Baby ‘Smart’-timists tops at K-Bowl clash boom? By Emily Greenberg Journal Reporter

J-pod buoyed by second newborn in two months By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

The well-seasoned hands at the Center for Whale Research pretty much had written off J-19 for another go around at motherhood. The 36-year-old female had last given birth nearly a decade ago, but it turns out she had a little surprise in store. The Center believes J-19 is the mother of new calf sighted off the west side of San Juan Island in mid-morning of Feb. 12. Center biologist and photographer David Ellifrit said the calf appeared to about a week old and seemingly healthy as it traveled north, snugly tucked between J-19, AKA Shuchi, the name of a Hindu goddess of wrath and jealousy, and its first-born, J-41, a female also known as Eclipse. “It’d been almost 10 years since her last calf,” Ellifrit said. “We had all but given up on her having another one. It’s a nice surprise.” An unexpected surprise and hint of a mini-baby boom for the Southern Resident killer whales, whose population, with the addition of two J-pod calves in less than two months, now totals 79. Ellifrit said J-50, a newborn first sighted in late December, was among the killer whales seen Feb. 12 and appears to be thriving as well. The arrival of two newSee BOOM?, Page 3

Just the right dose of sedatives proves key in helping free a Stellar sea lion entangled by a piece of plastic packing strap during a rescue effort in British Columbia’s Fanny Bay.

Island’s Weekly Editor

Rescuing a wild animal is no easy feat. Rescuing a 1,400-pound sea mammal is an entirely different feat. A few weeks ago, Joe Gaydos found himself facing a Steller sea lion entangled by a piece of plastic packing strap off Fanny Bay in British Columbia. “The biggest challenge when working with a 1,400-pound animal is obviously safety—for the people and for the animal,” said Gaydos, chief scientist and region-

Think you go to college to get more knowledge? Try high school. The 21st annual Knowledge Bowl saw students and local service groups battle it out for bragging rights, Feb. 10, at the San Juan Community Theatre. The yearly event is the biggest “fun-raiser” for the San Juan Public Schools Foundation. “It’s a fun event we do for the community,” said Foundation President Nancy Young. “The kids take it very seriously.” On the evening of the competition, volunteers rushed around setting up. Isn’t that the way it often is? Parents rushing around for their kids, who, well, don’t really seem to notice? But that wasn’t the case for the students handpicked to compete in this year’s Knowledge Bowl. This is the first year eighth-grader Alex McIntire is attending Friday Harbor Middle School. “I’m new to the island, so it’s an honor to be chosen,” Alex said. “I’m really proud to be here.” The upperclass team, made up of students

The future appears firmly grounded for the Friday Harbor store that bears the name Radio Shack even though the bankrupt electronics giant is pursuing plans to sell as many as 2,400 of its 4,100 stores to its largest shareholder. Co-owner Cecil DeMeerleer said it’s business as usual at the Friday Harbor shop despite the 94-year-old corporate retailer’s recent bankruptcy filing. “Because this is a franchise we own the store and buy stuff from Radio Shack,” DeMeerleer said. “We’re going to continue to be open.” On Feb. 5, Radio Shack, formerly known as the Tandy Corp., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after 11 consecutive quarterly losses. It earned court approval last week to borrow $10 million to keep operations afloat until bidding opens later this month on its best-performing stores. Headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, Radio Shack owns 4,297 retail outlets in the U.S., of which 1,784 are slated to be shuttered, and 274 in Mexico. Another 900 Radio Shack affiliates, most of which are located in small towns, like Friday Harbor, are independently owned and operated. DeMeeler said Radio Shack isn’t the only option for supplies to stock the shelves. In the past, for example, if the local store needed something that the headquarters couldn’t provide—he would buy the product elsewhere. Radio Shack is mostly closing corporate stores nationwide, DeMeeleer said. Franchises are also closing, but not his. If Radio Shack were to dissolve completely as a business entity, DeMeerleer said he would still operate as an electronics store in Friday Harbor under a new name, and still

