Annual holiday special inside this edition

On Monday, Undersheriff Bruce Distler will get on a ferry with his wife Bonni, their car and trailer and say farewell to the island he has called home for the last eight and a half years. Bruce and Bonni are moving to Green Valley, Ariz. They first “fell” for the state when the visited last year and decided that it was the place for retirement. Bruce describes Green Valley as a 55-plus community with “absolutely killer recreation,” including swimming pools and plenty of golf. It has been two years since Bruce has swung a club, but now he will have plenty of time to perfect his game. He also looks forward to riding his Harley Davidson. “What I will miss most is the friends we’ve made,” he said. Bruce was appointed to undersheriff in 2013. That month Sheriff Rob Nou told the Sounder that Bruce was chosen for his education, experience, personality, temperament and philosophy. The undersheriff has a master’s degree in management and criminal justice from Colorado Technical University. He has spent nearly 22 years as a law enforcement officer, serving San Juan County since 2006. Prior to

Man pleads guilty to drug, weapon charges Police investigation was aided by Orcas Island neighborhood watch group by SCOTT RASMUSSEN Journal editor

An Orcas Island man, the target of a home invasion about a year ago by a would-be armed robber, was dealt a 20-month prison term last week after pleading guilty to a series of felony drug and weapons crimes. On Nov. 14, David Atanas Andreev, 40, pleaded guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, one count of possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and to one count of possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver, a Class B felony. In the sentence

handed down by Judge Don Eaton, Andreev was ordered to serve a total of 20 months in prison, the prison term sought by prosecutors and maximum allowed under state sentencing standards given the 40-year-old's criminal history. He must also pay $1,050 in fines and fees. Andreev, who had been released on $75,000 bail pending trial, was taken into custody immediately after the sentencing. Convicted in early 2006 of first-degree possession of stolen property, a felony offense, Andreev was prohibited from owning or having firearms in his possession. Authorities confiscated a .22-caliber collapsable rifle and

a .32-caliber handgun reportedly stolen from a San Juan Island home when they arrested Andreev at the Rosario-area home on drug and weapons charges in mid-June. Sheriff 's deputies, assisted by a Bellinghambased K-9 unit, reportedly seized cash, scales, packaging materials, the two firearms, eight ounces of packaged marijuana and 24 grams of methamphetamine at the time of the arrest. According to court documents, the arrest and subsequent conviction were the culmination of a four-month-long investigation into

beginning his police career, he served 22 years with the Air Force, retiring as a master sergeant in aeromedical evacuation. He is a drug recognition expert, specially trained to determine if people are under the influence of drugs other than alcohol. Bruce said there was a huge learning curve transitioning from his job as a deputy being on the road to working as an administrator and leader. The undersheriff is considered the second in command of the sheriff ’s office. Bruce

Reflections of an island archaeologist by EMILY GREENBERG Journal reporter

She came to camp and convened with the orcas once a year for the past 17 years, but she never thought she would stay. Yet that’s exactly what environmental archaeologist Candace Gossen did, choosing San Juan Island as the place to decompress

from her latest adventure. Half a world away from the place in which she’s dedicated her life’s work, San Juan has been a constant reminder that her job there is not yet complete. For over 12 years Gossen has been digging in the dirt on Easter Island, a southern hemispheric province of Chile, unearthing its rich history. She’s uncovered an

untold story of the native Rapa Nui people. The driving force to remain on San Juan came during Gossen’s visit in May this year, when she connected with the Whale Museum. She was invited to return in August to discuss her work on Easter Island. Currently commissioned to help write the energy plan for the San Juan Islands Conservation District, Gossen keeps the Chilean province in mind. “I get to work here on this island that could be selfsustainable. I could bring that plan back to Easter Island, “ she said. “It’s a very injured place.” As the story is often told, the Rapa Nui people, Polynesian in descent and the first to inhabit Easter Island, destroyed their environment. It’s said they cut down all of their trees for agriculture, multiplied too quickly and over-exhausted their resources, until there were no trees left at all. Words like “eco-cide” are

often used, placing blame on the inhabitants, not the environment. “But that’s not the real truth,” Gossen said. Gossen found that between the years of 1390 and 1505 there was an extreme cold and dry event that lasted for 115 years. According to the archeologist, these conditions were unfavorable to the island’s trees, and aided in their disappearance. With no one left to tell the true story of the disappearing trees, Gossen feels she must continue to uncover the truth. Thousands of miles away in Friday Harbor, she is writing grant requests in hopes of returning to the southern hemisphere in 2015, and brainstorming ways to entice philanthropists to invest in the practical application of a sustainable energy plan on Easter Island.

