The assessed value of all properties in San Juan County dropped by a combined $1.7 billion for 2013, an average of 21.4 percent, according to initial reports released by the county assessor.
Most property owners will see the assessed value of their property go down in 2013, but many assessments on Orcas Island went down even further- by more than 30 percent.
“That’s due to the fact that those properties were last appraised in 2008 at the top of the market,” Assessor Charles Zalmanek said.
The only properties in the county with an increased assessed value, Zalmanek adds, are “several large condominium boat slips at Capron’s Landing.”
He went on to explain that extreme adjustments would be unlikely to occur in the future because county appraisers will be reassessing the entire coun-ty every year, instead of every three years, using new statistical methods being implemented statewide by the Department of Revenue.

After 35 years as a couple, Karen Kuster and Susan Moon had pretty much done it all. They raised three adopted children, have a second grandchild on the way, and seven years ago retired to San Juan Island without ever having stepped a foot on the island.
The two, formerly of Los Angles, became smitten by a book about the islands
But then Referendum 74 came along. And Moon and Kuster will soon embark on a new era in their three-decade long relationship. With a marriage license in hand, they intend to wed on the solstice, Dec. 21.
“It’s a special time for us,” Moon said. “That’s when we celebrate Christmas, really.”
Six marriage licenses were issued to same-sex couples last week by the San Juan County Auditor’s office. Not only did local voters join their state counterparts in embracing Ref. 74, which legalizes gay marriage in Washington state, they did so enthusiastically, with 71 per-cent approval, compared to 54 percent state-wide.

A total of one hundred fish were hooked, reeled in and weighed on the first day of the derby alone.
That’s four more than were weighed-in both days combined the years before.
But in the end, at the conclusion of the 3rd Annual Resurrection Derby, none proved any bigger, or more valuable, than the 15.67-pounder that shot Bob Norling of Everett to the top of the leader board at the
end of Day 1. Norling, a derby vet-eran who ended up in a three-way tie for second place a year ago, net-ted a cool $10,000 cash, the derby’s top prize, by outlasting the compe-tition on the second and final day of the event.
Talk about value added? Norling’s winning fish equals roughly $640 per pound.
Seventy-five teams, most with four anglers each, took part in this year’s Resurrection Derby. That’s

Orcas Power and Light Cooperative wants you to know “the check’s in the mail.”
The member-owned cooperative electric utility that delivers power to the San Juan Islands announced Dec. 5 that it is distrib-uting $628,146 to 3,742 people who were co-op customers, thus “members,” in 1987.
The distribution represents profits from 1987; OPALCO calls them “margins”. Margins are allocated to a member’s capi-tal account from “all amounts in excess of operating costs and expenses” for a given year.
These allocations, called “capital cred-its,” are retained by the cooperative for 25 years and used primarily as part of its operating capital. Distributions of “capital credits” are made on a 25-year cycle: only OPALCO member-customers from 1987 will receive checks. The co-op did not say whether the amounts distributed included
the entire 1987 “margin,” or profit, just that the distributions are made “once a year, as OPALCO’s finances permit.”
The co-op noted in its press release that checks range from $5 to “thousands of dol-lars” to large power users such as schools and grocery stores. “The majority of the checks are in the range of $100 - $250,” according to the co-op.
Distributions of less than $5 or distribu-tions to members from 1987 who cannot be located are held for two years, then allocat-ed to either the Education and Promotion Fund or the Retirement and Replacement Fund. OPALCO urges members and for-mer members to keep the co-op updated with a current address.
Deceased members may be paid capi-tal credits “on a discounted basis, upon approval of the Board,” according to the cooperative.

In 2009, the National Marine Fisheries Service proposed a “no-go zone” off the west side of San Juan Island to help protect the endangered Southern Resident killer whales.
After local whale-watch companies, kayakers and others voiced substantial, even heated, oppo-sition to that “no-go” plan, the Fisheries Service, part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, abandoned it in 2011 in favor of speed limits, increased buffers and public educa-tion efforts.
On Dec. 5, the Fisheries Service put the issue back on the table.
“In the final rule, we decided to gather addi-tional information and conduct further analy-sis and public outreach on the concept,” said Lynne Barre, branch chief of the Fisheries Service Protected Resources Division, in a recent letter to
the San Juan County Council.At a meeting of the Marine Resources
Committee in Friday Harbor, Barre said that the Fisheries Service budget includes money for pub-lic outreach that needs to be used before March of next year. She suggested that NOAA wants to sponsor a conference to discuss the “no-go zone” and some of the “70 different suggestions” various people and groups have made for further protecting the whales, listed as endangered under federal law since 2005.
“This would be a conversation, not a workshop for setting policy,” Barre said.
MRC Chairman John Aschoff and several committee members support such a meeting, as did San Juan County councilwoman Lovel Pratt. Councilman Rich Peterson, though not opposed to the meeting, suggested any decision be deferred until new council members Bob Jarman and Marc Forlenza joined the council next year. Pratt, Peterson and Councilman Howie Rosenfeld all were in attendance at the Dec. 5 MRC meeting.
Peterson also distributed copies of a resolu-tion passed without dissent by the county coun-cil Dec. 4 that states: “The County’s position regarding the “No-Go Zone” as pro-
posed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric (Administration) will be that position articulated by the San Juan County Council and not that of any of its subcommittees or advisory groups.”
As proposed by Fisheries three years ago, the half-mile no-go zone would extend along the west side of San Juan Island, from Mitchell Bay in the north to Eagle Point in the south, and be in effect from the beginning of May through the end of September. It would apply to all types of vessels, including kayaks. It was offered up as part of the recovery plan that the federal agency was tasked with developing to help protect and to restore the population of Southern residents.
Several audience members expressed oppo-sition to the no-go zone idea and to the pro-posed conference. Bill Wright, co-owner of whale watching company San Juan Safaris, said “NMFS should stop pushing no-go zones and instead work on salmon recovery and enforcing the cur-rent rules wherever whales are foraging.”
Wright later said he wants to remind the NOAA Fisheries Service that “the county coun-cil, the town council, the visitors bureau and the chamber of commerce all told them to take the ‘no-go zone’ issue off the table.”

