Menjivar falls in council race
Ghatan, Shildneck square off in November

A member of the Southern resident killer whales, designated as endangered under federal law in 2005, breaches the surface of Haro Strait, off the west side of San Juan Island.
Pot of money for patrols Feds, state pony up $1.2M to enforce killer whale rules Journal staff report
A combination of federal and state money, more than $1.2 million in all, will be used to boost enforcement of rules meant to better protect the struggling Southern resident killer whales of Puget Sound and the Salish Sea. Federal officials authorized spending roughly $900,000 on enforcement in response to a grant application by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, according to
U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Everett, who in June sent a letter in support of the funding request to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. “Southern Resident Killer Whales are an inseparable part of the Puget Sound’s cultural, economic and ecological makeup,” Larsen noted in a press release. “This grant will put a cop on the beat to protect these endangered whales as they continue their recovery.” In addition to $924,961 in federal funds, Washington state will augment enforcement of onthe-water rules implemented by NOAA in 2011 with $300,000 in state money. Those rules include a restrictions that prohibit vessels of all types — motor boats, sail boats and kayaks — from approaching a
killer whale closer than 200 yards or from intercepting a whale or positioning a vessel in its path. Listed as endangered under federal law in the U.S and in Canada in 2005, the population of Southern residents, which consist of three closely related clans, J, K and L pods, now totals 82 animals, according to the most recent survey by San Juan Island’s Center for Whale Research. The population, which most recently peaked at 99 in 1995, plummeted to 79 over the next six years, and has hovered in the mid-80s during its tenure on the U.S. Endangered Species Act. The pool of state and federal funds will be used in part to hire an enforcement officer to See Patrols, Page 3
It’s one and done for Friday Harbor Town Councilman Felix Menjivar. Nearing the end of his first term in office, Menjivar, elected to the council with 73 percent of the vote in 2009, finished a distant third, with 18 percent, in the Aug. 6 three-way town council primary. While the San Juan County Sheriff ’s deputy’s name won’t be on the November general election ballot, the top two votegetters, first-time council candidates Farhad Ghatan and Matt Shildneck, will. Friday Harbor voters registered a big yawn instead of voting in the Town Council Position 4 primary, the only race on the Aug. 6 ballot. Only 33 percent of the town’s registered voters turned out, the lowest turnout on record for San Juan County. The next lowest was 42 percent for an Orcas Fire commissioner primary in 2009. Unofficial estimates put the cost of the town primary - the only item on the ballot - at about $5,000, or just over eleven dollars per vote. Ghatan was the top vote-getter

with 211 votes, representing 47.5 percent of the votes. Shildneck garnered 153 votes or 34.5 percent, while Menjivar took 80 votes. None of the three candidates did much campaigning, but Ghatan See Race, Page 4

Feds map out rockfish protection areas Would-be protection zones cover 1,700 square miles of Puget Sound Most shorelines in the San Juan Islands are proposed to be included in a 1,700 square mile Puget Sound rockfish protection zone proposed by the National Marine Fisheries Service on Aug. 6. The NMFS proposal designates 1,184 square miles for canary rockfish and bocaccio protection, and 574 square miles to protect yellow-eyed rockfish. In 2010, NMFS listed the Puget Sound/Georgia basin populations of yelloweye rockfish and canary rockfish as threatened, and bocaccio rockfish as endangered, under the Endangered Species Act. Those listings required the NMFS to designate critical habitat for the affected species and to research and develop plans for recovery. Research has shown that species with protected critical habitat are twice as likely to be recovering as species without. In a press release announcing the NMFS listing, the Center for Biological Diversity notes rockfish populations are badly depleted by decades of overfishing. “Rockfish are an ancient and important part of the Puget Sound ecosystem,” said Catherine Kilduff, staff attorney at the Center, which filed a notice of intent to sue over the overdue critical habitat designation in July. “Protecting their habitat means that Puget Sound will be better for rockfish and lots of other wildlife that depend on near-shore waters and kelp forests,” The government analysis is the first study to identify important rockfish habitat in Puget Sound. The marine waters in the proposal include near-shore kelp forests that are essential to rearing juveniles and adjacent deeper waters

While rockfish live from Baja California to Alaska, the currents in Puget Sound prevent dispersal, making Puget Sound populations distinct and significant. The NMFS, a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, is soliciting comments on its proposal.

