An uptick in harbor porpoise strandings has local biologists scratching their heads, looking for clues and wary that mid-May’s unusually high death toll may signal something other than the natural die-off of a population on the rise.
Although, that just might be the case. “We’ve also heard there’s been an increase in the
number of strandings in the (British Columbia) area,” said The Whale Museum’s Jennifer Olsen, coordinator of the San Juan County Marine Mammal Stranding Network. “But we’re not sure of what the total is or exactly where they were found. We didn’t
have a single stranding a year ago in May.” A total of eight harbor porpoise carcasses were
recovered from beaches on the westside of San Juan

Although the dust has yet to set-tle over the now-infamous water-front clearcut at the former Mar Vista Resort, the property’s new owners are in pursuit of a dock.
Not just any dock, but a 271-footer (10 yards shy of the length of a football field) that can accommodate up to six boats, 20-30 feet in length, and a stone’s throw from San Juan Island’s False Bay.
The owners, Dave and Nancy Honeywell, intend to develop a “family compound” with six homes on the 30-acre parcel by building a new residence and reha-bilitating and remodeling some of the former resort cabins and care-taker house, according to Francine Shaw of the Friday Harbor-based Law Office of Stephanie O’Day.
Shaw, who is spearheading the dock proposal and other land-use issues on behalf of the Honeywells, said local regulations allow each of the those six waterfront homes access to a dock, but that the prop-erty may have to be sub-divided into separate parcels for the dock, and for the remodel and construc-tion projects, to proceed.

After numerous complaints about Wave2Go ticket theft, Washington State Ferries has changed its policies.
Beginning June 15, ticket hold-ers will no longer be able to use the 18-digit ticket number, but must have their ticket in-hand.
“It’s a relatively easy fix for us,” said Marta Coursey, WSF director of communications.
According to Coursey, WSF received about a half a dozen complaints from Orcas Islanders who claimed that their Wave2Go

NW Sky Ferry acquires SJ Airlines assets
Colleen Smith Armstrong
Change is in the air. Northwest Sky Ferry and San Juan Airlines have merged
flight operations and in May became the new San Juan Airlines. The two airlines have a long history of serving the San Juan Islands and Pacific Northwest.
Since taking over Northwest Sky Ferry in 2009, own-ers Skip and Katie Jansen set course to adopt an effective "customer-first" policy inspired by their own experience with the airline long before they took over.
“This acquisition will keenly position us to expand our flight schedule, accommodate larger parties, and offer more destinations to better serve our customers’ needs,” Northwest Sky Ferry President Skip Jansen said.
San Juan Airlines offers daily scheduled, charter and scenic flights serving the San Juan Islands, Bellingham, Anacortes, Port Angeles, Point Roberts, Seattle, British Columbia and beyond.
In Bellingham, the new San Juan Airlines will be flying out of the former Northwest Sky Ferry facility on Mitchell Way. In Anacortes, Friday Harbor and in Eastsound, the airline will continue using the facilities that belonged to the former incarnation of San Juan Airlines. Friday Harbor and Eastsound will be equipped with courtesy telephones avail-able to connect directly to the airline's customer service agents.
"We remain committed to providing each of our guests with safe, simple and exceptional air service," San Juan Airlines co-owner Katie Jansen said.

