Ranker backs equal unions Ferry upgrade and expansion SJ senator supports Gov.’s legislation San Juan Journal staff report
Gov. Christine Gregoire will have support in the San Juans for her bid to put gay marriage on the books in the 2012 legislative session. State Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, last week endorsed the governor’s proposed legislation, which, if approved, would make Washington state the seventh in the nation to allow same-sex marriages. Gay couples can legally wed in Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont, and in the District of Columbia. As of today, Washington state recognizes “domestic partnerships, and a law passed by the Legislature in 2006 prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation in employment, housing, insurance and lending. “Marriage is more than just a collection of rights and protections — it is the commitment between two people who love each other and

Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island have pledged to support one another in life,� Ranker said in a prepared statement. “By continuing to differentiate between types of loving relationships, we separate and isolate those within our communities. We must recognize that separate can never be equal and a domestic partnership can never be a marriage.� Ranker, who grew up with

a gay father, said he was taught as a youth that family is not determined by gender, but rather by love and commitment. He said it will take time, education and sacrifice to conquer discrimination, but that tolerance and equality will always prevail. In 2009, Referendum 71 appeared on the Nov. 3, ballot in Washington and was upheld by voters, thus granting state registered domestic partners in Washington all rights, responsibilities, and obligations granted by or imposed by state law on married couples. It was approved by voters in San Juan County by 70.98 percent, which could indicate more island voters on Ranker’s side. “This year, we have a chance to do something wonderful for thousands of Washingtonians,� said Ranker. “This year we have the opportunity to stand up for equality for all.�

Be informed On Jan. 21, the nation marks the second anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission, a decision that enabled corporations and unions to spend unlimited amounts of money to influence federal and state elections. As the 2012 election season ramps up, so will the corporate, union and special interest financing of political advertising. With the proliferation of SuperPACS and 501(c) organizations, major donors funding election advertising remain unidentified to the voters. Be an informed voter. First, ask every candidate at every level of government for his or her position on campaign finance reform.
Second, visit http://www. opensecrets.org for reliable information for following the money in races in your district and around the country. And finally, question every political advertisement you see or hear. Ask yourself who paid for that ad and why. Does the ad state clearly who paid for it? If the sponsor is a group or organization, can you go to its website and see who is a member and who contributes? If not, ask yourself why not? Help make democracy work – cast an informed vote!

NATURAL HISTORY by Russel Barsh and Madrona Murphy Silvery gold: our lost herring Once upon a time, the islands’ shallow bays teemed with spawning herring in late winter and spring. Herring were abundant enough to be “raked� out of the water. Their crunchy eggs, covering seaweeds and eel grass, were even more prized than their freshly grilled, salted or pickled oily flesh. People were not alone in their taste for island herring. Seabirds timed migration and nesting to coincide with the massive spring herring spawn. Richer in oil and calories than smelt or sandlance, young herring two to three inches long were ideal for nestlings. After seabirds ate their fill in April and May, juvenile Chinook and Coho salmon arrived from rivers and deltas on the mainland, and feasted on the remaining young herring from June to August. Herring were an attraction for seals and porpoises as well. Commercial exploitation of island herring increased dramatically after the Second World War, intensifying in the 1960s when Puget Sound salmon harvests were already in decline. The herring fleet converged on spawning aggregations, seining the concentrated

The largest concentration ring eggs, of foraging Marbled covering seaweeds and Murrelets in the Sound eel grass, were is on the south end of Lopez. Over the past even more 30 years, these birds prized than have had to switch from their freshly grilled, salted herring to sandlance as or pickled oily their main diet, which many biologists believe flesh. is a significant factor in their decline. We were heartened to see a large spawnout of herring in East Sound last April. It may be a sign that herring are recovering.

