Jared Goodman, an attorney with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which spearheaded the ESA petition, said that Lolita’s continued captivity is illegal, as well as inhumane. “The government now has to conduct a full review of its unlawful and unexplained decision to deny Lolita protection from being harmed and harassed at Miami Seaquarium.” said Goodman, who noted that the review must consider why the 1995 endangered species listing of Southern Resident killer whales carved out a sole exception for Lolita, excluding her from the protections of the listing with “no rationale whatsoever.” Declared endangered by the U.S. in 2005, the Southern residents consist of three closely related clans, J, K, and L pods, which make the waterways of the San Juan Islands a seasonal home.

The “Free Lolita” movement has gained a foothold. Eighteen years after Howard Garrett, Ken Balcomb, and then-Governor Mike Lowry initiated the movement to return L-pod member Lolita from the Miami Seaquarium to her native Northwest waters, the National Marine Fisheries Service accepted a petition to consider whether Lolita should be included as part of the Endangered Species Act listing of Southern Resident killer whales, now numbered at 84 - plus Lolita. Lolita is the only survivor of 45 Southern Resident orcas held in captivity. She was captured in 1970 at about age three, along with six other Southern Resident whales and has lived almost her entire life in a pool at Seaquarium in Miami, Florida. Lolita has not had the companionship of another killer whale for more than 30 years, since her pool mate, Hugo, died in 1980 after repeatedly slamming his head against the side of the pool he shared with Lolita for two years.
Orca has been a marine park attraction since captured in ‘70s
Familiar faces will be at the helm of local government’s legislative branch and executive branch as a new chapter unfolds in the 100-plusyear history of San Juan County. On April 23, voters backed the reelection bids of three County Council incumbents in a first countywide election in seven years – excluding February’s primary, handing Lopez Island’s Jamie Stephens a decisive victory in the District 3 race, 57 percent of 7,036 ballots cast, and selecting Bob Jarman, District 1 (San Juan), and Rick Hughes, District 2 (Orcas), each by a razor-thin margin. The newly elected council will be sworn into office May 13. Jarman, who six months ago defeated then-council incumbent Lovel Pratt in a “district-only” election for the former 6-person council position, bested Pratt in last week’s “special election” by only 113 votes (50.5 percent), just 14 more on the plus side than when the Rick Hughes two squared off in November. Although he expected a close outcome, Jarman believed the odds of reelection were good. “When I looked at the primary numbers I felt pretty sure I’d get most of Marc’s votes (Councilman Marc Forlenza), and that it would be a pretty close race,” Jarman said. “Then when it got down to the wire and anyone would ask me, I’d say,
‘just toss a coin’. But I felt pretty good about my chances.” With 7,096 ballots cast, the April 23 voterturnout total is almost 59 percent, about 7 percent higher than February’s primary. Another Bob Jarman 60 ballots will be counted May 1, and results of the election will be certified May. 7. Last week’s election follows on the heels of a series of wholesale changes to the county charter approved by voters in November, which reduced the size of the

Enforcement gets overhaul Fines slashed, process reduced under county code enforcement redux By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
A new San Juan County Code Enforcement Ordinance is ready for public comment and council action. Seven years after the former County Commission decided the code Enforcement ordinance needed work, the Planning Commission presented a new draft ordinance to the County Council at a special meeting of the council on April 8. At that meeting, the council scheduled a “Second Touch” hearing on April 23, and a public hearing and possible final passage for May 7, the last meeting of the six-person council before the recently-elected three-member council takes office. The regulations implement enforcement and appeals procedures, and reduced penalties, for violations of the county unified development code, which includes county laws on land development, remodeling, shoreline protection and the critical areas ordinances. Enforcement of the county’s building and construction codes are also affected by the code enforcement ordinance. Code enforcement proce-
dures have been a source of complaints and dissatisfaction in the building community since the current enforcement ordinance was passed in 1998. According to Rene Beliveau, director of Community Development and Planning Department, builders and developers told him and the planning commission that notice of violation procedures were unclear, penalty provisions excessive, and correction and remediation methods unwieldy. All of these problems have been addressed in the proposal, Beliveau said. A $2,300 up-front filing fee for appeals of land use decisions, originally designed to discourage frivolous appeals, has been a particular sore spot for builders and developers. The council is expected to reduce that fee separately. Prohibiting third parties from intervening directly in appeals of violations was also suggested by the planning commission and included in the new code by the council. The proposed ordinance reduces penalties for violations, many of them by half, and provides for time to cure or correct violations before penalties or additional penalties are imposed. Double penalties are imposed for repeat

