Oil spill Peace in the park draws $112K penalty

Mass: climate change no hoax

Journal staff report

By Cali Bagby

State officials cited negligence as a factor in imposing a $112,500 fine against an Anacortes-based seafood company, whose fishing boat accidentally sank in Bellingham Channel, near Guemes Island, a year ago in July.

Following investigation of the sinking of the Clam Digger, owned by American Gold Seafoods, the Washington state Department of Ecology determined negligence on the part of the company was responsible for 315 gallons of oil that was spilled into the channel during recovery of the 59-foot sunken boat.

“This spill was preventable,” said Dale Jensen, manager of Ecology’s Spill Prevention, Preparedness and Response Program. “The Clam Digger was not adequately maintained, and not fit for its intended use that day.”

When the Clam Digger encountered high waves after it left Anacortes on July 10, began taking on water, and eventually sank. The company immediately initiated appropriate response protocols, according to Ecology, and six days later divers recovered the boat.

However, during the recovery as much as 315 gallons of oil spilled.

The 59-foot boat reportedly was carrying 2,700 to 3,000 gallons of diesel fuel at the See PENALTY, Page 4

The good news is that global warming is happening much slower than predicted.

The bad news is that we are doing absolutely nothing to stop these inevitable changes.

These are the facts according to Dr. Cliff Mass, professor of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington.

“The problem is that greenhouse gases are increasing rapidly, and we are the cause of it,” he said during his July 23 talk sponsored See HOAX, Page 3

Get to know your volunteer firefighter Potential closure of the station near home prompted now-Lt. Wood to join

By Sheila Harley, SJ Fire & Rescue public information officer Special to the Journal

Jason Wood is a lieutenant in the San Juan Island Fire Rescue, assigned to Roche Harbor Station 35.

He has been with the department since 2005, giving him nine years of service. His first firefighting experience was at UC Davis, for a restoration ecology class where he helped conduct prescribed burns to restore native grasslands.

Since joining the department he has also had the opportunity to join Washington state mobilizations in Eastern Washington. These have been great learning experiences and also helps ensure that if we ever have ‘the big one’ here, other fire departments across the state will come to help us as well.

Like all firefighters, Jason gets a certain amount of satisfaction from being there for his community. But, when he read Howard (of “Go With The Flow” fame) Schonberger’s article in the Journal of the San Juan Islands, in 2005, about the possibility of fire station closures because of a lack of firefighters, he decided to join. He was in the process of building his home then and didn’t like the idea of his local fire station closing.

San Juan County still struggles to get enough people to join the fire department, which can affect emergency response rates and fire insurance costs. No previous firefighting experience is needed to join the department (extensive training provided) so please consider contacting the fire department to help out your community.

Mortgage paid, Brickworks debt free Ag Guild clears financial hurdle thanks to donations, large and small

Four years after the purchase of the last remaining industrial building in Friday Harbor, and its renovation since, the San Juan Island Agricultural Guild last week announced that the Brickworks building is paid for, and now debt free.

The Ag Guild’s final payment on the mortgage stands as the culmination of a long, sometimes controversial journey that followed the property’s initial purchase in late 2010, with a Washington state grant of $365,000 and a federal USDA grant of $100,000, joining some $228,000 in private donations.

The Ag Guild then embarked on a community wide fundraising effort to support its vision of completely repurposing the property as a permanent home for the San Juan Islands Farmers Market.

Over subsequent years that vision, which became the Brickworks Project, appear to captured the imagination of the community with increasing zeal, and donations of time, labor and money.

“Though the odds initially seemed daunting, we strongly believed in the worthiness of the cause,” said Susie Wampler, Ag Guild Board chairwoman. “We believed that if we built it, they would come. And come they did, with donations ranging from $5 to over $100,000 added to over 35,000 hours of volunteer time and the gift of many talents.”

