Hope springs eternal at the San Juan County Council that the Washington Legislature and the U.S. Congress can help.

The County Council has draft-ed state and federal legislative pri-orities to send to Olympia and Washington DC. Councilwoman Lovel Pratt, who serves on the Washington Association of Counties Legislative Steering Committee, spearheads the pri-orities effort.

The priorities have undergone several drafts in response to coun-cil discussions and public testi-mony. Final council action on the recommendations will probably occur in October.

The council’s first federal legisla-tive priority for 2013 is directed at oil spill prevention and response, partly in reaction to present and future increases in shipments from British Columbia ports of “bitumen” derived from the oil sands of Alberta. Shipments are expected to grow every year for many years, and the heavy, tarry bitumen is especially problematic in the Salish Sea because it sinks — a potential disaster should a spill occur.

An 18-year-old San Juan Island man was flown to Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center with life-threaten-ing injuries following a single-car collision, Friday, near the intersection of Bailer Hill and False Bay roads.

The 18-year-old was one of three teens traveling in a 4-door Acura sedan, driven by an 18-year-old, at the time of the crash, which occurred at about 10 p.m., about 1/4 mile west of Bailer Hill Road.

The car was traveling at a high-rate of speed when the driver lost control and, after swerving back-and-forth across the road, slammed into a tree, according to Sheriff Rob Nou.

“They were driving well in excess of the posted 25 mph speed,” said Nou, adding the preliminary inves-

tigation indicates that alcohol and possibly drugs played a role in the collision. “The one positive note in all this is that all three were wearing seat belts.”

The driver and a 17-year-old passenger, in the backseat at the time of the crash, were initially treated at the medical center in Friday Harbor. The driver was then flown to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bellingham for treatment and later released. The 17-year-old pas-senger was released from the medical center.

Nou said that the 18-year-old in the front passen-ger seat ended up pinned against the dashboard when the Acura struck the tree.

The car struck the tree with such force that the tree “protruded into the front passenger seat,” he said, trapping the young man inside. It took two hours before emergency responders were able to remove the injured man from the wreckage, he said.

As of Monday, Nou said the crash remains under investigation and that no arrests have been made. He declined to identify the three young men involved in the collision.

REDUCE • REUSE • RECYCLE

By Dona Ryba / special to the Journal

Each summer the Family Resource Center offers its “Preschool to Kindergarten Transitions Program” to families with children who will enter kindergarten in the fall.

Morgan and her parents, Katie and Will, participat-ed this summer and were thrilled that they did.

Katie reports that “it real-ly helped to keep Morgan’s excitement about going to kindergarten alive through-out the summer and her love of school continues”.

Katie sees how the pro-gram could really help reduce anxiety in children who might be anxious about beginning a first or new school experience.

How does the program work?

The Transitions’ home-visitor meets with the child and family four times in their home in July and August. She brings with her a box of school readi-ness activities and supplies that the child gets to keep and work with both during home visits and through-out the summer.

Morgan and her fam-ily were very pleased with the supplies because they promoted language skills,

helped develop small motor coordination – and also provided supplies for school. They loved reading “Mrs. Bindergarten Goes to Kindergarten” together – especially the night before the big first day.

The extra Open House for Transitions Program participants was important to the family. Because of prior commitments, they would have missed the reg-ular school-scheduled one.

Morgan asked through-out the summer, “Can I work with my school box things now?”

Katie and Will want to give back — and would like to participate in an expanded program next year. They also plan to make a donation to United Way of San Juan County this year.

All parents were actively involved in their child’s readiness for kindergarten. They were also encour-aged to play an active role in their child’s education through volunteering in their child’s classroom.

Kindergarten teachers feel the program makes the early days of school go more smoothly. When chil-dren see the familiar face in their classroom, they relax and settle right in.

The Preschool to Kindergarten Transitions Program is completely funded by United Way and a private donor. Thank you both from all of us.

To support United Way of San Juan County, mail your gift to P.O. Box 3181, Friday Harbor, WA 98250, or donate online at www.unitedway-sanjuancounty.org. Mention this article to designate solely to this agency.

