Illegal burning still sparks unease Fire marshall cites high risk conditions By Cali Bagby/Islands’ Sounder

A quiet glide into fame Frank Brame selected for pilots’ “Honor Wall” By Scott Rasmussen

Frank Brame left home at the age of 17 with $5 tucked in his pocket and instructions from his father to hop the train to Edmonton and go make his mark on the world. On Sunday, May 19, the journey that Brame embarked on some 70 years ago reached yet another milestone, as the former Canadian soaring champion – think gliders – and aeronautical engineer became the fifth pilot inducted into the “Wall of Honor” at the Friday Harbor Airport’s museum of flight. Those two events stand as bookends to a bigger story, nearly epic in its scope, both on the ground and in the air. But it’s one that you’re unlikely to hear about from Brame himself. That’s where good friend and fellow aviator John Geyman steps in. “He’s just a great guy, a quiet guy, and modest,” said Geyman, unofficial historian of San Juan Island Pilots Association and master of ceremonies of the

Brame’s May 19 induction gathering. “And he has a great public-good attitude and has done a lot for this community that a lot of people probably don’t know about.” Such as? Well, how about stints as a board member of Inter Island Medical Center – president of the board at the time when IIMC averted financial collapse by transforming itself into a public hospital district – and as a member of the senior services advisory council, and as an advisor to the Friday Harbor Port Commission and past president of the Pilots Association. And that’s just for starters. In fact, it’s the 20-plus years of public service, even more so than his accomplishments in the field of aviation, which prompted the Pilots Association to pick Brame as its 2012 Wall of Honor inductee. As such, he joins such luminaries in local aviation as Roy Franklin, Marty Stewart and Dr. Malcolm Heath, last year’s Wall of Honor inductee. Pilots Association President Mike Taylor says public service weighs heavily into the “matrix” when the selection committee considers candidates, and then makes its choice. Brame was a unanimous selection, Taylor said. See BRAME, Page 4

Finally the sky is blue, birds sing in blossoming trees, islanders trade pants for shorts and don sunglasses. It’s also the time of year when the risk of fire increases, and in about a month open burning season will be over. Although he has yet to write a citation this year for illegal burnings, San Juan County Deputy Fire Marshal Paul Turner is concerned that it’s still occurring, but that islanders may not report the fires. He has two theories – either they are not aware that they can contact Turner on the weekend or they fear repercussion from the people starting the fires. “We are available 24 hours a day seven days a week. If someone is burning illegally call 911,” Turner said. “And the names of those who report are not disclosed.” Last year, Turner responded to cases countywide of residents burning without a permit and in some instances, setting fire to garbage, fiberglass items, and paper products. On Lopez, one resident lit a 42-foot grounded boat on fire. The individual responsible was given a ticket for burning unauthorized materials, plus a fine of around $2,900 — the cost of suppression, which included three engines and about 16 personnel sent to put out the blaze. “You can burn only natural vegetation,” Turner said. “Milled lumber — like the boat, asphalt and a whole other list of things are unauthorized materials.” Basically, if it doesn’t grow in the ground, it can’t be burned. It’s a rule that Turner strictly enforces. On San Juan Island, Chief Steve Marler of San Juan Island Fire

Department cannot recall a single incident that warranted a citation for an illegal burn during his five-year tenure with the department. However, Marler can recall several instances that have come close. “There have been some that Paul Turner have risen to point where instructions had to be given that you shall not do this anymore’,” he said. “Either they had too much load in a pile or were burning bad stuff that shouldn’t have been See Burn, Page 4

Sheriff’s log San Juan County Sheriff 's Department reported responding to these calls: May 3: A pistol found in the purse of a woman who passed out in a Friday Harbor grocery store, and who was shuttled to a medical center for treatment, was confiscated by a deputy and taken to Sheriff 's headquarters for safekeeping. The 27-year-old reportedly was reportedly highly intoxicated at the time she passed out, shortly before 6 p.m. The pistol was discovered among the woman's belongings as a deputy searched her purse for identification. May 9: Excessive speed and a pair of warrants prompted the arrest of an Orcas Island man following

a mid-afternoon traffic stop on Olga Road. The 33-year-old, who reportedly twice failed to appear in court, once for a DUI charge and also for a public nuisance-related offense, was taken into custody in the 3200 block of Olga Road at about 2:30 p.m. He was also ticketed for speeding. May 10: A bank bag and about $600 cash disappeared from a westside Orcas Island restaurant in an apparent case of theft. With no sign of a forced entry, authorities suspect that the thief had inside information about the combination to the West Sound Cafe's kitchen door. May 11: A late night altercation between two San

Juan Island sisters led to the arrest of the younger one. The 22-year-old, ushered out of a Friday Harbor bar about 30 minutes earlier by a deputy because of a court order prohibiting her from drinking, was taken into custody at her Argyle Avenue home shortly before midnight. Distraught over the encounter at the bar, she had reportedly been consoled by her older sister at that time. n A San Juan Island man convicted of felony assault for bludgeoning a stranger on the back of the head in a Friday Harbor bar, in a case of mistaken identity, was arrested after returning to that same establishment less than a year later. The 23-year-old, who was reportedly told to leave after showing up in the bar, was taken into custody shortly before 9 p.m. for criminal trespass and assorted probation violations.

