or could ever be financially profitable or economically sustainable. The books, Pickett noted, reveal the Guild is indeed on the sustainability track, with 88 rental days generating $122,000 in revenue so far this year. “We now have an asset, a $1.5 million building and money in the bank,” he said. Many played timely and key roles in either launching the project or building on its momentum. The Guild’s first project manager, Lovel Pratt, secured roughly $500,000 in grants and produced formative feasibility studies that led to the 150 Nichols Street site. The late Polly Stern gave the guild its first sizable donation, $32,500, even before the group had a firm plan. “She believed in us,” the Guild’s Susis Wampler said.

and the Friday sailing between Anacortes and Sidney, British Columbia, to shift the boat on the international run to the EdmondsKingston route, which earlier in the week saw one of its two vessels transferred to Seattle-Bainbridge Island route following a power failure Tuesday onboard the Tacoma, a Mark II Jumbo class ferry. It’s not the first cancellation of the international run this summer. San Juan Island’s Aunde Cornely found herself stranded on Vancouver Island in mid-July when WSF pulled the Chelan from service for an unexpected repair.

What began as a search for a permanent home for the Farmers Market 12 years ago came to a ceremonial pause Sunday, Aug. 3, as the San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild, along with many supporters, celebrated a debt-free Brickworks building by setting fire to its former deed of trust, second position. Dozens gathered at the site of the former Friday Harbor Brick & Tile Company, later the home Friday Harbor Electric, to commemorate an unrelenting journey and the “perseverance” that led

first to construction of the plaza, then renovation of the well-worn building, the last remaining industrial building in town, and finally to the final payment on the $1.1 million purchase. Over the course of six years, as many as 481 families donated $1,040,000 to the cause, bolstering $508,000 in government grants, and leading to renovation of the Brickworks building and, ultimately, its purchase by the Ag Guild. Mike Pickett, guild treasurer, labeled support for the project as a true community effort. “We couldn’t have done it without the government grants, we couldn’t have done it without our distinguished donors, and we couldn’t have done without our families,” Pickett said. Still, renovation and ownership of Brickworks is only part of the vision and of the plan. Critics early on doubted such an endeav-

Ferry travel to and from San Juan Island took another wayward turn Monday when an early morning fire in the engine room of Elwha put the boat briefly out of commission. Although the ferry was back in service by noon, the lines of expectant travelers in both Kevin Ranker Friday Harbor and Anacortes had already begun to swell. Still, it was the decision by Washington State Ferries to shutdown the international sailing for two days late last week, to remedy disruptions in ferry service near Seattle, that drew a pointed and swift rebuke from state Sen. Kevin Ranker. Ranker, D-Orcas Island, noted that the shift of boats gave the Edmonds-Kingston route two boats and left the San Juans international run, which docks twice each day in Friday Harbor, with none. “Historically, when a ferry is down elsewhere in the system, replacement ferries have come from the San Juan route,” Ranker, D-Orcas Island said. “During the winter, while there is an impact, I have supported these decisions, because we have lower ridership and can—for the most part— absorb the impact. In the summer however, this is not the case. To simply end the Sidney run during an extremely busy and economically lucrative part of the year is, quite frankly, irresponsible.” WSF canceled the Thursday

On July 28, Dustin Ryan Hutchison, 27, was sentenced in San Juan County Superior Court to 30 days in jail and ordered to pay $1,350 in fines and fees; a restitution hearing is slated for Sept. 5. He pleaded guilty in mid-June to one count of residential burglary, a Class B felony, which carries a standard range of sentencing set by the state of 3-9 months in jail, and maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both. Hutchison, who qualified for sentencing as a first-time felony offender, will be allowed to serve 30 days on the Sheriff 's Department work crew if he qualifies for the program. A charge of trafficking in stolen property was dismissed. Hutchison was arrested at his Point Caution Drive on a pair of felony charges April 26, about three weeks after two TV sets, DVDs and a DVR disappeared following a breakin and theft at a neighboring home used as a vacation rental. He reportedly was assisted by a female accomplice who also faced prosecution for the burglary and theft. Hutchinson was confronted by local authorities about the break-in and theft after footage from a security camera revealed that he sold a 47-inch flat-screen TV at a Mount Vernon pawn shop. He reportedly told investigators that he broke into the home, stole the equipment and pawned what he could to repay a drug debt, according to court documents. Hutchinson, whose record includes nearly a half-dozen convictions for misdemeanors, qualified for sentencing as

