Lancaster runs for council When fires rage, there is a plan

by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher

And then there were two. Scott Lancaster has announced he will run for county council in the upcoming November election. He will run against Rick Hughes, who released a statement about his candidacy in early May. The two men are competing for council position #4, Orcas West. “After living here for 20 years, running one of the largest businesses on the island and being president of the Builders Association and on the school board, I think I have a good feel of the issues – from the Critical Areas Ordinance to the shoreline to solid waste,” Lancaster said. Lancaster was general manager at Island Hardware and Supply before purchasing Ace Hardware in Eastsound four years ago. He and his wife Therese run the business together. Their son Patrick lives in California, where he works at an Ace Hardware in Oceanside. Their daughter Lindsay will be a junior next year at Orcas Island High School. Scott has been on the Orcas School Board for seven years. His terms expires in November 2013, but if he wins the council election, he will resign. He has also been a Kiwanis member for 35 years and on the San Juan Builders Association for eight years. One of Scott’s goals was to replace the county administrator, but Pete Rose recently resigned from that position. Last week, the council approved a consultant agreement with veteran government manager Robert W. Jean, who will serve as administrator until

Hughes said he is running for office because as an operator of a small business in Eastsound – Ray’s Pharmacy – and a former Fortune 100 executive, he has seen what it takes to run an organization in an efficient manner. “I look forward to a good campaign with Rick,” Scott said. “It’s not going to get nasty. We will still be friends when this is over. But I think I have the edge on him with experience.” Richard Fralick, who currently holds the Orcas West position, says he will not be seeking reelection.

Smith graduates from United World ‘Lily’ donates money by Thomas Roosma Orcas Christian School

Emma Smith has graduated from UWC as a Davis Scholar.

BEST TIRE VALUE PROMISE

The Orcas Christian School family would like to congratulate Emma Smith on her graduation from the 2012 class of United World College. Smith was one of 50 students in our country selected to attend UWC as a Davis Scholar and United States ambassador. United World College’s mission is to “unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.” Nelson Mandela, who is an honorary president of the college, said, “The striking thing about UWC is that they embrace the entire world across all divides of race, culture, wealth, religion, economic status, and

political belief: they are unique and they are conscious of their responsibility.” UWC was founded in 1962 with the vision of bringing together young people whose experience was of the political conflict of the cold war era, offering an educational experience based on shared learning, collaboration and understanding so that the students would act as champions of peace. There are 13 schools across the globe and more than 140 countries with National Selection Committees. Smith’s graduating class of 103 has students representing 96 different countries. Smith will be attending Duke University in the fall.

OICF awards more than Council looks at enforcing $100k in local grants Orcas Village parking Island nonprofits gathered under one roof to celebrate funding from the Orcas Island Community Foundation. This year’s grants surpassed $100,000 for the second year in a row. Funds were distributed to 24 local nonprofits and agencies in support of programs that provide critical services and cultural experiences to the Orcas community. Included is $14,000 to OICF’s new Focus Area Initiatives in the area of medical, dental, and mental health, including returning visits by Medical Team International’s Dental Van to Orcas Island. Funding for this annual grant cycle comes in part from the interest and dividend earnings income on the Community Endowment Fund, which has grown to $1 million. Additional funds are contributed by individuals through the Partners in Philanthropy program. The ceremony was on May 24 at Orcas Center. Every year, the Orcas High School senior civics and economics classes identify issues of significance and grant money to organizations that support them. This year, the kids chose to give all of the $5,000 t0 the Medical Collaboration, which provides support for uninsured medical coverage at any of the island clinics. The following is a list of the OICF grant recipients. Children’s House: $1,000 to purchase equipment for continuous grounds maintenance.

the ‘Vehicles and Traffic’ chapter,” Dietzman said. Right now, only county roads at Roche Harbor Resort and the Islandale Subdivision on Lopez have time-limit signs that are enforceable. “We're only responding to local concerns that some cars are parked for two or three days in parking zones designated for two or three hours,” Dietzman said. “We’re not being proactive unless a citizen or local business complains about the situation.” The council has scheduled the matter for Public Hearing and possible action at the regularly-scheduled June 26 meeting.

