A day in the life of a mercy pilot

Last year an Orcas child almost fainted during an afterschool sports activity. She told concerned adults that because it was a halfday for school – meaning no cafeteria lunch – she had had nothing to eat since her school breakfast. “This is the type of person that is getting this pack [of food],” said local Packs for Kids program coordinator Rita Bailey. “When I hear stuff like that I think, how can it be on this island that we have kids that are hungry? These are kids that our kids are in sports teams with, or have playdates with, and you may not know that there is this need – that they are hungry.” Counselors at Orcas Schools believe there at least 40 children attending Orcas Island Elementary and Middle Schools who may not be getting adequate food on weekends or school half-days. These kids qualify for free or reduced school meals, but may not be getting enough to eat outside of school. Orcas Islanders are responding with a collaborative project between the Food Bank, the Orcas Island, PTSA, teachers and the Readiness to Learn program. Through a new program called “Packs for Kids,” they will supply food-filled packs for these children every Friday before school lets out. Anonymity is carefully guarded, and only school counselors know which children are participating. Once their parents fill out a permission form, kids can discreetly stop by a designated school office and tuck their bag inside a locker or backpack. Foods include shelf stable milk, cereal, cup noodles, pop-top tins of ravioli/spaghetti or mac and cheese, tuna salad and crackers, peanut butter crackers, granola bars, raisins, fruit cups, applesauce,

The fate of a fishing boat that ran aground and sank near Decatur Island appears to be sealed. Since the TW Legacy now rests some 120 feet below the surface of Thatcher Pass, a watery grave swept by strong currents, state and federal officials are inclined to leave it alone - at least for now. State Department of Ecology spokesman Larry Altose said the risks would outweigh the benefits of making an attempt to recover the relatively small amount of diesel fuel believed to be onboard, some 50 gallons or so. “We didn’t see the need given the risks and the amount of fuel onboard,” he said of sending divers to such a depth. “In addition, the sea bed is very rocky and that would make it much more complex and risky for a dive in that area.”

Madden Shanks, Marina Steinbrueck, Gavin Guard, Jade Cooper-Yockers, MacKenzie Brown, Derrek Buffum, and Hanifah McGovern also qualified. Brunner-Gaydos received a Platinum Showmanship Medal in Performance Showmanship. “Very few 4H members accomplish this prestigous medal,” said Stankevich. Daria and her horse Rockn’ Storm Dancer won overall high point performance for both rider and horse.
Aimee Johnson graduated from Saint Leo University with her first college degree, a Bachelor of Science in Health Care Administration. “The staff at Orcas Family Health Center would like to congratulate Aaimee,” said her employer, Dr. David Shinstrom. “This is no small feat considering that at the same time as taking final exams, writing research papers, and developing community programs, Aaimee was raising three children and working full time as office manager of Orcas Family Health Center.” Johnson said a Women’s Opportunity Award from the Soroptomists International of Friday Harbor helped her achieve her goal. “I’m so proud, and thankful, Contributed Photo and grateful.

Orcas vet publishes her first book By MEREDITH M. GRIFFITH Staff reporter
Orcas veterinarian Jill Bates’ first novel will make its debut at Darvill’s Bookstore on Thursday, Sept. 15. “My cheeks are so big I can’t fit through the door, I’m smiling so much,” said Bates. “[Writing the book] wasn’t hard work; you had to drag me away from it.” A fictional work of magical realism entitled “Flying Fish, Giants and Black Coffee,” the story weaves a narrative about small town life featuring “deliciously wicked characters” and “a strange twist.” Without following in the muck-boot tracks of famous country vet James Herriott, the tale is still crawling with critters. “Animals of all kinds are creeping around inside the pages,” Bates said. Bates has always loved stories, and counts among her favorite authors A.A. Milne, J.R.R. Tolkein, C.S. Lewis, Ian Fleming, J.M. Barie, Hugh Lofting and Lewis Carroll, adding, “And of course, we can never forget the stories of the Brothers

I would read to my brother and I would put in my own [scary] parts, and he would sit with his covers under his chin, saying, “You’re making that up!” Bates has written several short stories and stowed away quite a stash of memories of her veterinary career. But all that’s on the back-
burner as Bates takes pen to let loose the sequel to “Flying Fish, Giants and Black Coffee.” “When I sit down I have no idea what I am going to write, and it just comes out,” she said. She is regularly surprised by her characters, sayng, “I don’t even come up with names; they just name themselves.” Bates’ friends Max Trulio
and Lynn McGinnis have a favorite saying about the new book: “Move over, Harry Potter. Take your teeth out, Twilight.” Bates self-published the book through CreateSpace. The book reading, signing and celebration will begin at 6 p.m. For more information, call Darvill’s at 3762135.

OPAL online auction, dinner gala A beautiful 12-foot “Whitehall” rowing skiff, made in Victoria, B.C., is one of the featured items up for bid in OPAL’s second annual online auction this fall. “Bidders may find bargains on things they need or would buy anyway, and every dollar goes to support permanently affordable housing on Orcas,” said auction chair Helen Bee. Over 100 auction items, mainly local goods and services, include wine, restaurant gift certificates, propane, gravel for your driveway, automotive lube jobs, haircuts, massages, pilates, yoga classes, jewelry and crafts, a boat “haul out” at West Sound Marina, local boating trips, a few exotic travel items and several off-island restaurant and lodging choices.
“Whitehall skiffs, described as ‘distinctively elegant and extremely practical, are particularly prized by boating folks,” organizers say. “The skiff was built in 1993 but has been very lightly used and is in great shape.” The model was called a Tyee-12 at the time it was made, but is now marketed as a Westcoast 11’6” rowboat. It is made from fiberglass, with teak trim, and is rigged to use with either a small outboard motor or spoon oars. While there are potentially two rowing spots, the donor says that it works best with only one rower. The oars come with the boat, as does a canvas cover and an EZ Loader trailer. OPAL invites all islanders to bid. “It’s easy, and the com-
petitive spirit may catch you,” organizers say. To begin, click the “register” link found at the top center the auction web page. OPAL’s annual benefit dinner and gala will be held on Saturday, Oct. 1, at Orcas
Center. Tickets are $125. For reservations, call 376-3191. A “dessert rush” and paddle raise for OPAL will be held at the gala again this year. OPAL’s only auction this year wil be the online event.

Madrona Point is not open to the public
I
t’s a great disappointment to many islanders that Madrona Point is officially closed to the public. And vandalism to the land does not help community efforts to mend bridges with the Lummi Nation. On Aug. 3, deputies confiscated a human skull from a 19-year-old Orcas Island man who claims to have stumbled upon it while digging for arrowheads near property belonging to the Lummi Nation at Eastsound’s Madrona Point. The skull reportedly still had dirt embedded in it at the time it was seized by deputies. The bones of Lummi Indians and mixed blood settlers have been buried at the point for centuries. According to Sergeant Steve Vierthaler, the FBI may investigate incidents that occur on Madrona Point. Here is a little history. In 1967, Seattle businessman Norton Clapp purchased the 30-acre land from the Harrison family. In the mid-1980s he announced his plan to build a condo development. Clapp also owned most of Turtleback Mountain. When word reached the Orcas community, a grassroots effort to save the point was launched. The project garnered support from the county, the Church Council of Greater Seattle, and eventually Congress, which negotiated with Clapp to purchase the property for $2.2 million. It was then turned over to the Lummi Nation. In a memorandum of understanding signed by the Lummi Nation and San Juan County in 1989, the Lummis agreed to “manage the property as an open space, natural area and forest, open to individuals and groups for walking and educational purposes” with permission of the tribe. In 2007, after 17 years of public access, the Lummis closed off the point to visitors, citing disrespect to the land. Vierthaler says that if he sees people walking on the point, he escorts them off the property. “We make every effort to enforce it,” he said. If there is any hope of the land being re-opened, treating the area with respect is paramount. Please, stay off Madrona Point.

