Critics push for delay in CAO

Get ready to pay more for recycling Per can fee of $3 would replace $5 per cubic yard

Election results weigh heavily with CAO in final stage

By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

Elections have consequences.

That realization has both sides of the critical areas ordinance update scrambling to influence whether the county council will be able to, or want to, take final action on the ordinances this month, before three new council members are sworn into office in early January.

In early January, Howie Rosenfeld, Lovel Pratt and Richard Fralick relinquish their council offices to Marc Forlenza, Bob Jarman and Rick Hughes.

Jarman and Forlenza were critical of the CAO process during their campaign, and both appeared at the Nov. 27 public hearing on the CAO update as the county council started the push toward final passage of the contentious and long-delayed update of the county’s comprehensive development plans and regulations.

Marc Forlenza testified first, saying the ordinances as proposed placed a burden on the local economy, especially to development of property important to the livelihood of county residents. “The voters have spoken loudly and clearly,” said Forlenza, who urged the council to “seriously reconSee CAO, Page 4

Santa Claus, holiday gift bag in hand, is surrounded on stage by CATS members at the third annual Holiday Festival, San Juan Community Theatre’s biggest fundraiser of the year.

One for the record books

‘Holiday Fest’ sparks season of giving, $112K raised at fundraiser

Auctions, raffles, donations, sponsorships and a fun-filled evening of music, song and dance, it all added up into a record night for San Juan Community Theatre and its biggest fundraiser of the year.

Roughly $112,000 was raised at the theatre’s third annual Holiday Festival, “Just Imagine”, which featured the return of celebrity auctioneer John Curley, host of Seattle’s Morning News, broadcast on KIRO-FM, and former front-man of King 5’s “Evening Magazine.

“We do think it is a record,” Jan BollwinkelSmith, theatre promotions coordinator, said of the evening’s proceeds. “I just got the feeling, even though there’s that fiscal cliff, that people were ready to spend and donate a little more this year than maybe they were the last.”

The third annual Holiday Festival, which super-

seded the theatre’s former wintertime fundraiser, the Festival of Trees, also featured a wealth of local entertainment: music and dancing by island rockers, The Chameleons, musical performances by the theatre’s Susan Williams, accompanied by Keith Busha, as well as music by Lopez Island’s Hawk Arps, a vibes player, and the Lisa Duke Dancers, and a stage performance by Jill and Andy Urbach.

One of the biggest beneficiaries of the Holiday Festival will be the theatre’s children’s drama programs.

Included in proceeds generated by the fundraiser is $26,000 earmarked for the theatre’s summer children’s program, a newly forged collaboration with Seattle Children’s Theatre that will bring drama instructors to the island to lead educational programs, training and workshops geared both for adults and for children in the dramatic arts.

With funding for the workshops in place, Bollwinkel-Smith said that the theatre expects that drama instructors from the Seattle theatre will be leading programs on the island sometime this summer.

The cost of recycling at the San Juan Island and Orcas Island drop-boxes could be going up, to $3 per can, if the County Council accepts a recommendation by the Department of Public Works.

If approved, the new fee would replace the current charge of $5 per cubic yard, which equals up to See recycling, Page 3 IN YOUR COMMUNITY SHOP SAN JUAN ISLAND FOR THE HOLIDAYS!

“Roger’s waterfront boardwalk is a subject we’ve talked about off and on over the years,” O’Connor said. “The port commission has had a long-standing interest in a waterfront walkway, to improve and formalize the public’s easy access to the shoreline.”

The port will begin public discussions about their intentions for the waterfront next year.

The building, constructed in the 1870’s, over the course of its lifetime has been a warehouse, the town hall and jail, and Friday Harbor headquarters for the U.S. Coast Guard.

Roger Bennett clearly expects it will have several more lives before he’s finished with it. this for the community,” Leigh said.

Beginning Tuesday, Dec. 4, qualified people can take the written knowledge test on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., at The Computer Place, 327 Argyle Ave, next to San Juan Island Fitness. The driving skills test will be given by appointment. State rules and restrictions apply to both tests.

The testing fees — $28 for a knowledge test and $48 for a skills test — will be included in the price of the traffic safety course, beginning with the January 2013 session. Additional

Petition seeks killer whale ‘de-listing’ Prompted by a petition by the Pacific Legal Foundation, federal officials will take another look to determine whether the killer whales of Puget Sound deserve protection as an endangered species.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency, parent agency of the National Marine Fisheries Service, a petition filed in August by the California-based Pacific Legal Foundation presents information published in scientific journals that address killer whale genetics and how closely related the Southern resident killer whales are to other populations, and that meets the agency’s criteria for review of the popula-

tion’s status as a federally endangered species.

Listed as endangered in 2005, the Southern residents consists of three closely related clans, J, K and L pods, the population totals 86 animals with the addition of a newborn, J-49, in early August. It consisted of 88 animals when the population was declared endangered in 2005.

“The petition asserts that the Southern Resident killer whales are actually part of a much larger population and are, therefore, not in danger of extinction,” NOAA noted in a Nov. 26 press release announcing it would conduct a review of the population and its listing.

In qualifying as endangered under the federal law,

Transportation survey seeks responders

The Washington State Transportation Commission will conduct a statewide survey on transportation taxation options, priorities and other topics, asking over 17,000 Washington State residents who are part of the Voice Of Washington State survey program to participate.

the Southern residents were determined to be a “distinct population segment” of killer whales, with a unique dialect, a unique genetic line and the only orca population to feed extensively on salmon. Acceptance of the petition does not suggest that a proposal to delist will follow, according to NOAA. The petition was filed by the Pacific Legal Foundation on behalf of the Center for Environmental Science Accuracy and Reliability and two California farms, Empresas Del Bosque and Coburn Ranch.

The Fisheries Service delisting review occurs while the Southern residents are a focus of the environmental assessment now underway for the Gateway Terminal

Recycling: Continued from page 1 six 32-gallon cans of commingled recycling.

Utility Manager Ed Hale and Public Works Department Director Frank Mulcahy presented the new fee to the council Nov. 27 to pay for an anticipated increase in hauling and disposal costs until the private companies selected to operate the two transfer stations take over facilities sometime next year. Hale estimates that Public Works will pay about $20,000 more a month, from Jan. 1 to May 1, to extend its current contact with Waste Management for disposal of recycled materials.

In 2002, the county and Waste Management inked a 10-year contract for disposal of garbage and recycling that will expire at the end of the year.

The proposed increase would not affect the drop-box facility on Lopez Island because the recently created Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District will be up and operating by 2013. The district, rather than the county, will be responsible for the disposal expenses it incurs.

Although transport costs for garbage will also rise until the Orcas and San Juan facilities are privately operated, the

Project proposed at Cherry Point, near Bellingham, if constructed, the project would serve as a export facility for bulk shipments of coal traveling through San Juan Islands waterways en route to markets in Asia.

The Fisheries Service will have a year from receiving the petition to make a decision on whether delisting is warranted. Any formal proposal to delist would be followed by a public comment period and public hearings before a final decision about official listing could be made.

increased costs will be covered by a portion of the 16 percent solid waste excise tax already in place.

Hale explained that contracts for private operations by Orcas Recycling Services and Ken-Tec Energy USA should be completed by the end of the year, or shortly thereafter, but that it may take the two private operators up to three months to assume control of the facilities.

The council is expected to decide on the proposed increase at a Dec. 18 public hearing.

CAO: Continued from page 1 sider passing the CAO during this lame-duck session unless the proposed burdensome language is changed or eliminated.”

Other opponents, including Jarman, echoed Forlenza’s comments, calling on the council to take into account the election results. But others see things differently. David Dehlendorf acknowledged that the council had worked hard to reach compromises on many issues, but urged the council to pass the ordinances. “If not today at least before the end of the year,” he said.

Other proponents, including Stephanie Buffum, Executive Director of Friends of the San Juans, concurred with Dehlendorf, though Buffum thought the council should “strengthen” the ordinances with amendments suggested earlier by her organization.

Kyle Loring, staff attorney for Friends of the San Juans, testified and issued a statement confirming his organization’s desire to finish the ordinances. “It is time to adopt an ordinance,” Loring wrote. “Between the two years of work by a citizen advisory panel from 2007-09 and at least 53

county hearings and meetings since 2009, the county has spent ample time and resources on the CAO update and now needs to fulfill its pledge to adopt it in 2012.”

There are no legal or procedural barriers to extending consideration of the ordinances into next year, according to Deputy Prosecutor Jonathon Cain. Both Cain and Shireene Hale, county planning coordinator, point to the steep learning curve that new council members would face to become educated in the complexities of the proposed ordinances. If significant changes were proposed, a new series of public hearings might be required, Hale said.

Additionally, failure to update the comprehensive plan might hurt the county’s chances of obtaining state funding for local projects, especially for capital facilities and clean water and transportation projects.

The council, including CAO critic Rich Peterson, worked intently through the afternoon, perhaps mindful of Councilman Richard Fralick’s statement that not adopting the CAO this year would be “irresponsible.”

Peterson had earlier submitted a six-page list of problems and suggestions for the four proposed critical area ordinances, including “eight major issues that if left unresolved would make it impossible for me to vote” for the ordinances. Peterson’s issues include many of the definitions used in formulation of the regulations, and concepts such as the “reasonable use exception.”

At least several of his objections have previously been raised by CAO opponents and will likely be the subject of expected appeals by property rights advocates to the Growth Management Hearings Board, and possibly the courts.

Proponents have also raised the potential for appeal.

Recognizing the appeals potential, the council is spending substantial time considering amendments from both sides and documenting its reasoning carefully.

Working through the ordinances dealing with geologically hazardous and frequently flooded areas and general regulations, the council approved several amendments proposed by Peterson, but finished the day’s deliberations without dealing with the wetlands and fish and wildlife habitat ordinances or many of Peterson’s issues.

The council scheduled a full day of hearings on the CAO, without public testimony, on Dec. 3, and has reserved Thursday, Dec. 27, for any last-minute action that may be necessary.

Voter turnout in the November election totaled 89.4 percent in San Juan County, the highest of Washington state’s 39 counties.

Results of the Nov. 6 election were certified by the county canvassing board Nov. 27. Although highest in the state, local turnout in this year’s presidential election was two percentage points lower than the last presidential election, 2008.

Auditor Milene Henley, manager of local elections, noted in a press release that the combination of three significant charter propositions, three county council races and a state referendum on same-sex marriage all helped to spark interest among local voters. Historically, San Juan County has one of the state’s highest voter turnouts.

Henley noted that a statewide initiative seeking to legalize marijuana may have also contributed to this year’s “high” turnout.

tions are available at the auditor’s office in Friday Harbor, via mail, or online, at the auditor’s portion of the county website, www. sanjuanco.com; fee is $60.

Rave review for ’Walk in Woods’

“A Walk in the Woods” by Island Stage Left is a powerful and pertinent story, with humor and insight, about the art of international political negotiation.

Useful info about writers revealed

The editorial staff of the San Juan Journal is to be commended for their standard policy of making the average reader aware of any official or political association of authors of letters or articles published in the Journal.

Unfortunately, a few authors, accidentally or otherwise, refrain from stating their actual position with their group. For example, I’ll specifically mention two such recent incidents.

No. 1: In the Nov. 21 issue Mr. Kyle Loring authored an article extolling his one-sided extreme radical environmental opinion regarding the CAO and other issues (“Of coal ships and critical areas”, pg. 7). At no time did Mr. Loring make any reference whatsoever to his position as the staff attorney of Friends of the San Juans.

Fortunately, at the end of the article the Editor’s note revealed to the readers his association.

Example No. 2: In the Sept. 26, 2012 issue Ms.

Stephanie Buffum authored a similar biased extreme environmental article expanded her one-sided views (“Time is now to be better prepared”, pg. 5).

In this article Ms. Buffum gave no indication or reference that she is the executive director of Friends of the San Juans. But this fact was exposed in the “Editor’s note” following the article.

We are indebted to the editor for doing so.

It’s interesting and instructive that neither author saw fit to acknowledge their close association with Friends of the San Juans. The initial concept for forming that organization was excellent but they seem to have drifted to extreme environmentalism and with apparently unlimited funds now publish and inundate people in the San Juans with endless publications and propaganda.

It seems to me private property owners have in general proven to be excellent stewards of their land.

Tyra Park Seattle — Editor’s note: a selfdescribed boating enthusiast, Ms. Park has been a frequent visitor to the islands for more than 40 years.

Proven leader; Pratt for council

The prospect of losing Lovel Pratt’s experience and expertise on our County Council is a concern to many of us.

Lovel is a proven leader for this community, from creating permanently affordable housing to having the vision for Brickworks and managing the project from the feasibility study to the property purchase. From my work

in regional transportation I know that Lovel is respected by state and federal officials, and it is those relationships that have paid off for the county in terms of attention to the ferries and oil spill response.

We need her continued advocacy in Olympia and with our Congressional delegation. I do hope that Lovel will run for the San Juan Island council position. She has my support.

Council races: no place for parties

I recently had a conversation with an Orcas Island neighbor who is helping the SJC Democrats choose and field candidates for the upcoming County Council primary election.

When I expressed surprise that the local SJC Democrat party was politically active in the non-partisan council races he laughed at how naive I was being.

He told me the SJC Democrat activists were shocked when their two council candidates on San Juan Island, incumbents Lovel Pratt and Howie Rosenfeld, lost their elections to non-partisan candidates this November. Both Lovel and Howie had campaigned from the Democrat booth at the County Fair and held “public” meetings at the Democrat headquarters in Friday Harbor.

The belief was that a SJC Democrat endorsement for a candidate and local Democrat Party support made winning an election almost a sure thing in San Juan County. I guess I really am naive.

I actually believe that

council candidates should follow rules under the charter and conduct non-partisan campaigns. If candidates are willing to fudge the clear rules under the charter, it begs the question of what other matters will they be willing to ignore?

The barely disguised partisan campaigns of the two candidates who lost their council seat elections may have seen voters say yes to the charter and no to partisan politics.

The political parties in San Juan County should have the integrity to follow the rules of the charter. They should be scrupulous in not giving any hint of support for one council candidate or another, either up front or behind the scenes.

The San Juan County Charter gained broad public support because citizens were tired of party politics and the political activities of special interests, such as the Friends of the San Juans.

They both will require a lot of repair work (is there a fiberglass repair person out there? We are interested in your expertise).

We put out the word that they were stolen to, hopefully, flush out the guilty person/s, but want all the Cow and Pig fans out there to know that we have them back, and will be working on their repair.

This all may have started out as a prank to someone, but the fact is they did damage to this property, the Cow and Pig, and their prank, whatever it was could have caused an awful accident if someone had swerved to miss the Cow and Pig parts all over the road. Not cool.

We do feel violated.

Election resolve Much to lose in fall over fiscal cliff

N

ext week, candidates will be filing for the April election to the new three-person San Juan County Council.

Each candidate must campaign county-wide, and must file as a resident of one of three districts, roughly corresponding to San Juan, Orcas and Lopez/Shaw islands.

What the candidate cannot do, however, is file for election as a member of a political party. The county charter specifies that council positions are “non-partisan.”

The charter doesn’t say candidates cannot be a member of, or be supported by, a political party.

Nor does it specify that members of a political party, or the political party itself, cannot endorse, contribute to, or work for a given candidate. To do so would surely be a violation of constitutional guaranties of free association and free speech.

Non-partisan elections are a fine idea. They force candidates to do more than identify with a political party in order to get elected. And voters need to hear the positions and philosophy of candidates without having those positions identified as, or tailored to fit, a particular political party’s positions.

But any suggestion that anybody, either individually or as part of a group, should be excluded from elections and electioneering should be viewed with skepticism.

We recognize that political parties and “special interests” can be a source of dysfunction and frustration, both locally and nationally.

But we’d much rather they come right out in public with their endorsements and contributions and positions on issues. Then you can make up your mind with maximum information.

Perhaps we can find solace in William Penn’s conclusion: “He that espouses parties can hardly divorce himself from their fate; and more fall with their party than rise with it.”

A balanced approach will be critical in cutting the deficit without undermining economic growth

A

By U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen

hundred thousand fewer kids in Head Start.

Thousands of fewer agents securing our borders.

More than 2,000 fewer research grants to combat cancer, Alzheimer’s and other diseases. And a $2,200 tax hike for the average American family.

Those are just a few of the consequences scheduled to take effect at the end of this month if Congress and the President do not reach an agreement to stop the United States economy from barreling off the fiscal cliff.

The fiscal cliff is a combination of automatic spending cuts and tax increases. The automatic cuts in both defense and domestic spending would limit vital services and lead to thousands of layoffs. The tax increases would cut into every paycheck, leading consumers to spend $200 billion less and send our economy back into recession.

I know how important it is to get our budget deficits under control and start paying down the national debt. In fact, I was one of only 38 members of Congress from both parties to vote for a budget this year that would cut the deficit by $4 trillion over 10 years.

I favor a bold and balanced plan—but there must be a plan. The spending cuts and tax hikes that come with the fiscal cliff are reckless and would undermine our alreadyfragile economic growth.

What is at stake if we go over the cliff? Here are just a few examples: School districts that serve large numbers of military families and Indian tribes like Oak Harbor, Marysville and Ferndale will get a huge cut in funding, directly hurting kids in the classrooms.

Seniors in Snohomish County would for the first time face a waiting list for Meals on Wheels, which would have to cut 10,000 meals a year.

More than 24,500 Homeland Security personnel would lose their jobs, leading to longer wait times at the borders and a decreased ability to stop the flow of illegal drugs into our communities.

Cuts to the Federal Aviation Administration would lead airlines to scale back their operations. If Delta and United buy fewer planes, we’ll see job losses at all our aerospace manufacturers, from Boeing down to small suppliers.

So what should we do?

First, we need to make middle-class tax cuts permanent, providing economic certainty to families and preventing another recession. The Senate has already passed leg-

Council runs off course with CAO

As the wife of John Evans, three-term County Commissioner 1992-2003, I have some insight on how

difficult it can be for elected officials to reach a reasonable decision on planning and land use regulation in San Juan County.

John’s term in office saw the implementation of the Growth Management Act (approved by the previous commissioners) and the drafting of the Unified Development Code that implemented the new GMA Comprehensive Plan.

John and his fellow commissioners worked hard to be sure that the regulations in the new UDC made sense for the county staff to implement and were understandable for the citizen applicants. They had a lot of help; a highly qualified UDC citizens committee which met weekly for months, the prosecuting attorney, Randy

islation extending these tax cuts. Leaders of the House of Representatives have so far refused to allow me and my colleagues vote on this bill.

Second, we need to restore the tax rates for the richest 2 percent to what they were in the high-growth 1990s. This is not about class warfare; it is about fairness.

Throughout the recession, middle-class Americans Contributed photo have suffered layoffs, wage stagnation and the loss of Rick Larsen property value. But the richest have continued to do well, while not being asked to chip in to tackle our deficit.

Third, we must maintain the vital investments that help our economy grow. Repairing our roads, bridges, highways and ferries does not just create jobs today, but it builds the foundation for long-term growth. Expanded Pell Grants and subsidized student loans help kids go to college today, and prepare them to contribute more in the workforce tomorrow.

Finally, we must get serious about strengthening Medicare and Social Security for future generations. To preserve Social Security, we should end the cap on earnings that is subject to the Social Security tax. Currently all income above $110,100 is exempt from the tax. That means that someone making $10 million a year pays the same amount into Social Security as someone who makes a hundredth of that.

As it stands, Medicare will be insolvent by 2024. We have several opportunities to save money in Medicare while improving patient care and preserving the guaranteed benefit for all. That includes expanding efforts to root out fraud and expand pilot initiatives that tie Medicare payments to the quality of care, rather than the quantity of care delivered.

There are no sacred cows. Both Democrats and Republicans must commit to a balanced approach that will cut the deficit in a meaningful way without undermining economic growth. There is no doubt that we are going to feel pain in the next few years. But if we do this right, a decade from now we will be a stronger country for the work we do today.

— Editor’s note: re-elected for a 7th term in November, U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Everett, represents Washington state’s 2nd congressional district, which includes Island and San Juan counties, and portions of King, Skagit, Snohomish and Whatcom counties.

Gaylord and planning director, Laura Arnold.

The current UDC, that came from this collaborative process, has worked for the last decade because the three commissioners made the effort and took the time to be sure the regulations made sense and supported the Comprehensive Plan.

The council’s Critical Areas Ordinance does neither.

The current County Council has taken a different approach. They have created a totally new critical areas ordinance with little or no “testing” to understand how the CAO can be implemented or affect applicants.

The new 115 pages of rules, regulations and definitions are open to wide interpretation. The CAO is a lawyer’s dream; vague and arbitrary.

In the process of creating the CAO, the council held three-member closed CAO meetings. Those closed meetings are now the subject of a legal challenge from the Citizen Alliance for Property Rights for failure to comply with the Washington state Open Public Meetings Act. The council has been told by individual citizens, Common Sense Alliance, CAPR and even the Friends that the CAO is a mess. No matter.

The council is determined to pass their CAO before the end of the year, warts and all. What a legacy they are creating for themselves and what a liability for the citizens of San Juan County.

Samuel Alexander Carter: 1982 — 2012 Samuel Alexander Carter of Friday Harbor died Friday, Nov. 23, 2012, of an accidental drowning, sometime after 12:30 a.m.

He was 30 years old.

Born March 5, 1982, in Grand Forks, British Columbia, Canada, Sam is the son of Thomas R. Carter and Nina A. White.

Sam attended 1st-12th grade in Friday Harbor, also attending Skagit Valley Community College and Shoreline Community College, where he earned his high school diploma and most of his credits toward an associate arts degree. During that time, he enjoyed rich friendships with peers and faculty, always living by Mr. Westphalen’s “Golden Rule”.

After graduation, in 2001, Sam, along with Todd Lowen, Casey Baisch, Brook Melville and Rosa Blair (mentored by Ben White), spent the next year studying for ISA certifica-

tion for arbor culture, passing all but one section of the rigorous exam.

Sam balanced commercial fishing in Alaska with arborist work in the San Juan Islands for his remaining years.

Finding community in three states: Alaska, California and Washington, Sam spent his summers fishing, falls doing arborist work and winters with close friends. He loved snowboarding, reading cook books, developing recipes and most of all cooking for friends.

With a kind smile and warm sincere interest, he met the world each day. The ring of his laughter as he engaged small children will echo eternally in the canopied foliage of the trees he so dearly loved.

He will be sorely missed…

Losing his mother at age 11, he never got over the pain of her absence; one of his wishes was to be buried by her side.

His ashes were transported to Egegik, Alaska on Dec. 3,

where he is surely now resting in his mother’s arms.

Sam found his way into many hearts in the community and his family thanks them all for their support during this time of loss.

Sam is survived by his father, Thomas Carter and wife Tamara Carter, stepmother Sarah Bergman, brother Ray Chmiel, sister Alycia Johnson and brother Christian Carter, aunts and Contributed photo uncles; Deanna, Jessica, Samuel Alexander Carter Roy, Margo, Theresa, Nora and Hazel, and grandmother Margret Horton, and many cousins, nephews and nieces.

There was a small gathering at Evans Funeral Home on Sunday, Dec. 2, 2012, giving family and close friends an opportunity to say “good-bye” before Sam was flown to Alaska. A funeral in the Egegik Baptist Church, with Paul Bischoffski officiating, was held Monday, Dec. 3, 2012, at 11 a.m.

A celebration of Sam’s life will be held at the Friday Harbor Grange, Dec. 23, 2012. The family encourages all who knew Sam to come and to share in the lasting joy his life gave us all.

The Wolverines jumped out to an early lead, finishing the opening quarter with a 8-9 advantage, Saturday, in their season opener at South Whidbey.

After that, the well went dry for the Friday Harbor offense, which managed just two points in the second quarter and three in the third period. ““The game started great,” Coach Eric Jangard said. “We did everything we needed to win the game, except put the ball in the basket.”

‘Comedy Tour’: Take 2

F

riday Harbor is already decked out in much of its holiday finest. But the festivities truly hit their stride with back-toback time-honored traditions, beginning Thursday, with the historical museum’s Annual Old-Fashioned Holiday Celebration.

While the annual celebration will feature a healthy dose of music and song, the edibles are nothin’ to sneeze at either. The fare includes zesty chili and Ivar’s clam chowder, hot cider and cookies by the dozen. The Barbershop Singers and the San Juan Singers, along with local musician Ian Byington, will help ring in the season with music, caroling and a long list of favorite holiday tunes.

You can take a turn in helping to trim a tree, marvel at the museum’s winter wonderland toy train set or bask in the bonfire’s warmth and glow as well. The celebration is 5-8 p.m. at the museum, 405 Price St. Info, 378-3949, or www.sjmuseum.org.

The following day, the town’s yearly transformation into a winter wonderland reaches its zenith, with a flick of the switch at the Annual Island Lights Celebration With huge lighted snowflakes adorning lamp posts throughout the town, and shops all aglow and sparkling with holiday spirit, the event signals the true start of the holiday season .

Sponsored by the San Juan Island Chamber of Commerce, the festivities get under way at 4:30 p.m., with the lighting of Memorial Park’s venerable and stately trees at 5 p.m.

With an entire new strand of holiday lights ready to be strung, compliments of the Chamber and the Town of Friday Harbor, this year’s “flipping of the switch” promises to be both intriguing and spectacular, Chamber Events Coordinator Rebecca Parks assures.

“Last year the old lights finally bit the dust,” she said. “This year we have all new lights, thanks to the Town of Friday Harbor and the Chamber of Commerce.”

The annual tree lighting ceremony is just one of the many fes-

Around Town ‘Water’s Edge Lecture Series’; Elwha unbound

leading guided walks in the Olympic National Park more than a decade ago.

Kessler’s photographs have been published worldwide and he is at work on a writing/photo project focused on the Elwha.

Holiday Book Sale, Saturday Contributed photo

Removal of Glines Canyon Dam began in autumn 2012.

Once upon a time, the Elwha River contained one of the Olympic Peninsula’s most important and abundant salmon runs. Then came the dams.

But on Oct. 24, the base of the Glines Canyon Dam was notched low enough that its impoundment of Lake Mills ceased to exist, and the Elwha, for the first time in almost 100 years, flowed free once more.

Explore the unique history of the Elwha River and the long, remarkable journey that led to removal of its dams in the next episode of the San Juans Stewardship Network’s At the Water’s Edge Lecture series: “Elwha River Dam Removal & Restoration: A Photographic Journey with Eric Kessler”. The presentation is Thursday, Dec. 6, 6-7 p.m., at the Grange Hall in Friday Harbor. Admission is free.

Photographer and naturalist Kessler has photographed, explored and been a guide on the Elwha River for 35 years. The San Juan Island resident studied the natural history of the Olympic Peninsula at Evergreen State College before stumbling into a career as a naturalist and

Skippers sought for 21st Lighted Boat Parade

Friday Harbor will be home once again to one of San Juan Island’s longestrunning holiday traditions, as the 21st annual Lighted Boat Parade sets the stage for the 52nd consecutive yearly arrival of the Santa Ship, Saturday, Dec. 15.

Sponsored by Friday Harbor Sailing Club, the Lighted Boat Parade sets sail out of Shipyard Cove at 4:45 p.m., and makes two laps around the harbor as the procession passes twice

by Spring Street Landing to the cheers and the delight of a gathering of fans and onlookers.

To commemorate the parade’s 21st year, the Sailing

Club is looking for 21 boats to participate. The event is open to all sailors and power boaters, with the Port of Friday Harbor offering free moorage for the evening to out-of-area boaters registered and participating in the parade.

For parade info, Gloria Bentzen, 378-4288; for info about the Santa Ship, John Bostrom, 298-1256; for information about free moorage for the night of the event, Harbormaster Tammy Hayes, 378-2688.

Audition Friday for FHMS play

An open audition for the 2013 Friday Harbor Middle School play, “Escape from Nemotex”, will get under way Friday, Dec. 7, at 3:30 p.m., in the high school drama room.

Written by Paul Lavraas, the sci-fi fantasy features an environmental message, wrapped in humor, and presented in a wildly inventive plot, with equally inventive characters.

The middle school production will feature a cast of 28 seventh and eighth grade students, selected by drama coach Jane Maxwell Campbell. Rehearsals begin Jan. 22; the play will be presented on the main stage of San Juan Community Theatre, March 22-24. For audition information, contact Campbell, 378-7766.

for a return engagement Dec. 7 — with a twist.

This time around, it’s comedian Bill Robinson who will join forces with magician Steve Hamilton to deliver the Comedy Tour’s one-of-a-kind variety show.

A year ago, Hamilton shared the stage with juggler Matt Baker and together the two “wowed” the crowd.

Robinson, known for a penchant for the absurd and a reckless abandon, has been intertwining comedic mayhem, wacky music, costumes, sound effects and audience participation while delivering familyfriendly hilarity for more than 25 years. Together with Hamilton’s spontaneous magic, the two promise “one hilarious show for all ages.”

Tickets: $12 adults, $6 student reserved, $5 dayof-the-show student RUSH. The show features free popcorn and soda, courtesy of the Community Arts Theatre Society. For info, tickets, 360-378-3210, or www.sjctheatre.org.
