By Steve WehrlyJournal reporter

In downtown Friday Harbor on a recent afternoon, one potential “man-on-the-street” gave a reporter the “you’ve got to be kidding” look and kept walking. Another, sipping cof-fee at the Crow’s Nest, said, “No. I’m too jaded.” A woman walked by briskly, saying “I’m here on business.”

But longtime disc jockey and local realtor Pat O’Day jumped at the chance to talk about the February County Council elec-tion. “This election is abso-lutely chaos,” he said. “People don’t know why they’re voting again.”

O’Day is referring to the fact that three part-time council members were elected to four-year terms last November, the same election that approved county charter amendments, proposed by the Charter Review Commission, which eliminated the present six council districts in favor of three “residency dis-tricts” comprising Orcas, San Juan and Lopez/Shaw islands. All county voters will vote for all council members in a pri-mary election on Feb. 12 and a final election on April 23. (The Lopez/Shaw district, because there are only two candidates, won’t be included in the pri-mary.)

The new full-time council will wield expanded executive powers, like the pre-Charter

Ballot bound; choices emerge

The Town of Friday Harbor is offering a $250 reward for infor-mation leading to the arrest or conviction of the person, or peo-ple, who tipped over and shattered four large planters in the breeze-way that connects Spring Street and Sunshine Alley.

The planters were damaged beyond repair in an apparent case of recurring vandalism in the early morning hours of Nov. 19, Nov. 24 and, most recently, on Jan. 13.

The town is offering the reward

as a means to put an end to the disregard and destruction of pub-lic property, Town Adminstrator Duncan Wilson said in a prepared statement.

“The purpose of offering this reward is to stop the ongoing

destruction of valuable property belonging to the citizens, and to ensure that these activities do not escalate to other serious offenses,” Wilson said.

Despite the litigious reputation of the ACLU, the San Juan County Public Hospital District again stood its ground when faced with questions about reproductive ser-vices and the subsidy from the hospital district to Peace Island Medical Center.

On Jan. 17, the Public Hospital District responded to a letter from the ACLU which raised the ques-tion whether the annual million-dollar subsidy to PIMC violates state law and the state constitution by providing county tax revenues

San Juan Island Library has a new director.The library’s board of trustees last week announced its

selection of veteran librarian Laurie Orton of Henderson, Nev., as director of the public library. Orton was chosen from a list of nearly 40 candidates that applied for the posi-tion during a regional and nationwide search.

She will be paid an annual salary of roughly $76,000 and oversee an annual operating budget totaling about $1.5 mil-lion in 2013.

Orton impressed both the board and the staff during a round of on-island interviews, said board of trustees President Barry Jacobson.

“Ms. Orton’s credentials and references were quite impressive,” Jacobson said of Orton in a prepared statement announcing her appointment. “After a day full of inter-views with her, we found her engaging and knowledgeable. We knew that she was highly qualified and an extremely

good fit for our library. She met with the staff, and their review was enthusiastic. We’re looking forward to her arrival as our new library director.”

Serving most recently as branch manager of the Lydia Malcolm Library in Henderson, Nev., for 10 years, Orton will begin her tenure as director Feb. 19. She replaces Marjorie Harrison, who, following a two-year tenure as director, left

the library at the end of October to take a position with the Oregon State Library in Salem, Oregon.

With more than 20 years in library work, Orton has spent her time gathering knowledge in a variety of academic and public libraries and departments in Austin, Ann Arbor, Boston, and the Las Vegas area. She also spent some years living in Versailles, France.

She has experience in library outreach, reference, chil-dren and adult services, digital resources, management, and community relations. She has re-opened long-closed librar-ies and grown libraries from small, storefront operations to larger, stand-alone buildings.

Orton describes herself as passionate about her love of libraries.

“I find great joy in refining a good library into a remark-able one which embodies good customer service, creative problem-solving and forward thinking.” she said. “I’m eager

to begin the job of library director and to work closely with the trustees, the staff, the volunteers and the resi-dents to ensure that the San Juan Island Library offers the best library services pos-sible.”

She describes herself as passionate about relocating to the Pacific Northwest as well. Following her inter-views, she returned several weeks later to spend a num-ber of days exploring the island and the community.

“I can’t imagine living any-where else at this point," she said. "I’m excited to get to know the community. There seems to be so many activi-ties to do on the island and opportunities to become involved.”

Preserving Island Culture • Improving Island Life

Greg Ayers for County Councilwww.ayers2013.com

Paid for by Ayers for Council 2013

What people are saying about Greg“I know Greg has faced challenges in connecting homes to the ESWD sewer system and has, in my opinion, provided creative and fair solutions for homeowners. I feel that Greg has the qualifications, experience and personal drive nec-essary to address the problems and issues currently facing San Juan County. Therefore, I highly recommend that you

cast your vote for Greg Ayers for County Council.”—John MacLeod, Orcas Island

“I had the privilege of working with Greg Ayers on the Primary Healthcare infrastructure on Orcas Island. He is a creative problem solver who not only comes up with

solutions, but is there to implement them. I really enjoyed working with him.”

—Garth Eimers, Orcas Island

“I support Greg Ayers for the San Juan County Council. Greg’s the candidate who combines foresight with insight and ability. We’ll get the job done right with Greg Ayers on

the County Council.”—Leonard Wood, Orcas Island

“Greg is focused on realistic solutions, not “pie in the sky” ideas that are unlikely to yield revenues, let alone quality jobs. Greg has a pragmatic approach

to protecting our island environment. He recognizes the importance of education and sustainable programs

for environmental protection and enhancement, while maintaining our island culture and way

of life.”—Dave and Jane Cable, San Juan Island

“Greg Ayers can lead us beyond partisanship, and has the skills and heart to help us create a positive future together.

Please join me in voting for Greg Ayers.” —Daniela Mayer, Lopez Island

“I have worked with Greg for many years, at the Orcas Grange and building his home. He is one of the most intelligent people I know and a great problem solver. Most importantly, he is able to apply his knowledge and skills to guide others with diverse

opinions to find common ground, accomplishing a unified goal. Greg is deeply involved in the community. He believes that we must all work together as neighbors, building self-sustaining

lives while preserving our rural culture. Please join me in supporting Greg for County Council.”

–Doug Bechtel, Orcas Island

to a hospital which the ACLU claims restricts services based on religious doctrine.

The ACLU letter, although it did not threaten legal action, concluded: “In sum, government cannot subsidize health care facilities that deny reproductive health ser-vices to the community based on its reli-gious views.”

The hospital district’s response, signed by chairwoman Lenore Bayuk, insists that the subsidy agreement ensures “continued access to many healthcare services, includ-ing reproductive and end-of-life care.” The letter points out that the present servic-es at PIMC were previously provided at Inter-Island Medical Center and “have not changed.”

The response did not address the ACLU contention that the subsidy agreement per-mits PeaceHealth, the Catholic Church-connected parent organization of PIMC, to determine the scope of services at PIMC and to amend its “ethical policies” which might “further restrict access to health ser-vices based on religious doctrine.”

Monica Harrington, one of the orga-

nizers of the local Coalition for Health Care Transparency and Equity, which in September first raised questions about the subsidy agreement, said she would continue her efforts to assure that the full range of reproductive and end-of-life services are provided at Peace Island Medical Center “now and in the future.”

“I’ve recently heard that the proposed merger of PeaceHealth into the Catholic Health Initiatives group of medical centers is moving forward, and that concerns me because CHI adheres closely to the Catholic Bishops’ ethical and religious directives,” Harrington said before a meeting of her group on Saturday, Jan. 19.

After that meeting, Harrington circulated a letter from her group asking state Sen. Kevin Ranker (D-Orcas) to request a formal opinion by the state attorney general on the issues raised by the ACLU.

Attorney General Opinions are state-ments of the Attorney General’s official views on a legal question relating to a pub-lic officer’s duties. They may be requested by state legislators and other state officials about the legal effect of constitutional and statutory provisions on actions of govern-ment officials.

County Commission, and each member will be paid full-time salaries of about $75,000 per year.

O’Day’s famous melliflu-ent voice flowed, peppering the reporter with answers almost before the questions were finished: “The citizens didn’t understand the char-ter amendments when they voted on them and they still don’t. Has it occurred to anyone on Orcas and San Juan Island why Lopez Island voted ten-to-one in favor of charter revision?” Asked about Democratic Party endorsements of can-didates, O’Day said, “Non-partisan elections should be non-partisan. That should be respected by the parties. And I don’t think candidates should have to campaign throughout the entire county. If this was

such a good idea, why not let Californians vote for Washington’s Governor?”

Ironically, Gordy Petersen, who had been chairman of the Charter Revision Commission that designed the propositions denounced O’Day, just then walked around the corner across Spring Street. Happy that the election was occur-ring, Petersen’s concerns were substantive: the coun-ty’s “record” $5.8 million debt and the transition to the new charter.

Asked if he would rec-ommend a candidate, he unhesitatingly responded with Greg Ayers of Orcas and Jamie Stephens from Lopez.

“Ayers has the ability to understand and correct the problems, including the $5.8 million county debt prob-lem, and Jamie Stephens is best qualified to lead the transition to the new char-ter. From San Juan Island, I

like Jarman and Forlenza.”What about party

endorsements in non-parti-san election? “If a candidate asks for an endorsement and the party endorses, I see no problem.”

David McCauley, past chairman of the San Juan Island School Board, looked up warily from his com-puter screen at The Bean, but responded, “Sure. I’m paying attention to the elec-tions. I voted for the charter amendments because the county should have a full-time council, and six is too many even if some of the present council work at it full-time. There’s value in being able to vote for all council positions and have representation from all islands for all the county’s voters.”

Unwilling to name a favorite candidate “because I know most of the candi-dates personally,” McCauley said he has no opinion of partisan party endorse-ments. “But I pay attention to personal endorsements

The San Juan County Council will consider postponing until May 1 the date that the recently approved update of the critical areas ordinance would take effect.

The County Council agreed it would consider postponement of the CAO startup date as part of a Feb. 12 pub-lic hearing, beginning at 10:15 a.m., allowing for testimony by the public on the topic.

Approved by the council Dec. 3, the CAO updates, which apply to wet-lands, aquifer recharge areas, frequent-

ly flooded areas, fish and wildlife habi-tat and geologically hazardous areas, are slated to take effect March 1.

Postponing the effective date would not affect the time period for appeals to the Growth Management board, which is 60 days after the publication of the county legislation action.

A postponement would allow an additional two months for county staff to complete a series of work-shops for design professionals, plan-ning staff, real estate profession-als, and to develop materials and information to assist individuals in understanding revisions to the ordinance before they take effect, according to a press release by the county.

Councilwoman Patty Miller, Orcas East, said the delay would provide time to “ensure a solid implementation

of the new regulations.” The county Community

Development and Planning Department is sponsoring a pair of workshops for land-use design pro-fessionals, land-use planners and attorneys, and consultants who regu-larly deal with development permits and land-use codes. The first work-shop is Jan. 30, 8:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m., at the Mullis Street Fire Station, 1011 Mullis Street, in Friday Harbor. The second, on Orcas Island, is Feb. 6, 10:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m., at the Eastsound Fire Station, 45 Lavender Lane.

Registration is required for each workshop. To register, contact CDPD's Lynda Guernsey, (360) 370-7579, or [email protected], with name, phone number, email address, and the workshop you wish to attend.

and find them interesting, especially from people I respect,” he concluded.

Clark Gilbert also likes changes to the charter. Asked for recommenda-tions, Gilbert responded, “Bob Jarman is exception-ally good. I know him well. He has the ability to be bipartisan and work for the good of the whole county. Endorsements from parties are not a problem. People understand what endorse-ments mean and can make up their own minds from all the information they get.”

Local attorney Laura Tuttle at first demurred, but turned back in the middle of the street and, continu-ing across, said, “I’ve known Lisa Byers for a number of years and worked with her on housing issues. When there was a problem at a meeting, she dug into it and found a solution. She fos-ters an environment among people she works with of compromise and coopera-

tion, and I think she would be an outstanding council-woman.”

Five women were hav-ing coffee at Griffin Bay Bookstore, but only Stacey Germain and Ashley Strutz wanted to “go on the record.”

Germain said, “Why are we voting again? I thought the three that we elected last November would be the permanent council. But I’m definitely in favor of a three-person council, they’ll be able to get more done than six. I’m not telling you who I’ll vote for.”

Ashley Strutz picked up the thread.

“The six member coun-cil clearly wasn’t working. Partisan endorsements are not a problem. They can be helpful to help me make an educated decision about the candidates,” Strutz said.

Is one particular issue important to how you’ll vote? “Elections aren’t about a single issue. I want to investigate the candidates’ positions on a number of issues before I decide,” she said.

Vision, courage; Pratt for council

We are writing to endorse Lovel Pratt for county coun-cilwoman.

While we were serving on the Land Bank Commission (Nancy), and as mayor of Friday Harbor (David), we worked with Lovel to make the Brickworks project a reality. Together we drafted and re-drafted thoughts on the scope of the proj-ect and worked with county and town elected officials to obtain funding for the project.

We found Lovel’s par-ticipation in this effort to always be diligent, thought-ful and thorough. She was open to ideas and a team-player all the way.

Lovel expended a great deal of “political capital” on this project and while we were not successful in convincing county and town to financially endorse Brickworks, time has prov-en that the vision created has “legs” of its own.

Lovel understood and had the courage to fight for this vision of community, agriculture and economic development.

As residents of the town, we are pleased to have the opportunity to vote for Lovel Pratt.

Support for Ayers in District 2 race

I am writing to express support for Greg Ayers. My support is based on:

His creative and prag-

matic ideas for increasing the health of our economy. Please note, I’m not the only one who values his thoughts — he is a small business advisor for the Obama administration on the Presidential National Economic Council.

His integrity — he did not seek an endorsement from the Democratic (or any other) Party. He chose to honor the spirit of non-partisan elections, rather than the letter of the law.

His ability to problem solve and his care for the environment — when the septic systems of OPAL houses on Orcas threat-ened the groundwater, he met with the reluctant land trust group (headed by Lisa Byers) to listen to their con-cerns and to create a solu-tion to their pollution.

Ultimately, Greg Ayers found a way to reduce costs enough to enable them to hook on to the sewer dis-trict. His leadership helped resolved a known environ-mental problem on Orcas.

Greg Ayers can lead us beyond partisanship, and has the skills and heart to help us create a posi-tive future together. Please join me in voting for Greg Ayers.

Credit Foundation for assist of ‘Arts’

The San Juan County Arts Council would like to thank the San Juan Island Community Foundation for their support and assistance through the first official year (2012) of our existence.

From our very begin-nings in 2009, the SJICF has been there for us and instrumental in getting the

Arts Council up, running, and serving the county community both with it’s financial support, as well as its encouragement and assistance.

We could not have done it without you. We appre-ciate your concern for all the community’s needs and especially for your recog-nition that the arts, in a very fundamental way, help make a community healthy, strong and vibrant.

TeDDy DeaNeArts Council, past president

Forlenza does what he says

We have a unique new County Council member in Marc Forlenza. He doesn’t just talk about it, he does what he says. He performs.

An example is Marc’s performance over the past decade as an officer of the Friday Harbor Power Squadron, the local mem-ber squadron of the United States Power Squadrons.

He has served as com-mander, executive officer, administrative officer, and currently serves as educa-tion officer. Of special note has been his interest in Power Squadron support to our community.

Several years ago, Marc became aware that the coun-ty had terminated the dere-lict vessel removal program because of lack of funds. Marc said, “That’s not right, I’ll fix it”. And he did.

He brought the issue to the attention of the Power Squadron and urged that if they donated at least $1,000, then he would seek addi-tional funds from other local organizations to con-tribute to this most worth-while community need.

With $6,000 raised, he

encouraged Milene Henley (county auditor) and the county to match this in order to be eligible for state funding at 10 times the combined civic and county amount.

Have you noticed Friday Harbor recently? No more “Hong Kong Harbor”.

So far, over 60 vessels have been removed, dis-posed of, relocated to mari-nas, repaired, or registered instead of polluting our waterways and continuing to create navigation haz-ards. More are scheduled for removal.

Marc also initiated and has led the annual public flare-shoot activity over the past several years, which teaches boaters and others how to handle emergency flares and fire extinguishers.

Finally, Marc organized and has led the annual Power Squadron “boat float” for our Fourth of July parades to highlight the importance of boating safety and edu-cation. Marc is a natural

born leader. Let’s elect Marc Forlenza again to lead us for the next four years.

Capable, accessible; Jarman for council

I have known Lovel Pratt for 20 years, and Bob Jarman for more than 25. Based on my knowledge of and expe-rience with both these can-didates, I enthusiastically endorse Bob Jarman for county commissioner.

Bob has served the people of this county for nearly 40 years. As an employee and supervisor for Inter-Island Telephone company (back when it was a truly local company committed only to the needs and interests of islanders), the role in which I initially met him, he proved himself a highly

capable manager with a focus on solving problems and serving his clients.

He was accessible to any-one — you could walk into his office, grab him on the street, or call him up any time and get whatever your problem was solved. He thrived on meeting chal-lenges and getting things done.

As the county council transitions from a policy making body to a manage-ment body, we need com-missioners with the kind of real world management experience and knowledge of the county that Bob will bring.

As a businessman with an abiding love for these islands that have been his home for most of his adult life, he understands that the county must balance the need to create and maintain a strong economy with the need to protect this special place we all love.

Bob is not a politician, but is truly non-partisan.

He is not affiliated with or indebted to any special interest group. Rather, he can and, I know, will rep-resent all islanders fairly and honestly. The quality of our life in this county will depend on the quality and integrity of the people we elect to lead us. Bob Jarman is the kind of leader we need and deserve.

Creative remedies; Hughes for Dist. 2

I enthusiastically support Rick Hughes in the upcom-ing primary election. Rick has a deep understanding of our islands. His family has a long history here, which gives him a good sense of what has come before, how we got here, and why it mat-ters.

His experience run-ning a crucial business in Eastsound gives him a great feel for what it takes to make a living here, as well as daily contact with a broad spec-trum of the community.

As a former Fortune 100 executive, Rick has the experience and ability to think creatively about ways to improve our islands’ economy. I particularly liked Rick’s view of government, as he expressed it at the League of Women Voters on Orcas this week: simplicity, localization and communi-

cation: Simplify the laws and government processes so that they are easy to under-stand and serve the people of the county; planning and county services should be appropriate for our county as a whole, and localized for each island; the government should communicate what it is doing and how that will affect the citizens.

Rick is putting these con-cepts into practice during his tenure on the county council this winter. I urge you to give him the oppor-tunity to do so for the next four years.

A ‘big picture’ person; vote Pratt

I am writing to endorse the candidacy of Lovel Pratt for County Council. I have know Lovel for many years, including her time help-ing with the creation of the USDA mobile meat process-ing unit on Lopez, as execu-tive director of the San Juan Community Home Trust, as a planning commission-er, and finally as a council member.

What has impressed me about Lovel is her abil-ity to see the big picture. Although she was a coun-cil member from San Juan Island, we would often see her on Lopez for our signifi-cant events, including the GMO-Free Initiative, and her support for local control of our dump. She is one of two council members who

has made it a point to create a presence in Olympia for all of San Juan County.

As a former San Juan County commissioner, I have been aware that Lovel is a strong supporter of local agriculture. Lovel is humble and yet not afraid to dig into issues. I encourage you to vote for Lovel in the upcom-ing county-wide primary for District 1 council member.

Tooth Mobile returns, Jan. 25

The Tooth Mobile is com-ing. We’ll kick off 2013 with our 4th dental van visit to San Juan Island, Friday, Jan. 25 and Saturday, Jan. 26.

Fish For Teeth sponsors this local volunteer staffed clinic to provide urgent and preventative dental care to island residents who have no discretionary income, no dental insurance and no other financial means by which to pay for dental services.

Applications for treat-ment can be downloaded at fishforteeth.com, or picked up from and dropped off at the following agencies: • Health Department, 145 Rhone Street; • SJI Family Resource Center, Market Street; • The Mullis Center, 589 Nash Street.

Applications will be pro-cessed the week prior to the clinic by a volunteer den-tist whose staff will call the applicants to make appoint-ments. Please note that the folks at the above intake centers do none of the pri-oritizing or scheduling.

And don’t forget, aside from direct donations, our only fundraiser is our Fish Taco Sale. Plan your lunch around us on Friday, the 25th, in front of Market Place. Our volunteers will be ready to serve you from 11 a.m to 2 p.m.

Food Bank works with your support

Your community food bank is making it through yet another winter of a diffi-cult economy thanks to the generosity of all of you.

There are fewer jobs and rising food prices; our food bank is serving almost dou-ble last year’s numbers and we are seeing many more working families who just can’t make ends meet with-out a little help from the food bank.

Thank you to the busi-ness and farming communi-ties, the fraternal and social organizations, the schools (both public and private), the churches, and to all the individuals in the com-munity who have donated money and food, partici-pated in food drives, and volunteered.

We would also like to recognize the generosity of King’s Market for their con-tinuing support with their donation of the turkeys for Thanksgiving and the hams for Christmas, they have donated these special items for years and we and our patrons are truly grateful.

