By Steve WehrlyJournal reporter

The executive committee of the Marine Resources Committee has been asked to meet with three mem-bers of the San Juan County Council in response to con-tacts between the MRC and state and federal agencies.

Newly installed Council Chairman Jamie Stevens commented on the MRC and the results he hopes to see from the meeting: “The Marine Resources Committee performs a valu-able and important service for the council and the coun-ty. I expect the smaller group to bring back to the council a plan for expanded communi-

cations between the council and the MRC.”

The council decided to hold the meeting after Councilman Rich Peterson thought recent interactions between the MRC and two agencies, the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, appeared to him that the MRC was engaging in setting policy on issues involving preser-vation of salmon and orca populations.

The two issues – “No-Go Zones” for orca protec-tion and the work closure period to protect juvenile salmon in San Juan County – have raised concern on

the council that the MRC’s “valuable role in protecting and enhancing the marine environment doesn’t conflict with the council’s policy set-ting role,” said Councilman Marc Forlenza, Friday Harbor, who will be attend-ing the meeting along with Peterson and Patty Miller, East Orcas.

At a Dec. 5 meeting of the MRC in Friday Harbor, Peterson came prepared with a council resolution stat-ing, “The county’s position regarding the ‘No-Go Zone’ as proposed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric [Administration] will be that position articulated by the San Juan County Council and not that of any of its subcommittees or advisory groups.”

The National Marine Fisheries Service, an agency of NOAA, proposed a new “public outreach program”

to reconsider its 2009 pro-posal to ban all boats from a half-mile-wide strip of water along much of the west side of San Juan Island, where killer whales cruise during the summer. Several people attending the meeting spoke against any reconsideration of the “No-Go Zone,” and so far NMFS has not announced any outreach meetings on the issue.

At the same Dec. 5 meet-ing, the MRC approved a letter to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife on the “work win-dow closure period” under the department’s hydraulic code rules.

In 2005, as part of the Puget Sound Salmon Recovery Plan, the DFW designated the period between March 15 and June 14 as the time that near-shore construction throughout Puget Sound

County council looks at marine issues

Players, parents and coaches are getting ready for those famous words: “Let’s play ball.”

As little as six years ago the opportunity for children on Lopez to play organized baseball was all but gone. Through strong support of community volunteers, par-ents, coaches and sponsors they enthusiastically look for-ward to another great season.

“Five years ago we strug-

gled to form just one team, participating in league play with Orcas Island,” says par-ent and assistant coach Mike Reinmuth. “Now we find ourselves overwhelmed with interest, enough to field three teams, including a girls’ soft-ball team.”

Children ages 5-13 (with some restrictions on their birthday) are encouraged to register for this year’s teams that will start practicing in

March. Games begin in April, after the scheduled spring break from school, and con-tinue weekly through early June, culminating in what has become a traditional season-ending tournament and bar-becue.

As with any organization, Lopez Youth Baseball and Softball is seeking interested parents, team sponsors and volunteers to participate at all levels. Enthusiastic coaches, supportive team parents or

help with carpooling after practice are all needed and welcomed. Registration fees will cover the cost of the uni-form (shirt, pants and ball cap) some new equipment (bats and balls) and affordable medical insurance coverage during practice and games. Registration fees and much of the equipment costs are supplemented through team sponsorships from local busi-nesses or individual sponsors.

Support the Fire and EMS levy

On Feb. 12, Lopez voters will have the opportunity to approve the first levy increase since 2004 for local fire pro-

tection and emergency medi-cal services. There are many people on Lopez who have had first-hand experience in receiving the help they needed, when they needed it. Twenty-four hours of every day, a well-organized, well-trained and equipped team responds quickly and profes-sionally whenever needed.

This is possible not only because of the rigorous and demanding training that is required of our paramed-ics, volunteer EMTs, and firefighters, but because of the quality leadership that the department enjoys. The working relationship of the chief, the board, and person-nel results in a high level of morale, dedication, and coop-eration, which is reflected in the quality and efficiency of the services provided.

Another important ben-efit of this leadership is the provision of knowledgeable and responsible strategic planning, which is done in 10 year increments, to sus-tain and improve emergency response into the future.

This levy request will add 16 cents to the 67 cents per

$1,000 evaluation currently collected, and will carry through the year 2022. There isn’t a better bargain around. Support the levy. Help Lopez Fire and EMS, so they can continue help you.

‘League’ concerned about coal

The League of Women Voters of the San Juans would like to publicly endorse the letter of Nov. 27, 2012 writ-ten by the San Juan County Council to the lead agen-cies for the Gateway Pacific Terminal Environmental Impact Statement.

