Orcas Island will receive millions of dollars for capital and transportation projects as part of the 2015-17 budget package recently passed by the Washington state legislature. “I think we did pretty well for this session,” said San Juan County council member Jamie Stephens. “I worked hard, Rick [Hughes] worked hard, and Bob [Jarman], to get some of these things done, and our legislators really worked well with us to get this much. We’ve had years where we get absolutely nothing.” Funding includes $1.4 million for the Orcas Island Library; $760,000 for an Orcas Village Park and Ride at the ferry landing; $350,000 for a feasibility study to determine the best way to repair or reroute Lopez Island’s failing MacKaye Harbor Road; $243,000 from the Department of Ecology to install rain gardens and curbgutter sidewalks along Eastsound’s Prune Alley; and $115,000 from the Recreation and Conservation Office to replace the dock at Odlin Park on Lopez. For San Juan Island, the county council had requested funding to construct a connector between Pear Point Road and Turn Point Road but was denied. County Engineer Rachel Dietzman said the plan for the Orcas “park and ride” is to use the five-acre parcel belonging to Washington State Ferries above the newly installed ferry tollbooth. San Juan County would lease this parcel from WSF and develop it to include free 72-hour and possibly two-week parking to serve daily commuters and short-term visitors. Dietzman said that while public works has ideas for the project, the county expects to initiate an “extensive public process”

Jessi Gudgell is heading into her junior year at the University of Oregon, and she can already cross some major items off her bucket list. The 21-year-old is back on Orcas for the summer after the experience of a lifetime: circumnavigating the world during a semester at sea program. “There are moments and faces from my adventures that will never be erased from my mind,” she said. “The hearts of love and welcome attitudes that most everyone in each port I visited shared with me and my travel companions was incredible. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have a group of American college students invade your hometown, but with our gracious hearts and their warm welcomes and constant kindness we were able to create friendships with people all over the world.” Gudgell saw the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal in India, Angkor Wat in Cambodia and the landscape of temples in Myanmar. She gave out TOMS shoes to impoverished children in South Africa and volunteered in orphanages. “I was taken aback at the realization that some organized orphanage visits seemed more like a ‘field trip’ than time for us to actually help the children,” Gudgell said. “They would get attached to us and we would leave – just like everyone else. And that absolutely broke my heart. Our intentions were good but maybe we were doing more harm than good.” Gudgell says she was overcome by the reality of

poverty and how Americans interact with others in foreign countries. “Imposing our Western ideas on people of different mind sets than our own is not necessarily going to be beneficial to them,” she said. “I would like to travel and do aid work in the future, but only if it is asked for by the people and not forced upon them.” The study abroad program was sponsored by the University of Virginia and included 550 U.S. students and 100 international college kids. There were also life-long learning students, families of professors and crew members aboard the 600-foot, seven-deck vessel, bringing the passenger total to 900. Over the course of four months the ship traveled through Asia and Africa. Gudgell lists Myanmar, South Africa and Morocco as her favorite locales but says, “I fell in love with every place I saw and left pieces of my heart behind in each port.” The philosophy on the ship was “ubuntu,” a South African saying about human kindness that means “I am because we are, and we are because I am.” Those on the ship were without internet or phones for most of the trip. Gudgell said it made for deeper, more connected relationships. “People were really there to learn about the world and immerse themselves in the community,” she said. “I played games with children on streets and crawled through temples with natives who knew the town like the back of their hand.

Orcas Island resident Peter William Sherman, 27, has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon in the second degree for an incident on July 4 in Eastsound. Bail was set at $10,000. Sherman is awaiting a trial set for Sept. 21. Sherman allegedly pointed an Ithaca 20-gauge shotgun at three people after a verbal altercation with one of them. According to court documents the gun was not loaded, but witnesses said they did not know that at the time. Witnesses also said Sherman told one man he was going to kill him. According to the responding officer’s report, Sherman admitted he pointed the gun at the three people. He added that he had been consuming alcohol, stating he had not been thinking straight. Sherman initially called the San

Winners of 5K Kya Salt is Magna Cum Laude run on July 4 On July 4, the Funhouse Commons hosted its Fourth Annual 5K, now named the “Eat and Run” in honor of the many local restaurants sponsoring the race. Results are online at http://www.webscorer.com/ race?raceid=4625. Michael Bea was the overall winner (male) with a time of 21:00.8 and Layna Mosley was overall winner (female) with a time of 22:54.0.

Marine Watch New mayor for Orcas Island

Kya Salt, 19, from Eastsound, recently graduated from Central Washington University, Magna Cum Laude, with a Bachelor of Arts Degrees in Sociology and Criminal Justice. Salt, at right, earned her high school diploma through Skagit Valley College by completing an Associate of Arts degree through the Running Start program. Salt says she is grateful for the support of family and friends, and for the

several local scholarships she was awarded here that helped her complete her work at Central Washington University, where she earned a 4.0 GPA. Salt has been accepted into graduate programs around the country and is currently making decisions and plans about where she will attend. Salt’s achievements are all the more notable as she was steered away from college-prep curriculum by her teachers, says her family.

Celebrating a life… Granny in the center forward. Sara Hysong Shimazu photo

s most of you probably know, an orca in J Pod is our new honorary Mayor of Eastsound. Granny, J-2 won by a landslide last week. Now that she is our Mayor I’ll give you a short history on her. She was born approximately 1911, 104 years ago. She is the oldest living member of the southern resident community and possibly the oldest orca whale in the world. She has one surviving offspring, J-14, Samish born in 1974. J-14 has three offspring and a grand offspring, making Granny a great great grandma. Granny lost her son Ruffles, J-1 about three or four years ago. Ruffles was approximately 60 years old. It’s very obvious Granny comes from an excellent gene pool, surviving this long. When Granny was born William Taft was president and the United States was three years away from entering World War I. She was born in the heyday of commercial salmon fishing when you knew where the whales were by the gunshots from boat to boat. She survived the days when the public thought orca whales were man eaters. A 1973 US Navy manual for divers stated “Killer whales will attack human beings at every opportunity.” Plus the fact that most people, especially fishermen, thought they were eating all the salmon. They were not a welcome sight. She made it through the capture period of the 70’s when aquariums came up here and captured almost half the resident population for display in Seattle, Vancouver and other aquariums in other parts of the country. She too was captured but was considered too old for the aquariums, but not her siblings and extended family members. Now her threat and that of every other southern resident orca is the dwindling salmon supply and pollution. Even with all that she has been through, every time I see Granny she seems so purpose minded and peaceful. Older females in the pods are invaluable sources of knowledge for the younger members. These senior orca have gained the knowledge necessary to know where the fish are, how to navigate through the islands and how to manage the ever changing tides.

There will be lots of fun for children, including a three-legged race, an egg toss and a pie-eating contest. The famous Olga Daze Parade will start at noon sharp. Of course, as always, the parade is for everyone – no spectators, all participants. Expect a “Barn Sale” and a silent auction, open until 2:30 p.m. Contact Steve Emmes at 376-1461 for special arrangements or to donate to the silent auction.

Editorial

Open your eyes to the world around you

raveling to Australia – and living there for a year – was the best time I’ve had in my life. The people from all over the world, the weather, the beaches and the work culture all added to an experience that is hard to put into words. What I can articulate is that international travel, particularly independent from family, was eye-opening, rewarding and leaves you wanting more. But while in Australia, I met fewer than 10 Americans during my entire time there. Though this seemed odd, studies support that little international travel is done by Americans across the globe. According to the State Department’s most recent statistics, 46 percent of Americans don’t even own a passport. If you think that’s high, consider that in Germany 90 percent of the population has one. When Americans do travel internationally, 50 percent of the trips are to Mexico and Canada only. But why? In a CNN article (January, 2014) travel experts listed four reasons for Americans’ lack of overseas travel: the U.S. offers its own broad cultural and geographical differences, Americans aren’t that knowledgeable about countries other than their own, they have vacation time too short for long travel and the logistics of planning an international trip is simply too daunting. For a local But I urge others, especially young student’s story people, to consider living or traveling about a semester extensively overseas. Yes, the U.S. has its beautiful national parks and fun at sea, read the cities to explore. These sites offer easy story on page one. access compared to international ones, which is why you should put them off until later. What you’ll get from international travel is the realization that life is much bigger than the U.S. That experience alone is a humbling one worth having. Understand that you have time in your life to do this now. A career, a house and a family will all be here when you get back. Vacation time in the U.S. is some of the shortest in the world, and our culture tells us that work and success is more important than travel. Longer periods of transition will become fewer as you age. If you have a gap in your schedule, consider that traveling abroad may lead you to your next adventure. Once you’ve decided that traveling internationally is what you want to do, choose short-term travel or living and working in the new locale. English-speaking or foreign language? Talk to people who have done both. Don’t limit yourself; all countries have something to offer. You have to pick the one you think is best suited for you. The logistics can be daunting but are not impossible to overcome. Go to the country’s government website and find out what qualifications you’ll need to visit. Most countries require a visa – a permission to enter – and they may not be cheap. Once you’ve applied for the visa, you’ll receive confirmation, or rejection, and a visa number. Some countries have visas specifically for young people, so be on the lookout. Plan a flight well in advance to bring the cost down. Sign up for special flight alerts. Consider traveling during the off-season. And save, save, save. Talk to your parents about how to make that happen. And trust that when you come back broke, it was well worth it. You’ll have had the time of your life. My time living in another country changed me forever. Take the leap and travel. You won’t be disappointed. – Joanna Massey, Islands’ Sounder

To the Editor: Thank you for headline In reply to Mr. Henigson’s Letter to the Editor published on July 8: Thanks to the staff of the Sounder for your continued service to the community. Like Steve Henigson, I was surprised by the paper’s use of a rhetorical device to engage my attention. I applaud the Sounder for its artful rhetoric. The headline demonstrates exceptional editorial acumen in alerting the community to a real problem without stirring alarm or defaming individuals. In the wake of our Independence Day celebrations, let us congratulate responsible members of the press who protect our First Amendment rights through their daily work.

Pacific Terminal, Gordon Jonasson completely misses their point. Perhaps he has not read their many statements about the proposed project, which they have concluded will seriously impact their “usual and accustomed” fishing rights. These rights were granted the Northwest Indian nations by the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott and upheld by the 1974 Boldt Decision, which was itself upheld by the United States Supreme Court. Some of the “science and facts” he refers to are already in hand — including a vessel traffic and risk assessment study by Glosten Associates. In its hundreds of pages is a long section about the adverse impacts of the project on Lummi fishing activities. These impacts are extensive. Based in part on this study, Lummi leaders have concluded that the project cannot be built without significantly impacting and degrading their fishing activities. Thus they have invoked their rights under the 1855 treaty and requested that the Army Corps of Engineers deny permits to the project. Project proposer SSA Marine claims that these impacts can be

mitigated, but the Lummi leaders disagree. The Corps is scheduled to rule on this question soon. If the Corps agrees with the Lummi position, as some expect, then there is simply no point in proceeding with the draft environmental impact statement. It’s game over. International treaties like the Point Elliott Treaty are the supreme law of the land. Thus there would be no point in continuing to spend millions of dollars and thousands of hours of government officials’ time on this ill-conceived project. Better to move on and focus our efforts on building a sustainable future that does not depend on a 19th century energy source. Michael Riordan Eastsound

that is needed is more volunteers. Though it might seem intimidating to offer yourself as a mentor, and to commit one or two hours a week – to listen, read, walk, fish, cook, etc. – it is really a mutually satisfying exchange that takes place. I guarantee that you will benefit as much as your mentee. Both the Primary Intervention Program and the Funhouse staff are skilled in matching partners of all ages for a positive experience.

Lower Tavern and Nest for getting behind the candidates, and to the countless businesses that donated counter space to our polling boxes week after week. Thanks to political analysts Layna Mosley and Andrew Reynolds for their unique perspective and to election helpers Ceci and Tess, programming guru Mark Florence and chauffer Penny Hawkes (for driving outgoing mayor Jack and his entourage in mayoral style).

Thanks for letter about mentoring Many thanks to David Turnoy for his letter on July 1 explaining the very real need for additional youth mentoring on Orcas. As the filmmaker of “Minor Differences,” the documentary he mentioned, which follows five former juvenile offenders from boys to men, I have witnessed first-hand the positive impact of the mentoring process. I feel incredibly lucky to live in a small, caring community, full of talented and generous adults – where it is possible to short-circuit problems as they arise, BEFORE they become insurmountable. As David mentioned, we already have successful programs/staff on-island that can guide our efforts. All

The following was submitted by Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island. After six months in Olympia, we finally finished our work – for now. I will provide a more detailed summary later of what got done this year and what did not, but I wanted to provide you with this outline of the past week’s events so that you understand where we stand and why we took this extra week to complete our work after passing the operating budget that averted a government shutdown last week. While we had passed a final operating budget last week, as many of you heard, we did not have the bipartisan votes needed to address Initiative 1351 — the noble but extremely costly $2 billion class-size reduction measure that the voters passed last November. Unfortunately, while lower class size in all our classrooms is something we must continue to work toward, as decision-makers we must be realistic, and the difficult reality is that I-1351 would be impossible to afford this year. Earlier this year Senate Democrats proposed a comprehensive plan to address I-1351 and our moral and

constitutional obligations outlined in the Supreme Court’s McCleary decision. Our plan, SB 6104, would have amended the initiative to phase it in and honor the will of the voters by committing to this detailed plan for implementation. Unfortunately, this proposal did not move forward. We had members who were willing to vote to change the initiative, but we were clear with Senate Republicans about what that means: If we are going to pass a bill that is detrimental to kids, let’s do something significant to help them. That’s why we asked for a solution to our high-stakes testing problem. Due to a change that was recently implemented, nearly 2,000 deserving high school seniors, who did everything right throughout all of their years in school, were now being told that they would not graduate – even though many were already accepted to college – because they failed to pass the required punitive high-stakes biology exam. Basically, the current biology exam is based on the old learning standards - we adopted new standards in 2013 and it is anticipated that the

new test on those standards will be available for field testing in 2017. Using a test based on standards that aren't even taught anymore is totally unfair to those students. So while it took an extra week, Republicans finally agreed with us, and we passed a bill that delays the high-stakes testing in science for two years – allowing those nearly 2,000 kids to be judged on their years of achievements and good grades instead of one individual flawed test. We also voted to suspend Initiative 1351. This was an extremely difficult decision. While I wish we had been able to advance our proposal that fully committed us to phasing it in over time, there were not the necessary Republican votes for our plan, and there was simply not the money to pay for the full proposal at this time. It remains an incredible honor to serve you.

ABROAD FROM 1 the language barrier we were able to communicate by facial expressions, gestures and love in our hearts. Love is a universal language.” Gudgell took five classes and each course also had a field lab – an outing in one of the countries where they stopped. In Vietnam her Spanish class met with college students in the area and they conversed only in Spanish. The ship spent six days in each port it visited,

and the students had five nights to explore on their own. Next on her list is to visit all seven continents. She has three left: Australia, Antarctica and South America. Gudgell is also considering joining the PeaceCorps. Her degree is in family and human services, but after the semester abroad she wants to pursue nursing or public health. Gudgell is sharing her story of travel in the hope that it will inspire others to travel and gain a sense

of global awareness. She says that kind of education is especially important for those – like herself – who are raised in small communities. “There is only so much learning that can be done in a classroom,” Gudgell said. “Experiencing different religions, political views, conflicts and beliefs by immersing yourself in different cultures is of inexplicable value and importance to everyone, no matter what one’s background might be.”

Historical days a delicious success By: CLARK MCABEE Director, Orcas Island Historical Museum This year’s July 3rd and 4th Historical Days were a big success thanks to all our dedicated supporters and volunteers. We sold out of hotdogs, and scores of parched people beat the heat both days in our beer garden. Friday the Harvey Family Logging show featured enthusiastic audience participation in the ring from axe-throwing to “ma and pa bucking.” More than 150 visitors took advantage of free admission to the Pioneer Museum including folks from as far away as Alaska, Paris, Brussels and as close as our neighbors next door, the Kaleidoscope kids. For perhaps the last time our “Mr. Reliable” board secretary Bill Buchan honchoed the hot dog booth ably-assisted by his partner Reed Schielbach, John Fleischer, Neil Hawkins and also board members Dr. Bruce Culver and Tony Ayer. The popular Antique Appraisal Fair was the well-orchestrated effort of museum office manager Maggie Vinson and her crew that included board members Harold Lentzner, Jamie Cier and volunteers Becky Vinson, Heather Johnson, Joanna Massey, Kathy Ciskowski and Linda Peth. The appraisers really enjoyed themselves and were impressed by the variety and quality of many objects brought for their professional valuation. We will definitely do it again. Look for some of these objects in the Museum’s September auction. Maggie also did double duty in the pie booth as well. Orcas Island Historical Society president Jim “The Hardest Working Man on Orcas” Biddick made sure the tents, pop-ups, booths, chairs, tables and other infrastructure were all ship shape and functional, heroically assisted by Don Seaman and other aforementioned volunteers pitching in when an extra hand was needed. Nearly 60 pies and seven gallons of ice cream for ala mode disappeared in a few hours bringing many happy smiles and tummies. This tra-

Workers included board members: Susan Fletcher, committee chair, board member Jerry and his wife Joanne Smith, Nancy Schmidt, Jerry and Joan Bettendorf, and Reed Schielbach. Donating wonderfully delicious pies were: June West, Joanna Smith, Mebs Gilliam, Linda Peth, Sandy Huie, Marilyn McGuire, Mary Rancourt, Dixie Walmsley, Polly Pratt, Sue Woods, Becky Vinson, Rocky Baker, Barbara Jamieson, Susan Krieger, Betty Marcum, Judith Slater, Ann Waltersdorph, Patty Monaco, Audrey Wells, Jan Loudin, Nancy Schmidt, Cathy Vierthaler, Janice Wiemeyer, Peggy Groundwater, Jamie Cier, Candace Bodenhammer, Jim Biddick, Leslie Seaman, Marcia Spees, Katie Jensen, Maria Doss, Kathy Schoessler, Susan Fletcher, and Roses.

STATE FROM 1 before creating an actual plan. “The goal of the park and ride is to get cars off of Orcas Road,” she added. “I think it’s going to be a huge benefit for Orcas Islanders; it’s going to improve safety on Orcas Rd.” While parking is clearly needed at the landing, Dietzman said that road funds cannot be used to install “parking,” but can be used to create a park and ride that will be viewed as a traffic reduction project. The lot will host charging stations for electric vehicles, and construction is expected to begin in 2016 or 2017. On Lopez, MacKaye Harbor Road is built on a sand bluff and having significant erosion problems.

ASSAULT FROM 1 Juan County Sheriff ’s Office to report a trespassing complaint at his home, saying the guest wouldn’t leave. By the time the officers arrived at the scene the guest had left. Sherman told the officers, “Things were fine as long as [the guest] did not talk to him.” The guest was with two others in the driveway and became agitated at the officers, shouting expletives at them and refusing to identify himself. According to the report: “At one point he advanced on [us]. We each grabbed one of his arms and

“The current road is falling into the water,” according to Stephens. He said the best strategy may be to reroute the road to avoid the alternative, which is “major armoring,” a strategy that can be problematic on an environmental level. He expects the project to provide better parking and access from the county park down to the beach. The allocated $350,000 will not include any construction, just preliminary feasibility work to determine the best route and to calculate costs. Not specific to San Juan County, but also included in the state’s transportation package, is $300 million in new operating funds to guarantee ferry service levels for over six years, and an additional $40 million to build a fourth 144-car

Olympic-class ferry. This is good news for the San Juan Islands regardless of where the ferry ends up serving, since a more functional fleet should result in fewer service interruptions due to local boats being “borrowed” to serve other routes. “We also got a bill passed for Island and San Juan Counties that will allow us to use the road budget to put mooring buoys and other facilities at our road ends,” said Stephens. He said there are quite a few road ends in the county that could offer public access to the shoreline. Most road ends are about 40 to 60 feet wide, and county public works would create signage to let the public know exactly where those access points are.

pinned him against the back of the minivan. We asked him to calm down.” The guest said he would, but when released he continued his aggression. “I could see there was no reasoning with [the guest]. He never gave us a chance to talk with him.” The officers decided to leave to “diffuse the situation.” According to the officer’s report, about five minutes later Sherman called dispatch to say he had a gun and had pointed it at the guest. The officers returned to the residence to find the guest walking down the

driveway toward the patrol car yelling that “we were incompetent and worthless.” When asked, Sherman said to one of the officers that he was afraid the guest was going to assault him, and ran to get the unloaded gun from his room. According to the witnesses, the guest and two witnesses were standing together when Sherman pointed the unloaded gun at them and yelled at the guest, “I am going to kill you!” One of the responding officers wrote that a witness told him, “Sherman is unpredictable with firearms when he has been drinking alcohol.” The witness could not remember a time when a similar incident had occurred with Sherman. The officer wrote that Sherman complied with the police and gave them permission to retrieve another rifle locked in his room. Assault with a deadly weapon in the second degree is a Class B felony for those without previous offenses.

The San Juan Islands welcomed a different type of summer visitor this past weekend: military veterans training to fight wildfires. Approximately 40 veterans participated in a three-day training on Lopez Island this weekend to receive wildland firefighter certification. The training was offered through a new partnership between the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Team Rubicon, an international nonprofit disaster response group which combines the skills and experience of military veterans with first responders. “Because of their military training and experience, veterans bring a remarkable skill set to the wildland firefighting community,” said Chuck Russell, BLM fire management officer and partnership coordinator. “It’s an honor for the BLM to provide our veterans these opportunities to continue serving and protecting our country.” Hosted by the Lopez School District, Lopez Fire Department and BLM’s San Juan Islands National Monument, the training provided the required instruction and field experience for the Team Rubicon veterans to receive their Type II firefighter certification, making them eligible to be dispatched to national wildfire incidents and also qualified to apply for permanent firefighting jobs.

Movement Graffiti: Master class with a pro dance theater from WWU by COLLEEN SMITH Editor/Publisher

Have you ever listened to the inside of a sea shell and heard the roar of the ocean? Or placed your ear on the forehead of your child or over the heart of a loved one and listened to their unspoken longings? Upon doing so, have you heard their wishes and have they seemed to say, “Come closer and I will show you something beautiful?”

Come to Orcas Center at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 25, and experience these sensations through this special dance performance by Movement Graffiti: Dance Theater from Western Washington University. The choreographers working with MGDT have turned to diverse subjects and the African savanna for

inspiration. Similarly, music as varied as that of Arvo Part, Kronos String Quartet and the flower duet from Delibe’s opera “Lakmé” underscore the five unique examples of time-based art that will be showcased. The work is impressionistic in nature. This is not story ballet or hiphop funk. It is mysterious at times, breathtaking in others and has appeal for the whole family. There will be a master class for intermediate modern dancers on Saturday, July 25 in the Black Box (Orcas Center’s OffCenter Stage). The class is $10 or free with a ticket purchased to the evening performance. Contact kara@orcascenter. org with questions. Tickets to the show are $15 for adults, $5 students at www.orcascenter.org or at 376-2281 ext. 1.

Broadway performer Noah Racey is coming straight from the theatre world of New York to the community of Orcas to share his knowledge with island performers. Orcas Center is presenting a “Summer Intensive and Master Class in Song Interpretation and Performance” led by Racey and Orcas singer, educator and director Grace McCune on piano. “This workshop is being offered to people who want the opportunity to dive deeper into their craft as a singer and as a performer,” McCune said. The three-day session runs July 27, 28 and 29 from 2 to 8 p.m. on the main stage. The master class is for those 18 and older. Tuition is $100; register at grace@ gracemccune.com. All singers are asked to come prepared with a song or two to work on. They will also be given the option to perform them with the

rest of the group on the last night of the intensive. “We will be looking at each performer’s interpretation, their musicality and the ways they are personalizing their song so it resonates deeply for them and fuels a performance that is uniquely their own and also shows them in their best light,” Racey said. Racey is an award-winning performer, writer, director, choreographer and educator based out of New York. His father Frances has lived on the island for decades and Orcas audiences know him for his appearances in Martin Lund’s One World Music concerts.

His first major performance was the Roosevelt High School production of “Oklahoma.” Racey realized how much performing enhanced his life. “The first time I got good grades when I was also doing theatre,” he said. In 1990 he was accepted into the Boston Conservatory, a private performing arts college. After moving to New York, it took him eight years to make it to Broadway. He appeared in “Curtains,” “Follies,” and “Thoroughly Modern Millie.” Racey is particularly proud of his starring role in the Broadway production “Never Gonna Dance,” which is based on the 1936 Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers film “Swing Time.” He is currently working on the Broadway-bound musical “Holiday Inn” in Connecticut. “I am inspired by watching kids do theatre and by my friends in the business,” he said. “I work with some of the best performers in the world.”

Beautifully written with heartfelt lessons. “Vanishing Games” by Roger Hobbs A much-anticipated sequel to “Ghostman.” Now we’re on the South China Sea, and a heist of sapphires from a small smuggling yacht goes awry and changes the course of action. Jack, the Ghostman, is called in to partner with an old protégé to stop a psychopath. Smuggling, danger, crime, death; everything you want in a summer crime read. “An Ember in the Ashes” by Sabaa Tahir To put it simply, Laia is a slave, Elias is a soldier, and neither is free. In this young adult novel, that’s the setup under the Martial Empire where defiance is met

But the Red Queen of Mortmesne has different ideas...

lthough the season in the San Juan Islands recently closed, a fish that remains high in interest to locals and visitors is the lingcod, a large white fleshed fish in the greenling family. These fish are something of a living fossil, and the only living member of the Ophiodon genus. Lingcod are known for their white flesh and light flavor. Lingcod are quick to bite and hard fighters, qualities which make them a prized sportfish. Oddly, the flesh of some lingcod (about 1 out of 5 fish) is actually a turquoise blue color when raw, a color that disappears when the fish is cooked. Scientists have no explanation for this occasional color fluke, although they theorize that it may have to do with a pigment in the fish’s bile that permeates the fish’s body. Lingcod stocks have long been fished on the West Coast, and in 1999 fisheries managers declared lingcod stocks over-fished. After the introduction of stricter fishery limits and conservation areas, lingcod populations rebounded quickly. In 2005 fishery managers declared lingcod stocks recovered and 2009 assessment found that lingcod numbers are far higher than they were expected to be at this stage in the recovery process. The main reason for the quick recovery of lingcod is that they are quick to grow and reproduce early in their lives. This means that harvested fish are replaced fairly quickly by new juveniles, making stock responses to management much faster than the responses of longer lived species. The downside to this is other species of groundfish with slower response times are still recuperating, and any bycatch affects their recovery process. Until the lingcod season reopens, island visitors won’t be able to experience the gustatory pleasure of rockfish, or the initial shock of their decidedly monstrous appearance.
