The U.S. Postal Service expects to save more than $500,000,000 a year by shutting down or cutting hours at about 13,000 post offices across the nation, mostly in rural locations.

Like on Shaw Island, where resi-dents are not happy to find out they’re part of the plan.

And, perhaps even less so to realize their input on options about service-reductions, request-ed by the Postal Service, proved to be a meaningless exercise.

Less than 24 hours after a pair of postal service employees attended a community meeting July 31 on Shaw, presumably to discuss results of the service-reduction survey, a notice appeared on a post office wall informing islanders that daily office hours would be reduced from eight to four.

“All they really had to say or could tell us was ‘We don’t know,’ and that really ticked people off,” Shaw Islanders, Inc. President Diana Wisen said of the two Postal emissaries sent to the meeting. “We knew they weren’t ‘decision-makers’ and sensed that a decision had already been made.

When push came to shove, it wasn’t even close.

Incumbent Rick Larsen, D-Everett, grabbed a command-ing lead in Washington state’s District 2 congressional primary, collecting 56.5 percent of 79,118 ballots cast in the three-way race.

Independent candidate Mike Lapointe, challenging the six-term congressman for the second-con-secutive election, came in a dis-tant third, garnering 11 percent of votes cast, 8,946.

Born in St. Louis, raised in Little Rock, Andrew Miller has seen a good deal of what the world has to offer, after 10-plus years of military service and three deployments over seas in Afghanistan, and most of the U.S.A., too.

With its mountains, evergreens and proximity to the Pacific Ocean, it doesn’t get much better than Washington state, says Miller, assigned to mortu-ary affairs at Joint Base Fort Lewis-McChord. Still, Miller wasn’t about to follow the lead of his comrades and plunge into the waters near Deception Pass for a kayak or paddle-board outing. He found a shady spot instead where he could leisurely watch his fel-low Wounded Warrior compatriots, and that was just fine.

“Uh, well, me and the water don’t quite get along,” the 27-year-old father of three admits. “But it was fun sitting out in the shade watching other people jump in.”

Miller, who, like many military veterans, strug-

gles with post-traumatic stress disorder, was among nearly 50 participants who took part in three days of programs and activities on Whidbey and San Juan islands, Aug. 7-9, as part of a “Soldier Ride” spon-sored by the Wounded Warrior Project. They were accompanied by a half-dozen WWP caregivers.

The group barbecued and engaged in water sports (or watched others do it) at Deception Pass, rode 17 miles in and around Oak Harbor, many outfitted with specialized bicycle equipment, and covered about the same amount of ground Saturday on San

The 44th annual Shaw Island Classic Sail race started at “High Noon” Saturday, Aug. 9, with 43 boats in all.

Skippers and crews competed in three classes, multi-hull (Catamaran and trimaran), PHRF (eligible to use spinna-kers in addition to main and jib), and cruising (main and jib only, no spinnakers allowed).

The fleet headed east toward Turn Point in light winds, making slow progress. However once they reached Harney Channel, between Orcas and Shaw islands, the winds picked up and some spirited racing commenced, only to be met again with the fickle winds which bedeviled many of the racers this year. The winds returned to Friday Harbor just before the end of the race, providing some interesting, electrifying finishes

First overall, and clear winner of the multihull division was the catamaran “Rum Line”, skippered by Ben Colwell. Colwell and crew finished the race in four hours, 27 min-utes, a full hour and 20 minutes before any other competi-tors.

Six additional boats crossed the finish line before the mandated 6 p.m. race ending time, all within the last 10 minutes of allowed time, making for some tight battles for class honors at the finish line.

Within the divisions, there were multiple classes, based

on hypothetical boat speed. In some classes, there were no boats that completed the full course, so a halfway time (taken near the Orcas ferry dock) was used to rank the competitors. Ratings were used to equalize the times for different sizes and types of boats.

Top finishers in each class are: Colwell, first overall; Chris White, first in PHRF-C, 2nd

overall; Arne Bentzen, first PHRF-B, 3rd overall; Zachary Warren, 1st PHRF-A, 4th overall. Complete results are available on the San Juan Island Yacht Club website, www.SJIYC.com

The “interim” label no longer applies.After 12 months at the helm of the University of

Washington Friday Harbor Laboratories as “interim” direc-tor, professor Billie Swalla has been named director of the world-renowned marine research facility.

An active researcher and member of the Labs community since 1999, Swalla agreed to serve as full-time director of the Labs for the next five years, according to a Labs press release. Her appointment, effectively immediately, is subject to approval of the U of W Board of Regents.

Swalla’s appointment as director followed a search process that included wide consultation with the Labs community.

“I am personally thrilled to have the opportunity to continue to work with Billie to support and enhance the infrastructure of the Labs while simultaneously creating and implementing a shared vision for FHL as a vibrant and impactful marine field station that is considered to be a crown jewel by both the UW and international research communities,” said Lisa J. Graumlich, Prentice and Virginia Bloedel Professor and Dean of the U of W College of the Environment.

Swalla has worked at the Labs for the past 15 years, teach-ing comparative invertebrate embryology, evolution and development of animals, as well as several undergraduate apprenticeships.

