Unlike their counterparts on Orcas and San Juan, Brian McClerren and Jamie Stephens have already advanced to the gen-eral election. It’s a “special” elec-tion, on April 23, in which all voters in the county will select between the list of candidates vying to become the elected rep-resentative from each of the three new county legislative districts, and a seat on the newly reconsti-tuted 3-person county council as well.

The field of three candidates vying for the District 1 (San Juan) and District 2 (Orcas) council

positions will each be winnowed down to two following the “spe-cial” primary election, Feb. 12.

In the meantime, Islands Weekly editor Cali Bagby offers a glance at competitors in the Lopez Island council race, with a profile of each and a following Q & A.

Jamie StephensStephens has served on the exist-

ing council for two years. He said during his time on the council he has fought to keep farmland avail-able for farmers and has helped to open up their opportunities to mar-ket their products. He added that

he has helped to bring resolution to the solid waste system and worked to make com-munity control of the dumps and reuse facilities a reality.

Stephens has endorsed high-speed internet connectivity to be made available to the county. He also advocated for permanent protection of the Bureau of Land Management lands in San Juan County and has traveled to Washington D.C. to fur-ther the effort.

“There has been a lot of change in county government during the past two years and I am an expe-rienced voice to move the county forward while implementing the changes in the way the county is governed,” said Stephens.

Prior to becoming a coun-cil member, Stephens was active in the community; includ-ing serving as board member of the Family Resource Center, Fisherman Bay Water Association, as Port Commissioner, member of the Lopez Village planning Committee, and board member of the Lopez Community Land Trust.

He has also substituted at Lopez School and has organized the yearly Fourth of July Parade.

Before Frank Mulcahy came to San Juan Island to be director of Public Works, he man-aged and planned military and civilian public works facilities as a U.S. Navy commander in Kosovo and Iraq.

He had been to Friday Harbor several times while stationed at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station — his wife grew up in Mount Vernon — and he didn’t hesitate to apply when he heard the director’s job was open.

“I knew there would be problems,” Mulcahy said recently, reflecting on his first 15 months as manager of the largest department of county government, “but so far none of them have involved live ammunition or explosions.”

“The work and people aren’t that much dif-ferent from the Navy,” Mulcahy says. “I learned early on to respect the people I worked for and the people that worked for me, and I think that has served me well since I arrived here.”

He started at Public Works in mid-October, 2011. Public Works is the county’s largest department, with 65 full-time employees and an annual budget of about $13 million. In addition to maintaining county owned roads,

An Orcas Island woman who went missing following an early morning collision on Crow Valley Road the day before Thanksgiving is believed to have died of exposure, according to local officials.

San Juan County Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord, who, in the role of county prosecutor, doubles as county corner as well, said results of an autopsy confirm that Maria Massey did not suffer fatal injuries as a result of the crash that preceded her disappearance.

The 26-year-old, whose body was found by a search party the following day in a wooded area, near a pump house, about a half-mile from crash scene, collided into a tree in the 2600 block of Crow Valley Road in the early morning hours of Nov. 21.

“There is every indication that she died of exposure,” Gaylord said, adding that additional information may

be revealed in results of a pending toxicology report.

Gaylord noted temperatures plummeted to about 35 degrees and that there was a steady amount of wind and rain on the day that Massey went missing. The cause of the crash remains unresolved, he noted.

“We have no explanation to why she went off the road,” he said.

Known for having a beautiful singing voice, Massey was active in Orcas Island’s theater and dramatic arts community. Her Facebook page

was flooded by an outpouring of loving messages, such as “We will always remember you Maria!” and “I’ll miss you and your headstrong smile”, in the wake of her disappearance and untimely death. She was honored by family and friends in a celebration of life, Dec. 22, at Emmanuel Episcopal Church.

An Orcas Island man was sentenced to nine years in prison in the wake of a vehicular rampage and high-speed collision in February that left another man paralyzed from the waist down.

On June 29, Gary Shawn Mobley, 43, pleaded guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to three counts of vehicular assault and to reckless driving. He was ordered to serve a total of nine years in prison and to pay $189,315 in fines and fees.

He is also expected to pay more than $190,000 in court-ordered restitution to two men injured in a mid-February collision.

