Miles to go, promises to keep By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

Journal staff report

A San Juan Island man who recently served six months for a felony sex offense faces a new round of criminal charges for allegedly spending time with a woman and her child shortly after his release from jail. On Aug. 6, Troy Fitzgerald Niebling was taken into custody by the San Juan County Sheriff ’s Department on the heels of a complaint about the 49-year-old spending time with the woman and her child. Niebling, convicted in February of one count of voyeurism, a Class C felony, turned himself into the Sheriff ’s Department upon learning that a warrant had been issued for his arrest, according to Undersheriff Bruce Distler. He was taken into custody on a state Department of Corrections warrant and transported by plane to Island County jail later that day. He was then transferred to a socalled “violators facility” at the Snohomish County jail to await a hearing on the alleged violation of terms of his courtordered probation, Distler said. A registered sex offender, Niebling was ordered to serve six months in jail in mid-March after pleading guilty to the felony sex offense. He reportedly was released Aug. 5 from Island County jail. Department of Corrections spokeswoman Norah West said that Niebling is scheduled to See 24 HRS, Page 4

As far as wedding gifts go, theirs has to be a first. Not only did Joshua Accomando and Lexi Abel both finish first in the Friday Harbor 8.8K Loop Run, in their respective divisions, men’s and women’s, but by doing so they fulfilled a promise they made to Abel’s mother, Susan Hyde, and soon-to-be stepfather, Jay Lien, on the eve of the elder couple’s wedding. Which, by the way, was set to begin only about six hours after the Boston-area couple crossed the finish line, respectively, at the Friday Harbor fairgrounds, Saturday, Aug. 16. After catching their breath, the two avid longdistance runners were last seen sprinting away from the fairgrounds, headed for the shower, no doubt. “We told them we were going to win it for them,” the 32-year-old Abel said. “We looked at the times from earlier races and we thought we could do it,” Accomando added. And did it, they did. But only by a hair’s breath.

First place 8.8K Loop Run finishers Lexi Abel and Joshua Accomando show encouragement to Abel’s mother and stepfather on the day of the elder couple’s wedding. The two Boston-area runners vowed to win the annual 5.4-mile run as a wedding gift, and they both made good on that vow.

Our father, Victor Prescott, peacefully passed away in his sleep on Aug. 17, 2014, at the San Juan Island home of his son and daughter-law, Rick and Torrey Prescott, where he had lived for the past three years. Born in Los Angeles on Dec. 4, 1922, Victor spent his 91 years full of curiosity about the world around him. He shared his excitement about science, math, history and ideas with his children, Viki, Rick, Larry and Colleen, and he instilled in each a dedication to learning throughout life. He often said to each one, “I love you more than you’ll ever know.” The truth is we did know, and he gave us rich lives full of childhood experiences that have shaped each one of us and his seven grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren, with another on the way. In addition to being a wonderful father, Victor, was a World War II veteran. He piloted a B-17G, one of the famous Flying Fortresses. Based in southern Italy, he flew missions to destroy Nazi supply lines, ammunition depots, and oil refineries. Early on in his service, his plane was hit by anti-aircraft flack and crash-landed in Hungary. All the crew survived and shortly after their return to the air base, they resumed flying until the end of the war. He also volunteered to fly on the final heavy bombardment of Berlin, a mission that was deemed so dangerous that the US Army Air Corps only accepted volunteers. He was decorated for that mission and received a presidential citation. In 1951-52 he was called up from the National Guard reserves to serve again in Germany, where he was a communications specialist and pilot.

In civilian life, Victor had a long and varied career with Pacific Telephone, in the Los Angeles area. He started as a lineman and retired after having spent many years in management and engineering. After retireContributed photo ment, Victor and Victor Prescott Teresa moved to Orcas Island, where he served on the Olga water board along with his good friend, David Sofaer. He was also active in the building of St. Francis Catholic Church on Orcas. Victor was predeceased by his first wife, Gwendolyn, in 1963, son Larry, in 1970, and by his second wife, Teresa, in 1995. He always said he had been so lucky to have had two wonderful marriages. And we are so grateful to have had such an amazing father, grandfather and great-grandfather Victor’s funeral will be held at St. Francis Catholic Church in Friday Harbor on Aug. 21, 2014 at 11 a.m. Burial will follow at the Catholic Cemetery, where he will be laid to rest next to his wife, Teresa.

Parking reprieve, hours extended on 22 spaces Hours of permitted parking in a total of 22 parking spaces in Friday Harbor's downtown core will increase from two hours to eight through the end of September. The temporary extension of parking hours comes in response to requests by members of the town business community, according to a town press release. The town agreed to investigate alternatives. Areas where parking times have been extended are on the north side of Court Street, adjacent to the County Courthouse,

and on 1st Street, north of Court. The Town has requested that county employees use the county parking lot on the north side of the courthouse to free up spaces on 1st. In July, the Town Council authorized the administrator to extend parking hours in the summer months to help employees find long-term parking. The extension is billed as "temporary," and subject to future review by the council. Questions? Contact the town at 378-2810, or email Wilson, duncanw@fridayharbor.org.

After consulting the internet, Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and Islands’ Sounder resident “wildlife expert” Cali Bagby, I filled a dropper with water and tried to rehydrate him. He eagerly opened his tiny mouth, gulping down drop after drop. The rows of tiny teeth and his miniscule pink tongue were incredible. After transporting him to the branches of a nearby tree, at the recommendation of Wolf Hollow, we hoped for the best. Incredibly, he was gone the next day. I like to think he is patrolling the night sky near our house. The experience brought up a lot of questions – and concerns. Facebook comments ranged from “Install a bat house” to “Does a vampire live with you?” to “Contact the health department immediately; rabies are a concern.” After talking with the county health department, it turns out I probably

shouldn’t have been handling the bat, but the risk of rabies is low. “If you find a bat that is not doing well and is around people, it could have rabies,” said County Environmental Health Specialist Gary Covington. “In the summer, we get maybe an average of one possible victim per month. It is generally from presumed exposure after finding a bat in sleeping quarters. But we’ve never had any people in San Juan County turn up with a positive rabies infection.”

Low risk of rabies

Rabies is a fatal viral disease that affects the nervous system. Any wild mammal, like a raccoon, skunk, fox, coyote, or bat can have the disease and transmit it to people through a bite. The primary animals that carry rabies in the northwest are bats. Between five and 10 percent of bats submitted for testing are found to be rabid. Bats tested for rabies are more likely to test positive because they tend to be sick and injured. Less than 1 percent of all bats in the wild are infected with rabies. Rabid bats have been See UNVEILED, Page 5

Kamykowski expected as much. The 25-year-old ceramic artist, who relocated to Orcas Island from Youngstown, Ohio, only three months ago, heard the steady sound of Accomando’s footsteps over the entire length of the course. “I could hear him breathing so I knew he was right there,” Kamykowski said. “I can’t really sprint, so I decided to hold the hardest pace I could for as long as I could and see what happens.” Accomando was quick to credit Kamykowski for setting the pace. “He did all the work,” he said.

fifth in their respective divisions, were the first islanders to cross the finish line, at 39:43 and 36:16, respectively. Stakes were high and competition fierce at the top of the field, but the bulk of the 185-or-so Loop Run participants paid little mind to the ticking of the clock. Tacoma’s Travis Holmgren completed the 5.4-mile course in 1:10:55, with 3-year-old daughter Claire, in a stroller, along for the ride. Not quite par for the course for the 42-year-old, who generally jogs three miles to stay in shape, but sans the stroller. They took a prolonged break at a water station along the way. “I was trying to keep up with my sister at the start,” Holmgren said. “It’s a bit harder with a stroller, to be honest. But it was a great experience and I’ll definitely come again next year.” San Juan Island’s Linn Motko frequently walks the 5.4mile course just for fun. Though she feels no need to hurry along, participating in the annual Loop Run is a good way for the 74-year-old to sharpen her focus, if only for a day. She strolled across the finish line in 1:20:19, second overall in the women’s 70-74 age division. “I’m not getting older, I’m getting better,” she said. “I was a minute faster this year, and 15 minutes faster than the year before that.

A year ago in May, Niebling was accused of secretly taking photographs and video footage his then-teenage daughter having sex with her boyfriend, and of storing those images on his computer. Authorities at that time claimed the photos and video were taken by Niebling in late spring of 2009, through a window of the girl’s bedroom at their Sutton Road home. She was 17 at the time. The images reportedly were still on the hard drive as of September of 2012. Prior to his conviction in March, Niebling was also convicted in Minnesota of possession of child pornography in 1992, according to court documents. In addition to six months in jail and 30 months in community custody, he was also ordered in mid-March to pay $1,024 in restitution to San Juan County for the costs of transporting witnesses in preparation for a trial.

found in almost every county in Washington, and in 2012, a total of nine rabid bats were identified in the state. According to the Washington Department of Health, there have been two cases of human rabies in the state during the last 20 years. There has never been a confirmed case in a human in San Juan County. Bats’ teeth are tiny and leave marks that are not easily seen. So if you awaken and find a bat in your room, seek medical advice immediately. Treatment, which is a series of shots, has to be initiated within 10 days. The health department can be reached at 378-4474. Russel Barsh of Kwiáht, a nonprofit scientific organization on Lopez, says bats are very unlikely to bite unless they are handled roughly or they are already injured. “They don’t bite for fun,” he said. “And they have very sharp teeth and strong jaws, like mice or rats. Imagine someone arguing that you can get bitten by a rat and not know it.” If you see a bat in your home, confine it to a room by closing all doors and windows except those to the outside. The bat will most likely leave. If it doesn’t, put leather gloves on, approach the bat cautiously, and when it lands, place a box or coffee can over it. Slide a piece of cardboard under the container to trap the animal inside. Tape the cardboard to the container securely. The health department also advises to not pick up or touch dead animals, as the virus could be in their saliva or nerve tissue. If you are bitten, wash the area vigorously

Local bats

At least five species of tiny mouse-eared bats make the islands their home. Mouse-eared bats look similar from a distance and use the same frequencies to navigate and target their prey, but they vary somewhat in body proportions and behavior. Two of our mouse-eared species are actually quite rare. We also have several larger bats: Townsend’s big-eared, silver-haired, hoary, and big brown. Bat species divide the night, hunting at different times and focusing on different kinds of insects. Big browns are fond of beetles, for example, while Townsends love moths. Bats eavesdrop on insects’ own high frequency broadcasts to locate, identify and track them. Barsh says the bat who made his way into my home was likely a baby: clumsy and just learning to get around and much more likely to get inside a house.

Bat houses

Very little is known about the abundance of bats in the San Juan Islands. For this reason, Kwiáht has been researching and advocating for the species. It works closely with Wolf Hollow, following up on reports of bats inside homes. “We have no funding for this, but it needs to be done,” Barsh said. “We can barely keep up with the number of requests we receive on Lopez, Orcas and San Juan for visiting homes to talk about bats inside walls, living in attics, roosting under eaves, or getting lost and stuck inside rooms.”

OPINION Letters to the Editor

Unlimited growth is not the answer

In response to Gary Franklin’s guest column, “Good going so far, but what’s ahead,” Aug. 6, pg. 7), I would like to speak. If I understand correctly, you are implying that rental “demand is rising and supply is falling,” as if the zoning laws are putting a stop to the development of rental units. I would like to see your statistics and your development plans. I believe that the land-use laws are designed to prevent over-development, not for the renters, but for the many who would come and over-build and over-use the resources. If lack of rental property is the issue, then let us address this need as a community, as a sacred commons, with a balanced community in mind. Perhaps those who rent are charging unreasonable prices. There is a presumption that the island community should always be receptive to development; regardless of water availability, of pressure on schools, on infrastructure issues. I say no. This community does not have to continue to grow for the benefit of a few. We are an island, finite in our space. For heaven’s sake, let us use our common sense. There are too few places left, and most all are threatened, where people can come and truly find some peace and quiet. This is still one of them. It is time to look at our

values and decide what is for the greater good. And by greater good I mean sharing what we have, but also protecting it from over-use. INGRID FABIANSON Friday Harbor

