A seemingly successful legal career came to an apparent end as a Whidbey Island attorney confessed in a San Juan County courtroom to forging checks and stealing nearly $100,000 from the estate of a San Juan Island woman whose estate he was representing.

Taking a bus out to the westside may sound a little counter intui-tive to a local, but then again, it is the greener way.

This summer, the Visitors Bureau is offering a 2-for-1 spe-cial on daily passes; $15 will buy two seats on the Scenic Byway Bus Route on San Juan and on Orcas. Regular commuters can get a 20-ride special for $40.

The Scenic Byway connects the

icons of the two islands, and it is very convenient for day trips. I traveled on the Orcas bus with Liz Illg, the Scenic Byway Project Coordinator, to go see the Solstice Festival last weekend. The pick-up times were aligned with the ferry

schedule, so that our shuttle was waiting for us as we stepped off the Sealth.

Eagle with Three Chiefs, an unusual carved totem, was installed in the San Juan Island Library on June 13.

The 91-inch tall totem was carved by Robert Horn, a noted First Nations carver, about 1940. Horn (or Horne) was from a family of well-known carvers.

The totem base is an unusual side-facing eagle: the eagle’s tal-ons point east, the head faces south. The eagle is capped by a group of three chiefs, recognized by their three-ringed hats.

According to the book Totem Poles by Pat Kramer, the cluster of chiefs repre-sents the Haida Watchmen, an ancient society entrusted with guarding Haida Gwaii, the ancestral home of the Haida Nation previously named the Queen Charlotte Islands.

The library received the totem as a bequest from Patsi Daugherty. Daugherty was

a stalwart supporter of the San Juan Island Library, vol-unteering in the Friends of the Library Treasure Cove store. She loved books and libraries.

Prior to her death at age 86, Daugherty lived for a time at the Village at the Harbour, where the totem previ-ously graced the foyer.

“When Larry D a u g h e r t y told me about the bequest in Patsi’s will, I was very touched and excited,” library Director Laurie Orton said. “The Library

Art Committee vetted the acquisition and the Board of Trustees approved it on Tuesday.”

Carved from a solid piece of western red cedar, the totem is approximately 91-inches tall, 18-inches wide, and 12-inches deep. It is mounted, fittingly, at the end of the Library’s Northwest collection, near the fireplace.

The Place Restaurant and Bar recently earned an award of “Excellence” from one of the nation’s lead-ing online guides for travel information and user-gen-erated reviews of hotels, inns and restaurants.

Now in its 17th year, the Place Restaurant and Bar received a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence Award for 2013. The online travel guide, founded in 2000, awards certificates of excellence to businesses that consistently earn top-rating from TripAdvisor travel-ers. The award places these establishments among the top-performing 10 percent of businesses worldwide on TripAdvisor.

The Place offers a wide array of Northwest cuisine and menu selections featuring a variety of locally grown products. The restaurant is owned by Steve and Kathy Anderson. For more information, 378-8707, www.the-placefridayharbor.com.

San Juan County parks bagged more than half of the Public Facilities Financing Assistance Program funds allocated for 2014 by the County Council.

A stair access project for Agate Beach on Lopez was awarded $75,400 and renovation of the Otis Perkins Day Park, also on Lopez, was awarded $58,900.

The rest of the $264,000 in available funds was allocated to the Port of Friday Harbor and the San Juan County Fairground. The airport visitors automobile turnaround received slightly less than $22,000 and a sidewalk project on Mullis Street near the airport was awarded $33,000.

At the Fairgrounds, $7,000 was awarded to the Horticulture Greenhouse Phase I project, $4,000 to an electrical project and $64,500 for a “double vault toilet” project.

The PFFAP Advisory Committee reviews applications and recommends awards, which are screened for legal compliance by the Prosecuting Attorney’s office. The

committee consists of the chairman of the County Council, the county auditor, the county manager, and a representative of the Town of Friday Harbor and one from the port districts.

Because applications for projects from the Town of Friday Harbor and the Eastsound Sewer and Water District were incomplete, the advisory committee recommended not to consider those projects, instead suggest-ing re-application for next year.

