‘Queen’ bids adieu, legacy lingers By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

Whether the new design for the Spring Street Landing building lands back on the drawing board remains to be seen, but the Town Council agrees it’s worth a shot. Bowing to lingering concerns over the building’s height, as proposed, and pitch of its roof and the waterfront views impacted by it, the council agreed without dissent at a June 26 public hearing to send the project back to the Port of Friday Harbor with a request to consider whether the roofline might be lowered. Specifically, the council asked the port and its architect, BC&J Architecture of Bainbridge Island, to consider whether the pitch of the roof can be lowered from 10/12 to 8/12, in architect parlance, thereby lowering the overall height of the roof. Not everyone on the council believes that a redesign is favorable, or necessary. Councilman Neal Monin said after first impressions of the roof ’s pitch faded, that it was “steep and up there,” he noted it appears striking similar to that of the nearby Doctor’s Office. “Aesthetically, it’s very unique and pleasing,” Monin said of the design. “Overall, it’s a nice look, a nice design.” The Port of Friday Harbor Commission is expected to consider the town’s request See PITCH, Page 5

County crews begin a labor intensive cleanup after more than 60 auto tires were dumped on the waterfront of a westside land preserve in midMarch.

By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

Accused of dumping at least 60 automobile tires on the shoreline of the Land Bank’s Westside Preserve, a San Juan Island man has about three more weeks to cover the cleanup costs and the expense of disposing of the discarded debris, some of which ended up in the water, or face additional fines or possible criminal prosecution.

She took along with her an untold number of memories and myriad reflections of 60 years of maritime expeditions when the venerable Evergreen State set sail out of Friday Harbor, bound for Anacortes, for the very last time. A host of ferry lovers, history buffs and local dignitaries made their way to the waterfront, assembling around the ferry terminal, to see her go. Sunday, July 29, marked the final sailing of the oldest boat in Washington State Ferries’ fleet, and state and local officials memorialized the event with photos, gifts and speeches onboard her deck. Known by many as the “Queen of the Northern Fleet,” the Evergreen State cruised out of Friday Harbor for the very last time escorted by a U.S. Coast Guard boat and with San Juan Island Fire Department’s Fireboat Confidence in the lead, casting aloft a steady stream of water at the head of the procession. Bill and Schevaun Massey of Anacortes, accompanied by friend Jan Conklin, boarded the boat in Anacortes and made the roundtrip back home to be part of the 2:15 p.m. sailing

Teens experience abuse too

ne in three teens has experienced some kind of abuse in their dating relationship, according to the American Journal of Public Health. One in three. This includes physical and emotional abuse, stalking, and sexual coercion. Abuse may look different in teen versus adult relationships, but we need to take it just as seriously. The Washington State Domestic Violence Fatality Review has been studying domestic violence–related homicides in our state since 1997. The research shows how early many abusive relationships start. Nine percent of domestic violence homicide victims were under 21 at the time they were killed, and 31% of homicide victims in studied cases were under 21 when they started dating the abuser. Several met in high school or middle school.

Orcas man to face felony drug, weapons charges

360-293-8647 • 800-77-NOVUS 2219 Commercial Ave • Anacortes, WA 98221

An Orcas Island man accused of selling methamphetamine out of his Rosarioarea home is slated to stand trial in early September on felony drug and weapons charges. On July 27, David Atanas Andreev, 39, pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to three counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, a Class B felony, and to two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, a Class C felony. He was released three days after his arrest, pending a Sept. 5 trial date, on $75,000 bail. Andreev was taken into custody June 13 after local deputies and detectives, backed by a search warrant and assisted by a Bellingham-based K-9 unit, descended on his Geisers Way home. Authorities seized cash, scales, packaging materials, firearms and drugs, including 24 grams of methamphetamine and eight ounces of packaged marijuana, according to a probable cause affidavit filed by the Sheriff ’s department. The bundle of confiscated items include a .22-caliber rifle, a .32-caliber revolver and ammunition. Andreev, convicted in 2005

Researchers found that education about dating violence in schools was not sufficient and often started too late. In their first experiences with dating, these young people did not get critical information about what a healthy relationship is or practical tips on what to do if someone was abusing them. Their parents also did not have the information they needed. Many tried to help, but did not know about resources—like their local domestic violence program—that could help them in their efforts. We can do better. Teens need information, safe options, and support. Dating violence is a complex issue with no one, simple answer, but it is simple for each of us to play a role in teaching teens about healthy relationships.

