Are harbor porpoises struggling to survive? by SCOTT RASMUSSEN Journal editor
An uptick in harbor porpoise strandings has local biologists scratching their heads, looking for clues and wary that mid-May’s unusually high death toll may signal something other than the natural die-off of a population on the rise. Although, that fact just might be the case. “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 bodies 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, suggesting they were adults, and a series of necropsies are slated to be conducted on three bodies that were not picked apart by scavengers, 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 necessarily 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 porpoises typically 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 perform the early June necropsies, said the spate of strandings warrant examination to find out if an infectious disease or virus, such as pneumonia, 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 porpoise generally stays close to coastal waters or river estuaries, tend to be solitary foragers and feed primarily on small schooling fish, such as herring, pollock, hake, as well as squid and other cephalopods. Adults typically measure 4-6 feet

There has been an increase in local harbor porpoise strandings. Scientists are looking for clues as to why. in length, average between 135170 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 pinniped, a far more abundant animal worldwide, and common as well in the Salish Sea. However, the population of harbor porpoises appears to be on the rise in greater Puget Sound and
School board welcomes Greg White by CALI BAGBY Assistant editor
Greg White is a knitter, a father, a coach, a surveyor and now a school board member. He did not set out to be on the Orcas Island School Board, but when the vacancy was announced he suddenly thought he might be a good candidate. Having three children who attend the public school has helped him understand elements of education. Greg, shown right, describes his kids as representing a wide spectrum of the student body. One is a high achiever, another has autism and the oldest is heavily involved in sports. “They are involved in a lot of parts of the of the school,” said Greg. “Having that understanding of the school can be helpful.” Board member Janet Brownell said she couldn’t speak for the entire board, but she did say that there were two qualified candidates who applied.
“It was a tough choice,” she said. “But Greg has had extensive involvement in the schools, and his background professionally will be immensely useful in the next few years of school construction. I look forward to working with him. He will be a huge asset to the school board and the district.”
For the last 10 years he has volunteered in a variety of roles. For several years he coached little league, served as commissioner of little league and started a lunch time knitting club that ran for three years. More than 20 kids would show up for the club and even some boys showed up – much to Greg’s happy surprise. “It’s still pretty uncommon,”said Greg about male knitters. His love of knitting came to light after raising Shetland sheep. “The sheep led to spinning wool,” said Greg. “And then I just started to knit.” He also enjoys working in his wood shop and hopes to someday build spinning wheels. Greg and his wife Tess have lived on Orcas for 18 years. Like so many residents, they came here for a weekend getaway and decided they had to make the island their home. Just six weeks after their trip, Greg secured a survey-

Lori Wilson has started a new acupuncture clinic on Orcas Island. Wilson, LAC, Dip. AC has opened Soaring Crane Healing in the Village Plaza Building #103 (behind Enzos). Wilson graduated from the Northwest Institute of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in 2000 with a master’s degree in acupuncture. Wilson moved to Orcas when she was 24 and fresh out of a veterinary technician program. She started working for Dr. Brad Day soon after he
opened his practice and worked with him until he moved from the island. Meanwhile, she fell in love with sea kayaking and started Shearwater with Tom Carter. She enjoyed all the years of kayak trips but realized she couldn’t be a guide for the rest of her life and began looking for another career. After having successful acupuncture treatments, she decided to attend the Northwest Institute of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Japan. At age 39, when she was halfway through her studies at NIAOM, she was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer. Against all advice, Wilson decided to only use alternative medicine, except for surgery. She also began having acupuncture at least once a week. Soon after graduating, Wilson’s mother passed away from breast cancer. Knowing that she needed a break, she sold her property on Orcas and moved to Mexico to rest and heal. She lived there for 11 years and enjoyed being a volunteer acupuncturist at a battered women’s shelter run by nuns,
Girls Lead the Way project Author The Lopez-based conservation laboratory Kwiáht is seeking 12 students in the Lopez and Orcas fourth through seventh grades for a new summer learning and action program in eco-engineering funded by the American Association of University Women. Priority will be given to girls interested in math, science, and engineering, with the aim of sustaining their interests into high school and increasing the number of island women pursuing careers in these fields. Activities begin in July. Participants on each
island will spend 12 days with Kwiáht professionals learning about hydrology, contaminant chemistry, the remedial functioning of plants, bacteria and fungi, and the basics of bioswale design and construction. Teams will prepare proposals for bio-remedial gardens, bioswales, or containerized eco-machines for two participating businesses and nonprofits on each island, and refine and help build one of their proposed designs. In 2015, graduates of this summer’s program will help mentor a second cohort

