Sundance films at Kindlingsfest Feature films selected from the Sundance Film Festival will be screened at Orcas Island Community Church as part of KindlingsFest 2012 this month. “Chasing Ice” tells the story of National Geographic photographer James Balog, who deployed revolutionary time-lapse cameras designed to capture a multi-year record of the world’s changing glaciers. Balog travels with a young team of adventurers by helicopter, canoe and dogsled across three continents, risking his career and his well being in pursuit of the biggest story in human history. The film won the Sundance cinematography award and the Seattle International Film Festival audience favorite award. “Chasing Ice” will show on Friday, July 29 at 8 p.m. “For the Bible Tells Me So” explores Christian responses to homosexuality by following five professing Christian families with a gay son or daughter. A Sundance Film Festival nominee for Grand Jury Prize and winner of SIFF’s audience award for
best documentary, the film will show on Thursday, July 28 at 9:30 p.m. KindlingsFest is celebration of art and ideas where they intersect with the spiritual. In keeping with this year’s KindlingsFest theme, “Crabbed Age and Youth Cannot Live Together: Towards Creating An Intergenerational Future In A Fragmented Age,” each featured film addresses an issue that younger and older generations tend to disagree about. Dr. Jeff Keuss of Seattle Pacific University will lead discussions after each film screening, and at lunch the next day. A third film (title to be announced) will be shown on Wednesday evening at 9:30 p.m. The public is welcome to attend KindlingsFest in full, or just the film events.

Recycling tips
W
e’re not one of the healthiest counties for nothing. While most kids are eating tater tots and breaded chicken, Orcas Island students tend their very own garden. And it’s a luxury that many adults have as well, whether they maintain their own backyard bounty or get goods from the Orcas Farmers’ Market. For the past two years, San Juan County was ranked the No. 1 healthiest county in Washington state. It was based on a headto-head comparison of more than two dozen health-related statistics, including screening for diabetes, adult obesity and years lost to premature death. We think our abundance of healthy eating options and outdoor lifestyles are a big factor in the county’s overall health. We are so grateful to the farmers, chefs, educators and consumers who make local, sustainable food a priority. This summer at Orcas school, community members are invited to dig, eat, harvest and have fun at the school garden every Thursday from now until Aug. 23. The schedule is: • 9 to 11:30 a.m. - Garden tasks • 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. - Make lunch in the garden and enjoy some music • 1 to 2:30 p.m. - Special events (speakers, crafts, surprises) • 2:30 to 3 p.m. - Group art project What a treat for kids and adults to kneel side by side, hands entrenched in dark soil, helping nurture a little piece of Orcas Island heaven. And what a treat for all of us that we can walk out our front doors and have access to as many fresh veggies and fruit as we like.

Did you know you can now add paper cups to your commingled recyclables? They MUST have no liquid in them so drink it up or pour it out, please, before recycling. Plastic cups are NOT recyclable; if you’re not going to wash them for reuse, paper cups might be a better choice! And in the interest of reducing waste, it would be useful to JUST SAY NO to those plastic domes, cup lids, and straws! It may take some creativity to do without but it’s a worthwhile challenge. Plastic that is used once truly is a waste… and these items are not recyclable. One use and they become garbage! Here’s another idea to re-use plastics, while saving resources (oil) and money: Empty the contents of your plastic bags of commingled recyclables into the recycling bins at the solid waste facility; these bags are not recyclable in our current system and can be re-used several times before tearing or otherwise becoming unusable. Paper bags are reusable too and are also recyclable when they’re beyond use. Don’t forget that you can borrow ClearStream recycling frames and bags to promote more recycling at your events! Give us a call to arrange for pick up. We can also talk about other ways to reduce party and event trash. We’d love to hear your ideas to help the islands to send less waste to the landfill!

measure that are appealing. First, it is a modest change to the sales tax: just three tenths of one percent – 30 cents on a $100 purchase, $15 on $5,000 of purchases. Most groceries, drugs and autos are excluded. Second, the price is paid by visitors and residents. It is a way of diversifying the revenue sharing the costs of providing services in this community to the people who benefit from the services. Third, the money is directed to the fairness of how we treat our people – to the sheriff, the prosecutor, public defense and the courts. Our preference for these services defines the good standard of living and way of life in this community. Our approach to law enforcement brings value to property owners and visitors alike. There has been no rush to adopt the public safety sales tax. It is a tax that was authorized in 2003. Nearly a decade has passed and during that time county leaders have cut budgets and used other ways to pay for law and justice services. It’s time to bring stability to our law enforcement and courts. Please vote “yes!” Randall Gaylord SJC Prosecuting Attorney

Cherry Point Terminal is a moral dilemma As you have been reading in the Sounder and perhaps many of the local papers, our pristine environment is about to be sacrificed for the benefit of large money interests and the inaction and disinterest of your federal representatives (whom I assume have received very generous campaign contributions from many of the players). At first glance the exportation of coal to Asia from Cherry Point in Whatcom County seems like a good idea. It helps the few miners in Wyoming, jobs for some railroad employees, jobs for some workers at the exporting point in Whatcom County and our balance of payments with China. Unfortunately there is no benefit to the citizens in Whatcom, Skagit and San Juan

LETTERS FROM 4 County. We get few of the export dollars but get a great deal of pollution from coal dust and increased hazards created by the foreign tankers hauling coal westward. If that were the only issue, I might be tempted to be in favor of such exportation. However, when coal is burned we all know that it pollutes the atmosphere with global warming CO2, mercury, sulfuric acid, and nitrous oxide.
www.ISLANDSSOUNDER.com
This pollution will drift back across the Pacific to enact tremendous health and environmental damage to our West Coast and of course the rest of the world. I have been confronted many times by “if we don’t ship it through our ports, the Canadians will through their ports. Why give them the money when we can have it and jobs to boot?” I guess you must then look inward to your moral beliefs. If what someone else does is wrong and you support only
to inure a benefit for yourself, then you align yourself in that moral camp and I doubt anyone would be able to change your basic morality. I personally don’t think one wrong (the shipping of coal through another port) especially if we have conclusive proof of the damage that this coal will have on us and the world, is a valid nor principled conclusion for any support of its implementation.

Waiting game on wireless communication rules by Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
“Yes” is the answer. But the question is “when?” After more than five years of meetings and hearings and work, San Juan County now has a “new and improved” regulatory framework for locating digital communications sites in the San Juan islands. But the Community Development and Planning Department says there are no applications in the pipeline to locate new cell phone towers in the county. “We’ve received calls” said Julie Thompson at the planning agency, “but no applications yet.” “The new statute is all we need to process cell phone antenna applications,” added Shirene Hale, CDPD’s lead planner. Hale says the statute makes siting easier for telecom companies to site antennas and towers, especially if the site is a “joint use” facility that includes equipment used by public safety agencies, like the Sheriff ’s Department or an EMT agency. “But it’s just a step,” she said. “It’s up to the service providers and the public safety agencies now.” One of those service providers, maybe the one best situated to make the first move, is Orcas Power and Light Cooperative. But OPALCO is at least two years away from deploying new technology on its poles and towers. “We’re compiling technical information now so that the OPALCO Board can make a decision on the broadband (for more info on this issue, see story at right) deployment initiative, probably by the end of summer,” said OPALCO Assistant General Manager
Foster Hildreth, point man for the local utility’s telecommunications and broadband efforts. “After the board decision, we’ll be designing the infrastructure and doing the planning so we can start construction in 2013, with full deployment in 2015. At that time, communications companies, public safety agencies and OPALCO itself can colocate antennas and other equipment on our poles.” Hildreth added, “We can provide the poles, the electricity and the backhaul capacity, but the infrastructure must work in symmetry with the other provider’s technology.” And that takes time. “Maybe a few months for single equipment installations, more for the kind of multiple locations and complex equipment that will be part of the broadband initiative that we’re working on,” said Hildreth, noting that OPALCO won’t decide on the larger broadband question until next year. San Juan County’s “Wireless Facilities Ordinance” was passed June 26 by the County Council with the intent to make locating cellphone antennas easier in the county, and in a manner that is “consistent with the character of island neighborhoods and the rural and scenic qualities of the islands,” according to the ordinance’s preamble. In response to the expressed desire of public safety agencies for access to new technology breakthroughs, the new cellphone
tower siting rules makes public safety telecommunications “essential public services” and give various preferences to siting antenna sites which are co-located with public safety communications sites. Hildreth says OPALCO is “ready now” to entertain proposals from cellular providers and public agencies for specific installations. But with negotiations and then planning taking one to three months, Hildreth thinks “late this year” might be the earliest date for improved cellphone reception on any of the islands. So the answer is, “Yes, but not now.”

Broadband initiative update As Orcas Power and Light Cooperative’s Board of Directors continue to study the feasibility of the broadband initiative, improving high-speed internet and other communication services, staff say progress is being made. There have been developments on three major contingencies, which the board has to address before voting on the project: revision of the county’s wireless ordinance, completion of feasibility studies and acquisition of a Federal Communications Commission licensed frequency.
Wireless Ordinance Last week, the county council passed a revised Wireless Ordinance defining Joint-Use Wireless Facilities. These are facilities that can provide support for multiple public services on one utility pole, including electrical power management and public safety radio communications, according to OPALCO. The broadband component of these systems could be used to provide high-speed internet service countywide, and could improve cell phone coverage if the cellular providers agree to use these facilities. OPALCO said the adoption
One week left in dog story contest
of the Wireless Ordinance was accomplished through a thorough public process that included public testimony, legal review and many thoughtful hours of our council member’s time and attention.
Feasibility studies Initial technical studies are complete and OPALCO staff members will be fieldtesting potential equipment and pole locations as they refine the system design. “We are working with industry experts to develop potential business models for board consideration – and the numbers continue to be the most challenging aspect of the project,” said OPALCO staff. “The board is committed to finding a solution that makes sense for the co-op model and for the membership.”
FCC licensed frequency Meetings to discuss the acquisition of a FCC licensed frequency have been positive, according to OPALCO and they are are hopeful that an agreement
could be reached in the next few months. Much of the system design (including actual coverage, capacity, number of poles and pole locations) is dependent on the frequency that would be deployed. Once an agreement is reached for a specific frequency range, a final system design can be developed. Public forums held on four islands in May were well attended and have started a public dialogue on the project. There has been positive and negative feedback from members about the Broadband Initiative. The board is also considering concerns that have been raised about the potential cost burden to members, their issues with RF emissions and the potential role of the co-op as an Internet service provider. All feedback is being carefully reviewed as the board moves toward a decision, said OPALC0 staff. For more info, visit www.opalco.com or stop by OPALCO’s booth at the county fair where staff will be available to discuss the project and answer questions.

David Marion Barnhart died Saturday June 30, 2012 at home in Redmond, Wash. surrounded by his “Tribe,” family, and numerous friends and loved ones after a brief struggle with cancer. David was born Aug. 13, 1952 at Kadlec Hospital in Richland, Wash. and grew up the Seattle/Woodinville area attending Woodinville and Cottage Lake Elementary schools and Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Lake City. David’s early years were spent on Hollywood Hill, a rural area of Woodinville, where he and his brother, Bryan, became capable horsemen belonging to the Gold Creek Cavalry and riding in parades, drills, and other shows. He was taught to love the outdoors by his father, Walter, spending much time hiking and camping. Later David moved to Yakima and attended West Valley Junior High and High School, Ellensburg High School, moved to Bellingham and attended Nooksack High School before enlisting in the Army and going to Vietnam.

David enlisted in the Army in 1970 and served his country in Vietnam as an aircraft crew chief earning numerous distinctions including Sharpshooter, and Good Conduct Medal and was honorably discharged. Upon his discharge he briefly attended Yakima Valley College. David began his woodcarving career in Yakima and then migrated to Orcas Island where he lived for 10 years. He attended sweat lodges and has many surviving friends who loved him there. His carvings populate the island. David was known to most people who knew him in Redmond as “Woodcarver” and was a gifted and accomplished artist with numerous works in both residential and commercial settings. Woodcarver was, however, much more than an artist. He also served many who sought him out for personal and spiritual advice on many different levels. He became a part of a circle known as the “Tribe” who along with his wife Cheryl never left his side during his last struggle, providing for all his needs up until the end. His family is grateful for the sacrifices of this

‘Einstein’ play review by TOM WELCH
Special to the Sounder
Replenish your mind, body
&spirit
A warm, inviting set with excellent lighting and sound are the perfect accompaniments to Tony Lee’s virtuoso performance as Albert Einstein in Doug Bechtel’s new play now running at the Grange. The study of a modest suburban New Jersey home seems oddly perfect as the venue for “Albert Einstein: A Stage Portrait,” by Willard Simms. Offering glimpses of the “human” side of a figure of almostmythic proportion to most, Lee uses his wonderfully rich, warm voice and talent for accent to bring Einstein to life. It didn’t take any of us long to believe that Einstein was standing right there, on stage at the Grange, joking and kidding with us as though we were in his own home. Bechtel’s casting, direction, set and sound design are superb, as we’ve come to expect, with amazing support from Cele Westlake, Patty Monaco, Vince Monaco, and others. All worked perfectly as Lee held us in thrall to the wonders of science, the tragedy of the Nazi era that forced him to leave Germany, life in Princeton, and his anguish over the legacy of the atomic age. “Albert Einstein” is at the Grange on July 13, 14, 15 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 at Darvill’s or at the door.

Biologists study local species of ‘conservation need’
Dave Menke, FWS photo
The western bluebird is a sight to behold.
Earlier this month, biologists from the Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife visited Orcas to study some species of concern. Twelve “Species of Greatest Conservation Need” have been documented as likely to occur in terrestrial habitats of the San Juan Islands. This list includes bird species like the bald eagle and the much rarer golden eagle, but also the western bluebird, Vaux’s swift, and purple martin; two insects: island marble butterfly and propertius duskywing moth; two herptiles: sharp-tailed snake and western toad; and three species of mammal: Townsend’s big-eared bat, Keen’s myotis bat, and Shaw Island vole.
Laurie Gallo, RN, LCCE: “Learning from each other...providing a community of care.” Like many on Orcas Island, Laurie Gallo has held many jobs. Twenty years ago, she was receptionist and staff assistant at Orcas Medical Center (OMC). Now she’s returned as a registered nurse (RN). She’s also a certified childbirth educator (LCCE) at Island Hospital. Since graduating from college, Laurie’s been a Peace Corps volunteer, wilderness instructor, assistant director of Four Winds Camp, mountain and kayak guide, emergency medical technician, family advocate at Children’s House/Family Resources Center, and nurse at Orcas Family Health Center. Today, Laurie is a family-practice, acute-care nurse at OMC. She works with patients to boost their understanding of their bodies and their desire to make healthy changes. She also performs lab tests, X-rays and wound care. “I like working closely with our patients, our entire clinic team, and our colleagues at Island Hospital,” said Laurie, “By learning from each other, we’re providing a whole community of care.”
“I’ve just witnessed my 301st mother deliver her baby!” In 2003, Laurie started the “Preparing for Childbirth” program on Orcas to help women and their loved ones prepare for pregnancies, childbirth, breastfeeding and life with newborns. She’s the mother of two grown daughters and lives with her partner Lisa Byers. Orcas Medical Center is at 7 Deye Lane, next door to Orcas Center.

With the exception of the bald eagle, the western bluebird, and the island marble butterfly, recent systematic and comprehensive surveys have not been done on an island by island basis for the animals on the list. The last close look at small mammals was done 40 years ago by Dr. John Schoen. For a variety of reasons, San Juan and Lopez Islands have received the most attention when it comes to wildlife surveys. In early June, WDFW biologists Ruth Milner, Tom Cyra, and Greg Green, and WDFW intern Leah Rensel began gathering information on Orcas Island.
Armed with traps, cameras, and electronic bat call detectors, they searched a number of properties whose owners graciously granted access, looking particularly for bats and small mammals. Since the only documented occurrence of the sharp-tailed snake in the San Juans was found in 2007 at Turtleback Mountain (see home.comcast. net/~tsirtalis/022asharp-tailed.pdf), the crew also spent a little time looking for the snakes in that vicinity.

Islands’ Sounder staff non-fiction picks Gertrude Bell: Queen of the Desert, Shaper of Nations,” by Georgina Howell tells the story of an adventurous and strong spirited woman, whose work in the Middle East has often been overshadowed by the famous Lawrence of Arabia. It was Gertrude who broke not only gender and class barriers, but also played a vital role in the formation of modern Iraq – all while enduring the sweltering heat. “Jaguar: One Man’s Struggle to Establish the World’s First Jaguar Preserve,” by Alan Rabinowitz takes readers into the rainforest of Belize and gives you a rare and exhilarating story written by a boy that could only speak to animals, who later becomes the jaguar’s biggest champion. “Swimming to Antarctica: Tales of a Long-distance Swimmer,” by Lynne Cox. If you think it’s been cold this summer, Cox describes the painstaking training it took her to submerge into ice cold waters. “Let’s Take the Long Way Home,” by Gail Caldwell follows two writers who love water and dogs. They forge a friendship and struggle with universal subjects like needing someone and the grief of losing that person, which the author refers to as at the

A young innkeeper, chest-deep in daydreams, looks out over the incandescent waters of the Ligurian Sea and spies an apparition: a tall, thin woman, a vision in white, approaching him on a boat. She is an American starlet, and she is dying. Gloriously inventive, constantly surprising, it is a story of flawed yet fascinating people, navigating the rocky shores of their lives while clinging to their improbable dreams. “Ripe: A Cook in the Orchard” by Nigel Slater is written in intimate, Thursday morning story times will be expanded to an hour (9:30 to 10:30 a.m. ) and will include music, stories, and craft activities.

BOOKS FROM 9 when you're finally released, you will come back to yourself feeling wiser, and flush with gratitude. And you will have remembered what magnificent alchemy a finely wrought novel can work. “Cutting for Stone” by Abraham Berghese tells a tale of Marion and Shiva Stone who are twin brothers. Orphaned by their mother’s death and their father’s disappearance, bound together by a preternatural connection and a shared fascination with medicine, the twins come of age as Ethiopia hovers on the brink of revolution. The characters are strong, interesting, and very human; the conflicts are realistic and keep the pace of the novel moving forward. Even minor characters are sufficiently well developed. There is gentle humor, emotional turmoil, and great personal triumph throughout the book.

The Blackberry Bushes Martin Lund to perform Stringband on Lopez The Blackberry Bushes hail from the rain-drenched forests of Olympia, Wash. They take a bluegrass instrumentation, draw from the deep roots of American folk music and add influences from bluegrass, Appalachian old-time, and Indie rock to jazz, pop and alternative country. The band, shown right, will perform on Friday, July 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Woodmen Hall on Lopez. “The Bushes are a band of talented musicians giving it all they have, with a sound
that comes from a true desire to put the ensemble before the individual,” say organizers. They have just released a new EP entitled “At The Break” recorded by Michael Connolly of Empty Sea Studios in Seattle and were voted 2012 Oly Music Awards Judges Best Pick in the Acoustic/Folk/Bluegrass category. Tickets are $15 adults, $8 for 12-16 or free for under 12. For more information, go to http://www.homeonthegrange.com.

“Most island residents tend to roll their eyes and look perplexed when I tell them I’m after the Shaw Island vole,” Mitner said. She says a species with such a narrow geographic range can be quite vulnerable if a catastrophic event were to occur. One of her goals is to obtain specimens to document the islands where they are found today.
They were able to document six species of bats, five species of mammals, including the Shaw Island vole and a muskrat, one amphibian, and two reptiles. They hope to be back on Orcas and other islands this summer. Milner is particularly interested in hearing about sightings of golden eagle nests, western toads, or small pinkish snakes, which might be sharp-tails. She can be emailed at ruth.milner@dfw.wa.gov.

and, in its way, profound work,” wrote the New York Times. Bartlett Sher’s production stars Joseph Calleja in the tour-de-force title role of this fictionalized take on the life and loves of the German Romantic writer E.T.A. Hoffmann. Diva Anna Netrebko is the tragic Antonia and Alan Held sings the demonic four villains. James Levine conducts.