We thank the SJCC for addressing concerns that may impact San Juan County. The 2013 Legislative Priorities of the Washington State League of Women Voters urges our legislators to “consider envi-ronmental quality and public health impacts when making decisions about transporta-tion and exports.”

If the proposed coal termi-nal is approved, the increased vessel traffic through the waterways of the San Juan Archipelago has the potential to impact the environment and human health. It will take the efforts of all of us to be sure that the involved agen-cies are addressing all of our

concerns. We encourage our citizens

to write to the lead agencies preparing the EIS with your concerns about the impacts. Ask them to study potential adverse impacts and consider how impacts could be miti-gated.

To comment, send an email direct to: comments @eisgatewaypacific.gov

For more information go to “Coal Trains in Washington” at: www.lwvwa.org/positions.html.

Support for AyersI am writing to express

support for Greg Ayers. My support is based on:

His creative and pragmatic ideas for increasing the health of our economy. Please note, I’m not the only one who values his thoughts – he is a small business advisor for the Obama administration on the Presidential National Economic Council.

His integrity – he did not seek an endorsement from the Democratic (or any other) Party. He chose to honor the spirit of non-parti-san elections, rather than the letter of the law.

His ability to problem solve and his care for the environment – when the sep-

tic systems of OPAL houses on Orcas threatened the groundwater, he met with the reluctant land trust group (headed by Lisa Byers) to listen to their concerns and to create a solution to their pollution. Ultimately, Greg Ayers found a way to reduce costs enough to enable them to hook on to the sewer dis-trict. His leadership helped resolved a known environ-mental problem on Orcas.

Greg Ayers can lead us beyond partisanship, and has the skills and heart to help us create a positive future together. Please join me in voting for Greg Ayers.

Response to John Evans’ letter

In response to John Evans’ letter to the Editor (published 1/15/13) I want to first say that I am proud of my con-tributions and accomplish-ments on the council, as a volunteer, and in my previ-ous jobs. I am also pleased with the grants that San Juan County has been fortunate to receive, and the many local jobs that resulted from those grant funds. These grant funds have not made SJC beholden to anything other than the deliverables

What people are saying about Greg“I know Greg has faced challenges in connecting homes to the ESWD sewer system and has, in my opinion, provided creative and fair solutions for homeowners. I feel that Greg has the qualifications, experience and personal drive nec-essary to address the problems and issues currently facing San Juan County. Therefore, I highly recommend that you

cast your vote for Greg Ayers for County Council.”—John MacLeod, Orcas Island

solutions, but is there to implement them. I really enjoyed working with him.”

—Garth Eimers, Orcas Island

“I support Greg Ayers for the San Juan County Council. Greg’s the candidate who combines foresight with insight and ability. We’ll get the job done right with Greg Ayers on

the County Council.”—Leonard Wood, Orcas Island

to protecting our island environment. He recognizes the importance of education and sustainable programs

of life.”—Dave and Jane Cable, San Juan Island

opinions to find common ground, accomplishing a unified goal. Greg is deeply involved in the community. He believes that we must all work together as neighbors, building self-sustaining

lives while preserving our rural culture. Please join me in supporting Greg for County Council.”

News briefs‘Four Ways of Parenting’ workshop

Life Coach Sylvia Chesley Smith is presenting a free parenting workshop called “Four Ways of Parenting” on Lopez at the Library on Jan. 28 from 7 to 9 p.m.

“Parenting is easily the most engaging and reward-ing job you will ever have, and the most challenging,” said Smith. “No one is a per-fect parent and no one sets out to be a poor parent. We

tend to parent the way we were parented unless we con-sciously learn new skills and better ways to do the job.”

Smith has 25 years experi-ence as a counselor and par-ent educator.

Lopez girl makes the dean’s list

Larissa Berg of Lopez Island earned dean’s list recognition at George Fox University for the fall 2012 semester. Berg, a senior

majoring in Nursing, earned the distinction for earning a 3.5 grade point average or better for at least one term.

Search for new county manager begins

At its regular session, Jan. 15, the San Juan County Council okayed the start of the county manager recruit-ment process. The council has selected the Prothman Company of Issaquah to serve as its agent and to coor-

dinate with County Human Resources personnel. The council directed Prothman and county staff to make a special effort to find quali-fied local candidates for the job as part of their recruiting efforts.

The council has asked for community input at its Jan. 29 meeting about the knowl-edge, skills and abilities to seek in the search for the new county manager. Read more about this search at www.islandsweekly.com.

“The players and parents are overwhelmed by the support from the local com-munity, specifically the gen-erous team sponsors for the past few years,” says Ellyn Goodrich, parent and sup-porter. “We are looking for-ward to another terrific year for Lopez Youth Baseball and Softball.”

“It is very encouraging and rewarding to see the growth and self confidence among the players,” says coach and parent volunteer Jeremiah Johnson. “The

kids are all very excited to play and their enthusiasm is contagious!”

The second Pancake Breakfast fundraiser and registrations gathering at the Lopez Community Center for the Arts is January 26, 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.

Suggested donations are $5 for kids and $8 for adults.There you will have a chance to see and meet some of the players, get their auto-graphs, and pictures.

On top of that, you’ll be able to fill your bellies with a great community breakfast.

would be restricted or even closed. The MRC letter pro-posed “WDFW and the San Juan MRC work together again to revise the work window closure period…to better reflect the time that juvenile salmon are actually in our waters.”

The letter continued: “Recent local research documents that juvenile salmon are present in our area at least from March 15 through Oct. 31. Therefore, we request that WDFW revise the work window clo-sure period to better reflect the conditions in the San Juan Islands.”

Philip Anderson, Director of DFW, responded that DFW “is current working through the process to update the hydraulic code rules, including the prohib-

ited work times in saltwater areas” and concluded that DFW would “contact the MRC to schedule a meeting in February to discuss the work closure window.”

Peterson termed the let-ter and its advocacy of an extended work window clo-sure “problematic.”

Peterson said, “This letter suggests that work windows for commercial and private projects be shortened to winter months only. The pol-icy underlying that kind of action should be proposed by the council responding to the advice of the MRC, not by the MRC itself.”

Peterson said he expects that he, Forlenza and Miller would meet with the MRC executive committee within the next few days, and said the subject of advisory com-mittees, including the MRC, would be a topic for the annual council retreat on Monday, Jan. 14.

San Juan County Sheriff ’s Department reported responding to these calls:

Dec. 19: A family dispute led to the arrest of a Lopez Island woman accused of using her fist to shatter the window on the back door of

her brother’s home in order to get inside.

The 27-year-old, who reportedly broke the window because her brother refused to let her in, faces charges of trespassing and misdemean-

or vandalism. Dec. 29: A single-car

collision near the intersec-tion of Orcas and Swan roads led to the arrest of an Orcas Island man for DUI. The 54-year-old, who was taken into custody at about 8:30 p.m., reportedly escaped the crash without suffering significant injury.

Dec. 30: Computer equip-ment, three penlights and $50 in coins disappeared in an apparent early morning theft at an inn at the north end of Eastsound, the latest in a string of break-ins and thefts in the commercial core of Orcas Island. The owner of the inn reportedly notified

authorities of the theft, total-ing $300 in missing items, shortly after 4 a.m.

Jan. 1: Allegations of assault led to the arrest of an Orcas Island man accused of attacking a 19-year-old woman at a New Year’s Eve celebration at Odd Fellows Hall. The 20-year-old, also charged with an alcohol-related offense, was taken into custody in the 200 block of Main Street shortly before 1 a.m. The alleged victim was also arrested for being a minor in possession of alcohol.

Jan. 2: An Anacortes couple claims that they were harassed, threatened and stalked by the driver of a mid-80s Mustang during an excursion at the National Park at the south end of San Juan Island. The driver of the Mustang, described as a white male, 20-30 years of age, with

a dark mustache and wear-ing knitted cap, reportedly blocked the couple’s car in parking lot at South Beach for several minutes, sped off, and later pursued the cou-ple as they drove out of the park, tailgating them aggres-sively for several miles along the way. The Mustang also reportedly later reappeared outside the trailer where the couple was staying, where it idled for awhile before it then sped away.

– A Lopez Island woman vowed to remove the assort-ment of garbage and debris that she reportedly dumped on the property of a next door neighbor without per-mission. The 71-year-old also reportedly apologized for the trespass and the transgression.

– Failure to both obey a stop sign and use a turn signal prompted a criminal citation

for a San Juan Island woman for driving with a suspended license following a late-night traffic stop in Friday Harbor. The 35-year-old was pulled over near the intersection of Second and Court streets at about 11:30 p.m.

Jan. 4: An Orcas Island woman claims someone stole her supply of prescription painkillers while she was onboard a mid-afternoon ferry out of Anacortes and bound for home. The miss-ing medication includes 100 tablets of Oxycodone.

Jan. 6: A ornamental ship’s clock made of mahog-any and brass vanished from a Friday Harbor home in an apparent case of theft. The clock, valued at $2,325, was displayed on a shelf in the living room of an 82-year-old man’s Franck Street home at the time it disappeared.

