Three houses bound for settlement in the Phase 2 of Sun Rise neighborhood were barged in on high tide late Wednesday, Aug. 19, through Jackson Beach as a crowd of curious spectators watched from the beach.

The houses were brought over by San Juan Community Home Trust, and are the first of 12 total houses to be barged over. The three houses were from the early 1900s, and were moved off of high-value properties in Victoria, B.C. and will be sold to low

and moderate-income homebuyers as permanently affordable homes.

According to Executive Director Nancy DeVaux, the Home Trust has been fundraising and planning the event for the last year.

“We heard that OPAL Community Land Trust on Orcas had been moving houses, so we started look-ing into it,” DeVaux said. “And we decided that not

Barged across blue seas Pharmacy 101: Facts to know

By Anna V. SmithJournal reporter

A small sign taped to the counter at the Friday Harbor Drug Store explains to customers that “If you have any questions regarding the price of your prescriptions, please don’t hesitate to ask.” If a customer is looking for a way to potentially pay less for their prescriptions, they should pay heed to the sign.

Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance companies each have their own restrictions for pay-ment, in addition to each per-son’s individualized plan that affects how much a medication costs. According to a Consumer Reports article, some pharmacies can be bound by contract to first try and bill the claim through a patient’s insurance company unless the customer asks for a different option, as is the case at Friday Harbor Drug, as well as Ray’s General Store and Pharmacy on Orcas Island.

Asking questionsIn some cases there are cheap-

er alternatives to the price of a

patient’s medication. According to Cristina DuVall, pharmacy man-ager at Friday Harbor Drug, phar-macists cannot offer these cheaper options unless a patient inquires, because limitations put on them by contracts and laws. Their intent, said DuVall, is to keep pharmacists by being influenced by drug companies and choosing a medication for a patient that might not be the right fit.

“So there has to be a line then to show that we’re not swayed by any one company in any way, or have any kickbacks for any particular company,” DuVall said. “And that’s the best way to do it, is to be objective and it has to come from the patient’s request. We’re not permitted to offer any incentives or price breaks for patients unless they request them.”

But DuVall said that they auto-matically run a geriatric discount for patients ages 65 and over that takes 10 percent off their bill. Sometimes, though DuVall says rarely, paying cash or credit for medication can be cheaper than a

Return of the wasps | What you can do

Summer on the islands is marked by farmers’ markets, sunset walks on the beach and barbe-cues at the park. On the flip side these warmer months also signify the return of wasps.

According to Russel Barsh, director of the Lopez-based nonprofit laboratory Kwiaht, there are at least seven species of wasps in the Northwest, including native and introduced European and Western yellow jackets, bald-faced hornets and paper wasps. The Journal wants to know: are there more wasps out and about this summer?

WeatherBarsh said that the weather in spring is one

way to determine an abundance of yellow jack-ets or wasps. A cool wet spring decreases wasp populations because it reduces the survival of the previous year’s queens, which must spend winter in a tree cavity, under a log, or in a

wood-pile until the weather is warm enough for them to emerge, hunt and start laying eggs, he said. Since we had a mild spring we should be seeing a small increase in the population.

Barsh added that the recent heat wave has caused plants to flower early, which in turn attracted insects earlier in the season.

“While some insect species just finished their year early and have gone dormant, some

social insects remained active and are raising larger families as the summer lingers on,” said Barsh. “The later-emerging wasps and preda-tory flies and beetles are not doing super well because there’s not much left around to eat, but they are relatively numerous and diverse for now, surviving more on flower nectar than prey, and in my experience, behaving rather gently.”

The colonyAccording to “Yellow Jackets and Paper

Wasps” by WSU entomologists Arthur L. Antonelli and Roger Akre, in the late summer-early fall, worker yellow jacket populations and their colonies are at their peak. Then the colo-ny begins to decline, and their deserted nests

San Juan County Sheriff’s Log

Journal staff reportPhone and internet services were down for San Juan

County residents Aug. 19 after an oversized trailer going west on Stevenson Road in Anacortes clipped low over-hanging cables, according to San Juan Island resident Marc Forlenza who visited the site and spoke with responding officers. The outage lasted for a full day and took out Rock Island as well as T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint and CenturyLink.

OPALCO acquired Rock Island earlier this year in February. Rock Island is a re-seller of CenturyLink ser-vices.

According to OPALCO’s Suzanne Olson, this outage fared much better than the 2013 outage caused by a car collision. After that outage Rock Island compiled a list of essential groups to contact immediately if an outage were to occur again.

