for three-bedroom units, of which there are 12, and $875 for the four-bedroom units, of which there are six, according to the company website.

Located at 445 Carter Avenue, Friday Harbor Village was previously owned by Friday Harbor Village Limited Partnership and managed by Ad West Realty. Friday Harbor Village Partnership, with offices in Seattle and Las Vegas, owed $849,793 on the prop-erty as of May 1, 2013, according to a published legal notice about the pending foreclosure sale.

At auction, bidding began at a fixed minimum of $916,906. Rasmussen, who first offered $920,000, outbid Rolf Dagg with a final bid of $940,000 after a series of back-and-forth bidding at the auction, which was overseen and administered by San Juan Island’s Leslie Brennan.

The sale of Friday Harbor Village comes at a time when affordable rentals have become increasingly harder to find on San Juan Island, according to local housing advocates. The pool of affordable rentals con-tinues to shrink as more second homes and cottages are converted to vacation rentals, advocates contend.

Rasmussen said incentives for bidding on the apart-ments included the attractiveness of the local market

FH apartment complex fetches $940K at auction

Orca Network’s Howard Garrett has been on a press tour in sunny Florida. He spoke to individual reporters and at widely attended press conferences. His words were broadcast across major news networks, and he was even featured on Good Morning America.

His media exploits were on behalf of Lolita, the Southern Resident orca whale that’s been living in captivity for more than 40 years at Miami’s Seaquarium.

As the National Marine Fisheries Service weighs in on its final decision of whether or not to include Lolita in the Endangered Species Act listing of the Southern Resident Killer Whales, over a thousand activists from throughout the nation gathered in Miami on Jan. 17, for the “Miracle March for Lolita,” a rally aimed at bringing Lolita home to her native waters in Washington state.

“We marched to show the world we’re on Lolita’s side,” Garrett said. “Grand protests rein-force legal efforts, raise issues, answer ques-tions and propel the media.”

The march was organized by Robin Jewell, a Michigan native captivated by Lolita’s plight.

Lolita was taken from the Puget Sound in 1970. Captured in Penn Cove, she was some-where between three and five years old. While

it’s been over 44 years since last contact with her kin, Lolita still makes the calls specific to her family. Lolita is a member of L-pod.

A San Juan Island man accused of selling heroin and methamphetamine to an informant working with local detectives is slated to stand trial on a trio of felony drug charges in mid-March.

On Jan. 30, Troy Leonard Kirk, 44, pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to two counts of delivery of heroin and to one count of delivery of methamphet-amine, both of which are Class B felonies and carry maxi-mum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both. Bail was set at $50,000 pending a March 16 trial.

A 38-year island resident, Kirk was arrested Jan. 16 at his Friday Harbor home following an investigation by the Sheriff 's department in late summer. He allegedly sold less than a gram of heroin on two occasions (a total of 1.2 grams for $175), and $20 worth of meth on one occasion, to an informant who volunteered to make a series of undercover drug buys as part of the investigation. The informant, who claimed to have bought drugs from Kirk before, hoped to

gain favorable consideration from law enforcement officials on pending criminal charges by participating in the investi-gation, according to court documents.

It's the second time that Kirk faces prosecution for alleged drug dealing in the past four years. Following a 2011 arrest for alleged delivery of methamphetamine, he pleaded guilty to "solicitation to commit" delivery, a lesser offense, and was sentenced to 24 months of community custody under a drug-sentencing alternative in early 2012. Following repeated violations of court orders associated with the sen-tencing alternative, he was ordered to serve 60 days in jail, 30 of which he was allowed to serve on work crew.

Felony theft defendant dodges hearing, $10K arrest warrant issued

A $10,000 bench warrant was issued for the arrest of a Burlington woman who lives part-time on Orcas Island, and who is accused of using a credit card belonging to an elderly woman to purchase $500 in ferry tickets.

On Jan. 16, Sheri Denielle Deraimo, 25, failed to appear at an arraignment hearing in San Juan County Superior Court. She faces nine counts of identity theft, a Class C felony, and was released on $10,000 bail following a December 31 pre-liminary hearing and pending arraignment on the charges.

If arrested and convicted, Deraimo would face maximum penalties of five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.

According to prosecutors, Deraimo used the numbers of a credit card belonging to a 95-year-old Orcas Island woman to purchase $507 worth of ferry tickets online over a two-week period beginning in mid-August.

The woman reportedly left the credit card at Island Market after buying groceries at the Eastsound store in early summer. The card was retrieved by her daughter-in-law in late July.

With cooperation of the state ferry system and its surveil-lance cameras, and later with a search warrant served on Google, detectives targeted Deraimo as the primary suspect in the alleged theft after tracing license plates, ferry ticket purchases online and the email account through which the purchases were made.

and the price. Compared to what might be a similar sale in a metropolitan area, he said the public auction of Friday

Harbor Village offered an opportunity to “get a good deal” without contend-ing with as much competition.

He said that a business partner has family ties on the island and the sale was an opportunity to become involved

in an attractive market.“We like Friday Harbor, and like the

market,” he said.— Editor’s note: Carson Rasmussen of Fairview Investment Fund is no relation to Journal editor Scott Rasmussen.

Auction: Cont. from page 1

Worried what those unidentified objects up in the sky are up to? Well, so is Representative Jeff Morris of the state’s 40th legislative district.

The Washington state House Technology and Economic Development Committee held public hearings Jan. 21 on two pro-posed bills from Rep. Morris (D-Mount Vernon) to strengthen privacy laws regard-ing new and emerging technologies.

House Bills 1093 and 1094 would limit the collection of Washingtonians’ personal data by use of unmanned aircraft (drones) and various emerging biometric data col-lection tools.

As drones become more commonly owned by companies and everyday citizens, state lawmakers are looking at ways to pro-tect citizens from privacy violations.

Morris’ proposed legislation (HB 1093)

would prohibit drones with active sensing devices from collecting personal informa-tion — including images of an individual on private property — without the individual’s consent, unless the federal government has provided specific authorization or the drone is clearly labeled with the name and contact information of the owner.

“As drones become more popular with hobbyists, we need to protect citizens from the collection of private information with-out their consent,” Morris said. “Just as you can’t hop the fence onto your neighbor’s private property and take photos of them in their bathroom, you shouldn’t be able to fly

your drone in front of their window and do the same.”

Technology allow-ing companies to col-lect biometric data is not limited to science fiction—iris scans, facial recognition and voice recognition technologies already

exist, but have yet to be largely used in the com-

mercial and retail industries. Morris’ pro-posed HB 1094 would establish regulations and limitations on how this information could be collected and used in the future.

Under this legislation, the collection of biometric identifiers of an individual for a commercial purpose without consent

would be prohibited. After gaining consent from the consumer, the collector could not sell, lease or disclose the data without receiving additional consent. There would be an exemption for sharing biometric data with law enforcement under warrant.

“This bill would establish some rules of deployment before we get into the usual cat-and-mouse game we often experience with new technologies,” Morris said. “This gives consumers control over their most person-ally identifiable information. In a way, we are trying to create a sense of copyright ownership over your own face.”

The bill would protect commercial col-lection of biological identifiers such as fingerprints, DNA, hand geometry, palm prints, iris scans, and facial imaging, and behavioral identifiers like voice and gait recognition.

Would-be legislation limits data collection by drones

Prince of the Rain Realm

Charles T. Karpf: 1921-2015

Charles (Chuck) Karpf died at his home in Friday Harbor, Wash., on Jan. 30. He was 93.

A memorial service will be held at the Presbyterian Church on Wednesday, Feb. 4, at 1 p.m.

Chuck was born Feb. 4, 1921 to Henry C. Karpf and Lodicea Ann Babcock in Morrill, Neb. He spent his early years in Morrill and then moved to Omaha, Neb. He gradu-ated from Omaha Central High School in 1939, and attended the University of Colorado before entering the U.S. Army.

In 1946, he returned to Omaha to begin his career in banking.

Chuck was president and CEO of the First National Bank in Morrill, Neb. He was active in local and state banking, his community and church, and was on the school board for many years.

Chuckwas married to Elizabeth Jean Scott and had four children; Charles T. (Tiff) Karpf, Jr., Sarah (Sally) Elizabeth, Henry Scott (Scott) and Barbara Ann. They divorced in 1966.

