Local public hospital dis-tricts that provide maternity services or related information must also offer access to con-t r a c e p t i v e and abortion services and information c o n s i s t e n t with the “fundamen-tal rights” to birth control and abor-tion guar-anteed by Initiative 120, according to a legal opinion issued Aug. 21 by state Attorney General Bob Ferguson.

The opinion was requested by state Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas, in response to ques-tions raised in 2012, prior to the opening of Peace Island Medical Center, a unit of PeaceHealth, a system of medi-cal centers affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church. The district, supported by local property taxes, provides about $1 million in annual funding to Peace Island under an operat-ing agreement.

The formal legal opinion, which the attorney general’s press release says is not legal-ly binding but is given “great weight” by the courts, said in part: “If the state provides, directly or by contract, mater-

Business owners ousted from the now-charred waterfront building that housed Downriggers restaurant asked for assurances at a special meeting of the Friday Harbor Port Commission that they will be permitted to reopen in the same location, whether in a rebuilt or completely new building.

Debbie Rishel, owner of Downriggers, and her longtime manager Mary Ann Ragsdale were both direct. Rishel said she thought the com-missioners should say now that Downriggers can reopen, while Ragsdale reminded them and Port Director Marilyn O’Connor what Downriggers means to Friday Harbor and how much it has done for the community.

A dozen frequent customers voiced sup-port for Rishel, one of them saying he hoped Downriggers could reopen before his mother’s 93rd birthday dinner, “next April.”

The crowd murmured and nodded agree-ment with one speaker who said, “We don’t want Anthony’s in Friday Harbor.”

Four businesses were displaced after fire swept through Downriggers restaurant in the early morning hours of Aug. 17, leaving a

Rebuild? Port not ready to say

Journal staff reportThe Lummi Nation is backing

up its opposition to the coal termi-nal with action and outreach.

In support of “unconditional and unequivocal opposition to the proposed Gateway Pacific Terminal” expressed recently to federal, state and local officials, the Lummi Nation will conduct a 1,500 mile “We draw the line” journey from the coal source in Wyoming to the proposed coal terminal at Cherry Point, north of Bellingham.

The tribal delegation on the journey will accompany the Kwel

‘hoy (“We draw the line”) totem pole, now being carved by Lummi master carver Jewell James and his House of Tears carv-ers. James and his fellow carvers have a history of carving totem poles and plac-ing them at historic and culturally significant sites, including four sites connected with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

The two-week journey will generally follow the coal train path from the Powder River

Basin in Montana and Wyoming, connecting with Indian tribes, towns, cities and rural residents along the route to Xwe’chienXen, the name for the 3,500 year-old Lummi village site and burial ground located at the site of the

Nichols St. goes upscale with ‘Big Cheese’

By steve WehrlyJournal reporter

Sherri Daly has been fascinated by cheese since micro-biology classes in college; Richard Daly is a wine buff and “retired” marketing executive.

Together, they started San Juan Island Cheese across Nichols Street from the Brickworks, in the former Sea Shepherd headquarters.

“The location is great,” said Richard, “and we’re getting a good mix of local and tourist traffic, some for the cheese, some for the wine, some for the back patio, which I call “the oasis.”

Sherri’s pleased that patrons appreciate the extensive selection of cheese.

“We spent a lot of time traveling the West Coast to find exquisite cheeses, and we rotate almost 60 different varieties from all over the world,” she said.

“And 40 wines, the best from the Northwest,” Richard adds.

Four favorite cheeses: Oma, from the Von Trapp dairy in Vermont; Abbaye de Belloc sheepsmilk cheese from France; Ladysmith from Skagit County’s Samish Bay Cheese Company; and Quail’s Croft from San Juan Island.

The Daly’s “discovered the San Juans” a few years ago, as the three kids started to move out of their longtime Issaquah home and Richard started to contemplate a differ-

ent life after Metropolitan Life, where he was a senior vice president for marketing.

In addition to wine and cheese, the Dalys love the whales. Both are active at the Whale Museum (Richard is president of the board) and their west side home has an “orca view”.

San Juan Island Cheese, open Thursday through Monday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., (10 a.m. on Saturday), offers a menu featuring two daily cheeseboards, three small plates, three salads, and three paninis (including grilled cheese) and three “regular” sandwiches.

