Shaw hit by postal blues

Larsen nets big win in primary

Islanders rally to fight pending cuts in Shaw postal service By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

The U.S. Postal Service expects to save more than $500,000,000 a year by shutting down or cutting hours at about 13,000 post offices across the nation, mostly in rural locations. Like on Shaw Island, where residents are not happy to find out they’re part of the plan. And, perhaps even less so to realize their input on options about service-reductions, requested by the Postal Service, proved to be a meaningless exercise. Less than 24 hours after a pair of postal service employees attended a community meeting July 31 on Shaw, presumably to discuss results of the servicereduction survey, a notice appeared on a post office wall informing islanders that daily office hours would be reduced from eight to four. “All they really had to say or could tell us was ‘We don’t know,’ and that really ticked people off,” Shaw Islanders, Inc. President Diana Wisen said of the two Postal emissaries sent to the meeting. “We knew they weren’t ‘decision-makers’ and sensed that a decision had already been made. See BLUES, Page 4

When push came to shove, it wasn’t even close. Incumbent Rick Larsen, D-Everett, grabbed a commanding lead in Washington state’s District 2 congressional primary, collecting 56.5 percent of 79,118 ballots cast in the three-way race. Independent candidate Mike Lapointe, challenging the six-term congressman for the second-consecutive election, came in a distant third, garnering 11 percent of votes cast, 8,946. See PRIMARY, Page 5

Born in St. Louis, raised in Little Rock, Andrew Miller has seen a good deal of what the world has to offer, after 10-plus years of military service and three deployments over seas in Afghanistan, and most of the U.S.A., too. With its mountains, evergreens and proximity to the Pacific Ocean, it doesn’t get much better than Washington state, says Miller, assigned to mortuary affairs at Joint Base Fort Lewis-McChord. Still, Miller wasn’t about to follow the lead of his comrades and plunge into the waters near Deception Pass for a kayak or paddle-board outing. He found a shady spot instead where he could leisurely watch his fellow Wounded Warrior compatriots, and that was just fine. “Uh, well, me and the water don’t quite get along,” the 27-year-old father of three admits. “But it was fun sitting out in the shade watching other people jump in.” Miller, who, like many military veterans, strug-

gles with post-traumatic stress disorder, was among nearly 50 participants who took part in three days of programs and activities on Whidbey and San Juan islands, Aug. 7-9, as part of a “Soldier Ride” sponsored by the Wounded Warrior Project. They were accompanied by a half-dozen WWP caregivers. The group barbecued and engaged in water sports (or watched others do it) at Deception Pass, rode 17 miles in and around Oak Harbor, many outfitted with specialized bicycle equipment, and covered about the same amount of ground Saturday on San See COMRADERY, Page 3

The 44th annual Shaw Island Classic Sail race started at “High Noon” Saturday, Aug. 9, with 43 boats in all. Skippers and crews competed in three classes, multi-hull (Catamaran and trimaran), PHRF (eligible to use spinnakers in addition to main and jib), and cruising (main and jib only, no spinnakers allowed). The fleet headed east toward Turn Point in light winds, making slow progress. However once they reached Harney Channel, between Orcas and Shaw islands, the winds picked up and some spirited racing commenced, only to be met again with the fickle winds which bedeviled many of the racers this year. The winds returned to Friday Harbor just before the end of the race, providing some interesting, electrifying finishes First overall, and clear winner of the multihull division was the catamaran “Rum Line”, skippered by Ben Colwell. Colwell and crew finished the race in four hours, 27 minutes, a full hour and 20 minutes before any other competitors. Six additional boats crossed the finish line before the mandated 6 p.m. race ending time, all within the last 10 minutes of allowed time, making for some tight battles for class honors at the finish line.

After nearly a year as ‘interim’ boss, Swalla accepts job as Labs director The “interim” label no longer applies. After 12 months at the helm of the University of Washington Friday Harbor Laboratories as “interim” director, professor Billie Swalla has been named director of the world-renowned marine research facility. An active researcher and member of the Labs community since 1999, Swalla agreed to serve as full-time director of the Labs for the next five years, according to a Labs press release. Her appointment, effectively immediately, is subject to approval of the U of W Board of Regents. Swalla’s appointment as director followed a search process that included wide consultation with the Labs community. “I am personally thrilled to have the opportunity to continue to work with Billie to support and enhance the infrastructure of the Labs while simultaneously creating and implementing a shared vision for FHL as a vibrant and impactful marine field station that is considered to be a crown jewel by both the UW and international research communities,” said Lisa J. Graumlich, Prentice and Virginia Bloedel Professor and Dean of the U of W College of the Environment. Swalla has worked at the Labs for the past 15 years, teaching comparative invertebrate embryology, evolution and development of animals, as well as several undergraduate apprenticeships. Her resume includes 30 years of conducting research and

People were angry, and I do mean angry.” The Shaw Island post office is not alone. Postal Service spokesman Ernie Swanson said daily hours at the Deer Harbor and Waldron offices have already been reduced to six and that the operating hours of Orcas Island’s Olga office is due to be reduced to four. In Washington state, Swanson said roughly 200 offices are on the postal service’s “POST plan” list and about 80 percent of those already have taken a cut in hours. “Generally it is the smaller, rural post offices that are part of the plan,” he said. “Most people would prefer no change, but usually, given the options, reduced hours is what’s preferred.” The postal service has lost “huge quantities” of revenue over the last few years, Swanson said, in large part due to the combination of growing reliance on digital communication and steady decline in of first-class mail, the longtime postal service “bread and butter.” Whether the cut in hours at Shaw’s post office is a “done deal” remains to be seen. Residents have sought and enlisted the help of U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Bellingham, to advocate on their behalf. Wisen noted that reducing office hours to six a day was not among the four options included on the service-reduction survey circulated on Shaw. In a Aug. 7 letter to Post Master General Patrick Donaho, Larsen called on the Postal Service to classify the Shaw

Island post office as a “Part-Time Post Office,” a designation under which the office would be allowed to operate six hours a day. “Part-Time Post Offices are the standard for offices in similarly situated remote island communities,” Larsen said in the letter. “In official correspondence with my staff with respect to the post office located on Waldron Island, in October of 2012, your representative explained that under the Post Plan, the USPS operations team has determined that offices ‘that are on islands and have limited transportation services to the mainland…will have their retail hours adjusted to being open six hours per day.’.” It’s much more than a matter of convenience, Wisen said about the hours of operation of the island post office. Many of residents, the elderly in particular, receive medication through the mail, some of which is refrigerated and timely pickup is paramount. Moreover, she said a reduction to four hours would mean that the postal service would attempt to replace the Shaw postmaster with a contract-employee that would be paid $11 an hour. “Who would they get to do that?” she said. “People here make $20 an hour making beds or cleaning toilets.” Moreover, she said that many post offices where hours have been reduced are in areas where people can drive to another post office, like on Orcas. That’s not an option on Shaw. “We don’t have another post office and we don’t have a way to get to one, other than paying $26 for a ferry ticket.” long for bonds to unite, said WWP spokesperson Leslie Coleman. “Almost instantly they feel like they’re connecting with ‘their people,’ if you will,” Coleman said. “It’s like instant brotherhood and sisterhood sets in.” After freshening up at the Friday Harbor Suites, the wounded warriors were treated to a Mexican buffet at San Juan Golf & Country Club, and many seized upon the invitation to play a couple holes of golf, or more. Cal Wilcox, one of about eight women veterans on the Soldier Ride, , proved more of a spectator on the golf course, but as equally enthusiastic behind the wheel of a golf cart as she is about the benefits of the Wounded Warrior Project. “A lot of people don’t feel comfortable about going out to get help,” said Wilcox, a former military medic who did two tours in Iraq. “Here there are people who understand what they’re going through and what they’re talking about. I call it a ‘safe haven’.”

Primary: Continued from page 1 If trends hold, Larsen, seeking a seventh-consecutive term in the U.S. House of Representatives, will square off in November against Republican Party challenger B.J. Guillot. The top two voter-getters advance to the Nov. 4 general election. Guillot gathered 32 percent of ballots cast, a total of 24,449 votes, in Tuesday’s early election results. “Growing up in Arlington, I learned the values of community, service and commitment. These same values guide my work today,” Larsen said in a postelection press release. “That’s why I’m fighting to raise the federal minimum wage, combat income inequality, create jobs in our community and fix our broken immigration system.” On the eve of the primary, Lapointe drew the endorsement of the San Juan Rick Larsen Democratic Party, an abrupt change in course for the group and its long-standing support for the District 2 incumbent. The party cited Larsen’s failure to “adequately” address the negative impacts of the proposed coal export at Cherry Point and expansion of navy jet-noise from the Whidbey Island-based fleet of Growlers for breaking ranks with the longtime party favorite. To party Chairman David Dehlendorf the primary results come as no surprise. Larsen has strong support from the party on the mainland and, as an incumbent, has the allimportant advantage of “name familiarity,” Dehlendorf said. “Mike’s not real well known, particularly on the main-

Residents of Friday Harbor should be proud of the excellent Peace Island Medical Center facility on your island. My husband, Bruce, and I recently visited friends Jerry and Dede McCormick, who reside in Friday Harbor. Unfortunately, Bruce bumped his leg while on the ferry to San Juan Island. That evening, July 10, the bump had developed into a large hematoma and medical assistance was required. Bruce was seen by a doctor who evaluated the injured site, treated the area, and took the time to answer all our questions. The doctor told us to return if the swelling had not subsided before we left the island to return to Ohio. On Saturday, July 12, we made another trip to the busy medical facility and were fortunate to be treated by Dr. Appleton, who performed minor surgery to relieve pressure.

What a friendly and efficient staff we encountered at the Peace Island Medical Center. The residents of Friday Harbor are fortunate to have such a fine facility. BETTY CRITTENDEN Reminderville, Ohio

Wistful reminder of wit that was

Last week’s letter to the editor, “Flummoxed by furor over felines,”(July 30, pg. 6) reminded me of why I miss the former “Sheriff ’s Log”—it provided us a chance to appreciate Scott Rasmussen’s wit and sense of humor. We enjoyed the lead ins of, “A cracked taillight lens and a familiar face led to the arrest of….”; or the report of a man bit by a dog at the Love Dog Cafe; the female shoplifters referred to as “the sisterhood of the disappearing pants”; and our all-time favorite, the break in where the invader, “ransacked the refrigerator, pillaged the pantry and sacked the spice drawer.” Thanks, Scott.

Affordable homes deserve support

I was delighted to read recently about the challenge grant offered to the Community Home Trust in order to begin the next phase of affordable homes

The Journal of the San Juan Islands welcomes comment on issues of local interest. Letters to the editor must be no more than 350 words in length and must be signed by the writer. Include address and telephone number for verification purposes. Anonymous letters will not be published. Guest columns are proposed by the newspaper

on San Juan Island. With two neighborhoods already finished, Salal and Sun Rise (phase I), and thriving, beginning the next phase of new homes seems timely and important. I talked to people who live in Home Trust houses at the recent Fiesta San Juan, at Brickworks. They love their homes and the sense of community they feel with their neighbors. In my opinion this is the kind of community effort we should all be supporting. The people who live in the Home Trust developments have made a commitment to the community by buying a house, working and choosing to raise their families here or to continue their lives in our midst. Given the high cost of living for all of us who live in the islands, creating a few homes which are “forever affordable” seems a worthwhile effort to support. I intend to send in a donation, knowing that it will be part of that matching gift. I hope that many others do, too. SARAH CROSBY Friday Harbor

Journal cartoon shows disrespect

I was disturbed to view the cartoon on the Opinion page of the August 6 Journal depicting the “San Juan Dems” as....how can I describe it?... an avenging donkey on the warpath. This cartoon crosses a line of good taste and demonstrates a partisanship that is inappropriate for a community newspaper. I believe the Journal should not allow a cartoonist in its employ to pro-

mote extreme partisanship, demonizing a political party that has widespread support in the community it serves. Indeed “San Juan Dems” are the majority party on San Juan Island if the results of state and national elections are any indication. Instead, I encourage the Journal to reexamine its editorial policies so that it encourages respect among differing points of view. We may disagree on issues in this community from time to time, but we should agree to treat each other with more respect than is shown in this cartoon. An apology to “San Juan Dems” is also needed.

As I See It

It’s here C

Integrity of Co-op tarnished by a trail of apparent untruths, deception

arnival rides. Elephants ears. Corn dogs. Rabbit races. And this year, the return of the Egg Roll booth. Yep, it’s time for the San Juan County Fair. Its four-day run starts Wednesday. The fair offers an opportunity to discover and admire the creativity, passion, hobbies and the enterprise of our neighbors. It’s a time to play together, compete against one another, cheer each other on, and celebrate the achievements of friends, neighbors and of islanders that we have yet to meet. The fair grounds us in a way like no other single occasion to the place that we all call home, like one great big family reunion. It’s a pretty good bargain, too, just $25 for a season pass (adults), $18 for seniors, $15 for kids, and youth exhibitors get a free pass. For adults, it’s like a pinch over $5.50 a day. On “Kids Day”, children can climb aboard as many amusement rides as they can stomach, from noon to 5 p.m., Thursday and Friday, for $22. Islanders are not alone in their appreciation of the fair. Of the 20,000 people, or so, who attended the 2013 Fair, about 10 percent live outside the county. Check out our Fair Guide, a 20-page special pull-out section with schedules, activities, hours, features, profiles and more. So, we’ll see you at the Fair! — For more on the 2014 Fair, visit www.sjcfair.org

Sure, OPALCO cares, but about what? By Richard Fadem Special to the Journal

A

lex MacLeod of Shaw Island has had three letters published by island news outlets over the past couple of months. They detail the OPALCO Board’s chicanery and apparent dishonesty. Every OPALCO member should read them in sequence. (Links to letters online below). They first astonish, then prompt indignation and finally disgust. The third (“Tight grip on truth at OPALCO Board,” July 30, pg. 7) seems to prove what he had conjectured in the first two. They expose an apparent betrayal of trust and a pattern of deceit, moral and financial, that should compel OPALCO’s members, we owners, to demand the resignations of Chris Thomerson, the Board chair during much of the period, and Randy Cornelius, the general manager, as well as any other Board members found to be complicit. Thomerson and Cornelius seemed to have lied to members in public meetings about OPALCO’s lawyers’ intimidation of a resigning board member Richard Fadem and a member of the County Council. Thomerson and Cornelius did so apparently to conceal a greater lie, one to all of us: that of their going ahead with a financially risky broadband project under the cover of “electric-system infrastructure.” Thomerson or Cornelius even went so far, it appears, as to lie to a new board member about the contents of bills from the law firm and why MacLeod’s request to see the bills should be denied. The bills, MacLeod later learned from a board member who reviewed them at his request, corroborates his earlier conjecture that OPALCO’s lawyers had not acted independently, as Thomerson, Cornelius and other board members

Is the OPALCO board concealing the true cost of its broadband initiative behind a set of accounting smoke and mirrors?

claimed, but on orders from Thomerson as chair, and perhaps also Cornelius. MacLeod’s letters are meticulously researched and responsible (he is the retired managing editor of The Seattle Times, and, full disclosure, I know him). His motivation is disinterested and that of any good newspaperman: to serve the public interest by exposing those who betray the public trust. “OPALCO CARES” is the new motto, but cares about what? Mostly, it seems, about concealment. Thomerson and the board evidently violated OPALCO’s bylaws by doing much of their business in executive and “working sessions,” both of which are secret, neither of which the bylaws provide for. As for its regular meetings, the board has so streamlined its minutes that they cease to inform. Sadly, OPALCO is most transparent now only in the board’s determination to shroud what it is doing. Led by Thomerson, the board undertook a multi-million dollar broadband project. An insufficient number of the membership endorsed the project, most deciding not to pay an additional $15/month, much less commit to a $90-a-month broadband-connection charge. Undeterred, the board, it appears, has persevered in its project, now camouflaging it under expenditures for the maintenance and improvement of its core electrical service. See WHAT?, Page 9

Every child deserves a good pair of shoes By Tawny Martel Galligan Special to the Journal

T

he realtors and staff of Windermere San Juan Island are at it again, helping to make a positive difference in our island community. On Augu. 1, in conjunction with Windermere Corporate, the “Kicks for Kids” Sneaker Drive was put into action. Last Friday, with the first donation from the Martin Hulse Family of San Juan Island, the Windermere SJI crew began a collection of children’s shoes, sizes 1-9, for island families. The event continues until the “Last Round-Up Saturday,” Aug. 16, at the San Juan County Fair. All shoes collected through the Windermere San Juan Island office will be delivered on Aug. 18 to the San Juan Island Family Resource Center and distributed to island families in need, seeing to a new pair of shoes for every child on the first day of school.

Contributed art / Windermere

Windermere’s “Kicks for Kids” sneaker drive, Aug. 1-16, provides new or gently used sneakers, sizes 1-9, to families in need.

“Studies show that when kids feel good about their appearance, it improves both their self-esteem and their performance in school,” said OB Jacobi, president of Windermere Real Estate. “We think every child deserves to start the school year on the right foot, so with the public’s help, we’re determined to make that happen for as many kids as possible.” To participate in the Kicks for Kids

event, please drop off new or gently used children’s shoes, sizes 1-9, to a collection box; found in our office on Spring Street, or at the San Juan County Fair from Aug. 13-16. Look for the Kicks for Kids logo and collection box. For information on how to donate sneakers or funds for sneakers contact Gary Franklin at the Windermere office, 360-378-3600, our event page on Facebook.

‘New home, new hope,’ fast start APS Wags to Riches generates $135K in pledges for new animal shelter

What?:

Continued from page 7 The board’s conduct is fiscally questionable and ethically wrong, and may violate the directors’ fiduciary responsibilities. The board has denied us information regarding OPALCO’s directions, undertakings, and financial risks, for which we, the owner-members, are liable. Many of us moved to San Juan County so as to live in a small community whose dealings were transparent, responsive to the residents, and largely just. Now we learn that OPALCO, whose only job is to ensure reliable electricity at a fair cost, exhibits an arrogance, clandestine manipulation, and deceit we expect to find at an Enron, a Countrywide, the too-big-to-fail banks and General Motors. What amazes one about OPALCO is how the clumsy, ham-fisted behavior appears disproportionate to the stakes. Are we missing

something? But the behavior is not yet endemic, and while we can still assign personal culpability, we can call for Thomerson's resignation and the resignations of those on the board and in management who acted on the principle that their ends justify their shameless means. — Editor’s note: Professor emeritus of Scripps College,

— Submitted by FH Animal Protection Society

The Animal Protection Society – Friday Harbor is very pleased to announce the kickoff of a capital campaign to raise funds for a new animal shelter facility on San Juan Island. The project, “New Home – New Hope” was formally announced to the community at last Sunday’s ‘Wags to Riches’ event, and the initial response has been extremely positive. The project started as a vision of the executive director, Leslie Byron, and the current board president Jaime Ellsworth. Two years ago, the dream became a necessity when APS was made aware that the current property lease with the Port of Friday Harbor would more than likely be shortened from 20 years to five years. With the deteriorating conditions of the current shelter building and the future loss of the current property lease it was decided by the APS board to start searching for a new location and build a new facility. The project was able to move forward with a very generous donation to APS by Robert and Rebecca Pohlad in honor of their German Shepherd ‘Luca’. The donation was substantial enough to purchase property for the new building. After an extensive search for suitable property, a 5-acre parcel was purchased very near the existing shelter, at 994 Cattle Point Rd. As the project progressed, the new shelter development committee contacted Mark Travers, a renowned architect from Seattle. Mark was the designer for the NOAH Shelter on I-5, near Stanwood. In his generosity, Mark has offered APS his personal time, knowledge, design services and consultations at no expense to the organization. Mark and his team have designed a beautiful, efficient, low stress, low impact facility that will be a welcome addition to the San Juan Island community. The campaign kickoff was announced at the annual Wags to Riches event on Sunday, Aug 3. The response was overwhelming.

Excessive exposure to The Journal has been linked to increased community engagement and overall personal awesomeness.

During the ‘raise the paddle’ portion of the live auction, it was announced by Bob and Lissa McDowell that their intention was to offer a ‘substantial matching of funds’ to get everyone at the event involved in the campaign kickoff. The tone was set, and the crowd rallied; with the help of professional auctioneer Jay Fiske of NW Benefit Auctions and McDowell match, approximately $135,000 was pledged towards the New Home – New Hope Capital Campaign. It was a fantastic start to a serious campaign to build the new facility. APS-FH will be partnering with the Community Foundation to raise the funds needed for this campaign. The project can only happen with the help and generosity of our community. It is our hope to make the new shelter a reality within the next two years.

I bought a boat from the late Dick Barnes, at Snug Harbor, so we could fill our crab nets, fish and do stuff with the Yacht Club and the Power Squadron. As a former 4H member on the farm in Eastern Shore of Maryland, I felt obliged to help on their Fair activities (bidding for duck eggs against the Roche Harbor kitchen, in particular). There soon became a Rotary Club and Kiwanis Club to pitch in on community affairs, scholarships and the like. Former county commissioner Darcie Nielsen spoke out against the male service clubs “Mens Only” rules. I went to-bat for Darcie, and won. The Friday Harbor Lions invited her to join. In return, I applied for membership in the Soroptomists and was a member until our publisher (a woman) chose to be a representative.

Singer-songwriter, Jan Zurcher.

inger-songwriter Jan Zurcher has no real boundaries when it comes to inspiration for a new song. And, it didn’t take long for the muse to strike after Zurcher and her husband, Jim, moved from Seattle to their newly adopted home of San Juan Island. That was five years ago, and only about three weeks after the ill-fated fishing voyage of the venerable purse seiner known as the Anna J. While Captain Charles Chevalier and crew survived the ship’s downing, Chevalier almost miraculously so, their 20-minute ordeal off the shore of San Juan Island’s South Beach offered all the intensity, emotion and drama of a captivating sea-faring song. An award winner at that. The Zurchers, who read about the account of the Capt. Chevalier and crew in the Sept. 2, 2009, edition of the Journal, won first prize in the John Kotta Memorial Songwriting Contest of the 2014 Port Gamble Maritime Music Festival. The couple performed the song, “The Wreck of the Anna J,” composed in traditional sea-faring ballad form, with Jan on guitar and vocals, and Jim on bass, this past weekend. It’s the second John Kotta Memorial award-winner for Zurcher, born and raised in Winnepeg, Manitoba (“…about as far away from the sea as you can get.”) whose song “Tall Ships,” inspired by boats in the Port of Friday Harbor, earned second place just a year ago. — Scott Rasmussen

30-year birthday bash to feature photo display

Guess who has a 30th anniversary to celebrate? Bingo. It’s none other than San Juan Island Park and Recreation District, better known as, actually, known almost exclusively as, Island Rec. And, your mug can be front-and-center in the celebration’s spotlight, or that of your children’s, or perhaps your pooch, as part of Island Rec’s upcoming anniversary party, Sept. 6, at Sunken Park. The party takes place in conjunction with that week’s episode of Movies in the Park. That Friday’s featured presentation is “Ghostbusters,” starring… well, you know who stars in it, “Who ya’ gonna’ call?” Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray and that other guy. The film gets under way at dusk, and the popcorn is free (Other guy is Harold Ramis, did you really think we didn’t know, eh?). Island Rec is collecting submitted photos from over the last 30 years of Island Recsponsored programs, activities, classes, dances, trips, tours

Notice to Contractors Washington State Law (RCW 18.27.100) requires that all advertisements for construction related services include the contractor’s current department of Labor and Industries registration number in the advertisement. Failure to obtain a certificate of registration from L&I or show the registration number in all advertising will result in a fine up to $5000 against the unregistered contractor. For more information, call Labor and Industries Specialty Compliance Services Division at 1-800-647-0982 or check L&Is internet site at www.lni.wa.gov

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

Keeping an eye on local Orca whales W

hales of any species can be individually recognized by their natural shapes and color patterns using a technique called “photoidentification” that was pioneered in the 1960’s and 70’s by biologists at San Juan Island’s Center for Whale Research. The local “killer whales”, now affectionately known as Orca, are among the most distinctively appearing whales in the world, and many individuals can be easily recognized by naturalists and admirers of wildlife. To assist with this recognition, a photo-identification catalogue of every individual orca whale common to the Pacific Northwest has been maintained by biologists at the Center since 1976, and it is updated every year. As a result of this cataloguing some very remarkable facts have been uncovered about the local Orca whales and about their species worldwide. For

example, their natural lifespan is long (comparable to human lifespan to eighty or more years) and they travel in family groups (known as “pods”) swimming 75 miles per day on average. Three of these family groups, designated J,K, and L pods, are frequently seen travelling back and forth around the San Juan Islands from May to October; and, they have been termed “resident”. Other family groups and individuals are typically less frequently seen around the San Juan Islands; and, they have been termed “transient”. From long-term observation and genetic studies it has been learned that the “residents” and “transients” do not mix and interbreed – they are very, very distant relatives, somewhat analogous to Humans and Neanderthals but both living at the same time, and in

bove, J16 and her Offspring are shown as a family tree. The matriarch, J16, is at the top, with her dependents below, eldest to youngest. J26, and adult male, is her oldest offspring and J42, a female, is her youngest. New born 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 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

the same general area. In fact, when we extend these individual and genetic studies we find that there are probably ten or more distantly related large branches of the Orca family tree worldwide that do not naturally mix or interbreed, and they have been on this planet much longer than we Humans have. Scientists are just now trying to determine whether this arrangement constitutes a complex of many species, and why. Nonetheless, we have a very precious “resident” population here in the San Juans, and they have been recently affirmed as Endangered under the US Endangered Species Act and Canada’s Species at Risk Act. The questions are out there, from deep pondering about the roles that species play in the web of life on Earth, to what time will the whales be seen at Lime Kiln whale-watch park. We do not yet have all of the answers, but if we keep our eye on the welfare of our precious local Orca whales we may just have a chance to find out how “our” world works, and maybe we will be smart enough to keep it working. In future editions of these Whale Pages, we will provide additional information about our famous Orca whales.

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 most recent calf in L pod L119. — Center for Whale Research