May 13: Excessive speed prompted a pair of traffic tickets for a San Juan Island woman, and a criminal citation, following an early evening traffic stop near the north end of Roche Harbor Road. The 24-year-old, who was pulled over near the intersection of Roche Harbor Road and Westcott Drive, was ticketed for speeding and driving without insurance, and was issued a criminal citation for driving with a suspended license. n A San Juan Island man's pickup vanished from a Turn Point Road marina in apparent case of theft. The 56-year-old's '97 GMC Jimmy contained about $200 worth of tools at the time it went missing from Shipyard Cove. May 14: Errant driving prompted the arrest of an Orcas Island man for DUI following a early morning traffic stop on Mount

The 47-year-old, who was pulled over in the 500 block shortly before 9 a.m., reportedly had let a tire on his pickup drift into the oncoming lane of traffic as a patrol car was headed in his direction. n A familiar face and a warrant led to the arrest of an Orcas Island man following an encounter with a deputy at a Crescent Beach Road convenience store. The 40-year-old, reportedly wanted for failing to appear in court on a DUI charge, was taken into custody at the scene. May 15: An Orcas Island man accused of damaging property of a neighbor with a baseball bat faces charges of obstructing an officer and resisting arrest following an unsuccessful attempt to leave the scene in a pickup. The 42-year-old, who reportedly was combative and subdued by a taser during the arrest, was taken into custody near his Crow Valley home shortly after 8 p.m. May 17: A San Juan Island man accused of hitting a ferry worker with his car while driving off a ferry, and of failing to stop, was trailed, tracked down and later arrested for hit-and-run and driving with a suspended license. The 38-year-old was tailed from the ferry landing by a witness who alerted authorities about the man's location while in transit. At the time of his arrest, the man—pulled over near the intersection of Argyle Avenue and Spring Street shortly after 8 a.m.—reportedly told a deputy that he was just headed back to the ferry landing to check on the person he had hit. May 18: A San Juan Island girl suspects someone stole her purse when she left it unattended on the Spring Street International School grounds.

Surviving the recession Part 1 of a 5 week series By Steve Wehrly

“The Great Recession” doesn’t mean much to the five businesses lined up between 260 and 280 Spring Street. But two annual spring migrations, tourists and whales, mean a lot to The Hot Shop, San Juan Jewels, Sweet Retreat, Island Studio and Nash Brothers Sporting Goods. Tourists and whales, like wildebeest and zebra on the Serengeti in East Africa, come back every year to San Juan Island - and, except for license plates on cars, overwintering locals don’t know where the tourists or whales have been all winter. Like islanders watching for whales in Haro Strait,

Eddie Williams, James Paull, Dave Morton, Claudia Fullerton and David Nash wait anxiously for the first nice day in May when the first long line of cars comes up Spring Street from the ferry dock. Locals business owners love both tourists and whales. Some owners like David Nash say they love the whales more. “But,” says Nash, “Whales don’t carry credit cards.” Nash and the other owners between 260 and 280 Spring Street have weathered the rains of winter and recession. They are five very different small businesses with five very different owners -- and five very different responses to the Great Recession. But all five have one common theme song: things will get better now that the tourists are back in town and the whales back in Haro Strait.

“Good Stewards” receive recognition for island stewardship Friday Harbor, WA—Six islanders and one local group have received awards for their environmental leadership from the Stewardship Network of the San Juans this past week. The Stewardship Network is a coalition of private and public organizations whose vision is a healthy, thriving ecosystem in the San Juan Archipelago from land to sea. For several years the Stewardship Network has honored special individuals, families, teachers and businesses that have demonstrated, through their actions, conservation ethics that benefit our entire island community. Many nominations for

the Good Stewards award program were received. This year’s award winners are Pete Kilpatrick of San Juan Island for his environmentally-friendly building practices and community leadership; Asha Lela of Lopez Island for her leadership in the Islanders for a National Conservation Area grassroots movement; business owner Michael Budnick of Northwest Concepts on Orcas Island for his thoughtful landscaping business; Marta Branch of Orcas School District for her innovative science work with high school students; Sam and Carson Sprenger for their careful stewardship of Garry oak woodlands on Waldron and the Cedar

Rock Biological Preserve on Shaw Island; and the San Juan Community Home Trust for their sustainable affordable-housing neighborhood on San Juan. Full profiles of these amazing islanders (and, previous years’ award winners) can be accessed at www.stewardshipsjc.org after May 31. The award winners’ stories will also be on display at the Sustainable San Juans Event, held at Lime Kiln State Park on San Juan Island on Sunday, May 27 from 12-3pm. We encourage islanders to attend the event and enjoy educational nature rambles, music, and activities and booths hosted by Stewardship Network members.

es have risen so much and partly because tourism has been down.” Paull admits that the business downturn in 2008 and 2009 got him to think about retiring, but he didn’t fully realize that lowering prices for his retirement sale would turn things around so dramatically. Paull said he built up a big inventory of high-quality jewelry during the 1990’s because he knew gold prices would keep going up and because “you get what you pay for.” That accumulated inven-

tory is now on a deep-discount retirement sale, but because much of the inventory was purchased before precious metal prices skyrocketed, he’s not forced sell under cost. “People took advantage of the good prices, especially on wedding rings, so we had our biggest gross sales ever last summer and I’m expecting the same this summer.” Paull points out with satisfaction that the big increase in wedding ring sales “is mostly from locals, people whose parents shopped

here, and the parents have encouraged their children to come here first.” Paull appreciates that tourists have been important to his success, but said, “Islanders have supported this jewelry store for many years and that local loyalty shows we need a jewelry store here. So hopefully we will find a buyer soon, and I’ll be retired,” said Paull. Meanwhile, he says “I’m doing OK. from locals and tourists alike. For me, the recession is over in more ways than one.”

