Help to foster animals in need By Colleen Smith Armstrong Editor/Publisher
Do you love animals but don’t have the time or funds for a full-time pet? If so, fostering may be for you. Crowded shelters on the mainland are always in need of foster parents, and the islands’ facilities are no different. “If folks feel like they can’t adopt a dog or cat because they travel frequently or are only part-time residents, then fostering can be a great solution,” said Orcas Animal Shelter Director Marsha Waunch. “They can enjoy a pet for the time they have available.” Shelters can be high stress environments for animals – strangers coming to visit and
being in a kennel can cause anxiety. One solution is placing the cat or dog in a temporary home until a permanent adopter comes forward. “We have a foster mother who is really into helping out the old dogs,” said Friday Harbor Animal Shelter Director Leslie Byron. “She keeps them all the way until the end if she can.” The local shelters provide food and medical care for pets placed in foster families. If a potential adopter is interested in seeing the animal, they can either visit the home or make an arrangement to meet at the shelter. “Some foster families end up keeping the dog or cat,” Byron said. “They become part of the family.” In Friday Harbor, there is
a particular need for people willing to care for new born kittens, which means bottle feeding them until they are ready to live full-time at the shelter. The Lopez Animal Protection Society, which doesn’t have a facility, relies entirely on foster volunteers. The non-profit seldom receives dogs but has a high number of cat surrenders. “We have a need – not as great as the other islands – but we do need foster homes,” said Director Joyce Myhr. Edith Edwards purchased a farm on Lopez Island after her retirement and has taken in a host of unwanted animals including a horse, a pony, three sheep, a rooster, hens, cats and dogs. “Fostering is wonderful
if one has the space – the animals have a safe place, even if it’s temporarily,” Edwards said. “It is so needed because on Lopez we don’t have a facility. I hope more people both foster and adopt – there are so many animals in need.” She said the most rewarding part of her rescue farm is watching the transformation of her critters. “Many of them were afraid of people but over time they become so loving,” Edwards said. “It’s a healing and beautiful thing. It’s very special.” The Orcas shelter has three cats in foster situations. One is permanent but the other two will be returning soon. “We have several cats right now that would really
benefit from a foster family,” Waunch said. The Orcas shelter also has a senior mastiff mix named Bubba who hasn’t had any interest from potential adopters. Waunch says he is an ideal candidate for a foster family. He doesn’t require much exercise and is happy to just lay in the sun but can’t be in a home with cats or very small children. There are two additional senior dogs who need foster homes but haven’t yet been surrendered to the shelter. According to www.petfinder.com, to be a successful foster parent, you need a compassionate nature, the cooperation of your family or roommates, flexibility and some knowledge of animal behavior. The length of
time a foster pet may stay in your home varies with the animal’s situation. “It can also be very difficult to let go once you have become emotionally attached to an animal,” according to the website. “Be prepared for tears and heartache when the day comes that you must bring your first foster pet back to the shelter. But remember, he or she is now much more likely to find a loving, permanent home because of the care you gave them.” Contact the shelters: Orcas Animal Protection: www.orcaspets.org, 376-6777 Friday Harbor Animal Shelter: www.apsfh.com, 378-2158 Lopez Animal Protection: lopezanimals.org, 468-2258

Periodic trips to the Sheriff’s office had been one of my many tasks for the better part of the past 14 years. There, I would pull up a chair and hunker down in the back room and sift through the stack of incident reports. I would jot down relevant information of those that I determined to be “newsworthy” and head back to the Journal to piece together the next installment of the San Juan County Sheriff’s Log. I got to chit-chat with many of our dispatchers and deputies, and gain a better under-
standing, to a degree, of the department’s inner-workings along the way. Readers may recall a log entry would go something like this: July 27: A San Juan Island man claims the driver of a Dodge Durango threatened him with a knife during a confrontation over an exit-only sign at a Friday Harbor home remodel center. The 33-yearold, working security outside the center’s parking lot at the time, claims the driver entered the parking lot via its exit, pulled out a knife when confronted, exited through the entrance, and then sped away. From fender-benders to

felony assault, that stack of reports worked as a window into some of the less attractive, more unsettling and sometimes bizarre occurrences that take place in this paradise. It chronicled everything from dog bites, DUIs, shoplifting, runaways, welfare checks, trespassing, suspicious activity, discovery of human remains and a whole lot more. It’s no surprise that the sheriff’s log, long before I inherited it, had been one of the newspaper’s most popular features. It proved to be so on the Journal, Sounder and Weekly websites as well. But there’s no real payoff in such trips to the sheriff’s office any longer. The department is well on its way to going “paperless” with its incident reports. That electronic format does not convert into something decipherable for the purpose of publication, even if a report is printed out. Much of the detail I relied on has been lost in translation. To its credit, the department does send out the
occasional press release, the sheriff and undersheriff do field reporters’ questions and provide answers within the boundaries they believe apply to any given case, and Undersheriff Bruce Distler has recently floated several suggestions in an attempt to make available the kind of information that had previously been right at one’s fingertips. The sheriff’s log offered a unique, ground floor look at what our local law enforcement and public safety officials encounter day-in and day-out. It provided a sense of commonality as well as it cataloged incidents from all across the county. And, perhaps most importantly, it was a reminder that trouble can arise even in paradise, and that things can go amiss. It would seem that the sheriff’s log is now a relic of a bygone era, like the Pony Express, a casualty of progress, rendered obsolete, or, in this case, dislodged and displaced by the sought-after efficiencies of the digital age. That’s a shame.

Natural History with Russel Barsh and Madrona Murphy Voices in the deep In literature, the depths of the sea are dark and “silent.” In reality, marine ecosystems are very noisy. At the frequencies heard by most fish, the oceans have been as noisy as busy city streets for hundreds of millions of years. Human activities have nonetheless recently added new layers of noise to an already noisy ocean. Eerie marine mammal “songs” were popularized in the 1960s, but from a human point of view, fish songs are boring series of grunts, barks, chirps, and buzzes. Very sexy to other fish, however; and as more fish are subjected to acoustic studies, it appears that song is as widespread a tool for attracting mates and demarcating territory in fishes, as among birds. In addition, many underwater predators eavesdrop on fish songs to target their prey. Fish are the oldest surviving class of vertebrate animals, emerging over 400 million years ago, and at an early stage they evolved two kinds of acoustic organs:
internal ears with a covering of fine hairs that sense high-pitched vibrations, and rows of pressure-sensitive skin cells (the lateral line) that sense very low-pitched sounds and movement. Fish “hear” in two ranges – one that overlaps with the lower octaves of human hearing, and another that is sensitive to “low bass” sounds that humans tend to feel rather than hear. Sound propagates better in water than air, and the deep bass singing of some whales and fish can be heard and understood by animals miles away. Indeed, hearing in air posed a serious challenge for the first vertebrate animals to explore the land. Significant changes in vertebrate ears can be seen in the fossil record about 250 million years ago, associated with the initial transition from water to air. Reptiles, birds and mammals have ears with several tiny interlocking bones that help amplify high frequencies that carry farther in air.

Currently the Fiscal Year 2015 President’s Budget Request does not include funding for continued production of EA-18G Growlers, an aircraft manufactured by Boeing. Over 25,000 electronic letters have been sent to Congress to ask for additional production of the Growler to the Fiscal Year 2015 budget from a link on Boeing’s website. fa-18.com/contactcongress/?gclid=CPTn5M iFor4CFQqIfgodQHAAnA.

The ears of a bat can detect the faint echo of a hypersonic chirp bouncing off the wings of a moth a hundred feet away, but not the deep bass thrumming of a lovesick codfish! In light of the pervasive role of sound in marine animals’ feeding and reproduction, it should not be surprising that human noise has significant impacts. From the creaking of the boards and pulleys on old wooden sailing ships, to the engines and sonar of modern ships, humans have been making the oceans noisier for centuries. Modern propulsion systems, with petroleum-burning engines and electrical motors, pose particular problems because they emit mainly low-frequency infrasound, just about in the range most widely utilized by fish. Marine engines may be broadcasting confusing love notes to fish for hundreds of miles around. Fish and marine mammals have some ability to move away from noisy patches of ocean, although the long-distance propagation of sound underwater makes this much harder

for marine animals than their terrestrial cousins. The greatest threat is to animals that cannot afford to abandon their habitat: for example, rockfish nesting in a rocky reef such as Bell Island here in San Juan County. Summer increases in engine noise conflict with crucial, site-specific warm weather activities such as nesting, spawning, and rear-
ing young. A great deal remains to be learned about the vocal range of fishes, the use and meaning of fish songs and acrobatic performances that sometimes accompany them, and the possible adverse impacts of competing human noise. It may turn out that damping engine noise in marine vessels is as important for pro-
tecting the marine environment, as reducing engine emissions. Learn more about nearshore fish research in the San Juan Islands at www. kwiaht.org.

Program for safeguarding smelt Grants approved By Randy O’Bryant and Tina Whitmat Special to the Weekly
Local smelt fishermen, researchers and concerned residents are working together to urge the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to invest in essential research into the status of surf smelt stocks and protect spawning beaches. This spring, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) set out a proposed rule change that could change recreational and commercial harvest of surf smelt. Surf smelt, small schooling fish, provide important food for a wide variety of animals, including seabirds, fish and marine mammals. After hearing concerns about conflicting uses down-sound from shoreline property owners and commercial and recreational fishers, WDFW proposed three options to change harvest regulations for surf smelt, including full closure of commercial harvest and reduction in recreational harvest. We appreciate WDFW’s attention to protecting surf smelt, but the agency needs to take two other steps in conjunction with any proposed changes to harvest rules. First, we need to learn just how many smelt swim in the Salish Sea, and whether current harvests threaten those fish. WDFW completed the most recent smelt stock assessment
back in the mid-1990s when it concluded that one percent of the smelt were being harvested. In the absence of updated fish population data, it is difficult to evaluate the three alternatives proposed by the rule change. In addition, the proposed rules risk eliminating one of the few remaining long-term fishing traditions in San Juan County, and further disconnecting us from the natural environment. Instead, we encourage the Fish and Wildlife Commission to direct the WDFW to devote the necessary resources to assessing surf smelt populations and trends in San Juan County and throughout the Salish Sea. Second, we encourage WDFW to improve its protection of spawning habitat. If ongoing shoreline modifications such as hard rock bulkheads continue to be allowed at known spawning beaches, they will undermine any efforts to safeguard the stock using harvest limitations or fishing restrictions. By protecting spawning sites, WDFW can help ensure the health of the fishery at this most critical stage. The public is welcome to comment through May 30, 2014 at wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulations/smelt/. Randy O’Bryant is a commercial smelt fisherman on Lopez Island. Tina Whitman is a forage fish researcher and Science Director at FRIENDS of the San Juans.

Youth conservation corps grows county-wide Tourists won’t be the only people you encounter on the trails this summer. Five crews of local middle and high school youth will be completing stewardship projects at 14 public recreation sites through-
out the county. Youth corps aren’t new to the islands. “The Lopez Island Conservation Corps began in 2007, and the long term vision was to have the program expand through the islands” says Amanda

Wedow, LICC Program Director. “We are pleased to see that goal realized with conser vation corps established on Lopez, San Juan, and Orcas. Together we can offer a better educational experience for our youth.” With the island wide partnership, LICC, San Juan Island Conservation Corps, and Orcas Island Youth Conservation Corps expect to have 40 youth involved this summer. Lopez Island Conservation Corps will be partnering with the Bureau of Land Management and San Juan County Land Bank to improve trail accessibility by spreading gravel at Watmough Bight and Hummel Lake. LICC will also maintain the LIFE Trail, remove invasive species at BLM sites, and work with
the San Juan Conservation District to train youth as energy stewards. The San Juan Island Conservation Corps enters its third season with three middle school crews focusing on island marble butterfly and native plant habitat restoration for the National Park Service, trail maintenance and construction with the SJCLB, and GIS mapping of invasive species and their removal for the BLM. The Orcas Island Youth Conservation Corps, now in its second year, will work with Orcas Parks and Rec to renovate the Vitality Trail in Buck Park. OIYCC will also assist the San Juan Preservation Trust in control of Scots broom on easement properties, help the SJCLB on a waterfront trail in Deer Harbor, and coor-
dinate with the BLM and K’whiat on invasive weed control and trail establishment on the small islands of the San Juan Islands National Monument. In August members of the Washington Trails Association will work with OIYCC on the Mountain Lake trail in Moran State Park. Program funding comes from a range of grants, contracts, and donations. “OIYCC has received wide community support” says Mary Gropp, OIYCC Program Director. “As with the other island youth conservation corps, ongoing funding is an unsolved part of the puzzle. Although nearing our funding goal for 2014, we are still taking donations to support our work. Donations can be made through the Madrona
Institute website, or the Orcas Island Community Foundation GiveOrcas campaign.” In addition to supporting our public lands, crew members get an opportunity to explore future careers, earn community service hours, an educational award, and learn environment education. “Students in conservation corps programs often become employed in public lands as scientists, rangers and educators, become activists for social and ecological justice, organic farmers, informed stewards, and community leaders, all valuable and needed roles in our modern world,” explains Sarah Hanson, SJICC program director. To learn more, get involved, and for individual contact information, visit madrona. org.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) 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.

TLC for Iceberg Point Special to the Weekly
RE-Introducing Jill Audrey Hancock, formerly known as Jill Johnson of A Touch Of Eden Salon (1999-2005) AKA The Butterfly Lady Dear Much Missed Lopezians, About 12 minutes after I left the island 9 years ago seeking travel & adventure I vowed to myself that SOMEDAY, I would return. And when I did I would emerge with a fabulous shop filled with shiny things and beautiful art and luxurious beauty potions… And, of course…all things BUTTERFLY. And so the time has come that on JUNE 5th I will open THE BUTTERFLY BOUTIQUE in the village next door to Gallery 10. Drop in and meet my huge flock of real farm raised preserved butterflies, (26 species this season) chainmail jewelry in copper & sterling silver, butterfly garden seed mixes, Lopezian ornaments, copper fountains and tea party essentials…with more lovely winged accessories & gifts for ladies arriving weekly. All made in the USA by American artists & all in support of my 501 c3 non profit organization to help the monarch butterfly. Are you an unrepresented elsewhere on Lopez artist that creates glorious butterfly art? I would LOVE to meet you & your work! But wait…There’s More… Before & after boutique hours I will slip behind the veil to assist Lopez ladies with their hair styling needs…Specializing in haircutting & coloring. Facial waxing will also be available. I have over 20 years experience and have had extensive advanced training in a variety of cutting & coloring techniques to achieve a customized, natural look just for you. Ladies haircuts including shampoo & styling are $35, $30 for men. Must be at least 13 years of age. Color starts at $50 for glossing, a great no ammonia way to blend greys away, or a retouch. Customized highlights with foils begin at $100 & might be a bit more for those blessed with voluptuous tresses. Consultations are available during boutique hours, or schedule a free appointment & we’ll design a beautiful new style for you over a cup of tea. I am looking forward to seeing familiar faces & catching up on the last decade and meeting new island folks. I hope you’ll stop by on Thursday the 5th from 2-6 for the very first peek, and thru the summer 12-4 Thursdays thru Monday (closed Tues & Wed) If you are a Veteran come in anytime for your FREE seed mix packet to grow a beautiful butterfly garden in memory of my Gunny, and receive 10% off all retail purchases. Marines get 15% off. Thank you for your service and our freedom. Semper Fi Come and claim YOUR wings. Jill Audrey Hancock Aka The Butterfly Lady 360-296-1453 www.TheButterflyLady.org

Nonetheless, three hours and 11 volunteers later, the bed of a park service utility truck was filled to capacity with litter bags filled with styrofoam, plastics, and broken glass. Several large, weatherworn pieces of chemically treated ply-wood, and a discarded vehicle tire were also hauled away. The organizers of the cleanup event were Khorsian Blanc-Ridings, Eli Derzay, Heather Gladstone, and Kim Pascuito. They created the TLC service project as a Lopez-based Earth Day Event. Their collaboration with the Bureau of
Land Management and the San Juan Islands National Monument attracted BLM Ranger and LSJI Alum, Nick Teague, whose expert guidance, ready laughter and hands-on support kept the crew safe and effective. The four Lopez graduates of the 2014 Leadership San Juan Islands program, were fulfilling a service day component of the course. Additional crew volunteers were: co-cohort member David Harsch, Hayley

Much gratitude goes to all these volunteers, as well as Barbara Fulton and Ralph Bladt, for hosting the work crew’s lunch gathering on their land. Ciro Pascuito treated everyone to his homemade wood-fired pizza before the crew, now

The Lopez Co-opperative Preschool asks for donations to the “Change for the Future” fundraiser. Proceeds go toward preschool operating costs, providing scholarships to families in need, and classroom enrichment activities and materials. Our aim is to raise $3,000 says Jennifer Ratza, president of this year’s preschool board. The Lopez Co-operative Preschool has been operating on Lopez for over 30 years, and it is administered and maintained by the parents of preschoolers. Each family shares in the operation of the school, helping to lower operating
costs and tuition. There is one parent present during each preschool session to assist the teachers, support the children, provide snacks, and clean up the classroom. The “Change for the Future” fundraiser goal of $3,000 will close the gap of funding that is needed for the operating cost going into the 2014-15 school year. Look for decorated change containers that are present at businesses around town. Donations can also be dropped off at the Lopez Children’s Center office or mailed to P.O Box 867 attn: Preschool “Change for the Future”.
