Lopez oil leak hazard

Agricultural Summit 2016 End of marine grant

By Anna V. SmithJournal reporter

Concern over a property with contaminated soil has prompted residents to wonder if their water is safe.

In response, a letter from the Fisherman Bay Water Association released Feb. 1 stated their wells are being tested for benzene, a known carcinogen, and have test-ed negative.

Steve Cade, water quality man-ager of the association, said that public water systems are routinely checked for herbicides, pesticides, bacteria, lead, copper, radium and benzene. Customers had contact-ed the association with concerns because of ground contamination at the old Lopez Village Market from leaking fuel tanks which has still not been resolved since the tanks were removed six years ago.

The building was the home of Lopez Village Market for years, before becoming Island Body and Fitness and is now Paper, Scissors on the Rock. The property sits in the heart of Lopez Village.

The owners of the property began the process of removing the tanks in 2010 and signed up for Department of Ecology’s Voluntary Clean-Up Program in 2011, leaving the program in 2012 without finishing the clean-up, with some areas containing 633 times above the maximum approved amount of benzene and 43 times above the allowable level of total petroleum hydrocarbons in the soil, according to docu-ments from the Department of

Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation has discontinued its marine mammal rehabilitation program for 2016 due to the loss of a federal grant.

The program, which cares for stranded or injured harbor seal pups, has been a part of Wolf Hollow for the last 30 years.

“It’s hard to think that we’ll have to turn them away this year,” said Wolf Hollow Executive Director Julie Duke. “That’s the hardest thing, especially for the staff that’s been caring for them for so long. Hopefully there won’t be a lot of pups that need care this year.”

The John H. Prescott Marine Mammal Rescue Assistance Grant Program from National Oceanic Atmospheric Association is meant specifically for marine mammal rehab and stranding networks, and comes with “stringent regula-tions and standards” that are “time

Educational event for farmers, foodies and community membersBy Courtney OldwynJournal reporter

The 2016 Agricultural Summit is this Friday and Saturday on San Juan Island. This informative event will bring together 200 regional farmers, chefs, advo-cates, and community members for two days of agri-culture based education at different locations around Friday Harbor.

“This is the only annual educational event that is entirely focused on agriculture in San Juan County and that brings together farmers from throughout the county, giving them a chance to network, learn new ideas, and share information,” said Peggy Bill, San Juan County Agricultural Resources Coordinator. “We hope to inspire, educate, and collaborate so we can work together to strengthen and grow our local food network.”

Local farmer Bruce Gregory, who co-owns and operates Mitchell Bay Farm along with his wife Colleen Howe is also looking forward to the summit. “It’s a chance for not only local folks who are farm-ing, but consumers of local foods to learn about some

exciting things happening in the agricultural world,” said Gregory. “The new science coming out has a profound effect on how we can and should manage our ag lands to be a part of the big picture of solutions to many of the world’s problems.”

Not just an event for career farmers, the Agricultural Summit is open to all community members county wide. Part of the summit’s vision is to bring together local foodies, restauranteurs, advocates and others in the food industry.

“We all need to work together,” said Bill. “The Agriculture Summit has just done such an

amazing job this year. It’s really important that we support any scale agriculture and to inspire people to learn and grow. No community can survive without food growth and the San Juans have always put out huge amounts of food. There’s a sort of (farming) resurgence that’s happening and we need to support that,” said Lori Ann David, owner of San Juan Island’s Aurora Farms and a participant in the Taste of the San Juans. David will be serving her farm’s signature

A man found living in the woods is suspected of a rash of burglaries on San Juan Island. While the alleged crime spree is reminiscent of the Barefoot Bandit, there could be a more sinister element.

Chase Eric Stoddard, 21, of Olympia, Wash., has been charged with crimes that allegedly occurred between the dates of Sept. 1 2015 and Jan. 22, 2016. Stoddard is facing four counts of residential burglary and three counts of theft in the third degree. Stoddard also has an active war-rant out for rape of a child in the first degree in Thurston County.

On Jan. 10, the sheriffs office investigated a report of burglary and theft of a home, where it is believed that Stoddard entered through an unlocked window. According to the officer’s report, a person other than the homeowner was in the house for some time cooking meals, watching TV and stole money.

Five days later, the sheriff ’s office investigated another burglarized residence in walking dis-tance from the home mentioned above. The deputy reported that a person broke into the res-idence, a trailer, and stole several items. Another nearby owner reported a break-in of his Yurt. It was reported that a strange message was left in the Yurt guest book signed by “Chase.”

The deputy also found what appeared to be an

abandoned cabin in the area that appeared to be occupied by a person. The homeowners could not be located at that time.

Further investigation by the sheriff ’s office revealed that Stoddard had posted on his Facebook that he was living in a cabin and posted pictures that could potentially link him to the area of the burglary.

On Jan. 22, two deputies located Stoddard inside the cabin. According to the deputy’s report Stoddard admitted to three of the burglaries and that he did not have permission to stay at the cabin. Numerous items from the burglaries were found in the cabin by deputies.

Bail is set at $10,000. An arraignment is sched-uled for Feb. 5.

Man found in woods faces burglary and theft charges

Submitted by the Town of Friday Harbor On Feb. 4, the Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 1590 amending the municipal code regard-

ing business licensing. Town staff will implement the changes beginning in March.

All businesses operat-ing within the Town limits,

unless the business qualifies as exempt from the pro-gram, are required to obtain a license regardless of the type or duration of its activ-ities.

The Town recognizes a need for flexibility under the current program, espe-cially in recent years, for participation in temporary activities such as artisan fairs, farmer’s markets, pro-motional events, itinerant vending and other special-ty contracting or services which are intended to occur less than 30 days per licens-ing year.

“Allowing temporary licensing will encourage

greater participation in events at the Brickworks and other venues, by sea-sonal vendors, and provides flexibility for specialty con-tractors that may not have their business physically located in Town,” said Town Administrator Duncan Wilson.

Ordinance No. 1590 will allow any person engaged in business within the Town to obtain a business license valid for a period of 30 days.

All regulations of the current business license program will apply to both annual and temporary licenses. The fee for a tem-porary business license will

be $15. For more info regarding

the current business license program contact the Town at (378-2810.

Oscar nominated film “Polyfaces: A World of Many Choices” will be shown Thursday evening at the Grange as a pre-cursor to the start of the summit on Friday. “This is really special. It’s only ever been shown in a few other cities,” said David who is also the lecture chair at the San Juan Island Grange Hall.

The film was made by Australians Darren Doherty and Lisa Heenan who spent their life savings to move their family to America to create this movie about visionary farmer Joel Salatin’s Polyface Farm.

Throughout Friday after-noon multiple hands on workshops led by regional and national experts are being held throughout Friday Harbor. “Bread Baking with Local Grains” by Jonathon Bethony McDowell, resident baker at the UW’s Breadlab and “Curing and Charcuterie for home producers, chefs and fine cooks” with Farmstead Meatsmith are two of the favorites. There will also be workshops on orchard management, how to create your own farm plan, value added foods, ruminants and a young farmer’s round table.

One of the summit’s highlights are it’s nationally acclaimed keynote speakers, Dr. Courtney White and Severine von Tscharner-

Flemming. White will give a pre-

sentation entitled “Grass, Soil, Hope: Regenerative Solutions in Changing Times” Friday evening at the San Juan Community Theater. He is a nation-ally acclaimed author and co-founder of The Quivira Coalition, a non-profit dedicated to building rela-tionships between ranch-ers, conservationists, public land managers and scien-tist around the idea of land health, will cover multiple topics relevant to local farmers such as innova-tive practices to sustainably intensify food production and reducing energy usage.

Saturday morning’s key note speaker Severine von Tscharner-Flemming, visionary farm activist, is

the founder of Greenhorns, a grassroots organiza-tion who helps recruit and support young farmers. She is also co-founder of FarmHack, an online net-work of farmers who build and use their own tools, and the National Young Farmer’s Coalition. Von Tscharner-Flemming’s pre-sentation will focus on ways to empower and connect new farmers to successful careers in agriculture.

More than 24 sessions on topics ranging from “The business side of poultry production” and “Nutrient recycling for fuel and fer-tilizer” to “Agritourism to increase farm revenue” being held on Saturday at the Friday Harbor Middle School. A summit social at the Grange will follow.

Finishing up the summit on Saturday evening is the Taste of the San Juans at Brickworks. More than ten local chefs and foodies will prepare small plates and drinks using local ingredi-ents. Entry fee is $5, each taste ranges from $2 – $6.

“The Agriculture Summit offers us the chance to brush up on these new par-adigms and perhaps have more folks experiencing ‘ah ha’ moments when they come to face the reality of soil, plants, animals, water, humanity and energy are all wrapped up in one big cycle that will make or break our society. What we do local-ly is global.” said Gregory. “The summit is important because agriculture even

locally is, has been and will continue to be the founda-tion of society.”

Tickets to the screening of “Polyfaces: A World of Many Choices” Thursday at 7p.m. at the San Juan Island Grange can be purchased at the door. $12/ticket. $20 for two.

Call 378-0233 for more information.