In the spring of 2013, a $100,000 matching-grant challenge by the Town of Friday Harbor was quickly met by further generous donations from private individuals and foundations.

In June 2013, the grand opening of the renovated building cemented the investment in the project, and Brickworks not only became the home of a successful farmers market

Continued from page 1 by the Orcas Public Library and at Orcas Center.

Mass, known for his popular weather blog, discussed truths and myths about global warming, the media’s incorrect coverage of topics relating to the health of the globe and the affects of coal production on our lives.

Global warming

Although global warming may have a more predominate role in our conversations and news sources as of late, Mass says the idea is nothing new. He referenced a paper published in 1896 that pointed to concerns that still are applicable today. Svante Arrhenius, a Swedish scientist, was the first to claim in the late 1800s that “fossil fuel combustion may eventually result in enhanced global warming.”

What is new is the question of how warming will affect different parts of our country. According to Mass, global warming is not uniform. For instance, in Southern California and Mexico the climate will be dryer. On the other hand, areas like the Pacific Northwest and Alaska will become wetter. The Pacific Northwest in itself is an interesting region to explore when it comes to climate

change because of how little it has warmed.

Our weather is controlled buy the Pacific Ocean, and research has shown that the Eastern Pacific has not warmed.

According to an article in the journal Nature climate changes has increased trade winds blowing east to west, creating cool temperatures on the surface of these waters.

An article in The Scientific American goes on to say that, “findings outlined in the paper bolster the idea that much of the warmth that would otherwise have heated the Earth’s surface has gone into the Pacific Ocean.”

Despite the anomaly of the Pacific, Mass said overall we should be concerned about the planet. He referred to earlier research that suggested climate models were too sensitive and therefore pointed to more extreme predications.

The Pause

Mass calls the media portion of his talk “the fun part.” Over the years, Mass has watched incorrect reporting of science from major mainstream news sources.

“Much of the media information is downright wrong,” he said.

For example, the lack of global warming in the past decade, also known as “the

and art market, but also a popular venue for meetings, presentations, concerts, educational events, and both private and public celebrations.

A final fundraising push in the spring of 2014 brought in several additional major private community donations and a significant matching grant challenge from the San Juan Island Community Foundation, which pushed the funding drive over the top.

In all, over $1 million in private funding was raised to complement the federal, state and town grants, allowing the Ag Guild to fully renovate and repurpose the building, develop the plaza, add a community kitchen, pay off the mortgage, and then some.

“This multi-year public-private partnership has allowed us to achieve not only our original dream, but also to proceed with further outfitting of the building to make it suitable for an even wider range of events” Wampler said. pause,” has been used in the media to prove that climate change is not occurring.

He explained that humaninduced warming is not strong enough to overcome natural periods of cooling.

A recent lull in sunspots, El Ninos and volcanoes has also contributed to the lack of warming.

“Eventually, humaninduced warming wins.”

Mass said.

As for the overall questions of why the media is failing, Mass believes too many media outlets do not take the time or have the time to fully research science issues.

After a quick Google search, this author found several well-researched articles pop up from the Scientific American and the Economist about this very issue and the reporters made the same assertions as Mass about “the pause.”

According to the Economist, “Like the Terminator, global warming will be back.”

Coal

The main problem, as Mass sees it, is that fossil fuel production is increasing at a much higher rate than renewable energy.

After an audience member asked what we can do in our community for the environment, Mass answered: “Change China and the rap-

idly growing number of coal emissions. To change China, we must develop energy technologies.”

In the meantime he agrees with many islanders who have said no to the nearby proposed coal terminal.

If approved, the $650 million Gateway Terminal would be the largest bulk export facility on the West Coast, perhaps in the nation.

At full capacity, it would be capable of exporting up to 54 million metric tons of coal a year from the plant that SSA Marine, which operates an export terminal at the Port of Seattle and others worldwide, is seeking to build at Cherry Point, just north of Bellingham.

