Ghostly remnants emerge from the sea By Cali Bagby
When Tom Averna looked down into the water next to his boat, he saw an object that looked out of place. He fished it out, and was surprised to find what appeared to be a survey stake with Asian characters on it – a possible remnant from the tsunami that ravaged Japan last year. “Just goes to show the power of the ocean currents,” said Averna, owner of Deer Harbor Charters on Orcas. And it’s not just small items that are floating toward Pacific Northwest shores. A rusty 164-foot Japanese fishing ship was spotted adrift off Haida Gwaii Islands in late March. The vessel is one of several being tracked by authorities after the March 2011 quake, which registered magnitude 9.0, and tsunami. Together, the events killed more that 15,000 people in northeast Japan. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and its partners have iden-
tified at least three vessels, including the one in Canada, which were likely set adrift because of the tsunami. Canadian media reported in early May that a Harley-Davidson, with Japanese plates from one of the hardest hit areas, was found on the Haida Gwaii islands also off the coast of British Columbia. And a surge of debris is washing up on Alaska’s coastline including hundreds of black buoys. Even more disturbing, one oceanographer expects that human bones may wash up on northwest shores. The Japanese government estimated that the tsunami swept about 5 million tons of debris into the ocean, but that 70 percent sank off shore, leaving 1.5 million tons floating. There is no estimate of how much debris is still floating today. What does that mean for Lopez?

al,” which won the bank the right to purchase the county’s $810,000 general obligation bond. Islander’s Bank was founded in San Juan County in 1980 and, though it was acquired by Banner Bank in 2007, it operates under local management and a local board of directors. “This is a good deal for the council and a good investment for our local bank,” said County Administrator Pete Rose. “It’s a genuine ‘win-win’ situation for the people of San Juan County.” The proceeds of the bond sale will cover the debt accumulated by the county’s solid waste utility in 2009 and 2010. During that
time, the operation faced expensive capital projects required to keep its transfer stations operating – then saw the volume of waste, and its revenue stream, drop dramatically as the economy contracted. Rose called the bond sale “an action of finality for preparing the county to move beyond an uncertain financial period in solid waste.” The bonds interest rate for the 15-year bond is fixed at 3.125 percent. The annual principal and interest payment will be approximately $65,000. Though the county is required to pledge its full faith and credit to repay the bond, the council has
stated it will cover the cost of the payments with excise tax revenue collected from the franchise solid waste hauler. The franchise hauler will handle most of the garbage and recycling that residents now drop off at county facilities. Requests for proposals for private operation of the county’s current drop-off facilities are now being prepared, but both the county and the franchise hauler are preparing for the possibility that the facilities could be closed if no acceptable proposals are received. The transition from primarily drop off to roadside collection is scheduled to begin late this summer.

News briefs San Juan man faces trio of felony sex crimes
A San Juan Island man accused of having sex with a teenage girl several times in the past two years will stand trial on multiple felony charges in July. On May 9, Kristian K. Sakstrup, 20, pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of second-degree rape of a child, a Class A felony, and to two counts of third degree rape, a Class B felony, and to violation of a sexual assault protection order. He was released on $5,000 bail pending a July 9 trial date.
Prosecutors claim that Sakstrup was 18 when he first had sex with the girl in December 2009. She was 13 at that time. The two had been friends for several years and sexually involved before they began a dating relationship a year ago in August, according to charging documents. The girl, now 16, reportedly informed a counselor in late March of this year that she had recently been sexually assaulted by Sakstrup. Authorities were alerted by the counselor about the series of alleged assaults. The age of consent for a minor in Washington state is 16.