State: pertussis is ‘epidemic’ The reported cases of pertussis this year jumped by 200 in a single week in early May, to a total of 1484, according to the Washington Department of Health. That is more than 10 times the number of cases reported in the state during the same period last year. The San Juan County Health Department reports probable cases have been identified on Orcas, Lopez and San Juan Island, but with a low infection rate. “Normally, the number of cases subside during the summer months, but it returns with a vengeance in the fall,” said County Personal Health Services Manager Susan Leff. Between September 1 and December 31 of last year, San Juan County had 51 cases of the disease – two requiring hospitalization. Pertussis, sometimes called “whooping cough” is a highly infectious respiratory illness that can be deadly to young infants. It is spread

by sneezing and coughing. More information on the disease is available at www. doh.wa.gov. The vaccine is highly effective at protecting individuals from pertussis. Leff advises parents to make sure their children are vaccinated and all adults over 19 years of age need a onetime booster “Tdap” shot. Babies under six months of age are too young for the vaccine. To help all adults get vaccinated, the San Juan County Health Department is offering a series of drop-in clinics – sliding scale pricing is available. The clinic on Orcas is on Thursday, May 31 from 11 to 6 p.m. Appointments are avail-

able from health and community services at 3784474.

e sat on the edge of his bed, head bent low, fatigue creeping into every ounce his body. What would it be like to wake up each morning, hop on the school bus and not be taunted? How would it feel to breeze through a day, well liked by classmates and never ridiculed? For many kids, this is a conversation that is played in their heads over and over again. Being bullied is a traumatic, damaging experience for adolescents, teens and even college kids across the country. For some, it ends in suicide. Tyler Clementi, 18, jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge days after learning that his Rutgers University roommate Dharun Ravi had announced on Twitter that he’d seen him “making out with a dude.” Ravi had also invited friends to watch Clementi on a date in their freshman dorm room. Last week, Ravi was sentenced to 30 days in jail for charges related to the cyberbullying. The best way to stop this kind of harassment is knowledge, awareness and education. Orcas Center’s new play “The Butterfly Effect” is inspired by a worldwide movement of anti-bullying video messages and adapted from local stories. It was created as direct response to the “epidemic of gay teen suicides across the country,” says director Jake Perrine. We are all different. It’s what makes the world such a thrilling, maddening place. When we can embrace and accept our differences, that is when hatred – in all its ugly forms – is wiped out. Thank you to the brave islanders who shared their stories for “The Butterfly Effect.” Thank you to Orcas Center and the LGBT grant funding for this production. If you think the islands are immune to bullying – you’re wrong. Take your friends, your spouse, your co-workers – but more importantly, your teenage kids – to the performances on June 1, 2 and 3. The production is rated PG-15. For more information about the play, see our Island Living cover on page 9. To those young men and women who are hanging their heads in shame and silence, you are not alone. And we promise, it does get better.

Where did the Jones’ products go? The purpose of government in the common view is to protect and promote the welfare of the people. The rational view of this purpose includes – of necessity – considerations of ecology of our food supply, how it is produced, and where. We, for a time, felt favored by living near a source of beef that is well-nourished on good ground and raised and marketed by a group of people sharing our insular culture and outlook. The product, when available in a local grocery, bore the name of a Lopez family. Shipped from a nearby island, it conformed to an important principle of ecology, resulting in modest cost and pollution of the atmosphere. But what has happened to the Lopez family and their splendid product? Seeking it on Orcas, we found, instead, a product that was shipped 2,000 miles or so from Wisconsin by strangers, thus involving transport pollution on a larger scale. In the Islands’ Sounder some time ago, we had read that our county government had taken an interest in the Lopez family operations. We hear that the county questioned compliance with regulations by the Jones Family Farm on Lopez. Ultimately, your paper assured us that no action was being taken against them; no problem. Yet, their operations seem to have ceased. How has the peoples’ welfare been promoted? Local small entrepreneurs form the basis of the most successful and appreciated American way of life.

