Eastsound trash can project gets a boost by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher
With grant money on the horizon, setting up trash cans for Eastsound is one step closer to fruition. “Everyone wants to make the right decisions, so it may be slow going,” said Orcas Chamber Director Lance Evans. “I think it’s long overdue for Eastsound and our visitors. I am excited about it – as excited as one can be about garbage and recycling.” The San Juan County Lodging Tax grant program designated $8,000 to pay for the initial cost of purchasing six cans. The county council has the authority to
change that amount; it looks at the lodging tax committee recommendations in June. “It’s not a done deal,” Evans said. “Until the county signs off, we can’t go ahead and plan on it.” The grants are funded by a portion of the revenue collected under the state lodging tax. Around $350,000 in grant funds will be dispersed in early 2013. The chamber, which is sponsoring the initiative, hopes to have a few of the garbage and recycling cans put up by mid-summer, as San Juan Sanitation has already pledged $1,000 towards the con-

Lopez submits solid waste plan County deputy director resigns Late last month, the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District Advisory Board submitted a draft operations plan to the San Juan County Council for a locally operated solid waste and recycling operation. The plan outlines the services to be offered at the current county drop box facility on Fisherman Bay Road when the council proceeds with establishing a Lopez Island Solid Waste Disposal District. The document addresses personnel and equipment needs, markets for recyclables, logistical and site plans, environmental issues, and legal requirements. The plan also includes a draft facilities lease and agreement with the county and a cash flow model. Neil Hanson, operations manager at the county site, helped shape many elements of the plan. According to the plan, the island’s beloved Take-It-Or-Leave-It facility, where usable household items and clothing find new homes for no charge, will remain in place and other recycling services, such as electronic waste, could be added as finances permit. Solid Waste Alternatives Project, the nonprofit membership organization spearheading the drive to create a LSWDD, would continue in a support role to raise funds to supplement the district budget, promote district activities, and coordinate volunteers. On May 15, Lopez Islanders turned in 1478 signatures in support of establishing the LSWDD. County Auditor Milene Henley certified 962 valid signatures, representing 51.9 percent of currently registered voters on Lopez, easily surpassing the 550 signatures Council Chairwoman Patty Miller requested as a demonstration of support.
David Kelly has announced his resignation as San Juan County’s Deputy Director of Administration effective June 29. Kelly, who joined the county’s staff in July of 2010, is leaving to become City Administrator of Selah in Yakima County. Kelly was a major player in the county’s budgeting process and he was instrumental in negotiating an employee medical insurance contract that avoided a budget-busting 22 percent increase in rates that could have require budget cuts equivalent to the lay-off of seven county employees. In his letter of resignation to County Administrator Pete Rose, Kelly thanked Rose for the opportunity to work with him and concluded by offering his “best wishes to you, the county council and all of the people of San Juan County who have made me and my family feel welcome in this community.” Steve Horn/contributed photo

Supporters celebrated the conclusion of the petition drive with a potluck at the Lopez Take-It-Or-Leave It/Drop Box facility, complete with live music, banners, and floral tributes. If the council approves the LSWDD, Lopez voters will need to endorse a property tax measure on the November ballot to provide partial funding of the solid waste operation, supplementing revenue from disposal fees. The members of the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District Advisory Board are Sandy Bishop, Bruce Creps, Larry Eppenbach, Dan Post and Page Read.
Help decide the future of Moran State Park Strategic planning is underway for Washington State Park and Recreation Commission. The governor has stated that Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission must have a financial plan
in place by Aug. 1 for state parks. WSPRC is seeking public input on the three possible alternatives: should parks be operated as a nonprofit; treated as an asset with reduced services; or, as a business enterprise.

In accepting Kelly’s resignation, Rose noted that the detailed and flexible budget forecast model Kelly created will serve the county for years to come. Rose is also in his final days with San Juan County, having announced his resignation May 1 to become City Administrator of Lake Forest Park in King County. His final day on the job is June 8. The council has selected veteran government manager Robert Jean to act as administrator until a permanent administrator is hired. The council has decided not to seek a candidate for the permanent position until after the November general election. Charter Review Commission proposals on the November ballot could reshape the county’s government and the administrator’s job description. No decision has been made concerning Kelly’s replacement.

iterature. It’s one of the beautiful things that separate humans from the rest of the animal kingdom. Literature is also an escape. Curling up on a couch, we read stories of adventure or love and drift away into the pages of another realm. Roald Dahl immortalized the importance of books in “Matilda,” when he wrote “[her] strong young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all those authors who had sent their books out into the world like ships on the sea. These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: You are not alone.” And if that’s not enough to get you to the library, according to the National Assessment of Adult Literacy, books make more successful people. Two-thirds of students who cannot read proficiently by the end of the fourth grade will end up in jail or on welfare. According to the Department of Justice, “the link between academic failure and delinquency, violence, and crime is welded to reading failure.” Over 70 percent of inmates in America’s prisons cannot read above a fourth grade level. And the facts get more dismal. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, only 53 percent of children ages three to five were read to daily by a family member. The estimated cost of illiteracy to taxpayers and businesses is $20 billion per year. Seventy five percent of Fortune 500 companies provide some level of remedial training for an estimated 8 million workers at an estimated cost of $300 million per year, according to Laubach Literacy Action. Thirty four million adults function at below basic literacy levels, meaning they are unable to complete simple literacy tasks such as filling out a job application or a deposit slip or reading a prescription label, according to the National Assessment of Adult Literacy. In our community, there is hope for literacy. The literacy alignment project for pre-school to third graders, led by Dave Matteson, is happening at Orcas Island School District with the help of several passionate islanders. This project is a national movement to develop the cognitive and social skills for children that establish strong foundations for future learning. And when reading thrives, that is where the magic of the castaway “Robinson Crusoe,” Aladdin’s lamp of “One Thousand and One Nights,” and the Sneetches of Dr. Suess will live forever.

Magnificent mushroom workshop A special thanks to Kyler Townsend, Learner Limbach, and Food Masters for a wonderful mycology seminar this past weekend at the Liberty Garden in Eastsound. Not only was it fun to learn propagation methods for the oyster and shiitake strands of mushrooms, but I found the myco-remediation information session to be fascinating (a process where mushroom strands are introduced to eat the “bad” stuff out of the soil; even oil and antifreeze, for pennies on the dollar). The Eastsound community has recently built the wastewater management area behind the village green that deals with roughly 70 percent of runoff and the remaining 30 percent remains an unresolved question to which I believe I have now seen the answer. Many in our community seek to have our county lead the way in green methods of living and therefore I think that we should put some strong consideration towards enacting some of these simple and cost effective methods in our roadside ditches and runoff. Mr. Townsend has shown himself to be a knowledgeable, passionate, and willing resource towards making some progressive change and we would be very wise to embrace his expertise.

Whitley, Ed Zimmerman and nonlion Jen Bentley. Thanks guys. We couldn’t have done it without you. A special thanks to the Northwest Lions Foundation for Sight and Hearing for sponsoring the “Van.” The Screening Unit crew, Mike and Pat Parker, who travel all over Washington and western Idaho and made this event possible. I would like to convey my thanks to the Sounder for getting the message out about our event. If the community doesn’t find out about us, all our efforts are in vain. Last, but most important, I would like to thank the community who participated in the event. One hundred and fifty two islanders, including eight children, turned out and made our efforts worthwhile. For those of you who discovered potential health problems, I hope you follow-up with the appropriate care. If we can help just one person prevent an emergency or improve their health status, it was all worth the effort. If you missed this year’s screening, look for us next year!

Unfair claim that Republicans are antienvironment I understand how David Dehlendorf feels when he expresses his frustration at being misrepresented as I felt misrepresented by his letter (“Do you want America to fail,” letters, May 22, 2012).

In 2009 the Journal announced Mr. Dehlendorf was their Citizen of the Year for his anti-litter initiative. Anybody who goes through the trouble of organizing such a large cleanup project deserves respect, no matter our differences. Let me say, though, that I do find the attempt to turn a voluntary anti-litter initiative into a political issue to be aggravating. I am quite confident that many, many Republicans turned out to help. Candidate Dan Matthews himself is a founding member of the Cousteau Society and a member of the Nature Conservancy. We like clean air and clean water as much as anybody. It is fair to say, though, that we do dislike Byzantine regulatory regimes designed to deter without actually deciding, that we believe in property rights, and that we reject the excesses of some environmental measures. Our opponent Rick Larsen (D), for instance, declined to limit regulation of farm dust – i.e. regular dust (see HR 1633, 12/8/11). If it was, say, radioactive matter produced from uranium mining, great! But dust? Couldn’t local governments manage farm dust if there was a problem? We also dislike the distortions an excess of zeal can create: in Washington, for instance, the

Mayoral campaign is underway I was so excited to see the “Pet Parade” on Saturday, May 26 that I nearly slipped my leash! It was howling fun to see all the different kinds of pets. But the most amazing thing was getting an up-close look at the candidates for mayor. I know Children’s House has organized this fundraising campaign for a number of years, but this was the first time I was able to attend and

The cost of garbage pick-up for one year is around $6,500, an amount that has not yet been raised. Ray’s Pharmacy owner Rick Hughes and fellow local business owner Jeff Hanson of Pawki’s have been the driving forces behind the project. They were spurred on by the efforts of Salmonberry Elementary School students, who picked up litter in Eastsound but couldn’t find public trash receptacles. They decided to learn about the cost of solid waste pickup and formed an organization called “Kids for the Environment through Litter Prevention.” In partnership with members of the Eastsound Planning Review Committee, these young activists offered to raise the funds for one week of garbage collection for six new cans in Eastsound. Volunteers for the project also worked with San Juan County so designated busi-

actually get a chance to sniff each candidate. There are some special pets running this year, including Sir Clarence the “peacock,” Mofo the “rooster,” Caprica the “pygmy goat,” Mr. Antiquus, a kinda “bison” and even The Biped, who I like to refer to as “dog’s best friend.” (I’m not sure whose pet he is, but good luck fella!) I already voted on Saturday. I took $5 from my “doggie” bank and voted for each candidate. Once I hear more about what they’ll do as mayor, I’ll decide who to officially support. Meanwhile, I want to encourage all of my buddies to get out and vote. Each vote is a $1, but you can vote as many times as you want. All votes benefit the kids of Children’s House (who incidentally love to pet me.) So, get out there and vote – vote – vote! Maybe next year I’ll throw my own doggie bone into the race!

Harle designed a steel unit that will hold the 33-gallon garbage and recycling containers. The requirements were that it had to last for 20 plus years, have an angled roof, have small holes for disposal so people couldn’t fit home garbage in, and be heavy enough that it couldn’t be stolen. The metal sides were designed so that nonprofits can put up promotions. “We are willing to look

TOWN HALL FROM 1 On Lopez, 954 residents have signed a petition supporting a ballot measure that would fund a Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District. On San Juan Island, the council is in discussion with the Town of Friday Harbor. See full story on page 3. As for the CAO update, Miller encouraged islanders to weigh in on issues still up for debate at upcoming public hearings (see sidebar). “It’s not a done deal,” she said. By the end of September, the council hopes to be putting the update into law. “There are repercussions of not complying with state law,” Miller said. Should Governor Christine Gregoire tire of waiting for San Juan County to complete its long-overdue update (the updating process began in 2003 with an original deadline for completion in 2005), disciplinary procedures could include a complete moratorium on building permits and the withholding of all state roads funding. While Miller fully expects the final product to be challenged in court, she hopes the county’s update will stand up to the test. Attendee Leaf Templin said that in 2002, when the CAO update requirement first surfaced, Friday Harbor quickly reviewed its CAO and submitted it without a challenge.
CAO Feedback Fish & Wildlife ordinance July 9: council field trip July 10: public comment Wetlands ordinance June 4: on the council agenda July 23-24: on the council agenda Wetlands & Fish and Wildlife ordinances Aug. 21, 28: hearings Miller responded that Skagit County’s plan also passed unchallenged into law, but when Whatcom County followed suit with an identical update, the plan was challenged by someone and overturned by the Growth Hearings Board. “That is the nature of this law,” Miller said. Auditor Milene Henley reported on her recent county data that suggests the construction industry may be getting stronger while real estate remains depressed. Sales tax appears to be up 9.5 percent from last year’s numbers, and construction is still making up 9 percent less of county sales tax than it did in 2008. She sounded cautiously optimistic, saying, “Maybe we’ve actually bottomed out and will start going up.”

Learning what it’s like to fly a plane is an opportunity that few would pass up. Every year the Experimental Aircraft Association on Orcas provides young people a chance to take to the skies with an experienced local pilot, as part of the Young Eagles Program developed to interest more young people in flying. “I know that we have influenced young people’s lives because I get letters from those I have taken on a Young Eagles flight,” local EAA organizer Beverly
Franklet said. A pilot for more than 18 years, Franklet is one of about six local pilots who donate their time to taking between 40 and 75 participants up in their personal planes each year. The rides will be conducted between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 9, and those interested should come to the Port of Orcas Biplane Hangar. For those who fly with Franklet, they will be in her 180 horsepower Cessna 172 and the experience is free of

SJPT buys 687-acre farm The San Juan Preservation Trust has acquired the 687acre Red Mill Farm on San Juan Island, the largest working farm in the San Juan archipelago. Red Mill Farm is located in the fertile agricultural lands of San Juan Valley. The property was purchased in the 1960’s by Dodie Gann and her late husband, the author Ernest Gann. After
donating a 40-acre parcel to the San Juan Preservation Trust in 1980 (the first land transaction in the organization’s 33-year history), the Ganns donated a conservation easement on their Red Mill Farm property in 1991 that restricted future development to 13 home sites. The couple’s long commitment to land conservation was spurred to action
as they saw important farmland in the valley being carved into small residential parcels. “If you watch it being destroyed, you get protective,” Dodie said. When Ernie Gann died in 1991, the property’s ownership was divided in two, with one-half interest going to Dodie Gann and the other half-interest going
Page 7
into a trust that benefited Ernie’s family from a previous marriage. In a series of transactions that concluded on May 18, Dodie Gann donated her half-interest in the property to the San Juan Preservation Trust, which then purchased the other half-interest from the beneficiaries of Ernie’s trust for $1 million. “After years of worrying about the future of our farm, it feels like a heavy weight has been lifted from my shoulders,” said Dodie. While this represents a
significant investment in the future of local food production in the San Juan Islands, there will be no changes in the foreseeable future. Dodie Gann has retained a life estate that allows her to live on the property through her lifetime, and Greg Black, who currently manages Red Mill Farm and its cattle operation, will continue in his current role for as long as he wishes. The Preservation Trust will assume the responsibility for paying property taxes, which will remain
unchanged. The trust now owns approximately 825 acres in San Juan Valley.

A race to change lives, end abuse by CALI BAGBY
Men, women and children gather at the starting line ready to run a 5K and show their support for a nonprofit that aims to end domestic violence and sexual assault. “It creates awareness and the run is a metaphor for how we can make a ‘movement,’ how we can challenge abuse and change lives,” said Anita Castle, director of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services.
The Fourth Annual DVSAS 5K Run and Walk is Saturday, June 9, registration begins at 8 a.m. and the race commences at 9 a.m. at Orcas High School. The race is one large loop around town, down North Beach Road and finishes at the school. The course is relatively flat and on paved roads or gravel trails. Awards will be given to the top three female and male finishers and top finishers in eight different age

categories. “There is an empowerment element to the race – people feel good when they are taking part of something that is bigger than themselves and involves something worthy,” Castle said. “You’re moving, running for a special cause, which is very important.” The 5K helps to raise funds and raises awareness for the community and how others can be a part of stopping sexual and domestic assault. Castle said there are still people on the islands that would like to believe that sexual assault does not happen, but its important for everyone to acknowledge abuse happens and that there is hope to end that cycle. The motto of the race, “be the solution,” is a phrase borrowed from Sexual Assault Awareness month and asks people to not be bystanders and to actively promote change in society. Registration fees are $15 for 19-year-olds and older, $10 for 18-year-olds and under and $20 for T-shirts. For info, call 376-5979.

Vikings lose bid at state despite a hard-fought battle
Chris Gill/WestBoundary Photography
Viking Huxley Smart (3) stealing second base during the state softball play-offs. by MARTY ZIER
Coach Scott Harris offered a big thank you on behalf of the Lady Vikings to the Orcas community for raising $2,000 in two days, enabling the Vikings to compete in the state softball playoffs in Yakima, Wash. on May 26. Harris said there are four important factors you need to succeed in the state playoffs: the skills your team has, the draw you get, the experience you bring and luck. Harris was confident in the skills of his young team, but when matched against the heavily favored Napavine Tigers in the first of two games, Harris knew having only one out of four factors meant a “big challenge.” Harris was right, as the Vikings lost both games against the Tigers and the
Brewster Bears. The underdog Vikings initially fought hard against the Tigers, keeping the score manageable by the end of the third inning 6-0, but the Vikings’ youth and inexperience was eventually exposed against what Harris called “the strongest team we had met this year.” The onslaught of hard Tiger hits triggered eight Viking fielding errors in the fourth inning, helping the Tigers score six runs, stretching the score to 12-0. The ten run rule was applied in the fifth inning, ending the game 21-0. Freshly bruised with playoff experience, the Vikings faced the Brewster Bears in game two. Stumbling in the first inning with three fielding errors, the Vikings gave up three runs to the
hard hitting Bears, leaving Orcas behind 3-0. Poised and adjusting to the speed of power teams, the Vikings began to play better and scored their first runs of the playoffs in the fifth inning. On base due to a walk, Bella Nigretto scored on an Aliviah Garcia’s double followed by an RBI single by Kirsten Fowler, scoring the second Viking run of the day. In the sixth inning, Alicia Jo Susol singled with Huxley Smart pinch running and eventually stealing third base. A Nigretto RBI double brought home Smart for the Vikings’ third and final run of the day. The Vikings lost 9-3 in seven innings. Harris was proud of his young team’s performance. He said this was one of the most talented state tournaments he has seen in years.

Paving the road to literacy one child at a time by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter
Kari Schuh wears many hats. Her latest one has been helping to improve literacy for island children. Schuh’s interest in developing young readers came to her via the literacy alignment project for pre-school to third graders, led by Dave Matteson, author and educator. The project is a national movement to develop the cognitive and social skills for children that establish strong foundations for future learning. The program focuses on leadership, instruction, community partnerships and family engagement. Use of language and knowledge of “literacy” when entering kindergarten is critical to a student’s ability to become a fluent reader and writer by third grade, according to the Northwest Educational Service District’s website. “I was wanting to drink the David Matteson ‘kool-aid,’” said Schuh, who is also the special education director at the Orcas Island School District. “He was booked all of last year, but in October there was a potential for us to sign on.” The next step was funding.

Gracious hosts the Delta Music Makers have invited the Orcas band to return. This year, eager band members on both sides of the border will get their wish. Conductor Joe Babcock will lead about 40 Orcasites of all ages in a program of American and European marches, dances and band favorites. Local audiences will have heard a preview at the band’s spring concert on June. Both the spring concert and the Ladner BandFest are free and open to the public.

‘Monster hit’ comes to Orcas The encore screening of the National Theatre’s “Frankenstein” comes to Orcas Center on Friday, June 8 at 7:30 p.m. This new play by Nick Dear is based on the novel by Mary Shelley. Oscar-winner Danny Boyle (“127 Hours,” “Slumdog Millionaire”) returned to the theatre to direct this visionary production with Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller. Both stars were nominated together for an Olivier Award, Best Actor in a Play, a shared nomination. Both actors alternate in the roles of Dr. Frankenstein and his creation, the monster Creature. The 16-week run of the production at the National Theatre was entirely sold out and performances played to more than 100,000 people in cinemas worldwide. The feedback was unprecedented.
