The times, they are a-changin’ when it comes to liquor sales. Because of the passage of Initiative 1183, Washington state is getting out of the liquor business, but many of the current stores, including liquor stores on Orcas and Lopez, plan to stay in business. Others, such as King’s Market and the Marketplace in Friday Harbor and Island Market on Orcas will be getting into the business of selling liquor for the first time and preparations are already under way. “We’re going to be ready on June 1,” said John McBride, general manager of King’s and the Marketplace, locally owned by Valmark. Meanwhile, state-owned stores, including the one in Friday Harbor, are being auctioned off. Privately owned stores (“contract liquor stores” under state law) such as Trina Olson’s Eastsound Liquor and Wine, Russell’s Liquor Store at Orcas Landing and Lopez Liquor Store can continue in business under the initiative’s “grandfather clause,” which allows con-
tract stores to stay open regardless of size. The sale of liquor at what’s now the state-owned store in Friday Harbor remains possible: the store has attracted 12 bids on the internet auction site Public Surplus. The current high bid, by someone using the bidding name “Altruism,” is $2,650. Bids are expected to rise significantly between now and April 20, when the auction ends, according to Liquor Control Board spokesman Brian Smith. Many stores in metropolitan areas are attracting bids in the tens-of-thousands of dollars, and one bidder has placed a $500,000 bid for operating rights at all stateowned liquor stores. King’s Market and Marketplace, both of which exceed the 10,000 square feet required by Initiative 1158, have applied for spirits retail licenses under the new law and intend to sell hard liquor in addition to beer and wine. Island Market also meets the minimum size requirement. It intends to get the spirits license and start selling booze on June 1, the first date for private sales permitted under the new law, a company official said. But Aaron Dye, owner of Lopez

The five baby goats at Pi Valley Llama farm spend their days frolicking and playing in the green grass. The goats are just a month and half old and in three weeks they will go to their new homes. For now, owner Margi Miles and her mother Jane Bristow will enjoy helping to get these “toddlers” on their feet. “They have brought so much joy into our lives,” Bristow said.

Kids walk for water
Salmonberry School students celebrated World Water Day with a “walk for water” through Eastsound on March 23 (shown at right). Preceding this walka-thon event, students secured pledges from friends and family and then set out to walk to raise awareness of water resource issues around the world and to raise funds to drill wells in

Salmonberry’s first and second graders had been studying many aspects of water this year. This study ranged from literature to biology, chemistry and ecology. The teachers set World Water Day as the particular date for this event and 25 walkers, age 6-11 set out that afternoon with the goal of walking a cumulative 50 miles. When the day was over, however, these kids more than doubled this goal and exceeded 125 miles in all. “I could have kept going,” said Ethan White, age 11.
“Every entree presented for judging by students ranging in ages from five to 15 at the Third Annual Orcas Island School District Student Chef Competition was suitable to serve at a first class restaurant.” Those very words were uttered by our own firstclass chef and one of five on the judging panel – Christina Orchid – during the competition. For the K-5 group, the best overall “Galley Master” award went to Millie Kau and Sabrina Bailey with their perfect preparation of Jamaican jerk chicken and pineapple kabobs. The “Local Yum” winner was Lillyan Otto and Evan King serving up a savory Caribbean chicken casserole. The “Pizazz” award went to Arla and Sam Sutton for their colorful Caribbean tortillas.

The first place winner in the 6th grade group was Monica Connell, who prepared Caribbean jerk stirfry and received perfect scores on her recipe, presentation, taste, “miss en place,” a French phrase meaning “putting in place” and cleanliness. Finalists were Violet and Tori Sturk with their colorful jerk chicken with rice and peas and Alexis Pense with her unique St. Lucia plantains casserole. The high school contestants were teamed up with teachers. It took almost half an hour for the judges to determine the winner because is was so close. In the end, however, the passion and preparation of Denis Riordan, with his teacher counterpart Jill Sherman, came out on top with a recipe of Caribbean crab cakes with scallion pancakes and Caribbean fruit salsa. Katie Holley and teacher Paul Evans came in an achingly close second with a first-class presentation of Caribbean jerk

