On the road again
By Steve Wehrly
On the Saturday after the Seattle WTO riots in late 1999, Norm Stamper resigned as Seattle’s Chief of Police. “I was terribly sorry I did what I thought was right,” he told an audience of 50 Sunday afternoon at Skagit Valley Community College in Friday Harbor. For six years, he continue to think he was right to clear 6th and Union St. with tear gas and truncheons, even as he admitted that mistakes in judgment were made and people hurt by police misconduct. His book, “Breaking Rank,” published in 2005, recognized some of those mistakes, but it took a year of book tours, a year of “listening with my heart and my head,” and a year of WTO protesters telling him “I don’t respect you for what you did that day” before he admitted “I was wrong. It was the cop in me that made that decision, not the Chief.”

Lee Taylor is expecting. About 250,000 visitors a year, or thereabouts. That’s roughly the number of people who visit the National Parks Service property on the westside of San Juan Island every year. Taylor, a 30-year Parks Service veteran and, as importantly, San Juan Island National Historical Park’s newly-appointed superintendent, knows visitors go “hand in hand” with the job. Still, she expects a few more visitors to drop by her new home than she has perhaps been used to in the past, once she puts down roots on the island. The first day of her new assignment is April 22. “I have friends on the island and I’ve been here several times,” Taylor said in a phone interview, See TAYLOR, Page 5

Dardanelli back in biz with Girlfriends Opening latest consignment shop is familiar terriorty for Dardanelli Like clothes? Debbie Dardanelli does. This consignment veteran likes selling them, too: she opened Second Act in 1991 and sold it nine years later. According to Louise Deacon, her friend and only employee, "Debbie loves retail and couldn't wait to get back into the consignment business." So Dardanelli opened "Girlfriends" at 210 Nichols St. in Friday Harbor, the former location of Gallery San Juan. Girlfriends has more than a thousand never-worn or lightly-used items with labels like Tribal, St. Johns, Citron and Tommy Bahama on her racks. Dardanelli says, "All the clothes are in excellent condition, some new and never worn and some gently-used." The store has more than clothes, too.

Opportunity knocks, Port prepares for the future Bulkhead repair tops list as Port makes future plans By Steve Wehrly
The Port of Friday Harbor is using the pending update of the town’s shoreline master plan to spur its efforts to plan and obtain permits for a variety of waterfront projects, most urgently the repair or replacement of the waterfront bulkhead. Photos of the Friday Harbor waterfront, from the ferry dock to the U.S. Customs building, festooned tables and chairs at Ernie’s restaurant, at the airport, as the Commission and port staff worked on “must do” and “hope to do” lists of waterfront projects March 21 as part of a port planning. Commission Chairman Greg Hertel opened the meeting by reminding everyone that the Town of Friday Harbor was preparing a Department of Ecologymandated update of the Friday Harbor Shoreline Master Program. Changes in the current master program, which has not been updated since 1990, would be submitted to Ecology sometime next year. Any permit applications filed before DOE approves the master program would be judged under the current program. “We need to be sure that

our plans don’t get stymied by the revised shoreline master program,” Hertel said. Commissioner Barbara Marrett, however, thought that many of the projects the port is planning would satisfy both current and revised shoreline development guidelines. Port Director Marilyn O’Connor, who has been attending the town’s shoreline master program meetings, showed photos illustrating the “serious deterioration” of the bulkhead. She noted that getting the planning done and permit process underway this year would not only assure that the current shoreline master program would apply, but also provide an opportunity for the port to include planning for its needed improve-
ments in the town’s permitting process. O’Connor presented a string of other photos that elicited a lively discussion of possible improvements that might be made in conjunction with the bulkhead repair: a walkway along the waterfront, beach access, more publicuse spaces (including a possible performance venue and other improvements in Fairweather Park), a float for launching kayaks from an unused pier, a waterfront
deck and other landscaping changes to open up views of the harbor, picnic tables and planters, bicycle parking, and, for kids, maybe even a small aquarium, a sandbox or a wading pool. O’Connor pointed to one simple improvement that could be made now, before the tourist season: redesigning the parking spaces near Downriggers Restaurant. The commission instructed port staff to prepare a plan of potential parking changes and a brief description of other “spring beautification” projects the port’s budget can withstand. When the discussion turned to planning away from the beach, commissioners and staff quickly came up with an extensive, and presumably expensive, list of projects which might be considered, including building a second deck on the upper parking lot, constructing new garbage, recycling and reuse facilities, and improving the electricity, water and sewer system infrastructures. O’Connor assured there was enough flexibility in the budget to complete the spring projects and to begin more detailed planning for reconstructing the bulkhead

