San Juan Islands’Health & Wellness2014 Guide A supplement to the Journal of the San Juan Islands, Islands' Sounder, and Islands' Weekly

By Steve WehrlyJournal reporter

Lopez Island residents, upset about EA-18 “Growler” jet noise from planes at Naval Air Station Whidbey, will meet with Whidbey Island activists on Feb. 12 to dis-cuss the noise issue and what might be done about it.

Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve for Healthy, Safe and Peaceful Environment will be telling Lopez residents that COER is shifting its focus from the Outlying Field near Coupeville, which COER wants closed, to larger questions of bas-ing the EA-18 at NAS Whidbey and conducting low-level “touch-and-go” training exercises at either Ault Field at NAS Whidbey near Oak Harbor or OLF Coupeville.

In a Jan. 14 press release, COER President Michael Monson announced that the organization is now seeking removal of the jets from Whidbey Island, not just stopping further use of OLF Coupeville for Navy “touch and go” carrier landing exercises.

For 2013, the Navy estimat-ed it would conduct more than 31,000 “closed pattern” train-ing operations at Ault Field and OLF Coupeville, including 5,300 operations between 11 p.m. and

Nearly a decade after the Southern Resident killer whales were listed as endangered under federal law, the Fisheries Service is proposing to give Lolita — the orca captured 44 years ago in Penn Cove and sold to a Florida aquarium — protection of the Endangered Species Act as well.

But if you think that means the captive orca will be released from Miami Seaquarium and reintroduced to the waters off Washington state, don’t hold your

RENTON — Even for Pete Carroll, a coach with vast expe-rience, not to mention the fame, fortune and clout to get into just about any big event he chooses, this weekend’s Super Bowl will be a first.

Sometime back in his first go-around in the NFL, Carroll decided he wouldn’t go to the Super Bowl as a spectator; instead, he would wait until he earned a trip.

“Never,” Carroll said when asked if he had attended the NFL’s biggest game. “I really had the

thought a long time ago that I’m not going until we’re playing in it. Fortunately, we’re finally going.”

Just as it will be for Carroll, Super Bowl XLVIII will be a new experience for Seattle’s players. Barring a surprise last-minute roster move, the Seahawks will become the first team since the 1990 Buffalo Bills to play in the Super Bowl without a single player on its roster who has past experience in the big game. With an average age of 26.4 the Seahawks are the second-youngest Super Bowl team in history, just a bit older than the 1971 Dolphins, who lost to Dallas.

So the obvious question is, does experience matter? Does the fact that Denver quarterback Peyton Manning is playing in his third Super Bowl while Russell Wilson is in his first mean anything? Or does it simply mean Manning is older and was on some good teams in the past?

Seahawks players don’t really know for sure, but they’re approaching the week as if nothing is different.

No experience neededDoes Manning hold the edge, or will youth prevail in showdown

Firefighters prevented the majority of a home from going up in flames after heat from a fireplace ignited the walls of a sunroom in a home on San Juan Island’s Skottowe Lane late Saturday night.

San Juan Island Fire Department was dispatched to the fire at about 9 p.m., and gained an upper-hand in contain-ing the fire within the sunroom about 15 minutes after arriving at the scene, Chief Steve Marler said. A neighbor doused the fire with a garden hose that helped prevent the fire from spreading to the rest of the one-story house until firefighters arrived at the scene, Marler said.

“When our guys got there they did a good job of keep-ing the fire to that one location,” he said. “A neighbor put a garden hose on it before we got there and that helped a lot.”

The woman living in the home, as well as her rabbit, escaped without injury and spent the night with a friend, according to the fire department.

The fire apparently started when heat from a large stone fireplace, similar to that of a hunting lodge, ignited a wall made of wood that surrounds it, Marler said.

“At first glance it appears to have been an accidental fire caused by overexposure of that wooden wall from the fire-place,” he said.

Skottowe Lane is located off of Beaverton Valley Road, on Cady Mountain, near the intersection with Boyce Road.

Twenty firefighters, two fire engines, two water tenders, an aid car, five EMTs , seven logistics team members and a Sheriff ’s Deputy, as well as OPALCO responded to the fire. San Juan EMS provided EMTs to offer medical support to both the firefighters and the resident.

The fire was under control by 1 a.m.While the fire gutted the sunroom, Marler said that the

majority of the home, roughly 1,500 square feet in size, sus-tained only minor damage from the fire or smoke.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that if the homeowner and insurance company want to rebuild they’ll be able to,” Marler said.

LevyFeb. 11th

By Rebecca GourleyWNPA Olympia News Service

OLYMPIA — The push to label genetically modified organisms – termed GMOs – is back on the table in Olympia.

But the focus is on genetically engineered, or transgenic, fish.

A transgenic animal has had one animal’s DNA spliced with another to create an animal with new characteristics. House Bill 2143 proposes to ensure that consumers will know exactly what kind of fish they are purchasing at the supermarket – whether it’s farm-raised, wild-caught or “genetically engineered.”

