Part 1 of a two-part series on island manufacturing

Who says manufacturing can’t work in the San Juan Islands?

Not Travis Ayers of Luxel, David Marsaudon of Window Craft, Robert Herrick of Lacrimedics, or Hawk Pingree of San Juan Distillery.

All four companies have become established, and all four owners intend to stay. Hard work and unique products are the founda-

tions of their success here, but each credits their employees (except the distiller, which has a single, new, part-timer) and each thinks this is a great place to be headquartered.

San Juan DistilleryEmployees don’t play a big

part yet at San Juan Distillery, near Westcott Bay, just outside of Roche Harbor, because part-ners Rich Anderson and Suzy and Hawk Pingree do it all themselves, from crushing apples for cider to

The only candidate who owns property in San Juan County (a vacation house on Decatur Island) and the only finalist who lives in the state of Washington was selected Tuesday to be the new county man-ager in a unanimous decision by the County Council.

On the same day, May 21, Mike T h o m a s , 49, of Enumclaw, Wash., was extended an offer of employ-ment at an annual salary of $120,000, plus a deferred com-pensation match of up to 5 percent of his salary and the usual public employee bene-fits. Thomas accepted the offer May 22 and will start work on June 24.

Interim county manager Bob Jean said he thought Thomas was a “great fit for San Juan County” and that he will be available to help with the transition, but expects to be relieved of interim duties by the end of June.

Since 2010, Thomas has been city administrator of Enumclaw, Wash., population 10,699. Before that, he was director of that city’s Department of

Replacing the collapsed bridge over I-5 in Mt. Vernon will take “months, not weeks” according to State Senator Kevin Ranker, who briefed county and town officials at a hast-ily organized “emergency meeting” of the San Juan County Council the day after the 55 year-old bridge crashed into the Skagit River May 23 in Mount Vernon.

That timetable caused consternation for local officials, concerned that the first months of the tourist season on the islands might see significant disruptions for travelers trying to reach the San Juan Islands. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is working to locate a suit-able “Bailey bridge” to temporarily replace the fallen span, but any solution won’t happen until mid-summer at the earliest, according to Ranker.

“Alternate routes can get travelers to the Anacortes ferry dock with only a few minutes of additional drive time,” Councilman Rick Hughes said. After speaking with Governor Jay Inslee early on the day after the collapse, Hughes said the governor understood the problem and promised that the Department

A new location is the setting of an expansion of flooring sales and services for Island Wholesale Products. The com-pany recently moved into the showroom at 278 “A” Street in downtown Friday Harbor, formerly home of Island Home Port. IWP will now feature windows, doors, cabinets and other building products at the current 849 Spring Street location, and offer carpet, hardwood, tile and stone at the new “A” St. location.

Island Wholesale’s Mary Haselow had been working on expanding flooring offerings when the opportunity came to take the “A” Street location. The company has greatly increased its product lines and displays in the new show-room, including specialty “green” products, she said, and can compete with mainland pricing, and will feature at least one product every month at a true “blow out” price as a monthly special. Anyone visiting the “A” Street showroom this summer will receive special pricing, she added.

Haselow, with a degree in interior design, has over 20 years of experience in design and sales and is the company’s go-to person for flooring, cabinets and countertops. She will be at the “A” Street showroom Tuesday - Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturdays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., or by appointment,

378-3903. Dwight Ware, IWP owner, will continue to be at the Spring Street store, 378-7202.

IWP also has added Duane Hallam to the crew. Hallam has 35 years of experience in all types of flooring installa-tions and has done everything from apartments/condos to high-end homes throughout the Puget Sound area. He has extensive product knowledge and can help in determining the right product for your job.

Business BriefsCleaner, brighter boat symposium

West Marine is sponsoring a “Clean Boating Symposium” Friday, June 7, 6 to 8 p.m., at the Northwest Center for Marine Manufacturing & Technology, located at 1606 R Avenue in Anacortes. West Marine is partnering with The Clean Boating Foundation (cleanboatingfoundation.org) and The Northwest Center of Excellence for Marine Manufacturing & Technology (http://www.marinecenterofexcellence.

com/) for this program.West Marine will join in the

interactive discussion regard-ing current and upcom-ing legislation concern-ing cleaner boating for the Anacortes region. Company representatives will be on hand from Port Supply, West Marine, Petit Paint, Martyr Anodes, ProMariner, Snyder Chemical and the Clean Boat Foundation to discuss when boaters must comply, why they should be proactive by starting now and how to do so in the most economic manner possible.

Topics Set for Discussion: Copper-Free Bottom Paints; Cadmium-Free Aluminum Anodes; Galvanic Corrosion Prevention; and Safer Cleaning Solutions.