and she also rescued and rehabilitated street dogs. Wilson also had a private acupuncture practice in a wellness center. After 10 years, the cancer metastasized to Wilson’s bones. This time she decided to integrate both allopathic and complimentary treatments (although still opted out of chemotherapy or radiation) and is now healthy. After spending six months on Orcas last year, she knew it was time to return home. “Although it began in China, acupuncture has spread throughout Asia and evolved to meet the needs of the people where it went,” Wilson said. “I have an affinity for the subtle, gentle Japanese techniques. Using the smallest needles available with very shallow insertion, most people don’t even feel the needles.” Using tuning forks on acupuncture points, she also practices the Acutonics system of sound healing. Wilson can be reached at 376-5900 or 1healingcrane@gmail.com.

of students, who will test, assess, and improve the first team’s bioremediation facilities. Students will also visit each other’s islands to make a comparative study of runoff and drainage in Urban Growth Areas. Girls Lead The Way grew from Orcas and Lopez high school projects in 2013 and 2014 that evaluated existing “rain gardens,” designed and built eco-machines, and tested native plants for copper accumulation working with Kwiáht. Instructors include Nathan Hodges (design), Bethy Johnstonbaugh (mathematics, modeling), Madrona Murphy (botany, microbiology), and Russel Barsh (environmental chemistry). The Exchange, Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District, and several businesses in Eastsound and Lopez Village are community partners. Nancy Knapp on Orcas Island, and Lorri Swanson on Lopez are participating as teacher advisers and mentors. To learn more, send an email to kwiaht@gmail. com or write to Kwiaht, P.O.

Car explosion causes Furniture built to last midnight house fire by COLLEEN S. ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher
At about midnight on Sunday, June 8, Orcas Firefighters responded to the View Haven neighborhood to the report of an explosion and fire in a home. Arriving responders found a 1,700 square foot, wood frame home heavily involved in fire and immediately began fire suppression efforts. The lone occupant of the home told responders that he was alerted to a loud “bang” and saw there was fire extending into his home, originating from a vehicle parked in an adjacent carport. The man exited his home uninjured. Twenty-five OIFR responders and 10 apparatus battled the fire through the night. Initial indicators lead investigators to believe the fire is accidental in nature, however, OIFR and the San Juan County Fire Marshal are investigating the specific cause of the fire. While engaged in firefighting operations, OIFR responded to an unrelated medical emergency in the View Haven neighborhood. The patient was transported in stable condition to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bellingham.
County employee dies from motorcycle accident San Juan County Public Works employee Mike Copas died Friday, June 6 following a motorcycle accident in Skagit County. He joined San Juan County in 1995, starting out on the roads crew, then worked as an engineering technician responsible for utilities inspections. He was promoted to ER&R Fleet Manager in 1999. Prior to his San Juan County experience, Copas worked at Boeing as a facilities project manager. “Those of us who worked with Mike appreciated his intelligence, his sense of humor, and his practical and down-to-earth nature,” said County Manager Mike Thomas in a press release. “It was a pleasure to work with him, and he will be sorely missed by his fellow employees and those in the community that he served.”
Subarea Plan is revealed by CALI BAGBY Assistant editor
After countless hours of work including much community feedback, the Eastsound Subarea Plan Update is now in its final draft form. “It’s a living document now,” said Clyde Duke, chairman of the Eastsound Planning and Review Committee. “The county now has the ability to do something, and it enables them to be more proactive.” On June 5 a joint meeting was held by the Eastsound Planning and Review Committee and County Development and Planning to present the final draft of the Eastsound Subarea Plan to the public. The plan was updated to help streamline, simplify and clarify regulations so development parameters can easily be determined. The most significant change is the addition of land use tables. The EPRC is still working on language for food trucks and kiosks in Eastsound. At the meeting items of interest included how to deal with business that go through a “change of use” or an “expand of use.” “We need to educate the
public not police them,” said Teri Williams, EPRC member. “The county needs to be more user-friendly to help property owners find out what they need so that they do not get into trouble.” Other topics of interest included the county-owned parcel, which was originally purchased for a Fern Street extension, between Prune Alley and North Beach Road. In the draft the parcel is called a transportation hub to support and promote non-motorized transportation. Possibilities for the hub include kiosks, picnic area, a community garden, bike racks and a shuttle stop off. “There is a lot of potential,” said Fred Klein, an EPRC member. He added that it may be premature to allocate the parcel to a transportation hub as it could “prejudice any future community conversation.” Gulliver Rankin, also serving on the EPRC, said the name transportation hub was chosen to describe the parcel in the hopes of securing grant funding. He said to think of it as allocating the space to something other than a road and as a stepping stone to something
the community can use in the future. The public will have another chance to add comments to the plan at the Planning Commission and EPRC workshop at Eastsound Fire Station on Friday, June 20 at 8:55 a.m. “It’s a long process,” said Duke. “But that’s what it takes.”
When Lila Richardson started shopping for kids’ furniture, she was discouraged by the particle board and toxic finishes used on most products. So she turned to her husband for help. “Ezra built our family a corner hutch, a picnic table, a bookshelf – they are so special to us,” Lila said. After recognizing the quality of their creations, the two teamed up to open an Eastsound storefront. Ezra hired a crew to help build furniture designs that are made of 100 percent salvaged Orcas wood milled on the island. Located in the old community garden space next to The Kitchen and Tres Fabu, Orcas Woodshop offers cedar tables, benches, stools and picnic boards. They use primarily cedar with some Madrona accents and iron work done by Steve Gropp of Salamander Forge. The wood is mostly untreated and if they do apply a finish, it’s natural. New pieces are arriving weekly. Ezra constructed an open-air, covered showroom on the property, and many of the items are displayed on the front lawn. Their opening day was over Memorial Day weekend and they sold two picnic tables. “Even if someone doesn’t buy something, just having people admire the work is wonderful,” Lila said. The store is open Thursday, Sunday and Monday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Friday from 11 a.m.

