Law enforcement and victim support groups are aware of a series of alleged date rapes in the San Juans. While the cases are currently at a stand still because of victims’ reluctance to testify, the need to educate the public has become apparent.

“As an agency, prevention is a big piece of what we do,” said Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Services of the San Juans Director Kim Bryan. “We are active with prevention programs in the schools. And we’re realizing there is a whole population we need to educate: adults. A lot of women don’t know the safe party rules.”

Undersheriff Bruce Distler says the victims on Orcas and Lopez were possibly slipped drugs in their drinks prior to the sexual assault. Nationally, 55 percent of date rape cases for women and 75 percent for men involve alcohol or drugs.

The most commonly used “date rape drugs” are Rohypnol (known as a roofie) and GHB, which are central nervous system depressants and are seven to 10 times more potent than Valium. Ketamine, used as a large animal anesthetic, is also easy to slip into beverages.

“All of these come in powder or liquid form and can be laced in just about anything – and the drugs are entirely clear,” Distler said. “They all have the same gen-eral action: it takes away your ability to remember and makes you drunk.”

Predators groom their victims to create a sense of trust and use drugs that completely inca-

pacitate them. Men and women who have been given these drugs say they felt paralyzed and had blurred vision and memory loss. According to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, approxi-mately two thirds of rapes were committed by someone known to the victim and one out of every six American women has been the victim of an attempted or com-pleted rape.

Just over 100 miles away from San Juan Island, trout and salmon are returning to the Elwha River in the wake of demolition of two dams. For nearly one hundred years, those two dams blocked salmon and trout from venturing back to their primordial spawning waters.

Closer to home in Friday Harbor, Lynn Danaher and Karen Palmer are zipping around town, testing equipment and putting together final preparations for the second annual Friday Harbor Film Festival, Nov. 7-9, the aim of which is to inspire change by creating awareness.

“The film festival is a non-confrontational way to inform people about things they need to con-sider,” Danaher said. “The hope is that people chose something to be engaged in.”

One of the festival’s showcase films is “Return of

the River,” a documenta-ry chronicling the many forces that lead to the first-ever dismantling of dams in the U.S. With the Salish Sea’s Chinook salmon in decline, and orcas doing the same, the film offers a ray of hope, that restoration efforts do succeed.

Stitched carefully into the FHFF hats and vests is a school of salmon and an Orca whale, sug-gesting that the two are intertwined. “Fragile

SJ man pleads no-contest to felony assault, $10K in restitution ordered

On the heels of serving a 15-month prison sentence for felony burglary, a San Juan Island man was ordered to pay $10,000 to a crime victims fund and serve out the remain-der of a jail term on work crew after pleading no-contest to an unrelated crime, punching a man twice in the face.

On Oct. 24, Travis James Webster, 27, pleaded no-contest in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of third-degree assault, a Class C felony. He was ordered to pay $800 in fines and fees, $10,349 in restitution to the state crime victims fund, and was credited with having served part of a four-month jail term, the rest of which he will be allowed to serve out on work crew.

Prosecutors charged Webster in early August with one count of second-degree assault, a Class B felony, for strik-ing a man of similar age in the face at a late-night gathering at a Blair Avenue apartment in May 2013. At the time the charge was filed he was nearing the end of a 15-month prison sentence for felony burglary. He pleaded no-contest to the lesser offense as part of a plea deal, according to court documents.

By pleading no-contest, known as an Alford plea in Washington state, a defendant does not admit guilt to the crime of which he or she is charged, but acknowledges that if the case went to trial they would likely be convicted.

According to court documents, Webster struck the man in the face over a $50 drug debt and with such force that the repeated blows broke the man's jaw. His injuries required multiple surgeries to mend. The victim reportedly delayed notifying authorities about the assault for seven months for fear of retaliation.

Webster, also known as Travis White, is one of two men convicted a year ago of breaking into the Friday Harbor apartment of an acquaintance in mid-July 2013. In pursuit of prescription drugs at the time, they both wore masks.

They were identified by the couple whose apartment they broke into when an altercation involving all four broke out and the two would-be robbers were unmasked. The two

then fled the scene.A year ago in November, Webster was sentenced to 15

months in prison after pleading guilty to felony burglary. His accomplice, Taiya Autumn Speed, was also sentenced to 15 months in prison.