Ecology. According to Mark Tompkins, director of San Juan County Health and Community Services, and Kyle Dodd, manager of San Juan County Environmental Health, the contamination is not handled by the coun-ty, and has been under the Washington Department of Ecology’s jurisdiction since the site was first identified as contaminated in 2010.

A history of contamination

The two leaky gas tanks were removed Aug. 25, 2010, according to a Whatcom Environmental report, one 2,000 gallon tank installed in 1987 and another 4,000 gallon tank installed in 1980.

The same report noted

that the depth to ground-water is unknown, and that the surrounding soil tested above normal num-bers according to Model Toxic Control Act unre-stricted use levels for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, benzene, ethylbenzene and total xylenes from six sam-ples taken August 2010.

According to a September 2011 report by Whatcom Environmental, the smaller pit was deemed cleaned after soil excavation and twelve samples were taken from the floor and walls of the pit in January 2011. Despite soil excavation, the larger pit was “not show-ing indications of decreas-ing contamination,” and no clean soil samples were col-lected from that tank.

In February 2011, sample pits were made on the prop-erty, and detected gasoline chemicals at least 13 feet below ground surface in

amounts that exceeded the MTCA Method A cleanup criteria. The deepest sample found benzene 29 feet deep at 2.4 mg/kg, still above the .03 mg/kg allowable level for benzene. The vertical extent of contaminated soil is not known.

The owners left the Voluntary Clean-up Program in June 2012, after a January 2012 letter from Department of Ecology that said more steps needed to be taken to finish the clean-up. At this point, benzene, non-halogenated solvents and petroleum/gasoline are all found above appropriate levels in the soil under the asphalt parking lot.

The January 2012 letter from the Department of Ecology told the owners of the property that further action at the site was neces-sary, as there was concern about the contamination levels. The report found the maximum detected con-centrations of total petro-leum hydrocarbon to be at 1,300 mg/kg, well above the allowable levels of 30 mg/kg, and the benzene levels to be at 19 mg/kg, above the allowable .03 mg/kg.

“Part of the former Village Market building may be sit-uated over the area of soil contamination,” the report

reads. “The potential for vapor intrusion therefore exists, and a soil cleanup level protective of indoor air must be considered.”

The 2012 letter of further action repeated in numer-ous sections that more information was needed in order to determine what levels were suitable for the area, noting that a 65-foot deep water supply well was located nearby, prompting the concern from residents. The report could not deter-mine what sort of threat the contamination posed to groundwater or off-site leakage.

What happens next?

According to DOE policy, because the site is on private property, it is the respon-sibility of the owners to clean up the contamination, and there are currently no available grants for private landowners to assist in their costs for cleanup even after personal or insurance funds have been exhausted.

“Unfortunately the regu-lations don’t stipulate when a cleanup must occur, thats why things like this can sit here for a long time,” said Donna Musa, regional site hazard assessment coor-

dinator for Department of Ecology. “There are sites that came in to Department of Ecology in 1988 that still haven’t been cleaned.”

Musa said that prop-erty owners who enter the program often don’t know how extensive the cleanup will be, and only begin to know when the excavation has begun. In this case, the owners exited the program after two years. Because the program they entered in is voluntary, there is no obligation for the owners to finish the contamination clean up.

“What really drives the clean ups for the last 10-15 years is real estate transac-tions,” Musa said. “Banks won’t loan money to people who are going to buy con-taminated land.”

The owners have made no known moves to sell the property. For smaller-scale contamination like this, Musa said, the Department of Ecology rarely enforces a clean up because it does not pose an immediate threat to residents, and Ecology doesn’t have the time or resources. Musa said there are many situations like these all through the U.S. – old gas station leaks that have yet to be cleaned up thoroughly.

In June of 2015 Jamie Stephens, Lopez county councilmen and president of the Fisherman Bay Water Association, contacted Dodd and Tompkins at the county health department to see what progress had occurred with the site.

Dodd and Tompkins then reached out to the Department of Ecology to see what steps could be taken to resolve the con-tamination and did not receive a response. Dodd most recently contacted the department in January 2016 to find out what the next course of action is, and what Ecology’s plans are for the site. As of press time the county has not received a response.

“We as a county have been trying to find out information,” Stephens said about the contamination. “As part of Fisherman’s Bay Water Association we’ve informed our custom-ers, and as a councilman I informed the Lopez Village Planning Committee. Other than that it’s back to the property owner and [The Department of] Ecology.”

The owners of the prop-erty did not respond to interview requests by press deadline.

consuming and costly,” according to a press release from Wolf Hollow. The

grant funds vary from year to year, and is a national grant funding source.

“There’s a lot of com-petition, and everybody is doing really great work, all the stranded networks need funds,” Duke said.

