Inter-island boat breakdown causes widespread delays

By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

Hot sunny weather, end-ofweekend urgency (especially with tired youngsters) and less-than-timely information increased the impatience and frustration for many weekend travelers trying to depart San Juan Island.

Backups began on Saturday when the Evergreen State, being used as the inter-island boat, went dead in the water about 11 a.m. off Friday Harbor. The generator for one of two diesel-electric engines reportedly malfunctioned, setting off an automatic kill switch to both engines.

The Klahowya didn’t replace the Evergreen State until Sundayv after 3 p.m., then apparently went to Lopez and Orcas, maybe back to Anacortes, and finally made it to Friday Harbor at 8 p.m. to take the Lopez and Orcas cars to their destinations. The Yakima arrived in Friday Harbor about 8 p.m. to take a full load of cars to Anacortes, leaving at about 8:30 p.m.

Would-be ferry riders wait on the arrival of a ferry at a congested Friday Harbor ferry terminal, Sunday afternoon, following breakdown of the inter-island ferry that disrupted weekend travel in the San Juans.

Wolf Hollow strained by summer surge

It’s a good day when somebody else wants to pay for just one project in San Juan County.

So it’s “double your pleasure” day for San Juan and Lopez islands when state and federal officials announced they’ll pay for projects in each location.

On San Juan, the Washington state ferry system, and everyone else, has noticed the crowds at Front and East streets. Ferry “walk-offs” spill into the street and crowd the sidewalks, lurching in front of cars and holding up traffic as they head in all directions when coming off the ferry.

Friday Harbor Administrator Duncan Wilson said the corner of Front and East streets “is the only place in town where people and cars need another few degrees of separation so somebody doesn’t get hurt.”

During the summer, Wolf Hollow Rehabilitation Center resembles the emergency ward at a hospital. There is a room for x-rays and blood tests and quarters for injured “patients” that will be released as soon as they are healthy. Outside, a giant white board lists the types of patients currently in care at the center.

“It changes all the time,” said Shona Aitken, Wolf Hollow’s education coordinator. “It’s baby sea-

378-3937 FRIDAY HARBOR • Hours By Appointment

Merna Mae Guard: 1940 — 2012 Merna Mae Guard passed away July 31, 2012 at her home in Bermuda Dunes, Calif., after several bouts with cancer.

She was born Jan. 3, 1940, the daughter of John and Merle Jackson. She was raised in the home they built above Jackson’s Lagoon, near the salmon cannery they worked hard to establish and operate in the 1950s.

Merna was a member of the graduating class of 1958 from Friday Harbor High School. She married Dick Guard in 1961. They had two daughters, Coral and Toni.

For a number of years, Merna worked at San Juan County Bank, on Spring Street. Later, she was partnered with Jim Erickson and did bookkeeping for Friday Harbor Freight Line.

Merna was very active in the San Juan Island Dixieland Jazz Festival and co-chaired this annual event for several years.

For the last 20 years, Merna lived in Palm Desert, Calif.

She enjoyed golfing, having learned the game when her folks established the San Juan golf course.

Merna is survived by her daughters, Coral and Toni, grandchildren, Sarah and Dylan Galligan, Jacque, Jonnie, and Lana Olsen, Trevor Guard, Amber Beeston, and Tyler McKee; her great grand children, Drake Guard, Cocora,

and Lotus Lowe; her longtime partner, David “Skip” Rowland, and her brother, Terry Jackson.

Preceding Merna in death, were her husband, Dick, her partner, Jim; her parents, John and Merle, and her grandson, Jeffery Beeston.

Merna’s wishes were for her ashes to be interned in Contributed photo the Valley Cemetery on San Merna Mae Guard.

Juan Island. Her family will plan a celebration of Merna’s of life at the time of internment.

A scholarship fund is being established to be given to any Friday Harbor graduate who wishes to pursue further training in either music or golf course administration and maintenance. Memorials to this scholarship in Merna’s honor can be sent to 640 Adams Street, Port Townsend, WA 98368.

BREAKDOWN:

Stratford, a licensed Merchant Marine ship master, was not happy but philosophical when two ferries in a row took cars for Anacortes, but left him and his wife in line for Lopez.

“I understand the crew of that last boat had been working for 12 hours and needed to be relieved according to Coast Guard rules,” he said. “Safety is paramount, but there are exceptions for unexpected circumstances. I just don’t know if this circumstance qualifies.”

But Mike Barnes of Anchor Management Services, which operates the Friday Harbor ferry landing, said, after loading two ferries bound for Anacortes late Sunday afternoon, “these were the worst delays

I’ve seen since I started with the ferry system in 1991.”

Barnes may have been referring specifically to ferry patrons waiting to depart Friday Harbor for Lopez or Orcas islands.

were in the middle of vacation from Long Island, New York. Alex, a childcare writer, was still smiling when she recounted, “We were eight hours late getting to Seattle from New York. On our way here, we thought were leaving crowds, traffic and trouble behind, coming to the idyllic San Juan Islands to take it easy and relax. Now we’ve been waiting for five hours to move on to Orcas. It’s part of the trip, I realize, but it’s not fun.”