IT’S ELECTRIFYING! THANKS FOR YOUR FEEDBACK AT THE BROADBAND FORUMS Thank you to everyone who attended the five community forums we recently held in partnership with the San Juan County Economic Development Council on Orcas, Shaw, Lopez, and San Juan Island to discuss the countywide broadband initiative. The broadband initiative is still a work in progress and no final decisions have been made, but we were excited to share with you a draft of a possible system design and we’re grateful for the comments and suggestions we heard. This is a brief recap of the presentation and feedback from the forums. A full article is available online. The four goals of the Broadband Initiative are to: 1. Expand OPALCO’s existing data network to allow “Smart Grid” technologies that will enhance reliability of our electrical system and help our members conserve energy. 2. Help our local emergency services improve their communications systems by eliminating “dead zones” in their radio coverage. 3. Make high-speed Internet access available to at least 90% of the County. 4. Provide opportunities for cell phone companies to expand their services here in a way that minimizes impact on our beautiful island environment. The proposed system design involves connecting OPALCO’s existing fiber optic backbone to approximately 100 utility poles throughout the islands. High speed internet (broadband) service would be delivered wirelessly from these poles to local homes and businesses. Emergency services radio facilities could locate on the poles where additional coverage is needed. And, we could provide space and connections on these same poles for cell phone companies who choose to take advantage of this opportunity to increase their coverage. The proposed system would cost an estimated $16 - $18 million dollars to build, and this cost would be funded through low-interest loans available through the Federal Government. We are considering a financial arrangement in which these loans would be repaid by all OPALCO members through a monthly charge estimated at $5 to $10 per month. The operational costs of the system would be covered by a monthly internet service subscription fee similar to what we pay today. The input we received at the forums reflects the diversity of opinions in the islands. We heard tremendous support for the initiative, were asked to consider the needs of members who struggle to make ends meet and heard member concerns about potential health effects of wireless technology. We also heard from some local Internet Service Providers who were concerned about how this project might impact their jobs. We heard from members of our emergency services team, including Sheriff Nou, who made it clear that lives are at risk - and some have already been lost due to the many dead zones where cell phone or radio communication is nonexistent.

We are listening to your feedback carefully, and want to encourage islanders who have thoughts or input to get in touch with us. We are continually working to understand and address the concerns of our fellow islanders as we proceed to investigate the technical and financial viability of this project.

OPALCO is committed to operating transparently, doing what we can to accommodate the interests of our membership, and making sure that we act prudently. We are striving to design a system that would be an investment in our future: one that would serve our needs today, and could also evolve in the decades to come to meet our needs in a rapidly changing world. Ultimately, the decision on whether to move forward will depend on whether the OPALCO Board of Directors believes the initiative is in the long-term interests of the OPALCO membership. Again, thank you to everyone who participated in the forums, and if you didn’t participate, we encourage you to visit our website – www.opalco.com – to keep informed and give us your feedback.

Brame: Continued from page 1 “He may be a quiet guy, but Frank has been a guiding force in island aviation for 25-plus years,” he said. Born in 1924 and raised on a wheat farm near a small town in the Canadian province of Alberta, Brame got hooked early on by the flight bug. He figured those pilots flying over the family wheat fields, a (Royal Air Force training academy was located nearby), surely must be having a better time than he was, with the back-breaking demands of working the farm. “I knew right then that’s what I wanted to do,” Brame said. After leaving the farm, Brame ended up at that academy but a disability of his left arm prevented him from becoming a pilot of traditional aircraft, but not a pilot altogether; more on that in a moment. After a year at the RAF school, Brame,

who would find his professional calling as an engineer, left to work on the Alaskan Highway project, and from there it was off to the Curtis Wright Technical Institute in southern California, where he graduated with honors. He also graduated with distinction from Cranfield University in England, which, according to Geyman, is equivalent academically in rigor and prestige to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology or Cal Tech in the U.S. Eventually, Brame hooked up with Boeing and spent more than 20 years as an aeronautical engineer with the Seattlearea aviation company, and he and his wife, Sandra, made Lake Samammish their home before moving to San Juan fulltime in 1987. Brame also has several aeronautical inventions and patents to his name, one of which provides pilots with advanced warning if a solid object, like a mountain face, is in their path.

The maximum fine for burning without a permit is $250 and the maximum fine for burning unapproved materials is $500. Both require a court appearance. Turner recalled another fire last year where a man was burning fiberglass, car seats and other garbage – basically “he was burning everything under the kitch-

en sink.” As long as dump fees remain high, Turner said people will revolt by either hauling trash to the mainland, burying it in a deep hole or lighting a match and watching it burn.

Barbecues and fireplaces are not affected by the end of the burn permit season. The open burning sea-

Anyone living within an urban growth area cannot have a residential burn pile. Commercial permits are needed for larger burns (40 feet by 40 feet); they are $225 and valid for 30 days. Heavy equipment—such as an excavator—is required to be on scene. According to Marler, the big rush for burn permits happens in the fall. At that time, those purchasing a permit generally have until

engine (gliders). Brame gave up piloting a couple of years ago. But not before joining an elite group of aviators known as the UFOs, or United Flying Octogenarians, a group whom Brame describes affectionately as a “fraternity of old farts.” Nowadays, he flies as second in command with local pilot and friend Carlo Franciosi, who jokingly, one would surmise, told those assembled at the induction that he tells Brame “to sit back, be quiet and keep your feet off the front panel.” While those who know him best may refer to him as a quiet man, Brame clearly recalls and won’t hesitate to share his memories of what it’s like to soar hundreds of feet up in the air for hours on end. “It can be exhilarating and it can be peaceful,” he said. “It depends on the terrain. Man has always wanted to fly like the birds and soaring is the closest we’ve been to it, literally. It’s so peaceful.”

the end of June to use it. He notes there’s usually another rush, though of lesser degree, in the final weeks before the end of the season. In 2010, a total of 3,100 burn permits were purchased county wide. Nearly all of those were for residential burn piles, Marler said. In 2011, 2,900 permits were sold and this year, so far, with the fall rush still to come, a total of 1,100 have been purchased, according to San Juan fire department figures. And how dangerous can fires be—illegal or not? Turner said garbage can release harmful chemicals

into the air. As far as the danger of the fire spreading, he said it depends: a 5-foot pile of leaves could easily get out of control if a water source or shovel is not available for suppression. “Fire is dangerous, but it can be managed,” he said. “Fire is a concern for us every day. That is one reason why we shut off that burning in June.” Permits can be obtained online at www.sjcfiremarshal.org or at any of the island fire departments.