Before a Jan. 17 hearing on the bill in the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee, bill spon-sor Rep. Cary Condotta, R-East Wenatchee, said he plans to introduce two amendments that would more clearly define several terms in the proposed legislation. Under the amendments, the bill’s definition of genetically engineered would be changed to “transgenic” and it would target only fish raised in natural freshwater, such as lakes and streams, rather than enclosed tanks.

The changes would address two concerns raised at the hearing by John Dentler of Troutlodge, the oldest aquacul-ture company in Washington. Troutlodge, headquartered in Bonney Lake, Pierce County, produces triploid trout eggs. With three sets of chromosomes instead of two, the fish are sterile.

Dentler says the bill is vague in its definitions and it doesn’t address the triploid fish. Dentler also said that the bill’s definition of “state waters” is not defined well enough and may encompass fish research performed by the University of Washington and Washington State University.

Prior to the hearing, Condotta recognized these concerns and said they would be addressed in the coming amend-ments. However, the bill would still prohibit the production of transgenic fish in freshwater net pens.

One concern the bill aims to address is the risk of transgenic fish escaping into native-fish habitats. Condotta said he questions the sterility of the trans-genic fish and doesn’t want to take the chance of them escaping and possibly crossbreeding with other salmon. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has yet to approve genetically engineered fish for human con-sumption, but some in the industry expect that policy to change soon.

AquaBounty Technologies, based in Massachusetts, is producing its genetically engineered fish, AquAdvantage Salmon, at a facility in Canada because Environment Canada, that country’s government agency on everything related to the environment, said they pose no risk to the environment. This decision was recently challenged by Ecology Action Centre and Living Oceans Society, two non-profit activist groups in Canada.

The lawsuit says Environment Canada acted “unlawfully” when they approved AquaBounty’s product. AquaBounty is seeking FDA approval to raise transgenic salmon in the United States for human consumption. The fish would all be sterile females and would be produced in landlocked freshwater tanks, FDA spokesperson Theresa Eisenman said.

AquaBounty’s method of altering the DNA of the Atlantic salmon is to take a growth gene from the Chinook salmon and “splice” it with the DNA of the Atlantic salmon. This creates a fish that reaches maturity much faster than its natural counterparts, and therefore can be sold for food more quickly.

AquaBounty’s website says its fish should not be labeled “genetically engineered” because “the nutritional and biological composition of AquAdvantage salmon is identical to Atlantic salmon.”

The FDA agrees.“In September 2010…based on the data and information

received to date, food from AquAdvantage salmon appears to be as safe to eat as farmed, conventionally bred Atlantic salmon,” Eisenman said.

Condotta disagrees. “This is not similar,” he said. “This is a different product entirely and it should require its own label.”

Some large retailers such as Target, Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods have stated they won’t sell the transgenic fish even if the FDA approves it. Washington’s existing fish-farming industry also has concerns, Condotta said.

“People might reject farmed fish not knowing if they are buying GMO,” he said.

However, at the hearing on Friday, Alan Cook of Icicle Seafoods said he was opposed to the bill, even though they have no plans to rear transgenic fish.

“It’s already prohibited according to state regulations,” he said. “This law is not required.”

The production of transgenic fish is already banned in Washington’s marine waters, said John Kerwin, fish health program manager for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Kerwin said that this bill would extend WAC 220-76-100 to include freshwater.

Sen. Maralyn Chase, D-Shoreline, has introduced an identical bill, Senate Bill 6184. She also testified at the hear-ing Friday.

“It’s vital that we send the message to the federal govern-ment that we do not want this ‘new animal drug’ turned loose in our market,” Chase said.

The FDA has classified genetically modified animals as a “new animal drug.” Some in the industry say this categori-zation is its own problem.

“They [the FDA] doesn’t have the framework for geneti-cally engineered animals,” said Trudy Bialic, spokesperson for PCC Natural Markets in Seattle.

“This is a gross concern,” she continued. “The criteria for the assessment is less strict than for food additives.”

Bialic was also a strong supporter for Initiative 522, the GMO Initiative, but believes this more narrow approach will be a better fit for Washington.

Condotta said he hopes consumers will be more sup-portive of this bill because it focuses on fish, rather than all GMOs. Last year, Washington voters rejected I-522, 49 to 51 percent.

It’s back: genetically modified food labelsIn Olympia, lawmakers will consider new ways to regulate GMOs

“It’s just another football game,” safety Kam Chancellor said. “At the end of the day, it’s football, it’s running and hitting.”

Added fellow safety Earl Thomas: “I’m just doing what I’ve been doing all season. I haven’t changed just because we’re in the Super Bowl.”

Yet even if the Seahawks plan to treat Sunday’s game like any other, the buildup certainly will be different. From the circus that is Super Bowl media day to spend-ing an entire week in a hotel to being hit up with ticket requests from relatives they never knew existed, players face challenges that simply don’t come with other games.

“I think the more veteran team you have, the little bit easier it is,” said for-mer Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren, who guided Seattle to the 2006 Super Bowl. “The more times you’ve been through it, it’s easier because there are not a lot of surprises

... There is nothing like it, so you have to talk about it. You have to talk to your team about it.”

Oh, and that quote above, Holmgren was talking about the NFC Championship game.