Here’s a chance to learn more about the impacts of climate change through a speaker series scheduled June through September, in venues in Friday Harbor, as well as on Orcas and Lopez islands.
The Climate Action Imperative: Understanding Impacts & Making Choices will fea-ture eight experts on the topic—from oceanographers to botanists, biologists to meteorologists. The series offers a cur-rent look at climate change and actions of individuals, as well as by the state and nation, according to Ron Zee of the Madrona Institute, series co-sponsor.
Lee Taylor, superintendent of San Juan Island National Historical Park, also a series co-sponsor, said National Parks are expe-riencing dramatic changes in the ecosystem of various parks.
“The impacts of climate change on national parks are immediate and real—rising sea level, ocean acidification, and increased wildfire to name just a few,” Taylor said. “We need to increase our resilience to these changes here in the Islands and beyond.”
All talks are free and scheduled for 7 p.m. at different venues (see accompanying list); call 360-378-2240, ext. 2227 or 2228 for information. A concluding Sept. 10 session will feature state Sen. Kevin Ranker, a leading legislative advocate for climate action, along with special guests.
Understanding Impacts and Making ChoicesThe series co-sponsors reflect the multiple fronts address-
ing climate change in the San Juan Islands: San Juan Island National Historical Park, Madrona Institute, San Juan Islands Conservation District, The League of Women Voters of the San Juans, San Juan Island Library, San Juan Nature Institute, San Juan County Marine Resources Committee, Northwest
Straits Foundation, Stewardship Network of the San Juan Islands, Washington State University Extension Service and the Agricultural Resources Committee of the San Juan Islands.
After each talk, discussion will be encouraged to think global and act local, identifying choices relevant to the islands’ c o m m u -nity.
Dr. Richard Hebda, a botanist at the University of Victoria School of Earth and Ocean Sciences and curator of botany and earth history at the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria, will kick off the series June 18, at Brickworks, beginning at 7 p.m., in a talk entitled “Impact on Forests.”

passes were stolen. Only about 1 percent of state-wide ferry users purchase multi-use Wave2Go passes, but 5 to 10 percent of San Juan Island ferry travelers use the passes.
Orcas Islander Peter Bohr purchased a five-ride ferry pass this spring and after using it only once, he was surprised when a ferry work-er at the Anacortes terminal said he had zero uses left.
Now Bohr is convinced that “thieves have breached the Washington State Ferries’ computer ticket system and are stealing unused rides.”
Bohr said that his pass and purchase receipt had never been out of his posses-sion, therefore no one could
have copied his information and that someone must be infiltrating the ticket system.
According to WSF, their systems were not causing the problem.
“We can say with cer-tainty that WSF’s credit card and IT systems have not been breached,” said Coursey.
She would not speak to WSF security measures
because she said it could help “someone abuse the system.”
Coursey did say that WSF does not have the ability to verify a specific person abusing the system, which is why its policy changed to help ensure passes would not be stolen.
“There could be a 100 ways to get the ticket num-ber,” Coursey added.

sub-divide, but that hasn’t been decided yet,” Shaw said. “That’s not necessarily what the Honeywells want to do, but we’re going to follow the path of least resistance.”
In response to the dock application, San Juan County’s Community Development and Planning Department deter-mined the dock poses no significant adverse impact to the environment, issuing a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) following its review of the State Environmental Policy Act. Deadline for comment on the SEPA determina-tion is June 4; deadline for comment on the dock proposal is June 25. The proposal is slated to go before the county hearing examiner Aug. 11.
The dock would be located in a so-called “pocket beach,” roughly 50-100 feet beyond the University of Washington’s biological preserve at False Bay, Shaw said.
A proposal to build a “joint-use, community dock” is the latest eyebrow-raiser surrounding the new owners of the former westside resort, one of the larger contiguous waterfront properties on the westside of San Juan Island. New docks are rare on the island’s westside, seasonal home and feeding grounds of the Southern Resident killer whales,
listed as endangered under federal law. The Honeywells, formerly of Virginia and winners of a
nine-figure Powerball jackpot in February 2013, purchased the property a little over a year ago for $6 million under an incorporated, Virginia-based entity known as Orca Dreams.
In early February, San Juan County issued a “notice of violation” after nearly two acres of waterfront at the prop-erty were denuded of trees and vegetation in late December without proper permits. The county fined David Honeywell $1,000 and Allen Engle of Solid Ground, whose contract-ing business oversaw removal of vegetation, $2,000 for the violation; the fines have reportedly been paid.
The county, along with the state Department of Ecology, also required that a restoration plan be prepared for the denuded area and submitted for approval of both agencies. That plan is still in the works, according to Bob Fritzen of Ecology, which sent Orca Dreams a warning of its own for violating the state Water Pollution Control Act.
The restoration plan’s due date has been pushed back until August by the county, Fritzen said.
“We were hoping they would’ve gotten more in already,” he said. “My understanding is that they said they needed more time to do it right.”
Fritzen said that DOE has made a biologist available to assist in development of the restoration plan. He also noted, following a recent site-visit to the Orca Dreams property, there are remnants of a prior dock at the location of the would-be new one. Ecology tracks and catalogs dock per-mits but rarely weighs in unless it requires a “variance” in local rules or “conditions” are required for approval.
Shaw, who accompanied Fritzen on the site-visit, said those monitoring the denuded area have noted a 30 percent increase in the number of golden paintbrush plants since the previous vegetation was removed. Golden paintbrush is considered threatened by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
Shaw said that the dock’s design consists of materials that would allow about 70 percent of sunlight to pass through the structure to the seafloor below. It would be removed during winter months to protect it from exposure to the harsh weather, then reinstalled in late May and remain in place until late October, she said.
The application for the dock was submitted March 28, several days before the update of the county critical areas ordinance went into effect.

