A look at vitamin D by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter

Construction workers, landscapers and farmers may have a leg up on office workers when it comes to bone health, according to research on the positive effects of sun exposure. Historically, Americans worked outdoors tending their fields or participating in other manual labor under the sun. In modern times, many careers require work under artificial light, causing an increase in vitamin D deficiency. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that the percentage of adults achieving a proper level of vitamin D has declined from about 60 percent in 1988-1994 to approximately 30 percent in 2001-2004. According to a Mayo Clinic Study, 25 to 50 percent or more of patients commonly encountered in clinical practice are deficient in vitamin D.

A visitor soaks up some rays of vitamin D at Cascade Lake. Dr. David Shinstrom at The Orcas Family Health Center says it is entirely possible that “low vitamin D levels have been present in humans since we stood on two feet.” Vitamin D is fat-soluble and known as “the sunshine vitamin.” Studies have shown that it promotes bone health, cell growth, immune function and reduces inflammation, according to the National Institutes of Health. Shinstrom says using vitamin D with calcium has been successful to treat osteoporosis, but he is skeptical about its role in other health

School looks at tough budget cuts by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher

The high school student spoke to a room of adults and passionately described the importance of studying matter, space and energy – preferably at the college level – come this fall. But she and other students may not get that chance if cuts to the district budget are approved. “Please keep AP physics,” Brigid Ehrmantraut said at a public hearing last week. She was in attendance with her dad Brian and mother

issues. He describes the vitamin as one of the “more controversial topics in the medical field, with a wide variety of opinions.” “There are always new studies that may provide more proof,” he added.

Sources of vitamin D According to the National Institutes of Health, vitamin D is found in fatty fish like salmon and tuna. It can also be found in butter and cheese, said Dr. David Russell

The heat is on and it still might be anyone’s game. After receiving proposals from two applicants seeking to run the Orcas transfer station, the Vendor Selection Committee has recommended Cimarron Trucking over Orcas Recycling Services. The endorsement was formally presented to the council on July 24, after the Sounder went to press. Go to www.islandssounder. com for more information. “It will be up to the council as to when the selection will be made,” said Council Chairwoman Patty Miller, who lives on Orcas. Both bid submittals were presented last week and can be viewed online at www.sanjuanco. com/sw-rfp/. The vendor selection committee consists of Miller, Steve Alexander and Russ Harvey of solid waste, and Jeff Strothers and Lisa Byers of Orcas Island. It is a councilappointed ad hoc group. The report read: “Neither proposal sufficiently addresses all of the stated RFP vendor selection criteria. However, the VSC has initially determined that Cimarron is the best qualified … with the proviso that prior to entering contract negotiations ... Cimarron modify its proposal to

teaching positions. While there are also cuts in the travel and professional program budgets, the biggest change will be felt in the curriculum and maintenance. The elementary is reducing classes from nine to seven and there will be fewer teachers in the middle and high school. The proposed budget is based on 600 students, which the board assumes is a low number. Enrollment for the 2011-12 school year was 624. Superintendent Barbara Kline said the district is expecting “quite an increase” in OASIS enrollment, in particular. It typically has around 200 kids and there could be as many as 100 more this year. OASIS is an alternative educational program designed to help parents who want a home-school or alternative education option for their children. Most of the student body lives on the mainland and learns online. If more than 600 kids show up for the school year, then money will go back into the curriculum. The areas deemed most important, in this

address key inadequacies.” Those problem areas are: compatibility with the Exchange and public communication. Blair Estenson, Cimarron’s president, told the Sounder, “we’ll work with the Exchange” to continue “the valuable services they provide to Orcas Island.” Mark De Tray, executive director of ORS, the nonprofit that runs The Exchange, was hopeful their proposal would receive the trust of the committee. ORS will present its proposal during a public forum at the Orcas Fire Hall on Friday, July 27 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. It held a similar meeting on July 23. “The Vendor Selection Committee report may seem to make Cimarron’s proposal points look more polished and professional, but how will Cimarron guarantee price stability while still reducing waste? It won’t,” wrote Orcas resident Sadie Bailey in a July 23 letter to the editor. She urged the council to vote for the ORS proposal. Cimarron Trucking Company of Anacortes is the current contract hauler for solid waste from Orcas. Estenson says his company “is ready to go,” and “knows what it’s doing, we’ve got the equipment

Storytelling in the garden Children’s House introduces new program supervisor

contributed photo

The Potato Patch Collective and Farm to Cafeteria is presenting a tea, gardening and storytelling party led by school librarian Maria Doss as a special event occurring during “Thursdays in the Garden” at the public school garden on July 26. Although gardening starts as early as 9 a.m., this special event will begin at 12:30 p.m. and last about an hour. Participants may then stay to participate in more garden activities until 3 p.m.

Orcas Island Children’s House has hired Mary Carol Britt as program supervisor of the center’s toddler and preschool programs. “This is vital leadership role for us,” said Susan Anderson, executive director. “We’re very excited about the new ideas and unique perspective she brings to our facility.” Britt has a background in education, including teaching preschool through elementary grade levels. Most recently, she spent 10 years in Community Action Head Start working with 3- to 5-year-olds as a lead teacher in several Washington County, Ore. schools. “Serving these children and their families taught me much about diversity and how to help children and families reach goals,” Britt said. In addition, she co-owned

and operated a preschool in Portland, Ore. for eight years. Britt has a masters in education in curriculum and instruction and an undergraduate degree in elementary education. In her new role, Britton is responsible for the development of OICH educational programs, coordination and administration of program activities and leadership of teaching staff. This fall, she will teach three mornings a week in the preschool classroom. While relocating from her home in Oregon is a challenge, Britt and her husband already own a home on Orcas, which will ease the transition process. “Over the years, I have been drawn to the island because of its close and caring community spirit,” she said. “Now I’m looking forward to support-

Orcas Fire Chief report by KEVIN O’BRIEN Orcas Fire Chief

Over the course of the Independence Day holiday week from July 3 through July 8, we responded to 29 alarms: 21 were EMS and eight were fire.

Missing Person On June 28, Orcas Island Fire and Rescue was dispatched to a report of a missing adult male who had been missing since 9:30 a.m. the same day. The man was last seen walking his dog in the Eagle Lake area. The search for the man included the help of the San Juan deputies, San Juan Fire Orcas Fire EMTs and firefighters, Orcas Fire Auxiliary, D.E.M., San Juan Emergency Radio Amateurs and community members. The man, in stable condition, was found along the beach by the San Juan Dist. 3 fire boat “Confidence.”

House Fire Just before 4 p.m. on July 5, seven apparatus and 24 members of Orcas Island Fire and Rescue responded to the 1400 block of North Beach Road for a structure fire that was reported by an observant OPALCO crew. The first arriving units reported smoke and flames showing on the west side of a single family wood frame house. No occupants were home at the time and the crews quickly extinguished the blaze. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the San Juan County Fire Marshal.

Marine rescue On July 5, we were called to assist the San Juan County Sheriff and U.S. Coast Guard in a marine rescue near

Vendovi Island. An adult male resident of Bellingham was reported to have sustained a traumatic injury on his recreational fishing boat in the Point Lawrence area off Orcas Island. After a search including a Coast Guard Helicopter, the patient was found near Vendovi Island with a critical traumatic injury. The patient was treated, stabilized, and transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bellingham by a Coast Guard vessel in the care of an Orcas paramedic and two emergency medical technicians.

Debris from tsunami keeps coming by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter

Debris from the tsunami that claimed nearly 16,000 lives has increased on coastal beaches in the Pacific Northwest and Canada. According to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which has been involved in the clean-up and monitoring of the debris, Japanese detritus will show up on North American shores for the next several years. Where and what types of debris might arrive is unknown. “It is expected that the outer coast will experience much greater impacts than the islands, but it is likely that some debris will make its way to island beaches in the years to come,” said Brendan Cowan, director of the San Juan County Department of Emergency Management.