of first-degree possession of stolen property, is prohibited from possessing firearms as the result of that felony conviction. According to the sheriff ’s department, the arrest was the culmination of a fourmonth investigation into suspicious activity in and around the Rosario-area home. That activity, such as a steady flow of vehicles at all hours of the day, many of which reportedly stayed for only a brief period, prompted numerous complaints to the sheriff ’s department and a meeting of concerned neighbors in late April that was attended, at the neighbors’ request, by the county prosecuting attorney. A Class B felony, possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver carries maximum penalties of 5 years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both; however the standard range of sentencing set by the state is 21-27 months for a first offense. According to court documents, authorities believe that Andreev’s alleged drugdealing may have prompted a break-in and attempted armed robbery at his Geisers Way home in December 2013. Detectives suspect the defendant in that case, who has since pleaded guilty to attempted assault and burglary, believed Andreev would be in possession of a good deal of cash because of the alleged sale of illicit drugs.

were installed in the wake of several earlier thefts. On June 27, Paul E. Guard, 25, pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of first-degree burglary, a Class B felony, and to one count of theft of a firearm. He is slated to stand trial Aug. 4. Two weeks earlier, 35-year-old Brian Flierl pleaded not guilty in Superior Court to firstdegree burglary and theft of a firearm, and to seconddegree unlawful possession of a firearm as well. He is also scheduled for trial Aug. 4; bail was set at $20,000. Authorities claim the two men broke into a home in the Lampard Road area on the night of May 22 and, after searching from room to room, made off with a jar full of coins, a $20 bill and a 9-mm Glock handgun from a bedroom cabinet. They were reportedly identified by footage from a surveillance camera, which the homeowners had installed on the heels of sev-

eral earlier break-ins and thefts. The two men were taken into custody at their respective homes May 23, the day after the alleged break-in. Authorities reportedly recovered the handgun from Flierl’s Friday Harbor apartment at the time of his arrest. A Class B felony, firstdegree burglary carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both; however, the standard range of sentencing set by the state is 21-27 months for a first offense. Flierl, a recent victim of a home invasion and assault himself, in which two masked men broke into his Linder Street apartment a year ago in midJuly, demanding prescription medication, has an extensive criminal history, including several recent felony convictions. Guard has no known criminal history or prior convictions, according to court documents. — Scott Rasmussen

Balcomb featured in sonar expose Out July 1, “War of the Whales” digs deep into Navy’s use of sonar By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

An in-depth biographical account of San Juan Island’s most celebrated marine biologist, it’s not. Maybe someday such a book will be on the shelves. In the meantime, if you’re looking for a gripping, true-life tale about the battles Ken Balcomb has waged to protect the Southern resident killer whales, and other m a r i n e mammals as well, from the very same governm e n t that is supposed to be reeling the endangered population back from the precipice of extinction, well then, my friend, your ship has come in. Seven years in the making, “War of the Whales,” a 420-page expose of the U.S. military’s often secretive use of sonar in marine waters around the globe, and account of those, like Balcomb, who, through keen supposition and painstaking science, first connected the dots and then launched a courtroom campaign against the U.S. Navy and its perilous program, is due out July 1. Researched and authored by renowned science writer Joshua

Horwitz, co-founder of Washington D.C.-based Living Planet Books, and published by Simon & Shuster, War of the Whales blends together the spirit of both a suspense thriller of a Grisham novel (except that it’s NOT fiction) and the political intrigue of an “All The President’s Men.” In fact, here’s what Bob Woodward, co-author of All The President’s Men, has to say about it: “A gripping, brilliantly told tale of the secret and deadly struggle between American national security and the kings of the oceans.” And, there’s this from renowned oceans’ advocate Jean-Michel Cousteau: “It’s the true story of the underwater collision between life in the ocean and an acoustic storm of military sonar — and of citizen activists holding accountable the world’s most powerful Navy. For anyone who wants to save marine life from drowning in man-made noise, this is a must-read book.” The book begins with what appeared at the time to be a mysterious mass stranding of beaked whales in the Bahamas. Balcomb, longtime director of the San Juan Island’s Center for Whale Research, was witness to that stranding at the center’s research facility in the Bahamas, in 2000. Meanwhile, the book’s other chief protagonist, attorney Joel Reynolds of the National Resources Defense Council, has begun uncovering bits and pieces of the Navy’s mostly concealed sonar operation and is preparing a legal challenge to expose and contest it. In 2003, Balcomb was witness to another mass stranding, of sorts, this time involving members of the Southern residents orcas, listed as endangered under federal law in 2005, when the USS Shoup traveled the waterways off the westside of San Juan Island with its active-sonar deployed.

For Balcomb, who has studied, tracked and kept a yearly census of the Southern residents for nearly four decades, being depicted as a larger-than-life character is somewhat “embarrassing.” Nevertheless, he believes the book could be thought of as required reading simply from its informative treatment about the use of active sonar and damage it’s wrought and, even for him, because of the depth and breadth with which Horowitz documents the role that the military plays, and is aware of, in endangering life in the sea. “Josh really dug in there,” Balcomb said. “He’s one persistent son-of-agun.” — Editor’s note: The Center for Whale Research will receive a $5 donation for every order of “War of the Whales” made via the center’s website, www.whaleresearch.com, prior to its official July 1 release date.