Like any well-seasoned attorney, Bob Ferguson knows how to do his homework, and how to be prepared.
So, when the questions came from all angles during a recent visit with the sixth-grade class at Friday Harbor Elementary School, Washington state’s top attorney didn’t miss a beat. Not that the students weren’t prepared as well. They tossed him more than a few curve balls.
“What was your dream job as a sixth grader,” one of the boys asked.
Turns out that the state attorney general, a two-time Washington state chess cham-pion, had a different type of court in mind years ago.
“I wanted to be the point-guard for the Sonics,” Ferguson replied, without a moment’s hesitation, generally a good quality if you’re play-ing point in the NBA. “But that didn’t work out.”
The students also learned a bit about consumer pro-tection and the infamous McCleary vs. Washington case (public school funding by the state), while Ferguson got the inside scoop on field research involving a soft-bellied mol-lusk called the nudibranch.
Friday Harbor Elementary wasn’t the only stop on Ferguson’s tour of San Juan Island. The state’s top legal-eagle, who oversees the largest law office in Washington, with 525 lawyers working on 20,000 or more legal matters on any given day, dropped by the county courthouse to chat with local law enforcement officials. (To read this article in its entirety, see sanjuanjournal.com, or next week’s edition of the Journal).
Island between May 19 and May 29. All are similar in length, 4-6 feet, suggest-ing they were adults, and a series of necropsies are slat-ed to be conducted on three bodies that were not picked apart by scavengers, begin-ning June 5, Olsen said. The term “stranding” applies to dead animals and to live ones that for some reason are stranded on a beach or rocks and cannot get back into the water.
Although it stands as the second-highest stranding total in the month of May, since 2006, eight is not necessarily cause for alarm, not by itself (12 strand-ings were recorded in May 2012, the highest total for the month in the last eight years).
In fact, according to Dr. Joe Gaydos of the Orcas Island-based SeaDoc Society, spring is the time of year when harbor porpoise typically migrate en masse from the mouth of Juan de Fuca Strait into the heart of
the Salish Sea and strand-ings are not uncommon at that time. Still, Gaydos, who will perform the early June necropsies, said the spate of strandings warrant exam-ination to find out if an infectious disease or virus, such as pneumonia, may be responsible or contributed to the deaths.
“Right now we really don’t know what’s going on,” he said.
The smallest of marine mammals, the harbor por-poise generally stays close to coastal waters or river estuaries, tend to be solitary foragers and feed primar-ily on small schooling fish, such as herring, pollock, hake, as well as squid and other cephalopods. Adults typically measure 4-6 feet in length, average between 135-170 pounds (females tend to be heavier) and have an average lifespan of about 24 years.
The harbor porpoise shares the name but is an entirely different species than the somewhat larger and vastly heavier harbor seal, a pinniped, a far more abundant animal world-
wide, and common as well in the Salish Sea.
However, the population of harbor porpoise appears to be on the rise in greater Puget Sound and the Salish Sea.
In fact, according to Gaydos, the cause of an exceptionally large number of harbor porpoise strand-ings and deaths in 2006 turned out to be largely the result of an increase in the overall population. Whether due to age, competition or limited food supply, death is ever-present in the natu-ral world and casualties can tend to spike in step with an increase in population, he said.
“It wasn’t that they were
dying from a disease” he said. “The harbor porpoise population was just increas-ing.”
To report a stranding, call the Marine Mammal Stranding Network Hotline, 1-800-562-8832.