violations, and triple penalties for Shoreline Master Program violations are also included. In addition, stop work orders, emergency orders, liens, and suspension or revocation of permits are rewritten. The planning commission, which has worked on the draft for two years, recommended the final version with only one “no” vote on one section of the proposal. That kind of near-unanimity, after all the contentiousness of the CAO review, should result in final passage by the council on May 7, probably the last major act of the 6-person council.

Art museum leases EMS building, with purchase agreement pending The San Juan Islands Museum of Art has put $5,000 down to purchase the Frank Wilson EMS Building on Spring Street for $550,000. EMS Chief Jim Cole and Hospital Commission Chairwoman Lenore Bayuk accepted the check on April 26 from IMA board members Chuck Bodenstab and Jack Yelverton. Full ownership of the building and property won’t happen until SJIMA comes up with the rest of the money, but both Bodenstab and Jack Yelverton are confident that the museum, founded in 2001 as the Visual Arts Museum, will raise the money before April, 2016. That’s the date the deal must be done, according to EMS Cole. Until then, SJIMA will be making lease payments of $1,000 per month (plus taxes, utilities and insurance) to the San Juan County Hospital District, the owner of the building. As incentive to close the deal, the price for the building will increase by six percent per year until the final payment is made. Bodenstab, Yelverton and museum advisor Stephanie Johnson O’Day negotiated the transaction with the San Juan County Hospital District. According to state law, the property could only be sold for at least $460,000 - the average of three independent appraisals obtained by the hospital district. The museum is moving quickly to turn the EMS center into a museum for exhibits, educational classrooms and multi-media presentations.

county council from six elected officials to three, redrew the council legislative districts from six to three as well, and instituted countywide elections for each of those three newly created council positions. In addition, changes to the charter turned the three council positions into full-time jobs, eliminated the position of county administrator, and Jamie Stephens delivered into the hands of the council the responsibility for both legislative duties and day-to-day management of the county. Council members will be paid an annual salary of $75,000, plus benefits. A top task for the newly elected council will be selecting a county manager, whose duties will include assisting in the county’s daily management Stephens, who defeated first-time council candidate Brian McClerren by roughly 900 votes, winning 17 of the county’s 19 voting precincts, said selection of a county manager and meeting with department supervi-
sors will be key to smoothing out the rough edges of the transition that lies ahead. “I think it’ll be really important how all that gets handled,” he said. “I think we’ll be able to do that well.” Like Jarman, incumbent Rick Hughes, elected to the former 6-person council in November’s district-only election, came in second in the District 2 three-way February primary. He trailed first-place finisher Lisa Byers, director of Of People and Land, an Orcas-based affordable housing group, by nearly 20 percent. Still, Hughes anticipated supporters of council candidate Greg Ayers, eliminated in the primary, were likely to jump on his bandwagon, and that the margin separating the two remaining District 2 candidates would be tight. With a 148-advantage overall, Hughes garnered 51 percent of ballots cast. He gained 331 more votes on San Juan Island and 205 more than first-time public office candidate Byers on Orcas Island to eclipse a 388-vote advantage that Byers received from voters in District 3 (Lopez/Shaw). “I’m thrilled with Orcas West’s support for me and with Eastsound too,” he said. “And my hat’s off to San Juan Island, they’re a lot of the reason why I’m here.”

He believes the Legal Foundation’s petition will be rejected. PETA has also filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture seeking to revoke the permit under which the Seaquarium is holding Lolita. The basis for that lawsuit, Goodman said, is that the size of Lolita’s pool and other specifications fall well short of federal regulations for killer whale captivity. Howard Garrett, chairman of Orca Network, says the upcoming review by NMFS may be the best chance that Lolita has to return to her home waters.

