Songs of love and loss ORCAS MAN RELEASES FIRST ALBUM WITH MARTIN LUND
The following was submitted by the San Juan Preservation Trust. The owner of an Anacortes bed and breakfast establishment has agreed to pay a $100,000 settlement for illegally clear-cutting a waterfront nature preserve on Fidalgo Island. The nature preserve, which is owned by the San Juan Preservation Trust, a private land trust that protects open space throughout the San Juan Islands, is situated on a steep slope between the bed and breakfast and the shoreline. It is presumed that the owner of the bed and breakfast ordered the removal of all of the trees from a one-quarter acre area extending from the top of the bank down to the beach in order to enhance the views from his establishment. This action damaged shoreline wildlife habitat and destabilized the steep bank by eliminating native vegetation and undermining its natural water drainage patterns. The clear-cut property is part of the Preservation Trust’s 1.25-mile long “John H. Geary Shoreline Preserve,” a 38-acre collection of 22 contiguous parcels along the west side of Fidalgo Island that was permanently conserved in 1992 by a coalition of neighbors concerned about a proposed development along this steep hillside. The preserve follows Fidalgo’s western shoreline beginning north of Sunset Lane, continuing around Edith Point, and then proceeding south toward Biz Point.

When Jim Connell asked Martin Lund for piano lessons back in 2007, Lund was skeptical of his commitment. Connell insisted – he wanted to work on his song-writing. “Martin said, ‘Why don’t you sit down and play one?’” remembers Connell. “I thought I was going to die. My hands were shaking. When I was done, Martin said, ‘That’s a nice song.’” Seven years later, Lund is still teasing Connell about the “three-chord songs” he used to write. Accompanied by other island artists, the two have recorded an album called “Early Lessons.” The 10 songs composed by Connell feature Lund on piano, flute and saxophone accompanied by Connell with other Orcas friends on piano, guitar, trumpet, acoustic bass, trombone and drums. Darvill’s Bookstore will host a CD release event for “Early Lessons” on July 10 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Connell began writing songs in 1968 at a Catholic boys’ summer camp. He dropped out of Yale to go play rock ‘n roll and began playing in a country rock band called Milkweed, which made a demo album. “It wasn’t picked up by the big distributors, so that part ended for 40 years,” Connell says. He had a career in education reform on the East Coast before moving to Orcas in 2007 and kept
playing and writing for special occasions, but did very little musically until a confluence of events lit the proverbial fire under his piano fingers. To start with, life was getting rough. Connell’s beloved wife Cristine was battling cancer, and work was stressful. “I just needed something, to be in a different place, and the music really helped me channel my emotions and feelings about what was going on,” Connell said. He also encountered what he calls “a steamroller of talent”: he attended one of Martin Lund’s One World Music festivals, and shortly thereafter heard Gershwin’s “Rhapsody In Blue” performed at the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival. “The combination of those two things just sort of pushed me into saying, ‘I’ve got to go back and take music more seriously,’” he said. He practiced daily and studied twice weekly with Lund, who pushed him to practice piano technique and to learn music theory and history to enrich his own songwriting. Two years ago Connell found solace in his music as he said a final goodbye to Cristine, his partner of 35 years. “Early Lessons” is a tender eulogy to Cristine, telling stories of loss and recovery. Connell has

Moran bike trail proposed
The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is holding a public meeting on Orcas Island to discuss a proposal to develop a mountain bike trail in Moran State Park. The meeting is from 6 to 7 p.m. on Monday, July 21 at the Eastsound Fire Station. The public will have the opportunity to comment during the meeting and by email. Washington State Parks is looking at long-term management options at Moran State Park as Orcas Power and Light Cooperative transitions away from the current utility corridor there. Parks has received a proposal from Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance for formal development of a trail that will follow the alignment of the power line corridor. The developed trail would use an existing trail and the power line access road. For more information about the proposal, contact Andrew Fielding, environmental planner, at (509) 665-4312. Email comments may be addressed to: andrew.fielding@parks.wa.gov.

The Actors Theater announces the second play in their “Summer at Random Howse” Readers Theater/Dinner Theater series. Next up is Jeffrey Hatcher’s award winning play “Three Viewings.” “Three Viewings” consists of three monologues set in a Midwestern funeral parlor over a three-day weekend. “Tell-tale” is the story of Emil (played by Chris Evans), the mild-mannered
undertaker whose unspoken passion for a local realestate woman leads him to commit crimes and plot a way to confess his true feelings before time—and bodies—run out. “The Thief of Tears” is Mac (Suzanne Gropper), a beautiful Los Angeles drifter, who makes her living stealing jewelry from corpses. “Thirteen Things about Carpolotti” is the story of Virginia (Patty Monaco),

Jack, known as the “blind visionary,” has won the 2014 Mayor of Eastsound race. He ran against several other dogs and a cat. The annual fundraiser brought in $7,600 for Children’s House. On July 4th, islanders enjoyed the Orcas Historical Museum’s “Celebration on the Green” with an auction, music, vendors and a logging show by the Harvey family, who also served as the Grand Marshals of the Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce’s parade on July 5. There were over 50 registered entries for the parade. The overall winner, best representing our theme – “Neighbors Helping Neighbors” – was the OPAL Community Land Trust’s entry. They received $100 from the chamber. Showing unique creative qualities, two entries were selected for runner-up recognition: The Friends of Moran, and Orcas Island School District’s "Tardy Queen" float. They each received a $50 gift certificate from Island Market. Honorable mention goes to entries from Orcas Stitch and Gossip, Orcas Island Senior Center, and OPALCO’s Project Pal.

Farm freshness for families Many young families will be getting an extra boost this summer, thanks to the Orcas Farmers’ Market, Orcas Island Community Foundation, the Washington State Woman, Infants and Children Program, and Orcas Family Connections. This collaboration of resources and efforts will provide eligible WIC families with up to $40 of farm fresh foods from the Orcas Farmers’ Market. These market dollars are in addition to the monthly nutri-
tional assistance WIC provides to insure there are healthy foods on family tables. The WIC program works to improve lifelong health and nutrition for pregnant women, breast feeding women and children under the age of five. Eligibility depends on household size and income. Occasionally over the summer months, WIC can provide Farmers’ Market Checks in addition to families’ monthly checks. This year, more Orcas fami-
lies qualified for these seasonal checks than WIC is able to fund. Thanks to a grant from the Orcas Island Community Foundation, every WIC family gets to participate in this win-winwin collaborative effort to strengthen the health and well-being of our young families. For more information, or to see if your family can participate, call Health & Community Services at 378-4474.
12-hour communications outage last week A contractor working for OPALCO dug into a CenturyLink fiber cable in Friday Harbor and put 911 and long-distance phone services out of service for about 12 hours on Wednesday, July 2. Homes, businesses and public agencies on the islands that receive internet service from providers other than CenturyLink were unaffected by the outage. However, CenturyLink is the largest provider of traditional telephone service (the so-called “land-line”) in the San Juans. Technical staff and management from OPALCO and CenturyLink worked cooperatively to repair the broken fiber. An investigation is underway into the adequacy of the utility location services which are always performed before digging. Emergency 911 calling was back online as of 9 p.m. and long-distance telephone and internet service was restored about 90 minutes later. “We apologize to all those inconvenienced,” said Assistant General Manager Foster Hildreth, “and send our gratitude to the team who worked late into the night to make repairs so that the outage didn’t extend into the holiday weekend.” Island Fire and EMS departments responded to the outage with on-call paramedics, door-to-door public awareness calls and additional stand-by volunteers. In case of a 911 outage, San Juan County residents are encouraged to try the land line number for their island or go to the fire station for help. It’s also important to check on your neighbors and anyone you know who may be at risk. The OPALCO Cares network at island ferry landings is an additional safety net for connection via the Internet. Thursday’s outage, reminiscent of, but much shorter than the 10-day loss of communications in November, lasted roughly 12 hours. Technicians continue to monitor the repair of the recently cut cable, according to CenturyLink.
Get ready for Olga Daze Much is happening to get ready for Olga Daze, which takes place in Olga on Saturday, July 19 beginning at 10 a.m. There will be food, bargains, music and, new this year, a beer garden.

How did this get to Orcas?
New exhibit at Orcas Historical Museum entitled ‘Flotsam and Jetsam’ by COLLEEN S. ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher
Humans have the collecting gene hard-wired into their DNA. “Countless generations have collected food, tools and art for thousands of years,” said Orcas Historical Museum Director Clark McCabe. “From survivalist to pickers to connoisseurs, we love collecting our ‘stuff.’” The museum is highlighting its “curiosities” of Orcas Island treasures in a new exhibit entitled “Flotsam and Jetsam – How on Earth did this get to Orcas?” It opens July 11 and runs through October 1. Visitors can examine items like a life ring from the Mosquito Fleet steamer S.S. Mohawk, a Native American racing canoe paddle and a walrus tusk found on the Bering Sea side of the Aleutian Peninsula across from King Cove in 1915. McCabe says one of the exhibit’s most intriguing objects is a hand-carved mantel piece. It was gift from a Chinese man who had been tossed overboard by smugglers when the Coast Guard revenue cutter was approaching. Ethan Allen found him the next morning on a local beach and nursed him back to life. In gratitude, he carved Allen the mantel piece out of local cedar. “We include the weird and the wonderful that island visitors and locals have collected in their travels and brought to Orcas,” McCabe said. “Have you ever seen a Billy club or Shore Patrol baton from the U.S.S. Maine? We have one ... all of this is just really cool stuff.” The Orcas Island Historical Society’s first museum consisted of artifacts displayed on the front porch of a pioneer family’s home. Property for a permanent museum site

In the 1950s and 1960s, various island families donated six original homestead cabins built during the 1870s and the 1890s. Volunteers disassembled the structures, moved them to Eastsound and then reconstructed and linked them together to create the main museum facility. These cabins are now more than 100 years old, and not only house the collections, but are considered important historical artifacts in themselves. Today, the museum has a permanent collection of 6,000 objects, paper documents and photographs.
From May to September, the museum is open WedsSat from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 3 p.m. “Here at the museum we and our esteemed predecessors have collected to preserve, to educate, to inspire, to document and to chronicle our history,” McCabe said.

Editorial What the Supreme Court ruling means for us
H
ere at the Sounder, we pride ourselves on covering news that pertains to our communities. And sometimes there is a national news story that has local implications. On June 30, the Supreme Court struck down a component of the Affordable Care Act, ruling that family-owned businesses do not have to offer their employees contraceptive coverage if it conflicts with the owners’ religious beliefs. In the words of Justice Ruth Ginsburg: “The court, I fear, has ventured into a minefield.” In her dissent, she also wrote: “Suppose an employer’s sincerely held religious belief is offended by health coverage of vaccines, or paying the minimum wage or according women equal pay for substantially similar work?” We are deeply saddened by the Supreme Court’s decision. We think it is a major step backwards in the separation of church and state and in strengthening preventative care for unwanted pregnancy. But we would like to remind everyone about Washington state’s stance on contraceptives and explain how the pill is covered by the ACA. In our state, all minors are allowed to get birth control without their parents’ consent. Also through a Planned Parenthood program called Take Charge, women, men and teens can get birth control, medical exams and counseling about when or if to have children – all free of charge if you qualify. In addition, if you have health coverage through the ACA – anywhere in the country – you can receive free birth control prescriptions. This is considered preventative care under the new ACA health care laws. And if you work for a company that does NOT have religious objections to contraceptives and you are on its insurance plan, you will receive birth control free of charge – your insurance must cover the full cost, by law. How many people this ruling will affect remains to be seen. According to the Washington Post, a Kaiser Family Foundation poll revealed that 85 percent of large employers already offered contraception coverage before the ACA required it. Some interesting background: from 2003 to 2005 Washington state launched a program that authorized pharmacists to provide birth control pills to women without a prescription from a physician. The conclusion was, “Community pharmacists can efficiently screen women for safe use of hormonal contraceptives and select appropriate products.” To read the full case study, go to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ pubmed/18359734. Maybe someday the United States will catch up to the other countries that currently offer birth control over the counter. But in the meantime, we are grateful that Washingtonians can prevent unwanted pregnancies with free contraceptives through Planned Parenthood.

To the Editor: Thank you from Orcas Open Golf The Second Annual Orcas Open Golf Tournament and Silent Auction was a great success! I would like to personally thank all of our donors for their contributions, although there are too many to name right here. Over 50 items were received for our silent auction, which made for excellent bids. It is with the committed participation of our island businesses and individuals that the Orcas Christian School was able to raise funds toward scholarships and sports programs. I have always felt that charity begins at home. Working with Orcas Christian School has shown me that our children value community service and participation in a way I could not imagine before. It is great that as we teach them to give to our island, our island is willing to give back in return. This is a powerful message, and I want each person who made a contribution to be proud of their donation, knowing that is does make a difference. I cannot adequately express

LETTERS FROM 4 known Joe the longest, and from my earliest memories, he was always easy going, thoughtful and kind. He was a great brother and family man, generous with his time and love, always helpful, always cheerful, rarely angry and ready to laugh and dance at any moment. I hope that Joe has responded to a higher calling in order to help all of us who are left behind to navigate the evil waters that lie ahead. One of the main principals of the Bahai faith, which Joe subscribed to, is that “Death is the messenger of joy.” What greater conclusion and reward can be expected from a life well lived on a planet distraught with human frailty and imperfection. Without a doubt Joe is in a happy and pain free place surrounded by friends and family who have transitioned before him. The only thing he can be reprimanded for is the wake of sadness we all feel due to his absence. He will be sorely and profoundly missed. “Deal with him, O Thou Who forgivest the sins of men and concealest their faults, as beseemeth the heaven of Thy bounty and the ocean of Thy grace. Grant him admission within the precincts of Thy transcendent mercy that was before the foundation of earth and heaven. There is no God but Thee, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Generous.” (Bahaullah) Reed Goodrich
Annual market Day is coming Each year for the past several years, our good friend David Gutteridge (whom we lovingly call the poet laureate of Emmanuel Episcopal Church) has written a poem in anticipation of Market Day, an over-thetop kind of tag sale/bake sale that the church has held on the last Saturday of July for as long as anyone
can remember. Here is this year’s offering.

Communications outage was unacceptable Is anyone out there (besides me) upset about not having any phone service on July 2? If you’ve lived here long enough you won’t miss the experience of being without CenturyLink and having internet. It’s like a power outage – almost always happens when you are awake. Remember last year? The broken underwater cable? That event gave the word “disrupted” new meaning. Not that it happened because cables break, but it took so long for the repairs. But back to the present. Today, I only needed to check in with my mother – not an emergency. “We’re sorry, all circuits are busy now – please try your call again later.” I drove into town to get reception for my AT&T cell phone. No

service. How could that be? What does AT&T have to do with CenturyLink? With plans A & B having failed, I drove to a friend’s home who has Verizon. Again, no service. This was getting wonky and a little scary. How could it be that they are all down? (A rhetorical question.) My mind tends to get over-active when there isn’t a logical explanation. Rumor from neighbor to neighbor: a cable was broken on Carter Street. A cable? What, are you kidding me? The big three all share one cable? Or the same trench? Imagine this conversation: “Please help me. I need an ambulance and Medivac to the mainland to save my life.”
Page 5
The reply: “We’re sorry, all circuits are busy now. (Please) try your call again later.” Fade to black. Wednesday was a wakeup-call for islanders – with three phone companies serving us, we still were completely cut off from communication with the outside world. We don’t deserve what could happen in a medical emergency. If we don’t demand change and get it, shame on us. Please take the time to notify your phone carrier(s) that what happened July 2 is not acceptable. One service down shouldn’t take out the other two. Separate phone carriers should be just that – for our protection. It’s a no-brainer. Claudia La Cava Friday Harbor
Grenades found in Rosario area
Two Orcas Island men cleaning out a storage unit in the Rosario area on Tuesday came across grenades and a rocket propelled grenade and called sheriff ’s deputies. Deputies secured the scene and called the Washington State Patrol Bomb Squad. Bomb technicians arrived Wednesday morning. A search of the scene turned up additional explosives, incendiary materials, military ordinance and components. Most of the items found were from the World War II era. The WSP Bomb Squad called the military, and a US Navy Explosive Ordinance Disposal team responded from Whidbey Island. Several items were “made safe” by the technicians. Other military hardware along with explosive and incendiary materials were removed by WSP and Navy EOD. The contents of the storage unit belonged to a recently deceased Orcas Island man. It was being cleaned out upon request of his estate. No further investigation is planned.

“No one likes to seek legal remedy, but this community worked very hard to protect this shoreline,” said Keith Gerrard, president of the San Juan Preservation Trust’s board of trustees. “We have a responsibility to defend all of our nature preserves in perpetuity, and we won’t shy away from that commitment.” The Preservation Trust, which has agreed to drop a pending lawsuit, intends to use funds from the settlement to restore lost vegetation, re-stabilize the steep bank, educate upland neighbors about the nature preserve, and implement new strategies to avoid future violations.

Beware Cemetery District of new explains services phone scam
Orcas Power and Light Cooperative issued the following statement: Do not respond to any calls from people claiming to disconnect your power if you don’t immediately pay by credit card over the phone. It is a scam.
San Juan County Cemetery District #3 owns and operates two cemeteries on Orcas Island: Woodlawn Cemetery, located on West Beach road down past Island Hardware and Mt. Baker Cemetery, located on Mt.

The Cemetery District was formed by the vote of Orcas Island residents and property owners in 1985. Woodlawn Cemetery was the original cemetery for which the district was formed. In 2009, Mt. Baker Cemetery was accepted as a donation to the district. Woodlawn offers plots for memorial markers, full casket burials, urn burials, and can even respond to “green burials.” In addition to full plots, which can accommodate a number of urn burials and a casket, Woodlawn also offers smaller single urn plots. Mt. Baker Cemetery is restricted to urn burials and memorial markers only – no casket or green burials. Reference books with maps and plot listings are available at both cemeteries and at the Orcas Island Library – or you can contact the clerk (360-472-1573 or clerk@orcascemetery.org), or visit www.orcascemetery. org. There are many plots still available at both cemeteries to serve Orcas for generations to come. The district board consists of three commissioners, each elected to a sixyear term. The current commissioners are: Pierrette Guimond, Joyce Nigretto, and Patricia Resch. The public is welcome at the meetings, which are at the library on the first Wednesday of every month.

Kiko (Francis B.) Harrison passed away peacefully in Caldwell, Texas on Feb. 20, 2014. He was born in 1921 in the Philippines, where his father was the governor-general. When he was three weeks old his father retired from politics and his family moved to Scotland. He also lived in England, France and Switzerland as a child, then started college at Cambridge. When WWII began to encroach on England, nonBritish citizens were asked to leave the country, so he moved to the United States at the age of 19. He graduated from Princeton, then had a difficult decision to make. A pacifist at heart, he decided that America’s involvement in WWII was morally valid. He took a commission in the Navy, and was the targeting officer on the submarine USS Flasher, which sank the most tonnage of Japanese
ships during the war. After the war he returned to Princeton for his PhD in physics. He worked for TRW and Los Alamos National Lab, then moved to Orcas Island after he retired. This was without a doubt the happiest time of his life. He cherished his wife Kamala and their many wonderful friends on Orcas, who helped him break out of his innate introversion. He worked in friends’ gardens, went for many long walks and thoroughly loved the wildlife. He wrote a book entitled “Love, Sex, Marriage” to help young

people make wiser choices. He was a passionate advocate for improved education and developed a phonetic alphabet. He supported many liberal causes, and was writing a very carefully researched book on how to improve life in the U.S. When Kamala developed worsening heart failure, he spent his last 10 years on Orcas taking loving and devoted care of her. After she passed away in 2012 he moved to Texas to be near his daughter, Leslie. This kind, gentle, wise soul passed on with his daughter Michelle stroking his forehead as he took his last breath. He is survived by his children: Peter, Charles, Cary, Leslie and Michelle, as well as eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

SeaDoc looks at crab larvae Concert in the park July 13 to understand population

SeaDoc is looking for Dungeness crab larvae to study. by JACQ ZIER
Special to the Sounder
Dungeness crab fisheries are some of the most important in the Salish Sea. In Washington state alone, the fishery has an annual average value of about $20 million. Unfortunately there’s a little more work to do to better understand crab reproduction so we can make sure the population thrives while we serve up this delicious crustacean for dinner. Researchers from SeaDoc and the UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory in California are looking for local Dungeness crab larvae, called megalopae, to better understand population dynamics and crab fishery cycles. Ultimately this will help us understand what oceanographic conditions are good for crab catching as well. The SeaDoc Society is looking for help from

sharp-sighted beachgoers in finding Dungeness crab megalopae for this study. The tiny megalopae are 5-8 mm in length and look like a very small floating crab about the size of a pencil eraser. They might be spotted swarming near the surface of the water by people walking on beaches or docks. The making of megalopae begins when a female Dungeness crab releases a pheromone before she molts. Dungeness crabs can mate nearly year round, but only while females are softshelled. When a keen male picks up her scent, he lifts her up with his claws, carrying her around for hours sometimes, to make sure he is there the instant she begins to molt. Once she has sloughed off her old shell, he deposits his sperm, which she stores until her 2.5 million eggs are fully
developed and fertilized. Afterwards, the male protects his mate from other suitors for several days by carrying her around with him. A female can store sperm for up to two years and may use sperm from one mating event for several batches of eggs. In the following months, the eggs hatch and embark on a metamorphosis through different larval stages. They first resemble small, planktonic shrimp while in the zoea stages. These larvae then undergo months of development in the ocean before they flock to sites close to the shore for a final larval stage known as the megalopae. Megalopae resemble tiny crabs and eventually move to live on the sea floor. It will take three to four more years for these crabs to mature to a harvestable size. A permit is required for megalopae collection, so please call the SeaDoc Society office (360-3763910) to report megalopae sightings. Jacq Zier, a 4th year student at Colgate University, is a 2011 graduate of Orcas Island High School. As a SeaDoc summer intern in 2013 she published an article on harbor seals in the Encyclopedia of Puget Sound and conducted research on threatened and endangered species in the Salish Sea. This summer she is writing a scientific monograph on harbor porpoise.

“En plein air,” a French expression for “in the open air,” has been practiced for centuries, but became popular with the help of French Impressionists. Plein air painters set up their equipment on location and, in the limited amount of time they have, capture the essence of the scene that inspires them before the sun moves too far and changes the light completely. “Everything that is painted directly and on the spot has always a strength, a power, a vivacity of touch, which one cannot recover in the studio... three strokes of a brush in front of nature are worth more than two days of work at the easel,” wrote Eugene Boudin, one of the first French landscape painters to paint outdoors.

Orcas Center annual gala celebrates all things French
by CALI BAGBY
T
Assistant editor
he last year at the Orcas Center has featured a wide span of theatrics from the lively cabaret of “Enchanted Forest” to the British mystery “39 Steps” to the heartwrenching yet spectacular “Moulin Rogue” performance. In the spirit of these performances, the Orcas Center’s Annual gala has a French theme to celebrate the European flair of recent shows. To celebrate everything French there will be a magician, bohemians, musicians, fine food, wine and fun at the gala. “We love a theatrical flare,” said Orcas Center Director Kara O’Toole. “We also love to have a costume inspiration for folks who like to dress up and be a part of the theatrics.” The 28th Annual Orcas Center Gala and Auction fundraiser is on Saturday, July 19 and starts at 5 p.m. with hors d’oeuvres, wine and cabaret performances, ending well into the night.
Tickets are available now by contacting Orcas Center at 376-2281 ext. 1 or www. orcascenter.org. Auction items include island trips, wine, dinner excursions and beautiful artwork. All the items will be listed at www.orcascenter.org. The evening’s French menu will be crafted by local chef Christina Orchid. “She is inspired … French food is her favorite and when Christina is on fire there is nothing like it,” said O’Toole. Local performers that are often highlighted in community performances will lend their talents to the gala. The lively troupe includes Jake Perrine as the emcee, Grace McCune as the chanteuse or singer and Christopher Evans as the maître d’. There will be performances by this author, Kellen Comrie, Matthew Laslo-White, Maria Bullock, Martin Lund, Laura Ludwig and local dancers. “We want to give people a taste and leave them wanting more,” said McCune, who is also the artistic director for the gala. “We
also want to lift people’s spirits in a way that they can connect with performers.” After directing this year’s “Moulin Rouge,” McCune was able to see how important it is to bring the community together for the arts. More than 100 islanders helped make the “Moulin Rogue” sparkle. Many of the singers performed for the first time for the show. “The show inspired people to remember and experience a sense of community theater,” said McCune. “It was beautiful.” The gala is Orcas Center’s biggest fundraiser and helps to keep it running. “It’s extremely important to our continued health,” said O’Toole. “We always try and out-do ourselves and create a night that people won’t forget. It’s not your average auction. It’s a full theatrical evening.” Add McCune: “You will be in for a lot of surprises.”

Nancy Pearl is back
If you'd like your summer reading to take you beyond the beaten path, librarian Nancy Pearl is here to help. Everyone’s go-to books guru is coming to Orcas to reveal “under the radar” reads – books she thinks deserve more attention than they've been getting – and recommend some great summer reads. Join us as we welcome Nancy on Wednesday, July 16 at 1:30 p.m. in the Victorian Room at the Outlook Inn in Eastsound. Nancy Pearl is a regular commentator about books on NPR’s Morning Edition and NPR affiliate stations KUOW in Seattle and KWGS in Tulsa. The New York Times calls her “the talk of librarian circles.” Readers can’t get enough of her recommendations and bookstores and libraries offer standing room only whenever she visits.
Since the release of the best-selling “Book Lust” in 2003 and the Librarian Action Figure modeled in her likeness, Nancy Pearl has become a rock-star among readers and the taste-maker people turn to when deciding what to read next. Having worked as a librarian and bookseller in Detroit, Tulsa, and Seattle, Pearl’s knowledge of and love for books is unmatched. In 1998, she developed the program “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book,” which spread across the country, even inspiring a similar event on Orcas. The former Executive Director of the Washington Center for the Book, Pearl celebrates the written word by speaking at bookstores and libraries across the country and on her monthly television program “Book Lust” with Pearl on the Seattle Channel.

In 2004, Pearl became the 50th winner of the Women’s National Book Association Award for her extraordinary contribution to the world of books. In the moments when Pearl finds herself without a book, she is an avid bicyclist and the happy grandmother of two. She lives in Seattle with her husband, Joe. “We know what a great reading population we have here on Orcas, generally ranking in the top three libraries per capita in the state of Washington for circulation,” said Orcas Librarian Kathleen Lunde. “Come join us and show Nancy what enthusiastic readers we really are.” This event is sponsored by the Orcas Island Library and The Friends of the Library, and is free of charge. There will be a chance to purchase books and have them autographed by Nancy, and they will be raffling off signed copies of some of the recommended books. For more information, contact Lunde at the library at 376-4985.
The setting is Las Vegas 1960 for a tale of power, vice and corruption in the Metropolitan Opera’s smashing contemporary production of Verdi’s masterwork, “Rigoletto.” This screening at Orcas Center Saturday, July 12 at 7:30 p.m. kicks off the 2014 Summer Encore series. Tony Award-winning director Michael Mayer (“Spring Awakening”) makes his Met debut with a new production of Verdi’s “Rigoletto.” The new staging moves the opera’s tragic events from a decadent 16th-century Italian court
to the glitzy, depraved setting of the Las Vegas strip circa 1960. The boyishly exuberant tenor Piotr Beczala plays the Duke, an amoral lounge singer, as a Frank Sinatra-like playboy in a stylish white tuxedo. He grabs a microphone, fake, of course, and then sings the aria “Questa o quella” to a rowdy, decadent crowd at the Duke’s gaudy casino. The Duke’s entourage includes the world-weary comedian Rigoletto, sung by Serbian baritone Željko Lučić. German soprano Diana Damrau sings the
role of the innocent Gilda, Rigoletto’s daughter and the victim of the predatory Duke. This Verdi masterwork features one of the most famous arias in all of opera, “La donna è mobile.” Tickets for Rigoletto from The Met: Live in HD Summer Encores are $18 for adults, $13 for students, $2 off for Orcas Center members, and may be purchased at www.orcascenter. org or by calling 376-2281 ext. 1 or visiting the Orcas Center Box Office open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from noon to 4 pm.
Calling teen filmmakers This year the Funhouse Commons, the Orcas Center, and the Orcas Island Library are teaming up to participate in the Reel Youth Film Festival. Reel Youth, based in Vancouver B.C., is a not-for-profit group supporting youth, adults and organizations to create and distribute engaging films. On Friday, Oct. 10, in conjunction with the Orcas Island Film Festival, the Orcas Center will be hosting the Reel Youth “Best of Fest” based on the youth jury’s selections and will feature locally made films. Thanks to the Friends of the Orcas Island Library, the teens have a GoPro camera that they can check out after a short training session. Contact Holly at hking@orcaslibrary.org for more information. If teens are looking for some guidance into what goes into making a good film, from initial planning to editing, they can contact The Funhouse Commons to be connected to a film mentor. Local youth filmmakers have the chance to be juried into the International Festival in Vancouver B.C. The completed films must be submitted by August 31 to the Orcas Center. Call Kim at 376-7177 or email kim@thefunhouse.org if you have questions.

Island Scenes: celebrating place Free therapy Artists of all ages and skills who live in the San Juan Islands are asked to portray a contemporary scene that strikes them as “old island” and that they hope will be here in the future. You may submit: one image per person and it can be any two dimensional medium – photography, oil, pastel, watercolor, acrylic, etc. The matted or framed outside dimensions are minimum 8" x 10" to maximum 16” x 20” and need to be ready to hang. There is no jurying and no prizes. The deadline is Monday, July 14 to reserve space in the exhibit. Contact Emily Reed Geyman at 378-2750 or oatmeal@rockisland.com. They need to plan display space now but do not need artwork until August 12 when the exhibit will be set up.
Forage fish research project is underway on beaches Many people are surprised to learn that two kinds of marine fish, Pacific sand lance and surf smelt, use the upper portions of sand and gravel beaches to spawn and incubate their eggs. Smelt and sand lance are part of a small group of species of schooling fish known in our area as “forage fish’’ for the important role they play as food for larger fish, seabirds and marine mammals. Currently, spawn activity has been documented along 10 miles of San Juan County’s beaches, comprising just 4 percent of total shoreline length and 10 percent of the non-bedrock shores. “Because these fish rely on beaches for incubating their eggs, they are at risk from the impacts of shoreline development activities like vegetation removal and bulkhead installation.
Contributed photo
A volunteer surveys a local beach for forage fish eggs. Knowing which sites are used by forage fish helps us focus work with interested public and private property owners to protect or, in some cases, restore spawning habitat,” said Tina Whitman, science director at FRIENDS of the San Juans. With funding support from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the State Salmon Recovery Funding
Board, FRIENDS staff and trained volunteers are conducting additional surveys throughout the county. To date, seven previously unknown spawn sites have been mapped on Stuart, Sucia, Lopez, San Juan and Orcas and field work will continue through the end of the year. To learn more, volunteer, or request a survey for your beach, contact Tina Whitman at 378-2319.
Turtleback Brass to play Performing at the Brown Bag Concert at noon in Emmanuel Church on Wednesday, July 16 will be the all-Orcas Turtleback Brass Quintet. The five long-time friends formed the group in 2011 to enjoy collaborating on chamber music. The players include Steve Alboucq and Joe Babcock on trumpet, Craig Canine on E-flat horn, Molly Johnson on trombone and Dimitri Stankevich on tuba. The program will include an Orcas blend of English folk song settings, “Valdy” by Nautlasis, selections from “West Side Story,” “Chicago Tribune March,” “Morning Song,” “St. Lewis Blues” and closing with “William Tell Overture” by Rossini/Mattern. The Music Committee
presents the concert free of charge but donations are welcomed to fund the Virgil Cleveland Memorial Scholarship Fund. This scholarship provides the
opportunity for a promising music student from Orcas to attend a music camp in Bellingham.

Wednesday, July 9, 2014 • The Islands’ Sounder
workshop
Michael Elder, a licensed marriage and family therapist, recently moved to the island with his wife Linda, is presenting a free workshop at the Orcas Island Library titled “How Am I Here?” on Thursday, July 31 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. This presentation introduces the formative method of self management developed by Stanley Keleman, one of the early bio-energetics pioneers. The purpose of the formative exercise is described not as therapy (healing a disorder) but as “growing your second adult” defined as learning to consciously affect your physical/mental/emotional habits of behavior in order to live the life of your choosing. “While there is much talk about the mind body connection, no one denies the brain is an organ of
the body,” Elder said. “Laboratory studies show that thought involves muscles and viscera as well as the brain. Therefore it is fair to say that mind is a body function. Every thought, action, and emotion is an organization of the body involving both body systems subject to conscious control and those that are fully autonomic.” Elder says that by identifying a pattern associated with a particular thought, emotion, or action and making small, conscious changes to one part of the pattern, people can learn to enhance or diminish the entire target pattern. Formative psychology was developed by Stanley Keleman and you can read more at www.centerpress. com. Elder can be contacted at 376-3255 or visit www. michaeleldermft.com.

Domestic Violence Affects Us All
A
t this time last year, most of us were excitedly planning for summer vacations, home improvement projects and BBQs. But for three Washington women – Sheila Asselin, Brenda Lee Bail and Amanda Blanchard –July brought an end to all those things. Last July, Sheila, 57, was killed by her husband. Brenda Lee, 48, was strangled by her fiancé. Amanda, 41, was killed by her fiancé days before her wedding. All three were victims of domestic violence. In 2013, 35 people in Washington – including three children – were killed as a result of domestic violence. Thousands more endure daily verbal, physical and sexual abuse. Domestic violence touches more people than you may realize including children and men. Some are able to break away from the destructive cycle, but too many often die trapped in it. Deciding to leave is one of the most risky and terrifying decision most victims will ever make. It’s a decision some victims will only get to make once. Imagine picking up the phone and making a call to someone you hope can provide a safe place to flee and being told there’s no room. That’s the reality for tens of thousands of victims every day.
That’s why supporting organizations like the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence is so important. They make sure victims have a safe place to turn and provide important prevention tools for teaching our sons and daughters how to develop healthy relationships, training ourselves to identify signs of abuse among our coworkers, friends and family, and helping abusers break the cycle. I’ve seen how much of a difference every dollar makes for groups like WSCADV. Their Refuse To Abuse 5k is an easy way to raise awareness and resources for an organization that provides a lifeline to thousands of families every year.
If you can’t join the 5k, I encourage you to learn more about identifying the signs of DV and how to help. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is a 24-hour resource to keep handy if you know someone in danger – 800.799.7233. Trudi Inslee First Lady of Washington State
We love you and miss you. – Your family

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To make a firewood complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx

SAN JUAN COUNTY PUBLIC NOTICES San Juan County, as an Equal Opportunity Employer, does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status in the provision of services, in programs or activities or employment opportunities and benefits. Direct inquiries to Administrative Services at (360) 378-3870. TTD relay at 1-800-833-6388.
NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF ORDINANCES PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on Tuesday, June 17 and July 1, 2014 the San Juan County Council enacted the following ordinance(s): ORDINANCE No. 8 -2014: An Ordinance Regarding Solid Waste Disposal in San Juan County Amending San Juan County Code Section 8.12.010(A) and (B) Summary: The Ordinance eliminates from the Code the stipulation that solid waste must go to a Countyowned facility. The amendment was needed to prevent confusion or conflict that might arise regarding disposal requirements unique to the Lopez
Solid Waste Disposal District, the Orcas Recycling Services agreement and the Town of Friday Harbor agreement. ORDINANCE No. 9 - 2014: An Ordinance Regarding the Adoption of Uniform and International Codes as Building Codes; AMENDING SAN JUAN COUNTY CODE SECTIONS 15.04.050, 15.04.060, 15.04.090, REPEALING SJCC 15.04.070 AND ADDING A NEW SECTION TO CHAPTER 15.04 SJCC. Summary: The State of Washington cyclically adopts, with amendments, a comprehensive set of building codes as provided in RCW 19.27.
The applicable RCWs allow local jurisdictions to make amendments to the administrative provisions, found in Chapter 1 of the respective codes. Revisions are as follows: 1) Change ordinance to a general “as currently adopted” language rather than a specific reference to a certain code year. 2) Revise administrative portions of all codes so that there is a single governing code (IBC), rather than repetitive language for each adopted code. 3) Add items to the “work exempt from a permit” section. 4) Remove violation/enforcement language and refer to current code
enforcement ordinance. 5) Determination and clarification of before/after date for “existing buildings” as it pertains to requirements for permits. ORDINANCE No. 10 - 2014: An Ordinance Granting a Non-Exclusive Franchise for Communication Facilities Authorizing Limited Use of the Public Road Rights-of-Way in San Juan County, WA to Rock Island, Inc. Summary: The proposed non-exclusive franchise agreement will enable Rock Island, Inc. to use the San Juan County public rights-of-way for the installation and maintenance of telecommunication equipment and
facilities. This notice of adoption serves as the notice of publication required by RCW 36.70A.290(2). LEGAL NO. SJ573331 Published: The Journal of the San Juan Islands, The Islands’ Sounder. July 9, 2014.