The generosity of all of you in this community is amazing. Without your help we could not continue to operate. We are so grateful to everyone in this commu-nity who has offered a help-ing hand to their neighbors in need. All of your help is thankfully received.

Erika Lynn Sundstrom: 1977 — 2013

Erika passed away at home on Jan. 17 and we believe she is now in a peaceful place.

She was born March 18, 1977 in Mount Vernon to Debbie Lawson Browne and Dan Sundstrom, and comes from a long line of island pioneer families. She attended school in Friday Harbor from kin-dergarten to her graduation in 1995. She was an artist and writer, although she found her true professional calling in caring for the elderly.

She is survived by her daughter, Danielle Elizabeth Crossen; parents Debbie Lawson Browne and Dan (Mary) Sundstrom; brother Shaun Armstrong; aunts Sondra deBeauclair, Linda Sundstrom, Arlene Rhine, Patsy (Jim) Scribner, Kathie (Stan) Reitan, and Darby Lawson; Josh Crossen, father of Danielle; and numerous cousins. She will be greatly missed by her family and many loving friends.

In lieu of flowers, remembrances can be sent to the Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor. A private family service is planned.

Obituary

Erika Lynn Sundstrom

See LETTERS, Page 8

By Scott RasmussenJournal editor

Friday Harbor knew full well going into the contest that the Lyncs 6-foot 8-inch senior center was a threat to score from the outside.

But they didn’t imagine it would go quite like this. In one of the more jaw-dropping shooting performances

in recent memory, Lynden Christian Issac Reimer’s knocked down five shots from beyond the 3-point line, including four in the second period, and dropped 33 points on the Wolverines to lead Lynden Christian to a 78-58 victory, Saturday, in Turnbull Gym. His NBA-range 3-pointer from the top of the key in the second half even drew a round of “oohs and aahs” from the Friday Harbor faithful.

“We definitely knew he could shoot the three,” said Friday Harbor point-guard C.J. Woods, who scored 15 points after the break to tally a team-high 17. “But we didn’t know that he’d hit ‘em like he did today. He’s an amazing player.”

A flurry of 3-point baskets by Reimer came as little sur-prise to Lyncs Head Coach Roger De Boer.

“He gets into those kind of streaks and we just try to ride him and have fun,” said De Boer, whose Lyncs remain undefeated against Division 1A competition and improved to 11-4 overall.

Friday Harbor scored the first two points of the 1A regional match up, but that’s as close to the Lyncs as the Wolverines would get. Lynden Christian scored the next nine points, led 14-4 at the end of the opening period and 43-22 at the break. Reimer (quar-

terback of the Lyncs football team) had 23 of his game-high 33 points in the first half.

The Wolverines outscored Lynden Christian 36-35 after the break, but the damage had already been done. Senior

Donald Galt scored 16 points and Otis Cooper-West had 15 for the Wolverines, who, along with a 60-46 start-to-finish win Jan. 17 at Concrete (Dylan Demaris scored a season-high 16 points in the win), fell to 9-7 on the season. Next:The race for the Northwest 1A/2B will be up for grabs,

Friday, as the Wolverines, 4-0 in league play, host defend-ing league champ La Conner, who, at 15-0 overall, remains undefeated both in league play, at 6-0, and on the season as well; tip off is 5:30 p.m. in Turnbull Gym. Friday Harbor travels Saturday, to face Blaine (3-12), a regional 1A rival.

What’s Happening!

See CALeNDAr, Page 12

By Scott rasmussenJournal editor

One would normally have to travel more than 4,000 miles to bridge the distance that separates Friday Harbor from the island of Japan.

Beginning this Friday, however, normal will become next to nothing, distance-wise, that is, as San Juan Islands Museum of Art kicks off a two-month long celebration of Japanese-inspired art and culture, as well as an appreciation for one tremendously tragic current event. More on that in a moment.

Entitled “Kakehashi: a Bridge to Japan”, the celebration gets underway, Friday, with a presentation by Japanese-American fiber artist Seiko Atsuta Purdue, who’s work will be featured at the IMA gallery, 232 A Street, in Friday Harbor. The evening begins with an opening reception, at 5 p.m., followed by a talk by Purdue about the works on display as part of her exhibit, entitled “Warp and Weft: the Northwest and Japan”, at 6:30 p.m. Acclaimed Orcas Island singer Susan Osborn, who has performed in Japan on various occasions, will also give a musical performance at the end of the evening.

A member of the faculty at Western Washington University, Purdue landed on the shores of the U.S. some 20 years ago, first living in New Jersey, then in Chicago, and

then relocating to Bellingham in 2001. She spent the past two decades exploring connections between U.S. culture and those of her Japanese heritage. She earned accolades for her “Wish Tying” project, launched during her Chicago stay, wherein she collected the thoughts of numerous “wishes” left in temples and shrines (called “omikuji”, the wishes are actually paper fortunes that visitors purchase and then tie to a tree) as a way to link her background and culture to that of the Western World.

Since arriving in Bellingham, Purdue has immersed herself in the history and culture of the Pacific Northwest, and has discovered a close kinship with the region.

“I feel a much closer connection environmentally

and geologically between here and Japan,” she says.

Purdue recently participated in an artists’ exhibition on Bainbridge Island, where she met many Japanese-Americans and devel-oped an even greater appreciation for the journey of Japanese in the Northwest, includ-ing the internment camps of WW II. A more recent influence upon her artwork has been the devastation caused by the earthquake and tsunami of March 2011.

“I made three works based on the Great East Japan Earthquake: power of water, instant loss, aftershocks, physical and emotional cracks, radiation, and more were explored through Paper making, Screen Printing and Mixed Media,” Purdue says. “I am showing one of these pieces, ‘After the Flood’ in this exhibition (at IMA).”

Along with hosting the Purdue exhibit, IMA is sponsoring and helping to coordinate various other events as part of its “Kakeashi” presentation. San Juan Island’s own Don Jarrell, a nuclear physicist, will give a talk entitled “Nuclear Truths: the Northwest and

Japan” (date, time and location have yet to be determined), local culinary wizard Cynthia Burke will host two sushi-making seminars, Feb. 13 and March 26; IMA’s Kristy Schmidt will lead an origami-making class for chil-dren, Feb. 16 and March 16; a Japanese film will be shown (title and date in the works); and Osborn will be in concert, March 1, at Friday Harbor Presbyterian Church.

Study of acidic oceans in focus at Whitely lecture

The 2013 Arthur Whitely Lecture Series kicks off Thursday, Jan. 31, featuring a presenta-tion about ocean acidi-fication by University of Washington o c e a n o g -rapher Jan Newton.

Principal oceanographer with UW’s Applied Physics Lab, Newton’s latest topic of research is assessing the status of ocean acidifica-tion in local marine waters. Together with UW’s Terrie Klinger, she helped to ini-tiate a seawater sampling program in the San Juans, based at the FH Labs, with a goal of training students in the study of ocean acidi-fication.

Newton is also affili-ated with the School of Oceanography and School of Marine and Environmental Affairs, and executive director of the Northwest

Association of Networked Regional Ocean Observing Systems.

Sponsored by San Juan Nature Institute, the Whiteley Lecture Series is a showcase for various areas of research conducted at Friday Harbor Labs, and presentations are offered free to the public. For more info, visit the SJ Nature Institute website, www.sjna-ture.org.

Playwrights Showcase opens Thursday

Journal photo / Scott RasmussenAn unheard whisper, portrayed above by actress Elsa Dora Hull Arendt and actor Jack Gibson, leads to a cascade of tension-filled moments in playwright Greg Sutherland’s ‘Whispers and Echoes’.

From a family road trip to a reincarnated piano bench, from a night on the town and a tattoo to a wager between two women with an eye on romance, the 2013 Islands Playwrights Showcase is a tour de force of wit and wisdom from the islands’ own.

The Showcase, formerly titled the Islands Playwrights Festival, opens Thursday, Jan. 24, for a two-week run at San Juan Community Theatre’s Gubelman Theatre, Thursdays through Sundays, Jan. 24-27, and Jan. 31 to Feb. 3.

The seven plays and monologues in the Showcase were chosen last year by three off-island judges and then further developed in a series of workshops held by the Northwest Playwrights Alliance. Each features both directors and actors from the islands.

The lineup: Whispers and Echoes, by Greg Sutherland; The Haro Hills Homeowner’s Association, by Kevin Hillstrom; The Love Tattoo, by Clark Gilbert; The Wager, by Jim McCormick; Are We There Yet?, by Jim and Jan Zurcher. Monologues are: Know Thine Enemy, by Chris DeStaffany, and Born Again, by Ernest Pugh.
