Council calls for review of proposed coal terminal

By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

The San Juan Islands and surrounding waterways should be included as part of the official study of environmental impacts from the proposed Gateway Pacific coal terminal in Whatcom County, according to the San Juan County Council On June 26, the county council unanimously approved sending a letter to Brigadier Gen. John McMahon, commander of the Northwestern Division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, requesting that an area-wide environmental impact statement be conducted that would “address the cumulative impacts of new coal terminals in the Pacific Northwest, including the

Gateway Pacific Terminal.”

A n A r e a - w i d e Environmental Impact Statement would include the San Juan Islands and might extend through the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the ocean.

Drafted by Councilwoman Lovel Pratt, the letter states: “The AEIS should include a comprehensive analysis of impacts to water quality, air quality, listed species, critical habitat, and aquatic resources, and well as impacts to public health and the local economy.”

The letter is a follow-up to a Feb. 28 letter sent to the Army Corps, the state Department of Ecology and Whatcom County asking that scoping meetings for the EIS be held in San Juan County.

The locations and dates for the scoping meetings, which

will include a determination whether an area-wide EIS will be required by the Corps, have yet to be announced.

SSA Marine submitted a permit application in March to build a coal export facility capable of exporting 48 million tons per year, according to Climate Solutions, a nonprofit organization based in Olympia, Wash.

Opponents of the terminal say the increase in rail traffic would impact health and safety and pose economic risks to communities across the region, and that coal export could fuel climate change and add to global mercury pollution.

Proponents of the terminal say it will provide jobs in a county where there is not a lot of room for industrial growth.

Slide guitar KING Roy Rogers & the Delta Rhythm Kings come to Lopez

By Colleen Smith Armstrong Sounder Editor/Publisher

Not long after Roy Rogers picked up a guitar at age 12, he was playing with the high schoolers. A few years later, when his older brother brought home Robert Johnson’s “King of the Delta Blues Singers” album, his whole life changed.

“It blew my mind,” Roger said. “I heard slide guitar for the first time.”

Ever since then, he has been a disciple of Johnson.

Rogers will make his first appearance at Lopez Center this summer. He is one of the premier slide guitarists performing today, well

Tractors are owned by mem-

studies and acquisition of a Federal Communications Commission licensed frequency.

Wireless Ordinance Last week, the county council passed a revised Wireless Ordinance defining Joint-Use Wireless Facilities. These are facilities that can provide support for multiple public services on one utility pole, including electrical power management and public safety radio communications, according to OPALCO. The broadband component of these systems could be used to provide true highspeed internet ser vice countywide, and could improve cell phone coverage if the cellular providers agree to use these facilities.

OPALCO said the adoption of the Wireless Ordinance

was accomplished through a thorough public process that included public testimony, legal review and many thoughtful hours of council member time and attention.

Completion of feasibility studies Initial technical studies are complete and OPALCO staff members will be fieldtesting potential equipment and pole locations as they refine the system design.

“We are working with industry experts to develop potential business models for board consideration – and the numbers continue to be the most challenging aspect of the project,” said OPALCO staff. “The board is committed to finding a solution that makes sense for the co-op model and for the membership.”

FCC licensed frequency Meetings to discuss the acquisition of a FCC licensed frequency have been positive, according to OPALCO and OPALCO is hopeful that an agreement could be reached in the next few months. Much of the system design (including actual coverage, capacity, number of poles and pole locations) is dependent on the frequency that would be deployed. Once an agreement is reached for a specific frequency range, a final system design can be developed.

Public forums held on four islands in May were well attended and have started a public dialogue on the project. There has been positive and negative feedback from members about the Broadband

Initiative, and the board is also considering concerns that have been raised about the potential cost burden to members, their issues with RF emissions and the potential role of the co-op as an Internet service provider.

All feedback is being carefully reviewed as the board moves toward a decision, said OPALC0 staff.

