1. The ONE place not to be is in the path of whales. Don’t position your vessel in the path of oncoming whales

within 400 yards of a whale2. Stay at least TWO hundred yards away from any killer whale (200 yards = the distance of two football fields or

about 200 meters).3. Remember these THREE ways to Be Whale Wise: follow the guidlines for viewing all wildlifte, check for local

protected areas and restrictions, and always be safe.WHO do the new rules apply to? All motorized and non motorized vessels (including kayaks), with exceptions to

maintain safe navigation and for certain types of vessels in the course of official duties, ships in the shipping lanes,

research vessels under permit, and vessels lawfully engaged in commercial or treaty Indian fishing that are actively

setting, retrieving, or closely tending fishing gear.

WHAT do the new rules say? Except for specific exceptions,

it is unlawful for any person subject to the jurisdiction of the

United States to:I. Cause a vessel to approach, in any manner within 200 yards (182.9 m) of any killer whale.II. Position a vessel to be in the path of any killer whale at any point

located within 400 yards (365.8 m) of the whale.WHEN do the new rules go into effect? May 16, 2011WHERE do the new rules apply? In inland waters of Washington

State- east of the entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca and south

of the U.S./Canada international boundary.WHY did NOAA adopt new regulations? Southern Resident killer whales were listed as endangered in 2005. Vessel impacts were identified as one of the threats. These new regulations implement an action in the recovery plan and are

designed to protect all killer whales by reducing impacts from

vessels. Additional background information on the rationale

and analyses to support the regulations are available atwww.nwr.noaa.gov. Visit www.bewhalewise.org to learn more, down-

load the laws, regulations, and guidelines, and to report violationsReport Violations:NOAA Of� ce of LawEnforcement:1-800-853-1964or online atwww.bewhalewise.org

In 2011, NOAA Fisheries Service adopted new regulations under the Marine

Mammal Protection Act and Endangered Species Act to protect all killer whales.

Journal staff reportState officials cited negli-

gence as a factor in impos-ing a $112,500 fine against an Anacortes-based seafood com-pany, whose fishing boat acci-dentally sank in Bellingham Channel, near Guemes Island, a year ago in July.

Following investigation of the sinking of the Clam Digger, owned by American Gold Seafoods, the Washington state Department of Ecology deter-mined negligence on the part of the company was responsible for 315 gallons of oil that was spilled into the channel during recovery of the 59-foot sunken boat.

“This spill was preventable,” said Dale Jensen, manager of Ecology’s Spill Prevention, Preparedness and Response Program. “The Clam Digger was not adequately maintained, and not fit for its intended use that day.”

When the Clam Digger encountered high waves after it left Anacortes on July 10, began taking on water, and eventually sank. The company immediately initiated appropri-ate response protocols, accord-ing to Ecology, and six days later divers recovered the boat. However, during the recovery as much as 315 gallons of oil spilled.

The 59-foot boat reportedly was carrying 2,700 to 3,000 gallons of diesel fuel at the

Turns out a slight modification to the roofline – to lower its pitch – didn’t quite do the trick.

The Friday Harbor Town Council gave preliminary approv-al July 17 to the much-debated design of the new Spring Street Landing building, a multi-million dollar construction and replace-ment project destine for the site of the former two-story water-

front building (once home of Downriggers Restaurant) gut-ted by fire, and damaged beyond repair, nearly 11 months ago.

The Town Council, prompted by concerns of the buildings height and impact on waterfront views, requested late last month that the Port of Friday Harbor offer up a modification to the roofline, with a slightly lower pitch. The build-ing’s design, as well as roofline,

had earned an endorsement of the town Historical Review Board.

Still, council members wondered if a lower pitch might lessen the impact. The modification revealed as much would be lost as gained, Councilman Farhad Ghatan said.

“It ended up blocking other views because it actually got a bit squattier”, Ghatan said of the roof

The good news is that global warming is happening much slow-er than predicted.

The bad news is that we are doing absolutely nothing to stop these inevitable changes.

These are the facts accord-ing to Dr. Cliff Mass, professor of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington.

Jason Wood is a lieutenant in the San Juan Island Fire Rescue, assigned to Roche Harbor Station 35.

He has been with the department since 2005, giving him nine years of service. His first firefighting experience was at UC Davis, for a restoration ecology class where he helped conduct prescribed burns to restore native grasslands.

Since joining the department he has also had the oppor-tunity to join Washington state mobilizations in Eastern Washington. These have been great learning experiences and also helps ensure that if we ever have ‘the big one’ here, other fire departments across the state will come to help us as well.

