Official “risk rate” rises to moderate; forecast calls for sun
By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
Journal staff report
A bit of a sprinkle a week ago wasn’t enough to alter the course. And, it’s only gotten hotter ever since. San Juan County fire officials on raised the fire-risk status Monday, June 1, from low to moderate. Fire officials at that time cited the current fuel conditions and a long-range weather forecast calling for warmer temperatures and drier weather for elevating the fire-risk mark. That was prior the recent stretch of un-seasonally hot weather, which reached 80 degrees on the westside of San Juan Island and nearly 80 degrees on Orcas and on Lopez islands (See Weather Almanac, pg. 2). As a result, outdoor burning will be restricted to mornings only, 6 a.m. to noon, and fires must be completely extinguished by noon, according to San Juan Island Fire Department. Other than recreational fires, permits are required for burning outdoors in San Juan County, either for residential or commercial purposes. The cutoff date for burning outdoors has historically been June 30, and the season typically reopens in late September, See FIRE, Page 5

William ‘Bill’ Keel: 1926-2015 William “Bill” Keel, age 89, died peacefully in Blaine, Washington on Friday, May 29, 2015. William was born on May 28, 1926, on Orcas Island to John and Norma Keel. He was raised on the family homestead and attended Orcas Island School. In 1943, at the age of 17, Bill joined the United States Marine Corps. He served in WWII and the Korean War. His Marine pride was revived when his grandson, Tim, joined the Marines in 2001 “because he always wanted to be just like his grandpa.” Bill was a brave and loyal marine, proud veteran, as well as a patient and loving father, grandfather, greatgrandfather, friend and neighbor. William met his late wife Vera in the summer of 1950 and they married Nov. 8, 1952. William was deployed to war soon after dating Vera and wasn’t sure he would ever see his precious again. He was lucky to make it home from war. Soon after marriage, he had four children. Bill worked in Alaska building the Alaskan Highway and the Alaskan
pipeline. He worked for the Operating Engineers Union, driving D-8 and building many local roads such as I-5. But his greatest employment was when he served as a volunteer Lieutenant Fireman for the Marietta Fire Department from 1958 to 1989 and was a proud member of the NRA. Bill is survived by his caretakers and grandchildren, Timothy and Amanda Stidham, and their children, Caiden and Riley; his daughter Karey (Scott) Stidham; sons Robert Keel and Bradley (Leanne) Keel; grandchildren Nicolle (Shawn), Krissy, Breanna (Greg), Bobbi (Tim), Jamie (Eugene), Jerry and Joshua; great grandchildren Carissa, Haylie, Natalie, Lydia, Ciarra, Tommy, and Gemma; his
cousin Bev Keel; and special friends Jim and Lavernne Stephens, Robert Hall, Brent Ebergeson; and many more special friends and relatives. Bill is preceded in death by his wife Vera; son Gary, who died in infancy; his grandson in-law Bill Corder; parents; and older siblings John and Dorothy. William will be truly missed by all. The family would like to thank the staff at Stafholt, North Cascade Cardiology, St. Josephs Emergency Department, Home Attendant Care and Whatcom Hospice. A time of visitation will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., on Friday, June 5, 2015, followed by a 2 p.m. memorial service, both at Gillies Funeral Home. Burial will be at Olga Bay Cemetery on Orcas Island at 1 p.m., on Monday, June 8, 2015. All family and friends are welcome to attend. You are invited to share your condolences and memories in the online guestbook at www. gilliesfuneralhome.com. Arrangements are entrusted to Gillies Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Lynden.