July 21 for a three-mile hike around Cranberry Lake in the Anacortes Community Forest. Walkers will experience this jewel of a lake not known by many from the San Juans, yet is under two miles from the Anacortes ferry terminal. This serene little lake has only one road access with trails galore. We will circumnavigate the lake with a

ridge trail climb of about 100 feet in elevation. There is an optional second loop southeast of the lake with views of Big Beaver Pond with its extensive spread of lily pads.

There are short sections of steep trail, but they are in good condition. All are wel-

Undersheriff bids adieu after 24 years

After 44 years in law enforcement, Jon Zerby looks forward to a bit of down time at home.

“Future plans?” Zerby replies when asked what’s next. “None really. I’ll probably spend some time working on the house. There’s a

lot to do there.”

Colleagues, friends and a parade of public officials bid Zerby farewell June 29 at a retirement celebration at the Mullis Street fire station.

From Santa Barbara to Atlanta, to Salem, Ore., Zerby traveled far and wide in more than four decades as a law enforcement official. He was stationed at Fort Lewis 24 years ago, assigned to the military police, when former sheriff Bill Cumming persuaded him to join the local force.

Promoted to undersheriff in 1998, he has been the department’s second-incommand for 14 years, its primary animal control officer the past 13, and played a lead role in helping to craft the “dangerous dogs” laws in effect in both the county and in Friday Harbor.

Blackberry Bushes to perform at Woodmen Hall

On Fri. July 27, 7:30 p.m., the Blackberry Bushes will perform at Woodmen Hall.

The Blackberry Bushes hail from the rain-drenched forests of Olympia, Wash. They take a bluegrass instrumentation, draw from the deep roots of American folk music and add influences from bluegrass, Appalachian old-time, and Indie Rock, to jazz, pop and alternative country.

Tickets are $15 adults, kids free 12 and under, 12-16 - $8.

“Their blend of traditional Bluegrass and Folk elements with more contemporary sounds has an appeal not seen since Nickel Creek or The Be Good Tanyas,” according to Joseph Kyle of “The Big Takeover.”

Correction In the July 3 edition of the paper a portion of the “solid waste” story was cut off, it should have read, “According to Larry Eppenbach, district secretary, the district’s advisory board nominees told the council that failure is not an option.” This quote is in regards to the Lopez Island’s drop box and self-haul facility being operated by a local Solid Waste Disposal District.

NOTICE OF BUDGET HEARING AND ADOPTION LOPEZ ISLAND SCHOOL DISTRICT 144

By Cali Bagby

The raindrops fall on your roof and down onto the pavement as if the clouds are wringing out a giant sponge.

The mornings and afternoons meld together with the same melancholy gray.

Weather experts say that temperatures should rise by mid-July, but for days when the sun is surrounded by gloom, here are a few reads from island experts to give you a vacation from the dreary days.

And even when the sun comes out, these books give you an even better excuse to lounge and catch some vitamin D rays.

“Gertrude Bell: Queen of the Desert, Shaper of Nations,” by Georgina Howell tells the story of an adventurous and strong

spirited woman, whose work in the Middle East has been often overshadowed by the famous Lawrence of Arabia. But it was Gertrude who broke not only gender and class barriers, but also played a vital role in the formation of Iraq – all while enduring the sweltering heat.

“Jaguar: One Man’s Struggle To Establish The World’s First Jaguar Preser ve,”

by Alan Rabinowitz takes readers into the rain forest of Belize and gives you a rare and exhilarating story written by a boy that could only speak to animals, who later becomes the jaguar’s biggest champion.

“Swimming to Antarctica: Tales of a Long-distance Swimmer,”

by Lynne Cox. If you think it

has been cold this summer on the island, Lynne Cox describes the painstaking training it took her to submerge into ice cold waters.

She also shares tales of getting her hand stuck in a dead dog in the Nile and being the first person to swim the shark-infested waters of the Cape of Good Hope.

“Let’s Take the Long Way Home,” by Gail Caldwell follows two writers who love water and dogs.