“It gets worse if you go to the Super Bowl,” he continued.

While this year’s Seahawks may lack Super Bowl experience, Holmgren said he thinks they have the mental makeup to overcome any potential disadvantages.

“It strikes me when I go over there, they are as loose a group as I’ve been around,” he said. “But, having said that, I think it’s pretty controlled. They understand that. They handle it pretty well.”

These inexperienced Seahawks came into Super Bowl week hoping they can put all the distractions aside, yet they’re also aware that there’s no way to know for sure until they live it.

“I really don’t know what to expect for real, being that it’s the first time in the Super

Bowl,” Chancellor said. “I know it’s going to be a ton of media and a ton of people out there. My family is going to be out there, but I’m just blessed for this opportunity to make it to the Super Bowl and get a chance to compete against one of the best. I’m just looking forward to it and can’t wait.”

And if you don’t think the emotions of a first Super

Bowl are different, just ask Holmgren about one of the pictures hanging in his house. In the old black-and-white photo, Holmgren, then the 49ers’ quarterbacks coach, is sit-ting in a folding chair facing head coach Bill Walsh going over the game plan.

To this day, Holmgren has the same reac-tion to that photo.

“Every time I see that picture, my heart starts going thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump,” he said. “I go ‘Wow, I remember that.’ I was nervous. When I was a head coach, I wasn’t so nervous.”

So maybe past Super Bowl experience matters a little, though if it does, it’s not exactly like the Broncos have a roster full of it. While Manning won one title with the Colts, no one else on Denver’s roster has a championship, though receiver Wes Welker, tight end Jacob Tamme and corner-back Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie have all played in Super Bowls.

If the Seahawks have one thing going for them this week, it will be a bit of familiar-ity. Having played the New York Giants this year, the Seahawks have already played, and won, at MetLife Stadium. Carroll even made sure to find out what would be the NFC team hotel for the Super Bowl so his Seahawks could stay there for their regular-season trip to New Jersey.

“I always like using those illustrations ... where we have been there before and we’ve done that,” he said, noting the pos-sibility of a return trip wasn’t something discussed publicly before Seattle won the NFC Championship game. “We just try to

hold back on that at the time thinking it was too presumptuous, but we’re fortunate now. We’ll be in the same hotel, we’ve been in that locker room, we’ve played well at that sta-dium, so hopefully we’ll utilize that some. It’s just about being comfortable.”

7 a.m. Because the Navy sus-pended some training oper-ations at OLF Coupeville for about half of 2013, the number at OLF Coupeville was considerably reduced, to about 5,000.

“It is now our position that the Growlers must go, and we are making that case to our state and national elected officials and com-munities throughout the region,” Monson said.

Part of “making that case” extends to Lopez and San Juan islands, and to Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula. The meeting in Port Townsend is Jan. 27 at the Cotton Building in Port Townsend; the loca-tion of the Feb. 12 meeting

on Lopez Island is Grace Church Meeting Hall.

On San Juan Island, former San Juan County Councilman Howie Rosenfeld, a former public health professional, says he has recently heard “loud” jet noise “from over the hori-zon” at his home in Friday Harbor and is interested in finding out more about the issue, especially because he once lived on Whidbey Island and remembers the noise problems.

Other COER meet-ings have been scheduled on Guemes Island, Jan. 28, and at Langley on Whidbey Island, Feb. 15. Also impor-tant to making the case, according to Ken Pickard, an environmental attorney who lives near the OLF, was for COER to do its own noise testing and obtaining scientific input on health effects from environmen-tal health specialists. The health effects, according to Pickard, are “extensive and serious.”

Pickard also said that COER is attempting to interest U.S. Senators Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray in the issue but has heard only from Cantwell’s office. Congressman Rick Larsen, who was instrumental in keeping the base open in the face of attempts to close it, commented that he “sup-ports the Navy entering into an environmental review process to take all issues under consideration.”

during the summer break.That image of a high school student working a few hours

a week for some extra cash is the idea that a lot of us get when we think about the minimum wage. Opponents of raising the minimum wage use that antiquated portrait to oppose wage increases today. They say a higher wage hurts businesses only to put a few extra bucks in the pockets of teenagers.

But the reality is that picture falls terribly short in illus-trating the reality of the low-wage labor market today. So let's debunk that myth now. The truth is that low-wage workers are older and often the sole breadwinners to sup-port their families. Here are the stats, from the Center for Economic and Policy Research:

In 1979, 27 percent of low-wage workers were teenagers. Today just 12 percent are. The average age of low-wage workers is 35 years old.

One in 10 low-wage workers are college graduates, double the number from 1979. Women, who make up 49 percent of the workforce, account for 56 percent of low-wage earners.

Here's another fact: working full time at the minimum wage is not enough to keep families out of poverty. That $3.50 an hour I was making back in the early 1980s may not sound like much, but the sad truth is that is actually more than minimum wage workers are earning around the country today, when adjusted for inflation.

It is unacceptable that millions of people are working full time at the minimum wage but still fall under the poverty line. Clearly it’s time for a change.

