Ruckus over reservations Flurry of complaints unfold as WSF seeks to fine-tune its program By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

If you’re feeling stressed out or frustrated about making reservations to ride the ferries, well, you’re not alone. A crossfire of complaints greeted representatives of the state ferry system and local elected officials at a recent reservation system public outreach session. The lion’s share of the standing-room-only crowd at the April 9 meeting at the Mullis Street fire station, a WSF-led information gathering event, found little solace in statistics showing the reservation system led to an overall reduction in overloads and decrease in traffic congestion since its launch at the start the winter sailing schedule. Nor did many seemed swayed by results of a recent “reservation-holder” survey, in which more than 75 percent of 4,248 respondents said WSF’s reservation website is “easy to use” and more than 80 percent described the terminal “check-in” system as either “good” or “excellent” (the survey, sent out to 14,626 reservation-holders, generated a 28 per-

cent rate-of-response). Instead, most in the room, about 55 in all, echoed sentiments similar to those shared by Steven King, and would prefer to see the whole system scrapped. “It’s not working for us,” said King, an island resident of 22 years and self-described non-user of computers or cell-phones. “Our life has been changed, not necessarily by the legislature but by the ferry system itself. I’m going to work against that.” Even early converts have found themselves frustrated when complications beyond their control arise. “It was working for me, until this last Wednesday,” said Marie DiCristina, who accompanied a friend to a medical appointment off-island that lasted longer that expected. They missed a reserved sailing and a series of aggravations followed, including failed attempts to make a change in reservations via the telephone, she said. Given the growing number of internet security breeches, David Eden described having to use a credit card to make a reservation as “outrageous.”

Complaints come in all size

The list of grievances ranged from the specific, such as the reliance on credit cards and internet See RESERVATIONS, Page 4

Some sailors dream of south pacific landfalls, while others hope to round Cape Horn. For full-time live aboard sailor Chris Troutner, a life of sailing and self-sufficiency, with a homeport in the San Juan Islands, will do just fine. “I’ve worked my whole life to live in this place,” said the 32-yearold Troutner. “I feel like it’s been this slow migration north.” And north he will continue to go, through the San Juans and Gulf Islands, into Desolation Sound and onwards towards Alaska all beginning, well, now. Troutner cut the proverbial dock lines from his marina slip in Anacortes the first week of April. Getting to this point was a long time coming, eight years in the making, even earlier if you count from when he first developed an affinity for the islands. It all started as an adolescent. Born and raised outside of Portland, Ore., Troutner took his first trip to Sucia Island when he was seven. From then on he begged his parents to take a San Juan vacation or send him to his aunt and uncle’s house in Bellingham for one week every summer. Troutner graduated from college with a degree in electrical engineering and went straight to work, but never lost touch with his original intention to spend as much time as possible in the islands. In fact, it intensified. He decided he wanted to live in the area full time. Post college graduation in Oregon, Troutner worked his way north to Seattle. From mega-cor-

p orat ions to little start-ups, he was paying dues in the workforce until everything changed. “ I ’ v e worked for some really Chris Troutner good companies, but working in a cube has been hell,” he said. “I don’t have the temperament to be a good employee.” So, he began engineering, building and selling electrical bicycles and a customer offered to trade a sailboat for a custom-built bike.

Passion for politics, soft spot for friends Odds were that you wouldn’t see eye-to-eye, regardless of the topic, and that he might try to “get your goat.” But the chances were even better that any discussion or debate with Bill LaPorte would be a pleasure. The former Friday Harbor mayor (1994-97) and San Juan County Councilman (2000-03), an avid motorcycle enthusiast and champion of the once heralded San Juan Island jazz festival, died of natural causes at home, onboard his boat, the Miss East Tawas, Monday, April 6. He was 77. LaPorte had recently returned to the island after learning in September he had suffered a heart attack, and spending several months recuperating at the home of his eldest daughter, Bridgette, in Bothell. “He was a fighter,” Bridgette said. “And very political, he was always that way. And he had a great sense of humor.” Humor would prove one of the most oft-used instruments in the LaPorte toolbox, along with an infectious enthusiasm and unbridled energy, according to King Fitch. Fitch, who served five different mayors during a 25-yeartenure managing the Friday Harbor business affairs, said when all was said and done that LaPorte’s political priorities took a backseat to his fondness for cultivating friendships. He embodied the very idea of the “everyday common man,” Fitch said. Born in Bay City, Mich., second in a family of nine chil-

