Downriggers destroyed by fire Workers, businesses displaced in wake of pre-dawn inferno By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

The collapsed roof was expected to be peeled back from the wreckage by Tuesday, allowing fire investigators to begin sifting through fire-ravaged Downriggers Restaurant in search of clues. San Juan Island Fire Department Chief Steve Marler has a strong suspicion where the answer might be found to the cause of the blaze that destroyed the long-standing waterfront restaurant in the early hours of Aug. 17. “My guess is we’ll be focusing in on the kitchen,” Marler said. “Our initial attack crews say that’s where the fire appeared to be focused in the early stages.” Flames quickly grabbed hold of the ceiling shortly after the first wave of fire fighters arrived at the scene, at about 2:40 a.m. They were forced to evacuate the building only minutes later, as the fire spread rapidly across the ceiling from one end of the building to the other, posing a risk of collapse. Over the next three hours, the inferno devoured the interior of the restaurant while firefighters prevented it from reaching offices of three other business headquartered on the bottom floor. Firefighters were still hosing down numerous hotspots and outbreaks of fire in the ceiling of the splitlevel Front Street building nearly five hours after the blaze was first reported. Firefighters from Orcas and Lopez islands, and later from Anacortes, arrived in Friday Harbor to provide backup and support in battling the blaze. For now, the cause of the fire

Term limits ‘toll’ for MRC By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

A newly established policy that ushered in term limits to San Juan County’s numerous advisory committees could lead to a major overhaul of the MRC. Eight positions on the Marine Resources Committee will be appointed by the County Council in the coming weeks and a new MRC coordinator will soon be announced. On July 30, Philip Green, Robin Hirsch and Chuck Schietinger were appointed to MRC positions 2, 1 and 4, respectively. The See Toll, Page 4 Above, smoke billows from the ceiling and roof of Downriggers Restaurant hours after the long-standing waterfront restaurant and upper level of the Port of Friday Harbor building was destroyed by a pre-dawn blaze, Saturday, Aug. 17.

remains a matter of speculation. But the reality is that it left a summertime crew of roughly 50 Downriggers employees, along with restaurant owner Debbie Rishel, owner of the restaurant for more than 20 years, without jobs, as well as displacing Friday Harbor

Marine, San Juan Excursions and San Juan Safaris from their home base. Makeshift accommodations were made Saturday by the Town of Friday Harbor and the Port of Friday Harbor, owner of firecharred building, so that three

ground-floor businesses could continue operating over the weekend. Town officials allowed the two whale watch companies to set up along the sidewalk near Memorial Park as a base of operations, despite town regulations. See Fire, Page 4

Mike’s Cafe—it’s about the wine By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

At Mike’s Cafe and Wine Bar, just opened at 135 2nd St. S, the vegan food is great, but it’s the wine you will want to taste and the bar (and the rest of the decor) that you’ll want to experience. Mike’s features Mike Sheradin’s Northwest Totem Cellars wines and a 25-foot, $10,000 maple-slab handmade bar, both of which Mike says “will hold your interest.” The wine bar features six reds and four whites, mostly of his own brand, but also includes Piccola Cellars tap wines and Island Hoppin’ draft beer and six bottled craft beers. Mike has been vinting fine wines, and garnering prizes and local recognition in Woodinville, for eight years. His recently released Cabernet Sauvignon was a double gold medal winner at the 2013 Seattle Wine Awards. With the help of a few friends and Cheryl Jones, his wine consultant, he personally tends to every stage of smallbatch, handcrafted winemaking, producing about 2,000 bottles from five premium Eastern Washington grape growers a year. A swimming and water polo player and coach for some 25 years, Sheradin has been vacationing in the San Juan Islands for 30 years, finally deciding to open his showcase cafe in a totally remodeled building and former home of the Garden Path Cafe. For his inexpensive but varied vegan menu, he enlisted the help of Anna Maria de Freitas and the Tucker House cooking crew, and he obtains “almost all” ingredients locally.

