Larsen nets decisive win in the primary By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
When push came to shove, it wasn’t even close. Incumbent Rick Larsen, D-Everett, landed the lion’s share of votes in Washington state’s District 2 congressional primary, collecting 56.7 percent of 106,333 ballots cast in the three-way race.

Independent candidate Mike Lapointe, challenging the sixterm congressman for the second-consecutive election, came in a distant third, garnering 11.7 percent of votes cast, 12,417. If the trend holds, Larsen, seeking a seventh-consecutive term in the U.S. House of Representatives, will square off in November against

Republican Party challenger B.J. Guillot. The top two voter-getters advance to the Nov. 4 general election. Gulliot gathered 32.6 percent of ballots cast, a total of 34,688 votes, as of Thursday’s count of election results. “Growing up in Arlington, I learned the values of community, service and commitment. These same values guide my work today,” Larsen said in a post-election press release. “That’s why I’m fighting to raise the federal minimum wage, combat income inequality, create jobs in our community and fix our broken immigration system.” On the eve of the primary, Lapointe drew the endorsement of the San Juan Democratic Party, an abrupt change in course for the group and its long-standing support for the District 2 incumbent. The party cited Larsen’s failure to “adequately” address the negative
impacts of the proposed coal export at Cherry Point and expansion of navy jet-noise from the Whidbey Islandbased fleet of Growlers for breaking ranks with the longtime party favorite. According to Party Chairman David Dehlendorf, the primary results come as no surprise. “Larsen has strong support from the party on the mainland and, as an incumbent, has the allimportant advantage of ‘name familiarity,’” Dehlendorf said. “Mike’s not real well known, particularly on the mainland,” he said. “He’s fighting an uphill battle.” The 2nd District encompasses the entirety of Island and San Juan counties, and portions of Skagit, Snohomish and Whatcom counties, mainly in areas west of Interstate 5. In San Juan County, Lapointe and Guillot ran neckand-neck. Lapointe garnered

Rick Larsen. 22.5 percent of the local vote, 1,085, and Guillot collected 22 percent as of Thursday’s results, 1,058 votes. Roughly 50 more ballots remain to be counted before election results are certified on Aug. 19, according to the county Elections department. The District 2 congressional election is the only contested race on the local primary ballot. In other local primary results, incumbent state 40th district Rep. Kristine Lytton, D-Anacortes, garnered 72 percent of ballots cast, 3,316, and opponent Daniel Miller of San Juan Island collected 28 percent, 1,302. State Rep. Jeff Morris, D-Mount Vernon, drew 3,548 votes in an uncontested race and San Juan County Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord, also unopposed,
drew 3,151 votes (the number of write-in votes are not totaled in local results). As of Thursday, Aug. 7, voter-turnout for the primary in San Juan County total 40.6 percent, with 11,966 registered voters and 4,865 ballots counted. Primary results are expected to be updated Aug. 18.

Furthermore, none of these locales offer a maritime environment in which these aircraft operate. There has also been talk of additional protest and lawsuits.

Natural History with Russel Barsh and Madrona Murphy Oldest towns of Lopez Contributed photo
By Russel Barsh and Madrona Murphy Special to the Weekly
Centuries before the Growth Management Act, Lopez Island hosted yearround settlements with a population roughly the same as today. They did not speak English, of course, but Lkungenung, the Coast Salish language shared by the people we call Saanich, Songhees, Samish and Lummi today. Lkungenung-speaking people lived in at least three large plank-house villages on Lopez, each with a scattering of outlying houses, gardens, reef-net sites, and clam-drying beaches within a mile or so of the core settlement. Based on the size of villages visited by early explorers, this would have represented a total population of 1,800 or more. Houses in the core settlements were constructed of cedar-trunk posts and beams, with walls and roofs
of split cedar boards tied to the frame. Inside, the floor was divided into dozens of family apartments by low walls of woven cattail mats, looking something like the cubicles of a presentday office building; while the rafters supported attic storage space for dried food wrapped in cedar bark paper, blankets and other textiles. In the spring when camas bloomed and salmon began their homeward migrations, households in each village dispersed to production sites, mainly within lineof-site of the main village as a matter of security, and within an hour or two by sailing canoe. The remains of the oldest village on Lopez are located near Richardson. Exposed cultural materials represent at least 7,000 years of human activity, from the seasonal big-mammal hunting camps of the earliest post-glacial visitors, to a year-round plank-house village estab-
lished about the same time as the Roman Republic in Europe. Outlying reefnets, duck nets, shellfish beds and camas gardens extended from Cattle Point on San Juan Island to McKaye Harbor, and around the south end of Lopez. Descendants of the high-status families that lived at Richardson are now enrolled as Samish, Swinomish, Saanich (on Vancouver Island) and elsewhere in the central Salish Sea. A related complex of villages and production sites was located in Lopez Sound, with the largest group of houses at Mud Bay, outlying houses at Hunter Bay and Sperry, and production sites including camas gardens and shellfish beds extending to Swifts Bay and Shoal Bay, where burnt-over gardens were observed by naturalist C.B.R. Kennerly in the 1850s. The plank-house at Mud Bay was at least 800 feet long, judging from

the 1951 state archaeological survey of the site. The house or houses at Swift’s Bay left 700 feet of shell middens. On the west side of Lopez, the core village was at Flat Point, with outlying houses and production centers at Fisherman Bay Spit, and probably also the south-facing bays on Shaw Island. Old-timers told Wayne Suttles that the name of this village was Wulálemus (“facing each other”) because the houses were built on the beaches with the marsh in the middle between them. Settlers ploughed much of the archaeological site, and removed the burials in the 1930s. Nonetheless, the 1951 state archaeological survey found 600 feet of middens and house remains along the waterfront. The leading families of this vil-
lage live today mainly at Lummi, although they are also related to Samish and Saanich families. Reconstructing the geography of pre-Contact Lkungenung Lopez draws on public archaeological surveys conducted in the 1950s through the 1980s; extensive interviews with Coast Salish elders by Blakeley-born anthropologist and linguist Wayne Suttles in the 1930s to his death in 2005; and field studies of exposed middens, soil profiles and relic earthworks by Kwiaht researchers over the last decade.

Kwiaht launches living shorelines program Fisherman Bay homeowners and businesses can now obtain free assessments and landscaping plans for managing shoreline erosion and tidal inundation, thanks to a grant recently made to Kwiaht by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and Wells Fargo. Northwest winters are forecast to grow wetter and stormier, with higher tides and waves. Rates of erosion will increase, shoreline roads will be undercut and large parts of the village and Fisherman Bay Spit will be flooded by winter storm tides. Until recently, the usual response to shoreline ero-
sion was defensive armoring: a wall of wood or concrete (bulkheads), or piles of large rocks (rip-rap). As storm waves continue to pound hard defenses, beaches are scoured away together with the vegetation that provided habitat for shorebirds, beachspawning fish, and juvenile crabs. Even sturdy armoring must be rebuilt periodically, often taller and thicker than before. So-called “soft shore” defenses are actually not much different. Very large quantities of pebbles or gravel are piled along the shoreline and graded, creating a new “beach” of heavier materials that take

Soft-shore treatments slow erosion, but they must also be replaced every 20 years or so, and they do not substitute for lost dunes or salt marshes. A new approach to managing erosion, promoted by marine scientists at NOAA, is building new salt marshes, tidal sloughs, and dunes. Roots bind together sand and organic matter in a flexible, living fabric that can absorb the energy of storm tides and heal itself. Sloughs
and lagoons between homes and the sea can also slow waves and reduce erosion. This approach uses a wide coastal buffer belt of salt marsh gardens instead of

a hard, high heavy wall to defend homes and roads. Apart from simple engineering, modest cost and longevity, “living shorelines” can include attractive salt-tolerant flowering plants such as Henderson’s Checkermallow, and provide homes for shorebirds, songbirds, and butterflies. Homeowners regain acreage and greenery, while reducing the risk of tidal flooding. Most of the construction required for a living shoreline is shoveland-rake labor using sand, compost, and local plant materials. Landscape ecologist
Nathan Hodges and botanist Madrona Murphy lead Kwiaht’s living shorelines design team, and welcome inquiries about assessments. Five Fisherman Bay shoreline properties are already under study.

