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

within 400 yards of a whale

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

about 200 meters).

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

protected areas and restrictions, and always be safe.

WHO do the new rules apply to? All motorized and non motorized vessels (including kayaks), with exceptions to

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

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

setting, retrieving, or closely tending fishing gear.WHAT do the new rules say? Except for specific exceptions,

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

United States to:

I. Cause a vessel to approach, in any manner within 200

yards (182.9 m) of any killer whale.

II. Position a vessel to be in the path of any killer whale at any point

located within 400 yards (365.8 m) of the whale.

WHEN do the new rules go into effect? May 16, 2011

WHERE do the new rules apply? In inland waters of Washington

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

of the U.S./Canada international boundary.

WHY did NOAA adopt new regulations? Southern Resident

killer whales were listed as endangered in 2005. Vessel

impacts were identified as one of the threats. These new

regulations implement an action in the recovery plan and are

designed to protect all killer whales by reducing impacts from

vessels. Additional background information on the rationale

and analyses to support the regulations are available at

www.nwr.noaa.gov. Visit www.bewhalewise.org to learn more, down-

The ballot bar code lawsuit, White v. Reed, is now eight years old and does not appear to be end-ing any time soon.

The lawsuit claims that bar codes on the ballot envelope and on the ballot itself violate the Washington law that states, “No paper ballot or ballot card may be marked in any way that would permit the identification of the person who voted that ballot.”

Multiple motions have been filed, briefed and argued, but the only clear result is that San Juan County is likely to save money by abandoning the Mail-in Ballot Tracking system previously used here.

County Auditor Milene Henley said that after Superior Court Judge Don Eaton decided that the tracking system violated a state law that requires any voting sys-tem to obtain federal certification, she decided not to appeal that decision, but instead to abandon the MIBT system, even though Henley insists that the MIBT sys-tem did not in any way compro-mise ballot secrecy.

Not using the MIBT system “would require more staff hours

In response to a recent Washington Court of Appeals ruling in a Pierce County case, San Juan County and the Town of Friday Harbor are in the process of amending their dangerous dog ordinances.

Both amendments are scheduled for initial consid-eration by the County Council and the Town Council at meetings on Tuesday, July 30, and Thursday, Aug. 1, respectively. Although the town may amend its dangerous dog ordinance immediately, both town and county are expected to pass the new ordinances in coming weeks.

The court case determined that fees charged for

“fact-finding hearings” on appeal, following a deter-mination by a local animal control officer that a dog should be classified as a “dangerous dog” or a “poten-tially dangerous dog, were unlawful.

And there’s more. In addition, both county and town ordinances

now set forth a “probable cause” standard for the dangerous dog determination; the new ordinances will change that standard to a “preponderance of the evidence” standard , which is now used for most civil court cases.

As of 2011, there were 19 potentially dangerous dogs in the county, according to the Sheriff ’s depart-ment statistics at the time, and of those, 10 were pitbulls.

The town, which previously had only public nui-sance rules to apply to incidents involving dog attacks, amended its rules two years ago to be consis-tent with the county’s laws on dangerous dogs.

Three San Juan Island kids have been walking 12 miles a day to clear San Juan County’s beaches, roads and parks of litter and noxious weeds.

The Ecology Youth Corps has been deployed on all four ferry-served islands for the past month. They concluded their work this week, and as one participant stated, “it’s not easy work but it’s been worth it in the end.”

The partnership between San Juan County Public Works and the Ecology Youth Corps is funded by the Ecology Community Litter Cleanup Program. The Ecology Youth Corps is Washington State's largest youth employment pro-gram. Participants earn minimum wage while gaining job skills, teamwork experience, and safety awareness.

The three teenagers hired this year from San Juan Island are Abbie Vogel, Christian De La Zerda, and Carter Feuhr.

EYC Supervisor Erik Moore said, “we have removed well over a ton of trash, nearly 1,000 pounds of recycling, pulled countless hundreds of noxious weeds, cleaned around 100 miles of roadways, and over 90 acres of beaches and parks.”

This year the crew expanded its work to include the removal of noxious weeds along county roads.

“Identifying and removing noxious weeds provides an opportunity for island youth to enlarge their understanding of the natural world, while helping out their island com-munity," Judy Jackson of the county Noxious Weed Board said. "The Noxious Weed Board is grateful to the Ecology Youth Corps for their help in removing tansy ragwort and common teasel from our roadsides.”

Moore noted that this summer’s program has been a great

success and that the island group is covering more miles than any other youth corps group in the state.

Sam Gibboney, county Solid Waste administrator, has hopes for future summer programs.

“The Youth Corps program is an excellent example of state, local and community collaboration,” she said. “It’s a win for all involved.”

The kids agree and hope the program is available for other youth next year. “I’ve learned a lot about plants and recycling and got a lot of exercise,” one of the crew said. “It’s been a good job.”

Big haul: more than a ton of trash, 1,000 lbs of recycling, mound of noxious weeds

Lopez voters will be asked to approve a .13 percent increase in the local proper-ty tax to partially fund oper-ations of the Lopez dump in 2014, a proposition that will be on the November, 2013, general election ballot.

