Two islanders go head to head in county council race Rick Hughes and Scott Lancaster are running for San Juan County Council position #4, Orcas West

Rick Hughes, Q&A Biography Rick Hughes and his wife Marlace manage Ray’s Pharmacy. He also runs a property management group; serves as treasurer of the Orcas Island Farmers’ Market Association, is a board member of Eastsound Planning and Review Committee; volunteers as little league coach; and serves as the PTSA co-president. Prior to moving to Orcas, Hughes was an executive with ESPN. His family has been on Orcas since 1944 and Marlace

is a fourth generation Orcas Island resident. Sounder: Why are you running for this position? RH: As an operator of a small business in Eastsound, I have seen what it takes to run an organization in an efficient manner. As a concerned citizen, I have seen how people can work together to solve problems like a county-wide drug take-back program or garbage cans in Eastsound. Everyone can make a difference. My pledge to the community is to operate a fair, honest and transparent government, to work for better communications and interaction between county employees and the public, and to have county government serve as an aid to the public. In short, to give the government back to the community. How do you plan to juggle this position with your full-time business? If elected, this position will be a full-time position for me. My primary responsibilities will be shifted to other people in the organization and we will hire a new staffer.

See HUGHES, Page 6

Scott Lancaster, Q&A Biography Scott Lancaster and his wife of 25 years Therese own and manage Ace Hardware in Eastsound. They have lived on Orcas since 1992 and raised two children on the island. Lancaster has been on the Orcas School Board for seven years. His term expires in November 2013, but if he wins the council election, he will resign. He has also been a Kiwanis member for 35 years and on the San Juan Builders

Association for eight years. Sounder: Why are you running for this position? SL: I have worked in, for or owned a small business my whole life. In my 20 years living on Orcas Island, I have owned Ace Hardware and been the vice president/general manager of Island Hardware and Supply. I have been a member and president of the San Juan Builders association. I have served for seven years on the Orcas School Board, been a 20-year member of Kiwanis, very involved with my family in 4-H and coaching the kids’ sports. All of this has prepared me for the challenges of the county council and given me the perspective of how their actions affect the citizens of this county. I believe that I have developed a unique skill set that will help me in solving the challenges of the budget, land use, solid waste, building department and the hiring/management of an effective county administrator. I’m prepared to serve all the citizens of San Juan County!

Council: still no decision on solid waste by MEREDITH M. GRIFFITH Sounder contributor

Precious time may end up being a key factor as the San Juan County Council decides who will run Orcas Island’s solid waste program in 2013. Islanders urged caution at a Sept. 25 council meeting. “I think we’re making a huge mistake,” attendee Sadie Bailey told the council. “Please slow down; please stop, think and listen.” The council could grant operation of the Orcas transfer station to Cimarron Trucking, a mainland-based, for-profit corporation offering recycling sorting and trash disposal, or to local nonprofit Orcas Recycling Services, which proposes to develop composting, reuse, hazardous waste disposal and other waste reduction programs. The county’s current landfill disposal contract with Waste Management expires Dec. 31. “We do not have a plan to continue on past the first of the year,”

said Council Member Richard Fralick. “That’s huge.” He cited the solid waste department’s $1 million-plus debt, the need for capital improvements, winter revenue decreases, and the county’s past failure to operate a “sustainable solid waste business” as compelling reasons for the county to step down as soon as possible. The council recently asked county staff to investigate the feasibility of two contracts: Cimarron Trucking would operate the tipping floor and continue landfill disposal. ORS would handle selfhauled garbage, recycling, and waste reduction services. Unfortunately, “a business that’s just recycling and self-haul just doesn’t pencil out,” ORS Board President Pete Moe told the Sounder. By ORS calculations, such a program would in the red annually. In contrast, ORS says inclusion of the tipping floor would yield a net annual revenue of $70-

Orcas man gets five days for collision with ferry worker Journal editor

An Orcas Island man who knocked down a ferry worker while driving his pickup off a ferry docked in Friday Harbor and continued along his way has 30 hours of community service to perform for misdemeanor hit-and-run. On Sept. 21, Bradford Scott Siep, 38, pleaded nocontest in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of hit-and-run property damage, a misdemeanor, and was sentenced to 90 days in jail with 85 days suspended for two years. He was ordered to pay $1,050 in fines and fees, and to pay $1,000 in restitution to the ferry worker, who suffered shoulder, neck and back injuries as a result of the collision. Siep was credited with having served one day of that five-day sentence. Initially charged with felony hit-and-run, Siep pleaded no-contest, known in Washington state as an