and making other improvements. Asked later about funding for the many projects discussed, Hertel and Commissioner Mike Ahrenius agreed, “it will
take some doing” to put the money together. Hertel pointed out the port has recently paid off several bonds, increasing the capacity of the port to finance future projects.

avoid delay or confusion at the ticket booth. Harris encourages early arrival at the ferry terminal for those thinking or needing to have a vehicle measured, or schedule an appointment. In Anacortes, notify a ticket booth operator if you wish to have your vehicle measured. A list of pre-approved 14-foot makes and models also can be found on Washington State Ferries website. Ferries spring sailing schedule went into effect Sunday, March 25. It marks the third change in the Anacortes/San Juan sailing schedule with the 14-foot category in place. The carand-driver 14-foot fare, from Anacortes to Friday Harbor, is $41.25. The 14-foot or less fare is $37.15. For more info about fares; visit, www.wsdot.wa.gov/ ferries/fares/

quite as large. I think that’s one of the reasons that people initially were confused.” The solution? Apparently two-fold. Rogers said a portable “laser-measuring device” was designed in-house by WSF engineers at the agency’s maintenance facility in Eagle Harbor. The devices have been deployed to “measuring stations” throughout the system, including the Anacortes terminal, and he expects that the measuring process, when needed, will be more efficient and precise. Then, there’s also a 14-foot-or-under sticker for your windshield. Have your vehicle measured by WSF and then receive a decal signifying which category your car belongs in and that can be displayed on the interior of your windshield. Rogers said Ferries “encourages” use of the sticker as a way to

Harris, WSF has refunded roughly 400 tickets to people — systemwide — who bought a 14-foot or under fare and then later found out that their vehicles failed to measure up. About 25 to 30 of those refunds went to those who bought a ticket for a San Juan sailing, Harris said. “We’re talking about vehicles under 168 inches,” Harris said. “When you say 14 feet that sounds pretty big.

in cases where it came down to inches, and the length of different auto models and brands may change from year to year. He added that owners’ manuals generally measure a vehicle’s length in inches while Ferries calculate ticket prices in feet. What Ferries found, Rogers said, was it needed more precision pumped into the system in order to clear up some of the confusion. According to Customer Service Manager Susan
Communities Program, Stamper said he needed to find out more about the program, but did opine that, “A policeman is not a border patrol officer or an immigration officer…aliens should not be afraid to report a crime for fear of being deported.” He sees the war on drugs as “utter failure,” responsible for a trillion wasted dollars,

After that first half-hour, Stamper covered a lot of ground and answered a lot of questions in the next 90 minutes, starting with a carefully-calibrated discussion of “The Militarization of the Police After 9/ ll” — the announced topic of the talk sponsored by San Juan County progressives. Stamper did not criticize the many communities that started police swat teams or provided police with military equipment and training. Among other examples, he recollected that San Diego was fortunate to have a well-trained police swat team to stop the 1984 “McDonald’s Massacre” after 21 deaths and 19 injuries. “There is a need for SWAT teams and military equipment and tactics,” Stamper said, adding “if you need these tools, you must have training, training and more training.” Stamper posits that two wars — the War on Drugs and the War on Terror — “are turning cops into soldiers.” He views both
millions of non-violent prisoners since the 1970’s, and “the disintegration of countless African-American families.” The answer? Legalization of all drugs, including heroin, methamphetamine and cocaine. “If we legalize it, we can regulate it. If we regulate it, we can control it,” said Stamper. And, he says, we can shut down an industry in which “drug profiteers are making $500 billion per year.” Asked about the “arming of the civilian population” and “the need for gun control,” Stamper said “I started out as a proponent of gun control” and “I used to want to “confiscate them all,” but he realizes that’s not about to happen. For now: “Every gun should be registered and every gun owner licensed. Firearm training should be required, and gun locks and locked gun storage boxes mandated.” Although one or two questions turned into statements from the audience, most seemed to agree with Sheriff ’s Rob Nou’s reason for attending: “I’m here to listen.” And so was the audience, who gave Stamper a round of applause and a warm goodbye.

