Senior projects unveiled

by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter

Before they graduate, students have a big task to tick off their list: senior projects.

These ventures are a culmination of a year of work and will be presented to an audience of community members, fellow students and faculty on June 8 for OASIS students in the school library and June 12 on campus for Orcas Island School seniors.

“The presentation is not simply to show off the project, but a chance to explain the process of accomplishing it,” said Jill Sherman, OHS senior advisor.

“The challenges, the surprises and modifications are often some of the best lessons.”

The students specialized their studies in an area of personal interest, and using that knowledge created everything from fundraising to musical endeavors to athletics.

Many projects were born out of a look at needs in the community.

Orcas High School senior Mykal Keyes often drove by the food bank and just seeing the cars parked nearby made her want to jump into action.

Keyes is holding a benefit dinner for the food bank as her senior project. She is hoping to raise $1,000 with the dinner. School chef Zach Holley is helping with the endeavor. The menu will be enchiladas and people have a choice between chicken or bean, Spanish rice, coleslaw and lemonade or water. The dinner is on Thursday, May 9 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the school cafeteria. Keyes will be selling tickets at Island Market on May 5 from noon to 2 p.m.

Tickets are $5 for kids and $10 for adults. You can also buy them directly from Keyes at mykal. keyes@gmail.com.

Morgan Sabine, another senior

The Orcas Island High School senior class of 2013 will present their final projects this June. at Orcas Island High School, is organizing a half marathon through Moran State Park on May 4. The race will start at 10 a.m. with the half marathon runners going first, followed by the 10K and then 5K. It is $25 to enter the run, which is called “The Human Race.” All funds will go to helping

L-R: Bob Jarman, Rick Hughes & Jamie Stephens will comprise the new three-person council.

by SCOTT RASMUSSEN Journal editor

Familiar faces will be at the helm of local government’s legislative branch and executive branch as a new chapter unfolds in the 100-plus-year history of San Juan County.

On April 23, voters backed the reelection

bids of three county council incumbents in a first countywide election in seven years – excluding February’s primary, handing Lopez Island’s Jamie Stephens a decisive victory in the District 3 race, 57 percent of 7,036 ballots cast, and selecting Bob Jarman, District 1 (San Juan), and Rick Hughes, District 2 (Orcas),

each by a razor-thin margin.

The newly elected council will be sworn into office May 13.

Jarman, who six months ago defeated thencouncil incumbent Lovel Pratt in a “districtonly” election for the former 6-person council position, bested Pratt in last week’s “special election” by only 113 votes (50.5 percent), just 14 more on the plus side than when the two squared off in November. Although he expected the outcome to be close, Jarman believed the odds of reelection were good despite finishing second in February’s threeway primary race.

“When I looked at the primary numbers I felt pretty sure I’d get most of Marc’s votes (Councilman Marc Forlenza), and that it would be a pretty close race,” Jarman said.

“Then when it got down to the wire and anyone would ask me, I’d say, ‘just toss a coin’. But

Meet the new directors of the Orcas Island Community Band

by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter

Having more than one job. Pitching in when others

need help. Working many jobs. It’s all part of living in an island community. So it makes sense that Karen

Speck and Jim ShafferBauck have stepped up to fill the vacancy of director for the community band for the spring and into the fall.

“We are deeply grateful to them for stepping up for this major responsibility,” said Community Band President Moana Kutsche.

Speck and Shaffer-Bauck, shown at right, are both members of the band, which makes directing interesting because they take turns playing their instruments and leading the group.

Shaffer-Bauck is known for his skill in percussion – often leading that section of the band. He describes his new role as quite a change.

“At the first rehearsal I felt out of my element. It’s

like playing a role in theater – you have to get a sense of what it feels like,” he said.

“A lot of it is relaxing and letting your brain do the work. Now rehearsals zip by … it’s challenging and it’s stimulating.”

He also sings in the Choral Society, plays the trombone and is teaching himself to play the viola.

Kutsche said Shaffer-Bauck has gone beyond keeping a steady beat to giving the music shape and fluidity.

Speck, also a talented musician, plays the trombone and euphonium and has stepped into the role of conductor when needed over the past several years For Speck, the division of duties has been a perfect fit.

“Jim and I both have been involved in island music for 20 plus years and we come from a background of being team players,” she said.

Being musicians has also helped them to understand both sides of the coin,

which Speck describes as akin to an actor going into directing.

“Her enthusiasm really comes through … she bounces,” Kutsche said. “It’s like watching a drum major conduct – a lot of good energy and enthusiasm.”

The band is diverse with members from sixth grade to 80 years old.

“It’s really all about listening,” said Shaffer-Bauck. “I feel like I am the ears for group.”

The band is always looking for new members no matter how much dust has accumulated on their sheet music or instruments.

“I would encourage anyone who has an interest in reviving their musical abilities, or in learning an instrument to get involved,” Shaffer-Bauck said.

Early education moves to head of class When President Barack Obama made Early Childhood Education a priority earlier this year, you may have heard a collective whoop echo along North Beach Road, artery to four Orcas early learning centers, Children’s House, Salmonberry, Montessori and Kaleidoscope.

“My first thought was, ‘finally!’” says Teresa Chocano, Montessori executive director. “But then I thought, wait.

Where’s the money?”

Fortunately, Washington state is one step ahead in prioritizing early education, having recently won a $60 million grant for Early Achievers, a quality rating and improvement project that rolls out to San Juan County Pre-K schools in July. All four Orcas schools want to participate in the program, which is expected to take up to 12 months to complete.

Without endorsing any particular curriculum, the Washington Department of Early Learning developed Early Achievers as a system to define and measure overall center quality. So while licensed centers have long been required to meet safety, environment and teaching standards, says Amber Paulsen, executive director of Kaleidoscope, “Early Achievers raises the bar for quality expectations and defines the benchmarks by which our centers will be measured.”

Research has shown that high quality early learning education has long-term economic and social benefits for children.

“But we have struggled for years trying to define and rate 'high quality education,’ explains Sage MacLeod, director of San Juan County Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program. “With Early Achievers in our Orcas centers, we can measure and be certain that our schools are providing the highest quality learning opportunities for our children, leading them to kindergarten readiness and life long success."