Weekender Craig Matheson, also from Seattle, had a similar story. “I kind of expected a problem, like happened on the 4th of July, but nobody’s telling us anything unless we ask. I’m most frustrated about the lack of accurate information. At noon, I’m told to expect to get on a ferry to Anacortes at 3:30. Now at 5:30, I’m told I’ll be waiting until seven or later.”

The international run to Sydney was not affected and was on time both directions. But Brendan Jensen, a Renton hospital worker, was incensed when the Chelan discharged cars from Sydney but didn’t load Friday Harbor traffic for Anacortes.

Zack Akin, crew chief loading ferries in Friday Harbor, said, “People were great until about four or five o’clock. Sure people are upset, especially people going to Orcas and Lopez who have been waiting around since 10 or 11 a.m.

Most people expect delays in summer, but they want correct information and they get frustrated when the information keeps changing.”

Leap Frog Water Taxi offers Whatcom—San Juan connection

By Evan Marczynski evan@bbjtoday.com

With the San Juan Islands just beyond Bellingham Bay, Bill McGown believes Whatcom County residents who haven’t made a trip to see their island neighbors to the west are missing chances at both business and leisure.

“I’m always surprised when I meet locals who have never been to the San Juan Islands,” said McGown, owner and operator of Leap Frog Water Taxi. “I’m just like, ‘Are you crazy?’”

McGown, who lives in Bellingham but owns a cabin on Lopez Island, started the small ferry company in fall 2011 after realizing island residents wanted a direct route to Whatcom County that would let them bypass a ferry trip south to Anacortes. But as he’s tried to fill this practical need, he’s found a greater motivation: bridging a new connection between Whatcom and the San Juans.

Leap Frog carries passengers to a variety of destinations in the islands, a number of which not accessible by other modes of transportation such as the Washington state ferry system.

One-way fares for the water taxi, which is based out of the Bellingham Cruise Terminal, vary from $23 to $85 based on a trip’s length, according to the company’s website. McGown also offers a 10-ride punch card to frequent passengers that can save them 15 percent on fares.

TAKING THE LEAP On a rainy Friday morning at the floating dock outside the Bellingham terminal, McGown waits as his 32-foot aluminum boat named “Andiamo” — Italian for “let’s go”— idles in the water.

As the four passengers on this morning’s run begin to arrive, McGown takes their bags and other gear, then sets off from the harbor.

Stephen Koch from the San Francisco Bay area and Jenny Light from Redmond, Wash., are headed to a vacation cabin on Blakley, an island south of Orcas Island.

Light said she had trav-

eled on Leap Frog before and found McGown’s straight shot to the San Juans more convenient than other options.

“It’s been great so far,” Light said. “[Leap Frog] works because it’s easier.”

McGown said vacationers and adventurers make up a portion of his passenger base. But his main traffic has come from people living on the islands, as well as travelers making the final legs of their trips to the San Juans after arriving at the Bellingham International Airport or at the Amtrak and Greyhound stops in Fairhaven Station.

In addition to Leap Frog, other companies, including Paraclete Charter Service of Anacortes and San Juan Islands Water Taxi of Friday Harbor, run similar ferry services—although McGown is the only operator currently based in Bellingham.

Barbara Marrett, communications manager with the San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau, said water taxis are particularly useful to people traveling to the islands by plane or train.

“They just allow a kind of flexibility that you don’t have when you rely on the [state] ferry,” Marrett said.

“It’s a way for them to get here without renting a car and taking the ferry — it’s very direct.”

About half an hour into the Friday morning trip, McGown reaches over from behind the boat’s wheel and slides opens a side window, allowing a roaring breeze to come off the water and into the cabin.

The interior of the Leap Frog craft has green booths and tables running along either side. It could comfortably seat about a halfdozen people or so, though the boat itself — with addi-

tional open-air seating in the rear — is licensed to carry up to 12 passengers.

While McGown drives, he tracks weather changes on his iPhone, takes calls for future pick-ups, tweets and checks his email. As a one-man operation spending most days on the water, McGown has to play receptionist as much as pilot — essentially turning his boat into a floating command center.

Along choppy water, Leap Frog approaches the morning’s first stop at Sinclair Island. McGown is dropping off two passengers: a man and a woman carrying suitcases, water and a Styrofoam cooler.

On this side of Sinclair, a small island east of the San Juans, there’s no dock.

Instead, McGown is dropping the pair inside a small boat tied to a buoy a few hundred feet offshore. From there, they will wait for a friend to row out and meet them.

Leap Frog makes dropoffs in a variety of locations.

The boat can run right up on a beach, McGown said, provided the shoreline is not too steep and no large rocks or other obstructions

are in the area.

This aspect has come in handy when McGown makes runs for kayak groups or custom trips for people hauling heavy cargo such as building or landscaping materials.

After seeing his Sinclair passengers off, McGown carefully turns his boat around and heads toward Blakley Island. According to his instruments, the water underneath the vessel at the drop-off point was just five feet deep.

“It verges on the sketchy side,” he said. “This is probably one of the funkier plac-

es to land.”

The stop at Blakley is easier, with a small empty dock giving McGown plenty of space to pull in. The entire trip took a little over an hour.

TUNING THE LEAP FROG MODEL Leap Frog is designed to run year-round, but McGown said he plans take some time off in December and January. After his first full year, the water taxi’s business model will likely need some retooling, he said.

while others need care for several months.

One recent case was a seal pup found on Orcas Island with bloody puncture wounds on its head. It joined several other pups, who spend their days bobbing around the center’s pool, poking their heads out of the water to stare curiously with black, bright eyes at their surroundings.

“These pups will be released in small groups when they get up to normal weaning weight [50 pounds] in the wild,” Aitken said.

In a small room across from the pools is the seal pup nursery. There are no baby rattles or pink mobiles dangling from the ceiling.

Instead there are several bath tubs with wooden tops that do actually resemble the walls of a crib.

When the two pups, now in the pool, first came to Wolf Hollow, they spent every night tucked into these tubs because they were too weak or sick to swim all day, said Aitken.

As they became stronger they could swim for a few hours each day. Now that

Aitken said it takes two full-time staff, two seasonal staff, five interns and on any given day one to two volunteers to run the center during these busy months.

Wolf Hollow, located on San Juan Island, has served San Juan and Skagit County for the past 30 years. The 40-acre property hosts 40 animal enclosures, including an eagle flight enclosure, seal pools, a deer enclosure, and a songbird aviary.

So far this year, Wolf Hollow has treated 435 animals. Some are with Wolf Hollow for only a few days,

Injured or abandoned raccoons are frequent guests and patients at Wolf Hollow, even more so in the months of summer.

they are in good health they stay in the water for 24 hours and eat fish on their own off the bottom of the pool.

Beyond the nursery is 40 acres with numerous cages tucked into heavily wooded areas, so the creatures feel at home while they recover from their injuries.

A young bald eagle stands in the corner of his cage like a man with a large cloak wrapped around his shoulders. When the eagle gets healthier he will be moved to the flight cage, a 140-foot-long and 20-foothigh enclosure that will help him get back to the air.

The flight cage is a unique structure because it is built at an angle, allowing for

birds to practice turning in air, said Aitken.

Another cage quite a distance away is home to several young mallard ducks, who will be released when their flight feathers grow in.

“So they can get away from predators,” Aitken said.

And beyond that there’s the raccoon cage where seven fuzzy black and white faces crouch together.

Some people may not like the idea of the center rehabilitating animals that are in an over abundance on the islands like deer, raccoons and rabbits, but Aitken said Wolf Hollow doesn’t discriminate when it comes to the animals they treat.

suffered injuries that have left them unable to return to the wild – a rough-legged and red-tailed hawk are used as education animals at schools and summer camps.

As education coordinator, Aitken’s job is to help people learn more about local wildlife and human impacts on these animals and their habitats.

Aitken hopes the animals at Wolf Hollow may inspire people to “just simply be aware.”

For instance, cutting down a tree during nesting season may cause unnecessary songbird deaths or

injuries when it is easy to cut down a tree in the fall or winter, she said.

She also wants people to know that Wolf Hollow is there when you need them.

“Maybe their cat brings in a songbird, their dog chases and injures a baby raccoon, a small hawk flies into their window or a they hit an owl when they are driving home one night,” said Aitken.

“They then realize that we provide a service not just to the wild animals, but also to the people in the local community.”

Terminal: Continued from page 1 Development Permit to reconstruct the sidewalks and replace the signage at the corner of East and Front Streets.

On Thursday, the Friday Harbor Town Council scheduled a special meeting at noon Aug. 14 to consider the shoreline development permit.

On Lopez, the pavement on the terminal trestle is wearing out. The U.S. Department of Transportation recently announced a $600,000 grant to rebuild and repave the trestle between the island and the ferry loading ramp.

U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Everett, praised the grant for Lopez, which was one of six grants totaling $5.8 million in federal funding for the state ferry system.

“Our ferry system needs investment,” Larsen said in a press release. “These grants will create jobs and help make sure that folks who rely on ferries are traveling safely and efficiently.”

No timetable for engineering, construction or completion has been announced by the ferry system for the Lopez repair.

In Friday Harbor, the ferry system has decided to combine about $241,000 of federal money and nearly $63,000 of state money to rebuild the whole street corner across Front Street from Cannery Landing. New stairs, ramps, ® and pedestrian walkways Over and lots of new signs - will 44 be constructed in front of Years the historic house referred to by locals as the “Doctor’s Fine Office.”

News briefs Four local ballot measures lack ‘con’ statements

The November election pamphlet will have arguments for and against the proposed amendments to the County Charter, but four other ballot measures will have only “pro” statements, unless county Auditor Milene Henley can find people to write “con” statements.

“Providing two sides to every argument provides an important service to the voters, and helps to ensure an informed electorate,” Henley noted in a press release calling for concerned voters to volunteer to write arguments opposing four ballot measures.

