First grader Lluvia Qunitero works on an assignment in Homework Club, which is part of the Orcas School District’s English Language Learners’ program. Lluvia speaks Spanish and English. The ELL program also offers parenting classes and has created a Spanish library.
Everyone was frustrated. Students could not understand the homework and their Spanishspeaking parents were struggling to help, but could not read the directions in English. “Homework can be a difficult dynamic if parents are unable to help,” said Robin Freeman, Orcas School District’s English Language Learners’ teacher. “Stress around homework can set up a power struggle after school.” In response to this educational battle the Homework Club was established three years ago. The ELL program also held parenting classes and has created a Spanish library. All three new additions have been funded by an anonymous donor. Catherine Laflin has been the ELL coordinator for five years and has watched the program grow from about seven students to 23 students, with three new kindergarteners coming in next year. Currently students are from homes that speak Thai as well
Two in the running for county manager by STEVE WEHRLY Journal reporter
A day and a half of closed session interviews with applicants for the county manager position has reduced the field to two undisclosed finalists. County Human Resource Manager Pamela Morais said the council has asked for more information about the two finalists, and will meet again in executive session Tuesday, May 21, to further discuss the two finalists. A final decision must be made in an open council meeting, which is expected, but not guaranteed, to occur the same day. With the help of the Prothman Company of Issaquah, an executive search consultant that specializes in finding local government managers, the council winnowed 44 resumes down to seven, two of whom declined to proceed further. Five San Juan County residents applied, and several other applicants had historical or family ties to the islands. Morais declined to
name any names beyond the six finalists previously released to the media. After spending Monday, May 13, touring the county and meeting local residents at open houses on Orcas, Lopez and San Juan Islands, the five candidates spent Tuesday rotating through three meeting rooms and three audiences at county headquarters. Separate panels of citizens and department managers met with the candidates, but whether the panels presented findings to the council was not disclosed. The council itself spent most of Tuesday meeting in executive session, interviewing the remaining five candidates. Two finalists were asked back for the private interviews the following day. All five finalists were selected from a larger first-cut list of applicants recommended by Prothman for the job. The new county manager will replace the prior county administrator, a position originally created by the county charter, then eliminated in one of three amendments endorsed by the Charter Review Commission and approved
by voters in November. That vote also reduced the county council from six part-time legislators to three full-time elected positions vested with both legislative and executive duties. The county manager, who will be paid about $150,000 a year, will assist the new three-person county council in overseeing the functions of local government and those departments not managed by another elected county official, such as the sheriff, auditor or prosecuting attorney. San Juan County’s only administrator, Pete Rose, hired in 2006 as part of the implementation of the charter, resigned in 2012. Since then, Bob Jean has been acting administrator and then acting manager. The five candidates selected as finalists for job are: David Wilbrecht of Mammoths Lakes, Calif., Suzanne Sinclair of Seneca Falls, N.Y., Michael Pence from Flathead County, Mont., Jim Pascale of Hopewell N.J., and Michael Thomas, of Enumclaw, Wash.
as Bahasa from Indonesia, but the majority of students speak Spanish. Laflin says she is regularly inspired by all the little steps along the way that the students take towards learning a second language. “These students are so often working twice as hard as others, as they learn the content and the language at the same time,” she said.
The Homework Club The Homework Club runs on Mondays and Wednesdays after school. The program is open to students in first through eighth grade. According to Freeman, who is the lead teacher of the homework club, the average English speaking kindergarten student enters school with a 1,000-word vocabulary, which is also true of ELL students in their home language. But they have to build their English repertoire of words. “It is exhausting listening to a new language all day long,”

OPAL honors Molly Roberts Longtime Orcas resident and registered nurse Molly Roberts was honored with the Sky Award recognizing volunteer service during OPAL Community Land Trust’s 23rd annual meeting on May 2. The Sky Award, which has been presented since 1998, recognizes those who, following the example of Michael Sky and Penny Sharp Sky, have contributed significant volunteer service in support of building and sustaining community on Orcas Island. “Since 1997 Molly has generously volunteered her skills to bring comfort and care to the dying in her role as Orcas Island’s resident hospice nurse,” said Helen Bee, OPAL trustee, in presenting the award. For the past 10 years, Roberts has also been a member of Orcas Island Fire and Rescue’s Critical Incident Team, which is available to assist firstresponders with stress management. Roberts, who first moved to Orcas in 1971 and taught at the elementary school before completing her nursing education, became a volunteer EMT in 1985 and was named Orcas EMT of the Year in 1986. From 1997 to 2001 she served on the board of the Orcas Island Community Foundation and was a member of the Grants Committee. In addition, she has been an active volunteer backstage at Orcas Center. During the brief business meeting Judy Whiting was recognized for her five years on the OPAL staff and

