Benefit for mission trip to L.A. ‘Hope for L.A.’ concert to fund student project by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher
For those who missed Orcas Has Talent last month, many of the performers are getting back on stage for an encore session. A group of local students are traveling to Los Angeles on a mission trip, and an upcoming benefit concert will help raise funds for their projects in an impoverished neighborhood. “It’s a really good group going,” said Orcas High School senior Lana Bronn. “They’ve all got the right attitude. The heart of the trip is going to be great.” The concert will be on Saturday, March 16 at 7:30 p.m. at the Community Church. Featured performers are ALLmost Canadian, Kellen Comrie, Cali Bagby, Yuko Horikawa, Matthew the Magician, KT Laslo, the M&Ms, Madi Jane West and Conrad Wrobel. Admission is by donation.

It’s amazing what you don’t see when at sea. In its vastness people can be lost forever. It’s also amazing what you do see, according to long-time shipmaster Thomas Crawford. He has witnessed everything from remnants of the Fukushima nuclear disaster to slow-moving grey whales to a refrigerator so long discarded that its doors are encrusted with barnacles.

County clears ‘growth’ hurdle by STEVE WEHRLY Journal reporter
Twenty-one years after it all began, San Juan County received a letter of congratulations from Washington State Growth Management Services for “completion of the comprehensive plan and development regulations update process.” That letter, dated Feb. 5, signifies that the county is “in compliance” with Growth Management Act requirements and that the county was to complete a series of updates to its comprehensive plan and development regulations no later than Dec. 1, 2005. “In compliance” means that the county will not have money withheld under a variety of sanctions and funding restrictions imposed on non-compliant counties. The main funding sources not available to the county were loans or grants from the Centennial Clean Water Fund and the Public Works Trust Fund.
Applications for grants or loans from either of those two funds might include matching funds for relocation of Cattle Point Road, planning money for connecting Pear Point Road to Turn Point Road, stormwater improvements throughout the county, various road signage and guardrail improvements on all islands, and several million dollars needed for improvements to Orcas Road, and for replacing the Deer Harbor Bridge on Orcas, both of which are part of the $12.7 million six-year county transportation improvement program. Councilman Rich Peterson thought the compliance letter was “good news,” but cautioned that “there might not be any state money left” after four years of state budget problems. In fact, in 2010, because of severe budget shortfalls, the Legislature transferred the entire Public Works Trust Fund to the state general fund. (The fund does get replenished, sometimes by federal appropriations.)
Additional sanctions that might have been imposed by the state include withholding from a non-compliant county a share of various taxes, such as the motor vehicle excise tax, the transportation improvement account and the sales and use tax. These were never applied to San Juan County, and are rarely used. The most important updates were the ordinances passed by the county council in late 2012. The Critical Areas Ordinances now being reviewed by the Growth Management Hearings Board after five individuals and organizations filed “Petitions for Review” seeking to overturn various parts of the update. Other GMA requirements include updated county laws and regulations dealing with shoreline management programs, the transportation element of the Comprehensive Plan, and development regulations. The transportation element and the shoreline management program are both currently in the review and preparation process, but are fully compliant with state requirements, for now. While it is possible, and perhaps likely,

Marilyn Anderson honored Cat ensnared in illegal trap at Music Advocacy concert by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher
An Orcas woman heard a cat crying and after investigating the sound, she was met with a gruesome sight in the nearby woods.
Election forums Marilyn Anderson, one of the founding members of the Music Advocacy Group, was honored at the 16th Annual Community Concert on March 3. The Boards of the Orcas Island Education Foundation, the Chamber Music Festival, and the Orcas Island Community Foundation, along with sev-
eral private donors, contributed $5,000 to the MAG endowment in celebration of Anderson’s steadfast dedication to provide quality music education in our schools. Anderson is pictured above (right) with OICF Director Hilary Canty. “The outstanding performance by the high school band during the concert was
a testimony to the incredible results of the efforts of the entire MAG board,” say organizers. “Their ongoing and strategic support of both teachers and students has truly transformed musical education in our schools.” Contributions can be sent to MAG, PO Box 1171, Eastsound, WA 98245.
SHERIFF’S LOG
San Juan County Sheriff’s Department reported responding to these calls:
Feb. 4: An assortment of music equipment valued at $35,000 disappeared from an Orcas Island in an apparent burglary and theft. Someone reportedly broke in through a sliding glass door at the back of the Roehls Hill home while the homeowner was away, ransacked the back room where the equipment, unidentified in the incident report, was stored, and made off with the stockpile. Feb. 12: A towing mishap prompted a trio of traffic tickets for an Orcas Island man after the trailer he was towing became detached from his truck, veered off the roadway and slammed into a tree in the 500 block of Orcas Road. The 24-yearold, ticketed for failure to secure a load, expired tags and for driving without insurance, reportedly watched helplessly as the trailer, hauling a boat at the time, drifted by his truck as he slowed and ran off the road on its own. Feb. 17: A late-night altercation at a Deer Har-
bor home prompted the arrest of an Orcas Island man for felony assault. The 35-year-old, who faces charges of seconddegree assault and unlawful imprisonment, allegedly choked his live-in girlfriend and repeatedly threw her to the ground after an argument erupted into a struggle. He claims to have been defending himself after the woman slugged him several times in the face. Feb. 19: Someone discarded three large garbage bags filled with deer carcass remains on a heavily wooded Lopez Island property in an apparent case of trespassing and illegal dumping. It's the most recent transgression involving trash on that property, located near Aleck Bay, which reportedly has been targeted on at least four other occasions. Feb. 18: A familiar face and failure to appear in court on a DUI-related charge prompted a midafternoon arrest of an Orcas Island man in Eastsound. The 44-year-old
was reportedly walking along A Street when he was spied by a deputy, and then taken into custody at about 3:30 p.m. March 2: A Lopez Island man was issued a warning letter after two of his dogs were spied running loose in the School House Road neighborhood twice in two days. A neighbor of the 36-yearold reportedly saw a midsize dog and a standardsize poodle belonging to the man chasing a horse on her property after witnessing the two roaming her yard the day before. She suspects the two wayward canines may be responsible for the mauling and death of a turkey she was raising. • Someone spray-painted graffiti on three sides of the public restroom in the Village Green in Eastsound in an apparent case of vandalism. The building reportedly was tagged by large letters spelling out the phrases "CDark" and "DC"; the incident remains under investigation.
The League of Women Voters of San Juan Islands have invited candidates for San Juan County Council positions to Election Forums on the following dates: • Monday, March 25 at San Juan Middle School in Friday Harbor from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. • Wednesday, March 27 at Orcas Senior Center from 5 to 7 p.m. • Friday, March 29 at Lopez Island’s Grace Episcopal Church from 5 to 7 p.m. The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. LWV does not endorse candidates or parties, but does encourage informed participation in government.
The black and white male cat was stuck in a “leg hold trap,” which is illegal in the state of Washington. They are typically set to catch larger animals like wolves. “It was old and rusty, so I don’t know how long it had been there,” said Orcas Animal Shelter Director Marsha Waunch, who rescued the feline with Sergeant Scott Taylor. The trap was found in brambles off of Indralaya Road. After being caught for several days, Waunch said it is amazing the animal
survived. Its right, front leg bone was exposed and partially amputated; after a visit to the vet, it was taken off entirely. The cat will be at the shelter until his owner is found or he is adopted. Waunch cautions the public to be careful of old traps; they are strong enough to harm humans or seriously injure a pet. “They are really nasty because they don’t kill the animal, they just lay there and suffer for days,” she said.

Editorial
Stop the dirty politics
L
ooks like the politics of divisiveness and disparagement have come to roost in San Juan County. In the age of the Internet and the anonymity it offers, perhaps a descent into virtual mudslinging was inevitable. But we think some of the “gotcha” politics we’ve seen of late is a problem. It is a problem for voters and for young adults who bear witness to such low blows. They may know, like Homer did, the more drama, the less thinking. Is that what we want in our local campaigns and elections? Photo-shopping the uniform of a WWII German prison guard onto a candidate, even if it is Sgt. Schutlz from the television program “Hogan’s Heroes,” and circulating it digitally is incredibly offensive. If you’ve been out of the know about this or other recent political tactics, consider yourself lucky. It’s been discouraging to witness. For us at the Sounder, we’d rather see people challenge a candidate face to face, without the use of doctored photographs and sound bites. Come to the forums and candidate events. Quit the anonymous emails and blog postings. Engage in real, relevant discussions about issues that affect our county. Candidates ought to be legitimately questioned, if not challenged, on any number of actions or legacies. But for the sake of the community and common decency, knock off the other stuff.

MAG concert was incredible On Sunday afternoon the third of March I had an epiphany moment a genuine heart warmer. There in the old gym on Orcas Island was the soul of small town USA. Musicians of every size, shape and age and a matching audience paying homage to talent. But mostly we were all part of what is the best of small town America. We were there for each other. That talent abounds on Orcas was evident. That the nurturing of talent and the sharing of the best we have to offer each other was a dream come true for MAG. With sixteen MAG annual fund-

Because there in front of us was the proof that school music truly matters – a lifetime treasure – a lifetime of sharing, cooperation and making something beautiful together.