Both candidates are well-known to many townspeople and have similar local histories, Ghatan as a musician, small businessman and active volunteer, Shildneck as an electrician, small businessman and community volunteer. Both say their motivation is not the salary, set at $400 per month and $50 per meeting. Doris Schaller, the county’s elections administrator, expects the November turnout to approach the 60-percent mark of previous “off-year” elections, but is making no predictions. Two ballot issues - the second annual Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District levy and an amendment to the county charter permitting an initiative to change county council district boundaries - may provide a turnout boost.

There are 36 local elections on the ballot, but only 11 races have more than one candidate. Two of the unopposed candidates are Friday Harbor Mayor Carrie Lacher, seeking re-election, and Anna Maria de Freitas, running for a second term on the town council. Three contested races have attracted voter attention. Two long-time port commissioners, Mike Ahrenius of the Port of Friday Harbor and Dan Post of the Port of Lopez, face opposition for the first time in three elections. Antique store owner Dan Miller is running against Ahrenius; former 12-year port commissioner Bob Porter is taking on Post. An open seat on the San Juan County Hospital Commission has attracted former San Juan County Councilman Howie Rosenfeld and Island Air pilot Mark Schwinge.

He was also ordered to pay $600 in fines and fees; restitution has yet to be determined. Roadruck recently filed an appeal at the state Court of Appeals seeking to overturn the jury verdict. Roadruck’s conviction stems from a rash of burglaries in Lopez Island’s Bakerview Road neighborhood during a three-month period beginning in April. At that time, he was out on conditional release pending trial on a misdemeanor charge for allegedly stealing meat and cash from Horse Drawn Farm. He was arrested on the theft charge in May.

shed and a secured campsite between April and late June. DNA tests on two cigarette butts found beneath a riding lawn mower in the storage shed on Bakeview Road tied him to that break-in and theft, and detectives found several items connected to other burglaries near his home.
The man's two young daughters were asleep in the living room, near where the fight broke out, at the time, according to court documents. His wife, who quickly came to his aid, became involved in the altercation as well. During the struggle, the husband and wife fended off the assault and unmasked the assailants, who then fled the apartment. The four combatants reportedly know one another and the two alleged burglars were identified by name by the couple following the break-in and attack. Authorities arrested both Webster and Speed the following day. — Scott Rasmussen

Opinion Letters to the Editor
Bold opposition deserves support
The Lummi’s July 30, 2013 letter to the Army Corps of Engineers “unconditionally and unequivocally” opposing the Gateway Pacific Terminal project is significant and laudable. The tribal opposition to the plan to export 50 million tons of coal from Cherry Point could potentially stop the project by invoking their treaty rights. Because Cherry Point is within the Lummi’s Usual and Accustomed grounds and traditional areas, the tribe has a strong legal case against the project due to its likely interference with treaty guaranteed fishing rights. This legal case is separate from the Environmental Impact Statement process. Though independent of each other, the two processes may impact one another. A Corps official stated at a recent press conference that the Lummi position might influence the agency to stop processing the GPT permit. Historically, the Corps has refused to process permits on other projects that tribes said would violate treaties. The Lummi signed the Treaty of Point Elliot in 1855 to trade vast amounts of land in exchange for sovereignty and protection of fishing rights. Treaty fishing rights were reaffirmed by the 1974 “Boldt decision”. It is a common misperception that treaty rights are given to native people. Actually, the US government does not “give” treaty rights to anyone — native people reserved them when
Publisher Roxanne Angel, ext. 1050 publisher@sanjuanjournal.com Office Manager Frances Bacon, ext. 1550 fbacon@sanjuanjournal.com Circulation Manager Nicole Matisse Duke, 376-4500 circulation@sanjuanjournal.com
they signed treaties in a government-to-government relationship. The Lummi’s firm stance not only protects their fishing rights and economic benefits, but also ours. Their letter and action demonstrated their efforts to preserve their Schelangen, “way of life”, in which “everything is connected,” as are all the plant and animal lives, including ours, in the Salish Sea. It is with great humility and gratitude that I applaud their leadership and stewardship in defending the seventh generation of their people and ours against potential global harm by GPT coal exportation. With the Lummi’s courageous lead, it is our turn to do our part.

