Funds for ferry projectsBy Steve WehrlyJournal reporter

It’s a good day when somebody else wants to pay for just one project in San Juan County. So it’s “double your plea-sure” day for San Juan and Lopez Islands when state and federal officials announced they’ll pay for projects in each location.

On San Juan, Washington State Ferry staff noticed the crowds at Front and East Streets. Ferry “walk-offs” spill into the street and crowd the sidewalks, lurching in front of cars and holding up traffic as they head in all directions.

Friday Harbor Administrator Duncan Wilson said the corner of Front and East Streets “is the only place in town where people and cars need another few degrees of separation so somebody doesn't get hurt.”

The state Department of Transportation has filed paperwork for a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit to recon-struct the sidewalks and replace the signage at the corner of East and Front Streets.

On Lopez, the pavement on the terminal trestle is wearing out. The U.S. Department of Transportation recently announced a $600,000 grant to rebuild and repave the trestle between the island and the ferry loading ramp.

In Friday Harbor, the ferry system has decided to combine about $241,000 of federal money and nearly $63,000 of state money to rebuild the whole street corner across Front Street from Cannery Landing. New stairs, ramps, and pedes-trian walkways – and lots of new signs – will be constructed in front of the historic house referred to by locals as the “Doctor's

Office.”Town council approval

of the permit is expected on Aug. 14. Construction is set for the spring of 2013.

A Lopez Island man was ordered to serve 30 days in jail for walking away from the scene of high-speed crash and leaving behind a friend whose injuries proved too severe for him to leave the scene.

On Aug. 3, Jon Eric Ogston, 50, pleaded guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of felony hit-and-run, a Class C felony offense, and to reckless driv-ing, a gross misdemeanor. As a first-time felony offender, Ogston qualified for sentenc-ing below the standard range of sentencing set by the state,

three to nine months in jail, and was ordered to serve 30 days in jail and to pay $1,200 in fines and fees.

Under the sentence handed down by Judge Don Eaton, Ogston will be allowed to serve 30 days on the Sheriff’s Department work crew, in lieu of jail.

The court received about 20 letters from family, friends and business associ-ates of Ogsten, vouching for his character and asking for leniency in sentencing.

According to court docu-ments, Ogston left his home and drove to Hummel Lake in the early evening of a mid-October day to pick up a friend who had been at the lake, along with his dog, relaxing and drinking, and wanted to get a ride back to his home.

Ogston had also been drinking prior to getting into his car and leaving for the lake, according to court

records. The two men were south-

bound on Lopez Sound Road at about 7 p.m. when Ogston reportedly swerved to avoid a deer, lost control of his Honda Civic along a bend in the road, shot across the roadway and then slammed head-on into a tree.

The two men were travel-ing at about 60 mph when Ogston lost control of the vehicle, according to court documents.

The force of the impact thundered through the floorboard below the front passenger seat, shattering the heel bone of Ogsten’s friend and causing a shard of broken bone to puncture an artery, which in turn bled to a life-threatening degree in the hour or so that fol-lowed. Ogsten left the scene of the crash and walked to

Overreaching CAO buffer restrictionsDid you know that CAO provisions on Fish and Wildlife

Habitat Conservation Areas and Wetlands pending before the county council would declare our entire shoreline to be a “critical” area, and turn shoreline setbacks into “buffers?” Setbacks and buffers are NOT the same. Setbacks govern where structures can be placed, but buffers govern what you are allowed to do on your land. The new restrictions are not limited to shorelines, but also extend buffers around “streams” and wetlands, and will enable the county to regu-late almost everything we do in areas of our land declared to be “buffers.”

Why should you need county permission to use your property to: Walk your dog or ride your horse? Picnic near the shore or by a stream? Play softball or Frisbee during a family gathering? (“Hiking” and “birdwatching” are okay.) Fly a kite or radio controlled airplane?

Rather than prohibiting only specific activities that are proven harmful to habitat, the proposed CAO allows struc-tures, uses and activities in buffers only if they are specifi-cally listed and approved. Any activity that is not listed and approved in the regulations is prohibited, unless the owner secures a provisional/conditional use permit or variance, subject to additional requirements imposed by the County. (See Table 3.10 in the FWHCA Section and Table 3.8 of the Wetland Section (current draft at http://bit.ly/OUNN6C). It may be true that you will be allowed to “keep doing what you’re already doing,” if you can prove, to the satisfaction of the planning department, that you have used the area for the specific activity prior to the CAO, that you haven’t abandoned the activity, and the “degree of nonconformity is not increased.”

It is not too late to stop this unwarranted overreaching in the guise of environmental protection. If you value the use of your land and the rural character of our community, call your county council representatives and attend the hearing on Aug. 21.

Letters to the EditorLopez Street Dance

The traditional Lopez Island end-of-summer cele-bration and street dance will be on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 3, in the parking lot of the former Lopez Village Market from 5:30-8:30 p.m.

The nine-member Tiempo de Lopez band, headed by Jaime Cordova, will provide

their popular “hot Caribbean” dance tunes. New to the cel-ebration this year, Taste of Persia and Ye Scurvy Dogs street stalls will be set up to offer dinner fare, and sodas will be available for purchase as well. The Love Dog Café and Bucky’s restaurants will be open as usual, offering other dining options.

The 2012 celebration will

be hosted by SWAP, the nonprofit supporting the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District.

Everyone on Lopez is invited to come down to the Village to enjoy the free cel-ebration and dance.

SJC Arts Council needs board members

The San Juan County Arts Council is seeking four to five new members for the board of directors to be elect-ed at the annual member-ship meeting in November. There are openings for board members from Orcas

and Lopez and possibly San Juan as the board attempts to fill upcoming vacancies and balance membership among the islands.

The San Juan County Arts Council evolved in 2009 as a result of discussions to address the arts and further the potential of the artists in the county. Their mission is to promote and integrate the artistic resources of the county for the creative eco-nomic development, educa-tion and overall well-being of the county communities. SJCAC has the potential to offer exciting and innova-tive benefits to all the cre-ative arts and artists in the islands.

It is a nonprofit, which reflects all creative endeav-ors and it is expected that board members will enjoy helping to create and admin-ister artistic projects, and/or have experience with gener-al administration, art patron-age, or nonprofit fund raising challenges.

Meetings are monthly and this year the board met on 1st Thursdays. Since this is a county-wide council, the meetings have rotated among the islands with the times varying depending on ferry schedules. Regular attendance at board meet-ings is essential for the council to work effectively. The term of office is usually three years and previous board experience is a plus.

Around Town

“I hate to sound cliched,” says Bill Kintzley¸ “but the more you give, the more you get.”

He is talking about his involvement in Lopez’s Hospice and Home Support program, but he might as well be describing his life.

After 30 years of teaching American adolescents, then two more with mixed-age classes in Africa, Bill does not see why retirement should force him to quit working to help people.

Bill’s understated speak-ing style makes a teacher’s challenging life seem no big deal. He never dreamed of being a teacher – his father’s career – but after graduating from University of Washington, the prospect seemed more inviting.

He sums up three decades of teaching middle school science in Olympia this way: “Some days were really neat; some days you thought, ‘What am I doing here?’”

With equal casualness, Bill describes meeting his wife Sue on a blind date set up by a former girlfriend, who “said no, she didn’t want to get together that evening, but [she knew] someone who would … and that’s how that went.”

Bill and Sue have been married for 48 years, producing a vibrant fam-ily of four daughters and 10 grandchildren.

Hearing of the Kintzleys’ first move upon retirement produces a kind of aural double-take: wait, you did what? The Peace Corps?

Two weeks after retiring from your jobs as teacher

and nurse you went to…Ghana? For two years?

They did indeed. Bill explains that he got

the idea from his own par-ents’ Peace Corps involve-ment back in 1970. After investigating the prospect, Bill and Sue expressed a preference for some Pacific Rim country. Maybe one of the islands, Southeast Asia…? So Ghana was a sur-prise.

“Well sure, we’d like to go to Ghana … where’s Ghana?”

Upon receiving this assignment, Bill says, “I went down to the library and looked at the atlas” to find out exactly where they would be spending the next two years.

The contrast between teaching Ghanaians and Americans was night and day.

“They are so appreciative of any opportunity … very few discipline problems. It really takes the wind out of your sails if you do have to scold a student … they’ll just stand there and nod their head … and when you’re done … they say, ‘Thank you, Mr. Kintzley.’”

With admiration, he notes how his Ghanaian students would struggle to pay their

school fees, dropping out as necessary to work, then returning, even into their mid-twenties.

“It takes some getting used to that mindset …They’re all business.”

After leaving the Peace Corps in 1996, Bill and Sue were ready to try living full-time on Lopez, where they had bought property in 1990.

They gave themselves a year “to see if we like liv-ing on an island before we burn any bridges. We’re still here,” he adds with a smile.

The Kintzleys dived right into their new community. With her nursing back-ground, Sue got involved in Hospice and Home Support first, and Bill joined her a couple of years later. Home Support’s purpose is to

allow people limited by age or illness to stay as long as possible in their own homes. Volunteers do everything from driving folks to appoint-ments, preparing meals, or helping with home maintenance, but Bill notes that a major part of the job is simply “visit-ing.” He and other vol-unteers spend up to two hours a week, although the time varies with the need. Relationships develop along the way; the person he sees now, Bill has been helping for seven years. In addition, Bill serves as driver on call for the Senior Center, transporting people and delivering lunches.

After so many years of working with adoles-

cents, Bill enjoys the con-trast of working with elderly folks.

“There’s a learning pro-cess, but I’m kind of the learner, because I enjoy hearing people’s stories,” he says.

Mary O’Bryant, Manager of Client Services for Hospice and Home Support,

puts it differently: “Bill is one of my saints,” she says. “I could call and say I’ve got a person who needs help this afternoon at 2, and he would be there … He’s very present for others.”

Bill and Sue both note that the ranks of volunteers have thinned in recent years, and Sue adds a little recruitment pitch: “It’s a neat way to give back to this community, and it’s such a Lopezy thing.”

Both agree their work contains an aspect of “pay-ing it forward,” as well as

providing a sense of secu-rity that, down the road, someone might do the same for them.

Bill’s retired life is hard-ly retiring; his activities include church, gardening, crabbing, and hunting with his sons-in-law. But Home Support is the real center-piece for him and Sue, and, far from expecting praise for all their hard work, Bill drops another line too heart-felt to be a cliche: “No mat-ter what you do, you always go away feeling good.”

Bill Kintzley, then and now.

By Aimee NassoiySpecial to the Islands’ Weekly

The very first time I heard Zimbabwean music being played on marimbas was at an early 1980’s Northwest Folklife Festival.

I remember watching Lora Chiora, a Shona woman of short stature, playing the big bass instrument with mallets like small sledge hammers. She played with such passion, and the dance music was so compelling, I declared right on the spot that someday I would play this music.

In 1985 there was a com-munity effort on Lopez to build a family of wooden keyed percussion instru-ments, called marim-bas, based on the instru-ments used by the late Dr. Dumisani Maraire, bet-ter known as Dumi from Zimbabwe. The marimbas built by the Lopez commu-nity are presently used at

Lopez School.In 1991, Michael Bradley,

aka Michael Breez, moved to Lopez Island. Michael had performed with Dumi, in one of the first Seattle marimba bands playing Zimbawean music. On Lopez, Michael founded Matendo marimba ensemble, which included myself and other musicians.

Matendo toured and per-formed for a couple of years.Then Michael and his wife moved to San Juan Island.

Of all types of music I have been involved in, playing marimba is a high energy blend of music and dance. I wanted to keep playing marimbas on Lopez, and formed the Mamatamba

ensemble. Mamatamba, in the Shona

language of Zimbabwe, means Mother sing, play and dance. The band has played on Lopez, other islands in the San Juans, Canada, and at Zimbabwean Music Festivals. Mamatamba had so many strong singers in the group that we also start-

ed singing a cappella style, featuring the rich harmo-nies of the Ndeble or kwa-Zulu people, like Ladysmith Black Mambazo; and the rhythmically complex, call and response Shona singing style.

Vocal acuity is honed with experience and prac-tice. Vocal blend has a cer-tain amount of chemistry and magic. Mamatamba is blessed both with acuity and magic. Over years the band turned away from playing marimbas, focusing instead on our singing.

Mamatamba has been asked to sing at weddings, funerals, graduations, birth-day celebrations, as well as benefit performances. One memorable time was sing-ing for Margaret Devoe’s memorial celebration.We were told we would sing before her children spoke, but this was not how the ceremony progressed. Margaret’s grown children

spoke with passion about their mother, and there were not many dry eyes in the crowd. As Mamatamba filed up to sing, I muttered “now we’ll find out how well we can sing while we are weeping.” As we began to sing, the power of song came forward and carried the group past our own emotions. Mamatamba has also performed together for a long enough time to sing for graduations of grown children who listened to our rehearsals from the womb.

Mamatamba will sing with Zimbabwean mbira mas-ter Musekiwa Chingodza, at the Lopez Center for Community and the Arts, Saturday, Aug. 18, 7:30 p.m. Tickets in advance are $12 from LCCA office and www.lopezcenter.org, Paper Scissors on the Rock, Blossoms Organic Grocery, and the Lopez Book Shop. Tickets at the door will be $15, or $25 family price.

Northwest Puppet Center’s Lopez Puppet Season continues with Cinderella by Carter Family Marionettes on Sunday, Sept. 2 at 2 p.m. at the Lopez Center for

Community and the Arts. Here’s the story:Poor Cinderella is left at home

while her stepmother and sisters go to the prince’s ball. With the help

of a magic dove, her friend mouse and a zucchini she learns that noth-ing is impossible. Pulcinella, the favorite clown of the Carter Family and Lopez kids, plays a surprising

role in the puppet play with his hijinks. The Itallian Cinderella also includes the excitement of pirates and palace intrigue.

This show is fun for all ages. Performance outdoors, weather permitting. Tickets available at the door.

By Scott RasmussenJournal editor

San Juan County voters last week handed their local government a lifeline of new revenue in the form of a three-tenths of 1 percent increase in the local sales tax.

If you’re doing the math, that’s .003, or 30 cents on a $100 purchase, with most groceries, professional ser-vices -- like doctors and lawyers -- and prescription medication excluded.

The sales-tax measure, Proposition 1 on the ballot, slipped under the primary-election wire with a victory in one of the lightest elec-tions in recent memory. With 600 ballots or so left to count, the measure drew 53 percent of 5,884 ballots tallied as of Aug. 9, or 2,788 votes, with voter-turnout hovering just a notch above 47 percent.

Only 312 votes separated failure from success, but after two tallies, with 4,258 ballots counted on election night and another 1,226 the next, the margin was large enough and voting-trend consistent enough for Auditor Milene Henley, manager of the County Elections Office, to declare

Prop. 1 a winner. Sheriff Rob Nou was elat-

ed, if not surprised, by the result.

“Surprised? I don’t know that I’d say that,” Nou said. “I think it’s more like relieved, and very grateful.”

In recent weeks, the Sheriff’s Department has been one of several agen-cies firmly planted in the crosshairs of the county budget team, tasked with having to balance a 2013 budget with a projected shortfall of $800,000, pos-sibly more, on the revenue side of the county’s primary funding mechanism, its gen-eral fund.

Totaling $16.8 million in 2013, tentatively, the gen-eral fund pays the bulk of most county day-to-day

expenses, but with roughly half that total restricted and earmarked solely for specif-ic programs or personnel.

Of the half considered “discretionary,” County Administrator Bob Jean notes that about 50 percent of that amount, nearly $4 million, would flow into the sheriff’s budget if funding levels were to remain at sta-tus quo.

In addition to paying officer salaries, the sher-iff’s budget also covers the cost of dispatch, 911, jail expenses, corrections and the emergency manage-ment department.

Cuts in the sheriff’s bud-get would be difficult to avoid, Jean said, without an influx of new and unrestrict-ed revenue, which Prop. 1

will provide. “What makes it harder

now is that the county has been cutting positions for three years,” he said. “The cuts left now are very dif-ficult ones.”

The three-tenths of 1 percent increase will nudge up the local sales-tax mark from 7.8 percent, among the lowest in the state, to 8.1 percent. Once it goes into

effect, beginning Jan. 1, of next year, it is expected to generate roughly $1 million a year, 40 percent of which will, by state law, go direct-ly to the Town of Friday Harbor.

While proceeds from Prop.1 are expected to help soften the county’s budget-ary woes by generating $600,000 of new revenue each year, that new cache

of cash must be used, in accordance with state law, exclusively on government services that fall into the category of public safety, such as law enforcement or criminal justice services, public health or road safety projects. It would, however, free up an equal amount of revenue in the general fund that has historically covered such expenses.

Election results: Proposition 1 squeaks by

San Juan County Sheriff ’s Depar tment repor ted responding to these calls:

July 20: Falling debris from an unsecured load prompted the arrest of a San Juan Island man for a series of driving offenses. The 29-year-old, pulled over on Boyce Road at about 9 a.m., was taken into custody for driving without a license and identification, and with-out a court-ordered inter-lock device. He was pulled over for allowing large chunks of roofing material to spill onto the roadway from the trailer that he was pulling at the time.

July 25: A San Juan Island man claims someone removed two oil filters off a heavy piece of construction machinery, which caused its engine to seize up, in an apparent act of vandalism. The engine is expected to cost $9,000 to repair.

July 29: A San Juan Island man claims someone broke into his cabin and made off with 24 bottles of booze and a couple bottles of red wine. The value of the missing stockpile of liquor, stored in the 59-year-old’s Wai Mala Lane cabin, is val-ued at nearly $900.

– A San Juan Island woman was arrested for driving with a suspended license after being pulled over near the intersection of Spring and West Streets -- in error -- for driving without a seatbelt. The 54-year-old reportedly failed to pay a $12 ticket and was unaware that her license had been suspended.

July 31: A high-speed collision on Bailer Hill Road prompted the arrest of a San Juan Island man for DUI in mid-afternoon. The 53-year-old reportedly didn’t see and failed to stop for another driver traveling

through the intersection at False Bay Road, and clipped the backside of that car at a high-rate of speed. Both drivers escaped the crash without serious injury.

-- A familiar face and a pair of warrants prompted the arrest of an Orcas Island man who spent the last year with a relative in California. The 24-year-old, arrested twice in 2011 for DUI and a no-show in court on either charge a year ago, was taken into custody one week after his island return.

Aug. 1: A 16-year-old San Juan Island boy was ticketed for driving too fast for condi-tions after driving head-on into a tree near the inter-section of Cessna Avenue and Tarted Road. The boy claims that he lost control of his pickup while swerving to avoid a deer.

-- A car stereo, a flashlight, hand tools and a couple of Rice Crispy Treats are among the missing items from a San Juan Island woman’s car following an apparent late-night break-in on Warbass Way. Someone reportedly ransacked the sedan’s inte-rior and carried off $1,800 of equipment, tools and per-sonal belongings.

-- A call from a San Juan Island homeowner about suspicious behavior of two men and a woman, all in their mid-20s, led to the arrest of a 24-year-old Friday Harbor man for DUI. Tracked down by the license number of his pickup, the man was taken into custody in the parking area of Jackson’s Beach at about 6 p.m. He also faces burglary charges involving an earlier break-in and theft at a Bailer Hill Road home.

Aug. 4: A yard tractor vanished from an Orcas Island barn in an apparent case of theft. The 42-inch tractor, valued at $900, was one of two tractors stored in the barn, which reportedly was unlocked at the time the tractor theft, in the 100 block of Sea Acres Road.

Aug. 5: A late-night traf-fic stop prompted the arrest of a San Juan Island for DUI. The 44-year-old, who was pulled over near the inter-section of Roche Harbor Road and Three Meadows Lane for a traffic violation -- unidentified in the incident report, was taken into cus-tody shortly before 1 a.m.

-- Two San Juan Island men had their three water blasters confiscated after

using one to douse a man strolling along the end of his Pear Point Road drive-way unsuspectingly. Caught by surprise, the man, recu-perating from a recent knee surgery, reportedly aggra-vated the wounded knee when he was struck by a blast of water and, rath-er than pressing charges, thought a lecture was in order. The two men, tar-geting unwary strangers as they drove around in a pickup in mid-afternoon, reportedly believed that the man appeared in need of being cooled down and questioned whether spray-ing someone with water was a punishable activity.

-- Allegations of assault led to the arrest of a San Juan Island man who reportedly set fire to a household item on the porch at his Tucker Avenue when an officer arrived to question him about an earlier altercation at the home. The 25-year-old, accused of attacking his mother, reportedly lunged at the officer as he attempt-ed to put out the fire. He faces charges of assault, reckless burning, resist-ing arrest, vandalism and interfering with a report of

domestic violence. -- Use of a cellphone while

driving prompted the arrest of a man from Kent follow-ing an early evening traffic stop in Friday Harbor. The 25-year-old, who was pulled over near the intersection of Guard Street and Tucker Avenue at about 7:30 p.m., was issued a criminal cita-tion for driving with a sus-pended license.

Aug. 6: Two men caught rummaging through the inventory of a San Juan Island commercial recy-cling center in the predawn hours face charges of theft and criminal trespass. The men, a Bellingham 37-year-old and a Friday Harbor 30-year-old, were taken into custody at the center in the 6000 block of Roche Harbor Road shortly before 3 a.m.

Aug. 7: An early morn-ing snooze along the side of the road prompted the arrest of an Orcas Island man for DUI. The 46-year-old, who was taken into custody in the 400 block of Mount Constitution Road at about 8 a.m., was reportedly asleep behind the wheel of his Buick Regal, with the engine running, when a park ranger happened by.

The Hillside Supper Club’s menu says “comfort-able food, no pressure,” and features delights like smoked broccoli, grass-fed steak, hand-made fettuccine and duck liver mousse with rhubarb gelee.

The owners, Lopez native Jonathan Sutton, shown right, and his long-time friend Tony Ferrari started running the club as a “pop up” in San Francisco, mean-ing they rented a restaurant on its off days.

“It’s a great way to get started without all the over-head of owning a restau-

rant,” said Sutton. “It was going well and we had good feedback.”

Now the two young men are working on owning their first restaurant.

Sutton, 25, said the Hillside Supper Club will be inspired by his time grow-ing up on Lopez. His mother Carmen Cicotti still lives on Lopez and Sutton tries to visit at least once a year. While in college, Sutton would return to the island and cook private dinners for several families using ingre-

dients from the local farms including Horse Drawn Farms, Sweet Grass Beef and Jones Family Farm.

“The island is very com-munity driven and supports local businesses and local farmers,” he said. “At the restaurant we are trying to spread community val-ues from the islands to San Francisco. We’re going to small farmers, seeing the hard work they are doing.”

Sutton said the slow food movement, the antithesis to fast food, is gaining momen-tum in San Francisco and across the country, drawing interest from college stu-dents to posh diners looking for the newest trends in the restaurant business.

For Sutton, having a res-taurant also allows him to do what he loves – work-ing hands on with beauti-ful ingredients and seeing

people enjoy the result.“I love how food brings

everyone together,” he said. “I love going out and talking with people and see-ing their smiles, it’s instant satisfaction.”

his home seven miles away after trying without success for about 20 minutes to flag down a passing motorist.

According to court docu-

ments, a driver stopped at the scene shortly after Ogsten had left and called 911. His friend was flown to a Bellingham hospital where his injuries were treated, and where an emergency room doctor told authorities that the man would likely have died from loss of blood with-out timely treatment of his wound.

In late November, Ogsten was charged with reckless driving and felony hit-and-run, which carries maxi-mum penalties of five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both. Prosecutors later upped the felony hit-and-run charge to vehicular assault, a Class B felony, and then agreed to reduce the charge back down to the lesser felony with expectation of a guilty plea to that offense.
