By Scott RasmussenJournal editor

An uptick in harbor por-poise strandings has local biologists scratching their heads, looking for clues and wary that mid-May’s unusu-ally high death toll may sig-nal something other than the natural die-off of a popu-lation on the rise.

“We’ve also heard there’s been an increase in the number of strandings in the (British Columbia) area,” said The Whale Museum’s Jennifer Olsen, coordinator of the San Juan County Marine Mammal Stranding Network. “But we’re not sure of what the total is or exactly where they were found. We didn’t have a single stranding a year ago in May.”

A total of eight harbor

porpoise carcasses were recovered from beaches on the westside of San Juan Island between May 19 and May 29. All are similar in length, 4-6 feet, suggest-ing they were adults, and a series of necropsies are slated to be conducted on three bodies that were not picked apart by scav-engers, beginning June 5, Olsen said. The term “stranding” applies to dead animals and to live ones that for some reason are stranded on a beach or rocks and cannot get back into the water.

Although it stands as the second-highest stranding total in the month of May, since 2006, eight is not nec-essarily cause for alarm, not by itself (12 strandings were recorded in May 2012, the highest total for the month

in the last eight years).In fact, according to Dr.

Joe Gaydos of the Orcas Island-based SeaDoc Society, spring is the time of year when harbor porpoise typi-cally migrate en masse from the mouth of Juan de Fuca Strait into the heart of the Salish Sea and strandings are not uncommon at that time. Still, Gaydos, who will per-form the early June necrop-sies, said the spate of strand-ings warrant examination to find out if an infectious dis-ease or virus, such as pneu-monia, may be responsible or contributed to the deaths.

“Right now we really don’t know what’s going on,” he said.

The smallest of marine mammals, the harbor por-poise generally stays close to coastal waters or river estuaries, tend to be solitary foragers and feed primar-ily on small schooling fish,

such as herring, pollock, hake, as well as squid and other cephalopods. Adults typically measure 4-6 feet in length, average between 135-170 pounds (females tend to be heavier) and have an average lifespan of about 24 years.

The harbor porpoise shares the name but is an entirely different species than the somewhat larger and vastly heavier harbor seal, a far more abundant animal worldwide, and com-

mon as well in the Salish Sea.

However, the population of harbor porpoise appears to be on the rise in greater Puget Sound and the Salish Sea.

In fact, according to Gaydos, the cause of an exceptionally large number of harbor porpoise strand-ings and deaths in 2006 turned out to be largely the result of an increase in the overall population. Whether due to age, competition or

limited food supply, death is ever-present in the natu-ral world and casualties can tend to spike in step with an increase in population, he said.

“It wasn’t that they were dying from a disease” he said. “The harbor porpoise population was just increas-ing.”

To report a stranding, call the Marine Mammal Stranding Network Hotline, 1-800-562-8832.

Death toll mounts for harbor porpoises

By Cali BagbyWeekly editor

After numerous com-plaints about Wave2Go ticket theft, Washington State Ferries has changed its policies.

Beginning June 15, ticket holders will no longer be able to use the 18-digit tick-et number, but must have their ticket or photocopied ticket in-hand.

“It’s a relatively easy fix for us,” said Marta Coursey, WSF director of communi-cations.

According to Coursey, WSF received about half a dozen complaints from Orcas Islanders who claimed that their Wave2Go

passes were stolen. Only about 1 percent of state-wide ferry users purchase multi-use Wave2Go passes, but 5 to 10 percent of San Juan Island ferry travelers use the passes.

Orcas Islander Peter Bohr purchased a five-ride ferry pass this spring and after using it only once, he was surprised when a ferry worker at the Anacortes ter-minal said he had zero uses left.

Now Bohr is convinced that “thieves have breached the Washington State Ferries’ computer ticket system and are stealing unused rides.”

Bohr said that his pass

and purchase receipt had never been out of his pos-session, therefore no one could have copied his infor-mation and that someone must be infiltrating the ticket system. According to WSF, there is no evidence that someone is going into the ferry system and steal-ing tickets.

