Bon voyage Class of 2015

By Scott RasmussenJournal editor

Gary Weiss has witnessed first-hand how having friends in high places can help further an impor-tant cause.

And, that’s a big reason why the photographs of a certain two Southern resident killer whales are likely tacked up on a wall some-where in the White House by now, or perhaps on the refrigerator.

The daughters of the First Family of the United States, Malia and

Sasha Obama, recently became united with two members of J-pod through the Friday Harbor Whale Museum’s Orca Adoption Program. Dr. Weiss presented a pair of adoption certificates and accompanying memorabilia to the

president as gifts for his daughters girls at a May 27 roundtable dis-cussion in Washington D.C.

The gifts are intended to help raise the profile of the plight of the Southern residents and under-

wasn’t enough to alter the course. And, it’s only gotten hotter ever since.

San Juan County fire officials on raised the fire-risk status Monday, June 1, from low to moderate.

Fire officials at that time cited the current fuel conditions and a long-range weather forecast call-ing for warmer temperatures and drier weather for elevating the fire-risk mark.

That was prior the recent stretch of un-seasonally hot weather, which reached 80 degrees on the westside of San Juan Island and nearly 80 degrees on Orcas and on Lopez islands (See Weather Almanac, pg. 2).

As a result, outdoor burning will be restricted to mornings only, 6 a.m. to noon, and fires must be completely extinguished by noon, according to San Juan Island Fire Department.

Other than recreational fires, permits are required for burn-ing outdoors in San Juan County, either for residential or commer-cial purposes. The cutoff date for burning outdoors has historically been June 30, and the season typi-cally reopens in late September,

A Friday Harbor man died in a motorcycle crash, Sunday, May 31, at about noon, on Mount Baker Highway.

Sixty-one-year-old Michael A. Wayner, traveling with a group of fellow Friday Harbor motorcy-clists at the time, was headed up the mountain when he plunged over a cliff near a series of switch-backs leading to Mount Baker Ski Resort, near mile post 49.

He suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the

William “Bill” Keel, age 89, died peacefully in Blaine, Washington on Friday, May 29, 2015.

William was born on May 28, 1926, on Orcas Island to John and Norma Keel. He was raised on the fam-ily homestead and attended Orcas Island School.

In 1943, at the age of 17, Bill joined the United States Marine Corps. He served in WWII and the Korean War.

His Marine pride was revived when his grandson, Tim, joined the Marines in 2001 “because he always wanted to be just like his grandpa.”

Bill was a brave and loyal marine, proud veteran, as well as a patient and loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, friend and neighbor.

William met his late wife Vera in the summer of 1950 and they married Nov. 8, 1952. William was deployed to war soon after dating Vera and wasn’t sure he would ever see his precious again. He was lucky to make it home from war.

Soon after marriage, he had four children. Bill worked in Alaska building the Alaskan Highway and the Alaskan

pipeline. He worked for the Operating Engineers Union, driving D-8 and building many local roads such as I-5.

But his greatest employ-ment was when he served as a volunteer Lieutenant Fireman for the Marietta Fire Department from 1958 to 1989 and was a proud member of the NRA.

Bill is survived by his caretakers and grandchil-dren, Timothy and Amanda Stidham, and their chil-dren, Caiden and Riley; his daughter Karey (Scott) Stidham; sons Robert Keel and Bradley (Leanne) Keel; grandchildren Nicolle (Shawn), Krissy, Breanna (Greg), Bobbi (Tim), Jamie (Eugene), Jerry and Joshua; great grandchildren Carissa, Haylie, Natalie, Lydia, Ciarra, Tommy, and Gemma; his

cousin Bev Keel; and special friends Jim and Lavernne Stephens, Robert Hall, Brent Ebergeson; and many more special friends and relatives.

Bill is preceded in death by his wife Vera; son Gary, who died in infancy; his grandson in-law Bill Corder; parents; and older siblings John and Dorothy.

William will be truly missed by all.

The family would like to thank the staff at Stafholt, North Cascade Cardiology, St. Josephs Emergency Department, Home Attendant Care and Whatcom Hospice. A time of visitation will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., on Friday, June 5, 2015, followed by a 2 p.m. memorial service, both at Gillies Funeral Home.

Burial will be at Olga Bay Cemetery on Orcas Island at 1 p.m., on Monday, June 8, 2015. All family and friends are welcome to attend. You are invited to share your con-dolences and memories in the online guestbook at www.gilliesfuneralhome.com. Arrangements are entrusted to Gillies Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Lynden.

Proudly serving Whatcom, Skagit, Island & San Juan Counties

— Submitted as a news release from state Sen. Kevin Ranker“Over the past several weeks, I’ve heard from many of you regarding

your ideas, questions and concerns regarding the Washington State Ferries Reservation system.

“I want you to know that I too have questions and share some of your concerns. While some of you have shared stories with me regarding sig-nificant benefits of the reservation system, others have expressed serious concerns stating that the reservation system has made it difficult for locals and businesses that rely on our ferries.

“One thing is for sure, the implementation of the reservation system is a work in progress and while I do not anticipate, nor do I support, the repeal of the system, there are likely to be changes made as we learn what works and what doesn’t.

“In addition to receiving comments from dozens of individuals at my office in Olympia and on the island, I have held meetings with members of

our lodging industry, construction industry, local ferry workers, chamber of commerce, visitor’s bureau and others. I have also met directly with state Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson.

“These meetings have been productive and critical toward understanding all aspects of this issue. I have provided a letter to Secretary Peterson that lays out my preliminary recom-mendations to address some of the issues with the reservation system.

“Your continued input is a crucial part of this process. Please contact me at my office at (360) 786-7678 or by email at [email protected] so that I may hear what you think and what ideas you may have so that we can keep people and commerce moving.”

Ranker seeks input on reservation system

On October 7, 2014, San Juan County became the first County in the U.S. designated as a voluntary “Leave No Trace” Area as the County Council adopt-ed the Guiding Principles and Ethic to support Stewardship in the San Juan Islands.

Leave No Trace, Inc. selected Washington’s San Juan Islands as one of its eight endangered ‘Hot Spots’ in the nation in 2014.

Last fall, the Subaru/Leave No Trace Traveling Trainers held workshops on San Juan, Orcas, and Lopez Islands training over 75 islanders and reaching out to many others at a week of events across the islands.

The trainers are return-ing this month for two days of events designed for youth and adults interested in learning about Leave No Trace Guiding Principles and Ethics.

“Many outdoor areas across our nation, like the San Juan Islands, are nega-tively impacted by recre-ational use. We are literally loving the land to death,” according to Danielle Rowland, Subaru/Leave No Trace Traveling Trainer. “In most cases, the land impact isn’t due to a malicious

intent to harm nature and wildlife. Instead, it’s simply lack of an understanding or know-how of ‘Leave No Trace’.”

The workshops will feature the Subaru/LNT Traveling Trainers team, with ideas for incorporating Leave No Trace principles into daily living and recre-ating, business advertising, touring, guiding, camping, teaching, staff development and for volunteers on public lands.

Individuals, volunteers, students and business own-ers and their staffs with a connection or interest in

the islands' waters and pub-lic lands are encouraged to attend these free work-shops. Learn about Leave No Trace principles to help protect and preserve the San Juan Islands for years to come. All sessions have limited space. Here’s a list of events:

Washington State Patrol.A motorcyclist since age

18, Wayner was known by family and friends to be a cautious and defensive driver. He reportedly was attempting to pass a vehicle when his motorcycle veered off the roadway and over the cliff.

He was wearing a helmet at the time and the cause of the fatal collision remains under investigation, accord-ing to the state patrol.

A Vietnam War veteran and licensed commercial driver, Wayner and wife Donna relocated from California to San Juan Island in the early 1990s.

He worked for San Juan Sanitation as a driver for the past five-plus years and drove trucks for more than a decade for the construc-tion company of the late Richard Lawson prior to joining SJS.

Wayner is father of four children and four grand-children.

A memorial account will be set up in Wayner’s name at the “gofundme” web-site to help the family with funeral expenses.

score how breaching four dams on the Lower Snake River is the swiftest course of action to provide the endangered population with a greater abundance of food, Chinook salmon, in particular, Weiss said.

“I wouldn’t say it had really been on his radar before,” he said of the president’s familiarity with issues related to salmon and the Snake River dams. “But he did seem very interested and there is a sense that it’s something he might be able to do through an executive order.”

Customized and enhanced by local orca whale advocate Monika Wieland, the “adoption papers” are tailored-made for both girls. The two adoptees, both females, share the same birth year with each girl, respectively. Seventeen-year-old Malia’s adoptive killer whale is J-35, born in 1998, and 14-year-old Sasha’s is J-37, born in 2001.

A neurologist by profession, father of a marine mam-mal researcher, Michael, himself a former Whale Museum intern, and a cousin of U.S. Senator Russ Feingold, D-Wisc., Weiss also made a pitch to the president as to why those four dams should be breached. He was one of 25 participants at the roundtable and, in addition to providing the president with a 13-page packet summing up the reasons why the dams should be dismantled, the Florida neurologist was first to raise his hand and be called upon to state his case.

“(Obama) said that he couldn’t really guarantee any result but that he would give the issue a serious look and see what he might be able to do,” Weiss said.

Listed endangered under the federal law in 2005, the

Southern residents consisted at that time of 88 animals. Made up of three closely related clans, J, K and L pods, the population totals 80 whales today. It hit a 30-year low late last year after a two-plus year drought of newborns, fol-lowed more recently by three births over the winter months.

Under a federally mandated recovery plan, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, tasked with implementing the Endangered Species Act, lists lack of prey (salmon), pollution and disturbance by vessels as the three greatest threats to the Southern residents survival. The population earned a recent distinction, a dubious at that, by becoming one of seven other ESA-listed marine species considered by NOAA to be the most “imperiled of the imperiled.”

The idea of presenting the president with orca adoptions took flight at marine mammal conference last year in Baja Mexico, where Weiss met up with supporters of the locally based Southern Resident Killer Whales Chinook Salmon Initiative. The group has collected thousands of signatures in a few short months on a petition calling for the disman-tling of the four Lower Snake River dams, a course of action meant to boost the imperiled orcas primary food source, Chinook salmon.

“Gary was thinking that it would be great to have some kind of connection between the president and the orcas,” Wieland recalls. “I hope something comes out of it in the end.”

The personal touch has worked before, Weiss said. It was in Baja, some years back, where the National

Resources Defense Council, an environmental advocacy

group to which Weiss contributes financially, were able to spare one of the last remaining grey whale breeding grounds from development by urging the president of Mexico, and his wife, to take a tour of the embattled area. The president put a kibosh on the pending project immedi-ately after that visit.

The Snake River Dams reportedly are in need of costly upgrades and repair, and will soon require renewal of a federally issued license to continue to operate. Salmon Initiative supporters contend those improvement costs, borne by taxpayers, exceed whatever economic benefit the federally managed dams provide and take a large toll on the river’s various stocks of threatened and endangered salmon.

The prolonged existence of the dams threatened not only the survival of the Southern residents, but the economic health of the San Juans, Weiss said. While the Salish Sea may be their seasonal hunting grounds, he adds that their recovery is a matter of importance nationwide.

“The Southern residents are kind of America’s whales, not just the Pacific Northwest’s,” he said. “Losing them would be a true American tragedy.”

San Juan Island Fire & Rescue Chief Steve Marler said.

Precipitation has been scarce in the San Juans over the past two months. In April and May, the amount of measurable rainfall at the south end of Lopez Island hit its lowest combined two-month total in more than

three decades, according to Jack Giard, who has tracked temperatures and rainfall at his Bakerview Road home for 36 consecutive years.

Giard said that the .35 inches of precipitation mea-sured in May is the lowest total ever for that month since he began keeping

records. While April did not prove to be a record-setter in itself, the two-month combined total eclipsed any other April-May total as the driest, Giard said.

Still, yearly rainfall totals remain on par with histori-cal averages for the first six months of the year, Giard

said, largely because of the large amount of rainfall ear-lier in the year.

open space preservation and public access. Created in 1991, the San Juan County Land Bank was modeled after a similar land conservation agency in Nantucket, the first land bank conservation program of its kind in the U.S.

An Orcas Island property owner since 2004, Wiese and his wife relocated to Orcas a year ago, on the heels of retire-ment from his profession.

Wedow began a career in conservation at Evergreen State College, where she studied botany, environmental sciences and received a dual Bachelor of Art and Science. She moved to Lopez Island in 2010 and is director of the Lopez Island Conservation Corps.

As the panel’s newest appointees, Wedow and Wiese will join commissioners Amanda Azous, Christa Campbell Doug Strandberg, Matthew Wallrath and current Chairman Jim Skoog on the seven-person panel of volunteers, tasked with oversight of Land Bank operations.

OPINION

6 — Wednesday, June 10, 2015 The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com

Duty of district? Abide by contract

Self-admitted “not the brightest light bulb in the box” Mike Buettell’s let-ter on May 20th casts the upcoming hospital district commission election ideo-logically, (“Six questions for seven candidates,” pg. 6).

Hopefully voters will remain aware that PeaceHealth and the com-mission signed an agree-ment and that newly elected commissioners’ duties include zealously guarding and abiding by this agreement. This agree-ment accommodates these long-established and well known Catholic principles concerning abortion, birth control and sanctity of life.

It is worth observing that Mr. Buettell and similar dim lights never-endingly tire of trying to impose their views on others. PeaceHealth and the Catholic Church “imposed” nothing beyond their long established prin-ciples… and did so in an agreement that voters have already found to be accept-able.

In response to Mr. Buettell’s questions: I am sat-isfied that Catholic Bishops have no role in health care decisions beyond the agree-ment and in particular mat-ters concerning end-of-life care, women’s-health and maternity.

As to the other questions, oversight on behalf of tax-payers interests, full tax-disbursement disclosure and the quality of health care are the responsibility of the commissioners; and is

best ensured by not electing any that want to change the agreement.

ALBERT B. HALL Friday Harbor

Questions asked…here’s my stance

I appreciate Janice Peterson’s perspective on the upcoming election and the three “critical ques-tions” that she has posed to the candidates regarding rumored litigation of the current hospital contract (“More questions for candi-dates,” May 27, pg. 6).

In response, I do not sup-port taking any action to break the current contract between PeaceHealth and the Public Hospital District. This contract has already been amended twice, and I would support negotiating further amendments if such changes would improve islanders’ access to medical care.

Because Ms. Peterson also asked what outcomes the candidates are aiming for, here are my respons-es. The immediate critical outcomes are passage of an EMS levy and resolution of the EMS system’s finances. Secondly, I would like to see more detailed explanations of Peace Island Medical Center’s allocation of pub-lic funds for charitable care and provide these details to the community.

Finally, within the limita-tions of the Public Hospital District board’s power, I will work to assure access to the best possible range of medi-cal services in compliance with the law.

