In a special meeting July 15, San Juan County Housing Bank Commission continued work on a 2016 plan to answer a question posed to them by the San Juan County Council: are an increase in vacation rentals having an impact on affordable housing avail-ability countywide?

Originally brought up in a May 12 meeting, the council requested the commission look into county statistics to gather a working plan addressing the critical needs of affordable long-term rentals, afford-able home ownership opportunities and affordable seasonal worker housing, according to an HBC memorandum.

Nancy DeVaux, Chairwoman of HBC and execu-tive director of San Juan Community Home Trust, says that the problem of housing availability has been around for years, and that little has been done by the county because of a lack of funds. An affordable housing levy failed to pass by voters in 2006, but did create the HBC. The commission was supposed to oversee where the funds went, but there weren’t any to give out.

“Yes it’s having an impact,” DeVaux says about the vacation rentals. “But we can’t quantify or specifically

pinpoint what it is, and instead we’re recommending an update of the needs assessment. There’s all these anecdotes and people saying there’s a crisis, but how many people are really looking for housing, are they looking for rentals, and are they looking for home ownership?”

It’s easy to find anecdotes from renters or landlords of desperate situations. Seasonal renters agreeing to sign a lease without seeing the room, long-term

Housing issues wear on

A new take on climate

Weather weighs on OPALCO rate hikeBy Meredith M. GriffithWeekly contributor

The Orcas Power and Light Cooperative members are see-ing continued rate increases as OPALCO continues to collect less revenue due to lower kilawatt-hour sales.

This February OPALCO enact-ed a $10.30 facility charge on all member accounts. For July, the co-op board approved an addi-tional “revenue recovery add-on” through 2015 to meet a project-ed revenue shortfall of $661,000. The increase will raise the average member’s bill by $8.43 per month.

“Despite these rate increases,” says OPALCO public relations administrator Suzanne Olson, “member bills have been lower on average than the past couple of years. This is because we’re not using as much energy – our revenues are down and so are our bills.”

One key contributor, says Olson, is that recent erratic weather – and the resulting energy demand vola-tility – pays no heed to the fixed operating costs of energy utilities.

It’s not just that demand for electricity drops in warm weather, erratic weather makes it difficult for energy companies to accu-rately forecast both the amount of electricity needed from suppliers, and the yearly revenue that will be provided by kilowatt-hour (kWh) electricity sales.

“Everybody in the nation has been caught short this year because it’s an unusual trend we haven’t seen,” explained Olson.

OPALCO President Jim Lett said that many member utilities of the Northwest Public Power Association are struggling with revenue shortfall, due mostly to warmer weather but also because of increased conservation mea-sures and solar generation.

In 2014, OPALCO’s cost of pur-chased power from Bonneville

A workshop called Connecting to Climate hosted by the National Park Service Aug. 4-5 will go a step further than a typical cli-mate change seminar, according to coordinator Raena Parsons.

“The focus of the workshop isn’t on climate change science, but more of the behavioral side of how people create beliefs of climate change and the psychology of it,” Parsons said.

According to a report by the American Psychological Association Task Force, structural and psychological barriers affect how individuals take action on climate change. Some people react by feeling guilty and unable to make a difference, while others may engage in small token actions that don’t result in a sustainable solution.

The workshop is aimed at edu-

Rescue on Salish Sea

Contributed photo / Gil DobbeThe U.S. Coast Guard rescued four people from a boat stuck on the rocks on Monday afternoon near False Bay. Read the full story of the rescue on page 5.

The Sheriff ’s Office responded to these calls.

July 9• An unknown person

removed fuel from a parked vehicle in Friday Harbor.

• A deputy was dispatched to Roche Harbor Resort on an unwanted person. The call became a mental health

issue and the person was taken to Peace Health.

• A Lopez deputy responded to a reported dog bite. It was discovered the dog did not actually bite the victim, but was considered at large.

• A man was observed shoplifting in Kings Market.

• A Friday Harbor employer went to an ex-employee’s residence to give him his final pay stub. The employee was very aggres-sive and threatening and

the employer wanted to make a written report.

• A deputy saw a vehicle parked and unoccupied across the sidewalk in the 100 block of North Beach. The owner returned and was issued an infraction for illegal parking.

July 10• A woman reported

her iPhone 6 was removed from the nurses cart at the Life Care Center in Friday Harbor.

• A business in Eastsound was broken into and items taken. Video identified the suspect, and deputies are looking for that person.

• Marine Patrol deputies investigated a possible hit-and-run collision between

two vessels in Fossil Bay, Sucia Island, and recovered the damaged Zodiac inflat-able tender from the beach. Both vessel operators were contacted and the matter resolved without enforce-ment action.

• Two large poodles were reported to be run-ning in the Walling Road neighborhood in Friday Harbor. The dogs live in Seattle with their own-ers, who were contacted by phone. The dogs were picked up at a residence in the area – tired but glad to see their owners.

