County grapples with critical areas by SCOTT RASMUSSEN Journal editor

San Juan County will be headed back to the drawing board with its critical areas ordinance. In a decision handed down Sept. 6, the Washington State Growth Management Hearings Board determined that while much of the ordinance satisfies goals of the state Growth Management Act, there remain 10 elements of the revised controversial county CAO that do not comply with state law. From buffers widths to best available science, and from wetland water quality protection to exemptions allowed for utilities in public and private right-of-ways, 10 portions of the CAO will need to be revisited and reconstructed as a result of the Hearings Board ruling. In spite of the shortcomings, Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord said the ruling is a welcomed result. “Overall, this is a positive ruling for the county,” Gaylord said in a press release. “The Growth Board upheld the county’s extraordinary public participation process, the method of identifying and designating critical areas, and the sitespecific approach to calculating buffer sizes.”

The 1990 Growth Management Act and 1998 amendments to the GMA mandated that local governments prepare and periodically review comprehensive plans and development regulations, especially in five designated critical areas. Those areas are specified as aquifer recharge areas, geologically hazardous areas, frequently flooded areas, fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, and wetlands. The 1998 amendments specified that a “Best Available Science” standard must be incorporated into CAO plans and regulations. Approved by the county council in December, the change in land-use rules initiated through the state-required CAO update have yet to be implemented on the ground. The council in April postponed putting the rules into effect until March 2014 in part because of the complexity of the new set of regulations and pending litigation. Five different groups filed lawsuits contesting various elements of the CAO after the new set of rules were approved by the council. Gaylord noted that those lawsuits, filed by Common Sense Alliance, P.J. Taggares Company,

Boat sinks after ferry collision by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter

A 28-foot sailboat sank after it was struck by the Hyak ferry on Sept. 13. The lone occupant, a man in his mid-60s, was taken to Peace Island Hospital on San Juan Island but did not sustain major injuries. Several eyewitnesses reported that the ferry collided with a sailboat called the Norma Rae. At around 2 p.m, Suzanne Lyons saw the mast of the Norma Rae crack and heard the screeching of the sailboat hitting the side of the ferry. “An older man was sitting on the boat as it was sinking,” said Lyons, who was in her car at the time of the incident. The ferry left Anacortes at 12:35 p.m. and

landed on Lopez at 1:30 p.m. Another witness on the ferry, Michael Bried, said the accident occurred after the boat left Lopez and was heading toward Orcas. “The sailboat was a mile north of Lopez in the middle of the shipping lane,” said Bried. A Fish and Wildlife boat towed the sailboat away, but it later sank in 250 feet of water. “I don’t know why the ferry pilot didn’t see the sailboat,” Bried said. “It was a clear day.” The accident forced the cancellation of the 2:20 p.m. sailing from Orcas to Anacortes. Washington State Ferries representatives could not be reached by this press time. The incident is under investigation by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Islanders never forget 9/11 by CALI BAGBY and COLLEEN ARMSTRONG Staff report

Colleen Smith Armstrong/staff photo

Rich Harvey, Jack Delisle and Pat Ayers ring the bell in honor of those lost on Sept. 11, 2001.

Islanders shed their tears in a silent communion today as they remembered the tragic events of Sept. 11. “I don’t like this day. It hurts and it’s sad,“ said Fire Chief Kevin O’Brien. “Sad for the country and for the world. Sept. 11 changed everything and affects every single person.” It was an emotional day at the Eastsound Fire Hall as policemen, firefighters, community members and students gathered to honor those lost on Sept. 11, 2001. The audience heard from O’Brien, former New Yorker Maura O’Neill, San Juan County Councilman Rick Hughes, new OIFR Chaplain Scott Harris and Undersheriff Bruce Distler, who spoke of recognizing the service that policemen and firefighters provide.

“Please, when you see us, smile, shake our hand and say hi,” Distler said. O’Brien shared how deeply 9/11 affected him personally. “I exercise a little more care and caution,” said O’Brien. “I appreciate my children and this wonderful country we live in.” The event included a performance by Nancy Knapp’s fifth grade students and music by the Orcas Community Band. “We must remember what happened and move forward positively,” said O’Brien. OIFR is working on building a Sept. 11 monument out of a 700-pound steel beam recovered from the World Trade Center.

