Joys of fatherhood
Ferry reservation system not a done deal
An island dad shares his story in honor of Father’s Day on Sunday, June 17 by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher
When Ginger Haug screams, the whole world knows. “I usually have in ear plugs,” laughs her good-natured father James, who takes the perils of parenting all in stride. James and his wife Jessica are raising their two young girls on Orcas: four-year-old Wylie and 17-month-old Ginger. James says he has changed a lot since becoming a dad. “When you have kids, you’re taking part of yourself and putting it out there – and hoping it doesn’t get hit by a car,” he said. James describes Wylie as funny and friendly and Ginger as tough. Both girls are athletic and accepting of other people, traits that James says he shares with them. Although he works full time as a general contractor, James is often seen walking the streets of Eastsound with his girls. Jessica is a massage therapist at the Healing Arts Center and a volunteer EMT. James grew up with four brothers and two sisters, but the Haugs are ready to stop adding to their family because “two is a lot!” according to James. Prior to becoming a father, he thought very little about
child development and education. Since he welcomed his two daughters into the world, James tried reading books about raising girls, but found them to be “bologne,” as they didn’t accurately describe his daughters. So he has learned by experience. “I wasn’t confident as a kid, even though I was successful in athletics,” James said. “Giving confidence to my kids is really important … failure is part of success. You have to let them do what they want to do and not let them get hurt too badly.” James grew up thinking that he had to what was expected of him. “I don’t want my children to be afraid to live the way they want to,” he said. James and Jessica have found it’s important to make time for each other. Now that both girls are older, they feel more comfortable to go out in the evenings and take long weekends. Some of his advice to new dads: give your kids space and cultivate your own interests. “You have to be happy too,” he said. “We all have our own dreams.”
Study on soap safety by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter

products are the most harmful to be more informed about choices.” Skolfield, a Reed College student and summer intern in toxicology at the Lopez-based nonprofit laboratory Kwiaht, will test more than 50 popular body care products sold in the islands and

According to the federal Food and Drug Administration website, cosmetics including moisturizers, perfumes, shampoos, toothpastes and deodorant must be tested for safety for consumers, but Kwiaht Director Russel Barsh says manufacturers are not required to test the impacts of releasing these products into the environment. According to Alan Bennett, FDA public affairs specialist, there are “no general rules, but if there is an environmental issue it could be included in a regulation.” There are plenty of tests to protect humans like ecological toxicity eye irritation tests, said Skofield, but human skin is a lot different than gills or the shell of a crustacean. “Many [soaps] contain emulsifiers, fragrances and colorants

In the event that a reservation system proves to be a poor fit for the San Juan Islands, Washington State Ferries is prepared to drop the idea. So says the ferry system’s Assistant Secretary David Moseley, who last week pledged at a series of community meetings that WSF would abandoned its quest to establish a reservation system in the San Juans if the logistical hurdles are too high, or if the community can’t get onboard. “If we can’t work out the issues that come up as we try to develop a set of business rules then we’re not going to do this,” he said. “Washington State Ferries has no interest in losing ridership with a reservation system.” Reservation system or not, ridership has been on the decline systemwide over the past decade. In 2011, the ferry system carried 22.2 million riders across all routes, roughly 2.8 million fewer than in 2002, and four million fewer than in its peak year, 1999. While the

A surprise ceremony was held at Orcas Island School on June 4 to dedicate the Elementary Music Room to Marilyn Anderson. It was also a time to unveil a plaque in her honor that now resides on the wall of the music room. Anderson is one of the founding members of the Music Advocacy Group, which supports Orcas Island School District’s music program. She also committed to raise $100,000 for the elementary rehabilitation project, saving the taxpayers from that financial burden. Colleen Smith Armstrong/staff photo

Willy and Smokey Joe were the ultimate greeters. They purred, they pawed, they showed their bellies. For the past three months, Islanders Bank sponsored a “cat of the day” from the Orcas Animal Shelter. Willy and Smokey Joe – who has since been adopted – were the staff favorites. “What a great way for a nonprofit and a local business to help each other. It’s great because of the exposure that is gives – to both entities,” said shelter director Marsha Waunch. “Any businesses that has an animal, people respond to them well.” The Orcas Branch of Islanders Bank recently decided to get back into volunteer work, first working with the food bank. “It was a huge success and has resulted in employees continuing to provide volunteer work at their establishment,” said Dyan Holmes, assistant vice president of the bank. “When our partnership with the food bank ended, we pulled together some more names of nonprofits and took a vote. We are an animal friendly bank and all the employees adore them.”

Islanders are holding a benefit for former Orcas resident Peter Rutledge, who was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in 2011. The auction will be held at Rosario Resort and Spa in the Beach House (formerly known as the Discovery House) on Thursday, July 5 from 6 to 9 p.m. All of the proceeds from the silent and live auction go to the Rutledge family. Auction items include numerous local gift certificates, a home rental for a week in Kauai, summer camp at Orkila and Colman, meals at Seattle restaurants, Sounder/ Mariner tickets and more. To donate, contact Elisa Wiscomb at ewiscomb@hotmail. com. Tickets are $15 per person, on sale at Darvill’s, The Lower Tavern and Island Hardware. Hors d’ oeuvres included with purchase of ticket. No host bar. Rutledge is a 1997 graduate of Orcas High School. Both he and his younger sister, Laine, attended Orcas Public Schools where their mother, Kathi, taught for many years. Peter was an all-state player in both football and basketball. He was also co-valedictorian his graduating year. Peter earned his bachelor’s degree from Whitman College in Walla Walla, and then spent two years in AmeriCorps, working in Petersburg, Fla. It was there he met a first

grade teacher, Cari Carter, who became his wife and mother of their two children, Tyson, age two, and Luke, age six months. Peter then went on to graduate school at UC Berkeley. Peter was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in early 2011, and he received radiation therapy that was intended to halt the growth of the tumor. In December of 2011, two weeks after his second son was born, he suffered a hemorrhage of the tumor and was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. The brain injury that has resulted from the hemorrhage has cost him the use of his right side and he has difficulty with his speech. He is experiencing a long road of rehabilitation. Despite the catastrophic effect of the brain tumor, Peter remains optimistic and focused on his recovery.

The Butterfly Effect I would like to thank the Orcas Center and everyone involved for the opportunity to attend the “Butterfly Effect.” Orcas Center graciously reserved a number of tickets to allow a group of teens from the Funhouse Commons to attend. I would like to thank director Jake Perrine and the production’s entire cast for putting together a great performance that tackled and educated us on the epidemic of bullying, mistreatment and misunderstanding of the gay community. What made the performance powerful was that the stories were from local people. All of the actors were passionate about portraying their given roles and used them to speak to our community. The teens from the Funhouse left the play both moved and educated about the epidemic of bullying in general. Several of the students in attendance said afterwards that the play has motivated them to get involved in the community in the fight against bullying. Merrick Parnell Teen Night Supervisor The Funhouse Commons It was a privilege to be in the audience for “The Butterfly Effect” at Orcas Center. This was a community collaboration that dealt beautifully with extremely important topics: the harmful effects of bullying, ostracism, and ignorance toward our human differences, and the hope for tolerance and compassion. The play is based upon the personal stories of our lesbian, gay, and bisexual neighbors. We feel a sense of indebtedness to each for their courage. Janet Brownell, scriptwriter, and Jake Perrine, director, with tremendous talent and skill, created a dramatic play that presented these stories in a form that helped all of us to understand and to be touched by the individual feelings and experiences of each person, with honesty and without sentimentality. The direction, set design, light-

ing, and sound were imaginative and highly effective. The strong ensemble of local actors brought sensitivity and skill to each role. We thank Orcas Center director Kara O’Toole and producer Deborah Sparks for their vision to present “The Butterfly Effect.” We also thank the Orcas Island Education Foundation and Orcas Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Fund for the money to make it possible. As you read in The Islands’ Sounder of May 31, “In chaos theory, ‘the butterfly effect’ is where a small change in one place can result in a larger difference somewhere else. That’s the goal of the play: to educate and inform, resulting in a minor shift with larger implications.” Not only did this production succeed in educating and informing the audience, it was an outstanding and moving theatrical success as well. To further “The Butterfly Effect,” should anyone have missed attending the play, scripts are available for you to read at the Orcas Public Library and at the Orcas Public School Library.

More than just a dirty business SSA Marine in conjunction with Peabody Coal is planning to build a coal terminal at Cherry Point in order to ship 54 metric tons of coal from Wyoming through the Columbia Gorge scenic area, and up the coast of Washington where it will then be shipped to China. At Cherry Point, a wetland of over 162 acres would be filled in to hold the coal waiting to be shipped. People living all along the train route will be impacted as well as rivers, wetlands, streams and soil. The wide-ranging health dangers of coal dust include exposure to toxic heavy metals, such as lead, selenium and mercury. Coal dust leads to increased asthma, wheezing and coughing in children. Toxic pollution from diesel exhaust is linked to stunted lung development, increased probability
FERRIES FROM 1 drop has been less dramatic on San Juan routes, which consistently carry about 1.7 million riders a year, long lines and long wait times are not uncommon, particularly on summer holidays and weekends. Moseley said that since WSF lacks the financial clout to increase the size of its fleet by building more boats – new boats are intended to replace older vessels slated for retirement – a reservation system is expected to help manage growth over the next 20 years by encouraging riders to travel at times when the demand is lighter. “We have plenty of room for passengers,” he said. “Our constraint, particularly during peak hours, is on our car deck.” While skepticism may run deep, Moseley, now in his fourth year at the helm of the nation’s largest ferry system, believes that even the most hardened critics might be willing to give res-
of heart attacks, lung cancer, worsening asthma and infant mortality. According to BNSF’s website, these 15,000-ton trains will lose three percent of their load in transit or 1,780,000 short tons of coal dust spread annually from the Powder River Basin to the terminal. Besides breathing coal dust, there will be the added hazard of diesel fuel exhaust from the 40 trains daily. Go to RESources.org or Power Past Coal for more information. The decision will be made in the next few months and great deal is at stake. Burning coal is one of the prime contributors to global warming and air pollution. Coal is a dirty business.

Students’ spring concert a success I would like to thank all the students who participated in this year’s Spring Concert last Thursday evening and all the wonderful people that make this opportunity possible for our kids. Just watching Ken Speck alone helping pack up the music equipment after ervations a try, after all sides are able to sit down together for an open, honest and constructive “conversation” about obstacles and about solutions. That’s mostly because, Moseley said, he’s seen it happen before. “I’ve seen twice now where people who did not think this could possibly work change their point of view based on the business rules we were able to develop and put in place,” Moseley said.
Changes start with summer schedule Though not starting completely from scratch, WSF will embark on a new era of reservations through an expansion and enhancement of its current system, beginning with the switchover to its summer sailing schedule on June 17. Those traveling on the Coupeville/ Port Townsend route and on the international run, Anacortes to Sidney, B.C., will be able to reserve space online – starting June 13

Calling all fur and feather beasts Have you seen the list of candidates running in the race for Mayor of Eastsound? There are two candidates that should make us all nervous. One is a non-living stuffed shirt and is simply a power puppet for those hysterical historical humans. The other is The Biped – now who is zoomin’ who here? The Biped is nothing more than a human and we all know what they have done to our once beautiful world. We, the island beasts, must take action. Herd your humans down the right path. Tell them to vote early – on any summer sailing through WSF’s website and its “Save a Spot” reservation function. In addition, Ferries also revamped its system of reservations long used by commercial customers in the San Juans. Pat McKay of Island Concrete, which often makes four to eight reservations a day, depending on the season, believes the changes will prove beneficial if they work as touted. Not only will the company be able to directly alter its reservations online, eliminating the need to rely on fax machines and WSF staff, it no longer will be required to pay $500 a year to have access to commercial reservations with each change of the sailing schedule. “The biggest thing I can see is we’ll be able to modify our reservations online instead of having to fill out paperwork and then fax it to them,” McKay said. “It’s a new system so there’s bound to be some bugs in it, but we’re hoping for the best.”

Volunteer at the Olga cemetery The last private cemetery on Orcas Island, the Olga Cemetery, was donated to the community by William Moore, first white settler on eastern Orcas Island, and his native wife, Sarah. The cemetery was platted by Richard Willis, another early homesteader, and saw its first interment in 1894. Since those early days of pioneer life, the Olga Cemetery has maintained a proud tradition of local, volunteer labor helping in times of need. Expanded, and now the Olga-Doe Bay Cemetery, shared with our neighbors in the Doe Bay community, the cemetery treasures the tradition of opening and closing graves by hand labor. Shunning machines and mechanical equipment, local community members faithfully come out to dig each grave, shovels and picks in hand. Often many show up, sometimes only

a few- but a proper burial place, well-prepared for the sad ceremony, is always ready on time. A volunteer committee manages the cemetery. The Sexton, Judy Slater, is responsible for legal graves registration, placement, and public relations, while the other members work on maintenance, repair, and improvements. Mowing, weedwhacking, and sweeping headstones is time-consuming work, and volunteers are eagerly welcomed. Larger projects are envisioned, but await the necessary funds and manpower. Annual expenditures maintaining the cemetery vary, but are purposely kept at a minimum. There is no annual budget, and the annual income from the few fees and donations we receive is scarcely predict-
able. We use paid mowing services when necessary, but prefer volunteer help when it is available. Whether you simply enjoy being out in the sunshine in a beautiful, scenic spot or you eagerly look forward to a rewarding workout with a mower or broom, the OlgaDoe Bay Cemetery just might be the place for you! Visit, help out, donate – whichever it is, we’ll appreciate it. Your assistance will help us continue to care for those who’ve gone before us, in the right way, and help keep the traditions of the past alive at the OlgaDoe Bay Cemetery.

Soap FROM 1 that can be harmful to fish,” Barsh said. “Few have been independently tested.” There are many types of emulsifiers, everything from eggs to wax to chemicals. The problem with soap, according to Barsh, is that certain ingredients can damage cell membranes and interfere with animals’ signaling systems. Washing soap down the drain is not his biggest concern, although large quantities of soap can kill the bacteria in a septic system, causing it to stop working and allowing soaps to pass through the system unchanged. Because a majority of islanders live a short distance from wetlands and shorelines, the Kwiaht study aims to help consumers as they search the store shelves for environmentally friendly soaps and cosmetics. “They have little to guide them except manufacturers’ claims,” Barsh said. “State and federal law do not require that all of the ingredients in personal care products be tested or dis-
closed.” Even plant extracts such as chamomile and cloves, which have the appeal of being “healthy, or at least harmless” can be dangerous. According to Barsh, “essential oils” and “natural” fragrances are often defenses that plants evolved to kill chewing and sucking insects. They also can kill the tiny aquatic animals that fish rely on for food. Lead, cyanide and strychnine are all “natural,” but also toxic. “Plants have been battling animals for millions years and have some potent chemicals,” Skolfield said. Barsh is also concerned that labels are misleading – advertising “no sodium lauryl sulfate,” but listing “sodium laureth sulfate” among their ingredients. These two compounds are closely related chemically and have the same negative effects on aquatic organisms, according to Barsh. “Surfactants [chemicals that break down dirt and make it easier to wash away] derived from coconut oil sound safe, but can include sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sul-

fate,” said Barsh, who has come to the conclusion that many products are unsafe after exposing daphnia, a tiny freshwater crustacean, to small concentrations of products over time, causing them to die or become immobile. Daphnia can be found in the islands’ healthier wetlands and ponds in the spring, where they are eaten by frogs, newts, and aquatic insects. Surfactants have also been found as problematic for humans. Some chemicals like 1,4-dioxane, which causes carcinomas in mice and mesotheliomas in rats according to the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer, are a byproduct of the manufacturing process used to create other ingredients of primary importance, like surfactants. Barsh suggests that consumers avoid soaps with a lot of fragrances and essential oils. Skofield uses fragrance-free shampoo and only washes her hair once a week. She said people don’t have to stop using soap, but can modify their hygiene routine. You can also xperiment with using a few teaspoons of finely powdered clay in the shower. It absorbs grease and oil. “The biggest problem is that soaps need not be tested for their aquatic toxicity or persistence,” Barsh said. “That leaves regulators and consumers high and dry.” For more info, email kwiaht@gmail.com.

Burlington man arrested for obscene phone calls Skagit County authorities on Monday arrested a 35-year-old Burlington, Wash. resident accused of making dozens of obscene phone calls to women in the San Juans over the past two months. Eric N. Lawson, of Burlington, was apprehended early Monday at his home and then later escorted to the San Juan County Sheriff ’s office in Friday Harbor, where he remains in custody on a $5,000 arrest warrant issued in San Juan County District Court. Lawson is slated for an initial appearance Tuesday afternoon in District Court.
Business owners support nat’l monument movement More than 150 local business owners in the San Juan Islands have signed a letter urging President Obama to declare a swath of lands across the islands as a national monument. The move would protect 955 acres managed by the Bureau of Land Management that play a critical role in both the economy and culture of the San Juans. The letter, which makes the case for maintaining the economic health of the islands, comes on the heels of significant public support, including recent support letters from Governor

Since mid-April, the Sheriff ’s Office has responded to complaints of 20 calls in which sexually explicit telephone calls came in the middle of the night by a man, from a restricted or private number, who speaks to his female victims by their name. The majority of those calls came from a cell phone, according to Sheriff Rob Nou. Nou said that Lawson was arrested on 19 counts of telephone harassment, a gross misdemeanor that carries maximum penalties of one year in jail, a $5,000 fine, or both.

Chris Gregoire on April 25 and the San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau on May 9. The letter was signed by local business owners ranging from realtors, grocery store owners, and outdoor recreation shops to hotel operators, innkeepers and artists. Community leaders have been fighting to protect the critical acreage and ensure that it isn’t taken out of public ownership. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar has voiced his support and proposed that the president declare a national monument in the San Juan Islands. Both Senator Maria Cantwell and Representative Rick Larsen have been leading the charge on this issue locally. “Maintaining the beauty and accessibility of these lands is critical to our economy. As a business person I wholeheartedly support creation of a national monument and I welcome the chance for local people to play a key role in managing these places,” said Wally Gudgell of Windermere
Orcas Island. The proposed lands include dozens of the small islands and reefs. These lands also shelter historical sites and include popular recreation destinations in the islands like Iceberg Point, Chadwick Hill and Watmough Bight on Lopez, the state park on Patos Island and the Cattle Point lighthouse on San Juan.

Orcas delegates to attend UN conference in Brazil
Student makes new wood sign for Orcas High School
Two recent Orcas Island High School graduates are headed for the United Nations Rio+20 Conference in Brazil at the end of June. Makala Forster and Jacqlynn Zier, who graduated from Orcas school in 2011, have been attending annual UN conferences advocating sustainable development since middle school, and will be joining more than 65,000 global representatives of civil society (non-governmental) and governments (heads of states and delegations) negotiating agreements on sustainable development issues. The conference Rio+20 is the 20th year anniversary of the groundbreaking 1992 Earth Summit, where the Agenda 21 and the UN Commission on Sustainable Development originated. As Orcas Island students have attended six years of Commission on Sustainable Development meetings, the island community has proudly supported this effort and made it possible for Orcas voices to be heard at global discussions in New York in the past, and to tell their stories in Rio this June.
For his senior project, Robbie Padbury made a new sign for the entrance to the high school. “I wanted to do something that would benefit both the school and the community and have something to leave behind at the school,” he said.
“Even though the international negotiations may be controversial, it is a global conversation, and the issues affect us all,” say Zier and Forster. The two students have worked the past year with a team of international professionals on a documentary film, “Alas de Rio.” This project showcases the efforts being made by young people in their different countries and communities to develop, enhance, and ensure sustainable local and global environments. One of the overlying themes of Rio+20 is “The Future We Want” campaign. The youth and other civil society groups are dedicated to this theme. They ask, “What does the future you want look like?” In regards to Orcas, the answers to this question can be transformed into clear action in continuing sustainable projects on the island, as well as easing into more sustainable lifestyles. For further information on Alas de Rio visit www.alasderio.org or contact Makala Forster (makalaforster@gmail.com) or Jacqlynn Zier (jacqzier@gmail.com).

Council authorizes shoreline report revisions The San Juan County Council is sending the Draft Shoreline Master Program’s Inventory and Characterization Report back to the consultants who compiled it for revisions. The report provides an overview of the geographical character and environmental functions of the county shorelines, and is considered in setting goals and policies that will shape regulations affecting both lands near the shoreline and near-shore marine waters. Lead SMP Planner Colin Maycock told the council that after a review of the draft by the councilappointed Shoreline Master Program Technical Advisory Committee and county staff, it was apparent further revisions were needed. Maycock
characterized the expected changes as significant, most pertaining to the analytical framework used to describe and characterize the shoreline’s geology and associated ecological activities. A new five-week public comment period on the report will begin after the revisions are complete. At the close of the previous comment period on April 30, there was a flurry of public concern after a property rights group posted a widely circulated comment form that some property owners misconstrued as a mandatory county form. The Inventory and Characterization report analyzes the overall physical shape and geology, marine and shoreline habitat, and level of development of sec-

tions of shoreline averaging more than a mile in length. Maycock said that while all input is welcome, the photographs and detailed information about such things as lawns, fire pits, docks, buoys and family gatherings that owners of individual shoreline parcels entered on the property rights group’s form don’t relate directly to the report. However, Maycock emphasized that all comments submitted at any time before the amendments to the Shoreline Master Program are adopted will be included in the record. Additionally, information
and pictures from the parcel forms submitted will be integrated into the county’s GIS system. The revised draft of the I&C Report is expected to be available in August. Maycock said he does not expect this delay to slow the overall progress of the Shoreline Master Program update, now scheduled for completion in June 2013. The planning commission is scheduled to conduct a workshop on the SMP goals and policies on July 20. For more info, go to www. sanjuanco.com/SMP.

sport. It is a low impact fun outdoor exercise. Once you become involved in rowing you will be in it for life. The sport is addictive and rowers are part of a world wide community. There are rowing clubs in or around almost every city in the world. Not to mention Cascade Lake is a beautiful place to row. No previous rowing experience is required but this is a physically strenuous water sport so participants should be able to swim and should be healthy and physically fit enough to participate in vigorous exercise. If you are unsure you should consult with a physician. The class consists of four two-hour lessons on Cascade Lake at the OIR boathouse: June 18, 19, 20 and 21, 7 to 9 a.m. There will be a bonus session on Saturday, June 23, where you can practice what you learned at a fun row. The class fee is $150. Go to www. orcasislandrowing.org for directions and more information about the club. OIR will be offering more classes if there is demand. So if for some reason you cannot make this class because of the schedule you should get in touch with them and let them know if there are other schedules that would work for you. Regular Saturday rowing will begin the following Saturday, June 22, scheduled for 7 to 9 a.m. every Saturday until Labor Day. Graduates of the class are encouraged to come back that first Saturday and beyond. Any experienced rowers, including juniors and masters are also encouraged to come out for Saturday rowing. If you have questions or want to sign up for the class contact: Martin Taylor at martin@OrcasDigerati.com or 376-6935.

earing your favorite pair of bell bottoms, you walk outside to face another revolutionary day with the newest Led Zepplin eight-track blasting from the high-tech speakers of your 1976 Trans Am. If this scenario strikes a chord with you, Martin Lund’s One World Festival will bring back more memories with the sounds of Motown, classic rock and the British invasion. “They were dynamic times, a huge change in music,” said organizer Donna Laslo. “Musicians from this time are legendary.” This 10th Anniversary Show features music of the 1960s and ‘70s on Friday and Saturday, June 22-23, 7:30 p.m. at Orcas Center. Lund creates this variety show each June and wows audiences with a sampling of music and world-class artists from the northwest and beyond. Themes in the past have included jazz, Brazilian, Parisian, oldtime radio, and “the magic of music.” “Martin’s gift is music, it’s something he can give to people,” Laslo said.
Martin Lund’s ‘One World Music Festival’ celebrates its 10th anniversary with music of the 1960s and ’70s
This year’s show is an opportunity to educate young people about an unconventional time – one that Lund and many other islanders lived through. “Ability to reflect on the past is important,” said Lund. “The ‘60s and ‘70s was an important time and growing up I knew these were not normal times, they were extraordinary times.” Songs like John Lennon’s “Imagine,” which is still popular today, showed an age of idealism that Lund says changed the world. It was also time of quality songwriters and experimentation – getting out of the “Leave It To Beaver” box of the ‘50s, said Laslo. The two bands performing in the upcoming show embody the unique ideas of that bygone era. Lee Oskar, known for his killer harmonica playing and as a member 1960s and 1970s hit funk band War, famous for songs like “Why Can’t We Be Friends,” will be joined on-stage by his jam band, featuring a string section and African percussion. “A string quartet in a blues band is exactly like the musical experimentation that was going on in the ‘60s. It’s a pleasure to hear them play,” Lund said. “And Lee is a wild and mean harmonica player. No one equals him.”
The other headliner is Apple Jam, a popular Beatles tribute band out of Seattle that performs Beatles and solo years’ favorites, deep cuts, and never-released songs. “Apple Jam accurately expresses what the Beatles said and it’s a tribute to those incredible songwriters’ memory,” Laslo said. Local performers will also share the stage, playing tunes from the past. Talents include Jazz Lund, Gene Nery, Grace McCune, Jim Bredouw, Tony Morales, Kt Lazlo, Sharon Abreu and Khadoma Colomby. All proceeds of the show benefit The Funhouse-Commons. Laslo and Lund said the reason they are raising funds for the The Funhouse-Commons is its an organization focused on education and creating an environment where kids and adults can better themselves. And even if you aren’t a child of the ‘60s, all ages can enjoy the music, because quality tunes stay quality forever. “It’s not just an concert, it’s an event, a happening,” Lund said. Tickets are $28 or $24 for Orcas Center members and $15 for students. For more info, visit www.orcascenter.org or funhousecommons.org.

appoint more bright young women, she’d come a long way from producing the “Betty Crocker Show” for NBC. When a pre-school teacher heard a demeaning quip from a sitting legislator that she’d never make a difference “as just a mom in tennis shoes,” Patty Murray made a run for the U.S. Senate and won.

The question will be explored by academics, artists and mere mortals on Orcas Island at KindlingsFest July 25-28. “At KindlingsFest we want to explore how to create a richer intergenerational future,” says Dick Staub, Kindlings founder and pastor of the Orcas Island Community Church. KindlingsFest is the fifth annual “celebration of art and ideas where they intersect with the spiritual.” Folks of all spiritual and religious traditions are welcome at the four-day event held at the community church. This year’s theme is “Crabbed Age and Youth Cannot Live Together: Towards Creating An Intergenerational Future In A Fragmented Age.” “The Kindlings is a relational, intergenerational movement whose mission is to rekindle the spiritual, intellectual and creative legacy of Christians in culture,” says Staub. By Staub’s observation, post-World War II marketing strategies sliced and diced populations by demographics, resulting in communities divided by age groups, with the young cut off from the wisdom of their elders and the gray-haired missing out on the energy and innovation of youth. By way of contrast, Staub notes that our past was rich with guilds and apprenticeships, Socratic dialogue at The Academy, mentors and spiritual directors, saying that it is only in recently that culture has lost those inter-age connections. The KindlingsFest sched-
ule will include lectures by Cambridge University theologian and poet Malcolm Guite, daily meditations by C.S. Lewis scholar Dr. Jerry Root, performances by UK-born guitarist and composer Jason Carter, indie band Family and Friends, and contemplative Celtic music from Jeff Johnson, Wendy Goodwin. Also presenting will be Fulbright scholar and painter Jeremy Mangan, writer Jim Riordan, Dr. Jeff Keuss, actor Nigel Goodwin, photographer Dieter Zander and more. The event will also feature an evening BagEnd Cafe with open mic, an artwalk in Eastsound, and three films selected from the annual Sundance Film Festival that relate to this

Lecturer Dr. Malcolm Guite. year’s theme. “Orcas Island’s older generation has a wealth of experience and our younger generation is hungry for learning,” says Staub. He invites islanders and visitors – young and old – to come and join the dialogue, making merriment, art and memories together at KindlingsFest 2012.

DVSAS 5K RUN/WALK
Orcas Center Summer Theatre Camp presents “Glee and Theatre Games” with Grace McCune and Jake Perrine. Designed for ages eight to 12, this nine-day theatre arts camp has loads of fun, music and theatre games for children who desire to perform on stage. Camp runs from July 2 to 13, Monday through Friday (no July 4). There will be a short performance on July 13 at 5 p.m. for parents and friends. Perrine will lead the children through a series of fun and energetic theatre games that will enhance and educate participants in acting and even help some in overcoming shyness about performing. McCune will focus on voice and will teach a contemporary and upbeat song that will later be choreographed, and then performed – just like in the television show “Glee.” For those children who do not wish to sing or dance, they will continue their participation through theatre games and improvised skits with Perrine. All the activities will be incorporated in the performance on the last day of theatre camp.
Tuition is $250. Credit cards are accepted and there are four partial scholarships available on a first come, first served basis, based on
need. For more information, call Sparks at 376-2281 or email sparks@orcascenter. org.

There will be a book signing at Darvill’s Bookstore on Sunday, June 17 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Spencer is a former secondary school instructor and health educator who lives with her husband and daughter.

However, two more recent homesteads demonstrate that today’s islanders are no less resourceful than its original settlers.
