Power of cinema

First annual Orcas Island Film Festival is coming this October

by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher

With its deep appreciation for the arts, Orcas Island is the perfect place to celebrate cinema. “I am a big film fan,” said Jared Lovejoy, who is spearheading the first annual Orcas film festival. “I love art house theaters and we have two viable locations here: the Sea View Theatre and Orcas Center. So it got me thinking.” After receiving a lodging tax grant through the chamber, Lovejoy’s vision is now becoming a reality. From October 10 to 13, “Orcas Island Film Festival – Off the Edge” will screen 25 independent, international, award-winning narrative and documentary features. Participants can meet directors and actors and participate in Q&As with filmmakers. Tickets for weekend or day passes go on sale the week of Sept. 15. A full calendar of events will be online mid-month at www.orcasfilmfest.com. Watch for a two-page special in the Oct. 1 edition of the Sounder. “It’s a great time of year to see films and share that experience,” Lovejoy said. “Festivals often turn into a big party. It’s usually a fun crowd.” He is partnering with Carl Spence, artistic director of the Seattle International Film Festival, to produce the Orcas event. SIFF is one of the top film festivals in North America. “Jared is a good friend, and I knew that anything he would be involved with would be something beneficial for the community,” Spence said. “He also knows how to produce great events. My husband and I own a house on Orcas Island and spend as much time as we can here despite the fact that we have more than

full-time jobs back in Seattle. The festival gives me another reason to find time to come back in October.” Lovejoy and Spence hope the festival will grow into a destination event. SIFF is using its existing mailing list and media contacts to promote the festivities, so a fair number of off-islanders are expected to show up. “There are already a number of film industry professionals who live and visit this magical island, and more are sure to discover it after visiting with their films,” Spence said. The festival is also made possible by volunteers and business sponsors who are giving funds and in-kind donations. Lovejoy says that it has been “gathering community momentum.” “Everybody is chipping in to make it work,” he said. “We hope it will be a yearly event that we all benefit from.” Lovejoy offered something a little special this year: a film grant program. After raising three $1500 grants, filmmakers were invited to submit scripts for a short film that would be shot 75 percent in the San Juans. There were 23 submissions and the winners were chosen by a panel of industry professionals both on the island and in Seattle. Once filming is complete, the shorts will be uploaded online for community voting. The winner will be featured in the 2015 Seattle International Film Festival. The three films are outlined below. “Drift” follows the journey of a broken branch as it travels between the San Juan Islands. Severed abruptly from its tree and cast aside, the branch finds

Human remains found in Moran A fisherman found decomposed human remains with a wallet in a collapsed tent located off-trail in a secluded area of Moran State Park near the bridge over the Cascade Lake lagoon on Sept. 6. The wallet contained a Texas driver’s license for a person from Plano, Texas. County Coroner Randall Gaylord said the remains were too decomposed to match the driver’s license, so he will arrange for a dental examination and search out dental records. In the meantime, family members of the person identified in the driver’s license have been contacted. According to Gaylord, the cause of death was not apparent from the view of the scene. A complete forensic examination will take

place at the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office. “Our first objective is to determine who this is and to notify his family,” Gaylord said. A medium-sized backpack in nearly new condition was nearby. It contained a computer, a change of clothes and certificates of graduation from Kansas State University with a masters in electrical engineering and from other schools. A Seattle Times newspaper for May 21, 2014 was also found in the backpack. Anyone who might have information is invited to call the San Juan County Sheriff at 378-4151 or the County Prosecutor/Coroner at 378-4101.

The school bell will be accompanied by the grinding of heavy machinery this school year as students head to the classroom. “The school staff worked really hard to make everything ready and safe for the kids,” said Project Manager Liz LeRoy of Alliance Construction Management in Seattle. The commotion is due to the fact that the grounds of the Orcas School are in phase one of the renovation process, which is going full steam ahead thanks to voters’ approval of a bond of $11.9 million for a campus makeover. Voters also approved a two-year general technology capital projects levy that will pay for modernizing the school’s technology facilities. Work by Tiger Construction began in June right after graduation. “We wanted to take advantage of summer to complete the underground work and finish the demolition to minimize the exposure to kids and prioritize safety,” said LeRoy.

Veteran director Kyle Orcas Islanders finish MS bike ride McLaglen dies on SJ

Veteran film director, Andrew V. McLaglen, 94, of Friday Harbor, Washington, passed away peacefully at his home on San Juan Island on Aug. 30, 2014. Born in London, England, he was the son of Academy Award-winning British actor Victor McLaglen and Enid Lamont. The family moved to Hollywood in 1925 when Andrew was five years old. His interest in filmmaking began during his high school years at Cate School, just outside Santa Barbara, Calif. There he began making 16mm movies with his friends. After spending one

year at the University of Virginia he decided to pursue a film career against the advice of his father. He got his first job in 1945 as a production assistant at Republic Pictures. Andrew went on to work as an assistant director with John Ford and William A. Wellman. Andrew was then given his first directing opportunities by John Wayne on “Gun the Man Down” and “Man in the Vault.” Andrew went on to a prolific career in television, directing 96 episodes of Gunsmoke (1956-1965) and 116 episodes of Have Gun – Will Travel (1957-1963). He returned to films in 1963 when he directed “McClintock!” starring John Wayne. He subsequently directed 26 films, working with many of Hollywood's greatest actors, including Richard Burton, Dean Martin, Kirk Douglas, Roger Moore, Robert Mitchum, Burt Lancaster, Gregory Peck, and William Holden.

A group of Orcas Islanders rode well over 100 miles last weekend to benefit multiple sclerosis research through the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's Deception Pass Classic in Mt. Vernon. The local riders were Axel Greening, Adia Dolan, Suzanne Olson, Kevin O'Brien and his son Keenan O'Brien. Kevin has been riding for MS since 2007 when his wife Nancy was diagnosed with the disease. Suzanne, who has lived with MS since 1988, was inspired to ride with a little push from her daughter in 2009. Adia and Axel joining the ride this year to support Suzanne; Keenan is making this ride and greater MS awareness his senior project. Keenan has already raised $10,000 for the National MS Society. Dolan and Greening are still working toward their goals of $250 each. Visit http://goo.gl/yj4ijJ and “find a ride” to make a donation toward their fundraising goals.

9/11 remembrance at Orcas Fire and Rescue Orcas Fire and Rescue will host a 9/11 Observance on Thursday, Sept. 11 at 9 a.m. at the Eastsound Station. The community is invited to attend. The observance will include the National Anthem performed by Cali Bagby, followed by brief words of reflection. Coffee and light snacks will be served following the ceremony.

Laura Robinson Ea n Our amazing, beautiful and talented Laura Tonkin Robinson Eagan - mother of Oceania Eagan Welsh of Seattle and Brendan Eagan of Orcas Island, and sister to Deborah Robinson of Vashon Island - passed too soon from this world on July 27, 2014 after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. Growing up in Covina, California, Laura’s love of art and creativity was nurtured early on by her mother and family. Her magical childhood was filled with barefoot wonder, a passion for riding and showing horses, creating works in a wide variety of medium, and playing in the “fairy garden” outside of Santa Barbara. Laura found her way to Orcas in 1975 and began her career as a sign-painter and graphic artist making a steady impression on the island. Reminiscences of creations made in an old farm-house overlooking Westsound, of spectacular signs, gold leaf, ceiling murals, and scrolling letters, live on today. She married Terrance Eagan and together they had children Oceania and Brendan Eagan. As life and relationships changed, Laura continued to fearlessly create and earn her living through her works of art. Whether it be chain sawing a house in half to move it to Deer Harbor, giving new life to a property neglected and overgrown, or laboring over the many artworks she created for island businesses, she had a willingness to show her heart and soul in all that she did. Rara, as she was named by her grandchildren, cherished nothing more deeply than her family. She poured her heart into the time she was able to spend with her grandchildren while living with her daughter and son-in-law, Chaz Welsh, over the past 8 years. Forever to be held dear is the beauty that she created with her sister Deborah. Witnessing and contributing to the love and magic of Brendan’s marriage to Lulu McNett was a recent high point in Laura’s life. She leaves us with ever-lasting memories and beautiful relics in which her spirit will continue to shine through. Laura had an amazing ability to surpass expectations with her inner drive. Undaunted by the difficulties she encountered she was proud to leave all in awe, bringing new life to the old and exceptional beauty to the new. She has passed that ability onto her children as well as her grandchildren, bestowing to the clan a gift that will keep giving for many lifetimes. “We fix things!” Laura’s presence is also missed by her son in-law, Chaz, grandchildren Carlo, Nico and Theo, daughter in-law Lulu, a large extended family, and many others blessed to have called her a friend. In tribute to Laura: Give love to your family, have faith that your hard work will bring rewards, water your plants, take care of your old house and surround yourself with beauty!!

To honor the beauty that Laura created, select works will be on display. Additionally, the family is creating a book to collect memories from all that she touched. Memories, musings and thoughts can be shared at the reception. Alternatively you may send memories and thoughts via email. For contributions of artwork and relics or financial donations, please reach out directly to Oceania at OCEANIA @ BLINDTIGERDESIGN . COM - or - Brendan Eagan at 376-3839

FILM FROM 1

sunrise to sunset by filmmaker Nell Carden Grey. A wide range of images from around the archipelago are set together in split screens to create moving diptychs and triptychs, heightening relationships between the color, form, motion, and pattern of disparate scenes. Grey is a CubanAmerican filmmaker who grew up in the South but now calls the Northwest home. She co-produced the feature documentary “The Chances of the World Changing,” was videographer and editor on “The Voices from the Rwanda Tribunal” project, and is currently editing the documentary “Coal Ash Chronicles.” “Perhaps islanders on Orcas connect so deeply to cinema because it is a place that stimulates the senses whether it be sight, sound, taste, smell or touch,” Spence said. “The beauty

of Orcas is in all of them. Orcas is also lucky to have communal places where we can watch films together on a regular basis.”

branch’s journey includes both frighting and graceful experiences, and it ultimately finds itself welcomed back home at its origin after years of “drifting.” Its creators are Travis Alley, Aaron Wheetman and Dallas Artz, all of Seattle. “A Reverence For Excellence” is an intimate and honest portrait of Maple Rock Farm and Hogstone’s Wood Oven. Filmed over the course of one day, we see the patience, commitment and toil required of the necessarily idealistic and romantic occupations of the farmer and chef. Its director is Andrew Plotsky, who lives near the Columbia River Gorge. “All These Waters Lie Within” is an experimental observational documentary that tracks daylight around the San Juan Islands from

The Steve Braun Memorial Triathlon was held on Aug. 31 in Moran State Park. Mark Drangsholt came in first (pictured at right) followed by his brother Ross Drangsholt in second. In third place was Keri Fezzey, the first woman to finish. The Drangsholts celebrated 10 years of participation in the triathlon. They don’t win every year but they come to Orcas each summer. “There are really a core group of visitors, part-time residents and locals who participate each year,” said Michel Vekved of Friends of Moran, which sponsors the event.

Zoerb returns to work Lopez Island journeyman lineman Kevin Zoerb has returned to work following an arduous journey of surgeries and healing for injuries he received when coming into contact with a high voltage line in September 2013. Dubbed the “Miracle Man” at Harborview Medical Center, Kevin has made a remarkable recovery.

Baby orca born

The Center for Whale Research is celebrating the birth of an orca calf in the Salish Sea, the first one since 2012. The mother is 23-year-old L86, and this is her second calf. The newborn is designated as L120.

“We are thrilled to welcome Kevin back to work,” said Foster Hildreth, general manager. “Kevin is a veteran lineman; he and his family are important members of the OPALCO family.” A “Zoerb Family Fund” has been set up at Islanders Bank to help with expenses. Donations to the fund can be made through any Islanders Bank branch. The OPALCO board has committed $3,000 to the fund and would like to invite members to make donations in order to meet the family’s needs over the coming months.

“We expect to see him back in full force within a year. OPALCO’s safety program will provide additional training opportunities to make sure this type of accident never happens again and to ensure the safety and confidence of all of our operations staff,” say OPALCO staff. A formal investigation of the accident is underway. A community barbecue is scheduled on Friday, Oct. 3 from 12 – 3 p.m. at the Lopez Crew Station. Hamburgers and hot dogs will be provided.

here seems to be two periods in my life: the one before I met Adia and the one after. For almost two years I have been an unofficial mentor to Adia Dolan, a vibrant, talented and now 16-year-old overall superstar, whether it comes to soccer or theater or enjoying life in general. When people asked me how I came into Adia’s life, “I say, ‘I didn’t have a choice – she chose me.’” After meeting on the set of “Oliver” at Orcas Center in 2013, it was clear that Adia and I would have a beautiful friendship. I’m not the only person who has been lucky enough to be chosen. She has a host of people guiding her from her father to many friends and islanders who have known her since she was a little girl. After her mother died five years ago, figures like her official mentor, Suzanne Olson, became even more critical to Adia’s life. For a story on Suzanne and Adia’s latest experience together, see page two. As her mentor, or as she calls me her “sister figure,” I have learned some hard lessons such as how to set boundaries and how to make time for calamities that one cannot predict – like the terrifying moment when Adia showed up at my office after being bumped by a car. She came away with only a few scratches, but it was a reminder of how unsafe the world can be. Last week when we ran a story about Cooper Rankin, another exceptional young member of our community, I thought of the importance of having strong and healthy influences on students on this island. I often hear people say, “It takes an island to raise a child,” and I belive it’s true. What is even more valuable is that when we invest in others, especially younger others, we invest in ourselves and grow as people. Despite all the growing pains we have experienced together, most of the time Adia and I just have fun. Whether I’m watching her fierceness on the soccer field, having a quick chat when she comes by the office or taking a lovely hike and listening as she breaks into song, it’s always a bit of an adventure. One way to get involved in your own adventure is to be a part of the Funhouse Mentor Program. According to the Funhouse staff, the Mentor Program is perhaps the most important thing they do. Email emilie@thefunhouse.org to find out how you can become a mentor. – Cali Bagby

Thank you for help with family auction I am so grateful to everybody who helped with the August 30 auction, “An Orcas Family: 130 Years and Counting.” You know who you are and if I ever get around to writing and mailing the thankyou notes (already addressed!), it will be but small recompense for all your hard work and altruism, both in planning, doing and buying. Because there is still interest in purchasing a few of the auction items that didn’t meet their reserve prices, I’m unable to state the final figure raised at the auction, but I know from the tickets sold and the proceeds that evening that it will be close to $14,000 after expenditures for the dinner, advertising and printing. More importantly, the auction got us all (including myself) talking and thinking about the possibility of a senior campus on Orcas that would include facilities for independent living, assisted living and skilled-nursing, along with a day-care operation for staffers’ children.

James Stanley to play in concert I’m excited to let everyone know that James Lee Stanley is finally coming back to Orcas for a concert. James was supposed to come in June of last year. His back went out and he ended up flat on it instead of jumping on a plane. So on Thursday, September 18, at 7:30 p.m. James will be at the Odd Fellows Hall to do this longawaited concert! I met James playing at a folk music festival in New Jersey. I was blown away by his musicianship. He plays guitar as if the instrument is a living, pulsing appendage attached to his body. He makes it sound like an orchestra with no apparent effort. James instinctively knows how to make a song sound special. In addition to being a consummate musician, he has an unusually entertaining rapport with his audiences. We became friends. James pro-

Making a difference with Hearts and Hands by DIDIER GINCIG

Special to the Sounder

When Betty Eagan began living on Orcas full-time, she immediately was very sick. “The reason I called Hearts and Hands is that I was very weak that winter and needed someone to help me once in a while. And I needed some companionship,” Betty recalls. Meanwhile, Sue Moorish, who had also recently moved to the island, saw a story in the paper that would change her life. There was an informational orientation about volunteering to make a difference in the lives of seniors. Sue attended and was matched with Betty. Several years later, they are close friends. “It’s not so much the help as the companionship that I look forward to,” says Betty, who will be celebrating her 90th birthday. Sue and Betty get together once a week. Sometimes they have a plan, and sometimes they just sit and chat. Betty enthusiastically shares, “We play cards, garden together, knit, share recipes, and enjoy each other’s company.” They both light up with a big smile at the mention of the raspberries they share. Sometimes Sue helps Betty with computer issues. “I look forward to Wednesday afternoons to see what we’re going to get into. Betty’s a big part of my life. Because of my connection with Betty, I have made wonderful connections on the island, and it’s great to know her family,” Sue said. Hearts and Hands matches volunteers with seniors and people with disabilities to meet once a week for an hour or two. Sue suggests to anyone who may be thinking of volunteering with Hearts and Hands, “You can meet with your match at their home or at a neutral location and see how it goes. You can make it a light commitment at first and change your mind if you need to.” “We’ll be friends for life, no matter what,” Sue says as she

SCHOOL FROM 1 tion building. Building 200, also known as the old library will be used as the new middle school with new classrooms, small group rooms and an office. This space is estimated to be to completed before Christmas. The musical addition will contain new storage, three practice rooms and a workroom. The CTE structure will get three classrooms, garage doors, a kiln room and storage space. A permanent modular structure will be established behind the existing administration building and will be used as a temporary library for the year. “The modular is for flexibility for future programs that the school wants to support,” said LeRoy. In March, LeRoy told

the Sounder that the school board was working to reduce the $7.5 million construction component of the bond by a couple of hundred thousand dollars. LeRoy said changes were successfully made. “We reduced the disturbed area and streamlined the phases to give the contractor easier access to the construction area,” she said. Basically they kept all the same plans but re-framed their approach to these projects. For instance, there will no longer be any upgrades to the administration building. Another big change is that the contractor will have access to the school cafeteria for several months. “Everyone will have to be creative about the way they use space,” LeRoy said.

Sue Moorish (at left) and Betty Eagan have developed a strong friendship through Hearts and Hands. gleams a big smile at Betty who laughs aloud. “If I hadn’t seen that article in the paper, I would never have met her.” As I left our meeting, I noticed their joy provided me with additional enthusiasm to recruit volunteers who would like to make a difference in someone’s life.

Born on April 2, 1929 in Boston, Mass., she was the daughter of the late Clarence and Lauretta (Dolliver) Blake. She met her husband Lawrence (Larry) on a young adult ski trip. They were married on June 3, 1950 in Winchester, Mass. In 1959, Priscilla was introduced to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by long-time friend Ellen Bates. She and Larry were baptized November 28, 1959. On July 3, 1962 they were sealed in the Logan Utah Temple. While a full-time mom with five children at home, Priscilla received a Bachelor

Ignoring aging OPALCO youth earn top honors at annual leadership camp won’t make it go away by LIZ TAYLOR

If you want to learn mountain climbing, you won’t start with Mount Everest. If you yearn to become a great cook, I doubt you’ll begin by hosting a huge dinner party. For all things that are complicated and worth knowing, it takes time, education, practice and patience to learn the tricks, absorb the subtleties and understand what’s really involved. So it’s funny that most of us don’t think about the complicated, expensive, emotional and important phenomenon of our own aging. Put another way: just about everybody thinks everyone else is getting older, except themselves. It’s always the other guy! You’re getting old, but I’m not. Poor health or simple frailty can make aging a vastly different story, and few of us prepare ahead of time. It’s not fun to think about becoming sick (physically or cognitively, or both). But not thinking about it — and not putting into place the systems that will protect us — won’t make it go away. It just leaves us vulnerable, with fewer options and, often, very little control over what happens. Chances are good that most of us will live a long time. People 85 and over are the fastest-growing segment of the US population; those over 100 are increasing dramatically. Seventy percent of us are expected to require assistance before we die. Some will need help a few hours a week, others 24/7. We can’t predict. Like anything complicated, aging well takes planning. The ideal age to begin is in your early 50s when you’re not in a crisis and can take your time. However, it’s not too late in your 90s. The trick is to do it before calamity falls on your head like a ton of bricks. Here are five essential, basic questions: 1. Are your Advance Directives in place, naming people you trust (and live near by) who are able to watch out for your health and finances when you can’t? 2. Do you live in a home that allows you to live independently if you can’t handle stairs or lose your vision? 3. How will you get groceries if you can no longer drive? 4. Who will care for you when you need assistance? 5. How will you pay for your care when family and friends can’t? Planning for your aging can be surprisingly fun and interesting. The more you know, the more you’ll see how interconnected the pieces are. None of us ever has total control over our lives, but there are things we can do while we’re healthy that will protect our interests when we’re not. Once you start, you’ll look at the world differently. This October, I will offer an introductory workshop through the Lopez Island Family Center on planning for your aging. If there’s enough interest, I’ll do others on specific topics in subsequent months. Watch the Islands’ Calendar, Lopez Rocks and the Family Center’s Class schedule for details. Liz Taylor has worked in the aging field for almost 40 years. You can reach her at lizt@agingdeliberately.com.

Five Nourdine Jensen Cooperative Youth Scholars selected by OPALCO attended the 2014 Idaho Consumer-Owned Utility Association Co-op Youth Rally at the College of Idaho this summer. Each made their mark on the regional youth leadership camp and each made the co-op proud. The students selected as OPALCO’s 2014 award winners were Gabi Carver-Hackett, William Coe, Peter Kamin and Willow Paige – all of Orcas Island. Maya Burt-Kidwell (Orcas) returned as a Youth Director at the Rally. In addition to the $500 scholarship awards received from OPALCO, Peter Kamin was awarded the top ICUA scholarship of $500 and William Coe was awarded a $300 ICUA scholarship. Maya Burt-Kidwell earned the top second-year ICUA scholarship ($600). William was elected by his peers at the rally to return as a youth director in 2014, which includes a trip to Boise in March to plan the Rally. The students participated in forums with regional leaders from the power industry, learned the basics of electricity and how coops work from the grassroots up, worked through a simulation of the challenges of serving (and trying to get re-elected) as a freshman Congressman – and then put their knowledge to work in team building exercises and games. The classroom time was balanced with fun summer camp activities such as bowling, roller-skating, social dances and a day at a water park.

Garlic mustard is a flowering herb that was introduced to North America from Europe as a food and medicinal plant. Although edible for humans, it is not eaten by local wildlife or insects. It is a fast-growing, damaging invasive that once established is difficult to eradicate. It is a biennial or winter annual herb that spreads prolifically by seed. It can cross-pollinate or self-pollinate and quickly out-competes native vegetation. Garlic mustard grows well under many different conditions and has the ability to produce chemicals that inhibit the growth of other plants and mychorrizal fungi needed for healthy tree seedling survival and tree growth. Garlic mustard is a Class A noxious weed with a limited distribution in Washington, and eradication is required state-wide. It is also on the Washington quarantine or prohibited plants list and is prohibited to transport, buy, sell, offer for sale or to distribute. It has been found overtaking a private garden near Eastsound on Orcas. First-year garlic mustard is a low growing rosette with rounded kidney shaped, scalloped edged leaves. Garlic mustard looks

similar in appearance to the non-native and common nipplewort, (Lapsana communis), however garlic mustard leaves are not fuzzy or hairy like nipplewort. Second-year plants typically grow to three feet tall, but can be a few inches to over six feet tall. The upper leaves on each stem become more triangular and smaller toward the top of the plant. They are coarsely toothed, and often smell like garlic when crushed. The flowers are small and white with four petals and appear in early spring in clusters at the top of the stem. Plants are usually single stemmed but if crushed or cut they will develop multiple stems. Roots typically have a characteristic S-shaped bend. First-year rosettes are usually noted in mid summer through the follow-

ing spring, and then the plant bolts into the upright mature stage in late April though May. Seed production rapidly follows. Since garlic mustard can tolerate a wide range of light, soil, moisture and terrain conditions, it can be found anywhere. Seeds are small and easily spread by animals, people, vehicles and also by water, birds and other vectors. Seeds can last in the soil for up to 10 years. Control is very difficult so identification is most important so that the plants can be removed before established and infestations can be prevented. Handpulling plants is effective if the entire root is removed. If plants are flowering or seeding, they must be bagged and discarded in the garbage. Care must be taken to clean clothing, shoes and tools to avoid carrying the seeds to new sites. After pulling, it may help to cover dense infestations of garlic mustard with wood chip mulch to reduce germination of seeds left behind. Infested sites should then be monitored closely for new plants. If you suspect you have found garlic mustard, call the SJC Noxious Weed Board at 376-3499. Photos are from King County Noxious Weed Board.

Long-time employee of Sound Publishing passes Port Orchard Independent staff, Sound Publishing employees and the South Kitsap business community were shocked to hear about the death of former Port Orchard Independent associate publisher Lorraine May. May, 61, died Aug. 31 at her home in Bremerton, according to Sound Publishing Vice President Lori Maxim. May had been battling lung cancer and retired as associate publisher in June.

“Lorraine was a dear friend and an amazing person who touched the lives of many,” Maxim said. “She gave her time to friends, co-workers and the community. She was a lovely warm person who will be greatly missed.” According to Maxim, May worked in several different roles with Sound after she was hired in February 1998, including account representative, national sales, and director of sales training.

Freshman Lady Viking soccer coach Chris Doherty takes the reins of a young but focused team and is enjoying the challenge. Following the footsteps of retired and highly respected coach Chama Anderson, Doherty appreciates inheriting “a great bunch of girls with good talent.” Transitioning from 10 years of coaching middle school, Doherty reflects on the switch to high school. “It's been totally different. They work hard and know what they have to do,” he said. “I think I am winning them over a bit. Every couple of days I get a few smiles.” As far as the prospects for the season, Doherty is very optimistic. “I am looking forward to having a great team. They have a really strong heart, they work together and they really want to be a team,” he said.

Matt Stolmeier enters his ninth year coaching the boys Viking soccer team and has a strong group of 15 returning players to take on a restructured league that now includes Friday Harbor. “We haven't played Friday Harbor at all since I have coached,” he said. “It's been about 10 years, so I am really excited to play them. Friday Harbor is just coming off their spring season, so they should be on their game. I am not sure if football will affect their numbers, but it's going to be fun to have all three islands playing each other again.” Stolmeier is confident that his core group of experienced players with only two seniors will be able to utilize their strengths of speed, possession, ball skill and playing as a team to be very competitive this season.

First year coach Justin Frausto takes control of one of the smaller Viking football teams in recent memory with only 15 to 16 players but remains very excited for the season. As a Viking assistant coach last year and a previous Kings coach, Frausto has known the team and most of the players for years. Frausto’s expectations this year are simple: “Playoffs. We want to make the playoffs every year.” But he acknowledges the team will have to overcome low numbers, which will be tough. Instead, Frausto will focus on the experience and leadership on the team. “We have a bunch of great kids, great senior leadership and the kids we do have a lot of experience,” he said. In previous years, the Vikings played Friday Harbor just once a season in a non-league game called the Island Cup, with Friday Harbor dominating the last few years. The Vikings lost this past weekend, 57-19. But, Frausto says, “We are going back to the old days. We play Friday Harbor twice with the new league along with the other league teams twice. It will be fun.”

by MARTY ZIER Sports contributor

Gregg Sasan continues as coach of the Lady Vikings volleyball team and faces a double challenge of low numbers and a stronger league that now includes the Wolverines from Friday Harbor. The Vikings played Friday Harbor in the past, but only one of the two games played counted as a league game whereas this year both games will be league. Asked about the team this season, Sasan said, “I am not sure yet. We only had 14 come out this year compared to 22 last year. I am still working that out. We’ll work hard and get through it. We are just getting smaller class sizes, which is why Friday Harbor is now in our league, they have smaller numbers too.” Despite the low turnout, Sasan does have a handful of returning players with experience, which he will need against league powers Darrington, LaConner and Friday Harbor.

High school athletes will now be able to try a new sport: cross-country running. The team is recruiting members to join Keenan and Daniel O’Brien and Rowan Lister. They will be meeting four days a week for training in Moran State Park and Eastsound with varied workouts, including runs of three to four miles during each training session.

Kevin O’Brien has helped organize the new team and hopes to be the coach. He plans to enlist the help of Dennis Dahl, Randy Gaylord and the Orcas Island Running Club. “We are going to get a lot of help from the running community,” he said. Meets will be held off-island but as the program grows, they hope to host meets at Orcas School. “This is a building year,” Kevin said. “This is good for kids who prefer an individual sport. I am super excited.”

Christian School debuts volleyball team

Orcas Christian School is excited to debut its first WIAA women’s high school volleyball team in 2014. Coach Breezy Davis, who also serves as OCS Athletic Director, brings years of high-level volleyball experience to OCS, having coached volleyball at Walla Walla Valley Academy and playing collegiately at Walla Walla University. Davis played four years of collegiate volleyball at WWU where she was a 2-year Captain and played for the USCAA National Championships in 2005. “I’m very excited about getting our girls involved in the great game of volleyball,” said Davis. “This is a group of girls that have

come together to form the first OCS Saints volleyball program. It is a group with different skill levels, but the same excitement for OCS Athletics.” Orcas Christian School’s

Athletic Department focuses on Christ-centered, character driven educational athletics. For game times and schedule updates, visit www.oics.org or call 3766683.

The event is the primary fundraiser for the Lopez Center for Community and the Arts and last year raised more than $20,000 which is more than 10 percent of the center’s budget.

Friends of Orcas Library to host annual meeting The Friends of the Orcas Island Library invite the public to their annual meeting Sunday, Sept. 21 at the Public Library. The meeting will commence at 1 p.m. in the library meeting room. A recap of the past year and a Thank You to the community for their continued support in making the year another active and exciting one for the friends.

coffee, tea and a decadent array of chocolates. The Friends annual meeting followed by the Crossroads lecture should make for an informative and enjoyable Sunday afternoon.

Sucia Island work party was a big success Friends of the San Juans wishes to thank the 29 volunteers from Orcas, Lopez, San Juan, and Shaw Islands as well as LUSH Seattle store volunteers who participated in a shoreline work party at Fossil Bay on Sucia Island. Following a beautiful boat ride to Sucia and an overview of the value of beaches to surf smelt and salmon, everyone got right to work clearing litter from over a mile of beach; conducting five surf smelt egg surveys and removing rock from 1,500 square feet of surf smelt spawning habitat. Fossil Bay beach is one of the latest identified as a smelt spawning beach in San Juan County. FRIENDS and Washington State Parks are working together to develop multiple shoreline projects on Sucia Island including: improving fish passage by reconnecting a salt marsh to the marine environment, unburying beach habitat at a newly documented surf smelt spawning beach and educating visitors on the important role Sucia’s shorelines play in supporting marine food webs for seabirds, salmon, and orca. For more information on forage fish or FRIENDS restoration programs and volunteer opportunities for 2014/2015 contact FRIENDS at tina@sanjuans.org or 3782319.

Blankenship finalist for business award

The Women Business Owners, one of tPuget Sound’s leading organization for women entrepreneurs, has named Eastsound business owner Jill Blankenship as one of five finalists for the 2014 Nellie Cashman Woman Business Owner of the Year Awards Competition (‘The Nellie’). Since 1982, The Nellie has recognized and honored Puget Sound region women business owners who have enhanced the status of community. To qualify, a nominee must own at least 51 percent of her business and have owned it for five years or more. She must also have demonstrated community commitment, financial and management skills, and have taken the difficult risk to achieve her success. The 2014 Nellie winner will be announced at a gala awards banquet on Thursday, Oct. 2 at the Four Seasons Seattle. Tickets are available at: https://womenbusinessowners.org/events/

nellie-cashman-womanbusiness-owner-of-theyear-award-gala/. As CEO of Frontline Call Center, Blankenship moved to Orcas Island in 1998 and recognized its economic dependency as a tourist destination. She created Frontline Call Center as a response to the need for steady year-round islandbased employment. In addition to the call center, she has been an active member of the San Juan County community for 14 years serving in various community lead-

ership positions including the Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce and the San Juan County Economic Development Council. Her passion for helping others led her to be the philanthropist behind Orcas Angels, whose mission is to serve the economic needs of island citizens and develop partnerships with other charities, thus meeting needs that aren’t met by traditional state and government resources. “Being named a finalist for the Nellie Cashman Awards has allowed me to meet some amazing women whom I truly admire and from whom I’ve learned so much,” said Blankenship. “The personal growth that I have achieved and the opportunity to share this experience with my peers is a reward that I will cherish. I have gained experience in networking, communication and business processes, and with each event I have left with knowledge that has positively impacted my business.”

She will have peonies for sale at the meeting. New members are welcome and may join the Garden Club at any meeting. It is $20 per year, $25 for couples.

OPAL Gala celebrates 25 years Rena Patty joins cancer support and 100 affordable houses Contributed photo

Contributing artists include from left B. J. Arnold (seated), Penny Sharp Sky, Frank Loudin, Michelle Reed, Andrea Cohen and Carla Stanley. Other artists decorating houses for the event were JoEllen Moldoff, Laurie O’Keefe, Anne Pedersen, Amanda Sparks, Deborah Sparks, Marcia Spees and Kathy Youngren.

OPAL’s upcoming annual benefit dinner on Saturday, September 20, at Orcas Center will be a grand celebration of milestones. “We’re not only celebrating OPAL’s first 25 years,” said trustee and event chair Helen Bee, “but we’re also applauding the vision and generosity of this remarkable community in creating affordable neighborhoods and apartments so islanders have stable places to live.” The gala evening will begin with wine and hors d’oeuvres at 5:30 p.m.

Dinner, prepared by Chef Mary Russell of the Orcas Village Store, will be followed by improvisational theater and storytelling by actors and a musician from Seattle’s popular Threshold Ensemble, who have entertained Orcas audiences before. “The story of OPAL is really the story of people’s lives and the life of this community,” said Bee. “We hope everyone who attends comes away with a very real sense of connection and accomplishment.” OPAL Executive Director Lisa Byers

will share some of the community land trust’s future plans. A bevy of scrumptious desserts by island bakers will be auctioned, and diners will have a chance to raise a paddle in support of OPAL’s next 25 years. Sponsoring the event are CenturyLink, Orcas Excavators, Islanders Bank, Nickel Bros., San Juan Propane, Island Market, San Juan Insurance, Hart Pacific Engineering, Island Hardware and Supply, Dr. Steven Bailey and Orcas Auto Tech. Tickets are available online at www. opalclt.org/news/events or by contacting the OPAL office at 376-3191. The cost is $125 per person.

Stormwater Project open houses With fall approaching San Juan County once again looks toward the rainy season. Last year the season started with a shockingly large storm event that overwhelmed our Eastsound storm sewer system. With that memory almost one year behind us the Stormwater Utility is moving into the final phase of County wide stormwater management planning. The County’s Stormwater project has completed Volume 1 of the County Stormwater plan which describes the nature of 37 drainage basins in terms of the geology, hydrology, current land use and potential development. Based on that information Volume 1 makes some broad suggestion for how to manage stormwater. These range from developing more detailed plans in focus basins including Eastsound and Lopez

Village to utilizing the treatment capacity available in existing ecological system such as wetlands, ponds and ditches. More specifics regarding these and other recommendations are presented in the recommendations section of Volume 1. What does that mean for you and the planning process? Take a look at report and recommendations on the county web site and then come to one or more of the open house events scheduled during the week of Sept. 15. You will have an opportunity to ask questions of and suggest favorable options to the managers, scientists, citizens and engineers that are working on this plan. Stormwater planners will also be unveiling the top 20 list of capital projects. These are the projects that will be presented to the Citizens Stormwater

Check out our green editions,

www.islandssounder.com

Advisory Committee for final ranking and eventual construction. This list was developed based on the results of Volume 1, existing drainage plans and issues reported through the stormwater issue website that was available to citizens earlier this year. Open House Event Schedule:

• Monday, Sept. 15: San Juan, 915 Spring Street, 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. • Tuesday, Sept. 16: Orcas Fire Hall, 45 Lavender Lane, 11:30 to 1 p.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. • Thursday, Sept. 18: Lopez, Woodmen Hall, 4 to 6:30 p.m.

The Cancer Support Group welcomes Rena Patty as guest facilitator for its Sept. 11 meeting. Patty is a life-long resident of Orcas Island and a certified trainer with Center for Nonviolent Communication. Empathic listening and honest expression are core practices of Nonviolent Communication. She will lead interactive conversation and role-plays to develop our understanding of important communication skills. What is empathy? How can we listen in ways that open trust and closeness? They’ll explore how quality of communication and connection is essential to quality of life. The Cancer Support Group will meet on Thursday, Sept. 11 in the Fireside Room of Orcas Island Community Church at 5 p.m. Everyone touched by cancer, whether personally or by someone close to you, is encouraged to attend. For more info call Bogdan or Carol at 376-4198.

Sell it for free in the FLEA theflea@soundpublishing.com NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