“We can say with cer-tainty that WSF’s credit card and IT systems have not been breached,” said Coursey.

She would not speak to WSF security measures because she said it could “help someone abuse the system.”

Coursey did say that WSF

does not have the ability to verify a specific person abusing the system, which is why it changed its policy to help ensure passes would not be stolen.

“There could be a 100 ways to get the ticket num-ber,” Coursey added.

The San Juan County Sheriff’s Office has inter-viewed persons of interest but no charges have been filed. Undersheriff Bruce Distler is confident that WSF’s policy change will be beneficial.

“The fact that they have to present a hard copy should prevent theft if they secure their card,” said Distler.

There has been an increase in local harbor porpoise strandings. Scientists are looking for clues as to why.

! WARNINGExcessive exposure to The Islands' Weekly

has been linked to increased community engagement

and overall personal awesomeness.

CAO? Does more harm than good

I wonder if the critical areas ordinance (CAO) group has attempted to mea-

sure the economic impact they are going to have?

Visually improving the shoreline by increasing set-backs is going to look nice to boaters, but it’s going to seriously impact the

trades that otherwise would have been hired to make improvements without all the red tape.

If you want a one-foot big-ger kitchen going toward the water–you have to move the whole house!

And what about “reason-able exemptions?” How does a prospective buyer know if one will be granted?

This increases the risk to any prospective buyer, and you probably need a lawyer. Heck, you need a lawyer just to read the CAO document.

And what about the loss of tax revenue from the property improvements that won’t happen? (If more people pay more property

taxes we can enjoy better schools and services).

And how about the loss of construction material purchases from local sup-pliers and the lost sales tax revenue?

It’s just plain naive to think there won’t be lost business and lost real estate sales because of shoreline restrictions in the CAO.

David Dehlendorf in his recent diatribe slamming the CSA, (“Holes in cam-paign of misinformation,” May 21, pg. 7 of the San Juan Journal) states that he has never heard of a prop-erty owner, or prospective owner, who was affected.

Well, “Here I Am.”

I have a property in mind that I would purchase in a heartbeat if I knew I could make certain improvements without being subject to a complicated set of rules hav-ing an unknown outcome.

The property I have in mind would require an exemption and that stops me right there. I’m just guessing here, but I bet that none of the CAO members has waterfront property.

I care about the envi-ronment, and I also care about people. I don’t like it when we become a political, rule-driven society ignoring common sense.

I am not a member of the Common Sense Alliance (CSA) and I don’t believe the CAO is going to make life or the environment any better as a whole.

What might help is a comprehensive approach to restricting and/or elimi-nating the chemicals we add to the watershed. I can’t believe we are talk-ing about setbacks while we allow Roundup and other really pervasive substances to be scattered, poured and dumped all over.

Senior Lunch at Woodmen Hall is abuzz: several infrequent attend-ees are present, with cam-era-toting relatives. Tables are packed. Regulars won-der: will there be enough food for everyone? Several people pin on corsages, red flowers for ladies, yellow for gentlemen. Something special is afoot: today is 90-Something Group Interview Day.

Credit Molly Fromm for this idea. Disliking the stereotype of cranky old folks, Molly wanted Lopez to know how vibrant their lives really are. Then give Karin Gandini props for inviting folks, and ordering the corsages, donated by Cindy Guenther. “Be care-ful,” Oscar Smaalders warns his wife Alie as she pins his over his heart, “There’s a Pacemaker under there.”

15 nonagenarians squeeze together for a photo. A few then make their escape, but ten remain for the interview. Later, three Hamlet House residents add their perspec-tive: Dudley “Six” Lapham, Ione Schafer, and Kathaleen Larsen. Only three ques-tions are asked, but for an “interviewee” whose com-

bined age totals over 1,200 years, that’s enough.

How does the reality of being in your nineties com-pare with the stereotype, or with your own expecta-tions?

Jeanne Storer: “I can remember when my grand-parents were in their 80s…no one ever reached 90. Now I’m going to be 91. I am blessed.”