trespass; treatment in lieu of jail

An Orcas Island man who a year ago helped a female friend break into a relative’s home and steal credit cards, cash and power tools will be allowed to undergo treatment for substance abuse in lieu of jail, after pleading no-contest to criminal trespass. On July 27, Jason Allen Buehler, 26, pleaded no-contest, also known as an Alford plea, to one count of first-degree criminal trespass, a gross misdemeanor, which carries maximum penalties of one year in jail, a $5,000 fine, or both. He was sentenced to 364 days in jail, with 364 days suspended, given two years probation, and ordered to pay $850 in fines and fees, and to pay $1,400 in restitution. According to court documents, a female friend of Buehler’s, Sierra Frank, told authorities following her recent conviction for residential burglary, a Class B felony, that he had taken part in the break-in and theft at the Deer Harbor home of a relative. She had earlier been banned from the house for reportedly using credit cards without the relative’s permission. Following the burglary, footage from a surveillance camera at the Country Corner Store in Eastsound reportedly tied Frank to the use of a debit card that went missing following the June 2013 break-in. Authorities initially charged Buehler with residential burglary and third-degree theft, a gross misdemeanor. He failed to appear in court on the charges and reportedly in custody in a neighboring county at the time authorities were searching for him. Under the sentence, he is required to be evaluated for alcohol and to follow all recommendation. The remainder of the suspended can be impose if he commits a crime while under probation.

A mountain bike trail for Moran?

Reach 2.7 Million Readers

We’ve Got You Covered

Islands’ Sounder Assistant editor

When it comes to talking about a possible new mountain bike trail in Moran State Park and about the bigger picture of human impact in wild places, environmental planner Andrew Fielding is the man to talk to, which is why he appeared at a meeting on Orcas. The session, on July 21 at the Eastsound Fire Hall Meeting Room, was held to get feedback from islanders about the trail. It was also a chance to discuss Washington State Parks’ long-term management options at Moran State Park as Orcas Power and Light Cooperative transitions away from the current utility corridor there. Parks has received a proposal from Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance for formal development of a trail that will follow the alignment of the power line corridor. The developed trail would use an existing trail and the power line access road. Fielding said the next step for the park is to hold an internal meeting to discuss recent comments, costs and the operational impact. He added that obtaining the permits will be the most time consuming aspect if parks moves forward with the trail. At the meeting islanders voiced concern about mountain biking trails that intersect with hiking paths. Fielding said parks will install fencing in areas to slow down biking traffic around pedestrians. There will also be signage to help the two activities converge. The issue of environmental concern was also broached at the meeting. For instance, what happens if mountain bikers take shortcuts and damage vegetation? “Cutting corners on the trail damages vegetation,” Fielding said. Parks discourages people from taking shortcuts by piling up brush and branches in specific areas. He added

that another issue is that all trails cause erosion because of the removal of natural vegetation. Ways to combat this degradation include proper planning for the trail line and hardening of the surface, which can sometimes include a bridge or boardwalk. Parks will also have to form a plan to deal with noxious weeds. According to Fielding, hiking and biking “make it hard for native plants to establish and make it really easy for non-native plants to grow.” Depending on what weeds appear on a new trail, Fielding said, there is a variety of control methods from handpulling to herbicides. To comment on the proposal, go to www.parks. wa.gov/881/Moran-Mountain-Bike-Trail-Proposal-Plan.

District explains EMS tax levy proposal — Information below is submitted by the San Juan Hospital District as a press release. For more on the ballot measure, visit www.sjcphd.org

San Juan Island EMS will seek a replacement six-year levy on the November election ballot. Property values have dropped since the existing levy was passed. By the end of 2016, the estimated revenue loss to EMS will be $4.2 million.

This shortfall necessitated significant cuts to this year’s EMS budget. Unless revenue is stabilized by this levy increase, future losses will require additional cuts. The current levy rate is 35 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. Increasing the levy rate to 50 cents per $1,000 will replace some of the lost revenue due to declining property values and changes in insurance coverage due to the

Affordable Care Act. If passed, this levy would replace the remaining two years of the current six-year levy, and allow stable funding for personnel, ambulances, equipment, and overall EMS operations for an additional six years, taking effect in 2015. The levy funds about one-third of the total EMS budget and provides the equipment and train-

ing for our professional EMTs, paramedics, and flight nurses, available “24/7/365” with no out-ofpocket billing expenses to district residents. The EMS levy only supports San Juan Island EMS, and not the hospital or the hospital’s emergency department.

