Ballot Shot for the history books tracker system dumped

Court ruling prompts fee hike

But clash in court over barcodes remains unresolved

Journal staff report

By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

The ballot bar code lawsuit, White v. Reed, is now eight years old and does not appear to be ending any time soon. The lawsuit claims that bar codes on the ballot envelope and on the ballot itself violate the Washington law that states, “No paper ballot or ballot card may be marked in any way that would permit the identification of the person who voted that ballot.” Multiple motions have been filed, briefed and argued, but the only clear result is that San Juan County is likely to save money by abandoning the Mail-in Ballot Tracking system previously used here. County Auditor Milene Henley said that after Superior Court Judge Don Eaton decided that the tracking system violated a state law that requires any voting system to obtain federal certification, she decided not to appeal that decision, but instead to abandon the MIBT system, even though Henley insists that the MIBT system did not in any way compromise ballot secrecy. Not using the MIBT system “would require more staff hours

The present $5 per parcel assessment for San Juan Islands Conservation District programs in San Juan County will be raised by five cents an acre if an ordinance under consideration by the San Juan County Council is enacted. The district provides technical assistance and grants to landowners for conservation-related projects to promote local agriculture, improved farm and forest management practices, habitat protection and restoration. In 2012, the district provided free advice and assistance to about 80 county See hike, Page 4

Dangerous dog rules tweaked

This infor

By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

In response to a recent Washington Court of Appeals ruling in a Pierce County case, San Juan County and the Town of Friday Harbor are in the process of amending their dangerous dog ordinances. Both amendments are scheduled for initial consideration by the County Council and the Town Council at meetings on Tuesday, July 30, and Thursday, Aug. 1, respectively. Although the town may amend its dangerous dog ordinance immediately, both town and county are expected to pass the new ordinances in coming weeks. The court case determined that fees charged for

“fact-finding hearings” on appeal, following a determination by a local animal control officer that a dog should be classified as a “dangerous dog” or a “potentially dangerous dog, were unlawful. And there’s more. In addition, both county and town ordinances now set forth a “probable cause” standard for the dangerous dog determination; the new ordinances will change that standard to a “preponderance of the evidence” standard , which is now used for most civil court cases. As of 2011, there were 19 potentially dangerous dogs in the county, according to the Sheriff ’s department statistics at the time, and of those, 10 were pitbulls. The town, which previously had only public nuisance rules to apply to incidents involving dog attacks, amended its rules two years ago to be consistent with the county’s laws on dangerous dogs.

Youth cleanup crew goes the distance

SOLAR IS AT IT’S PEAK!

Big haul: more than a ton of trash, 1,000 lbs of recycling, mound of noxious weeds

The cost of solar panels are at an all-time low. Take advantage of

Three San Juan Island kids have been walking 12 miles a day to clear San Juan County’s beaches, roads and parks of litter and noxious weeds. The Ecology Youth Corps has been deployed on all four ferry-served islands for the past month. They concluded their work this week, and as one participant stated, “it’s not easy work but it’s been worth it in the end.” The partnership between San Juan County Public Works and the Ecology Youth Corps is funded by the Ecology Community Litter Cleanup Program. The Ecology Youth Corps is Washington State's largest youth employment program. Participants earn minimum wage while gaining job skills, teamwork experience, and safety awareness. The three teenagers hired this year from San Juan Island are Abbie Vogel, Christian De La Zerda, and Carter Feuhr. EYC Supervisor Erik Moore said, “we have removed well over a ton of trash, nearly 1,000 pounds of recycling, pulled countless hundreds of noxious weeds, cleaned around 100 miles of roadways, and over 90 acres of beaches and parks.” This year the crew expanded its work to include the removal of noxious weeds along county roads. “Identifying and removing noxious weeds provides an opportunity for island youth to enlarge their understanding of the natural world, while helping out their island community," Judy Jackson of the county Noxious Weed Board said. "The Noxious Weed Board is grateful to the Ecology Youth Corps for their help in removing tansy ragwort and common teasel from our roadsides.” Moore noted that this summer’s program has been a great

success and that the island group is covering more miles than any other youth corps group in the state. Sam Gibboney, county Solid Waste administrator, has hopes for future summer programs. “The Youth Corps program is an excellent example of state, local and community collaboration,” she said. “It’s a win for all involved.” The kids agree and hope the program is available for other youth next year. “I’ve learned a lot about plants and recycling and got a lot of exercise,” one of the crew said. “It’s been a good job.”

