Jake Griffith helps Crystal Taylor make jewelry for her new business “Designs by Crystal.” Her work is at Jillery and the holiday festival of arts.

Crystal Taylor loves to make jewelry. She and her mom, Clarissa, design bracelets and necklaces out of their home in Eastsound. Crystal, who has low-functioning autism, enjoys having a creative outlet. “I am excited,” she said. “It’s so fun.” Crystal, 26, will be selling her work at the Holiday Festival of the Arts on Saturday, Nov. 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the senior center. Her jewelry is also at Pike Place Market in Seattle. She is launching her new endeavor with the help of job coach Cara Cohn, who is the local program manager for Washington Vocational Services, a private nonprofit contracted through San Juan County. Based out of Orcas, Cohn has 11 disabled clients in the San

Juans. The program, which is in Washington and Alaska, has been active in San Juan County for the past three years. “It’s very cool helping people make their dreams come true,” she said. “The obstacles are pretty tremendous ... it humbles me every morning when I wake up.” Cohn has lined up work for her clients at such places as the public school cafeteria, grocery stores and island shops. All six of her clients on Orcas are currently employed. Eastsound business owners Jill and Roger Curtiss have Crystal’s ID bracelets in their store Jillery and Ben Harlow and Ken Brown clean the shop in the morning with the assistance of a helper. “They don’t have a lot of opportunities here,” Jill said. “They are capable of doing a lot of things. They are reliable, they are always on time, they don’t call in sick. They are so happy to receive a

I-502: what it means for Washington state by JULIE SUMMERS contributor

On Election Day, Washington voters lived up to their progressive reputation by passing Initiative 502 to legalize recreational use of marijuana. The initiative passed with 55 percent statewide approval and an overwhelming 68 percent support in San Juan County, the largest margin in the state. A similar measure passed in Colorado, making Washington and Colorado the first two states to allow recreational marijuana. “Everybody’s talking about this now,” said San Juan County Prosecuting Attorney Randall Gaylord. “Everybody’s interested to see how it will unfold.” Local officials’ reactions vary widely. In an Oct. 24 guest column, Gaylord encouraged voters to carefully consider I-502 and stated that he would adapt his policies based on the results. One complication is that I-502 is slated to go into effect in 30 days, but the law is now

Now that the recreational use of marijuana is legal in Washington state, how will the feds govern the future of this drug? in direct conflict with federal law, which bans marijuana. Gaylord said there is a lot of speculation on how this will play out. Under the federal Controlled Substances Act, marijuana remains classified as a Schedule I controlled substance, alongside such hard

drugs as heroin and ecstasy. Schedule I drugs “have a high potential for abuse, no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the U.S., and there is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision,” according to the Drug Enforcement Administration, Although there are medical marijuana laws in 18 states and D.C. (the most recent just passed in Massachusetts) and there have been several attempts to reclassify marijuana, the federal government has yet to do so. In 2009, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced that federal prosecutors would essentially defer to state laws regarding medical marijuana, but it remains unclear whether that precedent will hold with recreational use. Gaylord points out that the conflict between state and federal laws could be complicated by the fact that Washington is a border

paycheck and feel some independence.” Once someone is employed, Cohn stays in constant contact to assure the business owner is satisfied. She says there are tax credits available to those who employ disabled workers. One of her most recent success stories was with a client on San Juan Island. “This young man’s dream is to become a film director,” Cohn said. “Using the high school, I found him a mentor and together we were able to develop a Facebook presence for the San Juan Island Food Co-op and he was able to do interviews and videotape them. He was glowing. He was alive. My heart burst wide open. It was so gratifying.” Cohn says it’s critical to help those with disabilities find jobs – for their well being as well as the island at large. “Working with all of our community members is critical to the