Alford plea, to the lesser offense in exchange for a recommended sentence offered up by prosecutors and imposed by the court. As part of the sentence he will be allowed to perform four days of community service in lieu of jail. According to court documents, Siep struck an employee of Washington State Ferries who was guiding traffic off an inter-island ferry in mid-May, and continued along through Friday Harbor before being pulled over about eight blocks away from the ferry landing. He was also charged with driving with a suspended license, a misdemeanor offense, to which he pleaded guilty. At the time of his arrest, 

Siep reportedly told a deputy that he was just about to turn around and drive back to the ferry landing to check on the condition of the ferry worker, according to court documents.

It all started with a pile of wood, but not just any kind of wood – Sitka spruce, Orcas willow and maple. And after a year and half of bending, carving and fitting, a beautiful violin emerged. And to its maker Paul Evan’s amazement, it actually sounded like a “decent” violin. “Although I guess it would have been more amazing if it sounded like a tuba,” Evans said. Joking aside, he admits that he is far too much of a novice to know what a good violin sounds like, so Evans enlisted Orcas Island School’s music teacher and violinist Pamela Wright to give it a test. She approved, making Evans’ first attempt to build an instrument a success. “It has a beautiful sound,” she said. “So much so that I have asked to play it again.” Evans is a skilled craftsman, who has been building bicycle frames for the last 12 years, which is a process he calls much easier than violin making. Evans is not sure what he will build next, but it may depend on what turns up in his hands.

After meeting Bruce Harvie, of Orcas Tonewoods, at the Lower Tavern with what appeared to be a box of free kindling, Evans said he felt a bit overwhelmed at the task of turning the wood to an instrument. But Evans went to work, which he wasn’t an easy first step. “Getting started was the most difficult part – once a project like this gets going, it’s really hard to stop,” he said. Other challenges included the intricacies of bending the ribs, carving and graduating the top and back, carving the scroll, fitting the bridge and sound post. Evans avoided using power tools, which he said made the project more interesting and inspired him to purchase “expensive, cool hand tools.” “I am not surprised that

To the Editor:

Don’t let fellow islanders go hungry

Wood raffle coming

t’s our most basic human need: food. For most of us, we can walk into the store or stroll through the farmers’ market and pick up whatever we like. For others, like seniors on a fixed income, single parents and struggling families, going to bed hungry is just part of life. As winter approaches and seasonal work dries up, the Orcas Island Food Bank is launching its annual fund drive. An average of 82 families a week are being served by the food bank compared to 79 in 2011. A total of 61,000 pounds of food have already been distributed to hungry families this year. The non-profit is run entirely by volunteers who do everything from ordering food and picking up groceries at the off-island distribution center to running and maintaining the facility and writing grants.

How to help • Write a check payable to the Orcas Island Food Bank for any amount, big or small, and mail it to P.O. Box 424, Eastsound, WA 98245. Every $50 supports a family of four for two weeks. • Arrange with your bank to make an automatic monthly or quarterly transfer of any given amount to the Orcas Island Food Bank. • The Islands’ Sounder is donating $5 to the food bank for each new subscription and $8 for every two-year subscription. Call 3764500 to sign up or visit www.islandssounder.com. • Hold a food drive or fundraising benefit at your business or event. • Bring non-perishables to our drop-off sites at the food bank building at 116 Madrona Street, the Orcas Senior Center, Key Bank and Post Offices in Eastsound, Deer Harbor and Orcas. The Orcas Island Food Bank is community grown and supported. Your money and food donations help our neighbors in need who sometimes have to make the impossible choice between paying for rent, childcare, transportation, medication or food.

extend a heartfelt thank you to Denise and Capt. Dan Wilk of Orcas Island Eclipse Charters for hosting another wonderful “Cruise Into History” tour last month. Big thanks as well to local historian Tom Welch for providing a fascinating narration on the early days of Orcas Island as the beautiful 56’-foot Orcas Express circumnavigated our fair isle. Together these three put together a great experience for the nearly forty guests who were aboard that day, and we at the museum are extremely grateful to receive the proceeds for this event. Kudos to Tom and the Wilks for their continued generous support by providing a fun and adventurous way to experience learning about island history. For those who regret missing this tour, be sure to call the museum office at 376-4849 to be included on the list for next year. Carl Twentier OIHM Board President

Yes on charter props Art Lange’s letter to the Sounder (Sept. 5 edition), in which he says “reverting to council members elected county-wide is a step in the opposite direction of representative government,” overlooks the way in which Proposition 1 actually increases his representation. Mr. Lange’s remarks express as well the island-centric, or should we say district-centric, attitude encouraged by the balkanized system the present version of the charter has given us. The present version of the charter weakens voters. It allows Mr. Lange to vote for only one sixth of Mailing/Street Address P.O.

the council, whereas Proposition 1 would allow him to vote for all of the council. The present version of the charter gives Mr. Lange a council of six, five of whose members have no electoral accountability to him, whereas Proposition 1 would give him a council of three, all of whose members would have electoral accountability to him. The present version of the council gives Mr. Lange one vote every four years for the council, whereas Proposition 1 would give him three votes every four years for the council. Our little county is already fragmented by geography. We needn’t worsen its disunity by continuing with a council of six representing separate districts. We need to become one county governed by council persons who are elected county-wide. Richard Ward, Lopez Ron Zee, San Juan Stephen Garrison, Orcas In a recent letter to the editor the case was made to reject Proposition No 2. In this letter it was suggested: “As the largest employer in the County responsible for the management of a budget in excess of $45 million consistent leadership is essential to deliver high quality services. This can be best achieved by the appointment of a quality County Administrator who understands our community’s needs and is held accountable by the council.” The above argument is exactly why the CRC is recommending the changes in Proposition No 2 and why you should vote yes for these

LETTERS FROM 4 changes. Proposition No 2 gives the council authority to appoint (hire) a qualified county manager (administrator) who understands our community’s needs and is held accountable by the council and therefore to the people. The current charter does not hold the Administrator accountable to the council or to the people. The changes to the charter proposed by the CRC in Proposition No. 2 gives complete latitude to the council to hire anyone they believe is qualified to deliver consistent leadership and quality services. They could even hire the current temporary administrator if they wish and give him the title of county manager. So, the important change is appointing a quality manager (administrator) that is held accountable by the council and therefore accountable to the people of San Juan County. Vote yes on Proposition No. 2. Ralph Gutschmidt Orcas Your former countywide elected officials urge you to support the charter amendments for better government in San Juan County.

WASTE FROM 1 biggest remaining obstacle is securing an agreement for waste disposal at a mainland landfill. “If you got the contract today, who would haul the waste?” asked Council Member Jamie Stephens at the meeting. Cimarron President Blair Estenson declined to comment on whether Cimarron would continue disposal of transfer station waste if ORS were awarded the full contract, stating, “We’re in contract negotiations.” Cimarron’s parent company, Waste Management, and Seattle’s Allied Waste

would endorse the Charter Review Commission’s proposals as soon as the CRC declared its pre-determined agenda. Similarly, it is no surprise that the CRC would select only former BOCC members for feedback and endorsements who would support the return of San Juan County to their preferred governance model created in the horse and buggy days 130 years ago. A few years ago, San Juan County was energized to move forward and voted overwhelmingly in 15 of 17 precincts to adopt our current Home Rule Charter. We were essentially saying that the times demanded a new and more equitable form of representation; that the needs of our county had grown, but our governance model had not. Our discussions in 2005 looked at such things as the enormous cost to candidates who had to run countywide. Some spent more than $40,000. If Proposition 1 passes, candidates face a new primary and a general election in 2013! Add it up. This does not square well with Kevin’s feeling that going back to this would open the field of candidates to “working and young families.” We freeholders analyzed, examined, interviewed, and researched before we made the recommendations the voters easily approved in 2005. The CRC might have benefited from this thorough and open approach, but they had no interest in seeing if any of us might offer useful suggestions on how to improve the charter and why we supported the move forward. For example, we found in interviews with BOCC members that there was concern about the lack of communication and team-

