The amount of critical habitat afforded to the Southern Resident killer whales will grow by leaps and bounds, if the Center for Biological Diversity has its way.

The Center last week filed a formal petition with the National Marine Fisheries Service to pro-tect more critical habitat for the endangered Southern Resident population of killer whales. If successful, the proposal would extend Endangered Species Act protection to the whales’ win-ter foraging range off the coasts of Washington, Oregon and California.

That’s roughly 700 miles of coastline earmarked for pro-tection in the Center’s petition, and the boundary would extend about 76 miles out to sea, the Center’s senior attorney Sarah

Uhlemann said. Uhlemann notes that new

research, including satellite tracking data from the first half of 2013 (see map, at right) reveals that the whales travel extensively along the West Coast during the winter and early spring, regularly congregating near coastal rivers to feed on migrating salmon. The Center’s petition seeks to pro-tect these areas off the coasts of Washington, Oregon and California as critical habitat.

“At this point we’re asking that the whales entire migratory path be included as critical habitat,” she said. “We know that Fisheries has had it on their mind and we’re hopeful the agency will agree with us.”

In response to a petition from the Center and allies, the Fisheries Service determined in 2005 that Southern Residents are in danger of extinction. Although the agency has protected portions of the population’s summer habi-tat in the Puget Sound, impor-tant offshore habitat areas have recently been documented.

Today, the population, which consists of the members of J,K

and L pods, totals 81 animals, about four fewer than in 2005, the year the endangered listing was announced. The population, which most recently peaked at 99 in 1995, plummeted to 79 over the next six years, and has hovered in the mid-80s during

A local supporter of youth sports who wishes to remain anonymous has pledged a $1 million challenge grant to reinvigorate the final con-struction of the San Juan Island Community Sports Field, com-monly called the Carter Avenue ballfields.

The project was first conceived in 2005 after the district decided that the 34 acres site would not be needed for a new high school. The economic downturn after 2007 made building the complex dif-ficult, but Donny Galt, John Kurtz and many other islanders contin-ued to nurture the project.

Brent Snow, President of the San Juan Island school board, praised the successful new effort by the district, Island Rec and the Friday Harbor Athletic Association to revive the project.

“The school district is excep-tionally pleased that the athletic fields and other parts of the park can now be made available as a place for kids and the whole com-munity to play,” Snow said after the school board and the athletic association signed a memoran-dum of understanding amending the original $1-per-year lease of the property.

The San Juan County Park and Recreation District, Island Rec, is expected to approve the memo-randum soon, and may at a future date put a levy request on the ballot to fund maintenance and operation. M&O costs are esti-mated in the $50,000 to $70,000 per year range

Although the grant is not con-tingent on matching funds, Friday Harbor Athletic Association

President John Kurtz estimates that about $250,000 to $300,000 in additional contributions (in addition to the $1 million grant) will be needed to finish construc-tion of the original 2007 plan, which included six athletic fields, a children’s playground, a club-house with restrooms, a picnic area and additional amenities such as sidewalks.

So far, about $1.7 million in cash and in-kind contributions has been expended on the project. Much of the basic land-leveling work has been completed, along with two wells for watering the fields when finished.

Future plans for the 34-acre property may include construc-tion of a small building for use by

THE U.S. NAVY HAS EXTENDED THE SCOPING PERIOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (EIS) FOR EA-18G GROWLER AIRFIELD OPERATIONS AT NAS WHIDBEY ISLAND’S AULT FIELD AND OUTLYING LANDING FIELD (OLF) COUPEVILLE, including the proposed introduction of two additional expeditionary Electronic Attack (VAQ) squadrons and the addition of aircraft to the Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS).

In response to public and elected official requests, and in order to ensure all surrounding communities have ample opportunity to provide input, the Navy has extended the scoping period until Friday, January 31. The scoping period began September 5, and the original deadline for scoping comments was January 3.

The lengthy public scoping period was due to the fact that the scoping meetings were scheduled for December 2013. These dates were chosen to avoid possible cancellation of the meetings during any government shutdown and to avoid conflicting with P-8A Draft Supplemental EIS public meetings and comment period. These meetings were also ongoing in the vicinity of NAS Whidbey Island during the same timeframe.

Public input is very important in order for the Navy to fully understand community concerns and relevant issues.

Members of the public may submit comments via mail to: EA-18G EIS Project ManagerNaval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) AtlanticAttn: Code EV21/SS6506 Hampton Blvd., Norfolk, VA 23508

Comments may also be submitted to the project website: http://www.whidbeyeis.com.

All comments must be postmarked or received online no later than January 31, 2014.

This time around it was an abandoned fire extinguisher that prompted the Washington State Patrol to send a bomb squad to San Juan Island.