prowess earn Brame plenty of props from friends and admirers, it’s his achievements in the cockpit of a glider that local pilots and aviation aficionados marvel at the most. He won the title of Canadian Gliding Champion in 1950 and six years later competed for Canada in the World Soaring Championship, hosted by France, where he finished 16th out 60 contestants. Back in Friday Harbor, Geyman is still smitten by the thought of one of Brame’s greatest feats, spending what would be nearly an entire work day riding the thermals in the cockpit of a glider. “Seven hours and 45 minutes,” he said. “It’s just remarkable.” Poring over log books in preparation for the induction, Geyman and fellow association member, Fred Schumacher (whom Brame describes as “my ministers of propaganda”), calculated that Brame piloted 58 different types of aircraft over the years, 27 of which did not have an

Orcas Village Parking Limits

Overtime parking at Orcas Village might cost you $25 if the San Juan County Council decides to enforce the ten time-limit parking signs already installed near the ferry dock on Orcas Island. At a May 22 County Council discussion, County Engineer Rachel Dietzman explained that the San Juan County Code must be amended before the signs are enforceable. “Signs were installed based on need or requests from local businesses, but fines can’t be enforced” until the County Code is amended to specifically include the area in the Vehicles and Traffic chapter, said Dietzman. Right now, only county roads at Roche Harbor Resort and the Islandale Subdivision on Lopez have time-limit signs that are enforceable. “We’re only responding to local concerns that some cars are parked for two or three days in parking zones designated for two or three hours,” Dietzman said. “We’re not being proactive unless a citizen or local business complains about the situation.” The council has scheduled the matter for Public Hearing and possible action at the regularly-scheduled June 26 meeting.

However, if more than a third of the roofing panels need replacement, that price will rise. An additional $23,400 will complete the repairs on the play shed. “We really don’t know exactly what we will find once we tear off the shingles,” said board member Brent Snow. “But even with a worst case scenario we are unlikely to need the entire $400,000 to complete the repair. This improves our ability to meet more of the substantial maintenance and repair needs of the district.” On Friday, May 18, a committee reviewed candidates for the temporary position of project manager to oversee capital repairs in the district. School Board member Ralph Hahn emphasized the importance of completing repairs to the elementary building including windows, doors and temperature control. “As a parent who will have children in this building for many years to come, I am reassured that the building will be a safe and healthy facility,” said board member Jennifer Furber.

munity and the people of this state need a calm, practical decision maker to help restore the state’s weakened economy and turn around years of poor financial choices,” Swapp said. “We need to create the conditions that will spur companies to hire. We need to protect our citizens” property rights and protect our unique way of life in the 40th.” John plans to make job creation and sound fiscal policies the main focus of his campaign. John has been in business for 15 years and prior to that worked as a manufacturing engineer for a Seattle aerospace company. As the founder of a startup business, and with his personal experiences creating a payroll, he said, he recognizes that the decisions made in Olympia impact businesses and job creation. “We need employment to be expanding, not stagnating. There is no financial discipline in Olympia,” he said. “It’s easy for government to add costs to families and employers through carelessly adding regulations and taxes, but I believe that the real answer is to simplify government.

Forlenza to run for District 3 In my approximately ten years of living on San Juan Island, I cannot imagine a more crucial time to be running for office. We are economically challenged but we are also in the middle of a dynamic period of great potential. We can get on with shaping our future. I am ready to take on the tasks that await a group of citizen leaders who want to contribute the energy and time demanded for increasingly effective SJC governance. In November we will elect legislators who will need the creativity and vision to respond to whatever type of governance prevails. I want to be a part of this as a doer, not a dreamer. I want to see the Council address the issue which affects nearly all county problems, the long-term viability of our economy without compromising the environment. The experience I bring includes being the owner and manager of the Technology Center, 25 years of living and working in Latin America and Europe as an international marketing executive; a real estate investor, and a restaurant owner. I chaired the committee for the reinstatement of the Derelict Vessel Program, I am a member of the Board of the Village at the Harbor, I was the

Commander of the FH Power Squadron, and I am now serving as its chief Education Officer. I can offer assistance where bilingual language proficiency is needed, having served as a qualified interpreter at the San Juan County Court for the past five years. I believe the Town of Friday Harbor and the entire county will be making a critical choice in coming years to develop a thriving economy or allow stagnation to overcome us. We are a semi-isolated community which must take maximum advantage of the game-changing economic opportunities provided by state of the art internet connections and other high tech related innovations. This can benefit all of us without tampering with the natural beauty of our islands. I hope the voters of District 3 will consider my qualifications and enthusiasm for the honor of representing them.

What’s wrong with county gov’t?

Terrific time at Teddy Bear Picnic

Imagine . . . How bad can it be to work as the administrator of San Juan County? It seems like a dream job and it pays top dollar. Imagine moving to these Islands to finish up a successful career in government. Imagine getting paid $15,000 each month to do it! How much stress and “BS” could you put up with for that much money? Imagine that you only have a few years left before you retire. You just finished building your island dream home. It’s a bad time to sell it and you could lose your investment. If you could stick it out a bit longer the economy might improve and you could retire in comfort. How bad do things have to be for you to pack up and leave? Imagine that you found a new job. It’s a good job but you must give up your island dreams and take a pay cut. How screwed-up can things be in San Juan County government for you to decide to chuck it all and go back to the mainland and work in a crowded city full of gridlock and gas fumes? It must be real bad. This county government structure obviously isn’t working. Can you imagine changing this situation so that our future leaders can succeed? I hope you can. Please take time to read and understand the changes recommended to our charter government structure and vote

After reading about the Teddy Bear Picnic event in last weeks paper I knew my 4 yr old daughter would love it and it would be the perfect mother/daughter outing for her, my 9 month old daughter and myself. I was not let down either, the activities were perfect for young kids. My daughter had a wonderful time and I was amazed at how both my girls attention was held by the gentlemen singing and reading a story. I also thought it was so nice that they gave a teddy bear and book to all the kids that attended the event. All day Sunday my daughter was hugging her bear and saying “I love my teddy bear”. Now that it priceless! Thank you for a wonderful experience. Angela Wood Oak Harbor

What I do mind are smokers who toss their butts in the street, grind them out with their feet, then just leave the old filters there. Who do they think is going to pick them up?

Proud of FHHS senior projects

We just returned from serving as community panel members for the senior exhibitions at Friday Harbor High School. What a positive and rewarding experience it was to watch seniors discussing their high school experiences, successes, challenges, community projects and future plans. The project covers four years of high school progress through the advisement class and culminates with the exhibition just prior to graduation. Islanders can be proud of the efforts of teachers and staff at Friday Harbor High because to watch these students is to see the tremendous impact the school has had on each of them. Real telling was when four seniors were asked: “ If you could change one thing about FHHS, what would it be?” There was stunned silence and the students could not come up with an improvement, which is a huge testimony to the quality of the overall experience the students encountered. Well done Friday Harbor High! It was a privilege to participate. Mike and Sue Buettell San Juan Island

Editorial

Tsunami debris reminds us of life’s vulnerability When a reader sent us a picture of a survey stake with Japanese writing, it looked like possible debris from the March 11, 2011 tsunami in Japan. We searched the Internet to find what other fragments have been coming toward the West Coast, and what we found was troubling. The most recent item was a Harley-Davidson, with Japanese plates from one of the hardest hit areas, found on the Haida Gwaii Islands on the North Coast of British Columbia. This motorcycle emerged from the ocean like a ghost, enduring a disaster that more than 15,000 people did not survive. It’s been more than a year since the disaster hit Japan, but experts say remnants of

the tsunami will continue drifting onto the shores of the Pacific Northwest for decades to come. Join oceanographer Dr. Jan Newton, who will be discussing how to prepare for the arrival of debris on the islands, Sunday, June 3, 4-5:30 p.m. at the San Juan Grange. And as more items appear from that disaster, we ask you: what does it mean that our reminder of how vulnerable life is comes in the form of trash, rusty boats and motorcycles, fishing nets, chunks of wood and plastic? Is this what humans have left behind to tell their stories? If a tsunami hit Orcas Island, what pieces of our lives would be found floating in the ocean, washing ashore in communities halfway around the globe?

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration urges people to be careful when picking up debris or anything else on the shorelines. Watch sharp objects that could cut your hands; avoid picking up sealed containers of chemicals – they may crack or break; report any full drum on the beach and avoid handling it. If you find a remnant from the tsunami, take a moment to think about where it came from and who held it in their hands. Our lives can change in a heartbeat, and sometimes it’s the strangest things that remind us of life’s fragility. Report possible tsunami debris to DisasterDebris@ noaa.gov.

Guest Column

Memorial Day “There is no vaccine for stupidity…” By Howard Schonberger

When you get into your nineties and reminisce about Memorial Days you’ve seen, it is quite a panoply of scenes. My dad Ed always had my brother and I watching parades back in Omaha, Nebraska, where we moved when his general store burned down (and the fire insurance company turned out to be a fraud). The crooks went to jail and my Dad started over in the city in which he and my Mom were born. I remember my brother Stan and I with big spoons and kettles as noisemakers yelling out: “Hoch der kaisar!” a popular chant after World War I. The most popular song I remember was “Mademoiselle from Armentiers, Parlez Vous” with its naughty lyrics ending up with “Hinky Dinky, Parlez Vous!” My dad’s cousins started a big chain of “Hinky Dinky” grocery stores to compete with “Piggely Wiggely” and “Atlantic & Pacific”...a great success in the midwest. The midwest was very much against getting into World War II after the Great Depression came along. “All Quiet On the Western Front” by Remarque and “Verdun” by Romaine were two strong books on the futility of the battles of attrition during World War I when tens of thousands of troops fought and died for days, weeks, months and years for little more territory than is contained by our county. Then the anschluss of Hitler and Mussolini started to take over one country after another in Europe, the Mideast and North Africa. FDR, formerly secretary of the Navy, heard what was happening in the Holocaust. My cousin, Irv, joined the commandos in Canada, and the German-American Bund decided to break all the windows in Mademoiselle Bozell’s house in Omaha. (Our football team got wind of it and we were waiting for them in ambush to ward them off from that desecration of our popular French teacher’s home.) Even Sen. George Norris, one of four senators who voted against our entry into WWI, switched to aye after Pearl Harbor. I was at Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism when drafted; I was working as an intern at the Associated Press headquarters in Chicago. My first duty was in the Bay Area in a Regular Army outfit. As one of their first draftees I was a target for the first sergeant of that outfit. Fortunately, my dad had taught me to box and the sarge had me put on the gloves every opportunity he could. Then he put me in charge of a special “shock troop” defense unit to meet the Japanese when they landed. We used to run across the Golden Gate bridge on “maneuvers” from the Presidio Beach in San Francisco to Ft. Cronkhite, where we were based. I saw a poster on the bulletin board asking for volunteers for overseas duty. I signed immediately. I figured I’d have a better chance overseas. I wound up on a little island on the Pacific side of Panama. My brother went into Europe with the 8th Infantry Division at Normandy, and then the Bulge. I put in for Infantry OCS and came back to Fort Benning. About 66% made it. My worst memory is when our graduating class came to Ft. Meade and the bottom half of the alphabet, N through Z, were kept there to replace officers who had been there for two years or more.I replaced a lieutenant with a wife and two children. Three of us went to the commanding general to object. We were not married. The general kicked us out saying “you will do what you are ordered to do.” The first lieutenant I replaced, Lt. Charest, was killed a few weeks later in the Battle of the Bulge. Most of the guys who washed out of our graduating class were pipelined into the Bulge and were lost also. At least half of the A through M graduates were either wounded (including future VP Bob Dole) or killed. We who were N through Z had one suicide and some were recalled for service during the Korean conflict, as I was. ‘Small wonder that most of the vets I know think “there, but for the Grace of God, go I” when we see a young man or woman in uniform. Go with the F.L.O.W. (Ferry Lovers Of Washington).

