Sounder/Journal/WNT staff report

Orcas man charged with molestation A man who turned himself into police late last month was charged with first-degree child molestation this week, according to documents on file in Island County Superior Court.

Michael Walker Hurley Sr., 65, of Orcas Island, allegedly admitted to Oak Harbor police that he inappropriately touched more than one child, and that at least one incident occurred on Whidbey Island, according to court documents.

Arraignment for Hurley is not yet set, according to the clerk’s office.

Hurley’s son and three other men, all who said they are pastors in Washington state, accompanied Hurley to the police department, said court documents.

Hurley allegedly admitted his actions to his son, and the other men and said, “This has been going on for about a year; he needed some help, and he was having a difficult time controlling himself,” according to court documents.

One of the alleged victims told her relatives that Hurley kissed her a lot and told her she would go to jail if she told anyone about it.

Hurley also allegedly admitted to touching more than one child “on their privates,” court documents said.

An escapee from work crew had the San Juan Islands’ police scanners buzzing for several hours on Aug. 12.

A 22-year-old Orcas Island man fled his work crew on Aug. 12 around 2 p.m. on Friday Harbor.

Work Crew is an alternative sentencing program designed to reduce jail overcrowding by providing minimum risk offenders a work option to meet court obligations to include: fines, program fees, community service, and jail sentences.

The 22-year-old was initially arrested on an outstanding warrant and resisting arrest.

According to Undersheriff

Bruce Distler, the man was left alone for two or three minutes and in that time ran onto the inter-island ferry boat around 2:10 p.m. Distler guesses that the man was catching the boat headed for Orcas.

After the supervisor checked the bathrooms and did not find the 22-year-old male, he called the police.

The man was back in custody at 4 p.m. He was charged with escape in the second degree.

Distler said the “escape” was a first in his 20-year law enforcement career.

Orcas man receives treatment in lieu of jail An Orcas man who a year ago helped a friend break into a relative’s home and steal credit cards, cash and power tools will be allowed to undergo treatment for substance abuse instead of jail.

On July 27, Jason Allen Buehler, 26, pleaded no-contest, also known as an Alford plea, to one count of first-degree criminal trespass, a gross misdemeanor, which carries maximum penalties of one year in jail, a $5,000 fine, or both.

Pre-schoolers to receive boost Orcas Island’s four preschools – Montessori, Children’s House, Kaleidoscope and Salmonberry – have combined school fundraising, parent tuition and community-based “investment” dollars to provide all Orcas three- to five-year-olds

access to quality early childhood education.

Research shows that children who attend pre-school at least 12 hours per week, and are taught by qualified staff, enter kindergarten ready to succeed.

In addition to achieving the targeted attendance

threshold, this project also provides financial and educational incentives for all staff working with children to achieve their Washington State Childhood Development Accreditation by the end of the 2014-15 school year.

Joe Cohen and the late Bob Henigson originally had an idea for providing stable funding and development support for a pre-school opportunity on Orcas. The idea began with providing universal access but quickly added teaching quality support as well. Cohen and Henigson hoped that sustainable and adequate funding for preschool education would eventually become a reality on Orcas.

In 2013 a working group of representatives from the four Orcas schools, Amber Paulsen (Kaleidoscope), Susan Anderson (Children’s House), Eliza Morris (Salmonberry) and Teresa Chocano (Montessori),

Jim Connell, Orcas resident and national education consultant, facilitated the meetings. Six private “investors” from the community came forward to fund the gap between tuition and school fundraisers and the actual cost of achieving program goals.

While research is clear that early access to quality education is a win for all, what has been missing is the political will to adequately fund early childhood education from the state level.

“We thought, on an island, with a fairly manageable number of preschool students in residence, we ought to be able to give all our kids

the great start that everyone else thought had to ‘wait’ for the political will to emerge,” says Joe Cohen. “We felt the time was now; not later.”

First year goals • To achieve a minimum threshold of 12 hours per week for all children enrolled in each of the school’s programs.

• To have all staff working with children achieve their Childhood Development Accreditation through a state-accredited institution

by December 2015.

• To establish an effective protocol for the allocation of financial resources

to each school to achieve higher quality school age readiness for all.

Subsequent goals • To bring all children, even those entering preschool less prepared than their peers, up to school readiness by the time they reach kindergarten.

• To further strengthen the quality of the instructional experience for children.

• To use common measurements to assess student learning and teacher’s practices during the three-year span of this demonstration project.

Food Bank Manager Jeannie Doty and volunteer Joanne Cundy pack bags for Senior Outreach deliveries.

Through a cooperative effort between the Orcas Island Food Bank and Orcas Island Senior Services, a number of seniors who have trouble getting out of their home to go shopping or visit the food bank for one reason or another receive a personally-delivered bag of groceries every Friday morning.

This pilot program began when volunteers and board members noticed that seniors were not coming to the food bank. After two full months of outreach, the board voted to continue with this outreach program as part of the food bank’s mission.

The bags of groceries include basic items, proteins and, when available, fresh produce and fruit. If a recipient cannot consume certain foods, is diabetic or has other special needs, those issues are taken into consideration as groceries are packed. If you are aware of a senior or seniors who are unable or unwilling to leave their home and you feel they are not getting ample nourishment, call Marla Johns at 3762677 or Joanne Cundy at 425-239-0421.

As far as wedding vows go, theirs had to be a first.

Not only did Joshua Accomando and Lexi Abel both finish first in the Friday Harbor 8.8K Loop Run, in their respective men’s and women’s divisions, but by doing so they fulfilled a promise to Abel’s mother, Susan Hyde, and soon-to-be stepfather, Jay Lien, on the eve of the elder couple’s wedding.

Which, by the way, was set to begin only about six hours after the Boston-area couple crossed the finish line at the Friday Harbor fairgrounds, Saturday, Aug. 16.

After catching their breath, the two avid longdistance runners were last seen sprinting away from the fairgrounds, headed for the shower, no doubt.

“We told them we were going to win it for them,” the 32-year-old Abel said.

“We looked at the times from earlier races and we thought we could do it,” Accomando added.

And did it they did. But only by a hair’s breath.

In fact, while Abel completed the 5.4-mile course in 36 minutes, 47 seconds, and well ahead of her closest competitor, two-time reigning Loop Run women’s champ Laura Newcomb, at 38:02, 29-year-old Acconando kept up his end of the bargain with a desperate last-second dash, crossing the finish line only three seconds ahead of

“I was trying to keep up with my sister at the start,” Holmgren said. “It’s a bit harder with a stroller, to be honest. But it was a great experience and I’ll definitely come again next year.”

San Juan Island’s Linn Motko frequently walks the 5.4-mile course just for fun.

Though she feels no need to hurry along, participating in the annual Loop Run is a good way for the 74-year-

old to sharpen her focus, if only for a day. She strolled across the finish line in 1:20:19, second overall in the women’s 70-74 age division.

“I’m not getting older, I’m getting better,” she said.

“I was a minute faster this year, and 15 minutes faster than the year before that.

But back then I got distracted by blackberries along the way. I don’t do that anymore.”

second-place finisher Chris Kamykowski, in 33 minutes flat.

Kamykowski expected as much. The 25-yearold ceramic artist, who relocated to Orcas Island from Youngstown, Ohio, only three months ago, heard the steady sound of Accomando’s footsteps over the entire length of the course.

“I could hear him breathing so I knew he was right there,” Kamykowski said.

“I can’t really sprint, so I decided to hold the hardest pace I could for as long as I could and see what happens.”

Accomando was quick to credit Kamykowski for setting the pace.

“He did all the work,” he said.

