Fall Sports PreviewLet the games begin; inside

you’ll find stories, schedules, team photos, and more of Friday

Harbor fall sports.

By Scott RasmussenJournal editor

Local authorities hope that den-tal records will help lead to the identity of a decomposed body discovered in a secluded area of Moran State Park.

San Juan County Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord, who, in his capacity as the county’s elected prosecutor, doubles as county cor-oner, said that the human remains, discovered Saturday, Sept. 6, in a collapsed tent near the bridge over Cascade Lagoon by a man who happened to be fishing in the area, are clearly that of a man.

A wallet found in the tent con-tained a Texas driver’s license of a person from the city of Plano, but the degree of decomposition was too “extensive,” Gaylord said, to match the driver’s license with the remains.

“We’re hoping that within a week we will be able to test the dental records with those of the person whose wallet was found in the tent,” he said. “The driver’s license provides us with a lead but we’re not able to confirm it’s the same person.”

Gaylord said the cause of death was not apparent from the view of the scene, and that a complete

Mystery encircles human remains

Journal staff reportThe final event of the summer-

long speaker series, “Climate Action Imperative: Understanding Impacts & Making Choices,” kicks off with a hosted reception at 5 p.m. followed by panel discus-sion, 7 p.m., today, at San Juan Community Theatre.

Both events are free and open to all community members.

The back-to-back events wrap up the series, which featured eight climate change experts—oceanog-raphers to botanists, biologists to meteorologists.

Panel to weigh in at series finale

Journal photo / Scott RasmussenFriday Harbor’s Gabe Lawson tackles Vikings running back Pasha Bullock for a loss in first quarter action in the Wolverines 57-19 victory at home, Friday, Sept. 5, a decisive season-opening win in the annual Island Cup match up.

The floodgates opened early and often as the Wolverines rode a first-half scoring spree to a decisive 57-19 victory over the Vikings of Orcas at home, Friday, in their 2014 season-opener.

Capitalizing on a fumble by the Vikings on their very first play from scrimmage, Friday Harbor jumped out to a 8-0 lead with only 27 elapsed in the contest, as sophomore Kai Herko took the team’s first snap and rumbled 35 yards up the middle for a touchdown; quarterback Peter Holt scampered across the goal line to tag on a 2-point conversion.

“It was awesome,” senior Bill Revercomb said of the season opening win over the Wolverines inter-island rival. “I can’t wait until next Friday. I

didn’t really care all that much who we played. I just wanted to get out there and dominate who-ever it was.”

And dominate, they did.The Wolverines, playing this year in Division 2B

for the first time in more than a decade, exploded for 37 points and held the Vikings, who suited only 14 players for the contest, scoreless in the first half.

The season-opener marked the debut of Friday Harbor’s new offensive scheme, a “Wildcat-like” offensive set, featuring a heavily stacked backfield and absent wide receivers, known close to home as the “Wolverine.”

After the break, Friday Harbor needed only seconds to ratchet up the advantage as Revercomb, in his first game back after being sidelined in 2013 by a broken arm, took the opening kick off of the second half and dashed 60 yards for his third touchdown of the game.

The Town of Friday Harbor host a “Branding and Marketing Your Community” presentation featuring Roger Brooks, of Roger Brooks International, Thursday, Sept. 11, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., at the Grange Hall.

The presentation is open to the public and marks the kick off to the town’s Marketing and Branding ini-tiative, a process in which town officials will develop a specific branding book and town logo, together with marketing materials and way-finding signage.

The materials will be uti-lized in conjunction with the San Juan Island Visitors Bureau destination market-ing campaign, according to the town.

In addition, the town will use the branding and marketing components to attract new business and industry and maximize tourism potential.

Roger Brooks International was selected from numerous

candidates from around the country vying to develop a marketing and branding plan for the town.

Friday Harbor officials note that RBI brings 30 years’ experience in re-positioning communities into a destination of choice, an outstanding place to live and a place for investment and business growth.

A committee of town busi-ness owners and residents will join in the planning pro-cess. Brooks will return in November for a follow-up public presentation.

The author of “Your Town: A Destination,” Brooks has assisted nearly 1,000 communities with branding efforts, and is recognized as a dynamic,

inspiring speaker, using humor and real-life exam-ples to ensure an audience is engaged.

Orcas Power & Light Cooperative journeyman lineman Kevin Zoerb is back at work following an arduous journey of surger-ies and healing for injuries he suffered in September 2013 after coming into con-tact with a high voltage elec-trical line.

Dubbed the “Miracle Man” at Harborview Medical Center, Zoerb, a Lopez Island resident, has made a remarkable recov-ery.

“We are thrilled to wel-come Kevin back to work,” said OPALCO General Manager Foster Hildreth.

“Kevin is a veteran line-man; he and his family are important members of the OPALCO family.”

Zoerb was working on the south end of Lopez Island when he came in contact with a high-voltage electri-cal line in the morning of Sept. 20.

He was airlifted to Harborview and admitted into the burn center in criti-cal condition at the time.

The Co-op said in a press release that it is committed to supporting Zoerb as he regains strength and transi-tions back into the trade.

“We expect to see him

back in full force within a year,” the Co-op noted in its press release.

“OPALCO’s Safety Program will provide addi-tional training opportuni-ties to make sure this type of accident never happens again and to ensure the safe-ty and confidence of all of our operations staff.”

A community barbecue is scheduled on Friday, Oct. 3, noon to 3 p.m. at the Lopez Crew Station to celebrate Zoerb’s recovery and return to work.

Hamburgers, hot dogs and all the fixings will be provided. All are welcome.

‘Miracle Man’ returns to work

By Ed HaleSJC Utilities manager

With fall approaching we once again look toward the rainy season.