The tax will raise a total of about $115,000, tak-ing the levy from 9.7 cents per $1,000 of valuation

to 11 cents per $1,000. Under the state constitu-tion, solid waste disposal districts (there are four in Washington, two of which are in San Juan County) must seek voter approval every year for tax levies.

Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District Board Member Sandy Bishop said the district will try to

change state law so annual levy propositions are not required. Bishop pointed out that the more success-ful the district is in reduc-ing waste and increasing recycling and reuse, the less money the district earns from handling trash, necessitating the small tax increase this year.

Disposal district seeks penny hike

Contract talks for Orcas dump revived By Steve WehrlyJournal reporter

After a few bumps in the road and some insistent communications to San Juan County Council members from Orcas Recycling Services supporters, the contract for operat-ing the Orcas Island transfer station will be discussed, but not voted on, at the County Council hearing on Monday, July 29.

Absent a last-minute glitch, the council will schedule a public hearing with public testimony in August, followed by a council vote authorizing that the contract be signed and operations at the site be turned over to ORS a few weeks later.

“I don’t believe there will be any impedi-ments to concluding the deal with ORS,” said Frank Mulcahy, director of the county Public Works department, which is the agency responsible for privatizing the coun-ty dump sites on Orcas and San Juan islands.

After a failed public vote on a proposed property tax parcel fee in 2011, the six-person council decided to get the county out of the garbage and recycling business. Citizens on Lopez Island formed a statutory

public waste disposal district in 2012 and are now operating the Lopez collection and recycling center, using funding provided by a property tax increase approved by Lopez voters. The county is now just concluding negotiations with Lautenbach Industries of Skagit County to operate the Friday Harbor-owned transfer station on Sutton Road on San Juan Island.

A contract for operation of the Orcas Island transfer site was the subject of a hard-fought competition between Orcas Recycling Services and Cimarron Trucking. ORS is the parent non-profit company of The Exchange, operator of the reuse and recycling center on Orcas that recently burned to the ground, but which is expected to be rebuilt and back in operation later this year or early next year.

Cimarron Trucking has been the des-ignated hauler of garbage and recycling from Orcas under contract with Waste Management. That contract was extended on a month-by-month basis until ORS takes over operations at the facility, expected by the end of September, according to Mulcahy.

landowners and 3,500 acres.Based upon a recent state Supreme Court ruling, Cary vs.

Mason County, local conservation districts must impose at least part of their property assessments on a “per acre” basis rather than “per parcel”.

The additional nickel will raise approximately $3,000 per year, most of which will go to the county for administration

fees rather than to the conservation district for land conser-vation programs.

The conservation district parcel fee raised about $73,000 in 2012, which represents about one-third of the district budget.

The other two-thirds comes from federal and state gov-ernment sources, although the recent sequester enacted by Congress may eliminate the federal contribution.

and more expense, so we decided to contract with K&H Printing in Everett to print, assemble and mail the ballots, which may very well save money for the county.”

But will abandoning the MIBT system ensure that voting secrecy will be main-tained?

“No,” according to lead plaintiff Tim White and his attorney, Seattle attorney Knoll Lowney. “Yes,” says Henley and her attorney, County Prosecutor Randy Gaylord, and Secretary of State Kim Wyman and her attorney, Assistant Attorney General Anne Egeler.

The case continues to crawl through the courts. Even though White and his co-plaintiffs won on the MIBT system issue, they are appealing the part of Judge Eaton’s decision requiring them to pres-

ent evidence at a trial that the “unique identifier” bar code on the ballot could be “linked” to a specific voter.

The county, and Elections Supervisor Doris Schaller, say, “There is no possible linkage between the bar codes on the ballot and the name of the voter who voted that ballot.”

Schaller explained that when the mailing enve-lope (which has the voter’s signature and a unique tracking bar code on it) is received, the election office verifies that the sig-nature matches the voter’s signature, then the mail-ing envelope and the inte-rior security envelope are opened by two people and separated before the ballot is removed from the secu-rity envelope. After the ballot is separated from the mailing envelope and then removed from the security envelope, the ballots are kept under lock and key and cannot be linked to the name of any voter.

The two different “unique numbers” are separately printed on the envelope and the ballot respectively by different computer programs, and the different numbers are never correlated by any person or computer. Absent a nefarious conspiracy by two ballot handlers and the Auditor’s professional staff at the time the ballots are opened, matching the voter name and the votes on the ballot simply cannot be accomplished, according to

Schaller.Tim White is not at all

deterred by the steep hill he must climb to remove bar codes from ballots. He said if the current lawsuit, which was originally filed in 2006 and may not be resolved for some months, is not decided in favor of the plaintiffs, he and oth-ers are prepared to continue to seek legislative action in the county council, in the state legislature, or by ini-tiative to get the bar codes removed.

! WARNING

San Juan Island Fire Rescue on Saturday dispatched three firefighters and two vehicles to Central Washington to assist at a fire located near Wenatchee.

