Larsen weighs in U.S. Representative Rick Larsen listens to Orcas Islanders’ concerns during visit by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter

Islanders gathered on Thursday with cardboard signs calling for peace, change, support of the Occupy Wall Street Movement, and the removal of Ed DeMarco. There were 200 similar rallies organized across the country.

A wide range of topics was covered by U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen (D-WA) during two recent meetings on Orcas Island. He started off the discussion with his stance on women’s health care and reproductive rights. “I am shocked that we are having this debate, women are shocked and afraid because of this debate,” he said. “I am going to fight and advocate for the progress women have made for reproductive and health care rights.” He is referring to the debate started, in part, by a mandate in President Barack Obama’s federal health care law requiring employers to cover contraception without co-payments. The president recently proposed a compromise that would require insurers to provide the contraceptive coverage without charging employers, but questions remain surrounding self-insured religiously affiliated institutions. Republicans and Democrats have been criticized for focusing too much energy on this and other contraception issues and less focus on topics like the economy and the war in Afghanistan. Larsen said that other elected officials need to have their “stakes in the ground,” and several women in the audience uttered “thank you” in unison. Women’s rights was just one issue covered during Larsen’s session with local business leaders followed by an open community meeting on March 16. Over the course of two hours he covered subjects ranging from ferry terminal repair to the state of Congress to his stance on the building of a coal terminal in northern Washington. Larsen addressed issues of the economy, specifically the summer “troughs” and winter “peaks” for unemployment in San Juan County. One way to level off those vast dips is to increase telecommuting on the islands, he said. Larsen added that the Senate has passed a two-year transportation bill creating money for ferries and terminals, and that he would

focus some of the bill’s funds for the Anacortes Terminal, which would be beneficial for tourism in the islands. “Public transportation means more jobs in the northwest,” he said. Larsen said he will also continue his “life-long” pursuit of affordable energy by trying to give businesses like OPALCO access to affordable energy. Another way to support

D-Mount Vernon, on the floor of the House of Representatives. Paige served as a legislative page from March 5 to March 8. Paige, 14, is the son of Morgan Meadows and Elmo Paige. Any student, aged 14 to 17, is eligible to serve as a legislative page in the state House or Senate where, for one week,
they deliver messages for lawmakers and learn firsthand about the democratic process. Brynna Gregg, a 10th grader from Orcas Christian School, took time away from her studies to participate in the Senate Page Program at the Washington State Legislature. Gregg was one of 24 students who took part in the program during the eighth week of the 2012 legislative session. In addition to regular page duties, Gregg drafted a mock bill that would ban plastic bags. Gregg was sponsored by Sen. Kevin Ranker. “The page program offers a fun and rare, hands-on opportunity to learn about state government,” said Ranker. “I’m glad Brynna was able to take advantage
of it.” “I really enjoyed the page program,” Gregg said. “My favorite part of the program was meeting people from all over the state. I also enjoyed learning how much it takes for a bill to become a law.” Gregg participates in soccer and is a member of the ASB at Orcas Christian School. In her spare time she enjoys volunteering at the library. Gregg is the daughter of Steve and Michele Gregg of Eastsound. Junior high/middle school and high school students who are interested in the Senate Page Program are encouraged to visit www.leg.wa.gov/ Senate/Administration/ PageProgram/.

Rosedanie Cadet.
by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter
The following is part two of a story about Rosedanie Cadet, an islander who founded Helping Hands Noramise, in Limbe, Haiti. For her upcoming trip in April, Rosedanie Cadet will stay in Haiti for three months so that she has more face time with people working on projects. In Haitian culture, people often feel slighted if they are not worked with directly. In her absence some programs have lost momentum, but there has been progress too, like last summer’s two-week English class. The organization has a building in the center of town, and Cadet said their backyard garden has had amazing growth. The garden is not only a way to feed people, but offers a model for Haitians to grow their own personal gardens, and is an opportunity to teach people about seeds and seed saving practices. The garden also helps to cope with stress. “To see something grow is therapeutic. Haitians have seen so many examples of failure, that they often give