Just when it appeared that the Freedom Foundation had gotten the message in my guest opinion on Feb. 22, (“Foundation relies on falsehoods”, Journal pg. 7) and in Jon Christoffersen’s letter to the editor on Feb. 29, (“Freedom Foundation in SJC?”, pg. 6) that its involvement in our community is not wanted by the majority of our citizens, this Olympia-based, right-wing, special-interest group has reared its ugly head again with another dishonest editorial on its website about Friends of the San Juans and the Charles Dalton case on Orcas. In its new editorial on March 12, the Freedom Foundation stated that Stephanie Buffum of Friends, “...had been given direct access to the San Juan County database for code-violations—including a log-in name and password so that she could track or assist in managing how the county was dealing with the neighbors she had turned into the county authorities over time.” But this statement is dishonest and not true. Instead, Rene Beliveau, director of Community Planning & Development Department, told me that, “I can assure you that the above allegations are a com-

plete fabrication and have no basis in reality.” He also said that neither Ms. Buffum nor any other private citizen has direct access to CDPD’s databases, and that no private citizen or outside organization has a log-in name and password that would allow them to track or provide assistance to the county in the management of complaints. In fact, Mr. Beliveau himself is not even able to access this database from a computer outside of county offices. Mr. Beliveau went on to say that the Freedom Foundation has never contacted him to confirm the accuracy of its accusations. This is strange indeed for an organization with a multi-million dollar budget and 25 employees, including at least four Orwellian “Thought Leaders”. With this level of resources, couldn’t the Freedom Foundation even check the accuracy of its alleged facts? Or perhaps the facts don’t mean anything to the Freedom Foundation. Given its history of distortions and fabrications in the Dalton case, how can anyone in San Juan County believe anything the Freedom Foundation has to say? David Dehlendorf San Juan Island

Federal grants have supported a part-time LICC summer youth crew to steward BLM lands to meet local conservation and recreation goals. The community is already involved and invested and permanently protecting these lands will secure them for generations to come. We strongly urge the County Council to fully support the dual action approach and the National Monument designation, just as they have supported the National Conservation Area.

NCA: council could use a push
We currently have a great opportunity to permanently protect the nearly 1,000 acres of Bureau of Land Management lands in the San Juans. There is legislation in Congress to designate the BLM lands as a National Conservation Area. Identical results can also be achieved through a presidential proclamation as a National Monument. The Department of Interior is asking the San Juan County Council for input. We want the council on April 3 to answer that request and to support both the legislative and presidential approaches, protecting these lands by whichever approach See letters, Page 7