A division of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, NMFS must complete its review by January of 2014, after publishing a proposed rule, expected next week, for conducting its review and accepting comments and other information from interested parties on both sides of the issue. That still won’t end the controversy. The Fisheries Service explained on its website: “By January 25, 2014, we’ll make a determination on whether the petitioned action is warranted.

High praise for Hall, Collado, cast
Wow! Having attended the Friday Night opening of San Juan Community Theatre’s production of Into the Woods, we cannot recommend it highly enough. Director Margaret Hall has organized a wonderful, talented cast and Musical Director Jim Collado has definitely “raised the bar” with his fantastic orchestra. The hours put into this play really show. The set is magnificent and the costumes, as always, terrific. Having once seen this play on Broadway starring Bernadette Peters, we truly believe our production matches and might even exceed in some places what was done there. This is definitely a “notto-be missed” production, so we encourage everyone to quickly get tickets to one of the next two weekend shows. And remember that Thursday, May 2 is bargain night. You definitely will not be sorry. A big thanks to the entire cast and crew. Pat/Bob Nieman San Juan Island

ment, and money. Sometimes lots of money. And the frequency of ferry breakdowns is increasing. Witness the last couple weeks; 3-of-5 boats out of service. We have had the surcharge we paid (to build a fund for new boats) taken away and given to the disastrous floating bridge project. The rest of the ferry system has better on-time records, fewer breakdowns and cancelled runs, and other options when problems arise. They also have newer, cleaner boats and more galley service. A ferry worker recently told me that the Kaleetan (a large ferry) is now doing the Bainbridge run because those folks wanted a boat with a galley that could make their lattes. Seriously! At a time when the San Juans are being touted as one of the top destinations in the world and the nation, and we have received National Monument status, the health of our marine highway should be addressed. The question is “what can we do about it?” Grousing to the ferry system might make us feel better but it doesn’t solve anything. It is time for us to become the islands that know how to be the squeaky wheel. If we sit here and do nothing, nothing is what we will get. So let’s give Olympia an earful. Together. If 1,000 of us would each make five or six phone calls in the next couple weeks, or send one email every day through May, Olympia would take notice. There is strength in numbers. The few minutes it would take to communicate is a small price to pay to get Olympia to sit up and take notice. Please join me in doing a lot of communicating now

Island Clean-up a sweeping success
Many thanks to everyone who participated in this year’s Great Island CleanUp. After days of rain, the weather cooperated, and about 200 volunteers scoured San Juan Island’s roadsides and beaches, collecting a whopping 3,600 pounds of litter. Particular appreciation goes to the following organizations that supported the effort with teams of litterpicker-uppers: Chamber of Commerce, Crystal Seas Kayaking, Cutthroat Pirates, Earthbox Inn & Spa, Friday Harbor Labs/San Juan Nature Institute; Friends of the San Juans, Islanders Bank, Kiwanis, League of Women Voters, Leos, Lions, Mitchell Point Litter Ladies,

National Historic Park. With the work of the Conservation Fund, our San Juan County Land Bank, The San Juan Preservation Trust, the National Park Service, our senators Cantwell and Murray, our new park superintendent Lee Taylor, and a host of others, we have 34 new acres in a gem of a location, added to English Camp. The celebration on Sunday afternoon was a memorable time, coming at the end of a week when our nation experienced violence and sadness. As we gathered in the sun, facing the lovely cove that connects the Webb land to English Camp, and an eagle flew over, we sang the National Anthem and recognized the people who came to represent their organizations. It was with a sense of pride that we knew our parks will endure and help to keep our priorities straight in difficult times. When Lee Taylor hauled out her trusty guitar to lead us in “This

Knocked out by ‘Into the Woods’
We loved ‘Into the Woods’, now playing at the San Juan Island Community Theatre. Franky, I was dreading the evening, having seen an awful community theatre performance of the Stephan Sondheim musical many years ago. I’m so glad we went Friday night. Wonderful performances, staging, and direction. We really enjoyed the evening. Jim/Carolee Maya San Juan Island

Ferry Home Companion
Born Free
Theatre makes ‘make-believe’ believable
L
olita, the killer whale who has spent 43 of her 48 years of life entertaining tourists from a small swimming pool at Seaquarium in Miami (an enclosure that reportedly does not meet federal standards for killer whales), should be released from confinement and given a chance to return to her home waters in the Northwest. Lolita is a Southern Resident killer whale. All Southern resident orcas except Lolita were given protection in 2005 under an Endangered Species Act declaration by the National Marine Fisheries Service. That 2005 listing, however, specifically but without explanation excluded whales already in confinement — the only one of which still living is Lolita. Several local groups and individuals, led by Howard Garrett of the Orca Network and Ken Balcolm of the Center for Whale Research, have enlisted lawyers from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to petition the Fisheries Service to remove the exclusion of Lolita from ESA protection. The NMFS announced last week they have accepted the petition and will spend the next few months deciding the issue. If Lolita is “relisted” as a member of an endangered species, PETA can use that argument and the substandard conditions at Seaquarium as evidence that Lolita should be removed from Seaquarium. Nobody know for sure whether Lolita can be reunited with her family, but researchers believe she still vocalizes in her population’s language and may have close relatives, including her mother, still alive. Garrett, Balcolm and others have been seeking Lolita’s release since 1995 and have prepared a thorough plan for rehabilitation and care at a local bay, whether or not reintroduction to the pod is successful. We hope the NMFS finally gives Lolita the protection she’s entitled to under the Endangered Species listing, protections that cover all of Lolita’s family members except the one that arguably is most in need of protection. We also hope that U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen and U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell, and the rest of the Washington delegation, will follow up their good work on the National Monument designation by helping return Lolita, a Washington state icon, back to Washington.

Local production is as breathtaking as award-winning Broadway show
A
ttending the opening of “Into the Woods” we were pleased to have reserved front row seats. Not only because we could see the beautiful costumes and made up faces better, but also because we could see both the orchestra pit artists and the two dozen principals in this great production. It was a blast! Small wonder that Stephen Sondheim received Broadway Tony Awards for Best Score, Best Book, and Best Actress in 1988. What gets me is seeing any empty seats at this gigantic production staged and “choreographed” by Margaret Hall. As one old enough to have seen the first use of a revolving stage at Geary theatre in San Francisco around 1942, starring Gertrude Lawrence and Noel Coward in “Lady in the Dark”, I can honestly say that the way our pros had their houses lifted into the sky, Howard had giant trees being pushed around Schonberger by giant Beanstalk poachers, and how Columnist Rapunzel and her hair came to life from her huge tower was just as breathtaking. What you see in this play is a weaving of most of our fairy tales into a mixed agenda of peril and joy with a libretto of songs based on the fairytales of our childhood… not always with a happy ending for some, but understandable. Jill Urbach is a convincing Witch, but becomes a beauty in this fast moving plot…her performance is amazingly scary. Just giving you the cast and the parts they play will give you an idea of how difficult it is to move them on stage with such well choreographed speed.

Outstanding switch hitters besides Urbach were Doug Schirmer as Cinderella’s Prince, as well as the Big Bad Wolf, and Pammy Gillette as Granny and Giantess. Strong kudos, bravos and bravas also go to Jack (Nicholas Zervas) and his play mother (Patti Bair), Rapunzel (Raena Robertson), Rapunzel’s Prince (Tyler Strasser), Snow White (Elizabeth Schubert), Steward (Dana Rice) Stump Girl (Chiara Power) and Mysterious Man (Doug Rowan). James Lapine wrote the book for Sondheim’s award winning musical comedy. It’s hard to imagine that our small island would have the talent to have explosions of stage smoke (mist) and even flocks of flying, singing birds to go with some songs. Don’t miss it, gang. It’s a boffo hit, as they say in Billboard.

SJ Pilots honor Nasman, LaBar Founders of Aeronautical Services earn place in museum ‘wall of fame’
S
an Juan aviation pioneers Marilyn and Les LaBar, founders of Friday Harbor-based Aeronautical Services, are the sixth recipients of the San Juan Pilots Association’s
annual award honoring San Juan Island aviators. Les and Marilyn (now Marilyn Nasman) started Aeronautical Services in the early 1970s. The company was then, and still remains,
a lifeline for packages and parcels shipped to and from the mainland, and throughout the islands. The two honorees were inducted into the San Juan Aviation Museum on Sunday, April 28, at the airport’s Roy Franklin Terminal. The ceremony featured stories about early island aviation. A contract carrier for United Parcel Service, Aeronautical Services began with an extremely small staff of hard working people. If you sent a package from Friday Harbor to East Sound, it might have been picked up, flown and hand-delivered by the same person. Those who remember Aeronautical’s big blue Otter airplanes were very thankful for the service — and the magnificent sound of those big radial engines. The San Juan Aviation

In “Lessons from the Heartland: A Turbulent Half-Century of Public Education in an Iconic American City”, longtime reporter, editor and education writer Barbara J. Miner reveals a crucial turning point now taking place in heartland of the U.S. and her hometown by tackling the future of public education and its impact on America’s multi-cultural society. Miner will be at Griffin Bay Bookstore, Saturday, May 4, to talk about her observations and latest book as part of a nationwide tour. Cast in a non-fiction narrative, Lessons from the Heartland traces the racially charged past of Milwaukee’s public education system and explores the uncertainty of it future. The book reflects both the keen eye of a journalist with an affection for her hometown, as Miner describes her hometown’s fall from grace.

Certified Geriatric Pharmacist as newest member of our Pharmacy Team!
O
RPh Kayla Kosel, at the privacy consultation window.
ur executive staff will be on hand to celebrate this important addition to the Friday Harbor Drug Staff. Kayla, born in Portland, Oregon in 1965, is as excited as we are to have her expertise as a graduate certified geriatric pharmacist in house. Although her varied career began as an ice cream truck driver, and included army service as a member of the US Army Chorus in Germany, her work in long term care led to obtaining her degree from the University of Washington School of Pharmacy in 1996. Kayla’s Mom, three sisters and four nephews all live in Oregon. She loves to travel, scuba, boat, hear good music and do most anything outside. Coming to Washington in the early 90s and liking it, she looks forward to making lots of new friends in this new-to-her island. Lots of good refreshments, fitting the occasion. Come shake hands and enjoy!

LEGAL NO. SJ474786 Published: The Journal of the San Juan Islands, The Islands’ Sounder. April 24, May, 1, 2013. NOTIFICATION OF INTENT TO OBTAIN CUSTODY. Per RCW 79.100, San Juan County intends to take custody of a derelict, unnamed Boston Whaler on Orcas Island, with Washington registration # WN8752??, on May 15th, 2013 The vessel is beached near Beach Haven Resort, Orcas island, San Juan County, without proper registration and is in poor condition. After taking custody, San Juan County may use or dispose of the vessel without further notice. To retain custody of this vessel before the Custody Date, the owner must: 1) notify the coordinator below and 2) remove the vessel from the beach. Registration and seaworthiness should also be addressed. To redeem this vessel once San Juan County has taken custody, per RCW 53.08.320 (5) (b), the owner must commence a lawsuit to contest San Juan County’s decision to obtain custody of the vessel, or the amount of reimbursement owed, in the superior court of the county in which the vessel was located. The written request can be sub-
mitted immediately but cannot be filed any later than the tenth day after the date of custody, which will be May 25th, 2013. The right to a hearing is deemed waived if a request is submitted late, and the owner is liable for any costs owed to San Juan County. These costs may include all administrative costs incurred by San Juan County, removal and disposal costs, and costs associated with environmental damages directly or indirectly caused by the vessel. In the event of litigation, the prevailing party is entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. San Juan County reserves the right to pursue any other remedies available under law.

The three hospitals recently sent a request for proposal (RFP) to regional healthcare systems to establish a beneficial relationship. We encourage you to share your suggestions, comments or concerns with us. Please find the RFP and email addresses for our elected Commissioners at www.islandhospital.org, then click on “About Us”, then “Leadership”. Thank you for helping us provide the very best possible healthcare to the communities we serve.