The pipe is done, but the street needs work.
The new water main is finished and func-tioning under Spring Street between Second and First streets, Friday Harbor Public Works Director Wayne Haefele reported recently.
The Town replaced the old water main this fall after the line broke on Labor Day weekend, sending torrents of water down the street to strained catch-basins.
Contractor Richard Lawson Construction com-menced repaving Spring Street within a few days, but a malfunctioning slat con-veyor used to make asphalt rendered the top coat "unac-ceptable," according to Haefele. So the contractor agreed to grind off the top layer of asphalt and repave next year when ground tem-peratures have risen.
Town officials were happy with the repairs to the water line itself and intend to replace the remaining two sections of 60-year-old duc-tile iron pipe in 2013. The last of the old pipe, on Spring from Argyle to Second and from First to Front, will be replaced in spring, perhaps in conjunction with the repaving, before the tourist influx begins in May.

the opportunity to obtain a marriage license on Thursday, the first day they were available at the San Juan County auditor’s office. They were the fourth couple of the same gender to plop down the $60 fee and then leave the courthouse with a license to wed in hand.
The two intend to marry as soon as possible. In fact, after the 3-day mandatory waiting period elapses, Hall and Herrman will exchange vows in San Juan County Superior Court, on Monday, with Judge Don Eaton offi-ciating.
Hermann, 59, said he firmly believed at one time that he would never live to see the day. “Not ever, never in our lifetimes,” he
said. Still, he noted cultural attitudes have shifted dra-matically and in a positive direction toward gay people and their relationships in particular over the last few decades.
“It’s really a non-issue with most of the people we know anymore,” he said.
Although it left devasta-tion in its wake, Hall points to the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s and ‘90s as a milestone that helped to humanize gay people in the eyes of many and to also stir empathy and understanding among the larger population. People are more inclined now to focus more on similarities than differences, he said.
“When they’re able to put a face to it,” he said, “then it becomes a part of regular society, rather than some-thing secret, or something dark.”
four more than the previous year. They braved the cold, wind, hail and some sleet to compete in this year’s derby, sponsored once again by Puget Sound Anglers Friday Harbor Chapter. Proceeds generated by the derby help to fund PSA salmon restoration and enhancement projects.
The event was covered live by both ESPN Radio’s,
“The Outdoor Line,” as well as by Fox Sports Northwest’s “Hawquest”. Participation was up for this year’s events, but winning weights were down. Norling’s first place fish was nearly six pounds lighter than last year’s winner, and about four-and-a-half pounds shy of the weight of his second-place fish a year ago.
— Editor’s note: Full derby results were not available at the time of the Journal Monday press deadline. Visit www.sanjuanjo-urnal for complete results.

“In addition, we’ll be doing on-site physical assessments on one-sixth of county properties every year,” Zalmanek said.
The percentage drop in assessed values averages 18 percent on most of San Juan Island, but Friday Harbor properties saw a 21 percent drop. Because Lopez Island was recently assessed, the average reduction for most of that island was only 9 percent. Shaw Island assessments
decreased by almost 22 percent.Property assessments for 2013 began arriving last week in
the mail. The downward trend of assessments doesn’t mean your property tax bill will be reduced, however.
Under state law, the property tax levy rates are adjusted to produce a certain amount of revenue: if the assessed valua-tion goes down, the rate goes up to raise the same amount of money as in the previous year, plus a maximum of one percent as provided by state law. The converse is also true: if the assessed valuation rises, the rate (expressed as a “mil” - so many cents per thousand dollars of valuation) should go down, but the amount of property tax will usually remain the same, absent tax increases or reductions provided by law.
In fact, some properties may actually see their tax bills rise in 2013 because of technical differences between countywide tax levies and local taxing districts covering only parts of counties. In addition, tax bills on Lopez Island will rise because Lopezians voted in favor of a property tax levy to fund opera-tions of the new Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District.
Do lower assessments mean that home prices will also go down? “No,” said Gary Franklin, managing partner at Windermere Real Estate in Friday Harbor.
The terms appraised value and assessed value are fre-quently used interchangeably by home buyers and sellers but the differences make for an apples and oranges type of comparison, Franklin said.
“Tax assessments have only a small effect on the market value of a home,” he said, noting that the real driver of home
sales prices are current market conditions, which are rela-tively stable right now. Franklin expects local market prices won’t see significant increases for 12 to 18 months.
The same holds true for refinancing, according to Tony Fyrqvist of Islanders Bank, Friday Harbor branch.
“We’re getting lots of refinancing applications because of low interest rates,” Fyrqvist said. But lenders base loan amounts not on tax assessments, he explains, but on appraisal reports by certified appraisers, who look at “com-parable sales” supported by “thorough on-site inspections and sometimes income potential for rental properties.”
Zalmanek said assessed values would be adjusted after Dec. 31 to take into account end-of-year information, after which individual tax bills would be calculated and sent to island property owners early next year.
So what will be the dollar effect on property tax bills? Apparently not much.
Zalmanek points out with some pride that “San Juan County has absolutely the lowest combined levy rate in the state - and second place is not even close.” San Juan County’s combined levy rate is 5.35 percent. Second place is Kittitas County, at 7.76 percent. The average for all counties in the state, accord-ing to the Department of Revenue, is 11.14 percent.
Zalmanek also invites property owners to explore their assessments (and their neighbors’ assessments) using the county’s new on-line property search system. To search for property tax information, go to sanjuanco.com/assessor/parcelSearch.aspx.