Year after assault conviction, Orcas man charged with meth possession

An Orcas Island man who served a four-month jail term a year ago after brandishing a knife at a grocery store worker faces a new felony charge, possession of metham-phetamine.

On Oct. 24, Stanley Vincent Sing pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of posses-sion of a controlled substance, methamphetamine, and was released on $10,000 bail pending trial, which is slated for Dec. 15.

The 34-year-old was taken into custody on the morning of Oct. 19 outside the library, in Eastsound, where he had reportedly fallen asleep. He was wanted by local authorities for fail-ing to appear in court two weeks earlier in connection with the prior felony assault conviction at the time of his arrest. He was taken into custody without incident.

According to prosecu-tors, Sing had several bag-gies containing metham-phetamine in the front pocket of jacket when dep-uties arrived at the library, at about 9 a.m. They report-edly found a case for sun-

state law. We need to blame the assailant not the victim.”

Bryan says that when predators continually get away with assaults, it emboldens them to contin-ue finding victims.

“What is blowing me away is that as this is being talked about more in the community, long-time islanders are saying: ‘Oh yeah, that’s been going on around here for years,’” she said. “One assailant on Orcas has three known vic-tims but the incidents are not being reported. I want people to take this seriously – it’s happening here. We need to watch out for each other. If your friend seems drunk, step in and take her home.”

Keep yourself safeThe number one rule:

don’t leave your drink unat-tended whether you are in a bar or at a party. If someone offers to buy you a drink,

watch the bartender make it.

“Don’t accept a drink from anyone except a trust-ed friend or the bartender whom you’ve watched make the drink,” Distler said. “If you are at a party or a bar, don’t put your drink down and leave it alone.”

Bryan says it’s important to note that the number one date rape drug is alcohol. Anything that puts your judgment in a compromised position means you can’t give consent.

“If a guy keeps giving you drinks and giving you drinks – that is how most of the date rapes happen,” she said.

If you are assaultedIf you are the victim of

a sexual assault, call law enforcement or one of the DVSAS 24-hour hotlines: Orcas, 376-1234; San Juan, 378-2345; and Lopez, 468-4567.

DVSAS can help victims undergo a rape examina-tion. The results are not reported to law enforce-

ment, but it’s helpful to have in case charges are filed. It is best to collect evidence within 72 hours and vic-tims are asked to not shower beforehand. The service is free of charge and 100 per-cent confidential.

“We are community-based which means that we don’t share any information with law enforcement with-out the victim’s permission,” Bryan said. “If someone wants to move ahead with charges, we will be by your side the entire time.”

For more information about DVSAS, visit www.dvsassanjuans.org.

Looking aheadBryan and Distler are

adamant that the commu-nity needs to increase its awareness.

“If something in the back of your head doesn’t seem

right, listen to it,” Distler said. “Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security. Here in the islands, we basical-ly know everyone and we don’t have a problem leav-ing a drink on the table. If you see someone messing with a drink, tell the bar-tender. The community has to be involved with polic-ing. We can’t do it without help.”

DVSAS is hoping to put posters in the bathroom stalls of restaurants and bars on all three islands. Bryan also encourages men to help with the cause. Visit www.mencanstoprape.org for more information.

“We would love to get some men to come forward and say, ‘no, this is crazy,’” she said. “Why don’t the good guys stand up and say enough is enough?”

By Bob FergusonSpecial to the Journal

I am the father of 6-year-old twins. My wife, Colleen, and I want to raise a son who respects women, and a daugh-ter who lives in a world where she is respected and free

from violence.In September 2014, NFL football star Ray Rice’s assault

on his then-fiancée, captured on video, received signifi-cant media attention and brought to national awareness the unfortunate prevalence of domestic violence in our society.

The statistics are sobering. An estimated one-in-four women experience rape, physical assault or stalking in the context of a relationship or a date.

The Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence reports that 35 people were killed in Washington state last year as a result of domestic violence. Overwhelmingly, these tragedies are the result of men’s violence against women. They include the woman strangled and beaten by her boyfriend and the mother murdered by her daughter’s ex-boyfriend. These are our mothers, sisters, daughters and friends.