Frank Vincent LaSalataOur beloved father, friend and King

County District Court Judge, Frank V. LaSalata, passed away on September 1, 2012 at the age of 60, due to complications of his battle with cancer.

Frank was born on March 7, 1952 in Brooklyn, NY as the only child of Michael and Sadie LaSalata. He lived on Long Island, NY until he moved to Washington in 1975. He married Mary

Carnahan (later divorced) and they had 3 adored sons, Michael, Anthony and David. Frank graduated from Washington State University with a Bachelor of Science and a Masters in Geology. After living in Centralia and working at WIDCo for several years, he pursued his dream of becoming a lawyer and in 1992 graduated from the University of Puget Sound Law School (now Seattle University). He practiced law for several years in Bellevue and then in Friday Harbor before attaining his goal of twice being elected as a King County District Court judge, where he presided until his death.

Frank is survived by his sons, Michael (Kari), Tony (Lisa) and David (Arielle), and his wonderful grandchildren who brought him so much joy, Mika, Sydnie, Madison (Belle), Kaleb, Owen, Paige, Olivia and Vincent. He is preceded in death by his parents.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Clise Mansion at Redmond’s Marymoor Park on Saturday, September 22 at 12:00 p.m.

Please visit the online guestbook at www.cedarlawns-washington.com.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Frank V. LaSalata Education Fund for his grandchildren’s education.

tation through local waters dovetails with future coal shipments from the pro-posed Gateway Pacific ter-minal near Bellingham, but the start of the federal Environmental Impact Statement process in con-nection with the coal port proposal suggests little con-gressional action can be expected.

Other proposed federal priority issues: funding for the Cattle Point Road realignment project in the San Juan Island National Historical Park; designa-tion of San Juan County

BLM lands as a National Monument (by Presidential proclamation) or as a National Conservation Area (by Congressional action); funding for Orca protec-tion enforcement; updating flood insurance rate maps in the county; and funding for the Deer Harbor bridge project.

The first Olympia prior-ity is securing “adequate, dedicated and sustainable” funding for the ferry system, both for operations and for building new ferries. Vehicle licensing fees are seen as a potential sustainable sourc-es of funding. Councilman Howie Rosenfeld points out that “the legislature cov-ered 2013 ferry operating

expenditures, but funding for future years continues to be a problem.”

Other ferry action items are construction of a second ferry slip in Friday Harbor and funding for construc-tion of a commuter parking lot in Orcas Village.

The second state priority, like the first federal priority, is oil spill prevention and response. Specifically, the county wants to enlist the governor, the Department of Ecology, the tribes and the legislative delegation to support designation of San Juan County as a stag-ing area capable of meeting four-hour and six-hour oil spill response standards.

This second priority has a specific action option related to the Gateway Pacific coal terminal near

Bellingham. Specifically, the council is asking that state and federal authorities require that Environment Impact Statement scoping meetings be held in San Juan County, and that the resul-tant EIS specifically address increased vessel traffic and increased risk of contami-nation to local waters.

As always with both Congress and the state leg-islature, the fly in the pri-orities ointment is paying for expenditures necessary to implement the desired policies and programs. If the budget woes of recent years continue to prevail in 2013 and beyond - in San Juan County, Olympia and Washington, DC - the coun-cil priorities may receive short shrift from Congress and the legislature.

to the town before 8 a.m. Sunday morning

Wilson recounted that Kasey Anderson of the town’s utilities department was first on the scene “within minutes” after the break occurred at about 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 1. Anderson knew where the shutoff valves were located and turned off the water by 7:30 p.m.

Another break in the same pipe occurred four years ago at the corner of First and Spring streets.

The plan is to replace the World War II-era pipe with new 8-inch PVC pipe in the next few weeks — “before winter rains start” in late

October. Wilson said specifica-

tions for a “small works ros-ter” project would be sent to contractors “in the next few days.” Wilson hopes to have bids on the project, estimat-ed to cost about $75,000, in the “next week or two.”

The entire line from Argyle Street to Front Street will have to be replaced soon, according to Wilson.

In addition, the town is now in the design phase of an $8 million proj-ect to replace the main water transmission line from Trout Lake to Friday Harbor. Whether replac-ing the Spring Street main could wait until the trans-mission line is replaced is not known and has not been decided, Wilson said.