Jan. 8: Failure to use a turn signal prompted a criminal citation for an Orcas Island man for driving with a suspended license following a mid-afternoon traffic stop at the intersection of Henry and North Beach Roads. The 56-year-old, whose license reportedly was suspended for neglecting to pay an out-of-state parking ticket, was pulled over at about 3:30 p.m. He also was ticketed for fail-ing to signal before making a turn and received a warning for expired registration.

– Lack of illumination over a license plate led to a criminal citation for a San Juan Island woman for driving with a sus-pended license following a late-evening traffic stop at the intersection of C and Nichols streets. The 18-year-old, pulled over shortly before 10 p.m., was given a warning about the lack of lights above her license plate.

Jan. 9: The numbers of a credit card belonging to a Friday Harbor man were used to purchase $2,600 of merchandise in Italy in an apparent case of fraud. The credit card company report-edly closed the 19-year-old’s account immediately after contacting his mother, who lives in China, about the pur-chases, which were report-edly made without the man’s knowledge or permission.

98204Lopez Island artist Steven R. Hill, was

honored to have two paintings juried into a regional exhibit “Contemporary Marine Artists of the West” that opened Friday, Jan. 19, at Knowlton Gallery in Lodi, Calif. His works were selected from 68 entries, narrowed to 34 art-ists from California, Arizona, Oregon, Washington and Nevada, by Donald Demers, who is a fellow of the American Society of Marine Artists and noted marine painter from Maine. Visit www.knowltongallery.com to view the exhib-it, which hangs through March 2.

Hill was also recently featured in an article “Taking on the Big Apple,”

with seven other artists from around the world, in ArtisSpectrum Magazine, (Vol. 28, pages 78 and 79), published by Agora Gallery, Chelsea, NYC. He will be showcasing his third solo exhibit at Agora Gallery, with an opening recep-tion on June 6.

Hill’s works can be seen locally at Crow Valley Gallery, Eastsound and Windswept Fine Art Gallery on Lopez Island.

The painting pictured right “Fog Lifting, Monterey Bay” is one of Hill’s pieces selected and was done en plein air, from Monterey Wharf, during the 2011 Carmel Art Festival.

which are clearly stated in the grants’ contracts.

Regarding campaign

endorsements, I am remind-ed of the disingenuous objec-tions to endorsements during the 2012 election. The SJC Democrats were forthright in stating their endorsements. Officers of the SJC Republican Party spoke in opposition to endorsements, yet only my opponent was included on the SJC Republican Party’s website and only my oppo-nent was invited to speak at the GOP event that featured several regional and state-wide Republican candidates.

The Journal of the San Juan Islands’ editorial on

December 5, 2012 gives an excellent response to Mr. Evans: “The charter doesn’t say candidates cannot be a member of, or be supported by, a political party. Nor does it specify that members of a political party, or the political party itself, cannot endorse, contribute to, or work for a given candidate. To do so would surely be a violation of constitutional guaranties of free association and free speech…. We recognize that political parties and ‘special interests’ can be a source of dysfunction and frustration,

both locally and nationally. But we’d much rather they come right out in public with their endorsements and con-tributions and positions on issues. Then you can make up your mind with maximum information.”

The charter, and also the voters’ intent, does not violate our constitutional guaranties of free association and free speech by restricting endorse-ments. What is important is open and transparent govern-ment and that begins with the campaign. I will continue to receive and seek endorse-ments from individuals and groups throughout this cam-paign and I will ensure that those endorsements are open and transparent.

LoveL PrattSan Juan Island

Support for ByersI urge voters to support

Lisa Byers for San Juan County Council. She under-stands what the islands are about and what issues affect us.

Her greatest strength is her willingness to listen well and then speak the truth. She is reasonable but not shy about kindly saying what she thinks is right even when it’s unpopular.

But it’s her understanding of what local government should be, her stated priori-ties for San Juan County, that make her a great candidate. She gets it. Her website lists the three big goals that will guide her efforts.

1- Sustaining a healthy, diverse and vibrant commu-nity. No one narrow issue

is so critical it overcomes the importance of balancing many factors to sustain a good community. Priorities change but the main goal for county government couldn’t be stated better.

2 - Fostering job opportu-nities that strengthen island culture. Without jobs with liv-ing wages that fit our culture, healthy island communities cannot prosper.

3 - Aligning a balanced budget with citizens’ priori-ties. With Lisa on the council, citizens will have a member who has proven she is will-ing to listen with an open mind to determine what’s most important and then to act wisely.

Please vote for Lisa Byers for county council.
