Obama’s children ‘adopt’ orca

Nunez not leaving

by CALI BAGBY Assistant editor

Benjamin Nunez Marquez is not going to be deported.

At least, not anytime soon.

Last year, Marquez, known on the island as Nunez, was granted a stay of deportation for another year by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement until May 6, 2015.

Now he has received work authorization issued from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but he is not eligible for a green card or citizenship, and he may eventually have to return to Mexico.

For nearly 15 years, Nunez has worked as a sawyer for Jack and Jan Helsell of Westsound Lumber Company on Orcas Island. In 2008, while taking his ailing 80-yearold neighbor Natalie White to the hospital in Anacortes, Nunez was picked up by Customs and Border Patrol. Lacking proper immigra-

Gary Weiss has witnessed firsthand how having friends in high places can help further an important cause.

And that’s a big reason why the photographs of two Southern resident killer whales are likely tacked up on a wall somewhere in the White House by now, or perhaps on the refrigerator.

The daughters of the First Family of the United States, Malia and Sasha Obama, recently became united with two members of J-pod through the Friday Harbor Whale Museum’s Orca Adoption Program. Dr. Weiss presented a pair of adoption certificates and accompanying memorabilia to the president as gifts for his daughters at a May 27 roundtable discussion in Washington, D.C. The gifts are intended to help raise the profile of the plight of the Southern residents and underscore how breaching four dams on the Lower Snake River is the swiftest course of action to provide the endangered population with a greater abundance of food, Chinook salmon in particular, Weiss said.

“I wouldn’t say it had really been on his radar before,” he said of the president’s familiarity with issues related to salmon and the Snake River dams. “But he did seem very interested and there is a sense that it’s something he might be able to do through an executive order.”

Customized and enhanced by local orca whale advocate Monika Wieland, the “adoption papers” are tailor-made for both girls. The two adoptees, both females, share the same birth year with each girl, respectively. Seventeen-year-old Malia’s adoptive killer whale is J-35, born in 1998, and 14-yearold Sasha’s is J-17, born in 2001.

FATHER’S DAY PROFILE Kelly Toombs of Orcas Island

by CALI BAGBY Assistant editor

Outgoing. Oddball. Old soul. And above all supportive.

These are the words Maggie, 14, and Emily, 16, use to describe their father Kelly Toombs.

“He always tries to help,” said Maggie. “And gives us advice.”

From sailing to scholastics to sports and theater, Kelly has one priority for his family: stay busy.

“Never give them a reason to be bored,” he said.

Kelly, an avid sailor, started his girls on the water early when the kids were just one and three. While Maggie took to sailing as one of her main passions, Emily stayed on land playing sports like basketball, volleyball and now golf.

Their main description of their father is that

he is supportive whether it comes to attending games or coaching teams.

“Both of our parents are very supportive,” said Maggie about her father and her mother Kimberly Toombs.

As a coach, Maggie said he provided a new perspective to the game.

Kelly, on the other hand, described – with a laugh – his coaching philosophy as repetitive.

In addition to athletics, the Toombs have brought their talents to the stage.

This year Kelly performed in two different shows with his daughters: “Across the Universe” at Orcas Center and “PlayFest” at the Grange.

“It was fun. They had their own experience,” said Kelly. “I thought it was a fantastic new experience.”

Wednesday, June 10, 2015• The Islands’ Sounder

Passing on the freedom ‘Letterland’ parade Maelle Comrie, a junior at the Orcas Christian School, wrote the following piece for a school project.

by MAELLE COMRIE Special to the Sounder

Did you know that today there are 21-36 million people enslaved around our modern world? Did you know that means there are more slaves today than there ever were before? Did you know that human trafficking, only one of many forms of slavery, affects 2.4 million people worldwide each year?

And did you know that out of these people, 80 percent are female and 70 percent are forced into the sex trade? Were you also aware that the United States alone has a rate of 14,000 to 17,500 persons trafficked annually?

Do you know what bonded slavery is? A bonded slave is someone enslaved while trying to work off a debt, but with pay so low and interest rates so high, entire

families can be enslaved for generations. Did you know bonded slavery is the most common form of slavery, affecting 14-20 million people in 2004? Did you know that in 2013 about 168 million children were enslaved and/or working in hazardous surroundings globally?

Have you ever heard of the organ trade? Did you know that some people are even abducted and murdered so someone can sell their major organs? Did you know there are domestic labourers even in the U.S.?

And there's so much more!

Now you're probably wondering, considering all this, why hasn't someone done something? There are many reasons. Firstly, slavery is hard to find, and hard to prove. In 2003, out of the tens of thousands of slaves in the U.S., only nine cases were prosecuted. Secondly, slaves are cheap to obtain and cheap to maintain. In Sudan, one slave can cost about $33. Thirdly, it's so

widespread, it just makes it that much harder to stamp out. Fourthly, governments can be corrupt and/or lack the resources to make much of a difference.

And finally, but certainly not the least, so few are really aware of the truth, and you can't stop what you don't know about. I don't know how much of the above info you personally know, but I do know that most of you who read this are surprised at something.

This makes passing the word the most important and effective thing a person can do. Anyone with a Facebook account can do it.

If we all participated, imagine the effect it could have on awakening people to the truth. Because did you know that although there are more slaves today than at any other time in history, there are also less in proportion to the world's population than ever before?

And, according to Benjamin Skinner, “within a generation, we can wipe the crime of slavery from the face of the earth.”

The Orcas Elementary kindergarten class participated in the annual Letterland Parade last week. They met at the maple tree for a picture, went through the elementary and middle school and then headed into town singing the ABC song. The group visited Teezers and then went on to Island Market for a flash mob. After that the kids traveled up to the public library, snaked through the rows and then came back to the school.

EDC to hold luncheon Noted economists Dr. Hart Hodges and Dr. Anneliese Vance-Sherman will be featured guest speakers at the Economic Development Council’s annual “Economics” luncheon.

Presentations by Hodges and Vance-Sherman will explore the past, present and future of the regional economy, as well as present trends in employment, industry and sales data.

Hodges, director of Western Washington University's Center for Economic and Business Research, will also lead a discussion about shaping the islands' economy. Vance-Sherman is a Washington state regional labor economist.

The annual luncheon, now in its sixth year, is Wednesday, June 17 at Brickworks, 120 Nichols Street in Friday Harbor, 11:30 to 1:30 p.m. Space is limited; tickets, $20, are available at the EDC website, www.sanjuansedc.org.

News from Orcas Recycling The following is from the Orcas Recycling Services newsletter.

We’re thrilled to announce the hiring of Ken Katz as a project manager for the new Exchange rebuild!

Ken is vice president of the Orcas Food Co-Op’s board, a member of the Eastsound Planning Review Committee and a member of the Eastsound Design Review Subcommittee. Katz is an incredible asset to the team. He did a terrific job building the Golden Tree Hostel and, more recently, in getting the food co-op up and running. That experience will serve him (and us) well.

Other aspects of the Exchange project continue to move forward – if perhaps at a bureaucratic rate. Our road construction permit is working its way through San Juan County, and from there it goes to the State Department of Ecology, which can take five to six weeks for approval.

Our building design team is hard at work preparing drawings for building permits. We plan to have these in place when the road

Thank you for helping us to keep the project moving along – consider making a tax-deductible donation to help rebuild The Exchange.

Household hazardous waste drop-off

Toxic, flammable, corrosive or reactive materials are known as hazardous waste and should never be thrown in the garbage.

Proper disposal is imperative for a clean environment and to avoid illnesses.

The annual free Hazardous Waste Collection day is June 27 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Businesses are encouraged to participate but need to call ahead. Learn what hazardous items are accepted.

Orcas is a ton more beautiful

The San Juans are one of the last places in the U.S. where it is not a common sight to see litter on the roadsides. Islanders and visitors alike work hard each year to see that the pristine beauty of our communities continues. The tallies are in for the collective yield of litter gathered by all participating islands during the Great Islands Cleanup.

A.R.T. Show

Mark your calendar for the 15th annual A.R.T. Show! The opening reception is Friday, June 12 from 5 to 8 p.m. followed by an exhibition running June 12-July 16. At the opening reception, there will be wine and cheese. This is a free event but donations are appreciated. Any funds raised will benefit the rebuild of the new Exchange reuse facility. Find out more about the event and RSVP.

One of Martin Lund’s favorite things to do is make music and share it with the community he calls home.

And his 14th annual One World Music Celebration is an island tradition.

“I hope people walk out with music in their heart,” he said.

The concerts will be on Friday and Saturday, June 19 and 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Orcas Center.

The show will take audience members on a tour of Hollywood through the years, revisiting classic songs from film.

“This year’s theme is just the cat’s meow,” Lund said.

“I am fascinated with the way music goes to picture, and how it affects the way we feel when watching a movie. The job of a film composer is one of the best on earth: you get to work magic.”

Lund, who plays the clarinet, saxophone, flute and piano, brings together renowned musicians every June for the show.

The lineup will feature Orcas musicians Grace McCune, Gene Nery, Charlie Porter, Tony Morales, Demitri Stankevich, Craig Canine, Gregory Books and the group Almost Classical (Emy and Lisa Carter and Paris Wilson). They are joined by Moqui Graham and Broadway singer and dancer Noah Racey.

“Noah is a wonderful person and a major talent,” Lund said.

And of course Lund, who has played with some of the great blues artists of our time and worked in the studios of Los Angeles as a composer, arranger and musician, will be a part of the festivities.

As always, net proceeds from the One World Music Celebration benefit the Funhouse Commons.

“The Funhouse is a great resource for kids,” Lund said. “I want to do what I

Tickets are available from the Orcas Center Box Office at 376-ACT1 and online at www.orcascenter.org.

Lund says the show will have “many old favorites, standards, and maybe a few surprises.” His criteria was

simple: great songs from the movies.

There will be scores from “Casablanca,” “Gone With the Wind,” “Chariots of Fire,” “The Wizard Of Oz,” “Music Man” and more.

“People will be moved.

Poison hemlock in the county Appraisal Fair,

by SAN JUAN COUNTY NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL PROGRAM STAFF

In 2009, 17 poison hemlock exposures were recorded by the Washington Poison Center. In 2010, a Bellingham man was hospitalized after having eaten what looked like a baby carrot growing in his garden.

The same year a Tacoma woman died after accidently ingesting this deadly plant.

This year, the Washington Poison Center reports it has already treated 10 people who have eaten this highly toxic plant.

Poison hemlock is a potently poisonous member of the parsley family, and when young, is easily confused with other more benign members of this family, such as Queen Anne’s lace, wild chervil or domestic carrot. It may be distinguished chiefly by its lacey, fern-like leaves, its height (up to 10 feet), its purple-blotched stalk and

unpleasant odor. Poison hemlock’s stems and leaves are smooth and hairless, whereas those of Queen Anne’s lace are hairy.

All parts of the plant are poisonous and only small amounts can sicken or kill both humans and animals.

STORM CLEANUP // TREE WORK // NATIVE LANDSCAPE SERVICE

In ancient Greece, hemlock was a classic executioner’s posion and was used to execute Socrates. Its toxic alkaloids initially will cause stimulation followed by severe depression of the central nervous system, resulting in death by respiratory paralysis. Symptoms may appear one to three hours after ingestion, and include nausea, vomiting, dilation of the pupils, confusion, sweating and rapid heartbeat. There is no antidote. Touching the plant may cause skin reactions in some people (Turner et al 1991*).

Cattle are the most susceptible of livestock but all classes of animals are affected by this plant’s toxicity. Poison hemlock can also cause birth defects when consumed by pregnant animals. Animals will normally avoid fresh plants, however, when dried, poison hemlock loses its characteristic “mousey” odor, becoming more palatable, but remaining toxic.

Poison hemlock is a Class B designate noxious weed in San Juan County, and control is required. Although commonly seen along roadsides, and in open fields on the mainland, it is only sparsely scattered throughout the islands. It has been found in gardens, pastures, gravel pits and in other disturbed areas. On San Juan Island, it was discovered

inside a fenced community garden growing next to carrots, and on Shaw, it was found growing just outside a garden. It thrives in cool, moist climates, making it well adapted to the climate of the San Juan Islands.

Wear protective clothing (including a long-sleeved shirt, gloves and eye protection) when working with poison hemlock. In the winter and early spring, rosettes and bolting plants can be dug out. Mature plants can be cut or mowed when they are in flower but before all flowers completely open. If cut earlier, the plants will regrow. Remove all cut plants from gardens, pastures and play areas, since cut plants remain poisonous and chemicals leaching from the decomposing plants suppress the regrowth of other vegetation. Do not burn the remains, as the smoke may be toxic. Applying a layer of cardboard will suppress poison hemlock and its seed bank, which should only be viable for about three years. For chemical control, a glyphosate product can be applied with a brush or spot sprayed on individual rosettes. If you choose to use an herbicide, follow label instructions. The label is the law.

To help keep poison hemlock from spreading further in the islands, ask for noxious weed-free soil and gravel. If you wish further information, or would like to schedule a free site inspection for noxious weeds, please call either Judy Jackson or Jason Ontjes at the County Noxious Weed Control Program office at 376-3499. * Nancy J Turner & Adam F.

Historical Days coming up The Orcas Island Historical Museum will again be holding its annual Historical Days Fair this July 3 on the Eastsound Village Green.

This year’s Historical Days Fair will include an Antiques Roadshow-inspired “Appraisal Fair.” There will be four certified appraisers from the greater Seattle area. Bette Belle of Guildmark Appraisal and Estate Services, LLC, Sarahlynn Scheneck of Sound Estate Management, Greg Brown of Greg C. Brown and Associates and Mike Odell from Auction Assets and Appraisals. With four generalist appraisers whose expertise ranges from Northwest coast native art and antique quilts to Asian art and antiques and ceramics, there is an endless list of items that can be appraised. There is a fee of $15 associated with each item being appraised. Appointments are suggested due to limited spaces; each appointment will run 10 to 15 minutes.

Search your attics, dust off your family heirlooms and join them on July 3. For questions or to make an appointment, call Maggie Vinson in the museum office at 376-4849 or email her at info@orcasmuseums.org.

Along with the Appraisal Fair the museum will again be hosting the annual hot dog stand. Don’t forget to purchase a hot dog and a soft drink. There will also be a beer garden featuring Island Hoppin’ Brewery beer. This year they are welcoming the Parks and Rec Program into the fold; they will be hosting a number of family friendly games. And last but certainly not least do not miss the annual Pie Booth on the July 4th. Get your slice of homemade pie with a scoop of ice cream to enjoy while you watch the parade.

The museum’s Antiques Auction will be held later this summer. The date has yet to be announced.

OPAL houses to be moved On Tuesday morning, June 16, two OPAL recycled houses will be moved through the Eastsound Airport and west on Mt. Baker Road before arriving at their destinations on Mountain View Street and Pooh Place (off Blanchard Road). They will complete the route in the early morning hours, hopefully by 6 a.m.

The barge bringing the houses to Orcas will arrive at the North Beach area on Monday, with one house offloading about 6 p.m. and the other coming off around midnight in order to take advantage of the tides, according to a spokesperson for Nickel Bros. House Moving.

Nickel Bros. will transport the houses for OPAL Community Land Trust.

Jeanne Beck, OPAL project manager, reminds all islanders, “The greatest opportunity for impact on traffic will be at about 4 to 6 a.m. Tuesday on Mt. Baker Road, Mountain View

Street, Blanchard Road or Pooh Place for a short time.

Blanchard may be blocked for 30 minutes while the house is being maneuvered into its destination.”

The house moves may cause temporary traffic slow-downs. If there are cars waiting to pass on the route, Nickel Bros. will stop in places where it is possible to let people go around.

Please remember these travel times are approximate.

“We are hoping to get the word out to as many as possible that these moves will happen Tuesday morning,” said Lisa Byers, OPAL executive director. “We want to be especially sensitive to people who may be on their way to early ferries or the airport.”

The residences will be renovated to provide permanently affordable homes for the island community.

OPAL is delighted to recycle two more houses, bringing the total moved and renovated by OPAL to date to 10.

Taylor and Sara Waugh (the Lopez Team). All have plans to continue in some form of leadership service within their communities. Since LSJI’s beginnings in 2004, more than 140 islanders have graduated from this program.

LSJI fosters leadership skills, such as facilitation and collaborative problem solving, and gives county residents the opportunity to better understand local

systems and how they interconnect with: governance, economics, social services, history and culture, education, and the environment.

Participants learn within a cohort setting through a series of challenge days and retreats.Applications for Cohort XII will be available starting in August with open houses planned on each island in early fall. For more information on LSJI, visit www.lsji.org.

Jacqlynn Zier graduates Jacqlynn Carol Zier, pictured at left, graduated from Colgate University, New York this spring.

Zier was a molecular biology major and received honors in that field of study.

Senior Center. Children’s House revitalized the project this year as a fundraiser to support its own early learning program and hopes to raise $10,000 through sales of the books priced at $20 each.

Executive Director Susan Anderson notes many of the businesses featured in the book are owned by people who have children or

grandchildren at Children’s House or they have attended Children’s House themselves. “It seemed a natural way for us to support both our families and community, as well. With the use of just one or two coupons, the book pays for itself.”

Additional details on where to buy the books and a sample copy is available at www.oich.org.

What will happen to quarters?

A jar of quarters was left anonymously at Island Market with the following message: “We hope the Sounder will put these on the stage at the park. And please let us know what happens to our friends’ quarters, unless my friend is right and they stay there forever.”

So the Sounder staff has decided to try an experiment by placing this jar of quarters on the stage at the Eastsound Village Park on Wednesday, June 10. We will monitor the quarters to see what will happen. Will people add or take away quarters from the jar? Will the jar disappear? Send us your thoughts to editor@islandssounder.com.

Fireworks are on the way – be safe

T

hey glisten across the night sky and symbolize Independence Day. But they are also dangerous when handled by amateurs.

We would like to remind everyone that personal fireworks are not allowed anywhere in our beautiful county. The use of any type of personal fireworks presents a real danger of injury and fire.

The so-called “Safe and Sane” fireworks sold on the mainland are intended to be used in the communities where they are purchased.

Most of the fireworks sold on reservations are not legal anywhere else in the state.

There will be some amazing fireworks shows presented by professional pyrotechnicians throughout San Juan County. Fireworks shows are planned at Roche Harbor, Friday Harbor, Eastsound, Deer Harbor and Lopez Island. Residents and visitors alike enjoy these shows.

Speaking of the professional shows, the Orcas Chamber is in need of donations to help fund its fireworks display on July 4 over the waters of East Sound.

The cost of putting on a fireworks show with Western Display Fireworks has increased over the years. With stricter marine and Homeland Security regulations and with a barge rental charge, the chamber can no longer absorb the $14,000 price tag into its normal operations budget.

There are several sponsorship levels: gold ($500-plus), silver ($250plus) and bronze ($100-plus). With a sponsorship your name is included in an Islands’ Sounder thank you ad, the chamber blast, an annual meeting announcement and Facebook and other social media posts as well as recognition at July 5 Community Parade. To donate call 376-2273 or email info@orcasislandchamber.com. Donations can also be mailed to the Chamber of Commerce (PO Box 252, Eastsound) or dropped off at 65 North Beach Road.

In addition, the Orcas Island Community Foundation has a fund for donations. Send in a check made payable to OICF, PO Box 1496, Eastsound, WA 98245, or donate at http://bit.ly/orcasfireworks.

So even if you have $10 or $20 to spare, it will go a long way to helping us keep this Orcas Island tradition alive. And when we have a stunning show to watch, who needs illegal fireworks?

Support United Way Investing in our community is part of the United Way mission, and it shows here in the San Juan Islands. The dollars that United Way provide to support island programs is an investment in the human assets of our community.

By continuing the commitment to keep 98 percent of all United Way contributions right here in San Juan County, they are invested in bringing people and resources together to forge smart, strategic solutions to our community’s most critical needs.

One program United Way supports locally is the Orcas Island Primary Intervention Program. PIP is specifically designed to provide a nurturing, supportive environment that allows children to feel safe, to learn about themselves, identify feelings, develop interpersonal skills and increase self-esteem. The result: resiliency and success in their life. Children who experience success and positive social development are much more likely to complete their education, make positive lifestyle choices and become healthy adults.

With the assistance of United Way, PIP has celebrated over 21 years of service to our island public school. On Orcas Island, approxi-

Summer fire New art show at The Gallery risk is high The following was submitted by Orcas Fire and Rescue.

Summer time is upon us here on Orcas Island. With the sun shining, temperatures maintaining and an unusually dry winter throughout the state, we are set for a higher than normal fire risk this season. Orcas Island Fire and Rescue would like to take a moment to remind islanders and visitors to keep fire prevention in mind.

• Outdoor permit burning (commercial/residential) currently remain open until June 30 with restriction: burning is only take place from dawn to 12 p.m. Please contact Orcas Fire and Rescue at 376-2331 the night before or prior to initiating the burn.

• Recreational campfires no larger than two feet in diameter are allowed without permits even in the Eastsound Urban Growth Area, except when a “Burn Ban” is in effect.

You can find this information at our fire stations and on the San Juan County Fire Marshal website as well as ours at www.orcasfire.org.

In addition, please take the time to accomplish the following recommendations to greatly reduce your fire risk to you, your family, and community: lawns, fields and vegetation should be mowed and kept short; prune trees and plants adjacent to buildings; clean up dry debris from the ground; refrain from stacking firewood and other flammable materials against homes and out buildings.

Governor Jay Inslee declared a statewide drought emergency for Washington on May 15 of this year.

If you have questions about burning or property mitigation of wildfire hazards in or around your home, give us a call at 376-2331.

Hidden world beneath the sea

Marine geologist Gary Greene will treat islanders to an absorbing visual tour of the hidden subsea world around the San Juan Archipelago, showing the strikingly beautiful sonar images he has been recording for the past 20 years.

This Orcas Currents lecture is on Thursday, June 11 and is cosponsored by Coates Vineyards and the Northwest Straits Foundation. It begins at 5:30 p.m. in Orcas Center, with a reception to follow sponsored by the Orcas Food Coop. Admission is free.

Formerly the director of the Moss Landing Marine Labs on Monterey Bay in California and currently a research faculty member at Friday Harbor Labs, Greene

The members of The Gallery in Eastsound have welcomed a new member: Brook Meinhardt. Her feature work at The Gallery is a large, dimensional, mixed-media (including plywood, veneer and tiny sticks) portrait of Abraham Lincoln – pictured at right. The show opens on Friday, June 12 from 5 to 7 p.m. and includes the work of local artists, many of whom have been painting together for years. The Gallery is at 374 North Beach Road, Eastsound.

PRESIDENT FROM 1 father of a marine mammal researcher, himself a former Whale Museum intern, and a cousin of U.S. Senator Russ Feingold, D-Wisc., Weiss also made a pitch to the president as to why those four dams should be breached. He was one of 25 participants at the roundtable and, in addition to providing the president with a 13-page packet summing up the reasons why the dams should be dismantled, he was first to raise his hand and be called upon to state his case. “[Obama] said that he couldn’t really guarantee any results but that he would give the issue a serious look and see what he might be able to do,” Weiss said.

Listed endangered under the federal law in 2005, the Southern residents con-

has pioneered sophisticated sonar techniques to map the sea floor in many regions of the Pacific Ocean. Now working with the SeaDoc Society and heading its Tombolo Mapping Lab on Orcas Island, he has been making high-resolution 3D images of the Salish Sea floor.

In the process, he has uncovered previously unknown benthic habitats and discovered geological features such as submarine faults and folding.

In his talk, Greene will bring alive the deep undersea world around us. Greene has also discovered an important new geological fault he dubbed the Skipjack Fault, which begins near South Pender Island and extends eastward to pass between Orcas and Sucia Islands.

sisted at that time of 88 animals. Made up of three closely related clans, J, K and L pods, the population totals 80 whales today. It hit a 30-year low late last year after a two-plus year drought of newborns, followed more recently by three births over the winter months.

Under a federally mandated recovery plan, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, tasked with implementing the Endangered Species Act, lists lack of prey (salmon), pollution and disturbance by vessels as the three greatest threats to the Southern residents’ survival. The population earned a recent distinction by becoming one of seven other ESA-listed marine species considered

by NOAA to be the most “imperiled of the imperiled.”

he peregrine falcon or ‘duck hawk’ is a popular visitor to Orcas Island. Peregrines are found everywhere on earth save for extreme habitats and New Zealand.

Peregrine falcons prefer medium sized birds like ducks, doves, pigeons, and songbirds. In order to catch birds, a quick and mobile prey species, peregrine falcons can dive at speeds of up to 200 miles per hour! Peregrines are the fastest creature in the animal kingdom (although the fastest known living creature in the world is actually a fungus). Peregrines consume up to 300 avian species. They hunt by dropping from the air in a high speed dive to knock their prey out of the sky. Peregrines are considered beneficial in cities across the world as they keep pigeon numbers low. Pigeons are considered pests because of their large populations and because their droppings are acidic enough to damage the stone of buildings and the iron of bridges.

On Orcas Island, watch for peregrines: the tops of their wings are a charcoal gray color or blue-black and are sharply pointed. Their heads are dark and with a white eyering and the chest is cream colored.

FATHERS FROM 1 Father’s Day For Father’s Day, Kelly will leave behind the theater and multiple sports and take some time for sailing.

Emily’s favorite Father’s Day memory was waking up at 3 a.m. to write a message on a poster board.

She then snuck into her parents’ bedroom to hang it up so it would be the first thing her dad saw in the morning.

The plan went awry when Kelly woke up to the sound of rustling paper and a message that was hung upside down in the dark.

waking, Kelly has fond memories.

“That was awesome,” Kelly said.

Advice Now that his girls are teenagers and will soon be leaving the house and heading out on their own adventures, Kelly reflects that time has flown by.

As for advice for others who are just starting out on their road to fatherhood, Kelly has this to say: “Put everything into it.

That has been my mission in life to be a father. Don’t lose sight of that. The primary goal is to raise them the best you can. Listen to them and love them.”

‘Love Letters’ A one-woman show

by CALI BAGBY Assistant editor

Amontaine Aurore takes her newest one-woman show into the exploration of afterlife, the search for soul mates and the possibility of reincarnation. “‘Love Letters’ takes place at a much more mature place in my life, reflecting on a major turning point that forever changed the way I viewed reality,” said Aurore.

The major turning point involved a relationship, but Aurore said that’s all she will say about as she doesn’t want to give too much away before the show.

“Love Letters Beyond the Veil” will play for one night only, Saturday, June 13 at the Orcas Center Mainstage at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25, $19 for Orcas Center members, $11 for students and can be purchased at www.orcascenter.org.

Aurore is a Seattle-based writer and performer with a degree in writing from Antioch University. In addition to being a Seattle resident, she has also lived and studied in Los Angeles, New York, Italy, Egypt and Bali. She has been a writer-in-residence at the Hedgebrook Writer’s Retreat for Women on Whidbey Island. She has been on stages and sets in Seattle, Montana, Los Angeles, New York and overseas, and is the winner of a national acting competition. Since 2006, Aurore has written and performed in multiple self-penned solo plays including “Waiting for Billie Holiday” and “My Name is Trazar.” In 2008, she toured her solo performance show “Queen Rita’s Blues Alley” to New York and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. Her solo show “Free Desiree,” which came to Orcas in 2012, was accepted into the New York Fringe Festival in the summer of 2013 where it was named by Theater is Easy as a Fringe Festival Best Bet and by Indie Theater Now as one of the best new scripts in the 2013 Festival.

“Love Letters Beyond the Veil” uses storytelling, music, dance and spoken word. Aurore is interested in all forms of artistic expression, and how each type of expression communicates its own story.

“Dance is a type of language that is different than the language of spoken words, which is different than the experience of written words, yet all are just as influential in transmitting thought and emotion,” she said. “I am multifaceted in my artistic perspective, so it is natural for me to draw upon and integrate multiple forms in creating a theatrical experience.”

For this show, she has not only delved into many creative forms, but has also collaborated with various artists including original music, choreography, set design and clothing pieces designed specifically for the show.

This is the fourth collaboration Aurore has had with Tikka Sears who is the director for her solo work.

“Let’s just say that I don’t know if I would have had the success I’ve enjoyed without her,” said Aurore. “She is a take charge kind of person, which is an important quality for a director to possess, but she also knows how to balance that with the spirit of collaboration and a respect for all of the various elements and people that are involved in bringing together the overall vision. Her ability to combine finely honed skills and intuitive knowing to her work is her own special brand of brilliance.”

he Orcas Farmers Market is not only famous for the bountiful produce and plants grown by our dedicated island farmers but also for the wide range of creative talents displayed by our artisans and crafters.

Erica Lyons, the owner and designer behind Orcas Island Sea Glass, is one of our dedicated artisans. A childhood passion for picking up found items on the beach has blossomed into a business that keeps Erica busy creating beautiful works of art out of the sea glass she’s spent over two decades collecting.

So, what exactly is sea glass? Back before waste disposal services, we used to take care of it on our own. From the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s, depending on where in the country you were, that could mean burning it, burying it, or dumping it on a beach near town. This was mostly before the invention of plastics so most of our liquids were in glass containers, and they were often broken apart when dumped.

It is those broken shards that have had their sharp edges worn smooth by a combination of chemical reactions from long-term seawater exposure and wave & sand action to become the frosty little gems that Erica collects and makes her jewelry with. A single piece can take up to 80 years to attain the smooth, rounded edges that are so sought after.

Sea glass is becoming harder to find because of a few reasons. First, we aren’t dumping our trash on beaches like we once did. Second, many more containers are plastic rather than glass. Third, since sea glass is constantly being worn away by the sand and waves, the pieces are slowly getting smaller and smaller and more broken up.

Anyone can find sea glass, and if you are on Orcas and find a piece that is really cool bring it by Erica’s booth at the Saturday Market to have an awesome piece of jewelry custom designed out of your own pieces! www.facebook. com/orcasislandseaglass Paid Advertisement

Marine Watch Onyx; L-87 Southern Resident Orca

This is Oynx, L-87 a 23 year old male. He has the distinction of being the only whale of the southern resident community that changed pods, that I am aware of. He is an L Pod whale that has been with J pod for the last four or five years. He is often seen traveling with Granny, J-2 ( the next mayor of Eastsound).

His mother Olympia, L-32 (born 1955) died around 2005.

Soon after her death he was seen with K pod, mainly Lummi L-7 (born in 1910) and Georgia K-11 (born in 1933). When Lummi and Georgia died he switched to J pod and has been with them ever since.

At first Oynx was seen traveling with Speiden, J-8 (born 1933) when he made the switch to J pod. When Speiden died a couple of years ago he became attached to Granny, J-2 (born 1911).

What became clear is Oynx needed an older senior female to learn from and form a social bond with. The older females in the pods teach the younger orca what they need to know to survive, such as navigating and finding food.

We saw him today, as he traveled close to Granny heading up the Strait of Georgia towards the Fraser River mouth following the salmon run.Tom and Nate Averna have operated Deer Harbor Charters since 1988. They will provide a climb sharing their experiences and observations regarding the local marine wildlife and ecosystem, as well as other parts of the world.