dren, LaPorte migrated to San Juan Island more than 30 years ago. The father of three daughters and a foster son, and grandfather of six, he made a living in a variety of occupations over the years and gravitated with ease into the arena of local politics. The town council honored LaPorte last week by naming the Town Fire Association’s 1923 Cadillac fire engine Contributed photo / Friday Harbor “The Bill LaPorte.” Bill LaPorte, Friday Harbor The longtime owner of mayor, 1994-97, died April 6 Sea-Cure Services, a local fire safety company, LaPorte long-held the position of president of the Friday Harbor Fighters Association. “We are proud to honor him and his many years of service and friendship by designating his favorite fire engine as his namesake,” Mayor Carrie Lacher said in a press release. “He will be deeply missed.” The town unveil “The Bill LaPorte” later this year. — Scott Rasmussen

Lopez man, suspect in local fraud case, dies in Island County jail The death of an inmate at Island County Jail, a 25-year-old man with ties to the San Juan Islands, is under investigation by authorities on Whidbey Island. The Island County Sheriff ’s Office and Island County coroner are looking into the death of Keaton Farris, a Lopez Island resident who, according the Whidbey News-Times, a sister paper of the Journal, was found dead in his jail cell April 8, shortly after midnight. He was by himself in a socalled “safety room” at the jail at the time of his death, according to Island County Sheriff Mark Brown. An autopsy was expected to be performed late last week, Brown said. According to the sheriff, Farris was a suspect in an identity theft case originating in San Juan County and

had been incarcerated in the Coupeville detention facility since March 26. San Juan County Sheriff Ron Krebs said a warrant had been issued Farris’ arrest in connection with a case of alleged fraud and that he was apprehended in Snohomish County and then transferred to a Skagit County jail, where two local deputies picked him up and then escorted him to Coupeville. He proved difficult to control and his behavior problematic while in custody, Krebs said. “He required a multiple

officer response on every stop along the way,” he said. He was being held in lieu of $10,000 bail and had been ordered to undergo a

mental health evaluation to determine whether he was competent to stand trial, according to court records. — Scott Rasmussen

Reservations: Continued from page 1 connections, ineffective customer-service lines and noshow fees, to the general: reservations favor tourists over islanders, snuff out spontaneity in travel, and will harm the local economy when the system snaps under the weight of the busy summer season. Brian Churchwell, vehicle reservations system program manager, said the reservation program remains a work in progress and feedback from a series of public outreach session (one was held March 13 on Orcas Island) will help WSF fine-tune the system. “We know it’s not perfect,” Churchwell said. “We’ve heard you and we’re conscious of that.” Six years in the making, or more, the full-fledged reservation system went into effect in the San Juans Jan. 5, in conjunction with the start of the winter sailing schedule. Though similar in concept, it operates differently than the Port Townsend-Keystone reservation system in that 90 percent of the auto-space of any sailing is available for reservations and time-released in 30 percent increments, beginning with each season’s schedule change, then two weeks

prior to any sailing and then two days before. Reservations can be made up to two hours prior to any sailing; ten percent remains available for medical priority loading and those without reservations. Under Port Townsend-Keystone system, first launched in 2008 and overhauled in 2012, up to 80 percent of auto-space can be reserved and the entire amount is available when the schedule changes each season.

Remedy for cash-strapped agency

An element of Washington State Ferries long-range plan, a directive handed down by the legislature in 2007, deployment of a reservation system is expected to help WSF better utilize its existing assets—boats, terminals and parking lots—while meeting an anticipated growth in ridership. By design, reservations are intended to usher travelers away from peak-demand sailings and toward those at other times of the day that historically have been less populated. According to WSF, 55,000 vehicle reservations were used between Jan. 5 and Feb. 28. Nearly half of those reservations were made the day before a sailing and a majority, 81 percent, were made within seven days. Roughly 1,000 reservations are redeemed each day in the San Juans. County Councilman Rick Hughes, Orcas Island, hopes