FH Port to host ‘Welcome’ Fest

The Port of Friday Harbor will participate in National Marina Day on June 8 with a “Welcome to the Water” Marina Festival. Islanders and visitors are encour-aged to discover or be reac-quainted with the fun times of the boating lifestyle.

The Port’s festival will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Front Street, direct-ly behind the Port Office, and on the docks closest to shore. There will be a seafood chowder cook-off, a marine swap meet, live music and children’s activi-ties. The Port will also have a raffle fundraiser for the Friday Harbor High School

Sailing Team and the Friday Harbor Power Squadron will offer free vessel safety inspections.

This is an opportunity for island citizens and visitors who don’t have a boat to get out on the water for free. Friday Harbor Marine will provide free dinghy, kayak, paddle boat and electric Duffy boat rides. The Port intends to make this water-front festival an annual occasion, so stop by and get out on the water!

distilling apple juice into a variety of liquors to bot-tling and labeling the prod-ucts.

What makes the island location important for Anderson and the Pingrees are the climate (“just like Normandy”), the sixteen varieties of “bittersweet and bittersharp” English and French apples that Anderson planted in 1999 on an acre and a half next to Westcott Bay, and the quality of life that brought all three to San Juan Island. The Pingrees, retired pro-fessors from the University of Wisconsin, three years ago proposed to Anderson that he expand the cider-making operation to spirits; Anderson readily accepted.

For Anderson and the Pingrees, it’s the passion they put into their product and the quality of the life they lead that makes them happy to be here and opti-mistic about their future on San Juan Island. “It’s an art form as much as a manufac-turing process,” says Hawk, who loves to describe the distilling process in front of their two stills, a 200-liter German Adrian still and a 30-liter Portuguese pot still just for making gin.

The trio sees their busi-ness, and their friends’ busi-ness at San Juan Winery, as pioneers in agricultural pro-cessing and manufacturing in the San Juan Islands, part of and complementary to the growing “agritourism” sector in the islands.

Anderson and the Pingrees say the state tax system, which imposes three layers of ad-valorem taxes on their products, is their biggest obstacle to suc-cess. Hawk Pingrees wants the legislature to take into account their size and the different manufacturing and marketing costs that giant distillers absorb by volume sales and pricing. “We know

that our craft-made prod-uct, made in small batches with premium ingredients, will sell at a premium price, but the layered 10 percent, 22 percent and 17 percent taxes at the manufacturing, distribution and retail levels are discouraging to poten-tial customers,” says Hawk Pingree.

Luxel CorporationTravis Ayers is the third

owner of Luxel Corporation, which he purchased from Forbes Powell in 2007. Powell bought the company from Gordon Steele in 1988; Gordon Steele founded the company in California in 1973 and brought it to the islands in 1979.

When Ayers bought the company in 2007, he thought seriously about moving it to the Bay Area, but since moving here has not had second thoughts about the decision. “My family and the families of my employees love being here, and so do I,” said Ayers.

The company makes high-tech, ultra-thin opti-cal filters using exotic met-als, metallic compounds and polymers. Most are used in space flight and plasma physics research, but the company is develop-ing commercial uses such as watchfaces for high-end watches, using beautiful nano-thickness foils mar-keted under the Luxefoil

brand name.About 100 different Luxel

filters are manufactured per year for about 150 different customers worldwide, many of them national space pro-grams. A current “large” contract calls for five hand-made filters for Japanese government science satel-lites, each performing a dif-ferent filtering function and each less than one micron (.001 millimeters) thick.

Ayers’s company has 18 “highly valued” employees, many of them with science PhDs. Ayers says he’s found most of his employees here, “many with advanced degrees,” but also assembly workers whom he has to train. He thinks high school science and technology education programs like STEM are “critically impor-tant” to his company and to other companies which

might move here.A relatively high cost-of-

living scale is a challenge, says Ayers, “but it’s balanced out by the quality of life” in the islands. Ayers thinks bringing customers, both foreign and domestic, to San Juan Island is an advan-tage to establishing the close person-to-person relation-ships his company depends on for repeat business.

UW Medicine and PeaceHealth on May 20 signed a letter of intent to create a strategic affiliation to provide patients with access to comprehensive care in the Pacific Northwest and to cooperate on medical training at UW and PeaceHealth locations.

The letter of intent, dated May 20, is expected to be followed up by definitive agreements by Sept. 30, 2013. According to the press release, the two organizations will remain legally separate and independent; system gover-nance will not be affected; and government regulatory approval is not required.