Ferry fares increase in May Dog rescued from side of cliff Smaller cars get a bigger discount
As Washington state ferries voyage into the peak travel season, all ferry fares will increase on May 1. Another fare change will increase the discount for vehicles shorter than 14 feet. Washington State Ferries is implementing an across-the-board, three-percent fare increase to help cover operating costs and meet revenue targets. This increase applies to all fare types, including vehicle/driver, walk-on, and multi-ride cards. The Transportation Commission approved this increase last August as part of its annual review of ferry fares. The state transportation budget requires WSF to meet an overall revenue target of $310 mil-
lion that must be collected from ferry fares between July 1, 2011, and June 30, 2013. Single-ticket prices for vehicles will also increase 25 percent on all routes, except for the San Juan Islands where they will increase 35 percent, as part of a peak-season surcharge that begins in May. The seasonal surcharge helps pay for increased operational costs that come with increased traffic May through September. Also beginning May 1 is a bigger discount for vehicles shorter than 14 feet. Drivers of small vehicles will now pay 20 percent less than drivers of standard-sized vehicles. The discount increases from 10 percent to 20 percent. Smaller vehicles are still subject to the 3 percent fare increase and seasonal surcharge.
SHERIFF’S LOG
San Juan County Sheriff’s Department reported responding to these calls:
March 9: The tires on five pickups were slashed in apparent act of vandalism in the upper area of the Deer Harbor parking lot on Orcas Island. A man sleeping in a vehicle at the time claims to have seen a large man, apparently intoxicated, targeting the tires of only pickups with a knife. Seven of 16 vehicles parked at that time in the lot, used largely by residents and guest of Waldron Island, were pickups. March 10: Excessive speed prompted the arrest of an Orcas Island boy for driving with a suspended license following a late-morning traffic stop on Orcas Road. The 17-year-old, whose license had been suspended for an infraction of an intermediate license, reportedly was northbound and traveling
20 mph over the posted 35 mph speed limit when he was pulled over in the 2700 block of Orcas Road at about 11 a.m. March 12: An Orcas woman suspects someone pirated the number of her debit card during an off-island trip after her bank account was been used in an attempted purchase of $1,715 of furniture in L.A. The 63-yearold reportedly used the card most recently while off-island at a McDonald’s in Burlington and a Goodwill store in Lynnwood. Her card also had been recently used to purchase $246 of services from a cell phone provider in a San Diego-based transaction. March 17: Expired tags and no light on the rear of his vehicle led to the arrest of an Orcas Island man for driv-
Gardens put back into the CAO by Scott Rasmussen
Journal of the San Juans editor
Gardens are a go. At least as far as the San Juan County Planning Commission is concerned. The commission last week included gardens on the list of “allowed activities” within wetland buffers in the Critical Areas Ordinance and, according to long-time commissioner Barbara Thomas, made significant changes to a series of proposed regulations that will dictate the future use and protection of local wetlands. Thomas, a commission member since the early 90s, said rules approved by the commission on Friday differs substantially from those proposed by the planning department. Gardens are one example. “It’s still a site-specific ordinance for wetlands and
for buffers,” she said. “But it’s not the same ordinance that came to us.” The commission meets Thursday, in Friday Harbor, to determine the “facts and findings” to back its approval of wetland section of the county critical areas ordinance. The commission’s recommended wetland rules will then go to the county council for a final decision. Up next for the planning commission is the Fish and Wildlife section of the CAO, which, according to Chairman Brian Ehrmantraut, will get under way sometime in May.
ing with a suspended license following a traffic stop on Orcas Road. The 31-year-old, who was taken into custody at about 10 p.m., was also ticketed for driving without a license and without insurance. March 24: A bicycle pump and pressure gauge vanished from the Lopez home of an 84-year-old Issaquah man in an apparent break-in and theft. Someone reportedly broke into the garage of the Peninsula Road home, unoccupied at the time, swiped the pump and gauge, valued at $30, and caused $25 in damages. March 28: Someone used a wooden patio bench to break a window and then steal $100 of liquor in an apparent break-in and theft of a Lopez Island home. The Bakerview Road home, belonging to a Seattle man, was unoccupied at the time of the break-in and theft occurred. March 29: Driving without a seat belt prompted the arrest of a Lopez man for driving with a suspended license following a traffic stop. The 63-year-old was taken into custody at 5 p.m. in the 300 block of Lopez Road.

