A county coroner’s perspective What happens when some one dies in the islands? By Cali Bagby Interim editor
(Editor’s note: The following story contains information that may be disturbing for some readers.) When the call comes in, Randall Gaylord drops whatever he is working on – whether he is sitting down to a meal or prepping for an important court case. “When they come up, they become more urgent than anything else,” he said. “People need to be contacted … all of this has to happen right away, but it can be very disruptive.” As county coroner, Gaylord is the first person in line to deal with unexpected or violent deaths. Like all counties with a population less than 40,000, Gaylord is the coroner as well as the county prosecuting attorney. Since he was elected prosecuting attorney in 1994, dealing with death has become a part of his life on a weekly basis, revealing a part of the island that
is not visible to the general population. But facing death is not unique for a coroner. What makes Gaylord’s job peculiar is the absence of a morgue facility or a coroner vehicle. When tragedy strikes or even when someone passes from a long illness, what becomes of the body and what steps are taken to ensure that the person is laid to rest is more complicated in an island setting. The call to the coroner’s office is just one stop on a longer journey in the death process on the islands. “Every case has a puzzle to it,” said Gaylord. “There is always an extra element, a puzzle that we have to solve.” Cases that fall under the coroner’s office are defined as a death that is unexpected or of violent causes. If a person dies from natural causes, but was not seen by a doctor, the coroner could be called to investigate the passing. If a person is living in an isolated situation and no one knows of his/her health record, that case would also fall under the coroner’s department. This is when Gaylord has to start putting together the pieces of the person’s life. Sometimes it’s something as small as a prescription bottle that can solve the mystery by revealing the name of the doctor. If the death is not suspected to be violent, Gaylord gener-
When Ballard resident Michael Murray visited Orcas Island with his wife this March, they almost missed their ferry home. “I didn’t realize there was a reservation system, and there was a really small amount of drive-up space available,” said Murray, an entrepreneur with a background in energy conservation and software development. “We just got lucky.” He tried using his smartphone to book a spot, but it was too close to the sailing time and the reservation was not allowed. “I thought, this is going to hit a lot of people off-guard,” he said. Later, as he browsed the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) ferry reservations website, Murray saw room for improvement. “This is a great example of services that come from government agencies that are really lacking in some respects,” he said. Murray thought it would be “fun” to create his own user-friendly gateway
ally releases the body to the family as soon as possible. Otherwise the body is transferred offisland for further investigation. Evans Funeral Chapel in Anacortes is the official transport for the coroner’s office. Evans has an employee and car on Friday Harbor to deal with these cases. If for some reason the body cannot go directly to Evans, it will be taken to the sheriff ’s substation or fire stations on-island and then will be picked up by the funeral home. According to Gaylord, refrigeration is only required if a person is held for more than 24 hours. For that reason, he insists that funeral homes serving the islands make it a priority to pick up the deceased within 24 hours. According to Evans Funeral Director Joe Waham, hospice will often call and notify him that the person is expected to pass in several days. At that point he can make a reservation on the ferry in order to be at the family’s home close to the time of death. If for some reason they can’t get on a ferry in short notice they will catch the red eye boat. Waham said often families prefer some time for final goodbye with their loved one. “It is the most significant experience a family can go through together,” he said. See CORONER, Page 4
website designed to automate some functions and to take some of the frustration out of the reservations experience. “The expectations that people have of websites today are so incredibly high,” he explains. “Companies like Amazon and Netflix have literally tens of millions a year that go into website usability. We know for a fact that WSDOT does not have those kinds of resources, so there is this increasing gap between user experience and expectations, so that’s a gap I like to play in.” Murray’s new site, aptly named FlexFerry, is designed to soften some of the rigidity structured into the state reservations portal. Currently WSDOT makes 90 percent of all vehicle spaces on ferry sailings reservable. Thirty percent of available normal-height vehicle space on each ferry is released two months prior, another 30 percent at two weeks prior and the last 30 percent two days prior. Since there is no waiting list, ferry riders’ best chance See CHANGES, Page 5

Keeping an eye on local Orca whales W
e have had a long and interesting history with killer whales here in the San Juan Islands. In the late 1960’s, through to the mid-70’s, killer whales (orcas) were being captured in this area for display in marine parks. Historically, killer whales had been considered by many cultures to be vicious and dangerous, and to be avoided. But once we learned a little more about these animals, our attitudes were forever changed. There were many whales captured in this era, estimates range between 30 to
45 individuals. Local governments wanted to determine just how many killer whales there were in the local population. At the time, the common perception was that there were thousands. In 1976, Orca Survey was launched as a census to determine the status of the newly defined population known as the Southern Resident Killer Whales (SKRW). Several remarkable facts were

