Islander continues work in Haiti

Cue the music, cameras rolling

Young musicians compete in radio contest for most popular YouTube video performance by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Associate Publisher

Several young Orcas violinists are hoping to win the hearts and ears of classical music lovers. Three of Matthew Olson’s music students are competing for the chance to perform live on Seattle’s KING 98.1 FM radio station. “I teach the violin because in addition to the valuable life lessons it teaches each student, music beautifies the soul and enlarges it,” Olson said. Matthew Laslo-White, Cierra Lutz and Mackie Blackburn submitted a YouTube video of their performances; each session will be judged by a panel of musicians who will narrow the field to 10 by March 30. That group will perform live on the radio. At that point, the public will vote on www.king.org for a grand prize winner, who will perform solo on the air on May 4. All three students have been playing the violin since they were youngsters. Lutz and Laslo-White are both 11 and Blackburn is 18. For the audition recordings,

each student was accompanied by Louellen McCoy on the piano. Laslo-White said his strategy was simple: “Practice. Constant practice. Every day.” Lutz got her inspiration from watching a violinist on YouTube. “I found a violinist who played with so much feeling that you could almost hear a story coming from his violin,” she said. Blackburn had a particularly intense week, as he was preparing not only for the KING FM contest but was also for an audition at a music school he hopes to attend next fall. “Matthew Olson had been working with me very intensely for the last month to help me prepare for the music school audition,” Blackburn said. “I practiced as much as I could. More than normal.” In choosing their song for the video, Lutz and Laslo-White pointed to the importance of musical dynamics, which is something their teacher emphasizes during their weekly private lessons. “The concerto I played is one of

Orcas writer releases book on Barefoot Bandit by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Associate Publisher

It’s a story that took over a local writer’s life. Bob Friel’s interest in teen burglar Colton Harris-Moore began as personal curiosity. The saga later became the focus of a meticulously researched book, “The Barefoot Bandit: The True Tale of Colton Harris-Moore, New American Outlaw,” published by Hyperion this month.

This is part one of a two-part series. Read the next installment in the 3/21 edition. by Cali Bagby Staff reporter

Blackburn says he plays the violin because it “allows me to express myself and improvise and find new songs and styles.” Olson said it was a “a thrill” to

Thousands died and riots broke out across Haiti as cholera raced through the population. In one area, burning barricades littered the streets and blocked the road to the hospital. Rosedanie Cadet watched as the chaos unfolded. She asked people to help move the mattresses and other objects set aflame, but only one person would assist her. “It was a horrible time,” she said. “I went back to the house in tears.” Later, she went online and talked to an Orcas Island friend, who told her that another islander had been standing outside of Island Market collecting money to buy water filtration systems for Haiti, the Caribbean nation. Someone else was working on gathering supplies. Another friend sent her

Friel says it’s been a unique opportunity to write about a crime story that he actually experienced. “We lived through the birth of this thing,” he said. “Orcas was ground zero for this … and I was able to separate fact from fiction. I think people will enjoy seeing what really went down in what has become island lore.”

Friel will be signing copies of his book on Friday, March 23 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Darvill’s Bookstore. He will give proceeds from books sold at Darvill’s to local children’s charities. The book will be available to buy starting March 20. Camano Island native Harris-Moore was on the lam for two years, hiding out in Orcas Island homes and the woods before finally being caught in July 2010 in the Bahamas. He reportedly spent time hiding in an airplane hangar owned by Mike and Dawn Parnell, waiting until they flew off so he could drive their car to their home, eat their food and wear their clothing. He stole six boats and airplanes from San Juan County, crashing one plane and damaging two others during landings. His exploits grabbed national headlines during a crime spree that spanned nine states and prompted an international manhunt. His owes his victims an estimated $1.4 million in damages. Harris-Moore, who will turn 21 in a few weeks, pled guilty to 33 state charges and seven

Army of helpers at school garden Former OHS

Sam Sutton lending his assistance with the garden clean-up on Saturday, March 3. by MADIE MURRAY Special to the Sounder