Last year the season started with a shockingly large storm event that overwhelmed our Eastsound storm sewer system. With that memory almost one year behind us, the Stormwater Utility is moving into the final phase of county-wide stormwater management planning.

We have completed Volume 1 of the County Stormwater plan, which describes the nature of 37 drainage basins in terms of the geology, hydrology, current land-use and potential development.

Based on that information, Volume 1 makes some broad suggestion for how we can manage stormwater. These range from developing more detailed plans in focus basins, including Eastsound and Lopez Village, to utilizing the treatment capacity available in existing ecological systems, such as wetlands, ponds and ditches. More specifics regard-ing these and other recommendations are presented in the recommendations section of Volume 1.

What does that mean for you and the planning process? Take a look at the report and recommendations on the

county web site and then come to one or more of the open house events scheduled during the week of Sept. 15. You will have an opportunity to ask questions of and suggest favorable options to the managers, scientists, citizens and engineers that are working on this plan.

We will also be unveiling the "Top 20" list of capital proj-ects. These are the projects that will be presented to the Citizens Stormwater Advisory Committee for final ranking

and eventual construction. This list was developed based on the results of Volume 1, existing drainage plans, and issues reported through the stormwater issue website that was available to citizens earlier this year.

See you at the open house.

Island Cuprevisited

The Vikings put 17 points up on the scoreboard late in the game to narrow the deficit, as Friday Harbor, with the contest in hand, substituted liberally in the final period.

With the victory, the Wolverines laid claim to the coveted Island Cup tro-phy for the third consecu-tive season, and in what proved another lopsided win. Friday Harbor held the Vikings scoreless in the pre-vious two meetings between the two inter-island rivals. Orcas last seized the trophy in 2011, with a 20-15 come-from-behind win on their home field.

The competition should prove more fierce this coming Friday, as the Wolverines travel to Concrete to square off against the Lions, who held

2B state semi-finalist La Conner to just two touch-downs in a 13-0 loss in a Northwest 2B League

opening clash for both teams, Sept. 5.

Kick off at Concrete is 6:30 p.m.

forensic examination will take place at the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office.

“Our first objective is to determine who this is and to notify his family,” he said.

He said that the family of the person belonging to the driver’s license lives elsewhere than Texas, and that the person is not listed on a national database of missing. He declined to give the age of the person on the license.

A medium-sized backpack in nearly new condition was found nearby. Gaylord said it contained a computer,

a change of clothes and certificates of graduation from Kansas State University, including a master’s degree in elec-trical engineering, as well as certificates from other schools. A May 21, 2014 edition of the Seattle Times was found in the backpack as well, but no food or other camping equip-ment was found at the site.

Established in 1921 and situated on the eastern lobe of Orcas Island, Moran State Park, a 5,579-acre campground, with 121 tent sites, 30 miles of hiking trails and five fresh-water lakes, has long been among the most popular public parks in Washington state. The tent containing the human remains was in a somewhat remote, off-trail area outside of the campground, Gaylord said.

Veteran film director, Andrew V. McLaglen, 94, of Friday Harbor, Washington, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday morning, August 30, 2014.

Born in London, England, he was the son of Academy Award-winning British actor Victor McLaglen and Enid Lamont. The family moved to Hollywood in 1925 when Andrew was five years old.

His interest in filmmaking began during his high school years at Cate School, just outside Santa Barbara, Calif. There he began making 16mm movies with his friends.

After spending one year at the University of Virginia he decided to pursue a film career against the advice of his father. He got his first job in 1945 as a production assis-tant at Republic Pictures. Andrew went on to work as an assistant director with John Ford (“The Quiet Man”) and William A. Wellman (“The High and the Mighty,” “Island in the Sky,” and “Blood Alley”). Andrew was then given his first directing opportunities by John Wayne on “Gun the Man Down” and “Man in the Vault.”  

Andrew went on to a prolific career in television, direct-ing 96 episodes of Gunsmoke (1956-1965) and 116 episodes of Have Gun Will Travel (1957-1963).

He returned to films in 1963 when he directed “McClintock!” starring John Wayne. He subsequently directed 26 films, among them the John Wayne starrers “Hellfighters,” “The Undefeated,” “Chisum” and “Cahill, US Marshall.” His other films include “Shenandoah,“ “The Rare Breed,” “Bandalero!” and “Fools Parade” all starring James Stewart.

He worked with many of Hollywood's greatest actors, including Richard Burton, Dean Martin, Kirk Douglas, Roger Moore, Robert Mitchum, Burt Lancaster, Gregory Peck, and William Holden.

At 6-foot, 7-inches he earned the nickname “Big A.” He was indeed larger than life and loved by all of his actors and crews.

Many who worked with Andrew share his favorite little trick. He would stand on the edge of your shoe, stepping just enough so you couldn’t pull your foot away. He would watch you strug-gle, all the while pretend-ing not to notice. Always a twinkle of play in every encounter…

He moved to San Juan Island, Washington in 1975, where he found his paradise. He met and married his 4th wife, Sheila Corbett in 1987. She passed away in 2005.

He was very active in the local community theatre in Friday Harbor, directing many plays over the years with the local talent. His love of film, theatre and life was evident in all that he did.

An avid tennis player and fan, Andrew traveled yearly to London to attend Queen’s Club and Wimbledon. Screams echoed off the pond on Sundays when everyone gathered at Andrew’s house to watch his beloved Seahawks. You could hear his roar across the island this January when his team made Superbowl history.

He is survived by his three children; Sharon Lannan, Josh McLaglen and Mary McLaglen, and his step daughter Laura Geniuch. His son Andrew Jr. died in 2006. He is also survived by his 10 grandchildren, all of whom will dearly miss him.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial dona-tions be made to the San Juan Community Theatre, 100 2nd Street North, Friday Harbor, WA 98250.

Hey, Post Office, what about this?