After a few bumps in the road and some insistent communications to San Juan County Council members from Orcas Recycling Services supporters, the contract for operating the Orcas Island transfer station will be discussed, but not voted on, at the County Council hearing on Monday, July 29. Absent a last-minute glitch, the council will schedule a public hearing with public testimony in August, followed by a council vote authorizing that the contract be signed and operations at the site be turned over to ORS a few weeks later. “I don’t believe there will be any impediments to concluding the deal with ORS,” said Frank Mulcahy, director of the county Public Works department, which is the agency responsible for privatizing the county dump sites on Orcas and San Juan islands. After a failed public vote on a proposed property tax parcel fee in 2011, the sixperson council decided to get the county out of the garbage and recycling business. Citizens on Lopez Island formed a statutory

public waste disposal district in 2012 and are now operating the Lopez collection and recycling center, using funding provided by a property tax increase approved by Lopez voters. The county is now just concluding negotiations with Lautenbach Industries of Skagit County to operate the Friday Harbor-owned transfer station on Sutton Road on San Juan Island. A contract for operation of the Orcas Island transfer site was the subject of a hardfought competition between Orcas Recycling Services and Cimarron Trucking. ORS is the parent non-profit company of The Exchange, operator of the reuse and recycling center on Orcas that recently burned to the ground, but which is expected to be rebuilt and back in operation later this year or early next year. Cimarron Trucking has been the designated hauler of garbage and recycling from Orcas under contract with Waste Management. That contract was extended on a month-by-month basis until ORS takes over operations at the facility, expected by the end of September, according to Mulcahy.

Disposal district seeks penny hike Lopez voters will be asked to approve a .13 percent increase in the local property tax to partially fund operations of the Lopez dump in 2014, a proposition that will be on the November, 2013, general election ballot. The tax will raise a total of about $115,000, taking the levy from 9.7 cents per $1,000 of valuation

to 11 cents per $1,000. Under the state constitution, solid waste disposal districts (there are four in Washington, two of which are in San Juan County) must seek voter approval every year for tax levies. Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District Board Member Sandy Bishop said the district will try to

change state law so annual levy propositions are not required. Bishop pointed out that the more successful the district is in reducing waste and increasing recycling and reuse, the less money the district earns from handling trash, necessitating the small tax increase this year. - Steve Wehrly

ent evidence at a trial that the “unique identifier” bar code on the ballot could be “linked” to a specific voter. The county, and Elections Supervisor Doris Schaller, say, “There is no possible linkage between the bar codes on the ballot and the name of the voter who voted that ballot.” Schaller explained that when the mailing envelope (which has the voter’s signature and a unique tracking bar code on it) is received, the election office verifies that the signature matches the voter’s signature, then the mailing envelope and the interior security envelope are opened by two people and separated before the ballot is removed from the security envelope. After the ballot is separated from the mailing envelope and then removed from the security envelope, the ballots are kept under lock and key and cannot be linked to the name of any voter.

Aeronautical Services to host 40th anniversary, birthday bash

Forty years in business is something to celebrate. That’s just what Steve Franklin of Aeronautical Services intends to do. The Friday Harbor-based commercial airfreight company will commemorate 40 years of delivering packages by air with a reunion and open house, Saturday, Aug. 10., at the company hangar at Friday Harbor Airport, noon to 3 p.m. In addition to employees, former and current, as well as customers, the event is open to all, Franklin said. For info, 360-378-2640, or 562-500-4067. Look for details in next week’s edition of the Journal.