There are many reasons why homes priced too high for the market won’t sell. One is that they may not appraise at the asking price and the buyer can’t get a mortgage. Another is that the home will become “shopworn”. That is, it will sit on the market for a long time while being used to help sell the competition. Sellers of real estate often forget that houses are like other products. They have no more control over the market and the buyers than they do when they sell their car, stocks or art. You could use stocks as an analogy. If Microsoft is selling for $25 a share today, can I sell it for $40 because I bought it from a stock broker in Redmond where the headquarters of the company is located? What if I know Bill Gates, can I get more money for the stock? What if I think it will go up? If something is priced competitively, it will sell. The key word is competitively. You have to beat the competition and offer a buyer the most perceived value for the money. 50 Spring Street, (360)378-3600 or (800)262-3596 www.windermeresji.com

disposal (See “Letters”, pg. 6). “I was left with no resources and no access to any facilities—no shelter, phone/internet, water, restrooms, etc. I was a woman relegated to sleeping on a bench outside,” Cornely writes. The two-day cancelation of the international run came at the height of tourist season in the San Juans and on the eve of the city of Anacortes’ widely popular and commercially significant 53rd annual Arts Festival, Ranker added. “I have nothing but sympathy for our fellow ferry commuters south of us; we know all too well the frustration, negative economic impact and wasted time that comes from delayed ferry service,” he said. “There are major differences, however, that make this decision by senior administration at Washington State Ferries disappointing and shortsighted. First, while our friends to the south are experiencing significant and unacceptable delays, they at least still have service. The removal of this vessel from the Anacortes/Sidney Route does not just cause horrible delays, it cancels the entire route.” WSF’s Capt. George Capacci said the Tacoma’s power failure left Ferries with two vessels in need of unplanned work at the same time, while two other ferries, the Yakima and Kitsap, are out of service for scheduled maintenance. Capacci described the situation

this year and another 144-auto ferry is under construction. “…the fact that we have more and more vessels out of service is a clear indicator that we must move quickly to complete construction of the three new 144 car ferries,” Ranker said. “Even more to the point, however, is that this further underscores the critical need for the legislature to pass a transportation package that will improve our clearly struggling ferry system as well as other sorely needed infrastructure improvements throughout our state.”

2014 ELECTION

‘Pro’ & ‘con’ writers wanted for ballot With the primary election almost over, the general election can’t be far behind. This November’s ballot promises a number of measures, both local and statewide. For all ballot measures submitted by local governments, it is the responsibility of the district to appoint committees to write arguments for and against whatever type of measure will appear on the ballot. If a district is unable to appoint committees, the responsibility falls onto a county auditor. San Juan County Elections is expecting five different local tax measures to be on the November ballot. Two of the jurisdictions submitting those measures have already said they can’t find writers

against the tax measures. Others may end up in the same position. For that reason, San Juan County Auditor Milene Henley is seeking people interested in writing arguments against any of the following measures. The five expected measures are: 1. San Juan County EMS property tax levy 2. Town of Friday Harbor .2 percent sales tax to create a Transportation Benefit District 3. Orcas Island School District property tax levy (not yet submitted) 4. Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District property tax levy (not yet submitted) 5.

State seeks name proposals for the newest ferry Construction of the next 144-car-ferry is under way and the Washington State Transportation Commission invites people from across the state to get involved and submit their ideas for the new boat’s name. Ferry name proposals will be accepted until 5 p.m., Friday, Sept. 12. The commission has established the following guidelines to assess ferry name proposals: Names for ferries should carry statewide significance and represent our state’s image and culture. Specifically, names should represent such things as: state adopted symbols, tribal names, names of bodies of water, geographic locations, cities, counties, relate to nautical heritage, etc. Consideration will be given to the consistency with existing Washington State Ferries fleet names. Names should have broad familiarity, are non‐offensive, and meet ethical standards. Names with commercial overtones or names honoring or commemorating individuals should be avoided, but will be considered upon very careful review. All submittals must conform with the guidelines; provide background

information on the proposed name; and provide indications of widespread public support, commonly done via local press stories, letters of support from local/regional/ state bodies and officials, local petitions, and any other appropriate supportive information. Submittals should be sent to: PO Box 47308, Olympia, WA 98504-7308, or to transc@wstc.wa.gov Following the Sept. 12 deadline, the Transportation Commission will begin its review and public comment process for the eligible name proposals. This will include input from Washington State Ferries, the Ferry Advisory Committee Executive Council, and the general public. Final selection of the name will occur at the commission’s Nov. 19 meeting in Lakewood. Many of the 23 vessels in Washington State Ferries’ fleet have names reflecting the state’s tribal, geographic and historic heritage. The most recently named vessels – Samish and Tokitae – are in keeping with that tradition. Additional information on ferry naming can be found on the commission web site at: http://www.wstc.wa.gov/Naming/default.htm

Dismantle over water? DNR seeks comment ants during deconstruction. Older and sometimes abandoned marine vessels can pose significant risks to Washington waters and to public health and safety. The vessels can be at risk of sinking and can contain oil, fuel and hazardous materials that are toxic to our waters. The new permit would cover individual vessels, allowing permittees to dismantle the vessel while afloat. That will create cost savings and additional options when deconstruction at a shipyard isn’t feasible. Final deconstruction would need to be done at facilities permitted to perform this work. Ecology enlisted an advisory committee of industry experts in developing the permit.

Ecology is collecting public comment on the draft permit until Aug. 22. It will hold a public hearing and workshop at 1 p.m., Aug. 19, at South Seattle Community College Georgetown, room C122, 6737 Corson Ave. S., Seattle.

Comments can be emailed to Vincent McGowan, or mailed to McGowan at Washington Department of Ecology, P.O. Box 47600, Olympia, WA 98504-7600. All comments must be received by midnight Aug. 22.

Removing and disposing of them safely and properly is a priority for reducing environmental harm. But relatively few facilities are permitted to perform this work. The Washington Department of Ecology is developing a new water quality permit in response to the growing problem, and is asking for public comments on the approach. Currently, there is no water quality permit for taking vessels apart over water. This new permit would fill that void, but it would not replace permits for existing facilities.

OPINION Letters to the Editor

Who gets shaft when ferries fail?

I was stranded while traveling alone, on foot, in Sidney, B.C. on Friday, July 11, when someone at Washington State Ferries made the decision to cancel the only sailing to Friday Harbor rather than replace the ailing M/V Chelan with the M/V Elwha. I was left with no resources and no access to any facilities—no shelter, phone/ internet, water, restrooms, etc. I was a woman relegated to sleeping on a bench outside. After one week since emailing, coverage on KOMO news, and requests from elected officials, including Sen. Cantwell’s and governor Inslee’s offices, George Capacci, interim assistant secretary, WSDOT Ferries Division, finally contacted me. In my initial outreach my concern was for passenger safety and what WSF would do to ensure future safety of foot passengers. Those concerns were glossed over in Mr. Capacci’s response and he referred to my stranding as an inconvenience. WSF also reminded me that I was not entitled to any type of reimbursement as they do not guarantee service. July 30, WSF posted an alert canceling both July 31 and Aug. 1—two days of the Sidney route—leaving foot passengers in the same situation I shared with the media only weeks ago. WSF moved a vessel to the Bainbridge route in spite

of the policy Mr. Capacci explained to me, “No vessels are moved for the first 24 hours after a breakdown.” WSF also issued passengers of the M/V Tacoma vouchers for their delay. I paid full price for my overnight stranding when the one boat route, with one sailing to Friday Harbor, was canceled and no vessels were moved. I am once again seeking answers from WSF and Mr. Capacci regarding policy and why it is that a route still running boats—accessible via a bridge, even— was allocated another vessel in less than 24 hours, and why was a vessel was removed from the islands, canceling an entire route and stranding passengers, without other options, for two days without access to any facilities? And why were delayed commuters—who still got home—afforded more consideration for their delay than those previously left behind without shelter? Are there two sets of policy, one for the islands and one for Seattle? AUNDE CORNELY San Juan Island

Westcott and Roche Harbor Road, on Roche Harbor land, which has been going on for years, suddenly is a concern? Personally, I don’t see much difference between a guy feeding eagles and people with wild bird feeders in their backyard. The issue here, is one of public safety. Eagle feeding has become a tourist activity that attracts upwards of 20 people a day. They are out standing on a highway, with a 45 mph speed limit, pointing cameras toward the sky, oblivious to traffic, and an accident will happen. It’s just a matter of time. Complicating this issue is that there is a curve to the south, and a blind hill to the north, on Roche Harbor Road, which makes seeing pedestrians scurrying across the road difficult. Radical solutions might be posting signs that say, “Slow to 25 when eagles or tourists are present,” See LETTERS, Page 7

Edgy about reservations?

here’s an episode of the “Seinfeld” sitcom that has a pretty funny bit about reservations. The gist of it is that taking, or making, a reservation is the easy part. It’s the “holding” onto what’s being reserved, making sure it’s available, that’s the key... at least from the consumers’ point of view. With that in mind, it seems reliability would be a fairly significant element to count on in order to make any type of reservation system fly, or sail. Then again, maybe that’s just us. Washington State Ferries does a pretty good job in moving more than 23 million commuters, tourists and business passengers throughout the greater Puget Sound, and the Salish Sea, each and every year. But reliability has not been WSF’s strong suit so far this summer. The two-day cancellation of the international run and shifting of boats from the San Juans to cover sailings down Sound is but one example, and a questionable one at that, given that one of the two boats assigned to the Edmonds-Kingston run was still in operation. Sure, accidents happen. And, disruptions in ferry service are to be expected. But if the state ferry system is to go full steam ahead with a fullblown reservation system, slated to begin in the San Juans in early January, it would seem reliable boats are key. The legislature needs to step up.

Good going so far, but what’s ahead? Inventory of housing that’s ‘affordable’ may fall, rentals too, as home sales climb By Gary Franklin

Special to the Journal

o far, 2014 has been a busy year for real estate sales. We’ve doubled the number of transactions for both homes and vacant land over the same time period last year. We’ve seen the average median price of homes sold on San Juan Island rise from $399,000 during the first half of 2013 to $424,000 for the first half of 2014 and our inventory of homes in many price ranges is dwindling. Demand is rising and supply is falling. One might expect a “building boom” for the islands, in order to keep up with the demand. But challenges to providing more supply of island housing are many. Buffer setbacks, zoning restrictions, permitting fees, ferried-in material costs are the big ones. Without increasing supply, prices can continue upward, passing the affordable mark. When interest rates rise sometime next year, even fewer buyers will be able to Gary Franklin afford an island home. Each 1 percent interest rate increase reduces a home’s affordability by 10 percent (If you qualify for a $300,000 home at 4 percent, you’ll only qualify for a $270,000 home at 5 percent). Today, about a third of us are year-round islanders. But a lack of affordable homes and rentals will decrease that number. There soon may come a time for community intervention. “Higher housing costs and displaced local residents… should we pay attention?” When the supply of housing can’t keep up with the demand

A hot market is good for home sellers and for those with resources to buy, but not so much for affordability of housing—on an island.

for it, because of external factors, it’s called a “housing market failure”. If it happens here, the result will be higher home prices, a lack of affordable housing (including rentals) and ultimately fewer businesses and employees to attract tourists. What kind of external pressures might do this? Obvious ones include second-home demand by buyers from elsewhere, growth management regulation, land-use and zoning regulations, and the fact that we’re surrounded by water. The inability of those seeking housing to shift to another community – meaning, off island- affects housing prices. When home buyers’ choices are restricted to an island, higher prices can be expected. “We can’t have our firemen living in Anacortes and commuting in. It won’t work.” Growth management, zoning and land-use regulations also limit the housing supply and result in increased housing costs. Second-home buyers from other economies bid up home prices and ultimately price locals out of the housing market. So, while we’re grateful to be busy in such a paradise, we’re also looking ahead. If we recognize that housing affordability is imporSee AHEAD, Page 9

As I See It

Rule of one? Not what the charter says By David Dehlendorf

Letters:

Wednesday, August 6, 2014 — 7

Special to the Journal

hen our county’s most recent charter amendment was approved in 2012, voters returned to the county council the executive powers that had been taken away when the original charter was approved in 2005. As voters on both sides were justifiably concerned about the council's potential abuse of these powers, the charter commission built in a provision (Section 2.4.2 of our Home Rule Charter) that gives these powers only to the entire council. It specifically prohibits individual council members from giving orders to managers and supervisors. As demonstrated by recent action by council member Bob Jarman, these fears were completely justified. In violation of the amended charter, Mr. Jarman recently ordered the cancellation of a county contract executed only 12 days earlier. On July 10, Sam Gibboney, director of the Department of Community Development, and Mike Thomas, county manager, executed a contract with Lovel Pratt with a value of up to $5,000. The contract’s purpose was to advise the county on matters related to oil spill