Abel and Accomando aren’t the only couple to make a strong showing at the 37th annual 8.8K Loop Run. San Juan Island’s Rachel and Brian Goodremont, finishing third and fifth in their respective divisions, were the first islanders to cross the finish line, at 39:43 and 36:16, respectively.

Stakes were high and competition fierce at the top of the field, but the bulk of the 185-or-so Loop Run participants paid little mind to the ticking of the clock.

Tacoma’s Travis Holmgren completed the 5.4-mile course in 1:10:55, with 3-year-old daughter Claire, in a stroller, along for the ride. Not quite par for the course for the

What we can learn from Robin Williams “You’re only given one little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.”

Robin Williams not only said those words but he lived them to the fullest. His madness made him one of the most brilliant comedians of the last century. Devastatingly, that spark went out when he took his own life on Aug. 11.

The loss of this actor, comedian, philanthropist, husband and father has been felt by those around the world. The fact that most of us never met him is irrelevant. The power of his talent reached through the airwaves and into our hearts.

Williams, 63, had struggled with depression and cocaine and alcohol addiction for most of his life. At the time of his death, he was also contending with the beginning stages of Parkinson’s.

His suicide has prompted conversations about mental health on news sites across the country.

Psychologist and suicide survivor Katie Hurley wrote The Sea View Theatre is a column on Huffington Post paying tribute to a man entitled “There’s Nothing whose roles brought so much Selfish About Suicide” in to the screen and to our lives. response to Williams’ death.

On Sat. Aug. 23 at 8 p.m., the She wrote, “People everyare left feeling helptheatre will present a special where less and confused. How could screening of “Dead Poets someone who appeared so Society,” plus a tribute mash- happy in actuality be so very depressed?

According to Hurley, 50 to 75 percent of people who attempt suicide will tell someone about their intention.

“Listen when people talk. Make eye contact. Convey empathy. And for the love of people everywhere, put down that ridiculous not-soSmartPhone and be human,” she wrote.

If you know of someone who is struggling with depression, make an effort to be there for that person. Be persistent. Check in. Offer a patient ear and resources to help.

The National Suicide Prevention Line is 1-800-273-TALK. Those who call are connected to a skilled, trained counselor at a crisis center nearby. These hotlines are open 24/7.

Pay attention to those you love. As Robin Williams so tragically illustrated, even those who seem joyful from the outside can be facing an insurmountable battle on the inside.

To the Editor: Thoughts on jet noise During the 4 of July parade, a group protesting jet noise from NAS Whidbey participated. When they passed, my wife and me, both navy vets, we gave them the thumbs down sign, without further comment. One of the members of the group came up and stuck his boombox in my face while we exchanged pleasantries.

Over recent months there have a number of articles concerning this noise, most of them critical. There have been trip to D.C. To speak to representatives of Congress.

Support against the noise has been stated by county commissioners, past (Rhea) and present (Jamie).

Suggestions have been made to move the activity to another location. Fallon AFB, China Lake and Moses Lake have been mentioned.

Not only does this sound like “Nimby,” but these ideas are completely void of any consideration of the expense required to relocate the required infrastructure. It is needless to say that our nation is in serious debt. Furthermore, none of these locales offer a maritime environment in which these aircraft operate.

There has also been talk of additional protest and lawsuits. Those making these threats might want to consider how protests or lawsuits would go over, say, in Russia, North Korea, Iran or with the Taliban.

The Growlers are loud, no argument, but the readiness of these squadrons is paramount. For us, we would rather recall the inspirational words of JFK - “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can for your country.” It is

time to think less about “ME” and more about “US.” James Brady Lopez Island

Thank you United Way The Orcas Montessori School would like to express our heartfelt thank you to the United Way. With a generous grant from the United Way, we were able to continue our crucial tuition assistance program during the 20132014 school year. The media has helped all of us become increasingly aware of the research showing the numerous and long lasting benefits a quality preschool program has on a child and their family, yet many island families are unable to afford preschool tuition without an assistance program. Without the support of the United Way and the caring community members who make giving to the United Way a yearly act of generosity, programs like ours would be unable to meet the needs of our island families.