Like all firefighters, Jason gets a certain amount of satis-faction from being there for his community. But, when he read Howard (of “Go With The Flow” fame) Schonberger’s article in the Journal of the San Juan Islands, in 2005, about the possibility of fire station closures because of a lack of firefighters, he decided to join. He was in the process of building his home then and didn’t like the idea of his local fire station closing.

San Juan County still struggles to get enough people to join the fire department, which can affect emergency response rates and fire insurance costs. No previous fire-fighting experience is needed to join the department (extensive training provided) so please consider contacting the fire department to help out your community.

You’d be joining an interesting and varied group of people who make up the department, learn valuable safety and emergency skills, contribute to your community in a mean-ingful way, and bring home a little extra money (you get paid for training and response).

Jason was born in Olympia but spent the first 18 years of his life living in Europe and Africa. Jason and his wife, Wendy, have two children. Tristan, 22, attends Western Washington University, while Echo, 16, is in her junior year at Friday Harbor High School.

Jason’s other (real) job is Operations Manager & Senior Research Scientist for the Sea Mammal Research Unit, a company owned by the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. He runs the U.S. and Canadian offices.

San Juan Island Fire Rescue welcomes all interested men and women to drop by the station on Mullis Street and make an appointment to attend a drill on Monday nights to see what we are all about. The structural firefighting class

will begin in September. Join us. Our phone number is 360-378-5334.

Mass, known for his pop-ular weather blog, discussed truths and myths about global warming, the media’s incorrect coverage of topics relating to the health of the globe and the affects of coal production on our lives.

Global warmingAlthough global warming

may have a more predomi-nate role in our conversa-tions and news sources as of late, Mass says the idea is nothing new. He referenced a paper published in 1896 that pointed to concerns that still are applicable today. Svante Arrhenius, a Swedish scien-tist, was the first to claim in the late 1800s that “fossil fuel combustion may eventu-ally result in enhanced global warming.”

What is new is the ques-tion of how warming will affect different parts of our country. According to Mass, global warming is not uniform. For instance, in Southern California and Mexico the climate will be dryer. On the other hand, areas like the Pacific Northwest and Alaska will become wetter. The Pacific Northwest in itself is an interesting region to explore when it comes to climate

change because of how little it has warmed.

Our weather is controlled buy the Pacific Ocean, and research has shown that the Eastern Pacific has not warmed.

According to an article in the journal Nature climate changes has increased trade winds blowing east to west, creating cool temperatures on the surface of these waters.

An article in The Scientific American goes on to say that, “findings out-lined in the paper bolster the idea that much of the warmth that would other-wise have heated the Earth’s surface has gone into the Pacific Ocean.”

Despite the anomaly of the Pacific, Mass said overall we should be con-cerned about the planet. He referred to earlier research that suggested climate mod-els were too sensitive and therefore pointed to more extreme predications.

The PauseMass calls the media

portion of his talk “the fun part.” Over the years, Mass has watched incorrect reporting of science from major mainstream news sources.

“Much of the media information is downright wrong,” he said.

For example, the lack of global warming in the past decade, also known as “the

pause,” has been used in the media to prove that climate change is not occurring.

He explained that human-induced warming is not strong enough to overcome natural periods of cooling. A recent lull in sunspots, El Ninos and volcanoes has also contributed to the lack of warming.

“Eventually, human-induced warming wins.” Mass said.

As for the overall ques-tions of why the media is failing, Mass believes too many media outlets do not take the time or have the time to fully research sci-ence issues.

After a quick Google search, this author found several well-researched articles pop up from the Scientific American and the Economist about this very issue and the reporters made the same assertions as Mass about “the pause.”

According to the Economist, “Like the Terminator, global warming will be back.”

CoalThe main problem, as

Mass sees it, is that fossil fuel production is increas-ing at a much higher rate than renewable energy.

After an audience mem-ber asked what we can do in our community for the envi-ronment, Mass answered: “Change China and the rap-

idly growing number of coal emissions. To change China, we must develop energy technologies.”

In the meantime he agrees with many islanders who have said no to the nearby proposed coal terminal.

If approved, the $650 million Gateway Terminal would be the largest bulk export facility on the West Coast, perhaps in the nation.

At full capacity, it would be capable of exporting up to 54 million metric tons of coal a year from the plant that SSA Marine, which operates an export terminal at the Port of Seattle and others worldwide, is seek-ing to build at Cherry Point, just north of Bellingham.

The coal would then be shipped through the Salish Sea and San Juans by cargo ships, may of which mea-sure more than three foot-ball fields in length, to Asian markets, where it would be sold as fuel.

Mass told the crowd that coal and oil trains are a bad idea because of the potential for an oil spill in the water.

After speaking for near-ly an hour about global warming, media reporting and coal production, Mass closed his lecture by making it clear that global warming is happening.

“This is a serious issue and we are mucking around with this planet,” he said.

Four years after the purchase of the last remaining indus-trial building in Friday Harbor, and its renovation since, the San Juan Island Agricultural Guild last week announced that the Brickworks building is paid for, and now debt free.

The Ag Guild’s final payment on the mortgage stands as the culmination of a long, sometimes controversial journey that followed the property’s initial purchase in late 2010, with a Washington state grant of $365,000 and a federal USDA grant of $100,000, joining some $228,000 in private donations.

The Ag Guild then embarked on a community wide fundraising effort to support its vision of completely repur-posing the property as a permanent home for the San Juan Islands Farmers Market.

Over subsequent years that vision, which became the Brickworks Project, appear to captured the imagination of the community with increasing zeal, and donations of time, labor and money.

“Though the odds initially seemed daunting, we strongly believed in the worthiness of the cause,” said Susie Wampler, Ag Guild Board chairwoman. “We believed that if we built it, they would come. And come they did, with donations ranging from $5 to over $100,000 added to over 35,000 hours of volunteer time and the gift of many talents.”

In the spring of 2013, a $100,000 matching-grant chal-lenge by the Town of Friday Harbor was quickly met by further generous donations from private individuals and foundations.

In June 2013, the grand opening of the renovated build-ing cemented the investment in the project, and Brickworks not only became the home of a successful farmers market

and art market, but also a popular venue for meetings, pre-sentations, concerts, educational events, and both private and public celebrations.

A final fundraising push in the spring of 2014 brought in several additional major private community donations and a significant matching grant challenge from the San Juan Island Community Foundation, which pushed the funding drive over the top.

In all, over $1 million in private funding was raised to complement the federal, state and town grants, allowing the Ag Guild to fully renovate and repurpose the building, develop the plaza, add a community kitchen, pay off the mortgage, and then some.

“This multi-year public-private partnership has allowed us to achieve not only our original dream, but also to proceed with further outfitting of the building to make it suitable for an even wider range of events” Wampler said.

alteration. “I think the council also felt it was wrong of us to second guess a public process of 6-8 months that went into the design for 16 inches here or there, and there are views and open space for the public that weren’t there before.”

The building gives Mayor Carrie Lacher concern. Although the view of the waterfront may be greater overall, with new sight-lines available because of the design, Lacher fears the height of the building might prove uncomfortable for some.

“It’s going to be very tall building,” she said. “For a pedes-trian on the sidewalk it could be imposing.”

The council is expected to give final approval to the design, project and a shoreline development permit, along with “findings of facts and conclusion of law” for the water-front project, at its Aug. 7 meeting. Port Commissioner Mike Ahrenius said approval of the project will be a step in the right direction, but that much has yet to be done before

the port can break ground, including final drawing, pricing and putting the project out to bid.

“We showed them both and I’m happy with the choice,” Ahrenius said. “What you see today was done through a long public process and with due diligence.”

The new building is intended to replace the former Spring Street Landing Building, once the home of Downriggers Restaurant and three other waterfront businesses. The top floor of the building was razed and destroyed by fire in the early morning hours of Aug. 17, 2013. All four busi-nesses and their employees were displaced as a result of the inferno.

After an initial design for the new building met opposition earlier in the year, the most recent design, which includes a public plaza, restaurant, retail spaces and underground parking, drew the endorsement of the town Historical Review Board. That endorsement translates into an option of raising the roofline, from a maximum of 27 feet to 35 feet, and providing 50 percent fewer parking spaces than the size of the building would normally require under town building codes.

The design calls for 16 underground parking spaces and another three at the street level. The port will also be required to contain and to treat stormwater run-off on site, as opposed to requirements for the former building, in accordance with a new shoreline development permit.

The port anticipates that some portion of the construc-tion costs will be paid for from the insurance settlement, $2.6 million, from last year’s fire.

Ahrenius said that it’s too soon to tell what the price tag will be. He noted the port will also be seeking a permit for replacement of the waterfront bulkhead at the town Aug. 7 meeting.

“It’s a big project on the waterfront,” he said of the Spring Street Landing building. “Something on the water is never simple. It would be premature to put a price on it at this stage.”

time it sank. Bellingham Channel, located just

north of Anacortes, between Guemes and Cypress islands, is home to sea-grass and kelp. Pink and Chinook salmon were present in the area at the time of the spill, as were marbled mur-relets, listed as threatened by the state and federal government.

Ecology’s investigators found uncovered, open or leaky deck hatches on the Clam Digger, which compro-mised its ability to stay watertight. In addition, modifications, including the

installation of a 2,000-gallon double-walled portable diesel tank, caused the boat to ride lower in the water, making it susceptible to flooding, according to DOE.