Poor reception on Orcas for paddlers

We recently spent three wonderful days kayaking in the San Juans, using our own kayaks. Leaving Jones Island we had the option of landing in Friday Harbor or Orcas Island near the ferry. Having started in Friday Harbor we thought Orcas Island deserved a visit. Upon arrival, we searched in vain for a pullout. Our only choices, it seemed to us, was a log strewn beach and a long slog up a steep hill on a narrow road, or a very high, off-the-water (for a kayak) public dock. Worse, there were small, dangerous to use emergency ladders—the only ones available. After a difficult (and dangerous) 10 minutes landing the kayaks we were presented with another problem. At the top of the dock ramp there is a sharp 90 degree turn to get to the wharf. This necessitated lifting loaded kayaks head high to navigate the corner. Needless to say, we were not impressed and will not be kayaking back to Orcas Island anytime soon. The simple addition of a small lower dock closer to the water level and a decent ladder would make it vastly easier for kayakers to put in or take out. And adding a small 45-degree section to the wharf at the top of the

United Way helps families to thrive

United Way of San Juan County understands that summer is an especially important time to provide families and children with safe, structured activities. Their generous funding ensures that all island families, regardless of income, have access to education and enrichment programs that promote learning, friendship and family wellbeing. Here at the San Juan Island Family Resource Center, two of our most important programs would not exist without United Way support. Our Birth – Four Family Support Program serves over 40 parents, babies, toddlers and preschoolers each week with structured playgroups that promote early learning and provide new parents with a chance to build a supportive social network. The Center’s Mentoring Program pairs caring adults in our community with local youth who can benefit from weekly one-onone time with a mentor. Mentors and mentees get together to do things like bike ride, bake cookies, do an art project or just talk.

‘Trashion’ show tops ‘em all It’s hard to imagine that the 2014 Fairly Outrageous Trashion Fashion Show could prove more popular than before, unless, that is, you were there. This year’s tribute to boundless creativity and rebirth of castaway materials was witnessed by what Fair officials believe is the single-largest crowd ever to attend a featured entertainment event, thanks, in part, to the recent reloca-

tion of the Main Stage to the lawn out in front of the exhibit hall. And by no means was the audience disappointed. They were, in fact, enraptured, as more than 30 contestants romped down the runway, draped in the most devilishly decorated, dazzling costumes that one might imagine. The only question is, “What’s next?”

Will league title No. 10 be Island Towing’s last hurrah? By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

t’s been said that the hallmark of a true champion is finding a way to win even when one’s not at the top of their game. Pitted against its arch-rival, the Mudsharks, and with the championship on the line last week, Island Towing proved far from flawless. But even a spate of rare errors in the field and missed opportunities at the plate couldn’t keep the perennial powerhouse of the Island Rec co-ed softball league from scratching out a victory, or prevent the players clad in those teal blue t-shirts from claiming a 10th consecutive league title, on the heels of a narrow 8-6 win. That’s right, 10 in a row. And it just might be the last. “It’s been a phenomenal run, no two ways about it,” said Gene Wilson, mainstay on the mound of the team that bears his company name and arguably its center of gravity, and, who, after a decade of dominance, is calling it quits. “I made up my mind this year, actually I made it up three years ago,” he said, noting flexibility and eyesight wane with age. “I’m overdue.” Longtime infielder and Wilson’s wife, Kelle, hung up her glove, for the most part, a year ago. Shortstop Frank Finch, arguably the most feared player at the plate over the past decade, is considering abandoning the ball field for the golf course, and Molly Finch is leaning toward retirement as well. Although Amber Kleine made her presence known both behind and at the plate, husband and longtime Towing star slugger Shawn sat out this season. Whether Towing returns next season, either as a shadow of itself, or at all, remains to be seen. But its record stands for itself: 88-5 in league play, 10 consecutive league titles, 23-1 in off-island tournaments (with as many as eight games each), two off-island tournament titles and one second-place finish. Some will say it’s practice, and getting players to consistently show up, that’s led Towing to near perfection. “They keep most of their regular players from year to year and they get people to show up for practice,” the Mudsharks John Roberson said. “And it shows. If you give them a chance and

make errors they’ll capitalize on them.” Others will point to fresh blood, like the additions of former high school standouts Michael Knowles and John Cornell, and the man on the mound. “Gene’s a good pitcher, and they get good, young players every year,” said Steve Porten, who pitched against the Towing lineup for years. Still others, like Molly Finch, note that having talented, reliable, experienced female players has been pivotal to the team’s success (league rules require an equal split of ladies and men on the field, five each). “A big part of our success is having good girls,” Finch said, “and having a good pitcher.” Wilson believes Towing’s winning ways may have more to do with chemistry than anything else. Playing as a “team” makes all the difference. “We played a ton of teams with a lot more talent than we have, where we were outclassed… and we beat ‘em,” he said. “We’re a team. Those guys, they like each other.” And, they enjoy winning as well.