It is clear the road work on the streets adjacent to the Friday Harbor post office will continue into at least October, and won’t be completely finished until spring of next year. Shades of “Big Bertha” in Seattle . . .

The Post Office itself could help ease the traf-fic and congestion in that area, and in its own park-ing lot, by temporarily plac-ing mail-drop boxes at four or five locations around the perimeter of the Town. These could be posted for pickup at 1:30 p.m. or earlier, ensuring that mail deposited in these boxes would meet the daily 3 p.m. dispatch to the mainland.

Many postal patrons go to the post office only to mail something that already has postage affixed (stamps, their own postal meter postage, a pre-paid label purchased on-line, a return envelope with pre-paid postage, etc); these custom-ers are not there to pur-chase anything or to visit a post office box. Temporarily locating mail-drop boxes elsewhere around the town would alleviate the necessity of these patrons visiting the post office at all, and would help to ease some of the congestion in that area.

Several convenient loca-tions come to mind: The parking lot of the county Fire Station on Mullis St.; the grounds of the sewage treatment plant at Harbor St. and Tucker Ave; the parking lot of OPALCO on Beaverton Valley Rd; the

parking lot of the Peace Health Medical Center at the upper end of Spring St; the Park-&-Ride ferry lot on Nichols St.

You and your readers can probably think of other locations just as suitable.

Locating temporary mail drop boxes is equally in the interests of the Post Office itself as for the rest of us; I’m confident that the owners or occupants of these locations would be willing to accom-modate the temporary loca-tion of a free-standing mail drop box on their prem-ises “for the common good” until this road work is fin-ished and business returns to normal.

Bicyclists at risk on SJ roadways

Gee Whiz! What if a news organization like the Seattle Times had a news item headed “San Juan Island unsafe for tourist,” of course, later in the article the fact that it is unsafe for bicyclists would come out.

This would beg the ques-tion: “Would it be safe to take my family to go to San Juan Island on vacation?”

One wonders why if an automobile goes off the road, there is a sprouting of guard rails all over the island, but when an acci-dent between an automobile and bicycle (there have been two in the last two months) that the powers that be stick their collective heads in the sand with flawed reasoning such as: “We cannot provide proper shoulders, or, it’s the biker’s fault.”

This reasoning is bogus and sidesteps the real prob-lem. Gosh, they (the pow-

ers that be) could form a committee to look into it, that would kick the can down the road for a year or two—and just hope that there won’t be an auto-bike fatality in the meantime.

There may be a solution. I believe there are intelli-gent folks on the island to address the problem.

By the by, there is the law (you know, the rules we live by), the “revised code of Washington (RCW). RCW 46.04.670 states: “a bicycle is legally defined as a vehicle when on the road…” RCW 46.61.770 states: “a bicycle may take the middle of the lane.”

I submit that if there is dislike or disagreement of the law, the law can be amended.

Oops, our bad, we meant no offense

Please allow us to use this forum to publicly apologize for offending the residents of Friday Harbor by post-ing notices around town announcing “Remember the Rendezvous” Salmon Barbecue that the Lion’s club will be hosting at the Fair Grounds on September 13 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

We have been asked by the town to “Cease and Desist” and we will, of course, do so.

It has never been the intention of the Lion’s Club of San Juan Island to offend anyone.

Indeed, our sole purpose is to try to contribute to the community. We do this by providing scholarships to the students of the island.

In addition, we assist with eye exams, glasses and hear-

ing aids. We arrange free health screening exams as well as providing firewood to the needy in winters. We have always been avail-able to assist in fundraising events for island residents with serious health prob-lems.

We would never know-ingly do anything to offend our neighbors or to detract from the beauty of our island. We hope that this will not prevent people from attending the “Remember the Rendezvous” Salmon Barbecue on September 13 at the Fair Grounds.

Many people may not remember “The Rendezvous,” a San Juan Island tradition that started in 1948 and occurred annu-ally until the early ‘80s. It drew thousands of people each year and ended, ironi-cally, because it became too large to manage!

In addition to a deli-cious barbecue salmon dinner, there will be live music as well as live and silent auctions. In order to

avoid the fate of the previ-ous Rendezvous, we will be forced to limit attendance to the first 250 people who purchase tickets.

Again, allow us to apolo-gize for any offense we may have given.

Foundation helps in bettering lives

We would like to express our gratitude for what The Community Foundation of San Juan Island, and the community donors who support us through this foundation, have done to help those in need of our lifesaving and life-changing services.

This is especially criti-cal as anyone, at any time, can be in need of domestic violence or sexual assault support.

An important way of expressing this is for us to admit that we cannot help others unless we receive your help. Your gifts make it possible for others to experience the empathy, the care, and the resources that they deserve and need—so they can heal and thrive.

We truly cannot thank you enough for making all of this possible. With our deepest gratitude;

Editorial

Help make a differenceWhen you support Relay for Life, you are help-

ing someone win a battle against cancer. You are helping educate people so they

know about healthier choices and how to reduce their cancer risk. And you are helping to fund research that will someday make cancer go the way of polio.

Relay for Life is held in thousands of communities across the United States, and in Friday Harbor as well. This year, the event takes place Saturday, Sept. 27, at the fairgrounds, 3-11 p.m.

Dozens of individuals and local businesses are devoting time, energy and resources to make this year’s Relay For Life both a profitable fundraiser—scores of services, col-lectables, products and must-have items will be available as part of the silent auction—and a unique and entertaining community get together.

San Juan Island’s very own “Big Band,” the One More Time Band will perform, the always captivating Ballet Folklorica troupe will bedazzle with a series of Mexican folk dances, belly dancers, food vendors, kids games and many more activities are in store, too.

Thankfully, advances in medicine, treatment and tech-nology have combined to make a diagnosis of cancer a far less inevitable, deadly fate than it once was. That’s in part thanks to funds raised by Relay for Life, and the work of the American Cancer Society, which has more than $434 million in research grants in effect today.

