Lopez Home Tour

Visit 7 distinctive homes while benefiting the Lopez Center for Community & the Arts

his is your once a year chance to see parts of Lopez you never knew existed, including the charming Kip Robinson Greenthal Iowa-styled farmhouse pictured here. It was constructed in the 1880’s by the James Cousins family on 160 farmed acres. The home has changed hands only twice since Anne and Dwight Robinson purchased it in 1960 following Dwight’s declaration, upon walking through the fields and woods, that “This is my cathedral.” It was carefully restored by them through the years to the way it looked in 1900 photographs. Discover this place as you tour SIX OTHER distinctive homes on the Friendly Isle. Tour the Lexi and Kirm Taylor, Asha Lela, Ed and Diana Sheridan, Beth Shirk and Anne Hietbrink, Meg and Dennis Ryan, Curtis and Laura Walker homes. The self-guided tour begins at 11 AM and ends at 4 PM. Go it alone or leave your vehicle at the Center and car pool with friends. Delicious Lopez Village Market lunches will be available for $5 at the Center and at the Center between 9:30 AM and noon and at the Walker home. Home Tour tickets are $30 and available at the Lopez Center for the Community and the Arts (LCCA),Saturday Farmers Markets, Paper, Scissors on the Rock, Lopez Bookshop, and throughwww.lopezcenter.com. Home Tour income is vital for keeping LCCA event prices low so all Lopezians can enjoy the many and varied yearlong happenings.

Is the Pacific Northwest at risk of a megaquake, magnitude 9.0 or greater or a devastating tsunami like Japan experienced in 2011? More than 15,000 died, 2,000 are still unaccounted for and thousands more were injured in that event. Last month author Kathryn Schulz penned a New Yorker article about “The Big One.” Based on recently discovered tree ring research in the Pacific Northwest, and a collection of oral histories, her material focused on the danger of the eerily quiet Cascadia subduction zone, running offshore from Mendocino, Calif., north to Vancouver Island. It last erupted 315 years ago, resulting in a new western U.S. coastline. Schulz went so far as to suggest that when the Cascadia zone does awaken, it will result in huge tsunami waves, and everyone along the Interstate 5 corridor will be “toast.” Paul Bodin and Bill Steele

are seismologists at the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network based at the University of Washington Seismology Lab. Utilizing more than 300 seismic monitors, PNSN keeps a careful eye on their territory, the states of Washington and Oregon, while sharing information with scientists around the globe. On July 31, Steele was interviewed on NBC Seattle’s “New Day Northwest” program stating a major earthquake and tsunami are coming to the Pacific Northwest.

His forecast window ranged from tomorrow to 50 years from now. Steele said within that time period, Washington state has a 15 percent chance of a magnitude 8 or 9. Southern Oregon’s risk he graded higher at 25 percent. On that same show, Steele suggested everyone prepare with storage food, medicine and water for at least two weeks, and at-risk communities should investigate building vertical evacuation towers. When interviewed by the Islands’ Sounder, Steele’s associate Bodin was less dramatic. He found the New York article to be “overblown” because “most of our populated areas are outside of the rupture zone.” “Cascadia is like a stuck window,” he said. “You wonder whether it’s painted shut. I keep a close eye on it. Any earthquake out there would really get our attention. We would be doing better if we had more offshore monitoring equipment.” Last December, Congress approved a $5 million increase in spending to upgrade the Shake Alert System, a prototype alert program using a series of 300 seismic monitors plus

The Scripps Institute of Oceanography in La Jolla, Calif. the software and hardware needed to process their data. When finished, it’s expected to cost about $30 million and require an additional $16 annually to maintain. “When this upgrade is complete, we should have information in seconds, not minutes,” Bodin said. The majority of seismic monitors he watches are on land, but a few are stationed off the coast of Oregon at the Hydrate Ridge, 60 miles away, and at the Axial Seamount Volcano, 300 miles west of Cannon Beach. Last fall, geologists Bill Chadwick and Scott Nooner announced a pending Axial eruption. When it spewed lava in April, their predictions were confirmed. A boatload of scientists will join them on a close-up visit to the Axial this month. While geologists are diving underwater looking for forecasting clues, geodesist Dr. Yehuda Bock is focusing on the skies. A tsunami risk assessment specialist SEE BIG ONE, PAGE 5