Former administrator weighs in on three and six seat issue for county By Don Pollard

Now that whooping cough has popped up again and we “older” ones are reminded to get a booster shot, it comes to mind that another old clunker has popped up, and there is no innoculation for it. What I am talking about is the idea that “three bosses are better than one.” This idea was spawned out of a hurricane in Galveston, Texas, and it took almost a century for the so-called brainchild of that disaster to be recognized as a disaster of a different kind for county government. It probably did more than anything else to contribute to the label for counties as “the dark continent of American government.” The dubious title of “Last to Abandon” is shared by Portland, Oregon’s Multnomah County. Now it appears that our own elected charter review members have rediscovered the “Three Boss” idea and want to suggest it for San Juan County. Well, it seems “to ignore history is to relive it” fits. I find it difficult to pan the proposals of the Charter Review Committee because they are made up of friends who we all elected. But it does seem that they have rushed to judgment in their first meeting and have failed to consider a few serious questions. First, it is difficult to find any multi-million dollar business that has three CEOs. True, you can have multi-member boards of directors, but they are not responsible for the dayto-day operation of their company.

That task is assigned to one person, the chief executive officer, or in the case of governments, the chief administrative officer. And the reason it is assigned to one person is to ensure accountability. Our current charter does just that. So, if the system does not seem to be working, you look at the people running it, not the system. Don Pollard Elected officials are responsible for balancing the general good of the county and not expected to be full-time specialists in one area of government or another. Neither are they supposed to be special interest representatives of one island or one group. Running a local government is no small task. It requires a well-trained and qualified person with experience from other counties or cities. It also requires that person to have the authority to act, including hiring and firing employees and setting administrative standards of conduct. You pay for this talent, and it is worth it. So why pay three full-time elected officials to muddle with this task, when their combined salary could ensure a qualified administrator? There is no vaccine for stupidity, but there is time to rethink. Maybe the existing Home Rule Charter isn’t so bad. But just in case there is a rethinking, someone needs to ask Randy Gaylord (county prosecuting attorney) how in the world do you meet the “one man, one vote” rule when one island commissioner has 1/6th and another 1/3rd of the population? — Editor's note: A 20-year resident of San Juan Island, Don Pollard is a former city administrator and public administration executive.

Community immunity – taking care of each other By Iris Graville

Here’s what we islanders do for each other. We make meals when a new baby arrives or when someone goes through chemotherapy. When a family’s house burns down, we give shelter and help build a new one. Some of us mentor school kids, others drive shuttle buses for seniors, and many serve on the boards of nonprofits. But we’re missing the boat when it comes to one important way to help our communities – immunizations. Earlier this year, two health reports singled out San Juan County. The first, a survey by the University of Wisconsin’s Population Health Institute, named ours the healthiest county in Washington State, citing our low rates of adult obesity and smoking. Around the same time, the “New England Journal of Medicine” reported that San Juan County is the worst in the nation when it comes to vaccinating children, with only 28 percent of kindergarteners and 11 percent of sixth graders meeting school vaccine requirements. These numbers are troubling in light of Gov. Gregoire’s recent announcement of a statewide pertussis (whooping cough) epidemic. She projects we’re headed for 3,000 cases this year, an alarming jump over the 965 reported in 2011. Pertussis is a highly contagious bacterial infection that usually starts with mild cold symptoms. For young children, it typically causes uncontrollable coughing spells, followed by gagging or vomiting and a “whoop” sound.

Infants are most vulnerable for severe complications and death. Last year, 38 Washington infants were hospitalized with pertussis, and two died (including a baby in nearby Everett).

San Juan County is the worst in the nation when it comes to vaccinating children, with only 28 percent of kindergarteners and 11 percent of sixth graders meeting school vaccine requirements. Our community is at risk. School immunization reports indicate just over half of San Juan County kindergartners were adequately immunized against pertussis for the 2010–2011 school year. A vaccine for adolescents and adults (TDap – tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) is available, too, but vaccination rates for this group are even worse than those for young children. And that’s a worry for prevention efforts. Since the disease often is less severe for older youth and adults, they may unknowingly pass it on those around them. Some people are susceptible to vac-

cine-preventable diseases like pertussis because they decline immunizations. As a school nurse and former immunization nurse, I’ve answered parents’ doubts that diseases like polio and measles still exist (they do and in some places are on the rise); I’ve heard fears about a study linking measles vaccines and autism (the report was retracted, and the doctor involved lost his license); and I’m aware that some perceive school vaccine requirements as government intrusion. Others, though, can’t receive this preventive care even if they wanted to. The vaccination isn’t given to babies under two months because their immature immune systems can’t respond. Older children and adults whose immune systems are weak because of illness or aging can’t be vaccinated, either. Here’s where our helping spirit comes in. When enough of us get our vaccinations, we benefit even those who don’t. Such “community immunity” cuts the spread of diseases like pertussis to our vulnerable neighbors. In response to the pertussis epidemic, San Juan County Health and Community Services has scheduled drop-in TDap immunization clinics (Friday Harbor - May 29, 2-6 p.m.; Lopez – May 29, 1-6 p.m.; Orcas May 31, 11-6 p.m). Now it’s time for us to do our part to achieve community immunity. Get immunized. It’s what we islanders do for each other. — Iris Graville, RN, MN is the school nurse for the Orcas Island School District as well as a writer living on Lopez Island.

