Ferry Native art comes alive Primary election fare to results increase Journal staff report

By Oct. 1: 2.5 and 1 percent for car and walk-on, respectively By Meredith M. Griffith Journal contributor

Ferry fares will be going up again this fall. The Washington State Transportation Commission voted unanimously on Aug. 4 to raise ferry fares, spurred on by a directive in the 2015-2017 state transportation budget that requires Washington State Ferries to generate an additional $8.1 million between July 1, 2015, and June 30, 2017. “I think people understand that the legislature sets the expectation for how much ferry users need to contribute to ferry operations,” Paul Parker, the commission’s deputy director, told the Sounder. “The question facing the commission is, how is that $8.1 million raised?” Beginning on Oct. 1, car and driver ferry tickets will cost 2.5 percent more, and passenger tickets will cost 1 percent more. The fares are scheduled to see an identical increase again in May 2016. The commission expects the fare hikes to help generate the $357 million required by the 2015-17 state transportation budget. The commission’s stated goal is to increase walk-on ridership over vehicles by raising passenger fares less than vehicle fares. This differential fare increase was proposed in 2013. In October 2013, vehicle fares were raised 3 percent, while passenger fares only rose by 2 percent. In May 2014, vehicle fares rose another 2-and-a-half percent, while passenger fares rose just 2 percent. “Growing the gap between vehicle and passenger fares is following the Washington Transportation See FERRY, Page 4

Heavy drumbeats from across the water announced the arrival of the Chief George Hunt Memorial Dance Group to Henry Island Friday, Aug. 7. The members of Kwakwaka’wakw Nation came to bless a totem pole commissioned by Craig Tall for McCracken Point, carved by Tom D. Hunt, son of hereditary Chief George Hunt and Mary Hunt. The 35 foot tall, 9,000 pound totem pole was carved from a single tree, and started out weighing seven tons. The pole features an eagle at the top with its wings outstretched, a seal, sea lions, salmon eggs, a raven and an orca whale, as well as a bubble man, a traditional figure in Kwakwaka’wakw Nation artwork. Kwakwaka’wakw means “people who speak Kwak’wala,” and the First Nations group is made up of many Kwak’wala speaking tribes from Vancouver Island and British Columbia. “It is the aesthetic of where we come from, that is what the art form means,” explained Kevin Cranmer of the Kwakwaka’wakw Nation to the crowd gathered at the totem pole. Cranmer explained that each animal and carving represented a familial link, or connection to a place. Tall said he hoped that the totem pole could be a gift to McCracken Point, which faces Canada.

He thanked Lee Brooks of Arctic Raven Gallery, Deb Nolan, and Henry Island caretakers Mark Yerex and Lori Twietmeyer for their help with the immense project. “We talked a lot about what story we wanted to tell with the totem pole,” Tall said. “Instead of telling the story of our family, we wanted to tell the story of the animals on McCracken Point.” According to Tall’s daughter Kristina Gladstein, the totem pole and the blessing ceremony were life-long wishes finally fulfilled for her and her father, recalling her childhood time spent in the islands and on Henry Island with her family. “To get the opportunity to take care of this land feels so special, it’s a real responsibility,” Gladstein said of McCracken Point. “To own this piece of land, we really feel more like stewards.” During the blessing, Chief Bill Cranmer, Tall and Gladstein encircled the totem pole wearing traditional Kwakwaka’wakw robes and headdresses made of abalone shell and fur, dusting the ground with eagle down to bless the guests and earth. A Tła’sala, or peace dance, was performed after the blessing, and Chief Cranmer spoke to the crowd about the importance of keeping First Nation cultures vibrant, reminding the audience that Kwakwaka’wakw ceremonies such as these were banned from 1884 until 1951. See TOTEM, Page 5

The votes for the Public Hospital District #1 Hospital Commissioner position 2 primary are in: candidates Barbara Sharp and Michelle Loftus will continue to the general election in November. “I was very happy with the results,” Sharp said, adding that her campaign was also excited about the results. “We are looking forward to proceeding to the general election and talking to voters on the island about the issues. We’ll also have a booth at the county fair, and I hope to talk to islanders at that venue.” Barbara Sharp had 1,425 votes, which is 65.85 percent of all ballots cast as of Aug. 7. Michelle Loftus had 610 votes, which is 28.19 percent. Daniel Miller garnered 129 votes as of Aug. 7, or 5.96 percent of the votes, eliminating him from the running. The next ballot count will be Aug. 17. See ELECTION, Page 4

All day kindergarten announced Friday Harbor Elementary School is offering free fullday kindergarten. According to Principal Diane Ball, an increase in state funding has allowed the school to hire two new teachers, resulting in the all-day kindergarten and low class sizes. Each of three kindergarten and first grade classes are at 17-18 students; second and third grade classes range from 19-22 students; and the average for grades 4-6 is 25. “As promised, our youngest learners will experience an appropriate balance of academics and play,” Ball said. “The new full-day kindergarten program will provide instruction through discovery, interaction, creativity, problem-solving, and conversation in an environment that is safe, positive, age-appropriate, play-based, and balanced between independence and structure.”