Optimism is vital as we age By Liz Taylor

Special to the Weekly

I met a delightful man some years ago whose optimism in the face of adversity was inspiring. He attended a workshop on memory loss that I facilitated, then volunteered for a quick memory test afterward. He almost flunked. It seems he was taking an experimental drug for glaucoma, which affected his short-term memory. “I can’t decide which is worse,” he joked, “to be blind or lose my mind.” Despite his bad luck, everything about this man inspired a smile – his own smile, as a starter, plus his spunk and optimism. He matter-of-factly told me about other health challenges, including recovering from alcohol addiction. He radiated a positive vibrancy and told me that life was good. “The only way to be,” he said, “is optimistic. Life’s too difficult otherwise.” I’ve often thought about the truth this man lived – that the secret of successful aging is attitude, rather than circumstances. It’s the age-old conundrum: is the glass half-empty or half-full? We focus on what we lack, but we can live more positively by celebrating what we have. My favorite fortune cookie puts it this way: “Things usually turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out.” A well-known study supports this. In his excellent book, “Aging With Grace: What the Nun Study Teaches Us about Leading Longer, Healthier, and More Meaningful Lives.” David Snowdon, Ph.D, wrote about his research into the early lives of 678 nuns for clues to predict who in later life would develop Alzheimer’s disease. About a fourth of the nuns had written autobiographies in their early 20s. When Snowdon examined these essays for key words such as “happy,” “joy,” “love,” “hopeful” and “content,” he discovered that the nuns who had expressed more positive emotions lived as much as 10 years longer than those who did not. Though the study sample is too small to be conclusive, it suggests that decades of negative thinking – like anxiety, hatred and anger -- have a cumulative effect that may actually make us susceptible to poor health. Because it feels better to be happy, the body seems to thrive when people enjoy life, despite their burdens. Sugar doesn’t run through my veins, and I’m no Pollyanna. I believe firmly in expressing anger, sadness or unhappiness when the situation warrants. However, I think we tend to grow unnecessarily pessimistic with age. The longer we live, the more lumps we absorb (some people more than others is the unfair truth). After 50 or 80 years, our worldview is often tainted by cynicism. There’s much truth in the adage, “Our personalities don’t change as we grow older; we just get ‘more so.’” Rewiring our brains to be more positive can be hard. Try this for a while: count your blessings at least once a day, especially if you feel cranky. Smile rather than frown when your face is idle. And of course, focus on the good rather than the bad. With frequent, consistent application, optimism may creep ever so slowly back into your brain, sending you new signals about life – and maybe a longer time to enjoy it.

Native art comes alive: Totem pole blessing ceremony By Anna V. Smith

Staff Photo / Anna V. Smith

Journal reporter

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 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, and to the San Juan Islands as a whole. 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

Members of the Kwakwaka’wakw Nation, Craig Tall and Kristina Gladstein listen as Chief Bill Cranmer speaks. 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.” Mike Vouri, San Juan Island National Historical Park Historian, gave a brief history of how Henry Island came to be named. Charles Wilkes of the United States Exploring Expedition (1838-1842), also known as the Wilkes Expedition, was in Fiji with his nephew Henry. Two longshoremen and Henry took a boat ashore to one of the smaller islands to begin an exploration. Then, from the main ship further out, Charles Wilkes could only watch as Fijians overtook the boat and murdered Henry and the longshoremen, leaving him distraught and feeling responsible for his the death of his nephew. When Charles Wilkes and his expedition arrived in the San Juan Islands, Wilkes renamed the Spanish island names with British ones, and named one after his dead nephew. James Alden, who served as midshipman on the Wilkes Expedition, came back to the islands for the U.S. Coast Survey and restored many of the Spanish names to the islands, but kept the name Henry Island in remembrance. During the blessing ceremony, Chief Bill Cranmer, Tall and Gladstein encircled the totem pole wearing traditional Kwakwaka’wakw robes and headdresses made of abalone shell and fur. As the ceremony commenced, they walked around the pole and dusted 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. “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 ceremony then moved to a meadow, where the group performed the Hamat’sa, narrated by Chief Cranmer, 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 a variety of elaborate robes, ornate headpieces and complex bird masks, carved and painted with flawless lines. The dancers snapped the moveable beaks and cocked their heads back and forth, ensconced in shredded cedar bark and sprinkled with eagle down to embody the energy of a bird. The transformation mask, a bland name compared to its stunning display, was also worn at first looking like another bird mask until the dancer pulled strings that opened the mask to reveal five panels with intricately carved faces. After Chief Cranmer spoke a final thank you to Tall, Gladstein and those in attendance, the guests wandered off across the grasses to return to their respective islands, marveling at the stunning display of art, performance and tradition.