Springtime is bird time in the San Juans By Peggy Butler

Aloha time on our island? It’s starting. Tourist season, longer ferry lines, more congestion on Spring Street, more smiling, excited people dangling cameras around their necks—and at American Camp a lot of the ‘service’ part of the forest service rolls into motion. I have to admit that I love this time of year when the islands come alive with lucky visitors. And Saturday morning we were the lucky ones treated to a view of nestling eaglets. Hidden in a bathtub-sized nest high above a trail in the park the two scrubby looking, really bed-headed big little eaglets were lolling around while mother eagle stood sentinel in a nearby tree top. Even with the naked eye these baby birds were big. We had casually stepped into the visitor center where we asked Douglas Halsey if he knew where there might be some bird nests in the park. With no more warning than that Doug grabbed volunteer Bill Polto and a tripod mounted monocular –and led Expedition Eagle Find. We stopped at a pleasant but nondescript part of a nondescript trail where Doug and Bill pointed out the partially visible nest—partially visible if you knew just where to look. For the next 45 minutes we watched fascinated as the two eaglets variously

anticipates the arrival of debris from the 2011 Japanese tsunami, islanders are left with questions and concerns like what’s predicted to arrive, when it will arrive, how to identify hazardous material, what to do with culturally significant items, where to take collected debris, and how to help. A lecture led by oceanographer Dr. Jan Newton and Stewardship Network volunteers will be held Sunday, June 3, 4-5:30 p.m. at the San Juan Grange. The lecture will include information about ocean currents, storm patterns, and the potential arrival of tsunami marine debris to the San Juans. Most current models predict that the major impact will be to the outer coast, and the San Juans are not likely to be heavily affected. Once materials arrive to our

shoreline, models indicate that they will accumulate in the southern areas of San Juan, Lopez and Shaw. Over the last several months, islanders on San Juan and Orcas have collected material with Japanese writing. While confirming its origin is uncertain, the debris indicates the need for preparation. Friends of the San Juans is recruiting volunteers for a Tsunami Debris Beach Collection Project. To volunteer, call 378-2319. San Juan County transfer stations will continue to take beach debris free of charge. Call 911 if you find hazardous material. Anyone who finds suspected tsunami debris is asked to contact the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration at DisasterDebris@noaa.gov Newton’s lecture is spon-

Upcoming Prevention Coalition meeting

The Prevention Coalition meeting is Friday, June 15, 11:30 a.m. - 2 p.m., at the Friday Harbor Presbyterian Church. Lunch will be provided. “We will continue our dia-

logue regarding traffic fatalities and injuries in San Juan County,” say organizers. Last month Gregg Dietzman had a dialogue with the coalition regarding his concerns about SJC being rated among the highest in the state for fatalities. They also discussed consequences to drinking and drivingrelated fatalities and injuries. The question that continues to rise to the surface in meetings is whether the degree of the punishment meets the degree of criminal action. There also seems to be a concern regarding the sentences related to drug trafficking offenders.

Spring Playoff Update Our spring teams are quickly approaching the District 1 playoff portion of their seasons. The District 1 Tournament is used to determine the seeding of the 1A teams located in District 1. There are six 1A teams in District 1, (with the exception of tennis, baseball & fastpitch), but they play in 3 different leagues. To determine which teams move forward to the Tri-District tournament, we hold a sub-district tournament. While the tournaments look different logistically because of the sport involved, the outcome is the same. The District 1 (sub-district) tournament determines the number of teams and the order for which they move on to the Tri-District tournament. Below is an update of each fall team’s playoff outline. Boys & Girls Golf –This past week, three members of the golf team advanced from the District tournament to the Tri-District event. Kendra Meeker will compete Tuesday and Wednesday at The Home Course in Dupont. For more information including tournament pairings, visit the state website at www.wiaa.com Boys & Girls Track –Wille Blackmon and Aaron Prager each qualified for the state track last Saturday during the TriDistrict meet at Kings HS. Wille will advance in the 300 intermediate hurdles, and Aaron advanced in the long jump. Qualifying for the state track meet means each is one of the top 16 athletes in their event for the entire 1A classification.

Do you remember when the rabbits were so thick on the island that it seemed as if a whole field would get up and move? Did you ever ride in a “bunny buggie” and net rabbits by searchlight at night? If not you probably missed out on a period when rabbits were a large part of life on San Juan Island. Recently (April 22nd), at an informal Sunday afternoon get-together at the Grange sponsored by the San Juan Historical Museum, oldtimers gathered to trade stories and fill in part of history unknown to many current island residents How did rabbits end up on San Juan Island? There are no written records of rabbits on the island prior to the nineteenth century. According to some sources, a Mr. Breedlove and H. and R. Guard introduced several domestic breeds to the island in 1903. (Although there were several Breedloves on the island, the most likely is Albert M., coincidentally elected the first Master of the Friday Harbor Grange #225 when it was formed in 1908.) During the 1910s, the San Juan Islander recorded several stories of hunters shooting rabbits on Flat Top and Skipjack islands, and even had this report about Dinner Island: “Three well-known Friday Harbor young men have discovered that Dinner island rabbits are choice and expensive. The bunnies belong to James Guard and one of the Jensen brothers, who leased the island some time ago for a rabbit reserve. The young men in question killed eight of them Christmas day and the sport (?) is said to have cost each of them $5. The rabbits were so tame that one of the hunters whose marksmanship wasn’t equal to shooting one found no difficulty in killing it with the butt of his gun. They did not know the rabbits were private property.” (San Juan Islander December 31, 1903 p. 5). However, most of these rabbits seem to have died off after a particularly severe winter in 1916. The major population of rabbits came about when Howard Wilson and a Mr. Miller started a rabbit farm on Cady Mountain in 1925, with several domestic breeds of rabbits from Seattle. Although they raised the rabbits in fenced fields for several years, they released about 3,000 in 1934 when their venture failed. Left to breed in the wild, the animals soon reverted back

to their ancestral type, the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculis). The rabbits thrived, so much so that they became a serious threat to island agriculture, eating crops and digging their burrows in the fields. In response to this invasion, islanders sought to reduce the population, and impact, of the rabbits, principally through hunting. Hal Rogers, a game warden who later ran hunting parties at The Oaks, did an informal survey of rabbit hunting on San Juan in 1960. He interviewed 638 hunters that year, only 23 of whom failed to get a rabbit. Using either shotguns or .22 rifles, and occasionally bowand-arrow, the average monthly bag was 4-17 per hunter, with more than a thousand rabbits killed in August of that year. J. Adkins, in a 1971 Washington State Game Department memo, estimated that there were about a million rabbits on San Juan Island, with an annual hunting kill totaling from 42,000126,000, or 4.2-12.6% of the population. A popular method of hunting, promoted by Rogers when he welcomed hunters to The Oaks in the 1960s, was with a “rabbit car” (Rogers called his a “Bunny Buggie”) at night. Islanders converted old cars and trucks—aficionados claimed the Model A was the best, because it “could take a terrible beating”—by stripping off the back part and welding bucket seats onto the sides for riders. Netting crews usually consisted of three to