She loved the scenery. She hated the hill. And what Meghan Jordan hated even more than that last hill in Saturday’s Friday Harbor Loop Run, her first ever, was coming across the finish line well behind her sister. “The worst part?” Jordan replied. “The hill at the end and losing to my sister” She was not alone. In fact, every female runner, or walker, who conquered the 8.8K course (5.4 miles), 44 in all, finished well behind Laura Newcomb — for the second year in a row. Newcomb, a New Jersey native, crossed the finish line in 37 minutes, flat. Out of a field of 214 entries, the 24-year-old U. of W. grad student, at Friday Harbor Labs about six months out of the year to do research, finished sixth overall, about a full minute faster than her first-place finish in the women’s division a year ago, her Loop debut. Worst part of the run? Newcomb can’t think of one. “It’s so much fun I brought my sister,” she chuckled. Jordan’s husband Chris, stationed at Whidbey Island Naval Station, also made his debut at the 36th annual Friday Harbor 8.8K Loop Run.

Above; mad dash from the starting line; right, top female finisher Laura Newcomb nears the finish line.

Like the 27-year-old Whidbey couple, Patrick Kelly is no fan of heartache hill, even though, with four loop runs now to his credit, he knows what lies ahead. Still, hill or no hill, the 44-yearold Vancouver, Wash. resident catapulted across the finish line in 34:36 to finish first overall in the Aug. 17 event. Kelly, who finished a tick or two behind the top three the last three years, credits the absence of swift runners in this year’s run — not his speed — for a first-ever first place award. “I think actually I was a little slower this time than last year,” he admits. Best part about the Loop Run? “It’s just such a beautiful place. You get to see the water a lot,” said Kelly, who visits friends in the San Juans as often as possible in summer time. “You get to see all these great places and the people here are so nice. It’s wonderful.”

A week later, Councilman Rick Hughes gave the required notice of reconsideration of the July 30 appointments. The following day, citing “discomfort” with procedures and lack of familiarity with the candidates, Hughes moved for reconsideration. Hughes and Jarman voted to reconsider the Green, Hirsch and Schietinger appointments and scheduled another vote for Aug. 20 at the council meeting on Shaw Island. “I just wanted to take the time to do my homework to make sure that we were getting the appropriate balance on the committee,” he said. “The council has made major changes in the appointment process for all the advisory committees and the MRC is one of the most important, so I just wanted to take the extra time to do it right.” The local MRC, the first in the nation created under the Northwest Straits Initiative and one of seven local MRCs working under the aegis of, and with funding provided by, the Northwest Straits Commission, consists of 15 San Juan County residents chosen to bring a diversity of scientists, conservationists, sports and commercial fishermen and water-intensive business interests together to plan and administer a variety of programs and projects to restore the northern Puget Sound to ecological health.

Anderson second place overall. Like Anderson, 11-yearold Tyler Davis, with football and a host of summer activities to tend to, hadn’t done as much road work as he would have preferred. But he had enough in the tank to take second place in the 10-14 age category, at 46:49, trailing first place finisher Jeremy Anderson, 38:19, by eight-plus minutes. “I guess its a good time for me,” Tyler said. Best part? “The end, that’s when I get a burst of speed,” he said. Maeve Keller, age 7, completed the 5.4-mile course

in 1:14:25, the swiftest time in her age bracket, under 10; Sarah Griffiths, the only other entry in that bracket, crossed the finished line in an elegant sounding time of 1:40:59. Friday Harbor’s Irina Bell took second place in the women’s division, at 40:22. Friday Harbor swept the 45-59 categories, with Ross Lockwood (45-49), Paul Hopkins (50-55), and Clark Gilbert (56-59) each finishing first in their respective age brackets. The only participant in the 75-and-over bracket, Friday Harbor road warrior Robert Warren, at age 81, crossed the finish in line in 1:04:04. For complete results, visit www.islandrec.org.