The measures without opposing arguments are the initiative banning

genetically modified organisms in San Juan County, a bond measure for the Orcas Island School District, a tech levy for the Orcas Island School District and the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District property tax funding measure.

Proposition One, proposed by the Charter Review Commission, which would return the County Council to three members elected county-wide in place of the six-member council provided in the current Charter, has three former county commissioners arguing in favor of a three-member council.

They are Tom Cowan from Lopez, Kevin Ranker from San Juan Island, and John Evans of Orcas Island.

In opposition are Art Lange of Orcas, Lola Deane of Shaw and Charlie Bodenstab of San Juan Island.

Bill McGown regularly makes runs for kayakers and passengers heading to the San Juans for other recreational activities.

Yet while McGown admits he’s been “barely” profitable so far with high overhead and maintenance costs—he spent more than $12,000 on fuel alone during the first seven months of 2012—he doesn’t plan major changes.

“I think the way we came out of the starting blocks has worked well,” he said. “This is year one, and I knew I had to brace myself and prepare to spend this year working super hard and see how it washed out.”

With the total ridership he has available, McGown is optimistic his company can grow, particularly since island residents have embraced him and lent support.

“Having customers with that attitude – that’s value right there,” he said.

WSF seeks input on reservation system plan

The San Juan Ferry Advisory Committee is soliciting islanders to help plan the ferry reservation system.

Ferry users “who routinely use the system” are being offered a seat at the table, as David Mosely and the state Department of

Transportation figure out details of a reservation system for ferries serving the San Juan Islands.

“Please join me in partnership as we explore this possibility together,” said Mosely, executive of the ferry system, in a press release.

Called the Community Partnership Group, the group will consist of about 20 members from all ferryserved islands. They begin meeting this fall with ferry system officials and members of the ferry advisory committee.

Preliminary schedules envision in-person and on-line meetings every six weeks for about 18 months.

Participants must commit to attending meetings, reviewing materials before and after meetings, using technology for online meetings

and conference calls and “be willing to explore solutions to problems identified,” according to a FAC press release.

Interested residents should send an email by Monday,

Aug. 13, to: fac@sanjuanco. com. Include contact information and a description of your interests and how you can contribute.

Opinion Letters to the Editor

Beware of CAO buffer overeach

Did you know that CAO provisions on Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas and Wetlands pending before the County Council would declare our entire shoreline to be a “critical” area, and turn shoreline setbacks into “buffers”?

Setbacks and buffers are not the same. Setbacks govern where structures can be placed, but buffers govern what you are allowed to do on your land.

The new restrictions are not limited to shorelines, but also extend buffers around “streams” and wetlands, and will enable the county to regulate almost everything we do in areas of our land declared to be “buffers.”

Why should you need county permission to use your property to: walk your dog or ride your horse?

Picnic near the shore or by a stream? Play softball or Frisbee during a family gathering? (“hiking” and “birdwatching” are OK.) Fly a kite or radio controlled airplane?

Rather than prohibiting only specific activities that are proven harmful to habitat, the proposed CAO allows structures, uses and activities in buffers only if they are specifically listed and approved. Any activity that is not listed and approved in the regulations is prohibited, unless the owner secures a provisional/conditional use permit or variance, subject to additional requirements

imposed by the county. (See Table 3.10 in the FWHCA Section and Table 3.8 of the Wetland Section (current draft at http://bit.ly/ OUNN6C).

It may be true that you will be allowed to “keep doing what you’re already doing,” if you can prove, to the satisfaction of the planning department, that you have used the area for the specific activity prior to the CAO, that you haven’t abandoned the activity, and the “degree of nonconformity is not increased.”

It is not too late to stop this unwarranted overreaching in the guise of environmental protection.

If you value the use of your land and the rural character of our community, call your county council representatives and attend the hearing on Aug. 21.

Editorial

Guest Column

Modest proposal

Distracted driving kills; here’s how

I

t’s kind of a “pedestrian” use of money from the law and justice sales tax increase on yesterday’s primary ballot, and we don’t even know now whether the increase was approved by the voters yesterday, but if so, we hope the town and the county will use some of the tax increase to better manage arriving ferry traffic and tourists, especially during summer, in Friday Harbor.

Now that the ferry system has announced it will spend some $300,000 improving pedestrian traffic flow at the corner of Front and East streets, we think both the town and the county should also pony up and spend a small part of sales tax revenue — if it occurs (and possibly even if it does not) — to improve safety, convenience and livability of the core of Friday Harbor.

Spring Street, from Memorial Park to Wells Fargo Bank, is the most heavily travelled street (and sidewalk) in town. Restaurants, realtors, grocers and two dozen or so shops along here contribute to the vitality and livability — and sales tax income — of the whole town. This stretch of pavement needs attention for reasons of safety and congestion.

The Port’s working on plans to develop a boardwalk along the waterfront, the nascent Business Improvement District will soon be trying to beautify downtown, and the town is working on a new Shoreline Master Program. Lots of people will contribute lots of good ideas if our two local governments will step up to the plate and finance those good ideas.

Maybe it’s time to vitalize Spring Street.

Everyone, islanders and visitors alike, would benefit.

Each day, 15 die because of a distracted driver, a year ago, my mother became a statistic

D

By Brad Fincher

id you know that 25 percent of the drivers in the United States report that they regularly talk on their cell phones while driving (www.distraction.gov and www.cdc.gov)?

Did you know that the younger you are that percentage raises dramatically to 40 percent in the age group 18-29 year olds?

We should all know by now this is dangerous and illegal.

But, it gets worse.

Did you know that 9 percent of the drivers in the United States report texting or emailing regularly using their cell phones while driving? Staggeringly, 52 percent of the 18-29-year-olds reported texting while driving in the last 30 days. Texting takes your eyes off the road for almost five seconds. At 55 mph, that is like driving the length of a football field blindfolded.

To put it into Friday Harbor terms, it is like driving 20 mph on Spring Street the length of King’s Market, then through the intersection past Friday Harbor Drug Store, with pedestrians in the cross-walk, bicyclists pedaling up the hill, and cars parked in 2-hour parking spaces, all while blindfolded.

I have one more statistic. Each day, 15 people are killed in crashes that are caused by distracted drivers. To me, it is more than a statistic, because on Dec. 27, 2011, my mom was one of those 15 people.

On that day, in east Texas, a man was traveling on a two lane highway driving his three-quarter-ton pickup truck at a rate of 70 m.p.h. (which was the speed limit) and received a text, which he chose to read (determined by cell phone records and a Texas highway patrol investigation). He did not see the car in front of him at a complete stop apparently waiting to cross over traffic to get to a road-side park.

His truck rear-ended the stopped car (at 70 mph with no skid marks that would indicate breaking) killing him instantly as well as the driver of the rear-ended car. The

wreck caused the car to be shoved into on- coming traffic where it “t-boned” another car killing the passenger and severely injuring the driver of that third car.

My mom, Suzan Fincher, was the passenger in the third car, traveling with her friend to a funeral. It was two days after Christmas, and at least we got to talk on the phone Christmas day and said “I love you” before we hung up.

She died that day because someone was using their cell phone while driving. It was negligent, it was preventable, and it was not an accident.

Every day on San Juan Island I see people using their cell phones while driving. My friend, Joe Caputo, recently wrote a letter to the editor with his observations of these egregious violations. Because of my experience, I take it personally that these people violate the law endangering my family and community.

If you go to the San Juan County Fair, please stop by the San Juan Island Prevention Coalition booth. We are partnering with Right of Way Driving School to educate our community on the dangers of distracted driving and encourage drivers to put down their cell phones while driving.

After all, it is the law, and you could be preventing a tragedy and saving lives.

Counterpoint:

False alarm raised over Frisbees, kites, CAO Improvement on property rights included as part of CAO update

M

r. Blanchard’s letter expresses concern that playing Frisbee or flying kites won’t be allowed near wetlands and Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas (“Beware of CAO buffer overreach”, Aug. 8 pg. 6).

The draft Critical Areas Ordinance update lists many allowed activities in and near wetlands and FWHCAs. I’ll include the complete sentence from the CAO tables that Mr. Blanchard references: “Outdoor recreational activities including hunting and fishing (pursuant to state law), bird watching,

hiking, boating, and swimming.”

I think the entire County Council intends to allow for “outdoor recreational activities.” I encourage Mr. Blanchard to reference the complete draft language and to promote constructive discussion instead of being alarmist.

If ‘outdoor recreational activities’ doesn’t adequately address Frisbee-playing or kite-flying, I invite him to provide suggestions for changes.

The CAO update is required by law and must comply with current law.

Significant time and scarce county resources have been spent since this CAO update began in 2003. We need to complete the CAO update and I am working to develop regulations that

satisfy the law and work for our community.

I want to point out that there are changes in the draft CAO update that include some significant improvements as compared to current code from the perspective of property owner rights, including: The draft CAO update applies only to the areas inside in the (Federal) Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) with no additional buffers. The existing code applies within 300 feet of the FIRM maps.

The draft CAO update clearly states that lawfully non-conforming structures, uses, and activities may continue in perpetuity.

The current code requires that a shoreline structure that does not conform to current regu-

lations and is destroyed more than 75 percent must be rebuilt according to current regulations.

The draft CAO update allows structures that are non-conforming because of CAO regulations, even if 100 percent destroyed, to be rebuilt in the existing footprint and continue as lawfully non-conforming structures in perpetuity.

San Juan County is fortunate to have so many citizens engaged in the CAO update process and I thank the Journal for providing a forum for discussion.

Helpful hints to ensure crab for all

By WSU Beach Watchers, San Juan County

Everyone wants to go home with Dungeness crab, and their crab pots, after the time and effort spent in crabbing.

In recent years, record numbers of Dungeness crab have been harvested, with more than 10 million pounds of crab being taken in 2011 alone.

Each year, over 12,000 crab pots are lost. Those pots trap and kill 178,000 male, harvestable crabs annually.

Each lost pot wastes $235 worth of crab, plus it takes at least $190 (of your tax dollars) to find and remove each lost pot. It is important that all recreational crabbers follow these basic rules to keep the population strong.

Keep only male crabs 6.25-inch and larger: Smaller males are responsible for most of the future generations, so taking them could reduce future harvests and impact the wildlife that depend on crab larvae for food. Sexes can be differentiated by looking at the abdomens on the crabs’ underside. The female crab’s abdomen is much broader, as it is where the female holds millions of eggs.

Measure your crab properly: Use a caliper, available at most gear or bait shops. The crab is measured on the inside of the last set of points, or tips. Taking a female or small male crab is illegal.

Use escape (rot) cord: A large percentage of recovered crab pots are not equipped with escape cord. Bio-

degradable cord (cotton, jute, sisal, yarn or hemp) “rots” in 2-3 months, preventing 30 legal-size crab a year from perishing in your pot. The dead and dying crab become bait for more crab, continuing the cycle until the pot degrades.

Weight your lines: Weighted lines sink rather than floating on the surface of the water. A passing boat will not see a floating line and can cut it as it passes over. You can either buy leaded line or purchase weights and attach those to your line. It doesn’t hurt to also weight your pot, especially if you are crabbing in areas with strong currents.

Check the water depth: Before you toss your pots over the side of the boat or dock, check the water depth with a chart or depth finder. Slowly lowering the pot until it hits the ground is a wiser choice than tossing it in and watching the buoy go underwater.

Use more line: Use a line that is one-third longer than the water depth in which you are crabbing. This will ensure that you won’t lose your pot due to deep water, high tides or strong currents that pull the pot sideways as you lower it to the ground.

Steer clear of high traffic areas: Avoid ferry, log boom or commercial boat routes as these ships do not detour for crab pots.

William L. Mason: 1936 — 2012 Bill Mason, 76, died suddenly at home in Friday Harbor, Wash., on July 24, 2012.

He was born July 5, 1936 in Des Moines, Iowa, to Ralph and Elizabeth Boyer Mason. He attended Kansas State University, Augustana College and received a Bachelor of Science in environmental science from Grand Canyon College.

Bill entered the U.S. Air Force in 1957 and retired after 20 years as a lieutenant colonel. During the Vietnam War, he spent a year in Thailand and flew 200 missions in an F-4 Phantom.

Bill taught pilots at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. and completed his career doing intelligence work at Kelly Air Force Base, Texas. He received many military awards, including the Distinguished Flying Cross.

He married Alberta Fitch June 18, 1960. They had two daughters and were divorced in 1980. Bill moved to Missoula, Mont. and completed all his coursework for a master's in zoology at the University of Montana.

Bill married Norma Sandberg Hober April 14, 1984.

They and Norma's youngest son lived in Florence, Mont. for five years before moving to Anacortes, Wash. in 1989. Bill and Norma designed and built their dream home in Friday Harbor in 2003.

A brilliant man with many talents, Bill loved to share his passion for science and outdoor adventures with his children and grandchildren. A lifelong dog lover, he owned Weimaraners for 45 years and showed several to American and Canadian championships.

His hobbies included rockhounding, skiing, scuba diving, hunting, backpacking, running full and half marathons, studying quantum mechanics, flying his Cessna plane and especially sailing his Morgan 382 sailboat. For his 60th birthday, he sailed solo from Anacortes to Hawaii and back.

Bill devoted his time and talents to helping Norma fulfill her 40-year dream to find and meet her birth family in Virginia. Bill was a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, Friday Harbor Sailing Club, Anacortes Yacht Club and the Weimaraner Club of America. He volunteered as Cubmaster in Montana and for Island Rec in Friday Harbor, ushered at San Juan Community Theatre and served Thanksgiving pie at the Grange the past six years.

Survivors include his wife Norma; daughters Kathryn Mason Vanderput (John), Calgary, and Pamela Foster, Houston; stepsons Jeff Hober, San Diego, Brett Hober,

by Schaller picked for Pt. Townsend art exhibition

An oil painting by Friday Harbor artist Doris Schaller will be included in the ‘Art Port Townsend/ Expressions Northwest’, the Northwind Arts Alliance and Port Townsend Arts Commission’s 14th Annual Juried Art Exhibition.

The exhibition is Aug. 3 — 26 in the seaport town of Port Townsend, Wash.

Is the island artist, who by day is supervisor of San Juan County’s Elections department, surprised by the selection? In a way, said Schaller, noting that three of her art works were in the

competition.

“I guess I was surprised by which one they chose,” she said.

Juror Rock Hushka is director of Curatorial Administration and Curator of Contemporary and Northwest Art at Tacoma Art Museum.

Rock selected 67 pieces from 413 works of art submitted by artists in Washington, Alaska, Oregon, Utah, Nebraska and British Columbia.

