One year to the day after the Pacific Legal Foundation petitioned the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on behalf of a group of California farmers to remove Endangered Species Act protection from local resident killer whales, NOAA rejected the delisting petition.

The NOAA Fisheries Service statement said there was no new information to change its 2005 decision to protect Puget Sound killer whales, a closely knit clan of three pods, called J, K and L, which together num-ber 82 animals, according to the most recent survey by San Juan Island’s Center for Whale Research.

“Our determination that the southern resident killer whale population constitutes a distinct population segment under the Endangered Species Act and previous conclusion that the DPS is in danger of extinction and should retain endangered status all support our finding that the petitioned action to delist the southern resident killer whale DPS is not warranted,” the fisheries service said in its announcement.

In announcing the deci-sion, NOAA spokesman Brian Gorman said the Southern resi-dent killer whales have been determined to be a distinct population group, with its own

State and federal regulators last week announced that environmental impacts of what would be the largest coal export facility on the West Coast will undergo large-scale review that extends well beyond the site of the proposed Gateway Pacific Terminal at Cherry Point.

In a joint press release issued July 31, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Washington state Department of Ecology and Whatcom County said the scope of the GPT environmental impact statement will include “direct effects at the site and evaluate a broad range of indirect and cumulative impacts likely to occur within and beyond Washington.”

Critics of the project were quick to applaud the decision.

“We are pleased to see that the Gateway Pacific Scoping Report included issues that are critical to islanders including marine traf-fic, human health, green house gasses, and the cumulative impacts of regional coal exports,” said Stephanie Buffum, executive director of Friends of the San Juans. “We appreciate the leadership of Department of Ecology and the governor for looking at the longterm health

Skeptics score in clash over coal

By Steve WehrlyJournal reporter

A shopping fixture on Spring Street for 40 years, Jeri’s Spring Street Center, often referred to as Jeri’s Mall, was purchased in February by local entrepreneur and philanthropist Scott Boden for $877,000 from the Lawson family trust.

Originally from the mid-west, Boden founded Enerdyne Technologies in 1984, sold the company in 1998 and moved with

his family to San Juan Island in 2004. He has already invested in local residential property and says he will continue to look for good opportunities to invest in property and buildings on San Juan Island.

For right now, he’s immersed in

improving and refurbishing the retail building, which features the second-most frontage on Spring Street, trailing only King’s Market.

Constructed in 1973, the build-ing was originally intended to be

New owner, new plans for Jeri’s mall

journal file photo Critics of a proposed coal export facility at Cherry Point call for broad review of the project at a environmen-tal impact statement “scoping” meeting in Friday Harbor in early November. Last week, they got their wish.

Scott Boden, owner of Jeri’s Mall, talks over new plans for the venerable shopping center at 260 Spring Street with ten-ant Richard Swanson of Discovery Kayaks.

a two-story structure, said Boden, who’s working with a contractor to figure out if a second floor makes sense.

Boden likes the idea of doubling the rentable square feet; he’s considering add-ing office space and vaca-tion rental units. He’d also like to add a central atrium and he expects to rebuild the front and back entry-ways, repaint and relight the

building inside and out, and add a staircase and possibly put in an elevator if he adds a second floor.

Putting a second story on the building would double the rentable space to 12,000 square feet. Boden, who has experience fixing up commercial properties in California and residential property in Friday Harbor, intends to complete the reconstruction by June of 2014.

“It will be the nicest building on the street,” he

said.His first improvement

was to pave the rear park-ing, adding 19 parking spots, making the back door of the building accessible for shoppers and install-ing an oil-water separator to reduce stormwater pol-lution.

Boden proudly reports that the building is now fully occupied, anchored by Discovery Kayaks, Friday Harbor House of Jerky, John King’s San Juan Jewelry and On Point Barbershop.

A look inside: Friday Harbor House of

Jerky was opened as the nation’s 26th House of Jerky, and owners Mike Lineback and Cindy Crowe say they “couldn’t be happier being in Friday Harbor.” Look for a jerky booth, and try the wild boar, buffalo or kangaroo jerky, at the San Juan County Fair later this month. House of Jerky sells a full range of dried prod-ucts, including salmon, sausage snacks and dried fruits in addition to about 20 kinds of meat jerky.

Discovery Kayaks and Richard Swanson have operated at several Friday Harbor locations for 25 years, but Swanson thinks the current spot is the best yet. The shop conducts kayak tours, gives kayaking lessons and sells all manner

of kayaking equipment and clothing, including kayaks.

Daniel Obregon moved to Friday Harbor in March and bought and opened On Point Barbershop at the same time. He says he and John Garcia, the other hair-cutter in the shop, have been so busy since opening “that I haven’t had enough time to play golf ” - his current sports passion after play-ing football, baseball and basketball in his youth. The big flat screen TV usually has a sport program run-ning, and Obregon makes haircutting time pass quick-ly with sports stories and observations.

John and Sarah King pur-chased the former San Juan Jewels, renamed it San Juan Jewelry to reflect John’s jew-elry design and repair exper-tise, and moved in down the hall between Vinnie’s pizza and coffee shop and the House of Jerky. John has 15 of years jewelry design and fabrication experience, hav-ing apprenticed for famed jewelry designer and maker Bernard Passman at the Venetian in Las Vegas. You can observe him working every weekday at his jew-eler’s bench on old and new jewelry and watches.