The “Colockum Park” fire, in Chelan County was first discovered early Saturday and is reported to have grown to an area covering more than 1.5 square miles.

San Juan Island Lieutenant Tad Lean will be working as a “Strike Team Leader” trainee. Strike Team Leaders are responsible for numerous fire-fighters and fire engines while working on the fire lines.

Firefighters Michael Henderson and Joseph Foriska will be operating a “brush truck”, which is a pickup-sized fire engine designed for battling wildland fires.

As a side note, Washington State Ferry System agreed to delay the sail-ing of the ferry Kaleetan for five minutes so that the emergency responders would not be delayed for several hours.

San Juan Island Fire Rescue participates in the statewide Fire Mobilization System, coordinated by the State Fire Marshal. The system reimburses participating agencies for their costs. The firefighters that participate gain valuable experience that they bring back and share with the rest of the crew. In addition, should a major fire threaten San Juan County, the State Mobilization System will be available to send assistance.

Staffed predominantly by volunteers, San Juan Island Fire Rescue oper-ates seven fire stations, numerous fire engines and other vehicles, as well as

the region’s only fire boat. In 2012, the fire department responded to 241 calls for service.

Ranker elected president of regional group

State Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, was elect-ed president of the Pacific Northwest Economic Region at the organiza-tion’s July 24 Annual Summit in Anchorage, A l a s k a . Ranker has served as the organi-zation’s vice pres ident the last two years.

Formed in 1991, PNWER is a non-partisan, public-private partnership that includes Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon and the Northwest Territories in Canada; and Alaska, Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Montana in the United States. It works to increase the eco-nomic well-being, coordi-nate energy, economic and environmental strategies and enhance competitive-ness of the region. The part-nership represents a com-bined GDP of $1 trillion.

The PNWER president heads the executive com-mittee and represents the organization in visits to both nation’s capitals, as well as state and provincial meetings throughout the region.

County offers free wetland service, review

San Juan County is offer-ing a new wetland assess-

ment service that will be available to property owners free of charge.

The service consists of a one-hour site visit by a qualified wetlands profes-sional, determination of whether a wetland exists in a location of concern, and, if so, identification of the wetland type under the county’s new critical areas rules. As part of the assess-ment, a property owner will receive a summary of find-ings and generalized map of the evaluated area.

If it is determined that a wetland does not exist, the county wetland map will be modified to reflect that information.

Assessment applications are available online at the county website or at the Community Development and Planning Department, 135 Rhone Street in Friday Harbor, 378-2354. Applications can be mailed upon request.

Lytton named to state education oversight panel

State Rep. Kristine Lytton has been named to a bipar-tisan committee that will monitor how a new law designed to help persis-tently failing public schools improve goes into effect.

Drafted in large part by Lytton, D-Anacortes, Senate bill 5329, approved in this year’s legislative session, directs the Office of the Superintendent of Public Schools to develop crite-ria for determining which schools fall into the lowest-performing category and to create solid guidelines to help them improve.

The Education Accountability Oversight C om m it te e will be orga-nized some-time in the fall. The c o m m i t t e e will oversee implementa-tion of the law, which is intended to help failing schools improve their per-

formance through support, guidance and, if necessary, direct intervention by OSPI.

“Every school, including those that are persistently performing below our expectations, contains good teachers, capable adminis-trators and children who can excel,” said Lytton, who help craft the new law. “We have to find the key, or keys, that will help them be the best they can, and we can’t

afford to wait.”The legislature will pro-

vide funds to help those schools – if in fact fund-ing is determined to be a problem – and they’ll have three years to make marked improvement. If they haven’t made signifi-cant, measurable progress during that time, OSPI will have the authority to inter-vene with more structured guidance.

Puzzled by pick of photos of the past

I always turn to the obitu-aries first. What can I say, I’m 84.

I have a question which turns out to be a comment on my disappointment at seeing the picture of some-one who has died, possibly a friend — why do people put in a photo of the person at a very young age, someone who was born in, say, 1920 when the current year is 2013?

No one alive will be able to recognize the person. I hope someone responds to my question.

Hats off to parade ‘No coal’ brigade

To the 85 people who marched with us in the parade on July 4th to raise public awareness regard-ing safe shipping in the San Juan Islands, we say “Thank You!”

The much larger than expected turnout of con-cerned citizens — together with a coal ship, ferry boat, oil spill, informative signs, and singing children — had such an effect, that the judg-es deemed us “Spectacular”.

To the 15 people who vol-unteered for the construc-tion and transportation of the 32-foot cardboard coal ship, “Accident Prone”, and the to-scale Washington State ferry, we also extend many thanks.

Together we truly can

stop the permitting and construction of the Cherry Point coal export termi-nal near Bellingham. This terminal would allow gar-gantuan capesize-vessels to traverse through Haro and Rosario Straits, exponen-tially increasing the risk of an oil spill in our surround-ing waters and threatening the very ecosystem that drives our county’s econ-omy.

For anyone who wants more information on this subject, look for our ship at the San Juan County Fair.