Continued from page 1 He accepted the deal. The boat, a 25-foot U.S. Yacht, opened Troutner up to a different way of life. He fell in love with sailing but soon became dissatisfied with weekend trips. He wanted to live on the water full-time, in the San Juan Islands. He moved to Orcas Island in 2009 and started looking for a boat as a home base. He found his current boat, Solace, a 27-foot U.S. Yacht,

and moved to Anacortes for yet another desk job. But there was light at the end of the tunnel. He was living aboard full-time, exploring the Salish Sea, honing his skills as an outdoorsman and outfitting his boat for an extended adventure. His goals evolved from simply living in the San Juans to a lifestyle of minimal money, maximum leisure time, and self-sufficiency. He harnesses the wind and sun to power his boat See HOME, Page 5

Alley design wins merit award If you’re unfamiliar with what’s in store for Friday Harbor’s Sunshine Alley, you might want to take a peek at the blueprint. As it turns out, it’s an award winner. Commissioned by the Town of Friday Harbor, the Sunshine Alley Revitalization Plan earned a 2015 Merit Award from the Northwest Washington chapter of the American Institute of Architects. The chapter’s design awards honor the best architectural work by architects in Island, San Juan, Skagit and Whatcom counties. Sunshine Alley’s revitalization design was developed by HKP Architects, working in conjunction with Beckwith Consulting and SVR

Design Company. “The award recognizes the designers’ professional excellence and the cooperation demonstrated by the town in demanding the highest of architectural standards,” Friday Harbor Administrator Duncan said. “The Town has greatly benefited from the quality of this work.” According to the AIA, award-winning projects represent the finest standards in sustainability, innovation, building performance and overall integration with the client and surrounding community. Judging is based on design quality, functional utility, accessibility, aesthetic delight, sustainability, creativity and innovation, as well

been circulating earlier in Olympia that would have extended the winter sailing schedule by two months and thereby reduce carrying capacity in the San Juans as a result. He elicited support of legislatures in nine other ferry-served counties and together penned a letter that, for now, quashed that plan. “I’m cautiously optimistic it will work,” Hughes said. “If not, and it hurts our economy, then we’ll fight to get it removed. It may not be perfect but I think we have to work with it.”

The programs help keep our community healthy by providing exercise classes and events, some specifically tailored for our seniors. Island Rec is the only entity on San Juan Island

currently funding school sports. Youth sports help keep our kids healthy and in shape, and teach them how to work as part of a team. Also, Island Rec maintains the Fairgrounds playground, Eddie & Friends Dog Park, the LaFarge Open Space (former gravel pit). Our parks are a reason why people visit and want to live here. There is no other funding to maintain these parks. After 31 years supporting our residents and keeping us healthy, Island Rec now needs our help to pass a levy to continue the same great programs as before and expand the community ballfields. The Board and staff of San Juan County Economic Development Council urge you to vote yes for this important levy. VICTORIA COMPTON EDC executive director

Startled by butts on the beach

L ast Saturday, Soroptimists cleaned Jackson Beach, a project that we’ve done every other month for some time now. We were struck by the number of cigarette butts (filters) that we picked up both on the beach and in the parking lot. Out of curiosity, I looked to The Tobacco Atlas, the 5th edition in 2014, for information regarding cigarette butts. This Atlas is created by the American Cancer Society and the World Lung Association. It was stated that in 2014, more than 5.8 trillion cigarettes were smoked, which equates to 1.69-billion pounds of “toxic rubbish.” Estimates of from 8 months to 10 years for butts to totally disintegrate have

been made. The time factor is dependent on the content that make up the butts themselves and the environment in which they were tossed. As we participate in the Great Island Clean-

up (April 18) it’s helpful to remember this from the Atlas: “Internationally cigarette filters (which are generally not biodegradable) are the single-most collected item in beach cleanups.

