Deputies involved in the now infamous Christmas Eve hayride in Friday Harbor have been disci-plined in a manner appropriate to policy and rule violations that occurred during and in the wake of that contro-versial traffic stop, accord-ing to San Juan County Sheriff Rob Nou.

A small body-worn camera used for sometime last year by one of the deputies involved in the traffic stop has been turned over to the sheriff and is undergoing a forensic examination.

In a Feb. 3 press release, Nou did not describe the disciplinary action but said it is consistent with county personnel rules and the collective bargaining agreement that applies to labor-and-man-agement relations. He said con-clusions were reached and action taken to address community con-cerns about the traffic stop after a review of information available, interviews of several witnesses and with those involved, and dis-cussions with other law enforce-ment agency executives.

Nou said the department would begin equipping patrol cars with cameras, as funding allows (reportedly $5,000 each), and also defended the traffic stop as a nec-essary precaution.

“Deputy Menjivar was right to stop the pickup and trailer,” he said. “The inherent safety con-cerns of having up to 30 people

riding on the trailer, even at low speed, without taillights, signals or brake lights are obvious.

Undersheriff Bruce Distler last week said he is uncertain about what disciplinary steps have been taken. He did say, however, based on prior discussions with the sher-iff, violations of department policy would involve rules of conduct with the public, use of the radio, and media relations, such as sub-mitting a letter to the editor for publication.

(Nou was attending an off-island conference last week and did not return messages prior to the Journal Monday deadline).

Distler said department policy calls for a courteous, professional, patient manner in dealing with

Big plans loom for Friday Harbor, if the town coun-cil response to Administrator Duncan Wilson at the all-day council retreat is any indication.

On Saturday, Wilson made what amounted to a “state of the town” presentation to Mayor Carrie Lacher and the council, complete with a long list of current projects and a plan for the future repair and renovation of many city streets.

The highlight is a proposal in which the council would create a Transportation Benefit District for the Town of Friday Harbor,

which could include a two-tenths of one percent sales tax hike to partially fund up to $15 million in street projects.

The “major projects list” for completion this year includes fourteen construction projects and three design and planning projects, costing over $3.5 million.

“The current revenue will maintain town services,” Wilson said, “but there’s not enough income to maintain the streets.”

The sales tax increase will pro-vide $220,000 per year to start, increasing gradually over 10 years, when the tax will either expire or be renewed by voters to fund more projects.

The most expensive: Blair Street Reconstruction and Sidewalks, $1.5 million (90 per-cent paid by a Transportation Improvement Board grant); water and sewer line replace-ment on Spring Street, between

First and Front, $210,000; water and sewer line replacement on Spring Street between Second and Argyle, $140,000; Street and Park Department buildings, $600,000; and the Linder/Nelson/Franck/Nichols streets stormwater proj-ect, $450,000.

These projects are in the cur-rent budget and underway, but the long list of deteriorated or substandard streets that need repair or reconstruction will need funds from several sources - including money squirreled away in the town coffers and some form of tax increase to provide seed money and matching funds necessary to attract state and fed-eral grants, according to Wilson.

Wilson helped North Bend, Wash., create a TBD in 2011, funded by the statutory sales tax of 20 cents per $100 of spend-

Sears bows out of re-election bid

San Juan County Treasurer Jan Sears will take a seat on the sidelines in the u p c o m -ing elec-tion sea-son.

T h e two-term i n c u m -bent said late last w e e k that she will not be seeking reelection. Her term in office ends Dec. 31.

“My husband has been retired for three years and I’m ready to go,” Sears said. “I’ve got 324 days left until the end of my term, but

who’s counting?”Sears and her husband,

Bud, former facilities manager for the county Department of Public Works, moved to San Juan Island in 1974.

A 22-year county employ-ee, Sears was first elected to the treasurer position in 2006 and ran opposed in the 2010 election. She was chief deputy in the treasur-er’s office for 12 years before taking over management of the department following the retirement of former treasurer Kathy Turnbull.

San Juan Island’s Rhonda Pederson, chief accoun-tant of the auditor’s office, announced last week her candidacy for county trea-surer. It’s Pederson’s first-ever bid for public office.

