Hot sunny weather, end-of-weekend urgency (especially with tired youngsters) and less-than-timely information increased the impatience and frustration for many weekend travelers trying to depart San Juan Island.

Backups began on Saturday when the Evergreen State, being used as the inter-island boat, went dead in the water about 11 a.m. off Friday Harbor. The generator for one of two die-sel-electric engines reportedly malfunctioned, setting off an automatic kill switch to both engines.

The Klahowya didn’t replace the Evergreen State until Sundayv after 3 p.m., then apparently went to Lopez and Orcas, maybe back to Anacortes, and finally made it to Friday Harbor at 8 p.m. to take the Lopez and Orcas cars to their destinations. The Yakima arrived in Friday Harbor about 8 p.m. to take a full load of cars to Anacortes, leaving at about 8:30 p.m.

Ferry fails, tempers rise

By Steve WehrlyJournal Reporter

It’s a good day when somebody else wants to pay for just one project in San Juan County. So it’s “double your pleasure” day for San Juan and Lopez islands when state and federal offi-cials announced they’ll pay for projects in each location.

On San Juan, the Washington state ferry sys-tem, and everyone else, has noticed the crowds at Front and East streets. Ferry “walk-offs” spill into the street and crowd the sidewalks, lurching in front of cars and holding up traffic as they head in all directions when coming off the ferry.

Friday Harbor Administrator Duncan Wilson said the corner of Front and East streets “is the only place in town where people and cars need another few degrees of separation so somebody doesn’t get hurt.”

Fix in store for ferry landing

By Cali BagbyStaff reporter

During the summer, Wolf Hollow Rehabilitation Center resembles the emergency ward at a hospital. There is a room for x-rays and blood tests and quarters for injured “patients” that will be released as soon as they are healthy. Outside, a giant white board lists the types of patients currently in care at the center.

“It changes all the time,” said Shona Aitken, Wolf Hollow’s edu-cation coordinator. “It’s baby sea-

son, that’s why we have so many animals right now.”

But, unlike a hospital, the white board describes ducklings, seal pups, bald eagles, raccoon kits, baby minks and finches instead

of listing patients in need of an appendectomy or tonsillectomy. And unlike the ER, volunteers, staff and interns busy themselves

Inter-island boat breakdown causes widespread delays

Who’s the Best?

But Mike Barnes of Anchor Management Services, which operates the Friday Harbor ferry land-ing, said, after loading two ferries bound for Anacortes late Sunday afternoon, “these were the worst delays

I’ve seen since I started with the ferry system in 1991.”

Barnes may have been referring specifically to ferry patrons waiting to depart Friday Harbor for Lopez or Orcas islands. James Stratford and Tim and Miriam Rash had been waiting to return home to Lopez since 10:30 a.m., Sunday; they didn’t get on

a ferry until 8 p.m.Stratford, a licensed

Merchant Marine ship master, was not happy but philosophical when two ferries in a row took cars for Anacortes, but left him and his wife in line for Lopez.

“I understand the crew of that last boat had been working for 12 hours and needed to be relieved according to Coast Guard rules,” he said. “Safety is paramount, but there are exceptions for unexpected circumstances. I just don’t know if this circumstance qualifies.”

Alex Martinez, her hus-band and their three kids

were in the middle of vaca-tion from Long Island, New York. Alex, a child-care writer, was still smiling when she recounted, “We were eight hours late get-ting to Seattle from New York. On our way here, we thought were leaving crowds, traffic and trouble behind, coming to the idyl-lic San Juan Islands to take it easy and relax. Now we’ve been waiting for five hours to move on to Orcas. It’s part of the trip, I realize, but it’s not fun.”

Weekender Craig Matheson, also from Seattle, had a similar story. “I kind of expected a problem, like happened on the 4th of July, but nobody’s telling us anything unless we ask. I’m most frustrated about the lack of accurate informa-tion. At noon, I’m told to expect to get on a ferry to Anacortes at 3:30. Now at 5:30, I’m told I’ll be waiting until seven or later.”

The international run to Sydney was not affect-ed and was on time both directions. But Brendan Jensen, a Renton hospital worker, was incensed when the Chelan discharged cars from Sydney but didn’t load Friday Harbor traffic for Anacortes.

Zack Akin, crew chief loading ferries in Friday Harbor, said, “People were great until about four or five o’clock. Sure people are upset, especially people going to Orcas and Lopez who have been waiting around since 10 or 11 a.m. Most people expect delays in summer, but they want correct information and they get frustrated when the information keeps changing.”

Obituaries

Merna Mae Guard: 1940 — 2012Merna Mae Guard passed away July 31, 2012 at her home

in Bermuda Dunes, Calif., after several bouts with cancer. She was born Jan. 3, 1940, the daughter of John and

Merle Jackson. She was raised in the home they built above Jackson’s Lagoon, near the salmon cannery they worked hard to establish and operate in the 1950s.

Merna was a member of the graduating class of 1958 from Friday Harbor High School. She married Dick Guard in 1961. They had two daughters, Coral and Toni.

For a number of years, Merna worked at San Juan County Bank, on Spring Street. Later, she was partnered with Jim Erickson and did bookkeeping for Friday Harbor Freight Line.

Merna was very active in the San Juan Island Dixieland Jazz Festival and co-chaired this annual event for several years.

For the last 20 years, Merna lived in Palm Desert, Calif. She enjoyed golfing, having learned the game when her folks established the San Juan golf course.

