An Orcas man has been charged with trafficking in stolen property in the first degree, identity theft in the first degree and identity theft in the second degree. Brian Douglas McClerren, 35, of Orcas Island, has an arraignment date of July 31. According to court documents, clients of McClerren’s window washing business noticed on June 11 that he had cashed a check from them for $4,722.90. The clients recalled he had washed their windows in May, but that they had paid him $570 for his work. They reported to the San Juan County Sheriff ’s Department that McClerren had washed their windows for two years with no issues, and on that particular day, May 30, they had left the house to run some errands while he worked. McClerren admitted to the sher-
Will the sea stars ever be able to recover? by ANNA MEYER
Special to the Sounder
Touching sea stars sheltering during low tide will reveal not sturdy, sandpiper skin but a soft and pulpy texture with white and oozing lesions, its limp, weakened rays and strained tube feet unable to grasp at craggy surfaces. But what has caused such a gruesome change in our ochre sea stars? “We’re hopeful but not sure the cause for optimism is entirely warranted – yet,” said Dr. Christopher Mah, research collaborator at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Ochre sea stars, along with other asteroid sea stars, are suffering from sea star wasting disease, a terminal disease that quickly leads to the dissolution and death of affected sea stars. According to a study by the University of Santa Cruz, the sea star “melts” into a white mucuslike paste in just a few days. The slow degeneration and graphic death of several species of sea stars has drawn concerned marine scientists from across the nation to focus on the potential causes of this disease. The first major breakout of wasting disease was first noticed in 1972, when sea stars began to show symptoms on the East Coast. In 1982, stars in California began to decline, seemingly

also from wasting disease. Finally, in 2013, massive die-offs began to happen on both the East and West Coasts. Scientists began to study affected sea stars in depth to discover what was causing this unknown and disconcerting disease. Wasting disease showed signs of being caused by something microscopic and transmittable, like a virus or bacteria. This year, two years after the start of the outbreaks, scientists are releasing publications on a major causative agent of sea star wasting disease – a virus. A collection of marine scientists released a publication in December of 2014 showing that affected sea stars were carrying a densovirus, and that this was most likely causing the sea star wasting and die-offs. According to an article in National Geographic, a densovirus is a small singlestrand virus of the same family that infects dogs with canine parvovirus. The study showed that sea stars with more viral particles in their bodies were more likely to dissolve and die.
Since the disease is due to a virus, this means it is easily transmitted via water carrying viral particles or via infected individuals and is difficult to treat. Infected water must be treated with ultraviolet rays or otherwise disinfected to effectively abolish the viral particles. This means that there is no straightforward method for treating sea stars or outbreaks in the wild. Without a direct way to treat this virus, scientists are resorting to determining the impacts on sea star populations. Studies suggest that stress (from heat, unsheltered habitat or other environmental conditions) may increase the incidence of sea stars contracting the virus – meaning that higher water temperatures associated with summer may increase the prevalence of wasting sea stars. Although the major causative agent of the virus has seemingly been pinpointed, scientists are still looking into this disease. Temperature relations, species links and environmental factors are all still potentially factors in the intensity of wasting disease outbreaks. The viral factor is being treated as a piece of a larger puzzle. “There’s a possibility it could be very complicated,” said Mah. “Other invertebrate dis-

iff ’s office that he had taken two checks and a ring, and recounted what happened on May 30. According to the detective’s report, McClerren said he had been washing windows in the client’s office when he saw a checkbook. He stated that he took two checks from two different checkbooks from the middle of the books so that the clients would not notice the missing check right away. According to the report, McClerren said while he cleaned the mirrors in the client’s bedroom, he took a man’s wedding ring that was in a jewelry box in a cloth bag. The detective wrote: “Brian stated that he did not have a plan to steal the checks and ring going into this job.” According to the detective, McClerren then began crying during the police interview. On June 8, McClerren went to Burlington, Wash., to sell the ring he had taken and received $600 for it. He cashed the stolen checks, as well as the check for the ring. According to the detective’s report, when McClerren’s wife was interviewed she told them they were having marital problems,

For the second summer in a row the Orcas Christian School Saints will be bringing in Chris Hyppa for a two-day basketball clinic. Chris Hyppa is a WNBA amd NBA skills trainer. His mission is to inspire and impact players’ lives through the game of basketball. He trains thousands of players each year across the country. The basketball clinic will be on Aug. 30 and 31 with a bonfire on Aug. 29. There is a limited number of spots. The price to attend is $45. Contact Ryan Davis at ryandavisocs@gmail.com for more information. “My staff and I are very fortunate to
work with a quality program with committed players and coaches,” Hyppa said. “I was impressed last year with their ability to learn quickly, allowing us to challenge them and their attitude towards the game! We look forward to growing this camp and continuing to strengthen their program.” Last summer players benefited greatly from Hyppa’s knowledge and passion for the game, say organizers. “We had Chris come in last year and felt it was a great clinic or our kids,” said OCS Coach Ryan Davis. “We decided to bring him back this year and plan to make it an annual event.”