PeaceHealth is the owner and operator of Peace Island

Medical Center in Friday Harbor. Peace Island Medical Center, which opened in November, 2012, was constructed with a $20 million capital contribution from PeaceHealth and $10 million in private donations, mostly from island residents. The San Juan County Hospital District con-tributes $1 million per year from property taxes to PIMC operations.

“The strategic affiliation between PeaceHealth and UW Medicine offers significant benefits to people in our geo-graphic region due to the opportunity to provide the full continuum of care – primary through quaternary levels – more seamlessly and with a unique patient experience,” said Peter Adler, Chief Strategy Officer for PeaceHealth.

Community and Economic Development for five years. From 1998 to 2005, he was a senior policy analyst in the King County Executive’s office.

Thomas graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor of Arts in geography and then earned a Masters degree in public administration from Seattle University. He is married and has two children.

The county manager will replace the previous position of county administrator, a position originally created by the county charter, then eliminated in one of three amend-ments proposed by the Charter Review Commission and approved by voters in November. That vote also reduced the county council from six part-time legislators to three full-time elected positions vested with both legislative and executive duties.

The duties of the county manager include assisting the new 3-person county council in overseeing the functions of local government and departments not managed by another elected county official, such as the sheriff, auditor or prosecuting attorney.

County Council Chairman Jamie Stevens said his deci-sion focused on Thomas’s “collaborative style” and familiar-ity with state law, especially related to Thomas’s extensive experience with land use planning and the state’s Growth Management Act. Stevens said he was also the top candi-date of the citizens’ committee and of the county employees’ committee that for several hours last week interviewed the five finalists seeking the job.

One citizens’ committee member told the council Thomas was “thoroughly professional and very approachable.”

Stevens also mentioned “positive responses of citizens at the open houses” held May 13 on Orcas, Lopez and San Juan islands.

Local officials circulated electronic maps showing alternative routes for trav-elers to take to reach the ferry landing in Anacortes to the local media less than 24 hours after the bridge plummeted into the Skagit River. The Memorial Day weekend has long been thought of as the unofficial start of tourist season in the San Juans.

Friday Harbor Mayor Carrie Lacher said she’s

used alternate routes many times, including taking the Mulkiteo-Clinton ferry.

“Both locals and tourists will enjoy the scenic routes whether coming from the south or the north,” she said.

Emergency Services Manager Brendan Cowan said he was in touch with air, rail and water trans-portation providers, and all indicated they would step up to provide additional services as needed.

Ranker said early esti-mates indicate repair of the bridge may cost $15 million.

Todd Banks of Kenmore Air, which during summer months flies some 7,500 passengers per month to the islands utilizing both land-based and seaplanes, said they would add reserve planes to regular-ly scheduled routes if the number of advance res-ervations warrants more daily capacity.

“We’ve done this many times on busy summer routes,” Banks said, “and we’re ready to assist our valued San Juan Islands customers in their time of need.”

The collapse was appar-ently caused when a giant over-sized steel girder being transported on I-5 whacked a load-bearing arch at full speed, accord-ing to San Juan County Superintendent of Public

Works Frank Mulcahy, a civil engineer who offered an “off the cuff ” assessment at the Friday afternoon briefing.

“Our state bridge engi-neer is looking into the possibility that an over-size load may have struck the bridge. Still investi-gating,” the Washington State Department of Transportation tweeted on Thursday night.

The 1,111-foot steel-truss bridge was built in 1955, according to the nongov-ernmental website nation-albridges.com, which offers a searchable database of the National Bridge Inventory compiled by the Federal Highway Administration. It was built before the freeway for U.S. 99.

The database classifies the Skagit River bridge over I-5 as “functionally obso-lete,” which indicates the design is not ideal, but it is not rated as “structurally deficient.”

“‘Functionally obso-lete’ does not communi-cate anything of a struc-tural nature,” according to nationalbridges.com. “A functionally obsolete bridge may be perfectly safe and structurally sound but may be the source of traffic jams or may not have a high enough clear-ance to allow an oversized

New law to ease telecom upgrade

Governor Jay Inslee signed into law a bill by Representative Jeff Morris (D-Mount Vernon) to expe-dite regulatory review on new 4g upgrades to cellular towers and antennas.

House Bill 1183 updates Washington’s State Environmental Policy Act review process regarding wireless structures, exempt-ing those that are construct-ed atop e x i s t i n g bui ldings and com-m e r c i a l or indus-trial areas. According to Morris, the change will make the permitting process easier, reducing the regulatory burden for telecommunica-tions companies.

“It’s been nearly a decade since Washington did major work on our wireless infra-structure,” noted Morris. "This is a smart, environ-

mentally safe update to our law that will ensure we have the physical network of tow-ers and antennas necessary to support modern wireless services,” said Morris.

The legislation includes limitations designed to minimize physical change to structures and prevent any environmental degra-dation. Under the new law, a wireless structure may not increase the height of the structure by more than 10 percent or 20 feet, or protrude out more than 20 feet.

The law will go into effect July 27, 2013.

Anti-coal groups back wide review

A coalition of Pacific Northwest-based commu-nity groups, health pro-fessionals, environmental organizations and other groups and individu-als filed a formal petition with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers asking it to evaluate “cumulative and related impacts” of all pro-posed coal export terminals in Oregon and Washington.

Active coal export pro-posals at Cherry Point, (north of Bellingham), Longview, Wash., and Boardman, Ore., would have the capacity to export 100 million metric tons per year if all three are built.

Formally submitted by Earthjustice, the petition-ers ask the Army Corps to conduct a single, compre-hensive, area-wide envi-ronmental impact state-ment under its National Environmental Policy Act authority.

“The threats from these coal export proposals con-nect communities across the region and cannot be overlooked,” Cesia Kearns of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal Campaign said in a press release. “We have been calling for an area-wide EIS for over a year; it’s time for the Army Corps to stop sit-ting on its hands.”

More than 500 business-es, 160 elected officials, including both governors Kitzhaber and Inslee and 10 members of Congress, three dozen municipali-ties, over 100 organiza-

tions, and more than a dozen newspapers have called for a thorough review of the proposed terminals. At least 35,000 citizens wrote to the Army Corps calling for an area-wide EIS.

In the fall of 2012, the

Army Corps, Washington Dept. of Ecology, and Whatcom County Council conducted EIS scoping hearings in Washington, including one on San Juan Island, for the proposed Cherry Point coal export terminal.

have a high enough clearance to allow an oversized vehicle.”

In 2010, according to the database, the bridge carried an average of 70,925 vehicles per day. The substructure was deemed in “good condition,” and the superstructure and deck were described as in “satisfactory condition.”

The federal database says a structural evaluation of the bridge found it “somewhat better than minimum adequacy to tolerate being left in place as is.”

According to a 2012 Skagit County Public Works Department, 42 of the county’s 108 bridges are 50 years or older. The document says eight of the bridges are more than 70 years old and two are over 80.

That there were no fatalities “is a miracle,” said Ranker, who explained that emergency personnel were on the scene within minutes and the three people in the water were quick-ly retrieved from the river and transported to local hospitals and treated. According to Ranker, “everything went perfectly.”

Quaternary care is the high-est level of care for services that are the most advanced and specialized.

According to the joint press release, the organiza-tions will also work togeth-er to develop and expand community-based train-ing sites for UW School of Medicine students and trainees in communities served by PeaceHealth. The affiliation intends to improve care delivery and respond to changes needed to implement health care reform.

Neither the joint press release nor Adler referred to current disputes PeaceHealth and other Catholic-based health care systems are facing regard-ing restrictions on the

provision of reproductive services and end-of-life services addressed in the Catholic bishops’ Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services. UW Medicine, as a public institution, does not subscribe to the Ethical and Religious Directives.

The letter of intent out-lines opportunities the organizations could pur-sue together, including performance improve-ment initiatives to reduce costs and clinical pro-gramming to increase access to specialized ser-vices such as cardiovascu-lar care, high-risk obstet-rics and neonatology, can-cer care, behavioral health and neurosciences.

“PeaceHealth selected UW Medicine to be its preferred health system for complex tertiary and qua-

ternary care in the Seattle area,” said Alan Yordy, President and Chief Mission Officer for PeaceHealth. “This will give our patients enhanced access to services that we do not provide.”

The press release says the affiliation is “a huge step forward in meeting the needs of the whole patient as well as whole communities more effec-tively. In its role as the region’s only fully compre-hensive health care orga-nization covering all levels of patient care and serving as the educational institu-tion for a five-state region (Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho), UW Medicine will continue to serve patients from all communities, hos-pitals and clinics to meet their needs for complex tertiary and quaternary care.”

Blessed, inspired by your support

Last Friday night, May 17th, our family was the recipient of a fundraiser organized to assist my mother, Shann Weston, with her medical costs as she undergoes treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all). The event was incredible for our family on so many levels.

We were so speechless seeing all of your talents on display — the qual-

ity of the auction items, the cooking and baking, the art and homegrown flower displays, the orga-nizational cohesion, and musical talent was stag-gering.

And interwoven with your many talents is an altruistic spirit that can lift up and carry a family dur-ing the toughest of times. It is a rare and special gift our town has.

There was fun at the fair-grounds that night, and lots of it. Every single person in that building was some-one we are always lucky to spend time with, and to have you all together at once, well, that was a plain honor.

We are so lucky and so blessed and so apprecia-tive to share an island with all of you. The fundraiser was a poignant and beau-tiful lesson in community involvement and we are rejuvenated by your love and support.

With very full hearts, we will be trying to pay it for-ward.

Thank you for all your contributions, generos-ity, time, effort and talent. Know that every bit helps as my mom moves forward with her treatment. We are forever grateful.

OpiniOn

6 — Wednesday, May 29, 2013 The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com

By F. Milene Henley, San Juan County auditorA question I hear a lot is: “Why doesn’t the county run itself more like a business?” Having wondered that myself at one point, I could now write a book about the ways

government and private industry differ, and why they can’t run the same way. In one way we are still similar, however: we project revenues and costs for a given budget period, and we hope that we achieve the revenues and don’t exceed the costs.

The first quarter of 2013 was a disappointment, at least on the revenue side. In particu-lar, sales tax revenue to San Juan County did not meet expectations. Whether the county can meet revenue projections for the year will depend on activity picking up in this and other key sectors in the following quarters.

First quarter sales tax collections in 2013 lagged first quarter collections in each of the previous five years except 2011, and for no obvious reason. Having enjoyed a fairly mild weather this winter, we can’t blame the weather for lack of sales. Notably also, retail trade statewide was up in the first quarter compared to 2012.

Real estate sales were mixed. On San Juan Island, both dollar volume and number of transactions were significantly down (22 percent and 18 percent, respectively), compared to first quarter last year. Orcas picked up the slack, with a 73 percent increase in dol-lar volume and a 36 percent increase in number of transactions. Transactions on other islands were flat.

Countywide, there was a 9 percent increase in dollar volume over first quarter 2012.Income to the county from real estate sales comes in the form of real estate excise tax:

0.5 percent of a sale price for capital improvement funds, and 1 per-cent for Land Bank funds. With increased sales countywide, excise tax collections in the first quarter have been strong, and increasing each month.

Another favorable revenue area is permitting and planning, which holds the promise of future building and associated sales tax revenue.

First quarter 2013 revenue in this area almost matched the first quarter of 2012, which ended as our strongest year since 2008.

Total Current Expense (general fund) collections for the first quarter just met budget projections, despite low sales tax collections. Part of this achievement is because of unusually high intergovern-mental funding in Health and Community Services. Unfortunately, the high level of this income was a timing issue and does not reflect

any real increase in revenue. So, while it made the first quarter look good, it is no substi-tute for lost sales tax revenue.

But what really bothers me about this shortfall in sale tax revenue to the county, is that it implies also a shortfall in sales for our local businesses. Just when we thought we were coming out of this economic malaise, we seem to have taken another step backwards.

I’m hopeful that the setback is temporary, and that sales tax – and sales – will recover over the rest of the year. For myself, I’m going to do my part by making sure I buy locally and support my local businesses.

I encourage you to do the same.

Editorial

Stance united The collapse of the I-5 Skagit River bridge

at Mount Vernon last week reminds us of the fragility of this county’s transporta-

tion and communication links with the main-land. Even when those links are well-tended, accidents happen that threaten lives, property and economic well-being.

Coming as it did on the eve of the summer tourist season, the bridge collapse starkly high-lights the economic effect of breakages in those links.

As the state and national officials renew talk of renewing our infrastructure, we hope they’ll keep in mind the ferry system, local roads and underwater cables that islanders depend on.

As always, local officials and business com-munity activists quickly came together to size up the potential for problems caused by the collapse, and to marshal a community wide response to mitigate negative effects on tourism.

Here at the Journal, we were somewhat sur-prised to see how swiftly local officials could rally and reach out to enlist the help even of the media in circulating information about travel alternatives for those who may have been recon-sidering a holiday trip to the islands. The mes-sages came pouring forth in less than 24 hours.

The response, over there and over here, was and is encouraging and heartening. Local and state officials showed how efficiently and effec-tively they can make the emergency systems work.

We congratulate everyone here, in Skagit County and in Olympia on the fast response times and the “no lives lost” result. We look for-ward to congratulating everyone again on the speed of the bridge repairs.

We were all shown once again why we can have confidence that in matters great and small, our officials and leaders will make good deci-sions and take right actions when difficult times are upon us.

Ed Carlberg passed away peacefully in his beloved San Juan Island home on May 15, 2013, after a short illness.

Born in Seattle on Nov. 15, 1922, Ed grew up in Centralia, Port Angeles, and Kent, Wash. During his freshman year at the University of Washington he joined the Beta Theta Pi frater-nity, signed up for Navy ROTC, rowed crew, and fell in love with Elizabeth Ann “Betty” Fairburn.

His college education was interrupt-ed when he was called to active duty as a Navy lieutenant in 1944, finding himself at age 21 serving as a ship’s officer in the Philippines and South Pacific.

Upon his safe return he mar-ried Betty and both finished their degrees, Ed earning two degrees in engineering.

He joined the Boeing Airplane Company as an engineer in 1949,

spending the next 30 years managing a variety of engi-neering groups. An early pioneer in the field of CAM (Computer Aided Manufac tur ing) , he was manager of technology for Boeing Computer

Services back when computers were still quite rare. He raised a family in Seattle and was a founding member and SCUBA instructor for the Boeing Seahorses skindiving club.

Upon his retirement, Ed and Betty moved to the west side of San Juan Island and built their dream home, just the two of them, from the foundations up. They enjoyed frequent vacations to the Caribbean, Hawaii, and South Pacific.

Ed was very active in the com-munity, as a member and past com-modore of the San Juan Island Yacht Club, member of the Power Squadron, treasurer for the Mullis Senior Center, elected freeholder for San Juan County and volunteer fire fighter.

Gracious and fun-loving, Ed was loved and respected by everyone who came in contact with him.

Preceded in death by his beloved wife of 67 years, Betty, and by his daughter Dr. Kristen Carlberg, he is survived by another daughter, Dr. Karen Carlberg (Spokane), son Robert Carlberg (Edmonds), one grandchild, and sister Barbara Belnap (Pasadena, Calif.). No services are planned.

In his honor, please support the San Juan Preservation Trust, which was very important to Ed.

I brought up her name at our board meeting: Chinmayo has applied to purchase a home in Sun Rise, and every-one suddenly applauded.” Not the usual reaction at an

often serious-minded San Juan Community Home Trust meeting, recounted Nancy DeVaux, Home Trust Executive Director.

That reaction springs from the enthusiasm and happy energy the well-known community artist brings to her new island address and adventure. Because homeowners at Sun Rise are required to put in “sweat equity” by working on landscaping, Chin’s vision, leadership and energy are a perfect fit.

“Of course this garden is small, I think that’s perfect. And see this water feature I’m building?” It’s the centerpiece of a small garden with circles of rocks, perennials, shrubs, shells, even fruit trees, outside her new home. There is also a view over the gravel pit to Griffin bay as she works. In the usual Chinmayo fashion, she has already recruited the young boy next door as her helper. She is also looking to reach out to others in the Sun Rise complex to share her latest visions.

“Wouldn’t it be great to get together and build a trellis all around this place – I think that could help keep the deer out, don’t you? Although I do think we can grow enough fruit for the deer and for us,” she exclaims.

For islanders who’ve known Chinmayo, this enthu-siasm for creating commu-nity through her art (and music) is nothing new. San Juan Island is brimming with the projects she has led to fruition – usually with the involvement of island stu-dents. She taught art classes for years and realized that art can be something communi-

ties can create and do together. The Compass Rose installed behind the High School

came first – a senior class project, funded in part by a grant from the San Juan Island Community Foundation.

Following that, island elementary school children were the main participants in the beautiful and delightfully tiled "Welcome Wall" at the new Spring Street Landing terminal. The entrance to the Fairgrounds, the entrance to the sculp-ture park at Westcott Bay, and the decorative tiles around the door at the kindergarten classroom were all done by local kids, led by Chinmayo.

“Of course, I get lots of help from others,” she says. “Beth Spadafora is always involved, so is Liesha Holmes, Beth Hetrick, Carolyn Haugen, and people in the community often step up to help pay for these projects – and I’m not really earning my living with this stuff.”

Actually, Chinmayo earns her living working the night shift at Village at the Harbour, working with Alzheimer’s patients. “That gives me time to do this fun stuff.”

She also puts on the Music at the Port program each year and, if a singer doesn’t show up, Chin steps in. Singing is another of her talents.

One Chinmayo project still awaits community and finan-cial support – the long blank wall on Blair Street, behind the Earth Box Motel. She has the permits - and the design - which will show a history of the island - but the needed financial support is not yet there.

Meanwhile, Chin digs another hole in her Sun Rise garden. “Look at all these plants

that people have given me from their gardens. This new home is one of the greatest things that ever happened to me in my life. I want to make it even more beautiful – and involve everyone who lives here.”

No one could doubt that she will.

By Scott RasmussenJournal editor

Get a small group of talented artists together and something creative is bound to spring up.

Need proof? Then look no further than the Annual San Juan Island

Artists Studio Tour. It’s May 31 and June 1. The tour, now in its 22nd year, has long served as a

weekend-long showcase for a vast array of intriguing island-created endeavors of all shape, size, dimension and medium. You’ll no doubt find that to be the case by stop-ping in at any, or all, of the 15 studios on display as part of this year’s safari of island art, which will feature the work of 41 separate artists.

But it’s more than just about the finished product. The essence of the tour, as first conceived by a handful of local artists two decades ago, is right there in its name: studio.

“Back in the beginning the whole idea for having the studio tour was to be able to show people how and where art is made, rather than just where its shown,” recalls Mary Sly, who’s been designing hand-drawn and hand-painted silk garments for more than 30 years, and whose participation in the tour, both as an artist and featured studio, dates back to the square one (Sly’s Sunrise Ridge Road studio is No. 2 on the tour brochure).

Tour co-founder and encaustic artist Yvonne Bujis-Mancuso says part of the original idea was to de-mystify the creative pro-cess. Opening the doors of the creative workshop offers the tour-goer a

gateway into the

everyday life of an artist and a good look at the surround-ings in which an artist creates, and at the place where inspiration turns into art.

The tour is intended to be as much about education as it is about art itself, she said.

“People get to see the art and how it’s made, where we live, the creative process in action and where we get our inspiration,” said Bujis-Mancuso (Studio No. 13). “It’s more than just about the art.”

Demonstrations, watching an artist in action, has evolved into one of tour’s hallmarks.

Paula West of Paula West Pottery estimates anywhere between 150-200 people drop by her studio over the course of the weekend. This year is the fifth that her stu-dio (Studio No. 12) will be featured, and she expects inter-est will run high in watching the five artists her studio will host, including herself, in action.

“People get excited see what’s new, I get a lot are return-ees,” West said. “And they like to see the process. I try to have something going on for a demonstration but some-times it gets a little too busy.”

And busy is precisely what many of the studio-artists have been to make sure all is prepared for the weekend ahead.

“It takes a lot of energy to get ready for it, when you know you’ll be sharing your space,” says Laurie Burns, nationally renowned for her glass artwork. Burns (Studio No. 10) says she spends a good deal of time making sure that her studio, home, yard and garden are all ship shape. It appears to pay off. “I think it’s interesting that people get to see such an intimate space. For a lot of artists it’s almost a sacred space they’ve put together so they can create. People are very gracious about the amount of work that goes into this.”

22nd Anniversary

Renowned “plucked instruments” virtuoso John Schneiderman will be the featured performer in the Salish Sea Early Music Festival’s final show of the season.

A specialist in performance and repertoire of 18th cen-tury lutes and 19th century guitars, Schneiderman will be accompanied by festival artistic director Jeffrey Cohan, an awarding winning flutist in his own right, in present- ing the 2013 finale, “Giulianiad: The Music of Mauro Giuliani”, Sunday, June 2, at San Juan Island No.966 Grange Hall in Friday Harbor, beginning at 7 p.m.

Heralded by many as the most famous com- poser of music for flute and guitar, Giuliani, a friend of Beethoven, is con- sidered a guitar virtuoso whose music is rarely heard on the instruments with which he and Beethoven were familiar. Giuliani composed the “cream” of the flute and guitar duo repertoire from Beethoven’s time, Cohan

says, which includes duos, serenades, divertimenti, march-es, dances, and arrangements of opera melodies and other popular tunes of his day in variations and potpourris.

The Giulianiad was a journal for guitarists published in London a few years after Giuliani’s death in 1829.

Authors: 2-for-1 at Griffin Bay

Two Northwest writ-ers will make a return appearance, as Griffin Bay Bookstore hosts a book talk and signing featuring authors Erica Bauermeister and Jennie Shortridge.

The two share the spot-light Saturday, June 1, beginning at 7 p.m.

Bauermeister's latest novel, "The Lost Art of Mixing" picks up where she left off with five char-acters from an earlier novel, School of Essential Ingredients. Lives collide, mix about, sift together and separate again as in the story of Lillian and her res-taurant, Al, an accountant

tied to numbers and ritual, Chloe, a promising chef in training, but emotionally handicapped by a broken heart, and Louise, Al's wife, whose anger simmers just below boil, and Isabelle, whose memory is slipping slowly from her grasp.

Bauermeister is author of three novels and two books of nonfiction. She lives in Seattle.

The latest novel by Jennie Shortridge is a matter of identity and trust.

Author of five novels, Shortridge delves into the question of how well we know those we love, and how well we know our-selves, in her latest book, "Love Water Memory".

Set mostly in Seattle, the novel is part detective story and part journey of discov-ery as Lucie, who wakes up knee-deep in San Francisco Bay, and then diagnosed with a rare form of amne-sia, tries to piece together her past, and a new-found sense of both the present, and the future. Shortridge is a founding member of Seattle7Writers.org, a group devoted to raising

awareness of Northwest literature.

Spirits revisited in ‘spooky’ stroll

In observance of Heritage Month, local genealogy researcher Robin Jacobson and Town of Friday Harbor historic preservation coordinator Sandy Strehlou are joining forces (safety in numbers?) for a walking tour of his-toric — and some believe haunted —sites in Friday Harbor.

Ghost stories not only permeate local lore and legend, they also lend added interest to historic buildings. On this walk you will look through a window remembering a scandal in 1897, which makes that spot unworldly

active today. You’ll hear about a little girl ghost, her little dog ghost and a visit-ing 19th century gentleman named Walter who has yet to check out of the guest room of his inn.

You’ll find out how we know the identity of the vanishing lady in the black

duster. Perhaps you have a spooky story of your own to share. Bring it on.

Around Town

For the established art-ists, like Burns, Sly, Bujis-Mancuso and West, one of the highlights of the tour is the newcomers, artists and studios. Dollahite Studios, home to popular painters B.J. and Matt Dollahite, and Waldronshire Studios, the creative workshop of wood-worker Richard Waldron, are each making a debut as part of the 2013 tour.

Burns will be hosting guest artist Janie Ogle, creator of hand-painted silk scarves, while Sly, the hand-painted silk garment artist, will host painter Alice Shull and her col-

lection of dazzlingly color-ful oil pastels and charcoal paintings. It’ll be some-what of a family affair at Paula West Pottery, as West will host husband Joe Cooper, a mixed-media artist, and sculptor Tom Small and daughter Fiona Small, a mixed-media art-ist as well.

In the host department, Bujis-Mancuso tops the list, sharing space and the weekend with five guest artists. She wouldn’t have it any other way.

“It just makes it that much more enjoyable,” she said.

For a complete list of studios, artists, and map, visit, www.sanjuanisland-artists.com.

It’s more than just about flowers and plants. The San Juan Island Garden Tour is about ideas and

inspiration, and discovering ways to turn a green island thumb that much greener.

The 13th annual San Juan Island Garden Tour will feature four of the island’s finest, a diverse bunch, ranging from a modestly sized garden with raised beds and hoop houses, anchored by a fruit and vegetable enterprise, to one that features flowers, vegetables and a circular walk through a surrounding forest on the grounds of a secluded bed-and-breakfast.

“Each garden has its own personal flair and all are tes-timony to the persistence and dedication of their owners,” says Fiona Norris of San Juan Horticultural S o c i e t y, one of the tour sponsors.

T h e 2013 Garden Tour is June 8. The gardens will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It’s what’s known as a “self- drive” tour, so, as always, you can spend as much time, or as little, at each of the four as you chose. Directions to the gardens are provided at the time tickets are purchased and docents will be on hand to help guide you through each

garden and answer questions. The 2013 Garden Tour is presented by the newly formed

San Juan Island Garden Consortium, which, along with longtime sponsors San Juan Horticultural Society and WSU Master Gardeners, includes the San Juan Island Garden Club. In addition to being inspiring and a whole lot of fun, the gar-den tour is a fundraiser as well. Proceeds benefit the Master Gardener’s demonstration garden (located near the intersec-tion of Market and Nash streets, next to the Family Resource Center) and the Flower Hall exhibit at the County Fair. The money also helps to pay for a printed edition of the Fair’s premium booklet, a cause spearheaded by the garden club.

Tickets are $15 per person, available the week before the tour at: Browne’s Garden Center, Griffin Bay Bookstore, Robin’s Nest and Roche Harbor Resort Grocery.

Division champs, a top 10 world-ranked quartet and San Juan Island’s own barbershop masters bring sweet harmonies to San Juan Community Theatre Sunday, June 2, at 2 p.m.

Celebrating its 15th year in Friday Harbor, Barbershop Bonanza has grown into a popular Sunday afternoon medley of contemporary and old-time favorites honoring this uniquely American music with four-part harmonies.

Hosted by San Juan’s mixed barbershop chorus, Island Chordsmen Plus and featuring the island’s local

women’s a cappella ensem-ble, Sound Vibrations, (both directed by Angel Michaels), the Bonanza adds two mainland groups this year to complete the entertainment.

Based in Bellingham, the men’s a cappella chorus Mt. Baker Toppers recently won the 2013 Evergreen District Division I championship in British Columbia. The Toppers perform a variety of musical genres including pop, doo-wop and gospel.

Ranked 9th best barber-shop quartet in the world in 2012, Via Voice also scored the highest in the quartet division at the Evergreen District finals this year. The Pacific Northwest group’s 4-part harmony styles include arrangements that infuse traditional barber-shop with '40s and '50s jazz, and '60s and '70s rock.