Material that leaches out of these filters is toxic to aquatic life.” GAY GRAHAM San Juan Island

As I See It

Co-op teeters on a slippery slope By Chom Greacen Special to the Journal

n my column last week, “What lies behind OPALCO’s utility rate hikes?” pg. 9)I presented evidence that challenged OPALCO’s claim of broadband having little to do with the steep rate increases. OPALCO’s attempt to hide its charitable but costly act of “facilitating” broadband under the “electrical” rug not only causes hardships on membership, but also violates our trust. The cost of OPALCO’s current broadband adventure seems not that different from the failed broadband plan that OPALCO put forward to the membership two years ago. The key differences are: two years ago, we at least had a chance to see the business plan with known impacts on the rates ($15/member/month across membership plus additional fees for subscribers), and we were given the opportunity to vote yay or nay with our checkbook. Now, there is very little transparency of information regarding OPALCO’s broadband costs, plans and rate impacts. The electricity fixed charges have been approved

to rise to $78/month by 2019, an increase of $50/member/ month from 2014. Worse, the member-owners have no say this time: it’s either pay up or have electricity disconnected because it is no longer affordable. What is more alarming is that rising costs and investments, including OPALCO’s provision of a $7.5 million loan to the new broadband company, have pushed OPALCO financially close to the brink. For the first time in four decades, OPALCO was unable to meet a loan interest coverage ratio (called “TIER”) and thus violated its loan covenants. It took OPALCO 40 years to bring TIER up to above 5 (very healthy). To let TIER slide below the required minimum of 1.25 in three years is quite a blunder. To appease its lender, the OPALCO Board approved a “cost recovery charge” mechanism whereby future shortfalls in revenues will be calculated monthly and recovered through increases in the monthly fixed charge on every members’ bill. Doesn’t this seem like a “blank check”? OPALCO is on a dangerous, slippery slope. In hindsight, it was no surprise

Editor’s notebook

once bitten, twice shy Confusion Recalibrate: Playing fast and loose with facts has its costs won’t cut it with would-be ‘letters’

f you’re having trouble making sense of the many facts, figures, moving parts and the overall financial state of the union at Orcas Power & Light Cooperative, you’re not alone. We’re right there with you. The numbers by themselves are enough to make one’s head spin: $15 million submarine cable replacement, $1.4 million revenue shortfall, $11 monthly facility charge (rounded up) for starters, $7.5 million loan to “acquire” and partner with a for-profit local internet service provider (intended to be a money maker), 9-percent rate hike, 12-percent revenue increase for 2015 and projected revenue increase of $28 million by 2019. That’s a lot of dollar signs to keep track of. And then, trying to weigh the analyses and wildly conflicting conclusions by folks that know much more than we do about benefits and costs associated with the delivery of electricity, fiberoptics and broadband, and about what all these investments and strategies portend for the future, is enough to give one whiplash (get a taste of how divergent many of these analyses and opinions are by going to the Journal website). Two positions are up for election on the OPALCO board of directors. Four candidates are vying for those two spots. The board sets policies and rates for the power co-op. Late last year it approved a $728,000 payout to co-op members of 25 years or longer, known as “capital credits,” presumably because the co-op’s financial condition is just fine. We encourage the powers that be at OPALCO to do whatever possible, and quickly, to set up a forum led by the general manager and board of directors so that members of the power cooperative can ask and have questions answered. We’d also encourage readers to take a close look at the OPALCO’s recent explanation about rates and revenue, if you haven’t already. (it’s a paid advertisement, you’ll find it on page 12 of the April 8 edition). Credit OPALCO for offering it up. It says that the increase is necessary due to the following: warming temperatures, expensive submarine cables projects, shifting energy-usage patterns and grid control backbone expansion to meet near future needs. The co-op acknowledges in that piece that its new rate structure is likely to create “real hardship” and that it’s the “right thing” to do. It also says, with regard to questions and concerns form members, that it’s listening. There’s nothing wrong with listening, but we’ll suggest a bit more dialogue would prove beneficial for all.