In 1976 he married Jo Ann Crawford. They made their home in Morrill, Neb., until his retirement in 1986. They then moved to Friday Harbor, Wash. He quickly discov-ered his love of boating, becoming a personal tour guide of land and sea to all visitors, family and friends. Spending time with people, listening to their stories and just being with them meant so much to him.

Chuck is survived by his wife, Jo Ann, his children, Tiff (Margy), Sally (Greg), Scott (Gayla) and Barbara; step-children John Crawford and Kimmerly (Don) Johnson, 20 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his first wife, Elizabeth, stepdaughter Gayle Fernandez and grand-daughter Elizabeth.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hospice of San Juan, P.O. Box 1434, Friday Harbor, WA, 98250.

ObituariesSpearheaded by a petition submit-

ted by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, NMFS put forth an official proposal to remove the exclusion of captive whales from the ESA listing of the Southern Residents in January 2014. If accepted, it would be federally mandated that Lolita receive protec-tion from “harm and harassment.”

The official decision was estimated to be reached by Jan. 25, 2015, but has been pushed back to February.

While the protest in Miami was pur-posely held right before NMFS would reach its final decision on the fate of Lolita’s federal protection, its effects were felt subtly, not outright.

“We heard about it,” NMSF Spokesperson Michael Milstein said. “The depth of concern and feeling about this is not a surprise. This is a

major decision and people are watch-ing very closely.”

Milstein said a final agreement will be reached soon. Delays are partial-ly due to over 17,000 public com-ments submitted for assessment, and a lengthy review process where offi-cials from both the regional office and NMFS headquarters in Maryland need to be in agreement.

Not all public comments submitted to NMFS are in favor of Lolita’s release, not all comments to the media either.

On the day of the march for Lolita, Seqaurium Curator Robert Rose told NBC News that if Lolita were trans-ported back to her native Washington waters she would die.

He likened Lolita’s fate to the story of Keiko, the orca featured in the movie “Free Willy.” Keiko died five years after he was returned to his native waters in Iceland.

Keiko’s death can be linked to the fact that he never reunited with his family, Garrett said.

In 1994 Ken Balcomb, whale scientist and founder of the Center for Whale Research, recom-mended to orga-nizers of Keiko’s release that his

family be located right away. “If they had done any of that the

Keiko story might have gone on,” Garrett said.

If released, a protected cove in the Salish Sea has been chosen to accom-modate Lolita. The area will be netted off and provisioned with fish she’s used to eating as she re-acclimates to life in the wild.

Orca calls have been picked up on the Lime Kiln hydrophone from as far as Port Angeles, a distance of about 20 miles. Garrett estimates that when L-pod comes up around Discovery Island and Haro Strait, Lolita will hear their calls and answer.

A contingency plan for perpetual care will be in place in the event that Lolita doesn’t reunite with her family.

Jared Goodman, PETA lawyer and spearhead of the original petition to include Lolita in the ESA listing, is confident NMFS will chose to place Lolita under federal protection.

His hope is that the agency will enforce her release. If not, legal action will ensue to prove that the orca’s cur-rent situation at Seqaurium constitutes as harm and harassment.

Orca: Continued from page 1 “This is a major decision & people are watching very closely.”

From the pitter patter of little paws to the jingling of leashes and collars, you can hear Elizabeth Farr coming.

The self proclaimed “crazy Dachshund bag lady,” rais-es money for the veterinary care of rescue Dachshunds, and helps get them placed in forever homes.

“I feel compelled to help Dachshunds,” Farr said. “I hear the stories from the rescues and I have to do something.”

It all started when Farr’s Doberman was having anxiety issues, and needed a friend. She got her first Dachshund from Oregon Dachshund Rescue, a Portland-based no kill shelter with a tendency toward long-torso and short-legged dogs from California, Oregon and Washington.

She began long-distance volunteering for the shelter by making and selling reusable shopping bags at the local farmers’ markets, holiday market, and San Juan Island Co-op. Farr makes the bags from items she finds at thrift stores. Proceeds from Farr’s bags go toward vet bills as many of the dogs that come into the shelter are neglected and require medical attention.

Farr started out with just 14 bags for sale, and now has a pile of them stacked higher than a Dachshund on its hind legs.

In her years of raising funds for “Doxies,” Farr has become more than just a bag lady. She sells decoupaged vintage day cases, vests and sweaters for pets, potted plants, and dog beds made out of sweaters— “so when they lay in them it looks like they’re being held,” she says in cooing voice.

“If it’s not nailed down,” she said. “I’ll try and sell it.” She’s doing well for these little hot dogs. In 2014 Farr raised over $4000 for the Oregon

rescue, and put in over 700 hours making and selling her products. She also makes trips down to Portland several times per year to help make room in the shelter, which becomes inundated with Dachshunds. She calls these trips “dog runs,” and has had as many as five dogs in her car for the ride back to San Juan.

The dogs she picks up are placed at the local animal shelter in Friday Harbor, where they are put up for adoption. From litters of puppies to full grown dogs, the adoption rate of the Dachshunds Farr brings in is good. She feels very satisfied when she sees “alumni doxies,” around town with their new owners.

The most recent round of Dachshunds Farr brought to the local shelter went fast, except for one. Radar is a one-year-old, Basset-Dachshund mix still looking for a home. Farr describes him as an energetic, cheerful and happy dog that was neglected, but not abused.

Farr has a big heart filled with stories of triumph and tragedy. Like the time she just happened to be on a dog run

down in Oregon when the Dachshund Rescue got word of a dog in California that was going to be put down.

Thanks to a slew of people, the dog was transported up the I-5 corridor and Farr received her in Portland. She brought her back to Friday Harbor, where it turned out the dog was pregnant and gave birth to seven healthy puppies, all of which were adopted from the Island

Then there was the female dog that Farr brought to Friday Harbor after a homeless man surrendered her to the Portland Shelter. The dog developed a cough which turned out to be distemper—a contagious, viral illness with no cure. Farr slept on the floor of the isolation room with the dog the night before she was put down.

But everything she does is worth it, even if Farr can only show a Dachshund a little love in its life. Most of the time, she gets the change to absolutely spoil them. Like her cur-rent crew of two, Bridget and Nigel, both clad in stylish vests made from a designer skirt.

“It’s my duty to spoil them,” she said. “And to help pay for as many Dachshunds as I can.”

If you are interested in meeting Radar visit the animal shelter in Friday Harbor, and keep an eye out for Farr’s next

round of Dachshunds coming through.

Board fumbles in nixing broadcasts

Despite the two EMS levy failures in 2014, the San Juan County Public Hospital District No. 1 Board and EMS administra-tion have not made mean-ingful changes, and contin-ue to run business as usual.

At a recent SJCPHB meet-ing, all five board members voted not to approve video or live-streamed meetings. They all felt that it was not cost-effective at this time as they are now under “tight budgetary constraints” due to the levy failure.

They were also not sure if there was enough interest.

Technology is available now that makes it easier for the public to be involved in government without having to be somewhere at a specif-ic time. Costs are reasonable and more affordable than even a few years ago.

For less than $2,400 a year for the basic service and a minimal investment of $100-$200 in equipment, the public could view the meetings by video or, for a little more, a live-streaming of the hospital board meet-ing as it’s happening.

Why would the board not want to provide better transparency to the taxpay-ers? Not only would this give more of the public better access, it would also allow the hospital board to show their good faith by taking steps to regain the trust that people once had with EMS.

Board Chairman J.Michael Edwards stated he had a difficult time maneu-

vering the county website as one reason against stream-ing. It’s really not very dif-ficult for a person of aver-age intelligence to learn and there’s always a young 14-year-old that could show you the ropes. In the end, the board decided to poll the public for their interest.

I believe EMS’s mis-management of their bud-get, failure to show fiscal responsibility and their lack of transparency raised ques-tions of doubt during the election. Now would be a good time to have more eyes on the hospital board so we can all see some meaning-ful and long lasting changes happening within EMS and SJCPHD#1.

Writer in error on WSF project costs

The letter from Herb Schiessl titled “Money not well spent at ferry terminal,” Jan. 21, pg. 6, questions the costs to implement the res-ervations program, point-ing to a recently-awarded $199.5 million contract.

Mr. Schiessl is correct that SR20 MP55.67 is the DOT milepost for the Anacortes terminal, but that has noth-ing to do with that particu-lar contract. That was for one of the famous highway mega-projects, the western approach to the new 520 floating bridge, and has nothing to do with ferries.

As mentioned, the costs for the reservations system do include some additional personnel at Anacortes, which frankly should have been added some time ago. And there is a project on the WSDOT books to widen the SR20 approach to the terminal, but not until

2017-2019.It is great to see folks

keeping an eye on how the state spends our money, but we should all be careful to keep our facts straight.

UFOs seen in skies over Vashon, too

I saw the orange lights in the sky that Jim Dunn saw, (“Friday Harbor man reports UFO sighting,” Jan. 28, pg. 2) but the month before.

It was a clear night. I went to my sliding doors to pull the curtains. I had just looked at my watch, when I saw them. This is what I wrote of the experience:

On the night of Dec. 22, 2014, at 7:35 p.m., for five or more minutes, I saw fireballs in the sky over the north end of Vashon Island, Wash. I immediately went outside. All was silent.

The strange phenomena that I can only describe as fireballs were extremely bright, orange disks with pinkish-bright edges or cen-ters. I might have seen a bit of metallic rim to one, as I tried to observe as closely as I could.

The five disks were beau-tiful and seemed individu-ally either to burn up, or fade off in space. I live on a hill and watched, mesmer-ized, until below me on the island, five more fireballs in extremely rapid succession shot over the trees in a west to east trajectory, seeming to rise out of Puget Sound, skimming from the horizon upward into the night sky.

The fact that there was no

sound confirmed to me that these were not flares (they did not fall downward), and not fireworks, or drones. To add to my astonishment, the objects became jittery, then flew into two formations. One fairly rectangular, the other more linear.

I called my in-laws, living on the road above, to look out their window. My sister-in-law later described what she had seen as a big red ball in the sky. The objects never moved toward Seattle, stay-ing in front of my vision, northward, until they were gone.

I tried a local editor here, to see if others had wit-nessed the event, especially since Vashon is the site of the recent movie, “Incident on Maury,” about a UFO in 1947, but to no avail. So I am so grateful to you, Dennis, the Journal, and to Jim Dunn for publishing this. And giving me some-where to share this happen-ing.

I tell every one I can. And one of those friends, in

Ohio, had seen your article online and emailed me.

INA WHITLOCKVashon Island

Of carbon, trees and tax breaks

Several years ago a friend expressed her frustration about her need to drive a car, which only added to the destruction of the air quality and contributed to global warming.

The lack of oxygen in our atmosphere is a solvable problem. Trees are what transform CO2 (carbon dioxide) into oxygen. The number of old growth for-ests left are less than 5 per-cent at this point. Incentives therefore need to be in place that preserve and sustain the forests.

There are some Washington state programs that attempt to steward for-est land through a tax break on the land, e.g. “Designated Forest Land,” but it requires a show of profit from har-

vesting those same trees at some point.

Not all, but a large per-centage of owners agree to harvest their trees in order to receive the tax break. This option doesn’t serve forests, animals or future genera-tions. Instead, it makes the situation worse by exacer-bating the problem.

After pondering this dilemma, I came up with the following possibility as a partial remedy:

I have thousands of trees at least 10 years old. I will lease the trees’ ability to transform CO2 to oxygen to someone who wants to offset their fossil fuel or car-bon output. Twenty trees are leased for 10 years at a cost of $35 per tree, i.e., a one-time payment of $700 covers the length of the 10-year contract.

The monies received go into planting more trees which in turn produce more oxygen, a stable forest and a sustainable tax solution for people who want to have

Where have all the babies gone?I used to think babies came with

the flow. Not this year.

After having a Baby Derby in the Journal for nearly 30 years we’ve come to a new record… with 31 days in January, and checking with all the local hospitals, we have yet to know who will be crowned the 2015 Baby Derby winner in San Juan County.

What’s going on around here? (Or should I ask, “What wasn’t going on this past March?”)

As we write, we’re on the deadline for January’s cus-tomary Baby Derby Winner in San Juan County. Back in the 90s, we averaged about 10 contenders in the month of January. We even had five born on one memorable New Year’s Day!