Three islanders are challenging the legal-ity of voter-approved changes to the county charter, as well as state law, in a lawsuit filed last week in a Skagit County courtroom.
Filed Dec. 4 by Friday Harbor attorney Stephanie O’Day, on behalf of Jeffrey Bossler of Orcas Island, San Juan’s Michael Carlson and Jerrold Gonce of Lopez, the lawsuit contends, among other allegations, that because the three legislative districts created by Proposition 1 are “grossly unequal” in population that voters and county council candidates residing in those districts will be treated unequally if countywide coun-cil elections, also ushered in by Prop. 1, become the norm.
“The grossly unequal district sizes estab-lished by Proposition 1 result in disparate and unequal treatment of San Juan County voters,” the lawsuit asserts. “The change in county government caused by this measure results in differential treatment of citizens within each district of the county.”
For example, the lawsuit notes that the odds of being elected to the county council for anyone residing in the Lopez/Shaw dis-trict, with a population of 2,753, are three times greater than they are for anyone who resides in the district that compromises San Juan Island and its outer islands, with a population of 7,662. In addition, the suit contends that the combination of unequally
sized districts and countywide elections vio-lates a citizen’s constitutional right to equal representation by “diluting” the number of votes cast for a council candidate running from their respective districts.
Though unequal is size, Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord counters that the legislative districts established by Prop. 1, or re-established, are authorized by state law under an exception and a statue tailored in Olympia primarily for San Juan County that dates back to 1982. The districts mir-ror those that were in place before voters approved the Home Rule charter in 2005, which carved those three districts into six to accommodate a 6-person council, he adds.
Moreover, Gaylord points to a state attor-ney general opinion, issued in the early 1990s, that backs that state statute which allows for legislative districts of unequal populations in a county made up entirely of islands and with a population of under 35,000.
“An attorney general opinion carries a great deal of weight in the legal realm,” he said. “One of the prime arguments in the case is that they’re trying to invalidate a state statute that’s been in effect for more than 30 years.”
He added that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on a number of occasions that countywide, or “at-large” elections, are con-sistent with the constitutional guarantee of “one-person, one-vote”.
Backed by the Charter Review Commission and approved by voters Nov. 6, propositions 1, 2 and 3 took effect fol-lowing certification on Nov. 27 of local election results. In addition to seeking to have each proposition declared invalid and overturned, the lawsuit asks for a tempo-rary injunction that would put on hold any
proposition-related changes or proceedings, such as the upcoming 3-day filing period – Dec. 12-14 – for county council candidates.
Along with changes brought by Prop. 1, which replaces the 6-person council with three full-time legislators, Prop. 2 handed author-ity of day-to-day county operations to the council, and replaced the position of county administrator with a county manager whose duties will be determined by the 3-person council. Prop. 3 ensures that all council meetings are publicized and open to the public, except for those meeting criteria of a “closed session”.
The lawsuit also main-tains, among its seven alle-gations, or “causes of action”, that each of the three char-ter amendments ran afoul of state law because all three addressed more than a single topic. It also contends that Proposition 1 violates state law because three entirely new council members could take office at the same time, and because not all those positions are slated for a full 4-year term.
Gaylord doubts those claims will carry enough weight for any of the propo-sitions to be overturned.
“The charter review com-mission was charged with looking at big topics and
with smaller ones, and they were very care-ful in how they went about it,” he said. “That’s why there were three amendments, not just one, that people voted on.”
Legal challenge launched against charter changes‘Grossly unequal’ district sizes results in unequal representation, suit claims
County 2013 budget: $52M
The county council adopted a $52,185,285 bud-get at its Dec. 4 meeting on Lopez Island. The budget ordinance, which by law must be, and is, balanced, passed unanimously.
This year’s budget totaled $51.66 million, about $500,000 or 1 percent less than the 2013 budget.
The budget is divided in two parts, a “General Fund,” which is roughly equiva-lent to the state operating budget, and the “Special Revenue and Proprietary Funds.”
Major expenditures of the general fund are $2.6 million for the Sheriff, $1.8 million for health and com-munity services, $1.4 mil-lion for community devel-opment and planning, and $1.16 million for general administration. General Fund expenditures total just under $18 million.
Special revenue and pro-prietary funds expenditures total just under $34.1 mil-lion. These expenditures include $11.6 million for county road construction and maintenance, $4.4 million for equipment, $3
million for bond redemp-tion, $1.8 million for coun-ty parks, and $1.6 million for capital improvements, which includes mainte-
nance and improvement of county buildings. This fund also includes $1.9 million for the Conservation Area Fund, which is primarily
funds generated by a 1 per-cent Real Estate Excise Tax for the Land Bank.

Can use of ‘killer’, orca is the name
In the Journal for Wednesday, Dec. 5, page 3, there appears an article regarding the de-listing of “killer whales.”
I wish to strongly denounce the term “killer” and its use to describe these wonderful animals. Am I a “killer human” because I eat beef, chicken and fish?
These creatures have a perfectly valid name. They are orca whales and should be referred to as such.

For the Recordn The Journal erred by failing to note its policy on identifying affiliations of guest
columnists — generally done at the end of such a column — in an editor’s note at the conclusion of a letter, “Useful information revealed”, pg. 6, Dec. 5. Failure to do so may have left an impression, as it did with the writer of the aforementioned letter, that two recent guest columnists neglected to identify their group affiliation, and that the Journal took it upon itself to do so. Such an impression, in either case, would be false, inaccurate and unfair. We regret the error.

‘Tis the season to shop on island
Before you brave the mainland for your lengthy Christmas shopping list, we want you to take a moment to think about
where your dollars are going. Or rather, where they are not going.
The best way to keep our islands thriving is to support local businesses. Studies show that two-thirds of every dollar spent locally stays in your community. Plus, island stores have really cool, unique merchandise that you’ll never find at a major retailer or big box store.
Gift certificates are also a fun option. Everyone gets their hair cut. Many you know a few people who would love receiving a therapeutic massage.
How about a membership to a health club or other fitness studio? An oil change, perhaps? Dinner out at a restaurant or coffee from a local cafe? One week’s worth of cleaning services? Or maybe even a subscription to a weekly, local newspaper?
On the next two Saturdays, or at least one of them, give yourself a shopping present: skip the crowded ferries and the mainland mall mash and shop Friday Harbor.
On Dec. 15, before the Lighted Boat Parade, or on Dec. 22 before the Christmas TV specials, take your time to find the right book or the right fishing reel or toy at a local store.
And don’t forget about the excellent art, fine jewelry and fibercrafts created right here by island artists, and available right outside your doorstep — with no charge for shipping.
We understand there are some big ticket items that simply cannot be found here. But for every-thing else — and there is a lot — look for what you need right here.
It is one of the greatest gifts you can give to the place you call home — and your neighbor, Yule Shoppe.

PUBLIC MEETINGS
By Gary Franklin
The terms appraised value and assessed value are fre-quently used interchangeably by home buyers and sellers, but the differences make for an apples and
oranges type of comparison.Appraisal: An appraisal value represents the fair market
value of a house based on comparable sales, condition and location of the property, size and number of rooms and type of construction. Appraisals are generally done in connec-tion with mortgage financing and the number used is a base to determine how much money to lend.
Banks and mortgage lenders don't want to loan out more than a property is worth. An appraiser looks inside the home and takes into account many interior (and exterior) improvements.
Assessment: An assessment, on the other hand, is the value of a house as determined by appraisers that work for the county tax assessor, using recent sales of comparable properties.
This type of appraisal is sometimes referred to as an “ad valorem” appraisal, and it is used to establish a value for calculating fair and equitable taxes between and among all properties in the county.
Ideally, the assessed value (for taxes) and the appraised value (for the mortgage loan) should be very close if the date of the appraisals are the same or close. Also, the asses-sor’ appraiser only goes inside the home if invited by the property owner, so recent improvements are sometimes not factored into the assessed value, especially if there was no permit issued for the improvements.
For the first time, this year, approximately 5/6ths of the assessments were done using a statistical analysis of sales in a general neighborhood to adjust the previous assessed values. Only the northern half of Lopez Island, along with Shaw, Decatur, Blakely and Center islands were physically inspected and appraised by the assessor’s appraisal staff.
Then a statistical valuation was used for all other proper-ties in the county. Now that the county is adjusting values on an annual basis, the assessments should be more in tune with actual market values, but you should keep in mind the assessment date is the first of the year, so the assess-
ment only reflects the mar-ket value on that date.
It should be noted, how-ever, that a statistical adjust-ment to existing assessed value does not recognize changes to a property, such as deferred or exceptional maintenance, changes in view attributes over time, and to new construction that was accomplished without a building permit.
You can find a breakdown of our property taxes at, San
Juan County Property Taxes, which are the lowest in the state.
Market Value: This is the other method used to value properties.
When an appraiser does her work for a lender, she will consider the recent sales of comparable properties. When a seller wants to sell or a buyer wants to buy, they should ask a professional realtor to develop a Comparative Market Analysis, or CMA. These calculations will compare proper-ties that have actually sold in the marketplace.
This is probably the best valuation for an idea of what a property is worth in the local marketplace at a given point in time. For a short article highlighting the difference in these terms, visit, click here.
We have seen a doubling of the number of homes sold on San Juan Island in 2012 versus 2011, from 52 to 113 (Jan.- Dec. 4). The mean price (half sold above this price and half sold below this price) has risen from $451,000, in 2011, to $453,000, in 2012. So this past year, we've seen 57 sales priced below $453,000 and the same number sold above.
We didn't just see closing on foreclosures and short sales, but also on reasonably priced homes, in all price categories. If you would like specific numbers in the different price brackets, please let me know.
We feel that this is a "rocky bottom" in our market and we don't anticipate any large downward fluctuations in our market over the next year. Indeed, with falling inventory and more sales pending, we are hopeful to begin the new year with guarded optimism.
Happy Holidays — may you and your family attract health, wealth and happiness.

The Bill of Rights became law when a number of the original 13 states refused to sign the United States Constitution without the inclusion of language to protect individuals from a despotic central govern-ment. In response, the first 10 amendments to the United States Constitution, subsequently referred to as the Bill of Rights, were rati-fied on Dec. 15, 1791.
The Bill of Rights serves to define and limit the pow-ers of government, to state to all members of the gov-ernment that they serve the citizens and that the citizens reserve the right to restrain government.
The Bill of Rights guaran-tees that rights not explicitly granted to the government,
are reserved to us as indi-viduals. The Bill of Rights protects our freedoms of speech, of the press, of assembly, of religion, to petition the government; to keep and bear arms; pro-tects us from unreason-able arrests, searches and seizures, coerced confes-sions, cruel and unusual punishment, excessive bail; and secures our rights to probable cause, due pro-cess, counsel, jury trials and defense witnesses.
We write in praise and celebration of Bill of Rights Day because the Bill of Rights is central to the promises, opportunities, and tensions between “We the People” and our govern-ment.
We also write to deplore the extensive violations of the Bill of Rights by the administration of former President George W. Bush that remain unpunished
and unrepaired. Perhaps we thought that
the abuses were an aberra-tion. Maybe we were reas-sured when then Presidential candidate Barak Obama stated on March 2007, “I was a constitutional law profes-sor, which means unlike the current president I actually respect the Constitution.”
Sadly, the Obama admin-istration both continues and extends the abuses to the Bill of Rights.
We urge all citizens to participate in the opposi-tion to the violations of the Bill of Rights that are increasingly enshrined in unconstitutional laws and/or unconstitutional prac-tices. Imagine this nation without the Bill of Rights.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE
Dana died doing what he loved the most, skiing a black diamond mogul run after a fresh snow fall of 36 inches on a gloriously sunny day in Sun Valley, Idaho.
One of his last phone calls, of course from the ski hill, was “It’s just perfect, just perfect.” Dana had an enlarged heart which led to a heart attack on the Christmas Lift Chair on Mount Baldy. He was skiing alone, knowing how sweet it was to catch the last run of the day. The quiet. The joy. The connection he felt to the God that Dana knew.
Dana grew up in Tacoma, Wash., on Wapato Lake, with four siblings and parents who raised him to believe in himself and encouraged his independent spirit, which later led to Dana’s successful career as a real estate entre-preneur. Dana graduated with a degree in civil engineering
from the University of Washington, and in 1995 started DBM Consulting Engineers.
Dana’s visionary sight and focus brought him remarkable success with real estate investment. From 1999 to 2003 Dana devel-oped Landis Point and Hazel Gardens apart-ment projects, as well as the 2003 Street of Dreams.
From 2004 to 2007 Dana parlayed his previous successes into Riversand, a 40-acre residential development project in Auburn, Wash. This project exemplifies one of Dana’s strongest attributes, which was to convert a property with entitlement difficulties into a developable piece of land.
In 2005, Dana refitted his dream boat, The Christina, a 120-foot yacht; he was looking forward to exploring the blue-sky waters of the Caribbean. In 2007,
Dana realized his dreams in purchasing Lynyard Cay, a 77-acre island in the Bahamas, where he planned a multi-use luxury community.
Dana loved hiking the Sawtooth Mountains in North Central Idaho and walking the downed, yellowed maple leaves in October. He loved crabbing off of Sunset Point and piloting his boat through all weather in the San Juan Islands.Dana loved golf, skiing, and most especially the miracle of flight — to look upon the world from his cockpit 3,000 feet up, and to watch the earth fall away and the heavens open. Dana lived with passion and dignity and invention. His soul ran deep. Dana left this world with no fear.
Dana leaves behind his mother, Lois Mower, and his sib-lings, Larry Mower, Greg Mower, Linda Turner, and Scott Mower. And Dana leaves behind Christine Leiren Mower, the love of his life for 37 years.
A memorial was held at Neighborhood Church, 2802 Bridgeport Way W, University Place, WA 98466, on Dec. 11, at 1 p.m. Please send any donations to the American Heart Association in memory of Dana Bruce Mower.

