Good Lovelies play on Lopez

By Colleen Smith Armstrong Sounder editor

The Good Lovelies feel like some of the luckiest women in the world.

They travel the world and

spend their days making music.

“Six years ago we quit our day jobs. Every year is a new adventure for us,” said Caroline Brooks, who

worked in admissions at the University of Toronto before making a major life change with her best friends Kerri Ough, a former employee of the Ontario Government and Sue Passmore, who worked in the publishing industry. “We are so happy to be doing this for a living. It’s much more work than I expected but it’s a labor of love. We’re living the dream.”

The Good Lovelies will share their “folk-pop” sound at Lopez Center on Sunday, Aug. 3, 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $18 for adults and $10 for youth and can be purchased from

When does memory loss mean trouble?

By Liz Taylor

Special to the Weekly

There are two kinds of memory loss in older people. The first is normal forgetfulness, which most of us experience starting in our 40s and 50s — like not remembering a good friend’s name or where we put the car keys. I know this one well!

The second kind is forgetfulness that’s a symptom of a brain disorder, such as Alzheimer’s disease.

How can you tell the difference? Try this quick and unscientific test: If you think you have a memory problem, it’s probably normal and benign — because you remember that you don’t remember.

But if you think your memory is fine -- when others notice a problem – you may have a more serious problem.

If someone you care about experiences serious memory loss, get a diagnosis. Don’t put your head in the sand or guess at the reason — learn the cause by seeing a physician experienced in older adult health care.

Serious memory loss in older adults has dozens of causes. The good news is that many are temporary and can be treated. One is malnutrition and dehydration, caused by not eating properly and not drinking enough water — a common problem for older people who live alone. No longer cooking much and lacking a robust appetite, they eat nothing but tea and cookies all day, or potato chips — a sure recipe for muddling our brains.

Another common cause is depression. So is the wrong mix of prescription

Liz Taylor and/or over-the-counter drugs. Even medicines that a person tolerated well at age 45 can backfire at age 80 (because our brain chemistry changes as we get older), especially when

combined with other drugs.

If a doctor tells you someone’s memory loss is due to “old age” — find another doctor. Age is not a diagnosis, and serious memory loss is not a normal part of growing old!

Then there are memory problems that are far more serious and scary.

“Dementia” is the umbrella word we use to describe memory loss that is permanent, progressive, organic (caused by a disease in the brain) and severe enough to cause dysfunction in our daily activities.

The most common cause is Alzheimer’s disease, but others are small strokes, alcoholism, and some forms of Parkinson’s, AIDS and multiple sclerosis.

The older we get, the more likely we are to get Alzheimer’s disease. About 10 percent of people in their

Doing business without advertising is like doing exercise the dark… how toinkeep some control

mid-60s have Alzheimer’s, yet almost half of people over 85 have it.

With all of these different causes, you can appreciate why getting an accurate diagnosis of memory loss is important. It allows you to correct the problem if it’s treatable — or begin to make plans for the future if it’s not.

If the diagnosis is dementia, don’t go through it alone. To learn more about dementia and how to care for people who have it, contact the Alzheimer’s Association in Seattle at 800-848-7097 or go online to www.alzwa.org.

Complexities of stranded seal pups Contributed photo

By Julie Duke, executive director, Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center

A Harbor seal pup.

We were recently asked by a concerned private citizen to reach out to the community to explain what to expect from Wolf Hollow when someone calls us to report a stranded Harbor seal pup. We are more than happy to do so and we hope this message will help everyone understand the complexities of the situation.

Harbor seals, being marine mammals, come under the authority of the National Marine Fisheries Service, and are covered by the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which makes it a federal offence to touch, harass, injure or feed any marine mammal, including Harbor seal pups. Wolf Hollow staff and volunteers have no more authority to rescue a seal pup than has any member of the public.

We are not permitted to go out and check on the pup, or bring it to the center for care.

In San Juan County the only people who can respond to a stranded seal pup are county, state or federal government officials such as rangers within their parks, and the San Juan

County Marine Mammal Stranding Network. The Stranding Network is a group of local volunteers, coordinated through the Whale Museum, which is authorized by NMFS to investigate reports of live and dead stranded marine mammals, including seal pups, within the county.