It has been heartwarming to see so many families and individuals turn out this summer for the activities offered by the San Juan Islands Museum of Art (IMA) at our new and permanent museum site on Spring Street (soon to be greatly upgraded). Furthermore, IMA also helps provide arts education throughout the school year for K-12 students in the San Juan Island School District through a special program, supported by community grants. IMA is especially grate-

ful to the San Juan Island Community Foundation for highlighting this important program at its booth at the San Juan County Fair. During the fair, donations to the Community Foundation ear-marked for IMA will be matched 50 percent by the Foundation up to $1,000. All of these donations will be used to assure that local students have the opportunity to experience first- hand the arts in many media as an integral part of their education. We urge the community to take advantage of this limited time opportunity to strengthen support for this arts program which may inspire our children to a lifetime of appreciation and exploration.

More than just a ferry ride home
Did you see them? They have little pinkish throat sacs on long, narrow necks. The long beak strains upward—begging, begging. The baby cormorants engage in a fascinating food dance—an exhibition you may have noticed while onboard the ferry at the Anacortes terminal. You’ve noticed the black, long necked cormorants standing guard over the nests, or scouting for fish. Many also sit in the cramped, muddy—and very smelly— nests where one, two or three babies relentlessly beg for food. These little ones work hard to get fed. This is a joint effort. Besides the energetic nodding upwards without ceasing they must convince

mom or dad to open their mouths. They do it this way: they rub their beak along the parent’s beak continuously looking for a way inside. Mom or dad also continuously move the target beak. It’s almost like two swords trying to find each other’s point. No wonder they have such long necks. Every bird in the cramped space seems to be moving all the time, so it’s not an easy task. If an adult opens wide—very, very wide—the baby places his beak and head all the way inside the adult’s throat and gulps the needed nourishment, it’s small pink throat sac vibrating with the intake. This complicated process plays out all day long. Some nests appear to have only one chick while I saw a nest with three chicks and one adult attempting to divide the food—evenly? The older chicks are darker colored while the younger nestlings are covered with gray down. The stash of fish inside

the cormorant has been mined by humans for over a thousand years. In Japan, “Fishing Masters” on the Nagara River continue an important tradition, using cormorants to catch fish. People come from all over the world to watch this event. The masters place a ring around the cormorants neck leaving enough space to swallow small fish, but creating a bottleneck for the larger catch. When the cormorants return from fishing, the keepers remove the larger fish to feed their own children.

hen an incumbent gets ousted, and in a primary no less, it might suggest dissatisfaction among voters with the state of the union. Not this time Given that only 33 percent of Friday Harbor’s 1,361 registered voters cast a ballot in the Aug. 6 town council three-way primary race—a new low for voter turnout in any local election, in recent memory—the defeat of incumbent Felix Menjivar, while perhaps telling for an individual candidate, may suggest something else, something of greater concern. Apathy. Sure, it’s summer. Everyone is busy, and there’s a November election still to come. But when ballots arrive in the mail, how hard can it be to mark one box and send it back in? We’ll also note that the mayor and a second member of the council are unopposed in their respective reelection bids. So, coupled with a record-low turnout is a seeming lack of interest in public office. That does not bode well for the town. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the voter turnout for the August primary proves to be an anomaly, rather than a trend.

hy does United Way of San Juan County fund San Juan Island Conservation Corps? Our local United Way’s focus is to help meet vital needs in San Juan County, and one of the most important issues facing children and youth is how to avoid risky behaviors and find positive role models and growth experiences. San Juan Island Conservation Corps offers exciting learning experiences in land and marine stewardship to young people in grades 7-9. Results are evident: first, as visible improvements such as feet of trail built, square footage of invasive species removed, etc. Second and most importantly, results are seen through the positive experiences of the youth crew. Jessie Pachuta, 13, wrote in the crew journal: “My favorite part of the job was doing the beach clean-up because I felt that we were helping the animals the most.” She expanded her sentiments for a Roots & Shoots report, a program started by Jane Goodall to showcase young people positively impacting their community. “In the summer of 2012, I volunteered to be in the San Juan Conservation Corps with 13 other students my age. Some of the projects we worked on and finished were clearing hiking trails, building retaining walls, clearing blackberry bushes, building wooden bird-boxes, pulling out thistles, and doing beach clean-ups. These projects were very fun and helped bring us together as a group. Being involved with the SJICC was an amazing experience for all of us. It gave us the chance to work together as a group and get along together in a way that didn’t exclude anyone. It helped all of us to get along better and become closer with people that we didn’t really know before or had talked to that much in school. We relied on our group to help each other finish jobs that only a group could have managed to do quickly. We all