Goodbye Ronnie and Robert by Errol SpEEd

Orcas Recycling Services Interim Facility Manager

Dirty Elsie by ToM WElCH

for the Orcas Island Historical Society

It was a sunny day in May of 1909 when three men in two small boats began corralling the logs that had drifted away from Terrill’s Beach on the rip tide. Attaching tow lines to each log they found, the men rowed them in toward the base of the cliff at the end of the skid road. The foreman of the crew that day was Jim Baker, who had come to Orcas Island in 1901. He was ashore with a team of horses, helping drag the logs up the beach, when he first glanced toward Parker Reef. What he saw that day became imprinted so firmly on his brain that he retained the vivid image for the rest of his days. Seals were crowded on the rocks of the reef that sunny day, and a pod of Orcas sported out past the reef, midway between Orcas and Sucia Island. As Baker idly counted the number of seals sunning themselves on the rocks, he suddenly noticed a disturbance in the water out past the reef. As he peered at the apparent commotion in the water, he was surprised to see all of the seals flee the rocks into the water. Looking out past the rocks, he could

see that the pod of whales had also become alarmed at something. Moving much faster than they had been, they were now headed directly toward the boats. Baker ran down the beach, shouting a warning to the boatmen to beware of the whales. As Baker ran he saw the water begin foaming out past the reef, and the head of a huge sea serpent rose from the roiling waters. Ten feet and more of the monster’s head surfaced, and his undulating body rose in and out of the water as it moved with incredible speed to Parker’s Reef. Shaggy, mane-like fronds ringed the monster’s neck behind the head, which resembled a large draft horse. A large dorsal fin about fifteen feet behind the head stood approximately six feet high, and moved from left to right as the creature swam onto the rocks. The creature twisted its head, evidently spotting the men in their boats, for it started at once in their direction. Baker shouted at the men again. They glanced once toward Sucia, then quickly snapped their heads about again and stared as they caught sight of the monster on the reef. Casting off the

tow lines, the men rowed for their lives toward the shore. The serpent swam to the abandoned logs they had just cast off, nudged them with its massive head, and turned to head back in the direction of Sucia. The foamy wake dissipated slowly as Baker and his crew gathered on the beach, staring at the thing one of the men named ‘Ugly Elsie’. Sea serpents have been reported in these waters for many years, including a sighting at Cadboro Bay, British Columbia, that resulted in the creature being given a taxonomic name. “Cadborosaurus Willsi” is said by witnesses to resemble a serpent with vertical coils or humps in pairs behind a horse-like head. Forward and hind flippers are paired on each side of an elongated body described as slender, and more than sixty feet long when adult. There have been more than 300 claimed sightings of “Cadborosaurus Willsi” over the past 200 years, including at Deep Cove on Saanich Inlet, B.C., and at De Courcy Island in 1968. In 1991 Phyllis Harsh claimed to have caught and released a small, 2 foot baby ‘Caddy’ near Johns Island in the San Juan Islands.

I have had the great privilege in recent weeks to work in close quarters with the long-time operators of the Orcas Transfer Station, Ronni Silva and Robert Hammermeister. Their mastery of the complex ebb and flow of solid waste and recyclables is impressive. Their ability to deal with any and all unforeseen problems in a graceful and efficient manner is nothing less than astounding. These two individuals have been the unsung “Superheroes” of our county solid waste system. In taking a closer look at Robert “The Hammer” Hammermeister, we see that he operates the John Deere 410g Backhoe as if it was another limb connected to his body. I have observed Robert pushing and packing complex loads of mixed solid waste to fill transfer

trailers in a seamless dance that is beautiful to watch, and very difficult to replicate. I learned quickly that all loads of solid waste can be vastly different in nature and present a Rubik’s Cube of possibilities when attempting to pack a transfer trailer. I cannot in good conscience omit Robert’s astonishing skill at backing the 48-foot long transfer trailers into the “Black Hole” trailer bay below the tipping floor. In one fluid sweep Robert could place 70 feet of rolling steel, so close to the wall my hand would not fit between the two – in the dark. And last but not least was the sense of humor Robert had about all the things that happened each day. He is “The Hammer Master.” Now to Ronni Silva, who by the way has worked at the transfer station for more than 17 years. Ronni has been the site manager for many years. She has been the face of the Orcas