There was no evidence of any oil reaching the shoreline.

Penalties issued by Ecology can be appealed to the Washington State Pollution Control Hearings Board.

Along with the $112,500 fine, Ecology billed American Gold Seafoods $9,796 to recoup cleanup costs and investigation work. The company paid an additional $13,844 to fund a shoreline restoration proj-ect in Anacortes in lieu of paying the same amount into a general fund

for damage the spill caused to public resources.

The understudy now has the lead role at the top of the town financial department.

The Friday Harbor Town Council July 17 appoint-ed Kelle W i l s o n to fill the unexpired term of f o r m e r t re a s u re r W e n d y P i c i n i c h , w h o s t e p p e d down from the elected town position, as well as town finance officer, in mid-June. The treasurer’s term expires Dec. 31, 2015.

Wilson has held the posi-tion of town clerk and more recently assistant finance officer during a 20-year ten-ure with the town.

Mayor Carrie Lacher tapped Wilson to take over as town finance director on the heels of a region-wide candidate search.

“Kelle is a competent and

dedicated professional, and will serve the community well as treasurer and finance director,” Lacher said in a press release. “I am look-ing forward to working with Kelle and continuing our tradition of outstanding fis-cal management.”

In addition to manage-ment of the town finance department, the finan-cial director develops and implements policies, pro-cedures and practices for the town financial system, serves as internal auditor, invest funds and manages debt.

The director also assists the town administrator in day-to-day operation of the budget process, which includes forecasts and anal-ysis.

“Kelle was one of many qualified individuals con-sidered for these positions,” Administrator Duncan Wilson said. “Kelle was clearly the right choice for the town.”

Wilson had taken on the duties of treasurer and of finance director since Picinich retired, after a 30-plus years with the town.

Fall prep sports physicals, for freeThe high school fall sports season is just around the

corner, believe it, or not, and practice will begin even sooner.

So, it’s time to get that physical exam.For the season ahead, student athletes can get the

required physical for free, thanks to a Peace Island Medical Center “community outreach” program, and the donation of time by PIMC doctors and nurses.

The free physical clinic is Sunday, Aug. 3, 3-7 p.m., in Friday Harbor High School’s Hall Gym.

Students should download, fill out and bring a com-pleted “athletics packet” to the clinic. Packets are available and can be downloaded from the San Juan Island School District website, at www.sjisd.wednet.edu/Page/63

— Information below is submitted as a press release by SJC Democrats

In the race for Washington State’s 2nd Congressional District seat, the San Juan County Democrats have voted to endorse independent Mike Lapointe over incum-bent Democrat Rick Larsen in the Aug. 5 pri-mary election.

In a unique attempt to include as many county Democrats as possible in the endorsement pro-cess, the San Juan County Democrats held sepa-rate endorsement meet-ings on July 26 and 27 on Orcas, Lopez, and San Juan Islands. Both Mike Lapointe and Rep. Larsen were invited. Mike attended each of the three meetings, while Rep. Larsen did not attend nor did any of his surrogates.

In total at these three meetings, the vote was 50-0 to endorse Mike Lapointe.

The main factors in this decision were the incumbent’s failure to adequately address two of the primary concerns of the citizens

of the San Juan Islands, namely the potential negative environmental and economic conse-quences of building the Gateway Pacific Terminal coal export facility near Bellingham that will ship massive amounts of coal through our county's waters, as well as the quality-of-life and health-destroying noise of the Navy’s Growler jets based on Whidbey Island.

Instead of endorsing our corporate-fund-ed incumbent, we are excited to endorse Mike Lapointe, an independent candidate of the people who accepts no corporate contributions. Mike will fight against the coal terminal and the Growler jets, and he will also fight for green jobs to replace fossil fuel-related jobs.

Mike is actually more true to our Democratic Party platform than the incum-bent. Mike Lapointe represents our values.

The San Juan County Democrats urge a vote on your August 5 primary ballot for Mike Lapointe for Congress in the 2nd district.

Monster is greed, hubris, not DOE

The monster in our coun-try is blind ignorance and greed (See “A monster, state DOE, in our midst,” Journal Letters, page 6, July 23)

The monster is some-one with the gift of money feeling like they can abuse Earth however they please, because they ‘own it’. Really the commons of human-ity and all life begins at the shoreline.

A whole ecosystem was harmed by Honeywell’s blind ignorance and hubris.