The couple says that at night, instead of watching a movie, they talk about ideas for their new business. “Anything I have been proud of in my life I’ve put a lot of effort into,” Lila said. “And we want our kids to see that mommy and daddy starting a business together is a fun memory.” Their children, six-yearold Sienna and five-yearold Hayes, are enthusiastic about the venture.

meet. Ezra grew up around woodwork: his father was a master woodcarver and built custom homes. He has also owned and operated a construction and landscaping business on the island for years and will continue to do that in conjunction with the workshop. “Creating has always been a part of his life,” Lila said. “We both have an appreciation for nice quality items – especially furniture.”

To the Editor:
Even kids care about pollution runoff
A big thank you to the Orcas Public Library
P
lanning to wash your car this weekend? Use pesticides in your garden? Ignore that oil leak in the old rig? You may not realize it, but even mundane decisions can influence the world we live in – and the quality of our lives for generations to come. Local laboratory Kwiáht is facilitating a program for young women to learn about eco-engineering this summer. It is sponsored by the American Association of University Women, and a large part of the program is learning about bioswales and the effect on runoff and drainage. Kwiaht has led several projects with kids that center around this topic. To read more see page two. The goal of the these kinds of projects is to nurture and inspire the scientists of the future. We want to remind everyone of the steps to be done today, right now. Humans and their many harmful activities, are bringing contaminants into our waters. Runoff pollution is associated with rainwater or melting snow that washes off roads, bridges, parking lots and rooftops. As it flows over these surfaces, the water picks up dirt and dust, rubber and metal deposits from tire wear, antifreeze and engine oil that has dripped onto the pavement, pesticides and fertilizers, and discarded cups, plastic bags, cigarette butts, pet waste, and other litter. These contaminants are carried into streams and oceans. Here are some common pollutants. • Oils and grease are leaked onto road surfaces from car and truck engines, spilled at fueling stations and discarded directly onto pavement or into storm sewers instead of being taken to recycling stations. • Heavy Metals: Heavy metals come from some “natural” sources such as minerals in rocks, vegetation, sand, and salt. But they also come from car and truck exhaust, worn tires and engine parts, brake linings, weathered paint, and rust. Heavy metals are toxic to aquatic life and can potentially contaminate ground water. • Grass and shrub clippings, pet waste, food containers, and other household wastes and litter can lead to polluted waters. Pet waste from urban areas can add enough nutrients to estuaries to cause premature aging, or “eutrophication.” • If fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides are applied excessively or improperly, they can be carried away by rain water. Pesticides and herbicides can be harmful to human and aquatic life. So let’s take a page from our kids and show Mother Earth a little tender loving care.

