Spotty cell phone coverage in the San Juan Islands, where boaters at Sucia Island get better recep-tion than many residents of Orcas Island, might be coming to an end.

Island cell phone users, county emergency service personnel and even disgruntled whale watchers at Lime Kiln Park are being prom-ised better cellular phone service if the San Juan County Council passes the Broadband/Emergency Services/Wireless Ordinance at a June 26 public hearing.

Cell phone service has been a perennial issue for residents of all islands, but communication needs of public safety personnel and emergency service provid-ers have been a priority concern since an ad hoc citizens group was formed in 2008 to address con-straints of local land-use rules on siting of communications anten-nas. If approved, the pending wireless ordinance would replace regulations on siting of cellular antenna siting that went into effect in 1997.

Drawing on recommenda-tions of the citizens group and the Planning Commission, the proposed ordinance liberalizes the

By Scott RasmussenJournal Editor

When all else fails, amateur radio operators can dial in and save the day.

That’s exactly what happened in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, when electricity was gone, and telephones and cell-phones didn’t work, and police, fire and paramedic communica-tions all failed. In fact, amateur radio operators, affectionately known as “HAMS”, are an ele-ment of the Federal Emergency Management Administration’s official emergency planning in the event of a catastrophic disaster.

They are also an essential ingredient in San Juan County’s disaster preparedness plans, and amateur radio operator Craig Melvin says that’s a role that he and his colleagues relish.

“I think all of us are wanting one day to be the hero,” Melvin said.

San Juan County is home to 200-plus license amateur radio operators and 80 “active” HAMS, and the local club boasts a membership of about 40.

On Saturday, roughly 20 radio operators assem-bled at the historic communications station near Cape San Juan for national Field Day event, in which HAMS across the country attempt to con-nect with as many other “stations” as they can. Part emergency preparedness, part contest and part equipment check, the annual event is also an opportunity for a brotherhood — and sisterhood — of Hams to spend a day sharing their hobby.

Club president Mike Sears said the group, with four stations in play, were able to make 300-plus connections during Field Day 2011. That 300-plus mark translated into 1,300 points for the nation-wide competition and kept the local out of the cellar, he said.

“We weren’t at the bottom,” Sears said.

Madrona Murphy has lived in the islands for 31

years and this year is the worst tent caterpillar out-break she has ever seen.

“People keep asking us what to do about them,”

said Murphy, a botanist at the Lopez-based laboratory Kwiaht.

More specifically, people want to know how to kill them.

The western tent caterpil-lar, with its orange and black markings, is an unpopular visitor on the islands. Periodic caterpillar outbreaks result in defoliation, minor branch die-back, and in some cases, tree mortality, according to the U.S. and Fish and Wildlife Service.

The peaks or “outbreaks” are cyclical, tend to occur every six to 11 years and can last up to four years. These eruptions are gener-ally regulated by weather and temperature.

“After an outbreak the population collapses and there are years in which the caterpillars are hard to find,” Murphy said.

This insect, which is four to five centimeters long, gets its name from the “tents” it spins on the tips of branches. Eggs hatch in early spring, and then larvae begin feed-ing. Young tent caterpillars usually eat all of the leaves on one branch before mov-ing on to the next. They spin their cocoons in mid-June, and the adult moths emerge in seven to 10 days.

Murphy said this year some caterpillars hatched late and may keep eating until July.

“We don’t know if it is due to changes in the cli-mate, but it looks like the tent caterpillar season may be longer this year than nor-mal,” she added.

The good news is that caterpillars do not transmit diseases to humans, do not bite, and are not poison-ous, according to Sharon J. Collman of Washington State University’s Extension Master Gardener Program in her article “Biology and Control of Tent Caterpillars.”

The bad news is a single tent may result in 20 percent defoliation of a small tree. Established trees can handle at least 25 percent defoliation without experiencing any ill effects, according to WSU gardener experts, but where trees are crowded or stressed, the defoliation could be a life and death matter.Trees suf-fering from excessive cold, heat, drought or flooding are more at risk to be destroyed by tent caterpillar outbreaks.

Caterpillars may wreak havoc on weak trees, but these pests also have natural enemies – a highly conta-gious virus and a parasitic fly. The virus passes easily from one caterpillar to the other so when the density of the caterpillars is high it leads to heavy mortal-ity: imagine someone with meningitis in a mosh pit.