Healthy infants and toddlers need flu shots as well.
San Juan County Health Department reports only 23 percent of the youngest and most vulnerable residents in our county have immunizations that are up to date. This group of young people do not have fully developed immune systems.
While some of the diseases that immu-nizations protect against have been eradi-cated, many are still present in our very mobile communities. Polio was eradicated from the Western hemisphere but still is epidemic in Afghanistan. Our troops could easily re-introduce polio into our commu-nities and, because of our low immuniza-tion rates, provide a foothold to bring back polio.
Measles and pertussis are good exam-ples of vaccine-preventable diseases that have resurged due to low immunization rates.
Vaccine work by preventing diseases before a child is exposed, thus decreasing their chances of needing to be hospitalized, dying, overuse of antibiotics or antivirals, or passing their illness on to others, like the elderly or people with chronic illnesses.
Vaccines help build immunity by imitat-ing an infection, but this “imitation” infec-tion does not cause illness. It does, however, cause the immune system to develop the same response as it does to a real infection so that the body can recognize and fight the vaccine-preventable disease in the future.
Sometime after getting a vaccine, an imi-tation infection can cause minor symptoms, such as a fever. Such minor symptoms are normal and should be expected as the body builds immunity. Vaccines are safe and effective.
Review your child’s immunizations with a health care provider to understand the benefits and risks of the immunization your child might be missing. Immunizations can save your family time and money due to prolonged illnesses from the complica-tions, like pneumonia, and time away from work.
Young children rely on the “champi-ons” in their lives to keep them safe and healthy. These champions may be parents checking in with their healthcare provider about whether their child is up to date on immunizations.
All families want to do what is best for their children. We protect them by wear-ing seat belts and using car seats. Another important way to protect our children is to immunize them completely and on time. Influenza and other children’s vaccines are available at all healthcare provider offices in San Juan County.
For more information, contact your healthcare provider, or San Juan County Health Department, 378-4474.
Flu shots: good idea for allGuest Column

Hospice of San Juan is sponsoring a Grief Support Group for anyone who has lost a family member or a friend.
The group will meet each Tuesday, begin-ning Jan. 15, from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., with eight weekly meetings, concluding March 5. Meetings will be facilitated by Friday Harbor counselor Lenore Bayuk.
Participants will be offered a time to talk and to share common experiences, ask questions and participate in discussions. Hospice will also provide information and tools designed for dealing with the process
of grief, as well as with other topics of inter-est to participants.
Meetings of the support group are offered free of charge, thanks to a grant from San Juan Island Community Foundation, in partnership with PeaceHealth and other partners.
To sign up, contact Bayuk at (360) 378-3636, ext. 1. For information, con-tact Hospice Grief Support coordinators Madelyn Busse, [email protected], or Margaret Langlie, [email protected].

“The Gourmet Archipelago” is Lonely Planet’s new moniker for the San Juan Islands.
The publisher of more than 500 travel guides and home to a travel website that gets 12 million hits per month has ranked the San Juans “Number 3” in its Top 10 U.S. Destinations for 2013.
“We’re thrilled,” said Barbara Merritt of the Visitors Bureau. And that was before MSNBC featured the list and the
San Juans on it’s Saturday lineup.
Louisville, Kentucky, and Fairbanks, Alaska, took the first two places on the list. Our archipelago was fol-lowed by Philadelphia and American Samoa.
Lonely Planet’s list drew on a recent website article by Brendan Sainsbury, calling the San Juan Islands “The Gourmet Archipelago” — a descrip-tive title that appar-ently includes Lummi Island, home to the New
York Times-mentioned Willows Inn, and an unnamed restaurant that features “local-caught razor clams”.
But quibbling aside, mention of The Bay Cafe on Lopez and Doe Bay Cafe on Orcas, and the lavender farm and the alpaca ranch on San Juan Island, can’t help but enhance the popu-larity and growing reputa-tion of the San Juans corner of paradise.
And not a mention of orcas or coal ships.