because he had proposed the appointments on July 30, an abbreviated process necessary to assure that the MRC meeting scheduled for Aug. 7 would have a quorum to choose a new MRC chairperson. To that end, on July 30, Stephens also suggested that current committee members Tina Whitman, Jim Slocumb and Mike Durland be reappointed to new terms, but acceded to a request by Hughes that the reappointments be for 30 days, pending receipt of applications from new potential members. Five other residents - Ed Kilduff of Lopez Island, Laura Severson of San Juan, Margaret Manning of Orcas, Thomas Temple of Crane, and John Geniuch of San Juan - have applied. Under new appointment procedures for advisory committees, instituted in early spring by the former 6-person council, Whitman, Slocumb and Durland, having served more than two terms on the MRC, were term-limited unless no other qualified prospective appointees applied. On Aug. 6, after all appointments were reconsidered, the terms of Whitman, Slocumb and Durland were again extended until Aug. 30, again to assure that the MRC meetings would have a quorum. However, a quorum was not present at the MRC’s Aug. 7 meeting and Aug. 21 MRC meeting has been cancelled. Barbara Marrett, a Port of Friday Harbor commissioner, was reappointed July 30 to a four-year term.

Back-to-back ferry fare hike in store The cost to ride the state ferry system will rise by 2 percent for passengers and 3 percent for vehicles beginning Oct. 1. On July 30, the Washington State Transportation Commission approved a double dose of across-the-board ferry fare increases to meet a new revenue target set by the state legislature as part of the 2013-15 state transportation budget. The October uptick will be followed by a similar increase — 2 percent for passengers and 2.5 percent for vehicles — starting May 1. The boost in fares is intended to cover an increase in Washington State Ferries’ operating revenue enacted by the legislature in the latest two-year state transportation budget. The targeted increase in fare revenue — $328 million — represents a 6-percent hike over the previous two-year fare-box revenue forecast. The increase applies to all ferry fares, but it will be offset by reductions in some categories. Vehicles less than 14 feet in length will pay 70 percent of the standard auto fare (14 to less than 22 feet) and the discounted rate for youth fares, currently at 20 percent, will rise to 50 percent off the standard fare. The increase for the international run — Anacortes to

Sheriff’s Log San Juan County Sheriff ’s Department reported responding to these calls: July 15: A Shaw Island woman claims that a dog chased her 30-year-old horse to death. The horse, which reportedly collapsed after its flight, was euthanized two days after the alleged attack; however, there are no witnesses to the presumed fatal encounter. July 21: An early evening altercation on the streets of Eastsound prompted the arrest of a 24-year-old Orcas Island man on charges of assault, vandalism and vehicle prowl. The 24-year-old allegedly struck a woman he’d been dating for eight months in an altercation near Madrona Point at about 6:30 p.m., and also slashed three tires on the vehicle of a man, unidentified in the incident report, at the scene. n An early morning traffic stop led to the arrest of an Orcas Island woman on charges of domestic violence assault. The 36-year-old, accompanied by a 28-year-old male passenger at the time, was pulled in the 100 block of Crescent Beach Road at about 6:30 a.m. She is identified as the primary aggres-

sor of an alleged assault, details of which were not describe in the incident report. July 23: A San Juan Island teen faces possible DUI charges following a latenight rollover crash near an alpaca ranch on West Valley Road. The 18-year-old, who claims to have lost control of his SUV while swerving to miss a deer, suffered non-life threatening injuries when his vehicle rolled several times before crashing through a fence and coming to a stop in an alpaca pasture at about midnight. A passerby drove the man to a the medical center for treatment, where blood samples were drawn for investigation of the crash. July 27: A San Juan Island man claims the driver of a Dodge Durango threatened him with a knife during a confrontation over an exitonly sign at a Friday Harbor home remodel center.

Many are showing off ribbons won for their paintings, jams, livestock, and vegetables. Grangers in San Juan County know that glow very well. Friday Harbor and San Juan Island granges resurrected a long-held Grange tradition this spring by mounting an Arts Fair at the Grange Hall. Consider this a “practice run” for the county fair. This year’s local San Juan Island contest boasted over 100 entries, from wood working to painting, to food preservation and more. We invite all of you to gear up for the county fair next year by entering the spring Grange Arts Fair. The contest is open to any resident. Categories cover anything you can make and there are separate categories for youth. Entries are judged, similar to fair, and the winners in each class go on to the contest at the State Grange Convention.

