2012

A Year in Review The following top stories of 2012 are based on staff picks, website statistics and reader feedback.

#1 SJC voters help

make history

San Juan County voters came out in strong numbers to cast their opinions this election season. Turnout was 89.39 percent – the highest in Washington state. County Auditor Milene Henley said that the three significant charter propositions, three council member elections, a local citizen initiative about GMOs, and the state referendum on same-sex marriage all helped to turn out the vote. She also suggested that the marijuana initiative may have further encouraged a high voter turnout. Island voters played an important role in passing those measures. It was a sweeping triumph for Initiative Measure 2012-4 with 62 percent of the vote. The measure, proposed by organic farmers and others in San Juan County, makes it unlawful to propagate or grow plants or animals in San Juan County which have been genetically modified and provides for penalties and destruction of such organisms. The results were close for Referendum 74, legalizing gay marriage: 54 percent of Washington voters approved the measure while 46 percent rejected it. In San Juan County, the measure was overwhelmingly approved: 71 percent to 29 percent. Referendum 74 allows gay couples to marry and preserves domestic partnerships for seniors and the right of religious organizations to refuse to perform or recognize any mar-

riage ceremony. The law went into effect on Dec. 6. Washington voters also passed 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.

#2 Charter Review changes approved

Only some bells and a few of the whistles remain. On Nov. 6, San Juan County voters unhinged major planks of the county charter and, in an 180-degree about face, put a decisive end to the reign of a six-person council and its appointed administrator. No single issue dominated the Sounder opinion pages, or cast a longer shadow over 12 months of the year, than did the review of the county home rule charter or the subsequent changes recommended by the Charter Review Commission. Battle lines arose quickly, and firmly, with many former freeholders, architects of the six-person council, administrator and district-only elections, contesting both the process and the ideas of the CRC. In the other camp, a host of former elected county officials came out in favor of the CRC-endorsed changes. In the end, voters opted to jettison many of the changes that they themselves ushered in six years earlier, re-bundle as before the executive and legislative branches of county government, and reconstitute the council into three fulltime legislators.

#3 Islanders protest

coal terminal

Friday Harbor High School’s Hall Gym has seen plenty of sizable crowds in its day. But probably none so large, or as vocal, or as single-minded as the 400 or so-plus people who showed up Nov. 3 to let their opposition to the prospects of super-sized cargo carrying shipments of raw coal through the San Juans be known. Convened by state and federal officials, the meeting was part of the information gathering element for a mandatory environmental impact statement for the controversial Gateway Terminal Project. Proposed by Seattle-based SSA Marine, the terminal, which, if approved, would be built in the industrial area of Cherry Point, just north of Bellingham. It would be an export facility for coal

mined in the midwest, carried by rail through Washington, and then shipped through the Salish Sea and Juan de Fuca Strait to markets in Asia. At full capacity the terminal would be capable of shipping 48 million tons of coal, with as many as 450 giant cargo ships transiting each year through the San Juans. Given the environmental risks, islanders banded together in saying “No to Coal.”

#4 Solid waste gets overhaul

After voters in 2011 rejected the county council’s proposed property tax parcel fee to fund solid waste operations, the council thought about carrying out its threat to close the three county dumps on Orcas, San Juan and Lopez Islands. The Lopez Island Solid

“What a tremendous experience we all had thanks to the Miró Quartet!” Ned Griffin, Conductor of Island Sinfonia, said. The community musicians had looked forward to their master class with the world famous Miró Quartet, and on a rainy December day at Emmanuel Episcopal Church Parish Hall, the workshop took place. The Miró Quartet, featuring Daniel Ching, William Fedkenheuer, John Largess and Joshua Gindele, was on island performing for Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival’s “Leaves of Gold” Fundraising Concert. Island Sinfonia, comprised of both adult and student musicians, has orchestra members from Orcas, Lopez, Shaw and San Juan Islands. They selected two works to perform for the coaching session: Dvorak’s “Czech Suite” and Copland’s “Variations on a Shaker Melody.” The Miró Quartet then offered guidance to the musicians, emphasizing technical, practical and listening skills. “I am so grateful for the insights they gave us to improve our playing.

Man sentenced for Valentine’s Day hit and run by Cali Bagby Staff reporter

An Orcas Island man was sentenced to nine years in prison in the wake of a vehicular rampage and high-speed collision in February that left another man paralyzed from the waist down. On June 29, Gary Shawn Mobley, 43, pleaded guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to three counts of vehicular assault and to reckless driving. He was ordered to serve a total of nine years in prison and to pay $189,315 in fines and fees. He is also expected to pay more than $190,000 in court-ordered restitution to two men injured in the midFebruary collision. According to prosecu-

tors, Mobley intentionally ran his car into an Orcas Island man and injured his leg on the night of Nov. 19. Prosecutors also stated that in a separate incident, Mobley ran his car into another vehicle in the early morning hours of Feb. 15, near the intersection of Crow Valley and Orcas roads. The driver of the other vehicle was paralyzed as a result of the crash. The crash was the culmination of several events involving Mobley, the two men who were in the car he struck, and two women with whom Mobley had been romantically involved with as well. According to court documents, Mobley and the two men, both of whom are

from off-island, “smoked drugs” on the night of Feb. 14 and he then accused each of them throughout the night of having separate affairs with two women that he was dating. When one of the women got into a car with the two men, Mobley then pursued them in his vehicle and slammed into their car several times. At the intersection of Crow Valley and Orcas Roads, he again ran into their vehicle, causing it to roll onto its side. Mobley reportedly had been traveling at speeds of 50-80 miles per hour during the pursuit.

One of the two men fled the scene, the other was trapped inside the car. Extricating the driver from the wreckage required an extensive effort by Orcas Fire and Rescue personnel. He was then airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where doctors determined that the man’s spine had been fractured and displaced, and that his spinal cord had been damaged. Paralyzed from the waist down, he is presumed in need of medical attention for the remainder of his life. The man who fled the scene suffered fractured ribs

and a foot injury, while the woman in the car suffered back and neck injuries, as a result of the crash. According to prosecutors, Mobley, who surrendered five days after the incident, admitted to consuming methamphetamine prior to the crash, and that he was consumed by rage when he committed the offenses. He previously had been convicted of three counts of battery and of possession of drugs and paraphernalia.

Two wins for b-ball The Viking girls and boys basketball teams met the Lions in Concrete on Dec. 19 with both teams bringing back victories. The girls won 60-39 and the boys won 63-59. The Lady Vikings (3-1) played even with Concrete to the end of the second half with a tie 25-25 but tamed the Lions to only two third quarter points, ending the quarter 43-27. The Viking Boys (2-2) struggled with the Lions, down 16-10 after the first quarter and 32-23 at halftime. The Orcas offense initially struggled to get shots from the paint but a determined Jack Gates forced drive after drive, eventually helping to get the Lions in foul trouble. By the end of the third quarter, still down 48-40, the Vikings began their push helped from strong boards from Rylan Date and Jake Zier. With three minutes left in the game, the Vikings tied the game, stiffened their defense and held on for the dramatic win in the last moments.

Editorial

To the Editor:

Steel, speed and spirits do not mix

Thanks for a wonderful holiday gathering

he most chilling noise in a drunk driving collision comes after the crash. When you tell someone that terrible news, that their son or daughter is dead, they make a certain mourning sound. It sounds like their heart is coming through their ribs. An EMT said this to a gym full of students during a drunk driving assembly several years ago. It has stayed with us all this time. We hope it made an impression on the kids as well. While it is critical to bring that message home to young people, there is a segment of the population that needs education on the topic as well: grown-ups. When intoxicated adults get behind the wheel of a car, they are driving a lethal weapon, too. If you’ve been drinking – or smoking pot – don’t drive. It’s that simple. Adults are subject to the very same consequences to which our youth are vulnerable: the loss of driving privileges, jail time, lawsuits, and a lifetime of guilt. In the spirit of safety, Orcas Island Taxi is offering free rides home on New Year’s Eve. Call 376-8294. Also, all tips from that night will go to the food bank. Who do you think our kids learn from first? Us. When teens see their parents planning a night out responsibly, it sets a good example – for now and later. Adult drinking and driving is a real problem, even here. Take a look at the sheriff’s log on any given month with its myriad of DUI entries. So where’s the adult education? We could all stand to be reminded of what too much liquor and two tons of steel can do.

