Winter Sports PreviewLet the games begin; inside

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

Harbor winter sports.

New season, lofty goals, rugged rivalsA walk in the park? Far from it. For the Friday Harbor girls basketball team, competition at the 2B level

means going toe-to-toe with some of the state’s toughest teams in both the

2B and 1B divisions, and with the outcome of each and every game having impact

on its position in the Northwest 2B/1B League standings and on its prospects of

post-season play. Mount Vernon Christian lost only one starter from a team that finished last

season as runner-up in the 1B state tournament. La Conner’s Anna Cook, league

MVP a year ago, returns for a senior season, as does Shoreline Christian senior

Sarah Ott, a prolific scorer since her freshman year. Orcas and Darrington prom-

ise to be no pushover as well. “It’s a really strong league,” Head Coach Eric Jangard said. “It’s going to be a

tough road.” And, that’s a rough road ahead even when–or if–the Wolverines get to full

strength. Friday Harbor enters the season with two of its top players, 6-foot junior

Allie Galt (ankle) and 5-foot 11-inch sophomore Hayden Mayer (hip), either side-

lined or playing limited minutes because of respective injuries.

Still, once the two are both on the court, joining junior Madie Kincaid on the

Tearing apart a boat that’s past its prime is nothing new for Michael Durland.

In fact, it’s more akin to busi-ness as usual at Orcas Island’s Deer Harbor Boatworks, where, over the course of two days, Nov. 13-14, Durland and crew demolished five boats whose owners had surrendered various vessels they could no longer maintain or dispose of themselves to the grindstone of the state-funded voluntary turn-in program coordinated by San Juan County’s derelict vessel removal program.

Four made of fiberglass, measuring 21 to 27 feet in length, respectively, proved rather routine and crumbled quickly, but even the old-hands at Deer Harbor winced a bit when it came time to gut and disassemble a 38-foot wooden Owens cabin cruiser whose former glory was only faintly eclipsed by the passing of time.

“It’s a shame to have to bust that one up,” Durland said. “It had really good mahogany and some other real nice features on it. We salvaged what we could. But it’s a good thing, the program, because some of these boats would just end up sinking.”

The voluntary “Turn In Option” is a new twist and incentive recently added to

“Honk if you like quiet skies” was written in bright letters and posted outside of the Lopez Center for Community and the Arts where the Navy held its first ever scoping meeting on Lopez on Dec. 3.

Just a few feet down the road, dressed in down jackets and fleece gloves and hats, Stanley and Kip Greenthal pass out blue papers labeled Growler EIS Scoping Meeting.

”This is our chance to show the Navy that we are impacted and do not want an escalation of noise and over flights from more Growlers,” said the flyer. “Our attendance will show that we are not wiling to give up our quality of life and become collateral damage.”

The noise from thousands of engine tests and train-ing runs by new EA 18G Growlers and other planes at Naval Air Station Whidbey and Outlying Landing Field Coupeville has generated outcry this year, mainly from Lopez Island. At a meeting held by Rep. Rick Larsen in early October, Lopezians asked for the Navy to come to Lopez to discuss the noise pollution from the aircraft.

Inside the community center, 25 representatives for the Navy have answered those request and speak with islanders at different booths labeled public involvement, Growler operations and aircraft noise.

There are also about five police officers standing around the room. According to Navy Public Affairs Officer Ted Brown, the Navy always has some type of law

More Growlers, less noise?

The cause of death has yet to be determined, but the demise of yet another member of the Southern resident killer whales marks a new low point for a population that shows little, if any, sign of recovery.

The body of J-32, an 18-year-old female, was found Thursday, Dec. 4, near Courtenay, British Columbia, roughly 70 miles north of the city of Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island. Results of a necropsy performed

two days later reveal that the orca was carrying a near full-term baby at the time of its death.

The orca is believed to have died no more than two days before its body was discovered.

The death of J-32, also known as Rhapsody, stands as the second loss for the “endangered” popula-tion in about a month, and the

fourth in 2014.Equally alarming for many

killer whale advocates is that the Southern residents have not had a newborn in more than two years that has survived for more than two months.