The other dangers these caterpillars face is even more insidious. If you see a caterpil-lar with one or more small white dots on its head those are the eggs of the tachinid fly.

“The larvae eat the cater-pillars from the inside out,” Murphy said. “It’s pretty

gruesome. And when these infected caterpillars pupate, the fly hatches and flies out instead of finishing its cat-erpillar meal.”

And there is one more ani-mal that causes the destruc-tion of this creepy crawler: humans, which have an assortment of weapons including fire and chemicals.

According to Whatcom County’s gardening program extension website, you should never use fire as a control method for tent caterpillars as burning can cause more damage to the tree.

“Don’t worry too much,” Murphy said. “Most trees will recover on their own this year, even if they look terrible right now.”

Murphy suggests picking caterpillars off small trees, but the best time to control tent caterpillars is next win-ter when you can remove the eggs before they hatch. Eggs, which are slightly bub-bly gray crusts, are laid by the adult moths in late sum-mer and are easily found in winter after trees drop their leaves and can be peeled off of the branches by hand.

Murphy said the next best option for controlling the caterpillars is just after they hatch. When they are clus-tered around newly spun nests, Murphy said you should cut out the nests and after removing them dispose of the affected branches by squashing the caterpillars, putting them in your cov-ered compost pile, burning them or immersing them in water or salt water.

With $3.3 million in fed-eral money in the bank, the Port of Friday Harbor will begin major reconstruction of the airport taxiway start-ing in late July.

The backbone of the proj-ect will be to first demolish and then relocate "Taxiway A" roughly six feet to west in order to accommodate airplanes with greater wing-span. Airport Manager David Ryan said the project will include installation of additional safety features, such as LED lighting, and improvement of the air-port's stormwater drainage system as well.

"There's quite a bit of stuff that will make airport oper-ations more efficient and safer," Ryan said.

To help finance the project, the Port is slat-ed to receive $3.3 mil-lion in Federal Aviation

Administration grant money, which is expected to cover roughly 90 percent of the project cost. As part of grant, the port must con-tribute a 10-percent match of FAA funds and will pur-sue a state Department of Transportation grant to cover a portion of those matching funds.

Congressman Rick Larsen, D-Everett, a member of the House Transportation and the Infrastructure Committee, which over-sees FAA spending, cited the economic benefits that the $3.3 million grant will deliver by helping to finance the construction project and "modernize" the airport.

“This investment in the Friday Harbor Airport will create jobs and help keep San Juan residents connected,” Larsen said in a prepared statement. “Smart invest-ments in our transportation infrastructure like this cre-

ate jobs, improve safety, and provide the base for future economic growth.”

Ryan notes the port quali-fies for $1 million in annual FAA grants because of the airport’s annual number of so-called "im-planements", meaning the number of landings and take-offs, totaling roughly 10,000 a year. The grant will include roughly $2 million in FAA money that the port would have received in the past

couple of years, but instead "banked" with the recon-struction project in mind.

The project is anticipated to cost just over $3.6 million into total. It drew bids form three companies. The port commission awarded the contract June 13 to Sedro Wooley-based Trimaxx, which submitted the lowest bid of the three.

Construction is slated to get under way in late July, which coincides not only

with the airport's busiest season of the year, but will come on the heels of the airport's third annual Fly-In and Open House celebra-tion, on July 23. The project

is expected to be completed by the end of September, Ryan said.

"It's going to be a busy, busy summer at the air-port," he said.

“Once the caterpillars have dispersed throughout the tree control becomes much more difficult,” she added.

Some sources recommend spraying the caterpillars with Bacillus thuringiensis, a bacterium that is toxic to caterpillars, but Murphy urges islanders to consider that Bt is a living organism and will continue to kill the caterpillars of other butter-flies and moths.

“Patience may be the best course at this time since most caterpillars will stop eating in June and leave the trees to spin their cocoons,” Murphy said.

Despite the fact that tent caterpillars can do some pretty serious damage, they are not entirely destructive to the environment. According to WSU gardener experts some birds do feed on tent caterpillars and they can even be beneficial to trees.

“When alders and other trees are defoliated, the shrubs and trees below receive increased sunlight, giving some of them a boost in growth,” Collman said. “The eaten leaves pass through the caterpillar’s body and emerge as little pel-lets which can break down easily, returning nutrients to the forest floor. Pupae provide nutritious meals for small mammals, and moths are eaten by birds and bats.”

candidates file for a local non-partisan office will a primary election be held.