The three full-day kindergarten teachers are Holly Wehner, Heather Mueller and new teacher Stephanie Levasheff. Students in first through sixth grades will start on Sept. 3. Kindergarten students start Sept. 8. A Family Connection Meeting will be Thursday, Sept. 3 or Friday, Sept. 4. Parents will receive a letter during the week of Aug. 17 notifying them which teacher their student has been assigned to and the date of their Family Connection Meeting. Kindergarten teachers will meet their students during a special Kindergarten Welcome on Sept. 2, 1-3 p.m. The regular Welcome Back from students in first to sixth grades is from 2-3 p.m. the same day. Staff will work with parents desiring to have their child in a half-day kindergarten program. For info call Diane Ball at 378-5209.

The bidder will win a cabin for two with three gourmet meals a day aboard the M/V Catalyst on Sept. 26 for six days. Terry Ogle is a long time local islander with cancer. He is now preparing for a Stem Cell Transplant in Seattle. The associated costs are extremely high and this fundraiser will help.

Democrats endorse Harrington State’s Reproductive Privacy Act and Death With Dignity Act, both of which San Juan County voters overwhelmingly approved. “We believe noncompliance with either of these Acts undermines the will of the voters and puts the district at risk of legal action. Ms. Harrington has the business background, knowledge of State health law, and commitment to the public interest to help

assure that Hospital District #1 fully complies with its responsibilities,” said SJC Democrats. The Democrats also urge the election of other hospital district candidates who support the state’s Reproductive Privacy Act and Death with Dignity Act. Voters will have to opportunity to vote for hospital commissioner candidates for Position 2, Position 3 and Position 5. For more infor-

Ferry:

Continued from page 1 Plan and the WSF/WSTC Joint Recommendations on Operational and Pricing Strategies,” noted the commission in its Aug. 4 presentation. Parker said that most Ferry Advisory Committee members publicly opposed the differential fare increase policy, but said “their recommendations didn’t mesh with the approach that was taken.” When queried about islanders who often depend on their vehicles to retrieve substantial quantities of essential goods like food from the mainland, Parker answered, “It probably works a bit differently for those in the central Puget Sound area than in the San Juan Islands. The commission certainly understands the differences between the San Juans and Vashon as places where people are totally reliant upon the ferry system to get on and off island.”

But in defense of the differential policy, he added, “It’s obviously very expensive to build vessels that can carry cars; there is limited capacity for vehicles, but there is always excess capacity for people, so the legislature has directed the ferry system and commission to look at ways to increase the utilization of the passenger deck. That’s the rationale.” While fares for most will rise in October, a few drivers will get a small reprieve: the current surcharge for over-height vehicles under 22 feet in length will be dropped. Also, qualifying disability vehicles from 22- to 30-feet long will be allowed greater leeway, with surcharges waived for any over-height vehicle features needed to accommodate disabilities. Height regulations for other large vehicles will actually tighten by five inches in May 2016, when the over-height fare threshold for vehicles 22- to 30-feet long will be reduced from the current 7 feet, 6 inches, to 7 feet, 2 inches. This change will help WSF to better allocate available space, because the Jumbo, Super, Olympic

On these vessels, vehicles just under 7 feet, 6 inches must be loaded in the vessels’ taller spaces, but don’t yet pay extra for the privilege. The commission took public input during three outreach meetings in early July on Friday Harbor, Whidbey Island and Bremerton. The Friday Harbor meeting was streamed live in real-time on the Internet for observation, and questions were taken via email during the meeting. The WSTC also held a virtual, online meeting, and took additional input during the final Aug. 4 hearing. The San Juan Island event saw just three members of the public and three county commissioners; Clinton and Bremerton had 12 attendees each; and one person attended the online meeting and the final hearing.

included opposition to the fare increase, and opinions that walk-on passengers, island residents and/or regular commuters should pay lower ridership costs.