The coal would then be shipped through the Salish Sea and San Juans by cargo ships, may of which measure more than three football fields in length, to Asian markets, where it would be sold as fuel.

Mass told the crowd that coal and oil trains are a bad idea because of the potential for an oil spill in the water.

After speaking for nearly an hour about global warming, media reporting and coal production, Mass closed his lecture by making it clear that global warming is happening.

“This is a serious issue and we are mucking around with this planet,” he said.

installation of a 2,000-gallon doublewalled portable diesel tank, caused the boat to ride lower in the water, making it susceptible to flooding, according to DOE. There was no evidence of any oil reaching the shoreline.

Penalties issued by Ecology can be appealed to the Washington State Pollution Control Hearings Board.

Along with the $112,500 fine, Ecology billed American Gold Seafoods $9,796 to recoup cleanup costs and investigation work. The company paid an additional $13,844 to fund a shoreline restoration project in Anacortes in lieu of paying the same amount into a general fund

alteration. “I think the council also felt it was wrong of us to second guess a public process of 6-8 months that went into the design for 16 inches here or there, and there are views and open space for the public that weren’t there before.”

The building gives Mayor Carrie Lacher concern. Although the view of the waterfront may be greater overall, with new sight-lines available because of the design, Lacher fears the height of the building might prove uncomfortable for some.

“It’s going to be very tall building,” she said. “For a pedestrian on the sidewalk it could be imposing.”

The council is expected to give final approval to the design, project and a shoreline development permit, along with “findings of facts and conclusion of law” for the waterfront project, at its Aug. 7 meeting. Port Commissioner Mike Ahrenius said approval of the project will be a step in the right direction, but that much has yet to be done before

the port can break ground, including final drawing, pricing and putting the project out to bid.

“We showed them both and I’m happy with the choice,” Ahrenius said. “What you see today was done through a long public process and with due diligence.”

The new building is intended to replace the former Spring Street Landing Building, once the home of Downriggers Restaurant and three other waterfront businesses. The top floor of the building was razed and destroyed by fire in the early morning hours of Aug. 17, 2013. All four businesses and their employees were displaced as a result of the inferno.

After an initial design for the new building met opposition earlier in the year, the most recent design, which includes a public plaza, restaurant, retail spaces and underground parking, drew the endorsement of the town Historical Review Board. That endorsement translates into an option of raising the roofline, from a maximum of 27 feet to 35 feet, and providing 50 percent fewer parking spaces than the size of the building would normally require under town building codes.

The design calls for 16 underground parking spaces and another three at the street level. The port will also be required to contain and to treat stormwater run-off on site, as opposed to requirements for the former building, in accordance with a new shoreline development permit.

The port anticipates that some portion of the construction costs will be paid for from the insurance settlement, $2.6 million, from last year’s fire.

Ahrenius said that it’s too soon to tell what the price tag will be. He noted the port will also be seeking a permit for replacement of the waterfront bulkhead at the town Aug. 7 meeting.

“It’s a big project on the waterfront,” he said of the Spring Street Landing building. “Something on the water is never simple. It would be premature to put a price on it at this stage.”

SJC Dems endorse Lapointe Coal, navy jet noise loom large; Larsen loses favor with local Dems

— Information below is submitted as a press release by SJC Democrats

In the race for Washington State’s 2nd Congressional District seat, the San Juan County Democrats have voted to endorse independent Mike Lapointe over incumbent Democrat Rick Larsen in the Aug. 5 primary election.

In a unique attempt to include as many county Democrats as possible in the endorsement process, the San Juan County Democrats held separate endorsement meetings on July 26 and 27 Mike Lapointe on Orcas, Lopez, and San Juan Islands. Both Mike Lapointe and Rep. Larsen were invited. Mike attended each of the three meetings, while Rep. Larsen did not attend nor did any of his surrogates.

In total at these three meetings, the vote was 50-0 to endorse Mike Lapointe.