When a young Scottish Terrier fell down a cliff and became stuck in a blackberry bush, Orcas Fire and Rescue knew just what to do. Maggie, a 4-year-old Scottie, took a 10-foot tumble behind the family home and became stranded on a rock ledge 70 feet above the water in the Rosario area. Her owner, Nancy Wrightsman, called Orcas Fire and Rescue for help around 9 p.m. on April 3. Responders used wellpracticed rope rescue operations and successfully retrieved Maggie from her precarious position.

hen a local reader sent us images of what appeared to be a survey stake with Japanese writing, it looked like possible debris from the March 11, 2011 tsunami in Japan. We searched the Internet to find what other fragments have been coming toward the Pacific Northwest coast, and what we found was troubling. The most recent item was an abandoned 150-foot fishing ship floating off the coast of British Columbia’s Queen Charlotte Islands in March. This huge rusted vessel emerged from the ocean like a ghost, enduring a disaster that than 15,000 people did Report possible tsunami more not survive. The U.S. Coast Guard debris to DisasterDebris@ later sunk the ship, sending it down to its final resting place on noaa.gov. the ocean’s floor. It’s been more than a year since the disaster hit Japan, but experts say remnants of the tsunami will continue drifting onto the shores of the Pacific Northwest for decades to come. What does it mean that our reminder of how vulnerable life is comes in the form of trash, rusty boats, fishing nets, chunks of wood and plastic? Is this what humans have left behind to tell their stories? If a tsunami hit Orcas Island, what pieces of our lives would be found floating in the ocean, washing ashore in communities halfway around the globe? The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration urges people to be careful when picking up debris or anything else on the shorelines. Watch sharp objects that could cut your hands; avoid picking up sealed containers of chemicals – they may crack or break; report any full drum on the beach and avoid handling it. If you find a remnant from the tsunami, take a moment to think about where it came from and who held it in their hands. Our lives can change in a heartbeat, and sometimes it’s the strangest things that remind us of life’s fragility.

To the Editor: Thank you for Shakespeare Fest Wow. Many thanks to the Chamber of Commerce and what must have been numerous volunteers for Shakespeare on Saturday! The intrigue created a lot of fun dialogue early on. The opening of the Bard Gallery was just a small hint of what was to come. (Thank you Bill at Chimayo/Sazio for the best squash ravioli ever.) The colored ribbons going up still did not provide much of what to expect. All those incredible rose petals strewn all over town was the first big clue. How magnificent! Even still, what the event had in store was amazing. The wandering musicians, the number of costumes, the children, the procession, face painting, floral head wreaths, and the number of happy visitors here for Shakespeare weekend was wonderful. The day was pure joy and quite remarkable. This shop owner was overwhelmed and giddy all day, even limited to the view from my shop. It was the energy this event created on a rainy day in late March that was so special and is so appreciated. With gratitude for life on Orcas. Ginny Lu Wood Wood’s Cove
Thanks, council, for BLM support San Juan County islanders thanked its county council for unanimously supporting permanent protection of local Bureau of Land Management federal properties in the islands. The county council voted to send a letter to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and the Washington congressional delegation expressing their support of either congressional action or presidential proclamation to achieve federal protection. “We thank the council for its leadership and thank the many, many people who have expressed their support,” said Asha Lela, chair of the group Islanders for a San Juan Islands National Conservation Area. “We will continue to make sure that there is permanent protection for the BLM lands and that islanders are involved in the management of these lands.” Congressional legislation to per-

Why rewrite CAO? It is hard to believe that the county is hard at work on making something terribly complicated when tight money and staff budgets should dictate economies of the effort to accomplish any given task. The money and time spent on the CAO initiative must be enormous. We hear the protestations by our officials who claim that they are only complying with state mandates. Is this really inaccurate? State law requires a periodic review of the SJC Comprehensive Plan. Instead, county staff planners and county council have decided to re-write rather than update the current CAO ordinance. This has gone way beyond state requirements and has resulted in a far-reaching regulatory document that imposes new controls over most homeowner activities. Example: The so-called “buffers” around loosely defined “wetlands” and various water courses found on most residential and farmland properties in the County; the effectiveness of these buffers is quesMailing/Street Address P.O.