Hancock running for hospital commissioner William Hancock has announced his candidacy for hospital district position #5. Hancock went to medical school at the University of Washington School of Medicine in 1967. Locally, he is president elect of Rotary Club of San Juan Island. Hancock and his wife Cheri moved to the islands 17 years ago. To read his full statement and see his photo visit www.sanjuanjournal.com. The following is an excerpt from his candidacy statement: “Since earning my doctor of medicine degree in 1967, service to patients and advocacy for their

rights has been the primary focus of my professional training and of my entire career. Improving other people’s quality of life brings me great personal satisfaction. As a public hospital district commissioner I can work to preserve all islanders’ access to the broad range of superior health care services that have recently been made available to us at Peace Island Medical Center. I am well qualified to be entrusted with the responsibilities of this office. In 1985 I opened one of the first privately owned eye surgical centers in Washington. By the time of my

retirement in December of 2008, my company, Northwest Eye Surgeons, was operating five such centers in western Washington. We employed 13 doctors and 175 technical staff. I will not make promises that I cannot keep. I do promise to respectfully listen to islanders’ health care concerns. Dollars committed through the EMS Levy and the PIMC subsidy agreement must be responsibly spent with due regard to economic necessities and current legal requirements. I can effectively oversee these health care issues because I have 30 years

CPR training can save lives By Cali Bagby Interim Editor

While on vacation, Ben Heege had no idea that he would save a man’s life. But that is what happened. On July 23, Heege and his family headed to Lopez Island to enjoy the beautiful scenery. During their stay they visited a friend who lives part-time on the island. When the Heeges arrived at the home of Joey Johnson they exchanged greetings.

Totem:

Continued from page 1 “All of our people can be proud of what we see here today,” he said. “It takes a lot to hold these things together, when talking about our history and our culture.” The group performed the Hamat’sa, which told the story of the spirit of Baxbaxwalanuksiwe’, the man eater from the North end of the world, by dancing, singing and drumming. The dancers wore bird masks and cocked their heads back and forth, ensconced in shredded cedar bark and sprinkled with eagle down. Chief Cranmer spoke a final thank you to Tall and Gladstein, and the guests wandered off across the meadow to return to their respective islands, marveling at the stunning display of art, performance and tradition.

But within minutes of their arrival Johnson collapsed. They would later learn that Johnson was suffering from cardiac arrest. Johnson’s wife dialed 911 and Heege began to give CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation) using techniques he had learned 10 years ago. “I felt scared for him and his family, but I felt like [CPR] was the one thing I could do,” said Heege. After 12 minutes of CPR, Lopez EMS arrived on the scene and continued resuscitation efforts before flying the patient to a mainland hospital. “Without his help and initiating CPR we would have

had a much longer shot at saving this man’s life,” said one of the paramedics. Johnson was released from the hospital last week and is expected to make a full recovery. “It basically came out of nowhere,” said Johnson, who has been athletic and healthy his entire life. Johnson said it’s hard to comprehend the whole ordeal at this time, but that he is grateful to Heege and the EMS teams whose efforts saved his life. His wife plans on getting CPR-trained in the near future. To receive CPR training on San Juan visit http://sanjuanems.org/ or call 378-5152 ext. 3.

of personal experience in controlling medical costs without sacrificing quality of care. It is critical that we develop attitudes of public cooperation instead of confrontation among all of our health care agencies. Cooperation and mutual respect are essential for us to adapt to major health care problems, such as inadequate health insurance, that currently threaten the security and dignity of all islanders. Stop by my booth at the fair. I am eager to hear your questions, concerns and hopefully some complements about your health care experiences on island.”

Why no helipad?

Imagine you are a cardiac patient and time is equal to remaining heart muscle. Whether by fixed wing or helicopter, you want to minimize the number of times you as a patient are transferred in and out of vehicles in route to a critical care facility because multiple transports of any kind increase risk. These risks also include equipment malfunctions, critical tubes dislodging, IV’s infiltrating – but the most important risk

of all is losing precious time. So I am having trouble understanding why our new hospital, built with a great deal of funding from the community, does not have a helipad to benefit that community. Why does the helicopter land at the Friday Harbor Airport, requiring a crew and their equipment to be transported around the block 0.3 miles to the hospital using up valuable time– and then the reverse with the patient finally aboard the ambulance and back to the airport again? The helicopter should land at a helipad at the hospital for a single swift trip to retrieve the waiting patient. This makes no sense. Furthermore, while this unnecessary re-routing is occurring it takes up the valuable time and resources of our paramedics, as well as taking an aid unit out of service that could be potentially needed by another citizen. In real life, we don’t get a note that gives us a “heads up” so we can prepare for a heart attack, stroke, or accidental injury. But if that day does come, our community should do everything in our power beforehand to increase the chances of holding our loved ones again. A helipad is that opportunity.