The stakes have doubled since then (now there’s over $600 in value in our so-called “baby booty,” a collection of family friendly donations provided by 23 island busi-nesses and local merchants).

The weddings have certainly kept pace. Even the ferries haven’t helped out. I can think of at

least five babies born on the ferries during my 35 years on the islands (I hope the reservation systems will help).

One thing is for sure. We will breathe a deep sigh of relief, as will the birthing corridors at St. Joseph’s, Skagit Valley, Islanders and Peace Health, with whom we check each day, since our potential derby winners lined up at the starting gate New Year’s Eve.

Be reassured… it will still be a winner even if it comes in February, God bless it!

By Boyd Pratt & Roger EllisonAt its Jan. 7, 2015 business meeting, San Juan Island

Grange No. 966 resolved to oppose the proposed morato-rium on marijuana production.

Even though the San Juan County Council has with-drawn the proposal, San Juan Island Grange No. 966 would like to make clear its position towards the regulation of marijuana production in San Juan County.

The Grange movement in the United States is rich with the traditions and struggles of farm families and rural farm communities. The local, state, and national granges have always, and continue to, advocate politically on issues important to rural families, including the right to farm, good government, land use policy, rural access to new tech-nologies and vital services, job development, and strong rural economies.

Part of the mission of San Juan Island Grange No. 966 is “to support a resilient community of growers, makers, and keepers” and “to foster social and political engagement.”

In 2012, the voters of San Juan County overwhelmingly endorsed the passage of I-502, legalization of marijuana, by the largest majority in Washington state. A small number of local farmers, entrepreneurs, and county residents have endeavored in good faith to comply with all existing local and state rules, laws, and regulations pertaining to develop-ing their farms and farm products.

The proposed San Juan County moratorium on mari-juana production would have placed new and unnecessary restrictions on growers without substantiating an imminent emergency. The Agricultural Resources Committee and the San Juan County Community Development and Planning Department are already committed to a working group to study marijuana farming and other agricultural issues in 2015.

San Juan Island Grange No. 966 resolved at its Jan. 7 business meeting to oppose the proposed moratorium on marijuana production, because:

n It is a core purpose of the county government to main-tain such commons as air, water, topsoil, healthy ecosys-tems, fair economic systems, and just political systems;

n The county should make preservation of farm land and support for local agriculture an economic and land use priority; and

n Decisions concerning agriculture and protection of farm land should come from research and recommenda-tions conducted and written by individuals and organiza-tions made up of farmers, the ARC, SJC CD&P, and others qualified to study and analyze existing farm conditions and new farming strategies.

Grange No. 966 felt that regulations that come from a joint ARC/CP&D working group must recognize the fol-lowing points:

• The best agricultural soils in our county must be reserved in perpetuity for growing food and feed;

• Greenhouses are an appropriate way to increase resil-ience by increasing the growing season for many food and feed crops;

• Food production is so fundamental to the resilience of a community that it must at times take precedence over concerns over noise and light pollution; and

• Marijuana is now a legal agricultural crop and should be recognized by the county and treated the same as the culti-vation of food, feed, wine grapes, hops, spirits, food grade and medicinal herbs, and all other recognized agricultural crops with regard to policies, regulations, and all other gov-ernmental actions.

Looking for more from Olympia

I greatly appreciated the guest column by state Senator Kevin Ranker in the

Jan. 28 issue of The Journal, “Legislative priorities for the 2015 Olympia session,” pg. 7.

I am in agreement with Sen. Ranker that top priori-ties for the current legisla-tive session include a bal-anced budget that protects education and other critical programs, protecting access to contraception and fam-ily planning, making pol-luting industries financially accountable and regulating the transport of hazardous materials.

I hope that Sen. Ranker will add reforming our criminal justice system to his list of top priori-

ties. There will be several bills before the legislature this year aimed at replac-ing costly incarceration through drug treatment, job training and education. The senator’s support of these measures will go a long way toward seeing them enacted into law. I urge The Journal to invite our representa-tives, Kristine Lytton of

Anacortes and Jeff Morris of Mount Vernon, to share their views and priorities in guest columns in the near future. I urge all islanders to keep in touch with our representatives during the legislative session this win-ter. They can be reached at: http://leg.wa.gov/.