NANCY BRICKMANFriday Harbor

Flummoxed by furor over felines

I am a feral kitty and wish to defend a feral’s right to exist. (Reply to guest col-umn, “Cute, cuddly, prolific on the prowl,” page 7, July 23)

Perhaps “we” have hurt billions of regular species but that is nothing com-pared to the holocausts “we the people” perpetu-ated recently, i.e., on the Canadian Wild Geese. And I don’t think we also should incur the death penalty just for existing.

May I present a few facts? The feral cat’s life expectan-cy is only 3-5 years; there-fore, to enhance that brief sojourn on earth, we do accept donations from the generous public. And, yes, we do eat birds; I must, I do myself occasionally (but would do less if Monsanto would take its hands off

cat food). But I must say I have also seen humans eating birds (and quite fre-quently). Last Sunday, a friend of mine ate a duck, but because it arrived on a plate, that made it okay. My own benefactress eats chickens and from the racks displayed in the store; the numbers must be huge.

To offset these lapses, I do many favors for the person who adopted me. No mouse has been seen in our house since I arrived. DeCon has also disappeared, along with its additives. There is no fly. Even bugs have disap-peared.

I am almost as good as a vacuum cleaner, actually better. I don’t have to be dumped out. I polish the windows with my tongue so carefully that I hope this will make me a commodore in the Queen’s Navy. In the interim, I also continue my role as a therapeutic com-rade; I’ve advanced from a feral to a friend and now, favored pet.

And there are still birds out there—and they are singing. And that is that from the feral cat. Thank you, Journal, for sharing my opinion.

Debt free, many ‘Thanks’ deserved

Together we did it. The Brickworks mortgage

and renovation have been completely paid off and the facility is now debt-free!

With the help of a $30,000 challenge grant from the

San Juan Island Community Foundation and with anoth-er most generous and unex-pected private donation, we have come to the end of this extraordinary fundraising campaign.

In all, well over $1,000,000 in private funding was raised to complement $575,000 in grants from Washington State, USDA, and the Town of Friday Harbor.

Though the odds initial-ly seemed daunting, what we came to experience was an amazing blend of community-wide passion, persistence and generosity. We believed that if we com-mitted to building it, they would come.

And come they did, with individual donations ranging from $5 to over $100,000 along with over 35,000 hours of volunteer time and the gift of many talents.

Together, these many contributions allowed us to take a funky old property in the heart of town, renovate the building, develop the plaza, and add a commu-nity kitchen, all the while retaining and celebrating the property’s historical heritage.

In short order, Brickworks has become not only a suc-cessful permanent home for the San Juan Islands Farmers Market, but also a home for the Friday Harbor Art Market, and a venue of choice for meetings, pre-sentations, concerts, educa-tional events and both pri-vate and public celebrations.

This extraordinary multi-year public-private partnership has allowed us to achieve not only our original dream, but also to proceed now with further outfitting of the building to make it suitable for an even

wider range of events. We look forward to a self-

sustaining Brickworks also becoming a centerpiece in the broader initiative now underway to transform the entire immediate area into what we have long envis-aged as revitalized public gathering place in the heart of Friday Harbor.

With a deep sense of gratitude to so many who shared the vision, again, thank you!

SJI AG GUILDBoard of Directors

Congrats to Guild; help for housing?

From the San Juan Community Home Trust:

Our hearty congratula-tions to the San Juan Island Ag Guild for reaching its major goal of paying off the mortgage of the Brickworks. Also for having the fore-sight to create a beautiful building for our commu-nity for Farmers’ Markets,

Art Markets and commu-nity festivities. With strong community support come amazing community facili-ties.

We at the San Juan Community Home Trust commend San Juan island-ers for their generous sup-port of the Brickworks and urge our community to now turn our attention to creating more permanently affordable housing for our local workforce and retirees.

This is a silent and hid-den need, brought about by the high prices of real estate and seasonal, and low aver-age wages.

We need to ensure that our workforce and retirees on more limited incomes who contribute so much to the richness of our commu-

nity are able to remain on the island.

We cannot lose the staff at our retirement centers; home helpers; house paint-ers; masons, therapists, nor the many volunteers, musicians, actors and playwrights who enter-tain us, to name but a few. Permanently affordable housing benefits us all.

I urge you to support the Home Trust’s current Capital Campaign to fund Phase II of Sun Rise, our community of permanently affordable, low-to moder-ate-income homes, by help-ing to finance our 12 to 14 new houses with your generous donations.

Editorial

Primary causeIt looks as if the August primary election may

not be such a sleeper after all. In a three-way race for Washington’s 2nd

Congressional seat, incumbent Rick Larsen is under assault from factions within his own polit-ical party, chiefly that of the San Juan County Democrats, who, over the weekend, July 26-27, voted 50-0, that’s right, 50 to zip, to endorse fel-low Democrat Mike Lapointe (See page 5).

The top two vote-getters in the race, regardless of party affiliation, advance to the November general election. In addition to Lapointe, chal-lenging Larsen from the left, Republican BJ Guillot, reportedly cut from conservative Tea Party cloth, is seeking election to the 2nd con-gressional seat as well.

The 2nd District encompasses the entirety of Island and San Juan counties, and portions of Skagit, Snohomish and Whatcom counties, mainly in areas west of Interstate 5.

Primary ballots must be postmarked by Aug. 5, date of the primary, or dropped off at any of the county Election drop-off boxes by 8 p.m., on election day. Do you know where your ballot is?

In the 2012, Larsen faced five challengers in the August primary, including Lapointe, at that time a 99 Percent Party candidate. Larsen drew nearly 64 percent of 5,683 votes cast in San Juan County that year. Lapointe received 4.3 percent, 244 votes in all.

So, why the rift? Well, evidently Larsen, who has long enjoyed

strong support in the heavily democratic, left-leaning San Juans, has local Dems disgruntled over his middle-of-the-road stance on the pro-posed coal export facility at Cherry Point, as well as the escalation of noise from Navy jets—the Growlers—stationed at NAS Whidbey.

Will local Dems’ “dissing” of Larsen and embrace of Lapointe prove an aberration, or tip of the iceberg? Results will tell.

Do you know where your ballot is?

By Alex MacLeodSpecial to the Journal

When I wrote last month saying it was my belief OPALCO Board members and senior managers had not been honest when they publicly denied

any involvement in threatening letters sent to a former board member and sitting County Councilman, I knew more than I revealed.

I knew, for instance, that OPALCO’s legal bills—the ones OPALCO General Manager Randy Cornelius had denied my request to see with, he wrote, “the full support of the Board”—clearly show the involvement of OPALCO management and then-Board President Chris Thomerson’s involvement in the letter threatening legal action against former board member John Bogert if he didn’t shut up about his rea-sons for resigning from the board.

How did I know this?Jerry Whitfield, who was selected by

the board in March to replace Bogert, reviewed the bills relating to Bogert’s letter at my request and told me what they said.

Jerry had sent me a note offering to talk once I had received a response to my records request from Cornelius. When I received the denial and saw it was with “the full support of the Board,” I called Jerry and asked him to explain why he supported the denial.

Jerry told me it was because he was told the billing records—which he hadn’t seen— were “very summary in nature” and “wouldn’t answer your question” about whether there had been board and/or management involvement in their drafting and decision to send. If that was really the case, I wondered aloud, why not just show me the records and be done with it?

I told Jerry that my experience with legal bills was that they were pretty detailed—how else could the client assess

their validity?—but that if he looked at them and told me they wouldn’t answer my question, I would take his word for it and drop the subject.

Good to his word, he looked at the Bogert records several days later and gave me a call.

He began by saying the records showed “more than I had been led to believe,” and then reviewed the notes he had taken. The records were exactly as I had expected and showed that the lawyers had conferenced with manage-ment, reviewed a draft with the client and then revised it and then noted “a message from Thomerson regarding let-ter” the day the letter was sent.

The notion that the lawyers had acted on their own, as Thomerson, other board members and Cornelius had insisted at the May 28 Shaw Town Hall meeting, was not true.

Why didn’t I reveal these things earlier? It’s because I think Jerry Whitfield is a good guy. He is

a successful businessman, an engineer, a good family man and a good neighbor. He agreed to serve on OPALCO’s board because he wants OPALCO to continue to be suc-cessful, especially as it navigates the tricky waters of enter-ing a business— broadband service —very different than its core mission as an electric cooperative, and I respect him

As I See It

PUBLIC MEETINGS

By Julie DukeSpecial to the Journal

We were recently asked by a concerned private citizen to reach out to the com-

munity to explain what to expect from Wolf Hollow when someone calls us to report a stranded Harbor Seal pup.

We are more than happy to do so and we hope this message will help everyone understand the complexities of the situation.

Harbor Seals, being marine mam-mals, come under the authority of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and are covered by the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which makes it a federal offense to touch, harass, injure or feed any marine mammal, including Harbor Seal pups.

Wolf Hollow staff and volunteers have no more authority to rescue a seal pup than has any member of the public. We are not permitted to go out and check on the pup, or bring it to the center for care.

In San Juan County the only people who can respond to a stranded seal pup are county, state or federal govern-ment officials, such as rangers within their parks, and the San Juan County

Marine Mammal Stranding Network. The Stranding Network is a group of

local volunteers, coordinated through the Whale Museum, which is autho-rized by NMFS to investigate reports of live and dead stranded marine mammals, including seal pups, within the county. They work under strict guidelines set by NMFS.

