Island men stand up against violence By Colleen Smith Armstrong Islands Sounder Editor/Publisher
Local men are taking a public stand in opposition to violence against women. Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services of the San Juans has been holding a fundraising campaign to get 100 “stand up” men to donate $100 in tribute to a woman in their life. “This is a way for men to get involved but also be recognized for it,” said DVSAS Community Advocate Alison Sanders. “Men have been honoring daughters, mothers, partners. It’s been really sweet.” Donors have until the end of May to make donations at www.dvsassanjuans.org. The campaign has not yet reached 100 men. Donors and the woman they are

honoring will have their name published in the paper and on the DVSAS website and will receive a handmade card. The contribution will go toward safety planning tools and counseling services for victims and prevention outreach in the schools. “The campaign was our Director Kim Bryan’s idea. We always wanted to do it around Mother’s Day,” said Sanders. “With the start of the men’s action group on San Juan Island, it seemed like there was a lot of movement around mobilizing men. It’s something that all agencies are trying to push.” Richard Lowe, who is the only male victims advocate for DVSAS, is leading the men’s action group. They’ve been meeting for a few months to plan upcoming

In 2014, Lopez High School Senior Miriam Drahn launched an awareness campaign for sexual assault with posters featuring her male classmates. It is an example of boys and men becoming part of the conversation about violence against women. projects. There are twelve group members who range from community leaders to business owners to elected officials. Every Friday they are on the courthouse lawn with signs and hand-outs. “It’s about men approaching men,” he said. “We want to be an example to other men to stop being the silent gender. It’s not a gender problem, it’s a human problem.” Sanders is hopeful that men on Lopez and Orcas will be next up to start an action group. Getting men involved in the violence against women discussion has become a national trend. Groups like A Call to Men, Coaching Boys Into Men, Men Can Stop Rape and MenEngage promote building relationships based on respect and

ered bystanders who can confront abusive peers,” wrote Katz on his website. Sanders says it is important for men to be involved in domestic violence and sexual awareness because the majority of perpetrators are men and the majority of victims are women – although boys and men can certainly be victims of abuse. “We need men to get fired up,” she said.

Author, speaker and activist Jackson Katz led a TED talk entitled “Violence against women – it’s a men’s issue.” He says that gender violence should be approached as something that involves men of all ages and socioeconomic, racial and ethnic backgrounds. He stresses the importance of speaking up. Remaining silent or looking the other way perpetuates violence against women. “View men not only as perpetrators or possible offenders but as empow-

Timers” were sweet and welcoming. I’d never experienced anything like it. I wasn’t content ‘till my boat was sold so there were funds to buy a toehold on “The Rock.” I vowed to always welcome those who came as I had been welcomed. I also vowed to not change the island, well that’s essentially impossible, but I have been fortunate enough to create work and activities that have not depended on “developing” the island. With and without me the island has changed a great deal since I moved here. Now there’s more than one ferry serving the islands. A clinic was built and we got
a real doctor. We have an active business community that serves up wonderful food and a plethora of goods and services we all depend on. In 1968 Lopez had an aging community, with fishing and farming being the traditional way to make a living here. Back then many of the young folks headed for the city. Now there are many young people and babies; we all enjoy all the good energy of the vibrancy that brings. We have been blessed by many new residents who’ve both the financial where-with-all and a vision of community with the generosity and grace to SEE TIMES, PAGE 3

Assault on the archipelago
The EA18G Navy “Growler” jets made the front page of the edition of the Journal, (Lawsuit aims at Growlers,” May 6, pg. 1). When they are active, on San Juan Island, we hear a near-constant rumble that is disquieting; unsettling
to any living thing with the sensitivity to hear it. Though the planes are flying from Whidbey Island, their health-damaging noise has also invaded my own home throughout the day and into the late evening. So the people affected by these planes are not just those in the flight path. This is the sound of the loudest warplanes in his-