Unrestrained executive power is exactly what voters sought to prevent

prevention, readiness, and response. Because the contract was for less than the required threshold, it did not need or receive prior approval of the council. On July 22, only 12 days after it was executed, Ms. Gibboney delivered a letter to Ms. Pratt advising her that the contract had been cancelled, with no reason given. Under the contract, the county acted within its rights to cancel it for any reason. I have personally spoken about the contract’s termination with Ms. Gibboney, Mr. Thomas, and all three council members. Ms. Gibboney told Ms. Pratt that Mr. Thomas had instructed her to cancel the contract. Mr. Thomas said he acted under direction from Mr. Jarman. Mr. Jarman acknowledged this fact in a personal conversation with me. Moreover, there is no record of an official meeting of the council to discuss and act on this matter. Council members Jamie Stephens and Rick Hughes both told me they did not

give any orders to Mr. Thomas on the cancellation. Mr. Jarman’s action has shown a complete disregard for our county’s charter by circumventing its requirement that only the David Dehlendorf full council can direct county employees. He has also demonstrated his willingness to submit to political pressure and to micromanage without authority, while ignoring impacts on the morale of managers who have had their authority undermined. I also believe Mr. Thomas displayed questionable judgment by not questioning Mr. Jarman’s authority to “direct” him on this matter. There are other reasons for the public to be concerned. First, it is inherently unfair to cancel a contract with anyone, let alone a person of Ms. Pratt’s experience, capability, and integrity, only 12 days after it was signed. She is arguably the most qualified individual in our county to perform the work specified in the contract. Second, the cancellation has the See SAYS, Page 8

Donald Martin Hickethier: 1933–2014 Donald Martin Hickethier, beloved husband, father and grandfather, died July 19, 2014, of natural causes. Don was born in Panama to Henry H. Hickethier and Ruth Hickethier (nee Goucher). Don was raised in Texas, Missouri and San Diego while his father served in the Navy. Don graduated from Grossmont High School, San Diego, in 1949 and San Diego State University in 1954, where he met Mary M. Quinones. They were married in 1954 and had five children. Don went to work for the First National Bank of California, transferring to the Oceanside California branch in 1960, working first as a loan officer, and later, as branch manager. In the 1970s he went to work for South Coast Asphalt in Oceanside (later Hanson’s Aggregates), first as its CFO and later, as his expertise in the field grew, as its regulatory affairs manager. Through all these efforts he was well known by most of the local city council and government officials. Don worked on various projects until retiring at the age of 76 as a consultant for Escondido Sand and Gravel. Through Don’s second wife, Clara Joann, Don discovered the San Juan Islands and became a regular visitor, often staying for the holiday season and most of the summer at Joann’s mother’s house, on Mill Road, in the 1980s and 90s.

Don built his and Joann’s dream island home on Cattle Point Road in 1998. Don and Joann had a close circle of friends and family, becoming regulars at the VFW Hall (the Club) and attending numerous civic activities. Don was also an enthusiastic supporter of the San Juan Historical Society, and during the winter months Don and Joann “kept in touch” by entertaining any friends and family from the island who would venture south for a visit to their Oceanside, Calif. home. Don loved a good party, fishing, hunting, and “hanging” with his many friends, family and neighbors. He loved and could cook seafood, chili and venison in all forms. He was well known for his generosity, sense of humor, and love of the outdoors (at least if it wasn’t too cold or wet). Don was predeceased by his second wife, Clara Joann Hickethier, mother-in-law Juanita Rouleau (nee Egeland) and son Martin Hickethier. He is survived by his former wife Mary Hickethier, his daughters Sharon Henry (Terry) of Oceanside, Calif., Betsy Allen of Carlsbad, Calif, his sons Don Hickethier of Oceanside, Calif., Fred Hickethier of San Francisco, Calif., stepson Phil Fuehr of Edmonds, Wash., stepdaughter Pam Fuehr of Friday Harbor, Wash., eight grandchildren, one great-grandson, and his best friend and brother-in-law, Ed (Barbara) Rouleau of Friday Harbor, Wash.