I can’t help begin by stealing a bit from the new Tonight Show host, Jimmy Fallon. He has a routine called “Thank you notes” where he holds his pen high in the air, swoops down and we hear his mind recite the note as he writes. So here is a personal thank you note to the Orcas Island Public Library in Jimmy Fallon fashion. Thank you Orcas Library for having so many books I want to read and for being able to find ones for me that you don’t have on hand. Thank you for having a subscription to Ancestry.com and shelves full of cool books about history (San Juan County and beyond). Thank you for having story time and a summer reading program (my kids loved both), and for having computers that I can use when Century Link is uncooperative at my house. Thank you for having terrific speakers like Richard Bach and workshops on all kinds of topics. And, thank you for continuing to stay abreast of current and future community needs. My thank you note has been sealed and sent but here is a P.S. I have loved teaching Ancestry. com classes at our library and participating in memoir and writing classes facilitated by JoEllen Moldoff and others. The community dropoff shelf is helpful, and once, I got a writing job after participating in a multi-island meeting via electronic conferencing in our library meeting room. As a child my family went to the Mt. Vernon library every two weeks, and we each used our own cards to check out our books. Then, in the summer, I enjoyed the competition during the summer reading program “make the longest caterpillar with the name of every book you read this summer” contest, and in high school I actually did enjoy going to the library to study in the evening. The more we can offer our young adults and children through the library, the greater their capabilities will become. I believe that a public library is truly the beating heart of a community, large or small. Our library has offerings for everyone no matter what their age, health, financial means, belief systems, or capacities.

Indian Island sign Kwiaht, the Indian Island Marine Health Observatory, and Nancy Knapp’s Fifth Grade class will celebrate the installation of an Indian Island Gateway interpretive sign on Main Street in Eastsound on Tuesday June 17 at 11:30 am. Student art describing animals and plants that live on Indian Island has been printed on vinyl and mounted on a low, sweepas the school is renovated next year. “It’s going to be a challenging year figuring out how to get kids fed while the cafeteria is closed and how to keep kids safe,” said Greg. “In the end it will be fantastic.” He also understands the transition will be difficult for kids like his autistic daughter who rely on structure. Overall he looks forward to being involved with the bigger picture of the school district, but that won’t stop him from volunteering with individual students and small groups like the knitting club. “That one-on-one time is really important,” he said.

ing galvanized steel form designed by Russel Barsh of Kwiaht and built by Bos Welding of Lopez. Just a few steps away from the stairs to the beach, the sign aims to encourage visitors to enjoy Indian Island gently and responsibly. Grade Five students studied the behavior and ecology of seven animals and plants for three months before preparing drawings and text for the sign. They will share some of their interests and what they learned at the June 17 ceremony. Indian Island became part of the San Juan Islands National Monument in 2013. It is administered by the Bureau of Land Management, and local volunteers of the Indian Island Marine Health Observatory provide monitoring and outreach to more than 6,000 visitors each year. Work on an informational sign began when volunteers discovered that most visitors were unaware of its ecological significance. See the sign at www.islandssounder.com.

Youth survey local stores
The eighth grade girls leadership group Circle and the high school group Point Blank found that local business owners care about how their stores are perceived. This discovery is based on information the group collected while conducting a Community Assessment of Neighborhood Stores. Over the past several weeks, they have been surveying stores as part of the statewide effort to prevent underage alcohol use. On Orcas there are five retailers that sell alcohol. Of the five that were surveyed, they found that: Five out of five stores do not use their store front windows to market alcohol and tobacco products.

ing alcohol and tobacco products next to youth items and away from exits. All five encouraged the youth to survey their store, were eager to know results and were open to positive suggestions for change. “We know that greater exposure to alcohol advertising contributes to an increase in drinking among underage youth,” said leadership advisor Julie Pinardi. “A 2006 study found that the more alcohol ads young people see, the more likely they are to drink. Visiting these stores gives us much needed information about our community and what we can do to support youth in making healthy choices and avoiding alcohol.” For info on preventing underage drinking, visit www.StartTalkingNow.org.