The guide also con-tains information about

voter propositions, such as Proposition 1, which would increase the sales-and-use tax in San Juan County from 7.8 percent to 8.1 percent.

The tax increase, approved for the ballot by a unani-mous County Council, is dedicated to funding crimi-

nal justice and public safety programs, and the revenue would be divided 60 percent for the county and 40 per-cent for the town.

As usual, the guide pro-vides space for written statements by citizens sup-porting and opposing Prop. 1, the only proposition on the local primary ballot.

Except this year, nobody volunteered to write a state-ment in opposition, despite efforts by Auditor Milene Henley to recruit an oppos-ing viewpoint. The May 28 deadline for submitting a Prop. 1 “con” statement came and went without any takers.

Former sheriff Bill Cumming and San Juan County Sheriff Rob Nou, along with Orcas resident Steve Henigson, prepared the “Argument For” the tax increase. Their statement points out that county bud-gets are under severe fund-ing pressure at the present time, that criminal justice and public safety programs are high-priority budget items and that receipts from the tax increase will leave other funds available for other town and county priorities.

New tack for derelict boat program

San Juan County and the Department of Natural Resources are working together to identify and deal with problem vessels before they sink.

The county Derelict Vessel Removal Program has been proactive in situ-tations where a boat is in obvious danger of sinking or polluting local waters, according to coordinator Joanruth Baumann. But the statutes that define the program make it dif-ficult to address vessels that have a high-risk potential, she said, but may not be clearly ready to sink.

The recent incident in Penn Cove on Whidbey Island, where a vessel owner ignored state laws and repeated calls for the vessel’s compliance or removal, which allowed the boat to remain in the water until it burned and

sank, releasing hundreds of gallons of fuel into the water has propelled the county and DNR to improve the program.

Baumann said many coves in the islands have vessels that have been stored on buoys for years, some of which are in rough shape and clearly abandoned.

She adds that a few local owners have been responsible for multiple der-elict boats. This winter, a local owner let three derelict boats sink in Friday Harbor in less than two months, cost-ing the public over $21,000 and drop-ping debris, fuel and chemicals into the harbor, she said.

Under Washington state marine laws, the county and DNR will work with volunteers and the Sheriff ’s Department to document vessels with expired registrations, those anchored or buoyed out on non-permitted buoys for far more that the 30 days allowed, and those seemingly aban-doned, which are liable to break loose in a storms and damage other boats

or sink. By that time, according to Baumann,

pollution has been released into the water and a far greater amount of pub-lic funds are needed to deal with the cleanup and disposal of the hulk.

This project aim to document boats with problems, and then the county may encourage compliance and work with owners to make needed changes. And the sheriff will enforce the laws as he deems necessary.

DNR will step in by working with vessel owners and with funding. The county has received a grant to pay for program startup from the San Juan County Action Agenda Oversight Group and some funding from the Port of Friday Harbor for operation.

Additional funding will be required but will potentially be matched by DNR.

For more info, contact Baumann at 206-999-0547, or [email protected].

State, local official team up on intervention for problem boats

permitting process that would allow for more loca-tions for cellular service antennas, especially for antennas classified as “joint use” and that meet aesthetic and safety design standards.

“We have gone through a long process,” said Councilman Howie Rosenfeld. “There’s things we might have done differ-ently, but it’s something we need to get done, especially for law enforcement, fire-fighters and EMTs.”

But it’s not a done deal quite yet. The council recently received notice from Verizon Cellular asserting that the proposed ordinance discriminates against cellular providers in favor of Orcas Power and Light Cooperative.

The letter reiterates posi-tions taken during public hearings on the ordinance earlier this year and has been

reviewed by Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord.

Gaylord said that he vet-ted the ordinance as well as the arguments advanced by Verizon and others in the letter and the public hearings. His conclusion, which he will provide to the council Tuesday, is that the ordinance “addresses the concerns expressed” by the service providers and “is ready to be passed.”

Council Chairwoman Patty Miller acknowledged that “[t]here has been a question raised” about “preferential treatment.”

But, she said in an email, “I do not expect it will derail the ordinance which we expect to pass as early as next Tuesday.”

And none too soon, per-haps, for islanders weary of yelling, “Can you hear me now?” into their cellphones.

It is wonderful that our island is blessed with such talented and dedicated indi-viduals devoted to serving our community. Thanks very much for your service.