A non-partisan elected position, the treasurer is custodian of all monies col-lected by and received on behalf of the county, and the junior taxing districts and public school districts. Duties of the treasurer include tracking and over-sight of county financial investments, preparation of excise tax affidavits in prop-erty sales and transfers, and

preparing and sending out annual property tax state-ments.

The treasurer supervises 2 1/2 full-time employees and receives an annual sal-ary of $75,000, benefits included.

Assessor opts out of reelection run

San Juan County Assessor Charles Zalmanek decided after his unopposed 2010 election to retire after com-pleting his second term in office.

He recently reiterated that decision as part of a wide-ranging interview with the Journal about cur-rent issues and future plans at the assessor’s office.

Zalmanek’s proud to have moved the county to annual valuations and pleased that the new $300,000 soft-ware system he installed to replace the 20-year-old anti-

quated system works. He points out that reductions in assessed values caused by the recession have result-ed in a decrease of the assessed value of the coun-ty from $8.13 bil-lion in 2010 to $6.24 bil-lion in 2013.

“I made fairness, unifor-mity and equity my goal when first elected asses-sor, and I’ve achieved those goals and embedded them in the entire staff,” he said. “The best thing about my job has been that I’ve had a competent, supportive staff. I’m proud to have been able to promote from within and to mentor John Kulseth, the chief appraiser, and the

San Juan County Councilman Bob Jarman continues his recuperation in a Bellingham hospital on Monday, Feb. 10. San Juan County Clerk Ingrid Gabriel reports that no expected date of discharge has been announced.

Jarman is being treated for “Strep A,” an aggressive bacterial infection some-times known as a ”flesh eating bacteria.”

Jarman was taken to St. Joseph Hospital by ambulance Monday, Jan. 27. At that time, county officials said that the San Juan Island council-man was suffering from flu-like symptoms.

Jarman credits Dr. Burk Gossom of San Juan Health Care Associates, staff at Friday Harbor’s Peace Island Medical Center, and San Juan EMS flight crew for getting him to the Bellingham hospital in time to receive life-saving treatment.

“I will be in the hospital most of this week while I con-tinue on a program of intensive anti-bacterial treatment

to help balance out all systems,” Jarman said in a press release. “Talking on the phone has not been possible, but I have been keeping up with emails and texts through family members. I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and good wishes through this ordeal.”

A former manager with Century Tel (now CenturyLink), a local telephone and cell-phone service provider, and former San Juan Island Fire Department commissioner, Jarman was first elected to the District 1 council position in the fall of 2012, defeating then-incumbent Lovel Pratt. He was re-elected to the District 1 council post in spring of 2013, besting Pratt a second time, in an election for the reconfigured three-person county council approved by vot-ers in fall of 2012.

Jarman intends to keep pace with local issues while recu-perating.

“I am on the road to recovery,” he said. “I will keep up with county issues and continue working closely with my fellow council members.”

1. Understand the timetable you’re dealing with. You will be moving your family, and you will be trying to put the move to a plan. This can be very emotionally draining. Demand from your agent an appreciation for the timetables you are setting.

2. Remove as many of the challenges as possible. Your agent should know how to handle the challenges that will arise. Make sure they are aware of anything that might come up, especially from a buyer’s inspection. An agent’s ability to negotiate is critical in this market.

3. Get the house SOLD! There is a reason you are putting your family through the process of moving. The reason is important or you wouldn’t be dealing with the headaches and challenges that come along with selling. Do not allow your agent to forget these motivations. Constantly remind them that selling the house is why you hired them. If they discover something needs to be done to attain your goal (i.e. price correction, repair, removing clutter), insist they have the courage to inform you.

Make sure you let your agent know what you and your family expect from them.

ing. Before the meeting, Wilson said the council had discussed the idea informally more than once, with Councilman Steve Hushebeck an early proponent.

Transportation Benefit Districts are separate taxing dis-tricts for defined local jurisdictions, usually municipalities but sometimes counties. Under state law, any tax increase proposed by a TBD must be approved by local voters and can be used only for transportation improvements.

Friday Harbor has almost the lowest sales tax rate in the state, Wilson said.

“The small increase the council will ask the voters to approve will be paid for by people who use the town’s streets, in part by tourists and county residents who shop in Friday Harbor. This tax will directly benefit Friday Harbor voters in many ways.”