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.

What do Orca whales like to eat? I

n the previous article in the Whale Pages, we presented the fact that the whales we call Killer or Orca represent a complex of many distinct populations that may prove to qualify as species; and, here we present the fact that these distinct populations specialize or “like to eat” particular prey species. All of the populations of so-called Killer whales are predatory animals currently assigned to one species (Orcinus orca, Linnaeus, 1758), and they must eat to survive; but, the preferred prey species for each population varies according to what is locally abundant and available in the marine ecosystem within swimming range. The classic studies regarding what “Killer” whales like to eat came from examination of stomach contents of these whales that were stranded in various locations around the world, or taken by whalers. The food items were fish, squid, seals, porpoises, other whales, etc. that led to the early conclusion that Orcinus orca was euryphagous, that is they fed upon a wide variety of prey and could switch diet if a particular variety became scarce. More comprehensive recent studies, including those done by the Center for Whale Research, indicate that each branch of the Orca family tree tends to strongly lean toward a prey species that is locally available and sufficiently abundant year-round for a very long time (many whale lifetimes). This tendency is termed stenophagy – a narrow variety of prey species; and, over the evolutionary time scales available from thousands of whale lifetimes it has resulted in very distinct differences in the anatomy and morphology of the various whale populations. ransient Orcinus orca whales may indeed be properly called “killers” (at least by the seals, sea lions and porpoises they consume), and they have very robust jaw structure with relatively big teeth (the better to bite you with, my dear). Their lifestyle is rather nomadic, as they travel with the seasonal migrations and/or the seasonal birthing and weaning cycles of their prey species. These mammal predator whales typically venture into the waters around the San Juan Islands in autumn and winter months when harbor seals are weaned (and unsuspecting), and when sea lions overwinter in the Salish Sea. Typically the “transients” travel in relatively small groups of 3-15 relatives and associates, and they are usually stealthy (non-vocal, so the prey species cannot hear them). This year and last year we have witnessed an unprecedented influx of “transients” around the San Juan Islands, some coming from as far as California and Alaska. There are about 250 “transient” killer whales in the Center for Whale Research catalogue for this area.

esident Orcinus orca whales may be properly called “Orca”, a term that is more fitting with the image of a peaceful non-stress-inducing population of mellow fish-eating predators with less robust jaw architecture and smaller teeth than “transient” killer whales. The “resident” lifestyle is adapted to the migrations and seasonal abundance of salmon in the eastern North Pacific Ocean. The salmon most available year-round within the “resident” swimming range are Chinook, or Kings, which happen to be the largest and most nutritious species of salmon in the world (formerly weighing up to 125 pounds each!). Chinook lifestyle, in turn, is predatory upon smaller fishes that are in greatest abundance on the continental shelf of the Pacific Ocean near the edge of upwelling currents. Chinook salmon have been taken in Human fisheries by the millions each year for the past century, and most wild populations of these fish are now “Endangered” with many already extinct. The “resident” Orca whales typically venture into the waters around the San Juan Islands in pod and multi-pod associations (Superpods) from May to September when the mature Chinook salmon are bound primarily for the Fraser River for spawning, though a few migrate to other river systems in the Salish Sea. Thus, we have an Endangered whale species obligate feeding upon an Endangered salmon species – a revolting development unforeseen by dam builders, habitat usurpers, and fishermen. As of 2014, there are currently 78 southern resident orca. Down from nearly 100 twenty years ago, and down from more than 200 that we have catalogued. We have demonstrated that the “resident” Orca survival is significantly linked to Chinook abundance, and the government managers on both sides of the US/Canada border should take more notice of this inconvenient truth before it is too late. This year (2014) during the summer when whale-watching is historically best, we have witnessed an unprecedented dispersal of “residents” around the San Juan Islands, and a continuing downtrend in their population number concurrent with a near collapse of Fraser River Chinook.

The Center for Whale Research maintains a detailed photographic catalog of the Southern Resident Killer whales dating back to the early 1970’s. The Center also documents the whales’ social structure, regional travel patterns, and foraging strategies throughout coastal waters from British Columbia to California.