Library closed for inventory, Aug. 14-16, week of the Fair

The San Juan Island Library will be closed to the pub-lic August 14-16 for inventory of its collection.

The 3-day closure corresponds with the dates of the county Fair, which has historically been a slow time of the year at the library.

Book-drops will be closed temporarily and books returned during the closure may not be checked in until Monday, Aug. 19. The library asks those with books or other check-out items to return to refrain from doing so until after the inventory is completed. The library last did a complete inventory in 2006.

The upcoming inventory is expected to allow time for staff to electronically scan each item in the library and to help correct errors that resulted a year ago following a switch to a new software program.

The library maintains 110 different collection areas, such as adult fiction, teen fiction and easy fiction, and a total collection of more than 58,000 individual items, including books, CDs, DVDs and maps. For more information, contact the library, 378-2798, or visit www.sjlib.org.

Local wood for local products

The Northwest Certified Forestry project is sponsor-ing a meeting on Aug. 13

in Eastsound to explore the opportunities and barriers to the use of local wood for local island projects. The meeting will be at the Orcas Senior Center in Eastsound, 1-4 p.m.

San Juan County Councilman Rick Hughes, Erik Sircely of Insite Design and Kaj Enderlein of Heartworks Construction will discuss new county pol-icies and existing building ordinances that encourage use of local wood, lumber availability from local mills, designing with local wood and engineering locally-milled lumber.

Architects, builders,

craftspeople, homeowners and other wood products users are encouraged to attend.

Renowned for superi-or quality, “island wood”, from the forests of San Juan County, produces high-value lumber for local building projects. Mills and manufacturers throughout the islands are equipped to produce beams, flooring, trim, molding, cabinetry, and fine crafts.

"Islandwood" discussion, Aug. 13, 1-4 p.m., Orcas Senior Center, Eastsound. For info, contact Kirk Hanson at 360-316-9317 or [email protected].

The unappetizing red foam seen floating on the surface of inshore marine waters in San Juan County is not related to the organism that causes paralytic shellfish poisoning.

But all recreational shellfish harvesting in the county is nonetheless closed because elevated levels of the paralytic shellfish poisoning organism have been detected through-out local waters.

The red algae bloom is not harmful to health in most cases, according to John Manning, county director of Health and Community Services.

Jerry Borchert of the state Department of Health con-firmed, however, that high PSP levels in the county caused the state Department of Health to close shellfish harvesting for all kinds of shellfish in the county July 12.

The closure includes oysters and all varieties of clams and mussels. Other Puget Sound and coastal marine areas are also closed for some or all shellfish, so be sure to check the following state website before harvesting and consum-ing any shellfish anywhere: www4.doh.wa.gov/gis/mogifs/biotoxin.htm.

Borchert and Gary Covington, an environmental health specialist for the county, both pointed out that local shell-fish are tested regularly - "every week" when shellfish har-vesting is closed, every two weeks when PSP organisms are not found.

Mussels are the indicator species for the PSP organisms

that are used for testing, but Covington points out that but-ter and varnish clams retain toxins for extended periods and sometimes remain closed when other shellfish beds are open.

Covington said that the county's four commercial shell-fish farms test their products whenever they are harvested; currently, only one of four shellfish farms in the county (Buck Bay Shellfish on Orcas) is closed until testing shows reduced biotoxin levels.

Toxic load prompts shellfish closure

Ban imposed on campfires in State Parks

Washington State Parks last week banned campfires in all state parks until fur-ther notice to help prevent human-caused wildfires during the hot, dry season.

Campers are allowed to use devices that con-trol combustion, includ-ing propane and liquid gas stoves appropriate for camping and backcoun-try use; propane barbecue devices that do not use solid briquettes; propane or pressurized white gas warming devices that have a shield or base; and solid fuel citronella or other candles in a metal bucket or glass container.

The ban in state-run parks does not apply to pri-vate campgrounds or areas outside of those areas man-aged by Washington State Parks.

In prescribing the ban on campfires, State Parks is following the lead of the Department of Natural Resources, which last week also notified the public of a ban on all outdoor burn-ing on lands protected by DNR. That agency has fire protection responsibility on approximately 50 percent of state park lands.

EMT course starts in October

As San Juan Island EMS and MedEvac continues to expand services to the com-munity, there is a growing need for professional volun-

teer EMTs.San Juan Island EMS

and MedEvac will conduct an Emergency Medical Technician course begin-ning Oct. 5. Classes will be held each Wednesday night and all day Saturday through March 2014.

Interested full-time resi-dents of San Juan Island can find out detailed informa-tion and obtain necessary application paperwork at www.sanjuanems.org/emt-class.

Applications are only available online and must be completed and turned in by 5 p.m. on Aug. 28, at the Frank Wilson EMS Building, 1079 Spring Street, Friday Harbor.

Free grief support group offered by Hospice SJ

Hospice of San Juan will offer a facilitated grief support group thanks to a grant from San Juan Island Community Foundation.

The support group, an eight-week session led by Lenore Bayuk, is offered

free of charge and begins Sept. 10. Donations will be accepted as part of Hospice’s “pay it forward” campaign.

Participants need not have been engaged with Hospice of San Juan to reg-ister for the group session. For more information, con-tact Hospice of San Juans at, 360-472-0322, or visit, www.sjhospice.com

Back to school? Vaccine time

Preparing for school is the perfect time to make sure children’s vaccinations are up-to-date. Getting all of the recommended vac-cines is one of the most important things parents can do to protect their chil-dren’s health.