They forge a friendship and struggle with universals subjects such as needing someone and the grief of losing that person, which the author refers to as the “terrible gift of death.” Half of the book will have you smiling, while the other half will leave you in tears.

“War,” by Sebastian

Junger. What better way to endure a cold summer than to read about one of the most horrific places in Afghanistan: the Korengal Valley in 2008. Junger, author of “The Perfect Storm,” delves into the life of American soldiers in the unbearable heat and fatal days of combat.

FISCAL YEAR BUDGET 2012-2013 Notice is hereby given by the school directors of Lopez Island School District No. 144, San Juan County, Washington, that the board of directors will meet for the purpose of a public hearing and adoption of the budget of the district for the 2012-2013 school year. The meeting will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 25, 2012 as part of the regular monthly board meeting, in the Lopez Island School District library, Lopez Island, Washington.

Any person may appear at the meeting and be heard for or against the budget or any part thereof. A draft budget document is on file in the school district administration office and the Lopez Island Public Library and will be furnished to any person who will call upon the district for it.

known for his live performances and John Lee Hooker’s Coast to Coast Blues Band. Rogers and his band The Delta Rhythm Kings will perform July 15, 7:30 p.m. at Lopez Center for Community and the Arts.

Tickets in advance are $18 for adults, $10 for youth and are at the center’s office, and at www.lopezcenter.org, Paper Scissors on the Rock, Blossoms Organic Grocery and Lopez Book Store.

Tickets at door are adult $18 and youth $10.

“We’re really spontaneous,” he said. “Having a power trio, the music takes a lot of twists and turns. I always tell people to bring their dancing shoes.”

Rogers, who lives in California, says the music is

blues-based but also covers jazz and funk. Their repertoire is split between originals and covers. He has performed at numerous music festivals throughout the world, including Montreal Jazz, Norway’s Notodden Blues Festival and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Prior to coming to Lopez, Rogers is opening up for Steve Miller.

In May of 2011, he released a collaboration with The Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek entitled “Translucent Blues” available on Blind Pig Records. It debuted at #6 on the Billboard charts, and reached #1 on the American Roots Rock Chart.

Rolling Stone has written, “Rogers is an exceptionally articulate slide guitarist, either he’s scorching Robert Johnson’s ‘Ramblin’ Blues’ or taking a lovely, lyrical journey … or rockin’ it out. One of the rare guitar

heroes who values feeling over flash.”

Slide guitar is tuned to an open chord, allowing the musician to play the melody, base and rhythm all at the same time.

“I have established a style that I am known for,” Rogers said. “You have to hear to appreciate it – I can’t describe it.”

While he enjoys current music – Norah Jones is one of his favorites – Rogers says he is a “classics” guy, who is most inspired by such musicians as Hooker, Johnson, Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley and Little Richard.

“John Lee Hooker could walk on stage, sit in his chair, play one note and the audience was with him. That is powerful stuff,” Rogers said.

A look at a previous tractor tour on Lopez, which is a tradition that began in 2004.

Green and yellow antique two-cylinder tractors will arrive on Lopez, 10:15 a.m. via ferry on Saturday, July 21.

This will be the Fifth Semi-annual Tractor Tour of Lopez, a tradition which began in 2004. Tractors are owned by members of the sponsor Cascade Two-Cylinder Club based in Skagit and Whatcom counties.

“We are anticipating the arrival of 15 to 25 tractors plus visiting family members and friends,” say organizers.

Tractors will line up at the ferry landing after the arrival and then tour backroads to stop for lunch in the Village. Tractors will gather and park on Lopez Community Center grounds from about 12 until 2 p.m.

Viewing by the public is invited.

Tour will commence again and continue until about 4 p.m. Tractors will gather at Hill Farm, home of Phil and Jean Weinheimer for a club-member supper.

Tractor will tour again about 6 p.m. to return to the ferry landing for departure at 7:35 p.m. Good viewing locations include the ferry landing, village, community center and along Port Stanley Road in Swifts Bay

and along Fisherman Bay Road and Bayshore Road on the peninsula. Routes and schedule are being planned and will be announced. Organizers on Lopez include Ken Rose, Bob Burt, Phil Weinheimer and Jim Smith. Volunteers will help with roadside flagging, parking and preparing and serving supper.

