And you thought your health care costs were steep. San Juan County is bracing for a 22 percent increase in health care costs beginning next year, and, as a result, its preliminary 2012 budget calls for the elimination of 3.5 full-time jobs to offset that anticipated spike in general fund expenses. Administrator Pete Rose noted the budget unveiled last week is the fourth consecutive in which the county workforce will be reduced. It calls for $13.7 million in general fund revenue and expenses, which is roughly equivalent to last year’s general fund and about $150,000 less in projected revenue than in 2010. Deputy Administrator David Kelley said the $235,000 cut in next year’s payroll costs is not, at this point, a done deal. The county’s insurance provider, Group Health, would be willing to reduce the county’s annual premium by a substantial amount in exchange for raising the amount employees pay in deductibles, he said. “Our claims have been running about 25 percent higher than our premium,” Kelley said. Kelley noted, however, that any
increase in deductibles would years. Another 10 have been elimrequire approval of the county’s inated in the road division of the unionized workers.

County unemployment rate hard to calculate by MEREDITH M. GRIFFITH Staff reporter
San Juan County had the lowest unemployment rate in the state as of August 2011, at 5.7 percent, reports the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That sounds relatively rosy until more details are considered. That unemployment rate is based on a total county labor force of 8,800 people, with 8,300 employed and 510 unemployed. In another report, the BLS’s August 2011 job count based on those under the unemployment insurance system, counted just 5,840 jobs. Dave Wallace, Acting Chief Economist at the state Employment Security Department, said the lower number is a better measure of the true number of jobs held in the county. “It’s our best guess; take it for what it’s worth,” he said. “There are probably a lot of people that aren’t counted.”
Wallace also said this “best guess” doesn’t count people who are self-employed and those who don’t pay into the system, such as those who work for cash only. Retired Orcas Island consultant and investment analyst Steve Garrison offered the following insights on interpreting Bureau of Labor Statistics data: “BLS counts employed and unemployment through payroll data and unemployment insurance claims reported by the states. The data collection is less satisfactory in underground economies such as San Juan County because it is difficult to count someone as now employed who is hired in a cash economy if there is no paperwork regarding that hire, and for those who are now unemployed, there is no documentation indicating their former employment.” The number of jobs is difficult to pin down.
So is the number of potential workers in the county’s seasonally fluctuating population. The BLS reports the county now has 1,360 fewer workers than in August 2008, when it had 10,160 workers and a 3 percent unemployment rate. Those workers may still be living in the county, but have become statistically invisible. If all those workers were here, and still vying for the county’s current 5,840 jobs, the county’s unemployment rate would be closer to 43 percent. Minnie Kynch, vice president of the Northwest Workforce Development Council, estimates that “discouraged workers” – those who have given up trying to get a job – put the total county unemployment closer to 10 percent. It’s difficult to find statistics that distinguish

Orcas students hold food drive The Orcas middle school leadership class is sponsoring a food drive for the Orcas Food Bank. “It was their number one project idea,� said teacher Laura Tidwell. “When we weren’t getting much food just putting up signs and collection boxes around the school and making announcements in the bulletin and school newsletter, they decided to step it up a notch.� Lots of ideas were bounced around. The students settled on decorating Tidwell's car, passing the word on to the high school Associated Student Body and the middle school Builder’s Club, and contacting the Islands' Sounder. “They weren’t willing to let the project die,� Tidwell said. “When they heard that 1 in 10 families on Orcas have relied on the food bank at one time or another this last year, it really made an impact.� The community can drop off food at either the elementary main hall or the middle school or high school commons. Items can also be brought directly to the food bank at the Community

DSHS serves 25 Orcas households from mobile office The Department of Social Health and Services brought its mobile office to the San Juans recently, helping community members sign up for benefits. On Orcas, the mobile unit, which is based in Olympia and serves rural towns, was set up in the Orcas Community Church parking lot. This is the first time DSHS has brought its office to Orcas. The state agency worked with Orcas Family Connections, Orcas Community Church, and the Food Bank to make the visit a reality. A total of 25 households were served. Both families and individuals signed up
for help with food, cash, medical treatment, drug and alcohol treatment, and child care. “I think this is great for our first visit and the fact that our advertising was so last minute,� said DSHS outreach specialist Cres Perez. “This particular trip, we experienced firsthand the uncertainty of living on an island and having to rely on the ferry system. At the beginning of our trip, the ferry from Anacortes was delayed almost one hour ... I heard that many people had used their lunch time so they could meet with us ... however, not one person was upset with us – they understood why we were
late.� One of the mobile unit’s goals is to reach underserved populations and also get to communities that have difficulty reaching a stationary offices. “This is exactly why we love our trips to the San Juan Islands,� Perez said. “Everyone is so gracious, kind and appreciative of the services that we are bringing to the community, it makes the long hours and busy days just that much easier.� DSHS will be making another trip to the San Juans in January. Watch for more information in the Islands’ Sounder.