According to prosecu-tors, Mobley intentionally

ran his car into an Orcas Island man on the night of Nov. 19. Prosecutors also stated that in a separate incident, Mobley ran his car into another vehicle in the early morning hours of Feb. 15, near the intersection of Crow Valley and Orcas roads. The driver of the other vehicle was paralyzed as a result of the crash.

The crash was the cul-mination of several events involving Mobley, the two men who were in the car that he struck, and two women with whom Mobley reportedly had been roman-tically involved with as well.

According to court docu-ments, Mobley and the two men, both of whom are from off-island, “smoked drugs” on the night of Feb. 14 and he then accused each of them throughout

the night of having separate affairs with two women that he was dating. When one of the women got into a car with the two men, Mobley then pursued them in his vehicle and slammed into their car several times.

At the intersection of Crow Valley and Orcas Roads, he again ran into their vehicle, causing it to roll onto its side. Mobley reportedly had been travel-ing at speeds of 50-80 miles per hour during the pursuit. One of the two men fled the scene, the other was trapped inside the car.

Extricating the driver from the wreckage required an extensive effort by Orcas Fire and Rescue person-nel. He was then airlifted to Harborview Medical Center, where doctors determined that the man’s spine had been fractured and displaced, and that his spinal cord had been dam-aged. Paralyzed from the waist down, he is presumed in need of medical atten-tion for the remainder of his life.

The man who fled the scene suffered fractured ribs and a foot injury, while the woman in the car suffered back and neck injuries, as a result of the crash.

According to prosecutors, Mobley, who surrendered five days after the crash, admitted to consuming methamphetamine prior to the incident and that he was consumed by rage when he committed the offenses.

He had previously been convicted of three counts of battery and of possession of drugs and paraphernalia.

Island’s ‘Dog Whisperer’ at work at Loving Hands: the name says it allBy Steve WehrlyJournal Reporter

Melody Rice has loved grooming animals since the day that she first gave a dog a haircut. She was nine years old.

Rice says that neither that pet nor the hundreds of dogs and cats and rabbits that she’s owned or groomed have ever complained.

She’s relaxed, even humorous, about taking care of dogs, cats, and many other types of pets at the “The Paw Spa and Resort/Loving Hands Grooming”. On the wall is a sign that says, “Cat’s Have Staff, Dogs Have Masters”.

Either role suits Rice just fine. She has four rescue dogs (Ruby, a Dachshund mix,

Sunshine, a Pomeranian, Monkey, a Chihuahua mix, and Zeus, a Pomeranian/Papillion puppy) and Mercedes, the cat. Several of her own pets and several “guests” were there on a recent afternoon, cruising for affection and responding readily when she turned her attention to them. She shows a genuine gift with animals, and the animals clearly adore her in return.

On a recent afternoon at the spa, there were five dogs and one cat cruising for affection in the front room of Suite B at 385 Carter Ave., the small house that serves as the “spa” for pets. Rice and her husband, Classic Cab owner Dana Rice, live on Cady Mountain, but stay over (“too often,” Rice says)when guest dogs are overnighting. Day care and overnights are possible. So are pick-ups and delivery by Classic Cab, with Dana driving and Zeus riding shotgun.

Loving Hands Grooming provides the full beauty treat-ment for all of her furry clients, both dogs and cats, and even rabbits. Fur is the focus – shampooing, dematting, and cutting four or five dogs every day. She also offers other spa and grooming services, even for cats — teeth and ear clean-ing, flea protection, pedicures, and even Jin Shin relaxation massages from Pam Fry. Training is available from nearby friends, as is veterinary service.

Melody, who owned a salon and photography studio in Vacaville, Calif., moved to Friday Harbor in 1999, and started the Paw Spa as her business in Friday Harbor many years ago and is celebrating her third year at this location.

To contact Rice at Loving Hands Grooming, 378-3460.

New year, new recycling fee; $3 per can starts Jan. 1

A $3 per-can recycling fee will take effect beginningJan. 1.

It will replace the current $5 drop-off fee for up to three cans. Truckloads of recycling will now be charged $95 per ton, up from a flat $25 per truck charge.

The new dropoff fees will apply only to the San Juan Island and Orcas Island transfer stations. Fees for recy-cling at the locally operated Lopez Island dump will not be affected; the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District will begin operations Jan. 1.

State-certified hauler San Juan

Sanitation will have to pay the high-er rate, but because the company increased its curbside pickup fee for recycling in September, its fee is not expected to rise.