Salute for support of Pig War Picnic

The Kiwanis of Friday Harbor wishes to thank all of the people and businesses that donated so generously of their time, talent and resources to make the 4th of July Pig War Picnic a big success again this year.

We could not have done so well without our sponsors: Islander’s Bank, Browne’s Home Center, Whidbey Island Bank, Chicago Title, Ace Hardware, Stephanie Johnson O’Day, IPS, Law Office of Skinner & Saar, Farmer’s Insurance, Sound Financial, Luxel Corporation, Lawson Construction, Printonyx.

A big thanks to our enter-tainers as well: The Tease, One More Time Band, Mike Vouri, and the Rythmatics.

We served more than 1,300 meals on the 4th and couldn’t have done it with-out the wives, husbands, friends and family members that stepped in to help us.

Last but certainly not least, are the Boy Scouts,

who were real troopers, no pun intended.

We are happy and proud that almost all of the money we made will go directly back into our community in the form of college scholar-ships, support for Hospice, Head Start, Family Resource Center and the Red Cross, donations to community projects as requested by high school students, and various other programs that benefit our community and our children, in particular, in a multitude of ways.

Again, a heartfelt thanks to all.

Help for a friend in a time of need

Many of you know that our beloved CPA, commu-nity volunteer and wonder-ful friend has recently been diagnosed with cancer.

A fund to assist Cathaleen Cavanagh with her “out of pocket” Medical expenses for cancer treatments has been set up at Islanders Bank at 225 Blair, Friday Harbor or the Orcas branch, 475 Fern Street, Eastsound.

Checks should be made out to the “Cathaleen T. Cavanagh Cancer Fund”. The proceeds from this fund will be used only for the direct medical expenses not covered by insurance.

Any donations that exceed Cathy’s out-of-pock-et expenses will be gifted to Peace Island Volunteers to help them continue their mission in assisting our local Peace Island Medical Center patients with their clinic and other medical needs.

The family and many friends of Cathy sincerely appreciate your concerns, good wishes and financial assistance.

In particular, we would like to thank the book trans-porters, Boyd Pratt, Mike and Rosa, John Chessall, Jack Gibson and Larry Tochluk. Your trucks and efficient loading brought all those boxes from storage to the high school gym in record time.

Also, thanks to the set up assistance from the Friday Walkers, who for many years have made set up their

community service activity. We were also aided by the

hard work of Tillie Sherman, Pati Otley, Bethery von Dassow, Louise Lelevich, Elizabeth Forlenza, Melina Lagios, Barry Jacobson, Norma Mason, Jennie Atkinson, Gary Sharp, the Pieples family, the Wall fam-ily, Andy and Linnea’s com-munity service workers, and Copper from Consignment Treasures.

If any names were left out it was due to our forgetful-ness but we are nonetheless grateful for your support.

We are fortunate to live in a community with so many people willing to pitch in on this event to help support our fine library’s programs. Thank you all.

By Howard Schonberger

I find it gratifying to think how the San Juan Islands have managed to get things done during my 35-plus years as resident and worker.

A lot of the gains we’ve made have been due to the far-sighted generosity of people like Paul and Lu Whittier, who matched funds raised by citizens seeking to have bet-ter facilities than the Royal Movie the-atre for live stage productions… like Island Artisans and Sunshine Gallery who provide art tuition for high school graduates heading for art careers… like the San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild and the Grange who worked as a team for a while, and even after a split, were able to get the Brickworks project going… and finally, the San Juan Island Community Foundation, against some opposition, with Charles Anderson and team in the lead, were able to pro-vide us with the country’s second-most energy efficient hospital here on this island.

It’s too bad that some folks get too vicious in their disputes. Maybe they learn it from watching debates in Washington, D.C. on television.

I dunno. But I do care, if something needed is stalled or junked, and obvious needs are ignored.

As a Lions Club member for over 50 years, 17 in Palo Alto and 35 on San Juan Island, I’ve never seen legalistic logistics make anything proceed any slower than the Carter Avenue Ballfields and Community Park. One of the greatest obstacles to those fields and park being finished and ready for play is its conditional-use permit (CUP).

Fellow Lion Brian Brown had a cup of coffee with me the other day and brought me a letter. He has never given me a bum steer and I back his words 100 percent. Here it is:

Update on Carter Avenue Ballfields and Community ParkThe football/soccer field is complete with goal post fund-

ing promised when the conditional-use permit is issued by

the Town of Friday Harbor. The Club House bathrooms need the plumbing fixtures set and counters are needed for the kitchen. One of the baseball fields has some grad-ing done and awaits completion. Both wells are providing adequate water to irrigate the fields.

With this said, there are many things left to do and they cost money. To enable the Town of Friday Harbor to issue the CUP the following items need to be completed:

n The restroom facility (Club House) must be completed and a certificate of occupancy issued by the Town of Friday Harbor. Plumbing fixtures and counters: estimated cost, $2,500.

n The completion of sidewalks from Guard Street to Larson Street: estimated cost for sidewalks, $80,966. The town approved crosswalk, $30,000. The sidewalks will require a public hearing in front of the town council.

n Completion of the water rights for the wells on the property for irrigation of the fields. We are currently in the process of finishing the paperwork with no problems anticipated.

n Maintenance and operating agreements have been drafted and will be presented to the town as per the CUP requirements.

n Completion of 1,000 feet of fencing and gates as per locations designated in the CUP. Some materials are on site: estimated cost, $5,500.

n Storm water detention ponds need cleaning and repair: estimated cost, $5,000.

n Ten percent contingency, $12,400.Our best estimate to acquire the Town of Friday Harbor

mandated CUP is $136,366. This would open access to the existing fields completed, but would not provide any fund-ing to complete additional fields.

It’s hard to believe but over $1.7 million in cash, labor, material and equipment has been spent to bring the project to where it is today. Our kids are in need of this facility. Let’s get in done.

— Brian Brown, grandfather

Thanks Brian, we’ve got 20 grandkids, too. “We Serve” is the motto of the Lions Club. The other clubs Rotary, Kiwanis and the like have similar creeds, including the Grange. We hope their efforts aren’t held up by too much red tape by those who get paid to serve.

Guest Column

Insider’s view: San Juan County Council in the spotlightBy Ingrid Gabriel, Clerk to the Council

While the feedback to the first Corner has been largely enthu-siastic, a few readers have asked,

“Is this necessary? What’s the point?” Good question.

I think the work of the Council is some-what analogous to a duckling on the pond – what appears on the surface to observers is only part of the story. Those little webbed feet are paddling furiously underneath and propel the duckling forward. Likewise, the public has access to council meetings (either in person or via live-streaming), and the meeting minutes relay the council’s formal actions. But there’s a lot of action going on outside of the hearing room that’s worth noting.

For example, the council spent two full mornings in EDEN training with the audi-tor. EDEN is the software that provides the spine and nervous system for county accounting. It’s considered a good product, but not especially user-friendly. However, the council wants to have a better under-standing of how to access financial reports themselves and not take up staff time with requests.

Also, the council and county manager are holding a series of orientation meet-ings with various departments and touring facilities. About 20 hours of these meetings are scheduled for July and more in August

extending to Lopez, Orcas and Shaw. Rick

Hughes attended the Salmon Recovery Council meeting in Edmonds. Bob Jarman made a site visit to the Mount Baker road construction project, the Lambiel property, the Deer Harbor Bridge project and Orcas Artworks in Olga to see the fire damage. Bob also met with a local attorney to better understand the process for obtaining shore-line permits from an applicant’s perspective.

These are just a few examples of below-the-surface activity, but, hopefully, readers will find value in the information.

So, updates and highlights from the Corner…

On Monday, July 15, the council met with county staff and county manager Mike Thomas. Director of Health and Community Services John Manning and Parks & Fair Director Dona Wuthnow updated the council on the 2014 Capital Improvement Projects (dedicated funds used for maintaining, improving or build-ing County facilities). After discussion, the council approved an amendment to the CIP budget, adding $4,000 to fund a feasibility study regarding the suitability of the Post San Juan building to be re-purposed as a Parks & Fair administrative building.

The fee for every document recorded at the auditor’s office includes a one dollar charge dedicated to historic preservation projects in the county. The council awards the grants to qualified applicants each year.

This year, the recipients of a total of $6,055 were the Friends of Woodmen Hall, the San Juan Historical Society & Museum, the Orcas Island Historical Society & Museum and the Lopez Island Historical Society.

The county charter changes that went into effect after the November 2012 election affected the make-up of several advisory committees. The council moved to direct Prosecuting Attorney Randall Gaylord to update ordinances applicable to the Planning Commission, the Citizens Salary Committee, the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee, the Stormwater Committee, the Solid Waste Advisory Committee and the Human Services Advisory Board.

At its following meeting on Tuesday, July 16, the council moved to award lodging tax funds for 2014. The Council accepted the recommendations submitted by the LTAC funding committee.

A proposed ordinance setting fees for services provided by the Community Development and Planning Department was also discussed and is moving forward. Rick moved that the document will include

Richard Norris passed away peacefully at home on the morning of July 17, in the presence of his wife Fiona and daughter Laura. He was preceded in death by his younger son Jack.

Richard, youngest child of Ernest and Freda Norris, was raised at Haller Lake, near Seattle, where his love of nature was nurtured by his adventures in and around the lake and his introduction to horticulture by his father. Richard attended Roosevelt High and earned a Bachelor’s degree in botany at the University of Washington.

But for the encouragement of Professor Weston Blaser, Richard might have pursued a career in horticulture; how-ever, a summer course taught by Professor Blaser at Friday Harbor Labs in 1947 diverted his attention to the study of algae. Horticulture remained a lifelong hobby.

Richard received his Master’s degree at the University of California, Davis, and his doctoral degree at the University of California, Berkeley, conducting research on a complex group of red algae. On graduation, Richard and his wife Louisa remained in Berkeley at the U.C. Radiation Lab, where they assisted the future Nobel Prize-winning scientist Melvin Calvin in his experiments on photosynthesis.

Their sons Rick and Jack were born in California, daugh-ter Laura in Minneapolis, where Richard joined the faculty

of University of Minnesota. Travel was a feature of the early years of his career. His

young family enjoyed his professional journeys to New Zealand and India.

In 1961, he joined the Smithsonian Institution and represented them on two International Indian Ocean Expeditions. While in Bombay after the second of the expeditions, he was offered a post in the Botany Department, University of Washington and the family moved to Seattle and Friday Harbor.

After the dissolution of his marriage, Richard took a sab-batical first to Scandinavia then to Johannesburg South Africa, where he met Fiona Getliffe, faculty member in the Botany Department of the University of Witwatersrand.

In 1977, they were married and he brought his bride home to Friday Harbor.

Richard left the University of Washington in 1980 and returned to South Africa for 11 years during which he continued his algal research, while Fiona resumed her teaching career. Both had positions at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, then University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, and finally at Kirstenbosch, Cape Town, headquarters of the National Botanical Gardens.

In 1989, Richard received an invitation to join an old friend, Isabella Abbott, University of Hawaii, in research on local seaweeds. Fiona found employment as curator of the Herbarium at the Bishop Museum, Honolulu.

At the end of his contract, they moved to Fort Worth, Texas where Fiona was appointed curator of the Herbarium at The Botanical Research Institute of Texas.

Richard’s horticultural hobby became a part-time job at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, where he enjoyed their

Japanese Garden — the best in the country, in his opinion. It was during that time he became a Master Gardener, but on retirement to Friday Harbor, he repeated the course more suited to local conditions, so Fiona joined him.

A hallmark of Richard’s career is his fascination with all types of algae and collaboration with colleagues from all over the world. In 1984, he and U.K. colleague David Hibberd identified and established a new Division (Phylum) of organisms that Richard had collected and cultured from the Gulf of California. In recognition of his contribution to the field of phycology, colleagues have bestowed the honor of naming genera and species of algae for him.

Colleague Mike Wynne, University of Michigan, has written this about Richard’s career: “His papers cover the ‘water-front’: systematics, morphology, ecology, ultrastruc-ture, and culturing and life-history studies. In the current age of specialization, it is rare that a researcher carries on such a broad perspective on the algae, and Rich Norris is such a rare individual.”

Details of his varied career are chronicled by Mike in the following article, page 14, “Phycological Trailblazer”: http://www.psaalgae.org/docs/newsletters/vol48_no1_2012.pdf.

Richard Norris leaves behind a legacy of scholarship in his published papers and his contributions to UW Friday Harbor Labs, such as the Zoo/Bot course he and friend and colleague Eugene Kozloff introduced in 1973. He is missed by his graduate students and colleagues scattered all over the world who recall his mentorship, sense of humor, and his hats!

He also leaves a legacy in horticulture in the lovely gar-dens he created wherever he settled for more than a few weeks. He will be greatly missed by the gardening commu-nity in the islands for his guidance during Master Gardener training, and his painstaking care with plant identification.

He is mourned by his wife, Fiona, son Rick and part-ner Wendy Dernbach, his daughter-in-law Teri Wingate, his daughter Laura, son-in-law Ken Crawbuck, and his grandchildren, Michael Norris, Claire and Graham Crawbuck. He will be remembered fondly by his extensive South African family, Fiona’s three sisters and their husbands, and their children, who loved their Uncle Richard.

A celebration of his life

will be held in The Commons, Friday Harbor Labs, at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 11.

In lieu of flowers his family suggests donations in his memory be made to the Marine Science Fund or E.S Morse Institute, both at UW Friday Harbor Labs.

Sure it’s summer break, but on the golf course Friday Harbor’s Kendra is still at the top of her game.

The soon-to-be high school senior earned a berth in the Washington Juniors Golf Association state tournament by fin-ishing second, one stroke off the lead, last week at the WJGA District 1 Championship, at Peninsula Golf Course, in Port Angeles. Meeker, a back-to-back state tournament qualifier for the Friday Harbor High School golf team, shot 85 on the first day of the two-day district champi-onship and 83 the follow-ing day for a 168 two-day total.

Meeker, 16, is among 21 girls from across the state that qualified to compete at the WJGA state tournament, July 31, and Aug. 1-2, in Dupont. Meeker, known for hit-ting some of the longest tee-shots of any girl in the competition, 250 yards or more, will be compet-ing in WJGA’s 16 and 17-year-old division at the state tournament.

See CaLeNDaR, Page 12

By Scott RasmussenJournal editor

It takes a particular kind of person to notice that the hairstyle of Nicole Kidman’s character, Ada, in the movie “Cold Mountain”, is not always quite right.

And not just a person with a keen eye for the evolution of women’s hair-styles, but one who knows her history, too.

That profile fits Karen Haas to a tee. “Great movie, bad hair,” Haas said of the civil-war era film. “(Her hair)

should have been up.” An attention to historical accuracy is much more than just a passing

fancy for Haas. It’s a way of life. For the past 20 years the former music teacher turned storyteller has

toured the Pacific Northwest, as well as other parts of the country, as the star of a one-woman “living history’ program, in which she embodies, portrays and brings to life the unique experience and insights of no less than 15 different characters, several of whom, such as Narcissa Whitman, Abby Williams Hill and Thea Foss (yes, matriarch of the Foss Maritime empire) left an indelible mark on history and the landscape.