Applause for Stage Left shows

How fortunate we are to have Stage Left’s “Shakespeare Under the Stars” every summer here for the past 17 years! We saw this year’s production of “Cymbeline” last weekend, and again we were impressed by the professional quality of acting and production. In this condensed version, Shakespeare seems to have pulled out all the stops with many of his familiar plot lines stitched up anew. You are carried forward with sound and fury until finally he pulls it all together and everyone takes a bow. When asked her favorite part, our seven-year-old granddaughter said she liked “all the body parts.” Don’t miss it and you’ll see what she meant! (It is now at the Wold Road theater for the next few weeks.) Thank you again, Stage Left! RITA WEISBROD Friday Harbor

Let’s talk about Mount Grant! For all the mailings, articles, buttons and websites, some confusion remains. It is a new name for an old place; until recently it was known as “Lawson Ridge.” Many islanders have known how special it is over the last few decades, visiting its lovely woods and summit views overlooking Beaverton Valley, Griffin Bay, outer islands, and more.

While privately owned, it was a hidden treasure, but now, with your help, it faces a future as a publicly owned and maintained preserve. Off West Side Road, it is 144 acres of forested hillsides and natural areas begging for a network of trails to guide us up to and around the summit. Opportunities abound for school groups, conservation work, photographers, yoga practitioners, star gazing, bird watching, yodeling with a view, you name it! Two organizations are collaborating to create this. The San Juan County Land Bank, a land trust supported by public funds, and the San Juan Preservation Trust, a private land trust supported by private donations. These two organizations will purchase it and maintain it forever (a very long time!). In addition to half of the purchase price, SJPT will contribute another $1 million to support its stewardship. The SJPT is about halfway to the goal. We need your help and appreciate all donations, large and small. The preserve is always open to “non-motorized” visitors. It is a one mile trip to the summit. Walk around the gate. Through August, the summit road is also open to cars on Sundays, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Go take a look! This is a place you

will want to return to again and again. When the ferns on the rock wall are green, when the snow is falling, when the wildflowers are returning, and when all those summer visitors need to get out of your kitchen! As an SJPT trustee and a fan of the Land Bank, I urge you to visit Mount Grant to see if you don’t agree that it is an exciting endeavor worthy of your support. Please help us create this valuable and lasting island legacy! ALICE HURD Friday Harbor

Life and death

Thank you for placing an article about death and dying on your front page this week! Great interest exists on how to become permanent San Juan Island residents, yet information on how to make that a reality eludes many people. To help address that need, Hospice of San Juan offers a monthly session called “Coping with Change” that seeks to provide people with nuts-and-bolts information about end-of-life issues and how to live and die here on the island. So far this year we’ve discussed the Death With Dignity Act, how to formulate advanced directives, what the POLST form is and how it’s used, planning for

Mt. Grant splendor

We just climbed to the top of Mount Grant. It is so magnificent that we sent $100 to the campaign to Save Mount Grant. Being “foreigners” from Colorado, we have our mountain vistas. But seldom have we seen such a spectacular view of both mountains and sea. Have you “natives” given? It is so worth preserving. DICK AND DOTTIE LAMM Denver, Colo.

Editorial

Guest column

Getting away Mt. Grant – It’s in our backyard from it all? By Theresa Simendinger Special to the Journal

By Cali Bagby Interim editor

I moved to the islands to get away from the rows of fast food chains, the congestion of highways and byways and the concrete that covers every inch of city streets. But when I packed my belongings and boarded that ferry, I traded in a few things. The most important of those things was the ability to get to a fully equipped hospital without taking to the air or a boat. The reality of that choice took many months to settle in. The weight of that decision has increased in my mind during the last few weeks as I reported on the coroner’s job of dealing with death on the island (see the story in the Aug. 5 edition) and this week when I wrote a story about someone who saved another person’s life with CPR (see page 5). What struck me was that our lives can hang so precariously and mere minutes can change whether we live or die. For 12 minutes one man performed CPR and within 12 minutes EMS personnel were there to save the man. But how many of us live deep in the woods or up on a hill or by ourselves? Some of us do not have 12 minutes to spare. For those of us who live in isolation it is imperative that you and your loved ones receive CPR training. How often in life do we have the opportunity to change someone’s life forever? Visit sanjuanems.org/ or call 378-5152 ext. 3. to receive CPR training on San Juan Island. It is time to get the tools to make living on this beautiful island even more like paradise.

ob Demar rode his motorcycle up to the top of Mount Grant one lovely Sunday afternoon, and I happened to be volunteering as a “summit docent.” As he parked his motorcycle he asked “What are you selling?” I smiled back “A mountain!” After looking at the stunning view, Bob was sold. He donated $100 on the spot, and soon received a Mt. Grant hat. Bob began to think about his friend, Allan Elder, 80 and living at Life Care and confined to a wheelchair following a stroke. Allan had told Bob stories of his years with the U.S. Forest Service manning fire lookouts. His “beat” was the Kern Plateau in California’s Sierra Range. He “loved it like it was my backyard.” Wanting to see it preserved, Allan Elder spent years working to save what is now the Golden Trout Wilderness. Bob called me and wondered how we could get Allan a Mt. Grant hat. In talking to Allan, he said how much he would love to see Mt. Grant. It was proposed to Life Care we take a group up to the top. With a little coordination and Life Care’s help, we gathered Allan and a few of his pals earlier this week. On a sunfilled day we drove up to see views of snowy mountains in two directions, and dark silhouettes of the San

Juan Islands to the east. I asked Thor Hanson, cochair of the Campaign to Save Mount Grant, to meet the van up there to present Allan the cap, in honor of his work preserving special wild places. The radiant faces on these folks from the center as they looked out over the spectacular views and the joy of being able to ride up the lovely mountain road was worth the hard hours put in by the Preservation Trust team to make this dream come true for all. The reality of having the road up for people incapable of hiking up is invaluable. Soon people visiting friends and family or at our retirement centers will be able to make

a charming day’s outing here. Comments from the group included, from Jean Hendrickson, 77, “What a joy to see this, I have lived here for 24 years and did not know it was even here.” And from Allan Elder, “I wanted to help as soon as I heard about it from Bob. But now that I see it I think it really is beautiful. Really worth saving. How I love being here!” The San Juan Trails Committee fully supports the Campaign to Save Mount Grant. I have worked with them many years to help establish trails for hikers, equestrians and cyclists on this island, and I am supporting the Campaign to

Save Mount Grant because it is truly a gift to everyone. Not just for hikers, equestrians, cyclists and my new motorcycle friend, Bob, but for Allan and Jean and everyone. Funds raised for the Mount Grant project through the San Juan Island Community Foundation’s Fair Matching Grant program during the four fair days Aug. 12-15 will be matched 50 cents on the dollar and will be used to build permanent paths at the top of Mt. Grant, so that families with young children and elderly and wheelchair-bound visitors may access the summit viewpoints.

Keeping crayons out of landfills By Meg Strehlou Meiland

Special to the Journal

I am nine years old and a 4H member. This year my 4H Fair project is about recycling crayons and why it is important to recycle them instead of throwing them away. Crayons are made with petroleum-based wax that eventually ends up in our landfills and doesn’t break down. More

than 12 million crayons are made in the U.S., every day. Twelve million crayons equals about 120,000 pounds. That’s 60 tons of crayons made every day! That’s why we should recycle them. It would help if parents and kids could bring their old crayons to the fair. I have a jar in the 4H building. I will recycle any used crayons people put in it. I hope to see you at the fair. Thank you. For information call 378-8337.

Eight community projects at fair Submitted by The San Juan Island Community Foundation

We invite all fairgoers to visit our San Juan County Fair booth in the main hall this week to learn about and support eight special community projects. Every dollar raised during the four days of the fair will be matched 50 percent by the Community Foundation. The eight community projects to be featured at this year’s fair are: Friday Harbor Animal Protection Society’s new shelter, Women’s Fund membership drive – goal of 25 new members, Family Resource Center’s senior household essentials program, Friday Harbor Elementary School’s young scholarships enrichment program, Spring Street International School scholarships for local students, San Juan Preservation Trust’s summit accessibility project for Mt. Grant, Friday Harbor Athletic Association ballfields project, Peace Island Medical Center’s Cancer Care support programs. Nonprofit representatives and Community Foundation staff and board members will be on hand to answer questions on each project. Additionally, on the last day of the fair, a drawing from all fair donors will allow the winner to designate an additional $1,000 to be awarded to any of the eight featured projects.

Obituaries Adah Geraldine (Jeri) Lawson: 1924—2015 Adah Geraldine (Jeri) Lawson passed away peacefully Aug. 2, 2015 after a short stay at Whatcom Hospice House in Bellingham, Wash. Jeri was born Jan. 8, 1924, in Friday Harbor, Wash. to Gunder and Adah Halvorsen. Jeri lived her entire life on San Juan Island and resided in just two homes. As a young girl she helped deliver milk all over the island with her dad for their family-owned dairy. On

rides around the island she loved to point out all the places they delivered milk and remember the varied requests by their customers. Jeri married Gilbert Lawson (Bert), a second generation islander in 1942 and for years was a homemaker, raised a family, and worked on the farm on West Valley Road where she lived until 2010. All three of her children, Victor, Richard and Ruthie were born in the farm house with little

assistance. “Farm girls are tough,” said Jeri. During the years when her children were young, Jeri worked on the farm helping to raise ducks, chickens, pigs, beef cows, dairy cows and a very large garden. She helped butcher animals for food and preserved all kinds food to fill the family larder for the winter. One method of fiscal sustainability for the farm was selling butchered rabbits to the Pike Place Market. Rabbits were hunted with a “rabbit car” by spotting and netting them at night. Once caught they were thrown into rabbit crates. Jeri butchered two to three hundred rabbits a night to be loaded into barrels to be delivered off-island to the market. She then tanned the rabbit hides to be sold as well. She always had a sense of humor and relished a practical joke too. While butchering chickens in the yard one day, a carload of tourists drove in wanting to know how to butcher rabbits they had killed. They were camping on farm property without permission, so Jeri with a straight face told

islander needed. Jeri donated and clothed many island children who otherwise couldn’t afford clothes. To advertise the store, she had give-away sales, marched in the Fourth of July parade as a Hush Puppy and ran ads in the local paper. People came from the mainland, other islands and Canada to shop in the store as she carried everything!In 1980 Jeri and a few other island residents banded together to start Islander’s Bank. As one of the founders she stayed on as a bank director for a number of years until she retired. She was very proud of all she accomplished as a director. Bert Lawson was deceased in 1981. Jeri needed to complete Hillview Terrace, a subdivision development that they had started. Hillview Terrace I was complete but Hillview Terrace II had yet to be finished. As a result Jeri became a land developer and successfully finished what Bert had started. Hillview Terrace II is a lasting testament to her tenacity and business acumen. She was also instrumental in the development known as Lawson Ridge and would be particularly dismayed at the name change to Mt. Grant. Whatever Jeri decided to do, she did with fervor and with a generous spirit. She loved gardening so she propagated and grew plants and gave plants to everyone, particularly at Christmastime. She loved

them to proceed just as she was doing with the chickens. Boil some water, dip the rabbits in the water and pluck the fur. “Served them right,” she said. In 1957, Jeri and husband Bert built a sawmill on the side of their lake known as Lawson’s Pond. Island lumber is dense and the saw blades were always getting dull. It was a difficult problem as there were no saw filers on the island and sending the saws off-island meant too much downtime when no money was earned. Not to be deterred, Jeri stepped in and became the only woman saw filer on the West coast. It was a difficult and arduous job but she was always up to the challenge to learn new things. Beside the farming, saw filing and raising children Jeri also worked in the medical center and helped deliver a number of island children. Well, the truth is she cleaned the medical center and helped deliver the children too. That was the island. After raising her children Jeri went to work for Elle’s in her retail store at the corner of Guard and Spring Street. It wasn’t long before Elle wanted to retire so Jeri and husband Bert bought the business. Before too long the inventory became too large for the location so Bert bought property, built the store and opened Jeri’s Department store next to the drug store. Jeri’s store carried everything an

Beginning August 10, trucks with trailers will begin hauling aggregate from Lawson’s quarry, off of Lawson Road, to the south end of Cattle Point Road. The truck haul route includes West Valley Road, Boyce Road, San Juan Valley Road, Douglas Road, Little Road and Cattle Point Road. Portions of these roads are narrow with little to no shoulders and limited sight distance. The trucks will operate Monday through Friday until the end of August. It is recommended that vehicles and bicycles consider alternate routes to get to their destination. If this is not possible, then please use extra caution traveling on these roads.

doing ceramics and spent hours perfecting her artistic talent. She loved sewing and knitting and gave away most of her projects. A sea of purple and gold scarves knitted by Jeri can be seen at most Friday Harbor High School football games. The last few years of her life Jeri lived at The Village at the Harbour. She played bingo, sang songs and loved to chat to everyone. One cannot quantify the wonderful kindness, caring and love the Village showed her every day. Thank you to the staff and volunteers at the Village for making her last years memorable. So: farmer, saw filer, land developer, bank director, business owner and talented gardener, artist, and knitter, in addition to jokester. But above all she loved her family, Victor (Sandi) Lawson, Richard Lawson and Ruthie (Jim) Paull. She loved her grandchildren Robbie Lawson, Cathy (Gary) VanZanten, Tom Lawson (Leah), Richard Lawson Jr. (Trish), Chris (Sherry) Lawson, Adam (Anne) Paull, and Ashley Paull as well as numerous great grandchildren. Jeri was an icon to the San Juan Island community. She left her imprint indelibly stamped on this community from Islander’s Bank to Hillview Terrace, to Jeri’s Mall (now Sundries) and Lawson Ridge (Mt. Grant). This community would not be as it is today without her foresight, strength of character, philanthropy, and yes even a little joke once in a while. She is predeceased by her brother and sister, her husband and one son, Richard Lawson. In lieu of flowers and to honor Jeri’s love of island families and children, donations can be made to Family Resource Center PO Box 1981, Friday Harbor, Washington 98250.

