Graduates shine on their big day Future

of state parks remains murky

by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher

“Always remember where you came from ... we will always remember you.” Senator Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, imparted these words to the Orcas High School graduating class, after administration honored him for securing $1 million in capital funds for improvements to the school. “You are the sons and daughters of Orcas Island,” he said. It was a sentiment echoed by Orcas Fire Chief Kevin O’Brien, who gave the commencement speech. He graduated from the school in 1984. “I can tell you, as graduates of Orcas Island High School, you feel special – and that’s because you are,” he said. Among his advice to the students: have personal accountability, make good decisions, devise a plan, give to others and thank your parents. Friends, family and community members cheered on the 21 graduates during the ceremony on June 16. The crowd enjoyed music by the high school band, speeches from valedictorian Sofie Clure Thixton, cosalutatorians Christopher Ghazel and Huxley Smart and class speaker Robin Gropp and a slideshow/video of the class members. This was the 90th graduation celebration for the school district. The students received $50,000 in scholarships during a Celebration of Success the previous day.

The truth about tent caterpillars

Madrona Murphy has lived in the islands for 31 years and this year is the worst tent caterpillar outbreak she has ever seen. “People keep asking us what to do about them,” said Murphy, a botanist at the Lopez-based laboratory Kwiaht. More specifically, people want to know how to kill them. The western tent caterpillar, with its orange and black markings, is an unpopular visitor. Periodic caterpillar outbreaks result in defoliation, minor branch dieback, and in some cases, tree mortality, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The peaks or “outbreaks” are cyclical, tend to occur every six to 11 years and can last up to four years. These eruptions are generally regulated by weather and temperature. “After an outbreak the population collapses and there are years in which the caterpillars are hard

to find,” Murphy said. This insect, which is four to five centimeters long, gets its name from the “tents” it spins on the tips of branches. Eggs hatch in early spring, and then larvae begin feeding. Young tent caterpillars usually eat all of the leaves on one branch before moving on to the next. They spin their cocoons in mid-June, and the adult moths emerge in seven to 10 days. Murphy said this year some caterpillars hatched late and may keep eating until July. “We don’t know if it is due to changes in the climate, but it looks like the tent caterpillar season may be longer this year than normal,” she added. The good news is that caterpillars do not transmit diseases to humans and do not bite, according to Sharon J. Collman of Washington State University’s Extension Master Gardener Program in her article “Biology and Control of

On sunny weekends Moran State Park is a flutter of activity with tents filling campsites, families hiking and cyclists huffing and puffing up Mt. Constitution. While on the surface the park looks picture perfect, underneath it continues to suffer financially. On June 9, instead of playing in the sun, islanders turned out in force at the Eastsound Fire Hall on to talk about the situation. “The meeting was awesome and amazing because so many people showed their concern for the parks on a pretty day to talk about strategies and the park system in general,” said presenter Daniel Farber of Washington State Parks. The core of the meeting, hosted by Friends of Moran, was to discuss whether state park systems

Connections and the generous support of a private donor. After a nutritious meal together, the children were invited to participate in five fun activities that they did at their own pace. These activities were designed by preschool and elementary teachers to help prepare the kids and their families for kindergarten. The hope is that the children will continue doing the activities over the summer, and enter kindergarten with a good skill‐set. At the beginning of the evening, each child was given a free bag, and after visiting each activity table,

they left with their new bag full of educational tools like books, a jump rope, school supplies and more. The activity tables were staffed by teachers from the public and Christian schools, Kaleidoscope, Montessori and Children’s House Preschools and Children’s. Children’s librarian Nita Couchman provided a new book and the opportunity for the children to sign up for a library card. As a special bonus this year, each child received a $15 gift certificate to purchase a new book at Darvill’s. This year, the banquet was catered by Rita and Rachel Harvey, who donated their time.

