Debut of new vessel removal program by SCOTT RASMUSSEN
Orcas middle schoolers learn to build kayak trailers
Journal editor
A new twist to a long-standing state pollution prevention program made a hearty debut last week on the waterfront of Friday Harbor. By all accounts, it proved a smashing success. Ken Norris wasn’t going to stick around to witness the lift-off from start to finish because the derelict vessel removal program’s newest feature, the “turn-in” option, signaled a bittersweet goodbye. “It’s a mixed blessing to have the state take care of it for me,” Norris said of the fate of the 28-foot wooden boat that for the better part of 20 years had been homesweet-home and the embodiment of a cherished dream. His means to maintain the boat slipped away in the fallout from a severe leg injury several years ago and, ultimately, orders by his doctor to abandon ship. Managed by the Washington Department of Natural Resources,

Cathy Ellis loves riding her bike and kayaking. Now thanks to three young islanders she can combine two of her passions. Middle Schoolers Tashi Litch, Kajeton Bullock and Henry Miller spent three months building kayak trailers that attach to bicycles. Their labors are all part of an applied physics course taught by Brett McFarland. “For people that live in Eastsound, it’s a great way to get their kayaks to the water,” said McFarland who teaches the course as part of the OASIS program at the Orcas Island School District. Every Wednesday morning for three hours, the three youths learn various physics topics and literally build things based on those ideas. “We have been looking into strength of materials, as well as strength of different types of glue joints with wood, and these have led us to building bike kayak trailers,” said McFarland. The kids spent their mornings testing and

Sheriff, county put an end to ICE ‘holds’ by SCOTT RASMUSSEN Journal editor
On the heels of recent rulings in federal court, San Juan County and its Sheriff ’s Department are joining a rapidly expanding list of cities and counties that limit how far they will go in rounding up those suspected of being in the U.S. illegally. As of May 23, the San Juan County Sheriff ’s Department ended its long-standing policy of honoring what is now viewed as a request by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, that anyone taken into custody, and who is suspected of being in the country illegally, be detained for up to 48 hours, long enough for immigration enforcement agents
to presumably pick them up. “It means that once we’re done with them on the local level, they’re free to go,” Sheriff Rob Nou said of the change in policy. The County Council is prepared to solidify that change in the sheriff ’s department policy by crafting it into a binding resolution, which is expected to be approved at the June 17 council meeting. At the June 3 council meeting, Nou said that in a recent court decision involving a case out of Clackamas County, Ore., a federal judge ruled Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s controversial I-247 Detainer, commonly known as an ICE hold, functions more like a “request,” rather than an “order,” and local law enforcement officials are not
legally bound to abide by it. Nou said the judge also determined that an ICE hold does not constitute “probable cause,” the standard by which an officer can legally make an arrest, conduct a search or detain someone. In the Clackamas County case, U.S. Magistrate Judge Janice Stewart ruled that the rights of a Portland-area woman, arrested for violating a domestic violence restraining order, were violated because of prolonged detention in jail. Following the arrest, the woman’s fingerprints were shared with an ICE database, which revealed she was in the county illegally, and ICE asked that the jail place a 48-hour hold on her. County Manager Mike Thomas said the risk of the county find-
ing itself in a lawsuit, presumably the wrong end, would increase if someone is detained without probable cause. The rulings in federal court have unleashed a wave of recent policy changes for local law enforcement agencies, for cities and counties, and for Oregon and Washington state in particular. As many as 30 counties in Oregon and 11 in Washington state, including King, Skagit and Whatcom, no longer honor ICE holds. In response to a Journal/ Sounder inquiry, ICE Public Affairs Officer Andrew Munoz responded by email: “When law enforcement agencies remand criminals to ICE custody rather

New psychotherapy practice MAG purchases xylophone
Michael Elder, a licensed marriage and family therapist, has opened an office in Eastsound Square, upstairs behind Mia’s Café. He and his wife Linda moved to the island in early April after 10 years of plan-
ning and preparation. Their new home is currently under construction in the Doe Bay neighborhood. Elder, pictured left, comes as a “Certified Trauma Specialist” with specific training and experience working with first responders as well as active service members and veterans. He returns to the Pacific Northwest after moving from Oregon to the San Francisco Bay area to pursue his education and training. There he earned a masters in counseling psychology at JFK University in 1992 and a marriage and family therapist license in 1998. Elder bills his practice as “brief, targeted psy-
chotherapy.” He begins with two questions for his clients: “Is there a memory or event from your past that continues to affect your life in non-productive ways?” and “What do you do in your life that you would like to do more of or less of?” By offering methods that resolve past memories and gently shift current behavior without having to discuss the painful past, he hopes to make help available to a broader community. Elder can be reached by phone at 376-3255 ext.2, by email at michaelelderMFT@gmail.com or visit his website at www. michaeleldermft.com.

in partnership with local government entities, like counties, cities and publicly owned port districts, the Derelict Vessel Removal Program has had its own share of ups and downs since it was first founded in 2002. In San Juan County, the program collapsed when budget-wary county officials opted against setting aside $10,000 or so – the local “match” required by DNR for removal and demolition costs – in the wake of the economic recession. Under the program, the state, through DNR, covers 90 percent of the cost associated with removal, transport, demolition and disposal of boats, docks and floats that have fallen into disrepair and that have either been abandoned or are in imminent threat of sinking. Then, about three years

The couple restored their 1912 craftsman home on Orcas, they refurbish vintage travel trailers for rent on the island and now the two have overhauled the concession stand and boat rental at Moran State Park next to Cascade Lake. Their entire operation is called “Orcas Adventures,” although locals have dubbed the concession stand the “sugar shack.” “We’ve freshened the interior of the 1936 historical building to make it a brighter, bolder happier place,” Fiona said. She’s serving up 12 flavors of Lopez Island Creamery Ice Cream, Batdorf and Bronson Coffee, Cliff bars, Erin Baker’s natural breakfast cookies, bottled water and Trio bars. “For those at the lake for the day, you needn’t go hungry – we have hot dogs made in Washington, kettle chips, toasted bagels with cream cheese and brown

the rider gets too close to a fence. “And I built it alone,” added Henry. McFarland said promoting their works is all part of the fun and exploration in the class. After carefully examining each device, Cathy told the boys, “they are both beautiful and interesting.” For Ellis, the bike trailers signify one less car on the road and a lot more joy for her personally. In the end she chose the trailer built by Tashi and Kajeton. “It’s just so fun carrying my own kayak,” said Ellis after mounting her bike with the new trailer and kayak in tow.

maintain them. Forlenza intends to make sure that the San Juans get their share, and local businesses have a chance to benefit before the funding set aside by the state dries up. He noted that the cost to demolish, and dispose of Norris’ 1969 Owens-built boat proved less expensive by having it done by local contractors than by a large regional company. The legislature allocated $4.5 million for the derelict vessel program as part of the 2013-15 state budget, of which roughly $200,000 is earmarked for the turn-in program. That translates into $100,000 a year to cover the cost of the voluntary program, noted Manager Tammy Robbins. Robbins said DNR has received about a dozen applications since it went live on May 1. The bill to tow, demolish and dispose of the average boat is about $9,000, she said. “We’re trying to find the best value for the money,” she said. “Hopefully as we get going we can do ‘batch’ removals to consolidate costs.”

So far they have built two trailers, but they plan to enlarge their business if there is a demand. The frames are built from red cedar and weigh between 17 and 23 pounds. “Ours has a single person unloading design,” said Tashi trying to persuade Ellis to take his trailer – he built with Kajeton – for a spin.

ago, San Juan Island’s Marc Forlenza, the thencommander of the Friday Harbor Power Squadron, raised $6,500 as part of the matching fund, which former local program coordinator and Public Works employee Joanruth Baumann used to persuade the county to chip in $5,000, to convince DNR to resume the program. Since then, the program has been flourishing. With Forlenza now at the helm, and a $325,000 grant from Puget Sound Partnership, it has become a model for the state. Forlenza also works with other communities to help shore up and keep their own programs afloat and adequately funded. Still, the “Turn In Option” adds a new wrinkle and incentive to the program. It’s designed to take boats of 45 feet or less, which have fallen into disrepair, off the hands of Washington residents who lack the financial resources to repair and

Orcas Islander Dixie Morrison led a team called “Hope and Healing,” whose members provided crew duties in the Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk on June 14 and 15 in Seattle. Sponsored by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the walk is held twice a year in a different city. It started at dusk , ended at dawn and covered 17 miles. “It was a great turnout – over 800 walkers participated,” Morrison said. “Collectively
we raised $1.2 million dollars for research, education programs and advocacy initiatives about mental illnesses and suicide.” Morrison and the team – her mom Judy Smith and her friend Kim Kern – provided water, Gatorade and snacks to the walkers. Smith lives in Kent, Wash., and Kern resides on Orcas Island. At 5 a.m. on June 15, everyone gathered for the closing ceremony. Among the hundreds of luminaria, Morrison found the one she made for her brother and father, both of whom she had lost to suicide. “I discovered that there are several community walks in our state, and we plan on walking in one or more of them ... I would like to see about having one on Orcas,” Morrison said.

To the Editor:
The fun of fireworks
Thank you for sparing the daisies
T
hey’re sparkly and patriotic and symbolic. They are also dangerous. We would like to remind everyone that personal fireworks are not allowed anywhere in our beautiful county. The use of any type of personal fireworks presents a very real danger of injury and fire. “‘Safe and Sane’ fireworks sold on the mainland are intended to be used in the communities where they are purchased,” says San Juan County Fire Marshal Steve Marler. “Many of the fireworks sold on reservations are not legal anywhere in the state other than on Native American lands.” There will be some amazing fireworks shows presented by professional pyrotechnicians throughout San Juan County. Fireworks shows are planned at Roche Harbor, Friday Harbor, Eastsound, Deer Harbor and – the biggest one of all – on Lopez Island. Residents and visitors alike enjoy these shows. Speaking of the professional shows, the Orcas Chamber is in need of donations to help fund its fireworks display on July 4 over the waters of East Sound. “The Chamber believes the annual pyrotechnics show is an invaluable event that brings visitors to the island and delights hundreds of locals,” says Director Lance Evans. “And for the second consecutive year we are pleased to be working with Western Display Fireworks, one of the Northwest’s finest companies in the business.” The cost of putting on a fireworks show has increased over the years. With stricter marine and Homeland Security regulations and with a barge rental charge, the chamber can no longer absorb the $14,000 price tag into its normal operations budget. There are several sponsorship levels: gold ($500-plus), silver ($250plus) and bronze ($100-plus). With a sponsorship, your name is included in an Islands’ Sounder thank you ad, the chamber blast, an annual meeting announcement and the Facebook and other social media posts as well as recognition at July 5 Community Parade. To donate call 376-2273 or email info@orcasislandchamber.com. Donations can also be mailed to the Chamber of Commerce (PO Box 252, Eastsound) or dropped off at 65 North Beach Road. In addition, The Orcas Island Community Foundation has a fund for donations. Send in a check made payable to OICF, PO Box 1496, Eastsound, WA 98245, or donate at www.oicf.us. Note “Fireworks Fund” with your donation. “We value every dollar received, even if you can’t join our sponsorship levels,” Evans said. So even if you have $10 or $20 to spare, it will go a long way to helping us keep this Orcas Island tradition alive. And when we have a beautiful show to watch, who needs illegal fireworks?

In the first letter I’ve ever written to a newspaper, I’d like to publicly express heartfelt thanks to the man who mowed the grass at the edges of the road from Eastsound to Rosario for sparing the parts with daisies on them and not cutting them! I was delighted to catch him and ask him before he cut those sections and even more delighted when I saw that he actually left them standing! They are especially charming this year and brighten my daily trips to town and back. He was so thoughtful and gracious to me, and I appreciated what he did, or didn’t do, so very much. What a wonderful gift. Thank you so much! Heidi J. Lindberg Eastsound

Annual Lions Club Salmon BBQ, on Saturday, July 5 at the Eastsound Fire Station. Although Nancy and I have lived here for only three and a half years and I have been a Lions Club members for two and a half years, I continue to be amazed by the amount accomplished by this organization. Other fundraisers include renting tents, tables, and chairs, and the annual “Run for the Grub.” Service events include the annual Easter egg hunt, the quarterly blood drive, the health screening van, holiday fruit baskets, eyeglass and hearing aid programs, and the mobility equipment program at the Senior Center, which loans equipment to anyone on the island needing it. Most of these services are provided at low or no cost to the community due to the many hours of service provided by Lions Club members. My first introduction to the local Lions Club was at the annual Salmon BBQ in July 2011. As new residents we were made to feel welcome and enjoyed a wonderful meal among members of this wonderful community. This year’s Salmon BBQ is on Saturday, July 5 beginning after the parade at 1 p.m. and lasting until 7 p.m. Barbecued chicken is
also offered and take-out is available. There is a raffle with great prizes donated by local businesses, and the Eastsound firehouse is a wonderful venue for such a nice community event. Tickets can be purchased ahead of time on Friday afternoons at the Island Market, Saturdays at the Farmers’ Market, during the parade and at the actual event. Please consider making this part of your July 4th weekend plans. Steve Schaefer Orcas Island Lions Club

Reading the Sheriff ’s Log was a regular reminder that each of us is not just an individual but also a part of our community. Each of us is accountable for our actions because what we do, good or bad, affects not just ourselves, but all of us. We wish there were some way to bring the Sherrif ’s Log back.

Fire Chief’s report by KEVIN O’BRIEN Orcas Fire Chief
Orcas Fire and Rescue responded to the following notable alarms. Personnel were dispatched to the Deer Point neighborhood on May 1 to conduct a search for an adult male missing overnight. He was found approximately 1,000 feet away from his home. The patient was treated for traumatic injuries and exposure. He was transported in stable condition to Eastsound Airport and transferred to Airlift Northwest for a flight to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bellingham. On May 4, an adult male suffered injuries from a 20-foot fall from a roof. The patient was treated and transported in stable condition to Eastsound Airport and transferred to Airlift Northwest for a flight to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bellingham. Multiple OIRF units responded to a rollover accident on Buck Mountain involving one vehicle on May 9. The driver was treated for possible traumatic injuries and transported in stable condition to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bellingham. In conjunction with the San Juan County Sheriff and Fire Marshal, OIFR conducted an investigation of a small fire at Orcas High
School on May 13. The fire involvement was a small scorching on an exterior window of the building, which appeared to be not accidental and was extinguished prior to arrival of firefighters. Damage was judged to be approximately $100; the investigation remains open. Firefighters responded to a vehicle fire in the Schaeffer Stretch neighborhood on May 14. The fire was quickly extinguished with minimal damage. Personnel responded to a ferry docked at Orcas landing for a report of a 12-yearold child experiencing a severe allergic reaction on May 23. The patient was treated, stabilized, and was able to continue travel to Anacortes with her family. An adult male lost consciousness in the Deer Harbor neighborhood on May 24. The patient was treated and was able to stay on the island with a subsequent follow-up from his physician. OIFR assisted the San Juan County Sherriff ’s Department in a late night search for two missing people in Moran State Park. The missing hikers were reported to be separated from their group on the Cascade Lake. Responders searched over five hours and the people were found in good medical condition near mid-way camp.

noted that ICE has re-calibrated its use of “detainer holds” in light of the recent court rulings. “… ICE issued new detainer guidance limiting the use of detainers to individuals who meet the agency’s enforcement priorities and restricting the use of detainers against those arrested for minor misdemeanor offenses such as traffic violations and other petty crimes,” he added. The request for a detainer-hold by local law enforcement is just one of various policing tools that ICE wields in its enforcement of U.S. immigration

laws. Dozens of islanders have also been detained and many deported since the U.S. Border Patrol began ramping-up the use of its so-called “citizenship spotchecks” at the Anacortes ferry terminal several years ago. Nou recalls that the manner in which the sheriff department interacts or cooperates with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as well as with the federal “Secure Communities” initiative, was a hot-button issue with islanders during the sheriff ’s campaign four years ago.

Nou said that once release conditions are satisfied following an arrest, such as posting bail, an individual in custody would be free to go, unless they are the subject of a valid warrant from another law enforcement agency. Still, he doesn’t anticipate that the change in policy will have much impact on the department’s day-to-day operations. Nou said the department has not used an ICE detainer on anyone taken in custody in recent years. “Operationally, I don’t see the change having any real impact,” he said.

Top: The Mustang today in the U.K with Edwards (second from left) and his friends. Left: The car on Orcas Island years ago.
by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher
Harvey traveled thousands of miles to find his forever home and now his new family wants to know a little more about his story. Darren Edwards bought his classic car, a “Springtime yellow” 1965 Mustang that he named Harvey, from an importer in the United Kingdom, where he lives. But he knows the vehicle originally came from Orcas Island, where it was stored in a garage for many years. When a dealer in Seattle purchased the car in 2003, it only had 33,000 miles. “The car hadn’t been driven a lot and must have been greatly cared for as it is very original with an excellent rust-free body,” Edwards said.
The Mustang was later imported to the U.K., and Edwards purchased the car in 2011. It now resides in Heath Hayes, Staffordshire, England. “We would love to find out anything about its history such as where it ‘lived’ on Orcas, any family memories, maybe the dealership it was originally bought from,” Edwards said. “And to find a photo of it with its original family maybe in the 1960s would be pretty mind-blowing.” The person who imported the car to the U.K. told Edwards that after the original owner died, the family kept it in a garage for more than 20 years. This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the mustang, and Harvey rolled off the production line on June 14, 1965. If anyone knows the origins of the Mustang, contact Edwards at dm_edwards@ hotmail.com. “My wife and I holiday in the United States quite frequently, so to visit the stunning Orcas Island, and perhaps where the car was originally from, would be quite something,” Edwards said.

Scotch Broom: what to do by GWEN STAMM
WSU Master Gardener
Scotch broom is an invasive, many-branched shrub with green stems and bright yellow flowers, blooming from April to June. It is classified as a Class B noxious weed in Washington State, and control is required because it is a serious fire hazard and is crowding out native and beneficial plants, causing loss of grasslands and degrading open space. Seeds are toxic to livestock and horses and can remain viable up to 80 years. Now is a good time to remove scotch broom – before the pods mature to produce additional seeds. It is easily identified by its 5-angled stems, small deciduous leaves and the
bright yellow flowers. There are several approaches for removal of scotch broom. • Pull it out. For large brooms, you can borrow a Weed Wrench from the Noxious Weed Control Program at the Orcas Senior Center, the Land Bank office on San Juan or Public Works on Lopez. • Cut it back to the ground each year. It is important to act before the small pods
mature, in late June. Cutting mature plants greater than 1 inch at the base has been shown to be the best. • Monitor for seedlings each spring and pull them up, roots and all, while they are small, and the ground is still moist. Soil that is contaminated with Scotch Broom seeds should not be transported, and moving shrubs with mature seeds may cause further spread. Re-vegetation with competitive native trees and shrubs and native grass mixes can help prevent new infestations. Cut or pulled broom without mature seeds can be left to decompose, or it can be chipped or burned if permissible. Transfer stations do accept broom but may charge a fee.

Lori Wilson, East Asian Medicine Practitioner, Licensed Acupuncturist, is providing services at Soaring Crane Healing, 365 No Beach Road #103 . East Asian Medicine, traditionally acupuncture and Chinese herbs, treats the root cause of an illness, not just the symptoms. It is widely known that it is effective for most painful conditions, especially back, knees, and neck pain, but it is a complete system of medicine that has evolved over thousands of years. The most common conditions I treat are migraines, menopausal and other women's health issues, emotional trauma, stress, allergies, insomnia, as well as addictions, but it is effective for most ailments Acupuncture works!

very garden can tell a story of the hands that have tended each flower bed, of the eye carefully blending colorful bushes and leafy trees. Gardens tell a story of time, marking each year by their growth. “I remember when these were just this high,” said Patty Titus, pointing to a shrub and raising her hand only several inches from the earth. Titus has been a gardener for Margie and Dan Carper for the last eight years. “It’s been fun to watch it grow,” she said. And grow it has to a magical garden on a bluff overlooking Eastsound. Elaborate rock work by Peter Giampietro leads to a charming pond with a stone bridge. Surrounding the Tudor-style home are cottage-garden perennials and ornamental trees, shrubs and grasses. And this is just one of six properties featured in this year’s tour. The Annual Garden Tour is Saturday and Sunday, June 28 and 29, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The self-guided tour draws visi-
tors from all around the world to check out island backyards. This year’s tour theme is “garden rooms.” Tickets are at brownpapertickets.com, or at Darvill’s Bookstore, Crow Valley Pottery, Driftwood Nursery and Smith and Speed’s.
Salish-Seaside Escapes
At Salish-Seaside Escapes the motto is to make the gardens, natural plants and cottages all blend naturally together. “We work with what we’ve got,” said Manager Thane Sweet. “To make it as natural as possible,” echoed Assistant Manager Misty Cruz. The Sweet family has owned the property for 21 years, but has expanded their property in recent years. Much of the architecture and hardscape is designed by renowned San Diego artist James Hubbell. Paths wind under tall trees and through shade gardens to arrive at cottages that seem to grow out of the woods. Many of the buildings have unique garden roofs that spring outward like elegant green hair. The “Oyster Garth” is a meditative garden inspired by
medieval monasteries. Pathways wind up and down the hillside, past cedars, a giant sequoia, hostas, rhodie, ferns and curving rock walls.
Maier Garden
Lisa and Steve Maier have transformed a plot of land into a garden of vintage beauty and numerous curiosities. Old plates and pan lids hang on fence posts, the seven dwarfs hide behind a shrub, vintage paintings hang on the walls of the covered porch and stepping stones are embedded with keys, silverware, buttons and dog tags. The house and outer buildings are painted in bright blues, greens and pinks. “We love colors,” said Lisa. Their home was finished in 1999 and over the last 13 years they have worked on their yard bit by bit. “I would buy something at a yard sale and then design around it,” said Lisa. Other pieces in the garden are older treasures with a story. For instance, in one corner of the lawn rests an old wrought-
iron bed frame that belonged to Lisa’s grandfather and is now a bed to numerous green and perky plants. There is also a rowboat and bicycle that serve as unique flower beds. During the summer Lisa and Steve can be found most days in their yard tending to flowers and potted plants. The garden is sectioned off into three parcels making three “rooms.” “We wanted to make little spaces so there are things you don’t see right away,” said Lisa. “We’re continuing to grown plants to separate the spaces even more.”
More gardens Other gardens on the tour include Anne and Richard Griot’s Bayhead Farm garden, which has a pavilion designed and built by shipwright Chris Smart with a roof of succulent plants. There are also numerous raised beds bursting with the color of dahlia, roses, delphinium, peonies and zinnias. The Red Rabbit Farm has 15 acres of

Despite her penchant for easy-to-grow herbs, Orchid has exquisite delphiniums on her property that are worthy of viewing. The view from the barn where she feeds 40 guests at Sunday summer suppers is a series of vistas, including pasture, pond, an obelisk and a fine view of Westsound. Trina and Odie Olson’s garden is a simple but elegant design. There are three ponds that cascade down a sloping grassy hillside towards Westsound. The grounds also feature maintained beds of rhodies, heathers and hellebores. To the rear of the house, Odie keeps a greenhouse and vegetable garden.

Four canines and a feline are contending for Honorary Mayor of Eastsound this year. Cat Luna has consistently held second place despite making only one public appearance. “Clearly, she’s toying with the others,” says campaign manager Annette Deon. “We expect her to pounce on a victory.” The mayoral race is an annual fundraiser sponsored by and benefiting
Children’s House. Voting is open to those who “buy” candidates into office by placing votes at area polling locations, the Farmer’s Market or online via oich. org. The race concludes on July 5. Candidate: Luna Sponsor: Studio Deon/ HairStream Manager: Annette Deon Top Issues: Quality downtime and extended lap times Favorite quote: “Dogs have owners; cats have staff.” Cat Scoop: With obvious independent leanings, Luna is the only feline in the race. Born and raised on Orcas, she says understands the challenges facing islanders and believes quality downtime allows for greater appreciation of each other.

Kids enjoy instrument zoo Orcas Center gala
The last musical event of the school year took place on June 18 when all the 4th graders from Orcas Elementary School tried
out new instruments at the affectionately named “instrument zoo.” Four musical stations were set up for brass,
woodwinds, percussion and strings, and approximately 28 children tested out a flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, euphonium, drums, xylophone, violin, and cello. All the children had an opportunity to test each instrument and indicate their favorite choice to play next year in 5th grade band or strings. Mentors from the community, older students in band and strings, as well as teachers Pamela Wright and Darren Dix coached the students on playing the instruments.
Community news briefs Faun Fables at Random Howse Faun Fables will play on Friday, June 27 at 7 p.m. at Random Howse. The cost is $8 at the door. All ages are welcome. The group covers 20th century compositions by other song writers and traditional folk songs.

The Key to Prevention
W
hen domestic violence is in the news, it’s usually after the worst has happened: a violent assault, an injured child, a murder. So it’s no surprise that when we think about domestic violence interventions we think about police, courts, and hospitals. But what about the role each of us can play? Many of us have either experienced abuse in our own relationships or know someone who has. And often we don’t know what to do about it. Fortunately, in this community, and in every community across Washington State, there is a local domestic violence program: a place where anyone can call—privately and at no cost—to talk with someone about concerns, options, and safety. You don’t have to be the person experiencing abuse to call. Advocates are there to talk with friends and family, neighbors and c ow o r k e r s — a ny o n e — about how to be supportive if someone turns to you for help. But what if we didn’t have to wait until things were awful to intervene? What if we could stop this violence before it started? Domestic violence is preventable and talking with people of all ages about relationships is a key part of prevention. No one is too young or too old to think about what a healthy relationship looks and feels like. It’s never too early, and it’s never too late, to talk about how we deserve to be treated. Conversations build expectations, and talking with our loved ones lets us in on what they’re going through. Imagine how much easier it would be for our friends to turn to us for help if talking about our relationships was something we already did. To find the domestic violence program in your community, visit wscadv. org or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or 1-800787-3224 (TTY). To raise money and awareness for domestic violence prevention, register today for the Refuse To Abuse® 5K at Safeco Field at refusetoabuse5k.org.

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