SHERIFF’S LOG

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

Oct. 31: An elderly Orcas Island man notified authorities of a case of attempted fraud after receiving a series of telephone calls claiming that he was the winner of a $2.5 million sweepstakes drawing. The 86-year-old reportedly received three calls from "International Sweepstakes," saying that all he had to do was pay the company a $2,500 fee in order to claim the multi-million dollar cash prize. The case and company remain under investigation. Nov. 2: A mid-afternoon fender-bender in Eastsound prompted the arrest of an Orcas Island man for DUI and hit-and-run. The 53-year-old reportedly rear-ended another car in the 200 block of A Street at about 2 p.m. and left the scene without exchanging information about insurance with the driver of the damaged vehicle. He reportedly was passed out behind the wheel of his SUV when officers arrived at his Indrayla Road home a short time later and took him into custody. Nov. 3: Someone reportedly stole more than $6,000 in jewelry and caused $3,000 in damage during a latenight break-in and theft at an Orcas Island restaurant and antique shop. An assortment of 51 rings and bands disappeared from the North Beach Road antique shop, which shares the same address as the restaurant, which also sustained damage to a pair doors. Whether any cash or equipment went missing from the restaurant was not listed in the incident report. – Two men reportedly refused to speak with deputies in the wake of a boating mishap in Blind Bay, in which the two ended up in the water off the shoreline of Shaw Island after their rowboat capsized at about 11 p.m. Both men, reportedly intoxicated at the time of the mishap, were rescued, attended to by paramedics and returned home before deputies on Orcas arrived at the scene. They were sent a boating accident report the following day with a 10-day deadline to be filled out and mailed back to authorities. Nov. 4: A late-night dispute between a former couple prompted the arrest of an Orcas woman accused of hitting her ex-boyfriend in the head with a shoe. The 34-year-old allegedly struck the 37-year-old man on the back of the head as he was leaving her Orion Lane apartment, and on the heels of heated argument that erupted into an altercation. The man reportedly had gone to her apartment to retrieve a cellphone SIM card at about 10 p.m. after putting an end to their six-month romantic relationship.

October was Americans with Disabilities Awareness month. Washington Vocational Services – the non-profit advocate for adults with disabilities on Orcas and throughout western Washington and Alaska – would like to acknowledge an exceptional employer on Orcas Island. This employer has demonstrated that people of all abilities and talents can work efficiently and effectively to help businesses thrive and, in turn, make our community stronger. Jillery has been a shining example of how we can all work together. In the past month, Jill and Roger Curtiss have hired employees and discovered “supported employment,” i.e. employment that assures that an employee who has a disability has one-on-one assistance and as well as assures that quality work is maintained as the standard. Other than having hired employees, Jillery plans to feature local hand-crafted jewelry made by a young woman who has disabilities who, with support, runs her own jewelry-making business here on Orcas Island. Please look for “Designs by Crystal” when you shop for the holidays at Jillery! Your support will encourage other local business owners to consider and experience the advantages of including all people who have various talents and strengths in their hiring practices. Congratulations to Jillery for being a model for us all! Cara Cohn and Zoe Fine Washington Vocational Services

to Korea, I think about how sad his mom probably was because he didn’t have a choice. This is one reason we should honor veterans, because they put their own lives aside to make ours better. You might think veterans are people who are older like my grandpa, but the truth is there are veterans who are still very young. These are people we honor who have fought in places like Afghanistan and Iraq. I honor these men and women for being brave and having the courage to want to protect the freedoms and rights of others. I wish the world were a peaceful place, and we didn’t need armies and fighting. Until that day comes, I am very grateful for the veterans who have served our country and the world. Cole Smith Seventh grade Freedom, something we take for granted every day. Do we ever stop and think about who risked their lives to give us that freedom? Some of those people who fought for our freedom are the people we see every day. Dr. Steven Bailey served in the army and the navy. The best part he said for him was traveling. When he was stationed in Korea, he met his wife Rita. One thing that made it hard was that he was away from his family. He said he once had to be deployed for six months. One of the hardest parts for his wife was the low income. For the kids, it was their dad’s deployment. When Dr. Bailey returned from his times away, he made sure to spend time with his family. When Dr. Bailey was deployed his son, who was six at the time, missed him badly. Mrs. Bailey remembers him cryMailing/Street address P.O.

