Islands' Weekly, August 05, 2014

Journal staff reportA decision by Washington State Ferries to shutdown the

international sailing for two days to remedy disruptions in ferry service near Seattle drew a pointed and swift rebuke from state Sen. Kevin Ranker.

The state ferry system canceled the Thursday and the Friday sailing between Anacortes and Sidney, British Columbia to shift the boat on the international run to the Edmonds-Kingston route, which earlier in the week saw one of its two vessels transferred to Seattle-Bainbridge Island route following a power failure Tuesday onboard the Tacoma, a Mark II Jumbo class ferry.

Ranker, D-Orcas Island, noted that the decision to shift of boats will give the Edmonds-Kingston route two boats and leave the San Juans international run, which docks twice each day in Friday Harbor, with none.

“Historically, when a ferry is down elsewhere in the sys-tem, replacement ferries have come from the San Juan route,” Ranker, D-Orcas Island said. “During the winter, while there is an impact, I have supported these decisions, because we have lower ridership and can – for the most part – absorb the impact. In the summer however, this is not the case. To simply end the Sidney run during an extremely busy and economi-cally lucrative part of the year is, quite frankly, irresponsible.”

The two-day cancelation of the international run comes at the height of tourist season in the San Juans and on the eve of the city of Anacortes’ widely popular and commercially significant 53rd annual Arts Festival, Ranker added.

“I have nothing but sympathy for our fellow ferry com-muters south of us; we know all too well the frustration,

negative economic impact and wasted time that comes from delayed ferry service,” he said. ““There are major differenc-es, however, that make this decision by senior administra-

Journal staff reportState officials cited negli-

gence as a factor in impos-ing a $112,500 fine against an Anacortes-based seafood company, whose fishing

boat accidentally sank in Bellingham Channel, near Guemes Island, a year ago in July.

Following investiga-tion of the sinking of the

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

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

When the Clam Digger encountered high waves after it left Anacortes on July 10, began taking on water, and eventually sank. The company immedi-ately initiated appropriate response protocols, accord-

ing to Ecology, and six days later divers recovered the boat. However, during the recovery as much as 315 gallons of oil spilled.

The 59-foot boat report-edly was carrying 2,700 to 3,000 gallons of diesel fuel at the time it sank.

Bellingham Channel, located just north of Anacortes, between Guemes and Cypress islands, is home to seagrass and kelp. Pink and Chinook salmon were present in the area at the time of the spill, as were marbled murrelets, listed as threatened by the state and federal government.

Ecology’s investigators found uncovered, open or leaky deck hatches on the Clam Digger, which com-promised its ability to stay watertight. In addition,

Our Sweet Poodle Boy died in my arms at midnight of the 17th with his family by his side. He gave me a little kiss, laid his head down and died. He fought so hard to live right to that point, but you can’t live with out working lungs.

Though Bamm-Bamm was tiny, he had a huge soul, loved people and all he lived for was to bring joy and happiness to everyone.

We thank everyone who knew him, stopped to pet him on our many walks in the village and elsewhere or just smiled at him as he smiled at you. You helped to make his life a happy one, full of love and joy.

Robert and Vivian Burt were invited to dinner at the home of a Lopez acquain-tance. Looking over their field, Robert commented, “I first ploughed that when I was twelve…You got a cou-ple damp spots over there you gotta watch.” 68 years later, even jokingly, Robert still applies himself to main-taining the island the way it deserves.

Given Bur t Road, Robert’s deep Lopez roots are no surprise. His great-aunt Isabelle Bloor’s origi-nal deed stretched from Hoedemakers’ Farm to Davis Point. Grandfather John Burt visited from Iowa in 1902 to help build Center and Mud Bay schools, and in 1906, when John’s wife died, he returned with his five children. As Robert’s dad, Ray, grew up, farm-ing provided only a partial living, so he took off for Alaska most summers to buy fish and repair canning machinery. Robert seems to have inherited all the “fixit” genes of his fore-bears.

Youngest of four, Robert was delivered by his grand-ma in a farmhouse off Davis Bay Road. Like his father, he worked from the

get-go. The family’s draft horses were too big for him to handle. But trac-tors? No problem, starting at age six.

The family kept dairy cows, selling cream for San Juan Gold butter. Dairy chores are constant as tides—sometimes with beneficial results. “I got my hand busted up,” Robert says, “and the doctor told my dad, ‘You’re going to have to get a sponge-rubber ball for him to squeeze, or he’ll lose the use of that hand.’ My dad told him, ‘He don’t need a sponge-rubber ball, he’s got 29 cows to milk, night and morning.’ So those cows saved that hand.”

