Grief and motherhood by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter
Margi Miles describes the closeness she felt with her two children as unbreakable. When they were younger, she placed her hands over their hands and they made a pact. It was a promise that held them together when the shadows passed overhead. “Our code was transparency – that we would not hide anything from one another,” she said. Throughout the years they talked about everything from drug use to childbirth to heartbreak. But in just the span of five years, Margi lost both her children and grandchild. And though she feels their spirits with her every day, she struggles with their physical absence, the sounds of their voices and the look of their faces radiating life. “The pain is unfathomable,” she said. “The physical pain is obliterating … it’s so ... perplexing.”
The early years Margi looks back on the closeness she felt with her children Cali Bagby/ Staff photo

as an unexpected gift from their father. Her husband was an absent figure in the kids’ lives and she felt like she was mainly raising them on her own. “I got down on the mat of life with my kids and we started growing together,” she said. Margi was the baker of bread, the driver to sporting events and the chaperone of proms. It wasn’t always easy, but there were plenty of joyful memories. Living in California there were visits to the beach under sunny skies and trips to the Redwood forests, Yosemite and Disneyland. As her children headed toward their pre-teen years, Margi moved the family to Blaine, Wash., close to the Canadian border. There she purchased acreage and horses. Josh, her son, got thrown off his horse four times. True to his nature he got back into the saddle each time, but eventually went back to his main love of riding motorcycles. Josh started riding motorcycles at age four. It became immediately clear to Margi that he was going to live life on the edge. On the other hand his sister Jolee developed a love of riding. “Jolee was in Heaven,” said Margi. “She was a horse whisperer.” Jolee trained the horses herself
The new face of Orcas School District by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher
When kayaking and camping are your hobbies, the San Juan Islands might be the perfect place to live. Eric Webb accepted the position of Orcas Island School District superintendent because he appreciates island life. “My family and I have visited Mustang Island on the Texas Gulf Coastal for the last 18 years,” said Webb, who lives in Oklahoma. “We have a great appreciation for nature and marine life, and we have always wanted to live near the ocean. Orcas has everything the Gulf Coast has to offer and so much more.” Webb is replacing long-time superintendent Barbara Kline. “We feel Eric is going to be a steady hand and a calming influence for the district staff and he has a strong financial background,” said School Board Chair Scott Lancaster. “He has a reputation in the district that he is coming from as someone who can bring together different groups to go in the same direction. He was strongly supported by our community and staff, and most importantly, he understands developing a vision and carrying that forward for the district.” Kline has worked for Orcas School for 17 years, moving up the ranks
and became the Whatcom County barrel racing and pole bending champion one year. “She would be in the pasture in rain or snow riding bareback through the fields,” said Margi. Their lives were idyllic, but a dark period was to come – forcing a series of events that would change everything.
Dark days In her early teen years, Jolee gave up her love of horses, trading out for an adventure that included drugs and boys. Margi recalls driving into the underworld of Seattle and picking up her daughter. Three times, Margi came to her rescue, but on the last trip she told her daughter, ‘I will love you until I die, but I will not support these decisions any longer.’” For five months, Margi heard nothing from Jolee. She spent her days in limbo checking the obituaries hoping to not see a familiar name. Then one day Jolee called and said she was pregnant. Margi was terrified knowing that both of the parents were drug users. “But when Marlee was born she was a perfect miracle baby,” said Margi about her granddaughter. Soon after the birth, Jolee was