Oscar Smaalders: “I still don’t believe it.” Everyone laughs. “It doesn’t seem real.”

Ione Schafer: “To tell you the truth, I don’t think I even thought about it.” She adds that her own mother lived well into her 90s, so it didn’t seem like a big deal, but Six Lapham interjects, with a smile: “It sure ain’t Sweet Sixteen.”

Kathaleen Larsen says she was looking forward to her 90s as a goal, and Lynn Vance agrees: “Being 90 makes me feel like I have the chance to be 100.”

Eddie Newcomb: “Being 90 doesn’t feel all that dif-ferent from being 70. I’ve slowed down a lot, physical-ly, but, thank goodness…” she lists activities she can still do, keeping her mind active–“it’s not much differ-ent.”

Dan Silkiss also focus-es on activities. “When you’re young, elders are old. And time goes by so fast, you don’t have time to do everything, so you

think, ‘I’ll do it later.’ Then as you get older, time just goes faster and faster, so…a lot of us who are retired, we find we’re doing more than ever. All you need to do to reach really old age is to be patient.” Much laughter and head-nodding follows.

How do you think living on Lopez affects the expe-rience of being 90-some-thing?

Florence Meng: “You might never have reached 90 if you were not on Lopez.” (Loud agreement.) “The stress anywhere else would kill you. It changed Dan completely, moving here. He had so much stress at Boeing…now he just loves and enjoys everybody on the island.” (Note: Dan Meng passed away two weeks after this interview, at the age of 98.)

Ione: “All my family’s here, and that makes all the difference to me.”

Six’s daughter, Rosie Sumner, brings up some of the groups her dad is part of, such as yoga, and Six agrees, Lopez offers way more of a community than he was ever part of in mainland retirement facili-ties.

Kathaleen, nodding, men-tions church involvement as another strong community piece.

Jeanne: “The people make the difference–com-ing to Senior Lunch, you get

to be around people you can really talk to.”

Dan notes that catching the ferry, when off-island, “is the only stress factor. But as you get closer, ‘oh, I’m almost home,’ you can feel a weight coming off your shoulders.” Again, heads nod.

Some, like Oscar and Alie, really can’t gauge the Lopez effect because they haven’t lived anywhere else for decades. But Dan can. “It’s the quality of life. You don’t have to lock your doors, you see everyone you know, you wave…that’s all part of the tranquility that we have.”

What, if anything, do you know now that you wish you had known when you were younger?

Tommy Thomas: “I wish I had known I was going to live this long; I would’ve saved a little bit more money!” The group cracks up.

Lynn jokes, “I always said, you either have to go back to work or die.” More laughter. Dan offers to hire Lynn for odd jobs.

Eddie mentions physi-cal infirmities. “My favorite thing to do is garden, and here I am with knees that crack and everything, and it’s not easy any more. I had no idea it would impact me as much as it has.” She describes having to give up her many rhododendrons. More nods.

Alie: “I’m glad that I didn’t

know what I would be like physically, because…that would not have been a nice thing to look forward to. Better just to make the best of it.”

Oscar says had he known earlier of its effects, he would have asked for a dif-ferent kind of Pacemaker. Jeannie says that she wish-es she could walk without a walker, but “I am very fortunate to be able to live alone.”

Hal mentions that he did not know how difficult it would be to go off-island for appointments and for shopping, but “had I known,

I wouldn’t have done any-thing differently.” The trade-off is worthwhile.

Mary Skidmore says, “I never thought I would make it anywhere near 90 because of so many health issues, multiple surgeries. This is the surprise of my life. But,” turning to Frank Skidmore, “I’m glad that I have my husband with me.” Alie agrees emphati-cally.

Florence informs the group that Lopez has four couples preparing to cele-brate their 70th anniversary, including herself and Dan; the Skidmores; and Mary and Howard Harris.

At the end of the inter-view, Eddie sums up: “I feel at peace here, I really do. It’s the people. It’s the life pace. It just feels like home.”

And Jeanne adds: “It is home.”

The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission announced that Ted Schlund has been appointed as man-ager of the newly formed San Juan State Parks Area.