The two different “unique numbers” are separately printed on the envelope and the ballot respectively by different computer programs, and the different numbers are never correlated by any person or computer. Absent a nefarious conspiracy by two ballot handlers and the Auditor’s professional staff at the time the ballots are opened, matching the voter name and the votes on the ballot simply cannot be accomplished, according to

Schaller. Tim White is not at all deterred by the steep hill he must climb to remove bar codes from ballots. He said if the current lawsuit, which was originally filed in 2006 and may not be resolved for some months, is not decided in favor of the plaintiffs, he and others are prepared to continue to seek legislative action in the county council, in the state legislature, or by initiative to get the bar codes removed.

fees rather than to the conservation district for land conservation programs. The conservation district parcel fee raised about $73,000 in 2012, which represents about one-third of the district budget. The other two-thirds comes from federal and state government sources, although the recent sequester enacted by Congress may eliminate the federal contribution. — Steve Wehrly

Firefighters help battle blaze near Wenatchee

Wednesday, July 31, 2013 — 5

San Juan Island Fire Rescue on Saturday dispatched three firefighters and two vehicles to Central Washington to assist at a fire located near Wenatchee. The “Colockum Park” fire, in Chelan County was first discovered early Saturday and is reported to have grown to an area covering more than 1.5 square miles. San Juan Island Lieutenant Tad Lean will be working as a “Strike Team Leader” trainee. Strike Team Leaders are responsible for numerous firefighters and fire engines while working on the fire lines. Firefighters Michael Henderson and Joseph Foriska will be operating a “brush truck”, which is a pickup-sized fire engine designed for battling wildland fires. As a side note, Washington State Ferry System agreed to delay the sailing of the ferry Kaleetan for five minutes so that the emergency responders would not be delayed for several hours. San Juan Island Fire Rescue participates in the statewide Fire Mobilization System, coordinated by the State Fire Marshal. The system reimburses Wenatchee Herald / Don Seabrook participating agencies for their costs. The firefighters that participate gain Two firefighters monitor burning bush outside of Wenatchee, part of the ‘Colockum valuable experience that they bring back and share with the rest of the crew. In addition, should a major fire threaten San Juan County, the State Park’ fire in Chelan County. Mobilization System will be available to send assistance. Staffed predominantly by volunteers, San Juan Island Fire Rescue oper- the region’s only fire boat.

The service consists of a one-hour site visit by a qualified wetlands professional, determination of whether a wetland exists in a location of concern, and, if so, identification of the wetland type under the county’s new critical areas rules. As part of the assessment, a property owner will receive a summary of findings and generalized map of the evaluated area. If it is determined that a wetland does not exist, the county wetland map will be modified to reflect that information.

Opinion Letters to the Editor

Puzzled by pick of photos of the past

I always turn to the obituaries first. What can I say, I’m 84. I have a question which turns out to be a comment on my disappointment at seeing the picture of someone who has died, possibly a friend — why do people put in a photo of the person at a very young age, someone who was born in, say, 1920 when the current year is 2013? No one alive will be able to recognize the person. I hope someone responds to my question. Mary Frances McElfresh Friday Harbor

Hats off to parade ‘No coal’ brigade

To the 85 people who marched with us in the parade on July 4th to raise public awareness regarding safe shipping in the San Juan Islands, we say “Thank You!” The much larger than expected turnout of concerned citizens — together with a coal ship, ferry boat, oil spill, informative signs, and singing children — had such an effect, that the judges deemed us “Spectacular”. To the 15 people who volunteered for the construction and transportation of the 32-foot cardboard coal ship, “Accident Prone”, and the to-scale Washington State ferry, we also extend many thanks. Together we truly can

stop the permitting and construction of the Cherry Point coal export terminal near Bellingham. This terminal would allow gargantuan capesize-vessels to traverse through Haro and Rosario Straits, exponentially increasing the risk of an oil spill in our surrounding waters and threatening the very ecosystem that drives our county’s economy. For anyone who wants more information on this subject, look for our ship at the San Juan County Fair. Liza Michaelson/ Shaun Hubbard San Juan Island