When violence against women makes the headlines, people often ask: “Why does she stay?” But this question

wrongly places the burden on the victim. It is time to stop asking “why does she stay?” and instead ask “why is he violent?”

October was Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

I am committed to lead-ing an office that works to eliminate violence against women. Our work with stakeholders has helped pass legislation to punish offend-ers and empower survivors. We dedicate grant dollars to local advocacy organizations that provide services to sur-

vivors in rural communities. Our work will continue.We can all do our part. Speak up when someone tells

inappropriate jokes or stories. If you learn your female friends or family members are experiencing violence, let them know you are there to help. Teach your children to respect themselves and others. Do not tolerate domestic violence.

Together we can make a difference for the women in our lives. When women live without fear, our whole society benefits.

glasses that contained glass pipes that were lined with charred residue nearby.

Sing served a four-month sentence after pleading guilty in August 2013 to one count each of felony assault and misdemeanor theft fol-lowing a confrontation in early July of that year with a grocery store worker over shoplifting.

He reportedly pulled a knife on the employee, who

followed him outside the store, threatened him and then fled on foot. He was found a short time later hid-ing in the brush at Crescent Beach and taken into cus-tody.

Three months ago, he was ordered to serve one week in jail for failing to comply with court orders by under-going a substance abuse evaluation. A warrant was issued for his arrest Sept. 26 for failing to appear in court.

Let’s say you’ve found a house that costs $250,000 today, at 4.41% your monthly Mortgage Payment with Interest would be $1,253.38.

But you’re busy, you like your apartment, moving is such a hassle...You decide to wait till the end of next year to buy and all of a sudden, that same house is $270,000, at 5.7%. Your new payment per month is $1,567.08.

The di� erence in payment is $313.70 PER MONTH! That’s like taking a $10 bill and tossing it out the window EVERY DAY! The annual additional cost would be $3,764.40!

Remember, for every 1% that interest rates go up, the a� ordability of the house goes down 10%. So if you qualify for a $250,000 loan today, after rates go up 1%, you’d qualify for a $225,000 home.

stories, brazen adventurers, and the marine food chain at risk are just a few of the themes explored at the fes-tival.

In tradition with last year’s festival, this year features several films with a uniquely local element. “Red Sky in Mourning,” depicts San Juan Island’s Tami Ashcroft and her harrowing story of survival at sea. Ashcroft lost her fiancee on the voyage, and struggled on the water for 141 days until she reached land.

“A Gentlemen of Adventure” tells the extraordinary life story of San Juan’s late Ernest K. Gann, in which pilot, writer, and sailor, were only a few of the hats he wore.

“Shenandoah,” the Academy Award nominated film from 1965, will be shown in honor of the film’s director, the late Andrew McLaglen, who adopted San Juan as his home. McLaglen is this year’s recipient of the festival’s “Local Hero” award, and the first-ever “Lifetime Achievement” award. Both awards will be presented to McLaglen’s family Fri., Nov 7, 8 p.m.

Danaher and Palmer have each put in more than 1,000 hours of their time, and have donated a good chunk of change to the cause, but they haven’t brought the film festi-val to life entirely on their own.

“I think it’s really telling to look at the sponsors page in the program,” Palmer said. “Now that’s community sup-port.”

Designed to make the festival more affordable and acces-

sible is the new “multi-punch card” system of ticketing. Festival-goers can purchase single tickets, or punch cards of four, eight, or 12 films. Cards can be shared among friends and family, so a family of three can see four movies. The greater the number of films you purchase, the more cost-effective it becomes.

A $120 pass gives you access to all of the films, in addi-tion to entry into Saturday’s Filmmakers’ Soiree, beginning at 6:30 p.m., Nov. 7, at the San Juan Island Yacht Club.

New this year is the debut of the Young Filmmakers Project, which will showcase the best films submitted by local students, as selected by the festival’s panel of judges. This event is free, and begins at 12 p.m., Nov. 8, at the Whale Museum.

Throughout the weekend, film-goers can vote for their favorite films on the ballot inserted into the programs. The Audience Choice Award will be announced Nov. 9, 8 p.m., at the Whittier Theatre. The winning film will be screened again at this time. The audience can also vote on the best films from each category. Categories include Explorers and Adventurers, Tales from the Heart, Things to Consider, and Local Heroes.