How do you know when you are ‘old’? by LIZ TAYLOR
What is aging? When is a person “old”? When I was a kid, I yearned to be older. My mom promised, “You’ll understand when you grow up.” But when I did get older, I discovered there were things I didn’t want to understand. My generation, the boomers, never intended to age. We wouldn’t do it! We swore we’d never trust anybody over 30, much less 50 or 60. Yet, here we are - all 78 million of us - cruising into middle and old age (the youngest is 50, the oldest 68).
For years I’ve seen the graying of my friends, the frailty and death of my parents, wrinkles on a face (mine!) that used to be seamless, even a trend in the comics to joke about growing old. The obituaries list people my age or younger who have died. So again, what is aging, and when is a person old? Having worked with many people in their 80s and 90s, I know there is no set answer. One definition has to do with our health - a person can seem ancient at 55 because of poor health, while another, 25 years

older, might be vital and lively. But the definition I’m talking about has little to do with age or health. Rather, it has to do with our perceptions of age. And our perception of who is old or young changes throughout our lives - as we age. Nature has devised a little-known phenomenon that allows each of us to believe we are young forever. Aging, after all, is relative, and our definition of “old” depends on whom we’re comparing ourselves to. Here’s how it works: We tend to perceive peo-
ple as being an acceptable age - neither “too young” nor “too old” - if they are within 10 years either side of our current age. Anyone over that 10-year boundary is either a “child” or a “relic.” See if this rings true for you. Let’s say you’re 40 years old. You meet your neighbors who are around 35. Unconsciously, you perceive them as being like you. You see a friend who’s 47. Same impression. But along comes Sam who just turned 65, and your internal alarm sounds. Old! Out-of-date! Yet to Sam, you’re a baby, an inex-
perienced youth. Sam, on the other hand, views people in their mid-50s to mid70s as his peers, while they seem ancient to you. This phenomenon was illustrated some years ago when my friend Bill lamented the premature death of his friend. The way he talked, his buddy sounded young. Finally I asked how old Bill’s friend was when he died. His answer: 86. Much too young to die, according to 81-year-old Bill! We keep this changing perception of age as long as we are alive. It guarantees that, while I may seem old
to you, I’ll always be young to myself. It also explains one of my favorite adages: The older I get, the older “old” gets. A resident of Lopez, Liz Taylor has worked in the aging field for 40 years and wrote a column for The Seattle Times. You can reach her at lizt@agingdeliberately. com. This column is sponsored by Cap Sante Court.
Deep communication with dogs Service dog trainer Leslie Liddle spoke at the May 25 Unitarian Fellowship service describing her connection with the dogs she works with. She shares these thoughts here.
I’ve always been fascinated with wildlife, which was encouraged by my parents who were both artists, one a musician and the other a painter. We spent our summers outdoors with my father fishing, my mother painting, and my brother’s and my wading through streams and exploring every little wild thing – be it a crawdad, mushroom, beetle, or milkweed pod. It was obvious to me that my family was happiest when we were together in the New York Adironack country, but we were highly stressed when we were not in that outdoor country and when my father was hard at work. What have I learned from my considerable time living with nature and a good variety of animals? We are all made of the same cloth. Within each one of us, whether we are a human, a dog, a dolphin, a raven or
an old growth fir tree, lies the inherent ability to bond to one another and to form a profound connection. I have learned at first meeting with wild animals, or practically every living thing, that it is most important to stop, quietly relax, tend to myself, but at the same time and very importantly – to listen and watch for signs that the object of my interest at some point shows interest in me – or not. If I do get a sign of interest, that will help me to creatively move toward connection. Then begins a slow and careful dance. There is no faking it. It is absolutely a two-way street. Once a safe connection is made, in which no one is devoured – and that connection with animals seems to often happen during a night spent in one another’s vicinity – a potentially deep bond between species can occur and be just as powerful as that within a single species, human or otherwise. Moving from curiosity to respect of one to the other is critical. And in my experience, the essential connection, the flicker of something called love, is born.