Court of Appeals upholds SJC four critical areas ordinance Submitted by San Juan County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office

deputy prosecutor Amy Vira and the staff who vigorously defended the ordinances against challenges made by experienced and seasoned land use lawyers. Gaylord said that the huge number of issues and the record developed over six years made this the most difficult land use case the office has handled. Gaylord said, “my hope for the parties and the community is that they are satisfied by the fact that seven decision makers have now ruled that the county used a reasoned,

logical and legal approach to these regulations.” “Critical areas” are wetlands, areas that feed aquifers for potable water, fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, floodplains and geologically hazardous areas. The challenged ordinances imposed limits on development near critical areas and require buffers based upon a comprehensive study of the effect of development near critical areas. This is the third decision upholding the regulations. The first decision was made by three members of the Growth Management Hearings Board. Gaylord said two organizations with opposing views on the adopted ordinances presented their case to the San Juan County Council and then to the growth board and then to the courts. The Friends of the San Juans raised 52 issues for review and Common Sense Alliance raised 27 issues for review. Orcas Island resident John Evans and San Juan Island resident William Wright also raised issues to the growth board. The board only found SEE APPEALS, PAGE 6

A tsunami sign in Encinitas, Calif.

and lecturer working for the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in La Jolla, Calif., Bock and his graduate student Diego Melgar took data from the Japan quake combined with G.P.S. information to back-engineer the event. Diego was awarded the Annual Frieman prize honoring excellence in research for his paper. “Diego replayed it (the Japan quake) as a real-time scenario and was able to use that information to measure the uplift of the seafloor, then to determine how far inland it would hit,” Bock said. “He was quite accurate. I think maybe in 10 years we will have an extensive G.P.S. system. You need to figure out location and magnitude as fast as you can, because the clock is ticking.” Accessing and correctly processing data fast is key for accurately forecasting a tsnuami’s reach and destruction potential. The Tokohushu Japan quake was initially estimated to be a 7.2, but ended up as a

9.0, about 30 times more intense. The arriving waves were far higher than many vertical evacuation towers could handle. A more controversial forecasting method potentially providing days or even weeks advance notice for earthquakes and tsunamis focuses on biological anomalies as precursors. Water buffalo, rats, cattle, pigs and crayfish are being watched for signs of “nervousness” in so-called “psychic animal” research abroad. As for how the tsunami will affect the islands, the county’s Department of Emergency Management’s online map tool allows islanders to view the tsunami risk following a Cascadia quake. You can see the maps at sjcgis.org/tsunami-inunda-

tion/. According to Cowan, director of the DEM, this is the first time that the department has had a data-driven picture of how the tsunami will affect San Juan County. This data has been collected over the span of 10 years. Prior to that, predictions of the tsunami effects were based on speculation or interpretation from work done on either a larger scale or for locations other than the San Juans. Since the tsunami hit Japan in March 2011, Cowan said there has been a lot of confusion in the community about tsunami risks. “The very idea of them can understandably bring up strong emotions, likely due to the extremely vivid images we’ve seen from Japan and the Indian Ocean,” he said. Some of the most common misunderstandings Cowan hears from the public is that what happened in Japan would be replicated here, and that if you know it’s coming you should get in a boat and ride it out.

Apparently jumping in your boat has worked in outer coast areas where deep open water is close at hand, but will not work here because of the complexity of island waters, which create an unpredictable environment and current speeds approaching 15 knots or more.

Obituary:

Greg Abbott

A memorial service for Greg Abbott is at Center Church, 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 23. Greg Abbott, born May 5, 1948, was a beloved friend to many on Lopez Island. He passed away on Friday July 31st at Callahan House in Shoreline, Wash. Greg had a gentle nature, a beautiful singing voice and a gift for carpentry and cabinetmaking--all of these he shared with the island community, and in Seattle and Oregon as well. Greg was diagnosed with dementia in 2008 and was lovingly cared for by his wife, Madeline, in their McMinnville, Ore., home Employment General
