San Juan County has created a database of all vacation lodging being advertised in the county to ensure that all units are registered under a state business license, have a county transient lodging permit and are paying the appropriate state and county sales and lodging taxes.

The council is also examining how the proliferation of vacation rentals might be affecting the availability of long-term, affordable housing that supplies the county’s middle working class.

“It began as an issue of parity,” explains Orcas County Councilman Rick Hughes. “I personally support transient lodging as long as people are playing by the rules. Anyone who’s participating in short-term rentals needs to follow the law and be filing and paying lodging and sales taxes.”

Because short-term rental owners not paying taxes have an unfair advantage over those who do comply, this April the county council passed Resolution 12-2015. It requires local visitors’ bureaus and chambers of commerce receiving funding from the county to collect the following information from their lodging members and transient rental listings: a tax parcel number, a transient lodging permit and a valid state Unified Business Identifier (UBI#).

This data, along with online listings like VRBO.com and AirBNB and county GPS data, is being used to complete a cross-referenced database of all transient rentals.

Unlicensed lodgings will be notified.

As the council, county staff and related organizations gathered this

“Anyone who’s participating in shortterm rentals needs to follow the law. ” — County Councilman Rick Hughes

data, “It morphed into another question,” said Hughes. “Are affordable housing units being lost to short-term rentals?”

By law, rentals of less than 30 days require a UBI# and a transient rental permit; longer rental terms require no permits and no license. Anecdotal evidence suggests that local businesses are having a harder time lately finding and keeping good workers, and that long-term working tenants are losing out to the recent conversion of low-cost housing units into higher-profit vacation rentals.

County records show 279 permitted transient rentals on Orcas Island, and 608 total in San Juan County. There is currently no limit

Islanders weigh in on streetlights

by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher

The discussion about Eastound streetlights is officially underway.

Fred Klein led a public meeting on June 30 organized by the Eastsound Planning and Review Committee and the Orcas Chamber of Commerce.

“We feel that low-level pathway lighting would be a positive addition to town,” said Chamber Director Lance Evans.

He said the chamber's concern is with pedestrian safety, particularly on North Beach Road, as well as ensuring Eastsound is inviting to visitors after dark falls.

The meeting was intended to be a community conversation about whether or not to add street or sidewalk lighting, and if so, what form it should take and where it might be most useful. A small group of business owners and citizens was in attendance, but the majority consensus was that tasteful, environmentally conscious, low-level lighting would provide safety for pedestrians, encourage commerce in town and eliminate the need for glaring lights on Eastsound buildings. Several in the room talked about near-misses with pedestrians in crosswalks during the evening hours.

EPRC has prepared a slide show entitled “Eastsound Lighting Considerations,”

which can be found at http://www.orcaslibrary.org/docs/Eastsound%20Lighting%20 Considerations%2050715.pdf.

“I was initially concerned about over-lighting, but after doing research and talking to experts, it's quite possible that any of these solutions might actually decrease pedestrians' experience of glare. And we might have a decrease in energy expended,” said Charles Toxey, who owns Kangaroo House on North Beach Road.

Klein expressed dislike for the “misguided glare bombs” on some businesses. The group agreed that Eastsound building owners need to

on the number of transient rentals allowed in the county, but guest houses outside the UGA cannot be used for vacation rental.

The county council asked the Housing Bank Commission to report on whether an increase in vacation rentals is having an impact on affordable housing availability countywide.

“Information from employers and local business suggest that long-term year-round rentals are becoming increasingly hard to find,” stated the HBC.. “The role that increase in short-term “vacation” rentals plays in this dilemma is not known at this time.”

The commission called the following three affordable housing needs ”critical”: affordable home ownership opportunities, affordable long-term rentals and affordable seasonal worker housing. The report added, “The issue is not limited to residents at or below 80 percent of Area Median Income (AMI) to which state and federal funds can be applied. In San Juan County, affordable housing issues affect those up to and beyond 120 percent of AMI.”

hat’s Fresh at the Orcas Island Farmers’ Market? Frittata!

At the market, you know it’s fresh. You have the opportunity to buy right from the grower, your neighbor.

Our farmers are up late and early to bring it fresh to you.

A well-made frittata is one of the world’s most perfect foods. You can eat it hot or cold, it’s cheap, quick-cooking, and an efficient vehicle to showcase the summer’s best, not to mention equally delicious at breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

Frittatas are easy to make, but that’s not suggest you throw caution to the wind.

Follow the basics and you can’t go wrong with a summer frittata: Basic Frittata: • 2 Tbsp olive oil • 2 green onions or green garlic, sliced • 1 clove garlic minced • ½ cup parsley, freshly chopped • 2 summer squash, trimmed and thinly sliced • 10 eggs, lightly beaten • 2 Tbsp butter • Salt and freshly ground pepper • ½ cup Swiss cheese, grated

fully cook any produce that might release moisture into the eggs—mushrooms, tomatoes, and summer squash or zucchini are common “wet” culprits than can water down your eggs.

Sauté them separately. This also holds true for aromatics, like onions, and sturdy veggies, like raw potatoes.

These ingredients won’t get tender once you add the beaten eggs so cook them fully before combining everything. Don’t be afraid of getting a little color on the vegetables: That’s what makes them so delicious! So brown them up!

Season before cooking: Be sure to season your eggs with salt and pepper before adding them to the pan. A surface-level sprinkling of salt won’t penetrate the rest of the frittata.

Cheese: All cheese is delicious, however not all cheese is created equal.

Know what function you want your cheese to perform. Looking for cheese in every bite? For a standard 12-egg frittata, stir in about one cup (shred it first). Want to top the eggs with cheese, too? Shoot for ¼ to ½ cup more. If it’s an oozing texture you’re after, pick cheeses that have superior melting quality pick cheddar, gruyere, or fontina. A soft cheese, like ricotta, doesn’t melt as well, but it’s perfect if you’re into dense pockets of gooeyOven-safe pan: Make ness (we are into them).

Add eggs to summer squash and season with additional salt and pepper.

Preheat broiler and melt butter in a medium ovenproof pan over medium high heat. We like cast iron!

Pour in egg mixture. Leave for a couple of minutes to set the egg mixture while gently shaking the pan over medium heat When underside is lightly browned and the top is still runny (another minute or two) sprinkle cheese on top.

Slide the frittata under the broiler until cheese melts and top browns.

Remove from broiler and slide frittata out of pan onto serving plate. Top with remaining parsley.

Serve with tossed greens and bread and you have yourself a Market fresh meal!

Special to the Sounder

I got knocked down, but now I’m flying – to Africa!

Many islanders know me as the girl who was hit by a car this April. I’m glad to say that with the help and support of many, I’ve been able to recover swiftly and am almost fully healed. With that being said, I’ve made the decision to travel abroad and give my time to help others in need.

On Sept. 1, I will be arriving in Arusha, Tanzania, to spend four weeks volunteering at the Errat Care Centre for orphans.

Of course traveling is expensive, so I’m fundraising in every way that I can. I’ve started a GoFundMe page (http://www. gofundme.com/EmilytoTanzania) and I’m trying to raise $1,500 for my trip in the next two months. If you have the opportunity, please check out the page. I will be posting updates throughout my trip on that page as well. I’m also willing to trade childcare or

Orcas Island artist’s work featured on beer bottles An Orcas Island artist has been selected by the Blue Moon Brewing Company to help celebrate the company's 20 years of brewing.

Christine Lee of Cedar Hill Road, Eastsound, and Seattle, is one of 20 artists nation-wide to have their art selected to adorn bottles of Blue Moon beer this summer. The brew-

ery, based in Golden, Co., unveiled the artwork July 1.

The art selection was based on creativity and expression. The one criterion of the competition was that each piece of art had to have a blue moon in the rendering. The beer with the new artwork is available on Orcas Island.

Lee, a printmaker, studied at Syracuse University and worked as an artist and designer for exhibit group Giltspur, a maker of trade show booths. She later was the art director of Dillon Works, a design and fabrication shop in Mukilteo, Wash. She has continued to study printmaking in the

last few years and recently had her opening show in Shoreline, Wash. Her artwork is available at the Columbia City Gallery in Seattle.

The Blue Moon artwork is also found at www. facebook.com/bluemoon where viewers can vote for their favorite piece. The top 10 vote recipients will advance to a juried show, and a $20,000 grant will be awarded to the winner.

All the artwork was recently presented at a show in New York City.

Lee lives with her husband Kevin and son Max.

Libby Garcia earns the home brewer award

by MADIE MURRAY Farm to Cafeteria

It was unanimous! We have a new First Place Orcas Home Brewer who is now the proud owner of a coveted Crow Valley Pottery trophy plate made every year for the competition.

Libby Garcia toppled the Litch/Bishop two-year first-place reign with her “Boathouse Brews Gingered Hard Cider” made with local apples and organic sugar and ginger. It was the only entry to receive a perfect 10 from one of the judges and garnered comments like “Very nice, gingery mouthful,” and “True to the (ginger) nuance.”

The annual Home Brew Cider Competition was part of the fifth Annual Orcas Island Cider and Mead Festival on June 27, when 19 producers came to Orcas

to offer tastes to 600-plus visitors under the big tent on the Village Green.

Congratulations also to Gill Becerra who once again came in second place, this time with his caramelized apple cider; and third place winner was once

again Grace and Aaron of Anderson Cider with their 2012 vintage “Coté de Rhone yeast scrumpy.” The professional judges were Becca Gray with Island Hoppin’, Vince Carlton with Adytum Cellars and Jason Spears with Locust Cider.

Small fire at Mountain Lake At 6:30 a.m. on July 3, Orcas Fire and Rescue responded to a report of a wildland fire in the area of Mountain Lake in Moran State Park. Crews found a small vegetation fire approximately 40 feet by 30 feet. An immediate response from more than 25 personnel and eight apparatus helped to quickly secure and suppress the fire scene. State Park crews will be monitoring the area for a minimum of seven days.

There will also be signs posted in the area for hikers to be on the lookout for area hot spots.

The exact cause of the fire is human-caused, likely from cigarette butts.

Preliminary reports indicate this was a fire in the forest duff. Duff is the layer of decaying forest litter consisting of organic material such as pine needles, leaves,

plant and tree materials covering the mineral soil.

The Fire Marshal’s Office in partnership with local fire chiefs have banned all outdoor burning including land clearing, yard debris and recreational fires, starting July 10. The use of gas, charcoal and propane selfcontained stoves and barbecues are allowed.

To the Editor:

Housing crisis may force change

L

ast year people in our community were desperate for housing.

Now a full year has passed. Has anything changed?

It depends on whom you ask. For the islanders still in search of a roof over their heads, the answer is a strong no. Facebook pages have cropped up with numerous islanders sharing ideas about available rentals and ways to fight the housing crisis, but the page mainly functions as a way for people to vent about their frustration of not having a home. Other islanders have started building tiny homes, while others are considering roommates for the first time in years.

The county council has also gotten involved in the housing issue by creating a database of all vacation lodging being advertised in the county to ensure all units are registered under a state business license, have a county transient lodging permit and are paying the appropriate state and county sales and lodging taxes. The council is also examining how the proliferation of vacation rentals might be affecting the availability of long-term, affordable housing that supplies the county’s middle working class. Read more about this story on page 1.

An open house is scheduled on Tuesday, July 14, beginning at 6 p.m., so the community can view alternative preliminary site plan concepts for OPAL Community Land Trust’s proposed rental housing in Eastsound. The meeting will take place in the modular building behind the school administration building on School Road. The future rental project, on nearly four acres on North Beach Road – across from Children’s House and north of the orchard – will have approximately 30 units of affordable housing. See page 7 for more on that story.