Rob Roy McGregor, 81, of Friday Harbor, Wash. passed away peacefully on Monday, July 21, 2014 in Friday Harbor. Teddy, his wife of 60 years, was by his side. His family will remember a generous and loving father and husband who always knew what he wanted. Traveling was a passion and he was fortunate enough to see the world.

Rob is survived by his wife, Teddy; son and daughter-inlaw, Jim and Mary McGregor; daughter, Betsy McGregor; grandchildren, Brittany and spouse, Ryan Gaither, Rob Roy McGregor; and great-grandchildren, Ava, Layla, and Samuel.

‘Twelfth Night’ in transit

Stage Left heads home for final run, three weeks, nine shows, at Wold Road

hipwrecks, disguises, brash—sometimes foolhardy—suitors, gender roles in reverse, and mistaken identities… sounds like cornerstones of a Shakespeare comedy. And, it is. Island Stage Left heads home to the outdoor stage on Wold Road for a series of nine final performances in its summer 2014 presentation of “Shakespeare Under the Stars,” featuring the Bard’s classic rib-tickling and heart-tugging romantic comedy, “Twelfth Night,” beginning Friday, Aug. 8. Written just after “Hamlet”, “Twelfth Night” reveals a more mature Shakespeare, writing about Contributed photo / John Sinclair the wonders of reconciliation, of second chances and of redemption, still paired with his trademark Tension mounts as the drama unfolds in laugh-out-loud comedy, and with a liberal dose of Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.” romance added in. On the heels of a three-week run at Roche Harbor Resort and opening week in outer islands, the Stage Left troupe will no doubt be in top-flight form for the three-week finale. Performances are Friday, Saturday and Sunday, starting at 8:30 p.m. Each show is festival seating, first-come, first served in shuffle for space, and play-goers are encouraged to bring a jacket, warm clothing or blankets to help ward off the San Juan Islands night chill, as daytime temperatures drop as the sun slips past the horizon, and stars come out to shine.

Business boom at bottom of the sea? Consequences, challenges of deep-sea industrialization explored in FH Labs’ lecture Ever wonder just what kind of business goes on way down under the surface of the open ocean? And, what it all means for the world down there? Well, if so, your ship has come in, and with marine ecologist Dr. Lisa Levin at the helm. The University of Washington Friday Harbor Laboratories welcomes Levin, of Scripps Institute of Oceanography in La Jolla, Calif, as its 16th annual Illg Distinguished Lecturer. Lin will offer a free presentation entitled “Deep-Ocean Industrialization and Biodiversity Challenges in the 21st Century,” at San Juan Community Theatre, Tuesday, Aug. 12. The lecture, intended not only for students and scientists, but the community as well, begins at 7:30 p.m. Levin is known for her study of benthic ecosystems in both the deep sea and shallow waters, and has worked with a board range of “taxa,” from microbes and micro-algae, to invertebrates and fishes. Her most recent research has emphasized three major themes: the structure, function and vulnerability of continental margin ecosystems (those subject to oxygen and sulfide stress, in particular); wetland biotic interactions as they medicate marsh function, invasion and restoration; and larval ecology of coastal marine populations, with emphasis on connectivity and response to ocean acidification and de-oxygenation. Levin has participated in more than 30 oceanographic expeditions around the world, serving as chief scientist on 12. She is the author or co-author of more than 160 scientific publications and has served as North American editor of the journal Marine Ecology, is a founding editorial board member of the Annual Reviews of Marine Science, a past contributing editor for Limnology and Oceanography and

Around Town

Four-shot dose of Dylan

Born May 24, 1941, in Duluth, Minn., Robert Allen Zimmerman may have seemed at the time the unlikeliest of folk music icons, growing up far from the musical epicenters of the day, New York, Nashville or L.A., but instead near the windswept plains of the American Midwest. With a reedy, nasally voice, and skinny as a rail, Zimmerman lacked the look and the polished sound of many of his more glamorous, popular contemporaries. But like so many revolutionaries before him, Zimmerman's arrival on the music scene seems, in hindsight, almost preordained. He tapped into a growing restlessness on the land and with an unflinching appetite for naked, raw emotion, a gift for storytelling and keen eye for detail, helped change the face—and influence—of the music of his day with such unadorned, gripping, and now classic tunes, as “The Times They are a Changin’,” “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “Like a Rolling Stone.” Oh yeah, he also changed his name. The spotlight will shine on one of the most influen-

Museum ‘topo’ map on display

There will be plenty of eye-catching exhibits at the Fair. Here’s one more. San Juan Historical Museum will showcase the introductory centerpiece of its latest exhibit, perhaps its boldest and most intricate ever, the San Juan Island Museum of History & Industry, inside the fairgrounds main exhibit hall during the four-day run of fair, Aug. 13-16. Roughly 5.5-square feet in size, that centerpiece is a 3-D topographical map that, once complete, will light up with a push of a button to reveal the boundaries of four of San Juan Island’s most influential commercial enterprises, fishing, farming, logging and production of lime. The visual anchor of the exhibit’s welcoming atrium, the “topo” map also features side-mounted video screens that provide detailed inforNSWERS TO UZZLES mation about each of the four industries, and the case in which it’s displayed has “industrial” touches which carry that theme through all areas of the museum.

Housed in the Historical Museum’s renovated 19th century barn, the H & I Museum, consists of four separate wings, as well as the atrium, that together tell the story of the formative industries and the industrious islanders who played a leading role in the rise and production of each. Funding for the map and display case comes from the Honeywell Charitable Fund of the Community Foundation of the Rappahannock River Region, and San Juan Island’s The Coming of Telegraphy to San Juan Island Valmark Corp. Its legs are made of island-grown cedar logs, donated by Bill Maas of Egg Lake Sawmill & Shake, Wednesday, August 6 at 7 pm with assistance of Wood Craft’s Dave Marsudon, and Learn how and when the first telegraph came to San Juan Island, as well the case was built by hisas its context nationwide in the mid-1800s, in an illustrated talk with San torical society members Don Juan Island National Historical Park Ranger Doug Halsey. Nixon and Fred Yockers.

The Victorian Internet:

The Zucchini 500, at the San Juan County Fair, is a metaphor for everything good about the San Juan Islands. For five short evenings, Journal file photo starting at 5 p.m., Scott Bell (the loud one, and worthy Zucchini 500 racers ready to roll. of being a game show host on any TV network) works his magic at the skate park. Young children, pre-teens, teenagers and adults, race homemade contraptions, carrying a zucchini, down 20-foot wooden ramps, into the depths of the skate park, bringing squeals of delight from both young and old. There are no politics involved. You can’t tell Democrats from Republicans. Although “Common Sense” might dictate selecting the right track, while our “Friends” would most likely suggest the left race track, in the end it doesn’t matter. Gender plays no role as girls win as often as boys. Technology sometimes triumphs, as in last year’s Hovercraft; but just as often skate wheels purchased from Consignment Treasures will defeat the finest European bearings. Future generations will someday attempt to describe the “Electrician’s Nightmare,” Susie Lefever’s racing zucchini, and Harry “The Honey man’s” CO2 cartridge powered creations, but I promise you this: it is impossible not to laugh, cheer, and be completely entertained. The County Fair is the epitome of islanders working cooperatively, in a competitive setting, to show off their skills, and just plain have a lot of fun. Come on over and watch the talented horseback riders, see the quilts, enjoy the thrill rides, listen to the music and visit the food court. You’ll eat too much, but it will be a memorable occasion.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the sellerâ€™s and buyerâ€™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 sellerâ€™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

1. The ONE place not to be is in the path of whales. Don’t position your vessel in the path of oncoming whales within 400 yards of a whale 2. Stay at least TWO hundred yards away from any killer whale (200 yards = the distance of two football fields or about 200 meters). 3. Remember these THREE ways to Be Whale Wise: follow the guidlines for viewing all wildlifte, check for local protected areas and restrictions, and always be safe. WHO do the new rules apply to? All motorized and non motorized vessels (including kayaks), with exceptions to maintain safe navigation and for certain types of vessels in the course of official duties, ships in the shipping lanes, research vessels under permit, and vessels lawfully engaged in commercial or treaty Indian fishing that are actively setting, retrieving, or closely tending fishing gear. WHAT do the new rules say? Except for specific exceptions, it is unlawful for any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to: I. Cause a vessel to approach, in any manner within 200 yards (182.9 m) of any killer whale. II. Position a vessel to be in the path of any killer whale at any point located within 400 yards (365.8 m) of the whale.