Her resume includes 30 years of conducting research and

teaching at marine laborato-ries worldwide. Her research has focused on genomics, evolution and development of marine invertebrates, and developmental gene net-works and how they evolve in animals into different, elaborate body plans.

Swalla can be reached by email at bjswalla@uw.edu, or by telephone, at 206-616-0764.

San Juan County has been select-ed to advance to the quarterfinals of Georgetown University's Energy Prize, a $5 million incentive competition to reduce energy consumption.

“The enthusiasm in these commu-nities is contagious,” said Dr. Francis Slakey, executive director of the Prize. “This is the first time so many gov-ernments, utilities, and community groups will be working together to reduce energy consumption.”

San Juan County is among a select group of only 52 small counties and medium-sized cities that have advanced to the competition's quar-

terfinal round.“We are truly off to an excellent

start” said County Councilman Bob Jarman, a member of the newly estab-lished Energy Leadership Team that includes leaders of the county, Town of Friday Harbor, Conservation District, OPALCO, school districts, ports, industry, and community organiza-tions.

The San Juan County Energy Plan, a key component of the competition, is being developed in collaboration with the Energy Leadership Team and Islands Energy. It's designed as a countywide plan that encompasses

municipal buildings, school facili-ties, and residential energy use. Its goal is to reduce energy use, promote renewable energy, and keep electricity costs low. This effort, facilitated by the Conservation District, is sponsored by OPALCO.

The Georgetown University Energy Prize aims to rethink America’s energy use by harnessing the ingenuity and community spirit of towns and cities all across America. To learn more about the competition or track its progress, visit www.guep.org, or follow the prize on Twitter (@GUEnergyPrize).

County makes quarterfinal cut

Juan Island, from the Mullis Street fire station, out Bailer Hill Road, along False Bay Drive to Cattle Point Road and Fourth of July Beach, and then back again.

Miller found himself pull-ing “double duty” on the road, helping push riders who couldn’t quite make it up and over a hill or two. A first-time Soldier Ride par-ticipant, he found out quickly what many a bicyclist comes to know about San Juan’s roads. “There were a lot of hills,” he said.

Pitching in, helping out, and connecting with fel-low veterans is what the Wounded Warrior Project is all about. Miller said veterans

share a bond and set of expe-riences that is difficult for most civilians to understand.

“When you’re around other wounded warriors you

all have a common bond, and it’s not branch specific,” he said. “I like to call it a ‘safe’

place.” A non-profit funded by

corporate sponsors and pri-vate donations, large and small, the Wound Warrior Project has 17 office across the country and is headquar-tered in Jacksonville, Fla. Its goal is to introduce vet-erans an active lifestyle and to foster fellowship among participants. It doesn’t take

long for bonds to unite, said WWP spokesperson Leslie Coleman.

“Almost instantly they feel like they’re connecting with ‘their people,’ if you will,” Coleman said. “It’s like instant brotherhood and sis-terhood sets in.”

After freshening up at the Friday Harbor Suites, the wounded warriors were treated to a Mexican buffet at San Juan Golf & Country Club, and many seized upon the invitation to play a couple holes of golf, or more.

Cal Wilcox, one of about eight women veterans on the Soldier Ride, , proved more of a spectator on the golf course, but as equally enthusiastic behind the wheel of a golf cart as she is about the ben-efits of the Wounded Warrior Project.

“A lot of people don’t feel comfortable about going out to get help,” said Wilcox, a former military medic who did two tours in Iraq. “Here there are people who under-stand what they’re going through and what they’re talking about. I call it a ‘safe haven’.”

“Serving the San Juan Islands for over 40 years”

People were angry, and I do mean angry.” The Shaw Island post office is not alone. Postal Service

spokesman Ernie Swanson said daily hours at the Deer Harbor and Waldron offices have already been reduced to six and that the operating hours of Orcas Island’s Olga office is due to be reduced to four. In Washington state, Swanson said roughly 200 offices are on the postal service’s “POST plan” list and about 80 percent of those already have taken a cut in hours.

“Generally it is the smaller, rural post offices that are part of the plan,” he said. “Most people would prefer no change, but usually, given the options, reduced hours is what’s preferred.”

The postal service has lost “huge quantities” of revenue over the last few years, Swanson said, in large part due to the combination of growing reliance on digital communication and steady decline in of first-class mail, the longtime postal service “bread and butter.”

Whether the cut in hours at Shaw’s post office is a “done deal” remains to be seen. Residents have sought and enlisted the help of U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Bellingham, to advocate on their behalf. Wisen noted that reducing office hours to six a day was not among the four options included on the service-reduction survey circulated on Shaw.

In a Aug. 7 letter to Post Master General Patrick Donaho, Larsen called on the Postal Service to classify the Shaw

Island post office as a “Part-Time Post Office,” a designa-tion under which the office would be allowed to operate six hours a day.

“Part-Time Post Offices are the standard for offices in similarly situated remote island communities,” Larsen said in the letter. “In official correspondence with my staff with respect to the post office located on Waldron Island, in October of 2012, your representative explained that under the Post Plan, the USPS operations team has determined that offices ‘that are on islands and have limited transporta-tion services to the mainland…will have their retail hours adjusted to being open six hours per day.’.”