CAO? Does more harm than good
I wonder if the critical areas ordinance (CAO) group has attempted to measure the economic impact they are going to have?
Visually improving the shoreline by increasing set-backs is going to look nice to boaters, but it’s going to seriously impact the trades that otherwise would have been hired to make improvements without all the red tape.
If you want a one-foot bigger kitchen going toward the water—you have to move the whole house!
And what about “rea-sonable exemptions?” How does a prospective buyer know if one will be granted?
This increases the risk to any prospective buyer, and you probably need a lawyer. Heck, you need a lawyer just to read the CAO document.
And what about the loss of tax revenue from the property improvements that won’t happen? (If more peo-ple pay more property taxes we can enjoy better schools and services).
And how about the loss of construction material purchases from local sup-pliers and the lost sales tax revenue?
It’s just plain naive to think there won’t be lost business and lost real estate sales because of shoreline restrictions in the CAO.
David Dehlendorf in his recent diatribe slamming the CSA, (“Holes in cam-paign of misinformation,” May 21, pg. 7) states that he
has never heard of a prop-erty owner, or prospective owner, who was affected.
Well, “Here I Am.” I have a property in mind
that I would purchase in a heartbeat if I knew I could make certain improvements without being subject to a complicated set of rules having an unknown out-come.
The property I have in mind would require an exemption and that stops me right there. I’m just guessing here, but I bet that none of the CAO members has waterfront property.
I care about the envi-ronment, and I also care about people. I don’t like it when we become a political, rule-driven society ignoring common sense.
I am not a member of the Common Sense Alliance (CSA) and I don’t believe the CAO is going to make life or the environment any better as a whole.
What might help is a comprehensive approach to restricting and/or elimi-nating the chemicals we add to the watershed. I can’t believe we are talk-ing about setbacks while we allow Roundup and other really pervasive substances to be scattered, poured and dumped all over.

Mar Vista marina? Outraged by it all
Following is a copy of a plea to the permit depart-ment to reject the horren-dous application for the new Mar Vista owners to be able to build a marina on the west side of San Juan Island.
Please help to make the residents of the island aware
of this and ask all to con-tact the local permit depart-ment. Thank you.
To Whom It May Concern:We have been visiting San
Juan Island regularly since 2000, own a houseboat at Warbass Way Marina near the town of Friday Harbor and have been frequent guests at Mar Vista Resort... a definite “jewel” on the island.
At first we were very sad about the sale of the prop-erty, and then hopeful when the new owners were artists.
Our first shock came when they clearcut a vital portion of their property that had an impact on the local flora and fauna. Worse still is the idea that they want to establish a marina at the same location.
That is outrageous. It would have a severe impact on the natural shoreline and it is a totally inappropriate development at that loca-tion.
Please, please do not allow the owners to have such a devastating effect on the west side of San Juan Island.

An ally in battle against jet noise
As is often the case, the people who speak loudest about an issue aren’t the ones who live with it or experience it.
Currently the Fiscal Year 2015 President’s Budget Request does not include funding for continued production of EA-18G Growlers, an aircraft manu-factured by Boeing.
Over 25,000 electronic letters have been sent to Congress to ask for addi-
tional production of the Growler to the fiscal year 2015 budget from a link on Boeing’s website, fa-18.com/contact-congress/?gclid=CPTn5MiFor4CFQqIfgodQHAAnA.
San Juan County’s popu-lation is only 15,800. Since we are the ones that live with the noise, not the 25,000 folks from Boeing’s website, it is incumbent upon us to point this out.
When the Growlers flew over young children playing T-ball at a park on Whidbey Island, the game was can-celled because the children fell to the ground holding their ears.
I concur with the 5-year-old who was there holding his ears and said, “Mommy, my ears are breaking.”
I too have had to plug my ears at 9:40 at night on Lopez because the noise was excruciating.
Remember to record Growler noise disturbanc-es to the county website: http://sjcgis.org/aircraft-
noise-reporting/. Do not underestimate the
value of your comments. RHEA MILLER

A boiling frog and the Bill of Rights
There is an apparent widespread lack of con-cern, much less resistance, to the abuses to the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution by the administrations of former President George W. Bush and the current President Barak Obama.
The lack of concern reminds us of the anecdote of the boiling frog. The premise is that if a frog is placed in boiling water, the frog will jump out, but if placed in cold water that is heated slowly, the frog will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death.
Section 1021 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)
of 2012 exemplifies the complicity of all three branches of the federal gov-ernment in the slow erosion of the Bill of Rights.
President Obama signed the annual NDAA on Dec. 31, 2011, after passage by both houses of congress and with the yes votes of our senators Cantwell and Murray, and representative Larsen.
Section 1021 of the NDAA was, and is, widely interpreted to allow the mil-itary to detain United States citizens indefinitely with-out charge or trial on mere suspicions of ties to terror-ism. The provision remains in the NDAA of 2013 and 2014.
In response to the law-suit filed by journal-ist Christopher Hedges and others, U.S. District Judge Katherine B. Forrest ruled on May 16, 2012, that NDAA Section 1021 was unconstitutional, vio-lating both the plaintiffs’

Editorial
Open letter to the Class of 2014
Graduation is always the most bittersweet of times. No doubt many tears will have been shed even before the lights go out,
the room grows dark and the very first slide show marking the journey from childhood to graduate lights up the screen
But now, here you are, ready to don cap and gown and get that well-deserved diploma. Sure, the world poses different challenges for you than it did for us on our graduation day. But you are ready. And your community has confidence in you.
We hope that the days in the classroom and the hours outside of it, that the ups and downs of athletic competition and the toil of summer and after-school employment, and that the cama-raderie you’ve developed with your classmates, teachers, advisors and mentors along the way, will serve you well.
It can be a challenge out there, in the real world, far from home, or, even close by, for that matter. Have confidence. We’ve seen you at your best and at your not so best, and know you’re capable.
Even though eyes may tear as you prepare to leave, we eagerly anticipate news of the heights you will scale, the goals you will achieve, the changes you will bring to the communities you will touch.
Congratulations on reaching this milestone in your life. Best of luck, Class of 2014.

Reporter’s Notebook
Hello digital, so long sheriff’s log?
By Scott RasmussenJournal editor
Periodic trips to the Sheriff ’s office had been one of my many tasks for the better part of the past 14 years. There, I would pull up a chair and hunker down in
the back room and sift through the stack of so-called “inci-dent reports.”
I would jot down relevant information of those that I determined to be “newsworthy” and head back to the Journal to piece together the next installment of the San Juan County Sheriff ’s Log.
I got to chit-chat with many of our dispatchers and depu-ties, and gain a better understanding of the department’s inner-workings.
Readers may recall a Log entry would go something like this:July 27: A San Juan Island man claims the driver of a
Dodge Durango threatened him with a knife during a con-frontation over an exit-only sign at a Friday Harbor home remodel center. The 33-year-old, working security outside the center’s parking lot at the time, claims the driver entered the parking lot via its exit, pulled out a knife, exited through the entrance, and then sped away.
n n n
From fender-benders to felony assault, that stack of reports worked as a window into some of the less attractive, more unsettling, sometimes bizarre, occurrences that take place in this paradise. It chronicled everything from dog bites, DUIs, shoplifting, runaways, welfare checks, trespass-ing, suspicious activity, discovery of human remains and a whole lot more.
It’s no surprise that the sheriff ’s log, long before I inher-ited it, had been one of the newspaper’s most popular fea-tures. It proved to be so on Journal, Sounder (Orcas) and
Weekly (Lopez) websites as well.
But there’s no real payoff in such trips to the sheriff ’s office any longer.
The department is well on its way to going “paperless” with its incident reports. The electronic format does not convert into something decipherable for purpose of publication, even if a report were printed out, as much of the detail I relied upon has been lost in translation.
To its credit, the depart-ment does send out the occasional press release, the sheriff and undersheriff do field reporters’ questions and provide answers within the boundaries they believe apply to any given case, and Undersheriff Bruce Distler has recently floated several suggestions in an attempt to make available the kind of information that had previously been right at one’s fingertips.
Now, you might think that having one less task would be a relief. Not so.
Popularity notwithstanding, the sheriff ’s log also offered a unique, ground floor look at what our local law enforce-ment and public safety officials encounter day-in and day-out. It provided a sense of commonality, as well, as it cataloged incidents from all across the county. And, per-haps most importantly, it was a reminder that trouble can arise out of the blue, even in paradise, and that things don’t always go according to plan.
So, it would seem that the sheriff ’s log is now a relic of a bygone era, like the Pony Express, a casualty of progress, rendered obsolete, or, in this case, dislodged and displaced by the much sought-after efficiencies of the digital age.
That’s a shame.