• Marine patrol depu-ties assisted the U.S. Coast Guard with a 20-foot Bayliner found adrift off Sandy Point, Waldron Island. The vessel had dragged anchor in storm during the night causing it

to float away unoccupied.• A deputy responded

to Whiskey Hill Road on Lopez Island regarding a dog-at-large complaint. The reporting person stated an unaccompanied dog came on to her property and scared her and her dogs. The deputy located the owner, who apologized and stated he would keep his dog on a leash in the future.

• A Lopez deputy was dispatched for two dogs at large. Warning letters were issued to the owners.

• A deputy received a report of an attempted sui-cide in the jail. The inmate was intercepted before the act could be carried out.

• A deputy responded to Kurth Road to look for a wanted subject. He was placed under arrest based on probable cause in a bur-glary and theft case from the previous night.

• Lopez deputies were dispatched to a possible domestic call. There was no probable cause for a crime, and the parties were sepa-rated for the night.

July 11• An Eastsound man

turned in several guns from his deceased father’s resi-dence.

• A deputy received a report of two dogs at large

on Boundary Point Road in Friday Harbor. The dogs were returned to the owner with a warning letter.

July 12• A deputy was dis-

patched to the parking lot of a Friday Harbor business in reference to a domestic dispute. The reporting dep-uty arrived and contacted the victim. The suspect had fled the scene on foot. An investigation continues.

July 13• A Lopez Island man

reported that a distraught woman in her 20s was hid-ing in the woods along his driveway. The woman dis-appeared before a deputy arrived. The woman was not found.

July 14• A deputy responded

to a reported trespassing in the area of North Beach Road in Eastsound. The suspect had left the prop-erty.

• A deputy spoke with a Lopez Island resident regarding a harassment complaint, which resulted from a parenting plan dis-pute. He determined no crime was committed. The reporting person requested the other parent be told to not return to their property. The other involved parent agreed to not return.

Wreckage believed to be of a Minnesota plane were found in Whatcom County last Wednesday. Search crews will need to reach the site to make official confirmation. The private plane’s two occupants were on vacation in the area from Minnesota and they did not arrive Saturday. To see a photo, visit www.sanjuanjo-urnal.com and search “Plane wreckage found.”

Wreckage of plane found


The San Juan County Council issued a statement that Manager Mike Thomas was not in the wrong in ref-erence to a wetlands evalua-tion on a San Juan property.

The council’s June 25 memo states Thomas was within his jurisdiction when he identified a contentious part of Portland Fair Estates Owners Association to not be a regulated wetland.

The report is in response to an Improper Government Action “whis-tleblower” report original-ly filed Jan. 21 by County Code Enforcement offi-cer Christopher Laws that alleged a conflict of inter-est had occurred regarding a wetland determination in September of 2014.

The initial IGA report filed by Laws stated that the property owners had com-plained to their neighbor, Councilman Bob Jarman, who then asked Thomas to inspect the property. The IGA report alleges that Thomas and his wife Jennifer [a state certified wetland expert] did so as a favor, determined that it was not a wetland, and claimed “ethical impropri-ety” on Thomas’ part.

The memo from the council refuted those claims, stating that Thomas’ wife (who is not a county employee) was in the vicin-ity, but was not there to assist in a wetlands recon-naissance and that Thomas acted within his authority, stating “He has often inter-vened … to resolve a citizen issue, at times in conflict with the personal or profes-sional opinions of his staff; with the goal of stream-lining a process, resolving long term issues, reflecting the wishes of the council, or with the larger goal of improving the perception of county government within the community.”

According to the memo, Thomas “saved the county an unnecessary expense by his review.”

Prosecuting Attorney Randall Gaylord handled the IGA report submitted by Laws, and issued a mem-orandum on March 11.

He stated that had Thomas done a proper wet-land reconnaissance then he should have filed an official report.

“The question presented is whether the determina-tion by Mr. Thomas that there was ‘no wetlands’ and directing issuance of the

Hughes building permit without a wetland recon-naissance report was con-trary” to county code, the memo states.

The county memo responded by stating that an email from Director Sam Gibboney to Planner Annie Matsumoto-Grah sufficed as a report. The email read:

“Annie – There is a permit application in for a property in the Portland Fair neigh-borhood. Supposedly one of the neighbors reported that there might be a wetland. Mike walked the site last night with a local wetland expert [JT] and there are no signs of one. So no need for recon.”

The county memo reads, “Although we would prefer a more descriptive email be the department’s standards, Ms. Gibboney did provide a record for the file of her determination, based on the county manager’s recon-naissance.”

The memo also added that Gibboney was incor-rect when she referred to JT, Jennifer Thomas, as the source of the information on the wetland, though she is a state certified wet-

lands specialist. The PA memo concluded that after Department of Ecology wet-lands expert Doug Gresham reviewed the wetlands in question, no further action was needed, but that “in the future, a written recon-naissance report should be received before a building permit is issued.”

The county memo con-cluded that “the county did its reconnaissance for pos-sible wetlands issues prop-erly,” and that “the county has now spent significant resources…to determine that there was no improper government action on the part of County Manager Thomas.”

No further action will be taken by the prosecut-ing attorney’s office or the county council.

Wetland permit issue resolutionBy Anna V. Smith

Journal reporter An Orcas Island man is charged with burglary in the

second degree after allegedly stealing $150-200 dollars and merchandise from Orcas Island Golf Course.