It’s much more than a matter of convenience, Wisen said about the hours of operation of the island post office. Many of residents, the elderly in particular, receive medication through the mail, some of which is refrigerated and timely pickup is paramount. Moreover, she said a reduction to four hours would mean that the postal service would attempt to replace the Shaw postmaster with a contract-employee that would be paid $11 an hour.

“Who would they get to do that?” she said. “People here make $20 an hour making beds or cleaning toilets.”

Moreover, she said that many post offices where hours have been reduced are in areas where people can drive to another post office, like on Orcas. That’s not an option on Shaw.

“We don’t have another post office and we don’t have a way to get to one, other than paying $26 for a ferry ticket.”

REDUCE • REUSE • RECYCLEIf trends hold, Larsen, seeking a seventh-consecutive

term in the U.S. House of Representatives, will square off in November against Republican Party challenger B.J. Guillot. The top two voter-getters advance to the Nov. 4 general election. Guillot gathered 32 percent of ballots cast, a total of 24,449 votes, in Tuesday’s early election results.

“Growing up in Arlington, I learned the values of community, service and commitment. These same values guide my work today,” Larsen said in a post-election press release. “That’s why I’m fighting to raise the federal minimum wage, combat income inequality, create jobs in our community and fix our bro-ken immigration system.”

On the eve of the primary, Lapointe drew the endorsement of the San Juan Democratic Party, an abrupt change in course for the group and its long-standing support for the District 2 incumbent. The party cited Larsen’s failure to “adequately” address the negative impacts of the proposed coal export at Cherry Point and expansion of navy jet-noise from the Whidbey Island-based fleet of Growlers for break-ing ranks with the longtime party favorite.

To party Chairman David Dehlendorf the primary results come as no surprise. Larsen has strong support from the party on the mainland and, as an incumbent, has the all-important advantage of “name familiarity,” Dehlendorf said.

“Mike’s not real well known, particularly on the main-

land,” he said. “He’s fighting an uphill battle.”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.

In San Juan County, Lapointe and Guillot ran neck-and-neck. Lapointe garnered 20 percent of the local vote, 768, and Guillot collected 22 percent of Tuesday’s results, 839 votes. A minimum of 350 more ballots have yet to be count-ed, according to the county Elections department.

The District 2 congressional election is the only contested race on the local primary ballot. In other local primary results, incumbent state 40th district Rep. Kristine Lytton, D-Anacortes, garnered 71 percent of ballots cast, 2,683, and opponent Daniel Miller of San Juan Island collected 28 percent, 1,065.

State Rep. Jeff Morris, D-Mount Vernon, drew 2,877 votes in an uncontested race and San Juan County Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord, also unopposed, drew 2,580 votes (the number of write-in votes are not totaled in local results).

As of Wednesday, voter-turnout for the Aug. 5 primary in San Juan County stands at 32.6 percent, with 11,966 regis-tered voters and 3,908 ballots counted. Primary results are expected to be updated Thursday. County Auditor Milene Henley, manager of local elections, anticipates voter-turn-out for the 2014 primary to reach 40 percent.

Coincidence? Not likely in my book

Tolerance? What toler-ance? I’ve been driving for 56 years and never have I had anyone key my car.

Never, that is, until I put a “Friends Don’t let Friends join the Friends” bumper sticker on my car. So much for tolerance.

Islanders should be proud of PIMC

Residents of Friday Harbor should be proud of the excellent Peace Island Medical Center facility on your island.

My husband, Bruce, and I recently visited friends Jerry and Dede McCormick, who reside in Friday Harbor. Unfortunately, Bruce bumped his leg while on the ferry to San Juan Island.

That evening, July 10, the bump had developed into a large hematoma and medi-cal assistance was required.

Bruce was seen by a doctor who evaluated the injured site, treated the area, and took the time to answer all our questions. The doc-tor told us to return if the swelling had not subsided before we left the island to return to Ohio.

On Saturday, July 12, we made another trip to the busy medical facility and were fortunate to be treat-ed by Dr. Appleton, who performed minor surgery to relieve pressure. Dr. Appleton told us he would write a report for us to take

to Ohio, and he had the report ready later in the day.

The Peace Island Medical Center was busy that Saturday afternoon, and we appreciated the extra effort to get the report done before we left the island to return to Ohio.

What a friendly and effi-cient staff we encountered at the Peace Island Medical Center. The residents of Friday Harbor are fortunate to have such a fine facility.

BETTY CRITTENDENReminderville, Ohio

Wistful reminder of wit that was

Last week’s letter to the editor, “Flummoxed by furor over felines,”(July 30, pg. 6) reminded me of why I miss the former “Sheriff ’s Log”—it provided us a chance to appreciate Scott Rasmussen’s wit and sense of humor.

We enjoyed the lead ins of, “A cracked taillight lens and a familiar face led to the arrest of….”; or the report of a man bit by a dog at the Love Dog Cafe; the female shoplifters referred to as “the sisterhood of the dis-appearing pants”; and our all-time favorite, the break in where the invader, “ran-sacked the refrigerator, pil-laged the pantry and sacked the spice drawer.” Thanks, Scott.

Affordable homes deserve support

I was delighted to read recently about the chal-lenge grant offered to the Community Home Trust in order to begin the next phase of affordable homes

on San Juan Island. With two neighborhoods

already finished, Salal and Sun Rise (phase I), and thriving, beginning the next phase of new homes seems timely and important.

I talked to people who live in Home Trust hous-es at the recent Fiesta San Juan, at Brickworks. They love their homes and the sense of community they feel with their neighbors.

In my opinion this is the kind of community effort we should all be supporting.

The people who live in the Home Trust develop-ments have made a com-mitment to the community by buying a house, working and choosing to raise their families here or to continue their lives in our midst.

Given the high cost of living for all of us who live in the islands, creating a few homes which are “forever affordable” seems a worth-while effort to support.

I intend to send in a donation, knowing that it will be part of that matching gift. I hope that many others do, too.

Journal cartoon shows disrespect

I was disturbed to view the cartoon on the Opinion page of the August 6 Journal depicting the “San Juan Dems” as....how can I describe it?... an avenging donkey on the warpath.

This cartoon crosses a line of good taste and dem-onstrates a partisanship that is inappropriate for a com-munity newspaper.

I believe the Journal should not allow a cartoon-ist in its employ to pro-

mote extreme partisanship, demonizing a political party that has widespread support in the community it serves.

Indeed “San Juan Dems” are the majority party on San Juan Island if the results of state and national elec-tions are any indication.

Instead, I encourage the Journal to reexamine its editorial policies so that it encourages respect among differing points of view.

We may disagree on issues in this community from time to time, but we should agree to treat each other with more respect than is shown in this car-toon. An apology to “San Juan Dems” is also needed.

Bullseye; cartoonstrikes the mark

Uncontested, but not unconcerned

I want to take a moment to thank the voters of San Juan County for participat-ing in the 2014 Primary Election.

I especially want to thank the voters who marked their ballot in support of my next term as your county Prosecuting Attorney and Coroner.

Your votes matter. If you are not satisfied with the work of the Prosecutor’s Office I ask that you contact me and let me know what you think.

Each year, the prosecu-tor and deputy prosecutors make thousands of deci-sions big and small. It is my goal that the work of the prosecutor’s office will stand the test of time and that I will receive your vote in the November election

Editorial

It’s hereCarnival rides. Elephants ears. Corn dogs.

Rabbit races. And this year, the return of the Egg Roll booth.

Yep, it’s time for the San Juan County Fair.Its four-day run starts Wednesday.The fair offers an opportunity to discover and

admire the creativity, passion, hobbies and the enterprise of our neighbors. It’s a time to play together, compete against one another, cheer each other on, and celebrate the achievements of friends, neighbors and of islanders that we have yet to meet. The fair grounds us in a way like no other single occasion to the place that we all call home, like one great big family reunion.

It’s a pretty good bargain, too, just $25 for a season pass (adults), $18 for seniors, $15 for kids, and youth exhibitors get a free pass.

For adults, it’s like a pinch over $5.50 a day. On “Kids Day”, children can climb aboard as many amusement rides as they can stomach, from noon to 5 p.m., Thursday and Friday, for $22.

Islanders are not alone in their appreciation of the fair. Of the 20,000 people, or so, who attend-ed the 2013 Fair, about 10 percent live outside the county.

Check out our Fair Guide, a 20-page special pull-out section with schedules, activities, hours, features, profiles and more. So, we’ll see you at the Fair!

PUBLIC MEETINGS

By Richard FademSpecial to the Journal

Alex MacLeod of Shaw Island has had three letters published by island news outlets over the past couple of months. They detail the OPALCO Board’s

chicanery and apparent dishonesty. Every OPALCO member should read them in sequence.

(Links to letters online below). They first astonish, then prompt indignation and finally

disgust. The third (“Tight grip on truth at OPALCO Board,” July 30, pg. 7) seems to prove what he had conjectured in the first two.

They expose an apparent betrayal of trust and a pattern of deceit, moral and financial, that should compel OPALCO’s members, we owners, to demand the resignations of Chris Thomerson, the Board chair during much of the period, and Randy Cornelius, the general man-ager, as well as any other Board members found to be complicit.

Thomerson and Cornelius seemed to have lied to members in public meet-ings about OPALCO’s lawyers’ intimi-dation of a resigning board member and a member of the County Council. Thomerson and Cornelius did so apparently to conceal a greater lie, one to all of us: that of their going ahead with a financially risky broadband project under the cover of “electric-system infrastructure.”

Thomerson or Cornelius even went so far, it appears, as to lie to a new board member about the contents of bills from the law firm and why MacLeod’s request to see the bills should be denied.

The bills, MacLeod later learned from a board member who reviewed them at his request, corroborates his earlier conjecture that OPALCO’s lawyers had not acted indepen-dently, as Thomerson, Cornelius and other board members

claimed, but on orders from Thomerson as chair, and per-haps also Cornelius.

MacLeod’s letters are meticulously researched and respon-sible (he is the retired managing editor of The Seattle Times, and, full disclosure, I know him). His motivation is disinter-ested and that of any good newspaperman: to serve the pub-lic interest by exposing those who betray the public trust.

“OPALCO CARES” is the new motto, but cares about what? Mostly, it seems, about concealment.

Thomerson and the board evidently violated OPALCO’s bylaws by doing much of their business in executive and “working sessions,” both of which are secret, neither of which the bylaws provide for. As for its regular meetings, the board has so streamlined its minutes that they cease to inform. Sadly, OPALCO is most transparent now only in the board’s determination to shroud what it is doing.