Anyone can rent Lopez Community Center Last month Lopez Center demonstrated its value to the island as a venue and gathering place. The Ruth Moody Band and Acrobatic Conundrum performed for sold-out audiences, community organizations and members produced Solar de Mayo, Procession of the Species, Great Pairings, and the Lamb and Wool Festival, to name just a few. Many more events are planned for the season ahead. The center is clearly living up to its mission: to provide something for everyone. See the full listing of upcoming events at www. lopezcenter.org. What’s not so well known is how easy and affordable it is to rent Lopez Center for an event. Who can rent the Center? Just about anyone: Lopez residents, property owners, visitors, nonprofit organizations, and community service groups. It can be rented for community or private use. Lopez Center is available for all, regardless of age, religion, race, sex or sexual orientation. Lopez center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit and is not legally allowed to limit rentals, unless unlawful or hateful activities take place. In addition, for-profit entities are prohibited from raising funds due to a property tax exemption clause that Lopez Center holds. What does it cost to rent Lopez Center? Fees depend on the type of use: community or private. Community events are open to and benefit the Lopez community. These events are created by individuals and organizations that provide fun, recreational, entertaining, cultural and educational services to the community. Nonprofit organizations can raise funds during their events. The basic cost for a community event runs from $25 to $45 per hour, depending on the technical services needed. There are significant discounts for multiday and weeklong rentals. Private events are those not covered by the above definition. Most weddings or private parties are in this category. The basic cost range is $55 to $75 per hour. How do you rent the center? The first step is to go online to www.lopezcenter.org and click “Reserve the Center.” Here you’ll find clear instructions as well as detailed information about policies, types of use, rental and equipment fees, and technical packages. Click on the headings to the left of the text for even more information: floor plan, table settings, a wedding section and much more. The center can be rented up to 12 months in advance. If you don’t have access to the internet, contact Lopez Center at 468-2203. In a category all to itself are two uses that do not charge a rental fee. The first are memorials for recent or former Lopez residents. These must be arranged by the family directly with Lopez Center office. The second type of use that does not charge a rental fee is known as Free Wednesday Mornings and are available only for Lopez residents. The events or classes must be open to the public and are restricted to one hour (including setup and cleanup), for a maximum of four consecutive weeks at a time. No money may exchange hands. If you have any questions about rentals, want to start a reservation or see the upcoming schedule, please visit our website www.lopezcenter.org or stop by the office.

share their good fortune in many ways. The San Juan Preservation Trust has had the positive impact of saving hundreds of acres of spectacular and environmentally endangered properties on the islands. New residents have shared their talents and energy and put together a wonderful school and super recycling, delicious organic produce and on and on… However, not all the changes have been great. The negative changes are directly related to the impact of the ever increasing number of us. The rush to have a piece of the action here is like an island’s gold rush. People have bought land for second or even third homes, running land prices up so high that it excludes young folks (many of whom grew up on the island) from ever being able to own a piece of “The Rock.” Riding the ferries these days, especially in the ever expanding tourist season can be grueling. The reservation system leans towards accommodating the tourists. Last year, by getting to the ferry early I could get a ride. Now someone from Kansas having a “destination” wedding on San Juan in July can have their guests reserve 150 auto spaces on one ferry. I don’t know about you but when I visit the village I like to see the same person more than once. We are all tourists at times, but community comes from friends and family. It is difficult to construct a real and meaningful community
from tourists. Each island’s Chamber of Commerce is working hard to promote the islands as a destination. That’s good for business, and I am thankful for most all of our island businesses, especially those that work to retain the character of the islands, who serve the community year-round and that are managed by locals who own them. But, all of us know there is never quite enough money. Many multimillionaires feel this way. So does that mean we pull out all the stops for commerce? We all need to stay in contact with reality about the number of visitors that really are good for us. Unless we want uncontrolled growth here we are stuck with the reality that these islands won’t always have a steady supply of customers eager to give us their money. To add to that, every would-be restaurateur, (or whatever kind of business person) that comes here and sees your place full of happy people wants to open their business across the
street so they can share the wealth! We need to use caution so we don’t “throw the baby out with the bath water”. Uncontrolled growth is the definition of cancer. These islands are finite; our sweet local communities are our real wealth. I remember when Frank Leeming came here, bought the Friday Harbor Journal and proclaimed he was going to put these sleepy backwater islands “on the map.” He was pretty successful at getting the word out. He made his money, but Frank had bigger fish to fry and he moved on in a short while. Like Leeming there are folks here that know the cost of everything but the value of nothing. None-theless much of the sweetness is still here. We love these magical islands and that certainly includes the Chamber of Commerce folks. Most all of us want to preserve our communities, but at times we are not always wise enough to see the folly in our own well-

Island promoters need to be responsible to the whole population, not just those who stand to profit financially by it. I would bet we have reached a place in time where, no matter what, the folks are going to keep coming. If the chambers were to provide information on lodging, ferries, activities, etc. but did very little promotion, growth here would be a more manageable but steady amount. That might allow our islands (and the ferry system) to accommodate the changes more gracefully. These islands were absolutely perfect before you or I ever set a foot on them. Let us all work together toward preserving the islands natural beauty as well as nurturing our beloved small town communities.

New kiosk at L.I.F.E. trail Dinosaur bones found on Sucia Island
The L.I.F.E. Trail has a beautiful new kiosk to help guide and orient those who use the trail. The entrance to the trail is located on the Lopez School campus near the tennis courts. The trail is open to everyone, sunrise to sunset, 365 days a year. The trail is part of a one-mile loop that includes a rare deciduous wetlands wildlife habitat, as described on the new interpretive sign. A group devoted to the trail, including Amanda Wedow and Liz Scanton, provided direction, and Brenna Jael designed, painted and installed the new kiosk. Wedow heads up the Lopez Conservation Corps, a nonprofit group that provides
opportunities for youth to participate in environmental conservation in San Juan County; they provide maintenance for the trail. On Thursday, May 28 from 5:30-7 p.m., there will be a special event at the Lopez School as part of the Evening Meals at School: celebration of the new L.I.F.E Trail Kiosk and LIFE Garden Open House. There will also be student music performances at 6:30 p.m. To participate, come to the MultiPurpose Room at the school and enjoy a chef-prepared meal of local food, sponsored by the Lopez Locavores, donation only. All are welcome. For more information call Michele Heller 468-3618 or email micheleheller@mac.com.

Burke Museum paleontologists have published a description of the first dinosaur fossil from Washington state. The fossil was collected by a Burke Museum research team along the shores of Sucia Island State Park in the San Juan Islands. Burke Museum researchers discovered the fossil while collecting ammonite fossils (a creature with a spiral shell) from a marine rock unit known as the Cedar District Formation. The researchers first noticed a small section of exposed bone on the surface of the rocks, then returned with a team of paleontologists to help excavate the fossil so it could be studied at the Burke Museum. A new study by Burke Museum Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology Dr. Christian Sidor and University of Washington Department of Biology graduate student Brandon Peecook describes the find in the journal PLOS ONE. The fossil is a partial left femur of a theropod dinosaur, the group of two-legged, carnivorous dinosaurs that includes Velociraptor, Tyrannosaurus rex and modern birds. The fossil is 16.7 inches long and 8.7 inches wide. Because the fossil is incomplete, paleontologists aren’t able to identify the exact family or species it belonged to. However, Dr. Sidor and Peecook compared the fossil to other museums’ specimens and were able to calculate that the complete femur would have been over 3 feet long – slightly smaller than T. rex. The fossil is from the Late Cretaceous period and is approximately 80 million years old. Although incomplete, Sidor and Peecook were able to determine the femur is from a theropod dinosaur for two reasons: 1. The hollow middle cavity of the bone (where marrow was present) is unique to theropods during this time period, and 2. A feature on the surface of the bone (the fourth trochanter) is prominent and positioned relatively close to the hip, which is a combination of traits known only in some theropods among dinosaurs. “This fossil won’t win a beauty contest,” Sidor said. “But fortunately it preserves enough anatomy that we were able to compare it to other dinosaurs and be confident of its identification.” “The fossil record of the west coast is very spotty when compared to the rich record of the interior of North America,” said Peecook. “This specimen, though fragmentary, gives us insight into what the west coast was like 80 million years ago, plus it gets Washington into the dinosaur club!” Washington is now the 37th state where dinosaurs have been found. Why have no dinosaurs been found in Washington state until now? Dinosaur bones are found in rocks from the time periods in which they lived (240–66 million years ago). Washington state was mostly underwater during this period, so Washington has very little exposed rock of the right age. Because dinosaurs were land