Although I earned a degree at the Assistance Dog Institute specifically for service dog training, everything I have really learned in terms of deep communication with dogs has been taught to me by observation and interaction with dogs themselves. I set very clear boundaries of personal respect. At the same time, my intention is that I deeply care for, like and enjoy each dog, and that feeling must be mutual. Some behaviors work, some don’t. I am teaching dogs skills that can help them to get along well with other dogs and people so they can be even more basically better and smarter than they already are – and we are still learning a lot about that process. Often a dog is difficult because effective inter-species communication has not happened, and a team is really at frustrating cross purposes. The point I try to make in dog training is to reinforce a dog’s confidence in himself, to enhance the handler’s effective communication, to show clearly (with precise timing) what needs to happen, to challenge and give a dog the exciting opportuni-

ty to choose what works and then to praise generously for “right” action. I see dog training as a trusted and partnered dance of synchronized voice, timing, rhythm and motion. Because dogs have keen senses and are so highly tuned, the more effectively a trainer can do this dance, the quicker dogs are able to synchronize and learn new skills. “Whispering” is a form of empathic understanding. It is a result of the experience of opening up one’s attitude of willingness, taking the time to simply observe and holding the desire to interact kindly with another species. “Whispering” is the gentle entrance into the “source” we living beings all share and the effective use of that as language for communication.
PORPOISE FROM 1 of an increase in the overall population. Whether due to age, competition or limited food supply, death is ever-present in the natural 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 increasing.” To report a stranding, call the Marine Mammal Stranding Network Hotline, 1-800-562-8832.

Obituary Godan (Dan) Meng Godan (Dan) Meng passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, May 23 at the age of 98. A long-time resident of Lopez Island, Dan was born in 1916 in Korsor, Denmark. After graduating as a Marine Engineer, Dan went to sea as a Danish Merchant Marine, where he sailed around the world many times. During World War II, when Denmark was occupied by the Nazis, Dan’s ship was appropriated by the Allies. On three harrowing occasions Dan and his shipmates nearly lost their lives, narrowly escaping Nazi submarines. Eventually Dan’s ship was brought to New York, where it was turned over to the United States’ government. In 1944, while in New York, Dan met and married the love of his life, Florence. After the war, Dan and his bride decided to move to Seattle, a port he had visited on his seafaring stopovers. Dan soon found work at Boeing as a supervisor in the Experimental Division, where he would continue to work for the next 25 years. During that time Dan and Florence raised six children. Dan was active in the lives of all of his children, as well as many community organizations such as the Thalia Youth Symphony, Cub Scouts, the
PT, School District Finance Committee, the Danish Brotherhood and Masonic Temple. Dan was proud to be an American War Veteran and a member of the American Legion. When Dan retired from Boeing in 1971, he began looking for a new adventure. That is when he and Florence moved to Lopez Island intending to purchase a marina, Dan’s lifelong dream. Ultimately, the Mengs ended up purchasing Richardson Store instead. Dan and Florence spent 43 years on Lopez Island, boating, fishing, gardening and logging. Dan was an active volunteer for the Lopez Senior Center and spent countless hours volunteering to help remodel or build many island institutions such as the church, medical clinic, community center and the original Islands Marine Center building. Dan made many good friends and was a very active member of the
WWW.ISLANDSSOUNDER.COM
Lopez Community Church Family. Dan and Florence were avid travelers, making several trips around both the country and the world, including multiple trips to Dan’s beloved Denmark. The Mengs were invited to both the 50th and 60th anniversary of the Liberation of Denmark, Norway and England – these were lavish royal celebrations, attended by the King and Queen of Denmark. The Mengs also went to Great Britain, where Dan was personally honored for his role in defending England. Dan is survived by his wife of 69 years, Florence, and a legacy of children (Karen, Loris, Eric, Dennis and Bob); his children-inlaw (Steve, Anne, Deb and Jennifer); 20 grandchildren; 28 great-grandchildren (and another on the way) and one great-great grandchild. He was preceded in death by his beloved son Ron and grandson Kory. A memorial service will be held at the Lopez Community Church on Saturday, June 14 at 1:30 PM, followed by a celebration of life at Woodman Hall. Please join in singing Dan’s theme song “Hen Skaal Live.” Dan wanted you to know how much he loved his family and enjoyed his church family and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Lopez Community Church and the Lopez Senior Services.