Orcas Fire and Rescue

From Nov. 13 through Dec. 11, the following calls came in: EMS – 42 (562 year to date) and Fire – 16 (183 year to date). Year to date responses have increased 12 percent. Thank you to Orcas taxpayers! In 1999 Orcas voters approved a bond initiative to improve fire and EMS services for our island. Our service has improved and we are pleased to announce that Orcas Island Fire and Rescue has made its last bond payment early saving taxpayers three years of interest amounting to $69,420. The original bond total was $2,000,000, issued in 2000 with the first payment in 2001 and scheduled to continue through 2014. The bond was issued to facilitate the following improved projects: construction of the Eastsound Fire Station; purchase of the Westsound Fire Station; construction of the Deer Harbor Fire Station; the purchase of six fire engines, two tanker trucks, and a rescue truck; enhancement of benefits for the volunteers of OIFR. Administrative Assistant Lindsay Schirmer visited the Valley Regional Fire Authority to observe their operations and administrative practices. I attended San Juan County Fire Chief ’s meeting in Friday Harbor. Agenda items included 911 Communications and the public safety vessel grant.

Sally Kass has been hired as the new District Financial Officer. She has a home in the Orcas Landing area and is in the process of moving here full time from California. She has extensive experience in all areas of business administration. Over the last nine months since you hired me, I have been evaluating the overall performance and reliability of our great organization. I am proud and grateful to be a member of OIFR, as I think we accomplish great things. Part of my analysis has been the comprehensive evaluation of the division chief program. While I believe the people who are the division chiefs are amazing professionals for whom I hold a high level of respect, I have come to the conclusion that the program does not achieve the best results for our operations. With the support of our commissioners, we will be making some organizational changes targeted for Jan. 1, 2013: the division chief program will end. An organizational structure that I believe will best serve the people of Orcas Island is establishing an assistant chief to help me in managing our operations. I am pleased to announce that Division Chief Mik Preysz has accepted the position. Mik is an excellent chief officer with many years of experience in public service. His new position will begin on Jan. 1 and he will maintain his paramedic certification. An announcement for the full time firefighter/ maintenance technician is being advertised. After testing and interviews, I hope to have the position filled by Feb. 1. Captain Chad Kimple and Lieutenant Rich Harvey have been commissioned in an acting capacity. They have received promotions to “tenured” positions. Orcas Island Fire and Rescue is proud to announce the recruitment of 22 new members who will begin their training this week at “Recruit Orientation.”

TOP STORIES FROM 1 Waste Alternatives Project and a vocal group of Orcas and San Juan Island citizens quickly put the kibosh on that idea. Lopez Island citizenactivists organized their own solution, convincing the county council to create a “solid waste disposal district” funded by a local property tax ballot proposition that was approved by more than 85 percent of Lopez voters in November. On Orcas and San Juan islands, Public Works Director Frank Mulcahy issued requests for proposals from potential private operators. Cimarron Trucking, the Anacortes-based company that hauls Orcas trash to the mainland for disposal by Waste Management, seemed the likely winner to take over and operate both stations. But nonprofit Orcas Recycling Services, operator of a reuse program at the Orcas facility, had other ideas. After negotiations for joint Cimarron/ORS operations failed, the council directed Mulcahy to negotiate an operations agreement solely with ORS. Operations of the Sutton Road transfer station on San Juan Island followed a somewhat similar path. Cimarron made a bid that seemed to be in the lead, but a joint-venture of “wasteto-energy” company Kentec Energy USA, the American affiliate of Kentec Energy LTD Korea, and Lautenbach Industries, a Skagit County solid waste processor, convinced the county selection committee and the council to choose their “total waste” approach. Final contracts are being negotiated, with transfer of operations to private hands expected within 90 days.

#5 Orcas School reopens library and passes bond

When the school library was closed this fall due to budget cuts, students and adults sprung into action. Kids sold wrapping paper through the Orcas Island Education Foundation’s “Unwrap the Library” fundraiser. Fourth grader Madison Todd and sixth grader Sabrina Bailey were the top sellers, coming in at nearly $1,000 each. Thanks to the students’ hard work, donations from the community and a com-

mitment from the school board, the library re-opened on Oct. 8. A chunk of the overall $43,000 goal had been met. Gross sales for the wrapping paper fundraiser were $14,000 with the foundation netting $6,500. OIEF also received direct donations of more than $9,000 and the school board voted to add $10,000 to the cause. A month later, voters passed the $11.9 million Orcas Island School bond measure. It was sigh of relief for school administration, after two previous bond measures failed: one for $35 million in February 2010 and a pared-down version for $27 million in August 2010. The November 2012 measure was approved by 64 percent and rejected by 36 percent of Orcas voters. The bond is for 20 years. The terms are 26 cents per $1,000. The money will be used for building renovations. Voters also approved a two-year general technology capital projects levy by 68 percent. It is $.06 per $1,000 assessed value, will pay for modernizing the school’s technology facilities.

February after 35 years as a police officer on Orcas. As the longest-running employee in the history of the Sheriff ’s Department, he was with his fellow islanders through it all: car crashes, suicides, domestic violence, break-ins, drug busts and speeding tickets. Community members thanked Vierthaler in a Sounder special section and a huge celebration was held at the fire hall. “He will be missed,” said Sheriff Rob Nou. “I have always valued what he does, his dependability, his consistency, his dedication and commitment and his leadership. He’s well liked and well respected.”

#7 Orcas man to

be deported

When a neighbor, Natalie White, suffered a stroke it was Benjamin Nunez Marquez who agreed to drive her to the hospital. She was afraid of flying and Nunez volunteered for the task. But in that act of kindness everything would change. It was also an act that coincided with border patrol upping the ante at the Anacortes ferry terminal. In 2008, Nunez was stopped as he and Natalie drove off the ferry and, when questioned, it became apparent that Nunez was not a U.S. citizen, thus starting him on a path including public outcry, an outpouring of support and a one-way ticket back to Mexico.

Nunez’s employers, Jack and Jan Helsell, owners of West Sound Lumber Company, hired lawyers and in 2011 applied for a year-long extension on the deportation so that they could find someone to fill his position at the mill. But the Helsells have yet to find anything close to a replacement. After placing ads in various media they realized most applicants were either unable to operate the oldfashioned mill or could not relocate to the islands. Nunez is scheduled to be deported to Mexico in January. His mark on the community will not only be left

in the memory of friends he made but in the beams of the Stage on the Green, on the planks of wood on the Channel Road Bridge and the barns and homes of various islanders. “This was the best time of my life,” Nunez said.

#8 Maria Massey search ends in tragedy

The investigation continues in the death of an Orcas Island woman, who was discovered on Nov. 22 after she was reported missing the day before. Maria Massey, 26, of

Deer Harbor, went missing in the early morning hours of Nov. 21 after her vehicle was found crashed into a tree in the 2600 block of Crow Valley Road. She was not found at the site of the accident. Massey, according to the Sheriff ’s Department, had reportedly left her house sometime around midnight and had not been seen or heard from since. The Orcas Island Fire Department organized a search party on Nov. 21 and 22. Her body was found at 9:05 a.m., four-tenths of mile from the scene of the wreck, close to a pump house in a

A completed autopsy showed she did not sustain injuries from the car accident that would have led to her death, according to County Coroner Randy Gaylord. A pending toxicology report could reveal more information. “There is every indication that she died of exposure,” said Gaylord explaining that the weather was extremely cold at 35 degrees with steady rain and wind. “We have no explanation to why she went off the road,” he added. Massey was active in the theater community on Orcas Island and was known for her beautiful voice. An outpouring of loving messages have flooded Massey’s Facebook page with words like, “We will always remember you Maria!” and “I’ll miss you and your headstrong smile.”

#9 O’Brien

named new Orcas Fire Chief As a boy, Kevin O’Brien had dreams about hopping on a firetruck to fight blazes of fire. As an adult, he’s been realizing that passion for two decades. Now the Orcas native is fulfilling another aspiration: leading his community’s fire department. “I feel awesome. I can’t tell you how excited I am to be offered the opportunity to do this,” he said. “I think the fire department is incredible. It’s a dream come true, honestly.” Fire Chief Mike Harris formally passed his title on to O’Brien on March 1. Harris had been the chief since 2008. The Orcas Fire Board of Commissioners announced their appointment of O’Brien on Feb. 9. O’Brien has more than 20 years of emergency medical and fire/rescue experience with the Valley Regional Fire Authority in Auburn, Wash., where he rose to the

rank of Battalion Chief. He graduated from Orcas Island High School in 1984 and earned a Bachelor of Science in Political Science from the University of Washington. In 2006, O’Brien returned to Orcas with wife Nancy and three sons.

#10 CAO finally

gets green light

After nearly seven years of stops, starts, fits and an ever-present tug-of-war, the San Juan County Council voted 5-1 in approving a package of regulatory revisions to the critical areas ordinance. Councilman Rich Peterson, North San Juan, cast the sole vote in dissent. Mandated by the state for counties whose longrange planning is dictated by the Growth Management Act, update of the critical areas ordinance, which covers fish and wildlife habitat, wetlands, frequently flooded areas, geologically hazardous areas and aquifer recharge areas, is intended to be done through the use of “best available science” and with no net-loss of functions and values of each. Critics from all corners of the political spectrum contend the council and its staff failed in following either. While the CAO may be approved, the story may be far from over.

Honorable mentions Student dines with first lady More than 1,200 junior chefs ages nine through 12 answered the call to enter their favorite recipes in the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge. Only one winner from each state would be selected to win a trip to the White House and attend the “Kid’s State Dinner” hosted by First Lady Michelle Obama on August 20. Arla Sutton, 9, was selected as the winner for Washington state with her recipe for salad noodle wraps. Arla is a two-time winner of the Farm to Cafeteria/ OISD Student Chef Competition event: the first year for her favorite orange-almond granola, and the second year when she teamed up with her friend, Millie Kau, for the now national-contest-winning salad noodle wraps.

SJC hospital opens Following a mere 18 months of construction, the doors of Peace Island Medical Center opened for business for good on Nov. 26 on San Juan Island. The crowd that had come to tour the new hospital on

its opening day, spilled out of the lobby, huddled in the entrance of two doubledoor entrances, and queued up beneath the breezeway outside each. Construction of the 10-bed critical access hospital, which features primary care and specialty clinics, a cancer center, expanded diagnostic and treatment services, an operating suite for outpatient procedures and a 24-hour emergency room.

Sheriff to hold ‘Active Shooter’ drill at school by Cali Bagby Staff reporter

If you see police cars parked outside of the Orcas Island School during Christmas break don’t be alarmed, there isn’t an emergency or crime occurring, but rather a planned training scenario with the San Juan County Sheriff Department. According to Sheriff Rob Nou, the “Active Shooter” training is to keep deputies up to date for current procedures if an unfortunate event should arise. The training prepares police to actively move toward, disengage or disarm a potential threat like a possible shooter. “It’s dynamic training, actually moving and doing room clearing,” Nou said. “We’re also very concerned about issues of utilizes cover and keeping ourselves safe.” There will be a training session at the Orcas School on Dec. 27 and one at Lopez School on Jan. 2 This exercise comes at a pivotal time since the Dec. 14 massacre of 20 students and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., which

has left people across the county in shock. But Nou said that the timing is just a coincidence. “It was already scheduled and in the works. We have been talking about it for a long time,” he said. Nou estimates that the Sheriff ’s Department has not held an “Active Shooter” training on the island for at least five years. The Sheriff ’s Department chose the school because it is a public venue and shootings often occur in places with high volumes of people. The school building also provides different size rooms and spaces that create complicated scenarios. “The sad reality is that it seems like any public venue is potentially a target … shootings have happened in houses of worship schools, shopping centers, etc.” said Nou. Two weeks ago, students, teachers, a sheriff ’s deputy and Fire Chief Kevin O’Brien all took part in a “lock down” drill to prepare for potentially dangerous situations and other emergencies at the Orcas Island School.

“We all feel a bit more prepared because we have taken the time for some practice and we all hope that it is never even close to real,” said Orcas School Superintendent Barbara Kline. Nou also said that being prepared is important because no one is immune to potential violence. “Information is coming out that it [the Sandy Hook area] was a very safe community. School procedures to keep people safe were in place and the unthinkable happened,” Nou said. “As emergency responders we have to be the consummate Boy Scouts – always prepared.” In the wake of the recent tragedy at Sandy Hook, Nou urges the community to not become too complacent just because the islands are an exceedingly safe place. “There is a world of difference between being aware and being paranoid,” Nou said. “Just like on ferries and at airports, if you see something that is not right don’t sit on that information.”

Island Living

The power of light and darkness by Russel Barsh & Madrona Murphy

s descendants of sun loving, fruit-eating primates whose worst enemies were the large cats, humans have long feared the night. And ever since humans first discovered how to make and manage fire, hundreds of thousands of years ago, we have pushed back the darkness. Today our city lights can be seen from space, and even in the islands, our nighttime skies have a soft red glow punctuated by glare from cars, yellow outdoor bulbs and the flickering of television screens. The benefits of artificial lighting seem obvious to most people, but what does it cost? A great deal of electricity, for one thing, which in most states means burning fossil fuels. Most electricity in Washington is hydroelectric, although that also has impacts on our environment (think dams and salmon). As our population grows, moreover, we must either reduce per capita energy consumption, or increase production – which in the short term means using fossil fuels. There is an aesthetic and some would say spiritual dimension, insofar as lighting obscures the stars and planets, and with them, unmistakable evidence of the immensity of the universe. The proportion of our species that can see the Milky Way from their homes continues to diminish. But darkness is also an important factor in human health. Our bodies’ molecular Circadian (literally: “daily”) clock is set by the light falling on our eyes, in particular the shorter blue wavelengths. We can become disoriented if actual day length is a lot longer or shorter than our internal clock says it should be: jet lag, for example, or the effects of working long hours in artificial light. Even low levels of artificial light at night interrupt sleep as well, and loss of sleep in turn can cause depression and even learning disorders. Artificial light also appears to disrupt the body’s circadian-regulated DNA repair cycle, resulting in higher mutation rates and greater cancer risk. During the day,

humans and other animals metabolize food, producing free radicals that damage molecules within cells. Cells repair the damage at night. Darkness activates the repair function. Plants also experience this repair problem and they cannot shut the blinds at night. Furthermore, plants use day length or night length to decide when to grow, flower, or die back and go into dormancy. The pupae of moths and butterflies use day length to decide when to metamorphose and emerge as adults. Many birds use day length to decide when to migrate. Indeed, many birds, fish, and sea turtles also navigate by the moon or stars. Artificial lighting can disrupt life cycles and migrations throughout the food web. Nocturnal animals are losing the darkness they use to cloak themselves as hunters, or to avoid being detected and hunted. Bats have eyes but use sonar to find insects and navigate around barriers. Bright lights confuse bats, causing crash landings and missed meals. Moths attracted to lights are more likely to be eaten by visual predators such as amphibians and small mammals. Here, too, artificial lighting alters food webs. In the islands, these impacts are easy to mitigate. Nighttime lights can be shielded or focused to minimize glare; filtered or masked to reduce blue wavelengths; attached to a timer or motion sensor rather than left on all night; and simply replaced by lower power bulbs or handheld personal lighting: flashlights and headlamps. Curtains and blinds can make a big difference in light leaks from inside homes. And think twice about Christmas lights after the time when most primates have retired to their beds. Kwiáht scientists are planning to measure light levels around Fisherman Bay and learn more about sources of nighttime glow and glare. For tips on softer outdoor lighting visit the website of the International Dark Sky Organization, www.darksky.org. Barsh and Murphy are scientists with the Lopez-based laboratory Kwiaht.