To illustrate the need, town Director of Public Works Wayne Haefele talked about street construction and main-tenance, and reviewed findings of street inspections with dozens of photographs illustrating problems streets and neighborhoods.

“Together with the monies we allocate annually in the

budget, the TBD would be the start of funding the needed repairs,” Wilson said.

Saying the initial estimate of repair and maintenance costs was in the $8 to $10 million range, Wilson noted that more detailed inspections and engineering showed that up to $15 million would be needed to rehabilitate the entire town street grid.

“We’ve got to be honest with the people when we tell them what future costs will be,” he said.

Council reactions were positive. Councilman Hushebeck said, “We should absolutely be for it. I’m really impressed with improvements we’ve already made and this project is the capstone to everything going on.”

Councilman Neil Monin said street maintenance prob-lems “have been accelerating in Friday Harbor and won’t just go away, we need something like this.”

Councilwoman Barbara Starr wants to make sure that neighborhoods would understand the benefits they would receive.

“We’ve got to focus our outreach to residents,” she said.Newly elected Councilman Farhad Ghatan summed up

the discussion: “Let’s move forward on this.”Creation of the transportation district will be on an early

Town Council meeting agenda, Lacher said, to be followed within weeks by the necessary approval to put the sales tax increase on the November ballot.

the public and that radios are to be used for business only, and that editorial comment is strictly pro-hibited. After leaving the scene of the traffic stop, Menjivar reportedly said in a radio dispatch that the sheriff would soon be receiving numerous and distorted complaints about the incident. He also defended his actions in a letter to the editor pub-lished in the Jan. 8 edition of the Journal.

Distler said disciplinary measures depend in large part on the type and on the number of violations of any

individual. Punishments can range from a verbal warning to a letter of rep-rimand, to termination of employment if an offense, such as theft, is severe.

Meanwhile, Distler said that he authorized Menjivar to use the body-worn cam-era, at the deputy’s request, following a town hall forum in March, 2013, in which the sheriff fielded numer-ous complaints regarding the deputy’s conduct during a series of prior traffic stops. He said that he understood that it quit functioning sometime later that sum-mer.

“I don’t know if he had it on or not on Christmas Eve,” Distler said. “I know we never got a complaint when he was wearing a camera.”

He said several attorneys have asked for footage from that camera on behalf of their clients. It is at a labora-tory undergoing a forensic examination to determine what footage it contains and the dates when video was taken.

“It’s my understanding that even if something has been erased that it’ll show some kind of date or time-stamp,” he said. “It leaves a footprint.”

other appraisers to a high level of daily performance.”

Just as Paul Dossett mentored Zalmanek and encouraged him to run for assessor in 2006, Zalmanek is encouraging Kulseth to run in 2014. Kulseth con-firmed that he intends to file for the position when candidate filing begins in early May.

Zalmanek said the cur-rent spat with the county council over farming and open space current use assessment reductions did not affect his decision (See pg. 7, “As I See It”)

“I decided not to run at the time of my 2010 election,”Zalmanek said.

But the current use assessment reduction for farmlands, timberlands and

open space is an important and troubling issue, he con-cedes.

With both the state Attorney General and the Legislature getting involved with the issue, Open Space Act tax exemptions will

likely remain an impor-tant 2014 election issue - one that John Kulseth and his opponent will have to address on the campaign trail.

Election:Continued from page 3

The long and winding road for the county criti-cal areas ordinances is approaching a milestone, but the end is far from sight.

If the County Council fol-lows the plan it announced at the Feb. 4 council meet-ing, the date that the ordi-nances will go into effect will be moved from March 1 to March 31.

If the CAO takes effect March 31, plans and per-mit applications filed before March 31 will be considered under the laws and regula-tions in effect before the CAO updates were passed in 2012.

After March 31, plans and applications will be con-sidered under the new law, including the new amend-ments presently being consid-ered and which are expected to be approved March 5.

The amendments address the order issued

in September by the state Growth Management Hearings Board, which ruled that portions of the CAO did not comply with state law. That order followed petitions for review of the CAO by the Common Sense Alliance, Friends of the San Juans and others.

That GMHB order was itself appealed to the San Juan County Superior Court.

The public hearing on the amendments that started on Feb. 4 will continue on Feb. 11, when the council will accept further public testimony and begin con-sideration of the amend-ments. Final council action is scheduled for March 5.

The original update was enacted by the six-person council in late 2012, but the three-member council elected in November 2012 extended the effective date

until March 1, 2014 to allow the appeals to go forward.

The present schedule calls for the council to file its amendments with the growth board on March 19.

The growth board can reject the council’s amend-ments and send the CAO back to the county for fur-ther action.

Meanwhile, the first appeal of the GMHB to the San Juan County Superior Court is scheduled for a hearing on the merits on March 19, which will be followed within weeks by a decision by Judge Don Eaton.

After that decision, any party can appeal to the state Court of Appeals and then to the state Supreme Court. Final resolution may be two or three years away.

Of survey results& self-promotion

This is a commentary regarding the recent publi-cation of a list recently sup-plied by PIMC to the public.

It is not in any way a com-ment on care and should be understood that the scope of the commentary is intentionally narrow. It is a reminder to all that data and numbers are not infor-mation: they need context and analysis. The list needs careful drill down to be understood:

n Were the visits, tests, and procedures appropriate

or not? Were the costs of those tests within accepted norms?

n Was the quality of care analyzed or evaluated by disinterested review-ers? Was customer-service review sought and exam-ined objectively? Were anecdotal reports (good or bad) examined for trends?

n Was the locus of care (clinic vs. ER) appropriate or was there channeling?

n Was the pattern clinic encounters commensurate with accepted standards for both access and commensu-rate with the cost of provid-ing those services? Were the charges for services appro-priate and competitive? Was communication with non-PIMC physicians timely and professional?

Until there are answers for my little questions (which always will lead to more little questions), there is no way—positively or nega-tively—to assess the com-munity’s investment and the numbers will remain little more than advertising and self-promotion.

Note that this is a per-sonal observation and does not represent the views of anyone else.

Nursing homes in need of new rates

For the next 18 years, approximately 8,000 baby boomers will turn 65 every day. By 2030, one in five Washingtonians will be considered elderly—and many will need long-term care.

Reliance on govern-ment support for long-term care needs will continue to grow as baby boomers

age. The future looks star-tling to those of us who comprise the “silver tsu-nami,” and is downright alarming for thousands of Washingtonians who rely on the state’s Medicaid sys-tem to pay for long-term care services in nursing homes and assisted living centers.

Assisted living Medicaid rates haven’t been updated in nearly a decade—and were cut by six percent from 2010 to 2012. Nursing home rates were last updated in 2007. Rates fell short by over $100 million in 2012 —and over half the state’s nursing homes lost money.

Failure to update rates creates problems at the bed-side, where care quality is truly defined. Seventy per-cent of the cost of long-term care is wage and labor-related, thus financial losses equal lost jobs and that translates to lost qual-ity. This is simply not sus-tainable.

Washington Health Care Association has represented skilled and assisted living providers in Washington for over 40 years. Our 400-plus members tell us that the issue of appropriate funding does not change because of shifting demo-graphics. Washington’s system of facility-based long-term care is threat-ened as never before. Now, as in the future, when a loved one’s care needs can’t be met at home, it’s critical that trained and certified staff are available to pro-vide quality care in a cost-effective, safe and highly-regulated care setting.

Please call the Legislative Hotline in Olympia today, 1-800-562-6000, and let your legislators know that seniors matter. Tell them

skilled and assisted living care must be a priority in the supplemental budget.

Fascists allowed too much leeway

I think all of you should know the type of people you have in your community. The following is from the comments section of the San Juan Journal.

Tim Moore · Follow · Top Commenter · San diego: “A.m. madahootchie lying out her keister? I say Hell Yes! Such acfake and a fraud who lives In Florida! I can’t wait for a huge sink hole to swallow her whole! I bet Monson rides her wrinkled ole big mouth to glory! Anyhow a.m. you dim wit tge U.S. Navy puts ot a Schedule when they Fly the OLF! NOT ON WEEKENDS! SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE!”