A few weeks ago, I joined more than 170 of my colleagues to co-sponsor the Fair Minimum Wage Act. This bill will raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 and tie future increases to keep pace with inflation. Independent economists estimate such a change would lift 4.6 million people out of poverty.

Six years after the Great Recession hit, economists agree that the United States is on a strong rebound. The economy is growing, companies are hiring, and the stock markets are soaring.

But dig a little deeper into the data and you will find

some troubling facts. The vast majority of income increases in the last few years have gone to the top earners. According to research at UC Berkeley, the top 1 percent of income earners took home 95 percent of the income increases between 2009 and 2012.

Earlier this week, The Bellingham Herald reported that with half of all Whatcom County’s jobs in low-paying retail and service industries, the county’s wages have stag-nated lower than state and

national levels for the last decade. Middle-class jobs that were axed in the recession are being replaced by low-wage jobs.

That makes it all the more important to raise the mini-mum wage. But there are other reasons to do it, too. Raising the minimum wage does more than help low-wage workers. Low-wage earners spend a far greater percentage of their paycheck than higher earners, meaning that most of the increased wages would be injected directly back into the economy. Economists estimate that an increase to $10.10 an hour would generate $22 billion in increased economic activity, creating 85,000 new jobs.

We need to do a lot more than raise the minimum wage to truly combat rising income inequality. One of the first things that Congress needs to do is extend emergency unemployment insurance that Congressional Republicans let expire last month. These benefits are often the last thing stopping people who are looking for work from falling into poverty.

We need to invest in education, so the next generation of workers can get the best jobs and grow the economy for all.

And of course we need to stay focused on creating good-paying, middle-class jobs by investing in transportation infrastructure, fueling small business growth and finding new markets to sell American-made products.

It is not a very complicated idea: In the largest economy in the world, people should be able to get a good education, find a job and be paid a salary that lets them feed and house their families. Making sure that a minimum wage pays enough to keep families out of poverty is an important first start to getting there.

breath. That might take awhile, or never.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration back-pedaled from its previous stance and late last week recommended that Lolita, also known as Tokitae, be included along with its cousins on the ESA.

The agency will accept public comment on the proposal until March 28 and begin a months-long exploration as to what type of protection such a desig-nation would afford to the captive killer whale.

Lynne Barre, branch chief for protected resourc-es at the National Marine Fisheries Service, said the Lolita’s proposed listing

under the ESA includes language in which reintro-ducing the orca into the wild could be consider as “a take”, creating a potential harm, which in itself would be a violation of the ESA.

Still, she said that the agency will consider com-ment about a possible relo-cation as part of its evalu-ation.

Barre noted that other individual animals afforded protection under the ESA remain in captivity for a variety of reasons, as part of breeding programs or because they’ve never been acclimated to the wild. Noted examples include monk seals, sturgeon and small-tooth sawfish, as well as chimpanzees.

She said the Fisheries Service is collaborating with U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, which is faced with a simi-

lar dilemma in listing chim-panzees under the ESA.

Lolita is one of 45 orcas captured by killer whale hunters back in the 1970s, most of which were sold to marine parks around the world.

Presumed to be about six years old when captured, Lolita has become a sym-bol for orca activists pro-testing holding killer whales in captivity and the subject

of lawsuits suing the fed-eral government and Miami Seaquarium for release of the captive killer whale.

Activists argue that Lolita’s tank and living con-ditions are both inhumane and violate federal law.

Barre notes living condi-tions of animals in captiv-ity are governed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

For students sake;‘Yes’ on M&O levy

Being asked to contrib-ute more money for educa-tion is frustrating to many islanders.

“We’re already spending plenty,” you’ll hear. And on a national level, it’s true.

In 2011, the University of Southern California produced a graphic which shows the annual educa-tion spending of 12 coun-tries. Although we outspend other nations, the Federal Department of Education takes a large part of the total.

Individual states have their own education divi-sions and fund them dif-ferently. But basic educa-tion funding provided by the state of Washington is not sufficient to fully fund our district’s programs. Especially with recent cut-backs from Olympia.

In 2010 our district had to seek a four-year mainte-nance and operations levy. We voted and approved it. Now it must be renewed.

These funds comprise almost 20 percent of the annual operating budget of our district and pay for such things as full-service bus routes, reasonable class sizes, comprehensive stu-dent schedules, staffing for technology, visual arts and libraries, advanced place-ment and community based courses. Pretty much what you’d expect from a top-ranked school system.

I know it’s hard to vote for something like taxes. And yes, there’s room to cut spending on a national

level. But these funds are critical for the success of our local students and the monies will be used for pur-poses worthy of your sup-port.

And remember, this is not a new tax, it’s just a renewal for four more years. It’s a fixed-dollar amount that is unchanged as assessed property values may rise.

According to our county assessor’s office, the approx-imate levy rate will go from 73 cents per $1,000 assessed value (now) to 81 cents per $1,000 in 2018.

For a home assessed at $300,000 the levy change will mean almost $16 per year more in 2015 and 2016, $22 for 2017 and an extra $25 for the year of 2018, or about $2 per month. Less than a latte.

Good schools mean bet-ter communities. Please support our island schools and the greater community.