OCS staff say they are looking forward to having Albright as a part of the faculty because of her knowledge of the island and her vast experience with early childhood education. Albright attended Orcas Island Schools before moving to the Bay area and raising her family. During her time there, Albright completed her education and started South Valley Children’s Centers, offering before and after school programming and summer camps. After 20 years with South Valley Children’s Centers, Albright moved back to Orcas Island in 1996. While on the island, she worked

been the case, I had the easy job here, clearly. All I had to do was help her to breathe, massage her back and try not to pass out. Easy. And yet, though my role was somewhat passive, it was transformative. Ultimately, having two children and partnering with Andria to nurture them through every stage, every trauma and drama of childhood has taught me previously unimagined depths of empathy and compassion. Trying to parent mindfully has helped me grow, deepen my capacity for reflection, patience, toler-
ance and, dare I say, wisdom. I was a teacher years before I was a parent. I have always enjoyed playing and learning with kids. Children have such an infectious energy. They keep me young and playful. But it wasn’t until I had my own children that I began to be able to walk in their shoes and feel through their hearts. Parenting has taught me the lessons that now define my pedagogy as an educator: each child is unique, truly. This is a platitude to which many people will provide lip service, but it is a truth that has led me to help found a school and redefine my career and life’s work. Education should not be about pouring information into children on a predetermined schedule according to predefined standards. Education should be about helping children to selfdiscover and unfold naturally, holistically, in their own way and on their own schedule. When Quinn was four years old, we enrolled him in a lovely little neighborhood co-op preschool in Portland. But this did not turn out to be the joyful experience we had hoped. We watched kids running and playing, while Quinn sat alone, barely holding it together, like one big clenched muscle. It didn’t take long for us to realize that the traditional approach to education might not be optimal for him. It took a little longer for me to extrapolate that realization to children more broadly. I left mainstream education that year and we all moved up here to Orcas Island. It was a very happy accident that led me to connect with a small group of parents and begin to imagine that we could build a school around what were emerging as my core pedagogical beliefs. Salmonberry School was built on the fundamental principle that each child is absolutely unique. The teachers’ imperative is to continually wrestle with the questions, “What does this particular child, in this particular place, and in this unique developmental moment need from me? How can I engage them and kindle their fire for learning?” I had the great privilege of teaching my son for

All that jazz One World concert brings jazz festival to the Orcas Center stage by CALI BAGBY
F
Assistant editor
or Martin Lund, jazz is not just a genre. It is what Lund says he breathes, lives and drinks. He even named his daughter Jaz. “I love the celebration of jazz,” he said. So it makes perfect sense that this year’s One World concert theme is a jazz festival. The show is June 20 and 21 at 7:30 p.m. at Orcas Center. Last year’s concert followed the history of jazz whereas this year’s show explores a mix of jazz across the world and will even incorporate other genres. The show, as always, is a fundraiser for the Funhouse Commons. “It’s really a mix of jazz and classical coming together,” said Donna Laslo, event producer. There will be Brazilian, Afro-cuban, tango and French music. “Jazz can envelop all cultures; it basically works as a sponge,” said Lund. In the spirit of fostering a love of all that is jazz, Lund has brought top-notch talent to the community each year. According to Laslo, he always provides a diverse lineup, featuring up-and-coming acts as well as music legends from both northwest and beyond. The all-star line-up of musicians for this year’s show features Gail Pettis, three-time Earshot Jazz Best Vocalist in the Northwest. Her vocals are described by “Jazz Times” as “a retro air that hints at the silken sophistication and storytelling of a young Nancy Wilson.” “She’s hot stuff,” said Lund. Joining her are some of Seattle’s finest: Darin Clendenin (pianist), Paul Gabrielson (bass), Jon Goforth (sax), Ben Thomas (percussion) along with local greats, Willie Thomas, Charlie Porter, Oliver Groenewald, Gene Nery and Tony Morales. Martin’s daughter Jaz, fresh off an international tour, will also get in on the show. Local youth trio Almost Classical will also be stepping onto the stage in a new form as Almost Sisters. Besides bringing all-star musicians together Lund has a vision and a dream to someday host a Jazz Festival on Orcas Island. “We want to bring jazz lovers to the island and to boost the economy and to foster music education,” said Laslo. “We want to keep jazz music alive in the world.” Laslo hopes this year’s concert will help her and Lund to find out if people want a festival. “It’s the launching pad for something bigger,” she said, Laslo warns that the One World show sells out each year so she advises getting tickets early. Tickets are available through the Orcas Center Box Office at 376-ACT1 and online at www.orcascenter.org.