I

By Howard Schonberger

find it gratifying to think how the San Juan Islands have managed to get things done during my 35-plus years as resident and worker. A lot of the gains we’ve made have been due to the farsighted generosity of people like Paul and Lu Whittier, who matched funds raised by citizens seeking to have better facilities than the Royal Movie theatre for live stage productions… like Island Artisans and Sunshine Gallery who provide art tuition for high school graduates heading for art careers… like the San Juan Islands Agricultural Howard Guild and the Grange who worked as a team for a while, and even after a split, Schonberger were able to get the Brickworks project Columnist going… and finally, the San Juan Island Community Foundation, against some opposition, with Charles Anderson and team in the lead, were able to provide us with the country’s second-most energy efficient hospital here on this island. It’s too bad that some folks get too vicious in their disputes. Maybe they learn it from watching debates in Washington, D.C. on television. I dunno. But I do care, if something needed is stalled or junked, and obvious needs are ignored. As a Lions Club member for over 50 years, 17 in Palo Alto and 35 on San Juan Island, I’ve never seen legalistic logistics make anything proceed any slower than the Carter Avenue Ballfields and Community Park. One of the greatest obstacles to those fields and park being finished and ready for play is its conditional-use permit (CUP). Fellow Lion Brian Brown had a cup of coffee with me the other day and brought me a letter. He has never given me a bum steer and I back his words 100 percent. Here it is: Update on Carter Avenue Ballfields and Community Park

The football/soccer field is complete with goal post funding promised when the conditional-use permit is issued by

the Town of Friday Harbor. The Club House bathrooms need the plumbing fixtures set and counters are needed for the kitchen. One of the baseball fields has some grading done and awaits completion. Both wells are providing adequate water to irrigate the fields. With this said, there are many things left to do and they cost money. To enable the Town of Friday Harbor to issue the CUP the following items need to be completed: n The restroom facility (Club House) must be completed and a certificate of occupancy issued by the Town of Friday Harbor. Plumbing fixtures and counters: estimated cost, $2,500. n The completion of sidewalks from Guard Street to Larson Street: estimated cost for sidewalks, $80,966. The town approved crosswalk, $30,000. The sidewalks will require a public hearing in front of the town council. n Completion of the water rights for the wells on the property for irrigation of the fields. We are currently in the process of finishing the paperwork with no problems anticipated. n Maintenance and operating agreements have been drafted and will be presented to the town as per the CUP requirements. n Completion of 1,000 feet of fencing and gates as per locations designated in the CUP. Some materials are on site: estimated cost, $5,500. n Storm water detention ponds need cleaning and repair: estimated cost, $5,000. n Ten percent contingency, $12,400. Our best estimate to acquire the Town of Friday Harbor mandated CUP is $136,366. This would open access to the existing fields completed, but would not provide any funding to complete additional fields. It’s hard to believe but over $1.7 million in cash, labor, material and equipment has been spent to bring the project to where it is today. Our kids are in need of this facility. Let’s get in done. — Brian Brown, grandfather Thanks Brian, we’ve got 20 grandkids, too. “We Serve” is the motto of the Lions Club. The other clubs Rotary, Kiwanis and the like have similar creeds, including the Grange. We hope their efforts aren’t held up by too much red tape by those who get paid to serve. — Go with the F. L.

Guest Column

Insider’s view: San Juan County Council in the spotlight

W

By Ingrid Gabriel, Clerk to the Council

hile the feedback to the first Corner has been largely enthusiastic, a few readers have asked, “Is this necessary? What’s the point?” Good question. I think the work of the Council is somewhat analogous to a duckling on the pond – what appears on the surface to observers is only part of the story. Those little webbed feet are paddling furiously underneath and propel the duckling forward. Likewise, the public has access to council meetings (either in person or via live-streaming), and the meeting minutes relay the council’s formal actions. But there’s a lot of action going on outside of the hearing room that’s worth noting. For example, the council spent two full mornings in EDEN training with the auditor. EDEN is the software that provides the spine and nervous system for county accounting. It’s considered a good product, but not especially user-friendly. However, the council wants to have a better understanding of how to access financial reports themselves and not take up staff time with requests.