Transfer Station for a long time, and what a beautiful face. That beauty is not only skin deep, as we all know, when as customers we have been greeted time and again by a glowing smile and a voice that seems to be able to calm a storm. I thought maybe I would discover that this sweetness of spirit and happy countenance may have been just very good professional customer relations. Those possibilities went out the window quickly as I watched day after day, hour after hour, customer after customer, Ronni influence each person in a positive and soothing manner. She is the only person I know who can tell you “well how about we charge you for six cans of recycling today” (when you thought you only had one can), and make you feel like you got a good deal! Having watched Ronni do this over and over again, a new verb seemed appropriate – Ronnify – to be inexplicably influenced in a soothing manner towards a positive outcome! Ronni managed all the transfer station flow, incoming and outgoing, and its operations with amazing grace, skill, efficiency, and kindness. Ronni and Robert are irreplaceable and unique. They will be missed greatly and we at ORS will do our best to meet the high bar they have set. And as we continue operations at the Orcas Island Transfer Station without them by our side, we will forever be reaching for that high level of service that Ronni and Robert have provided to our community for all these years. Good fortune and Godspeed to you in your new adventure in life. You are always welcome at the “Scale Shack,” please visit us often.

Last week in Viking sports by MARTY ZIER Sports contributor

Volleyball The Lady Vikings volleyball team traveled to Lopez to play the Lobos in a preseason game and came home with a three-game sweep on Sept. 10. Early season jitters and unforced errors hampered both teams in a close first match, 28-26, while the Vikings settled down and played strong in the second game, winning 25-18. The Lobos opened the third game sharp and dominated most of the game until a stretch of strong Viking serving by Hannah Gaydos, Bella Nigretto, Kilee Rogers and Alicia Susol took control, winning the game and match 25-23. On Sept. 12, the Friday Harbor Wolverines steamrolled the young Viking volleyball team Thursday in three straight games at Orcas High School.

Football Viking football hosted the second annual “Border

War” game, hosting the Whiterock, B.C. Mariners last Saturday in a 48-14 dominate non-league win. Viking quarterback Demitri Pence launched the scoring machine early in the first quarter with touchdown passes to Miles Harlow and Gage Harlow plus a quarterback keeper, pushing the score to 28-0. Viking starting defense was led by seniors Joe Kostechko and juniors Joey Susol, Jay Zier, Pence and Harlow kept the Mariners’ offense to minimal gains. The Mariners’ quarterback Chase Head connected a second quarter touchdown pass and with a two -point conversion, making the score 35-8. Pence returned the ensuing Whiterock kickoff 75 yards for a Viking score. Whiterock scored again in the third quarter with a quarterback sneak but trailed 45-14. With most Orcas starters retired for the second half, Viking freshmen and sophomores took advantage of abundant playing time. The Vikings host Friday Harbor the Island Cup on Saturday, Sept. 21 at 2 p.m.

Girls soccer The Vikings’ girls soccer team opened the season at West Seattle on Sept. 13, losing to the Seattle Lutheran Saints 5-0. Seniors Shelbi Roges and Diansa Anuenue led their young teammates through a physically difficult contest with only 12 Viking players suited up. “This game not only exceeded my expectations it expanded my expectations,” said Coach Chama Anderson. “They played so well, from the eighth graders to the seniors, in terms of their teamwork, communication and ability to track their players.” Looking forward to playing at Concrete on Sept. 26, Anderson is focusing on improving offensive chemistry, creative movements on counter attacks and marking up as point of attack changes.

Right: Gage Harlow in Saturday’s game. team jump started their season with a 3-1 win against the Braves on Sept. 11. Despite Orcas lacking a couple key players, assistant coach Terry Turner said, “The whole team played well and helped each other out, even our newer, younger players. With two defensive starters out, senior Eric Eagan stepped up in a new center defensive position.” The Vikings boys soccer team faced a tough

early season match against the Shoreline Christian Crusaders, ending in a 1-0 loss at Orcas High School. The two evenly matched teams played with a similar strategy of ball possession and a hard-working defense. The slow starting Vikings allowed the only goal of the game midway through the first half, but Orcas maintained defensive intensity the remainder of the game.

Attempting to crack the Crusader defenders, Orcas shooters threatened to score multiple times with attempts from juniors William Coe, Lee Pollard, and senior Jack Russillo but came up short. Senior goalkeeper Alex Rogers had fantastic saves and kept the game close. The Vikings’ next games are September 20 at Grace Academy and Bear Creek on Sept. 21.