More coal? It’s a really bad idea

The proposal by Peabody Coal and SSA Marine to build a terminal port at Cherry Point near Bellingham to ship approxi-mately 100 million tons of coal per year to China is really a bad idea.

The port would increase train traffic in our state and would increase ship-ping in the San Juan Islands and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Marine life is already impacted by the pres-ent amount of traffic. The Cherry Point area is also a protected marine area for spawning herring.

Mining and burning coal is an industry we must give up. Besides the production of greenhouse gases, coal creates many health hazards to life. Mercury is one of the by-products. To learn more about the health hazards, see the website, www.psr.org, of Physicians for Social Responsibility.

The port proposal is undergoing the permit-ting process and you have time to voice your opin-ion. Write to all your elected officials (state and federal) and to the Army Corps of Engineers. Addresses can be found in the Green Pages of

the phone book or online. We are a free people. We can effect change and

do what is important to keep our unbearably beauti-ful little blue-green world safe and healthy on its jour-ney among the stars.

Thanks for paver path support

On behalf of the San Juan Historical Society & Museum, I offer a sincere thank you to the many busi-nesses, organizations and individuals whose generous donation of time, materi-als, equipment and talents made our brick paver path project a reality.

The paths link the muse-um’s heritage structures and outdoor exhibits together and honor the memory of the late Jim Cahail, for-mer Friday Harbor mayor and museum volunteer. Numerous individuals made financial contributions to honor Jim’s memory which were then directed to fund the project. Great com-munity support moved the project along and ensured a job well done.

Many thanks to Browne’s Home Center, Mike Carlson Enterprises, Cattle Point Rock & Topsoil, Lawson Quarry, Harbor Rental & Saw Shop, Harvey’s Excavation, San Juan County Land Bank, San Juan Island Trails Committee, FHHS Varsity Baseball team and Coach Rich Warin, FHHS Community Service Project students Jessica Mauldin and Felix Baldwin, Doug McCutchen, Steve Ulvi, Thom Pence, Ross

Liquor with our groceries?

I am appalled at the greedy decision of our neighbor-hood grocery stores to begin selling hard liquor.

This new addition to their inventory is — at best, insen-sitive and — at worst, irre-sponsible.

Insensitive hardly

describes their willingness to place hard liquor on the shelves, in the grocery bas-kets, and at the checkout. Having to work my way past the multiple displays of beer and wine has been bad enough, but grocery store ads are now bragging they are a one-stop shop to “save a trip to the liquor store.” I never go there.

Insensitive also applies to the feelings of clerks and ser-vice personnel who will have to handle the hard stuff, if they want to keep their jobs, regardless of their attitude toward liquor.

Irresponsible is the best way to describe the stores’ greedy attitude, since it will now be so much easier for susceptible people to be easily tempted to spend money on liquor instead of milk, meat or clothing. Irresponsible is the only way to describe the decision to place hard liquor in front of

numerous children who reg-ularly accompany parents on shopping expeditions. True, bottles are sealed and it’s not a saloon, but repeated expo-sure implies (incorrectly) that hard liquor is as accept-able and healthy as carrots and cheese.

Irresponsible is bragging about making the purchase of liquor so easily available that people cannot resist. Stores adding liquor are apparently looking only at net profit, but they have a responsibil-ity toward betterment of our community. If they make liquor increasingly available, they should be held morally (if not legally) accountable for the ensuing rise in DUIs and accidents.

No, I’m not pushing for prohibition, but liquor should not be slapping us in the face every time we go for a loaf of bread.

Editorial

End of an eraThe Fourth of July and sparklers used to go

together like a horse and carriage.For older boys, bottle rockets and

firecrackers were a rite of passage. For younger children, sparklers were a fun experiment — fol-lowing the light trail as they were waved around in the dark.

But beginning this year, personal use of any fireworks is illegal, sparklers included.

In November 2010, local voters for the second time rejected a referendum seeking to overturn the ban on so-called “safe and sane” fireworks, albeit by a narrower margin. A violation carries a maximum fine of $250.

“Last year in the state of Washington, there were 264 fires and 212 people injured due to fire-works; 89 of the fires were homes resulting in a total loss of over five million dollars,” Orcas fire chief Kevin O’Brien said. “Because of the ordi-nance approved by the voters of San Juan County and the associated dangers of fireworks, we ask people to enjoy the public displays and refrain from using personal fireworks.”