Guest Column
By Troy LautenbachSpecial to the Journal
With enthusiasm and high hopes, my brother Torrey and I, and our entire
Lautenbach Industries team, greet San Juan islanders as we assume responsibil-ity for operating and improving the San Juan Island solid waste transfer station.
The operating agreement with San Juan County has been signed, we take the keys to the site on Sutton Road on June 1 and we’ll be open for business at 10 a.m., June 6.
For now, we will continue the pres-ent 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. operating hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. As we bring the facility up to environ-mental standards and build a new tipping floor, we’ll make changes to reduce customer waiting times, make the facilities more user-friendly and attract larger-volume contractor and manufacturer accounts to the station. More changes will be made over the coming months.
Most fees will not change: mixed
solid waste will stay at $294 per ton, co-mingled recycling will stay at $142 per ton or $3 per can, regular appli-ances will stay at $22 per items ($56 for refrigerated appliances), and oil will continue to be free, at least for now.
The only increase: the current $12 minimum fee will be raised to $16.72 plus tax. This modest increase will reduce traffic to the site, shortening wait times entering and leaving the site. We’ll continue helping customers who may have difficulty with heavy loads.
We will offer our demolition and construction recycling services coun-ty-wide, and take an active role to invigorate recycling, re-use and zero-waste goals in the whole county.
With completion of the tipping floor, our contract to take the Town of Friday Harbor’s garbage service waste will commence. The increased cash flow will enable us to offer addi-tional services, possibly including col-lecting and transporting landscaping and agricultural plant material to the mainland for mulching and returning to the islands.
Both the public and local government look to us for more hours and services, and we intend to deliver – mindful of competitive and regulatory restraints and the demands of efficient and eco-nomically sustainable operations.
The past decade was unfortunately marked by proposals for solid waste handling and disposal that have not worked, by purchases of property and plans for improvements that came to nothing.
We’ve been in the business of waste handling, transport and disposal for almost 25 years. Our success in a high-ly competitive business is, we think, evidence of hard work and innovative thinking. We’ve learned from our mis-takes and our successes – and, most importantly, we have listened to our customers. And we will continue to listen.
Two years ago we saw an opportu-nity to extend our reach by operat-ing a full-scale transfer and collection station for recycling and garbage. We decided to compete to win that oppor-tunity.
We also learned from and respected the commitment and innovation that Lopez and Orcas islanders exhibited in planning and putting together their

own proposals to operate local solid waste transfer facilities. We pledge to work with Lopezians and Orcasites to help them achieve their recycling, reuse and zero-waste goals.
We put together a comprehensive professional plan to operate the San Juan transfer station, and the county’s selection committee chose us as the outfit they wanted to negotiate with.
Our planning required out-of-the-box thinking by every-one. It took two years of rigorous three-party negotiations to reach a fair and practical result. We are confident the solution reached by Lautenbach, the county and the town is
the right solution for San Juan Island. With your help, we’ll make it work.
In the coming weeks, we will engage the community in a variety of ways, including community roundtables in Friday Harbor, presentations at meetings of non-profits and business organizations, and, sometime later this summer, a “Grand Opening Party” at the Sutton Road facility.
Please join us in making the most of this great opportu-nity to improve our community.

Judge Forrest wrote, “Courts must safeguard core constitutional rights.”
The Obama administra-tion appealed this decision. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Judge Forrest’s permanent injunction July 17, 2013, thereby reinstating the indefinite detention pow-ers of the NDAA, not on the merits of the case, but because the plaintiffs lacked legal standing.
Appealed to the Supreme Court, the suit ended on April 30, 2014, when the court denied hearing the case, without comment.
In a statement about the end result, plaintiff Tangerine Bolen wrote, “If the outcome of this law-suit does not cement the fact that the courts will not defend the Constitution, nor our rights with it, there is little more evidence to be presented.”

Ignorance holds health hostage
Now that two incuba-tion cycles of measles have passed, we can, at least for now, breathe a collective sigh of relief.
All who worked so hard and long to limit the spread
of disease are to be heartily praised.
However, the overseas sources of the virus remain active, are just a plane ride away, and we continue to play “whack-a-mole” with measles all around the con-tinent.
I am reminded of the last paragraph of Albert Camus’ “The Plague”:
“And, indeed, as he lis-tened to the cries of joy ris-ing from the town, Rieux remembered that such joy is always imperiled.
He knew what those jubi-lant crowds did not know but could have learned from books: that the plague bacil-lus never dies or disappears for good; that it can lie dor-mant for years and years in furniture and linen chests; that it bides its time in bed-rooms, cellars, trunks, and bookshelves; and that per-haps the day would come when, for the bane and the enlightening of men, it would rouse up its rats again and send them forth to die in a happy city.”
Camus employed a ter-rible illness as a metaphor for fascism. For us, it is the duality of microbial infec-tion and of the fascism of ignorance. The struggle goes on…

If you hear music drifting across the harbor on the evening of June 14, no need to check your hearing.
You’re catching the melodious stylings of two of Washington’s best musical jazz acts, all for a good cause… so wouldn’t it be better to
catch them up close?The 14th annual “Jazz at the
Labs” is Saturday, June 14, at the Friday Harbor Laboratories, beginning at 6 p.m., with din-ner in the Labs low-key yet his-toric dining hall. The San Juan Jazz Quintet will provide the soundtrack to the meal. They’ve been bringing the best of swing, bebop, standards and Latin jazz, along with delightful originals, to entertain islanders for more than 20 years. As an added
treat, none other than Dennis the Labs’ former direc-tor, Dennis Willows, will be keeping the beat on percussions.
After dinner, Seattle’s fabulous Jazz Coalescence will swing into the spotlight, putting its unique, edgy spin on an array of jazz classics. KPLU Jazz talk show hosts Dick Stein and Jim Wilkey are also on tap to help with the festivities.
And, it's all for a most excellent, educational cause. This enjoyable evening is first and foremost a benefit for Friday
Harbor Labs K-12 Science Outreach Program. Founded in 2011, it works to partner scientists and researchers with K-12 classrooms to offer hands-on science experience to students on the island. The pro-gram aims to make sure that students develop a keen environmental awareness, especially given how fortunate they are to grow up sur-rounded by one of the country’s most active and interesting marine ecosystems.
“The whole idea of Jazz at the Labs is to have an evening of good friends, music and food to cel-ebrate in a way to help students in island schools catch the ‘sci-ence bug’, Willows said. “The San Juan
Jazz Quintet has been opening at the labs for some of the best Pacific Northwest jazzers for about 10 years. As a result, hundreds of kids have had opportunities to dive into real science with both hands. What’s not to like about that?”
Well said. The students involved in the
outreach program have an oppor-tunity to experiment under the watchful eye of real scientists, via a variety of creative projects that are sure to make more of an impact than reading facts from a textbook.
“The 8th grade works every year with two scientists from the labs to review the scientific process by looking at marine critters and design-ing a data-gathering lab,” Friday Harbor Middle School teacher Jenny Wilson said. “They go with the scientists on a daylong experiment to gather the data.”
Wilson, among other things, runs the “Roots and Shoots” program at the middle school, and said that the labs offered to connect one group studying starfish with scien-tists to help guide the research. The students are able to use an under-water camera, combining modern technology with classic study tech-niques. The current massive die-off of starfish up and down the Pacific Coast gives a timely impact to their project.
You can help support these enter-prising students and at the same time have some fun by making reserva-tions for Jazz at the Labs. For more information or to reserve your spot, call the labs at 378-2165 ext. 0.