Letters to the EditorCritics of Catholic healthcare off base

According to the Aug. 29 front page article con-cerning the PeaceHealth partnership with Catholic Health Initiatives (“Alarm raised over merger”, Journal, pg. 1), Monica Harrington stated that “women on San Juan Island… must be assured that the tax money collected from all the people in San Juan County will not be used to restrict women’s health care rights or advance the religious agenda or doc-trines of any church.”

It is important to under-stand that the partner-ship with Catholic Health Initiatives has been under-taken because PeaceHealth knows it is the generous charitable offerings of Catholic Christians which undergird all Catholic charities.

It is the Catholics who are alarmed — alarmed by the possibility of their charita-ble contributions (collected not only from Christians in San Juan County but also those well beyond this com-munity’s boundaries) being used to finance contracep-tion, sterilizations, and the killing of unborn human beings, something that should not be seen simply as a religious agenda, but as a human right to be born, the most basic human right there is.

Closely related to this concern is the very real threat to all U.S. citizens’ religious freedom, another of the most basic freedoms foundational to this nation’s democracy. Religious free-

dom is not only freedom to worship, but also free-dom to live one’s entire life according to one’s deepest convictions.

Catholic healthcare throughout many centuries and throughout the world has held women’s health-care in highest regard, along with men’s healthcare and children’s healthcare.

To denigrate this reality with inaccuracies, deceiv-ing the public, is something truly alarming.

Lions music ‘fest’ a roaring success

Three cheers to the “Lions” of Friday Harbor for organizing and making it possible to bring back a summer music festival.

Their pot calling our kettle black

Several local Republicans stopped by the Democratic Party booth at the county Fair to scold us for hav-ing Lovel Pratt and Howie Rosenfeld signs in our booth.

“It’s supposed to be a nonpartisan election,” they piously insisted.

So what’s different when the Republican Party invites Howie’s and Lovel’s oppo-nents to speak at their GOP Big Red Barn event? Can that not be construed as an endorsement?

Nonpartisan elections mean that candidates filing for political office do not state their political party

preference. Nonpartisan elections do not mean that political parties cannot sup-port and endorse candidates that they believe best reflect their values, perspectives, and positions on issues.

In the only other nonpar-tisan county council election in the state, in Whatcom County, Whatcom County Democrats have been endorsing council candi-dates for years. San Juan County Democrats find nonpartisan council elec-tions disingenuous at best.

For that reason and oth-ers, 37 of 39 counties in the state have partisan council/commission elections.

Partnership will not dictate policy

The announced partner-ship between PeaceHealth and Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) has raised concerns about PeaceHealth’s ability to maintain its independence. PeaceHealth is not being purchased by, nor is it merg-ing with CHI.

On the contrary, the 50-50 partnership will be between PeaceHealth and a portion of CHI, the Tacoma, Wash.-based Franciscan Health Services. The partnership will form a new Northwest-based healthcare organiza-tion in which PeaceHealth will continue its full range of healthcare services and its existing policies and practices. PeaceHealth will operate independently of the policies and practices of CHI.

Islanders can be assured that the partnership will not result in any changes to women’s reproductive

health services currently provided at the Inter-Island Medical Center in Friday Harbor, or any PeaceHealth facility, including Peace Island Medical Center when it opens later this year.

Overjoyed by warm welcome

Dear San Juan County Fair Staff, “Green Village” citizens, and all you island folk, on behalf of the staff and volunteers at RE Sources and The RE Store, I want to thank you for the warm welcome you gave our booth at the San Juan County Fair.

I must say, your fair is one of the most delightful throwbacks to bygone days

and a vibrant testimony to community spirit that is alive and well.

At the focus of our booth were two of the services The RE Store offers to the com-munity, at both ends of the salvage spectrum: decon-struction services and the creative reuse of these mate-rials. Both of these services stop materials from ending up in the landfill and repur-pose them for another use-ful go-around on our planet of overly stressed resources.