Ranker seeks input on reservation system — Submitted as a news release from state Sen. Kevin Ranker
“Over the past several weeks, I’ve heard from many of you regarding your ideas, questions and concerns regarding the Washington State Ferries Reservation system. “I want you to know that I too have questions and share some of your concerns. While some of you have shared stories with me regarding significant benefits of the reservation system, others have expressed serious concerns stating that the reservation system has made it difficult for locals and businesses that rely on our ferries. “One thing is for sure, the implementation of the reservation system is a work in progress and while I do not anticipate, nor do I support, the repeal of the system, there are likely to be changes made as we learn what works and what doesn’t. “In addition to receiving comments from dozens of individuals at my office in Olympia and on the island, I have held meetings with members of
our lodging industry, construction industry, local ferry workers, chamber of commerce, visitor’s bureau and others. I have also met directly with state Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson. “These meetings have been productive and critical toward understanding all aspects of this issue. I have provided a letter to Secretary Peterson that lays out my preliminary recommendations to address some of the issues with the reservation system. “Your continued input is a crucial part of this process. Please contact me at my office at (360) 786-7678 or by email at Kevin.Ranker@leg. wa.gov so that I may hear what you think and what ideas you may have so that we can keep people and commerce moving.”
‘Leave No Trace’ returns for two-day workshops On October 7, 2014, San Juan County became the first County in the U.S. designated as a voluntary “Leave No Trace” Area as the County Council adopted the Guiding Principles and Ethic to support Stewardship in the San Juan Islands. Leave No Trace, Inc. selected Washington’s San Juan Islands as one of its eight endangered ‘Hot Spots’ in the nation in 2014. Last fall, the Subaru/ Leave No Trace Traveling Trainers held workshops on San Juan, Orcas, and Lopez Islands training over 75 islanders and reaching out to many others at a week of events across the islands. The trainers are returning this month for two days of events designed for youth and adults interested in learning about Leave No Trace Guiding Principles and Ethics. “Many outdoor areas across our nation, like the San Juan Islands, are negatively impacted by recreational use. We are literally loving the land to death,” according to Danielle Rowland, Subaru/Leave No Trace Traveling Trainer. “In most cases, the land impact isn’t due to a malicious
intent to harm nature and wildlife. Instead, it’s simply lack of an understanding or know-how of ‘Leave No Trace’.” The workshops will feature the Subaru/LNT Traveling Trainers team, with ideas for incorporating Leave No Trace principles into daily living and recreating, business advertising, touring, guiding, camping, teaching, staff development and for volunteers on public lands. Individuals, volunteers, students and business owners and their staffs with a connection or interest in
the islands' waters and public lands are encouraged to attend these free workshops. Learn about Leave No Trace principles to help protect and preserve the San Juan Islands for years to come.

Adoptions: Continued from page 1 score how breaching four dams on the Lower Snake River is the swiftest course of action to provide the endangered population with a greater abundance of food, Chinook salmon, in particular, Weiss said. “I wouldn’t say it had really been on his radar before,” he said of the president’s familiarity with issues related to salmon and the Snake River dams. “But he did seem very interested and there is a sense that it’s something he might be able to do through an executive order.” Customized and enhanced by local orca whale advocate Monika Wieland, the “adoption papers” are tailored-made for both girls. The two adoptees, both females, share the same birth year with each girl, respectively. Seventeen-yearold Malia’s adoptive killer whale is J-35, born in 1998, and 14-year-old Sasha’s is J-37, born in 2001. A neurologist by profession, father of a marine mammal researcher, Michael, himself a former Whale Museum intern, and a cousin of U.S. Senator Russ Feingold, D-Wisc., Weiss also made a pitch to the president as to why those four dams should be breached. He was one of 25 participants at the roundtable and, in addition to providing the president with a 13-page packet summing up the reasons why the dams should be dismantled, the Florida neurologist was first to raise his hand and be called upon to state his case. “(Obama) said that he couldn’t really guarantee any result but that he would give the issue a serious look and see what he might be able to do,” Weiss said. Listed endangered under the federal law in 2005, the

Southern residents consisted at that time of 88 animals. Made up of three closely related clans, J, K and L pods, the population totals 80 whales today. It hit a 30-year low late last year after a two-plus year drought of newborns, followed more recently by three births over the winter months. Under a federally mandated recovery plan, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, tasked with implementing the Endangered Species Act, lists lack of prey (salmon), pollution and disturbance by vessels as the three greatest threats to the Southern residents survival. The population earned a recent distinction, a dubious at that, by becoming one of seven other ESA-listed marine species considered by NOAA to be the most “imperiled of the imperiled.” The idea of presenting the president with orca adoptions took flight at marine mammal conference last year in Baja Mexico, where Weiss met up with supporters of the locally based Southern Resident Killer Whales Chinook Salmon Initiative. The group has collected thousands of signatures in a few short months on a petition calling for the dismantling of the four Lower Snake River dams, a course of action meant to boost the imperiled orcas primary food source, Chinook salmon. “Gary was thinking that it would be great to have some kind of connection between the president and the orcas,” Wieland recalls. “I hope something comes out of it in the end.” The personal touch has worked before, Weiss said. It was in Baja, some years back, where the National Resources Defense Council, an environmental advocacy