OICF: ‘make history this week’ Insurance with a smile The Orcas Island Community Foundation and Partners in Philanthropy have committed more than $106,000 to fund proposals in this year’s Community Grants program. Thanks to their support, seniors will continue to get home support through Hearts and Hands, there will be CPR training and a defibrillator available at Moran State Park, the Farm to Cafeteria program will continue to thrive, and much more. The Awards Celebration will be on Friday, May 31 at 2 p.m. at the Orcas Center. The amount of $106,000 is exactly the record number distributed through the Community Grants program in 2012. The cycle closes on May 24 and there are still opportunities on the list from enrichment programs for the senior center, weekend food for kids in need, funding a counselor for the school, and more. See all the opportunities at www.oicf.us.
County prevails in lawsuit A court has found that the state Open Public Meetings Act was not violated by the San Juan County Council by discussions in a joint council/staff “implementation committee” prior to passage of the CAO updates by the county council. On May 9, Island County Superior Court Judge Alan R. Hancock issued a summary judgement in favor of San Juan County in the case of Citizens Alliance for Property Rights Legal Fund v. San Juan County. Subject to an appeal, which CAPR spoke person Gordy Peterson said “is very likely,” the decision essen-
tially dismisses the case. CAPR Legal Fund sued the county in San Juan County Superior Court in October, seeking to have the critical areas ordinances invalidated because some 20 closed meetings were held involving three county council members and various county staffers. After these meetings, the entire council met, discussed and passed the CAO package late in 2012. The case was transferred from Superior Court Judge Don Eaton’s purview to Judge Hancock after CAPR attorney Dennis Reynolds successfully argued that Eaton should, as an elected
officer of San Juan County, be disqualified. Hancock’s decision squarely supported county Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord’s contention that the meetings in question were not “public meetings” under the Washington Open Public Meeting Act. Although he discussed and dismissed a number of tangential factual and legal issues, the crux of Hancock’s decision, based upon Washington appellate precedents, was “for the purposes of OPMA, a meeting occurs only if a majority or quorum of the governing body is present.”
Donations sought for fireworks The Orcas Island Chamber’s annual Fourth of July Fireworks show in Eastsound is in place and ready to go for Thursday, July 4. “Viewing from the Waterfront Park and surrounding areas will be amazing,” said Chamber Director Lance Evans. “The chamber knows the annual pyrotechnics show is an invaluable event that attracts visitors to the island – and delights islanders of all ages.” The cost of putting on a fireworks show has increased over the years. With stricter marine and Homeland Security regulations, and a barge rental charge, the chamber no longer can absorb the cost into its operations budget. To be a donor for this year’s show, there are several sponsorship levels: Gold Level ($500-plus), Silver Level ($250-plus), Bronze Level ($100-plus). Call 3762273 or e-mail info@orcasislandchamber.com.

Michele Wiley admits it’s a funny thing to be enthusiastic about, but that doesn’t stop her from loving her job. “Everyone needs insurance, so let’s make it fun and do it right,” she said. “It is such a good feeling to know my clients leave my office protected.” Wiley, who owns Chele Enterprises, has just moved into the Madrona Point Insurance office on North Beach Road, where she is working with owner Sean Roach to “make it her own.” Roach moved to Seattle two years ago. Wiley splits her time between Orcas and the mainland, where she has an office in the Arlington/Smokey Point area. She also has a handful of Canadian customers. Wiley, who had a 20-year career in the high tech communications industry, decided to open her own business doing something she is passionate about: selling insurance. Chele Enterprises is part of the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of Washington. “It’s always been my dream to have my own business and this allows me to live in a beautiful place and still maintain connections off-island,” she said. “Insurance is ever-changing and evolving. I do everything from one-car policies to home, auto, vacation, second home and aviation.” Wiley has lived on Orcas off and on for 30 years. Her dad Mike is a painting contractor on the island. “Orcas has been a magnet,” she said. “It’s pulled me back.” Wiley says she prides herself on getting competitive quotes and the best price for the best coverage. She often does risk-analysis for clients and evaluates their current policies with other companies.

Michele Wiley is now in the Madrona Point Insurance office at 365 North Beach Road. She can be reached at 376-5707. “If someone has really good coverage, I tell them to stay where they are,” she said. When asked what she does for fun, Wiley answered: “sell insurance.” She has volunteered for the Orcas Island Chamber for years as well as the chamber in Arlington, where she chairs the “Business After Hours” program. “I love to do community service and be with people,” she said. “I walk out of here every day in awe of the opportunity we have here.”

To the What Memorial Day is Editor:

Support for Broadband Initiative
F
un in the sun. Backyard barbecues. An extra day off work. This is what many people think of when they plan for the threeday Memorial Day weekend holiday. And there is plenty to do here on Orcas: the pet parade, the annual Bite of Orcas, the Orcas Island Education Foundation’s “Food for Thought” benefit. While we encourage you to take advantage of the many community offerings this weekend, we’d like to point out the real reason we celebrate this holiday: veterans. Memorial Day is an occasion to pay tribute to the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Many people visit cemeteries and memorials and place an American flag on gravesites. Formerly known as Decoration Day, the holiday originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died. By the 20th Century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died in wars. This coming holiday weekend marks the launch of the summer season. Lather on the sunscreen and lick an ice cream cone while strolling through the farmers’ market. But also take a moment to appreciate those who have fought in our honor and now rest silently beneath the ground.

Our current Internet service provided by CenturyLink does not even average half of the speed stated in the plan we are paying for with them, either uploading or downloading. Neither they nor any other company offers a high(er) speed broadband service for us, or have indicated any plans to do so. If you are frustrated with not being able to stream an uninterrupted Netflix movie, send or receive pictures via email without your service grinding to a halt, or even watch a YouTube or other video about a favorite sports, political, or other subject without it stopping and starting innumerable times, then you should support the OPALCO initiative now. For the same price we are currently paying, we can receive from OPALCO at least 10 times the speed we are supposed to receive from CenturyLink, (about 20 times the speed we actually currently receive from CenturyLink), in addition to the other benefits in the OPALCO Broadband Initiative. As a retired employee of a major Telecom company, I can assure you that there is little if any incentive for a major player to upgrade our services, as we are just not a significant enough customer base. The only way any other company will be interested in improving our broadband service is if they can make a profit off of us, which would require a very, very significant increase in the cost of that service to us for the infrastructure improvements they would be required to make. The significant improvement in service via the OPALCO Broadband Initiative (10 to 20 times the speed) can come at a cost which is little if any more costly than what we are currently paying for the very poor service from CenturyLink. So if you are at all interested in receiving in the foreseeable future much better Internet service at about the same cost you are paying now for very poor service, please go to the OPALCO website

Let’s talk about mammograms by HOLLY KING Orcas Library
Orcas Library is sponsoring a Health and Wellness week from June 10 to 15. Part of our offering is bringing up the mobile mammography unit from Assured Imaging – the largest mobile mammography provider in the United States. They have the latest technology and recently just set a record for the most mammograms done in one day in a mobile setting. The highly trained staff will be performing screening mammograms in a private office at the county end of the Senior Services building. The American Cancer Society recommends that women over the age of 40 have an annual screening. Yet almost half of those eligible don’t do it. Why? Here are some commonly reported reasons:
LETTERS FROM 4 vides kids with a safe, educational, fun place to go everyday after school. For over a decade this program has been critical for many families on Orcas. This program has never been more critical than it is now; and our numbers have never been higher. A study done in October/ November showed that 70 to 75 children are coming to The Funhouse after school at least twice a week. This year we also had as many as 50 kids on one day – a record! We couldn’t do it without the generous support of the community, and critical organizations like the United Way of San Juan County. Pete Moe Executive Director Funhouse Commons
Thanks for Montessori auction Thank you to the many local and off island friends and businesses that contributed to the success of the Orcas Montessori School Spring Auction on May 4. OMS extends many heartfelt thanks to:
1. A mammogram takes too long. In fact, the average appointment is less 20 minutes from start to finish. And it’s a lot less time to do it on-island, rather than taking a whole day off. 2. They cost too much. Medicare and most major insurance companies will cover the cost of the screening. And if you don’t have insurance, Assured Imaging is offering a cash cost of only $165. Other mammography facilities charge more than double that. 3. It hurts. Well, it may be uncomfortable, but it shouldn’t hurt. (It’s mostly anxiety.) Compression of the breast tissue not only allows for a better visualization but it also reduces the amount of radiation necessary. 4. Fear of finding something. As if not knowing about cancer will somehow magically make it go away? One in eight women

will develop breast cancer in their lifetimes. Look around – you or someone you know will be affected. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women in the U.S. Take this important step and have yourself screened. Mammograms can detect cancer in its very early stages – long before most women can feel a lump. With early detection most breast cancers can be successfully treated and cured. Join us and let Assured Imaging put all your worries to rest. Every woman who has a mammogram will be entered in a drawing for a fabulous gift card! We are expecting a full schedule so don’t wait.

OPALCO not ready for Broadband by CHrIs aNd CHOm GreaCeN
Is OPALCO ready for broadband? We don’t think so. No doubt that better and faster internet would bring economic, educational and communication benefits. But we have grave concerns about OPALCO’s current business plan to venture into broadband business. OPALCO has 75-year experience running electricity distribution as a monopoly business, with relatively little technological innovation. Even in the field of its expertise, OPALCO has been slow to adapt to and capitalize on the new challenges of changing electricity market. For example, OPALCO is letting slip precious opportunities to restructure tariffs and to proactively invest in energy efficiency and local energy generation in response to the threat of more costly Tier 2 electricity and diminishing low-cost supplies. Is OPALCO well-suited to dive into an entirely new and competitive business of telecommunications with very fast changing and complicated technology? We have seen examples of other coops and municipal utilities having made similar decisions to venture into telecom and failed miserably. Chelan County Public Utility District decided in early 2000s to take advantage of its fiber optic backbone and invested in expanding its network to provide internet to its rural customers. A decade later, it was losing $8 million/year and faced with the difficult choice of having to sell its network to cut its losses, cough up about $100 million to cover outstanding debt, or hike electricity rates significantly to stay afloat. And Chelan had one thing OPALCO doesn’t:
deep pockets from owning three revenue-generating hydropower projects of over 2000 MW. The City of Ashland’s municipal electric utility got into a similar mess a decade ago and had to pay off $15.5 million in debt and raise rates, hurting low and middle-income residents. Utilities in Utah and Connecticut also suffered similar predicaments as a result of technological advances, stiff competition and lack of experience. What specific measures does OPALCO propose to avoid the fate that fell to these utilities? Is OPALCO confident it has the expertise, experience, resources and nimbleness to survive and thrive in such a cutthroat competitive industry? What financial firewall provisions are OPALCO putting in place to protect OPALCO’s $60 million in assets if the plan goes rotten? When OPALCO asks its members to underwrite, through a $15 per month fee (whether or not we want broadband service), a $34 million investment that could put its core business and members’ capital
credit at risk, it is naturally expected that the financial analysis be made available to its members. But the most OPALCO has offered so far is a 15-page summary document with little financial details. The lack of information transparency makes it difficult for members to properly evaluate the risks and economics of the broadband venture and make an informed decision on whether to sign up or opt out. Cutthroat industry. Little experience. Apparently no financial firewalls to protect a public service we rely on. Lack of transparency in information available to members. This doesn’t look good. Let’s look at other options for getting fast internet, like maybe leasing bandwidth on OPALCO’s existing fiber optic lines to someone else better poised to take these risks.

SPANISH FROM 1 Freeman said. “I really admire our ELL students for working so hard.” Freeman, teaching assistant Leah Cardinell and high school volunteers use a variety of tools to teach such as a white board and other tools to help clarify concepts that might be confusing. “I am always amazed that students willingly show up for an hour after school to
continue working, however, I think the satisfaction of completing assignments motivates many of them,” Freeman said.
Parenting Classes Three two-hour parenting classes were delivered by Erin O’Dell from Orcas Family Connections in March. About 10 families turned out for the class and had dinner cooked by Bing Mowry. The curriculum

provided parents with skills to help them develop cooperation, responsibility and self-esteem in their children. Laflin is always thinking up new ways to integrate parents into the program. “One dream I have is that we can organize classes in English for the parents that could perhaps happen simultaneously as homework club,” she said.
Spanish library For the last two years, the
ELL program has checked out children’s books in Spanish for kindergarten through third grade. Some parents have started coming in and looking through book boxes that are placed in the classrooms and then checking out the books with their children. “We learn so much by reading. It is the door that opens into all the subjects – math, social studies, science, literature…” said Laflin. “Having parents read with kids has long-lasting

positive effects on student learning.” Recently, 50 more Spanish language books have been purchased in response to the kids’ interest in the library.
Growth Laflin says that each year students are given a state test called the Washington English Language Proficiency Assessment and every year she sees marked progress.
But every day she sees students blossom in areas like understanding concepts, expression and their ability to apply these lessons in new ways. Laflin says this is the result between classroom teachers, ELL staff, and preschools that have been doing “a great job” in preparing students. “The more we have worked together as a team … the more that we have supported our families, the greater the growth,” she added.
Round two for transportation program San Juan County has been awarded state funding to continue administering the Transportation Voucher Program through 2015. While the current phase of the program closes this June, the popular program will begin accepting applications for phase two at the end of summer. Kicking off last August, the Transportation Voucher Program has seen significant use by its participants over the last nine months; providing 160 taxi rides, 35-45 ferry fares, and repairing and making safer six to eight vehicles per month. The Transportation Voucher Program serves 180 of our most transportation -vulnerable community members, equal to about 1.5 percent of total county population. The Transportation Voucher Program represents a unique public-private partnership of transportation provid-
ers, and local social services, to provide community access for Transportation Voucher Program participants. The Transportation Voucher Program boasts taxi service and ferry fare access on San Juan, Orcas and Lopez islands, and auto repair and parts services on Orcas and San Juan. Ferry fares are acquired through partnership with the Family Resource Centers. If you are currently a Transportation Voucher Program participant, make plans to spend your remaining funds prior to June 15. If you have any questions regarding the Transportation Voucher Program or public transportation in San Juan County, contact Christopher Aiken at 370-7512, or christophera@sanjuanco.com.

Lady Vikings to compete at state this weekend
Page 9
by MARTY ZIER Sports contributor
The Lady Vikings entered the 2B Bi-District Tournament with a win against the Darrington Loggers on May 18 in Stanwood, securing a trip to the state playoffs. Later in the day, the Orcas team’s state seeding was determined after a loss to the LaConner Braves. Orcas started the tournament winning 10-0 against a Logger team they had beat three times this season with Aliviah Garcia pitching to catcher Alicia Susol in a game shortened by the 10-run rule. The win or go home game securing a trip to the state playoffs May 24 and 25. “Consistent hitting throughout the lineup and solid defense made this a dominant game,” Coach Scott Harris said. “Alenna Garcia went three for three with two base hits and three stolen bases and Lana Bronn went three for four with two base hits and a triple. Aliviah dominated the circle with 10 strike-outs and only two walks.” Orcas lost 10-8 to the LaConner Braves in a hard-fought second game to determine state seeding. Orcas had beat the Braves two out of three times this season. The Braves struck quick with three runs in the first inning but the Vikings responded in kind with two runs off an Aliviah Garcia double. A second inning home run by Bella Nigretto brought in two runs and was followed by a double by Katie Holley and an RBI single by Emma Minnis, putting the Vikings in the lead. However, momentum shifted in the fourth inning as the Vikings lost focus and gave up five runs after a time-out for an injured Viking player. The Vikings fought back with a few more runs but ran out of innings against the hard hitting Braves. The Vikings take on the Dayton Bulldogs on May 24 at 11 a.m. at the Gateway Sports Complex in Yakima, Wash.

ave no fear, Wolf Hollow is here. As the superhero of the animal world, the rehabilitation center treats injured creatures big and small, provides public education and conducts non-invasive research. And one of its major fundraisers is coming up this weekend. “The 18th Annual Bite of Orcas is a fun way for us to connect with people who live on or visit Orcas,” said Education Coordinator Shona Aitken. “It helps let new residents know we exist and remind others that although our center is on San Juan Island, we serve all of the islands.” The upcoming event will be held on Saturday, May 25 on the Village Green from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. It offers a mouth-watering menu of foods like pizza, mini burgers, cupcakes, ice cream, sushi rolls, steamed clams and Chicago-style hot dogs plus a variety of refreshing beverages, including beer from

Wolf Hollow is located on San Juan Island, but has served all of San Juan and Skagit County for the past 30 years. The 40-acre property hosts 40 animal enclosures, including an eagle flight enclosure, seal pools, a deer enclosure, and a songbird aviary. So far this year, Wolf Hollow has treated 130 animals and Aitken says that number is increasing daily. Some are with the center for only a few days, while others need care for several months. Right now, the facility is home to 30 animals, including ducklings, goslings, raccoon kits, fawns, baby cottontails, young opossums and a fledgling Stellers’ Jay. The animals are cared for at the facility on San Juan, but trained volunteers on the other islands respond to calls, assess the nature of each animal’s problem and, when necessary, capture it and arrange for its transport to the center. To report finding an injured or orphaned animal, call 378-5000.

‘This House’ at Orcas Center Last chance to hear young
Photo by Johan Persson Charles Edwards in “This House,” which will stream at the center.
Do “Downton Abbey,” “The Iron Lady,” “The Queen,” “Frost/Nixon” and “West Wing” captivate you? Then this funny, fastpaced, aggressive, confrontational, thoughtprovoking and entertaining new play by James Graham “This House” is for you. Don’t miss the screening of National Theatre Live’s relevant, social and political comedy/ drama at Orcas Center on Thursday, May 23 at 7:30 p.m. Here’s the story. It’s 1974 and the corridors of Westminster ring with the sound of infighting and backbiting as Britain’s political parties battle to change the future of the nation, whatever it takes. In this hung parliament, the ruling party holds on by a thread. Votes are won and lost by one, fist fights erupt in the bars, and ill members of parliament are hauled in to cast their votes. It’s a time when a staggering number of politicians die, and age old traditions and allegiances are thrown aside in the struggle for power. Tickets are $18 for adults, $13 students, $2 off for Orcas Center members, and may be purchased at www.orcascenter.org or by calling 376-2281 ext. 1 or visiting the Orcas Center Box Office.
‘National Police Week’ The Orcas Senior Center honored the Orcas Deputies last Friday in a lunch celebration in honor of “National Police Week.” Each deputy was presented with a Teezers gift certificate, cookies, a “thin blue line” painting, and a card signed by almost 100 island seniors. During the appreciation ceremony, Senior Services Coordinator Marla Johns, read from Paul Harvey's “A Policeman is...” Deputies were also treated to lunch at the senior center. “Police Week is important to recognize the significance and sacrifice of our law enforcement officers,” Johns said. “The Orcas Senior Center hopes to make this an annual event during National Peace Officers week each year, and encourages other island organizations to add this important week to their calendars as well.

Orcas school music students are now preparing for the school year’s final three music concerts, which will take place over the next three Thursdays. “Here’s your chance to hear and support these award-winning young musicians for the last time this year,” said Pamela Wright, music director for strings and choir. “Also, sadly, this is your last chance to see Martin Lund conducting our band musicians because he is resigning at the end of this school year.” Each concert takes place on a Thursday, but each takes place in a different venue. All concerts are free and open to the public, although donations are gratefully accepted for the High School concert. The first concert is Thursday, May 23, with a performance by fifth through eighth grades at 7 p.m. in the Orcas School Cafeteria. Concertgoers on May 23 will hear the fifth and sixth grade choir sing “Rolling in the Deep” by Adele and “Gold” by Britt Nicole. The fifth and sixth grade strings will play “Western Dreams” and “Swashbucklin’ Sailors,” tra-

One of the exceptional parts of this concert is sure to be the appearance of violinist Monique Mead, soloing with the Orcas High School strings on Vivaldi’s “Spring” from “The Four Seasons.” In addition, the Orcas Youth Orchestra will play a Martin Lund arrangement of “I Like a Gershwin Song”, as well as Brahms 2nd Symphony, Third movement. Donations to the Music Advocacy Group (MAG) will be accepted for this performance to offset the $400+ rental fee for Orcas Center. On Thursday, June 6, kindergarten through fourth grade students will conclude the series with a concert at 6:30 p.m. in the Old Gym at the Orcas School.

The 23rd Annual Pet Parade will be taking over the streets of Eastsound on Saturday, May 25. Kaleidoscope Preschool and Child Care Center is at it again, preparing for the island’s furry friends parade. The starting location is School Road at 10 a.m. for judging. As usual, the parade will start at 11 a.m. Participants will mosey down School Road to North Beach Road, take a left on A Street, right on Prune Alley, right on Main Street, then back on North Beach Road to the Eastsound Village Green band shell. Rumor has it that Children’s House mayoral candidates will be campaigning, so come schmooze with the “politicians.” And new this year, parade participants will be divided into two categories: 1. Children and pets that want to be categorized and judged for trophy award to be presented on Eastsound Village Green. 2. Participants want to be eligible for Pawki’s best adult entry gift certificate and are there primarily for the parade experience. All participants will register, get photographed by Pawki’s and get goodies of their choice from Pawki’s. Entries will not be allowed to enter either judging line after 10:45 a.m. This new system will reduce the time it takes for the judging and awards, and increase the enjoyment of the parade experience for all. Also available at the end location will be kid friendly food (donated by The Lower Tavern) and customized Kaleidoscope T-shirts. Any questions, call Kaleidoscope at 376-2484.

“Poor little thing! He’s all on his own! He must have lost his mommy!” It is the time of year when people find tiny fawns lying curled up in the grass with no adult deer in sight and presume they are lost or orphaned and need to be rescued. In fact, they are doing exactly what they should be doing – lying still and quiet waiting for mom. Most of the black tailed deer fawns on the islands are born in May, and for the first couple of weeks, are not strong enough to follow mom for any distance.
Their legs are too weak and wobbly to push through brush, jump over fallen logs or run away from danger, so their mother leaves them in a nice sheltered spot while she goes off to feed. The fawn’s job is to lie quiet and still and wait for her to return, protected by the camouflage of its spotted coat and the fact that it has almost no scent to attract predators.

After a few hours (up to 6 or 8 hours is not unusual) the doe returns to nurse her fawn, then may move it to another spot nearby before going off to feed again. By the time the fawn is about three weeks old it has grown much stronger and is able to spend more time following its mother. Each year we raise injured fawns, or orphans whose mothers have been killed by cars or dogs, but, sadly, we also receive fawns that have been “kidnapped” by wellmeaning people. If we know exactly where the fawn was found we can quickly return it, but too often it has been kept overnight, fed inappropriate food, or passed from one person to another, so we are not able to take it back where it came from. Ideally, does leave their young fawns in secluded spots in the woods, but occasionally fawns turn up in unusual places such as a construction yard, on a golf course green or on someone’s back deck, right under the barbecue! This may be the result of a mother’s misjudgment, but fawns’ strong instincts to drop and freeze at the slightest danger can also get them into trouble. This is most obvious when they
are crossing roads. The doe walks across the road with her little fawn tottering along behind. A car comes round the corner, the doe leaps off into the woods and the fawn instinctively drops flat and lies still. People then presume it is hurt and “rescue” it. What should you do in this situation? Stop the car a reasonable distance from the fawn. Walk up slowly and quietly and look it over. Are there any signs of injury? If not, slip your hands under the fawn’s chest and belly, handling it as little as possible, and gently carry it a short distance off the road before laying it down in a suitable spot in long grass or under some bushes. Then leave. Chances are good that the doe will return for her fawn when she is sure the coast is clear. We raise fawns each year and have suitable formula and enclosures, but it is far better for a fawn to be raised by its mother, so, if you find a little, spotted fawn lying curled up in the grass, please don’t touch it. Leave it there so mom can find it when she returns. If you are concerned about a fawn, call Wolf Hollow at 378-5000.