Starting at the Center School (now the Grange) which his grandpa had built, Robert and his three cousins finished at Port Stanley. Until then, Lopez students had to leave for San Juan or even Sedro-Woolley to graduate, as Lopez’s schools weren’t fully accredited. But the Burt boys worked on Lopez and couldn’t spend their senior year commut-ing. So they petitioned the Superintendent to fin-ish accreditation. In 1951, Robert and his cousins became Lopez’s first gradu-ating class.

Characteristically, Robert played a major role in the renovation of Port Stanley schoolhouse. When the grateful committee present-

ed him with a plaque, some-one asked him what it said. “Oh, heck, I can’t read,” Robert joked, making fun of the school that had fostered him. His hours of work, though, restoring a rotted, animal-infested structure to its former glory, demon-strate his real affection for the place.

After graduation Robert was ready to try the wider world. He got a job with Boeing, but found it “too tough.” What could pos-sibly be too tough for this farm kid? “They put me in the experimental division, making B-52s. But the B-52 was out flying, so there was nothing for me to do. I’d sit at the desk, look at the blueprint…I’d be fall-ing asleep. I told ‘em, ‘I can’t do this.’”

Boeing did avail itself of Robert’s machinist skills, but not enough for his lik-ing, so he took a job at a Ford dealership that included an apprentice-ship program. Back on the farm, Robert had learned through improvisation, but now, night classes taught him proper methods. His job with Ford lasted 17 years.

Eventually manage-ment changed, though, and Robert became disil-lusioned hearing custom-ers complain about things he couldn’t control. So he hired on with Seattle School District, maintaining their fleet of vehicles, “over 300 pieces of equipment.” He stayed with SSD for 25 years, becoming general foreman, keeping things running.

Much as he loves it,

work alone does not define Robert’s life. “The best thing that ever happened to me is sittin’ over there,” Robert says, gesturing to Vivian. In 1954, they met at a Scandinavian dance in Kenmore. They married the next year; a son and two daughters followed. Vivian left teaching to stay home with the kids, then worked as a substitute for 13 years, before ending up as a fed-eral employee.

The Burts built a house in Lynwood, “keeping our nose to the grindstone,” as Vivian puts it, but Lopez always beckoned. They built their Skid Road house here for vacations, “one board at a time” on week-ends. Finally, “42 years of working was enough,” and they became Lopezians—in Robert’s case, again. Their son bought their L ynwood home. “He hasn’t changed the locks yet,” Robert deadpans, “although he has put in an alarm system and he hasn’t told us the code...”

On Lopez, Rober t and Vivian are in great demand. The Historical Society taps them for its advisory board, and sells cards featuring photos taken by Robert’s grand-father. Projects like the renovation of the Grange take advantage of both Robert’s carpentry skills and his memories. The Senior Center is another major component of the Burts’ Lopez maintenance campaign. Robert was chairman; Vivian currently serves as substitute secre-tary. Both attend Senior Lunch regularly. “We try to encourage people to come, to stay and talk,” Robert says. “Eventually, you’re gonna need it.”

The Burt property has already hosted one grand-child’s wedding, with two

more to come, demonstrat-ing how Robert and Vivian have kept Lopez vibrant for following generations. Approaching the house, one sees a refurbished 1928 Model A, and some old trac-tors Robert has “saved.” Yes, the couple travels

quite a bit—to Europe and Scandinavia—and yes, Robert possesses other tal-ents, like crafting musical instruments. But his true vocation is keeping things running.

Submitted by The San Juan County Democrats In the race for Washington State’s 2nd Congressional

District seat, the San Juan County Democrats have unani-mously voted to endorse independent Mike Lapointe over incumbent Democrat Rick Larsen for the Aug. 5 primary election. The main factors in this decision were the incum-bent’s failure to adequately address two of the primary concerns in the San Juan Islands, namely the environmental and economic consequences of building a coal terminal and then shipping massive amounts of coal through the waters of the islands, and the quality-of-life and health-destroying noise of the Navy’s growler jets.

Instead of endorsing our corporate-funded incumbent, we are excited to endorse Mike Lapointe, an independent candidate of the people who accepts no corporate contri-butions. Mike will fight against the coal terminal and the growler jets, and he will also fight for green jobs to replace fossil fuel-related jobs. Mike is actually more true to our Democratic Party platform than the incumbent Democrat Larsen; Mike Lapointe represents our values. He has also demonstrated a far greater openness and responsiveness to our concerns and has made himself available to discuss these with us.