up. Like a storm comes in and the rains come and they may lose their first crop, but when they do get a successful crop it makes you feel better,” Cadet said. “Anything you work for makes you feel better about yourself because there is pride. And with gardening you are using your body and then you are eating to feed your body.”
Future projects Orcas resident Gwen Stamm has donated the profits from “gleaned fruit” jam for an oven and other supplies for a jelly-making endeavor in Haiti. There is a group of 20 women who has already been producing jams with seasonal fruit like grapefruit and guava in Limbe, but Cadet said they have had trouble since their treasurer stole all the funds. She says corruption is nothing new in Haiti. “There was corruption before the earthquake and there continues to be corruption,” she said. Another Helping Hands Noramise endeavor is to build a tilapia pond to add protein to the Haitian diet. It will also serve as a model to help others implement similar aqua culture projects in their own backyards. These fish can serve as an alternative crop that farmers can depend on in case their first crop fails. Over the last year, Cadet has racked up $2,000 worth of phone calls to Haiti. To offset those costs her organization is planning to set up an internet cafe in the
fall, so she can communicate with people in Limbe online. Four laptops have already been donated by Orcas Island residents. The level of communication the internet provides empowers people who are cut off from the rest of the world. “The mind plays tricks on you when you are inside that bubble and all you know is all you see,” Cadet said. Another way to give Haitians a view into the outside world is by forming relationships with Americans. Two summers ago, a group of Orcas High School students visited Haiti with Cadet. She would like to see a relationship continue to grow between youths in both countries. She wants Orcas students to be able to tell Haitians that a better way does exist and can be achieved. For Cadet, having the Orcas community involved has made her work possible. “I want to thank the community,” she said. “They really have made a huge difference in helping me to continue this work.” To get involved, attend the Orcas Horns Renaissancethemed dance party on March 31 at the Odd Fellows. Doors open at 7 p.m. The Kitchen will prepare locally grown food and proceeds will be donated to Helping Hands Noramise. There are also donation envelopes at the Kitchen or you can donate at www. noramise.org.

Shakespeare festival is on the horizon The Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce is hosting its first annual spring Shakespeare Festival complete with roaming street performers, music, performances by the Seattle Shakespeare Company and a lot of colorful, whimsical decorations. On March 30, Seattle Shakespeare will perform “Romeo and Juliet” for students, followed by a workshop. The company is providing a scholarship so all Orcas students can attend the performance free of charge. On March 31, the company will present “Hamlet” at Orcas Center at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $16 for adults, $12 for seniors, $10 students. The cham-
ber is hosting an appetizer and wine reception prior to the play at 6 p.m. Orcas a Cappella will be performing as well. The performances are considered a jewel in a much larger event that is primarily happening on Saturday, March 31. There will be musicians visiting businesses throughout Eastsound, actors performing Shakespeare vignettes, sword-fights, town criers and decorations. A mini farmers market will be set up in the Village Green and an empty storefront (formerly Eastsound Instruments) in the post office building is being turned into the “Bard Gallery” with local art both Shakespearean-themed and
not. It will be open until the end of April; hours are 1 to 4 p.m.
Never fear, OIEF is here
School bus service to continue on Fridays after OIEF gives funding Last week, the Orcas Island School Board made the decision to cut bus service on Fridays to offset a $120,000 cut from its current operating budget. This week, the Orcas Island Education Foundation stepped up to the plate to provide funding for buses so they can run five days a week for the rest of the school year. “OIEF recognized the hardship a cut in bus service would place on many families, so we have dipped into our reserve fund so that this would not happen,” said OIEF President and school board member Janet Brownell.
This year, OIEF has facilitated roughly $50,000 in donations to the school district. It has funded staffing and numerous programs including trips, lab tables, and the school library. To get involved, attend OIEF’s “Food for Thought” fundraiser on May 26. Watch for more information on that soon. “Most of our donations come from the ‘Food for Thought’ event. If you support the Education Foundation, please come to our barbecue on the Saturday of Memorial Weekend,” Brownell said. “It’s a fun way to support our public schools.”