Merna is survived by her daughters, Coral and Toni, grandchildren, Sarah and Dylan Galligan, Jacque, Jonnie, and Lana Olsen, Trevor Guard, Amber Beeston, and Tyler McKee; her great grand children, Drake Guard, Cocora,

and Lotus Lowe; her long-time partner, David “Skip” Rowland, and her brother, Terry Jackson.

Preceding Merna in death, were her husband, Dick, her partner, Jim; her parents, John and Merle, and her grandson, Jeffery Beeston.

Merna’s wishes were for her ashes to be interned in the Valley Cemetery on San Juan Island. Her family will plan a celebration of Merna’s

of life at the time of internment. A scholarship fund is being established to be given to

any Friday Harbor graduate who wishes to pursue further training in either music or golf course administration and maintenance. Memorials to this scholarship in Merna’s honor can be sent to 640 Adams Street, Port Townsend, WA 98368.

With the San Juan Islands just beyond Bellingham Bay, Bill McGown believes Whatcom County residents who haven’t made a trip to see their island neigh-bors to the west are missing chances at both business and leisure.

“I’m always surprised when I meet locals who have never been to the San Juan Islands,” said McGown, owner and operator of Leap Frog Water Taxi. “I’m just like, ‘Are you crazy?’”

McGown, who lives in Bellingham but owns a cabin on Lopez Island, start-ed the small ferry company in fall 2011 after realizing island residents wanted a direct route to Whatcom County that would let them bypass a ferry trip south to Anacortes. But as he’s tried to fill this practical need, he’s found a greater motiva-tion: bridging a new con-nection between Whatcom and the San Juans.

Leap Frog carries pas-sengers to a variety of des-tinations in the islands, a number of which not accessible by other modes of transportation such as the Washington state ferry system.

One-way fares for the water taxi, which is based out of the Bellingham Cruise Terminal, vary from $23 to $85 based on a trip’s length, according to the company’s website. McGown also offers a 10-ride punch card to frequent passengers that can save them 15 percent on fares.

TAKING THE LEAPOn a rainy Friday morn-

ing at the floating dock outside the Bellingham ter-minal, McGown waits as his 32-foot aluminum boat named “Andiamo” — Italian for “let’s go”— idles in the water.

As the four passengers on this morning’s run begin to arrive, McGown takes their bags and other gear, then sets off from the harbor.

Stephen Koch from the San Francisco Bay area and Jenny Light from Redmond, Wash., are headed to a vacation cabin on Blakley, an island south of Orcas Island.

Light said she had trav-

eled on Leap Frog before and found McGown’s straight shot to the San Juans more convenient than other options.

“It’s been great so far,” Light said. “[Leap Frog] works because it’s easier.”

McGown said vacationers and adventurers make up a portion of his passenger base. But his main traffic has come from people liv-ing on the islands, as well as travelers making the final legs of their trips to the San Juans after arriving at the Bellingham International Airport or at the Amtrak and Greyhound stops in Fairhaven Station.

In addition to Leap Frog, other companies, including Paraclete Charter Service of Anacortes and San Juan Islands Water Taxi of Friday Harbor, run similar ferry services—although McGown is the only oper-ator currently based in Bellingham.

Barbara Marrett, com-munications manager with the San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau, said water taxis are particularly useful to people traveling to the islands by plane or train.

“They just allow a kind of flexibility that you don’t have when you rely on the [state] ferry,” Marrett said. “It’s a way for them to get here without renting a car and taking the ferry — it’s very direct.”

About half an hour into the Friday morning trip, McGown reaches over from behind the boat’s wheel and slides opens a side window, allowing a roaring breeze to come off the water and into the cabin.

The interior of the Leap Frog craft has green booths and tables running along either side. It could com-fortably seat about a half-dozen people or so, though the boat itself — with addi-

tional open-air seating in the rear — is licensed to carry up to 12 passengers.

While McGown drives, he tracks weather changes on his iPhone, takes calls for future pick-ups, tweets and checks his email. As a one-man operation spend-ing most days on the water, McGown has to play recep-tionist as much as pilot — essentially turning his boat into a floating command center.

Along choppy water, Leap Frog approaches the morn-ing’s first stop at Sinclair Island. McGown is drop-ping off two passengers: a man and a woman carry-ing suitcases, water and a Styrofoam cooler.

On this side of Sinclair, a small island east of the San Juans, there’s no dock. Instead, McGown is drop-ping the pair inside a small boat tied to a buoy a few hundred feet offshore. From there, they will wait for a friend to row out and meet them.

Leap Frog makes drop-offs in a variety of locations. The boat can run right up on a beach, McGown said, provided the shoreline is not too steep and no large rocks or other obstructions

are in the area. This aspect has come

in handy when McGown makes runs for kayak groups or custom trips for people hauling heavy cargo such as building or landscaping materials.

After seeing his Sinclair passengers off, McGown carefully turns his boat around and heads toward Blakley Island. According to his instruments, the water underneath the vessel at the drop-off point was just five feet deep.

“It verges on the sketchy side,” he said. “This is prob-ably one of the funkier plac-

es to land.”The stop at Blakley is eas-

ier, with a small empty dock giving McGown plenty of space to pull in. The entire trip took a little over an hour.

TUNING THE LEAP FROG MODEL

Leap Frog is designed to run year-round, but McGown said he plans take some time off in December and January. After his first full year, the water taxi’s business model will likely need some retooling, he said.

with tasks like feeding the seal pups or slicing up fresh roadkill or examining an injured songbird.

Aitken said it takes two full-time staff, two seasonal staff, five interns and on any given day one to two vol-unteers to run the center during these

busy months.Wolf Hollow, located on

San Juan Island, has served San Juan and Skagit County for the past 30 years. The 40-acre property hosts 40 animal enclosures, includ-ing an eagle flight enclosure, seal pools, a deer enclosure, and a songbird aviary.

So far this year, Wolf Hollow has treated 435 ani-mals. Some are with Wolf Hollow for only a few days,

while others need care for several months.

One recent case was a seal pup found on Orcas Island with bloody punc-ture wounds on its head. It joined several other pups, who spend their days bob-bing around the center’s pool, poking their heads out of the water to stare curi-ously with black, bright eyes at their surroundings.

“These pups will be released in small groups when they get up to normal weaning weight [50 pounds] in the wild,” Aitken said.

In a small room across from the pools is the seal pup nursery. There are no baby rattles or pink mobiles dangling from the ceiling. Instead there are several bath tubs with wooden tops that do actually resemble the walls of a crib.

When the two pups, now in the pool, first came to Wolf Hollow, they spent every night tucked into these tubs because they were too weak or sick to swim all day, said Aitken. As they became stronger they could swim for a few hours each day. Now that

they are in good health they stay in the water for 24 hours and eat fish on their own off the bottom of the pool.

Beyond the nursery is 40 acres with numerous cages tucked into heavily wood-ed areas, so the creatures feel at home while they recover from their injuries. A young bald eagle stands in the corner of his cage like a man with a large cloak wrapped around his shoulders. When the eagle gets healthier he will be moved to the flight cage, a 140-foot-long and 20-foot-high enclosure that will help him get back to the air. The flight cage is a unique structure because it is built at an angle, allowing for

birds to practice turning in air, said Aitken.

Another cage quite a dis-tance away is home to sev-eral young mallard ducks, who will be released when their flight feathers grow in.

“So they can get away from predators,” Aitken said.

And beyond that there’s the raccoon cage where seven fuzzy black and white faces crouch together.

Some people may not like the idea of the center reha-bilitating animals that are in an over abundance on the islands like deer, raccoons and rabbits, but Aitken said Wolf Hollow doesn’t dis-criminate when it comes to the animals they treat.

Only a few animals have

suffered injuries that have left them unable to return to the wild – a rough-legged and red-tailed hawk are used as education animals at schools and summer camps. As education coordinator, Aitken’s job is to help peo-ple learn more about local wildlife and human impacts on these animals and their habitats.

Aitken hopes the animals at Wolf Hollow may inspire people to “just simply be aware.”

For instance, cutting down a tree during nesting season may cause unnec-essary songbird deaths or

injuries when it is easy to cut down a tree in the fall or winter, she said.

She also wants people to know that Wolf Hollow is there when you need them.

“Maybe their cat brings in a songbird, their dog chases and injures a baby raccoon, a small hawk flies into their window or a they hit an owl when they are driving home one night,” said Aitken. “They then realize that we provide a service not just to the wild animals, but also to the people in the local com-munity.”

Development Permit to reconstruct the sidewalks and replace the signage at the corner of East and Front Streets. On Thursday, the Friday Harbor Town Council scheduled a special meeting at noon Aug. 14 to consider the shoreline development permit.

On Lopez, the pavement on the terminal trestle is wear-ing out. The U.S. Department of Transportation recently announced a $600,000 grant to rebuild and repave the trestle between the island and the ferry loading ramp.

U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Everett, praised the grant for Lopez, which was one of six grants totaling $5.8 million in federal funding for the state ferry system.

“Our ferry system needs investment,” Larsen said in a press release. “These grants will create jobs and help make sure that folks who rely on ferries are traveling safely and efficiently.”

No timetable for engineering, construction or comple-tion has been announced by the ferry system for the Lopez repair.

In Friday Harbor, the ferry system has decided to com-bine about $241,000 of federal money and nearly $63,000

of state money to rebuild the whole street corner across Front Street from Cannery Landing. New stairs, ramps, and pedestrian walkways - and lots of new signs - will be constructed in front of the historic house referred to by locals as the “Doctor’s Office.”

The ferry system says the project “will reduce vehicle/pedestrian conflicts and streamline vessel loading/offloading operations” and new informational signage “will help direct pedestrians to their desired locations.”

Town council approval of the permit for the Friday Harbor project is expected at the Aug. 14 hearing, or short-ly thereafter. Construction is scheduled to begin in spring of 2013, according to the DOT.

Administrator Wilson’s summed up his reaction: “The town will not be required to participate in the cost of the project.” And because no state or county money will be used for the Lopez project, both islands can claim a “win”.

Four local ballot measures lack ‘con’ statements

The November election pamphlet will have argu-ments for and against the proposed amendments to the County Charter, but four other ballot mea-sures will have only “pro” statements, unless county Auditor Milene Henley can find people to write “con” statements.

“Providing two sides to every argument provides an important service to the voters, and helps to ensure an informed electorate,” Henley noted in a press release calling for concerned voters to volunteer to write arguments opposing four ballot measures.

The measures with-out opposing arguments are the initiative banning

genetically modified organ-isms in San Juan County, a bond measure for the Orcas Island School District, a tech levy for the Orcas Island School District and the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District property tax funding measure.

Proposition One, pro-posed by the Charter Review Commission, which would return the County Council to three members elected county-wide in place of the six-member council provid-ed in the current Charter, has three former county commissioners arguing in favor of a three-member council.

They are Tom Cowan from Lopez, Kevin Ranker from San Juan Island, and John Evans of Orcas Island. In opposition are Art Lange of Orcas, Lola Deane of Shaw and Charlie Bodenstab of San Juan Island.

The other two Charter Review Commission prop-ositions also have a full complement of people pre-paring “for” and “against” statements.

To view the full text of any of the measures, or to express an interest in writ-ing an argument against any of them, contact Henley at (360) 370-7558, or mile-neh@sanjuanco.com.

WSF seeks input on reservation system plan

The San Juan Ferry Advisory Committee is soliciting islanders to help plan the ferry reservation system.

Ferry users “who rou-tinely use the system” are being offered a seat at the table, as David Mosely and the state Department of

Transportation figure out details of a reservation sys-tem for ferries serving the San Juan Islands.

“Please join me in part-nership as we explore this possibility together,” said Mosely, executive of the ferry system, in a press release.

Called the Community Partnership Group, the group will consist of about 20 members from all ferry-served islands. They begin meeting this fall with ferry system officials and mem-bers of the ferry advisory committee.

Preliminary schedules envision in-person and on-line meetings every six weeks for about 18 months. Participants must commit to attend-ing meetings, reviewing materials before and after meetings, using technol-ogy for online meetings

and conference calls and “be willing to explore solutions to problems identified,” according to a FAC press release.

Interested residents should send an email by Monday,

Aug. 13, to: fac@sanjuanco.com. Include contact infor-mation and a description of your interests and how you can contribute.

Yet while McGown admits he’s been “barely” profitable so far with high overhead and maintenance costs—he spent more than $12,000 on fuel alone during the first seven months of 2012—he doesn’t plan major changes.

“I think the way we came out of the starting blocks has worked well,” he said. “This is year one, and I knew I had to brace myself and prepare to spend this year working super hard and see how it washed out.”

With the total ridership he has available, McGown is optimistic his company can grow, particularly since island residents have embraced him and lent support.

“Having customers with that attitude – that’s value right there,” he said.

Letters to the Editor

Beware of CAO buffer overeach

Did you know that CAO provisions on Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas and Wetlands pending before the County Council would declare our entire shoreline to be a “critical” area, and turn shoreline setbacks into “buffers”?

Setbacks and buffers are not the same. Setbacks gov-ern where structures can be placed, but buffers govern what you are allowed to do on your land.

The new restrictions are not limited to shorelines, but also extend buffers around “streams” and wetlands, and will enable the county to regulate almost everything we do in areas of our land declared to be “buffers.”

Why should you need county permission to use your property to: walk your dog or ride your horse? Picnic near the shore or by a stream? Play softball or Frisbee during a fam-ily gathering? (“hiking” and “birdwatching” are OK.) Fly a kite or radio controlled airplane?

Rather than prohibit-ing only specific activities that are proven harmful to habitat, the proposed CAO allows structures, uses and activities in buffers only if they are specifically listed and approved. Any activ-ity that is not listed and approved in the regula-tions is prohibited, unless the owner secures a pro-visional/conditional use permit or variance, subject to additional requirements

imposed by the county. (See Table 3.10 in the FWHCA Section and Table 3.8 of the Wetland Section (cur-rent draft at http://bit.ly/OUNN6C).

It may be true that you will be allowed to “keep doing what you’re already doing,” if you can prove, to the satisfaction of the plan-ning department, that you have used the area for the specific activity prior to the CAO, that you haven’t aban-doned the activity, and the “degree of nonconformity is not increased.”

It is not too late to stop this unwarranted overreach-ing in the guise of environ-mental protection.

If you value the use of your land and the rural character of our communi-ty, call your county council representatives and attend the hearing on Aug. 21.

Big thanks to all who pitched in

The Friends of the San Juan Island Library held its 33rd annual summer book sale July 20 and 21. We were operating with some challenges this year, but a wonderful crew of island volunteers made this event a success.

We owe many thanks to the truck and van volun-teers who hauled the books from the storage unit to the high school: Mike and Rosa, Doug, Boyd and Elwin Pratt and Elwin’s friend, Thom Pence, who arrived at the storage unit by bike in the rain; John Chessell, Rich and Margaret Barker.

You moved all the boxes in record speed, and then pitched in to help with the

set up. There was another army

of volunteers who helped with the set up, cashiered during the sale, and boxed up the remainders after-wards.

Thanks to Ron and Marcia Ashbrook, Cathy and Larry Tochluk, Carol Capps, Ellen Roberts, Judy Lingerfelt, Eleanor Hartmann, Robbie Lawson, Dilys Goodman, Gary Sharp, Carolyn Haugen, Jenny Atkinson, Kathy and Randy Moss, Al and Janice Blaylock, Norma Mason, Pati Otley, Barry Jacobson, Beth Helstien, Jane Dill, Joan Kurath, Hugh and Marge Stanley, Fred and Judy Henley, John Gauthier, Rich and Margaret Barker, Thom Pence, the Friday Walkers group, and last but not least, Andy Urbach and his community service crew.

If we have left anyone out, it is due to our col-lective faulty memories and your help was much appreciated. Also, thanks to Market Place for donating bottled water and cookies for our hungry and thirsty volunteers, to Consignment Treasures for taking our left over books, and to Richard Lawson Construction for donating the truckload of gravel for our gravel raffle.

Our island community is the best. We are lucky to live here.