The increase was triggered by a Dec. 31 expiration of the county’s 10-year contract for recycling trans-portation and processing with Waste Management.

The per-ton cost, which had remained essentially flat over the life of the contract, will double start-ing Jan. 1 and a new $1,108 fee will be added for each trip that Waste Management’s big recycling trailers make to the mainland.

The result is that hauling and pro-cessing costs paid by the county will

jump from the current $36 per ton to $143 per ton of recycling. While approving the increase in recycling fees by a 4-to-2 vote (council mem-bers Patty Miller and Lovel Pratt voted “no”), the San Juan County Council voted to hold garbage fees at the cur-rent level and eliminated fees charged for the annual household hazardous waste collection events.

The county solid waste facilities on Orcas and San Juan Islands are sched-uled to be turned over for operation by private contractors this spring.

A complete copy of the new fee ordinance is available on the county Web-site at http://sanjuanco.com/publicworks/solid_waste/solid_waste_docs/SW_Fees.pdf

San Juan Preservation Trust over a series of years, begin-ning in the late 1980s.

Born Sept. 10, 1922, Gann was member of the U.S. women’s ski team and com-peted in the 1948 Winter Olympics, in St. Moritz. She was inducted into the U.S.

Ski Team Hall of Fame in 2001.

On San Juan, Gann, an accomplished pilot, was known for her love of fly-ing, as a practical environ-mentalist, a spirited con-versationalist and as a tire-less advocate for animals. She was a long-time board member of the Animal Protection Society.

She was Grand Marshal

of Friday Harbor’s 2008 Fourth of July Parade.

Near the end, Gann chose to be at home after battling unsuccessively against pro-

gressive infection for many month, according to sourc-es close to the family. A celebration of life is planned for Saturday, Jan. 19.

es through the Family Resource Center. He has two children, one in col-lege and another employed in Washington, D.C. He lives with his wife Lauren Stephens in Lopez Village.

Brian McClerrenMcClerren moved to

Lopez Island in 2004. He was hired over the telephone by a local building contractor.

“The labor shortage was so acute that I remem-ber trying to convince my friends back in Oregon to move up and work con-struction,” he said.

McClerren and his family

joined with others in forming Common Ground, the Lopez Community Land Trust’s fourth affordable housing project. McClerren served as co-op treasurer during the construction process. At the same time he and former partner Andrea Huss start-ed Media Cocktail in Lopez Village. McClerren used his time as a business owner to return to school and studied economics, accounting and business law.

He recently hired the first employee for his new business, Reveal Window Cleaning, while also work-ing full time at Sunset Builder’s Supply. McClerren is married to Leslie Franklin, and they are expecting a new baby in June to add to their family of four includ-ing Kayla, 9, and Levi, 7.

The candidate said he has been interested in civil ser-vice ever since his involve-ment in the LCLT. “I saw firsthand how government policies and priorities affect individuals. When the regu-lations are not in your favor, the cost of building goes up really fast. I realized the county is just as capable of being a hindrance to prog-ress as it is to being a facilita-tor.” McClerren has pledged to restore monthly town hall meetings and make himself available to those who can’t find the time to attend.

Weekly: Why are you

running for this position?JS: In the words of former

Commissioner Howard, “One has to be more careful with an island.” I came to these islands because of the beauty but I stayed because of the commu-nity. I have seen a lot of prog-ress in the last two years and will continue to work hard to see it continue. I believe in strong and healthy communi-ties by providing opportuni-ties for jobs through a vibrant and diversified economy; strong and connected neigh-borhoods; the protection and stewardship of the natural environment; and creating quality education and learn-ing opportunities for all ages.

BM: Many people stop

and ask me that, but it’s usu-ally phrased more like, “Why on earth would you want to do that job?” I’m running because I believe that I can make a difference. I think that a very large part of our population can relate to me in my love of the San Juan Islands and determination to own a home here and make a good living. But I have a great interest in public policy, economic planning, and the budgeting which bores most people to tears. I’ve made it through quite a few pots of coffee studying the Critical Areas Ordinance.

Baker ski bus; new era unfoldsWinter sports enthusiasts on San Juan and Orcas have

joined forces to revive and reinvent each island’s participa-tion in the Mount Baker Ski Resort shuttle bus program in 2013. The six-week program, Saturdays, begins Jan. 12.