f anyone were in need of greater incentive not to get behind the wheel after having too much to drink, it’s about to come to pass. With approval of the Legislature, changes to the state’s driving under the influence laws are now parked on the governor’s desk and, with the stroke of a pen, will become effective beginning in August. Expectations in Olympia are that Gov. Gregoire won’t hesitate to sign those changes into law. Under House Bill 2443, the penalty for DUI vehicular homicide would be equal to manslaughter: 6 1/2 to 8 1/2 years, and a felony DUI conviction would remain on one’s record permanently (the minimum penalty for a DUI conviction – home electronic monitoring – would remain the same). In addition, the bill also requires cameras to be installed on ignitioninterlock devices of those convicted of DUI as a provision of getting their license reinstated, an extra $20 per-month fee. The state Department of Licensing would also take over the license reinstatement program as well. The bill also ups the reimbursement fee for emergency response from $1,000 to $2,500, when warranted. While we applaud these new provisions, which are intended to close loopholes and hold those convicted of felony DUI even more accountable, chances are that they won’t put an end to drinking and driving, and the risk it carries, by themselves. That’s where stronger resolve on everyone’s part might make the biggest difference. The best prevention against drinking and driving, and the dire consequences that can result, is to not get behind the wheel when intoxicated. It may be overused, but it’s very true: friends don’t let friends drive drunk. So as a friend, or maybe even as an acquaintance, we all should do our part to prevent drinking and driving. There’s no better time than now.

As an advocate and supporter of the Americans with Disabilities Act and a person with multiple disabilities, I feel I must address the lack of appropriate and lawful accommodations for the disabled on Orcas. My recent experience has caused me to bring up lack of appropriate and legal – yes, legal – accommodations for the disabled. On Monday, March 5, I went out to eat at a local restaurant with a friend of mine and her children. I have a companion/service dog who is legally able to accompany me in public places. Not only was I turned away, it was after we were seated and because of my service animal. The owner stated with a grimace that The Health Department stated he had the right to turn away any person who has a dog. The owner DID NOT ask me if Jill, my service animal, had papers or a tag that shows she is NOT just a pet but is a service animal. Jill weighs maybe 6 pounds and stays in a basket that’s attached to my scooter. She also lays down when I am not seated in the scooter but near her, so she is well behaved. As an advocate, I am standing up for my rights and the rights of others. This leads me to the larger issue of ADA requirements for the San Juan Islands. For example, The Eastsound Post Office, which houses a federal branch of the government, does not have doors that accommodate individuals with disabilities and the growing population of seniors. Seniors and the disabled have a lot of difficulties opening the door, not only with balance issues but if one has a walker, wheelchair or scooter. It is my experience that when I address issues I get a positive response, but as a woman with cerebral palsy I am for ever fighting an uphill battle. My wish is that this community addresses what is necessary to comply with the ADA, and I, as well as others, would be happy to work with you on improvements. Grace Grantham Eastsound

Support for gmo ban I would like to respond to last week’s letter to the editor “GMOfree county is laughable.” I believe that a characterization of GMOs that includes selective breeding is wholly inaccurate. To characterize them thus is misrepresentation of the scientifically accepted definition of a GMO, which is fungible with a “Genetically Engineered Organism” (GEO). GMOs and GEOs are organisms whose genetic material have been altered using genetic engineer-

ing techniques to create new gene sequences in vitro in the laboratory using gene splicing techniques. There is no credible individual working in the field of genetically engineered organisms that would include selectively bred animals or plants in the category of GMOs. The recent GMO-free initiative petition in San Juan County (#2012-4) should not ban the growing or raising of hybrid animals and plants nor those that have been selectively bred. It should solely ban organisms that are genetically engineered in a laboratory setting using gene splicing techniques. These are the species that have patented gene sequences that are preventing farmers from raising their own seed in many areas of the United States. The application of the GMO patent laws has effectively prevented any farmer from being able to grow their own seeds for an ever-growing number of food crops in the USA. This proposed GMO ban is the only way that we have available to us to stem the cross pollination of these gene sequences that make the propagation and ownership of a farmer’s personal seed stock illegal.