Here’s what we islanders do for each other. We make meals when a new baby arrives or when someone goes through chemotherapy. When a family’s house burns down, we give shelter and help build a new one. Some of us mentor school kids, others drive shuttle buses for seniors, and many serve on the boards of nonprofits. But we’re missing the boat when it comes to one important way to help our communities – immunizations. Earlier this year, two health reports singled out San Juan County. The first, a survey by the University of Wisconsin’s Population Health Institute, named ours the healthiest county in Washington State, citing our low rates of adult obesity and smoking. Around the same time, the “New England Journal of Medicine” reported that San Juan County is the worst in the nation when it comes to vaccinating children, with only 28 percent of kindergartners and 11 percent of sixth graders meeting school vaccine requirements. These numbers are troubling in light of Gov. Gregoire’s recent announcement of a statewide pertussis (whooping cough) epidemic. She projects we’re headed for 3,000 cases this year, an alarming jump over the 965 reported in 2011. Pertussis is a highly contagious bacterial infection that usually starts with mild cold symptoms. For young children, it typically causes uncontrollable coughing spells, followed by gagging

HOW A BELOVED SEATTLE MARKET HELPS TO FEED THE NEEDS OF
AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
When the owners of Uwajimaya Market wanted to relocate and enlarge an existing store in downtown Seattle, they turned to Bank of America. Since the 1950s, they’ve relied on us for financing to expand their operations, open new locations and grow their business. As a result, they’ve been able to better serve their customers, provide more jobs and strengthen their role as a focal point for the region’s diverse Asian community. Uwajimaya Market is another example of how we’re working to help small businesses grow and hire in the Puget Sound — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222.5 million in new credit to small businesses in Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010.

Youth spoke out at Town Hall Meeting Students stood onstage in the dark, flashlights illuminating their faces as they spoke. Some statements were encouraging: “Approximately 70 percent of tenth graders don’t drink.” Many were not: “It’s easy for us to have an older person buy us alcohol on short notice.” “Using prescription drugs to deal with stress is common.” “Since no one listens to me, I do bad things to be noticed.” These are just a few of the facts shared by a group of local high school students on May 11 at Youth Speak Out, a town hall meeting sponsored by the Lopez Island Prevention Coalition. The meeting was not an open forum, and there was no discussion following the students’ presentation. “Our goal was not necessarily to encourage immediate reactions to what the kids said,” said Della McCullough, LIPC Youth Engagement Facilitator. “Our goal was to spur an ongoing, community-wide discussion about the teenage experience on Lopez – or at least to show the community that there is a need for such a discussion.” But the evening wasn’t all about students’ struggles. It was also about the positive ways youth are making a difference in the community. Hannah Hobi was one of four girls who shared about being student EMTs.

incumbents running for reelection and will not be resolved until the November general election. For the state senate position, first-term incumbent Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, will be challenged by John Swapp of Decatur Island and Jim Cozad of Bellingham. In 2010, Swapp ran against state Rep. Jeff Morris, garnering 43 percent of the vote. In the race for Congress from the re-designed 2nd congressional district, six-term incumbent Rick Larsen faces five opponents. Republicans Dan Matthews of Everett, Eli Olsen of Marysville, and John C.W. Shoop of Conway have filed, as have Mike Lapointe of Everett and Glen S. Johnson of Mount Vernon.

“It’s really cool to be able to go and help the community in that way,” she said. The meeting also served as a wrap-up for the Draw the Line campaign, an effort to draw the line between youth and alcohol in the community. The Drug-Related Education Awareness Mentors Team, a group of middle and high school students, thanked the community for supporting the campaign and presented awards to Lopez Village Market, Islandale, and the Lopez Liquor Store for their compliance with state laws regarding alcohol advertising. Attendees had the opportunity to participate by filling out surveys about their perceptions of underage drinking in the community and by signing “hero cards” indicating their commitment to drawing the line between youth and alcohol. After the event, McCullough said, “I’m very proud of the youth and their efforts to inform the community of the issues they are facing on this island.” She added that the students’ statements have been posted on the LIPC website and can be accessed by going to lopezislandpreventioncoalition.com and clicking “Youth Speak Out” in the menu bar. “If you didn’t attend, I hope you’ll take the time to read what the kids had to say,” she said.
Matthews, the Republican establishment favorite, is expected to prevail in the primary and face Larsen in November. For the state House, firstterm incumbent Kristine Lytton, D-Anacortes, is unopposed in Position 1. In Position 2, 16-year veteran Jeff Morris, D-Mount Vernon, is opposed by Howard Pellett of Anacortes, who identifies himself with the Green Party.
If all these filings make you wonder how much it costs to run for public office, or about the salary for each office, the filing fee is 1 percent of the annual salary for the office. For the U.S. Senate, that amounts to a fee of $1,740. For governor, $1,668.91. For Superior Court, $1,488.32. For County Council, $337.19. Just move the decimal point two places to the right to determine the salary of the office in question.