The main factors in this decision were the incumbent’s failure to adequately address two of the primary concerns of the citizens

of the San Juan Islands, namely the potential negative environmental and economic consequences of building the Gateway Pacific Terminal coal export facility near Bellingham that will ship massive amounts of coal through our county's waters, as well as the Rick Larsen quality-of-life and healthdestroying noise of the Navy’s Growler jets based on Whidbey Island.

Instead of endorsing our corporate-funded incumbent, we are excited to endorse Mike Lapointe, an independent candidate of the people who accepts no corporate contributions. Mike will fight against the coal terminal and the Growler jets, and he will also fight for green jobs to replace fossil fuel-related jobs.

Mike is actually more true to our Democratic Party platform than the incumbent. Mike Lapointe represents our values.

The San Juan County Democrats urge a vote on your August 5 primary ballot for Mike Lapointe for Congress in the 2nd district.

Fall prep sports physicals, for free

The high school fall sports season is just around the corner, believe it, or not, and practice will begin even sooner.

So, it’s time to get that physical exam.

For the season ahead, student athletes can get the required physical for free, thanks to a Peace Island Medical Center “community outreach” program, and the donation of time by PIMC doctors and nurses.

The free physical clinic is Sunday, Aug. 3, 3-7 p.m., in Friday Harbor High School’s Hall Gym. Students should download, fill out and bring a completed “athletics packet” to the clinic.

Monster is greed, hubris, not DOE

The monster in our country is blind ignorance and greed (See “A monster, state DOE, in our midst,” Journal Letters, page 6, July 23) The monster is someone with the gift of money feeling like they can abuse Earth however they please, because they ‘own it’. Really the commons of humanity and all life begins at the shoreline.

I am a feral kitty and wish to defend a feral’s right to exist. (Reply to guest column, “Cute, cuddly, prolific on the prowl,” page 7, July 23) Perhaps “we” have hurt billions of regular species but that is nothing compared to the holocausts “we the people” perpetuated recently, i.e., on the Canadian Wild Geese. And I don’t think we also should incur the death penalty just for existing.

May I present a few facts?

The feral cat’s life expectancy is only 3-5 years; therefore, to enhance that brief sojourn on earth, we do accept donations from the generous public. And, yes, we do eat birds; I must, I do myself occasionally (but would do less if Monsanto would take its hands off

cat food). But I must say I have also seen humans eating birds (and quite frequently). Last Sunday, a friend of mine ate a duck, but because it arrived on a plate, that made it okay.

My own benefactress eats chickens and from the racks displayed in the store; the numbers must be huge.

To offset these lapses, I do many favors for the person who adopted me. No mouse has been seen in our house since I arrived. DeCon has also disappeared, along with its additives. There is no fly. Even bugs have disappeared.

I am almost as good as a vacuum cleaner, actually better. I don’t have to be dumped out. I polish the windows with my tongue so carefully that I hope this will make me a commodore in the Queen’s Navy. In the interim, I also continue my role as a therapeutic comrade; I’ve advanced from a feral to a friend and now, favored pet.

And there are still birds out there—and they are singing. And that is that from the feral cat. Thank you, Journal, for sharing my opinion.

San Juan Island Community Foundation and with another most generous and unexpected private donation, we have come to the end of this extraordinary fundraising campaign.

In all, well over $1,000,000 in private funding was raised to complement $575,000 in grants from Washington State, USDA, and the Town of Friday Harbor.

Though the odds initially seemed daunting, what we came to experience was an amazing blend of community-wide passion, persistence and generosity.

We believed that if we committed to building it, they would come.

And come they did, with individual donations ranging from $5 to over $100,000 along with over 35,000 hours of volunteer time and the gift of many talents.

Together, these many contributions allowed us to take a funky old property in the heart of town, renovate the building, develop the plaza, and add a community kitchen, all the while retaining and celebrating the property’s historical heritage.

