Exchange looks toward the future by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher

Home and Garden Special section inside this edition

After the fire that ravaged the Exchange recycling center at the transfer station in early February, there was a major cleanup ahead. “It was quite desolate,” said Mark DeTray, executive director of Orcas Recycling Services, which runs the Exchange. “It went from this vivacious, eclectic structure and operation to blackened earth and burned wood.” The fire was ruled accidental and likely started after someone put a burning object in a trash can. Forty-five Orcas Fire members and 10 units responded to the incident that lasted more than five hours. After receiving a permit in late March, the cleanup took place on April 1 and 2. Community members and businesses stepped forward to help clear out huge piles

Council withdraws five-person proposal by STEVE WEHRLY Journal reporter

It looks like voters in 2013 won’t have the chance to change the number of county council members from three to five. Declaring themselves surprised by negative voter reaction, Councilmen Rich Peterson and Marc Forlenza withdrew their proposal to increase the size of the council and a companion proposal to elect the council members by district rather than countywide. The 2005 vote approving the county charter provided for six part-time council members, replacing the three full-time county commissioners. In 2012, the Charter Review Commission mandated by the original charter proposed three charter amendments, the first of which changed the number of council members from six to three. In November, 2012, about 55 percent of the voters approved all three amendments, setting in motion the April 23 countywide election of three new council members from three “residency districts” roughly corresponding to San Juan, Orcas and Lopez/Shaw.

A council of five members is not a new idea “The feedback I’ve been getting has been for county politics, having been discussed rather vitriolic,” Forlenza said. “I have to widely in 2005 and in 2012 (and in between). emphasize from the bottom of my heart that Among other complaints, it was thought that the intent was to bring democracy in all its a six-person council would be dysfunctional forms back to the people.” because four votes would be needed to pass During earlier debate on the issue and at anything, including the the April 9 hearing, several county budget. council members expressed Before withdrawing his agreement with the idea of “The feedback I’ve proposals, Peterson repeatfive-person council, but been getting has been athought ed an earlier assertion that it should be accomthe council had authority to plished by a citizen initiative rather vitriolic.” propose a council of five. rather than a council-pro— Councilman Marc Forlenza “I thought when Mark posed referendum. and I started this, it was Because County Prosecutor something that would be beneficial to do for Randy Gaylord expressed uncertainty whether the public,” he said. the 2012 charter amendments would permit Before the current round of elections began, either the council or the people to change disPeterson said he would not run for the three- trict boundaries, the council passed a motion person council because he thought coun- by Councilwoman Patty Miller to consider ty voters were better represented and better another possible charter amendment on May 7 informed when each district voted only for clarifying how the charter could be amended. their council representative.

of mangled metal and debris. Ray Brogi gave his time and dump truck for just the cost of fuel. Island Excavating provided an excavator and an operator, Tim Holmes, at a significantly discounted rate. San Juan Sanitation gave containers and trucking for scrap metal at no cost and San Juan County provided disposal at a 65 percent discount, which DeTray says saved a “tremendous” amount of money. The total cost of the effort came to $6,753. “Getting that cleaned up was psychologically and literally a big step forward in getting the operation back up and running,” he said. “We trucked out 26 loads and 43 tons of material. It was far more than I anticipated.” DeTray says ORS’s primary focus right now is getting everything in order for taking over the transfer station by June 1. The nonprofit received a unanimous vote from the county council in November to be the sole operator

Student chefs bring Mexican flair

by MADIE MURRAY Special to the Sounder

From the time our first contestants arrived, set up and presented their amazing dishes, to the anxious and excruciating determination of the winners for both the K-6 and 7-12 groups, the Fourth Annual Student Chef Competition proved again to be an event containing all of the elements: love of cooking, competing, sportsmanship, sharing, appreciating, and an extraordinary pride for our Island youth. There were no losers, but it was a competition, and there were students who scored highest and won in their division. The judges’

scores were based on: recipe (content, theme, variety, cafeteria appropriate), presentation (color, serving size, uniqueness, method of preparation), taste (flavor, garnish, correct preparation, composition), Mise en Place (orderliness while prepping and cooking), and cleanliness before, during and after preparation. First place in the K-6 division was Arla Sutton and Zora Leck who teamed up to make their creative A (for Arla) to Z (for Zora) carnitas. They won cooking classes with Christina for them and their families, and everyone received several gifts and ribbons. Taking top honors this year in the upper grade division

‘Good Steward’ awards announced

Seven islanders and one former federal cabinet officer have received awards for environmental leadership from the Stewardship Network of the San Juans. Since 2008, it has honored special individuals, families, teachers, students and businesses that have demonstrated conservation ethics. This years’ award winners are Louisa Nishitani of San Juan Island for her life-long devotion to botany and her activism; Sarah Waugh of Lopez Island for her environmental education efforts at the Bureau of Land Management; Eric Sable of San Juan Island for his leadership in the youth-based San Juan Conservation Corps; Ken Akopiantz of Lopez for his leadership in the GMO-free campaign; Walter and Ruth MacGinitie of San Juan for the care they have taken of their shoreline property; The LIONs (Less Ivy on Waldron) of Waldron for their large-scale ivy-eradication effort; and Johannes Krieger of San Juan for his volunteer stewardship of the Spring Street rain garden. An honorary Good Steward award was presented in person to Ken Salazar, the former U.S. Secretary of the Interior, at the celebration for the San Juan Islands National Monument on April 1. Full profiles of these islanders are at www.stewardshipsanjuans.org after May 13. The winners will be honored at the Stewardship Networks’ Earth Day Event at Lopez Center on Saturday, April 20 at 3 p.m.

Editorial A time of rebirth and renewal for the Exchange

e applaud the Exchange for its thoughtful approach to reconstructing its operation after a devastating fire in February. The original structure was created piece by piece, and the building and grounds reflected that. It was funky and crowded and eclectic. Now that Orcas Recycling Services is basically starting from scratch, there are permitting and insurance requirements. But their plan is also influenced by a changing vision. Executive Director Mark DeTray says they are raising the standard and want to create a hub of community activity – something that islanders will feel a sense of ownership with and contribute to during the design process. The ORS board is also fixing the parking problem and will have covered areas for all of the Exchange’s items. As DeTray pointed out, one of the incredible things about the operation was its ability to coexist next to the smelly activities of the transfer station. It was a place to reuse and recycle, but it was also a venue for social activity while hunting for treasure. And it served an important need for those on a tight budget. San Juan County is often raked over the coals by the public. But this is an instance to thank county staff – they have supported ORS with the clean-up and future building process. The county even gave a major discount for hauling away burned debris. The Exchange was special and ORS has no intention of letting that magic die away. It will be back and better than ever.

To the Editor: Democratic party has not given to campaigns As chair of the local Democratic Party Organization, I would like to correct the erroneous belief of some members of the voting public that the San Juan County Democratic Party has donated to certain candidates for county council in the April 23 election. This is not true. The local Democratic organization has not given any money to any candidate. Moreover, the local Democratic organization has not spent any money in any local campaign for this council race; either for mailings or advertisements. We do not have any plans to do so before this election. I can categorically state that neither the Washington State Democratic Party nor the National Democratic Party have donated any time or money to our local council races. In fact, I doubt that the National Democratic Party even knows that we are having county council races now. For those who want to know who has contributed to any of the county council races and to the political action committee, Trustislanders, you can go to the Public Disclosure Commission website at www.pdc. wa.gov/MvcQuerySystem.