four people: a driver, a spotter with a handheld electric light, and one or two netters who sat on the seats. The driver would guide the rabbit car through the fields at night at what felt like a fast clip—20 mph—until the spotter shined a light on a rabbit, at which point one of the netters would jump off and, going around the other side of the rabbit, net it. The captured animals were then put into cages lashed to the back of the car. Using this method, an hundred or more rabbits could be secured each night. Rogers promoted hunting, and rabbit netting in particular, at The Oaks. A map of the island that he published at the time indicates various areas that were good for hunting, and listed the various fees, from housing (camping for $2 and two-person cabins for $5) to hunting ($1) and “netting with experienced guides” ($25 for a party of five). He even took orders for rabbits: $.75 live, $1.00 dressed. Rogers widely advertised rabbit hunting at The Oaks, including on a billboard outside of Anacortes. The vast majority of the rabbit hunting land was private, and farmers would often charge hunters for either going out by themselves or with guides. Although rabbits were not considered a game animal, poaching of deer or pheasants was subject to severe fines ($250 for hunting deer without a license in the 1960s!), and either trespassing or shooting from the road were serious concerns.

Jo Anne Campbell, speaking for her mother Renie Vandersluys: “The local golf course, owned by the Jackson family, was fairly new and the rabbits loved it. They tunneled the fairways and partied on the greens, leaving a carpet of droppings. The Pro Shop sold little brooms to be carried in the golf bags. After chipping onto the green, these brooms were used to sweep a path for putting to the hole.”

Marty Percich: “I graduated in ‘44 here and I earned all of my spending money netting rabbits so all during the last part of the 30s and the early 40s I was out every night. Ninety rabbits was a good night. I got 10 cents a rabbit.” Guard Sundstrom: “We charged people to go hunting, ….and one time there wasn’t any money in [the rabbit] jar and I wasn’t going to go to the dance–you know, the dance was $2.50 I think—and luckily rabbit hunters came by that day and I got five bucks. I was tour guide and I’d come out and show them where to hunt rabbits. So I went to the dance.”

Help islander win superhero outfit award

Inaugural Works of heART

Aaron D’Errico, of Friday Harbor has submitted a design in a Talenthouse contest to design an original superhero outfit, judged by comic book icon Stan Lee, creator of SpiderMan, The Avengers, Ironman, and the Hulk. D’Errico, 33, graduated from Friday Harbor High School in 1998. D’Errico is being mentored by Paul Chadwick of “Concrete” comic book fame, and is also a singer and a DJ. His desire to become an illustrator really caught fire after receiving encouragement from Lee at the Emerald City Comic-Con in March. In fact, he took on the disc jockey moniker “DJ Hero” in honor of Lee. “My goal is to prove Stan, Paul, and everyone who believes in me, right,” said D’Errico. D’Errico has placed in the top 20 three times in different Talenthouse/Stan Lee contests. In 2011, he placed 14th out of 20 in the world for his “soccer hero.” “My hope is to win this [upcoming] contest and make my family and friends proud,” he said. To vote for D’Errico visit www.talenthouse.com/design-for-laidback-luke-stan-

The Westcott Bay Ciderworks and San Juan Island Distillery are welcoming the new summer season with tastings of seasonal nettle gin and pommeau. Pommeau is a blend of the ciderworks’ award-winning hard cider and the distillery’s apple brandy with fresh apple juice, then briefly aged in oak barrels. The result is a complex layering of sweet, fruity, and sharp all at once. Nettle gin is the latest seasonal variation of the island-inspired “Spy Hop” gin. The hand-harvested early spring stinging nettles add a sweet grassy flavor to the already-amazing aromas and taste to the gin. To celebrate these two new offerings and the first anniversary of the distillery, the distillery and ciderworks will both be open for tastings from 3 to 5 p.m. on

This year’s celebrity lineup includes actor John Aylward (you’ve seen him on ER and the West Wing, among many other shows), sports columnist Jim Moore, Sonny Sixkiller, Dave Villwock, Craig Tyrrell, Lisa Moretti and many other athletes and notables. Three-time PGA winner Ken Still from Tacoma will provide golfing tips and regale attendees with stories of his years on the PGA tour and as a member of the U.S. Ryder Cup team. Chaired by Pat O’Day, events begin on June 1 with the CenturyTel Pro-am Horserace, followed by the CenturyTel Celebrity Reception. On Saturday, June 2, after a short golf clinic provided by Ken Still at 9:30, a “shotgun start” at 10:00 puts all 18 teams on the course. Each four-person team is paired with a visiting celebrity and will play for the honor of having their names posted on the John Linde Memorial Plaque, which will be exhibited at Islanders Bank. After golf, celebrities, players and guests are invited to a cocktail hour at 5:00 p.m. with appetizers provided by local restaurants, followed at 6:00 p.m. by the traditional salmon barbeque, featuring 400 pounds of salmon provided by San Juan Seafoods and prepared by Chef John Vevjoda. An auction follows with Boo Boo Keane doing the auctioneering. Among the non-profits benefitting from the event are Compass Health, Family Source, the Mullis Senior

HOW A BELOVED SEATTLE MARKET HELPS TO FEED THE NEEDS OF

AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

When the owners of Uwajimaya Market wanted to relocate and enlarge an existing store in downtown Seattle, they turned to Bank of America. Since the 1950s, they’ve relied on us for financing to expand their operations, open new locations and grow their business. As a result, they’ve been able to better serve their customers, provide more jobs and strengthen their role as a focal point for the region’s diverse Asian community. Uwajimaya Market is another example of how we’re working to help small businesses grow and hire in the Puget Sound — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222.5 million in new credit to small businesses in Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010.