The marine mammal rehabilitation program cared for an average of 22 seal pups annually, at a cost of $3,000 per pup. After being contacted by strand-ed networks, Wolf Hollow re-hydrates the pups and attends to any wounds or infections the pups have, and feeds them every four hours when they first receive them.

Initially they live in a tub, and then as they regain their strength they are moved into a small pool, then a deeper pool, and fed fish when their digestive system is working. When the pups reach their target weight, they are released with iden-tification tags attached to them, designed to fall off after a period of time.

Duke said that every other aspect of Wolf Hollow will remain the same, as they continue to care for injured or abandoned ani-mals that they receive. The center is currently looking at other ways to gain fund-ing in order to resume the

marine mammal rehabilita-tion program in 2017.

“We are aware that a growing number of harbor seal pups are orphaned, injured or displaced each year due to the increase of human visitation to the San Juan Islands and neighboring counties,” the Wolf Hollow press release said. The program receives stranded pups from all over, this summer receiving some from Whatcom County in addition to Lopez and Orcas.

The season with the high-est number of stranded seal pups is during the summer, late June through July, dur-ing harbor seal breeding sea-son. For islanders who find harbor seal pups stranded locally, call the San Juan County Marine Mammal Stranding Network at (800) 562-8832 or email them at [email protected].

Bringing radio to the island

I would like to publicly acknowledge the good and important work of the late Michael Calhoun who, along with his wife Jody and son Copper, went to great efforts to start the local radio station that is now such a valuable resource to

San Juan island. As I under-stand it, after obtaining the license and establishing the station, the Calhouns turned the station over to Skagit Valley Community College, where it became the Friday Harbor station of SVC’s excellent radio sys-tem. I highly recommend giving it a listen, especially in the late afternoons when they present excellent pub-lic interest programs avail-able nowhere else on the local airwaves. Throughout the day their programming is lively and often amateur-ish in the positive sense of the word–people doing radio not for money or fame, but because they are passionate about it – much, appropriately enough, like the Calhouns themselves.

OPALCO: suggestion for itemized billing

OPALCO’s recent billing states that it will include a new line item or “demand charge” (whatever that is). I have a different billing request. I recommend that the statement include a line which reflects the monthly

purchase and operational costs/profits due to the acquisition of Rock Island Communications. The line should state the charges for the member’s monthly use/non-use of this service. This was a highly controversial purchase which has eroded confidence in the steward-ship of the board. Being open and honest about the monthly impact of this purchase on the member’s pocketbook would go a long way in restoring trust in OPALCO– particularly at a time when rates are zoom-ing skyward.

Marler will be greatly missed

The members of Orcas Island Fire and Rescue wish to extend deepest condo-lences to the family of Chief Marler and to the members of San Juan Fire District 3. Orcas Island Fire and

Rescue remembers Chief Marler as an advocate, local-ly and throughout the state, for wildland fire protection, safety and communications. His state wide and regional advocacy for change has positively impacted all of San Juan County. Chief Marler was known at OIFR as being proactive in mutual aid and collaboration. He was always quick to answer the call when we needed resources and personnel. Not only was he highly regarded as a fire chief, Chief Marler was highly regarded as a story teller and provider of funny anti-dotes.

“As the fire chief on Orcas Island, I had the utmost respect for Steve. I found his knowledge and guidance invaluable in our efforts to unify the county in as many fronts as possible,” remem-bers Orcas Island Fire and Rescue Chief Preysz. Your grief is shared by those who knew him and by your fire-fighter family everywhere. He will be missed.

PUBLIC MEETINGS


Reporter’s notebook Guest column

Submitted by Rock Island CommunicationsRock Island will deliver on its promise to bring wire-

less services to both home and business users in San Juan County via LTE Fixed Wireless by working with T-Mobile USA, Inc.

“This is a win-win collaboration. We gain the ability to provide fixed LTE to our customers and T-Mobile custom-ers now get expanded 4G LTE service in San Juan County. For the first time, we will now have true, contiguous cel-lular coverage in this rural island community,” says Gerry Lawlor, EVP of Rock Island.

T-Mobile brings their extensive design and engineering experience to the effort, as well as core and radio networks, equipment, maintenance and support while OPALCO/Rock Island provides the installation services, power and fiber infrastructure. Both parties are bringing wireless spec-trum to collectively expand wireless capability to islanders. There is no financial exchange in this agreement.

Bellevue-based T-Mobile is rapidly expanding its wireless network, more than doubling its LTE coverage in the past year. As a part of its coverage expansion, T-Mobile launched Extended Range LTE, using the same type of 700 MHz spectrum that OPALCO purchased in 2014.