Funding for the local PFFAP are gener-ated by a .09 percent sales and use tax passed by the Legislature years ago for the purpose of funding public facilities which promote economic development. By law, the funds must be used for a “public facility” listed on the county economic development plan, and the money must “foster economic development in the community,” but it can-not be used to assist private businesses.

Perhaps reflecting an improved economy in the islands, the amount allocated for 2014 represents an increase of about $70,000 over the amount allocated for 2013.

Big payday for SJC Parks

Person of the Year, John Stonecipher of Arizona.

Blankenship is CEO of Frontline Call Center on Orcas Island. Launched in 2005, Frontline has grown into a multimillion-dol-lar company with more than 60 employees in 12 states. Frontline is the Orcas Island’s third-largest employer.

“I want to congratulate Jill for being named the 2013 Washington state small business person of the year,” Cantwell said. “Her company is a testament to

the American entrepre-neurial spirit and innova-tion economy. Frontline demonstrates exactly what makes small businesses so critical to the economic suc-cess of communities across our nation.”

Also as part of the National Small Business Week celebration, Cantwell joined 55 of her colleagues to co-sponsor a bipar-tisan senate resolution, honoring entrepreneurs and small businesspeople across America. Resolution 177 passed the U.S. Senate unanimously June 19.

life, I felt like a tourist in the San Juan Islands - in a good way.

I didn’t needed to ask many questions. Illg can speak about just about any-thing with the knowledge of a tour guide and the passion of a local. When I asked her if she liked reading his-tory, she replied that she always reads the history of a place she’s about to visit. She seems at times a teach-

er, at times a modest social worker, at times a thorough scientist.

Illg refers to her current project as an experiment.

“If we give people a free ticket, will they take it?” she wonders.

Her task this summer is to engage locals in some-thing that is widely con-sidered a tourist service. But Illg envisions that the seats will soon be filled with islanders and visitors alike, just like my day on Orcas. In Illg’s own words, the idea is simply to minimize our

environmental impact and maximize our island expe-rience. Ideally, some locals will begin to use the bus regularly — even to com-mute to work.

“It will be hard for island-ers to give up their trucks,” Illg admits. But at the core of the Scenic Byway Bus System project is a keen awareness of what islanders love about their islands.

Illg grew up here in the ‘50s, spending every sum-mer in the Puget Sound. Seeing San Juan become overrun with visitors, she says, was really painful.

But now she works for the tourist industry, invit-ing people to come because she wants people to learn something.

“I think it’s important for people to have a real experi-ence here. To understand how our actions impact landscapes like this, and the ocean. I think we do a really good job at stewardship on the islands, so I see visitors’ experiences as a teachable moment - to gain an under-standing and a respect for the earth.”

estate of Gwendolyn Wilson and depos-ited the money into a personal account. He reportedly paid back the money, with interest, while the alleged theft was under investigation.

Saar, a minority partner in Skinner & Saar, was forced to withdraw in February after former partner, Christian Skinner, received paperwork detailing alleged

improprieties and over-billing by Saar in an unrelated case. He reportedly violated the firm’s policy against representing an estate independently and is accused of misap-propriating $42,000 involving a Whidbey Island estate.

According to court records, Saar had been struggling to fend off foreclosure involving personal property of his own. He said in court he plans to start a company that offers ongoing education to lawyers in the state, but faces the loss of his license.

between faculty and stu-dents that is the essence of education.”

Shelby Alger, an art-ist, is heading to the U.W. School of Business; Josef Blanc-Ridings will study environmental science and international busi-ness at Fairhaven College at Western Washington; Mackenzie Brown will study pre-med at Western Washington; Christopher Jones will pursue a degree in Anthropology at UCLA; Melissa Mortenson, an hon-ors graduate in Multimedia Interactive Technology will be a freelance designer; Rhys Thompson is head-

ed off to Linfield College, then to medical school; Patricia Tullock, of Orcas Island, will study psychol-ogy at Washington State; Cheyenne Payne wants to pursue a career as a mid-wife.

Faculty speakers were Dr. Michael Balise, and Robin Meyer-Tate, who recited a poem with a message to “find the holy,” “take your time,” and “what the heck was that?”.

Student speaker Patricia Tullock movingly described her complex, sometimes troubled journey - which included, she said, “some bad choices” and a stint behind bars. Her time in prison and now in college has brought her life back and showed there’s a pur-

pose for it, she said, thank-ing her classmates and teachers for their help.

After receiving their diplomas and enjoying a

half-hour of socializing, drinking pink lemonade and eating a few snacks, the graduates filtered out the door and into the future.

She spent most of her school years in southwest Virginia and was valedictorian of her high school. She received an academic/sports scholarship to Milligan College in Johnson City, Tenn., and after two years transferred to James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va. to complete her home eco-nomics and teaching degree.

Her first teaching job was in Richlands, Va., where she met her first husband, Burdette Givens, a veterinarian. They had three children: Craig, Peggy, and Carol. Burdette died in 1962. Peg returned to James Madison University to earn her Masters Degree in counseling, and subsequently moved to Alexandria, Vax to be a high school guidance counselor.

Through her eldest sister, Peg met Fred Hoeppner, who moved to the San Juan Islands after his retirement from the Navy. Peg and Fred married October, 1972, in Virginia, and their adventures began.

The first year they spent traveling, skiing, and starting to build their home on Mitchell Bay. Peg was very active in the community and church: Medical Guild, Power Squadron, Yacht Club, Sailing Club, Presbyterian Church, Investment Club, Neighborhood Book Club, and playing bridge with friends.

Peg is preceded in death by her first husband Burdette Givens, sister Jean Patch, daughter Margaret (Peggy) Swan, and her second husband, Fred Hoeppner.

She is survived by her son Craig Givens and his wife Betsy Gregory, daughter Carol Krohn and her husband David, and granddaughter Andrea, grandson Court Swan and his wife Jane, along with great grandson Will, and grandson Wes Swan, her sisters Ethel Caraway, Ruth Taylor, and Betty Ann Sheets.

A Memorial Service for Peg will be held at the Presbyterian Church on Spring Street in Friday Harbor, Saturday, June 29, at 10:30 a.m.

Peg’s family would like to thank her wonderful neighbors for their love and support over the years and her caregiving staff for their compassion in her last years.

Despair over new broadband path

I am deeply disappointed that OPALCO abandoned its proposal to bring broad-band to the entire coun-ty before a larger share of members had decided whether or not to support it.

The proposal involved taking on significant debt and posed real risks for OPALCO, but for members, not going forward is much riskier.

Already we are well behind in internet capac-ity. Virtually every aspect of business, education, medi-cine, security, not to men-tion entertainment, depends increasingly on internet bandwidth with demand projected to increase many times over.

OPALCO’s proposal would have given nearly all members fiber optic or high-speed wireless connec-tions to take us into the next decades. Given our small market and difficult terrain, the private sector is not going to invest to build us such infrastructure.

We will have to do it our-selves, and OPALCO is the only practical vehicle.

Now, OPALCO will lease fiber to providers, over time adding fiber as it upgrades lines. Some will get more speed soon, but everyone will still depend on and be limited by copper for part of the connection; others will be left out altogether.

Service will almost cer-tainly be inadequate for the growing need for broad-band, leaving us unable to keep up with economic and technological change.

The future prosperity of these islands may depend on this decision, so every-one should have the fullest chance to weigh in.

Healthcare: their way or highway?

Since the Catholic church has been unable to man-date women’s healthcare reproductive rights using the ballot box in the state of Washington, they’ve brought out their big guns: check books.

The idea is they buy con-trolling interest in a local hospital. Woman then must comply with male religious mandates or go elsewhere.

It’s sort of like the selfish boy on the playground who owns the only ball and says, “Play by my rules or go to another playground.”

Hey ‘Blue’, thanks for job well done

For the past six years I have been just one of many volunteers who have sup-ported the youth program of Friday Harbor Baseball and Softball.

One of my roles was to coordinate the umpires for the boy’s Major, Minor and Junior programs. Now that my son is a moving from the Elementary School fields up to Hartman Field, I will hand this job off to another parent volunteer. But as I leave I would like to thank all the men and women who have answered the call to umpire youth baseball and softball.

If you know anything about the game of baseball

or softball, you will know that the umpire is always wrong, blind in at least one eye and has no idea what they are doing.

But if you can view the game objectively for just a moment, you will see that these individuals come out to make play safe, fair and fun for our kids — while at the same time enduring the wrath of parents and coach-es for little or no thanks and the occasional left over hot dog from the conces-sion stand.

So on behalf of Friday Harbor Baseball and Softball I would like to extend our sincere apprecia-tion to the following indi-viduals for making quality youth baseball and softball possible in our commu-nity: Bill Cumming, John Cornell, Rob Cuomo, Steve Cutting, David Flaum, Marc Lampe, Garett Holmes, Phil Mayer, Dave Brown, Jeff Seitz, Mike Martin, Michele Melbourne, John Pachuta, Scott Rasmussen, Mike Herko and George Alexander — as well as the high school boys and girls who have taken a turn behind the plate or on the baselines.

I am sure I have over-looked someone in my list, and for that I apologize. Please know you are no less appreciated.

So, to all of you named or not — Thanks Blue. We could not have done it with-out you.

And what about all the potholes?

To Honorable Mayor Carrie Lacher and Friday Harbor Town Council,

In this past’s weeks arti-

cle entitled “ Brickworks unveiled” (Journal, June 19, pg. 1), you stated that “This is a historic day that we’re all going to remember” and “I’m so glad, down to the very tips of my toes, that the council found a way to participate in making this a reality”, in taking $100,000 of the lodging tax fund for this project.

This, while the streets in Friday Harbor are full of pot holes and in much need of repair.

Price Steet in front of the Paideia School and St. Francis Catholic Church has so many pot holes that never get fixed. I know that we at St. Francis have for over a year both written to the city manager and called. Being told that when the weather gets better they will get fixed. As of today, this has not happened.

This is not the only street in Friday Harbor that has these issues, there are many. Church services are held daily at St. Francis and Sundays at Paideia. Many elderly attend and these pot

holes are a safety issue and need to be addressed.

This is a poor reflection to its sought after visitors that walk, drive and pedal on or across our city streets. This is in addition to the town residents and island residents that are asked to support the local economy and yet live with this neglect.

Thanks from Labs for ‘Jazz’ support

We would like to extend a special thank you to spon-sors, donors, attendees, musicians, emcees, com-munity supporters, and the UW Friday Harbor Labs staff who made the 13th annual Jazz at the Labs fun-draiser event a great suc-cess.

All proceeds collected from this event benefit the Friday Harbor Labs (K-12) Science Outreach Program — a partnership between UW Friday Harbor Labs, the San Juan Island School

District and the Spring Street International School. This exciting hands-on sci-ence program engages all kindergarten through high school students in the pro-cess of science. FHLSOP is one of the reasons the students on San Juan Island have become leaders in STEM (science, technol-ogy, engineering and math) careers.

The Friday Harbor Labs Science Outreach Program’s success in the schools is due to the incredible commit-ment and enthusiasm for the program’s projects par-ticularly on the part of the K-12 teachers, administra-tion and students.

In addition, we receive incredibly generous sup-port from the Wells Fargo Foundation, Dr. Carolyn Haugen, San Juan Public Schools Foundation, San Juan Island Community Foundation, Port of Friday Harbor, Friday Harbor Elementary School PTA, San Juan Nature Institute

Editorial

Go Fourth! The 4th of July is San Juan Island’s, and

America’s, outdoor holiday, packed with events for kids and adults at both ends of San Juan Island.

Let’s hope that the weather cooperates.Check out the list in this paper, pg. 8, for

things that you and the kids might have fun doing; there are many.

Service clubs like Kiwanis and Rotary and local businesses like Valmark, Ace Hardware and Vic’s have once again put up the cash to provide the community with another “Fourth to Remember.” More than 100 local volunteers add their work so you can have a good time on the only public holiday that is still celebrated on the actual celebration date.

You can thank all of them and show your community spirit by coming out to participate.

Both at Roche Harbor and Friday Harbor, there are more events than you can shake a stick at, from the “Fabulous Fifties” parade in downtown Friday Harbor to the last vestige of fireworks at Roche Harbor. And this year, the Cherry Point coal-port opponents will be mak-ing some points about freedom of speech and independence from environmental degradation.

From the One More Time band at the Kiwanis Pig War Picnic at the Historical Museum grounds to the “Timebenders” at the Rotary’s 12th annual Rock the Dock, you can dance ‘til you drop - then let the fireworks tease out the “oohs” and “ahs” from the kids - and you.