This year, unlike in the past, the program, spon-sored by Mount Baker, is run by Orcas Island Park and Recreation District, not by the school districts, and features a chartered bus, boarded in Anacortes. Bus rid-ers will walk on respective ferries, rather than board a local bus, and the chartered bus, provided by Triangle Charters, will be waiting; scheduled departure from Anacortes is 9:15 a.m. Rides are available to all ages, from any island. Half-day lift tickets are provided; arrival is expected at 11:30 a.m., about an hour earlier than the resort’s normal half-day starting time.

Cost for the six-ride program (ride only) is $180; sin-gle roundtrip is $50. Scheduled Saturdays: Jan. 12, Jan. 19, Jan. 26, Feb. 2, Feb. 9, March 2. With 35 registered, roughly 10 seats remain available for each trip, first-come, first-served. Post ski-trip stops may include Bellis Fair Mall or bowling in Anacortes (costs not included). Sign up at orcasparkandrec.org., or visit www.mtbaker.us, or San Juan Island Fitness, Island Body, Lopez Village, or the Orcas Island Park and Recreation District office, for information; or call coordinators Marcia West (376-7275), or John Pachuta (378-0886).

NPS to share ‘Year in Review’ & 2013 preview

Contributed photo /Courtesy NPSThe English Camp Blockhouse sits on risers to allow for repair, reinforcement and restoration of the Pig War-era building.

Curious about the highlights at San Juan Island National Historical Park in 2012, or what’s in store for the year ahead? Well, here’s your chance.

National Parks Service staff and volun-teers will shine a spotlight on operations and accomplishments of 2012 and preview plans for the year ahead at a reception and briefing at the San Juan Island Historical Museum, Tuesday, Jan. 8. The event will take place in the musuem’s Etta Egeland Resource Center, 405 Price Street, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

The preview of “big ticket items” for 2013 include continued work on an environmen-tal impact statement for prairie restora-tion, finalization of design specifications for the 2014 renovation of the historic Crook house, and continued coordination with San Juan County and the Federal Highways Administration on the realignment and design of Cattle Point Road.

“We are very upbeat about last year’s accomplishments,” Parks Superintendent Lee Taylor said. “As we look at the docket

for 2013 we’re beginning to realize it could be one of the key years in the history of the park. We want the community to be involved from the outset, and this reception is a way to make that happen.”

In addition to its “big ticket” plans, the park will also conduct its usual assort-ment of spring and summer programs, such as Bloom Week (a wildflower fes-tival at American Camp); a Civil War Sesquicentennial celebration, which includes a July 3 performance of the “Life and Times of General George Pickett”, in partnership with San Juan Community Theatre; and the annual Encampment and Weaving weekends at English Camp.

Among the accomplishments of 2012, are the renovation by park staff and contractors of the entire lower story of blockhouse at English Camp, establishment of a connector trail linking the English Camp and Mitchell Hill trail systems, continued restoration of the American Camp prairie, and the establishment of an environmental educa-tion program, starting with Friday Harbor Elementary School’s fourth graders and the Spring Street International School.

The park also welcomed Taylor to the fold, the park’s eighth superintendent since its creation by Congress in 1966.

For information, contact SJINHP staff at 378-2240, extension 2227 or 2228.

This year’s achievements, upcoming plans featured at reception, briefing, Jan. 8

public works operates stormwater and solid waste utilities, coordinates engi-neering for public projects, maintains county owned buildings and property, and buys and maintains the county’s fleet of cars, trucks, heavy equipment and boats.

“Since I came here I’ve had to challenge assump-tions and adjust to changing conditions,” Mulcahy said. One way Mulcahy adjusted was to communicate, both within Public Works and with the County Council and the public. “I even write and send out communica-tions myself, and people say they appreciate hearing directly from me,” he said.

Emphasizing commu-nications and respect have resulted in what Councilman Rich Peterson calls “rave reviews and no complaints” from the council.

“He’s corrected historic problems at Public Works and restored public con-fidence,” Peterson says. Councilwoman Lovel Pratt liked the way “he’s stepped up to and dealt with the challenges he faced”, and Councilman Howie Rosenfeld praised Mulcahy as “a man of integrity.”

Mulcahy said he manages operations with four result-oriented ideas in mind: pro-ductivity, quality, morale and safety.

“Productivity is not just working harder,” he says,

“it’s working smarter, think-ing of the future so you don’t have to re-do some-thing you’ve already com-pleted. Quality means doing the project better, thinking of what you’re doing as an investment.”

Morale and safety are workplace necessities.

“You won’t get the pro-ductivity you want or the quality you expect if the people doing the work don’t

feel good about their jobs or their boss, or are worried about their safety on the job,” Mulcahy says.

Mulcahy thinks the 2012 big issue - solid waste col-lection and disposal, includ-ing transfer station opera-tions - is “going well.”

“I came here in October knowing there had been problems,” he said.

Letter writer clueless in Seattle

Park. Park. Who is this Park?

She didn’t say, although in her letter printed in the Journal on Dec. 5, “Useful info about writers revealed”, pg. 6, she hammered two other letter writers for not listing their bona fides.

But thanks to the dili-gence of the editor we find she is a Seattle boating enthusiast who has visited these parts for the past 40 years.

She said that The Friends of the San Juans “. . . seem to have drifted to extreme environmentalism . . .”. Well, this is a place to be extreme-ly environmental about, and it shows, at least so far.

Could that be the reason she so often fled Seattle for the delights of our ports-of-call? It has taken 40 years and she still hasn’t made the connection. Some people are simply clueless.

County council better with Byers

We islanders sometimes boast that having no bridges makes these real islands. We kind of like that.

But there’s one case where bridges are good. It’s the collaborative kind we need between nonprof-

its and businesses, and between islanders of diver-gent interests.

Working as director of OPAL Community Land Trust, or on such commit-tees as her recent role on the solid waste committee, Lisa Byers has a proven record of using her skills and experi-ence to achieve healthy dis-cussion and outcome.

If you don’t know much about her yet, please look into what she would bring to the County Council in the District 2 position. She has my vote. We need her on the council.

Big boost in parks by volunteers

Did you know that vol-unteers have been providing ongoing care for our county day parks since 2009?

That year, our day parks were slated to be closed. Then, community volun-teers came to the rescue and they continue to provide needed support today.

All year long, our vol-unteer teams pick-up litter, empty the garbage and recy-cling, monitor the parks, mow the grass, and trim

the bushes. These wonder-ful volunteers do all of this so that we all can enjoy our local parks.

Volunteers also work in our campgrounds and take on special projects in our parks, like giving interpre-tive talks, chopping fire-wood, removing noxious weeds, building and main-taining trails.

Over 1,100 volunteer hours were recorded in 2012 – the equivalent of one half-time employee.

The San Juan County Parks, Recreation and Fair Department, Parks Commission, and Park staff would all like to express our gratitude for the time our volunteers have spent to keep our county parks maintained and open to the public during 2012.

Special thanks go to our volunteer day-park team leaders on San Juan Island; Louise Dustrude (Turn Point), David Dehlendorff (Reuben Tarte), Sandy Rabinowitz (Eagle Cove), and on Lopez Island we would like to give special thanks to Carl Jones — father of the famed ‘Flower House’ outhouse at Agate Beach and volunteer team leader for all five of our Lopez Island day parks.

Thank you to our numerous park volunteers: Joanruth Baumann, Eric & Audra Adelberger, Ron & Marcia Ashbrook, Don & Ann Jarrell, Angela Atwell, Clark Casebolt, Vicky Griebling, Marin Karraker, Linda Noreen, Sorrel North;

Teresa Danielsen, Barbara Fulton, Charles Janeway, Paul & Susan Kollet, Mike & Sue Buettell, Kent Gale & Luanne Pasik, Tal & Lee Sturdivant, Casey Hons, Pat Christenson and John Simon, Sandy Rabinowitz,

Louise Dustrude, David Dehlendorf, Dani & Bryan Hoyer, Jacob Hansen;

Andy Urbach and the Community Service crew, members of the Eastsound Village Green Stewardship crew on Orcas Island and Nick Teague and the American Hiking Society on Lopez and Shaw Islands for their valuable contributions.

Also, Garfield High School students, numerous Boy Scout troops and other groups who did projects in our parks during their stay.

Another reason to say ‘No’ to coal

We have many problems demanding our attention, but ocean acidification is

one which could forever change our islands.

Since the dawn of the industrial age, ever-increas-ing amounts of carbon dioxide have been released into the atmosphere, not only warming the planet but increasing ocean CO2 content by 30 percent.

For years scientists have been reporting that CO2 absorption is causing sea-water to be more acidic; this change is already destroying coral reefs and threatens the entire marine food chain.

According to the Journal Nature Geoscience, ptero-pods, small snail-like sea creatures important to many fish including pink salmon, are experiencing thinning and dissolution of their shells resulting in increasing mortality. This is occurring at current pH lev-els, which is a level initially not expected to be reached until 2038.

Any marine organism dependent on calcium car-bonate for a shell or body parts is now at risk from

acidification. Fish eggs and a host of organisms at the very base of the ocean’s food web are likewise threat-ened.

In past epochs, mass extinctions occurred when the oceans became similarly acidic. However, because the chemical changes occurred over many centu-ries, the ancestors of today’s sea creatures were able to adapt. The present rapid chemical changes may not allow marine organisms to develop survival strategies.

If we value the present oceanic biodiversity and food species, it would seem illogical to promote the use of a fuel associated with physical and economic dam-ages linked to atmospheric and oceanic changes.

We have until Jan. 21 to express our concerns about the transportation and burning of coal over-seas. Lowering our plan-etary CO2 and other green house gas emissions could help save the biology, cul-

Byers for council; proven leadership

When we first discovered the San Juan Islands, we — like many others — were primarily attracted to their natural beauty.

But after living here for over 12 years, what keeps us so attached to this beautiful place has more to do with the dynamic sense of com-munity that thrives here. This is why we are support-

ing Lisa Byers for San Juan County Council.

Under Lisa’s leadership, OPAL Community Land Trust has epitomized an approach that says, “not only can we do it, but we can do it better.”

As executive director of OPAL, Lisa has repeatedly demonstrated the success of a reasoned and multi-dimensional approach to accomplish goals that are in the best interest of the entire community.

As a member of the county council, we believe that Lisa will listen to all voices and attempt to make judgments that will not only benefit the majority of today’s county residents, but preserve what is best about this place for the future.

Editorial

Elections Ho!Make a New Year’s resolution to get

involved with, or at least pay attention to, the coming elections for the San

Juan County Council.Because the elections will implement the

recently passed Proposition 1, taking the county from a six-person council elected from six dis-tricts to a three-person council elected county-wide, from three “residency districts”, every county voter will vote for all three new council members.

A three-member council means that two coun-cil members will control the county’s budget and policies, a result made even more important because Proposition 2, backed by the Charter Review Commission, also passed. You will want to know how each candidate views his or her responsibility to the island he or she lives on and to the other two islands as well.

Proposition 2 cancels the “separation of pow-ers” concept and eliminates the position of county administrator in favor of a yet-to-be-defined county manager, who will report to the new three-member council. The new council will have sole authority over both the executive and legislative power in the county. (While the coun-ty’s independently elected officials hold sway over their respective departments, the council holds the purse strings).

San Juan County last had three elected legisla-tors in 2005, under the commission system fore-saken by the freeholders, who drafted the origi-nal self-rule county charter. At that time, county coffers were relatively well-stocked, public and private employment was high, construction was booming and home sales were strong.

Times change.The primary election is Feb 12. Three candi-

dates from San Juan and three from Orcas will seek nominations to join the two Lopez candi-dates in the April 23 general election.

Because the elections are in February and April, turnout may be significantly reduced. That smaller group of voters may or may not share your views of what’s right for your island and the county as a whole.

The Journal intends to pay close attention to the council elections.

How about you?

PUBLIC MEETINGS

By Bill Evans

My heart is broken as I reflect upon the tragic school shooting events of Dec. 14 at Sandy Hook Elementary.

That such innocent lives could so brutally be ripped from the tight fabric of that community and school, is unimagi-nable. In my career I have taught elementary and was an elementary principal.

I feel a heightened sense of grief as I remember the close relationships I shared with the young children and staff in the schools in which I served. To imagine such a horrific event happening in any of those schools, literally drops me to my knees.

It was likely every administrator’s first reaction, to want to build an impenetrable wall around our schools to seal our children and staff from all real or imagined threats to their safety. Any of us would do anything to protect our students and staff.

We will all be looking carefully at our school security pro-cedures and renewing our commitment to lock-down drills and the like. As we should, we will take a much needed look at everything from emergency communications to door locks, and everything in between, to best insure student and staff safety.

However, if there is anything we can learn from the horror of that December day at Sandy Hook Elementary, it is that even the best security systems will not guarantee protection from danger. Building thicker walls and higher fences, or arming the gatekeepers, will not fully address the real issues and dangers that pervade our society and threaten the innocent.

It is in the embrace of strangers that we will find our greatest protection and deterrent to danger. Strangers are the disenfranchised among us — those who are intention-ally or unintentionally disenfranchised from the embrace of others, be it community, school, family, social services, or politics.

The stranger may look and be very much like us, and actually be daily among us, but anyone estranged by real or imagined differences imposed by self or others, may be a stranger to us.

In address of Sandy Hook Elementary and other tragedies, I

challenge us to find ways to embrace the stranger within our communities, and our schools. Let us reach out to the bully, the mentally ill, the poor, the victims, the abusers.

A look at recent tragic shootings at schools and communities, by and large reveals the transgressors to be strangers in their communities, estranged by illness, anger, frustra-tion, bullying, loneliness, or other manifestations of exclusion.

At what point did our schools or other communities fail to embrace

these strangers within and fail to wrap our figurative or literal arms around the strangers among us? At what point did we fail to reach out to the disenfran-chised with an offer of help, solace, or invitation?

What more can we do to build communities and schools of hope and compassion, to take in the strangers among us? Let us be as pro-active in our efforts to build caring com-munities as we are re-active in building walls and arming the gatekeepers.

I believe it starts at school. I urge our schools to become even better at developing

compassionate environments and instruction that nurtures the skills, and the will, in each of our students to recognize and embrace the strangers within. Let us renew our com-mitment to do what we do best — teach... for compassion and tolerance.

Let us spend as much time teaching social skills and community-building as we do other basic skills. Let our high-stakes assessments also assess caring, kindness, and community-building skills to better inform our instruction. Let us add tolerance and inclusivity to our common core curriculums.

Let us create a generation that will model for the rest of us, a true democracy of caring.

In the embrace of strangers, and a conversion to mem-bership in caring community, lies our long-term salvation from desperate acts of horror. Such an embrace will be infinitely more powerful and protective than the strongest gates, highest walls, or most heavily armed gatekeepers.

So, while we are reviewing our security measures, let us also review our curriculums and programs that promote care and compassion. Won’t you join me?

Wolverines waltz over winless Pioneers; 63-51

The Friday Harbor boys basketball team notched its fifth win of the year and second of the season against a regional 1A rival with a 63-51 victory at home, Dec. 22, over winless Nooksack Valley.

The Wolverines, led by Otis Cooper-West, 14 points, and senior Collin Williamson, 13, on the offensive end, jumped out

to an early a d v a n -t a g e , outscor-ing the Pioneers ( 0 - 9 ) 12-4 in the open-ing peri-od and taking a

33-14 lead into the locker room at the half. Junior point-guard C.J. Woods contributed 11 points to the team total.

With the win, Friday

Harbor improved to 5-3 overall on the eve of its trip to the Yakima, Dec. 28 and Dec. 29, where the Wolverines will face a pair of teams from larger schools, La Salle and Steilacoom, in back-to-back games at the Sundome Shootout.

The Wolverines will open Northwest 1A/2B League play at home, Jan. 3, against Mount Vernon Christian (4-5); tip off is 4 p.m. They face Darrington (1-9) on the road, Saturday and square off against regional 1A rival Meridian, Jan. 8, at Meridian; tip off is 1:30 p.m.

Girls fall prey to Pioneers; 51-30

The Friday Harbor girls basketball team matched the Pioneers stride-for-stride over the first eight

minutes of play.But a 2-point disadvan-

tage at the end of the first quarter quickly turned into a double-digit deficit as a talented Nooksack Valley squad, boasting a 7-1 record, caught fire in the second period to grab a 26-12 lead at the half. The Pioneers, led by Melissa Stadt’s 16 points, coasted after the break to pocket a 51-30 victory.

Senior Jean Melborne tossed in 13 points to lead the Wolverines (2-7) and Emily Guard added six.