Prior to this new appointment, Schlund, pictured above, was the manager of the San Juan Marine Area.

The new San Juan State Parks Area con-solidates the following parks and marine areas into one management area:

• Spencer Spit State Park• Moran and Obstruction Pass State

Parks• San Juan Marine North• San Juan Marine SouthConsolidating these areas into one will

improve efficiencies as the agency adopts a business-model approach to sustainably managing Washington’s state parks.

Schlund has worked for state parks since 2001 and has lived in San Juan county since

2000. He makes his home between Orcas and San Juan.

Schlund’s appointment went into effect May 16. His office is at Moran State Park on Orcas Island.

The Reverend Elizabeth Purdum began serving as the Pastor of The Lutheran Church in the San Juans on May 15.

Purdum, a native of Seattle, is returning to famil-iar territory after acquiring more than 25 years of expe-rience in the pastoral minis-try in Evangelical Lutheran Church congregations in Colorado and New Mexico.

Since 2003 she has served as Senior Pastor at St. Luke Lutheran Church in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Purdum recalls childhood vacations in the San Juan Islands and flying over the islands while earning her pilot’s license during her college years in Bellingham. She is looking forward to becoming part of the island community.

An energetic individual with diverse interests, Purdum referees and plays soccer and enjoys kayaking, bicycling, sailing, and travel.

Study of the Journeys of Paul took her to Turkey, and a brief study of Choral Evensong found her in English cathedrals. Having earned her mas-ters of divinity in Lutheran Studies at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in Berkeley, Calif., she also holds a bachelor’s of arts from Western Washington University with a major in biological anthropology and minors in chemistry and education.

Purdum will step into the pastoral role at the Lutheran Church in the San Juans recently vacated by Pastor

Anne Hall. Hall served as interim pastor for a little over two years and has retired, remaining in the islands.

The Lutheran Church has become a “flying ministry.” Each Sunday, the pastor takes to the air by plane in order to conduct Sunday Services on Lopez, San Juan and Orcas.

Although the dust has yet to settle over a now-infamous waterfront clearcut at the for-mer Mar Vista Resort, the property’s new owners are in pursuit of a dock.

Not just any dock, but a 271-foot-long dock that can accommodate up to six boats, 20-30 feet in length, and a stone’s throw from San Juan Island’s False Bay.

Owners Dave and Nancy Honeywell intend to devel-op a “family compound” with six homes on the 30-acre parcel according to Francine Shaw of the Friday Harbor-based Law Office of Stephanie O’Day.

Shaw said local regula-tions allow each of the six waterfront homes access to a dock, but the property may have to be sub-divided into separate parcels for the dock, and for the remodel and construction projects, to proceed.

In response to the dock application, San Juan County’s Community Development and Planning Department determined that the dock poses no significant adverse impact on the environment, thus issuing a Determination of Non-Significance follow-ing its review of the State Environmental Policy Act. Deadline for comment on

the dock proposal is June 25. The proposal is slated to go before the county hear-ing examiner on Aug. 11.

The dock would be located in a “pocket beach,” rough-ly 50-100 feet beyond the University of Washington’s biological preserve at False Bay, Shaw said.

A proposal to build a “joint-use, community dock” is the latest eyebrow-raiser surrounding the new own-ers of the former resort, one of the larger contigu-ous waterfront properties on the westside of San Juan. Shaw said that the dock’s design consists of materi-als that would allow about 70 percent of sunlight to pass through the structure to the seafloor. It would be removed during winter months to protect it then reinstalled in late May and remain in place until late October. The application

for the dock was submit-ted to the planning depart-ment March 28, several days before the update of the critical areas ordinance went into effect.

The Honeywells, former-ly of Virginia and winners of a nine-figure Powerball jackpot in February 2013, purchased the property a little over a year ago for $6 million.

In early February, San Juan County issued a “notice of violation” after nearly two acres of waterfront at the property were denuded of trees, shrubs and vegeta-tion in late December with-out proper permits. The county subsequently fined David Honeywell $1,000 and

fined Allen Engle of Solid Ground, whose contracting business oversaw removal of the vegetation, $2,000 for the violation; the fines have reportedly been paid.