LETTERS FROM 4 zens who support this initiative and believe it is a very important issue that not only would protect our farmers’ livelihoods but also our environment and health. Mr. Henigson is mistaken in his claims of the effects of Initiative 2012-4. The definition for GMO does not include what Mr. Henigson refers to as selective breeding, hybrids(F1), improved apple varieties, our hay fields or any other crops or animals that he refers to. Specifically GMO refers to organisms whose DNA has been altered in a way that does not happen in nature. For example, we now have tomatoes with arctic flounder genes. These GMO plants require FDA, USDA and EPA approval for their production and subsequent use. We are not against genetic improvements. As farmers and gardeners, we encourage them and make them every time we save our own seed. We believe we should rely on these selective breeding practices and improved varieties that Mr. Henigson refers to; not GMO’s. Along with GMOs come patented plants and animals. Farmers across the country are losing their ability to continue selective breeding of their own as their crops become contaminated with GMO DNA. When this happens, from pollen blowing in from a neighbor’s field, for instance, any seed containing that DNA becomes the property of the patent owner. It does not matter if the contamination is of no fault of the farmer, he will be in violation of patent law by using his own seed. One of the main purposes of this initiative is to protect the rights of our farmers to selectively breed, grow and maintain pure and natural seed, produce and livestock feed, uncontaminated by a neighbor’s GMO crop. The following websites provide excellent information on issues and dangers of GMOs. http://www.centerforfoodsafety.org/; http:// responsibletechnology.org/ Ken Akopiantz Lopez Island
Keep kids away from noxious weeds Recently the Noxious Weed Control Program office got a call saying that a pre-school child had become immediately ill after eating some leaves. The plant was Spurge Laurel (Daphne laureola) and was growing through-
WWW.ISLANDSSOUNDER.COM
out the yard where the child was playing. Spurge laurel is one of the most toxic plants that we have in our county. All parts of the plant are poisonous, with the sap causing varying degrees of dermatitis and even a small number of the attractive blue/black berries are potentially fatal for a child. Spurge laurel is a listed class B noxious weed selected for control in San Juan County and was the subject of a flyer sent out with the tax bills to all county land owners. This flyer outlines the necessary control methods for this plant. In this instance, the child vomited the small amount of leaves that she had consumed and no harm was done. It could have been, however, far more serious. We are asking that everyone check areas where children play, especially in schoolyards and around homes for this weed. If you have questions about identifying Spurge Laurel or would like us to look at a site, please call the Noxious Weed Control Program at 376-3499. Richard Lee SJC Noxious Weed Control Program
Observations on charter revision As a former freeholder at the time that the present charter was initiated, I would like to make some observations on the comments I have heard about the charter revision. I do think that the number of council members should be limited to the three and run county-wide on a nonpartisan basis. It would serve no useful purpose for them to run under political banners and
then have the odd man out situation that we had in years past. It served no useful purpose and was a waste of money. The most disturbing thing that I heard was giving those council members the authority to run the county. Management is a skill and generally those that run for public office with enthusiasm to do good for their constituents and county as a whole are not qualified to manage. I was on several county committees and saw what happens when you put three people, having equal power, in charge of running the county: chaos. No successful organization of any kind would subscribe to running operations with that kind of hierarchy. Elected officials better serve their constituents, implementing policy rather than hands-on administration. I think the transition to a three council board can be easily administrated by the present council. I caution that the new charter guarantee, as the old, that elected council members enact policy only and cannot interfere with the administration and management of the county by the administrator. Of course the council can hire and fire the administrator. Walter Corbin Orcas Island
REACTION TO SCHOOL BUS CUTS
and what about if it affects their work schedule? This decision needs to be reversed and the board needs to find another area to cut $6,500. Pierrette Guimond Orcas Island The school board has decided to save money by cancelling bus service on Fridays. I believe the board members have a very difficult job trying to figure out, in the absence of sufficient state funding, how to pay for our schools. As tough as the job is, though, it seems hard to believe that there aren’t any other ways to realize additional savings in the school budget. Cutting bus service?? Really?? When the first school district was formed on Orcas Island, in 1873, the fundamental problem was transportation. People living in remote parts of the island simply could not reach Eastsound every day, and the idea that young children could manage the daily trek over the roadless terrain was laughable. Back in the 1960s when my sisters and I rode the mailboat from Shaw Island to attend school on Orcas, the bus was a very necessary part of our transportation scheme. I can’t imagine what we’d have done with-
Page 5
out the bus – it would have been a long walk to school every day, and I doubt we’d have made it on many cold, wet days. What about the kids today? Housing remains expensive on Orcas Island, and I suppose more than a few families are living in fairly remote parts of the island. Some of these families have kids, the parents work, and the bus is a critical part of their school day. What are these folks to do without a bus on Friday, particularly if the parents are unable to drive them to Eastsound? Are they simply going to miss school each Friday? These might be the very kids who need school the

