While the looming specter of a moratorium may have vanished, the tug-of-war over marijuana production and whether impacts of the newly created industry war-rant a new regimen of local land-use rules remains anything but resolved.

In a 3-0 decision, the San Juan County Council voted with-out dissent Jan. 12 to disengage from its pursuit of a would-be moratorium that by design tar-geted the processing of permits

for marijuana-related production facilities. By default, however, that same moratorium may have also applied to the construction of any type of greenhouse, regardless of whatever crop it was intended to house, from tomatoes to basil, to bokchoy.

Enforcement would have proved problematic, said Councilman Jamie Stephens, District 3, noting that construction of a so-called “temporary” greenhouse does not require a permit under exist-ing regulations.

“A moratorium on something that doesn’t have any regulations

means nothing,” said Stephens, who, six months ago, joined fellow councilman Bob Jarman, District 1, in moving discussion of a mora-torium into the drafting of a pos-sible ordinance.

The vote followed nearly 90 minutes of public testimony from a crowd that the council hearing room proved to small by itself to contain. Support for agricul-tural, in general, and for mari-juana production in particular, was abundant from the 30-or-so people who testified, as was the call for tighter restrictions on a laundry list of impacts from fledg-ling industry.

Those unable to find a seat or room to stand watched a video-feed and listened in from an adja-cent conference room on proceed-ings of the first of two council-led workshops focused on the regula-tory ins-and-outs, ups and downs, and the nuances, hurdles and eco-nomic promise of local marijuana production. The second workshop

is slated for Jan. 26. In initiating the vote to strike

down the greenhouse morato-rium, Councilman Rick Hughes, District-2, outspoken and stead-fast in opposition to the would-be legislation, included that the council also forgo pursuit of any moratorium regarding vot-er-approved state Initiative 502, which legalized the cultivation, production, sale and recreational use of marijuana by adults.

That proviso passed as well. The state Liquor Control Board,

the agency tasked with implemen-tation and regulation of I-502, has so far issued a total of 16 licenses to marijuana grow operations in San Juan County, according to county Agricultural Resources Committee Coordinator Peggy Bill. That total consists of four Tier 1 facilities (less than 2,000 square feet), nine Tier 2 (maxi-mum 7,000 square feet) and three

County Council ends moratorium

By Emily GreenbergJournal Reporter

The smells from large batches of homemade food wafts beyond the high school grounds.

Students clad in chef coats and aprons rush around to put the fin-ishing touches on the dishes that will feed hundreds of community members. The head chef rings the bell and the line queued up out the door is ushered to the buffet-style bar. Dinner is served.

“If you want to learn how to cook take culinary,” said Liz Varvaro, San Juan Island School District food service supervisor and teacher. “If you want to learn how to work take chef.”

Semi-monthly community din-ners are hosted to showcase “Food for Thought,” a program started in 2008 to bring hearty, healthy, from scratch meals to the district’s

students and faculty. Varvaro works side by side with Executive Chef Andrew Radzialowski, better known as “Chef Andy.” Together the two run a tight ship.

Varvaro isn’t your typical lunch lady, and her kitchen not your typ-ical classroom. She’s the teacher of Chef 1.0, a work-based learning “student chef internship.” From prep to cleanup, the program teaches high school students how to work in a commercial kitchen.

Students leave the program with the skills needed to work in the food-service industry, oftentimes starting above minimum wage because they already know the industry standards.

Many students are able to find well-paid summer jobs in the local workforce, while others go on to continue their education in culi-nary school and have careers in the food industry.

As a project to raise awareness, the rain garden at the intersection of First and Spring streets has been a success. As a pollution fil-tration system to be applied on a larger scale? Not so much.

“It was a test case. No one knew how effective it would be,” Friday Harbor Administrator Duncan Wilson said. “We’ve never seen any results that indi-cated a significant benefit,”

So, the town has other ideas to help curb pollution from storm water runoff.

Four years ago, local businessman and San Juan County Marine Resources Committee member Johannes Krieger, had an idea of his own.

Enter the rain garden, a low-impact way to reduce chemicals in storm water

runoff through use of spe-cific soils and plants that together act as a filtration system.

Rather than a cure-all for the town’s storm water woes, the rain garden, as proposed, was intended as a model. If applied on a larger scale, it would demonstrate how pollutants in water runoff might be reduced before reaching the front drain of the harbor.

The call for rain gardens

Rather than a curb exten-sion, the Town Council instead accepted, in 2011, the MRC proposal to install a rain garden at that intersection. Funded by a $35,000 grant from the state Department of Ecology, the project included excavat-ing the corner, installing a planter box, and filling the garden with appropriate soil

and plants. The grant also called for a study of its effec-tiveness.

“Several people wanted the town to do this and to get the MRC to take it on,” Krieger said. “Finally, after me hearing about it for a year and a half, it seemed like it wasn’t going any-where.”

