Islands' Weekly, July 29, 2014

By Joan CarterSpecial to the Weekly

Every June on Father’s Day, the group shelter at Odlin County Park is abuzz with the arrival of a crew of volunteers. Tents are

hastily pitched before an evening shower. Dinner prep engage a few to chop salad and stir spaghetti on camp stoves. Soon, Nick Teague, outdoor recre-ation planner for the BLM

San Juan Islands National Monument, arrives and the hugging begins. Year after year, most of this crew has traveled to Lopez, drawn by the Puget Sound land-scape so different from their hometowns in the California Sierra, northern Colorado, Cleveland, Connecticut and Los Angeles.

Under the auspices of the American Hiking Society they cross land and sea to

embark on a special “vaca-tion,” one of 60 similar work weeks across the country and the first one to reach capacity – often in less than a single day. The San Juan Islands are that special.

“Breakfast everyone. Come and get it while it’s hot!” shouts the kitchen team.

The Good Lovelies feel like some of the luckiest women in the world.

They travel the world and

spend their days making music.

“Six years ago we quit our day jobs. Every year is a new adventure for us,” said Caroline Brooks, who

worked in admissions at the University of Toronto before making a major life change with her best friends Kerri Ough, a former employee of the Ontario Government and Sue Passmore, who worked in the publishing industry. “We are so happy to be doing this for a liv-ing. It’s much more work than I expected but it’s a labor of love. We’re living the dream.”

The Good Lovelies will share their “folk-pop” sound at Lopez Center on Sunday, Aug. 3, 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $18 for adults and $10 for youth and can be purchased from

Lopez Center Office, Paper Scissors on the Rock, Blossoms Organic Grocery and Lopez Bookshop.

Tickets at the door are $18 for adults and $10 for youth.

In just the last few years, the Good Lovelies went on the Vinyl Café Christmas tour and took home two Canadian Folk Music Awards for best Vocal Group of the Year and Ensemble of the Year.

Letters to the Editor

Choices, NAS Whidbey“Those who would give

up essential Liberty, to purchase a little tempo-rary Safety, deserve nei-

ther Liberty nor Safety. –Benjamin Franklin 11 Nov. 1755.

Many live under totali-tarian regimes where there is no recourse to address grievances especially those committed by the military. We all know the horrors committed and continue to be committed by the militar-ies of all nations (including our own). Luckily, we live

in a democratic system that is ruled by a Constitution where all are created equal (meaning people and insti-tutions).

We do have a means to air our concerns and not using those means creates a danger of losing them. Our Constitutionally guaranteed 4th choice is protest and many of us will continue to use this choice. We will use the principles on which this nation was founded not fear to motivate us.

There are two kinds of memory loss in older people. The first is normal forgetfulness, which most of us experience starting in our 40s and 50s — like not remembering a good friend’s name or where we put the car keys. I know this one well!

The second kind is for-getfulness that’s a symptom of a brain disorder, such as Alzheimer’s disease.

How can you tell the dif-ference? Try this quick and unscientific test: If you think you have a memory prob-lem, it’s probably normal and benign — because you remember that you don’t remember.

But if you think your memory is fine -- when oth-ers notice a problem – you may have a more serious problem.

If someone you care about experiences serious memory loss, get a diagno-sis. Don’t put your head in the sand or guess at the reason — learn the cause by seeing a physician expe-rienced in older adult health care.

Serious memory loss in older adults has dozens of causes. The good news is that many are temporary and can be treated. One is malnutrition and dehydra-tion, caused by not eating properly and not drinking enough water — a common problem for older people who live alone. No longer cooking much and lacking a robust appetite, they eat nothing but tea and cookies all day, or potato chips — a sure recipe for muddling our brains.

Another common cause is depression. So is the wrong mix of prescription

and/or over-the-counter drugs. Even medicines that a person tolerated well at age 45 can backfire at age 80 (because our brain chemistry changes as we get older), especially when

combined with other drugs.If a doctor tells you some-

one’s memory loss is due to “old age” — find another doctor. Age is not a diag-nosis, and serious memory loss is not a normal part of growing old!