mass of adults and damaging the vegetation and eggs. By the 1980s, herring spawning in the islands had fallen sharply and become sporadic, scattered and unpredictable. Despite restrictions on fishing, island herring have been slow to recover. The largest remaining herring population in the North Sound, centered at Cherry Point on the mainland, spawns later than island herring. By the time Cherry Point herring reach the islands in their seaward annual migration, they are too late for nesting seabirds, and a bit large for the juvenile salmon that remain in the
islands through late summer and early fall. Our research shows that juvenile Chinook eat much better (more total biomass and more calories) in years when there is more island herring spawning, such as 2011. One of the major losers has been the Federally-listed Marbled Murrelet. These
Silence? Never golden in helping to prevent abuse Let’s make 2012 the year we join together and shatter the silence By Kim Bryan
In the month of December DVSAS and the local Sheriff’s office hosted community discussion forums on each Island with the challenging topic of child sexual abuse. The attendance at each meeting was small‌ “I am not surprised your turnout was small, you have to understand that we just don’t talk about that kind of stuff here on our islandsâ€?‌ (On average only about 10% of sexual abuse victims ever report the crime)‌ “Really, cut us some slack, we just don’t have that issue here, so why should we spend time talking about it?â€?‌ (1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused by the time they reach their 18th birthday)‌ “Well OK, we might have some sexual abuse here but it is not as bad as the big cities where they have all those crimes by strangersâ€?, (Over 90% of child sexual abuse victims know and trust their abuser)‌ What might be dangerous about this kind of thinking? Could having this sense of safety without all of the facts lull us into a place of complacency or inaction? Could this be allowing our children to live with burning secrets that they don’t have the voice to share and ask for the help they so desperately
need? Could we have adults living among us who have had to live with that burning secret for years because we like to believe the lie that this kind of stuff doesn’t happen here? We all know that any change in a community takes time and starts small. With this in mind the groups of interested community members that met on each island have determined to persevere and invite their Kim Bryan fellow community members to join them and DVSAS in the fight to protect our children from sexual abuse. Won’t you join us in making a difference in the lives of our children on these beautiful shores? “What,� you might ask, “can I do to make a difference in such a huge and ugly problem?� Whether you have children or not you can take an active role in protecting the innocent among us. Ask the organizations in your area that work with children about their policies regarding child sexual abuse, adult/child contact, reporting procedures etc. Invite a DVSAS Advocate to speak at your club, or civic organizations, workplace, place of worship, schools, preschools and daycare centers.

Music from the ‘Sun King’ Louis XIV’s court By Cali Bagby
From bottom to top and left to right, Jeffrey Cohan on the baroque transverse flute, a photo of Louis XIV, known as the ‘Sun King,’ John Lenti on the baroque guitar and Joanna Blendulf on the viol or “viola da gamba� and the smallest size of viola da gamba, the ‘pardessus de viole.’ Hear these musicians Jan. 21, 7 p.m. at Grace Church on Lopez.
In the mid-1600s Pignon Descoteaux and Philibert Rebille, made the three- piece baroque form of the horizontally held or “transverse� flute fashionable in the court of the French “Sun King� Louis XIV. Around 1667, they were joined by a viola player and baroque guitarist. The foursome was called “Musique de la Chambre.� Now Joanna Blendulf on the viol or “viola da gamba� and the smallest size of viola da gamba, the “pardessus de viole,� John Lenti on the baroque guitar and Jeffrey Cohan on the baroque transverse flute, will bring this timeless music to life on San Juan, Orcas and Lopez to kick off the second annual 2012 Salish Sea Early Music Festival. The five programs of early chamber music on period instruments will run throughout May. The first performances entitled “The Sun King’s Music� are Jan. 21, 7 p.m. on Lopez at Grace Church and Jan. 22 on Orcas at 1:30 p.m. at the Rosario music room and 7 p.m. on San Juan at St.

‘Barefoot’ stumbles into the SJ record books Sentence includes largest property-crime restitution ever By Scott Rasmussen Editor of the Journal of the San Juans
Grouped together, his exploits arguably are one-ofa-kind. Yet there’s another dubious distinction that can be pinned on Whidbey Island’s most notorious native son. One that the so-called “Barefoot Bandit� earned in the aftermath of a two-year crime spree in San Juan County. Under the sentence handed down in an Island county courtroom in mid-December, Colton Harris-Moore was ordered to pay an amount of restitution that exceeds that of any other convicted property-crime felon in San Juan County. The 20-year-old former international fugitive pleaded guilty to 17 different

Ferries a more cost-effective entity. The vehicle-reservation system manages demand cheaply and saves the state a projected $280 million, WSF officials reveal. WSF officials had previously thought it would need hefty funding to expand terminals and build new holding areas to meet future demand. Instead, they have turned to a demand management model intended
felonies in San Juan County, all considered property crimes, and was ordered to pay a total of $272,648 in restitution. As far as property crimes go, that’s the single largest restitution sum that Randy Gaylord, now in his 16th year as county prosecutor, can recall. “It is the largest property restitution case ever,� Gaylord said. Larger monetary awards have been handed down in San Juan County, however, but those were of a “civil� nature. For example, an Orcas Island couple was awarded $4.2 million in damages six years ago in one of the largest civil judgements ever handed down in superior court. That to streamline the ferry-riding process. “We have taken the philosophy here at Washington State Ferries to change from an asset management plan – build bigger boats, build bigger ships, build bigger terminals to put as many passengers on the vessels as possible,� Capacci said. “That’s not possible in today’s world. I can’t just build bigger ships, you can’t build bigger docks to put more cars on. So what you have to do is manage the demand.� The Legislature has allocated $5,851,000 for the
award followed in the wake of a criminal case in which an Orcas Island man was convicted of vehicular assault after colliding head-on into the couple’s car in 2000 on Crow Valley Road. Court-ordered payments from a decade-old felony assault case resulted in well over $100,000 in restitution to resolved personal injury claims by the victim, Gaylord noted. In addition to 17 felonies in San Juan County, HarrisMoore also pleaded guilty to 16 felonies committed in Island County, where the criminal cases filed in each of the two neighboring counties were consolidated and ultimately resolved, and where a collective sentence was handed down Dec. 16 by Island County Superior Court Judge Vickie Churchill. In the San Juans, the single largest restitution award, $135,267, goes to Avemco
Insurance, a Maryland-based aircraft insurer. Avemco carried coverage on an airplane heisted from the tarmac of the Orcas Island airport and that Harris-Moore later crashed landed in a field on the Yakima reservation, located east of the Cascades in south-central Washington state. He escaped the rough landing unharmed. The owner of that plane, Bob Rivers of North Bend, a radiopersonalityandpart-time Orcas resident, was awarded $47,021 in restitution as well. Harris-Moore was ordered to pay $27,600 to Global Aerospace, a California-based aircraft insurer, and to pay Eastsound’s Island Market $11,550 for damages. An Orcas Island couple was awarded $10,500 in restitution from a theft and break-in and a San Juan Island couple, whose boat Harris-Moore swiped from its moorage on
first phase and Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen (D-10th District), chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, said she is optimistic about the reservation system succeeding. She predicts ridership would increase if people know they won’t be stuck in hours-long lines. New fare payment structure A study to determine fare payment and processing options for Washington State Ferries patrons was unveiled during the Washington State Legislature’s Joint Transportation Committee
members, Jan. 4. The study recommends that the ferry system replace its current prepaid Wave2Go payment option with an account-based system where patrons would be able to use different payment options through Good To Go! and One Regional Card for All (ORCA) cards. According to the Washington State Depar tment of Transportation, the Good To Go! is an electronic tolling system currently being implemented on Washington’s SR 520 Bridge, the SR 167

Colton Harris-Moore and his attorney, John Henry Browne, listen as the judge discusses the charges against the Barefoot Bandit. Cape San Juan, was awarded $7,900. Though terms of a federal plea bargain prevent HarrisMoore from personally profiting from the telling his story, he is expected to pay the court-ordered restitution from proceeds from book or movie deals. His total amount of restitution is estimated at $1.3 million.
Harris-Moore is slated to be sentenced in federal court in Jan. 27, where, prior to his Dec. 16 appearance in an Island County courtroom, he pleaded guilty to seven crimes, including bank burglary, interstate transportation of a stolen aircraft and being fugitive in possession of a firearm.
HOT Lanes and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Drivers with Good To Go! have a prepaid account, and when they drive through a tolled facility, an electronic device scans their Good To Go! pass and the toll is automatically deducted from their account. According to the ORCA website, ORCA cards can be used on ferries, trains, rails or buses. ORCA card holders can add value to their cards by phone or online and when they commute, they scan their ORCA cards at card readers or turnstiles and the
fare is deducted from their account. Kathy Scanlan of the Cedar River Group, who helped conduct the study that began last August, said the accountbased system would merge with the ferry reservation system by 2018, if the recommendation is accepted. The reservation system would be first implemented on the Port TownsendCoupeville and AnacortesSan Juan-Sidney routes. Read more about the upcoming changes for ferries at www. islandsweekly.com.

Rock, blues and more Some say the best things in life are free, but others contend nothing in life is free. But the Lopez Center for Community and the Arts is presenting another Community Performance Night at the center, Friday, Jan. 20, 7 p.m. — and it is indeed free. “It’s a way to bring free music to the people by inviting great musical talents to perform,� said Robert Harrison, assistant director of the center. The evening of local entertainment features Runs Deep, a psychedelic rock band, the Sheet Metal Blues Band and David Anderson. Like other Community Performance Nights, there will be cafe style seating and a no-host bar of beer, wine and juice. Popcorn and tea will be provided.