To the Editor: Another critical area to look at: humans Protect critical habitat; save threatened species; pay high ferry fees; expand the urban growth area; expand the sewer district; taxes for school remodel; excuses for high grocery prices; excuses for high gas prices – I can’t help but wonder: when will the middle working class, retired seniors, and the poor become the threatened species on the island and elsewhere? As homeowners, we already pay taxes for homes valued much less (if we are forced to sell) than what they are appraised at. People all across this nation of ours mistrust anything with “government” attached to it, and for good reason – our very existence seems to be at stake and they are the ones, in my opinion, who are responsible. We have given and given and what we seem to always get from what we have given is that they always want more. Medicare, social security and any organization created to help those with moderate to low incomes are becoming threatened. I feel it’s past the time to stand up to this assault and tell them we’re not going to take it anymore. But people in this situation are in fight or flight mode, fighting harder every day, and are afraid of losing what they do have to make a stand and hope things will change. I have lived here for a quarter of a century and like many, I have worked hard and given up much so my wife and I can remain here, but we have no more to give to a government bent on our extinction.

out of his way to selflessly haul it all the way back here. A 750-pound piece is major weight to be hauling cross-country; most people in larger towns would just pass on it and let it be hauled by commercial carrier at considerable cost.

Take heed from Irene Like the folk song, “Goodnight Irene,” Hurricane Irene has left many tales of woe in its path of destruction. Emergency Managers frequently use these examples as cautionary tales, and this is another plea to readers to prepare their homes and neighborhoods for a disaster such as an earthquake. What is different this time is that I am asking readers to look at a blog from Woodstock, Vermont. The editor of the Woodstock Early Bird blog, at woodstockearlyworm. wordpress.com, has been chronicling events in a small town in central Vermont since the onset of the storm. The blog has ended up being a primary source of local news and information for those in the area. Woodstock residents have suffered damaging flooding, hazmat incidents, loss of their public water supply, power outages, road damage leaving areas completely isolated, and more. It’s not just stories of damage; now there are cleanup parties and community suppers as residents pull together to bounce back from the flooding. Just like islanders, Vermonters are a hardy bunch. So yes, this is a cautionary tale

and a plea. Take some time to review your own preparedness. We can learn from the experience and story of this small town in Vermont. If you are starting from square one, here is your first step: store one gallon of water for each person and pet in your household per day for one week (seven gallons per person and pet). See the San Juan County and Town of Friday Harbor Department of Emergency Management website for more preparedness information at sanjuandem.net/prepare or call 370-0587 for assistance and information in preparing your family and neighborhood.

Vote ‘no’ on upcoming Solid Waste ballot initiative The County Council has spoken, and a ballot initiative will be presented to the voters this fall for a long term parcel fee to raise money for the county solid waste program. Citing a large accumulated “deficit” and a “must do” approach, you will be asked to approve the new fee, or fall back to the “only other option” the council says it will consider, a curbside pickup, which is unworkable for many island residents. What the council hasn’t told you is that county records show failure to manage the solid waste program in keeping with practices of neighboring counties, top-heavy $200,000 “Administrative Costs,” and still the highest overall cost
WWW.ISLANDSSOUNDER.COM
of garbage service in the state. The only rational “transparent” method of funding solid waste disposal is the near nationwide practice of non-tax supported “Payas-you-throw” economics, where those using the disposal system pay the actual costs of disposal at the dropoff point. This provides the incentive of cost minimization, recycling, and does not burden homeowners without regard to their generation of trash. What to do? The “accumulated deficit” can be retired in a single year by a one-time tax or fee lower than what the ordinance will charge each year for its fifteen-year life. Reduced cost operating options exist for taking solid waste operation completely out of county hands, as done in Whatcom County, or by maintaining county involvement with realistic management and bare-bones operating costs in accordance with other counties. Economies are achievable. Vote “NO” on the parcel fee – No new long term fees or taxes – and call for re-evaluation and competent management of the program.

Dog Daze a success The Board of Directors of the Orcas Island Off-Leash Dog Park wanted to give back to the community as our expression of gratitude for such generous support. So we threw a party. What joy to see dogs and people mingling, playing and just having fun, meeting new
and old friends. There were several highlights. The water balloon toss between partners was hilarious, with some dogs interfering with each toss. People had so much fun that they kept getting new balloons when theirs broke. Local deputy Bruce Distler showed incredible good humor, allowing kids to throw water-soaked balls at his waterproofed vest. What a good sport! Bruce added a great deal of fun for everyone and provided good PR for the Orcas sheriff ’s department. We even had Search and Rescue German Shepherds putting on a display of their skills. There was a relay in which people had to put on a hat, run to a squirt gun, squirt a balloon, honk a bicycle horn, blow bubbles and run back to the finish line. The kids, with dogs running along with them, had too much fun to do it only once. Professional photographer Damien Stark donated his time and took portraits of dogs and their families, which are online, available to be printed. There was a Frisbee demonstration, and a contest to see how many balls dogs could bring back in their mouths. They all did well, although they didn’t know it was a contest and returned at their own leisurely pace. Lucy, Lola, Riley and Charlie were all winners. The highlight of the day was Lesley Liddle’s demonstration of the agility course. Pat Krugle and Pepper made it look easy. Colleen Armstrong’s trainer brought her German Shepherd, whom she claimed had never before tried the agility course. Her shepherd

Everyone knew Riley would remember, although some folks questioned Anne’s memory. Riley had had enough fun halfway through the course and ran to his daddy, Joe. Riley and Ann got a big hand for their efforts. The Board of the Dog Park offers a big thanks to all who came out to help us celebrate.

New county restrictions for your property The building industry across the nation is struggling. The same is true in San Juan County. The draft planning policies now being discussed by our local officials will make a difficult situation even worse for our local working families. Unless there is a change in policy direction, San Juan County will be asserting new management and use restrictions on more than 90% of the existing property parcels in the County.

Shoreline restrictions are adopted by the Council. By adding enhanced use restrictions and prohibitions around wetlands, streams, seasonal water courses and areas designated as wildlife habitat, steep slopes or flood areas, most private property in the County will be subject to an elevated level of Critical Area review or restriction. The designation for many existing homes will be changed and regulated as a non-conforming use. Compliance can be expensive. As a property owner in San Juan County, you will be welcoming a new managing partner for your property; your local County government staff. Decisions about uses and activities in any of the new Critical Area overlays and buffers will require government oversight, permission and conditions ... for a $ fee. Violations of the new regulations will be subject to legal action by the County under the new draft enforcement ordinance now before the Planning Commission. If passed, Community Development and Planning staff will be given enhanced police powers including sanctions with “tickets” issued and fines attached. If you are OK with the local Planning Department as a partner, and OK with being told portions of your land will be off limits to you and your family, just sit back and relax. If however, you have serious reservations about being treated as

SUNKEN
FROM 1
Based out of La Conner, the Legacy, a 62-foot commercial fishing boat, ran into a reef at the east end of Thatcher Pass at about 2 a.m. on Aug. 27, and sank later that day.
“Recovery would be a complex and expensive project.” — Larry Altose Altose said the vessel’s six-person crew, and later the U.S. Coast Guard, were unable to keep the boat upright and in place as the tide ebbed. It slid down a submerged embankment and came to rest about 120 feet below the surface. The crew was taken to a Coast Guard cutter and then transported to Bellingham. According to Coast Guard Petty Officer Nathan Bradshaw, the Legacy struck the rocks after its captain fell asleep at the wheel. A sheen of oil was spotted in the vicinity of the sunken
vessel the following day. For the time being, Altose said the area will continued to be monitored for possible pollution or fuel leaks. He said State Department of Ecology staff saw no sign of a fuel leak or sheen on Thursday while surveying the area in a helicopter provided by the King County Sheriff ’s office. Altose noted that divers venturing deeper than 65 feet require use of a hyperbaric chamber to provide decompression after they come to the surface, in order to prevent “the bends,” or decompression sickness. Such an operation would also require the use of tender boats as a platform for the chamber and to help keep the dive team in place, he said. Because diesel is a refined and light fuel product, as opposed to bunker fuel or crude oil, it’s expected to dissipate over time. Altose said that the owner of the Legacy may choose to try to recover the sunken vessel, or not. “It would be a complex and expensive project,” he said.

OPALCO equipment It’s harvest time at failure causes outage Orcas farmers’ market The afternoon of Aug. 31 at approximately 2:15 p.m, OPALCO linemen were performing routine maintenance in an underground vault located near the county sheriff ’s office on Mt. Baker Road when an equipment failure caused a fault and brief outage, said OPALCO representative Suzanne Olson. “Because the line crew was working in close proximity to the equipment failure, medical personnel were called to the scene,” Olson said. “OPALCO’s journey-
man lineman who was working in the vault was thoroughly checked and released with no injuries or complaints.” The equipment failure resulted in the loss of power to approximately 600 members in the Eastsound area. Power was restored by 3:30 p.m. Orcas Fire and Rescue chief Val Harris said the voltage was reported to be 7,200 volts, and that the crew member was pulled from the vault to safety by a co-worker.
“Had the man made physical contact with that amount of electricity, his heart would have likely stopped,” said Harris. “Happily, his co-workers did not have to use their CPR training on Wednesday.” Harris added, “It is a great time for all community members to think about brushing up on their CPR skills.” Information about CPR classes can be found at orcasfire.org. For more information, call 376-2331 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Brigid Ehrmantraut won the senior age division of the small animal Round Robin competition at the San Juan County Fair, showing her chickens, guinea pigs and pygmy goats. A seven-year 4-H participant, Ehrmantraut has been working toward the prize, a “beautiful and much sought-after belt buckle” sponsored by Skagit Farm Supply, for a few years now. In the Round Robin competition 4-H members spend three minutes handling their animals and answering general knowledge questions. Three age divisions include junior, intermediate and senior. “One of the joys of 4H for me is watching the kids teach each other,” said Ehrmantraut’s mom, Moana Kutsche. “Brigid has spent many hours helping other 4H members learn to show various animals, including some of her toughest competitors. She has also been an ambassador in the poultry barn and has worked with younger members to teach them about ‘barn duty’ and

Orcas Rec District updates By OIPRD chair Martha Farish Special to the Sounder
On July 20 the Port of Orcas loaned the Orcas Island Park and Recreation District $65,000, to be repaid in full within the first four years of the six years of voter approved tax funding. OIPRD has used the funds to begin legal operations, capitalize on a United States Tennis Association matching grant to fix the Buck Park tennis courts, and to begin development of an online registration and payment system for island recreational activities.
Other progress since May In May OIPRD received an interim year of insurance coverage for sponsored activities through a grant from The Orcas Island Community Foundation funded by Carl DeBoor. In June OIPRD purchased used recreational equipment owned by the county and the previous Orcas Rec program at the lowest legal price of $342, thanks to auditor Milene Henley and a grant from an anonymous donor. Greg and Marguerite Stafford donated funds to replace or repair aging athletic equipment. In late July the United States Tennis Association (USTA) awarded OIPRD a matching grant to resurface and re-line the Buck Park courts to accommodate both regular and Quick Start Tennis. Resurfacing took place the week of Aug. 17. Additional support from USTA was obtained for a “train-the-trainer” workshop scheduled for Sept. 7 at Buck Park. Co-hosted by the Orcas Island Tennis Association, the workshop will be conducted by nationally recognized trainer Ted Sayrahder and will prepare 25 or more island volunteers to teach or coach Quick Start Tennis. Quick Start Tennis encourages younger and older players to play tennis and to participate in USTA Quick Start tournaments on a smaller, shorter
court. The training is $10. To sign up, call 376-6199. USTA will also donate a state-approved Quick Start curriculum to OIPRD to enable the school district to incorporate Quick Start Tennis into the curriculum if desired. After a search, OIPRD has hired independent contractor and Orcas Islander Leslie Rae Schmitz for an interim period between August and January 2012. Schmitz comes to OIPRD highly recommended and with an impressive on- and off-island background in successful system development and project management. Schmitz will help the commissioners set up an accounting system to facilitate the transparency in accounting that donors and grant makers require while also answering to the demands of the state auditor. She will also help the commissioners oversee the selection and installation of an online program registration and payment system expected to be operational for the 2012 recreation season. In June OIPRD and OISD began collaborative and cooperative discussions toward the proposed legal transfer of Buck Park from OISD to the Orcas Park and Rec District. In July, OIPRD was given a $2,000 nondirected, anonymous, grant through the Seattle Foundation. OIPRD commissioners have decided to hire independent contracted services as needed in lieu of hiring permanent staff at this time. Many traditional OIPRD fall programs have been “picked up” by other providers and the commissioners feel the district’s start-up operations can be most efficiently handled by the board. Monies that might have gone to staffing are instead being directed toward infrastructure, including the accounting setup and the new online system.
Since Newton, scientifically minded people have thought of Earth as a lonely rock orbiting an average star in a universe where no place is special. But modern cosmology gives us a completely new picture based on dark matter, dark energy, and the drama of cosmic evolution.

With 2010 All-League players Robbie Padbury, Keenan Phalan, Devon Stanzione, Jake Zier and Tyler Jensen returning to anchor this year’s offense, expectations are high.
“We have a formidable offensive line with seniors Tyler Jensen, Di Mowrey, Randall Boetger, Mikail Van Maren joined by junior Jake Zier to lead the way for senior running back Aubrey Schermerhorn,” said head coach Scott Harris. “We are
going to spread the field and challenge our opponents with a diversified offensive scheme. Junior receivers Rylan Date, Dan Briggs and Devon Stanzione are battletested guys who will have a great impact for us.” Juniors Josh Bronn,
Herbie Sisson and Spencer Crowe will have important playing time on both sides of the ball as the season wears on. The Vikings welcome an enthusiastic group of underclassmen to the mix, led by sophomores Wayne Foster and Joe Kostecko.
Freshmen Gage Harlow, Jay Zier, Joey Susol, Dimitri Pence and Keenan O’Brien all have experience from an outstanding “Kings” youth football program that will help round out the team. Harris says he’s excited to improve on last season’s third place state trophy, as many of the starters that finished last season 11-2 and made it to the Tacoma
Dome in 2010 are back. “We clearly have the tools and experience to make it to the next level this season,” Harris said. “The senior leadership on this Viking team is remarkable. They have shown me how committed they are to winning with the dedication and character it takes to succeed at such a high level. I absolutely love this team.”

Volleyball coach Gregg Sasan isn’t quite sure what to expect. And it’s all part of the fun. “I only have three returning players with varsity experience,” he said. “It should be exciting!” Sasan’s primary goal this

year as head coach and his 29th year of working with the volleyball team. “His record really stands for itself,” said assistant coach Hank Date. “He has taken the Vikings to state 11 of his 19 years as head coach.” Sasan’s wife Louise has been an integral part of the coaching process. And this year he has another family member helping with coaching duties: daughter Sada Ashcraft, who went to state with her dad all four years of high school.

The soccer teams this fall have carried over some strong players, and added plenty of fresh new talent as well. “We did lose some talented players last year, particularly in defense, but at the same time we have a lot of new young but talented players with good skills coming up from the middle school team,” said boys coach Matt Stolmeier. “The middle school program is becoming a great feeder program for the high school team. Our young players have the technical skills to really step in and partake in the varsity squad, which is great.” Stolmeier said the roughly 16-player squad is mentally strong and the boys are playing well to highlight one another’s skills.

Lady Vikings soccer coach Chama Anderson said the girls’ team will enter the season with a strong foundation from last year. “This season we continue to build with a great deal of determination, will and potential,” said Anderson. On September 14 and 15, the teams will face La Conner, always a stiff match.
Last year the La Conner boys girls took second in league; the boys took the league champtionship, and third place in state. Although he expects the first three games - played within four days - to be tough, “I think it’s a huge turnaround year for us,” said Stolmeier. “I think we’re going to do quite well.”

Rylan Date, Clarabeth Smith, Robbie Padbury and coach Dennis Dahl. Last Sunday 20 football players spent half their day doing the backbreaking labor of pulling and “debarnacling” old PVC stakes from Crescent Beach shellfish beds. “It was arduous. It was really a lot of work,” said linebacker coach Mark Padbury. Padbury said the project was “a way to give back to the community.” The team convinced additional volunteers to participate: Milly Vaccarella, Coleen O’Brien,
Stella and Sofia Padbury, Sofie Thixton, Huxley Smart and Clarabeth Smith. The volunteers yanked each stake out of the sand, then painstakingly smashed off the barnacle encrustment using machetes or a device developed by Padbury that allowed them to pound the pipes through a small hole, sloughing off the barnacles in the process. Coach Dahl commented that the efficient device “saved our bacon.” After a hard morn-

ing’s work, the crew gratefully welcomed a sizzling lunch provided by Fire Smokehouse and Grill’s chef Everett Brooks. “They really stepped up and fed the troops,” said Padbury. “It was like the proverbial sandwich in a mirage when we got to eat.” Bill Bawden, owner of Judd Cove Shellfish, the company that once used the stakes, gratefully donated $1,000 to the team as a thank-you for its hard work.

‘By Request’ play is ‘simply superb’ Choral Society hosts open rehearsal for potential singers By Tom Welch
Special to the Sounder
“Crossing Over Damnation Creek” becomes increasingly spooky as Dove Dingman reveals a disturbing story, and “Highest Honor,” strongly acted by Zack Knight, will quickly put a lump in your throat. By the time she gets done reading Doug Bechtel’s “Car Keys” you’ll find it impossible to stifle the outbursts of laughter, but that’s okay – the rest of us will be helpless, too. “Character Sketch” is really three character sketches, part of a complete play being written by Bill Westlake. The first, “Cynthia,” read by Katie Zwilling, is an entrancing exposition of emotion building to what no one doubts will soon be a screaming meltdown. “Frank,” read in his inimitable
style by Freddie Hinkle, is the second character of the three. We quickly come to understand “Frank” and his intimate involvement with the coming meltdown. Nick Hershenow is “Henry,” the third character of the sketch, in a terrific performance that perfectly completed the story of the impending meltdown. Westlake brings his characters to life with an art and talent that are stunning in their complexity and dynamic range. This is an evening of theater on a level that will surprise and delight everyone, brought to us by a group of brilliant, talented neighbors and friends. We should count our blessings as we head to the Grange to see T:8.167 in “By Request.”

Ace in the hole
Orcas Center hosts its 17th annual Golf Classic and Family Fun Fest Scott Rasmussen photo By MEREDITH M. GRIFFITH Staff reporter
The grass will indubitably appear greener at the Orcas Island Golf Club this Saturday, Sept. 10, as community members gather to celebrate and support Orcas Center’s cultural contribution to the island. “You don’t have to be a serious golfer to enjoy the evening,” said Orcas Center’s executive/artistic director Kara O’Toole, saying the day is designed to supply fun for all ages. Scratch golfers can duke it out during a semi-serious nine-hole morning session; a more playful afternoon nine-hole match invites those likely to lose a few into the shrubbery or water hazards; and those not even remotely interested in trotting around a green while smacking about small white balls can still enjoy a Lower Tavern lunch of juicy pulled pork, burgers, brats and dogs hot off the grill, or an evening ice cream social serenaded by a live performance from OrcaTrazz. A putt-putt course will provide diversion for little ones. The golf classic is Orcas Center’s second major fundraiser of the year, supplying roughly 18 percent of its annual support. Asked which session she would be golfing with, O’Toole, a talented dancer, laughed, “I’m not known for my handeye coordination, shall we say. I’ll be there to enjoy it.” As is tradition, the annual event will be packed with
plenty of silliness, from costumed characters roaming the greens to playful obstacles added to the golf course, all backdropped by stage pieces from past Orcas Center productions. In the morning, said Soderlund, “We’ll have some challenges along the way.” Here’s a clue: on hole three golfers can penny up for a chance to shoot at a boat on the pond, winning prizes for a direct hit. Two beer carts will patrol the course throughout the day. In the aftern o o n “You don’t have to be a organizers will crank the fun up a serious golfer to enjoy notch. “ O n hole one the evening.” the driver will be — Cara O’Toole, Orcas Center director m a n a threeslings h o t ,” said Soderlund. “We’ll have something like that going on at every hole. On hole nine they will putt with croquet mallets through wickets.” And somewhere on an emerald green hill, silhouetted by deep blue sky, will be a “Teletubby” that attendees can take a swing at for a small fee. Safely cushioned by layers of padding, a stalwart – and devoted – volunteer will patiently endure the wrath of Teletubby-haters everywhere. It’s not yet known whether the mode of attack will be tennis balls or golf balls. Prizes will be given to winning tourney teams and for

County bluebird reintroduction project appears to be working Western Bluebirds are returning to San Juan Island after a 40 year absence. For more than five years, biologists with the Western Bluebird Reintroduction Project captured and translocated 45 breeding pairs of Western Bluebirds from Washington and Oregon. One pair of these birds nested in the first year. Over the five years, 212 fledglings were produced, with some returning each year as part of the breeding population.

Juan Preservation Trust, San Juan Island Audubon Society, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and The Nature Conservancy of Washington. This year, 30 birds returned to San Juan Island. Ten were translocated birds from previous years and 18 were fledged from previous years, and 14 were successful. The project is now moving into a two-year monitoring phase to determine the stability and growth of the population, and future population management. “Fifteen pairs is by no means a large enough population to be considered secure,” said Bob Altman, project leader with American Bird Conservancy. “So we are exploring ways to enhance it beyond the initial five-year period.”

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To make a firewood complaint, call 360-9021857. http://agr.wa.gov/inspection/ weightsMeasures/ Firewoodinformation.aspx

PERMIT APPLICATION
NOTICE: ANNOUNCEMENT OF AVAILABILITY OF DRAFT WASTEWATER PERMIT
Permit No.: WA29891 Facility: Rosario Resort
Wastewater Treatment Plant 107 Firehouse Lane Eastsound, San Juan County The Rosario Resort has reapplied for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 90.48 Revised Code of Washington (RCW), Chapter 173-220 Washington Administrative Code (WAC), and the Federal Clean Water Act.
The Rosario Resort Wastewater Treatment Plant currently operates an aerated lagoon secondary treatment plant designed to handle an average/maximum daily flow of 71,000 gpd. The wastewater, following treatment, must meet the requirements of the Washington State Water Pollution Control Act and applicable regulations for a permit to be issued. Following evaluation of the application and other available information, a draft permit has been developed which would allow the discharge of secondary and disinfected effluent from the Rosario Resort WWTP into Cascade Bay, Puget Sound. A tentative determination has been made on the effluent limitations and
special permit conditions that will prevent and control pollution. A final determination will not be made until all timely comments received in response to this notice have been evaluated. PUBLIC COMMENT AND INFORMATION The draft permit and fact sheet may be viewed at the Department of Ecology (Department) website: h t t p : / / w w w. e c y. w a . g o v / p r o g r a m s / w q / p e r mits/northwest_permits.html. The application, fact sheet, proposed permit, and other related documents are also available at the Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Northwest Regional Office for inspection and copying between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:30 pm week-
days. To obtain a copy or to arrange to view copies at the Northwest Regional Office, please call Sally Perkins at (425) 649-7190, email at sper@ecy.wa.gov Interested persons are invited to submit written comments regarding the proposed permit. All comments must be submitted within 30 days after publication of this notice to be considered for the final determination.

mit within 30 days of the publication date of this notice. If a hearing is to be held, public notice will be published at least 30 days in advance of the hearing date.