The middle school team had elaborately painted their faces as tigers, the middle school mascot. All students exuded confidence. The competition was on. The Rotary Club dressed as garden gnomes, Kiwanians were clad in chef ’s gear, the Lions were dapper in tuxedos, and the Soroptomists were festive in St. Paddy’s day wear. The first winners of the evening was the eighth grade team, with a landslide victory in the costume contest. Questions were hurled at the competitors who had only 15 seconds to consult with their teammates before turning in an answer. Art history, science, language, technology and engineering were only a few of the categories participants needed to be well-versed in to stand a chance. High-fives were given when an answer was right, forlorn looks descended on some faces when one was wrong. While the scores were close between all student teams, Soroptomist International of Friday Harbor took the win

The population, which consists of three tightly knit clans, J, K and L pods, fell to a 30-plusyear low, 77 individuals, as recently as late fall. Five of its members, including an early September newborn, vanished in 2014 and are presumed dead. Prior to the birth of J-50, and now J-51, no member of the Southern resident had given birth to a calf that survived in the past two years. The mortality rate is roughly 50 percent for newborn orcas in the wild, according to the center. Granted federal protection under the Endangered Species Act in 2005, the population of Southern residents totaled 86 animals at the time. The National Marine Fisheries Service,

tasked with restoring the population, estimates that 2.3 newborns would need to survive each year for the population to recover. Lack of food, Chinook salmon is the Southern residents preferred prey, pollution and vessel disturbance are the three leading threats to the population’s survival, according to NMFS. As of late, it’s been advanced-aged females that have given birth to the newborns that have survived, as well as the two most recent calves. The calf first sighted in late December, J-50, is presumed to be the offspring of J-16, a 42-year-old female. Pregnancies are a longterm endeavor for female killer whales, which typically carry a calf for about 17 months before giving birth. While the arrival of

If one thing was clear, it’s that Friday Harbor is a town that cares about its schools. In two decades of existence, the San Juan Public Schools Foundation has raised $1 million dollars through fundraising in the community, hence the evening’s theme of “Thanks a Million,” and has dispersed that money to different school programs. The Foundation’s main fundraising event is the Phone-A-Thon. In 2014 the Foundation raised $75,588, which was presented in check-form to Superintendent Rick Thomspon during the K-Bowl half time. Funds raised have gone to support new and exciting curriculum for all grades, including the Food for Thought program, marine science research at the UW Friday Harbor Labs, and a robotics programs, to name only a few. One might think to pat the Foundation’s board of volunteers on the back, but it’s the community that deserves thanks. “Excellence in education doesn’t just happen,” said Foundation Treasurer Jim Skoog. “It’s funding like this that makes it possible.”

Reflections: Our town between two wars By Robin Jacobson Special to the Jouranl

ld newspapers are such interesting places. It’s where we find snapshots of times past, one snippet of news at a time. What was it like to live in Friday Harbor in the years between World War I and World War II? Archived issues of the Journal have many of the answers about our town. Friday Harbor’s population has grown to 522 residents in 1920 when postWorld War I islanders discover new fashion styles. It is a more carefree time than during war years, prompting adventuresome young women to get their hair bobbed at the barber shop and hem their skirts higher. Judging by the number of auto mishaps and near misses reported in the paper, it seems a return to horse drawn travel may be safer.

In 1925, Friday Harbor Bake Shop makes a 150 pound wedding cake with 720 eggs for a quadruple wedding. People still talk about that cake today. Back in the era of the big cake, everyone reads the Journal’s “Friday Harbor In a Nutshell” column to know who has gone to the mainland on business and which community dance is when. An entry for this week 90 years ago notes that “Mr. and Mrs. John Douglas, Jr. are the happy parents of a ten pound daughter on Sunday morning, February 15.” This is Jackie, Florence Guard’s daughter and the newest member of a large island family, headed by all four of her grandparents living on the island. Today, Jackie is one of the few who remain to share firsthand stories from this time. National Prohibition ends in 1933 and the newspaper reports that Friday Harbor runs out of beer on the first day. This could not have helped the Great Depression mood. Times are tough on the island, but Jackie Douglas remembers old clothes re-sewn for new uses and farm families who share their harvest with town families. Some of her favorite memories are about campouts with a pack of 10-year-olds on Brown Island, still in sight of parents in town. Friday Harbor says farewell to mud and paves its streets

Jackie says island friends are the ones you keep forever. In 1939, the Library counts 5,267 books on its shelves as Friday Harbor’s population slowly increases to about 650 people. Then World War II changes everyone’s lives. Jackie Douglas would grow up to marry Bruce Hubbard in Seattle and become a mother of four and grandmother to five.

and Oceans have done this numerous times in British Columbia and animals have been re-sighted weeks to months after the disentanglement and have learned that the trauma heals quickly once the packing strap is removed and the sea lions gain weight and go back to looking like robust healthy animals in no time.” The technique required a team of boat drivers, biologists, veterinarians and technicians from Vancouver Aquarium, Canada’s Fisheries and Oceans and Seattle Aquarium.

broken off and they were just seeing a scar. Efforts are being made to find out what materials are most often entangling sea lions, and to work with companies that make plastic materials strong enough to hold packed boxes but also weaken once in the water. “We’ve done a lot of things to harm the ocean, which is a shame because it does so much for us that we ought to be taking better care of it,” Gaydos said. He added that saving one sea lion from slow strangulation is about making one wrong right, but sadly not all animals suffering this fate will be rescued. “Hopefully, this will remind people that trashing the ocean has consequences,” he said. “Maybe next time they go to throw something off the boat they will reconsider and dispose of it properly.

Ferry Home Companion

Long may she wave

ongratulations, town council, on reversing your decision to deny the designed decor on the American Legion wall. We were shocked when the Legion, under the leadership of Post Commander Shannon Plummer, was forced to defend its right to use its choice of design and identification of their historic gathering place, using local artist Michael Scott’s impressionistic “Proud Wave” as decor. Howard Schonberger Since I’ve been in the Legion Columnist for most of the years between WWII and Korea, I was dismayed at the squabble but waiting for what the Post could do to repeal the council’s decision. I liked the message of Scott’s piece. It has “The Proud Wave” in action. I could envision the pleasure of sailors and ferry passengers coming from other states and nations as they reached this choice port. I liked Shannon Plummer’s promise that the weather would improve the red paint planned to be used. (He’s a painter. He knows.) Whether it’s a sign or a location identification— doesn’t matter—it’s going to be a feather in the Legion’s cap. American Legion Post 163 is one of the state’s largest roll calls. It’s open seven days a week, welcoming all veterans and their friends and families. They have indoor and outdoor facilities for parties, games, etc., serve meals and snacks. Provide funerals for veterans. Provide scholarships for best citizenship and scholarship entries. Back sports teams. Put flowers and flags on graves on Memorial Day. And of course the Legion hosts troops, bagpipes, honor guards for occasions like Roy Matsumoto’s memorials, and Christmas ships from Canada. Yes, and now they’ll see that very visible sight: that “our flag is still there!”... if it’s displayed as planned. — Go With the F.L.O.W. (Ferry/Flag) Lovers Of Washington

When freedom of choice goes too far A call to arms, action in high-stakes battle against anti-vaccine ignorance By Dr. Mark Fishaut Special to the Journal

s the 2014 measles outbreak wound down, I quoted Albert Camus’ “The Plague”: “And, indeed, as he listened to the cries of joy rising from the town, Rieux remembered that such joy is always imperiled. He knew what those jubilant crowds did not know but could have learned from books: that the plague bacillus never dies or disappears for good; it can lie dormant for years and years in furniture and linen chests; it bides its time in bedrooms, cellars, trunks, and bookshelves; and perhaps the day would come when, for the bane and the enlightening of men, it would rouse up its rats again and send them forth to die in a happy city.” We are on the verge of something more ominous. The tipping point for measles again becoming endemic in North America is approaching, requiring expanded efforts against anti-vaccine ignorance. If we are not prepared to sacrifice time and money—lost clientele and friends—who are we? Gandhi used the Sanskrit word Satyagraha, meaning “clinging to truth,” in reference to his campaigns in South Africa and India. Satyagraha is the inner strength or “soul force” required for non-violent acts. He never defined non-violence as passive resistance because he saw nothing passive about it, believing that a dedicated adherence to nonviolent resistance by taking action to represent truth and working for a just cause would reach the heart of the oppressor. Satyagraha is a positive, spiritually based form Contributed photo of resistance that starts in Mark Fishaut, MD the heart of the resister and inevitably produces creative action. It means both the principle of “clinging to truth,” which is necessary for nonviolence work, and direct action as in Gandhi’s campaigns as well as Dr. King’s in this country. Education and negotiation have had limited success. Who knows if other methods will have value when dealing with “true believers” and their opportunistic political supporters? Conscience demands we try. As I have done, all physicians could not sign exemption forms. We can consider a national day of office closure (except for true emergencies) to reflect on our values. Extra-medical consultation for travel can be denied in the absence of basic immunizations. Schools can deny participation and attendance at extra-curricular activities for those inadequately immunized. Businesses of anti-immunizers can be boycotted and we must encourage our pro-immunizing families to do the same, as engaging enlightened par-

Islanders: No man is an island, Entire of itself, Every man is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less. As well as if a promontory were. As well as if a manor of thy friend’s Or of thine own were: Any man’s death diminishes me, Because I am involved in mankind, And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee. — John Donne (1674)

ents expands and fully legitimizes the struggle. I hope it will not come to this: the ultimate act is to refuse any care to un-immunized children.

Welcome to ‘Almost’: bordering on love

By Emily Greenberg Journal Reporter

elcome to Almost, Maine. A town that was never incorporated, so it’s just ‘Almost.’ A place where people almost get what they want. A place that’s almost exactly like Friday Harbor, minus its inland location. “Almost, Maine,” a romantic comedy directed by Carol Hooper, opens at San Juan Community Theatre Feb. 20, 7:30 p.m., and is sure to leave almost everyone in the audience smiling. With a background directing musicals in the California Bay Area, this is Hooper’s debut as a director at SJCT—but she hasn’t found too many directorial differences when it comes to straight-plays versus musicals. “Characters are characters and stories are stories,” Hooper said. “The audience is going to recognize people. And I don’t mean the actors.” There’s the awkwardness of first loves and the pain of love lost. There’s instances of saying those fateful words too soon and not saying them soon enough. There’s death, love at first sight, that moment you find out the one that got away has found someone else, and a cute waitress sure to cure any damaged heart. You’ll visit the Moose Paddy where drinks are free if you’re sad, meet a tourist on a strange mission, and a repair man who is tactlessly romantic. And that’s just in the first act. The intimate seating in the Gubelman Theatre coincides perfectly with the most delicate of subjects ever to be broached; love. The production is a series on nine plays within a play, with 17 actors playing 20 characters. The characters from the different scenes never interact on stage, but they know each other’s personal business from living in such a small town. ‘Almost’ is so far north it’s practically in Canada, and is known for its spectacular views of the Aurora Borealis. Much like lunacy when it comes to full moons—when the Northern Lights are at their peak in the sky, the characters are pushed to the edge of their emotions. “I think people will really identify with a lot of the relationship issues,” said Deb Langhans, an actress in the play. “It’s surprising how something so absurd at times can also suggest depth.” The play is a comedy, but explores the complex emotions associated with romantic relationships. Even if the specific situations don’t speak to audience member’s lives, the theme is universal.

Local actors in the upcoming production “Almost, Maine,” a romantic comedy,

The cast has developed relationships of its own in the weeks of rehearsal. One week prior to opening night and it’s a mix of nerves. Cast members offer their skills in makeup, hair, and even yoga as a pre-show warm up to their fellow actors. “The people that you work with make it a rich experience,” said Scott Mapstead, another actor in the show. On the technological side of things, nailing down the look of the Northern Lights has been the biggest challenge, Hooper said. But the audience can expect to see the lights dance across the stage, in step with the actors portraying the dance of life. — “Almost, Maine” will run Feb. 20-21 at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 22, 2 p.m. Feb. 26-28, 7:30 p.m. A sneak preview showing is offered Feb. 19, 7:30 p.m. for a discounted price. For full listing and admission prices visit www.sjctheatre.org.

Contra-calling duo to put its ‘Stomp’ on town Maine-based, high-energy folk duo Sassafras Stomp performs alongside Chicago dance-caller Rachel Shapiro Wallace in the “Third Saturday Contra Dance,” beginning at 7 p.m., Feb. 21, at the San Juan Grange Hall. Contra dance is an easy social dance accompanied by driving fiddle music, in which a dancecaller teaches a series of simple moves (do-si-do, swing your partner, etc) and assembles them into looping patterns. The result is a lightly aerobic, laughter-inducing, human kaleidoscope with deep roots in rural American culture. No partner is needed, beginners and kids are welcome and encouraged to come to the workshop, which typically precedes the start of the dance. San Juan boasts a long-running, monthly

dance series featuring an abundance of musical and dance-calling talent. The Grange Hall hosts contra dances the third Saturday of every month,

as well as every Monday night. Sassafras Stomp is comprised of fiddler Johanna Davis and guitarist/foot percussionist Adam Nordell. The duo met Rachel Shapiro Wallace in 2012 at the Catapult! Contradance Festival in Atlanta, a showcase for “up and coming” bands and callers. The festival opened touring opportunities for Wallace, Nordell and Davis, who have since performed at festivals, dances and concerts across the U.S. and Canada. The island performance kicks off a two week, West Coast tour, with stops in Seattle, Eugene, and the Bay Area.

Bunny needs money

Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor and island resident Suzanne Bryner are raising money for Bunny—a little, female rescue dog at that has benign tumors on her ears. The tumors are beginning to impact her respiratory system. Bryner stumbled upon the frightened stray dog now known as Bunny while traveling in California. At the time, Bryner had no choice but to leave Bunny at a local high-kill pound. With the help of the organization “Getting Em’ Home Transport,” and many volunteers, Bunny made her way up north and was delivered to Everett where Bryner picked her up and brought her to the island. Bunny is now at the shelter in Friday Harbor, awaiting surgery on her ears. Bryner and the animal shelter are able to pay for part of Bunny’s medical expenses, but not all. An account has been set up with Go Fund Me to help raise funds. To donate to Bunny’s surgery visit, www.gofundme. com/kmdbck. FREE PICK UP AND DELIVERY IN TOWN PLEASE CALL 317-7138 OR 317-5781

A few facts about local propane

VANDERYACHT

• We may not carry the local “San Juan” name but we are the local company, not the national chain based in Pennsylvania.

www. vanderyachtpropane.com

Locally owned and operated The VanderYacht family has over 60 years experience in the propane industry NO CHARGE for tank switch outs l Complimentary gas safety check Competitive prices l Emergency service WE SERVICE WHAT WE SELL

• Biggest is not always best in the propane industry. Small in this industry can usually provide lower costs to the customer. • We consistently provide a lower price per gallon. We don’t have stockholders all over the country that need to be paid. Our regulatory and compliance fees are less than half the cost of our competitor. • When the owners shop in the same communities as their customers, they are more accountable; there is no “corporate management” to blame.