Schaller’s work, an oil

painting entitled ‘Mountain Homestead’, was one of 67 chosen for the exhibition. It was the first time she submitted a work of art for the Port Townsend festival, and one of her paintings has also been selected for an exhibition of art in Anacortes.

That good ol’ entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well at the latest addition along Friday Harbor’s antique shop row.

That would be Nichols Street, where longtime islander and local businessman Daniel Miller Jr., moved in two doors down from Funk & Junk and right next door to Castaways, to launch New England Cafe & Collectibles, at the end of May. Miller Jr., acknowledges the cafe portion of the enterprise is still a work

in progress — snacks and beverages, chillin’ in a faux antique Coca Cola ‘fridge, are available — and assures it will be in full flight soon.

“I like antiques and food, and wanted to combine food service with collectibles,” he said of the offerings the shop provides.

But even before opening day, Miller Jr., was busy canvassing the island and the greater northwest Washington region in search of vintage household items, artwork, furniture and collectible toys, among other things, and with a little help from family and friends,

pieced together enough eye-catching inventory to create a backbone for the business.

An entrepreneur at heart, Miller Jr., who also oper-

ates a landscape business, said that New England Cafe & Collectibles stands as a foray into the retail industry and that business over the summer has been brisk.

“It’s really a fun little shop,” he said. “I like to tell people it’s not just a shop, it’s an experience.”

In addition to antiques, vintage household items, and collectibles, New England Collectibles, 115 Nichols St., also offers a wide array of glassware, artwork, furniture, toys and t-shirts, as well as pieces of barnwood furniture crafted

by Dan Miller Sr. The junior Miller believes that the location and timing is right for his latest enterprise to succeed.

“Nichols Street is turning into quite a tourist hub,” he said.

W

hen a band halfway around the world listens to all your music, learns all your songs, and then prepares itself just for you, the artist, to drop by, plug in and let loose on a foreign audience, one might think you've reached a point where you can rest on your laurels and ease back on the throttle a bit.

Well, Lloyd Jones knows better, but he isn't taking it for granted either.

“I was invited over there by this band that has the same instrumentation as mine – with two horns – and they said they had learned all my stuff,” said Jones, who last year traveled twice to Denmark to play with a group of musically accomplished strangers; he plans to return in October. “And you know what, they did. It all just worked out so well.”

From his hometown of Portland, Ore., Jones has been spinning straw into musical gold for the better part of 30 years. He and his band, The Lloyd Jones Struggle, first lit up the Main Stage of the San Juan County Fair back in 2001, another gig in which those in that audience may recall “worked out” pretty darn fantastically, too.

This time around, Jones is headed back to the fair, along with his band, with more fuel in the tank, a bit of a chip on his shoulder and a new recording in tow, 2011’s “Doin’ What It Takes” (Reference Records), which, in a phrase, pretty much sums up the course that even a 10-time winner of the Cascade Blues Association's “Best R & B Act”and 2007 inductee into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame must follow to keep an acclaimed musical career on track, while banging’ out rhythm and blues

in the age of I-tunes and the Internet.

Jones says that traditional routes in landing a gig or marketing a recording have withered or fallen by the wayside over the last five years.

A band leader-slash-songwriter must adapt, he said, adding motivation behind “Doin’ What It Takes” partly came from the upheaval and chaos of the music industry.

“It was a project started out of the frustration,” he said. “But I’m very delighted and happy with the recording. The band knocked it out of the park.”

Of late, Jones finds creative sparks not only in chaos, but in his own backyard as well. His early 2011 solo release, “Highway Bound” (Underworld Records), features 16 songs, mostly classic blues covers and a few originals, and himself on vocals and an acoustic guitar (Charlie Musselwhite and Curtis Salgado lend vocals on respective tracks). It’s a departure from the electric Chicago-style rhythm and blues which has become the trademark of Jones and the Struggle. And a breath of fresh air.

“It’s like what I do in the backyard,” he said of the solo acoustic recording. “It’s actually the easiest thing I’ve ever done.”

Regardless of industry turmoil, Denmark gigs aside, Jones, a two-time winner of the Washington Blues Society’s “Best Songwriter” of the year, who’s shared the stage with the likes of Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughn, Robert Cray, Bonnie Raitt, B.B. King, Etta James and Taj Mahal, to name a few, knows where the pool of inspiration lies.

It’s on the stage, in the studio, on the road, with fellow musicians and friends, and sometimes in his own backyard.

Alden’s allure: Survey of Salish Sea Distinguished U.S. Navy career began with early exploration of San Juans James Alden’s eventful US Navy career will be the subject of an illustrated program by local historian Mike Vouri on Saturday evening, Aug. 11, at the San Juan Island library.

Alden, a direct descendant of Mayflower passenger and Plymouth Colony settler John Alden, spent considerable time between 1841 and 1861 in San Juan Island and Puget South waters, most notably as a young participant in Lt. Wilkes’ U.S. Exploring Expedition in 1841-42 and later as commander of the U.S. Coast Survey steamer “Active” between 1853 and 1861.

‘Thyme in My Pocket’; artist memoir unveiled

The San Juan Community Theatre’s Summer Night Music Concert Series will “turn, turn, turn” right back to the musical year that, depending on your point of view, either launched or warped a generation: It’s the ‘Summer of 1969’— peace, love and rock ‘n’ roll— and its music is back in the limelight, Thurs., Aug. 9, at SJCT. The show features a team of island musicians sharing rockin’ tunes and classic folk songs of the ‘60s and ‘70s, in the Gubelman Theatre. The musical torch bearers of a generation and its cherished hits, anthems and sometimes forgotten numbers, include Daniel Finn, Ian Boulton, Debbie Nash-Strasser, Ian Byington, Steve Keys, Gretchen Gubelman and Beau Borrero, Kate Schuman and Keith Busha.

After a break for the county Fair, SJCT’s Summer Concert returns the following Thursday, Aug. 23, for a special repeat performance of “Remember Patsy Cline”, featuring local musicians Kate Schuman and Keith Busha.

Alison Johnston.

Johnston, a San Juan Island painter and island resident since 1981, had spent time in the area, renowned for its bucolic scenery and for the Cotes du Luberon and Cote du Rhone wine appellations.

In 2007, she returned with her family to live, draw and paint for a year. This illustrated memoir is the colorful and poetic result.

Johnston will tell the story and show some of the exquisite watercolors and sketches Friday, Aug.10, at 7 p.m. at Griffin Bay Cafe, 155 Spring St. in Friday Harbor.

NOTIFICATION OF INTENT TO OBTAIN CUSTODY. Per RCW 79.100, San Juan County intends to take custody of an unnamed derelict sail boat with no registration on August 30th, 2012. The vessel is at anchor in Westcott Bay, San Juan County near the 400 block of White Point Rd. After taking custody, San Juan County may use or dispose of the vessel without further notice. A letter has been mailed to the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last known address.

To retain custody of this vessel before the Custody Date, the owner must: 1) contact the coordinator below, and 2) obtain authorization to moor or anchor the vessel in its current location, or 3) move it to a moorage facility that has authorized the vessel, or 4) remove the vessel from the water.

To redeem the vessel once San Juan County has taken custody, per RCW 53.08.320 (5) (b), the owner must commence a lawsuit to contest

San Juan Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to obtain custody of the vessel, or the amount of reimbursement owed, in the superior court of the county in which the vessel was located. The written request can be submitted immediately but cannot be filed any later than the tenth day after the date of custody, which will be September 9th, 2012.

The right to a hearing is deemed waived if a request is submitted late, and the owner is liable for any costs owed to San Juan County. These costs may include all administrative costs incurred by San Juan County, removal and disposal costs, and costs associated with environmental damages directly or indirectly caused by the vessel.

In the event of litigation, the prevailing party is entitled to reasonable attorneysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fees and costs. San Juan County reserves the right to pursue any other remedies available under law. For more information, contact

Keeping an eye on local Orca whales O

lineal sub-groups —mothers with offspring — traveling as a cohesive family unit. These subgroups travel together year-around, and in some cases there are as many as four to five generations traveling together in one large sub-group. Tight social units are another reliable way to identify orca whales. Look for the most distinctive whale or distinguishable features of a whale, then identify that whale. Once one whale is identified, refer to the family tree to assist in identifying other whales in the vicinity.

Researchers rely on this detailed information to determine mothers of new calves, whale survivorship, and social preferences during large multi-family gatherings (aka‘Super Pod’).

A

Eyepatches are important, too!

rca whales have a ‘dorsal fin’ and ‘saddle’ patch — the greyish-white area behind the dorsal fin — that are distinctive to each individual whale. Whale researchers use detailed photographs of the saddle patch and dorsal fin to identify unique characteristics — including nicks, scratches, and other marks — that distinguish individual whales from each other.

Orca whales travel in tight family groups commonly referred to as ‘pods.’ Orca pods are multiple matri-

bove, L54 and her three offspring are shown as a family tree. The matriarch, L54, is at the top, with her descendants below, eldest to youngest from left to right. L117, who’s sex is unknown, is the youngest of L54’s calves, born in 2010. New born calves often have a grey and mottled looking saddle patch.

Because calves stay close to their mothers for the first year or so of their life, they are often identified by their association with their mother rather than their saddle patch. To identify older individual whales, look closely at the details of the saddle patch of each animal in the subgroup. Every orca whale has a distinct and unique saddle patch, much like a human fingerprint, unlike any other whale in the world.

— Center for Whale Research

Orca eyepatches are also an important marking used for identification. Eyepatches, the white patch above the eye, are unique to individuals just like saddle patches. Sometimes we can’t get a good look at the saddle patch, say when a whale spyhops, but we can use the eyepatch instead to identify the individual.

This eyepatch photo is of the newest calf in L pod L119. — Center for Whale Research

The Center for Whale Research maintains a detailed photographic catalog of the Southern Resident Killer whales that frequent these waters dating back to the early 1970’s. The Center also documents the whales’ social structure, regional travel patterns, and feeding and foraging strategies throughout coastal waters from British Columbia to California.
