Orcas Elementary students got into the spirit of Blue Friday, and their enthusiasm paid off as the Seahawks clinched a last-minute win against the Green Bay Packers, securing a spot in the Super Bowl.

On Wednesday San Juan County advanced to the semifinal round of the Georgetown University Energy Prize, a national competition challenging communities across the U.S. to rethink their energy use.

At a Jan. 14 press event in Washington, D.C. today, San Juan County was recognized as one of the 50 communities leading the way in energy efficiency.

“In San Juan County, we know we must transform how we generate and use energy,” County Council Chairman Bob Jarman said. “Our plan addresses these challenges and charts a course of action.”

In preparation for the competition, a San Juan Islands Energy Plan was developed by county leaders, Orcas Power and Light Cooperative and members of the public over the past few months.

Priorities of the plan include community and youth education and engagement, increasing energy efficiency and reducing waste and promoting renewable

San Juan County continues to examine local marijuana production regulations

By SCOTT RASMUSSEN Journal editor

While the looming specter of a moratorium may have vanished, the tug-of-war over marijuana production and whether impacts of the newly created industry warrant a new regimen of local land-use rules remains anything but resolved.

In a 3-0 decision, the San Juan County Council voted without dissent Jan. 12 to disengage from its pursuit of a would-be moratorium that by design targeted the processing of permits for marijuana-related production facilities. By default, however, that same moratorium may have also applied to the construction of any type of greenhouse, regardless of whatever crop it was intended to house, from tomatoes to basil, to bok choy.

Enforcement would have proved problematic, said Councilman Jamie Stephens, District 3, noting that construction of a so-called "temporary" greenhouse does not require a permit under existing regulations.

"A moratorium on something that doesn't have any regulations means nothing," said Stephens, who, six months ago, joined fellow councilman Bob Jarman, District 1, in moving discussion of a moratorium into the drafting of a possible ordinance.

The vote followed nearly 90 minutes of public testimony from a crowd that the council hearing room proved too small by itself to contain. Support for agricultural, in general, and for marijuana production in particular, was abundant from the 30-or-so people who testified, as was the call for tighter restrictions

on a laundry list of impacts from the fledgling industry.

Those unable to find a seat or room to stand watched a video feed and listened in from an adjacent conference room on proceedings of the first of two council-led workshops focused on the regulatory ins-and-outs, ups and downs, and the nuances, hurdles and economic promise of local marijuana production. The second workshop is slated for Jan. 26.

In initiating the vote to strike down the greenhouse moratorium, Councilman Rick Hughes, District-2, outspoken and steadfast in opposition to the would-be legislation, included that the council would also forgo pursuit of any moratorium regarding voter-approved

sources of energy. The $5 million Georgetown University Energy Prize challenges small-to medium-sized towns, cities and counties to rethink their energy use, and implement creative strategies to increase efficiency. To compete for the prize, local governments, residents, utilities and others will need to work together to demonstrate success in sustainably reducing energy consumption over a two-year period.

“San Juan County leaders, as well as mayors and executives across the county, have told us that this prize gives them the momentum to accelerate their energy efficiency efforts,” Dr. Francis Slakey, founder and executive director of the university energy prize, said in a press release. “These semifinalist communities are leading the way for other small and medium-sized cities and counties to secure their energy efficient future.”

San Juan County is one of three Pacific Northwest communities

Kids can develop coding skills at the Funhouse Commons The learn-to-code movement is moving toward teaching kids to code (program computers) at younger ages – even as young as preschool.

The Funhouse Commons will be debuting Dash and Dot, two new robots that teach coding to kids as young as 5 years old but also provide coding challenges for all age groups.

These interactive robots respond to sounds, navigate around a room avoiding obstacles and can even learn to play the xylophone. All this seems like great fun and is also secretly teaching coding skills to its young users.

Children are learning skills such as event-based programming, sequencing, conditionals and loops.

They will be offering small workshops this winter to their after-school participants.

“This is the first step in our plan for more intensive STEM-related programming across all age groups that The Funhouse wants to offer in the coming years,” says Executive Director Krista Bouchey.

STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math. Dash and Dot will open the door, but Bouchey says they are looking into LEGO bot-building and coding kits, and even more adventuresome activities as photo-drones, 3-D printers and regional STEM-focused competitions for kids as they move through the program.

Dash and Dot take direction from iPhones, iPads and other electronic devices. The Funhouse would gratefully accept donations of any of these devices from people who have upgraded and no longer want their old devices.

Also, islanders with robotics, math or coding experience who might be interested in volunteering for curriculum development or workshop time (an hour, a class or a project) should contact The Funhouse.