A delicate Proclamation to preserve—capitol idea balancing act
A
fresh face. A clean slate. A chance to start anew. Sounds a lot like spring itself. But what we really have in mind is a pending change in leadership at National Parks Service headquarters here on San Juan Island. When that change takes effect — Lee Taylor has been named superintendent of San Juan Island National Historical Park and her first day on the job is April 22 — islanders and the National Parks Service have an opportunity to let the past be the past and to forge a new relationship with the future in mind. Let’s make the most of it. Management of the park is no easy task. From American Camp and South Beach at the southern end of the island, to English Camp and the newly acquired Mitchell Hill property further north, the park itself spans more than 2,000 acres and with a geographical divide in between. The Park and the properties within it include shorelines, beaches, waterfront, Garry oak prairies, forested hillsides, grasslands and a whole lot of wildlife. It draws more than 2,500 visitors a year. And then there’s historical and culture resources that require management, maintenance and protection so that they’re remain in tact and in place for generations to come. That’s part of Parks mission. On paper, Taylor would appear to have the credentials, the experience and the chops to overcome the discord of the past and to build a better bridge to the future. A 30-year Parks Service veteran, she’s wellversed and steeped on the educational side of the National Parks Service and has long played a leadership role in one of NPS’s most popular and heavily visited parks, Mount Rainier. It would be hard to conceive of any clash or conflict over use of the park here that hasn’t been experienced by NPS staff at Mount Rainier. Like all Parks Service properties, San Juan Island National Historical Park belongs to all of us, visitors and islanders alike. Rules are in effect to protect the park, the creatures in it and to manage it for future generations, as well as for the enjoyment of those of us who are here now. Collaboration would seem to be the key. And Taylor could well be the one to turn it. We say let’s give the lady some time to gather her bearings, a hearty welcome and a chance to set a new course.

San Juan Country citizens Asha Lela, Tom Reeve and Jamie Stephens visited the Washington Congressional delegation and the Bureau of Land Management in Washington D.C. earlier this month to discuss local efforts to permanently protect BLM lands in the islands. “It was a great time to visit the nation’s capitol with cherry blossoms blooming, but more important, we were very positively received at the offices of all 11 members of the state delegation,” said Asha Lela of Lopez Island. Lela and Reeve and other concerned citizens have been working for several years on federal legislation seeking permanent protection for BLM lands in the San Juan Islands with a strong community voice in their management. “In our visits with offices of both Republicans and Democrats, we met with no pushback and much encouragement,” said Reeve, also a resident of Lopez. ”But we also were told by every office that the odds of getting our bill passed through the House of Representatives this year are near zero.” A U.S. Senate committee held a hearing on the bill March 22 and Senator Maria Cantwell spoke to the importance of protection and the benefits of the designation. A BLM deputy director testified that the designation would prevent these public lands from being sold and would not have any impact on private lands. Even with progress on the Senate side, it is unlikely the bill will pass in the House. The group also met with BLM Director Bob Abbey, who reiterated the agency’s support for the group’s work. In light of congressional deadlock, Abbey repeated U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar's willingness to help achieve the goal of the legislation by proposing a presidential proclamation. Abbey explicitly said that BLM would have a voice in the content of any such proclamation and that they would use the letters they received, particularly from the San Juan County Council, as guidance in building that content. “Through presidential proclamation we have an incredible opportunity for a very short period of time to make as our reality permanent protection of our BLM lands and protecting the economic benefits to the community associated with them,” said Jamie Stephens of Lopez, who also serves as a county council member. Such a proclamation, said Stephens, should be based on the existing legislation and should: n Set the purpose of the proclamation to conserve, protect, and enhance for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations the ecological, scenic, wildlife,

Maintenance and a whole lot more
On March 31, the Bike Trails Committee, a subcommittee of the San Juan Island Trails committee, will host a Bike Tune-up & Swap event at the Friday Harbor Elementary School Play Shed (same location as last year). My family and I attended last year’s event and had a great time. It really got us motivated to clean up our bikes and to ride them. There were bike mechanics there who tuned up our bikes and showed our boys how to put their own chains

The county council is scheduled to vote on a position supporting protection through presidential proclamation on April 3.

I’ve heard that last year nearly 78 bicycles were serviced by skilled mechanics. Twelve helmets were given away for free, or for a small donation. There were people there to help fit helmets for proper fit, as well as to fit people to their bikes (it is much more comfortable to ride a properly fit bicycle). One child at last year’s event got his bike repaired and then rode it for the very first time. Bicycling is a wonderful family activity, a great way to get healthy and a good way to get around. So come see how to do it safely and get information on bike maintenence at the Bike Tune-up/ Swap event, Saturday. It is a great time of year to get biking. My family and I sure enjoed our time last year. Kim Erickson San Juan Island

