The newly formed Orcas CARES Coalition includes representative from Orcas Island Fire and Rescue, Orcas Senior Center, Hearts and Hands, San Juan County Sheriff ’s Office, Orcas Medical Foundation and Lahari. These representatives are joining forces on June 27 at the senior center to help make sure island residents
are prepared for medical emergencies. In an emergency, having information available to first responders is critical for quality care and treatment, say organizers. Members of the coalition will be on-hand to help residents complete “Life Forms Packets.” Volunteers will assist with completing the forms, providing “base-
Rebuilding the Exchange From June 2 to June 9, nearly 30 Orcas Islanders met with the intention of reaching a consensus on a design for the new buildings to house the Exchange. This group deliberated for a total of 14 hours. Much of the time was spent grappling with overall traffic flow and circulation issues in relation to the locations of various elements spread over the site – the tipping floor, the scales, the “ZEE” wall, the attendant’s station – as well as the sequences involved in the entire solid waste disposal, recycling, and reuse process. For the new Exchange, this flow and circulation will determine the locations for a receiving area for items being dropped off, parking, public entry, etc. For the Exchange itself, two buildings are proposed: one for household items and the other for building and construction materials. Under the terms of the agreement between San Juan County Public Works and Orcas Recycling Services all items must be stored under roof in structures that can be permitted under local building code. The group discussed a number of key issues central to the future buildings: • The project should include as large a roof area that could be afforded in the near
term with potential for expansion. • Below this roof should be a strategy for flexible expansion of heated or enclosed spaces. • The building should be able to incorporate solar PV and water catchment. • Studies of grades should be incorporated to understand the benefits and costs of an East/West vs. a North/South building. Participants in this community design process thus far are: David Kau, Janet Alderton, Donna Delong, Lisa Byers, Michael Riordan, Mark Mayer, Ellen Edwardsen, John Campbell, Ken Henriques, Fred Klein, Betty Bartleson, Wendy Shinstine, Lin McNulty, George Post, Harvey Rossiter, Zackarya Leck, Michael Greenberg, Susan Malins, Chuck Greening, Diane Baxter, Kim Skarda, Larry Coddington, Laurie Gallo, James Hahne, Errol Speed, Mark DeTray, Pete Moe and Kevin Sloan.
