Baby on board Orcas Island woman gives birth in her car at the ferry landing By COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor
When Emma Claire Sheridan decided it was time to make her entrance into the world, she couldn’t be bothered with things like ferry schedules. She was ready. Now. With her mother, Linda, sprawled in the backseat of a Toyota RAV4 at the Orcas Ferry Landing, Emma drew her first breaths before an anxious audience of emergency responders and family members. “I was actually a bit relieved (to give birth),” Linda said. “If our midwife cleared us to get on the ferry to go to Island Hospital, it meant at least another two or three hours of labor, and I was just about ready to be done with everything.” Linda had been experiencing pre-labor contractions for a week, so when she began having a series of contractions at 9 p.m. on Sept. 2, she didn’t think twice about it. Her due date was still a week away. “I decided to take a bath while my husband, Paul, and my parents, Dave and Sharon Toepke, were having dinner,” Linda said. “The
bath didn’t make the contractions go away, as it had before … at that point I had six contractions in half an hour, but I didn’t really believe it was the real thing yet.” Paul called their Orcas midwife, Melinda Milligan, who was pretty sure it was the real deal. She advised the family to meet her at the ferry landing. “It was a bit of challenge getting dressed and out the door while having contractions, but with Paul’s and my parents’ help, I eventually got there,” Linda said. She had eight more contractions during the 20-minute drive to the ferry landing. They arrived at 10:35 p.m., and Melinda performed an exam. “She told Paul to call for the ambulance, because we were going to have the baby right there,” Linda said. With Melinda coaching her through the birth, Linda went into labor with a group of EMTs by her side. Dr. Michael Sullivan, Orcas Fire Department’s Medical Control Physician, happened to be in line for the same 10:50 p.m. ferry. Sullivan, who lives in Bellingham, was on Orcas for a training session at the fire department. When he got the call about
a birth at the ferry landing, he was just moments away. “It was a big comfort to have so many capable folks around,” Linda said. Ferry landing attendent Kirk Troutman said the birth caused quite a scene. “I stood back from the car and there were some pretty loud cries,” Troutman said. “It was an interesting situation. I kept traffic moving, because everyone wanted to stop and look.” By 11:15 p.m., Emma was born, weighing in at 7 pounds and 5 ounces. Emergency responders moved mother and daughter to a waiting ambulance. EMT Julie Remington drove them onto the ferry, which was on standby. Once in Anacortes, Dr. Sullivan helped the family settle in at Island Hospital, where they spent most of Labor Day weekend being observed. “Linda is tough,” Paul said. “Everyone we have told this story to says, ‘yes, of course this would be Linda’s birth story.’” Orcas Fire division chief Patrick Shepler says this may be the first baby born at the ferry landing. “When I first moved here, I delivered a baby at someone’s

San Juan and Lopez transfer stations: is it over? By SCOTT RASMUSSEN County reporter
And then there was one. The Department of Public Works has its sights set on closing two of San Juan County’s three solid-waste transfer stations in order to cut costs and balance the budget of the solid waste division beginning next year. Public Works Director Jon Shannon told the County Council on Tuesday that only the Orcas Island transfer station would remain open beginning next year under the department’s preliminary 2011 budget. If that preliminary budget is approved by the council as is later this year, he said those who live on San Juan or Lopez could either haul and dispose of their trash and recycling at the Orcas facility or rely on the county’s franchise hauler, San Juan Sanitation, to pick it up. Shannon added that the department has been instructed by the county’s budgetary team, led by Administrator Pete Rose and Auditor Milene
Henley, to avoid what proved to be a miscalculation in the 2010 solid waste revenue and spending plan, and to submit a balanced budget for the year ahead. “Essentially, that one-station model works,” he said. “We can’t balance the budget with three facilities.”
“We can’t balance the budget with three facilities.” — Jon Shannon, public works
The council approved this year’s solid waste budget with the recognition that an additional $1.6 million in revenue would be needed somewhere along the way to cover the cost of the operation. That anticipated shortfall remains largely unresolved and, despite this year’s fee increases and cutbacks in service, the solid waste division is roughly $630,000 in the hole. Financed almost exclusively by tipping fees,
or the price one pays to dispose of garbage, the solid waste operation collected roughly $300,000 less in revenue in 2009 than it did the year before as roughly 2 million fewer pounds of garbage were disposed of countywide. That decline in the amount of garbage collected and in the amount of revenue collected has continued this year as well, according to Public Works. Meanwhile, the council recently enacted a $5 fee that applies to “recycling-only” customers with an expectation of generating roughly $240,000 in additional income. Though the plans are on the table, closing the San Juan and the Lopez solid waste facilities is not a done deal. Public Works will meet with the council Sept. 28 to discuss three options, along with cost projections, for the coming year. At this point, those options include operating all three facilities, maintaining only the Orcas transfer station, and for the county to get out of running a solid-waste operation all together.

Orcas men’s softball wins state title After six years, local team makes it to state championships – and wins
PRIVATE DEER HARBOR WATERFRONT HOME
By MEREDITH M. GRIFFITH Staff reporter
The men from “the Sandlot” conquered in Yakima last month, taking down every team in their path to claim the Washington state championship title from the National Softball Association. “It was awesome,” said player Troy O’Neal. “I played state before in high school, but as an adult, it was fun. It brought back memories of the competitiveness in high school. I had a great time, lost my voice screaming and having fun with it.” The tournament hosted 13 teams, and the Orcas team, called “the Sandlot,” won five straight games to cinch the title. Each team had won three tournaments during the regular season to earn a place at the state competition. O’Neal said the team is tightly knit from years of history together. “We’ve been an established softball team on Orcas for six years now,” he said. “We know each other well enough to call each other on our faults. This is the first time we got a bid to state. We went to state and won it.” What was the ticket

Even when it rained, we practiced and practiced. We had a lot of help from other people who weren’t on the team who just came out and practiced with us, our buddies and friends on the island.” O’Neal said the team is hugely grateful to the team’s sponsors: Bart Curtis of Orcas Construction
Company, Gary Sisson of Mount Pickett Cabinetry, and Jim Passer of the Lower Tavern. “A big thank you to our sponsors: they’re the main guys that kept us going,” he said. “If it wasn’t for our sponsors there’s no way we would have fees for the state tournaments. Those guys … helped out a lot with jerseys so we could look like a decent team out

Editorial
To the Is closing local transfer Editor:
stations the answer?
Solid waste fee will discourage recycling
Come January 2011, Orcas Island could be home to the only transfer station in our county. It would be a huge burden for our small island, and a sad day for Lopez, which has sustained the “Take it or Leave it,” a service similar to our Exchange, for years. Under Public Works’ preliminary 2011 budget, only the Orcas Island transfer station would remain open beginning next year. If that budget is approved by the council, those who live on San Juan or Lopez will have to either haul and dispose of their trash and recycling at the Orcas facility or rely on the county’s franchise hauler, San Juan Sanitation, to pick it up. Has the county thought about the potential for long lines of cars on the road, waiting to dump their trash and recyclables on Orcas? Cars are already spilling out onto a busy road during dump days; an influx of even more vehicles will be dangerous. In all likelihood, most islanders will be forced to switch over to San Juan Sanitation. But local contractors will either haul their site debris to the mainland, or make the trek to Orcas. Lopez is as proud of its Take it or Leave It program as we are of The Exchange. For decades, Neil Hansen has been managing the Lopez transfer station with a keen eye for recycling. We predict an uprising from the Lopez community if this budget is approved and the station is closed down. While it’s possible Lopez citizens could take over the service, a new location would need to be found. The solid waste department relies entirely on tipping fees (the price of disposing of garbage). The council approved this year’s solid waste budget with the recognition that an additional $1.6 million in revenue would be needed to cover the cost of the operation. Despite this year’s fee increases and cutbacks in service, the solid waste division is roughly $630,000 in the hole. The council recently enacted a $5 fee that applies to “recycling-only” customers with an expectation of generating roughly $240,000 in additional income. Councilman Bob Myhr wrote in last week’s Sounder: I am urging the council to reconsider the ill-advised $5 fee. To pay for recycling, I advocate further cost cutting and a small garbage rate increase ($1 per can and $37 per ton) which would affect everyone. It would keep recycling free, bring more revenues from the curbside haulers (that still pay 50 percent less the self-haulers), and would be much more likely to raise what is needed for the stopgap measure of raising $240,000 for operations. The San Juan Island Solid Waste Utility has scheduled the first round of a series of three public meetings. The results of the recent county-wide survey will provide the focus for discussion at the meetings. Check out the survey here: http:// sanjuanco.com/swmp/meetingnotes.aspx or pick up a copy at the library. The meeting schedule is: Sept. 29: Orcas Island, 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., Eastsound fire station; Sept. 30: Lopez Island, 4 to 6 p.m., Woodmen Hall; Oct. 6: San Juan Island, 5 to 7 p.m., Mullis Senior Center; Oct. 7: Shaw Island, 10 a.m. to noon, community center. We challenge you to come to any of the above meetings and show the county new ideas, if you have them.
I am writing about the recent decision by the county to charge $5 for every recycling visit. If the goal is to encourage recycling, this is a big mistake. My situation is probably common. I accumulate recycling materials until I have enough to fill the trunk of my car, and then drop them off on a trip to Eastsound. Since most recycling materials are pretty light, the $5 charge is a significant fraction of what it would cost to just throw them in the garbage for San Juan Sanitation to collect. When I consider the fuel used to drive to the transfer station, and especially when I consider my time, it is cheaper to do just that. I have a lot of faith in the free market to determine what is most economical. If recycling costs as much or more than garbage disposal, it is probably a bad idea as far as conserving resources, when everything, including human resources, is considered. People will recycle for other than economic reasons if society encourages it and they think they are doing a good thing. The addition of a government-imposed fee is a very strong societal discouragement. Look for recycling volumes to drop considerably after this fee is in effect. Mike Macksey Olga

Youth’s bike run over by unknown driver To the inconsiderate jerk who drove over my daughter’s bike at the top of Shady Lane last weekend: Perhaps your car was so damaged by driving over my seven-year-old’s bike that you didn’t feel that you should say anything. Even an apology would have been nice. As my 15-year-old daughter pointed out, you would have to be a very bad driver to not see the bike, or miss the expanse of gravel driveway next to it. The bike was parked next to another bike, a skateboard and a scooter next to a tree on a grassy area beside the gravel driveway. The bike is completely ruined, handlebars snapped, seat warped and Marketing Artist Jim Sullivan jsullivan@islandssounder.com Legals/Office Staff admin@islandssounder.com Mailing/Street Address P.O.

‘Cruise Into History’ event a success Who knew? ... that Juan de Fuca was actually Greek? ... or why the impressive limekiln which still stands at Cormorant Bay was only used once? ... or that an odd series of events took place in these waters which sparked the 1850s gold rush? These were some of the tales told by historian Tom Welch on the annual Cruise into History Tour last Sunday, circling Orcas Island in an afternoon on the comfortable and seaworthy “Orcas Express.” Dan and Denise Wilk of Orcas Island Eclipse Charters organize the event each year to benefit the Orcas Island Historical Museum and this year was a great success, with a sold-out 46 passenger seating, netting $2700 for a good cause.

to enhance our educational activities program for the 2009-2010 4-H year. During the past several months youth and teens from our county have been able to experience 4-H outside of our local county thanks to the generous support of the United Way. We have been able to provide scholarships that sponsored four members to the Washington State Teen Rally in 2009, seven members to the Whatcom County Youth Fair 2010, six members to attend the 4-H Summer Teen Conference at WSU in 2010, and we are currently accepting applications for the 2010 Washington State Teen Rally. These out-of-county events are extremely valuable connections between the youth in our county and 4-H members in other areas of the state. They foster a sense of belonging to a program that is greater and broader in scope than what the individuals are exposed to locally. Attending off-island learning events provides invaluable leadership experience, creates renewed excitement and a stronger commitment to individual goals. As the president of the San Juan County’s 4-H program I have personally witnessed the difference the funding from the United Way has made to elevate the level of quality in our local 4-H program and also the difference this can make in individual members lives through their 4-H experience. I wish to extend my gratitude for the generous members of the community who support the United Way and help provide grants such as the one that was awarded to the

LETTERS FROM 4 San Juan County Leaders’ Council. Jan Sanburg President, San Juan County 4-H Leaders’ Council
Thanks for great Whale of a Show It was quite a Whale of a Show when children shared their talents and enthusiasm on the Orcas Center stage. The audience witnessed passionate musicians, singers, dancers, hoola-hoopers, and a magician/illusionist. Thanks to the wonderful audience who supported our island youth, Orcas Center for all they do to offer opportunities for children, all the volunteers who helped make it possible, the donors of auction items, and the performers who made us all feel so good that special night. While we don’t know the future of Orcas Rec programs, we do know the importance of children having opportunities such as this to pursue their talents and interests and share them with our supportive community! Didier Gincig On behalf of Orcas Rec
We need to keep Buxbaum on Orcas What?! We, as an island community, are losing Dr. Evan Buxbaum? He is the only physician on the island specializing in the health care of children. Are we losing him because of the failure of insurance, both corporate and governmental? Apparently, we cannot look to either of these to improve things. Nor can we look to organized charities. Change begins with taking charge of our own health care at a community level. Someone like Dr. Buxbaum, with skills, knowledge and generosity of life’s work service to community, is a valuable resource. It would be a shame for our island community to lose him. Please, we need the help of you folks out there who are stewarding the larger share of financial resources of our country. Please, help figure out a way we can maintain Dr. Buxbaum here on Orcas Island. This would greatly benefit the children of our island. In a short time he has made a profound impact on our community and the health of many of our children. Please! Now is the time
for a new model. A model where the successful capitalists support and provide for the best interests of the community. Rivkah Sweedler Orcas
Our cemeteries deserve respect
We have three cemeteries on Orcas Island. The Olga Cemetery is under private ownership, while the Woodlawn and Mt. Baker Cemeteries are both being managed within a tax district. Woodlawn and Mt. Baker Cemeteries were established around 1890, and much care has been given over the years, mostly on a volunteer basis. The commissioners would like to remind the public that the district needs to be contacted about all activities relating to cemetery business. This will help us to continue to keep accurate records of all burials and headstone placement. You may find information on Woodlawn and Mt. Baker Cemeteries in the reference section of the Orcas Library and on their website. You may also send an e-mail to our current clerk at: woodlawncemetery@ rockisland.com or by calling 472-1573. Should you have any information on the recent graffiti on Woodlawn Cemetery concrete wall, “HEVS, RIP,” please contact the Sheriff Department. Cemeteries are a part of our community and a place of remembrance, history and respect. Thank you. Cemetery Commissioners Pierrette Guimond Joyce Nigretto Niki Berdan
Gratitude to island caregivers I write in praise of Orcas Island’s Emergency Medical services. When Dr. Geifer urged that my medical condition dictated immediate off-island hospital treatment, a call to “911” elicited immediate response. While I was far too disoriented to recognize all those responding, I do specifically remember the comforting words of Julie Remington and Pat Shepler. I was whisked away to UW Medical by helicopter and am now again home recuperating from a nasty bout with pneumonia. My deepest gratitude to our island caregivers. Bob Henigson Deer Harbor
CAO debate: bellies or buffers? Is nonylphenol, a man-
www.ISLANDSSOUNDER.com
made chemical that feminizes male fish, causing bigger bellies in people? A recent peer-reviewed study found excess fat in liver and fat cells exposed to nonylphenol. (See: Wada et al., J Pharmacol Sci. 2007.) Such changes in fat storage lead to belly fat growth that is associated with diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Nonylphenol is produced by incomplete biodegradation of non-ionic surfactants. More than 500,000 pounds of non-ionic surfactants are produced each year in the U.S. Non-ionic surfactants are in auto and household cleaners, herbicides, pesticides, paints, deer repellents, and personal care products (sodium lauryl sulfate is the main ingredient in most shampoos). This is a partial list. In fresh and saltwater, non-ionic surfactants biodegrade to nonylphenol. Nonylphenol enters the food chain and accumulates in the fat of fish and other animals. In people, higher Body Mass Index correlates with more of this alien hormone in our bodies. How can we reduce our exposure to nonylphenol? In contrast to the buildup of nonylphenol in water, non-ionic surfactants in vegetated soil can be completely biodegraded by soil fungi and bacteria. By locating our homes, driveways, septic systems, and gardens away from our fresh and marine waters, the non-ionic surfactants can be completely biodegraded in a native plant buffer. The uneven surface and undisturbed leaf litter of a native buffer captures runoff much better than the smoother surfaces that people create in their landscaping. For homes on rocky land, bioswales can be created to treat the water that runs off roofs, driveways, and lawns. The nonylphenol we are exposed to each day may seem insignificant. But, like one cigarette vs. a lifetime of smoking, the impacts add up. To protect human health and to protect wildlife, broad natural buffers should separate new homes, and their driveways, gardens, and septic systems, from our fresh and marine waters. Existing homes will not be required to meet the new standards in the Critical Areas Ordinance update, but homeowners may create bioswales to intercept non-ionic surfactants and other pollutants before they reach our waters.

Community donates kids’ hats The Caps for Kids project is going strong, thanks to our generous community. Just over 40 hats have been donated so far, and almost a dozen distributed already. We especially need more smaller hats, baby through six years old. The drop-off basket is in the foyer of the Orcas Public Library, and will be there through the end of October. Thank you for continuing to help keep our kids warm! Call Anna at 376-3095 if you want more information on this project. Anna Vedder OCS math teacher
Possible solution for solid waste I may be voicing the opinion of many others who have not yet stepped up to speak. I add my voice to Councilman Bob Myhr in “vociferously” opposing the recent decision to charge a $5 “gate fee” for those recycling (only), at the transfer stations. When there’s no fee to those also dumping trash or going to the Exchange (on Orcas), how much toward the $240,000 does anyone think will be achieved? Taking myself as an example, I may end up paying $5 every month at the most, or sending my recycle with my trashdumping neighbor. We need to feel we’re supporting the facility itself, and the only way I know to accomplish that is to have a fee for so many trips to the Transfer Station, whether it be for trash, recycle or exchange. The privilege of using the facility should cost $75 or so for, say, 10 uses. As with the five-ride ferry tickets, anyone can buy the “ticket,” which then will be punched upon entry or scanned, going by a bar code as to the number of uses, and therefore getting around the copying syndrome. As with the ferry system, these tickets can be bought over the internet, or at the facility. Tipping fees will still be charged by weight of trash brought in, in addition to the use fee. The simpler option is to have the “pass” purchased as an annual use fee by anyone with an Orcas address, and sent to the user as a pass, usable by anyone who shows the pass at the gate. Cost: $85+ or so per year or six months. Again, tipping fees would be separate. My numbers don’t add up to replacing the short-fall, as I’ve not studied previous

use, county stats, etc. But it’s the idea I wanted to put forth, rather than just stating that the current plan won’t achieve its objective. We know it won’t, and will only lead to eroding our good habits of recycling, conservation and care of this fragile environment in which we live. Margot Shaw West Sound
Pet swap made a rainy day brighter We all woke last Sunday morning to a gentle rain on the roof. It was still raining as we set up our tents, our swap items and our auction donations. And it was still raining as we stood together under those tents and debated canceling. We didn’t. The event started at 1 p.m. and the day got brighter. No, it didn’t stop raining, but a variety of dedicated souls showed up with bright smiles, donations, auction bids and a few dogs too! We talked and laughed and we supported the dog park.

BABY BORN FROM 1 ond child Milligan delivered in a vehicle over the course of her long career as a midwife. “The first one she delivered in a car was in front of a hospital – not the ferry line,” Linda said. Linda, who is coordinator of the Orcas Rec Program, is taking time off work to be with Emma. Paul is the director of Four Winds – Westward Ho camp. Linda will go back to work for a few days in October, and then Orcas Rec is closing on Nov. 1. If funding for Orcas Rec is provided by the parks and rec district levy, which is on the November ballot, then she may be back at the helm this winter. But for now, she is reveling in her new responsibilities. “I definitely love being a mom,” Linda said. “She gets cuter every day. She is getting bigger and stronger and she is really healthy. We are both just really excited to be parents.”

Wednesday, September 22, 2010 • The Islands’ Sounder
Islands’ Sounder to host sheriff candidates forum Detective Brent Johnson and Deputy Rob Nou want to be the next sheriff of San Juan County — the first new sheriff in 24 years. Here’s your opportunity to learn more about them and grill them on the issues. The Islands’ Sounder is sponsoring a sheriff candidates forum on Wednesday, Sept. 29, noon, at the Eastsound Fire Station. The format is simple to allow for as much interaction as possible between residents and the candidates. After a five-minute introduction by the moderator, each candidate will make a five-minute opening
statement. Then, the forum will be open to questions from the audience. Each candidate will get one minute to respond. At the conclusion, each candidate will make a five-minute closing statement. The Journal of the San Juans and The Islands’ Weekly are hosting two additional sheriff candidates forums: Sept. 28, 5 p.m. at the San Juan Community Theatre’s Gubelman Theatre and Sept. 29, 5 p.m. at the Historic Port Stanley School on Lopez Island.
Fire hazard declining but burn permits not available In cooperation with the state Department of Natural Resources, the fire danger for San Juan County has officially been lowered from “Moderate” to “Low.” As warm weather wanes and with the recent light rainfall, many San Juan County residents are start-
IT’S ELECTRIFYING! PROJECT PAL IS ISLANDERS HELPING ISLANDERS Who needs help paying their electric bill this heating season? The single parent who will miss a week of work when their small child gets the flu; the senior citizen living on a fixed income who had big medical bills last month; the hard-working family with a bread winner who was laid off recently; your neighbor who is slowly falling behind on bills and can’t find any more corners to cut; and the small business owner of a store you frequent who has been hard hit by the economy. Times are tough and winter heating bills can add up quickly. Staying warm is a basic need that we all share and that’s why OPALCO’s Project PAL is designed to let co-op members help fellow co-op members get through the tougher winter months. OPALCO members support Project PAL by making “Round Up” donations, rounding up their monthly bill amount. To donate, check the “Round Up” box on your bill, or call the office at 376-3500 to sign up or make a one-time donation. Businesses can support PAL with regular or matching donations, or by becoming a PAL Business Sponsor. It’s a great way to show your customers that you care about the community. Last year’s tough economy and cold winter depleted our PAL funding: between October 2009 and April 2010 we had 242 applicants with PAL grants totaling $37,130. We anticipate another busy PAL season and hope to get enough donations to meet the need. An independent council of OPALCO members receives applications from those in need and makes funding decisions on a monthly basis from October through April. The Council voted to increase the eligibility this year to a family income level of up to 200% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines so that more members can have access to a helping hand. Applications are available at www.opalco.com or may be picked up at OPALCO offices. As co-op members, we can work together to make sure everyone stays warm this winter!

ing to think about autumn activities, like burning that pile of brush and tree limbs that they’ve collected all summer long. While the risk of a damaging forest fire is declining with the change in weather, there may still be a few warm and dry spells within the next several weeks. With that in mind, residential burn permits are not yet being made available.
Traditionally, burn permits can be obtained beginning Oct. 1 of each year, although the exact date is subject to weather conditions. Up-to-date information can always be found at the San Juan County Fire Marshal’s website, www.sjcfiremarshal.org, or by calling the Fire Marshal’s Office at 378-FIRE (378-3473).

County health department issues whooping cough alert
Sunflower Cafe to close
County Health Officer Frank James, M.D. is asking parents of pre-school and schoolaged children to check their children’s vaccination records and be alert for the symptoms of whooping cough, clinically known as Pertussis. This summer the health department identified three clusters of confirmed cases on Orcas and San Juan Islands, and there have been two recent infant deaths elsewhere in Washington state. In California, nine young children have died and more than 4,000 infections have been recorded this year, the most in more than a half century. Children are most susceptible to pertussis, showing symptoms of spasmodic coughing, gasping for breath and vomiting. The disease is considered highly communicable, but a vaccine does provide protection. Dr. James asks parents who suspect their
Eastsound’s Sunflower Café is folding its petals alongside the other blooms of summer, much to the dismay of patrons who drop in on foggy mornings for a cuppa joe, a treat and a wee blether with the townsfolk. “If we cannot put the proper energy into the café and keep it good, we don’t want to keep it open,” said proprietor David Johnson. He said he and his wife Heather are closing the cafe in part due to a lean summer, and also because they’re a sandwich generation, with both kids and parents at home right now. In addition, David accepted a job as facilities manager for the Orcas schools, which has left Heather alone to staff the counter at the cafe. When things get busy, he’s not available to lend a hand anymore. “I have made a commitment to the school district to do my best, and if you know

child may have pertussis to keep their child at home and contact their health care provider to schedule an evaluation. All of the fatal California cases occurred in babies too young to be fully immunized against the illness, which is why parents and caretakers are being urged to get booster shots. Typically, babies are given a series of vaccinations, then receive booster shots between ages four and six. Protection from those initial vaccinations fades over time, so health officials say anyone over the age of 11 who has not had a tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis booster shot, should get one as soon as possible. Dr. James urges residents of all ages to make sure that their vaccinations are up to date and asks anyone with a cough or cold-like symptoms to avoid contact with young children. Call the Health Department at 378-4474 with questions.
Council renews Conservation District’s $5 parcel fee by SCOTT RASMUSSEN County reporter
Job cuts. Employee furloughs. Reduced office hours. In an era of economic upheaval, public agencies are pinching pennies like never before. But at the headquarters of the San Juan County Conservation District, they’re breathing a little easier knowing there’s a decade worth of dedicated funding in store. In a unanimous decision, the County Council on Aug. 31 approved renewing a $5 parcel fee that’s helped to bolster the district’s financial outlook the past five years and, at the request of the district’s board of supervisors, agreed as well as to double – from five to 10 years – the duration that the fee will remain in effect. Also known as a property assessment, that fee is expected to generate roughly $75,000 in 2010, or about one-third of the district’s budgeted expenses. It accounted for roughly 50 percent of those expenses a year ago, but covered only about 25 percent the year before, according to district Supervisor Vicki Heater. The district cut expenses through layoffs and attrition over the past two years and began this year with one full-time and two parttime employees. There were three full-time and four part-time employees on its payroll prior to 2008. The $5 fee was first enact-
ed in 2005. Unlike a property tax, that fee is not tied to the value of a particular property. Properties classified as “designated forest land” pay 10 percent of the assessment, or 50 cents. Ac c ord i ng to Administrator Pete Rose, a recently revised budget submitted by district officials shows it will use $17,500 of the revenue generated by the fee on the technical assistance it provides land owners, $17,500 towards its incentive programs and about $38,000 on overhead and basic costs to “keep the lights”. Though it pays for only a portion of the district’s expenses, Heater, along with several others who testified at the Aug. 31 public hearing, noted the fee and the revenue it generates acts as a financial backstop and allows the agency to pursue and secure other sources of funding, such as state, federal and private grants. By joining forces, WSU Extension Agent Tom Schultz said the local extension office and the conservation district have made significant strides in helping property owners improve the use of their land and in protecting the islands’ natural resources even though the two agencies are relatively small by themselves. “Together we’re able to do more collectively than we’re able to do individually,” Schultz said. Established in 1947, the San Juan County
Conservation District is one of 48 conservation districts in Washington. It provides technical assistance to property owners to help conserve and protect natural resources, such as soil, water and natural habitat. District programs include detailed planning for forests and farms, restoration of Garry Oak habitat, soil surveys, low-impact development and the protection and restoration of estuaries. Renowned for its annual plant sale, the district is an independent, non-regulartory agency governed by a locally elected Board of Supervisors.
anything about the Johnsons – if we say we’re going to do anything, we do it,” David said. “We’re closing now, because why lose money during the wintertime? As the Sunflower, we’re going out on top, because we will not let ourselves be sucked into owing people money. We don’t owe any of our vendors anything. I’m paid up full. When you look at the grand scheme of things, you’ve just got to know when it’s time to stop, and you’re still coming out on top, because you’re not hurting anyone else.” The Johnsons purchased the cafe in 2007 from Julie and Christian Hogle. Their lease on the building won’t be up until June, so the Johnsons are looking for a tenant to fill the place. “We tried to sell (the Sunflower Cafe); we were hoping someone would buy it and keep the same flavor,” said David. “Two dedicated people can make a go of it; we did it for a few years.
We’ve had fabulous guests who come back every year, some we see almost every day. I’m gonna miss the people that come in, the interaction ... I’m a very social creature, so when people come in, I’ll sit down and talk to them, and Heather’s like, ‘C’mon David, get back to work!’” Heather, a former zookeeper, has accepted a position on the board of Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. The couple’s two children, Bailey (a freshman) and Sydney (a third grader), will continue attending school on Orcas. The Sunflower’s last day will be Sept. 25, the Johnsons’ wedding anniversary. “It’ll be a bittersweet day,” David said. “Hopefully all our friends will come in and say goodbye to us. We have a guest book, we’d love it if people could sign, what the café was for them. We wish it was a different way, we wish we didn’t have to, but it is what it is.”

Viking Makenna Thomas digs a Hurricane serve.
The Lady Vikings let the Hurricanes blow by them on the first match on Sept. 14. Then they went on the war path, winning the next three games to close down play with scores of 25-19, 25-20 and 25-20. “We lost the first game (25-15) but we didn't crumble,” said coach Gregg Sasan. “In years past we would have almost thrown in the towel, but they stuck together as a team and then we won the next three. (Mount Vernon Christian) is tough, so it was good to see us come out of that.” Sasan and assistant coach Hank Date chalked up the first loss to first game jitters. “We missed a ton of serves that first game,” Sasan said. The girls greatly improved their serving percentage during the next night's game against La Conner. Date said he’d like to see the team strengthen their serving, and their passing and setting, as well. On the positive side, “we did a really good job of attacking the

ball, when we got a good pass,” he said. The Vikings' middle hitter, senior April Hofmann, looks to be a cornerstone of the team this season, with solid blocks and powerful spikes. She is co-captaining the team with senior Makenna Thomas. Date said Emily Bodenhamer is “a real threat on the left side of the net; when she’s on, she can really thunder a few down. I expect to see more of that.” Middle Serena Sanders led the team in serving, providing good blocks and hits opposite Hofmann, said the coaches, while Kathryn Tidwell did a great job on the front on the outside, teaming up with Hofmann for “some really momentum-changing blocks” in the middle. Senior setter Adria Garcia was joined on the court by little sis, Aliviah, as the team's secondary defensive specialist. Date said the football team lent valuable support when they trooped into the gym, making the bleachers thunder with the cry, “Viking Power!”
The Orcas Vikings football team improved to 3-0 on the season while wrapping up their non-league schedule at home on Saturday, Sept. 18 with a 42-7 victory over Division 3A Lakeside Lions, members of the Metro League in Seattle. “I’m really thrilled about our guys stepping up and playing with heart and passion,” said head coach Scott Harris. The Vikings followed up their stunning 21-6 win over Friday Harbor in last week’s Island Cup game with another rock solid team effort. The Orcas offensive line dominated the game by ripping holes in the Lions
defense, which allowed the running backs to amass 456 yards rushing. Seniors Jacob Hansen and Michael Langworthy once again led the way with Hansen exploding for 200 yards on the ground and one touchdown while Langworthy busted through for three touchdowns and 133 yards rushing. Underclassmen Eli Jones, Ty-Shawn Villers, Josh Lawson and Aubrey Schermerhorn all added to the offense in the well rounded victory. Villers and Schermerhorn both contributed touchdown runs as well. Sophomore Daniel Briggs started his first varsity game at QB filling in for injured starter Robbie Padbury. Sophomore Devon Stanzione and
freshman Wayne Foster scored the first points of their careers for the varsity squad. Stanzione caught a two point conversion from Briggs while Foster booted two extra points. “They are an exciting team to watch,” Harris said. “I am particularly proud of Daniel Briggs making the most of his opportunity to lead the team. We have a tough league this year and Tacoma Baptist is next on the schedule ... The Tacoma Baptist game will determine where we stand in the state. We are top ten team now and could break into the top 5 with a win.” The Vikings play Tacoma Baptist at Curtis High School’s stadium on Saturday, Sept. 25 at 2 p.m.
FH girls soccer team defeats Orcas Aggressive play and goals by Clara Brand and Megan Goudie propelled the Friday Harbor Wolverines to a 3-0 win over the Orcas Vikings, Tuesday at Orcas. The Vikings played with high intensity, but the Wolverines outplayed them, doing an excellent job keeping the ball on their half of the field throughout the game and firing numerous shots on goal, team manager Madi McPadden reported.
Orcas sailors compete at Regatta Eight sailors from the Orcas High School Sailing Team traveled to the JAM regatta, hosted by Port Madison Yacht Club, on Sept. 11 and 12. The team enjoyed camping Friday and Saturday nights at Faye Bainbridge State Park, which has a view of the Seattle skyline across Puget Sound. All the sailors competed in the competitive two-person Vanguard 15 class; there were a
total of thirteen boats in the Vanguard class. Fifteen races were completed, with Orcas skipper Jake White and crew Lee Gibbons grabbing the first place hardware. Taylor Smith and Annie Ryder placed fifth, Rhys Thompson and Jules Mann placed ninth and Jamison Rose and Nile Reed placed 12th.

County administrator looks for other employment by SCOTT RASMUSSEN County reporter
San Juan County Administrator Pete Rose is staying put. But it’s not because he hasn’t sought employment elsewhere. In fact, Rose, who joined the county as its first-ever administrator in 2006, nearly landed a job with the city of Milwaukie, Ore., which was seeking to fill a vacant managerial post several months ago. More recently, he was among five finalists vying for a similar soon-to-be vacant position in the city of Issaquah. Rose said that landing either position would have put him back in familiar territory of managing a city, rather than a county, such as San Juan, and been a good career move as well. “Issaquah is a top-notch high-end posting,” he said. “I thought it certainly was worth my time to give it a shot.” In the end, Milwaukie selected someone other than Rose, who said late last week that it appears he’s out of the running for the job in Issaquah, where long-time city manager Leon Kros is retiring after 33 years on the job. Rose added that Milwaukie and Issaquah are each unique in professional challenges and rewards, and that his pursuit of a job outside the county is over for the time being.
“I’m fully engaged and enjoy serving here,” he said of his position with the county. Rose joined the county following a 8-year tenure as city manager of Woodinville, where he supervised seven departments, about 64 full-time employees and an annual operating budget of roughly $9.5 million. Located in King County and near Issaquah, Woodinville has a population of almost 10,000 and covers roughly six square miles. In San Juan, Rose manages as many as 25 separate departments, roughly 150 fulltime employees and an annual budget that totaled $37.2 million in 2010. County Council Chairman Richard Fralick said it’s a fact of life for any organization, whether public or private, to have high-level executives seeking to better themselves professionally or personally. That Rose would do so shouldn’t come as a surprise or cause much disruption within the county ranks, Fralick said. Still, Fralick added he’s relieved that Rose will be sticking around. “Pete from day one has been committed to the county,” he said. “I understand his need to look around personally, and it’s a perfectly normal thing to do. Personally though, it stresses me because I hate very much to see him go.”

Beginning Oct. 4 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the Conference Room at the Orcas Senior Center, the Diabetes Support Group will meet on Mondays. Leaders for this group will be active diabetics Steve Gresham and Joyce Rupp with support from a host of guest medical professionals. The first month’s meetings will be spent discussing feelings and emotions surrounding the disease. “We’ll survey for topics you would like to hear about and set up a monthly schedule of speakers,” Rupp said. “Viewing a specific topic for four weeks from different perspectives should provide thorough coverage and ample time for conversation.” Whether you are “pre-diabetic,” newly diagnosed, pillcontrolled or insulin-dependent, organizers say participants will learn from each other and provide support and good cheer while dealing with this difficult subject. All ages are welcome. No fee will be charged but a little basket to help with room rental or other expenses will be available. Call Joyce Rupp at 370-0591 or the senior center at 3762677 with questions.

EPA grant pays for stormwater treatment in Eastsound by JEFF HANSON
Special to the Sounder
Part of Eastsound is getting a new look, and a new job, over the next year or so. San Juan County Public Works, with funding from an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant, has broken ground on a project to install replacement and new stormwater transport piping in preparation for a planned constructed wetland. The project has been in the planning stages for many years and when completed, is intended to provide Eastsound with an attractive wetlands “park” and other facilities with a purpose: to remove contaminants from runoff before it gets to Fishing Bay. Orcas Excavators, the contractor selected by the county, began first phase of the project on Sept. 15, installing new stormwater pipes from an area near the chapel behind the Outlook Inn to the stormwater outfall across the street. This phase of the project will take approximately two weeks. The constructed wetlands project is planned for Summer 2011 for what the county calls the “Mount Property,” a .9-acre area about 100 feet south of the SeaView Theatre and west of the Eastsound Village Green. Prior to this phase the county plans an extensive public engagement process. According to Ed Hale, San Juan County Utility Manager, the need for stormwater treatment has been recognized since 1994, when the county purchased the Mount Property for the express purpose of stormwater treatment. The present Eastsound stormwater system simply transports the runoff from parking lots, streets, roofs and other impermeable areas of Eastsound directly to Fishing Bay. This runoff contains toxic contaminants from oils and greases on the streets, contaminants from the asphalt itself and from lawn chemicals. The planned stormwater treatment will treat runoff from an area north of the facility and includes a settling pond and a wetlands that mimic natural areas that have the capacity to filter, settle and provide biological treatment for these contaminants, puri-

Hale said constructed wetlands offer more complete treatment than other treatment methods such as sand or other filters, because there is more biological activity. He notes that one of the reasons that the county chose this type of stormwater treatment is that there are other benefits, including providing habitat for a variety of species (birds, amphibians and many others) and are attractive places for people, too, effectively adding park land. The tentative design for the area includes walkways, bridges and benches to provide places for people to enjoy this new attractive and “working” space. The Eastsound project is moving forward thanks to a Puget Sound Watershed Management Assistance Grant awarded to San Juan County earlier this year by the EPA. Mary Knackstedt, coordinator for the San Juan County Marine Resources Committee (MRC), applied for the grant, which also includes funding for providing incentives and technical assistance for home and business owners to incorporate water-purifying low impact development techniques on their property and for the county to write new codes to allow low impact development techniques to qualify as stormwater treatment.
While the engineered wetlands and the rest of the stormwater system will help reduce contaminants in a portion of Eastsound’s runoff, their job could be made a lot easier if more “pre-treatment” is done. According to Knackstedt, there are many steps that businesses, public facilities and homeowners can take to help filter some contaminants out before they even get to the storm drain. By installing landscaping, rain gardens, simple grassy swales and permeable walkways and driveways, more runoff soaks into the ground where it is filtered, and may never even reach a storm drain. From the EPA grant funds, the San Juan Islands Conservation District will be providing both technical support and funding to assist home and business owners in Eastsound to improve the ability of their own properties to reduce stormwater contamination. For more information on this aspect, call Julie Thompson at the County Community Development and Planning Department at 370-7588. Jeff Hanson is the Outreach Coordinator for the San Juan County Marine Resources Committee.

A block watch for county
beaches
By MEREDITH M. GRIFFITH Staff reporter
W
hen little Ozzie the oystercatcher hatched on Indian Island this summer, his home was a busy patch of rock. Enthusiastic low tide visitors wanted to scale the island’s peak, or brought curious dogs with them, and didn’t necessarily know there was a fragile baby nestled on the isle. Volunteers from the Indian Island Marine Health Observatory stepped in, manning watches to guard the path along the tombolo from the beach with friendly smiles and information about Ozzie and his family. Visitors and community responded positively, said Marcia Spees, a WSU Beach Watcher. “Everyone voluntarily stayed off of the green part of the island,” she said. “Most of them were excited to learn about the oystercatchers.” The Indian Island Marine Health Observatory is an Orcas Island group made up of graduates of the WSU Beach Watchers program, along with people from Kwiaht – The Center for Historical Ecology of the Salish Sea, more than 180 kids from Orcas schools, the Bureau of Land Management, the Land Bank and the San Juan Nature Institute. The group began in the summer of 2009, working to identify species that could serve as valid indicators of marine ecosystem health. The Orcas group is just one of five community monitoring groups in the San Juan Islands (on Waldron, Orcas, San Juan,
and two on Lopez) that collect field data from local docks and beaches. Representatives from the five groups gathered in Eastsound on September 15 to meet one another, share their work and dialogue with members of the San Juan County Marine Resources Committee. Volunteers want to understand how human activities affect local marine life and share that knowledge with islanders, visitors and other researchers. They also want to involve local kids in the discovery process; many at the meeting noted that today’s bright-eyed students of the tide-pools will be tomorrow’s marine stewardship policy-makers. One key concept for the groups is “this idea that ordinary people in a community can be involved in actual legitimate scientific field work that has the opportunity to actually influence governmental policy,” Spees told the Sounder. “You have a whole county full of people who know a lot about the environment they live in. It’s grassroots politics.” Lead speakers included WSU Beach Watchers coordinator Shann Weston and Russell Barsh of Kwiaht, but many volunteers also shared their experiences and ideas for the future. Barsh said the marine monitoring network has nearly 100 volunteers, with a core of 65 very active people who conduct field and lab work each month. “Total volunteer effort county-wide is at least 4500 hours per year,” he said. “Orcas alone is 16 core volunteers and about 1000 hours per year.”

Many of the community monitoring volunteers have attended the WSU Beach Watchers program, which offers non-scientists professional-level environmental education in exchange for volunteer hours. Weston said she will soon be adjusting the format for Beach Watchers classes to make them more accessible. The organizations welcome volunteers, and if marine monitoring sounds dull to you, think again; word is Barsh does a fabulous impression of an Orange Peel Nudibranch. “It’s open to anyone who wants to volunteer,” said Spees. “Some people are just passionate about the environment and the sea.” “Everyone involved
is motivated by different things, but they’re all working towards this goal; they still work together well,” added Jeff Hanson, Outreach Coordinator for the San Juan County Marine Resources Committee.

F.E.A.S.T. stands for “Farm Education And Sustainability for Teens” and this year marks the fourth successful year of the program. A F.E.A.S.T. fundraiser is set for Saturday, Oct. 2. With the harvest season upon us, the F.E.A.S.T. program is gearing up for their annual fundraising dinner on Saturday, Oct. 2. “This year promises to be a spectacular event,” said organizer Owen Cheevers. “The sunset beach dinner will be held in a warm banquet tent on Brandt’s Beach, gratuitously hosted by Orcas Events. Appetizers of woodfired pizza, compliments of Soul Flour, will begin at 5:30 p.m., followed by a locally grown meal cooked by Yuriko Bullock & Libi Geddes.” F.E.A.S.T. stands for “Farm Education And Sustainability for Teens” and this year marks the fourth successful year of the program. “As Orcas Island knows well, a sustainable community requires a diversity of skills, creativity, hard work, education, participa-
tion, health and fun,” said Cheevers. “With all of these in mind, The F.E.A.S.T. program aims to teach high school students the importance of creating a sustainable, healthy planet. In the process, it has changed lives. Many students have gone on to continue working in the field of sustainability on island and off.” Each summer a group of teens join F.E.A.S.T. and earn high school credit as they learn valuable skills from and work with members of the community. In one summer students learned from over a dozen local community members, farmers, artists, mycologists, biologists, builders and teachers. Subjects covered each summer include bee-keeping, wild crafted medicines, mycology, farming, blacksmithing, woodworking, solar energy, biodynamic farming, com-
posting, permaculture, food preservation, natural building and more. “This not only gives teens a rich, broad understanding of their community, but also supports many farmers and individuals in the community,” said Cheevers. “Many of these skills are vital to be shared and practiced to create a healthy planet. The greatest tool we have in saving the planet, endangered species, polluted ecosystems, is us, local community groups coming together and taking action.” Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at The Chamber of Commerce, Smith and Speed, and Darvill’s. Vegetarian tickets also available. To get to Brandt’s Beach, use Brandt’s Landing Entrance, take a left though the gate just before Smugglers Cove.

Triple Ripple Trail Running Festival
“Are you ready to rumble? Orcas Island Triple Ripple Trail Running Festival is just two weeks away!” says co-race director Susannah Beck. The Orcas Island Triple Ripple Trail Festival is now in the final stages of preparation for its Oct. 2-3 debut at the Environmental Learning Center at Moran State Park. Race organizers Jen Vollmer and Beck are expecting approximately 50 runners from as far away as Vermont to attend. The race festival offers three running races: a four miler around Mountain Lake, a 10-kilometer hill climb up Mt. Constitution, and a 30K trail run that traverses all of the park’s most beautiful trails, with a special award for ‘Trail Monsters’ who complete all three events. “We wanted to create an event that
encouraged running and fitness on the island; there aren’t that many races here, for such a great trail system. So we are expecting a lot of locals for the four miler. The 30K is a draw for people from a lot farther away, while the 10K climb is just kind of a crazy event that needs to exist,” said Beck, who designed the courses. “And yes, there isn’t a lot of sense to running three races in two days, but it’s been a popular format in other parts of the country, and does give you an excuse to hang out with other runners for a weekend. There’s something for everyone.” The festival will also feature a twopart Chi Running workshop with Seattle’s Laura Houston, music from Orcas’ Dust Bunnies and others, and food from local farms. Bunkhouse
lodging is available at the park’s Environmental Learning Center (ELC). The Triple Ripple is a fundraiser for The Funhouse and Friends of Moran State Park. Runners from The Funhouse running programs get free entry. The four-miler starts Saturday, October 2, at 9 a.m. at Mountain Lake. The other two races start at the ELC on Sunday, October 3, with the 30K starting at 8 a.m. and the 10K at 3 p.m. More information, registration forms and maps are available at http:// triplerippletrailfestival.blogspot.com/. Registration will be available in person at the ELC on Friday afternoon from 3 to 8 p.m., and Saturday morning at Mountain Lake from 8 to 8:30 a.m. For more information, call 376-5118.
Fall kids’ programs at Orcas Library The fall schedule for storytimes for kids at Orcas Island Library will begin on Saturday, Oct. 2 at the Library instead of at the Farmers’ Market on the Village Green. Saturday storytimes are from 11:30 a.m. to noon; Thursday storytimes are held from 10 to 10:30 am. They take place in the Children’s room at Orcas Island Library. Storytimes are designed for children ages three to six years of age, but all children are welcome to attend. Registration is not necessary. Kids are invited to come and enjoy both traditional and new stories to delight the imagination. The Table of Contents Book Club for kids in
grades four through six meets the third Thursday of each month at 3:30 p.m. at Darvill’s Bookstore. The next meeting will be on Thursday, Oct. 21 where “Toby and the Secrets of the Tree” by Timothee de
Fombelle will be discussed. Kids who want to participate can pick up a free copy of the book at Orcas Island Library. Books are made available through grants from Friends of the Orcas Island Library and
Mia’s Cafe
from OICF. The book club is co-sponsored by Orcas Island Library and Darvill’s Bookstore. For more information on any of these programs, contact Children’s Librarian, Nita Couchman, at 3764985.
‘Unraveling our own Life’s Journey’ Polly Sanford and Kathi Ciskowski are presenting a workshop on how to create a personal life chart on Friday, Sept. 24 from 7:30 to 9 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 25 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. “Each one of us has a life that unfolds in an individual and unique way, and that is what makes us who we are in the world,” Ciskowski said. “Yet, when we look at our life stories we begin to see the rhythms and patterns that not only form us, but also connect us to one another with objectivity and compassion. In studying our own ‘biography,’ we develop an awareness of ourselves that affects how we view our families, friends, and co-workers, deepening our relationships with them.” Participants will look at an overview of the phases, rhythms and patterns of life, and work with fairy tales and various artistic exercises to enliven their memories and stories and to see their own lives and those of others as an archetypal journey through time. The suggested donation for the workshop is $40. Call Kathi Ciskowski at 376-4186 or email at ciskokid@rockisland.com to register.

Jeff Hanson retires from dog park duties
PET OF THE WEEK
by COLLEEN S. ARMSTRONG Editor
Shadow is the newest oldster at the Shelter. Adoption is so easy: no fee to park or to adopt. Her sweet nature will win you over. She’ll be in the lobby to greet you any day 2-5. Call 376-6777. All animals are on the web: www.orcaspets.org.
An integral force behind the Orcas Off Leash Area is stepping down. Jeff Hanson, the community “go to” person for all things dog park related, says it is time for someone else to take over. “My other responsibilities have really kept me from putting in the energy that the dog park deserves,” said Hanson, who owns Pawki’s pet store with his wife Deb. Hanson is also the Outreach Coordinator for the San Juan County Marine Resources Committee.
“Deb and I will continue to be strong supporters,” he said. “I’m thrilled with what’s happened with the dog park over the years and the reception it’s gotten from the community.” Orcas Off Leash Area board member – and frequent dog park user – Judy Dorman is stepping up to fill Hanson’s paws, er, shoes. Hanson became involved with the Orcas Off Leash Area shortly after moving to Orcas in 2007 from southern Oregon. As the proud owner of mixed breeds Rubi and Logan,

He and organizer Robin Freeman saw the need to move the dog park from the Orcas Animal Shelter property to a more visible location. Freeman arranged to lease land from the Port of Orcas, where the current park stands today (the original dog park is still at the shelter). As a 501(c)3, the Orcas Off Leash Area thrives on volunteer effort. “Some of the ongoing challenges are keeping up the volunteer hours and the dialogue and making sure people follow the rules,” Hanson said. “And keeping the operations of the off-leash area funded. We encourage the users and those who appreciate the off-leash area to become ‘OOLA Stewards’ with a donation of $25.” A future challenge lies in the Port of Orcas lease, which only goes through May 2014. “It’s very likely it will need to move,” Hanson said. “It would be ideal if it could become part of the park and rec district. It would give it some consistency.” Hanson is enthusiastic about the current off leash area board, calling them “active” and “upbeat.” “I think they’re going to nurture it really well,” he said. “The most amazing thing about the dog park is that it brings together people of all ages, incomes, and philosophies. It’s a great social experience.”

‘Computers, Cognition & Garden Club Katie Creativity in Visual Arts’ lecture lines up speakers Gray to A lecture event with internationally acclaimed artist Harold Cohen, who is also the originator of the computer program AARON, will open the Orcas Crossroads Lecture Series on Sunday, Sept. 26 at 2 p.m. at Orcas Center. The title of the lecture event is “Computers, Cognition and Creativity in the Visual Arts.” Cohen
was an acclaimed Londonbased visual artist when he discovered computers in 1968, as a Visiting Professor at the University of California, San Diego. He never returned to London. Instead he began researching autonomous machine intelligence for making art. Cohen’s celebrated AARON program was first developed
in Stanford University’s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in 1973. Cohen will present a lecture about the relationships between cognition, creativity and computers, then participate in a questionand-answer period with the audience and join attendees for a public reception in the Madrona Room at the Orcas Center on Sept. 26. Attendees are advised to arrive early for this lecture for a slideshow of AARON’s art at 1:45 p.m All costs are included in the $10 ticket price, and tickets are available at Orcas Island Public Library, Darvill’s Bookstore or online at orcascrossroads.org.
Marlyn Myers, President of the Orcas Island Garden Club, is ecstatic over this year’s presenters. The line-up includes authors, professors, horticulturists, researchers, botanists, filmmakers, and owners of highly successful nurseries and gardens. From Orcas, Cindy Morgan, owner of the Nest, will teach holiday decorating and Michael Budnick, owner of Northwest Concepts, will explore use of native plants. Other presenters will be coming from San Juan, Port Townsend, Marysville, and the Seattle area. Topics range from GMO seeds,
to hardy fuchsias, landscape design, and how to cope with various pest and plant issues. Probably the most well-known speaker, radio and TV personality, Ciscoe Morris, will be sharing his expertise in April. “Everyone loves Ciscoe and he can speak on anything related to gardening,” Myers said. The Garden Club meets the third Wednesday of the month at the Orcas Center. The public is invited, but to enjoy the full benefits, they encourage membership. Contact Marlyn Myers for more information at 3766110.
How do we reason spiritually? • How do we spiritualize thought? A practical in-depth talk on how to pray through difficult challenges Accounts of healing discussed: finding work midst unemployment a child’s ear ache • sports injury, and cancer
perform Orcas Island’s own Katie Gray will be making a rare appearance on the island for an evening of music. On Thursday, Sept. 23, Gray will team up with the duo Khadoma and Kevin at the Deer Harbor Community Club. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. “The vibrations for the night will be high as we cultivate an evening of love and sweetness,” organizers say. Concert-goers are asked to bring pillows and blankets for floor seating. Chairs will also be available. Tickets are available at Darvill’s bookstore for $15.

Cast for ‘Little Women’ announced Emmanuel presents Robert Hall, who will direct a stage adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic “Little Women,” has completed the casting for the production, which will be performed in Orcas Center’s OffCenter Stage in late October and early November. Because several characters grow from childhood to young adulthood in the course of the story, Hall decided to double cast these characters with both young and adult actors. The young cast includes Brigid Ehrmantraut as Meg, Adia Dolan as Jo, Ariel Vergen as Beth, Claire Bishop Martin as Amy, and
Jared Grantham as John Brooke. Taking over as the adult characters are: Cara Russell as Meg, Maria Massey as Jo, Ariel Leckbond as Beth, Jamie Mulligan-Smith as Amy, Zak Knight as Laurie and Ron Herman as John Brooke. Other roles include Marmee (Valerie Buxbaum), Aunt March (Deborah Sparks), Mr. March (Evan Buxbaum), and the Professor (Indy Zoeller). Hall is also adding an interesting element to the production by creating the narrator character of Louisa May Alcott, who will be played by Annette
Mazzarella. Michele Griskey will join the company as dramaturge, which involves developing the added narrative which will come from Alcott’s memoirs and letters. Beth Baker, who last played Rose in “Gypsy,” will stage manage. “Little Women” will run for six performances Oct. 28 to 30 and Nov. 4 to 6. Tickets are $13 and $9 for students. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit orcascenter.org or call or 360/376-2281 ext 1 or visit Orcas Center during box office hours, ThursdaySaturday, noon to 4 p.m.
‘Blessing of the Animals’ Bishop Anderson and the members of Emmanuel Episcopal Parish invite the community to a Blessing of the Animals in commemoration of St. Francis Day on Sunday, Oct. 3. All members of the community are welcome to the Worship Service beginning at 10 a.m. The blessing of animals of all sizes and shapes will be held at 11:30 a.m. on the lawn between the church and Parish Hall. Francis of Assisi, Friar (1182-1226), one of the most beloved of saints in the Christian Church, was born into a privileged family but later renounced all material things and devoted himself to serve the poor. Founded by St. Francis, the Order of Franciscans grew rapidly throughout Europe. In addition to his personal humility and devotion to the poor, Francis is remembered for his love of creation and all creatures.

Halley McCormick selected as National Merit semifinalist Orcas High School senior Halley McCormick has been selected as one of 16,000 semifinalists in the 2011 National Merit Scholarship program. The National Merit Scholarship program honors students who show exceptional academic ability and potential for success in rigorous college studies. Semifinalists may continue in the process to compete for 8,400 National Merit Scholarships totaling over $36 million, to be awarded next spring. Roughly 90 percent of semifinalists will achieve finalist standing, with about half earning scholarships. The competition, now in its 56th year, is administered by the non-profit National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). “Scholarships are underwritten by NMSC
and about 450 business organizations and higher education institutions that share NMSC’s goal of honoring the nation’s scholastic champions and encouraging the pursuit of academic excellence,” reads a recent NMSC press release. The semifinalists were selected out of a pool of 1.5 million high school juniors who took the Preliminary SAT, and represent less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors. The competition to become a finalist includes submission of an essay as well as information about each student’s participation and leadership in school and community activities. For more information about the competition, visit NMSC’s Web site at www. nationalmerit.org.
Japanese flower arranging class Joan D. Stamm will teach a “Japanese Flower Arranging (Ikebana)” class at Emmanuel’s Old Parish Hall on Saturday, Sept. 25. Beginners are welcome, and no previous experience is necessary. The cost is $10. Students bring their own plant/flower material and clippers; Stamm provides flower holders, water containers and extra flowers if needed. Class starts at 2 p.m. with a short talk, demonstration and centering meditation, then students practice their own arrangement while Stamm gives individual
instruction. Tea and goodies are served informally. The class will finish by 4 p.m. Stamm is the author of “Heaven and Earth are Flowers: Reflections on Ikebana and Buddhism” (available through Darvill’s). She has studied ikebana in
Japan and Seattle and holds Shihan (authorization to teach) from the Saga School of Ikebana located in Kyoto. For pre-registration, e-mail Stamm at jstamm@ seanet.com, call 376-1035, or visit her web site at www. JoanDStamm.com.

AVOID SCAMS By Dealing Locally
1. Deal with folks you can meet in person. You can avoid most scams if you follow this rule. 2. Never wire funds via Western Union, Money Gram or any other money transfer service. Generally if you are asked to do this, it is a scam. 3. Beware non-local buyers who want to pay you with a Cashier’s Check or Money Order. Fraudlent, fake Cashier’s Checks and Money Orders are common, your bank will cash them then hold you responsible when the fake is discovered weeks later. 4. Beware of non-local buyers who offer you MORE than the asking price for your item to cover “shipping” or “agents” cost. This is a scam. 5. Beware of non-local buyers who only want to communicate over the internet via email. This is a common tactic by scammers. Finally if the offer for your item sounds too good to be true it just might be a scam.
If you feel you have been a victim of a scam or fraud contact the FTC toll free hotline: 877-FTC-HELP (877-382-4357) or online at

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. http://agr.wa.gov/inspection/ weightsMeasures/ Firewoodinformation.aspx