Lopez Two-Cylinder Club is one of many antique John Deere tractor enthusiast clubs in the U.S. and other countries.

Owners enjoy restoration projects, plow days, tours and displays of their machines and sharing their interests with younger people as means to preserve farming heritage. CT-C Club sponsors many club events in Skagit and Whatcom counties and participates in community parades and public displays throughout the year.

Club information may be found at www. cascadetwocyliinderclub.org.

The storytelling begins at 2 p.m. from OPALCO’s mobile 1937 living room set.

The year-long 75th anniversary celebration honors the co-op family members (longest- standing members, past and present staff and board members) who have helped build the strong, reliable electric co-op that we all enjoy today, said OPALCO staff.

Limited edition gifts such as canvas tote bags and wall thermometers featuring the work of Orcas artist Frank Loudin, lapel pins, mugs and copies of the 75th Anniversary

Historical Publication will be distributed to all members, while supplies last.

For the full 75th anniversar y experience, visit OPALCO’s historical website at www.opalco.com/history to explore a historical timeline, galleries of stories, photos and videos. Visit and “like�

OPALCO’s new Facebook page, where you can share your own OPALCO story, photos or memorabilia. The next stop for the 75th Anniversary celebration and story-telling booth will be the county fair in August. Let us know if you have a story to tell. OPALCO will continue to collect member stories and publish them on the historical website to become part of OPALCO’s living legacy.

OPALCO is the cooperative electrical utility serving more than 11,000 co-op member-owners on 20 islands in San Juan County. It provides electricity that is 95 percent greenhousegas free and is predominately generated by hydro-electric plants.

New Forge at The Galley, July 14 New Forge will make a debut visit to Lopez Island for a performance at the Galley on Saturday, July 14 at 9 p.m. New Forge is an innovative acoustic/electric group, melding forms of new and roots music with mandolin, guitar, bass and drums to create infectious dance sets comprised of barreling bluegrass improvisations, funk and rock grooves and modern acoustic compositions. Founded in the farms and clubs of the Olympic Peninsula, New Forge honed its sound in Seattle and surrounding areas.

New Forge shows are front-loaded with the songwriting of founder Matt Sircely of Port Townsend,Wash., whose work as a traditional and improvisational mandolinist, recently appeared on the cover of “Mandolin Magazine.� Sircely has performed with many of his mentors – from David Grisman to David Bromberg, and is working on a solo recording under the production of banjo legend Danny Barnes.

Drummer Joseph Mascorella grew up at Alaskan bluegrass festivals before joining touring bands and playing central roles in several films. Mascorella is also an accomplished composer, vocalist and improvisor. Zeke Wakefield, one of the most naturally talented musicians to emerge from the Olympic Peninsula in a generation, has been playing bass since the inception of New Forge before recently moving to guitar, his primary instrument. On bass will be Shelton’s Martin Strand, a recent top-notch graduate from Cornish College of the Arts.

Fiddler Jon Parry will be touring in Alaska during this performance. “We play dance music, but it’s also song-oriented,�

Sircely said.

On any given night, New Forge might reference some of the earliest recorded music, a progressive bluegrass band from the ‘70s, low-down funk, classic or remixed reggae, Chicago or Delta blues, fiddle tunes, early country or western swing.

The ocean hits the shore that sounds like the wind playing hide and seek through the trees.

The clouds form together and the heavens open, the icy cold water mirrors the beauty up above.

As the sun sets and as you walk by the forest it feels like a place where you CAN believe in fairies, unicorns, and hobbits.

The orange sun shines through the trees and sets on the dew that sits on the elegant leaves created by Mother Nature, turning them gold.

This it the perfect picture to remember.

But because I didn’t put this scenery into a photograph, I put it into words, and look how beautiful they sound.

This is my escape, This is the escape.