The Wolverines face Northwest 1A/2B League foe Mount Vernon Christian (7-3) at home, Jan. 3; tip off is 5:30 p.m. They travel to Darrington to face the league-leading Loggers (9-1), Saturday, beginning at noon, and are on the road Jan. 8 to face Meridian; tip off is 5:30 p.m.

Gislason awarded state Samsung scholarship

Friday Harbor’s Lita Gislason is the recipient of a Washington state Samsung Scholarship award, an educational endowment created in 1996 by the global electronics company and administered by the American Legion.

As recipient of a 2012 Samsung state scholarship, Gislason, a Friday Harbor High School senior, will receive $1,100 for undergraduate expenses at the college of her choice and earns entry into com-petition for a Samsung national scholar-ship of up to $25,000. She has applied to several colleges but has not yet decided

which to attend. She intends to pursue a degree in elementary education, with a minor in anthropol-ogy.

The Samsung American Legion Scholarship endow-ment was established in appreciation for U.S. military veterans who served in the Korean War, 1950-1953. It is available to high school juniors who participate in and complete a Boys State or Girls State program and are direct descendants (or legally adopted children) of wartime veterans eligible for

American Legion member-ship. Gislason’s grandfather, Derry Gislason, served in the Korean War as a U.S. Air Force pilot. He died in 2010.

“In my father’s family, he was the advisor, negotiator, logic and voice of wisdom,” Gislason said of her grand-father. “He was the stron-gest man I knew.”

Gislason participated in a Girls State program in the summer of 2012. Girls State is a nationwide

government training and citizenship pro-gram sponsored by the American Legion

Auxiliary. The honor of being a Girls State rep-

resentative is bestowed each year on a high school junior who has demonstrated good citizenship and leadership qualities and will make the commitment to return to school as a senior and use what was learned during Girls State for the good of the school and the community. The program allows teens an opportunity to spend a week as self-governing citizens and informs them about the duties, privileges, rights, and responsibilities of American citizenship.

— Editor’s note: Information for the article above was provided by Minnie Knych of Friday Harbor American Legion Auxillary.

Melborne named ‘Good Citizen of the Year’

Friday Harbor High School senior Jean Melborne, a descendent of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, is the 2012 recipient of the local Daughters of the American Revolution’s “Good Citizen of the Year” award.

In prelude to receiving the award, Melborne was selected by the faculty of Friday Harbor High School as a “Good Citizen” because of her leadership and influence as a positive role model for her peers and for younger students as well. She credits an obligation to set an exam-ple for others for striving to demonstrate qualities of dependability, community service and patriotism.

Her ambition is to attend college under an Reserve Officer Training pro-gram (ROTC) and to join the Navy after school.

The DAR “Good Citizens” program and scholarship contest encourages and rewards qualities of good citizenship. The program is open to all high school seniors. The student selected as the school’s DAR Good Citizen must have

the qualities of depend-ability (truthfulness, loyalty, and punctual-ity); service (cooperation, courtesy, and consideration of others); leadership (personality, self-control, and ability to assume responsibility); and patriotism (unselfish interest in family, school, community and nation) to an outstand-ing degree.

A three-sport athlete, Melborne maintains a 3.23 GPA and volunteers as a Little League Softball umpire and a youth recreational basketball referee in her spare time, and works at the Port of Friday Harbor in summer.

A direct descendent of Robert Treat Paine of Massachusetts, Melborne has much in common with DAR members. Paine was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.

Take a tour of Spring Street campus

You may have noticed that Spring Street International School is growing.

The new large building in back, which will be ready for occupancy in February, is a new dormitory for 18 boarding stu-dents and two dorm parents, plus dining facilities, common areas, and a commer-cial-grade kitchen. On the Spring Street side of campus is a new building housing two new classrooms, already in use.

Next summer, Spring Street will start a building to house an art studio, music practice rooms, and another classroom.

Since 1995, the school has grown to 85 students in grades 5 through 12, with 16 boarding students, and day students from San Juan, Orcas, Lopez, and Shaw islands.

Interested to see the new dormitory? Or check out the new classrooms? Want to talk with local kids, or meet students from China?

The school will welcome the commu-nity for “behind the scenes” tours, one each month, beginning in January. Head of School Louis O’Prussack will lead each tour. The first tour is Jan. 17, 5 p.m. Space is limited, RSVP to (360) 378-6393, or e-mail [email protected], or stop by.