More than 50 men, women, kids and even dogs spent the day digging, pulling, turning, de-rocking, chopping blackberry bushes, setting posts, making scratch pizza, and sweating for the school garden – and the outcome was enlightening, dazzling, gratifying, enormous, delicious, beauti-

ful and unbelievable. There just aren’t enough words to describe this incredible outpouring of energy and love for our public school garden. Volunteerism is certainly alive and well on Orcas. Those who poured their heart and soul into the project know who they are, but I’ll try to mention a few in this limited space. This

is the dream of Chelsea Cates, the Farm to Cafeteria school garden keeper who wants to turn it into an area of growth – not only of the plant kind, but of the human kind. She envisions a garden that will ultimately include an outdoor classroom, weather station, water catchment system, drying shed, a huge new area to grow food and herbs

for the school cafeteria, a topiary, edible flower garden, and multiple themed mini-gardens ... all under and around the graceful and watchful limbs of the beloved maple tree. Last fall, with her enthusiasm, drive and just plain cuteness, she got the approval of the School Board and started “planting the seeds” for her dream. Saturday was proof that dreams can come true. Learner Limbach picked up the mantle while Chelsea was with her Dad in India opening a medical facility. He helped summon a fleet of workers and made sure all the elements of success were in place. Then along came Geddes Martin, who brought his cob pizza oven to feed the workforce. Many people were so focused on the task at hand that kids were sent carrying plates of pizza to tell people to stop working and eat! Student Lexi Cuthbert filmed the event, and a slide show by Audra Query has been put on www.orcasislandf2c.com. Then there are those mighty volunteers who showed up to lend their backs to the task which included a crew of WWOOF volunteers from Doe Bay and a gaggle of Lopez ladies who came over specifically for this event. It was a joy to behold. Didier Gincig summed it up when he remarked, “This is one of the most beautiful things that has occurred on this island.” For more on work behind the scenes, visit ‘community’ on islandssounder.com.

The Orcas High School Sailing Team has taken to the water for spring practices this past week – regardless of the winter weather. Ten sailors from the team traveled to the the annual kick-off regatta at Seattle Yacht Club on Saturday, March 3, and captured second place in the Gold fleet.

Incorrect date listed for marine science event We incorrectly listed the date of this event in last week’s edition. We sincerely apologize for the error. How smart is an octopus? What do peanut worms eat? How fast can a starfish run? How do sea slugs breed? These questions about the secret lives of marine invertebrates around Indian Island will be answered by local volunteers, Orcas High School students, and Kwiáht ecologist Russel Barsh at the first annual Tides of March celebration at the Eastsound fire station, preceding the last SeaDoc Society marine lecture of the season. The event is on Thursday, March 15 at

the Eastsound Fire Hall Community Room. Kwiaht’s session is from 4:30 to 6 p.m.; Joe Gaydos will lead the lecture at 7 p.m. Kwiaht will have displays, a medley of songs about invertebrates by Sharon Abreu and Mike Hurwicz, sweets from Sugar Baby Cakes, and a slideshow on some of Indian Island’s stranger denizens. Admission is free. Gaydos, chief scientist of the SeaDoc Society, will present “Bears to Barnacles: Incredible Animals of the Salish Sea.” Come hear about some of the biggest, longest-lived and most unusual animals in the Salish Sea when Gaydos speaks on the web of life in this coastal ecosystem.

School bus service cut The Orcas Island School District has cut $120,000 from its current operating budget. The shortfall has been caused by a combination of factors: cuts to state funding, lower than predicted enrollment in some schools, and increased costs of operations. As part of these budget cuts the School Board has instructed the district administration to reduce spending on transportation by decreasing bus service by one day per week. Beginning Friday, March 23, the school will not provide bus transportation to or from school on Fridays for the remainder of the school year. “We recognize that this reduction will have an

impact on many of our families who rely on our bus drivers to get their students to and from school safely,” said superintendent/principal Barbara Kline. “We are hoping that with some advance notice, families will be able to arrange car pooling to transport their students.” Kline says she appreciates everyone who has donated to the Orcas Island

Education Foundation. “Positions have been restored thanks to the generosity of donors,” she said. “Unfortunately the $6,500 needed to avoid cuts to transportation has not been raised. None of us want to make any of these cuts, but we feel that the cuts are required in order to ensure that the district ends the year with a positive fund balance as we need to do.”

Orcas skipper Jules Mann and crew Chris Babcock during the regatta.

