Immigrants may feel safer under a new county code, but it may surpass local government power. On Tuesday, Aug. 15, San Juan County Council unanimously adopted an ordinance to prevent the collection of immigration statuses. Without this information, county staff cannot share it with federal agencies to deport undocumented immigrants. “This may or may not be a perfect initiative, typically that’s what the courts are for to ultimately resolve,” said Councilman Bill Watson. “What’s really important is that our residents feel they have equal protection.” If the ordinance had not been adopted by council, an initiative proposing it would have been on the general election ballot this fall. The public hearing brought roughly 20 residents who spoke in support of adopting the ordinance that day and two against. The main unfavorable opinion at the meeting came from San Juan County Prosecuting Attorney Randall Gaylord. He said he opposed the ordinance because some sections violate local, state and federal laws and prohibit everyday county employees’ work. These violations may lead to lawsuits against the county, he added. Eleanor Hoague of Orcas, who wrote the initiative, is a retired lawyer with 40 years of immigration advocacy experience. While she was not permitted by the council to give a presentation the way Gaylord did at the meeting, she later told the Journal she

used an immigration guidance on immigration by the Washington Attorney General to write the initiative. According to a Washington Attorney General press release, the guidance was created to “help local government entities…respond to federal requests for assistance with immigration enforcement.” One section Gaylord objected to prevents county staff from releasing information to any local, state or federal government agency unless it includes a judicial order. This, he said, breaches Title 8 of the U.S. Code, which states releasing immigration statuses to government agencies cannot be restricted. The guidance, however, states Title 8 does not require agencies to collect information about citizenship. Gaylord said assisting other law enforcement agencies maintains safe communities, while Hoague said it leads to deportation. See IMMIGRATION, Page 4

Popeye the seal bites a tourist By Hayley Day Reporter

Usually, visitors feed Popeye, the harbor seal who frequents the Port of Friday Harbor. On Thursday, Aug. 10, Popeye took a bite of a tourist instead. “She jumped out and grabbed hold of my arm,” said Gerald Balmer of Arlington, Washington. “She looked up at me like ‘well I woke you up, now give me a fish.’” Balmer docked into his guest slip at the port about 10 minutes prior to the incident. The 71-year-old, who had just returned from a fishing trip, was resting his arm against the edge of his boat, when Popeye grabbed it around 7 p.m. “It’s possible my arm looked like a dead fish,” he said. Balmer wasn’t leaning over his 24-foot vessel or feeding Popeye. In fact, he

said, he was ignoring her repeated splashes. Jennifer Olson, San Juan County Marine Mammal Stranding Network coordinator at The Whale Museum, said, that to her knowledge, this is the “most serious” report of a Popeye bite and the only one that does not involve someone feeding her. Olson said MMSN staff has received multiple reports, over the years, of minor bites from Popeye during feedings. MMSN staff helps beached marine mammals return to the ocean. Locals and tourists have been known to feed the roughly 30-year-old seal for the majority of her life, said Port of Friday Harbor Director Todd Nicholson. Recently, the port, in cooperation with staff from The Whale Museum and National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Protest art by island protestor By Hayley Day Reporter

Photography, for San Juan Islander Jenny Rice is about reality. “A photo has a rawness that can’t be denied,” she said. That rawness is seen in images like “Americana,” where the lifelong islander sits topless at a table strewn with prescription pill bottles and an alcohol flask labeled “We drool 4 fossil fuel.” Her nipples are covered with barcodes, her hair wrapped in an American flag. The art is about protesting, she said, whether that’s Americans’ addiction to oil or the current presidential administration. Her first piece was published online, last Inauguration Day; a sign that reads “not my president” covers her naked body. Rice is no stranger to controversy. For roughly four years, she battled a lawsuit over a shared, private road to her San Juan Island property. It was to be the island’s first marijuana farm, after state legislatures legalized it in 2014, but neighbors objected to the business next to their homes. Ultimately, Rice lost the lawsuit, but found her voice. “I protested against the

lawsuit simply by publicizing what was happening,” she said. Now, she’s participating in her first arts event, the San Juan Island Summer Arts Festival. The festival, now in its second year, runs from 4 to 10 p.m., every Friday in August at Brickworks. It includes about 30 vendors of jewelry makers, bakers, clothes designers, and more. Director of the festival, Clare Wright, said sales support its producer, the San Juan County Arts Council. The festival, she said, features non-traditional artists, who might not be displayed in galleries. To read a more in-depth version of this story, visit www.sanjuanjournal.com.