In short order, Brickworks has become not only a successful permanent home for the San Juan Islands Farmers Market, but also a home for the Friday Harbor Art Market, and a venue of choice for meetings, presentations, concerts, educational events and both private and public celebrations.

This extraordinary multi-year public-private partnership has allowed us to achieve not only our original dream, but also to proceed now with further outfitting of the building to make it suitable for an even

We look forward to a selfsustaining Brickworks also becoming a centerpiece in the broader initiative now underway to transform the entire immediate area into what we have long envisaged as revitalized public gathering place in the heart of Friday Harbor.

We at the San Juan Community Home Trust commend San Juan islanders for their generous support of the Brickworks and urge our community to now turn our attention to creating more permanently affordable housing for our local workforce and retirees.

This is a silent and hidden need, brought about by the high prices of real estate and seasonal, and low average wages.

We need to ensure that our workforce and retirees on more limited incomes who contribute so much to the richness of our commu-

nity are able to remain on the island.

We cannot lose the staff at our retirement centers; home helpers; house painters; masons, therapists, nor the many volunteers, musicians, actors and playwrights who entertain us, to name but a few.

Permanently affordable housing benefits us all.

I urge you to support the Home Trust’s current Capital Campaign to fund Phase II of Sun Rise, our community of permanently affordable, low-to moderate-income homes, by helping to finance our 12 to 14 new houses with your generous donations.

Editorial

As I See It

I

Lack of honesty over legal letters bodes poorly for faith in even ‘bigger’ decisions

Primary cause Tight grip on truth at OPALCO Board t looks as if the August primary election may not be such a sleeper after all.

In a three-way race for Washington’s 2nd Congressional seat, incumbent Rick Larsen is under assault from factions within his own political party, chiefly that of the San Juan County Democrats, who, over the weekend, July 26-27, voted 50-0, that’s right, 50 to zip, to endorse fellow Democrat Mike Lapointe (See page 5).

The top two vote-getters in the race, regardless of party affiliation, advance to the November general election. In addition to Lapointe, challenging Larsen from the left, Republican BJ Guillot, reportedly cut from conservative Tea Party cloth, is seeking election to the 2nd congressional seat as well.

The 2nd District encompasses the entirety of Island and San Juan counties, and portions of Skagit, Snohomish and Whatcom counties, mainly in areas west of Interstate 5.

Primary ballots must be postmarked by Aug. 5, date of the primary, or dropped off at any of the county Election drop-off boxes by 8 p.m., on election day. Do you know where your ballot is?

In the 2012, Larsen faced five challengers in the August primary, including Lapointe, at that time a 99 Percent Party candidate. Larsen drew nearly 64 percent of 5,683 votes cast in San Juan County that year. Lapointe received 4.3 percent, 244 votes in all.

So, why the rift?

Well, evidently Larsen, who has long enjoyed strong support in the heavily democratic, leftleaning San Juans, has local Dems disgruntled over his middle-of-the-road stance on the proposed coal export facility at Cherry Point, as well as the escalation of noise from Navy jets—the Growlers—stationed at NAS Whidbey.

Will local Dems’ “dissing” of Larsen and embrace of Lapointe prove an aberration, or tip of the iceberg? Results will tell.

Do you know where your ballot is?

hen I wrote last month saying it was my belief OPALCO Board members and senior managers had not been honest when they publicly denied any involvement in threatening letters sent to a former board member and sitting County Councilman, I knew more than I revealed.

I knew, for instance, that OPALCO’s legal bills—the ones OPALCO General Manager Randy Cornelius had denied my request to see with, he wrote, “the full support of the Board”— clearly show the involvement of OPALCO management and then-Board President Chris Thomerson’s involvement in the letter threatening legal action against former board member John Bogert if he didn’t shut up about his reasons for resigning from the board.

How did I know this?

Jerry Whitfield, who was selected by the board in March to replace Bogert, reviewed the bills relating to Bogert’s letter at my request and told me what they said.

Jerry had sent me a note offering to Alex MacLeod talk once I had received a response to my records request from Cornelius. When I received the denial and saw it was with “the full support of the Board,” I called Jerry and asked him to explain why he supported the denial.

Jerry told me it was because he was told the billing records— which he hadn’t seen— were “very summary in nature” and “wouldn’t answer your question” about whether there had been board and/or management involvement in their drafting and decision to send. If that was really the case, I wondered aloud, why not just show me the records and be done with it?

I told Jerry that my experience with legal bills was that they were pretty detailed—how else could the client assess

their validity?—but that if he looked at them and told me they wouldn’t answer my question, I would take his word for it and drop the subject.

Good to his word, he looked at the Bogert records several days later and gave me a call.

He began by saying the records showed “more than I had been led to believe,” and then reviewed the notes he had taken. The records were exactly as I had expected and showed that the lawyers had conferenced with management, reviewed a draft with the client and then revised it and then noted “a message from Thomerson regarding letter” the day the letter was sent.

The notion that the lawyers had acted on their own, as Thomerson, other board members and Cornelius had insisted at the May 28 Shaw Town Hall meeting, was not true.

Why didn’t I reveal these things earlier?

It’s because I think Jerry Whitfield is a good guy. He is a successful businessman, an engineer, a good family man and a good neighbor. He agreed to serve on OPALCO’s board because he wants OPALCO to continue to be successful, especially as it navigates the tricky waters of entering a business— broadband service —very different than its core mission as an electric cooperative, and I respect him See BOARD, Page 8

We’re here to help, when time is right

W

e were recently asked by a concerned private citizen to reach out to the community to explain what to expect from Wolf Hollow when someone calls us to report a stranded Harbor Seal pup.

We are more than happy to do so and we hope this message will help everyone understand the complexities of the situation.

Harbor Seals, being marine mammals, come under the authority of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and are covered by the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which makes it a federal offense to touch, harass, injure or feed any marine mammal, including Harbor Seal pups.

Wolf Hollow staff and volunteers have no more authority to rescue a seal pup than has any member of the public. We are not permitted to go out and check on the pup, or bring it to the center for care.

In San Juan County the only people who can respond to a stranded seal pup are county, state or federal government officials, such as rangers within their parks, and the San Juan County

Marine Mammal Stranding Network.

The Stranding Network is a group of local volunteers, coordinated through the Whale Museum, which is authorized by NMFS to investigate reports of live and dead stranded marine mammals, including seal pups, within the county. They work under strict guidelines set by NMFS. Once a seal pup has been brought to Wolf Hollow we can rehabilitate it and, when it is strong and old enough to survive on its own, release it back into the wild. We currently have four such seal pups in our care.

If you see a seal pup on its own on the shore and it appears to be injured or weak, please don’t touch it, move it or try to get it into the water.

Keep people and dogs away from the pup and call The Marine Mammal Hotline: 1-800-562-8832 and leave a message. This hotline is monitored by the Stranding Network Coordinators who will return your call.

If you call Wolf Hollow directly, all we can do is record the details of the pup’s location and condition and your name and phone number. We then pass this information on to the

Contributed photo / Wolf Hollow

To help a stranded seal pup, keep in mind the Dos and Don’ts, and whom to call.

Stranding Network coordinators, who will take it from there.

I hope this helps to explain why we at Wolf Hollow can’t respond to calls about seal pups in the same way we do to other wildlife calls. If you see an injured hawk, or come across a thin, weak raccoon kit, you can call Wolf Hollow and our U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Washington Department See RIGHT, Page 8

So, what are we to think?

this is not the case with seal pups, and though we understand the urgency of your call, there is absolutely nothing we can do until the seal pups are brought to us by the proper authorities.