Valentine Matthew Ecklund, 50, has an arraignment date of July 24. Bail has been set at $20,000.

According to court documents, Ecklund was recorded by the golf courses’ surveillance video and identified by the responding officer.

The morning of July 10, an employee of the golf course opened the store and found the cash register and tip jar empty. He called the owner, who then reviewed the footage from the night before and called an officer.

According to the officer’s report: “He found at approxi-mately 0205 hours a white male appeared outside the front door, and took some items from the lost and found.”

Ecklund then opened a door by shaking it and popping it open. Ecklund was filmed taking the money, as well as sandwiches and bags of chips.

“I was able to positively identify the suspect as Valentine Ecklund,” the officer wrote. “Ecklund stopped and stared at one of the cameras for some time, moving his head back and forth, making identification very easy.”

Ecklund remained in the store for approximately a half an hour.

Orcas burglary

Power Administration increased by $546,056 it went from $7,584,245 to $8,130,301. That included a $200,000 demand charge lev-ied by BPA in February due to much higher than con-tracted electricity use spurred by cold temperatures.

Then came unusually warm fall weather that dra-matically reduced OPALCO’s expected revenue from kWh energy sales. OPALCO sold approximately 9 million fewer kWh than expected in 2014, resulting in $1,392,794 less kWh revenue than in 2013. NASA and The Natural Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration declared 2014 the warmest year on record since 1880.

“Bonneville Power has 40 people who come up with weather projections,” said Olson. “Normally we calcu-

late our budget of how many kilowatt-hours we’re going to sell based on their predic-tions, and we generally come out pretty close to what BPA is predicting for the region.”

In 2014, those projec-tions didn’t even come close for OPALCO and for other utilities in the region, result-ing in large cost increases. OPALCO had budgeted in a 2014 margin of $1,121,998, but at year’s end that cushion was reduced to just $121,951. The 2015 budget aims to replenish that margin to $1,098,363.

So for its 2015 revenue projections, OPALCO based projections off of what Olson calls a “worst-case scenario,” or what happened in 2014. The problem, she says, is that actual revenue for 2015 has been even lower. In the first quarter, the co-op reports heating degree days (HDD) were 42 percent below nor-mal, and kWh sales were down 6 percent, resulting in

revenue of $551,276 below budgeted.

Normally a cost of ser-vice study every two years has kept OPALCO’s rates on track to collect the revenues required, but the weath-er lately has been far from normal. Seattle-based EES Consulting has been advising OPALCO on adaptive rate strategies.

A large part of the solution is a transition from directly use-dependent kWh charges toward fixed-rate facilities charges. In 2014, just 25 per-cent of OPALCO’s operating costs were covered by fixed facilities charges; the other 75 percent of the costs was dependent on islanders using an anticipated amount of energy.

Over the next seven years, OPALCO is forecasting a gradual shift in the rate struc-ture so that up to 75 per-cent of the facilities costs will be covered by fixed facilities charges, leaving less of the

cost burden on kWh revenue. Olson said costs are forecast to increase by 6 percent yearly during 2016-2019. Per cur-rent forecasting, the current budget forecasts meeting this increase through facilities charges, while charges for res-idential energy usage will stay at about $0.08 per Wh (rang-ing from $0.0852 ‐ $0.078) for the next five years.

“A forecast is just a tool to help us project our future needs,” said General Manager Foster Hildreth. “The board will revisit the rate structure during our budget process this fall. We are listening to our members, and recent board discussions point to a likely shift in how we adjust our facilities charge going for-ward.”

For the 2015 revenue recovery add-on, added Olson, “If we get cold tem-peratures coming in, we can put a halt to the add-on. That is a mechanism to be sure we don’t get caught short.”

As for the purchase of Rock Island Communications and its impact on the budget, OPALCO borrowed $2.9 mil-lion at the end of 2014 for its start-up capital. The monthly loan payments will be cov-ered by charging each of OPALCO’s 11,198 members $3 per month over 24 months (yielding roughly $806,256), in combination with revenue coming in from established network accounts.

“In 2016, OPALCO plans to borrow another $3.1 mil-lion for start-up capital,” said Olson. “By that time, Rock Island will have a more robust revenue stream and, despite compounding loan pay-ments for 2015 and 2016, the amount of $3 per month per member will meet the need. Beginning in 2017 Rock Island Communications is projected to have enough rev-enue to cover their expenses.”

Olson added that debt ser-vice on the purchase price of Rock Island, just under $500,000, will be covered by the cash flow that came with acquisition of the company. A November 2013 OPALCO board directive had already set the co-op’s course toward sharing its high-speed fiber optic infrastructure more broadly for Internet services. When Rock Island became available for purchase the board saw it as a way to speed the process, as well as to greatly reduce its startup costs of hiring staff and developing infrastructure.

“It created a quicker path to profitability, which mini-mizes our risk as a co-op,” said Olson.

Part of OPALCO’s cost is $4.5 million set aside for up

to 3,000 “construction incen-tives” of $1,500 per home to offset homeowners’ estimat-ed fiber installation costs of $1,500 to $6,000 per home.