When children are not vaccinated, they are at increased risk for disease and can spread disease to others in their classroom and community-including to babies who are too young to be fully vaccinated and to people with weakened immune systems. Schools are highly susceptible to outbreaks of infectious dis-eases.

Children ages 4 to 6 and getting ready for kinder-garten are due for boost-ers of four vaccines: DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, per-tussis), Varicella (chick-enpox), MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) and polio. Older children need Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, per-tussis), MCV (meningo-coccal conjugate virus) and HPV. College-age students need to be sure they are up-to-date on flu, menin-gococcal, HPV, and Tdap, as well. A yearly flu vac-cine is recommended for all children 6 months and older.

Visit or call your health care provider or the San Juan County Public Health Department at 145 Rhone Street, Friday Harbor, 378-4474 about immunizations. For further information, visit the Immunization Action Coalition at www.vaccineinformation.org or www.immunize.org.

and environmental impacts associated with this project.”

The three agencies together are producing the EIS for the controver-sial GPT project, which, at full capacity, could process and export up to 48 mil-lion tons of coal bound for

Asian markets a year. In addition to a detailed study of increased rail-cargo near Bellingham and Ferndale, as well as in other areas of the state, the EIS will include as assessment of environmental risks from increased shipping traffic in the state’s inland waters and through the San Juans.

An additional 18 deep-draft “Capesize” cargo ships

are expected to arrive or depart from the terminal each week, according to Ecology. A “draft” of the final EIS is expected to be complete in two years.

The decision to broaden the scope of the project’s environmental impacts drew praise from local envi-ronmental advocates.

State Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, praised the scope of the EIS as well.

“There are significant questions regarding this project and by the time this study is concluded we should have a much greater understanding of the long- and short-term impacts of all aspects of this terminal,” Ranker said

If approved, the $650 million Gateway Terminal would be the largest bulk export facility on the West Coast, perhaps in the nation. At full capacity, it would be capable of exporting up to 54 million metric tons of coal and other commodi-ties a year from the plant that Pacific International

Terminals, a subsidiary of SSA Marine, which oper-ates an export terminal at the Port of Seattle, and oth-ers worldwide, is seeking to build at Cherry Point, just north of Bellingham.

While the Corps of Engineers must follow the National Environmental Policy Act in conducting its part of the joint environ-mental review, Whatcom County and Ecology are guided by the State Environmental Policy Act.

Ecology and Whatcom determined that under SEPA the EIS should include an examination of impacts on “earth, air, water, plants and animals, ener-gy and natural resources, environmental health, land and shoreline use, transpor-tation, and public services and utilities.”

Project supporters claim the extent of the EIS is unprecedented and that it could discourage com-panies from investing in future projects that bring

"She can give Ms. Streisand a run for it!” — Seattle Times

In the first of what may become many legal battles about the Gateway Pacific Terminals Cherry Point coal port proposal, RE-Sources for Sustainable Communities settled in U.S. District Court its lawsuit claiming that Pacific International Terminals illegally cleared, bulldozed, drilled and filled 1.2 acres at the site of the proposed coal port.

PIT, a subsidiary of SSA Marine of Seattle, agreed to pay $1.6 million in penalties and fees, including a payment of $825,000 to the Rose Foundation for Puget Sound restora-tion projects, $775,000 to RE Sources attorneys, and a 2.9-acre wetlands set aside to mitigate impacts of un-permitted activities at the site.

PIT’s work at the Cherry Point site was part of a geo-technical investigation project, authorized by PIT on property currently planned for the Gateway Pacific Coal Terminal. The data gathered by the geotechnical investi-gation, it was claimed in the suit, supports project plan-ning and design.

According to Crina Hoyer, executive director of RE Sources, SSA Marine, the corporate parent for PIT, knew what they were doing, including the fact that the Lummi Nation identified some of the land in question as archaeo-

logical or tribal burial sites. Hoyer noted in a press release that SSA has decades of experience developing marine port facilities, including building new operations and providing engineering, port design, terminal construction and project management services.

According to RE Sources attorney Richard Smith, “PIT acknowledged that they knew beforehand that permits or authorizations were required not only from the Army Corps, but also from Ecology and Whatcom County. They could offer no explanation for why they didn’t get these, except that following the law ‘fell through the cracks.’”

Philip S. Lanterman, a Re Sources consultant on large-scale construction project management, stated “In my opin-ion, it is probable that PIT intentionally chose to proceed with the geotechnical investigation without necessary per-mits to obtain the expected economic benefit of securing the geotechnical information early in the project timeline, and PIT has actually received such benefit.”

SSA Senior Vice President Bob Watters countered in a press release: “This is what we call a ‘nuisance’ lawsuit. We thought we had the permits we needed. As soon as we found out we did not, we stopped the work. Even before the Corps, Ecology and Whatcom County came out with their findings, we began to develop a plan for restoring any affected habitat.”

economic benefits to the state and its citizens.

“This expanded review casts doubt on Washington state’s ability to invest in any major port infrastruc-ture projects,” said John McLaurin, president of the Pacific Merchant Shipping Association. “Trade is a driver for our economy, and for our ports and water-fronts and now is not the time to undermine our

opportunities to expand trade.”

More than 125,000 com-ments were submitted dur-ing a series of EIS “scop-ing” meetings conducted at various parts of the state by the three regulatory agencies, including one on San Juan Island, in which a standing-room-only crowd packed Friday Harbor High School’s Hall Gym.

language and own food source. He said the Southern resi-dents do not breed with other groups of killer whales and that they meet the legal standard for a distinct population group.