Writers sought for PlayFest Once again it's that time of year when Actors Theater of Orcas Island puts out a call to seasoned and aspiring playwrights to wake up their creative juices and begin work on the next big 10-minute play. Although the PlayFest is a showcase for locally written 10-minute plays, this three weekend event also high-

lights the talents of Orcas actors, directors, and stage crews. The 2012 PlayFest saw seven plays produced – all written, directed, and acted by both experienced and inexperienced islanders. Guidelines and samples will be sent to each participant to ensure each has the appropriate information for

submission. Each play will be reviewed by experienced local theater people before selection of the seven plays to be produced. Contact Lin McNulty at orcaswoman@gmail.com or 376-1003 to receive the guidelines. Early submission is desirable. Submission deadline is Feb. 15. Rehearsals typically begin in early April.

Obituary David Blair Richardson January 10, 1926 to December 10, 2012 David Blair Richardson was born on January 10, 1926 in Seattle, Wash. Much of his childhood was spent on San Juan Island where his grandfather, Friday Harbor attorney Ivan Blair, had a small farm. After graduating from Lincoln High School in Seattle, Dave worked as a radio disk jockey while studying Russian and other languages at the University of Washington. He served in combat as an infantry soldier during the final months of World War II, remaining in Germany to work for a year as an announcer-engineer at the American Forces Network headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany. In 1947 Dave married Myra Jo Durham of Seattle. He graduated from UW in 1949, and then they spent several years in Washington, D.C. and Germany where Dave did language and communications work for the CIA. Returning to the Northwest in the fifties Dave became a pioneer television broadcaster, first at Channel 11 in Tacoma and then Channel 7, Seattle. At one time he was emcee of his own popular children’s show “Engineer Walt,” until he was stricken with polio. In 1959 Dave joined KVOS-TV, Bellingham, working mostly at Channel 12’s transmitter site on Mt. Constitution. He and Myra Jo have lived on Orcas Island ever since. Dave was also a writer who contribut-

ed to many Northwest area publications. He wrote several books including two on the San Juans, Magic Islands and Pig War Islands. He also wrote Puget Sounds, an illustrated history of Radio and TV in the Northwest and he authored a leading textbook of Esperanto, the international language of which he was a life-long proponent. His final publication was “Shamrocks on the Tanana,” a biography of Richard H. Geoghegan, who lived on Orcas Island in the late 1800s and, also like Dave, was a linguist and Esperanto enthusiast. Dave was a longtime member of Orcas Island Community Church, where he taught adult Sunday School, served as elder, and occasionally preached. He was considered the church’s resident historian, filming the construction of the current church building in the sixties and creating a

Dave died on Dec. 10 due to complications following an aortic aneurysm. He leaves behind his beloved wife of 65 years, Myra Jo; son Blair; daughter Shiela McIntire; son-in-law Steve; grandchildren Shannon and Brennan; and some nephews, nieces and cousins. A memorial service will be at Orcas Island Community Church on Saturday, Dec. 29 at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Orcas Island Community Church, Orcas Island Public Library, or Esperanto League for North America. Arrangements are in the care of Evans Funeral Chapel and Crematory, Inc., Anacortes, WA and the San Juan Islands. To share memories of Dave, sign the online guest register at www.evanschapel.com.