With some prodding and patience, Krieger was able to get the garden somewhere, outside of Herb’s Tavern to be exact.

The call for rain gardens came after marine biolo-gist, Mike Kaill, found high levels of surfactants in the aquarium in the Spring Street Landing building. Surfactants like soaps, petroleum-based oils and heavy metals are commonly found in storm water. After a number of long-lived aquarium animals died, Kaill determined the cause of death to be the aquarium water, piped in from the harbor below.

The only study of the garden’s effectiveness was conducted by Kwiaht, a Lopez Island-based non-profit environmental orga-nization. The findings were grim. Inadequate funding for proper study

In testing done the winter after the rain garden was installed, Kwiaht Director Russel Barsh found more copper in the water filtered by the garden than in unfil-tered water tested the previ-ous month. Barsh believes

the garden’s soils and plants were to blame.

“It’s not surprising because in Washington state you can market compost as ‘rain garden’ even if a sub-stantial portion is construc-tion waste,” he said. “That means lumber treated with copper.”

Barsh said he offered to “fix” the garden for free and planned to recruit school-aged kids to help him dig up the garden and put in the “right” sub-strates and plants. County officials declined the offer, he said.

Krieger said that Kwiaht never contacted him about the offer.

He said funding for proper study of the garden’s effectiveness was limited from the start. Taking soil samples three to four times per year, pulling up plants to test and continuously test-ing the storm water would be necessary, and expensive.

“There wasn’t enough funding or follow up with any kind of real data,” Krieger said. “It was done too early in the life of the rain garden. It takes time for the soils to build the right levels of organisms for

the rain garden to function properly.”

As far as Krieger is con-cerned, the money allocated for study of the rain gar-den would have been better spent making it as efficient as possible.

The effectiveness of rain gardens is not disputed in the scientific community, he said.

While the MRC proposed and followed through with the project, the rain gar-den is in the jurisdiction of the town and its care was to eventually become the town’s responsibility. The town and county are sorting through paperwork to make the transfer official.

In the meantime, Krieger and other volunteers clean out the garden’s sediment traps a couple of times per year, prune and replace dead plants, and pick up lit-ter. Island Gardens changed out the soil about a year ago.

As the town prepares to take charge of maintaining the garden, it’s not at the forefront of curbing storm water pollution into the har-bor, but it is on their radar.

Wilson said the town plans to do a controlled

Storm water pollution calls for ideas One rain garden in town has little impact on pollutants

See IDEAS, Page 3


It’s one year later and that adorable bundle of fur has grown. No longer shielded by the veil of cuteness, rescue puppies are often deemed too much to handle, and returned to the shelter.

“We often see puppies getting returned around one-year-old,” said Jan Murphy, adoption and outreach coordinator at the animal shelter in Friday Harbor. “When people adopt a pet it should be forever.”

That’s why the local Animal Protection Society will per-form temperament testing on its latest litter of Chihuahua-mix puppies, to best match the puppy’s personality to the adopter’s lifestyle. Temperament testing gives shelter staff a preliminary understanding of a dog’s disposition by observ-ing its reactions to a person its never met.

For example, the tester (a person the puppy will not recognize by scent or sight) will hold a puppy gently on its back for 15 seconds and it’s reaction will be observed and analyzed. Struggling or biting is a more dominant reaction, whereas giving in or being quiet is more submissive. After a series of interactions which touch on reactions to differ-ent sized people, other pets, and noises, the observations are summed up using a scoring system where each score represents a different personality.

The application potential adopters must fill out also asks in depth question about lifestyle and living arrangements.

The tests are not exact, Murphy said, but can determine which dog would enjoy living in a quiet home with a single person, and which would better fit a family or active couple.

Jaime Ellsworth, board president of the shelter, said she first found out about temperament testing when a dog trainer-friend invited her to be the tester to a litter of pup-pies. She said many dog breeders and other shelters have already implemented this method, and that Friday Harbor’s shelter plans to make temperament testing a policy on any animal that comes in.

“Sometimes people get resentful,” she said. “They say ‘we want that dog,’ but we hope they trust and understand that we want them to get an animal that will work for their lifestyle, for the benefit of everyone.”

In the past two litters born at the shelter, one dog from each was returned. Although that number may seem small, when an animal gets returned its stressful for shelter staff and the animal. Too often people chose an animal based on appearance, Murphy said.

The litter of Chihuahua-mixes includes seven pup-pies born on Nov. 29, to Daisy, an almost two-year-old Chihuahua. Daisy was brought to the shelter from Yakima, Washington in October. She was part of a Chihuahua pack known to roam around the area.

Thanks to the parents of a San Juan resident, the Chihuahua’s in the pack were relocated to different shelters, including Daisy to San Juan.

Her puppies will be ready to go to their new homes any-time after Feb. 7.