The NOAA decision may not end the dispute, which pits The Empress Del Bosque and Coburn Ranch farms in the San Joaquin Valley south of Sacramento, represented by the conservative Pacific Legal Foundation, against the NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service, which decided in 2005 that the Southern resident killer whales, which consists of three closely related pods, deserved protection under the Endangered Species Act.

In 2008, the Fisheries Service issued a recovery plan for the Puget Sound whales. As part of that plan, Fisheries extended what had been a 100-yard buffer between boats

and whale to a 200-yard barrier. The farm group argued that the Puget Sound pods should

be considered part of the entire North Pacific killer whale population, which is not considered endangered.

The Pacific Legal Foundation and the farms have not announced whether they will follow up the rejection of their petition with a lawsuit.

The National Park Service, San Juan Island Conservation Corps and Oregon Museum of Science and Industry are working this summer to reduce trees and woody vegetation encroaching on prairie and other land at American Camp. The Parks Service calls the work its long-term Cultural Landscape Restoration plan.

The park will be removing a stand of about 170 young Douglas firs that have encroached on the prairie southeast of the Redoubt.

In addition to removing the Douglas firs, the park will also be focusing restoration efforts on the historic spring near South Beach. Selective thinning of the vegetation around the spring will stabilize this important feature of the park and help preserve its integrity, the Parks Service notes in a press release.

The overall plan involves reducing woody vegetation (Nootka Rose, Douglas Fir, English Hawthorn, snow-berry) on approximately 350 acres by mechanical methods. Because of the large area extensive encroachment, a variety of methods will be utilized, including hand pulling, mechanical removal of woody material and prescribed fire.

That bagpipe boy deserved better

It has come to my atten-tion that a certain person, and business owner, has made his focus this sum-mer to stop the young man playing his instruments at Spring Street Landing.

The young man has spent 1,500-plus hours learning his craft and has entertained thousands of people walk-ing through the area. He has made people dance and old Scottish people cry with nostalgia.

Is it any wonder why young people who grow up on this lsland can’t wait to leave, when the place is run by such old, bit-ter, angry men who seem to get their way with no opposition?

How many towns like Friday Harbor have young people willing to list their occupation as Town Piper? Will no one else speak up in

support of the Bagpipe kid?Rob Tison

Pancake flippin’ pirates say thanks

Friday Harbor’s Cutthroat Pirates served up pancakes, bacon and eggs at the 4th annual Friday Harbor Fly-In last Saturday (July 27).

We would like to express our thanks to Dave, Richard and the crew at the airport for giving us this opportu-nity and for the help setting up.

Susan at the Friday Harbor Fire Dept. was instrumental, lending us the equipment to cook the breakfast. We sourced local-ly, since John at Marketplace was kind enough to hold sale prices an extra week and give us case-pricing on many items.

Deb at the American Legion let us order our eggs from Brad at Sysco, and Betsy at the health depart-ment was very helpful in steering us through the permitting of our first food

event. Our crew was incredible

and worked together like clockwork, and last but not least, the customers were all great — even when the line got long. Thanks again everyone, and we hope to do it again next year.

Miffed by deal for ‘Drive-In’ movies

Open letter: To SJCLTAC members, Dona Wuthnow, Maddie Ovenell, and the Fair Board:

As neighbors of the Fairgrounds, many of us for 30-40 years, we take a dim view of the proposed Drive-In Movie Theatre for which the Parks & Fairgrounds Dept. was awarded a $25,000 grant from the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee.

The Parks & Fairgrounds director and the Fairgrounds manager have come up with and pursued this idea without ever com-municating with neighbors about it or allowing discus-sion concerning the impacts and feasibility of the plan, at the very least, this omission is inconsiderate and shows very poor planning, placing “the cart before the horse.”

For many years, com-munication between Fairground management and neighbors has been excellent. We as neighbors have always been included in new ideas that will have an impact on our quality of life in our homes. With this sort of communications, the neighborhood as a whole thrives.

Based on this planning omission, we are asking for a reassessment of this pro-

posal and granting of funds by the County Council (LTAC?) until the neighbors can have the opportunity to be informed and comments be made.

Please respond to this request before we all lose on an idea that may not be successful and therefore be a waste of time, energy and resources, including hard-earned money by folks that provide lodging on these islands.

Friday Harbor

It’s our 40th; and you’re invited

It’s 4:30 in the morning and still very dark when the crew for Aeronautical Services shows up at the sort ramp in Anacortes. If all goes as planned, UPS trucks will soon arrive bringing their daily load of UPS packages from Seattle distribution centers.

By 7 a.m. those packages will have been sorted from

trailers into Aeronautical trucks bound for ferries to Guemes, Lopez, Orcas and Friday Harbor, where the packages will again be sorted by island person-nel into smaller trucks for final delivery to the cus-tomer. This must also be coordinated with aircraft departing Anacortes car-rying “Air Parcels” and scheduled to arrive at each island just in time to link up with Aeronautical’s driv-ers before they begin their delivery routes.

The routine has varied over the years, but begin-ning with Les and Marilyn Labar and one small aircraft, Aeronautical Services has without interruption pro-

vided the San Juan Islands with this service since 1973.

In recognition of the past 40 years, Aeronautical will be hosting an anniversary celebration Saturday, the 10th of August, between the hours of noon and 3 p.m. at our Friday Harbor office, located at the airport. We wish to extend an open invi-tation to all who would care to join us.