felt good about the job we had done after we finished the projects, and we felt like we had actually made a difference in our community. Since this was the first year of SJICC, we had to set the standards for the future groups that would hopefully follow in our paths. I feel like we set a good example that future people would be willing to follow. I hope that SJICC continues on for a very long time, and that kids continue to volunteer to help out their community.” Programs like SJICC need and deserve our support. United Way of San Juan County funds 10 after school and summer activity programs on Lopez, Orcas and San Juan islands. Through donations from people in the community, these programs provide a safe, educational, fun place to be for over 1,250 children every year. And every little bit of support makes a huge difference to these small programs; 98 percent of donated funds stay local.

Friday Harbor football fans, mark your calendars. The 2013 season will usher in the 40th anniversary of the Friday Harbor High School football program, and plans are well under way for a grand celebration in conjunction with the Wolverines home opener on Sept. 6. Friday Harbor will host the Seahawks of Anacortes in the first game of the 2013 season. Forty years ago, it was the Concrete Lions that running back Craig Blakeway and company matched up against in the first-ever Wolverine gridiron contest. A reunion honoring all 40 teams, including the ground-breaking 1973 squad, is part of the plan. The list of activities, celebrations, festivities and specially assembled memorabilia is long, and, in some cases, unprecedented. Like a commemorative DVD, featuring scenes from the ‘73 game and the entire 2013 home opener. Prepared by local videographer Gerard Woldtvedt, the DVD will also include highlights and commentary from many of the players on the Wolverines very first team, sharing stories about Friday Harbor football “back in the day”. (Reels of 16mm film of the many of the very first games, donated by the Tarte family, will be converted into digital as part of the project.) But that’s not all, not by a long shot. Former players will be escorted onto the field, by decade, for recognition and a group photo. And at halftime, Friday Harbor will unveil for the first time a Wolverine Football Hall of Fame, highlighted by an induction ceremony for the 15 former players who have been selected from the past four decades. Who will they be? The game program is sure to be a collector’s
item as well. Printed in full color, its front cover will feature the ‘73 team and roster, and the 2013 team, along with roster, will be featured on the back cover. In between will be 30 pages with each team — ‘74 thru 2012 — and a centerfold, in color, highlighting the Hall of Fame inductees. And there’s more. The Purple & Gold booster club will be grilling hamburgers and hotdogs, admission tickets will be designed as keepsakes, and the pre-game “fan tunnel”, which the 2013 team will run through on its way to the field, will consist of former players representing forty years of Wolverine football. The evening program begins at 5 p.m., two hours prior to kick off. Don’t be late. For more information or to volunteer, contact Jenny Ledford, 370-5314.

Around Town IAL features art raffle at the Fair
a raffle ticket for any desired piece. Raffle proceeds are awarded in the form to scholarship for qualifying students who will continue the study of art after high school. Winners will be drawn Saturday, the final day of the fair, at 4:30 p.m. Look for the Island Arts League banner inside the main exhibit hall.
more will be explored when author, historian and internet pioneer Bruce Brown presents a collection of Indian oral histories of the infamous Battle of the Little Bighorn in the final episode of the National Parks Service summer lecture series, “Connections: The Far West and the Civil War”, Saturday, Aug. 17, at San Juan Island Library. Brown’s presentation, entitled “Conversations with Crazy Horse,” begins at 7 p.m. It features Native American accounts of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, compiled while working on a fictional story of Crazy Horse. Brown turned those accounts, and others, into a searchable database, “One Hundred Voices”, of testi-
m o n y of both Native American and white settlers about the epic battle. That online Bruce Brown database, Astonisher.com, hosts the largest body of research on the Little Bighorn, according to Brown. The summer lecture series explores the relationships between the American Civil War, the San Juan Islands and Pacific Northwest. For more information, contact NPS, 378-2240, ext. 223, or the library, 3782798.
There’s plenty of reasons to go to the fair, and the Island Art League’s raffle drawing is a darn good one. Fairgoers can pursue various works of art created by League members, on display at the IAL exhibit, and enter a chance to take one or more home at a fraction of their value by purchasing