According to Sheriff Rob Nou, the emphasis in this first year of the ban will be on “education”. Enforcement has largely been complaint-driven in the past and typically involved fireworks that have been illegal for years, such as Roman Candles or bottle rockets, he noted.

Personal fireworks are now a thing of the past, like horse-and-buggy days and stickball on city streets. For nostalgic people — mostly men — it’s a shame. For dogs and people with cedar-shin-gled houses, and for parents worried a child will come home without a finger, it’s a big relief.

The times, they are a changin’.

By Gray Cope

Perhaps no institution has done more than Orcas Power and Light Cooperative to significantly improve the lives of the people of San Juan County.

For 75 years OPALCO has been a beneficent monopoly. OPALCO boards have made many good decisions. It has many great employees and the quality of service is excellent.

OPALCO now stands at a crossroads and it wants to spend an estimated $18 million to build the towers and infrastructure to support cellular service, wireless broad-band Internet, reduce dead zones in emergency commu-nications, and make Smart Grid improvements. Only the latter truly fits within the stated mission of OPALCO to provide “safe, reliable, cost effective and environmentally sensitive electric utility services.”

How much will it cost you?OPALCO has stated you might see a $10 per month

increase in your monthly charge; $18 million divided by 14,500 meters in the county gives $1,241 billed to every meter suggesting a 10 year payback period. This can be reduced if the operating income can decrease the debt.

This wireless broadband expansion will more than dou-ble our total debt and massively increase OPALCO’s utility plant by 36 percent (based on 2011 annual report) and will increase maintenance costs.

What should we do?I’ve set up a discussion forum online and my hope is to

continue a civil and thoughtful exploration of this question. Due to word length restrictions I will touch on some here.

1) It is unfair for OPALCO to pass its wireless broad-band expansion onto struggling lower income families and those who cannot get or do not want this non-essential and optional wireless system. It needs to have an opt out or be covered by the rate structure. The decision to pro-ceed should be based on a vote of the entire well-informed membership, not just seven board members.

2) Now that towers will soon be allowed (possibly by June 26) let the cellular companies pay for them.

3) OPALCO should allow emergency repeater whip antennae to be installed on our existing poles. The county should pay for this.

4) OPALCO needs to do a more careful analysis of the local broadband and ISP market. If they have a business plan, they need to share it with us so we understand what we are buying into before deciding to proceed.

5) OPALCO needs to actually consult all the existing

ISPs and broadband providers to understand the actual size of our market and to decide if they really want to com-pete against them all, or become a broadband backbone supplier and incentivise other companies to improve their broadband delivery to us. OPALCO could end up building an under utilized wireless broadband network and cause job losses at local ISPs.

6) OPALCO may need to make a management para-digm shift from monopolist to competitor in order to be successful in this county’s broadband market. Once it is determined how much OPALCO’s wireless broadband will cost per month, it may prove less desirable to many and the market potential may be a small fraction of what they think it will be.

7) Realize that broadband Internet does not equate in a simple way to the unemployed finding work here. The math is more complex. Broadband Internet widens the competitive market to induce islanders to buy off island and those high-tech workers who can benefit from broad-band are not the ones suffering the worst of the unemploy-ment. The Economic Development Council and San Juan Island Community Foundation should consider incubating island companies committed to building Internet based businesses who will utilize the local unemployed and use business models that do not export jobs out of county.

I am a technology advocate and believe broadband Internet is crucial to our county, but OPALCO’s plan may be hugely flawed. I am also saddened wireless towers will soon be marring our beautiful islands. Please join the dis-cussion online at http://opalcowireless.boards.net.

Hi-dee-hidee-ho: dinner-dance a blast

A couple years before Pearl Harbor, my 23-year-old broth-er, Stan, and I drove Grandma

Kate and Aunt Rose from Nebraska to New York City to see the 1939 Worlds Fair. It was the first time we had seen the Big Apple.

I was reminded of that trip when Helen and I attended the World War II USO Dinner-Dance fund raiser for the senior center last Wednesday night; Mullis was decorated like the Hollywood Canteen and Tom Starr and the one More Time Band were absolutely wailing. They played all those tunes which my big brother and

I enjoyed in the eve-ning when we went out on the town to check out the night life on Manhattan, 73 years ago.

Each night after our elderly compan-ions had gone to bed, we would prowl. We were staying in the

Edison Hotel in Times Square. The first night, Sept. l, was the day that Germany's troops invaded Poland with their blitzkrieg tank offensive decimating the vaunted Polish cav-alry as they charged to their death on horseback.

Hitler had signed a non-aggression pact with Stalin so that Russia could take over Eastern Poland. Poland was

conquered in about five weeks.Two parades marched down toward

Times Square, one on East and one on West Broadway... the Trotskyites opposing the Nazis, the other the Stalinites backing Russia. When they met in Times Square we could watch from our window as they started to beat each other with their placards. The mounted New York police were laughing and cheering them on. Ambulances and paddy wagons took most of the demonstrators off in an hour or so.

When the scene quieted down, Stan and I went down to have a hamburger at Jack Dempsey restaurant…

6th Grade Promotion

Journal photo / Kathryn ShermanSome members of Friday Harbor Elementary School’s sixth grade class gather for a group photo following the school’s “promotion” assembly, June 19, at FHES. It’s on to middle school, lockers and 7th grade for the group and classmates.

Journal photo / Kathryn ShermanBill & Rita Ament’s traditional Dance Happy show did not disap-point this year. Dance Happy lived up to making you laugh, cry, giggle, aah, ooh la la, smile, wiggle, wow, clap, cheer and be totally inspired. There were more than 60 local island performers, chil-dren through adults, ages 2 on up, as they entertained us in their 28th annual celebration of dance and song. The crowd went wild with Zumbatomic Kids, giggled with the “Cat & Mousies,” clapped our hands to the Rappin’ Tappers, felt the rhythm of the San Juan Island Stompers, snapped our fingers to the Swing Tappers and got happy with the colorful twirling costumes of the Monarca Mexican Dancers. And who could forget the sequined exotic Belly Dancers and the electrifying Zumba Salsa Dancers.

What’s Happening!

See CALenDAR, Page 10


A full day of 4th of July festivities will have begun well before the annual parade hits the streets of Friday Harbor.

That starts at 10:30 a.m. San Juan Island’s 2012 Independence Day celebration kicks off

instead with not just one, but with two family fun runs that take place, conveniently, on either side of the island. After that, buckle in tight and be sure to pace yourself, there’s a whole lot more in store.

But back to the beginning. The Firecracker 5000 Family Fun Run, sponsored by San Juan Island

Fitness, gets under way at 8 a.m. sharp, outside the Best Western Friday Harbor Suites, on Spring Street. The 3.1-mile course, or five kilometers for the metric-minded, follows the path of the annual Turkey Trot, also sponsored by the fitness club: Price Street to Park Street, to Marguerite, up Lampard Road, to the cone and then back to the Best Western. Day of the run registration is 7 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. at the Best Western.

On the other end of the island, Roche Harbor Resort will kick start a long list of Independence Day festivities with a Family 3.3K Family Fun Run as well. Check in by 9 a.m. at the resort’s Hotel de Haro, or earlier, to make sure you don’t get left in the dust. The Resort has a full slate of traditional and quirky holiday activities planned for the holiday, including a doughnut-eating contest, a log-rolling contest, live music and a one-of-a-kind blindfolded dinghy race, a 4th of July favorite. The fireworks show begins at 10:30 p.m.

Back in town, the theme of the 2012 4th of July parade, sponsored by San Juan Island Chamber of Commerce, is “Thank you Friday Harbor Merchants: 1872-2012.” The Grand Marshall is Vern Howard of Valmark, Inc., owner of Kings Market and the Market Place, a local company with a long history of support for community events and causes. As in the past, expect another 60-plus entries, an assort-

ment of floats, local groups and civic clubs, and perhaps a couple candidates seeking public office, to join in the parade.

Along with audience accolades, parade participants can also earn cash prizes for a variety of awards, including Best of Theme Float, $300, Judges Choice, $200, and $50 each for Best Costume Group, Best Animal in Costume, Best Theme (non-float) and Best Off Island. Signup to enter at either the Chamber of Commerce, 135, Spring St., 378-5240, or at Petro San Juan, 605 Mullis St., 378-5122.

The announcers for this year’s parade will be Jim and Minnie Kynch, and Lin Pearson of Petro San Juan who, along with wife, Pam, has organized the event for years.

The annual Pig War Picnic gets under way directly after the parade ends. Sponsored by the Kiwanis club, in partnership with Islanders Bank, Browne’s Home Center, Kings Market and six other local businesses, the picnic features live music, food, pie-eating and egg-tossing contests, a three-legged race, beer garden, more music, and opens with the telling of the tale of the Pig War by none other than General George Pickett, as portrayed by National Parks Service historian Mike Vouri.

But wait, there’s more. From Motown to Disco to New Wave, Tom Watson and The

Timebenders will be back to ‘Rock the Dock’ with their unique and energetic tribute to 40-plus years of pop music. Hosted by San Juan Island Rotary Club and sponsored by CenturyLink and Islanders Bank, the show begins at 6 p.m., at the Port of Friday Harbor parking lot. The event, a Rotary Club fundraiser, includes a food court and beer garden. Admissions is $10 adults; free for children 12 and under accompanied by an adult.

The 4th of July celebration culminates in the annual fireworks show in Friday Harbor. Sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, the fireworks display begins at 10:30 p.m. in Friday Harbor.

Around TownVolcanoes, coral, Hall-Spencer & the deep blue sea

Dr. Jason Hall-Spencer knows a thing or two about coral reefs and the deep blue sea; underwater volca-noes, too.

And, he's ready to share. Hall-

Spencer is feature speaker in the next epi-sode of the UW Friday Harbor Labs Illg Lecture Series, Sunday, July 1, The pre-sentation, “Deep Sea Coral Reefs,” is at San Juan Community Theater, 7 p.m.

Based at Plymouth University, U.K., Hall-Spencer leads a research team that this year is study-ing Arctic Ocean coral reefs, tracking fishing ves-sels by satellite to design conservation area, and examining underwater vol-canoes in tropical and tem-perate seas to help predict the effects and relation-ship of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and

ocean acidification. For more about Dr. Hall-

Spencer and his research, visit www.plymouth.ac.uk/staff/jhall-spencer

The Illg Distinguished Lecturer Series is presented in honor of former UW zoology professor Paul Illg. The series is funded through an endowment established through memo-rial gifts by the Illg family, friends and colleagues. For info, 378-2165 ext. 11.

San Juan Island’s mixed-race history explored

The life and times of Nora Jewell were marked by great transition and challenge, as were those of many women of mixed-race in San Juan Island’s pioneer era.

On Saturday, Dr. Katrina Jagodinsky of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will explore and discuss the political and cultural land-scape that faced women of mixed ancestry (Native American and European), and their families, in a pre-sentation entitled: “The Family Jewell: A Metis History of San Juan Island and Puget Sound.”

Jagodinsky traces the life of Nora Jewell, born on San

Juan Island around 1864 and noted as one of the first mixed-race women to seek justice in Washington’s ter-ritorial legal system. She spotlight the struggle that Metis women endured to maintain their identity and independence in a period of monumental transition.

An assistant professor of history, Jagodinsky is writ-ing a comparative history of Native women’s use of the legal system in Washington and Arizona, 1854-1935.

The presentation, 6 p.m., is free; suggested donation is $5.

New spin on classic tale, Mizz’ theater style

Shows: 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets: $19 adults, $9 stu-dent reserved, $5 student RUSH (day of the show).

A familiar face in the island’s performing arts scene, Missoula Children’s Theater has toured the country for nearly 40 years, bringing team of actors and directors into more than 1,200 communities each year, including San Juan.

Artistry of Elton Bennett on display

The Elton Bennett Estate Art Show and Sale sets sail July 4, at the Shaw Island General Store Annex, at the Shaw ferry landing.

The works of Elton Bennett, widely renown as a master of the silkscreen medium, will be both on exhibit and for sale as part of four-day event presented by the Bennett estate.

Born in 1910, in Hoquiam, Wash., Bennett created imag-es of the ocean, mountains and waterways of the Pacific Northwest that capture the beauty and essence of an earlier era, when tall ships ruled the seas. His subjects include fishing trollers, ghostly clam diggers, tall ships and buoys, floating logs and rainforest enclaves.

He produced 167 original pieces and hundreds of varia-tions during a 24-year career as an artist.

Bennett and his wife, Flora, died in a plane crash in 1974. His remaining original works were placed in a trust that later became the property of his daughters. The bulk of those originals will be donated to The Polson Museum in Hoquiam, where plans are underway to create a building

dedicated to exhibiting Bennett’s work.The show and sale begin daily at 9 a.m., July 4-7. For

more information, contact Barbara Bennett Parson, (360) 532-3235, or [email protected]. To view Bennett’s silkscreens, www.eltonbennett.com.

Contributed imageBennet created many variations on a theme, such as the harbor and tall ships depicted above in “Return to River”.