Profile of two candidates ‘A Small Family Business’ streamed at Orcas Center Two contenders – Jack and Morgan – in the Honorary Mayor of Eastsound race are off to a good start, both citing leadership and loyalty as two of their top qualities. The mayoral race is an annual fundraiser sponsored by and benefiting Children’s House. Voting is open to both islanders and visitors, who “buy” candidates into office by placing as many votes as they want at area polling locations or online. Each vote benefits the toddler and preschool children of Children’s House. The race concludes
FATHER FROM 9 five years, then my daughter for another six. Now they have both graduated from Salmonberry. I’ve been surprised to discover that my passion for this little school and my personal pedagogy are as strong as ever. Quinn and Emma, now 17 and 13 years old, have bestowed upon me this powerful legacy. They continue to challenge me to grow and rethink everything I thought I knew on a regular basis. In the time they spent in my classes, if they learned half of the lessons they taught me, they have received an incredible education indeed.
on July 5. (Then follow the ongoing dialogue between the candidates and complete details at orcasislandmayor.wordpress.com.) Candidate: Morgan Sponsor: Chimayo/Sazio Manager: Janine Frizzell and Chad Chandler Top Issues: Children, GMOs and parks The Dog Scoop: A Boston-Terrier/Pug (Bugg), Morgan’s youthful enthusiasm for Orcas is evident in all his campaigning. He believes early childhood education is vital. He barks out against GMOs and yips for our green spaces. Unique Quality: Nose. “It’s nice and big and can smell trouble, fear or peanut butter from miles away.” Candidate: Jack Sponsor: Jillery Owner/Manager: Jill and
Roger Curtiss Campaign Slogan: “Back Jack. A Blind Visionary” Top Issues: Water bowls for all, green spaces and crossing signs. Dog Scoop: Jack is a Golden Retriever who lost his sight more than a year ago but says it has not diminished his vision for Eastsound. He supports growth in residential and commercial spaces with attention to maintaining green spaces and safe intersections. (Jack can personally attest to the need for a Pedestrian Crossing sign on Main St. at the Prune Alley intersection.) Unique Qualities: Patience and a forgiving heart. “I have a special relationship with children. I grant them latitude in their exuberance when they approach me.”
We’ve Got You Covered
Children are like kites by Erma Bombeck You spend a lifetime trying to get them off the ground. You run with them until you are both breathless. They crash. They hit the rooftop. You patch and comfort, adjust and teach. You watch them lifted by the wind and assure them that someday, they will fly. Finally, they are airborne; They need more string and you keep letting it out; But with each twist of the ball of twine, There is a sadness that goes with joy. The kite becomes more distant and you know it won’t be long before that beautiful creature will snap the lifeline that binds you two together and will soar, free and alone. Only then do you know that you did your job. From “Forever, Erma: Best Loved Writing from America’s Favorite Humorist,” Andrews McNeel Publishing, 1997.

“A Small Family Business” streams live to Orcas Center on Thursday, June 12, at 7:30 p.m. Jack McCracken: a man of principle in a corrupt world. But not for long. Moments after taking over his father-in-law’s business he’s approached by a private detective armed with some compromising information. Jack’s integrity fades away as he discovers his extended family to be thieves and adulterers, looting the business from their suburban homes. Rampant self-interest takes over and comic hysteria builds to a macabre climax. “A Small Family Business” is returning to the stage it was originally written for in 1987, before transferring to Broadway for a successful run. The production is designed with huge size and

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