group to which Weiss contributes financially, were able to spare one of the last remaining grey whale breeding grounds from development by urging the president of Mexico, and his wife, to take a tour of the embattled area. The president put a kibosh on the pending project immediately after that visit. The Snake River Dams reportedly are in need of costly upgrades and repair, and will soon require renewal of a federally issued license to continue to operate. Salmon Initiative supporters contend those improvement costs, borne by taxpayers, exceed whatever economic benefit the federally managed dams provide and take a large toll on the river’s various stocks of threatened and endangered salmon. The prolonged existence of the dams threatened not only the survival of the Southern residents, but the economic health of the San Juans, Weiss said. While the Salish Sea may be their seasonal hunting grounds, he adds that their recovery is a matter of importance nationwide. “The Southern residents are kind of America’s whales, not just the Pacific Northwest’s,” he said. “Losing them would be a true American tragedy.”

Continued from page 1 Washington State Patrol. A motorcyclist since age 18, Wayner was known by family and friends to be a cautious and defensive driver. He reportedly was attempting to pass a vehicle when his motorcycle veered off the roadway and over the cliff. He was wearing a helmet at the time and the cause of the fatal collision remains under investigation, according to the state patrol. A Vietnam War veteran and licensed commercial driver, Wayner and wife Donna relocated from California to San Juan Island in the early 1990s.
He worked for San Juan Sanitation as a driver for the past five-plus years and drove trucks for more than a decade for the construction company of the late Richard Lawson prior to joining SJS. Wayner is father of four children and four grandchildren. A memorial account will be set up in Wayner’s name at the “gofundme” website to help the family with funeral expenses.

Wedow was appointed to the post most recently held by Nancy Greene, who served on the commission for 14 years. Her commission term expires in 2018. Wiese was appointed to fulfill the unexpired of Lisa Botiller, a served on the commission of the publicly owned land conservation agency for six years. The term expires in 2017. “I’m really pleased to be able to be part of the effort to steward the best of our natural land while providing opportunities for islanders and visitors to enjoy it,” Wiese said in a press release about the appointment, ratified recently by the County Council. A former planner on the island of Nantucket, Wiese’s career has been in the field of planning, preservation of the
open space preservation and public access. Created in 1991, the San Juan County Land Bank was modeled after a similar land conservation agency in Nantucket, the first land bank conservation program of its kind in the U.S. An Orcas Island property owner since 2004, Wiese and his wife relocated to Orcas a year ago, on the heels of retirement from his profession. Wedow began a career in conservation at Evergreen State College, where she studied botany, environmental sciences and received a dual Bachelor of Art and Science. She moved to Lopez Island in 2010 and is director of the Lopez Island Conservation Corps. As the panel’s newest appointees, Wedow and Wiese will join commissioners Amanda Azous, Christa Campbell Doug Strandberg, Matthew Wallrath and current Chairman Jim Skoog on the seven-person panel of volunteers, tasked with oversight of Land Bank operations.

Abide by contract Questions asked… Self-admitted “not the brightest light bulb in the here’s my stance box” Mike Buettell’s letter on May 20th casts the upcoming hospital district commission election ideologically, (“Six questions for seven candidates,” pg. 6). Hopefully voters will remain aware that PeaceHealth and the commission signed an agreement and that newly elected commissioners’ duties include zealously guarding and abiding by this agreement. This agreement accommodates these long-established and well known Catholic principles concerning abortion, birth control and sanctity of life. It is worth observing that Mr. Buettell and similar dim lights never-endingly tire of trying to impose their views on others. PeaceHealth and the Catholic Church “imposed” nothing beyond their long established principles… and did so in an agreement that voters have already found to be acceptable. In response to Mr. Buettell’s questions: I am satisfied that Catholic Bishops have no role in health care decisions beyond the agreement and in particular matters concerning end-of-life care, women’s-health and maternity. As to the other questions, oversight on behalf of taxpayers interests, full taxdisbursement disclosure and the quality of health care are the responsibility of the commissioners; and is
I appreciate Janice Peterson’s perspective on the upcoming election and the three “critical questions” that she has posed to the candidates regarding rumored litigation of the current hospital contract (“More questions for candidates,” May 27, pg. 6). In response, I do not support taking any action to break the current contract between PeaceHealth and the Public Hospital District. This contract has already been amended twice, and I would support negotiating further amendments if such changes would improve islanders’ access to medical care. Because Ms. Peterson also asked what outcomes the candidates are aiming for, here are my responses. The immediate critical outcomes are passage of an EMS levy and resolution of the EMS system’s finances. Secondly, I would like to see more detailed explanations of Peace Island Medical Center’s allocation of public funds for charitable care and provide these details to the community. Finally, within the limitations of the Public Hospital District board’s power, I will work to assure access to the best possible range of medical services in compliance with the law. Thank you for bringing these concerns to the candidates’ attention. I would welcome the opportunity

No place for hate; shame on Journal
I can’t believe San Juan Journal would allow such hate-mongering to be printed, “Assassins fueled by contradiction,” May 14, pg. 6,; online, “Fundamental contradiction leads to attack on freedoms,”. Also, Mr. Billington’s knowledge of Islam is limited, to say the least. He didn’t even refer to the Koran’s chapter and section correctly. I wonder if he has ever met a Muslim before.

As I See It
he sun shined bright and inside Turnbull Gym the temperatures sweltered. But the enthusiasm of the standing-roomonly audience rose even higher this past Saturday, as family, friends and well-wishers heaped congratulations on the graduates and bid bon voyage to the Class of 2015 . More than $450,000 in scholarships were awarded at Friday Harbor High School’s 103rd graduation. The financial award went not only to 41 students of the 64 graduates, but to many others who had walked across the stage before them, in the form of renewable local scholarships. As in the past, Friday Harbor will be represented at colleges, trade schools and universities across the nation and abroad. Our investment: Equip our community’s young people with the knowledge and skills they need so they can pursue meaningful, rewarding lives. Perhaps that might make them more resilient to the economic ups and downs of recent years. When we invest in education, we aren’t investing in just books and buildings. Saturday, we sent forth from the island the next wave of artists, business leaders, coaches, doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, financial advisers, journalists, lawyers, nurses, pilots, police officers, political leaders, teachers, tradesmen, veterinarians. We sent forth young people who want to help foster good environmental stewardship and bridge gaps between cultures here and abroad. They gained knowledge, yes, but also confidence, poise and sense of fairness from 13 years of testing their limits in the programs our school system offers — arts, clubs, community service, sports, stage. Herbert Hoover said, “If we could have but one generation of properly born, trained, educated and healthy children, a thousand other problems of government would vanish.” Education is one of the most important investments we make; the level of return depends, indeed, on what we put into it.

Special to the Journal
espite its claims to the contrary, OPALCO doesn’t have a revenue problem. It has a debt and spending problem. The problem has gotten so bad that it has violated a financial requirement of its lender. Unless it significantly cuts spending, and does it right now, it will have no choice but to raise our electric rates beginning July 1, and as often as monthly well into the future. What makes this an especially bitter pill for many members to swallow is this financial problem has much less to do with OPALCO’s historic, core mission, which is to supply its members with electricity than it does its debt and spending. It is, again despite the OPALCO board’s and management’s stubborn insistence to the contrary, almost entirely the result of its effort to become an internet and telecom business. The evidence defies the straight-faced denials of management and the board. By 2009, OPALCO had modernized its electric-grid infrastructure to (among many other things) read our meters automatically and give us the ability to check our electricity use hourly. Its long-term debt stood at $11.2 million, more than $2.5 million less than it had been when it started the project. Its annual operating expenses stood at $13.3 million. It wasn’t long after that, that the board decided to explore a way to provide county residents and businesses with high- Alex MacLeod speed broadband service. Its initial plan, which included a monthly fee to be charged to all electric customers, was roundly rejected by the membership.

Continued from page 6 County are not stupid. They see through name-calling and misquotes. The voters thirst for the truth. They thirst for answers from the candidates on how religion plays a part in our only hospital. They thirst to know if maternity care will ever be provided here. They thirst to know whether established laws will be followed, and how money is spent. We need to focus on these issues and not call people “dim lights.” And if you’re going to quote me, at least do so accurately. STAY THIRSTY, my friends MIKE BUETTELL San Juan Island
District’s duty is adhere to the law
I take strong exception to Albert Hall’s contention in his letter to the editor in the Journal on June 3 (online) that the existing subsidy agreement between
SJC Public Hospital District No. 1 and PeaceHealth is sacrosanct and that the duties of the commissioners “include zealously guarding and abiding by this agreement”. (See “Duty of district? Abide by contract,” Letters, pg. 6, top left) I will be voting for hospital commissioners who believe their primary responsibility is to meet community health needs, not to blindly defend the subsidy agreement. If there is something in the agreement which prevents the commission from achieving this responsibility and as a result the commission is in violation of state law, I expect it to work with PeaceHealth to modify the contract. By “law”, I refer to the laws of Washington State, not the dictates of the Catholic Bishops. I also disagree with Mr. Hall’s belief that the “Catholic Bishops have no role in health care decisions beyond the agreement and in particular matters concerning end-of-life care, women’s-health and maternity.” Nowhere does the agree-

What behind OPALCO’s latest electrical rate hike? Are forces other than just warmer-than-average winter temperatures to blame?
Rather than backing off or looking for other ways to solve broadband desires, the board very quietly decided on another course: call the investments necessary improvements to the electric-grid backbone, ones that would almost immediately produce operating savings, even though management at the time told the board no more than 5 percent of the investment would actually benefit the electric operations. The board then went on to buy Vulcan’s wireless spectrum in the county and later buy Rock Island and lend it $7.5 million over the next three years, much of which is to fund $1,500 loans to incentivize connections. When it finally went public with its internet business plan last October, it said it would break even by 2017 and then return a 30 percent profit by 2020. (So far its forecast for connections is way behind its plan.) It also said the total cost to the each electric customer would be $72 spread over the following two years. Really? By the end of last year, management had told the board that it needed to increase the base “facilities charge” to each customer by 36 percent and raise rates overall by 12 percent. This was after having raised rates by 6 percent each of See BOOKS, Page 8
ment refer to the limitations the Catholic Bishops are well known to have imposed on procedures performed at Peace Island Hospital. Women of childbearing age needing family planning and pre-natal care, all previously performed at the defunct Inter Island Medical Center, as well as families facing difficult endoflife decisions, are simply ignored by Peace Island Hospital even though it is subsidized by our tax dollars. Two corrections to Mr. Hall’s letter: Residents of San Juan Island never voted on the agreement as he states. Also, Mr. Buettell, myself, and others are not “trying to impose their views on others” as do the Catholic Bishops. We only want the hospital district to comply with state law and not the dictates of a religious body. We expect Peace Island Hospital, subsidized with our tax dollars, to meet “community health needs”, including “the delivery of quality patient care” as stipulated in the Public Hospital District
Commissioner Guide published by the Association of Washington Public Hospital Districts. The dictates of the Catholic Bishops do not currently permit it to do so. DAVID DEHLENDORF San Juan Island
Political arena marred by excess
A letter to the editor by David Turnoy in the Sounder’s May 20 edition, “Let’s get money out of politics,” speaks to the corruption that money has in the electoral process. We of course all decry what our supposedly rational Supreme Court in the Citizen United did to those of us that are against the peddling of influence. I have consulted with politicians who have voiced support for legislation that would help the small business owner, only to find out that large corporate contributions or threats to their careers suddenly reverse their motivations to make See LETTERS, Page 8
OPINION/LOCAL
8 — Wednesday, June 10, 2015
Books: Continued from page 7 the two previous years, planning to raise rates another 6 percent a year through 2019 and nearly doubling the higher “facilities charge” by 2019. And this was before today’s “revenue shortfall crisis.” So, what has happened since 2009? OPALCO’s debt has more than doubled, to $25 million, including an increase of $7.5 million last year. Its operating expenses have increased by nearly 30 percent (despite the pledge that the “electric-grid” investments would produce operating savings). Annual interest on the debt has increased 85 perecent to $1 million. (And OPALCO has yet to begin serious borrowing—$15-17 million—to replace the underwater cable between Lopez and San Juan islands). General Manager Foster Hildreth told the board last week that it was a “revenue shortfall” caused by a warmerthan-normal winter and less than forecasted energy use that led to this crisis and the need for the board to add a surcharge on our bills in July. But the fact is that the electric revenues for this past winter were actually about $500,000 greater than the average revenue for the same winter months from 2009 through 2013. And even if they are below OPALCO’s faulty forecast and not keeping up with the cost of electricity OPALCO buys, this, alone, did not trigger this financial crisis. It was just the last straw. So, just to be clear, the problem is not the “revenue
shortfall”. It is spending. The doubling of debt can only be explained by broadband. Most of the operating expense increases can also be tied to broadband and its interest payments. The debt and spending is directly responsible for OPALCO violating the terms of its loan agreements, as Alex Conrad of Orcas demonstrated in a recent post (http:// orcasissues.com/guest-opinion-revenue-shortfalls-in-opalcos-rural-cooperative#comments). I believe it is way past time for the OPALCO board and management to be honest with the membership about the true reasons for all this debt and spending and that one warmer-than-usual winter isn’t the root cause of OPALCO’s financial crisis. It also needs to provide the membership— as well as its lender—a “corrective action plan” that is something other than the blank check it seems intent on writing, and that we will pay. (A note to redears: The numbers I have used for debt, interest on debt and operating expenses are certified reports OPALCO is required to submit annually to its lender (called RUS Form 7s), and from its 2015 budget. I’ve had to estimate the electric revenues for this January, February and March from a line graph Hildreth presented to the board last week (May 28). He refused my request for the actual numbers used to create the graph). — Editor’s note: Alex MacLeod is a 25-plus year member of OPALCO who lives on Shaw Island.

Continued from page 7 those positive changes. As is said today, “Anyone can get the legislation that they can write a check for.” Sad! However, as sad as the above is and its harm to the 99 percent, the governments, local, state and federal, spend thousands of hours concocting rules and complex regulations that defy the credulity of reason. These regulations and rules demand permits and inefficient methods for implementation, thereby creating bigger and bigger bureaucracies to implement and enforce them. All for a very costly sum.
For example, I am not a contractor, but I would estimate that the cost of all the permits to clear, build and stay on a piece of land might equal 30 percent of the cost of the building. It is one cause that drives the potential home owner from being one. It is serious, and its creep is insidious. It bodes ill to the younger generation and their aspirations. It is harmful to the self-motivated and work ethics of so many people who are trying to get ahead. If your local or state legislator can’t control some sanity in rules and regulations, vote them out for someone that will. WALT CORBIN Orcas Island

Poison hemlock: deadly footnote in history, and more Executioner’s potion of ancient Greece can thrive in the San Juans
I
— Submitted by staff of SJC Noxious Weed Control program
n 2009, 17 poison hemlock exposures were recorded by the Washington Poison Center. In 2010, a Bellingham man was hospitalized after having eaten what looked like a baby carrot growing in his garden. The same year a Tacoma woman died after accidently ingesting this deadly plant. This year, the Washington Poison Center reports it has already treated 10 people who have eaten this highly toxic plant. Poison hemlock is a potently poisonous member of the parsley family and when young, is easily confused with other more benign members of this family, such as Queen Anne’s lace, wild chervil or domestic carrot. It may be distinguished chiefly by its lacy, fern-like leaves, its height (up to 10 feet), its purple-blotched stalk and unpleasant odor. Poison hemlock’s stems and leaves are smooth and hairless, whereas those of Queen Anne’s lace are hairy. All parts of the plant are Contributed photo poisonous and only small A patch of poison hemlock in amounts can sicken or kill bloom on Lopez Island. both humans and animals.
In ancient Greece, hemlock was a classic executioner’s potion and was used to execute Socrates. Its toxic alkaloids initially will cause stimulation followed by severe depression of the central nervous system, resulting in death by respiratory paralysis. Symptoms may appear 1-3 hours after ingestion, and include nausea, vomiting, dilation of the pupil’s confusion, sweatSocrates: 469-399 B.C. ing, and rapid heartbeat. There is no antidote. Touching the plant may cause skin reactions in some people (Turner et al. 1991*). Cattle are the most susceptible of livestock but all classes of animals are affected by this plant’s toxicity. Poison hemlock can also cause birth defects when consumed by pregnant animals. Animals will normally avoid fresh plants; however, when dried, poison hemlock loses its characteristic “mousey” odor,” becoming more palatable, but remaining toxic. Poison hemlock is a Class B designate noxious weed in San Juan County, and control is required. Although commonly seen along roadsides, and in open fields on the mainland, it is only sparsely scattered throughout the islands. It has been found in gardens, pastures, gravel pits and in other disturbed areas. On San Juan Island, it was discovered inside a fenced community garden growing next to carrots, and on Shaw, it was found growing just outside a garden. It thrives in cool, moist climates, making it well-adapted to the climate of the San Juan Islands. Wear protective clothing (including a long sleeved shirt, gloves and eye protection) when working with poison hemlock.
In the winter and early spring, rosettes and bolting plants can be dug out. Mature plants can be cut or mowed when they are in flower but before all flowers completely open. If cut earlier, the plants will regrow. Remove all cut plants from gardens, pastures, play areas, since cut plants remain poisonous and chemicals leaching from the decomposing plants suppress the regrowth Contributed photo of other vegetation. Do not burn the remains, Above, a close-up view of a as the smoke may be toxic. stock of poison hemlock. Applying a layer of cardboard will suppress poison hemlock and its seed bank, which should then only be viable for about three years. For chemical control, a glyphosate product can be applied with a brush or spot sprayed on individual rosettes. If you choose to use an herbicide, follow label instructions. The label is the law. To help keep poison hemlock from spreading further in the islands, ask for noxious weed free soil and gravel. If you wish further information, or would like to schedule a free site inspection for noxious weeds, please call either Judy Jackson or Jason Ontjes at the County Noxious Weed Control Program office (360-376-3499). * (Nancy J Turner & Adam F.

wo gardens on the shoreline, one vintage home set in an oak grove, one whimsical house and garden, and a garden literally on the rocks. These are the treats in store in the 2015 Garden Tour, coordinated by the San Juan Island Garden Consortium, Saturday, June 13, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets are on sale now, $15 n What: per person, and proceeds will go to member n When: organizations of the Consortium to be recycled n Participants: into community projects like the WSU Master Gardener Demonstration Garden at the Mullis Center, summer hanging baskets in town and n Admission: premiums in the Flower Hall at the County Fair. You can purchase tickets at Griffin Bay Books, n Tickets: Ace Hardware, Browne’s Garden Center and Roche Harbor Store. Directions to the five gardens are printed on the back. Docents from the member organizations will be available to answer questions and full descriptions will be placed on the Garden Club website: sjigardenclub.weebly.com. Parking is available at or near all the gardens and a special offer this year is a lemonade stand under spreading oak trees. Come for a refreshing drink between visits to the other featured gardens.
At a glance
The two properties along False Bay are adjacent to one another, and share the same landscape designer, Steve Schramm of Island Gardens Company and construction contractor, Dan Lowe, of Lowe Construction. But, as you tour both, you will see, up close and personal, how very different two properties can be—the architecture, the layout, and garden design and the plantings. Yet both convey the sense of wholeness Schramm brings to all his landscape designs. The Green property was purchased from renowned textile artist Amanda Richardson when she returned to England. The new owners built a stunning new home designed by Tom Kundig, an innovative Seattle architect known for his industrial style mixed with the vibrant crafts culture of the Pacific Northwest. He also built their guest house which you must not miss! Amanda’s garden was created to emphasize the beauty of its False Bay location and Schramm incorporated echoes of her garden plan in the new layout. Trees that could be saved were saved. Native curly Willow, Salal and Nootka roses were left be. The tall and stately, airy fence of metal stakes and reinforcement wire complements the house and landscape. This beautiful connection between land and sea, man-made and nature-created, exemSee GARDEN, Page 12

ing area, Schramm planted Oceanspray (yes, he did), and then trimmed it into a private tunnel that opens up to the front door of the house. Here he created berms, planted groves of trees and an easy-care bed at the right of the entry door, planted with heather mounds that layer into Salal and grasses. Pathways are created wherever they can be incorporated, providing numerous routes to the water’s edge and its magnificent viewscape. As you visit Jim and Katy Nollman’s garden, be prepared to be taken by what is not only an interesting garden, but a garden that reflects the owner’s deeply held philosophy that advocates for “gardens as spaces for a genuine healing relationship between person and place.”—this from the jacket of his book, “Why We Garden,” Sentient Press, 1994. Inside the fenced garden, practical, yet graceful, raised beds created with mortared stones are connected by similar stone pathways, imbedded with inset stones, glass, and other found objects. This is an island on a rock, and these stones were all island-found, and the garden beds were built stone by stone. At Portland Fair you will visit a landscape and home created with love and ingenuity — home and garden inseparable by design, and you are invited to tour both. What

you will see was accomplished solely by the owners Susan Carnes and Bill Ray. Many plants were acquired at local sales, traded for, given to, or “found”. All are thriving. The hardscape is an ongoing labor of love that meanders through the property with pergolas here, walkways there, arbors, a magical potting shelf with its own plant angels. The outer edge is planted with Sequoiadendron giganteum, and the usual suspects of Ocean Spray, Salal, and Douglas fir are plentiful. The house was originally built by Scott Gates in the 1970s. Susan and Bill bought the property in 1996, and said the only things growing well were bountiful thistles and old cars. Everything has been created by the owners, stained glass windows, paintings, woodcarvings and a meandering garden with little treasures at every turn. At end of Glen Oak Lane, a vintage house, once a successful bed-and-breakfast, is framed by towering Garry oaks. These native species oak, Quercus garryana, are a dramatic presence here. This oak can live to be 300 years old. There are at least two dozen of these magnificent specimens here, though, sadly, one was lost this year. The property has hosted a bluebird recovery effort aviary because it provides the exact habitat bluebirds prefer— stands of trees combined with open meadowland. The “garden” consists of scattered beds and berms. Rosemary and Oceanspray mark the entrance. An oval bed on the left is anchored by a fat and sassy juniper and surrounded by iris, dusty miller and a volunteer peach tree. Toward the front of the house an angled bed consists of a low growing juniper, rhododendron, lavender, and blousy orange poppies. Foundation plantings are rhodies, hydrangea, candytuft, and a large Spiraea ‘Bridal Veil’. This is not your typical “garden tour” garden. The beauty of this place lies in the beauty of the location, its openness and spaciousness. The trees shelter and enve® lope you, and also invite you to embrace their beauty. The respite spot for lemonade over 46 was placed here so you will years have time to let yourself into the wonder of this savannah of Garry oaks in this special place on this special island.

Grand slam propels Bashers to Little League title Grand slams don’t come around all that often, not in Little League. But the Friday Harbor Blue Bashers got one when they needed it most. Ty Vague launched a
rocket that cleared the fence to drive in four runs and ignite the offense, leading the Bashers to a comefrom-behind 11-10 victory in the championship game of the Inter-Island Majors Little League tournament, May 30 in Friday Harbor. With the win, the Bashers (13-3) put the finishing touch on back-to-back victories in the 5-team tournament and avenged a loss in the championship game a year ago. But they needed a late-breaking display of fireworks at the plate and a resilient performance in the field to do it. Trailing 7-1 in the fourth inning to the Friday Harbor “Silver” team, Vague’s 4-run homer catapulted the Bashers back into the game and the two island rivals waged a see-saw battle down the stretch. Ethan Germain returned to the mound for the sixth and final inning and, with

tournament, the culmination of a three-month season for ballplayers of 11-13 years of age, pitted three Friday Harbor teams against one another and one team each from Lopez and Orcas. — Scott Rasmussen