Editorial

Modest proposal

It’s kind of a “pedestrian” use of money from the law and justice sales tax increase on yes-terday’s primary ballot, and we don’t even

know now whether the increase was approved by the voters yesterday, but if so, we hope the town and the county will use some of the tax increase to better manage arriving ferry traffic and tour-ists, especially during summer, in Friday Harbor.

Now that the ferry system has announced it will spend some $300,000 improving pedes-trian traffic flow at the corner of Front and East streets, we think both the town and the county should also pony up and spend a small part of sales tax revenue — if it occurs (and possibly even if it does not) — to improve safety, conve-nience and livability of the core of Friday Harbor.

Spring Street, from Memorial Park to Wells Fargo Bank, is the most heavily travelled street (and sidewalk) in town. Restaurants, realtors, grocers and two dozen or so shops along here contribute to the vitality and livability — and sales tax income — of the whole town. This stretch of pavement needs attention for reasons of safety and congestion.

The Port’s working on plans to develop a boardwalk along the waterfront, the nascent Business Improvement District will soon be try-ing to beautify downtown, and the town is work-ing on a new Shoreline Master Program. Lots of people will contribute lots of good ideas if our two local governments will step up to the plate and finance those good ideas.

Maybe it’s time to vitalize Spring Street. Everyone, islanders and visitors alike, would benefit.

Distracted driving kills; here’s how

By Brad Fincher

Did you know that 25 percent of the drivers in the United States report that they regularly talk on their cell phones while driving (www.distraction.gov and

www.cdc.gov)? Did you know that the younger you are that percentage

raises dramatically to 40 percent in the age group 18-29 year olds?

We should all know by now this is dangerous and illegal. But, it gets worse.

Did you know that 9 percent of the drivers in the United States report texting or emailing regularly using their cell phones while driving? Staggeringly, 52 percent of the 18-29-year-olds reported texting while driving in the last 30 days. Texting takes your eyes off the road for almost five seconds. At 55 mph, that is like driving the length of a football field blindfolded.

To put it into Friday Harbor terms, it is like driving 20 mph on Spring Street the length of King’s Market, then through the intersection past Friday Harbor Drug Store, with pedestrians in the cross-walk, bicyclists pedaling up the hill, and cars parked in 2-hour parking spaces, all while blindfolded.

I have one more statistic. Each day, 15 people are killed in crashes that are caused by distracted drivers. To me, it is more than a statistic, because on Dec. 27, 2011, my mom was one of those 15 people.

On that day, in east Texas, a man was traveling on a two lane highway driving his three-quarter-ton pickup truck at a rate of 70 m.p.h. (which was the speed limit) and received a text, which he chose to read (determined by cell phone records and a Texas highway patrol investigation). He did not see the car in front of him at a complete stop apparently waiting to cross over traffic to get to a road-side park.

His truck rear-ended the stopped car (at 70 mph with no skid marks that would indicate breaking) killing him instantly as well as the driver of the rear-ended car. The

wreck caused the car to be shoved into on- coming traffic where it “t-boned” another car killing the passenger and severely injuring the driver of that third car.

My mom, Suzan Fincher, was the passenger in the third car, traveling with her friend to a funeral. It was two days after Christmas, and at least we got to talk on the phone Christmas day and said “I love you” before we hung up.

She died that day because someone was using their cell phone while driving. It was negligent, it was preventable, and it was not an accident.

Every day on San Juan Island I see people using their cell phones while driving. My friend, Joe Caputo, recently wrote a letter to the editor with his observations of these egregious violations. Because of my experience, I take it personally that these people violate the law endangering my family and community.

If you go to the San Juan County Fair, please stop by the San Juan Island Prevention Coalition booth. We are partnering with Right of Way Driving School to educate our community on the dangers of distracted driving and encourage drivers to put down their cell phones while driv-ing.

After all, it is the law, and you could be preventing a trag-edy and saving lives.

— Editor's note: Brad Fincher is chairman of San Juan Island Prevention Coalition. Statistics are from the two websites cited and surveys by the National Highway Safety Traffic Commission.

Each day, 15 die because of a distracted driver, a year ago, my mother became a statistic

Mr. Blanchard’s let-ter expresses con-cern that play-

ing Frisbee or flying kites won’t be allowed near wet-lands and Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas (“Beware of CAO buffer over-reach”, Aug. 8 pg. 6).

The draft Critical Areas Ordinance update lists many allowed activities in and near wetlands and FWHCAs. I’ll include the complete sentence from the CAO tables that Mr. Blanchard references:

“Outdoor recreational activities including hunt-ing and fishing (pursuant to state law), bird watching,

hiking, boating, and swim-ming.”

I think the entire County Council intends to allow for “outdoor recreational activities.” I encourage Mr. Blanchard to reference the complete draft language and to promote constructive discussion instead of being alarmist.

If ‘outdoor recreational activities’ doesn’t adequate-ly address Frisbee-playing or kite-flying, I invite him to provide suggestions for changes.

The CAO update is required by law and must comply with current law. Significant time and scarce county resources have been spent since this CAO update began in 2003. We need to complete the CAO update and I am working to develop regulations that

satisfy the law and work for our community.

I want to point out that there are changes in the draft CAO update that include some significant improvements as compared to current code from the perspective of property owner rights, including:

The draft CAO update applies only to the areas inside in the (Federal) Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) with no additional buffers. The existing code applies within 300 feet of the FIRM maps.

The draft CAO update clearly states that lawfully non-conforming structures, uses, and activities may con-tinue in perpetuity.