Then there are mem-ory problems that are far more serious and scary. “Dementia” is the umbrella word we use to describe memory loss that is perma-nent, progressive, organic (caused by a disease in the brain) and severe enough to cause dysfunction in our daily activities.

The most common cause is Alzheimer’s disease, but others are small strokes, alcoholism, and some forms of Parkinson’s, AIDS and multiple sclerosis.

The older we get, the more likely we are to get Alzheimer’s disease. About 10 percent of people in their

mid-60s have Alzheimer’s, yet almost half of people over 85 have it.

With all of these differ-ent causes, you can appreci-ate why getting an accurate diagnosis of memory loss is important. It allows you to correct the problem if it’s treatable — or begin to make plans for the future if it’s not.

If the diagnosis is demen-tia, don’t go through it alone. To learn more about dementia and how to care for people who have it, contact the Alzheimer’s Association in Seattle at 800-848-7097 or go online to www.alzwa.org.

New to Lopez, Liz Taylor has worked in the aging field for almost 40 years. For fourteen year, she wrote a popular column on aging for The Seattle Times. Through her writing and speaking, she helps older people learn

how to keep some control over what happens to them as they age -- by planning for it. She calls it “aging deliber-ately.” You can reach her at [email protected].

By Julie Duke, executive director, Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation CenterSpecial to the Weekly

We were recently asked by a concerned private citi-zen to reach out to the com-munity to explain what to expect from Wolf Hollow when someone calls us to report a stranded Harbor seal pup. We are more than happy to do so and we hope this message will help everyone understand the complexities of the situ-ation.

Harbor seals, being marine mammals, come under the authority of the National Marine Fisheries Service, and are covered by the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which makes it a federal offence to touch, harass, injure or feed any marine mammal, includ-ing Harbor seal pups. Wolf Hollow staff and volunteers have no more authority to rescue a seal pup than has any member of the public. We are not permitted to go out and check on the pup, or bring it to the center for care.

In San Juan County the only people who can respond to a stranded seal pup are county, state or fed-eral government officials such as rangers within their parks, and the San Juan

County Marine Mammal Stranding Network. The Stranding Network is a group of local volunteers, coordinated through the Whale Museum, which is authorized by NMFS to investigate reports of live and dead stranded marine mammals, including seal pups, within the county. They work under strict guidelines set by NMFS.

Once a seal pup has been brought to Wolf Hollow we can rehabilitate it and, when it is strong and old enough to survive on its own, release it back into the wild. We currently have four such seal pups in our care.

If you see a seal pup on its own on the shore and it appears to be injured or weak, please don’t touch it, move it or try to get it into the water. Keep people and dogs away from the pup and call The Marine Mammal Hotline - 1 800 562 8832 and leave a message. This hotline is monitored by the Stranding Network Coordinators who will return your call.

If you call Wolf Hollow directly, all we can do is record the details of the pup’s location and condition and your name and phone

number. We then pass this information on to the Stranding Network coordi-nators who will take it from there.

I hope this helps to explain why we at Wolf Hollow can’t respond to calls about seal pups in the same way we do to other wildlife calls. If you see an injured hawk, or come across a thin, weak rac-coon kit, you can call Wolf Hollow and our U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife rehab licenses will allow our staff members or trained volun-

teers to come out to assess the animal and the situation, decide if it needs care, and transport it to Wolf Hollow. Unfortunately this is not the case with seal pups and though we understand the urgency of your call, there is absolutely nothing we can do until the seal pups are brought to us by the proper authorities.

If buying a brand new, 26-foot custom-built boat for just $35,000 sounds like a good deal to you, well, you’re not alone.

The San Juan County Council gave a green-light to the Sheriff’s Department July 15 on the purchase of a new 26-footer, which, according to Sheriff Rob Nou, will most likely replace the 19-foot boat now stationed on Lopez

or the department’s 26-foot Boston Whaler.

The majority of the boat’s actual purchase price – esti-mated at roughly $229,000 – will be paid for by federal grants, which, Nou said, leaves the department with about $35,000 to chip in toward the purchase.

“I’d say it’s absolutely a great thing to do at minimal local expense,” he said.

Approval of the purchase comes nearly a month to the date that the sheriff’s depart-

ment acquired a new, custom-built, 38-foot all-purpose pub-lic safety boat, equipped with three times the fire-fighting capacity of San Juan Island Fire Department’s fireboat, Confidence, for roughly $600,000, paid for by a U.S. Department of Homeland Security grant.

Nou said the final cost of the newly acquired “Sentinel” was about $96,000 less than had been allotted for by that grant and that the depart-ment will be able to use the remainder, along with a new and separate $100,000 fed-eral “Stone Garden” grant, to cover the bulk of the depart-ment’s newest boat acquisi-tion. Like the Sentinel, the 26-foot will be built from the

ground up by Burlington-based Munson Boats.

The sheriff’s department now operates and main-tains a fleet of four boats, in all: Sentinel, Guardian, the 25-year-old Boston Whaler and the 19-foot boat now stationed on Lopez. Once training for the Sentinel is complete, it is expected to be home-ported in Friday Harbor and the Guardian, a 32-footer acquired in 2005 for $260,000, is expected to be transferred to Orcas Island.

Nou said the department faced a deadline of the end of July to place an order with Munson for construction of a new 26-foot boat. The federal grant that funded purchase of the Sentinel was also due to

expire at the end of August, he said.

If all goes according to plan, the boat now stationed on Lopez will likely be turned over to the county ER&R department, and then be

available for use by various county departments, such as Parks, Public Works or the Assessor. The Boston Whaler may end of sold as surplus equipment, Undersheriff Bruce Distler said.

Another patrol boat for sheriff on the horizon

Submitted by Lopez SchoolThe Lopez School Board

at their regular meeting on July 24, expressed inter-est in a proposal made by Superintendent Bill Evans to place a revised capital proj-ects bond on the November 2014 ballot. The board set a meeting for the purpose of further discussion, for Thursday, July 31, at 5 p.m. in the school library. The public is invited to attend and participate.

The proposed $9.6 mil-lion capital projects bond represents an approximate 40 percent reduction from the last bond proposal. It addresses priority items such as needed renovations and upgrades to the exterior and interior of the build-ings, and restoration of criti-cal infrastructure systems that are in various stages of degradation. It would also provide for upgrades to further enhance education

and prepare the facilities to meet the requirements of modern technology. Early estimates of taxpayer costs for the bond indicate that it would cost approximately 30-35 cents per thousand dollars of assessed valua-tion.

“Our highest priorities,” said Evans, “are to address urgent safety and health needs by bringing the cam-pus up to more acceptable safety, health, and security levels, as well as to look at much needed restorations and renovations of class-room and other spaces, to address education needs.”

With successful pas-sage of this bond on the November 2014 ballot, the District will be able to begin substantive work in the summer of 2015. Any delay beyond the November bal-lot may well push such work out to the summer of 2016.

School bond on election ballot?

four more roll in, and soon the coffee is gone, then the sausages, then the eggs. The 11th – a first-timer – barely gets the very last bites. The others tease her: “you snooze, you lose,” and she laughs. Soon we’re at the work site with Sara Waugh, assistant park man-ager at Odlin, at Shark Reef Sanctuary. At the trailhead, a “bucket brigade” forms up to move gravel 500 yards. Two women vigor-ously shovel the gravel off the park pick-up truck but had to ratchet down their vigor so the other nine crew members could keep up the pace. Our reward for our endeavor was lunch on the bluff overlooking the San Juan Channel. No orcas got the memo about showing up. On another day a break in the weather enabled us to head out Tuesday to Lopez Hill with Tim Clark, land steward on Lopez for the San Juan County Land Bank. We didn’t know what to expect when he described deer “exclosures” except

that they were the likely cause of the disappearance of trees by their browsing. Nylon fencing was soon rigged up by the efficient crew, fueled by Tim’s sig-nature treats from Holly B’s and attested by veterans of his previous projects. A Wednesday morning at San Juan Island’s Cattle Point Interpretive Center and the nearby Cattle Point trail for regular maintenance led into an afternoon with Doug McCutcheon of the San Juan County Land Bank at Westside Preserve. His task for the next few hours was 1) to call ahead for the local whales to swim by, and 2) to keep us on task to cut back Himalayan blackberries. No orcas, but an acre of berry bushes bit the dust. Doug’s treat: farm-fresh strawber-ries! As we reveled in views of the Olympic range in the distance, he was asked about the infamous Pig War of 1859, and about the curious site of rare prairie grasses on the acreage we were working on. Doug was eager to share how the land bank concept is spreading across the U.S., a manage-ment scheme for maintain-ing and protecting both wild

and urban landscapes.We get caught up in

the stewardship ethic and almost forget that we’re sup-posed to be working. Too soon it’s quitting time to get to the ferry – and the day concludes with ice cream at the water’s edge. This small sample of the Northwest is ‘way cool!

Thursday was hard - up at 5 a.m. Grab a bite. Board the 6:45 a.m. ferry. Off to Shaw Island. But when Katie McLane, San Juan County Shaw Island Park manag-er greets us with a warm smile. Even the grumpiest soon realize: we’re appre-ciated even before we lift a shovel of dirt! Katie explained she wanted a trail connected in the under-growth. “Follow the flags! Watch out for slugs! Olive-colored Ariolimax good; black Arion bad!” The crew hums and slices and after two hours, the connection complete, Katie cheers and says “We’re open for hik-ers this weekend, thanks to you-all!”

As the last work day approaches, we realize what a perfect setting we’re in. Volunteering can’t be this much fun, can it? “Guess so” we conclude, as our State Parks boat speeds over to Patos Island. The Captain, Washington State Parks, San Juan Marine Park Manager Ted Schlund, circles around for the best

view of the whitewashed lighthouse and into the har-bor and onto the beach. We scatter in three directions to lop foliage beside the trails and clean up the shoreline before joining Keepers of the Patos Light volunteers for lunch. We’re all the same: committed, content, and conservation-minded.

A week’s work behind us, Nick hugs us goodbye before the ferry churns away Saturday morning. Just as with every year since the first AHS crew arrived in 2006, these volun-teers are more than reliable; their sweat and smiles will benefit the San Juans again and again and again.

music is a mix of different genres like jazz and blue grass but is primarily consid-ered roots music. All three write their own songs and focus on vocal harmony. At the Calgary Folk Festival last week, they taught a three-day workshop on harmonizing.

“We’re pretty big geeks

about harmony,” laughed Brooks.

The band is known for dynamic live shows that fea-ture both original songs and covers.

“It’s a mix of music and anecdotes of life on the road,” Brooks said. “Our goal is to make every show like you are sitting in the living room and we are just sharing stories.”

Their newest release, Live at Revolution — winner of

two 2013 Canadian Folk Music Awards for Best Vocal Group and Best Ensemble — highlights the energy and variety of their live show.

The Good Lovelies per-form between 80 and 130 shows per year, traveling across North America, the United Kingdom and Australia.

Over the years the women have cultivated a style for their shows.

“I love fashion,” Brooks

said. “It’s a really fun way to express yourself. We love getting dressed up for shows. Some boutique clothing stores in Toronto have donat-ed dresses for us to wear on stage – it’s awesome.”

On their tour this year, Brooks’ two-year-old daugh-ter has hit the road with them.

“We haven’t really slowed down, we’re still road-dog-ging it,” Brooks said.

The Lopez Island Farm Education program, which con-sists of the Elementary Garden Enrichment, Middle School Garden Elective, High School Farm Class and the Farm/Garden to Cafeteria Program, is putting together a ‘home-grown cookbook’ to help fund our programs.

We hope to collect recipes from the community that reflect our wonderful local food options! Do you have a favorite way of preparing the boundless zucchini flowing from your garden? What do you do with fresh-caught salm-on or oysters? We would love to learn your grandmother’s bread recipe, your uncle Harvey’s famous pickle recipe, your special way of making wild strawberry jam. There will be a place for anecdotes about the recipes, and we encour-

age you to include a little something about where the recipe came from or what it means to you.

We need recipes from 250 people to be able to publish this cookbook. Look for recipe collection forms at the Lopez Library, Blossom, the Lopez Village Market, the South End grocery store and the Lopez plaza.

Download and fill out the recipe submission form here: Recipes_for_LIFE.docx, and then email it to [email protected].

LIFE asks for your recipes

By Scott RasmussenJournal editor

Faced with a possible proliferation of industrial-sized marijuana grows, the San Juan County Council agreed to consider plac-ing new limits on the con-struction, scope, size and operation of greenhouses, an accessory use for agri-cultural production that can be constructed, in many instances, without a permit.

In a divided decision,

a 2-1 vote, the council instructed its staff July 15 to put the questions of sit-ing, permitting, operation and impacts of greenhouses before the planning com-mission as first in a series of steps which could lead to a series of restrictions. Council Chairman Rick Hughes, adamantly opposed to the earlier suggestion of a six-month moratorium, cautioned that restrictions targeted to appease con-

cerns over marijuana could undermine cultivation of other, less controversial crops.

“If it involves a morato-rium I don’t support it at all,” Hughes said of regula-tory tools the council could wield. “I think we need to be really careful about the road we’re going down.”

Hughes noted San Juan County voters overwhelm-ing supported I-502 (68 percent), the statewide ini-tiative legalizing the culti-vation and sale, and recre-ational use of marijuana by adults, and that the Right to Farm Act leaves little legal wiggle room to thwart pro-duction or the harvest of any thing other than contra-band crops.

His colleagues were unswayed. Councilman Jamie Stephens said defi-nitions of “permanent” or “temporary” in the build-ing code, the yardstick of whether a building permit is required for a greenhouse, as well as other impacts, such as illumination, could be clarified to better protect farmland from long-term impacts.

“The code is too vague,” Stephens said.

Meanwhile, a total of 18 “marijuana producer” license applications from San Juan County are on file with the state Liquor Control Board, only one of which, belonging to Aqua Organics, has so far been approved. The liquor con-trol board has 7,000 appli-cations statewide to review for criminal, financial and residency requirements.

Concerns on greenhouse rules

By Chom GreacenSpecial to the Weekly

Gardeners beware. Some “bee friendly” plants that you buy may end up harming, instead of, helping bees.

The health of honey bees, bumble bees and other pollinators have been under seri-ous threat and their populations in decline worldwide.

Without pollinators, production of two-thirds of the food crops that humans eat would also be in danger.

The fastest growing class of synthetic pesticides, neonicotinoids (or “neonics”) have been identified as a major contribut-ing factor of bee colony collapse disor-der. Based on a growing body of scien-tific evidence the European Commission recently issued a moratorium on the use of three neonicotinoid compounds.

The U.S. EPA has yet to take a similar action or inform the public of the potential risks, however. Consumers are thus mostly

unaware of what danger might lurk behind their plants, flowers and foods contaminated with neonics and other pesticides.

Unbeknownst to consumers, some plants, such daisies and tomatoes, marketed as “bee friendly” and sold at retail outlets including Home Depot and Lowe’s, have been found to contain neonicotinoids that sadly end up poisoning, rather than nourish-ing, bees.

To protect the future of pollinators and the future of our foods and human sur-vival, it is necessary for citizens to be better informed about what is hurting our bees, and what we can do to make our gardens and our island safe for the pollinators.

Fortunately for Lopez residents and visi-tors, a leader of fast-growing Bee Safe Neighborhood movement is coming here as a special guest speaker. A Boulder, Colorado

native, Molly Greacen will share her experi-ence in mobilizing different communities to declare themselves “Bee Safe.”

“Starting in my neighborhood, the Bee Safe Neighborhood movement has now gone viral in Colorado. I am excited to visit Lopez and help contribute to the conversa-tion to make Lopez and perhaps the San Juans “Bee Safe”.

Molly Greacen will be joined by Eric Hall, long time Lopez bee-keeper and owner of the popular “U-Pick strawberry” Crow Foot farm, in leading an informative evening discussion.

Join the Lopez Bee Safe conversation, Friday Aug. 1, 7 p.m. at Grace Episcopal Church. The event is free to the public, sponsored by Lopez Community Land Trust. For info, call Rhea Miller at 468-3723 or visit www.bee-safesjc.org.

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.

The Galápagos Islands are an iconic location for biologists and wildlife enthusiasts because of their influence on Charles Darwin, who spent 36 days in the archipelago dur-ing 1836 as the naturalist aboard H.M.S. Beagle. Much of what Darwin saw is accessible to a modern day visitor after strenuous conservation efforts to con-trol feral species that had been introduced by genera-tions of seafarers.

In this exhibition, Peter Cavanagh presents 18 photographs of endemic and resident species taken during a visit in Februar y 2014. These include the marine igua-na, the Galápagos (flight-less) cormorant, the giant tortoise, the blue-footed booby, the Galápagos fur seal, the magnificent frig-atebird.

In a 5 p.m. lecture at the Lopez Library on Saturday, Aug. 2, Peter will discuss the individual pho-

tographs and reflect more broadly on how observa-tions in the Galápagos

Islands have contributed to our understanding of evolution.

By Cali BagbyWeekly editor

Lopezian JC Marean and musician Jan Garrett have known each other since grade school. They shared a love of singing at an early age and in high school they continued to bond over their passion for folk music. JC sang and played guitar with two other classmates. Jan played upright piano and tenor banjo, and formed a girl group who learned Kingston Trio songs and cleverly named themselves “The Queenston Quartet.”

JC calls this time “the for-mative years.”

In college, the two friends drifted and lost track of one another for the next 40 years. Then in 2005, JC’s old bandmate discovered

that Jan had been writing and recording with her hus-band and musical partner JD Martin. The old class-mates decided to reach out to Jan and put on a reunion concert in their hometown of Loveland, Colo.

“We had re-ignited an unquenchable flame of thunderous musical enthu-siasm,” said JC.

A few years later when Jan and JD were in the Seattle area, they came to Lopez to lead two days of musical workshops with JC’s a capella singing group “Lopez Sound,” and then shared the bill in a concert at Lopez Center.

Now JD Martin and Jan Garrett are back for another show at Woodmen Hall on Thursday, Aug. 7, 7:30 p.m. Tickets are by donation. JC

advises that if you have to choose between making a donation and buying a CD that people should buy a CD to “keep the music going.”

Martin is an acclaimed songwriter of five number one and 10 top ten coun-try and pop hit singles. His

songs have been recorded by Reba McEntire, Terri Clark, B.J. Thomas, Peter Cetera, the Oak Ridge Boys and Kathy Mattea. He has won more than 15 American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers awards for excellence in songwriting in Nashville and L.A.

Garrett is a jazz singer who has recorded and toured with John Denver and Steve Martin (when he was still doing stand-up) and appeared on the Tonight

Show. Her tune “Tenderly Calling” was recorded by John Denver and the leg-endary bluegrass band Hot Rize, and has been featured in a PBS “Frontline” docu-mentary.

According to the website, “their primarily piano-based music winds through pop and gospel, jazz, folk, soul and country … but it’s the rich vocal harmonies, lyrical depth, and their comfort-ably compelling stage pres-ence that define their mag-netic appeal. Jan and JD are

all about generosity of heart and soul, artfully wrapped up in musical excellence.”

JC describes their music as uplifting and inspiration-al.

“It helps me to get to see the bigger picture and real-ize that we are all in this together and helps me to recognize that we need to get along and respect each other,” he said.