1. Demand is Strong. There is currently a pent-up demand of purchasers as many home buyers pushed off their search this past winter & early spring because of extreme weather. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the number of buyers in the market, has begun to increase again over the last few months. These buyers are ready, willing and able to buy…and are in the market right now! 2. The Process Will Be Quicker. One of the biggest challenges of the 2014 housing market has been the length of time it takes from contract to closing. Banks are requiring more and more paperwork before approving a mortgage. As the market heats up, banks will be inundated with loan and qualification inquiries causing closing timelines to lengthen. Selling now will make the process quicker and simpler. 3. There Will Never Be a Better Time to Move-Up If you are moving, consider doing it now. Prices are projected to appreciate by over 16% from now to 2018. If you are moving to a higher priced home, it will wind-up costing you more, both in down payment and mortgage payment, if you wait. You can also lock-in an interest rate in the low 4’s right now. Rates are projected to be over 5% by this time next year. Only you know the answers to the questions above. You have the power to take back control of the situation by putting your home on the market and pricing it so it sells.

and send-off. They memorialized the occasion with chocolate ice cream cones on the sun-splashed Sunday afternoon. “It’s sort of a historic thing,” Conklin said. “We’ve never been on a final trip onboard a ferry before.” The first-ever ferry commissioned by Washington state and built before the age of the internet, cellphones, Facebook or space travel, in 1954, the Evergreen State has long been a fixture in the San Juan Islands and the nearby international waterways as well. It’s been a mainstay on the inter-island route and the international run for decades. San Juan Island’s Robert Demar boarded the boat with a copy of “Nautical Highways” in hand. The book focuses on four ferries that plied the San Juan waterways in the 1990s, the E-State included, and also features his photographs. In addition to its maritime legacy, Demar noted that for some, himself included, the ferry also calls to mind an air of romance. He and his then-bride-to-be boarded the E-State, bound for Sidney, B.C., married on Vancouver Island, and returned to Friday Harbor

County Councilman Rick Hughes, far left, prepares to read a proclamation at the Evergreen State’s June 29 ‘bon voyage’ celebration.

as newlyweds. Similar in size to the Evergreen State, the Klahowya, with 87-vehicle capacity, will serve as its replacement. The Klahowya, which means “greetings” in Native American/Chinook, was originally constructed in 1958 and retrofitted in ‘95. The San Juans are expected to be served by a newly constructed 144-auto ferry by late 2015. For many, like Catherine McKenna-Smith, memories of the Evergreen State run deep. Like Demar, she and her husband, Joseph, rode the ferry to Vancouver Island 20 years ago to get married. It was the first ferry that Joseph, a former San Juan County plan-

ning director, ever rode in his first-ever trip from Washington D.C., where he worked for the FBI, to Puget Sound. In the mid 1950s, Catherine McKenna-Smith’s father was the purser on the Evergreen State. She later worked for the ferry system for several years. The Mount Vernon couple boarded the Evergreen State in Friday Harbor to commemorate the ties that bind on the ship’s final sailing. “Every Sunday I would ride the boat with my dad,” McKenna-Smith said. “That’s before there were any galleys and my mother would make us fried chicken for lunch. Those memories are very special to me.”

Fines: Continued from page 1 arrangements to pay that bill by that date. He had 45 days to contest the alleged violation, which was issued June 2. Should he fail to do so, local land-use rules allow the county to impose additional fines, beginning at $500 a day, and to pursue criminal charges for failure to comply with the “corrective actions” outlined in the violation notice. In addition, Foley was served notice to cease and desist operating what local officials describe as a un-permitted wrecking and salvage yard at his Roche Harbor Road home, and to remove the many assorted broken down vehicles, scrap metal, appliances and cast-off mechanical parts scattered around the property, which, according to county records, is owned by his mother, a resident of Montana. That notice is the second in the last two years in which Foley has been ordered to cease and desist, and to cleanup, the wrecking operation at the Roche Harbor Road property, according to county Code Enforcement Officer Christopher Laws. As part of the recent investigation, local officials determined Foley falsely claimed to have discarded a mass of tires he had been ordered to dispose of at either of two recycling and scrap businesses on the mainland. Representatives of both businesses said they have no record showing Foley had been involved in such a transaction during the relevant dates, according to the notice of violation. Laws also noted that photographs taken as part of earlier investigations at the Roche Harbor Road property, which show the make and tread types of various tires, matched those dumped at the Westside Preserves. Foley reportedly admitted to also having loaded another 70-100 tires that he was ordered to dispose of on a flatbed truck, and then concealed it in dense brush on a property on Julie Way, near Trout Lake. He is ordered to dispose of those as well.