Around 122 sailors from over 25 High Schools competed in the 2012 Kick Off Regatta at Seattle Yacht Club. The wind, sunshine, and warm temperatures made for a great day of sailing and spectating. Portage Bay is known for its puffy and shifty conditions, and this day proved to be no different. With puffs in the high teens coming through the course, sailors really had to on their toes and react to the tricky conditions. The racing was tight and with the conditions it was tough to hold a lead. Everyone saw how getting a clean start and getting to the first shift really paid off. Port Townsend Team 2 had consistent finishes keeping them in the lead throughout the day. Orcas Team 1 and Interlake were not too far behind in second and third, respectively. All teams did a great job; it was not an easy day on the race course.

Two Orcas High School students received AllLeague basketball honors this March. Junior Lana Bronn received an honorable mention and sophomore Bella Nigretto was awarded AllLeague first team honors, which is given to the top five players in the entire league, as voted by league coaches. She was one of the top 11 to 15 players in the NW1A2B League. “That is a great accomplishment considering we have a very competitive league,” said Coach Tim Hance. “It’s cool that two people from a little island got these awards,” Nigretto said. Both girls said they were surprised to receive such recognition. Nigretto attributes their accomplishments to good leadership, focus, communication with teammates and dedication. “And a good coach to represent you,” added Bronn. All-League honors were determined by NW1A2B coaches, who met on March 6 in LaConner, Wash.

Women’s history marches on

Concerns about CAO

e’re excited about a documentary film that will be shown here this weekend. And it’s all thanks to a high school senior who is hoping to make a difference for women. The award-winning documentary “Miss Representation” will be screened at the Odd Fellows Hall on March 18, 2 p.m. It exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America, and the consequences to our youth, culture and politics. The film will be hosted by Anita Castle, director of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services, and Julie Hagn, a senior at Spring Street International School in Friday Harbor. It takes the interest of young people – like Hagn – to bring about significant change in the world. We commend her for organizing this film showing. The event coincides with the national Women’s History Month. This year’s theme is “Women’s Education – Women’s Empowerment.” The website www.womenshistorymonth.gov reads, “Although women now outnumber men in American colleges nationwide, the reversal of the gender gap is a very recent phenomenon. The fight to learn was a valiant struggle waged by many tenacious women – across years and across cultures – in our country.” We hope teachers and parents talk to their kids about the long and winding road of women’s rights. There are numerous sources on the Women’s History website, including a slide show of females at work throughout history, interactive games and a look at the role that women have played during the most recent wars. There are also words of wisdom from famous women, like this one from author and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston: “Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it doesn’t make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It’s beyond me.”

Good grief, don’t pay ‘em another dime! Weren’t Adamus, Herrera, et. al., hired to present scientifically substantiated findings/Best Available Science that bear some reasonable relationship to San Juan County? Then how is it that Herrera turned out the most negative report on “paradise” to ever see the light of day? All we have to do is look around this beautiful county to know that this is preposterous. Makes one think that the folks who wrote this dubious tome need a high colonic. Oh dear! Are we to live in fear of every risk associated with living on this earth – the airstrip about to disappear into a sinkhole, the Tsunami that’s overdue? What about that slip fault around Whidbey Island that hasn’t slipped in a while – faults that haven’t slipped in a while are prone to slip, maybe tomorrow! Holy endangered bat cave! That’s old news, probably not BAS, and certainly not exact science. Every possible negative tidbit of data thrown into the pot so our county is cast as being in dire need of major new controls and expanded regulation – all to the detriment of the quiet enjoyment of ALL of our land. Hmmm, don’t worry, be happy, do whatever the Department of Ecology says and everything will turn out just fine. NOT. Where is their proof of measurable pollution in San Juan County that’s deserving of the draconian new regulations put forth by these “experts?” What’s with these “professionals” who won’t correct even the most glaring of errors being pointed out by the public in their work? Please, tell them: “No thanks, not what we expected, not gonna use it, and not gonna pay another dime for it. Oh, and don’t let the screen door hit you on your way out.” Bat the ball into their court. Be obnoxious – throw a shoe. These “experts” have turned our county into the pit stop tire change between the powers that be: the consultants and the DOE. Wake up and smell the burning rubber: we’ve been duped. This whole Critical Areas Ordinance issue is awaking forces beyond what most of us could have