That one vote was the vote of his son, Christian Bailey. When Dr. Bailey was in the army, he was an intelligence analyst. Intelligence analysts work with the information about opponents. He went into the army right out of high school. After serving, he became a dentist and the military paid for his dental schooling. Dr. Bailey says he never regretted serving, and that if he had the opportunity, he would be willing to serve again. Serving taught him discipline and about the different cultures in the world. As a veteran Dr. Bailey said he feels appreciated, and that the appreciation for veterans is much better now compared to the time of Vietnam. I am very grateful for the services of all the veterans.

LETTERS FROM 4 people are not being treated for, and are left to suffer; even though their disabilities were caused from serving our country.” “I served in the military because it was a family tradition; all of my uncles did it. I also wanted to be patriotic, to do something for my country, and to serve and be a part of our nation’s freedom,” said Jerry. “Boot camp was, well, first they give you a really, really short haircut; so there is basically none left. Then we do a lot of marching, training, and physical activity. They were long, hard hours, but I can see why we did it. I can see why the training was so physical and strenuous. It was a drastic change from civilian life to military life,” my great uncle said. Life in the military is tough. They train, eat, sleep, and then train some more. When soldiers have reached their physical peak, they are sent off to war knowing their own life is at risk. Veterans, who have fought in the war, have given us what we take for granted most- our freedom. So, why are they treated without respect? Or even recognition?

WWW.ISLANDSSOUNDER.cOm

Recent studies suggest that one third of 1.7 million Veterans suffer from unemployment, depression, mental and physical disabilities. Many do not receive proper treatment; many are homeless. We should guarantee training and a job for all veterans when they come back from war. We should give health insurance and medical treatment for all who served our country. They have willingly put their lives on the line for our freedom; let’s show them some respect. Veterans are our heroes, and deserve our appreciation and gratitude. Maddy Hance Eighth grade

It’s slick, so be safe Yesterday morning, while walking out my door, I became my own patient. I was walking down the steps of my own home, with a computer in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other. Before I even knew it, I was on my back on the steps! The coffee flew, but the computer was saved. “Ouch,” I said – as well as a few other things. I was on my way to the fire department and became my own first call of the shift! Luckily I bounced, and still made it

to work on time, with just a bruised back and ego. Moral of this story: winter is around the corner! So be prepared and be especially careful walking when frost or snow is likely. Fall prevention is easy and lifesaving. If you have questions, or need suggestions in how to make your or a loved one’s environment safer, be sure to contact us.

Art, education go hand-in-hand

The martial arts and dance troupe Nanda performing for Orcas students. by BarBara Kline

Superintendent/Principal, Orcas School District

Many of you may know that the superintendent of the Orcas Island School District is automatically a member of the Orcas Center Board. This was established by the founders of the Orcas Center and demonstrates the close relationship that was envisioned between the school district and the center from the beginning. As an example of that close relationship, on Oct. 26 our students were treated to the very exciting production of Nanda, a martial arts and dance troupe, that the students thoroughly enjoyed. That was only one of many artistic experiences that the Orcas Center has provided for students at no charge to the school. School and the center staff have also often worked together to obtain grants for special programming and events and to provide dance and theater instruction and other arts programming for students.

In addition our students have opportunities to perform at the center through Orcas Center and community productions. The Orcas Center has been a fabulous showcase for our students’ dance and musical talents and is the venue for the long standing student art show in May. As a member of the board I know that the last few years have been difficult financial ones for the Orcas Center as they have been for other island organizations. The Orcas Center is not a wealthy organization and ticket sales do not cover the cost of most performances. Memberships make up a large portion of the Orcas Center’s annual budget and this year, we are asking as many of us as possible to become “stars” and join or rejoin the center as members. As the superintendent, I am very happy to serve on the board of Orcas Center. As a community member, I am pleased to renew my membership once again at the Orcas Center and hope that you will do the same.

