A look at OPALCO’s Rescue on the Salish Sea ‘revenue recovery’ by MEREDITH M. GRIFFITH Sounder contributor

Orcas Power and Light Cooperative members are seeing continued rate increases as it continues to collect less revenue due to lower kilowatt-hour sales. This February, OPALCO enacted a $10.30 facility charge on all member accounts. For July, the co-op board approved an additional “revenue recovery add-on” through 2015 to meet a projected revenue shortfall of $661,000. The residential increase will raise the average member’s bill by $8.43 per month. “Despite these rate increases,” says OPALCO public relations administrator Suzanne Olson, “member bills have been lower on average than the past couple of years. This is because we’re not using as much energy. Our revenues are down and so are our bills.” One key contributor, says Olson, is that recent erratic weather – and the resulting energy demand volatility – pays no heed to the fixed operating costs of energy utili-

ties. It’s not just that demand for electricity drops in warm weather, erratic weather makes it difficult for energy companies to accurately forecast both the amount of electricity needed from suppliers, and the yearly revenue that will be provided by kWh electricity sales. “Everybody in the nation has been caught short this year, because it’s an unusual trend we haven’t seen,” explained Olson. OPALCO President Jim Lett said that many member utilities of the Northwest Public Power Association are struggling with revenue shortfall, due mostly to warmer weather but also because of increased conservation measures and solar generation. In 2014, OPALCO’s cost of purchased power from Bonneville Power Administration increased by $546,056. It went from $7,584,245 to $8,130,301. That included a $200,000 demand charge levied by BPA in February due to much higher than contracted electricity use spurred by cold temperatures. Then came

County Council says Thomas not in the wrong after wetland designation by ANNA V. SMITH Journal reporter

The San Juan County Council has issued a statement that Manager Mike Thomas was not in the wrong in reference to a wetlands evaluation on a San Juan Island property. The council’s June 25 memo states Thomas was “within his jurisdiction” when he identified a contentious part of a San Juan Island property to not be a wetland. The statement is in response to an Improper Government Action report originally filed Jan. 21 by County Code Enforcement officer Christopher Laws that alleged a conflict of interest had occurred regarding a wetland determination in September of 2014. The initial IGA report filed by Laws stated that the property owners had complained to their

neighbor, Councilman Bob Jarman, who then asked Thomas to inspect the property. The IGA report alleges that Thomas and his wife Jennifer [a state certified wetland expert] did so, determined that it was not a wetland, and claimed “ethical impropriety” on Thomas’ part. The property is called the “Portland Fair Estates” and is owned by a nonprofit homeowners association. The recent memo from the council refuted those claims, stating that Thomas’ wife (who is not a county employee) was in the vicinity, but was not there to assist in a wetlands reconnaissance and that Thomas acted within his authority, stating “He has often intervened … to resolve a citizen issue, at times in conflict with the personal or professional opinions of his staff; with the goal of streamlining a pro-

cess, resolving long term issues, reflecting the wishes of the council, or with the larger goal of improving the perception of county government within the community.” The county memo went on in a later section to say that Thomas “saved the county an unnecessary expense by his review.” Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord handled the IGA submitted by Laws, and issued a memorandum regarding the report on March 11. He stated that had Thomas done a proper wetland reconnaissance then he should have filed an official report. It was unclear whether Thomas was qualified to make a wetland determination at the time. “The question presented is whether the

Young island musicians in Portugal

The oceans around the San Juan Islands are teeming with breeding seabirds right now. Most of these seabirds breed on the coasts and rocks edging the ocean. But one seabird in the San Juan Islands is unique—it does not breed on the coast at all. The marbled murrelet is an endangered species that breeds in old growth forests. Murrelets are stocky little birds with short necks and stubby wings. The adults are generally found on the ocean, eating herring and baitfish, but venture 40-50 miles inland to nest. They nest only in old growth forests, an ecosystem that has been hard hit by the logging industry on the Pacific Coast. Along with the decreasing amount of old growth forest, murrelet eggs are suffering from predation at an alarming rate. Jays and ravens are attracted to campsites in old growth forests by food that humans leave. Once they have found these sites, the clever corvids quickly begin to supplement their human diets by plundering murrelet eggs. In some areas, up to 70% of nests are raided. This predation has led to the rapid decline of murrelet numbers. These endangered little seabirds can still be seen in the waters around Orcas Island. They are solitary and sit low in the water. When they fly, they are at most a foot above the surface. As you camp around Orcas Island, remember that the murrelets may be breeding in this area, so be sure to clean up your food!