work among the BOCC. Our interviews with elected officials such as Paul Dossett, Randy Gaylord, Mary Jean Cahail, Bill Cumming, and Rhea Miller revealed their agreement that the three commissioner model with legislators, only able to talk to each other in public meetings, “is at best awkward, and leads to confused decision-making, delays in communication and decisions, and causes unnecessary debates and disagreements.” About our former system, all agreed that the “budgeting process was arbitrary, clumsy, and takes too much effort.” (Ralph Hahn, “Taking on the Big Issue – Commissioner Districts, 02/22/05, San Juan Islander). The current structure does not “fracture our county or our ability to truly be a representative government” as Kevin alleges. In fact, we would argue that the old system with three unequal districts did fracture the county. Recent analysis published in the local media demonstrates the simple math: “In the threecommissioner at-large system we used to have, district vote was “diluted unequally,” and residency requirements do not change this simple math. In this system which the CRC is recommending we return to, if you live on Lopez, FIVE out of six votes for “your” commissioner come from the other two districts! If you live on Orcas, FOUR out of every six votes for “your” commissioner come from the other two districts. If you live on San Juan, THREE out of every six votes for “your” commissioner come from the other two districts. We do not see facts to support Kevin Ranker’s opinions. Factual arguments are essential if we are going to

have refused to bid the job for ORS, but ORS says negotiations are underway with Idaho Waste Systems. On Aug. 3, San Juan Sanitation President Dan Leidecker told the council that he had signed a “letter of intent” with Cimarron for waste disposal. “Our decision has been made,” he wrote. “We have chosen a long-term relationship with Cimarron to utilize and improve the Orcas Transfer Station.” San Juan Sanitation, which serves 1,500 residents and 700 businesses, contributes roughly 50 percent of the garbage that passes over the Orcas tipping floor. Once the county is out

of the solid waste business, “flow control” laws requiring in-county waste disposal no longer apply, allowing San Juan Sanitation to shop in neighboring counties for the best deal. A 50 percent reduction in volume would dramatically affect transfer station revenue. ORS has offered SJS the same tipping rates and hours agreed to with Cimarron. But SJS Operations Manager Logan Luft told the Sounder he’s skeptical about ORS’ ability to quickly come up with the capital, equipment, experience and disposal contract necessary to satisfy the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission so that SJS can

set out to, at great financial expense, turn back the clock on our entire system of governance. The arguments are not there. Problems with the charter’s structure have not been identified. The propositions from the CRC have not been shown to have positive effects. We urge voters to reject and vote NO Proposition 1 and Proposition 2.

no on Prop. 1 & 2 I am opposed to these propositions because, unlike what is claimed by the proponents: 1) The fact is that the overwhelming majority of counties in the U.S. have more than three council members 2) Proposition 1 would result in unequal and unfair representation 3) By electing full-time representatives through expensive countywide campaigns it would a) open the door to special interest influence, b) change the nature of our candidates from working people in our community to “career politicians,” 3) give one island the opportunity to influence greatly who all three of the council members will be. 4) Proposition 2 would create a multi-headed boss structure that would politicize operations, open the door to “cronyism,” create confusion in operations, and lead to political jockeying; this would lead to less accountability not more. 5) Proposition 2 would legally continue using the transfer station. In contrast, SJS has a 15-year working history with Cimarron, and “we know that it’s going to be done the right way at the

make it much less likely that we could hire a highly competent, professionally qualified administrator since the position would be reduced to that of a “lackey.” 6) The major components of these Propositions were locked in by the commission by their second meeting; this process was supposed to have sought public input before deciding not after; only the input that supported their locked in decisions was used in their Findings report. 7) The purpose of the Charter Review was to fine tune the system that the voters approved in 2005, not gut it and return to the system we, the voters, decided was flawed. 8) Clearly, improvements can be made in the quality of our governance. However, that is best achieved by electing competent council members to the three open positions and finding a competent and collaborative administrator to fill that positions, not by gutting the charter and creating disruption.

Art Lange Orcas Island In 2005, 21 volunteers researched the complex workings of our county, and sorted out what was successful from what needed improvement. These county freeholders acted somewhat like our nation’s founding fathers did, when they drafted our federal Constitution. After serious debate and compromise, we received a representative governmental that featured a strong system of

checks and balances that would prevent abuse of power. To ensure that the unique needs of citizens on each of our islands would be fairly represented, they proposed a six-member council to deal with policy and legislation, and an independent administrator to handle day-to-day operations. Now, after a much shorter span of deliberation, a Charter Review Commission, some members of which were already set against the Charter forged in 2005, are trying to take away the real and significant improvements that were originally achieved. Proponents of the revised charter have said that the aim of the revision is efficiency. A three-member council is more efficient than that of six, they say, requiring less debate and deliberation. We must remember, however, that democracy is not meant to be efficient. In order for everyone to have a voice, time must be allowed for as much deliberation and debate as possible. As another writer has already pointed out, the most efficient form of government is a dictatorship, in which nobody’s voice is heard at all. We are truly fearful that, if the people of San Juan County vote to undo our hard-won better government of the current charter, we will have taken a giant, enduring, and destructive step backwards. When voters approved the new charter, it was with the requirement that it be reviewed occasionally thereafter. But “review” does not mean “reverse”! Please vote no on propositions 1 & 2.

right price,” Luft said. Meeting attendee Patty Cook of Eastsound questioned the council about past lawsuits between Cimarron and Skagit County. Council

Member Patty Miller said Prosecuting Attorney Randall Gaylord was looking into the lawsuits. Gaylord’s report to the county council has not been released.

Garbage excise tax began Oct. 1

The excise tax rate on garbage collection went up from 10 percent to 16 percent on Oct. 1. The new rate is for all the islands. Both the General Disposal District and the Lopez Disposal District are affected by the rate change. There will still be no excise tax on recycling or hazardous waste collection. For self-haulers, the tax will still be collected at the stations when garbage is brought in. For route collection, San Juan Sanitation Company will still add the tax to customers' regular billing. The excise tax on garbage was last increased in 1996, when it was established at 10 percent. Proceeds from the tax revenues can only be used for purposes related to solid waste, operations and maintenance, including debt service. Ordinance 16-2012, relating to the General Disposal District, and Ordinance 17-2012, for the Lopez Disposal District were both adopted on Septe. 11, 2012. All ordinances can be viewed on the county website at: http://www.sanjuanco.com/council/ordinances.aspx.

HUGHES FROM 1 What are the greatest concerns currently facing the county? Economic development and jobs. What the recession that began during 2007 has shown this generation of San Juan County islanders is that an economy based primarily on tourism and construction is hit hard with any prolonged economic downturn and takes longer to recover. What are your solutions to those problems? We need to encourage development of alternate industries, along with expansion of agricultural based export business and growth of agro/ecotourism to provide opportunities to county citizens that can

help mitigate the impact of deep recessions. Due to the cost of shipping to and from the islands we should look for industries that are less hard goods based and more knowledge based. Organizations that offer pure research and development could thrive here. OPALCO’s broadband initiative could be a boon for the county to bring new industries to the county. Also, a media commission should be developed to work with the state’s film production incentive program and local media professionals to bring commercial, television and film production to the county instead of British Columbia. What are the strengths and weaknesses of our current government? One of the strengths

of government here in the islands is that it really feels like “We The People.” Virtually everyone knows someone who works for government in some capacity and for the majority of people this helps dispel any “use versus them” feelings. The government has also shown the capacity to adapt and respond to economic changes. Some could argue over the magnitude of the changes, but that doesn’t negate the efforts of our neighbors employed by the county. The government could develop a greater sense of urgency and a stronger customer service focus. It should continuously evaluate its processes to insure that are sufficiently meeting the needs of the people and not “just the way they’ve always done it.”

LANCASTER FROM 1 Question: how do you plan to juggle this position with your full-time business? I’m very fortunate that my wife, Therese, is also the owner of Orcas Island Ace Hardware and has worked at the store since day one. She is more than capable of managing the business while I’m fulfilling my council commitments and responsibilities. We are also fortunate to have a great staff that will also help us. As past and current council/commissioners have told me, you just get into a routine that works for both jobs. We have had my seven years on the school board to practice this and we have made it work.

What are the greatest concerns currently facing the county? Jobs, the budget, Critical Areas Ordinance and Shoreline Master Plan and implementing the solid waste plan are my greatest current concerns. What are your solutions to these problems? Jobs, the budget and the CAO are all intertwined. For the past 20 years, the construction industry has been the driving force of a healthy county budget, jobs and our middle class. We have to have sensible and reasonable planning rules that encourage more in the future. We need a culture change in the building/ planning department from one that is adversarial to one that is advocacy. The cure for these problems is not to shut down building and growth but to have reasonable development expectations. I’m very concerned that if ALL parties are not given a voice in the CAO/SMP regulations, we will find ourselves spending money from the budget, that we don’t have, defending a bad plan. I believe my record shows that I have been able to get people of not of like minds together

and find solutions, and I can and will do that at the county council. I will support local control of our solid waste facilities similar to what has happened on Lopez. The potential for local jobs is great. We need to recycle and reuse as much as possible and the exchange and its board are the best ones to do this in the future. What are the strengths and weaknesses of our current government? The separation of powers, the representation of “one person one vote” from six equal population districts, ability to have committees of more than one, the referendum process and having a skilled professional county administrator running a $40 million enterprise are at the top of the list of strengths. I would prefer that there were an odd number of members (five or seven) there should be another charter review in five years not 10, the council should be involved in the hiring and review of all nonelected department heads, these are weaknesses that can be fixed. Editor’s note: Richard Fralick, council position #4, is not running for re-election.

Senator: support CRC member says ‘no’ to changes CRC amendments Guest columns by ED SUTTON

Orcas member of the Charter Review Commission

We have all read many letters about the proposals of the CRC to amend the County Charter. I was a member of the Charter Review Committee, and, in retrospect, I have concluded that there is no compelling reason to change the structure of the current charter. The Orcas Council representative, Patty Miller, asked the most pertinent question, “Did you define the problem?” No, we did not! Comments and testimony from many citizens, including former and current council members, did not build a convincing case suggesting that we revert to the old structure of three full-time commissioners. I would suggest that the comments were somewhat evenly divided between former commissioners who preferred the “old way,” and the recent council members who testified in favor of the current charter format of six part-time members. I voted against submitting the ballot proposals because I concluded that the testimony did not support unwinding the effort of the freeholders to create a better government that would result in improved governance. Frankly, I think that the CRC missed an opportunity to build on the efforts of the earlier charter group. There was a predetermined, orchestrated drive to unwind

the changes that were approved by the county voters in 2005 by a margin of about 60 percent. Also, the CRC did not consider the costs or consequences of the process of reconverting our government to a threemember council. I think that the most peculiar aspect of the arguments to revert to a three-member council that would be elected county-wide was the complete disregard for the work of the redistricting committee. The U.S. Constitution requires a census every 10 years and a redistricting of representation to assure the “one person, one vote” provision of the Constitution. The Constitution does not say “except” when you live on an island. The county was directed to balance the representation by council voting district to meet that requirement. I would imagine that Doug Pearson and his two colleagues must be frustrated that their volunteer efforts on behalf of the community were totally disregarded by the CRC. The challenge of legal counsel for the CRC that this matter has been settled in the U.S. Supreme Court is disingenuous. We all know that august body is capable of some very strange decisions. So, I must conclude that the current charter is not dysfunctional and doesn't need to be fixed. I will vote no on ballot proposition number one to amend the county charter.

by Senator Kevin Ranker D-Orcas Island

As a past San Juan County Commissioner, county council member, and now as your state senator, I have followed closely the work of the Charter Review Commission and their proposed improvements. I strongly support the recommendations of the CRC. In fact, I believe they are absolutely critical. We need full-time leadership from a county council that attracts the diversity of our community to public service. With a part-time salary, but a full-time commitment, we will continue to have council members who have another job that is their actual priority, or worse, their job that actually pays the bills suffers, or they are retired and/or independently wealthy. Our council should represent the diversity of our community – not only the wealthy and retired, but the working and young families. Our council members should prioritize

the county’s business and future and not have to sacrifice their income to do so. The current structure severely limits who will consider running for this office. Further, with the current part-time council, much more power falls to the county administrator who is appointed and not elected by the people. A full-time council, elected by the people, possesses more authority. I believe it is extremely important that the people making decisions for our future directly answer to us. Every council member making decisions for the entire county should have to answer to the entire county. For over 130 years, we elected a legislative body county-wide and it worked pretty well. While I did not agree with every decision former commissioner John Evans made, I know that he took the time to understand issues on Lopez and San Juan not only because he

Senator Kevin Ranker cared, but because he was a full-time legislator and answered to those voters as well as the voters in his own Orcas district. Currently there are six members and all six make decisions for the entire county. Yet we only vote for one. Representation of our county in Olympia and other governmental organizations is imperative to our future. For decades, fulltime county commissioners spent considerable time working for our county off island. Since switching to a part time council, this representation is nearly nonexistent. The beauty of our Home Rule Charter is that we can make improvements. Please join me in supporting Propositions 1, 2, and 3.

Girls soccer continues to fight by MARTY ZIER Sports contributor

The Lady Vikings soccer team traveled to LaConner for a hard fought 6-2 loss against the Braves on Sept. 25. Coach Chama Anderson said the Braves capitalized on “a few critical mistakes in the beginning that cost us a few goals and put us on our heals,” but she was pleased with Lilly Miller's

perseverance, scoring the Vikings’ first goal before halftime against a solid Brave defense. Start of the second half with the Vikings down 3-1, Anderson said, “Lana Bronn placed a beautiful ball just under the cross bar 20 yards out for our second goal” that changed the momentum of the game as the Vikings began to “dominate play for most of the second half.” However, a

few strong Brave drives and follow through eventually broke through the Viking defense. “We are learning from our mistakes and getting better and better, one play at a time,” Anderson said.

Kings having good season

The Orcas Kings are now 3-2. The young Orcas football team faced Sedro Wooley and won 60-14. This past weekend they defeated Concrete 51-0. Touchdowns in Concrete went to Ryan Flint, Aidan Kruse, Evan Tidrington, Jordan Randolph and Miles Harlow. They face the Braves this weekend in La Conner.

Dusty but divine

Historical museum offers tour of old barns

Lehman barn in Deer Harbor. by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor and Publisher

t’s such an ingrained part of our rural landscape that sometimes they blend in with the trees and fields. The Orcas Island Historical Museum is hoping to shed a little light on some of the island’s longeststanding structures: barns. “Orcas barns are in danger of disappearing from the visual, cultural and historical landscape, unless we reinvent ways to utilize them today,” said museum volunteer Margot Shaw. Inspired by Boyd Pratt and Sandy Strelou’s “San Juan County Historic Barn Inventory,” the museum is presenting a “Tour of Historic Barns” on Orcas Island, featuring seven unique buildings. It’s also a fundraiser for the organization. The tour is Saturday, Oct. 13 from 11 a.m to 4 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 14 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. There will be a barn dance on Saturday, Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. in the West Sound Community Hall. Entrance to the dance is $5 for those on the barn tour; for others, it’s $10. Tickets to the tour are $20 or $15 for historical society members, and free for under 12. They are at www.orcasmuseum.org, the historical museum, chamber of commerce, and Art of the Salish Sea. Tickets include a map and directions. A prize will be awarded each week to the winner of a drawing from the purchased ticket numbers.

The author of more than 250 journal articles and 50 reports, he is coauthor of “Should We Risk It? Exploring Environmental,

MADRONA BAR & GRILL

Farm to Party down with Orcas Horns Cafeteria events The first weekend of the October Great Island Grown Festival promises highs in the 60s and mostly sunny when the Harvest Meal on the Village Green occurs on Oct. 7 at 4 p.m. Guests will be gathering around a long, linen-draped table under a protective tent (just in case Mother Nature changes her mind) to celebrate farm to table and the island’s abundant bounty at its best. Mouth-watering dishes made with ingredients fresh from an island farm will be served “pass the platter” style by Christina Orchid of Red Rabbit Farm, Geddes Martin of the Inn at Ship Bay, Charles Dalton of The Kitchen, Seamus Platt – the new chef of Doe Bay Cafe, John Steward of Maple Rock Farm and Madden Surbaugh of New Leaf Cafe. Tickets are online at www. oief.org/events.html or the Orcas Chamber Office. Plans are in the works for an event at the school celebrating the Orcas Island Farm to Cafeteria Program. Everyone attending will have a chance to tour the garden, see what the Farm to Classroom kids are doing, and enjoy a scratch-cooked lunch prepared by our wonderful school cafeteria staff. There will be no cost for this event or the lunch on Saturday, Oct. 13 at 11 a.m. at the cafeteria. Donations will be happily accepted but not expected.

The Orcas Horns are back for their third annual Orcas Center blow-out show. The band says it will be the most entertaining yet, a mix of songs and combining fresh arrangements of familiar tunes with original material composed by band members Martin Lund, Gene Nery and Steve Alboucq. The performance is on Saturday, Oct. 6. Burgers and Brew are at 6 p.m. in the Madrona Room. Orcas Horns take the stage at 7:30

p.m. The band’s horn-driven sound, combined with a rhythm section and lead vocalist, creates a dynamic group of island musicians, say organizers. As an added treat, the group’s eight regular members – Gene Nery, Steve Alboucq, Martin Lund, Tony Morales, Dimitri Stankevich, Gregory Books, Bruce Russell, and Craig Canine – will be joined for the evening by several special guest artists, including