An investment in the most formative years of our children’s lives is an investment in the future strength and health of our island.

Correction Meetings Hours of operation at the Olga post office, Orcas Island, will be reduced to six. The cutback was incorrectly listed as four hours (based on incorrect information provided by USPS) in the story “Cut in hours at Shaw post office?”

Fire Chief report

by KEVIN O’BRIEN Orcas Fire Chief

Notable Alarms July 4: At 7:30 p.m., OIFR responded to Raccoon Point neighborhood to assist a 67-year-old male in cardiac arrest. After CPR and other significant emergency medical procedures were administered, the patient did not respond to resuscitation attempts and was pronounced dead at the scene.

July 12: At 8 p.m., OIFR responded to Orcas Landing for the report of a juvenile male who fell approximately 12 feet from a tree and sustained possible head and

spine injuries. The patient was treated, stabilized and transported to a remote landing zone in the Orcas area where he was transferred to Airlift Northwest for helicopter transport to Harborview Hospital in Seattle. OIFR was informed the patient is well and experienced a full recovery.

July 13: At 12 p.m., OIFR responded to an Orcas neighborhood to assist a juvenile male found unconscious after falling from his bicycle at high speed.

The patient had sustained traumatic injuries and was treated, stabilized, and transported to a remote landing zone in the Orcas area where he was trans-

Cafe needed in restored Artworks

Artworks building restoration - progress of the cafe area.

Orcas suffered a loss mid-2013 when the historic Strawberry Barreling Plant, popularly known as the Artworks Building, was severely damaged by a fire deemed to be at the hands of an arson. Owned by The Olga Strawberry Council, a nonprofit, the building housed the Artworks Co-operative, the Hardman Gallery and Cafe Olga. Restoration began in December, and is due to be completed in January, 2015. Artworks and Hardman Gallery will be returning to the building. For more info, visit www.olgastrawberrycouncil.org.

The area of the building previously occupied by Cafe Olga is being restored specifically to house a small cafe, and The Olga Strawberry Council is seeking an entrepreneur to rent and run a cafe in the 832 square foot kitchen and dining room. Ideally, the atmosphere of the cafe would be a warm and welcoming area compatible with the art and community situations the building offers.

It is the desire of OSC to have a café in operation at the time of its grand re-opening in January. Interested parties should contact the president of OSC, Patsy Stephens, at 376-2599 for specs and additional information as soon as possible so design and equipment specifications may be accommodated during the building process.

July 30: 9:30 a.m., OIFR personnel responded to a report of a capsized aluminum boat off the shore near the Buckhorn neighborhood with two adult males who were in the salt water for up to ten minutes. When OIFR personnel arrived, the men had been rescued and delivered to shore by family members. The men were medically evaluated and found to be in stable condition with no further treatment required. Thanks to Outer Island Expeditions for their support and assistance on this alarm.

Burning is closed Commercial and residential permitted burning is closed through September.

If conditions allow, we expect permitted burning to reopen in October.

Recreational camp fires no larger than two feet in diameter are currently allowed.

If you have a recreational fire, make sure that it is attended at all times and maintain a method of extinguishment in close proximity. When you are finished with the camp fire, make sure it is “dead out.” In partnership with the county fire marshal, OIFR will continue to monitor the fire risk conditions of our island and we will keep you posted regarding the possible closure of recreational fires.

As of Aug. 11, there is a burn ban for all fires in Moran State Park and other Washington State DNR controlled lands.

Drills On July 16, in preparation for the Mass Casualty Incident drill in August, OIFR members participated in comprehensive training and a tabletop exercise addressing the components of a large scale medical incident. The subsequent MCI drill in August took place at Eastsound Airport and simulated an aircraft collision involving 16 patients.