Thank you for bringing these concerns to the can-didates’ attention. I would welcome the opportunity

to expand upon these and other concerns during the upcoming campaign.

No place for hate; shame on Journal

I can’t believe San Juan Journal would allow such hate-mongering to be print-ed, “Assassins fueled by con-tradiction,” May 14, pg. 6,; online, “Fundamental con-tradiction leads to attack on freedoms,”.

Also, Mr. Billington’s knowledge of Islam is lim-ited, to say the least. He didn’t even refer to the Koran’s chapter and section correctly. I wonder if he has ever met a Muslim before.

Congrats to all for ‘Service’ support

With graduation ceremo-nies behind us, we close the books on a big year for the San Juan Island Service Scholarship Program.

The program is designed to inspire young men and women to become active volunteers and give back to our community. This year we awarded 23 (yes, that number is correct) $1,000 scholarships to graduating San Juan Island seniors.

We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the hard work and dedica-tion of these 23 individu-als and recognize them one more time for their service to our community:

Peter Strasser, Dalton Ayers, Matthew Stepita, Kaitlyn Domenech, Samantha Pluff, Max Haenel, Ian Williams, Hailey Loucks, Jade Cooper-Yockers, Samuel Stewart, Ashton Timmons, Sammantha Hopkins, Sophia Dillery, Elizabeth Andersen, Isabel Gabriel, Faith Buck, Peter Holt, Audrey Sable, Madden Shanks, Melanie Cope, Courtney Bell, Sophia Marinkovich and Bella Bledsoe.

In addition to congratu-lating the scholarship recip-ients, we would be remiss if we did not take this oppor-tunity to share our apprecia-tion and sincere thanks to all the people and organiza-tions who make our pro-gram successful.

Our scholarships are funded by generous dona-tions from individuals that recognize the value

of instilling a volunteering spirit in our youth, the local restaurants which partner in our Dining for Scholars program, the Thursday night BBQ at the San Juan County Fair—and finally by all of you when you show your support by dining out at one of our Dining for Scholars events.

This year, all of these local restaurants opened their doors and hearts to our program. The portion of their profits they shared from Dining for Scholars was essential to our fun-draising efforts—so thank you to: China Pearl, Blue Water Bar & Grill, Lime Kiln Café, McMillin’s at Roche Harbor, Cask & Schooner, MiCasita, The Place, Coho Restaurant, Rumor Mill, Market Chef, Vic’s Drive-In, Haley’s, Hungry Clam, Market Chef, Rocky Bay Café, Café Demeter and the Spring Street Deli.

Voters? It’s truth they’re thirsty for

I don’t often respond to letters in the Journal, but when I do, it’s because the issue is significant, (See “Duty of district? Abide by contract,” Letters, top left).

The upcoming hospital commission election is so important and contentious that the whales will prob-ably come to the San Juans this summer just to watch us.

The voters of San Juan

See LETTERS, Page 7

County are not stupid. They see through name-calling and misquotes. The voters thirst for the truth. They thirst for answers from the candidates on how religion plays a part in our only hos-pital. They thirst to know if maternity care will ever be provided here. They thirst to know whether estab-lished laws will be followed, and how money is spent. We need to focus on these issues and not call people “dim lights.”

And if you’re going to quote me, at least do so accurately. STAY THIRSTY, my friends

MIKE BUETTELLSan Juan Island

District’s duty is adhere to the law

I take strong exception to Albert Hall’s contention in his letter to the editor in the Journal on June 3 (online) that the existing subsidy agreement between

SJC Public Hospital District No. 1 and PeaceHealth is sacrosanct and that the duties of the commissioners “include zealously guarding and abiding by this agree-ment”. (See “Duty of district? Abide by contract,” Letters, pg. 6, top left)

I will be voting for hos-pital commissioners who believe their primary responsibility is to meet community health needs, not to blindly defend the subsidy agreement.

If there is something in the agreement which pre-vents the commission from achieving this responsibility and as a result the commis-sion is in violation of state law, I expect it to work with PeaceHealth to modify the contract. By “law”, I refer to the laws of Washington State, not the dictates of the Catholic Bishops. I also dis-agree with Mr. Hall’s belief that the “Catholic Bishops have no role in health care decisions beyond the agree-ment and in particular mat-ters concerning end-of-life care, women’s-health and maternity.”

Nowhere does the agree-

ment refer to the limita-tions the Catholic Bishops are well known to have imposed on procedures performed at Peace Island Hospital. Women of child-bearing age needing family planning and pre-natal care, all previously performed at the defunct Inter Island Medical Center, as well as families facing difficult end-oflife decisions, are simply ignored by Peace Island Hospital even though it is subsidized by our tax dol-lars.

Two corrections to Mr. Hall’s letter: Residents of San Juan Island never voted on the agreement as he states. Also, Mr. Buettell, myself, and others are not “trying to impose their views on others” as do the Catholic Bishops.

We only want the hospital district to comply with state law and not the dictates of a religious body. We expect Peace Island Hospital, sub-sidized with our tax dol-lars, to meet “community health needs”, including “the delivery of quality patient care” as stipulated in the Public Hospital District

Commissioner Guide pub-lished by the Association of Washington Public Hospital Districts.

The dictates of the Catholic Bishops do not currently permit it to do so.

Political arena marred by excess

A letter to the editor by David Turnoy in the Sounder’s May 20 edition, “Let’s get money out of poli-tics,” speaks to the corrup-tion that money has in the electoral process.

We of course all decry what our supposedly ratio-nal Supreme Court in the Citizen United did to those of us that are against the peddling of influence.

I have consulted with politicians who have voiced support for legislation that would help the small busi-ness owner, only to find out that large corporate contri-butions or threats to their careers suddenly reverse their motivations to make

Bon voyage Class of 2015 The sun shined bright and inside Turnbull

Gym the temperatures sweltered. But the enthusiasm of the standing-room-

only audience rose even higher this past Saturday, as family, friends and well-wishers heaped congratula-tions on the graduates and bid bon voyage to the Class of 2015 .

More than $450,000 in scholarships were awarded at Friday Harbor High School’s 103rd graduation. The financial award went not only to 41 students of the 64 graduates, but to many others who had walked across the stage before them, in the form of renewable local scholarships.

As in the past, Friday Harbor will be represented at colleges, trade schools and universities across the nation and abroad.

Our investment: Equip our community’s young people with the knowledge and skills they need so they can pursue meaningful, rewarding lives. Perhaps that might make them more resilient to the economic ups and downs of recent years.

When we invest in education, we aren’t investing in just books and buildings. Saturday, we sent forth from the island the next wave of artists, business leaders, coaches, doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, financial advisers, journalists, lawyers, nurses, pilots, police officers, political leaders, teachers, tradesmen, veterinarians. We sent forth young people who want to help foster good environmental stewardship and bridge gaps between cultures here and abroad.

They gained knowledge, yes, but also confidence, poise and sense of fairness from 13 years of testing their limits in the programs our school system offers — arts, clubs, community service, sports, stage.

Herbert Hoover said, “If we could have but one generation of properly born, trained, educated and healthy children, a thousand other problems of government would vanish.” Education is one of the most important investments we make; the level of return depends, indeed, on what we put into it.

PUBLIC MEETINGS

By Alex MacLeodSpecial to the Journal

Despite its claims to the contrary, OPALCO doesn’t have a revenue problem. It has a debt and spending problem.

The problem has gotten so bad that it has violated a financial requirement of its lender. Unless it significantly cuts spending, and does it right now, it will have no choice but to raise our electric rates beginning July 1, and as often as monthly well into the future.

What makes this an especially bitter pill for many mem-bers to swallow is this financial problem has much less to do with OPALCO’s historic, core mission, which is to supply its members with electricity than it does its debt and spending. It is, again despite the OPALCO board’s and management’s stubborn insistence to the contrary, almost entirely the result of its effort to become an internet and telecom business.

The evidence defies the straight-faced denials of manage-ment and the board.

By 2009, OPALCO had modernized its electric-grid infrastructure to (among many other things) read our meters automatically and give us the ability to check our electricity use hourly. Its long-term debt stood at $11.2 million, more than $2.5 million less than it had been when it started the project. Its annual operating expenses stood at $13.3 million.

It wasn’t long after that, that the board decided to explore a way to provide coun-ty residents and businesses with high-speed broadband service. Its initial plan, which included a monthly fee to be charged to all electric customers, was roundly rejected by the membership.

Rather than backing off or looking for other ways to solve broadband desires, the board very quietly decided on another course: call the investments necessary improve-ments to the electric-grid backbone, ones that would almost immediately produce operating savings, even though man-agement at the time told the board no more than 5 percent of the investment would actually benefit the electric opera-tions.

The board then went on to buy Vulcan’s wireless spec-trum in the county and later buy Rock Island and lend it $7.5 million over the next three years, much of which is to fund $1,500 loans to incentivize connections.

When it finally went public with its internet business plan last October, it said it would break even by 2017 and then return a 30 percent profit by 2020. (So far its forecast for connections is way behind its plan.)

It also said the total cost to the each electric customer would be $72 spread over the following two years. Really?

By the end of last year, management had told the board that it needed to increase the base “facilities charge” to each customer by 36 percent and raise rates overall by 12 per-cent. This was after having raised rates by 6 percent each of

Revenue problem? Not by the books It’s debt, spending and broadband venture propelling Co-op rate hikes

the two previous years, planning to raise rates another 6 percent a year through 2019 and nearly doubling the higher “facilities charge” by 2019. And this was before today’s “rev-enue shortfall crisis.” So, what has happened since 2009?

OPALCO’s debt has more than doubled, to $25 million, including an increase of $7.5 million last year. Its operat-ing expenses have increased by nearly 30 percent (despite the pledge that the “electric-grid” investments would pro-duce operating savings). Annual interest on the debt has increased 85 perecent to $1 million. (And OPALCO has yet to begin serious borrowing—$15-17 million—to replace the underwater cable between Lopez and San Juan islands).

General Manager Foster Hildreth told the board last week that it was a “revenue shortfall” caused by a warmer-than-normal winter and less than forecasted energy use that led to this crisis and the need for the board to add a surcharge on our bills in July.

But the fact is that the electric revenues for this past win-ter were actually about $500,000 greater than the average revenue for the same winter months from 2009 through 2013. And even if they are below OPALCO’s faulty forecast and not keeping up with the cost of electricity OPALCO buys, this, alone, did not trigger this financial crisis. It was just the last straw.

So, just to be clear, the problem is not the “revenue

shortfall”. It is spending. The doubling of debt can only be explained by broadband. Most of the operating expense increases can also be tied to broadband and its interest payments.

The debt and spending is directly responsible for OPALCO violating the terms of its loan agreements, as Alex Conrad of Orcas demonstrated in a recent post (http://orcasissues.com/guest-opinion-revenue-shortfalls-in-opal-cos-rural-cooperative#comments).

I believe it is way past time for the OPALCO board and management to be honest with the membership about the true reasons for all this debt and spending and that one warmer-than-usual winter isn’t the root cause of OPALCO’s financial crisis. It also needs to provide the membership—as well as its lender—a “corrective action plan” that is some-thing other than the blank check it seems intent on writing, and that we will pay.

(A note to redears: The numbers I have used for debt, interest on debt and operating expenses are certified reports OPALCO is required to submit annually to its lender (called RUS Form 7s), and from its 2015 budget. I’ve had to esti-mate the electric revenues for this January, February and March from a line graph Hildreth presented to the board last week (May 28). He refused my request for the actual numbers used to create the graph).

— Editor’s note: Alex MacLeod is a 25-plus year member of OPALCO who lives on Shaw Island.

those positive changes. As is said today, “Anyone can get the legislation that they can write a check for.” Sad!

However, as sad as the above is and its harm to the 99 percent, the govern-ments, local, state and fed-eral, spend thousands of hours concocting rules and complex regulations that defy the credulity of reason. These regulations and rules demand permits and inef-ficient methods for imple-mentation, thereby creating bigger and bigger bureau-cracies to implement and enforce them. All for a very costly sum.

For example, I am not a contractor, but I would estimate that the cost of all the permits to clear, build and stay on a piece of land might equal 30 percent of the cost of the building. It is one cause that drives the potential home owner from being one. It is serious, and its creep is insidious.

It bodes ill to the younger generation and their aspira-tions. It is harmful to the self-motivated and work ethics of so many people who are trying to get ahead.

If your local or state legis-lator can’t control some san-ity in rules and regulations, vote them out for someone that will.

— Submitted by staff of SJC Noxious Weed Control program

In 2009, 17 poison hemlock exposures were recorded by the Washington Poison Center.

In 2010, a Bellingham man was hospitalized after having eaten what looked like a baby carrot growing in his garden. The same year a Tacoma woman died after acci-dently ingesting this deadly plant.

This year, the Washington Poison Center reports it has already treated 10 people who have eaten this highly toxic plant.

Poison hemlock is a potently poisonous member of the parsley family and when young, is easily confused with

other more benign members of this family, such as Queen Anne’s lace, wild chervil or domestic carrot.

It may be distinguished chiefly by its lacy, fern-like leaves, its height (up to 10 feet), its purple-blotched stalk and unpleasant odor. Poison hemlock’s stems and leaves are smooth and hair-less, whereas those of Queen Anne’s lace are hairy.

All parts of the plant are poisonous and only small amounts can sicken or kill both humans and animals.

In ancient Greece, hemlock was a clas-sic executioner’s potion and was used to execute Socrates.

Its toxic alkaloids initially will cause stimulation followed by severe depres-sion of the central nervous system, result-ing in death by respiratory paralysis.

Symptoms may appear 1-3 hours after ingestion, and include nausea, vomiting, dilation of the pupil’s confusion, sweat-ing, and rapid heartbeat. There is no antidote.

Touching the plant may cause skin reactions in some people (Turner et al. 1991*).

Cattle are the most susceptible of livestock but all classes of animals are affected by this plant’s toxicity. Poison hem-lock can also cause birth defects when consumed by preg-nant animals. Animals will normally avoid fresh plants; however, when dried, poison hemlock loses its characteris-tic “mousey” odor,” becoming more palatable, but remain-ing toxic.

Poison hemlock is a Class B designate noxious weed in San Juan County, and control is required. Although commonly seen along roadsides, and in open fields on the mainland, it is only sparsely scattered throughout the islands.

It has been found in gardens, pastures, gravel pits and in other disturbed areas. On San Juan Island, it was discovered inside a fenced community garden growing next to carrots, and on Shaw, it was found growing just outside a garden.

It thrives in cool, moist climates, making it well-adapted to the climate of the San Juan Islands. Wear protective clothing (including a long sleeved shirt, gloves and eye pro-tection) when working with poison hemlock.

In the winter and early spring, rosettes and bolt-ing plants can be dug out. Mature plants can be cut or mowed when they are in flower but before all flowers completely open. If cut ear-lier, the plants will regrow.