You could take home a Best in Class ribbon from the State Grange, as several islanders did this year. The Grange boasts a 146-year history of civic, social and economic engagement for rural families, including the establishment of county fairs across the country. Many are still called Grange Fairs. The first granges in Washington predate statehood, including Waitsburg Grange No. 1, formed in 1873 and still active. There are currently two active granges on San Juan Island, one on Orcas, and one on Lopez. The first San Juan County Fair was held in 1906 in a warehouse on the waterfront in Friday Harbor during the first week of October. Agriculture was flourishing in the islands, and farmers and county residents alike were proud to show off the “splendid products of the soil,” the thenIslander newspaper reported. The event drew a crowd of over 1,200 residents and included visitors from Bellingham and Anacortes, who came by steamer. On display were prolific local crops: fruits, vegetables, grains, grasses, and flowers. The livestock exhibit included some of the best teams of horses driven by local farmers and ranchers, as well as cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, and chickens. Aside from “ordinary products of our fertile farms and fruit-

ful orchards,” the paper reported that Orcas Islander P. Bostian exhibited tobacco, a crop he was experimenting with. Other farmers were trying out walnuts, chestnuts, quinces and citron. Arts and crafts contests are one of the more enjoyable ways in which we carry out our Grange mission to improve the knowledge and skills of local residents, and to work together for mutual benefit.

New look for Indifference or activism? Coal calls Point now sits at ground zero Journal online Cherry in the battle against climate change

T

he website of the Journal of the San Juan Islands is getting a fresh look that will help readers get faster access to local news — and more of it. The new crisp-and-clean design makes space for more stories and photographs on the newspaper’s home page, and easier access to readers on-the-go. The home page is topped by a new navigation bar which boasts a quick-glance box for current weather conditions. Also at the top: Icons for mobile applications and social media, so readers can quickly share stories and news with others. The website will continue to use the “river of news” format — with the most current content appearing at the top of the home page. The box for “trending stories” — articles that are connecting with readers and being shared and read more often than other content — will also be repositioned on the home page; higher, for faster access for readers. Online readers should notice more news on the website’s front page. “We’re actually fitting more content on the page than before,” said Seth Long, director of digital media for Sound Publishing. Stories will also be easier to share. Underneath each story byline, readers will find options for emailing the article, printing a copy or sending a letter to the editor. At the bottom of each story page, readers will also find links to related articles and trending stories. The website update is being launched across most of Sound Publishing’s titles, though websites for paid-access newspapers will share a slightly different makeover. It’s the first update to Sound Publishing websites, which boast 2.2 million unique visitors and 11.5 million page views a month, since 2010.

By Steve Ulvi

hen the future horizon of expectations seems impossibly foreboding, unexpected events can inspire hope. Nothing is simple anymore—if it ever really was. Modern human relations with the natural world often lack any semblance of restraint and humility. We have long relied on government to enforce reasonable regulations in order to protect the public commons. But precautionary safeguards rarely stand when big money, self-serving regional politics and the illusion of permanent jobs subverts the public trust to allow corporate interest to run roughshod over the collective public interest. As an all too common example, the Department of Ecology (DOE), has hit bottom in terms of violating its affirmative legal responsibilities under the Public Trust Doctrine to protect waters and natural resources owned and relied upon by us all. DOE sticks by the absurd notion that the average consumption of local saltwater fish amounts to only a couple of pieces of sushi per month for each of us. Let’s see now… they have allowed so much water pollution that fish flesh can only be safely eaten in small quantities, then claim that sketchy “consumption data” shows we only snack on the stuff anyway, and then conclude that corporations can dump more pollutants. This is a tragic farce parading as agency oversight. But last week we learned of the unexpected decision by DOE and agency partners to listen to the hundreds of thousands of public comments castigating the proposed Cherry Point coal terminal. They will expand the scope of analysis to include unprecedented source-to-smokestack impacts on human wellbeing and the natural environment. That kind of cumulative impact scope and analytical rigor was clearly the Congressional intent in the 1969 National Environmental Policy Act, but is rarely seen. Now the sovereign Lummi Nation, as one would hope,

stands up to oppose the further destruction of the Cherry Point landscape, saltwater resources and the natural resonance of place. Climate change is not a theory but an expanding grim reality with the dots being connected by new peer-reviewed data every day. This unprecedented situation Journal file photo should deeply concern anyone who cares a whit about Steve Ulvi our post-WWII generation’s legacy, our grandkids’ lives or the all-important ecological services of the natural world. Forty years ago we felt the seismic power of peaceful civil disobedience as people of all stripes strode arm in arm to confront the unacceptable status quo; Jim Crow racism, the Vietnam quagmire and rivers that burned. Now as one would expect, deeply entrenched government and industry interests are unwilling to respond to the rising temperatures and cascading effects of greenhouse gas emissions. Citizens, once again, will have to force the necessary transformation. We are among the most fortunate people to have ever lived and to pay forward a reasonable expectation for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will require our best minds, sacrifice and collective efforts. The 1960s post-sputnik space race times ten, and a redefinition of American Exceptionalism. The Northwest is uniquely situated—geographically, socially and politically—to stop the madness and lead the U.S. in transitioning from dirty fossil fuels to new sustainable economic strategies, lasting “clean” industry jobs and protection of this incredible region by rejecting numerous mega-port developments and transportation corridors. Leaving most of the rest of our fossil fuels in the ground would be a great leap forward. — Editor’s note: Steve Ulvi retired from the National Park Service in interior Alaska in 2006. He and his first wife, Lynette are settled in on San Juan Island with a homestead near completion.

Mary Ann Rock: 1931—2013

Mary Ann Rock, an artist, illustrator, educator, and longtime resident of Friday Harbor, Wash. died Sunday, Aug. 18, 2013. Rock was born in Saint Louis, Mo. in 1931, the eldest child of educators, Clobert Broussard and Mary Jones. A graduate of Bennett College, her early adult life was spent exploring artists colonies in New York and Taos, where she developed her skills as a sculptor, block printer, and painter. In the 1960s, Rock lived in the San Francisco area, teaching arts and crafts, moving to San Juan Island in the early 1970s with her son, John. She was director of Cannery House and gallery assistant at Waterworks. She began her art company, Dream Keeper and exhibited in over 40 shows locally and in Seattle, Bellingham, Bellevue, Portland, St. Louis, and Lyon, France. Rock’s art has been used in brochures and is in the collections of several local residents. Her published work includes Dream Keeper, a book of her wood blocks and paintings. Her unusual lifestyle was memorialized in the documentary, Blink of a Life. Her

wood blocks appeared in Eclectic Letters. She considered herself a painter of the human condition stating, “I want to explore the various conditions, both physical and emotional, that we experience during a lifetime. The human condition has always interested me rather selfishly as a way to understand myself.” Her paintings are noted for their wide range of bright colors. Contributed photo Rock was an avid collector of the Mary Ann Rock work of other artists and ethnic art and enjoyed reading, skiing, rock climbing, symphonic music, and travel. In 1995, she and her sister toured Europe for six months, exploring museums and legendary cities she had read about as a young girl. Mary Ann Rock is survived by her son, John Rock, and sister, Valena Broussard Dismukes. — Family of Mary Ann Rock

T

he Journal’s fair photo montage proves once again that a little rain can’t dampen islander’s enthusiasm for the county fair—or their community. A few sprinkles on Wednesday and some actual rain Thursday didn’t do much more than settle the dust on the K9 Kings performance arena, as locals and visitors alike flocked to the fair on Friday and Saturday to eat elephant ears, view the final 4-H horse events and calculate per-pound cost of the steak-on-the-hoof at the livestock auction. Sunburns and yellow jacket were at a minimum and the joy of 4-H winners at a maximum. Even the Downriggers fire resulted in shared happiness when the Purple and Gold club members said proceeds from the long-planned steak dinner closing the fair would be dedicated to the workers who lost their jobs - and people responded with more than $2,000 in additional gifts.

“Be prepared to get scorched!” – BILLBOARD

Blues Guitarist COCO MONTOYA Saturday, August 24 8 pm • San Juan Community Theatre

The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com

Blues ‘master’ Montoya Critically acclaimed West Coast guitarist Coco Montoya cut his chops, as saying goes, with the standard 12-bar blues, and with legendary bluesman Albert Collins as mentor. He went on to be featured guitarist for John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers for a decade before venturing onto a solo career with a band of his own. But with the release of his 2010 recording, “I Want It All Back”, Montoya, a left-handed guitarist who plays the instrument upside down in the style of Jimi Hendrix and Albert King, infused his music and vocals with a healthy dose of soul. Evolution and adaptation—hallmarks of any true “master”. Contributed photo / SJCT Montoya, recipient of the 1996 W.C. Handy Award for “Best New Blues Monster guitarist Coco Montoya brings red-hot Artist”, returns for a fourth performance at San Juan Community Theatre, blues to the Community Theatre stage, Saturday. Saturday, at 8 p.m. Expect a nice slice of rhythm along with the blues.

border as critical habitat under the Species at Risk Act (SARA). It is important to note that these critical habitat designations were based upon legitimate concern for the survival of this beleaguered population of whales, but they are really just words and geographic coordinates – not food that whales need. ur “local” Orcas travel as necessary to find their preferred prey species – Chinook salmon – and we know that some of the Orca pods go as far south as Central California and as far north as Southeast Alaska in their winter search for this food. In fact, the entire eastern North Pacific continental shelf in this area is habitat for the Chinook salmon that were historically available year-round in feeder schools and river-bound migrants with overlapping schedules (spring, winter, fall, summer, and late-fall, with summer and fall runs predominating). The coastal biomass of this species was enormous, supporting a commercial troll fishery as recently as 1979 yielding a quarter of a million 1545 pound Chinook salmon each year from the Washington coast, and approximately one million similar sized Chinook from the British Columbia coast. These fish were headed to the river watersheds of Puget Sound and Georgia Strait, and the big one – the Columbia River. This latter major river system alone saw the return of five to nine million big adult Chinook salmon in the mid to late 1800’s (pre-dam construction), and returns dwindling to a much- heralded projection of 678,000 this year (wdfw.wa.gov/ news/mar0113a/). See also (www.nmfs. noaa.gov/pr/species/fish/chinooksalmon.htm, and www.npafc.org/new/ publications/Bulletin/Bulletin%20 No.%204/077-091Heard.pdf). for more information. The Fraser River “run” of Map by National Marine Fisheries Service Following the listing of the Southern Resident killer whales as Chinook salmon is in deep trouble with endangered in 2005, the National Marine Fisheries Service destest fisheries currently indicating a near ignated much of the inland waters of Washington State, now collapse of the spawning population – a termed the Salish Sea, as critical habitat.

n previous editions of the Whale Pages, we made the distinction between our Southern Resident Killer Whales (SRKW’s in government jargon – Orcas in our local jargon) and Transient killer whales (T’s in our local jargon). It is the SRKW/ Orca population of these whales that historically frequented the Salish Sea from May through September each year, following the once abundant Chinook salmon “runs” to the spawning rivers in this region. It was in response to the Orca population decline beginning in 1996 that the SRKW population was listed as Endangered in 2005, and a critical habitat area (see inset) was defined in US waters. Canada subsequently designated a large area of the Salish Sea north of the US/Canada

maj o r food source for our Orcas in the Salish Sea. erhaps the absence of our beloved Orca around San Juan Island this year is related to the absence of food – Fraser River Chinook salmon, in particular. It is doubtful that more words of SRKW critical habitat designation and geographic coordinates will sufficiently address this situation. What we need to do is encourage (if not demand) wild salmon population recovery in all watersheds of the Salish Sea, and enthusiastically applaud the Elwha dam removal for the return of spawning habitat to that river’s legendary Chinook.