It’s a special day for kids: face-painting, three-legged racing, and egg-tossing at the Picnic, kids games, donut eating, and blindfolded dinghy racing at Roche Harbor. Rekindle the spirit of Independence Day in the kids, and maybe some of those good feelings of Fourths past will come back to you again.

And if you’re a teenager too old for kids’ games, the Picnic, Rock-the-Dock and walking the Roche Harbor docks are just the place to meet some new friends, try out some new dance moves or just maybe run into that person you want to hang out with for an hour or two.

Let’s make this the best Fourth ever - and encourage all the people who spend time and money doing it for us to make the next Fourth even better.

Special to the Journal

He was only 18 when he wrote this,” Lisa said, as she handed me a typewritten manuscript, the work of R. David Pennings, her father.

His story, sent in to be published in the mid-60s, portrays his comrades as the characters we read of in the novel, saw in the movie, and watched in the TV series, MASH. After deployment from Japan, his MASH unit attached to the Victory Division (the bittersweet name given the 24th Infantry) and marched north into the jaws of the enemy.

Lisa Brown proceeded to unpack the duffle bag of a sol-dier medic of the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) unit, equipped to treat the soldier and civilian wounded.

With care and reverence, Lisa unfolded her father’s heavy dark khaki flight suit, and then laid out each item, telling of what she had learned of the fight to hold the line and defend the outnumbered, outgunned, and ill-prepared Republic of Korea from the powerful North Korean People’s Army that had flooded across the 38th Parallel on June 25, 1950, tak-ing the capital city of Seoul in three bloody days.

Theirs was an impossible task, but if they could save South Korea from being overrun, they could buy time for MacArthur’s 8th army to form up for a counter attack. With the backdrop of intense fighting, bombed out cities and extreme casualties, the young medic (who later became a pharmacist, then scientist and cancer researcher) wrote of the bravery, fun-loving antics, and constant dedication to preserve life that he experienced with his platoon.

“He was sent in to the front lines to administer treatment and triage,” Lisa said. “There were times he had to carry the wounded through enemy fire.”

Hypocrites spoke of the way war advanced medicine when he said, “War is the only proper school for a surgeon.”

Indeed. Helicopter rescue and emergency medicine techniques were developed in Korea. If a wounded sol-dier could make it alive to a MASH unit, there was a 97-percent chance he would survive; and the surgeons treated civilians and enemy soldiers as well. No wonder they called them “MASH angels.”

One account of her father’s service is memorial-ized in a book, War in Korea, by Marguerite Higgins, in which he is referenced as the “medic corporal.” Lisa noted that her father had mistaken the author of the book, a combat correspon-dent, as a nurse and sent her to the front car of the hospital train, which he had filled with the less injured, thinking that she would be able to handle their injuries on her own. He stayed in the back car to tend to the more severely injured.

“This account is impres-sive, considering my father was the only medic assigned to tend to the two box cars full of injured soldiers at the age of 19, and only (but

sadly) two casualties resulted. When we asked him to share stories about what happened in Korea he became stoic and didn’t want to discuss the horror that he witnessed. Instead, he told about the friendships he developed and how they made the agonizing chaos bearable.”

“It is sad that he carried this burden all his life, but I believe it made him more compassionate - he was a kind and loving man. I am proud of my father for his service to our country, his desire to help others, and his ability to find the “positive” in any situation. This he imparted to my brothers and sisters and me, and even our children, and we are grateful. To honor and carry on this spirit, we all enjoy volunteering for service organizations in our communities.”

We are about to celebrate Independence Day with the “Fabulous Fifties” parade theme. The American Legion Post 163 Auxiliary put together a float depicting a MASH unit of that time. We found the veterans — the people of legends — heard their stories, and again realized that we live among heroes; men and women who are the “real thing”.

Our float will consist of Lee Brewer’s jeep — Brewer

By Mike VouriSpecial to the Journal

Ask any San Juan Islander or park visitor if he/she has ever heard the names Harvey A. Allen, Thomas Grey or Lewis Cass Hunt. All

three of these officers were U.S. Army commanders at American Camp during the Pig War crisis and joint military occupation.

