non Beach Book Company.
Bauermeister will discuss her

The novel is a moving and

lies lost and found and how a fra-
grance conjures memories capable
of shaping the course of our lives.

Dough Dough Bakery and a signed
copy of Bauermeister’s book.

pagne and homemade treats.
Cape Disappointment
hosts inaugural ‘Orca Day’
ILWACO – Cape Disappointment State
Park will host the inaugural “Orca Day,”
at 1 p.m. Saturday, June 15.
The day includes kids’ activities
from 1-4 p.m. and an evening presen-
tation at 7 p.m. at the park’s Waikiki
Amphitheater.
Cape Disappointment is located at 244
Robert Gray Drive.
The evening program features John
Calambokidis from Cascadia Research
and The Whale Trail’s Donna Sand-
strom. Port of Ilwaco Commissioner
Butch Smith will introduce the featured
speakers.
The activities and presentation will
educate attendees through stories and
facts about J, K and L orca pods along
with an update on gray whales. Visitors
to the interpretive Whale Trail can view
many types of whales and marine mam-
mals from shore.
The southern resident orcas are endan-
gered and could go extinct in as few as
100 years.
Comprising just 76 individuals, the
population is nearing its historical low of
71. Sandstrom, Smith and a representa-
tive from Washington State Parks serve
on Governor Inslee’s Southern Resident
Orca Task Force. In November 2018, the
task force recommended 36 actions to
recover the southern residents.
“It’s not too late to save the southern
residents—yet.” Sandstrom said. “The
threats that have brought these beloved
and iconic pods to the edge of extinction
are all human-caused: loss of prey, noise
and disturbance from vessels and toxic
accumulations. We each and all have a
role to play in their recovery.”
The event is co-sponsored by the
Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife.