Affordable Care Act update Fadem to lead literature class The following was submitted by the Orcas Affordable Care Collaborative. Washington state has been proactive in its efforts to be ready for Medicaid expansion (the state medicaid program is expanding to cover adults who meet income criteria) and enrollment for insurance coverage through the Washington State Exchange. The first open enrollment lasts six months beginning Oct. 1, 2013 and running until March 31, 2014. Approved coverage begins Jan. 1, 2014. The application will be available at the Washington Health Benefit Exchange website, www.wahbexchange.org, beginning Oct. 1, 2013. The website is up and running now and has a calculator feature to help estimate cost and tax credits as well as provide answers to questions. The intent of the Affordable Care Act is to increase access to health care and improve quality and affordability. On Sept. 3, a Customer Support Call Center opened the phone lines to answer questions about the enrollment process, health cover-

age options, and financial help. Representatives are available now to help in 175 languages, weekdays from 7:30 a.m. until 8 p.m., toll free at 855-923-4633. In order to help the Orcas community navigate the website and complete the application, representatives from Orcas Family Connections, Orcas Island Community Foundation, Orcas Library, Orcas Island School District, Orcas Medical Center, Orcas Family Health Center, and San Juan County Health and Community Services are working on a collaborative effort called the Orcas Affordable Care Collaborative to create access points where applica-

tion assistance and computers will be available. There will be several Orcas individuals trained to assist those who need help with the applications. Aaimee Johnson and Dixie Morrison from Orcas Family Health Center will be trained as “Certified Application Counselors.” At least four people will be trained by the state to help in person: Erin O’Dell and Kalie McGinnis from Orcas Family Connections, Michael Moss and Pegi Groundwater from Orcas Medical Center and Orcas broker David Ecklund. More volunteers will be trained later in the fall. To volunteer, call Orcas Family Connections at 376-3184.

Richard Fadem will be leading a new literature class. Before moving to Orcas Island, he taught English literature at Scripps College and Claremont Graduate School. Since then he has taught many stimulating classes here “simply for the joy of inquiry – learning pursued entirely for its own sake.” The six-week session will begin on Thursday, Oct. 3, 10 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., at the Senior Center. The focus for the first three weeks will be Edith Wharton’s novel “The Age of Innocence” and for the next three weeks Philip Roth’s “American Pastoral.” Richard requests that we

have read “The Age of Innocence” before the first class. The books will be available at Darvills (the Wharton should be the Authorized Edition).

The cost of the class is $30 dollars. The tuition will be applied to the rental of the Senior Center room and the remainder will be donated to a worthy island cause.

Editorial

It’s a balancing act for island businesses

handful of the businesses and restaurants in Eastsound were closed on Sunday and Monday of Labor Day weekend. The result: frustrated tourists and long lines out the door of the few restaurants that were open. One lodging owner told us: “For the first time ever, we received a negative review from someone and it was about the lack of food and shopping options over Labor Day weekend.” Another island businessperson said: “A family came in, asking where they could eat lunch. Their little girl was crying because their one restaurant option had a long wait.” We understand that after a busy summer of non-stop work, a day of rest is imperative. As we wrote last week, your brain needs a break. We also understand that it costs money to open your doors, and perhaps historically Sunday and Monday are slow days. We understand it’s a balancing act faced by many businesses: taking a day off versus serving our visitors every day. But we don’t want to get a bad reputation, whether it’s in an online review or word of mouth. And this summer has been one of the best in years, as we reported last month. For April through June, Washington State Ferries recorded an overall rider increase of 1.8 percent for the San Juan Islands routes; Orcas was up 4.6 percent. We’ll have the July and August results soon. And luckily, the season isn’t over yet. Visitors still come here in September and October – and the holidays are just around the corner. Our island community has had a wonderfully successful summer. Thank you to everyone who has devoted so much time and energy during a hectic time. We hope the coming months are equally prosperous with happy business owners and happy tourists.

Unhappy with flags My family and I were fortunate enough to spend our annual family vacation on Orcas Island during the week leading up to Labor Day. I was confused and a bit dismayed by the abundance of rainbow flags on display throughout Eastsound. I’ve no idea what prompted this overwhelming display of “pride,” but as visitors and parents of two

young children, my wife and I found it disheartening. An annual trip to Orcas has become a family tradition, and we don’t come to the island expecting to be bombarded by any political or social ideology. I humbly suggest to Eastsound shop owners that it would be far more welcoming to locals and visitors of all persuasions to display the American flag. The American flag stands for liberty and justice for all people, and those are principles we can all take pride in. Peter Bratney Des Moines, Iowa

Happy birthday, Marty Sometimes I think it might be good to hear from a “grateful” mother when it comes to an adult son celebrating a milestone birthday. To hear of her feelings regarding her son and her pride in him as he has matured as a husband and

father. Also his presence in the community where he works giving volunteer hours to help the community in many different ways. He has been such a good father to his children. This is where he shines. As a father he is always there night and day for them and it shows. The love and laughter between the whole Zier family cannot be replaced. I am so proud of how the grandchildren have been taught to love and respect each other and most importantly their parents. Happy 50th Birthday, Marty, I am so very proud of you. Your honesty, your values in life, your willingness to work hard when times are tough and your integrity all add up to an unbelievable son, which would make his deceased father and this mother very proud to call him “son.” Nancy Zier Orcas Island

SHERIFF’S LOG

San Juan County Sheriff’s Department reported responding to these calls:

Aug. 16: A late-night detour into a ditch prompted the arrest of a Lopez Island woman for DUI. The 63-year-old was taken into custody in the 6000 block of Fisherman Bay Road shortly before midnight after she reportedly failed a series of field sobriety tests. Aug. 17: A 35-year-old Orcas Island man was flown off-island for treatment of a fractured femur and possible hip injury after his paraglider crashed on Deer Harbor Road only moments before touchdown. The man, an Issaquah resident as well, took off from the top of Turtleback Mountain and intended to land near the family home when a heavy gust of wind reportedly spoiled a would-be soft landing and slammed him against the pavement in the 2000 block of Deer Harbor Road, shortly before 6 p.m. He was dragged for a short distance within the wreckage before coming to a stop.

Sept. 1: An alleged attack on his wife prompted the arrest of a Seattle man for assault at an Orcas Island home. The 45-year-old, who was taken into custody at about 10 p.m. at an Eastsound-area home, allegedly threw his spouse onto a coffee table, tried to choke her and then hurled her against a door. The woman fled the home and called 911. •A late-night single car collision led to the arrest of an Orcas Island man for DUI. The 23-year-old, who was taken into custody at about 2 a.m. in the 1300 block of West Beach Road, veered off-road and through a yard, crashed into a deck and then ended up at the bottom of a deep ravine with minor injuries. The man’s license, issued in North Carolina, had reportedly been revoked because of a prior DUI.

Quarterly review OPALCO to expand energy efficiency from auditor by F. MILENE HENLEY

San Juan County Auditor

I work for the government, which gives me a warped view of the world. I forget that not everyone knows obscure stuff like how levies work, or that sales tax is comprised of lots of little parts. Since sales tax is always a big part of my quarterly reports, I thought I’d explain a little more about local sales tax. The “base” rate for sales tax in Washington is 6.5 percent. That’s the state amount, and all of it goes to the state – unless they choose to give it back, as in two cases described below. Counties and cities are allowed to add an additional 1 percent “local option” tax. Only one county – Klickitat – has not adopted the full 1 percent allowed. So effectively, the base rate in Washington is 7.5 percent. The current rate in San Juan County is 8.1 percent (King County is 9.5 percent). So how did we get from 7.5 to 8.1 percent? Counties are allowed to add other components to sales tax, some by public vote, some by council action. Unlike the 1 percent local option tax, all are restricted to specific uses. The first two addons were adopted by the old Board of County Commissioners in 1995 and 1996: 0.1 percent for criminal justice purposes, and 0.1 percent for jail and juvenile detention purposes. Those brought our county sales tax rate to 7.7 percent, where it stayed until 2008. In December of 2008 Council adopted the 0.1 percent mental health sales tax, which may be used only for mental health and substance abuse programs. Then in November of 2012, the public voted to add a 0.3 percent public safety tax. Forty percent of the public safety tax must be shared among the cities and towns in the county; in our case, that means that the whole forty percent all goes to the Town of Friday Harbor. Both the county and the town are required to use at least one-third of the proceeds to provide criminal justice or fire protection services. That gets us to 8.1 percent but there’s more. In addition to the 8.1 percent sales tax, guests of our local lodging establishments pay

another 2 percent “lodging tax.” Actually, the total lodging tax is 4 percent. The first 2 percent of it is distributed to the County out of the State’s 6.5 percent. The second 2 percent is added to the 8.1 percent so lodging guests pay a total of 10.1 percent sales tax on their accommodations. Advised by a local Lodging Tax Advisory Committee, the council uses all of the lodging tax revenues to support tourism or to promote San Juan County as a travel destination. Another, sort of “invisible,” sales tax revenue is the .09 percent rural sales and use tax, which is distributed to small counties of low population density. Nobody “pays” this tax; rather, like the first 2 percent lodging tax, it is distributed out of the state’s 6.5 percent. The money must be used on capital projects belonging to public entities, and must encourage economic development. With all that at stake, you can see why I worry about sales tax revenue. So buy local. We need the money.

A new policy approved at the OPALCO Board’s July 18 meeting opens the door for nonprofit organizations to collaborate with the co-op to create new opportunities for energy efficiency, conservation and renewable energy production in San Juan County. OPALCO’s current Energy Efficiency and Conservation program, funded by the Bonneville Power Administration, provides benefits to members in the way of rebates and incentives, but it is limited by a constraint that the member home or business must be heated with electricity. Policy 28 will serve to accelerate energy efficiency and conservation measures

by inviting qualified participating nonprofits to seek grant funding for programs, incentives and education opportunities without that constraint. “Our goal is to better serve our members and reduce our co-op energy load by making best use of the resources available in the region,” said OPALCO General Manager Randy Cornelius. “We have a real talent pool in San Juan County: smart, creative and experienced people who – we hope – will help us to develop new ideas and funding avenues for education, outreach and greater energy efficiency.” OPALCO’s Member Owned Renewable Energy

Program includes 113 local renewable generators, interconnected to OPALCO’s distribution system. Policy 28 will also open the door for more local renewable power through community solar and other grant-funded activities and incentives. OPALCO is currently investigating whether any of their properties would be an appropriate site for a community solar installation. If so, a qualified nonprofit could install, maintain and manage a solar generator with many community members sharing in the investment – and energy credits produced. To qualify, organizations must be an independent nonprofit entity

under Washington State Law, be self-funding and governed by a board and advisors drawn from all of the ferry-served islands in OPALCO’s service area. OPALCO will contract with qualified nonprofits through a Memorandum of Understanding that establishes the scope of work and standards. Policy 28 and the MOU are available online at www. opalco.com. Interested nonprofits can also contact Bev Madan (bmadan@opalco. com) for more information.

CAO FROM 1 William Wright, San Juan Builders Association and Friends of the San Juans, together raised 90 different issues that were ruled upon by the Hearings Board. In the end, the Hearings Board sided with 10 points contested by Friends of the San Juans. “The Growth Board’s decision gives the county another opportunity to adequately protect critical areas like wetlands,

streams, and shorelines,” Friends Executive Director Stephanie Buffum said. “Although we disagree with some portions of the decision, we agree with the Growth Board that the islands’ fish and wildlife need realistic buffers for clean water and habitat to house them.” The local environmental advocacy group will be examining the ruling closely and weighing its options, Buffum said. The ruling by the Hearings Board can be con-

tested by any party involved in the litigation. The county will have until March 5, 2014 to revise the elements of the CAO that don’t comply with state law; a compliance hearing is slated for April 24, 2014. “These dates work well because the existing ordinances will become effective on March 1, 2014,” Gaylord said.

to St. Joseph Hospital in Bellingham for further evaluation. About an hour later, responders were notified that a man who was paragliding “crash landed” along the roadway in Deer Harbor because of a wind change. Other news and events announced at the meeting included Orcas Cares Team decision to host the FD Cares Team from Kent Regional Fire Authority on Sept. 24 and 25 to learn and explore cooperative efforts. Orcas Cares is a partnership program created to assist seniors and disabled people. “I’m very excited about this program,” said Fire Commissioner Jim Coffin. O’Brien announced that Orcas Community Church Assistant Pastor Scott Harris

will be OIFR’s new chaplain. It was also announced at the meeting that District Financial Officer Sally Kass has given notice for resignation. O’Brien said she will continue to work with the department until they find a replacement. As for the 2014 budget, O’Brien said preliminary numbers should be released in the near future. The fire chief said some factors that will influence it include OIFR’s operations budget, which is increasing along with their training requirements. He also mentioned the 20 percent increase in call volume as another factor. “We are projecting that to grow,” he said.

Process changed for fire violations The San Juan County Fire Marshal’s office has changed the procedure for issuing illegal burn citations, reverting back to how it was three years ago. The fire marshal and deputy fire marshal can no longer issue citations on scene. Incidents are handled with education and in some cases reported to the prosecuting attorney, who decides whether or not to proceed with charges. “Under normal circumstances, if a violation of the county’s fire code is observed, the first response is education,” said San Juan County Fire Marshal Steve Marler. “Almost everyone responds well to friendly advice.” On those occasions when someone continues to disregard the fire code, responders can send information on to the prosecuting attorney (the preferred method) or call the sheriff’s office to assess the situation – if it is considered life-threatening. Deputies have the ability to write a citation, but Marler says that is rare. “I’ve been in the fire service since 1976, and involved in fire prevention since 1979. In all of that time, I have found it necessary to issue a citation just once,” Marler said. “Almost every other time, friendly education solved the issue.” – Colleen Smith Armstrong

‘Transforming our Dying’ Orcas Crossroads Lecture Series will host Barbara Coombs Lee, who will present “Transforming Our Dying” on Sunday, Sept. 22 at 4 p.m. at Orcas Center. It’s never too early to think about the end of your life. That’s the philosophy of Compassion and Choices, a national organization that was created in 2003. Lee is president of this organization whose goal is to improve care and expand choice at life’s end. She was an author of Oregon’s Death With

Dignity Act, campaigned for its passage and defended it from legal and political challenge. She calls on the Baby Boomer generation to challenge Medicine’s death phobia, lead it away from end-of-life technological boondoggles and allow people to choose more graceful, responsible and life-affirming experiences. How can we take charge and control our own last chapters? Come with your questions for the Q & A session after the lecture, and join us for a reception following the

Classical songs and arias Orcas soprano Sharon Abreu to perform solo concert by CALI BAGBY

Staff reporter

hen opera emerged in the 16th century, did audience members think this music would still be performed 450 years later? With the invention of so many mediums that produce a wide array of music, it is somewhat of a miracle that opera managed to survive century after century. For local classical soprano Sharon Abreu, the value of keeping this music alive is just part of what makes her passionate about opera. “For me, more than the historical importance is the joy of it. Styles of music have gone out of the repertoire and then were rediscovered many years later,” she said. “I feel lucky to live in a time where you can get up and perform any style of music, and there’s centuries of great repertoire to choose from.” Abreu, shown right, will present “Moon, Sun, Stars and Rainbows: classical songs and arias to delight and inspire” at the Orcas Center, Saturday, Sept. 21, 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25, $19 for center members and $11 for students.

Abreu has sung as a soloist with Orchestra Seattle and the Seattle Chamber Singers and with the Orcas Choral Society. She has recently been appointed the vocal coach for the society. She also starred in the musical “The Taffetas” at Orcas Center and has performed in the One World Music Festivals. The local soprano will offer an array of songs and arias in English, Italian, French, German and Spanish, from Mozart and Puccini, to Samuel Barber and Jake Heggie. Abreu even reaches back to “Sweet Bird” from Handel’s “Il Penseroso,” which was composed in 1740, the year before he composed “The Messiah.” Islanders who have attended Abreu’s Brown Bag concerts at the Emmanuel Episcopal Church will not be surprised to hear the singer diverging into new territory. One unique song at the show will be her original setting of Jack Prelutsky’s poem “The Dragons are Singing Tonight.” “The music is classically influenced, and the poem is totally delightful,” she said. Bill Griswold, Mike Hurwicz and Cynthia and Craig Abolin will join her on this song. Other special guests

will join her for some duets including Grace McCune for the “Flower Duet” from Delibes’ opera “Lakme.” Linda Slone will play flute on Handel’s “Sweet Bird” and Gounod’s “Sing, Smile and Slumber.” Pamela Wright, who Abreu describes as “our wonderful public school music teacher” will play violin on two of the songs. Cellist Karen Fardal, who played in the orchestra for Mozart’s Requiem on Orcas, will play for a few pieces. Sasha Hagen will play violin on two other songs. Hagen was Abreu’s student when she taught music at the Salmonberry School. Marianne Lewis will accompany Abreu on the piano. “Many of the songs are under three minutes and I think of them like little pieces of candy that you savor and then they just melt away,” said Abreu.

Soaring on the stage Whale of a Show helps kids get their performance wings by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG

Editor/Publisher

idier Gincig has been watching kids grow up on the center stage for close to a decade. As the organizer of Whale of a Show, Gincig has brought together youth of all ages to perform. “It’s an opportunity for the kids to be on stage but without several months of rehearsal,” he said. “We don’t call it a Whale of a Show for nothing. It’s really fun.” The talent show is on Saturday, Sept. 28, 6:30 p.m. at

Orcas Center. Tickets are $8. All proceeds benefit the center’s youth programs. Tickets are available at www.orcascenter.org or call 376-ACT1. Gincig and his daughter Emilie have hosted the show since its inception. “It’s been great watching her grow up and be more comfortable on the stage,” Didier said. The show is open to kids ages three to 18; family acts are encouraged this year. The talents showcased include singing, dancing, musicianship, and skits. Auditions are at Orcas Center on Friday, Sept. 20

from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 22 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Many of the acts are returning favorites like 15-year-old Sasha Hagen, a violinist. “We watch them go from little kids picking up an instrument to very accomplished musicians,” said Didier, who loves being back stage with the performers. “I am happy to be one of the conduits for the kids to get up there.” Didier says audience enthusiasm is part of what makes the show such a wonderful experience for the young performers.

NOTICE AND SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON FOR SAN JUAN COUNTY SAN JUAN COUNTY, a duly organized County of the State of Washington, Plaintiff vs. John R Messinger and each and every lot, tract or parcel of real property herein described; and each and every person herein named as owner of said property; or any part thereof, and each and every person having or claiming to have any right, title, lien or interest in, or upon, said real property, or any part thereof by, through or under said named owner, or owners, and all persons unknown, if any, having or claiming to have any right, title, lien or interest or estate in, to, or upon, said real property, or any part thereof. Defendants. CAUSE NO. 13 2 05173 8 THE STATE OF WASHINGTON TO THE SAID DEFENDANTS: 1. A lawsuit has been started against the property which you own or in which you may have an interest, described herein, to foreclose the real property tax lien of San Juan County. 2. San Juan County is the owner and holder of Certificate of Delinquency No. 13 2 05173 8, amended September 4, 2013, issued as shown on Exhibit A hereto, for delinquent real

property taxes for 2009 through 2013 or prior years, interest, penalties, and foreclosure costs owed on the real property described herein as of September 1, 2013. 3. In order to defend against this foreclosure lawsuit, you must: a) Appear and defend this action by answering this Notice and Summons in writing within thirty (30) days after the date of first publication of this Notice and Summons, exclusive of the date of first publication. Your answer must be in writing and must specify the particular cause of objection to foreclosure; or, b) In the alternative to filing an answer, you must pay the amount due for taxes, interest, penalties and foreclosure costs. 4. If you wish to seek the advice of an attorney in this matter, you should do so promptly so that your written answer, if any, may be served on time. 5. San Juan County will apply to the San Juan County Superior Court for a judgment foreclosing its lien for taxes and an order to sell the property against which judgment is rendered. If you fail to answer or pay the amount due, judgment will be entered against the property without notice, foreclosing the lien for taxes, interest, penalties and foreclosure costs against the land and premises described therein. The judgment would be against the property and not a personal judgment against you. 6. If judgment is rendered against the property, it will be ordered to be sold at public auction. The property against which judgment is rendered will be sold unless redeemed prior to the close of business December 17, 2013, the last business day before the day of sale. The sale is scheduled and will be by public auction on Wednesday, December 18, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. or as soon thereafter as may be practicable in theLobby of the San Juan County Courthouse at 350 Court Street, in Friday Harbor, Washington. The sale may be continued from time to time and place to place. 7. The property may be redeemed from foreclosure, and sale of the property avoided, by paying all delinquent taxes, interest, penalties and foreclosure costs before the close of business December 17, 2013, the last business day before the public auction. The payment must be by cash, cashier’s check or money order payable to the San Juan County Treasurer. Foreclosure costs are estimated to be $2,325.00 plus approximately $400.00 for the cost of a title search for each parcel of real property having a separate tax account number. 8. There is no right of redemption on the day of or after the public auction. If you do not redeem the property from foreclosure and are the record owner of the property on the day of issuance of the Certificate of Delinquency, then you are entitled to any sale proceeds which exceed the taxes, interest, penalties, foreclosure costs and outstanding local improvement assessments. 9. Interest accrues at the rate of 12% per year. Pursuant to RCW 84.56.020, a penalty of 3% of the full year 2013 amount of tax unpaid was assessed June 1, 2013 and a penalty of 8% of the full year 2013 amount of tax unpaid will be assessed on December 1, 2013, if the property is not redeemed by then. 10. Exemption for elderly and disabled: This action will not be continued against your property if you are eligible for deferral of taxes (RCW Chapter 84.38) due to age or disability, and you file a declaration to defer taxes in accordance with the requirements of the chapter. The Assessor’s Office can assist you in filing the declaration. 11. You may obtain further information regarding the matters set forth above, including the total amount of delinquent taxes, interest, penalties,

and foreclosure costs payable at the time of redemption, and a full, unabbreviated legal description of this property, by contacting the San Juan County Treasurer, Foreclosure Deputy, 350 Court Street, P.O.