Elusive slug-eating snake revealed Couple’s cat snags slug-eating snake in first-ever find on San Juan Island

TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION

Submitted by San Juan County Land Bank

Continued from page 1 when it meets July 9. A new building is intended to replace the former Spring Street Landing Building, once the home of Downriggers Restaurant and three other waterfront businesses, after the top floor of the building was razed and destroyed by fire in the early morning hours of Aug. 17, 2013. All four businesses were displaced as a result of the inferno. After a design for the new building met opposition earlier in the year, the most recent design, which includes a public plaza, restaurant, retail spaces and underground parking, drew the endorsement of the town Historical Review Board. The endorsement translates into an option of raising the roofline, from a maximum of 27 feet to 35 feet, and providing 50 percent fewer parking spaces than the size of the building would normally require under town building codes. The design calls for 16 underground parking spac-

es and another three at the street level. The port will also be required to contain and to treat stormwater runoff on site, as opposed to the former building’s requirements, in accordance with a new shoreline development permit. The port anticipates that about two-third of its construction costs, roughly $4 million, will be paid for from the insurance settlement from last year’s fire.

The underbelly of the elusive Sharp-tailed Snake, a slug eater and rare find on San Juan Island.

Since the original discovery, the Land Bank has been working closely with Fish and Wildlife to survey for the snakes, primarily on Orcas and San Juan islands. Two more snakes were found on Turtleback Mountain Preserve in 2013. The Land Bank and WDFW are also collaborating with the University of Washington’s Conservation Canine program to use their trained “scent detection” dogs to try find more of the snakes. “To find a previously unknown species on a well-populated, small island at this point in time is very exciting,” WDFW Biologist Ruth Milner said. “We are very interested in learning more about this snake and welcome any sightings people can report.” The Land Bank and WDFW will hold an informational meeting later this summer or in the fall. Contact Ruth Milner or Doug McCutchen if you are interested in helping survey your property for this elusive species, contact Milner or the Land Bank's Doug McCutchen. The Land Bank intends to search for the snakes throughout the archipelago and welcomes participation from home owners in all kinds of habitats, regardless of whether or not they are associated with Garry oak areas.

A San Juan Island couple, Maria Michaelson and Eben Shay, have recorded the first documented sighting of the Sharp-tailed Snake on San Juan Island. Their cat brought it home on a Thursday evening. “It was a totally lucky find,” Michaelson said. “We had just learned about the snakes the day before and we were determined to find one, but didn’t expect for it to happen so quickly and certainly not this way.” Carefully collected, the snake will be donated to the University of Washington’s Burke Museum. Sharp-tailed snakes are a small, secretive species that is presumed to be closely associated with Garry oak ecosystems. Less than five percent of Garry oak habitat remains from its historic extent, which account in part for why the snakes are so infrequently seen. The sharp-tailed snake, which specialize in eating slugs, spends almost all of their time undercover, in rotting logs, and possibly underground. They are smoother in appearance than the resident garter snakes and have grey/brown/ reddish coloration, with a sharp thorn-like scale at the end of their tale. Sharp-tailed snakes are non-venomous and very docile. The first documented occurrence in San Juan County occurred in 2006 on Turtleback Mountain, as Land Bank stewards Ruthie Dougherty and Doug McCutchen discovered one under a rock while constructing a trail. Like Michaelson, they recognized the snake as something different from the islands' regular garter snakes and snapped a photograph in order to identify it. Washington State Fish and Wildlife officials confirmed it as the first sharp-tailed snake seen in western Washington since the 1950s, as well as a first in the San Juan Islands. The snakes are listed as an endangered species in Canada, where they are known to occur on just four of the Gulf Islands and in the outskirts of Victoria. They are more common in Oregon and California, the southern part of their range.

OPINION Letters to the Editor Sheriff’s log, more than a good read

We are extremely dismayed over the discontinuation of the Sheriff ’s Log. We have lost something that represents some of the most important values of a small town. Reading the Sheriff ’s Log was a regular reminder that each of us is not just an individual but also a part of our community. Each of us is accountable for our actions because what we do, good or bad, affects not just ourselves, but all of us. We wish there

were some way to bring the Sheriff ’s Log back. JEAN & STEVE HENIGSON Orcas Island

The required second half says “Muhammad is the prophet of God.” Contrary to the Quran, to be faithful one must 1) pray to God, 2) include Muhammad as a partner in the prayer, and 3) join Islam. Maybe in the future, as the schizophrenic fire within information-overloading human hearts and minds increases, as focused-on partners-of-God and other argued details burn hotter, humans, to cool that heat, will turn inward to God as the only reference, not to an external religion, book, or person.