The tsunami hit Japan in March 2011. As of July 2, NOAA has received 569 reports of potential tsunami debris both along West Coast shorelines and from sightings at sea – including 43 from Washington during this month. Several items have been confirmed as tsunami debris such as a 20-foot fiberglass boat that washed ashore at Cape Disappointment State Park near Ilwaco on June 15. One oceanographer

expects that human bones may wash up on northwest shores. The Japanese government estimated that the tsunami swept about five million tons of debris into the ocean, but that 70 percent sank off shore, leaving one and a half million tons floating. NOAA officials said it is difficult to tell the origin of ocean debris without unique identifying information, such as an individual or company name or boat

The San Juan County Elections Office mailed ballots on July 18 for the vote-by-mail primary election of Aug. 7. On the ballot will be federal, congressional, legislative, and judicial races, as well as a county proposition regarding adoption of a public safety sales tax. “The elections office is excited to partner with the Secretary of State to offer a greatly enhanced online site where voters can view their online voters’ guide, print a replacement ballot, and learn when the Elections Office has received their ballot,” said Auditor Milene Henley. The online site is located at myvote.wa.gov. Ballots returned by mail must be postmarked by Aug. 7. First class postage is required. Alternatively, voters may deposit their ballots at ballot drop boxes located at the San Juan County Courthouse, Orcas Island Senior Center and Lopez Fire Station. Voters may also drop ballots off at the elections office in Friday Harbor by 8 p.m. on election day.

SJ man accused of drug trafficking by Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

A San Juan Island man convicted three years ago of peddling cocaine faces a new round of felony drug charges following an early morning bust on July 15 in the De Haro Lane neighborhood. The 25-year-old allegedly had three ounces of heroin in his possession. Backed by a search warrant, San Juan County Sheriff ’s deputies arrested Raul Vallejano, Jr. on charges of possession of heroin with intent to deliver and possession of cocaine. Authorities reportedly seized roughly 43 grams of heroin and six grams of cocaine at the time of the arrest. According to authorities, the estimated “street value” of the three ounces of heroin could vary from $3,500 to $6,000 depending on quan-

tities in which it was sold. Vallejano Jr. was slated to make an initial appearance in San Juan County Superior Court Monday. The 25-year-old was reportedly living in a small rental cabin on a property in the westside island neighborhood at the time. A Class B felony, possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both; however the standard range of sentencing set by the state is 12 to 20 months in prison. In December 2009, Vallejano Jr. pleaded guilty to three felony drug charges, delivery of a controlled substance, for which he was sentenced to a year in prison and nearly $4,000 in fines and fees. He had lived on the island for about five years at the time of his conviction.

To the Editor:

Vote yes to keep public safety services

t wasn’t the first time her husband raised a fist to her face. But she had no idea it would be the last. Despite a frantic call to 911, she died at the hands of her spouse. Local deputies were overworked and in the middle of a major car accident. They couldn’t respond to the call. Does this sound dramatic and unrealistic? It’s not. It could happen. Domestic violence, drug dealing, drunk driving – it’s all part of our idyllic island communities. We depend on our county’s law, courts and justice departments to monitor and combat these illegal activities. Cutting funds to the Sheriff’s department and the Prosecutor’s office would be a major blow to our quality of life. This is why we support proposition one, the public safety sales tax on the Aug. 7 primary ballot. The tax is 3/10th of one percent. This means it’s 30 cents on every $100 dollars for visitors and locals alike. Groceries, prescription drugs and some other items are exempt. It will produce approximately $600,000 for the county and $400,000 for the Town of Friday Harbor. The county’s current budget projections show that next year revenues will fall $800,000 short of the amount needed to maintain the current level of county services and staffing. The shortfall totals approximately $3.6 million for budgets in 2013 through the end of 2015. Worst case scenarios: if the tax fails, the county will have to eliminate 14 county positions. If it passes, seven positions will be cut. According to a press release from the county, Sheriff Rob Nou noted that his force is already stretched thin providing 24-hour a day coverage on multiple islands and, unlike mainland agencies, they have no backup. Having voiced support of this measure, we also feel compelled to say that the county might want to look at its wage structure before asking voters for any more money. The pay of many county employees exceeds the average annual local wage, $31,190 (2010), with the pay of some, management in particular, twice that or more. Even though most wages were frozen in 2011, and employees took unpaid furloughs in 2010, and some now pay more for medical insurance, there are cost-of-living increases in store for union and non-union workers, 3 percent, this year and the next. In addition, some employees – including management – are slated to receive a raise in pay under a new job “re-classification” study, which is scheduled to start in August. We feel paying 3/10th of one percent is a small public cost to help sustain our law and justice programs. But we hope the county continues to look at its budget with a magnifying glass before any more drastic funding slices are threatened to take effect. When you call 911, you count on a response.

Yes for public safety A yes vote for Proposition One on the Aug. 7, 2012 ballot is a vote for public safety. Increased revenue is needed to maintain current levels of public safety and justice services in San Juan County. Despite five years of cuts in county budgets and severe cuts in staffing, county revenues are projected to fall $3.6 million short over the next three

years. Until now, cuts to the sheriff ’s department and to the criminal justice services have been minimized. But without increased revenue, these essential public services will be cut in ways that affect our quality of life. The proposed 30 cents increase per $100 in sales would fund current levels of public safety and justice services in our islands. A sales tax increase will raise revenue from both residents and visitors. Our population approximately doubles during the tourist season. The surge in visitors results in increased pressure on the sheriff ’s department and on the justice department. Most drugs and groceries would not be taxed. The sales tax would not apply to auto sales. This increase in the sales tax is the best way to stabilize funding for our county’s public safety and justice services because visitors will contribute as well as residents. No statements against this increase in sales tax have been made despite attempts to add a “con” view to the Proposition 1 ballot. Vote yes for public safety and justice. Vote yes for Proposition One. Janet Alderton Orcas Island

No on sales tax to fund public safety I am voting no for a 3 percent sales tax increase to further bloat the prosecutors office. I believe in government but this tax is a terrible idea. The prosecutor’s office is already out of control wasting taxpayers money through “Prosecutorial Overreach.” They have improperly charged numerous people including myself using yours and mine tax dollars.

Orcas, from a grandmother’s perspective I have just enjoyed a great birthday and have been reminded of some of my past years on Orcas Island. In 1982, I moved to Orcas Island. Sometime later, one of my sons and his little family, a wife and baby, joined me on Orcas. I was involved with real estate and a few years later insurance. At times, visitors to the island would come into my office and the subject of living on such a small island would come about. A question most often asked was: “how can a child get a good education, be rounded in world events, etc., on such a small island? What is there here for them to do”? This now makes me laugh. I mean really laugh. I have seen four grandchildren grow up on Orcas Island, now ages 19 to 12. The four of them are pretty great kids. A lot of it is due to the hard work of the parents and a great deal is due to people in the education field, also members of the community, who have given their time and energy to help educate and teach our young people. Some of these kids, due to our local school or community private clubs, have traveled to the following

LETTERS FROM 4 countries as a result of what they have been involved with on Orcas Island: Africa, Brazil, Italy, Germany and all over the United States from the West Coast to the East Coast. Teachers in our schools have encouraged, helped, and cared for the education of each one. They need to be appreciated and thanked because they are part of the avenue taken by our young people for future success. Community people are involving themselves daily in activities for our young people and doing it for no praise, without pay and many times using their own money. How many communities have a “Funhouse” like ours? Not only does the school system need money but also the private clubs. Orcas Island Rowing Club seriously needs money for new equipment along with Orcas Sailing Club and The Funhouse to name a few. There are many other clubs that need help both with money and additional volunteers. A great big hardy THANK YOU from this grateful grandmother to all the people who are sidelined with the children of Orcas Island. Nancy Zier Orcas Island

Thank you from Farmers’ Market The Orcas Island Farmers’ Market would like to thank the Orcas Island Fire Department for coming out last Saturday to teach the community how to help save lives through using life saving chest compressions. All of the fire department volunteers were outstandingly, efficient, professional and knowledgeable. You continue to find new ways to serve our community. A special thank you to Bob Phalan for coordinating the event. Jennifer Pietsch Orcas Farmers’ Market

Clarification of letter about Referendum 74 In the May 23 issue of the Sounder, I wrote a letter in support of Washington’s marriage equality bill giving gay and lesbian couples the right to marry in state courts. The title of the letter was “Say No to Prop 74.” It has recently been brought to my attention that there is some confusion regarding Referendum 74 that will

appear on the November ballot. I hope this letter helps clarify the issue. The petition that I referred to in my letter solicited signatures to put the question of same sex marriage on the ballot, so that, as the signers hoped, it could be rejected. Now the referendum itself as quoted on the Washington State website www.sos.wa.gov reads as follows. “This bill would allow same-sex couples to marry … and preserve the right of clergy or religious organizations to refuse to perform, recognize, or accommodate any marriage ceremony.” The question we as voters have to answer is whether or not this bill should be “approved” or “rejected.” Therefore, the title of this letter should read “Say Yes to Ref. 74.” In my previous letter, I was arguing for the acceptance of homosexuals and respect for their mutual love and commitment. Here however, I am urging you to allow homosexuals the same rights to civil marriage that heterosexuals enjoy, that is to publicly acknowledge to the world that they are in permanent committed relationships that are legally recognized by civil society. And, to answer some objections I have heard, no, domestic partnerships don’t do the same. While some privileges are granted, the public acknowledgement of the marriage bond can never be equaled by a domestic partnership. Furthermore, note the second part of the bill. If your church, mosque or synagogue doesn’t wish to recognize such unions, it is not legally bound to do so. In other words all are free to exercise their conscience. I cannot understand how clear thinking responsible citizens can object to a bill granting all parties the freedom to live according to their conscience. Please approve Referendum 74 in November, for freedom’s sake. Maura O’Neill Eastsound

Questions over coal terminal story Nice puff piece for the anti-coal terminal crowd’s demand for an EIS to include the San Juan Islands. Is it really about environmental impact, or is it about widely discounted climate change (see James Lovelock interview at msnbc.com)? Then why cite Climate Solutions of Olympia as a source, an organization committed to “phasing out fossil fuels” and forcing everyone to

use expensive, inconvenient alternatives (from their website)? Does anyone else see the irony of placing this article next to one extolling the potential for eight(!) jobs via EDC scholarships, when Gateway Pacific predicts 4400 construction jobs, 1250 operating jobs, and $140,000,000 in local spending and taxes? Just wondering. Joe Davis Orcas Island

A wonderful, oldfashioned day I am writing to say a whole hearted “Thank You” to the Chamber of Commerce, and the Orcas Island Historical Museum for sponsoring and putting on a wonderful old fashioned day on the green July 4th. It was reminiscent of days gone by. So many people over the years have asked “What happened to our oldfashioned 4th of July.” It has sort of turned into a giant market on the Saturday. This year’s July 4th revisited the old fashioned family fun. The logging show was really great. All for the benefit and enjoyment of our community. Rich Harvey Logging LLC, and the Harvey Family shouldered all the expense and work setting up and performing for the show. If you see the Harveys, please give them some “good job” praise. They showed us selfless giving and a wonderful logging show event. It was a great day for the island. Hoping this can once again become an annual fun day tradition. Denise Wilk Orcas Island

To Dan Kenney Well Dan, you made it to 90 years old as you predicted when that loving, happy, friendly canine Buddy arrived in your life ten years ago. I remember that you said it to me in a grumpy way! He sure did perk you up Dan and we loved him for it! I remember Buddy and Blue, my cat as babies wrestling like puppies until the day Blue got too big for Buddy and fur flew! But they continued to be friends and would greet each other with a kiss on the nose. Those extra ten years were a blessing to all of us! Beatnik, artist, writer, sailor, WWII veteran, walker extraordinaire, renaissance man, elegant gentleman, intuitive, kind and compassionate friend. I have missed our countless fascinating conversations.

Oh, the last few years of your illness I missed your wonderful, quirky paintings! It was world class art that spoke to human nature ... it was so great! Gallant and true gentleman, 16-year neighbor and friend – we miss you and love you. Spirit Eagle Orcas Island

Get serious about cellphone abuse It is my understanding that the Sheriff ’s department is finally addressing drivers operating cellphones. It is about time, this is the most flagrant and disregarded traffic violation that is enforced by law enforcement everywhere. There are jurisdictions that issue citations ranging from $75 and up to $300. The “grace period” is long over for people to have made the adjustment to not operate a cellphone while driving. It is ludicrous that people insist on ignoring the existing law. I was turning left onto 2nd off Guard the other day and by the time I transgressed though the stop sign at Carter and Blair I observed four drivers using the cell-phone. It is amazing that you can see people exiting their driveway and be on the cellphone. If one was to monitor an intersection you might observe someone running a stop sign at the rate of about five to six miles an hour. In that same hour, you will observe more drivers on their cell-phone. And yes, you will observe the cellphone operator to also run the stop sign. My suggestion: have a “Zero Tolerance Day” for violators and issue citations, not warnings. I don’t doubt that it would result in 100 citations being issued within an eight-hour period. Deputies certainly have other things to do, but even a 30-minute devotion of a deputy’s shift would result in numerous citations being issued. If the local newspaper even published a warning as to this zero tolerance day it would still be ignored. Being issued a citation would have a sobering effect and even hearing about someone else receiving a citation will get the message across. Joe Caputo Friday Harbor

SHERIFF’S LOG

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

June 26: A pair of portable radios and a set of hands tools disappeared from the shop of a Lopez Island home as part of a string of recent burglaries in the Bakerview Road neighborhood. The contents of the shed were reportedly rifled through during the break-in. June 28: An outboard motor belonging to a Seattle couple vanished from their Lopez Island home in an apparent theft. Valued at $2,500, the 25 horse-power motor was attached to a boat at their Richardson Road home at the time it disappeared. July 3: A 19-year-old Battleground, Wash. man was arrested on alcohol-related charges following investigation of a late-night gettogether in Orcas Island’s Buck Park. Taken into custody shortly before midnight, the man was the only one of four people gathered at the park who reportedly had been drinking. July 4: Two Seattle men were slapped with tickets for unlawful possession of fireworks, and had their stockpile seized, after ignoring repeated warnings by Lopez Island firefighters about the county-wide ban. The two 23-year-olds were reportedly setting off fireworks in the 1400 block of Bayshore Road at about 11 p.m. when a deputy intervened. July 8: A tripod, a digital camera, four boxes of women’s clothing and two boxes filled with classic rock cassettes vanished in an apparent break-in of a home in the 6000 block of Orcas Road. Valued at $300, the household items reportedly disappeared sometime between noon and 7 p.m. July 11: A 6-foot tall flower stand was blown apart by high-powered fireworks in an apparent act of vandalism on Orcas Island. The stand, valued at $225 and located near the intersection of Enchanted Forest and Darvill Farm roads, reportedly was destroyed by someone that stuffed explo-

sives into several cans and then ignited the lot. • A half dozen warrants led to the arrest of a Orcs Island man following a midmorning complaint about traffic in the 7000 block of Orcas Road. The 27-yearold, reportedly wanted in connection with earlier incidents involving burglary, theft, trespassing and vandalism, was taken into custody at about 10:30 a.m. July 12: Clothes, a printer, a television and expensive totes vanished in an apparent home invasion on Orcas Island’s Scenic Lane. The homeowner dialed 911 after finding the faucet of her sink running and hearing the sound of someone rummaging through her bedroom. Someone reportedly got into the home through a small bathroom window. July 16: Excessive speed and an unpaid traffic ticket prompted the arrest of an Orcas Island man for driving with a suspended license following an early morning traffic stop near the intersection of Orcas and Dolphin Bay roads. The 20-yearold, pulled over at about 9 a.m., who reportedly had his license suspended for failure to pay a ticket, and was ticketed for speeding

This may be due to the fact that they are adept at sucking up sunlight. But food is not the ideal source. The best way to get vitamin D is from Mother Nature’s sunny rays. For Northwest residents, who don’t have the luxury of year-round sun, Russell suggests looking at labels to see what you may be getting already in your diet and to use a supplement if you’re not getting adequate vitamin D, especially in the wintertime. Russell said the current recommended daily allowance of vitamin D nationwide is 600 to 800

Organizers of the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District, which intends to run the Lopez transfer station have put the finishing IUs daily. “However, as we live in the northern part of the United States, the degree of sunlight that we receive would generally be less than other parts of the country, so I have generally recommended that adults here take between 1,000 and 2,000 IUs,” he said.

When is it enough? According to Steve Blake in his book “Vitamins and Minerals Demystified,” “Fifteen minutes of summer sun in a bathing suit makes an average of 20,000 IUs of vitamin D—100 times the adequate daily intake. Since vitamin D is stored for long periods, this may be enough vitamin D to last for 100 days.” C.F. Garland wrote in the British Medical Journal that the storage form of mend removing and disposing of small debris items such as Styrofoam, plastic bottles or small appliances.

Proposition 1—Public Safety Sales Tax To

Preserve County Public Safety Services RCW 82.14.450 authorizes counties to propose an increase in the local sales tax of 3/10 of one percent for Public Safety purposes. The San Juan County Council unanimously proposed this sales tax measure to the voters prior to adopting the 2013 Budget. After 4 years of cuts to County services and staff, without voter approval of the Public Safety Sales Tax, additional cuts will be required to Public Safety and other essential County services including: Sheriff, Prosecuting Attorney, Courts, Emergency Management, Public Health, Roads and others. If authorized by voters, per State law, the funds would be split 60% for preservation of County Public Safety services and 40% to the Town of Friday Harbor for Town Public Safety services. San Juan County’s sales tax rate would remain among the lowest in the Puget Sound Region.

The Public Safety Sales Tax would add 30 cents to the purchase of $100 worth of taxable* goods.

Includes Proposed Public Safety Sales Tax

* Groceries, medicine, prescription drugs, automobile purchases are exempt.

*Sales taxes charged within all incorporated areas of Skagit County are higher than the proposed San Juan County rate.

touches on both a budget and a proposed tax package, responding to intense questions from the county council. It will be reviewed by the council on July 24. “We’re very confident that the budget and tax proposal is solid,” said Larry Eppenbach, Lopez district board member. “We’ve done this right. We asked the people of Lopez to trust us, and we know we have to continue building that trust.” Unless the council balks at the numbers, the coun-

cil will send the group’s tax proposal, a 9.5 cents per 1,000 property tax levy, to the elections office for the November ballot. If approved, the increase would raise $100,000 of the total $414,577 budget. Steve Werhly contributed to this story.

vitamin D has a half-life of approximately three weeks, so people in northern latitudes become deficient by December if they are relying solely on the sun for their vitamin D. That’s when they can start supplements. But residents of sunny climates are also commonly found to be deficient in vitamin D, due to cultural habits and/or dress, according to the Mayo Clinic study.

Martin Mittelstaedt, author of “The Vitamin D Miracle: Is It For Real?” recommends applying sunscreen after spending five or 10 minutes in the midday sun, then apply as normally directed. This brief amount of exposure is enough to synthesize a few weeks’ worth of vitamin D. Mittelstaedt says, “the benefits of modest sun exposure in preventing serious, hard-to-treat cancers outweighs that risk.” But Russell’s opinion is this conclusion should be made on a much more of a personal, case by case situation. “Weighing the risk and benefit of additional sunlight exposure versus vitamin D supplementation is a topic best taken up individually with a person’s doctor,” he said.

Some of the risks Shinstrom said 15 to 20 minutes of sun a day will provide adequate vitamin D, so supplements are unnecessary. He added this amount of time “is not a sufficient exposure to raise a concern about skin cancer. Having this sun exposure is a good reason, in addition to several others, to go for your daily walk.” a safe place, take photos to note the location, and email the information to disasterdebreis@noaa.gov.

He was born in the small northern Minnesota town of Goodland on December 14, 1924. He graduated from high school at Grand Rapids, Minnesota in June of 1942. Leslie volunteered for service in the United States Army Air Corps in 1943 and received his Pilot Wings and commissioned Lieutenant in March of 1945.

Music program Many at the meeting voiced concern about reductions to the music program. The board’s suggestion of combining the middle and high school band and strings program was not well received. “The program would go backward,” said music teacher Martin Lund. “It would be essentially a oneroom school house.” Another solution would be to keep the groups separate but cut down the amount of time each class gets with a teacher. “Music is one of those things that’s cumulative, year after year, and it builds confidence,” Kutsche said. “Combining the classes will lose kids on both ends.

In June, an anonymous donor gave the booster club a $10,000 matching grant to pay for fall sports. While the goal hasn’t been yet been met, the school is assuming it will be. “I am positive the grant will be matched,” Kline said. Past the fall, nothing is paid for in the athletic pro-

Summit Learning Center opens at top of Mt. Constitution on Orcas by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter

The Summit Learning Center’s walls are adorned with colorful images of nature and there is a distinctive woody smell like tree bark soaked in sunlight. Kokanee salmon fry swim in a large tank, newts crawl in a mossy sanctuary and pictures of native birds are everywhere. “They are so cute,” says one tourist as Justin Hull shows off the newt’s bright orange belly. Hull, a summer intern, is one of the many staff members and volunteers running the newly opened Summit Learning Center. It is located at the top of the Mt. Constitution, a 2,409-foot-high peak that is an international travel destination at Moran State Park. The center opened Memorial Day weekend after the Friends of Moran noticed, over the years, that visitors wanted to know more about the park, said Michel Vekved, president of the non-profit. “The learning center gives us the opportunity to reach out to visitors and have a place to invite them in to learn more,” she said. “The Summit Learning Center has been incredibly successful.

Friends’ hosts coal lecture Friends of the San Juans hosts lecture on Montana’s political and environmental positions in the coal economy, Friday, Aug. 3, 5-6:30 p.m. at Emmanuel Episcopal Church. The speaker is Dr. Claudia Oakes, an environmental consultant and faculty member at Montana State

University. The lecture will also cover information on the proposed coal terminal in Cherry Point, which would export 48 million tons of coal annually, said Friends. “The 21st Century has ushered in a new era of unsustainable coal extraction and exploitation in

Montana – with a projected four-fold increase in coal shipments from Montana to Washington state, and then to Asia,” said Oakes. “This new trading nexus will dwarf any of the previous century, and entangle Montana and the Pacific Northwest in a Saudi Arabian-style web of political and economic

Page 11

dependencies and environmental consequences that will result in long-term environmental damage and conflict.” The August presentation will focus on the available and untapped coal resources in Montana and how the state and the coal industry are collaborating to sell the Montana coal export economy in Washington and Asia.

Actors Theater on SAN JUAN Orcas needs new seats SJI INSURANCE For the past ten years, the Actors Theater has been using seats donated to them third hand by a theater in Monroe.

The Actors Theater has $3,000 to spend on the seating, leaving a balance of $15,000 to raise. Bob and Phyllis Henigson stepped in and pledged $10,000 if the Actors Theater is able to raise the remaining $5,000. Anyone donating $150 or more will receive a brass plaque on the back of a seat with the donors’ name. For $300 you can have your name on two seats. You can also donate a seat “in memory of ...” Donations can be mailed to The Actors Theater of Orcas Island, P.O. Box 1198, Eastsound, WA 98245.