Once a seal pup has been brought to Wolf Hollow we can rehabilitate it and, when it is strong and old enough to survive on its own, release it back into the wild. We currently have four such seal pups in our care.

If you see a seal pup on its own on the shore and it appears to be injured or weak, please don’t touch it, move it or try to get it into the water. Keep people and dogs away from the pup and call The Marine Mammal Hotline: 1-800-562-8832 and leave a message. This hotline is monitored by the Stranding Network Coordinators who will return your call.

If you call Wolf Hollow directly, all we can do is record the details of the pup’s location and condition and your name and phone number. We then pass this information on to the

Stranding Network coordinators, who will take it from there.

I hope this helps to explain why we at Wolf Hollow can’t respond to calls about seal pups in the same way we do to other wildlife calls. If you see an injured hawk, or come across a thin, weak raccoon kit, you can call Wolf Hollow and our U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Washington Department

Guest Column

See RIGHT, Page 8

of Fish and Wildlife rehab licenses will allow our staff members or trained volun-teers to come out to assess the animal and the situation, decide if it needs care, and transport it to Wolf Hollow. Unfortunately

this is not the case with seal pups, and though we understand the urgency of your call, there is absolutely nothing we can do until the seal pups are brought to us by the proper authorities.

for that. He wasn’t on the board when the threaten-ing legal letters were sent and didn’t want to get dragged into that contro-versy, so I didn’t mention his help before. I’m doing so now because the board, of which he is a member, is continuing to stonewall the membership about its deceptions.

So, what are we to think? That the board thinks it is perfectly OK to not be honest with members when asked a direct question? That it is perfectly OK to not be honest with a board member when he asks a question?

We don’t know, because the board and manage-ment have remained silent. Perhaps there has been something said in an execu-tive session or other pri-vate meeting of the board —meetings that it should be noted are nowhere pro-vided for in OPALCO’s By-Laws—but nothing has been said publicly, nor is it on this week’s board agenda.

Why does this matter? Well, for starters

OPALCO is a cooperative. The actions of its board are a direct reflection on its members. For most of OPALCO’s history, the board and management have acted with integrity, creating a cooperative in which its members could take justifiable pride. It is a relationship that deserves continued respect.

And as OPALCO contin-ues to try to find financially responsible ways to help its members obtain more robust Internet service and

perhaps also help improve the county’s emergency-response communication system, it is imperative that members trust its board and management to be open and honest about the choices, the costs, the risks and the expected benefits.

That has been, and remains, a challenge for this board. It does not help to be found to be knowingly misleading its members—as well as a sitting board mem-ber—about what in the end are relatively inconsequen-tial matters. If they will lie about the little things, what about the big ones?

Not only is that worth pondering, it is worth hear-ing the board and manage-ment address directly.

— Editor’s note: Shaw Island's Alex MacLeod, former managing editor of the Seattle Times, and former San Juan Ferry Advisory Committee chairman, has been an OPALCO member for 25 years.

What’s Happening!

See CALENDAR, Page 16

Pacific Northwest folksinger, storyteller and autoharp virtu-oso Adam Miller has amassed

a collection of 5,0000 traditional folk tunes during a 20-year career in sharing history through story and song.

Just how many he will be able

to unveil in a single and singular performance, Sunday, Aug. 3, at San Juan Island Library, remains to be seen. But get there early, there’s sure to be a crowd. Entitled “Singing Through History,” the show starts at 6 p.m.; doors open at 5:45 p.m.

A 21-century troubadour, traveling 70,000 miles or more each year, Miller traces the history of America through an entertaining as well as interactive performance of stories and song that feature inspiring autoharp melodies and a rich, distinctive baritone that’s all his own.

By Scott RasmussenJournal editor

If you’re at all familiar with their music, then “taking the world by storm” is probably the last phrase you might apply to the Good Lovelies.

These are not Dixie Chicks. See the contrast for yourself when the Good Lovelies, headed back to

Friday Harbor after a premier island performance in 2012, take center stage at San Juan Community Theatre Saturday, Aug. 2. The show starts at 7:30 p.m.

Still, similarities can’t be denied. Both trios are adept at a variety of instruments, interchange leads often, and feature inspiring, intricately woven three-part harmonies. But unlike Natalie Maines and company, the Good Lovelies are more likely to showcase their award-winning talents on an episode of “Prairie Home Companion,” or on tour with Stuart McLean’s Vinyl Cafe, rather than at a weekend rock festival or as musical guest on Saturday Night Live. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

And, the Good Lovelies hail from Canada, as well, rather than Texas. Perhaps that’s another reason that this unassum-ing, buoyant trio of longtime best friends, Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough and Sue Passmore, have gravitated toward the sunny side of western

swing and folk music, and have along the way become the darlings of the summer festival circuit.