Also, the council and county manager are holding a series of orientation meetings with various departments and touring facilities. About 20 hours of these meetings are scheduled for July Contributed photo Ingrid Gabriel and more in August extending to Lopez, Orcas and Shaw. Rick Hughes attended the Salmon Recovery Council meeting in Edmonds. Bob Jarman made a site visit to the Mount Baker road construction project, the Lambiel property, the Deer Harbor Bridge project and Orcas Artworks in Olga to see the fire damage. Bob also met with a local attorney to better understand the process for obtaining shoreline permits from an applicant’s perspective. These are just a few examples of belowthe-surface activity, but, hopefully, readers will find value in the information. So, updates and highlights from the Corner…

Corner quotes:

“Policy should reflect the needs of the citizens.” — Councilman Rick Hughes, District 2, Orcas Island

On Monday, July 15, the council met with county staff and county manager Mike Thomas. Director of Health and Community Services John Manning and Parks & Fair Director Dona Wuthnow updated the council on the 2014 Capital Improvement Projects (dedicated funds used for maintaining, improving or building County facilities). After discussion, the council approved an amendment to the CIP budget, adding $4,000 to fund a feasibility study regarding the suitability of the Post San Juan building to be re-purposed as a Parks & Fair administrative building. The fee for every document recorded at the auditor’s office includes a one dollar charge dedicated to historic preservation projects in the county. The council awards the grants to qualified applicants each year.

This year, the recipients of a total of $6,055 were the Friends of Woodmen Hall, the San Juan Historical Society & Museum, the Orcas Island Historical Society & Museum and the Lopez Island Historical Society. The county charter changes that went into effect after the November 2012 election affected the make-up of several advisory committees. The council moved to direct Prosecuting Attorney Randall Gaylord to update ordinances applicable to the Planning Commission, the Citizens Salary Committee, the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee, the Stormwater Committee, the Solid Waste Advisory Committee and the Human Services Advisory Board. At its following meeting on Tuesday, July 16, the council moved to award lodging tax funds for 2014. The Council accepted the recommendations submitted by the LTAC funding committee. A proposed ordinance setting fees for services provided by the Community Development and Planning Department was also discussed and is moving forward. Rick moved that the document will include See Spotlight, Page 9

Richard Earl Norris: April 13, 1926 — July 17, 2013 Richard Norris passed away peacefully at home on the morning of July 17, in the presence of his wife Fiona and daughter Laura. He was preceded in death by his younger son Jack. Richard, youngest child of Ernest and Freda Norris, was raised at Haller Lake, near Seattle, where his love of nature was nurtured by his adventures in and around the lake and his introduction to horticulture by his father. Richard attended Roosevelt High and earned a Bachelor’s degree in botany at the University of Washington. But for the encouragement of Professor Weston Blaser, Richard might have pursued a career in horticulture; however, a summer course taught by Professor Blaser at Friday Harbor Labs in 1947 diverted his attention to the study of algae. Horticulture remained a lifelong hobby. Richard received his Master’s degree at the University of California, Davis, and his doctoral degree at the University of California, Berkeley, conducting research on a complex group of red algae. On graduation, Richard and his wife Louisa remained in Berkeley at the U.C. Radiation Lab, where they assisted the future Nobel Prize-winning scientist Melvin Calvin in his experiments on photosynthesis. Their sons Rick and Jack were born in California, daughter Laura in Minneapolis, where Richard joined the faculty

of University of Minnesota. Travel was a feature of the early years of his career. His young family enjoyed his professional journeys to New Zealand and India. In 1961, he joined the Smithsonian Institution and represented them on two International Indian Ocean Expeditions. While in Bombay after the second of the expeditions, he was offered a post in the Botany Department, University of Washington and the family moved to Seattle and Friday Harbor. After the dissolution of his marriage, Richard took a sabbatical first to Scandinavia then to Johannesburg South Africa, where he met Fiona Contributed photo Getliffe, faculty member in Richard Norris the Botany Department of the University of Witwatersrand. In 1977, they were married and he brought his bride home to Friday Harbor. Richard left the University of Washington in 1980 and returned to South Africa for 11 years during which he continued his algal research, while Fiona resumed her teaching career. Both had positions at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, then University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, and finally at Kirstenbosch, Cape Town, headquarters of the National Botanical Gardens. In 1989, Richard received an invitation to join an old friend, Isabella Abbott, University of Hawaii, in research on local seaweeds. Fiona found employment as curator of the Herbarium at the Bishop Museum, Honolulu. At the end of his contract, they moved to Fort Worth, Texas where Fiona was appointed curator of the Herbarium at The Botanical Research Institute of Texas.

It was during that time he became a Master Gardener, but on retirement to Friday Harbor, he repeated the course more suited to local conditions, so Fiona joined him. A hallmark of Richard’s career is his fascination with all types of algae and collaboration with colleagues from all over the world. In 1984, he and U.K. colleague David Hibberd identified and established a new Division (Phylum) of organisms that Richard had collected and cultured from the Gulf of California. In recognition of his contribution to the field of phycology, colleagues have bestowed the honor of naming genera and species of algae for him. Colleague Mike Wynne, University of Michigan, has written this about Richard’s career: “His papers cover the ‘water-front’: systematics, morphology, ecology, ultrastructure, and culturing and life-history studies. In the current age of specialization, it is rare that a researcher carries on such a broad perspective on the algae, and Rich Norris is such a rare individual.” Details of his varied career are chronicled by Mike in the following article, page 14, “Phycological Trailblazer”: http:// www.psaalgae.org/docs/newsletters/vol48_no1_2012.pdf. Richard Norris leaves behind a legacy of scholarship in his published papers and his contributions to UW Friday Harbor Labs, such as the Zoo/Bot course he and friend and colleague Eugene Kozloff introduced in 1973. He is missed by his graduate students and colleagues scattered all over the world who recall his mentorship, sense of humor, and his hats! He also leaves a legacy in horticulture in the lovely gardens he created wherever he settled for more than a few weeks. He will be greatly missed by the gardening community in the islands for his guidance during Master Gardener training, and his painstaking care with plant identification. He is mourned by his wife, Fiona, son Rick and partner Wendy Dernbach, his daughter-in-law Teri Georgy Porgy, pudding Wingate, his daughter Laura, and pie, son-in-law Ken Crawbuck, and his grandchildren, Kissed the girls and Michael Norris, Claire and made them cry, Graham Crawbuck.

I

t takes a particular kind of person to notice that the hairstyle of Nicole Kidman’s character, Ada, in the movie “Cold Mountain”, is not always quite right. And not just a person with a keen eye for the evolution of women’s hairstyles, but one who knows her history, too. That profile fits Karen Haas to a tee. “Great movie, bad hair,” Haas said of the civil-war era film. “(Her hair) should have been up.” An attention to historical accuracy is much more than just a passing fancy for Haas. It’s a way of life. For the past 20 years the former music teacher turned storyteller has toured the Pacific Northwest, as well as other parts of the country, as the star of a one-woman “living history’ program, in which she embodies, portrays and brings to life the unique experience and insights of no less than 15 different characters, several of whom, such as Narcissa Whitman, Abby Williams Hill and Thea Foss (yes, matriarch of the Foss Maritime empire) left an indelible mark on history and the landscape. Oh yeah, she’s also honed about a dozen different accents to give each character, and an audience, even that much more of an authentic touch. It requires a good deal of homework, said Haas, who pores over diaries, letters and history books to zero in on the essence of each character. “I read as much as I can so I can get into their head,” she said. “If I’m going to portray these women, I think I owe it to them. Then I have to figure out the ‘voice’.” Come Saturday, Haas will give voice to six different female personas and one “composite” character as part of a living history presentation at San Juan Island Library entitled, “I’m Always on the Women’s Side -- Vignettes of the Civil War.” The title comes from the words of Mary Boykin Chesnut, whose diary entries and letters were heavily featured in the groundbreaking and award-winning documentary about the civil war by Ken Burns.

Stage Left heads to Wold Road stage, with ‘Taming of the Shrew’ in tow page 13

The presentation is part of San Juan Island National Historical Park’s ongoing summer program, “Connections: The Far West and Civil War”, which explores relationships between the American Civil War, the San Juan Islands and the Pacific Northwest. Thanks to a grant from the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, the presentation is free. It begins at 7 p.m. Born and raised in Chicago, Haas, 55, said that she’s always been fond of history and, perhaps equally important, had a love for storytelling as well, thanks in large part to her father. “It’s always been part of me,” she said. “My dad told these ‘Shaggy Dog’ stories that could stretch out for over two or three days.” She graduated from Drake University with a degree in music education, gravitated out west, and now lives in Tacoma with her husband, Patrick. Having participated in 14 of the 15 annual Encampments at English Camp, the couple are at home on San Juan Island. In fact, the two were named “Park Volunteers of the Year” by San Juan Island National Historical Park in 2012. In times of war, history books often focus on battles, combatants and the outcome of military campaigns. The effect that war may have on a city, a community or on the home front, and on women who are left behind to fend for themselves, can be overlooked. Through her living history programs, Haas strives to ensure that women’s voices, and their stories, such as those of Chestnut, Kate Cummings and Cornelia Peake McDonald, are heard. “We’re all a product of our past,” she said. “If we don’t understand the past, how can we know who we are.”