“T-Mobile’s experience and proven track record sub-stantially reduce the risk for Rock Island’s start-up opera-tions, and provide the ability to get to market with supe-rior fixed LTE wireless services,” says Foster Hildreth,

General Manager of both OPALCO and Rock Island. “Rock Island will dramatically improve communications for first responders resulting in better public safety county-wide. This will be equally beneficial for people dialing into 911.

The LTE network build out has already begun and service will be robust by the end of the year. “Customers who have expressed interest in receiving fixed LTE wireless service will be contacted as their area comes online,” says Lawlor. “Please be patient with us as we deploy throughout the community. Rock Island’s fixed LTE service is designed to serve the further reaches of the community. Those where fiber deployment costs are excessive will be given priority.”

LTE wireless products are not a fiber replacement. Fiber connections will always be Rock Island’s first market prior-ity as fiber to the home provides the greatest capacity and scale for long-term use. LTE Fixed wireless is best suited to serve customers in isolated areas and where fiber installa-tion is not feasible.

“Only a co-op could broker this kind of agreement,” said Hildreth. “We have the spectrum and infrastructure, T-Mobile has the equipment and expertise. When we merge interests, the co-op membership is the big winner as truly excellent services transform our quality of life in San Juan County.”

Rock Island stores in Eastsound and Friday will serve as local retail outlets for T-Mobile wireless sales beginning this spring.

Submitted by OPALCODid you notice the new line item on

your January bill from OPALCO? All co-op members began paying about 45 cents per month (average resi-dential bill) to fund the new Energy Assistance Credit to help qualified low-income households pay their elec-tric bills. This “Energy Assist” program provides a bill credit of $10-$25 per month (depending on household size) every month of the year to members who meet the qualifications for other assistance programs such as Federal Free Lunch, LIHEAP or OPALCO’s Project PAL.

The rising cost of living is a county-wide issue. OPALCO’s Low-Income Needs Assessment in 2015 identified housing as the number one afford-ability issue, with combined utilities coming in fifth on the list. OPALCO is doing its part and encourages other utilities and organizations to step up to address the affordability gap for a sustainable and vibrant community.

The application for the Energy Assist program is available online and paper copies can be picked up at your local OPALCO offices and at island Family Resource and Senior Centers. Applications will begin to be pro-cessed by the end of February 2016.

“This well thought-out program will really help low-income house-holds to manage the recent increase in energy costs,” said Erin O’Dell, Executive Director of the Orcas Community Resource Center where she often refers clients to Project PAL. “There is a need for both programs, Energy Assist and Project PAL, to meet the growing affordability gap in our community.”

While Energy Assist helps house-holds with their energy bills year round, Project PAL is still an essential program for members who have emer-gency needs during the heating season (October – April). PAL provides a one time per year winter grant of an average $150 per household, funded when members round up their bill or make monthly and one-time dona-tions to PAL. Members who qualify for PAL will be eligible for Energy Assist, and members who receive the Energy Assist credit are also eligible to apply for an emergency PAL grant.

Jon Blomgren, Assistant Manager of Member Services, explained, “We are treating Energy Assist as a pilot program this year and will evaluate it quarterly to make adjustments based on participation. Our Low Income Needs Assessment identified as many

as 1,500 households who would qual-ify for the program, however fewer than 300 household applied for Project PAL funds in 2015.” Blomgren would appreciate member feedback on the Energy Assistance Program, especially from those who go through the appli-cation process. He can be contacted at [email protected].

The interdependence of island liv-ing is a large part of our history and a key to our future sustainability and quality of life. The higher cost of liv-ing and the logistical challenges are realities that we choose when we make our homes here. OPALCO members can work together to give each other a hand up with the power of more than 11,000 co-op members to share the burden.

Do all you can to help: support Project PAL, check on your elderly neighbors, support local non-profits that provide essential services and share whatever abundance is avail-able to you. It’s the island way. It’s the co-op way.

Energy Assist Credit and Project PAL help low-income households


If you haven’t already heard the rumblings, or even if you have, I can confirm them for you here: this will be my last edition with the Journal of the San Juans. Call it early retirement or moving on to bigger things, it has yet to be determined.

As the reporter here for the last seven months, I like to think that I’ve had a somewhat different view of how islanders coexist then the casual latest arrival, through covering the debates that divide, to the events that unite.

Friday Harbor is by all accounts a small town. Fundraisers are held for residents in need, the photos and stories of the recently passed elderly are posted on the windows of Kings and Marketplace. Keys are left in the car while the driver goes about his or her errands with not much thought about somebody stealing it. After all, the ferry is the only way off.

And yet Friday Harbor also has a wider, world vision. It’s seen in the recent STEM initiatives at the high school and potentially the elementary school. The San Juan Islands Art Museum that features world renowned art for anyone to see for free, and the still relatively new, high tech hospital. It is clear through the variety and scope of the service clubs here that this is a community that cares deeply about each other.

Here, the citizens are not just residents of the town of Friday Harbor, but they are islanders, which in my mind is synonymous with resilience. Who on the mainland can make that claim?

The sheriff ’s log is most often filled with loose sheep and miscommunications over a crab pot, every stranger is a friend of a friend and it’s common to take an hour at the grocery store for what should have been a quick trip due to how many people you run into.

That is not to gloss over the issues that are very much present here. The islands have very real problems with creating affordable housing initiatives, providing oppor-tunities for low income families, focusing on conservation efforts and environmental issues, dealing with domestic violence and much more.

But what I mean to say, is that the good parts here far outweigh the bad. Whether it’s sunsets at Lime Kiln State Park, watching the winter storms come in off Cattle Point Road, being a bystander at one of the many parades, hearing a generational islander talk about the old days, this place is full of more good than a lot of places in the world, and that is something to cherish. It’s something that I’ll hold with me as I leave these islands, along with the islanders I’ve met and the times we’ve shared.

Thank you San Juan Island, Orcas Island, Lopez Island and little Shaw Island for the beauty in the past few months, and another thank you to the islanders that made it as fulfilling as it was.

The Journal welcomes Courtney Oldwyn as our new reporter.

Oldwyn grew up visiting her grandparents who live at Roche Harbor and spent many summers on the island working and teaching horseback riding lessons to island kids. Oldwyn has always enjoyed writing, was an English major at Oregon State University and has dabbled in jour-nalism. She and her husband, a born and raised islander, moved back to Friday Harbor in 2009 and are committed to raising their two young children here.

By Peggy BurtonSpecial to the Journal

Juneau, Alaska isn’t exactly an island, but just the same, to get there you either have to fly or take the ferry.

Zach was raised on San Juan Island and had moved to Juneau where he managed a car rental shop where Jerri also worked. Jerri was a Juneau native who loved to snow-board. So did Zach. After work, they would cross to nearby Douglas Island, where they spent hours snowboarding with friends. This leads into our story: A Valentine’s story about a warm friendship, and eventually an enduring love.

Two years later, Zach’s father, the Friday Harbor agent for Washington State Ferries, asked Zach if he would he like to come back and take over the agent position.

Zach is still doing that job 14 years later. Jerri works as the “terminal supervisor.” The two of them are responsible for the ferry dock—loading and unloading the ferry traffic, and managing the interface with the ferry system.

These two are well known around Friday Harbor. Islanders need them to get off the island: to get to the specialist, to football, basketball and baseball games, to wrestling and tennis tournaments, Sea-tac airport, Bellingham airport, Grandma and Grandpa, and Costco. Their friendly, kind manner softens news of a delayed ferry, a cold or rushed morning commute, or a frightening emergency. That calm, friendly support comes from something special between the two of them that they pass on to the community.

After 17 years together, Zach describes Jerri as “my very best friend. She helps me and I help her – we look out for each other. We talk about everything and just have this great connection.”

“He tolerates my hobbies! I am somewhat of a gadget freak. I have to have all the new gadgets, and he puts up with that,” said Jerri.

“I don’t feel like I’m putting up with anything, we just look out for each other. We’re nice to each other,” Zach said.

In those few words they proved the results of many years, and many dollars, worth of research about relationships. Dr. John Gottman, University of Washington professor and foremost researcher on love and romance, concluded that friendship is the factor that keeps the marriage bond strong. Gottman noted several areas of friendship that help couples

bond. Mutual support is one.The attitude that people are nice, and, as Zach said, “we

are nice to each other” relates to another of Gottman’s find-ings. In his book, Why Marriages Succeed or Fail, he refers to “. . . a positive mindset” towards your mate as one of the most important qualities of successful relationships. He says that admiration for your mate changes the way you commu-nicate and makes it easier to resolve problems.

One of the things Jerri and Zach say is that they rarely quarrel, and they couldn’t remember ever yelling at each other.

Which leads back to the gadget freakishness. One year Jerri’s daughter saved all summer to buy an i-Pod touch. Not long after, their dog bit it. Jerri felt so bad that she spent hours watching YouTube tutorials and was able to fix it. From that first experience, her “gadget freakishness” grew. Now she enjoys repairing ‘techish’ gadgets for others. Zach is supportive, and Jerri reciprocates as he pursues his love of guitar.

When the subject of romance comes up they share a

comfortable smile across the room. He answers wisely, “Infatuation is all fine and good, but after a time you need something more.”