Visit www.funhousecommons.org to find out about our Bot Builders class coming in February. If you are interested in kids’ coding classes, engineering workshops or robotics, contact Krista at krista@thefunhouse.org.

House Republicans want separate education budget

by ALICE DAY

WNPA Olympia News Bureau

As the Washington State Legislature begins its 2015 session, the hottest issue is expected to be how to fund our K-12 education system.

In its 2012 McCleary decision, the Supreme Court ruled that Washington state was not amply funding basic education under the state Constitution, and that it had to do so or face court sanctions.

With a Democratic governor, a reduced Democratic majority in the House and a slight Republican majority in the Senate, political power is balanced in Olympia and all eyes are on education funding.

A bill being touted as “Fund Education First,” would create a separate budget for education—one that does not rely on new tax sources. HB 1001, sponsored by seven Republican representatives, is the latest version of a proposal that has been tossed around Olympia since 2006.

“The premise of the bill is to ensure that we do an education budget that is removed from the politics that go with our budget process,” said Rep. Drew MacEwen, R-Union, prime sponsor of the bill.

Washington’s general fund budget is divided into

three: transportation, operating and capital. By separating education from the operating budget, MacEwen says the K-12 budget would be prioritized in a timely fashion that not only fulfills the McCleary mandate, but also give school districts enough time to make staffing decisions.

“They can’t plan for the upcoming year until we have finished our budget and signed it into law,” MacEwen said. “Sometimes it leaves them with 45 to 60 days to implement, and I just think that’s a very unfortunate scenario to put our school districts in.”

It’s uncertain how this proposal will fare against Gov. Jay Inslee’s tax package, which is a key component of his funding proposal for K-12 education. However, Republicans say that overall budget reform is necessary.

“If the Legislature decides it needs to create revenue by raising taxes, it can do that, it just can’t hold up the process of the K-12 budget by debating the merits of a tax change,” MacEwen said.

At a press conference in Olympia on Jan. 8, Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman Andy Hill, R-Redmond, said the most recent revenue forecast indicates that Washington has an additional $5 billion

360.376.4500

that could be spent on K-12 education.

David Schumacher, director of the state Office of Financial Management and Inslee’s budget director, says the $5 billion increase in the proposed budget is necessary. The increase from $34.4 billion to $39.4 billion is needed to compensate for what he describes as the overall structural budget problem that Washington faces and does not provide enough for education funding.

Schumacher said almost $3 billion of the $5 billion in projected revenue is covered by growth in the budget.

In other words, it will cost almost $3 billion to pay for everything in the underlying budget and to continue doing so in the future.

Schumacher also said that after adding in the cost of state mandated programs like K-12 obligations, funding for mental health, the transportation package, and the recent voter-approved initiative to reduce classroom sizes, the state, would still experience a $2.5 billion shortfall.

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Ross Hunter, D-Medina, also noted that the classsize initiative may have an affect on education budgeting, and that the projected number needed to fulfill the McCleary obligation isn’t finalized and could change.

“Our revenues are up 8 percent and we have not changed anything tax wise; this is through sheer economic growth,” MacEwen said.

In the same press conference last week, Inslee responded by saying that “it is difficult for me to see how someone can argue we don’t have a deficit in educational funding when we have a contempt citation for the first time in Washington history against Washington state,” referring to the Supreme Court’s mandate following its McCleary decision.

Inslee’s proposed tax package, which he rolled out in December as part of his 2015-17 biennial budget, will raise a total of $1.5 billion. It creates a 7 percent tax on capital gains, taxes

carbon emissions through the Carbon Pollution Accountability Act, taxes trade-ins of vehicles valued over $10,000 and adds a 50-cent tax on cigarettes and extends that tax to e-cigarettes and vaping products.

Hill strongly voiced his disapproval of Inslee’s proposed capital-gains tax, arguing that it’s not a reliable source of revenue.

Inslee addressed that concern by saying that 43 other states have already implemented a long-term capitalgains tax that has proven successful in supporting education.

He acknowledged that relying on a capital-gains tax as the only source of financing is a bad idea. Instead, because Washington has various tax systems in place—sales tax, property

tax, business-and-occupation tax and a carbon pollution tax that he plans to implement – the additional tax systems would stabilize and not succumb to volatility.

Inslee said he wants to avoid increasing the tax burden on consumers in order to boost education spending.

Given the state Supreme Court directive that legislators fully fund K-12 education, both parties must address their differences and work together to find a stable funding source for K-12 education, legislators agree.

“I’m not saying my way is the only way,” MacEwen said. “I’m open to modifying and making changes to it. But let’s get the process going.”

Editorial

To the County: stop impeding Editor: to Sen. Ranker marijuana production Thanks for guest column

W

e are disappointed with the direction that San Juan County is taking in regard to cannabis farming.