Questions about tree removal in Moran What happens to the people’s resources embodied in trees being so flagrantly cut down in Moran State Park? The cutting is being undertaken in violation of our stewardship for which the park was founded. This interference with nature is claimed to be justified as a response to “root rot.” The hand-waving call for decimation of healthy trees by chainsaw produces, and at least should be available to the local market, a tremendous amount of firewood for local families and individuals who maintain themselves. Who receives the money involved is an important side-issue; it is the use of the people’s natural resources that is of primary importance.

OPAL needs oversight Because people have wondered, the following is a summary of how the renovations at Lavender Hollow Apartments in Eastsound affected the tenants. OPAL received a “Determination of Non-significance for the Wetland Enhancement Plan.” This included removing 60 trees. The determination was granted on the condition that trees would be removed by hand and an excavator would not be used in the wetland. OPAL violated the agreement and used an excavator. In late November, Julie Thompson of community development and planning came to the site and said that she didn’t see evidence of “tracks.” Recently, when I asked her if anyone affiliated with OPAL said an excavator was used, she replied that the project manager told her “no.” This, in spite of the fact that the tenants saw and heard the excavator in the wetland! Some tenants had to vacate their apartments for a while. One family of five or six was put in a one bedroom, second floor apartment above a gravely ill tenant. The project manager assured me in a letter that the state and the feds were aware of this situation. I have since learned that they were not informed. The job site had unbearably smelly water in uncovered, unfenced, four-foot deep holes six and more feet long for new sewer

lines, debris and thousands of nails on the sidewalks and grass not removed each day. We called the building inspector and from that time on my gardens were systematically destroyed. My partner was physically threatened by a worker and the executive director told us “he brought it on himself by being confrontational.” The more we spoke up the more damage was inflicted on my gardens. Every imaginable construction debris was thrown on top of the plants, killing them. When I complained, I was told that, “OPAL will help with that” (compensation). In the end, the executive director said that if they paid me, others would expect compensation. OPAL has lost its way and also its heart! The Board of Directors might consider closer oversight in OPAL’S endeavors in the future. If citizens don’t speak out about injustices, nothing will change in our society. Spirit Eagle Eastsound

Get behind Broadband There seems to be a lot of discussion about OPALCO opening up their fiber optic cable to broadband and telephone service. The people of the county must get behind this proposal. Otherwise, as the Internet gets more complicated and requires more bandwidth, our access will be limited and become obsolete. Right now in major cities, customers get access as high as 12 megabits per second. Copper telephone lines can’t provide this type of speed. In a few years one will need speeds of 50

LETTERS FROM 4 megabits per second to have reliable service. CenturyTel can’t afford to lay optical fiber on the islands because the market will not support it. OPALCO was required to install this cable and has excess capacity. Most likely, OPALCO will not be the ultimate provider since they are in the power business, and internet/phone service is a very different business. Therefore, OPALCO probably will sublet the Internet and telephone services operation to the local providers handling it now. We will just get better service. The islands’ emergency services will benefit from improved communication that is badly needed. It will encourage more tourism to the islands. Visitors seek better Internet and telephone service, too. We are all dependent on the internet today, like it or not. Higher bandwidth and better cell service will encourage more small businesses to establish their presence on the islands. A few people are concerned that if small six-foot cell towers are attached to power poles around the islands, brain cancer will increase on the islands. These cell towers provide the radiation of a 100-watt light bulb. There is plenty of scientific proof that these towers do not cause cancer. But to calm the fears of some consumers, OPALCO could provide free tin hats to customers who are concerned. John Poletti Orcas

Karp for OPALCO board Michael Karp is running for the OPALCO board, and he has our vote and full support. Michael is uniquely qualified for the OPALCO board. He has been pioneering innovative and successful energy efficiency, renewable energy and other programs for the past 35 years in Washington state and throughout the USA. He is a founding board member of the 30-year-old Northwest Energy Coalition, a consortium of over 100 consumer public interest and utilities in the four northwest states. Currently he is the founder and president and CEO of A World Institute for a Sustainable Humanity, and for the past 20 years has served as a consultant representing governments and nonprofits on public interest power sector issues. The power sector in the

Pacific Northwest is undergoing a significant change. Once abundant hydropower resources are stretched thinner and thinner and OPALCO’s guaranteed access to cheap hydropower is now capped at 2011 levels. Energy efficiency and costeffective renewables regionwide have long served a key role in meeting increasing demands for electricity service in the Northwest, but OPALCO has been timid in investing in local economy through rate-based investments of energy efficiency and local energy generation. As OPALCO members, we need to prioritize and ramp up these efforts to face the new pressing challenge of rising rates (“Tier 2” rates) and limited legacy hydroelectricity by updating OPALCO’s “story” and business model, redesigning tariff structure (instead of just passing on costs by raising rates across the board), and refocusing the board’s efforts towards its core business of efficiently and economically delivering energy services in the face of unprecedented uncertainties. Michael has the vision, solid energy background, the network and respect of professional colleagues, and years of Pacific Northwest power sector management, board and policy experience needed at this critical time. We are very lucky to have people like him in our county. Let’s elect him to represent us on the OPALCO board. Chom & Chris Greacen Lopez Island

Saddened by the election negativity I attended the Eagle Forum’s candidate forum to hear all six county council candidates answer questions on a variety of subjects. I thought all gave good answers and showed impressive knowledge of different aspects of the issues. But my main impression was, these are all good, smart, concerned people who would do their best for the county as a whole. At one point I thought, I wish we could have all six of them, as together they represent almost all the constituencies in San Juan County. I’m concerned and saddened at the over-the-top negative feelings being expressed in this election. Yes, the candidates have different perspectives, but there wasn’t a wild-eyed radical of any stripe at that table. They’ve all got common sense and experience in how our society works, and they

WWW.ISLANDSSOUNDER.cOm

respect how it works. I had the sense they all respected each other too. I fear we’ve let the current ugly national temper of all-or-nothing intolerance infect our island culture. It’s not right, it’s not useful, and it’s not the way to reach good outcomes for the whole community. Civility isn’t just pleasant, it’s necessary for a wholesome society. It’s easy really: just follow the golden rule. Susan McBain Orcas Island

Support for Byers As Lisa’s daughters, we think you should vote for Lisa for county council. In our totally biased but very well-informed opinion, we think Lisa would make a great council member because she is a great mom, and we think that great moms make great council members! Lisa respects us and takes us seriously even when she disagrees with us. Lisa can explain really complicated things so that they make sense to us. Lisa listens to us and makes sure she has all the information and hears everyone’s perspective before making big decisions. Lisa told us once that her ministry, her calling in life, is to work towards a world where everyone has a home- a sustainable, affordable home that you can love and take responsibility for. That is what Lisa has worked towards for 17 years as OPAL’s executive director. Now she is expanding her efforts from the houses that are our homes, to the island community that is our home. Lisa wants to make San Juan County a sustainable, affordable community for all families, now and for generations to come. She loves our island community and wants to preserve it- for her children and yours. She sure has our vote! Emma and Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff Orcas Island As a property owner, parent, pedestrian and long time resident, Lisa Byers has my vote. As a property owner, I have watched Lisa utilize her immaculate skill set to lead OPAL for 17 years. In doing show, she continually balanced housing needs, local families and jobs, and the needs of our beautiful island environment. Additionally, her vast experience of the permitting regulations and requirements from OUR perspective will serve us well on the county council.