Administration West Coast Region, have increased efforts to prohibit feeding Popeye and other wildlife. Nicholson said port staff placed a sign banning interaction with marine mammals near Friday Harbor Seafood, before the attack. The shop previously sold fish to feed Popeye, who was often spotted in the neighboring water, waiting for handouts. This, said Nicholson, needs to stop. “Popeye is a longtime resident here, but we don’t want the feeding to continue,” he said. “It’s unsafe for people and animals.” Nicholson said Popeye is likely nearing the end of her life, so preventing the feeding of additional seals is crucial. “We don’t want to extend this behavior to another generation,” he said. It is illegal to feed, touch or harass marine mammals thanks to federal law since 1972, added Olson. Fines for these interactions can reach up to $10,000 per infraction, she said. Popeye is named after the cartoon character because her left eye is blind. After the bite, a registered nurse on a neighboring boat

cleaned Balmer’s wound. He was later treated at a veteran’s hospital in Seattle where staff, he said, researched seal bites for two hours to learn how to treat him. Olson admitted that harbor seal bites are rare, but not as rare with Popeye. “Animals that associate humans with food can sometimes get aggressive when they are expecting a handout,” she said. Olson added that protecting her roughly 3-week-old pup could have attributed to Popeye’s aggressiveness. Joe Gaydos, with the SeaDoc Society, said he contacted Balmer, after he was treated, to ensure he was on the correct antibiotics. SeaDoc Society is part of the veterinary school at UC Davis. Gaydos told Balmer he could contract three potentially life threatening illnesses — two infections from bacteria in the seal’s mouth and one virus that could cause swelling. Each illness requires different medicine. Balmer confirmed he has no complications from the bite, or even hard feelings. “I don’t blame Popeye,” he said. “She’s been taught to feed from people for 20 years.”

Immigration Continued from page 1

“It would break my heart if a father, a mother was accused of child abandonment, and prior to their being convicted, they were turned over to ICE [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] and deported, breaking up a family,” she said. Another section Gaylord objected to prevents county staff from collecting, not only information on national origin and immigration status, but race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, even if given voluntarily. This, said Gaylord, violates a state law that requires superintendents of correctional facilities to inquire about the nationality and immigration status of inmates. Hoague said there is no conflict with state law because the information would be collected after the citizen was convicted of a crime, while the initiative is preventing collecting information before a judicial ruling. That section also prevents many county departments from collecting data, said Gaylord, including the sheriff ’s office’s collection of suspect, victim and witness information, which could stall crime investigations or incriminate incorrect suspects. Councilman Rick Hughes asked if this limitation on data collection would prevent the completion of county job applications or employee health benefits forms. Gaylord said yes, as there are no exemptions in that section. Hoague said the heading of this initiative section specifies that it only applies

The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com

to immigration, not personnel or other law enforcement documents. Rhea Miller of Lopez, who served 10 years on the San Juan County Council, said making council decisions isn’t always easy, especially with the issues Gaylord mentioned, but the councilmen have the community’s support. “You know in your hearts this is the right thing to do,” she said. Berto Gandara, the priest at Emmanuel Episcopal Parish on Orcas Island, said he knows immigrants who are apprehensive of law enforcement out of fear of being deported. The ordinance could instill trust and passing it would prevent a hostile election season, he said. County staff already comply with some sections of the initiative, said Gaylord, though processes are not written in county code. These processes include a section of the ordinance that prevents the interrogation or arrest of citizens based on immigration status or race. Gaylord previously told the Journal that San Juan County deputies do not comply with ICE requests to hold undocumented immigrants for deportation if it’s past their scheduled release dates unless warrants are issued. Under the current federal administration, ICE officers request law enforcement agencies to detain citizens without warrants, said Gaylord, which, he added, is unconstitutional. “We do many things to help immigrants, whether they are living here in the community safely, victims of crimes, or even charged with offenses,” said Gaylord to the