Orcas man convicted of Time to be a mentor assault is now on the run Orcas resident David Thompson, convicted of assault, is now on the run. After a jury trial in October, Thompson was convicted of Assault in the Second Degree with a Deadly Weapon and Felony Harrassment. The charges arose out an incident where Thompson threatened to kill three young men and pointed a gun at them because they would not let Thompson kill their dog.

After the jury convicted Thompson, he failed to appear for his sentencing hearing. He has been at large since October 31, 2014. The bail posted in his case was forfeited. Prosecutor Randall Gaylord said that he expects Thompson to be picked up at some point and brought back to San Juan County for sentencing.

very year we gather together with friends and family to express gratitude. Thanksgiving is about socializing and eating, but it’s also a great time to truly think about what matters in your life. Here at the Sounder, we are grateful to have jobs that we love, loyal, engaged readers and advertisers who value growing their business through small newspapers. And most of all, we are thankful for community. For without you, we would have nothing to write about. We asked readers to share what they are thankful for this year. Here is a sampling. What are you thankful for? • Living on an island where people haven’t forgotten what community means. • My rescue dog. • Today. • My life. • Good health, friends, family and Orcas Island. • Being alive and healthy. • Great coworkers • Opportunities to be useful. • Having a job that allows me to make a difference in children’s lives. And to experience one of the ultimate celebrations of community, check out the Oddfellows annual dinner on Nov. 27. More than 200 people attend every year. Volunteers cook all the turkeys and provide tableware and those in attendance are asked to bring a beverage and a dish based on their last name.

Happy Thanksgiving from the mayor As Thanksgiving and the festive month following draws near, I wanted to extend holiday greetings to all. Personally, I am thankful that there are impressive new-design crosswalks on Main Street. The wide stripes make for a kind of Abbey Road feel (If that reference is too obscure for you, ask your mother). I am also thankful to all the friendly citizens who continue to regularly offer me greetings as I take my daily walks through town. A month from now, I hope to be thankful to anyone who is thoughtful enough to provide a dog cookie for good dogs they encounter. As always, I am available to discuss Eastsound issues most days at my office on Main Street and North Beach Road. Be kind to one another and Shop the Rock. Jack Mayor of Eastsound

Helping teens This is the fifth “Thanksgiving Day” that the Island Reproductive Health Initiative (IRHI) has been helping teens and young adults on Orcas to protect themselves from problems related to unwanted pregnancies and the spread of sexually transmitted infections. So on this day, we wish to thank all of our community donors and supporters. The biggest part of what IRHI does is to pay for reproductive and sexual health care and medication, at all Orcas medical clinics, for those who cannot afford

it. Education is the other part of what IRHI does. We believe that the ability to be safe and sexually healthy, depends so very much on each young person’s knowledge and awareness about this area of their lives. On behalf of our IRHI patients, we give thanks to generous individuals on Orcas who provide almost all of our funding. We are also thankful for our third $1,000 grant from Orcas LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Bisexual). We thank Doe Bay Resort and Cafe for donating a portion of their March Pizza Night proceeds to IRHI. And we thank the Orcas Island Community Foundation for administering the OICF/IRHI Fund. On behalf students who are more knowledgable, we thank the Orcas Island School District’s Board of Directors, administration and teachers for their support of IRHI. Business owners who help us promote safe and healthy sexual behavior are: Sequel, The Kitchen, Doe Bay Cafe, Fashion Fairy, Studio Mireau. Finally, thanks to Colleen Armstrong Smith, editor of the Islands’ Sounder, for her articles (see: “Why it’s important to talk to kids about sex”, April 30, 2014). Jean Henigson for IRHI

Lane three confusion First it was confusion, immediately followed by outrage, and then stuffing a deep rooted core of sorrow, I was forced to quickly adapt. They had taken, nay, ripped Lane 3 from me and forced me, as an Orcasite, to adapt to Lanes 4 & 5. I parked and walked back. “When did this happen? Why? What am

I to do with my Lane 3 T-shirt?” The attendant raised his arms in helplessness. “Last week. I don’t know why. It’s out of my control, but the T-shirt’s now Official Ferry Memorabilia. Perhaps you can sell it on Ebay?” Then the retrospection. How am I to continue from here? What am I to do? And why is this bothering me so much!? For 25 years I’ve been ‘Lane 3’. …I know what this is. It’s Identity Theft! “They” have callously taken from me, in an indifferent blink of an eye, a part of who I am, of who we are. We are Lane 3. Enough. Buddha has taught that the only thing you can depend on is change, (or something like that). I must bend, like the willow in the strong wind. I must accept that the good of the Corporate Computer (lanes 1-12.. how trite, how ordinary, how anti-artistic) far outweigh the good of the Individual. When I was 3 I could try harder, but now that I’m 4 or 5, I don’t know…… So, how ‘bout those Seahawks? Frank Michels Orcas Island

LETTERS FROM 4 McLaughlin and Margie Sabine. In addition, a big thank you to Island Market which provides much of the food at cost, and Orcas Island Food Bank, Orcas PTSA and Orcas Island Community Foundation for donations to this year’s program. Now in its fifth year, the program has gotten stronger and more streamlined, but the need for the bags has only increased. This year we are preparing an average of 49 bags each week, up from 42 bags last year. These “Weekend Packs” help bridge the food gap for children who are hungry over the weekends; for some breakfast and lunch at school are the most nutritious meals of their day. Each discreet bag contains foodstuffs such as milk, cheese and crackers, fruit, tuna or microwavable soups. Donations can be sent to the Orcas Island Food Bank (PO Box 424, Eastsound, WA 98245) with WPK in

Big thanks to EMS My daughter and I wanted to extent a huge thank you to our emergency medical services staff particularly Bryce Hamilton, for his professional, compassion care for my daughter Crystal, who was air lifted off our island just recently. You all went the extra mile to ensure her comfort and security when she was overwhelmed and confused. You also made it possible for me to travel with her which was a great comfort. We wanted to publicly acknowledge your professionalism. And to the nurses Emergency Medical Staff on Island Air who accompanied my daughter and I in the hospital and made us feel much better about the pending emergency room visit.

Motor vehicle accident Oct. 26, 3 p.m. OIFR responded to a vehicle over the embankment on Deer Harbor Road. Arriving responders found the male driver had successfully exited the vehicle. He was found to be in stable condition with minor injuries and was taken to a local physician’s office for follow up.

News and Events 2015 Budget Last April, Orcas voters approved the passage of a 10-year operational levy that in 2015 will reduce the amount the district taxes our community by 1.7 percent. Additionally, we were fortunate to receive notification of a Federal SAFER Grant award to improve volunteer response. Through the months of October and November, the Board of Fire Commissioners and administrative staff have engaged in multiple public meetings creating the 2015 Proposed Budget, which reflects the spirit of the Strategic Plan

and Financial Projection and contains adjustments dictated by Washington state BARS reporting laws. Disease planning Staff from OIFR has been working to assure a wellplanned response to emergencies involving infectious diseases such as Ebola. Preparation has included meetings and coordination with other emergency response leaders in county, adopting enhanced procedures for responding to possible incidents and expanded training of our personnel. Washington Survey and Ratings Bureau Over the last year, OIFR has been preparing for an evaluation by the Washington Survey and Rating Bureau, which began its analysis of OIFR on Oct. 15. The WSRB evaluates fire districts and water systems and assigns a rating that insurance companies use to establish insurance premiums. OIFR has a current rating of six that was assigned by the WSRB in

1988. The WSRB ratings system has become more detailed and comprehensive since 1988. Volunteer Recruitment and Retention Coordinator Mindy Kayl is now the volunteer recruitment and retention coordinator. Her new position is funded entirely by a federal grant designed to strengthen emergency response for EMS, fire and rescue. Key components of her position will be to provide internal customer service for our current volunteers and to recruit new volunteers to assure a robust response to emergencies. Fire recruit academy OIFR began a fire recruit academy to train six new volunteers in the basic skills of fire fighting. The academy will conclude in the middle of December. New members are: John Ahrens, Virginia Carrick, Paul Carrick (also an EMT with OIFR), Paul Kintzele, Tony Simpson and David Tribolet.

Conference Nov. 4 and 5, OIFR members attended a conference in the Seattle area hosted by the Washington State Fire Chief ’s Association that focused on the improvement and interoperability of emergency medical and non-emergent medical care services through “Community Paramedicine/ Mobile Integrated Health Care.” Replacement paramedic command vehicle OIFR has received the first of two paramedic command vehicles that are replacing two “retired” vehicles. The two Chevrolet Tahoes were purchased through the Washington State Public Bid process. The vehicles will carry the medical and incident response equipment required of our paramedics and will be able to access and transport patients from topographically challenged areas on Orcas. They are red to provide improved visibility and distinguish their function as an EMS/Fire/ Rescue response vehicle.

DISTLER FROM 1 supervised sergeants, detectives, corrections officers and the traffic officer. As a deputy, Bruce recalls that he “knew” how to fix everything that he could do a better job than those in higher positions. As undersheriff the realities of problem solving had a new meaning. He realized that decisions are not always based on what will make others happy but are more about balancing the budget and working with the county and the community. Bruce also learned over his career in law enforcement how to deal with traumatic situations like car accidents and suicides. He said people would be shocked to hear how police talk to one another in these

situations. “Your mental functions in these cases try to protect you from going crazy,” he said. One part of his job that always made him feel satisfied is that of all the trauma he has witnessed none of it has ever been caused by his hand.

“I’ve never had to fire my weapon at another human being,” he said. Bruce also says he is proud of the fact that everyone he has worked with, from witness to victim to those being arrested, have respected the way he does his job. “It goes back to my original training to treat everyone the way you would want to be treated,” he said. “People are people and we all make mistakes.” Even with those successes under his belt, Bruce looks forward to walking away from the stress of law enforcement. Bonni is also retiring from her position at the Orcas Family Health Center. She has worked in the medical coding and billing department for four years. “She is an integral part of the group here and will be missed,” said billing and collection specialist Marie Drape. Bonni worked for 25 years as a 911 dispatcher and then switched to the medical field when the couple moved to the island. Bruce leaves the department at a pivotal time. In January, Ron Krebs will replace Rob Nou as the sheriff and will appoint a new undersheriff. Bruce’s advice to the new team is to find balance in the leadership roles. “Sometimes I was the voice of reason and sometimes Rob was,” he said. “We would trade off. That is important.”

suspicious activity in and around the Geiser Way home that Andreev and another individual, along with four dogs, moved into without the knowledge or permission of the home owner more than two years ago. That activity, marked by a steady stream of cars at all hours of the day, many of which reportedly stayed only briefly, prompted numerous complaints to the sheriff 's department and a neighborhood meeting in April which was attended, at the neighbors' request, by the county prosecuting attorney, Randy Gaylord, an Orcas Island resident. “People need to know

that they can influence the way these cases turn out,” Gaylord said. “I greatly appreciate the willingness of Andreev’s neighbors to speak out against the illegal drug activity on their street.” Neighbors would later establish a neighborhood watch, place phony surveillance cameras in the area and post warning signs along the shared narrow roadway, in an attempt to curtail what many were convinced was the constant dealing of drugs out of the home Andreev was "squatting" in. Gaylord described the sentence as a “high-end, standard–range sentence.” He said that at the sentencing hearing, Andreev spoke, apologized for his conduct

and “tried to minimize it.” Gaylord acknowledged that to many this sentence would seem light, but he said it fits the range that the legislature fixed as part of the sentencing process. According to court documents, authorities believe Andreev was targeted by a would-be armed robber a year ago in December because the assailant, a 25-year-old longtime acquaintance of Andreev's, thought there would be a large amount of cash inside the home. The plot failed when a bandana fell from the man's face during the break-in and he was recognized; he then fled the home. He was later convicted of attempted assault and burglary.

Farm to Classroom is busy by MADIE MURRAY F2C Chair

Farm to Classroom is experienced by all of our public school students from kindergarten through grade 8. Here’s a brief summary of some of the exciting foodfarm-garden projects they have experienced so far this year: Mandy Randolph, grades through 6: Each grade spends one hour a week in the classroom and school garden. This class was started for grades K-4 in 2009 and increased to include grade 5 and 6 in 2011. OIEF has provided the funding. • Students teamed up for a garden scavenger hunt to get reacquainted with the garden and find some exciting new plants that had grown over the summer. • Kindergarten students dug up a bumper crop of potatoes from the school garden that will be used in a class cooking project. Check out a blog entry on Nov. 4 called “The Great Potato Dig!” at www.simplyorcas. com. • All grades had guided “edible garden tours” where they tasted more than 40 different plants growing in our school garden. • Students helped remove the original garden fence so the old and new gardens became one: a big moment for our garden. • Some grades had harvest days resulting in some delicious student-made “Stone Soup.” Each class added at least 10 ingredients from the school garden to create the soup. The only ingredient not sourced from the garden was salt.

• All grades have been busy harvesting and preparing the school garden for the coming winter. Lots of cutting, pulling, digging, turning soil and planting cover crops. • Students harvested seeds from several plants for replanting next year. The new three-bin composter was filled, tools were cleaned up and the tool shed was cleaned and organized by the students. Winter classes will include lots of indoor projects and lessons about food, farming and nutrition while the garden sleeps for the winter. Jennifer Pietsch, Grades 7 and 8: The class for grades 7 and 8 are exploratory classes where they get to spend more time on their projects and take field trips to farms and other special Orcas locations. This class was started for grades 7 and 8 in 2014 by popular demand from those students leaving Mandy’s classes, and OIEF once again provided the funding. • Students learned about how to use and preserve

the harvest. Made tomatillo salsa and discussed the challenges and pitfalls of food preservation including food-borne pathogens. • Vegetable samplings and pizza-making at Red Rabbit Farm. • Completion of the construction of the new worm composter. Worm castings can be used by elementary Farm to Classroom for their planning projects. Also completed the vertical and horizontal composting setups that will be useful for comparisons on effectiveness (science projects). • Study of poultry - buying versus raising, what goes into production, associated costs, risks and rewards, along with hands-on demonstration of chicken processing. • A discussion and demonstration of hand tools by a visit to Smith and Speed. • A day trip to Meyers Creamery for goat dairy and cheese making, and Morningstar Farm for hands-on lessons on sowing winter crops, garlic planting, harvesting and cooking fresh from the harvest.

Obituary Marian A. Berdan Marian was born Feb. 13, 1925 on a homestead ranch in far northeastern Montana to Myrtle Waltman Berdan and Lynn Berdan. She was the seventh of eight children, six of whom grew to adulthood: Lee, Francis, Grace, Elaine, Marian and Ronald. She attended grades 1-8 in a one-room schoolhouse. The children and their mother moved to Malta, Mont., for high school. She attended Seattle Pacific University during the war years and worked as a welder on Liberty Ships during that period. Marian graduated college at age 21 and took a teaching assignment on Orcas Island teaching high school chemistry, physics and math. She fell in love with teaching and her students. She went on to study at the University of Washington, Oregon State University and Syracuse University in New York, taking degrees in chemistry and a Master’s in Education. She taught High School in Othello, Richland and many years at

Mount Rainier High School in Seattle. Marian bought property on Orcas early on in her career. She was diagnosed with MS in 1963 at age 38. By 1976 she was too ill to teach and her brother Lee, with the help of some nephews, built her home on Orcas. She loved her view, the garden and “her” eagle in the old fir she watched from her “fainting couch” chaise. Marian was content and her health improved. She continued to teach by tutoring students from the Island, even having one young man live with her for a couple of years. Marian was a caregiver most of her life. She brought her youngest brother, Ronald, with her to Orcas when she began teaching. She cared for her mother in her home

in Burien for several years, bringing in her mother’s cousin, Virgie Patterson, to help, and then cared for Virgie until she died. Marian was a strong woman of determination, compassion and faith. She inspired her nieces and nephews – sometimes whether they wanted to be inspired or not! During her last years, Marian required 24-hour care to stay in the home she loved. She received wonderful, competent, loving care from Deb Lloyd and Sheri Gates during those seven years. She had people living with her who came to love her – people who cared for her. Marian peacefully passed away in her sleep on Oct. 24, 2014. Marian is survived by her sister Elaine in Ottawa, Canada, and nieces, nephews and their spouses. A memorial service for Marian will be held at Emmanuel Episcopal Church on Dec. 1, 2014 at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Marian’s memory may be made to the Orcas Island Community Foundation for the Marian A. Berdan Scholarship Fund, or a charity of your choice.

Find happiness this winter Five steps to help you this season by CALI BAGBY Assistant Editor

Being happy isn’t a mood that is 100 percent achievable 24 hours a day. I like to think of happiness as something that comes and goes. The important thing about finding happiness is knowing it will always come back.

1. Friends

While I have a bias for actually having friends whom I can talk to in person, it appears that virtual connections do have a place in the search for happiness. Time Magazine recently released a story referring to the effects of positive posts on Facebook. Basically, when something uplifting was posted, two posts with similar emotions would follow by other people. The study also showed that “each additional positive post reduced the number of negative ones by friends by nearly two-fold, while each additional negative update lowered positive posts by 1.3 times.” So when you get online, spread the love with puppies and rainbows and continue the flow of good vibes. It doesn’t mean that you still shouldn’t let positive emotions spread in real time. So next time you are at the Farmers’ Market, Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony or the Eastsound Art Walk

(check out more about these holiday events on page 3), say something nice and watch the positivity spread.

2. Adventure

Exercise can be a dirty word, so I prefer the term “adventure” whenever I am getting my blood pumping whether it’s a hike up Turtleback, going for a jog, kayaking or backpacking in the North Cascades. There are hundreds of ways to be active: rearranging your furniture, dancing or walking a dog at the animal shelter all count. But if you are depressed it is often hard to get motivated to start an “adventure.” “The problem with exercise is that people are often too depressed to get off the couch,” said Dr. Frank James, San Juan County health officer. For people facing that level of lethargy, James recommends seeking medication or talk therapy first and then they should focus on getting exercise back into their lives. The recommended dose of physical activity is 40 minutes a day. James said as long as you are slightly out of breath, but could still maintain a conversation, then you are at the right level of physical exertion. If you can get outdoors during the day and combine light exposure while raising your heart rate, that is ideal, said James.

3. Comfort zone

Routine can be good. You read the paper in the morning, head to work and look forward to curling up with your favorite book in the evening, but can this pattern create stagnancy in your life? According to an article on Life Hacker’s website, the anxiety that comes from stepping out of your comfort zone may actually be good for you. The article points to benefits like extended creativity and the ability to cope with unexpected change. Of course everyone’s comfort zone is different and you have to find what is a healthy level of stepping out. For many of us, learning a new discipline like yoga or learning to play an instrument may be enough to jump start our lives. It’s important to gradually step out of your comfort zone and remember you can always come back to your creature comforts.

4. Probiotics

Any RadioLab podcast fans out there? In their episode “Guts,” hosts Jad and Robert refer to a study on mice that were given probiotics known as Lactobacillus. The question was: if you feed mice a lot of probiotics, would it change their personality? Half of the mice were given probiotics and the other half were not. The mice

were dropped in water in a bucket that they could not get out of. The mice that were not on probiotics swam for a little while, but within four minutes gave up and started to float. The mice that were taking Lactobacillus continued to swim for six minutes, which is when researchers removed the mice from the bucket. Overall, the study, which measured the animals’ stress hormones, found that mice who had been given probiotics suffered less stress, anxiety and depressionrelated behavior. Conclusion: I keep a bottle of probiotics near my desk.

5. Meditation

Numerous studies suggest that meditation not only creates relaxation and stress reduction, but can also bring you general peace of the mind. According to the Mayo Clinic, “meditation can give you a sense of calm, peace and balance that benefits both your emotional well-being and your overall health. And these benefits don’t end when your meditation session ends. Meditation can help carry you more calmly through your day and may improve certain medical conditions.” If you want to dive into meditation, try a guided recording by Dr. Ronald Siegel, an assistant clinical professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School at www.mindfulness-solution.com.

First impressions are everything

by KATHRYN FARRON

Quite simply, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. This is especially true in real estate and even more so in the islands where so many of the potential buyers may only be here for a limited amount of time. Island buyers have high expectations. Within moments of entering a home, buyers know if this is the property that will not only fit their lifestyle, but meet their dreams of a home that will embrace, nurture, delight and inspire. Residential staging is the art of preparing a private residence for the real estate marketplace. Creating a “stage” will leave buyers with a lasting impression of the home, allowing it to stand out above the competition. The objective is to transform the space to achieve a timely and more profitable sale. In today’s competitive market, home staging can be the essential element needed to capture the attention of the buyers. Most buyers are visual and need a point of reference to relate to a new envi-

ronment. Defining space to better understand the size of a room, scale is key in showcasing a vacant home’s capabilities. While enhancing the strong selling points and minimizing those that are less desirable, staging helps buyers to visually move into the property. Home staging pieces give the buyers a vision from which to begin. With an occupied home, staging is essentially depersonalizing. Working with existing furnishings, distractions are removed to enable potential buyers to focus on the space rather than what is in the space. The goal is for buyers to imagine themselves living in the home, not necessarily in your home. You want a buyer to remember the space rather than your beautiful things. Often referred to as a “mainland thing,” staging is now being embraced by savvy island sellers with surprising results. Big or small, vacant or occupied, every home benefits from staging. Whether you hire a professional or opt to objectively tackle it yourself, residential staging creates an immediate emotional impact. This first visual experience is a one-time opportunity. First impressions are everything. Kathryn Farron is an independent, San Juan Islandbased staging consultant

able at the library after Thanksgiving. Auditions will be held at the Grange on Thursday, Dec. 4 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 7 at 2 p.m. Auditions will be from readings from the script and some acting exercises. Rehearsals will begin as soon as the play is cast. Performances are scheduled for the last two weekends in February and the first weekend in March. For more information contact the director, Doug Bechtel at 317-5601.

Join the Orcas Library on Friday, Nov. 28 at noon to hear from Seattle sportswriter Art Thiel. He will discusses his new book “Russell Wilson-Standing Tall.” Never having met a metaphor he could not twist beyond recognition, Thiel has been illuminating, agitating, amusing and annoying Puget Sound sports readers for a long time. Along with Steve Rudman, he co-founded Sports Press Northwest because it didn’t seem right that the Google monster should aggregate daily journalism into oblivion without at least a flesh wound from somebody. Thiel and Rudman labored under the Seattle Post-Intelligencer globe until the print edition died an undeserved death in March, 2009. Art continued on at its online successor seattlepi.com while working on SPNW’s creation. His radio commentaries can be heard Friday and Saturday mornings and Friday afternoon on KPLU-FM 88.9. In 2003 he wrote the definitive book about the Seattle Mariners, “Out of Left Field,” which became a regional bestseller. In 2009, along with Rudman and KJR 950 afternoon host Mike Gastineau, Thiel authored “The Great Book of Seattle Sports Lists,” a cross between historylink.org and Mad Magazine that has become mandatory reading for any sports fan who has an indoor bathroom. This program is sponsored by the Orcas Island Library and the Friends of the Orcas Island Library and is free to the public.

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. To make a firewood complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx
