Solid waste contracts move forward despite a few snags

by STEVE WEHRLY Journal reporter

Eighteen months after voters rejected the county council’s plan for financing solid waste disposal operations with a property tax parcel fee, glitches in negotiations and financing are causing frustration and impatience on all sides. Schedules slip and costs mount in the county’s ongoing effort to privatize solid waste and recycling operations on Orcas and San Juan.

But county officials and future site operators insist progress is being made, and that privatized operation of the Orcas transfer station and the San Juan dropbox facility will occur “this summer” despite delays.

Orcas Recycling Services has not made required state and federal tax payments for past operations and has not completed an operations plan, as required by

the county. This must happen before a contract can be executed authorizing ORS to assume operating responsibility for the Orcas transfer station. The tax liability question arose when ORS hired part-time employees in recent years to help community volunteers with increased garbage and recycling flows.

“The worst case scenario for all ORS tax liabilities from past operations is about $22,000,” said ORS Board Chairman Pete Moe. That number includes penalties and interest, which, according to Moe, ORS accountants hope to further reduce. Mulcahy and new Solid Waste Program Administrator Sam Gibboney are also running into headwinds in three-way contract negotiations with the Lautenbach-KenTec partnership and the Town of

Youth help others in LA Orcas Island youth went on a mission trip to Los Angeles with Pastor Scott Harris from the Orcas Island Community Church.

The group worked on four projects during the week-long trip in April.

The kids served lunches at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, feeding around 100 people Tuesday through Friday. They also planted a garden.

At a local middle school, there was a huge area that used to be a garden where kids were taught horticulture in the 70’s. Budget cuts turned it into a weed patch.

The school had a vision to restore the garden and allow groups to grow food for their community. One of the local sixth grade classes had adopted a plot already.

showed school staff how to compost and mulch, purchased fertilizer from a horse farm near the middle school, and worked with Orcas youth and middle schoolers to give the garden a kick-start.

At Adventures Ahead, an L.A. based nonprofit, the students helped with the one-on-one tutoring in the afternoons. In the morning building projects were led

by Mark O’Neill for a physics fair in June.

Winners of ‘amazing moms’ contest

by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter

The Sounder’s Mother’s Day contest not only gave Matthew Laslo-White and Donna Laslo a chance to appreciate each other, but also to see other mothers who love their children on the island.

“I really loved looking at the other pics in the competition,” said Donna. “They were all wonderful … ours was silly.”

Last month, the Sounder partnered with Rosario Resort for a “Most Amazing Mothers” photo contest. Islanders entered their favorite snapshots to win a Mother’s Day brunch for four at Rosario.

Donna and Matthew came in first with 192 votes, followed closely by Teresa and Tyra Greenway with 184 votes.

“You have been great competition,” posted Teresa to Matthew on the photo contest page. “It wouldn’t have been as fun!”

The winning picture went slightly against the grain, featuring Matthew and Donna using Photobooth, a computer program that comically distorts faces.

Donna said at first she resisted submitting such an unflattering photo, but she and her son laughed so hard looking at it that she couldn’t let her vanity get in the way. It’s a photo that reflects how much fun the two have together.

On the set of the upcoming musical “Oliver!” Matthew and Donna can be heard laughing through the halls of Orcas Center. It is their fourth play they have performed

in together.

“It’s a great opportunity for parents and kids to share a community experience,” said Donna. “You get so close as a cast and get to share that.”

Matthew describes his mom as fun, supportive and an amazing mother all around.

For Donna, the upcoming holiday helps her appreciate her own mother, who passed away four years ago.

“Only if you are a mother do you know that feeling of how much you love your kids … it’s a special feeling you have for your kids,” she said. “I appreciate my mother and what all mothers do.”

Above: Donna and Matthew’s photo received 197 votes in the contest. Right: The mother and son as they “normally” look.

Silver, gold for San Juan County schools Lopez Middle/High School and Orcas Island High School have been awarded a silver medal for “Best High Schools” in the 2013 U.S. News and World Report ranking of the nation’s best public high schools. Friday Harbor High was given a gold medal.

Lopez School ranked #21 in Washington state and number 964 nationally. The school rose in the rank-

ings from their 2012 rank of Bronze.

Orcas Island High School ranked 25th within Washington, 1013 nationally and received a silver medal.

Friday Harbor High School ranked fifth within Washington, number 161 nationally and received a gold medal.

The U.S. News and World Report public high school ranking project began in 2007 and seeks to identify

the nation’s top performing public high schools. The magazine’s goal is to provide a clear, unbiased picture of how well public schools serve their students, as they prepare them for proficiency in basic skills and college readiness. More than 21,000 public high schools across the country and 600 high schools in Washington state were evaluated for these rankings.

Orcas offender appeals prison term

by SCOTT RASMUSSEN Journal editor

An Orcas Island woman with extensive criminal history is contesting a five-year prison sentence handed down in the wake of recent convictions for felony burglary and misdemeanor theft.

On April 24, Terry Ann Meloni, 50, posted a $10,000 bond in San Juan County Superior Court as collateral for fulfilling terms of the sentence, which was slated to begin April 30, while the court-ordered penalties are under appeal.

Meloni was convicted by a jury on March 27 of seconddegree burglary, a Class B felony, and of third-degree possession of stolen property, a gross misdemeanor, and ordered to serve 60 months in prison and to pay $1,347 in fines and fees in a sentence handed down

by Judge Don Eaton three weeks later.

The standard range of sentencing set by the state for the felony crime, given the extent of her criminal history, is 51-68 months in prison. She was credited with having served two days of the 60-month prison term.

Restitution has yet to be determined for the breakin and theft of three jackets that she was convicted of stealing from an Orcas Island couple.

According to court doc-

uments, Meloni has been convicted of more than two dozen criminal offenses in the last 20 years, including 10 separate felony drug or property crimes since 1999.

She previously had been granted a sentence under the state "drug offender sentencing alternative" for a prior conviction, and she is legally eligible to be granted a second such alternative.

Those convicted of a felony drug offense are typically permitted to serve a por-

At the time of sentencing, Eaton, who, according to court documents, was troubled by the extent of Meloni's criminal history, denied her request for an alternative sentence. Her appeal will be reviewed by the state Court of Appeals.

Editorial

All-male council to take the reins

S

an Juan County’s new legislative body is made up entirely of men.

While it’s unwise to debate the merits of council members based on gender alone, we think it’s worth noting the new line-up.

Whether true or not, we are prone to think that women and men see through a different lens. According to science writer Robin Nixon, researchers have found that males are better at spatial skills, whereas women have more verbal fluency and greater memory for objects. But in another study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, the “Big Five” personality traits – openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism – do not categorically vary between men and women.

And for the record, we’d be having this same conversation if it was a new council of three women.

Here’s some interesting council history. We had an all-male council from 2006-08: Alan Lichter, Bob Myhr and Kevin Ranker followed by Ranker, Myhr, Richard Fralick, Gene Knapp, Rich Peterson and Howie Rosenfeld. Lovel Pratt joined the six-person council following the 2008 election.

We think it’s critical to have a balanced council. This is one reason why we did not endorse the charter amendments last fall. With three members, it’s difficult to achieve a varied group of elected officials. And that goes way beyond gender: it’s work experience, age, personal interests, volunteer history, lifestyle, etc.

Not to say that our current council isn’t diverse. Jamie Stephens has experience as an entrepreneur and has been on the council for two years. Bob Jarman worked at CenturyTel for decades and is the senior member of the group. Rick Hughes owns a local business and has a young son, keeping him involved with different activities.

We hope these varied perspectives make for a balanced council regardless of gender. The dynamics of our three new council members will be interesting to watch.

Please stop cutting down park’s trees How can we halt the cutting of our state park trees? We were told drastic measures had to be taken against root rot or it will destroy our forest.

Well, part of the forest is now destroyed. The stumps are left as evidence of what we’ve lost. New trees are already planted. This is apparently the “cure for the disease” and there are still more trees in the park to be “cured.” But we were also told the root rot travels underground, so all stumps and roots of all rotted trees, and all healthy trees in a 50-foot radius must be uprooted and burned. Oops! Why was this step missed if root rot is so dangerous. Already the new forest of root rot resistant trees is planted. I say: no more logging of state park trees. Stewardship of our state parks means protecting what is a living and dying ecosystem as it goes through its life cycle over generations.

Center in so any ways, and last month, you did it again with our Granny’s Attic Sale.

A huge number of you donated your items and then more of you came and purchased them. This sale, as with other fundraisers, would not happen without the support of wonderful volunteers. My volunteers are absolutely the best you can have and they worked tirelessly for six weeks, cleaning, pricing and boxing all of the items. No one could ask for better helpers.

A huge Thank You also goes out to Vance at Shinola for his help with pricing, the Christian School students who helped move those boxes and to the Lighthouse Christian Ministries who helped with the clean up.

We are so fortunate to live in such a special place where we try to take care of each other. Everyone who was a part of this, took the time to take care of our elders. The money that was raised will help keep the senior center open and give our seniors a wonderful, safe place to enjoy.

SOLID WASTE FROM 1 Friday Harbor for operation of the town-owned Sutton Road solid waste facility.

“We have some things we want in that contract,” said Town Administrator Duncan Wilson, “but the county is doing the negotiations and we think the results will work for us, the county and Lautenbach.”

Privatizing solid waste operations was mandated by the council after voters in 2011 rejected the council’s property tax parcel fee to fund solid waste handling. In mid-2012, the Department of Public Work solicited proposals from private companies interested in operating the Orcas and San Juan Island transfer stations. Meanwhile, community activists on Lopez Island devised and won council and voter approval for a Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District to operate the Lopez dump.

In late 2012, the council instructed Public Works to negotiate contracts for the Orcas and San Juan Island facilities with Orcas Recycling Services and a partnership of Lautenbach Industries of Mount Vernon and Kentec Energy of Seattle, respectively.

Public Works Director Frank Mulcahy at that time projected that private operations would commence by April 1, but operational and contractual problems have pushed start dates into June or July.

for the Orcas Island group are fallout from the fire that destroyed the Exchange, criminal charges now being faced by a director of ORS, and a delay in completing an operations plan by URS Corp., the consultant hired by ORS to prepare that plan.

Councilwoman Patty Miller said the Orcas contract is in danger of being canceled, but, “It’s time that ORS provides the council with its plan of operations and an accounting of its tax liabilities.”

County Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord said the tax liability ORS faces is an estimate and that the council wants a complete and thorough accounting before they decide to go forward with a contract.

“The council must be satisfied that the contract and the plan of operations is financially sound and in the best interests of the citizens of San Juan County,” said Gaylord.

He added that because the allegations against ORS board member Errol Speed involve making false statements to county offices regarding permitting, the council should take the charges into consideration in their deliberations over ORS’ operation of the Orcas facility.

Moe said he recognizes the need to deliver the plan and says that full accounting and explanation of the tax situation will be provided to the council. He said that consultants retained by ORS have finished a “draft” oper-

ations plan and are working on emergency and contingency plans, all of which will be delivered “in the next few weeks.”

Moe supports Speed as a “valuable” member of the board, which, he noted, is not asking Speed to resign.

“We’re aware of the situation and we will wait to see what the council says,” he said. “I’m extremely confident the project will proceed as planned.”

Meanwhile, the county is paying Waste Management and Cimarron Trucking almost two-and-one-half times the amount paid under its previous contract with Waste Management, which expired at the end of 2012. But because of 2012 increases in the solid waste tax and in recycling fees, Mulcahy said, “we’re just about breaking even.”

The problem with contract negotiations for the Sutton Road facility is wrangling between Lautenbach and county Public Works about construction of a roof on the tipping floor and compliance with state environmental requirements for the site.

Rick Hughes, Orcas Island’s representative on the council, is working to resolve the operational and financial problems.

“I’ve been working with Pete Moe and the ORS board since before I was elected last November and I think they’re doing things right,” he said. “Orcas will be best served if local people do the local work. We’ll figure out a way to make it work.”

Vikings had a busy week

by MARTY ZIER Sports contributor

Baseball team The Viking baseball team (3-6) had a rough afternoon against the Friday Harbor Wolverines (18-4), enduring a 20-0 loss on April 29.

“We were horrible; defensive errors, mental errors.

We did not show up to play, said coach Jim Passer.

The Vikings travel this week to Stanwood for the Bi-District playoffs against Seattle Lutheran.

Softball team The Viking softball team (11-4) secured a tie for the League Championship last week after winning crucial games against LaConner and Friday Harbor.

On May 1, Orcas beat the LaConner Braves 9-4 with district seeding and league standings on the line.

“This was the third time we had played LaConner

The Vikings were down 4-0 in the second inning but by the fifth inning had taken the lead.

“We were pleased to see the girls not panic after falling behind and chip their way back to win,” Nichols said. “Bella Nigretto had a

good game, hitting 4/4 with four doubles.”

May 3 was a magnificent day for the Vikings with Orcas, winning their first game in fast pitch history against the Wolverines in Friday Harbor, according to Nichols. The 3-2 victory secured the League Championship for the Vikings in a three-way tie with LaConner and Friday Harbor.

The game was everything a title bout is supposed to be with the lead changing back and forth until a tie in the top of the seventh inning when Emma Minnis got on first base. Nigretto sacrificed pinch runner Bethany Meenach to second and a double by Lana Bronn brought in the winning run.

Friday Harbor had one more chance to win in the bottom

of the seventh with two outs and runners on second and third base. Kirsten Fowler nabbed the grounder tagging out the runner securing the win.

“Pitcher Aliviah Garcia was a star – she mixed up her pitches and kept the hitters completely off balance all day,” Nichols said.

On May 4, the Vikings hosted the Adna Pirates in a non-league annual contest that is as much a family reunion as a softball game with a party the night before and a barbecue after the game. Although losing 6-2, Nichols said, “This was a moral victory for us, as Adna is always in the running for the state championship and we’ve never taken them seven innings.” The Vikings start the playoffs in Lynden May 10.

‘Hit-a-Thon’ The softball and baseball teams will be holding a

Hit-a-thon in Buck Park on Tuesday, May 14 at 5 p.m.

Burgers, chips and soda are $5 per plate. The teams are looking for sponsors this week: people can sponsor a flat fee or a per foot donation based on how far they hit the ball. Sponsor sheets will be at the high school or at the park on May 14.

Golf team The Viking golf team played Cedar Park Mount Lake Terrace on April 29.

“Roo Smith did great, had his best score for the year and Peter Miller had his best score on our course,” said Coach Justin Taylor.

Orcas scores were led by Smith with 39, Graye Parnell 50, Miller 61, Mara Nutt 62 and Zack Kostechko 74.

William Coe, Parnell, Smith and Nutt all qualified to represent Orcas Island High Schools at the League Playoffs at the Gallery Golf Course in Oak Harbor.

After 18 holes, Smith and Nutt both qualified to compete in the High School District Golf Championships on May 9.

“Our athletes all did a great job representing Orcas Island and I am especially proud of their good sportsmanship and persistence this season,” Taylor said.

Orcas Islanders board the ferry for the annual OPALCO meeting on May 4.

by Scott RaSmuSSen Journal editor

Door prizes. Election results. Free lunch. A chance to mingle with friends from afar. A state of the union address; an annual shareholders report.

As many as 300 people climbed onboard the Washington State Ferries’ Elwha for the 76th annual meeting of Orcas Power & Light Cooperative, Saturday, May 4, and they did so for a variety of reasons.

But the chance to weigh in on the risks and rewards of power cooperative’s broadband initiative, with co-op executives on hand, was clearly on the mind of many.

“Stay in the business your in,” Lopez Island’s Bosco Bailey cautioned. “Live within your means.”

Naomi Aldort was more emphatic. “Some of us don’t want it, keep it the way it is,” she said.

While the portion of the annual meeting set aside for the Q & A of the broadband initiative was only part of the program, it stands as one of the biggest investments the power cooperative has contemplated since its formation. Under the initiative, as it stands today, OPALCO would borrow roughly $34 million to build and expand its network of fiber-optic lines and transmission capability, and provide of high-speed Internet access and telephone service to its members, at a cost of $90 a month to those who sign up for the new service, and $15 a month for those who don’t. Interest on the federal loan, offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development Service, is expected to cost $10 million over the life of the 25-year loan.

Though some remain

skeptical, others maintain that better broadband delivered at higher and more reliable speeds will help to boast and diversify economic opportunities.

County Councilman Rick Hughes of Orcas Island believes the islands’ economy could improve with better broadband and that there are benefits to having delivery of fiber-optic capability under local control.

“If we want to do it right, I think we should own it,” he said.

Meanwhile, voter turnout hit an all-time high as three candidates, including two incumbents, were elected to three-year terms on the co-op’s board of directors.

With roughly 2,600 ballots cast, 720 cast online, (out of a possible 10,918), Bob Myhr and Jim Lett were elected to the two District 3 board positions, representing Lopez and surrounding islands. Shaw Island’s John Bogert, in an uncontested race, earned another term as the board’s District 4 representative.

In addition, OPALCO presented this year’s winners of the annual Nourdine Jensen Youth Scholarship

Program. Brodie Miller, Bree Swanson and Maya Burt-Kidwell each received a $500 scholarship and will attend a youth rally leadership camp in Idaho later this year.

And there were, of course, the dozens of door prizes.

And some win big. Robert Walker and his wife have attended each meeting since moving from Texas to Orcas Island three years ago.

“Last year we won the $750 power bill credit,” Walker said.

vived by her brother Jerry of Corvallis, Ore., and her sister Lora Lee of Tucson, Ariz. Her three boys live

in Idaho. She leaves behind four beautiful grandchildren as well; James, Greg, Kayla and Celina.

Carol was born in Richmond, Calif. in 1930.

Her parents moved to Edmonton, Alberta when she was in her late teens.

There she went to a vocational school studying music and shorthand. It was there that she met her first husband, Stan Chapman. They were married for 25 years and had three sons together.

They moved to California and then relocated to Orcas briefly in 1962 and then permanantly in 1972.

A temporary job at OPALCO led to a 21 year career as the executive sec-

Hazelton, N.D., the fourth child of six boys and six girls.

She had an active imagination, necessary for a child born into the harsh farm life of the dust bowl, depression era. Annetha wrote and told stories about that life so her children knew what it was like and then she left that area as a young

woman. She was very proud of teaching school before she left North Dakota.

Reading was her great joy and she passed that along to her children, grandchild, and great grandchildren.

Annetha came to Seattle in the late ‘40's and met her husband of 52 years, Reinhold Schmitt. They were married at Trinity Lutheran Church in downtown Seattle and lived on Capitol Hill in the top of a Victorian house. Later

they moved to Richmond Beach in the Shoreline area.

They had a lively life in ‘50's Seattle when the town was smaller and you knew everyone. Annetha was always very proud of being a woman in the workforce and making her own way.

She worked for Shoreline School District, Pedline Supply and the Hearthstone Retirement Center on Green Lake. Reinhold preceded her in death 10 years ago.

Annetha loved the Pacific

retary to four general managers. She loved the job and all of those she worked with there.

Carol met her second husband, Bill, while working at OPALCO. He would come in to use the copy machine.

He built her a beautiful home on Buck Mountain with some of the best views on the island. They were married for 23 years before Bill succumbed to complications from a brain tumor in 2000.

Carol loved animals and always had dogs and cats.

She fed the blue jays peanuts

every morning on the porch of her home. The birdfeeders were always full.

Carol will always be remembered for her loving heart and generosity. She will be especially missed at the holidays as Christmas was her favorite.

The family would like to thank the Orcas Island community for their love and friendship to Carol for so many years. In lieu of flowers, Carol asked that a small donation be made to the Orcas Island Community Church Building Fund.

Northwest. All the trees and the sea! It was a far cry from the prairie where she grew up. She went camping, fishing, and exploring with Rein and the kids and eventually they bought a little cabin at Dolphin Bay on Orcas Island. Annetha sold her house in Shoreline two years ago and came back to Orcas full time. She enjoyed the Senior Centers at both Shoreline and Orcas, was a member of Bethel Lutheran Church and had many

friends in both places.

Annetha is survived by her three children, Richard Schmitt, Paul Schmitt, and Debra Madan, one grandchild Annetha Madan Caswell (and husband Jim), and their two daughters Austin and Aran.

A graveside service will be held May 18 at 11 a.m. at Evergreen/Washelli Cemetery in Seattle.

School looks at solar energy

sunny spring day looking at rooftops – a surface he thinks would be perfect for solar panels.

“Let’s take advantage of this,” he says.

And that is what the school aims to do with its new Solar Project intended to save energy and inspire students. The plan is to install solar panels on school rooftops to generate electricity. Dash is the project coordinator as well as an OASIS teacher, who specializes in science, English and photography. He also previously worked for a solar installer for three years and has a personal attachment to the subject.

“I have been doing solar research and have been interested for decades,” he said.

But the solar project is still just an idea.

The newly passed OISD bond is funding upgrades to the school buildings, but does not go toward solar projects. School officials expect that it will take two years to complete upgrades specified by the bond, which should give time for the school to work towards making a “greener” environment.

“It [solar energy] is taking shape in other communities in a big way,” Dash said.

Orcas is following in the footsteps of Bainbridge and North Kitsap schools, which have up to 75 kilowatts of solar in a single building.

Dash also taught at Kitsap and saw firsthand the success of solar. As far as funding goes, Dash said that the school will pursue every avenue possible from grants to private investments to community fundraising to potential state support.

Dash added that the “rainy and cloudy” Northwest is actually an ideal region for solar panels.

“We have the benefits of summer solar intake and its cooler here so panels do better,” he said.

Dash urges members of the community to contact him at rdash@orcas.k12. wa.us or 317-8682 or the school at www.orcasislandschools.org with any questions about the project.

Cider and mead festival is back

by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG

S

Editor/Publisher

ince its launch three years ago, the Cider and Mead Festival has grown substantially each season.

“The original idea came from trying to get more tourists here outside of the normal season,” said organizer Rick Hughes. “I felt that cider business was going to explode and I wanted to support something that was made here in Washington. And I thought it would be a really fun activity and help launch the farmers market. I have a goal of 50 percent of the cafeteria food coming from local growers, so this supports the Farm to Cafeteria program.”

Around 20 hard cider and mead producers from the Northwest, California and British Columbia will be represented under the big white tent on Saturday, May 11 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the Eastsound Village Green on Orcas Island.

Some of those beverage makers are Finnriver, Sky River, Alpenfire, Honey Run, Methow Valley Ciderhouse, Hidden Valley, Tieton Cider Works, Chaucers Mead, Crispin, 2 Towns, and Snowdrift.

“There will be a rep from the Northwest Cider Association – they are a cool group of folks,” Hughes said. “It’s going to be everyone who was here last year plus a few new ones.”

Perched alongside the farmers’ market, the festival offers tastes of up to 70 varieties of unique and award-winning hard ciders and meads to those age 21 and over for $5 per person. Local musicians will be entertaining the crowd and visitors will also be able to mingle among the many booths housing crafts, organic produce, colorful flowers and artisans all during the day.

Orcas restaurants Doe Bay Cafe, the Inn at Ship Bay, the New Leaf and the Kitchen will be featuring menu items prepared with ciders as well as pairing ciders with entrees during that weekend.

All net proceeds from the event will benefit the Orcas Island Farm to Cafeteria Program, a nonprofit that helps bring local and nutritious food into the school.

In 2005, high school student Makala Forster brought the idea to Madie Murray, who helped spearhead the effort. Currently, 20 to 30 percent of the veggies, meat and herbs served is from island farms.

“I felt that our food supply has become very unhealthy and school lunch programs had gotten out of hand until these movements to get organic food into the school,” Murray said. “It is the soil that helps our students grow.”

In addition to the tastings, it’s a chance for islanders to show off their cider home brews. Last year’s winner Bob Vietzke will be at it again this year. He challenges any cider or mead home brewer on Orcas Island who thinks theirs is better to try to take away his bid to win “Best Orcas Brew of the Fest” for the second year in a row. The competition is held around 2 p.m.

“It’s going to be one of most intense and fun cider brew fests,” Hughes said.

Last year, 150 people attended and they raised $650.

The goal this year is 700 participants and $2,500 in fundraising. The festival received lodging tax money this year, which allowed for off-island promotion.

“I figure if you bring in 10 producers from off island and they each spend $200, that’s $2,000 spent in the community,” Hughes said. “And if 100 people come from off-island and spend money – you do the math.”

Benefits of worm composting The Orcas Island Garden Club meeting on May 15, at 10 a.m., in the Madrona Room of Orcas Center, will look into worm composting. Kristina Bayas is the Volunteer Coordinator for WSU Master Gardener Program. Kristina will teach us the basics for making, placing and starting our own worm bin. Worm bins are suitable for anyone, whether you live in a condo or a house with acreage. They can also be easy to make.

Worms can eat their weight every day. In an acre of land, there can be over one million earth worms. Worms tunnel deeply and bring subsoil to the surface, mixing it with topsoil. The worms secrete slime which contains nitrogen, an important nutrient for plants. Provided with food scraps, the worms make beautiful, rich compost for the garden.