Chances are the answer will be no.The same cannot be said for George E. Pickett. For

even if they do not know his full name, or his role in the Pig War, they will have heard of the charge at Gettysburg that bears his name; the charge that culminated in disaster for the Army of Northern Virginia; the charge led to a speech by Abraham Lincoln months later, the first six words of which are known to nearly every man, woman and child in America.

That’s why we have a Pickett’s Lane; why his grandson and great grandson were included in commemorative activities in the 20th century; why there is a painting of him and his troops on the second floor of the county courthouse; why the county’s first auditor, Ed Warbass, claimed (falsely) that he lived in Pickett’s house and had a portrait of him in Confederate gray hanging over his fireplace; and, finally, why Michael Cohen and I have been telling his story over the last 17 years.

We will once again re-live Pickett’s Charge 150 years to the day of that terrible event during The Life and Times of General George Pickett at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, July 3 at the San Juan Community Theatre. Never has this segment of the play, which dominates the second act, seemed more immediate and important to understand.

For the last 20 years we have lived through a period of seemingly endless war, sending young (and some not so young) men and women in harm’s way halfway across the world. Some come home physically and emotionally scarred. Some never make it back. Taken at face value, war is about killing. As one of Pickett’s contemporaries, William T. Sherman put it:

“I confess, without shame, that I am sick and tired of fighting — its

glory is all moonshine; even success the most brilliant is over dead and mangled bodies, with the anguish and lamentations of distant families, appealing to me for sons, husbands, and fathers… it is only those who have never heard a shot, never heard the shriek and groans of the wounded and lacerated… that cry aloud for more blood, more vengeance, more desolation.”

Pickett’s division comprised only three of the 11 total Confederate brigades involved in the charge, which is known officially as Longstreet’s Second Assault, for Lt. Gen. James Longstreet, who was nominally (and reluctantly) assigned the task by Gen. Robert E. Lee. But because Pickett’s division was in the main composed of Virginians and, argu-ably, penetrated further into the Union center than any other, the charge is closely identified with him.

After two bloody days of fighting in and around the crossroads vil-lage, Lee pinned all hope of destroying Northern morale and influenc-ing and turning fall elections against Abraham Lincoln’s Republicans with an all-out frontal assault on the Union center across nearly a mile of open ground. Preceded by a largely ineffectual artillery bombard-ment (the shots were long), the Confederates approached in two battle lines nearly a mile long, which were shredded by cannon and rifle fire before a fraction of the force hit the Union line. They soon fell back, leaderless and without order, stumbling over their fallen comrades. By the end of the day Pickett’s division suffered 2,655 casualties out just over 6,000 soldiers.

Page 10: Journal of the San Juans, June 26, 2013

Years later when Pickett encountered the old Confederate partisan lead-er, John Mosby, while on a business trip to Richmond, Mosby suggested they visit Lee, who was staying in a nearby hotel. The two men spent about an hour with

their old commander. The meeting was “cold and for-mal,” and after they left Lee’s room Mosby recalled Pickett bitterly exclaiming, “That old man had my division massacred at Gettysburg.”

Mosby replied: “But it made you immortal.”

But by then, it was an immortality that Pickett would have gladly shed.

San Juan Island National

Historical Park was cre-ated by Act of Congress in 1966 based upon the idea that individuals and nations can sometimes resolve their conflicts peacefully without resorting to violence. What happened at Gettysburg did not happen here, and that’s what makes San Juan Island so special.

We think George Pickett would have agreed.

Calendar:Continued from page 9 ‘Fab Four’ returns

The long and winding road leads to San Juan Community Theatre, as Abbey Road Live! returns to for its fourth per-formance on the Whittier Stage, Saturday, July 6.

(For all you die-hard Beatles fans, No. 9, the “White Album”, is getting closer every day).

The members of this Beatles tribute band orginally got together to pay homage to the ground-breaking music of the “Abbey Road” album. The driving force for the band remains the music, rather than the image — they don’t don mop-top haircuts or wield Rickenbacker guitars, as the Fab Four did early on in their career. Still, Abbey Road Live! takes to the stage with a songlist that features more than 100 classic Beatles tunes from all eras of the legend-ary musicians history-making career.

The show starts at 8 p.m.; admission for adults is $25, $12 student reserved, $5 day-of-event student RUSH. For tickets, info, 378-3210, www.sjctheatre.org
