Ever wondered about the creatures living beneath the surface of the sea?

Now you can find out what aquatic wildlife is residing in just about every nook and cranny of the San Juans – all with the click of a mouse.

REEF, a nonprofit based out of Florida, has been connecting divers across the globe through its online database of marine sightings.

“They are our eyes underwater,” said Joe Gaydos, chief scientist for Orcas Island’s SeaDoc Society, which has been partnering with REEF’s diving program since 2002.

With varying levels of training, the divers are able to record the fish and invertebrates they encounter. The data is organized by region and sighting frequency.

While some of the local data is collected by islanders, many of the surveys are completed by visiting divers.

Gaydos says the database is a great tool for gathering information as well as creating stewards of the environment within the div-

Ferry reservations – cause for concern?

by CALI BAGBY Assistant editor

Travel may get easier or be more of a hassle depending on whom you talk to when ferry reservations become a reality this January.

While some islanders are all in favor of a guaranteed travel option, other islanders have gone as far as creating a petition against the new program. Whether you’re for or against reservations it is happening.

Starting Dec. 2 you can reserve a spot in the ferry line on all westbound sailings leaving Anacortes starting Jan. 5, 2015. Eastbound service is available from Friday Harbor and Orcas.

The reservation ball started rolling in 2009, when the state legislature directed Washington State Ferries to look at demand management versus an asset management solution. According to Brian Churchwell, program manager at WSF, this means not focusing on larger terminals and vessels, but rather looking at how to spread demand across the day to help fill some of the less-utilized sailings.

Churchwell sounds optimistic that reserva-

tions will indeed make things better for traveling. For islanders, at least on the Internet, the response is not quite rosy.

Rants against reservations On the “Friday Harbor Rant and Rave” page on Facebook there are 91 conversations with more than 31 people who commented on a thread posted by San Juan Islander Ashley Buchanan. She wrote, “I’m pretty outraged ...

I know some people have had to wait in line to get home every once in awhile. I have never waited in line more than an hour, maybe hour and a half tops! Do we really honestly think this system is going to HELP the traffic situation?”

People agreeing said it would hurt their ability to get off-island with short notice to run errands, that reservations should only be used on a seasonal basis only and that islanders are being forced to accept the new system.

Buchanan started a petition on change.org to be delivered to Secretary of Transportation Lynn Peterson. So far 259 people have signed

the document. To read the petition, visit the islandssounder.com and search “Ferry reservations cause for concern?”

According to Churchwell, 90 percent of the vessel will be available for reservations and only 10 percent will be set aside for non-reservations. Any remaining space will be made available to drive-up vehicles. Originally WSF made 95 percent of the vessels available for reservations, but staff found that some sailings had slightly higher than 5 percent of vehicles using the ferry for emergency or medical issues, so they modified the reservation percentages.

“One of our key issues today is that on our highly desired sailings we have more customers showing up at our terminals than we have available space for the upcoming sailing. This causes congestion at our terminals and in our communities. Reservations will eliminate this congestion,” said Churchwell. “We don’t expect that our customers will need reservations on all sailings, at all times of the year. We have found

ing community. SeaDoc intends to use the data to publish papers, report to the San Juan County Marine Resources Committee and foster community awareness.

“It is really cool that average citizens can participate but there is also so much scientific and outreach potential,” he said.

Anyone can view the data on www.reef.org. You pick the region and there are detailed findings – including color photos – of species spotted in the San Juans. Whether it’s near Bell Island or Doe Bay or Lime Kiln, you are likely to find what is living under the water right outside your door.

Janna Nichols, based in Vancouver, Wash., is the northwest coordinator for REEF. She runs a website (www.pnwscuba. com/janna.htm) and teaches classes to Washington divers who are interested in being part of the program.

“The biggest stumbling block for divers is knowing how to identify species – so REEF also offers what they call ‘fishinars’ online for people to learn what to look for,” Gaydos said.

The data that divers collect is categorized by their education

Popular brass players are back Community solar for island schools Brass will be the focus of music education in the Orcas public schools Oct. 13 through 16. Two members of “C Street Brass,” Kyle Anderson, trumpet, and Hakeem Bilal, bass trombone, will be Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival’s Musicians-in-Residence teaching artists for the K-12 School Music Program.

They will also teach community musician groups

during the week. Students will be excited to welcome back Anderson and Bilal, who came to Orcas last fall to coach and perform with other members of “C Street Brass.” And they were a hit with the community, too, when they presented a fabulous high-energy concert at The Grange.

This year, they will be working during the day with students at the Orcas

Public Schools in coordination with music teacher Pamela Wright and band director Darren Dix. At night, they’ll be coaching students of all ages.

On Monday, Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. they’ll coach Orcas Community Band members. On Wednesday, Oct. 15 at 7 p.m., Anderson and Bilal will work with Orcatrazz members led by band leader Ken Speck.

Funding for these 201415 Musicians-in-Residence programs is from the National Endowment for the Arts, Orcas Island Community Foundation, Washington State Arts Commission, Monique Mead, Mimi and Slim Sommerville and the Gould Family Foundation.

A workshop open for all to attend will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. in the Band Room. This eve-

ning will focus on rehearsal and musical techniques for trumpet and trombone, as well as specifics about the instrument and performance. Flute, saxophone, clarinet and oboe musicians will be paired with the trumpet, and lower reeds/ brass, such as the bassoon, low clarinets and saxophones will be paired with the trombone.

Individual coaching sessions of approximately 10 minutes are planned for each participant and may include recommendations regarding breath control, posture and instrument position, tone modulation, dynamics and practice.

Tuition for the Tuesday evening workshop is by donation. To sign up, please call the OIMCF office at 376-6636. For complete Festival information, visit www.oicmf.org.

“By investing in solar energy, we are lowering utility costs for our schools,” said Janet Brownell, president of the Orcas Island Education Foundation.

“That means more money for our classrooms and students. But it is not only about saving money, it is also about education for our students. What a winwin proposition. Lance [her husband] and I have bought our ‘share’ and we hope you will too.”

“It was a no-brainer for us,” said Kirm Taylor when talking about contributing to Community Solar for Our Schools. Kirm and Lexi Taylor wanted to install solar panels when they built their home on Lopez Island in 2008, but couldn’t without removing a lot of trees. Community Solar provides people like the Taylors with an opportunity to promote solar even when they can’t install it on their own home. Lexi Taylor is a retired teacher and the Taylors like that the program will support the Lopez Island School District.

“Plus, we’ll get paid back,” said Kirm Taylor.

According to Boyd Pratt, former San Juan Island School board member who is contributing to the program,“Utilities are a major school budget

expense; the more we can reduce that cost, the more we can pay for teachers and other resources that benefit students. It’s a step towards energy sustainability for our community and also an investment in our schools.”

Community Solar for Our Schools will install four solar systems at Lopez, Orcas, San Juan and Shaw Island schools. The schools will receive all the energy generated, lowering their electricity costs. Bonneville Environmental Foundation will provide renewable energy educational curriculum, teacher training, and science kits for each school to support the schools’ science programs.

San Juan County residents (even part-time residents) and businesses can purchase solar units at $100 each. Participants will receive annual energy production incentive payments that are anticipated to fully pay back participants for the cost of the solar units purchased. Participants can also choose to donate their incentive payments to the San Juan County school district of their choice.

Solar for our schools is a concept coming to life. The energy is there, the students are eager to learn and installation is slated for early 2015. Please consider contributing. There are three ways to sign up: • Email solar@sjislandscd.org • Online at www.sjislandscd.org • Call 378-6621 or 3766621 Community Solar for Our Schools was developed

by Islands Energy, which is a collaborative group of local and regional nonprofits and community volunteers led by the San Juan Islands Conservation District and sponsored by OPALCO. They are working together to increase energy efficiency and conservation, increase local energy generation and keep energy costs lower.

Outbreak of enterovirus D68 A lesson in compassion It is likely that enterovirus D68 has reached the San Juan Islands. A case has been reported that is positive for enterovirus. Further testing is only done by the CDC if the cases causes severe illness and the individual requires intensive care management.

“Parents and teachers should watch children for difficulty breathing or wheezing, particularly in children with a history of asthma,” said Dr. Frank James, Health Officer for San Juan County. “These children may become very ill and require emergency room evaluation or even hospitalization for breathing problems. If your child becomes progressively sicker, immediate evaluation is needed and urgent evaluation by health care providers. If your child has severe respiratory distress you should call 911.”

The current outbreaks of enterovirus D68 are resulting in significant numbers of chil-

dren with respiratory infections requiring emergency department visits and hospitalizations, primarily for difficulties with breathing and severe asthma. Because this particular strain of enterovirus has been uncommon in the past, the ways it spreads are not as well understood as other enteroviruses. It likely spreads from person to person when an infected person coughs, sneezes or touches contaminated surfaces.

EV-D68 has been reported to cause mild to severe respiratory illness, i.e. runny nose, cough, difficulty breathing, with and without fever. Most persons have these typical cold-like symptoms. However, a small fewmay have more serious infections, particularly children and adults with pre-existing asthma. There is no specific treatment for these viral infections. To decrease the risk for illness, wash hands often, avoid touching eyes, mouth or nose, disinfect surfaces and stay home if you are sick.

Woman drowns in hot tub On Tuesday, Sept. 30 at about 3:15 p.m., Orcas Island Fire and Rescue, EMS and deputies were sent to a home in the Deer Harbor area on a report of a drowning.

Rescuers found a 29year-old Portland, Oregon

woman unconscious and unresponsive. The caller pulled the victim from a hot tub and immediately began CPR, which continued until rescuers arrived. Further resuscitation efforts proved unsuccessful.

Investigation into the

death is continuing by the sheriff ’s office, assisted by the coroner and the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office.

The victim’s identity is being withheld pending notification of her relatives.

Geddes returns to cafeteria Geddes Martin, chef extraordinaire at Inn of Ship Bay, returns to school to be the "Celebrity Chef at School" on Thursday, Oct. 16. Together with the amazing cafeteria staff, he will be preparing a delicious lunch for our public school students, parents, friends and community.

As the students need to have lunch before they have to get back to class, the community is asked to arrive between 12:15 and 1 p.m. to enjoy a delicious lunch of roasted Mad Hatcher chicken, mashed potatoes

and gravy, toasted Bluebird farro, fresh kale “Caesar” salad and a fruit crunch for dessert. An equally delicious vegetarian option will be available as always. Just $5 includes all this and a beverage.

This will be the last celebrity chef event before the old 35-year-old cafeteria kitchen and home economics room is turned into a sparkling newly-renovated and expanded cafeteria, kitchen and culinary arts complex.

Reconstruction on this area of the school is scheduled to begin in January 2015.

Eight teenagers are taking compassion seriously at Orcas Island School.

“The affects of the project are still going on,” said participant Meg Mayhew Waage, 13.

From Sept. 11 to Sept.

21, these middle school students competed in the Compassion Games under the direction of teacher Laura Tidwell.

The games occurred internationally and are designed to make communities safer, kinder, more just and better places to live, according to the official website. The challenge included random acts of kindness, daily challenges and a report of what happened.

“I did a lot of stuff … like helping my sister with her chores,” said Emma Thoron, 13.

Other students like Millie Kau, 13, held the door open for strangers. Margot Van Gelder, 13, said it’s important to remember that compassion works with animals as well.

The Orcas group placed number three out of 37 groups that turned in reports.

Tidwell’s inspiration to start the contest came to her when thinking about how to address bullying in a school setting.

“Compassionate people are not bullies,” she said.

“The definition of a bully is someone without compassion.”

Her hope was that by getting young people to be actively nice to one another

To the Editor: Editorial Neighboring sheriffs Hopeful but cautious endorse Rob Nou about WSF reservations

H

ow many times do you drive down Orcas Road wondering what will happen when you make that left turn into the ferry terminal lanes? How many times has your heart plummeted on a Friday afternoon as you see that all six lanes are full? It truly is heartbreaking watching that ferry float off into the distance as you are stuck on the island.

When I first heard about the ferry reservations system starting this January I thought, “Great, no longer will I have to worry if I will make it off-island for a concert, doctor’s appointment or outdoor adventure.” But after looking into the new program I have a little less elation and a bit more doubt that this will be the ticket to easier travel.

A coworker recently used a similar ferry reservation process and showed up at the Anacortes terminal only ten minutes before sailing because of unforeseen freeway traffic. The boat was full and she was told the reservation was not going to be honored.

You have to be in line at least a half hour before the ferry sails. Of course this is logical – how else will ferry workers know if you are actually showing up and adjust the boat numbers? But for the driver it is discouraging. What is the point of the reservation if you have to be there at the same time that everyone else does?

The good news is that when the new plan comes to fruition on Jan. 5, 90 percent of riders will able to use the reservation system and then we will literally all be in the same boat – pun intended. On the other hand, we may not be able to get on the ferry in the spur of the moment.

At the same time, it’s possible that most riders won’t use the reservation system and then nothing has really changed. We at the Sounder want to have open minds when it comes to reservations.

We hope it will streamline travel not only for us, but for tourists who bring commerce to the islands.

At this point, we really don’t know how the new system will play out. According to WSF officials, it has worked well in other communities. Only time will tell for us.

Northwest Washington is a unique and beautiful part of our state in which to live and raise a family. With its natural beauty, great recreational opportunities, good schools and many, many other things, Northwest Washington is a wonderful place to live and work. The feeling of safety that only comes with good law and order is also a critically important element of the strong and vibrant communities that exist here.

Fortunately San Juan County has a sheriff who knows how to create and sustain such communities.

Rob Nou has over 33 years of law enforcement experience; the last four years having served as your elected sheriff. Rob is a graduate of the FBI National Academy, as well as the National Sheriff ’s Institute.

In the past four years Rob has led the implementation of changes at the Sheriff ’s Office to improve efficiency and service through better equipment, additional training, and demonstrating a passion for excellent customer service.

Sheriff Nou has repeatedly demonstrated that he has the skills and leadership qualities needed to be the chief law enforcement officer in San Juan County. We also know Rob on a more personal level.

Having had the opportunity to work with him on various projects and issues over the past four years, it is clear to us that he is also a man of great character and integrity. He is a passionate advocate for issues impacting San Juan County, and his reasonable approach and “can do” attitude make him a pleasure to work with.

respectively, who share a common border with San Juan, we count on Sheriff Nou as a critical part of the Northwest Washington Law Enforcement “Leadership Team”.

The job of sheriff is too important to count on “on-the-job training”.

Please consider casting your vote to reelect Sheriff Rob Nou. Will Reichardt Sheriff of Skagit County Mark Brown Sheriff of Island County Bill Elfo Sheriff of Whatcom County

White for clerk This November, voters will have the opportunity to retain a wonderful and dedicated public servant who has served the community with distinction. I have had the privilege of working with Joan White since she was first elected County Clerk, and have been impressed with her experience, wealth of knowledge, work ethic, compassion and her devotion to the citizens of the community. In her eight years as County Clerk, Joan has helped increase public access to the Superior Court, made it more user-friendly and improved the security of and accessibility to our public records. For lawyers, litigants and others trying to navigate the court system, Joan’s positive attitude – “How can we help you?”

– goes a long way.

I urge you to re-elect Joan White for County Clerk.

Support for levy lift This year’s November ballot will have numerous measures to vote on. One of them is the renewal of the Levy Lid Lift, which includes several social programs, one of Mailing/Street Address P.O.

them being senior services. When the levy was passed in 2009, it funded primarily Social Services personnel necessary to the ongoing operation of the senior centers in the county. The renewal vote will include $30,000 for nutrition for the three senior centers. Up to now, the lunches are funded

by Whatcom County. The cost of the lunches increases, the funding does not increase, and donations for the lunches are not keeping up with the costs. Last year alone there was a deficit of over $32,000 for the three San Juan County senior centers. The $30,000 earmarked for lunch programs will offset the deficit and will help realize a plan that the Orcas Operations Committee has held for some time, as may the other two centers as well, to increase the lunch programs at the senior center from two to three days per week. This inclusion of $30,000 is the first time that San Juan County participates in the lunch programs in its jurisdiction. San Juan, Whatcom, Island and Skagit counties are part of the Northwest Regional Council, which serves as the conduit for federal funding of Senior Nutrition programs in this part of Washington.

Nutrition, or lack thereof, is a growing problem in the senior community. There will be folks who come to lunch who are not getting a balanced, well-prepared meal at any other time per week.

Additionally, at lunchtime, seniors can enjoy each other’s company, and visit with old friends only at those get-togethers.

As chairperson for the Orcas Operations Committee, I urge voters to vote for the renewal of the Levy Lid Lift on Nov. 4 for the good of the community.

Obituary John “Jack” Conant John "Jack" Charles Conant, 76, of Orcas Island, WA, passed away Sept. 28, 2014 at St. Joseph's Hospital in Bellingham, Wash., after collapsing unexpectedly near his home. Jack was well known in the Orcas Island community for his engaging and forthright personality.

He was a member of the American Legion, an active participant in Kiwanis and the Spring Point Homeowner's Association.

A U.S. Navy veteran and career pilot with American Airlines, Jack was much beloved by his family and

friends, and leaves a remarkable legacy of goodwill and good humor.

Jack was born Jan. 17, 1938, in Jacksonville, IL, the eldest son of Doris and John Conant. He is survived by his wife, Laura, and his faithful dog, Rex. He is also survived by three of his siblings, Robert (Kitty) Conant of Valencia, Calif.; Nancy Robarge of Port Hueneme, Calif.; and James (Michelle) Conant of Kirkland, Wash.,

and his three children, Jan (Marty) Njaa of Maple Valley, Wash.; Jeanne (Dito) Diez of Temecula, Calif.; and John (Chris) Conant of Satellite Beach, Fla. Jack was blessed with five grandchildren, Lindsey (Tyler) Schneckloth, Chloe, Halle, Kristina and Josh, and one great-grandson, Parker John. He was preceded in death by his parents and one sister, Barbara Vogt.

Jack graduated from Jacksonville High School in 1956 and from the University of Illinois in 1961 with a degree in mechanical engineering. He was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Navy, serving from 1961 to 1966 as a command pilot with Patrol Squadron VP-6 on the P3 Lockheed Electra.

Jack married Laura Melhorn, an American Airlines stewardess, on March 10, 1979, and they moved to Orcas in 1988. Jack retired from American Airlines as a 767 International Captain in 1998. Shortly before retirement, he launched "Lockpickers" on Orcas, serving the San Juan Islands.

A celebration of life will be held after the first of the year, a specific date to be announced later. Memorials may be directed to the Orcas Island chapter of Kiwanis, or the Orcas Animal Protection Society.

greenlings, copper rockfish and lingcod. In the invertegrate catergory, California sea cucumbers, sunflower stars and the orange sea cucumber are the most common.

For the second year in a row, SeaDoc has invited expert-level divers to spend time in the San Juans and work with its monitoring program. Gaydos chooses 10 divers who perform 100 surveys in one week around the islands. SeaDoc pays

for the boat time and housing and the divers bring their own equipment. This year, people from Canada, Oregon and California participated.

“Underwater is the hardest place to see change but through REEF we are already seeing differences – like a decrease in the sea star population,” Gaydos said. “We used to not see black rockfish or yellowtail rockfish and now they are coming back.”

Vikings work hard; look towards Homecoming

by MARTY ZIER Sports contributor

Football The Vikings football team traveled to LaConner for a 43-6 loss under the lights in Skagit Valley. Suiting up only 14 players versus 36 Braves, the Vikings showed resolution and commitment to their teammates and school as they once again faced an insurmountable task. At half, a well-executing Brave team lead 36-0.

Freshman Ivan Bullock caught a 35-yard pass from Miles Harlow for the sole Viking score.

“We battled hard for four quarters,” said coach Justin Frausto. “I thought we could have scored more. We had too many turnovers.

LaConner played with great execution. Our focus is to keep learning and get better as a team every week.”

Over the course of four days, we look forward to bringing some of the best films from around the world to the island along with some of the filmmaking teams responsible for their creation.

A film festival is an opportunity for the community to come together to see the world through a different lens. To experience, contemplate, savor and absorb the complexities of our own lives and the lives of others. We will be showcasing 30 films from 17 countries including five Academy Award Submissions for the Best Foreign Language Category at the Oscars.

It is exciting to see the renewal of the Seaview Theatre and the opportunity to show films at the culturally vibrant Orcas Center as well as the stalwart Doe Bay Resort and at Random Howse across the street from the Seaview Theatre.

Film is about telling stories and immersing us into other worlds. The films we have selected with take you into far beyond the shores of Orcas and also showcase the magic of this special place that is nestled within the Archipelago of the San Juan Islands. I’m sure there will be great con-

CHURCH SERVICES on Orcas Island & in the San Juans

Who’s Who in Deer Harbor Hospitality: 1910-1950s

by SUZANNE P. GOTT

for the Orcas Island Historical Museum

By 1916, many fruit farmers turned to tourism to augment personal income. Tourists wanted economical family-style summer retreats. Simple. Scenic. Healthy.

Balmy.

Clean tents or tent-cabins came with chamber pots, buckets of water, and hot meals served with local wine.

Guests could be sailed to recreation and points of interest, such as salmon fishing, Deer Harbor’s Dance Hall, an organized rabbit hunt on San Juan Island, or around the island to Mt. Constitution where they hiked or rode Langell’s wagon or Model-T on a crude road to the summit.

The new car ferry in the mid‘20s brought road improvements, increased recreational mobility and better accommodations.

Tourism peaked in the late 940s.

Who’s Who Thumbnails: First Hospitality. 1852: Natives welcomed the first four Hudson Bay explorers at the Slough. Everyone spoke Chinook Jargon (pidgin trade language of the Pacific Northwest).

1859: Deer Harbor’s first homesteaders were Louis Owen and Mary Ann (Sulwham) Cayou and James and Idele Badaillac (LaPlante) Bradshaw.

1870: Martin White Nichols navigated the first sailboat into Deer Harbor Bay. Nichols married Bradshaw’s widow Idele in 1874 and raised the children.

1891: Cayou’s first-born, Henry Thomas Cayou, and first wife, Mary K. (Reed) Cayou, were welcoming new settlers at his small float and offering comfortable lodging.

Norton’s Inn. 1894: Patrick “Pat” and Mary A. (Marrian) Norton acquired property from Oberin Loos for a fruit farm.

1910: Mary’s boarding house, sociability, treadle sewing machine and good cooking blossomed into Norton’s Inn. 1931-1961: Felix James & Esther Elizabeth (Wilson) Norton built a new lodge dining room, and ran a successful family business.

Deer Harbor Marina, Store, Tavern. 1915-1960s: William “Bill” and Merle (Schlott) Norton focused on attracting boaters who enjoyed chicken dinner at Norton’s Inn and dancing at Norton’s Dance Hall.

Maple Point Lodge. 1877: Oberin Tissot Loos settled at Indian Point.

1885: Loos, a revolutionary college-educated son of a dynamic multi-lingual minister and college professor, married a local school teacher, “Sadie” Sarah Estelle Cadwell, and made his mark in Deer Harbor history.

1928-1951: Son William “Bill” Walter Loos married a school teacher, too — Winnifred G. Turner. They operated the family’s Christian resort.

Pole Pass Resort. 1885: Robert K. and Olive “Ollie” (Cadwell) McLachlan greeted people rowing through Pole Pass and invited them to a meal and lodging.

1890-1907: McLachlan kept

the kerosene-lantern signal light at Pole Pass to warn boaters.

Kirk and Olive M. (Stillman) McLachlan fulfilled Robert’s traditions by having mid-century cabins filled with full-time tenants.

Sunnyside Beach Resort.

William “Bill” and Edith (Lehmann) McLachlan’s property adjoined Robert’s, and was known for its pristine view of sunsets.

Bill recounted pod(s) of Orca taking 45 minutes to swim through Pole Pass.

Olympic Lodge. Mid-1940: William “Bill” J. and Margaret J. (Carlaftes) Tryforos married, left their family’s NYC floral business, and came to Olympic Lodge — downhill from the popular Deer Harbor Dance Hall.

Salmon Bight Lodge Resort (aka: Casa Mar Silva). 19331948: Frederick Miller and Harriette Bernatta (Brown) McCreary, and son, Frederick Roland McCreary, advertised their modern resort on what was known as Tippery Road (renamed Cormorant Bay Road) to honor Miles W. Tippery—Tektronix Oscilloscope cofounder (1946) and family who lived in the Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home.

Four Winds * Westward Ho Summer Camp. Located between Deer Harbor and Pole Pass.

1927: After the Western Fish Cannery burned down at that site, Seattle Camp Fire Girl Director, Ruth A. Brown, established her Four Winds Camp for girls/teens.

1935: Brown set up Westward Ho Camp for boys/teens.

Autumn reading list Darvill’s Bookstore fall reading selections

“The Bone Clocks” by David Mitchell is one of the most anticipated novels of the fall. This hypnotic story from the author of “Cloud Atlas” is a vast, intricate story about a secret war between a cult of soul-decanters and the small group of vigilantes who try to take them down.

Fluently mixing the supernatural, sci-fi, horror, social satire and heartbreaking realism, “The Bone Clocks” is a kaleidoscopic novel that begs to be taken apart and put back together.

“Lisette’s List” by Susan Vreeland is about a young Parisian woman exiled to Provence to take care of her husband’s ailing grandfather during the Vichy regime, but discovers that despite the horrors of war, the paintings of Cezanne, Pisarro, Chagall and Picasso bring to life the landscape around her and allow her once again to experience love.

A book written in lush beautiful prose it is as evocative and colorful as the paintings so richly described.

“The Impulse Society” by Paul Roberts is from the bestselling author of “The End of Oil” and “The End of Food.” It is a moment-defining book about how our technologically driven economy has pushed our “culture of narcissism” into hyper-drive over the last three decades – and what we can still do about it. Roberts grew up on Orcas Island and will be here in October to talk about his book.

“Plenty More: Vibrant Vegetable Cooking” from London’s Ottolenghi

by Yotam Ottolenghi is a follow-up to “Plenty.” This visually stunning collection of more than 150 dazzling recipes emphasize spices, seasonality, and bold flavors. From inspired salads to hearty main dishes and luscious desserts, “Plenty More” is a must-have for vegetarians and omnivores alike.

Orcas Island Librarian Kathy Lunde picks “The Children Act” by Ian McEwan is about Fiona Maye, a leading high court judge who presides over cases in the family court. She is renowned for her fierce intelligence, exactitude and sensitivity. But her professional success belies private sorrow and domestic strife.

At the same time, she is called on to try an urgent case: Adam, a beautiful seventeen-year-old boy, is refusing for religious reasons the medical treatment that could save his life, and his devout parents echo his wishes. Time is running out. Should the secular court overrule sincerely expressed faith?

Just in time for football season, there is “Russell Wilson, Standing Tall” by Art Thiel and Steve Rudman. Having already written a book about the Seattle Mariners, our friend Art sets his sights on quarterback Russell Wilson and the Seahawks.

In this commemorative edition, veteran Seattle sports writers Thiel and Rudman trace the quarterback’s

ascent from North Carolina State to Wisconsin, with a detour into professional baseball, and through the Super Bowl XLVIII win. Featuring nearly 100 unique color photographs, “Russell Wilson: Standing Tall” captures the meteoric rise of one of the NFL’s most surprising superstars.

And if you like dogs, and who doesn’t, “The Story of Edgar Sawtelle” by David Wroblewski is destined to become a modern classic. Born mute, speaking only in sign, Edgar leads an idyllic life with his parents on their farm in remote northern Wisconsin. For generations, the Sawtelles have raised and trained a fictional breed of dog whose remarkable gift for companionship is epitomized by Almondine, Edgar’s lifelong friend and ally. Edgar seems poised to carry on his family’s traditions, but when catastrophe strikes, he finds his once-peaceful home engulfed in turmoil.

Insisting that this tome is neither autobiography nor memoir, countercultural icon Robbins covers the significant touchstones of his life in “Tibetan Peach Pie.” Beginning with his humble origins in a succession of Tidewater towns, Robbins knew that he wanted to write since before he could write.

Always marked by his “funky orientation and anarchic aesthetic,” Robbins has held a lifelong love for the offbeat and for the written word. As a child he won a radio in a raffle and sold it for books.

All of these books are available at the Orcas Island Public Library.

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