I greatly enjoyed facilitat-ing the connection of the diverse strands of human ingenuity and the saving of precious resources with the invaluable insight of the many fair going islanders (and mainland tourists as well) on a 10-foot-by-10-foot spot of San Juan Island realty for a short four days.

And so here again,

I extend many thanks to everyone that made this a memorable experience for RE Sources and The RE Store staff. You are dwell-ing on a lovely island in a dynamic community. We are on call to assist you in keeping both alive.

Healthy debateToday’s letter in the Journal from Peace

Island Medical Center’s Jim Barnhart is a welcome continuation of the dialogue

between PeaceHealth and this community, a dia-logue about the new hospital that has been pro-ductive, informative and respectful at every turn.

Because the people of this community have contributed $10 million to construction of the hospital, and will continue to contribute about $1 million every year in local property taxes to operate the facility, the community needs to be sure that its health care needs — health care needs of women included — will continue.

A 50-year contract has been negotiated between PeaceHealth and the hospital commis-sion, which now funds and is responsible for the Inter-Island Medical Center. All contractual provisions which deal with reproductive health care services should be made public. And any policies not now included in that contract should be added to make crystal clear what policies will govern PIMC in the future.

These policies and a proposed partnership between PeaceHealth and Franciscan Health Systems, a unit of Catholic Health Initiatives of Denver, Colo., is on the hospital commission’s Sept. 18 meeting agenda. Top executives from PeaceHealth will be there, as will a newly-formed group of concerned islanders.

Sept. 18 will be your chance to listen, under-stand, and present your views. Get involved. Your health, or your children’s health, may depend on it.

island with the largest population.”

According to the CRC, the “cure” for this dilemma was RCW 36.32.020, which made it possible for San Juan County to be an exception and have unequal districts with residency require-ments. RCW 36.32.020 and residency requirements from the old system do not address the acknowledged issue.

Upon a request for an opinion, the CRC ignored key elements of Prosecuting Attorney Randall Gaylord’s response. In his April 19, 2012 Memorandum, Gaylord stated while at-large systems do not “per-se” violate the one-person-one-vote requirements, “the actual operation of such a plan may provide the basis for a constitu-tional challenge.”

Ignored by the CRC, in the various opinions pre-sented by Gaylord’s research, are statements such as; “At-large voting schemes and multi-member districts tend to minimize the vot-ing strength of any minor-ity group within the district by allowing the majority to elect all the representatives of the district.” One cannot ignore the fact that our old three-district at-large sys-tem was an extreme case of district population disparity of a proportion rarely if ever seen in the United States.

In short, RCW 36.32.020, which is held up by the CRC as the ultimate document

proving the CRC’s case, is like getting away with pass-ing by the cop at 80 mph and then believing 80 mph is legal.

A 1990 opinion by then State Attorney Kenneth Eikenberry refers to older cases, including one from Alabama as the basis for stating that San Juan County’s old at-large sys-tem might be okay back then. Today, and accord-ing to other legal opinions which the CRC ignored, it is irresponsible to assume that returning to the old, wildly unequal three dis-tricts would survive a new legal test. This is why our state law is seated in the “Revised” Code of Washington (RCW).

Grateful for your generous support

On behalf of all the injured, ill and orphaned animals at Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, I’d like to express heart-felt gratitude to the many island residents who stepped up in response to our recent letter and donat-ed funds to help feed and medicate through the busy summer months.

Like many other non-profits, Wolf Hollow has been hit hard by the strug-gling economy and has faced dramatic cut-backs in funding. Thanks to those of

you who have supported us in the past and continue to do so, we can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being and get back to the impor-tant work of promoting the well-being of wildlife and their habitat in the three counties we serve.

Thank you all — so much.

Didn’t work then, won’t work now

You may remember the confusion and chaos which had escalated prior to Home Rule, when the Board of County Commissioners wore all the hats. Our prior governmental system was established in the 1800s, when the commissioners were elected to simply over-see the roads. Things have changed since then – nota-bly we now have a $45 mil-lion county budget, which necessitates professional management.

The Home Rule Charter we adopted in 2005 embraced the sound fed-eral and state principle of separation of powers. The charter created three effi-cient branches of govern-ment — the legislative branch to create the laws (county council); the execu-tive branch to carry out the laws and manage the coun-ty (county Administrator); and the judicial branch to interpret the laws (hearing examiner).

Unfortunately, some members of the CRC want to take a giant step

backwards. Proposition 2 would annihilate the con-stitutional principal of separation of powers. The power granted by the citi-zens to the administrator would be given back to the council. This is a really bad idea.

These are not the old days. Citizens deserve to have one professional indi-vidual at the helm who has the education, background and credentials to prop-erly run our county. This individual must be given the power to carry out the laws. It is unfortunate but true that the former BOCC refused to cede power to the administrator, but these things take time.

As Pete Rose said, six years is the blink of an eye in government. Give it time. It is working. It will work even better when new coun-cil members are elected this fall.

Please do not give the council the power to micro-manage county depart-ment heads. The council must stay out of day-to-day county business. It did not work then and it will not work now. What successful company is run by three presidents?

Separation of powers is a sound principle. Please reject Proposition 2. We must move forward, not backward.

As I See It

By Gordy PetersenStrip away the politics and islanders are all decent and

exceptional people. One thing we all have in common is that our highest priority in life is not what we do but where we live.

As independent islanders we will always disagree and argue about every issue. But losing control of our local government means that we can’t do much about it anymore. The good news is that we can take control again.

The people’s control of our government is the core prin-ciple of Home Rule. I believe we have lost it and become increasingly divided because of the way the charter was set up. Here’s why.

Since the inception of San Juan County, voters had the ability to control their own destiny by voting for all of their representatives. The Charter changed that. Now we can only vote for one and we are divided into six small districts pitted against each other.

Not only do we have geography separating us, we now have our government structure working to divide us.

Under a flawed charter we have created an artificial way to divide ourselves.

The islands need to be unified. The charter damaged this concept. We should never forget that our islands, with their diverse inter-dependent communities, must be unified in the way they are gov-erned. The people we elect should always act in the best interest of the entire county, not just their own island.

The recommended changes to the charter are simple, tried and

true. Reduce the size of the council. Limit the power of the administrator and put it more clearly into the hands of the leaders we elect to delegate as they see fit.

Make government transparent. Give control back to the people. And most importantly, bring our islands together again. Please consider voting in favor of the three charter amendments.

By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

In a big game marked by big plays, none proved any bigger than Jacob Justiniano’s fumble recovery on the 1-yard that kept the Wolverines game-winning touchdown drive alive.

Unless, of course, you're partial to the defensive side of the ball. Then it would be a sack by Friday Harbor line-backer Nate Steenkolk that dropped Lynden Christian quarterback Issac Reimer for a 6-yard loss and that effectively took the wind out of the sails of what only moments before appeared to be another score-tying drive by the Lyncs.

Either way, those two big plays, combined with sev-eral others, like C.J. Woods’ 16-yard TD pass to receiver Donald Galt on fourth-and-eight, added up to win No. 2 of the season for the Wolverines, as they out-dueled Lynden Christian

21-14 in a see-saw battle, Friday, under the lights in Friday Harbor.

“I was blocking ahead and then turned around and I saw it lying there,” Justiniano said of the drive-saving fumble recovery. “So I just grabbed it.”

Along with that all-impor-tant fumble recovery, which turned into a go-ahead touchdown when senior Micah Powell plunged into the end zone on the next play, with just three min-utes remaining in the game, Justiniano came up with an interception in the first half on a pass deflected by team-mate Noah Stone.

In addition to hauling in a touchdown pass that put the Wolverines out in front 14-7 at the half, Galt had a pair of interceptions, including the game-clinching pick on Reimer’s ‘Hail Mary’ pass on fourth down and a mile to go, in the closing seconds of the contest.

With the win, the Wolverines improved to 2-0 on the season. They also gained a leg up over the Lyncs in the 1A regional playoff race. The two teams will square off one more time this season, Oct. 26, at Lynden Christian, in the

regular-season finale. Next: Bragging rights will be on

the line when the Wolverines host Orcas in the annual inter-island grudge match, the Island Cup, Friday; kick off is 6:45 p.m. at the Friday Harbor football field.

Fall 2012Sports Preview

10 — Wednesday, September 12, 2012 FALL SPORTS PREVIEW The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com

With two wins in their first two games of the 2012

season, the Wolverines may have taken some Friday Harbor football fans by surprise.

But not Head Coach Darrin Scheffer, who credits a change here and there in the starting lineup for the team’s quick start.

Most notably, senior Donald Galt, the team’s starting quarterback the past two seasons, and junior C.J. Woods, a wide receiver and backup QB a year ago, swapped positions. The two combined for a touchdown pass in each of the first two games. Galt, who picked off two passes in the team’s sec-ond win, will anchor the defense at the safety posi-tion again this season.

“The way they played meets where my expecta-

tion is for this group of guys,” Scheffer said on the

heels of the Wolverines impressive season-opening 21-0 victory on the road over Anacortes, a 2A team. “I’d say we’re optimistically enthused about where we are right now, recognizing there are some mistakes that we need to take care of.”

Mistakes, meaning yellow flags.

While the defense pitched a shutout in Anacortes, pen-alties stripped the offensive unit of a couple of com-pleted passes and a signifi-cant chunk of yardage. And even though the Wolverines were far from flawless in the penalty department in their following game, a 21-14 tri-umph at home over 1A rival Lynden Christian, they never trailed and the defensive unit turned in its best perfor-mance of the game on the

Lyncs final possession, and with the game on the line.

Still, a win is a win, as the saying goes, in spite of yellow flags. And the Wolverines are 2-0 with seven regular-season match ups still to come. The team finished the 2011 season at 3-10 and man-

aged no more than three wins in each of the past three seasons.

Friday Harbor will next face a pair of familiar Division 2B foes, hosting the Vikings of Orcas Island in the annual Island Cup, Sept. 14, followed by a road

There is of course a flip-side to not hav-ing a single senior on

your team in any given year. When the next season rolls around, as it invariably does, chances are your lineup is ready to roll, battle-tested from top to bottom and loaded with experience.

So, it’s safe to say Head Coach Travis Mager is beyond delighted. He wel-comes back not just the heart of the Wolverines scrappy starting lineup of a year ago, but all six starters and, in Allie Galt, the addi-tion of an athletic and tall freshman too.

Don’t be surprised if you notice a bit of a swagger in their step and twinkle in their collective eye when

the Friday Harbor volley-ball team takes the court in 2012. There’s reason for it.

“This team has tons and tons of court time,” Mager said. “The girls have a full-grasp of what they’re doing out there now. I think you’ll see a huge difference in the level of play.”

The Wolverines can count on having experience on their side as four-year var-sity veteran Kaylen Meeker, an all-league honorable mention a year ago, returns to the starting rotation along with fellow seniors Ashleigh Brown, Jean Melborne, Lizzy Starr and Sierra Truesdale, and junior Kendra Meeker and sopho-more Maddie Williamson. With Galt in the mix, Friday Harbor adds another layer

They look like athletes. Fast athletes.If one were to watch the Friday Harbor girls soc-

cer team practice alongside new head coach Paul Hopkins, it’s easy to see why he enters his first varsity sea-son with optimism.

“They practice hard and they’re all in shape,” says Hopkins, who coached more than half of the 17 varsity and 18 junior varsity players as they rose through the ranks of the island’s youth soccer leagues.

“They’re all fast,” Hopkins adds when asked about team speed, a key characteristic of winning soccer teams. “Even our fastest girls, Emily Guard and Tegan Serna, are only marginally faster than their teammates.”

Hopkins inherits a program in which winning has become tradition. The Wolverines won four consecutive league championships, either outright or as co-champion, in the six years that Mark Fishaut coached the team. They share the 2011 title with La Conner. Hopkins assures he’s not trying to match Fishaut’s record, which included two coach-of-the-year awards.

“I thank Mark for the solid program he built, and I want these girls to win for themselves,” he said. “It’s always more fun to play a sport if you win.”

“Nobody wins every game,” continued Hopkins, “but

Dick Barnes’ 25th season as tennis coach at Friday

Harbor High School nearly came to an end, even before it began.

“Tennis nearly died last week,” said the longtime coach known as “Mr. Tennis” to a generation of local high school ten-nis aspirants, when only returning players Cody Coyne and Sean Hills showed up for the team’s first practice.

But Coyne and Hills did some networking, and Barnes recruited Spring Street International School students Kerry Wang and Bruce Yao, both from China. Kyle Jangard, a 6-foot 3-inch ninth grader who decided tennis might help his basketball aspira-

tions, also signed up, and two more recruits are expected before the team’s first match of the season. Suddenly, a team of eight emerged.

One of the new players,

Kerry Wang, an 8th grader, petitioned the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association for a waiver to play with the high-schoolers. Barnes thinks the waiver will be granted.

Getting kids hooked on the game at an early age may be the best hope for keep-ing the school’s venerable tennis program alive.

“I’ve said for years that I’m coaching these kids to give them a game they can play for a lifetime,” said Barnes, noting that he played in high school and college partly because there were so few players.

With their first two matches postponed because of lack of bodies, the Wolverines will open the season either on Sept. 17 at South Whidbey, or Sept. 21, at home, against Coupeville.

Although Barnes may be turning over every stone in town to cement a roster, this year’s squad can expect to benefit from loads of

competition because of its thin ranks. Graduation stripped the team of its top two singles players of a year ago and one-half of its No. 1 doubles tandem. That means competition for every slot will be wide open

Hills, a junior and heir apparent for the No.1 singles spot, played along-side senior Ryan Cole last

year, as the other half of the Wolverines top doubles team. Coyne, a senior and third year player, will likely inherit the No. 2 singles slot, or perhaps claim the lead singles position.

How the rest shakes out is anyone’s guess, even for Mr. Tennis.

Mark and Sarah (Ware, who continues as assistant coach) showed these girls how to win.”

Longtime youth soccer coach Emily Carrington will lead the JV squad.

Last year, the Wolverines went 5-1 in league play and 7-6-2 overall — some of those losses coming against several 2A schools, like South Whidbey. The Wolverines lose to gradu-ation three of four 2011 all-league players and standout goalie Rhianna Franklin (six shutouts in 2011) graduated, but Emily Guard, all-league as a soph-omore, is back, along with three seniors who started as juniors.

Bolstering team strength are three senior starters who played as sophomores, but spent 2011 overseas as exchange students: co-captains Ellen Goudie and Miranda McPadden, and Katrina Wakeman.

— Steve Wehrly

of height and greater pres-ence at the net in its quest to improve on last year’s over-all record of 3-10, and its 3-6 mark in league play.

Mager, now in his eighth year at the helm, says expe-rience and the cohesiveness of this year’s squad trans-lates into starting off the season at a point far beyond where the team generally would be at the beginning of a fall campaign. He said the players have moved on

to a more sophisticated style of play.

“It’s not so much about the fundamentals anymore,” he said. “It’s more about the mental aspects of the game, and about learning how to read and react, how to play with confidence.”

While the team returns intact, the Wolverines’ 14-game regular-season schedule is anything but familiar. With exception of Orcas, whom Friday Harbor battles twice this year, start-ing with a rare season-opener at home, Sept. 11, the Wolverines will play

each regular-season oppo-nent just one time in 2012, including six of seven league foes.

Also new this season, clinching a berth in post-season play will, unlike past years, depend on the team’s performance against six regional 1A rivals, including perennial pow-erhouse Lynden Christian and newcomers Blaine and Mount Baker, both former 2A teams which are, due to enrollment declines, com-peting this year on the 1A level.

game in La Conner, Sept. 21. They then test their mettle against a slate of regional 1A opponents, which include Meridian, Nooksack Valley and a rematch against Lynden Christian on the road, Oct. 26, in the final game of the regular season.

The Wolverines post-season prospects

rest this year on the outcome of their games against the three Whatcom County rivals mentioned above, as well as against two teams that, due to enrollment decline at their respective schools, are competing at the 1A level this year. They host the Borderites of Blaine on Oct. 5 and travel to Mount Baker the following week to face the Mountaineers.

Expect Friday Harbor to rely on its ground game. The one-two backfield combination of senior Micah Powell and junior Nate Steenkolk proved a formidable weapon in the Wolverines first two wins

While a change or two in the starting lineup may have helped Friday Harbor to fuel its fast start, Powell says his-tory and pride are also at stake for players who tasted success in their formative years, as part of the Tigers program.

“We’ve been looking for-ward to this year forever,” he said.

n Admission: Adult, $26, Students, $13; $5 student RUSH

Chamber Music San Juans’ 25th anniversary season takes a soul turn, as two internationally acclaimed musicians navigate between contemporary classical works and bossa nova masters.

“For the Soul” brings together bassoon virtuoso Martin Kuuskmann and master pianist, composer and arranger Jovino Santos Neto. The two will present music from Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, as well as from bossa nova masters Antonio Carlos Jobim, Hermeto Pascoal and Santos Neto, himself.

“There will also be a fair amount of improvisation,” Kuuskmann said. “This will be for the souls of everyone between 10 and 110 years old.”

Born in Estonia, Kuuskmann has performed worldwide, earning a reputation as one of the leading instrumentalists around. The New York Times has praised Kuuskmann’s playing as “dynamic...amazing...gripping.” In 2007, he received a Grammy nomination for his recording of Chesky’s bassoon concerto.

Santos Neto is a three-time Latin Grammy nominee who was recently inducted into the Seattle Jazz Hall of Fame. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Neto, now a Seattle resident, leads an award-winning Brazilian jazz group, Quinteto, and teaches piano and composition at Cornish College of the Arts.

NOTIFICATION OF INTENT TO OBTAIN CUSTODY.

Per RCW 79.100, San Juan County intends to take custody of the dere- lict vessel “Johnny Schwarr”, with registration # WN7709S, on Septem- ber 30, 2012. The vessel is moored illegally in Friday Harbor, San Juan County. After taking custody, San Juan County may use or dispose of it without further notice. To retain custody of this vessel be- fore the Custody Date, the owner must: 1) obtain authorization to moor or anchor the vessel in its cur- rent location, or 2) move it to a moor- age facility that has authorized the vessel, or 3) remove the vessel from the water. To redeem the vessel once San Juan County has taken custody, per RCW 53.08.320 (5) (b), the owner

must commence a lawsuit to contest San Juan County’s decision to obtain custody of the vessel, or the amount of reimbursement owed, in the su- perior court of the county in which the vessel was located. The written request can be submitted immediate- ly but cannot be filed any later than the tenth day after the date of custo- dy, which will be October 10, 2012. The right to a hearing is deemed waived if a request is submitted late, and the owner is liable for any costs owed to San Juan County. These costs may include all administrative costs incurred by San Juan County, removal and disposal costs, and costs associated with environmental damages directly or indirectly caused by the vessel. In the event of litigation, the prevail- ing party is entitled to reasonable at- torneys’ fees and costs. San Juan County reserves the right to pursue any other remedies available under law.

Island Artisans, a local non-profit which awards scholarships to support stu-dents interested in the arts, wants to raise $1,000 to cover space rental and janitorial expenses for its November Holiday Marketplace — and the San Juan Community Foundation has offered a 50 percent match for each donation.

You give $1, the com-munity foundation gives 50 cents. If 35 people donate just $20, the foundation will add $350. Artisans goal is $1,000.

Adding proceeds from the group’s annual raffle means Island Artisans can donate 100 percent of the Holiday Marketplace income to scholarships. Any additional money is also matched by the foundation, all of it going towards scholarships.

The window of match-ing opportunity is limited to September 1 through September 15. To be match-eligible, the donation must be made in one of three ways: (1) check marked “For Island Artisans” payable to San Juan Island Community

Foundation, mailed to P.O. Box 1352, Friday Harbor, 98250; (2) cash at the founda-tion office, 640 Mullis Street, Suite 104, Friday Harbor; (3) credit card at the founda-tion office or through the foundation’s website Giving Center at www.sjicf.org.

And don’t forget that the Holiday Marketplace also supports more than 50 local artisans, helping your neighbors and keeping your holiday spending in the community.

Island Artisans appreci-ates your time and willing-

ness to contribute to support artists and creative thinkers of all ages. Thank you!