As I See It

Stonewalled by the powers that be at our ‘un-cooperative’ By Alex MacLeod

Special to the Journal

hen John Bogert resigned in frustration last September from the OPALCO Board, there was a sense of real loss in the Shaw community, where he is known as a smart, steady, community-spirited guy who had been twice elected to represent our district. Later, when the island learned that OPALCO’s lawyers had sent a letter threatening John with legal action if he talked about his reasons for resigning, the sense of loss turned to anger. That anger was still fresh when the OPALCO Board and its two senior managers came to Shaw last month for a Town Hall meeting. Since County Councilman Bob Jarman had received his own threatening letter from OPALCO’s attorneys in April, this was an opportunity to ask the board to explain its actions. The questioning was led by Keith Gerrard, a Shaw resident who for the better part of 50 years was a partner in a prominent Seattle law firm. His questions were clear and

Much to our astonishment, all the Board members present (Bob Myhr was absent), as well as General Manager Randy Cornelius and Assistant General Manager Foster Hildreth, denied any advance knowledge that the letters had been either written or sent. They implied that the letters were entirely the work of two Seattle lawyers who represent OPALCO, and one or two Board members indicated the Board should consider firing the attorneys for acting without the Board’s knowledge or consent. Curious, I called and emailed the lawyers, telling them what had been said and asking if they could shed any light on the letters. The one who responded (who has since left to form his own firm) said it would be improper to comment in any way on his work on behalf

of OPALCO. Not satisfied with the lack of an explanation, I filed a document request with OPALCO to review its legal bills for brief periods surrounding the letters to Bogert and Jarman. Having worked with lawyers for many Alex MacLeod years, I knew the bills would show involvement, if any, by OPALCO Board members or management in the threatening letters. As I said in an email to Cornelius, the billing records “are the best way to…demonstrate that no one at OPALCO—Board or management—has anything to hide and were responding honestly to the community’s questions” at the Town Hall meeting. Ten days later, Cornelius denied my request. He said he did so with “the full support of the Board…We believe you received an answer to your question on this subject at the Shaw Town Hall Meeting,” the threesentence rejection letter concluded.

So, what is to be made of OPALCO passing up this opportunity to show that its leaders were telling the truth on Shaw? My belief is that the billing records show one or more Board members or senior managers were not telling the truth when they denied involvement, and that Board members who were not directly involved in the letters likely knew others were being dishonest, but said nothing. The letters themselves are replete with evidence of Board and management involvement, including that of Chris Thomerson, Board president at the time, and Cornelius. Additionally, the Rules of Professional Conduct that guide lawyers’ work make it extremely unlikely they would have acted absent the direction of their client. This is a sad state of affairs for any organization, much less a member-owned cooperative with more than 75 years of open, honest, member-driven leadership. Has it suddenly become okay for Board or management to be anything less than open and honest with the membership?

Guest Column

Go Fourth!

A little humility; good place to start

he 4th of July is San Juan Island’s, and America’s, outdoor holiday, packed with events for kids and adults at both ends of San Juan Island. And it looks as if the weather, as usual, will cooperate. Check out the list in this paper, pg. 11, for things that you and the kids might have fun doing; there are many. Service clubs like Kiwanis and Rotary and local businesses like Valmark, Ace Hardware and Petro San Juan have once again put up the cash to provide the community with another “Fourth to Remember.” More than 100 local volunteers add their work so you can have a good time on the only public holiday that is still celebrated on the actual celebration date. You can thank all of them and show your community spirit by coming out to participate. Both at Roche Harbor and Friday Harbor, there are more events than you can shake a weeni-roasting stick at, from the “Storybook Heroes” parade in downtown Friday Harbor to the last vestige of fireworks at Roche Harbor. From the One More Time band at the Kiwanis Pig War Picnic at the Historical Museum grounds to the “J-Bots” first-ever performance at the Rotary’s 13th annual Rock the Dock, you can dance ‘til you drop—then let the fireworks tease out the “oohs” and “ahs” from the kids—and you. It’s a special day for kids: face-painting, threelegged racing, and egg-tossing at the Picnic, kids games, donut eating, and blindfolded dinghy racing at Roche Harbor. Rekindle the spirit of Independence Day in the kids, and maybe some of those good feelings and spirit of freedom of Fourths past may come back to you again. And if you’re a teenager, too old for kids’ games, the Picnic, Rock-the-Dock and walking the Roche Harbor docks are just the place to meet some new friends, try out some new dance moves or just maybe run into that person you want to hang out with for an hour or two. Here’s hoping that year’s Independence Day celebration is the best ever - and encourage all the people who spend time and money putting it together for the rest of us to make the next Fourth even better.