Remove all cut plants from gardens, pastures, play areas, since cut plants remain poi-sonous and chemicals leach-ing from the decomposing plants suppress the regrowth of other vegetation.

Do not burn the remains, as the smoke may be toxic.

Applying a layer of card-board will suppress poison

hemlock and its seed bank, which should then only be viable for about three years.

For chemical control, a glyphosate product can be applied with a brush or spot sprayed on individual rosettes. If you choose to use an herbicide, follow label instructions. The label is the law.

To help keep poison hemlock from spreading further in the islands, ask for noxious weed free soil and gravel.

If you wish further information, or would like to schedule a free site inspection for noxious weeds, please call either Judy Jackson or Jason Ontjes at the County Noxious Weed Control Program office (360-376-3499).

Two gardens on the shoreline, one vintage home set in an oak grove, one whimsical house and garden, and a garden literally on the rocks.

These are the treats in store in the 2015 Garden Tour, coordinated by the San Juan Island Garden Consortium, Saturday, June 13, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets are on sale now, $15 per person, and proceeds will go to member organizations of the Consortium to be recycled into community projects like the WSU Master Gardener Demonstration Garden at the Mullis Center, summer hanging baskets in town and premiums in the Flower Hall at the County Fair. You can purchase tickets at Griffin Bay Books, Ace Hardware, Browne’s Garden Center and Roche Harbor Store. Directions to the five gar-dens are printed on the back.

Docents from the member organizations will be available to answer questions and full descriptions will be placed on the Garden Club website: sjigardenclub.weebly.com. Parking is available at or near all the gardens and a spe-cial offer this year is a lemonade stand under spreading oak trees. Come for a refreshing drink between visits to the other featured gar-dens.

The two properties along False Bay are adjacent to one another, and share the same landscape designer, Steve Schramm of Island Gardens Company and construction contractor, Dan Lowe, of Lowe Construction. But, as you tour both, you will see, up close and personal, how very different two properties can be—the architecture, the layout,

and garden design and the plantings. Yet both convey the sense of wholeness Schramm brings to all his landscape designs.

The Green property was purchased from renowned textile artist Amanda Richardson when she returned to England. The new owners built a stunning new home designed by Tom Kundig, an innovative Seattle architect known for his industrial style mixed with the vibrant crafts culture of the Pacific Northwest. He also built their guest house which you must not miss!

Amanda’s garden was created to empha-size the beauty of its False Bay location and Schramm incorporated echoes of her garden plan in the new layout. Trees that could be saved were saved. Native curly Willow, Salal and Nootka roses were left be. The tall and stately, airy fence of metal stakes and reinforce-ment wire complements the house and land-scape. This beautiful connection between land and sea, man-made and nature-created, exem-

plifies the work Schramm and his Island Gardens Company bring to all their landscape design work.

The Prentice garden next door is approached via a curved driveway that replaced the straight construction road to the new home site. Now, the driveway creates privacy and an air of mystery. On the approach from the park-

ing area, Schramm plant-ed Oceanspray (yes, he did), and then trimmed it into a private tunnel that opens up to the front door of the house. Here he created berms, planted groves of trees and an easy-care bed at the right of the entry door, plant-ed with heather mounds that layer into Salal and grasses. Pathways are cre-ated wherever they can be incorporated, providing numerous routes to the water’s edge and its mag-nificent viewscape.

As you visit Jim and Katy Nollman’s garden, be prepared to be taken by what is not only an interesting garden, but a garden that reflects the owner’s deeply held philosophy that advocates for “gardens as spaces for a genuine healing rela-tionship between person and place.”—this from the jacket of his book, “Why We Garden,” Sentient Press, 1994.

Inside the fenced garden, practical, yet graceful, raised beds created with mortared stones are connected by simi-lar stone pathways, imbedded with inset stones, glass, and other found objects. This is an island on a rock, and these stones were all island-found, and the garden beds were built stone by stone.

At Portland Fair you will visit a landscape and home cre-ated with love and ingenuity — home and garden insepa-rable by design, and you are invited to tour both. What

you will see was accomplished solely by the owners Susan Carnes and Bill Ray. Many plants were acquired at local sales, traded for, given to, or “found”. All are thriving.

The hardscape is an ongoing labor of love that meanders through the property with pergolas here, walkways there, arbors, a magical potting shelf with its own plant angels. The outer edge is planted with Sequoiadendron giganteum, and the usual suspects of Ocean Spray, Salal, and Douglas fir are plentiful.

The house was originally built by Scott Gates in the 1970s. Susan and Bill bought the property in 1996, and said the only things growing well were bountiful thistles and old cars. Everything has been created by the owners, stained glass windows, paintings, woodcarvings and a meandering garden with little treasures at every turn.

At end of Glen Oak Lane, a vintage house, once a success-ful bed-and-breakfast, is framed by towering Garry oaks. These native species oak, Quercus garryana, are a dramatic presence here. This oak can live to be 300 years old. There are at least two dozen of these magnificent specimens here, though, sadly, one was lost this year.

The property has hosted a bluebird recovery effort aviary because it provides the exact habitat bluebirds prefer—stands of trees combined with open meadowland.

