County council to submit state, federal legislative priorities by Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

The San Juan County Council has drafted state and federal legislative priorities bound for Olympia and Washington DC. Councilwoman Lovel Pratt is spearheading the priorities effort. The priorities have undergone several drafts in response to council discussions and public testimony at council hearings. Final council action on the recommendations will probably occur in October.

Not alone

Orcas Island support group started for parents of children with special needs by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor and Publisher

Raising a child comes with its ups and downs. Add developmental delays or behavioral problems, and the road gets rockier. Now island parents have a place to share their struggles – and stories of joy – with others. The Island Parent Collaboration support group has been meeting since May and has a core group of moms and dads who meet on a monthly basis. “I wanted a place for parents who are raising

The council’s first federal legislative priority for 2013 is directed at oil spill prevention and response, partly in reaction to present and future increases in shipments from British Columbia ports of “bitumen” derived from the oil sands of Alberta. Shipments are expected to grow every

kiddos with special needs to share and talk,” said facilitator Tess White. “Down the line, I want it to be a group that can do some advocacy in the community as well.” Tess and her husband Greg are parents to Grayson, 13, Erin, 11, and nine-year-old Willow. Erin was diagnosed with autism when she was four. As the Whites faced a new challenge, Tess craved a support group close to home. “The difficult years were between the ages of two and seven. Erin is developmentally delayed and communicates differently than most kids,” said Tess, who is a pre-school teacher at Kaleidoscope and is completing a master’s program in teaching and early childhood special education. “We face unique challenges in terms of little things like huge breakdowns and major tantrums. It made it difficult for us to travel or go places.” The nearest support group she found was on the mainland. She attended sessions and even trained as a “helping parent” for that program. But the ferry trips were a hassle. Now she is offer-

year for many years, and the heavy, tarry bitumen is especially problematic in the Salish Sea because it sinks – a potential disaster should a spill occur. The issue of bitumen transportation through local waters dovetails with future coal shipments from the proposed Gateway Pacific terminal near Bellingham, but the significant attention these issues will receive from the federal Environmental Impact Statement process suggest that little congressional action can be expected. Other proposed federal priority issues: funding for the Cattle Point Road realignment project in the San Juan Island National Historical Park; designation of San Juan County BLM lands as a National Monument (by presidential proclamation) or as a National Conservation Area (by congressional action); funding for Orca protec-

ing something to island parents. “This is open to all different kinds of families,” Tess said. “It’s not about labeling your kid. It’s about supporting parents, even for those who are experiencing challenges and don’t know why.” Island Parent Collaboration meets once a month in Greg’s office at 531 Fern Street in Eastsound. Upcoming sessions are on Wednesday, Sept. 12 and Wednesday, Oct. 10 at 5:30 p.m. Greg makes cookies and snacks and the atmosphere is informal. Stories shared at the meetings are entirely anonymous. Tess says her biggest hope is the secure funding for child care so single parents or both moms and dads can attend. For more information, call Tess at 376-4991 or visit the group’s Facebook page: https://www. facebook.com/IslandParentCollaboration. Erin just started the sixth grade at the public school, where she has had the same aide for years. Tess says that while life has become easier for the family, things like the first day of school

tion enforcement; updating flood insurance rate maps in the county; and funding for the Deer Harbor bridge project. Because of Sen. Patty Murray’s chairmanship of the Transportation Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee, the Cattle Point Road project and the Deer Harbor bridge project are the likely to be successful.

Washington state Because the county is represented in Olympia by a state senator and two state representatives, the 2013 state legislative priorities will receive substantial attention from the Legislature, according to Pratt.

Kings beat Cougars School science grants The Orcas Kings youth football team traveled to Lakewood to take on the Cougars on Sept. 8. The Kings had scored three touchdowns by the half. In the end, the Orcas boys triumphed with a final score of 25-6. “I was very proud that the kids played hard on every snap,” said head coach Justin Frausto. With confidence high, the Kings are ready to take on Bellingham Blue on Saturday, Sept. 15 at 9:30 a.m. at home. It’s their only game on Orcas this season. A total of $2,000 is left to raise for the team. There will be an opportunity to donate at the game.

Bach recovering Hops and dreams after plane crash at 33 Hope Lane Orcas resident and author Richard Bach is still in serious condition with head and shoulder injuries after crashing his 2008 Easton Gilbert Searey airplane on San Juan Island on Aug. 31. The airplane suffered major damage, but there was no fire. A wildland fire was sparked nearby by power lines that had been struck by the aircraft. Bach, 76, is best known for his 1970s classic “Jonathan Livingston Seagull.” The Sounder was unable to reach Bach’s family, however, a KOMO news report on Sept. 10 stated he is in serious condition at Harborview Hospital in Seattle, but is able to talk a little and follow simple commands.

Orcas man to stand trial for burglary

An 18-year-old Orcas Island man accused of committing a string of recent break-ins and thefts in the Eastsound area is slated to stand trial on felony burglary charges in midNovember. On Aug. 31, Shannon Keith Everett, Jr., pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to four counts of second-degree burglary, a Class B felony. He was released under court orders, which include curfew at night and wearing an electronic tracking device, pending trial on Nov. 13. Everett, Jr. was arrested in connection with the burglary spree on Aug. 27. A Class B felony, second-degree burglary carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both; however, the standard range of sentencing set by the state is 4-12 months in jail.

Help OIEF ‘unwrap’ the school library The Orcas Island Education Foundation is sponsoring a wrapping paper fundraiser. Because of dwindling funding from the state, the Orcas Island School District has had to make cuts to this year's budget, including closing the library. The OIEF Board has decided to donate all proceeds of this year’s sale to help re-open the school library. Fifty percent of all wrapping paper sales goes to OIEF. It will cost $43,000 to bring back the librarian and the library aide for the rest of the year. OIEF has partnered with Innisbrook, a company that shares the islands' community sense of environmental

awareness. All standard gift wrap is printed on premium recycled paper, inks are 100 percent water-soluble, and no cardboard cores are included. OIEF will award the topselling class a pizza party. The top-selling student will receive a $50 gift certificate from Darvill’s Bookstore. To buy paper online, go to www.innisbrook.com, click on “Family & Friends Support a Fundraiser,” and then shop using OIEF's CUSTOMER #101251.

Island Hoppin’ Brewery opens on Orcas Island Locals and visitors will be able sample quality microbrews made on Orcas Island, starting Sept. 21. In 2010, after many successful brew sessions in the backyard, Becca Gray, Nate Schons and Jim Parker decided to share their love of beer with the island by opening “Island Hoppin’ Brewery.” Schons started brewing in 2002 while living abroad in New Zealand. He returned stateside and increased his knowledge by hauling kegs and gleaning brewing tips while working at Cashmere Brewing in eastern Washington. Grey moved to Orcas in 2000 to join her sisters Shyam and Katie Gray and brother Paul Spencer. When she met Schons in 2007, they started brewing their life together. In 2009, Parker joined in on one of their garage brew days and the rest is history in the making. Last year, Island Hoppin’

received its microbrewery license. After many successful pulls and an increase in demand, they moved to a new location: the old “Orcas Heating and Sheet Metal” building at 33 Hope Lane, off Mt. Baker Rd. next door to Orcas Auto Tech. They have since acquired three 125-gallon custommade fermenters and installed a walk-in cooler to keep the beer cold. With a six-tap tasting room to match, it was time to brew. The first batches brewed were IPA and an American Wit. They have 80 kegs and rising for wholesale distribution, and in two years they hope to be distributing to all the islands and throughout Washington state. Currently, Island Hoppin’ brews can be enjoyed at Chiladas, Doe Bay, the Lower Tavern and West Sound Cafe. In addition, “Growler” (64-ounce jug) refills can be purchased at Ray’s Pharmacy for take-

To the Editor:

Embrace differences that make us unique

Wishing Dr. Jim Litch the best

eing “different” comes in many forms, but the unifying element is that it’s hard to fit in when you’re not like everyone else. It’s the start of a new school year, which is a great time to remind our kids that accepting differences – in others and themselves – is the mark of a mature, compassionate person. Our front page story highlights a new support group on the island for parents who have children with special needs. Tess White, whose daughter has autism, said that even going to the grocery store can be a challenge – the littlest thing can result in a full-blown tantrum. Even in a loving community, we can feel alone and misunderstood. Last week, Orcas Center offered a screening of “The Curious Incident of the Dog in Night-Time,” a play adapted from a powerful book about a boy with autism. The novel isn’t about disabilities, said author Mark Haddon. It’s about differences. It’s not bad to be unlike others. In fact, no two people are exactly alike. It’s what makes us all so interesting. Let us remember tolerance and compassion, as we have all struggled to find our place in a world that can feel full of strangers.

We are writing to inform our Orcas Island community that Dr. Jim Litch decided not to renew his contract with Island Hospital to work at Orcas Medical Center. This means that, effective Sept. 1, Jim has not been practicing medicine at the Medical Center. In Dr. Litch’s words to his patients, “This decision was a very hard one to make, as I have truly enjoyed getting to know each of you and working to provide the best care possible. Being a part of this community and contributing to the health care of our residents and visitors means a great deal to me. However, I have found that this is not the right time for me to be working at Orcas Medical Center.” Jim added, “As circumstances change, it may be possible in the future for me to return to practice at the OMC. At this juncture, I do not have plans for the immediate future to practice on Orcas.” Also, Dr. Litch said that he and his family have no plans to move away from the Island. All of us at Orcas Medical Center wish Jim the very best. Naturally, our entire medical staff at OMC will continue to offer excellent care to Jim’s patients and to all residents and visitors on Orcas Island.

Music students support school concert Three years ago, our Orcas school band and orchestra were combined. We held concerts in our loud, dusty cafeteria to an audience of parents and family. Then things changed. Now we have two flourishing branches of the music program, both band and strings in middle school and high school. During the past two years, we’ve performed two concerts each year at Orcas Center and played at various community events. We’ve also competed in state competitions and been awarded an “excellent” rating and two “superior” ratings.

We can’t believe how much we’ve accomplished. It makes us actually enjoy waking up for our 7:30 a.m. practices! We finally have an outlet to express our love for music and ensemble performance. Having a group of peers who share our talent, enthusiasm and love of music is priceless. It’s allowed us to develop our character and musical ability, as evidenced by our seniors who have gone on to music programs in college and beyond. Which is why it makes us so sad that funding for music has been so decreased that our school must consider combining the middle school and high school programs. This would negatively affect our more advanced members’ continued musical growth and our newer members’ ability to acquire essential skills. That’s why our Orcas High School Strings will perform a benefit concert this Wednesday, Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. at Orcas Island Community Church. We encourage you to attend and support our school music program that supports us and, by extension, our entire community. Admission is by donation, which is greatly appreciated.

three districts (San Juan, Orcas, and Lopez/Shaw) with populations of 7,662; 5,354; and 2,753 respectively. One council member would have to come from each district. Why would we do that? Geography should not override equal representation. Finally, I think electing our representatives to the council is better done closer to home. The result is much more likely to elect a council reflecting a broader spectrum of viewpoint and philosophy. It prevents the same county-wide electoral majority from entirely dominating the process for each council race. It’s much more democratic and provides better representation. Please join me in voting to reject Proposition No.1, Charter Review. You can find additional information at www.votenocharterreview1and2.com. Leonard Wood Orcas Island

Yes to charter changes Strip away the politics and islanders are all decent and exceptional people. One thing we all have in common is that our highest priority in life is not what we do but where we live. As independent islanders we will always disagree and argue about every issue. But losing control of our local government means that we can’t do much about it anymore. The good news is that we can take control again. The people’s control of our government is the core principle of home rule. I believe we have lost it and become increasingly divided because of the way the charter was set up. Here’s why: Since the inception of San Juan County, voters had the ability to control their own destiny by voting for all of their representatives. The

charter changed that. Now we can only vote for one and we are divided into six small districts pitted against each other. Not only do we have geography separating us we now have our government structure working to divide us. Under a flawed charter we have created an artificial way to divide ourselves. The islands need to be unified. The charter damaged this concept. We should never forget that our islands, with their diverse interdependent communities, must be unified in the way they are governed. The people we elect should always act in the best interest of the entire county not just their own island. The recommended changes to the charter are simple, tried and true. Reduce the size of the council. Limit the power of the administrator and put it more clearly into the hands of the leaders we elect to delegate as they see fit. Make government transparent. Give control back to the people. And most importantly, bring our islands together again. Please consider voting in favor of the three charter amendments! Gordy Petersen San Juan Island If I understand the letter to the Sounder for the Aug. 22 issue (“Vote no on Charter Propositions 1 and 2”), we should not consider having all citizens vote for all council members, and continue balkanization, because it would be too expensive to do otherwise. A number of $50,000 was mentioned the cost for a candidate to run for office, although the Public Disclosure Commission records belie this. Once the number was tossed out, the argument went along the lines that this “could” allow well-funded special interest groups to somehow restrict and dominate elections.

Interior Consulting • Venetian Plaster • Interior Paint

Knowing my fellow citizens I have a hard time believing that money will control San Juan County voting decisions. I might argue that being dubbed a “special interest group” might kill their chances in the election booth! Of course, with Supreme Court decisions, almost any amount can be spent on any election, including at the district level. And with the cost of paid advertising one could spend virtually any amount of money raised as campaign finance contributions. But in San Juan County it appears that this issue is something of a red herring, especially since inexpensive electronic media play an increasing role in campaigning. The real wealth restrictions on campaigning derive from having small pocket districts with limited numbers of campaign contributors and having council positions that take a lot of time but pay little. Because a working person supporting a family cannot consider running, the field is left open only to those of means. Having only three council positions, with fulltime pay, would alleviate these restrictions. Stephen Garrison Orcas Island

Vote to reject Proposition No. 1 as put forward by the Charter Review Commission. Here’s why. The proposition includes three distinct elements: • The county council is reduced from six members to three members. • Council Districts are reduced from six districts having nearly equal population to three districts having very unequal population. • Voting changes from nominating and electing council candidates within each council district by only the voters in that district to nominating and electing council candidates within each council district by the voters of the entire county. Consider each element. Why would three be better than six? The reasons advanced in the findings of the Charter Review Commission rely exclusively on opinion and on the fact that most counties in Washington have three commissioners. We were doing it that way before we adopted the charter. When we voted for the charter specifying six council members we intended to improve representation. I think six has given us that improvement. My council member is elected by me and other voters in my council district. Likewise, your vote, in your district, gives you better choice and a stronger voice. Why would we go back? Why would three unequal council districts be better than six equal districts? The 2010 census put the county population at 15,769. The council structure being proposed divides that total into

Councilman Howie Rosenfeld points out that “the legislature covered 2013 ferry operating

expenditures, but funding for future years continues to be a problem.” Other ferry action items are construction of a second ferry slip in Friday Harbor and funding for construction of a commuter parking lot in Orcas Village. The second state priority, like the first federal priority, is oil spill prevention and response. Specifically, the county wants to enlist the Governor, the Department of Ecology, the tribes and the legislative delegation

to support designation of San Juan County as a staging area capable of meeting four-hour and six-hour oil spill response standards. Such a designation, of course, implies provision of funding to locate equipment and personnel in the San Juan islands to respond to spills. This second priority has a specific action option related to the Gateway Pacific Coal Terminal near Bellingham. Specifically, the council is asking that state and federal authorities require that Environment Impact Statement scoping meetings be held in San Juan County, and that the resultant EIS address increased vessel traffic and risk of water contamination. As always with both Congress and the state legislature, the fly in the priorities ointment is paying for expenditures necessary

smallest Viking football squads in years. With a large 2011 graduating class plus two thin years of freshman players, the Vikings will attack the rest of the league with fewer than 20 players. At practice, Harris stresses keeping grades up, staying healthy, eating right and focus. After the Vashon Island winning opener with only 13 eligible players, Harris said, “Going in I knew we were inexperienced and young in some spots. Our kids made some mistakes but got better as the game progressed. They hung together in some tough times.” Harris and the Vikings will face tough league

Our goal is to get better each game. Players to watch out for are bruising running back Jake Zier, receiver/linebacker Devon Stanzione and outside line-

backer Di Mowry. I am also thrilled to have kicker Jack Russillo keep us in and win some tight games.” Harris says other players to watch out for are first year starter at quarterback Daniel Briggs, returning receiver Rylan Date, sophomores Demitri Pence, Joey Susol and Jay Zier and first year starters Spencer Crow and Kyle Masters.

Time to shine by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter

hen the Orcas volleyball team qualified for state last year, head coach Gregg Sasan described the players as being beside themselves with excitement. Although the girls lost their first two matches at state, it was still a victory in many ways. “It had been a while since the team went to state,”

Sasan said. “And it was one of the goals we set at the beginning of the year.” This season, Sasan has the same goal, but he’s taking it one match at a time and focusing on setting up the team for success. And he has plenty of players to keep him busy: 13 girls on varsity and 17 on junior varsity. “It’s exciting and a little challenging,” said Sasan

With the help of assistant coach Hank Date, Sasan has had to assign players to teams and will have to make sure the JV players get plenty of play time. The good news is that the 12 seniors and one junior on varsity make up an expe-

And he’s says he is still learning something new with each year and each group of players. “The team changes from year and there is always something new and exciting,” Sasan said. “It keeps me sharp.” It’s that lesson of learning that he tries to impart on his players.

So far, Sasan said the team’s weakness is defense and serving and their strengths are their setter, back-up setter and Captain Tika Zbornik, who rules the back row. But Sasan said what matters most on the court is teamwork. “Like I told my team yesterday, you guys are individuals, but we have to work as a team,” he said.

However, a confident Anderson is undaunted, as she coached the Vikings to the State Championship in 2009 with only 13 players. Anderson is relying on seniors captain Lana Bronn at center mid, Julia Bailey at goal keeper, Jessica Gudgell at wing mid and Kirsten Fowler at wing defense to lead the team. In addition, Anderson is excited to see starters Shelby Rogers at center defense, Emma Minnis at wing defense, Brynna Gregg at wing mid and Bethany Menach at forward step up to championship play.

The team is off to a good start to the season, beating Mt. Vernon Christian at a home game on Friday, Sept. 7. The final score was 7-3.