“We’re not appointing puppies,” Murphy said. “Adopters still get to choose their own puppy, as long as we feel it’s a good match. We just want to make sure they go to the best suited home.”

If you are interested in adopting stop by the animal shelter in Friday Harbor to visit the puppies and fill out an application. The adoption fee is $125 and includes spaying or neutering.

Friday Harbor APS is located on Shelter Road and open Tues.-Sun., 11-3 p.m.

Poll to ask about Sheriff’s Department

study by introducing an element into the water that runs through the garden to determine if the plants and soil are still functioning, but has yet to set a date for that test.

A better method? Wilson said the town

wants to identify a more efficient way of filtering storm water than having rain gardens on every street corner that require care and upkeep.

In a grant-funded project, the town is working with engineers to develop a “vault cartridge system” that could possibly be installed under-ground at the waterfront, where most of the town’s storm water drains. The vault cartridge, equipped with filters, is intended to capture 70-100 percent of the “first flush,” the surge of storm water that follows a heavy rain and carries surfactants that accumulate when streets are dry.

While still in its infancy, Wilson said a vault system would be more efficient than rain gardens because most of the storm water would drain to and be fil-tered in one place. From design, to construction, to maintenance, the project would have to be entirely

funded by grants, he said. Although the rain gar-

den may not have sparked a mass movement along the streets of Friday Harbor, more and more are popping up around town.

The San Juan Community Home Trust has four in its Sunrise neighborhood, and plans to install a few more in phase two of the afford-able housing project. The gardens are maintained by neighborhood volunteers.

Peace Island Medical Center installed rain gar-dens at its new facility as well.

“It’s an alternative to treating storm water and we’re at a turning point,” Krieger said. “It’s like incan-descent light bulbs being

replaced by LED light bulbs. Technically, rain gardens should be on most street

corners—anywhere that water can flow and poten-tially get absorbed.”

Senior Summer Fields’ time in the kitchen during high school has given her the confidence she needs to pursue her goals in college. She will go on to the culinary program at Bellingham Tech after she graduates in the spring.

“This program helped a lot,” she said. “It showed me I can actually do it.”

Jafet Soto, a junior, spends his summers working for Friday Harbor restaurants Backdoor Kitchen and The Golden Triangle. Thanks to the program, Soto also found his niche.

“I want to keep working in the kitchen,” he said. During any given school year you’ll find about 20 stu-

dents enrolled in Chef 1.0. The students learn in real time, as the school kitchen needs to get the food prepared and cooked for the day ahead. While sometimes the students get to aid in developing different recipes for sauces and dressings, they mostly spend their time prepping food, put-ting away stock, cleaning and sanitizing.

While it initially takes time and effort to train the stu-dents to work safely and efficiently, once they get the hang of things they’re a great benefit to the kitchen. Because there are students available to help chop, season, and store the food, the school doesn’t need to buy processed or frozen

foods to keep up with demand, Vavaro said. If a student is involved in a cooking class like Culinary

1.0, the class requires them to spend one full week in Varvaro’s kitchen.

“They’re either scared and never want to come back, or they’re excited,” she said. “It’s a big job feeding the district.”

If a culinary student then wants to enroll in the work-based program, they must interview for the position as if it were a job, because that’s how Varvaro runs the program.

When students arrive at the kitchen it’s as if they’ve left school and arrived at work.

Seven years ago, when the school’s food services was operating at a deficit, the kitchen was in danger of being shut down. Radzialowski and Varvaro put their heads together to come up with the Food for Thought program, with the goal to bring fresh, hearty and healthy food to the district’s children. Thanks to many strong parents and com-munity members, as well as a grant to get the program up and running, Food for Thought was born.

Since then lunch sales have gone up and truancy post lunch has gone down because many students remain on campus for lunch, Varvaro said.

Varvaro is not only tasked with training teenagers to be workforce ready and feeding the district, but keeping food services fiscally viable. The community dinners also help offset some of costs of the program, like buying extra knives and chef coats. The next community dinner is tentatively scheduled for March 11.

Above all the program is a break from the norm that offers an alternative classroom environment, and farm to table choices in a country becoming increasingly discon-nected from it’s food.

“Those that struggle and those with a 4.00 are elbow to elbow chopping the same bag of onions,” she said. “It’s a great equalizer.”

Tier 3 (maximum 21,000 square feet) and together cover roughly four acres of landscape. That total, Bill added, does not account for the recent shutdown of a Tier 3 facil-ity on San Juan Island, San Juan Sungrown, which eliminates one Tier 3 facil-ity and about one acre off the landscape.

The facilities come in an assortment of shapes, sizes and structures, and the amount of resources required by each are pre-sumably unique, she said.

Jarman said that his intent, all along, has been to craft a set of “reasonable rules” that address impacts of marijuana production, but not at the expense of other crops cultivated in a greenhouse.

He said such impacts, like noise, odor, illumi-

nation, water and power usage, and size or scale of an operation, could be addressed more effectively if marijuana was treated differently than other agri-cultural products and that permits for its production facilities had a separate pathway for approval, such as requirement of a condi-tional-use permit.

“When we put green-houses into the morato-rium language I think it confused a lot of people

and it just went down the wrong rabbit hole,” Jarman said. “My intent all along was to try and look at the marijuana issue.”

Though the moratorium is off the table, the poten-tial of a new regulatory regime for marijuana grow operations is not.

The council is expected to receive updated infor-mation from county plan-ning staff and agricultural resources committee at the Jan. 26 workshop.

The Keystone XL oil pipeline has earned much national attention recent-ly for the damage it would do to the climate. But anoth-er potential climate disaster is playing out in our region that we must all be actively involved in stopping. Coal and oil exported from our area, and transiting around our islands, would be capa-ble of delivering enough fuel to release 277.9 million metric tons of carbon diox-ide when burned. Keystone XL could emit 149 million metric tons of CO2 per year.

When burned, the fos-sil fuels exported from our region contribute to our global carbon foot-print which has the highest concentrations of green-house gases the earth has experienced in more than 800,000 years. The indus-trial release of pollution from power plants, vehicles and industries has boosted global temperatures, led to the acidification of oceans which now threatens our state’s $120 million annual shellfish economy, changed global weather patterns resulting in increased flood-ing, caused sea levels to rise, has led to more forest fires, and increased asthma rates for children in areas where pollution is concentrated.

The biggest risk beyond climate change – an oil spill

Over the past three years, new or expanded exports for coal, oil and now liquefied natural gas have resulted in vast increases of export from ports in British Columbia and Washington state that must transit through the southern Strait of Georgia, around the Gulf and San Juan

Islands, and the Strait of Juan de F u c a . During t h i s t i m e , t h r e e vessel oil spill risk a s s e s s -ments have been completed for projects in the Salish Sea. The most comprehensive evaluation of all vessel traffic is the 2014 Vessel Traffic Risk Assessment.

According to the VTRA 2010 Study, the projected growth in ship traffic great-ly increases the spill risk. Kinder Morgan’s tankers alone would almost triple the risk of an accident in Haro Strait and Boundary Pass and more than double the risk in the eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca.

Rail traffic and marine waters

The expanded oil refiner-ies in Anacortes off March Point require rail traffic over marine water bodies. Recent derailments have caused explosions and mul-tiple deaths. Forty-seven people died in an oil train derailment in Canada last

year that also destroyed the down town of Lac-Méganticand left an eco-logical nightmare along the lake and river’s shoreline.

Our marine system needs to assess its capacity to anchor and bunker larger ships; to ensure safe shipping with increased tug and pilot-age assistance; and to study the risks of human health, treaty protected rights, envi-ronment and our economy from increase cumulative rail and vessel traffic.

Get Involved1. Comment on the

Shell oil-by-rail facility on January 29 in Mt. Vernon. The Skagit County Hearing Examiner is holding a pub-lic hearing on this proposed facility, which would route six new oil trains per week through our region. The risks of increasing train traffic on our communities and waterways should be thoroughly studied.

2. Support Governor Inslee’s comprehensive Oil Transportation Safety Bill (SB 5087) during the 2015 legislative session.

3. Stand with the Lummi Nation and ask the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to deny a permit to build the Gateway Pacific Coal

Terminal. On Jan. 5, the Lummi Nation formally requested that the Army Corps deny this permit because it violates their

treaty rights. They need our support.

OPINION

6 — Wednesday, January 21, 2015 The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com

Money not well spent at terminal

Last fall I attended a Ferry Reservation Information Meeting. I asked the ques-tion, “How much is it going to cost to implement the reservation program?”

They felt that the antici-pated chaos at Anacortes would require a new man-agement position to handle the disorder and confusion trying to get the vehicles through the tollbooth and into the proper lines.

They will also require additional staff to man the tollbooths.

Wrong answer.Low bidder to install

a new tollbooth at MP55.67 SR 20 Spur for $199,537,370 was Flatiron West, Inc. in Benicia, Calif. Two other Washington companies bid $214.9 and $249.8 million.

The partial list of the work to be done is: remov-ing existing tollbooth, 600 LF controlled blasting, 300 CY roadway excavation, 104 LF pre cast concrete bar-rier, 1390 LF paint line, toll booth. The list goes on to include a verity of commu-nication cables and equip-ment, highway advisory radio transmitter system, etc.

Maybe $200 million could have been used for a down payment on a new boat.

See you in the “standby” line

HERB SCHIESSLLopez Island

In solidarity with Lummi Nation

The residents of this county owe a huge thank you to members of the Lummi Nation for their continuing opposition to a coal terminal at Cherry Point.

Their most recent let-ter reads in part, “The impacts on the Nation’s treaty rights associated with this project cannot be mitigated,” (emphasis added).

They are right. The pos-sibilities for disaster are real. If the Lummi win this battle we will all win.

Fish for Teeth, it takes a village

This Friday, Jan. 23, Fish for Teeth will be serv-ing fish tacos ($7 each) at the San Juan Island Community Theater from 11-2 p.m.

Fish for Teeth is starting its fourth year of bring-ing the Medical Teams International mobile den-tal van to San Juan County. To date our local volunteer dental professionals have provided an estimated 275 visits, equal to $170,000 in dental services, to those

who otherwise cannot afford dental care. The “ToothMobile” comes every January, May, and October.

Our “Taco Team” volun-teers have become so effi-cient the cost of a two-day clinic is nearly covered by taco sales. Direct donations help fill the gap. Supporting

donations from Rotary, the American Legion Auxiliary, Kiwanis, Lions (and Leo’s), and Soroptomists clubs (and the hard work of many volunteers) helped build the program to where it is today.

Fish for Teeth is develop-ing a sealant program with the goal of sealing the teeth of every second grader on San Juan Island. Children must have a check-up and any dental issues addressed prior to the sealants being applied.

Sincere thanks go to local dental professionals and “Team Tooth” volun-teers for the October 3-4, 2014 clinic: Dr. Michael Horn and assistants Jill Atkins and Lori Miller, Dr. David Tegrotenhois and assistant Kathy Raivo, Dr. Bo Turnage and his assis-tant, Dr. Michelle Reynolds and assistant Andrea Champlin, ToothMobile driver Neyibe Tamboer, clinic coordinators/sched-ulers/helpers Liz Pillow,

Margaret Johnson, Nancy Best, Joanne Runyan, and Elaine Pretz.

Thank you also to Team Taco: Jim Gruneisen, Bruce Robinson, Eric and Meichelle Roberts, Amy Wynn, Tori Zehner, Ted Strutz, George and Pauline Mulligan, Mary Ellen Courtney, Chad Peterman and Aimee Urata, Sharon Lannon, Penelope Haskew, and Matt and Maureen Marinkovich.

Our appreciation of ongoing support goes out to the following: Mullis Center—dental van site, Ace Hardware and San Juan Island Community Theater—fish taco site, Cynthia’s Of Course, Pablito’s Taqueria, Matt’s Fresh Fish—donation of wild Alaskan rockfish, and Mullis Street Storage.

And of course thank you to all who come and enjoy our tacos and support our efforts!

Editorial

County should allow cannabis production By Colleen ArmstrongPublisher

Here at the Journal, we are dis-appointed with the direction that San Juan County is taking

in regards to cannabis farming. San Juan Sun Grown, a producer located on San Juan Island, has become the poster child for regulatory hurdles after it shut down operations in mid-December. Company owner David Rice said the cost of looming legal battles and weight of regulatory uncer-tainty proved too much for the fledg-ling enterprise to overcome.

In early December, the county hearings examiner overturned San Juan Sun Grown’s land-use permit and revoked its building permit, ruling that county planners erred by not adequately evaluating impacts of the facility on surrounding properties.

In the decision, prompted by an appeal filed by neigh-bors of the grow operation, the examiner cited noise, odor, traffic and pesticide use as the kind of impacts that required better evaluation. The neighbors say the lawsuit over the use of Fieldstone Stone Road, a privately owned and shared gravel driveway, will proceed even if the operation is said to have shut down. The dispute centers on an easement that reportedly prohibits commercial use of the shared road.

Meanwhile, on Jan. 12, the San Juan County Council held a workshop to consider whether to impose a six-month “emergency” moratorium on the processing of land-use and building permits for marijuana-related facilities. Council members have raised concerns about local rules not being able to safeguard against impacts of pot production’s new frontier. Thankfully, in a 3-0 deci-sion, the council voted to disengage from its pursuit of the moratorium – but primarily because it would have also targeted greenhouses, not just marijuana produc-tion.

Though it is off the table, the potential of a new regu-latory regime for marijuana grow operations is not. The council is expected to receive updated information from planning staff and the agricultural resources committee at a Jan. 26 workshop. We applaud Councilman Rick Hughes of Orcas for standing in opposition of any new pot-related legislation, but we’re wondering what the other two council members are thinking.

It’s been two years since voters approved state Initiative 502, which legalized the cultivation, production, sale and recreational use of marijuana by adults. Yet the council chooses now, after islanders have put in months of hard work to get enterprises off the ground, to consider new rules? And it’s not like there are going to be dozens of pot farms popping up all over the county. We feel the impact will be minimal.

Most can agree that sustaining local farms is good for the land, the community and local commerce. We are a county that is deeply rooted in agriculture. We give farmers incentives like “open space” tax breaks, but we won’t support a potentially lucrative new crop because of noise, odor and traffic concerns? The smell of pot is less odoriferous than chicken or steer manure.

The ins and out of the marijuana industry are well known. The steps that the council would need to take to enact new regulations are not overly burdensome, but we don’t think that is actually the point. It’s time to accept that the production and sale of marijuana is legal in Washington state.

This is just one more way that San Juan County can develop its agricultural foothold – if our government can get out of the way and let this new chapter unfold.

The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com OPINION Wednesday, January 21, 2015 — 7

By Bruce StedmanSpecial to the Journal

That the local orca whale population (“Southern Resident Killer Whales,” or SRKWs) is in dire trouble is not in dispute, even as recent widespread press

reports have focused on the positive news of the birth of J-50, a new calf in J-pod (J, K and L pods together make up the endangered southern resident orca).

While this is great news, and we all hope for this newborn to survive and prosper, it is far from guaranteed. And we must at the same time be reminded that J-50 is the only calf born to this population to survive—so far—since 2012.

Historically, the southern resident orca population has averaged four surviving calves every year. One surviving calf in three years is not enough to sustain this endangered population, let alone help it recover.

With the death, in December, of 18-year-old J-32 and her almost full-term calf, the number of reproductive female Puget Sound orcas has also dropped, to an estimated 15, the lowest in seven years. This is another serious problem for population recovery. There are now only 78 SRKWs, down from the high of 90 in 2005.

The Puget Sound orcas are headed for extinction, and the onus is upon us to do everything within our power, as quickly as possible, to enhance their recovery. What are the most immediate steps we can take to give our treasured resident orcas their best chance of survival?

According to the National Marine Fisheries Service—the federal agency entrusted with protecting the endangered orca—three primary factors combine to harm orca health in Puget Sound:

Low chinook salmon counts year after year (the orcas’ highly preferred food in the summer), leading to periods of starvation; very high toxic load in the whales’ blubber; and noise and disturbance from motorized vessels, particularly from commercial whale watching vessels and the private boats they attract.

Unless we take action today, these trends and their causes might very well lead to the extinction of the resident orcas

whales of Puget Sound. While the first two fac-

tors—more salmon and reduced toxic pollution—are certainly needed, those solu-tions will likely take decades, and huge expenditures of scarce public dollars, before standing a chance of success. This is not an affordable time frame for the orca.

But the third point gives us an opening to make a dif-ference now. A reduction in noise and disturbance can be achieved at little expense and relatively quickly, by creating a Whale Protection Zone, which would, at minimum,

give the orca one relatively quiet area in which their sonar (which is how they find the food crucial to their survival) is less blocked, their ability to communicate with one another would be less disturbed, and even their socializing would find a place away from the constant loud noise of motorized vessels currently operat-ing near them all day long from May through October.

After years of consideration and input, Orca Relief Citizens’ Alliance is proposing that NMFS create a whale protection zone off the west coast of San Juan Island; a speed zone for all boats, and a permit system for motorized whale watching.

Inviting a public discussion is the next step in doing all we can to save our resident orca whales. To launch both our proposal and a public discussion, Orca Relief has submit-ted a blueprint to NMFS showing how a whale protection zone might be designed, managed, and enforced (see www.orcarelief.org).

All of us care deeply about the survival of the Southern Resident killer whales. Establishing a whale protection zone is something we can do now to try and ensure their survival and their residence in our waters. This is the only measure we have the power to enact today, before we “love our whales to death.”

OPALCO leadership has approved a new rate structure and 2015 bud-get that include rate increases for all members.

There is no getting around it: we are facing expensive submarine cable replacements beginning in 2015 and continuing for the foreseeable future. In addition, we have to make up for a $1.4 million revenue shortfall in 2014 due to warmer temperatures and we expect the warming trend to continue.

Read the full story at opalco.com/news. The detailed budget report is available at opalco.com/about/financ-es.

The typical member will see an average 9 percent increase in their bill beginning with the February bill-

ing cycle. The 2015 budget targets an increase in revenue of 12 percent overall, but actual impacts to average residential member bills are less due to the redistribution of costs in the new rate structure, designed for greater member parity.

Seasonal members and those who put the highest demand on the system will see greater increases as the new structure ensures each rate class pays its fair share of their actual cost of service. The budget also forecasts a 6 percent revenue increase for 2016-19.

The cost of replacing our subma-rine cables has gone up tremendously, mostly due to increased environmental mitigation. The last time we replaced a cable in this crossing (1994), it cost about $5 million; the current project is estimated to cost at least $15 million. We must build equity and revenue through rates to manage this signifi-cant debt service.

A small piece of the rate increase will fund the start-up of our new Internet services entity. The start-up cost is $7.5 million over the next three years. The impact of this debt ser-

vice on our membership will aver-age $3 per member per month for 24 months, included in the facilities charge (approximately 19 percent of the total revenue increases for 2015 and 2016).

To ensure reliable electric service into the future, we will continue to make the necessary investments in our system, including replacement of aging infrastructure, the grid control backbone and the submarine cables that connect us to the mainland and to each other.

We have a unique utility to sustain us in a beautiful and sensitive envi-ronment. We all value our natural resources and quality of life in the islands, and it comes at a cost.

Feeling tight, cricked, wound up? Well, it could be because you spend most of the day in almost the exact same position.

“As a society we’ve stopped moving,” said Richard Davenport, owner of Lavendera Day Spa in Friday Harbor. “Whether on the com-puter, driving, cooking—your arms are out, it’s the same activity.”

But don’t expect Davenport, or anyone from his team of massage thera-pists to be the cure-all for those tight muscle woes. They just begin the healing process by getting the fluids moving through the warming and loosening of the muscles. It’s up to the individual to keep that looseness by moving their body.

Every third Thursday of the month, Lavendera offers a free “Community Wellness Night,” where you can sample their many ser-vices. Chair massage, Thai massage, and Reiki are popular forms of healing offered.

“It’s a chance to give back to the community and allow people the opportunity to experience different modali-ties of healing who may not be able to afford the treatments,” Davenport said.

Set up like a quiet zen fun-house, meander through the different rooms and experience hands-on, healing energy.

Beth Drake, who’s been a massage therapist at Lavendera for nine years, gives a glimpse of Structural Relief Therapy, a form of massage that helps decrease muscle contraction and improve range of motion.

As opposed to tradition-al western medicine Drake embraces alternative forms when it comes to improving health.

“This gets at the underlying cause and actually helps heal,” she said. “I always start at the pelvis,

because everything stacks on top of it or hangs off.”Lie down on the bed-sized cushion set up on the floor and allow mas-

sage therapist Ish Nielson’s soothing voice and strong hands transcend you into a deep state of relaxation. Nielson performs Thai massage, where she lifts the limbs into different positions and gently manipulates the muscles.

And after a massage with Davenport he’ll identify your main areas of tension and recommend stretches and exercises to help stay loose and comfortable.

You might even feel obligated to perform them regularly so he notices a difference next month at wellness night. After all it’s not his job to fix you, but to show you the way.

“If you can get someone to nibble on something good hopefully they take the next steps,” he said. “We want people to get reacquainted with their bodies, recognize what’s going on and be able to change it.”

To take healing one step further you can also take a book from Lavendera’s free lending library. Books offering healing methods you can perform on yourself are available for three weeks at a time.

While free treatments are offered the third Thursday of every month, there’s almost always something going on Thursdays at Lavendera. Special guests lead group meditations, give presentations on thought-provoking subjects, and massage therapists give insight into their own heal-ing routines.

Every Tuesday night there’s a free Reiki circle. Reiki is a technique based on the principle that the healer can channel energy into the patient by means of touch.

To some these ideas may seem wu-wu, but to the nay-sayers Davenport says look at professional athletes who receive massages daily, and even Peace Island Medical Center now offers Reiki to its cancer patients.

For a full list of events visit www.lavenderadayspa.com or call 378-3637.

Lavendera Day Spa is located at 285 Spring Street.

The next free Community Wellness Night is Feb. 19, at 6:30 p.m.

“There is always, always, always something to be thankful for.”

So reads a plaque prominently dis-played in the home of Jill Woody. Those who have had the privilege of meeting her knew that Jill lived her life by these words and exemplified a spirit of gratitude, optimism, and passion that few others rival.

Jill’s professional endeavors were diverse: from acclaimed high school drama teacher she went on to perform in plays in New York and on tours including “Annie,” during which time she met and married the love of her life, Jack Woody. Jill was a teacher, an actress, a director, an entrepreneur, a

vocational rehabilitation counselor, a foster parent, and she ultimately retired as a social worker for children and families, always giving back to her community. She accomplished all of these feats while having overcome many adversities, none the least of which was re-learning how to speak and walk after surviving a massive stroke in her mid-twenties.

Jill was a lover of nature, a loyal friend, and a creative soul who passed away suddenly only a year after hav-ing moved to her dream home and community on San Juan Island. She was preceded by her beloved hus-band, Jack, her grandmother, Nana,

her aunts Lois and Mayme, her mother, Bonnie Lang, and her pre-cious dogs Max, Greta, Gretchen, and Chloe whom she treated better than royalty. She is survived by her sister, Holly, her niece, Karri, her great-nieces, Mandi and Charity, and her cousin, Greg.

Obituary

The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com SCENE Wednesday, January 21, 2015 — 11

Around Town

More than 150 volunteers, 63 businesses and organiza-tions helped make the second annual Friday Harbor Film Festival a success.

Throughout the weekend in November 2014, over 3000 islanders and visitors viewed an exciting selection of 30 full-length and 12 short films all in some way related to the Pacific Rim. This was a 55 percent increase in attendance over the 2013 inaugural year.