Coaches, specialists and mentors will observe how well teachers and schools meet six integral elements of quality care-giving: family partnering; everyday interactions; strong curriculums; regular child assessments; individualized teaching; and professional development and training.

They’ll make recommendations for center enhancements and improvements and at the conclusion of the program provide a comprehensive assessment of each school and some financial incentives.

Children’s House Executive Director, Susan Anderson, acknowledges the four centers have unique educational philosophies but says they’re united in their desire to provide quality early education for all island children.

“Early Achievers gives us an opportunity to tap state funds for materials, professional expertise and additional staff education – all this in keeping with our educational philosophies,” says Anderson.

The schools are seeking additional support for the program through a combination of grants, professional scholarships and fundraising. They estimate the program’s combined cost at more than $120,000, with Early Achievers underwriting about half.

“Enrollment is voluntary but not without an investment from us,” says Eliza Morris, administrative director of Salmonberry. “We’ve sought additional financial support to ensure we have the best chance at meeting and exceeding the benchmarks.”

In conjunction with the program, the four centers will host an annual event to familiarize Pre-K families with the benefits of early learning, give centers an opportunity to introduce their program philosophies and educate families on the quality standards they can expect from all four island centers.

Sheriff: watch out First market of for phone scam

the year

The Sheriff ’s Office received reports from Friday Harbor residents on April 23 about a possible scam to obtain personal identifying information.

A caller, representing himself as being from Medicare, attempted to “verify” person information, including name, address, and social security number, under the guise of sending out new Medicare cards.

“There are many scams both by phone and online, where criminals are attempt-

ing to obtain personal identifying information for the purpose of committing identity theft and financial fraud crimes,” said Sheriff Rob Nou. “The government and banks do not initiate unsolicited calls to ‘verify’ information.”

Nou says it’s important to know who you are talking to and do not share person identifying information, account numbers or credit card information with unknown parties.

Learning the art of customer service

I

t’s the first week of May, which means the summer tourist season is just around the corner.

Our island communities are known for being friendly to visitors, but we can still be reminded about treating tourists kindly. We know they are a major stimulus for our economy, but sometimes it’s difficult to be welcoming when the check-out lines are longer and bicyclists take up part of the road. And for those working in local businesses, their customer service skills need to be top notch.

If tourists have a positive experience here, they are more likely to return. And bring their friends.

The Orcas Island Chamber – in partnership with the Outlook Inn – is offering a refresher course on the basics of customer service for its members.

Zingerman’s training DVDs will be presented on Friday, May 3 from 11 a.m. to noon or 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Eastsound Fire Station.

The two videos are “Three Steps to Giving Great Service” and “5 Steps to Effectively Handling a Complaint.” A group discussion will follow the video showings. RSVP to the chamber at info@orcasislandchamber.com or call 376-2273.

So as the ferries start to get overloaded and baristas are staring down a line of 10 customers, remember to take a deep breath and be grateful for the visitors who came all the way here to enjoy a place we call home 365 days of the year.

your business?

Most of us can say yes. We’ve lost opportunities, treatment, and money. Sometimes lots of money.

And the frequency of ferry breakdowns is increasing. Witness the last couple weeks: three of five boats out of service. We have had the surcharge we paid (to build a fund for new boats) taken away and given to the disastrous floating bridge project. The rest of the ferry system has better on-time records, fewer breakdowns and cancelled runs, and other options when problems arise. They also have newer, cleaner boats and more galley service.

A ferry worker recently told me that the Kaleetan (a large ferry) is now doing the Bainbridge run because those folks wanted a boat with a galley that could make their lattes. Seriously!

At a time when the San Juans are being touted as one of the top destinations in the world and the nation, and we have received National Monument status, the health of our marine highway should be addressed.

The question is “what can we do about it?” Grousing to the ferry

Carol Hooper San Juan Island

DH Fire Station has been completed

by KEVIN O’BRIEN Orcas Fire Chief

Orcas Island Fire and Rescue is pleased to report to our community that we have completed the construction of Deer Harbor Station 24.

We believe that the new station will improve our services in EMS, life safety, fire and rescue. OIFR is committed to maintaining strict fiscal responsibility and transparency in all our operations. With this in mind, we issue the following report to the community regarding the construction of Station 24.

In 1999, voters approved a special levy to improve EMS, Fire, and Rescue services on Orcas Island. We have achieved the following objectives of the levy from which we are currently funded: • Construction of Headquarters Station 21 (2002) • Two Structural Fire Engines (2004) • Two Vacuum Tenders (Water Trucks, 2007) • Four WASP Engines (2009) • One Rescue Truck (2009) • Two Ambulances (2001 and 2009) • Improved Volunteer Benefits (For recruitment and retention) • A full time paramedic on duty at Station 21, 24 hours a day • The purchase of Westsound Station 22 (2011) • The construction of Deer Harbor Station 24 Because of strong financial management practices, OIFR currently has no debt for any of our facilities or equipment.

Through strategic planning processes and addressing future growth in the community, the Board of Fire Commissioners autho-

rized the construction of a new fire station in Deer Harbor to improve our response to EMS, fire, rescue, or any other incident.

Beginning in 2008, OIFR reached out to the community of Deer Harbor to seek citizen involvement in the process of planning and development.

Through a competitive bid process, Wellman and Zuck Construction was hired to complete phase one of the project, which resulted in the construction of an apparatus bay that was able to house four response vehicles and a “shell” of a building that would have the ability to be finished in the future. Ground was officially “broken” on June 30, 2010. OIFR recognized cost savings could be found for future improvements to Station 24 by hiring Wellman and Zuck to complete additional projects outside of the original bid: rough electrical, rough plumbing, fire sprinkler system, insulation throughout building, concrete slabs, aprons and driveways, shed roofs over man doors and copula addition.

Commissioner Duke provided the roofing labor at no charge to the district. He also gave significant volunteer hours throughout the building process.

The commissioners of OIFR approved phase two funding in October of 2012 by hiring Natural Home Builders to finish the main and second floors of Station 24. Many OIFR members and community participants volunteered precious time in planning, consulting, meeting, and laboring for the project.

Auditor’s report According to the Washington State Auditor, in the district’s pursuit to

reduce costs, we have violated small works regulations.

Results from the 20102011 audit performed by the Washington State Auditor will say that OIFR should not have accepted volunteer labor from Duke.

Additionally, the auditor will state that the district should have gone out to bid for the cost-saving opportunities provided by Wellman and Zuck found in phase one.

Orcas Island Fire and Rescue accepts responsibility for the findings with the response that our actions were driven by the goal of saving taxpayer dollars while improving service to our community.

Total costs Building anything in the San Juan Islands is costly considering the expenses of transport and logistics.

Public projects add factors not required in the private sector. The following are some critical elements that affected the cost: prevailing wage as determined by the state of Washington; regulations and community mandates directing design, construction practices, and landscaping; utilities; logistics. The following is a cost breakdown for construction of Station 24: 2008-2009: Design, engineering, permitting, legal, insurance, architectural: $136,986.

2010: Wellman and Zuck construction: $763,722.

2012-2013: Phase Two, Natural Home Builders: $129,417.52 Today, the community of Deer Harbor has a fully operational fire station housing four response vehicles. The facility is equipped with a meeting room, kitchen, two large dorm rooms, a large train-

ing room, a communications office, two bathrooms, and record storage.

By June of 2013, we plan to have volunteer residents living at Station 24 with the ability to respond to any incident. This will improve incident response times, provide better service, and offer an effective maintenance program for the facility.

In the event of a major emergency incident such as an earthquake or large wildland fire, Station 24 could be used as an emergency shelter and coordination center.

OIFR is planning to use Station 24 as an EMS training center where our personnel can experience hands-on training in a focused environment.

We often host visiting instructors and presenters who provide training and education to our members. Station 24 can serve as accommodations for our visitors.

OIFR looks to work with the Deer Harbor community to open the current occupancy status of Station 24 to allow public meetings and events. We believe that since Deer Harbor Station 24 is owned by the public, it should be open to the public. It is the community’s fire station.

Marine Watch Squalls acanthias- spiny dogfish

F

ishing season is starting up for Marine Area 7, the San Juan Islands. Lingcod opens May 1st. Then shrimp on May 4th. Crab season and then everyone’s favorite, salmon fishing.

Bottom fishing is a great way to spend the day and opened most of the year. But it always seams while bottom fishing, some type of by-catch (unwanted fish) is always caught. Rockfish and dogshark are perfect examples. While rockfish remain closed to fishing for conservation, ( a rockfish can live over one hundred years) dogfish, also known as spiny dogfish, spurdog, mud shark, or piked dogfish, remain open here in Area 7.

Spiny dogfish are fished for food in Europe, the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Chile. The meat is primarily consumed in England, France, and Germany. The fins and tails are processed into fin needles and are used in less expensive versions of shark fin soup in Chinese cuisine. In England this and other dogfish are sold in fish and chip shops as “rock salmon” or “huss”. In France it is sold as “small salmon” and in Belgium and Germany it is sold as “sea eel”. It is also used as fertilizer, liver oil, and pet food.

Once the most abundant shark species in the world, populations of Squalus acanthias, (dogfish) have declined significantly.

They are classified in the IUCN Red List of threatened species as Vulnerable globally and Critically Endangered in the Northeast Atlantic, meaning stocks around Europe have decreased by at least 95%! This is a direct result of over fishing to supply northern Europe’s taste for Rock Salmon, Saumonette or Zeepaling.

Despite these alarming figures, very few management or conservation measures are in place for Squalus acanthias.

This stuck a cord for Deer Harbor Charters. This year we will be offering CATCH & RELEASE Fishing Charters from Deer Harbor Marina. We will be catching, examining, recording and releasing these small sharks. It will be a great way to get on the water and almost be guaranteed to catch a fish, and do so in a conservation minded manner. We hope to be working and recording the catches and species of fish with biologists and researchers in hopes that our data will be useful in proper management and conservation of the species.

Tom and Nate Averna operate Deer Harbor Charters. Marine Watch is a bi-weekly column with news and information about the local wildlife and news from around the world regarding the marine environment.

light was Anthony Kaskurs hitting 4/5 with three doubles and six RBI's. Passer said Kaskurs “hit hard and had a great game. He is only a freshman.”

In addition, Bullock, Rylan Date and Devon Stanzione all scored three runs each with Stanzione hitting 4/6 with singles and a double while Trent Johns hit 3/5 with three base hits.

“We are starting to play better against tougher competition but still need to be more aggressive on defense,” Passer said. “We finished

third in the Northwest 1A/2B League against 2B schools and have a playoff game next week against either Seattle Lutheran or Tacoma Baptist.”

Softball The (9-2) Viking softball team dominated a double header against the (4-6) Darrington Loggers on April 23, winning both games 19-2.

Previously beating the Loggers only 3-2, the Viking bats dialed in a barrage of hard hits, limiting both Colleen Smith Armstrong/Staff photo

games to five innings per the 10 run lead rule.

Later in the week the (9-3) Vikings lost a close game 8-7 in extra innings to the (10-4) LaConner Braves.

After an unexpected blowout win earlier in the season against the strong Brave team, the Vikings knew they had a game on their hands early as both teams struggled for the lead throughout the game.

The loss creates the potential for a three-way tie for first place in the Northwest 1A/2B League between Orcas, Friday Harbor and LaConner with final league standings determined by the game results this week.

The team traveled to Blaine on April 27 for an all-day tournament that was rained out by 1 p.m. The Lady Vikings were able to finish one game, tieing 9 to 9 with Blaine.

They played two strong innings against Anacortes

before the downpour halted the game. Orcas was up 10 to 0.

Golf The Viking Golf team played the Friday Harbor Wolverines in an impressive match on April 22.

“We had a great match,” said Coach Justin Taylor.

“Both William Coe and Graye Parnell shot really well. Graye had his best score of the year shooting a 40 and got a birdie in a match, which was one of his goals for the year. He is a senior and has worked very hard on his game and it has really showed in his scores.”

Leading the Vikings was Parnell shooting a 40, Coe 41, Roo Smith 49, Mara Nutt 68 and Zach Kostechko 70.

The Vikings play Cedar Park Christian this week.

Obituaries Loren Bruce Gilbertson Loren Bruce Gilbertson, 64, passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 18, 2013, amongst his family at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bellingham, Wash.

Loren was born on Jan. 7, 1949 to William and Elvera Gilbertson in Braham, Minn.

During high school, Loren visited Orcas Island with a friend and shortly after graduating from high

on the faces of those around him. Loren enjoyed history, sitting by his fire listening to the radio, and spending time with his friends and family.

Loren is survived by his loving wife, Margery Rae Gilbertson; brother, Gary Gilbertson and wife Alice Gilbertson; son, Timothy A. Gilbertson; and daughter, Rae A. Gilbertson Alberg and her spouse.

Condolences may be sent to PO Box 127, Orcas Wash., 98280.

a friendship right where it had left off the last time.

In 1955 he met his love Gladys Nancy Tweddell and in 1960 they were married and settled in Seattle, Wash.

Throughout their many happy years together, they shared numerous laughs along with a love for travel, British movies, and literature.

In 1966 their first son, Roger, was born followed

by Craig in 1967. A devoted father, Gordon led his children by example and, infinitely patient and loving, was always there to answer questions day or night and to provide unerringly sound guidance.

As a professional engineer, Gordon worked at Boeing for many years before establishing GibsonFrundt engineering along with his partner and friend, Richard Frundt.

Forever the engineer, he was always ready with a pocket calculator, a pencil, or even a foggy car windscreen to diagram out a system or to jot down any one of a myriad of formulas that he kept in his head.

From 1968 to the present Gordon was president of North Beach Inn and, along with his two sisters, worked for many long years to help keep the business in the family.

Along with the help of his two sons, Gordon built two of the larger cabins at the Inn and was instrumental in guiding many of the overall business and mechanical aspects. There was virtually nothing he could not fix and even the smallest switch or most integral mechanical item rarely surpassed his ability to repair it.

In 1999 Gordon and Gladys sold their house of almost 40 years in Seattle and moved to Mt. Vernon in Skagit County to be nearer to Craig and Heather and their growing family.

Even after retiring from engineering, Gordon spent a considerable amount of time on Orcas working on the family business in the company of his son Roger.

Gordon and Gladys took many trips to Europe over the years, sometimes with their two sons but most often with just each other.

Most recently they completed individually taking each of their three grandsons to Europe: Riley to England and France in 2006, Royce to Scotland and England in 2009, and Keegan to Wales and England in 2012.

Visitation was held on April 25 at Evan’s Funeral Chapel in Anacortes, Wash. and a funeral service was held on April 26 at Emmanuel Episcopal Church on Orcas Island, where he has been a member since his confirmation.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Emmanuel Episcopal or to the Orcas Senior Center.

Arrangements are in the care of Evans Funeral Chapel and Crematory, Inc., Anacortes, WA and the San Juan Islands.

June 1, 1932 to April 20, 2013 Gordon Edward Gibson, 80, of Mt. Vernon, Wash., died suddenly and unexpectedly of heart failure on Saturday, April 20, 2013.

Beloved husband, father, and grandfather, he is survived by his wife of 53 years, Gladys Tweddell Gibson; sons, Roger and Craig; daughter-in-law, Heather; grandsons, Riley, Royce and Keegan; sister, Mary Hatten; and many nieces and nephews; including the children of his deceased sister, Sara (Sally) Seagrave – Charles Seagrave, and JeanClare (Jinkle) Seagrave.

The Gibson family moved to Orcas in 1911, farming their hundred plus acres of land on the north shore of the island.

Gordon was born to Edna and Edward Gibson in the family farmhouse in 1932. Gordon and his two sisters, Mary and Sally, grew up working the farm and supporting the family business, Gibson’s North Beach Inn, through the Great Depression and World War II. Gordon graduated from Orcas Island High School in 1950 and from the University of Washington in 1954 (bachelors of civil engineering) and again in 1969 (masters of civil engineering – hydrodynamics).

Throughout his long life Gordon kept in touch with many old friends, especially his Class of 1950 high school gang; including Jim Long, Meech Houghton, Bob “Doc” Jensen, Frank Russell, Don Gerard, and Duane Penning.

Old friends and new meant a lot to Gordon. He was known to easily pick up

school, moved to the Pacific Northwest.

He graduated from Western Washington University with a degree in anthropology and settled on Orcas Island where he met and married Margery Rae Gilbertson, from Crescent City, Calif.

Clifford Elwood Viereck passed away peacefully Wednesday April 17 surrounded by his family.

Born May 7, 1926 in Malo Wash., he was raised in the Fairhaven district of Bellingham where his life journey began.

He grew up with and married his wife Sheila Rust just recently celebrating their 66th wedding anniversary April 11.

They have two children, son Mike (Kathy) Grandview Wash., daughter Mary Smiley (Jon) Grandview, Wash. and granddaughter Amanda Viereck (Scott) Seattle, Wash.

In 1987 Cliff and Sheila moved to Buoy Bay Orcas Island after his retirement of 35 years Georgia Pacific Pulp & Paper. They enjoyed the “island” life until moving to Mabton, Wash., 2001 to be closer to their daughter and son and “farm” life.

He was very committed to community service as well

as involvement and support of Shriners, Fairhaven Blue Lodge, Past Master Free Mason #73, Lions, Buoy Bay Homeowners Association & Doe Bay Water System Creation.

His military support for the South Pacific during WWII and Korean War gave him pride and belief in America’s freedom.

Myra Jo Richardson Sept. 1, 1926—April 16, 2013 Long-time Orcas Islander Myra Jo Richardson died peacefully at her daughter’s Port Townsend home on April 16, just four months after the death of her husband, Dave.

Myra Jo was born in Denver on Sept. 1, 1926 to A. Gordon & Mildred (Gumm) Durham (Myra Jo’s mother and Judy Garland were first cousins). The family moved to Seattle when Myra Jo was a child. In junior high she was elected president of the Girls’ Club.

A teenager during WWII, she enjoyed attending the local USO dances organized for the servicemen who were in town. Myra Jo was pretty, vivacious and a great dancer; so she often left the dances with gifts of silk stockings or chocolates, luxuries of limited availability to civilians in those days of rationing.

After graduating from Roosevelt High School she attended one year at Linfield College in McMinnville, Ore., where she was a member of the pep squad. Myra Jo returned to Seattle and became an elevator operator at Rhodes Department Store. It was there she caught the eye of a certain GI who worked at a radio station located on the top floor.

A year later Myra Jo and Dave Richardson were

married on June 15, 1947.

Dave’s government job took the couple to Washington D.C. and then to Germany for several years.

They returned stateside to raise their family and in early 1960 they moved to Orcas Island when Dave began working at the KVOSTV transmitting site on Mt. Constitution.

They joined Orcas Island Community Church where Myra Jo organized and directed a ladies choir called the TrebleAires. She later became the church choir director and was affectionately dubbed the Egyptian Task-master.

Myra Jo was an accomplished seamstress and made many beautiful outfits over the years, including her daughter’s wedding gown.

When Dave retired the couple enjoyed trips to Victoria, B.C., traveling abroad and taking their

grandchildren to the local fairs. During the last few years Dave had become Myra Jo’s full-time caregiver and so when she lost her husband of 65 years last December she also had to leave her home of nearly 53 years.

Myra Jo spent her last days living with her daughter and family until she was gathered into the presence of her Lord and Savior.

She is now reunited with her husband, parents, and sisters Bettejane and Jeanie.

She is survived by her son, Blair Richardson of Everett; daughter Shiela and son-inlaw Steve McIntire of Port Townsend; grandchildren Shannon and Brennan; and some nephews, nieces and cousins.

A memorial service will be at Orcas Island Community Church on Saturday, May 11 at 1 p.m. Remembrances can be made to the church.

projects FROM 1 Jules Mann wanted to brighten the school’s environment with a school choir.

The group has performed at the school’s holiday concert in December, as well as singing for the senior center, and a final performance at the Music Advocacy Group concert in March.

She has applied for grants with Orcas Island Community Foundation and MAG to fund next year’s program.

“Starting the choir taught me more about leadership, management, and myself than I would have thought possible,” Mann said. “I’ve discovered my own passion not just for making music, but for helping it grow and helping others experience it. Music, both in and out of education, is beneficial to people everywhere and

victors FROM 1 I felt pretty good about my chances.”

With 7,096 ballots cast, the April 23 voter-turnout total is almost 59 percent, about 7 percent higher than February’s primary.

Another 60 ballots will be counted May 1, and results of the election will be certified May. 7.

Last week’s election follows on the heels of a series of wholesale changes to the county charter approved by voters in November, which reduced the size of the county council from six elected officials to three, redrew the council legislative districts from six to three as well, and instituted countywide elections for each of those three newly created council positions.

In addition, changes to the charter turned the three

council positions into fulltime jobs, eliminated the position of county administrator, and delivered into the hands of the council the responsibility for both legislative duties and day-to-day management of the county.

Council members will be paid an annual salary of $75,000, plus benefits.

A top task for the newly elected council will be selecting a county manager, whose duties will include assisting in the county’s daily management Stephens, who defeated first-time council candidate Brian McClerren by roughly 900 votes, winning 17 of the county’s 19 voting precincts, said selection of a county manager and meeting with department supervisors will be key to smoothing out the rough edges of the transition that lies ahead.

important how all that gets handled,” he said. “I think we’ll be able to do that well.”

Like Jarman, incumbent Rick Hughes, elected to the former six-person council in November’s district-only election, came in second in the District 2 three-way February primary.

He trailed first-place finisher Lisa Byers, director of Of People and Land, an Orcas-based affordable housing group, by nearly 20 percent.

Still, Hughes anticipated supporters of council candidate Greg Ayers, eliminated in the primary, were likely jump on his bandwagon, and that the margin sepa-

rating the two remaining District 2 candidates would be tight.

With a 148-advantage overall, Hughes garnered 51 percent of ballots cast.

He gained 331 more votes on San Juan Island and 205 more than first-time public office candidate Byers on Orcas Island to eclipse a 388-vote advantage that Byers received from voters in District 3 (Lopez/Shaw).

“I’m thrilled with Orcas West’s support for me and with Eastsound too,” he said. “And my hat’s off to San Juan Island, they’re a lot of the reason why I’m here.”

Guest column Success, disappointment with Lopez solid waste by lOPeZ SOliD WaSTe DiSPOSal DiSTriCT

The first quarter report by the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District highlights some clear successes, a few disappointments, and much work in progress.

Successes include: a flawless operational system that transferred 75 tons of garbage to the Skagit Transfer Station and significantlyexpanded recycling options.

Materials recycled: 7.5 tons of cardboard, 15.5 tons of mixed paper, 2.5 tons of plastic, 17.5 tons of glass, 3.5 tons of steel and one quarter ton of aluminum for a total of 46.75 tons of self-separated recyclables which receive a higher dollar value than commingled recyclables.

Other successes include the custom web-based accounting and interactive volunteer scheduling system. More than 75 volunteers are working at the recycle center and the TakeIt-Or-Leave-It. The disappointments primarily involve revenue.

“By keeping a tight rein on costs we were able to offset most of the shortfall which came as a result of

lower than predicted first quarter garbage revenue,” according to LSWDD Treasurer Bruce Creps. “We hope people will produce as little garbage as they can, and will bring ALL of it to our beloved, local dump.”

Garbage fees account for 50 percent of revenue as shown in the district’s 2013 budget (excluding capital revenue). The remaining revenue comes from recyclables (10 percent), excise tax (13 percent), and the property tax levy (27 percent).

“We may simply be achieving success earlier than we could have imagined,” says LSWDD Board member Sandy Bishop.

“Lopezians are taking the goal of reducing waste to heart and are producing less and recycling more. It’s a classic conundrum. As an island we embrace the concept of ‘zero waste,’ but the $8/can garbage disposal fees pays the bills.”

“We know there’s some Lopez garbage going offisland,” says LSWDD Board member, Dan Post. “We need people to bring their garbage home to the Lopez Dump!”

Going into the second

quarter, LSWDD will continue to closely monitor the revenue picture and refine the solid waste and recycling operation as a whole.

On May 15 the Dump will shift to a summer schedule, extending the opening hours by two hours – 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. LSWDD also plans a meeting soon with island contractors to explore how the facility can better serve their disposal needs. Other works in progress include reorganizing the Take-It-Or-Leave-It to include rummage tables under construction by the Lopez School shop students, tweaking the recycling center to accommodate summer crowds, and installing permanent signage around the site.

“We’re still in our infancy stage of this great experiment,” says LSWDD Chair Page Read. “Obviously we’re not satisfied with our revenue picture. The good news is that we’re operating smoothly and efficiently, taking care of the people’s business in the responsible way they expected. I love working at the site and hearing the enthusiasm and pride that people express about the Dump. We will meet the challenges as they come our way.”

More details about LSWDD operations during January-March 2013 can be found online in the LSWDD quarterly report, at www. lopezsolidwaste.org.

library updating its magazines

by Karen Hiller Orcas Library

It’s time again for the Orcas Library to plan for next year’s magazine and newspaper collection.

When you visit the library, you will notice that the magazine section, or the Sun Room as we often call it, is a very busy area of the library! We strive to have the best collection for local interests that space and funding will allow. My job is not only to maintain that collection, but also to update it each year according to public demand. Every spring, I start looking at how well our periodicals are being used, and then plan on which will be included in our collection the following year. At this time we also

consider magazines that we currently do not have in our collection, especially if we feel that they might attract broad interest among our library users. At staff meetings during the summer, we discuss what the next year’s periodical collection will be.

You can be a part of this process by submitting suggestions of any magazine that you feel would be of general interest for our community. I take suggestions all year; but to be considered for the next year’s collection, I need them by the beginning of June so that I can share them with the staff before we make our decision. You can submit a suggestion directly to me in any of the following ways:

by email to khiller@orcaslibrary.org; through the mail to Orcas Island Library, 500 Rose Street, Eastsound, WA 98245, Attn: Karen Hiller; or you can share your suggestions with any staff member on your next visit to the library.

Another way you can be a part of this process is to donate the cost of a subscription, either for a magazine we currently have in our collection or for a new title, if we are able to add it. It is our goal to make this YOUR library and to provide, as much as we can, the resources that will fulfill that goal!

Karen Hiller is the periodicals coordinator for the Orcas Island Public Library.

Petition to list Lolita as endangered moves forward

by STEVE WEHRLY Journal reporter

The “Free Lolita” movement is making progress.

Eighteen years after Howard Garrett, Ken Balcomb, and then-Governor Mike Lowry initiated the movement to return L-pod member Lolita from the Miami Seaquarium to her native northwest waters, the National Marine Fisheries Service accepted a petition to consider whether Lolita should be included as part of the Endangered Species Act listing of Southern Resident killer whales, now numbered at 84 - plus Lolita.

Declared endangered by the U.S. in 2005, the southern residents consist of three closely related clans, J, K, and L pods, which make the waterways of the San Juan Islands a seasonal home.

The population, believed to have been historically in the high 100s, plummeted to 71 by 1973 following the captures for marine parks, which ended in the 1970s. It rebounded to 80 in 2002, and have hovered in the mid-80s since that time.

The southern residents are also considered endangered in Canada.

Scientists believe a prolonged decline of the killer whales’ preferred prey, Chinook salmon, disturbance from vessels, and pollution are the leading threats to the population’s survival.

Lolita is the only survivor of 45 southern resident orcas held in captivity. She was captured in 1970 at about age three, along with six other southern resident whales and has lived her entire life in a pool at Seaquarium in Miami, Florida. Lolita has not had the companionship of another killer whale for more than 30 years, since her pool mate, Hugo, died in 1980 after repeatedly slamming his head against the side of the pool he shared with Lolita for two years.

Jared Goodman, an attorney with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which spearheaded the ESA petition, said that Lolita’s continued captivity is illegal, as well as inhumane.

“The government now has to conduct a full review of its unlawful and unexplained decision to deny Lolita protection from being harmed and harassed

Psychotherapy

at Miami Seaquarium,” said Goodman, who noted that the review must consider why the 1995 endangered species listing of southern resident killer whales carved out a sole exception for Lolita, excluding her from the protections of the listing with “no rationale whatsoever.”

Goodman believes that a favorable decision by NMFS would provide solid legal grounds for a court to require Seaquarium to make other living arrangements for Lolita. Goodman also said the petition is “only coincidentally related” to the petition by the Pacific Legal Foundation seeking a complete delisting of southern resident whales from the Endangered Species Act. He believes the Legal Foundation’s petition will be rejected.

PETA has also filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture seeking to revoke the permit under which the Seaquarium is holding Lolita. The basis for that lawsuit, Goodman said, is that the size of Lolita’s pool and other specifications fall well short of federal regulations for killer whale captivity.

Howard Garrett, chairman of Orca Network, says the upcoming review

by NMFS may be the best chance that Lolita has to return to her home waters.

In San Juan County, two species of forage fish – the surf smelt and Pacific sand lance – use the upper regions of sand and gravel beaches to incubate their eggs. A decade ago, Friends of the San Juans partnered with the San Juan County Marine Resources Committee, Friday Harbor Labs and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to survey and map spawning sites. To date, forage fish spawning has been documented on ten miles of shoreline in San Juan County. With support from the Washington State

prepared an extensive plan for rehabilitating Lolita in Kanaka Bay, on the west side of San Juan Island, and possibly returning her to her pod – though he adds that other supporters are prepared to care for Lolita “indefinitely” if necessary.

A division of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, NMFS must complete its review

by January of 2014, after publishing a proposed rule, expected next week, for conducting its review and accepting comments and other information from interested parties on both sides of the issue.

That still won’t end the controversy. The Fisheries Service explained on its website: “By January 25, 2014, we’ll make a determination on whether the petitioned action is warranted. If we propose to include Lolita in the southern resident killer whale distinct population segment, that action would be subject to public comment.”

Salmon Recovery Funding Board, additional field surveys are planned for 2013 and 2014, focusing on priority regions and sites that have not yet been surveyed.

“The protection and restoration of known forage fish spawning beaches is a top salmon recovery priority in the San Juans,” said said Barbara Rosenkotter, San Juan County’s salmon recovery coordinator.

“Resources are available to assist both public and private landowners in improving stewardship of these essential beach habitatsbut we also need to expand our understanding of where these fish spawn.”

Volunteers are needed to assist with the boat-based field surveys beginning this summer. A volunteer training with regional and local forage fish experts Dan Penttila, Tina Whitman and Lety Hopper will be held in Friday Harbor on Saturday, May 11 from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., accommodating the interisland ferry schedule.

‘Oliver!’ at Orcas Center A new twist on the classic tale

By COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG

I

Editor/Publisher

t’s a classic Dickensian story of poverty and comedy.

“It was time to get the next generation of child actors on stage and ‘Oliver!’ is one of the most beloved musicals featuring children actors and singers,” said Director Deborah Sparks.

“The adult parts are great character parts, and currently on Orcas, we have a super population of adult character actors who can sing.”

“Oliver!” music, lyrics and book by Lionel Bart, will run May 9 to 11 and 16 to 18 at 7:30 p.m on the main stage. Tickets are $18, $11 for students and $2 off for Orcas Center members; visit www.orcascenter.org or call 376-2281.

“Oliver!” is a British musical based on the novel “Oliver Twist” by Charles Dickens. It had a long, successful Broadway run. It was made into a film in 1968 and since then there have been numerous revivals.

“I chose to make ‘Oliver!’

A small spectacle with over the top costumes and leaning slightly toward vaudeville staging,” Sparks said. “Silent movies have been an influence also. The important part in my vision is that the cast and audience have fun ... The orchestra is definitely the lead in a our musical. Lionel Bart wrote music that will be alive in our hearts for many generations to come.”

Oliver Twist is a young orphan who gets caught in the dark underworld of 1800s England.

Throughout the play, he finds that he’s not just a street urchin but a boy with a very valuable family secret. The production walks the line between dark themes of poverty and domestic violence and light-hearted, humorous chorus numbers.

Scoggin, meets a series of characters, including the streetwise Artful Dodger played

by Matthew Laslo-White, the eccentric Fagin portrayed by Robert Hall, Mr. Bumble played

by Joe Babcock, the terrifying Bill Sykes brought to life by Conrad Wrobel and the tough but kind Nancy played by Cali Bagby. The rest of the cast features kids and adults who are willing to have a good time on stage.

“It’s an amazing cast,” said Laslo-White, whose mom Donna is also in the play. “Working with Mason and Cali is a lot of fun. Everyone is great.”

Sparks says finding the right Oliver was the main challenge.

When Scoggin auditioned she saw the “quality of innocence a sweet singing voice and a potentially little rascal.”

Sparks said Laslo-White, who is a professional magician, uses his stage charm and confidence to pull off the wily Dodger.

“I was happy to cast Robert Hall as Fagin ... he has a beauti-

ful singing voice, is a very talented character actor and brings a playfulness to his role which helps the darker scenes lighten up,” she said.

Sparks noted Bagby and Wrobel have chemistry between them that makes the love/hate dynamic work well.

“I am playing a villain who is so low he threatens to kill women and children,” Wrobel said. “I have to be both violent and somewhat comical – it’s a kids’ play after all. This character is kind of a burden. The fear I am creating is real and affects your place in the community.

But at the same time, it’s a terrible lot of fun. I get to be loud and despicable and I don’t have to shave!”

Hall is playing a less wicked character and has been having a

blast, particularly with the kids, an experience he says is “like herding cats.”

“Everyone knows who Fagin is, so it’s a matter of flushing it out and having fun with it,” Hall said. “He is a robber who trains kids to steal for him. He’s found a surreptitious way to survive.”

Hall commends Sparks for her vision with the production and thinks the community is going to enjoy what they see on the stage.

“Sparks has added some really interesting touches to it. It’s hard to beat her brand of creativity,” he said.

For Bagby, “Oliver!” is her first theatre performance on Orcas Island.

“I love that Sparks has given my character room to show her own strength and dignity,” she

said. “Nancy gives an unflinching look at the cage domestic violence creates and how timeless these issues are. What is so great about the musical is that it is fun, but it also gives us characters that are relatable – even today.”

Tickets for “Oliver!”

The play runs May 9 to 11 and 16 to 18 at 7:30 p.m on the main stage. Tickets are $18, $11 for students and $2 off for Orcas Center members; visit www.orcascenter. org or call 376-2281.

Tisdale is a regular contributor to Harper’s Magazine. She is the author of seven books including “Women of the Way: Discovering 2,500 Years of Buddhist Wisdom.” She is also a senior lay teacher at Dharma Rain Zen Center in Portland, Ore., and a palliative care and hospice nurse.

Some complimentary tickets are available in advance at the Orcas Senior Center.

10-minute Playfest review

by TOM WELCH

Special to the Sounder

Ten minutes can go by in a flash, unremarkable and mostly unremembered much of the time. But each of the 10-minute plays presented at the Eighth Annual PlayFest by the Actors Theater of Orcas Island this weekend will stay with you for a much, much longer time. Fifty local actors, playwrights, and directors have created seven short plays that touch on human foibles, conditions, and expectations in ways that you simply can’t deal with in a mere 10 minutes. If more is less, then these plays embody the opposite beautifully.

James Wolf ’s “The Palm Reader” opens PlayFest with a barefoot Cara Russell as a gentle palm reader easily interacting with Thian Armenia, a young neighbor boy, over that simplest of boy toys, a pretend gun.

Patty Monaco’s artful direction lets them explore possibilities that open different doors from a simple reality, and show us that there are many choices.

Playwright Jackie Bates has been to more than one garage sale, and “Yard Sale” has a lot more to offer than one couple’s extra “stuff.”

Audrey Nedderman is the angry wife disposing of the

remnants of a marriage, with Nate Feder as the husband whose tools can’t fix what is broken. Gillian Smith is effective as the agent of the breakup that Tom Fiscus, with a simple question, shows may just be repairable after all. The tools in this play are wielded in a splendid fashion by all, particularly director FX Michaels.

Bill Westlake’s “Adverse Possession” shows us that an imprisoned embezzler, masterfully played by Maura O’Neill, can easily outthink her too-clever offspring (Chelsea Dean) and dim bulb boyfriend (Brian Richard). Lin McNulty directs as we learn yet again that age and experience trump their opposites.

“A Play At The Plate” by Indy Zoeller features Fred Vinson and Peter Vinson as baseball announcers calling the same game in completely different styles.

Lynda Sanders directed this fast-paced, amusing exposition of youth and technology meeting age and experience in a warmly satisfying encounter.

FX Michael’s “Devil May Care” is a dark experience centered on a young woman, played by Kira Bradshaw, with an alcohol addiction leading to thoughts of

suicide. Cele Westlake, as Bethany, takes her home and tries to help her by suggesting she look to a higher power. Tracey Oniya is the “higher power,” but not the one we naturally think of in that regard. Bev Johnson is effective as the suicidal girl’s friend, and all give excellent performances under Audra Goffeney’s talented direction.

Lin McNulty’s “Results Are In” is a play about a bratty teenager, wellplayed by Olivia Smith, nicely manipulating helpless parents, played by Michele Griskey and Nick Hershenow. The big event at the end is surprising, leaving one to wonder just who really is in control. It is well directed by Cara Russell.

“Sign Off,” written by Russell, ends the evening with impressive performances by Tom Fiscus and Aerial Brown as a father and daughter dealing with her departure from home to seek her own life. Andy Martin’s cab driver helps bring the poignant play, beautifully directed by Gillian Smith, to a warmly emotional conclusion.

PlayFest is at the Grange May 3, 4, and 5 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $5 at Darvill’s, brownpapertickets.com, or at the door.

The Orcas Island Artworks features figurative sculptures by Peter Pere, shown at right, through the month of May. The exhibit includes wall hung plaster relief sculptures and free standing ceramic renditions of portraits, busts and torsos.

Pere demonstrates two stylistic approaches: one classical and formal, the other more interpretative, reflecting on the sorrows and joys of life and hints of his subjects’ inner struggles.

Pere has had a long career as a university administrator and as a small business owner. He and his wife Molly, who is also an artist, have been part-time residents of Orcas for more than 20 years. Throughout his work career he pursued his passion

for sculpture part time, studying at the University of Wisconsin, Pratt Institute and Gage Academy.

The Artworks is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

K-12 student art opening

The art of Orcas Island’s young people will once again be filling the Orcas Center galleries with creativity and exuberance throughout the month of May.

The annual Student Art Exhibit will feature the work of kindergarten through 12th grade students from Orcas Public Schools, along with students from the OASIS program, Salmonberry School and the Orcas Christian School.

The exhibit is coordinated by Orcas Open Arts and Corey Wiscomb, Orcas High School’s art teacher.

All are invited to the show’s opening reception on Friday, May 3 from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m.

There will be performances by Orcas music teacher Pamela Wright’s beginning, middle school and high school string ensembles, as well as Grace McCune’s Musical Theater

Youth Troupe performing selections from “Les Miserables.”

Fishing derby in Moran a success Community grants awarded Amy Cole/Contributed photo

The 17th Annual Bill Yarlott Fishing Derby took place on Saturday, April 27. Cascade Lake was splattered with small boats and eager kids holding their fishing poles into the cold water. By 11 a.m. there were more than 30 kids who had checked in with Philip Miller to have their fish measured. Even Bill Yarlott’s grandson Brooks was in on the action this year.

The largest fish, hooked by Adrienne Coy was 18.75 inches. The average fish was 12 inches long. Prizes were donated

by Orcas Outfitters, Kings Marine and Friends of Moran.

At this fishing derby everyone gets a prize – whether it’s a fish or not.

The fishing derby is named after Yarlott because he was instrumental in stocking Cascade Lake when fish numbers began to decline. He was also influential in getting the first

hatchery up and running. Miller had worked alongside Yarlott for many years to support getting kids out to fish.

Miller continues the tradition for kids, Yarlott and Friends of Moran.

The Moran Creek Kokanee Hatchery is now located across the road from Cascade Lake. Visitors can see the small fry at the hatchery through the viewing window. The Friends of Moran consider the hatchery one of their important and ongoing projects to support the park and enhance the visitor experience.

Friends of Moran will have more information about the hatchery at the Summit Learning Center this summer.

They are also making plans to hold tours for those who want to know more about the Kokanee and the hatchery process.

Summer theatre camp for island kids Start making plans for your little performers.

All the costumes and props are ready for youthful actors to bring to life.

They have 15 openings for children ages eight to 13.

As our community needs continue to grow, so does the Community Foundation’s Annual Grants Program. This year, 34 organizations submitted grant proposals. Of those, 32 proposals were vetted and approved for funding. The requests total over $250,000 to support education, social services, arts and the environment for the community.

The OICF Grants Committee, comprised of four board members and eight community members, reviewed the proposals and prioritized the opportunities based on OICF's 2011 Community Needs Assessment. Proposals that aligned strongly with the highest identified needs were given highest priority; second tier proposals address identified needs but may not serve as large a population or as critical a need; and the third tier contains proposals addressing emerging needs and opportunities that are valuable and would be fundable if they had sufficient resources to do it all.

While OICF will allocate a portion of the earnings from its community endowment to these proposals, the total requested far exceeds the funds available.

“This is where you can shine as a Partner in Philanthropy,” said Executive Director Hilary Canty. “In 2012, over $100,000 was distributed thanks to the generosity of friends and neighbors like you.”

To contribute this year, review the list by going to www. oicf.us and clicking on grants catalog. You can donate directly online using paypal or a credit card. Or call 3766423 to receive a hardcopy of the list. To donate by check, mail your contribution (made out to OICF) to PO Box 1496, Eastsound, WA 98245, or drop by the OICF office at 141 Prune Alley, Suite 201.

The grant checks will be distributed at the Grant Awards Celebration on Friday, May 31 at 2 p.m. in the Madrona Room at Orcas Center.

A highlight of the celebration will be the presentation of the youth grants. The Orcas High senior civics and economics classes identify issues and programs of significance to their lives on Orcas and make grants to organizations that support them. Their selection is kept under wraps until the awards.