San Juan Sun Grown, a producer located on San Juan Island, has become the poster child for regulatory hurdles after it shut down operations in mid-December. Company owner David Rice said the cost of looming legal battles and weight of regulatory uncertainty proved too much for the fledgling enterprise to overcome.

In early December, the county hearings examiner overturned San Juan Sun Grown’s land-use permit and revoked its building permit, ruling that county planners erred by not adequately evaluating impacts of the facility on surrounding properties.

In the decision, prompted by an appeal filed by neighbors of the grow operation, the examiner cited noise, odor, traffic and pesticide use as the kind of impacts that required better evaluation. The neighbors say the lawsuit over the use of Fieldstone Road, a privately owned and shared gravel driveway, will proceed even if the operation is said to have shut down. The dispute centers on an easement that reportedly prohibits commercial use of the shared road.

Meanwhile, on Jan. 12, the San Juan County Council held a workshop to consider whether to impose a six-month “emergency” moratorium on the processing of land-use and building permits for marijuanarelated facilities. Council members have raised concerns about local rules not being able to safeguard against impacts of pot production’s new frontier. Thankfully, in a 3-0 decision, the council voted to disengage from its pursuit of the moratorium – but primarily because it would have also targeted greenhouses, not just marijuana production.

Though the moratorium is off the table, the potential of a new regulatory regime for marijuana grow operations is not. The council is expected to receive updated information from planning staff and the agricultural resources committee at a Jan. 26 workshop. We applaud Councilman Rick Hughes of Orcas for standing in opposition of any new pot-related legislation that would hamper marijuana production, but we’re wondering what the other two council members are thinking.

It’s been two years since voters approved state Initiative 502, which legalized the cultivation, production, sale and recreational use of marijuana by adults. Yet the council chooses now, after islanders have put in months of hard work to get enterprises off the ground, to consider new rules? We are not expecting to see dozens of pot farms popping up all over the county. We feel the impact will be minimal.

Most can agree that sustaining local farms is good for the land, the community and local commerce. We are a county that is deeply rooted in agriculture. We give farmers incentives like “open space” tax breaks, but we won’t support a potentially lucrative new crop because of noise, odor and traffic concerns? The smell of pot is less odoriferous than chicken or steer manure.

The ins-and-out of the marijuana industry are well known. The steps that the council would need to take to enact new regulations are not overly burdensome, but we don’t think that is actually the point. It’s time to accept that the production and sale of marijuana is legal in Washington state.

This is just one more way that San Juan County can develop its agricultural foothold – if our government can get out of the way and let this new chapter unfold.

I greatly appreciated the guest column by State Senator Kevin Ranker in the Jan. 14 issue of The Islands’ Sounder. I am in agreement with Senator Ranker that top priorities for the current legislative session include a balanced budget that protects education and other critical programs, protecting access to contraception and family planning, making polluting industries financially accountable and regulating the transport of hazardous materials. I hope that Senator Ranker will add reforming our criminal justice system to his list of top priorities. There will be several bills before the legislature this year aimed at replacing costly incarceration through drug treatment, job training and education. The senator’s support of these measures will go a long way toward seeing them enacted into law.

I urge The Islands’ Sounder to invite our representatives, Kristine Lytton of Anacortes and Jeff Morris of Mount Vernon, to share their views and priorities in guest columns in the near future. I urge all islanders to keep in touch with our

Spirit of abundance Every YMCA program, including summer camp at Orkila, comes with the promise that, “All are welcome. Financial assistance is available.”

This promise affords every child the opportunity to live in community with a close-knit group of peers, engage with positive adult role models, gain self-confidence and friendship skills and learn both independence and interdependence.

Last week 20 volunteers and their families gathered to “kick off ” the Annual Campaign, the effort that brings to life that promise of financial assistance. The positive energy and can-do spirit in the room was unmistakable.

We’d like to thank everyone who takes part in the Annual Campaign each year. Especially to the captains and the many campaigners who make the month of pledging possible: It’s all possible because of you!

In the next month, when a volunteer asks you to support kids in this way, please give generously.

Legion post 93 member drive

The American Legion Post #93 is holding a membership drive on Saturday, Jan. 24, 2015, at the post home, 793 Crescent Beach Dr. from 3 – 10 p.m. The public is invited to visit the post and talk with members of the Post, Auxiliary and Sons units.

The American Legion Post members are veterans who have served in the military during recognized military action periods. The Orcas American Legion was chartered in September, 1934. The post is very active in providing support to veterans and the various organizations that provide services to the veterans.

