A new sheriff in town Ron Krebs beats incumbent Rob Nou by a landslide

by SCOTT RASMUSSEN Journal editor

Elections are often about change. San Juan County voters demonstrated an overwhelming eagerness for it in the administration of their sheriff ’s office. In a first-ever bid for public office, deputy Ron Krebs gained an insurmountable lead on election night and, after the ballotcounting dust had settled, earned a four-year term at the top of the county’s most visible law enforcement agency with a runaway win in a hotly contested sheriff ’s race. Krebs, an eight-year veteran of the force and former deputy guild president, amassed 4,736 of 7,393 votes cast in the 2014 sheriff ’s contest, a 64 percent margin of victory. The sheriff-elect proved a hot commodity even before final results were tallied. “My phone literally exploded,” Krebs said. “I’ve gotten a lot of calls from a lot of different department heads, like the prosecutor and auditor, and I’ll be meeting with all of them as soon as we can. There’s a transition that needs to take place.” The sheriff-elect will be sworn into office at the beginning of the new year, along with the winners of all other local races. He will be joined by the winners of the only two other contested county races,

Joan White, reelected to a third term as county clerk, and firsttime public office seeker and now treasurer-elect Rhonda Pederson. The 47-year-old Krebs will inherit a department of about 35 employees and a yearly budget of $4.9 million, including $2.7 million for department operations, $1 million for dispatch, $800,00 for emergency management and nearly $400,000 earmarked for jail expenses. At full staffing, the department consists of 21 deputies, detectives and field corrections officers, nine dispatch employees and four other employees. A non-partisan position, the sheriff earns an annual salary of $103,595. From the outset, Krebs campaigned aggressively, pulling few punches and contending that a lack of leadership and communication by his opponent, Sheriff Rob Nou, had led to sagging morale within departmental ranks. An unprecedented and near unanimous endorsement of his election bid by the deputy’s guild appeared to bolster the planks of the Krebs’ campaign. Although a relative newcomer to law enforcement at the local level, Krebs maintains that his leadership and administrative skills, honed in private industry (he’s a former senior manager for Les Schwab) and as a deputy and emergency first-responder, will

translate well into managing the sheriff ’s department. “Leadership is leadership and administration is administration regardless of the field you’re in,” he said. “It’s the same no matter where you are. In business, it’s about your customers. At the sheriff ’s office, we’re here to serve the public.” Results of the 2014 election signal a reversal of fortune in just four years time for first-term incumbent Rob Nou. In 2010, he drew 66 percent of the vote to become San Juan County’s first new sheriff in more than two decades, succeeding Bill Cumming. Nou came into the 2014 campaign carrying a long list of law enforcement credentials. A graduate of the FBI academy, he joined the sheriff ’s department in 2008 as a Lopez Island-based deputy and with 33 years of law enforcement experience in tow, including four years as police chief in Burns, Ore., and long tenure as an administrative sergeant in Oregon’s Yamhill County. In his reelection bid, however, he came into the campaign with a record to run on, or to run against (Nou, reportedly on vacation until early next week, was unavailable for comment). Although Krebs won in a landslide, not all voters showed an eagerness for change. Nou outpolled his opponent in landslide-

like numbers in his former backyard. Voters in Lopez Island’s two precincts preferred reelection of the incumbent by a combined total of 1,066 to 239 votes. With a first-ever election win in hand and two months in which to prepare to take the helm, Krebs cited communication as key to a smooth transition and in upholding promises made on the campaign trail. “It’ll be more of an informa-

San Juan County election results San Juan County voters have approved a renewal of the Proposition 1 levy lid lift. The renewal will end in 2020 and produce the same amount of revenue as the current levy, which is set to expire in 2015. The measure earned 61.74 percent and 4,732 yes votes out of 7,664 total. The levy is 18 cents per $1,000 assessed value. The amount generated is 20 percent of the county’s general fund property tax. The money will go toward senior services on all three major islands; Washington State University extension programs; operation of county parks; support for county fair; public health services on all three islands; work release program; victim services; emergency

management services; maintenance of county buildings and grounds and Islands’ Oil Spill Association equipment assistance. Orcas Island voters approved Orcas School

District’s facilities and technology modernization levy at 64.85 percent. The levy is for 2015 through 2020 to provide $500,000 for each of the six years for a total of three million dollars. The tax rate is expected to be 23 cents or less per $1,000 assessed value. In other election news, the following candidates won in contested positions: • Rick Larsen, Congressional District 2 U.S. Representative, 69.04 percent. • Kristine Lytton, District 40 State Representative Position 1, 70.21 percent. • Joan White, San Juan County Clerk, 68.4 percent. • Rhonda Peterson, San Juan County Treasurer, 55.21 percent.

70 years of Stitch & Gossip Chamber gives out awards

Stitch and Gossip Orcas 98280 just celebrated its 70th anniversary this year. They had an entry in the 4th of July Parade which received “Honorable Mention,” a display at the library set up by the current President Linda Armstrong and their October luncheon at the Orcas Hotel. The banner for the parade and luncheon was conceived and handmade by Armstrong. These events were to celebrate and honor 70 years of friendships, projects, raising money, luncheons and community service. The first meeting occurred on Oct. 4, 1944 and the group was called “The Victory Club.” It was organized by Orcas Red Cross volunteers. By 1947 with World War II over, they felt a new name was needed. Dora Cadden claimed since the ladies all stitched and gossiped, “Stitch and Gossip” would be an appropriate new name. About half of the present-day group still “stitch” and of course never gossip You are probably more familiar with Stitch buying the wreaths for the ferry landing and the Orcas Post Office, as well as decorating the landing for Christmas which they have been doing for many years. Stitch also raises money and distributes it to people in need or to different charitable organizations on the island. Mary Schoen is one of the oldest members in standing, having joined in 1951. The group has traditional luncheons every month except summer and offers friendship and fun to their members.

Vets honored at Flints go to D.C. for award ceremony Orcas School by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher

by CALI BAGBY Assistant editor

At the Orcas Island Elementary Veteran Appreciation Ceremony on Friday, Nov. 7 military service members were honored for their service. “As a wife of a veteran, thank you for your support of the troops,” said Elementary Principal Kathy Page, who has organized the event for the past two years. Five elementary students read letters to veterans, thanking them for their bravery and for protecting their families and freedom. The fifth and eighth grade choir sang and the Community Band played patriotic tunes. Tom Ritter, who joined the Navy in 1954, spoke about his family members that served in the Civil War, World War I and World War II. “One reason we feel so safe is that the military has suffered to keep us free,” he said. The ceremony comes at a pivotal time not just because Veterans Day was on Nov. 11 but because of the major pullout happening in key bases in Afghanistan. It remains unclear what will happen to the country that the U.S. has been at war with for 13 years. For these elementary children the larger picture of the war may not be clear, but it is evident that despite the unstable future of Afghanistan they view U.S. service members at the ultimate heroes.

When you're related to the first director of the Central Intelligence Agency, you get invited to cool events like award banquets in Washington, D.C. Orcas High School senior Melanie Flint and her father Norm traveled to the East Coast to see the Honorable Leon Panetta win the William J. Donovan award, an annual decoration given in honor of Melanie's greatgreat-uncle, Donovan, who is known as the “Father of Central Intelligence.” “I didn't really know what Donovan did – it was really more just sentimental, knowing he was part of our family … but then there are all these people who were excited to know who I am because of him,” Melanie said. Donovan was a United States soldier, lawyer, intelligence officer and diplomat. He is best remembered as the wartime head of the Office of Strategic Services, a precursor to the CIA, during World War II. Donovan is the only person to receive the nation’s four highest decorations: the Medal of Honor,

He is also a recipient of the Silver Star and the Purple Heart. The OSS Society presents the award to an individual who has rendered distinguished service to the United States. Its purpose is to recognize someone who has exemplified the distinguishing features that characterized Donovan’s lifetime of public service as a citizen and a soldier.

On Nov. 8, Orcas Island hosted its first TEDxOrcasIsland – a day-long conference featuring 15 speakers of diverse backgrounds, three musical performances and a theater full of engaged community members. It took place at Orcas Center with morning and afternoon programs bisected with an onsite lunch provided by the New Leaf Café.

Thatcher, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. This year's winner, Panetta, is a former director of the CIA and served as the 23rd Secretary of Defense. As director of the CIA, Panetta oversaw the U.S. military operation that led to Osama bin Laden’s death. Melanie and Norm traveled to Washington, D.C. at the end of October to be a part of the festivities. Christopher Pinck, president of the OSS Society, took Melanie and her dad to a “smaller” dinner the night before the awards banquet. “At first, it looked really small,” Melanie said. “Then I go through the door and there are nine tables with nine people at each one. There were a lot of really important people in that room.” The following evening,

she and her dad attended the black-tie awards ceremony at the Ritz Carlton. “It was the most unbelievable event I have ever attended in my life,” Norm said. More than 900 people were in attendance. The guest list included war veterans, retired spies, former CIA employees and government officials. Everyone enjoyed a meal of Julia Childs' most famous recipes and discussions that went on into the wee hours of the morning. “The banquet was a shock – all the people we had dinner with the night before were at the front of the room, giving toasts and making speeches,” Melanie said. “It was like being at a Seahawks game – everyone was talking and it was so loud. But I still had interesting conversations with the people around me.” Donovan passed away the same year that Norm was born, but his legacy lives on through the OSS Society and family stories. “Growing up, my grandmother was taught not to say his name,” Flint said about being related someone in the CIA. “But now, since it's been more than 50 years, we can talk about it.” The Flints plan to attend the banquet again next year. Melanie says the experience was incredible and a little strange. “It's an odd thing to have people applaud you for your heritage,” she said.

Reach out to a veteran before it’s too late

Share the warmth

met Sgt. Gil Frazier during the war in Afghanistan. I was an embedded journalist and he was a Marine. One of the reasons I am alive today is probably, in part, thanks to him. It was an unspoken rule that the Marines would give their lives to protect journalists. It was a rule that sometimes made reporters unwelcome as we represented another hassle in the chaos of battle. I could not blame them for this and did my best to take care of myself, but that in itself was a joke – without training or a weapon I was dead weight. But Gil took this extra baggage in stride and welcomed me into battle and shared with me many truths about the complications of the mission. He would have taken a bullet for me ... but I could Just a few months after I left Afghanistan on Dec. 3, 2010 not send my condolences Frazier was in a firefight with because I could not face enemy forces where Lance the past. I wanted to move Cpl. Lucas C. Scott, 20, of Peebles, OH was shot after forward not backwards. hours of fighting. When Scott could not breath, Frazier, according to a military website, performed an emergency tracheotomy while simultaneously directing his squad and air assets. With a casualty and almost out of ammo, Frazier pushed his squad to move the enemy out of the area. Unfortunately, Scott did not survive. For his actions that day, Gil was awarded the Vanguard Award from the Non-Commissioned Officer Association. He was also awarded both the Bronze Star and Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with combat distinguishing device. I wanted to reach out to Gil to tell him I was sorry and that I was thinking of him. He would have taken a bullet for me without a second thought, but I could not send my condolences because I could not face the past. I wanted to move forward not backwards. So when I heard the news that he had passed away from unknown reasons two weeks ago, I felt that sting of regret. My message would probably not have saved him or reversed his fate, but I would have found solace in the action. As Veterans Day is this week and another young man dies in the aftermath of the longest war fought in our nation’s history, I ask you to reach out to the service members you know. Take a minute to make a phone call or send an email because you never know when it may be too late. If you know of any veterans in our community who could use help, direct them to the American Legion or the Veterans Advisory board members. The Veterans Advisory Board provides emergency services to veterans in need, their children, widows widowers and/ or orphans. In 2007, the advisory board was formed and became in charge of distributing money from the Veterans Assistance Fund, which comes from San Juan County property taxes.

October usually encourages us to pull our sweaters, scarves and boots out of the back of the closet to meet the chill in the air. How many of you noticed that this year was different? There was a new warmth in the air all over the islands with the most heat radiating from Friday Harbor Espresso. That’s because owner Mark Brokman agreed to take the challenge to “Share the Warmth to Help Stop the Violence”. During the month of October, Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services of the San Juan Island challenged all of us to donate a quarter every time we enjoyed a warm drink. Everywhere, at home, work and play, the noisy sound of coins and the soft flutter of dollar bills could be heard dropping into cups, jars or “baggies” to save and send to DVSAS to help stop the violence and “Share the Warmth.” With an average of two cups a day for each of us, you can see how quickly the heat could rise and the violence could lessen. As just one coffee shop caring enough to “Share the Warmth,” Friday Harbor Espresso raised over $800 dollars! If you missed out on this warming experience, don’t despair. You can just estimate your average number of warm drinks a day times 25 cents and times that by 30 days and send your check to DVSAS at PO Box 3175, Friday Harbor WA 98250. Plan now to make each October the warmest month of the

The costumes, the music and the ambience was one of the best ever. I am sure, based on comments received afterwards, everyone had a great time.

EMS saved our dog When “Molly” (canine variety) came up missing and did not show for dinner as usual on Monday, a search was launched, however unsuccessfully. Her cries could be heard, but suddenly stopped and we all feared the worst. The following morning she was located having fallen about 30’ to the rocks below.

County crime briefs by SCOTT RASMUSSEN Journal Editor

$10K in restitution for blows to the face On the heels of serving a 15-month prison sentence for felony burglary, a San Juan Island man was ordered to pay $10,000 to a crime victims fund and serve out the remainder of a jail term on work crew after pleading no-contest to an unrelated crime, punching a man twice in the face. On Oct. 24, Travis James Webster, 27, pleaded nocontest in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of third-degree assault, a gross misdemeanor. He was ordered to pay $800 in fines and fees and $10,349 in restitution to the state crime victims fund. He was credited with having served part of a jail term, the rest of which he will be allowed to serve out on work crew. Prosecutors charged Webster in early August with one count of second-degree assault, a Class B felony, for striking a man of similar age in the face at a latenight gathering at a Blair Avenue apartment in May 2013. At the time the charge was filed he was nearing the end of a 15-month prison sentence for felony burglary. He pleaded no-contest to the lesser offense as part of a plea deal, according to court documents. By pleading no-contest, known as an Alford plea in Washington state, a defendant does not admit guilt

LETTERS FROM 4 White thank you Thank you, San Juan County for your vote of confidence. I am pleased and proud to continue to serve as your County Clerk. I enjoy my work and am dedicated to maintaining the reliability of the Superior Court records, as well as fulfilling all of my office’s statutory and mandated duties. The clerk’s office is always open to assist you. Look for the sign above our door with the little red airplane! Joan P. White County Clerk

to the crime of which he or she is charged, but acknowledges that if the case went to trial they would likely be convicted. According to court documents, Webster struck the man in the face over a $50 drug debt and with such force that the repeated blows broke the man’s jaw. His injuries required multiple surgeries to mend. The victim reportedly delayed notifying authorities about the assault for seven months for fear of retaliation. Webster, also known as Travis White, is one of two men convicted a year ago of breaking into the Friday Harbor apartment of an acquaintance in mid-July 2013. In pursuit of prescription drugs at the time, they both wore masks. They were identified by the couple whose apartment they broke into when an altercation involving all four broke out and the two would-be robbers were unmasked. The two then fled the scene. A year ago in November, Webster was sentenced to 15 months in prison after pleading guilty to felony burglary. His accomplice, Taiya Autumn Speed, was also sentenced to 15 months in prison.

Vincent Sing pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of possession of a controlled substance, methamphetamine, and was released on $10,000 bail pending trial, which is slated for Dec. 15. The 34-year-old was taken into custody on the morning of Oct. 19 outside the library in Eastsound, where he had reportedly fallen asleep. He was wanted by local authorities for failing to appear in court two weeks earlier in connection with the prior felony assault conviction at the time of his arrest. He was taken into custody without incident. According to prosecutors, Sing had several “baggies” containing methamphetamine in the front pocket of his jacket when deputies arrived at the library at 9

a.m. They reportedly found a case for sunglasses that contained glass pipes that were lined with residue. Sing served a four-month sentence after pleading guilty in August 2013 to one count each of felony assault and misdemeanor theft following a confronta-

tion in early July of that year with a grocery store worker over shoplifting. He reportedly pulled a knife on the employee, who followed him outside the store, threatened the man and then fled on foot. He was taken into custody a short time later after deputies found him hiding

in the brush at Crescent Beach. Three months ago he was ordered to serve a week in jail for failing to comply with court orders by undergoing a substance abuse evaluation. A warrant was issued for his arrest Sept. 26 for failing to appear in court.

National Community The miracle of Sookie, the cat who came back Foundation week by CALI BAGBY Assistant editor

Jennifer Wallace, Hilary Canty and Kate Long of the Orcas Island Community Foundation. by HILARY CANTY OICF Director

November 12-18 is designated National Community Foundation Week, and the Orcas Island Community Foundation has much to celebrate. OICF was founded 20 years ago to help strengthen the Orcas community by connecting peo-

ple and organizations who want to make a difference. Over the years, thousands of grants have been made to enhance education opportunities, encourage the arts, sustain social services and creatively address emerging community needs. OICF stewards nearly $7 million in designated and donor advised funds supporting

many programs and organizations that keep our community vital. In 2013, over $1 million in grants were distributed and OICF was recognized as one of the top 10 most active community foundations in the nation. This is a remarkable reflection of our community generosity. We give where we live. Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming Holiday Catalog, a great opportunity to continue your support of the many programs that keep Orcas vibrant. To learn more, visit www.oicf.us.

Last week, Keri and Ed Lago received a strange call. It was call that was confusing and then miraculous. The lady on the other line asked the Lagos if they were missing a cat. They said no, they were not, but the woman insisted that the cat had a microchip connecting the feline to their phone number. That is when Keri and Ed told her that they had lost a cat, but it had been four years ago. In 2000, they picked out a grey kitten at the Orcas Animal Shelter. After only a few months, the cat, named Sookie, went missing. “We thought maybe she was taken by an eagle or something,” Keri said. The Lagos’ three children were upset, but in the following years they all moved past it. After the unbelievable phone call came in, Keri decided they had to get their cat back. Plus the kids were excited by the news that Sookie was alive.

The only problem was that the woman had found Sookie at a campsite in central Oregon more than 360 miles away. “This was such an unexpected surprise for our family,” said Keri. “There were 101 reasons why we probably should not have gone to get her but something told me to go, so we did.” Keri, Ed and their daugh-

ter Alana all loaded into the car and made a weekend trip to Oregon. “We are so grateful to our new friends in Oregon and very happy to have her back,” said Keri, who is also grateful that the cat was microchipped and urges other people to make that investment with their pets. “She was meant to be in our family,” she said.

Orcas Island Education Foundation: working for the school Earlier this year, the Orcas Island Education Foundation celebrated its 30th anniversary. Even with 30 years under its belt, the impact of OIEF and its donors is not always visible to the community. With that in mind, the OIEF board would like to share with you what your generosity has brought to the public schools since the start of this academic year. One area of focus OIEF was hoping to impact this year was arts education. Like other school districts around the country, budget

challenges have forced cuts to art and music curriculum for our students. OIEF is pleased to announce two significant art programs its donors have funded this year. The first program is an extensive visual art sequence for students in the elementary school. This will bring four artists, a coordinator and supplies into the school so that all K-6 students will get a weekly art class for sixteen weeks. Seed money for the classes was provided by an Orcas Island Community Foundation “Partners in

Philanthropy” grant to Art for Orcas Kids, which is a committee of OIEF. We are pleased that the generosity of OIEF donors is helping to fund such a comprehensive program of creativity and art production for our elementary children. The second art program OIEF is subsidizing is a high school theater arts class. The course allows students to both learn about theater as literature, as well as participate in drama exercises at the Orcas Center. While the teacher is employed by

the school district, OIEF funded space at the Orcas Center and engaged the services of the talented Jake Perrine as the drama coach. OIEF thanks Jake, who has worked extra days to coach the students outside of his contracted hours, and the Orcas Center for reducing its usual rental rates for the class. According to Principal Kyle Freeman, “Student enrollment for this class exceeded our capacity. The kids are enjoying working with a theater coach and are excited to be working

on performances at the end of first and second semester. We thank OIEF for its support. The performance aspect of this class would not have happened without it.” Other than the arts, OIEF is excited to be supporting other great opportunities at our schools. Some examples are: the guitarmaking STEM class, the 6th grade trip to Nature Bridge/ Olympic Park Institute, a new debate club, books and supplies for classrooms and the library, as well as a commitment to send students

to the Math Olympiad this year. These are just some of the programs donors to OIEF have brought to the school…so far. The school year is still young. From the “Farm to Cafeteria” to the arts to math and science, OIEF would not exist without the generosity of our donors. On behalf of the board, our students, and staff – we thank you. To learn more about the Orcas Island Education Foundation, check out our website at oief.org.

Musicians at honor festival Nine musicians from Orcas High School’s Strings and Band Classes attended this year’s North Sound Honor Festival on Nov. 3. Presented by the San Juan Music Educators Association, the Festival hosted some of the top musicians (245 students from 16 northwest area high schools) at an all-day rehearsal, concluding with a concert by choir, orchestra and band at Blaine School’s 756-seat Performing Arts Center. When the conductors walked on stage at the Blaine Performing Arts Center, they spoke of their gratitude - for the music teachers who work with the students all during the school year, for the parents who support the students with their encouragement and attendance - but especially for the students who have practiced hard to get where they are. “Tonight, on this stage, we have musicians from 16 high schools all working together to produce a single work of art,” said the orchestra conductor. “Where else will you find that?” “Events such as this,” said the band conductor, “only happen once. It’s one day that will never be repeated in any of our lives. So I thank the educators for asking me to be a part of this special day.” Representing Orcas Island in the Senior Honor Orchestra were eight musicians from Pamela Wright’s High School Strings class: violinists Emy Carter, Michael Harlow, Emily Toombs and Paris Wilson, violists Michael Chesher and Zach Waage, cellist Wylie Kau and pianist Lisa Carter. Orcas

High School Teacher and pianist Beth Rainey also performed with the orchestra. The Orcas String students were full of praise for their dynamic guest conductor, Wesley Schulz. Schulz is the Conducting Fellow and assists Music Director Ludovic Morlot at the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. Schulz is also Music Director of the Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra, Seattle Festival Orchestra and the Bainbridge Island Youth Orchestra. The orchestra performed Bach’s instantly recognizable “The Little Fugue in G Minor,” “Andante Festivo” by Jean Sebelius, the familiar “Downton Abbey” theme by John Lunn, “Concerto Grosso No. 1 - Prelude” by Bloch and “Pictures of Puget Sound” by Silva. The latter work was commissioned by the conductor who said that this was only the second time the piece had been performed publicly. The Orcas music program was honored by the selection of violinist Paris Wilson as Section Principal in the second violin section for the 46-member orchestra. Congratulations also go to Orcas Strings Director Pamela Wright who served as the Festival’s Honor Orchestra Coordinator. Alto saxophonist Kaya Osborn from Darren Dix’s High School Band performed with the 100-member Senior Honor Band, conducted by Gerard Morris. Morris is Director of Bands and Assistant Professor at the University of Puget Sound School of Music. He has a Doctor of Music degree in conducting from Northwestern University.

The Honor Band performed the bold and fiery “American Fanfare” by John Wasson, which was originally composed for performance by the Dallas Brass. The program also included Andrew Boysen’s challenging “Unraveling,” “Sun Dance” by Frank Ticheli and the haunting “Symphonic Prelude” by Mark Camphouse honoring soldiers buried at the Normandy American Cemetery. A 101-member Honor Choir performed five selections, and they were quite amaz-

ing, according to Wright. “We did not have any Orcas choir students there this year,” she said. “But we are working on making that happen in the future.” The choir conductor was Timothy Black, a celebrated international music educator. Cellist Anthony Kaskurs and trombonist Kahana Pietsch were also selected for the festival, but were unable to attend.

Fall sports assembly

Holiday photos with pets

On Thursday, Nov. 13 the community is invited to attend Orcas Island High School’s Fall Sports Spirit Assembly that is taking place in the high school gym. It will start at 2:15 p.m. and is planned to be an entertaining afternoon of fun and games, with the girl’s soccer and volleyball and boy’s football and soccer teams performing choreographed “lip sync” performances.

Football season wraps up by MARTY ZIER Sports contributor

The Vikings (1-8) wrapped up their season with a loss last Thursday during the senior game against the (8-2) LaConner Braves, 53-20 at a windy Dahl Field. The Vikings’ lethargic offense initially stumbled with three fumbles after the opening kickoff as the Braves took advantage of the generosity and ramped up the score 19-0 by the end of the first quarter. LaConner opened the second quarter with a touchdown pass and run

stretching the score to 32-0, but Vikings’ offense awoke with spectacular moments against one of the best defenses in the league. The first Orcas score was a hand-off from quarterback Miles Harlow to running back Pasha Bullock who, faking a run and barely dodging a tackler, launched a 40-yard touchdown pass to Cameron Aragon, erupting the loyal crowd in applause. Harlow followed up the a two-point run. Later in the quarter, Harlow connected with Ivan Bullock for a touch-

down pass ending the first half 32-14. Aidan Kruse peeled off an 85-yard run in the third quarter, setting up the last Viking touchdown, a fouryard pass to Ricardo De Anda. “This was the last game for our two senior leaders, Joey Susol and Jay Zier,” said Coach Justin Frausto. “They will be missed. They had great leadership all year. We have some core players coming back next year. I would like to see twice as many players out for football next year. We are going to work hard in the off season and work in the weight room. I enjoyed coaching a great group of football players. We all learned a lot.”

Island pet owners are invited to a holiday pet photoshoot to benefit the Orcas OffLeash Area and Orcas Animal Shelter. The event is on Sunday, Nov. 23 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Orcas Animal Shelter, 84A Hope Lane, Eastsound. Follow signs for separate entrance for cats. No appointment necessary.

Orcas Islanders will tell their stories of survival at Random Howse Nov. 13 at 7 p.m. as part of the “Random Tales” series. Random Howse owner April Duke came up with the idea of “Random Tales” after listening to popular storytelling podcasts like “The Moth”, “This American Life” and “Snap Judgement.” “These shows with true stories go from the mundane to the tragic to the spectacular,” said Duke. “They encourage us or make us so grateful we didn’t have to experience that.” Storytellers for the upcoming event include Bob Friel who will share his shark

This reporter Cali Bagby will be sharing a story about my experience as an embedded journalist in Iraq and Afghanistan. Other storytellers include Jake Perrine, Susan Osborn, Suzanne Olson and Shaiyeda Silverwolf. “I think true stories are so much more interesting than fiction,” said Duke. “They make us realize that we are all experiencing this human life in different ways but also the same. They help us to understand each other much better than talking about the weather or sports or politics. They can bring a community together.”

“Sage Steppes: 800 Miles on the Oregon Desert Trail” (U.S., 2013, 9 minutes), by the Oregon Natural Desert Association, Wahoo Films. Join expert long-distance hiker Sage Clegg as she becomes the first person to journey for 800 miles across the newly created Oregon Desert Trail, from the center of the state to nearly the Idaho border. “My First Fish” (U.S., 2013, 7 minutes) by Ben Galland. A boy catches his first fish. After an epic battle, the boy has a chance to hold the fish and once they make eye contact, the memory is etched into the child’s brain, forever instilling a connection to the wild and the foundation for environmental stewardship. “From the Ground to the Clouds” (Tanzania, 2013, 8 minutes) by Denise Zmekhol. Fifty years ago Jane Goodall set out to study the wild chimpanzees of Tanzania with little more than a pair of second-hand binoculars, some pencils and a notebook. Now her team uses mobile devices, satellite imagery and cloudbased mapping technologies to create a comprehensive picture of the conservation

challenges in the Congo Basin. “ T h e N e w Environmentalists: Weaving A Movement” (U.S./ Indonesia, 2013, 4.5 minutes) by John Antonelli, Barry Schienberg and Todd Miro. When Indonesian marble mining companies began to exploit the pristine mountains surrounding her West Timor homeland, Mama Aleta Baun organized the villagers in a weaving protest that lasted months and received international recognition. “A Life Well Lived/Jim Whitaker” (U.S., 2013, 4 minutes) by Eric Becker.

Dog tags available soon Starting Monday, Nov. 17, San Juan County dog tags will be available to purchase. This year you can protect your dog with an orange bell. This simple protection will assure you of being reconnected with your dog if it gets lost. The county’s animal control database allows anyone to look up dog owners by dog tag number. If you find a dog, go to sanjuanco.com and type “dog license search.” Once you are on the dog license search page, type in the tag number. This will provide you with the dog’s name, owner’s contact numbers and vet’s name. If you have provided a photo of your dog to the database (for a $5 annual fee), someone who finds your dog will be able to verify that the dog they found is yours. All dogs in San Juan

County are required to be licensed. A share of the proceeds from the fees goes to the local Animal Protection Societies for their operations. Another portion is reserved for reimbursement of owners of livestock killed or damaged by dogs. The remainder goes into a county fund which pays the costs of the licensing program. The balance is divided between the animal shelters for impound services. Licenses are available at the following locations. San Juan: San Juan County Auditor’s Office, Harbor Veterinary and Animal Protection Society. Orcas: Pawki’s for Pets, Eastsound Kennels and Animal Protection Society. Lopez: Sunset Builders, Ark Veterinary and Animal Protection Society.

p.m. before the show on Thursday, Nov. 13 (free with a ticket to the 7:30 p.m. evening concert). Come and hear the band's unique brand of folk-roots music and harmonies.

sive fish-killing algal bloom in June and a rapid decline in sea stars in July. Five years of data shows eelgrass density gradually edging downwards, especially in shallow water, while Bay Pipefish and Plainfin Midshipmen, two of the most charming and colorful fish at Indian Island, are showing signs of recovery.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. To make a firewood complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx

I love it here because I can get lots of tummy rubs, and needed exercise – yeah, I’m a bit pudgy. Come visit any day from 2 to 5 p.m., call 376-6777, or check all the dogs and cats on orcaspets.org.