The “garden” consists of scattered beds and berms. Rosemary and Oceanspray mark the entrance. An oval bed on the left is anchored by a fat and sassy juniper and sur-rounded by iris, dusty miller and a volunteer peach tree.

Toward the front of the house an angled bed consists of a low growing juniper, rhododendron, lavender, and blousy orange poppies. Foundation plantings are rhodies, hydrangea, candytuft, and a large Spiraea ‘Bridal Veil’. This is not your typical “garden tour” garden. The beauty of this

place lies in the beauty of the location, its openness and spaciousness.

The trees shelter and enve-lope you, and also invite you to embrace their beauty. The respite spot for lemonade was placed here so you will have time to let yourself into the wonder of this savannah of Garry oaks in this special place on this special island.

Please become part of our island’s summer tradition and tour these varied, special gardens. We are very grate-ful to the owners who have allowed us to include them on the tour and hope you will enjoy the day and take home lots of gardening ideas.

Algae: the end to fossil fuelCan human society kick its addiction to

fossil fuels? Dr. Chuck Greene believe it can, and that

algae is the ticket that can help snap that habit.

The director of Ocean Resources and Ecosystems Program at Cornell University and a part-time San Juan Island resident, Dr. Greene will present and talk about his ambitious plan to transform the mechanics of modern society through algal bio-energy Thursday, June 11, at the Grange Hall in Friday Harbor, beginning at 7 p.m.

The event is sponsored by Islands Energy, a local coalition striving to increase energy efficiency and conservation, and to promote the use of renewable energy. Islands Energy is led by the San Juan Islands Conservation District, in partnership with Orcas Power & Light Cooperative.

Greene's research ranges from dynamics of marine animal populations to the effects of global climate change on ocean ecosys-tems. More recently, he led an interna-tional consortium of universities and other organizations conducting algal bio-energy research to help develop pathways for tran-

sitioning from fossil fuels to more sustain-able energy sources.

Along with this energy transformation, Greene's plan integrates technologies that reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmo-sphere while at the same time enhancing global food security.

movies and stage productions. Yockers will be casting for: Amanda Wingfield, mother, mid 50s; Laura Wingfield, daughter, early 20s. Tom Wingfield, son, mid 20s and Jim O’Conner, a gentleman caller, mid 20s. An

audition sign-up and perusal scripts are available at the SJCT Box Office, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays-Fridays; 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. The Glass Menagerie will be pre-sented on the Whittier Stage October 9-24.

Grand slams don’t come around all that often, not in Little League.

But the Friday Harbor Blue Bashers got one when they needed it most.

Ty Vague launched a

rocket that cleared the fence to drive in four runs and ignite the offense, leading the Bashers to a come-from-behind 11-10 victory in the championship game of the Inter-Island Majors Little League tournament, May 30 in Friday Harbor.

With the win, the Bashers (13-3) put the finishing touch on back-to-back vic-tories in the 5-team tourna-ment and avenged a loss in the championship game a year ago. But they needed a late-breaking display of fireworks at the plate and a resilient performance in the field to do it.

Trailing 7-1 in the fourth inning to the Friday Harbor “Silver” team, Vague’s 4-run homer catapulted the Bashers back into the game and the two island rivals waged a see-saw battle down the stretch.

Ethan Germain returned to the mound for the sixth and final inning and, with

two outs and two on, closed the door on the Silver’s last-ditch scoring threat by getting the final batter to ground out.

“It was the most exciting game I’ve ever been a part of in all my life,” Bashers Head Coach Brian Germain said.

The single-elimination

tournament, the culmina-tion of a three-month sea-son for ballplayers of 11-13 years of age, pitted three Friday Harbor teams against one another and one team each from Lopez and Orcas.

In recognition of the Palace Theatre’s 100th anniversary, the Friday Harbor’s annual Independence Day parade is going Hollywood.

The theme of the 2015 parade, which carries the distinction as one of the Top Ten “Small Town Parades in the U.S.,” is “Hooray for Hollywood.” Special guests include “Blitz,” mascot of the Seattle Seahawks, who will attend the Pig War Picnic for about one hour to pose for photographs, as well as the Keith Highlanders Pipe Band, a perennial parade favorite.

The parade, which gets underway at 10 a.m., is co-sponsored by King’s Market and the Town of Friday Harbor. Applications to participate in the parade are available at the San Juan Chamber of Commerce website, www.sanjuanisland.org. Click on the link for a slideshow of the 2014 parade.

The parade serves as kick-off to a long list of time-honored Independence Day events, followed by the Pig War Picnic, sponsored

by the Kiwanis Club and which unfolds on the grounds of San Juan Historical Museum, 425 Price Street, immediately after the close of the parade.

Next up is “Rock the Dock,” the annual street dance in the parking lot of San Juan Island Yacht Club, sponsored by the Rotary Club. The Fourth of July celebration culmi-nates in a fireworks display over the harbor, beginning after dusk, at about 10 p.m.

For more information or to volunteer to help with the holiday events, contact the Chamber’s Diana Mancel, 360-317-8809, or at [email protected].