On July 24, wildland firefighters hiked Turtleback Mountain to survey the environment and plan for potential wildfire operations.

Trudy Erwin and a budding artist create pottery in 2005.

The following was originally printed in the Northwest Straits Foundation August newsletter.

West Beach Creek property owner Dianna Down reminisced about her mom, long‐time Orcas Island potter Trudy Erwin, who died in 2013 at age 90. Erwin was inspired to restore a fish passage and improve habitat on her shoreline property. Her daughters are committed to bringing Erwin’s wishes to fruition in partnership with Northwest Straits Foundation.

Please share your family’s connection to the West Beach Creek property.

My mom and grandmother used to spend summers in the islands and had a chance to buy Orcas Island Pottery in 1953. My grandmother Julia Crandall made pottery until the late

1970s when she passed the business along to my sister, Sydney Exton, who runs it today.

About the same time, my mom Trudy Erwin bought this property and set up her own pottery, The Right Place, just down West Beach from Orcas Island Pottery.

The name for The Right Place came from a play on words from the developer’s name, C. R. Wright.

Mom was a generous, grateful person. She shared her love of life with others, especially children. The Right Place was a place of self‐discovery. She taught adults and kids to make their own pottery ‐ very personal pots – charging little or nothing.

“We miss your mom,” vacationers will stop and say. “We used to come make pots every summer.” She

instilled a love of art and nature. Kids would wander down and create magical wonderlands with seaweed and driftwood on the beach.

I like to think that the women in my family not only helped to create an Orcas Island legacy of an artistic sort, but now we have an opportunity to create a conservation legacy as well. My mom, who passed last year at age 90, loved this land. Even though it’s modest and so were we, she would often say, “Oh, my gosh! Look at this beautiful place. We live like millionaires!”

What was your mom’s dream for the property, for West Beach Creek and for the beach?

When mom and my step‐ father Wally bought the property in 1978, they put in the culvert and dammed up the creek so we would have a swimming hole.

They thought it would be something we’d all use and enjoy. It was great at first.

But the dam slowed the water flowing in the creek.

It quickly became muddy and became a much better swimming hole for turtles, river otter, birds, deer, and other critters who settled in.

I think my mom felt a little guilty. As someone who thought a lot about the next generation, she felt responsible for doing what she could to make the world a better place. After Wally died she learned that she could work with a nonprofit conservation group to restore the fish passage and

improve the beach on her property. She was intrigued by the project. My sister was in on several conversations from the beginning, and we encouraged my mom to move forward.

She was pleased that as a private property owner she could work with others to restore salmon habitat that would have an impact far beyond the shores of her property. It was empowering and exciting. Of course, it took time and funding, but here we are, nearly ready to start construction in partnership with Northwest Straits Foundation.

What are the benefits your mom hoped would result from the restoration?

She would be grateful to know that removing the culvert will allow the creek to run faster again onto the beach and that the stream quality will improve. She would be delighted to see the fish come back and use the creek. But she would also hope that the birds and turtles will stick around after the pond is gone.

As an artist, she would appreciate the aesthetic improvements. Just knowing the creek going back to the way it’s supposed to be – free‐flowing and unobstructed.

My Native American neighbor says she remembers catching salmon in the creek when she was a kid before the culvert went in.

Mom would be so thrilled to hear her tell us she is catching fish there again.

CRIME FROM 1

part in the break-in and theft at the Deer Harbor home of a relative. She had earlier been banned from the house for reportedly using credit cards without the relative’s permission.

Following the burglary, footage from a surveillance camera at the Country Corner Store in Eastsound reportedly tied Frank to the use of a debit card that went missing following the June 2013 break-in. Authorities initially charged Buehler with residential burglary and third-degree theft, a gross misdemeanor. He failed to appear in court on the charges and was reportedly in custody in a neighboring county at the time authorities were searching for him. Under the sentence, he is required to be evaluated for alcohol. The remainder of the suspended sentence can be imposed if he commits a crime while under probation.