15th Jazz at the Labs A night at the Friday Harbor labs celebrates curious minds through music, food and fundraising By Anna V. Smith

Journal reporter

he natural curiosity of children finds a nurturing teacher in science, the means through which humans explore the common, uncommon, minuscule and vast things around us. Scientists and laymen alike will get the opportunity to support this spirit of inquiry at a young age by attending the 15th annual Jazz at the Labs on Aug. 22, which is a fundraiser for the Friday Harbor Labs Science Outreach Program.

The program partners kindergarten to 12 grade kids with research scientists and teachers. It involves the local elementary school, high school and middle school as well as University of Washington and Spring Street International School to conduct science inquiries in the field. “Its been a really successful program; the kids enjoy it, the teachers enjoy it, and it’s really empowering for the University of Washington students to teach what they recently learned,” said Program Director, Coordinator and Educator Jenny Roberts. Roberts said that many times the experiments or research they do in the field translates to other projects in school like art, english and math, which ensures that what they learn isn’t limited to one portion of their education. In past years, other programs like a silent auction accompanied the music and dinner. This year is Fund-A-Need, which Roberts started as a way for people to donate directly to projects within the program so donors can get a better idea of what the kids are doing. One yearly favorite science project that the kids partake in through the program is testing the water quality in the Port of Friday Harbor. “What’s really great about it is the kids are just so engaged when they are given the opportunity to do the science themselves. They’re just really involved, you can see it in their faces,” Roberts said. “I think they get a lot out of it, my hope is that they fall in love with the environment through science so they’ll want to protect it in the long run.” According to Rachel Anderson, advancement coordinator at the labs, they aim to seat 125 people at the event and raise about $20,000 for the program this year which has been traditionally scheduled in June, but was changed to August this year. “I think the beautiful August weather will be a huge plus,” Anderson said. “The FHL Dining Hall deck has a gorgeous view and it has been rainy in early June.” Local jazz legend Jay Thomas will also perform this year, Anderson said. A press release sent out by the labs estimated that the outreach program involves more than 900 students, and will log more than 5,000 science and student contact hours this year alone. Jazz at the Labs features dinner at the Friday Harbor Laboratories dining hall at 6 p.m. accompanied by the San Juan Jazz Quintet featuring Friday Harbor Labs Director Dennis Willows on drums. Seattle’s Jazz Coalescence with Chris Amemiya of Benaroya Research begins at 7 p.m. The emcee for the event is KPLU’s Morning Jazz Show host Dick Stein.All proceeds will benefit the FHL K-12 Science Outreach Program in the SJI elementary, middle and high schools and the Spring Street International School. The event often sells out. For reservations call 360-378-2165 ext. 0. Tickets for dinner and music are $40, tickets for music only, without dinner, are $25.

eve of the Civil War were also being played out in the West. “The recounting of his escape aboard a steamer, capture, and eventual freedom in Canada are captivating, as are the italicized, dramatized scenes,” wrote Publishers Weekly. “(Its) admirable primary-source detective work results in a context-rich story that shines a light on racial attitudes and Civil War politics in pre-statehood

The collection of woodcut prints created by Luigi Rist in Vermont during World War II found its way to the Island Museum of Art this summer. Following Rist’s death in 1959, the artwork was packed up and stored in a fake leather suitcase in the hayloft of a neighbor’s barn. Nearly 50 years later, the neighbor passed away, the heirs discovered the suitcase and recovered DAN LEVIN ORIGINAL DESIGN ©

the woodcut prints. The neighbor was the mother of San Juan Island resident, Gregory Maynard, who has generously assembled the exhibition The Twist of Rist, 24 original prints, which is premiering at IMA and will continue to tour throughout the country. Teaching himself the art of the Japanese wood cut, Rist carved seven to 25 cherry wood blocks for each image. Japanese printing techniques are delicate, exacting, requiring the utmost patience and skill, all of which he possessed abundance. Such a complex

process limited his life production to 40 print editions. Rist’s work was frequently published in the Christian Science Monitor and was the winner of numerous prestigious awards. The Twist of Rist: Lasting Impressions of Luigi Rist will be on display until Aug. 21. IMA reopens on Aug. 29 with three exhibitions; “Early Dawn to Late Twilight,” paintings by Seattle artist, Michael Dailey, “Immersion Series”, figurative sculpture by Kathy Venter – Salt Spring Island, BC, and “Unlike Earth”, watercolors by San Juan Island artist, Joe Miller.