The integrity of the newspaper byline
W
riting anonymously can be a dangerous game. According to Michael Schudson’s “Discovering the News: A Social History of American Newspapers” bylines in certain situations can carry more weight. Civil War General Joseph Hooker advocated that war correspondents in 1863 use their names “as a means of attributing responsibility and blame for the publication of material” that he found “inaccurate or dangerous to the Army of the Potomac.” Of course this opens the floodgates to a larger issue of the military’s long-standing distrust for the media. Books have been written about this dynamic from the Civil War to Vietnam to Afghanistan. But I digress. The reason I bring up Hooker’s comment for our paper are the two words “responsibility and blame.” These are principles that we stand by. Every day as stories are published we are ready to defend them if need be. As for our editorials, we often subscribe to the philosophy of the Economist: our opinion-based pieces are a reflection of the collective newspaper staff from San Juan to Lopez to Orcas and the outer-reaching islands. In the words of Geoffrey Crowther, Economist editor from 1938 to 1956, anonymity keeps the editor “not the master but the servant of something far greater than himself … it gives to the paper an astonishing momentum of thought and principle.” And the names of our staff are clearly listed on page 4 each week. But when it comes to stories that affect our community, we assign that work to an actual person. A person whose phone number and email is at your disposal. In our small community we may not have a brigade of fact checkers and researchers but we have something just as valuable: accountability. When we publish stories we have to answer to our editorial choices at the grocery store, at theater shows and at the farmers’ market. We willingly accept this responsibility because it keeps us honest and makes us continue to strive for the ethical standards of journalism in a world that is forever changing. Unlike at the newsstands where one can clearly tell hard news from the tabloids, the Internet has infinite sites that have anywhere from the highest ethical standards to the reporting of blatant untruths and sensationalism. Perhaps in larger cities not knowing who is reporting the facts is less important. Who has actually met Nicholas Kristoff or Lindsey Addario? But we trust these people because we have watched their careers, and we know the stuff they are made of. Whenever I am accused of being biased, I ask that they look at my body of work and ask themselves if I have been fair in the past. We stand by our bylines and we strive to be ethical journalists. We ask for your help to navigate daily discussions from government to economics to the environment and the arts. And we always stand by our bylines. – Cali Bagby, Assistant Editor

To the Editor: Say “thank you” at the county fair I would like to personally thank the many people who work tirelessly, behind the scenes, to make the County Fair the huge success it is. For years, people like Lynette Cabrera (The Zucchini Queen), the Soroptimistticket takers, the service organizations who prepare those scrumptious dinners, and countless others have given up a week of their lives to make the fair the Crown Jewel event of the year. Say “Thank You” to them when you visit August 12-15. Oh and use the $5 parking across the street. That money goes to kids sports programs. Mike Buettell San Juan Island

This summer I have had the opportunity to witness the same thing from a young man from California who is here for only a few months and is working for us at the Orcas Hotel. His name is Jacob Charez. Jacob was eager to check out our skate park. No wonder. It is one of the finest in the country and was built with lots of community involvement, passion and collaboration. Over the years and lots and lots of use, there have been a few repairs that needed addressing. Jacob noticed it, and