He was sentenced to 364 days in jail, with 364 days suspended, given two years probation, and ordered to pay $850 in fines and fees, and to pay $1,400 in restitution.

According to court documents, a female friend of Buehler’s, Sierra Frank, told authorities following her recent conviction for residential burglary, a Class B felony, that he had taken

13th Annual Wooden Teen artists on the green Boat Rendezvous in DH The Wooden Boat Society of the San Juan Islands is holding the Thirteenth Annual Wooden Boat Rendezvous Sept. 1 to 3 in Deer Harbor.

The rendezvous is a low-key celebration of wooden boats, held in one of the most scenic harbors in the Pacific Northwest.

All wooden boats are welcome: oar, power and sail. Wooden boats of all sizes attend the Rendezvous, from rowboats to motor launches, and day sailers to historic tall ships. Most of the boats moor at the Deer Harbor Marina, and are available for public viewing throughout the gathering.

Highlights of the rendezvous include:

Monday, Sept. 1 The boats arrive. As a new feature, boats will parade at 3 p.m. in Deer Harbor in view of the marina.

This will be followed by a no-host barbecue potluck on the dock Monday evening at 6 p.m.

Tuesday, Sept. 2 Breakfast will be held at 8 a.m., at the

Deer Harbor Inn, followed by a skipper’s meeting for race participants at 9 a.m. The regatta will begin in the late morning, wind permitting, and will take boats through the scenic islands and challenging currents of Wasp Passage. There will be a paddling and rowing race at 4 p.m., following the sailboat regatta.

The barbecue is from 4-8 p.m. and includes locally caught salmon, local organic produce, and the highest-quality microbrew beer on the west coast. There will be great live music from the Crow Valley String Band.

Wednesday, Sept. 3 A sailing dinghy race will be held Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. Most boats heading on to Port Townsend depart during the day on Wednesday. There will be a no-host potluck at Deer Harbor Marina on Wednesday evening at 6 p.m.

If you have questions, or would like to volunteer (help is always needed during the rendezvous for various tasks) call the Deer Harbor BoatWorks at 376-4056.

Steve Braun Triathlon The Steve Braun Memorial Triathlon presented by Friends of Moran is Sunday, Aug. 31.

Registration is at 7 a.m. and the pre-race meeting 8:30 a.m. The race starts at 9 a.m. promptly.

It’s almost that time of year again. As summer begins to fade into fall its time to celebrate and appreciate what Moran State Park has to offer. This is one of the key funding components for park projects, other than the gift shop at the summit of Mt. Constitution.

There are three components to the triathlon: Swim: 1/2-mile swim in beautiful Cascade Lake.

Noxious weed alert: thistle Sheriff Nou says: drive

by KATE YTURRI, JUDY WINER AND GWEN STAMM WSU Master Gardeners

Thistles are recognizable weeds in the San Juan Islands, and there are several varieties that are native to the U.S., one of which is located in the county: Indian thistle.

This native plant, also known short-style or clustered thistle (Cirsium brevistylum), can be confused with bull thistle (C. vulgare). Both are up to six or more feet tall but the native, short-style thistle lacks spiny wings on the upper stems. It can be distinguished from bull thistle by its hairy stem, and less deeply cut leaves that are arranged symmetrically.

Indian thistle’s stem is usually single and coated with hairs and webby fibers giving it a softer appearance. If you try to pull out a mature Indian thistle, its stem and leaves are soft, whereas bull thistle is quite painful. It is more shade tolerant than bull thistle.

Bull and Canada are noxious. Bull thistle reduces the growth of tree seedlings in replanted clear cuts. Bull and Canada thistle reduce crop yield and displace native plants. They prefer sunny, open spaces and can tolerate many soil conditions. Overgrazed pastures are susceptible to bull thistle since cattle tend to avoid it.

Both are widespread and are designated Class ‘C’ nox-

Indian thistle.

ious weeds. Their removal is encouraged but not required in the county.

Bull thistle, like Canada thistle, is a broadleaf, herbaceous plant. It is a biennial, which in its first year is a rosette of deeply lobed and prickly leaves. After winter, it bolts up to six feet and can become multistemmed. Leaves are alternate on branching and spiny-winged stems. The flowers are deep pink to purple and large. The bases of the flowers are covered with spines, which distinguish them from the smaller spine-less Canada thistle flowers. Whereas the biennial bull thistle spreads only by seed, Canada thistle (C. arvense), is an aggressive perennial weed that spreads by seed, root and rhizome. It can reach five feet in height, though female stems can be eight feet. Its alternate leaves, often hairy underneath, are typically elongated and variously toothed with spines on the

margins and at the tips. The stems are erect and branching with small, purple-pink or rarely white flowers in clusters at the top.

Control of these thistles are not the same, but prevention is important. Since bull thistle reproduces by seed, removal of plants before flowering may prevent new infestations.

Young plants can be dug with a shovel when in the rosette or seedling stage.

The removal of two to three inches of the root usually kills the plant. Plants with tight flower buds can be mowed or cut just below the soil. Repeating this a month later should kill most of the plants. Flowering heads should be collected and destroyed or disposed of in plastic bags. Close cutting before flowering or at least twice a season will reduce the population. Rototilling or hoeing will also effectively eliminate plants.

Goats and sheep both have been used for grazing management of bull thistle.

Even horses will help by picking out the nectar-rich flowers and eating them before they go to seed.

Control of Canada thistle is more difficult than control of bull. Manual removal is not recommended, as breaking up roots usually produces new plants.

Strategies to starve this biomass are most likely to be successful. Mowing the thistles at their tight bud stage can also be effective.

Repeating this procedure every 21 days will eventually starve the plant, though it must be done for up to three years. Inorganic mulches such as plastic and weed barrier fabrics may also be effective.

Photography exhibit

Dave Kosiur presents a selection of fine art photographic prints at the Orcas Art Studios, starting with a reception on Saturday, Aug. 23 from 4 to 6 p.m.

This exhibit will include both color and black and white photos from his recent travels in France and Italy, representing a new view of time-honored locations. Also shown will be a selection of prints from Kosiur's latest explorations in photographic abstraction based mainly on forms found in nature. The works will be on display at the studio until Oct. 23.

For more info, visit http:// orcasartstudios.com/gallery/dave-kosiur/.

Kosiur has been photographing for too many years to count, but his interest in photography grew significantly after moving to Orcas Island 14 years ago.

He helped start the Orcas Island Camera Club in September 2007 and turned over the reins of “chief organizer” of the club to others in 2010. During that period, he also ran some local classes on digital photography, color management, and using Adobe Lightroom.

The Orcas Choral Society is pleased to announce its performance of a major choral work at it’s December concert: Bach’s “Magnificat” for chorus, soloists and orchestra. Bach wrote the “Magnificat” for his first Christmas as Cantor at St. Thomas Church in 1723. It was his first major work in the final, and most important post as a musician.

Singers are needed for this concert, particularly tenors and basses. An open rehearsal will be held in the Madrona Room at Orcas Center at 7 p.m. on Tuesday night, Sept. 9. If you are interested in hearing the work and doing a sing-through, you are welcome to join us at the open rehearsal. Prospective members can decide whether they want to join in this endeavor after the open rehearsal. The Orcas Choral Society rehearses on Tuesday nights, and the concert dates are Dec. 6 and 7, both at Orcas Center.

Every glass of wine you drink has a story.

That is according to Michael Yeaman, who helps to run the Thurston Wolfe Winery in Prosser, Wash.

“The story starts where the grapes were planted … the environment and soil,” said Yeamen. “And goes all the way to the science and art in the making wine.”

Yeaman with winery owner Wade Wolfe will present a wine class and tasting on Sunday, Aug. 31 from 3 – 5 p.m. at Random Howse.

The cost is $25 per person. All proceeds go to the Orcas Animal Shelter. At the event you will have a chance to taste Washington wines while learning about the history of the industry from Wolfe.

RSVP or mail a check to Orcas APS, 84A Hope Lane, Eastsound, WA 98245.

Tickets are available at the door.

The Wolfe winery was named 2012 Northwest Winery of the year and is owned by Wade Wolfe and Rebecca Yeaman, Micheal’s sister.

The winery produces 6,000 cases a year. Micheal and his wife Deborah help with winery when possible.

Micheal said this year’s theme for the wine class is “crush,” which is the term for the intense period between picking the grapes and getting them into a barrel for aging.

At the event there will be a slideshow to show the audience the whole process.

Islanders will also get to learn some of the secrets in the wine business like

why some wines taste different even though the same grapes are used and how a clean working space can affect the flavor.

Michael said that it will be exciting for islanders to hear Wade speak. Wade has worked in the wine business in Washington for 30 years and ten years ago he started the Thurston Wolfe Winery.

“It’s going to be a lot of fun for people who like wine,” said Micheal.

According to APS board member and Sounder Publisher Colleen Smith Armstrong, the best part of enjoying wines is that every sip is for good cause.

“The animal shelter provides a critical service for our cats and dogs in need,” she said. “Fundraisers like this help fund our daily operation and saves animal lives.”

Obituary Victor Prescott

PNW MarketPlace!

click! www.nw-ads.com email! classified@soundpublishing.com call toll free! 1.888.399.3999 or 1.800.388.2527

Our father, Victor Prescott, peacefully passed away in his sleep on August 17, 2014 at the San Juan Island home of his son and daughter-law, Rick and Torrey Prescott, where he had lived for the past three years.

Born in Los Angeles on Dec. 4, 1922, Victor spent his 91 years full of curiosity about the world around him. He shared his excitement about science, math, history and ideas with his children, Viki, Rick, Larry and Colleen, and he instilled in each a dedication to learning throughout life.

He often said to each one, “I love you more than you’ll ever know.” The truth is we did know, and he gave us rich lives full of childhood experiences that have shaped each one of us and his seven grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren with another on the way.

In addition to being a wonderful father, Victor, was a World War II veteran. He piloted a B-17G,

one of the famous Flying Fortresses. Based in southern Italy, he flew missions to destroy Nazi supply lines, ammunition depots, and oil refineries. Early on in his service, his plane was hit by anti-aircraft flack and crash landed in Hungary. All the crew survived and shortly after their return to the air base, they resumed flying until the end of the war. He also volunteered to fly on the final heavy bombardment of Berlin, a mission that was deemed so dangerous that the U.S. Army Air Corps only accepted volunteers. He was decorated for that mission and received a presidential citation. In

1951-52 he was called up from the National Guard reserves to serve again in Germany, where he was a communications specialist and pilot.

In civilian life, Victor had a long and varied career with Pacific Telephone in the Los Angeles area. He started as a lineman and retired after having spent many years in management and engineering. After retirement, Victor and Teresa moved to Orcas Island, where he served on the Olga water board along with his good friend, David Sofaer. He was also active in the building of St. Francis Catholic Church on Orcas.

Victor was predeceased by his first wife Gwendolyn in 1963, son Larry in 1970, and by his second wife Teresa in 1995. He always said he had been so lucky to have had two wonderful marriages. And we are so grateful to have had such an amazing father, grandfather and great-grandfather Victor’s funeral will be held at St. Francis Catholic Church in Friday Harbor on August 21 at 11 a.m.

Burial will follow at the Catholic Cemetery, where he will be laid to rest next to his wife, Teresa.

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.
