Islands' Weekly, July 15, 2014

By Jacq ZierSpecial to the Weekly

Dungeness crab is one of the most important fisheries in the Salish Sea. In Washington State alone, the fishery has an annual average value of about $20 million. Unfortunately there’s a little more work to do to better understand crab reproduction so we can make sure the population thrives while we serve up this delicious crustacean for dinner.

Researchers from SeaDoc and the UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory in California are looking for local Dungeness crab larvae, called mega-lopae, to better understand popula-tion dynamics and crab fishery cycles. Ultimately this will help us understand what oceanographic conditions are good for crab catching as well.

The SeaDoc Society is looking for help from sharp-sighted beachgoers in finding Dungeness crab megalopae for this study. The tiny megalopae are 5-8 mm in length and look like a very small floating crab about the size of a pencil eraser. They might be spotted swarming near the surface of the water by people

walking on beaches or docks.The making of megalopae begins

when a female Dungeness crab releases a pheromone before she molts. Dungeness crabs can mate nearly year round, but only while females are soft-shelled.

When a keen male picks up her scent, he lifts her up with his claws – carrying her around for hours sometimes – to

make sure he is there the instant she begins to molt. Once she has sloughed off her old shell, he deposits his sperm, which she stores until her 2.5 million eggs are fully developed and fertilized.

Afterwards, the male protects his mate from other suitors for several days

SEE CRAB, PAGE 5

Isn’t there a fire-works ban?

I THOUGHT there is a law against fireworks in San Juan County. Am I wrong?

Saturday night July 5 and the fire crackers and

bottle rockets in my neigh-borhood are creating such chaos in our Westview Apartments. I am the man-ager, and I have elderly, sickly and some have terri-fied pets. I mean a dog that is screaming in terror. My own dog is shaking and try-

ing to hide. I hear another upstairs scrambling to find a safe haven, It breaks one’s heart to see such terror and to feel helpless to com-fort or stop it or to prevent it. My love for Lopez has always been the quiet and safety. But not this time

of year. So – why the law against fire works?

We pet owners tranquilize our pets for the 4, and did not expect or want to do it a second time. So a dutiful call to 911 nets me another phone number that no one answers. At 11:30 p.m., it stops—finally. And I hear the noise all over the island. So—do we have a law? Not sure, but I thought that was what I read.

But – since no one enforces the speed limits either, I guess I should not be surprised. 90 per-cent of the traffic on this stretch of road is speeding. I have said we could pay a deputy’s wages just writ-ing tickets on Lopez Road. Letters to the Sheriff, this one and the last one gets you zip. A letter to the Commissioner got me zip too. So – any suggestions fellow Lopezians?

Two Orcas Island men cleaning out a stor-age unit the Rosario area on Tuesday came across grenades and a rocket propelled gre-nade and called sheriff’s deputies. Deputies secured the scene and called the Washington State Patrol Bomb Squad.

Bomb technicians arrived Wednesday morning. A search of the scene turned up additional explosives, incendiary materials, military ordinance and components. Most of the items found were from the World War II

era. The WSP Bomb Squad called the military, and a US Navy Explosive Ordinance Disposal team responded from Whidbey Island.

Several items were “made safe” by the technicians. Other military hardware along with explosive and incendiary materials were removed by WSP and Navy EOD.

The contents of the storage unit belonged to a recently deceased Orcas Island man. It was being cleaned out upon request of his estate. No further investigation is planned.

Pacific salmon and trout are not the only native fish seen in the San Juan Islands’ healthier streams. One of the most widespread and abundant resident fish of the islands is the incon-spicuous Reticulate Sculpin (Cottus perplexus).

Reticulates are unlikely to be seen even by the most persistent sport fishers. They are patchy brown, perfectly camouflaged as they hug pebbles on the

stream bottom. They avoid swimming, and rarely rise to bait or flies. Generally less than four inches long, they do not flee from the moving shadow of a human or other predator on the water, but prefer to remain perfectly still until actually touched.

Unlike salmon and trout, Reticulates remain in fresh water their entire lives, only eating what they can find hidden in the gravel: aquat-

ic insects such as caddis-fly larvae in their “homes” constructed of bits of leaves, wood and sand; len-til sized Fingernail Clams; tiny freshwater snails; and freshwater crustaceans that are cousins of familiar “sowbugs” and “sand fleas”. It seems that they rarely eat other fish or fish eggs, although they might affect young salmon or trout by competing for the same insect prey.

Male Recticulate Sculpins scoop out nests in the gravel beneath sub-merged rocks or logs. Female Reticulates loiter in the territories of male fish in early spring, pester-ing them until they mate. Several females may spray their eggs on the roof of a single males’ underwater hideaway. Males guard the eggs until they hatch.

Young Reticulates grow slowly and may take four years to reach a length of 2.5 inches. By comparison, a young Chinook salmon attains the same size in a few months. Reticulates are also shy and tend to avoid other fish, abandon-ing choice stream habitats for less favorable ones where other species are present.

Reticulate Sculpins are unique to the Pacific Northwest. They have only been seen in coast-al streams between the

California-Oregon border and the central Salish Sea. Skagit and San Juan coun-ties form the northern limit of their range. Even within this limited geographic area, the distribution of Reticulates is patchy and unpredictable.

Reticulates tolerate rela-tively warm, brackish water, so they can live near the mouths of small streams as well as cooler upstream riffles. This may be a clue to their origins. Reticulates are only found in a geographic area that was close to the edge of the last great conti-nental glaciers. Melting ice

would have diluted the salin-ity of the waters along our coasts, and facilitated migra-tion and adaptation of fresh-water fish that could sur-vive in slightly salty condi-tions—such as Reticulates. Reticulates probably colo-nized the islands’ streams long before the Salish Sea was as salty as it is today!

Reticulate Sculpin (Cottus perplexus)

Explosives found on Orcas

By Sarah EppenbachSpecial to the Weekly

If you’ve frequented the Recycle Plaza at the Lopez Dump, you’re familiar with the sagging cardboard totes lined up to receive your rinsed and empty soda bottles, yogurt tubs, clam-shells, and other plastics. Exposed to the elements for months on end, the cartons gradually assumed a rak-ish lean before disintegrat-ing altogether, often spilling their contents in the pro-cess.

All that changed recent-ly when the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District began replacing the dilapi-dated cardboard totes with reusable plastic containers called IBC’s (Intermediate Bulk Containers). Made to transport liquids, the IBC’s start life as 1,000-litre jugs housed within a sturdy galvanized metal frame. LSWDD buys them used off Craig’s List and cuts off the tops of the jugs to repurpose them into durable all-weath-er storage containers.

The new plastic totes,

which cost an average $85 apiece, are the targets of a new “Buy A Bin” fundrais-ing drive by SWAP, the non-profit organization that sup-ports the Dump. Building on the success of last year’s effort to raise funds to buy the backhoe from the County, SWAP aims to raise $4,000 to cover the cost of acquiring up to 50 IBC’s.

Lightweight and eas-ily maneuvered, the plas-tic totes are a hit with vol-unteers and staff. “I love them!” says longtime Dump employee Bob Chonka. “One man can dump them, they’re strong, they stack nicely, they don’t collapse when it rains. And they’re labor-saving–you don’t have to take the totes down and fold them up.”

The bins come with a spigot for drainage and a built-in pallet for transport by forklift or pallet-jack. Most importantly, they can be stacked three-high and

stored in the open until there’s enough volume for baling and shipping to the recyclables market in Burlington. In the case of clamshells, for example–the hinged clear plastic contain-ers used for take-out and salad greens–that means stockpiling 15 to 20 bins in order to create a single marketable bale.

To contribute to the Buy A Bin fund, stop by the SWAP booth at the Saturday Market or donate at the pay

kiosk at the Dump. All con-tributions will be tax deduct-ible. The thermometer sign near the kiosk will soon be tracking progress toward the $4,000 goal.

by carrying her around with him. A female can store sperm for up to two years and may use sperm from one mating event for several batches of eggs.

In the following months, the eggs hatch and embark on a metamorphosis through different larval stages. They first resemble small, plank-tonic shrimp while in the

zoea stages. These larvae then undergo

months of development in the ocean before they flock to sites close to the shore for a final larval stage known as the megalopae.

Megalopae resemble tiny crabs and eventually move to live on the sea floor. It will take three to four more years for these crabs to mature to a harvestable size.

A permit is required for megalopae collection, so please call the SeaDoc Society

office (360-376-3910) to report megalopae sightings.

Jacq Zier, a 4th year stu-dent at Colgate University, is a 2011 graduate of Orcas Island High School. As a SeaDoc summer intern in 2013 she published an arti-cle on harbor seals in the Encyclopedia of Puget Sound and conducted research on threatened and endangered species in the Salish Sea. This summer she is writing a sci-entific monograph on harbor porpoise.

Last year, Lopez Island experienced an epic Skate and BMX event: The Retreat, by Skatelite. Highlights included the X-Games vert ramp, pro skaters and bmx-ers, live music, and a crowd that rivaled Fourth of July, all to celebrate the open-ing of the new Lopez skate park, generously donated by Richlite. Over the year, youth and adults alike have gained skills and confidence on the new ramps.

Recently, several locals took to the ramps to dem-onstrate their skate, bmx, and scooter skills. Line and SK8/BMX competitors ranged from five years old to adults.

With kids as emcees and with tricks on the half-pipe, spine, and off the stairs, it was a perfect Lopez skate event.

The winners were: Zander Gallegos, Josh Kramer, Owen Akopiantz, Lucas Reed, Kenny Hamlin, Zackary Mackinnon, and Mitchell Barr. Winners received T-shirts with the new Lopez skate park logo by Kevin O’Bryant. In addi-tion to the talent on the ramps, there was a short

film by Teus Rabel that fea-tured several Lopez skaters.