The current code requires that a shoreline structure that does not conform to current regu-

lations and is destroyed more than 75 percent must be rebuilt according to cur-rent regulations.

The draft CAO update allows structures that are non-conforming because of CAO regulations, even if 100 percent destroyed, to be rebuilt in the existing footprint and continue as lawfully non-conforming structures in perpetuity.

San Juan County is for-tunate to have so many citi-zens engaged in the CAO update process and I thank the Journal for providing a forum for discussion.

By WSU Beach Watchers, San Juan CountyEveryone wants to go home with Dungeness crab, and

their crab pots, after the time and effort spent in crabbing.In recent years, record numbers of Dungeness crab have

been harvested, with more than 10 million pounds of crab being taken in 2011 alone.

Each year, over 12,000 crab pots are lost. Those pots trap and kill 178,000 male, harvestable crabs annually. Each lost pot wastes $235 worth of crab, plus it takes at least $190 (of your tax dollars) to find and remove each lost pot. It is important that all recreational crabbers follow these basic rules to keep the population strong.

Keep only male crabs 6.25-inch and larger: Smaller males are responsible for most of the future generations, so taking them could reduce future harvests and impact the wildlife that depend on crab larvae for food. Sexes can be differentiated by looking at the abdomens on the crabs’ underside. The female crab’s abdomen is much broader, as it is where the female holds millions of eggs.

Measure your crab properly: Use a caliper, available at most gear or bait shops. The crab is measured on the inside of the last set of points, or tips. Taking a female or small male crab is illegal.

Use escape (rot) cord: A large percentage of recov-ered crab pots are not equipped with escape cord. Bio-

degradable cord (cotton, jute, sisal, yarn or hemp) “rots” in 2-3 months, preventing 30 legal-size crab a year from per-ishing in your pot. The dead and dying crab become bait for more crab, continuing the cycle until the pot degrades.

Weight your lines: Weighted lines sink rather than floating on the surface of the water. A passing boat will not see a floating line and can cut it as it passes over. You can either buy leaded line or purchase weights and attach those to your line. It doesn’t hurt to also weight your pot, especially if you are crabbing in areas with strong currents.

Check the water depth: Before you toss your pots over the side of the boat or dock, check the water depth with a chart or depth finder. Slowly lowering the pot until it hits the ground is a wiser choice than tossing it in and watch-ing the buoy go underwater.

Use more line: Use a line that is one-third longer than the water depth in which you are crabbing. This will ensure that you won’t lose your pot due to deep water, high tides or strong currents that pull the pot sideways as you lower it to the ground.

Steer clear of high traffic areas: Avoid ferry, log boom or commercial boat routes as these ships do not detour for crab pots.

Bill Mason, 76, died suddenly at home in Friday Harbor, Wash., on July 24, 2012.

He was born July 5, 1936 in Des Moines, Iowa, to Ralph and Elizabeth Boyer Mason. He attended Kansas State University, Augustana College and received a Bachelor of Science in environmental science from Grand Canyon College.

Bill entered the U.S. Air Force in 1957 and retired after 20 years as a lieutenant colonel. During the Vietnam War, he spent a year in Thailand and flew 200 missions in an F-4 Phantom.

Bill taught pilots at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. and com-pleted his career doing intelligence work at Kelly Air Force Base, Texas. He received many military awards, including the Distinguished Flying Cross.

He married Alberta Fitch June 18, 1960. They had two daughters and were divorced in 1980. Bill moved to Missoula, Mont. and completed all his coursework for a master's in zoology at the University of Montana.

Bill married Norma Sandberg Hober April 14, 1984. They and Norma's youngest son lived in Florence, Mont. for five years before moving to Anacortes, Wash. in 1989. Bill and Norma designed and built their dream home in Friday Harbor in 2003.

A brilliant man with many talents, Bill loved to share his passion for science and outdoor adventures with his children and grandchildren. A lifelong dog lover, he owned Weimaraners for 45 years and showed several to American and Canadian championships.

His hobbies included rockhounding, skiing, scuba div-ing, hunting, backpacking, running full and half marathons, studying quantum mechanics, flying his Cessna plane and especially sailing his Morgan 382 sailboat. For his 60th birthday, he sailed solo from Anacortes to Hawaii and back.

Bill devoted his time and talents to helping Norma fulfill her 40-year dream to find and meet her birth family in Virginia. Bill was a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, Friday Harbor Sailing Club, Anacortes Yacht Club and the Weimaraner Club of America. He volunteered as Cubmaster in Montana and for Island Rec in Friday Harbor, ushered at San Juan Community Theatre and served Thanksgiving pie at the Grange the past six years.

Survivors include his wife Norma; daughters Kathryn Mason Vanderput (John), Calgary, and Pamela Foster, Houston; stepsons Jeff Hober, San Diego, Brett Hober,

That good ol’ entrepre-neurial spirit is alive and well at the latest addition along Friday Harbor’s antique shop row.

That would be Nichols Street, where longtime islander and local busi-nessman Daniel Miller Jr., moved in two doors down from Funk & Junk and right next door to Castaways, to launch New England Cafe & Collectibles, at the end of May.

Miller Jr., acknowledg-es the cafe portion of the enterprise is still a work

in progress — snacks and beverages, chillin’ in a faux antique Coca Cola ‘fridge, are available — and assures it will be in full flight soon.

“I like antiques and food, and wanted to combine food service with collectibles,” he said of the offerings the shop provides.

But even before open-ing day, Miller Jr., was busy canvassing the island and the greater northwest Washington region in search of vintage household items, artwork, furniture and col-lectible toys, among other things, and with a little help from family and friends,

pieced together enough eye-catching inventory to create a backbone for the business.

An entrepreneur at heart, Miller Jr., who also oper-

ates a landscape business, said that New England Cafe & Collectibles stands as a foray into the retail industry and that business over the summer has been brisk.

“It’s really a fun little shop,” he said. “I like to tell people it’s not just a shop, it’s an experience.”

In addition to antiques, vintage household items, and collectibles, New England Collectibles, 115 Nichols St., also offers a wide array of glassware, artwork, furniture, toys and t-shirts, as well as pieces of barnwood furniture crafted by Dan Miller Sr.

The junior Miller believes that the location and timing is right for his latest enter-prise to succeed.

“Nichols Street is turning into quite a tourist hub,” he said.

Painting by Schaller picked for Pt. Townsend art exhibition

An oil painting by Friday Harbor artist Doris Schaller will be included in the ‘Art Port Townsend/Expressions Northwest’, the Northwind Arts Alliance and Port Townsend Arts Commission’s 14th Annual Juried Art Exhibition.

The exhibition is Aug. 3 — 26 in the seaport town of Port Townsend, Wash.

Is the island artist, who by day is supervisor of San Juan County’s Elections department, surprised by the selection? In a way, said Schaller, noting that three of her art works were in the

competition. “I guess I was surprised

by which one they chose,” she said.

Juror Rock Hushka is director of Curatorial Administration and Curator of Contemporary and Northwest Art at Tacoma Art Museum. Rock selected 67 pieces from 413 works of art submitted by artists in Washington, Alaska, Oregon, Utah, Nebraska and British Columbia.

Schaller’s work, an oil

painting entitled ‘Mountain Homestead’, was one of 67 chosen for the exhibition. It was the first time she sub-mitted a work of art for the Port Townsend festival, and one of her paintings has also been selected for an exhibi-tion of art in Anacortes.

Around TownWoodstock rewind: Summer of ‘69 music at SJCT concert seriespAge 13

What’s Happening!

See CALeNDAR, Page 12

By Scott RasmussenJournal Editor

When a band halfway around the world listens to all your music, learns all your songs, and then prepares itself just for you, the artist, to drop by, plug in and let loose on a foreign audience,

one might think you've reached a point where you can rest on your lau-rels and ease back on the throttle a bit.

Well, Lloyd Jones knows better, but he isn't taking it for granted either.

“I was invited over there by this band that has the same instrumen-tation as mine – with two horns – and they said they had learned all my stuff,” said Jones, who last year traveled twice to Denmark to play with a group of musically accomplished strangers; he plans to return in October. “And you know what, they did. It all just worked out so well.”

From his hometown of Portland, Ore., Jones has been spinning straw into musical gold for the better part of 30 years. He and his band, The Lloyd Jones Struggle, first lit up the Main Stage of the San Juan County Fair back in 2001, another gig in which those in that audience may recall “worked out” pretty darn fantastically, too.

This time around, Jones is headed back to the fair, along with his band, with more fuel in the tank, a bit of a chip on his shoulder and a new recording in tow, 2011’s “Doin’ What It Takes” (Reference Records), which, in a phrase, pretty much sums up the course that even a 10-time winner of the Cascade Blues Association's “Best R & B Act”and 2007 inductee into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame must follow to keep an acclaimed musical career on track, while banging’ out rhythm and blues

in the age of I-tunes and the Internet. Jones says that traditional routes in landing a gig or marketing a

recording have withered or fallen by the wayside over the last five years. A band leader-slash-songwriter must adapt, he said, adding motivation behind “Doin’ What It Takes” partly came from the upheaval and chaos of the music industry.

“It was a project started out of the frustration,” he said. “But I’m very delighted and happy with the recording. The band knocked it out of the park.”

Of late, Jones finds creative sparks not only in chaos, but in his own backyard as well. His early 2011 solo release, “Highway Bound” (Underworld Records), features 16 songs, mostly classic blues covers and a few originals, and himself on vocals and an acoustic guitar (Charlie Musselwhite and Curtis Salgado lend vocals on respective tracks). It’s a departure from the electric Chicago-style rhythm and blues which has become the trademark of Jones and the Struggle. And a breath of fresh air.

“It’s like what I do in the backyard,” he said of the solo acoustic record-ing. “It’s actually the easiest thing I’ve ever done.”

Regardless of industry turmoil, Denmark gigs aside, Jones, a two-time winner of the Washington Blues Society’s “Best Songwriter” of the year, who’s shared the stage with the likes of Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughn, Robert Cray, Bonnie Raitt, B.B. King, Etta James and Taj Mahal, to name a few, knows where the pool of inspiration lies.

It’s on the stage, in the studio, on the road, with fellow musicians and friends, and sometimes in his own backyard.

CalendarContinued from page 11

James Alden’s eventful US Navy career will be the subject of an illus-trated program by local historian Mike Vouri on Saturday evening, Aug. 11, at the San Juan Island library.

Alden, a direct descendant of Mayflower passenger and Plymouth Colony settler John Alden, spent con-siderable time between 1841 and 1861 in San Juan Island and Puget South waters, most notably as a young participant in Lt. Wilkes’ U.S. Exploring Expedition in 1841-42 and later as commander of the U.S. Coast Survey steamer “Active” between 1853 and 1861.

Mike Vouri, historian for the San Juan Island National Historic Park, says, “Alden was sort of a 19th century “Selig” when it came to naval opera-

tions. He was around on nearly every mission that mattered, includ-ing for us those

first few days of the Pig War, when he wrote an unintentionally hilarious letter to his Survey boss, Alexander Dallas Bache (great grandson of Benjamin Franklin).”

During and after the Civil War, Alden held a variety of commands, including participating in the Battle of Mobile Bay and later commanding the Mediterranean Fleet just prior to his retirement as a Rear Admiral in 1873.

Just like in his pre-sentations on General George Pickett, Vouri has the all the facts and figures of Alden’s connections to the San Juan Islands, illustrated with mate-rial from Vouri’s trove of drawings, pho-tographs and maps from the period.

The program, which starts at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 11, at the library, is free.

For more info and accessibility details, contact the park at 378-2240, ext. 2233.

‘Summer of ‘69’ returns in music, spirit, Thurs.

The San Juan Community Theatre’s Summer Night Music Concert Series will “turn, turn, turn” right back to the musical year that, depending on your point of view, either launched or warped a generation:

It’s the ‘Summer of 1969’— peace, love and rock ‘n’ roll— and its music is back in the limelight, Thurs., Aug. 9, at SJCT.

The show features a team of island musicians shar-ing rockin’ tunes and clas-sic folk songs of the ‘60s and ‘70s, in the Gubelman Theatre. The musical torch bearers of a genera-tion and its cherished hits, anthems and sometimes forgotten numbers, include Daniel Finn, Ian Boulton, Debbie Nash-Strasser, Ian Byington, Steve Keys, Gretchen Gubelman and Beau Borrero, Kate Schuman and Keith Busha.

After a break for the county Fair, SJCT’s Summer Concert returns the follow-ing Thursday, Aug. 23, for a special repeat performance of “Remember Patsy Cline”, featuring local musicians Kate Schuman and Keith Busha.

Music begin at 8 p.m. in the Gubelman, preceded by a “social hour” in the Steele Memorial Garden, adjacent to the Gubelman (chocolate desserts, wine and beer will be available for purchase). 7-8 p.m. Seating is limited, 50 seats per show; tickets are $10.

The SJCT Summer Concert Series is support-ed by the Bed & Breakfast Association of San Juan

Island. Box Office hours:

Tuesdays-Fridays, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sat., 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; one hour before per-formance. Info, 360-378-3210, or www.sjctheatre.org.

‘Thyme in My Pocket’; artist memoir unveiled

Griffin Bay Bookstore is hosting a soiree cel-ebrating Alison Johnston’s new book, “Thyme in My Pocket: Moments in the south of France in word and watercolor”, a combination of “love letters to a French countryside” and watercol-ors depicting scenes from the four seasons spent in Provence, noted for famous paintings and drawings.

Johnston, a San Juan Island painter and island resident since 1981, had spent time in the area, renowned for its bucolic scenery and for the Cotes du Luberon and Cote du Rhone wine appellations.

In 2007, she returned with her family to live, draw and paint for a year. This illustrated memoir is the colorful and poetic result.

Johnston will tell the story and show some of the exquisite watercolors and sketches Friday, Aug.10, at 7 p.m. at Griffin Bay Cafe, 155 Spring St. in Friday Harbor.

Info: 360-378-5511.

NOTIFICATION OF INTENT TO OBTAIN CUSTODY.

Per RCW 79.100, San Juan County intends to take custody of an un- named derelict sail boat with no reg- istration on August 30th, 2012. The vessel is at anchor in Westcott Bay, San Juan County near the 400 block of White Point Rd. After taking cus- tody, San Juan County may use or dispose of the vessel without further notice. A letter has been mailed to the owner’s last known address.To retain custody of this vessel be- fore the Custody Date, the owner must: 1) contact the coordinator be- low, and 2) obtain authorization to moor or anchor the vessel in its cur- rent location, or 3) move it to a moor- age facility that has authorized the vessel, or 4) remove the vessel from the water. To redeem the 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 su- perior 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 custo- dy, which will be September 9th, 2012. 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 prevail- ing party is entitled to reasonable at- torneys’ 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 youngest from le� to right. L117, who’s sex is unknown, is the youngest of L54’s calves, born in 2010. New born calves o� en have a grey and mo� led looking 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 moth-er rather than their saddle patch. To identify older individual whales, look closely at the de-tails of the saddle patch of each animal in the subgroup. Every orca whale has a distinct and unique saddle patch, much like a human � n-gerprint, 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!

Orca whales have a ‘dorsal � n’ and ‘saddle’ patch — the greyish-white area behind the dorsal � n — that

are distinctive to each individual whale. Whale research-ers use detailed photographs of the saddle patch and dorsal � n to identify unique chara� eristics — including nicks, scratches, and other marks — that distinguish individual whales from each other. Orca whales travel in tight family groups commonly referred to as ‘pods.’ Orca pods are multiple matri-

lineal sub-groups —mothers with o� spring — traveling as a cohesive family unit. � ese subgroups travel together year-around, and in some cases there are as many as four to � ve generations traveling together in one large sub-group. Tight social units are another reliable way to identify orca whales. Look for the most distinctive whale or distinguishable features of a whale, then identify that whale. Once one whale is identi� ed, refer to the family tree to assist in identifying other whales in the vicinity. Researchers rely on this detailed information to deter-mine mothers of new calves, whale survivorship, and social preferences during large multi-family gatherings (aka‘Super Pod’).