Other countries have replied more strenuously to their own lack of housing. Several years ago Switzerland banned the construction of holiday homes in towns where they already account for more than 20 percent of the housing stock. In 2013, China banned single-person households from buying more than one residence in the capital of Beijing. Last year, a Cornish resort town tried to implement measures to ensure one in every two new-builds would also have to be classified as affordable housing.

And here on American soil we, too, will have to look at ways to deal with those who are struggling to find just one home. According to a recent article in the “Atlantic,” rural communities – like our own – are struggling. The National Alliance to End Homelessness states that while urban areas have the highest rate of homelessness – about 29 people per 10,000 and those areas classified as “mostly urban” rank second with a rate of 19 per 10,000 – rural areas have the next highest rates: 14 people per 10,000. There are some rural areas with very high rates of homelessness, and two of the highest rates in the country are in rural communities.

We are also a small community wrestling with a high concentration of tourism and the need for vacation homes. How do we balance that with also providing affordable housing? The council’s decision to closely monitor those running vacation rentals may be the first step, but our community also has an opportunity to anticipate the future.

American culture has always called for a certain presence of singularity, an independence that gives us strength, but perhaps that time is passing and what we can look forward to is more apartments, more community-oriented living situations and less space to roam.

The islands present a unique location because we already are a tight-knit community. The question now is: how can we use that in our favor when it comes to finding a place to live?

Thank you for supporting my fundraiser I want to say thank you to everyone who supported my sale for International Justice Mission. With your help we were able to raise $1,000 to help set people free. It is very exciting, and thank you very much for supporting us!

Keep Gateway process moving forward One of the most exhaustive reviews of any project in this state, the environmental study of the Gateway shipping terminal in Whatcom County, is unprecedented in its vast scope. The state of Washington has expanded the study far beyond its regular parameters.

Now, over a year into this expensive review, the regulatory agency is being asked to stop it in its tracks. Due to objections from the Lummi Nation, the Army Corps of Engineers is deciding whether to cancel the study.

What is the harm in completing this lawful process? Are the opponents fearful of what the science and facts will show about Gateway’s impact? And if this government agency is not willing to finish it, why on earth did they start it in the

Gateway has committed to complying with all required laws and regulations, and modified their proposal to further improve compliance. I believe the environment and responsible industry can coexist with this terminal.

The Cherry Point industries are among the most heavily regulated in the entire country. We can be sure that Gateway will be the same.

I am well satisfied that the various impacts can be mitigated, but nothing will happen if the Army Corps decides to negate an orderly and lawful process that has worked well for countless years. No business will consider locating in Whatcom County – or Washington state – knowing that any single group opposed to industry wields a big “no” vote that carries more weight than any other. No business can operate with this kind of unpredictability.

I urge the Army Corps to keep this process moving forward in a timely fashion, and to let the facts speak for the project, not innuen-

LETTERS FROM 4 alist bull puckey. Does the Sounder aspire to become a National Enquirer clone?

Someone who was once a victim of sex trafficking does live here. That’s true.

But it happened a long, long time ago and far, far away.

Not recently, and not here.

Sex trafficking is a serious problem in many places, as a recent presentation showed. It’s something we all need to know about, be vigilant for and refuse to abide. But nobody will be won over and nothing will

be changed by a dishonest, misleading, sensationalist headline and scare tactics.

And, no, adding a question mark to the lie did not make it any more palatable or less offensive.

The Sounder editor owes us, and the trafficking victim, an apology for that ridiculous headline.

Wireless is critical for public safety

by JIM GHIGLIONE Fire Chief, SJCFD #4

When I first began my work as the Lopez Island Fire Chief July 1, 2008, I was challenged to improve communications for our first responders and thereby improve public safety for all. This has been a tall order given our rugged and remote landscape, federally mandated radio frequency realignments that resulted in two-way radio communications going from bad to worse, and the fact that, until OPALCO came forward, no one was willing to make the infrastructure investment necessary to serve our unique rural community. There are large communication gaps on Lopez – and throughout our island communities that: prevent our first responders from getting a call, delay care for our sick and injured citizens, isolate our first responders (including OPALCO linemen) who routinely put themselves in dangerous situations to serve the community, and limit our team’s ability to deliver services.

A few short years ago a man suffered a cardiac event while biking on Lopez. His companions tried to use their cell phone to call for help but had no signal. There was a delay of over five minutes before they could contact the 911 center, and by the time we arrived the victim had died.

Two years ago there was an industrial accident and the worker died. Fortunately his coworkers did have a cell signal, contacted 911,

we were dispatched and our medic and EMTs revived him, were able to contact the on-call physician and the receiving hospital using the cellular phone.

However had this accident been 200 yards farther down the road, there was no cell signal.

Now, thanks to OPALCO and Rock Island Communications, this is the first big step to help meet my mandate to deploy and implement a solution to close the communication gaps. With the expansion of OPALCO’s electric and fiber grid and Rock Island Communication’s wireless deployment, we are on our way to a higher level of public safety. There are some on Lopez who will object to the poles that are going up (in accordance with the County’s Joint Use Wireless Facilities code), but I cannot lose sight of the critical need to strengthen emergency communications for our entire community, for the safety of our EMS and fire volunteers and lose the opportunity to create a true county-wide safety net.

Thank you, OPALCO leadership, for choosing fiber 15 years ago, your commitment to safety and raising the quality of life in our island communities and your cooperation with the EMS community.

Thank you Rock Island Communications for your expertise in building and managing the wireless solution to reach into some of our remote corners. Thank you for helping me to do the job that I was hired to do.

had an injured camper here at Four Winds last week, and our team decided that we needed to call 911 for assistance. The response was nothing short of world class.

The EMTs and paramedics provided our camper with excellent care, and were sensitive to our unique situation here of caring for someone else’s child.

The boy’s parents live out of state, and that creates additional complexity and sensitivity. The EMTs and paramedics never missed a beat, and rolled with every punch.

We live in a remote place, and having excellent emergency response makes that possible. In our particular case at Four Winds, assuring parents who live on the mainland that their children will be safe here allows our nonprofit business to exist. That has the knock-on effect of 12 islanders having year-round jobs with benefits, Four Winds being able to support Orcas businesses, and our parents vis-

All of that is made possible

by Orcas Fire and Rescue providing such great help when it’s needed, and we all owe them a debt of gratitude. As we say at camp: Bravo, bravissimo!

Electricity usage I have been recording my energy usage about every two to three hours (except night-time), and can report the following for the first week (June 22 at 10 a.m. through 10 a.m. on June 29). We are a household of two “older” adults. The house is totally electric – no propane and we don’t burn wood during any season.

We have no solar panels or other alternative energy sources. Therefore, we are probably a fairly typical OPALCO residential user.

The electric heat is turned off for the summer (JuneSeptembrt). Appliances are typical: refrigerator and

chest freezer run as needed.

The water heater has been turned lower, twice, to conserve energy.

Each day we both shower in the morning. Most kitchen usage is in the early evening (stove/oven) and the three highest use of kwh are for the dryer (three to four loads per week), stove/oven, and hot water (dishwasher, clothes washer).

Our highest usage is on the weekends. So we are generally typical for an older family of two. Over the seven days, we used 189 kw; most days of the week about 20 kw per day; weekend about 45 kw per day. At 0.097 cents per kwh, our average daily power

bill is $2.62 – or $78.57 per month. And a facility charge is added to that!

The purpose of this exercise was to have a better sense of the cost of electric power in our home. I will state, strongly, that we will lessen our usage proportionate to any increase in our monthly cost of energy from OPALCO. I suspect that this is the real world for most residential customers.

Living on a generally fixed budget is a bugger.

I would be very curious as to the comparison of our usage with the average for all residential customers throughout the county.

Ranker gives statement on budget Orcas Library to Senator Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, released the following statement about the recently passed budget.

I wanted to provide you with one last brief update regarding the incredible projects and the hundreds of jobs that will be created in Skagit, Whatcom and San Juan Counties with the passage of the Capital Budget tonight.

All told, $107 million will be invested in projects throughout our community over the next two years creating tens of thousands of

jobs. We can all be proud and excited of what this will mean for our local economy.

I worked tirelessly in the Senate and in coordination with my seatmates in the House to make sure that key projects were included.

I am pleased to share this evening that we were successful, and many of our communities’ key priorities were included.

I am extremely pleased to announce we have finally secured the full funding for renovation of the Carver Educational Facility

at Western Washington University. This building has thousands of students and community members pass through it daily. From classes to athletic programs to numerous high school assemblies, this building is one of the more heavily used in Whatcom County.

Unfortunately, it is run down and does not meet even the most basic earthquake requirements. Simply put, it is not safe and is in desperate need of a total redevelopment. With the passage of this budget, our students and community members will soon have a new, safe place to learn, celebrate and recreate. This has been a top priority for decades, and I am honored to have helped finally make this happen.

Other important projects were funded throughout the district. From $1.4 million for the Orcas Island Library expansion (see story at right) to $2 million for Blanchard Forest to $1.5 million for the City of Mount Vernon Downtown Flood Protection and Trail.

We also funded some

absolutely critical projects of statewide significance.

We invested $200 million in classroom construction, $33 million for mental health evaluations and clinics, $33 million in housing investments and $40 million in clean energy projects.

Most important however, is language that I was able to secure that will apply not only to this budget, but also the full transportation and operating budgets. The language strengthens our anti-discrimination laws by clarifying that every single contractor that works with our state and receives taxpayer dollars must also obey our anti-discrimination and equal pay laws. Earlier this session I was alerted to a loophole in our laws. With the insertion of this paragraph, that loophole is now closed.

It is a good day to be a Washingtonian.

Klein said he is hopeful that proper streetlighting in town would eliminate the need for extensive lighting on buildings.

Kelly Rose was in opposition of lights in town, citing the “light devastation” she

get $1.4 million

Orcas Island Public Library received a critical boost with passage of the state’s biennial budget for 2015–2016, which included $1.4 million in funding for the Library’s expansion project, “Books and Beyond: The Next Chapter.”

Senator Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, supported by Representatives Jeff Morris and Kris Lytton, included the request in the capital budget. “On Orcas, the Library is the heart of the community,” said Senator Ranker. “This funding will help the Library realize its full potential as the go-to place on the island for all kinds of information for all ages, free access to computers and the internet, and a welcoming place to read, learn, work, and meet.”

The library board and staff have been carefully planning this expansion for the last few years. Extensive input from the community showed that islanders view the library as the center for books and all kinds of digital information, a gathering place, a workspace and a community center.

Islanders want the library to expand both its space and its offerings of programs and services. Details on the expansion can be found at http://www.orcaslibrary.org/ nextchapter.html.

“We’re thrilled!” commented Donna Riordan, president of the Library’s Board of Trustees. “We thank Senator Ranker for his strong support for Orcas Island and the Library’s expansion plans. This funding puts us close to reaching our fundraising goal, and that means that very soon we’ll realize an even better library for our community.”

Nearly $3 million has now been raised so far through a combination of state funding, a gift from Bob Henigson’s estate, Friends of the Orcas Island Library, reserves and numerous other private donations from islanders.

A public fundraising campaign will be launched this summer to raise the remainder of funds needed. has seen in cities.

“I have ecological concerns,” she said. “There is also psychological impact to keeping the night sky visible.”

The next step is for EPRC to form a committee that includes representatives from the chamber, Orcas Power and Light Cooperative and the department of public works. Klein has been in contact with the Seattle-based Lighting Design Lab in Seattle, a

nonprofit that provides consultation to communities on lighting issues.

“I think the big take-away [from the meeting] is that the direction we’re heading is not towards anything akin to traditional street lights,” Klein said. “Rather, it is to provide some kind of lighting in the public realm that respects the principles of the ‘Dark Sky’ movement and address pedestrian safety issues at several key intersections.”

Orcas Island Public Library Fundraising Campaign Consultant The Orcas Island Public Library seeks a part-time consultant for services in support of public events for a library expansion fundraising campaign, beginning immediately.

The Library’s campaign, “Books and Beyond: The Next Chapter” is our response to the community’s need for more room at the library for people, books, and technology.

The position will report directly to the Library Director, and will engage with Library Trustees as needed and as appropriate to ensure success of the campaign.

Qualifications: • Experience with public fundraising campaigns • Familiarity with the culture of Orcas Island Compensation commensurate with experience; references required.

Evaluation of applications will begin on July 13; open until filled.

Open house for OPAL’s Orcas Island man’s death proposed rental project ruled drowning

by ANNA V. SMITH Journal reporter

The autopsy of an Orcas Island man found off of a North Whidbey beach June 24 showed he died of saltwater drowning, according to Island County Coroner Robert Bishop.

The man, David Fleischmann, 66, worked at the Madrona Bar and Grill restaurant on Orcas Island.

Bishop said Fleischmann was at his work around noon on Tuesday, June 23 on Orcas, and did not show up for his scheduled work shift at 4 p.m. that day.

He was seen eating dinner at a different restaurant on the island later on Tuesday.

Bishop reviewed ferry surveillance footage after police found Fleischmann’s car at the Orcas Island ferry dock. Bishop said he didn’t see any obvious signs of trauma.

Fleischmann was seen boarding the 10:30 p.m. ferry June 23, on a sailing from Orcas Island to Anacortes. He was seen multiple times on the footage, the last time at around

RENTALS FROM 1 The commission recommended further study and suggested some possible strategic solutions: explore incentives for landowners to create long-term affordable rentals, such as density bonuses; add land to the UGA for permanent affordable housing; and identify

11:40 p.m. when he walked to the back of the ferry. He did not get off the ferry when it docks in Anacortes.

On Wednesday, June 24 at around 3:37 p.m.

Undersheriff Kelly Mauck said a citizen on the beach, which is near Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, saw the body floating in the surf Wednesday afternoon.

The citizen pulled the body to shore, covered it and called 911.

Fleischmann lived alone on Orcas Island and his only family is out of state.

Joanna Massey, circulation manager for the Journal and Sounder, worked with Fleischmann for a year at Madrona.

“He had a great sense of humor. He had a sarcastic wit that would deliver a better comeback than you could deliver,” said Massey.

“He was tough but sweet, calling the girls he worked with ‘darling.’”

Jessie Stensland, Whidbey News-Times co-editor and Cali Bagby contributed to this story.

additional funding opportunities like Community Development Block Grants to increase affordable housing stock.

“There have been a lot of suggestions about what might be done,” said County Affordable Housing Coordinator Melanie Rollins, “but at this point it is at the investigation stage.”

An open house is scheduled on Tuesday, July 14, beginning at 6 p.m., so the community can view alternative preliminary site plan concepts for OPAL Community Land Trust’s proposed rental housing in Eastsound.

The meeting will take place in the modular building behind the school Administration Building on School Road.

The future rental project, on nearly four acres on North Beach Road – across from Children’s House and north of the orchard will have approximately 30 units of affordable housing.

The property, owned by Jim and Betsy Nelson of Olga, will be developed over the next several years if OPAL is able to secure funding. The Nelsons will retain ownership of the adjoining orchard.

Bill Singer, housing lead at Environmental Works Community Design Center, Seattle, is the project architect. He will be part of the team presenting the site plan concepts.

The firm specializes in community facilities, affordable housing and other public works. OPAL’s building committee recom-

mended hiring Environmental Works after reviewing proposals from 11 architectural firms and interviewing five finalists. The landscape architect will be John Barker, and the civil engineer will be Greg Bronn with Hart Pacific Engineering.

OPAL estimates the cost of the new rental housing project at $9.2 million, with over 90 percent of the funding coming from federal and state grants, tax credits and loans. The balance will be raised through donations from private individuals and foundations.

As part of the design process, OPAL is soliciting community input over the next few months to determine how many homes of what sizes to construct. The first focus group discussion was held on June 23. Local media coverage of that meeting is available at http://www.islandssounder.com/ news/310957811.html. There will also be other opportunities over the summer for the community to discuss the project at the Farmers’ Market and other venues.

“We want to hear what the community has to say,” said Lisa Byers, OPAL executive director.

Refuse To Abuse hese days, professional T sports teams are expected to publicly address domestic

and sexual violence. When they get it wrong, the public lets them hear about it. But that wasn’t always the case.

In 1995, the Seattle Mariners were in a race for the Western Division Pennant and fans adopted the phrase “Refuse to Lose” to cheer them on. It was the first time the team advanced to the American League Championship Series and it was a time when no one in professional sports was talking about domestic violence. The Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WSCADV) asked the Mariners if they would collaborate on a domestic violence prevention campaign.

The Mariners response? “Yes. It’s the right thing to do.”

Since that day, the two organizations have partnered on this effort. Refuse To Abuse® includes print, radio, and television public service announcements featuring prominent Mariners players speaking out against domestic violence and promoting healthy, respectful relationships. Having credible, professional male athletes speak out on this issue helps send a powerful message to young people.

A few years ago, Refuse To Abuse® expanded to include a 5K fun run/walk to raise money for WSCADV’s violence prevention work and create an opportunity for Mariners fans to join them and help end domestic violence. The only run to take place entirely at Safeco Field—the course goes through every level of the ballpark, from the top to the players tunnel to a final lap around the field—the event encourages participants to start conversations about healthy relationships with young people and gives them concrete tools to do so.

For the past nineteen years, the Seattle Mariners have done more than just talk about helping raise awareness about this issue, they have stood firm in their leadership role. If you need another reason to feel good about cheering for the Mariners, Refuse To Abuse® is a good one.

Register today for the Goodwill Refuse To Abuse® 5K at Safeco Field at refusetoabuse5k.org.

To find the domestic violence program in your community, visit wscadv.org or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800799-7233 or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY).

Granny is new mayor

Special to the Sounder

As Granny J2’s Mayoral Spokesperson I am happy to officially announce that Granny is the new mayor of Eastsound, Orcas Island.

With great respect for all of the worthy candidates, Granny is breaching for joy that you have bestowed her with such a great honor and responsibility. With the transparency of a good sonar scan, Granny vows that all proceeds from this fundraising election have gone to the Orcas Island Children’s House toddler and preschool programs.

This community effort highlights for Granny her top priorities as mayor:

family and fishing!

As the grand elder and matriarchal leader of J-Pod and the entire Southern Resident Orca Community, Granny knows that the children are the vital future of our communities. She swims the waters around these islands with her greatgreat grandson Tilem-Inges J-49, and the four new baby orcas born this past winter.

When J-50, a baby girl orca, was born in December, Granny and J-Pod brought her well into the waters of Eastsound.

As it takes a pod of orcas to raise a baby whale, Granny knows it also takes a village to raise a baby human, and she is proud of

Custom Stone Fountains with Water Features

Eastsound and all of Orcas Island for the generous support of the Children’s House.

A big S1 Primary Discreet Call (orca talk) goes out to her primary sponsor: Orcas Island Whale Watching (Deer Harbor Charters).

A big-hearted thank you goes to her main supporters: The Office Cupboard, Bossy Feltworks, The Orcas Island Farmers’ Market, Orca Network, The Friday Harbor Whale Museum, Hysazu Photography, Children’s House, her fellow candidates and their campaign managers and to all of the voting land and marine residents and visitors of the San Juans and Orcas Island.

Let’s dive into this year honoring and nurturing what we share: the children, our families and our communities.

Islanders came out to celebrate July Fourth during the annual parade this past weekend. Granny the orca whale took home the coveted title of Mayor of Eastsound – see the story at left.

Vikings attend World Cup

by JO GUDGELL and ADIA DOLAN

Lady Vikings soccer team

The Orcas Island Lady Vikings fulfilled their dreams by attending the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup Quarter final between England and Canada on July 27.

After the soccer season ended in late November our coach Chris Doherty approached us about the idea of going to the World Cup. At first it was just an idea we didn’t fully put effort into until it became

clear that it was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

We started raising money in early February and having meetings every now and then that would result in a lot of laughter.

We spent eight hours at Four Winds camp pulling weeds and moving branches, along with making pies and smoothies to sell at the farmers’ market. And finally two weeks before the world cup we had raised enough money to have a fun-packed, two-day trip.

We traveled to Canada on June 26 and stayed the night in the Frasier Valley’s classrooms. After many adventures, including gocarts and getting lost in the back streets, we arrived at the stadium with our blood

pumping. It wasn’t until we entered the stadium that we realized just how incredible this opportunity was.

Canada fought hard, but England took home our hearts and the win of that game!

“I think it was so important to the younger players on the team to experience professional soccer,” said Doherty.

The World Cup was not only about amazing soccer but it was about building our team and showing our dedication. As a team we bonded and made memories that will forever be in our journals and hearts.

We could not have done it without such a strong support group and community.

Island Living Warm sun, fertile ground What’s new in the world of gardening in the San Juans Plant problems? There is help The San Juan County Master Gardeners program has started their plant problem diagnostic clinic. The clinic meets twice monthly on the first and third Thursday now through September and supports the Master Gardeners Farmers’ Market booths on Orcas and San Juan Islands and Lopez Island table at Sunset Builders Supply.

They encourage county residents and visitors to submit plants with poor vigor, signs of disease or insect damage. The volunteers also identify plants and insects of concern or interest.

The recommended method of submitting plants is to collect them as close to the Saturday Farmers’ Market or clinic date as possible. The plant sample should include leaves, stems, flowers and fruit if possible. The more diseased plant sample we receive the greater the chance they can make an accurate diagnosis. In order to preserve the sample, place it in a Ziploc bag with a slightly damp paper towel and refrigerate it.

It is very important that you complete the plant submission form found online at http:// sanjuan.wsu.edu or at your island’s Master Gardeners’ booth.

San Juan Island clients may take the sample to the WSU extension office in Friday Harbor.

Master Gardener Volunteer Coordinator Connie Domenech will help you. Her office hours are Monday through Thursday from 8:15 a.m. to 1:15 p.m.

Orcas and Shaw clients can call Domenech at 370-7663 or take the sample to the Master

Gardeners’ booth at the Farmers’ Market.

Lopez clients may call Connie or take the sample to the Master Gardeners booth at Sunset Builders.

If you think your problem is so extensive you may need Master Gardeners to make a site visit, call the extension office to arrange this.

Pickle, preserve and ferment

Consider pickling, preserving, drying or fermenting all the fruits and vegetables you’ve harvested this summer. Then take those items to the Food Preservation Department at the San Juan County Fair for a chance to win ribbons and some wonderful prizes Each “Best of Class” winner will also receive a special rosette ribbon. The overall “Best of

Show” winner will receive a large rosette and a special prize.

So gather those fruits and vegetables and get busy canning, pickling, drying and mixing.

Drop off your entries at the Food Preservation Booth on Tuesday, Aug. 11 beginning at 10 a.m.

Share your bounty Summer has come early this year, and the warmth and dryness that we have experienced means that gardens are brimming with fresh produce. If you participated in the Orcas Master Gardeners’ Plant a Row Program, now is the time to start delivering the food from that extra row to the Orcas Food Bank. Even if you did not participate directly, the Master Gardeners urge you to share your bounty with the hungry on the island by donating part of your garden produce to the food bank.

All food is donated to the food bank, the Farm to Cafeteria program, the senior center and Kaleidoscope or other groups helping the hungry on Orcas.

Donations should be made on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Rinse the dirt off of all produce before dropping it off in the bin provided in front of the food bank’s door.

It is located at 176 Madrona Street next to the Community Church in Eastsound behind Island Market. If you need help harvesting your garden or orchard, the Orcas Island Gleaners can help you out. They are volunteers who supply their own equipment to carefully harvest fruit or vegetables on your property by appointment. Call Pegi Groundwater at 3763957 or call the Food Bank at 376-4445.

he osprey, also called ‘seahawk’ or ‘fish hawk’ is a large raptor, slightly smaller than an eagle. These birds live exclusively on fish, consuming birds or mammals only in times of scarcity. Ospreys catch fish by flying up to 100 feet high and diving feet first into the water to grasp their prey.

Generally ospreys pluck fish from the surface of the water, but can fully submerge themselves up to 3 feet deep. To deal with catching fish, ospreys have feet exclusively suited to fishing. They have backwards facing scales on their talons and sharp barbs on the skin of their feet that help them grasp their prey. Ospreys also have a reversible toe: they can hold fish with three forward toes and one rear toe or they can grasp with two forward toes and two rear toes. Ospreys are so successful at fishing that eagles will harry ospreys and steal their catch.

Like the bald eagle and peregrine falcon, ospreys were impacted by the heavy use of DDT in the 1950s-60s. With the banning of DDT, populations made a substantial comeback across the world. Ospreys show positive responses to human settlement, building their massive nests on human structures like buoys and channel markers. Ospreys migrate long distances between the northern and southern hemispheres to overwinter. They will travels as many as 270 miles in a single day. Individuals have been recorded going thousands of miles in short periods of time, with one flying 3000 miles from Martha’s Vineyard to French Guiana and another flying from Norway to western India.

Due to their impressive flying skills, the Romans believed that ospreys were capable of flying to the sun and back.

While on the water around Orcas, look for a bird with broad wings, a brown to black back, a white head and chest, and a dark eyestripe.

A priest with the spirit to explore and serve

by ANNA V. SMITH Journal reporter

The Rev. Edward Douglas Leche III has always had a roaming spirit. It’s what led him to explore the Seattle neighborhoods of his boyhood, what enticed him to sign up for World War II aboard the U.S.S. Saratoga at age 17 and ultimately what led him around the state of Washington to eight different parishes before fulfilling a mission to the San Juan Islands, where he finally settled to stay.

June 29 marked Leche’s 60th anniversary of his ordination as an Episcopal priest, originally ordained June 29, 1955. Family members, churchgoers, amateur radio operators and friends gathered Sunday, June 28, to reminisce with Leche, now 89.

Father Ted, as most know him, came to the San Juan Islands in 1967 by mission to the three Episcopal churches on San Juan, Orcas and Lopez Islands. The church issued him a boat named the Archangel so that he could minister to the islands without ferry service or established churches: Stuart, Waldron and Shaw.

“I liked anything that didn’t tie me down,” Father Ted said about his mission service in the San Juans. “Parish work never appealed to me; you got set down in one place and you didn’t get to go anywhere.”

The people on the islands also appealed to him; there seemed to be someone from every walk of life here.

“He really did minister to a wide range of people,” said his son, Edward Leche IV. “Industrialists, producers, environmentalists, the wealthy and those who were searching for themselves — such an eclectic web of people all here for different reasons.”

He was paid in chicken eggs in Darrington, held communion on a lake in a boat at Camp Huston and mediated local spats around the islands.

His family often accompanied him on the Archangel.

Edward and daughter Mary DeLong remember going with him to services, taking friends with them and meeting all of the intriguing characters that he met through his ministry. His wife, Mary Jane Leche, was a fixture in the communi-

ty as well and helped him throughout the years.

“Mom never did know who was coming home for dinner,” DeLong said.

Father Ted has also seen the changes in the San Juan Islands over time. One by one the churches dropped off his mission as their populations increased, and they became self-supporting churches with their own pastors. Orcas was the first location to become their own parish, then Lopez, then he focused on St. David’s until retiring in 1988.

“The goal of a mission is for it to become selfsufficient and to become an independent congregation,” said the Rev. Doug Simonsen, Rector at St. David’s. “He succeeded in that, so the need of a San Juan Island mission evaporated. That’s his legacy here.”

Another change to the islands came by way of fishing. As the means of the business changed, there were fewer fishermen in the harbor. As visitors grew, there were more yachts and pleasure boats.

“The islands developed, and it was a big change

Father Ted in the 1970s (above) and today (right). when it became a tourist attraction,” Father Ted said.

“It was a lot more fun when it was the other way.”

Radio was a prevalent influence in Father Ted’s life, reaching back as far as his Navy days in 1944, when he was sent to the University of Colorado to study radio communication, and then to be a radio operator on the Saratoga. He was a part of REACT - Radio Emergency Associated Communication Teams – when living and working in the San Juan Islands.

“There was this man, Fred Lions, who would sit by the radio all day long and broadcast around the island whenever somebody needed help,” Edward said.

Whenever he was out on the water in the Archangel, Father Ted would tune in and help out distressed vessels in need.

Father Ted returned to radio in his retirement as a

Kindlingsfest 2015 Intern at medical center This year’s theme is ‘Joy: the Art of Living’

On July 21-24 Orcas Islanders are invited to attend KindlingsFest 2015, a celebration of art and ideas where they meet with the spiritual. The theme this year is “Joy: The Art of Living.”

“C.S. Lewis writes that ‘The serious business of heaven is joy,’” says Kindlings President Dr. Jeff Keuss. “The destiny of humans is to find joy. What does that look like?”

Keuss, who teaches at Seattle Pacific University’s school of theology, said our culture often focuses on experiences rather than relationships, “but true joy is much deeper than a great vacation, or a really good latte.”

KindlingsFest will explore questions like: Who are the role models and mentors we turn to as those living joyous lives? Where is true joy to be found in our culture today? What can artists show us as to what true joy looks, feels and sounds like?

The festival will include

contemplative music with ArkMusic recording artist Jeff Johnson, lectures (childcare provided), conversations with artists in residence, Sundance Select films, and the BagEnd Cafe, a time for young and old to gather, sing and read original poetry while roasting s’mores.

Sundance Film Festival showings will include “Burt’s Buzz” and “How To Dance In Ohio.”

Lecturers include Seattle Pacific University professor Dr. Brenda Salter McNeil, an experienced leader in the field of racial, ethnic and gender reconciliation.

Poet, priest and academic Dr. Malcolm Guite plays in the Cambridge rock band Mystery Train. Principal of the Washington Institute Dr. Steve Garber specializes in the confluence of popular and political culture.

Filmmaker,writer, producer, and recording artist Steve Taylor has produced records and filmed videos for Sixpence None the Richer, Fleming and John,

Rich Mullins, Guardian and The Newsboys, earning Grammy, Billboard, Telly, Addy and Dove awards and nominations.

Artists in residence this year include singer-songwriter Sarah Masen, whose albums include “Carry Us Through,” “The Dreamlife of Angels” and “The Holding.”

Critically acclaimed author David Dark wrote “The Sacredness of Questioning Everything,” “Everyday Apocalypse: The Sacred Revealed in Radiohead” and “The Gospel according to America.”

Visual artist D. L. Taylor has exhibited in multiple gallery and group shows in the U.S. and U.K. Folkrock singer songwriter Eric Miller will host the BagEnd Café.

C.S. Lewis scholar Dr. Jerry Root based his Ph.D. on C.S. Lewis and the “Problem of Evil.”

“Lewis said, ‘Joy must be sharply distinguished both from happiness and pleasure. … I doubt whether anyone who has tasted it would ever … exchange it for all the pleasures in the world. But then joy is never in our power and pleasure often is,’” said Kindlings’ founder Dick Staub.

Voted Best Retirement Community in Anacortes

The following was submitted by the Orcas Medical Center.

The Orcas Medical Center has been pleased to have Mark Tom, secondyear medical student at the University of Washington School of Medicine, as a month-long summer intern working with Dr. Giefer.

Tom, who grew up near Chicago and has never lived in rural areas, became interested in rural medicine after spending time on the Olympic Peninsula.

His internship, through UW’s Rural Underserved Opportunities Program, has let him gain further exposure to the practice of medi-

cine in a rural setting.

“I love seeing patients at the clinic and then seeing them again out in the community, maybe at the market,” said Tom, pictured above. “I’m also impressed with the desire for collaboration I’ve seen among community service providers

such as OMC, Orcas Cares and EMS. San Juan County is the healthiest county in Washington state, and it’s clear that the community is willing to work to keep it that way.”

He says he has loved his time at the medical center.

“Dr. Giefer and the staff have gone out of their way to help me understand the challenges and opportunities of rural medicine,” he said. “I want to continue to explore this field in the future.” Dr. Giefer adds, “It’s been a pleasure to have Mark join us. It’s always stimulating and inspiring to have medical students in training spend time with us.”

Changes with Brown Bag concert lineup Due to an injury Martin Lund will not be playing at the Brown Bag Concert at noon on July 8. In his place will be the Salish Brass. Lund will perform at the July 22 concert instead.

The Salish Brass was formed in 2014 for the purpose of enjoying the brass trio repertoire and the collaboration of chamber music. The players are Ginni Keith from Lopez (trumpet), Don Breazeal from Orcas (horn) and Molly Johnson from Orcas (trombone). Come and enjoy a beautiful program that includes six pieces including all four movements of a Suite by Handel.

Singers Bill Felber, Sharon Abreu and Michael Hurwicz, accompanied by pianist Ron Meyers, will perform at the Brown Bag Concert at noon in Emmanuel Church on Wednesday, July 15.

Felber has been a singer since grade school. He has performed in 15 operas and numerous oratorios. Felber toured with the State Department. Since moving to Orcas he has sung with the Orcas Acappella

Choir, the Orcas Chorale Society and the Rock on the Rock choir.

Abreu was singing harmony by the age of 3. In New York she sang in audience attended master classes with Metropolitan Opera Soprano Licia Albanese. On Orcas, Abreu starred in the musical comedy “The Taffetas” at Orcas Center. She was a soloist with the Orcas Choral Society and Orchestra Seattle and the Seattle Chamber Singers.

Hurwicz always sung. In Minneapolis, he started a successful singing telegram company, Quackygrams. For the first time in his life he was supporting himself with his music. On Orcas, he became known as “Jesus” after staring in “Godspell” at Orcas Center.

Donations are appreciated to help fund the Emmanuel Music Committee’s scholarship fund to help promising young orcas music students. Everyone is encouraged to bring a brown bag lunch to enjoy on the lawn after the concert.

Robert brought his first load of cherries and apricots July 1. Peaches and cherries will be arriving this week. Box prices are available!

Now for a little history: In 1975, Frank Wilson started bringing his delicious cherries, apricots, peaches and nectarines to Denny's fruit stand. In 1979 Denny became the produce manager at Templin's. He brought Frank's stone fruit with him and to Island Market in 1992. It was then that Frank decided to retire and pass the orchard on to his nephew, Robert Wilson. Robert now brings the sweet juicy fruit that we look forward to each year.