Friday Harbor’s middle school ROV team (that’s ROV, as in remotely operated vehicle) finished first among 40 other Pacific Northwest teams competing at an annual design and demonstration event May 10 in Federal Way, besting its third-place finish from a year ago.
To be ready for the competition, held at the Weyerhauser Pool, middle schoolers Josiah Wegemer, Zack Fincher, Jacob Kaden and Matthew McElrith designed, assembled and
fine-tuned their own ROV. Along with the other competitors, they then used their ROV to mimic the exploration of a ship-wreck.
Friday Harbor’s high school team com-peted at the event as well.
The middle school team was assisted by mid-dle school ROV advisor Jenny Wilson, retired engineer Bob Tauscher and Molly Roberts of the U of W Labs, and drew support as well from Paul Hopkins of San Juan Island Fitness Center, who made the club’s pool available for practice.
The S a n Juan Public Schools Foundation also provides financial support for the ROV program.

Travel back in time with the University of Washington’s Dr. Julie Stein and find out what life was really like for the very first set-tlers on the westside of San Juan Island… we’re talking like 8,000 years ago.
Stein, director of the Burke Museum, opens a window into the island’s past to dis-cuss archaeological investigations of ancient cultures in the area of American Camp and South Beach as part of a guided walk, Saturday, June 7, at 10 a.m.
The walk traverses portion of the prairie above the beach; comfortable yet sturdy shoes are recommended.
Stein will focus on ancient life at South Beach, which includ-ed hunting, gathering, camping and several forms of fishing, as well as the cultivation of camas and other root foods. She will also spend some time talking about middens, or trash mounds, located in several areas along the beach, which holds
many clues to the life and activities of the islands first inhabitants, and which have remained remarkably in tact over time.
According to Stein, the middens reveal a picture of life at American Camp that goes back as far as 8,000 years.
The guided walk and presentation by Stein are among 13 “special” and 11 weekly programs presented this year by San Juan Island National Historical Park.
For more information about Parks pro-grams visit, www.nps.gov/sajh.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves
NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery 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 360-902- 1857.

Talbott steps down, district seeks candidates
San Juan Island hospital district Commissioner Keri Talbott stepped down from her elected position May 28.
Talbott, who’s tenure as hospital commissioner spanned seven years, cited family reasons for her res-ignation. Her husband, Jeremy, an EMT and former assistant harbormaster at the Port of Friday Harbor, will soon leave for Alaska to be harbormaster for the city of Valdez.
Keri Talbott, A customer service clerk for the Town of
Friday Harbor, will remain on San Juan until she and the couple’s two young daughters depart for Alaska.
Talbott’s elected position expires in 2017. The hospi-tal district will accept letter of interest, with qualifica-tions, to fill the unexpired term; deadline is June 20. The commission anticipates questioning candidates and voting on a replacement when it meets June 25.
Schlund picked to manage San Juans State Parks
The newly created San Juan State Parks Area also has a newly appointed
manager. Ted Schlund, a 13-year
state parks veteran, will oversee Moran, Obstruction Pass and Spencer Spit state parks, as well as San Juan Marine North and South. Schlund, a 14-year San Juan County resident, was for-merly manager of the San Juan Marine Area.
The appointment by the state Parks and Recreation Commission became May 16, and Schlund will be headquartered at Orcas Island’s Moran State Park.
Meeker claims 3rd place at State
Friday Harbor’s Kendra Meeker saved her best for last, claiming third place in the two-day 1A state golf tournament at Lake Spanaway Golf Club in Tacoma.
In her fourth consecutive appearance at the 1A golf championship, and the final of her prep career, Meeker knocked five strokes off her opening round of 82 to score a 77 on the second day of the competition. She
tallied a par-36 on the front nine on Day 2 to climb back into the hunt for the tour-nament crown, but fell off the pace on the back nine, struggling on three early holes, and then found her groove to shoot par on five of the last six holes.
Meeker, a Friday Harbor High School senior, fin-ished one stroke ahead of regional rival and fourth-place finisher Hanna Roh of Kings High School, and just six strokes off the pace of 2014 Division 1A champion Lauryn Keating.
“This experience will pay great dividends as she moves on to her golf career at Bellevue College,” coach Jack Rice said.