The county, along with the Department of Ecology, also required that a restora-tion plan be prepared for the denuded area of shoreline and submitted for approv-al of both agencies. That plan is still in the works, according to Bob Fritzen of Ecology, which sent a warning of its own after the waterfront clearcut for vio-lating the Water Pollution Control Act. The restoration plan’s date has been pushed back until August by the county, Fritzen said.

Thrive San Juan Islands welcomes best-selling South Whidbey author, Vicki Robin to San Juan, Lopez and Orcas Islands in mid-June. Vicki will speak about her new book, “Blessing the Hands that Feed Us; what eating closer to home can teach us about food, community and our place on earth.” She will share how her experiment in “10-mile” eating distance not only changed how she ate, but also renewed her hope and rooted her in her community.

Lopez residents serving our Lopez neighbors – you can count on us.

School is nearly out, and among the students eager for sun and summer activities are twenty primary grade stu-dents kindergarden through third grade who got a boost in classroom experience by participating in the imagina-tive Lopez School PIP playroom. PIP, the acronym for the long-standing successful Primary Intervention Program of the University of Rochester, New York, is designed to help primary grade children make the most of their school experience.

PIP helps to enrich the school experience by providing additional individual attention. Under the observation of HIPAA-certified adult volunteers called Child Associates, children use the playroom for self-directed play, gaining confidence in decision making and working out solutions to playroom-sized problems with competence while affirming their success with the Child Associate.

“The child’s success in solving problems through their own initiative translates to the classroom as a positive expe-rience,” explained Carol Weiss, who is a licensed family therapist coordinating the program with Lopez school coun-selor Jeanna Carter. A consultant to PIP programs in the islands for the past 20 years, Carol further acknowledged, “Grades kindergarden – third grade provide the foundation for a child’s academic and social learning. PIP students feel recognized and valued just as they are, which increases self-esteem. The non-directive play at the heart of PIP is the child’s language, and their best form of communication.”

Parents and teachers of PIP students are impressed with the strides made by children in school and at home. Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Becca sees great improvement in social integration and communication skills among the

children who have attended the PIP play sessions. “My students are exposed to many more children than they are accustomed to both inside the classroom and outside on the playground. Five year olds do not often possess the language or problem solving skills to take care of their needs in such settings. Learning how to solve problems, advocate for themselves or safely express the stress they are experiencing is empowering. They enjoy the individual attention and look forward to going to the playroom with their Child Associate.”

Jeanna Carter is also happy with the return of PIP to Lopez School. “I am really satisfied and optimistic about the quality of the Child Associates who volunteer for this program, and the great and varied skill sets they brought to our work together,” she said. “We will continue to fine tune and adjust the program to assure it always results in a suc-cessful transition to school.” Carol Weiss confirmed her sat-isfaction with the first year’s activities and results: “My trust was really fulfilled in the wisdom of children to make use of the playroom in ways that met their individual needs.”

The surest sign of success is the PIP students them-selves. Initially greeting the playroom with observations ranging from “Can I play with this?” to “Awesome!”, they plunged into creating sand worlds, self-expressive art works and imaginative play with serious intent, invariably skipping back to their classrooms eager to apply their con-fidence to the next learning challenge.

Additional kindergarden – third grade age children with parental permissions are welcomed to the program for the fall. For info, contact Jeanna Carter at [email protected], or Carol Weiss at 468-3571 to learn more.

Lopez-based conserva-tion laboratory Kwiaht is one of 43 nonprofit orga-nizations nationwide to receive funds this year from President Obama’s 21st Century Conservation Service Corps Initiative. The projects are funded through the America’s Great Outdoors: Developing the Next Generation of Conservationists, a com-petitive grant matching pro-gram launched in December 2011 in conjunction with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.

The 21st Century Conservation Service Corps is a national collaborative effort to put American youth and returning veterans to work protecting, restoring,

and enhancing America’s great outdoors. Funding goes to paid conservation work experience on public lands that builds technical skills and can result in per-manent employment.