Orcas Fire department approves 2013 budget by Cali BaGBY Staff reporter

A handful of islanders – mainly Orcas Island Fire and Rescue staff and volunteers – showed up to an evening meeting at the Eastsound station on Nov. 12. Several key items on the agenda were finalizing the 2013 budget and discussing the Sheriff ’s public safety vessel grant. “This has been one of the most discussed and modified budgets we have considered,” said Commissioner Jim Coffin. “I am very comfortable with what we have.” The 2013 operations budget is $1,587,053 in order to maintain the same budget as last year. The estimated revenue for 2013 is $2,103,100 and the estimated revenue from 2012 is $2,059,600. Additions to this year’s budget include $50,000 toward volunteer and career staff medical benefits and $13,000 to increase the volunteer response stipend from $15 per alarm to $20, for a total increase of $63,000. “It’s one of our best budgets,” said Commissioner Clyde Duke, who attended the meeting via teleconference.

After finalizing the budget, the commissioners moved on to discuss the San Juan County Sheriff ’s Office recent announcement that it has been awarded a Federal Port Security Grant of up to $785,000 to acquire an emergency response boat to be available to fire agencies and emergency medical services as well as law enforcement.

Commissioner Barbara Bedell was concerned that the recent press release, (Sounder edition, Nov. 14) made it sound like OIFR and the Sheriff ’s Office were all in agreement, but nothing has been decided yet. Fire Chief Kevin O’Brien volunteered the idea to hold a meeting to receive ideas and create a discussion about the vessel with the community. Coffin added that he wanted to expand the discussion not just to the public safety vessel, but for input on various activity outside of the district, especially when it comes to on-water transport. The commissioners set a date for the meeting on Jan. 9 at 5 p.m. in the Eastsound Fire Hall. Coffin said that OIFR would be happy to contribute personnel and equipment to a “sister agency,” but not fund something entirely. “Paying the sheriff for transporting ALS patients off-island when they can’t fly I’d like to think has saved some lives,” said Coffin com-

menting on the importance of having a safer vessel. He then asked the question: What is the difference between individuals paying for a sheriff boat transport and paying for a helicopter transport? He also mentioned that a solution might be to have the sheriff bill patients for transport. O’Brien said that early ballpark figures point to about 20,000 in 2013 and up to 23,680 in 2015 for a financial obligation by the OIFR in regards to the new vessel. He added that patients transported by boat are as follows: eight in 2010, three in 2011, and three in 2012. Duke said OIFR needs time to consider the situation. “The voters should be engaged,” he said. “We’re changing the game a bit.” The last item discussed was Rick Anda’s recent request for retirement from his position as financial officer. OIFR is currently looking for his replacement. “We will miss him in a big way,” said O’Brien.

state with increased federal law enforcement presence. Officers of the Coast Guard, U.S. Customs, and other federal agencies, he says, follow federal law, and users in line with the Washington law may still be prosecuted under certain circumstances, such as the use of marijuana in a national park.

Taking a stand In an Oct. 17 letter to the editor, Sheriff Rob Nou urged the community to join with him in voting no on I-502, warning that youth and communities

would be at risk. “It puts the state in the marijuana business, in competition with the current drug traffickers,” he wrote. Others, like former Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper, contend that I-502 will in fact take business, and therefore power, away from dangerous drug dealers. Stamper argued in an Oct. 31 letter to the editor that I-502 does not promote marijuana use, but rather “ends decades of harm caused by marijuana prohibition.” Legal regulation, he wrote, will actually make communities safer, pointing out that street traffickers do not card 14-year-olds.

Financial issues concerned voters on both sides of the issue. The Washington State Office of Financial Management predicts the measure could generate as much as $1.9 billion in tax revenue over five years. However, opponents remain concerned about the costs incurred by a potential increase in drug abuse and drug-related crime and car accidents. “Currently the social costs related to alcohol are around $185 billion,” said Lopez Island Prevention Coalition Executive Coordinator Georgeana Cook, referring to a 2004 World Health Organization global status report on alcohol, “and of that, less than 8 percent is covered by taxes and penalties.” The local prevention community is concerned about the result. Cook said the number one concern is the health and safety of youth. “My first question is ‘What message are we giving to our youth and how will this affect them?’” she asked.

na are a bit deceiving. It is still illegal to drive impaired and to display or consume marijuana in public. As of Dec. 6, it will be legal for adults 21 and older to possess up to one ounce of useable marijuana, sixteen ounces of marijuanainfused product in solid form, or 72 ounces of marijuana-infused product in liquid form. But sale and purchase for non-medical use will remain illegal until state regulations are put in place, which could take up to a year. Use and possession by minors is strictly prohibited, and adults who provide marijuana to minors will be prosecuted, just like with alcohol. Gaylord said he will speak with Jenny Durkan, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington, which could give him an indication of the feds’ intentions. He plans to coordinate with Nou to ensure a consistent county policy, and will also speak with school and community prevention groups so they’re aware of what is being done to keep marijuana out of minors’ hands. Nou said the passage of I-502 creates “a very muddy picture” in the short term. “This is pretty much uncharted waters,” he said. “On the enforcement side

it’s almost nightmarish.” Now that the law has passed, he said, it is his job to enforce it. But like Gaylord, he has concerns about the state/federal conflict, especially as it pertains to San Juan County’s marine traffic. He won’t speculate on potential federal intervention, but said, “I think we’re a long way from full implementation of this law.” Gaylord said the process could get complicated. But,

JOBS

he stressed, it is important for people to understand that they will continue to be prosecuted if the law is violated – regardless of what that law is. Nou said his biggest concern is the messaging. “It is much more complicated than simply saying ‘marijuana is now legal,’” he said. “People will have to be diligent in researching it and knowing what the boundaries are.”

Hofmann finishes college football career by MARTY ZIER Sports contributor

Navigation. It is an inherent skill in the Hofmann family. Mark Hofmann uses it as a commercial fisherman to deal with changes where his catch might be and his son Kyle has used it to deal with life changes. Kyle, class of Orcas High School 2009, is nearing the end of his college football career at Pacific Lutheran University. But his path has been anything but direct. Although on the Vikings football team as a 6’3’’,

280-pound freshman and sophomore, Kyle’s heart was somewhere between the baseline and three point line on the basketball court. But as is often the case, when one door closes, a door of opportunity opens another. He found himself misplaced and frustrated on the JV basketball squad in his sophomore year. An impromptu conversation with Vikings football coach Scott Harris was inspiration for a new, but familiar direction: football. Kyle’s skillful junior Viking year was a change in course that caught col-

lege coaches’ attentive eyes, mainly Washington State University and University of Montana. U of M tendered an offer for the offensive lineman to play in Missoula. His freshman year in Montana looked promising, as the Grizzles had an undefeated season, but team success shifted the tide, resulting in a new coaching staff. Kyle felt again like the wrong kid on the JV squad without a supportive coach in his corner. Time to plot a new course. Enter Harris. Kyle had talked to his

End of season for v-ball

parents, Mark and Dianna, about his frustrations and before long Harris contacted Dianna’s alma mater, Pacific Lutheran University. It was a perfect fit. Starting as a junior and now 6’4” and 300 pounds, Kyle was a starting offensive guard in the Northwest Conference League. This past Saturday, PLU played Linfield in a NCAA Division III playoff. If the team lost, it will be Kyle’s last game (the Sounder went to press before results were known). Looking ahead, he will find his way amongst the currents and find a way

The Lady Vikings volleyball team ended their 2012 season with a very respectable fourth place finish in the Bi-District Tournament in Stanwood on Nov. 10. The previous week the Vikings qualified for the Bi-District Tournament with a third place finish in the District 1 tournament held in Mt. Vernon. Facing the toughest seeding and the longest path to finish in the top three, Orcas won the first two matches against Sea-Tac League opponents starting with a 3-1 win versus Cross Point Academy and continued the momentum with a 3-0 victory over Seattle Lutheran. “It was clear from the start that the serve and serve receive game would be crucial to the team’s chances for success, and the girls did just well enough to defeat their two first opponents,” said coach Hank Date. The unranked Orcas hitters then faced the number one, five and nine ranked teams in the state vying for the top three spots advancing to the state playoffs in Yakima. The Vikings battled strong against La Conner in the first two games but stumbled in the last games, ending in a 3-1 loss. After 14 games over seven hours,

reveals a different story. We have lost an estimated 59 percent of the area of our tidal marshes since 1884, a far higher percentage than any other Puget Sound county. Shoreline properties developed since 1977 have lost an average of 20 percent of their shoreline trees. Elevated levels of pesticides permeate many San Juan County streams, lakes, and ponds. And although people grow tired of hearing that Westcott Bay has lost most of its eelgrass and all associated herring spawning, it is a big deal to lose one of only four herring spawning regions in the islands. When you add the fact that bulkheads and other armoring cover nearly onefifth of documented fish spawning beaches in the San Juans, our community has already lost a lot of space for wildlife. But it’s not just the wildlife – we lose a part of our identity that celebrates our wild shorelines. The coal terminal may lead to devastating impacts to our shorelines.

streams, wetlands, and marine shorelines will do the same. On Nov. 27, you can tell the county council to adopt protections that apply local and regional science and that allow development while accommodating our most sensitive natural neighbors. They deserve it. And since seven years have passed since the deadline for this ordinance, let’s get it done now, and let’s get it done right.

tion into our streams, lakes, and seas. And this number doesn’t include the numerous exemptions or buffer decreases authorized by the ordinance as well. For example, it would force the county to permit new buildings as close to the shorelines as adjacent, existing structures, fossilizing development patterns that arose before we knew just how important natural shorelines are for animals like salmon and orcas. According to the Washington State Department of Ecology (who knows about this sort of thing), it would protect far less habitat than needed for sensitive wetland-dependent frogs and salamanders. It would even allow the construction of septic tanks in streams, not that that would be a great idea. Recent letters to the editor suggest that we don’t need environmental protections as strong as other counties because our community voluntarily protects our ecosystems better than they do. Local science, however,

Orcas Island Fire and Rescue members had the opportunity to visit Tim Ordwing, who experienced a sudden cardiac arrest on the morning of Sept. 25 at the Glenwood Springs Salmon Hatchery on Orcas. Community members at the hatchery witnessed the collapse and immediately started CPR while others called 911. Within minutes, members from OIFR arrived to render assistance and continue CPR. An Auto External Defibrillator and other emergency medical procedures were initiated, resulting in a positive outcome for Tim. Once stabilized, he was flown to St. Joseph’s Hospital. Tim is recovering very well and he and his wife Sue offered their gratitude on Oct. 17 to the islanders who helped him. OIFR’s CPR class is 7 p.m. on the first Monday of every month. First Aid classes are 9 a.m. on every third Saturday. Call 376-2331 to sign up.

On Nov. 3, more than 400 community members gathered for a coal scoping hearing where over 95 percent of the public testimony energetically expressed concerns about a proposed coal shipping terminal at Cherry Point. That sizable turnout confirms just how deeply our island communities care about the biological vibrancy and natural beauty of our surroundings. Yet this devotion lessens when the focus shifts from the potential impacts of large corporations exporting coal to the certain but incremental local impacts of our individual decisions about how to develop the land. It shouldn’t. Whether a spawning beach is covered by oil or eroded, or covered, by a bulkhead, the same fish must look for a new home. San Juan County is on the verge of adopting one of the weakest critical areas ordinances in the Puget Sound region. The ordinance’s buffers are designed to allow 40 percent of all local pollu-

A scene from “The Magic Flute.”

A night of magic by CALI BAGBY

Staff reporter

he first time I heard the “Queen of the Night” aria from “The Magic Flute” I was 14. It was one of those memories I can still see, or should I say hear, clearly. It was my first delicious taste of Mozart’s work. I loved the power of the orchestra pushing forward like stars exploding. The soprano’s voice was dark and resonating and then magically high, light and bright sailing overhead – it was an inhuman sound. It was the most beautiful sound on earth. For years I chased the dream of hitting those high Fs and taking to the stage in all the fury and splendor of a great diva. I studied music for eight years, but when the road I walked started to split, I chose a different path – shutting my music books and picking up the pen starting what would be a career in journalism. But I still carry a love for opera with me. Several weeks ago I attended the HD screening of the opera “Otello” at Orcas Center and was transported into a world of high drama, sweeping

choral music, sword fights and heartbreaking arias. “Isn’t it amazing that we can see this quality of a show right here on the island?” said Artha Kass, the center’s front of house manager, in the lobby during intermission. I had to agree. Here we were on the other side of the country watching the famous soprano Renee Fleming sing her heart out at the Metropolitan Opera House. It was also wonderful to see Kass’ contagious delight in opera. Seven years ago, Kass started watching these screenings from the Met at a theater in Mt. Vernon, Wash. At some point she and Deborah Sparks, theatre productions director, decided they had to bring these shows to Orcas. They received a grant and started fundraising. “We eventually had to turn people away,” said Kass about the overwhelming financial support from the community. Since the beginning of the opera screenings, Kass has been to every show. “I’ve seen more Met shows here than I ever did when I lived in New York because I couldn’t afford to go as often,” she said. And the shows continue. “The Tempest” was shown last Sunday and “The Magic Flute” is showing Saturday, Dec. 1, 6:30 p.m. at Orcas Center. This abridged 100-min-

A Cappella brings ‘Tidings of Joy’ Montessori wreath sale

contributed photo

Islands A Cappella will perform on Nov. 30.

Islands A Cappella presents “Tidings of Joy: a festival of songs for the holidays” at the Rosario Resort Music Room, Nov. 30 at 6 p.m. The group has solidified their sound after spending last summer in Italy. Islands A Cappella joined 4,000 other choristers, singers, instrumentalists, conductors and composers in Turin, Italy at the Europa Cantat. For 10 days, musicians took over every performance and rehearsal space in this “little Paris of Italy,” to study, learn, and perform every kind of vocal and instrumental music imaginable. In one

case, they even invaded a cooking school, to spend mornings singing about Italian food and then cooking it (and eating it, too). They met and sang with choristers from all over Europe but were the only group from the U.S. After performing their own open-air concert on a stage in the Borgo Mediavale, they were often hailed at other events as “that famous American choir,” much to everyone’s amusement. About 30 seconds of that “famous” concert were broadcast, along with other Festival clips, on Italian public television. Prior to arriving in Turin, Islands A Cappella spent 4 days touring in the Lake Como area. Concerts were presented in three of the communities surrounding the lake. The group presented a varied program, emphasizing American music and composers. Most popular with the Italian audiences were the American spirituals and the compositions of James Hardman, an Orcas resident composer. Choristers were wined and dined as well as applauded by their hosts. Director Angel Michaels apparently charmed local dignitaries by attempting to introduce the selections in broken Italian, with much coaching and assistance from the ACFEA tour manager. Tickets, $10 for adults and free for students, for the upcoming show are available in advance at Darvill’s or at the door.

‘Hotbed Hotel’ auditions at Grange

The Actors Theater of Orcas Island is holding auditions for the upcoming play “Hotbed Hotel” by Michael Parker. “Hotbed Hotel” is a comic farce with a cast of five women and four men in a wide range of ages. Rehearsals will begin in early December with seven performances between Feb. 15 and March 3. Auditions will be held at the Grange on Sunday, Nov. 25 at 2 p.m. and Monday, Nov. 26 at 7 p.m. A copy of the script is available at the counter at the Orcas Library. For more information, contact Doug Bechtel, the director at 317-5601. Roles being cast include Hopkins, hotel handyman, a natural comic, usually tipsy, occasionally drunk; Terri, wife of the hotel manager, smart, competent yet tender and patient; Brian, hotel manager, kind, helpful and naive; Ponsenby, British military officer, eccentric with a sparkling dry wit; Maureen, hotel maid, young, full of energy, not a brain in her head; Sam Lewis, guest at the hotel, loud and brash; Ashley; Sam's girlfriend, gorgeous and kind; Hayley, called the barracuda; Dorothy, Sam’s severe and matronly wife.