They are active in the community and award two to four scholarships each year to graduating seniors. Their major fundraisers are the annual Fishing Derby and the annual Turkey Shoot. The legion also hosts the monthly Pancake Breakfast (the last Sunday of every month except December). These fundraisers provide the needed dollars for the ongoing veteran support programs and the annual scholarship awards.

The American Legion auxiliary members are wives, mothers, grandmothers, daughters, granddaughters, great granddaughters and sisters of veterans eligible to belong to an American Legion Post. The Orcas American Legion Auxiliary Unit #93 was chartered on Feb. 20, 1935.

The primary function of this group of women is to assist the American Legion Post #93 in their endeavors and to provide aid to other veterans. The auxiliary is also involved in many other activities throughout the year, both locally and at the state level.

Their other primary fundraisers include the annual Christmas Bazaar and Basket Raffle. These events provide the funds for their local projects (Kaleidoscope, Orcas Island Mercy Flight Fuel Fund, Orcas Rec Program) as well as for the veteran support activities (Veterans Hospital Gift Shops, Fisher Houses, USOs and Canteen Books). The auxiliary also has an ad program each year to help fund the three to five scholarships they award each year.

The Sons of the American Legion members are men that have served in the military in non-war periods or who have a parent or grandparent that have served during recognized military action periods. The Orcas S.A.L. Squadron #93 was chartered in November 2002.

The Sons host various fundraisers throughout the year to give help and support to the community and the post. Some of these events have been bingo, outpost BBQs and dinners.

Each year they make two trips to the mainland to purchase shoes for Orcas children; 80-plus pairs each trip.

All three units have members in the Color Guard, which serves at memorial services and funerals, marching in parades and provides support for other veteran activities.

Questions about the reservation system Last fall I attended a Ferry Reservation Information Meeting.

I asked the question, “How much is it going to cost to implement the reservation program?”

They felt that the anticipated chaos at Anacortes would require a new management

position to handle the disorder and confusion trying to get the vehicles through the tollbooth and into the proper lines.

They would also require additional staff to man the tollbooths.

Wrong answer!

Low bidder to install a new tollbooth at MP55.67 SR 20 Spur for $199,537,370 was Flatiron West, Inc. in Benicia, Calif., on July 16, 2014. Two other Washington companies bid $214.9 and $249.8 million.

The partial list of the work to be done is: removing existing tollbooth, 600 LF controlled blasting, 300 CY roadway excavation, 104 LF pre cast conc. barrier, 1390 LF paint line, toll booth.

The list goes on to include

a variety of communication cables and equipment, Hwy advisory radio transmitter system, variable mess. sign etc. Target start date 8/01/2014.

Historic marriage licenses ‘Death Cafe’ hosted at are now available online Orcas Senior Center

A treasure trove of genealogical information has been added to San Juan County’s website. Records of all marriages performed in San Juan County are now available online.

The oldest dates back to 1874, the first year in which a marriage was recorded here. The happy couple was Enoch May and Miss Elizabeth Caham, married Feb. 2, 1874, on Orcas Island. Edward D. Warbass, the auditor at that time, used his personal seal on

the document, “there being as yet no official seal provided for the office.”

Kira Sable, Customer Service Specialist in the auditor’s office, worked with the oldest of the county’s marriage records. Paper documents that hadn’t been touched for a 140 years were carefully unfolded and scanned, and the historical names within entered into an online database.

“It was a powerfully moving and deeply satisfying experience, working on

these marriage documents,” said Sable. “It was like seeing history unfold in front of me.”

Marriage laws have undergone a lot of changes since 1874. In the days of yore, a groom had to sign an affidavit stating that he was “not feeble-minded, an imbecile, insane, a common drunkard, not afflicted with pulmonary tuberculosis in its advanced stages, nor any contagious venereal disease.” The bride’s affidavit was exactly the same, but without the contagious venereal disease question.

(Apparently young ladies of that time were not deemed likely to have venereal disease.) The occupations of both parties were also requested on the application, and the answers for the women were often “spinster” or “farmer’s daughter.”

Many of the old records are hand-printed with beautiful calligraphy; others are scarcely legible.

There are several records of double weddings. Many brides were 16 years old.

The names are often familiar: Jensen, Guard, Boyce, Sundstrom and Wold. Mr. Jasper Coffelt and Miss Rozilla M. Richey, both of Lopez Island, were married by Thomas J. Weekes, minister of the Presbyterian Church on San Juan Island, on April 20, 1885. Their descendants are likely still on Lopez Island.

Take a moment to explore www.sanjuanco.com/auditor, and search for historical marriage licenses.

From the auditor page, click on “Search Recorded Documents” on the lefthand navigation bar. Then choose “Marriage License.”

I am proud to be working with Harald Schot, our new health/LPL financial planner.

Look forward to hearing from us soon!

The Death Cafe is a place to talk about death, accompanied by coffee, tea and cake.

Libby Garcia will facilitate the first such event on Orcas Island at the Orcas Senior Center on Saturday, Jan. 24 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Launched in Europe and reshaped in the United Kingdom by Jon Underwood, death cafes have spread into a global forum. The motto is “to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives.” Topics can be

as diverse as your interests regarding death, including: metaphysics, grief, hospice versus palliative care, physiology of death, advanced care directives, dying differently, death midwives, slow medicine, green burials and death with dignity. The death cafe offers a supportive open structure to encourage a rich community conversation about death – with cake.

For more information, visit www.deathcafe.com or contact Libby Garcia at 3763613. There is no charge for this event.

New carbon pollution bill Bills introduced by Sen. Kevin Ranker (D-Orcas Island) and Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon (D-Burien) on Jan. 16 will require the state’s major polluters to pay for producing carbon pollution.

“This not only addresses the need to protect our communities and children’s future, it also helps us meet our constitutional and moral obligation to

Washington’s one million school kids and will help address the needs of our failing roads and bridges,” Ranker said.

Over 70 governments across the globe have put a price on carbon as a way to decrease its abundancy in the environment. If passed into law, money collected from polluters would go toward funding basic education and transportation

projects throughout the state. The bill would cover an estimated 130 facilities and fuel distributors operating in the state. Sources that emit more than 25,000 metric tons of greenhouse gases per year will be subject to the fee. The bill excludes agriculture and waste management, as well as all emissions from biofuels and biomass.

ENERGY FROM 1

“Some are paying the highest prices for energy, some have the ambition to be carbon net-zero, but all communities share the goal of transforming America’s energy future,” he said.

Amy Saxe, OPALCO manager of energy savings and member services added, “OPALCO is excited to continue to partner with the community to develop and implement a holistic approach to addressing our county energy needs.

Efficiency and conservation are critical components of our energy resource pool.”

roughly four acres of landscape. That total, Bill added, does not account for the recent shutdown of a tier 3 facility on San Juan Island, San Juan Sun Grown, which eliminates one tier 3 facility and about one acre off the landscape.

The facilities come in an assortment of shapes, sizes and structures, and the amount of resources required by each are presumably unique, she said.

Jarman said that his intent, all along, has been to craft a set of "reasonable rules" that address impacts of marijuana production, but not at the expense of other crops cultivated in a greenhouse. He said such impacts, like noise, odor, illumination, water and power usage, and size or scale of an operation, could be addressed more effec-

tively if marijuana was treated differently than other agricultural products and that permits for its production facilities had a separate pathway for approval, such as requirement of a conditional-use permit.

"When we put greenhouses into the moratorium language I think it confused a lot of people and it just went down the wrong rabbit hole," Jarman said. "My intent all along was to try and look at the marijuana issue."

Though the moratorium is off the table, the potential of a new regulatory regime for marijuana grow operations is not. The council is expected to receive updated information from county planning staff and agricultural resources committee at the Jan. 26 workshop.

Bellevue, Bellingham and Anacortes were also selected to compete.

In noting the communities in the competition come from across the country, Slakey said the competitors together represent the nation’s political, social and economic diversity.

MARIJUANA FROM 1 state Initiative 502, which legalized the cultivation, production, sale and recreational use of marijuana by adults.

That proviso passed as well.

The state Liquor Control Board, the agency tasked with implementation and regulation of I-502, has so far issued a total of 16 licenses to marijuana grow operations in San Juan County, according to county Agricultural Resources Committee Coordinator Peggy Bill. That total consists of four tier 1 facilities (less than 2,000 square feet), nine tier 2 (maximum 7,000 square feet) and three tier 3 (maximum 21,000 square feet) and together cover

Lahari appoints new executive director The following was submitted by Don Webster, president of the Lahari Board of Directors.

Lahari, an Orcas Island 501(c)3 nonprofit organization is pleased to announce the appointment of Dennis King as the executive director.

King brings a wealth of experience in managing entrepreneurial organizations and a passion for solving problems that face seniors and the disabled on Orcas Island.

As Lahari’s executive director, King will focus on building the existing programs but also will investigate other opportunities for the group to serve the community’s senior and disabled residents. He will initially investigate possibilities to meet the needs of islanders who can no longer drive.

Long-time islanders may remember that Lahari was the name of the hospice facility that was built near Deer Harbor in 2004. A beautiful, peaceful location, its usage as a hospice facility was limited as independent islanders who required hospice care preferred the option of obtaining that service in their own homes.

Lahari set out to redefine the organization’s mission. The hospice facility had been designed to create the ability to pass through that end-of-life experience

Dennis King is the new executive director for Lahari. on Orcas Island.

The updated mission became “To provide education, resources and support to assist aged or infirm people with living on Orcas Island up to and including provision of hospice care.”

The organization believes it builds on the spirit of the original Lahari Hospice intent.

While they still provide on-island assistance to volunteers who provide in-home hospice care, the main focus is now on improving life for seniors and disabled individuals on Orcas Island. The Orcas Safe Homes Project is pro-

Page 7

viding free, no-obligation home safety evaluations for seniors, undertaking minor maintenance tasks and arranging for more substantial changes that will improve the safety for seniors in their homes.

Lahari has also been underwriting and organizing classroom and online Caregiver Training sessions for those in this profession as well as interested family and friends who provide some level of unpaid caregiving to their loved ones.

Lahari has identified other possible areas where they might be able to provide or assist in the development of services that will assist seniors and disabled with living on Orcas Island.

As executive director, Dennis will greatly enhance the group’s ability to provide existing services while also assessing other opportunities for projects that are aligned with our mission and have their meaningful impact.

Dennis can be reached at 1-888-685-1475 or Dennis.

Orcas continued rapid passing that kept the Loggers’ defense off balance and stretched the lead to 51-35 by the fourth quarter with the Orcas bench finishing the contest.

Assistant Coach Amber Paulsen said, “It was inspirational to see the girls play such great team ball. They had some of the best passing I have seen in them all year and were able to anticipate where their teammates would be. Great energy.”

Orcas scoring was led by Hannah Brunner-Gaydos with 20, Kilee Rogers 16 and Halle Thompson with 10.

Orcas faces tough league teams this week: Cedar Park, Mt. Vernon Christian and LaConner.

The Viking boys improved their league record to 4-3 after a couple hard-fought wins.

The theme presented by first-year head coach Corey Wiscomb was centered around “the next man up,” and no better time than last week defined the Vikings’ determination.

Christian Crusaders 75-50 for a league win Jan. 13.

“Once again we were hampered by junior leader Pasha Bullock sidelined with a knee injury,” said Wiscomb. “Regardless, the guys stepped up and executed a relentless full-court press that simply outran and out-hustled the Shoreline team. Sophomore Jordan Randolph led the way with 20 points and eight assists.”

On Jan. 16 the Vikings faced the Darrington Loggers at home for another key league win 61-40.

“With key players still sidelined due to injury, my younger players had to step up to take leading roles in the contest,” Wiscomb said. “Win or lose, I’m most proud to see young men becoming stronger players by taking more responsibility on the court when their team needs it most.

In the past few games three players have stepped up big time to help the team.

Jordan Randolph is playing really well right now. Steven Bodenhamer and Michael Chesher have stepped up their intensity and brought their game to a whole new level.”

The Vikings get tested this week with three league games starting with Cedar Park Christian.

Island Living

Giving back In honor of school board recognition month, the Sounder highlights the Orcas Island School Board Governor Jay Inslee proclaimed the month of January as School Board Recognition Month. This marks the 20th year of the annual observance initiated by the National School Boards Association in 1995. The Washington State School Directors’ Association, along with fellow educators and the broader community, take time in January to honor the 1,477 elected school board members from Washington’s 295 school districts.

All told, school directors in Washington state govern districts with more than one million students, a combined annual budget of nearly $12 billion, and employ well over 100,000 employees.

School board members play a crucial role in developing policies and making tough decisions on complex educational and social issues. These issues affect the entire state. They are also directly accountable to the citizens in their districts, serving as a vital link between members of the community and their schools.

Janet Brownell Why are you on the school board?

I fundamentally believe in the promise and potential of public education. Orcas has one of the best districts in the state. We have amazing teachers, principals, staff, students and parents. What we do here is an example of how the promise and potential of public education is a shining reality.

What do you do for fun?

I cook. I cook because I like to eat.

Tony Ghazel Why are you on the school board?

I believe that great education is what defines a community, and being on the school board allows me a unique opportunity to give back by helping to create programs where children and staff can succeed.

What do you do for fun?

I like to spend time with my wife and kids and also referee middle and high school soccer games.

Thank you for serving our community!

Scott Lancaster Why are you on the school board?

I have enjoyed the challenge and rewards of serving the kids, staff and community of the Orcas Island School District for the past 10 years and look forward to my next two. We don’t get paid in dollars for this work, but our pay day is every June when we celebrate all of our successes at the graduation ceremonies. None of this would be possible without the generosity and foresight of the Orcas Island community and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you!

What do you do for fun?

This school board position has been my “hobby” for the last 10 years, and I also love to cook and ski.

Chris Sutton Why are you on the school board?

I joined the school board because I figured it was my turn.

My father served on the school board when I was in school. I’m now the father, with kids in school, and decided to step up as a member of the community.

What do you do for fun?

Outside of my school board responsibility, I run my software company Smalldog Net Solutions.

I also helped launch the Doe Bay Internet Users Association which is providing Doe Bay area residents the fastest internet connections on Orcas. Outside of work I like to play Minecraft with my kids, Sam and Arla.

Director Robert Hall is holding auditions for “The Miracle Worker” in Orcas Center’s Black Box on Sunday, Jan. 25 from 2 to 4 p.m. and Monday, Jan. 26 from 6 to 8 p.m.

Pitied and badly spoiled by her wealthy Southern parents, Helen is not disciplined, so by age six she is a wild, angry, tantrumthrowing child.

The Kellers hire Anne Sullivan from New York City to serve as governess and teacher. Through

Anne’s fiery persistence and unflagging love, Helen learns to trust, discipline herself and use her hands to make signs to communicate. Helen and her family’s life are changed forever, and Helen lives on to change the world’s perception of the blind and deaf through her books and celebrity.

The first-ever Orcas Island Uke-a-palooza is a festival of all things ukulele. An extravaganza of local musicians, young and old, will be performing at Orcas Center on Saturday, Jan. 24 at 7:30 p.m.

Ukulele Festivals bring laughter, love and hope to children and adults throughout the world through the music of the ukulele. There are hundreds of festivals throughout the nation and Europe, attracting players and attendees of all ages.

In 1971, at a time when very few people were interested in the ukulele, Roy Sakuma organized the 1st Annual Ukulele Festival in Hawaii. It was Sakuma’s dream to present a free concert to show people that the ukulele could be played as a solo instrument of sophistication and virtuosity and not just a rhythm instrument for background music.

Today, the annual Ukulele Festival in Waikiki is now a summer tradition in Hawaii. It has grown internationally and is by far the largest ukulele festival of its kind in the world, with crowds of thousands, guest artists from around the world and a ukulele orchestra of over 800 students, mostly children.

And now we have Orcas Island’s contribution to the world of ukuleles, Uke-a-palooza!

Come and join the fun at Uke-a-palooza where the magic is in the music. There will be big ensemble numbers and many island (Orcas, Shaw, Crane, Guernsey) musicians, including Carl Berger, Jim Heller, Anita Orne, Gordon Koenig, Girls with Ukes and the Ukulele Kids.

Tickets for Uke-a-palooza are $10, $5 for students and may be purchased at www.orcascenter.org, by calling 3762281 ext. 1 or visiting the Orcas Center Box Office open Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from noon to 4 p.m.

The Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival has drummed up a special event to welcome runners on Saturday, Jan. 31 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Random Howse, and islanders are invited to join the fun.

Martin Lund will perform a mix of rock and roll, swing, jazz and blues, with his hand-picked quartet starting at 6 p.m.

Joining him are Gene Nery, guitar/vocals, Tony Morales, drums, and Dean Hodges, electric bass.

After the Orcas Island 25k race day, the dinner-theater style Random Howse, across from Sea View Theatre, is ready to welcome Rainshadow’s trail runners and friends for an evening of celebration.

Runners and non-runners can reserve a place at the table for this special evening by emailing joyce@oicmf.org or calling 3766636. The cost is $20 in advance or at the door. Early reservations are advised.

Pairing music with food will be chef Bill Patterson, who is offering a special menu, from $12 to $30, showcasing his famous rustic Italian cuisine.

Seating is limited, so make your reservations in advance. Visit www.oicmf.org.

JP and the OK Rhythm Boys benefit The Exchange JP and the OK Rhythm Boys will play a fundraising event for The Exchange on Jan. 30 in the Music Room at Rosario.

It will be a chance to hear some great music and donate to a great cause, say organizers.

JP and the OK Rhythm Boys features fine fiddling, swinging guitar, slapping bass and soaring three-part vocal harmonies.

And, if JP’s ripping fiddling, Anita’s sparkling guitar and Gordon’s thumping bass and velvet singing

aren’t enough for you, just wait, and “the boys” may hop onto mandolin, ukulele, banjo or musical saw for a tune or two.

A suggested donation of $15 gets you in (but it is, after all, a fundraiser, so more is welcome).

Winds of the Baroque concert Sand Dalton, a long-time Lopez Island resident, is one of the world’s most well-known makers and players of baroque oboes. Anna Marsh, who grew up in Tacoma, is in constant demand as one of the premier players of the baroque bassoon.

Baroque flutist Jeffrey Cohan has won two of the most prestigious awards for performers of early music and plays all over the globe. The three team up with harpsichordist Jonathan Oddie to present chamber music for wind instruments and harpsichord from the courts of Louis XIV, Louis XV and Frederick the Great in Winds of the Baroque on Thursday, Jan. 22, 2015 at 7 p.m. at Orcas Adventist Fellowship Church in Eastsound. The cost of tickets are $15, $20 or $25 suggested donation. Youth 18 and under are always free.

Artworks launches ‘Push La Danse De La Mer to Finish’ campaign on San Juan Island

By THE OLGA STRAWBERRY COUNCIL BOARD

The Artworks Building in Olga these days is like a beehive: all the activity is humming along inside, and we’re nearing the finish line. The historic strawberry barreling plant, before it was severely damaged by an arson fire in July, 2013, had been, for some 30 years, a destination for islanders and tourists alike, as well as a home for island artists and a place for friends to gather in a cozy little café.

Since April of this year, Sound Construction has worked diligently, scraping out ashes and burned areas and reconstructing the building. Now we’re less than two months away from striking the last nail in the last board that will finish the project. Take a look at our website to see a slideshow of the progress – and how far we’ve come at www. olgastrawberrycouncil.org

It has been a journey both rewarding and frustrating, both gratifying and challenging, and certainly a learning experience, but the Olga Strawberry Council board is happy to announce that the Artworks Cooperative, James Hardman Gallery and a sweet new cafe will be open for business the first of April.

Our biggest financial challenges have come from having to comply with requirements to retain the building’s historical designation, and having to build a fully operational, health department-approved cafe, which was not in the original plans.

Insurance payments, grants and donations from the community over the past 10 months have been amazing, and have provided the majority of the funding required to finish the construction. We are in the final stretch and once again

asking for your help to put us over the top.

We need to raise $30,000 from the community to receive a $30,000 matching grant from a private donor

by Feb. 28. Donations of any size will get it done.

Simply go to www.olgastrawberrycouncil.org and click on “Donate.” Or send a check payable to OSC to PO Box 214, Olga WA 98279. OSC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and all donations are fully taxdeductible.

Please feel free to send emails to all your friends, use Facebook, Twitter, whatever you are comfortable with to energize the greater audience for this “Push to Finish” campaign for the Artworks Building!

The OSC Board is truly grateful for our amazing community, and its enduring support of our beautiful historic building and the businesses it supports.

By SCOTT RASMUSSEN Journal editor

While the first weekend in February may still seem far away, it generally pays off to plan ahead.

With the return of La Danse De La Mer bounding ever-so steadily forward, there’s no better time than now to grab your calendar and set aside Feb. 7 at 7:30 p.m. It’s a Saturday, for one unique, extraordinary and beguiling evening of entertainment.

That’s the date that San Juan Island’s first professional contemporary ballet company will spring onto the San Juan Community Theatre main stage and into action to present its all-original adult fairy tale, entitled “Prince of the Rain Realm,” first in a threepart saga starring world-renown dancers Danny and Sylvain Boulet, ballerina Caitlin Ross and Lopez Island-based contemporary dancer Kerry Ratza.

The ferry schedule is conducive for both Orcas and Lopez residents to attend the performance.

Here’s how La Danse De La Mar choreographer and director Lena Downes describes it: “This ballet is all about what makes ‘Grimm’s Fairy Tales’ so wonderful, with a good prince versus a dark lord theme.

If you like Tolkien’s ‘Ring,’ ‘Harry Potter’

or even Wagner’s ‘Ring,’ you’ll love this fantastical production.”

Unlike other ballets commonly performed in the holiday season, “Prince of the Rain Realm” features “over-the-top” adult romance, a dazzling sword fight, music ranging from Pink Floyd to Mozart and, of course, provocative performances by some of the region’s most gifted dancers.

“This is not the Nutcracker,” says Downes, who choreographed the show along with assistant Michael Blue. “If you like wild, way out there, you’ll love this show.”

If James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim’s “Into the Woods” was set to dance, “Rain Realm” might just be it.

While Rain Realm has something for everyone, Downes cautions that the show does contain adult-themed scenes, and that parental guidance is suggested.

To top it all off, you can mingle with cast and crew at a post-performance party hosted by Tops’l, above Cask and Schooner Restaurant.

Party-goers are encouraged to “dress up” in favorite costumes and bring props as well. For more information about the upcoming show and ticket purchases, visit www.ladansedelamer.com or www.sjctheatre.org.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

Hi, I’m Molly. Suki, last week’s pet of the week urged me to talk to you. She said I should stop being so shy and show you how pretty I am, at least in print. My person, sadly had to give me up. I want to find a quiet home to go to soon because there’s a little too much busyness around here. Please come, any day from 2 to 5 p.m., call 376-6777, or see us all on www.orcaspets.org.
