Dozens of eagles have been spotted swooping over the waters of Crescent Beach with their talons outstretched and their beaks ready to carry off shiny perch.

Local photographer Amy Masters spent three days capturing the eagles with her Nikon.

She counted as many as 23 eagles at one point.

“It will be one of the moments I will remember for the rest of my life,” she said.

“We truly live in paradise.”

According to Russel Barsh, director for the Lopez-based laboratories Kwiaht, the eagles, seagulls and herons were gathering on the beach last week to feed on fish killed by a massive algal bloom.

Barsh, who sampled and analyzed the bloom on June 8, said it was made up almost entirely of Heterosigma akashiwo, a tiny organism implicated in fish kills in western Washington and the Pacific Coast.

A bloom also occurred in Shoal Bay on Lopez.

“It is unclear how or why Heterosigma kills fish,” Barsh said in a recent press release. “One possibility is that dense clouds of this tiny organism simply pack up inside the gills of fish, like a sand storm, and make breathing difficult.”

Kim Secunda, a volunteer for Kwiaht’s Indian Island Marine Health Observatory,

saw at least a dozen eagles feasting on dead fish along the tide line last Monday. Most of the fish were shiner perch, a schooling fish species that congregates each summer around Indian Island to reproduce.

According to Barsh these small fish are especially vulnerable to low oxygen levels.

He added that birds are not in danger by eating the fish. The organism causing the fish die-off is not toxic, just a physical problem affecting the gills of fish. Barsh has sent samples to NOAA’s Northwest Fisheries Science Center for further study.

What can be harmful to the eagles is the

influx of people watching them in action.

Shona Aitken, education coordinator for Wolf Hollow Rehabilitation Center, warns islanders to be aware of the birds while driving as they are prone to swooping down and could be injured by your windshield.

She also recommends not getting too close to the animals especially since it's breeding season and many eagles are bringing food back to their young.

“Use a long lens so you are not affecting their behaviors,” said Shona about photographing wildlife.

She added that these birds may be beautiful to observe, but they are also fierce predators. The biggest birds are females ,and the average weight of local bald eagles is about 10 to 12 pounds.

“People are pretty amazed when they hear that,” she said, referring to how large they are. She has seen eagles with talons the same width as a human hand.

Aitken guesses that these predators of the sky will be seen at Crescent Beach until the fish are gone.

“They are taking advantage of this bonanza,” she said.

against a backdrop of a quilt made when the class was in kindergarten. It featured 12 of the 23 graduating students’ handprints.

The seniors were: Sky Bear Aguilar, Aidan Anderson, Diansa Anuenue, Chris Babcock, Matthew

Bowen, Carra Bowes, Caleb Dean, Eric Eagan, Brigid Ehrmantraut, Wayne Foster, Jack Gates, Caitlyn Holley, Emily Jackson, Maya Burt Kidwell, Joe Kostechko, Zack Kostechko, Lindsay Lancaster, Isabella Nigretto, Sebastian Paige, Alex Rogers, Shelbi Rogers, Jack Russillo and Zachary Tillman.

Co-valedictorians Ehrmantraut and Jackson spoke about the diversity and strength of their class and Salutatorian Russillo pointed out that the class of 2014 is the final group of kids to graduate under superintendent Barbara Kline.

School Board Vice President Janet Brownell spoke of Kline’s 40-plus years in education.

“She believes in the potential of each child to be his or her best,” Brownell said.

Kline is retiring June 30. She came to Orcas Island in 1990 as the high school principal and has

been superintendent since 2008.

Eric Webb, who is replacing Kline, also spoke at the ceremony and is “excited” to be a part of the Orcas community.

Other retiring staff members are Sharon Harvey, Iris Graville, Gail Glass and Marie Hilje.

The class presented the first annual “senior appreciation award” to school office manager Georgia Philbrook in the amount of $1,000. An anonymous donor is providing this new tradition.

Elementary teacher Mandy Randolph gave the commencement address and left her beloved students with these parting words: “Asking is free. The worst that can happen is that someone will say no ... people don’t know what you want until you tell them.”

The students received $110,000

Local author book signing OICF gains recognition

Orcas author David Turnoy, pictured above, has released his debut histori-

cal fiction novel “American Tales: Stories of America’s Past for the Young People of Today.”

He will sign books at Darvill’s on Wednesday, June 25 at 6 p.m.

Turnoy is a retired elementary education teacher with a long-time interest in history. In “American Tales,” six intermediatelevel elementary students enroll in an after-school American history enrichment class.

Their teacher helps them to learn about important

events – from the time of explorers through the Civil War and Reconstruction – not only through class discussion but also by traveling back in time to these important events.

In each new epoch, the students are met by a young person their own age who guides them through the experience, enabling the students to experience history firsthand and sometimes a little too close for comfort.

“I truly believe that only by possessing an honest and full knowledge of our past can we genuinely understand our present, which informs our thoughts and actions as we work for a better future,” said Turnoy.

For more information, visit www.americantales. net.

Thanks to the generous and ongoing contributions of so many islanders, the Orcas Island Community Foundation is proud to announce that OICF has been ranked number five in the United States in gifts per capita based on a nationwide survey.

CF Insights, a national foundation research organization, surveyed 280 community foundations throughout the United States to assess granting and community impact. They tracked Most Active Grant makers, Most Gifts per Capita and Most Activity. OICF gained the 5th place in the Per Capita category by facilitating gifts at a rate of $509 per resident. Our Foundation ranked number six in Most Active Grant making as well, based on a distribution rate of 22 percent of assets. The full report, Benchmarking Beyond Asset Size from CF Insights is available online, www.oicf.us.

This national status is due entirely to the generosity of so many friends and neighbors. OICF has developed an annual grants process and a state of the art online giving platform that connects donors to the many amazing projects and programs that serve the Orcas community. This process has

resulted in ever-increasing grants flowing through OICF into the community and funding the schools, library, arts, environment and many needed social services such as the dental van and food bank thanks to our many Partners in Philanthropy and donor advised funds. When donors give through OICF, the entire donation goes directly to the designated grant and organization with no administrative fees. It is a great community service.

The Community Foundation currently holds $6.6 million in funds for over 40 organizations and individuals. Of that total, $1.3 million is the Community Endowment.

Distributions from this endowment partially fund the annual grants as well as Foundation operations and nonprofit capacity building programs. Last year, donations to the Foundation ranged from $10 to over $100,000 and each gift made our community stronger. OICF thrives, thanks to the contributions of so many, and welcomes all to participate as Partners in Philanthropy.

Rosario man arrested for Two dreams coming true alleged drug possession A search warrant was executed by San Juan County Sheriff ’s detectives and deputies assisted by a Bellingham police K-9 team at a Rosario area home on Orcas Island on June 13 in connection with a drug investigation.

The search resulted in the seizure of drugs, scales, packaging materials, cash and firearms. The 40-year-old male resident of the home was arrested on several charges including “Violation of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act” and being a “Felon in Possession of a Firearm.”

He is being held in San Juan County jail pending a court appearance on Monday. The arrest and service of the search warrant culminated an extensive investigation by the detectives and deputies into activity in and around this residence.

Conflict at Larsen’s kickoff

by CALI BAGBY Assistant editor

Islanders showed up with signs promoting green energy at a recent campaign kickoff for Representative Rick Larsen of the Second District, who is running for re-election.

Orcas and Lopez Islanders came equipped to Odd Fellows Hall on June 8 with environmental concerns primarily focused on the proposed coal terminal at Cherry Point and jet noise pollution.

Coal terminal If approved, the $650 million Gateway Terminal would be the largest bulk export facility on the West Coast, perhaps in the nation.

At full capacity, it would be capable of exporting up to 54 million metric tons of coal a year from the plant that SSA Marine, which operates an export terminal at the Port of Seattle and others worldwide, is seeking to build at Cherry Point, just north of Bellingham.

The proposed facility would store coal transported by rail from Montana and Wyoming’s Powder River Basin on coal-train caravans, each more than a mile long, circulating daily through the plant. The coal would then be shipped through the Salish Sea and San Juans by cargo ships – many of which measure more than three football fields in length – to Asian markets, where it would be sold as fuel.

FRIENDS of the San Juans Board Vice President Janet Alderton said her goal at the recent meeting was to inspire Larsen to reconsider his support for the coal terminal. Alderton told Larsen that the proposed Gateway Pacific Terminal is “all risk and no benefit” for the islands.

Larsen has been vocal about his support for the

coal terminal because he says it will create jobs.

Alterton voiced her opinion that there are other ways to support job growth through companies that provide solar energy, wind power and other energy efficient services.

Larsen told the Sounder that he supports renewable energy and hopes in the future that they will create more jobs, but currently cannot compete with the 2,000 jobs produced by the terminal.

He added that there are thousands of Washingtonians are out of work and as a Democrat one of his main concerns is job creation.

Larsen does support President Obama’s EPA proposals to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. At the event, Alderton accused him of being hypocritical because he supports the reduction of coal burning in the U.S. but favors the export of public coal reserves to be burned in Asia.

Larsen told the Sounder that as an elected official he is constantly “trying to find balance” between the economy and the environment.

Jet noise The other hot topic at the event was jet noise on Lopez Island. The noise from thousands of engine tests and training runs by new EA 18G “Growlers” and other planes at Naval Air Station Whidbey and Outlying Landing Field Coupeville has generated concern.

Karen Grimes, Cynthia Dilling and Councilman Jamie Stephens attended the campaign kickoff from Lopez.

Dilling had hoped that Larsen would hold meetings on both San Juan and Lopez so he could hear the Growlers and hear from the people.

Larsen told the Sounder

that he has yet to make a decision on organizing such a meeting. He did say that he has been working with U.S. Navy on communicating to Lopez when carrier landings take place.

“It’s reasonable to have the Navy communicate to the public,” said Larsen.

Currently he is working on getting an answer from the Navy about the landing issue.

“Our issue is to try to mitigate the noise we are receiving from Ault Field, which is affecting our quality of life, sleep, property values, use of our property and peace and quiet on which the economy of our county rests,” said Dilling about her motivation to attend Larsen’s kickoff.

She added that she is concerned Larsen’s support of the military and jobs the base in Oak Harbor provides overshadows the problems islanders are facing when it comes to jet noise.

This June, Larsen responded to the Navy’s decision to base six P-8A squadrons at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island by saying, “I have been a determined advocate to bring the P-8As to Whidbey Island.

They will serve a critical role in our country’s pivot to the Asia-Pacific region as a focus for security and economic interests. I am pleased the Navy has once again shown its commitment to NAS Whidbey Island.”

Larsen has also served on the House Armed Services Committee since he came to the House of Representatives in 2001.

“My impression is that Representative Larsen is so deeply enmeshed with the military and the jobs it supplies for Boeing and the $1 billion that flows into Oak Harbor, it is hard for him to hear and respond to our concerns,” said Dilling.

Two long-time friends have collaborated to open a vintage storefront in Eastsound.

“Atelier Vintage Market is a dream come true for me,” said Nicole Kraayeveld.

“It was conceived from my adoration of all things vintage and birthed through my passion to restore life and beauty to broken down timeless treasures.”

Atelier, pronounced ahtel-yay, means artist studio.

It offers painted furniture, designer paint and supplies, new and consigned home decor, hand-made clothing, art, jewelry, garden art and more.

Also inside the shop is Sarah Shaefer’s candy store

A letter to graduates

Thanks for monument meetings

E

very year a new batch of eager young adults stand on the threshold of adulthood. With a diploma in one hand and an iPhone in the other, they are prepared to take on the world.

A lot of resources have been invested in preparing you for this moment. You have what it takes to survive in this world, and you have the confidence that comes from pushing yourself. You earned money to go on school trips, performed on the community theater stage, competed in sports, took advanced placement exams, wrote music and produced videos. You participated in community projects here and abroad. You know about teamwork and fair play.

You also have resilience, something that you learned from living in this isolated place. All of your life here, you’ve seen how your community won’t say “no” when the chips are down.

Now, you’ve donned your cap and gown and earned a diploma. We asked our readers to offer some words of wisdom as you start this new chapter of your lives. Here is what they had to say.

• Surround yourself with people you admire.

• Don’t say no to adventure.

• Complete a small goal towards your dreams every day. Practice, and have faith in yourselves.

• Work hard and play harder.

• Unless there’s fire and brimstone the sky, it’s never the end of the To read coverage of the in world. graduation ceremony, • Help make the world a better see page one. place than you find it.

• Set your goals high, live your dreams, never settle, and never, ever think you’re not good enough.

• Don’t forget to use your ears. Listening is a great learning tool.

• Take good care of your body.

• Please remember that your integrity is the measure of your character and without integrity you are just another pretty face.

• All your biggest dreams and planning may not go as you foresee – it’s what you do and how you act when those “bumps in the road” happen that will forever define you.

• Above all else, do what you love. Success and failure offer equal opportunity. If you do what you love, success and failure are secondary because you loved doing it. Far better than succeeding, or worse, failing at something you hated doing. Live the life you love and love the life you live!

• Pay your bills FIRST! Save as much as possible and with what is left have a little fun once in a while. But remember, just because you WANT something does NOT mean you deserve to have it. Credit cards are for chumps – if not used wisely.

Two weeks ago the BLM hosted gatherings to enlist aid from our communities in composing the San Juan Islands National Monument interim management policy.

Three meetings were well attended and wholly participant – it was a great success. With the Resource Management Plan completion possibly four years away, it’s important for everyone to know the solid ground we stand on to ensure that the best can happen, and to understand how to bring that about.

We learned a great deal! Every one of the gatherings brought useful and unique contributions to the draft and there were lots of thought-provoking conversations that are applicable to day to day actions. I want to thank you all for your participation and investment.

If you haven’t had a chance to look this draft through, please feel free to review it on line and email your suggestions to me by June 20.

We are very grateful for your participation in conserving this lovely landscape.

Please support youth conservation corps I recently read that the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee overlooked the Youth Conservation Corps of Lopez, Orcas and San Juan when recommending grants for the coming year.

Each of the recipients of funds totally $409,000 are worthy organizations. Their missions enhance the islands for visitors and residents alike. Similarly, the Youth Conservation Corps also makes a positive contribution to the visitor experience. In years past, you could observe several crews throughout the islands in the summer months providing trail and recreation site maintenance, noxious weed eradication, litter collection and beach clean up.

These collective efforts – in coordination with BLM, County Parks, the National Park Service, County Land Bank, San Juan Preservation Trust, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, and the San Juan County Noxious Weed Board – assist with the stewardship of our amazing public lands.

Visitors and residents enjoy the fruits of their labors all throughout the year. In turn, the youth participants gain invaluable work and educational experience. This exposure will serve them well as they prepare for further work opportu-

nities and future leadership roles in government, business and the arts in our communities and beyond.

If we continue to support and expand this novel program, visitors to the San Juan Islands who are out enjoying our beautiful public spaces may encounter the youth work crews and marvel not only at the amazing natural surroundings of this archipelago but also at how our island communities have taken positive steps to engage our youth with the stewardship of their unique environment.

Let’s ensure that all worthy and deserving causes are served by the lodging tax revenue. Please join me in suggesting that at least a portion of these funds go to support this endeavor by contacting Bob Jarman, Jamie Stephens or Rick Hughes at council@co.san-juan. wa.us.

Fish with legs?

In a previous letter to the editor I wondered why the county road department would leave large stumps in Cascade Creek. A nice gentleman from the department quickly answered my inquiry, advising that the stumps were meant for fish habitat. I appreciated the prompt response, and the information, and have been wondering

LETTERS FROM 4 ever since how the fish are doing in the creek.

Now I can’t help but notice that the stumps have been removed from the creek, and are lying about 75 feet away on dry land.

Does this mean that our fish have grown legs and can now stroll over to the stumps when they need some habitat? Now, Olga is truly an amazing place, as our residents know quite well, but having the fabled “missing link,” the fish with legs, resident in our little creek would really be something quite astounding!

Sadly, I suspect that is not the case. I’m sure I could look for quite awhile before finding any fish with legs in Cascade Creek. As for the fish without legs, I wonder what they are doing for habitat these days?

Thanks to county road crew I just wanted to say thank you to the county road department for all the great things they have accomplished this spring, especially the Orcas crew.

Our road was dust-sealed prior to June 1, what a treat to not eat the dust as well as a 75 percent decrease in car washes. The mowing along the roads as well as cutting back the foliage at the corners to increase visibility and the tree trimming and leaning branches over the roads is probably the best if seen in the fourteen years I’ve lived here.

Thanks for the attention to detail, it makes the money spent seem worth it and I believe it will create a generally safer driving platform for all.

Wi-Fi concerns continue I don’t know about you but with office billing, research for my patients, personal contacts with family and friends and some online shopping, I must spend at least two hours a day on the computer.

I choose to use my computer both at home and at work from a corded DSL ethernet connection.

I choose to have a corded connection because at the point of exposure on a laptop or tablet I am exposed to microwave radiation similar in strength to that of a cell phone tower only 100200 meters away. This is because the signal strength falls off in proportion to the square from the distance of emission i.e. very rapidly.

Page 5

The distance from a tower is measured in hundreds of meters, but from a Wi-Fi antenna it is only a few meters, and from a laptop or tablet it is measured in just inches.

Spending two hours a day on a wireless computer connection via Wi-Fi exposes me to even more microwave radiation than I would from two hours a day on a cell phone because the device is sending radiation over my entire head and torso and pelvis.

OPALCO’s broadband would be a wonderful asset to our island community if we could bring the fiber optic connection to each home. But if the broadband is only sourced from wireless towers those like me who spend at least two hours a day on the Internet will be exposing ourselves

daily to radiation at levels that will cause adverse biological health effects.

Right now our students at the Lopez School and our health team at the Lopez Medical Clinic are increasingly under hours and hours of harmful exposure from wireless connections to laptops and tablets.

Below is a list of the most recent papers finding adverse biological effects or damage to health from Wi-Fi signals, Wi-Fienabled devices or Wi-Fi frequencies (2.4 or 5 GHz).

Papers listed are only those where exposures were below 16V/m. Someone using a Wi-Fi-enabled tablet computer can be exposed to electromagnetic fields up to 16V/m.

Brand new sheriff’s boat is here Seven honored for stewardship

by SCOTT RASMUSSEN Journal editor

Bigger. Faster. Built to endure.

And with a lot more firepower—as in a pump that can shoot out 1,500 gallons of water per-minute, three times the amount that’s now available to fight a fire at the water’s edge.

The San Juan County Sheriff ’s Department took possession of its new public safety boat, “Sentinel,” Monday morning at the Port of Friday Harbor.

Funded by a $600,000-plus federal grant and built by Burlington-based Munson Boats, the “Sentinel” and its arrival in Friday Harbor signal an end to a two-year bureaucratic odyssey for the Sheriff ’s Department and the beginning of a new era of public safety out on the water.

“I am elated to see this come to fruition,” Sheriff Rob Nou said.

The sheriff ’s department will maintain and operate the “Sentinel” in partnership with the San Juan Island fire department and Shaw Island fire department. Previously, officials of

Local officials get acquainted with the Sheriff Department's new public safety boat, the “Sentinel,” in Friday Harbor. the fire districts on Lopez and Orcas and the San Juan Emergency Medical Services, opted out of joining what initially had been conceived of as a maintenance and operation agreement between all the county’s public safety agencies.

“We have always been a partner with the sheriff ’s office and we will continue to be,” said Orcas Fire Chief Kevin O’Brien. “We haven’t worked out the details yet of how we will use the boat.”

Nou estimated that maintenance of the department’s fleet will be about $100,000 per year – although some of that cost will be allocated to the San Juan Island and Shaw

Island fire departments and to operation grants from a number of outside agencies that benefit from the department’s activity out on the water, such as the Washington Department of Licensing, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Department of Homeland Security.

In addition to greater water-pump capacity, the Sentinel is equipped with twin Volvo diesel engines, is 38-by-12 feet in size, has a 7-foot wide “bow ramp” and can reach 40 mph at top speed, Nou said.

San Juan Island Fire Department Chief Steve Marler anticipates a three to

four month training period before firefighters are fully familiar with the equipment and operation of the “Sentinel” and are ready to use the boat in responding to a fire.

The “Sentinel” is also expected to replace San Juan Island Fire Department’s fireboat “Confidence,” however, as well as the sheriff ’s department’s 25-year-old Boston Whaler, both of which have been deemed to be past their useful lives, according to public safety officials.

The “Guardian,” a 32-foot boat acquired in 2005 at a cost of about $260,000 and a replacement value of about $400,000, will replace the Boston Whaler and be stationed at Orcas. The county Public Works Department also operates a 35-foot aluminum landing-craft workboat and two 20-foot boats.

Construction of the vessel was funded through a Department of Homeland Security grant. Under terms of the grant, the “Sentinel” was expected to be in the water and ready for use by mid-August.

Seven Good Steward awards will be presented to islanders and local organizations in recognition of exceptional environmental stewardship on Saturday, June 21 at the Orcas Island Solstice Celebration.

At 11 a.m., winners will be presented with a “Finee” award – a glazed ceramic salmon made by Crow Valley Pottery – at the cluster of booths hosted by Stewardship Network members. This years’ award winners are: Youth Stewardship: Zach Kostechko of Orcas Island. A senior at Orcas High School, Zack contributed a total of 66 volunteer hours serving with the Orcas Youth Conservation Corps last summer. He also served as a cadet for the Orcas Volunteer Fire Department and helped plan and install a demonstration rain garden in front of Ray's Pharmacy.

Educator Stewardship: Debbie Taylor of San Juan Island.

Debbie teaches math and science to sixth grade students at Friday Harbor Elementary School. Through the use of multi-media technology and dynamic learning experiences, she motivates her students to develop skills that will encourage creative thinking while becoming responsible and respectful global citizens.

Farmland Stewardship: Christine Langley of Lopez Island. A sustainable organic farmer for over 15 years, Christine controls diseases and pests organically, rotates her crops, uses drip irrigation and rain water for watering, utilizes solar energy for chicken fences and keeps bees to help pollinate her crops.

Individual Stewardship: Chuck O’Clair of San Juan Island.

Chuck has been an invaluable animal care volunteer at Wolf Hollow for more than 12 years. He has also volunteered countless hours to various organizations, including conducting beached bird surveys for COASST, collecting data for Three Meadows Marsh and Christmas bird trumpeter

Harveys are grand marshals Spring book fair a success

“Neighbors Helping Neighbors” is the theme for the Chamber of Commerce’s annual Community Parade, scheduled for Saturday, July 5 in Eastsound.

“One of the things that makes island living exceptional is our powerful sense of community – every time we help each other as individuals, we grow stronger as a whole,” said Susan Gudgell, chamber board president.

The Harvey family (Russ and Rita, pictured above, and children Rich, Rob, Ryan, Rachel, Ray and Renae along with Mom/ Grandma Francis Harvey) will all serve as Grand Marshals of the parade. Russ has been an islander for more than 50 years and met wife Rita when she visited the island in the mid 1970s. They married in 1979. Francis has led the way as a tutor and

educator of island children for more than 30 years. Russ has been serving San Juan County as an employee in the Public Works Department since 1981. Russ and Rita have provided day-care and foster care for 20 years; Rita served as a 911 dispatch operator (from home) and continues her service today as a long-time volunteer EMT/FF Captain with Orcas Fire and Rescue. All six children have found a niche in giving back to the community.

The Chamber of Commerce – with the sponsorship of Island Market – is offering a $100 cash prize and two $50 Island Market gift certificates for the top three entries that most uniquely capture the theme of the parade. Visitors and residents alike are invited to enjoy the parade on North Beach Road and Main Street in Eastsound starting at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 5.

Parade entry forms are available at the chamber office and on the chamber website. Parade entry fees are $25 (nonprofit and community organizations) and $35 (businesses) per group regardless of number of people. The fee will go towards the fireworks display in Eastsound on July 4.

The deadline to submit entries is June 28. fireworks donation containers are located at Island Market to help pay for the show.

OIEF turns 30 This year is the Orcas Island Education Foundation’s 30th Anniversary.

Kathy Youngren, its founder and first Board President, remembers, “As with many parents, wanting the best for our children, we explored sending our boys to a private school. Then we realized we could make the ‘best’ right here on Orcas.

We could work to make our public schools better than

any private school.”

With the full support of the school board and administration, the foundation created means for the public and private sectors to work together. In 2007, the school district was looking to make a massive reduction in the teaching staff. OIEF went out to the community and raised more than $250,000 in less than four months.

The district is now in a better financial state and OIEF looks to enhancing the schools’ programming.

This year alone, donors have funded the 6th grade’s trip to the Olympic National Park, expanded “Farm to Classroom,” a high school guitar-building class and helped send high school strings to Disneyland for a concert – and much more.

OIEF is holding its “Food for Thought” dinner and auction on June 28 at Random Howse at 6 p.m.

To buy tickets go to www. oief.org.

Always working to instill and nourish the joy of reading, Darvill’s Bookstore once again joined the Orcas School District and the PTSA in celebrating National Children’s Book Week in May. Children’s book authors and illustrators held interactive presentations with the students, and a book sale lasted the full week.

Darvill’s worked with publishers and distributors to pull together a full selection of quality recommended books to be sold at the sale, and 20 percent of sales were donated to the school library. The teachers also played a vital role in creating their own “Wish Lists”

OPALCO adds frequency OPALCO has purchased a partitioned portion of the Vulcan Wireless LLC 700 MHz FCC license to add to the OPALCO grid control network, as well as a collaboration agreement with Vulcan Wireless to learn from the Co-op’s deployment for the benefit of other rural communities.

The 700 MHz license, the same that has been used for decades to deliver television programming, will increase OPALCO’s ability to keep in communication with crew members in the field, connect and monitor remote equipment and improve emergency communication for public safety first responders. In addition, OPALCO can use this tool to help improve telecommunications capability for the whole county, allowing homes and businesses to access OPALCO’s broadband network through high-speed wireless connections.

OPALCO is designing the expansion of its grid control network (also called the backbone or middle mile) to satisfy its automated electrical distribution system

needs. With the acquisition of the frequency, the plan will include 17 pole locations county-wide for crew communication and emergency public safety communication.

Once the immediate requirements of public safety, field communications and grid management are met, OPALCO leadership will work to integrate wireless options into its Island Network broadband offerings and business plan in progress. As with the electric side, all end-user connections would be provided at the cost of service so that only members who are using broadband services will pay for them.

by COLLEEN S. ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher

The University of Washington rowing team won its fourth straight Intercollegiate Rowing Association championship on June 1.

And freshman Jake Zier was front and center.

“My first year was a neverending experience,” he said.

“Every day was challenging and my rowing skills grew immensely.”

Zier graduated from Orcas High School in 2013 and was recruited by the UW Freshman Heavyweight Crew team after first meeting head coach Michael Callahan while in the 10th grade.

Zier was a part of the Orcas Island Rowing

Association for five years under coach Tina Brown.

He participated in U.S. Rowing Club Nationals every year.

“The UW Freshmen Crew is a very talent deep program,” said Jake's dad Marty. “Aside from the 25 freshman recruits, known as Grunties, over 75 guys 'walked on' and tried to make the team. After weeks of workouts and competitions, none made it.”

Jake seat-raced early in the season and ended up in the 1F boat, the fastest one

in the freshman fleet. His team-mates include athletes from Eastern Europe and Italy.

After early season success racing against Brown, Stanford and UC Berkeley, the UW freshman boat had not lost a race going into the Pac 12 Rowing Championships May 18 in Gold River, Calif. UW finished first, beating California, Oregon State, Stanford and Colorado.

Then came the Intercollegiate Rowing Association regatta in West

Windsor, New Jersey, which sets the stage for the top men's crew teams in the U.S. to compete for a national title.

UW 1F qualified for the Grand Final on June 1, dominating against California, Harvard, Wisconsin and Cornell and ultimately taking the Stewards Cup. This victory made the UW 1F the National Champions in the freshman class.

The UW men's varsity won the main race of the event, and Washington won three of five races, capturing its eighth straight Ten Eyck Trophy, given to the team with the most total points in the IRA. The varsity four won by three seconds, and the freshman eight won by almost six seconds.

Some of Jake’s favorite memories from the year are paint-balling and rowing at Lake Samish camp with the team. His goal for next year is to make the second varsity boat.

Jake was also on the Dean's List for his first two quarters at school but told his dad not to expect similar grades for his final quarter.

“We've been rowing a lot!” Jake laughed.

Magic show coming in July “The Magic Show” is coming to the Sea View Theatre on July 5. It will start at 7:30 p.m. with a BBQ beginning at 6 .m.

The show will feature the magic and illusions of Matthew Laslo and aerial

silk artists Maria Bullock, Madi Jane West and Virginia Sides.

ver the past several months, our board, staff and volunteers have been very busy in fun and exciting ways.

We recently hosted seven young men and women of AmeriCorps at the museum. They helped us with collection care, office work and landscaping.

The museum successfully applied for and has received several grants over the past year including a Washington Rural Heritage grant for digitizing our Geoghegan collection of photos and a San Juan County Historic Preservation grant.

We recently held a very successful new logo design contest and chose the winner by popular vote among the board. We wanted a logo that would be emblematic of both our homestead heritage and our ownership and stewardship of the historic Crow Valley School House that was built in 1888. Orcas Islander Daniel Mello was the contest winner and took home a check for $250 for his design at pictured above at right. Contest entrants Asya Eberle and Boone McKinney both received smaller cash prizes as well and saw their designs on museum store merchandise. A fourth entry will become a T-shirt design.

Carla Stanley designed and stocked our newly expanded museum gift shop in collaboration with museum staff and board members. We have all new logo merchandise running the gamut, from home spun to

Miro presents Beethoven concerts Beginning Monday, June 23 the world renowned Miró Quartet will perform Beethoven’s 16 string quartets in chronological order in 5 concerts. Concerts will take place at Orcas Center on Monday, June 23, Tuesday, June 24, Wednesday, June 25 and Saturday, June 28 at 7 p.m., with the final concert Sunday, June 29 at 4 p.m.

To see these musicians perform upclose, order Stage Seating online at www.oicmf.org (blue Miró Beethoven box on left side), or call the OICMF office 376-6636. Tickets are $30, $10 students 18 and under.

The Miró week begins with a Music Lovers Seminar at the Orcas Senior Center on Monday, June 23, from 1:30 – 4:30 p.m. Stephen Rumph, associate professor of Music History at the University of Washington and internationally recognized scholar, will set the stage for the Miró Quartet’s performances.

from his early Viennese years until his death. Tickets are $30, students 18 and under free. www.oicmf.org.

In addition, there will be two Open Rehearsals - Tuesday, June 24, 4:30 – 6 p.m. and Saturday, June 28, 4:30 – 6 p.m. These rehearsals will be open to

IT’S ELECTRIFYING! SEVEN STEPS TO ELECTRICAL SAFETY OPALCO Linemen are first responders for public safety. You can count on your Co-op to take care of downed lines and other power emergencies. If you see downed lines or other power emergencies, be a hero: call 911. OPALCO is serious about safety.

Did you know?

Some of our power lines are energized at 69,000 volts. That is nearly 300 times more than the voltage in the wires of your home.

Electricity is a part of our everyday lives and must be treated with respect. Everyone should know the 7 Steps to Electrical Safety. Learn them and pass them on. Remember, they don’t call it power for nothing!

1. 30 feet to safety

Stay back at least 30 feet from any fallen power line or exposed underground cable.

NEVER try and touch or move downed power lines. Call 911 and OPALCO will respond.

LIFE CHURCH

Sunday 10:00 am Senior Center on 62 Henry Road Nursery and Kid’s Life Contemporary Passionate Worship Our Vision: Share Jesus. Share Life.

2. Look up and live When working outside: look up, check and keep equipment clear of overhead power lines.

LUTHERAN CHURCH IN THE SAN JUANS (ELCA)

4. Don’t hang around operating equipment Stay at least 30 feet from operating equipment, in case it contacts an energized line.

ST. FRANCIS CATHOLIC CHURCH Orcas - St Francis Church in Eastsound Mass 1:00 pm Sundays Lopez - Center Chuch Mass 10:30 pm Saturdays

3. Know your limits When using equipment in the vicinity of power lines, always maintain the limits of approach: keep at least 10 feet back. Electricity can arc and make contact if too close.

5. Shuffle or hop - don’t step If your vehicle makes contact with an energized line, remain inside until help arrives. If you must get out due to fire, jump out with your feet together. Then shuffle away, keeping both feet close together. Never contact the ground and your vehicle at the same time.

6. Call before you dig To avoid contacting underground power lines, before you dig, call 811.

7.

Don’t become a victim Always call 911 when someone is injured in an electrical accident. Do not touch the victim!

Please visit us at the County Fair to learn more about electrical safety — and call 376-3537 to invite us to speak to your classroom, civic club or community group.

Seattle Optometrist Helps LEGALLY BLIND to See! Just because you have macular degeneration (or other vision-limiting conditions) doesn’t always mean you must give up driving or reading.

A Seattle optometrist, Dr. Ross Cusic, is using miniaturized binoculars or telescopes to help people who have lost vision from macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy or other eye conditions.

“Our job is to figure out everything and anything possible to keep a person functioning,” says Dr. Cusic.

“Whether it’s driving, reading, TV, seeing faces, check writing, bingo or bridge. We work with whatever is on the person’s ‘wish list.’”

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

June 18, 2014.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE REGARDING THE ADOPTION OF UNIFORM AND INTERNATIONAL CODES AS BUILDING CODES; AMENDING SAN JUAN COUNTY CODE SECTIONS 15.04.050, 15.04.060, 15.04.090, REPEALING SJCC 15.04.070 AND ADDING A NEW SECTION TO CHAPTER 15.04 SJCC. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the San Juan County Council will conduct a public hearing for the purpose of receiving testimony on a proposed Ordinance Regarding the Adoption of Uniform and International Codes as Building Codes. The public hearing will be held at the Legislative Hearing Room, 55 Second Street, Friday Harbor, WA on Tuesday, July 1, 2014 beginning at 9:15 AM. The hearing may be continued from time to time and place to place as may be desired by the Council without additional written notice.

At the hearing, members of the public will be invited to speak and/or provide written statements regarding the proposed Ordinance. After the public testimony portion of the hearing has ended, the Council will deliberate and consider modifications to the Ordinance that are proposed by members of the public, county employees or the Council. The proposed Ordinance may then be adopted with or without modifications.

All persons wishing to be heard on this matter are encouraged to attend.

Written comments may be submitted in advance of the hearing by mail or at the hearing by delivery in person.

Please deliver 5 copies of all written comments to the Clerk of the San Juan County Council at 55 Second Street, Friday Harbor or mail to 350 Court Street #1, Friday Harbor, WA 98250. The Ordinance is filed at the Office of the County Council, 55 Second Street, Friday Harbor, WA and may be inspected and copies obtained at the Council offices during each business day between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Summary: The State of Washington cyclically adopts, with amendments, a comprehensive set of building codes as provided in RCW 19.27.

Enforcement and administration of these building codes by local jurisdictions is mandatory under State law.

The applicable RCW’s allow local ju-

risdictions to make amendments to the administrative provisions, found in Chapter 1 of the respective codes.

Review of the local SJC amendments has identified portions that would benefit from revision and are as follows: 1) Change ordinance to a general “as currently adopted” language rather than a specific reference to a certain code year.

2) Revise administrative portions of all codes so that there is a single governing code (IBC), rather than repetitive language for each adopted code.

3) Add items to the “work exempt from a permit” section.

4) Remove violation/enforcement language and refer to current code enforcement ordinance.

5) Determination and clarification of before/after date for “existing buildings” as it pertains to requirements for permits.

The Ordinance may also be viewed 24 hours a day at the County website at http://www.sanjuanco.com/Council/PendingOrdinances.aspx. A copy of the proposed Ordinance will be mailed without charge upon request.

For more information please contact the Clerk of the County Council at 360-370-7470 or John Geniuch, Building Official, 370-7568.
