Revitalized, cleared for takeoff Bald eagle nursed back to health at Wolf Hollow; injured during battle in flight

Finances top the list of early priorities; council now includes three new legislators

By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

“Opening Day” is big in baseball and fishing – and for the San Juan County Council as well.

A proposal by Interim County Manager Bob Jean for a series of “community conversations” about future budgets and taxes highlights the first day’s schedule, which also includes empanelment of the new council and consideration of how to pick a county manager to replace Pete Rose, the prior county administrator.

After a formal swearing-in for Rick Hughes of Orcas Island and Bob Jarman and Marc Forlenza of San Juan Island, all of whom are announced candidates for the three-person council, the present council will elect a council chair. Tradition suggests Jaimie Stephens, the present vice chairman, will get the nod, leaving the vice chairman slot to Rich Peterson, the third holdover, along with Patty Miller, from the 2012 council.

Stephens will also be nominated by the council on Tuesday See Priorities, Page 4

Nursed back to health during a two-month stay at Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabiliation Center, an adult bald eagle is released back into the wild, Jan. 5, at the south end of San Juan Island.

A day behind schedule, perhaps, but Lorraine DeLee Eastman easily claimed the distinction of being San Juan County’s first baby of 2013, just the same.

Born Jan. 2, at 8:52 a.m. at Mount Vernon’s Skagit Valley Hospital, Lorraine is the daughter Friday Harbor’s Giovanna Drew and Ed Eastman, and she is the first girl born to either of her parents, whose “blended” modern family boasts three boys, Aiden, 11, Issac, 8, and Zayden, 5, as well.

With the sheet thrown back and cage door opened, a once-injured adult bald eagle needed only but a few seconds to clear its 6-foot wingspan from its temporary entrapment, gain its footing, and then, without even a hint of hesitation, off it soared.

About a dozen well-wishers braved the icy winds of a chilly Saturday morning to cheer on and wave so long to the 12-pound female, which swiftly rose above a nearby parking lot and, riding on a steady surge of wind gusts, made a bee-line directly toward a tree-lined ridge on the south end of San Juan Island, not far from where it was recovered, severely injured, just two months earlier.

“Being able to have had a part in the rescue was huge for me,” said Kathy Farron, a local realtor who just happened to be at the south end of the island, checking on a listing, when a

Ownership of IPS changes hands Tutored, groomed by former owner, Eltinge takes over helm at IPS

By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

Jim Schuman decided in 2010 that he wanted someone else to answer complaints about the high price of fuel on San Juan Islands.

He didn’t have to look far. In fact, Schuman, then-owner of Island Petroleum Services, hired Adam Eltinge two years ago to take over some of the Schuman’s management responsibilities, and worked out a transition which resulted in Eltinge buying IPS in late 2012.

Eltinge has heard islander complaints about high fuel prices, but points to the high transport costs (diesel can be carried on the ferries, gas must be brought on the landing barge Henry Island) and the lower sales volumes as the reason for the prices. He’s more upset, however, about the future unavailability of ethanol-free fuel in Washington.

“It is a real shame that lawmakers put our residents in the position of not

having ethanol-free fuel as an option,” Eltinge said. “All of those people who own older cars, small engines, and marine vessels are going to suffer the repair costs or a higher potential for breakdown.”

IPS has long been a supplier of fuel for cars and boats on San Juan Island, managing facilities on Carter Avenue and at the Friday Harbor fuel dock.

They transport gas, diesel and home heating oil to their San Juan Island facilities, to Island Hardware on Orcas, and to Roche Harbor’s gas station and fuel dock.

Eltinge, 38, was born and grew up on Fox Island, and attended Gig Harbor High School. He attended Washington State University, where he majored in business and construction management, and worked for eight years for a residential real estate developer in the Redmond and Woodinville areas.

Eltinge is a regular racquetball player, relishing opportunities to take on local competition, like David Morton and former sheriff Bill Cumming.

His wife, Deanna Sundstrom Eltinge, who works for the Port of Friday Harbor, made returning to her San Juan Island roots one of the conditions for marrying him, a condition Adam was happy to make happen when they brought their two teenagers to the island and to the family farm in 2009. In 2010, Eltinge was hired as project manager for the Brickworks renovation, a position he relinquished when he went to work at IPS.

New NPS dinghy dock features 115-foot pier

Lovel ELECT

Pratt

Completed Dec. 21, the dock project also includes new safety railings leading from the pier to English Camp’s Bell Point trail Boaters calling at San Juan Island National Historical Park’s English Camp next summer will step onto a new era when they tie up at the park’s new dinghy dock on Garrison Bay. The 115-foot long pier, with a 40-foot perpendicular float at the end, was completed Dec. 21 by A1 Marine Services of Friday Harbor, sub-contracting for R.H.D. Enterprises of Tacoma, fabricator of the pier and float fabricator. The project also included new safety railings for the steep stone stairway leading from the pier to the park’s Bell Point trail, north of the parade ground.

“This is the culmination of years of planning and engineering by National Park Service and contract designers and engineers,” park maintenance foreman Ken Arzarian said. “The result is a solid, safe structure that, because of its steel grating surface, will have a minimal impact on the marine environment, particularly eel grass, which has become a threatened species on the bay in recent years.”

English Camp is one of two units in the park that commemorates the peaceful resolution of the final chapter in the Northwest Boundary dispute between the United States and Great Britain. Military forces from both nations jointly occupied the island for more than 12 years without incident.

English Camp was held by the British Royal Marines, American Camp by the U.S. TEMPERATURES, RAINFALL Army.

1986 to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the park.

Since then, the park has become a destination anchorage for hundreds of visiting boaters over the summer months, as well as for islanders dropping crab pots or seeking a quiet spot to enjoy nature.

But daily use was limited over the years because the float would bottom out at low tide. This not only damaged the structure over time but had a negative impact on the eel grass and underwater cultural resources.

The eight piles that support the pier were driven 20 feet below the bay floor, six of them into bed rock that required extensive drilling when project was launched Dec. 3.

Final planning for the project began in May 2011, when the park received the go-ahead to proceed with replacement of the 140-foot floating dock, originally installed in 1984.

Extensive maintenance was performed on the dock over the years — the ramp from shore to float was replaced in 2008 — but rusting fittings, rotting wood and deteriorating floats spurred to park to seek funds for replacement.

Park Superintendent Lee Taylor said that great care was taken to ensure that no archaeological resources were affected, and that shoreline health was not compromised during the construction process.

series of distinctive but unfamiliar shrieks pierced the quiet of Cape San Juan that day.

“It sounded so different than a normal eagle cry,” Farron said. “I realized that it had to be a cry of distress.”

Sure enough, with help and assistance of the property owner next door, she discovered a pair bald eagles wedged and trapped between a heavy thicket of shrubs and a very large set of boulders, their talons locked together tightly.

Instinctively, they called Wolf Hollow.

Shona Aiken, education coordinator of the wildlife rehabilitation center, said it’s not uncommon for bald eagles, whether in a mating ritual or territorial dispute, to lock talons in the air. She said that it was evident at the scene, however, that there was no love lost between the two birds.

“This was more of a fight,” she said.

One of the birds broke free and flew off while the rescue was under way. The other suffered an injury to its leg that left the lower limb “dangling” by its side and effectively useless. Aiken said the animal would have had “zero” chance of capturing or holding onto prey in the wild given the extent of theSOLD injury. Fortunately, x-rays showed no broken bones.

After two months of intensive care, treatment and rehab, the bald eagle, the 16th treated at Wolf Hollow in 2012, was back in top-flight form, cleared for takeoff and headed back into the wild.

Only two of the 16 bald eagle patients cared for in 2012 are still undergoing treatment. Coincidentally, those two were also found with their talons locked, screaming and thrashing around in the woods near San Juan Island’s Carter Beach Road. Each is recuperating from wing and foot injuries.

Celebration for Dodie Post Gann, Jan. 19, at fairgrounds

Friends of Dodie Post Gann will get together Saturday, Jan. 19, for a celebration at the Marie Boe Building at the fairgrounds in Friday Harbor.

The celebration, an informal gathering of friends and family (initially scheduled at the airport), is 2-4 p.m.

Post Gann died Dec. 24, on Christmas Eve, at the age of 90. In the event of inclement weather, the celebration will take place inside the main exhibit at the fairgrounds, 846 Argyle Avenue.

League hosts candidate forums

The local League of Women Voters will sponsor three candidate forums, on San Juan, Orcas and Lopez islands, prior to the Feb. 12 county council primary election.

The forums, which will feature candidates competing in the District 1 (San Juan) and District 2 (Orcas) primary races, begin Monday, Jan. 14, on San Juan, at Friday Harbor Middle School, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The forum on Orcas is Jan. 16, at the Senior Center, 5-7 p.m., and Grace Episcopal Church on Lopez, Jan. 17, 5-7 p.m.

Priorities:

Continued from page 1 to replace former councilman Richard Fralick as the county’s representative on the Puget Sound Salmon Recovery Council. The county Marine Resources Committee has already recommended Stephens’ nomination.

Options for recruitment of a permanent county manager will be discussed, and the council may decide to move ahead with hiring a consultant to conduct the employment search for Pete Rose’s replacement.

Two recruitment companies, Prothman of Issaquah and Bob Murray & Associates of Roseville, Calif., have submitted proposals for the search, which is expected to cost about $25,000.

Councilman Rich Peterson thinks that hiring a consultant “makes sense,” especially because use of a consultant in the hiring of both the interim county manager, Jean, and director of Public Works, Frank Mulcahy, “has worked out very well for the county.”

Before the search gets serious, however, the council must draft a job description for the new position, which the Charter Revision Commission successfully presented to the voters in November as a replacement for the “independent” county administrator provided for in the original Home Rule Charter passed in 2005.

Interim county manager Bob Jean suggested in a memo to the council that May 13 should be the target date for selecting a manager. That would mean the new three-person council would select the manager

shortly after results of the April election are certified and a new 3-person council sworn in.

Jean’s proposal for a series of community meetings in 2013 was warmly received at 2012 council meetings, and his latest memo outlining a budget and agendas for the meetings will be up for early approval by the council.

In a Dec. 18 memo, Jean laid out his reasoning: “It is time to engage the broader community in a full discussion about the essential role of county government, its services and service delivery, and our economic and fiscal sustainability.”

The challenges that need to be addressed, according to Jean, are the “Great Recession”-induced budget and staffing cuts, future fiscal challenges as the recession recedes, ongoing environmental, planning, health care and transportation budget planning, and transition to new governance models after the recent changes to the county charter.

The council supported the concept last year, and Patty Miller, Stephens and Peterson are expected to continue their support.

Miller said the meetings were a good idea.

“The bottom line is we are dealing with the taxpayers’ money,” she said. “Are we focusing the money on the services and priorities that the citizens want?”

Peterson believes the meetings will be “worth the effort,” but “only if a broad cross section of the community gets involved.”

Both Miller and Peterson mentioned that the possibility of a 2016 levy lift ballot issue was one matter needing to be discussed.

Obituaries

Christopher Schutza: 1971 — 2012 In the early morning hours of Dec. 10, when the tide was low, Chris slipped his moorings and sailed away… over the unknown shore greeted by friends and family who sailed away before.

Chris was born on Sept. 2, 1971 in Dallas, Texas, to Norman and Patricia Schutza. He grew up in Dallas, and attended school there.

At the age of 21, he set sail on a new journey and landed in Friday Harbor, where he met his wife of 17 years, Holly Mason Schutza, and raised a family. Chris was a man of many talents. He worked in the grocery business for years, then moved on to construction; he was an artist, tattooist, musician, and writer, but what he cherished most was his quiet, private family life.

Chris was blessed with five beautiful, talented, unique children, and he was always so proud. Chris was well known for his

fun, crazy humor, gentle spirit, kind heart; he was a true gentleman. He will be greatly missed by all those that he touched.

Chris is survived by his wife, Holly Mason Schutza, of Friday Harbor; sons Christopher Schutza Jonathon Schutza of Seattle, Kristopher Mason of Friday Harbor, London Schutza of Friday Harbor, daughters Chloe and Phoebe Schutza of Friday Harbor, brother J.J. and Heather of Mount Vernon, mother Patricia Schutza and father Norman Schutza of Dallas, Texas.

His “Celebration of Life” was held at Paideia School, on Jan. 6, 2013, followed by a reception.

Cutbacks by WSF ignore its mission

In its relentless search for ways to reduce costs, Washington State Ferries has found a new way to reduce crew complements on some of its vessels: limit the number of passengers that will be carried. (And here I thought WSF’s mission was to carry customers.)

I wonder whether they’ve thought this idea all the way through: Ferries could further constrain passengers on its boats by carrying no one, place a similar limitation on vehicles, and thus eliminate all its crew members and save even more.

Rights, privilege not the same

As a licensed school psychologist and clinical mental health professional in two states, I read with amusement the recent article in the Journal (“Priorities Misplaced

in Background Checks”, Dec. 26, pg.7) authored by

a local man seeking to be recognized as an attorney in Washington via admission to the Washington Bar Association. I must say, “Brother, I feel your pain!”

Mr. Power is incredulous regarding the requirement of references and fees for a background investiga-

tion process, which to the Washington Bar Association somehow provides an assurance of competence and public safety in the practice of law. The Washington Bar Association and Mr. Power are struggling to accommodate and understand the similarities and differences between a privilege and a right.

First, the concept that a background check for possession of a firearm is much less cumbersome and expedient from that of a license to practice law in this state is based on the fact that the privilege of practicing law is not a constitutionally protected right (thank God).

That important fact is very significant.

Competency in professional or occupation practices regulated by state law is purposefully cumbersome and designed to be so whether you are a plumber, psychologist, physician or lawyer. Occupational licensing is not a right — it is a privilege granted by the state.

A right is something we already possess — a privilege is something granted us by another. As such, the sanctioning by proper authority of citizens to exercise rights and privileges will differ.

The process and costs to Mr. Power in pursuit of his license to practice law and the background check conducted when he purchased his gun are both designed for a similar purpose — to provide some assurance to the public that the person practicing law or possessing a firearm is forever safe to do so under both circumstances. Sadly and clearly, neither accomplishes that goal.

Better choice lies in private sector

The upcoming council election has candidates from each district who give voters a welcome alternative to the prior council’s approach to governing.

Brian McClerren from Lopez, Bob Jarman and Marc Forlenza from San Juan and Rick Hughes, Greg Ayers and Lisa Byers from Orcas Island were not part of the prior council that imposed the mind-numbing Critical Areas Ordinance on the citizens of the county.

Except for Lisa Byers, whose career has been with government funded nonprofits, all the candidates listed above have recent private sector experience.

Despite the council/charter elections being nonpartisan, the progressive liberal wing of the San Juan County Democrat Party is supporting candidates Lisa Byers, Lovel Pratt and Jamie Stephens.

Greg Ayers and Rick Hughes, Marc Forlenza and Bob Jarman and Brian McClerren are keeping faith with the non-partisan provision of the SJC charter.

Theirs is a principled but difficult stand to take when facing candidates benefiting from the money and momentum that party poli-

tics generates.

There is a choice to make. Past council members Jamie Stephens and Lovel Pratt never saw an off-island grant-funded program they didn’t like.

With their approval, our county government ended up with staff, funding and/ or agendas from powerful off-island organizations including the Puget Sound Partnership, Northwest Straits, Salmon Recovery, Tribes and the Department of Ecology. These groups are directly funding programs for Eco-Net, the Friends and the SJC Marine Resources Committee who, in turn, vigorously support the off-island agendas to the council and planning staff.

With this outside influence, the prior council voted consistently for extensive new restrictions on the public, has re-written our Comprehensive Plan and ignored the balance required

by Growth Management Act for land-use planning.

Guest Column

Take the time WSF: a reasoned move to cut costs

O

ne of the sad things about the recent demise of Dodie Post Gann was that many, perhaps most, of us never had the chance to know her or talk with her.

Sure, we knew she was Ernest K.’s wife, and some knew that Ernie Gann’s wife was accomplished as a pilot, Olympic athlete, animal rights advocate, fond of history and an environmentalist as well.

But not many of us knew she was a great communicator, a talker who could tell you stories about her youth and her life that you could marvel at and learn from. And she’s not the only one.

We would have loved to hear Else Gabriel tell about her youthful flight from pre-war Nazi Germany to Kenya, then Uganda, Palestine, and Cyprus. According to her daughter, sometimes you didn’t want to hear it any more, but she listened and we should too, if given the opportunity.

Our islands are becoming a haven for a lot of people like Dodie Gann and Else Gabriel. People who have exceeded “normal life expectancy,” but who can still inspire us, educate us, even thrill us with stories of their lives, of people they knew, of defeats they suffered and victories they achieved.

Most old people like to talk. Of course, some of them don’t want to talk, with you or anyone else. Some of them can’t, because of infirmity or impairment or just contrariness.

And some of them may simply agree with Satchel Paige, who advised, “Don’t look back.

Something may be gaining on you.”

But that shouldn’t stop you from honoring them with a kind word, and if possible, engaging them in conversation about . . . well, about almost anything. Not necessarily for their benefit, but for yours.

It’s January now, and many of us are looking ahead — some with anticipation, some with dread. But we can’t let people like Dodie Gann and Else Gabriel leave us without remembering them, and, hopefully before they die, without letting them remember — and tell us.

In the end, hopefully for the good that one does, sometimes for the bad, we have to think, like Linda in Death of a Salesman speaking of Willie Loman, “Attention, attention must finally be paid to such a person.

San Juan County Ferry Advisory chairman Jim Corenman issued the following statement late last week concerning staffing changes on state ferries and their effect on passenger capacity and the availability of ferry service:

A

By Jim Corenman

s many are aware, there have been recent changes to the number of crew required to staff some of the ferries, which have increased operating costs.

The latest chapter involves a provision by the U.S. Coast Guard which allows alternate staffing levels for the Super class ferries (Elwha, Hyak, Kaleetan and Yakima), by reducing one deck crew if the upper passenger (galley) deck is closed and passengers are limited to 450, and by two deckcrew if limited to 300.

During the winter season, when the galleys are closed and passenger loads are light, this is a viable option for some routes to save some badly needed operating funds.

Where things got off track is that ferries viewed this as an operational change that would be “invisible” to the public with no service impacts.

While that is certainly the goal, reducing passenger capacity always has the potential to reduce service, and the FAC believes that discussion was needed. We had a constructive conversation with George Capacci (deputy chief for operations and construction) and Ray Deardorf

He is well respected in the community and studies problems seriously. Bob looks for solutions in a nonpartisan way, considering other opinions. He has fresh perspectives and can learn quickly.

I encourage my island neighbors to attend a public council meeting and see how well Bob will represent you. By the February primary, you’ll be able to make an informed vote. Mine will be for Bob Jarman.

Backing Byers in Orcas council race

For the past six-and-a-half years, I have served on the board of OPAL Community Land Trust, the organization for which Lisa Byers has been executive director for 17 years.

Based on those years of working with Lisa, I enthusiastically urge you to vote for her for county council.

Frankly, we will miss her at OPAL, but she is so remarkably good that the whole

county deserves her. Here are my reasons: First, Lisa is — hands down — the most competent person I have ever worked with, or for. She is thorough, works quickly but accurately, and has a gift for numbers (including budgets) and for making complex issues clear.

She is always thoroughly prepared for any meeting, always comes ready to provide more background information should it be needed, and follows up with all decisions or questions immediately and completely. She is also remarkably creative in finding novel solutions to complex problems.

If this sounds like an impossibly positive set of qualities, I can only assure you that this written description is less impressive than the actuality.

Second, Lisa is a terrific listener. If you disagree with her, she doesn’t get defensive or insist on her own position; she hears you out, searches for points of agreement, asks good questions, and finds a way to reach consensus.

Third, Lisa Byers has a deep and enduring commitment to the health of our community. As evidence of that commitment, she has participated in — and often chaired — innumerable committees and forums on Orcas and throughout the county.

She understands the county’s strengths and weaknesses, and because

(planning director).

Ferries agreed that the FAC should be in the loop on this issue, and provided detailed information on the planned crew changes.

The plan for the San Juan routes is to close the upper passenger deck and reduce the crew complement by one on the Super class vessels (limiting passengers to 450), only for days when the passenger load is expected to be very light, and only for the winter schedule when the galley is normally closed. For Fridays, Sundays and holidays, or for any special events days, the boats will be fully crewed with the normal passenger capacity of 1,782. For the days when a reduced capacity is planned, historical passenger loads never exceeded 300, so the limit of 450 provides a reasonable margin.

Ferries have shared passenger data with the FAC and we agree that the likelihood of a passenger overload is extremely low. The savings are modest but even small savings add up, and we feel that this is a good opportunity for ferries to reduce costs.

This doesn’t solve the ferries budget issues of course, and we again urge the legislature to establish a dedicated, stable funding source for ferries.

— Editor’s note: the following information was distributed as a press release by San Juan County’s communications department.

of her broad involvement, she has a wide network of county residents on whom she can call for answers to questions or for assistance.

San Juan County has a full array of tough problems to be solved. Lisa Byers is, above all, a supremely good problem solver. She will be a wonderful county councilperson.

Vote Forlenza he’ll manage well

There is an old truism that; “Ineffective people can make a great organization structure fail, and conversely, good people can make a bad structure work”.

This saying is particularly pertinent in our county today since we have been dealt an abominable structure with its three council members simultaneously directing county operations and one largely impotent “manager” standing by to do their will with no separation of powers.

In this next primary election we better elect at least one individual with some proven experience in administration and management or we are going to have a re-run of the decades past. The person that comes immediately to mind for me is Mark Forlenza, who has great management credentials. Marc has strong drive, proven accomplishment, and experience that will allow him to navigate in a fundamentally dysfunction-

al governance structure.

Do not fool yourself that the so-called manager in the surviving charter will solve the issue. I wish the county well in their efforts to hire a strong person; I’ll be amazed, however, if they find such a person who will even consider that position with its clearly deemphasized description. Moreover, if he or she shows some independent gumption, it takes only two council members to fire them. Not the place for a strong independent thinker, and potential applicants will know it.

Marc’s background includes strong experience in business and management along with exceptional work in volunteer efforts that make life better for other people without a self-serving approach. His energy and determination to be a highly effective council member will serve all of us well in the coming months.

Please join me in re-electing Marc Forlenza.

Members of the FHHS Drama Group at work on their roles for the upcoming performance of “Working”.

By Scott Rasmussen

F

ireman, clerk, business executive, waitress. Do you wonder sometimes how others feel about the work they do?

Well, here’s your chance.

The meaning of work will take center stage as the Friday Harbor High School Drama Group tackles one of the more intriguing and thought-provoking stage production ever created about Americans and their attitude about the work that they do, in: “Working”, an adaptation by Stephen Schwartz and Nina Faso of Pulitzer Prize-winning author and radio broadcaster Studs Terkel’s groundbreaking 1974 non-fiction book, “Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do”.

The shows opens Thursday, Jan. 17, at 7:30 p.m., at San Juan Community Theatre, followed by evening performances on Friday and Saturday, and a Sunday matinee, at 2 p.m.

Veteran director Jane Maxwell Campbell, leading the high school drama group since Fred Yocker’s departure two years ago, believes audiences are in for a treat. That’s because “Working” is not you’re typical high school type of production, but rather a montage of individual actors who share the spotlight while conveying the many thoughts, feelings and truth, and the essence, of the work that each of their character does.

“It’s a beautiful production with real people speaking real words about the work they do,” said Campbell, who previously directed the play while working at a California high school. “The kids love the writing and the language, and I think they really like the pathos of the characters and the

The first performances in the festival series consist of “The Little Evening Concerts for Louis XIV,” recreating the regular evening performances

fact that these were real people.”

All those qualities click for Nick Bey, who plays the role of a steel worker who carries a bit of a chip on his shoulder. Bey, who originally intended to be part of the crew, rather than the cast, said the cast has come to embrace the format of the production, grounded in monologue instead of dialogue, after an initial shock.

“At first it was like, ‘What do you mean? We don’t talk to each other?’,” he said. “But the words have real depth to them and everyone gets a chance to shine.”

The production features a cast of 16 actors, a technical crew of nine, musical direction by Grace Willows and Greg Sadowsky on acoustic guitar. The show runs about one hour, followed by a meet-and-greet for audience and actors in the theatre lobby.

The SJCT box office is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tues-Fridays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturdays, and one hour prior to any performance; for more info, www.sjctheatre.org.