In a unique attempt to include as many Democrats as

possible in the endorsement process, the San Juan County Democrats held endorsement meetings on Orcas, Lopez, and San Juan Islands. Both Mike Lapointe and Rep. Larsen were invited; Mike showed up at each of the three meet-ings, while Rep. Larsen did not attend nor did any of his sur-rogates. In each of the three meetings, not one Democrat voted to endorse Rep. Larsen; in fact, no one even wanted to nominate him. Conversely, all 50 Democrats present at the meetings voted to endorse Mike Lapointe.

It is also worth noting that a week ago at the 40th Legislative District gathering of Democrats endorsements were on the agenda there too. Mike Lapointe had not been added to the slate of candidates to be considered, so there was no opportunity to vote for him, meaning the issue in the 2nd Congressional District race was simply an up-or-down vote on Rep. Larsen. The assembled group voted overwhelmingly not to endorse Congressman Larsen.

It is time for San Juan County and District 2 to be rep-resented by someone who cares about the people and the environment of this wonderful region. The San Juan County Democrats urge a vote in the primary for Mike Lapointe for Congress in the 2nd district.

Summer Chamber Music Festival

By Scott RasmussenJournal editor

Carnival rides. Elephants ears. Corn dogs. Rabbit races. And this year, a circus.

Yep, with a quick look at the calendar we’re remind-ed that opening day of the San Juan County Fair is just a week away. Its four-day run begins Aug. 13.

The fair offers an opportu-nity to discover and admire the creativity, passion, hob-bies and the enterprise of our neighbors. It’s a time to play together, compete against one another, cheer each other on, and celebrate the achievements of friends, neighbors and of islanders that we have yet to meet. The fair grounds us in a way like no other single occa-sion to the place that we all call home, like one great big family reunion.

It’s a pretty good bar-gain, too: just $25 for a sea-son pass (adults), $18 for seniors, $15 for kids. And, on “Kids Day,” children can climb aboard as many amusement rides as they can stomach, from noon to 5 p.m., Thursday and Friday, for $22.

The fair also offers a discount off admission for entering exhibits, like a work of art or craft, a photo, pie or poem, flowers or fine arts, a chicken or egg (whichever comes first) or goat or bunny, or home-brewed beer or costume made out of recycled materi-als, and much, much more.

How about pickling, pre-serving, drying or ferment-ing all the fruits and vege-tables you’ve harvested this summer? Take those items to the San Juan County

Pomona Grange Food Preservation Booth at the “Farmtastic Fun” County Fair for the chance to win some wonderful prizes. This year there are prizes for: best pickles, vinegars or relish, best jam or jelly, best canned vegetable, best dried fruit or vegetable and best meat product.

Each “Best of Class” win-ner will also receive a special rosette ribbon. The overall “Best of Show” winner will receive a large rosette and a special “Best of Show” prize.

So, gather those fruits and vegetables and get busy can-ning. Drop off your entries at the Food Preservation Booth Tuesday, Aug. 12, beginning at 10 a.m. Fun and prizes await you in the Food Preservation Booth at this year’s fair.

Exhibitors pay only $15 for a four-day pass (that’s for adults and seniors) and kids entering exhibits get in for free.

You can also volunteer to be a superintendent. Just a two-hour shift allows you to meet new folks and give back a little.

For more on the 2014 Fair, visit www.sjcfair.org.

modifications, including the installation of a 2,000-gallon double-walled portable die-sel tank, caused the boat to ride lower in the water, mak-ing it susceptible to flood-ing, according to DOE.

There was no evidence of any oil reaching the shore-line.

Penalties issued by Ecology can be appealed

to the Washington State Pollution Control Hearings Board.

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

tion at Washington State Ferries disappointing and short-sighted. First, while our friends to the south are experiencing significant and unacceptable delays, they at least still have service. The removal of this vessel from the Anacortes/Sidney Route does not just cause horrible delays, it cancels the entire route.”

WSF’s Capt. George Capacci said the Tacoma’s power failure left Ferries with two vessels in need of unplanned work at the same time, while two other fer-ries, the Yakima and Kitsap, are out of service for sched-uled maintenance. Capacci described the situation as “unprecedented.”

Service is expected to return to normal by the weekend, at which time the Wenatchee, which has been in Vancouver, B.C. for repair of a leak, will be ready for duty.

The largest ferry system in the U.S., Washington State Ferries operates 22 vessels on 10 routes in Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands, transporting more than 23 million com-muters, tourists and busi-ness passengers a year. A newly built ferry, with 144-auto capacity, was added to the fleet earlier this year and another 144-auto ferry is under construction.

“…the fact that we have more and more vessels out of service is a clear indicator that we must move quickly to complete construction of the three new 144 car

ferries,” Ranker said. “Even more to the point, however, is that this further under-scores the critical need for the legislature to pass a transportation package that will improve our clearly struggling ferry system as well as other sorely needed infrastructure improve-ments throughout our state.”

@ Lopez Library

Shake hands with a sea slug and tickle a sea anemone! Hands-on

fun for budding marine biologists. Kids up to 12 yrs.

Funded by Friends of the Library

Submitted by Lopez School District

At a public special board meeting on July 31, the Lopez Island School District Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve a resolution to place a $9.6 million capital projects bond

request before the voters on the November 2014 election ballot. The capital projects bond would be used for fix-ing, renovating, and upgrad-ing the Lopez and Decatur school campuses to address the need to bring the cam-

puses up to safety, health and security standards. It will also be used for upgrading the classrooms and other spaces to fur-ther enhance the district’s efforts toward meeting edu-cational standards, includ-

ing technology. Public meet-ings and other means of sharing information about the bond will begin in early September. For more info, contact Superintendent Bill Evans at 468-2202 or [email protected].

School board votes for bond on ballot

With the primary election almost over, the general elec-tion can’t be far behind. This November’s ballot promises a number of measures, both local and statewide. For all ballot measures submitted by local governments, it is the responsibility of the district to appoint committees to write arguments for and against the measure. If the district is unable to appoint committees, that responsibility falls to the county auditor.

San Juan County Elections is expecting five different local tax measures on the November ballot. Two of the juris-dictions running those measures have already said they can’t find writers against the tax measures. Others may do the same. For that reason, County Auditor Milene Henley is seeking people interested in writing arguments against any of the following measures.

The five expected measures are:1. San Juan County EMS property tax levy2. Town of Friday Harbor .2 percent sales tax to create a

Transportation Benefit District3. Orcas Island School District property tax levy (not yet

submitted)4. Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District property tax levy

(not yet submitted)5. San Juan County property tax levy lid lift, replacing the

levy lid lift approved in 2009 (not yet submitted)Contact the auditor at [email protected], or at 370-

7558, if you are interested in opposing any of the measures, if you know someone else who might be, or even if you just want to learn more about them.

‘Pros’ and ‘Cons’ are requested for the November ballot

& 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 quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a firewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

By Sarah EppenbachSpecial to the Weekly

Do you gaze at a bundle of vintage silk neckties and envision a chic cocktail gown? Or think a discarded Twister game might make a kicky little dress? Could you glimpse Cleopatra’s headdress lurking inside a broken reed curtain, or conjure an outfit from heat-ing tubing and tractor tire parts? If so, you might be a Trashionista at heart.

These were just a few of the creations that elic-ited gasps of wonder and shrieks of laughter at last year’s Trashion-Fashion Show.

The funky-wacky over-the-top showstopper known as Trashion-Fashion will be held at Lopez Center at 4:30 p.m Saturday, Aug. 9. Robert Herrmann will return as co-emcee, joined by jewelry artist CiCi, a familiar presence from the Lopez Saturday Market. Together they will shepherd the parade of Lopez creative spirits across the stage and onto the runway to “flaunt their flair” before a three-judge panel charged with awarding an array trophies cobbled together from the Take-It-Or-Leave-It. Judges for the event will be Jan Scilipoti, Jeff Nichols, and Joyce Brinar. If prior shows are any indicator, they will have their work cut out for them.

In its third year, Trashion-Fashion is a fundraising and promotional event put on by SWAP (Solid Waste Alternatives Program), the non-profit organization sup-

porting the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District. In addition to raising funds to augment the Dump’s bud-get, the event showcases the concept of “Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle” in a way that is entertaining for participants and audience alike. “It’s a serious mes-sage that we try to deliver un-seriously,” says SWAP board member Kate Scott, who appeared on the run-

way last year in a dress crafted of plastic bubble wrap and drinking straws—used straws, of course.

Lopez Trashionistas can obtain an entry form at Paper, Scissors on the Rock, Deja Vu, Isabel’s, and the Southend General Store, or online at www.lopez-solidwaste.org. Trashion-Fashion creations must be wearable, be made out of recyclables or repurposed

items, and be modeled on the Lopez Center runway at the show. Entries can be as individuals or teams. Past shows included memorable team entries from family members, friends, and co-workers.

Tickets to the perfor-mance will be available at Paper Scissors on the Rock, the Southend General Store, and at the door for a suggested $15 donation. Plans include a no-host bar, free “junk food” snacks, and a chance to mingle with the models after the show.

Rather than choosing her calling, Skidmore’s natural abil-ity and innate passion for music made her music career unavoidable.
