Islands' Weekly, July 07, 2015

By Anna V. SmithJournal reporter

The Rev. Edward Douglas Leche III has always had a roaming spirit. It’s what led him to explore the Seattle neighborhoods of his boy-hood, what enticed him to sign up for World War II aboard the U.S.S. Saratoga at age 17, and ultimately what led him around the state of Washington to eight different parishes before fulfilling a mission to the San Juan Islands, where he finally settled to stay.

June 29 marked Leche’s 60th anniversary of his ordination as an Episcopal priest, originally ordained June 29, 1955. Family mem-bers, churchgoers, amateur radio operators and friends gathered Sunday, June 28, to reminisce with Leche, now 89.

Father Ted, as most know him, came to the San Juan Islands in 1967 by mis-sion to the three Episcopal churches on San Juan, Orcas and Lopez Islands. The church issued him a

boat named the Archangel so that he could minis-ter to the islands without ferry service or established churches: Stuart, Waldron and Shaw.

“I liked anything that didn’t tie me down,” Father Ted said about his mis-sion service in the San Juans. “Parish work never appealed to me; you got set down in one place and you didn’t get to go anywhere.”

The people on the islands also appealed to him; there seemed to be someone from every walk of life here.

“He really did minister to a wide range of people,” said his son, Edward Leche IV. “Industrialists, produc-ers, environmentalists, the wealthy and those who were searching for themselves — such an eclectic web of people all here for different reasons.”

He was paid in chicken eggs in Darrington, held communion on a lake in a boat at Camp Huston and mediated local spats around the islands.

His family often accompa-nied him on the Archangel. Edward and daughter Mary DeLong remember going with him to services, taking friends with them and meet-ing all of the intriguing char-acters that he met through his ministry. His wife, Mary Jane Leche, was a fixture in the community as well and helped him throughout the years.

“Mom never did know who was coming home for dinner,” she said.

Father Ted has also seen the changes in the San Juan Islands over time. One by one the churches dropped off his mission as their populations increased, and they became self-support-ing churches with their own pastors. Orcas was the first location to become their own parish, then Lopez, then he focused on St. David’s until retiring in 1988.

“The goal of a mission is for it to become self-suffi-cient and to become an inde-pendent congregation,” said the Rev. Doug Simonsen, Rector at St. David’s. “He succeeded in that, so the need of a San Juan Island

mission evaporated. That’s his legacy here.”

Another change to the islands came by way of fish-ing. As the means of the business changed, there were fewer fishermen in the harbor. As visitors grew, there were more yachts and pleasure boats.

“The islands developed, and it was a big change when it became a tourist attraction,” Father Ted said. “It was a lot more fun when it was the other way.”

Radio was a prevalent influence in Father Ted’s life, reaching back as far as his Navy days in 1944, when he was sent to the University of Colorado to study radio communication, and then to be a radio opera-tor on the Saratoga. He was a part of REACT - Radio Emergency Associated Communication Teams – when living and working in the San Juan Islands.

“There was this man, Fred Lions, who would sit by the radio all day long and broadcast around the island whenever somebody needed help,” Edward said.

Whenever he was out on the water in the Archangel, Father Ted would tune in and help out distressed ves-sels in need.

Father Ted returned to radio in his retirement as a ham radio operator here in the San Juans.

He also spent time paint-ing and sculpting. He lived with his wife Mary Jane in a log cabin they built until she passed away in 2010. He moved to Poulsbo for a short time to be closer to his son and his family, before returning to live in the Village at the Harbour in Friday Harbor.

“Since coming back, his spirit has come home,” said Edward to the gathering on Sunday. “I’m so thankful for you all who encourage his love and spirit.”

Keep moving on scope process

One of the most exhaus-tive reviews of any project in this state, the environmental study of the Gateway ship-ping terminal in Whatcom County is unprecedented in its vast scope.

The state of Washington has expanded the study far beyond its regular param-eters.

Now, over a year into this expensive review, the regulatory agency is being asked to stop it in its tracks. Due to objections from the Lummi Nation, the Army Corps of Engineers is decid-ing whether to cancel the study.

What is the harm in com-pleting this lawful process? Are the opponents fearful of what the science and facts will show about Gateway’s impact? And if this govern-ment agency is not willing to finish it, why on earth did they start it in the first place?

Gateway has commit-ted to complying with all required laws and regula-tions, and modified their proposal to further improve compliance. I believe the environment and respon-sible industry can co-exist with this terminal.

The Cherry Point indus-tries are among the most heavily regulated in the entire country. We can be sure that Gateway will be the same. I am well satis-fied that the various impacts can be mitigated. But noth-

ing will happen if the Army Corps decides to negate an orderly and lawful process that has worked well for countless years. No busi-ness will consider locating in Whatcom County - or Washington state - know-ing that any single group opposed to industry wields a big “no” vote that carries more weight than any other. No business can operate with this kind of unpredict-ability.

I urge the Army Corps to keep this process moving forward in a timely fashion, and to let the facts speak for the project, not innuendos and anti-business foes. It’s the right thing to do.

Thank you.GORDON JONASSON

Thoughts on Charleston tragedy

I wept when I heard of the Charleston church shoot-ings; wept for the senseless loss of life, wept for how we as a nation have become numb to these never-ending

tragedies. And wept pre-cisely for the frustration so many of us feel for seem-ingly being unable to do anything about it.

The President, who has addressed the nation 13 times after such “mass shootings” (the “minor” ones don’t make CNN), said it himself:

“Unfor tunately, the grip of the National Rifle Association on Congress is extremely strong. I don’t foresee any legislative action being taken in this Congress, and I don’t fore-see any real action being taken until the American public feels a sufficient sense of urgency.”

A sad and sober assess-ment from the man who brought us a message of hope and change.

Well I am not willing or able to acquiesce to my or Obama’s cynicism on this issue. There are no easy answers, but there are indeed simple, everyday actions we all can take to empower ourselves and start being the change we

The San Juan County Sheriff ’s Office responded to the following calls.

check on two dogs that had been left home alone for two days, alleg-edly without food and water. The dogs were found in good condition with food, water and shelter.

• A deputy received a report of a theft on De Haro Lane in Friday Harbor. The victim reported that a jar of coins was stolen from his residence.

June 25• A deputy took a theft complaint

from a Lopez Island resident. The reporting person stated an uniden-tified person(s) stole two “private road, no trespassing” signs, valued at $40 each. One of the signs was on her property and the other was on her neighbor’s property.

Refuse To AbuseThese days, professional

sports teams are expected to publicly address domestic and sexual violence. When they get it wrong, the public lets them hear about it. But that wasn’t always the case.

In 1995, the Seattle Mariners were in a race for the Western Division Pennant and fans adopted the phrase “Refuse to Lose” to cheer them on. It was the first time the team advanced to the American League Championship Series and it was a time when no one in professional sports was talking about domestic vio-lence. The Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WSCADV) asked the Mariners if they would collaborate on a domestic vi-olence prevention campaign. The Mariners response? “Yes. It’s the right thing to do.”

Since that day, the two or-ganizations have partnered on this effort. Refuse To Abuse® includes print, radio, and television public service announcements featuring prominent Mariners players speaking out against domes-tic violence and promoting healthy, respectful relation-ships. Having credible, pro-fessional male athletes speak out on this issue helps send a powerful message to young people.

A few years ago, Refuse To Abuse® expanded to include a 5K fun run/walk to raise mon-ey for WSCADV’s violence prevention work and create an opportunity for Mariners fans to join them and help end domestic violence. The only run to take place entire-ly at Safeco Field—the course goes through every level of the ballpark, from the top to the players tunnel to a final lap around the field—the event encourages participants to start conversations about healthy relationships with young people and gives them concrete tools to do so.

For the past nineteen years, the Seattle Mariners have done more than just talk about helping raise awareness about this issue, they have stood firm in their leadership role. If you need another rea-son to feel good about cheer-ing for the Mariners, Refuse To Abuse® is a good one.

Register today for the Goodwill Refuse To Abuse® 5K at Safeco Field at re-fusetoabuse5k.org.

To find the domestic vio-lence program in your com-munity, visit wscadv.org or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY).

wish to see in the world.I suggest that if you want

to see less violence in soci-ety, then stop consuming it. Seriously. Just like any other product, if we stop buying it, they’ll stop making it.

Rather than seeing the latest iteration of “Lethal Weapon,” check out “Moneyball” instead. At

birthday gift time, choose the baseball mitt over “Mortal Kombat.” I am not naïve. Admittedly, these actions alone will not ame-liorate this enormously complex problem. But we have to start somewhere. And the power of the pock-etbook is huge; perhaps the only thing that gets the attention of corporations and Congress.

LETTERSCONTINUED FROM 2

By Jessie StenslandWhidbey News-Times Co-editor

The Island County coro-ner identified the body dis-covered in the waters off of a North Whidbey beach Wednesday as an Orcas Island man.

David Fleischmann, 66, worked at the Madrona Bar and Grill restaurant on Orcas Island, according to the coroner.

Island County Coroner Robert Bishop said it’s unknown at this point how the man died or how he got into the water.

An autopsy is scheduled for Saturday. Bishop said he doesn’t see any obvious signs of trauma.

Pol ice found Fleischmann’s car at the Orcas Island ferry dock, but that didn’t solve the mystery.

Fleischmann was last seen at noon on Wednesday at the restaurant, where he usually stopped by at

lunchtime to get a Coke, Bishop said. A resident on Whidbey Island called 911 after finding his body in the surf off Moran Beach on Wednesday at 3:37 p.m.

Bishop said he’s had cases before in which peo-ple jump off of ferries, but he’s not sure at this point if that’s what might have hap-pened in this case or if it’s even possible for the body to have drifted that far in just a few hours.

He plans on asking for the surveillance footage at the ferry dock.

Undersheriff Kelly Mauck said a citizen on the beach, which is near Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, saw the body floating in the surf Wednesday afternoon.

The citizen pulled the body to shore, covered it and called 911.

Fleischmann lived alone and his only family is out of state.

Due to extremely dry conditions, a burn ban is now in effect at all San Juan County parks and campgrounds. At this time briquettes may be used in designated fire rings and propane cook stoves are allowed for cooking. County Parks asks that the public exercise great care with all flam-mable items. Also, remember that personal fireworks are banned in all of San Juan County.

County Parks will issue an update if the situation changes.

Submitted by Lopez Island Prevention Coalition His look has changed a bit since the 40s, but for more

than 70 years Smokey the Bear has been around to remind us to be safe with fire. Created in 1944, this familiar icon has educated generations of Americans about fire preven-tion. His original campaign message, “Smokey Says – Care Will Prevent 9 out of 10 Forest Fires,” was later modified to be the one that most of us recall, “Remember . . . Only YOU Can Prevent Forest Fires.” However in 2001, in response to a massive outbreak of wildfires in natural areas other than forests, Smokey’s message was changed to read, “Only You Can Prevent Wildfires.” Wildfire is a term that applies to any unwanted, unplanned or uncontrolled outdoor fire.

With debris disposal fires ending last month and the drier summer months ahead, Lopez Fire and EMS would like to remind everyone that recreational fires are limited to 2 feet in diameter in an approved fire pit. All the fire stations on Lopez, along with a sign located coming from the ferry, have fire danger signage. “If the signs on the fire stations or Ferry Road indicate EXTREME, all outdoor burning is banned,” reminds Lopez Fire Chief Jim Ghiglione.

Also a reminder that personal-use fireworks are banned at any time in San Juan County – before and after the Fourth of July. Firework displays require a permit from the

Washington State Fire Marshal and the permit must also have a signature from the local Fire Marshall, Bob Low.

For more information about fires or the local ordinance concerning fireworks go to www.sjcfiremarshall.org or to the Washington state fire marshall site,www.wsp.wa.gov/fire/firemars.htm.

When using fire, be prepared, be safe and be respon-sible. Remember Only YOU Can Prevent Wildfires.

On Wednesday, July 15, at 11 a.m., the Lopez Island Library will host the 35th Annual Teddy Bear Picnic in the orchard behind the library. This special event is held each year in honor of Helen Anderson who start-ed the Teddy Bear Picnic in 1978. (There was no picnic in that period.)

Anderson was a retired schoolteacher who had a passion for children and learning and was instru-mental from 1968 to 1990 in establishing programs and materials for children in the Lopez Library. She read stories to the children each week and haunted bookstores looking for used books to help build the chil-dren’s collection.

Many adults, ages 25 to 48, raised on Lopez will tell you that they learned to love reading as children because of her.

In 1986 the children’s room of the library was dedicated to Anderson. She also catalogued, mended, covered and shelved books and took many a turn cover-

ing the circulation desk too. Though she was never a paid employee she trained several employees through the years.

She prepared all year for the Teddy Bear Picnic creating tiny origami bas-kets out of newspaper, little books filled with sto-rybook teddy bears and handmade bookmarks for each child.

She would also roust out volunteer musicians and storytellers to put on the entertainment each year.

The picnic is the largest event held by the library each year and is now held annually in her honor.

There is typically great weather, and popular sing-er/songwriter Charley Thweatt will lead children in his wonderful sing-along songs. Mr. Bear visits each year too. Children may

bring their favorite stuffed friend along for the fun and snacks will be provided. We hope you will join us

as we celebrate Anderson, the joys of childhood and the brilliance of a summer picnic.

When I first began my work as your Lopez Island Fire Chief July 1, 2008, I was challenged to improve communica-tions for our first responders and thereby improve public safety for all. This has been a tall order given our rugged and remote landscape, federally mandated radio frequency realignments that resulted in two way radio communica-tions going from bad to worse, and the fact that, until OPALCO came forward, no one was willing to make the infrastructure investment necessary to serve our unique rural community. There are large communication gaps on Lopez – and throughout our island communities that: prevent our first responders from getting a call, delay care for our sick and injured citizens, isolate our first responders (including OPALCO linemen) who routinely put them-selves in dangerous situations to serve the community, and

limit our team’s ability to deliver services.A few short years ago a man suffered a cardiac event

while biking on the island. His companions tried to use their cell phone to call for help but had no signal. There was a delay of over five minutes before they could contact the 911 center, and by the time we arrived the victim had died. Two years ago there was an industrial accident and the worker died. Fortunately his coworkers did have a cell signal, con-tacted 911, we were dispatched and our medic and EMTs revived him, were able to contact the on-call physician and the receiving hospital using the cellular phone. However had this accident been 200 yards further down the road, there was no cell signal.

Now, thanks to OPALCO and Rock Island Communications, the first big step to help meet my man-date to deploy and implement a solution to close the com-munication gaps. With the expansion of OPALCO’s electric

and fiber grid and Rock Island Communication’s wireless deployment, we are on our way to a higher level of public safety. There are some on Lopez who will object to the poles that are going up (in accordance with the County’s Joint Use Wireless Facilities code) – but I cannot lose sight of the critical need to strengthen emergency communica-tions for our entire community, for the safety of our EMS and fire volunteers and lose the opportunity to create a true county-wide safety net.

Thank you, OPALCO leadership, for choosing fiber 15 years ago, your commitment to safety and raising the quality of life in our island communities and your coop-eration with the EMS community. Thank you Rock Island Communications for your expertise in building and manag-ing the wireless solution to reach into some of our remote corners. Thank you for helping me to do the job that I was hired to do.

ONE HAMLET COTTAGE NOW AVAILABLE1-bedroom garden cottage for rent.

Begins at $997/month for those with moderate income. More info: 468-2620.

This week’s fact-finding excursion takes us to The Hamlet Cottages. If you think you’ve got the whole story, prepare yourself for a few surprises!

How old is too old, and how young is too young?You can’t get in until you’re 55, but after the double

nickels, the sky’s the limit.

Are the cottages for sale?No, you can’t buy one, they’re only for rent. In fact

they’ve never been for sale. Just sign a simple one-year lease and you’re good to go.

Why are the cottages so fun?The answer comes from the folks who live there. “It’s

like living with a bunch of friends. All you have to do is open your front door … or if privacy is your cup of tea, don’t. It’s all good.”

Will I miss cleaning gutters and mowing my 5 acres? Probably not…you’ll be too busy figuring how how to

enjoy all your new free time.

Who will be my neighbors? Artists, hikers, golfers, pet-lovers, Margarita makers,

gurus, former farmers, readers and writers, avid volunteers, basically, the whole (Lopez) enchilada.

Could my parents move there from Poughkeepsie?Absolutely. The Cottages are for everyone who wants

the Lopez lifestyle.

What if I just want to come take a look? No problem, just give the office a call. We’re definitely

visitor-friendly.

Lopez Library’s 35th Annual Teddy Bear Picnic

Submitted by Lopez Island Academy StaffLopez Island Academy is a private nonprofit organization (501-3C status pending) that

is being formed to give the students on Lopez Island the option of an alternative style of education. We plan to be supported by tax deductible donations, tuition and volunteers. If you would like to help promote traditional Christian education on Lopez Island with your time or financial support, please let us know.

Lopez Island Academy will offer education to grades K through 12. We will purchase our curriculum through the accredited (MSA-CESS and FACCS) A Beka Academy Master Video Program. A Beka Academy (501C-3 nonprofit) has produced books and programs for over 40 years. The curriculum is designed to provide the highest academic standards, with a foundation of Christian beliefs and values. We anticipate working with the public school

to provide additional academic and athletic opportunities.Lessons will be given by DVD or by online streaming of expertly produced actual class-

room environments. The academy will employ a full-time administrator, with volunteers assisting in the monitoring of classes as well as helping students with tests and workbook lessons.

Currently the Lopez Island Academy intends to lease a facility for the school to meet. We have a few options and are researching which will be the best fit. . Classes are planned to start in the fall of 2015, and will be conducted five days a week, six hours per day, continuing through the spring of 2016. Future school years will follow a similar schedule.

Lopez Island Academy admits students of any race, color, national origin and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

Please feel free to get more information and contact us on our Facebook page www.LopezIslandAcademy.org or email us at [email protected].

Senator Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, released the following statement regarding the transporta-tion budget.

“This evening we passed a transportation package that makes an historic $6.1 billion investment in our transportation infra-structure. It funds a fourth ferry and provides $300 million in new operating funds to guarantee ferry service levels for over six years. It provides fund-ing for critical projects in Whatcom, Skagit and San Juan Counties such as the

Guemes Channel Trail, Sharpes Corner and the Slater Road Interchange.

“Unfortunately I could not support this proposal as it included language that the Republicans demanded, blocking Governor Inslee from advancing the clean fuels program. The clean fuels program is one of the most effective and proven ways to address climate change, safeguard clean air and support new and innovative Washington busi-nesses and local jobs.

“The clean fuels program would reduce carbon emis-

sions by over four million tons per year in Washington state. Children with asthma and adults with chronic lung disease will breathe easier with each passing year as fuels, and the air, become cleaner in Washington. The oil industry should be held accountable for cleaning up the air that they impact instead of taxpayers footing the bill.

“In the end, however, we were asked to choose between a critical transpor-tation package and clean air and healthy communities. Washingtonians deserve clean air and safe roads. To pit one against the other is a false choice and helps no one. We need both.

“We should have passed a clean transportation package that simply builds critical transportation infra-structure and does not make ideological demands.

“The health of our chil-dren, our economy and our environment are at stake. There is so much more we can do as a state and a country to address climate change. Today one of those critical tools was taken from us.”

The Friends of the Lopez Library and the Lopez Island Library welcome author Pam Houston Saturday, July 11, at 7 p.m., Woodmen Hall. Houston, an award-winning author, will be present-ing an evening of adventure travel stories.

This program is for the Lopez read-ing community and the Pam Houston fan but it is for those that love travel and adventure, too. She is the author of two collections of linked short sto-ries, “Cowboys Are My Weakness,” which was the winner of the 1993 Western States Book Award and has been translated into nine languages, and “Waltzing the Cat,” which won the Willa Award for Contemporary Fiction.

A novel, “Contents May Have Shifted,” was released in 2012. Her essays and stories have been widely anthologized.

A collection of autobiographical essays, “A Little More About Me” (W.W. Norton), was published in 1999,

and a novel, “Sight Hound,” in 2005. Houston has edited a collection of fiction, nonfiction and poetry for Ecco Press called “Women on Hunting” and written the text for a book of photo-graphs called “Men Before Ten A.M.”

Her stories have been selected for Best American Short Stories, the O. Henry Awards, the Pushcart Prize and the Evil Companions Literary Award. Her story “The Best Girlfriend You Never Had” was John Updike’s only addition to Best American Short Stories of the Century.

She is a regular contributor to The New York Times, Outside Magazine, Bark, More, Women’s Adventure Magazine and many other periodicals.

She has appeared routinely on CBS Sunday morning presenting literary essays on the wilderness.

Pam Houston is Professor of English at UC Davis and directs the literary nonprofit Writing by Writers. She teaches in the Pacific University low-residency MFA program and at

writers’ conferences around the world.When she isn’t traveling she lives on

a ranch at 9,000 feet in Colorado near the headwaters of the Rio Grande.

The Lopez Bookshop will have a selection of her work for sale at the event and the author will be available for book-signing.

By Anna V. SmithJournal reporter

The fire on Goose Island that began Friday, June 26, is still smoldering after a second attempt to put it out. San Juan Fire and Rescue spent approximately six hours Monday and around 100,000 gallons of seawa-ter on the fire, according to Steve Marler, fire chief.

The fire was allegedly started by a homemade firecracker after being launched off a boat that was close to Goose Island. Initial attempts to put it out result-ed in Fire and Rescue decid-ing to let it burn itself out. On Monday the fire flared up again.

Marler said Goose Island, which is owned by the Nature Conservancy, is not within fire district bound-aries and help from the

Nature Conservancy “is not going to happen.”

The Department of Natural Resources does not cover Goose Island for fire protection, and much of their resources are focused on wildfires in eastern Washington.

“Its just one of those things we’re trying to do the right thing and figuring out who is supposed to be responsible, and that has not been easy,” Marler said. He estimates about half of the island has burned at this point, fueled by guano. His team has been working around nests and birds on the ground, as well as protective parents swoop-ing overhead.

“Our goal was two-fold,” he said. “To protect the rest of the nests and to protect residents from the smoke that’s been blowing over the

island, particularly people with health issues.”

Marler says he has got-ten in touch with Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, in order to figure out funding

for the Fire and Rescue to keep the fire down if it were to reignite.

“The fire is mostly extin-guished,” Marler said. “It wouldn’t surprise me if it