By the way, I’ve never heard a complaint from a consumer on the Jones Family Farm’s superb and nourishing product. App Applegate Olga

Music meets math As I staggered up the steps of the 6:25 p.m. sailing from Anacortes to Orcas after a full and exhausting day of Middle School Honor Band activity, of which three members of Orcas MS band eagerly participated in, I thought of the great relief that lie in store for me: comfortable ferry cushions in which to recline and much needed rest. However, I could not even imagine what my immediate future had in store for me as I greeted the Math Olympiad students from Orcas, accompanied by our beloved Ms. Lori Oakes who immediately proceeded to place me into a “full nelson” wrestling hold followed by swift karate kicks appropriately placed.

As I lay there in a pool of exasperation, I faintly recall the words, “How dare you take some of my best math students away from me in our time of need!” Ms. Oakes exclaimed. She was, of course referring to the aforementioned honor band students who happen to be, you guessed it, great math students! Drifting toward unconsciousness, it hit me like a ton of killer whales cruising Cascade Lake: was there a relationship between math and music and how does it fit into the scheme of public education as we know it? Stay tuned for further information by coming to the Orcas Center this Thursday, May 31 at 7 p.m. and see your tax dollars at work as well as math and music walking hand in hand with the complete middle school and high school band and Mrs. Wright’s MS and HS strings all playing their hearts out.

Community immunity: taking care of each other by Iris Graville

Here’s what we islanders do for each other. We make meals when a new baby arrives or when someone goes through chemotherapy. When a family’s house burns down, we give shelter and help build a new one. Some of us mentor school kids, others drive shuttle buses for seniors, and many serve on the boards of nonprofits. But we’re missing the boat when it comes to one important way to help our communities – immunizations. Earlier this year, two health reports singled out San Juan County. The first, a survey by the University of Wisconsin’s Population Health Institute, named ours the healthiest county in Washington state, citing our low rates of adult obesity and smoking. Around the same time, the “New England Journal of Medicine” reported that San Juan County is the worst in the nation when it comes to vaccinating children, with only 28 percent of kindergarteners and 11 percent of sixth graders meeting school vaccine requirements. These numbers are troubling in light of Gov. Gregoire’s recent announcement of a statewide pertussis (whooping cough) epidemic. She projects we’re headed for 3,000 cases this year, an alarming jump over the 965 reported in 2011. Pertussis is a highly contagious bacterial infection that usually starts with mild cold symptoms. For young children, it typically causes uncontrollable coughing spells, followed by gagging or vomiting and a “whoop” sound. Infants are most vulnerable for severe complications and death. Last year, 38 Washington infants were hospitalized with pertussis, and two died (including a baby in nearby Everett). Our community is at risk. School immunization reports indicate just over half of San Juan County kindergartners were adequately immunized against pertussis for the 2010–2011

school year. A vaccine for adolescents and adults (Tdap – tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) is available, too, but vaccination rates for this group are even worse than those for young children. And that’s a worry for prevention efforts. Since the disease often is less severe for older youth and adults, they may unknowingly pass it on those around them. Some people are susceptible to vaccine-preventable diseases like pertussis because they decline immunizations. As a school nurse and former immunization nurse, I’ve answered parents’ doubts that diseases like polio and measles still exist (they do and in some places are on the rise); I’ve heard fears about a study linking measles vaccines and autism (the report was retracted, and the doctor involved lost his license); and I’m aware that some perceive school vaccine requirements as government intrusion. Others, though, can’t

receive this preventive care even if they wanted to. The vaccination isn’t given to babies under two months because their immature immune systems can’t respond. Older children and adults whose immune systems are weak because of illness or aging can’t be vaccinated, either. Here’s where our helping spirit comes in. When enough of us get our vaccinations, we benefit even those who don’t. Such “community immunity” cuts the spread of diseases like pertussis to our vulnerable neighbors. In response to the pertussis epidemic, San Juan County Health and Community Services has scheduled drop-in Tdap immunization clinics (Orcas - May 31, 11-6 p.m). Now it’s time for us to do our part to achieve community immunity. Lopezian Iris Graville, RN, MN is the school nurse for Orcas Island Schools.