Above, J16 and her four offspring are shown as a family tree. The matriarch, J16, is at the top, with her descendants below, eldest to youngest from left to right. J16 had a calf in 2014-J50, not long after her oldest daughter also had a calf-J52. Newborn calves often have a grey and mottled looking saddle patch. Because calves stay close to their mothers for the first year or so of their life, they are often identified by their association with their mother rather than by their saddle patch. To identify older individual whales, look closely at the details of the saddle patch of each animal in the subgroup. Every orca whale has a distinct and unique saddle patch, much like a human fingerprint, unlike any other whale in the world. — Center for Whale Research
discovered in those early years, not only about the local orcas, but also about orcas worldwide. Most importantly, we discovered that killer whales could be identified individually based on a whitish-grey patch on their back called a saddle patch. The saddle patch, along with nicks and differing shapes of the dorsal fin, makes each killer whale unique, much like a human face. Once individuals were identified, it quickly became clear that there were far fewer animals than previously thought,
and they tended to travel in predictable family groupings. Center for Whale Research scientists helped pioneer this technique of individual cetacean photo-identification and it is now considered a standard method for research on free-swimming cetaceans worldwide. Individual identification also led to the discovery that there are different types of killer whales in this area that are dissimilar in diet, behavior and social structure. The “resident” type orcas are seen frequently in the San Juan Islands from May to October, they travel in stable matrilineal groups, and eat salmon, almost exclusively Chinook. The other common types are called “transients”. They are seen less frequently, have less stable family groups and eat
Eyepatches are important, too!
O
rca eyepatches are also an important marking used for identification. Eyepatches, the white patch above the eye, are unique to individuals just like saddle patches. Sometimes we can’t get a good look at the saddle patch, say when a whale spyhops, but we can use the eyepatch instead to identify the individual. This eyepatch photo is of the newest calf in J pod J52. — Center for Whale Research

marine mammals, such as seals and porpoises. From long-term observation and genetic studies it has been learned that the “residents” and “transients” do not mix and interbreed – they are very distant relatives. Worldwide, there are 10 different types or orcas, commonly referred to as eco-types. In 2005 the Southern Resident killer whales were listed as endangered in both the US and Canada. Three threats have been identified as the major factors contributing to their decline. Human disturbance, such as vessel traffic and environmental contamination are two factors. The third, and likely most devastating to the whales, is the lack of their primary prey source, Chinnok salmon. We will discuss these threats in more detail in the Whale Pages to follow.

she and Brant are married but separated, with two children. According to the report, Brant entered the home without permission and retrieved his shotgun from the bedroom. He put the firearm in his truck and returned to the house, according to the report. The officer wrote that she said she tried to close the door, but Brant pushed through it. She also said that Brant then grabbed her and shoved her and held her against the refrigerator. She sustained an injury to her elbow. The report also stated that she recalled Jay asking that she return his pistol. The report said that she remembered push-
ing Brant away and trying to call 911, telling him to leave. Brant broke a coffee cup, a phone, disabled a second phone, and threw her cell phone out of reach before leaving, she stated in the report. Later the officer reported Brant’s version of the incident, which the officer stated was the same, except he said she threw the first phone at him, which he caught and threw on the floor, breaking it. He denied that she was making any attempt to call 911. Residential burglary is a class B felony, while assault in the fourth degree is a gross misdemeanor. Brant will receive his sentence Aug. 12.

Cyclists to assist affordable Medical center sale debated housing throughout state By Anna V. Smith Journal reporter
A team of 35 young adult cyclists with Bike & Build, a national nonprofit committed to raising money and awareness for affordable housing, are biking 950 miles from Portland, Ore. to Bellingham, Wash. Bike & Build’s route through the Pacific Northwest, called Drift West, began Aug. 1. Over 3 weeks, the Drift West team will pedal an average of 60 miles per day, arriving in Bellingham on August 23. Along the way, the riders will participate in volunteer build days with 5 different affordable housing organizations in Washington to help build affordable homes for families in need. Riders will build in Aberdeen, Neah Bay, Bremerton, Seattle, and San Juan Island. Riders must fundraise at least $2,250 to support the trip. Much of that money is then donated to affordable housing organizations. The 2015 Drift West team aims to donate more than $55,000 to the cause. “We are deeply proud of our riders who are so committed to the affordable housing cause that they are willing to raise muchneeded funds and spend a large part of
their summer biking to raise awareness,” said Justin Villere, Bike & Build’s Director of Operations and Outreach. “Bike & Build provides the opportunity, but it is the riders who make the lasting impact in so many communities.” In total, roughly 300 18-to-28 year old riders will see and experience first-hand the affordable housing need in this country. In addition to volunteering with construction efforts at affordable housing sites, riders also meet with local officials and community members to discuss affordable housing issues. Riders will sleep in local churches, community centers, and schools, and will rely on the generosity of hundreds of community members for food, showers, and other necessities. Bike & Build has motivated over 2,600 young adult volunteers and contributed over $5.1 million and 185,000 volunteer hours to housing groups such as Habitat for Humanity and Rebuilding Together. For more information, visit www.bikeandbuild. org or call (267) 331-8488.
New homes for San Juan Justin Roche, executive director of Homes for Islanders, a nonprofit organization, announced Homes for Islanders has entered into a contract to purchase land on Malcom Street. Once developed there will be 20 lots for very low to low income individuals and families on San Juan Island. The constructed homes will be equivalent to those currently in construction across from the elementary
school just off Grover Street. Applicants who qualify for the loans will own the land without any resale restriction. House construction will begin in early 2016. Upon successful completion of the program, monthly loan payments will be based upon the applicant’s income level and are often less than their current monthly rent. Those who qualify and are accepted into the program will pay no money down, no
out of pocket closing costs and make no mortgage payments during construction. The only costs for qualified applicants will be to pay for their credit report. Although much of the technical work is subcontracted out, the applicant saves thousands of dollars by working on the construction of the homes in their building group. To determine your eligibility call 370-5944 or visit www. homesforilslanders.org.
The hospital board of commissioners meeting was packed with commissioner candidate hopefuls and citizens concerned over the sale of the old Inter Island Medical Center building. More than 40 people attended the July 29 meeting, five of them providing public commentary about the sale of the building. According to Pamela Hutchins, superintendent and secretary to the board, the resolution from the board to sell or lease the building was in March 20, 2013. The asking price for the building is $1.25 million. Vincent Shu, an MD with Washington Institute of Natural Sciences School of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, requested that the board set up a special public meeting to address the sale of the building, arguing that it should be kept as a community health care center instead of being sold. Shu stated that a holistic healthcare center is needed to compliment the medical attention received at Peace
Island Medical Center. He specifically mentioned chronic illness, mental illness, chemotherapy side affects and substance abuse that holistic healthcare like acupuncture and medicinal herbs could assist with. Shu cited a survey that WINS took of community members which found people in favor of a holistic healthcare center in the community, and its importance as a compliment or alternative to conventional medications and procedures, especially when they can be too costly for people. In a July 29 letter to the hospital commissioners in support of Shu, islander Susea McGearhart mentioned affordability as another issue that the center would address. “My husband and I pay taxes on four pieces of property. We are developers,” McGearhart wrote. “But we’d like to see the old Inter-Island Medical Center become a Community Health Center again, with a sliding scale so people can afford to get help when needed and not be afraid they’re going to lose their
house or rental or even decide to leave the island because health care is too expensive here.” In the meeting, executive assistant to San Juan Island Emergency Medical Services Cady Davies commented that the sale of the Inter Island Medical Center had been built in to the plans of paying off the mortgage for the new EMS building. Pamela Hutchins says that Shu has brought the issue up before, but has not yet filed the necessary proposal in order to get a special meeting. “The vision is great and we’re so glad that people are being helped by him but in order to move forward with the RCWs, we would like him to submit a plan on how he expects to accomplish the things he set forth,” Hutchins said. “They didn’t say they would or wouldn’t have a special meeting, they said it was open to discussion if he needed one and could submit an agenda for what he wanted to accomplish in his financial and business plan.”

Beginning August 10, trucks with trailers will begin hauling aggregate from Lawson’s quarry, off of Lawson Road, to the south end of Cattle Point Road. The truck haul route includes West Valley Road, Boyce Road, San Juan Valley Road, Douglas Road, Little Road and Cattle Point Road. Portions of these roads are narrow with little to no shoulders and limited sight distance. The trucks will operate Monday through Friday until the end of August. It is recommended that vehicles and bicycles consider alternate routes to get to their destination. If this is not possible, then please use extra caution traveling on these roads.

Coroner:
Continued from page 1 If Gaylord deems an autopsy necessary, the body is taken to the medical examiner in Snohomish. If there is any question that a person had a violent death, Gaylord sends for an autopsy. “Even if it looks obvious sometimes there are other injuries,” he said. “You only have one chance to look for things.” Use of drugs or alcohol are not always apparent. And post-mortem injuries aren’t always visible on the outside. For instance, Gaylord had a case where someone had choked but the lodged item wasn’t found until the autopsy.
The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com
But if a person does die of natural causes family members or friends are responsible for calling the funeral home. According to Gaylord, the hospice nurses help with this step, and if necessary, the sheriff dispatcher can help. Islanders may not be aware of the process that occurs when someone passes unless they have gone through the experience firsthand. “Lots of people are protected from the process; younger people not involved in all of the events that occur before the funeral,” Gaylord said. “There is a continuum of life and death, and how you deal with it shows character in people and brings out the best as well as the worst.”
“There is always an extra
Island difficulties element, a puzzle that we When a woman on Orcas passed away in June, several of her friends were concerned that she would be left in her home for multiple days. Undersheriff Brent Johnson, who has worked on the islands for 14 years, said if deputies know a person has died they never ignore the situation. “We move bodies quickly here,” he said. “We wouldn’t leave them there. That would not happen.”
have to solve.”
— County coroner Randall Gaylord
The island’s geography can also bring out these two sides, even making a mourning situation a logistical nightmare. Last year someone died on Crane Island and Gaylord went with the sheriff and the sheriff ’s boat to retrieve the body. Unfortunately they couldn’t get the boat to shore because of a low tide. So Gaylord returned with his own boat. Once on land, he realized he needed help to transport the body. Luckily a neighbor and his coworkers agreed to carry the deceased. Gaylord’s job is not always easy for just one man. Often Gaylord enlists the help of the sheriff ’s and fire department to use their vehicle on difficult roads or whenever extra hands are needed to move a person’s body. Once a person died in the bow of a sailboat and Gaylord enlisted the help of the fire department to get the person out. “You need manpower to move people,” he said. “So we

rence in Gaylord’s life, and he is not sure how he is able to live with that fact. “The thing I say to my wife is, ‘My day has been wrecked.’ Because there are times I have been affected by deaths,” he said. Every time Gaylord has been called to a suicide or a homicide his whole day has been hijacked into another dimension and into a darkness that he can’t avoid. “I don’t try to muscle through it,” said Gaylord, who talks about these situations with his coworkers, but his overall philosophy is not to dwell on the subject. And when talking doesn’t always do the trick you can find Gaylord running trails in the state park on Orcas, where he lives. “I like to do something that brings life back to me,” he said. For the undersheriff, who also deals with difficult calls, facing death has propelled him to a certain kind of ritual. When he arrives on the scene of a person who has recently died he says a little prayer as he crosses the threshold. If the situation is appropriate and he is not in danger of tampering with evidence, he pats the person’s head and says, “Go ahead on your journey.” “That’s how I handle death,” said Johnson. “We lose family members too. You [the officer] may have recently lost a family member and the first call you get is another senior who has just died. It reminds you of your mom and dad and you just work through it.”
What can you do? For people who are going through the process or have just lost their loved one, Gaylord said it’s important that they contact the coroner’s office. He advises that they check with their family’s doctor or hospice workers to get the death certificate to the coroner’s office, helping Gaylord do less puzzling in the aftermath of their passing. “We do our best with the resources,” Gaylord said. But they can always use help.

Changes: Continued from page 1 at nabbing a certain sailing is to lurk online at 7 a.m. on the exact release day. All over-height vehicle space is released during the initial wave, causing additional difficulties for business owners needing those spaces with less advance notice. And there is no provision made for islanders on non-urgent medical waitlists for off-island doctors who are suddenly alerted to an available appointment, but cannot take it because they can’t get a ferry reservation. WSDOT also charges a no-show fee of $10 to $20 per standard reservation if a guest does not sail as reserved. Oversize vehicle charges can be much higher. Yet there is not much grace for the inevitable life events that affect islanders’ and visitors’ schedules. The site does not allow reservation cancellations after 5 p.m. the day prior to sailing. After that time, just one schedule change is permitted - after that, “any cancellations will result in a no-show fee.” No changes can be made within three hours of a reserved scheduled sailing. And while ferry representatives have urged the community to call them directly with unavoidable difficulties like medical issues, there are many life events or business needs that may not merit a compassionate fee reversal.
Enter, FlexFerry When users request reservations, the site will automatically
put their request in a first-come, first-served queue for the next reservation that becomes available. “It intelligently keeps trying for you based on a probability of cancellations,” explains Murray. FlexFerry will also run calculations to give users information on how likely they are to get their requested sailing. The site will also offer a reservation exchange feature in the near future. If someone has an urgent need to ride on a particular ferry that is fully booked, the site will send out a text request to users who already have a reservation on the needed boat, asking if they might be enticed to give up their reservation (sometimes for monetary compensation). Murray’s system is designed to keep users from receiving a plethora of pleas: users can rate their willingness to be flexible before ever receiving a request. Those who say their schedules are set in stone will not be asked to give up their spot. One possibly controversial site feature is that FlexFerry will facilitate credit card transfers between users who wish to buy or sell their reservations to others. “If you want to give your reservation to someone else, you can do that, but if you want to sell your reservation, you can do that too,” says Murray, adding, “It’s not the same thing as scalping, which is booking a reservation with the intent to sell.” The idea is not to have everyone have to pay for something, but rather that the person needing the reservation might be willing to offer a few bucks to get that reservation.” The feature gives riders in need the freedom to swap a financial incentive for the ferry sailing they really want. Murray notes with concern that the WASHDOT site has no safeguards in place right now to prevent either excessive (and unused) reservation purchasing; or reservations scalping during peak travel times. There are currently no restrictions on the

number of reservations one user can make during a single day in one direction, or even on a single sailing. He says FlexFerry will have some commonsense restrictions built in to help discourage these practices, such as a limitation of two reservations per day per user. And to reduce human error and ensure that users reserve for the correct vehicle height, Murray has programmed into the site over 45,000 common vehicle makes and models. Murray adds that he is eager to hear from the community about features people would like to see offered on FlexFerry. He has been attending Ferry Advisory Committee meetings in order to understand the needs of the community, and says he expects the site to continue to be dynamic and continue to offer new features. Murray plans to monetize his investment in the site through advertiser support as well as small, $2-3 transaction fees on credit card transfers. There will be no charge to use the site for reservations. The beta version of FlexFerry was launched this week. To sign up as a beta user, visit flexferry.com.
Other options for islanders An online reservations swap is available now for islanders
in need: a Facebook page called Ferry Reservation Exchange started by Orcas Island business owner Justin Paulsen. Intended to help ferry riders easily swap reservations and avoid no-show fees, the site currently has 1,017 members and is free to use. Ferry Reservation Exchange does not allow the sale of reservations. The site is also a source of useful tips, rider anecdotes and key Washington State Ferries contact information.

Paulsen says his group has observed that many recent sailings noted as full by the WSDOT reservations site are not, in fact, full at the time of sailing. “Under the current reservation system, WSDOT treats a Ford Excursion (18.3 feet long) the same as a Prius (13.1 feet long),” said Paulsen. “Because of this, a fully reserved boat can vary wildly in terms of the actual deck space being consumed. Since each space is booked at 22’ or under, a boat with a large number of small vehicles can have massive amounts of unreserved space on board; based on standard vehicle sizes, this number can be as much as 30 percent of the boat.” Paulsen believes many islanders don’t try to drive on standby when the WSDOT site says the ferry is entirely booked, saying, “The net result is that in reality, many boats indicated as full are sailing with many spaces available on the deck.” He also said he knows several Orcas community members who have chosen to move off the island because of the added difficulties of getting needed medical care under the current reservations system. Paulsen and others have repeatedly urged WSDOT to reduce the number of reservable vehicle spots from 90 to 75 percent, allowing more room for drive-ups. No change is currently expected.

Editorial
Time to serve By Colleen Smith Armstrong Publisher
W
hat it means to be a juror It’s one of the most dreaded pieces of mail you can get: a jury summons. With a grimace, you think of what that little postcard means – time off work, rearranging appointments and having to take the ferry to Friday Harbor. I receive a jury summons every year or two, but the cases have been settled before I’ve had to actually make the trek to the courthouse to sit before a judge. Not this time. On a cheery Monday morning last week, I set off to be a part of the great American legal system. Along with more than 30 other islanders, we were interviewed by the prosecution and the defense on a range of topics during the “voir dire,” which refers to the process of determining your suitability to serve. Did we know the defendant? The victim? Had we been involved in an assault? A burglary? Were we or anyone we knew the victim of domestic violence? Did we own firearms? Did we think firearms should be legal? How did we feel about the local deputies? As you could have guessed, this was a criminal case and we were told the defendant was innocent until proven guilty by the jury. We had to answer the questions truthfully. And if the answer was too private to share in front of others, we could ask to meet with the judge and lawyers alone. Once you start voir dire, you must be escorted by a bailiff at all times – even when using the restroom. You also can’t use a cell phone or talk or text to anyone about the case or search the internet to answer questions. Ultimately, I was excused from serving, but the six-hour process of selecting the jury was fascinating. I realized that the concept of “a jury of your peers” is the most important aspect of the court system. Serving as a juror shouldn’t be thought of as an inconvenience. Your participation on a jury will impact a human being for the rest of his or her life. In the United States, anyone accused of a crime punishable by jail time has a constitutional right to a trial by jury. Each court randomly selects citizens’ names from lists of registered voters and drivers licenses for the jury pool. Those selected complete a questionnaire to help determine if they are qualified to serve. Those people are then randomly chosen to be summoned to appear. The point of this to make sure that a wide range of community members are represented. When a jury is needed for either a civil or a criminal trial, the group of potential jurors is taken to the courtroom where the trial will take place. The judge and the attorneys then ask questions to determine their suitability to serve on the jury. Common reasons to be excused from serving include knowing someone involved in the case or having a strong prejudice about an issue in the case. If you are chosen to be one of the 12 jurors (with one See SERVE, Page 7

Letters to the Editor
Thanks to road crews
Thank you so very much San Juan County road crew and passers by on the byways for respecting my line of blackberries.... For 11 years I have been mowing the edge and trimming and tending them all year long. I am so very happy to see people walking safely along a very busy Hummel Lake road and I do my best to hand trim the long runners. Recently I have had several tourists and such, parking in the berries and in my drive. This happens every year and usually I just ask them to move. And usually people are respectful. People have not been respectful this year. So, yesterday I decided to flag the area. It is very dangerous to park along Hummel Lake road....BUT most importantly parking anywhere on a county road is dangerous and it is not legal to park in a private drive without permission. All this blocks safe passage of walkers and bicycles. Anyway. Thank you SJC road crew for waiting to mow the berries until the season is complete! Thank you for all the work you do to keep our byways safe and beautiful! Let’s all be aware of how we walk and drive along our narrow roads and be respectful of the Land and the “other”.

Response to Meyer letter
In the Wednesday, July 29, 2015, Journal of the San Juan Islands, Herb Meyer from Friday Harbor stated his opini that the upcoming climate change workshop hosted by the National Park Service “looks more like an exercise in political ideology than Earth science.” Mr. Meyer admitted that he is not a scientist, and cited an article by Matt Ridley to support his opinion. Not having heard of Matt Ridley, I Googled, and this is what I found: www.desmogblog.com/2015/06/23/ matt-ridley-spins-lysenkoconspiracy-theories-andmore-classic-denial-science. Mr. Ridley appears not to be a scientist either. He turns out to be a professional writer of science denial. Global warming is just one of many scientific discoveries he has skillfully denied. Mr. Meyer seems to have picked up the ideology of science denial and turned it into a political ideology, if not an art. He mentioned two political ideologies that are well know for having been

favored over science. He says that the Nazis and the Soviets turned trashing opponents into an art. Those examples are well known. These days there are other ideologies that are well known for trashing science. What ideology has brought Mr. Meyer to trash global science, and mistake it for an ideology? He and Matt Ridley both need to attend the workshop on That seems to be what it is about. COLIN HERMANS San Juan Island

Corrections to story on alleged assault case By Anna V. Smith Journal Reporter
(Editor’s note: The Journal of the San Juans’ mission is to report accurate information about news stories in our community. On July 15, we ran a story entitled “Charged with assault with a deadly weapon.” Several items in the story were not factually correct. We have noted the changes in the story below.)
Orcas Island resident Peter William Sherman, 27, has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon in the second degree for an incident on July 4 in Deer Harbor, Orcas Island (Note: this article incorrectly stated the following took place in Eastsound). Sherman is awaiting a trial set for Sept. 21. Sherman allegedly pointed an Ithaca 20 gauge shotgun at three people after a verbal altercation with one of them. According to
court documents the gun was not loaded, but witnesses said they did not know that at the time. Witnesses also said Sherman told one man he was going to kill him. According to the responding officer’s report, Sherman admitted he pointed the gun at one guest (Note: this article previously incorrectly stated he admitted to pointing it at three people). He added that he was consuming alcohol, stating he had not been thinking straight. Sherman initially called the San Juan County Sheriff ’s Office to report a trespassing complaint at his home, saying he asked a guest to leave and the guest would not leave. By the time the officers arrived at the scene the guest had left the house. Sherman told the officers things were fine as long as the guest did not talk to him. The guest was with two others in the driveway and became agitated at the officers, shouting expletives
at them and refusing to identify himself. According to the report: “At one point he advanced on [us]. We each grabbed one of his arms and pinned him against the back of the minivan. We asked him to calm down.” The guest said he would, but when released he continued his aggression. “I could see there was no reasoning with [the guest]. He never gave us a chance to talk with him.” The officers decided to leave to “diffuse the situation.” According to the officer’s report, about five minutes later Sherman called dispatch to say he had a gun and had pointed it at the guest. The officers returned to the residence to find the guest walking down the driveway toward the patrol car yelling that “we were incompetent and worthless.” When asked, Sherman said to one of the officers that he was afraid the guest was
going to assault him, and ran to get the unloaded gun from his room. According to witnesses, the guest and two witnesses were standing together when Sherman pointed the unloaded gun at them and yelled at the guest, “I am going to kill you!” One of the responding officers wrote that a witness told him, “Sherman is unpredictable when he has been drinking alcohol.” The witness could not remember a time when a similar incident had occurred with Sherman. (Note: the witness was previously incorrectly quoted as saying that Sherman was unpredictable with firearms). The officer wrote that Sherman complied with the police and gave them permission to retrieve another rifle locked in his room. Assault with a deadly weapon in the second degree is a Class B felony for those without previous offenses.

Mary Kay Scott passed away peacefully at age 58 on July 25 after a short, courageous fight with cancer. During her time with us she accomplished many things including rising to the job of Engineer with the Columbia and Cowlitz Railroad.

Lt. Col. Grover (Berry) Clinton Berryman, 91, a longtime resident of Friday Harbor, Washington, passed away peacefully at home on July 10, 2015. He was born in Zavalla, Texas on October 23, 1923 to Bertie Meadows and Grover Cleveland Berryman. Relatives recalled that the first plane that many had ever seen circled the town on the day he was born. Stirred by his interest in model planes and mechanics in general, he enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps. He trained as a pilot and was assigned to fly the B24 Liberator for the 5th Army in Italy, where he flew 23 missions over Germany and occupied Europe. On one memorable occasion, his aircraft had to drop out of the group due to the loss of an engine from battle damage. Realizing that solitary bombers were sitting targets, he urgently radioed for fighter escort. He and his crew credited their survival that night to the courage and skill of the Tuskegee Airmen who unhesitatingly responded to their radio call. He was released to the Air Force Reserves after

Europe to the Far East, ending with tours of Japan and Vietnam. Lt. Colonel Berryman retired from active duty at McChord AFB in 1970. He completed additional courses at the University of Washington and went on to enjoy a second career as a woodworking and drafting instructor in Georgia for many years. A testament to the “Greatest Generation,” he could build, fix, or create almost anything with his well stocked workshop. He was tremendously skilled in woodworking, lost wax casting, copper enameling and drawing. He could capture faces and buildings in a rough sketch with a few swift strokes of his pencil, delighting countless children (and adults). He took great joy in his many grandchildren, who enjoyed listening to their Grandpap’s stories. In addition to his immense enthusiasm for flying, he was also passionate about European sports cars. He raced in road rallies in several states and drove his 1936 Type 57 Bugatti for 50 years. He was a member of the Bugatti Owner’s club and the Sports Car Club of San Juan Island. A complete audiophile, he instilled in his children a lifelong love of music with his epic reelto-reel classical and folk collection. Well travelled to far
flung, desolate regions of the world while piloting for the Air Force, he also enjoyed visiting Europe with his family and friends. The Cotswolds, Devon, Yorkshire, and Derbyshire were particular favorites in England. He will be remembered by his family as a kind, warm and gentle man. “Praising what is lost makes the remembrance dear.” (Shakespeare) Berry was preceded in death by his brother Julian Berryman.

The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com
Q&A with bluesmaster David Bromberg By Anna V. Smith Journal reporter
D
avid Bromberg has had an illustrious career in music, stretching back to his 13-year-old self in the late 50s when he first began studying guitar. Since then he’s played with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Emmylou Harris, Mississippi John Hurt, Willie Nelson.
After decades of touring and playing bluegrass, jazz, rock and roll and blues, Bromberg and his wife Nancy Josephson moved to Wilmington, Del. in 2002 to open a high-end violin sales and repair shop, where he also teaches kids music one-on-one free of charge. Since then the Grammy nominated musician has come out with two albums, the latest being Only Slightly Mad in 2013. Bromberg played a sold-out show in Friday Harbor in 2011, and is returning to Friday Harbor Aug. 8 at San Juan Community Theatre. Journal: You toured a lot in your early years during the 70s, and then you took a long break from the late 80s until the release of Try Me One More Time in 2007. What got you back into touring? Bromberg: When I moved to Wilmington, I had lunch a couple times with the mayor. He told me that there used to be live music all along the street in which I live and he said he’d like to see that again. I figured the only thing that I could do to help make that happen would be to start some jam sessions. So that’s what I did, I started a couple of jam sessions which are still going, and good musicians started showing up, some of them traveling from some distance. And so I started playing again and I decided well, why not give it a try? Journal: How has the music industry changed over your decades-long career? Bromberg: The record companies are vanishing and there are very few left. Very few people buy CDs anymore, kids don’t buy them. CDs are on their way out, people buy their music. Royalties that musicians get from downloaded music are infinitesimal. There’s very little money to be made, and you can’t support yourself solely through recordings, unless your name is Beyonce, because her sales are so enormous. Taylor Swift does well too, but only the biggest of names can make a living from selling their recordings. That’s changed quite a bit.
David Bromberg plays a variety of blues, bluegrass, folk, rock and roll and jazz, as well as an array of instruments
Journal: What sort of words of encouragement might you give to a young musician who is daunted by the state of the music industry? Bromberg: I read recently that you find your path by walking it. And I think that’s right. You can’t wait for somebody to hand you your path, you’ve got to walk it. And I recommend that if you have an ambition to go somewhere with music, I think it’s very important to be in either Los Angeles, New York or Nashville. It takes a certain amount of time to get known wherever you are.
Journal: Will your show have focus on your earlier music, later albums or a mix in between? I never plan my sets, so I have no idea what I’ll be playing and I won’t know until I’m on the stage. I go where the energy leads me, therefore every show is different. It works for me.
Journal: You played a show here in Friday Harbor in 2011. Other than that have you spent much time in Washington? Bromberg: I haven’t really spent a lot of time in Washington, usually it’s when I’m on tour. And because of that I rarely get to spend much time anywhere. I’ve spent a little bit more time in Portland because my son went to Reed College, so I would visit him there.
The David Bromberg Quintet will be playing Aug. 8 at San Juan Community Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $34 for adults, $17 for student reserved, and $5 for student RUSH at the door. Tickets available at SCJT box office or online at sjct.org. Bromberg’s appearance is made possible by underwriters including Larry Soll and Nancy Maron. The business partners for this event are San Juan Interiors and Friday Harbor Electric.

Keeping an eye on local Orca whales W
e have had a long and interesting history with killer whales here in the San Juan Islands. In the late 1960’s, through to the mid-70’s, killer whales (orcas) were being captured in this area for display in marine parks. Historically, killer whales had been considered by many cultures to be vicious and dangerous, and to be avoided. But once we learned a little more about these animals, our attitudes were forever changed. There were many whales captured in this era, estimates range between 30 to
45 individuals. Local governments wanted to determine just how many killer whales there were in the local population. At the time, the common perception was that there were thousands. In 1976, Orca Survey was launched as a census to determine the status of the newly defined population known as the Southern Resident Killer Whales (SKRW). Several remarkable facts were
discovered in those early years, not only about the local orcas, but also about orcas worldwide. Most importantly, we discovered that killer whales could be identified individually based on a whitish-grey patch on their back called a saddle patch. The saddle patch, along with nicks and differing shapes of the dorsal fin, makes each killer whale unique, much like a human face. Once individuals were identified, it quickly became clear that there were far fewer animals than previously thought,

Above, J16 and her four offspring are shown as a family tree. The matriarch, J16, is at the top, with her descendants below, eldest to youngest from left to right. J16 had a calf in 2014-J50, not long after her oldest daughter also had a calf-J52. Newborn calves often have a grey and mottled looking saddle patch. Because calves stay close to their mothers for the first year or so of their life, they are often identified by their association with their mother rather than by their saddle patch. To identify older individual whales, look closely at the details of the saddle patch of each animal in the subgroup. Every orca whale has a distinct and unique saddle patch, much like a human fingerprint, unlike any other whale in the world. — Center for Whale Research
and they tended to travel in predictable family groupings. Center for Whale Research scientists helped pioneer this technique of individual cetacean photo-identification and it is now considered a standard method for research on free-swimming cetaceans worldwide. Individual identification also led to the discovery that there are different types of killer whales in this area that are dissimilar in diet, behavior and social structure. The “resident” type orcas are seen frequently in the San Juan Islands from May to October, they travel in stable matrilineal groups, and eat salmon, almost exclusively Chinook. The other common types are called “transients”. They are seen less frequently, have less stable family groups and eat
Eyepatches are important, too!
O
rca eyepatches are also an important marking used for identification. Eyepatches, the white patch above the eye, are unique to individuals just like saddle patches. Sometimes we can’t get a good look at the saddle patch, say when a whale spyhops, but we can use the eyepatch instead to identify the individual. This eyepatch photo is of the newest calf in J pod J52. — Center for Whale Research

marine mammals, such as seals and porpoises. From long-term observation and genetic studies it has been learned that the “residents” and “transients” do not mix and interbreed – they are very distant relatives. Worldwide, there are 10 different types or orcas, commonly referred to as eco-types. In 2005 the Southern Resident killer whales were listed as endangered in both the US and Canada. Three threats have been identified as the major factors contributing to their decline. Human disturbance, such as vessel traffic and environmental contamination are two factors. The third, and likely most devastating to the whales, is the lack of their primary prey source, Chinnok salmon. We will discuss these threats in more detail in the Whale Pages to follow.