Former Journal columnist Jill Urbach’s debut novel, a romantic comedy entitled “Two-Room Flat”, has been published by Astraea Press. A finalist in the Pacific Northwest Writers Association Literary Contest, Two-Room Flat traces the travails and successes of a widowed author who flees to London to restart her career. Urbach, perhaps best known as a gifted singer (One More Time Band) and actress (playing the part of Maria in the Community Theatre’s recent production of “The Sound of Music”) said her stint as a columnist had a direct influence on bringing her story to the page. “My main character, Claire, writes a blog that is interspersed among the chapters,” she said. “I had such fun writing my humor column for the Journal that I used the same tone for Claire’s blog. My publisher loved the concept.” Contributed photo Available as an eBook from astraeapress.com San Juan Island author Jill Urbach and amazon.com, Two-Room Flat is expected to be published in traditional paperback form in the coming months.

Every dog has its day. But your’s could have its own month. Same goes for your parakeet, iguana or cat, too. Friday Harbor Animal Protection Society is seeking photos of island pets for a “San Juan Island Pets” 2014 calendar, the first step of a prospective fundraiser to benefit the animal shelter. Photos will be judged in part on “island flair” and what they say about islandlife for pets. Consider holiday photos and those that reflect a certain season of the year. Each suitable photo submitted not chosen to represent a month of the year will be included on a separate page at the back of the calendar — so every pet is a winner. Entry forms and digital images can be submitted online, www.apsfh.org, or in person at the animal shelter, noon to 4 p.m., Tues-Sun, 111 Shelter Rd. Fee is $10 per entry, to offset printing costs.

NOTIFICATION OF INTENT TO OBTAIN CUSTODY. Per RCW 79.100, San Juan County intends to take custody of the two derelict vessels; an 8’ blue dinghy in Deer Harbor, with no registration or WN # on August 16th, 2013 and a 32’ gray wooden Etchel racing sloop with no WN# or registration named ‘Mickey’ in Friday Harbor. The vessels are being left at their moorages in San Juan County. The vessels are abandoned and in poor condition, as well as moored illegally. The vessel ‘Mickey’ has DNR buoy numbers that DNR denies having issued. After taking custody, San Juan County may use or dispose of these vessels without further notice. Owners of these vessels are unknown. To retain custody of either of these vessels before the Custody Date, the owner must: 1) contact the coordinator below, and either 2) repair the vessel and legally moor it, or 3) remove the vessel from the water. To redeem either 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 submitted immediately but cannot be filed any later than the tenth day after the date of custo-

dy, which will be January 28, 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.

1. The ONE place not to be is in the path of whales. Don’t position your vessel in the path of oncoming whales within 400 yards of a whale 2. Stay at least TWO hundred yards away from any killer whale (200 yards = the distance of two football fields or about 200 meters). 3. Remember these THREE ways to Be Whale Wise: follow the guidlines for viewing all wildlifte, check for local protected areas and restrictions, and always be safe. WHO do the new rules apply to? All motorized and non motorized vessels (including kayaks), with exceptions to maintain safe navigation and for certain types of vessels in the course of official duties, ships in the shipping lanes, research vessels under permit, and vessels lawfully engaged in commercial or treaty Indian fishing that are actively setting, retrieving, or closely tending fishing gear. WHAT do the new rules say? Except for specific exceptions, it is unlawful for any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to: I. Cause a vessel to approach, in any manner within 200 yards (182.9 m) of any killer whale. II. Position a vessel to be in the path of any killer whale at any point located within 400 yards (365.8 m) of the whale.

WHY did NOAA adopt new regulations? Southern Resident killer whales were listed as endangered in 2005. Vessel impacts were identified as one of the threats. These new regulations implement an action in the recovery plan and are designed to protect all killer whales by reducing impacts from vessels.