We are very concerned about the restrictions and regulations that you are placing on the land in San Juan County. By increasing the regulations and restrictions for questionable reasons, you are taking away our constitutional rights to the normal use or our property. This is a tragic taking. The taking of a very basic freedom of the rights to our property – the right to the use of the land for farming, livestock, or other uses. Private property is one of the foundations of our basic liberties: those being life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These restrictions and regulations clearly limit our freedoms! Perhaps that is your intention? Esther Steege Orcas Advocates of the new CAO policy claim it is based on “best available” science. They also assert its deviations from other CAOs in the region are due to uniqueness of San Juan County. But, how is science in San Juan County fundamentally different from science in

D.C. Whitmore Orcas Island While attending the March 6 County meeting regarding the proposed changes to privately owned wetland management, I was struck by the diversity of the individuals arrayed against the proposal. Among those speaking out against the new Critical Area Ordinance were realtors, former city planners and a code enforcement officer, subsistence farmers, retirees, business owners and young families trying to gain a foothold in San Juan County. My rough count estimated that out of the 40 people that spoke in testimony, all except about four were against the overreaching proposal. Of the few that supported the pending legislation, two were on the payroll of The Friends of the San Juans.

LETTERS FROM 4 ing a home owners liability regarding slopes, ground surface, vegetation and other factors to come up with runoff coefficients that would dictate buffer zones for wetlands. Give me a break. As stated in testimony, the county doesn’t even have a resource manager to analyze or guide property owners through this onerous burden. Other parts of the proposed changes regulate everything from mowing and cultivation to outdoor lighting. As a former city planner testified, this is a roadmap to citizen lawsuits that will tie the county up for years. People will simply not comply. Non-compliance will lead to enforcement. Enforcement will lead to lawsuits against an already cash-starved county and the vicious cycle continues. A former code enforcement officer said that the county could come into compliance with only minor changes to existing law. In his closing statement to the Planning Commission, former Commissioner John Evans cautioned the county to not ignore the large turnout of outraged citizens. Evans described how “the process” has historically ground the public down to where the opposition packs their bags and gives up. I don’t think that’s going to happen this time. John Titus Eastsound

County is doing a good job with CAO We attended the standingroom-only San Juan County Planning Commission meeting at the Friday Harbor Grange on March 6 and heard four hours of testimony given regarding the revised Critical Areas Ordinance, which is nearing completion. In the midst of heated criticism, we admire the patience and professionalism of the San Juan County Planning Commissioners, Shireene Hale and Janice Biletnikoff. They have spent

www.ISLANDSSOUNDER.com

years hammering out the revisions, striving to form a CAO that is flexible enough to allow individuals to develop their property to the fullest extent possible while still protecting the functions and values of our critical areas. Credit to be given for sod roofs and permeable driveways are examples of creative ways the team has responded to the pleas of the public for more flexibility and an individuallytailored approach. We support the openminded, fair work they have done and want to see this process wrapped up soon. Our desire is to see San Juan County in compliance with the states Growth Management Act, and to protect the long-term environmental health of our islands for future generations.

the structure of the CAO update should be addressed to the County Council and especially to Councilman Richard Fralick who proposed Island County’s sitespecific buffers as a model for our county. Senior Planner Shireene Hale is doing a superb job fulfilling the Council’s mandate to create a clear, scientifically-based sitespecific buffer system. As a member of the wetlands technical advisory group, I know that she has worked many nights, weekends, and even holidays on the CAO updates. The time and date of her emails show the hard work Planner Hale has dedicated to this most complex of council directives. I am pleased that John Evans is looking for inconsistencies in the proposed regulations. While I applaud John for his careful reading of the CAO drafts, his concern about “needing a permit to turn over a spadeful of soil” is being addressed by the county council. A recent press release from our county states, “At least one additional adjustment to the general section is likely. During the initial council review, council member Patty Miller expressed concern that the proposed review process for new development could be interpreted to require a review of even very small-scale land development or land disturbance activities. At its meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 28, the council revisited that issue, and voted unanimously to direct staff to propose alternative language to eliminate unnecessarily burdensome requirements for development activities that do not otherwise require a permit.” Janet Alderton Orcas Island

MAG thank you Music Advocacy Group wants to thank all of you who performed, attended, worked and supported in so many ways the school music program on this joyful island. The Sunday program was a melding of so many good things in our lives that we share with each other. The smiles on faces young and old (I can say that now) and the magical sounds that came from instrumentalists and singers made this Sunday afternoon one of the special occasions on Orcas. We love and support all that our school is giving our children and we are all thankful that we have a special place in our lives to make the music we all love. It reminds us that for many our first opportunity to join others in singing and playing was at school and I think that you still remember your music teachers with respect and fondness. I know I do. So those of us who have worked with MAG for the past 15 years on a Sunday concert say that without your generous support we wouldn’t have the fine teachers and the proud young musicians joining with our three fine adult groups for a glorious afternoon at school. Thank you for your generosity and enthusiastic attendance. So once more the MAG Board wants to extend a most heartfelt thanks to all the Orcas Islanders who join us in the belief that music is an integral part of our lives on this magical island – and one of the greatest gifts we can give our children.

I have made those steps and each time the net appeared.” After being gone from her country for 32 years, Cadet visited her homeland in 2010 just three weeks before Haiti was devastated by the 7.0 earthquake that left more than 300,000 residents dead. In the following months, 6,000 died of cholera. Her family survived but their house was destroyed and Cadet’s life was irrevocably changed. She eventually founded Helping Hands Noramise, in the northern town of Limbe, which provides social and developmental programs for income, pride and social activism. Cadet said it’s not a charity program – everyone must volunteer to receive the benefits like

education, fresh food from their garden or chlorine for water purification. She makes it clear that they provide development work, not disaster relief. The organization is not attempting to put a bandaid on those in need, but rather help provide longterm sustainable projects. Over the last six years, she has made frequent trips to her island homeland and has often traveled with other Orcas residents. But it has been a year since her last trip. For months she has been living in fear that she won’t have her green card renewed, or that she might be deported. She began censoring herself from signing petitions criticizing the U.S. government. She is a U.S. resident, not a citizen, and in early 2011 she almost faced deportation when Immigration and Naturalization Services decided to look into any non-citizens with a record, said Cadet, who was arrested as a young person for a “stupid mistake.” She found a lawyer and was able to fight her case, but her sense of security has been altered. She is waiting to see if her green card will be renewed, but she has decided to go back to Haiti anyway and if she loses her card, so be it. The experience has made Cadet more understanding of what Haitians go through on a daily basis. In the past she was often frustrated that residents of Haiti have not risen up against the corruption of the government. But

she also understands what Haitians face: brutality or often apathy from local government and police. “I can’t keep quiet, I have to speak out and if they take my green card I’ll take my chances,” Cadet said. “I can’t ask Haitians to do things I wouldn’t do, I can’t go home and ask people to demand their rights, when I am not.” In some ways, her immigration troubles have further united her with her native country, which she left at the age of 10. “Sometimes I just want to put my head under the covers and not come out,” she said. “I understand both sides, but there are some things I don’t understand.” As a child in Haiti, she was taught civic responsibility, but that is no longer taught to Haitian kids, and in some ways, she said that has created corruption because the population is not educated to hold the government responsible. Other problems in Haiti

come from outside forces. Before the earthquake, she saw projects that were abandoned for lack of funds, or because a nonprofit left the country and didn’t leave anyone behind who was properly trained. One German nonprofit abandoned a windmill project and the broken windmills are still there, left like corpses to rot away. The Haitians do nothing because there is no feeling of ownership, Cadet said. That is why Helping Hands Noramise’s philosophy is to work on existing projects that Haitians already support, but don’t have adequate funds. “We believe it’s not up to us what they should be doing, but to find what their needs are and allow them to fail or succeed and if they fail they learn from that,” Cadet said.

FRIEL FROM 1 federal charges, including stealing an aircraft, possession of firearms and piloting without a license. He is serving a six- and sevenyear sentence concurrently. In August 2011, HarrisMoore signed a movie deal worth $1.3 million, all of which will go to his victims. The 20th Century Fox film will be based on Friel’s work and the screenplay is being written by Oscar-winner Lance Black.

Friel’s book is part true crime adventure, part journalist’s memoir. He conducted hundreds of interviews with victims, witnesses, law enforcement, and locals who tried to capture Harris-Moore, as well as the young man’s friends, family, teachers, and prison buddies. Friel turned over every stone in Harris-Moore’s past. He worked on the book from September 2009 to January 2012. While Friel says he wrote a “very balanced” account of Harris-

Moore’s story, he discovered painful details about the young man’s childhood. Because he never committed violent crimes, took drugs or joined a gang, Friel hopes the Barefoot Bandit’s saga will illuminate the struggles of disadvantaged children. “There are people who have known him since he was a kid and tried to help him … this could have worked out totally differently, there are points where his life could have changed,” Friel said. “Those same people and others are now pay-

I’ve become rich doing this – and they are very wrong. I’ve made less doing this book than if I was doing freelance magazine work full-time because it took so long to write.” While Friel says he’s covered kids who’ve committed far worse crimes than Harris-Moore, the effect the Barefoot Bandit had on Orcas remains palpable. “I don’t like that I lock my doors every night,” he said. “And that is directly attributed to Colton.”

Film about women’s rights OICF sinks teeth into initiative When radio personality Rush Limbaugh made some disparaging remarks about Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke for speaking out in support of accessible birth control, activists for women’s rights were outraged. The makers of the film “Miss Representation” called it another act of “misogyny finally leading to consequences – at least nine advertisers have already pulled their advertising from his show.” The award-winning documentary “Miss Representation,” which will be screened on Orcas on March 18, 2 p.m. at the Odd Fellows Hall, exposes how mainstream

media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America, and the consequences to our youth, our culture, and our politics. “I hope people will gain a general awareness,” said Julie Hagn, a senior at Spring Street International School in Friday Harbor, who is hosting the screening. “And that they will become more conscious about how the media manipulates and informs how we view ourselves and those around us.” The film will also be hosted by Anita Castle, director of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services.

Dr. Jim Litch: “Seeing patients from babies to seniors — it’s what I love to do!” Dr. Jim Litch, MD, DTMH, is part of your medical team at Orcas Medical Center. He lives on Orcas Island with his wife, Dr. Rachel Bishop, and their two children. Jim is experienced in family medicine, pediatrics, emergency medicine, infectious diseases, men’s health and travel medicine. “I look forward to seeing patients of all ages,” said Litch, “from babies to seniors. It’s what I have trained to do. It’s what I love to do.” Litch received his MD from the University of Michigan School of Medicine and DTMH (Diploma for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene) in the UK. His residency training was with the University of Washington, where he later worked as a physician and continues as a clinical faculty member. Designing Affordable Innovations to Health Systems Jim has diagnosed and treated patients in some of the most remote places in the world, including Nepal, rural India and Antarctica. He continues his involvement in developing countries, designing affordable innovations to health systems. Before receiving his MD degree, Jim spent eight years as an EMT and climbing ranger with the National Park Service, providing emergency medical care and rescue services in Olympic, Denali and other National Parks. He also worked as an EMT and firefighter in the U.S. Forest Service. Orcas Medical Center is at 7 Deye Lane, next door to Orcas Center.

Last year’s Community Needs Assessment gave the Orcas Island Community Foundation plenty of food for thought. It was clear that several areas of great need exist on Orcas, but the one that consistently rose to the surface was access to physical, mental and dental health services. In response, OICF has launched a new program: the Focus Area Investment initiative. OICF is collaborating with community partners to develop three projects to improve access and increase information to health care providers and clients alike. The first project will address the immediate need for dental care for those community members who

lack insurance and the ability to pay for care, which was identified as the highest priority in a survey of San Juan County families living at or below the federal poverty level. To begin to meet this need, OICF is working with County Health Nurse Tamara Joyner, Orcas Family Connections Director Erin O’Dell and San Juan County Oral Hygiene Coalition member and Registered Nurse Rita Bailey to bring a dental van from Medical Teams International to Orcas. On a recent Dental Van visit to San Juan Island, 28 patients received care valued at $12,000 in a two-day span. The first Orcas visit will be on March 23 and 24,

with three additional visits scheduled in 2012. All three Orcas dentists and their staff members are donating their time. Patients will be prioritized based on their applications and level of need. Applications are available at the Food Bank, OPAL, the Orcas Senior Center, Orcas Family Connections and the fire department. OICF’s second project stems from health care providers’ pleas to get them more and better information about each other so they can help their patients. Providers don’t have enough information about who offers each kind of care, what kind of reduced-price or free care is available, and more. OICF will create a web-based directory of services and supports. OICF’s third project will be a community wide survey to track key indicators starting with residents’ physical, mental and dental health care needs. OICF is applying for a Knight Foundation grant of $25,000 and has raised $15,000 of required matching funds. For more info, contact Hilary Canty at 3766423 or hilary@oicf.us.

Growing at the speed of

life

Graham Kerr of Galloping Gourmet fame is coming to Orcas to talk about his garden

by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Associate Publisher

or most of his adult life, Graham Kerr has been at the helm of simmering pans and steaming pots. Now he’s planting seeds and turning over soil. “The chefs of today all love to say that they get their fresh food from farms – I wish it was always true,” Kerr said. “I wanted to start a garden mainly for my wife, Treena. Plants need to go from the garden to the pot in the littlest amount of time.” Kerr is an internationally known culinary and television personality. He has aired countless broadcasts in the U.S. and internationally. One of his first shows, “The Galloping Gourmet,” brought the art of creative cooking alive to television audiences from 1969 to 1971. He has written more than 25 books, with 14 million copies sold. His latest book, “Growing at the Speed of Life,” was published in 2011. The Orcas Garden Club is bringing Kerr to the island for a Wednesday, March 21 discussion on edible gardening. After cooking just about everything under the sun during his career, Kerr realized he had never actually grown anything he cooked. Now a Washington resident, Graham and Treena have been growing their “kitchen garden.” “I was blown away by what an amazing experience it is to start plants out by seed, transplant it and watch it grow,” Graham said. “I think the food tastes so much better.” He will detail his experiences during the meeting at Orcas Center starting at 10 a.m. Admission is free for

A call for actors Tired of the long winter yet? Well, the plays have been chosen. Directors are being sought. Now it’s time to gather actors to bring these stories to life. This year marks the 7th Anniversary of the 10-Minute Play Fest and they are calling out to anyone and everyone who has ever dreamed of being on stage. Co-founders Doug Bechtel and Sandy Thompson’s vision for local writing and acting talents to be displayed for the enjoyment of island families and friends began with the first Play Fest in 2006. Ron Herman, the Play Fest coordinator and local writer and actor, says, “The 10 Minute Play format is perfect for the first time actor as well as the veteran. The scripts are lively and varied with generally

a single theme giving way to highly creative energy between the writer, director, actor and ultimately to the audience.” As in the past, this year’s festival has seven plays written by Orcas Island playwrights. The plays are varied from drama to romance to comedy. Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. on April 27 and 28 and the following two weekends May 4, 5 and May 11, 12 and 13 at the Grange. This is the first time the Play Fest will be presented over three weekends. They are looking for 20 actors, of both genders and a variety of ages (20-70). Rehearsals will be during the month of April. Auditions will be held at the Grange on Sunday, March 18, 6 to 8 p.m. and Wednesday, March 21, 7 to 9 p.m. (only one audition is required). Contact Herman at 831-234-4960 or by email at orcasmanwithdog@gmail. com. The plays are available for review at the Orcas Island Library front desk.

Orcas CrossRoads Lecture Series will host professor and publisher, Stephen J Kobrin, who will present “Books and Bits: The Digital Revolution, Books and Publishing” on Sunday, March 18, 2 p.m. at the Orcas Center. The digital revolution changes the way information is encoded and transmitted, dramatically affecting what a book is, how books are published and how readers acquire them. Digital communications and the internet create the possibility of more direct human interactions with the material. Kobrin will talk about the current situation and speculate about the future of both publishing and book distribution. Some of the questions he will address include: Is a new relationship evolving between authors and their readers as a result of the rise of the internet and the digital revolution? Will the traditional bookstore survive in the face of webbased competition? Will ebooks replace print books? Kobrin is the William H. Wurster Professor of Multinational Management at the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business. Since 2008 he has been the publisher and executive director of the Wharton Digital Press. Come with questions and thoughts for the Q & A and reception following the presentation. Tickets are $10 and available at Darvill’s Bookstore, online at www.orcascrossroads.org or at the door.

For those who are Irish, wish they were Irish, or are grateful they’re not Irish, Saturday, March 17 marks the 12th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Eastsound. Margie Doyle will be Grand Marshal this year. The march will assemble in the Island Market parking lot at 11:30 a.m.; the parade will begin at noon. Anyone is welcome to join in, as long as you bring your sense of fun and love o’ the green! For more info, call Tony Lee at 376-2099.