Lopez celebrates life with Starry Night of the Arts Submitted by Dennis Ryan Special to the Weekly
Graphic design legend Milton Glaser, creator of the I Heart NY logo and founder of New York Magazine said, “Stop thinking of art as an activity totally separate from the human activity; but rather as a part of being human and part of life that is intrinsic, not as a separate event.” In this view, art is us. It reflects life because it is an integral part of being alive. Art can move you, challenge you, change you. Its capacity to explore truth and transform norms, challenge power and to motivate provides us with an important means towards an open society. In recognition of the vital roles of the arts, cities around the world have been holding end-of-summer evening festivals called Night of the Arts. Helsinki was first (l989) with a series of arts-related events in various settings. Paris (2002) aims to make contemporary art accessible to a broad population, engaging the pubic and inspiring dialogue of the significance of the arts on community life. Rome’s Notte Bianca (2005) was in mid-September. A month later, Naples followed. British Light Night festivals began in Leeds (2005) with unusual cultural events that included a string quartet playing at the top of the Town Hall clock tower, a ‘Treasure Hunt’, and three shire horses, an ice cream van and bagpipes. The British Isles (2009) established a network of Light Night towns and cities for supporting cities’ arts venues, theatres, galleries and outdoor spaces. Luminaria, since 2008 and going strong, is San Antonio’s evening-long celebration of the city’s artists, musicians, performers and cultural organizations. Lopez Island (2014) is inaugurating its own unique response to these art-inspired activities. Starry Night of Lopez Arts, on Saturday, August 30 from 6-9 p.m. at Lopez Center, shares in the international movement’s common purposes for starring the arts. • Underscore the critical value of the variety of arts and
culture within the community. • Seek ways to make the arts accessible to everyone and engage the public in art. • Celebrate art and community, express the individual identity and uniqueness of places, and be a bit edgy in pushing the interpretation and roles of the arts. • Proclaim the value of the arts, and have some fun. Starry Night builds on the island’s history of calling attention to the arts at the end of our splendid summers. For the past 17 years, Lopez has celebrated the arts on Labor Day weekend with its Studio Tour where artists open their studios and invite the public to experience first-hand the quality and craftsmanship of the island’s many creative individuals. The free tour attracts 300-400 people per day in this ever-popular event. 36 artists and 24 studios are getting ready for the 18th annual tour, from 10 am – 5 p.m, on Saturday and Sunday. The Tour’s Preview Gallery at the Lopez Center will run from Aug. 12 – Aug. 30. View works from artists on the tour and map out a tour route. Kick off the arts weekend at the Opening Reception on Friday, Aug. 29, from 5-7 p.m. The public is invited. The Starry Night evening is designed for conviviality and celebration, honoring the arts through seven starry galleries: • Best Bites of Lopez’s Culinary Arts: Vita’s, Vortex, Southend Deli’s, Barn Owl Breads, Mary Jension, Bob Wood, The Galley, and Holly B’s. • Lopez Uncorked: Lopez Island Vineyard’s Wines and NW Beers (no host). • Retrospective of Early Lopez Artists: Rob Sterling, Hildegard Goss, Pete Peterson, Shirley Wright, Margaret Tomkins, Greg Ewert and Rod Morgan. Lopez artist Steve Hill will give a brief reappraisal of the works and their place in local history. • Music, including bagpipes, an instrumental duo, and hot CDs for dancing curated by Bill Johnson - Mr. MCDJ. • 2014 Studio Tour Gallery.
• Intriguing Arts Treasure Hunt. • Fabulous Flash Art Event. There will be a roaming photographer to capture it all. Guests are invited to have fun getting dressed as a work of art. Be art-rageous - or not. Starry Night on Aug. 30 is an opportunity to take another look at art, consider its role in our community, this place, and on the quality of life on the island. Tickets are online and at various Lopez outlets. Celebration sponsored by the Lopez Artist Guild and 2014 Studio Tour. Funds raised will support the Guild’s Shirley Wright Scholarship for local high school graduates. For more information, see www.lopezstudiotour.org

Annual Lopez Island Tennis Open success Twenty-three doubles teams and five singles players recently delighted the many spectators at the 14th annual Lopez Open Tennis Tournament. The tournament is sponsored and hosted by the Lopez Island Community Tennis Association at the Lopez Island tennis facility at the school. It is great to see that participation increased significantly from last year. Thursday evening, players and families enjoyed the customary “draw party” potluck hosted by Don Smith and Timothy Maxson. This year two of the four tennis courts have been recently resurfaced thanks to the many generous contributions from players and community-spirited donors. Tax-deductible contributions can still be made to LICTA at P.O. Box 272 in Lopez. Audrey Wakefield, tournament director, said, “This year we again used the popular round-robin format for the early rounds to allow
all players a broad tennis experience and the chance to play a lot of tournament tennis.” Every team played a minimum of 36 games. Top scorers from the roundrobin contests moved on to the semi-finals and finals. In the singles final match local David Hall outlasted the younger newcomer Whit Jamieson from Seattle in two sets (6-3, 6-3). David repeated as the singles champion for the second year in a row. David is now drinking his morning coffee from his traditional “Nancy Bingham” winner’s trophy mug. In the women’s doubles final we watched the most exciting match of the tournament. Melissa Beckman and Annette Alling dropped the first set to Audrey Wakefield and Linda Vint and then came from behind to win the nail-biting second set 7-6 in a tiebreaker. In the third set 10 point tiebreaker Melissa and Annette captured the win (13-11) in an exciting and

In the championship match they had their way with the father-son team of Scott and Whit Jamieson (6-4, 6-3). The showcase mixed doubles final pitted Jill Toney Dann and her young partner Taj Howe from
Orcas Island against Masha Portnaya and Dean Ciano of Seattle. Dann-Howe eked out the first hard-fought set 7-5. Portnaya-Ciano jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second set but Dann-Howe would not be denied and came back to win it 6-4. Mark your calendars. Next year’s tournament is tentatively scheduled for July 31-Aug. 2.

with marine geophysicist Dr. Richard Carlson. Shocking videos from Sumatra (in 2004) and Japan (in 2011) brought earthquakes and tsunamis into our living rooms and their prominence is pertinent to all of us who live along the Pacific’s “Ring of Fire”. In his presentation Only a Matter of Time: Earthquakes & Tsunamis
in Cascadia & the Salish Sea, Dr. Carlson will discuss the history of devastating earthquakes and tsunamis in our Lopez Island region as well as the likelihood of them occurring again.

We thank all of the musicians who generously donated their time, enthusiasm and skill to the event: Lance Brittain on guitar, banjo and mandolin (Lance also checked all of the library’s instruments prior to the event to ensure they were in good working order); John Ditto on keyboard; Tom Felber on bass; the Jensen family – Matt, Beth, Tim, Leah – on trombone, tuba, French horn, and bassoon; Bill Johnson on guitar; Ginni Keith on recorder and flugelhorn; Moana Kutsche on flute (Moana also helped gather musicians from Orcas); Celia Rosenberger and her students Brigid Ehrmantraut, Kai Dibona, Caden Hein, and Monya
Hein on violin, cello and viola; and Nick Teague on ukulele. Thank you to everyone involved. (My apologies to anyone I may have missed). The library has the following instruments available for checkout: acoustic and electric guitars, banjo, cello, clarinet, flugelhorn, French horn, electric keyboard, recorder, ukulele, viola, and violin. We also have a variety of print, audio and other music resources for children and adults. Most rewarding was the competence and confidence of the young musicians and watching them hone their skills by teaching other children. As Celia Rosenberger said, “It was a fantastic opportunity for [her students] to get a chance to be the teachers for a change, and they were all extremely good at it.” Careers are in the making! What wonders will next year bring?

stuff Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
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.

and now a staff reporter for a small-town weekly newspaper in Washington State. Poets Gayle Kaune and Richard Widerkehr chose this issue’s featured poems. Judith Connor continues on as art editor; for the summer issue, she chose luminous watercolor and acrylic paintings by Laurel O’Gorman. Kaune and Widerkehr are in their first turn on the editorial team. Kaune, from Port Townsend, is published widely in literary journals, and her poems have won numerous awards. Widerkehr, also an awardwinning poet, has had two collections of poems and a novel published. He lives in Bellingham. Connor, an artist from St. Paul, MN, is currently creating mosaic fish. “We’ve been fortunate
to work with such brilliant co-editors over the years,” says Reese. “Our publisher, Iris Graville, met Jeremiah while both were students in the MFA program of the Whidbey Writers Workshop. Earlier poetry co-editors John Sangster and Elizabeth Landrum were well-known Lopez poets. When they stepped down, John introduced us to Tom Aslin and Gary Thompson. Tom, in turn, brought us to Gayle and Richard.” About her prose co-editor, Reese notes, “I can’t say enough about Jeremiah O’Hagan, who is exceptionally skilled in the art of the essay and never misses a deadline. His introductions to each issue are thoughtful, probing and often lead to surprising places.” Jeremiah’s piece in the summer edition opens like this: “So much writing doesn’t say what it came to say. So much tries to say more than it was meant to, and sags and splits and spills adjectives and adverbs and unholy descriptive phrases. Or pieces try to cheat, saying less than they need to, and they fail, too.” O’Hagan’s last paragraph left the editors a tiny bit stunned. Founded in 2001 as a