Sheriff’s Log San Juan County Sheriff’s Department reported responding to these calls: May 3: A pistol found in the purse of a woman who passed out in a Friday Harbor grocery store, and who was shuttled to a medical center for treatment, was confiscated by a deputy and taken to Sheriff’s headquarters for safekeeping. The 27-yearold reportedly was reportedly highly intoxicated at the time she passed out, shortly before 6 p.m. The pistol was discovered among the woman’s belongings as a deputy searched her purse for identification. May 9: Excessive speed and a pair of warrants prompted the arrest of an Orcas Island man following a mid-afternoon traffic stop on Olga Road. The 33-year-old, who reportedly failed to appear in court twice, once for a driving under the influence charge and also for a public nuisance-related offense, was taken into custody in the 3,200 block of Olga Road at about 2:30 p.m. He was also ticketed for speeding. May 10: A bank bag and about $600 cash disappeared from a westside Orcas Island restaurant in an apparent case of theft. With no sign of a forced entry, authorities suspect that the thief had inside information about the combination to the West Sound Cafe’s kitchen door. May 11: A late night altercation between two San Juan Island sisters led to the arrest of the younger one. The 22-year-old, ushered out of a Friday Harbor bar about 30 minutes earlier by a deputy because of a court order prohibiting her from drinking, was taken into custody at her Argyle Avenue home shortly before midnight. Distraught over the encounter at the bar, she had reportedly been consoled by her
older sister at that time. – A San Juan Island man convicted of felony assault for bludgeoning a stranger on the back of the head in a Friday Harbor bar, in a case of mistaken identity, was arrested after returning to that same establishment less than a year later. The 23-year-old, who was reportedly told to leave after showing up in the bar, was taken into custody shortly before 9 p.m. for criminal trespass and assorted probation violations. May 13: Excessive speed prompted a pair of traffic tickets for a San Juan Island woman, and a criminal citation, following an early evening traffic stop near the north end of Roche Harbor Road. The 24-year-old, who was pulled over near the intersection of Roche Harbor Road and Westcott Drive, was ticketed for speeding and driving without insurance, and was issued a criminal citation for driving with a suspended license. – A San Juan Island man’s pickup vanished from a Turn Point Road marina in an apparent case of theft. The 56-year-old’s ‘97 GMC Jimmy contained about $200 worth of tools at the time it went missing from Shipyard Cove. May 14: Errant driving prompted the arrest of an Orcas Island man for DUI following an early morning traffic stop on Mount Baker Road. The 47-year-old, who was pulled over in the 500 block shortly before 9 a.m., reportedly had let a tire on his pickup drift into the oncoming lane of traffic as a patrol car was headed in his direction. – A familiar face and a warrant led to the arrest of an Orcas Island man following an encounter with a deputy at a Crescent
Obituary: Colonel Roy Moore Jr. Roy Moore Jr., Colonel, U.S. Army (Ret), a long time resident of Lopez Island passed away May 10, 2012 in his home at the age of 90 years. Roy was born on October 29,1921, in Grand Junction, Colo., where he was instilled with the values and convictions that served to build his self-reliant, highly ethical and moral behavior over nine decades. He was a genuine World War II hero who fought with valor for his beloved country. As a young officer in the 735th Tank Battalion and part of Patton’s 3rd Army, he engaged in battles across Europe. His unit fought through the Normandy breakout, the battle of Metz, Battle of the Bulge and the crossing of the Rhine River into Germany. Over the ensuing three decades he went on to achieve a distinguished militar y career. During his years of ser vice he earned the Silver Star and Bronze Star, the Legion of Merit, a Joint Services Commendation Medal and the Belgian Fourragere. He was also awarded the French Legion of Honor in
February 2012 during a ceremony on Lopez Island. Roy married his beloved wife Eleanor in 1949 several years after her first husband was killed during the Anzio landings in Italy. They went on to travel the world throughout Roy’s military career and continued to travel extensively after his retirement. Roy and Eleanor bought property on Lopez Island in the early 60’s and built and lived there beginning in 1972. He was one of the founders of the Lopez Lions Club. Roy has supported the local medical clinic and EMT program, The Thrift Shop, Lopez School, the Historical Society and Woodmen Hall amongst other community organizations and ser vices. He has always responded with good works and generosity. For years his name was synonymous with Hunters Education. An avid outdoorsman Roy was a master fisherman with membership in the prestigious Tyee Club. A bona ďŹ de “Man for all Ages,â€? Roy was also an artist, skilled engraver and an
accomplished author. Roy rarely missed a chance to support his island neighbors and no community project was too small. Many residents and visitors alike are indebted to him for his arrangement of the annual spring stocking of rainbow trout in Hummel Lake. He hoped that starting the program would give young and old alike a chance to practice good sportsmanship while becoming avid fishermen. Lopez has been greatly enriched by his presence and he will be missed by the many people he touched. Roy was buried with full military honors at Lopez Island Union Cemetery after a service in Center Church on May 19, 2012.