To top it all off, we had the honor of a very special guest, Mr. Shawn O’Day. He and his wife and their Scotty dog enjoyed the show and the crowd. It was a rare treat to be able to thank him in person for this amazing gift he and Richlite have given our community.

Thank you to all who came out for the event and

to those who participated. For those interested in purchasing a Lopez skate park T-shirt, please contact Shawn Westervelt at 468-4389. Shirts are $20. Money raised will help make it pos-sible to hold this kind of event more often.

Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services (DVSAS) is looking for survivors of domestic violence and/or sexual assault who would like to tell their story through art. DVSAS would like to display these (non judged) works of art at our Fair Booth this year.

We believe in healing through art and would like to give survivors the opportunity to tell their stories through their preferred medium.

The artist’s name may remain confidential if they wish. If you would like to participate in “Our Stories” the Survivor’s Art Gallery, please contact us at 378-8680, Monday - Thursday, 10-5.

In May the Los Angeles based alternative rock band Trapdoor Social stopped at Lopez Island during their Northwest tour. The crowd was so enthusiastic they felt they had to return.

Merritt Graves and Skylar Boorman met while studying at Pamona College near Los Angeles. Merritt is originally from Iowa City and Skylar is from Seattle.

Their music has strong melodies and lyrics that aren’t just about love and friendship but their per-sonal causes, like the envi-ronment and solar energy.

Their per formances are energetic and the songs engaging. The band’s energy on stage

is infectious. Their song, AWAY, has audiences singing along and danc-ing.

Skylar’s song Old Wings is about his father, a for-mer Boeing designer who decided he really wanted to fly instead, changed careers and is now a 737 test pilot.

Science of Love was inspired by the pace of technology taking over faster than we can deal with.

They are donating 100% of the profits from the sale of their new and second CD, Science of Love, to a solar energy project with LA non-profit Homeboy Industries, which retrains former gang members for jobs.

The band’s vidoes can be seen on Youtube and their own website: www.trapdoorsocial.com and their songs been heard on major radio stations across the country.

They will be performing exclusively at the Islander Resort Friday, July 18 at 9 p.m.

Families and under-age folks are welcome in the restaurant and on the deck. No cover.

“Canzoni: Poetr y in Italian Songs and Melodies” with Beppe Gambetta is Sunday, July 20 at 7:30 p.m.

Beppe Gambetta is an Italian acoustic guitar flatpicker and singer, he has been called a “virtual United Nations of influ-ences: Italian, Ukrainian, Appalachian, Sardinisn and Celtic.” Beppe is a compos-er, teacher, and researcher of traditional music and instruments.

The July 20 concert will focus on the rich reper-

toire of Italian traditional and popular songs and on the re-discovery and re-arrangement of the work of iconic Italian singer-song-writers.

In his artistic work Beppe likes to re-propose songs with powerful poetic mean-ing and he brings them to a new life and interpretation based on his stylish acoustic guitar.

In this special “Canzoni” performance Beppe is also a storyteller, giving trans-lations of the lyrics and bringing the audience on

a journey through Italian songs by the great works of ar tists like Fabrizio De André, Francesco Guccini, Sergio Endrigo and many others. The eve-ning will be a delightful journey through passion-ate melody, poetr y and guitar.

Tickets in advance are adults $13 and youth $6. They are available at PSR, Lopez Book Shop, Blossom and online at lopezcenter.org. Tickets at door are adults $15 and youth $8.

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a firewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

Another successful Lopez July 4th parade

By Ian M. Lange Special to the Weekly

The 35th annual Lopez Lions Club-sponsored 10 km and 5 km runs, 5 km walk and one mile romp again broke atten-dance and fund-raising records with all proceeds going back to the community.

While a record-breaking 428 folks participated in 2013, this year we had 510, and made over $6,000.

For making this event so successful, special thanks are due to all our faithful sponsors found on the back of each shirt and to Lopez Lions, the San Juan Public Works, Sheriff’s Department, Lopez Fire Department, the LCCA and others vital to the success of this event.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency will be in the San Juans July 14-18 to assess local shorelines in an effort to develop more accurate local coastal flood insurance maps for San Juan County.

According to FEMA, field work for assessment of the shorelines may include fly-overs of the waterfront, walking of “coastal” areas, collecting sand samples, taking measurements and photographs, and examining coastal structures.

Fly-overs would be conducted at an elevation of 300 feet or more, and

contract field personnel will carry identification and a letter explaining their work, and private property will not be accessed without permission of an owner.

San Juan County lacks specified flood elevations in FEMA flood insur-ance rate maps. Information collected in the upcoming field work is intend-ed to ensure that the agency’s map modeling will more accurately reflect conditions on the ground. Property owners building in a designated flood-zone area are required to derive flood elevations on their own.

The new analysis is intended to establish flood elevations for the county’s entire coastline and, accord-ing to FEMA, provide more accurate information to property owners, local governments and the flood insurance program.

For more detail, visit, www.fema.gov/coastal-flood-risk-study-process.

Contact FEMA’s Ted (Dwight) Perkins, 425-487-4684, with questions or concerns about the local field work, or by email at, [email protected]