Although the festival is sure to inspire people to action on issues that speak to their heart, its overall purpose is to entertain.

“You’re not going to get anybody educated if you don’t entertain them first,” Danaher said.

The festival begins at 10 a.m., Fri., Nov. 7. Venues include San Juan Community Theatre, Friday Harbor House, and the Grange Hall. Tickets can be purchased from the SJCT Box office.

3D printing, designing apps, software innova-tion—Friday Harbor High School students are in the crux of technology centered education.

The new Science Technology Engineering and Math building, under renovation at Friday Harbor High School, was set forth by a $1M state grant. The building is intended to enhance hands-on learning, relevant to the ages, and bet-ter prepare kids for the current job market.

“We want the school system to reflect the twenty first century technology,” FHHS Superintendent Richard Thompson said. “The economy is changing quickly in a digital age.”

What functioned as a wood shop, metal shop, and general storage space will be transformed into a space with a large work shop, two multi-purpose classrooms, a media production room, and an equipment room.

Students are excited for the new building and it’s programs, some of which have been inspired by STEM based classes already functioning.

Through a Computer-Aided Design indepen-dent study, complete with a laser cutter, 3D printer, and router, senior Carter Fuherbush found his niche.

“I like making things with machines, I’d just like to learn more,” he said. “The class inspired me, I want to go to Bellingham Tech and study to be a machinist.”

The grant to renovate the building into a STEM center was awarded in July 2013, and under its conditions all of the money must be spent within two years. The completion of the building is anticipated for June 2015.

The majority of the awarded funds went to heating, ventilation, plumbing and electrical work for the building. There will be extra costs for the high-end technology needed for pro-grams within the building, which Thompson said can be paid for out of the capital levy.

Thompson hopes to eventually develop more partnerships (such as those already established with Island Rec and Island Museum Association), and is looking to donors for increased funding. Professional development funds from the state will also be sought to train teachers in some of the new fields. Fundraising initiatives to have an endowed chair overseeing STEM curriculum is also in the future.

So why STEM?According to the organization Washington

STEM, Washington ranks No. 1 in the country in the concentration for STEM jobs, with 23,200 unfilled jobs per year as a result of a job skills gap.

This, in alignment with an already scien-tific community, Thompson said, is why FHHS is going in this direction.

The school is pairing with Communities in Solar, and plans to install solar panels. The project will be integrated into the curriculum

in whatever ways possible, for example studying and documenting energy savings.

Above all, Thompson recognizes the funds as a gift, in which only 2-3 of its kind are awarded throughout the state each year. With FHHS already ranked number 11 in high schools throughout the state, and 612 in the nation—odds are good the school’s standings will only continue to increase.

With enrollment in decline, Thompson hopes the new programs will attract families to Friday Harbor.

“We want a challenging education for these kids,” he said. “And enhance their ability to achieve in college and career.”

STEM: it’s the buzz word at FHHS

Solar for schools? We’re electrified

As superintendents of our San Juan Islands public schools, we believe in edu-cating our students for the future.

Renewable energy is our future. We believe in providing our students with the tools they need to find meaningful work and make the best decisions for tomorrow.

Collectively, we are excited for the opportunity to partner with Bonneville Environmental Foundation and the San Juan Islands Conservation District to bring renewable energy cur-riculum into our schools and install solar power without added cost for the schools.

We applaud the part-nership between Islands Energy, San Juan Islands Conservation District, OPALCO, and Bonneville Educational Foundation. Each group is working towards the goal of raising funds and cultivating ener-gy awareness.

Schools are large con-sumers of energy, especially with the increased use of electricity-based technol-ogy. As a large consumer of energy, solar power makes financial sense, promotes good stewardship and responsibility for our envi-ronment.

Now is the time to move into solar power because of the reduction in cost for photovoltaic panels, includ-ing installation; and, the Community Solar For Our School program, which provides a unique funding

model to put solar power into and onto our schools.

Going solar also pro-vides a valuable educational opportunity.

Panels installed on roof-tops become part of the classroom. Students will have first-hand experience of the practical benefits of solar panels. They will directly witness electricity genera-tion from solar and gain an understanding of how solar power can positively impact the environment.

This is an opportunity for hands on, on-site sci-ence. Students will be able to observe energy use and production in real time.

Bonneville Education Foundation will provide teacher training and renew-able energy curriculum for students at each of the schools on Lopez, San Juan, Orcas and Shaw islands.

By creating the real-ity of renewable energy in our local schools we are all demonstrating to our stu-dents, and beyond, the ben-efits of solar power.

Community contribu-tions are fundamental—that’s why we support the Community Solar for Our Schools.

A big ‘High-5’ for getting informed

On behalf of the League of Women Voters of the San Juans, I would like to thank the citizens, press and candidates for office who attended our recent Voters’ Forums. I also want to thank the workers at the county Elections Office for diligently providing timely

information.More than 200 people

from San Juan, Orcas and Lopez engaged the candi-dates and issue representa-tives in lively discussion.

We served cake at all three locations as the LWVSJ celebrates its 20th year of providing informa-tion on issues and an oppor-tunity for civil discourse in the islands. Thank you for attending.

DIANE MARTINDALEPresident, LWVSJ

Accidents occur; are we prepared?

Disaster averted. Last weekend, the Russian

cargo ship Simushir, “carry-ing mining equipment and unnamed solvents, as well as hundreds of tonnes of bun-ker and diesel fuel” (accord-ing to The Canadian Press), lost power and was drifting toward Haida Gwaii (aka Queen Charlotte Islands).

Fortunately, disaster was averted this time, when a tug finally reached the dis-abled ship and towed it to dock in Prince Rupert B.C.

In stormy seas and with emergency equipment miles away, the Haida people had reason to fear the worst. This time they got lucky.

Accidents happen. Islands are precious. That’s why we would like to protect ours.

With the proposed increase in shipping coal, crude oil, and natural gas through our island water-ways (on tankers two or more times larger than the Simushir), are we just hop-ing to get lucky, too? Or will we be prepared?

If we are not able to pre-vent the shipping expan-sion, then we deserve the best protection we can get.

Please ask our repre-sentatives for emergency response towing and oil-spill response equipment, and personnel to be sta-tioned in our own county.

The equipment and per-sonnel at Neah Bay and Anacortes are not close enough to avert disaster—particularly in the most dangerous sections of Haro Strait and Boundary Pass, and especially at Turn Point.

The San Juan Islands deserve to be protected and we need to make sure that happens.

Foundation’s aid; music to our ears

The school year has start-ed, the San Juan County Fair is a fun-but-fading memory, and here in the school band room the student music programs are thriving.

This note is to thank the San Juan Island Community Foundation for their gener-

ous support to our school band programs.

Last spring the Band Family & Friends group was thrilled when a pro-posal submitted to San Juan Island Community Foundation was funded. The grant financed both a recording and composition studio for high school stu-dents and additional fund-ing for repair or replace-ment of many musical instruments for students in the seven school bands.

In addition, the Foundation booth at the fair invited high school players to showcase their great music whilst raising additional support with a matching challenge from the Foundation.

We want you to know how much we appreciate the SJIC Foundation and our community. We invite you to hear the pep band at home football and basket-ball games, Jazz Band when featured at the community dinner, usually January and June, the Golf Classic, and

all the bands from grades 6-12 at the December and May concerts. We welcome your participation and if you are interested in learn-ing more about the Band Family & Friends organi-zation that supports music programs in the school, please contact Sarah Bost ([email protected]). Thank you San Juan Island.

Editorial

Down in frontWith ballots cast and election season in

the rear-view mirror, and your civic duty done (right?), what better way to

reward yourself than by… going to the movies. And, what a menu from which to choose. The Friday Harbor Film Festival, three full

days of cinematic splendor featuring stories from all across the Pacific Rim, from the arctic to the tropics, and with plenty of the Salish Sea in between, gets under way this Friday.

We weren’t quite sure how the Film Fest brain-trust would follow up on its blockbuster inau-gural year, and, admittedly, we remain uneasy about the shift from mid-October to the first weekend in November.

But if this year’s lineup is any measure, with 33 full-length documentaries, a dozen short films, Filmmakers’ Forum sequel and first-ever show-case of select movies by young filmmakers, the 2nd annual FH Film Fest promises to make the first a distant— although dear—memory.

In addition to the story of the infamous Colton Harris-Moore, aka The Barefoot Bandit, the lineup includes a bio-pic about the late Ernest K. Gann, a familiar to many, harrowing story of survival at sea, “Red Sky in Mourning,” removal of the Elwha River dams, “Return of the River,” the precarious fate of the local orca whales and Chinook salmon, “Fragile Waters,” as well as tributes to the late, acclaimed Hollywood director and patron of island arts, Andrew V. McLaglen.

If you have yet to pick up the Film Fest bro-chure, then do so; see what’s in store. You’ll be glad you did.

PUBLIC MEETINGS

By Shaun HubbardSpecial to the Journal

Thank you to the Journal and Emily Greenberg for writing the article about the Shell refinery pro-posed expansion, “Proposal to deliver crude by rail

prompts concerns over shipping,” Oct 20, 2014. For San Juan Islanders for Safe Shipping (aka Safe

Shippers), “concerns” is too mild. While mainlanders are vocal in their insistence on safe

rail transport of coal and crude oil, Safe Shippers are island-ers who advocate for the protection of our waters. In the entire U.S. portion of the Salish Sea, San Juan County is surrounded by the greatest risk of a major oil spill—both the existing oil spill risk and the future risk if the new and expanding terminal project proposals are approved.

The Shell refinery expansion is just one of a myriad of fossil fuel transport projects proposed in our region. Washington state’s other four refineries have already received approval for rail facilities.

The potential for the refineries to act as terminals (load-ing crude received by rail directly onto vessels) cannot be overlooked, especially if the federal ban on U.S. crude oil exports is lifted.

Two export terminal projects—planned for the shipment of U.S. coal—are awaiting draft environmental impact statements: the Gateway Pacific Terminal at Cherry Point, which, if approved, would mean an additional 487 bulk carriers per year traversing our islands’ waters; and the Millennium Bulk Terminals in Longview, which has the potential to negatively affect the Columbia River salmon population upon which our endangered Southern resident killer whales feed. We all know what the whales mean to our

island way of life. Safe Shippers are also

keeping an eye on Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion proj-ect just north of the bor-der. In addition to tripling the capacity of its existing pipeline from Alberta to Vancouver, the permit appli-cation for this expansion includes increased pipeline capacity to Washington state refineries.

Safe Shippers and other island groups and individu-als—including our County

Council—will be submitting comments next March to Canada’s National Energy Board, regarding the Kinder Morgan project application.

What we intend to say is that an additional 408 tankers a year (seven times greater than Kinder Morgan’s current vessel traffic), transporting Alberta Tar Sands crude oil through our waters, poses too much risk. Too much risk to the healthy marine environment that is the foundation of our county’s economy, and too much risk without an adequate plan or funding to pay for the cleanup of a spill on the shores of our homes and public beaches.

Any and all of these projects would mean increased ves-sel traffic with its inherent increase in the risks of marine accidents and oil spills, including air and sound pollution. Every one of these consequences has the potential to inflict long-lasting damage to these islands and our quality of life.

If you would like to add your voice along with other islanders asking for prevention, protection and mitiga-tion from these accumulating threats, please e-mail me at: [email protected]. Thank you.

Did you hear over 40 local youth from San Juan, Lopez and Orcas Islands commenced at Camp Orkila for the first San Juan Youth Leadership

Conference? I should know, I was there! Meeting, mingling, and movement got us to know each

other quickly. Team-building games, skills and discus-sions were part of this experience. I also got an opportu-nity to share some of the strategic prevention framework I learned this summer at a national conference. We looked at environmental strategies and how we can effectively be a change agent for our communities. Each and every participant enjoyed, appreciated and rejoiced in this full weekend of learning, bonding and sharing. It really was special.

Without the support of the San Juan Island Prevention Coalition, Camp Orkila, and the other prevention groups and clubs from Lopez and Orcas, this educational and highly impactful experience wouldn’t have happened. I say "Thank you!" And, sharing it with teens from Lopez and Orcas made it that much more fun and effective. We talked about ways to keep coming together to share ideas and work together on projects for our communities.

I learned that people are born with leadership styles and they can change through the years. Are you a lion, a mon-key, an owl or a koala? And, we should try to honor each person’s strengths and weaknesses.

Thank you to Rick Hughes for giving an informative talk on what he does as a county councilman and offering his support to us.

We rode a very tall swing built in the tree tops. Our teammates pulled us up by a long red rope. The thrill of soaring through the trees was exhilarating. Natural highs

for this guy. We also enjoyed a rope course, where we needed the help

of others to be successful. And, we also did a trust walk, where we were blindfolded and walked in a conga line through the forest, navigated only by the sound of a team-mate’s voice, who wasn’t blindfold.

We were pushed to our “challenge zone” at times and it felt good to achieve new levels of confidence when doing so. But it was also okay to check oneself and step down, if needed. This was about knowing yourself and peer pressure never came into this. In fact, I recall only words of encour-agement being shouted.

We left our mark by planting Daffodil bulbs for next spring as a service project for the camp. Overall, it was a super fun trip and I’m looking forward to using the new skills I gained.

The live auction conclud-ed with the largest items, fol-lowed by great dance music from the fabulous J-Bots Band. A very special thank you goes out to all the busi-nesses and individuals who contributed auctions items.

The food was delicious, with BBQ chicken and beef provided and served by JR and crew, plus Cynthia Burke’s sesame green beans and lasagna, China Pearl’s pork fried rice, and two Caesar salads by Mike Scott and Bob Mancuso. Rolls were provided by Gayle Rollins, with desserts con-tributed by Larry’s Auto Body. Beverages were sup-plied by the General Store and served by Lions Club members, with coffee con-tributed and served by San

Juan Coffee Roasting Co. Everyone raved about the

meal. Also, a big thank you to the over 60 gracious vol-unteers involved in event setup and clean up.

Dave and Nadine want to let the community know the benefit was a finan-cial success and they truly appreciate and are humbled by the generosity of the community. Proceeds from the benefit will go towards expenses associated with his battle against cancer. Dave is doing well, back at work part-time at Island Glass Service. He and Nadine are looking forward to settling back into island life.

If you were unable to attend the event but still want to contribute, mon-etary gifts can be made at any Wells Fargo Bank under the Dave Hall Medical Fund account. You can also contribute with a credit card on the website www.Benef it4DaveHall .com. Thank you all.

On the eve of post-season play, the playoff-bound Friday Harbor High School boys and girls soccer teams have been crowned state champs, for prowess in the classroom, that is.

Both soccer squads were recognized as academic state champions in the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association’s 2B classification.

According to WIAA, any team with an average GPA of 3.0 or higher qualifies for a state award. A team with an average of 3.00 - 3.49 qualifies for a Distinguished Team Award, and a team with an average of 3.50-4.00 qualifies for an Outstanding Team Award.

In addition, the team with the highest average GPA for its classification is recognized as “Academic State Champion.”

The 14 members of the Friday Harbor’s boys soccer team had a collective 3.38 GPA and the 13-member girls team together averaged 3.74 for the fall quarter.

“I think it is fantastic the way our students are able to balance academics with athletic participation,” high school athletic director Rod Turnbull said. “Go Wolverines.”

Champion of the Northwest 1B/2B League, the girls team

will open post-season play, Wednesday, Nov. 5, at 2 p.m., at Mount Vernon High School.

The boys team finished fourth in the hotly contested Northwest 1B/2B League, at 11-5, and advanced in post-season play with a 2-0 win Saturday, Nov. 1, over Evergreen Lutheran. Up next, Wednesday, is Mount Vernon Christian.

By Emily GreenbergJournal Reporter

Build it and they will come. Rather, have something to build and they will come. That’s what the Experimental Aircraft Association’s local chapter President

Bob Jameison thought anyway, when he and his compatriots decided to con-struct a 1929 Pietenpol Aircamper, an open-cockpit design that can travel approxi-mately 250 miles per trip, with a wooden frame made from airplane-grade spruce, and plywood.

“This truly is an island airplane,” said Ken Norris, a pilot and local EAA member. “So far, we got all of the frame materials right here on the island.”

One’s the son an F-94 pilot, another worked for commercial airlines, the leaders of the local EAA chapter have all been involved in building dozens of airplanes—with years of aviation experience, the goal for the older gentlemen who started the project is to get younger generations involved.

The chapter’s elders swell with pride when they speak of the high school stu-dents who have lent a hand to the Pietenpol build, including Levi Demaris, a 2014 Friday Harbor High School graduate, who now attends Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, an esteemed college in Daytona Beach, Fla. Then there’s Matthew Stepita, another boy involved, who was selected as a Washington Aerospace Scholar in 2013.

With Demaris away at college, and Stepita busy with his senior year of high school—the local chapter hopes to recruit more adolescents.

“I’m one of the lucky people. I knew what I wanted to do, and I was able to do it.” Jamieson said. “My hope is that some of the younger guys find that.”

Already established in their careers, two

Island Air pilots, each in their early 30s, are dis-covering they’re not the ‘young guys’ Jamieson is hoping will be inspired to pursue flying by becoming involved in the Pietenpole build.

Ashley Gosselin and Craig Bailey both dreamed of flying since they first turned double digits, and are living their dreams today. The project, however, inspires them to do some-thing new.

Among the men who are somewhat of “seri-al” builders when it comes to airplanes—this is the first venture into airplane construction for Gosselin and Bailey.

So, when will the airplane be ready for take off? “It will fly when it will fly,” Jamieson said.

The project is underway at a leisurely pace, and Jamieson said you never put a departure date on these kind of things, as doing so introduces a great deal of pres-sure. The project is meant to be educa-tional, but above all fun.

And if you help build it, you can fly it. That’s what Gosselin is looking forward to most, stepping back in time up in the sky.

“This goes back to what aviations used to be,” he said. “It’s so regulated these days. You used to see planes like this flying out there in the middle of nowhere all of the time.”

The local EAA members have been working on the plane for about two years. They meet once a week at the EAA hanger at the Port of Friday Harbor, for a few hours.

You don’t have to be a pilot or an airplane builder to participate, but an interest is key. What all those involved have in common is a fever for flying, a high fever.

Visit the chapter’s website, www.1411.eaachapter.org, for contact information.

Scammers are targeting newspapers

Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers. Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution: Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone.

The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper, and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices, to report a problem with the customer’s credit card.

The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card. These callers are not from this newspaper.

This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments; but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method.

To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper, use these following tips:

• Ask the caller to identify himself/herself and the office he/she is calling from, including the address. If you do not recognize the caller, hang up and call your local newspaper office directly.

• Before providing payment information to a caller, ask for information that would be unknown to scammers. This could include your billing address or previous payment information. A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method, check numbers, banking institution and/or the last four digits and expiration of your credit card.

• If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined, verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement.

If you receive a scam call like this, write down all information you can about the call, such as: the caller’s name, phone number, time of day and duration of call.

If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers – Immediately contact your bank and/or credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation. Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation.

If you are a victim of this scam please contact this of�ce 360-394-8704, your local police department,

or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney General’s of�ce.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

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

ANSWERS TO PUZZLES

By Sam Paul-BarretteJournal intern

The Friday Harbor girl’s soccer team is peaking at the right time.

After starting the season at 1-4, outscored 7-2 over that five-game stretch, the Wolverines have outscored a succes-sion of opponents by a combined score of 42-6 and have lost only once since Sept. 18. They clinched a second-straight Northwest League Championship Saturday, Oct. 25, with a 5-0 win over Orcas Island and head into post-season play riding an eight-game win streak.

At 11-1 in league play and 12-4 overall, the Wolverines achieved their best regular-season record in coach Paul Hopkins’ two-year tenure.

“I think we’re playing more as a team, we’re all trying to turn it around together,” team captain Sammantha Hopkins said. “Obviously our goal is to go as far as possible in the playoffs.”

The Wolverines have not won a post-season match since 2008, however, which stands as the only playoff victory in program history.

Kaitlyn Domenech says it will take a total team effort to get the job done in unfamiliar territory.

“To play against talented teams that we’ve never seen before, we need to work as a unit more than we have all season,” she said

Based on its play so far this season, with contributions from every player, a team-oriented performance may not be anything out of the ordinary.

Friday Harbor opens the playoffs Wednesday, in a “do-or-die” elimination game against a yet-to-be-determined opponent, at 2 p.m., at Mount Vernon High School.