tionable. Another example is the expectation that homeowners obtain written approvals from the county before making changes on their property. County officials apparently want to assure that the homeowner’s activities don’t damage their new county-declared “buffers” on the homeowner’s property. If property owners don’t have written permits from the county, they may be subject to misdemeanor charges and fines levied by the Community Development and Planning Director, according to a new enforcement now underway. Furthermore, under the new rules, the county will declare many existing homes and uses in the uplands and shorelines as nonconforming. Does any homeowner want such a label attached to their property? Are consequences on property values and possible sale not predictable? Has the impact on the economy of our county been studied, if the re-written CAO were to become law? A big hit on all builders and contractors can be expected. Other businesses may follow. This could mean lost jobs. There have been many meetings and presentations on this subject during the past several weeks and months. Our elected county council representatives and county officials should take note of our opposition to the proposed new law and enforcement measures. We would like to see that they are getting the message and understand what we think about the proposals. Rolf C. Nedelmann Orcas Island

LETTERS FROM 4 In 1854 Herman Meville, author of Moby Dick, penned a short story, easily read in ten minutes: “The Lightning Rod Man.” A rascal goes door-to-door selling lightning rods, dramatically appearing at the height of thunderstorms forewarning danger and the benefits of his product in protecting from certain disaster. This time honored sales technique of doom is alive and well here: the Critical Areas Ordinance. American history is full of tales of cozeners playing on anxiety and ignorance. Today, we have wetlands buffer promoters masquerading as a kind of scientific or technical authority backed by the powers-thatbe. Herman Melville nailed this character over 150 years ago as have many American authors since. The Music Man: “We’ve got trouble in River City.” Elmer Gantry. The Wizard of Oz. The Flim Flam Man. And now, wetlands connivers using big words, exotic calculators and boasting of obscure research, reminiscent of dowsers and water witchers of old. From ‘Know Nothing’ angst over rising tides of immigrants to McCarthyism’s search for communists to radical environmentalism’s peculiar self-loathing, there have always been people using troubles of the day to grab for power. Sadly, the CAO is little more than a power grab, no more effective at environmental protection than the Radium Ore Revigorator was in restoring “wilted water” in 1925. According to the American

Medical Association: “As is commonly the case with latter-day pseudo-medicine having large financial resources behind it, the Revigorator puts forward a hypothesis for which there is no foundation and proceeds to build claims upon it.” Sound familiar? Nearly every CAO sales pitch you hear sounds eerily like the dangers touted by Melville’s 19th Century Lightning Rod Man or purveyors of the Radium Ore Revigorator. They all share a common thread in sales methods: a magic bullet, a miracle pill or an amazing cure that only expert authorities can provide. And, one that you must pay for, pass into law, or otherwise take advantage of immediately or face a dreadful fate. Please read the “Lightning Rod Man.” Just a few pages long, easy to find on the web. Read it, before it’s too late. Richard Civille San Juan Island

April is sexual assault awareness month Look for a story from DVSAS each week this month. by KIM BRYAN
The following comment was stated at a public meeting a year ago. “Our island is a safe place where our children can go play at the park or ride their bike to the store alone. We don’t have to worry about sexual abuse issues around here. If you allow this registered sex offender to move into our county then that safety will be gone!” Really? Statistics tell us that one in three girls and
one in five boys will be sexually assaulted by their 16th birthday. More than 90 percent of these victimized children know and trust their abusers. Can we really believe that one registered sex offender will burst our “safety bubble”? At this meeting I was sitting behind a family with a small boy around five years old. About halfway through the meeting he asked to go to the bathroom. His parents sent him alone, out the door, down the hallway and around the corner to the rest room. He returned,

only to ask to go again a few minutes later. As the minutes ticked by, I so desperately wanted to tap his father on the shoulder and ask him if he knew who might be in that rest room with his little son! Thirteen agonizing minutes later he returned. While focused on keeping a registered sex offender off their island, his parents seemed oblivious to the risk their little boy had just been exposed to. Could it be possible that we have lulled ourselves into a false sense of safety? Statistics tell us that there were at least a few sex offenders at that meeting. Isn’t it time we islanders
open our eyes to the real dangers living amongst us? It’s not that we want to distrust everyone in our circle of friends and family. It is just that, for the sake of our children, we must educate ourselves on the insidious threats that are living and working next to us every day. Next week we will discuss the “grooming behaviors” used by those around us to dishonestly gain our trust.

tsunami will show up on Pacific beaches for decades to come. “If people find debris that can easily and safely be disposed of, we ask that they do so,” Belva said. “However if it’s personal items or something that looks like it can be returned to an owner, or other significant debris, the sighting can be reported to NOAA.” As for the 150-foot “ghost ship,” a U.S. Coast Guard cutter unleashed cannon fire on the vessel Thursday. It sank into waters more than 6,000 feet deep in the Gulf of Alaska. People cleaning up shorelines are urged to be careful of sharp objects that could cut your hands; avoid picking up sealed containers of chemicals – they may crack or break and spill the content on you. Likewise, report any full drum on the beach, and avoid handling it. For Averna, finding this remnant of such a disaster on Orcas gave him an eerie feeling that flotsam has survived when so many people have not. “I thought that whoever put that stake in the ground might be gone,” said Averna. “Finding this really gave it more of a reality for me.” Report debris to DisasterDebris@noaa.gov. If you who wish to contribute to the collection of baseline marine debris information, consider downloading the Marine Debris Tracker smartphone application (www.marinedebris.engr. uga.edu/).

Update on OPALCO’s broadband initiative by CHRIS THOMERSON OPALCO Board President
For 75 years OPALCO has met the prime directive for which it was created: to provide the electrical service that is now essential in our lives. Electricity is so ingrained in our way of life we take it for granted. Internet and other data communication services, collectively called broadband, are rapidly becoming just as essential. More than 15 years ago OPALCO started enhancing the data communications network that manages the electric distribution system. This system is constantly being expanded to meet increasing demands of Smart Grid initiatives that reduce outages, increase efficiency, and reduce energy costs to ensure the electricity supply remains safe, reliable, and low cost. Many of you comment that the lights now stay on under stormy high wind conditions where previously the candles would have been lit or the generator fired up. This increased reliability is the result of painstaking, deliberate improvements including system design, optimized equipment, and improved high-speed data communications to meet the strategic directive of improving reliability. Our planned enhancements over the next many years give us the opportunity to provide the foundation for additional services that
have been identified as critical needs for our members. These identified countywide needs are emergency responder communications, reliable and affordable highspeed internet, and mobile voice and data coverage. The need for emergency responder communications county-wide is clear. We have all heard stories of emergency situations where responders were unable to be called to action, or were unable to respond effectively in situations when every second counts. Our local emergency communications systems are simply inadequate. Our local Economic Development Council has carried out an in-depth analysis of available Internet services and demonstrated that our local economy will increasingly suffer from lack of reliable countywide Internet access. The indicators show that local educational and employment options are rapidly deteriorating as the rest of the world uses available high-speed internet access and assumes we have that access. We don’t. We surveyed you, our members, and you told us overwhelmingly that you want OPALCO to take a leadership role in providing these necessary services. No other local entity has the scope, capability, and existing infrastructure to provide a county-wide solution to this county-wide
problem. The OPALCO board has authorized ongoing work to plan how these necessary services might be provided. We need to find creative solutions to the significant obstacles in the way of making this work. OPALCO employees are currently developing a community solution that covers 90 percent of our county. Being sensitive to our pristine environment, they are working to minimize impact and maximize effectiveness by focusing on a hybrid network of new distributed wireless technologies using many small antennas mounted on existing electric power poles. We at OPALCO feel that the move toward providing networked communications services for our members echoes the community spirit that first created this Cooperative 75 years ago. This broadband project must make economic and environmental sense, or we will not do it. When we can benefit our community by providing necessary safety, economic, and educational opportunities, OPALCO will strive to make it work. After all, we are neighbors, we live here.
LIQUOR FROM 1 Village Market, said that he has no intention to sell spirits in competition with Lopez Liquor Store even though his store meets the size requirement. Lopez Liquor Store, a contract store owned by Marc and Margie Zener, intends to stay in business – if it has the capital. Contract stores must purchase current inventory from the state and then buy stock at wholesale market prices through distributors – plus pay new taxes. The costper-unit will increase, and so will consumer prices, which might put a profit squeeze on stores such as Lopez Liquor.

Vikings fall to Wolverines Orcas sailors host Port Townsend Lady Vikings softball team plays hard against Friday Harbor by RANDALL BOETGER Orcas high school senior
The Orcas Lady Vikings softball team played a tough game last Friday against island rivals the Friday Harbor Wolverines. The Vikings fell short in a 7-2 loss at Buck Park. What is unusual about this rivalry between Orcas and Friday Harbor is that many of the girls have friends on the Friday
Harbor team. “It was fun being in such an intense rivalry game,” said Viking Shelbi “Big Shelbs” Rogers. “We have some friends on the Friday Harbor softball team and that made it more special.” The Wolverines opened up an early five-run lead due to four Viking errors in the 2nd inning. By the 4th the determined Vikings had regained their composure with two RBIs sent home by junior Katie Holley, her first hit of the year, improving the score 2-5. However, the Wolverine outfielders stymied the Viking pressure by nabbing strong pop flies by
Bella Nigretto, Lana Bronn, Rogers and Alicia Susol. A few more Viking errors later in the game allowed two more Wolverine runs, preventing a late game Viking comeback. The Vikings did enjoy some fantastic defensive plays by Alena Janssen, Bronn, Susol and especially Kathryn Tidwell at second base. “We are a young team and need experience,” said coach Scott Harris, attributing the loss to growing pains. “The Vikings overall played well, but couldn’t overcome the Wolverines today.”

The Port Townsend High School Sailing Team traveled to Orcas on April 6 and 7 for a team race meet on West Sound. Sunny skies and moderate northeast breeze made for fantastic sailing conditions. “It was the best team racing conditions we have seen all season,” said Port Townsend coach Sugar Flannigan. The teams ran many races Friday and Saturday to improve their fundamental skills. The racing was close with multiple lead changes each race. Scores were not kept
and the teams enjoyed a barbecue lunch together at the yacht club picnic shelter after the racing Saturday. The Orcas team was invited onboard the Port Townsend team’s Schooner Alcyone for a Saturday afternoon sail on West Sound, where they learned how to pull the anchor, hoists sails, coil line, climb the rigging and enjoy a rope swing. The team travels to Central Kitsap on April 14 and 15 and then to Port Townsend on April 20 and 21.

HOW A FAMILY-OWNED FERRY SERVICE IS
GOING THE DISTANCE FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS — AND THE SEATTLE ECONOMY.
For more than 25 years, the iconic red-and-blue Clipper fleet has been ferrying commuters and vacationers alike between Seattle, Victoria, B.C. and the spectacular San Juan Islands. To keep the fleet as modern and comfortable as possible for passengers, Clipper Vacations began working with Bank of America in 2007. We initially helped by restructuring loans that enabled engine upgrades, allowing the fleet to reach speeds of up to 30 knots. More recently, we provided financing to modernize the fleet’s interior cabins. It’s a relationship that’s not only helping to get Seattle residents where they need to go — it’s also helping to generate local economic growth: the family-owned fleet employs 150 people. Clipper is another example of how we’re working to help locally based businesses grow and hire in the Puget Sound — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222 million in new credit to small businesses in Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010. To learn more about what we’re doing to help strengthen the local economy, visit bankofamerica.com/Seattle

Spring music
A full spectrum of music hits the islands this month
by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter
Islanders will have the chance to hear a broad spectrum of music this month – from famous songwriters to Quebec tunes to the sounds of 1820. Check out a sampling of the events below.
Carolyn Cruso and Joanne Rand When Joanne Rand describes why she likes performing on Orcas Island, it sounds like she is writing a song. “Climbing Mount Constitution. The vibe of the place. The green forest. Looking into Canada. Doe Bay. The ferry boat ride. The remoteness and sense of timelessness,” she said, listing off her favorite island things. “Orcas is like a jewel.” Rand, known as a legendary songwriter-performer, is coming to Orcas to perform with local musician Carolyn Cruso as part of the “Beyond the Park Concert Series” at Olga Energetics Club, Friday, April 20, 7 p.m. Cruso will perform on vocals and guitar, with Rand on piano, guitar and vocals. This is the first time the two women will appear in the same concert, but they are fans of each other’s music. Rand first heard Cruso at the FARwest Fest last October in Eugene, Ore. “Her music is hypnotic and quite beautiful,” Rand said. “I think we will be a good match.” Cruso’s songs tell the tales of traveling minstrels, seekers, divine misfits, forgotten corners, and the remaining pockets of beauty left in the wake of man’s progress. Rand is known for passionate and often intimate performances. Her songs cover a range of topics – from cleaning the house to lyrics written after she discovered
that her brother was diagnosed with AIDS. The songwriter said it feels good, like she is connected to something beyond herself, when she shares her stories with an audience. “Many of my songs are very personal. These songs mark my survival as I surf the tsunami of life,” Rand said. “I express the feelings, rather than suppress them. I think it helps others to release their feelings too, or understand them.” Tickets are $10 at the door. For more info, call 376-2747 or visit www. radiofreeolga.com.
Concert Spirituel
Singer-songwriter David Roth If Jerry Seinfeld and James Taylor were mashed together, the result would likely be an irreverent, witty singer-songwriter like David Roth. Roth has been performing for more than two decades. His songs have made their way to Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, the Space Shuttle “Atlantis,” as well into play lists of the Kingston Trio and Peter, Paul and Mary. Unlike David Lee Roth, he’s never played with Van Halen, the hard rock band. You can hear Roth’s melodies on guitar and piano, Friday, April 13, 7:30 p.m. at the Orcas Senior Center. Admission is $12 or, as Roth says on his poster, “less if you can’t afford that” – he’s just that kind of guy. For more info, visit davidrothmusic.com.
During the early 19th century, numerous composers featured the sounds of flute, guitar and viola in their chamber music. The Salish Sea Early Music Festival presents these sounds of the past in “1820: Flute, Viola and Guitar,” on Sunday afternoon, April 22, 1:30 p.m. at Rosario Resort’s Music Room, 1400 Rosario Road. The concert features guitarist contributed photos Non-stop dance rhythms, hearty Oleg Timofeyev, flutist Jeffrey Cohan Above left: Joanne Rand.

Jane (Willis) BarfootHodde was born on the Willis family homestead near Obstruction Pass in 1913. Her grandparents were among the first white families to settle on
Earth Day celebration
the east side in the 1880’s. She is a founding member of the Orcas Grange and was recently honored for 80 years of service to that organization. Tom Welch was born and raised on Shaw Island and retired to Orcas Island after a career in the military. He has served on the boards of several community organizations, including the Orcas Museum, and compiled historical information for the book “Images of America: Orcas Island.”
‘Gardens: Art and Form’ The Orcas Garden Club is presenting Jeffri Coleman and Michael Rivkin of Crow Valley Pottery at the April 18 meeting. Their topic will be “Gardens: Art and Form,” 10 a.m. in the Madrona Room of Orcas Center. As their many customers already know, these two
excel in the area of garden decoration at their “Cabin” on Orcas Road and the Crow Valley Pottery Shop in Eastsound. Coleman is an artist and potter respected for his inventive works. Rivkin still does all of the carving, and has become a master at tile and mosaic.
Healing Arts Fair
The Healing Arts Center welcomes the community to attend its Spring Healing Arts Fair on Saturday and Sunday, April 28 and 29. This fundraiser, offered twice a year, lets people try out the practitioners’ services at a greatly discounted rate. Call 376-4002 for an appointment. New this year is a food drive. Bring in a non-perishable food item for the Orcas Island Food Bank and receive a raffle ticket for a treatment with the practitioner of your choice! Bring in five items and receive five raffle tickets.
Spaghetti dinner will also be available at the door on Wednesday night. All proceeds will benefit the Middle School Associated Student Body.
Bring your dancing shoes and get ready for a fun night of dancing sponsored by Orcas Community Dance. The theme is World Music and the dance will feature a combination of salsa, reggae, and other highly danceable beats provided by local DJ's Bruce and Jyoti Pavitt and Jay Kimball. The event, which will benefit the Farm Education And Sustainability for Teens program, is on Saturday, April 21 from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. at the Oddfellows Hall. There is a $5 to $10 donation.
Special Olga potluck Are you getting ready for boating season? It’s just around the corner. One of the ways to get ready is to review the essentials of boating safety, and that is the topic of a special presentation at the Olga Potluck on Saturday, April 14. Orcas resident Dave Tribolet, a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary, will speak on Boating Safety. Tribolet will also have on display safety and rescue equipment. Everyone is welcome at Olga monthly potlucks, which are held at the Olga Community Center. Social hour begins at 5:30 p.m., and dinner is at 6:30 p.m. Everyone brings an appetizer, a main dish or a dessert plus a place setting.