Krebs running for sheriff Blankets for food bank
Ron Krebs has announced his candidacy for San Juan County Sheriff. Krebs has a background of serving in the Marine Corps and he served in Kuwait in Operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield. He moved to San Juan County in 2006, and works as a deputy. He is also the current President of the Sheriff ’s Guild, the department’s State Washington Council of Police and Sheriff ’s Representative, the Field Training Officer tasked with training newly hired officer and he instructs boater safety classes. The following was submitted by Krebs in a recent press release.
“I am passionate about volunteer service. I am a nationally registered Emergency Medical Technician and have been active as a San Juan County EMT since 2010. I also care deeply about supporting our local schools and mentoring our youth. My wife and I have four teenage daughters who participate in a variety of school and community activities. “I am further offering to serve our community by becoming your sheriff. We need positive leadership and positive direction. We need a sheriff who will make decisions with the best interests of the entire County in mind. Our sheriff needs to be someone who can, and will, communicate with the public. We need a sheriff who realizes our county is unique and that we do not need to do everything the way it is done on the mainland. Finally, we need a sheriff who can effectively communicate and foster cooperation with both Fire and EMS, a skill essential for the health and safety of our citizens and visitors. San Juan County deserves a sheriff who is involved with the community, who will work hand-in-hand with all organizations, and who will work tirelessly to assure we have the safest community possible. I vow to be that sheriff, to lead by example and to hold myself and the entire department, accountable to the highest possible standards.”

dying and weaving going on. There were also a few old die-hard teachers who wanted to pass on their craft to younger (in those days) ones. Phyllis Blanchette “adopted” Joyce and a few others. They started a weaver’s co-op where one could weave and sell products to provide income for struggling families. Phyllis secured a small business loan and purchased an electric rug loom. Phyllis taught the women to weave on six 24-inch table looms. But Phyllis died unexpectedly of a heart attack. Her husband, Rod was forced to sell the big loom and close the shop. None of the workers had the financial ability to keep it going, but they did have what knowledge Phyllis was able to instill in them. Several weeks after her death, Joyce reminded Rod she still had the loom Phyllis had given her. His response was “and that is exactly where she would want it to be.” For several years Joyce wove,
but as babies joined their family and a full-time job came along the trusty loom moved into storage. In 2001, Kathy Roosma, primary teacher at OCS found out that a parent of one of her first graders, knew how to knit. Kathy asked Maria Nutt to start a knitting program at the school. Maria was a member of the San Juan Textile Guild and put out a request for knitting yarns and needles. Maria started teaching students “finger knitting,” and then proceeded with knitting with needles. Over the years, Maria has brought in her drum carder, spinning wheels and a floor loom for the students to use. The guild has donated yarn over the years, which has allowed the program to continue. In the past, the students have made blankets and hats that they have donated to Children’s Hospital in Seattle. In 2013, Joyce contacted Maria and asked her if she would like the table loom. After a little bit of elbow grease, the loom was ready to bring into the classroom. Andy Troxel constructed a new stand for the loom which allows the foot treadles to be used in addition to the hand levers. Textile learning continues at OCS. The students knit at least once a week and now have their own loom. It takes a community to make things happen.