Led by Thomerson, the board undertook a multi-million dollar broadband project. An insufficient number of the membership endorsed the project, most deciding not to pay an additional $15/month, much less commit to a $90-a-month broadband-connection charge. Undeterred, the board, it appears, has persevered in its project, now camouflaging it under expenditures for the maintenance and improvement of its core electrical service.

As I See It

Sure, OPALCO cares, but about what?Integrity of Co-op tarnished by a trail of apparent untruths, deception

The realtors and staff of Windermere San Juan Island are at it again, helping to make a

positive difference in our island com-munity.

On Augu. 1, in conjunction with Windermere Corporate, the “Kicks for Kids” Sneaker Drive was put into action.

Last Friday, with the first dona-tion from the Martin Hulse Family of San Juan Island, the Windermere SJI crew began a collection of chil-dren’s shoes, sizes 1-9, for island families.

The event continues until the “Last Round-Up Saturday,” Aug. 16, at the San Juan County Fair.

All shoes collected through the Windermere San Juan Island office will be delivered on Aug. 18 to the San Juan Island Family Resource Center and distributed to island fam-ilies in need, seeing to a new pair of shoes for every child on the first day of school.

“Studies show that when kids feel good about their appearance, it improves both their self-esteem and their performance in school,” said OB Jacobi, president of Windermere Real Estate. “We think every child deserves to start the school year on the right foot, so with the public’s help, we’re determined to make that happen for as many kids as pos-sible.”

To participate in the Kicks for Kids

event, please drop off new or gently used children’s shoes, sizes 1-9, to a collection box; found in our office on Spring Street, or at the San Juan County Fair from Aug. 13-16. Look for the Kicks for Kids logo and collec-tion box.

For information on how to donate sneakers or funds for sneakers con-tact Gary Franklin at the Windermere office, 360-378-3600, our event page on Facebook.

of you are acquiescing. It also appears that you

want to go it alone on keep-ing up with the shipment of coal and oil by train and ship in the area—a gigan-tic task considering all the other matters you have to attend to—rather than rely on the best-informed coun-ty citizen who was prepared to keep you up on these matters for a mere $5,000.

I don’t get it. None of this makes any sense.

I think you need to rein-state the contract in order to protect our waters, the whales, our quality of life, our tourist industry, and our real-estate values.

And you need to make it clear to all that you won’t tolerate one member of the

Council making such deci-sions all by himself.

— Submitted by FH Animal Protection SocietyThe Animal Protection Society – Friday Harbor is very

pleased to announce the kickoff of a capital campaign to raise funds for a new animal shelter facility on San Juan Island.

The project, “New Home – New Hope” was formally announced to the community at last Sunday’s ‘Wags to Riches’ event, and the initial response has been extremely positive.

The project started as a vision of the executive direc-tor, Leslie Byron, and the current board president Jaime Ellsworth. Two years ago, the dream became a necessity when APS was made aware that the current property lease with the Port of Friday Harbor would more than likely be shortened from 20 years to five years.

With the deteriorating conditions of the current shelter building and the future loss of the current property lease it was decided by the APS board to start searching for a new location and build a new facility.

The project was able to move forward with a very gen-erous donation to APS by Robert and Rebecca Pohlad in honor of their German Shepherd ‘Luca’. The donation was substantial enough to purchase property for the new build-ing.

After an extensive search for suitable property, a 5-acre parcel was purchased very near the existing shelter, at 994 Cattle Point Rd. As the project progressed, the new shelter development committee contacted Mark Travers, a renowned architect from Seattle. Mark was the designer for the NOAH Shelter on I-5, near Stanwood.

In his generosity, Mark has offered APS his personal time, knowledge, design services and consultations at no expense to the organization. Mark and his team have designed a beautiful, efficient, low stress, low impact facility that will be a welcome addition to the San Juan Island community.

The campaign kickoff was announced at the annual Wags to Riches event on Sunday, Aug 3. The response was overwhelming.

During the ‘raise the paddle’ portion of the live auction, it was announced by Bob and Lissa McDowell that their intention was to offer a ‘substantial matching of funds’ to get everyone at the event involved in the campaign kickoff.

The tone was set, and the crowd rallied; with the help of professional auctioneer Jay Fiske of NW Benefit Auctions and McDowell match, approximately $135,000 was pledged towards the New Home – New Hope Capital Campaign.

It was a fantastic start to a serious campaign to build the new facility.

APS-FH will be partnering with the Community Foundation to raise the funds needed for this campaign. The project can only happen with the help and generosity of our community. It is our hope to make the new shel-ter a reality within the next two years.

More information about the campaign and new shelter plans contact Leslie Byron, 360-378-2159, or email director@apsfh.com.

Contributed photo / APSAbove; designs of the new home of the Friday Harbor animal shelter, unveiled Aug. 3 at the APS’s annual “Wags to Riches” fundraiser.

The board’s conduct is fis-cally questionable and ethi-cally wrong, and may vio-late the directors’ fiduciary responsibilities. The board has denied us information regarding OPALCO’s direc-tions, undertakings, and financial risks, for which we, the owner-members, are liable.

Many of us moved to San Juan County so as to live in a small community whose dealings were transparent, responsive to the residents, and largely just. Now we learn that OPALCO, whose only job is to ensure reli-able electricity at a fair cost, exhibits an arrogance, clan-destine manipulation, and deceit we expect to find at an Enron, a Countrywide, the too-big-to-fail banks and General Motors.

What amazes one about OPALCO is how the clum-sy, ham-fisted behavior appears disproportionate to the stakes. Are we missing

something? But the behavior is not

yet endemic, and while we can still assign person-al culpability, we can call for Thomerson's resigna-tion and the resignations of those on the board and in management who acted on the principle that their ends justify their shameless means.

Now OfferingFinancing

By Howard SchonbergerJournal columnist

Last year my wife Helen and I took a Road Scholar Tour of Alaska. It was the only state I had not seen in these United States. I am

working on a notebook of my impressions, rating my country’s 50 states and find that my residence here is still Numero Uno, despite Alaska’s splen-did mountains, wildlife and Northern Lights, and California’s Bay Area, Yosemite and Hollywood.

Washington still beats them despite their claims.

When I first came here to visit in 1975, the late Glenn Ranson, who worked with me at the Palo Alto Times, was selling real estate and sold me a lot at Cape San Juan. My late wife and

I decided then that this was where we would retire.

Four years later, I quit the Palo Alto Times, after 30 years. I have no regrets. I went to work for the Friday Harbor Journal, owned at the time by Frank Leeming. He was a pro. Several other firms have owned the paper since then, but our present owners are the first who seem to have the knack of what has kept newspapers alive through all the threats of technology, like radio, television, and now blog-ishing via internet, and the like.

I know, some people think newspapers are kaput. Not this cowboy.

The County Fair is a good example of why it won’t happen here. We’ve had a County Fair for over a hundred years, just as we’ve had a strong newspaper for more years than that. It is just one example of how we all pitch in to make things

work. One of the first things Glenn Ranson asked me to do when I got here was to transfer to the Lions Club here, from my Palo Alto Club. I was sitting at the Lions steak dinner at the fairgrounds, at the time with the late Ross Miner, my neighbor. I’ve done something there annually in my 54 years as a Lion.

T h e n Ross Miner, a retired Marine col-onel who served in W W I I , Korea and Vietnam, had me j o i n

the Yacht Club along with another n e i g h b o r , the late Jim Hitch. I bought a boat from the late Dick Barnes, at Snug Harbor, so we could fill our crab nets, fish and do stuff with the Yacht Club and the Power Squadron. As a former 4H member on the farm in Eastern Shore of Maryland, I felt obliged to help on their Fair activities (bidding for duck eggs against the Roche Harbor kitchen, in particular).

There soon became a Rotary Club and Kiwanis Club to pitch in on community affairs, scholarships and the like. Former county commissioner Darcie Nielsen spoke out against the male service clubs “Mens Only” rules. I went to-bat for Darcie, and won. The Friday Harbor Lions invited her to join. In return, I applied for membership in the Soroptomists and was a member until our pub-lisher (a woman) chose to be a representative.

Purple & Gold, Farmers Market, Medical Guild, CATS, Island Artisans, Friends of the Library, Mullis Center… what more could you ask for?

Think about the tens of thousands of impover-ished children and adults who have received eye-sight through glasses collected by the late Lion

Roy Matsumoto. Think of the sidewalk the Lions put in on Spring Street, alongside the clinic and convalescent center years ago and the fish-ing and mooring dock The Leos and Lions clubs built and maintain on Egg Lake.

I could list equal accom-plishments by all the other 90-plus non-profits that flourish on our island, but we all know who you are and we’re all a good part of why the proud people of the San Juans love it here.

See you at the Fair. — Go with the F.L.O.W.

By Richard WalkerIslanders could pay an annual parcel fee of $50 per developed lot and $25 per undeveloped lot, as well as a $5 fee each time they deposit refuse at the solid waste transfer station, to help fund solid waste ser-vices in San Juan County.

Those fees, u n a n i m o u s -ly endorsed Thursday by the Solid Waste

Advisory Committee, are intended to provide a reli-able revenue stream for capital improvements and other system investments. Currently, the solid waste transfer stations are fund-ed by tipping fees, which provide revenue that fluctu-ates based on use.In addition to the new

fees, the self-haul tipping fee — what individual islanders pay to dump their garbage at the waste trans-fer station — would drop from $294 per ton, or 14.7 cents a pound, to $195.98

Anna J sinks, crew survives

Charles Chevalier at Harborview recovering from near-drowning

EARLY DEADLINES: La-

bor Day, a federal holiday, is

Monday. Display and legal adver-

tisements are due Thursday,

noon, for the Sept. 9 Journal.

All other deadlines are un-

changed.

“I’m not in favor of a new tax, but we need a stable funding source.”— Carrie Lacher, SWAC chairwoman

Singer-songwriter Jan Zurcher has no real boundaries when it comes to inspi-ration for a new song.

And, it didn’t take long for the muse to strike after Zurcher and her hus-band, Jim, moved from Seattle to their newly adopted home of San Juan Island. That was five years ago, and only about three weeks after the ill-fated fishing voy-age of the venerable purse seiner known as the Anna J.

While Captain Charles Chevalier and crew survived the ship’s downing, Chevalier almost miraculously so, their 20-minute ordeal off the shore of San Juan Island’s South Beach offered all the intensity, emotion and drama of a cap-tivating sea-faring song.

An award winner at that. The Zurchers, who read about the account of the Capt. Chevalier and crew

in the Sept. 2, 2009, edition of the Journal, won first prize in the John Kotta Memorial Songwriting Contest of the 2014 Port Gamble Maritime Music Festival. The couple performed the song, “The Wreck of the Anna J,” composed in traditional sea-faring ballad form, with Jan on guitar and vocals, and Jim on bass, this past weekend.

It’s the second John Kotta Memorial award-winner for Zurcher, born and raised in Winnepeg, Manitoba (“…about as far away from the sea as you can get.”) whose song “Tall Ships,” inspired by boats in the Port of Friday Harbor, earned second place just a year ago.

by Jan & Jim Zurcher

The sea is our master and we are its slaves.

You’ll not know when the wind will whip up the waves.

When the sun shines bright, the water… it gleams

And life on the ocean is perfect it seems.

But when from the north blows a storm like a knave

Your ship is hove to to a watery grave

Your ship is hove to to a watery grave.

On a day like most others, we pushed off from shore

Third day of the season – there’s salmon galore

We’ve worked the whole day and we’ve made a good catch

Just one final set, then we’ll close up the hatch

Just one final set, then we’ll close up the hatch.

We’ve finished third set and we’re heading for home

When the wind snaps a stay, takes control of the boom

Our ship, it lists starboard, load on deck slides there too

We’re taking on water… oh God save the crew

We’re taking on water… oh God save the crew.

Captain Chevalier in the pilot house stands

Trying to save all of the hands

Nash – by some rigging – is struck on the head

As he goes in the water, we pray he’s not dead

As he goes in the water, we pray he’s not dead.

Four of us scramble into the skiff

We try to be brave though beginning to drift

The Anna J starts to make her descent

We wonder if Charlie’s life has been spent

We wonder if Charlie’s life has been spent.

Then the pilot house breaks free of the deck

Charlie is saved but the sea claims the wreck

The Brittiany has plucked Nick Nash from the sea

And all the crew’s rescued from what was to be

All the crew’s rescued from what was to be.

Repeat the first 6 lines.

Guess who has a 30th anniversary to celebrate? Bingo. It’s none other than San Juan Island Park and Recreation

District, better known as, actually, known almost exclu-sively as, Island Rec.

And, your mug can be front-and-center in the celebra-tion’s spotlight, or that of your children’s, or perhaps your pooch, as part of Island Rec’s upcoming anniversary party, Sept. 6, at Sunken Park. The party takes place in conjunc-

tion with that week’s episode of Movies in the Park.

That Friday’s featured presentation is “Ghostbusters,” starring… well, you know who stars in it, “Who ya’ gonna’ call?” Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray and that other guy. The film gets under way at dusk, and the popcorn is free (Other guy is Harold Ramis, did you really think we didn’t know, eh?).

Island Rec is collecting submitted photos from over the last 30 years of Island Rec-

sponsored programs, activities, classes, dances, trips, tours

and trail walks for display at Sept. 6 anniversary party. The festivities include contests in a variety of categories,

such as “Best Faces,” “Activities,” “Historical Photo,” with various age brackets. Photos should be mounted and sub-mitted to the Island Rec office, 580 Guard St.

Lovers beset by stormy seas in ‘Enchanted’ Isle

In one extraordinary pro-duction, lovers of Baroque opera have it all: the world’s best singers, glorious music of the Baroque masters and a story drawn from Shakespeare.

The “Enchanted Island” is featured in The Met: Live in HD Summer Encores series at San Juan Community Theatre, Sunday, Aug. 17 at 2 p.m.

Originally transmit-ted in January 2012, The Enchanted Island features lovers from Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” who are ship-wrecked on his other-worldly island from “The Tempest”.

The work showcases arias and ensembles by Handel, Vivaldi, Rameau, and oth-ers, and a new libretto devised and written by

Jeremy Sams. Conductor William

Christie leads an all-star cast, with David Daniels (Prospero) and Joyce DiDonato (Sycorax) as the formidable foes, Plácido Domingo as Neptune, Danielle de Niese as Ariel, and Luca Pisaroni as Caliban. Lisette Oropesa and Anthony Roth Costanzo play Miranda and Ferdinand.

The Summer Encores series closes Aug. 31, with Gounod’s “Roméo et Juliette” featured in the finale. Tickets for The Enchanted Island tickets: $15 adults, $10 student reserved; purchase online at www.sjctheatre.org, or at the box office: 378-3210.

Olympics Mts. in focus in climate change lecture

Learn how the coasts and inter-tidal communi-ties of the Pacific Northwest are impacted by climate change in a presenta-tion by Olympic National Park Coastal Ecologist and Marine Resources Manager Dr. Steven Fradkin Wednesday, Aug. 20, at the San Juan Island Library, beginning at 7 p.m.

As with all talks in the series, Dr. Fradkin’s presen-tation will be followed by a discussion.