council about this policy. “We treat them in a fair way, that’s consistent with others.” Hughes had some issues with the initiative, though he ultimately supported it. He questioned the section that states county employees and elected officials must receive voter approval before entering into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and its divisions of ICE and Customs and Border Protection. This, said Gaylord, contradicts the county charter, which gives county council the authority to make those decisions. Hoague said ordinances, like this one, can limit the charter. One section of the initiative also bans Homeland Security representatives from questioning citizens in San Juan County’s jail, as well as overflow facilities, like in Island County, where inmates are often transferred due to the lack of local space. During the discussion, Hughes said he did not want to send inmates to more expensive facilities to meet the ordinance’s standards. Hoague said requesting these standards is not unreasonable. Gaylord mentioned federal funding was also at risk. He explained that grants, which partly fund county staff ’s prosecutions and investigations into drug crimes, would likely be revoked if the ordinance passed, as he was already warned of the risk. Councilman Jamie Stephens noted that the county’s federal funding would likely be stripped even if the ordinance wasn’t adopted. San Juan County has already been listed on ICE sanctuary jurisdictions reports, based on staff ’s immigration policies prior

to the ordinance adoption. The lists were created to find uncompliant municipalities to ban federal funding, said Stephens. A sanctuary jurisdiction does not cooperate with federal efforts to deport undocumented immigrants. The sanctuary jurisdiction reports were created after President Donald Trump signed an executive order, last winter, to ban federal funding from these areas. The majority of the executive order was blocked by the courts last spring, said Hoague. She expects to see an additional ruling about the unconstitutionality of the grant limitations Gaylord mentioned, as well. Gaylord said municipalities typically don’t make formal declarations as sanctuary jurisdictions, but the county’s policies before and after the initiative adoption define the county as one to the current federal administration. According to San Juan County code, the ordinance cannot be changed for two years, unless a different, citizen-created initiative amended or repealed it. This could not be done until next year’s general election. The council adopted the ordinance, at the end of the roughly two-hour hearing, followed by a room full of applause. “I truly believe we’re not trying to ruin the rule of law, we’re just trying to get our local law enforcement to do their job and the federal law enforcement do their job,” said Stephens.

“I am honored that you have placed your trust in me. I am wholeheartedly dedicated to continue moving forward, and it is my mission to support our students, our families and our teachers,” said WerlingSandwith. Ruth McKenna followed with 19.9 percent of the votes. There was .68 percent of a difference between McKenna’s final count and another position 1 candidate Heather Christensen’s

numbers. State law would have mandated a recount if the difference was .50 percent or less. McKenna thanked the community for support. “I will work hard to build consensus to move forward with needed improvements in special education and a rigorous K-12 curriculum that exceeds state standards for all students,” she said. For position 2, Barbara Bevens led with 53.12 percent of the votes, followed

Letters to the Editor Immigration initiative railroaded

I attended the Aug. 15 county council hearing regarding the immigration/ sanctuary initiative sponsored by the Orcas Island Women’s Coalition. I was shocked that many speakers urged the council to adopt the initiative in order to avoid it appearing on the November ballot. Their rationale was that if the council adopted the ordinance now instead of deferring to the voters in November, it would prevent “divisive, unpleasant discourse” between those who support it and those who don’t. Well, gosh, we can’t have that. Basically, these speakers were urging the county council members to railroad their initiative into law because they don’t want any opposition to have a voice, to shut down debate, the implication being that voters who support the rule of law rather than the rule of feelings are all racists and shouldn’t be heard.

Popeye problem

On Thursday evening Aug. 10, a guest in the Friday Harbor Marina was bitten on the arm by Popeye the seal. The guest was resting his arm on the edge of his boat and not feeding or interacting with the harbor seal. We do not know what led to the bite but prior to this event, the Port had been cooperating with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, local businesses, and the Marine Mammal Stranding Network to discourage the feeding of wildlife at the marina. It is our hope and intention that we make future incidents like this less likely by proactively engaging with our guests about

the hazards posed by feeding wildlife at the marina. Popeye has been a beloved visitor to the Friday Harbor Marina for decades. This had led to the misconception that Popeye will suffer if she is not fed by people. While she has become accustomed to receiving food from visitors, she remains highly capable of feeding in the wild and continues to do so for long stretches each year. The Port is currently working with partner agencies and local businesses to place educational signage and materials in the marina. Without exception, the residents and guests of Friday Harbor want what is best for Popeye and our other wild inhabitants. The goal of our educational effort is to assure people that not feeding wildlife, including Popeye, is actually healthier and safer for both the animals and our guests. The Port of Friday Harbor and the Marine Mammal Stranding Network appreciate all of the public and local business support in our efforts to safeguard our guests, Popeye and other wildlife at the marina.