Internet and phone services were also down intermit-tently on Monday, Aug. 24, early reports pointed to repair-men accidentally hitting cables when digging to make repairs on the previously damaged cables.

San Juan County will award grants and loans totaling up to $20,000 in 2015 for projects that help make housing available to local residents of very low income.

The Low Income Housing Fund, created by the state legislature in 2002, is funded by a surcharge on documents recorded by the county auditor’s office. Funds may be used for construction, operation or maintenance of projects that serve families or indi-viduals earning less than 50 percent of the area’s median income.

For a family of four, 50

percent of median income in San Juan County is $33,100.

Funding is available to non-profits and develop-ers, either as grants or loans for eligible projects in San Juan County. Funding is not available for individual home purchases, or home remodel or rehabilitation.

The county allocates 5 percent of its low-income housing funds directly to the Town of Friday Harbor and 5 percent into a reserve account as well. The funds are administered by the county Housing Bank Commission.

The deadline to apply for

funding is Sept. 30. Please visit the County’s website at: SanJuanCo.com or contact Melanie Rollins, affordable housing coordinator, for forms or more info; phone 370-7526 or email [email protected]

persons copay on their insurance. One discount that can be available for patients depending on the drug are manufacturer coupons that come direct-ly from a drug company’s website that offer discounts.

These are for brand-name drugs that don’t have any cheaper generic forms, but sometimes can’t work in conjunction with Medicare

and Medicaid insurance plans.

“Unfortunately,” DuVall said. “Those are the people who would really benefit from them.”

“We can’t automatically apply those,” added Noah Atchley, lead technician at Friday Harbor Drug. “They have to ask for more infor-mation on why its expen-sive.”

Patients looking for manufacturer coupons should never give out their phone number or personal

information, since those coupons are scams to get money from the pharmacy or the patient. Instead, only take coupons directly from the drug companies web-site, or when in doubt, con-tact the company or local pharmacist.

Donut holeUnbeknownst to some,

Medicare has four different parts, A, B, C and D. Only Medicare Part D covers drugs and medication. One unexpected trip-up that patients with Medicare Part D may find when trying to figure out their insurance is the donut hole.

The donut hole is a cov-erage gap that can occur when a person reaches a certain limit to coverage. That amount changes year to year. When the person is “in” the donut hole, they have to pay directly until they meet their deductible

and get “out” of the donut hole and are covered by Medicare again.

“A lot of people don’t know about this, or when that’s going to happen, because they don’t know how much they’ve spent so far,” DuVall said. “Or they have an unforeseen expense that puts them into the donut hole and they haven’t been there before, or they started a new plan and don’t know the details of that plan.”

Atchley said in his expe-rience it can range from $2,000 to $4,000 in out-of-pocket expenses before they are covered again, and that it varies depending on a person’s plan, how much they pay monthly and who is on the plan. According to DuVall, patients may pay a higher premium to lower their copays and extend out when the donut hole will occur.

“This type of plan is best for someone who has maintenance medication and can plan how much to pay,” DuVall said. “But those who qualify for Medicare Part D are often 65 or older or disabled in some way, they don’t often know what the future will hold. They may have a heart attack this year and you can’t plan for that. It’s really unfortunately a disservice to our elderly population.”

Run for your money

Paying cash or credit for generic medication can be cheaper than copay depend-ing on a person’s insurance plan, though DuVall point-ed out that those “in” the donut hole should continue to bill towards their insur-ance, or else it will take lon-ger to get “out” of the donut hole. The stipulations for paying cash are more rigid in Medicaid plans.

“There is a law stat-ing that they cannot pay cash unless all the appro-priate channels have been gone through and denied,” Atchley said. “There is a form that is very specific that details every drug that they are paying for out-of-pocket so the state knows that we’re doing everything we can to make the state pay for it, and only when

all of those options have been exhausted and it’s still not covered, that’s when the patient can pay cash for it.”

DuVall said that patients can always ask if the phar-macists can run the order as cash or run the order through insurance to see which one is cheaper, although that takes time that people often don’t have.

Insurance plans can shift, drug prices can change from day to day and cov-erage can be thoroughly confusing for patients who don’t understand their plan or formulary for what drugs are covered. And, since doctor’s don’t keep tabs on the price of drugs, they can often prescribe expensive brand names, or a drug that isn’t yet covered by a per-son’s formulary. When that happens, pharmacists can either get a generic or get a prior authorization to get the drug covered, which takes time.

“I don’t know how to delicately put this, but a lot of time when people come up to the counter and they don’t see anybody in line, they just assume that it’s just count, pour and stick,” DuVall said. “There is a lot of behind-the-scenes think-ing that goes with every pre-scription, and so it’s not just a matter of just grabbing a bottle off the shelf and put-ting a label on it.”

After arriving at Jackson Beach, transported by the Nickel Brothers moving company, the houses were moved over the LaFarge Open Space to Grover Street.

“So we’re saving the resources and we’re able to create a little pocket neigh-borhood that has a lot of character. Rather than a subdivision that all looks

similar, they’ll each have their own unique qualities,” DeVaux said.

On Saturday, Aug. 22 a group of 35 cyclists of Bike and Build arrived to assist the Home Trust in home repairs, fence build-ing and painting on their Salal Neighborhood and Sun Rise Neighborhood.

and paper wasps scavenge for meat and sweets and can become pests, especially at picnics and campgrounds.”

Wasps also eat large quantities of garden pests including aphids, beetle lar-vae and more, Barsh said, but they also eat pollinators including honeybees, and flower flies, as well as other useful insect-controllers such as spiders.

ControlTo control populations

of wasps, he recommends removing paper wasp nests, characterized by having open combs with cells. Nests that are close to doors, windows and patios should be the highest prior-

ity. Always remove nests at night when the insects are home and dormant and as soon as they appear in the early summer, he added.

Antonelli and Akre rec-ommend if you are allergic to wasp stings, do not risk removing the nest yourself.

“Some people react strongly to the stings of bees and wasps,” they wrote. “Symptoms can include swelling, nausea, dizziness, difficulty with breathing, and shock. Symptoms may be immediate or delayed for several hours.”

As for the popular yel-low cone traps you can pur-chase, Barsh said they kill lots of wasps, but the colo-nies will likely survive.

“Avoid chemicals –

knockdown sprays use extremely toxic and persis-tent chemicals that kill all insects including bees,” he said.

Yellow jackets and paper wasps do not reuse their nests the following year, although paper wasps may construct a new nest adja-cent to an old one, accord-ing to Antonelli and Akre. If you choose to leave the wasps alone, the nest will usually disintegrate over the winter months.

According to Barsh most yellow jackets are also “nat-urally controlled” by other wasps, mites, and bacterial, viral and fungal infections.

“By far the best advice is: don’t get near a nest, don’t look or smell like a flower,”

he said. “And if you want to dine al fresco during the summer months, leave a few traps out around the patio or garden area you’d like to use,” he said.

SAN JUAN COUNTY PARKS & FAIR STAFF

Troubled by medical center

Like many islanders, I am greatly troubled by the limitations in Peace Island Medical Center’s services that stem directly from its Catholic heritage. In the upcoming election, we have an opportunity to put three individuals on the Public Hospital Board – Barbara Sharp, Bill Williams and Monica Harrington – who have the integrity to work assertively with Peace Island to enact changes that are necessary to make it more responsive to the health care needs of ALL islanders.

There are many good and important things Peace Island is doing for our community. But several important health care issues are not being adequately addressed.

Women’s reproductive services – Peace Island says that its physicians will dis-pense birth control only “when medically indicated.” What about when a woman or man just doesn’t want to have a child? And how unreasonable is it for them to say that they don’t offer “maternity services,” when except for routine labor and delivery services, of course they do!

Death with dignity

– Washington state has a law (which islanders overwhelmingly voted to approve) giving individu-als the right to take their own lives when they have less than six months to live and have met other requirements of the law. Peace Island certainly has the legal right to “opt out” of participating in the law’s provisions, but it is simply being obstructionist when it refuses to allow its phy-sicians to refer patients to Compassion and Choices, the well-respected organi-zation that has all the nec-essary information and resources.

Peace Island’s commu-nications about its ser-vice restrictions have been muddy and inconsistent. There appear to be major discrepancies between what the official policies are and the extent to which these policies are actually carried out by the physicians.

I urge you to vote for Bill, Barbara, and Monica – all of whom seek communi-cation, collaboration and pragmatic reasoning, NOT litigation. I am confident that they are committed to bringing about the changes in policy and practice that are critical to the long-term success of Peace Island in our community.

Grateful for community

(Editor’s note: The San Juan County Sheriff ’s Office confirmed there was a break in at Tia’s Tacos and that an arrest has been made. The Journal will continue to report on this story as it unfolds.)

As many of you know, Tia’s Tacos was burglarized recently. I’ll be honest, my heart broke when I walked through the door and found the restaurant in shambles and the earnings from the San Juan County Fair gone. By the end of the day my

faith was renewed. Words cannot express my affec-tion for this community. My partner Pete Dawson and I feel so fortunate to live on such a loving island. Within hours people began to rally to help us get back on our feet. From the hugs, to the flowers, to the offer of electronics and financial assistance, love came pour-ing through our door. I will never be able to thank each of you individually, so please know I am thanking you now. Because of you, all is well.

Vote for LedfordShrouded in the cloak

of providing a full range of medical services to women, Monica Harrington is run-ning on a platform of trying to force Peace Health into performing elective abor-tions. This is a huge issue, but regardless of where you stand on this issue, it should not be an issue in this elec-tion.

Peace Health, as a Rural Critical Access Hospital, collaborates with other hospitals on services they cannot provide. We all like the idea of seeing our chil-dren/grandchildren born on the island. This how-ever is neither practical nor medically desirable. The medical requirements for a hospital to provide a deliv-ery room include: having an on-call 24/7 obstetrician, an anesthesiologist, specially trained surgical staff and RNs, a respiratory therapist, and a pediatrician/neona-tologist. The low volume of island births simply cannot support that extraordinary expense. To help accommo-date the medical needs of

island women PIMC leases office space to a midwife and two OB/GYNs who come to the island to provide gyne-cologic and prenatal care. These patients deliver their babies at Islands Hospital in Anacortes where there is a complete maternity ward.

With total disregard for the women involved, Monica Harrington would like us to believe that the few elected abortions of island women would be best served on island. To this end she is pushing the ACLU to file a lawsuit against Peace Health claiming that the maternity care provided by Islands Hospital is a ben-efit of Peace Health and therefore that “substantially equivalent benefits for abor-tion” needed to be provided. (Note: The Public Hospital District Board does not have the authority to force Peace Health to do elective abortions.) Should this law-suit not be thrown out as frivolous, but actually won, it would not require Peace Health to do elective abor-tions, but prohibit them from leasing clinic space to OB/GYNs if they did not.

The real issue here is pro-viding high quality medical care to all of our island resi-dents within the constraints of our size and funding. I urge you to vote the real issue in this nonpartisan

election and vote for Jenny Ledford.

Concern about FlexFerry

Regarding the Journal story on Aug. 5, 2015 about FlexFerry, a privately oper-ated reservation system for our Washington State Ferries, I think we should all be concerned about a number of things.

The current ferry reserva-tion system is not perfect, but it does work. Now, in order to avoid being out-maneuvered by a web-bot, we would be forced to use the new private site, a site in which the public has no say whatsoever. And all because Michael Murray almost – but not actually – missed a boat while on vacation.

The most disturbing problem with FlexFerry is the built-in ability to buy and sell ferry reservations. To develop a mechanism to facilitate what amounts to scalping and say “It’s not the same thing as scalping” is really just mincing words. If you create a market to buy and sell ferry reservations to the highest bidder, it is scalping – or just simply the black market.

How much extra is that reservation worth? Is it $1,

$10, or $100? Taking the ferry is already expensive, and now we have to com-pete with visitors and even our own neighbors for the highest price? This site fol-lows in the footsteps of so-called jerktech companies like ReservationHop and ParkingMonkey, where you bid for the highest price for things that used to be, and should be, free.

Many island residents rely on the ferries for their livelihoods. If someone misses that important deliv-ery because someone else triple-booked their vacation plans just in case, or they couldn’t afford to pay the reservation “ransom,” then the purpose of having a res-ervation system in the first place has been defeated.

I’m pretty sure that Mr. Murray has the best inten-tions, but his website adds an unnecessary level of complexity to our ferries, inadvertently hijacks the current WSDOT site, cre-ates a highest bidder market for reservations, and poten-tially negatively impacts those who rely on the ferries the most. By creating this site, Michael Murray will have effectively privatized the ferry pricing scheme for our – very public – ferries. If this isn’t illegal, it should be.

Editorial

Importancethe local pharmacy By Colleen Smith ArmstrongPublisher

I’ve been passionate about pharmacies for a long time. Strange choice, you say? I think not. What could be

more important than personalized, attentive health care?The beginnings of the pharmacy are ancient. Accord-

ing to the Encyclopedia Britannica, when the first per-son expressed juice from a succulent leaf to apply to a wound, it was being practiced.

A brief history of pharmaciesIn ancient Greece and Rome and during the Middle Ages

in Europe, the art of healing recognized a separation between the duties of the physician and those of the herbalist, who sup-plied the physician with the raw materials to make medicines. The Arabian influence in Europe during the 8th Century AD brought the practice of separate duties for the pharmacist and physician.

In America, Benjamin Franklin took a pivotal step in keeping the two professions separate when he appointed an apothecary to the Pennsylvania Hospital. Today, the pharma-cist continues to fulfill the prescriber’s intentions by providing advice and information; by formulating, storing and providing correct dosage forms; and by assuring the quality of medicinal products.

My family and I have filled our prescriptions at local phar-macies for as long we’ve lived here. The attention to detail I have experienced is unlike anything you will receive from online pharmacy companies.

Across the country, rural pharmacies are shutting down because of customers using mail-order companies for their prescriptions. We cannot let this happen in our county. Living on an island makes it so important to maintain the vital ser-vices we need for everyday life. Having a local pharmacy is good for your healthcare, good for the economy and good for the community.

Around 15 years ago insurance companies started offering mail-order pharmacies in order to generate higher profits. While this is sometimes cheaper and more convenient for the customer, it is devastating to small town pharmacies. It’s also important for customers to purchase items off the shelves like vitamins, bandages, etc. Contrary to popular belief, the net profit from pharmaceuticals alone is not high.

For me, it is more important to know your pharmacist and trust they are looking closely at your medical history than it is to save a few dollars. So next time you need to fill a prescription or buy a toothbrush, please consider what it would be like if we did not have locally run pharmacies.

Guest column

By Russel BarshSpecial to the Journal

Ever since Seattle struck gold by serving as the jumping-off point for the 19th century “excitement” in Alaska and the Yukon, and welcomed back thousands of young men with their Alaskan wives and souvenirs, the Northwest Coast “totem pole” has been our regional emblem of native cultures.

Unfortunately, the “totem pole” is not a part of the Coast Salish speaking cultures actually indigenous to these islands and the rest of the Salish Sea. In fact, it is associated with Northwest Pacific peoples that raided and burned Coast Salish villages in the islands each summer and took Coast Salish people as slaves for centuries, right up to the time of European settlement. Totem poles are the coats-of-arms of hereditary chiefs up north. In Coast Salish civilization, leadership roles were earned rather than inherited, and villages erected naturalistic human statures as “welcome posts” to be invi-tations to sea travelers—not unlike the Statue of Liberty in spirit and intent.

Coast Salish people here in the San Juan Islands called the peoples of the totem poles xwitilem: “pirates”.

Before Henry Island was settled by Euro-Americans, its inhabitants spoke the Saanich (Senchathun) dialect of Lknugenung, the Straits Salish lan-guage of the islands. They did not speak Kwakwaka’wakw, which is not a Salish language and belongs to vil-lages over 100 miles farther north on the edge of the Coast Salish world. In Saanich, the name of Henry Island is Nungnengut, and Saanich speak-ing people on Vancouver Island still regard it as a part of their traditional territory and fishing area.

Amongst Indian Tribes and First Nations, there is a diplomatic protocol that you do not do anything in another people’s territory without asking them: meetings of Native peoples always begin with a welcoming by representa-tives of the “traditional owners” of the territory, which in the case of Henry Island would be the Saanich.

From a Native perspective, the cer-emony on Henry Island was not an expression of our islands’ Native cul-tures, but an appropriation as incon-siderate as the French and British explorers that planted flags and crosses on the East Coast claiming ownership without asking the existing owners.

Indeed, it is a bit like flying the Confederate flag today in the South, reminding people not of their freedom and culture today, but of their oppres-sor 150 years ago.

The Kwakwaka’wakw today are justly proud of their cultural survival and key role on Canadian First Nations politics. They are diplomats, artists and teach-ers highly regarded by their Native neighbors. But that is not reason to pretend that they were the indigenous peoples of Henry Island, and to turn our backs, here in San Juan County, on the Saanich people who are our real predecessors, and should be a key part of our efforts to understand our islands’ cultural and ecological past.

Barsh taught Native Studies at the University of Washington, Dartmouth, and University of Lethbridge (Alberta), and served many B.C. and Washington First Nations as an adviser on environ-mental issues and as a technical adviser for Canada’s Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, was the senior manager of Canada’s Treaty Commissioner for the Prairies, and an adviser to the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Indian Affairs under Senator Daniel Inouye. He has published over a hun-dred articles on Native history and ecology.

The truth about native history on Henry

By Peggy ButlerSpecial to the Journal

Phalacrocoracidae. Try to pronounce it. Or stick to its usual tag, Cormorant. You see them, and you especially smell them at the Anacortes ferry terminal. Right now and during the next month they will present dramatic, National Geographic- wor-thy displays of nature as they feed the newly hatched young. The long necks of the Cormorant, which cul-minate in a correspondingly long hooked beak, form a storage area for food, usually small fish the parent bird forages from the sea. But the

parent birds, both father and mother, expect the young to work for their dinner.

Some species of birds dangle worms or other food into the mouths of the young, or regurgitate par-tially digested food directly into tiny gaping mouths. Some birds of prey drop tasty carcasses into the nest to be devoured in small bite size chunks. Not so, the Cormorant. Like the parent birds, young Cormorants also have long snake-like necks ending in long unwieldy beaks. This cre-ates an interesting spectacle as they feed.

The delicate task of feed-

ing begins as the young beg unceasingly by open-ing and closing their beaks like a heartbeat, right in the adult’s face. Eventually the parent bird stands, and stretches out his or her neck with beak towards the sky. The nestling then touches the parent’s beak with his own—like knocking on the door. They touch beaks over and over, the young looking for a way into the slender neck where food awaits. Many tat-tat-tats fail to open the door. After numerous misses, finally the hungry nestling finds a way to get his own beak in position so the adult opens

her beak allowing the young to dive headlong inside.

An amazing feeding spectacle begins. The young bird actually puts his entire head into the parent’s long neck where food is stored. The young bird sucks out the partially digested fish inside. This is a “lengthy” process (sorry), and fasci-nating to watch. It is avail-able for free from the decks of Washington State Ferries as they dock at Anacortes Ferry Terminal. No need to look on YouTube or rent a nature video. Just enjoy a fresh, open air display and marvel at how imaginative nature can be.

PUBLIC MEETINGSI’m Jenny Ledford

and I am running for Public Hospital District Commissioner, Position 3. My husband, Richard, and I have lived on San Juan Island for 13 years as full-time residents. We are both retired. Richard retired as the football coach for our beloved Wolverines and we remain forever support-ers of all things purple and gold.

My career began in sell-ing real estate and went on to teaching real estate as a faculty member of the Graduate Realtors Institute. For over 20 years I owned a

corporate consulting com-pany that did assessments for under-performing government agencies and private corporations. My company was also affiliated with the Pacific Institute in Seattle, Washington, and I served as Vice President of Corporate Development and later, Vice President of Corporate Education.

Knowing how to lay a foundation for leader-ship to become strategic thinkers as well as strate-gic planners paid measur-able dividends for the 300+ projects I directed. Often I was engaged in solving and

resolving conflicts within an agency or corporation.

Some of my clients in the health care arena included, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Health Protection

Branch of Canada, inde-pendent hospitals, hospital chains, and our local San Juan Island EMS.

My professional back-ground provides an excel-lent fit with the duties of a Hospital District Commissioner. I believe the scope and diversity of my work in both national and local venues uniquely quali-

fies me for this position. As your Commissioner I will evaluate every issue that comes to the Commission with fairness, objectivity, and a sense of optimism, fulfilling my duties without being driven by a person-al agenda. I will provide a positive and constructive outlook.

I want to share my ideas with you, hear your con-cerns, and assure you how favorable the future is for our healthcare on San Juan Island. I ask for your trust and your vote on November 3rd. For more info please go to www.trustjenny.net.

ISLAND SCENE

Joe Miller is an established lifetime painter who has chosen to live and work in nature for more than four decades. He lives on San Juan Island.Journal: What makes nature a compel-ling element of your work? Joe Miller: “Nature” and “my nature” are, for me, one and the same. I am of Nature. And so it is magnificent to explore Nature’s “manner of operation” through gleanings here and there of the discoveries of the sciences. Plate tectonics, climate, glacial action, and erosion’s role in the formations of land and sky provide an archaic tem-plate for a process of making a painting come into being. Nature, her “manner of operation,” and her appearance are what inspire my work.Journal: How has living on the San Juans

affected your art?JM: I think it has softened my paintings by working in light passing through clouds, which increases the perception of all the color in the greys and whites; the light in the islands increases the sensing of the complexity of any particular color.Journal: How does it feel to bring images of the West to new York?JM: Thrilling. I brought the paintings to New York in a U-Haul van. My friend, Peter Flood, rode shotgun. It took us about six days to get there. Thirty oil paintings, spaciously hung and lit, made me feel exultant, and during the show it felt good to have people spend time meditating on the work and, from one person, recogni-tion of Navajo sources of my aesthetic. To bring images of Nature into the City. Peter

Flood made videos of discussions of par-ticular works in the show: see Videos on joemiller4.comJournal: What artists inspire you?JM: Fra Angelico, Paul Klee, Joe Cooper, Giorgio Morandi, Giotto, Dana Roberts, Hokusai, and Charles Burchfield; among hundreds of others that are deep in my heart and unconscious mind.Journal: In your artist statement you said “Inherent in taking on a vocation is to accept any accompanying difficul-ties, impoverishments, failures. This has allowed me to paint for over 50 years.” This makes me want to ask: have your struggles enriched your life, if so how?JM: It was good to milk cows every morn-ing and to haul payment in fresh milk home to the children. It was good to have

no money or television so the children got scholarships for University. It was good to be so poor that I accepted almost no pay to appear as a guest lecturer to a class in which Dana Roberts – my to-be wife - was a student. It is good to be so rich in time that I can work on my chosen vocation day and night as other pleasures, such a repair-ing the roof, allow.

— Submitted by IMAThree artists capture the uniquely muted Pacific

Northwest light to create gems for the San Juan Islands Museum of Art shows opening Aug. 29.

Michael Dailey’s show is Early Dawn to Late Twilight. Called “one of the best painters the Northwest has ever seen,” Dailey’s fifteen oil paintings include large-scale color fields meditating on the shifting light of the skies. The stud-ies capture the mystical soul of a looming storm, a sunset or a breaking dawn.

Joe Miller has a lyrical body of work that affirms the tal-ent of four decades devoted to painting, living and working in nature. Miller’s boldly rendered watercolors uniquely reflect our local landforms, rocks, sky and rivers. These two shows are on exhibition until Nov. 9. See a Q&A with Miller below.

Kathy Venter’s unrivaled Immersion Series terra-cotta sculptures connect with universal themes of the human spirit. Her internationally known, full-sized sculptures evoke ancient times and challenge our notion of figurative traditions. Venter’s figures are suspended in space as if float-ing underwater. Her series will be in the Atrium Gallery until Dec. 14.

An opening reception preview is planned for Friday, Aug. 28 from 5-8 p.m. and the public is welcome. These exhibi-tions and presentations are sponsored by The Lester M. and Bernice Smith Foundation.

Additionally, special Art As A Voice programs supple-ment the exhibition schedule. “Michael Dailey: Landscape-

Inspired Abstractions” a panel discussion with Greg Kucera, Susanne Kelly, and Robin Updike is scheduled for Oct. 13, 7:30 p.m. in the Whittier Theater of the San Juan Community Theatre.

On Nov. 4, also at SJCT at 7 p.m., Kathy Venter will pres-ent “Life Sized Ceramic Sculpture” leading the audience through the process and technical challenges of making life-sized sculptures. IMA opened the doors to its permanent home in February of this year with illumination, Glass by William Morris 1998-2003, and Glass 3 with artists Raven Skyriver, Ross Richmond and Shelley Muzylowski.

The museum was started 10 years ago with a “virtual” museum using the San Juan Community Theatre and other locations, as available, as a venue for exhibits and lectures. IMA now makes its place in the light-filled galleries of the re-purposed EMT building.

The recent summer shows were Spineless Portraits of Marine Invertebrates, The Backbone of Life photog-raphy by Susan Middleton; The Twist of Rist Lasting Impressions by Luigi Rist, a print collection; and Liminal Currents: Exploration of an Empathic Umwelt an installa-tion designed and directed by Matthew Gray Palmer with community participation.

By exhibiting national-quality art and exceptional region-al talent, IMA strives to make the visual arts an accessible and vibrant part of the Islands’ community. IMA offers visi-tors and residents hands-on family activities, arts education programs and other activities.

Children and families create “fun-tastic” works with local

artists at IMA. Family Arts Days are a summertime island tradition, where local artists teach printmaking, tie dying and other island crafts in a fun outdoor setting.

The San Juan Island School District and IMA have part-nered since 2010 to build community-based art education programs for our youth. They work to establish and sustain programs of excellence, ensuring that every school-aged child, regardless of economic means and ability, benefits from art instruction as an integral part of their basic public school education.

The Artists’ Registry provides exposure for emerging and established artists in San Juan County, and serves to connect them with art lovers everywhere. Regional talent abounds at their annual Artists’ Registry Show, usually held in the fall featuring 50-plus artists.

General admission for all Art As A Voice series is $16, $13 for IMA members and $8 for students. Tickets will be available at IMA and the SJCT during normal hours.

Animal Shelter partners with Wooftrax

The Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor has partnered with Wooftrax, an organiza-tion that donates money to animal shelters and rescue groups nationwide, utilizing a smartphone application.

The Wooftrax app, when installed on a Smartphone or Android device, allows users to support their local animal rescue organization simply by walking a dog (or dogs). “It’s very simple”, says APS-FH Shelter Manager, Jan Murphy. “Those who’d like to help raise funds for The Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor can visit www.wooftrax.com on their smartphone and download the Wooftrax

app. Once the app has been downloaded one can then select The Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor as the recipient of their fund raising efforts. Users simply take the phone with them whenever they walk a dog. A “Start Walking” button is pushed at the beginning of the walk and the app keeps track of the distance walked. When your walk is stopped it will be credited to the APS-FH account. The app features an “Impact” tab that shows the total number of people walking for a given shelter or rescue and allows one

to magnify their impact by referring friends or mak-ing a gift. The more people actively walking with the app, the greater the ben-efit to your selected animal organization! “Best of all, every walk counts – short or long,” says Murphy.

In the last year Wooftrax raised over $120,000 for shelter and rescue partners.

Horse ride fundraiser

For the first person or per-sons to contribute $1000 to Mount Grant Preserve and note in the memo “Horse

Ride” you will be given a ride for two. You will ride all the way up Mount Grant on these rare but very beautiful horses led by the owner and breeder Amrita Ibold.

Included in Horse Ride for two bonus for your $1000 donation; not only two Mount Grant hats as the horse is proudly wear-ing but also a short tour

of Sweetwater Farm and five new foals. There will be winners for August and again in September!

As we mentioned in the previous Whale Pages, lack of salmon is

a primary cause of the decline of the Southern Residents (SRKW). � e dan-ger of not having enough to eat extends beyond the possibility of starvation. � e SRKW’s have o� en been described as “Urban Whales”.

� is is a convenient fact for all of us who like to view them, but it means that the orcas are subject to all the contami-nation that goes hand and hand with “urban” areas. Toxic contaminants have been released into Puget Sound and sur-rounding watersheads for decades. � e Washington Department of Ecology has identi� ed 17 chemicals of concern for Puget Sound.

Because killer whales sit at the top of the food chain, the chemicals that fall into the “Persistent Bioaccumulative” category are of the most concern for the SRKW’s. � ese are the types of chemi-cals that are mostly synthetic, tend not to break down in the environment, and accumulate in tissues at increasing levels as you move up the food chain.

Two such chemicals that have been studied in marine mammals are poly-chlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s) and poly-brominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE’s). Puget Sound harbor seals have been re-ported to show PCB contamination at levels high enough to cause health prob-lems (Hickie et al. (2007) and Ross et al. (2004)).

Subsequently, the SRKW population has been described as the most PCB-contaminated of all cetaceans in the

world (Ross et al. (2000). Transient killer whales are even further up that chain then the SRKW, and as demon-strated in graphic - they have higher levels of contamination. But their num-bers are � ne, and actually appear to be increasing. So what is the di� erence be-tween the two eco-types?

Again it all comes back to what they eat. Toxins like PCB’s are stored in the animal’s blubber layer. It is presumed that the transients, having an abundant food supply, don’t have the need to ac-cess their blubber metabolically.

� e resident’s however, have a dwin-dling food supply and may be relying on their blubber layer in times of scarcity. � erefore, the SRKW are unwi� ingly pumping toxins into their blood steam, where the transients are keeping them locked away in their blubber layer. At very high concentrations, PCB’s are le-thal, but the non-lethal e� ects include reproductive and immune system dis-ruption.

Unfortunately for the Southern Resi-dents, toxic contamination is a fact of life. Estimates state that it would take over 70 years for the SRKW population to drop below the threshold level of po-tentially damaging health e� ects.

� e best thing we can do for them at this point is make sure that they have enough to eat, so that they need not de-pend on their toxic blubber for survival. And of course that means more salmon. Visit our website for more information: www.whaleresearch.com.