A feisty and fleet-of-foot Falcons team made the most of a lavish number of opportunities at the free-throw to deal Friday Harbor a 60-53 come-from-behind defeat, Saturday, on the Wolverines home court.

The loss in the Jan. 31 non-league contest, a preview of a possible early round 2B regional post-season match up, snapped a 10-game win-streak by the Wolverines (11-0 league, 14-3 overall), who last lost dated back to Dec. 20. They defeated Mount Vernon Christian 61-25 the day before to tally a fourth consecutive win over a Northwest 2B/1B oppo-nent by 20 points or more.

The Falcons proved to be an entirely different type of team.

"They made us play at a pace we’re not quite used to," Friday Harbor Coach Rod Turnbull said. "That's how we expected they'd play. But our guys battled back after they took the lead and we had a chance at the end. We had a couple of turnovers in the last minutes that didn't help."

Auburn Adventist (15-2) senior Kye Robinson was a perfect 20-of-20 from the free-throw line and tossed in a game-high 35 points, including back-to-back three-point-ers in the waning moments of the third quarter that tilted a back-and-forth contest the Falcons way and put the visitors up by six, 45-39, heading into the final period of play.

Senior Peter Strasser carried the offensive load for Friday Harbor in the opening half, tossing in 14 of a team-high 18 points before the break. Gabe Lawson, John Gustafson and Kyle Jangard scored eight apiece in the game, and Luke Stromberg added six.

The Wolverines, plagued by foul trouble throughout the contest and trailing by four with just over a minute on the game clock, played without their scoring leader down the stretch, as Strasser was whistled for a fifth and final foul with 1:33 remaining in regulation.

Over the course of the 32-minute game, the Wolverines knocked down six of only 10 attempts at the free-throw line. The Falcons buried 29 attempts in 34 trips to the charity stripe.

The Wolverines jumped out to an early advantage, capi-talizing on its size advantage in the paint and a succession put backs on the offensive glass to stake an 18-7 lead at the close of the opening period. The Falcons battled back into the contest with a tenacious, ball-hawking full-court press that disrupted Friday Harbor's offensive flow,

and with swift, decisive ball movement on the offensive end that led to a wealth of open looks from beyond the 3-point arc.

Trailing by five with 3:30 left in regulation, junior Luke Stromberg knocked down a three-pointer to bring the Wolverines within two points. But the Falcons managed to keep the ball in Robinson's hot hand and the 5-foot, seven-inch senior guard netted 10 successive free throws to seal the victory for the visitors.NextThe Wolverines will close out a 20-game regular-season

schedule with three league games beginning Tuesday, at home, against Cedar Park Christian (6-6) followed by a pivotal contest against the Northwest 2B/1B League's second place squad, La Conner (10-1). They will host Concrete (2-9) in the regular-season finale, Friday, Feb. 10; tip off is 4 p.m.

Wolverines back on track Friday Harbor bounced back from

back-to-back losses in league play to deal Auburn Adventist a decisive 48-33 defeat in a non-league contest, Saturday, at home.

Clinging to a 3-point advan-tage after three periods of play, the Wolverines (8-3 league, 12-6 over-all) caught fire on the offensive end down the stretch and outscored the Falcons 16-4 in the final eight min-utes of regulation, sealing the victory in a game marked by sizeable swings in momentum.

Trailing by 11 at the half, the

Falcons (8-8) outscored Friday Harbor 20-10 in the third quarter to draw within three points of the home team.

Madi Kincaid tossed in a game-high 13 points, Alie Galt had 12 and Hayden Mayer contributed eight.

The Wolverines tumbled into third place in the Northwest 2B/1B League standings following losses at home to Orcas, Jan. 27, and at Mount Vernon Christian Jan. 30. They travel to La Conner Friday, and host Concrete Feb. 10 in their regu-lar-season finale.; tip off is 5:30 p.m.

REDUCE • REUSE • RECYCLE

You know, that stuff we put on hot dogs? Traditional store bought kraut is usually pasteurized, which kills most of the probiotics. For no more than the cost of a head of cabbage and about 15 minutes of labor, homemade sauerkraut is cheaper and healthier than traditional brands.

What you’ll need:•One medium sized head of cabbage•One and a half tablespoons of a non-

additive sea salt •One quart sized wide-mouth jar

• One small jelly jar

1. Chop cabbage into thin slices and transport into a large mixing bowl or pot.

2. Sprinkle salt onto cabbage.3. Work the cabbage by squeezing it

until the juices start to come out. While tough at first, after about 10 minutes the cabbage will go limp and float in its juices.

For an efficient method of pounding out the cabbage’s put the bowl or pot on the floor, kneel down and punch the cabbage down.

4. Transport cabbage and its juic-es into the jar. Push the cabbage down below the juice. Make sure the cabbage is submerged and not in contact with air.Weigh the cabbage down below the juice with a smaller canning jar filled with water.

5. Cover with coffee filter or paper towel and rubber band. Allow it to ferment at room temperature between 65-70 degrees. Your kraut is “done” when it tastes good to you. It can ferment for up to a few months.

• Note: Bubbles, foam or white scum at the top are signs of fermentation. Scum can be skimmed off the top.

Discard if moldy. If kraut turns brown that means its been exposed to too much air and should be discarded.

While intimidating at first, making ‘booch is really easy and inexpensive. Kombucha is often called “mushroom tea,” as the culture used during fermentation looks like a mushroom. It’s slightly sour, effervescent and can be flavored with different kinds of fruits after bottling.

Kombucha needs a SCOBY for fermen-tation. SCOBY stands for “symbiotic cul-ture of bacteria and yeast.” You can order your SCOBY as part of a kombucha kit, you can get one from a kombucha making friend, or you can make your own, (look up how to make a kombucha SCOBY online

or in a fermented foods book at the library).What you’ll need:•One quart sized jar•Three and a half cups water•Two bags green or black tea•One fourth cup white sugar•SCOBY •Half cup Starter tea or distilled white vinegar1. Heat water2. Dissolve sugar3. Steep tea4. Cool tea to room temperature.

Once cooled add tea to jar with scoby. 5. Add starter tea or vinegar. Starter

tea is kombucha from a previous batch, or from a store bought bottle.

Make sure you use raw, unflavored kombu-cha for your starter tea. As time goes on and you make continuous batches, save a cup of kombucha from each batch for the next one.

6. Cover with paper towel or cof-fee filter. Allow to ferment 7-10 days. Ferment longer for a more sour taste

f only beer and wine come to mind when you think of fermentations, think again.

Fermented foods like sauerkraut and kombucha contain live bacteria. When consumed they can help restore and maintain balance in the gut, and result in an improved overall health. These types of good bacteria are known as probiotics, and are similar to the live cultures found in yogurt and kefir on the grocery store shelves.

The root of the word probiotic comes from the Greek word pro, mean-ing “promoting” and biotic, meaning “life.”

According to Friday Harbor Holistic Health’s Nicholas Corrin, probiot-ics are especially helpful to people who have been taking antibiotics and thus need to repopulate the gut with good bacteria.

But these pro-life organisms are good for everyone. They promote a healthy immune system, help keep the lining of the colon strong but flexible, and help with the absorption of vitamins and overall digestion.

“Health starts in the colon,” Corrin said. “The best thing anyone can do is make their own fermented foods.”

Making your own fermented foods is cheaper than buying it. Organic

sauerkraut runs close to nine dollars a jar, and bottles of kombucha are three dollars each. While startup costs may be a little expensive, the sup-plies will last for many batches.

The following recipes use one quart for size. You can double the recipe and so on for larger batches. Make sure everything is kept clean and ster-ile, especially your hands and jars.

—Editor’s Note: Journal Reporter Emily Greenberg offers the recipes above as a culinary adventure and continues to experiment in her own kitchen. She has no authority as a healthcare professional. Caution should always be taken when working with live cultures.

Annual battle of knowledge returns

San Juan Community Theatre Artistic Director Susan Williams announced she will resign May 1, 2015.

Williams cited personal reasons for her departure, saying she wishes to focus her energies more on family, art, acting and directing.

Williams took the position in 2012 after being involved as a volunteer at the Theatre since its beginnings in 1989.

Her list of accomplishments is long.“The revitalization of our theatre is,

for me, a source of great personal pride” she said. “My hope is that the ground work has been laid for an exciting future.”

A search for her replacement is in progress.