This presentation is the seventh in an 8-part series entitled “The Climate Action Imperative: Understanding Impacts & Making Choices, featuring eight experts on climate change—from oceanogra-phers to botanists, biolo-gists to meteorologists. The series offers an informed look at climate change and actions warranted by individuals, states and the nation.

Fradkin attended

Michigan State University, Dartmouth College and the University of Oregon, where he studied zoology, aquatic ecology and marine biol-ogy. He was drawn to the Olympic National Park for its wilderness and ocean-to-mountain terrain. The series is sponsored by a consortium of various pub-lic agencies and local civic groups, such as San Juan Nature Institute, the library and Grange No. 966.

The series finale features OSU climatologist and atmospheric scientist Dr. Philip Mote, at Brickworks, Aug. 28. For more on the series or guest speakers, visit www.madrona.org.

Our Shared ResponsibilitySpecial ceremony for theTotem Pole Journey

A dozen islanders have been appoint-ed to the San Juan Islands National Monument Advisory Committee.

Created by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which oversees manage-ment of the National Monument, the Advisory Committee is tasked with offering information and advice on development of a monument resource management plan. Members of the committee, were selected for their expertise in natural resource and local community issues.

“Our advisory groups exemplify the BLM’s collaborative approach to

public land management,” said BLM Director Neil Kornze. “I want to wel-come our newly appointed members and thank them for their commitment to public service.”

Committee members and categories they represent are:

Michael Carlson (private landown-ers), Erin Corra (education/interpreta-tion), Eric Eisenhardt (wildlife/ecolog-ical), Jacquelyn Ferry (cultural/heri-tage), Gene Helfman (wildlife/ecologi-cal), Michael Jonas (cultural/heritage), Barbara Marrett (recreation /tourism), Rhea Miller (public-at-large), Thomas

Reeve (public-at-large), Thomas Reynolds (recreation/tourism), James Stephens (local government), Thomas Wooten (tribal interests)

The resource management plan will be a comprehensive land-use plan designed to direct the management of approximately 1,000 acres of public lands in the San Juan Islands National Monument, which was designated by Presidential Proclamation March 25, 2013.

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 quan- tity 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.

Keeping an eye on local Orca whales

Orca eyepatches are also an important marking used for identi� cation. Eyepatches, the white

patch above the eye, are unique to individuals just like saddle patches. Sometimes we can’t get a good look at the saddle patch, say when a whale spyhops, but we can use the eyepatch instead to identify the individual. � is eyepatch photo is of the most recent calf in L pod L119.— Center for Whale Research

Sometimes we can’t get a good look at the saddle patch, say when a whale spyhops, but we can use the eyepatch instead to identify the individual. � is eyepatch photo is of the most recent calf in L pod L119.— Center for Whale Research

Eyepatches are important, too!

Whales of any � ecies can be individually recognized by their natural shapes and

color pa� erns using a technique called “photo-identi� cation” that was pioneered in the 1960’s and 70’s by biologists at San Juan Island’s Cen-ter for Whale Research. � e local “killer whales”, now a� ectionately known as Orca, are among the most distinctively appearing whales in the world, and many individuals can be easily recognized by naturalists and admirers of wildlife. To assist with this recognition, a photo-identi� cation catalogue of every individual orca whale common to the Pa-ci� c Northwest has been maintained by biologists at the Center since 1976, and it is updated every year.

As a result of this cataloguing some very remarkable facts have been un-covered about the local Orca whales and about their � ecies worldwide. For

example, their natural lifespan is long (comparable to human lifespan to eighty or more years) and they travel in family groups (known as “pods”) swimming 75 miles per day on average. � ree of these family groups, designated J,K, and L pods, are frequently seen travelling back and forth around the San Juan Islands from May to October; and, they have been termed “resident”. Other family groups and individ-uals are typically less frequently seen around the San Juan Islands; and, they have been termed “transient”. From long-term observation and genetic studies it has been learned that the “residents” and “transients”

do not mix and inter-breed – they are very, very distant relatives, somewhat analogous to Humans and Neander-thals but both living at the same time, and in

the same general area.In fact, when we extend these individual and ge-

netic studies we � nd that there are probably ten or more distantly related large branches of the Orca family tree worldwide that do not naturally mix or interbreed, and they have been on this planet much longer than we Humans have. Sci-entists are just now trying to determine whether this arrangement constitutes a complex of many � ecies, and why. Nonetheless, we have a very pre-cious “resident” population here in the San Juans, and they have been recently a� rmed as Endan-gered under the US Endangered Species Act and Canada’s Species at Risk Act.

� e questions are out there, from deep pon-dering about the roles that � ecies play in the web of life on Earth, to what time will the whales be seen at Lime Kiln whale-watch park. We do not yet have all of the answers, but if we keep

our eye on the welfare of our precious local Orca whales we may just have a chance to � nd out how “our” world works, and maybe we will be smart enough to keep it working.

In future editions of these Whale Pages, we will provide additional in-formation about our famous Orca whales.

The Center for Whale Research maintains a detailed photographic catalog of the Southern Resi-dent Killer whales that frequent these waters dating back to the early 1970’s. � e Center also

documents the whales’ social structure, regional travel pa� erns, and feeding and foraging strategies throughout coastal waters from British Columbia to California. For more information visit the cen-ter’s website at www.whaleresearch.com. – Ken Balcomb, Director of Center For Whale Research