Moran to get new play structure by MEREDITH M. GRIFFITH Staff reporter
It might be time to take one last spin on the tire swing at Cascade Lake – the massive old log play structure will soon be replaced with a new one designed to safely serve more kids across a wider span of ages. “The current play structure has served its purpose well, but it’s over 30 years old,� said Michel Vekved of the Friends of Moran, which has orchestrated the upgrade. “Safety standards have changed and the use of this structure is high, so based upon those facts our board – along with park approval – decided to pursue a new play structure. Our new structure meets or exceeds current safety standards. It will accommodate a greater number of kids and a broader age range.� The new structure has four slides, lots of clambering apparatus and monkey rings, but no swings.
“Sadly for some, we can’t have it all,� said Vekved. “A swing was not something that could be accommodated within the footprint and still meet the needs for a higher use and broader age range structure.� In a community Facebook discussion, a handful of parents and kids said they will miss the tire swing, but others were looking forward to the new play area. “My kids love the swing but it’s worth the sacrifice,� said mom of two Katie Spinner, who is glad to see the safety upgrade. Manufactured by the U.S. company Playworld, the structure is made of metal covered with an environmentally friendly, PVC-free coating, and the slides are made of partly recycled materials. “We think we chose some aesthetically suitable colors, so we won’t be looking at a bright orange, yellow and red structure in the swaying branches
of cedar trees,� said Vekved. The current pea gravel will be replaced with engineered wood fibers. New borders and an ADA-compliant entry ramp will also be added. More community support is needed to bring the project to fruition: of the structure’s $25,000 cost, the Friends of Moran still needs about $5,000. The project has been funded by a grant from the Orcas Island Community Foundation and some “very generous private donations;� additional funding will be provided by the Friends of Moran’s Summit Gift Shop sales and from the Steve Braun Memorial Triathlon. The Friends of Moran are also looking for volunteers to help take out the old structure and install the new one in early November, a move that will save $2,000. Vekved says the Friend of Moran are “really excited� about the project.
OIEF gives winter sports matching grant The Orcas Island Education Foundation is making a $5,000 match grant in hopes of challenging other donors to support winter sports at the public high school. Because of state funding cuts, the school district’s budget did not include winter and spring sports. “Realizing that sports play such a fundamental role in the health and academic growth of so many students, OIEF has decided to pledge $5,000 toward supporting high school winter sports, if it is matched by other donations from the community,� said OIEF president Janet
Brownell. “For some students, sports is the reason to go to school, to show up in class, to do homework. It is a way to get them to care about the academic pursuit as much as they do about athletics. For that reason, the OIEF board decided that it should step up and make this challenge grant.� It also allows the Booster Club time to continue fundraising for spring sports. “In order for high school basketball programs to occur this season, donations in the amount of $11,000 are needed,� Brownell said. “With the match pledge from OIEF, there is still
about $6,000 needed from community donors.� To make a donation for the “Booster Fund� at the Orcas Island Community Foundation, go to www. oicf.us.
Donations can also be mailed to OIEF/Winter Sports, POB 782, Eastsound, WA 98245 or go to www. OIEF.org.

OPINION Page 4
Editorial Vote no on land bank tax oney, money, money. This November’s ballot revolves around how much of our cash we’re willing to part with. We supported the school levy. We wrote in opposition of the solid waste parcel fee. It’s been harder to reach a conclusion about the third initiative on our ballots: the land bank’s REET. While we support the land bank’s work, we think it’s the right time to decrease the amount of money the organization receives from real estate sales. You cannot deny the Land Bank’s success in preserving open space – it is woven into the landscape. Turtleback Mountain on Orcas, Westside and Limekiln preserves of San Juan, and Hummel Lake on Lopez are just a few examples. But the Land Bank’s primary funding source can be denied. In fact, it was set up with just such a question like that in mind. It’s called a “sunset clause,� and it was written into the enabling legislation that set the stage for creation of a publicly owned, local land conservation agency, which, 20 years later, remains the only one of its kind in Washington state. As a result, San Juan County voters get to decide every dozen years or so whether that principal funding source, an excise tax of up to 1 percent applied to local real estate sales — paid by the buyer — ought to remain in effect for 12 more years. We believe that it should, but not at 1 percent. The Land Bank now owns 3,180 acres of land outright; it leases 400 acres on Lopez Hill. Of all the land in San Juan County, the land bank owns 2.86 percent. Its 31 preserves are mostly open to the public and allow for various levels of low-impact recreation. Another 2,078 acres of land, spread across 39 properties on seven different islands, are protected by conservation easements. Add easements and preserves together and you have an area greater in size than Moran State Park, the single largest tract of land in the San Juans. That’s something to be celebrated. But would the Land Bank still be able achieve its mission if that excise tax were trimmed by 1/2 a percent? It still would have its Stewardship Fund, which is set aside for management of preserves and easements, generates interest income and totaled roughly $3.5 million in 2010. It would still be the yearly beneficiary of the county Conservation Futures fund, a property tax levy that contributed nearly $270,000 to its bottom line a year ago. It would still have those 12 or so properties that were targeted for resale when purchased under what has become a dormant Conservation Buyers Program. On Orcas, we enjoy our one mile of public shoreline access and wish we had more. Those advocating renewing the REET say the land bank intends to acquire more beach property, but after 20 years of existence, Orcas only has that one mile. Because the current REET is not due to expire until 2014, at which time the Land Bank expects to be debt free, there is still ample time for broad discussion about the merits of the real estate excise tax, its percentage, or whether it should be retired along with a hearty thanks for a job well done. We don’t expect our position to be a popular one. But if not now, then when?

To the Editor: YES FOR LAND BANK My wife and I are relative newcomers to Orcas Island. We purchased our property on the East side about 10 years ago, and built a vacation abode, which recently became our primary residence. One of the main reasons for selecting Orcas as our home was the beauty of the land, and its accessibility for recreation. We first learned about the Land Bank when we noted, and questioned, the 1 percent real estate excise tax collected in escrow for our original land purchase. It was a significant amount, but when we discovered that the money was reserved for the acquisition and maintenance in perpetuity of beautiful and historical parcels on the island, we deemed it well worth our investment. From that perspective, the investment has continued to pay ample and even expanding dividends, as we have come to explore and love the existing preserves and fantastic new ones, such as Turtleback Mountain. Another reason we selected Orcas as our home is the extensive dialogue that surrounds issues of public policy. It is generally civil, and conducted with the overarching goal of enhancing the Orcas community. Even when neighbors disagree, they seem to be working toward the common good (which can’t always be said about public policy discourse). We hope the debate over renewing the land bank can be kept friendly and factual, without rancor. There are reasons to disagree with the renewal proposition, which have been and we hope will continue to be articulated with the best interests of Orcas in mind. For our part, we hope the land bank will be renewed, to maintain the current preserves and acquire new ones in the future for our children and grandchildren to enjoy. Steven Jung Susan McBain Olga

market-based approach to protecting special places, the Preservation Trust’s constituency attracts people from every political persuasion. We understand that much of our appeal and our membership support are strengthened by standing apart from our county’s often-contentious political processes. Despite this, the 20-member Board of the Preservation Trust, representing a cross-section of islands and political perspectives, has unanimously agreed to endorse the renewal of the San Juan County Land Bank. These two organizations are often confused. Both strategically protect landscapes that are particularly valuable to our communities, but the distinction is as simple as the difference between public and private. The San Juan County Land Bank is a unique public agency that is authorized by our citizens to collect a 1 percent excise tax (from buyers in real estate transactions) to protect open space in San Juan County. The San Juan Preservation Trust, on the other hand, is a private organization that relies completely on private donations of land, conservation easements and money to protect important land. While both organizations have successfully completed a long list of remarkable projects on their own, a powerful synergy emerges when they come together in partnership. By blending public and private resources, we leverage our respective strengths to acquire special places that we couldn’t dream of saving on our own. Beloved – and expensive – places like Turtleback Mountain (Orcas), Watmough Bight (Lopez), Beaverton Marsh and the Sundstrom Farm (San Juan), Disney Mountain (Waldron), and

the Henry Island Isthmus, to name just a few, have been permanently conserved by this partnership. We all feel lucky to live in the San Juans. But our ability to bequeath the beauty, health and character of these islands to future generations would be profoundly diminished should we let the San Juan County Land Bank slip away from us.

The future of our community and how much the land bank can do to assist in keeping these islands the livable and special place that it is for all of us – regardless of our age – depends on all of us. More lands will be developed and taken out of forest and agriculture use in the future. We need the land bank to continue to secure conservation easements and purchase properties so that special places like Turtleback Mountain and Judd Cove can be protected and accessible for generations to come. If we renew the land bank, the growth that will inevitably occur will help fund the protection of areas our community deems important.

t t t t t t t t We are disappointed by the editorial concerning the land bank appearing in this paper. We think it presents a confusing and detrimental recommendation that would result in an impaired vision for our future. We disagree that the 21-year investment in the land bank should be put in jeopardy by voting against its renewal just as we begin to appreciate the powerful benefits it has brought by protecting open spaces and scenic views, public access to our islands’ special places, and the preservation of farmland. The 1 percent REET, paid by the buyer on the sale of real property, is a fair and effective way for development to help pay for conservation. In addition, the land bank has brought more than $23 million non-REET dollars into our community. Reducing the REET funding base would automatically reduce the land bank’s ability to successfully attract outside funds in the future. And we all lose. We decided to seek renewal early because, among other reasons, projects frequently have a long gestation period, and there are some in the pipeline that will take longer than 2014 to complete. For example, the land bank is working on a project on San Juan Island (with $2.8 million of outside funds); a shoreline project on Orcas ($1 million of outside funds); and an important farm conservation easement on Lopez. Such projects require a willing seller, some delicate negotiations and enough time to ensure that they are done right.
The editorial touches on other issues with which we disagree, but the primary issue is our island quality of life and the future economic health of our communities. The land bank has a record of improving both! The San Juans remain a destination for those seeking what can be found here and what has been harmed, if not destroyed, elsewhere. The land bank’s work is not done and our communities, our lives and our legacy will all be richer for its renewal. The opportunity is now. Your “yes� vote will allow the land bank to continue its work and keep what makes living in the San Juans so special. Pamela Gross Harvey Himelfarb Sally and Tom Reeve Dave Zeretzke Dave Zoeller
/0 0/ -"/% #"/, Why is the land bank asking for a renewal this year when their funding does not expire for another two years? That is right: 2014! Voting no in this upcoming election does not mean you are against land preservation, because I certainly am not. Voting no will show that you are being a fiscally responsible citizen to your neighbors and friends. The county is struggling with the current economic problems by cutting programs, positions and salaries. We do not know at this time what the next two years will bring. So while our funding is very tenuous, at best, the land bank is asking for us to commit for the next 16 years (2027). I believe all organizations need to periodically evaluate what they are currently doing to make sure they are following their stated goals and mandates. I would like the land bank to take the next two years to do just that. Like many organizations that have had success in their primary mission, the land bank has begun to lose focus on conservation. It has strayed into commercial development and is competing with the

As an example, the land bank purchased 66 acres on San Juan Island for $545,000, made $106,000 of improvements, ($65,000 for a fence and the rest for utilities) and is now leasing it for $3,000 a month for 20 years. They are creating unfair competition between our farmers. Join me in urging the land bank to adopt a shorter time period for renewal and strict adherence to their conservation mission by voting no on this current request for a 12-year taxing authorization.

Then, they suggested that the three taxpayer-funded entities should form yet another taxpayer-funded entity to “help� farmers. See for yourself! Be informed when you vote and ask yourself questions like: Why isn’t the land bank focusing on obtaining conservation easements on open space – rather than purchasing urban land and farmland, making expensive improvements and leasing it at a loss? Why isn’t the land bank making all of its land accessible to the public? Why should the land bank be subsidizing the agricultural community? Don’t the taxpayers already support them with the special tax base and other programs they enjoy – the ARC, Agriculture
Guild, “Brickworks,� WSU programs, Conservation District, and reduced taxes? Do your homework and ask yourself, is the land bank still the organization that we all approved in 1990 and reapproved in 1999? I, for one, think not. Jane Cable San Juan Island
Vote no on levy Aren’t you proud to be an American? At least you know you’re free. It’s voting time again and the school is broke. Remember the desperate need for an industrial arts building just a few years back? Did you know you can now experience that voterfunded asset in all its virtual reality. It’s right there in the master plan, folks, ever ready to help Orcas youth acquire the skills to better compete in today’s shrinking job market. What happened to the funding after inept bunglers scrapped the project? What the people authorized at the polls, they never got. Could this be a combination of vote fraud and misappropriation of funds? Does it matter to you? Recently the people rejected one school bond after another. Don’t forget to vote, it’s your check and balance to stop runaway bureaucracy. You snooze, you lose. Be
aware, comrades, the gang of 44 lies in wait, emboldened by its recent victory over the people’s expressed will. You may need remediation on socialist redistribution of wealth if you don’t vote right this time. So let’s see: the industrial arts building the people authorized and funded, they never got. Now what they said “no� to twice is overthrown and shoved down their throats. Where’s the outrage? Hey, it’s a really good deal so what are you worried about, anyway?

LETTERS FROM 5 lic for the remaining funds because the money was only available for a limited time and the need for the repairs was dire. I am grateful to the school board for making the difficult decision to accept this grant. We put our trust in these elected officials to do what is best for our schools. The action taken by the board strengthened that trust for me. It is baffling to me why some members of our community would want to stand in the way of investing in our most precious island resource, our children. Offering our children a better environment to learn and thrive will set the wheels in motion for our community to rise to new levels. With a child in the public school, I obviously have a major stake in this situation. I hope you realize that even
without a child in the public school system, healthy and strong public schools make for healthy and strong communities overall. They depend completely on community support. Let’s raise the bar for Orcas Island. Please stand with me and support our public school and the school board’s decisive efforts to improve its facilities. Vote yes on the Orcas School District’s One Year Capital Project Levy. Deborah Jones Orcas Island
t t t t t t t t Last year, in our elementary school, an EMT was unable to use water from the drinking fountain to clean a student’s wound. It was unsafe. Children and teachers wore coats in classrooms all winter. The ventilation system produced dirty, not clean fresh air.
Our school board stepped up, won a $900,000 matching grant to pay half, hoping Orcas voters would approve a $900,000 loan to do the repairs during the summer to allow the children to return to a safe school. A large group of residents encouraged the board to obtain the loan and many generous residents have committed to raise $100,000 to help offset that loan. Orcas Island is not a third world country. Proposition 1 is not a $35 million or a $27 million levy to rebuild the schools. It covers only the absolutely necessary repairs to the elementary school. It will be a one time only, one-year levy of less than $100 for a $350,000 house – $0.28 per $1000 of assessed valuation. It would have been twice that if our school board had not acted promptly and creatively to provide a safe, healthful environment for our children. Vote yes on Proposition 1 and mail your ballot before Nov. 8. Andrea Hendrick Eastsound

We voted “no� on the last two capital Orcas Island School District levies. We are happy to vote “yes� on the upcoming levy to pay for the upgrades and repairs to the elementary school plumbing and heating systems. We attended the school board meetings as the board grappled with how to make
the necessary upgrades for health and safety and pay for it while taking advantage of the $900,000 grant. We appreciated the difficult decision they had to make the repairs during the summer while taking the chance that they would have to cut sports and other popular programs to pay for it if the levy this November does not pass. We are thankful for those in the community that have made donations towards this work and that this levy will be for one year only. Clyde and April Duke Eastsound

Truth about Highlands’ well I am compelled to clarify a number of misconceptions and errors made by people over the previous year regarding the drilling of wells in the Orcas Highlands. The idea of drilling wells was initiated by the Eastsound Sewer and Water District (ESWD) board and approved by their entire board. No single person was responsible for this decision. The goal was straightforward – to find a local source of water for the Highlands and separate them from Washington Water Services in order to devalue the water system so ESWD could buy it. This takeover was the primary intention of the Annexation voted upon by Rosario, Vusario, Otters Lair and Highlands residents on February 22, 2008. When the Highlands Board was approached by ESWD the idea was agreed to only under the strict stipulation that the Highlands would bear none of the expenses. This was a risk investment made by ESWD. If water of sufficient quantity and quality was found, then the residents of the Orcas Highlands Association would vote to accept ESWD as the purveyor of water for the community. Contrary to the misinformation, there was indeed a “contract� clearly spelled out as a “Memorandum of Understanding� (a legal agreement) dated October 27, 2009 and signed by both parties. Unfortunately, the drilling failed. The water located was found to be contaminated with E. coli and unsuitable. The project did not meet the requirements of the memorandum and therefore carried no further obligations on either party. ESWD did invest $90k in the process but it has not been worthless. They own the rights to the well and have a lease to the land. Perhaps this will not bring revenue in the near future, but I can imagine the investment will turn out to be very profitable as water sources on the island become scarce while demand increases. As the past President
of the Orcas Highlands Association, I can explain the agreement accurately and clearly. There is no reason to blame ESWD or the Highlands Board for a situation in which both acted with the best intentions. Jim Hennessey Orcas Highlands
Council member clears up confusion As you vote on solid waste, I encourage you to read the County Council Resolution that summarizes the anticipated changes to the solid waste services. This resolution can be found by following the link on the front page of the county website. The County Council created this resolution to describe the system under both the passage and failure of the ballot measure. I hope that this resolution answers many of your questions and helps you cast an informed vote. There are two items that I would like to clarify. While you may hear about Plan A and Plan B in the community, there is only one choice on your ballot. A majority vote of “Yes� will result in the implementation of the parcel based user charge and the system will be what is described as Plan A in the Resolution. A majority vote of “No� will result in no user charge and Plan B as described. Also, this vote is not about public versus private operation of the solid waste facilities. Under Plan A the operations of the facilities could be provided by the county, a nonprofit, or a for-profit enterprise. Under Plan B they could be provided by either a non-profit or for profit enterprise. The decision you are making is really two key 1) What type of facilities and services do you want to maintain? And 2) How do you want to pay for those facilities and services? The facilities, types of services, and how you are asked to pay for those, are fundamentally different between the two plans. Patty Miller County council
No on parcel fee The ballot measure asks us to vote: “Yes�: to approve a parcel based user charge and maintain the county’s involvement in the exiting system. The fee is relatively modest. Overall there is an increase in cost for everyone, OR “No�: to reject the parcel based fee and move

LETTERS FROM 6 toward a new system that may eliminate a lot of the overhead and capital cost structures. The new system would involve the contracting of services to private enterprises (e.g. San Juan Sanitation). It is so easy to “stay with what is� (existing system) and in this case vote yes and pay a $100 to $150 parcel fee. But the seductive nature of the small “fee� masks something much larger and long-term that is most troubling. From the SJC resolution 43-2011: A “yes� vote (Plan A) includes funds to maintain all three existing facilities. A “yes� vote provides new infrastructure funds of $ 1 $3 million for SJI. A “yes� vote may maintain the full staffing of about 12 full time employees at a cost approaching $900,000 annually (with cost of living increases over time and health benefit increases averaging 8 percent per year) – while a rejection of the measure provides funding for one part-time staff. A “no� vote (Plan B) implies a primarily route collection system for garbage and recycling – a new contracted and quasi privatized arrangement. A “no� vote allows the contracted entity to continue use of the facility. For clarity: these are two very different options. The real cost saving benefits derived from Plan B (a “no� vote) are precisely because that plan is no longer saddled with existing infrastructure and labor costs and instead a private contractor is using its existing infrastructure with the added incentive to find ways to improve service and reduce costs. The new system asks us to actually pay what it costs – period. Joe Cohen Orcas Island
Yes on parcel fee I’m voting “yes� on the solid waste parcel user charge. The fee is fair and it assures that we control our solid waste system. To charge an annual user charge and also reduce the per-container “tipping� fee so that the total income is limited to the amount necessary to keep the system working seems fair. Some may argue a fee based only on weight or volume is better, but don’t vote against this just because the council did not give you that option. Should the measure fail,
the council will turn over the solid waste system to a contractor – perhaps from the mainland – even though that is not the question on the ballot. No promise can be made that a contractor will cost you less or give you better service. It will be difficult to influence rates set by a commission in Olympia based on the information provided by the contractor. The contractor will be allowed full recovery of all costs to get the solid waste and recycling off-island to a landfill, and a healthy profit on top of that. Self-haul rates are unregulated, and could be expensive, which will cause people to deposit irregular loads at vacant properties. A “yes� vote will keep the self-haul facility open on each of the big islands. Without selfhaul, the reuse programs like “The Exchange� are sure to die. I live on a private road, far from curbside pickup. I’ll still have to haul garbage cans and recycling to the closest street on the day assigned. I want the privacy of dumping my own garbage, I want to keep critters from the roadside trash, and I don’t want trash cans all over our rural roadways. Join me and vote “yes� on the solid waste measure. Randall Gaylord SJC Prosecuting Attorney

Thanks, United Way On behalf of Orcas Island Prevention Partnership (OIPP), we wish to express our appreciation to the United Way of San Juan County. Its most recent grant to OIPP funded the “On Applebee Pond Puppets Program,� a best practice prevention curriculum that supports social skills development for preschool and elementary children. Our high school Point Blank youth leaders will use the curriculum to teach important friendship and social skills, including how to say “no� to alcohol, drugs and tobacco. The high school students will benefit through meaningful service, and our younger children will have additional support in learning positive social skills that are valuable to living a safe and healthy life. Over the years, United Way funding has made it possible for OIPP to sponsor parent education classes for elementary, middle, and high school parents, as well as youth leadership in prevention at the high school. United Way recognizes that prevention before problems start is the best solution for a safe and healthy community, and has been a consistent supporter of this mission through its fundraising and granting process. Please support United Way as the new campaign begins this fall. Moriah Armstrong and Patricia Ayers Orcas
CAO about hard choices Soon you will have the option of implementing, in a robust way, the recommendations of highly trained scientists, experts in the arcane and subtle interactions between man and his surroundings. If you do give life to their work it will not be because the people you have pleased will have out-shouted, at public hearings, the people you have angered. You know the reverse has been true, that, at these hearings, the opponents of these changes outnumber those who support them by eight to one. But this will not deter you, because you understand that county government has not listened to environmentalists for years, and you are not surprised to find that most not longer come to
such meetings. You know that they are many, and that the public hearings are not a vote. Nor will it be because you hope to avoid legal suits, for the people you will anger have more money to spend on lawyers than the people you will please. You know your decision will be challenged. For some of you, your own deep-seated political beliefs will be no help, because you fear you have given birth to that big, smothering government you detest, the snake constricting the landowner you see often in these pages. You must conclude it is a job which has to be done to protect what is special about our county, and ask yourself “If government does not do this job, who will?� So if you do turn these recommendations into policy, you will take a contested and uncharted stand, a departure from many years of comfortable stalling. You will make this difficult choice because you know it is the long-range interest

of this unique county and its creatures, and that the number of people you have finally heard outnumber those you have angered by far more than eight to one. Bill Cook Waldron
Tourism ideas Tourism generates 120 million dollars a year for the San Juan Islands. People don’t know about the San Juan Islands. Most in Seattle, even Bellingham haven’t taken the ferry trip. Occasionally up to 1,200 seats are vacant on a run that must take place according to the commitment the WSDOT has made to our communities. I am looking for like-minded local business investors and innovators to brainstorm a discussion about how the ferries can benefit the islands. Topics: adding 200 people to each ferry trip on average could generate $50,000 a day in additional ferry “excursion� fare profit; an excursion would include meals, a naturalist talk, music and
entertainment. The excursion ticket would be $100 for two; the bulk of new riders would not get off the ferries. Benefits to residents include Free transportation on the ferry; a yearly dividend from the operations; no additional loads on sewers, water systems, roads; ability to produce a new San Juan Island’s cruise line, owned and operated by a San Juan Islands Economic Cooperative; on-board broadband internet for broadcasts from the islands to the ferries; chefs and seasonal workers could serve the passengers; musicians and artists could show their wares. This would be a way to maximize the off-season availability of empty seats, without impacting the islands’ delicate balance, and offering naturalists and visitor advisors/trip planners an opportunity to shape the experience between tourists and islanders.

Guest columns More island control is needed for solid waste by GEORGE POST
This issue is not the result of public complaints. Remember, we have a waste system that allows us to haul our own garbage to our public transfer stations or have it picked up by the private franchise hauler, San Juan Sanitation. This proposition was put on the ballot by the County Council because they can no longer avoid the long-known fact that funding our waste system solely with income from the volume of garbage we export does not work and that some form of public funding is required. Over the past 30 years, there have been multiple recommendations from both the Solid Waste Advisory Committee and county staff to the commissioners and council persons to address this fundamental funding flaw, but they all hoped that another tipping fee increase or service decrease would keep them from having to ask the citizens to help fund their own waste system. Had we all chipped in even a fraction of the $100/ year from the beginning we would never have amassed today’s deficit. We long ago abandoned the national, state and county goals of reducing the amount of waste we export,
after all, that is our source of income. Curiously, all of the surveys and public meetings around county waste policy indicate a high level of support for reuse, recycling, self-hauling, hazardous waste programs and ecological concerns. Why is it that one of the wealthiest, lowest taxed, politically progressive, self governed, environmentally aware communities anywhere is unable to successfully fund and manage its most basic public service? First and foremost, we are not one community. We are separate, rural, island communities each with its unique facilities and social characteristics. So we require multiple transfer stations and transportation costs are higher and we need additional waste capacity to accommodate seasonal tourists. Like gas and food, waste costs more than in other places. Thinking it can be otherwise is foolishness and has led us to this funding crisis. Our island parochialism also keeps us from acting together in our collective best interests. Some on Lopez would like to go it alone, with the county’s facilities and its “Take it or Leave It.” Orcas has the Exchange, a transfer station

George Post and ample space for more reduction opportunities. San Juan is pretty much wedded to the town’s facility, such as it is, and their limitations are threatening to become everyone’s. These differences are real and suggest that more island control is needed, but privatization will result in nothing left to control, especially waste reduction efforts. We need to keep our waste system in public hands, fund it adequately and, yes, see that it serves our needs. If we are willing because of past mistakes to abandon our community infrastructure investment and our waste reduction goals and trade them for the profit motives of a trucking company, what does that reveal about our future ability as a county to adapt to challenges to our collective best interests?
Defeat of the parcel fee ballot measure does not mean mandatory curbside collection. Defeat of the ordinance means the end of county operations of solid waste transfer stations – which have been badly managed and governed for years, have been two to three times as expensive as those on the mainland, and even with such high prices have run up a substantial deficit. If the county gets out of the solid waste business, users of route collection services will see lower rates, the county’s people and businesses would pay less overall, and for- and non-profit entities will very likely provide more efficient and comprehensive solid waste services – including “self-haul” for all who need or want it. The county currently only “transfers” most garbage and co-mingled recycling. All other waste services are already provided by somebody else. Careful and conservative economic modeling indicates that a

between discouraged workers and deliberately retired folks. The population of San Juan County was last estimated at 15,769. Subtracting the county’s 3,657 residents over the age of 65, and
private operator can provide drop off (“self-haul”) garbage and recycling service at cost lower than the county will or can, making a modest profit doing so. This is because of lower overhead and lower staffing – not low-paid labor – hauling direct to the mainland, as the Town of Friday Harbor does now. Competition with route collection and direct haul to the mainland (once the monopoly protection of “flow control” is rescinded) will ensure that prices stay reasonable. Plan A and the parcel fee doesn’t improve cost efficiency or substantially broaden service. Prices at the dump will drop, subsidized by the parcel fee imposed on virtually all developed parcels (excepting those in the Town of Friday Harbor, whose residents get to vote on the fee but don’t pay it). The great bulk of parcels will pay $100 a year, ($150 with ADU) without regard to the actual amount of solid waste they dispose of – which ranges widely – plus dump and/or pickup service fees. Families generating more solid waste than average will pay less than their fair share, and those who
the 2,708 children in high school or younger yields a potential working age population of 9,404 residents. An alternative calculation: social security benefits are received by 5,285 residents. Removing minors and social security recipients from the county’s total population yields a potential labor pool of 7,776. With a job count of 5,840 and based on a potential labor pool of 7,776 to 9,404, the county’s unemployment rate could be anywhere from 25 to 38 percent. Just to complicate matters, San Juan County’s 2010 mail-in census return rate
generate less will pay more. The more you throw away, the greater the subsidy. Recycling will be priced below the full cost of handling and disposal. That means that garbage, and the parcel fee, is priced higher. It also means that co-mingled recycling is subsidized, which undercuts efforts to provide segregated materials recycling. HHW, litter, noxious weed disposal would continue as current in both Plan A and B, paid for with the excise tax county intends to continue to collect. The parcel fee is ill conceived and unfair – and, as structured, won’t make the system “sustainable.” Because the total collected, even in the first years, doesn’t fully cover fixed costs, the system will continue to be vulnerable to volume swings. And it’s set for 15 years, so increases in all costs will require greater increase in tipping and gate fees.

was just 47 percent – evidence that residents aren’t too fond of divulging personal information. It seems likely some residents managed to remain uncounted due to their immigration status or other personal reasons. The census acknowledges a potential error margin of 108 people. “The reported rate also doesn’t count the underemployed,” Kynch told the Sounder - those who are working part-time or are overqualified for their job, like a skilled carpenter working as a dishwasher to get by.

No on renewing land bank REET by WALLY GUDGELL
The San Juan County Land Bank tax will once again be considered by voters in the upcoming election. The land bank is funded through a buyer’s excise tax of 1 percent of the price of any real estate purchase, and these funds are used for conservation easements or fee simple purchases of critical areas to preserve them in perpetuity. For example, if a property sells for $400,000, the buyer pays $4,000 to the land bank in addition to other taxes and fees. Surprisingly, in this county, 30 to 40 percent of purchases are made by people who already live here, so a significant portion of land bank funds are paid by San Juan County citizens.
I served on the original Open Space Committee that started the San Juan County Land Bank. With others, I helped lobby the bill through the state legislature and write the concepts that the land bank mission would be based upon. I was on the original board as vice chair and during that time was involved in the acquisition of such legacy properties as Limekiln Point, Watmough Bay, Weeks Wetland, Warm Valley and Eastsound Waterfront Park. After leaving the board, I continued to be active in efforts such as the preservation of Turtleback Mountain, Buck Park, Crow Valley, Judd Cove, and others. The land bank was conceived in a time when there was rampant, unfocused
Wally Gudgell development, zoning for nearly triple the number of homes as now, and weak and ineffectual regulatory control. Today the situation is very different, with the Growth Management Act funneling most growth into established village/hamlet areas, rural density cut in half, and a regulatory environment that has swung the other way, making development expensive and complex. The land bank has exceeded the highest hopes of those who were involved in its inception. It has been extremely effective and well-managed, conserving sensitive areas, providing public access to beautiful landscapes, and contribut-

ing greatly to the quality of life in these islands. When drafting the original ordinance I was concerned that there be a sunset clause so that it would not be yet another tax locked in for perpetuity. It warranted periodic reassessment as times changed. With the continuing work of organizations such as the San Juan Preservation Trust, growth being more significantly limited now by down zoning and the GMA, and an economy where every penny counts, I am uncertain whether this tax on our citizens is still necessary. Of course we all want to preserve the beauty of this spectacular environment, but perhaps the land bank tax is not such a necessary part of that task anymore. Generally taxes are problematic because most of them never terminate. In this case we have a choice.

The lady Vikings treated their fans to a display of ferocious determination and team spirit against Friday Harbor on Oct. 18. They held steady for much of the first half, repelling Wolverine attacks, but Friday Harbor pressure remained fast and furious, and keeper Julia Bailey faced continual rough-andtumble onslaughts, leaping for mid-air saves. The Wolverines pierced Orcas defenses on fast breaks and corner kicks, finally sealing the win 5-0.

Sounder contributor
The Orcas Vikings football team shut out the Darrington Loggers 27-0 on Oct. 22 at home. The team improved to 2-2 in league play and is in position for a second place finish in the Northwest-Seatac League, which would qualify them for the playoffs. Orcas scored on its third possession on a 20-yard touchdown run by Aubrey Schermerhorn. Weather conditions deteriorated as
the Vikings took the 6-0 lead into the second quarter. Devon Stanzione scored on a 31-yard pass from Robbie Padbury, making the score 12-0 after a missed twopoint play. Freshman Joey Susol came up with the play of the game when he blocked a punt deep in Logger territory. The Vikings quickly cashed in with an eightyard touchdown pass from Padbury to Keenan Phalan, making the score 19-0 after

Viking team spirit was high last week. The varsity volleyball team won all three matches against Friday Harbor during a home game on Oct. 18. The scores were 25-20, 25-19, 25-21. Viking Senior Kathryn Tidwell scored 12 kills, served five aces and racked up a .389 hitting efficiency. Junior Jenna Tully added eight kills and had a .231 hitting efficiency. Freeda Crow finished the match with three blocks in the middle. The Vikings also beat the Wolverines on Sept. 28 during a five-match contest, 3-2. During the game, the Orcas girls – and coach Gregg Sasan – wore pink in honor of breast cancer awareness and passed out pink ribbons. The girls played their final home game against Concerete on Oct. 25 after the Sounder went to press. As of this printing, the Vikings were in third place at 6-2 in league play.

Island Living
From idea to
reality Creating such items as a magnetic engine and decals that could save an animal’s life, islanders are true inventors
by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Associate Publisher
The San Juans are home to scientists, writers, doctors, professors, firefighters, engineers and more. So it’s no surprise that these island communities produce exciting projects. Profiled below are two inventions in the works on Orcas Island.
Trimetatron magnetic engine Orcas could be the birthplace of the world’s first working magnetic engine. “This is huge,� said lead engineer Jeremiah Sturk. “To have something like this running is earth-shaking.� A group of Orcas Islanders are part of team building a magnetic engine. The project is currently in the research and development phase. Sturk hopes to finish securing investors and launch a prototype in October 2012. The first model will be designed to power three homes and is the size of a small household generator. Sturk says the final engine will be able to power cars, boats, trains, buses, heavy equipment and “anything that has prime movement.� Sturk is being assisted by engineer Scott Kantrud and Christian Alber, who is a business partner and engineer. Other islanders involved in the project are media producer Phyllis Lewis, administrator Sherri Pierson, attorney Shawn Alexander and investor Dan Stephens. “This has the potential for a good, clean energy source that doesn’t rely on gasoline,� Stephens said. “That is the passion behind this.� The “Trimetatron Magnetic Engine: Orion 1 prototype� will have three six-inch wide, 10-inch diameter rotors. Nine pyramid magnetics located in each rotor alleviate drag and friction while rotating at 3,000 RPM. Rotors will be made from material that can withstand
the centrifugal force that is created by the speed, rotation and weight of the magnets and pressure from the magnetic field. A shielding material is used in the rotors to channel the magnetic fields to create usable energy. The stater housing that the motors will be injected into contain 18 tracks that retain nine magnets per track and 135 magnets total. The machine has been designed to make assembling and disassembling easy. For more information, go to www. trimetatron-motors.com or email trimetatron@gmail.com.

He commuted to California from Orcas for two years before settling on the island full-time in 2006. And that’s when he got to thinking. “Being a firefighter is as much a mental game as it is a physical game,â€? he said. “But you can’t think about it when you are at work ‌ it would tear you apart.

Community Shakespeare announces fall season Members of the Community Shakespeare Company will present The Laramie Project at Lopez Center for Community and the Arts from Nov. 9-12. The play will be performed by a combined student and adult cast, the first non-Shakespeare play ever undertaken by the company. Performances are recommended for adults and children 12 and older because of strong language and subject matter. No violence takes place on stage. The Laramie Project is a powerful and moving true story composed of residents’ reactions to the beating and death of a gay University of Wyoming student by two local young people in 1998. The play is set in the aftermath of the murder, as citizens from all walks of life struggle to cope with their feelings: how could this have happened in a town where they all felt safe; where many
of them knew the victim, the perpetrators, or both? “People ask why I chose this particular play,� said company director Richard Carter. “Doing something different was a studentdriven decision, and adults constantly ask to be involved in our plays, so I read a number of traditional and modern plays with large casts, and this one spoke to me. It’s a good fit for our company and our community.� There will be two preview performances on Wednesday, Nov. 9 at noon and 7 p.m., with admission by donation at the door. Regular performances will be Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Nov. 10-12, at 7 p.m. Admission is $10 for youth age 17 and under; adult tickets are $15. Tickets are at Paper Scissors on the Rock, and the CSC website: www.communityshakespeare.org. Remaining tickets will be sold at the door.
OPALCO’s ‘MORE’ pays dividends Earlier this year, a volunteer group of OPALCO members built a new green power program in support of local renewable energy – electricity generated by fellow co-op members and interconnected to OPALCO’s distribution system. OPALCO members contribute to the MORE (Member Owned Renewable Energy) program with voluntary donations on their monthly bills to fund incentive payments to MORE renewable energy producers. The first MORE incentives were paid out to producers for the first annual cycle of the program that ended June 30, 2011. There are 14 local OPALCO member producers signed up with the MORE Program. The total in incentives paid for 2011 was $5,493; and the total allowable kilowatt hours generated was 18,311 (two systems generated more than the 4,000 kWh cap). All of the MORE member generators are solar and
together they produced a total of 23,925 kWh of local, clean and renewable energy. There are two ways OPALCO members can participate in the MORE Program: as producers members who install new renewable energy systems and interconnect to the OPALCO grid; and as contributors – members who opt for monthly or one-time donations to support the MORE fund. As of Sept. 30, 465 contributors are purchasing $4 “blocks� of green power each month for a total of 985 blocks in support of the MORE Program. In addition, there are 45 MORE “Superheroes� (co-op members who have elected to go “all green�) paying a fourcent premium in addition to their regular charge per kWh. Participation is currently at 4.8 percent of the membership. To participate, check the “green power� box on your paper bill or call 376-3500.
a successful extra point with 5:40 left in the half. Orcas put the game out of reach early in the second half when Schermerhorn pounded the ball into the end zone behind blocking by the offensive line for his second rushing touchdown. A successful two-point conversion drew the final points of the game. The Vikings hunkered down into a run offense for the rest of the game in order to use the clock while younger players got time on the field. Dan Briggs had an interception while Stanzione had 12 tackles. Schermerhorn had 67 yards on 14 carries and two touchdowns while Phalan had three catches for 35 yards and a touchdown. The team will battle the Concrete Lions at home on Oct. 29 at 1:30 p.m.

Steve Olson is the author of “Mapping Human History.� The Orcas Crossroads Fall Lecture Series concludes on Saturday, October 29 with “Early Humans and You: Discovering the Past through our Genes.� Organizers say award-winning writer Steve Olson will describe “one of the most profound insights� to be gleaned from the Human Genome Project: the unity of the human species at the genetic level. The talk is at 7:30 p.m. at Orcas Center, followed by a question-and-answer period and reception with the speaker. For more than 30 years Olson has written about genetics, race, human origins, evolution, climate change, education, talent, competition, and punk rock music. Olson’s book “Mapping Human History: Genes, Race and our Common Origins,� uses the genetic differences found in people today to reconstruct the last 150,000 years of human history. Tickets are available at the Orcas Library, Darvill’s Bookstore or at www.orcascrossroads.org. Some tickets are at the door.

The Lopez Lobos football team is undefeated, with a 6-0 season record. “Racking up impressive numbers of total yards gained in the season, number of passes completed, number of pass interceptions, and 298 total points, the football team is very likely to be in post-season play,� said Lopez superintendent Bill Evans. He also said the team, coached by Larry Berg, Nate Borg and Aaron Dye, has exhibited “exceptional sportsmanship.� Team member Tommy Kramer was recently named “State Class 1-B Athlete of the Week� by the WIAA/ Seattle Times. The Lobos’ last home game is on Oct. 29 against Evergreen Lutheran. Coached by Melanie Weber and Ali Nicole, the young, co-ed Lopez soccer team continues to give their all this season as they face more experienced and often all-male teams. The athletes are enthusiastically racking up valuable playing
time and have been recognized by other teams for their sportsmanship. The team's last home game is on Oct. 20. The Lobos volleyball team is having a winning season: with 11 wins and 1 loss, they are undefeated in league play. The aggressive Lady Lobos have qualified for post-league play and racked up impressive statistics. Evans said many fans are booking motel rooms for state championships in Yakima. Coached by David (Chico) Chicovsky, and Isabelle Tetu, the team has also received recognition for fair play and sportsmanship. Evans said Lopez School District will be running a full athletic program this winter and expects a big turnout. High school basketball will be coached by M.R. Buffum (boys) and Larry Berg (girls). Game schedules will be posted online at http://www.lopezislandschool.org/programs/ sports.

Guest column Children and domestic violence October is Domestic Violence Awareness month. This is the final column in a series by local professionals. by ANITA CASTLE DVSAS director
It’s estimated that 3.3 to 10 million children in the United States annually are exposed to domestic violence in their homes. This environmental hurricane creates behavioral, emotional and psychological problems in adolescence and adulthood. Despite what parents think, children are aware when DV occurs in their homes. There is substantial sociological and psychological research that documents the harmful effects on children of exposure to violence irrespective of direct victimization. Recent studies have confirmed the impact of DV on infant brain development. Infants who are exposed to DV demonstrate marked changes in their brains and nervous systems, resulting in sleep disturbance and delayed emotional development. Other studies have shown the prevalence of future therapeutic issues in response to witnessing DV, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder, which con-
tinues through adolescence into adulthood. Children who witness DV may suffer severe emotional and development problems similar to those suffered by children who are the direct victims of child abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse. Common themes in the homes of these children are criticism, belittlement, anger, intimidation and ridicule, sooner or later leading to physical abuse. Many adults who grew up in this type of dysfunctional home acknowledge their fear of the world around them. They feel depressed, anxious and usually selfmedicate to alleviate painful emotions. As adolescents these adults report they felt shameful, guilty and would flee their environment as much as possible. They would isolate or join up with other dysfunctional and broken peers. Others felt ultra-responsible and afraid of leaving their parent alone for fear of coming back to a suicide or more violence. This is not an uncommon role for a child living in an abusive home. These children are burdened with picking up the pieces after the storm and being the shoulder for a parent to cry on.
Anita Castle As one adult describes his childhood, “The biggest issue for me as a child was not knowing why or understanding why everyone around me was always yelling, screaming and hurting each other. I’m always afraid. Afraid of everyone and everything around me. I hate being scared all the time and want to isolate. My past haunts me and I’m scared of people and the world around me.� As the director and therapist for DVSAS of the San Juan Islands, I hear many stories firsthand like the above. I mostly see the “adult children.� I use this term because many of these people are stuck emotionally as little children or teens and their struggles are huge. Nevertheless, many of those who seek our services are courageous, intelligent and genuinely want to change their lives. The Family Options program at DVSAS can help. This child abuse prevention program was created to help those emotionally injured adults be better parents for

their children. Its primary objective is to stop the intergenerational pattern of emotional and abusive behavior that characterizes a dysfunctional and high conflict family. It’s specifically targeted at those who indeed want to break the cycle of abuse. Adults who grew up in violent homes tell us that having just one trusted person to confide in made a big difference to them as children, even if that person could not end the abuse in their families. Here are some suggestions for talking with a child who has been exposed to family violence: t -JTUFO DBSFGVMMZ UP CPUI what the child is saying and the emotions he or she is expressing. Validate the child’s feelings and his or her desire to express them. Accept what the child is telling you and express your concern calmly without shock or dismay. t 3FBTTVSF UIF DIJME UIBU the abuse is not his or her fault. t $IJMESFO GSPN WJPMFOU homes often experience
Page 15
divided loyalties, loving and resenting both parents. Acknowledge these feelings and reassure the child that this is normal for his or her situation. Try not to pass judgment. t )FMQ UIF DIJME QSFQBSF a safety plan. Help the child create a list of people he or she can talk to, safe places to go in and near the child’s home, and make sure he or she knows how to call 911. t 3FNFNCFS UIBU DIJM dren are expected to keep secret the abuse that is occurring in their homes and that they are putting themselves at risk by telling their story. Every action you take should be considered in light of its potential to jeopardize the safety of the child and his or her family. t 'JOBMMZ EP OPU QSPNJTF to keep the abuse secret, because you may find you need to break that promise. Do not tell anyone else without first explaining your actions to the child. It took courage for the child to speak to you, and breaking the child’s trust will
undermine the child’s willingness to communicate with you and others. As community members we have a choice. We can ignore the impact of domestic violence on children and leave children to fend for themselves or we can commit ourselves to providing the resources necessary to assist these children to live less traumatic and more productive lives. And don’t forget the “adult children.� They may negatively impact our community as well, by driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs or engaging in acts of domestic violence themselves, for example. Please join us and take advantage of our resources to end domestic violence in the San Juan Islands. Anita Castle is the director of DVSAS.