These and many other abusive comments can

be found in the San Juan Journal, the South Whidbey Record and the Whidbey News Times. This level of fascism is in violation of the “terms of use”

(We encourage an open exchange of ideas on this story’s topic, but we ask you to follow our guidelines for respecting community standards. Personal attacks, inappropriate language, and off-topic comments may be removed, and comment privileges revoked, per our Terms of Use. Please see our FAQ if you have questions or concerns about using Facebook to comment.); which this publication does not seem to care to enforce.

I have been watching the aggression of the fascist movement in Island County escalate for some time now.

I call them simply the Island County Fascists and their crimes range from abuse to vandalism and even suspicion of planting an improvised explosive device as reported in the Whidbey News Times. We

know someone planted an IED at a private residence, we just do not know who.

It is a shame to see the same bold abuse handed out by the Fascists of San Juan County. It is further dis-tressing to me that the San Juan Journal also does not seem to enforce their own rules, as the Island County publications do not.

Ask yourself this, when did this kind of public behavior become accept-able in your community? If your answer is “NEVER!” then please ask your local publications to delete abu-sive comments from their web sites and ban those who post such hatred.

This is only one of many examples. I am appalled to see mindless fascism rear-ing its head on our islands. I thought you should know.

PUBLIC MEETINGS

By Matt Marinkovich, Fish for Teeth, president, board of directorsSpecial to the Journal

On Friday, Jan. 24, Fish for Teeth kicked off its third year of pro-viding dental care for those who

cannot afford it, and cooked up over 300 fish tacos to help support the effort.

Dental care is provided by local volunteer dental professionals on the Medical Teams International mobile dental van, a 40-foot two-chair tooth-fixing behemoth, which comes to San Juan Island every January, May, and October.

The January 24-25 clinic helped 32 people for more than $14,600 in dental services. There are no income require-ments limiting those who receive ser-vices, but prospective patients must assure they have no discretionary income, and no other means of pay-ing for dental care. Thus far, the Fish for Teeth screening team is confident they are servicing only those who truly need assistance.

Fish for Teeth operates from a 100 percent volunteer effort; teeth wouldn’t be fixed without support from the dental community, and every dental office on San Juan Island has either

helped already or pledged their sup-port for future clinics.

Special thanks go to dentists Michael Horn, Bo Turnage, and Michelle Reynolds; and dental staff Tami Doenges, Kris Phillips, Lori Miller, Barbara Foster, Erin Quinn, Susie Steenkolk, and Julie Knight for providing their dental expertise this last clinic.

A big thanks also goes to those who schedule and coordinate the clinics: Margaret Johnson, Liz Pillow, Joanne Runyan, Nancy Best, and Michal Horn; and to the Mullis Community Senior Center for providing the site for the van and a space for patients to check in and wait for their appointments. Thank you also to Ellen Broyles, the “Tooth-Fairy,” who drives the van to our island and facilitates the whole undertaking, and to the U.W. Labs for providing a room at a great rate for

Ellen to stay in while she was here.Fish for Teeth’s primary fundraising

effort is selling fish tacos. Team Taco has a great time making tacos, and they deserve a big thank you for their efforts: Mary Ellen Courtney, Tina Fisher and Bruce Robinson, Mary Grove, Alexis Hauck, Jean Griffin, Kerwin Johnson, Sharon Lannan, Matt and Maureen Marinkovich, Pauline Mulligan, Meichelle Roberts, and Jocelyn Roberts. Sophia Marinkovich and Samantha Hopkins carried signs to advertise the tacos.

A huge thank you goes to Donny Galt and all the staff at Friday Harbor Ace Hardware for providing space in their parking lot, and helping in countless ways throughout the event. Thanks also to Cynthia Burke of Cynthia’s, Of Course catering for use of her kitchen to prepare the ingre-dients.

If you wish to help out with Fish for Teeth’s community effort, donate, or want more information about our programs, go to fishforteeth.com. Applications for dental care are avail-able at the SJC Health Department, the SJI Family Resource Center, or on the website.

As I See It

Faults, failures in the ‘fairness’ test

By Charles Zalmanek, SJC assessorSpecial to the Journal

The 1889 state constitution recognized that to be effective, uniformity must apply to both assessments and tax rates.

Fairness, uniformity and equity are the hallmarks of Washington’s property tax system and assessors and their staff continually endeavor to maintain that goal. When different portions of the property tax system are not appro-priately maintained, fairness, uniformity and equity are compromised.

This article focuses on the three top ways to improve the fairness of San Juan County's property tax system. Each would impact some taxpayers negatively, but each would promote the fairness all taxpayers expect and deserve.

First, the assessor’s office should continue to monitor all lands enrolled in special tax programs and remove non-compliant lands as required under the law. An appeal pro-cess is available for landowners who disagree with the asses-sor regarding the removal of their lands from classification.

Second, the County Council should immediately re-rate all properties with outdated Public Benefit Ratings allowing the assessor's office to revalue these lands under the current rating system.

Third, the County Council should provide the necessary funding for the assessor's office to list and appraise all new construction, not just new construction on ferry-served islands with a value over a certain threshold, each and every year. The additional funding would likely be more than offset by the additional revenues generated.

Most islanders are aware of lands that are enrolled in the Current Use Farm & Agricultural Program where little or no farming is taking place. Most are also aware of lands enrolled in the Current Use Timber or Designated Forest Land Programs where there has been no apparent manage-

ment of the lands for growth and harvest of trees.

When lands were enrolled into any of these programs, agree-ments were signed, allowing the assessor to value the lands at their “current use” rather than at their “highest and best use” in exchange for managing the lands appropri-ately. As a result, the tax burden is shifted away from owners of these lands and onto all other taxpay-ers. When lands are not managed

appropriately, the law requires that the assessor remove them from program enrollment and issue compensating taxes.

In 1990, San Juan County implemented the state's Open Space Act and developed a Public Benefit Rating System for parcels of land to be enrolled in the Open Space Program, which rewards voluntary resource preservation. The num-ber of PBRS points awarded converts directly into a per-centage of reduction in assessed value of the subject land.

When the County Council amends a PBRS, all exist-ing open space parcels must be rated under the amended PBRS (RCW 84.34.055(3) and WAC 458-30-330(6)). The Department of Revenue recently performed a review of the current use program in San Juan County. The report stated, “We found that there were existing open space land parcels that were rated under the original PBRS, and had not been rated under the amended PBRS.”

The original PBRS allowed for as many as 90 points, which equates to a 90-percent discount in land valuation for tax purposes. The maximum number of points available under the current PBRS is 70.

The DOR estimated that approximately 150 parcels are still rated under a prior PBRS. By not re-rating open-space lands using the amended PBRS guidelines, a significant tax shift continues to exist in favor of owners of lands classi-fied under the old PBRS and away from all other taxpayers. Fairness, uniformity and equity will continue to be compro-

Our property tax system could be more uniform, equitable and fair; here’s how

Washington state Rep. Kristine Lytton, D-Anacortes, played a key role in settling years of conflict by helping to craft a resolution ensuring ranchers will be reimbursed for livestock losses and that avoids pushing the state's grey wolf population back toward extinction. Her efforts did not go by unnoticed.

The 40th District legislator, whose represents all of San Juan and portions of Skagit and Whatcom counties, was named “Legislator of the Year” by the U.S. Humane Society for brokering that resolution. She shares the award with state Sen. Christine Rolfes of Bainbridge Island.

“This was quite a challenge,” said Lytton, vice-chair-woman of the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee. “Time will tell, but it looks like we’re on the right track, and I’m honored that the U.S. Humane Society

has chosen to recognize our efforts.” In addition to agriculture and natural resources, Lytton

serves on the appropriations, education, finance and rules committees, and is deputy majority-floor leader of the state House of Representatives.

mised until all parcels are

rated using the same PBRS.The assessor is required

to list and appraise all new construction each year.

Unfortunately, in the two

decades that I have worked in the assessor’s office, we have never had the neces-sary resources to accomplish this. This office has omitted new construction appraisals on non-ferry served islands and also routinely omits appraisal of new construc-tion with lower values, due to inadequate staffing.

Without adequate resources to appraisal all new construction, all tax-ing districts, including the county, are not receiving revenues that could help alleviate funding issues.

In the 2011 assessor’s budget presentation to the county council, the asses-sor provided an illustration of the compounding effect of capturing new construc-tion value, but the necessary funding was not granted.

As a result, newly con-structed buildings are some-times not placed on the

tax rolls for several years. Again, fairness, uniformity and equity of taxation are compromised.

The overall effect of the above deficiencies causes some taxpayers to pay more, while the county and all other taxing districts receive less, creating a seri-ous breach in the notion of fairness, uniformity and equity in taxation.

With assistance and support from the county council, the assessor could accomplish the goals out-lined above and create a more fair uniform and equitable system of proper-ty taxation for all taxpayers in San Juan County.

— Editor’s note: Charles Zalmanek is in the final year of a second four-year term as county assessor, an elected posi-tion. He is not running for re-election.

The Friday Harbor boys basketball team, winners of eight of their last nine games, opened post-season play Monday, at home, in a rematch against Blaine.

Friday Harbor (7-0 league, 12-8 overall) carried a five-game win streak into the Northwest Conference

1A playoff opener, includ-ing a Northwest 1A/2B League title-clinching 75-70 victory at home, Feb. 6, over Cedar Park Christian, earn-ing the Wolverines a sec-ond-straight league title

The winner of Monday’s game faced the winner of Mount Baker versus Kings,

with the losers squaring off in the consolation bracket, in a loser-out contest.

The Friday Harbor girls basketball team opened the post-season on the road at Kings High School, Tuesday.

The Wolverines (3-4 league, 8-12 overall) closed out the regular season with consecutive wins, a 56-43 victory at home, Feb. 6, over Cedar Park Christian, fol-lowed by a 45-39 victory over Shoreline Christian on the road, Feb. 7.

San Juan Island’s Andy Holman braved the cold and the wind, and bested a field of 343 other anglers to snare the grand prize — $10,000 — in the 11th annual Salmon Classic hosted Feb. 7-8 by Roche Harbor Resort.

Holman, a seven-year classic veteran, credits the use of electronic equipment for helping him to locate the 20.2 pound fish, in the north end of Lopez Sound, and credits his teammates even more so for helping him to land the winner.

“It was quite an epic battle to say the least,” he said. Once hooked, the fish began taking line and taking line,

and taking more line until Holman had only about half his line left. His wife, Carol, took over at the helm and team-mate Kevin Klein readied the net as they circled the boat around, intent on hoisting and landing what they believed would prove to be a sizable catch.

“I knew it was a big fish, but we never saw it until it was just at the surface,” Holman said. “It was a total team effort. I may not have caught it if it hadn’t been for the rest of the team.”

In addition, Holman, whose 20.2-pounder earned him the classic’s first-place prize, snagged another $1,000 for landing the largest fish weighed in on Friday, the first day of the two-day fishing derby, a new category introduced as part of this year’s classic.

A total of 172 fish were weighed in over the course of the two-day winter time fish-ing extravaganza, in which 344 fisherman and 100 boats competed for $26,000 in cash prizes. The 2014 Classic was a sold-out event. At six-and-a-half years of age, Tacoma’s Christian Thomas was the

youngest competitor, and Barry Allyn of Snohomish won the drawing for free entry in the 2015 classic.

Bellevue’s Pat Federsiel won the second-place prize of $5,000 with a 16.2-pound fish, besting Frank Finch of Friday Harbor, whose 15.12-pounder landed him $3,000 for third place.

The classic’s $2,000 Mystery Fish prize went to Darin Danner of Woodinville and Craig Hougen, Brian James and Tim Melton split the Best Boat Total Weight prize of $2,000. The Bellingham boat-mates landed 10 fish that together weighed 78.8 pounds.

And the winning fish? Holman plans to smoke half of it and freeze the rest. He intends to take Carol out for a nice Valentine’s Day dinner as well, and he most certainly will be out on the water again, when the 2015 Salmon Classic rolls around.

“I’m always trying to improve my game,” he said. “It’s not over yet.”

“I could search my whole life through and through and never find another you.”

“When you see a falling star tonight, make a wish, it will come true because I wished and I found you.”

“They say you only fall in love once, but that can’t be true… Every time I look at you, I fall in love all over again.”

With Valentine’s Day less than 48 hours away, time is running out on making plans to impress your sweetheart with a roman-

tic gesture or gift, or for deciding upon something creative that might let those special people in your life know that you care.

So, if you find yourself still scratching your head for an idea to capture the spirit of the holiday, the Journal staff suggests that a film or a poem, or pos-

sibly a book, might do the trick. Below is a list of Top Five candidates in each cat-

egory. However, since we were way underwhelmed by the lists of “Most Romantic Films of All Time” that we came across (“Annie Hall”, really?), we picked five of our own.

We’re also tossing out a few “love quotes” as well, which may come in handy. Feel free to use ‘em, but don’t abuse ‘em.

Those clamps, sutures, stethoscopes and sonagrams? They’ll probably take a backseat for an hour or so.

That’s because the featured instruments of the day at Peace Island Medical Center will include the clarinet, violin, trumpet, flute, bassoon, cello, french horn, oboe, saxo-phone and one double-bass, as the medical center opens its doors to host Island Sinfonia, the San Juans’ very own symphony orchestra, Saturday, Feb. 15.

Presented by the medical center as part of its “A Year of Firsts” events, the free concert will take place in the PIMC lobby and gets under way at 1 p.m. (Space is limited)

Island Sinfonia (Italian for “Little Symphony”), which debuted on Shaw Island more than two decades ago, carries the distinction of the San Juan Islands’ longest continu-ously performing musical group. The symphony consists of musicians from all the ferry-served islands—about 22 in all,

the majority of whom reside on Orcas—and is led by Shaw Island-based conductor Ned Griffin.

They symphony’s repertoire is deep, expansive and var-ied, ranging from classics by composers such as Beethoven and Bizet, to the Broadway tunes of Rogers & Hammerstein. The concert is expected to last up to 90 minutes.

Whiteley Lecture: ‘Dog Days, Raven Nights’, Thursday

Fresh out of grad school and recently married, John and Colleen Marzluff left Arizona 20 years ago for a cabin in the mountains of Maine. Their mission: con-

duct a first-ever study of the winter ecology of the Common Raven, under the tutelage of biologist Bernd Heinrich.

In “Dog Days, Raven Nights,” the couple chroni-cle their three-year endeav-or and share the unique challenges and joys of rais-ing, training, and racing the sled dogs that assisted them in their work.

The Marzluff ’s book and research will be featured in the next edition of San Juan Nature Institute’s Arthur Whiteley Lecture Series, Thursday, Feb. 13, at the UW of Friday Harbor Labs Commons, at 7 p.m.

Accompanied by Evon Zerbetz’s linocut illustra-tions, “Dog Days, Raven Nights” is a behind-the-scenes look at adventures of field science and an insight-

ful exploration of relation-ships, animal and human.

For more on San Juan Nature Institute and the Whiteley Lectures, visit, www.sjnature.org.

Shepard’s ‘True West’ featured in Readers Theatre

San Juan Community Theatre will present Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Sam Shepard’s character-study about the relation-ship between two brothers, “True West,” in the next edi-tion of On Book! Readers Theatre series, Wednesday-Thursday, at 7:30 p.m.

First released in 1980, True West played on Broadway 20 years later. It examines the brothers’ rela-tionship and how their roles become reversed as conflict between the two arises, and finds both admitting that they always had longed to be in the other’s shoes.

Directed by John Davis, the cast features Daniel

Finn, Dorian Oliver and Jacki Altier Roth. Doors open at 7 p.m., admission is free, with festival seat-ing. Visit www.sjtheatre for more information.

Non-profits to share $86K in United Way supportThe United Way of San Juan County in January awarded

more than $86,300 to 19 local non-profits that together operate nearly 30 vital programs that are provided exclu-sively to residents throughout the county.

Programs funded by the local chapter of United Way are offered by non-profit agencies on Orcas, Lopez and San Juan islands.

“Our United Way is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of local people,” said San Juan Island’s Bill Morrissey, president of the chapter board of directors. “This

year, contributions from San Juan County individuals and businesses are helping over 5,000 children, families, elders and disabled individuals countywide. It is hard to find another local non-profit where one gift provides so much good to so many in our community.”

In addition to funds granted through the group’s alloca-tion process, $7,244 in donor-designated contributions were distributed to these and three other non-profits.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

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