Insulated now, but tempest is rising; welcome to the Anthropocene Era By Steve Ulvi

Special to the Journal

eeding an Alaska fix, something more real than the absurd TV reality shows, I recently called an old friend, Archie, to chew the fat and trade barbs. He thinks me a fool for moving south after decades of the good life in the “Big Cold North.” I offered the guarded optimism I feel living here, as seven billion humans face the gaping maw of accelerated climate change. Here we have a geography of hope; mild climate trending warmer and drier, great growing conditions, a natural moat, fresh water and a strong sense of community. The human masses who mostly live and die in quiet despair have never known the benefits of industrialization, nor contributed much to earth-warming emissions. But we, in stark contrast, are among the most fortunate of all humans ever to walk the earth due to the gifts of geography, resource wealth, exceptional nutrition and unbridled capitalism. We live long and prosper with little concern for how we got here and the dirty legacy of rapacious industrialization. Archie agreed in principle but scoffed while sucking in boiled black tea strong enough to etch glass. How helpful, he asked, will the well-healed in the islands be in the critical times ahead? You know they have a death-grip on their piles of money except to spend it on $4,500 toilets, huge SUVs, outlandish trophy homes and ungodly expensive yachts that seldom leave the dock? I had to agree that our grey demographic here seems deeply divided in terms of awareness and empathy. The favorable social and economic conditions we have prospered under since WWII have solidified class distinctions and concentrated wealth and power in the top 10 percent. Powerful self-interests always over-ride the common good, Archie growled. Common sense is really not so common. With growing social dysfunction in mind, we agreed that the collective sacrifices of WWII seem inconceivable today. More sobering yet, that devastating war was a short, geographically limited political struggle compared to the tempest of suffering, resource disparity, displacement and conflict that is heating up, just over the horizon. Welcome to the Anthropocene Era. The effects of the not-so-invisible hand of the mythic

From my vantage point as a 25-year member, OPALCO began straying from its core values shortly after it entered the land of broadband, an entirely different business than OPALCO’s historic role. It quickly began doing much of its business in secret “executive sessions” or “working meetings,” neither of which is provided for in its By-Laws. It also blithely entered into “confidentiality agreements” which, among other things, hid that it was in the process of committing at least $3 million on “wireless-spectrum infrastructure,” ostensibly only to improve its electrical operation. While that may be true, and it may turn out

to be a good investment, OPALCO’s members were kept in the dark until the deal was announced in a press release last Friday, still minus any word on its $3 million commitment. OPALCO also has spent more than $10,000 and perhaps as much as $20,000 for its lawyers to draft new Board policies to make critical public comment by Board members close to a criminal offense and, of course, demonstrated that intent by threatening a former elected Board member and an elected county official with legal action unless they quit making any comments perceived as critical by OPALCO or its Board. In short, OPALCO no longer is operating as a cooperative, but rather as if it were a private corporation, and a deceptive and aggressively private one at that. It is a completely

“free market” and human manipulation are everywhere. Earth’s mantle of life is so very thin and incredibly complex. Our atmosphere evolved over billions of years, finetuned by a proliferation of biological life all because the planet spins just so and orbits in the sweet-spot distance from a minor star. Our 21st century human “success” is the direct result of 10,000 years of fairly conContributed photo sistent climatic conditions. Steve Ulvi I was reminded of the repeated misuse of the adjective “pristine,” most recently by the Stewardship Network to describe our archipelago. Really? Falsely equating visual landscape beauty with underlying ecological conditions, given irrefutable evidence to the contrary, as well as common sense, is foolish and intellectually lazy. Magnificent resident orcas mesmerize us while steadily sliding down the slope of extinction. Yet, we seem only willing to rearrange the deck furniture some, rather than fix the root problems. Archie, now on his high horse, snorted about the good folks who so willingly suspend reason to embrace religious stories on faith, but can’t for a moment consider accepting well-founded, but necessarily imperfect science, in understanding cause and effect. Modern science cannot provide the “right answer” for complex social decisions. Only we can do that. Although we are three decades behind the curve, we must own up to our causal role in accelerated climate change and fully embrace our responsibilities to do everything we can to lessen the magnitude and severity of cascading impacts beyond our time. Greatly reducing our economic expectations, leaving fossil fuels in the ground, living lower on a local food chain and a willingness to pay the true cost of fossil fuels would be a helluva’ good place to start. — 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.

Has the pursuit of broadband created a new era of secrecy at OPALCO?

unnecessary and unfortunate change that needs to be reversed. The Board holds its next regular meeting at 8:30 a.m. this Thursday at the OPALCO office on Guard Street in Friday Harbor. I urge all of you who care about OPALCO and its honest relationship with its members to attend and be heard. However, while there’s

time on the agenda to welcome another paid consultant, there is no time set aside for member comments. I guess that’s our new OPALCO. Sad, really. — Editor’s note: Shaw Island's Alex MacLeod, former Seattle Times editor, and SJ Ferry Advisory Committee chairman, has been an OPALCO member for 25 years.

Priceless performances, admission free Fan favorites featured in Music on the Lawn outdoor concert series, 2014

Concert lovers have spoken, and Island Rec is prepped and ready to give ‘em what they want most. The celebration of 30 years of uniting people with parks, programs, trails and music continues, as San Juan Island Parks and Recreation District will feature the most popular musical acts, as determined in a people’s choice balloting, in this summer’s free Wednesday night concert series, Music on the Lawn. Showtime begins at 6:30 p.m., outdoors at San Juan Historical Museum, 405 Price Street. Here’s the lineup: n July 9: 133D Army Band’s Brass Patriots play tunes ranging from The Beatles to John Williams, patriotic to funk. The group is comprised of 15 citizen soldiers from across the state of Washington, stationed at Tacoma’s Camp Murray, and is led by trumpeter Sgt. Alton Huckaby. n July 16: Tapwater is a boisterous sextet that blends the sound of banjo, steel pans, piano, accordion, upright bass, guitar, vocal harmonies, drums aplenty, and more, into a swirl of danceable and strangely exotic music. While steeped in the roots of American musical traditions, the Portland, Ore.-based band puts a unique stamp on its tunes and performances by drawing musical inspiration from around the globe. n July 23: The Seattle Chamber Brass features the city’s brightest up-and-coming brass musicians. From Mozart to Broadway show tunes, Bach to Joplin, the band leads its audience through a diverse, exotic musical landscape with an energy Kate Schuman and singular style all its own. n July 23: Soul Purpose is perhaps bestremembered for its dynamic lead singer, Yvette Kleckley,

or, it might well be for its blazing five-piece horn section and thumping four-piece rhythm section and its Motown sound. The Seattle-based band’s playlist features some of the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s biggest hits, such as “Mustang Sally,” “Respect,” “Roll With It,” and “Does Anybody Really Know What Time it Is?”. n Aug. 6: Rewind features local musicians Kate Schuman, and Tami and Tom Doenges, who, together as a trio, are well-renowned for a unique blend of stirring, gifted vocal harmonies. The three will close out the summer concert series with a long list of some of the ‘60s and ‘70s classic and best-remembered tunes. Blankets, lawn chairs and picnic baskets encouraged; pets and alcohol prohibited. For more information, call 378-4953, or visit, www. islandrec.org

Around Town ‘Bambinos’ play Home Trust benefit

Hospice of San Juan

Puerto Vallarta most popular club band, Los Bambinos, returns to Friday Harbor, July 5, to headline the entertainment at San Juan Community Home Trust’s second annual summer Mexican Fiesta. Last year’s dinner-concert-benefit drew an overflow crowd, and tickets are certain to be in demand. The fundraiser, or, should we say “fun-raiser,” features dinner, dancing, silent auction and a raffle drawing for a week stay in a condo in Puerto Vallarta, with dinner out and another concert with Los Bambinos in their hometown included. The Fiesta gets under way with dinner, beginning at 5:30 p.m., at Brickworks. The menu includes tacos, green corn tamales, rice, beans and salad; aquas, margarita and beer will also be available, as will coffee and a special chocolate tamales dessert. Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door; kids’ tickets are $15, and can be purchased at the Home Trust office, 435-C Argyle Avenue, and Saturdays at the Farmers Market. Raffle tickets are $50 each, and only 100 will be sold. For more information, contact Home Trust Director Nancy DeVaux, 378-5541.

Encore, encore… Met: Live in HD

San Juan Community Theatre joins more than 400 theaters across the country in presenting the Metropolitan Opera’s Summer Encores, featuring select performances from its Live in HD series, beginning Sunday, at 2 p.m., with a Las Vega twist on Verdi’s “Rigoletto.” SJCT’s Sunday screenings feature five Live in HD broadcasts, beginning, July 6, at 2 p.m., with a Las Vegas twist on Verdi’s Rigoletto, followed by Puccini’s La Rondine (July 20), Verdi’s Otello (Aug. 3), The Enchanted Island (Aug. 17) and Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette (Aug. 31). Since launching its Live in HD series in December 2006, the Metropolitan Opera has become a leading producer of alternative cinema content, hitting 15 million tickets sold in April, with Puccini’s La Bohème. The Community Theatre also broadcasts the National Theatre Live productions from Great Britain. SJCT’s partnership with both programs was made possible through a generous bequest from the late Dodie Gann and underwriting from the McGee Foundation. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students, and are available online at www.sjc-

theatre.org, or at the SJCT box office, 378-3210.

Age proves irrelevant on the road Marathon features new course, strong showing by 50-and-over crowd Black balloons for these two? Not a chance. Fifty-year-old Gerard Reski crossed the finish line in three hours, 29 minutes and 51 seconds to take firstplace in the 2014 San Juan Island Marathon, June 22 at Lakedale Resort, first-time host of the annual event. Fellow 50-year-old Michael Brisbois, trailing Reski by just two minutes and 37 seconds, completed the 26.2-mile course in 3:17:13 to snag second. Friday Harbor’s Jared Dallman, 34, finished sixth overall, 3:29:35, and first among local runners. A total 60 competitors tested their training and their race-day mettle in this year’s marathon, which, after 11 years as the island’s premier long-distance endurance event, featured an almost entirely new course in 2014. Meanwhile, 56-year-old Cyndi Kelly proved swiftest of the 47 women competing in the 13.1-mile half marathon, completing the course in 1:38:19 to finish first among the women’s field and seventh overall. Friday Harbor’s Robyn Roberts, 19, crossed the finish line 38 seconds behind Kelly to take second among the half-marathon female field. This year’s marathon and its companions, the half and a 10K run, drew a total of 214 competitors, 15 fewer than 2013’s 229, which was a 20-percent increase over the previous year. In the half-marathon, David Yecha, 23, bested the entire field to finish first overall, in 1:23:52, and 18-year-old Aiden Anderson of Friday Harbor, Class of 2014, finished third, at 1:27:34. Margo Cramer, 24 (3:21:12), and fellow 24-year-old Chelsea Ward-Waller (3:24:36) finished first and second,

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the sellerâ€™s and buyerâ€™s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the sellerâ€™s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To make a firewood complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx

Stars shine at SJCT silver anniversary

Theatre marks 25 years with tribute to founders, encore performances Say what you will about theater people, but they sure know how to throw a party. Maybe that’s why the seats had all been spoken for, in anticipation of San Juan Community Theatre’s silver anniversary celebration, weeks before the curtain rose on the theatre’s special evening of entertainment and much-anticipated 25th-year birthday show. The July 28 anniversary extravaganza drew a standingroom-only crowd. Artistic Director Susan Williams opened the show with a salute to that fabled “casual conversation” 25 years ago and to SJCT’s founding fathers and founding mothers who, spurred on by a challenge and $500,000 donation by Paul and Lucy Whittier, overcame countless hurdles in a quest to build a new performing arts, and home for the island’s performing artists, out of thin air. The evening included encore performances by The Orphans from the spring musical, “Annie”, Dance Happy, La Dance de la Mar dancers Joely Loucks and Caitlan Ross, The Island Chordsmen Plus and Melodius Notes, actor Nick Bey’s monologue from “Working,” General George Pickett (Mike Vouri) and a SJCT “Bricks & Mortar” tale by former theatre director Merritt Olsen. Since its construction, the Community Theatre has

presented 120 productions of its own on the Whittier Stage, and dozens more in the Gubelman Theatre. Aided by a crew of 300-plus volunteers, the theatre draws an audience of 10,000 or more each and every year. The show concluded with performances by stage stalwarts Jacki Altier, Daniel Finn, Jill Urbach, and with a medley from the musical “Chicago” by the ever-popular San Juan Singers.

Every June through August, nearly 2,000 new seal pups are born around the islands. Although it can be thrilling to see these adorable, large-eyed youngsters sunning on the beach or bobbing in the water next to their mothers, it is important to make sure that our bustling human population

Best advice? Don’t touch, resist the urge to intervene, report standings does not hinder the seals’ well-being. Harbor seal pups found alone on beaches generate a lot of concern from local residents, as well as visitors. How can you help? The best thing to do is to give it space. Zero human interference actually maximizes the pup’s chances for survival. If you come across a pup this season, please follow these simple rules: n Do not touch or move it n Do not feed it n Do not pour water on it n Do not try to drive it back into the water… n Do keep people and dogs at least 100 yards away (it’s the law!) and do call the stranding hotline: 1-800562-8832 Another way you can help is to make sure you are not polluting, and pick up trash when you see it; one of last season’s harbor seal pups was recently sighted with a plastic packaging band digging into its skin. Something as simple as cutting through plastic loops

Summer’s here, be prepared for pups Summer has arrived… and that means harbor seal pups. If you have spent any time in the San Juan Islands, you have probably noticed that we have a lot of harbor seals. In fact, the Salish Sea probably has the most dense harbor seal population in the world. They are also the only pinnipeds that can be found here year-round.

before throwing them away can save lives. Unfortunately, even without human interference, not all of this summer’s pups will survive to be adults. The natural mortality rate for harbor seal pups is very high. The harbor seal population in the San Juan Islands has not grown or decreased for almost a decade. This doesn’t leave a lot of room for new seals. It’s hard to think about seal pups dying, but they do provide food and nourishment for dozens of other local animals, from bald eagles to sea stars to crabs. Please help us respect these natural cycles for the benefit of the entire Salish Sea ecosystem. Report all stranded marine mammals (dead or
