The Hamlet: a vibrant Lopez adult community By Lorna Reese Special to the Islands’ Weekly
“Too much house; too much yard.� Florence Wagner, 76, is talking about why she’s moving from her home of 23 years on Whiskey Hill to a Hamlet cottage. “I’m preparing for the day I can’t take care of myself or a house on a hill. I want to live on flat ground without stairs, and The Hamlet is much more practical for me.� Built in the heart of the village by the non-profit Lopez Housing Options, The Hamlet was established expressly so Lopezians could stay on the island as they aged. The Hamlet cottages offer independent living for those who choose to simplify their lives; The Hamlet House provides care for those needing some assistance with activities of daily life (ADL). “Several seniors had left Lopez when their homes and properties became too much to take care of
or they needed some assistance,� says Rip Van Camp, LOHO chair. “The Hamlet has 14 one- or two-bedroom cottages for those who want a convenient, maintenance-free life, while Hamlet House is a six-bedroom adult family home. It’s a lively adult community with a fabulous Gathering Place for various kinds of social interaction by residents.� Gale McCallum, 87, agrees. After 25 years in her own Lopez home, McCallum was the first resident to move in when The Hamlet opened in 2008. “My husband had died and it seemed sensible at my age to make decisions for my future. I wanted to locate myself for convenience, and this is perfect. Everything I need is in the village so I can walk everywhere, which is good for me,� she says. “Living here is easy. Maintenance is taken care of so there are no upkeep chores for me to do. The cottages are well insulated, too, so I don’t hear neighbors
or outside noises.� Some of The Hamlet’s onebedroom cottages are classified affordable using San Juan County’s requirements for moderate income. Anyone age 55 or older and qualified to live independently is eligible to live in the cottages. There is no longer an entrance deposit and residents lease rather than buy cottages. At the moment, Hamlet House is full and there are seven cottage residents. Mollie Fromm, age 92, has been coming to Lopez since 1981. “For the last ten years, I spent summers on my houseboat here and winters in Miami Beach,� she says. “The heat in Florida was too limiting, so this year I moved full time into a cottage at The Hamlet.“ The Hamlet celebrated three years of operations in July. “During that time we served 13 residents in the cottages and 19 in Hamlet

Coastal Cutthroat — What we don’t know can hurt us By Cali Bagby This is part 2 of a two-part series about the coastal cutthroat on the San Juan Islands

San Juan County is developing a plan for all the salmon, with an emphasis on chinook, but Barbara Rosenkotter said the county is still identifying what fish are in which streams. “What’s really important is diversity of the species,� said Rosenkotter, San Juan County’s coordinator for salmon recovery. The county’s goal, is not to constrain landowners or enforce laws, but to show them how to protect the species on their land. For example, if someone has a stream on their property they can keep the natural
vegetation as a buffer zone, which helps promote other native species. “At this moment there is no specific ordinance for cutthroat,� Rosenkotter said about San Juan’s upcoming Critical Area Ordinance update. “The update will be protecting certain wetlands, buffer zones included, which are accessible to cutthroat and other salmon.� Mary Lou White, a biologist for the Wild Fish Conservancy, has been working at San Juan Island’s Garrison Bay watershed for almost four years. She has been creating plans to increase water flows with

bends in the channels, help a small lake on the property drain slower and create woody debris areas for fish to hide. She also studies what type of vegetation should be in the watershed, and what non-native fish should be removed. White researched historical documents to find out what the watershed used to look like. She found that in the 1800s the valley was bulldozed to make room for farm land, at least seven ponds were created and that at one time there was even a population of beaver. White said since those develop-
ments, the watershed, which drains from a forested wetland to an agricultural valley used primarily for livestock, hasn’t changed over the last 100 years.
A conservation plan Although the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has no plan to list cutthroat as threatened or endangered, it intends to develop a coastal cutthroat conservation plan. “Hopefully we can come up with a plan to prevent listing the fish as endangered species,� said Marci Koski, a supervisory fish biologist for recovery assessment and planning.

Rotary encourages students to be curious about our language and have fun reading. The Rotary Club of San Juan Island is also very proud of a Friday Harbor Graduate, Lindsey Youngquist, who is presently studying in Nepal. She is a recipient of a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship, where she is working on her pathway to becoming a doctor with interests in global health.

How fossil fuel is embedded in our food By Chom Sangarasri Greacen and Faith Van De Putte
What did you eat for breakfast? We think of sun, rain and soil being the basis of our food chain but the typical American diet is essentially dripping with oil. According to University of Michigan’s Center for Sustainable Agriculture, an average of seven calories of fossil fuel is burned for every calorie of food we eat in the U.S. This means growing, processing, and delivering the food consumed by a family of four requires the equivalent of 930 gallons of gasoline per year. How does all that fossil fuel get embedded in our food? It starts on the average farm with machinery and inputs. A study by David Pimentel at Cornell University reveals 30% of fossil-fuel expenditure on conventional (non-organic) farms is found in chemical fertilizer.
An organic farm may have less of a fossil-fuel footprint, unless they rely on manure or other inputs trucked in from long distances. Many do. Some foods take far more energy, grain-fed beef for instance, which requires thirty-five calories for every calorie of steak and burger produced. In general, plant calories take less energy than animal calories. There is often a long journey between farm and fork. Oil fuels that journey. The National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service estimated that processed food now travels an average of 1,300 miles. Some, like imported frozen shrimp and tuna, travel more than 8,000 miles to get here. Cleaning, cooking, refrigerating, canning and packaging food before it arrives to the store all take energy and add up to a larger footprint. The good news is that an energy efficient diet dovetails

It is a win- win situation! What can you do? First, eat low on the food
chain. Seasonal, regional fruits and vegetables take less fossil fuel energy to produce. Grass-fed and “free range� critters have one third the
embedded energy as their feedlot brethren. Second, eat less processed food. In general, the more packaging and processing
— the more energy required and the fewer remaining nutrients. Thirdly, eat local. We have so many choices on Lopez for delicious, fresh island food. The options for local protein range from wild seafood and venison to quality eggs and meat from our backyard or local farms. We have community supported agriculture (CSA) programs, farm stands, roadside egg boxes and generous neighbors. We also make choices at the grocery store. Before purchasing, look to see- where did the food come from. It matters. Lastly, grow your own food. Gardening tends to use less fossil fuels than largescale farming. The hard work of growing a garden is an investment with great return; fresh, healthy, low-impact food. It is not only good for you but good for the planet! Energy conservation is not just about light bulbs, it is about lifestyle choices and who knew it could be both healthy and yummy. Now, what is for breakfast?

The Lobos won their region and took their 9 and 0 record to District Playoffs on Tuesday, Nov. 8 to face powerhouse Neah Bay. The game was played under the lights on the turf field at Marysville Pilchuck before a large, vocal crowd. The game started well, with quarterback Keldon Jardine completing long passes to Tak Peralta and Chase Schober, and Tommy Kramer gaining yards on the ground. Lopez jumped out quickly to a 20-8 lead in the first quarter. But after that, the Red Devils from Neah Bay dominated on both offense and defense and Lopez fell steadily behind. The final score was 60 - 20. This was the last game for seniors Jardine, Peralta, Kramer, Matthew Haber, and Cly Angelo, all of whom must be proud of their contributions to one of the most successful seasons in the Lopez football tradition.

A new chapter in life Phyllis Potter says goodbye to Islehaven Books By Faith Van De Putte Special to the Islands’ Weekly
When Phyllis Potter bought the bookstore in 1987 she thought that it would be an expression of her love of literature and a good story, her education as a librarian, or even her connection to the Lopez community but didn’t know that it would ultimately, go to the dogs. The first official bookstore dog was Sarah, a very sweet Doberman Pincher. She was followed by Pippa and a lineage 16 Borzoi, Russian Wolf Hounds, who “worked� the
store, greeting customers, accepting treats and keeping Phyllis company. Locals and visitors alike would often stop in just to say hello to the tall willowy hounds, who have become as much of an institution as Phyllis. Over the last 24 years Islehaven Books and Borzoi has moved twice into bigger spaces accommodating its growing collection of titles and pups. Initially, Phyllis relied on her humanities background and knowledge of the publishing world to make decisions about which books to carry. She describes how over
there is one real threat — humans. “The bottom line is that there are at least two genetically distinct, isolated cutthroat stocks in the islands,� said Barsh, director of Kwiaht, the Lopez-based Center for the Historical Ecology of the Salish Sea. “Although both are imminently threatened with extinction due chiefly to human factors: modifications of stream courses, water withdrawals and impoundments, introduction of nonnative fish species.� TheWildFishConservancy currently needs funding for more research, to track not only cutthroat, but other species vital to the same habitat.
CUTTHROAT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
The plan will focus on recovery and risk assessment by asking land owners about cutthroat populations on their property. “Cutthroat are really interesting because they occur in so many different environments,� said Koski. “All these different environments have different threats, from-over fishing to habitat degradation.� For Russel Barsh, who has collected over 100 hours of film of cutthroats on the islands in the last six years,
Jamie Glasgow, director of the Wild Fish Conservancy, says the decline of cutthroat could indicate the potential decline of other fish like chinook salmon. Glasgow has been mapping streams and fish habitats and collecting data on the San Juan Islands since 2004. Over the years he has discovered what he calls “logical� and “illogical� ways at looking at the cutthroat. The logical reasons are easy to define — diversity of the species, preserving a natural ecosystem, and recreational fishing. The reasons he is particularly drawn to the cutthroat are more difficult for him to
the years her choice of titles was influenced more and more by recommendations from, and conversations with fellow islanders. The shelves paint a picture of the intellectual interests of the island. She points to the rack of “best sellers� by the door and says, “That is the legitimacy shelf.� She describes how tourists want to see that the best sellers are carried but actually make purchases from the shelves further in: the “Personal Picks� of either fiction or nonfiction, the extensive children’s books or mysteries. Phyllis describes her collection as being “pre-filtered� for quality in the face of the over-
explain. “These are beautiful, charismatic animals that would be a tragedy to lose,� said Glasgow. “Just like it’d be a tragedy to lose the Sistine Chapel, even though it is hard to define the actual value of the chapel to society because we don’t eat it, it doesn’t protect us, we could build a replica at Disneyland, et cetera.� For Glasgow, however you look at the cutthroat, the best way to deal with a mysterious fish is with precautionary steps. “If you’re not sure, you better be careful,� Glasgow said. “If we don’t have answers, we need to get answers.�
whelming number of books published. All good plots have a twist and now Phyllis is following her pack and leaving the life of shopkeeper for new territory. This fall she sold Islehaven to Karen Barenger and Linda Brower. Both the store, with its new owners and Phyllis with her new freedom, look forward to a new chapter. Phyllis says, “Lopez is home. I am not going anywhere... except off to dog shows.� The dogs have some prizes to win, some walks to take and might even lead Phyllis into new unexplored directions.
THE HAMLET CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
House,� says Van Camp. “Three Hamlet House residents moved from the cottages and a fourth used it to convalesce after an operation. This integrated community concept with independent living in the cottages and assisted 24/7 supervised care at Hamlet House has proven a valuable service, support capability and resource for Lopez residents and their families.� Wagner had polio as a child and now has post-polio
syndrome. “The time may come when I can’t drive,� she notes, “and I’ll need to get everywhere by walking – even with a walker. That will be easier here in the cottage, but I’m glad to know I can transition to Hamlet House if I ever need to recover from something there.� “I love living here,� says McCallum. “This is a vibrant community and I feel completely at home.� More information is available at lopezhamlet.com.

“We need to find sound funding solutions, support a robust recycling program, and establish a professional management system to run this program,� said Adams about the solid waste plan. When asked why Lopezians should vote for him he answered: “I have leadership experiences that will provide the best opportunity for success at implementing the solid waste plan. I will be a reasonable and objective voice serving the needs of our community.�
