The grand old fair

School puts $11.9 million bond on ballot by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher

t was a wild four days of competition, sun, fried food and amusement rides at the San Juan County Fair last week. In political news, Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) addressed local Democrats at the fair on Friday. Cantwell recalled she was back where it all began in 2000, when she first ran for the Senate against Slade Gorton. A few months later, she won that underdog campaign by 229 votes. Twelve years later, in the 2012 primary, she out-polled Republican Sen. Michael Baumgartner by more than 352,000 votes, a margin of over 25 points in the eight-candidate primary. Cantwell greeted supporters individually before delivering brief remarks reassuring voters that local issues are on her mind. From honorable mention to grand champion, islanders shone in a myriad of fair categories. Whether you are young or old, let us know how you did.

It’s been a long time coming. After two failed bond measures, the school is hoping its new $11.9 million building renovation plan will win over Orcas Island voters. “This is not just an obligation, this is the most accountable way to use funds,” said Clyde Duke, who was vocal about his lack of support of the previous bond measures. He served on a committee of local contractors who helped shape a new direction for the middle school buildings, which are in most need of repair. “This is now something that the community will understand and live with. It meets the needs of the staff, students and the community,” Duke said. The architectural firm Mahlum has designed a concept that keeps the existing foundation and calls for extensive remodel work in the middle school, library and cafeteria. In addition, a satellite building will be constructed for tech education. That site will also be used to house students during the school year when construction is taking place, which Mahlum architect Butch Reifert says will eliminate the expense of portable classrooms. As superintendent Barbara Kline put it: the buildings constructed in the 1980s are falling apart. The current issues are rotting siding, little insulation, a heating system that is in disrepair and structures that don’t meet ADA or seismic code requirements. Reifert also wants the rooms to be open and full of light. “There are a lot of studies about the impact of daylight and its relationship to teaching and learning,” he said. The $11.9 million bond is for 20 years. The terms are 26 cents per thousand. The bond interest rate will be determined when they are sold, but the school is currently estimating 4 percent. If approved in November, the tax will go into

effect in 2013, but the bonds can be sold as soon as the measure is approved. “Interest rates are at an all-time low right now,” Duke said. “We need to take advantage of that.”

The history The school’s initial bond, for $35 million, was put before voters in February 2010. The resolution earned 55 percent support, shy of the 60 percent super majority needed for approval. The school board reduced the project’s scope in the hope it would garner more votes. Six months later, in August 2010, voters rejected a $27 million bond. The vote was 1,059 yes, 1,234 no. Letters to the Sounder evidenced a hot debate. Many said the monthly cost was within reason and thought the bond amount necessary, urging support. Some balked at the enormity of the bond during tough economic times, and

The water comes from deep well water sources on Orcas and is refined through a dual filter process and UV lighting system. Kirk and Paula are longtime island residents who met on Orcas Island in the late 1980s and married in 1990. They raised two daughters Joanie and Lynda, who both still reside on Orcas. Kirk has been employed by Island Excavating for many years and is known by locals as just “Captain.” In 2006 Paula became involved in the water industry when she was hired by

School garden is expanding Killer whales spotted off Orcas by Madie Murray

Farm to Cafeteria Program

As many know, our school garden is in the process of expanding to approximately 8,000 square feet. So far, all the posts, fencing, wood chips and a lot of hard work has been thoughtfully donated to make it happen. As a community devoted to its school and its children, this overwhelming outpouring of support is enviable to everyone who learns about the Orcas Island Farm to Cafeteria Program and the school garden. Because of our community’s generosity, two very exciting new items will be added to our school garden within the next few months: a weather station and a rainwater catchment system. Thanks to grants from the Orcas Master Gardeners, the Orcas Island Garden Club and the Fidelis Women’s Circle, a weather station and related lesson plans will be implemented so kids in Mandy Randolph’s K-6 Farm to Classroom can have some real hands-on experiences and studies about the weather. Building a rainwater catchment system is a little more complicated and time consuming, but preparations are being made to construct an area to support a 4,999 holding tank that will catch water off of the covered play area roof. Money to purchase the tank has been donated by new Orcas Island resident Dave Abrams, who is also assisting

with design ideas for the garden and the water delivery system. Additional financial assistance is being made possible with the help of Danna Kinsey, former graduate of the public school and currently the Natural Resources Planner for the San Juan Islands Conservation District. According to Danna, it appears our project could be reimbursed up to 50 percent of the total cost under the state’s funding for water conservation projects. Friday Harbor resident Tim Pope, who is past president and current education coordinator of the American Rainwater Catchment Systems Association, is helping us with the design, procurement of equipment and installation. The tank installation will occur prior to the rainy season so it can begin catching water this year, and the rest of the system should be installed in time to use that water for next summer’s crop in the garden.

Discussion continues over future of Orcas transfer station by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter

In July, the Vendor Selection Committee released a report on the Orcas Island solid waste transfer station, stating that both bidders, Cimarron Trucking Company and Orcas Recycling Services, operator of the Exchange, had proposals that were lacking information. “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 address key inadequacies,” read the proposal. But at a July 24 council meeting, Cimarron and ORS were both asked to clarify problems and inadequacies in their proposals. And the committee scheduled a meeting on Aug. 17 to discuss follow-up questions and whether they should change the original recommendation. Among the 17 questions for Cimarron, key topics included how they would incorporate the Exchange and improve communication. ORS was asked 15 questions on such topics

as: experience, the business model and start-up funds. At the Friday meeting, the committee – consisting of councilwoman Patty Miller, Russ Harvey of solid waste, Jeff Strothers and Lisa Byers of Orcas Island – discussed how the county could enter a contract with both bidders. Cimarron proposed that they would run the solid waste portion and ORS could handle recycling and the Exchange. Miller said it “seems like a logical split.” ORS proposed that they would manage all on-site operations and Cimarron run the long-haul trailer service and equipment, and the disposal, delivery of garbage and recyclables to end points on the mainland. Overall, committee members stated they had hoped for more clarification from both parties in their proposals. The committee did not come to consensus. Two members suggested splitting the services, one

member recommended moving forward with ORS, and another recommended Cimarron. The county council held a meeting on Aug. 21, after the Sounder went to press, for a possible action on the vendor selection. For more info on the story, visit www. islandssounder.com.

Transient orcas known as the T-36’s are somewhat regular visitors to the islands any time of the year, said Tom Averna, of Deer Harbor Charters. Last Wednesday, he watched as they came half way in to Eastsound past Rosario and after spending some time milling and lots of display activity they headed back out. Later in the evening they were seen off of Deer Harbor, where the photo at

orca here are the transients can be anywhere anytime of year,” Averna said.

The competition for the contract to operate the Orcas transfer station may have spurred interest in operating the Sutton Road/ Sundstrom property transfer station. On Aug. 8, five prospective contractors attended a pre-proposal conference and tour of the transfer station and adjacent countyowned property. Public Works Director Frank Mulcahy described the turnout as “great” and hopes to receive proposals from all five potential contractors. Cimarron Trucking, the present hauler of solid waste from the Orcas station, and a bidder for the contract to operate the Orcas facility, attended the San Juan Island meeting. Cimarron President Blair Estenson said his attention is currently focused on the company's bid on the Orcas solid waste transfer station, but that the San Juan Island site

“has potential,” even though modifications might be required. Torrey Lautenbach of Mount Vernon-based Lautenbach Recycling said his company is “somewhat interested.” Lautenbach currently operates out of a recently opened facility next to the Skagit County transfer station, and is already transporting solid waste from Point Roberts for recycling and disposal at its

Skagit headquarters. Waste-to-gas conversion company Kentec Energy USA is “certainly interested,” according to Calvin Mordy, a technical consultant for the Lynwood-based subsidiary of Kentec Energy Korea. Also checking out the Sutton Road station was Consignment Treasures and Black Family Enterprises of San Juan Island. Proposals are due at Public Works by Oct. 1.

Students deserve a school library

e are profoundly sad to hear that the school’s library has been closed due to budget cuts. Last time we checked, reading was one of the cornerstones of education. For young people to have access to a school library filled with a variety of age-appropriate books is a gift that all children should have. The library has two staff members. A librarian, who is paid $26,991, and a library technician, whose wages are $12,903. We wish there could be a fundraising effort for this – the way there has been for the athletic programs. Thanks to community donations and a matching grant, kids will play fall sports this year. Last year, the school reduced its library hours. We felt that was a reasonable action to help trim the budget. But closing it entirely? Cultivating a love and appreciation for reading is critical part of the educational process. Providing a quiet place, on campus, for kids to study and research is valuable. Closing the library sends a message to students that reading is not crucial to the educational process. The only saving grace is that we have an exemplary public library a few blocks from the school. We hope our kids and teachers take advantage of what it has to offer. We also hope that something will be done to reopen the doors of a very important building.

To the Editor: Vote no on Charter Propositions Charter Review Proposition 2 proposes that county council members manage the operations of the county. In 2005, the Freeholders heard testimony that the very system that Prop 2 is proposing was badly flawed and that we needed a separation of powers like we have at the state and national levels. The present commission says that separation of powers is an “overreaction” and wants us to return to the system where department heads would have a multi-headed boss. How many bosses would you like to work for? One is usually plenty. The commission itself admits that the structure they are recommending could be problematic: the elimination of the “artificial separation of powers” between individual council members and staff could expose staff to direct supervision by council members. Such direct supervision in the past has on occasion placed inappropriate pressure upon department heads and staff, resulting in impairment rather than improvement of their performance. The commission claims it has “solved” the problem by requiring that: No individual county council member shall direct or discipline, or threaten to direct or discipline, any county employee, whether department head, supervisor, or volunteer, unless such direction or disciplinary action, or warning concerning such direction or disciplinary action, has first been duly approved by a majority of the county council. Anyone who has worked in any organization knows that such a “rule” has no real meaning. We all know who our bosses are. We know that bosses can make our lives miserable if they choose to do so (whether they vote on it or not) and we don’t want to get fired by ticking any of them off. It is, at best, naive to think that department heads and staff will not be intimidated and confused if they have multiple bosses. That was what the freeholders successfully addressed in 2005 when they

proposed the present system of separation of powers which we voted to approve. The freeholders got this one right back in 2005. Let’s not recreate a problem they corrected. Our present structure has many checks and balances that will allow a new county administrator and our new and incumbent council members to make it work. Please vote NO on Charter Review Props 1 and 2! Art Lange Orcas Island

Vote no on charter propositions 1 and 2 We write as community members to express concerns about the Charter Review Propositions on the upcoming ballot. We urge you to vote “No” on both propositions 1 and 2, and here is why. Charter Review Proposition 1 recommends that we switch to county-wide elections. Countywide campaigns now cost about $50,000; our present elections by district make campaigning more affordable. How many can afford to run for office if it cost $50,000 to be a viable candidate? The money must be raised somewhere. To move to county wide campaigns could restrict campaigning to those supported by members of well-funded, well-organized special interest groups -- and there are many in San Juan County of different persuasions. Many good potential candidates would not be able to run. This has already hapMailing/Street Address P.O.

LETTERS FROM 4 Rowing Team, which helps us move all those hundreds of boxes of books. I estimate that over 10,000 books went home with local and visiting readers on this single day. I think that the arrangement with the Farmers’ Market worked out well for everyone. I hope that they too feel good about the Fair. I also hope that the local businesses fared well, despite the inevitable challenges in routing traffic. What a terrific social and revenue-producing community event! I would hate to think of life on Orcas without the Friends and the annual Library Fair. Phil Heikkinen Director, Orcas Island Library

Nothing to fear over Critical Areas Ordinance Some organizations have spread fear about what you will be able to do with your property under the proposed Critical Areas Ordinance. In reality, the proposed buffers will generally be the same or smaller than current wetland buffers. For a parcel draining to a wetland with the highest sensitivity rating, you would only have the largest buffer if you paved your entire property, excluding the buffer, with asphalt or concrete. Green development options and reduced buffer sizes in the Urban Growth Areas would make development more flexible. To understand the impact of the proposed buffers, councilman Rich Peterson arranged field trips to properties owned by concerned citizens. One property’s buffer would be the same size as the current wetland buffer. The other property’s wetland buffer would be at least 10 feet less than the current buffer width of 75 feet. Along the shoreline, one property owner could build on their preferred site under the proposed regulations. For a second shoreline parcel, the house could be sited closer to the water than the current setback of 50 feet. Pruning of trees in buffers for view enhancement and fire fuel reduction would be allowed under the proposed regulations. Visiting real properties allayed the concerns of the property owners that the CAO update would

interfere with their plans. Over time, buffer sizes have been shrinking as the CAO update has progressed from the planning commission and through the County Council. The newest draft is filled with the phrases, “To allow property owners to maximize the use of their land...” and “To provide property owners with maximum flexibility in the use of their land...” What follows are uses that will compromise the functions of wetlands and their buffers. For example, septic systems would be permitted in both wetlands and their buffers. See page 55, part W of the August 21, 2012 draft wetlands ordinance 2012-86 at: http://www.sanjuanco. com/cao/documents.aspx Along our shorelines many houses could be sited closer to the water under the proposed regulations. The current regulations are a 50-foot setback with screening by trees or a 100-foot setback without trees between the house and the shoreline. Current shoreline setbacks measure from the “top of the bank,” but the proposed regulations measure the buffer from the “Ordinary High Water Mark.” Because the “Ordinary High Water Mark” is closer to the water than the “top of the bank,” houses could be sited closer to the water than currently permitted. For parcels without trees to screen the house, our views of the shoreline from the water would become increasingly cluttered. The proposed Critical Areas Ordinance update would not result in buffers that are larger than our existing wetland buffers except in unusual cases, such as paving most of a parcel with asphalt or concrete. Buffers should be undisturbed areas with native vegetation. But the numerous activities permitted in buffers by the proposed Critical Area Ordinance update interfere with buffer function and fail to protect our valuable Critical Areas.

Goodbye to Greg Ewert The Lopez and San Juan Islands’ community lost a good man, a good friend and a leader a few days ago. We also lost a role model educator, who epitomized what education should be about. We owe our friend Greg Ewert our deepest

www.ISLANDSSOUNDER.com

gratitude for consistently and unflinchingly showing us what good teaching, good schools, and education in general should be. Our sincere sympathies and condolences go out to Greg’s family, as well as our appreciation and humble thanks for sharing Greg with us all these years. Right up to the end, Greg was a stalwart advocate of public education and the education of the whole child. Greg modeled what that looked like in his long teaching career on Lopez. He showed us that an education of the soul, of the spirit, and most importantly, of the imagination, was the most critical element of a good school. Greg’s love of nature, the arts, and the creative, emotional, and environmental intelligences came through loudly and clearly in his teaching. His dedication to the powerful impact of hands-on learning was epitomized in his many outdoor, experiential learning opportunities he provided to his students, the school, and the community. Whether it was hiking a coastal beach in the rain, playing table-tennis with middle-school youth, organizing week-long experiential alternative learning weeks at school, or leading students in service in Nicaragua, Greg’s impact upon the education of our Lopez youth was immeasurable. Greg educated for life, not just the state assessment du-jour. As a result, Greg helped Lopez School continue its mission of nurturing life-long learners with a passion and the tools for changing the world. Greg’s legacy will live on in the community support and commitment to our Lopez School that Greg worked so hard to help develop, never took for granted, and for which he was continuously grateful. As one small token of appreciation and as a lasting reminder of his influence on our school and our community, the school board has approved the naming of Greg’s beloved middle school commons as “Greg Ewert Commons.” A carved wooden sign will be erected soon to further remind people of his legacy. Goodbye old friend, and thank you for your educational leadership and love of the unbridled spirit of young people. Bill Evans Lopez School Superintendant

SHERIFF’S LOG

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

July 20: Falling debris from an unsecured load prompted the arrest of a San Juan Island man for a series of driving offenses. The 29-year-old, pulled over on Boyce Road at about 9 a.m., was taken into custody for driving without a license and identification, and without a court-ordered interlock device. He was pulled over for allowing large chunks of roofing material to spill onto the roadway from the trailer that he was pulling at the time. July 25: A San Juan Island man claims someone removed two oil filters off a heavy piece of construction machinery, which caused its engine seize up, in an apparent act of vandalism. The engine is expected to cost $9,000 to repair. July 29: A San Juan Island man claims someone broke into his cabin and made off with 24 bottles of booze and a couple bottles of red wine. The value of the missing stockpile of liquor, stored in the 59-year-old’s Wai Mala Lane cabin, is valued at nearly $900. • A San Juan Island woman was arrested for driving with a suspended license after being pulled over near the intersection of Spring and West Streets for driving without a seatbelt. The 54-year-old reportedly failed to pay a $12 ticket and was unaware that her license had been suspended. July 31: A high-speed collision on Bailer Hill Road prompted the arrest of a San Juan Island man for DUI in mid-afternoon. The 53-yearold reportedly didn’t see and failed to stop for another driver traveling through the intersection at False Bay Road, and clipped the backside of that car at a highrate of speed. Both drivers escaped the crash without serious injury. • A familiar face and a pair of warrants prompted the arrest of an Orcas Island man who spent the last year with a relative in California. The 24-year-old, arrested twice in 2011 for DUI and a no-show in court on either charge a year ago, was taken into custody one week after his island return. Aug. 1: A 16-year-old San Juan Island boy was ticketed for driving too fast for conditions after driving head-on into a tree near the intersection of Cessna Avenue and Tarted Road. The boy claims that he lost control of his pickup while swerving to avoid a deer.

• A car stereo, a flashlight, hand tools and a couple of Rice Crispy Treats are among the missing items from a San Juan Island woman’s car following an apparent latenight break-in on Warbass Way. Someone reportedly ransacked the sedan’s interior and carried off $1,800 of equipment, tools and personal belongings. • A call from a San Juan Island homeowner about suspicious behavior of two men and a woman, all in their mid-20s, led to the arrest of a 24-year-old Friday Harbor man for DUI. Tracked down by the license number of his pickup, the man was taken into custody in the parking area of Jackson’s Beach at about 6 p.m. He also faces burglary charges involving an earlier break-in and theft at a Bailer Hill Road home. Aug. 4: A yard tractor vanished from an Orcas Island barn in an apparent case of theft. The 42-inch tractor, valued at $900, was one of two tractors stored in the barn, which reportedly was unlocked at the time the tractor theft, in the 100 block of Sea Acres Road. Aug. 5: A late-night traffic stop prompted the arrest of a San Juan Island for DUI. The 44-year-old, who was pulled over near the intersection of Roche Harbor Road and Three Meadows Lane for a traffic violation – unidentified in the incident report, was taken into custody shortly before 1 a.m. • Two San Juan Island men had their three water blasters confiscated after using one to douse a man strolling along the end of his Pear Point Road driveway unsuspectingly. Caught by surprise, the man, recuperating from a recent knee surgery, reportedly aggravated the wounded knee further when he was struck by a blast of water. Rather than pressing charges, he thought a lecture was in order. The two men, targeting unwary strangers

as they drove around in a pickup in mid-afternoon, reportedly believed that the man appeared in need of being cooled down and questioned whether spraying someone with water was a punishable activity. • Allegations of assault led to the arrest of a San Juan Island man who reportedly set fire to a household item on the porch at his Tucker Avenue when an officer arrived to question him about an earlier altercation at the home. The 25-yearold, accused of attacking his mother, reportedly lunged at the officer as he attempted to put out the fire. He faces charges of assault, reckless burning, resisting arrest, vandalism and interfering with a report of domestic violence. • Use of a cellphone while driving prompted the arrest of a man from Kent following an early evening traffic stop in Friday Harbor. The 25-year-old, who was pulled over near the intersection of Guard Street and Tucker Avenue at about 7:30 p.m., was issued a criminal citation for driving with a suspended license. Aug. 6: Two men caught rummaging through the inventory of a San Juan Island commercial recycling center in the predawn hours face charges of theft and criminal trespass. The men, a Bellingham 37-year-old and a Friday Harbor 30-year-old, were taken into custody at the center in the 6000 block of Roche Harbor Road shortly before 3 a.m. Aug. 7: An early morning snooze along the side of the road prompted the arrest of an Orcas Island man for DUI. The 46-yearold, who was taken into custody in the 400 block of Mount Constitution Road at about 8 a.m., was reportedly asleep behind the wheel of his Buick Regal, with the engine running, when a park ranger happened by.

SCHOOL FROM 1 wanted the improvements broken down into smaller, phased projects, or argued for repair, not a complete rebuild. But there was light at the end of the tunnel. In 2011, the school received energy grants for improvements to the elementary building and the siding of the high school. The elementary work, which included a single unit heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, motion control heat and lighting, and replacing the galvanized plumbing with copper pipes, was completed before the start of the 2011 school year. The high

school siding work started this summer and will be done in mid-fall. The grant money was matched by local donors and a loan from Cashmere Bank. The school paid back its loan this year with money from a $1 million, one-year capital projects levy approved by voters in November. The levy expires at the end of 2012. “We checked off some of the repair items on our list,” Kline said. “Now we need to revamp these other buildings. We’re doing it holistically.” The school has experienced budget problems in the last two years due to reductions in state fund-

ing. In addition to cutting the athletic program (the Booster Club has raised enough for fall sports), advanced placement physics is not funded, part of the middle school music program was cut and the library is closed for the school year. Those reductions could be reinstated if a donor steps forward. Nonetheless, Kline is confident about the future. “By next year, we will be much more stable. We are expecting growth in enrollment and stabilization in state funding,” she said. “With these state cuts, we’ve learned how to survive within our means. We’ve shifted staff around from some programs with fewer students to other programs with more students.”

Guest column

‘No’ to charter review amendments by COLIN MAYCOCK

To administer or not, that is the question. This November the voters of San Juan County will be asked to vote for changes to the charter that governs the county. The provision to grant administrative or executive power back to the county council is the most worrisome of the proposed changes and should be considered carefully before you cast your vote. That power was removed from the council when the

charter was adopted and for good reason. Under the old board of county commissioners system the commissioners had the authority to direct (i.e. meddle with) county staff and their management and, unsurprisingly, the direction from the commissioners was often politically or personally motivated, usually unethical, and often illegal which, from time to time, led directly to costly law suits that the county inevitably lost with the taxpayers left

The Sons of the American Legion members are men that have served in the military in non-war periods or who have a parent or grandparent who has served during recognized military action periods. The Sons host various fundraisers throughout the year to give help and support to the community and the post. Some of these events have been bingo, outpost barbecues and dinners. Each year they make two trips to the mainland to purchase shoes for Orcas children.

The American Legion Post #93 is holding a membership drive on Saturday, Aug. 25 at the post home on 793 Crescent Beach Drive from 4 a.m. – 10 p.m. The public is invited to visit the post and talk with members of the Post, Auxiliary and Sons units. The American Legion post members are veterans who have served in the military during recognized military action periods. They are active in providing support to veterans and the various organizations that provide services to the veterans. They also award scholarships each year to graduating seniors. Their major fundraisers are the annual Fishing Derby and the annual Turkey Shoot. They also host the monthly Pancake Breakfast. The American Legion Auxiliary members are wives, mothers, grandmothers, daughters, granddaughters, great granddaughters, and sisters of veterans eligible to belong to an American Legion Post. Their main fundraisers are the Turkey Shoot dinner and the Christmas Bazaar and Basket Raffle. These events provide the funds for such local projects as Kaleidoscope, Orcas Island Mercy Flight Fuel Fund and Orcas Rec Program, as well as for the veteran support activities Veterans Hospital Gift Shops, Fisher Houses, USOs, and Canteen Books. The Auxiliary also has an

to bear the costs of the commissioners’ rash decisions. The target, or benefit, of the commissioners’ direction to staff depended on the spectrum of favorability on which the matter stood. In some cases decisions were made, based not on equal or just application of the code but solely to serve the narrow purposes of the commissioners. Often the commissioners used departments and staff as proxies in their own internecine rivalries and disagreements, with one commissioner demanding a specific result from staff on one day while another commissioner would demand an opposite and mutually exclusive result the following day. If the staff stood their ground and made the proper decision they were then vigorously targeted for termination. Needless to say this led to an institutional paralysis as staff sought BOCC approval for the most minor of administrative tasks and governance ground to a halt in San Juan County. The explicit corruption of this type of meddling

became so repugnant that an outcry from the community arose with the ultimate outcome being the adoption of the county charter that added what was expected to be an independent and professional county administrator responsible for the day to day operation of the county business leaving the responsibility of legislation to the council. The Unions deepest concern is that once again county staff will be subject to the ever changing political and personal views of the council. The county staff ’s duty is to carry out the public’s business without regard to political affiliation or socioeconomic status; something staff endeavors to do despite the occasional controversy. For the time being the public and the county staff has an administrator to stand between them and what ultimately could be (we say could, but we truly mean the inevitable) pressure and coercion to inequitably apply the county code. The past interference of the BOCC into the day to day operation of the county was an unmitigated disaster

for the public, and a progenitor of a hostile work place for county staff. It was failure then, it would be a failure this time, and we STRONGLY recommend that you think deeply about the implications that accompany returning

administrative powers to the county council and vote NO on that amendment. Colin Maycock, is president of Local 1849 and senior planner with San Juan County.

Thomas plays his mentors’ music by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter

Jazz legend Willie Thomas is 81 years old, but he said that doesn’t stop him from learning daily. Thomas networks and teaches students using Skype and his website and plays for his own amusement and amazement at

least an hour each day. “I consider myself still evolving and developing as a player,” Thomas said. And after a two-year break from performing on the island, the trumpet master be back on stage in “Tribute To The Masters” at Orcas Center, Sunday, Sept. 2 at 7:30 p.m.

“It’s sort of a living tribute to my mentors and role models,” said Thomas, whose professional career spans 45 years of performing with such jazz greats as the Woody Herman Orchestra, the Al Belletto Sextet, the Slide Hampton Octet with Freddie Hubbard and George Coleman, singer

Peggy Lee and many more. He is affectionately known as “Uncle Willie” to many of his colleagues and fans. He will be joined by vocalist Gail Pettis, multiinstrumentalist Jay Thomas, pianist John Hansen, bassist Jon Hamar and drummer Tony Morales. Special guest artists are Martin Lund, Steve Alboucq and Willie’s young jazz violinists, “Take 3” – Christian Bailey, Paris Wilson and Matthew LasloWhite. While talking about the upcoming show, Thomas expresses not only love for jazz, but muses on the creation of music itself and the life lessons it teaches. “Tribute To The Masters” presents the music of Thomas’ generation, a time that is losing its eyewitnesses on a daily and weekly basis, he said. But even though the people of that era may be gone, the music lives on, evolving just like Thomas has over the ages. “Everything changes, change is good, it’s what life is all about, and the changes have been not so great as one might think,” he said. The heart of rock and roll and pop music is based on Try our MOBILE APP Search for "The Sounder" on your smart phone!

Thomas still spends most nights with a cup of tea and a Charlie Parker album. Tickets are available at Darvills’ Bookstore and online at brownpapertickets.com.

hen little Jack, a Shiba Inu mix, went under the knife, it was spay/neuter number 1,001 at the Orcas Animal Shelter. It’s quite a milestone for a facility that doesn’t have a full-time vet on staff. Dr. Joe Gaydos has been spending one night a week at the shelter since 2003, just a year after it first opened. “If you consider that Joe comes once a week – with a few missed due to his travel schedule – for only three hours, this is an amazing accomplishment that has made the difference for the success of our shelter,” said shelter manager Marsha Waunch. It appears to have made a difference for the local Colleen Smith Armstrong/staff photos animal population as well.

Thurston Wolfe wine tasting and educational class Thurston Wolfe, the 2012 Northwest Winery of the Year, will offer an educational wine class as a fundraiser for the Orcas Animal Shelter on Sunday, Sept. 2 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the senior center.

Dr. Wade Wolfe, founder of Thurston Wolfe with his wife Becky Yeaman, will share a 35-year insider’s look at the history of wine in Washington state. After receiving his doctorate in viticulture from UC Davis he arrived at Chateau Ste Michelle as their viticulturist in 1978. He and his wife founded the winery 25 years ago and in addition to being chosen as the Northwest

Humane Society and Cats Meow in Anacortes,” Waunch said. During his day job, Gaydos is director of the local nonprofit SeaDoc Society, a division of the University of California, Davis that works to ensure the health of marine ecosystems through research and education. Every year, the organization hosts interns from the university’s veterinary program. Gaydos likes to bring them along to the shelter for exposure to small animal procedures. Current interns Christine Parker and Karisa Tang have spent a lot of their summer tagging and monitoring harbor seal pups with the San Juan County Marine Mammal Stranding Network. Parker and Tang, both third year vet students who want to go into aquatic animal medicine, say Gaydos is the best boss ever. They’ve done necropsies, learned the process of research, and “what it takes to be a wildlife vet” in the areas of networking and development. “We’ve been keeping a list of all the life lessons Joe has taught us,” laughed Tang. “He’s taught us to fix and dock a boat, use a drill, kill a crab, drive a stick shift, train a dog and how to cook.” The interns brought their dogs to Orcas for what they described as their summer of soul rejuvenation. Their canines, Logan and Orsino, are “shelter mutts” who get along famously. Winery of the Year for 2012, the Washington wine industry recognized Wade as the 2010 Honorary Grower. As part of the class, the winemaker will use four different wines to explain how the vineyards and the varietals give the wines their special characteristics. Tickets are $25 a person.

Lecture about Washington during Civil War In lieu of its regularly scheduled History Matinee, the Orcas Museum will sponsor a talk by Lorraine McConaghy on Friday, August 24 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Lundeen Room of the Orcas Senior Center. Her topic will be “Washington Territory during the Antebellum and Civil War Eras.” contributed photo

Left: George Pickett was commander of American forces on San Juan Island.

As the nation commemorated the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War, McConaghy curated an exhibit called “Blue vs. Gray: Civil War in the Pacific Northwest,” which revealed the influences of that conflict as a “war of issues” in which the political leaders and residents of Washington Territory fully participated. As she is a member of the Humanities Washington speakers bureau, this lecture is provided free of charge.

Actors Theatre presents the play ‘Torso’ The Actors Theater of Orcas Island will present seven performances of the play “Torso” by Seattle playwright Keri Healey. “Torso” is one of five plays nominated for an award in Seattle as the Outstanding New Play of 2012. This play received its first production in Seattle in March and this will be the second production of this exciting new play. The Actors Theater production of “Torso” features Aaimee Johnson as Daphne, Zach Knight as Eddie, Gillian Smith as Marlo, Tom Gossett as Dominick and Cara Russell as Tina. The play is a dark, riveting and emotional exploration of grief and revenge. Steeped in grief after the wrongful death of her sister, Daphne learns that a childhood friend has been arrested for a shocking crime back in her family’s Midwestern hometown. As Daphne sets off on a desperate investigation to find out what happened, she finds that her own longing for the settling of scores can’t be ignored. This play explores how thin the line is between those who think dark thoughts and those who act on them. “Torso” opens on Friday, Aug. 31 with additional performances Sept. 1, 7, 8, 14, 15 and closing night Sept. 16. All performances are 7:30 p.m. at the Grange. The playwright will attend the Sept. 1 performance. Tickets are $10 and are available at Darvills Bookstore, online at www.orcasactors. com and at the door. For additional info, contact director Doug Bechtel, at 317-5601. The play contains strong language, adult situations and partial nudity. It is not suitable for pre-teens and those easily offended.

‘Global warming: separating truth from hype’ lecture The Orcas Island Public Library is presenting a lecture by Dr. Cliff Mass, a professor at the University of Washington. He will speak on Wednesday, Aug. 29, 5:30 p.m. at the Orcas Center’s Madrona Room. Dr. Mass received his bachelor of science in physics in 1974 from Cornell University, where he worked on Earth and Martian atmospheric modeling with the late Carl Sagan. After receiving his doctorate in atmospheric sciences in 1978 from the University of Washington, he was an assistant professor at the University of Maryland from 1978 to 1981, and subsequently moved to the

University of Washington where he is currently a professor of atmospheric sciences. Mass is currently the lead scientist for the Northwest modeling consortium, a group of local, state, and federal agencies building a cutting-edge weather prediction capacity for the region. He is the author of “The Weather of the Pacific Northwest” and over 85 refereed papers, has served as editor for several professional journals, and is a fellow of the American Meteorological Society. This free program is sponsored by the Orcas Island Public Library, with additional funding provided by the Friends of the Orcas Island Library.