The result of those research dollars? Since 1946, the American Cancer Society has invested more than $3.1 billion in research. In 1946, 25 percent of cancer patients lived at least five years after diagnosis; today, that rate is 60 percent. (See Teddy Deane’s guest column about prostate cancer, page 13, and the local support group, “Us Too”)

Still, in many ways the search for a cure for cancer, and battle to help better the lives of those who contract the dis-ease truly begin at home, in our own backyard.

There’s still time to join the effort and plenty of oppor-tunity to lend a hand. Funds raised by the Friday Harbot Relay for Life chapter help support local programs that assist islanders battling the disease.

friends affected by cancer in some way. I know I have, and this is why I am volun-teering for this effort.

Local volunteers are a huge part of the nationwide effort to save lives and cre-ate a world with less cancer. Relay For Life is the world’s largest movement to end cancer engaging four mil-lion people annually.

Through the Relay For Life of Friday Harbor, every person in our community can join with many people they know and care about in the fight by volunteering and creating awareness of a disease that affects us all in some way. Your donations of time, money or items for the auction at our event are appreciated.

The local email contact is: RelayForLifeFridayHarbor@gmail.com

Money raised at Relay For Life helps move the mission of the American Cancer Society—to eliminate can-cer as a major health prob-lem both locally and nation-wide.

We encourage you to participate in our event on Sept. 27, as your time or donations make a differ-ence. This will help sup-port local programs for patients; including trans-

portation assistance, free lodging for those undergo-ing treatment, and Look Good… Feel Better classes (classes that provide sup-port to women). This is just to mention a few.

Relay For Life makes it possible for the American Cancer Society to provide helpful information on can-cer, treatments, support ser-vices, and more 24 hours a day, 365 days a year at 1-800-227-2345 and cancer.org.

Now is the time for Friday Harbor community members to help finish the fight against cancer.

Please help us in: celebrat-ing survivors, remembering loved ones no longer here, taking a pledge to fight back against this disease, form-ing a team and volunteering for Relay For Life of Friday Harbor today.

Eyesore? Baffled by mural’s snub

MICHAEL HERKOSan Juan Island

Back off… chapel is meant for all

Reuben Tarte, my father, had the extraordinary vision of converting an old derelict Lime Plant into a Resort and Marina in 1956.

The chapel “Our Lady of Good Voyage” at Roche Harbor was converted from an old school house by my Mother Clara Tarte that same year.

The intent of this edifice, a place of worship for all whom ventured forth to this outstanding island retreat. A place where all would enjoy the incomparable experience, that is, Roche Harbor.

Our entire family lived our lives and worked in pur-suit of this endeavor, some are yet involved. The origi-nal concept was called by Reuben, a “Boatel,” which now bares the moniker of “Marina” and “Village.”

Exclusivity was never considered, all were wel-comed and encouraged to enjoy the unique experi-ence that is Roche Harbor today.

The chapel, “Our Lady of Good Voyage,” was intend-ed to be a safe haven for all. My parents Reuben and Clara, brother, Neil, his wife Margaret and my first husband, Robert Tangney,

(killed at Roche Harbor 7/4/71) were all buried from that chapel. I was married to my second husband, Bob Kennedy, in that chapel, my children have been married in that chapel, my grand-children and great grand-children have been baptized in that chapel.

My soul resides in that chapel and I too shall be laid to rest from Our Lady of Good Voyage.

I was taught by my par-ents to embrace the diver-sity that is the heart and strength of our country and our church. The very idea of restricting the use, to wor-ship, partake and enjoy Our Lady of Good Voyage to Catholics only is as repug-nant to me as the concept of segregation. I am certain my mother and father would concur.

Roche Harbor and Our Lady of Good Voyage were conceived, developed, and are here today for guests, boaters, and residents, and is available for all who come to marvel at the beauty of Roche Harbor and the San Juan Islands.

Roche Harbor and Our Lady of Good Voyage were never intended to be an “elitist” community, with artificial barriers that have outlived their time.

Guest Column

Farmers’ fraternity; San Juan to Asia

By Bruce GregorySpecial to the Journal

In the remote area of Central Asia is a small country called Tajikistan that up until 1991 was part of the Soviet Union.

Tajikistan is south of Kyrgyzstan, a country we visited in 2004 and again in 2006 with the F2F program.

Tajikistan has one of the lowest per capita GDPs among the 15 former Soviet republics. Twenty-one percent of their GDP is from agriculture. Thirty-five percent of the 8 million people who live in Tajikistan live below the poverty level. Forty-six percent of the work force is involved in agriculture.

As part of a continuing program to assist the now inde-pendent countries that emerged from the break-up of the Soviet bloc, the U.S. Agency for International Development, Volunteers for Overseas Cooperative Assistance, Agency for Cooperative Development International, in cooperation with local Tajiks, have recruited volunteers from the U.S. who have experience in agriculture to go to Tajikistan on farmer-to-farmer exchanges.

I have been asked to return to Central Asia and the country of Tajikistan in November to assist a small group of farmers in the village of Mekhnatobod Jamoat (near Qurghon-Teppa city) in the southwestern part of Tajikistan. My host will be the Alosher Dehkan Farm, owned by Mr. Firdavs Safarov.

The host group in Mekhnatobod Jamoat village is a fam-ily group of seven that collectively manage a 1.5 hectare

orchard of apples, pears, plums, cherry, apricots, peaches and almonds. In addition, I will be working with farmers in 12 other districts of the Khatlon Province throughout my three-week stay. There are another 200 indirect beneficia-ries in the group; men, women and children.

The work I will be doing is to help the growers iden-tify and start implementing improvements in their orchard management practices. There is little money for orchard technologies that we in the U.S. take for granted.

Most of what I will be doing is helping them improve their pruning methods, work on fertility and integrated pest management using mostly organic methods and providing them feed back on how they can take their limited resources and improve their quality of life through their farming and

Global assistance programs help unite farmers in a common cause

“Serving the San Juan Islands for over 40 years”

Bruce died peacefully on Labor Day on San Juan Island.He was born in Iowa and spent his formative years on the

family farm. Upon graduation from high school he enlisted in the army and eventually came to the Northwest, stationed at Fort Lawton. Following a tour of duty in Korea during the Korean conflict, he was discharged and returned to Iowa for education at Waldorf College and Drake University.

The lure of the mountains brought him back to the Northwest, his home for over 50 years. The finance business occupied his week days for 25 years before he turned to real estate appraisal, from which he retired.

But the mountains were his pleasure – hiking, skiing, and fishing. There he met his wife, Mary Ryan. They married and raised their two children, Scott and Jennifer, on week-

ends at the cabin he and his brother, LeRoy, had purchased in the late '50s, near Crystal Mountain.

Bruce skied the mountains of the West, always coming back to Crystal Mountain where a run is named for him. When he and Mary moved to San Juan Island in 1995, the proximity to Whistler, B.C. lured him and he spent many winter week days skiing its runs.

To fill his summer days on San Juan Island he joined the San Juan Golf Club and participated in many Celebrity Classics. Bruce is survived by his wife Mary, his son Scott, daughter Jennifer Prewitt (Lee), granddaughters Audrey and Evelynn Prewitt and his brother LeRoy.

Memorial donations may be made to the Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor or the American Heart Association.

My time in Tajikistan is vol-unteer time given by me.

The budget for this pro-gram does not include funds for simple pruning tools, sharpeners, educa-tional materials or books, nor soil test kits, which are

in high demand.I am now in the process

of collecting as many of these items and materials as possible to take with me when I leave in November.

We do not have a lot of money ourselves, just big hearts, some skills to share and the determination to help out some fellow farm-ers in a remote country.

If you (or anyone you know) would consid-er donating funds of any amount to be used to pro-cure the above mentioned items we would appreci-ate it. In April of 2004 and again in 2006, the members of the Kyzyl-Alma associa-tion and growers in Gulbaar village, both in Kyrgyzstan, were most grateful for the items we were able to leave. Those items were paid for with donations from the San Juan Islands commu-nity.

If you wish to donate money to this project please send a check and mail

We can also take funds via PayPal at mbfarm@rockisland.com; please ref-erence the Tajikistan project with your gift donation.

Any funds not used by the time the suitcases are full will be donated to VOCA/ACDI. If you have additional questions please call us at 378-2309 or email us at: mbfarm@rockisland.com

I am required by the Volunteers for Overseas Cooperative Assistance, and Agency for Cooperative Development International to give several outreach pre-sentations once I return, so look forward to a visual pre-sentation with dialog upon my return. Thank you very much.

The Friday Harbor boys soccer team has strug-gled since it bumped

up to Division 1A competi-tion about a decade ago.

So, with this year’s drop down to the 2B level (due to lower enrollment at the high school) the 2014 team is “chomping at the bit” to unleash its 1A-fortified game, wipe from its slate a decade of frustration and become the catalyst for a new era of success on the field of competition.

It’s not only the divisional drop that suggests that’s precisely what might hap-pen. With experience, size, numbers (30 players turned out for the team) and per-

haps the most well-condi-tioned squad in the league, the stars are aligned for the 2014 Wolverines.

“Suddenly we have the numbers we didn’t have in 1A,” Coach Andy Duke said. “This is the biggest squad Friday Harbor has ever had, both in numbers and in size. We’re huge.”

Nearly a dozen seniors return to the lineup, some of whom, like Sam Stewart, Michael Hoeller, Sam Gabler-Brown and Peter Strasser, stand six-feet tall or better, and are well-versed in throwing their weight around. Friday Harbor also boasts an international-melded lineup, with a player

from France, another from Spain, two from China, and three back from a year of foreign exchange.

And, with the switch from spring to the fall season, the Wolverines will start a 16

Coach Richard Ledford begins the 2014 season with modest goals and a readiness to take the upcoming campaign one game at a time.

“We want to be 1-0 after the first game and we’ll take it from there,” said Ledford, who marks his 40th season as a high school football coach in his second year in a second stint at Friday Harbor High School.

While the team loses Nathan Steenkolk, who added his name to the list of Wolverines all-time rushing leaders and scored a touchdown in this year’s state all-star game, Ledford isn’t worried. Seven seniors return to the lineup, including standouts Gabe Lawson, Peter Holt, Willie Blackmon and Bill Revercomb, sidelined in 2013 with a broken arm.

Ledford will look to these four to provide leadership to a squad that team captain Holt says is already a team-oriented group.

“Nobody stands out more than anybody else,” he said. “Most of us have been playing together since youth football, so it’s a close group of guys.”

Coach Ledford echoed that statement. “It’s a great group of young men playing football,” he said.

“They’re a joy to coach. Together, everyone accomplishes more.”

The Wolverines will unleash a new offense this year. “It’s a pretty significant change and it makes us a more

dangerous team,” Holt said. “I can guarantee nobody will have seen this type of offense before.”

One aspect Ledford is fairly unfamiliar with is the lack of

depth on this year’s roster. Only 38 players turned out this year; Ledford is more used to a team with 50.

“People have to learn two positions to give us depth, but that is typical with a small school,” the veteran coach said.

Last season proved a difficult one, as the Wolverines tangled with the likes of Division 2A Anacortes, as well as 1A powerhouses Meridian, Blaine and Mount Baker (who ended up 2nd in the state).

“Competition brings out good things,” Ledford said. “I think we will come out stronger, even though last year we

Expectations are running high over in Turnbull Gym. And, with good reason.

Not only does Head Coach Travis Mager welcome back the heart of the team that a year ago topped all others in amassing victories over the past decade, finishing 12-6 overall and on the doorstep of the Division 1A Tri-District tournament, but there’s still room to grow.

“We’ve only got one senior,” Mager said, eye-beams on high.

Back to anchor the front line, prowling the net with height and a formidable lefty-righty combination are the Wolverines twin towers, juniors Allie Galt and Madi Kincaid. By their side will be the team’s most athletically gifted player, Elli Wood, who, as a freshman, displayed an impressive ability to get up in the air and deliver a lethal blow.

Also returning to the lineup is Taylor Turnbull, heir apparent for the “setter” position, a role that she grew com-

A buzz surrounded the girls soccer squad when they became the first to take the field at the new Carter Street ballfields.

It seemed like nobody knew the team had lost seven seniors, four first-team all-leaguers, to boot. It’s an excited group of 26 girls seek-ing to build on a 2013 season that saw them win the Northwest League with a perfect 8-0 record, only to be ousted handily in post-sea-son play, in a 7-1 loss to King’s High School,

which ended the season second in the state.Like the rest of Friday Harbor High

School’s athletic teams, the girls soccer squad drops to the 2B classification. For coach Paul Hopkins and crew, the switch doesn’t mean a huge change in opponents, as 7-of-8 teams the Wolverines will face are squads they took on last fall.

But it does change the mentality about where the Wolverines want to be come

playoff time. “Our goals are to win the league, like we

did last year and see what we can do in the playoffs,” Hopkins said.

The Wolverines will be tested early, with four games on the road to start the season, the last three in a four-day span, a league match-up with 2B league runner-up La Conner before back-to-back non-league games against Division 2A Lynden and Sedro-Woolley.

The Wolverines this year face all four Northwest 2B League opponents three times each, in the past they’ve played each other twice.

“It’ll be fun, especially with La Conner

and Mount Vernon Christian,” said Hopkins, now in his third year at the helm of the girls soccer program. “It gives a little buffer, but you wanna’ win all three.”

Another challenge Hopkins and JV coach Emily Carrington face is a drop in play-

fortable with a year ago, and who will have three seasoned veterans that are well-versed with what to do with a well-placed pass. Mager, now in his 10th year at the helm on a program on the rise, has another five players on the varsity squad to compete for or share two

other positions in the start-ing rotation.

First-year coach Nadine Varsovia has about a dozen players on the junior varsity squad who, with a little time, attention and fine-tuning, will help keep the program at its elevated pitch.

Like all other Friday Harbor athletic teams, the Wolverines volleyball squad will be competing in Division 2B this sea-

son, no longer matched up against the likes of Lynden Christian, Nooksack Valley or Meridian, with posi-tion in post-season play on the line. But with Division 2A Sedro Woolley and Coupeville lying in wait, as well as two league contests against La Conner waiting in the wings, the Wolverines 13-game regular-season schedule will be anything but a cakewalk.

With the loss to gradu-ation of Kendra Meeker, a fiery competitor and team catalyst in 2013, there also remains the question of who will step up and assume the leadership role.

Experience and talent can take you only so far, and a team must be motivat-ed and ready to perform each and every match if it expects to come away with a win, Mager said.

“We’re still young, but we have a really well-balanced team,” he said. “I’d say the biggest hurdle is that they’ll need to find a way to keep their intensity up in each and ever match.”

Still, nothing succeeds like success, and it’s a safe bet that the Wolverines will find a way to continue their winning ways.

THANK YOU to those individuals and businesses thatpurchased items at our 4-H Animal Auction during the Fair.

The Friday Harbor boys tennis program enters the 2014 season on life-support.

On the eve of competition, prospective opponents shied away from putting the Wolverines on their calendar because of the absence of bodies on the Friday Harbor roster, and the team at the moment lacks anything resembling a match schedule for the season ahead. In fact, with an early season turnout totaling just two players, both new to the program, first-year head coach Ben Troutman and company may likely end up losing the entire season without a single swing of the racquet.

“The magic number is six,” Troutman said of amount of players needed to cement a schedule. “We’ll keep practicing and working on our game, and hope for the best.”

In the meantime, sophomore Griffin Cuomo and freshman Erich Atwell will surely benefit from what effectively amount to private lessons from one of the island’s premier tennis players.

Still, Troutman, a Friday Harbor Middle School fac-

ulty member and former collegiate tennis player, inherits a once-proud program that even longtime coach Dick Barnes struggled to keep replenished with new recruits in the last several seasons of a 26-year tenure at the helm. In contrast, participation on the girls tennis team, which competes in the spring, has surged over the last several years.

Why the lack of interest? Hard to say, but with overall enrollment at the high school in steady decline and with football, and now soccer, competing for bodies, whether the extended dip in participation proves fatal for the boys tennis program remains to be seen.

Athletic Director Rod Turnbull said that the district is committed to keeping the program alive if even only a few students remain enthusiastic and dedicated to the sport. Tennis can be sanctioned as either a “team” or an “indi-vidual” sport, and that the program can continue with a minimum of three players, and that an opportunity for post-season play exists even if other schools decline to participate against Friday Harbor as part of a regular-season schedule.

Nevertheless, Turnbull cautions that a severely down-sized program may not make financial sense in the long run.

So, with the boys tennis program on the brink of collapse, the question obviously becomes… tennis, anyone?

might have had some discouragement.” This year, Friday Harbor will be one of the larger 2B

teams, returning to a league that features Darrington, Concrete, Orcas and La Conner.

Ledford singles out La Conner as one of the stronger 2B opponents.

“They went to the state championship two years ago and the semi-finals last year, so they have a great class 2B program,” he said of La Conner, whom the Wolverines just

barely beat in a 30-28 nail-biter a year ago. Darrington and Concrete have been strong in recent years

as well, each making state 2B appearances last season. Ledford believes the Wolverines will be able to compete with the 2B best.

“I can’t predict wins or losses, but we will have a competi-tive team.”

That competitive edge was on full display in the Sept. 5 season-opener, as the Wolverines retained the coveted Island Cup trophy with a 57-19 win at home over Orcas. The win bodes well for the season ahead, as the Wolverines take to the road to renew its former rivalry with Concrete.

er turnout. There will be 13 players on each squad, but there will be flex-ibility between the two squads, with swing players switching around during and between games, and whenever the Wolverines play smaller schools with no JV squads, like Orcas and Concrete.

Hopkins also wants to establish a new style of play, with a change in formation, switching from a “burn the other team with speed” type offense to a possession in the midfield-oriented game.

Hopkins said that although he has seven seniors and only two freshman, every girl must play like they’ve been on the team for years.

Team captain Kaitlyn Domenech, a senior, agrees. “We’re learning how to

mesh well together and in time I have confidence that we will be a very close team,” she said.

Without a true “star” to carry the squad, Hopkins said success will depend on how well the players play together as a team.

“We want to play well into November, only two months of the season is too short,” he said.

They’ll be tested early, pitted against defending Northwest 2B League champion Mount Vernon Christian on the road, Sept. 13, in the second game of the season. La Conner comes next, then Shoreline Christian, Sept. 22, in the team’s home opener.

“These seniors have been waiting for a long time for this year,” Duke said, “since they were freshman.”

For the Wolverines, the wait is over. — Scott Rasmussen

It’s a new date and new venue, but a familiar and indispensable mis-sion for San Juan Island’s Relay for Life.

Now in its 10th year, the local Relay for Life event not only raises money to help support the American Cancer Society’s search for a cure and battle against the disease, it provides funding for local sup-port programs to assist those battling cancer as well. Programs include financial assistance for transportation for off-island appointments and over-night lodging, “Look Good… Feel Better” classes (offering sup-port for women), a toll-free 24/7 assistance hotline and, ultimately, research beyond the island that has helped save or better the lives of many islanders engaged in a battle against cancer.

The 2014 Relay for Life event, Saturday, Sept. 27, at the Friday Harbor Fairgrounds, will feature an assortment of activities, entertain-ment and fund-raising opportunities. The afternoon begins with a Survivors Reception, at 2 p.m., and the Relay for Life event is 3-11 p.m.

The list of enter-tainers includes Friday Harbor’s own One More Time Band, playing “Big Band” hits from the ‘40s, and more, belly dances of both Egyptian and Turkish origin by Ferah Bukay and

Amy Lopez, and a host of traditional Mexican dances performed by the always enchant-ing and color-fully costumed Ballet Folkorica.

Town of Friday Harbor Administrator Duncan Wilson will emcee the event, and a silent auction will feature services and items donated by Altier Hair Salon, San Juan Safaris, Western Prince, San Juan Fitness, Even Song Hand Crafted Soap, San Juan Island Suites, as well as guitar lessons, handmade jewlery, coaching by a personal trainer and a 1956 photograph of Elvis valued at $750, and much, much more.

September is prostate cancer awareness month.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men. A total of 5,700 men in Washington were diagnosed in 2013 and 730 died from it.

Having said that, most men live with it for a long time. Diagnosis requires that you pay attention to it so you don’t end up in the second category, if you can help it.* Keeping informed and helping others is a good place to start.

As a 17-year survivor myself, I have observed the changes in attitudes that this disease has gone through for quite a while. When I was diagnosed in 1997 there was not a lot of infor-mation available, men mostly shied away from talking about it; information groups were hard to come by and treatments were much more primitive than they are today.

Diagnosis, evaluation, treatments, and other options have come a long way thanks to sci-ence and echnology, and there are more and more support and information groups, includ-ing an “Us TOO” group (a part of “Us TOO” International) in Friday Harbor that meets monthly at the Mullis Center.

Unfortunately, mens’ attitudes toward the disease still remain somewhat closeted, although they are getting better as public awareness does reduce some of the fear older men have about discussing it. Our “Us TOO” group has grown significantly over the last decade and I feel that we have helped a lot of men who have come in, very anxiously, with a new diagnosis.

Seeing all of us survivors and hearing about our experiences has not only given these men encouragement but also a better handle on what to expect in everyday terms. We also try to keep current with technology and local practices, and we try to answer as many ques-tions as possible without giving medical advice.

Us TOO, Friday Harbor Chapter, is a com-munity service for anyone wanting to know more about prostate cancer issues and every-one, male and female, are welcome as PCa is a family disease. We also encourage PCa survi-vors in the community to check in at least once in a while, because it’s not about you, it’s about who you can help.

Us TOO meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month, starting in September, at the Mullis Center, from 6-7 p.m.

*(Early diagnosis helps longevity, PSA

s c r e e n -ing helps early diagnosis, get it checked).

Forgotten tale of ‘Troubadour’ retold

Turn over stones on the trail of American history and you’re sure to come across an unexpected and perhaps alto-gether unappreciated story.

That’s precisely what Seattle-area author and U of W professor Michael Honey has done with his latest book, “Sharecropper’s Troubadour,” bringing to life the provoca-tive story of John Handcox, folksinger, labor-union flag-bearer and the working man’s Woody Guthrie, but without the dubious distinction of having penned government-sponsored tunes of propaganda.

Professor of American history at U of W-Tacoma, Honey, a former Southern civil rights organizer and 2011 Guggenheim fellow, is author of three books on the history of labor and civil rights, including “Going Down Jericho Road: The Memphis Strike, Martin Luther King’s Last Campaign.”

He will be at Griffin Bay Bookstore to share insights about his latest work and about the life and times of Handcox(the presentation includes a slideshow and short film) Saturday, Sept. 13, at 7 p.m.

Descended from African-American slaves, Native Americans and white slave owners, Handcox was born into a family of poor Arkansas sharecroppers in 1904.

He survived attempted lynchings, floods, droughts and the ravages of the Great Depression and went on to cement a place in history as a living symbol of equal rights, organizing black and white farmers alike, on behalf of the Southern Tenant Farmers Union.

Several of his songs, “Roll the Union On” and “There is Mean Things Happening in

this Land” became anthems of the pre-war labor movement. Honey puts pen to paper in a fascinating oral history that

presents Handcox to the reader in his own words, recount-ing a journey that began in a sharecropper’s shack in the Deep South and that went on to shape the labor music tradition, all amid the tangled and troubled history of the United States in the early 20th century. Michael Honey

Contributed art “Sharecropper’s Troubadour” recounts the rags to legend story of folksinger and labor-union flag-bearer John Handcox.

Life and times of John Handcox revisited Saturday, 7 p.m., at Griffin Bay Bookstore

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

overall personal awesomeness.!

Encore, encore: It’s ‘Broadway’

To the delight of those that missed it the first time around, and for those blown away by the July show, pia-nist Carol Hooper and friends are at it again.

On the heels of a sold-out show in July, Hooper and company will pres-ent back-to-back perfor-mances of their “Broadway Melodies” show at San Juan Community Theatre Saturday and Sunday, at 7:30 p.m. in the Gubelman Theatre.

Returning to the stage, with accompaniment from Carol or Jim Collado are Penelope Haskew, Carol and Jim Hooper, Keith Keyser, Trudy and Joely Loucks, Scott Mapstead, Amanda Smith and Andy, Jill and

Lucy Urbach. Expect to hear captivating

renditions of Broadway and popular favorites, includ-ing songs from “Sound of Music,” “Once Upon a Mattress,” “Wicked,” “The Addams Family” and “Little Shop of Horrors.

The Business Partner for the concerts is Islanders Bank. Tickets are $12 each; purchase at SJCT box Office or online, at www.sjcthe-atre.org.

Lives at stake; First Aid, CPR

Island Rec is offering First Aid and CPR certification classes in mid-September.

Participants earn two-year certification upon successfully complet-ing the American Heart Association programs. Both classes are at the Frank Wilson EMS building, on the campus of Peace Island Medical Center; fee is $27.

Rockfish: talk on trail of recovery

The Whale Museum wel-comes Dan Tonnes as part of its 2014 Summer Lecture Series. Tonnes’ talk, entitled “The Long Term Investment in Rockfish Recovery,” is Monday, Sept. 15, at The Whale Museum, beginning at 6:30 p.m.

A biologist with NOAA Fisheries, Tonnes’ presen-tation focuses on recovery efforts on behalf of threat-ened and endangered rock-fish, such as the Yelloweye, canary and bocaccio of Puget Sound, which were listed under the Endangered Species in Act in 2010.

The long lives and low reproductive survival combined with past over-harvesting and degraded habitats, have resulted in

declines of many popu-lations of rockfish in the Salish Sea.

In this talk, Tonnes will discuss the unique life his-tory of rockfish, recent research and recovery efforts, and how recovering rockfish will contribute to recovery of the local eco-system. The lecture is free and open to the public. For more info, contact the Whale Museum, 378-4710,

or visit www.whalemuse-um.org.

Choir adds song to ‘Shining Night’

Grab the calendar. Here’s one you don’t want to miss.

The Northwest Repertory Singers will perform several compositions by acclaimed composer Morten Lauridsen (part-time Waldron Island resident) as

part of a special screening of the documentary showcas-ing his life, “Shining Night,” selected as “People’s Choice” at the 2013 Friday Harbor Film Festival.

The screening is Saturday, Sept. 20, at San Juan Community Theatre.

Tickets are $20 adults, $10 student reserved, $5 RUSH, day of the show. For info, visit www.sjctheatre.org.

For the sake of her husband, Jason, Medea leaves her home and bears two sons in exile. But when Jason abandons his family for a new life, Medea faces banishment and separation from her children. Cornered, she begs for one day’s grace. Time enough to exact an appalling revenge and destroy everything she holds dear.

Tickets: $20 adults ($18 for SJCT members), $10 for student reserved. Purchase at the theatre box office Monday-Friday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m, or online at www.sjctheatre.org

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a firewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

20 — Wednesday, September 10, 2014 LOCAL The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com

Once upon a time, islanders gathered by the hundreds—sometimes by the thousands—on the Friday Harbor waterfront to celebrate and enjoy the waning days of the summer season, and to show off the delights of San Juan Island to family, friends and visitors, with a king-sized feast of barbecued salmon and with a long, varied list of activities and entertain-ment, like music, dancing, log-rolling contest and row boat races, and even water-skiing.

Actually, it wasn’t just once upon a time, the San Juan “Rendezvous” first got its start in 1948, as a homecoming of sorts and sponsored at that time by the Chamber of Commerce, and ran through the early ‘80s. It proved an instant hit.

In fact, according to newspaper reports of the day, as many as 2,500 people attended the 1950 Rendezvous and as much as 1,500 pounds of salmon came off the grill. That year the U.S. Navy sent a destroyer escort, the “Grady,” to add to the festivities.

The San Juan Island Lions Club, a former event sponsor, is resurrecting that beloved tradition by staging a Rendezvous-like happening of its own, Saturday, Sept. 13, at the Friday Harbor fairgrounds, 3-7 p.m., featuring a

salmon barbecue, music by the Argyle Street Jazz Band, and live and silent auction. Tickets, $20, are limited to 250, and proceeds from the event will benefit various Lions Club-sponsored projects, programs and charities. Tickets will be available for purchase at the door on the day of the event.