Come meet our staff, reacquaint yourself with an employee from the past, enjoy something to eat or just stop by for the cake and coffee.

Editorial

Correct callProponents of the Gateway Pacific Terminal

at Cherry Point called the breadth and depth of the scoping report for the Environmental

Impact Statement “unprecedented”.It should be. To unprecedented, we’d add the

qualifiers justified and wise.The boos and the applause for the scoping

report could be expected, but many people, and this paper, are waiting to see the EIS, which will be instrumental in a host of local, state and fed-eral decisions about whether the project should proceed, and if so, what measures will be put in place to protect our natural resources.

We hope and trust that the three-headed consortium (the U.S. Corps of Engineers, the Washington Department of Ecology and Whatcom County) will do their jobs with dili-gence and skill.

But everyone should also start thinking about what happens if the project is stopped by one or more of the government entities, by legislative action or courtroom litigation, or by chang-ing economic conditions during the long years ahead. A final EIS is two years out, or more.

For better or worse, the Gateway Pacific Terminal is a significant economic development factor to the future of the Northwest. If this proj-ect does not happen, we who live and work here cannot just pick up and move.

As the pro and con arguments flow, alterna-tive economic development plans for the Cherry Point site and for the region should be consid-ered.

Let’s not put all our eggs in one basket.

Guest Column

Air ambulance: above and beyond

By Larry Wall

Since the first settlers came to San Juan Island, com-munity members have counted on each other for help in time of need. Whether it was raising children or

raising a barn, islanders have always helped each other. The same was true for medical care. Patients needing advanced care were transported by any means possible.

In 1947, Roy Franklin, a legendary aviation pioneer, along with Dr. Malcolm Heath, provided air medical evacu-ations for island residents. This predates the other civilian air medical programs anywhere in the United States.

Since 1977, San Juan Island Emergency Medical System has been providing compassionate care for island residents and visitors. Because local healthcare was limited, EMS providers became very proficient at caring for the sick and injured. Patients with significant illness or injury needed to be flown off island and there were limited means to accomplish that mission.

Today, medical care providers and patients have options for transportation off island. While a trauma helicopter can service this region, that option is risky and expensive.

In the U.S. in 2008, there were 15 air medical helicopter accidents resulting in 29 fatalities.

In 2007, San Juan Island EMS joined forces with Island Air to create Island Air Ambulance which provided county residents and visitors with basic life support transport in an airplane. In cases requiring advanced life support, however, San Juan Island EMS had to send its only paramedic (a highly trained emer-gency medical provider) on the flight; therefore that medic was unavailable for other island emergencies.

Because of this, San Juan Island EMS decided to upgrade the air ambulance service by adding critical care flight nurses to provided advance life support transport. Also, to maintain an air medical license in the state of Washington, San Juan Island EMS and Island Air Ambulance needed to be accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of

Medical Transport Systems. In April of 2013, San Juan Island EMS/Island Air Ambulance received full CAMTS accreditation as a critical care transport program.

Today most patients requiring air medical transport from San Juan Island fly with Island Air Ambulance. This service results in no out-of-pocket costs to residents of San Juan Island, Pearl Island, Brown Island, Henry Island, Stuart Island, Johns Island and Spieden Island. These islands are all part of the taxing district which supports San Juan Island EMS.

Island Air Ambulance uses a Cessna 207, outfitted with a specialized stretcher system approved for air medical transport. The aircraft allows transport of the patient, two medical attendants, pilot, and an additional passenger when flight logistics allow. The aircraft is certified for both visual flight rules (VFR) and instrument flight rules (IFR) flight. EMS pilots, provided by Island Air, average over 12,000 hours of flight experience.

San Juan Island EMS employs the latest technology and protocols to meet the best practice standards in the air med-ical industry. The medical staff includes critical care nurses, critical care flight paramedics, and specially qualified flight EMTs to provide fast, and safe air ambulance flights to the mainland.

As I See It

By Mike Kaill, Ph.D.

Dear Governor Inslee:I am a retired fish and game biologist and for-

mer professor of biology. For the past 10 years or so, I have managed a 400-gal-

lon aquarium, for the Port of Friday Harbor, on a dock in Friday Harbor. About five years ago, we noticed that many of the creatures were dying. I obtained a test kit and found high levels of toxics in the stormwater that enters the harbor from town streets.

Plumbing modifications were made in some local busi-nesses, and the problem was markedly improved — Friday Harbor stormwater was not doing harm to the aquarium.

In recent years, the problem has reappeared, but I am unable to make any headway in getting corrective action.

For several reasons, I have cut back my testing to turbid-ity, which is a good catch-all for other problems. Turbidity measures the amount of “stuff ” suspended in the water, which might include heavy metals, grease and other car gunk, silt, animal waste, and more. The other test that I do, when suds are evident, is detergents (surfactants).

Surfactants are quite toxic to many animals, including fish. I have filed an ERTS (Environmental Report Tracking System, #460900) report with the Department of Ecology. I understand that department has undergone extensive cutbacks, and so I am reluctant to nag them to take action on my behalf.

They probably have very serious issues to deal with (though of course I think my situation is serious, too).Here is my case:

I do not recall ever taking turbidity data, during rain, that was not above the DOE violation level of 5 FTU. Readings are commonly well above that. During two rain storms at the end of June (the last significant rain), turbidity levels were over 200 NTU, over 40 times the violation level.