To help ensure the success of the 2015 Festival, Pacific Islands Research Institute has launched the Friday Harbor Film Festival Society.

The film society gives individuals who believe the festival is an asset to the community, an opportunity to support the event continuously.

Benefits of society memberships range from ticket dis-counts to all access passes.

Producer and Founder level donors are entitled to attend receptions with the filmmakers and participate in private whale watching charters.

Plans are already underway for this year’s festival sched-uled for Nov. 6-8, 2015. The festival will feature films about island cultures, marine ecology, environmental issues, great

adventures and those who live and work near the world’s largest ocean.

For information about a membership visit www.fhff.org.

Film Society launched to benefit film festival

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a firewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

ANSWERS TO PUZZLES


Snacks, beer, smoking pipes—if you want it you

can find it at Mosquito Fleet Mercantile, but you’ll have to go to their new location.

After seven years, store

owners Ron Bates and Sandy Montana shut the doors on their storefront located above the ferry ter-minal on A Street. The cou-ple moved the business to

the historic building on 95 Nichols Street, across from Sunken Park.

“When we first decided to open the business we thought the ferry traffic would be good,” Bates said. “But less than 10 percent of our business came from tourists.”

Bates said having low

prices contributes to the loy-alty the local customers have to the store.

The couple isn’t wor-ried that they’ll be losing any foot traffic, in fact now that they have a parking lot right next door, and a wrap around deck, they’re confi-dent business is only bound to get better.

The canary yellow build-ing was built circa 1895 and once home to the accoun-tant for the Pacific American Fisheries Cannery, Clare Washburn. According to his-toric records, the Washburn House had something of an open-door policy where men who worked at the cannery often dined with Washburn and his family.

This Nichols Street build-ing, along with the Doctor’s Office cafe on Front Street, are the only two remaining structures on the waterfront associated with the cannery.

Steeped in history, Bates is pleased with the new locale.

“It lends itself to that old, general store feel,” he said.

Wolverine BoysIn a battle for the suprem-

acy in the Northwest 2B/1B League, Peter Strasser scored 14 points to help lead the Wolverines to a decisive 52-37 win over the La Conner Braves Friday at Turnbull Gym.

Friday Harbor (7-0 league, 10-2) led all the way through the first three quarters. The Braves (5-1, 9-3), however, started the game as the aggressor, forc-ing multiple turnovers in the early going. But midway through the first quarter the Wolverines, backed by their largest crowd of the season, began to gain momentum, with Strasser putting home

a pair of layups and John Gustafson nailing back-to-back shots, a three pointer and a smooth jumper to close out the quarter.

From there, the hosts began to flex their muscle and entered the halftime break with a comfortable 25-16 lead.

The third quarter was where the Wolverines seared the nets, putting together a solid 14-0 run and eventu-ally swelling their lead to its largest margin, 52-35.

After that, both teams seemed to clamp down defensively, with the Braves the only team to put any points on the board in the fourth quarter, but their pair of free throws would not be enough to overturn the large deficit the Wolverines had built.

Friday Harbor got a big game from Strasser, who was perfect from the free throw line on the way to his team-leading 14 points as well as John Gustafson, who chipped in with 12 points. The win puts the Wolverines in complete control of first place in the Northwest League after playing and defeating each league opponent once.

They will play all seven again, as well as a non-league tilt against 2B pow-erhouse Auburn Adventist (9-0) to round out their final eight games. Next up for the Wolverines was a trip to Shoreline Christian (2-5, 2-10) on Monday, past the press deadline. They do not return to Turnbull Gym until Jan. 27 for a matchup with Orcas Island.

Wolverine GirlsThe La Conner Braves

have been regarded as one of the best teams in class 2B girls basketball, and they showed the Friday Harbor Wolverines exact-ly why Friday night. In a battle between the only two remaining undefeated teams in the Northwest 2B/1B League, the Braves (6-0 league, 13-0) rode a strong second half to grab a 58-31 win at Friday Harbor High School. Anna Cook scored

a game-high 16 points for the Braves, while Madi Kincaid led the Wolverines (6-1, 9-4), pouring in 12 points. In the first quarter, the Wolverines held their own against a Braves team that had previously eased through their first 12 games, opening the game with a three pointer from Kincaid and ending the quarter trail-ing 12-11. But the Braves began to heat up, with Nakiya Edwards nailing a pair of three pointers in the second quarter to help her team build up a 30-17 half-time lead. Coming out of the break, it was all about the Braves, who cut down on their turnovers from 10 in the first half, to just three in the second. While the Wolverines dropped their first league contest

of the season, they still remain in tight control of second place with 8 games remaining. They faced a quick turnaround, travel-ing to Shoreline Christian (2-4, 6-5) Monday, past the press deadline. The team is at home Jan. 27, when they face the Orcas Island Vikings (4-3, 7-5). Tip off is 5:15.