Abreu also said that although she lives on an island, she feels connected to people struggling with foreclosure across the nation. “They bail out banks, but people lose their homes – it’s crazy,” Abreu said. “We need to be fair, sane and compassionate. As a country this is unacceptable. We want to raise awareness. We can’t just accept what is happening.” In honor of the rally,

Colleen Smith Armstrong. Colleen Smith Armstrong has been promoted to the position of Publisher of the Islands’ Sounder newspaper on Orcas Island. The promotion was announced this week by Lori Maxim, Sound Publishing’s Vice President for West Sound Operations. “Colleen is a real shining star in our company,” Maxim said. “She brings a high level of energy and professionalism to the Sounder.

Thomas L. Woods, March 1939 – March 16, 2012, passed peacefully in his sleep after a long illness. He had been a resident of Orcas Island for more than 30 years. There will be no services.
LARSEN FROM 1 tourism in the islands is the expediting of tourism visas, to make out of country visits more inviting, he added. There was also some discussion on the possibility of having a port of entry for customs on Orcas. One of the biggest concerns raised by the audience was that small businesses are struggling to operate with the high costs of health care. One man said that health care prices have increased so much that he is going to have to ask his employees to pay in just to keep their health insurance. Scott Lancaster of Orcas Island Hardware said he is concerned about the way the two parties are working with one another about important issues. “We’re really getting the squeeze in small places like this,” he said. “Electricity is going up and I just want to let you know we are getting pinched. Democrats and Republicans are bickering over stuff … it’s crazy and has serious consequences to our businesses. You’re acting like children, not just in Congress, but at the White House too.” Larsen said he shares his frustrations with islanders and that he agrees many are acting like children, but added that he doesn’t think he is one of them. He said that he often works with Republicans on significant issues. The congressman said he is sorry that business owners are facing turmoil, but that it is difficult to asses the situation until all aspects of the health care reform kicks in. Larsen also spoke about his support of the building of a coal terminal at Cherry Point in Ferndale, Wash., which he said will “create jobs in a county where there is not a lot of room for industrial growth.” When asked about the budget cuts for U.S. Department of Agriculture for housing, Larsen responded those homes are extremely important, but that the tough truth of today is that it’s better to “trim around the ears than get a buzz cut.”

DUI changes in the works Various changes to the “driving under the influence” law have passed the Legislature and will become effective upon the governor’s signature. The reform makes the penalty for DUI vehicular homicide the same as manslaughter (6 ½ to 8 ½ years) and puts more stringent penalties on those convicted of drunk driving like increased fees and facial recognition systems on ignition-interlock devices. The DUI reform takes effect Aug. 1, 2012. The bill would impose fees to fund Ignition Interlock Devices for DUIconvicted drivers who can’t afford the device. For those who are required to have the Breathalyzer – which activates the device upon exceeding the alcohol limit – and can afford it, an extra $20 per month is tacked on to the original fee. Fees are deposited into the Ignition Interlock Device Revolving Account, which then helps pay the cost for indigent drivers. Fifteen states — now adding Washington, require sentenced drunk drivers to undergo an Ignition Breathalyzer. In addition to these fees people convicted of driving while drunk must now pay $2,500 (originally $1,000) toward emergency response costs if applicable. Also under terms of the new law felony DUI cases are kept as public records.
LETTERS FROM 5 and from school in a convenient, affordable, and safe manner. It is admittedly difficult and painful to make smallscale budgeting decisions
that trade off money used for buses versus teachers, programs, etc. However, when the scope of analysis is scaled back to look at the full budget with buses accounting for only about 1.7 percent (2011-2012 Final Budget data), then the buses appear to be a bargain

for the predictability of daily student attendance and the future parental commitment to the school district that they offer. In the future, decreased state funding, declines in enrollment, or skyrocketing fuel prices could increase the buses’ portion of the
budget to an unacceptably high level. The causes and impacts of such circumstances would then, unfortunately, be widespread, and not having buses to take kids to and from school would be the least of our worries. Bob Connell Eastsound

March 2: A Bellingham woman who succumbed to drug overdose-like symptoms in Eastsound in late afternoon was treated at the scene and later escorted to the ferry landing, with instructions to return directly home. The 31-yearold told authorities she came to Orcas seeking assistance of a doctor for treatment and detox, and ended up in a bathroom in the village square, where she reportedly consumed a quarter-gram of heroin. A local doctor was notified of the incident and of the woman’s chaperoned departure.

Feb. 23: A Lopez Island family found no clues as to the whereabouts of their missing cow despite a frantic, but failed, four-day search. Authorities were notified of the animal’s prolonged disappearance in the event that the 7-month-old Holstein, cared for reportedly by a family son, has been rustled by a cattle thief. Feb. 25: The men’s bathroom at a Lopez Island resort sustained extensive damage after someone apparently let out their frustrations on its fixtures and walls. Someone reportedly smashed several holes into the walls, broke a faucet, ripped a dry erase board off a wall and wrote rude comments and slurs on the walls, all directed at someone named “Bill.” Management believes that the damage was done by someone other than a disgruntled former employee. Feb. 27: An Orcas Island man accused of provoking an altercation with another man came out on the losing end of the fight and was later arrested on a warrant on an unrelated matter. The 41-year-old reportedly refused to leave a man’s Spruce Street home when asked and, according to a witness, instigated the fight that ensued. He was treated for facial injuries later at his home while being taken into custody on a warrant unrelated to the earlier assault. Both combatants declined to press charges. Feb. 29: Excessive speed led to a trio of moving violations for a Morton, Wash., woman following a noontime traffic stop near the intersection of Kirchoff and Orcas Roads. The 42-yearold was ticketed for driving with a suspended license and without insurance, and for speeding. March 1: Excessive speed prompted the arrest of an Orcas Island man following an early evening traffic stop near the intersection of Haven and Orcas Roads. The 48-year-old’s previous license, issued in California, reportedly expired in 1999. He reportedly was driving

HOW A BELOVED SEATTLE MARKET HELPS TO FEED THE NEEDS OF
AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
When the owners of Uwajimaya Market wanted to relocate and enlarge an existing store in downtown Seattle, they turned to Bank of America. Since the 1950s, they’ve relied on us for financing to expand their operations, open new locations and grow their business. As a result, they’ve been able to better serve their customers, provide more jobs and strengthen their role as a focal point for the region’s diverse Asian community. Uwajimaya Market is another example of how we’re working to help small businesses grow and hire in the Puget Sound — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222.5 million in new credit to small businesses in Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010.

From the ashes of poverty, music shall rise Jeffery Broussard & the Creole Cowboys to perform after ‘burgers and brew’ and zydeco dance lessons
by CALI BAGBY
W
Staff reporter
hen Jeffery Broussard plays the accordion, he plays it with his whole body. And his toe tapping, hip shaking and exuberant shoulder shrugging is contagious. His numerous YouTube videos all have one thing in common – a room full of folks swaying and clapping their hands as zydeco and Creole melodies fill the air. Broussard is easily recognized in any of his shows as the one with a joyful smile, cowboy hat, button up shirt, jeans and a toothpick dangling from the corner of his mouth, which he does not remove even when belting out tunes. “I’m hoping that people will get that glimpse into an authentic part of that world through his performance, it’s a pure shot at what he does,” said Orcas Center Director Kara O’Toole. You can see Broussard and the Creole Cowboys for their first island performance on Friday, March 23, 7:30 p.m. at Orcas Center. The center is partnering with the Lower Tavern for burgers and brew, $15, followed by zydeco dance lessons taught by Broussard in the Madrona Room at the center. “Zydeco is kind of like line dancing. So people can get up and move around during the show,” said O’Toole. “We thought it would be fun.” Zydeco, a uniquely American form of roots or folk music, evolved in southwest Louisiana in the early 19th century from forms of Creole music. Usually fast tempo and dominated by the button or piano accor-
dion and a scrub-board, zydeco music was originally created at house dances, where families and friends gathered for socializing. The word zydeco comes from “Les haricots sont pas sales,” a French phrase meaning “the snap beans aren’t salty” – referring to times of poverty, when people couldn’t afford salt to flavor their food. The term Creole has many meanings, including native, homegrown, or a person of mixed European and black descent. In a KPBS radio interview, Broussard said he plays Creole music because he doesn’t want to let the culture, which has been handed down through generations in his family, to pass away. “Jeffrey is the real deal, his upbringing combined with his commitment to sharing zydeco and Creole culture – it’s his life’s mission,” O’Toole said. “He can take his music to any venue, it’s so innate within him.”
Jeffery Broussard’s History Broussard is known as the leading member in Zydeco Force, an influential band at the forefront of the “new” zydeco movement, black American dance music originally from southern Louisiana. His accordion and vocals defined this new style of Creole music, incorporating the soulful sounds of R&B into contemporary zydeco music and dance. He has a range seldom seen in zydeco – from traditional songs from the old masters to originals, singlenote and triple-note accordion to fiddle. Broussard hit the stage at age eight, playing drums in his father’s band, the Delton Broussard and The Lawtell Playboys, where he was exposed to some of the
Live at
Jeffery Broussard & the Creole Cowboys
great Creole fiddle players of that time. When he wasn’t playing music he was on the family farm digging and sorting potatoes, and by the time he reached seventh grade he quit school to work and help make ends meet. During his teen years he played with his brother’s band, but was too shy to sing until he was older. Now his resume includes tours around the world and numerous awards including “Best Zydeco Album” by offBEAT Magazine. When he’s not playing he’s giving accordion lessons. O’Toole said that the accordion is not seen often in mainstream music, but it is a fascinating instrument especially when Broussard plays. “It will be an awesome show,” O’Toole said. “Maybe even bringing music that people have never heard before.” Janet Baltzer, director of the Lopez Center for Community and the Arts, where Broussard will play on Sunday night, said having such music on the island is really a merging of two cultures. She added that even the instruments themselves offer a window into another world - like the scrub board not heard often in the Pacific Northwest. Clifton Broussard, Jeffrey’s brother, plays the unique instrument, and does it with an interesting array of objects including spoons, drumsticks, or eggbeaters. “You can sit and listen or dance your heart away,” Baltzer said. “We are fortunate as a community to have someone like Broussard come and bring his art and talent and culture to us.” Tickets are $25, $19 for Orcas Center members, and $11 for students.

I am just delighted to be allowed to participate in such company!” The Island Sinfonia will continue its spring concert tour at Grace Episcopal Church on Lopez on March
25 and conclude the season at the Friday Harbor Presbyterian Church on May 20. There is no charge; donations accepted.
A grief recovery group will begin meeting Tuesday, March 27 for five weeks from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Meetings will take place upstairs in the new parish hall of Emmanuel Episcopal Church and will be facilitated by Janice Wiemeyer, Ph.D. and River Malcolm, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Grieving is a natural process that follows any significant loss in life which may include loss of a friend or family member through death or divorce, or loss of familiar life functioning due to injury, job loss, or relocation. Wiemeyer and Malcolm say overcoming a major loss can challenge one’s sense of well-being as emotions are strongly affected. “Many grieving individuals find it helpful to meet with others coping with loss and to become familiar with the natural grief process,” they said.

Orcas Center and the Orcas Island Education Foundation applied for a grant from the Orcas Island Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) fund to create a theater piece in June. The joint project is entitled “The Butterfly Effect,� which is inspired by Dan Savage’s “It Gets Better� project to show young LGBT people the levels of happiness, potential, and positivity their lives will reach. For more about “It Gets Better� vista www.itgetsbetter.org. The Orcas project will be based on local, personal stories. Several different stories about how people came to
live an open life as an LGBT person have already been collected. These stories will be written into monologues and performed at the Orcas Center in early June. Auditions will be conducted by Director Jake Perrine and are open to adults ages 16 and up at Orcas Center, April 2-3, 3:30 to 5 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. Use the off center doors to enter. On March 25 from 5 to 7 p.m. there will be a potluck for those involved and interested in the project. Bring something to eat and hear more about the director’s vision and meet the script writer Janet Brownell.