OPALCO expects Rock Island to reach the “break even” point in 2017 at somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 connections, and at that point to take over funding its own expansion to meet further demand. OPALCO expects to begin receiving positive cash flow from Rock Island around the year 2021. Currently six neighborhoods are under construction; 226 loca-tions are connected, and 80 neighborhoods are in the design process.

An August 2014 OPALCO survey revealed a populace ready for better Internet ser-vice. The majority of respon-dents received internet ser-vice through CenturyLink (over 60 percent) or Rock Island (18.7 percent). Despite its large market share, just 22 percent of CenturyLink customers said they were sat-isfied, compared with 64 per-cent for Rock Island. Major factors were speed, reliability and customer service.

Another major part of OPALCO’s overall financial picture is the need to replace 18 costly submarine cables over the next 30 years, and three of those in the next seven years. The most press-ing is a 14,000-foot cable between Lopez and San Juan originally installed in 1977 for $3 million. OPALCO will replace it in 2017 at a cost of over $15 million. Hildreth expects revenue from Rock Island and a USDA loan to help offset those expenses.

Much More!

Karl Kuetzing has been a resident of Friday Harbor for 10 years and became an EMT in 2012.

A transplant from the Midwest, Karl has been a Washingtonian for the last 25 years living on both the west and east sides of the state.

He obtained his Bachelor of Arts from Cornell College in Environmental Studies, but has been a biol-ogy geek for as long as he can remember.

Karl is a nationally regis-tered EMT, a licensed pro-

fessional Land Surveyor and a certified marine naturalist. He also volunteers with the San Juan County Marine Mammal Stranding Network. He is currently the president of the EMT Association.

“I am thankful to be part of such an amazing com-munity and appreciate the opportunity to be involved with such outstanding indi-viduals”, stated Karl.

This is the second time this year that Karl has been voted EMT of the Month and the agency appreciates

his dedication to quality care, willingness to help and great good humor.

July EMT: Karl KuetzingFernando is a self-employed tile setter

and stone mason. Presently he is classified as FireFighter I and will soon be going for FireFighter II, the next step up the ladder of command. He drove his first big truck at the age of 7 when visiting his grandfather’s wheat farm in Oregon.

Fernando is assigned to Station 36 in the Eagle Crest neighborhood but will answer calls from the station he is closest to at the time and, since we have the new engines, which are all alike, it makes this much simpler to do. His area of expertise is with Engine 361 which he drove in the Fourth of July parade. He spent several hours of his own time washing and polishing 361 so it would glisten in the parade. His 7 year old daughter, Virginia, rode with him – when she grows up, she wants to be a firefighter just like her dad.

Fernando had a hand in rewriting the firefighting training manuals, along with several other volunteers, and is proud of helping keep this fire department up to date. Being afraid of heights and having chlostrophobia are NOT prerequisites for firefighting, but when a friend talked him into taking the training, Fernando wanted to do it so much that he decided it was just mind over matter and conquered his fears. He wishes he had known earlier on in life (he’s 40) that volunteer firefighting was available, he would have jumped in years ago! He says that being a firefighter is not

easy but well worth it. He cited a call for me that dealt with

another, not as well known part, of the job. All firefighters are trained in CPR. One day a call was sent out as an “all agency response. CPR in progress.” In this case, because it is very difficult for one person to continue CPR for very long, responders rotate every few minutes in rescusitating a patient. Fernando was one of those doing the rotating. He said that no one gave up and after a while the patient was flown off the island where she recovered. How great is that?! What a feeling of satisfaction! Fernando is very proud of his station, his engine and of being a volunteer firefighter.

Fire & Rescue welcomes all interested men and women, ages 16 years and above to drop by the Mullis Street Station and make an appointment to see what we are all about. For info, visit www.sjifire.org, the San Juan Island Fire & Rescue Facebook page or call 360-378-5534.

Gil Dobbe watched as a boat ran aground near his home on Monday, July 20 at around 2 p.m. The boat was stuck on the rocks in the Fish Creek area between False Bay and Eagle Cove.

Dobbe said that anoth-er “unmarked” boat came upon the scene and tried to throw a rescue line to the stranded vessel. Someone on board tried to catch the line with a large net but was unsuccessful. Eventually a U.S. Coast Guard helicop-ter arrived on the scene and were able to extract two people. According to the Sheriff ’s Office they

were brought to safety in a nearby field. Dobbe said the boat went out of sight soon after the aircraft left.

“Something must have happened to the boat,” said Dobbe. “It might have sunk.”

The U.S. Coast Guard returned and Dobbe report-ed that two more people were lifted from behind the rocks. A total of four people were removed from the vessels. No injuries were reported.