Music, mead and more Grossman passes away coming this Saturday Ciders and meads are rich in history, rich in flavor, rich in antioxidants; and gaining in popularity around the world. Once of the first to celebrate ciders and meads with a festival in the Northwest was Orcas Island back in 2010. Orcas Island’s fourth annual Cider and Mead Festival will occur this Saturday, May 10 at 11 a.m. The big white tasting tent will be perched once again on the Eastsound Village Green alongside the Farmers Market that will be in full swing offering produce, flowers, crafts and cooking with cider demonstrations. Eighteen Northwest hard cider and mead producers including Shilling, Seattle Cider, Finnriver, Wescott Bay, Sky River, Alpenfire, Blue Mountain, Honey Moon, Reverend Nat’s, Tieton Cider Works, Honeyrun, 2 Towns, Adytum Cellars, Hidden Legend, Eaglemount and Snowdrift will be offering tastes to adults entering the big tent for taste tickets starting at just $5. New this year, unopened bottles of ciders and meads for off-site consumption may be purchased at the sales tent just outside the tasting tent.
A favorite event at the festival is the Orcas Island Cider Home Brew Competition. Around 2 p.m., Jim Litch and Rachel Bishop will learn if they are able to accumulate a second First Place Crow Valley trophy plate, or will they be dethroned by another? Bob Vietzke, who won the previous year might be planning a comeback. Competition will be tougher, however. Each year, the number gets bigger and the brews get better. Last year there were 16 entries – double from the previous year. Could it possibly be doubled again? Three local bands: the Dustbunnies, Crow Valley Family Band and Andonimus Sessions will be entertaining the crowd all day from Village Green Stage with musical strains from Celtic to soft rock. Check it all out at www.orcasislandciderfest.org or on facebook at www.facebook.com/orcasislandciderfest. Sponsored by Islanders Bank, the Northwest Cider Association, and Ray’s Pharmacy and General Store, the net proceeds from this event benefit the Orcas Island Farm to Cafeteria Program.
Ferry scam investigation by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter
Orcas Islander Peter Bohr purchased a five-ride ferry pass this spring and after using it only once, he was surprised when the ferry worker at the Anacortes terminal said he had zero uses left. Now Bohr is convinced that “thieves have breached the Washington State Ferries’ computer ticket system and are stealing unused rides.” Bohr wrote a detailed letter to Islands’ Sounder staff detailing his concern over the situation and stating that his pass and purchase receipt had never been out of his possession, therefore no one could have copied his information and that someone must be infiltrating the ticket system. According to Undersheriff Bruce Distler, the San Juan County Sheriff ’s Office is working with Washington State Ferries to investigate the ferry ticket fraud. “We will work with the ferry to bring the person or persons responsible to justice,” said Distler. He added that at this point there is no evidence that someone is going into the ferry system and stealing tickets. He did say the issue seems to be isolated to the Anacortes ferry terminal.
Marta Coursey, WSF director of communications, said “We can say with certainty that WSF’s credit card and IT systems have not been breached.” Coursey added that she has passed on multiple complaints to the sheriff. She would not comment on how many complaints she had recieved. The sheriff ’s office warns ferry riders to safeguard their ferry passes. Due to the fact that only the pass numbers are necessary to use the tickets, Distler says people should not have their passes visible at any time. Someone could easily take a photo with an iPhone and have your ticket
information. For Bohr, the incident has left him not only feeling robbed by an unknown person, but by the Washington State Ferries. He claims that after speaking with a ferry revenue control agent he was told he would not be reimbursed for the three “stolen” rides that he maintains cost a total of $83.34. He is currently working with WSF to possibly have his ticket refunded, but has yet to see the funds. Coursey said that WSF has no way of verifying if tickets are stolen “so we are unable to provide refunds.” The Sounder will continue to report on this ongoing investigation.

Busy time for Lady Vikings by MARTY ZIER Sports contributor
The Lady Vikings (3-7) took on Concrete (5-7) on April 29, and lost 15-5, dropping their third straight game to the Lions. “Basically Concrete hit the ball where we weren't ... they had about 20 hits. They play with a lot of confidence against us,” said Head Coach Jason Nichols. On May 2, the Vikings traveled to Friday Harbor (2-7) and lost both games of a double header but coaches decided a game played on Orcas last week should have ended at five innings by rule, giving the win to Orcas, 13-10. Asked about the difficulty with winning in Friday Harbor, Nichols chuckled and said, “Last year’s Head Coach Scott Harris and I have pretty much agreed it's haunted over there.” Orcas hitting highlights included a home run by Shelbi Rogers and 2/4 hitting and an RBI by Nigretto. On May 3 the Vikings played in the Blaine Tourney, coming home with a 7-4 win against Sehome, a 5-5 tie against Lynden and

Why we celebrate Mother’s Day
M
other’s Day has a rich history of motivating people to rise up for peace and human rights. Take a look at how Mother’s Day has affected our nation. Back in the 1800s, Ann Reeves Jarvis of West Virginia helped start “Mothers’ Day Work Clubs” to teach local women how to properly care for their children. Later these clubs performed a crucial task during the civil war by gathering former Union and Confederate soldiers to promote peace between the two groups. Mothers made another important historical splash in 1870. Julia Ward Howe wrote the “Mother’s Day Proclamation,” a call to action that asked mothers to unite in promoting world peace. But officially Mother’s Day came to be in the early 1900s thanks to Anna Jarvis, daughter of Ann Reeves Jarvis. Ann was inspired after her mother’s death to preserve a day to honor the sacrifices mothers made for their children. And even late into the 60s Mother’s Day was used to pursue of human rights. In 1968 Coretta Scott King, wife of Martin Luther King, Jr., used Mother’s Day to host a march in support of underprivileged women and children. Perhaps the reason Mother’s Day has been used for a larger agenda points to the power of the matriarch. We at the Sounder celebrate women who have experienced motherhood, and all the love, grief and magic that comes with that title. Read our Mother’s Day special on 8 and 9 to read about two mothers in our community who have shared with us poignant truths about being a mom. – Facts compiled from www.history.com.

To the Editor: Granny’s Attic Sale was a huge success Orcas Islanders rock! Once again, the people of Orcas have embraced the Senior Center by supporting Granny’s Attic Sale. We made our goal of $9,000 and that wouldn’t have happened without the support of so many of you. I would like to thank Roger and his students at the Christian School for their help moving boxes, the Friends of the Library for the use of some of their tables, the members of Life Church for helping us clean up, and Orcas Issues and The Islands’ Sounder for their wonderful coverage of the event. As everyone knows, these events don’t happen without the worker bees behind the scenes. My crew of Gael Shipstad, Beth Jurgensen, Dorothy Patton, Shelly Kinner, Millie Vetterlein, Lise Reinholt and others who worked for six weeks cleaning and pricing items and Irene O’Neil who was our linen gal. Last but not least, a huge “Thank You” to everyone who donated items and then came to shop. This event is a win-win for the people of Orcas and the Senior Center. Thanks again.

Getting involved The Common Sense Alliance was created in response to a complete disregard for property owners and the general wellbeing of our community. We very sincerely
asked over and over again, “What are the specific problems all these solutions are for? We were never given an answer. None of us wanted to “get involved.” We reluctantly realized that we were the only people willing to step up to see if we could help bring some common sense into the picture. Are we radical “rape the land” evangelist? Clearly not! We are people who care enough about you, the environment and this county, to meet almost every week for over five years. We’ve been doing our best to bring to your attention the consequences of giving in to the radical land use changes that so few of our citizens have yet to really grasp. Should such behavior disqualify all of us from serving on any public board? We have raised a very small amount of money, relative to the “Friends” bankroll, to challenge the Critical Area Ordinance immorally imposed on us by the lame duck San Juan County Council. We promote a CAO update based on multiple peer reviewed
science, that is proportional to any problems discovered, that allows for and encourages innovative solutions, and that is in balance with the economic realities of our county. Have lost jobs caused reduced school enrollment? There are some who are very annoyed that anyone would dare to stand in the way of their version of “saving the world”. I hope that most of you will agree that having a few people on the Planning Commission that question, and bring into the light of day, positions that they deem to be unfounded, to be a very good thing. When government steals away the enjoyment of one’s land, government is stealing the dreams and savings born of a lifetime of hard work. When there is no clear reason (nexus) for imposing heavy regulations and logic is nowhere to be found, one wonders what happened to “common sense?” Sam Buck Board member of the Common Sense Alliance

Miller retires from derby By ERINN NELSON
Special to the Sounder
Philip Miller has watched the children, who participated in the Annual Bill Yarlott Fishing Derby years ago grow up and bring their own kids back. When he was a boy, Miller said that “Opening day was a big deal.” Under his watch the Cascade Lake opening day derby has become more popular, drawing fishers from across the county. Miller said, “Participation has gone up steadily,” with 38 participants this year and more than 30 last year. Miller, a friend of Bill Yarlott the namesake and founder, has been running the derby for the last 16 years. Miller served as the President of Friends of Moran for ten years from 1997-2007, and has remained a friend to the state park and a big time fishing enthusiast. “I have pretty much lived beside and in the park,” Miller said of his love for Moran State Park and fishing. The fishing derby is sponsored by Friends of Moran and takes place the
last weekend of every April at Cascade Lake in Moran State Park. In 1996, the first year of the inter-island derby tradition, adults and children competed for prizes. However it became a kids-only derby the next year. “The idea is to have fun,” Miller said. But fun and fish aren’t the only rewards. Every year the fishers get prizes donated from the community. This year’s prizes were donated by Friends of Moran, Orcas Outfitters, Island Hardware, and Friday Harbor’s King’s Marine. The participants are also treated to a meal as a benefit from Friends of Moran. “Bill was famous for his chili,” Miller said. And Miller has become famous for his pancakes. But next year there will be a surprise menu. This year Miller announced he would be retiring from the derby and handing over the leadership role to Oleg Ashirov. Ashirov’s son Makar placed third in this year’s derby with a fish measuring

First place went to Christian Heisinger whose fish measured 17 inches. Many of the fish caught were Kokanee, the landlocked salmon that are cultivated at the Friends of Moran’s Moran Creek Kokanee Fish Hatchery. For those who are curious about their life cycle there is a live
exhibit and guided hatchery hikes. There is also a live “newtarium” featured in the Summit Learning

Compliments of the W. I. I. Orcas 1909 by JESSE CLARK MCABEE
for the Orcas Island Historical Society
T
hese words and initials are embroidered in gold thread on a crazy quilt in the Orcas Island Historical Museum’s current exhibit. They are a century old puzzle that speaks to us in the present from a time before smart phones, state run ferries and island airports. The quilt does show its age with a stain here and a thread bare block and a minor tear there. I confess I am not a quilter or have ever expressed much interest in them other than their warmth factor and visual aesthetics. As a curator, in helping to set up our latest exhibit I have learned much about these cultural objects, their variety and their role in the broader tapestry that is our heritage. It seems to me that a quilt is quite personal, for its creator and also for the owner. A signature quilt like the W.I.I. quilt exudes the creativity of the individual artisans who created it. The ladies, children and sometimes men who gathered together “to quilt” would combine their talents, materials on hand and imaginations in a sort of textile Chautauqua. A shared experience where the participants imparted their skills to others less
seasoned, learned new techniques caught up on the latest goings on and simply visited. But they never lost sight of the goal, the quilt, and the synthesis of their co-creativity both artistic and oh, so very practical. Many quilts on Orcas were made as raffle prizes to benefit someone or some place, or “fire quilts” for families who lost their belongings in fires, or simply to provide warmth and beauty in a home. It is no wonder that quilting today is perhaps as popular in America as it has ever been. This writer would not presume to convey the history of quilting in so short a space as this column. Our purpose here is to solve a mystery, this mystery of the W.I.I. quilt. We know the “Where”, Orcas, most specifically Orcas village. We know the “When” since the embroidered 1909 proudly glistens center stage on the quilt even after a century. We even know many of the authors of this historic “text” that speaks to a different time and place on our isle, answering the “Who”. The answer to our question of the “What” was surely known at one point, but today, professional and amateur historians, staff and volunteers, highly skilled
quilters, natives to Orcas and transplants all wonder. What does the W. I. I. stand for? Because it is in cursive we initially struggled to determine if the I’s might not be an S or an L or even an F. Our valued volunteer historian Virginia Jensen solved that part of the puzzle by finding an article in a 1907 newspaper that talked about Orcas village’s “W.I.I. club”. We now had a specific “Where” not simply island wide. Scratching our heads and blurting out possibilities we still search for the meaning of those initials. Can you tell us? Was one of the quilt’s creators listed here a great grandmother or an aunt that you once heard mentioning the W.I.I. club? Signed with needle and thread on some of the quilt’s blocks are the following names and initials, some quite easily read, others not so clear: O.V.M, M.I.C., Della Orlov Ganson, Mollie Sanders, Mrs. Octavia Van Moorham, Doree, Madeline McNulty, Cecil Sanders, Nulty, Elsie Loren?, L.M.K., Lizzy King, McN, Cecil, Mrs. Emma Ganson, M.C.C., Boots and H. P. Walrath. If you can solve our mystery please contact the Historical Museum at 376-4849 or drop by and see this amazing piece of Island history.

The board then contracted with the firm McPherson and Jacobson to assist in the process. Finalists were selected and interviewed in March and Webb was offered the position in early April. Webb worked as an elementary through high school teacher before obtaining his administration certification. He served as assistant principal in Texas, then moved to Oklahoma to his current district of 1,400 students and 125 staff. There Webb spent four years as a middle school principal, six years as an assistant superintendent, and is currently serving as assistant and interim superintendent.

Exploring Mars and the origin of life by CALI BAGBY
Contributed photo
Staff reporter
The Curiosity Rover has been operating on Mars since August 2012. On Sunday, May 18, 4 p.m., Center Stage at Orcas Center, Chris McKay will discuss efforts to determine the site’s habitability, focusing on searches for organic molecules – in other words “Is there life on Mars?” “If we find such organics, our next question will be whether they are of biological origin,” he said in a recent press release. McKay first became interested in space in college and developed a fascination with Mars in particular in graduate school. Now, he is a planetary scientist with the Space Science Division of NASA’s Ames Research Center. His research focuses on the evolution of the solar system and the origin of life. He is also actively involved in planning for future Mars missions, including human exploration. But until then, McKay travels to Mars-like environments in the Antarctic Dry Valleys, the Atacama Desert, the Arctic and the Namib Desert to conduct research.
Left: Chris McKay will lecture about life on Mars.
“Images from Mars look very much like desert landscapes,” he said. The fact that these deserts may be the closest visits he will ever make to that distant planet doesn’t discourage him.
“It is part of the mystery,” he said. McKay’s love of unsolved puzzles goes way beyond Mars into questions like the origin of life or the evolution of a solar system. He said it’s important to study these questions because “it helps us understand our place in the universe and, more important, helps us understand what we should do in the universe.” As for how the answer to these questions could affect our lives, McKay said it’s hard to predict. “There may come discoveries that do affect our lives,” he said. “But in any case the big questions are of interest in fundamental way even if they do not immediately affect our lives.” Tickets are $10 and available at Darvill’s Bookstore, online at www.orcascrossroads.org or at the door. Some complimentary tickets are available in advance at the Orcas Senior Center. For more information about the lecture series, visit www.orcascrossroads.com.
Surprises at OPALCO meeting by STEVE WEHRLY Journal reporter
In the middle of his opening welcome speech at the 78th OPALCO membership meeting, Board of Directors President Chris Thomerson shocked the 300 or so attendees by announcing that General Manager Randy Cornelius would be retiring. Foster Hildreth will be his successor. Cornelius was given a standing ovation by the crowd of 300 before giving a “state of the cooperative” address to the assembly. I n c u m b e n t s Vi n c e
Dauciunas and Glenna Hall were re-elected to the board of directors, but Steve Hudson pulled within 50 votes of Hall in the closest election with the largest turnout in recent memory. Dauciunas racked up the most votes, 1,658; Glenda Hall polled 1,112; Steve Hudson made a strong showing at 1,062 votes. Doug Rowan polled 497, Brian Hoyer 386 and John Sheehan 128. Two changes to the bylaws presented by petition to the co-op were rejected. The first amendment, which
would require three Energy Member Informational Meetings, was voted down by a 904 to a 1,438 majority. The second amendment, requiring streamed audiovisual or videoconferencing of board meeting, received 1,554 no votes to 776 yes votes. The 2,524 total votes cast was an unprecedented 23 percent of the approximately 12,000 OPALCO members. The announcement that Hildreth would take over as the top executive of OPALCO was a surprise to
most of the annual meeting audience, but not to the board. Dauciunas said the board had been talking about the succession plan in private executive sessions for almost a year. “The board talked with other co-ops in the state,”
said Dauciunas. “None of the co-ops we talked with had any suggestions. They told us we should promote from within if we had an experienced executive. We had that in Foster Hildreth so we saw no need to do an expensive executive search.”

he Sparks women owe their family to a gypsy fortune teller. In Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan, Deborah Sparks had her fortune read in tea leaves. As a 28-year-old artist and actor working for PBS and hosting a home repair show on television, the last thing on her mind was raising a family. But fate had other plans in mind – and the fortune teller told her she would return to San Francisco and start a family.
“I never thought I would have children,” Sparks said. Shortly thereafter, she moved to the west coast permanently after 10 years of commuting between New York and San Francisco for work. Her first date with the future father of her children was to the premiere of Stars Wars. Three weeks later, Bob, a sculptor, asked her to marry him. Months later, they welcomed daughter Amanda. Next came Annie. After Bob and Sparks separated, she and the girls moved to Eugene, Ore. where she

completed a bachelor’s degree in psychology. Sparks already earned a bachelors in theatre arts and a masters in behavioral health science while living on the East Coast. A chance visit to Orcas changed the direction of their lives again. In 1981, the three moved to the island – just as ground was breaking to build Orcas Center. By that time, Bob, who remained close friends with his ex-wife, was remarried and living in Seattle and continued to play a big role in the girls’ lives. Currently, he is completing the construction of the Seattle World Cruiser, which he is scheduled to fly around the world. Amanda and Annie grew up in the costume shop of the center, where Sparks has been a stage director for the last three decades and theatre productions director for 10 years. “Being an artist and a bohemian was at the top of the food chain,” Sparks said. “So some things were adamant and some things were not. I told the girls, ‘you need to be a polite and good person and be in the arts.’ It’s how I was raised.” Sparks’ father designed packaging for every day products, many of which are still in use today like pill packets that pop open and packages that have clear fronts so you can see the item inside. Sparks was raised by a very artistic family. The girls say their home life was bohemian and filled with great food, gardening and potlucks. Their home was an evolving mecca of creativity. Family dinners are still an integral part of their dynamic. Annie went to art school in Mexico and Canada. The three women collaborated on her final project on history of origins at Emily Carr University, performing an elaborate birth scene. Faculty members were so impressed they asked Annie to join the film department. She later went to culinary school in New England and blends her interest in food and art by making one-ofa-kind wedding cakes.
Amanda pursued marine biology and later a career in the culinary and event industry, but after the birth of her daughter, Ava, she went back to her roots in the fashion world. She now owns the Siren Boutique in Eastsound, where her love of fashion is on full display. “Mom is the ultimate do-it-yourselfer,” Amanda said. “We took things apart and put them back together. We had massive exposure on how to use tools. Now, when I see something, I see the possibilities.” With Sparks’ background in art and psychology, she also imparted emotional tools to her daughters. “It helped us to navigate through life,” Amanda said. Sparks said she believes in “letting people be who they are and standing behind them.” Amanda is passing on to Ava, who is six, what she learned from her mother: celebrating details in nature, allowing creative space and welcoming new experiences. Sparks says Ava is the “apple of my eye.” The two spend time together doing art projects and bird watching. “I’m amazed at her patience to wait for birds,” Sparks said. Amanda, Annie, Ava and Sparks are all in the Moulin Rouge production at Orcas Center May 8 and 9. It’s the first time as adults they have been on stage together. “I feel so lucky that both my daughters and my granddaughter are on the island,” Sparks said. “The most beautiful thing I have learned is to love and be loved in return,” – in reference to the famous line in Moulin Rouge. The women have weathered storms together – Sparks beat cancer several years ago – and they say humor is their glue. “It hasn’t always been easy, but we’ve evolved out of all that into something really positive,” Annie said. “We’re on an epic journey together. It’s always been the three of us – we stick together and figure it out.” Added Amanda: “The show must always go on.” And for Sparks, she sees her girls as her partners in life. “They are my fellow travelers,” she said.

MOTHER FROM 1 overwhelmed, and Margi, with the help of her extended family, raised Marlee until she was two. “It was awesome to be with Marlee,” Margi said. “But I also had to let my daughter go.” Jolee did return two years later and “they were inseparable after that,” said Margi about Jolee and Marlee. Meanwhile, Josh had joined the Coast Guard as a rescue cutter swim-

mer. Later he got a helicopter pilot license. He also worked numerous jobs as a contractor, stand-up comedian, musician, writer and real estate agent. Margi said she talked to her children every day and they visited often. “They both had goofball humor, they were very witty, out of the box thinkers and very spiritual,” said Margi recalling their personalities. Then in 2009, Marlee, who had diabetes type 1, died at age 17 – the same age her mother was when
she was conceived. Two years later Jolee passed away from cancer. The pain like a sudden and devastating crack in the earth shook Margi to the core. She found solace in alcohol. “The tragic part was that wine worked to numb my pain and because I didn’t properly address the grieving, my pain increased and my alcohol dose needed to increase,” she said. After getting sober in 2011, Margi was ready to face her pain. But just a year later the world seemed to crack and

spin again under her feet. In 2013, Josh was killed in a motorcycle accident. Margi had been sober for two years and the pain of losing Marlee and Jolee compounded as if she was experiencing all three deaths for the first time. “Being sober gave me the opportunity to gather all the fragments of my grieving,” she said. Just a few weeks ago, Margi made the journey to bury Josh’s ashes next to his sister and niece. “It was the beginning of some closure,” said Margi.
“Grace through necessity, but I am still angry at the Universe.” She said the mistake she made when Jolee and Marlee died was asking the Universe, “Why?” “That only leads to a path of pain ... there is no answer,” said Margi. “Life is to be experienced not to be understood.”
Looking ahead Margi has two tattoos over each shoulder blade. One is a phoenix that was inspired by Josh, who said

Over her heart, she plans to get an “Om” sign and three birds flying away. “The ‘Om’ represents oneness and the birds are my three kids whose spirits have expanded,” said Margi. “They have been freed.”

The Orcas Island Master Gardeners are launching a new “Plant a Row for the Hungry” program at the farmers market starting this Saturday. Gardeners are to plant some extra seeds in their garden and then, when the crops ripen, to donate their produce to the food bank. Sign up to participate in the program with the master gardeners booth at the farmers’ market on Saturdays. Plant a little extra seed in your garden and tend it with the rest of your garden. If you don’t have extra seed, you can get free seed from the Master Gardeners at their booth at the Orcas Island Farmers Market. The Master Gardeners will provide you with instructions on when, where, and how to
make your donations. You will also receive stickers that you can use to identify your produce as a PAR donation.
Adam Farish is bringing TEDx to Orcas Island. TED, which stands for “Technology, Entertainment and Design,” was founded in 1984 as a one-off event. The annual conference began in 1990 in Monterey, Calif. The speakers are given a maximum of 18 minutes to present their ideas. Past speakers include Bill Clinton, Jane Goodall, Malcolm Gladwell, Al Gore, Bill Gates, Bono and many Nobel Prize winners. TEDx events are for independent organizers who
www.nw-ads.com – Page 11
want to create a TED-like event in their own community. The event on Orcas will take place in the fall and will be held at The Outlook Inn. It will be a one day event that will feature at least eight speakers on a variety of topics. An open house will be held on Monday, May 12 at 5 p.m. at The Outlook Inn Victorian Room. Visit www. TEDxOrcasIsland.com for more information. “I’ve always enjoyed bringing together diverse
philosophies in a conference forum,” Farish said. “I was inspired by attending TEDxRainier in Seattle,
which drew 1200 attendees ... In December I applied for a TEDx license to produce an event on Orcas Island.”

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To make a firewood complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx
