Above: A baby long-eared myotis bat stranded on publisher Colleen Smith Armstrong’s deck last week.

There are few things as delicate as a bat’s ear. Thin, dark brown skin is stretched over fragile cartilage. In certain light, they are nearly translucent. The inside ridges look like a washboard for a doll’s house.

I know this because I nursed an injured baby bat back to health. I got a close look at the dainty, cavernous ears, miniature teeth and fuzzy body of our local long-eared myotis bat.

It had been a week of nocturnal activity. Two bats had perished in our overhead fan above the bed.

I’ll spare you the details on that.

The next night, I was startled by a fluffy ball careening across my bathroom floor. The bat’s movements were jerky; he pivoted on clawed feet, spreading his wings wide across the tiles.

I wrapped him in a towel and put him outside, hoping he’d fly off into the night. But the next morning, he was still there, nestled between the deck and the house siding.

Rep. Larsen takes decisive lead in primary

by SCOTT RASMUSSEN Journal editor

When push came to shove, it wasn’t even close.

Incumbent Rick Larsen, D-Everett, landed the lion’s share of votes in Washington state’s District 2 congressional primary, collecting 56.7 percent of 106,333 ballots cast in the three-way race. Independent candidate Mike Lapointe, challenging the six-term congressman for the second-consecutive election, came in a distant third, garnering 11.7 percent of votes cast, 12,417.

If the trend holds, Larsen, seeking a seventh-consecutive term in the U.S. House of Representatives, will square off in November against Republican Party challenger B.J. Guillot. The top two vote-getters advance to the Nov. 4 general election. Gulliot gathered 32.6 percent of ballots cast, a total of 34,688 votes, as of Thursday’s count of election results.

“Growing up in Arlington, I learned the values of community, service and commitment.

These same values guide my work today,” Larsen said in a post-election press release.

“That’s why I’m fighting to raise the federal

minimum wage, combat income inequality, create jobs in our community and fix our broken immigration system.”

On the eve of the primary, Lapointe drew the endorsement of the San Juan Democratic Party, an abrupt change in course for the group and its long-standing support for the District 2 incumbent. As reasons for breaking with the long-time part favorite, they cited Larsen’s failure to “adequately” address the negative impacts of the proposed coal export at Cherry Point and the expansion of navy jet-noise from the Whidbey Island-based fleet of Growlers.

According to Party Chairman David Dehlendorf, the primary results come as no surprise. “Larsen has strong support from the party on the mainland and, as an incumbent, has the all-important advantage of ‘name familiarity,’” Dehlendorf said.

“Mike’s not real well known, particularly on the mainland,” he said. “He’s fighting an uphill battle.”

The 2nd District encompasses the entirety of Island and San Juan counties, and portions of Skagit, Snohomish and Whatcom counties, mainly in areas west of Interstate 5.

In San Juan County, Lapointe and Guillot ran neck-and-neck. Lapointe garnered 22.5 percent of the local vote, 1,085, and Guillot collected 22 percent as of Thursday’s results, 1,058 votes. Roughly 50 more ballots remain to be counted before election results are certified on Aug. 19, according to the county Elections department.

The District 2 congressional election is the only contested race on the local primary ballot. In other local primary results, incumbent state 40th district Rep. Kristine Lytton, D-Anacortes, garnered 72 percent of ballots cast, 3,316, and opponent Daniel Miller of San Juan Island collected 28 percent, 1,302.

State Rep. Jeff Morris, D-Mount Vernon, drew 3,548 votes in an uncontested race and San Juan County Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord, also unopposed, drew 3,151 votes (the number of write-in votes are not totaled in local results).

As of Thursday, Aug. 7, voter-turnout for the primary in San Juan County totaled 40.6 percent, with 11,966 registered voters and 4,865 ballots counted. Primary results are expected to be updated Aug. 18.

Cali Bagby, I filled a dropper with water and tried to rehydrate him.

He eagerly opened his tiny mouth, gulping down drop after drop. The rows of tiny teeth and his miniscule pink tongue were incredible.

After transporting him to the branches of a nearby tree, at the recommendation of Wolf Hollow, we hoped for the best. Incredibly, he was gone the next day. I like to think he is patrolling the night sky near our house.

The experience brought up a lot of questions – and concerns.

Facebook comments ranged from “Install a bat house” to “Does a vampire live with you?” to “Contact the health department immediately; rabies are a concern.”

After talking with the county health department, it turns out I probably shouldn’t have been handling the bat, but the risk of rabies is low.

“If you find a bat that is not doing well and is around people, it could have rabies,” said County Environmental Health Specialist Gary Covington. “In the summer, we get maybe an average of one possible victim per month. It is generally from presumed exposure after finding a bat in sleeping quarters. But we’ve never had any people in San Juan County turn up with a positive rabies infection.”

Scooters may Fun-filled Orcas Island weekend be dangerous

Joanna Massey/ Staff photos

Islanders basked in the sun and devoured literature at the 58th Annual Orcas Island Library Fair held at the library grounds this past Saturday.

The fair is the library’s primary fundraiser for the year.

by LIZ TAYLOR

When my parents moved to an assisted living community in their late 70s, my mom lived in a special memory unit because she was severely disabled from Alzheimer’s. My dad lived in his own apartment down the hall and up one floor from her, and he visited daily.

My dad – deaf and nearly blind – hadn’t been able to fix much more than canned meals for years. Now they were eating nutritiously. Even better, they were with other people rather than sitting bored, isolated and alone in their long-time home every day. And my mom was getting the special care that people with dementia need. My dad’s eventual downfall (literally) began after he’d lived at the assisted living for a couple of years. On the spur of the moment, he bought an electric scooter to get around. It was easy to use and fun to drive, but he probably wouldn’t have died in a nursing home if he had just forced himself to continue the boring, tiring, muscle-using chore of walking.

He began riding to everything – the dining room, visiting my mom, shopping, even to the bathroom. His muscles turned to mush. It’s called “sarcopenia,” which means the severe withering of muscle and strength due to long periods of inactivity. It’s believed to cause 90 percent of the 300,000 hip fractures that occur each year among older people in this country. Three weeks after my mom’s death, my dad fell in the shower, his leg muscles so weak that no amount of rehab could get him back on his feet again. He moved to a nursing home solely because he needed two people to transfer him in and out of a wheelchair or bed.

What happened to my dad (and millions of older people like him) is an unintended consequence of allowing technology to make us lazy enough to disable us. While scooters can be lifelines for people who are truly disabled – so immobilized that they need real help getting out in the world – they can be disastrous for those who don’t need them, and plenty of people who ride them don’t need them, putting them at high risk of suffering the same loss of muscle that my dad did.

Medicare subsidizes scooters for people who, due to “medical necessity,” are unable to use a cane, walker or wheelchair. Costing $2,500 to $3,500 each, they’re free if you can get a doctor to prescribe one – but doctors, critics say, don’t understand the rules, nor do their patients who demand to have one. Federal authorities estimate that up to 80 percent of the scooters and power wheelchairs Medicare buys each year go to people who don’t meet the requirements.

The saying “Use it or lose it” is real. We put health warnings on cigarettes. Now, perhaps, we need to do the same for scooters: “This scooter may be dangerous to your health and independence.”

Orcas Tennis Triumphs!

It started as a motivation.

Taj Howe started playing tennis when he was 12 years old.

Tony, his father, spent many hours on the court with his athletic son teaching him tennis and sharing his love of the game.

As an exceptional student, musician, athlete, Taj’s other interests took center court. Fast forward five years, December 2013 (excellent tennis weather on Orcas!) Taj meets his new tennis coach Jill Dann, and they make a goal – play in the Lopez Open Tennis Tournament Aug. 1 to 3.

It would be Taj’s first tournament. The goals were fun competition and to do their personal best.

On the first day, they defeated all five teams, which earned them a spot in the semi-finals.

They won the semis handily, 7-5, 6-1, and made it to the finals.

On a hot August afternoon they won their first tournament together 7-5, 6-4. Taj played his personal best, and they won a very close match.

“Whether I’m competing in sailing, tennis or music, the most important thing is to give it your all and have fun,” Taj said.

That winning philosophy obviously paid off.

“Playing with Taj in the Lopez tournament was one of the most enjoyable competitive experiences I’ve ever had. Entering a tournament with a student is

Reporter’s notebook To the Expect the unexpected Editor:

T

he only thing better than seeing bears is talking about seeing bears.

Viewing such an animal and living to tell the tale is perhaps a throwback to the days when our ancestors roamed the earth living in true fear of these large predators. It was a time when being in the presence of such a beast and surviving the encounter meant that you could continue the health of our species.

I learned the lesson about the power of trading stories after publishing my own bear confession in the July 30 issue of the Sounder. I took the “story less written” approach and described my failure to secure a bear viewing in the wilds of Alaska. To my surprise the next week, everywhere I went, people wanted to share their own bear stories. One reader even came to the office to gift me a book of the creatures and a photo she took of a grizzly. Another reader, Ron Myers, informed me of his bear encounter while fishing in a stream in Alaska. The bear came down to the stream and started scooping up salmon with its paws and biting into them.

“He was a better fisherman than I was,” Ron recalled with a laugh.

The enthusiasm for Ursus arctos was magical and made even more otherworldly after I finally had an up-close-and-personal viewing of our four-legged friend two weeks ago.

Yes, after publicly lamenting about this absence in my life, I found myself looking into the eyes of a very healthy and furry black bear.

The day started with a steep 5.2- mile hike up Sourdough Mountain. There were signs at the trailhead identifying the area as bear country, but I thought,”How likely would it be for me to see a bear in the North Cascades and not in Alaska?”

After a grueling five-hour hike to the top, I enjoyed the explosion of snowy peaks and decided to make my way back down the trail in the hopes of catching the 9 p.m. ferry. After several miles I met up with another hiker and we started talking, as you do. When I noticed that he had bear spray I said, “Do you seriously think you’ll ever need that? It’s so unlikely you’ll see a bear here.”

“Yeah, but if I do see a bear, I’ll be glad I have it,” he responded.

Not 15 minutes later we walked around a bend, and there was a black bear less than 10 feet away. We stepped back, and it calmly strolled off trail into the brush and started chewing on leaves about 50 feet away. The bear couldn’t care less that we were so close. I, on the other hand, was cowering behind the hiker who now had the bear spray in a ready position. Luckily, we did not need to use it and after staring in awe of the bear for a good 20 minutes, we made our way safely to our cars.

No, I did not catch the ferry, but yes I purchased bear spray the following weekend.

Krebs for Sheriff My name is Ron Krebs. As your next Sheriff of San Juan County, there are a number of goals that I want to achieve. There are a number of issues that I believe directly affect the communities that we serve. My goals are as follows: To improve communicationby increasing and improving the accessibility and responsiveness of the Sheriff ’s Office to the community. We are public servants, and we are here to serve you the public first and foremost. Without your input and support we cannot properly do our jobs. Good communication is the key.

To address drug problems the primary mission of the Sheriff ’s Office of San Juan County is to provide a safe and secure environment for the residents and visitors through good department programs and community policing efforts. I will make drugs and the problems associated with them a high priority with the Sheriff ’s Office. Drugs are a problem that affects us all in one way or another.

To increase community involvement and compliance- I will take a more collaborative approach to law enforcement with better communication with the members of the community. My approach will be based on community involvement and compliance rather than a “by the book punitive approach” to law enforcement. Punitive enforcement should be a last resort, not the first.

To restore the morale of the department by good communication, leading by example, holding higher standards, and by being in the office consistently, I will restore the morale of the department. With consistent and fair accountability, I will hold all of the members of the department to the same high standards that I hold myself to and create a department we can all be proud of. This approach will allow us to retain quality employees as well as recruit new high quality employees.

To restore cooperation with first responders- Good communication and relationships with the other first responders of our commu-

nity, like Fire and EMS, are vital to protecting the community and its members. I will open up lines of communication with Fire, EMS, and the Prosecuting Attorney’s office to allow us to start working together again.

To provide training - domestic violence, DUI, and drug intervention are some of the areas for which the Sheriff ’s Office is sorely lacking in training.

The department has not been through Domestic Violence training in the last eight years, something that should occur a minimum of every two years. Domestic violence calls are the most dangerous calls that we as Deputies respond to on a daily basis. They have a higher probability of injury to both the Deputy as well as the those involved. Continual training is vital for the safety of everyone involved.

My main goal through all of the above is to put community – oriented policing at the forefront of the Sheriff ’s Office. We are a strong community, and together we can all make a difference. Together all of us are stronger than one of us.

Orcas not kayaker friendly?

We recently spent three wonderful days kayaking in the San Juans using our own kayaks. Leaving Jones Island we had the option of landing in Friday Harbor or Orcas Island near the ferry. Having started in Friday Harbor we thought Orcas Island deserved a visit. Upon arrival, we searched in vain for a pullout.

Our only choices, it seemed to us, was a log strewn beach and a long slog up a steep hill on a narrow road, or a very high, off the water (for a kayak) public dock.

Worse, there were small, dangerous to use emergency ladders – the only ones available. After a difficult (and dangerous) 10 minutes landing the kayaks we were presented with another problem.

BATS FROM 1 Low risk of rabies Rabies is a fatal viral disease that affects the nervous system. Any wild mammal, like a raccoon, skunk, fox, coyote, or bat can have the disease and transmit it to people through a bite.

The primary animals that carry rabies in the northwest are bats. Between five and 10 percent of bats submitted for testing are found to be rabid. Bats tested for rabies are more likely to test positive because they tend to be sick and injured. Less than 1 percent of all bats in the wild are infected with rabies.

Rabid bats have been found in almost every county in Washington, and in 2012, a total of nine rabid bats were identified in the state.

According to the Washington Department of Health, there have been two cases of human rabies in the state during the last 20 years.

There has never been a confirmed case in a human in San Juan County.

Bats’ teeth are tiny and leave marks that are not easily seen. So if you awaken and find a bat in your room, seek medical advice immediately. Treatment, which is a series of shots, has to be initiated within 10 days.

The health department can be reached at 378-4474.

Russel Barsh of Kwiáht, a nonprofit scientific organization on Lopez, says bats are very unlikely to bite unless they are handled roughly or they are already injured.

“They don’t bite for fun,” he said. “And they have very sharp teeth and strong jaws, like mice or rats. Imagine someone arguing that you can get bitten by a rat and not know it.”

If you see a bat in your home, confine it to a room by closing all doors and windows except those to the outside. The bat will most likely leave.

If it doesn’t, put leather gloves on, approach the bat cautiously, and when it lands, place a box or coffee can over it. Slide a piece of cardboard under the container to trap the animal

inside. Tape the cardboard to the container securely.

The health department also advises to not pick up or touch dead animals, as the virus could be in their saliva or nervous tissue.

If you are bitten, wash the area vigorously with soap and water and get medical advice immediately.

Wolf Hollow nurses bats at its facility on San Juan.

Local bats At least five species of tiny mouse-eared bats make the islands their home.

Mouse-eared bats look similar from a distance and use the same frequencies to navigate and target their prey, but they vary somewhat in body proportions and behavior. Two of our mouse-eared species are actually quite rare.

We also have several larger bats: Townsend’s bigeared, silver-haired, hoary, and big brown.

Bat species divide the night, hunting at different times and focusing on different kinds of insects.

Big browns are fond of beetles, for example, while Townsends love moths. Bats eavesdrop on insects’ own high frequency broadcasts to locate, identify and track them.

Barsh says the bat who made his way into my home was likely a baby: clumsy and just learning to get around and much more likely to get inside a house.

Bat houses Very little is known about the abundance of bats in the San Juan Islands. For this reason, Kwiáht has been researching and advocating for the species. It works closely with Wolf Hollow, following up on reports of bats inside homes.

“We have no funding for this, but it needs to be done,” Barsh said. “We can barely keep up with the number of requests we receive on Lopez, Orcas and San Juan for visiting homes to talk about bats inside walls, living in attics, roosting under eaves, or getting lost and stuck inside rooms.”

Kwiáht conducted a systematic survey (using an ultrasound recorder) of bats around Lopez over the past year and identified 10 species, including six mouseeared bats and four large bats. Kwiáht is currently surveying bat species on Orcas.

“We’ve recorded for 16 summer nights so far and plan a total of 22 nights, at 16 lakes, ponds, wetlands, and suspected maternity colonies,” Barsh said.

Kwiáht has also helped Moran State Park design and construct a demonstration “bat tower” for relocating a large maternity colony of rare long-eared myotis bats from the park manager’s office.

Bat boxes are great for home use too. Kwiáht staff has designed bat boxes that are larger, heavier, and warmer than anything you can find for sale online.

Kwiáht has installed bat houses on Lopez, Orcas and San Juan Island. For info on local bats, blueprints to build your own bat house, or to get on the waiting list for a Kwiáht-built house, email kwiaht@gmail.com.

Home assessments are free, and if a bat box is called for, Kwiáht shares up to 100 percent of the costs of construction and installation.

Cut in hours at Pop-up show at CV Shaw post office? Woodcut demonstration and exhibit

by SCOTT RASMUSSEN Journal editor

The U.S. Postal Service expects to save more than $500,000,000 a year by shutting down or cutting hours at about 13,000 post offices across the nation, mostly in rural locations.

Like on Shaw Island, where residents are not happy to find out they're part of the plan.

And, perhaps even less so to realize their input on options about servicereductions, requested by the Postal Service, proved to be a meaningless exercise.

Less than 24 hours after a pair of postal service employees attended a community meeting July 31 on Shaw, presumably to discuss results of the servicereduction survey, a notice appeared on a post office wall informing islanders that daily office hours would be reduced from eight to four.

“All they really had to say or could tell us was ‘We don't know,’ and that really ticked people off,” said Shaw Islanders, Inc. President Diana Wisen.

The Shaw Island post

Power outage Power will be off for all of Shaw, Canoe and Crane Islands from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 19 while OPALCO conducts maintenance and inspection work in the Shaw substation. Updates will be posted online at www.opalco.com.

For information about preparing for an outage, go to opalco.com.

office is not alone. Postal Service spokesman Ernie Swanson said daily hours at the Deer Harbor and Waldron offices have already been reduced to six and that the operating hours of Orcas Island’s Olga office is due to be reduced to four.

The postal service has lost “huge quantities” of revenue, Swanson said, in large part due to the growing reliance on digital communication and the steady decline of first-class mail.

Shaw residents have sought and enlisted the help of U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Bellingham, to advocate on their behalf. In an Aug. 7 letter to Post Master General Patrick Donaho, Larsen called on the Postal Service to classify the Shaw Island post office as a “PartTime Post Office,” a designation under which the office would be allowed to operate six hours a day.

See you at the county fair Youth Corps going strong

by RACHEL BISHOP AND JIM LITCH Special to the Sounder

As you wander around the fair this year, we encourage you to take a moment to appreciate the hard work of the Orcas 4-H Fur and Feather kids. You will find them almost everywhere across the fairgrounds.

In the small animal barn, kids will be showing (and racing) chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs. Say hi to the kids and their dogs in the dog tent next door. From there the sound of the large animals will lead you to the next barn. Martha Lum has a large Steer called Monty, and Tashi Litch is showing Heffy, the dairy cow.

There will be kids showing animals from Orcas Moon Alpacas and lots of sheep and goats. Any time of the day there will be Orcas kids in each of these barns, showing their animals to the judges, taking part in judging or quizzes, caring for the animals and ready to answer your questions.

Behind the show ring adjacent to the food court is

the 4-H barn. Take a wander round and marvel at the number of activities, photographs, woodwork and any number of crafts and foods.

You’ll be able to see how many ribbons the Orcas kids have won!

In order to qualify for the fair, kids have to complete many activities throughout the year. As elected officers at the monthly gathering, they have learned how to make an agenda, run a meeting and propose and vote on motions.

They have also have to do a demonstration in front of the group and the judges, and even the shyest have come far in speaking confidently in front of a group.

They have written articles for the paper. They have cooked, served and cleaned up monthly dinners at the senior center learning the importance and fun of community service. They have shown themselves the importance of committing to a project and following it through the year to its culmination at the fair.

The final event of the fair on Saturday morning is the

animal auction, a chance for the kids to auction some of their animals to the community. If you are looking for meat from gently raised animals, or a trio of chickens to start your own flock, or even a very special dozen eggs, please come and bid on them.

The following will be auctioning their animals at the fair: Anwyn Thompson – Grass-fed market lamb, dozen eggs Emma Thoron – Trio of market rabbits Kaj Litch – Dozen eggs Martha Lum – Grass-fed beef Miette Woolworth – Grass-fed market lamb Nisha Woolworth – Trio of barred rock-laying hens, dozen eggs Rachel Lum – Market goat Tashi Litch – Trio of Rhode Island Red Laying hens It takes an island to raise a child, and our thanks go out to this island for your support of 4H. To you all, thank you. See you at the fair!

Words such as pulaski, weed-wrench and pick-mattock, noxious and invasive weeds, habitat protection and restoration have become common vocabulary this summer for the hard-working, fun-loving members of the Orcas Island Youth Conservation Corps. Pulling Scotch broom and cutting blackberry, caring for restoration plantings and doing major trail restoration have become part of the skill set of the crew, along with teamwork and persevering through challenging conditions.

Established in 2013, the OIYCC is patterned after successful programs on Lopez and San Juan. Although each program operates and is funded separately, the three programs share the goal of involving young people in a variety of projects that emphasize service on public lands, team building, environmental education, and caring for the natural environment.

This summer, its second season, OIYCC will work a total of 16 days, involving 20 young people ages 12 to 15 years old. They will complete projects on 12 different sites, working for, and under the direction of a dozen different agencies and property owners. This work will total up to well over 1,200 hours of community service this season and include projects such as removing blackberry for the land bank on the Garry Oak restoration project, defining trails on the ecologically sensitive small islands of the San Juan Islands National Monument, and restoring the primitive area campground for hikers and bikers at Moran State Park.

This past week, the crew was joined by members of the Washington Trails Association for a two-day work party at Mountain Lake.

Funding for OIYCC’s work has come from an Orcas Island Community Foundation grant and a county lodging tax grant, as well as several cooperating agencies and private donations. To support this program, donate through the Madrona Foundation website.

Sea Star Wasting Syndrome update The latest sea star survey by the Indian Island Marine Health Observatory on Aug. 10 found that incidents of Sea Star Wasting Syndrome had declined by about half since mid-July to 19 percent.

“In other words, a little more than four-fifths of the

ochre stars at Indian Island appear to be healthy, and this number includes many smaller, younger sea stars,” said Russel Barsh, Kwiaht director.

The total number of sea stars visible in the inter-tidal zone have also decreased.

Alaska to Mexico and are being studied by various teams, including about 40 biologists from many west coast universities and all the major aquariums.

“We have evidence that an infectious agent is involved, but it is too soon to say yet whether it is a virus or a bacterium,” said Drew Harvell, a marine epidemiologist at Cornell University who is studying sea stars on the island.

According to Barsh many sea stars have retreated to deeper, cooler water, and

those that remain around Indian Island are mostly hidden in crevices or under boulders out of direct sunlight.

The next sea star census will be taken in November when there are low evening tides. Interested members of the community may want to mark their calendars for Friday, Sept. 5, 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at Orcas Island Library, for back-to-back research reports on Sea Star Wasting at Indian Island and the Crescent Beach Sand Dollar study.

Summer music lineup

Music on the Green The parks department has been the sponsors of Music in the Park for all 15 years. All concerts are free.

• Aug. 17, CCM and Crow Valley String Band at 5 p.m.

Orcas Island musicians Cali Bagby, Carl Burger, and Marc Cohen have joined forces to form the vocal trio CCM. The group is rooted in traditional American folk music but offers an eclectic mixture of musical genres including ballads, blues, country, jazz, rock, and the music of contemporary singer-songwriters. Blending three part harmonies with guitar (both 6- and 12-string), bass, and ukulele, CCM offers both original tunes as well as their own interpretations of the work of master musicians.

The Crow Valley String Band is a family band of four musicians, Rachel Bishop, Jim Litch, Tashi and Kaj, which have been performing together for several years.

Tashi and Kaj also have been performing in their own band, Brother for Sale!, since 2009. Originating from the British Isles, their music is grounded in the family’s Celtic, Scandinavian and European roots.

Varying combinations of fiddles, mandolin, guitar, and upright bass combine with family-woven vocal harmonies to fire up and deliver lively traditional music from the Bluegrass, Old Time, Celtic, Acadia and Folk traditions.

Also on that day, there will be a Lion’s Club Day of Celebration from 3 to 5 p.m., pulled pork sandwiches and a beer garden from 3 to 7 p.m. Money from the beer garden will help support the scholarship fund.

• Aug. 24, Dylan Cragle and Alli Carter at 5 p.m.

Cragle is an 18-year-old singer/songwriter from Puyallup, Wash. He sings pop, country, adult contemporary and musical theater.

He has been singing all over Washington state since he was 10 years old and traveled to Nashville to record his original songs.

Carter is a 13-year-old singer/songwriter. “I sing, act, am learning guitar and piano, and I write my own songs,” she said on her Facebook page.

•The Emmanuel Episcopal Parish Brown Bag Concert season ends on August 20, 12 p.m. with musician extraordinaire Martin Lund. Appearing with Lund is The Almost Classical Trio, Lisa Carter, Emy Carter, and Paris Wilson. Lund is a versatile composer, arranger, and musician who plays several instruments and is regularly featured in productions at the Orcas Center. Almost Classical received superior ratings at Northwest Washington music concerts and recently won the island wide Orcas Has Talent show.

Lund loves to surprise his audiences and has a wonderful performance planned.

This is a popular concert with limited seating so plan to arrive before noon.

Bring your friends, neighbors, guests and brown bag lunch to enjoy after the concert in the church gardens.

San Juan County was just selected to advance to the quarterfinalist round of the Georgetown University Energy Prize, a $5 million incentive competition to reduce energy consumption. San Juan County is among a very select group of only 52 small- and medium-sized cities and counties from across the country that have advanced to the Quarterfinalist round of the competition.

“We are truly off to an excellent start,” said San Juan County Councilman Bob Jarman.

Jarman is a member of the newly established Energy Leadership Team that includes leaders from the county, Town of Friday Harbor, San Juan Islands Conservation District, OPALCO, school districts, ports, industry and community organizations. The San Juan County Energy Plan, a key component of the competition, is being developed with the Energy Leadership Team and Islands Energy.

The plan will be county-wide and encompass municipal buildings and operations, school facilities and residential energy use. The goals are to significantly reduce energy use, promote renewable energy and keep electricity costs low for islanders. This effort is facilitated by the San Juan Islands Conservation District and sponsored by OPALCO.

WWW.ISLANDSSOUNDER.COM Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

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