The surfactants that I measured were around 3.0 p.m., twice the amount needed to kill a rainbow trout (LD50) [Practical Fish Toxicity Test Report, 2007; Environmental Partners, Issaquah.]

Salmon, closely related to trout, use the near-shore for shelter and forage. There is a lot of water coming from the storm drain during heavy rains. The silt settles to the bot-tom with all its toxic load, as can be seen in the aquarium.

Administrators of the Town of Friday Harbor have main-tained that there is no problem. For comparison, I took some samples into the town water treatment laboratory, and ran them with the town technicians. The differences were a few units, not significant at the magnitudes of the data.

If it was raining, turbidity was in violation by both town and my test results. Here is what I would like to see happen:

n Straw, cloth, or other material to slow and filter high-flow stormwater. This especially at construction sites.

n Low impact stormwater pollution control designed into new/reworked street and building projects.

n Apply for grant funding to pay for stormwater control projects. DOE has offered help with this.

n Begin comprehensive planning to deal with stormwater pollution. Planning was initiated when the first rain garden was begun, as a community project. It is not clear where this is now.

Governor Inslee, it seems that I have been engaged in this struggle for half my life. In fact, it is over 10 years, and I am tired. I am going to quit. As a last gasp (I am pretty old) I am writing you.

If you chose to help me and my cause, thank you. In any case, thank you for the good job you are doing.

— Editor’s note: Friday Harbor’s Mike Kaill has managed the aquarium at Spring Street Landing under contract with the Port of Friday Harbor for the past 10 years.

Sixgill in museum spotlight

Contributed file photo / Sharalyn Lehman

Children ponder the sight of a sixgill shark that washed up on the beach of Griffin Bay’s Argyle Lagoon, June 26.

It’s been about five weeks or so since a massive sixgill shark — a 12-foot long female — washed up on the beach at Argyle Lagoon.

If you’ve been wondering what that was all about, well, The Whale Museum just may be the place to find some answers.

On Wednesday, that’s today, the museum will host Dr. Shawn Larson of the Seattle Aquarium in the next edition of its summer lecture series. Larson’s presentation gets under way at the museum at 7 p.m., admission is free.

Curator of Seattle Aquarium’s conservation research pro-gram for the past 18 years, Larson, who earned a doctorate at the U of W School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, leads a research program that spans 14 projects focused not only on the biology of the Sixgill shark, but on octopus, rockfish, sea otters, Hawaiian reef fish and sea turtles as well.

Also known as cowsharks, Sixgills are deep-water crea-tures that typically inhabit the outer ocean and that are at home in depths of up to 3,000 feet.

Slow-moving yet deadly, they prey on large fish and

other sharks by methodically sidling up next to an intend-ed target and then attack with an enormous burst of speed.

None of which explains how or why that Sixgill ended up stranded at Argyle Lagoon.

Seattle’s Greta Matassa may just be the greatest jazz singer you’ve never heard.

If so, here’s your chance. Matassa will step into the spotlight of San Juan Community Theatre

stage Saturday, Aug. 10, to deliver a sure-fire scintillating performance, beginning at 8 p.m.

Renowned for a unique versatility and her smooth vocals, Matassa has been named “Northwest Vocalist of the Year” six times over the past 15 years by Earshot, Seattle’s premier jazz magazine. Her vocals have been compared to those of numerous famed jazz singers, including Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday and Sarah Vaughn. She’s been proclaimed a “Seattle treasure” by The Seattle Times, which also noted that Matassa, “can give Ms. Streisand a run for it!”

Raised in a household with jazz-loving parents and plenty of jazz music around the house, Matassa’s fascination with musical genre began at an early age. A self-taught vocalist, she has released eight CDs over the course of her career, including “I Wanna be Loved”, produced by Resonance Records, which became a fixture at the top of the national

jazz charts and was regularly featured on jazz radio stations for nearly three months.

“I really liked the music from the ‘30s and ‘40s… early Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday,” Matassa says. “I used to listen to a lot of Fred Astaire, and a lot of Frank Sinatra.”

The theatre’s busi-ness partner for the Matassa concert is Robert Hare Stavers Photography. Tickets, $26 for adults, $13 for student reserved, $5 student RUSH (day of the show) are available at the theatre box office, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays, or online at, www.sjctheatre.org.

Every so often someone comes along with a fresh idea for the County Fair. Some stick, and then evolve into a regular event, and somewhere along the way that event then turns into one of

the fair’s favorite features. Many islanders can recall, for example, a time when there was no

Zucchini 500. It’s true. San Juan County’s Fairly Outrageous

Trashion Fashion Show, heartwarm-ing, homespun, inspired and some-what absurd, and most appropriately named, is just such an event.

Last year’s production hit a high-note in both costuming and atten-dance, and, it’s safe to say, proved to be the most outrageous of shows to date.

Spun from straw into gold by founder Francie Hansen, Trashion Fashion, now enters its sixth year, takes the concept of the Bravo Channel’s “Project Runway” to a whole different level, wherein pretty much any discarded, recy-clable or throw-away item might end up somehow attached to a garment of any of the many contestants, whom, we might add, have become increasing

fond of silly stage names as of late. This year, however, the show must go

on, as they say, without Hansen, who will be on the East Coast during Fair week. Inheriting the role as Trashion Fashion den mother this year is Betty Wilde, of Friday Harbor’s LUSH Hair & Nails, who, with oodles of fashion show experience, is no stranger to herding contestants on a catwalk.

Still, Wilde says that she has no inten-tion of reinventing the wheel or to mess with success, and that, with exception of the a few more modern tunes for the show’s soundtrack, this year’s “up-cycling” competition should go pretty much like those before.

Sounds like outrageously good fortune for the show itself. Showtime is Wednesday, Aug. 14, 8 p.m., on the Main Stage.

program series, “Connections: The Far West and Civil War”, which explores the relationships between the American Civil War, the San Juan Islands and Pacific Northwest.

All programs take place at San Juan Island Library, except for the Life and Times of General George Pickett, at San Juan Community Theatre, Aug. 7.

Wellman’s talk explores the lives that American

Camp officers such as James W. Forsyth, and George E. Pickett and what they left behind: namely First Nations and American Indian wives and the chil-dren they fathered. She utilizes nearly two decades of metic-ulous research to tell a poignant story of these relationships and legacies that remain to this day.

George Pickett, for example, married a Northwest Coast woman (tribe unknown) with whom he had a son, James Tilton Pickett.

When his wife died a few months after child-birth, Pickett gave the boy to a mainland family while he went east on leave and then came to San Juan Island during the boundary dispute.

He left the child behind for good when he departed for Virginia and eventual brigade and

division command in the Army of Northern Virginia.

After his death in 1875, Pickett’s third wife, LaSalle Corbell Pickett, with whom he had two children, deeded Pickett’s Washington Territory properties to James Pickett. But in so doing she claimed that she and her surviving son, George Pickett, II, were the only legitimate heirs, which James disputed in Whatcom County Superior Court documents.

Wellman will also discuss Forsyth’s descen-dants, some now members of the Lummi Nation, as well as Indian descendants of other Northwest Boundary Survey officials, such as Dr. Caleb Kennerly.

The program is free. Call San Juan Island National Historical Park, 360-378-2240, ext. 2233, or the library, 360-378-2798, for more information.

Writer, historian and conservationist Bruce-Brown will conclude the Civel War lecture series Saturday, Aug. 17. All programs are free of charge, thanks to a $500 grant to the library from the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.

ANSWERS TO PUZZLES

Henry G. Curtis died July 19 in Vancouver, Wash. sur-rounded by his loving children and his loving dog, Fabio.

He was born April 26, 1926 in Idaho Falls, Idaho. He spent his childhood in southern Idaho, graduating from Boise High School in 1944. He enlisted in the Navy in the fall of 1943 and participated in officer training and engi-neering programs at the University of Minnesota, graduat-ing in 1946.

He was on active duty through 1947. He studied English at the University of Idaho, where he met his future wife, Lynette Davis. They were married after graduation in 1948.

After college, they lived in Missoula, Mont., and various Northwest cities to which his work as a news reporter took them. As a Naval Reservist, he went to China during the Korean War. His three children were born in Twin Falls, Idaho, Bremerton, Wash., and Seattle, Wash. The family lived in Boise, Idaho from 1956 to 1968. He worked as the news director of KBOI TV/radio, and later had a public relations business of his own.

He obtained a pilot license and was able to combine his career and his love of flying. In 1968 he became manager of the Northwest Public Power Association in Vancouver. He and Lynn developed an interest in sailing and moved to San Juan Island in 1977 after his semi-retirement. There they were active in community affairs, especially

the San Juan Community Theater, of which he wrote a history. They enjoyed cruising British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast and throughout Puget Sound. They traveled widely, visiting China in 1980, the Soviet Union, Egypt, Costa Rica, Mexico, and several other parts of the world.

Hank and Lynn returned to Vancouver in 2003. He was active in the Democratic Forum and wrote columns for the Villager, his com-

munity newsletter, and they contin-ued to travel, often with the Fairway

Village Travel Club. Lynn passed away in Oct., 2011. His sweet dog Fabio kept him company after her death.

Survivors include his daughter Donnelyn (Charles Drewes) of Reno, Nev.; son Geoffrey (Kimm) of White Salmon; daughter Nancy of Olympia; grandchildren Ellen Drewes in San Francisco, Bowen Drewes (Kathy) of Reno, and Will Drewes, in San Francisco.

A celebration of his life will be held at the Fairway Village clubhouse, Aug. 24, at 4 p.m. Memorial contributions may be made to the Clark County Historical Museum.

Judith Arlene Nash, 73, of Friday Harbor, Wash. passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 17, 2013 with family and friends by her side.

She was born Feb. 7, 1940 in Everett Wash. and graduated from high school in 1958.

J u d y a t t e n d e d P a c i f i c Lu t h e r a n University to study nursing. While traveling with her parents, Arthur and Leona Gartland, they visited the San Juan Islands and she eventually moved to Friday Harbor, where she met Kenneth Nash and they were married in 1962.

When the Islands Convalescent Center opened in 1967, Judy was the first LPN to work there. She cared for people there for many years. Judy also worked at Inter Island Medical Center as an LPN

and EMT. She always enjoyed read-

ing, container gardening, playing bridge, traveling, cooking, garage sales and sewing. Most of all, she enjoyed being with fam-ily and friends. Christmas time was her favorite time of the year, when she would always "spoil" you rotten.

She is survived by her two children, Kevin and Kay, daughter in-law Eva and step-grandchildren Travis and Nicole.

Judy will always be remembered for her kind, generous and humanitar-ian ways. Judy would do anything for anyone who asked, a "mother" to all of her children's friends, she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Arrangements are in the care of Evans Funeral Chapel and Crematory, Anacortes, Wash. and the San Juan Islands. To share memories of Judy, please sign the online guest reg-ister at www.evanschapel.com.

NOTIFICATION OF INTENT TO OBTAIN CUSTODY.

Per RCW 79.100, San Juan County intends to take custody of the two derelict vessels; an 8’ blue dinghy in Deer Harbor, with no registration or WN # on August 16th, 2013 and a 32’ gray wooden Etchel racing sloop with no WN# or registration named ‘Mickey’ in Friday Harbor. The vessels are being left at their moorages in San Juan County. The vessels are abandoned and in poor condition, as well as moored illegally. The vessel ‘Mickey’ has DNR buoy numbers that DNR denies having issued. After taking custody, San Juan County may use or dispose of these vessels without further notice. Owners of these vessels are unknown.To retain custody of either of these vessels before the Custody Date, the owner must: 1) contact the coordi- nator below, and either 2) repair the vessel and legally moor it, or 3) remove the vessel from the water. To redeem either vessel once San Juan County has taken custody, per RCW 53.08.320 (5) (b), the owner must commence a lawsuit to contest San Juan County’s decision to obtain custody of the vessel, or the amount of reimbursement owed, in the superior court of the county in which the vessel was located. The written request can be submitted immediate- ly but cannot be filed any later than the tenth day after the date of custody, which will be January 28, 2013. The right to a hearing is deemed waived if a request is submitted late, and the owner is liable for any costs owed to San Juan County. These costs may include all administrative costs incurred by San Juan County, removal and disposal costs, and costs associated with environmental damages directly or indirectly caused by the vessel. In the event of litigation, the prevailing party is entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. San Juan County reserves the right to pursue any other remedies available under law.

Keeping an eye on local Orca whales

Above, L54 and her three o� spring are shown as a family tree. � e matriarch, L54, is at the

top, with her descendants below, eldest to young-est from le� to right. L117, whose sex is unknown, is the youngest of L54’s calves, born in 2010. New born calves o� en have a grey and mo� led look-ing saddle patch. Because calves stay close to their mothers for the � rst year or so of their life, they are o� en identi� ed by their association with their mother rather than their saddle patch. To identify older individual whales, look closely at the details of the saddle patch of each animal in the subgroup. Every orca whale has a distinct and unique saddle patch, much like a human � ngerprint, unlike any other whale in the world. — Center for Whale Research

Orca eyepatches are also an important marking used for identi� cation. Eyepatches, the white

patch above the eye, are unique to individuals just like saddle patches. Sometimes we can’t get a good look at the saddle patch, say when a whale spyhops, but we can use the eyepatch instead to identify the individual. � is eyepatch photo is of the newest calf in L pod L119.— Center for Whale Research

Eyepatches are important, too!

Whales of any � ecies can be individually recognized by their natural shapes and

color pa� erns using a technique called “photo-identi� cation” that was pioneered in the 1960’s and 70’s by biologists at San Juan Island’s Cen-ter for Whale Research. � e local “killer whales”, now a� ectionately known as Orca, are among the most distinctively appearing whales in the world, and many individuals can be easily recognized by naturalists and admirers of wildlife. To assist with this recognition, a photo-identi� cation catalogue of every individual orca whale common to the Pa-ci� c Northwest has been maintained by biologists at the Center since 1976, and it is updated every year.

As a result of this cataloguing some

very remarkable facts have been uncovered about the local Orca whales and about their � ecies world-wide. For example, their natural lifespan is long (comparable to human lifespan to eighty or more years) and they travel in family groups (known as “pods”) swimming 75 miles per day on average. � ree of these family groups, designated J,K, and L pods, are frequently seen travelling back and forth around the San Juan Islands from May to October; and, they have been termed “resident”. Other family groups and individuals are typically less frequently seen around the San Juan Islands; and, they have

been termed “transient”. From long-term observation and genetic studies it has been learned that the “residents” and “transients” do not mix and interbreed – they are very, very distant relatives, somewhat analogous to Humans and Neanderthals but both living at the same time, and in th e same general area.

In fact, when we extend these individual and ge-netic studies we � nd that there are probably ten or more distantly related large branches of the Orca family tree worldwide that do not naturally mix or interbreed, and they have been on this planet much longer than we Humans have. Sci-entists are just now trying to determine whether this arrangement constitutes a complex of many � ecies, and why. Nonetheless, we have a very pre-cious “resident” population here in the San Juans, and they have been recently a� rmed as Endan-gered under the US Endangered Species Act and Canada’s Species at Risk Act.

� e questions are out there, from deep pon-dering about the roles that � ecies play in the web of life on Earth, to what time will the whales be seen at Lime Kiln whale-watch park. We do not yet have all of the answers, but if we keep our eye on the welfare of our precious local Orca whales we may just have a chance to � nd out how “our”

world works, and maybe we will be smart enough to keep it working.

In future editions of these Whale Pages, we will provide additional information about our famous Orca whales.

The Center for Whale Research maintains a detailed photographic catalog of the Southern Resi-dent Killer whales that frequent these waters dating back to the early 1970’s. � e Center also

documents the whales’ social structure, regionsal travel pa� erns, and feeding and foraging strategies throughout coastal waters from British Columbia to California. For more information visit the cen-ter’s website at www.whaleresearch.com. – Ken Balcomb, Director of Center For Whale Research