Youth rally a great experience by ANTHONY KASKURS
I am a 17-year-old high school student who recently had the privilege of attending the Idaho ConsumerOwned Utilities Association Youth Rally. In order to attend I had to write a short essay and appear in front of an interview board from Orcas Power and Light Cooperative. I was selected to go as one of five delegates to Caldwell, Idaho where we would attend classes about electricity, types of power companies and what certain jobs were available in the power industry. I have to say I had a ton of fun. On the first day we arrived at Anacortes to meet the other delegates that were selected to go from the San Juans. Right from the get-go we hit it off as a group. Each delegate was funny, smart, caring and amiable – people who really reflected the values of our small island communities. As we arrived at the rally in Idaho, we were immediately taken to the bowling alley
Burn ban still on by MIK PREYSZ Orcas Fire Chief
This week’s update is to let you know that as much as we would like to we cannot lift the Burn Ban at this time. This decision is based on the lack of moisture in the underlying vegetation on our islands. In fact even with the welcomed rain, the moisture content of the fuels have gotten 1 percent dryer. We are in regular contact with the Fire Marshal and will advise the public if the ban is lifted.
where we started to get to know one another. It was a little strange being thrown into a pot of new faces, but after a while we started to relax and talk to others as if we had know them all our lives. Throughout the week we had dances, went to a waterpark and roller-skated, but the most interesting part of the week was the time spent learning about the various utilities of the Pacific Northwest. One class taught us how electricity is transferred from Bonneville Power Administration, the company where OPALCO purchases its power, to our home appliances. It was a really awesome and informative class. We learned about the different types of

I was fortunate enough to receive a $300 scholarship, and we began to say goodbye to all the friends that we made. Tears were shed, people were hugged, hands were shook, and many of us stayed up until 3 a.m., talking to the other delegates, sharing snapchats and discussing our future plans. I made many friends at the rally that I will try
to stay in contact with for years to come. I have taken so much away from this rally experience and will continue to push for more and more juniors to apply for this opportunity. In as little time as one week I believe I have become a more caring, open individual, and have learned that it only takes a little courage at one moment in time to make friends and build relationships that will last a lifetime.

CLIMATE FROM 4 to prepare for the coming changes as well as ways to cut carbon emissions locally, nationally and globally. The largest goal, of course, is keeping future disruption of our climate as small as possible by switching away from burning fossil fuel and turning toward renewable energy. Almost all of us use and depend on fossil fuel. It’s the system we were born into, and we don’t have much choice but to participate in the system, even though we can plainly see that the endpoint is somewhere we don’t want to go. The energy system ulti-
mately has to change from the top down, but since that hasn’t happened yet we have to go at it from the bottom and hope they catch up to us. More events are being planned locally to continue the discussion and hear from more experts in climate change and climate solutions. On Sept. 10 Nicholas Bond, Washington State’s Climatologist, will be coming to San Juan Island to give us an update on current climate science. On Oct. 23, Dr. Daniel Kammen will be speaking at Brickworks on Decarbonizing our Energy Systems. Gretchen Allison lives on San Juan Island.

Feast and famine – a look at unemployment trends by ANNA V. SMITH Journal reporter
June’s unemployment rate in San Juan County was at 4.3 percent, compared with Washington state’s 5.3 percent, according to a preliminary report by Washington State Employment Security Department’s Labor Market and Performance Branch. San Juan County has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the state for June, on par with Snohomish County and just a bit above
King County at 4 percent. Since May, predictably, jobs in the leisure and hospitality sector have increased with the tourist season as well as jobs in trade, transportation and utilities. Comparing employment from June 2014 to June 2015, the analysis shows that the professional and business services sector and mining, logging and construction sector have not added jobs, and have instead decreased.
We’ve been focusing quite a bit on large, charismatic, and potentially threatened species from the San Juan Island ecosystem in our Creatures of the Week. This week, we focus on something that is not endangered, not large, and not particularly handsome, but an interesting creature regardless. The plainfin midshipman fish is a small, unassuming brown fish of the genus of ‘toadfishes’, a group of squat, drab fishes that also includes the sculpins. Midshipmen have stubby fins that they use to ‘crawl’ along the ocean bottom. Their faces are froggish, with wide mouths, thick lips, and small eyes atop their heads. The one peculiarly delicate feature found on these fish is the photophores—small, glow-inthe-dark dots—on their bellies. But the most interesting thing about these fish has nothing to do with their looks. Plainfish midshipmen hum. Not a breathy noise that absentminded humans might make as they wander through grocery stores, but a deep, resonant buzz that has caused a furor amongst the houseboat dwelling residents of Sausalito and was blamed more recently for the ‘Seattle Hum’. This humming is a way for male midshipmen to advertise for a mate, attempting to out-sing other males in the area. Males hum for an hour at a time, which draws the females in for a quick courtship and irritates humans within a mile radius. If you find a squat little fish with drab colors (that may or may not sound like a bassoon), on the sandier shores of Orcas Island, you’ve likely found that kazoo of the deep, the plainfin midshipman.

According to regional labor economist Anneliese Vance-Sherman for the Employment Security Department, those numbers are the remnants of the recession. “In San Juan County where the recovery is lagging, these two are still declining at this point,” Vance-Sherman said. “Whereas in parts of the state where we’re in a more mature recovery, such as King County, those two industries are really taking off.” Vance-Sherman said that since San Juan County has
such a tourist-based economy, unemployment rates here are often amongst the lowest in the state, since unemployed persons are only counted if they are actively seeking work, which may not happen in the off-season if people work seasonally. “Even during the times there are fewer jobs available, we don’t really have a high unemployment rate,” Vance-Sherman said. “People aren’t looking for work because they know the rhythm of the economy. In San Juan County people know when to look for work
and when not to look for work because the seasonality is so present.” Overall so far in 2015, San Juan County has 170 more jobs than last year at this time, a 2.9 percent increase. San Juan County’s peak unemployment level was in 2010 at 9.6 percent. Vance-Sherman says that recovery has been slower in the islands, but employment numbers are consistently better than last year. Seasonality is a major factor in looking at San Juan County’s employment numbers due to the influx of workers. To illustrate how
much it affects the islands, when looking from January to August in 2013, the county added an additional 1,958 jobs, or a 43 percent increase. Vance-Sherman says this percentage increase is consistent year after year. “There is a gradual decline in unemployment rates, and in San Juan County there’s a lot of noise in those numbers because it’s so seasonal,” Vance Sherman said. “Our recovery has been very slow, but now we’re at the point where we’re seeing employment numbers higher than they were from the last year and every month.”
MacKaye Water special filing period The San Juan County Elections Office announces a special three-day filing period July 29 at 8 a.m. through July 31 at 4:30 p.m. for three MacKaye Harbor Water District commissioner positions. The special filing period is needed because no one filed during the initial filing period last week. When a void in candidacy occurs in a small water district not only are registered voters within the proposed district eligible to file but also anyone who is a registered voter in Washington state and holds title to land in the district is eligible to file. Those interested in filing for office will need to complete a Declaration of Candidacy found at www.sanjuanco.com/elections. Declarations of Candidacy are also available at the San Juan County Elections Office. The Declaration of Candidacy forms can be mailed to San Juan County Elections, PO Box 638, Friday Harbor, WA 98250, emailed to elections@sanjuanco.com or taken to the Elections Office at 55 Second Street, Suite A, Friday Harbor.

hit by this disease, further decisions regarding protection and management cannot be made with certainty. The University of California at Santa Cruz has reported areas with wasting occurring between 5 to 60 percent in areas along the West Coast. On Orcas Island, Kwiaht, a noprofit focused on the health of the San Juan Islands, has reported 2015 mortality rates for ochre sea stars at Indian Island at around 8 percent. The mortality rate may
even be lower than that. “Healthier stars are more likely to move deeper to avoid sun and heat because they are more mobile than sick animals,” said Russel Barsh, director of Kwiaht. He does caution that sea star mortality may rise somewhat during summer months when sea stars are subjected to more stress. Recent reports are hopeful, despite the relatively sudden onset of wasting disease and its complicated nature. Scientists at UCSC are reporting juvenile sea
stars in some of their study sites, and juveniles were seen by Kwiaht members on Indian Island this summer. Despite the signs of prospective recovery, scientists press for moderation. It is likely that there are several more factors at play than just viral infection: what those factors are still to be determined. Although hopeful, Russel Barsh counsels, “We’re not necessarily out in the clear.”

Kaleidoscope hosts ‘Brunch Cruise’ What it’s like to have a stroke Local preschool and child care facility, Kaleidoscope, is fast approaching its annual Brunch Cruise! Sunday, Aug. 2, Wes Heinmiller will Captain the MV Northern Light for a scenic tour throughout the San Juan Islands. Departing from Deer Harbor Marina at 11 a.m., passengers will enjoy 3 hours on this luxurious yacht, with great opportunity for relaxation and sightseeing along the way. Kaleidoscope staff will prepare delicious brunch bites for attendees to
enjoy, from Dungeness crab cakes, to fresh made mini donuts. Wine will be provided by Lopez Island Vineyard, accompanied by Island Hoppin’ Brewery ales, and an assortment of other refreshments.

First arthroscopy at PeaceHealth
Death notices Philip Greenawalt Philip Greenawalt passed away at peace with family at his side. A full obituary will follow.
Orthopedic surgeon Jeffrey Krusniak performed arthroscopic surgery on July 20 to repair a patient’s rotator cuff, the first surgery of its kind performed at PeaceHealth Peace Island Medical Center in Friday Harbor. An anesthesiologist from PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center flew from Bellingham on the morning of July 20 to administer the anesthesia and monitor the patient throughout surgery. Arthroscopy involves making a small incision through which a pencil-sized scope and specially designed instruments are inserted. The scope is attached to a camera, allowing the surgeon to view the joint area on a screen without needing to make the kind of larger incision associated with “open” surgery. The procedure does not require hospitalization, and patients typically have an easier recovery than they may have with open surgery. General surgery has been available at PeaceHealth Peace Island since December 2014 and orthopedic surgery since April of this year. “We’ve had great outcomes with our surgeries,” says Karla Veum, a registered nurse, perioperative manager. “People are happy and appreciate the convenience of having surgery close to home.”
Robin DiGeorgio Robin DiGeorgio, longtime resident of Doe Bay, passed away Thursday, July 23, 2015. A full obituary will be published in the future and a celebration of life will take place at a date to be announced later on.

On March 16, 2015, I awoke to a rather peculiar world. I couldn’t put my finger on why. I poured a cup of coffee and went into my study to answer email. I read my messages, but I couldn’t find the right computer keys to answer, and when I went to delete countless mistakes, it came out like this: ///\\\ rwt, and then –oopp[. Hmmm, it was going to be one of “those” days. I took my dog Lola for a walk. The world still seemed peculiar. A guy on a bike passed and said “Hi.” I said “Hi” back, but it came out “glmph.” Oh! That was strange! I went home and prepared a bank deposit. Weird. My signature didn’t look right. I even put an extra letter in my first name. Repeatedly. At 10 a.m., I announced, “I think I’ve had a stroke!” to friends. I didn’t really believe I had, but they insisted I go to the clinic. I phoned to say I was coming, but couldn’t dial the number. After five or six times, I finally got it. They told me to come immediately – but not to drive. I said OK, I’ll walk. It was three blocks. Dr. Bob gave me lots of simple tests, telling me to smile, lift my arms, push up with my hands, then push down, and so on to test where I was weak. What time was the stroke? I didn’t know; I’d been asleep. He said it was too late by then (11 a.m.) for treatment if a clot caused it, since you have to treat it within three hours. Understanding the cause is critical to treatment, he sent me to the hospital for testing. I was having a hard time finding words in addition to my goofy typing and handwriting. He said he thought I’d had a mild stroke in my Broca’s area, in the left hemisphere, which governs speech. A friend took me to Anacortes Hospital for a brain scan. There are roughly two kinds of strokes: clots and bleeds. Clots are caused by debris getting loose in your arteries, then getting stuck, depriving your brain of oxygen. Clots require medicine (tPA) within three hours of a stroke, which is why time is of the essence getting to a doctor. Bleeds are caused by ruptures of blood vessels that flood your brain. The brain scan took 10 minutes; we were on the 3 p.m. ferry home. Dr. Bob called the next day confirming my stroke was a bleed. I started medications immediately and increased my exercise to 45 minutes a day of walking, rain or shine. Four months have passed, and I’m almost back to normal. Problems with word-finding still linger, but people are kind -- and I’m trying not to call everything a “thingy.” I’ve always wondered what it was like to have a stroke; now I know. I know how your mind can work but your arms, legs, fingers, mouth don’t, no matter how hard you try. I know how simple skills can go sideways, suddenly. I know how important health insurance is. I know how generous my neighbors are to offer help unasked – and force me to accept it when I say “no thanks.” Most of all, I know how lucky I am that my stroke was mild.

Caution: cute animals by SHONA AITKEN Wolf Hollow Wildlife
“Mommy, Mommy! Look at the cute little baby fox. He looks hungry. We should give him a cookie.” There is no doubt about it, baby wild mammals are cute. Whether they are fluffy little raccoon or fox kits or delicate little fawns, they bring out the nurturing instinct in people, who then feel the need to get closer to them and feed and “care” for them. Why is it a problem to directly feed young wild animals? It is all to do with what they are learning when they are youngsters. At this juvenile stage their parents are teaching them skills that will enable them to survive on their own in the wild for the rest of their lives, and they only have a few months to do it in. If they are consistently and regularly fed by people, what do young wild animals learn? They learn to beg for food rather than to forage or hunt. They quickly find out that it is easier to sit and look cute at the side of the road than follow Mom or Dad and learn how to catch mice. But what happens when the summer ends and there are fewer visitors, or someone moves away? The handouts stop and the youngster doesn’t know
how to find natural food on its own. In the fall, young wild animals have to move out of their parents’ territory to find their own area to live in. What if there are no convenient human handouts available nearby? They learn to trust people and be less wary. There are a lot of people who do not like raccoons, foxes or deer. A wild youngster that is not wary of people is much easier to injure or kill. They learn to hang around roads and houses where there is a greater risk of being hit by a car or attacked by a dog. They learn to expect handouts so they boldly walk into yards, onto decks or up to people. Young wild animals don’t stay small and cute for long. Even people who like wildlife are not too happy when a pushy young buck or a full grown raccoon won’t
Wolf Hollow warns to not feed baby animals. Above: A red fox. Left: A fawn. take no for an answer and seems to be a threat to their children or pets. They are then labeled “nuisance” animals and don’t tend to live long, happy lives. It may seem harmless to give just one cookie to the cute fox kit or tempt the little fawn to nibble an apple right from your fingers, but how many other people have done the same thing? How long will it be before the little creature learns that people are a great source of tasty snacks and starts hanging around the house or the picnic area?
Contributed photos
Next time you are tempted to feed a cute, little, wild animal, take a moment to ask yourself why you are doing it. Does the little animal really need the cookie or are you feeding it so you can get it to come closer and maybe get a cute photo? Consider the bad habits you are teaching it that might get it into trouble later. What is best for the youngster in the long-term? Maybe it is better to leave its parents to teach it how to find food, and all the other important things it needs to know to survive as a wild animal.

It is a miracle that Chama is alive considering the enormity of the accident. But there is yet another miracle in her story. You may know that Chama traveled in a selfrenovated van ... and she did not travel alone. Her 13-year-old tiger stripe kitty Buddy was with her.

semi-truck in front of him. He knew it would be leaving soon. So he scooped Buddy up. He read the phone number on the collar and waited. And waited. He was on his way home in Salem in preparation for his next haul. He outfitted Buddy with all he needed: food, water, dishes, litter box, litter. Since no call had come in claiming Buddy, he thought he might have himself a traveling cat and named him “Summit.” Anderson’s phone could not receive calls as it was mangled and lost in wreckage. I am not sure how the password was retrieved but just in time the exciting message was heard and contact was made with a dear-heart of a trucker man named Dan Greene. Yesterday a friend drove down to Salem to fetch Buddy and delivered him and all his new gear to me. Buddy looks tired, maybe depressed, but knows he is safe and loved and he has quiet. Anderson’s brother will be picking Buddy up soon.

Island Living We are all WILD and PRECIOUS by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG
S
Editor/Publisher
teven Cadwell invites you to take a seat, settle in and talk about what it means to be gay, straight and everything in between. Cadwell, a therapist based in Boston, has been presenting “Wild and Precious” to audiences across the country. It is a multi-media performance with original songs, photographs, costumes, stories and poems. “It’s 50 years of gay liberation put into an hour and 15 minutes,” said Cadwell, who calls himself the singing psychotherapist. “It’s really exciting to be doing the show now because we have this very happy ending of freedom to marry. There is more work to do but it’s such a positive arc that my generation has lived through … When I was coming of age, there was no affirming name for being gay – just slurs: queer, faggot. To feel that we have accomplished what we have around integrating LGBT folks into more of the freedom of the United States is a very powerful, positive story for all of us to take in and celebrate.” The performance is on the Orcas Center main stage on Saturday, Aug. 1 at 7:30 p.m. There will be Q&A during an ice cream social from the Clever Cow Creamery after the show in the Madrona Room. Tickets are $25, $19 for Orcas Center members and $11 for students at www.orcascenter.org. It is sponsored by Orcas LGBT Fund. “The fund is really supportive of artists whose voices speak to the LGBT community,” said Orcas Center Executive Director Kara O’Toole. “Steven shares his story so bravely.” Gay? Straight? Bi? Trans? Still trying to sort it out? Audience members will feel as if they’re sitting in Cadwell’s salon during the show. “I’ve been really getting into these oneperson shows at the center,” O’Toole said. “When the artist has that much skill and

intelligence, it’s really a treat to go on that journey with them.” Cadwell’s story is one of love, of being marginalized, of letting it all hang out and of fighting for what’s right. He says the phrase that is said over and over from audience members is: “We were completely enthralled.” “Many straight men have come up to me after the show and talked about how they learned from my show how homophobic culture also constricted their experience of being a man,” Cadwell said. “It’s a show about community, music, nature and wordplay and exploring the fuller version of who we all are. I have a very optimistic story but it’s not without pain: homophobia, AIDS. I have ‘survivor’s gratitude’ and I want to tell the stories of people who no longer can.” Cadwell has been writing poetry and music for years and says making the leap from therapy to performing “came naturally.” “It’s all part of the expressive arts,” he
said. “Storytelling is core to being a therapist. Therapy is really a theatre of two: the client and the therapist.” The production evolved from a series of poems he wrote and performed for a group of feminists in Cambridge around the theme “What are you going to do with your wild and precious life?” It was so well received that Cadwell presented it to friends and later gave small performances all over New England at colleges and theaters. He then added piano music, singing and a visual element and has taken it on the road to Texas, California, New York City and now the Northwest (he will perform at Seattle’s Gay City on Aug. 6). Cadwell was born in Vermont in the 1950s and stayed in the closet until the late 1960s. “It wasn’t easy. I struggled in and out, in and out,” he said. “It was emotional and turbulent but ultimately it’s about integrating the full range of who we are. The ‘closet’ is not just about sex, it’s about feelings, passion and your bliss. Without that, how do you make decisions about yourself? It’s about the rainbow we each are.” Over the next two decades, Cadwell became an AIDS activist and earned a Ph.D. from Smith College. He is now a married family man and psychotherapist in Massachusetts, working with individuals and couples. Cadwell has written on gender, sexuality and shame, co-edited a book on psychotherapy with gay men and worked with caregivers overwhelmed by the traumas of AIDS. “Silence equals death, the slogan developed by AIDS activists, is a powerful description of being in the closet,” Cadwell said. “Most people have been in the closet in some way in their lives. Shame is not exclusive to any one group. It is part of the human condition. The metaphor of ‘being in the closet’ is something that most of us can relate to.”

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife estimates that some 6.8 million pink salmon will return to Washington’s Puget Sound rivers. Additionally the Fraser River in Canada is expecting a return of some 14.5 million pink salmon, many of which will be accessible to Washington saltwater anglers as they migrate through northern U.S. waters. WDFW recently built a web feature to help anglers take advantage of this distinctive opportunity. The website provides insights into fishing pink salmon in both marine and freshwater areas, helpful fishing tips, suggestions on access points from both rivers and coast, and information on where and when the pinks are arriving. The website is at: http://wdfw. wa.gov/fishing/salmon/ pink/.

Organist Marianne Lewis in concert Organist Marianne Lewis accompanied by oboist Karen Blinn and soprano Sharon Abreu will be featured in the Brown Bag concert at Emmanuel Episcopal Church on Wednesday, Aug. 5. Admission is free but donations are welcomed to fund the Virgil Cleveland Memorial Scholarship to send an Orcas music student to Drayton Harbor music camp. Lewis is a graduate of Lewis and Clark College
and University of Oregon. In addition to playing the organ, Lewis is a harpsichordist and pianist. She is currently the organist and choir director at Emmanuel Episcopal Parish. This is her 10th performance at the Brown Bag concerts. Blinn has been playing the oboe since high school. She currently studies with Joseph Robinson of Blaine, Wash. Blinn plays with the Orcas Community Band, and the Island Sinfonia.
This is her second appearance in a Brown Bag concert. Abreu was singing harmony by the age of 3. On Orcas, she starred in a musical comedy at Orcas Center and was a soloist for Mozart's Requiem and
Bach's Magnificat with the Orcas Choral Society. Abreu has performed several times at the Brown Bag concerts. The concerts begin promptly at noon so plan to arrive early.

Bob & Evelyn Hoffman live on a 12-acre farm between Snohomish & Monroe. They have been beekeepers for 40 years. For over 20 years, they worked as commercial beekeepers pollinating pear & apple orchards in eastern Washington & blueberries in western Washington. They owned over 500 hives. They do all their own harvesting, extracting, and marketing. The Hoffmans have been bringing their honey to our store for about 30 years: pure, raw, unfiltered honey, just the way it comes from the hive. We have a range of sizes to choose from. Come in to our produce department and find a size that fits your needs.