Page 5

As a parent, I admire Lisa waiting until her children were grown and standing on their own (as demonstrated in a recent letter to the editor) before choosing to run for county council. Personally, I was hoping she would run for office over a decade ago. Her wise decision allowed her to focus on her family and now allows her to focus on the monumental tasks associated with being on a three-seat council. I first met and worked with Lisa back in 2003 when she served and led the Eastsound Planning and Review Committee on the issue of non-motorized transportation. Lisa’s commitment to this issue was evident and I experienced first hand her incredible leadership and listening skills. The experience has impacted me profoundly in a positive way. Finally, as a long-time resident, I remember what it was like to move here. Acclimating to island living is a process, and it is sometimes challenging to figure out “how things work.” I recently witnessed a conversation between Lisa and a new resident that considered not voting due to lack of knowledge on “the gov-

ernment system here.” Lisa happily answered each and every one of his questions, summarizing our complex system in simple terms (that even taught me a few things). Her welcome and friendly tone, combined with her vast understanding of our county structure, are qualities befitting a worthy council candidate. Lisa Byers is an incredibly talented, experienced, strong and effective candidate and is worthy of your vote too. Cathy Faulkner Olga

Vote for Hughes We were very happy to see the Sounder and the Journal endorse Rick Hughes for county council. He has remained true to his promise to be an independent representative in our local government. Despite other candidates accepting partisan support from the majority party in this state, which in all honesty has to come with some influence from that party, Hughes refused to play the partisan card when offered and even the PAC card. In all three elections he has maintained his independent status. Like many of you, we

moved here for the opportunity to raise our family in an environment where it didn’t matter what brand of jeans you wore (a 1980’s problem), where you came from originally or what your beliefs were. We were attracted here by the beauty but stayed because of the lovely community of hard working, generous and independent people like Rick Hughes. You don’t move here if you require many government services. You prefer to do things yourself and with the cooperation of your neighbors because it makes you feel great and strengthens you and the bonds within your community. Rick has shown by example what he believes are values that help strengthen a community. He supports an environment where job creation can thrive so our children can afford to raise their families here where they grew up. The remedies and problems in different communities are as different as the communities themselves. As a county of islands we need independent thinkers without undue outside influences to solve the problems unique

LETTERS FROM 5 to this county. Rick has volunteered in many different areas of our community so has an understanding of its strengths and weaknesses. His positive energy, abilities and emphasis on teamwork have improved the Farmer’s Market, many school organizations, the Food Bank, the EPRC and other community endeavors. He hit the ground running in his county position. Join us in helping him maintain the momentum. Please help unite our community with a vote for Rick Hughes. April and Clyde Duke Eastsound I have been on many volunteer boards and commission and feel confident when I say: Rick Hughes’ involvement on the East sound Planning Review Committee is impressive.

Before Rick was appointed to EPRC by the county council he had many questions regarding how “island politics” worked and why he was hearing so many negative comments about the planning department, building department, code changes (CAO), economic needs in the islands and Eastsound. It did not take long before Rick found an avenue to help and applied to be considered for EPRC. As an EPRC member Rick asked tough questions, came up with solutions, came back with his assigned tasks completed plus sharing ideas, discussions that went beyond his assignment. This showed me that Rick saw the big pictures and was not afraid to think outside what was the status quo. Rick has been very active seeking out other boards and business owners looking for ways to combine efforts in Eastsound

and throughout the county. He impressed me with his far-reaching networking and usually came back with positive results. I believe Rick will take his work ethic and commitment to the council position and will be very affective in moving this community into the future with his campaign cornerstones: community, sustainability, infrastructure, financial responsibility and economic development. Rick has participated in the “county conversations” to identify what our community needs and what direction we want to go to protect our future in this county. Rick is not supported by a special interest group and does not bring a preconceived agenda to the table. If you have not already had a conversation with Rick, give him a call and find out for yourself how committed Rick is in working for

all of us!

Teri Williams Orcas Island

Here’s why I am voting for Rick Hughes for county council: Management Experience – Rick has many years of experience in the real world operation and management of both big business and small business. He will bring proven, day-to-day expertise on budgets, policies, legislation, personnel matters, and the many other issues brought to the county council. Love for the islands – His family has roots on Orcas Island since the 1940s. This life long experience has given Rick a deeply rooted sense of what it means to be an independent, neighbor loving, and freedom loving islander. He has eagerly contributed his time and talent to the Orcas Island Community

in running businesses. Listening to the community is one thing, but then acting in accordance with the desires of the people in a reasoned business-like manner is quite another. When the race for county council is clearly labeled to be a non-partisan endeavor, we are concerned about the identity of the financial backers of Lisa’s campaign. She will no doubt feel committed to pursue their agendas. Rick Hughes by comparison is an independent business man with the experience of managing toward a bottom line and making a payroll. His opponent does not demonstrate an equal background. Bob Jarman won over Lovel Pratt last November. She was voted out of the council. Lovel was headover-heels into backing and pushing for the much cussed and discussed new CAO regulations. It does not show considered leadership when it was blatantly clear that the San Juan County constituency not only had loads of questions, but most were utterly opposed to many of the nonsensical and very costly new regulations on property owners. Lovel has never run a business. The concept of “customer sat-

Hazardous waste round-up Student on WSU honor roll

It is Hazardous Waste Round-up time in San Juan County. What? The hazardous waste round-up collection event is a once-yearly opportunity to legally and responsibly dispose of poisonous, flammable, corrosive or other hazardous chemicals. Why? Taking responsibility for the waste you produce is the right thing to do, says the county. You don’t want this stuff sitting around your property. Proper disposal protects your health and the health of the workers that handle your waste. Proper disposal also keeps chemicals out of our drinking water and out of the environment. Where? At your island’s solid waste facility.

that we do not want agenda driven party politics in our council. We don’t care what they think; we care how they think. The more I think about it, the more I realize that the election in which Jarman and Forlenza beat Pratt and Rosenfield was not about political parties. Instead, it was about a runaway council stomping roughshod over all who differed with the Lovel/Patty/Howie machine and secret meetings about which nobody can remember anything. The vote about that CAO machine and the connected charter vote were about the people of this island protesting the antics and tactics of the secret committee meetings. The vote on the charter was a direct result of its abuse by the occupiers of those three positions. If they

I do not doubt the intelligence, hard work or diligence of Lovel et al. I do object that expressions of pride are offered over what they accomplished during their tenure with the CAO.

The county council decided April 9 to postpone the startup date of the critical areas ordinances until March 1 of next year. The critical areas ordinance, approved by the council in December, was initially slated to go into effect on March 1 of this year. In February, the council extended that effective date until May 1. At its April 9 meeting, the council voted 5-to-1, with Councilman Jamie Stephens opposed, to push back that start-up date until the spring of 2014. Stephanie Buffum, executive director of Friends of the San Juans, spoke in opposition to extending the effective date. “I’m shocked and amazed that we are having this conversation after we watched this process languish since 2005,” she said. Council candidate Lisa Byers of Orcas Island suggested the planning staff should use any extra implementation time to “identify a few case studies evaluating the properties” under both the current law and the new law. Stephens, chairman of the council, said he was voting against the delay because “I thought December would be the better date rather than go into another Spring construction season.” The reasons for the delay as stated in the approved ordinance: some of the tools to assist property owners are not yet complete; staff time for implementation is limited because staff must address any CAO changes mandated by the Growth Management Hearings Board in its September, 2013, decision of the CAO appeals; and, the breadth and magnitude of those CAO appeals creates uncertainty regarding the future structure of the regulations. At the council hearing, Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord explained that because the ordinances had been duly passed, they were valid laws for Growth Management Act purposes and that extending the effective date would not affect the

validity of the CAOs. Leonard Bauer, managing director of Growth Management Services for Washington state, confirmed that changing the effective date of the CAOs was not that unusual and, unless the CAO was ruled invalid by the Growth Management Hearings Board, eligibility for grants and loans would not be affected. The validity of the CAOs and compliance with the Growth Management Act could be addressed by the hearings board, which is presently considering a package of appeals filed against the CAOs by the Common Sense Alliance, Friends of the San Juans and others. The board is expected to issue a decision by September, and whether it will require the county to make corrections to the CAOs without invalidating them remains to be seen. If the hearings board decides that provisions of the CAOs violate GMA standards and regulations, the CAOs could be found invalid. Under present law, such a finding could expose the county to various penalties, two of which could involve withholding state funding for public works projects under the Public Works Assistance Account or for water pollution control facilities under Department of Ecology loans and grants. Withholding of such funds, however, has been rarely imposed and is considered unlikely. Meanwhile, a bill being considered by the state Legislature deals with this subject. Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1401, titled “An act relating to the timing of penalties under the growth management act,” removes most of the present penalty provisions for planning jurisdictions, such as San Juan County, who have completed required ordinances or regulations, whether or not the ordinances are being appealed or reviewed. The bill does retain penalties, however, if the hearings board or a court makes a finding that the county's CAOs are legally invalid, which is the case today under current law.

Landscape around transformers With springtime here, OPALCO sends a reminder regarding landscaping around OPALCO facilities.

Transformers and meters must remain visible and accessible to OPALCO employees at all times. This

helps create easier access for line crews to make repairs, and maintain equipment. It also helps with shortening any outage times, continuing reliable service and providing a safe environment. All members are responsible for providing and maintaining the required clearances to OPALCO equipment, facilities, features and meterbases. Some guidelines are: 10 feet from all obstructions on the front (opening) side of the transformer and three feet to all other obstructions such as shrubs. For planting instructions call OPALCO Line Clearance at 376-3500. At www.opalco.com, go to the “Facility Installation Specifications Booklet” for landscaping diagrams.

OPALCO’s next chapter by BoB Myhr

OPALCO board member

These are exciting and challenging times for OPALCO. We have celebrated our 75th Anniversary and our success in building a member-owned cooperative to meet our electrical needs in San Juan County. OPALCO consistently rates at the top of the co-op world for our safety record, system reliability, financial strength, and innovative approach to solving problems. The time has come to focus our attention on the next 75 years: the future of our co-op and the legacy we will leave to our children. As our region’s hydroelectric resources begin to

reach capacity, energy is less abundant and more expensive than in the past. This presents a new challenge for continued success and new opportunities to engage our membership in energy savings and conservation that will help keep our rates down. We will continue to use and further develop utility smart grid technologies that help us to be more efficient – but the greatest factor going forward will be increased member understanding of energy usage and changes to our household and business practices in how we manage our energy loads. With each new challenge we face, we will approach

solutions together as a co-op. Our purpose is, as it has been since the beginning, to empower ourselves to improve the quality of our lives. To create this next chapter of OPALCO’s story, we need your help. What is your vision for the future of our co-op? What are your major concerns? What would you like our co-op to look like 10 years from now? Part of that picture is our modern communications challenge: how to support our communities with a better, faster, more robust flow of information and data. How can OPALCO best meet this challenge? We have devoted serious study to the options and drafted the Broadband Initiative plan for member consideration. In this rapidly changing world, we must stay on top of a complex equation of technical, organizational and environ-

Fundraiser for Haiti and the Exchange by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter

Traveling between two countries and two cultures is like time travel. You land in one place and long for the people you just left. For Rosedanie Cadet, the shuffle between Orcas and Haiti for more than three years has left her exhausted and energized. It has also left her with the realization that too much travel can be bad. “My goal is to be there [in Haiti] for longer periods of times,” Cadet said. “The momentum that gets built when I am there gets lost when I am gone.” While on Orcas, Cadet is holding a fundraiser for her nonprofit Helping Hands Noramise and the Exchange, the recycling center that burned to the ground in February. Despite what may seem like two different organizations, Cadet said Noramise and the Exchange have a lot in common, especially in her heart. “It’s what I can do to help my community here and helping Noramise is for my community there,” she said. “I love that ‘exchange.’” The event is on Thursday, April 25, 6 p.m. to closing time at the Island Hoppin’ Brewery. There will be a silent auction, snacks and music. Cadet will present a slideshow and update about her last trip. On Tuesday, April 30 at Benson Hall at the

Emmanuel Episcopal Church, 6 to 8 p.m., there will be a slideshow and Q&A session. Cadet founded Helping Hands Noramise, in the northern town of Limbe, Haiti, after the 2010 earthquake, which according to the International Organization for Migration has left 634,000 people living in displacement camps and according to the Haiti government left a death toll of 316,000 across the country. Noramise provides social and developmental programs for income, pride and social activism. Cadet said it’s not a charity program – everyone must volunteer to receive the benefits like education, fresh food from their garden or chlorine for water purification.

Update on Helping Hands Noramise Cadet has traveled back and forth between Haiti and Orcas since 2010. On her last trip from October to February, Cadet said there has been progress and serious obstacles. For one, a bar opened next to the Noramise headquarters disrupting volunteers’ sleep. Cadet also said she didn’t like the idea of a bar opening up in a residential neighborhood. She believed that the owners were selling alcohol to underage kids.

Cadet in the bike race called MTB Ayiti by Travelcology. When she went to local officials to help with the noise problem, a police squad turned up one night asking for the music volume to be lowered. The next day, Cadet recalls the bar owners telling her “no one could shut them down.” “They told me if the bar were to close that I wouldn’t be safe and no one in my family would be safe,” Cadet said. So she closed the center. When she returns to Haiti in May she will be looking for land to buy and a new location for their center. “I live in Deer Harbor in a wood-heated cabin – that’s the environment that I want to live in,” Cadet said. “I want to be able to so sit outside in the garden and not next to a blaring bar.”

But there is progress. Cadet and Noramise volunteers have started work on a nursery and reforestation in the Limbe area. She will continue building a rugby team. There is a group of players waiting or her in Cap-Haitien, 25 kilometers from Lambe. She is meeting with officers from the Olympia rugby club to discuss a team trip and a coaches’ clinic in Haiti. “It’s a sport that is unlike any other,” Cadet said. “It really fosters team dynamics and being part of something.” In February, Cadet competed in the MTB Ayiti by Travelcology. The two-day bike race started in Port-auPrince and riders climbed 4,000 feet up to Mountain Seguin and ended in Marigot, a seaside town near Jacmel, a city known for mosaics. “I needed to do something just for me that didn’t involved me being the director of Noramise,” she said. “I was just Rosedanie Cadet and a bike rider and a Haiti resident … it was beautiful, I saw places I had never seen before.” For more info, visit noramise.org.

EXCHANGE FROM 1 of the Orcas Island transfer, recycling and reuse facility. “We recognize the Exchange is the heart of the transfer station, but garbage and recycling are the blood that flows through the system,” DeTray said. But ORS has every intention of getting the beloved Exchange back to its former glory. DeTray says they are “raising the standard a bit” and have plans for a new, inviting building and more parking. The previous structure went up bit by bit in the early 1980s. Now with a clean slate, ORS is approaching the development with care. “We hope it’s a space that is inviting to the community,” DeTray said. “The previous building had a lot of heart and magic to it, but it wasn’t the most welcoming space.” The first step is building a pole barn structure in the lower part of the property that will be temporarily used for the Exchange. Long-term, it will be storage for larger goods like furniture and carpeting. In the upper section, a new building will be designed by a community process, which will start towards the end of April. Watch for more information in the Sounder. “That structure will take longer to get permitted and designed,” DeTray said. “Our aspiration is that it reflects the artistic and innovative side of the community …

We, as an organization, have changed. The board wants to formalize things and have structures that are ADAcompliant and insurable. That’s been a general trajectory of the organization. We are in lockstep with the county. So now we are just going through the process.” Since the Exchange’s demise, the community has stepped forward to help. During its production in March, the Actors Theater passed the hat and raised $1,435 from their audiences to support reconstruction of the facility. The Orcas Island Community Foundation has opened a fund to support the rebuilding of the Exchange on Orcas. It has been named the Exchange Phoenix Fund, in the belief that a new form will rise from the ashes with increased capacity to better serve the community. “The community response has been very heartening,” DeTray. “People want to volunteer their time and materials.”

How to help To contribute to the Exchange Phoenix Fund, donate at www.oicf.us, or to OICF, PO Box 1496, Eastsound, WA, 98245. Make checks payable to OICF with the Exchange listed in the memo field. For more information about the Exchange and Orcas Recycling Services, contact Mark DeTray at mark.detray@gmail.com or 360-472-0177.

Transient Orca sightings

pril is turning into the month when we have transient orca sightings (also known as Bigg’s killer whales) with more frequency than other months of the year. They are a distinct population of orca whales from the resident orca J,K and L pod. Some studies have shown that residents and transients haven’t bred with each-other in well over 500,000 years. Instead of giving each transient pod a letter designation they are all designated as T pod. Their pod size (also known as groups and not pods) contain one to 7 individuals and average from three to five. Transient groups have been known to be sighted in large numbers up to 30 whales, kind of like a whale convention. They can travel long distances and range anywhere from California to Alaska. This is a photo of T-40, also known as Captain Hook. Note the way his dorsal fin bends sharply to the left. He has been seen around here a few times in the last two weeks. He can be found traveling alone or with other transients. Last year he and two other transients were off the mouth of Westsound and right off the Shaw ferry dock. Transient orca do not follow a certain route, which the residents do, such as along the west side of San Juan Island and up to the Frasier River. Transients last year were seen in Eastsound, in Deer Harbor and up near the north shore of Orcas Island. Yesterday we had transients just outside Friday Harbor. Later in the evening the same group were foraging in the Wasp Islands off Deer Harbor. There are subtle physical characteristics with residents and transients, one being the dorsal fin which in transients is pointier at the tip. One of the major differences with transients and residents is their diet. While residents in this area feed mainly on fish, transients feed on marine mammals. I once watched two transients, a mother and son, hunt down a 3000 lb. elephant seal. During the dark capture period of the 70’s here when whales were taken for marine parks, transients were captured as well as residents. They were found to be just as intelligent and “loveable” as the resident orca that were also captured. Tom and Nate Averna operate Deer Harbor Charters. They will be sharing their latest observations of what they see during their tours as well as provide news regarding the marine ecosystem here and in other parts of the world.

Rowing club annual dinner Vikings’ sports update Orcas Island Junior Rowing Club is hosting its annual dinner at Orcas Center on Saturday, May 4. It's an evening of food, good company and entertainment. Happy hour starts at 5:30 p.m. with live music, appetizers, a no-host-bar and socializing. Dinner is served at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $35. Dinner is a choice of salmon, grilled chicken or vegetarian lasagne. Given enough time, any special dietary restrictions can be accommodated. The evening is an opportunity for

Orcas Rowing to connect with the broader community. Most particularly this year, in addition to their usual need for about $5,000 in annual income, the junior program needs a new coxless quad rowing shell. The purchase has been financed by a generous interest free loan from Becky and Sam Blackadar but it must be paid off before the end of the current spring season. The boat will be named after the late Al Ulbrickson Jr. at a naming ceremony on June 1 at the OIR boathouse. All are invited to attend.

The current junior crew is particularly competitive and experienced and has a great chance to medal at the Northwest Regional and even national regattas this year in more than one category. Contact Martin Taylor martin@orcasdigerati.com or 376-6935 for reservations and information or buy tickets online at www. orcasislandrowing.org. Donations are also gratefully accepted at Orcas Island Rowing, c/o Martin Taylor, 455 Eastsound Shores Road, Eastsound, WA, 98245.

Trail run on Turtleback Mtn. The Funhouse Commons Youth and Community Center will present a 15k (ninemile) trail and road run on and around the Turtleback Mountain Preserve on April 21 at 10 a.m. The first organized run on Turtleback, the fundraising event will be called the "Leave No Trace Race" underscoring the importance of protecting the Preserve, and keeping the impact on the trails to a minimum. The race will also be strictly limited to just 60 runners. A truly challenging and beautiful nine mile run, the course features every type

of running terrain. It begins at the south trailhead, with a difficult hill climb that is rewarded with incredible views. From there the course switches to a beautiful forested single track. The trail connects back to the dirt fire-service road and proceeds over the mountain, to the North trailhead, near the old school house on Crow Valley Road. The rest of the race is on the roads, from Crow Valley to Deer Harbor road along the water's edge, and back to the start. To sign up, go to http://funhousecommons.org/.

Viking Miles Harlow (left) catching a ball in the Concrete game on April 9. by MARTY ZIER Sports contributor

The Vikings baseball team (1-4) lost a close game 4-2 against the Concrete Lions (7-4) on April 9. After giving up three runs in the first inning, Orcas fought back, scoring two runs in the second inning helped with singles by Anthony Kaskurs and Daniel Briggs along with RBIs by Briggs and Pasha Bullock. Coach Jim Passer said pitcher Rylan Date “threw a great game.” Passer was pleased with the Vikings effort against one of the better teams. “We played better, we are much improved and played them tough,” he said. On April 19, the Vikings (1-5) lost 9-5 to a strong LaConner Braves team (8-5) in an energy filled game in Skagit Valley. Devon Stanzione scored three runs on a dropped fly ball, but despite the LaConner defensive error Orcas played tough keeping the game tied 4-4 by the fourth inning with Miles Harlow pitching against an experienced Brave team. However, LaConner opened up the fifth inning scoring

in deteriorating conditions with the game called shortly thereafter due to rain. “We competed and played hard,” Passer said. “I like what I am seeing. The guys are working hard and we are about to turn the corner.” The Vikings next play Cedar Park Christian.

Softball Fresh off their first season loss, the Orcas softball team (6-2) traveled to Concrete (2-6) in a dominate 19-0 win against the Lions in a game shortened due to the 10 run lead rule on April 9. Pitcher Aliviah Garcia had a no-hitter going into the fifth inning, and according to Coach Jason Nichols, “We have worked on her change up and its worked quite well.” On April 12, the pumped up Vikings (7-2) invaded LaConner (7-2) in a smashing 24-7 win against a strong Brave team in another shortened game. Nichols said the team “hit a lot in practice” since the Vikings knew to win they would have to hit the ball hard against the Braves, who had beat Friday Harbor earlier in the season. Practice paid off as the Vikings bust-

ed out a whopping 27 hits in five innings. “Our bats were on fire, everyone was crushing the ball,” said Head Coach Scott Harris. After six runs in the top of the first inning, it was clear the Vikings came to play with each starter getting at least two hits. Lana Bronn went 4/4, Aliviah Garcia 3/3, Shelbi Rogers 4/4, Bella Nigretto 4/5 including a booming homer, Alicia Susol 2/4 and Alenna Garcia two hits. Aliviah pitched a strong game according to Nichols, only giving up runs late in the game as the heavy rain became a factor. Harris said the game “was an important league win.” Orcas next plays Darrington.

Golf The Vikings golf team traveled to Similk Golf Course to play LaConner on April 9 with Graye Parnell shooting his best tournament round of 42. The team then hosted Grace Academy at the Orcas Island Golf Course on a rainy April 12. Orcas was led by William Coe, who shot a 43, Roo Smith 44, Mara Nutt 67 and Zach Kostechko a 73.

Help with facing death and tough decisions Emmanuel Episcopal hosts workshop on ‘end-of-life’ planning by CALI BAGBY

Staff reporter

eath can be frightening, overwhelming and confusing. Those left behind mourn the loss of a loved one while simultaneously struggling to plan a funeral or deal with legal matters left unresolved. “For me as a clergy person, the hardest thing is to get folks to deal with details like a funeral service in the midst of grief,” said Bishop Craig Anderson, rector of Emmanuel Parish. “To do that ahead of time is so much easier.” To open a dialogue about these tough topics, the Episcopal Diocese of Olympia and Emmanuel Episcopal Parish are hosting a workshop called “From Here to Eternity,” on Sunday, April 21, noon to 4 p.m.

in the Emmanuel Episcopal Parish Hall. Over the years, Anderson has discovered that most people don’t think about issues like funerals and legal matters until a loved one dies. The workshops give people time to think about and face those “end of life” decisions. “You live a better life if you have been able to think about death,” he said. Anderson often asks people to write their own memorials to think about how they want to be remembered. He said that the workshop also gives people a safe environment to talk about death with other people, making the experience less ominous and more practical. The speakers will talk about various topics. Father Lance Ousley, canon for Stewardship and Development from the Diocese of Olympia, will provide an overview for the afternoon and planned giving and bequests. Anderson will cover aspects of planning a funeral and memorial service. Chris Kenady, an Eastsound attorney and chancellor of Emmanuel Parish, will discuss living wills, estate

planning and other legal matters. Molly Roberts will provide information on Hospice and Home Care. “Some people, depending on their way of approaching death, get ready a long time beforehand and some people ignore it for as long as possible,” Roberts said. She added that one reason death is so scary is because people lose control – one way to face that fear is to look at options like hospice and homecare before you start feeling weak or powerless. Rosie Kuhn will offer thoughts on maintaining dignity and responsible choice-making in relation to the aging process. Representatives from two funeral homes will discuss funeral arrangements, cremation, “green burials” and other related topics. Following the presentations, there will be small group discussion in separate breakout groups led by each of the presenters. Anderson said that in past workshops he recalls one attendee saying, “It helped me to come to grips with my own mortality and makes me think about what I want to do with the rest of my life.”

‘Uniquely gifted’

Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff will speak at the annual Orcas Island Community Church women’s luncheon

by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter

ne day a year a group of Orcas Islanders gather to eat lunch and celebrate women in the commu-

nity. “They are the heart of a community, whether it be a mother, daughter, a sister,” said organizer Susan Clark. “We acknowledge the gift God gives each and every one of us to share and embrace with community all that we have in common and rejoice in that.” This year’s Orcas Island Community Church women’s luncheon is 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 4 at the Camp Moran – Environmental Learning Center (Discover Pass required if not parking on the grounds of the ELC). The lunch is $15 and the theme is “uniquely gifted” to honor the women who serve the community with their many artistic and life skills. There will be a display of handcrafted works by Orcas Island women. Clark said last year’s lunch featured a fashion show and participants were every age from three to 80. This year’s

speaker is in her early 20s, which may draw a diverse age group. “We encourage a whole different spectrum of the age demographic,” said Clark. Muriel “Mo” Gallo-Chasanoff, shown right, will speak at the event. “I was so honored – and terrified,” said Gallo-Chasanoff about being asked to speak at the event. “The women at Orcas Island Community Church, so loving and so wise, changed my life seven years ago when they introduced me to the faith.” Her mother, Laurie Gallo, is a longtime island resident of Orcas and her father, Mathew Chasanoff is an Orcas Elementary School teachers. After graduating from Grinnell College in Iowa, Gallo-Chasanoff decided to go into Christian ministry. Two days after speaking at the luncheon she will graduate with a masters in divinity and enter into full-time ministry at Vancouver School of Theology and Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia. Her passions are children and youth, pastoral care and helping people of all ages and stages of faith to

develop an intimate relationship with God. “We’re going to be talking about our gifts, and how amazing things happen when we use our gifts in service to God,’’ said Gallo-Chasanoff. “And I know firsthand how powerful those gifts can be because those women at OICC changed my life.” Clark said that the event has grown since it started about six years ago, but she hopes that it continues to bring

attendees not just from Orcas but from other islands as well as people from offisland. “Come on, come all,” she said. Reservations are required and registration forms are available at the Orcas Island Community Church. Reservations are accepted no later than April 26. If you would like to lend OICC something for the luncheon display, call Church Secretary Monique Turner at the church office at 376-6422.

During the first week of April, 19 high school students from Orcas Christian School spent three days working in the Yakima Nation near Wapato, Wash., assisting families catch up on household chores. They helped with splitting and stacking firewood, limbing trees, tearing down dilapidated decks and steps, extreme yard clean-up and recycle, stump removal, weed-wacking and lawn mowing. The students just happened to be participating in these community

Music students gain regional reputation for ‘excellence’ by KRISTEN WILSON Special to the Sounder

If you have kept up with school music news for the past several months, then you know that the Orcas students are at the top oftheir game, and representing our school well. They just added to that reputation with outstanding performances in Bellingham at the end of March. For the third year in a row the High School Strings returned to the “Large Groups Orchestra Contest” at Western Washington University on March 27, where for the past two years they have taken home “superior” ratings. This year they managed to outdo even that. Under the direction of Pamela Wright, the group scored a I-plus (or “superior-plus” rating), coming within half a point of the top score among 15 groups

at the contest. Take into consideration that Orcas Island was the only Class B school competing among 14 other AA or AAA schools, and that Orcas Island does not require an audition to perform in the group, versus other larger schools who do audition, and it’s even more impressive. Not to mention, the Orcas group was probably the only group of musicians who had to get up at 4:30 a.m. to catch a school bus and head for the ferry. The Large Groups Orchestra Contest is a little different from other contests in that the groups must come prepared to perform several pieces. They are then judged on their entire performance. Orcas High School performed Elegy Op. 58, by Edward Elgar, Pavane Op. 50 by Gabriel Faure and the fourth movement of

Eine kleine Nachtmusik by W.A. Mozart. Some of the comments from the judges included, “Beautiful!” “Your phrasing, dynamics and discipline are fabulous! Congratulations on such a fine group.” The members of Orcas High School Strings who competed in Bellingham were: Emilia Carter, Brigid Ehrmantraut, Michael Harlow, Anthony Kaskurs, Wylie Kau, Juliette Mann, Enzo Thixton, Zach Waage and Paris Wilson. The following day, the fifth to eighth grade string players and Wright headed to Whatcom Middle school in Bellingham for the San Juan Music Educators Association Junior Orchestra Festival. The young Orcas musicians were specifically invited to attend this festival after contest officials saw their performances at the junior

The Orcas fifth and sixth grade group performed “Bolero” by Deborah Baker Monday and “Kutsu ga Naru,” a traditional Japanese song arranged by Robert Frost. “I am very impressed,” said the judge. “You grabbed me from the very beginning because you played so well together. Beautiful ensemble.” After noting that several of the musicians in the group are first-year string players, the judge commented, “You’re all very well-trained, and you’re on your way to becoming very

good musicians.” The group scored a I or “superior” rating. Members who performed were: Kupono Anuenue, Olivia Brunner-Gaydos, Lilia Greening, Alyssa Johns, Sydney Johnson, Amelia Kau, Ronan Kau, Nathan Smith and Paris Wilson. The Orcas Middle School Strings performed “Ding, Dong the Witch is Dead” by Harold Arlen and “Brandenburg No. 5,” by J.S. Bach. The judge said they did a “great job” and awarded them a II-plus (or “excellent-plus ” rating.) Members of their group were Michael Chesher, Joanne Mietzner,

After seeing the Orcas fifth to eighth graders perform, one of the judges recalled seeing the Orcas High School Strings perform the previous day and was clearly impressed by the impact of all the Orcas string players. “You have something great going on there on Orcas,” she remarked with some amazement to the Orcas music director. Then she began peppering Wright with questions about how the string program is set up.

Orcas Montessori School Orcas Choral Society to perform Mozart’s Requiem celebrates 25 years Celebrate with Orcas Montessori on May 4 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the annual Spring Auction and Beer and Wine Tasting Event – this year being held at the Island Hoppin’ Brewery. The evening will include a live auction, music by Corey Wiscomb and Robb Eagle and wine from the Monticello Vineyards. They’ll also have beer tasting and food made by local chefs and bakers. Tickets are $25 for the auction and party plus an optional $10 for the beer or wine tasting. Tickets can be purchased at Darvill’s Bookstore, the brewery or by calling the school at 376-5350. After co-leading a Montessori playgroup with Kaya Jacolev, founder Moriah Armstrong opened the doors of Orcas Montessori in October 1987 to a bustling group of 10 children. Having received her Montessori certification, Armstrong served as both the class guide and director and the Fralick family hosted the school in their own home. Armstrong recruited friends and family, including her husband Daniel, who built many of the original materials, tables, shelves, and even some of the basic sensorial and math materials like the Pink Tower. Since then the school has continued to grow and evolve. In 1989 the school moved to Eastsound, first inhabiting a trailer on School Street, then occupying space at Orcas Island Elementary in what is now the music room. In 1997, the school purchased its current building on North Beach Road, raising more than $20,000 through donations and grants to secure a down payment. Since December 1999, the school has been led by Director Teresa Chocano. Tom Rubottom joined the school in the fall of 2000 as the head guide. In 2012, Moriah renewed her association with the school – this time as a board member. For more info about the school, visit www.orcasmontessori.org or call 376-5350.

Mozart's Requiem: the mysteries continue. Few musical compositions have aroused as much awe and sense of mystery as Mozart's Requiem. One of the greatest and most controversial choral works of all time, the Requiem will be performed by the Orcas Choral Society for one performance only presented by Orcas Center on Sunday, April 21 at 2 p.m.. Mozart’s Requiem is the biggest challenge to date for the Orcas Choral Society, the longest standing choral group on Orcas, and will feature both local and visiting instrumentalists and singers. Soloists for the concert are: Orcas’ own Sharon Abreu, soprano; Kathryn

Weld, contralto; Neil Jordan, tenor; and Charles Stephens, bass. The otherworldly composition of the Requiem remains among the most provocative and thrilling large-scale musical works to hear live. The audience can sit back and enjoy the music’s strong contrasting sounds, which are at once powerful and serene. The controversy, awe and sense of mystery surrounding Mozart's Requiem is due not only to the genius of the music but also to the circumstances surrounding its creation. Mozart’s Requiem in D minor was his final composition and the consuming passion of his last months. The piece was written for an unknown patron, and Mozart reportedly came to believe in the end that he was writing the funereal work for his own death. At only 35 years old, Mozart passed away, leaving the Requiem unfinished but with significant compositional ideas in place and detailed instructions on how to complete the work. This “death mass cut short by death” is one of the most performed and studied pieces of music in history and the story of the

mysterious commission of Mozart’s Requiem is a well-known one. The film Amadeus (1984), continued to obscure and confuse the facts around Mozart’s Requiem. On April 28, Orcas Choral Society will take the Requiem on the road to St. Mark’s Cathedral in Seattle. Tickets for Mozart’s Requiem are $25, $19 Orcas Center members, $13 students, and may be purchased at www.orcascenter. org or by calling 376-2281 ext. 1 or visiting the Orcas Center Box Office open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from noon to 4 p.m.