Howdy, Friday Harbor! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Dixie and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m what you might call a â&#x20AC;&#x153;southern belle.â&#x20AC;? I was rescued from

a high-kill animal shelter in Texas and brought here to find my forever home. In Texas they have a saying for girls like me. They say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prettier than a Pie Supper.â&#x20AC;? Matter of fact, yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;all should mozy on over to the animal shelter and sit a spell getting to know me. Why, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d feel positively lower than a gopher hole if I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a chance to meet you! If that ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a fact, Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a possum. Until then, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some advice from a Texas gal: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rile the wagon master and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t squat on your spurs.â&#x20AC;? See you soon!

What do Orca whales like to eat? I

n the previous article in the Whale Pages, we presented the fact that the whales we call Killer or Orca represent a complex of many distinct populations that may prove to qualify as species; and, here we present the fact that these distinct populations specialize or “like to eat” particular prey species. All of the populations of so-called Killer whales are predatory animals currently assigned to one species (Orcinus orca, Linnaeus, 1758), and they must eat to survive; but, the preferred prey species for each population varies according to what is locally abundant and available in the marine ecosystem within swimming range. The classic studies regarding what “Killer” whales like to eat came from examination of stomach contents of these whales that were stranded in various locations around the world, or taken by whalers. The food items were fish, squid, seals, porpoises, other whales, etc. that led to the early conclusion that Orcinus orca was euryphagous, that is they fed upon a wide variety of prey and could switch diet if a particular variety became scarce. More comprehensive recent studies, including those done by the Center for Whale Research, indicate that each branch of the Orca family tree tends to strongly lean toward a prey species that is locally available and sufficiently abundant year-round for a very long time (many whale lifetimes). This tendency is termed stenophagy – a narrow variety of prey species; and, over the evolutionary time scales available from thousands of whale lifetimes it has resulted in very distinct differences in the anatomy and morphology of the various whale populations. ransient Orcinus orca whales may indeed be properly called “killers” (at least by the seals, sea lions and porpoises they consume), and they have very robust jaw structure with relatively big teeth (the better to bite you with, my dear). Their lifestyle is rather nomadic, as they travel with the seasonal migrations and/or the seasonal birthing and weaning cycles of their prey species. These mammal predator whales typically venture into the waters around the San Juan Islands in autumn and winter months when harbor seals are weaned (and unsuspecting), and when sea lions overwinter in the Salish Sea. Typically the “transients” travel in relatively small groups of 3-15 relatives and associates, and they are usually stealthy (non-vocal, so the prey species cannot hear them). This year and last year we have witnessed an unprecedented influx of “transients” around the San Juan Islands, some coming from as far as California and Alaska. There are about 250 “transient” killer whales in the Center for Whale Research catalogue for this area.

esident Orcinus orca whales may be properly called “Orca”, a term that is more fitting with the image of a peaceful non-stress-inducing population of mellow fish-eating predators with less robust jaw architecture and smaller teeth than “transient” killer whales. The “resident” lifestyle is adapted to the migrations and seasonal abundance of salmon in the eastern North Pacific Ocean. The salmon most available year-round within the “resident” swimming range are Chinook, or Kings, which happen to be the largest and most nutritious species of salmon in the world (formerly weighing up to 125 pounds each!). Chinook lifestyle, in turn, is predatory upon smaller fishes that are in greatest abundance on the continental shelf of the Pacific Ocean near the edge of upwelling currents. Chinook salmon have been taken in Human fisheries by the millions each year for the past century, and most wild populations of these fish are now “Endangered” with many already extinct. The “resident” Orca whales typically venture into the waters around the San Juan Islands in pod and multi-pod associations (Superpods) from May to September when the mature Chinook salmon are bound primarily for the Fraser River for spawning, though a few migrate to other river systems in the Salish Sea. Thus, we have an Endangered whale species obligate feeding upon an Endangered salmon species – a revolting development unforeseen by dam builders, habitat usurpers, and fishermen. As of 2014, there are currently 78 southern resident orca. Down from nearly 100 twenty years ago, and down from more than 200 that we have catalogued. We have demonstrated that the “resident” Orca survival is significantly linked to Chinook abundance, and the government managers on both sides of the US/Canada border should take more notice of this inconvenient truth before it is too late. This year (2014) during the summer when whale-watching is historically best, we have witnessed an unprecedented dispersal of “residents” around the San Juan Islands, and a continuing downtrend in their population number concurrent with a near collapse of Fraser River Chinook. Top right • Resident Orca with a Salmon

The Center for Whale Research maintains a detailed photographic catalog of the Southern Resident Killer whales dating back to the early 1970’s. The Center also documents the whales’ social structure, regional travel patterns, and foraging strategies throughout coastal waters from British Columbia to California.