Years ago his Zach’s parent’s home caught fire, destroying most of their belongings. Islanders set them up in a hotel before the day was over, and began the clean up. Zach and Jerri recall numerous other similar stories on the generosity of island folks. People combined their means to provide a scooter to a young man who needed transportation. They told of financial and other even more personal sacrifices made by numerous islanders for those facing major medi-cal problems.

Valentine’s Day, it ends up, might be about more than romance. For Jerri and Zach, it’s bigger than two people. Through the crowded summer season, or on frigid winter mornings when someone urgently needs that ferry trip – but because of delays or breakdowns it isn’t available, “that’s when we get lots of support from locals,” says Zach. He supervises the top end of the loading lanes and reports that locals drive by and give them “thumbs up” or call to them saying, “you’re doing a great job.”

“Even on the toughest days, people are just nice,” adds Jerri.

Not that there haven’t been challenges, especially when it comes to parenting. Along with the dog biting the I-Pod, there were other more distressing parenting issues. Jerri appreciates how Zach supported her in those moments. She remembers her own mother’s anguished words, “Someday you’ll get yours back—you’ll have a teen-age daughter, and then you’ll understand!” Jerri picked up the phone a couple of years ago and dialed her mother. “Mom, it’s Jerri. I’m SO sorry! I’m sorry for everything I put you through.”

Remember those little candy hearts that you can only find around Valentine’s Day? The ones that have little sayings on them? They are usually pastel pink, yellow or lavender and they say things like “Be mine” or “Kiss me.” Do you remember the one that said “I’m sorry”? That’s part of love too. Like Zach said: Infatuation is all okay, but over time you need more.

An epic fairy tale set in legendary China is the next edition of The Met: Live in HD series at San Juan Community Theatre on Sunday, Feb. 14.

Puccini’s final opera before his sudden death in 1924, “Turandot” is loosely

based on a play by 18th-cen-tury Italian dramatist Carlo Gozzi. Featuring an unusual score with an astounding and innovative use of cho-rus and orchestra, it is still recognizably Puccini, burst-ing with instantly appealing melody.

Christine Goerke, Lise Lindstrom, and Nina Stemme, three of opera’s greatest dramatic sopra-nos, take turns in the title role of the proud princess of ancient China, whose riddles doom every suitor who seeks her hand. Tenors Marcelo Álvarez and Marco Berti are Calàf, the brave prince who sings “Nessun dorma” and wins her love. Franco Zeffirelli’s golden production is conducted by Paolo Carignani.

Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for SJCT members and $10 for student reserved. Due to a financial agree-ment with the Met, no SJCT coupons are accepted for these productions. Tickets are at www.sjctheatre.org or at the SJCT Box Office: 378-3210.

Puccini’s Opera, Feb. 14

‘Love Letters’By Heather SpauldingJournal reporter

Although “Love Letters” was not written by Shakespeare, this tale featuring a pair of star-crossed lovers seemed perfect to Helen Machin-Smith, Islands Stage Left’s co-founder, for the Valentine season.

“It’s a love people will be able to recognize and relate to whether they have experienced it or not,” Machin-Smith said.

“Love Letters” will be playing Feb. 11 through March 6 at the San Juan Fairgrounds, Thursday’s through Saturday’s 7:30 to 9 p.m., and Sundays 4 -5:30 p.m.. Admission is free, donations appreciated. She and her husband, the other co-founder of Stage Left, Daniel Mayes, play the couple, Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner (shown left).

The characters are both products of wealthy families, however Andrew is an up-tight lawyer turned politician while Melissa a free spirited, rebellious artist. It becomes quite clear through their correspondence they care dearly for one another regardless of their differences. Intertwined with their opposing natures is a brutal honesty.

“She calls him stuffy, and he tells her she plays too much and is giving herself a repu-tation.” Machin-Smith laughed.

Production-wise, it is a simple play involv-

ing very few props, and minimal physical action. “Love Letters” is spent entirely with the pair reading their 50 year collection of letters to one another.

Since the play opened in the 80’s, it has been performed by many celebrity couples, world-wide and translated into an array of languages from French to Urdu. It has drawn a huge audience wherever the show-ing.

“The story is very bitter sweet, I was almost moved to tears when I read it,”Machin-Smith said. “And it’s extremely well written.”

Over its almost 17 years of existence, Stage Left has built a reputation for high quality performances, and a good play always begins with the play write.

“If the play isn’t good, there isn’t much actors or directors can do, no matter how talented they are,” Machin-Smith said.

The play’s author AR Gurney is an inter-esting writer, who lists very specific stage directions, according to Machin-Smith. He does allow for the couple to be played by actors of any age, however she feels it works best as an older couple reflecting back over the years of letters.

“Everyone who has seen it is amazed by how much they are brought into the lives of this couple. The audience really ends up caring about them.” Machin-Smith said.

Men stand up for loveThe Stand Up Men, an offset group of the San Juan Domestic Violence and Sexual

Assault Services will be out front of the county courthouse on Friday handing out flowers to the first 100 women who happen to walk by. The group consists of devoted husbands, dads, brothers and grandfathers, who work to spread the message to women that there is a community of men willing to stand up for them in cases of domestic violence.

Harriet A. Spanel died at home in Bellingham, Washington, on February 2, 2016, at the age of 77, surrounded by family and friends.

Born Harriet Rosa Albertsen to Harry and Rosa Albertsen in Audubon, Iowa, on January 15, 1939, she was the sec-ond of four children. She grew up on the family farm in rural Iowa, where she worked along with her sib-lings in the cornfields, bal-ing hay and cleaning out the chicken coops. In high school, she played basket-ball, participated in student government and was her graduating class valedicto-rian. Following high school, she continued her educa-tion at Iowa State University in Ames. She graduated from Iowa State University in 1961 with a degree in mathematics. In that same year, she married her hus-band Les, who was com-pleting his PhD in physics at Iowa State. After college, she worked as a computer programmer for the Atomic Energy Commission at the Ames National Lab.

After starting a family, Harriet and Les moved to Bellevue, Washington, in 1964, when Les took a job as a research engineer at Boeing. It was in Bellevue that her involvement as a community activist and leader began. After being intrigued by a brochure she received with information about the Bellevue area, she joined the League of

Women Voters, an organi-zation she was a part of for over 50 years.

In 1968, the family moved to Bellingham, when Les began his teaching career at Western Washington University in the Physics Department. Harriet con-tinued her involvement with the League of Women Voters in Bellingham by helping to register voters, organizing election forums and serving as the local chapter president for several years. Harriet also jumped into other volunteer activi-ties and issues in the city. She worked with her local Catholic church in commu-nity support and family pro-grams and was the chairper-son for the Adult Education Council of the archdio-cese in 1978. She was also part of the Nuclear Freeze movement in the 1970s and began her involvement with local government by lobbying the city council and city administration on important neighborhood issues. She followed that by serving on the Bellingham Planning Commission, where eventually she served as chair, and then serving on the Bellingham Parks and Recreation Board.

Harriet said that her enrollment in a class at Fairhaven College was a life-changing experience that led her to seek political office and fulfill her pas-sion to help the commu-nity. She ran for and was elected to the Washington State Legislature, where she served three terms in the House of Representatives starting in 1987. She fol-lowed that by serving four terms in the Washington

State Senate from 1993 to 2009. Harriet represented the 40th Legislative District, which includes parts of Whatcom and Skagit coun-ties along with all of San Juan County.

During her 22-year leg-islative career, Harriet was passionate about many issues affecting both her district and the state of Washington. In particu-lar, she was a consistent and strong advocate for the preservation of our environment and natural resources, for women’s and children’s issues, education, transportation and overall responsible government. Harriet was a leader in the Washington State Senate and was the majority caucus chair for the ten years pre-ceding her retirement. After retirement, she continued to be active on both the state and community levels, serv-ing in numerous organiza-tions, such as the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission and her local Sehome Neighborhood Board.

She instilled in her chil-dren and other family mem-bers a sense of adventure and a love of travel. In 1974, Harriet and Les took the family on an eight-month backpacking trip around the Pacific Rim, visiting many countries in Asia and the South Pacific. She also traveled many times to Denmark and other parts of Europe to visit relatives and friends. In 1982, Harriet, Les and their daughter Kristine spent a year in Sweden as part of a teaching exchange program. She continued to travel extensively up until her death and always

seemed to have several trips in the planning stage.

Harriet is survived by son Philip Spanel (wife Meilani Obra), son David Spanel (wife Maria) and their sons Patrick and Mitchell, daughter Kristine Huntwork and her children Tyler and Amanda, sisters Dorothy Hawkes (husband Bill) and Betty Price, broth-er Franklin Albertsen (wife Becky), and many loving relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband of 41 years, Leslie Spanel, in 2002, and by her parents.

A Funeral Mass in cel-ebration of Harriet’s life will be held on Saturday, February 20, 2016, at 10:30 am at Church of the Assumption, 2116 Cornwall Avenue, in Bellingham. A reception will follow. You are welcome to share your memories with the family at www.westfordfuneralhome.com.

The family asks that, in lieu of flowers, contribu-tions may be made to any of Harriet’s favorite causes: Dr. Leslie Spanel Memorial Planetarium Endowment, c/o Western Washington University Foundation or the San Juan Preservation Trust.