Take a hike with Trails Network

The Lopez Community Trails Network is again scheduling a series of hikes open to the public under the title of “Go Take a Hike.” Their hike schedule, under the direction of Bob Walker includes a variety of destinations on and off the island, including easy beach walks to more strenuous mountain hikes. There is no expense except the sharing of transportation costs when the group goes off island. The group’s upcoming hike is Cascade Falls in Moran State Park on Orcas on April 20. Walker leads this hike that parallels the stream which flows from Mountain Lake to Cascade Lake. This is in a gorgeous spring environment with multiple waterfalls and such an easy short hike too. It is about 2.5 miles round trip, (Olga Road to the dam and return). Those on Lopez will car pool for the 9:55 a.m. ferry to Orcas. Those in Eastsound must meet at Orcas trailhead at 11:15. Return to Lopez on the 3:10 p.m. ferry. Sign up with Walker by calling 468-3397 or email robwillwalk@ hotmail.com. Orcas Islanders can also join the Trails Network for a hike on Turtleback Mountain on July 13. Mike Moore will lead hikers from the south trailhead approach, which gives immediate views to other San Juan Islands on the south. As hikers head up, mossy outcrops and wildflowers appear as well as the mountain crest. The new Turtlehead connector trail may be ready for participants to explore. This is a three to six miles, round trip depending. They will car pool from Lopez on an early morning ferry. Sign up with Mike Moore at 468-3622 or Bob Walker at 468-3397.

Bob Vietzke challenges other islanders to the home brew contest at the Cider and Mead Festival on May 11. All you Orcas Island cider home brewers, it’s time to brew your best to beat Bob Vietzke, first place winner of the Cider Home Brew Competition at last year’s Cider and Mead Festival. He’ll be in it again this year with another batch of his prize-winning cider. Vietzke challenges any cider or mead home brewer on Orcas Island who thinks theirs is better to try to take away his bid to win “Best Orcas Brew of the Fest” for the second year in a row. The Orcas Home Brew Competition, open only to Orcas Island home brewers, is part of the Annual Orcas Island Cider and Mead Festival on May 11 in the Eastsound Village Green from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. alongside the Orcas Farmers’ Market. More than 20 hard cider and mead producers including Finnriver, Sky River, Alpenfire, Honey Run, Methow Valley Ciderhouse, Hidden Valley, Tieton Cider Works, Chaucers Mead, Crispin, 2 Towns, and Snowdrift are expected to gather under the tasting tent offering up to 100 varieties of ciders and meads produced in the Great Northwest and parts beyond. Orcas Island musicians will be entertaining the throng and the Home Brew Competition to beat Vietzke will be held in the afternoon around 2 p.m. Adults over 21 will enter the tasting tent to sample amazing ciders and meads for an admission fee starting at $5, net proceeds of which benefit the Orcas Island Farm to Cafeteria Program.

Playwrights Festival at Grange Music writing workshop The Playwrights Festival was created to encourage local islanders to show off their talents and to challenge them to develop skills in writing, acting and directing. Seven short plays have been selected this year, all with varying settings ranging from the bedroom of a six-star hotel to entrance of a palm readers shop to the visiting room of a prison. The plays included in this year’s PlayFest are: “A Play at the Plate” written by Indy Zoeller, directed by Lynda Sanders and Melinda Milligan, and starring Fred Vinson and Peter Vinson. A veteran baseball sportscaster clashes with his up-and-coming broadcaster partner, both on and off the air, during the late innings of a game. “Yard Sale” written by Jackie Bates, directed by Frank Michels, and starring Audrey Neddermann, Nate Feder, and Gillian Smith. Em is getting ready for a garage sale and things get complicated when unexpected and uninvited “help” shows up. “Sign Off ” written by Cara Russell, directed by Gillian smith, and starring Tom Fiscus, Aerial Brown and Andy Martin. It’s late one night in Manteca, Calif. in April of 1973, and a young woman is determined to change her life. “Adverse Possession” written by Bill Westlake, directed by Lin McNulty, and starring Maura O’Neill, Chelsea Dean and

Brian Richard. Never underestimate the power of a woman in prison. “Results Are In” written by Lin McNulty, directed by Cara Russell, and starring Olivia Smith, Michele Griskey and Nick Hershenow. On the biggest night of Holly Ogden’s career, daughter Heather has managed to put a halt to the night, and make it all about her. “The Palm Reader” written by James Wolf, directed by Patty Monaco, featuring Cara Russell and Thian Armenia. A chance encounter between a young boy playing war and a woman who cares could prove to be life-changing. “Devil May Care” written by Frank Michels, directed by Audra Goffeney, starring Kira Bradshaw as Aurora, Cele Westlake as Bethany, Tracy Oniya as Satini and Bev Johnsen as Rue. “Devil May Care” follows a young woman as she struggles with her demons in order to find her sobriety. The plays will be presented at the Grange on Friday, April 26, Saturday, April 27 and Sunday, April 28, Friday, May 3, Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5. All performances are at 7:30 p.m. This event is suitable for children over 13. Tickets are $5. For additional information call Cara Russell a 376-6052 or email her at lobby_ drifter@hotmail.com.

Orcas Center presents a “Write Your Own Music Workshop” with Carolyn Cruso, a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist, composer, recording artist and educator and guest artists Ruthie Foster and Jim Bredouw. Cruso is pictured at right. Her workshop on songwriting and composition is for youth and adults. She has been a performing songwriter, composer, recording artist and educator for more than 20 years. The six-class workshop covers a different element of music each day: rhythm, melody, chord progression, harmony, lyrics, ensemble playing and performance. Students will improvise and experiment with each element as well as listen to samples. Throughout the process, musical gems are gleaned from the improvisations, and used as seeds to develop an emerging composition. Each day the piece

Town hall about underage drinking Submitted by Point Blank

Orcas High School’s leadership group Point Blank is a chapter of a national organization called SADD, Students Against Destructive Decisions. This group is dedicated to providing information that will inform, educate, support and empower students to make positive decisions in their future. On Tuesday, April 23 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the back of the school library, Point Blank will host a Town Hall meeting. This event is part of a statewide campaign to engage adults and youth in taking action to reduce underage drinking. The campaign, “Let’s Draw the Line,” is sponsored by the Washington State Coalition to Reduce Underage Drinking (RUaD). In the fall, several Point Blank members attended

the Yakima Prevention Summit. They participated in a workshop for community change. This workshop taught them to assess a community issue that concerned them and validate those issues, then find a focal point, create an action plan and evaluate the results. Point Blank’s focus for community change is to reduce underage drinking. Underage drinking is especially harmful to the still-developing teen brain and can lead to destructive decisions. Consequences may range from low selfesteem and poor grades to illegal actions, car accidents, and serious injuries or even death. Parents and involved community members are vital to keeping young people from developing unhealthy and dangerous habits. This town hall meeting is a key step in Point