— Editor’s note: Julie Duke is executive director of Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center

We don’t know, because the board and management have remained silent.

Perhaps there has been something said in an executive session or other private meeting of the board —meetings that it should be noted are nowhere provided for in OPALCO’s By-Laws—but nothing has been said publicly, nor is it on this week’s board agenda.

Why does this matter?

Well, for starters OPALCO is a cooperative.

The actions of its board are a direct reflection on its members. For most of OPALCO’s history, the board and management have acted with integrity, creating a cooperative in which its members could take justifiable pride. It is a relationship that deserves continued respect.

And as OPALCO continues to try to find financially responsible ways to help its members obtain more robust Internet service and

perhaps also help improve the county’s emergencyresponse communication system, it is imperative that members trust its board and management to be open and honest about the choices, the costs, the risks and the expected benefits.

That has been, and remains, a challenge for this board. It does not help to be found to be knowingly misleading its members—as well as a sitting board member—about what in the end are relatively inconsequential matters. If they will lie about the little things, what about the big ones?

Not only is that worth pondering, it is worth hearing the board and management address directly.

— Editor’s note: Shaw Island's Alex MacLeod, former managing editor of the Seattle Times, and former San Juan Ferry Advisory Committee chairman, has been an OPALCO member for 25 years.

f you’re at all familiar with their music, then “taking the world by storm” is probably the last phrase you might apply to the Good Lovelies.

These are not Dixie Chicks.

See the contrast for yourself when the Good Lovelies, headed back to Friday Harbor after a premier island performance in 2012, take center stage at San Juan Community Theatre Saturday, Aug. 2. The show starts at 7:30 p.m.

Still, similarities can’t be denied. Both trios are adept at a variety of instruments, interchange leads often, and feature inspiring, intricately woven three-part harmonies. But unlike Natalie Maines and company, the Good Lovelies are more likely to showcase their award-winning talents on an episode of “Prairie Home Companion,” or on tour with Stuart McLean’s Vinyl Cafe, rather than at a weekend rock festival or as musical guest on Saturday Night Live. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

And, the Good Lovelies hail from Canada, as well, rather than Texas. Perhaps that’s another reason that this unassuming, buoyant trio of longtime best friends, Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough and Sue Passmore, have gravitated toward the sunny side of western swing and folk music, and have along the way become the darlings of the summer festival circuit.

What the two groups share, however, is musical chops, as well as a long list of music industry accolades and awards to back it up.

The Good Lovelies burst onto the musical scene with a self-titled album in 2009, which garnered the group headlines as “New Emerging Artist” at the Canadian Folk Music Awards and later a Juno (Canada’s equivalent to the Grammy’s) for Album of the Year in the Roots/ Traditional category.

Their latest release, Live at Revolution, earned two 2013 Canadian Folk Music Awards, for Best Vocal Group and for Best Ensemble, and highlights both the energy and variety of their live performances. The album includes a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “State Trooper,” Leonard Cohen’s mega-hit “Hallelujah” and starts off with the 1930s classic, “The Heebie Jeebies.”

Other than that, it’s all their own.

Climate change: weather forecast

How will climate change affect weather in the San Juans and across the region today, and in the years beyond?

It’s up for debate. But first you can find out basic science behind climate change and its implications on weather patterns in a presentation by University of Washington meteorologist Dr. Nicholas Bond, Thursday, July 31, at San Juan Island Grange.

“How will global climate change play out in our neck of the woods?” Bond asks. “I welcome a dialogue on these fascinating and important questions.”

Bond’s presentation, sponsored by a consortium of local organizations and civic groups, will be followed by a discussion and Q & A period.

While white settlers used natural resources in some aspects of their lives, American Indian relied almost entirely on what was at hand, especially the cedar tree, known to them as the “tree of life.”

Ellison and Barreca will not only demonstrate “daub and wattle” crafts, but invite visitors to try their hands at it as well.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

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.

To make a firewood complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx
