Madrona Point Partnership for Restorative Justice

Dear to the heart of many of us over the years has been to find a way to get Lummi and Orcas Island kids together on a regular basis to create friendships and learn from each other. In 2000, at a celebration of the 10-year anniversary of preserving Madrona Point, I asked Lummi elder Chadaskatum how Orcas Islanders could build an enduring, mutually beneficial relationship with the Lummi people.

His answer: “Let’s find a way to get our kids together.”

One successful approach for involving youth among native peoples of the northwest in traditional activi-

ties has been the revival of “Canoe Culture” exemplified by the yearly “Tribal Canoe Journey” events.

Recently an exciting new project has been started by the Lummi. They have built four reef net canoes (they fish as a pair) with the intent of reviving some of their reef net traditions in the islands. This would of course require the cooperation of property owners, reef net permit holders and others.

San Juan Island resident Kevin Patrick Taylor, 53, has been charged with two counts of Murder in the Second DegreeDomestic Violence and one count of Malicious Mischief in the First Degree–DV for allegedly bludgeoning his wife to death with the barrel of a rifle in their Friday Harbor home.

According to Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord, Taylor is being charged with two counts of murder in the second degree because that crime cant be committed in two ways: intentionally without premeditation or during the course of another felony, which in this case is assault.

“The purpose of charging both at this time is to provide notice to him that we will be presenting the case in this way,” said Gaylord.

During his pre-trial appearance on Sept. 6, Taylor’s arraignment was scheduled for Friday, Sept.

16 and bail was set at $1 million.

Taylor is being represented by San Juan County Public Defender Colleen Kenimond and Mark

Farm tours this fall

by Mandi Johnson Sounder reporter

It’s time to get up close and personal with your neighborhood farms.

Tickets are on sale now for the 2016 San Juan County Farm Tours. The dates for the tours are: Sept. 24 and 25 on San Juan Island; Oct. 2 on Orcas Island; and Oct. 8 and 9 on Lopez Island. The event provides an opportunity for the community to visit farms, meet the farmers, taste locally grown foods, learn new skills and understand more about agriculture in San Juan County.

San Juan Island The tour will include the chance to view heritage breeds of goats and sheep, walk through an edible food forest, and taste locallygrown, heritage wheat baked into

pastries. You can taste different varieties of garlic, learn about cultivating herbs, distilling essential oils and taste a variety of apples.

“It’s supporting the community and is a way to get the public more aware to what we’re doing on the farm,” said Elaine Kendall of Sweet Earth Farm. She said the tour allows visitors a glimpse into the effort needed to maintain a regenerative farm and an appreciation for how many different types of apples are grown in the county.

On Saturday evening, the San Juan Preservation Trust, the San Juan County Land Bank and other organizations will gather at Red Mill Farm, a 700-acre farm owned by the trust, for a tour and conversation about the challenges and opportunities of farmland conservation in the islands. Local chef

“We seem to have a homicide in the county every five years. This is our second in two weeks,” said Sheriff Ron Krebs, referring to the murder-suicide of two Minnesota men on Lopez Island on Aug. 26.

San Juan County dispatch received a call from someone in a Friday Harbor residence at 1 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 3. It is unknown who made the phone call. A deputy arrived on scene 20 minutes later, and saw a Jeep with its flashers and alarm going off. When the car alarm stopped, he heard music coming from inside the residence.

He walked to the deck, where the sliding door was open, and saw Julie Taylor deceased on the floor, with blood pooled around her head. According to the detective’s report, she had severe trauma to her head, and a broken rifle was lying nearby. The barrel was covered in blood.

Her husband was sitting in a recliner and allegedly said to the deputy, “I got her.” After he was placed under arrest, and more emergency personnel arrived on scene, Taylor allegedly told an officer, “She was going to divorce me.

I couldn’t let that happen.” The detective also wrote that the suspect said his wife poisoned him.

Surrounded by family, Barbara Ehrmantraut was presented with the Sky Award for Volunteer Service at OPAL’s annual gala on August 27. From left: visiting daughter Megan Ehrmantraut, honoree Barbara Ehrmantraut, son Brian Ehrmantraut, OPAL executive director Lisa Byers, granddaughter Brigid Ehrmantraut and daughterin-law Moana Kutsche.

Retired surgical nurse Barbara Ehrmantraut was honored with the Sky Award for Volunteer Service during OPAL Community Land Trust’s annual dinner and gala on Aug. 27.

The Sky Award, which has been presented since 1998, recognizes those who have contributed significant volunteer service in support of building and sustaining community on Orcas Island.

Ehrmantraut was recognized for her many years of work with the community dental programs, the Orcas Community Resource Center, the Animal Protection Society and the Orcas Library.

“Barbara gives graciously and generously of her time and expertise,” said OPAL trustee Helen Bee in presenting the award. “She’s a wonderful mentor and a tremendous gift to the

health and well-being of our community.”

Four times a year Ehrmantraut uses her nursing skills to benefit two community dental programs, screening applications and scheduling patients for the visiting dental van and volunteering at the tooth extraction clinics. She is also one of three volunteer advocates for the “Ask Orcas” referral service, which connects residents with needed resources – health care, housing, counseling, employment, home care and transportation.

One night a week she assists the veterinarian at the animal shelter during spaying and neutering surgeries offered by APS, where she has volunteered for 12 years. Saturdays she volunteers at the library.

The Sky Award is named in recognition of Michael Sky and Penny Sharp Sky, co-founders of OPAL.

For the second consecutive year, Orcas Christian School Robotics is competing in the First Tech Challenge, a division of the international First Robotics competition for high school students.

Last year, the Orcas Christian School spent a rookie season learning the ropes, testing the equipment, and understand-

ing computer languages.

With some returning veterans and a slew of green recruits, OCS Robotics is excited to begin competitive tinkering for their team “TestOA.” The team name was developed by converting the team number into binary, and then organizing the binary into Morse code. Pronounced like “Test Away,” the name becomes

very relevant because of the immense amount of testing that any robot endeavor requires.

In FTC, the yearly challenge is revealed at the beginning of the school year, allowing teams to begin strategizing, building, and scheming of how to build the best robot in the world! Kickoff this year is Sept. 10, with the first league competitions in late November and December. If they do well, OCS will have the opportunity to compete in regional, national and then world levels.

DeVaux retires from San Juan Home Trust After 11 years of service as the Executive Director of the San Juan Community Home Trust, Nancy DeVaux has announced that she will retire on June 1, 2017.

During her time with the home trust, DeVaux led the organization through the new construction of 19 homes in the Salal and Sun Rise Phase I neighborhoods, and then facilitated the sale/resale of 45 of our

53 home sales, including 5 sales which are pending.

She was also instrumental in the annexation of land for 120 permanently affordable homes into the Town of Friday Harbor.

She is currently leading the development of the newest neighborhood, Sun Rise Phase II, comprised of 12 homes saved from demolition in Canada which will be renovated to provide permanently affordable homes for low and moderate income island residents.

This innovative project has gotten global media attention as well as congressional interest. In performing these roles, DeVaux has developed strong working relationships with federal, state, county, and local government leaders, as well as in the business community with homebuyers and other nonprofits.

“I am proud to have played a key role in bringing our government leaders, the business community and local activists together with our very generous donors to address the problem of

permanently affordable housing, which has reached a crisis level in our county.

And, while I am retiring, I fully intend to stay active in the home trust and the issue of housing affordability.”

One of the founders of the home trust, Larry Soll said, “For the past eleven years, Nancy has been our leader, safely guiding the home trust through many challenging times, maintaining good relations with homeowners and being our face to the community. I have enjoyed working with her tremendously and look forward to her continued commitment to the organization.”

DeVaux is announcing her retirement date now to ensure that there will be adequate time to search for, hire and train a successor. Accordingly, the Home Trust Board will be formally announcing the position opening within the next month and anticipates interviews beginning in early November.

LUMMI FROM 1 By ordering one more in the future, we will have the ability to fill two vessels with a mixture of our kids both for paddle adventures and possibly for reef netting.

In September the canoe is on view in the Village Green. Our idea is to raise $31,185 this fall to buy the canoe, a set of paddles, and the cost of delivery.

For this we need to create a committee to organize the fundraising, and another one to design a program.

Once the first canoe is paid for, we will raise money for the yearly program itself.

The Kids and Canoes program is part of The Madrona Point Partnership for Restorative Justice project, which is a collaboration of Orcas and Lummi people to take constructive action. Our goal is to create a durable and mutually beneficial relationship through cultural and educational programs.

“Kids and Canoes” is our first effort; we plan to get our kids paddling and learning together.

To donate by mail, write a check to the “Orcas Island Community Foundation” for “Kids and Canoes” and mail to OICF, PO Box 1496,

Eastsound WA 98245 or go online to www.oicf.us.

The second project is to realize the Lummi vision for the future of Madrona Point as first presented in 1987. This involves two elements: a facility for crosscultural understanding and a management and stewardship plan for restoring and protecting Madrona Point. The Lummi Vision: “Ts’el whi>sen (Lummi name for Madrona Pt.) is a spiritual site with a sacred meaning to the Lummi people. Our people used it for generations upon generations as a final resting place for our ancestors. Also on Ts’el whi>sen are rare and endangered plant foods and medicines still needed and used by our people today.

These, too, give expression to the sacredness of Ts’el whi>sen, as do the trees, where the eagles nest, roost, and feed undisturbed by the forces of progress.

We share an appreciation for Ts’el whi>sen with nonIndians, including many of the current residents of Orcas Island. They, too, wish to keep Ts’elwhi>sen in a natural state and to protect its fragile beauty, its unique history, and its sacred meaning. This is a vision shared by people of different culture in the

interest of us all.

Our vision of Ts’el whi>sen is guided by a desire to protect and preserve what is there for past, present, and future generations. Our spiritual and historical sites will be protected from any further disturbance and the natural environment will be preserved through careful management and stewardship.

Ts’el whi>sen will also provide a setting where cultures can begin to learn from, and better understand, each other. History shows us that differences between cultures can often lead to misunderstanding, mistrust, and conflict. True understanding between Indian and non-Indian peoples means an appre-

ciation of, and respect for, the differences that have so long divided us.”

Twenty-six years ago an agreement was signed between San Juan County and the Lummi Nation concerning the future of Madrona Point. It is a unique legal document in which various legal rights were retained by the county, although ownership went to the Lummi.

That document included several goals. One is the possibility of creating a Lummi center for cultural education, inspired by their vision. Another is a management plan to be written and adapted with certain objectives for preserving Madrona Point. A caretaker’s cabin is also allowed.

At that time no source of funding was provided for these and other actions called for in the agreement. Without money or a timeline nothing happened. Political systems and leaders changed in both communities. In 1993, after three years of informal cooperative caretaking, our relationship broke down. The Madrona Point Partnership for Restorative Justice feels that we have a moral responsibility to find a way forward now to accomplish these necessary and desirable items.

Since the Madrona Point agreement was signed in 1989, the Northwest Indian College has emerged as an impressive organization for teaching indigenous cul-

ture and as a partner for implementing the Lummi vision for Madrona Point as a place “… where cultures can begin to learn from, and better understand, each other.”

While Madrona Point traditionally served as a burial ground for the Lummi, there were also three white and mixed blood cemeteries dating from the 1850’s.

Historically, archeologically, culturally, geographically, aesthetically and spiritually, Madrona Point is the heart and soul of Orcas Island. Let’s link up our communities, build and work together – and repair old wrongs and harms in the course of, and via, the good we do today and tomorrow.

Douglas Hickman was an exceptional parent to his three children with his first wife. He was also a single parent for many years, taking his children to horse riding classes, piano lessons and art studios.

As a brother, Douglas was a bright and stimulating influence on his three brothers Michael, David, and Steven and his sister Marylin. For decades Douglas Hickman ran his small business, Orcas Enterprises, designing and building iconic ferry boat ornaments, expanding his creativity later on into driftwood furniture.

Later in life, Douglas was a much valued employee at Island Hardware and Supply, solving numerous mechanical puzzles.

Douglas’ artistic skills found their most magical incarnation in driftwood birdhouses and mirrors, which were best seller items at the Island Studios in Friday Harbor.

Douglas Hickman also

designed and built fabulous custom pieces through the Crow Valley Pottery collaboration. His work can be found in many private homes in the U.S. and the U.K. Countless collectors delighted in owning the wooding ferry boat models and gnome houses.

Douglas’s brightness, kindness, and good energy attracted the friendship of many remarkable people.

For years he corresponded with Graham Hancock, a world-renowned British archaeologist and history writer.

In the last years of his life, Douglas Hickman created his most stunning largescale driftwood furniture pieces.

Ever a fighter and an unconventional mind, he sought every opportunity for survival. His love of life and shared determination won him 8 years of life after a devastating cancer diagnosis. He fought unsupported by the mainstream hospital community, which sent him home to die.

Throughout his courageous struggle with the disease, he was comforted and cared for by his wife Lana and the generosity of his friends such as Paul Garwood, Neal Hartlerode, Kai Enderlein, the Kulper family, Harvey Aldort and Carol Whitbeck.

Douglas defied the terrible disease because of his love of life and all living things. He had a wonderful life motto: “Patience and finesse.” He passed his woodworking secrets to his students and that way his craft remains alive.

Being an accomplished photographer, Douglas also left a beautiful record of Orcas Island wildlife and landscapes. Douglas Hickman is survived by his wife of 18 years, Lana Hickman and by his children William Hickman, Brett Hickman, Amber Hickman and stepson Anton Ilkevich.

A memorial service will be held Oct. 15 at Moran State Park between noon and 4 p.m.

Obituary Douglas Ray Hickman Douglas Ray Hickman, 67, of Orcas Island died on Aug. 17 at home with his wife Lana by his side.

Douglas Hickman was born to William Ray Hickman and Rachel Ann Hickman on March 15, 1949 in Longview, Washington.

His artistic talents and creative powers manifested themselves at an early age.

Douglas used to build various working models from different materials for the children’s science fairs.

Douglas was a dedicated Boy Scout and deeply loved the outdoors, feeling at home in the forest and by the sea.

After graduating from his high school Douglas served for four years in the Navy, being stationed at Danang during the challenging years of the Vietnam War. Upon his return to the states, Douglas Hickman studied botany and forestry at the local college.

His studies were an extension of his love for nature.

Later on Douglas worked at the Longview Fibre Corporation, a paper mill.

In every incarnation, wood was his medium of choice.

Arriving on Orcas Island 38 years ago, he worked at the West Beach Resort and shortly afterwards he was a caretaker for the Clise family. At the same time, Douglas Hickman worked as a member of the Diver Rescue Team, saving many boats and stranded boat owners in their darkest hour. Ever at home with the elements, he also had become a private pilot, fly-

Unfortunately, the topic is front and center in this week’s edition of the Sounder with two local criminal cases.

A Friday Harbor woman was violently killed last week, and her husband of 25 years has been charged with two counts of second degree murder and malicious mischief. All of the charges are classified as domestic violence.

An Eastsound man has been accused of assaulting a woman who had a no-contact order against him. He allegedly came into her home and punched her in the face. All of the charges are classified as domestic violence.

These two men are innocent until proven guilty, but the incidents shed light on the seriousness of domestic abuse. It can be physical, emotional, sexual or economic, and without intervention, it can end in serious physical harm.

Here are some warning signs. Does your partner ever: Make all your decisions? Try to control who you can see, where you can go or who you can talk to? Embarrass you with put-downs? Control your money? Tell you you’re a bad parent or threaten to take your children away? Tell you the abuse is your fault or in your own mind? Destroy your belongings or threaten your pets? Threaten to commit suicide or to kill you? Push, hit, slap or choke you?

If you answered “yes” to any one or more of these questions, you could be in an abusive relationship. SAFE San Juans (formerly known as Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services of the San Juan Islands) offers free, confidential help. Trained advocates can answer questions about your experience, discuss what abuse looks like and help you take action if you want. It just expanded its social service case management and other services for youth and young adult clients ages 13 to 23.

The 24 Hour Crisis Lines are: San Juan, 378-2345, Orcas, 376-1234 and Lopez, 468-4567.

We are deeply saddened by this year’s increase of assault, murder and sexual abuse in our county. If you or someone you know is at risk – even if it seems minor – please seek help.

Don’t suppress media I, too, was shocked to see the headline “Reality of Heroin Addiction – Is heroin becoming more common in the San Juan Islands?” on the covers of our local papers on Aug. 17. I applaud the writers of this well-written article as well as the editors for printing it as it behooves us all to be wellinformed in matters that significantly affect our communities.

That being said, I was equally shocked by the opinion of a local titled “Drugs, crime on front page?” that was printed in the Aug. 24 edition in response to this article. If there are two things I really dislike, it’s people who try to control the media, and media that tries to control the people. I protest any attempts to suppress the news because it might offend tourists (or for any other reason).

The problems associated with drug use throughout the islands is, not unlike tourism and development, one of those elephants in the room that we rarely discuss openly. The upside of tourism and development of course is money and jobs. The downside is the well-researched and documented long-term negative socioeconomic impacts of growth pressure in seasonal/resort communities. I trust that such opinions will not deter the editors from continuing to perform their public service.

Reach the top

Have you had a chance to enjoy “Sundays at the Summit” of Mount Grant on San Juan Island? The road to the top is open Sundays noon to 6 p.m. through Sept. 25. Hiking trails are open daily. The summit offers 360-degree views of valleys, lakes, straits, mountains, soaring raptors and wind-gnarled Douglas firs. It’s a view few have been privileged to enjoy, until now.

We’ve had the good fortune to volunteer at the top and hear the comments: “Wow, I didn’t know this was here.” “Without the access road I’d never have been able to see this view.” “Thanks for working to protect this special spot.”

Previously known as Lawson Ridge subdivision, the preserve is located between Mount Dallas and Cady Mountain. It protects Circulation and Bridget Wright Administrative Coordinator bsmith@soundpublishing.com Marketing Artist Shane Watson

swatson@soundpublishing.com

and provides access to 141 acres of native forest and meadow once slated for home development.

The summit road and trailhead entrance are located on the south side of Beaverton Valley Road.

Look for a big sign indicating in red how the campaign fundraising is going.

While The Campaign for Mount Grant Preserve just celebrated its 1,000th donation, its not paid for yet. Approximately $380,000 still needs to be raised to pay the debt and provide a stewardship fund.

This is where you come in.

Your donation will be matched dollar for dollar by five generous island families, doubling your contribution. Your reward: knowing you’ve helped preserve a special spot to enjoy now and for generations to come. Once funding is complete, recreational use of Mount Grant will be a top priority.

While San Juan Island has some lovely parks with hikes up hills with great views, not everyone can take a hike. Mount Grant is unique in that you can ride to the top and get to enjoy distant views in every direction, regardless of mobility, and there is an easy family-friendly circular trail. The campaign is a joint project of the San Juan County Land Bank and San Juan Preservation Trust. Visit the website http://sjpt.org to donate or for more information, or visit one of our volunteers on Sundays at the Summit, because sometimes it gets lonely at the top!

Center has given the stage to cutting edge creative dance by our own local artists. “The Nocturnes,” choreographed and directed

by Anthony Manuel with the “Island Inspirational All Stars” is on par with with the aerial silks performance of earlier this year. I did not realize at the time, yet Anthony Manuel was involved with the choreography of that performance also.

This is an artistic contribution to our community for which I express deep gratitude. This is not just another individual “self-

actualizing.” This is an extraordinary collection of artists “self-actualizing” – exploring, expressing and expanding the concept of story and movement.

Thank you to Orcas Center for giving the stage to our local artists.

Thank you to Anthony and the All Stars for the work you put into developing yourselves in order to perform such an amazing piece of art.

I look forward to more!!!

“Ask questions and get the responses from people who will be representing you,” say organizers.

Invasive green crab found on San Juan Island In late August in San Juan Island’s Westcott Bay a team of volunteer monitors caught an invasive green crab (Carcinus maenas), marking the first confirmation of this global invader in Washington’s inland waters.

The volunteers are part of Washington Sea Grant’s Crab Team – an early detection and monitoring program to look for European green crab and collect information on local marine life.

Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is responsible for controlling aquatic invasive animals and is working closely with WSG to determine next steps for limiting further spread of the crab.

The work is funded by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under Assistance Agreement to WDFW. European green crab have been stow-

aways on ships bound for U.S. ports since the 1800s, establishing populations, eating local clams and other shellfish, and causing serious impacts. In Maine, for example, softshell clam harvests declined dramatically when the crab became established and eelgrass beds have been damaged by the invader’s digging habits. Until now, green crab populations in Washington have been limited to Pacific coastal estuaries. However, the 2012 discovery of invasive crabs in Canadian waters across the Strait of Juan de Fuca prompted WDFW investment in Salish Sea monitoring and early detection This week’s sighting was confirmed by green crab experts P. Sean McDonald, University of Washington (UW) and Sylvia Yamada, Oregon State University. A single, large, 3-inch adult male crab was captured during the Crab Team’s regular monitoring

activity. WDFW and WSG are coordinating a response to the sighting, working with scientists at UW’s Friday Harbor Labs.

McDonald, who serves as the Crab Team Science Advisor, called for action to “immediately expand and intensify trapping in the area and build capacity for future monitoring.”

Jeff Adams, WSG marine ecologist and project manager summarized the situation.

“Although unexpected and unwelcome, this finding is a perfect example of how volunteers can spur positive environmental action, and it shows that the monitoring program is working as it was designed.”

Volunteers were trained and began monitoring sites in April to detect the invasive threat.

The WSG monitoring program focuses on early identification of infestations so that

resource managers can take action to reduce impacts and prevent further spread.

With an estimated 400 potentially suitable sites in Washington’s inland waters, experts are sounding a call to action for all citizens to keep their eyes open for green crab whenever on the beach. Program coordinator Emily Grason points out that, “Anyone can go out and look for the crabs in the water or their shells washed up along the shoreline.”

Although the crab is a prohibited species in Washington and possession is not permitted, residents can still help: 1. Learn how to how to identify green crab. Check out the Crab Team webpage at wsg.washington.edu/crabteam or Facebook and Twitter @WAGreenCrab.

2. Take a photo and report sightings to the WSG Crab team at crabteam@uw.edu.

Orcas woman finds musical success

Sounder reporter

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith discovered her love for synthesizers while helping her neighbor set up his home studio on Orcas Island. She has since picked up that love and run with it, producing five full-length albums of original songs over the past four years.

“I didn’t get into synthesis until after college, when I went back to Orcas,” said Smith. “That was a big foundational moment for where I’m at now. It took me a while to get into a steady path of following my music as a career.”

Smith moved to Orcas

with her family when she was 10 years old. She was homeschooled, and when she completed school in 2003, she went to Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass. for music composition, sound engineering and film scoring. Following college, she returned to the island for a few years, working at Myers Creamery and

MorningStar Farm.

“It was so dreamy,” said Smith, who moved with her filmmaker husband to California several years ago to pursue their careers. “I didn’t want to leave.”

Smith’s music, described

by Rolling Stone as “A shroom-fueled trip through Avatar’s bioluminescent rainforest,” was most recently featured in Google’s tribute to the National Parks Service. On Aug. 25, Google celebrated NPS’ centennial by releasing a series of

interactive videos about five national parks. Smith was asked by the company to compose the score for the videos.

“It was such a magical experience,” said Smith. “It was so great to get these folders with tons of footage. It was really easy to get zapped back into that world.”

The future is wide open to Smith, who said she wants to eventually do film, television and video game scores. “I just want to continue making music and being inspired to make music.”

From the mind of choreographer Anthony the Dancer came a night of art brought to life through luscious movement. The Island Inspirational All-Stars brought grace and strength to the Orcas Center stage during “The Nocturnes” this past weekend.

The Vikings football team blasted into 8-man football with a 52-0 win over the Darrington Loggers. The game was called at half time by the referees, albeit under a little confusion.

New to 8-man football and not anticipating a lopsided win, Coach Justin Frausto and the referees were not in agreement if the game was supposed to end if a team has a 45-point lead or go to a running clock in the second half.

Frausto said, “Either way, my guys at least to got to

losophy of modern physics and consistent with what is known scientifically about the Universe.

On Saturday, Sept. 17, Abrams will speak about her revelations in an Orcas Currents lecture “A God That Could Be Real” — the title of her recent book on this topic. This lecture will include a dialogue with Dick Staub, Pastor of Orcas Island Community Church, where the event will begin at 4 p.m. and admission is free.

Abrams’s coauthor is her husband Joel R. Primack, a highly regarded cosmologist, of The View from the Center of the Universe and The New Universe and the Human Future. Together they taught a popular course on “Cosmology and Culture” at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

She has written articles on these topics and appeared on national radio and TV programs.

Cofounder of the Kindlings, a movement devoted to rekindling the creative, intellectual and spiritual legacy of Christians in culture, Staub hosted the nationally syndicated radio talk show “The Dick Staub Show” from Seattle and

Chicago during the 1980s and 1990s before he came to Orcas Island to serve as OICC Pastor.

In her book, which includes a foreword by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Abrams writes, “God persists and always will because it’s a fundamental characteristic of the connection between ourselves and the Universe.”

She argues that God emerges in the world through our collective aspirations — and that we have a moral responsibility to improve this world for ourselves and future inhabitants. She focuses on climate change and environmental degradation, which can be countered by our thoughts and actions.

Embedded in these ideas is a “planetary morality” that emerges from a deep understanding of the Universe based on recent advances in cosmology.

Among these are the omnipresence of invisible forms of matter and energy that make up the great majority of everything there is.

Join Orcas Currents friends and supporters for an invigorating discussion of recent insights in science and religion.

Great wine, great people, great cause! Join Orcas Center for a Wine Blending Workshop on Sunday, Sept. 18 from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Madrona Room.

‘One Man, Two Guvnors’ Uproarious laughter! Where? NT Encore’s “One Man, Two Guvnors” returns to Orcas Center Saturday, Sept. 17 at 7:30 p.m. If you’ve not yet experienced great theatre streaming from London to Orcas Center this is your opportunity for a hilarious and entertaining evening performance viewed from the best seats in the house.

Oliviera-award-winning production, staring James Corden of The Late Late Show/ Carpool Karaoke fame. Richard Bean’s English version of Goldoni’s classic Italian comedy has sex, food and money high

on the agenda. The feel good hit play is directed by Nicholas Hytner and boasts to be one of the funniest productions in the National Theatre’s history.

Fired from his skiffle band, Francis Henshall becomes minder to Roscoe Crabbe, a small time East End hood, now in Brighton to collect £6,000 from his fiancée’s dad. But Roscoe is really his sister Rachel posing as her own dead brother, who’s been killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers.

SPORTS FROM 8 play a half of football. We had eight offensive possessions and scored on seven.

Our offense came out to play. Miles Harlow had two rushing TDs and three passing TDs. Charlie Holmes had a rushing TD along with Vanya Bullock who also had two receiving TDs. The Loggers had no answer for Vanya. Jordan Randolph also had a TD. Ricky De Anda and Bullock lead the charge defensively. Our team really ignited early and set the tone offensively and defensively by winning the hitting battle on the field. I was really proud of my players. They have put in a lot of hard work to get this win.”

Frausto was also very pleased to see the Viking support at Darrington.

“I would like to thank the fans who traveled to Darrington,” he said.

The Vikings play Concrete at home next Saturday.

Volleyball The Lady Vikings dropped their league opener 3-0 to a strong Mt. Vernon Christian team. This week the Lady Vikings face Concrete and La Conner.

There will be an intergenerational game day at Orcas Senior Center on Oct. 19 for Funhouse and Senior Center members to play board games together.

The League of Women Voters of the San Juans is bringing Diane Berreth, professional moderator and facilitator, from Orcas Island to present a program “Moderating Election (and other) Panels, Forums and Debates” at its monthly meeting on Monday, Sept. 19 from noon to 2 p.m. at the San Juan Island Public Library.

This workshop is intended for LWV members and the public who may be interested in the basics of moderating and facilitating formal and informal discussions, debates and forums. Participants will identify characteristics of effective and ineffective moderators they’ve seen and learn tools to empower them to moderate civil meetings. The agenda calls for tips on ground rules, staying on the agreed-upon agenda and more.

The moderating skills that they will be working on can be used in both formal and informal discussions, and they are not exclusive to election forums. Berreth has facilitated nonprofit education and community groups on Orcas Island (and beyond) for the last 10 years.

Harvest Feast on the way

The Orcas Islands Historical Museums are planning their annual Heritage Harvest Feast to celebrate the arrival of Fall. This year the celebration will be held on Sept. 24 at the Red Rabbit Farm for the third year in a row.

Event planner Michele Wiley notes that this a “wonderful event where Orcas residents come together for an evening at one table to share their family, their friendship, their love of the island and its history and the wonderful food.”

Attendees will enjoy a dinner focused on the foods and flavors of Autumn prepared

by Christina Orchid and her staff. There will be a wine reception at the beginning of the evening and attendees will enjoy a presentation on Orcas history. Ticket price is $125.

The reception begins at 5:30 p.m. followed by dinner at 6 p.m. Seating is limited; call the Historical Museums office at 376-4849 or Michele Wiley at 360-722-2802.

The Habitat truck back

Fall is nearly here and it's time to start putting things away. Pete Moe, Executive Director of Orcas Recycling Services, recommends you consider donating items to the Skagit Habitat for Humanity Store truck.

“It looks like The Exchange will take a little longer than we had hoped, so if you really need to make some room at home or your business, the Habitat truck is a good option,” he said.

The truck will be at the Island Market parking lot from noon to 3 p.m. on Sept. 26. Check skagithabitat.com or contact 376-3032 or tpiduff@hotmail.com for more info.

Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers.

Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution: Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone.

The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper, and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices, to report a problem with the customer’s credit card.

jobs

The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card. These callers are not from this newspaper.

This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments; but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method.

To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper, use these following tips: • Ask the caller to identify himself/herself and the office he/she is calling from, including the address. If you do not recognize the caller, hang up and call your local newspaper office directly.

• Before providing payment information to a caller, ask for information that would be unknown to scammers. This could include your billing address or previous payment information. A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method, check numbers, banking institution and/or the last four digits and expiration of your credit card.

• If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined, verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement.

If you receive a scam call like this, write down all information you can about the call, such as: the caller’s name, phone number, time of day and duration of call.

If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers – Immediately contact your bank and/or credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation.

Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation.

If you are a victim of this scam please contact this office 360-394-8704, your local police department, or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney General’s office.