By Scott Rasmussen Journal Editor

indsight is 20-20, so the saying goes. With that in mind, it’s clear that we should not have published a letter-to-the editor which appeared in the opinion pages of the April 8 edition of the Journal, “Art endangered by IMA shortfalls.” Here’s why: Yes, the opinion pages of the Journal are indeed a platform dedicated to an open-ended, free-flowing, largely uncensored exchange of ideas, sentiments and, as the title suggests, opinions, be they right, wrong or indifferent, popular or otherwise. We encourage that. At the same time, participation in that forum demands some degree of responsibility for those seeking publication to not fabricate a point by stretching the truth or playing fast and loose with facts. That’s cheating. In the letter cited above, the author draws conclusions and makes a series of unfavorable and potentially harmful indictments based on erroneous statements of material fact. Whether done by oversight, mistake or by design is not the point. When words appear in print, they stick. In this instance, little or no effort was made in distinguishing opinion from fact by a writer who purportedly main-

tains some level of expertise in a highly specialized field in which our familiarity is rather limited, to say the least. More importantly, the shortfalls cited do not reflect reality and conclusions made are therefore more than just speculative, they’re off-base. Call it a retraction, if you’d like. It doesn’t necessarily fit the definition, but we’re fine with that, if putting such a name to it helps. We didn’t author the piece, but we did let it pass through the gate. A greater vigilance on our part may be required over the contents of “letters” submitted for publication. We’ll see. While we wouldn’t want to create more work for ourselves, and we certainly won’t be “fact-checking” letters, and we wouldn’t want to discourage a lively, healthy give-andtake of public discourse over issues and events of the day, our guard is up just the same. If you have an ax to grind, that’s fine. Bring it on. We’d like to hear it. Others may too. But if you get to a point of thinking that the grinding might be even that much more provocative by distorting this fact or that, well, we don’t plan to be a party to it. Questions? Comments? Concerns? As always, feel free to contact the editor. Contact info on page 6.

Leaders wanting in a world led by insanity — Submitted by Friends of the Constitution, San Juans

The state of the world is without doubt in serious trouble. I submit that Albert Einstein defined the problem profoundly and simply with two similar quotes: “Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results,” and, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” These two quotes are simply stated, profound in their meaning, but seldom acted upon. However, the quotes fit well with our upcoming 2016 elections. The potential presidential candidates are professional politicians, skilled at using the flawed Electoral College and the electoral campaign finance laws to pander to rich donors and supporters. We know in advance that the goal of the majority of the candidates is not to serve, but to win the big prize. We know in advance that whoever wins the ego trip, she or he will cater to Wall Street and the oligarchy that run the businesses of the nation and not to the needs of the country. We know this because after each election the same people cycle in and

When it comes to U.S. elections, Einstein rings loud and clear out of government and each time bring with them the same recycled ideas and goals with the same predictable results, results that benefit the candidate, but are to the detriment to the nation. If we choose to continue to believe that doing the same thing over and over again with the expectation of different results, then the 2016 election results are predictable. There will not be a recognition of the extent of poverty in the United States and the dire need for government action; there will not be any effort to correct the stagnation of wages and this nation’s extreme income inequality; there will not be a successful effort to control the deliberate abuses of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution by a surveillance state; there will not be the corrective actions to reverse the pervasive racism of this nation, there will be no corrective action on the proliferation of discriminatory voter identification

Born Nov. 2, 1931 on Lopez Island, Luverne Dawn Sorensen (Weeks) died Feb. 22, 2015 and will return to Lopez to rest in perpetuity along side of her parents and her brother who preceded her in death. Luverne was born to Lloyd and Wilma Weeks, and grew up on Lopez Island for most of her life. The Weeks family was one of the first settlers on Lopez Island. They homesteaded on land around Fisherman’s Bay, some of the property was later Luverne’s childhood home and home to the family business (Lopez Garage) which her father Lloyd opened in 1929. Luverne left Lopez Island to attend high school in Sedro Woolley, graduating in 1949 as her class valedictorian. She had college aspirations and enrolled in Western Washington University in Bellingham. There, she met her future husband Heine Sorensen and they married Nov. 28, 1952 in Ballard Lutheran Church in Seattle. Determined to get her teaching credential, Luverne con- Luverne Sorensen (Weeks) tinued her quest for an education degree and graduated from the University of Washington in 1966. Most notable of all, she did this while raising four sons; Ryk, Lyn, Kim and Tod. She taught for many years in both the Edmonds and the Everett School districts before retiring. Luverne had an active social life with her family and her friends. She was a fabulous cook, elaborate hostess, a dedicated mother, and a pretty good bridge player. She wasn’t afraid to try new things (as evidenced by her water skiing in Puget Sound around her Dad’s reef net fishing boats while he was fishing!) and traveled extensively in her retirement years. She loved her childhood dog, “Tippy,” her children, her grandchildren, and her childhood home of Lopez. Her favorite food, which served to be a reminder of her home, was Dungeness crab. She very much wished she could have lived out her final years on Lopez. She bravely faced declining health in her later years and died due to complications from some of these health challenges. She is survived by her four sons, her niece, Denise, and six grandchildren Nicole, Scott, Evan, Jared, Stefan, and Colin. A memorial will be held at Lopez Cemetery at 1 p.m., Saturday, April 25. — Family of Luverne Sorensen (Weeks)

ittle girls may want a pony, a grown woman may want a vacation. But all Doris Gilbreath wants for her ninety-seventh birthday is to spend it with family, and be in the paper. “I’ve got the best kids in the west,” Doris said. “I hope the whole family comes here and just tears the house up real good.” On April 16 Doris will turn 97 but could be mistaken for decades younger. Her mind is sharp, and so is her memory. Except she seems to forget whatever problems ailed her in years past, because for the most part she’s in excellent health. She attributes her longevity to not smoking or drinking throughout most of her life, and in more recent years she’s been drinking apple cider vinegar mixed with honey and water everyday. Doris lives with her son, who does the cooking and the driving, but she’s responsible for daily housework like cleaning and laundry. She also goes for a walk everyday up and down Westcott Bay Road. “And still tells us what to do,” said Lois Brashear, Doris’s 76-year-old daughter. Doris moved to San Juan Island with her husband and four children in the 1960s. Before that they were seed-crop farmers in Idaho and then had a chicken ranch in California. Doris was good to her kids, but they had to work. “We didn’t have anybody so the kids had to work,” she said. “My daughter had to use the tip of her toe to push in the clutch on the tractor.” But when the kids got tired it was time to retire for the day and when the kids got tired of cleaning eggs from the 4,000 birds on their chicken farm, Doris bought a mechanical egg cleaner. Life on San Juan was different in the 60s. There were no paved roads, no traffic and no big houses, she said. But Doris isn’t complaining. “I’m happy right here,” she said. Doris was born in Idaho in 1918, into the time of Model-T’s and no birth control. Most of her relatives (and there were plenty) died in their 40s and

50s. Doris is the longest-lived member of her extended family. So, what made Doris want to be in the paper? Well, her ninety-sixth birthday announcement in the Journal was too small for her to see (she’s developed a bit of blindness). Happy birthday Doris, from the Journal of the San Juan Islands!

Hidden treasure parlayed for pets Shelter fundraiser, Saturday, at 10 a.m. By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

The priorities may change as the years move along. But at the moment, 17-year-old Mark Morang has two. Animals and geo-caching (okay, three if you count the cellphone). So, when the time came to dream up a community service project, a requirement for all juniors at Friday Harbor High School, Mark quite naturally thought: "Why not combine the two?" And, that's what he did. And, that's why on Saturday, April 18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., you'll have a feel-good reason to fan out across the island in search of clues and prizes as part of Morang's "Pet Pirate Booty Treasure Hunt," a benefit for the Friday Harbor Animal Protection Society and fundraiser for the purchase of a computer-equipped kiosk for the shelter’s new home. Here's how it works. Ten treasure boxes will be hidden around the island and for $25 you can purchase a list of clues that lead to each. Each box contains

THE CATTLE POINT ROAD CONSTRUCTION HAS BEGUN ON SAN JUAN ISLAND

three prize tickets and specially marked coins. You can redeem up to three tickets for prizes and something special awaits the first 10 contestants who collect a ticket from all 10 boxes; coins are exchanged for other prizes, like a latte. The instructions are simple enough, but getting all the pieces in place, like donations from 25 local businesses, proved challenging, and worthwhile. Of course, that’s part of what the community service projects are all about. “It took a lot of time to stay organized and get everything together,” Mark said. “I’m not really organized. I’m trying to get better at that.” Lesson leaned. On with the hunt. Top; a treasure chest full of prizes await participants of the “Pet Pirate Booty Treasure Hunt. Left; animal shelter Kitty Camp guest, “Gabby,” gets some TLC from Mark Morang. Right; Morang and “Ramona,” a chihuahua mix and shelter mascot and roustabout, spend some quality time together.