Concern over candidates

This is an interesting arti-cle. I am very curious why two of these candidates, Miller and Loftus, appear to be so dismissive of the State’s Reproductive Privacy Act, and seem, each in their own way, to imply that the district’s obligation to com-ply with Washington State Law is optional. Why would two candidates for the posi-tion of ensuring compliance with the law on the part of the public hospital dis-trict be so blatant in their expressed disregard of the law? These don’t seem to me like good long-term choices for the position. I’m also wondering why Mr. Miller is running for this posi-tion if he is also “staunchly against assisted suicide”, a dog-whistle term if ever there was one. 75 percent of island voters who support end of life planning direc-tives and WA State’s Death with Dignity Act must sure-ly be puzzling over why such a person would want to run for this position and insert his personal feelings about this issue into thwarting the will of the people. Doesn’t seem like a smart campaign move to me. I think these two people should with-draw and let other people

who are ready to deal with these serious issue in a real-istic manner come forward.

Clarification on Wellman Zuck

(Editor’s note: An earlier version of the Spring Street Landing article mentioned a concern amongst the com-missioners. The concern was from one commissioner.)

In the Journal article regarding the new “Spring Street Building,” Greg Hertel is quoted: “There were some concerns amongst the com-missioners about choosing

Wellman Zuck (as the con-tractor) because of delays on their construction…such as the IMA museum.” I sympathize with Greg for making that comment since I’m sure he was unaware that in the very early stages of the effort the time pro-jections were extremely tentative since there was there was so much we didn’t know about the old EMS building. There were a lot of unpleasant surprises that were not at all appar-ent initially, but neverthe-less starting with the EMS building was still a sound move. Once we got into the gut of the project however, and a lot of “unknowns” became “knows”, things went quite smoothly and a critical completion date was basically met. The cost esti-mates incidentally came in exactly on budget.

I feel compelled to clarify the situation, since we look back on the relationship with Wellman Zuck as hav-ing been outstanding, and we feel they did a great job on building our museum. I suspect they will do the town proud on their efforts on the new building.

Editorial

500 wordsThe Oxford English Dictionary announced in June

about 500 words have been added to its dictionary.The article about the added words made me all

warm and fuzzy inside, as if I had just opened a gift of eight-track cassettes of C-Span’s Book TV - the greatest hits. I suspect 500 words is larger than my entire working vocabulary, unless growls, gasps and weird sounds count. (I think they do.)

Here are a few of Oxford’s additions that caught my wandering attention.

• Carnap - stealing a car, (not what I do while driv-ing). It was first used as a verb in 1937 in the Helena Independent.

• Gointer - It is a verb and one of my new favorites. Oxford said it is a colloquial expression for going to. Example: I am gointer regurgitate your so called food. Is this a great word or what? You say going to, I say gointer.

• Koozie - It’s a noun for a sleeve to keep drinks cold (or more likely concealed). Sounds to me like the name of a hit parade 80s rock band – Koozie and Krumb Topping.

• Stanky - a noun. It is the smell of a teenage boys locker room on a 90 degree day.

For me there are few things more entertaining than looking up the meaning of words I will never remem-ber or be able to spell.

As I scanned the list it occurred to me there are a number of words I know that for some reason are not in the Oxford dictionary. (I checked.)

I have considered sending them a list of useful ver-bals and nounettes to add next time.

Here are a few.• Whack-noodle – verb, adjective, noun, gerund,

pronoun, interjection, conjunction. Often heard dur-ing off-the-record phone conversations during politi-cal season.

• Wieneeworst - adjective and intransitive verb. How my brain functions in the morning.

• Fricasseed barf - noun, adjective, gerund. A Christmas food and how the Democrats and Republicans in Olympia described each other after the 2015 operating budget vote.

I bet this is how Samuel Johnson got started writ-ing his Dictionary of the English Language.

Maybe I have stumbled upon a new calling, like a loud moo from across the field, followed by a light from above, or below, then a voice whispers in my ear: Write it and they will think you’re nuts.

PUBLIC MEETINGS

renters paying two months rent out to secure a place, and so on.

On San Juan Island, there are four non-profits that work on making affordable housing available to residents, but none that assist low income residents with rentals. While Orcas Island has OPAL Community Land Trust that recently took on another rental project, San Juan Island non profits have focused on home ownership, accord-ing to DeVaux.

OPAL’s model sets some pricing at mar-ket rate values, while others are targeted for very low income people, 50 percent below the median income level, and those in poverty, at 30 percent below the median income level. According to the HBC memo, affordable housing affects residents with an area median income of up to 120 percent and beyond.

“The need is deep and broad,” said Lisa Byers, executive director at OPAL. “There’s really a bigger need than we can fill.”

OPAL is looking into developing more affordable rentals on Orcas Island, which Byers says will take a few more years.

“There are always people waiting, and we only really have vacancies as long as it takes

to clean and do any maintenance,” she said. According to a first quarter Housing

Market Snapshot of the State of Washington, San Juan County ranks the highest on Median Resale Price, at $508,300, and the lowest on Housing Affordability Index (HAI) at 72.8.

“The Housing Affordability Index mea-sures how much of the house a median income person can buy,” DeVaux explained. “Ideally it’s 100 percent, that the median income person can buy the median resale home. We’re the only one below 100 in the whole state. So a family of four that earns median income can only afford 72 percent of the house. So this is kind of a snapshot of the crisis.” Under the category of First-Time HAI, or lower income buyers, that number is at 37.4, again the lowest in the state, behind King County by 30 points.

Funding for the nonprofits working in San Juan County to answer the housing need come from private and public money sources, but for funding for the County is currently absent. An affordable housing levy that would have added a .5 percent excise tax on top of the 1 percent excise tax to the Land Bank was voted down in 2006.

On July 6, the state legislature passed House Bill 2263, which allows counties to vote to add a one tenth of a 1 percent sales tax to address the need of “facilities and

services in the community to help people with mental illness, individuals with devel-opmental disabilities, and other vulner-able populations, including foster children, homeless families, veterans, and others in critical need” as well as “provide public and educational benefits and economic support for cultural organizations,” according to the bill. According to DeVaux, they calculated

the potential of the tax and found it would come out to be roughly $400,000 a year.

“It’s nothing to sneeze at, but it’s not enough either,” she said. “There’s no money to do anything with. That’s sort of the key.”

This is the first article of two parts looking at the housing crisis in San Juan County. The second article will look at how it is affecting employees and employers locally.

cators who can urge people into action, instead of shut-ting out the negative feel-ings that discussions of cli-mate change can bring.

“We’re really looking at how do you communicate with people about climate change to get positive action and behavior changes,” Parsons said. The workshop is for educators in the com-munity, who will pass on what they learn to their stu-dents and peers.

Before the workshop begins, participants will

be given reading material focusing on the scientific basis of climate change. Parsons said the workshop will follow a Four Tier Program Arch, the first day looking at science and cul-tural content and how cli-mate change will affect the islands through wildfires, sea level rise and ocean acidification.

The second part is a shared interpretive experi-ence out in kayaks in the water using a method of dis-cussion called World Cafe.

“I’ve never done it on the water before, so it’ll be interesting to see how we do that,” Parsons said. “We’ll

be talking about the psy-chology of climate change, formation of climate beliefs, how to debunk myths with-out backfire and so on.”

The morning of the sec-ond day will be facilitated dialogue, and the last half will focus on community climate change solutions to imple-ment in the community.

Sharon Massey, a mid-dle school science teacher, is taking the workshop to incorporate into her school curriculum at Spring Street International School.

“We look at environmen-tal problems and problem solving, we get to know our island intimately so we have

a relationship to place and an ethic of land stewardship, we become naturalists so we understand the workings of the natural world,” Massey said. She currently takes her students out into the field on the island, working with the local organizations to address issues of water qual-ity, habitat restoration and enhancement, and more.

“I work with people, and knowing both the psy-chology of people’s denial, resistance, apathy to what is a pressing issue for us at this time on this planet can help me educate and understand,” Massey said. “The psychology of cli-

mate change can also mean breaking down and looking at components of the issue for a deeper understand-ing.”

The workshop will take place in Wescott Bay for the classroom discussions when the group is not on the water. The workshop is free for participants, fund-ed by a $6,000 grant from Science Learning Network, and a $2,000 grant from National Park Service Fire Communication and Education Grant. There is still space for the two day workshop, contact Raena Parsons at [email protected].

Regarding illegal vacation rentals, I agree the county should enforce existing regulations. However the

vast majority of legitimate vacation rentals on this island are not places that are likely to rent long term to “the county’s middle working class”.

Recent rumors/talk about a moratorium on vacation rental permits as a way to solve that shortage is misguided at best. When a waterfront house can be rented for $2,000-2,500/week (or more, depending) it does not make economic sense for that owner to rent long term for $1,200-1,500/month instead. So the potential economic value of that property as any kind of rental is just going to disappear. And the potential tax revenue along with it.

The shortage of affordable housing is real and needs to be dealt with, but eliminating the possibility for new vacation rentals is

not the answer. Many people who come here looking to buy a place are interested in the possibility of vacation rental as a way to make their purchase more affordable. That’s how I could afford my house back in 2000 and I had it as a vacation rental for five years before moving here full time.

Workers are not the only folks facing a shortage. The lodging options for visitors are also extremely limited. And because of the law of supply and demand, lodging is becoming more and more expensive. I think we can agree that a significant growth in new hotel rooms is not an option.

The San Juan Island Bed and Breakfast Association is down to seven members, it was around two dozen when I moved here full time in late 2004. Vacation rentals play a large part in filling the lodging demand. But vacation rental properties are not a constant. There is turnover. What was once a vacation rental can, and does, change. Places sell, or owners move here full time

and stop renting, as I did. There are many reasons a vacation rental stops being avail-able. If the possibility of a new supply is closed, with time the number of available properties will diminish, ironically as lodg-ing demand is increasing.

At a certain point we won’t have to worry about where the waiters live. The restau-rants will be out of business because there isn’t enough lodging to accommodate their patrons. Much of the rental demand here is seasonal, just as the visitors are. When we talk about increasing the long term rental supply, most of those seasonal workers can’t sign a year lease anyway. They’re not going to be here that long. Restricting vacation rentals is going to have no effect on that situation.

As I creep towards retirement, I have been looking at the possibility of occa-sionally putting my house on Westcott Bay back into the vacation rental market as a way to augment an eventual fixed income

and maybe a way to afford to travel while it’s rented. And I don’t think I’m the only property owner with that thought.

Affordable rental housing is absolutely an important issue. Seasonal rental housing is too, but a different one. We should work towards solutions for both.

But putting a moratorium on vacation rental permits is not going to solve either of these issues, and it is going to unfairly punish property owners who have a right to responsibly and legally use their property for their own benefit, and the benefit of the local economy. Complex problems rarely have simple solutions. Let’s not cut off our nose to spite our face.

In closing let me say I am a pretty liberal Democrat, so none of these opinions are coming from some nutty “property rights” position.

Come to The Whale Museum on Friday, July 24, at 6:30 p.m. for an author talk and book sign-ing with Susan Middleton,

author of the newly released book “Spineless: Portraits of Marine Invertebrates, the Backbone of Life.” In her new book and exhibi-

tion at the San Juan Islands Museum of Art, photog-rapher Middleton offers a glimpse into the mysteri-ous and beguiling world of marine invertebrates. A unique blend of art and science, this special pre-sentation will reveal the spectacular diversity and astonishing beauty of this less celebrated realm of life upon which all other life depends. Middleton intro-

duces animals that most of us never knew existed. They are marine invertebrates, creatures lacking a back-bone that comprise over 98 percent of marine animals. Those spineless creatures that live in the marine envi-ronment of the San Juan Islands will be emphasized. A book signing will follow the presentation.

Middleton is a photog-rapher, author, lecturer,

and Guggenheim fellow. Blending art and science; has worked extensively with National Geographic and currently serves as Research Associate at the California Academy of Sciences. Her work is represented in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Art and the National Academy of Sciences.

Talk and book signing with Susan Middleton

Life Care Center of the San Juan Islands, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Friday Harbor, is welcoming a new executive director, Janice Fisher.

“Janice brings a great deal of experience and a pas-sion for clinical excellence to our team,” said Raymond Thompson, vice president of parent company Life Care Centers of America’s Northwest Division.

Before joining Life Care Center of the San Juan Islands, Fisher worked for Centura Health in Colorado for 37 years. With that com-pany, she served in multiple roles, starting as a registered

nurse and then taking on nursing leadership before earning her nursing home administrator’s license and later doing regional health care oversight. She did a brief stint in acute care before returning to the long-

term care environment.“I realized how the indus-

try needed good nurses, and I think I was called then to work in long-term care,” said Fisher. “That became my passion – to advocate for patients, and for seniors in particular.”

Fisher earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology and psychology and an associ-ate’s degree in nursing. She is also board certified in gerontology.

Born in Missouri, Fisher has lived most of her life in Colorado. She is currently relocating to Friday Harbor with her husband, Conrad, and looking forward to being closer to their daugh-ter, Christy, who lives in the Seattle area.

“I love it here. We have a good team at Life Care, and this is a beautiful setting,” said Fisher.

ISLAND SCENE

Calendar

Re-enactors from throughout the Pacific Northwest and Canada will once again cel-

ebrate peace as they gather for the 17th Annual Encampment scheduled Saturday and Sunday, July 25-26 on the English Camp parade ground.

The weekend includes recreations of mid-19th century Royal Marine Light Infantry and U.S. Army camp life, demon-strations of music, blacksmithing, spinning and weaving, sewing, cooperage and car-pentry, along with the pageantry of period uniforms in scarlet and blue. Black powder rifled musket demonstrations and the fir-ing of howitzer also are planned both days.

Mike Vouri, chief of interpretation and historian for San Juan Island National Historical Park, explained that the encamp-ment aims to capture the celebratory spirit of the 19th century camps, when American and British camp would march together and celebrate holidays, including Christmas, the Fourth of July and Queen Victoria’s birthday. Typically the men would partici-pate in athletic contests, imbibe in spirits and other refreshments and usually host a dance to which the community was invited. Vouri says that’s the spirit that the annual Encampment captures.

“It recreates that comradeship, that peacefulness,” Vouri said. “And it’s really a good opportunity to learn about 19th century life from these really knowledge-able people.”

This particular Encampment will be spe-cial for Vouri because it will be his last time at Encampment as an employee of the National Park Service, as he retires from NPS in September. Saturday, July 25, activities will include a ceremony honoring longtime park volunteer Jim Meredith, who passed away last December. Meredith could be found most summer weekends at English

Camp, proudly wearing his red-and-blue woolen British uniform and explaining what it would have been like to be a Royal Marine on San Juan Island during the joint military occupation, 1860-1872. He was honored in 2013 as “Volunteer of the Century” by the park, and in 1998 was made an honorary Royal Marine by Royal Marine headquarters in England.

Saturday will conclude with the Candlelight Ball, scheduled at 7:30 p.m., in the English Camp barracks. The public is invited to join in the dancing and refresh-ments that will include the traditional cake and punch. Music for contra dancing will be provided by the Pig War Band.

“When you see the candlelight, hear the period music and see the dancers dressed in period clothing, combined it’s a pretty sight,” Vouri said.

Since its inception in 1998, Encampment commemorates the peaceful joint occupation of San Juan Island by British and American forces from 1859 to 1872, and final settle-ment of the Northwest Boundary dispute.

The Encampment tradition was renewed in 1998 on the occasion of the dedication of English Camp’s 80-foot flagpole, a gift to the park by the people of the United Kingdom. The event, jointly planned by the park and Michael Upton, the British Consul General in Seattle, drew nearly 600 people to the parade ground, including distinguished guests and officials from both nations. The 2009 Pig War Sesquicentennial Encampment drew more than 5,000 visitors over the two-day period.

For more information about or par-ticipating in Encampment 2015, call Doug Halsey at 378-2240, extension 2228 or e-mail him at [email protected]; or Mike Vouri, 360-378-2240, ext. 2227 or email [email protected] per-sons should call the park at 378-2240, ext. 2226, or 378-4409 for access info.

– Anna V. Smith contributed to this story.

Contributed photos Clockwise from top: Chris Day and Dennis Lawler provided fife and drum music. The Candlelight Ball features dancers in period dress, but everyone is welcome. Everyone par-ticipates in the folding of the Union flag.


Join San Juan Island artist Nancy Spaulding to learn how she utilizes photog-raphy and sketching on site during a artist work-shop scheduled for 2 p.m., Saturday, July 18 meeting in the American Camp park-ing area.

Call the park at 360-378-2240, ext. 2226, or ext. 2227 for accessibility infor-mation. The workshop is for all levels of experience. Bring paper, pen, pencil, or pastels, a digital camera, sturdy shoes and a sun-hat (if necessary). A sec-ond workshop designed to revisit work from the first–though all are welcome–is scheduled same time and place on August 8. Pre-registration is encouraged.

Email Mike Vouri at [email protected] to reserve your spot.

A formal art education was the plan but Nancy left the University of Arizona shortly before earning her degree in order to join the domestic peace corps. She served as a VISTA Volunteer for two years. Following that experience she kept up with her hands on approach to art and has managed to continue working as an art-ists over the years and into the present time..

Nancy and her husband Lewis, a social worker turned artist, spent 25 years as serigraphers, each devel-oping their own distinctive style. Their hand pulled silk screen prints were accept-ed into many well-known juried art shows and fairs throughout western United States. They were able to

support themselves and their family on the art cir-cuit. In 1987 Nancy and Lewis moved to San Juan Island where they built their home and studio. The island suits them as a place where they can live close to the land.

“An island with edges but yet broad sweeping vistas provides a meditative envi-ronment,” Nancy said.

Business owners are invited to perform their own live commercials this year at the fair, during the commercial breaks for our fabulous game show, “FAIR FEUD!!” modeled after the famous TV program. It will be an exciting fair, including the opportunity to watch Ace Hardware and Islanders Bank battle it out on the main stage. Bob Jarman will be the master of ceremonies. For only $50, a business can act out a 30-second LIVE commercial during the breaks between rounds. 100 lucky fairgoers will be able to participate in the survey that provides the answers of the exciting questions used during the show. FAIR FEUD will hap-pen on the main stage, on Friday night, August 14 from 6-7 p.m. For info, call Kira Sable at 317-5021, or the fair office at 378-4310.

“The best medical service I’ve ever experienced in my life”

The Emergency Department at PeaceHealth Peace Island is staffed every day of the week, around the clock with board-certifi ed emergency medicine physicians who provide a high level of care not often found in small, rural hospitals.

When Chrystal Rozander arrived at PeaceHealth Peace Island Medical Center after being sick for seven days, the caregivers there went into immediate action. Diagnosed with meningitis, Chrystal required immediate hospitalization.

Special treatment she received at PeaceHealth Peace Island allowed her to stay near family and avoid being air lifted to a mainland hospital. “I received the best medical service I’ve ever experienced,” said Chrystal.

ANSWERS TO PUZZLES

Join renowned Washington State storyteller Karen Haas for an hour of first-person history and fun about the Pig War scheduled 7 p.m., Friday July 24 in the historic Royal Marines Barracks.

This Encampment week-end program is free. Call the park at 378-2240, ext. 2227, or ext. 2226 for special access information.

Tensions were running so high in 1859 that the shoot-ing of a pig nearly hurled the United States and Great Britain into war for the third time in less than 100 years. Fortunately, cooler heads pre-vailed and, instead of pitched battles, there was a peace-ful joint military occupation where a spirit of mutual coop-eration reigned supreme.

Haas has delved into the rich treasure trove of folk lore from the nationalities involved in this “war that wasn’t”. She’s created a pro-gram designed to make you laugh, enjoy a ghostly chill or two, and celebrate the peace that still exists today between our nations.

Benches will be arranged around the barracks fireplace,

the lanterns lit and rows of re-enactors tents will be vis-ible through the windows. Encampment 2015 will kick off the following morning at 9 a.m., with the Candlelight Ball following at 7:30 p.m.

An experienced teacher, museum curator of educa-tion, storyteller and histo-rian, Haas was the recipi-ent of the Association of King County Historical Organization’s 2005 Heritage

Education Award. She is active in re-enactments at Pacific Northwest historic sites such as Fort Nisqually, and San Juan Island National Historic Park. Her living his-tory presentations have been featured at Fort Clatsop and Whitman Mission National Historic Site. She feels espe-cially rewarded telling the tales of those whose voices are usually silent in history – the women.