San Juan Island School District has been named one of five “STEM Lighthouse Districts” by Washington state, fol-lowing a statewide competition.
The Lighthouse designation acknowledges districts that have developed the state’s best STEM programs.
Short for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, the term STEM was originally used by immi-gration officers in fast-tracking qualified foreign applicants for entry into the American workplace. It has now become a focus for educators, elected officials, industrialists, profes-sional associations and unions intent on bringing the skills and knowledge of high school graduates in-line with high paying technical jobs in the modern workplace.
School district board member Jack McKenna authored the district’s STEM resolution.
“While we have been recognized as one of the top districts in the nation, the fact is that even the best American schools continue to prepare graduates for yesterday,” McKenna said. “Through the further development and implementation of STEM curriculum on San Juan Island we can begin to carefully move our teaching and learning in the right direc-tion.”
As recipient of the state’s STEM Lighthouse designation, the district will function as a resource and as an example of best practices in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics instruction for other school districts, espe-cially small districts, for which quality STEM programs are considered especially challenging. STEM teacher and former engineer Larry Wight wrote the district’s successful application.
“Those of us that have been pushing for STEM here have been frustrated at the slow pace when we compare ourselves to larger districts with more resources.” White said. “But now, this award recognizes that among small districts, San Juan Island is actually a leader in STEM innovation and implementation. It is simply harder in a small district to find the necessary resources. I am so grateful that superin-tendent (Rick)Thompson strongly encouraged me to write the proposal. The award affirms that our efforts are on the right track, and the grant will allow us to move forward without having to cut other worthwhile programs.”

With a steady grip on a 5-point lead, the Wolverines headed into the final period with momentum on their side.
But the well went dry. They man-aged only three points over the final eight minutes of play, dropping their home opener to Seattle’s Bear Creek Grizzlies, 57-45, in a double-digit turnaround, Saturday, in Turnbull Gym.
“I think we may have gotten a little tired in the fourth,” Coach Rod Turnbull winced. “The effort was there. We gave ourselves a chance to win, but you can’t turn the ball over against a quality team like that and not expect to have it cost you.”
The Wolverines (1-2) committed 19 turnovers over the course of the non-league contest. The Grizzlies (3-1) had seven.
Friday Harbor led by five at the half, and again by five at the end of the third, 42-37. But the Grizzlies, a 2B Division perennial post-season pow-erhouse, drained four three-pointers and outscored the home team 20-3 down the stretch, sparked by back-to-back three-pointers by junior Luke Blankenbeckler to start the period, to run away with the win.
Junior Jacob Benson scored a game-high 20 points before foul-ing out late in the fourth, and Blankenbeckler and junior Collin Feight each tossed in 11 points for the Grizzlies.
Otis Cooper-West led Friday Harbor with 14 points, Williamson added 13, three of which came on a deep three-pointer at the final buzzer, the Wolverines only points in the fourth.
“They’re a good team with a good track record and they came out fir-ing at the end,” Williamson said of the Seattle-area opponent. “But we weren’t looking inside enough and we just weren’t beating their zone.”
With the loss, Friday Harbor fell under the .500 mark, at 1-2, with a win over regional 1A rival, South Whidbey, and a loss in the season opener to Division 2A Burlington-Edison.
Next:The Wolverines travel to La
Conner High School, Friday, to face Tacoma Baptist, at 5 p.m., and again on Saturday, at 3:30 p.m., against Naselle.

Journal photo / Scott RasmussenCollin Williamson (32) sinks two of his 13 points over the outstretched arm of Bear Creek’s Connor Thomas.
Outgunned by Grizzlies, 43-30A patchwork lineup held its own in the first half, but Wolverines
fell off the pace in the second, as Bear Creek steadily took com-mand to clinch a 43-30 victory, Saturday, in Turnbull Gym.
Playing short-handed in its home opener, Friday Harbor (0-3) scored 12 points in the opening half and limited the 2B Grizzlies to 19 to stay within striking distance at the break.
Junior post-player Tabatha Keane tossed in six and Kendra Meeker added four, combin-ing on 10 of the Wolverines 12 first-half points.
The Grizzles struck with a 12-6 in the third to take a commanding lead, and trad-ed baskets down the stretch to seal the win. Bear Creek’s Kristina Englestone scored 12 of her game-high 19 points after the half, and 6-foot 2-inch freshman center Catherine Fernandez tallied 10 points. Keane tallied a team-high 12 for Friday Harbor.
With the loss, the Wolverines, hampered by early season ineligibility and injuries, fell to 0-3 overall and, following a 44-25 defeat at Orcas, Dec. 7, fell to 0-1 in league.
Next: The Wolverines host Concrete Tuesday (6 p.m.), Dec. 11,
in a Northwest 1A/2B League contest. They face Tacoma Baptist, Friday, and Naselle, Saturday, in back-to-back games at La Conner High School. Friday Harbor is at home to face divisional 1A rival Mount Baker, Dec. 28, tip off is 4:30 p.m.

Marquis Napier (145) and Sam Ibold (182) finished sec-ond in their respective weight categories at the 11-team Iron Sharpens Iron competition, Saturday, hosted by Bellevue Christian. The Wolverines other top finishers include Kaylen Meeker (120), fourth, Benjamin Ware (113) fifth, and Tate Brumsickle (152 and Zander Crichton (132) earned fifth-places as well.
The learning curve will be steep, no doubt about it.
While the Friday Harbor girls bas-ketball team will take the court for the 2012-13 season as defending Northwest 1A/2B League champ, it will be without that trio
of four-year players (Nash, Taylor, Turnbull) who carried the team on their collective back and, after bouncing back from a mid-season slump, strung together six-straight victories en route to claiming the league title, the team’s second championship in three years.
But that was then. Only one senior from the last year’s start-
ing lineup, Jean Melborne, returns to the roster. Still, Head Coach Eric Jangard says there’s no need to hit the panic button. In fact, Jangard, now is his seventh year at the helm, welcomes the chance to instill a new core of players with the fundamentals of what’s proven to be a winning program.
“I think we’ll get better as the season gets going,” he said, “but right now we’re still building on the basics. This is a great group of girls, and our goal mainly is to learn to play the game together. Our expectations have to be realistic.”
Hampered by early season illnesses and ineligibilities, the Wolverines came up short on the offensive end in the first three games of the season, managing no more than 30 points in each. Still, the team is not without experience or proven assets, and expects to be back at full strength and more finely-tuned by mid-December.
In addition to Melborne, a fierce com-petitor and all-league softball pitcher, junior Tabatha Keane, the team’s starting post-player of a year ago, is back to anchor the interior. Speedy junior Emily Guard is expected to inherit the point-guard duties, while Mindy Brandli and Kendra Meeker,
both juniors, will shore up the wings. The addition of 6-foot sophomore Tyla
McKay and 6-foot freshman Allie Galt, as well as 5-foot 10-inch freshman Katie Kincaid, should provide Friday Harbor with an imposing, if not a truly battle-tested, front court. Junior Alaina Scheffer, sopho-more Madden Shanks and freshman Taylor Turnbull will share duty in the backcourt.
Friday Harbor launches into the heart of its 1A regional competition starting Dec. 28, hosting Mount Baker, which joins the
cast of 1A opponents this season, along with the Blaine Borderites, a squad described by Jangard as “phenomenal, equal to Lynden Christian”.
Jangard and company are resisting to the urge to look too far ahead, however.
“What we’ve talked about is getting the little wins, and how those little wins add up to bigger wins,” he said. “We’re just going to play it possession by possession.”

