New clash in CAO struggle

Anacortes B & B owner pays $100K for illegal clearcut
By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
It’s not the first time that someone treated its protected land with disregard. But on this occasion, and largely because of the extent of the transgression, the San Juan Preservation Trust came out swinging. As a result, the owner of an Anacortes bed-and-breakfast accused in a Skagit County court of clear-cutting a waterfront nature preserve agreed to pay the Preservation Trust $100,000 to settle the matter before it went to trial. “It’s happened in the past--we call it ‘timber trespass’--and typically we’ve settled,” said Tim Seifert, executive director of the Lopez Island-based land conservation organization. “This time we decided we needed to make an example out of it and to let people know that we’re going to protect our land.” According to the Preservation Trust, the owner of the Ship House Inn presumably ordered the removal of all the trees from a one-quarter acre area of steep waterfront embankment to enhance the view from his lodging establishment. That area is part of the Trust-owned 1.25-mile John H. Geary Shoreline Preserve, See DOWN, Page 3

Past honored in exchange
San Juan County’s controversial update of its critical areas ordinance went into effect at the end of March, but the courtroom battle over the revised set of land-use rules has yet to be resolved. And, opponents on either side are less than pleased with a June 19 ruling in San Juan County Superior Court, in which Judge Don Eaton, siding with an earlier decision by the Western Washington Growth Management Hearings Board, rejected claims See STRUGGLE, Page 4
Historical museum returns early Samish canoe to Indian Nation
Ownership of a Samish canoe, believed to date from pre-contact, has been formally transferred to the Samish Indian Nation from the San Juan Island Historical Society & Museum. Samish has cared for the canoe since 2011, when the historical society began construction of a new exhibit space. As the exhibit space neared completion, Samish requested that the canoe, which is in fragile condition, be repatriated in exchange for new cultural items that the museum can more easily care for and use to teaching the history of the island’s indigenous peoples. The museum board approved the proposal and the transfer took place June 28. Among those present were people from Nooksack, Saanich, Swinomish, as well as Samish. In a ceremony at Samish’s Fidalgo Bay Resort, Samish Chairman Tom Wooten and museum board

Van Go’s, famous name, delicious pie
There’s a secret to making really tasty pizza, one that Daniel Van Hamersfeld knows well. It starts at the bottom. “The key is the dough, and the sauce,” says Van Hamersfeld, who opened Van Go Pizza in February. “If you got good dough and good sauce, you can put whatever else you want on it and it’ll be great.” The pizza is indeed delicious, and the salads equally delightful, and having a patio out back makes an evening out at Van Go Pizza all that much more scrumptious. You just may have to look around a bit to find it. Situated off the beaten path, Van Go is located in the former home of Cafe Bistro, at 180 Web Street. It takes the name from Van Hamersfeld favorite artist and countryman, Vincent Van Gogh. Born and raised in Amsterdam, Van Hamersfeld attended St. Hubertus Culinary Academy in the Journal photo /Scott Rasmussen Netherlands prior to relocating to the U.S. He most recently Chef Daniel Van Hamersfeld takes a moment outside while manned the kitchen and crew at the Vinny’s Ristorante. Van Hamersfeld had a strong suspicion that Friday Harbor prepping for the evening rush was overdue and would embrace a top-notch pizzeria. It at Van Go Pizza. appears that he guessed right. “We opened Feb. 1 and have been busy ever since,” he said. “I’d say about 80 percent of our business is locals and they all seem to love the patio.” And happy with the pizza? “Definitely,” he said. Open Tuesdays through Saturdays, 3 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Van Go Pizza specializes in pizza, fresh salads and homemade desserts. For more about Van Go Pizza, call 378-0138, or visit, www.vangopizza.net

What on the beach? More than you’d think Survey uncovers new forage fish spawning sites
You may be surprised to learn that there are two kinds of marine fish, Pacific sand lance and surf smelt, that use the upper portions of sand and gravel beaches to spawn and incubate their eggs. Smelt and sand lance are part of a small group of species of schooling fish in the area more commonly known as "forage fish" for the important role they play as food for larger fish, seabirds and marine mammals. As of today, forage fish spawning activity has been documented along 10 miles of local beaches, comprising just four percent of the total length of shoreline in San Juan County and 10 percent of non-bedrock shores. “Because these fish rely on beaches for incubating their eggs, they are at risk from
the impacts of shoreline development activities like vegetation removal and bulkhead installation," said Friends of the San Juans Science Director Tina Whitman. "Knowing which sites are used by forage fish helps us focus work with interested public and private property owners to protect or, in some cases, restore spawning habitat.” With funding support from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Washington state Salmon Recovery Funding Board, Friends staff and trained volunteers are conducting additional surveys across the county. To date, seven previously unknown spawn sites have been mapped on Stuart, Sucia, Lopez, San Juan and Orcas islands, and Friends field work is slated to continue through the end of the year. To learn more about the project, volunteer, or request a survey of your beach, contact the Friends, or Whitman, at 378-2319.
t this time last year, most of us were excitedly planning for summer vacations, home improvement projects and BBQs. But for three Washington women – Sheila Asselin, Brenda Lee Bail and Amanda Blanchard –July brought an end to all those things.

Domestic Violence Affects Us All

Down:
a 38-acre collection of 22 contiguous parcels on the west side of Fidalgo Island, near the intersection of Marine Drive and Rosario Road. The preserve was created and permanently conserved 22 years ago by a group of neighbors concerned over a prospective development along the neighborhood’s steep and scenic hillside. “It’s not a huge swath of land but the entire bank was cleared of trees,” Seifert said. “The ironic thing is that we often work with neighbors when there’s something that we can do.” The embankment was clearcut sometime during the winter. Seifert noted that no permits for tree removal were ever filed by the owner of the bed-and-breakfast, whose property sits directly above the area of the preserve that was denuded of trees. The settlement, filed May 22 in Skagit County Superior Court, prompted the Preservation Trust to drop a pending lawsuit. Documents were filed with the court by the Trust June 5 noting that the agreed upon amount had been paid in full. Seifert said the uprooting of trees and vegetation has destabilized an extremely steep embankment that was already prone to damage by seasonal water-runoff. The Trust intends to use money from the settlement to stabilize the bank, restore vegetation, educate neighbors about the waterfront preserve and implement strategies that might help avoid future violations. Founded in 1979, the Preservation Trust, a non-

The Life & Times of General George E. Pickett
Last July, Sheila, 57, was killed by her husband. Brenda Lee, 48, was strangled by her fiancé. Amanda, 41, was killed by her fiancé days before her wedding. All three were victims of domestic violence. In 2013, 35 people in Washington – including three children – were killed as a result of domestic violence. Thousands more endure daily verbal, physical and sexual abuse. Domestic violence touches more people than you may realize including children and men. Some are able to break away from the destructive cycle, but too many often die trapped in it. Deciding to leave is one of the most risky and terrifying decision most victims will ever make. It’s a decision some victims will only get to make once. Imagine picking up the phone and making a call to someone you hope can provide a safe place to flee and being told there’s no room. That’s the reality for tens of thousands of victims every day.
That’s why supporting organizations like the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence is so important. They make sure victims have a safe place to turn and provide important prevention tools for teaching our sons and daughters how to develop healthy relationships, training ourselves to identify signs of abuse among our coworkers, friends and family, and helping abusers break the cycle. I’ve seen how much of a difference every dollar makes for groups like WSCADV. Their Refuse To Abuse 5k is an easy way to raise awareness and resources for an organization that provides a lifeline to thousands of families every year.

“friend of the court” brief on behalf of CSA proved a bit more harsh. Brian Hodges, managing attorney for the Foundation Northwest Office, labeled the decision as a “bungled” one. “The court upheld a massive land grab without first determining whether the burden of protecting and enhancing the marine environment is properly placed only on those select few shoreline property owners who apply for permits, rather than being spread among San Juan County’s entire population as the ‘takings clauses’ of the U.S. and Washington state constitutions demand.” The Foundation argued that the size of wetland water quality buffers are an unconstitutional burden on the development of property. Both groups have 30 days to from the June 19 ruling to decide whether to appeal to the state court of appeals. In the meantime, the Hearings Board will convene in Anacortes, Thursday, July 10, to review the county’s CAO and its compliance with state land-use rules.

that the Hearings Board erred when it dismissed a series of objections filed by the Commons Sense Alliance, P.J. Taggares Company and Friends of the San Juans. While the Hearings Board accepted nearly a dozen objections raised earlier by Friends, which prompted further revisions of the CAO, Eaton back the Board against Friends claims that the exemptions and exceptions in the CAO allow for too much vegetation to be removed from wetland and wildlife buffers. “Friends is disappointed in the decision and believes it’s inconsistent with the Growth Management Act,” Friends attorney Kyle Loring said. “We feel in this case that the science supports our view.” Loring said the local environmental advocacy group has yet to decide on whether to appeal the ruling.

on Guemes Island was returned to Samish from the Burke Museum at the University of Washington. It now stands in the entrance to the gathering hall, not far from the Old One. The island’s First Peoples will be included in the museum’s exhibit on island industries, among them fishing. Museum board member Don Nixon said materials and technology used in fishing during the settlement and post-settlement period of 1850 to 1950 became more sophisticated, “but all the techniques were there already,” having been used for centuries by the island’s First Peoples. Witnesses said the Old One is like a gift from the ancestors: an ancient reminder of their identity as Samish people and as a canoe culture. “We were taught not to expect to be rich, but to be happy with who we are,” said John Cayou, Swinomish. “It’s important to show the ancestors how much you cherish what’s been left.” George Adams, Nooksack, said of the Old One, “I’m glad it has reached home to inspire the people here. And I’m glad for the foresight of the museum, for knowing this canoe comes from the heritage of our ancestors.”

George ‘Buster’ Flaherty: 1919—2014 George “Buster” Flaherty was born Nov. 6, 1919 in Sedro Woolley, Wash., to Roy and Agnas (Angevine) Flaherty. When he was two, the family moved to Orcas Island, to an area which became known as Flaherty Hill, near present day Rosario Resort. Here Buster and his eight siblings: Arthur, Alice, Maxwell, Terry, Michael, Patricia, Kathleen, and Daniel enjoyed their childhood. Buster graduated from Orcas High School in 1937 and enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He served four years aboard the USS Arizona, which was later sunk at Pearl Harbor. He then returned to San Juan Island and was working at Cowell's Lime Works at Lime Kiln Point when the USA entered WWII. He promptly reenlisted in the U.S. Navy and served for four years in the South Pacific. After the war, Buster married Marian LaBar and they had two daughters, Linda and Margaret.

‘All circuits busy’; How can that be?
Is anyone out there (besides me) upset about not having any phone service yesterday, July 2nd? If you’ve lived here long enough you won’t miss the experience of being without Century Tel and having internet. It’s like a power outage—almost always happens when you are awake. Remember last year? The broken underwater cable? That event gave “disrupted” new meaning. Not that it happened, because cables break, but it took so long for the repairs. But back to the present. Today, I only needed to check in with my Mother —not an emergency. “We’re sorry, all circuits are busy now—please try your call again later.” I drove into town to get reception for my AT&T cell phone. No service. How could that be? What does AT&T have to do with Century Tel? With plans A & B having failed, I drove to a friend’s home who has Verizon. Again, no service. This was getting wonky and a little scary. How could it be that they are all down? (A rhetorical question). My mind tends to get over-active when there isn’t a logical explanation. Rumor from neighbor to neighbor—a cable was broken on Carter Street. A cable? What, are you kidding me? The big three all share one cable? Or the same trench?

Imagine this conversation: “Please help me. I need an ambulance and Medivac to the mainland to save my life.” The reply: “We’re sorry, all circuits are busy now. (Please) try your call again later.” Fade to black. Wednesday was a wakeup-call for islanders—with three phone companies serving us and still to be completely cut off from communication with the outside world. We don’t deserve what could happen in a medical emergency. If we don’t demand change and get it, shame on us. Please take the time to notify your phone carrier(s) that what happened July 2nd is not acceptable. One service down shouldn’t take out the other two. Separate phone carriers should be just that. For our protection—it’s a nobrainer. CLAUDIA LA CAVA San Juan Island
Banned? It’s more like a free-for-all
I thought there is a law against fireworks in San Juan County. Am I wrong? Saturday night July 5th and the firecrackers and bottle rockets in my neighborhood are creating such chaos in our Westview Apartments. I am the manager, and I have elderly, sickly and some have terrified pets. I mean a dog that is screaming in terror. My own dog is shaking and trying to hide. I hear another upstairs scrambling to find a safe haven. It breaks one’s heart to see such terror and to feel help-

less to comfort or stop it, or to prevent it. My love for Lopez has always been the quiet and safety. But not this time of year. So, why the law against fireworks? We pet owners tranquilize our pets for the 4th, and did not expect or want to do it a second time. So a dutiful call to 911 nets me another phone number that no one answers. At 11:30 p.m., it stops— finally. And I hear the noise all over the island. So, do we have a law? Not sure, but I thought that was what I read. But—since no one enforces the speed limits either, I guess I should not be surprised. Ninety percent of the traffic on this stretch of road is speeding. I have said we could pay a deputy’s wages just writing tickets on Lopez Road. Letters to the sheriff, this one and the last one, gets you zip. A letter to the commissioner got me zip too. So—any suggestions fellow Lopezians? JOY DAVIS Lopez Island
Changes in store, but I’m still here
Unfortunately, there are big changes in the local healthcare community. With the recent loss of several healthcare providers, island-wide rumors abound. I would like to put to rest the one that I am retiring. I have no plans now or in the immediate future to retire or leave the island. I remain committed to this community and to providing the best health care possible to island residents. I

I completed the nationally recognized process to be a certified medical director for skilled nursing homes and attended training for and passed my certification to do CDL (commercial driver license) exams. Believe me, I would not have put myself through the cost and hours of meetings and testing if I wasn’t planning to stick around.

Backdraft: the ‘Voice’ of the Fly-In No where like can one man be so familiar home on the 4th How with so many aircraft? Here’s how... eturning from an 8-day vacation gets greater every year you live here. Nonetheless, we had one helluva’ good time at my brother-in-law John Humphrey’s 90th birthday last week in New England. One of John’s gifts was a “Sneaky Pete” pool cue. The next day we foolishly asked if we could go to the pool room where John had been playing with some others on a regular schedule. Howard “Sure,” he said, “although I might be Schonberger a bit rusty.” I should have known betColumnist ter. I hadn’t racked up a game in over 50 years. He practically ran the table by the time I finally earned a point. The last time we were back east we saw the Red Sox beat the Yankees. This time, we decided to go to watch a minor league game, in Rhode Island. The weather was perfect, the teams played superbly and the game was decided in the ninth inning. That night one of Helen’s nieces invited us to go to their favorite restaurant, the Warren Tavern, “if they’re open Mondays.” Open? Turns out Monday is trivia night. We learned that night that Warren Tavern was opened in 1780. It was where our revolutionaries conspired to beat the British, located near Bunker Hill. I invited the manager to come visit us Thursday where Oren and Peggy Combs have their trivia night at the Rumor Mill. He’s gonna try. Then to come back just in time for Lin and Pam Pearson’s last parade as principal guides and sponsors. What a decade of dedication! And now we’re celebrating Helen’s birthday today at home with the grandkids and their parents from all over the globe. They come from Germany, Africa, Asia, Italy. Turkey…you name it. And they all love it best here. Why? Because our flag is still there, and I’ve never seen better fireworks symbolically protecting it! — Go with the F.L.O.W. (Ferry Loves of Washington)

f you have been at Friday Harbor Airport for its annual Fly-In and Community Open House, you have heard its announcer describing the exciting fly-bys of antique and military planes. But, you may not know that you were hearing the voice of Richard Drury. Rick really knows airplanes, especially the giant Douglas Skyraider, which opens the show every year with its crowd-thrilling low and loud passes over the runway. Rick knows that airplane because a part of his long and impressive flying career included piloting them in combat in Southeast Asia. The last of the big propeller-driven war planes, the Skyraider flew low and slow, and suffered a high loss-rate from staggering enemy ground fire provided by the highest concentration of anti-aircraft guns ever seen, mainly on the infamous Ho Chi Minh Trail areas. In February 1970, Rick was the On-Scene Search and Rescue Commander for the rescue of two downed US Navy crew who had been shot down in their A-6 Intruder, along the Ho Chi Minh Trail. With the call sign of Sandy One, he set out at dawn to locate the survivors, suppress any ground fire, and then bring in the rescue helicopters, known as the Jolly Greens. The survivors, with handheld radios, helped guide Rick to their jungle position. Anti-aircraft fire became intense, and a war erupted around the two downed pilots. After several hours of a grueling fight, Rick was able to bring in one of the helicopters, guide them to the survivors and affect a pickup. As Rick says, “The best words I heard came from the helicopter pilot, who said, ‘Rick, I’ve got both survivors on board. Now get me the hell out of here!’” For that action, Rick was awarded the nation’s third-

Orcas no paradise for its ‘have-nots’
I went to the meeting about the opportunity that SJC has to “opt out” of the Growth Management Act,
and I was thrilled that we have this opportunity now. If one doesn’t have to live in an urban growth area because of size restrictions on acreage/house ratios, Orcas is lovely. However, if you are scrunched together in an urban growth area, with street light pollution, noise, and fumes from cars, people always around, it is another story. It effectively keeps the workers in “their place” (in Eastsound). Unless you have time to “toodle” around the island for the fun of it, one doesn’t enjoy the pleasures of island life. Acreage would be nice, but not at the inflated prices and the five-or-more-acres per dwelling that effectively segregates people, one from the other and, most especially, from the natural world. When I came here, 30 years ago, Orcas was a true island community. People

highest award, the Silver Star for Gallantry in Action. Forty years later a retired Navy captain was to speak at Whidbey Naval Air Station about being shot down and rescued. Curiosity aroused, Rick attended, and learned that Capt. Evan Reese was indeed one of the men rescued by Rick, and was living in Oak Harbor. After the military, he flew as a civilian pilot in Laos, and later flew for Flying Tiger Line, piloting the DC-8, B-727 and 747. When FedEx bought Flying Tiger, Rick was among the first to fly the Douglas MD-11 with the “glass cockpit.” He became a check airman and flew mainly on the Pacific Rim, based in Anchorage. His routes included Japan, China, Singapore, Australia and various countries along the way. As a private pilot, Rick owned and flew a North American T-6, flying in air shows with the Condor Squadron out of Van Nuys, Calif., a Hawker Sea Fury, which he flew to a second-in-class finish in the Reno Air Races, a T-28, and an RV-4, which he flew with the Blackjack Squadron, which has performed annually at the Friday Harbor Fly-In. His current personal airplanes are a Great Lakes Biplane, which he restored, and a Stinson 108-3, currently under restoration. With over 21,000 hours in his logbook, and more than 40 years after his military career, which amounted to 220 combat missions, the Silver Star, four Distinguished Flying See FLY IN, Page 8
mingled with each other. Newcomers blended and adopted the “Island Way,” which included socializing together and helping each other out as neighbors should. Island dances were quite popular. I remember when multimillionaires and farmers, office workers, gardeners, artists, business owners, house cleaners, writers and a couple of homeless individuals mingled and danced together, human to human. It is what island living truly is. Along with new wealth came the separation of people and the GMA, which effectively cemented that separation. The workers live in town and the rest of the island is for those lured here by land ads in the Wall Street Journal in the 1990s. They came here with the means to afford to live in the “country,” for which land prices shot up to the sky.
Many old island families had to sell their land because taxes were raised too high to keep large parcels of land. Now, the workers actually need all of the wonderful non-profits to help them out. Independent island life is a thing of the past. The GMA is a tool to acclimate people to Agenda 21, which is slowly being implemented worldwide, under the guise of environmental protection, and it has nothing to do with protecting our Dear Mother Earth and all of our sisters and brothers in the plant and animal kingdoms. This is a betrayal of the people and of the Earth Herself. Do some in-depth research on it. You may see that “paradise” no longer exists for many of the people on Orcas Island. SPIRIT EAGLE Eastsound

Continued from page 7 Crosses and 23 Air Medals, among others, Rick lives in Friday Harbor with his wife, Carol. He has written four books, including the cult favorite, “My Secret War” about flying the Skyraider in combat. With the 5th Annual Friday Harbor Fly-In and Community Open House scheduled for Saturday, July 26, Rick will again man the microphone as well as act as Air Boss, responsible for bringing interesting aircraft to the show. Asked how he finds the planes, he smiles and says, “Many of my flying pals
stayed in and became generals or admirals. I have been able to call them, remind them of things that they really don’t want to go public, and we end up with some terrific military airplanes. “Or, I call up those who went with me to the airlines, have interesting type of airplanes, and they usually fly up and enjoy one of the very best fly-ins available.” So, now that you know the story, look for Rick on the outside of the tower providing narrative between the golden era music of Miller and Dorsey. And, if you have a copy of his book, bring it by. He’d be glad to sign it.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF ORDINANCES PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on Tuesday, June 17 and July 1, 2014 the San Juan County Council enacted the following ordinance(s): ORDINANCE No. 8 -2014: An Ordinance Regarding Solid Waste Disposal in San Juan County Amending San Juan County Code Section 8.12.010(A) and (B) Summary: The Ordinance eliminates from the Code the stipulation that solid waste must go to a Countyowned facility. The amendment was needed to prevent confusion or conflict that might arise regarding disposal requirements unique to the Lopez
Solid Waste Disposal District, the Orcas Recycling Services agreement and the Town of Friday Harbor agreement. ORDINANCE No. 9 - 2014: An Ordinance Regarding the Adoption of Uniform and International Codes as Building Codes; AMENDING SAN JUAN COUNTY CODE SECTIONS 15.04.050, 15.04.060, 15.04.090, REPEALING SJCC 15.04.070 AND ADDING A NEW SECTION TO CHAPTER 15.04 SJCC. Summary: The State of Washington cyclically adopts, with amendments, a comprehensive set of building codes as provided in RCW 19.27.
The applicable RCWs allow local jurisdictions to make amendments to the administrative provisions, found in Chapter 1 of the respective codes. Revisions are as follows: 1) Change ordinance to a general “as currently adopted� language rather than a specific reference to a certain code year. 2) Revise administrative portions of all codes so that there is a single governing code (IBC), rather than repetitive language for each adopted code. 3) Add items to the “work exempt from a permit� section. 4) Remove violation/enforcement language and refer to current code
enforcement ordinance. 5) Determination and clarification of before/after date for “existing buildings� as it pertains to requirements for permits. ORDINANCE No. 10 - 2014: An Ordinance Granting a Non-Exclusive Franchise for Communication Facilities Authorizing Limited Use of the Public Road Rights-of-Way in San Juan County, WA to Rock Island, Inc.