Local authorities closed off a block of Second Street and re-routed traffic for roughly five hours, beginning at about 1:45 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 14, after an abandoned and somewhat beat-up fire extinguisher was found on the side-walk across the street from San Juan County Courthouse. Someone apparently placed the extinguisher near the base of a parking sign pole on the southwest side of the roadway.

Undersheriff Bruce Distler said photographs were taken of the fire extinguisher and sent to the state patrol, which then determined it to be “suspicious” in nature. Distler said that the state ferry system rerouted one of its boats, as well, to pick up a state patrol bomb squad and that officers were expected to arrive in Friday Harbor at about 5 p.m. to inspect the extinguisher.

“We defer to the state patrol in these situations,” he said.At about the same time that the bomb squad disem-

barked the ferry and was en route to the scene, Distler said that the person who discovered the extinguisher it the middle of the road earlier in the day, and then set in on the sidewalk, notified the sheriff ’s department how it came to be there. The bomb squad then elected not to treat the extinguisher as a potential explosive device and removed it by hand from the sidewalk, he said.

It’s the fourth time in the past four months that a so-called “suspicious package” has prompted the state patrol to send a bomb squad to San Juan Island. The previous incidents include; an abandoned typewriter found at the gravel pit in

mid-September, a package outside Friday Harbor Drug Store later that month, a suitcase by the Market Place parking lot in late October and a suspicious package by the US Customs headquarters at the Port of Friday Harbor in late December, which contained electrical equipment and wiring.

Like the fire extinguisher on Tuesday, the previous inci-dents were all treated as “suspicious,” but none were armed with explosives.

An Orcas Island man accused of breaking into a Rosario-area home and demanding money at gun-point from the couple who live there is slated to stand trial on a trio of felonies in early March.

On Jan. 3, Bradley Kenneth Stoner, 25, plead-

ed not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to first-degree attempted robbery, first-degree bur-glary and to second-degree assault. If convicted of the most serious of the three offenses, first-degree attempted robbery, a Class A felony, he would face maximum penalties of life in prison, a $50,000 fine, or both.

Stoner, who turned him-self in at the sheriff ’s office in Eastsound Dec. 23, the day after the alleged home

invasion occurred, remains in custody in Island County jail pending trial. Bail was set at $10,000.

According to prosecutors, Stoner wore a black hooded sweatshirt and a red ban-dana that covered his face, and was armed with rifle, an AK-47, when he broke into the couple’s Geiser’s Way home at about 10:30 p.m. He allegedly pointed the weapon and demanded money from the man that lives there, who reportedly recognized the would-be robber by his voice.

Moments later, when the bandana fell from his face as he racked the weapon,

authorities claim that Stoner then fled from the home, having been recognized by his voice and by sight by both the man and the woman at the home. The couple has reportedly been acquainted with Stoner since he was five years old, according to court docu-ments.

Authorities recovered an AK-47 ammunition car-tridge from the floor of the home.

Class B felonies, first-degree burglary and sec-ond-degree assault carry maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $10 fine,

By Christopher Lopaze WNPA Olympia News Bureau

OLYMPIA—Lawmakers are considering a bill that would send public officials and employees to what amounts to open-records school.

House Bill 2121 would require public officials and employees to undergo training on open government laws under the state’s Public Records Act and the Open Public Meetings Act.

When the public’s right to know is “stymied” by a public records officer, Rep. Gerry Pollet (D-Seattle) said, “it’s not a pleasant thing to deal with.” Pollet is the main sponsor of the bill, and advocated for a similar bill last year.

Supporters of the bill said violations are often inadver-tent errors caused by a lack of knowledge, and the training requirement would help reduce unintentional infractions.

A 2012 report from the state auditor’s office identified more than 250 open government-related issues among local governments.

After receiving a public records request from the Washington Coalition for Open Government last year, former Coulee Dam Mayor Quincy Snow responded in a letter that he had a problem with the request and “I am fed up with this kind of harassment.”

Under the statutes known as the Public Records Act, which Washington voters passed as an initiative in 1972, the town has a responsibility to respond to public disclosure requests.

In 2011, KING5 found that public records-request infrac-tions cost taxpayers about $1.7 million in financial penal-ties. The Washington State Supreme Court has said that when the court is deliberating penalties, the lack of training could result in higher financial penalties, while evidence of training could reduce financial penalties.

Brian Enslow, senior policy director with the Washington State Association of Counties, testified Tuesday at a legisla-tive hearing that he supports the “basic mechanism” of the bill, but questions whether the training requirement would result in significant cost savings.

He asked lawmakers to pursue more comprehensive reform, and deal with “over burdensome and harassing requests.”

“That is currently the biggest impediment to creating that culture of compliance within our elected officials,” Enslow

said.Toby Nixon, former state House member and current

president of Washington Coalition for Open Government, conceded the records-request process can be time consum-ing and expensive, but the public has a fundamental right to know.