Jake Zier, who is 16, at the USRowing Youth National Championships in early June. Jake Zier, 16, an Orcas High School junior and co-captain of the Orcas Island Rowing Association team, joined more than 1,500 top qualifying rowers from across the country for the USRowing Youth National Championships held June 8-10 on Melton Lake in Oak Ridge, Tenn. Finishing seventh overall in the men’s heavyweight single class, Zier faced the fastest 17 rowers the rest of the country could offer. Undoubtedly one of the smallest clubs in attendance, coach Tina Brown, co-captain Max Blackadar and Zier represented

OIRA at nationals with borrowed oars and a rented boat, quickly named by Blackadar as “The Big Z.” After three blazing fast heat races Friday and Saturday, Zier finished first in the 2K meter B final Sunday in 7:35 minutes, only three seconds behind the A final winner. “I am a very proud coach,” Brown said. “Jake officially placed seventh but had the fourth fastest time over all!” She thanked all of those who supported OIRA.

Highlands conduct annual firewise work party The Orcas Highlands neighborhood participated in its annual Firewise work day on June 9. Under the leadership of National Firewise expert and Neighborhood Association President Judith Leraas Cook and the help of contractor Bob Berdan and his crew, neighbors came together, rolled up their sleeves, fired up their chain saws and weed trimmers, and marshaled a fleet of neighborhood pick-up trucks to clear their homes of vegetation that could contribute to the spread of fire. The Orcas Highlands Association, a community of around 100 homes, has been a Firewise Communities/USA site for seven years. The key to success of the Highland’s Firewise program has been the strong neighborhood involvement, said fire chief Kevin O’brien. “The highlight of the day was the community pot-

The San Juan Islands Visitor Bureau has launched a project to simultaneously get people out of their cars, and onto the San Juan Islands Scenic Byway. The byway, made official in 2008, includes San Juan Island, Orcas Island and the ferry routes. It is Washington’s first marine route and consists of a 30-mile marine route and an 85-mile land route. It begins at the ferry dock in Anacortes and travels through Friday Harbor and Orcas Village. In 2011, San Juan Islands Scenic Byways Partnership was awarded two grants through the U.S. Department of Transportation to promote the natural and cultural history of routes on the islands and surrounding waters. The first grant used for

State Park. Dan Ward, owner of San Juan Transit, said he is excited about combining the shuttle service and the byway. Ward has been in business for 18 years and operated a shuttle service on Orcas in the ’90s. “Hopefully people will get to see both Orcas and San Juan without having to bring their cars,” he said. Liz Illg, the Scenic Byway project coordinator, said several people on Orcas were instrumental in making the Orcas shuttle a reality: Gilleland, Cathy Faulkner from Orcas Pathways and Michel Vekved from Friends of Moran. The visitors’ bureau is offering a two for one deal on the Byway Explorer Day Pass at www.visitsanjuans. com/scenicbyway. For the shuttle bus, call 378-8887 and schedules and pick-up sites are at www. sanjuantransit.com.

Long criminal record for accused obscene phone caller A Burlington man accused of making a series of late-night obscene phone calls to women in the San Juans beginning in midApril was released from state prison six weeks before those alleged calls began. Eric Nathan Lawson, 35, a convicted sex offender, recently served time in prison following a 2009 conviction for second-degree assault, a felony. He was released March 1, according to court documents. Lawson, who pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court June 8 to 21 counts of telephone harassment, a gross misdemeanor, was in custody in the Sheriff ’s Office in Friday Harbor as of late last week,

promotion was $33,190, and the second grant, totaling $171,680, is being used to explore transportation alternatives for visitors and locals traveling the byway, namely the shuttle project. Terri Gilleland, of the Orcas Chamber, said the shuttle is important because it is environmentally conscious, visitors are always looking for alternatives to driving and it helps cut down on road congestion. “It would be great to see locals imbracing the shuttle as a way to get around,” she said. Starting June 22 and running through the Labor Day weekend, the shuttle bus service offered by San Juan Transit will be on Orcas Monday through Friday. Daily service will be offered during the week of July 4. Pick-up sites include the ferry landing, Deer Harbor, Orcas Golf, Eastsound, Rosario Resort and Moran

Lawson identified himself as homeless when he registered as a sex offender with Skagit County authorities shortly as his prison release. In 2008, he was convicted of felony burglary and theft, negligent driving and failing to register as a sex offender. His criminal history includes 15 convictions for felonies and misdemeanors. Lawson was convicted of Indecent Liberties, a felony

sex crime, in 1996 and of first-degree molestation of a child in 1990, according to court records. A gross misdemeanor, telephone harassment carries maximum penalties of up to a year in jail, a $5,000 fine or both. Lawson is represented by county public defender Stephen Brandli. He will be prosecuted in Superior Court, generally reserved for felony trials, because two alleged victims are district court employees.

Editorial

ake a close look at our island foliage, and you’re bound to see clusters of furry, skinny, orange caterpillars wrapped around branches in what looks like a spiderweb. It’s been a big year for infestations of tent caterpillars, leaving many gardeners and land owners frustrated. But wondrous mother nature has her own way of taking care of those pesky pests. And in the meantime, it might teach us humans something about patience. The best way to eradicate the tent caterpillars? Let them be, for now. There are natural enemies – like a highly contagious virus and a parasitic fly who eat the caterpillars from the inside out – that will take care of a large percentage of them. We’re not saying that you should just stand back and watch these pests devour your foliage, we’re just recommending you don’t go out and buy a blowtorch or pesticides – two methods that could result in doing more harm than good. Remember that the first rule of being a good earth steward is do no damage that you can’t take back. Be moderate. Pick off the caterpillars by hand, or if that gives you the heebie-jeebies then trim off the most infested branches and dip them in salt water or throw it in the compost or a burn pile. And if you really want to test your restraint, remove the caterpillar’s gray, bubbly eggs next winter. They are laid in the late summer and easily found in tree foliage during the winter months. Remember, most trees can handle the defoliation that tent caterpillars cause. They will recover, even if they look wretched right now. The power of nature is astounding. Not only are there natural enemies that destroy these pests, but most trees are resilient enough to withstand some loss of foliage. It’s hard for us to stand by and watch what appears to be major tree devastation, but in most cases, it’s best to exercise a little, if not a lot, of patience.

Thank you from Joe Goodrich This is a belated “Thank You” to all who helped put together the “Mother of all Garage Sale Benefits,” which was held at the Oddfellows Hall on Sunday, May 27. By all accounts, it was a wonderful community gathering and a good time was had by all. There were musicians on the deck, a mountain of baked goods to eat and an amazing silent auction. The Oddfellows Hall was overflowing with thousands of donated items; some valuable, many useful, some whimsical and others delightfully ridiculous. Many thanks to all the islanders who dug through their garages and attics to retrieve items for donation. I want to thank all whom did the heavy lifting and the “truck packing and unpacking heroes. I also wish to thank all of the people who helped set up and organize the tables, the decorations that were left from the dance the night before and all those who helped clean up and pack away the remnants. It was a huge effort and a great success! There are five women to who I wish to give my heartfelt appreciation. They were the inspiration and moving force behind the entire event. Sarah Coffelt, Ginny Lu Wood, Liz Schermerhorn, Gracie Grantham and my wife, Elaine. The generosity of this island community is truly inspirational. I sometimes feel self conscious and embarrassed about being the center of so much love and attention. We are all so greatly blessed to live in such a caring community. I wish you all the very best of good health and great spirit. Joe Goodrich Orcas Island

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

May 26: A Lopez Island home belonging to a Seattle man was ransacked sometime during his recent two-month absence from the Watmough Head Road residence. The 45-year-old had last been at the home in late March. Upon his return, he reportedly found its windows and screens broken and torn, artwork and appliances tossed outside, clothing scattered throughout its interior, and that a stockpile of food and supplies had been consumed. June 1: A Portland, Ore., man was arrested for driving with a suspended license following a late afternoon two-car collision at the intersection of Mount Baker and North Beach roads. The 44-yearold, who was behind the wheel of his mother’s pickup when he struck an Orcas man’s Volkswagen bus, was also ticketed for failure to yield and for driving without proof of insurance. His license reportedly had been suspended because of a DUIrelated offense. June 3: The smell of burning plastic led to a ticket for an Orcas Island man following a late-night investigation of outdoor burning in a Point Lawrence Road neighborhood. The 45-year-old, who reportedly set fire to a number of prohibited items, was confronted by authorities about the burn pile at about 11:30 p.m. He was ticketed illegal burning and faces a fine of up to $500. June 5: A warrant for failing to appear in court led to a midafternoon arrest of an Orcas Island man at his Crosswinds Lane home. The 47-year-old, who was taken into custody at about 2:30 p.m., reportedly failed to appear in court on charges of driving with without a license or identification.

TENT FROM 1 Tent Caterpillars.” The bad news is a single tent may result in 20 percent defoliation of a small tree. Established trees can handle at least 25 percent defoliation without experiencing any ill effects, according to WSU gardener experts, but where trees are crowded or stressed, the leaf loss could be fatal. Caterpillars may wreak havoc on weak trees, but these pests also have natural enemies – a highly contagious virus and a parasitic fly. The virus passes easily from one caterpillar to the other so when the density of the caterpillars is high it leads to heavy mortality: imagine someone with meningitis in a mosh pit. The other dangers these caterpillars face is even more insidious. If you see a caterpillar with one or more small white dots on its head those are the eggs of the tachinid fly. “The larvae eat the caterpillars from the inside out,” said Murphy. “It’s pretty gruesome. And when these infected caterpillars pupate, the fly hatches and flies out instead of finishing its caterpillar meal.” And there is one more animal that causes the destruction of this creepy crawler: humans, which have an assortment of weapons including fire and chemicals. According to Whatcom County’s gardening extension website, you should never use fire as a control method for the pest as it can cause more damage to the tree. “Don’t worry too much,” Murphy said. “Most trees will recover on their own this year, even if they look terrible right now.” Murphy suggests picking caterpillars off small trees, but the best time to control the insect is next winter when you can remove the eggs before they hatch. Eggs, which are slightly bubbly gray crusts, are laid by the adult moths in late summer and are easily found in winter after trees drop their leaves and can be peeled off of the branches by hand. Murphy said the next best option for controlling the caterpillars is after they hatch. When they are clustered around newly spun nests, she suggests cutting the insects out. Dispose of the affected branches by putting them in your compost, burning or immersing them in water or salt water. “Once the caterpillars have dispersed throughout

the tree, control becomes much more difficult,” she added. Some sources recommend spraying the caterpillars with Bacillus thuringiensis, a bacterium that is toxic to caterpillars, but Murphy urges islanders to consider that Bt is a living organism and will continue to kill the caterpillars of other butterflies and moths. “Patience may be the best course at this time since most caterpillars will stop eating in June and leave the trees to spin their cocoons,” said Murphy. Despite the fact that tent caterpillars can do some pretty serious damage, they are not entirely destructive to the environment. According to WSU gardener experts, some birds do feed on tent caterpillars and they can even be beneficial to trees. “When alders and other trees are defoliated, the shrubs and trees below receive increased sunlight, giving some of them a boost in growth,” Collman said. “The eaten leaves pass through the caterpillar’s body and emerge as little pellets, which can break down easily, returning nutrients to the forest floor. Pupae provide nutritious meals for small mammals, and moths are eaten by birds and bats.”

Library celebrates a big anniversary Twenty years ago, June 20, Orcas Islanders broke ground for the construction of a new library on the Rose Street bluff, overlooking Eastsound. The 6,000-square-foot building was the fulfillment of a dream that began in 1949 with a few shelves of donated books at the Madrona Club. When the “library” outgrew that space, it spread across the island, occupying shelves at stores and post offices, with clerks and post-office employees acting as “librarians.” In 1956, a dedicated building was constructed on Main Street on land donated by Mrs. Fred Meyer, owner of the Outlook Inn. In typical island fashion, the first library was funded by donations of money, time, talent and materials. During 2013, the Orcas Island Library will celebrate its 20th anniversary in its current building. This summer and fall, the groundbreaking and construction period are being recognized with an enhancement of the library landscape. Like any living organism, the plantings of 20 years ago have been altered by the vicissitudes of time and weather.

DH Jones Design Interior Consulting • Venetian Plaster • Interior Paint

Some plants have outgrown their site; others have failed to thrive; and more recent, arbitrary plantings have compromised the original design. Supported by grants from the Friends of the Orcas Island Library ($2,500) and The Orcas Island Garden Club ($500), and by donations from local businesses, including Lorna Vester of Driftwood Nursery and Emily Aring of KaBloom Landscaping, Trustee Margaret Payne, “Friends” President, former Trustee

and long-time volunteer, Pierrette Guimond and Aring are enhancing the landscape with new plantings. The philosophical foundation of the enhanced landscape is both aesthetic and ethical: to make the library grounds as beautiful as possible, using as much volunteer time and donations as possible, with a focus on plants that are deer- and drought-resistant and are beneficial to birds, bees, butterflies, and humans. The long-term goal is to

create a garden that is lively, lovely and learner-centered, a resource for islanders who want to learn more about the special conditions for gardening on Orcas Island. At the moment, the new plants are immature, but by next summer, when the library celebrates its anniversary with a community picnic, they should be buzzing with insect, avian, and human interest.

Obituaries Raymond Kevin Jarecki Ray Jarecki, resident of Orcas Island for 20 years, died at Skagit Valley Hospital on May 25, 2012. He was born in Pasadena, Calif. on May 14, 1935 and resided there until 1988 when business took him to Tampa, Fla. and Houston, TX each for two years. He and his wife, Diane, moved to Orcas in 1992 upon retirement. Ray graduated from University of Southern California in 1960 with a degree in economics and finance. After graduation he worked for a short time in the financial department at Gladding-McBean and then went to work for Transit Mixed Concrete Co. in Los Angeles. Within three years he became CFO and was largely instrumental in transforming the company into one of the largest ready mixed concrete companies in southern California. Eventually, he and his partner bought the company

www.ISLANDSSOUNDER.com

from the original family and after several years sold it to Southdown, a leading producer of cement. Ray remained with Southdown for four years as president of their ready-mixed branch in the southeast and southwest. Ray married Diane Reynholds in 1961, having know her since 1952, as he was one her brother’s best friends. In 1967, Bob, Ray’s son by a previous marriage, made his home with Ray and Diane. Ray was a very accomplished seaman. He and Diane bought their first racing sloop in 1966 and actively raced until 1988. During that time he raced in nearly all southern California yachting events, both local and offshore. They also cruised their own boat or chartered in Mexico, the Windward and Leeward Islands and the British Virgin Islands. After moving to Orcas Island, they cruised their powerboat, Avanti, extensively in local waters and in Alaska, Mexico and British Columbia. Ray was very involved with the Orcas Island Yacht

Club, serving as commodore in 1997. He felt strongly that sailing was a very important activity for young people and founded the junior sailing program in 1996. This is a summer program aimed at teaching sailing techniques to children ages seven to 15. Many of the young people who are introduced to sailing via the program go on to race competitively with the Sail Orcas club team of Orcas High School. The junior sailing program is administered by Sail Orcas. Ray also was concerned about providing medical care for those on Orcas who, through no fault of their own, were uninsured or underinsured. He established the Medical Assistance Program to provide funds to help pay for care at the Orcas Medical Center. The MAP is administered by the Orcas Medical Foundation. Ray is survived by his wife Diane, son Bob, brother Jan, brother-in-law and wife Richard and Marilyn Reynholds and several nephews and nieces and many friends. A memorial service will be announced at a later date. Memorial donations may be given to Sail Orcas – Junior Sailing Program, Orcas Medical Foundation – MAP, or to a charity of your choice. Submitted by Ray Jarecki’s family.

Kamala Hunter Harrison Kamala Hunter Harrison, 85, passed away peacefully at home in Eastsound on May 10, 2012. She was born in 1927 to the late Faye and Frank Hunter in Altoona, Pa. She was an avid equestrian in her youth, showing extensively and winning many competitions. She had five children with her first husband, and three with her second. She had many volunteer positions while her children were growing up, including teaching classes at the botanical gardens and working as an amateur paleontologist at the La Brea Tar Pits. After her children were grown she found her calling working for many years in

MORAN FROM 1 should operate more like a business, a conservation asset or a nonprofit. These types of meetings are important, said Farber, because of the significant changes in the way parks are financed. In years past the parks had substantial help from the state’s general tax fund, but the latest budget crunches have left parks with potentially zero financial help from that resource. Michel Vekved of Friends of Moran State Park said islanders are concerned that taking this funding away entirely is like taking the

Her spirit of adventure took her around the world three times. She moved to Orcas Island in 1990, and spent many happy hours working at Indralaya in addition to her healing work. She is survived by her beloved husband Kiko, and seven children: Gil O'Brien, Lauren Burnett, Craig O'Brien, Brigid Brown, Cary Harrison, Leslie Cizmas, and Michelle Harrison. She is also survived by 11 grandchildren and 18 greatgrandchildren. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that state park, which is an asset, away from the people. Some islanders thought that a nonprofit alternative was not sustainable, Vekved added, while others pointed out that some nonprofits are successful. “We heard that the public does not want privatization and is very concerned about big business taking over parks,” Vekved said. “The majority of feedback was to keep parks funded with general funds.” Vekved said the solution may be a combination of operating the park as an enterprise, conservation asset and nonprofit. When some attendees pointed

Discover Pass The parks agency originally predicted the Discover Pass, a state-wide parking permit, would raise $32 million a year, most of it dedicated to parks. But it brought in just $11.3 million in its first 10 months, which ended in April.

At the end of the meeting, Vekved said some people walked away frustrated because the presentation didn’t provide solutions. Farber walked away with hope – he was inspired by the Friends of Moran. “They are taking an enormous load off of the parks’ depleted staff,” he said. Statewide volunteers and organizations are helping many parks function, but he said some are doing more than others. Moran is one of the best, Farber said. “We have lost some parks already, some parks have been taken back by Corps of Engineers, there will probably be more of that and we’ll have a smaller park system,” Farber said. “But the parks aren’t going to go away – they are too great and too important.” For more info, visit http:// friendsofmoran.com/ or http://www.parks.wa.gov/.

Mt. Baker Rd. project rescheduled Mobile dental van is back The final phase of the Mount Baker Road and Trail improvement projects on Orcas has been rescheduled to go to bid this fall, with construction taking place next spring. The project includes road safety improvements, wetland restoration and construction of a pedestrian trail. County Engineer Rachel Dietzman said that she had hoped the project could move forward during this calendar year, but delays in the process of securing needed federal permits have pushed the schedule back beyond this year’s construction season. “Much of this is work that needs to be done during good weather and we don’t want to start at a time of year when we know there will be weather delays,” she said. Dietzman said funding for the project remains secure. San Juan County has received a $2.516 million

Pet of the WEek

dollar Rural Arterial Trust Account grant from the state to help pay for design, right of way acquisition, and construction. An additional Federal Transportation Enhancement grant of $88,000 was received for the adjacent trail project. Public works has requested Federal Surface Transportation Program funding for an additional $700,000 that will be applied to both the road and trail construction. The upgrade will increase the width of the road between North Beach Road and Terrill Beach Road to 30 feet, including 4-foot shoulders. The Terrill Beach Road intersection will be improved. Drainage will be enhanced by replacing cross culverts and improving the function of existing storm drainage system. The project also includes a five-foot wide pedestrian trail leading from North Beach Road to the Land Bank Stonebridge Preserve access gate where it will connect to a trailhead for a

future land bank primitive interpretive trail. A wetland mitigation project on the band bank’s Stonebridge Preserve will enhance six acres of existing degraded wetlands. The mitigation design calls for widening two existing ditches into plant-filled swales and creating five shallow pools planted with thousands of wetland plants, shrubs, and trees.

Sheriff ups patrols With school out, summer arriving and the onset of the tourist season, the sheriff ’s office is stepping up enforcement to keep people safe. Specific emphasis will focus on impaired drivers, speeding drivers, distracted drivers (cell phones), and unrestrained occupants of motor vehicles.

Summer Solstice Welcome the sun in style with the solstice parade and trashion fashion show by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG

Editor/Publisher

he Santa Barbara Solstice Parade may have more than 1,000 participants, but it doesn’t have dancing, singing islanders. Orcas Island’s summer solstice parade returns to Eastsound this weekend. Organizer Laura Gibbons got her inspiration for the foot parade while in northern California. “I had experienced a solstice parade in Santa Barbara in the 1970s. When I moved to Orcas, I thought, ‘yes, let’s do this here.’ It was a celebration of art and community. It struck a chord. We’ve always tried to keep the spirit of what they are doing.” The 14th annual parade and celebration is on Saturday, June 23 at noon. The whimsical and always colorful foot parade will wind its way up North Beach Road ending at the Stage on the Green for free local entertainment. The summer celebration opens with the Zumba gals and energetic dance moves to get the party started. The Sandfleas kickoff the musical performances with retro surf tunes. The Dustbunnies will keep the dance party going with funk, rock music and antics. The Exchange will then host its Trashion Fashion show. Marlene Dickey and Friends follow with her special take on retro folk from the 70’s. The music performances are scheduled from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. “I love it when people get together in the Village Green and have fun dancing, enjoying the farmers’ market and taking the time to enjoy that moment,” Gibbons said. Parade participants are asked to gather

on Haven Road near the Oddfellows Hall by 11:15 a.m. The rules are simple: no motorized vehicles, no written words, no livestock. No registration is required. Many islanders get together and design whimsical entries or create dance and music routines. Gibbons is part of a troupe who performs every year. The event is co-sponsored by the San Juan County Parks and community volunteers. For more information, call 376-5458 or visit the Orcas Island Solstice Parade page on Facebook. “It is so colorful and so fun,” Gibbons said. “We have all ages from children to seniors. We have music, dancers, artists. Everyone gives a little bit of what they can give. It’s a gift ... my favorite aspect is the smiles from the people on the sidewalk – that’s the heart of it.”

Recycled art and trashion fashion show The Exchange is presenting a special event on the same day as the solstice parade. Located at the Orcas transfer station, the Exchange allows islanders to both donate and pick up reusable items like clothes, books, tools and household items. On the Village Green from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. there will be recycled art exhibits, recycled tools and the popular Trashion Fashion Show, where islanders show off their unique clothing made from Exchange items. The fashion show will be on the main stage after the Dustbunnies perform. If you have items to bring for the exhibits, take them to the Village Green by 9:30 a.m. and return for pick up by 3 p.m.

Crow Valley Pottery’s first summer opening 15 years of summer shows at historic cabin One of Orcas Island’s longest-running family businesses enters its 53rd season by presenting its annual Garden Art Show. The show, which features art “for and about the garden,” has long been an introduction of new work and artists to the shop. Many an Orcas artist has been “launched” through Crow Valley with some artists showing with the shop for nearly 20 years. The show opens with an artist’s reception on Friday, June 22 from 4 to 7 p.m. at “The Cabin” shop across from the golf course. The show will run until July 9. Robin Rodenberger is one of this season’s featured artists.

Homestead tour this weekend “Not your ordinary garden club” is an apt description of the Orcas Island Garden Club. Almost 60 years ago, the group began as an offshoot of the Madrona Club, with a few members meeting in each other’s homes and gardens. It is now 175 members strong and meets monthly, September to May, in the Madrona Room of the Orcas Center. The 2012-13 program includes speakers on topics ranging from the impact of climate change on the islands to four-season gardening and worm composting. Membership and Garden Tour proceeds support educational programming and grants to the community for projects such as the current library landscape enhance-

ment and the “Farm to Cafeteria” garden at the public school. Tickets for this year’s “Homestead Tour,” June 23-24, are $20, available at Driftwood Nursery, Darvill’s

Registration for the 2012 Summer Reading Program begins June 25 at the Orcas Island Public Library. The program runs until Aug. 19 and is open to children from preschool through middle school. Parents of preschoolers are encouraged to enroll their children and read aloud with them as part of the reading program. Children keep a reading log and earn “Library Dollars” which can be used to buy books from the “store” at the library. Kids who have their log checked at the library will be entered in a weekly drawing for a bag of goodies. Summer activities also include a weekly chapter book read-aloud hour on Tuesdays, 1:30-2:30 p.m., for ages six to 10, and