2012-13 wolverinesgirls basketball
Back to the basics Defending league champs reload; new faces, new roles
A sturdy dose of drive and talent never hurts. But in the sport of wrestling, there’s just no substitute for experience.
The Wolverines experience made its presence known as a trio of veterans delivered a series of strong perfor-mances in Friday Harbor’s home-opener, Dec. 7, in Hall Gym.
With La Conner and Tacoma Baptist in the Hall, seniors Tate Brumsickle (152) and Marquis
Napier (145) each pinned their opponent in the first round of their respective opening matches, and junior Sam Ibold (182) needed only the blink of an eye to do the same. In addition to those three, the Wolverines welcome back to the roster veterans Aidan Anderson (160), a junior, and sopho-mores Landon Rishel and Zander Crichton (132).
A total of nine newcomers join six veterans in round-ing out the 2012-13 wrestling team roster. With that, the Wolverines will have one more competitor to throw into the mix than they did a year ago, with a total of 15 athletes on this year’s squad.
The team will rely on its upperclassmen to carry the lead-ership load without the likes of heavyweight Willy Dunn, anchor of the team the past four years, and Michael Davis, both lost to graduation.
The cast of newcomers includes two females competitors, sophomore Ashley Dietz and Kaylen Meeker (120), an all-leaguer in volleyball and softball, and making a debut on the wrestling squad this senior season.
With its home opener now in the rear-view mirror, Friday Harbor hits the road for the next nine of its 13-match regular-season schedule. The team has eight matches in January, of which three of the final four are at home. Post-season competition begins in early February.
The Wolverines are coached by Neil MacDiarmid, now in his sixth year at the helm, and first-year assistant coach David Wolf. They have also benefitted by a bit of early sea-son guidance from both Davis and former Friday Harbor wrestling standout Maverick Blake.
— Scott Rasmussen
Slightly south of the .500 mark is not where the Wolverines expected to
be at the start of the season.
But a little reality check might go a long way for a team that not only returns four-out-of-five starters, but
promises to be bigger, faster and even longer on experi-ence than the one that fin-ished the campaign of a year ago with an 11-3 record in league play, and 16-6 overall.
Oh yeah, the 2011-12 team, which featured Collin Williamson, Otis Cooper-West, Donald Galt and C.J. Woods in the starting rota-tion, all of whom are back in the lineup, also clinched the program’s first home play-off game in nearly a decade along the way.
Williamson and compa-ny will be looking to turn
the ship around in hurry after stumbling against Bear Creek in their home opener, Dec. 8. They managed to put up just three points in the final period.
“There’s a lot of games to go,” Williamson said. “My personal goal is to try to get into the post-season, and in the post-season you just can’t afford to make mis-takes or have an off game.”
With Williamson (6’4”) and Cooper-West (6’5”) anchoring the interior, the Wolverines have strength, size and experience inside, and two “big men” that can step out and drain a three-pointer as well. On the wings, Galt, a senior, and
Woods, a junior, bring fire-power, speed and defensive intensity to the court.
“We’re pretty much the same team as last year,” Cooper-West said. “We’re going to do some of the same things as last year and hopefully we’ll improve on them.”
This season, Friday Harbor’s fate may well rest in the hands of whom-ever steps up to fill the void left behind by Dakota Rosales, a consummate point-guard who a year ago ran the offense and dis-tributed the ball. Second-year players Sergio Trujillo, and juniors Dylan and Levi Demaris, as well as sopho-mores Bill Revercomb and Peter Strasser, are all vying to inherit the spot.
The Wolverines will have two new regional 1A oppo-nents to contend with in
the hunt for a berth in post-season play. In addition to the Whatcom schools, Lynden Christian, Meridian and Nooksack Valley, and Coupeville, a pair of for-mer Division 2A schools, Blaine and Mount Baker, have joined the ranks of the district’s 1A rivals.

2012 bird count, Saturday, Dec. 15
Grab your binoculars and birding book, put on your hiking shoes and head outdoors on Saturday, December 15, to count birds as part of the 2012 Audubon San Juan Islands Christmas
Bird Count. It’s a great chance for a vigorous outdoor day, and it’s especially fun for kids!
The 2011 Bird Count tallied 25,742 birds and 123 species. The num-ber of species counted has been steadily increasing the last ten years, peaking in 2011. Last year’s weather on count day was clear, calm and in the mid-40’s, but local Audubon director Barbara Jensen says the birds don’t grouse about the weather, and neither do birdwatchers.
Highlights of the 2011 count included three boats with observers and good coverage in the southern end of San Juan Channel. Two blue-winged teal and eared grebes were seen on San Juan, one surfbird on Yellow Island, and two townsend’s and yellow-rumped warblers and a lonely Savannah sparrow on San Juan.
2011 was the first year Audubon worked with the National Parks Conservation Association to do the Battlefield Birding Christmas Bird Count in Civil War era national parks and those numbers were part of the count, said Jensen. Misses included cackling geese, redhead, ring-necked pheasant, wild turkey, turkey vulture, golden eagle, western sandpiper, western screech owl, great horned owl, saw-whet Owl and townsend’s solitaire. Can you help the local Audubon Society find these birds?
Record high counts this year were 1,599 canada geese, whose num-bers have been steadily increasing each year, 1,309 northern pintails, 198 white-winged scoters, 103 long-tailed ducks, 57 eurasian-collared dove, 27 Anna’s hummingbirds, 3 black-capped chickadees, 183 pacific wrens, and 167 house sparrows. See if you can beat any of these records.
Audubon bird watchers hope to exceed last year’s low counts of 58 gadwalls, 16 northern shovelers, 80 common loons, a black-bellied plover, 6 killdeers and 22 red crossbills.
For more info and to find count records go to audubon2.org/cbchist/count_table.html”http://audubon2.org/cbchist/count_table.html. The area circle is called WASJ. Choose the span of years to review and a chart is made for species.
To join the count or for more local information, call Barbara Jensen at 378-3068. Many routes need better coverage, so call today to see what the Audubon Society has for you. You don’t have to be an expert, and you get to spend all or part of the day with great people - some of whom can teach you and the kids a lot.