“Under state law, fulfilling public records requests is a core function,” Nixon said.

He said by adopting this bill, the legislators and the gov-ernor would send the message that “accountability to the public is important, and they take it seriously.”

At the request of the Legislature, the William D. Ruckelshaus Center conducted a study and found that “the vast majority of public records request—and requestors—are reasonable” and there is insufficient data on abusive requests to make any conclusion on the prevalence of “nuisance requesters.” The center, a joint effort between the University of Washington and Washington State University, helps communities build consensus on public-policy issues, according to its website.

Nancy Krier, the assistant attorney general for open gov-ernment, is developing the training, which is expected to be low to no-cost.

“The training we hope will help not only foster a culture of compliance, but we also hope to reduce payouts,” she said in an interview.

Training could be done online or at an in-person train-ing session. The attorney general’s office recently uploaded a training page that includes resources for understanding the public records laws. It will eventually include videos, Krier said.

“Agency compliance is only as good as it’s weakest link,” Krier said.

The fiscal note for the bill predicts no additional cost to the attorney general’s office, adding that the impact to local government is unclear. Training costs could increase, but agencies could save money as a result of reductions in civil penalties and litigation.

Pollet said the bill is more likely to affect smaller jurisdictions or state agen-cies with a high turnover in public records staff. He said he expects a vote next week on HB 2121 in the House Committee on Government Operations and Elections. The Senate is considering a similar bill.

Public records 101 for gov’t officials? Proposed law would send public employees to ‘open-records’ school

Washington Public Meetings ActThe Public Records Act was initially enacted by

Initiative 276 in 1972 and amended numerous times since. It is codified in Chapter 42.56 of the Revised Code of Washington.

The provisions of the act are broad and the exceptions narrow. The act applies to state government, the legisla-ture, county and city governments, and special purpose districts; it does not apply to the court system.

The Municipal Research and Services Center has written a comprehensive report on the Pubic Records Act which can be found at www.mrsc.org/publications/pra13.pdf.

Islanders get first shot at county park campsites

The San Juan County Parks department is con-tinuing its “residents only” opportunity to pre-reserve campsites at county parks.

This year, the popular County Parks program offers residents a chance to make prime-time sum-mer camping reservations between Jan. 13 and Feb. 27.

This offer is available for camping at San Juan, Odlin (Lopez), and Shaw Island county parks and the coun-ty fairgrounds R.V. camp-sites. Camping reservations for the general public will begin March 1.

All three of the county campgrounds are located on the waterfront, with spectacular views, beauti-ful beaches, and small-craft boat launches. The coun-

ty fairgrounds offers R.V. camping with water and electrical hook-ups, close proximity to downtown Friday Harbor and a public beach.

Proof of residency will be required (verifiable local address and phone number, driver’s license, or voter reg-istration). Additional infor-

mation is available on the county parks website: san-juanco.com/Parks/camping.aspx.

County residents can email ([email protected]) or call the County Parks Department at 378-8420 for a reservation form.

Too many properties sit on the market for months without buyers walking through or making o� ers. Why? It could be the home is over priced for this market, or perhaps it needs to be spruced-up a bit; we call this staging.Walk through your home and visualize how a potential buyer might see it. Do you need to remove clutter, paint a room or clean the yard up? Look in your cupboards and closets; are they bulging at the seams? If they are crammed, buyers may think there is not adequate storage. Clean it up and clear it out. Rent a storage area for the time your home is on the market for personal items you just can’t live without. Sometimes it is nothing more than moving your furniture around for better space planning of tra� c patterns. Take out that over-stu� ed chair and free up some space.

Remember you buy a home, but you sell a house. The extra work can really help buyers visualize your house as their home. Fell free to call me with any questions.

its tenure on the U.S. Endangered Species Act.

The three biggest threats to the population’s long-

term survival are lack of prey (salmon), pollution and disturbance from boats, according to NMFS.

In August, federal offi-cials authorized spending roughly $900,000 for “on-the-water enforcement” for

additional protection of the killer whales in response to a grant application by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife

Critical habitat designa-tions prevent the federal government from under-taking or approving activi-ties that reduce an area’s ability to support an endan-gered species. Studies show that species with designated critical habitat are more than twice as likely to exhib-

it improving population trends than those without this additional protection.

“Killer whales are important to the identity and spirit of the Pacific Northwest, and beloved by people across the country,” Uhlemann said. “If this population of amazing, extremely intelligent ani-mals is going to survive for future generations, we need to do more to protect their most important habitat.”

Journal staff reportA part-time resident of San Juan Island is missing and

believed to have died when a two-seat aircraft went down off the central California coast on the afternoon of Jan. 14, according to The San Luis Obispo Tribune News.

David Casey, 63, of Friday Harbor is believed to have been piloting the Morrisey 2150 aircraft when it lost altitude and struck the water in mid-afternoon. Authorities believe that two people were aboard the plane when it crashed.

Tony Cipolla of the San Luis Obispo Sheriff ’s office said that unidentified human remains and a wallet with David B. Casey’s identification were found about one mile offshore, near the site of the crash. Casey is a part-time resident of California and San Juan Island, with a home and airplane hanger on Cessna Avenue, near Roche Harbor Resort air-strip. He reportedly has not been seen in the Roche Harbor area for several months.

Federal Aviation Administration records list David Casey and Timothy J. Casey of Avila Beach, Calif, as co-builders

of the aircraft, a single-engine Morrisey 2150, made from a kit. There are no survivors and authorities haven’t found the bodies.

According to the Tribune, witnesses heard a plane flying low overhead and saw a splash in the ocean about a mile off-shore on the afternoon of Jan. 14, at about 2:15 p.m. One witness reportedly heard an explosion. Pismo Beach is roughly 100 miles north of Santa Barbara.

In addition to the wallet and human remains, Cipolla said a search-and-recovery team found an airplane seat in the area of the crash. Authorities believe the plane went down in an area where the depth of water is about 80 feet.

Casey was a commercial pilot who flew for American Airlines for 34 years, according to the Tribune.

Nearly a half-dozen agencies were called in to help search for the wreckage and the pilot of the plane. Cipolla said authorities have spoken with members of the Casey family but no other information about David Casey or his where-abouts are available at this time.

String of thefts nets 80 days of volunteer service

A Mercer Island man was ordered to perform 640 hours of community resti-tution for a string of thefts and vehicle prowls, and for stalking.

On Dec. 27, David Barness Schwartz, 36, pleaded guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to

five misdemeanor offens-es, including third-degree theft, first-degree criminal trespass and stalking. He was sentenced by Judge Don Eaton to 365 days in jail with 274 days suspended for two years, and ordered to pay $850 in fines and fees, and $1,514 in restitution.

According to court doc-uments, Schwartz, who reportedly suffers from problems of mental health, foraged through the streets of Friday Harbor looking for cars to plunder, and stole belongings from about a half-dozen, over three successive days, beginning Sept. 7, after attending a relative’s wedding at Roche Harbor Resort.

He reportedly tried to

befriend a local realtor, tried without success to cash a stolen check at a bowling alley in Anacortes, and was arrested following an unan-nounced visit to a real estate agent’s office.

Mercer, who was credited with having served 10 days of the 90-day jail term, will be allowed to perform 80 days of community restitu-tion at a Seattle-area Jewish Community Services center in lieu of jail.

Date extended for comment on ‘Growler’ review

Responding to a let-ter from San Juan County Councilman Jamie Stevens asking for a 60-day exten-sion of the Environment Impact Statement con-cerning the addition of 13 “Growlers” to the EA-18

electronic warfare fleet, the Navy yesterday announced it would extend the scoping period for comments until Friday, Jan. 30.

The Navy announcement said the extension was made “[i]n response to public and elected official requests, and in order to ensure all surrounding communities have ample opportunity to provide input.”

Stephens’ letter pointed out that the San Juan Islands are only 6.5 nautical miles from the NAS Whidbey runways, closer than either Anacortes or Coupeville, both of which were chosen by the Navy for EIS scoping meetings.

Stephens asked for a local scoping meeting in the San Juans, but Ted Brown, Public Affairs spokesman for the Navy’s Fleet Forces Command in Norfolk, Va., said the time extension was for comments only and

would not include addition-al public meetings to the three already held.

Public comments should be sent to: EA-18G EIS Project Manager, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Atlantic, 6506 Hampton Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23508, or to the project website, www.whidbeyeis.com.

Demolition of FH Port building now under way

A total of 28 construction dumpsters will be needed to haul away the charred remains of Downriggers restaurant and the rest of the former Spring Street Landing building, as part of the much-anticipated demolition of the build-

ing destroyed by fire on Aug 17.

Port of Friday Harbor Executive Director Marilyn O’Connor expected the demolition to start Tuesday, Jan. 21 and to be completed within three weeks. The amount of the contract, with MEM Excavation of Friday Harbor, is roughly $82,000, O’Connor said.

O’Connor also said that the insurance settlement for replacement of the building has not yet been reached and she gave no date for completion.

The new Spring Street Landing building design will be reviewed at the Jan. 22 meeting of the Port of Friday Harbor Commission, beginning at 4 p.m., at the San Juan Island Yacht Club.

Too much to bear for critical mission?

The Seahawk fans are proud of their reputation as being the loudest stadium in the NFL. The noise level sometimes exceeds that of a jet taking off.

Football is entertaining and is a sport. The training required for maintaining mission readiness for the F/A-18 Growlers is not; it is essential.

We live on the south end of Lopez in the same area as that of the author concerned about the noise. As navy veterans, perhaps our ears are more sympathetic to the noise of these EW/ECW aircraft. We understand the critical role they play in the mission of the carrier battle groups air wing.

With the Obama admin-istration’s strategic pivot to the Pacific, more flying from NAS Whidbey would be expected. The accusation that Whidbey aircraft were seen dumping fuel west of the naval station begs for authentication. It is easy to allege such happenings.

However, the who, what, when, where and why specifics need to be cited. Events such as those claimed are bound by strict policy and rules. If report-ed, a thorough investigation can establish ground rules and appropriate account-ability for those responsible.

Finally, the caveat “Buyers Beware” is quite appropriate in any real estate transac-tion.

We have lived in our home for 20 years. The F/A-18’s predecessor, the A-6 Prowlers, were flying when

we purchased our land. They were just recently replaced by Growlers.

Deputy deserves apology; my bad

Students success requires support

On Feb. 11, 2014, San Juan Island School District will ask its voters to renew the 4-year Maintenance and Operations (M&O) levy.

The M&O levy is vital to the School District’s bud-get and makes up nearly 20 percent. “Basic Education Funding” provided by the state of Washington is not sufficient to fully fund our district’s programs.

Renewal of this levy sus-tains the continuing excel-lence of our instructional and co-curricular programs.

This nearly 1/5th of the budget helps fund; addition-al teaching positions neces-sary to ensure reasonable class sizes and comprehen-sive student schedules, more than state-provided staffing for music, visual arts, librar-ies, and technology, and programs such as Advanced Placement, enrichment and community-based courses.

Fortunately for students, tax-payers have voted posi-tively for many years.

This levy is not new to voters. In March of 2010 you generously voted “Yes” on this same M&O levy and it is now time to renew for the next four years.

Please continue to help our students learn, grow, and be all they can be. Vote “Yes” on SJI School District Renewal M&O Levy. Thank you for your kindly support.

Kudos to Customs for job well done

Open letter to County Councilman Rick Hughes:

Rick; Just a thank you for steering a great meeting (Friday, Jan. 17, at the Mullis St. fire station). There were a great deal of good com-ments and questions.

The Customs staff showed compassion and compromise. The city made clear that it would monitor any and all performances by our officers in their new offices.

I have crossed the marine borders many times and the system works. I have seen nothing but profes-sionals administer the clearances.

I want the fine officers to know that the majority of this island supports them in every way and that the majority surely thank them for their front line defense of this nation’s borders and protecting our billion-dollar agriculture industry from pestilence. I shudder to think what would hap-pen if they were not doing their job.

I will also reiterate that if

indeed an event of horren-dous proportions were to occur in our little commu-nity, the screams of “Where are they!” would be vocifer-ous.

I consider these brave patriots to be on the same frontlines and deserve the same respect as all those soldiers trying to protect our country from those that might not like our lifestyle.

Thank you for your ser-vice to this wonderful group of islands.

One bad apple, good bunch at risk

It would appear that San Juan County Sheriff Rob Nou has been present-ed with a very fortunate Christmas gift—a clear and early warning on the seri-ous threat to his department embodied in the form of deputy Felix Menjivar.

After reading all the published reports on the

Christmas Eve hayride inci-dent in Friday Harbor, one can’t help but be alarmed that one of the first instincts of one of our sworn officers of the law when confronted with a well-illuminated float full of Christmas carolers and children, but lacking a working taillight, is to go for his gun.

There is absolutely no excuse for this loss of per-sonal control, especially in a supposedly well-trained police officer.

But for the swift actions of a more mature fellow deputy on the scene, this could have exploded into a major tragedy. Deputy Menjivar nearly succeeded in placing the San Juan Islands on the national map for all the wrong reasons.

Our peaceful island com-munity is well-served by the rest of the Sheriff ’s Office employees and I have had nothing but the best of relationships with all those I’ve come in contact with. Their professionalism and courteous demeanor would

make me proud to call any of them a friend.

Sadly, Deputy Menjivar cannot be called one of these professionals. His lack of self control and danger-ous, hot-headed behavior in public has put a stain on the reputation of this otherwise excellent department.

Our community’s citizens are now proclaiming their lack of trust not only in Mr. Menjivar, but the depart-ment as a whole due to his close association with them. Once trust is lost, it is very difficult to reclaim.

Sheriff Nou is a good and honorable man whose per-sonal and professional repu-tation is now at risk because of one “rogue cop”.

In this era of “zero toler-ance” over violence, bully-ing, and gun crimes, the sheriff should take full and immediate advantage of this warning by removing Mr. Menjivar from his post before the unthinkable hap-pens.

Peace Island Medical Center was awarded a grant by the Washington Office of the

Attorney General to provide three series of diabetes classes over the course of this next year.

“On the Road to Living Well with Diabetes” is a free program open to all persons with pre-diabetes and dia-betes and their spouse/caregiver. The next session starts Tuesday, Jan. 21, from noon to 2 p.m., at the Skagit Community College classroom.

Taught by a dietitian/diabetes educa-tor and nurse/diabetes educator, topics include: meal planning, medication management, glucose management, physical activity, and disease preven-tion. Special guest speakers include a pharmacist, ophthalmologist, and a physical therapist to address topics and answer questions and concerns.

The first session of six class-es wrapped up before the holidays and participants received free blood pressure, blood cholesterol and A1C screening. Results show participants in the class had a significant improve-ment in their A1C, a measure of their

blood glucose levels. Individuals also demonstrated

improvement in their blood pressure and knowledge of how to better man-age diabetes and improve their health.

All participants rated the class as very helpful in achieving control of their diabetes and preventing diabetes associated complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, eye damage and stroke.

There are 26 million people in the U.S. with diabetes and, of those, 7 million are undiagnosed. In addi-tion, another 79 million people have pre-diabetes, a condition that increas-es their risk of developing diabetes. Diabetes affects 27 percent of people age 65 and older.

Diabetes increases the risk for heart attack, stroke, kidney disease and nerve damage, but these complica-tions may be prevented or minimized by making lifestyle changes in diet, physical activity and medications.

On the Road to Living Well with Diabetes aims to help people get the information and feel empowered to make positive changes, and to improve their health. The class series will repeat again on May 6.

For more information about the class or to register please call 360-317-6250 or email [email protected].

Editorial

Gateway on shaky ground The Journal seconds the county coun-

cil’s consternation that the scope of the Gateway Pacific Environmental Impact

Statement pays scant attention to the islands.But the project may have reached a critical

juncture that could result in its proponents “pull-ing the plug” on Cherry Point.

Goldman Sachs, which had held a 49 percent equity interest in the company that controls SSA Marine, the lead entity in proposing the project, has sold its interest in the company. The purchaser is a Mexican conglomerate owned by a billionaire with extensive transportation interests. Mexico would be a very attractive alter-native site to Cherry Point, and SSA is already operating there.

Serious questions about the project remain: rail traffic problems appear insurmountable; the EIS will cost millions and likely result in a lawsuit that could last a decade; the tribes are implacable opponents - and might themselves sue; coal is losing luster as a good investment and China is moving quickly to replace urban coal-fired plants with less polluting gas-fired ones.

In the end, the project, as they say, just might not pencil out. Shades of GSX.

Recent ads in the Journal question the need for afford-able housing on San Juan Island.

According to the Washington Center for Real Estate Research’s Housing Affordability Index, San Juan County continues to have by far the least affordable housing of any county in the state.

Did you know that enrollment in our public school sys-tem continues to drop? Families cannot afford to remain here. Over 40 percent of the children now enrolled in our local schools are eligible for free or reduced-rate lunches. These are children of the service people on whom we all depend: workers in local businesses, at the hospital, at our schools, and more.

Despite the apparent wealth of our island, we have a large and largely unacknowledged population of people liv-ing just above, at or below the poverty level. These are the people who need affordable home ownership and preserve a strong and diverse community on our island. We need to avoid having to bring in transient workers every day – as islands on the East Coast now must do.

There are two affordable housing programs on San Juan: Homes for Islanders (HFI) and the San Juan Community Home Trust (Home Trust). Both have accomplished a lot using very different approaches.

Homes for Islanders uses USDA grants to purchase land and operate their program. The homebuyers “group build,” with each person working 35 hours per week, contributing 65 percent of their home’s construction, usually requiring a year. The owner then has a USDA mortgage and can sell the house on the speculative real estate market. For first-time owners it may be a good investment if they can afford to put in the time on construction while also working to earn their required income.

Clearly this program doesn’t work for everyone in need of an affordable home, which is why HFI’s ads ask-ing if there is still a need for affordable homes could confuse the public - espe-cially supporters of afford-able housing.

The Home Trust, for which I volunteer, designs and builds homes to com-pletion. Land is purchased with a combination of grants and donations from supporters in our commu-nity. Homebuyers must have lived in San Juan County for two years, have income of no more than 80 percent of Area Median Income (AMI), have a stable earning history, acceptable credit and man-ageable debt.

A critical difference between the two programs comes at the time of resale. The sale price of Home Trust homes is determined by a formula. Home prices can only rise as fast as AMI, which keeps the home available to the same income group in the future. Thus, the homes are “permanently affordable”.

Government grants and subsidies are therefore recycled and passed forward to successive homeowners. Moreover, when homeowners wish to sell, the Home Trust assists new quali-fied buyers to obtain a mortgage. The home does not go onto the speculative market. Our own waiting list provides the next buyer with a well-cared for permanently affordable home.

Yes, we still need affordable housing programs on San Juan Island. I urge you to learn about both and volunteer your help.

Islanders offer input about parks, trails, plans and enjoy freshly baked pizza as part of a Mitchell Hill and Westcott Bay Trails Workshop, today, Jan. 22 at the Mullis Senior Center.

San Juan Island National Historical Park, which is sponsoring the work-shop to gather input on trail use and design, is in the process of drafting a development concept plan for 382 acres of uplands, forests and shoreline that became part of English Camp in 2010 and 2013.

According to park Integrated Resources Manager Jerald Weaver, the vision is to establish a system of trails for non-motorized use at Mitchell Hill and Westcott Bay that honors the unique character of these secluded

coastal wetland and forest areas. Input from the workshop will help provide a blueprint for future facilities and rec-reation for each new area.

“Our goal is to provide walking,

bicycling and equestrian trail experi-ences, along with enhanced accessibil-ity to these trails,” Weaver said. “We want to foster cooperation between the park, trail users and neighboring landowners, and we need help from islanders in guiding development of a trail system at English Camp that both meets the needs of the park and enhances our island community — please come join the conversation.”

The trails connect English Camp to adjoining properties, support a diver-sity of recreation, and are an integral part of the island-wide community trail system.

The Trails Workshop will consist of two parts: focus on existing trail use and conditions, and exploring and planning for the future, looking specifically at potential multiple and single-use trails, access to trails and trailheads, resource protection, and opportunities for interpretation and visitor-support facilities.

Park volunteers install a puncheon over a creek on a temporary trail between Bell Point at English Camp and Westcott Bay.

Friday Harbor artist Annie Howell-Adams is set to do it all over again.

After viewing the Heritage Mural at San Juan Island’s Peace Island Medical Center, cre-ated by Howell-Adams, PeaceHealth officials invit-ed her to view their hospital in Bellingham, and asked her to consider creating a similar mural at St. Joseph’s.

Following a recent meet-ing with hospital officials, historians, and the hospital art committee, she learned her proposal had been selected.

With archival images pro-vided Whatcom Museum to help in the design, the 70-foot mural, which will be painted in Friday Harbor, on aluminum panels, will be installed at the hospital in the fall of 2014.

You could always hear her coming.When orca whales surface for a breath, they emit a highly audible “pfft” sound.

These exhalations are powerful, traveling at speeds of up to 100 mph in some cases, and can be heard from miles away on a calm day.

Orca enthusiasts always jump at the sound, sometimes the first indication that orcas are present. All orcas’ breaths sounds pretty much the same – except for one very special female, Speiden.

Hobbes Buchanan has worked on the water as a captain and naturalist for 10 years, three of those running his own operation, San Juan Island Whale and Wildlife Tours. He has fond memories of J-8, Speiden, missing since the latter part of last year and now presumed dead.

“She was the old girl, the one we called the ‘old wheezer’,” Buchanan said. “She was so friendly and curious, and easy for people who have trouble with ID’ing whales, because you could hear her.”

Speiden was the second-oldest whale in the southern resident killer whale community, trailing only J-2, or Granny. Researchers estimate she was born in 1933. Whale-watchers in the San Juans have always felt great affection for the venerable orca, whose exhalation was always accented by that distinctive wheeze.

It will be notably absent from the Salish Sea this coming summer, when J, K, and L pods hopefully return to our area to feast on Chinook salmon and delight visitors and residents alike.

Unfortunately, the most significant word in that sentence is “hopefully.”

There is a tall tale propagated by some of the eldest fisher-men of the Pacific Northwest. They say once upon a time there were so many salmon in the inland waters of what is now the Salish Sea that one could walk across their backs. This abundance of food brought great numbers of orcas here, too.

That vision certainly doesn’t match up with reality. The summer of 2013 held the lowest number of orca sightings since tracking began

over three decades ago. The southern resident community of killer whales was at an all-time peak of 98 individuals in 1995, and then abruptly suffered a significant drop of 20 percent from 1996-2001, which prompted their listing as an endangered species.

During the last few years, the population has steadily declined. 2013 ended with a

just 80 orcas, a dangerously low number. Only 16 of those are breeding-age females, making it almost impossible for the orcas to reproduce fast enough to keep the population stable. To make matters worse, 2013 brought four deaths and zero births.

The folks who run the whale-watching boats here – the captains and naturalists who have watched the population sink closer and closer to extinction – have only become more concerned and stewardship-mind-ed over the years.

“I’ve seen the industry do a total 360 in the ten years I’ve been doing this,” Buchanan said. “Everybody’s on their best behavior now, and working hard to ensure that these whales continue to be protected.”

If you want to help the orcas, there are several ways to start. Choose wild-caught salmon over farm-raised. The chemicals and antibiotics used to regulate production in fish farms are toxic to the surrounding wild ecosystem; not enough Chinook salmon are spawning, which is leading to a total collapse of the orcas’ primary source of food.

W h e n you go whale-watch-ing, be sure to choose a c o m p a n y that is a member of the Pacific W h a l e Wa t c h

Association. These operators

have all agreed to follow a strict set of

“whale-wise” guidelines, including staying 200 yards away from the whales at all times, watching them from a parallel angle rather than blocking their path, and not staying with any one group of whales for more than an hour at a time.

Even the choices you make in household products can affect the whales. By choosing “green” cleaning products such as dish soap, laundry detergent, and household clean-ers, you can ensure that the products going down your sink won’t end up in the orcas’ systems.

There is nothing quite like the magnificent sight of those sleek black fins sluicing through the surface of the water, in perfect harmony with one another. When visitors witness their beauty and complex social behaviors and leave with a new awareness of the natural world, it’s easy to see the importance of preserving our orcas. The start of 2014 is the perfect time to start making sure that we keep them there.

Tribute to Speiden

From the hilarity of a happy hour where bar patrons speak only in bumper sticker talk, to serious issues like bul-lying and teen suicide, San Juan Community Theatre’s new Playwrights “On the Fringe” showcases a variety of themes and an abundance of island talent.

“On the Fringe” will be presented on the Whittier stage Friday and Saturday, Jan. 24 -25 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, Jan. 26 at 2 p.m.

This newly created version of past island playwrights fes-tivals took the judging out of the process and opened up an almost “anything goes” format—allowing writers of all ages and experience to submit their work.

“What hit me the most about this festival is the depth of so many of the subjects being written about,” said Fringe coordinator Julie Laidlaw. “I think it says a lot about what we’re trying to express to each other.”

Each of the short plays and monologues, about a dozen in all, features both directors and actors from the islands.

For a complete schedule of plays and monologues, and lineup of playwrights and actors, visit www.sjctheatre.org.

Seahawks fans Frank and Molly Finch are winners of SanJuanJournal.com’s 12th Man photo contest.

In support of their favorite foot-ball team, and for the holidays, the Finchs decorated their house in long strands of brightly lit blue and green Christmas lights, an eye-catching dis-play of 12th Man spirit.

As winners of the contest, the Finchs

will receive a $50 gift certificate from Ace Hardware.

If the offense can find its stride and consistently score some points, Molly Finch believes the Seahawks have a good chance of reaching the Super Bowl.

“Our defense is awesome,” Finch said. “As long as our offense does its part, I think our chances are good.”

Friday Harbor bounced back from its first loss of the new year to notch its fourth victory in five games with a 80-22 runaway win over Orcas, Friday, on the road.

Earlier in the week, the Wolverines (6-7 overall) dismantled Meridian in a 51-26 blowout at home in Turnbull Gym.

Otis-Cooper West knocked down four three-pointers in the first half and scored a game-high 18 points to lead the Wolverines in the win over Meridian. Peter Strasser tallied 12 and Gabe Lawson added 10 points.

Despite the lopsided score, senior C.J. Woods and company took added pleasure in handing their long-stand-

ing Whatcom County rival a decisive defeat.

“It’s Meridian,” Woods said. “They’re a good team but they always beat us in football and its seems like they just think that they’re better than us.”

Points proved hard to come by for

the Trojans. The Wolverines grabbed an early 16-5 advantage in the opening period and held the Trojans to just a single point in the third quarter.

Friday Harbor carried a decisive 43-17 lead into the fourth and final period of play. Blake Briones topped the Trojans with 15 of the team’s 26 points.

The Wolverines started the new year with back-to-back wins on the road, dismantling Mount Vernon Christian by 38 on the heels of a 27-point vic-tory over Nooksack Valley. They fell to University Prep 51-46 in a non-conference road contest, Jan. 11.

The Wolverines host Concrete, Thursday; tip off is 5:30 p.m., and return home Saturday, Feb. 1, to host Blaine, following three consecutive games on the road.

Seattle Optometrist Helps LEGALLY BLIND to See!

Patient Driving with Bioptic Telescopic Glasses

Just because you have macular degeneration (or other vision-limiting conditions) doesn’t always mean you must give up driving or reading. A Seattle optometrist, Dr. Ross Cusic, is using miniaturized binoculars or telescopes to help people who have lost vision from macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy or other eye conditions. “Our job is to figure out everything and anything possible to keep a person functioning,” says Dr. Cusic. “Whether it’s driving, reading, TV, seeing faces, check writing, bingo or bridge. We work with whatever is on the person’s ‘wish list.’”

With interest-free payment options this technology is now more affordable than ever. “Definitely worth the $2150 cost. I should have come sooner,” said Dr. Cusic’s patient. For more information and a FREE telephone consultation, Call Today: 877-823-2020