Wine tastings with cheese pairings are on Thursdays, at 4 p.m. Info: www.sjicheese.com, 360-370-5115.

proposed coal port.SSA Marine, the lead

partner seeking develop-ment of the 1,500 acre Cherry Point site, contin-ues to promote the devel-opment, touting 1,250 permanent jobs and $140 million in economic activ-ity created by the project. The project is currently undergoing an extensive environmental review by the federal, state and

local government agen-cies, including the U.S. Corps of Engineers and the Washington Department of Ecology as well as the Whatcom County govern-ment.

SSA, and its partner Peabody Coal, point to eco-nomic benefits and envi-ronmental safeguards they will build into the project to assure that the negative environmental effects will be minimized.

Lummi tribal leaders aren’t buying. They point to damage to historical

sites already incurred in the area of their historic villages, including a grave-yard. They claim major adverse impacts on their “Schelangen,” or “way of life,” which stresses the con-nectedness of all things and the need for future plan-ning for the next seven gen-erations.

James, who in addition to being a master carver is the director of the Lummi Sovereignty and Treaty Protection Office, and Jay Julius, secretary of the Lummi Nation Council,

have assumed leadership roles in publicly opposing the coal port, both locally and nationally, including a recent appearance on the PBS Newshour program.

James and Julius will be conducting a joint pro-gram on Orcas Island, on Saturday, Aug. 31, at 5 p.m. at the Episcopal Parish Hall on Main Street, Eastsound, cosponsored by Friends of the San Juans and the Orcas No COALalition. Admission is free, dona-tions to the totem pole jour-ney are accepted.

After more than a year of fits, starts and complications, Orcas Recycling Services is in the driver’s seat at the Orcas Island solid waste transfer sta-tion.

The San Juan County Council unanimously approved a contract Aug. 20 with Orcas Recycling Services to provide solid waste and recycling han-dling services at the Orcas Island transfer station.

ORS and San Juan County Public Works expect that ORS will begin operations in September. ORS will take over all solid waste operations at the transfer station and provide services to both self-haulers and the county solid-waste franchise hauler, San Juan Sanitation.

The initial five-year contract can be extended by the county in five-year increments for up to 20 years.

ORS will initially offer lower disposal rates, so self-haulers on Orcas are expected to see an immediate decrease in disposal costs, and will be mak-ing improvements to the solid-waste facility in the near and long term, according to county officials.

Immediate improvements include installing new signage, minor traffic improvements and a new tarping station for transfer trailers. ORS is also planning on building a re-use facility on the site and first expects to com-plete a site master plan.

ORS has not yet proposed a schedule for construction of the re-use facil-ity.

Direct questions regarding ORS and its new operations to ORS Director Pete Moe, [email protected], or 360-298-2600.

Summer Serenade

Signed, sealed, delivered; it’s ORS

Contributed photo / SJCPen in hand, ORS Director Pete Moe signs a contract Aug. 20 giving the Orcas Island-based non-profit the green light to collect and dispose of recycling and trash at the county-owned Orcas Island solid waste transfer station.

summertime crew of roughly 50 restaurant work-ers without a job, and three businesses based on the ground floor of the port-owned building, Friday Harbor Marine, San Juan Excursions and San Juan Safaris, without a home.

Albert Hall reminded the crowd that the bulkhead along the whole waterfront was failing and probably in violation of rules. The Port is already in the early plan-ning stages for rebuilding the bulkhead and putting a boardwalk along the water-side.

Both the bulkhead and the possibility of oil con-tamination in the area from former storages tanks will have to be addressed before construction permits can be issued.

Port commissioners Barbara Marrett and Mike Arhenius were sympathetic but non-committal in their responses to the business owners and an overflow crowd of about 100 people that packed San Juan Island Yacht Club, Aug. 21.

“We’re doing everything we can to help the business-es, but it’s just too soon to say what we’ll do or when it will be done,” Arhenius said. “We know how important the location is to the town and to all of you here and we will move on this as fast as possible.”

Marrett was even more forthcoming. “I have a defi-nite bias in your favor,” she said. “My heart is with you. The port’s policy favors local businesses and local people.”

Friday Harbor Town Administrator Duncan

Wilson assured that the town would do “everything possible” to expedite stud-ies and permits necessary to begin rebuilding, but urged patience so that the com-plex task could be complet-ed “in the right way.”

Wilson confirmed that the state Department of Ecology would have to be satisfied that the site was compliant with shoreline development rules before building permits could be issued.

After the meeting, some of the departing crowd walked in front of the burned-out restaurant, where five fire forensic investigators

and engineers, their faces shielded by double-sided filter masks, were engaged in what one of them termed “a layer-by-layer archaeo-logical dig” in accordance with NFPA 921, the forensic fire investigator’s “bible”.

By Friday noon, inves-tigators had finished their work, characterized as a “normal investigation” with “no surprises” by sev-eral people familiar with the investigation. These

sources, who are not inves-tigators, independently con-firmed that a preliminary report was expected to be released Monday.

The most sobering con-clusion was offered by Mike Close, owner of Friday Harbor Marine, as he left the room. Close said that he of course wants to get back into full operation as soon as possible, “but, real-istically, were talking about a two-year timetable.”

nity care benefits, services, or information to women through any program administered or funded in whole or in part by the state, the state shall also provide women otherwise eligible for any such program with substantially equivalent benefits, services, or information to permit them to voluntarily terminate their pregnancies.”

The opinion applies to public hospital districts providing “benefits, services or information” covered by Initiative 120 “directly or by contract.” It does not apply to “purely private” health care institutions, but appears to apply to situations, such as in San Juan County, where the San Juan Island hos-pital district provides substantial funding for health care services to Peace Island medical center.

Local health care activist Monica Harrington termed the opinion “an important first step” - an opinion reiterated by the ACLU, which has long been active in the reproductive rights issue and has recently become active in issues involv-ing hospital mergers with religion-based institutions, such as PeaceHealth.

The ACLU response to the AG opinion states: “It addresses only obligations to provide reproductive services

covered by I-120, and does not address the obligations of private entities outside of the public hospital district

context.”Jim Barnhart, chief administrative officer of Peace Island

Medical Center, said that “PeaceHealth is carefully consid-ering the implications of the opinion and will have a full response in the near future.”

Alison Shaw, practice administrator of Orcas Medical Center, said she has not yet reviewed the opinion.

Orcas Medical Center operates under a contract between the Orcas Medical Foundation, which owns the OMC building, and Island Hospital of Anacortes. Island Hospital, Skagit Valley Hospital and Cascade Valley Hospital, which are all operated by publicly supported hospital districts, are jointly exploring affiliation possibilities with four larger hospital systems, including PeaceHealth, Virgina Mason and UW Medical Centers.

On Aug. 23, Island Hospital said their “preliminary analysis” of the AG opinion shows that Island Hospital’s current services are “consistent with the Attorney General’s opinion. Additionally, it has been and remains our goal that any affiliation type transaction that Island Hospital may enter into allows for the continuation of the services Island Hospital currently provides and such affiliation shall fully comply with all applicable legal requirements.”

Pam Hutchins, superintendent of San Juan Public Hospital District 1, said commissioners were studying the opinion and would address its implications at Wednesday’s commission meeting, which begins at 5 p.m. at the Frank Wilson EMS Building.

Town memorial benches on the blockThe Town of Friday

Harbor is looking for buyers for four “memorial bench-es” on the upper sidewalk of Front Street, in front of Friday’s Crab Shack and the Blue Water Grill.

For $850, you can get a bench, a small memorial plaque, installation of the bench, with future mainte-nance on the bench ensured.

Residents and visitors use these memorial benches

—many on Spring Street, some scattered elsewhere—to people-watch, sip a bev-erage, eat ice cream or just to take a break.

Town Administrator Duncan Wilson suggests these bench might be pur-chased by “individuals who wish to leave a lasting memorial for a friend or loved one, honor a mentor or mark a special occasion.”

To get yours, call Wilson at 360-378-2810.

“First come, first served,” he said.

Full payment must be made in advance. Available seating and choice of color is not guaranteed, however.

By Jerry Cornfield, Everett Herald

Those looking for a more transparent government are increasingly rely-

ing on public records to make it happen.

They hope the more documents they obtain the clearer their view of what’s really going on behind closed doors in school districts, city halls and county buildings.

But there are those throughout the pub-lic sector convinced some of these Washingtonians are abusing the Public Records Act.

An alliance of government forces — whose members often are the targets of the records — tried unsuccessfully ear-lier this year to rewrite the act to make it easier to repel requesters whose motives they question. With the help of Republican and Democratic lawmakers, they pushed a bill to make it easier for public agencies to block requests and to limit the time spent compiling records.

Though the bill died in the legislative process, the matter reappeared in the state budget in the form of a provision to spend $25,000 contemplating ways to help gov-ernments deal with records requests they consider harassing.

Lawmakers tapped the Ruckelshaus Center, a joint venture of the University of Washington and Washington State University, to facilitate a conversation between those in the alliance and those who viewed the failed bill as an unprecedented attack on citizens’ right to petition their government. By Dec. 15, the center is sup-posed to put forth recommendations.

The effort is just getting off the ground and folks at the center are tamping down expectations what will emerge. Michael Kern, the center director, said this week the time frame is too tight to pull the parties together for fruitful face-to-face sessions

presuming everybody on all sides is inter-ested in doing so.

The game plan is to speak with 20 to 30 people who’ve been visible and vocal in the legislative conflict then prepare an assess-ment of the situation based on what center staff hears in the interviews.

“We’ll report what the diverse interests say,” he said. “It will not include our opin-ions because we don’t have opinions. We are a neutral third party.”

That’s not quite what Democratic Rep. Dean Takko of Longview envisioned when he helped persuade leaders of his party to put the proviso in the budget. Takko, who sponsored the failed bill, hoped the skilled forces at the center could blaze a trail law-makers could not.

“Myself and quite a number of other people think there’s something we need to address,” said Takko, a former Cowlitz County assessor and Cathlamet City Council member. “I don’t think anybody wants to hide public records. What we’re trying to do is stop frivolous requests.”

Now, he’ll take whatever they provide this winter as a possible starting point for legislation in 2014.

“In all honesty, we probably will not be a whole lot further than when the session ended,” he said. “It’s a big enough issue that we have to take some baby steps forward.”

Another person interested in talking with Kern’s team is Jason Mercier, an analyst with the Washington Policy Center and member of the Washington Coalition for Open Government. The coalition strongly opposed Takko’s bill.

He sees no reason to change the Public Records Act. The problem isn’t the law, he said, but officials’ understanding of it. Many do not realize what tools are already avail-able to them when someone submits one of those so-called burdensome requests.

He suggested lawmakers asked the wrong question with the budget proviso. Leaders in local governments say hefty requests can chew up staff time and taxpayer dollars but there’s no data on how much time and money is wasted to back up their claims, he said. Getting the answer would really inform the discussion, he said.

Sounds like something a public records request, or two, could clear up.

Hey! My art show extended 14 days

Susan Williams called me from San Juan Community Theatre to say that my show of paintings, “Watercolor Wanderings,” could stay up until Sept. 9, two weeks lon-ger than planned.

As reported in the Journal, the purchase price of any painting — all origi-nals — is a direct donation to the theatre.

Island firefightersdeserve our praise

Dear Chief Marler:On behalf of the citizens,

council, and staff of the Town of Friday Harbor, I wanted to take a moment to thank you and the brave men and women that responded to the fire on the Port of Friday Harbor properly this last Saturday.

While the loss of the Downrigger’s restaurant is a tragedy for the owners, employees and their cus-tomers, the prompt action of your crew contained the fire and saved valuable assets of the businesses located in the building that would otherwise have been lost.

As you know, the pro-tection of our residents, businesses and tourists are Friday Harbor’s highest priority as a municipality. The hard, exhausting work undertaken by your crews was exemplary and I am so happy to learn that there were no injuries on the ground. We feel just that

much safer knowing that your organization is there to protect us regardless of the risk or emergency we face.

Please take the time to thank your professional staff and volunteers for their hard work; not just on this evening but throughout the year. We are proud of them and it was very gratifying to see their selfless efforts in the face of dangerous con-ditions.

Town of Friday Harbor

— Editor’s note: Readers online at sanjuanjournal.com offered contrasting reactions to Attorney General Bob Ferguson legal opin-ion about public hospital districts and women’s reproductive ser-vices they are legally bound to provide (see story, pg. 1):

Freedom of faith now under attack

This is such a back hand-ed way of making religious institutions do what they believe is wrong. That is, this is an attack of religious freedom.

Women can kill their babies in many facilities on the mainland. You also need to go to the mainland for orthopedic surgery so don’t accuse Peace Health of “restricting women’s rights”.

Kevin Ranker and oth-ers have cheapened and degraded women in this mission. Long term it will probably keep Peace Health from providing many ser-vices unless they keep the state funding. Shame on you Ranker and Ferguson.

You do not represent those of us who respect and honor the right to produce happy healthy babies. You are not providing good law.

miCheLLe LoftuSSan Juan Island

Stance in defenseof women’s rights

Thank you Sen. Kevin Ranker and Attorney General Bob Ferguson for defending women’s rights and our state constitution.

Our healthcare cannot be controlled by religious beliefs. That is wrong and illegal, especially when they are taking our tax money to do it. I am proud to have you as my senator and attor-ney general. I also want to add that hospitals are not “religious institutions”, they are big business.

By Howard Schonberger

When you get to your tenth decade on this globe, you sometimes have to take a break and won-der if all the high tech things

happening are for the best.That’s how I felt about attending

some of the events that took place on our island this month.

First was a fundraiser for the San Juan Community Theatre, where over 100 donors were overwhelmed by a cham-pagne reception in Gordon Steele’s out-door veranda dedicated to his late wife Beverly (actress, comedienne and beloved friend of all). After all had mingled and enjoyed the fine hors d’ouerves and bub-bly, we were asked to take our seats in the main theatre.

Once settled, we were treated to a marvelous introduc-tion to Georges Bizet’s opera “Carmen” by Suzy Wakefield before curtain time. The largest High Definition screen I have ever seen was behind her.

It is huge and belongs to OUR community theatre! It was donated by the late Dodie Gann’s bequest. We were able to see the Metropolitan Opera HD performance of Carmen. It was the most beautiful photography you could imagine. It was Met Opera with the most elegant sound for two acts before intermission.

You will have many occasions to see what I’m talking about in future operatic and other HD performances.

The packed audience retired to the longest table, filling the entire lobby from end to end, during intermission

and followed by the last two acts after dinner. Gretchen Allison, leader of the world famous Duck Soup Inn cook-ing classes, catered the dinner. It was a great success and well worth the $100 tab.

Another great step forward was the new dormitory at Spring Street International School, where faculty, parents and board members had invited parents and other island-ers to see other plans to match the needs of this fine school.

Spring Street is no competitor of our island schools, but a partner in education and school-year activities. Whether it is athletics, art, music or other paths of student activity, it has proved to be an asset for all.

When you look back at all the uses that donors and citizens have worked together in providing it is startling. Our library is filled with more volunteers than almost any other in the state. Our new hospital is magnificent. Our “County College” is great for adult classes and even aca-demic degrees. Our Mullis Community Senior Center is a showplace. Almost everyone working there is a volunteer.

I know it’s not perfect. And it’s tough not having type-writer ribbons instead of all this internet.

But after all, I got over the loss of the telegraph key, the windup telephone and ice boxes. If they just got food back on all the ferries and keep the Victoria run going, I won’t go on strike.

— Go with the F.L.O.W. (Ferry Lovers Of Washington)

P.S. After writing this column, we rushed to the theatre to hear Coco Montoya, making his fourth appearance in the last 25 years since the Whittier stage opening. He stated it’s still one of his favorite stops. A near full house attended. It was a rousing, boffo performance!

Better because of change, innovation

Howard Schonberger

Columnist

Editorial

Bright lineWe applaud the state Attorney General’s

recent opinion regarding women’s health services.

On Aug. 21, he issued a legal opinion affirming that any public hospital district already providing reproductive services must also give equivalent access to contraceptives and abortion, regardless of religious affiliation.

Women who are served by the more than 50 public hospital districts in the state will continue to have the assurance they can exercise their legal rights in the realm of health care.

This reinforces what voters supported in 1991 when they approved initiative 120: when the state provides benefits, services and information to women intending to carry a pregnancy to term, the state also must provide substantially equivalent benefits, services and information to those women who chose to terminate a pregnancy.

So why did the attorney general issue this opinion now? State Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas, requested an opinion after hearing community members’ concerns regarding San Juan’s new Peace Island Medical Center, which is affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church.

Similar concerns are now being raised on Orcas, after Island Hospital, which leases and operates Orcas Medical Center, announced it could be part-nering with PeaceHealth. Island Hospital, Skagit Valley Hospital and Cascade Valley Hospital, which are all operated by publicly supported hospi-tal districts, are jointly exploring affiliation possi-bilities with four larger hospital systems, including PeaceHealth, Virgina Mason and U of W Medical Centers.

While the attorney general’s opinion is not legal-ly binding, it carries weight in the court and may help settle public unease about the Roman Catholic Church overseeing health care.

As Senator Ranker aptly put it, “We are all proud of our state’s history of respecting an individual’s right to access the health care services that are most appropriate for them and their families. This opinion reaffirms that right.”

We couldn’t agree more.

By Larry Wall

It happens every day. Someone on our island needs emergency medical

assistance. Suppose that you are the one, and flat on your back with chest pain.

You know something is wrong with you. Is it your heart? It is 9 a.m. What will you do?

We should know that calling 911 is the answer to this question. But what happens next? After you call 911, our county sheriff ’s dispatch center answers the call. Depending on your emergency, the dispatcher pages the appropriate agency — EMS, fire department or Sheriff ’s deputies.

In this scenario, the dispatcher calls for EMS (Emergency Medical System) to respond to your address. Within just a few minutes, expert EMS providers are in your living room providing state-of-the-art care. Using a 12-lead electrocar-diogram, the paramedic on scene determines that you are having a heart attack.

In this case a paramedic elects to activate simultaneously Island Air Ambulance (your local airplane ambulance)and the cardiac catheterization lab at St Joseph’s Hospital, in Bellingham. You receive medications and are swiftly transported to the airport in Friday Harbor. At the airport you meet the air medical crew from Island Air Ambulance.

Because of your critical needs, EMS has requested two advanced air medical personnel. They include two critical care nurses, each a certified emergency nurse (CEN) and certified flight nurse (CFRN).

Between the two of them, they have 40 years of EMS experience. They continue the expert care started by the paramedics on scene and attend to you not only during your flight but also all the way to St. Joseph’s Hospital, where you are whisked away to meet the interventional car-diologist and the cardiac catheterization lab team.

At 11:15 a.m. you awake in the recovery room. Your procedure is a success. The cardiology team is able

to correct successfully a three vessel blockage in your heart.The triage nurse comments that you are very fortunate.

“You were almost dead,” she says, as she reviews the chart of your care today.

This success would not have been possible had you wait-ed any longer to contact 911. Since you live on an island, your survival would not have been possible were it not for Island Air Ambulance.

Is this story just make-believe? No, it actually happened last month. Peter Strell of Friday

Harbor experienced this very scenario and was willing to share his story. He notes, “The fast, effective response of EMS/Island Air Ambulance and the folks at St. Joe’s made the difference between my life and death. And it made the difference between a quick recovery and a lingering, impaired survival. I am impressed with the quality of focus, energy and equipment (and good humor) that the EMS team brought to the challenge.”

Island Air Ambulance/San Juan Island EMS and MedEvac is a nationally accredited, critical care air medical program that serves San Juan County 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For more information go to www.islandairems.org.

By Joyce Sobel / Elli Gull

David, Linnea and Avaline Anderson were welcomed “as family” when they began attending toddler parent groups at the San Juan Island Family Resource Center.

They are new to the island, and when they first came to group, they said the group was like “a welcoming com-mittee” through which they became friends with about 10 families pretty rapidly.

Linnea expressed her feelings that parenting can be so isolating, but the groups provide a community building opportunity. “We’ll do PTA with these families,” said David.

Linnea, who has worked in the juvenile justice system for 14 years, knows intimately the importance of parent networks.

“We’re playing for keeps here. Building parent relation-ships at a young age will positively impact the rest of our lives. Parenthood crosses all socioeconomic lines.”

The Family Resource Center offers opportunities for families and children that are important for individuals, families and the entire community.

Children and families are at the heart of United Way of San Juan County’s priorities. United Way provides funding for the San Juan Island Family Resource Center (SJIFRC), so that families and children have access to Family Support services, including the Prenatal-to-Four home visiting program, weekly parent education and support groups, Welcome Home Baby, and other special family activities.

In 2012, more than 2,500 individuals (over 30 percent

of the island’s population) utilized some form of San Juan Island Family Resource Center programming at some time during the year — and numbers continue to increase.

In addition to family sup-port, San Juan Island Family Resource Center provides a wide array of services, including resources and referrals, financial assistance for housing, food, transpor-tation, prescriptions and other basic needs. Programs like the Family Resource Center need and deserve our support. In addition to this

program, United Way of San Juan County funds 27 other vital programs countywide.

Through donations from people in the community, these programs provide resources to our neighbors: families, chil-dren, the elderly and the disabled. Every little bit of support makes a huge difference to these small programs. Ninety-eight percent of donated funds stay local.

For a full list of all 28 United Way of San Juan County funded programs and to contribute, please visit www.unitedway-sanjuancounty.org.

Summer doesn’t officially end for almost another four weeks. But don’t mention that to students of San Juan Island School

District. It could be cruel. For them, the bell tolls tomorrow, as in school bell.

The rhythm of San Juan Island will undergo a seismic shift starting Thursday, as the 755 or so students of the island’s sole public school district will be first to cross the threshold in the annual back-to-school migration. The biggest change is arguably at the elementary school, where the building sports new siding, new windows, a fresh coat of paint and has a new principal at the helm.

Hired in April, former Marysville middle school principal Diane Ball begins her tenure as principal of Friday Harbor elementary with the 2013-14 school year. Ball, a former elementary music teacher in Conway as well, for 18 years, feels right at home.

“It’s about the same size,” she said. Over at the high school, Principal Fred Woods has three new

teachers to introduce to the student body and an enrollment bump of about 25 sophomores to negotiate. Behind the scenes, there’s a new state-mandated teacher evaluation regimen to incorporate, one which Woods describes as “reciprocal accountability,” “labor intensive” and, ultimately, “helpful” for all involved (the elementary and middle schools will also use the same evaluation system).

School officials will also be busy completing designs for the anti-quated tech building, which, thanks to a $1 million state STEM grant, will be remodeled into a facility dedicated to science, technology, engineering and math. The district has two years to complete the project.

Following in the footsteps of their public school counterparts, students at Stillpoint School, a state-certified private K-6 school, and Paideia Classical School begin classes Tuesday, Sept. 3. The next day, Spring Street International School, with an anticipated enrollment of about 80 students, 47 at the high school and 33 in middle school, begins its school year.

Headmaster Louis O’Prussack is thrilled to have back the entire faculty from a year ago, totaling 10 full-time and eight part-time teachers. “That’s golden,” he said.

O’Prussack said four new Advanced Placement courses have been added to the curriculum, that Spring Street will be home to 16 stu-dents from abroad, and that a few more students are expected this year from Lopez and Orcas islands.

Along with last year’s addition of an on-campus dormitory, the school is installing 1,600 square feet of permeable paver stones in what’s known as the “quad area” as both a gathering place and to help better define a “campus feel”.

All in all, it sounds like a pretty busy start to the school year on San Juan Island.

Don’t be fooled by that hint of autumn in the air. The sweet sounds of summer are still alive and well.

From classical to Gershwin, acclaimed cellist Sasha von Dassow will be accompanied by several of the San Juan Islands most accomplished musicians in presenting a “Summer Serenade” concert Saturday, Aug. 31, at San Juan Community Theatre. The show begins at 8 p.m.

A former mainstay in the cello section of the Florida Orchestra and music director and conductor of the North Port Symphony, von Dassow has mesmerized island audi-ences since moving back to the Pacific Northwest after 22 year in Florida. He has been a featured performer in both the Community Theatre’s Melodius Notes over the Harbor series and the summer Night Music Series.

For the Summer Serenade concert, Von Dassow will be joined on the Whittier stage by pianists Grisha Krivchenia and Sonja Zarek, and by clarinetist Sue Collado as well.

The concert will provide von Dassow with the opportunity, as he puts it, “to focus on the best of classical music that I like and also venture toward the American standard songbook.” In addition to pieces by classi-cal composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and more, von Dassow and company will add a more modern element evening’s program with selected tunes by George Gershwin as well.

The theatre’s business part-ner for the concert is Islanders Bank. Tickets are $17 for adults, $8 for student reserved, with $5

student RUSH at the door. The theatre box office is open, Tuesday-Friday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., or purchase tickets online at www.sjctheatre.org.

This is a question that deserves some deep soul searching. � ere is no doubt that our

beloved local Orcas – SRKW’s aka southern resident killer whales – are at risk of extinc-tion in this century if things keep going the way they are. Since the � rst installment of these 2013 Whale Pages less than one month ago, one more local Orca whale has gone missing and will soon be presumed dead. � e SRKW population count will then be down to 81, and we can only hope that there will be a birth or two this autumn/winter for replace-ment. However, the total number of whales in this beleaguered population is not as rel-evant as the number of breeding age whales and the success rate of their reproduction. It takes twelve to twenty or more years for a baby whale to grow up and become a member of the breeding population. Females mature in their teens, but males seem to require longer before contributing to the gene pool – twenty to forty year olds father a disproportionate number of babies. And, then the babies have to survive. � ere are only 24 females and 8 males current-ly in their prime breeding years, and o� spring survival has not been very good in recent years due to a variety of causes. We used to calculate that female SRKW’s would have an average 5.35 viable calves in a 25.2 year reproductive lifespan, but the rate is much less than that now. Additionally, it is sobering to note that all but one of the males born in the 1980’s is now dead. Six surviving females born in that de-cade have produced only seven calves, and six of these are male. What went on then? And, what is still going on?

� e 1980’s saw an overall abundance of Age 3-5 year old Chinook salmon in the inland wa-ters of the Salish Sea (Georgia Strait, Juan de Fuca, Puget Sound) of 3.5 million � sh early in the decade reduced to 1.5 million by the end of the decade. In the recent two decades this number has varied between one million and two million 3-5 year old Chinook salmon es-timated (FRAM model, statistical estimate based upon � sheries and escapements) in the

Salish Sea system. � e SRKW population was recovering from captures during this same time frame, and reached nearly 100 whales by 1995; and, then they rapidly “crashed” to 80 whales by 2001, with the decline driven by mortalities. Chinook abundance modeled for this la� er time period of SRKW decline was 1 to 1.5 million 3-5 year-olds in the Salish Sea. � e food requirement for 100 SRKW’s is at least 600,000 of these � sh per year, so clearly there was opportunity for Human competition for this resource. And, there remains opportu-nity for enlightened Human management of a� ivities a� ecting Chinook abundance, for � sheries, whale recovery and ecosystem re-quirements (nutrients for the forest, etc.).

It is obvious that we should support Chinook salmon recovery in the Salish Sea as much as possible if we would like to see the SRKW popu-lation recover and frequent the waters around our islands. � ese whales will swim a thousand miles to � nd their food, and we know that they

will eat some other � sh to survive, just barely. � is summer should serve as a “wake-up” that our “resident” whales will simply take up resi-dence elsewhere, or keep moving from here to elsewhere in search of a suitable food supply. We can watch “transient” killer whales, and minke whales, humpback whales, etc.; but, the “resi-dent” Orca provide the indicator of the health of the local ecosystem that we all depend upon. Lets keep them around.

By reading to this point, you have begun to answer the question “What shall we do?”: In-form yourself by � nding out what is going on in with issues that a� ect the health of our local ecosystem. Hint: coal mining and transport, CO2 emissions and climate change, persistent organic pollutants (POP’s), and marine devel-opment are among the issues. � en, do what you can at home and in your daily life to tread lightly on what you call your environment.

– Ken Balcomb, Director of Center For Whale Research

What shall we do for recovery of our local Orca?