Vote to continue the maintenance and opera-tions levy for the San Juan Island School District.

GARY FRANKLINSan Juan Island

No free pass just because it’s Navy

When I joined the mili-tary the first thing I was told was “this is not a democ-racy, you do as you’re told and do not ask questions.”

I fear the longer one lives under this mantra the more it becomes a mindset. Witness the atrocities com-mitted in the name of “just following orders.”

Unfortunately, change happens. The nature of war changes as does the nature of communities; as a com-munity grows so does the need for peaceful co-exis-

tence.One group cannot

assume a business as usual attitude when that attitude puts a strain on the com-munity in which said group resides, which is exactly the case with the Whidbey NAS [Naval Air Station].

Loyalty and obedience are the driving force of the military. In a democracy one is called to question and speak out.

When two opposing forc-es meet there is conflict. In a civilized society this can lead to lawsuits, again the case here.

Hopefully, elected media-tors can sort out the prob-lem to the satisfaction of all. If not, the ill feelings will only increase which, in the end, serve no one.

One of the sounds of free-dom is the sound of protest, in this case protest to the military excesses.

Support success; ‘Yes’ on M&O levy

Last June I was lucky enough to become the new FHHS Social Studies teach-er.

Despite having eight years’ experience, there’s still some trepidation in teaching at a new location; any reservations that I had promptly subsided as I got to know the staff and stu-dents in the San Juan School District. They immediately made me feel welcomed, and this has become the most fun that I have had teaching because the stu-dents constantly challenge me to better myself.

Also the administration, parents, the school board, and the entire community have been wonderfully sup-portive as well, and after only a few months I am proud to call Friday Harbor my home. My children love going to FHES as the teach-ers there have been nothing short of awesome.

The beauty of this tight-knit community is that they all know the importance of a quality education, and how important levies are, not only to the district, but to the county and state as a whole.

The world is rapidly changing, as we become smaller and smaller due to the rapidity of global-ization. We are no longer just competing with Orcas, Anacortes or even with other schools in the state of Washington, but from around the world.

Resources are finite, and so are jobs; we need to impart every single oppor-tunity that we can in order to help students compete and succeed in this hyper competitive environment. This levy helps ensure that.

I am still wowed by the effort shown by staff and students alike on a daily basis. The music and arts programs here are second to none.

Even when I attended WWU, I never saw such amazing art adorning the hallways. SJISD provides amazing opportunities and options for students such as a myriad of AP and online classes.

Finally, the levy will help keep class sizes down, so we

can continue to focus more on individual need, help-ing each and every student achieve their full potential.

I urge everyone to vote “Yes” on February 11 for the Renewal of the Four-Year Maintenance and Operations Levy

We must be the luckiest dog lovers in the world.

We have the wonderful gravel pit where we can walk our dogs and let them play together. It’s great.

But the reality is that being able to let our dogs off leash there is a privi-lege not a right. That’s an important point to remember and it should be treated with a great amount of respect.

My dog has developed an aggressive attitude from being rushed by other dogs while we were at the gravel pit; I have heard the same from others. Now, I am working hard every day to correct that problem.

Every time you allow your dog to come rushing into mine because you have no control over it, you set my hard work back weeks and sometimes months. Think about that. I am trying to be a responsible dog owner. Respect that.

If you cannot call your dog back to you then in my opinion it should not be off leash. And if I tell you my dog is aggressive, respect that. Leash your dog as you pass and give us a wide berth.

The gravel pit is a luxury that deserves our respect and our beautiful dogs deserve our full attention while playing there. Picking up poop is not optional. I have actually seen people let their dogs out to poop at the gravel pit and then just walk away. Feces are a potential disease vector for both dogs and for wildlife. PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOG!

Island Rec has made that super easy for us by providing not only bags but trash cans in two strategic locations as well. USE THEM.

One person told me they don’t pick

up after their dog because the dog poops on the hillside. Either go down there and pick it up or keep your dog leashed until after it has pooped in a place where you can easily get it. There is really no excuse.

The gravel pit is a gem of a place, lets keep it that way. Respect each other, other dogs, and especially the people without dogs who come to walk or jog and do not deserve to be mauled by your dog. I would like to assume that its not that you don’t care, but that you didn’t know. Now you do.

A few guidelines above.

Editorial

On the edge of intoleranceCurrent controversies in our corner of the

world include issues critical to our lives and livelihoods.

And, interestingly enough, many of them involve the U.S. government, which everyone at some time loves to hate.

Think about them: military training at an airbase that’s critical to the Whidbey Island economy and that the military says is critical to our national security; killer whales that must be protected for their own sakes and for ours; the National Monument, national historic parks and border security installations that bring in millions of dollars, thousands of tourists and hundreds of jobs to the islands; transportation infrastructure that in both the short and long term make our state and region prosperous.

Every issue provokes lively arguments on both sides. This paper welcomes those debates.

We love a controversial story, especially one that is important enough to readers that they take the time to comment on.

We don’t mind when comments call people misguided, misinformed, stupid or even “idiots” (though such commenters should realize that name-calling is not only unkind, but also coun-terproductive).

What we do mind, lately, is the argument that ends (and often begins), “If you don’t like it, leave.” Does that extend to school levies? Critical area ordinances? Sheriff’s deputies? Spanish-speaking neighbors?

And the related argument, “You can’t complain if you chose to move here,” is, frankly, nonsense. First in time is not first in right.

Don’t stop complaining. It’s as American as apple pie. Just try to be tasteful.

Islanders cooperate. We live in close proximity without an easy escape route, so we have to figure out how to work well together.

Hundreds of island residents object to the proposed location of Customs and Border Patrol to First and Spring. The landowners worry that their livelihood may be threatened. This is a big deal. We need to address the proposed relocation comprehensively, in a way that considers the needs of all our community members.

The public learned about the relo-cation just before Halloween, through local news outlets. By then, the lease had already been signed; federal govern-ment occupancy of the most prominent corner of our commercial downtown was presented as a “done deal.” This felt like a slap in the face to many island residents.

Our political framework allows Americans the freedom to ask U.S. representatives to contact a federal agency on our behalf. Citizens for the Core, a nonviolent community move-ment consisting of hundreds of islanders, led that charge.

In response to our letters of concern, Congressman Rick Larsen sent a very pointed request for information to the General Services Administration, the federal agency that chose the new location. Most importantly, Larsen reiterated our concern that the lease was signed without adequate opportunity for public comment.

Islanders have had only three months to inform ourselves and see if anything could be done to challenge the reloca-tion. Our Freedom of Information Act request to the GSA

was finally fulfilled on Jan. 21. It has been hard to organize against something that we couldn’t even see.

The GSA has valid reasons for keeping quiet about lease negotiations. If the entire process were open, investors could collude on bids, offering the federal government a corrupt or inflated deal. That said, the GSA has procedures in place for inviting public comment in ways that do not compromise negotiation.

In a meeting at the fire station on Nov. 25, a GSA repre-sentative admitted that such processes exist, but the GSA did not choose them in Friday Harbor. Another slap in the face.

I have spoken personally to countless islanders who are upset about the process or about the location itself. Only two people (the landlords) have told me that they thought it was a good location. A few have said “acceptable,” but not “good.” Even those who would passively accept this “deal” admit that they would rather see Customs outside of our commercial core.

In a Dec. 10 County Council meeting, Councilman Bob Jarman commented that the best situation would be “to put them [Customs] at the waterfront, make it easy for them to get access where they need to get access.”

Let’s explore another aspect of this issue. The landowners

Margaret Ann “Maggie” King, 84 years young, died amongst her friends, fam-ily and caregivers at Hearthstone Adult Care Home at 5:15 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 17, 2014, after a long battle with dementia and the physical deterioration from mul-tiple strokes and seizures.

She was born on March 31, 1929 in Friday Harbor, Wash. to Louise Karen Lovaas King and Carleton Wright King. Her partner, Bette Story, was at her bed-side when she passed.

To earn money for college Maggie worked in Friday Harbor at her grandfa-ther’s grocery store, King’s Market, and for her father at King’s Slaughter House where she was the chief gutter. She also worked at the Fish Cannery. She graduated from Friday Harbor High School in 1948, earned a Bachelor of Arts and Master’s Degree in education from Central Washington College of Education and became a Physical Education Teacher and coach.

She taught junior high and high school physical education and health education in White Fish, Mont., and in Marysville and Edmonds, Wash. She retired in 1985 from Mountlake Terrace High School in Edmonds, where she taught and coached for 24 of her 26 years of teaching.

While teaching at Mountlake Terrace High School, Maggie had highly successful coaching seasons in volleyball, basketball, tennis, and track. She also participated on organized sport teams in basketball and softball, and was an avid runner, tennis player, and swimmer.

She was recognized for her fierce fight for equality for girls’ sports in Snohomish County and throughout the Pacific Northwest. In 1980, she was awarded the Seattle Times “Woman of the Year Award” in recognition for her contributions to women’s sports. In 2002 she was inducted into the Mountlake Terrace Hall of Fame.

Maggie is survived by her life partner Bette, her dog Netty and by two sisters, Phebe (Bob) Hirschel of Buckley, Wash., and Mary Jean King of Gresham, Ore., nephews Rawson and Carl (Cheryl) Hirschel, niece Ivana (Perry) Wood of Burlington, Wash., aunt Kathleen Jordan of Bellingham, Wash.

Maggie was preceded in death by her parents, Carl and Louise, her sister Janet, aunts Lynnette, Dorothy, Mildred, uncle Blair (Vi), cousin Roger and niece,Terri.

The family will have a celebration of life event for fam-ily and friends at a later date. Memorials may be made to Hospice of the Northwest, 819 S. 13th Street, Mount Vernon, WA 98274, or the Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor, 111 Shelter Rd., Friday Harbor, WA 98250.

depend on rental income for livelihood and to pay the enormous mortgage that funded the rebuild of First and Spring after a fire in 2002. We do need a solid “anchor tenant” at First and Spring that can pay the rent and make productive use of the space. An empty storefront is not good for anyone.

On Jan. 22, Gordy Petersen came to my workplace and invited me to tour his building. I am pleased that he approached me, and I believe that he came with a sincere desire to be understood. We con-tinue to meet for kind and thoughtful discussion.

Citizens for the Core does not support any outcome that injures the livelihood of

our fellow islanders. We are committed to finding alternative renters or investors who would be willing to lease or purchase the location at First and Spring.

Please help Citizens for the Core move forward in our advocacy of government transparency and a public process. It may involve serious work, but we are committed to an outcome that brings our community closer together.

his hand on his gun was a serious threat and totally unacceptable in the circum-stances he was faced with

on Christmas Eve. A police-man needs to be cool and steady. Being out of control is a potential danger and inspires an out of control and escalated response.

Menjivar needs to find a job sorting beans or some-

“With Peyton,” Sherman said. “you have to be on it quick, because I know he was on it quick.”

When it comes to preparing for quarterback Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos’ offense, an extra week between games is probably one or two weeks too few, which is why Sherman and the Seahawks defense, despite being the best in the NFL, know they have their hands full this weekend.

All season this Super Bowl matchup seemed like destiny. In the AFC, the 37-year-old Manning enjoyed the best season of what will surely be a Hall-of-Fame career, shattering passing records while leading the Broncos to an NFL record for points in a season.

Seattle, meanwhile, earned the NFC’s No. 1 seed thanks in large part to a defense that became the first since the 1985 Chicago Bears to lead the NFL in fewest points (14.4) and fewest yards allowed (273.6) as well as takeaways (39). When you factor in the pass-happy era we’re in, Seattle’s pass defense wasn’t just great, it was one of the best of all-time.

So when Sherman tipped Colin Kaepernick’s pass to Malcolm Smith for the game-clinching interception in the NFC title game, it didn’t just secure a Super Bowl berth for Seattle, it also set up one of the most intriguing Super Bowl matchups in recent memory, a classic meeting of an unstoppable force and an immoveable object.

“We really embrace that, man,” Sherman said. “As a defense, we respect the heck out of Peyton Manning, but as a true competitor, as competitive as our team is, you wouldn’t want to have it any other way. You want the best of the best, otherwise you don’t feel like you’re getting the biggest challenge of your life. ... It’s just a competitive drive in you. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. So that’s the only way it can go.”

And there is no arguing that this is a best-vs.-best matchup. Manning, whose career was in danger less than three years ago following multiple neck surgeries, established single-season records for passing yards (5,477) and pass-ing touchdowns (55). He carved up opposing defense by spreading the ball around to a group of pass-catchers with diverse skill sets, ranging from a pro-

totypical No. 1 receiver in Demaryius Thomas to a speedy slot receiver in Wes Welker to an athletic tight end in Julius Thomas. And of all the crazy stats the Broncos put up, the most stunning might be that they had four pass-catchers produce 10-plus touchdown seasons: Thomas, Thomas, Welker and Eric Decker. For a little perspective on how crazy that is, there were just nine other receivers and tight ends on the NFL’s 31 other teams to accomplish that feat.

So it’s no surprise that the Broncos are confident in their offense, no matter who is lined up across from them.

“They are the No. 1 defense,” Demaryius Thomas told reporters in Denver. “They have a great defense and we have a great offense. This is what you play for. I think we’ll be fine.”

Yet as confident as the Broncos may be, it’s safe to say they’ve yet to see anything quite like this Seattle defense, which didn’t just have the best pass defense in the league, but the best by a significant margin.

Seattle allowed 172.0 passing yards per game, 22.1 fewer than the No. 2 team. The Seahawks’ opponents’ passer rating of 63.4 is 10.8 points better than the next best team. The website FootballPerspective.com came up with a formula to rate pass defense in a historical context by using adjust-ed net yards per attempt — meaning it factors in sacks, not just actual pass attempts — then factored in a standard deviation relative to the average pass defense that year, and came away with the conclusion that the Seahawks have the fourth-best pass defense since 1950 behind 2002 Tampa Bay, 1988 Minnesota and the 1970 Vikings. Those ’02 Buccaneers won the Super Bowl, and it should be noted that Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was the defensive backs coach of the ’88 Vikings.

Seattle’s secondary deservedly saw three players, Sherman, Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor, earn Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors, yet it’s safe to say they’ve yet to see anything quite like Denver’s offense.

But Seahawks fans might take comfort knowing that in the previous four Super Bowls to match the league’s No. 1 offense and No. 1 defense in terms of yards, the defensive team won three times. Not only is Denver’s offense talented, it’s also a challenge because Manning has so much free-dom at the line of scrimmage, essentially serving as, as Sherman called him, “an offensive coordinator out there.”

IMA lands $25K grant for student art programs

San Juan Island elemen-tary and middle school students will benefit from a recent grant to San Juan Islands Museum of Art, ear-marked for support of the K-12 art program.

A charitable foundation that supports educational projects provided $25,000 to extend, enrich, strengthen, and continue art education for public school students.

When dramatic cuts in educational funding four years ago threatened to cur-tail or eliminate art educa-tion from elementary and middle school curricula, IMA spearheaded the effort to assure that island youth would continue to have access to quality visual arts enrichment experiences.