Vote for Rick Hughes I want to share with you my very positive experience working with Rick Hughes for the past five years. We serve together on the Orcas Island Farmers Market board. Most of the board is made up of farmers and crafters who vend at the market. Rick is the exception. Over these years he has given his time generously and been a significant asset to the our market, though he has always had the least to gain from it. His insight as a business person has always been greatly appreciated. His loyal support of local agriculture and small island based cottage businesses has been unflagging. He both has an opinion to share and a willingness to work with and learn from others. As a potential representative of all of us I feel great confidence in him. Rick has the unique experience Mailing/Street Address P.O.

of someone who has worked in business outside the islands, owned a business within them, as well as having loyally served on local boards such as the Eastsound Planning and Review Committee, the San Juan County Ag. Guild and the the Orcas Farmers Market. I believe he both understands what makes the Islands special and what it takes for people to try to make a living here. This is an extremely important balance to get right. If my experience working with Rick is any indication of the kind of person he is, I can attest that he will work hard for everyone’s interest on all of the islands, just as he has done for many years for the local farmers, crafters, food vendors and small businesses of Orcas. Christopher Morris Board President, Orcas Island Farmers Market Every Friday night, the children of Orcas Island have a treat in store for them.

Vote for Stephens Jamie Stephens used to tease me every summer and say, “Well, what is my Summer Sandy project this year?” I have worked sideby-side with Jamie on the Children’s Center, Sally’s Garden (including the farmers market site and the community garden), Lopez Community Land Trust housing construction, the Skate Park, and numerous events. Jamie works hard and is not afraid to completely throw himself into his work. He is smart, has a sense of humor (which one needs in dealing with politics), and cares deeply about the fabric of community. I plan to vote for Jamie this election and hope you will consider joining me. Sandy Bishop Lopez Island In about three weeks our ballots will arrive in the mail. We will have a county-wide election where we will elect three county council members, each of whom will represent the entire county (going back to the system we had five years ago). Everybody in the county will be voting for three candidates, one from each of the three residency districts. In residency district three, I’m urging everyone to vote for Jamie Stephens. He has lived on Lopez for 17 years and during that time he has shown a consistent commitment to community. Jamie has served on multiple boards and committees and currently is chair of the County Council. When San Juan County needed a presence in Washington, DC, Jamie paid his own way to fly there to represent our county. A full list of Jamie’s community involvement is available at electjamiestephens.com. As we slowly come out of this recession, San Juan County needs competent, effective government. With Jamie as part of a new threeperson county council we
will have that. He has the experience, leadership and knowledge to help move us forward. I urge all county residents to vote for Jamie Stephens. Bob Gamble Orcas
Questions for Byers Lisa, your unwillingness to properly address my simple questions, your affiliation with the New Economics Institute (www. neweconomics.org) and the manner in which OPAL is structured, have led me to understand that you and I have very differing views about the nature of the human spirit. Your actions imply that you do not trust your fellow human beings, in fact, your need to control their actions into perpetuity signals that you actually fear their actions. Humans are born with innate creativity, which is nurtured in an atmosphere of trust. Generally it is not our close friends who make us grow, but it is our adversaries that disturb us enough to get off of the porch and go to work in the rain. Risks that are taken in an atmosphere of “we trust that you will make the right decision” call forth creativity. You suggest incentives to support our economy, but fail to point out that incentives generally shade one plant to help another one grow. What really grows individuals and thus an economy is inspiration. Inspiration naturally blossoms within a system of trust and expressed social confidence, while incentives are a controlling force which creates imbalance in the economic system (EcoSystem). Those individuals who are given a handout rather than a handup are effectively being taught that they do not have the power to compete in this world. I support the Homes for Islanders template because individuals create “sweat equity” by working on their own houses and end up with an unencumbered title to the property. I trust that they will do the “right” things with their own property. Lisa, the government needs to pave the roads, not our lives. Bumps in life’s road calls forth creativity and creativity builds not only an interesting individual, but a vibrant community worth living in – and visiting! I will be voting for individuals who have grown up on unpaved roads and will

trust me and value me as a creative spirit having a human experience. Royce Meyerott San Juan Island Lisa, you have done the politically correct thing in your letter by avoiding my very direct questions. In particular, you have not told us enough about your sympathy with the beliefs expressed on the website of The New Economics Institute (WWW.neweconomics.org). Specifically, what is your position with respect to NEI’s lack of respect for the concepts of private property? I agree with your statement about “pruning” regulations that no longer serve us. But your idea of pruning and mine seem to be 180 degrees apart. The replacement of the former CAO with updated version which is more expensive, more complicated and more restrictive will obviously serve those who want to be even more intrusive - those who would limit a person’s ability to realize his or her dream on their land and exact more control over businesses that work the land. The new CAO will create more jobs for bureaucrats, consultants and NGOs who now have new tools with which to play a more intrusive role in the everyday aspects of land ownership. These tools are also likely to result in more taxes and fees to pay their way. The “pruning” the county has done has in fact caused some real “growth” in permit fees, county staff and additional permitting steps. All while refusing to identify any real problems that resulted from actual deficiencies within the former CAO. If we continue to go down the current path of creating regulations based on “Solutions looking for Problems,” I predict that at least nine more years of uncertainty and division in our community is in store for San Juan County. Question: If elected, are you willing to change CAO regulations that were made without peer reviewed sci-
entific data? The simple fact is we still live in a pristine environment whose residents form a community that has an extremely high environmental ethos. What we need is a County Council that actually TRUSTS its neighbors to protect the islands that we all love. Mike Carlson San Juan Island
Support for Byers Mike Carlson deserves our thanks for questioning Ms. Byers’ veracity concerning her philosophy of government. By doing so, he afforded Ms. Byers a wonderful opportunity to better inform the voters about her organizational experience and true philosophy of governance. Her response to his, apparently, misplaced accusations has convinced me that she is the best candidate from Orcas for the new county council. Lisa Byers has my vote. Thank you so much, Mr. Carlson.

Republicans serve the community Republicans nationwide and in our county are proud of the philanthropic work we perform. When I hear reports that Republicans don’t care about the poor I cringe. Let me enlighten why Republicans have a unique approach to helping people. We believe in people. We believe in the American Spirit. We believe that helping people in need is as important as bringing people out of need. Food stamps, subsidized housing and welfare should provide help to strengthen our needy to become strong viable citizens for our communities. They can then further help others in need. Keeping people in the subsidy system keeps them controlled and dependent. Also working the system has become quite popular. Many have very valid reasons for being in the system and use it honorably, however, I do not think it is a place to have tenure for most. Republicans believe in

supporting business so our communities can be vibrant with services provided by taxes and private endeavors. That is often interpreted as favoring the rich. I would suggest asking if any business owner running a business in this economy feels privileged after working the 80-hour week needed to stay open. I praise business owners who stay in the fight providing jobs and taxes to our community. Remember them when you hire someone on the side who does not report income. You are hurting the tax paying businesses and your community. Now get out there and serve our community, feed the hungry and house the needy. You can do it better than the government. You will find out we have so much in common. Michelle Loftus SJC Republican Chairwoman
Response to Steinhardt’s letter I am writing to correct several misstatements in the letter from Rick Steinhardt (Sounder edition 3/5/13), and to challenge his fundamental premise. Mr. Steinhardt appears to believe that islanders must fit into one of two fixed camps: (1) esteemed protectors of our environment fighting to bring the islands back to their pre-European conditions (his camp, which I assume do not build houses, drive cars, or keep boats) or (2) the greedy, selfish “development” forces, raping and pillaging the land (the rest of us, apparently – people who took their savings, bought land and paid taxes, thinking that they would build a home for family or retirement). Instead, I see the overwhelming majority of islanders respecting and caring for the land, with perhaps a few eco-hysterics on one end of the spectrum and a few diehard property rights sup-
porters on the other. For the most part, the balance seem to rest in the middle, with those of us trying to live our lives while maintaining the balance between protecting our islands and honoring our neighbors’ investment in the community. Mr. Steinhardt is thoroughly confused about what seems to be the main point of his letter: “intimidating” lawsuits “such as the Common Sense Alliance lawsuits against council members who for voted for charter reform.” There are no lawsuits against council members by the Common Sense Alliance. There is no lawsuit by the Common Sense Alliance about the charter. The lawsuit filed about charter issues was brought by three citizens, not by any group. The council members were not sued, but the Prosecuting Attorney demanded that they be added as necessary parties. The lawsuit that does name two former and one current councilmembers (including candidate Lovel Pratt) complains of violations of the Open Meetings Act and the Growth Management Act in secret meetings conducted about aspects of the CAO. That lawsuit is being pursued by CAPR. The Friends of the San Juans, Common Sense Alliance, and others have filed administrative appeals from the new critical areas ordinance, challenging its compliance with the law. These administrative appeals have nothing to do with the charter. The fact that Mr. Steinhardt did not even confirm which entity filed the lawsuit about which he complains reflects the real problem in our islands: people whose opinions are based upon non-truths or half-truths, labels and sound bites.

Constitution for an aerial photo taken by Martin Taylor from a plane flown by Brent McDonald. The photo was also taken to celebrate the inception of all Washington state parks, which occurred in March of 1913.
RESCUE FROM 1 picked up by a shipmaster who is crazy enough to not just save you, but also your boat. In Derk Wolmuth’s case he was fortunate enough to have both. “People do get saved at sea. It’s not extremely uncommon to pick someone up. What is uniquely different about this situa-
tion is that the boat also made it,” said Crawford, an experienced seaman and a Lopez resident. “Routinely what would happen is that the boat would be damaged in the transfer or in some cases the ship will scuttle [sink] a yacht so no one hits it.”
How it happened Last June, Wolmuth, of Victoria, British Columbia, was competing in the
Singlehanded TransPacific Yacht Race, a 2,200-mile passage from San Francisco to Kauai. He and his boat, the Bela Bartok, a 31-foot cruiser, were making good progress until a boil on his upper leg became infected. Within a few weeks, Wolmuth – who was without antibiotics – became sick enough to call for help using a distress radio beacon or “EPIRB,” which is a tracking transmitter to aid in detection and location. The U.S. Coast Guard picked up the signal and asked the nearby Matson Navigation’s 860-foot RoCon MV Mokihana, captained by Crawford and en route to Oakland, Calif., to see if they could lend a hand. After backtracking about 80 nautical miles, Crawford was able to pick up Wolmuth.
“He was in pretty bad shape. I don’t think he would have lasted another day,” Crawford said. “He was very thin, emaciated and dehydrated.” After getting Wolmuth into the Mokihana’s hospital bunk, Crawford started talking with the sick man. Wolmuth told him that his boat was his home, basically everything he owned in this world. This started the wheels turning in Crawford’s head. He wanted to give Wolmuth some hope. “The guy was not in good shape and the worst thing would be to tell him his ‘house is burning down,’” Crawford said. He soon found out that the Bela Bartok was equipped with a self-steering monitor. Crawford had already instructed Wolmuth to prep the boat before boarding

All proceeds from the concert will be going to repair a tutoring center, where L.A.-based “Redeemer Community Partnership” is working to create safe, healthy communities for kids and their families to thrive. For more info, visit http://redeemercp.org. The students will make a video of their trip and share the Mokihana by adjusting the monitor wind vane and trimming the jib. “Well, maybe we can save your boat,” Crawford told Wolmuth. “… he must have thought I was nuts.” So the next morning, on July 15, they turned the Bela Bartok around and pointed it onward to Maui. Crawford maneuvered his large ship – using gantline hauling, which involves a line rigged to a mast, engine commands and the helm and bow thruster – to get Bela Bartok on course to Hawaii. The Mokihana started back on its course to Oakland and within a few days on antibiotics, Wolmuth’s condition started to improve. On July 18, they arrived in Oakland. Meanwhile, the race committee in Hawaii used a tracking device to follow the cruiser during its solo journey.

Parent Cindy Carter, whose daughters Lisa and Emy are going on the trip, is helping to organize the event. Lisa and Emy also perform in Allmost Canadian. “It’s going to have a lot of energy and incredible talent,” Cindy said. “Some of these people blew us away at Orcas Has Talent.”
Bartok glided over the open ocean, without a captain, like a ghost ship sailing forth from ancient tales. After traveling 450 miles, it arrived in Maui on May 19.
A reunion Several months later, Crawford was at work making the trip from Oakland to Honolulu and back again. While on the island he met up with a fit and healthylooking Wolmuth. They have stayed in touch since, emailing one another about once a week. On March 1, Crawford flew to New York to receive the 2012 Rod Stephens Trophy for Outstanding Seamanship by the Cruising Club of America. The award is given “for an act of seamanship which significantly contributes to the safety of a yacht or one or more individuals at sea.” “It was definitely a surprise,” Crawford said. “I’ve had a life time career of laying low. I guess I’m not doing a great job.” As Crawford reflects on the experience, he said that on the sea the “good samaritan” concept is more like you can’t turn your back, you wouldn’t know how to sleep at night and your crew wouldn’t want to work with you. He credits the crew and the race committee for the rescue of the man and his boat. “In my opinion it was as perfect as it gets,” Crawford said. “Everything went off without a hitch … it was a good hat trick.”

OPALCO Youth Director Connar Smith (middle) participating in team building in 2012. Orcas High School senior Cameron Schuh, a 2012 OPALCO scholarship recipient, was elected by his peers at the 2012 Co-op Youth Rally to return this year as a Youth Director. This one-week program for high school sophomores and juniors, established in 1986, educates students about rural electrification and grassroots organization, helps them develop leadership skills and also provides some good summer camp fun. At a planning meeting for the 2013 Rally this month in Boise, Schuh once again rose to the top when he was elected president of the 2103 Youth Directors. For 2013, OPALCO will again be selecting three students to receive the Nourdine Jensen Cooperative Youth Scholarship ($500) and, with Schuh, attend the Co-op Youth Rally and leadership camp at the College of Idaho. Applications are available online at www. opalco.com; the deadline is March 22. “This is a life-changing experience,” said
Schuh after the 2012 Rally. “I have met so many new and interesting people and am making friendships that will last a lifetime.” The three students from San Juan County (along with OPALCO chaperones) will join with up to 100 peers from rural electric coops in Idaho, Alaska, Oregon, Wyoming, and Utah for a packed schedule of leadership-building activities and fun social events. The rally, scheduled for July 8-13, is hosted by the Idaho Consumer Utilities Association, which also sponsors additional scholarship awards and leadership opportunities to participating students who demonstrate exceptional leadership qualities during the Rally. All sophomores and juniors from OPALCO member households are eligible to apply. Visit www.opalco.com. Scholarship winners will be chosen based on a personal interview and will receive their awards at OPALCO’s 76th annual meeting on the ferry, scheduled for Saturday, May 4.
Orcas School administration has narrowed it down to two. After looking at three options designed by Mahlum Architects, it has settled on two potential construction plans for renovating the middle school, library, cafeteria and more. The improvements will be paid for by a voter-approved $11.9 million bond. “Option B” proposes a new music room in back of the old gym, utilizing the existing stage; renovating the cafeteria and kitchen and building a culinary arts room; the current middle school would become the library and the old library would be converted to the middle school. “Option C” calls for most of the same changes, but the middle school would be built onto the back of the elementary school and the library would be turned into
Granny’s Attic seeks News from the Exchange items Submitted by The Exchange Board of Directors and Executive Director Mark DeTray The Exchange is working diligently with the county on finalizing the contract for operating the Orcas Island Transfer Station. The expected date for the hand-off from the county to The Exchange is April 30. We anticipate posting two positions – scalehouse attendant and transfer station attendant – in the next week or so. The community is clearly missing the opportunity for reuse; we are with you and are doing everything we can to get this capacity back online. Offers of time, treasure and talent continue to pour in. We are cataloging these offers systematically; you can add your name to the
list by posting a comment or sending a private message to us via Facebook or by email: mark.detray@gmail.com or petemoe@gmail.com. If you are interested in making a financial donation to this effort, you can do so via the Orcas Island Community Foundation – oicf.us – by designating the Exchange Phoenix Fund. We are still waiting for a demolition permit from the county. Once we obtain this permit, we’ll get the site cleaned up and will be able to move forward. One possible scenario we are discussing is clearing the lower area (currently occupied by windows) for a temporary structure, while the upper area is reconfigured. We are also considering a “consensus” design process for the permanent structure for the upper area, much
like the process used to design the Stage On The Green. Please keep the ideas, positive energy and support headed our way.

Ferry ticket fundraiser for islanders Orcas man charged with assault Cruising down the information highway doesn’t always get you where you want to go. That’s what Marlene Dickey quickly found out when trying to organize her 30-plus trips off Orcas Island to the Cancer Care Center in Skagit Valley. It is also the reason why Marlene, along with her committee, now
dubbed Team Tatas, has organized two fun-filled evenings at the Oddfellows Hall. Dance the night away on Friday, March 2 from 7 to 10 p.m. and be prepared to be titillated with dance, music, art, all with the goal of raising funds for islanders that need financial help for ferry tickets to get to lifesaving medical appoint-

ments. Dickey is on a mission to make sure that anyone who needs assistance will easily be able to have the right information, and the financial help with ferry tickets. Orcas Family Connections Resource Center has stepped up to partner with Dickey and her committee and have become the umbrella organization to help facilitate this effort. This new fund will help supplement people who might otherwise not qualify and “fall through the cracks.”
Allegations denied; man to stand trial for felony assault by SCOTT RASMUSSEN Journal editor
An Orcas Island man accused of choking a live-in girlfriend and throwing her to the floor several times during a late-night argument at their Deer Harbor home is slated to stand trial in mid-May on charges of felony assault and restraining the woman against her will.
On March 1, Michael Jason Turner, 35, pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of second-degree assault, a Class B felony, and to one count of unlawful imprisonment, a Class C felony. He was released under court orders, and without bail, pending a May 20 trial date. According to court documents, the woman had bruise marks on her neck and spots of blood around her mouth, and was frightened and in tears, when deputies arrived at the

home at about midnight, and she rushed outside to meet them. She reportedly told officers that Turner became enraged as the two argued over her having dinner with a friend and that he had been unable to contact her by cell phone while she was away from the home. The woman, according to charging documents, claims Turner grabbed her by the throat and threw her first against a kitchen stove and then onto the floor during the altercation. At the scene, Turner, who was taken into custody at the home shortly after midnight, also had marks of blood around his mouth. He reportedly told officers that the woman became the aggressor as the argument spun out of control and that she struck him in the face several times. He claims that the two struggled as they rolled around on the floor, but that he did not hit her during the altercation. According to court records, Turner has faced felony assault charged before, and was convicted in San Juan County of second-degree assault in 2002. A Class B felony, seconddegree assault carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both; however, the standard range of sentencing set by the state is six to 12 months in jail. Unlawful imprisonment, a Class C felony, carries maximum penalties of five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.

African cultural exchange Mary Ann Slabaugh still raising funds to volunteer in East Africa Flexibility and changes are in the plans for islander Mary Ann Slabaugh’s East African adventures. Slagaugh had planned to live and work the Kenyan village of Chwele (10,000 population) for a year. Over the holidays at Grace Kutos’ Oregon home, she explained that most volunteers work in the village for three weeks and then return home. She advised Mary Ann that six weeks in Chwele would insure a better experience, and recommended against a year-long visit. After 40 years of considering her need and desire to live in another culture
Impact of art on economy San Juan County Arts Council is presenting free workshops in March to explore the impact and potential of the arts on the local economy. The Arts Commission of Washington State recently awarded a grant to the San Juan County Arts Council as one of eight pilot projects across the state to support community collaborations that use a data collection system called the Creative Vitality Index to better understand local creative economies. The workshop will be held on Orcas Island on March 19 at Outlook Inn from 10 a.m. to noon. Light refreshments will be served.

and country, Slabaugh n plans to leave for Chwele in West Kenya this August. Her plan is to volunteer in the Chwele community development project in the schools and do gardening jobs. She met her Kenyan-born sister Kuto – author, teacher, philanthropist, and project founder – 20 years ago at an international women’s conference in Portland. Slabaugh knew then that she had made the connection that could enable her to fulfill her need of an African cultural experience. Kuto has visited Orcas three times. She sees a bridge
or connection between the village of Chwele and the community of Orcas Island. She has put on several events, contributing to the island’s cultural diversity. “By me going to Chwele, that bridge between our communities will be confirmed,” Slabaugh said. A fundraiser bake sale with an African bent will be held at Island Market on Sunday, March 17. Be on the lookout for other fundraisers in getting Slabaugh to Africa.

“Francesca da Rimini” was forced into a political marriage with a brutal, much older man, and in the process fell madly in love with her brother-in-law. A rare revival of the ravishingly beautiful production of Zandonai’s “Francesca da Rimini” will be streamed to Orcas Center from The Met: Live in HD on Sunday, March 17 at 1 p.m. Riccardo Zandonai’s masterpiece returns to the Met for the first time in more than 25 years. Piero Faggioni’s production, which sets the action in Renaissance Italy, stars Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek and Italian tenor Marcello Giordani as Francesca and Paolo, the star-crossed lovers whose doomed romance was inspired by an episode in Dante’s Inferno. “Francesca da Rimini” was a contemporary of Dante in the late 13th century. As legend has it, she was forced into a political marriage with a brutal, much older man, and in the process fell madly in love with her brother-inlaw. Eventually, the husband caught the two in the midst of passion and murdered them both. With a story like that one, immortalized by Dante, it’s easy to see how Francesca’s fate has been evoked by music ranging from Zandonai’s opera and a Tchaikovsky tone poem to
a 21st-century pop song. Marco Armiliato conducts a cast that also includes the American baritone Mark Delavan as Gianciotto, Francesca’s brutal husband, and American tenor Robert Brubaker as the wicked Malatestino. American soprano Sondra Radvanovsky hosts the
transmission and conducts backstage interviews with the stars. Tickets for “Francesca da Rimini” are $18, $13 students, $2 off for Orcas Center members, and may be purchased at www.orcascenter.org or by calling 3762281 ext. 1 or visiting the Orcas Center Box Office.

In addition, Taylor is the owner/operator of the Orcas Island Golf Course and has been helping the team since 2008. Taylor benefits from a majority of the team returning and is optimistic about the year. “It’s early in the season, but it’s a great group of kids and with a lot of hard work, I am looking forward to the post season,” he said. And it's post season experience that Taylor brings to the team as the second Orcas high school player to ever make it to state in 1999. The Vikings hit the greens on March 12 at home against Lopez. “My goal this year is to help our new players learn the game and help our most experienced players make it to districts and state, and have as much fun as possible in the process,” Taylor said.

At Orcas Island Rowing – like many institutions on Orcas – the kids come in phases. We have a crop of rowers that will graduate this year. Jake Zier and Max Blackadar have been with us for five years, Zack Wolford, Garett Pietsch and Bailey Johnson for four years and Liam Nutt for two years. Crew has been a big part of their lives and they have been a big part of the team. With these strong, experienced rowers on board and a crop of strong younger rowers OIR is hoping for a successful Spring season. Zier is co-captain and one of our most successful rowers of all time. After a phenomenal spring season last year he was hotly pursued by coaches at some of the nations most prestigious rowing colleges. He accepted a seat on the University of Washington crew team, which is one of the nation’s best. “I enjoy being on Cascade Lake and crew keeps me in great shape,” Zier said. “Orcas Island Rowing gave me the opportunity to compete at the national level and gain the recognition to be recruited by several great colleges.” Blackadar is co-captain and has been accepted to the highly competitive Naval Academy at Anapolis. He is the third generation of Blackadars to attend the academy. Navy has a highly regarded crew team and Max wants to row and or cox for them. “Crew helped me learn to manage time
when there wasn't enough to go around,” he said. “It allowed me to get to know kids of other ages as well as adults. Colleges are looking for leadership ability outside of school and being captain helped me develop and demonstrate those skills.” Zack said, “The crew team is a great group of friends and a good peer group. The sport and my teammates helped keep me motivated and focused on working hard towards the future. I have applied to: Cal Poly, OSU, Santa Clara University.” Garett said, “Crew provides camaraderie and fun. It is a miniature community. Physical activities are good and I may row in college. Crew showed colleges that I am more than a student and involved in other activities. I have applied to: UC Berkeley, Cornell and RPI.” Bailey said, “Crew is a group of friends I can rely on and staying active is important. It has made me a better team member. Colleges can see I have rowed for four years and am dedicated to the team. I have been accepted to Worcester Polytechnic Institute and I want to be part of their crew team.” Nutt has been a member of Orcas Fire for three years. He said, “Crew helped me get to know different people and motivated me to keep my grades up. It challenged me and kept me in shape for firefighting. I have been accepted into the Fire Academy and the Fire and Emergency Services Technician program at South Puget Sound Community College.”

ith opera filling his ears, Branch Branciforte bends over his latest watercolor, carefully applying brush strokes to the page. “He can spend the entire day in his room, painting,” said his daughter Lori Gregg. “It’s his focus for the day.” Branciforte, who is 95, devoted his adult life as an engineer at major aviation companies. While sketching and wood carving were always a hobby, it wasn’t until he was 81 that he began painting watercolors. All it took was one art class and he was off and running. Since that time, he has given away more than 200 pieces and creates two vibrant watercolors a week. “Money is not important to me,” Branciforte said. He has lived with his daughter and her husband since 1998. They’ve resided

in various parts of the country and even after they’ve moved on, Branciforte’s artwork remains in the hands of people whose lives he has touched. Last year, a group of students from the Orcas Christian School visited his studio. He gave away 20 paintings that day. Most recently, he contributed 24 pieces to the Valentine’s Day lunch at the senior center. One of his dearest pieces is called “Hugging Hearts.” The image came to him in a dream from his wife, who passed away in 2003 after 69 years of marriage. Branciforte is open to any kind of subject matter – from animals to waterfalls and landscapes. His grandchildren send him images to replicate and he scours magazines for interesting images. “Something will jump out at me and say ‘paint me!’ and so I say ‘I’ll try,” he laughs.

The LSJI Governance Challenge Day “Mock Town Council.” Pictured from L to R: Lucas Limbach, Kai Sanborn, Cathy Kromer, Russell Guerry, Katie Fleming, Armando Nunes, Sam Leigh. Kim Secunda was on this panel but missed by the camera. Cohort IX of Leadership San Juan Islands was immersed in learning specifics of local governance on Feb. 8. This was session two of the five-month program. Initial class check-ins, breakfast and teaching related to coursework took place at the Friday Harbor Firehall. A quick walk to the Town Council Chambers led to a brief introduction to Robert’s Rules of Order with Jim Hooper. Members of the cohort then took their assigned positions and played out roles associated with the town council process and citizen participation. This exercise was led by Steve Hushebeck, with support from Town Clerk Amy Taylor. Mayor Carrie Lacher (Alumni III) wrapped up the morning session by clarifying the mayor’s role in our county’s only incorporated municipality. The working lunch included a presentation by Marilyn O’Conner (Alumni I) on the role of ports in San Juan County. This
was followed by Duncan Wilson, Town Administrator, who shared Friday Harbor’s history and visions for the future. The early afternoon sessions were divided between Judge Don Eaton in the superior courtroom, and Sheriff Rob Nou in the district courtroom. Moving into the county council chambers for the later afternoon, Council Chairman Jamie Stephens briefly explained the structure of San Juan County government and talked about the changing role of the county council. Linda Lyshall presented material on state and local policies including examples from the Growth Management Act and the Critical Areas Ordinance. Kit Rawson followed with a presentation on the history of tribal and state relations in regards to natural resources and his experiences as a marine manager for the Tulalip Tribe. For more information, visit www.lsji.org.

Soil symphony
Every one of us has a relationship with the magical stuff underfoot whether we know it or not – some call it dirt, some call it soil. Mostly, unless we are farmers or gardeners, we don’t think of it much at all. And yet, the condition of soil and how we treat it, globally and locally, influences the quality of the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and even the rate of climate change. This humble substance known as soil has been aptly called “the foundation of civilization.” It is the subject of a new feature-
length film “Symphony of the Soil” by Deborah Koons Garcia, who also directed “The Future of Food.” Drawing from ancient knowledge and current science, the film is an artistic exploration of the miracle of soil and why it is important to life on earth. This 104-minute documentary is ultimately the story of community. It describes in detail the hidden world that supports our existence as part of a natural system. Bring a potluck dish on March 15 to the San Juan Grange Hall and enjoy the show. The potluck starts at 6 p.m. and the film starts at 7 p.m. For more information, call 370-7664.