Three young Orcas Island musicians – Paris Wilson (violin), Emy Carter (violin) and Lisa Carter (piano) – were part of a 13-piece youth orchestra from the Seattle-toBellingham area who performed at The Lisbon International Youth Music Festival in Lisbon, Portugal this month. The North Stars Chamber Orchestra is under the direction of Sharyn Peterson, director of the Peterson Conservatory of Music and Arts, the Fidalgo Youth Symphony and the Mt. Baker Youth Symphony. The three Orcas musicians will be giving an update on their experiences on Sunday, July 26 at the Music in the Park in the Village Green at 5 p.m. The orchestra departed for Lisbon on July 6. Their program of music included works by Christoph Gluck, J.S. Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, Michael Head, John Corigliano, Astor Piazzolla, Richard Hieronymus, Carlos Gardel and Soon Hee Newbold. During the course of their stay in

Orcas Islanders earn victory at MMA event by MERRICK PARNELL Special to the Sounder

Combat Games’ “Battle at the Bay” was an actionpacked night of mixed martial art fighting at the Swinomish Casino in Anacortes on July 11. It was a night that was highlighted by the stellar performances of two Orcas Island fighters: Andy Nigretto and Colt Hausauer. Hausauer appeared in the co-main event of the evening as a professional against Sedro Wooley’s Jesse Nutting. Hausauer, a veteran of the cage, looked to use his speed early, as both fighters circled looking for an opening. After several strikes were exchanged, the fight went to the ground as both fighters combatted for a submission. Hausauer’s patience paid off when he was able to sink in an arm bar, which earned him the win by tap-out with less than two minutes into round one. “My game plan was to stand and strike until midround,” Hausauer said. “I knew when I threw punches he would shoot in on me. He shot in faster than I thought, so I took him to the ground. I finally got the monkey off my back, with the win.” With a large contingency of enthusiastic island support, Nigretto faced off against Curtis Hagg in the top-billed amateur fight. Nigretto entered the bout with a 1-1-1 record. He went to work quickly, landing several big punches on his opponent, each strike provoking a huge cheer from the crowd.

Nigretto continued to control the bout, landing several more big hooks that followed precise jabs. At the 1:57 mark in round one, with the crowd on their feet, Nigretto landed a haymaker that earned him the knockout victory. The event center erupted into a deafening roar, as Nigretto raised his arms in triumph. “I don’t have a lot of experience as a fighter, but I can do a couple of things pretty good though, and my left hook is one of those things,” Nigretto said. “I loved every second of that fight, and winning by KO with all my fans from the island there to watch and going nuts was

beyond amazing.” Nigretto’s win impressed all in attendance, especially the Combat Games promotion, which is regarded as one of the top fight promotions in the Northwest. “I thought Andy Nigretto versus Curtis Hagg was the fight of the night,” said Combat Games MMA CEO Joe DeRobbio. “The crowd was electric; you could feel the energy in the room. Andy imposed his will over a much bigger opponent.” Nigretto and Hausauer will continue to train with Orcas Fight Camp, and Hausauer hopes to contend for the 172-pound title in the near future.

The crazy world of new words

he Oxford English Dictionary announced in June that approximately 500 words have been added to its dictionary. The article about the added words made me all warm and fuzzy inside, as if I had just opened a gift of eight-track cassettes of C-Span’s Book TV - the greatest hits. I suspect 500 words is larger than my entire working vocabulary, unless growls, gasps and weird sounds count. (I think they do.) Here are a few of Oxford’s additions that caught my wandering attention. • Carnap - stealing a car, (not what I do while driving). It was first used as a verb in 1937 in the Helena Independent Record in Montana. • Gointer - It is a verb, and one of my new favorites. Oxford said it is a colloquial expression for “going to.” Example: I am gointer regurgitate your so-called food. Is this a great word or what? You say going to, I say gointer. • Koozie - It’s a noun for a sleeve to keep drinks cold (or more likely “concealed”). Sounds to me like the name of a hit parade 80s rock band – Koozie and Krumb Topping. • Stanky - a noun. It is the smell of a teenage boy’s locker room on a 90-degree day. For me there are few things more entertaining than looking up the meaning of words I will never remember or be able to spell. As I scanned the list it occurred to me there are a number of words I know that for some reason are not in the Oxford dictionary. (I checked.) I have considered sending them a list of useful verbals and nounettes to add next time. Here are a few. • Whack-noodle – verb, adjective, noun, gerund, pronoun, interjection, conjunction. Often heard during off-the-record phone conversations during political season. • Wieneeworst - adjective and intransitive verb. How my brain functions in the morning. • Fricasseed barf - noun, adjective, gerund. A Christmas food and how the Democrats and Republicans in Olympia described each other after the 2015 operating budget vote. I bet this is how Samuel Johnson got started writing his Dictionary of the English Language. Maybe I have stumbled upon a new calling, like a loud moo from across the field, followed by a light from above, or below, then a voice whispers in my ear: Write it and they will think you’re nuts. – Dennis Box, Courier-Herald

To the Editor: Webb explains PLC at Orcas School So what is a Professional Learning Community or PLC? One might describe it as an ongoing process in which educators work collaboratively in recurring cycles of collective inquiry and action research to achieve better results for the students they serve (DuFour, 2004). PLCs operate under the assumption that the key to improved learning for students is continuous jobembedded learning for educators. The PLC process is not a program. It cannot be purchased, nor can it be implemented by anyone other than the staff themselves. Most importantly, it is ongoing—a continuous, never-ending process of

conducting schooling that has a profound impact on the structure and culture of the school and the assumptions and practices of the professionals within it. The very essence of a learning community is a focus on and a commitment to the learning of each student. When a school or district functions as a PLC, educators within the organization embrace high levels of learning for all students as both the reason the organization exists and the fundamental responsibility of those who work within it. Members work together to clarify exactly what each student must learn, monitor each student’s learning on a timely basis, provide systematic interventions that ensure students receive additional time and support for learning when they struggle, and extend and enrich learning when students have already mastered the intended outcomes. In a PLC, collaboration represents a systematic process in which teachers work together interdependently in order to impact their

classroom practices in ways that will lead to better instruction for their students, for their team and for their school. The teams in a PLC engage in collective inquiry into both best practices in teaching and best practices in learning. You may recall reading about the dialogue I initiated with the teachers back in February about Professional Learning Communities, and what it would take to implement the process in the Orcas Island School District. It was agreed upon by administration and staff that the primary obstacle was the lack of a dedicated window of time for planning and collaboration. In an effort to overcome this obstacle and fully implement PLCs for our students, we have built a 2:05 p.m. release on Wednesdays into the 2015-16 school calendar. Every Wednesday, students will be released from school and buses will run one hour early at 2:05 p.m. The dedication of one hour each week to devote to PLCs will not add days to the academic calendar, nor will it take away from instructional time. Instruction only stands to improve as a result of a dedicated window of time for teachers to learn, collaborate, evaluate and improve the instructional process for our students!

Orcas man charged Coast Guard rescues stranded boaters with burglary by CALI BAGBY Assistant editor

by ANNA V. SMITH Journal reporter

An Orcas Island man is charged with burglary in the second degree after allegedly stealing $150-200 dollars and merchandise from the Orcas Island Golf Course. Valentine Matthew Ecklund, 50, has an arraignment date of July 24. Bail has been set at $20,000. According to court documents, Ecklund was recorded by the golf course’s surveillance video and identified by the responding officer. The morning of July 10, an employee of the golf course opened the store and found the cash register and tip jar empty. He called the owner, who then reviewed the footage from the night before.

According to the officer’s report: “He found at approximately 0205 hours a white male appeared outside the front door, and took some items from the lost and found.” Ecklund then opened a door by shaking it and popping it open. Ecklund was filmed taking the money, as well as sandwiches and bags of chips. “I was able to positively identify the suspect as Valentine Ecklund,” the officer wrote. “Ecklund stopped and stared at one of the cameras for some time, moving his head back and forth, making identification very easy.” Ecklund remained in the store for approximately half an hour.

Gill Dobbe watched as a boat ran aground near his home on Monday, July 20, at around 2 p.m. The boat was stuck on the rocks in the Fish Creek area between False Bay and Eagle Cove. Dobbe said that another “unmarked” boat came upon the scene and tried to throw a rescue line to the stranded vessel. Someone on board tried to catch the line with a large net but was unsuccessful. Eventually a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter arrived on the scene and was able to extract two people. According to the Sheriff ’s Office they were brought to safety in a nearby field. Dobbe said the boat went out of sight soon after the aircraft left. “Something must have happened to the boat,” said Dobbe. “It might have sunk.” The U.S. Coast Guard returned and Dobbe reported that two more people were lifted from behind the rocks. A total of four people were removed from the vessels. No injuries were reported.

Plane bound for Orcas believes to have crashed Wreckage believed to be of a Minnesota plane was found in Whatcom County on July 15. Search crews will need to reach the site to make official confirmation. Earlier this week WSDOT Aviation Emergency Services launched a search for a plane due to Orcas on Saturday. The private plane’s two occupants were on vacation in the area from Minnesota and they did not arrive Saturday. They did not have an exact time it was due to Orcas Island on Saturday – just that it didn’t arrive.

Sometimes in the summer, Orcas Fire and Resue responds to incidents involving a lawnmower – maybe a medical emergency, other times a mower catches fire or a brush fire is sparked while cutting. The culprit is often tall dry grass packed in the mower deck. Standard lawn mowers are not made for mowing fields, and dry grass may build up on the mower deck and get in the muffler where it can catch fire, fall off and then set a field on fire. Lawn mowers also cause fires by “rock strikes,” when a mower‘s metal blades hit a rock, causing sparks that ignite dried grass. It’s similar to starting a campfire with flint and steel. A good rule of thumb for anyone who needs to mow dried grass or brush around their homes is to wet it down first, mow in the morning or when humidity is higher, and avoid mowing altogether on hot, dry, windy days. Ideally, residents should start mowing close to their homes and work outward. Mowing first near the house creates a kind of fire break should a fire occur. Never fill the tank on a mower that has been operating and is hot. A hot muffler is capable of igniting the vapors. Once you’re finished

fueling your lawn mower, keep the gasoline container a safe distance from the lawnmower and wipe up any spills. Lastly, prior to performing any service, disconnect the spark plug. This prevents the engine from starting accidentally. Every year people are injured because mowers start unexpectedly when the blade is turned by hand. Other fire safety tips • Don’t use a lawn mower to cut down dry grass in a field. Hire someone with a

field mower to do the big jobs. • Remove rocks before you mow. • Maintain a “fire watch” for 30 minutes after you finish mowing to make sure no fires pop up. • Make sure you have a properly working spark arrester on all portable gasoline powered equipment, including chainsaws, string trimmers, mowers, motorcycles and ATVs. • Keep equipment clean and free of flammable materials.

• When welding or grinding in wild land areas, make sure you have 10 feet of clearance, plus a shovel and a water-type fire extinguisher at the ready. • Don’t flick lit cigarettes out of a vehicle’s window. • Don’t pull off the road into dry grass or brush in any type of vehicle. Hot exhaust pipes and mufflers can start fires. • Keep a cell phone handy and call 911 immediately in case of a fire. For more info, contact OIFR at 376-2331.

OPALCO FROM 1 unusually warm fall weather that dramatically reduced OPALCO’s expected revenue from kWh energy sales. OPALCO sold approximately 9 million fewer kWh than expected in 2014, resulting in $1,392,794 less kWh revenue than in 2013. NASA and NOAA have declared 2014 the warmest year on record since 1880. “Bonneville Power has 40 people who come up with weather projections,” said Olson. “Normally we calculate our budget of how many kilowatt-hours we’re going to sell based on their predictions, and we generally come out pretty close to what BPA is predicting for the region.” In 2014, those projections didn’t even come close for OPALCO and for other utilities in the region, resulting in large cost increases. OPALCO had budgeted in a 2014 margin of $1,121,998, but at year’s end that cushion was reduced to just $121,951. The 2015 budget aims to replenish that margin to $1,098,363.

So for its 2015 revenue projections, OPALCO tried a different, and more conservative tack: they based projections off of what Olson calls a “worst-case scenario,” or what happened in 2014. The problem, she says, is that actual revenue for 2015 has been even lower. In the first quarter, the co-op reports heating degree days (HDD) were 42 percent below normal, and kWh sales were down 6 percent, resulting in revenue of $551,276 below budgeted. Normally a cost of service study every two years has kept OPALCO’s rates on track to collect the revenues required, but the weather lately has been far from normal. Seattle-based EES Consulting has been advising OPALCO on adaptive rate strategies. A large part of the solution is a transition from directly use-dependent kWh charges toward fixed-rate facilities charges. In 2014, just 25 percent of OPALCO’s operating costs were covered by fixed facilities charges; the other 75 percent of the costs was dependent on islanders using an anticipated amount of energy. Over the

next seven years, OPALCO is forecasting a gradual shift in the rate structure so that up to 75 percent of the facilities costs will be covered by fixed facilities charges, leaving less of the cost burden on kWh revenue. Olson said costs are forecast to increase by 6 percent yearly during 2016-2019. Per current forecasting, the current budget forecasts meeting this increase through facilities charges, while charges for residential energy usage will stay at about $0.08 per kWh (ranging from $0.0852 ‐ $0.078) for the next five years. “A forecast is just a tool to help us project our future needs,” said General Manager Foster Hildreth. “The board will revisit the rate structure during our budget process this fall. We are listening to our members, and recent board discussions point to a likely shift in how we adjust our facilities charge going forward.” For the 2015 revenue recovery add-on, added Olson, “If we get cold temperatures coming in, we can put a halt to the add-on. That is a mechanism to be sure we don’t get caught short.” As for the purchase of Rock Island Communications and its impact on the budget, OPALCO borrowed $2.9 million at the end of 2014

for its start-up capital. The monthly loan payments will be covered by charging each of OPALCO’s 11,198 members $3 per month over 24 months (yielding roughly $806,256), in combination with revenue coming in from established network accounts. “In 2016, OPALCO plans to borrow another $3.1 million for start-up capital,” said Olson. “By that time Rock Island will have a more robust revenue stream and, despite compounding loan payments for 2015 and 2016, the amount of $3 per month per member will meet the need. Beginning in 2017, Rock Island Communications is projected to have enough revenue to cover their expenses.” Olson added that debt service on the purchase price of Rock Island Communications, just under $500,000, will be covered by the cash flow that came with acquisition of the company. A November 2013 an OPALCO board directive had already set the co-op’s course toward sharing its high-speed fiber optic infrastructure more broadly for Internet services. When Rock Island became available for purchase, the board saw it as a way to speed the process, as well as to greatly reduce its startup costs of hiring staff and developing infrastructure. “It created a quicker path to profitability, which minimizes our risk as a co-op,” said Olson. Part of OPALCO’s cost is $4.5 million set aside for up to 3,000 “construction incentives” of $1,500 per home to offset homeowners’ estimated fiber installation costs of $1,500 to $6,000

per home. OPALCO expects Rock Island to reach the “break even” point in 2017 at somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 connections, and at that point to take over funding its own expansion to meet further demand. OPALCO expects to begin receiving positive cash flow from Rock Island around the year 2021. Currently six neighborhoods are under construction; 226 locations are connected, and 80 neighborhoods are in the design process. An August 2014 an OPALCO survey revealed a populace ready for better internet service. The majority of respondents received Internet service through CenturyLink (over 60 percent) or Rock Island (18.7 percent). Despite its large market share, just 22 percent of CenturyLink customers said they were satisfied, compared with 64 per-

cent for Rock Island. Major factors were internet speed, reliability and customer service. Another major part of OPALCO’s overall financial picture is the need to replace 18 tremendously costly submarine cables over the next 30 years, and three of those in the next seven years. The most pressing is a 14,000-foot cable between Lopez and San Juan originally installed in 1977 for $3 million. OPALCO will replace it in 2017 at a cost of over $15 million. Hildreth expects revenue streams from Rock Island to help offset those upcoming expenses. OPALCO also plans to pay for the cable installation using a 30-year loan from the USDA Rural Utility Service, and to repay the loan using revenue from rate increases from 2015 over the following 30 years.

naissance.” The memo also added that Gibboney was incorrect when she referred to JT (Jennifer Thomas) as the source of the information on the wetland, though she is a state certified wetlands specialist. The PA memo concluded that after Department of Ecology wetlands expert Doug Gresham reviewed the wetlands in question, no further action was needed, but that “in the future, a written reconnaissance report should be received before a building permit is issued.” The county memo concluded that “the county did its reconnaissance for possible wetlands issues properly,” and that “the county has now spent significant resources … to determine that there was no improper government action on the part of County Manager Thomas.” No further action will be taken by the prosecuting attorney’s office or the county council.

The county memo responded by stating that an email from Director Sam Gibboney to Planner Annie Matsumoto-Grah sufficed as a report. The email read: “Annie – There is a permit application in for a property in the Portland Fair neighborhood. Supposedly one of the neighbors reported that there might be a wetland. Mike walked the site last night with a local wetland expert [JT] and there are no signs of one. So no need for recon.” The county memo reads, “Although we would prefer a more descriptive email be the department’s standards, Ms. Gibboney did provide a record for the file of her determination, based on the county manager’s recon-

Orientation for the Hearts Filmmaker to show and Hands program movie at Sea View Imagine yourself as an elder needing to get to town but being unable to drive. Imagine coming back from a hospital stay and being exhausted by preparing a meal and doing the dishes. Many of our elders face such challenges. Fortunately, volunteers from Hearts and Hands are able to help. Volunteers typically spend one to two hours a week with their match offering a friendly visit, transportation, light housekeeping, or simple meal preparation. While one might think

of this experience as a one way flow of service from volunteer to recipient, volunteers soon learn they also are enriched. There will be a volunteer orientation/training on Thursday, July 23 from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at the Orcas Senior Center. For those who are able to attend, or who would like more information, please call 376-7723 or email orcasheartsandhands@gmail.com. Hearts and Hands joined the Senior Center in January 2009 and has steadily received and filled new

requests for service, but they still need more volunteers. While the organization is looking for people who can offer regular service, it is also interested in volunteers who are only available on a part-time basis. Its mission is to “provide practical and emotional support to assist isolated, frail, ill, elderly or disabled adults to maintain independence and improve their quality of life.” Trained volunteers help with companionship, practical assistance and caregiver respite.

Market Day at Emmanuel It’s time for St. Agnes Guild’s 66th annual Market Day, which will be held this Saturday, July 25, on the Episcopal Church lawn from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Market Day is a major fundraising project, with all proceeds going to our Orcas Island community. It benefits local organizations such as the Orcas Island Food Bank, Kaleidoscope, Children’s House, Domestic Violence, Hearts and Hands and the Senior Center.

This year’s Market Day will again feature sales of homemade pies and other delicious baked goods, and a beautiful Silver Tea in the Parish Hall. Juicy hot dogs and refreshing sodas will be available outdoors at the hot dog stand. It is a great opportunity to look for bargains from St. Agnes’ attic on the tables of tools, jewelry, games, puzzles, CDs, books, household goods and other “treasures” for all ages on the lawn.

Howie and Heather Klausner lived on Orcas for six years, and after moving to Nashville, Tenn. they still have a “very special place” in their hearts for the island. The couple is returning this month to present a screening of Howie’s film “The Secret Handshake” at the Sea View Theatre on Thursday, July 23. There will be a reception at 6:30 p.m., followed by the movie at 7:30 p.m. and a Q&A afterward. Tickets are $10 at the door. Howie wrote, directed and produced the heartfelt comedy, and the Klausners’ three daughters (who attended Pea Patch, Orcas Montessori and Orcas Elementary) act in the film as well. As a first-time screenwriter, Howie found himself on set alongside Clint Eastwood, having just co-written the 2000 film “Space Cowboys.” He hadn’t been expecting Warner Brothers to pick up the script, and when they did, Howie quickly found himself an overnight success. Ten years later, his good fortune has continued, having recently completed the screenplay for a film on Ronald Reagan, titled “Reagan.” But he has also made his directorial debut that has taken the term “family film” to the next level. Howie not only aims to make films that the entire family can watch together, he managed to convince his wife to allow him to shoot his latest, “The Secret Handshake,” starring Kevin Sorbo and Amy Grant, in his own home in Franklin, Tenn. He also enlisted his three teenager

daughters to star alongside them. The film is about a fatherless young boy whose exasperated mother turns to a neighbor to help her son become a man. “Fathers are important,” said Klausner, who lost his own father as a teenager. “I think of mine everyday, and our relationship is definitely on the big screen with this movie.”

It’s the season for tansy ragwort by SAN JUAN COUNTY NOXIOUS WEED BOARD

It is tansy ragwort season again, one of the county’s worst weeds, and the plants are beginning to flower along roadsides, in fields and in residents’ yards. Highly toxic, its alkaloids are present in all plant parts. Cattle, horses and goats consuming either growing plants or tansy

ragwort in silage and hay store these poisons in their liver (Jacobs, J. 2009 USDANRCS). Even if symptoms are not noticeable, or appear minor, the cumulative toxins cause irreversible liver damage resulting in reduced weight and, possibly, sudden death in previously healthy animals. Tainted dairy milk can have an off-taste, and

anning is a great way to enjoy local produce from the farmer’s market year-round and it isn’t just something for grandmas. It may not take time, but it does take tools — most of it from the hardware store, and not very expensive. Although we usually think of pickles as cucumbers, “pickling” is actually a canning term that can apply to vegetables, fruit, or any food that undergoes the “pickling process.” What is the pickling process? Pickling is fermenting in a brine of salt, or vinegar. Pickling offers a flavorful and easy alternative to canning plain vegetables. They do not need to be pressure canned because they are prepared with vinegar which raises the acid content, thereby avoiding the problem of botulism. That is one reason pickling is a great introduction to canning. There are so many great recipes out there that you can find something that will remind you of summer all winter long.

contaminated pollen may make honey unpalatable. While horses and cattle will normally avoid tansy in pastures, it loses its characteristic odor when dry in hay, thus these animals are unable to distinguish it from the rest of the forage. Additionally, they can accidentally ingest leaves of the first-year rosettes when they are imbedded with emerg-

ing spring grass. Sheep are possibly immune from its toxic effects. Also, please be aware tansy ragwort can also cause human liver damage and should never be used as an herbal remedy or tea. Because of its threat to livestock, every effort needs to be made to find and eradicate this plant from pastures and hayfields. Tansy ragwort is easily recognized while it is in flower. No other locally common member of the daisy family has bright yellow flowers with thirteen petals (ray florets) and soft, frilly leaves, coupled with an unpleasant odor when crushed or pulled. Depending on the conditions, it may mature between a few inches to more than six feet in height. Mowing does not control Tansy. Plants will re-flower closer to the ground and, although normally a biennial, tansy ragwort will likely

become a perennial when cut. A study of 179 plants in Australia found 2 percent were annuals, 45 percent biennials, and 39 percent were perennials. The seed life is about 15 years. Tansy is best controlled by pulling the entire plant out of the ground, but it is critical to remove the flower heads—if present—before discarding the rest of the plant. These heads should be bagged and taken to the solid waste facility, where they may be disposed of at no charge. If the heads are left on the plant, the seeds will mature and re-infect

the area which is being cleared. This is especially important along roadsides where the flower heads and developing seeds can be picked up by tires and dispersed over great distances. Please remember to wear gloves when handling this toxic plant. You may see black and orange/yellow-striped caterpillars of the cinnabar moth, eating the leaves and flowers on some plants. If there are only a few found on the plant, we usually pull the plant and shake them off onto nearby tansy rosettes. If numerous caterpillars are defoliating the plants, we usually leave them alone. When ready to pupate, they leave their host plant, but, unfortunately, the plants can re-flower and set seed even if completely defoliated. For more information, please call the Noxious Weed Program staff at 3763499. Many thanks for all of your tansy ragwort removal efforts over the years.

The year of the cello Chamber Music Festival is back and ready to delight by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG

Editor/Publisher

loysia Friedmann says her annual music festival is the “greatest gift I can imagine.” “I get to explore ideas and express myself,” she said. “We wouldn’t be here without the support of the people behind me and this festival: our board, our board leaders, our executive director, our office staff and the entire community. The number of volunteers who still want to be a part of this is incredible.” The 18th annual Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival runs Aug. 6 through 22. Artistic Director Friedmann, who is a violinist and violist, and her husband Jon Kimura Parker, artistic advisor and pianist, welcome a long list of renowned musicians to Orcas Island every year. The 2015 season includes Grammy Awardwinning saxophonist Timothy McAllister performing music by Gershwin and Metropolitan Opera’s principal oboist Nathan Hughes bringing his warmth of sound to Mozart. Conductor James Paul leads William Walton’s “Façade – An Entertainment,” narrated by Adam Stern. “It takes someone who can really speak these words well,” Friedmann said. “It’s almost like rapping – the words are said quickly, to a rhythm.” Fresh from the recording studio, Orli Shaham and Parker will per-

form John Adam’s transformative “Hallelujah Junction” for two pianos. Audiences will be transported to Brazil as eight cellists fill the stage to perform Villa-Lobos Bachianas Brasileiras, with soprano Sharon Abreu. “This the year of the cello,” Friedmann said. The Bulgarian duo of pianist Viktor Valkov and cellist Lachezar Kostov are returning to the festival. Friedmann has coined them “the bad boys of Bulgaria.” Also coming back is one of America’s highest profile string quartets: the Miró Quartet. Opening and closing weekends will feature Rachmaninoff ’s music performed on two Steinways, pairing Parker with Valkov and Shaham. Also on the line-up are masterworks of Haydn, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Schönberg’s haunting “Verklärte Nacht.” Pre-concert lectures and Music Lovers Seminars are also presented for each concert pair. The programs feature highly regarded lecturers and guest artists. Festival musicians will also be performing free hamlet concerts at three community centers throughout Orcas Island on Aug. 16, giving guests an up-close glimpse of the festival repertoire. A Children’s Concert on Aug. 12 features the “Story of Babar,” and will be performed by music educator Rachel Buchman and Valkov. Students of all ages can learn focused technique through tune-up sessions and master classes with festival artists. An open rehearsal

for seniors on Aug. 21 is a special and unique behind the scenes performance – and a musical way to say thank you! Following the evening concerts, patrons are invited to attend post-concert receptions, where they’ll be greeted with cocktail cuisine and Thurston Wolfe wine, and the rare opportunity to mingle with the musicians. For the complete concert schedule and to purchase tickets, visit www.oicmf.org. If you have any questions, call the OICMF office at 376-6636. “This is going to be three weeks of great concerts, fabulous musicians and new and returning artists,” Friedmann said. “And even as we speak, there are events that are being developed for the festival.” This season also marks the first festival under the leadership of new Executive Director Leslie Rae Schmitz. “It’s been joyful to be the facilitator of this extraordinary music, talent and artistic vision,” she said. “There is such a commitment to ensuring that the festival remains a cultural centerpiece for this island.” Schmitz and Friedmann are thrilled to be continuing the legacy of the chamber music festival. “We’ve received some wonderful financial gifts and endowments, and we are going to be thoughtful in moving forward with those,” Friedmann said.

Program director Paul Freedman with Salmonberry students. Coming of age: a time to celebrate in the development of a young person, when we recognize the significant transition from childhood to adulthood. This kind of transition applies just as meaningfully to organizations. Orcas Island is on the threshold of celebrating such a moment of maturity in one of its beloved homegrown institutions, Salmonberry School. The school is on the verge of securing a sustainable future as an important part of the island’s educational landscape by becoming the last school on the island to own its own buildings and grounds. Through a tremendous island-wide outpouring of support and generosity, Salmonberry’s capital campaign to raise the funds required to buy its site looks very likely to become a reality. “We’ve always enjoyed tremendous support from our parents and alumni,” said Salmonberry’s Founding Program Director Paul Freedman. “What has been amazing about this effort is that folks have been coming out of the woodworks from all corners of the island community and beyond to support the school.” In 2001, Salmonberry School began as a handful of parent friends committed themselves to realizing a dream of creating a holistic educational alternative for their children as well as for the island community at large. The school became a nonprofit 501c3 corporation, as it continues to be today. Two years later, Salmonberry was recognized as an Approved Private School by the state of Washington. At that time it seemed inconceivable that one day enough resources might be squirreled away to consider buying the magnificent and unique setting in which the school is located on North Beach Road in Eastsound, but indeed that day has come. If you’ve never been on this little campus, you should schedule a visit. The campus consists of three charming small classrooms in two adjacent buildings nestled in the old homestead orchard of plum, cherry apple and pear trees of what was the Lavender family property. Among the hand-built structures are two play structures, a sandbox, a garden with split-rail fence, a swing set, and a willow dome building as well as a tiny log cabin, all built by the students and parents over these 14 years. The paintings on the cedar fence facing North Beach Road are testament to the years of students and their studies. “We’re more than 75 percent there towards securing the funds for our down payment,” said Freedman. “We have an agreement with the seller, as well as a lender. All that’s left is to finish this bit of fundraising.” This developmental moment in the life of this little preschool through grade six school is indeed historic. Salmonberry does not have the backing of an endowment, or any affiliated church or organization. This school is truly a grassroots project that was created by islanders for islanders. There has been 14 years of personal sacrifice, incredible volunteerism and a willingness by a sequence of community members to do whatever it takes to see this educational alternative survive. The school’s board is now seeking the final handful of donors who could help them to make the dream of property ownership become a reality. Having grown through its childhood and adolescence, Salmonberry School is about to enter its next stage of life, and take the reins for its own continued development. Those who are curious to learn more about the school or to help with a donation, contact the school by email at info@salmonberryschool.org or visit www.salmonberryschool.org.

Theater and music event Orcas High School Strings in concert at Emmanuel Actor's Theater of Orcas Island presents an evening of theater and music at Random Howse, on Thursday and Friday, July 23 and 24. A reader’s theater production of David Mamet’s short play “The Frog Prince” tells the old Grimms' fairy tale with a distinctly modern sensibility. Directed by Melinda Milligan, the play features Indy Zoeller, Halley McCormick, Tom Fiscus and Carolyn Fiscus. Music by The Daves, comprised of Dave Zoeller and Dave Parish (pictured at left), will showcase traditional, Celtic, original tunes and a few surprises all played on guitar, flute, concertina and piano. Doors open at 6 p.m., with music at 7 p.m. and the play at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 and available at Darvill's, www.orcasactors. com and at the door.

Tickets for Doe Bay Fest Doe Bay Fest is just around the corner: Aug. 6 through 9. Coordinator Jami Mitchell affectionately calls it “the little festival that could,” since it almost immediately gathered steam to go from a small happening in 2008 to become one of the most popular music festivals in the Pacific Northwest. Doe Bay Fest is now in its eighth year and has grown in popularity among bands and music fans alike. It hasn’t grown in size, however, since it is limited by the natural capacities of the land, parking and facilities of host Doe Bay Resort and Retreat. Capping attendance at about 1,000 people, Doe Bay Resort is happy to keep the event an intimate affair compared to other big name music festivals. The relatively small number of tickets does lead to an almost instantaneous sellout every year, which has historically made it difficult for locals living on Orcas to get tickets to the event. A great way for local islanders to get in the door is by volunteering for the popular event. By worktrading some time setting

up the festival or cleaning up afterwards, locals can get a free ticket to the whole affair. To sign up to volunteer on exchange for a free ticket, email Heather Watts at doebayfestvolunteers@ gmail.com. For locals interested in purchasing tickets, Doe Bay has set aside some tickets for locals, available only to people that have some place else to sleep on Orcas besides Doe Bay Resort itself. “We are sold out as always, and we really appreciate the support of our Orcas friends and neighbors,” says resort owner Joe Brotherton. “We actively encourage attendees to support our local economy, and we hope locals can also come out and enjoy Doe Bay Fest.” Orcas residents that want to buy tickets for Doe Bay Fest should email coordinator Jami Mitchell via jami@ doebay.com or call the front desk of the resort at 3762291. Tickets sold for $135 each but are just $95 for Orcas locals for the four days of music, and children 12 and under are free of charge. “It’s very family friendly, with activities for kids,

numerous local food vendors, and of course plenty of live music,” says Mitchell. The resort encourages car pooling, as parking is a limited and they do not allow any on-street parking for the event. “Our sheriff ’s deputies do a great job supporting a safe festival, and we ask you help them and our neighbors by parking appropriately in designated parking areas, and please car pool,” says Brotherton. To attend, Mitchell insists locals please plan ahead as the resort does not expect to have any tickets available for purchase during the event. Wristbands are required to be on the property, including eating in the Doe Bay Café, during the festival dates of August 6-9. For more information, contact Jami Mitchell at jami@doebay.com or call the Doe Bay front desk at 376-2291.

The Music Committee and Emmanuel Episcopal Parish invite you to join them at noon on Wednesday, July 29, for a concert featuring the Orcas Island High School Strings. They have received a superior rating for the last five years at the San Juan Music Education Association’s Strings Orchestra every March as well as at the SJMEA Solo and Ensemble contests in January. This year they took first place in a small school division at Western Washington University. Music educator Pamela Wright has been with the strings ensemble for five years. They are hoping the community will support their efforts to raise enough money to go and perform again with Disney Performing Arts in spring of 2017. Bring a brown bag lunch to enjoy in the gardens after the performance. There is no charge for the concert but donations are appreciated to help fund the scholarship fund.

Annual storyfest is back The sixth annual Orcas Island Storyfest brings nationally renowned tellers from across the country for three days and five events. • Tuesday, July 28: Pajama Tales, 6:30 p.m., Orcas Library (free). World of Stories, 8 p.m., Random Howse, (donation $10-20). • Wednesday, July 29: Wisdom and Wit, 1:30 p.m., Orcas Senior Center (free). Sacred Stories, Sounds of Spirit, 8 p.m., Emmanuel Parish Hall, (donation $1020). • Thursday, July 30: Red Altar, 8 p.m., Sea View Theater, (donation $10-20). This year’s storytellers include national tellers Motoko and Eshu from Massachusetts, Connie Regan-Blake from North Carolina, Eth-Noh-Tec from San Francisco/Orcas Island, the Eth-Noh-Tec Young Performers Ensemble from the San Francisco Bay Area and local favorites Tom Rawson and Antoinette Botsford. Storytelling is a powerful art form that transports lis-

teners to other times and far away places, and most times stories can bring you right back to the center of your own heart and humanity. Special this year is Red Altar, a multi-media story theater presentation that played to standing ovations in San Francisco. It is about six teenagers from China who shipwrecked on the shores of Carmel Bay in California, 1850. They

started the fishing industry in the Monterey Bay area despite anti-Chinese violence and legislation. This story of perseverance and courage in the face of racism is a common story even today especially throughout the West Coast. Sponsored by Eth-NohTec and the Friends of the Library, the Orcas Storyfest is a community endeavor.