San Juan County Sheriff’s Department reported responding to these calls:

May 9: Excessive speed and a pair of warrants prompted the arrest of an Orcas man following a mid-afternoon traffic stop on Olga Road. The 33-year-old, who reportedly twice failed to appear in court, once for a DUI charge and also for a public nuisance-related offense, was taken into custody in the 3200 block of Olga Road at about 2:30 p.m. He was also ticketed for speeding. May 10: A bank bag and about $600 cash disappeared from a west side Orcas restaurant in an apparent case of theft. With no sign of a forced entry, authorities suspect that

the thief had inside information about the combination to the West Sound Cafe’s kitchen door. May 14: Errant driving prompted the arrest of an Orcas man for DUI following a early morning traffic stop on Mount Baker Road. The 47-year-old, who was pulled over in the 500 block shortly before 9 a.m., reportedly had let a tire on his pickup drift into the oncoming lane of traffic as a patrol car was headed in his direction. • A familiar face and a warrant led to the arrest of an Orcas man following an

encounter with a deputy at a Crescent Beach Road convenience store. The 40-year-old, reportedly wanted for failing to appear in court on a DUI charge, was taken into custody at the scene. May 15: An Orcas man accused of damaging a neighbor’s property with a baseball bat faces charges of obstructing an officer and resisting arrest following an unsuccessful attempt to leave the scene in a pickup. The 42-year-old, who reportedly was combative and subdued by a taser, was taken into custody near his Crow Valley home.

IT’S ELECTRIFYING! THANKS FOR YOUR FEEDBACK AT THE BROADBAND FORUMS Thank you to everyone who attended the five community forums we recently held in partnership with the San Juan County Economic Development Council on Orcas, Shaw, Lopez, and San Juan Island to discuss the countywide broadband initiative. The broadband initiative is still a work in progress and no final decisions have been made, but we were excited to share with you a draft of a possible system design and we’re grateful for the comments and suggestions we heard. This is a brief recap of the presentation and feedback from the forums. A full article is available online. The four goals of the Broadband Initiative are to: 1. Expand OPALCO’s existing data network to allow “Smart Grid” technologies that will enhance reliability of our electrical system and help our members conserve energy. 2. Help our local emergency services improve their communications systems by eliminating “dead zones” in their radio coverage. 3. Make high-speed Internet access available to at least 90% of the County. 4. Provide opportunities for cell phone companies to expand their services here in a way that minimizes impact on our beautiful island environment. The proposed system design involves connecting OPALCO’s existing fiber optic backbone to approximately 100 utility poles throughout the islands. High speed internet (broadband) service would be delivered wirelessly from these poles to local homes and businesses. Emergency services radio facilities could locate on the poles where additional coverage is needed. And, we could provide space and connections on these same poles for cell phone companies who choose to take advantage of this opportunity to increase their coverage. The proposed system would cost an estimated $16 - $18 million dollars to build, and this cost would be funded through low-interest loans available through the Federal Government. We are considering a financial arrangement in which these loans would be repaid by all OPALCO members through a monthly charge estimated at $5 to $10 per month. The operational costs of the system would be covered by a monthly internet service subscription fee similar to what we pay today. The input we received at the forums reflects the diversity of opinions in the islands. We heard tremendous support for the initiative, were asked to consider the needs of members who struggle to make ends meet and heard member concerns about potential health effects of wireless technology. We also heard from some local Internet Service Providers who were concerned about how this project might impact their jobs. We heard from members of our emergency services team, including Sheriff Nou, who made it clear that lives are at risk - and some have already been lost due to the many dead zones where cell phone or radio communication is nonexistent. We are listening to your feedback carefully, and want to encourage islanders who have thoughts or input to get in touch with us. We are continually working to understand and address the concerns of our fellow islanders as we proceed to investigate the technical and financial viability of this project. OPALCO is committed to operating transparently, doing what we can to accommodate the interests of our membership, and making sure that we act prudently. We are striving to design a system that would be an investment in our future: one that would serve our needs today, and could also evolve in the decades to come to meet our needs in a rapidly changing world. Ultimately, the decision on whether to move forward will depend on whether the OPALCO Board of Directors believes the initiative is in the long-term interests of the OPALCO membership. Again, thank you to everyone who participated in the forums, and if you didn’t participate, we encourage you to visit our website – www.opalco.com – to keep informed and give us your feedback.

LANCASTER FROM 1 “I have been actively engaged in county government for the past eight years,” Fralick said in a press release. “I now look forward to having the time and energy to pursue my many other interests. I thank my neighbors for giving me the opportunity to serve as their county council representative. It continues to be an honor.” Even though his term is coming to an end, he says “it does not mean that my job is done.” “Between now and the conclusion of my term I

will continue to work hard to development strong fiscal policies, including the funding of appropriate fund reserves and consolidation of services that will bring long term financial stability to county government,” Fralick said. “I will also continue to work with my colleagues on the council to conclude the Critical Areas Ordinance update, bringing the county closer to Growth Management Act compliance ... It is realistic to expect that a new Communication/ Wireless Ordinance will be passed, making improved emergency, broadband and wireless communication a possibility in San Juan County.”

Superior Court Judge Don Eaton won a second term by simply filling out paperwork and paying the candidate filing fee. Eaton is the only San Juan County official who is unopposed. Because he is unopposed in a non-partisan judicial election, Eaton will be declared the winner after the November election. His name will appear on both the primary and general election ballots. This is his first election after being appointed to the job in early 2010 after the death of his predecessor, John O. Linde. The filing fee represents 1 percent of the annual salary of the elected official. Also filing locally for election before the May 18 deadline were candidates for three county council positions. In council District 1 (San Juan South), incumbent Lovel Pratt is opposed by Bob Jarman. Two newcomers, Rick Hughes and Scott Lancaster, will compete to replace current District 4 (Orcas West) Councilman Richard Fralick, who is retiring from the council. District 3, representing Friday Harbor, will see a contest between veteran incumbent Howie Rosenfeld

Trio of county council races and Friday Harbor businessman Marc Forlenza. Because only two candidates filed for each position, after the primary, all six candidates will advance to the Nov. 6 general election. Forlenza announced his intention to run for the council in a May 16 written statement that said, “I am ready to take on the tasks that await a group of citizen leaders who want to contribute the energy and time demanded for an increasingly effective San Juan County governance.” Rosenfeld identified his “main concern” as getting the county through the transition of bringing on a new administrator and preparing the county to deal with the Charter Review Commission’s recommendations, if they pass. In other races, there will be primary elections for 40th District state Senator, and for U.S. Congressman from the 2nd Congressional District. Both races involve incumbents running for reelection and will not be resolved until the November general election. For the state senate position, first-term incumbent Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, will be challenged by John Swapp of Decatur Island and Jim Cozad of Bellingham.

The passage of Initiative 1183 that privatizes the sale of spirits will result in many new stores selling hard liquor. This change provides an opportunity to involve local

stores in reducing alcohol advertising and its availability to young people. Julie Pinardi, the advisor of the high school leadership and prevention group Point Blank, welcomed this opportunity. Point Blank participated in a nationwide program called “Let’s Draw the Line Between

In 2010, Swapp ran against state Rep. Jeff Morris, garnering 43 percent of the vote. In the race for Congress from the re-designed 2nd congressional district, six-term incumbent Rick Larsen faces five opponents. Republicans Dan Matthews of Everett, Eli Olsen of Marysville, and John C.W. Shoop of Conway have filed, as have Mike Lapointe of Everett and Glen S. Johnson of Mount Vernon. Matthews, the Republican establishment favorite, is expected to prevail in the primary and face Larsen in November. For the state House, first-term incumbent Kristine Lytton, D-Anacortes, is unopposed in Position 1. In Position 2, 16-year veteran Jeff Morris, D-Mount Vernon, is opposed by Howard Pellett of Anacortes, who identifies himself with the Green Party. If all these filings make you wonder how much it costs to run for public office, or about the salary for each office, the filing fee is 1 percent of the annual salary for the office. For the U.S. Senate, that amounts to a fee of $1,740. For governor, $1,668.91. For Superior Court, $1,488.32. For County Council, $337.19.

Youth and Alcohol.” The first step focuses on media literacy and understanding the role tobacco and alcohol marketing play in early use by youth. The next step is to conduct a Community Assessment of Neighborhood Stores. The group completed this step and compared it to the criteria necessary to be considered a “Retailer that Draw’s the Line Between Youth and Alcohol” store.

These stores were asked to limit their advertisements, choose appropriate ad placement, display alcohol appropriately, and prevent underage purchases and theft. Point Blank extends a huge thank you to Island Market, Orcas Village Store, Orcas Home Grown Market, Country Corner, and The Village Stop for participating in this project.

‘Depth of strength’ at Rose recognized by council rowing regionals by Marty Zier Sports contributor

Orcas Island Rowing prepared all year for this weekend. The culmination of all the sleepy, dark mornings before school, the freezing runs around Cascade Lake, the regattas, the workouts, the painful blisters and the endless training all have come together. Our group of 15 dedicated rowers ventured down to Vancouver Lake, Wash. to boldly challenge the best rowers at the USRowing Northwest Junior Regional Championships held May 18-20. Coaches Tina Brown, Dave Roseberry

and Martin Taylor displayed years of experience by masterfully managing 16 races, prepping launches, preparing rowers and final equipment tweaks to enhance the rower’s every advantage in the 2000 meter races. The expertise paid off with an overall strong performance from the entire team. Brown was impressed with the “depth of strength from such a young team, which will make next year that much more fun ... look out.” Brown and Captains Max Blackadar and Jake Zier now begin the hurried process of training for the U.S. Rowing Junior Nationals in Tennessee from June 8-10.

SJ man faces felony sex crimes Journal editor



A San Juan Island man accused of having sex with a teenage girl several times in the past two years will stand trial on multiple felony sex charges in July. On May 9, Kristian K. Sakstrup, 20, pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of second-degree rape of a child, a Class A felony, and to two counts of third degree rape, a Class B felony, and to violation of a sexual assault protection order. He was released on $5,000 bail pending a July 9 trial date. Prosecutors claim that Sakstrup was 18 when he first had sex with the girl in December 2009. She was 13 at that time. The two had been friends for several years and sexually involved before they

began a dating relationship a year ago in August, according to charging documents. The girl, now 16, reportedly informed a counselor in late March of this year that she had recently been sexually assaulted by Sakstrup. Authorities were alerted by the counselor about the series of alleged assaults. The age of consent for a minor in Washington state

is 16. A Class A felony, seconddegree rape of a child carries maximum penalties of life in prison, a $50,000 fine, or both; however, the standard range of sentencing set by the state for that felony offense is 67-89 months. Rape of a child in the third degree carries maximum penalties of five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.

Carol Boring, RN: “I like connecting with our patients’ needs.” When Carol Boring was on her first ferry ride to Orcas in 2006, she saw an Orcas Medical Center ad that read, “Wanted: Registered Nurse.” A few days later, she interviewed with Dr. Tony Giefer, accepted the RN job at OMC, and has been an Orcas Islander ever since. Carol grew up on a farm in Rockford, Iowa. After earning her nurse’s degree, she managed a successful career while raising four children, now grown, with husband and children’s book writer Mel Boring, who died in 2008.

“Here at OMC, I’ve drawn on every aspect of my past experience.” “All of my previous experience was in hospital settings,” said Carol, “including lots of time in emergency rooms. Here at OMC, I’ve drawn on every aspect of my past experience.” Carol has worked in hospital intensive-care and medical-surgical units, as well as outpatient specialty clinics. “On Orcas, there is such a diversity of reasons that people come to the clinic,” said Carol. “We have to be ready for so much more than a typical doctor’s office,” she added. “I like connecting with our patients’ needs. Meeting the people of the island is one of the most delightful parts of my job.” Orcas Medical Center is at 7 Deye Lane, next door to Orcas Center.

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.

The Butterfly Effect by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG

Editor/Publisher

hen you’re young and struggling with questions about sexuality, the future can seem dark and uncertain. Factor in taunting and bullying from classmates, and it gets even worse. Orcas Center is presenting “The Butterfly Effect,” an Orcas play inspired by a worldwide movement of anti-bullying video messages. It is adapted from local stories by Janet Brownell and directed by Jake Perrine. “It’s a direct response to the epidemic of gay teen suicides across the country,” Perrine said. “It is a message of hope from our gay island elders to our youth that it does get better after the awkward trials of high school. If the faith of even one person seeing the play is restored, or if one person reconsiders bullying someone else for

being different, we will have succeeded in our aspirations.” Using author and journalist Dan Savage’s “It Gets Better” project as a model, the play portrays a broad array of experiences from those who came out early to those who waited until their mid-60s to those who are bisexual. “Part of the commonality is that there is no ‘normal,’” Perrine said. “And when you see people as threedimensional, it’s harder to ostracize them. It’s ignorance that creates aggression.” The production, which is sponsored by a grant from the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender fund, will be shown on the OffCenter stage on June 1, 2, 3 at 7:30 pm. The play is rated PG-15 for its mature language and content. Younger theatregoers can attend with parental consent. Celebrity guests such as Senator Kevin Ranker and former Seattle

Some experiences alter our lives so dramatically that even years after the actual event has passed the images remain sharp in our memory. When a fellow classmate in high school killed himself, Amontaine Aurore could not shake the memory. Now many years later, she is performing a one-woman show “Free Desiree,” inspired by the events of her youth. “I knew I had a strong, good piece based on what happened to me,” she said. “It really affected me.” The show is coming to Orcas Center’s Off-Center Stage on Saturday, June 9, 8 p.m. In 2010, Aurore, who lives in Seattle, received a grant to create a new work of theater. She based one of the characters on herself and the other one on her sister Michell Marshall, of Orcas Island, who is portrayed as a

cheerleader plotting how to become the first pom-pom wielding Blaxploitation star. The main character Desiree is an outcast who learns to embrace her differences after the drummer in her high school band committees suicide and no one seems concerned. Although based on a dark event the show is infused with comedy, multiple characters and a lot of dancing true to 70’s style, like the locomotion and the funky chicken. “It takes a tremendous amount of energy to maintain the focus,” Aurore said. “There is a lot of physicality with several dances and six different characters.” Marshall said she is flattered to be included in the production even if it is an over-dramatization of her as a teen. “It’s charming, witty and funny,” said Marshall. “She is a tremendous writer and at the end she really pulls everything together.”

Jacqueline Kempfer Summer program at Orcas Artworks for island kids

Orcas Park and Rec and The Funhouse Commons have released a summer program schedule. There is sailing, ninja camp, soccer, tennis and more. For more information, go to www.funhousecommons.org/rec-programs/.

The Orcas Island Artworks features miniature landscapes in oil by Jacqueline Kempfer (pictured at right) through the month of June. A professional painter for more than 20 years, Kempfer has been developing her miniature painting techniques since 2008. She refers to these works as “little gems” reflecting the beauty of nature and local scenery on Orcas Island. The Artworks is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Planned Orcas and Shaw outage

OICF workshop on nonprofit financials Financial statements can be intimidating, yet they contain enormously valuable information. More importantly, they are used by external decision-makers who hold nonprofits’ financial well-being in their hands. “Financial Statements – Efficient Review Practices for Board Members” will be held on Friday, June 8 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Eastsound Fire Hall. The participation fee is $25 per organization. Workshop facilitator is Erin Welch, CPA, a financial statement auditor and consultant, working with not-for-profits to prepare financial statements that accurately and effectively communicate to external audiences. This training is underwritten by the “Capacity Building” grant received by Orcas Island Community Foundation from

Philanthropy Northwest. Welch will have five halfhour timeslots available for individual non-profits in the afternoon. These will be filled on a first come first served basis. Contact Kate or Hilary at OICF at 376-6423 to reserve a space.

All of Shaw Island and the west side of Orcas Island (Deer Harbor, Orcas Village, Eastsound and everything to the west of Youngren’s Pond) will experience a planned power outage on Saturday, June 2 beginning at 5 a.m. and ending by 5:30 a.m. This outage is projected to last only 30 seconds and is necessary to upgrade a piece of equipment that will improve system reliability. OPALCO members are responsible for their own equipment and OPALCO encourages all members to install surge protection to safeguard electronic, computer and other sensitive equipment and appliances.

Preparing for tsunami debris

As coastal Washington anticipates the arrival of debris from the 2011 Japanese tsunami, islanders are left with questions and concerns. An upcoming lecture led by oceanographer Dr. Jan Newton will address some of those questions. It will be held Saturday, June 2, 4-5:30 p.m. at the Orcas Senior Center.