An immigration ordinance was adopted by the San Juan County Council with little citizen opposition on Aug. 15. By adopting the ordinance, the council denied citizens the time to learn about the proposal, debate its merits and vote on it this November. The ordinance aims to protect undocumented aliens from deportation by preventing the collection of immigration statuses. If county staff doesn’t have this information, it can’t be shared with federal immigration agencies. We support the protection of people in our community no matter their race, gender or religion, but we also believe that the only way a democracy works is to have informed voters. The public hearing on the ordinance left more questions than answers. The Immigrant Rights Group of the Orcas Women’s Coalition garnered 2,382 signatures for Initiative 2017-07 just before June 30. The council had the option to pass the initiative or allow voters to decide in a general election. Citizens, who were not aware of the proposal, had just three weeks, between council’s first immigration initiative discussion and the public hearing, to learn about it and share comments before the council’s vote. That was not enough time for citizens to unpack the four pages of complicated references to state and federal laws without the help of public forums, voters’ guides and the press to explain the proposal. County council members discuss an issue three times before they hold a public hearing and vote. However, there was no discussion at those three prior meetings about how the initiative was written or what local, state and federal laws it could potentially violate. Those three meetings should have been used more wisely. San Juan County Prosecuting Attorney Randall Gaylord shared his interpretation of the ordinance’s legal violations for the first time, just before the council’s vote. Initiative writer Eleanor Hoague was not allowed to present her counter-argument to Gaylord at that meeting; she was only allowed to answer council’s questions. This created a disconnect, where no one addressed Gaylord’s serious allegations and the ordinance still passed. Read about Gaylord’s concerns on page 1 of this edition. Today’s presidential administration creates confusing, broad executive orders and policies; the legality of these orders constantly waivers as courts decide their constitutionality. Now, more than ever, it is important to maintain communication locally and prevent misinformation. In a Democracy, knowledge is power, but in this case, those responsible for educating the public failed to do so before a new local law passed. As a San Juan County voter, I felt uninformed about the issues when leaving the public hearing. As a member of the press, I feel responsible for not providing more information to the public, sooner. Let’s make sure we don’t let this happen again.

Letters

Continued from page 5 participants, faculty and staff of the Friday Harbor Elementary School Summer Academy 2017, we wish to thank the Community Foundation of San Juan Island and the Women’s Fund for their grant support of our program. The three-week session enabled our incoming 2017-18 (first through fourth grade) children to be prepared for their school year. A team of six educators worked with the students utilizing and teaching appropriate math skill sequences as the second session of the day emphasized reading, writing and word studies using theater games, singing and public speaking. The children attended morning classes (Monday-Thursday) from July 31 through Aug. 17. Their day was divided between the

math and English disciplines with a snack and recess break. As we all share in the responsibility of providing our island children with a positive educational experience, it is the important support of organizations such as the Community Foundation of San Juan Island and the Women’s Fund that enable us to enhance our community and the academic goals of our young residents. Thank you. We are so grateful for this support! DIANE BALL Principal JANE MAXWELL CAMPBELL Summer School Teacher FH Elementary School

Jazzed about labs

We are pleased to announce that the UW Friday Harbor Labs’ 17th Jazz at the Labs, our fundraiser supporting the Friday Harbor

Labs K-12 Science Outreach Program (FHLSOP), was a tremendous success! Aug. 12, was a breezy but pleasant evening of generous giving, energizing music, great food and fabulous wine from Mike’s Café and Wine Bar and San Juan Vineyards. This year’s “Fund-a-Need” effort raised funds to support two engaging FHLSOP science programs — the high school Biotech Labs at Friday Harbor High and Spring Street International School; and the Friday Harbor Elementary School’s fourth grade Nearshore Fish Habitats Projects. The audience was incredibly generous responding to a 1:1 match opportunity from a fabulous supporter of the FHLSOP. Matched funds will be added to the new UW Friday Harbor Laboratories Science Outreach Program K-12 Endowed Fund supporting the FHLSOP in perpetuity.

This event’s fundraising supports our FHLSOP projects at every grade level in the San Juan Island public schools and the Spring Street International School. In 2017-18, we will work with approximately 740 students and 25 teachers. The goal of the FHL Science Outreach Program is to get students actively involved in the process of science. Our program gives students the opportunity to ask questions and collect data while participating in experiments and dynamic fieldwork. We thank our 2017 Jazz at the Labs’ sponsors: C and E Publications, Cask and Schooner Restaurant, Coldwell Banker SJI, Burke Critchfield, eVantage Direct, Friday Harbor Drug, Island Petroleum Services, Islanders Insurance, Kings Market, Sharon Lannan, Luxel Corporation, Warren & Elaine Nagano, the Olshefsky Family, Roche Harbor

Resort, San Juan Interiors, San Juan Safaris, Larry Soll and Nancy Maron, Gary and Susan Sterner, Tops’l Restaurant, and Toyota of Bellingham. FHLSOP has also received important program support from Dr. Carolyn Haugen, Rebecca & Robert Pohlad, Wells Fargo Foundation, San Juan Island Community Foundation & Women’s Fund and the Port of Friday Harbor. Thank you to the Jazz at the Labs’ audience and to the San Juan Island Community. It is your support that makes this program possible. We look forward to our 17th year working with students!!

good new jobs. The AJCE is an impressive coalition of environmental and labor groups taking a holistic approach to transitioning off fossil fuels. I’ve been promoting the concept of “Just Transition” since I learned about it in 1998, as a Trade Union delegate to the U.N. Commission on Sustainable Development. Just Transition is an organized, well-funded way to speed the transition to renewable energy and energy efficiency while providing protection for those who would likely be most impacted by

the transition - low income people, people of color, people working in the fossil fuel industry and energyintensive industries in our state. The AJCE’s plan for a Just Transition is, I believe, realistic, responsible and positive. I encourage you to watch this one-hour video of Sameer Ranade (who came to Friday Harbor to do a presentation with me in May), in which he goes into

the specifics of the policy: w w w. y o u t u b e . c o m / watch?v=J9M3EidmvYk Last summer I collected signatures for Initiative 732.

I’m the AJCE’s “hub” person for San Juan County, so I’ll have materials for people who need them.

Obituary

Christopher “Kit” Rawson 1950-2017 Christopher “Kit” Bennett Rawson climbed his last hill on Aug. 7, 2017. He was born on June 7, 1950 in Philadelphia to Richard Rawson and Constance Kepke Rawson. He grew up in Riverside, Connecticut, sailing on Long Island Sound and swimming competitively. He attended Phillips Academy, Columbia University, the University of Arizona, and the University of Washington where he met his wife, Kathy Thornburgh. Kit and Kathy were married in 1980 at the UW Marine Laboratories in Friday Harbor where they lived on their wooden sail boat before becoming the first caretakers of the Nature Conservancy’s Yellow Island Preserve.

Kit and Kathy moved to Anchorage where Kit worked for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Their children, Jacob and Laurel, were born in Alaska. The family enjoyed the Alaskan wilderness by canoeing, picking blueberries, fishing for salmon and hiking in the mountains. The family moved back to Washington state where, for 30 years, Kit advocated a science-based approach to salmon harvest management in policy, legal, and technical areas representing the Tulalip Tribes and other tribes at the local, state, interstate, and international levels. Kit was a passionate salmon biologist who dedicated his life to promoting the preservation, protec-

tion, and recovery of salmon in the Salish Sea. Even in retirement, his expertise was sought by researchers developing ecosystem models for the Salish Sea, to better understand the factors affecting the declines in early marine survival of Salish Sea salmon and steelhead. His unique and broad-minded approach crossed cultures and political boundaries and he sought ways to bring them together. Kit delighted and excelled in creating and building things: from pasta to pergolas, a cedar shake outhouse on Yellow Island, maps of bicycle routes across Europe and along the east coast of the United States, salmon recovery plans, and loving bonds with his family and new granddaughter. In 1987 Kit embarked on a decadelong family adventure, designing and constructing

a cabin on San Juan Island that will always hold his memory. Kit was never happier than when on a bike, whether riding to town for groceries or pedaling the length of Great Britain. Kit and Kathy’s travels were not limited to bicycles and special trips included travels to China and Ghana to visit their children. Kit contributed to his community by serving on the board of the SeaDoc Society and the Skagit Land Trust. He was an advocate for bicycle and pedestrian transportation and was a bicycle instructor for the League of American Cyclists. Kit was passionate about his progressive and environmentalist politics and advocated sciencebased policy. Kit was preceded in death by his father. He is survived by his mother;

She was also a part-time farmer, growing vegetables for Two Harbors restaurants and selling at farmers market. “It’s very exciting to be a part of the sustainable food movement and raise our family in such a beautiful place,” said Coffey about moving to the islands. In her position, Coffey will focus on Ag Guild projects and the Brickworks facility. Rentals help fund projects like Island Grown and the San Juan County Food Hub. Coffey said “the Ag Guild is working on some pretty exciting county-wide projects.” Long-time islander Davies raised her two daughters on San Juan Island. An early supporter of Spring Street International School, Davies managed the school office and traveled internationally with her daughters in tow. She subsequently spent 10 years as an EMT and was the executive assistant at San Juan Island EMS for 11 years. Davies loves gardening, sailing, and playing with her two grandsons. “I’m excited to be part of another growing adventure here at the San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild and to help support our community of farmers.” Plant moved to the

islands from London, UK six years ago to join her husband in an organic notill farming and research operation. Previously, she enjoyed over 15 years working internationally as a “socially engaged artist,” creating projects that combined art, activism, and community building. Plant joined the Ag Guild in 2015. “Since the birth of my baby last year,” she said, “it’s a pleasure to be able to work part time, focusing on the Island Grown program and supporting the vital mission of the Ag Guild with such a fabulous, growing team!” For info, call 378-0095, email info@sjiagguild.com, or go to sjiagguild.com.

Theater fund

San Juan Community Theatre’s record-breaking production of Chicago last Spring has prompted the creation of a new fundraising campaign dedicated to the future of musical theater at SJCT. When part-time islander and longtime theater supporter Suzy Wakefield first saw the play in the Whittier Theatre, she was so “blown away” she saw it again the next night. She then contacted SJCT trustees to suggest that something be done to acknowledge Director Margaret Hall’s “extraordinary” work and

to ensure future musical theater productions are just as stellar. Wakefield pitched in $10,000 to start up the new Margaret Hall Musical Theatre Fund. “It just came from the heart,” said Suzy. “Coming from somewhere else and seeing the quality of the productions [that are made up of volunteers, not professionals], I just feel someone has to acknowledge it.” Additional donors came forward to bring the fund balance up to $15,000, which prompted the SJCT board of trustees to start up a challenge campaign to provide the opportunity for the entire island community to participate, with a goal of $30,000 by Sept. 30. Funds will be used for production equipment, including more wireless microphones, video monitoring equipment, and stage lighting. “These are just some of the things that would improve the quality of our plays and enhance the theatre experience— not only for the audience, but also for our many volunteers, both onstage and behind the scenes,” noted Hall, who has directed or assisted directed in more than a dozen musicals at SJCT since moving to Friday Harbor in 1992. Donations (all sizes welcome) to the Margaret Hall Musical Theatre fund at

Registration is $60 via www.sjctheatre. org or the box office (3783210). Weston has been touring Silverstein’s one-act play for more than five years. It tells the story of an unforgettable character who never met a bet he didn’t take, including that of his own soul. The Oregonian said that “Weston’s pleasure in reciting Silverstein’s humorously witty and sometimes playfully raunchy poetry is apparent.”

Islander creates mini Hiyu replica By Hayley Day Reporter

The Samish ferry may be out of service, but Fred Perez of San Juan Island is bringing the Hiyu back in rotation. “I’ve actually floated it in my bathtub,” said Fred, “but that’s not a very good place to run it.” The Hiyu model Fred built is just like the original, now-decommissioned Washington State Ferry, expect built to a 1/64 inch scale. Instead of 162-feet long, it’s about 30 inches. Instead of steel, the majority of the structure is plastic. He operates it from a wireless remote control, which commands the direction of the rudders and speed of the propellers. There are LED lights on the car and passenger decks, which change from clear to green when in reverse. Two engraved popsicle sticks serve as the Hiyu name boards. According to www.wsdot.wa.gov, the Hiyu was in service from 1967 to 2016, until it was sold to be turned into “entertainment vessel” on Lake Union in Seattle. Fred first started construction around 1994, soon after he and his wife Colette moved to San Juan Island from Southern California. She requested a model of what she called the “little ferry that could,” after WSF staff placed it in storage in the late 90s. Colette had recommended a mailbox in the shape of her favorite ferry, but what she received was from the mind of an engineer. “I know how exact the details are, I know the perfection of the scales,” she said. Fred studied mechanical engineering at Penn State. Later, he briefly worked on capsules for the Apollo program, which eventually landed the first man on the moon. Around his San Juan home, he’s done plumbing and built cars. “I can take most things apart and put them back together again,” he said. Those skills helped him to create the ship’s electrical circuits and cut the designs, laid over plastic, with a utility knife. Fred finished construction last year, after working on the project intermittently. Now, he’s looking for a freshwater pond, protected from the wind, for the vessel’s maiden voyage. He doesn’t want parts like the stainless steel anchor or brass propellers to corrode in salt water or a small ripple to act as a large wave to the tiny vessel. The Hiyu, he said, was about 10 knots slower than other ferries. “If it can do one or two knots,” said Perez, “I’ll be happy.” To recommend a body of water for the miniature Hiyu’s maiden voyage, contact the Journal at 378-5696. Staff photos/Hayley Day

Funds for Kiwanis scholarships Submitted by the Kiwanis Club

The Kiwanis Club of Friday Harbor received a matching grant of $7,500 from the Honeywell Charitable Fund of The Community Foundation of the Rappahannock River Region. This money will be used to help fund the annual scholarships awarded by the Kiwanis to Friday Harbor

High School seniors. Over the last four years, Kiwanis has provided over $40,000 in scholarships. In 2014, $7,250 was awarded to 10 students; in 2015, $10,000 was awarded to 11 students; in 2016, $12,500 was awarded to 17 students; and last year, 2017, $11,000 was awarded to 15 seniors. “I can think of no better gift than helping young

people to continue their education,” said President Vicky Thalacker. “With a good education, all kinds of doors can be opened that will have a profound effect on their lives.” Dave and Nancy Honeywell are committed to helping our local community in numerous ways. The Kiwanis requested a challenge grant for its annual Pig War Picnic and was award-

ed a generous gift from the Honeywell Charitable Trust, continuing a partnership they have enjoyed with the Honeywell’s for the past three years. “It’s a lot of work to put on the annual picnic, but it’s worth it in when you think of all the great things we can do in the community with the money we raise,” said Thalacker. “The Honeywell partnership has allowed our

club to impact many kids right here on our island”. The Pig War Picnic has evolved into a major attraction for the annual Friday Harbor Fourth of July celebration. In addition to the Honeywell’s support, a number of local businesses also help make the event possible. These local companies sponsor the event at the $600 level and up: Islanders Bank, Kenmore Air, Browne’s Home Center, Ace Hardware, Chicago Title, Heritage Bank, and Kings Market.

Life Care Center awards On August 8, 2017 Life Care of the San Juan Islands celebrated our employees and a volunteer of the year. Though difficult to select, a few stand out with their efforts to make residents lives more comfortable and fun. The Volunteer of the Year Award went to Ron Garner. He started coming to the Life Care Center in 2007. He shared his interest in genealogy with residents encouraging them to explore their own family backgrounds. He went on to purchase an LGB Ron Garner Garden Train and build a full elevated railroad with and for the residents. This has inspired residents, families and staff to participate in sharing train stories and is a favorite activity. Ron’s dedication is invaluable. We can never thank him enough for his unconditional gifts of caring and sharing. Kittie Laloata was nominated by many of her coworkers for the Team Spirit Award. The majority of the residents and staff have had the pleasure of experiencing Kittie’s enthusiasm, optimism, Kittie Loloata compassion and love. Examples are: a new jacket hanging in your closet when your favorite one went missing, or vacation time magically showing up on your paycheck when all yours had been used to take care of a family member. Kittie never says “no” to help out anywhere in the building, from the laundry to the kitchen to doing one-on-ones with residents in need. “Her genuine spirit creates synergy in the workplace. She is the rainbow and the pot of gold,” says Janice Fisher, ED. Three assistants are chosen each year for CNA of the Year. They are Nasaria Lopez, Elizabeth Taylor and Valeria Wagner. Each recipient exhibits the finest qualities in resident care as well as aiding other staff. Nasaria’s supervisor says “she is one of those employees that is always on time, consistently comes to work with a happy smile and a lightness in her tone. Her residents are well groomed and cared for.” Another wrote “I have observed Nasaria working with residents

Nasaria Lopez

who can be resistive to any care, but she finds the right balance of encouraging them and backing away to try a different approach later. She also restocks supplies to make it easier for the next shift to provide care.” She models competency and is a great role model and coach for new aides.

Valeria returned from Bolivia to the San Juan Islands several years ago. Valeria Wagner on Her Assistant certhe left and Elizabeth tification was hard Taylor on the right earned, but her perseverance paid off. Life Care is delighted to have her join the nursing team. Valeria is a non-stop worker with the resident’s pleasures in mind and not just their basic needs. She is one of the few staff members who go all out for dressing up for every holiday as well as dressing up the residents. She dances for and with the residents even when they are wheelchair bound. When Valeria isn’t working, you will find her cooking Mexican food to share with her coworkers and assisting in decorating for the holidays or special events. Elizabeth is not as famous as her name sake, but ought to be for all she does. She is “spirited, organized, compassionate, creative, fun-loving, caring, flexible, persistent and hard-working” to use some of the adjectives shared by her fellow employees to describe her. She is a woman of many talents from care-giving, to scheduling to sewing, cooking and driving the van. Elizabeth will help everyone with anything. Janice Fisher writes, “Elizabeth has a vision to see that everyone becomes the best they can be. She does not limit her vision to her immediate family. She has spent hours of her own time helping other aides study to pass the certification exam and has been successful in this endeavor several times.” Congratulations to our winners. Life Care is sincerely grateful to all our employees, and happy to extend these awards to those that exemplify our mission with hard work and grace.

The Honeywells have only been on the island for a few years. Their generosity and philanthropy toward the local community should be noted. They have also helped Island Rec, the local Food Bank, the San Juan Islands Museum of Art, and others. We are fortunate they picked San Juan Island for a place to enjoy their senior years and are grateful for their generosity.

Local author’s newest work By Eleanor Harper Local author

My latest book, “England,” reflects my great and abiding love and esteem for the country of my birth and my desire to demonstrate this love with a book of poems and sketches. England is a county of historic significance. In London, the capital, the buildings with their mellowed walls emanate intrigue and infamy, from the Tower of London to Westminster Abbey, and to Buckingham Palace, the seat of royalty. The countryside is peaceful and serene stretching across hills and dales with fields bordered with hedgerows and crossed by stiles and abundant with wild flowers. An appreciation of English cuisine has always been apparent from Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding and Sherry Trifle, to Bangers and Mash and Treacle Tart. England’s poets novelists and dramatists have engraved their signatures for posterity. My previous books of poems and sketches were: • “America: A journey I traveled from September 1981 to October 1982” • “Sigha – Tales of my Adorable pet Siamese Seal Point” • “Honey and Hairbell Adventures of my two cats in a village in England” • “Seasons – The four Seasons of San Juan Island” • “Creatures – Creatures in and around my house” • “San Juan Island – Beaches Bays and Harbors of this island”

Killer Whales Rely on the Leadership of Grandmothers

Submitted by the Center for Whale Research

T

hrough 40 years of intense, individual-based study of Southern Resident killer whales, the Center for Whale Research noticed an interesting trend: female killer whales live many years, decades even, past their reproductive lifespan. This is a common occurrence in humans, but

is extremely rare in other animals, with resident killer whales and short finned pilot whales being the only non-human species currently known to go through menopause. Menopause has largely been an evolutionary mystery. An animal’s evolutionary fitness is determined by its ability to produce successful offspring. Why, then, would

animals continue to live past their reproductive age? One idea is the “grandmother hypothesis.” This hypothesis says that older females, even though they aren’t reproducing, provide a benefit to their offspring and grand-offspring through their knowledge of the environment. In other words, because of their life experience, grandmothers have knowledge about where to find food, what areas to avoid, and how to stay alive when times are tough. By sharing this knowledge with their offspring, grandmothers increase the survival of close relatives, which increases their evolutionary fitness. Using hours and hours of video footage collected by the Center for Whale Research, researchers at the University of Exeter and the University of York tested this hypothesis. From these videos, they determined which individuals tended to lead groups during travelling and foraging, and which individuals tended to be followers. They found that older females tended to lead group movement, and that they tended to lead their

close kin. This supports the idea that older females benefit their family through their acquired knowledge. Supporting the grandmother hypothesis further, they found that in times when there was a scarcity of Chinook salmon, their primary prey, grandmothers became even more likely to lead group movements. This demonstrates that killer whales become particularly dependent on the knowledge of older, post-reproductive females when times are hard. Together, these results suggested that the accumulation and sharing of knowledge was a key benefit of long life in female killer whales, strong support for the grandmother hypothesis. In addition, they demonstrate how important the oldest females in the population are to the survival of the Southern Residents. It’s unclear how these family groups cope with the loss of these key individuals. With the recent deaths of J2 Granny and J14 Samish, combined with consistently low Chinook salmon numbers, this population may be continuously struggling to find food and survive.