I
n the previous article in the Whale Pages, we presented the fact that the whales we call Killer or Orca represent a complex of many distinct populations that may prove to qualify as species; and, here we present the fact that these distinct populations specialize or “like to eat” particular prey species. All of the populations of so-called Killer whales are predatory animals currently assigned to one species (Orcinus orca, Linnaeus, 1758), and they must eat to survive; but, the preferred prey species for each population varies according to what is locally abundant and available in the marine ecosystem within swimming range. The classic studies regarding what “Killer” whales like to eat came from examination of stomach contents of these whales that were stranded in various locations around the world, or taken by whalers. The food items were fish, squid, seals, porpoises, other whales, etc. that led to the early conclusion that Orcinus orca was euryphagous, that is they fed upon a wide variety of prey and could switch diet if a particular variety became scarce. More comprehensive recent studies, including those done by the Center for Whale Research, indicate that each branch of the Orca family tree tends to strongly lean toward a prey species that is locally available and sufficiently abundant year-round for a very long time (many whale lifetimes). This tendency is termed stenophagy – a narrow variety of prey species; and, over the evolutionary time scales available from thousands of whale lifetimes it has resulted in very distinct differences in the anatomy and morphology of the various whale populations. ransient Orcinus orca whales may indeed be properly called “killers” (at least by the seals, sea lions and porpoises they consume), and they have very robust jaw structure with relatively big teeth (the better to bite you with, my dear). Their lifestyle is rather nomadic, as they travel with the seasonal migrations and/or the seasonal birthing and weaning cycles of their prey species. These mammal predator whales typically venture into the waters around the San Juan Islands in autumn and winter months when harbor seals are weaned (and unsuspecting), and when sea lions overwinter in the Salish Sea. Typically the “transients” travel in relatively small groups of 3-15 relatives and associates, and they are usually stealthy (non-vocal, so the prey species cannot hear them). This year (2013) we have witnessed an unprecedented influx of “transients” around the San Juan Islands, some coming from as far as California and Alaska. There are about 250 “transient” killer whales in the Center for Whale Research catalogue for this area.

PO Box 4001 • Roche Harbor, WA roche@rocheharbor.com • www.rocheharbor.com
esident Orcinus orca whales may be properly called “Orca”, a term that is more fitting with the image of a peaceful non-stress-inducing population of mellow fish-eating predators with less robust jaw architecture and smaller teeth than “transient” killer whales. The “resident” lifestyle is adapted to the migrations and seasonal abundance of salmon in the eastern North Pacific Ocean. The salmon most available year-round within the “resident” swimming range are Chinook, or Kings, which happen to be the largest and most nutritious species of salmon in the world (formerly weighing up to 125 pounds each!). Chinook lifestyle, in turn, is predatory upon smaller fishes that are in greatest abundance on the continental shelf of the Pacific Ocean near the edge of upwelling currents. Chinook salmon have been taken in Human fisheries by the millions each year for the past century, and most wild populations of these fish are now “Endangered” with many already extinct. The “resident” Orca whales typically venture into the waters around the San Juan Islands in pod and multi-pod associations (Superpods) from May to September when the mature Chinook salmon are bound primarily for the Fraser River for spawning, though a few migrate to other river systems in the Salish Sea. Thus, we have an Endangered whale species obligate feeding upon an Endangered salmon species – a revolting development unforeseen by dam builders, habitat usurpers, and fishermen. As of 2013, there are currently 82 southern “resident” Orca whales in this population, down from nearly 100 twenty years ago, and down from more than 200 that we have catalogued. We have demonstrated that the “resident” Orca survival is significantly linked to Chinook abundance, and the government managers on both sides of the US/Canada border should take more notice of this inconvenient truth before it is too late. This year (2013) during the summer when whale-watching is historically best, we have witnessed an unprecedented absence of “residents” around the San Juan Islands, and a continuing downtrend in their population number concurrent with a near collapse of Fraser River Chinook.

The Center for Whale Research maintains a detailed photographic catalog of the Southern Resident Killer whales dating back to the early 1970’s. The Center also documents the whales’ social structure, regional travel patterns, and foraging strategies throughout coastal waters from British Columbia to California.