Announcing the grants at a May 22 ceremony in Denver, Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell stressed the value of public-private partnerships that “leverage our federal invest-ments with private support to help young adults learn new skills and gain great job experience while giving back to the community.”

Kwiaht’s grant will be used to train six Tribal col-lege students and veterans in the use of GPS and GIS technologies to map ecosys-

tems and model ecological changes, with a focus on the new San Juan Islands National Monument.

“We want to bring Tribal youth back to the islands to work alongside island youth on protecting landscapes of ecological and cultural significance,” says Kwiaht director Russel Barsh.

“These landscapes are a shared legacy, and must become a shared responsi-bility for the next genera-tion.”

Participants in Kwiaht’s 21CSC program will devote ten weeks to fieldwork this summer, introducing them to the islands’ hydrology, botany, nearshore fish, rep-tiles, bats and birds, as well as habitat classification

and integrating field data with satellite imagery and remote sensing data.

“Many young veterans in the Northwest have already learned to use GPS tech-nology,” Barsh says, “but not to map the migrations of newts, or monitor the changing distribution of bumblebees.”

“A healthy environment in the Pacific Northwest means a high quality of life and a strong economy,” Congressman Rick Larsen said. “The work staff and volunteers will do on the San Juan Islands National Monument this summer will support both of these goals. Conservation corps members will get impor-tant experience in the field while contributing to a better understanding of what makes for healthy wildlife and habitat on the Monument.”

“Kwiaht is one of our valued environmental edu-cation programs partners” noted Monument Manager Marcia deChadenedes.

To request an application send an e-mail to [email protected]. You can learn more about Kwiaht’s work at www.kwiaht.org.

Kwiaht wins major grantBeginning Saturday, June

7, Peace Island Medical Center will replace its scheduled-visit, primary care Saturday clinic with a new “urgent care” method of service.

Urgent care will be avail-able 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., in which medical staff will be able to treat many common illnesses and ailments, such as colds, the flu, ear aches, sore throats, fever, rashes, as well as minor injuries, such as sprains, back pain, minor cuts and burns, or minor eye injuries.

Fees will be similar to those of a routine primary care office visit.

Initial evaluations will be performed by the medi-cal center’s Emergency Department staff to deter-mine if a patient meets the criteria of urgent care. Those in need of more “emergent” care will be admitted and treated as

emergency room patients.With regard to urgent

care service, PIMC cautions that:

• Refills of narcotic pre-scriptions will not be grant-ed for those patients sub-ject to a pain contract. Such refills must go through a pharmacy or primary care provider.

• Service will operate on a first-come, first-served basis; however, those in need of urgent care may be asked to wait if the emer-gency department staff are attending to a patient in need of more advanced, critical care.

On Saturday’s, the main entrance of the medical center is closed and those seeking medical attention should enter through the Emergency Department entrance.

For more information contact PIMC at 360-378-1705.

PIMC opens for ‘urgent care’

LETTERSCONTINUED FROM 2

Mar Vista marina? Outraged by it all

Following is a copy of a plea to the permit depart-ment to reject the horren-dous application for the new Mar Vista owners to be able to build a marina on the west side of San Juan Island.

Please help to make the residents of the island aware of this and ask all to contact the local permit department. Thank you.

To Whom It May Concern:We have been visiting San

Juan Island regularly since 2000, own a houseboat at Warbass Way Marina near the town of Friday Harbor and have been frequent guests at Mar Vista Resort… a definite “jewel” on the island.

At first we were very sad about the sale of the prop-erty, and then hopeful when the new owners were artists.

Our first shock came when they clearcut a vital portion of their property that had an impact on the local flora and fauna. Worse still is the idea that they want to establish a marina at the same location.

That is outrageous. It would have a severe impact on the natural shoreline and it is a totally inappropriate development at that location.

Please, please do not allow the owners to have such a devastating effect on the west side of San Juan Island.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington 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.To make a firewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