Longtime Lopez songwriter and instrumentalist Stanley Greenthal returns to the Isle Be Jammin’ performance stage Thursday, Dec. 20, at 7 p.m. for an evening of songs, poetry, and music to celebrate the winter solstice. With an exciting ensemble in tow, he will be joined by his wife, Kip Greenthal, and Celtic violinist Jamie Laval, performing spirited instrumentals with traditional and original songs of the season.
Known for stretching musical borders. Greenthal sings and plays guitar, bouzouki, laouto and lavta (Greek and Turkish lutes), and has enticed his wife, Kip, to add har-mony vocals and percussion. In addition, Laval’s fiery violin playing will enliven Scottish pipe marches, Breton round dances, and Cretan syrtos to celebrate the longest night of the year.
Laval is one of the premier Celtic violinists on the inter-national music scene today. He is heralded as “One of North America’s finest practitioners of traditional Scottish music”
(San Jose Mercury News) and “The next Alasdair Fraser” (Scotland Press and Post).
Tickets are $12 and may be purchased at Isle Be Jammin’, 310-B Spring Street, Friday Harbor, or by phone: (360) 378-5151.

Readers Theatre brings Dickens’ ‘Scrooge’ to stage
One night. Three haunt-ing spirits, and a miserly miser transformed.
Charles Dickens’ classic tale about the transforma-tive powers of Christmas, “A Christmas Carol”, comes to live in the next edition of San Juan Community Theatre’s Readers series: On Book!, with back-to-back performances, Friday, Dec. 21, and Saturday, Dec. 22.
Adapted by Charles Ludlam and directed by John E. Davis, the story, read and performed by island actors, features the classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, the origi-nal Grinch, who is haunted by the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future.
Admission is free. Performances begin at
7:30 p.m. in the Whittier Theatre; doors open at 7 p.m. For more info, 378-3210, or www.sjctheatre.org.
Roller skate ‘Give-A-Way’ at Island Rec
Discounts don’t get any deeper than this.
The recently formed Island Rec support group, Family and Neighbors Support, or FANS, will be giving away dozens of pairs of roller skates for free, Saturday, Dec. 15.
The ‘Give-a-Way’ is at the Island Rec office, 580 Guard Street, beginning at 10 a.m., and skate sizes range from kids to adult, and are in good working condition. Skates will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. Doors open early, at
9:30 a.m., for FAN Club members.
Established this spring, Fans has adopted a mission of enhancing park and rec-reation programs and facili-ties for residents of San Juan Island by promoting good-will, and by broadening the funding base of San Juan Island Park and Recreation District, or Island Rec. One of the many pro-grams sponsored by Island Rec is Family Skate Night, Saturdays, 7-8:30 p.m., at the fairgrounds main exhib-it hall. For info, 378-4953, or www.islandrec.org.
Santa’s elves make most of peddle power
Santa and his elves have collected an assortment of previously peddled bicycles, fixed them up and have made them available for kids who might need one.
If you or someone you know has a safe and respon-sible home for a new-old bike in mind, and knows of someone who could really use one, here’s what to do:
Write a letter to Santa tell-ing him why you or some-one you know should be the proud owner of one of these bicycles. Include the prospective recipient’s age, contact information and other details.
There are no strings attached. It is, after all, the holiday season, the season of giving. For info, details, pictures and updates, go to “Santa’s Cycles”, on Facebook.
Letters should be sent to Santa by Dec. 15, at: Santa’s Cycles, P.O. Box 457, Friday Harbor, WA, 98250; or email: [email protected].
23rd annual ‘Kids Fest’ could use your help
Planning is already under way for the 23rd San Juan Island Children’s Festival, scheduled for May 4. Committee members are needed to help with plan-
ning, organizing and coor-dination of the festival.
The only prerequisite to participate on the festival committee is a willingness and time to work as a team, and a commitment to cre-ating a fun-filled festival dedicated to celebrating children. No special skills are necessary.
With exception of festival day itself, committee mem-bers typically volunteer about 6-8 hours per month, beginning in January.
An annual event, the Children’s Festival cele-brates children by providing creative, inter-active, edu-cational, entertaining and playful activities.
For info about the festi-val or how to help, contact Island Rec Director Sally Thomsen, 378-4953, or visit, [email protected].
Santa Ship sets sail, Saturday
No ship arrives to the busiest port-of-call on San Juan with as much anticipa-tion as the beloved Santa Ship.
Preceded by Friday Harbor Sailing Club’s Lighted Boat Parade, at 4:45 p.m., the Santa Ship makes it 52nd sojourn to Friday
Harbor, Saturday, arriving at Spring Street Landing at about 5:45 p.m. Following
a rock star-like welcome, Santa will climb aboard a take a tour of the town, escorted by Friday Harbor’s finest — deputies and fire-fighters — with stops at Life Care Center and Friday Harbor Middle School, where youngsters can whis-per their most heart-felt holiday wish to Santa.
The Leo Club will have gifts and treats. Info, 298-1256.