Peanuts for pols
Rockin’ at Mullis By Scooter Harasmussen
Fresh off its success with Soroptimists St. Paddy’s Day party, the powers that be at the Mullis Center are ready to double down. Turns out, legendary ‘70s soul and rock performers Hall & Oates are more than happy to bask in the center’s spotlight. “We started thinking, ‘why limit ourselves?’ We’ve got a killer venue here,” Senior Services Coordinator Curt Vanhayland said. “We thought we’d start small, though, a duo.” Noted for hits such as “Maneater”, “She’s a Rich Girl” and “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do), the so-called “mellow fellows” of pop music fame will perform two 40-minute shows, beginning Sunday afternoon, at 4:30 p.m. “We didn’t want it to go too late into the day,” Vanhayland said. Sundays performance stands as a first-ever appearance on San Juan for Hall & Oates, who recently complet-

County to tap CAO conflict for cash By Cooleen Smithwick Armstrange
Property rights have dominated the local press, town hall meetings and dinner conversations for the past two years. Now San Juan County is capitalizing on the controversial Critical Areas Ordinance to bring in some much-needed local dollars. “People won’t stop talking about it, so we figured why not let some quality mer-
chandise tell the story for them – and raise money for the county?” said council member Patty Melt Miller. The “CAO Clubhouse” will offer t-shirts, hats and bumper stickers with such slogans as: “This land is my land, not yours.”; “It’s my wetland and I can do what I want with it.”; “Save the salmon, support the CAO.”, “The vocal shall inherit the earth.” And, “Every county has a

addition to salary and benefits. They also provide the council with recommendations for canning and with recipes. Reaction to the fiber and fruit cut was swift, and mixed. “I don’t know how long I can go on working for this county for peanuts,” Prosecuting Attorney Randall Gayking said. “With a stockpile of fruits and vegetables in reserve, I characterize the decision as arbitrary and capricious.” A year ago, with prices for agricultural products at all-time lows, the commission agreed to increase each elected officials monthly fruits and vegetables subsidy by 10 bushels and five pecks, along with a quarterly 10 percent bonus of dates and figs. The commission also voted last week to keep yearly allotments of lavender intact. “It can have a very soothing effect for any elected who is feeling stressed,” said celery commissioner Anna Bodanna, owner of San Juan Island’s Color Purple. Sheriff Bob No said the loss won’t affect either the department’s daily operations or his personal culinary concoctions. “It doesn’t amount to a hill of beans,” he said. ■ Vegan Film Night, 6 p.m., library, free. “Incident at Tofu Bridge”; refreshment include nuts and celery served. www.sjlib.org ■ Witness Relocation Annual potluck & dessert auction, 7 p.m.; check with case mg. for secret location.

San Juan County’s elected officials will have substantially less publicly funded fiber on their plate next year following the Citizens Celery Commission’s most recent decision. With commodity prices on the rise worldwide, the Celery Commission voted March 21 to scale back by half the amount of fruit and vegetables each elected official will receive in 2013. Chairman Roger Stalkman noted commissioners did agreed, however, to help offset that loss of fiber and fructose by upping the allotment of Spanish peanuts each elected official will receive by one-third. “Spanish peanut futures are at an all-time low with the Euro-zone in such a financial mess,” Stalkman said. “Spanish producers are almost giving it away for free compared to what you pay in most markets. It’s a good energy food.” Appointed by the County Council, the celery commission consists of three agricultural producers from each of the county’s six legislative districts. The 18-person panel determines the amount of fruits and vegetables, grains, dairy products and legumes each county elected official receives, in

Humor: breaking down barriers Stage Left’s production of “Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me” opens April 5
So, an Englishman, an Irishman and an American are taken hostage and sent off to prison together in the Middle East. If that sounds like the classic setup to an old joke, well, there's good reason. "I think that's part of it," Helen Machin-Smith, director and chief of Island Stage Left, says of the San Juan Island production company's upcoming performance. "Humor is one of the tools they use to survive. It's their weapon. For all its harrowing subject matter, the play is also blissfully funny." Island Stage Left's performance of Frank McGuinness' "Someone Who'll Watch Over Me" opens April 5 at the San Juan County Fairgrounds, and runs through April 29. It’s a dialogue-driven tour de force with its spotlight fixed firmly on emotion and imagination, and it features a cast of three, starring Island Stage Left's Daniel Mayes and Seattle equity actors Erik Gratton and Jeff Allen Pierce, both of whom are making their Stage Left debut. Based on interviews and biographical material of three men imprisoned in Iran in the 1980s, Brian Keenan (Irish), John McCarthy (English) and Terry Anderson (U.S.), the play features two of the qualities that Machin-Smith looks

Carol Ellen (Dockstader) Marble: 1942—2012 Carol Ellen Dockstader Marble passed peacefully in her home on the evening of March 18, having battled the debilitating lung disease Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. Carol’s faith in God and her commitment to making a difference for people in need have been guiding forces in her life. Her positive spirit and joy for life was an inspiration for those she loved and touched in her community. Born in Everett, Wash., on Christmas day, 1942 to Albert and Dorothye Dockstader, Carol loved to sing and play the violin. She graduated from Ballard High School in 1961 and attended Willamette University on a music scholarship, where she sang with the traveling choir; she was a member of Chi Omega Sorority and was elected Willamette’s Associated Women’s President. After graduation in 1965 with a Bachelor of Arts in sociology, Carol drove coast-tocoast around the United States with college friends before returning to Seattle to begin her career as a case worker for the state Public Assistance Department. She met Dale Marble in Seattle and on August 18, 1966, they eloped to Coeur d’Alene Idaho to be married, followed by a move to Dale’s hometown of Friday Harbor to start their family. Soon the city girl was living on Mitchell Bay gardening, caring for farm animals,

and raising daughters Christy and Tracy. As the girls headed off to college, Carol pursued community activities as an outlet for Carol Marble her desire to do something meaningful. Carol recognized the need in San Juan County for help in growing the skills and abilities of non-profits and boards, and local volunteer-based programs. Working with Skagit Valley College’s newly formed San Juan campus in the early 1990s, she helped develop the volunteer program and coordinate community college workshops, encouraging volunteerism and non-profit management. She also developed a service learning class and curriculum, and many community workshops, teaching some herself, bringing in well-known trainers for others. Carol served as a founding board member for several local organizations, including the San Juan Island Celebrity Golf Classic, San Juan Island Community Foundation, San Juan Island Family Resource Center, Leadership San Juan Islands, and United Way of San Juan County. She was also an elder at Friday Harbor Presbyterian Church and a member of the San Juan County Health and Safety Network. In recognition of her work, she was appointed to the Washington State Council

on Volunteerism and Community Service and served as president of that state board for several years. Over the years, Dale and Carol enjoyed many wintertime adventures, including cruising the west coast of Mexico, the U.S. and Canada in their 49-foot pleasure boat, Silver Sea; sailing in Florida and the Bahamas in their 38-foot sailboat Pleiades, and traveling the southwest and Mexico by RV. Most recently, they enjoyed river cruising in Europe and exploring Italy with their children and grandchildren. The most treasured part of Carol’s life has been the time she has spent with her four precious grandchildren, Dylan Roberson, Nicholas Roberson, and twins, Skylar and Teagan Burkhart. Carol is survived by husband Dale Marble, daughter Tracy Roberson (Jeff), and grandchildren Dylan and Nicholas of Friday Harbor, daughter Christy Marble (Joe Burkhart) and grandchildren Teagan and Skylar of Woodinville; her sister Harriet “Skip� Dockstader of Bellevue, cousin Bob Dockstader of Federal Way, and many cherished nieces and nephews. Carol and her family remain eternally grateful to the dear friends and neighbors who generously and selflessly shared their time, support and love when it was needed most. At Carol’s request there will be no memorial service; a celebration of her life will be scheduled by family at a later date. In lieu of flowers contributions may be made in Carol’s name to United Way of San Juan County (PO Box 3181, Friday Harbor, WA 98250)