The population now totals 77, a 30-year low.

Washington state’s 12-year-old derelict ves-sel removal program. It’s designed to take boats of 45 feet or less, which have fallen into disrepair, off the hands of Washington residents that lack the financial resources to repair and maintain them.

When a 28-foot wooden cabin cruiser was demolished at Friday Harbor’s Jensen’s Shipyard in June, it marked a first for par-ticipation by San Juan County in the DVRP turn-in program. Since then, another six boats in the San Juans, the five demolished at Deer Harbor included, have been dis-posed of under the voluntary program.

With seven boats now to its name, San Juan leads the state’s 39 counties in partici-pation in the voluntary program.

Marc Forlenza, manager of the county DVRP, said the county avoids tapping its own limited DVRP funds by utilizing the state-funded voluntary turn-in program and that mass demolitions, like the one at Deer Harbor Boatworks, which maintains a state-licensed demo facility, also proves more cost-effective for the state Department of Natural Resources. The agency, which manages the DVRP, has been afforded only $200,000 for the voluntary program in its most recent two-year budget.

In addition to boats that have been demolished, Forlenza said that owners of four other “vessels of concern” have removed those boats from local waters at their own expense.

“Working closely with the DNR and (ves-sel turn-in program) is a win-win situation

for the state, county, and the environment,” Forlenza said.

About 33 boat owners have applied, state-wide, to the turn-in program since it first debuted in May. A total of 19 boats have been demolished, five are in the demo queue and nine applicants either with-drew or did not qualify. Roughly $135,000 remains in the DNR turn-in program fund, according to DNR’s Tammy Robbins, pro-gram manager.

Forlenza notes that not a single derelict vessel has sunk in San Juan County waters in 2014, which overlaps with the emergence of both the turn-in program and an addi-tional DVRP prevention program funded by a People for Puget Sound grant.

“The local derelict vessel prevention por-tion of the program has proved to be a success and should be continued,” he said. “Unfortunately, funding could end in June of next year when the current grant from (People for Puget Sound) expires.”

enforcement at their meetings.More growlers?County Councilman Jamie Stephens said that the Navy’s visit

to Lopez is thanks to Rep. Rick Larsen’s push for the event.“I think this is progress,” said Stephens watching as

Lopezians approach the various booths. “The number of

people that have showed up is impressive.”The meeting coincides with Larsen’s vote on Dec. 4 to

allow the purchase of five additional A-18G Growlers. This brings the total number of Growlers that Congress will pur-chase from 135 to 140.

“Congress’ decision to buy five more Growlers indicates the planes’ importance to our national defense in this age of new technology, and continues to underscore the national commitment to maintaining Naval Air Station Whidbey Island as one of our country’s preeminent Navy bases,” Larsen said in a recent press release. “I want to be clear this does not mean NASWI will automatically house five more Growlers. The number of Growlers at NASWI will be deter-mined by the ongoing Environmental Impact Study, which has provided multiple opportunities for public input.”

Currently, there are 82 Growlers actively flying out of NASWI and 12 used as backup.

The noiseOver the last several months the San Juan County Council

collected data from islanders on a jet noise complaint web-site and sent that information to Navy officials and Larsen.

The website received 871 reports mostly concentrated on the south end of Lopez. Two hundred and eighteen of those reports came from 6 a.m. to noon and 224 came after 9 p.m. The data also shows that 150 people reported a low rumble and 240 reported extremely loud noise.

Stephens hopes the meeting on Lopez is a step closer to mitigate the noise pollution. He hopes the Navy will imple-ment Hush Houses to reroute the noise from the revving of engines upward and thus creating less sound pollution, and structures at the end of the runway that you see at commer-cial airports that push the noise upwards. .

At the Aircraft Noise booth there is sign explaining that a noise study will be conducted as part of the EIS and will evaluate sleep disturbance, indoor speech interference and classroom listening interference.

Stephens hopes that the Navy will test noises levels on Lopez that is the equivalent to what people are actu-ally hearing. He is concerned that the Growlers are causing problems both on land and sea.

“The noise is affecting us so it has to be affecting marine life,” said Stephens.

The scoping processThe highlight of the meeting for Stephens is that the Navy

has extended the scoping process allowing people to add official comments. Islanders could have a stenographer record their comment or write it down themselves. People also have until Jan. 9 to submit their comments online at www.whidbeyeis.com or by mail to EA-18G Growler EIS Project Manager, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Atlantic, 6506 Hampton Boulevard, Norfolk, VA 23508 Attn: Code EV21/SS.

“This is dire,” said Ken Balcomb, director of San Juan Island-based Center for Whale Research. “We should have had eight babies in that two years time. Obviously, you can’t have a population without any recruitment.”

Listed endangered in the U.S. in 2005, the southern residents consist of three tightly knit clans, J, K and L pods. The population was afforded protection under

federal law in the wake of a 20 percent decline in the mid 1990s. As of 2010, the population totaled 87 animals. The southern Residents are designated endangered by Washington state and in Canada as well.

In mid-October, the pop-ulation’s only newborn in nearly two years, L-120, first spotted Sept. 6, vanished and has not been seen since. Its mother and other members of its family have been identi-fied and photographed since the birth of L-120, but unac-companied by the calf.

J-32 was last identified and photographed by the Center for Whale Research in late November, near Victoria, at the south end of Vancouver Island. It was among fellow J-pod members at that time. Researchers speculated that the female was in late stag-es of pregnancy this past summer because of a wider-than-normal girth that was visible when it breached.

Balcomb, who attended the Dec. 6 necropsy, said that J-32 appears to have died from complications that arose, possibly an infec-tion, after the baby it was

carrying died in the womb.The female’s uterus,

where remains of the near full-term baby were lodged, was removed for further examination. Results of that study should reveal whether J-32, which had not before given birth, had any prior miscarriages, he said.

J-32 was two years old when its mother died, in 1998. The young killer whale was then raised by an aunt, J-22, also known as Oreo. Two J-pod cousins, J-34, Doublestuff, and J-38, Cookie, and J-22, are the only remaining members of the J-10 matriline.

By Bob Jarman, County Councilman, District 1Special to the Journal

In February of this year, the council began signing off on marijuana grow license requests we received from the state.

We did not turn down any requests, although there were questions on one application that had been sent to the town instead of the county.

In the process of working with the Washington state Liquor Board, it became clear that the state was not going to be involved in issues regarding land-use or the type of facilities in which cannabis would be grown. No guidance had been offered by the state as to location of facilities, requirements and permitting regarding lighting, exhaust, water usage, security, parking, traffic, etc.

Important questions being asked by potential growers and their neighbors could not be answered because San Juan County has no regulations on marijuana grow facili-ties.

I proposed a limited moratorium on issuing greenhouse permits in order to give the county and the planning com-mission an opportunity to review the issues and develop a balanced policy regarding growing facilities. The same approach would have been applied to any new unregulated, large-scale business (agricultural or otherwise) that may have a significant impact on neighborhoods.

Likewise, the proposed moratorium was intended to give all parties an opportunity to address growers’ concerns and provide assurances regarding permitting.

This is not a simple business. The USDA and the

Washington Department of Revenue have both determined that cannabis production is not an agricultural business, but a light-industrial business.

The council works on a 3-touch system towards adopt-ing any proposed ordinance: an issue is introduced and if a majority wants to consider it further, the issue is moved on to a 2nd touch for review after county staff has had an opportunity to research the issue and bring forward a staff report.

During the interim between the review and consider-ation of an ordinance, more discussion may be involved, and more information is gathered. The planning commis-sion (or other advisory committees such as, in this case, the Agricultural Resource Committee) may be asked to study and address the issue.

Public input is encouraged. If the issue rises to the level of council action, it is scheduled for a legally required public hearing to consider the ordinance and allow for continued public testimony. Throughout the process, a proposed ordi-nance can move forward toward adoption or defeat.

The council has not reached the third touch in the pro-cess. If a moratorium is deemed advisable, the issue would be passed on to the planning commission for direction concerning land use regulation.

In addition, a moratorium cannot be retroactive. Therefore, it would not affect existing operations unless they wished to expand.

Our citizens’ mandates are the priority of the council. We (I) are not against the propagation and selling of marijuana. We (I) are not trying to undermine the rights of growers. Nor are we ignoring the concerns of the growers’ neighbors.

I believe in property rights and in being good neighbors. Any assertion that I proposed a moratorium because I had

a “small minority of people complaining against cannabis farming in their neighborhoods” is a red herring argument.

There are many unanswered questions regarding very important issues that should be addressed before growers spend thousands of dollars putting in facilities without any direction or guarantees. To do otherwise seems irrespon-sible for all parties concerned.

I was elected as a council member to represent all San Juan County residents. I have followed the mandate of the voters and I am working to find the best solution to land -use issues as they pertain to marijuana cultivation.

The county is not trying to make marijuana/cannabis illegal, nor does the council even have the legislative power to do so. Initiative 502 is state law and has the higher authority. There will be ample public notice for people to express their opinions and concerns regarding the proposed moratorium to the council during the “next touch.”

Until then, I am available at my office and at any of the following phone numbers: office 370-7473; cell 298-1698; home 378-2952. I am also available via email: [email protected], and [email protected].

I invite Mr. Nollman (“Alarm sounded in new era of ‘NIMBY’,” Dec. 3, pg. 7) and any involved citizen to engage in an open discussion. All council meetings are open and live-streamed through the county website.

— Editor’s note: The County Council will conduct two work-shops on the topic of marijuana cultivation and the moratorium proposal, Jan. 12 and Jan. 26, at the county legislative building.

As I See It

Balance sought in cultivation conundrumMoratorium would allow time to decide if stricter rules on pot production are needed

New season, lofty goals, rugged rivalsA walk in the park? Far from it.

For the Friday Harbor girls basketball team, competition at the 2B level means going toe-to-toe with some of the state’s toughest teams in both the

2B and 1B divisions, and with the outcome of each and every game having impact on its position in the Northwest 2B/1B League standings and on its prospects of post-season play.

Mount Vernon Christian lost only one starter from a team that finished last season as runner-up in the 1B state tournament. La Conner’s Anna Cook, league MVP a year ago, returns for a senior season, as does Shoreline Christian senior Sarah Ott, a prolific scorer since her freshman year. Orcas and Darrington prom-ise to be no pushover as well.

“It’s a really strong league,” Head Coach Eric Jangard said. “It’s going to be a tough road.”

And, that’s a rough road ahead even when–or if–the Wolverines get to full strength. Friday Harbor enters the season with two of its top players, 6-foot junior Allie Galt (ankle) and 5-foot 11-inch sophomore Hayden Mayer (hip), either side-lined or playing limited minutes because of respective injuries.

Still, once the two are both on the court, joining junior Madie Kincaid on the Journal photo / Scott RasmussenFrom left; Hannah Hopkins, Taylor Turnbull, Kiana Woods, Ella Hu, Hayden Mayer, Madie Kincaid Allie Galt, Lili Wood, Savannah Hoffman, Alexa Mora, Madden Shanks. See RIVALS, Page 8

front line, Friday Harbor will have one of the tallest, athletic and more battle-tested lineups of all seven teams gunning for 2014-15 league title. Coming off last year’s up and down performance (the Wolverines were 8-14 a year ago) Jangard, now in his 9th year at the helm, is eager to have all the pieces of that would-be starting lineup in place.

“If we can get the two of those girls healthy we can put some of our length to work,” he said.

In addition to height and experience in the paint, Friday Harbor should benefit from having a pair of savvy ball-handlers and proven scorers in the backcourt. The team’s only senior, Madden Shanks, is an offensive threat off the dribble and from beyond the 3-point arc, and junior Taylor Turnbull, steeled by extensive play-ing time last year, inherits the point-guard position and will run the show.

With sophomore Lili Wood in the starting rotation, the Wolverines will also have synchronicity on their side, as 4-of-5 starters (Galt included) played together on the volleyball team.

What the Wolverines don’t have a great deal of, however, is depth. Sophomores Alexa Mora and Hannah Hopkins will be first off the bench and into the game in backup roles, and after that, the duty falls into the hands of three freshmen making a debut on the varsity squad this season, Savannah Hoffman, Ella Hu and Kiana Woods.

The Wolverines opened the season with back-to-back games in the Friday Harbor Tip-off Classic, Dec. 5-6. After that, it’s a two-game season series, 12 league games in all, one home and one on the road, against each of the team’s six league rivals in just two months time, beginning with the Ott-led Crusaders at home, Dec. 9, followed by a road trip to Concrete, and then back home to battle the Loggers, Dec. 16.

Call it a carrot. Call it a stick. However you define it, Coach Tayne Pyle appears to have an exceeding effective

motivational tool to prepare the Wolverines for the season ahead. “I keep telling them that their mirror image, the person they’ll be on the mat wrestling

against, that when they’re done with their practice and go home, well, then they have to go out and shovel snow or chop some wood,” Pyle said. “I think that’s gotten their attention. Everybody’s working real hard.”

Pyle is referring to the Lions and Loggers, of course, of Concrete and Darrington, respec-tively. Though smaller is size than many opposing schools, the foothills of the northwest Cascades are home to a pair of wrestling programs that year-after-year produce top-notch teams, individual award-winners and many of the region’s fiercest competitors.

Division 2B competition has meant significant change in regular-season opponents and post-season prospects for many of Friday Harbor’s athletic teams. Not so much for the Wolverines wrestlers.

“We’re still grinding it out with Concrete and Darrington,” Pyle said. That grind gets under way Wednesday, Dec. 10, as Friday Harbor opens the 2014-15

season by hosting the first of its six regular-season “dual” matches, featuring grapplers from no fewer than four different teams. The Wolverines will also compete at two invitational meets, along with more than a half-dozen teams, as well as at a Darrington-hosted tournament and an end-of-the-regu-lar-season league tournament hosted by the Loggers as well.

The Loggers and Lions, and the Braves

of La Conner, will square off against the Wolverines in the Dec. 10 season opener, which begins at 5:30 p.m. in Hall Gym.

For about half the team, the season opener will offer a first-ever taste of competition at the high school level. The Wolverines seasoned veterans, like senior Alejandro “Fez” Orozco (172), juniors Ben Ware (132) and Thomas Synoground (138), and sophomore James “Mr. Clutch” Guard (113) and Chris Hallock, will be joined by a corps of newcomers

making a debut on the mat. Pyle, now in his sec-

ond year of sharing coach-ing duties with longtime wrestling guru and fellow coach Neil MacDiarmid, sees more than a few diamonds in rough and plenty of raw talent in

the roster’s new addi-tions. Agile, athletic and aggressive, freshman Noe Lopez (145) has already shown that he’ll be a force to be reckoned with, Pyle said, and sophomore Hunter Rustad, fresh off the grid-iron and battle-tested on the football field, is expected to make an impact in the 195-pound weight division.

A total of 19 athletes turned out to compete on this year’s squad, a tally that includes three female wrestlers, senior Haley Pyle (160) and Sara Rist (152), both of whom wrestled for the team a year ago, and newcomer Angela Hoke, a freshman targeted to com-pete in the 145-pound weight class.

On the eve of the sea-

son opener, the Wolverines, even if slightly fewer in number (the roster totaled 22 a year ago) somewhat short on experience, are missing competitors in only two weight categories, including the 120-pound slot.

And, for the first time in recent memory, the Wolverines will be a heavy-weight, at 225 pounds or

more. Football standout Nate Steenkolk competed in the top weight catego-ry a year ago, in a senior-year wrestling debut, and before that Willy Dunn, one of the most highly deco-rated Friday Harbor wres-tlers ever, ruled the region’s heavyweight division dur-ing his four-year tenure on the team.

Nevertheless, the infusion

of new faces and enthusi-asm for the sport has Pyle excited for the program’s future.

“We’ve got lots of little ‘9s’ and ‘10s’,” Pyle said about the number of freshmen and sophomores. “I guess you’d call it a growing year for us. But they’re all work-ing real hard. And, in wres-tling hard work pays off.”

A dash of speed on the wings. A bit of flash in the backcourt.

And, perhaps most heartening of all, a whole lot of height down in the paint.

Sure, every team likes its chances at the start of a new season. Friday Harbor is no different in that regard. But having a bounty of proven assets to wield would appear to make a healthy dose of optimism for the prospects ahead something more than a simple inclination for pre-season wishful thinking.

“We’re optimistic, pretty much like every-one else is at the start of the season,” Coach Rod Turnbull said. “We’re a little taller than we’ve been in the past, we have some expe-rienced players and so far these guys seem to have a real good team chemistry. That’s important.”

For the Wolverines, there’s also a trophy to defend—a shot of added incentive.

The Friday Harbor boys basketball team enters the 2014-15 season as two-time defending Northwest 2B/1B League champ, capturing back-to-back league titles without a single loss in league play.

The team’s performance in league com-petition will take on added significance this season. More on that in a moment.

A year ago, the Wolverines, winners of eight of their final 10 regular-season games, finished the season undefeated in league, at 7-0, and 14-11 overall. They made a deep playoff run before ending post-season play just one win away from securing a state tournament berth.

This year, Friday Harbor will be without its two leading scorers from a year ago, Otis Cooper-West and C.J. Woods, lost to graduation. The game plan for 2014-15 will rely heavily on the experience and wingspan of Gabe Lawson and Peter Strasser, a pair of 6-foot 3-inch seniors with proven ability to score, rebound and defend, and to get up and down the court as well.

At 6’6”, junior Kyle Jangard adds even more height and presence to an already lengthy lineup inside, and the addition of 6-foot 2-inch sophomore John Gustafson promises to give the Wolverines as sturdy and deep an inside game as they’ve had in quite some time.

Turnbull, now in his 13th year at the helm, envisions making the most of the team’s height on both the offensive and defensive end of court.

In the backcourt, the Wolverines will be somewhat shorter on experience than they are in the paint. But in senior Jake Bower, and fellow senior Bill Revercomb back in

the lineup, they have a pair of swift, skilled and savvy ball-handlers. Speed in the backcourt increases by leaps and bounds with track star Willie Blackmon on the floor, and junior Danil Sonjaya showed an elusiveness off the dribble and ability to get to the rim in the season opener.

“I think we’ll be able to get up and down the court pretty well,” Turnbull said.

The Wolverines open the season at home, host of the Tip-off Classic, a two-day, four-team tournament. They’ll com-pete in a post-Christmas Day tournament in Port Townsend, but every other contest on the team’s regular-season schedule, with exception of two, will pit Friday Harbor against a league rival, one game at home and one away, and all count in the

league title chase. In this year’s return to competition as

a Division 2B team, the Wolverines say so long to a pack of former 1A rivals, like Nooksack Valley and Meridian, and hello to a 2-game season series against familiar 1B and 2B foes, with position in the league standings dependent on the outcome of each and every game. Turnbull sees hotly contested match ups ahead against the likes of Mount Vernon Christian, Orcas and La Conner, especially the second time around.

“Usually that second time through, after you’ve both seen what the other team likes to do, the games get a little more competi-tive,” he said.

Like Montmartre in Paris, or the East Village in New York—the north end of Spring Street is now the center for art in Friday Harbor.

The San Juan Islands Museum of Art opened its doors for the first time Fri., Dec. 5, with “Unveiling: the Best of the IMA’s Artist Registry” as its inaugural show. The exhibit features the work of island artists in every medium, much of which is for sale, and runs through Jan. 25.

“This is not arts and crafts,” IMA’s Rebecca Parks said. “This is art you’d be proud to put on your wall—fine art.”

The Artist’s Registry began in 2010, the brainchild of island artist Yvonne Buijs-Mancuso. It was started as a resource for artists to connect as a com-munity, and to have a place to exhibit their work in a professional, elegant gallery atmosphere.

Since it first took form, the registry has put on nomadic shows, using empty storefronts and the community theatre lobby as exhibits. With the opening of IMA, the Artist’s Registry has its home.

IMA had humble begin-nings as well. Islander Andrea Simmons was the first to stoke the fire for hav-ing a visual arts museum on San Juan. From the initial meetings in her living room a decade ago, to the mod-ernly erected new museum today—IMA has come a long way.

The museum build-ing was funded entirely by grants and personal dona-tions. The project stayed

within its $3.25 million budget, which by museum standards is quite low, according to Parks.

“Museums of the same size throughout the Pacific Northwest and United States cost about $20 million,” she said. “But because we had the bones of the structure, and because of our architect, we were able to keep prices astoundingly low.”

IMA’s board of directors took advantage of the structurally sound core of the old EMT building on Spring Street, which was left idle after Peace Island Medical Center opened. The board purchased the property in 2013.

Architect Richard Hobbs added a sweep-ing glass and steel atrium, giving the build-ing a dramatic, modern new look. The inte-rior is home to three galleries and a studio where future workshops will be held.

The new building has sparked different opinions among islanders. Some praise its look, while others grumble it doesn’t fit with the quaint architec-ture of most buildings in Friday Harbor.

“The building is perfect--art is meant to engender conversation,” said Mayor Carrie Lacher. “I think this is another piece of our cultural environ-ment.”

Not only will the Museum exhibit local art, but art from around the country and the world. The official grand opening of the museum will feature the critically acclaimed work of California-born and Seattle-based artist, William Norris. Norris’s glass-blown sculptures will be on display beginning Feb. 14.

IMA functions as a non-profit organization where all proceeds, after

By Emily GreenbergJournal reporter

It takes technology to preserve the past. That’s why the exhibit under construction at the San Juan Historical Museum will be different from anything that’s been built before.

More than an exhibit really, it’s a museum within the museum.

An indoor dock will lead you through the fishing section, where there’s an interactive fish-ing station, and you can learn the tricks of the trade. There will be a three dimensional window to look in and see people working at the old cannery, standing in rooms with fish up to their knees. There will be a lime kiln replica, machin-ery and artifacts, all this and more in a 2,700 square foot barn.

“Museums are evolving with technology, you can’t just put an old photo and a caption any-more,” said Kevin Loftus, executive director of the San Juan Historical Museum. “We want to be in the same breath when people talk about places to go.”

Bold, intricate and creative—the Museum of History and Industry will function as a per-manent exhibit, and could put the Historical Museum on the map for top things to do on San Juan.

The new exhibit will focus on the island’s major industries of the 1900s—fishing, farming,

logging and lime. From the men who cut cords of wood for the lime kilns and steam ships, to the women and children who canned salmon, this new exhibit plays homage to the pioneers of modern society.

Presently Loftus is gathering stories and snip-pets from the past, interviewing some of the last remaining people on the island from this time. He said it’s the stories, not the artifacts, that will drive the exhibit’s content.

“These people are getting up in years and once they’re gone, who’s going to remember?” he said. “We want this to be a place to come and see what life was like, so it’s not forgotten.”

The idea to curate an industry exhibit was

born nearly a decade ago, but the project didn’t get underway until 2012. Its grand opening is not expected until 2016, but there will be soft open-ings along the way as sections are completed.

What started as a $200,000 budget quickly grew to $300,000 with added infrastructure, heat, and electricity. When you add up the technology, art, and design needed to execute the vision, the Museum of Industry and History will cost upwards of $500,000.

Lofty goals with a budget to match, Loftus said the Museum won’t take out loans or accrue any debt to finish building and curating the space. Like the Historical Museum, the Museum of Industry and History is funded through mem-berships, grants, donations, and county lodging taxes.

So for now it’s dry wall and plaster, story and artifact gathering. Loftus hopes that the atrium, scheduled to be completed first, will be open to those that visit the museum’s grounds by early 2015.

Although the Museum of History and Industry will be more advanced than the exhibits currently offered at the Historical Museum, the intention is the same, to look after the past.

“The generations of people who performed this work aren’t here anymore,” said Museum board president Mary Jean Cahail. “If we don’t work to preserve history it will be lost.”

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

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