They work under strict guidelines set by NMFS. Once a seal pup has been brought to Wolf Hollow we can rehabilitate it and, when it is strong and old enough to survive on its own, release it back into the wild.

We currently have four such seal pups in our care.

If you see a seal pup on its own on the shore and it appears to be injured or weak, please don’t touch it, move it or try to get it into the water. Keep people and dogs away from the pup and call The Marine Mammal Hotline - 1 800 562 8832 and leave a message.

This hotline is monitored by the Stranding Network Coordinators who will return your call.

If you call Wolf Hollow directly, all we can do is record the details of the pup’s location and condition and your name and phone

I hope this helps to explain why we at Wolf Hollow can’t respond to calls about seal pups in the same way we do to other wildlife calls. If you see an injured hawk, or come across a thin, weak raccoon kit, you can call Wolf Hollow and our U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife rehab licenses will allow our staff members or trained volun-

teers to come out to assess the animal and the situation, decide if it needs care, and transport it to Wolf Hollow.

Unfortunately this is not the case with seal pups and though we understand the urgency of your call, there is absolutely nothing we can do until the seal pups are brought to us by the proper authorities.

Another patrol boat for sheriff on the horizon

By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

If buying a brand new, 26-foot custom-built boat for just $35,000 sounds like a good deal to you, well, you’re not alone.

The San Juan County Council gave a green-light to the Sheriff’s Department July 15 on the purchase of a new 26-footer, which, according to Sheriff Rob Nou, will most likely replace the 19-foot boat now stationed on Lopez

or the department’s 26-foot Boston Whaler.

The majority of the boat’s actual purchase price – estimated at roughly $229,000 – will be paid for by federal grants, which, Nou said, leaves the department with about $35,000 to chip in toward the purchase.

“I’d say it’s absolutely a great thing to do at minimal local expense,” he said.

Approval of the purchase comes nearly a month to the date that the sheriff’s depart-

ment acquired a new, custombuilt, 38-foot all-purpose public safety boat, equipped with three times the fire-fighting capacity of San Juan Island Fire Department’s fireboat, Confidence, for roughly $600,000, paid for by a U.S. Department of Homeland Security grant.

Nou said the final cost of the newly acquired “Sentinel” was about $96,000 less than had been allotted for by that grant and that the department will be able to use the remainder, along with a new and separate $100,000 federal “Stone Garden” grant, to cover the bulk of the department’s newest boat acquisition. Like the Sentinel, the 26-foot will be built from the

ground up by Burlingtonbased Munson Boats.

The sheriff’s department now operates and maintains a fleet of four boats, in all: Sentinel, Guardian, the 25-year-old Boston Whaler and the 19-foot boat now stationed on Lopez. Once training for the Sentinel is complete, it is expected to be home-ported in Friday Harbor and the Guardian, a 32-footer acquired in 2005 for $260,000, is expected to be transferred to Orcas Island.

Nou said the department faced a deadline of the end of July to place an order with Munson for construction of a new 26-foot boat. The federal grant that funded purchase of the Sentinel was also due to

expire at the end of August, he said.

If all goes according to plan, the boat now stationed on Lopez will likely be turned over to the county ER&R department, and then be

available for use by various county departments, such as Parks, Public Works or the Assessor. The Boston Whaler may end of sold as surplus equipment, Undersheriff Bruce Distler said.

School bond on election ballot?

Submitted by Lopez School

The Lopez School Board at their regular meeting on July 24, expressed interest in a proposal made by Superintendent Bill Evans to place a revised capital projects bond on the November 2014 ballot. The board set a meeting for the purpose of further discussion, for Thursday, July 31, at 5 p.m. in the school library. The public is invited to attend and participate.

The proposed $9.6 million capital projects bond represents an approximate 40 percent reduction from the last bond proposal. It addresses priority items such as needed renovations and upgrades to the exterior and interior of the buildings, and restoration of critical infrastructure systems that are in various stages of degradation. It would also provide for upgrades to further enhance education

and prepare the facilities to meet the requirements of modern technology. Early estimates of taxpayer costs for the bond indicate that it would cost approximately 30-35 cents per thousand dollars of assessed valuation.

“Our highest priorities,” said Evans, “are to address urgent safety and health needs by bringing the campus up to more acceptable safety, health, and security levels, as well as to look at much needed restorations and renovations of classroom and other spaces, to address education needs.”

With successful passage of this bond on the November 2014 ballot, the District will be able to begin substantive work in the summer of 2015. Any delay beyond the November ballot may well push such work out to the summer of 2016.

Soon we’re at the work site with Sara Waugh, assistant park manager at Odlin, at Shark Reef Sanctuary. At the trailhead, a “bucket brigade” forms up to move gravel 500 yards. Two women vigorously shovel the gravel off the park pick-up truck but had to ratchet down their vigor so the other nine crew members could keep up the pace. Our reward for our endeavor was lunch on the bluff overlooking the San Juan Channel. No orcas got the memo about showing up.

Nylon fencing was soon rigged up by the efficient crew, fueled by Tim’s signature treats from Holly B’s and attested by veterans of his previous projects. A Wednesday morning at San Juan Island’s Cattle Point Interpretive Center and the nearby Cattle Point trail for regular maintenance led into an afternoon with Doug McCutcheon of the San Juan County Land Bank at Westside Preserve. His task for the next few hours was 1) to call ahead for the local whales to swim by, and 2) to keep us on task to cut back Himalayan blackberries. No orcas, but an acre of berry bushes bit the dust. Doug’s treat: farm-fresh strawberries! As we reveled in views of the Olympic range in the distance, he was asked about the infamous Pig War of 1859, and about the curious site of rare prairie grasses on the acreage we were working on. Doug was eager to share how the land bank concept is spreading across the U.S., a management scheme for maintaining and protecting both wild about harmony,” laughed Brooks.

The band is known for dynamic live shows that feature both original songs and covers.

“It’s a mix of music and anecdotes of life on the road,” Brooks said. “Our goal is to make every show like you are sitting in the living room and we are just sharing stories.”

LIFE asks for your recipes The Lopez Island Farm Education program, which consists of the Elementary Garden Enrichment, Middle School Garden Elective, High School Farm Class and the Farm/ Garden to Cafeteria Program, is putting together a ‘homegrown cookbook’ to help fund our programs.

Starting an important conversation about bees

By Chom Greacen Special to the Weekly

Gardeners beware. Some “bee friendly” plants that you buy may end up harming, instead of, helping bees.

The health of honey bees, bumble bees and other pollinators have been under serious threat and their populations in decline worldwide.

Without pollinators, production of twothirds of the food crops that humans eat would also be in danger.

The fastest growing class of synthetic pesticides, neonicotinoids (or “neonics”) have been identified as a major contributing factor of bee colony collapse disorder. Based on a growing body of scientific evidence the European Commission recently issued a moratorium on the use of three neonicotinoid compounds.

The U.S. EPA has yet to take a similar action or inform the public of the potential risks, however. Consumers are thus mostly

Concerns on greenhouse rules

By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

Faced with a possible proliferation of industrialsized marijuana grows, the San Juan County Council agreed to consider placing new limits on the construction, scope, size and operation of greenhouses, an accessory use for agricultural production that can be constructed, in many instances, without a permit.

In a divided decision,

a 2-1 vote, the council instructed its staff July 15 to put the questions of siting, permitting, operation and impacts of greenhouses before the planning commission as first in a series of steps which could lead to a series of restrictions.

Council Chairman Rick Hughes, adamantly opposed to the earlier suggestion of a six-month moratorium, cautioned that restrictions targeted to appease con-

native, Molly Greacen will share her experience in mobilizing different communities to declare themselves “Bee Safe.”

“Starting in my neighborhood, the Bee Safe Neighborhood movement has now gone viral in Colorado. I am excited to visit Lopez and help contribute to the conversation to make Lopez and perhaps the San Juans “Bee Safe”.

Molly Greacen will be joined by Eric Hall, long time Lopez bee-keeper and owner of the popular “U-Pick strawberry” Crow Foot farm, in leading an informative evening discussion.

Join the Lopez Bee Safe conversation, Friday Aug. 1, 7 p.m. at Grace Episcopal Church. The event is free to the public, sponsored by Lopez Community Land Trust. For info, call Rhea Miller at 468-3723 or visit www.bee-safesjc.org.

unaware of what danger might lurk behind their plants, flowers and foods contaminated with neonics and other pesticides.

Unbeknownst to consumers, some plants, such daisies and tomatoes, marketed as “bee friendly” and sold at retail outlets including Home Depot and Lowe’s, have been found to contain neonicotinoids that sadly end up poisoning, rather than nourishing, bees.

To protect the future of pollinators and the future of our foods and human survival, it is necessary for citizens to be better informed about what is hurting our bees, and what we can do to make our gardens and our island safe for the pollinators.

Fortunately for Lopez residents and visitors, a leader of fast-growing Bee Safe Neighborhood movement is coming here as a special guest speaker. A Boulder, Colorado

cerns over marijuana could undermine cultivation of other, less controversial crops.

“If it involves a moratorium I don’t support it at all,” Hughes said of regulatory tools the council could wield. “I think we need to be really careful about the road we’re going down.”

Hughes noted San Juan County voters overwhelming supported I-502 (68 percent), the statewide initiative legalizing the cultivation and sale, and recreational use of marijuana by adults, and that the Right to Farm Act leaves little legal wiggle room to thwart production or the harvest of any thing other than contraband crops.

His colleagues were unswayed. Councilman Jamie Stephens said definitions of “permanent” or “temporary” in the building code, the yardstick of whether a building permit is required for a greenhouse, as well as other impacts, such as illumination, could be clarified to better protect farmland from long-term impacts.

“The code is too vague,” Stephens said.

Meanwhile, a total of 18 “marijuana producer” license applications from San Juan County are on file with the state Liquor Control Board, only one of which, belonging to Aqua Organics, has so far been approved. The liquor control board has 7,000 applications statewide to review for criminal, financial and residency requirements.

Lopezian JC Marean and musician Jan Garrett have known each other since grade school. They shared a love of singing at an early age and in high school they continued to bond over their passion for folk music.

JC sang and played guitar with two other classmates.

Jan played upright piano and tenor banjo, and formed a girl group who learned Kingston Trio songs and cleverly named themselves “The Queenston Quartet.”

JC calls this time “the formative years.”

In college, the two friends drifted and lost track of one another for the next 40 years. Then in 2005, JC’s old bandmate discovered

that Jan had been writing and recording with her husband and musical partner JD Martin. The old classmates decided to reach out to Jan and put on a reunion concert in their hometown of Loveland, Colo.

“We had re-ignited an unquenchable flame of thunderous musical enthusiasm,” said JC. A few years later when Jan and JD were in the Seattle area, they came to Lopez to lead two days of musical workshops with JC’s a capella singing group “Lopez Sound,” and then shared the bill in a concert at Lopez Center.

Now JD Martin and Jan Garrett are back for another show at Woodmen Hall on Thursday, Aug. 7, 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are by donation. JC

by Reba McEntire, Terri Clark, B.J. Thomas, Peter Cetera, the Oak Ridge Boys and Kathy Mattea. He has won more than 15 American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers awards for excellence in songwriting in Nashville and L.A. Garrett is a jazz singer who has recorded and toured with John Denver and Steve Martin (when he was still doing stand-up) and appeared on the Tonight

Show. Her tune “Tenderly Calling” was recorded by John Denver and the legendary bluegrass band Hot Rize, and has been featured in a PBS “Frontline” documentary.

According to the website, “their primarily piano-based music winds through pop and gospel, jazz, folk, soul and country … but it’s the rich vocal harmonies, lyrical depth, and their comfortably compelling stage presence that define their magnetic appeal. Jan and JD are

all about generosity of heart and soul, artfully wrapped up in musical excellence.”

JC describes their music as uplifting and inspirational.

“It helps me to get to see the bigger picture and realize that we are all in this together and helps me to recognize that we need to get along and respect each other,” he said.

Peter Cavanagh exhibit of Galápagos Islands The Galápagos Islands are an iconic location for biologists and wildlife enthusiasts because of their influence on Charles Darwin, who spent 36 days in the archipelago during 1836 as the naturalist aboard H.M.S. Beagle.

Much of what Darwin saw is accessible to a modern day visitor after strenuous conservation efforts to control feral species that had been introduced by generations of seafarers.

In this exhibition, Peter Cavanagh presents 18 photographs of endemic and resident species taken during a visit in Febr uar y 2014. These include the marine iguana, the Galápagos (flightless) cormorant, the giant tor toise, the blue-footed booby, the Galápagos fur seal, the magnificent frigatebird.