Oh yeah, she’s also honed about a dozen different accents to give each character, and an audience, even that much more of an authentic touch. It requires a good deal of homework, said Haas, who pores over diaries, letters and history books to zero in on the essence of each character.

“I read as much as I can so I can get into their head,” she said. “If I’m going to portray these women, I think I owe it to them. Then I have to figure out the ‘voice’.”

Come Saturday, Haas will give voice to six different female personas and one “composite” character as part of a living history presentation at San Juan Island Library entitled, “I’m Always on the Women’s Side -- Vignettes of the Civil War.” The title comes from the words of Mary Boykin Chesnut, whose diary entries and letters were heavily featured in the ground-breaking and award-winning documentary about the civil war by Ken Burns.

The presentation is part of San Juan Island National Historical Park’s ongoing summer program, “Connections: The Far West and Civil War”, which explores relationships between the American Civil War, the San Juan Islands and the Pacific Northwest. Thanks to a grant from the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, the presentation is free. It begins at 7 p.m.

Born and raised in Chicago, Haas, 55, said that she’s always been fond of history and, perhaps equally important, had a love for storytelling as well, thanks in large part to her father.

“It’s always been part of me,” she said. “My dad told these ‘Shaggy Dog’ stories that could stretch out for over two or three days.”

She graduated from Drake University with a degree in music education, gravitated out west, and now lives in Tacoma with her husband, Patrick. Having participated in 14 of the 15 annual Encampments at English Camp, the couple are at home on San Juan Island. In fact, the two were named “Park Volunteers of the Year” by San Juan Island National Historical Park in 2012.

In times of war, history books often focus on battles, combatants and the outcome of military campaigns. The effect that war may have on a city, a community or on the home front, and on women who are left behind to fend for themselves, can be overlooked. Through her living history programs, Haas strives to ensure that women’s voices, and their stories, such as those of Chestnut, Kate Cummings and Cornelia Peake McDonald, are heard.

“We’re all a product of our past,” she said. “If we don’t understand the past, how can we know who we are.”

Former Journal columnist Jill Urbach’s debut novel, a romantic comedy entitled “Two-Room Flat”, has been published by Astraea Press. A final-ist in the Pacific Northwest Writers Association Literary Contest, Two-Room Flat traces the tra- vails and successes of a widowed author who flees to London to restart her career.

Urbach, perhaps best known as a gifted singer (One More Time Band) and actress (playing the part of Maria in the Community Theatre’s recent production of “The Sound of Music”) said her stint as a columnist had a direct influence on bringing her story to the page.

“My main character, Claire, writes a blog that is interspersed among the chapters,” she said. “I had such fun writing my humor column for the Journal that I used the same tone for Claire’s blog. My pub-lisher loved the concept.”

Available as an eBook from astraeapress.com and amazon.com, Two-Room Flat is expected to be published in traditional paperback form in the com-ing months. For more information about the novel and Urbach’s future books, visit, www.jillurbach.com, or follow her on Facebook or Twitter.

So, who’s up next in this year’s summer lecture series at The Whale Museum?

That would be Dr. Daniel G o n z a l e z - S o c o l o l s k e , assistant biology profes-sor at Andrews University, and Mexico’s endangered Antillean manatee.

Gonzalez-Socololske, a Duke University gradu-ate with a Ph.D in ecol-ogy, posed questions such as those that follow as part of his doctoral work on the feeding habitats and

adaptive behavior of the Mexican manatee, which, like all manatees, are able to live both in freshwater and saltwater habitat, and in the case of the Antillean mana-tee of southern Mexico, live in seasonally flooded fresh-water rivers and lakes:

Do manatees have food year round? What are the implications if they don’t? And, what do manatees eat in these seasonally flooded wetlands and how is that influenced by changes in

water levels? Gonzalez-Socololske,

also an associate editor of the Latin American Journal of Aquatic Mammals, will offer a summary of his research Wednesday, July 31, in a lecture enti-tled, “Hunger in Paradise? Seasonal Variation in Food Availability to Manatees in a Flooding Wetland”, start-ing at 7 p.m., at the Whale Museum.

For more info, Whale Museum, 378-4710, ext. 23.

In addition to a yearly summer lecture series and exhibits, the Whale Museum pursues its mission of promoting stewardship of whales and the Salish Sea ecosystem through research and education, and by sponsoring programs such as marine naturalist train-ings, the Orca Adoption Program, Soundwatch Boater Education, the marine mammal strand-ing network and the Whale Hotline.

Calendar casting call — for pets

Every dog has its day. But your’s could have its own month. Same goes for your parakeet, iguana or cat, too.

Friday Harbor Animal Protection Society is seek-ing photos of island pets for a “San Juan Island Pets” 2014 calendar, the first step of a prospective fundraiser to benefit the animal shelter.