Brandon Peecook, University of Washington graduate student animals, it is very unusual to find dinosaur fossils in marine rocks –making this fossil a rare and lucky discovery. How did the dinosaur get to Sucia Island State Park? Eighty million years ago, the rocks that today form Sucia Island were likely deposited farther south. How much farther south is a topic of scientific debate, with locations ranging between present day Baja California, Mexico, and northern California. Earthquakes and other geologic forces that constantly reshape our planet moved the rocks north to their present-day location. Why is the fossil at the Burke Museum? The Burke Museum is the Washington State Museum of Natural History and Culture. Burke Museum paleontologists were issued scientific collecting permits by Washington State Parks prior to excavating the fossil. Fossil exploration and collection on state land is legal only with proper permits issued for legitimate scientific research. Any items discovered in permitted scientific exploration are considered publicly owned and remain the property of Washington State Parks collections. The fossil is held in trust by the Burke Museum on behalf of State Parks. “This is a very exciting discovery,” said Lisa Lantz, stewardship manager for the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission. “It underscores the importance of protecting natural places for the long-term benefit of the public – not only for recreation, but for important scientific research.” State Parks provides interpretation of natural and cultural resources and regularly partners with the Burke Museum to study, curate and share Washington’s natural and cultural heritage. Washington’s first dinosaur fossil is now on display in the Burke Museum’s lobby.

location for the Lopez Grow a Row program. With these new changes taking place, this article is meant to help answer questions about the program and encourage all Lopezians to take part in the effort of keeping our food sources local, healthy and sustainable for all island residents. So what does sustainability through the Grow a Row program mean for our community? Food Sustainability: Grow a Row encourages sustainable food production on Lopez by asking residents to plant vegetables and fruit wherever they can. The equation is simple: more gardens means more local food. The added altruistic twist occurs when you donate your delicious garden goodies to the Lopez Fresh Grow a Row program. It could be a row of sweet, crunchy carrots, a tomato pot on your front porch or a portion of your overall garden harvest. Whether you decide to plant a lot or a little is up to you. When you come to drop off vegetables please be sure to have them prewashed and write down what you have brought on the drop-off clipboard. To
help make gardening more accessible, Lopez Fresh will intermittently have free seeds and vegetable starts to give away. Economic Sustainability: occurs through the Lopez Fresh Grow a Row program in two main ways. With housing, transportation, food and electric costs on the rise household budgets continue to tighten for many families and individuals. Having a free source of fresh food can help lighten the high cost of island living that many residents choose to bear. Indeed, part of what makes that choice a bit easier is believing that your community is willing and able to support you when needed. Another hope is that by nurturing a fresh food culture on Lopez more and more islanders will be inclined to value sustainable, healthy and local food production. One perfect illustration of this was last summer when a volunteer gardener overheard two women gleefully exclaiming, “Oh my, look at those carrots!...Those are some real carrots,” as they opened the Lopez Fresh fridge to

find a whole box of carrots she had just dropped off. After all, financial realities are not fixed for life. People who currently do not have a flexible income for purchasing pricier organic local produce may be more inclined to do so in the future if they have been able to access delicious Lopez fruits and vegetables during even the most difficult of times. Social Sustainability: starts with you. Grow a Row is only an idea that holds very little ground without the support and participation of the community. Currently, volunteers pick up donated items and buy dairy and produce from Blossom Grocery and the Lopez Village Market for Lopez Fresh seven days a week. But in order to be truly sustainable we need to have a diverse volunteer group and diverse food sources. Will you join in our vegetable melting pot? If you would like to become a Lopez Fresh volunteer or have a garden/ orchard and need help getting the food to Lopez Fresh, contact Alaya Battalia at 4684117 or send an email to alaya@lifrc.org. All vegetable donations can be dropped off in the Lopez Fresh shed, which is located next to Children’s Center/under the outdoor stairs leading up to the Family Resource Center. Stay tuned to Lopez Rocks and the Family Resource Center website for Grow a Row updates.