What the two groups share, however, is musical chops, as well as a long list of music industry accolades and awards to back it up.

The Good Lovelies burst onto the musical scene with a self-titled album in 2009, which garnered the group headlines as “New Emerging Artist” at the Canadian Folk Music Awards and later a Juno (Canada’s equivalent to the Grammy’s) for Album of the Year in the Roots/Traditional category.

Their latest release, Live at Revolution, earned two 2013 Canadian Folk Music Awards, for Best Vocal Group and for Best Ensemble, and highlights both the energy and variety of their live performances. The album includes a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “State Trooper,” Leonard Cohen’s mega-hit “Hallelujah” and starts off with the 1930s classic, “The Heebie Jeebies.”

Other than that, it’s all their own.

T h e Business Partner for the Good Lovelies is Peter C. Schmidt Construction. Tickets are $28 for adults, $14 for students, $5 student RUSH at the door. The SJCT box office is open Tue-Fri, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sat., 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. For info or to purchase tickets online, visit www.sjctheatre.org or 378-3210.

Around TownClimate change: weather forecast

How will climate change affect weather in the San Juans and across the region today, and in the years beyond?

It’s up for debate. But first you can find out basic sci-ence behind climate change and its implications on weather patterns in a pre-sentation by University of Washington meteorolo-gist Dr. Nicholas Bond, Thursday, July 31, at San Juan Island Grange.

The fifth in a series of free climate change pro-grams, entitled “The Climate Action Imperative: Understanding the Impacts & Making Choices,” the pre-sentation by Bond, a clima-

tologist with WSU as well, begins at 7 p.m.

Steeped in Pacific Northwest weather and cli-mate research, Bond, who earned a Ph.D. in atmo-spheric science at U of W, collects and interprets cli-mate data as a WSU cli-matologist, spending a large

portion of time traveling the state, giving talks to the general public about the past, present and future of regional weather and cli-mate.

“How will global climate change play out in our neck of the woods?” Bond asks. “I welcome a dialogue on these fascinating and important questions.”

Bond’s presentation, sponsored by a consortium of local organizations and civic groups, will be fol-lowed by a discussion and Q & A period.

Next speaker in the climate change series is Rebecca Lofgren, scien-tist and glacier monitoring technician at Mount Rainier National Park, on Aug. 7. For more info, visit, www.madrona.org

Roots of iconic fabrics revealed

Local and Washington state weavers will gather at English Camp, Aug. 2-3, to demonstrate how European and American Indian tech-niques melded to create woven objects and cloth-ing unique to the Pacific Northwest.

The free program fea-tures Cowlitz Nation

weaver Judy Bridges and renowned storyteller Karen Haas, Roger Ellison and Anita Barreca of San Juan Island, and other local spin-ners and weavers, showing how it was all done with all-natural fibers, including wild reeds.

While white settlers used natural resources in some aspects of their lives, American Indian relied almost entirely on what was at hand, especially the cedar tree, known to them as the “tree of life.”

Ellison and Barreca will not only demonstrate “daub and wattle” crafts, but invite visitors to try their hands at it as well. For information or trans-port for the accessibil-ity impaired, contact NPS, 378-2240, ext. 2233.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) 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 de- livery 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.

All hands on deck. The 44th annual Shaw Island Classic sets sail Saturday, Aug. 9.

Sponsored by San Juan Island Yacht Club, the venerable, exceedingly popular and one-of-a-kind competitive sailing contest (skippers can choose to sail around Shaw Island, or, circumnavigate it, as it’s called in seafarer parlance, in either direction, clockwise or counter-clockwise) has long drawn racers from Bellingham to Seattle, in addition to the San Juans’ top sailors.

In keeping with custom, San Juan Island Yacht Club will host a scrumptious lasagna dinner at the conclusion of the competition, followed by the presentation of race awards.

Enter the classic by registering online at, www.sjiyc.com; dinner reservations and commemorative Shaw Island Classic shirts can be ordered online as well.

As for the race itself, it’s scored in multiple division for all types of sailing craft, using the customary PHRF rating to equalize sailing capacities of all boats entered. Therefore, results are a test of navigational skill and overall sailing abil-

ity (a gift for reading tide tables and the current, and luck, of course, factor in as well).

Previous races have been marked by exhilarating sprints around Shaw Island, if the wind is ‘a-blowin’, to an exercise in reading the currents in order to ‘go with the flow’.

Skippers of all sailing vessels are invited to compete, regardless of whether they have a PHRF rating or not. Race instructions are available online, at the registration site.