Photos will be judged in part on “island flair” and what they say about island-life for pets. Consider holi-day photos and those that reflect a certain season of the year.

Each suitable photo sub-mitted not chosen to repre-sent a month of the year will be included on a separate page at the back of the cal-endar — so every pet is a winner.

Entry forms and digital images can be submitted online, www.apsfh.org, or in person at the animal shelter, noon to 4 p.m., Tues-Sun, 111 Shelter Rd. Fee is $10 per entry, to offset printing costs. Each image submitted must be accompanied by its own entry form. Deadline for submissions is Aug. 19.

Two more ‘Pod Nods’ in store

If you missed the first, don’t fret. There are two more Pod Nods yet to come.

The popular “pajama party” Pod Nod sleepover at The Whale Museum for children ages 6 to 10 is Aug. 16, and new this summer is an advanced Pod Nod, ages 8 to 12, on Aug. 10.

Pod Nods are led by museum educators with assistance from other adults. Participants learn to value whales and their environ-ment through art projects, science labs, music, games, and the traditional flash-light tour of the exhibit hall.

Advanced Pod Nodders will learn what lives ‘Under the Salish Sea’, and take part in a ‘pier peer’, a search for marine animals after dark at the marina using an under-water light.

The theme for Aug. 16 is ‘All About Orcas’.

Pod Nods begin at 6:30 p.m., with pick-up the next morning at 8:30 a.m.; bedtime snack, breakfast included. Cost is $39 for children/grandchildren of museum members; $49 non-members. Scholarships are available on an as-need-ed basis.

Call The Whale Museum, (360) 378-4710 ext. 23, or email [email protected] for more infor-mation. Register online at, www.whalemuseum.org. Pre-registration required.

ANSWERS TO PUZZLES Classics converge at ‘Concours’

Contributed photo / SJI Sports Car ClubAbove; 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II, winner of the 2012 Concours d’Elegance category of ‘Best in Show’.

Classic car enthusiasts… it’s time to get your motor running, and make plans to head out to the winery.

The 7th annual Concours d’Elegance is Sunday, Aug. 25, on the grounds of San Juan Island Vineyards. Presented by The Sports Car Club of the San Juan Islands, in conjunction with the Rotary Club, Concours d’Elegance is a celebration of the wonders of the automobile and the open road, and a charitable event all in one.

Beneficiaries of this year’s event are Fish for Teeth, the Family Umbrella Group and Rotary International’s Polio Eradication Project. Last year’s event proved to be a record-setter, with 93 cars entered and more than $8,500 in proceeds raised… that’s $2,500 more than the year before.

While owners of any interesting car or motor-cycle are encouraged to enter, the featured mar-quee for the 2013 show will be Ford performance

cars, in recogni-

tion of the 50th anniversary of the Ford GT40. Enter online at www.san-juanconcours.org; entry forms are also available at Chamber of Commerce office on Spring Street. Entry forms should be submitted by Aug. 13.

For those coming from off-island, the “trav-el info”, including ferry schedules and lodging information, is provided at the Sports Car Club’s

website as well. San Juan Island’s very own Argyle Street Jazz Band will perform during lunch.

For more info about Concours d’Elegance, visit Sports Car Club website, or contact 2013 Concours Chairman Chris Curtin, 360-370-5531.

1. The ONE place not to be is in the path of whales. Don’t position your vessel in the path of oncoming whales within 400 yards of a whale

2. Stay at least TWO hundred yards away from any killer whale (200 yards = the distance of two football fields or about 200 meters).

3. Remember these THREE ways to Be Whale Wise: follow the guidlines for viewing all wildlifte, check for local protected areas and restrictions, and always be safe.WHO do the new rules apply to? All motorized and non motorized vessels (including kayaks), with exceptions to maintain safe navigation and for certain types of vessels in the course of official duties, ships in the shipping lanes, research vessels under permit, and vessels lawfully engaged in commercial or treaty Indian fishing that are actively setting, retrieving, or closely tending fishing gear.

WHAT do the new rules say? Except for specific exceptions, it is unlawful for any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to:I. Cause a vessel to approach, in any manner within 200 yards (182.9 m) of any killer whale.II. Position a vessel to be in the path of any killer whale at any point located within 400 yards (365.8 m) of the whale.

WHEN do the new rules go into effect? May 16, 2011WHERE do the new rules apply? In inland waters of Washington State- east of the entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca and south of the U.S./Canada international boundary.

WHY did NOAA adopt new regulations? Southern Resident killer whales were listed as endangered in 2005. Vessel impacts were identified as one of the threats. These new regulations implement an action in the recovery plan and are designed to protect all killer whales by reducing impacts from vessels. Additional background information on the rationale and analyses to support the regulations are available atwww.nwr.noaa.gov. Visit www.bewhalewise.org to learn more, down-load the laws, regulations, and guidelines, and to report violations

Enforcement:1-800-853-1964

or online atwww.bewhalewise.org

In 2011, NOAA Fisheries Service adopted new regulations under the MarineMammal Protection Act and Endangered Species Act to protect all killer whales.