“Support for public school arts education has always been a major focus of IMA,” said Barb Ray of the IMA Board of Trustees.

In partnership with San Juan Island School District and with additional support

from the San Juan Island Community Foundation, the SJICF Women’s Fund, Washington State Arts Commission, local PTA organizations and others, IMA has enabled over 550 local students to engage in a variety of arts activities and learning opportunities under the guidance of quali-fied artist/teachers.

“We are very gratified that our efforts in school art education have been recognized,” said Charles Bodenstab, acting execu-tive director of IMA. “This generous grant will allow us to continue and further enhance opportunities for our enthusiastic students to explore a variety of current and future arts activities.”

FH falls by eight against Lyncs

The Wolverines took the court Saturday at Lynden Christian with three consecutive wins, all by monstrous margins, in tow.

But the Lyncs were not impressed. They turned a 5-point advantage at the end of the first period into a 7-point lead at the

half, outscored Friday Harbor by four in the third and coasted to a 61-53 victory in a regional 1A Division match up Saturday, Jan. 25, on their home court.

Peter Strasser tossed in 19 points to lead the Wolverines, Otis Cooper-West scored 11 and Luke Stromberg added 10 to the team total. The Wolverines fell to 7-8 over-all on the year and 2-2 in 1A conference play. They remain undefeated, at 4-0, in Northwest 1A/2B League competition.

Two days earlier, Friday Harbor notched a third-straight blowout victory with a 72-27 win at home over Northwest 1A/2B League rival Concrete. The Wolverines out-scored Meridian, Orcas and Concrete by a combined score of 203-75 in tallying back-to-back-to-back wins before the loss at Lynden Christian.

Lynden Christian’s Zach Roetcisoender led all scorers with 18 points and Cody Fransen contributed 12. With the win, the Lyncs (6-1 conference, 11-4 overall) gained a leg-up over Friday Harbor in the race for post-season seeding in the first round of the Division 1A regional playoff race.

Next:Friday Harbor faces Coupeville,

Wednesday, at 5:30 p.m., and La Conner, Friday, 5:30, in back-to-back road games. They host 1A conference rival Blaine, Saturday; tip off is noon in Turnbull Gym.

Wolverines misfire at Lynden ChristianPoints proved hard to come by as the

Friday Harbor girls basketball team failed to score in double digits in all four quar-ters of play in a 65-24 defeat, Saturday, at Lynden Christian.

The Lyncs led 39-13 at the half and pocketed the win after outscoring the Wolverines 26-11 in the second half.

The loss against the Lyncs is the latest dip in the Wolverines (6-9, 1-3 league) roller-coaster season. They bounced back from a 62-38 defeat at Orcas, Jan. 17, to rout Concrete 52-13 at home. Tabatha Keane scored 13 and Maddie Kincaid con-tributed 10 in the win. Keane tallied 11 to lead the Wolverines in the loss at Lynden Christian.

this stage of his career,” Carroll said. “And the coaching staff has allowed that to happen where he can be in total command of what’s going on.”

One thing Carroll and his defense know well is that stopping Denver’s passing game isn’t only about the players covering Manning’s targets. If the Seahawks can somehow generate a pass rush to disrupt Manning’s timing, they’ll be doing something few teams have

this season. The Broncos allowed a league-low 20 sacks this season, 18 on Manning, and that number clearly isn’t a testament to Manning’s mobility. Instead the Broncos rely on solid pass protection and, even more important, a quarter-back who through years of experience has learned pre-cisely when to get rid of the ball and where to throw it.

The Seahawks added Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril to improve their pass rush, and it worked, with Seattle registering 44 sacks this season, but even with a strong group of pass-rushers,

pressuring Manning, like stopping the entire Broncos offense, will be a challenge even for the league’s best defense.

“We have to be able to do everything,” Carroll said. “We have to be able to pres-sure him, we have to be able to play zone and man, do all of the things. Hopefully give him some new looks he can’t prepare for. We have to find a way to get him out of his normal rhythm. Very few teams have been able to do that. So it’s a big challenge.”

Nathaniel Wight, 1995 gradu-ate of Friday Harbor High School, helped found the Bronx Design & Construction Academy (www.bxdca.org) in New York City just three years ago.

Last week, Wight and students from the school traveled to Abu Dhabi to accept the Zayed Future Energy Prize on behalf of the school. The prize carries with it a $100,000 grant, which will be used to build an Energy-Environment Research Center at the school.

Wight is the son of Larry Wight, science and technology program director at FHHS, and Patricia Wight.

The Zayed Prize (www.zayedfu-tureenergyprize.com), initiated in 2008, is awarded to environmentally responsible businesses, non-governmental organi-zations and global high schools in honor of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahya, the first President of the United Arab Emirates, which he helped found in 1971.

Representing the Americas, the BDCA Energy Environment Research Center won the prize for its project, an initiative to generate on-site renewable energy from wind and solar

power. Four other high schools

from Romania, Malawi, India and Tonga also were selected. In 2013, BDCA was a finalist and runner-up for the prize, according to Wight.