in Japan,” offered by The Stewardship Network of the San Juans, June 1, 6:30 p.m. at the Lopez Center for Community and the Arts. Dr. Jan Newton will lead a discussion on ocean currents, storm patterns, marine debris and our inland waters. It’s highly unlikely the debris is radioactive – most of it was miles away from the damaged reactor, and the leak of contaminated water from the reactor into the sea started days to weeks after the debris was washed out to sea, according to NOAA. Keeley Belva of NOAA said the program is working with federal, state and local partners to collect data, assess the debris, and reduce possible impacts to natural resources and coastal communities.

NOAA originally predicted items from the tsunami would begin washing up on shores in the Pacific Northwest in 2013. Those were rough estimates based on forecasted ocean conditions and reports of debris from fishing and commercial vessels. NOAA researchers are currently relying on computer models to predict the debris’ path and drift rate. The bulk of debris is still believed to be north of the main Hawaiian Islands and east of the Midway Atoll. NOAA predicts that pieces of wood, plastic and other remnants from the tsunami will show up on Pacific beaches for decades to come. “If people find debris that can easily and safely be disposed of, we ask that they do so,” Belva said. “However if it’s personal items or something that looks like it can be returned to an owner, or other significant debris, the sighting can be reported to NOAA.”

by a witness who alerted authorities about the man’s location while in transit. At the time of his arrest, the man – pulled over near the intersection of Argyle Avenue and Spring Street shortly after 8 a.m.– reportedly told a deputy that he was just headed back to the ferry landing to check on the ferry worker whom he had hit.
As for the 164-foot “ghost ship,” a U.S. Coast Guard cutter unleashed cannon fire on the vessel in April. It sank into waters more than 6,000 feet deep in the Gulf of Alaska. People cleaning up shorelines are urged to be careful of sharp objects that could cut your hands; avoid picking up sealed containers of chemicals – they may crack or break and spill the contents on you. Likewise, report any full drum on the beach, and avoid handling it. For Averna, finding this remnant of such a disaster on Orcas gave him an eerie feeling that flotsam has survived when so many people have not. “I thought that whoever put that stake in the ground might be gone,” said Averna. “Finding this really gave it more of a reality for me.” Report debris to DisasterDebris@ noaa.gov.
