Over the course of a week in the fall, Camp Orkila provides free swimming lessons for first through fourth graders. The half-hour, daily sessions are an opportunity for kids to learn a critical life skill. “Living on an island, we want all the kids to know how to swim,” said first and second grade teacher Lorena Stankevich. “And it boosts Susie Frank's swim lessons at the health club and Orkila's summer camp.” Five years ago, Orcas Middle and High School Principal Kyle Freeman approached Camp Orkila Director Dimitri Stankevich about offering a swim-
ming class for elementary students. Orkila partners with its YMCA head office in Seattle to bring instructors to the island for a week of water safety basics. The program, which costs around $4,000, is paid for by the camp's annual fundraising campaign. “It is so important for the kids in our community to be exposed to the water,” Dimitri said. The course teaches children some of the technical strokes of swimming but also covers water safety topics like how to wear a life-jacket and help someone who needs assistance in the water. The students are bussed over from the public school for time in the
Marijuana producer and processor NW Connoisseurs have begun the permitting process to move from their current facilities in Deer Harbor to Hope Lane in Eastsound. According to NW Connoisseurs Director of Operations Aarikka Tuss, the lease for their current building will be up soon, prompting the move. The I-502 permitted growing and processing business is currently set up in multiple buildings on a Deer Harbor rental property, but they plan to build one single building in the new location to house all operations. According to the conditional use permit application filed on July 31, the property is owned by Tusco Property Management, LLC and NW Connoisseurs will be the tenant under a long-term lease. “Right now since we’re in five separate buildings it’s a little bit more of an obstacle, because we’re going to and from each building,” Tuss said. “Meanwhile this is going to be everything inside one complete building, so it’s more efficient, better for being environmentally conscious.” The building will be 5,200 square feet without windows, and will

Orcas Film Festival is back for second year Editor’s note: Watch the Sounder for a special film festival section in the Sept. 30 edition. by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Editor/Publisher
Orcas Island is on the cutting edge of cinema. During the second annual Orcas Island Film Festival, viewers will be treated to award-winning, independent and studio films and documentaries from 17 countries. “The majority of these films haven’t come out yet – they are early views,” said Seattle International Film Festival Artistic Director Carl Spence. “It’s sort of surprising
how many amazing films we have. I am very impressed with the caliber of the line-up.” Spence says many of the films are Academy Award contenders and will be in the New York Film Festival just prior to their debut on Orcas. The Orcas Island Film Festival is presented by Orcas Opens Arts co-presented by the Seattle International Film Festival and runs Oct. 9 through 12. The films be shown at Seaview Theatre, Random Howse and Orcas Center. A full schedule of films, ticket information and more will be available at www.orcasfilmfest.
com by Sept. 24. “We are keeping the same format as last year,” Spence said. “It worked really well. But this time we have more top tier films.” There are a total of 30 films from places like the U.S., Canada, Chile, France, Iceland, Ireland, Iran, Jordan, Mexico, Spain and Taiwan. Some of Spence’s favorite selections are: • Dheepan. Winner of the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes, this powerful drama from director Jacques Audiard follows a former Tamil Tiger soldier as he flees from the aftermath of the Sri Lankan civil war to begin a new
life in a Parisian suburb. • A Brilliant Young Mind. This film is about a socially awkward teenage math prodigy who finds new confidence and new friendships when he lands a spot on the British squad at the International Mathematics Olympiad. • 45 Years. Starring British acting legends Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay, “45 Years” is writer-director Andrew Haigh’s immensely moving and nuanced portrait of long-term love and marriage. • Good Ol Boy, a heartwarm-

contain a lofted office. According to Tuss, the building will have selfcontained grow rooms to doublefilter the air before exhausting. The rooms will have carbon filters that will feed into a second carbon filter system attached to the building, which will then be exhausted through the peak of the roof. “This concept will eliminate concern for odor because there is no particulate matter in our exhaust air, such as smoke, and therefore will travel away, even with an inversion,” Tuss said. “Not only will we filter our exhaust air, but, we are also filtering the incoming air from surrounding businesses. This is to ensure product quality and purity.” Tuss said that their current location at 82 Lagoon Road in Deer Harbor does not allow them to make the changes they need. The business has applied for a conditional use permit at 46 Hope Lane and hope to begin building in the fall after a hearing date on Oct. 15. Public commentary for the project ended Sept. 16, which Tuss said consisted mostly of questions

Beth Moore event at the Orcas Island Community Church Are you living the life you were born to live? All women of our islands community, you are invited to come hear dynamic Christian storyteller and best-selling author Beth Moore via simulcast on Saturday, October 3. Free

FIBER UPDATE Rock Island Communications, a wholly owned subsidiary of OPALCO, has been busy installing fiber optic broadband to homes and businesses around the county. This historic undertaking will provide fast, reliable Internet up to 200Mbps to those who want it. We’re currently managing over 250 simultaneous construction projects countywide.

God. Her humor and empathy make every study personal.” The day-long event is an opportunity to build community with other women seeking a deeper life. Moore regularly speaks to and forges connections with thousands of women around the world from a wide range of ethnicities and backgrounds. She has authored dozens of published studies and books for women over the past 20 years. “She is absolutely relevant and current,” says organizer Faith Heath. “This is a wonderful opportunity to hear Beth Moore right here on Orcas Island.” Moore’s message is further explored in her newly released book, “Audacious.” After 30 years of teaching, Moore says she came to realize that her vision for women
was incomplete, writing, “It lacked something they were aching for. Something Jesus was longing for. What was missing? Well, let’s just say, it’s audacious and it’s for all of us. And it’s the path to the life you were born to live.” Copies of “Audacious” will be available for purchase at the event. The event will be held at Orcas Island Community Church from 9 a.m. to 4:15 p.m, and includes a 90-minute lunch break so attendees can “brown bag” it or buy lunch in town. All women are welcome, regardless of ability to pay. A suggested $15 donation will help cover costs. Pack a sack lunch for each child you plan to bring along.

New director for Sail Orcas Helping Hands Noramise Sail Orcas has hired Orcas Island native Hannah Tuson-Turner as its new sailing director. She will oversee all sailing programs, including teaching the adult learn-to-sail lessons, coaching the Orcas High School sailing team, serving as the head instructor for the middle school exploratory sailing lessons and supervisor of the summer junior lessons. This fall, they will be able to offer a full high school fall racing program. Tuson-Turner learned to sail with the Orcas summer junior lesson program when she was eight. She was a founding member of the 2002 OIHS sailing
team, went on to sail for the University of Hawaii and is currently a Level 3 U.S. Sailing professional coach. After moving back to Orcas this summer, her presence was immediately felt as she was the guest head coach for a weeklong advanced racing clinic, coaching 22 sailors from around the Pacific
Northwest. For the past year TusonTurner was the junior sailing program director for the Encinal Yacht Club in Alemeda, Calif, overseeing extensive year-long racing and learn-to-sail programs. Prior to Encinal she spent three years as director of the Half Moon Bay Yacht Club’s junior program, where she created community yearround learn-to-sail programs and a high school team. “Hannah’s involvement with Sail Orcas will help us to create sustainable programs for the next generations of Orcas sailors,” say representatives. “Welcome back to Orcas, Hannah.”

With electricity comes power. Not only the power to connect computers to the Internet, but the power to learn and communicate with the larger world. In the spirit of that power, last December the Rotary Club of San Juan Island awarded the Orcas Island nonprofit Helping Hands Noramise $8,300 for a solar project in Haiti. “You have exceeded the club’s expectations,” said a rotary member at a recent meeting where Helping Hands Founder Rosedanie Cadet gave an update on the project. Cadet started the nonprofit after being gone from her country for 37 years. She visited her homeland in 2009 just weeks before Haiti was devastated by the 7.0 earthquake that left more than 300,000 residents dead. She eventually founded the nonprofit Helping Hands Noramise in the northern town of Limbe, which provides social and developmental programs for income, pride and social activism.

power expert, designed the Haiti solar system, which can source up to 10 computers. There are five computers currently running. His systems are used all over the world from Mexico to Kenya to Tanzania. The solar panels were installed in March along with security cameras and a motion light sensor. When asked how protected the systems are, Cadet answered: “So far so good. The panels are still on roof.” The panels not only provide electricity but allow the Helping Hand’s center to power computers and classes. She hopes that once they have consistent Internet they can start long distance learning programs. Currently only boys are attending computer classes, but Cadet said she will continue to invite girls. Youngren also developed a grid system that can provide additional electricity from the panels to five households. Cadet hopes this will be one way that solar will generate revenue for the nonprofit. Future When asked what her
next project would be, Cadet said she will continue working with a sewing circle where they make cloth diapers and feminine hygiene pads. There is a shop in Olympia that will stock their wares. Her other goal is to connect elders and youth in Limbe. “There is a huge gap,” she said at the rotary meeting. “In between there is a lost generation because there has been so much misery and corruption. The elders remember that there was something else but the younger people don’t.” As for the Rotary Club, they continue to contribute some funds for maintenance of the solar system by a Haitian electrician. After more than five years of trying to build something for the community of Limbe, Cadet remains optimistic. “I am fortunate to call the San Juan Islands and Haiti my home,” she said. “They are very different and they are very much the same.” Cali Bagby has been the treasurer for HHN for the last three years.

Editorial
Accept I-502 into our communities
A
lthough San Juan County residents voted 68 percent to legalize the use and sale of marijuana to adults back in 2012, the actual implementation of I-502 has been rocky. In November of last year, Token Herb opened its doors on Crescent Beach Drive in Eastsound. It holds the distinction of being the firstever state-licensed pot shop in San Juan County. We weren’t aware of any public outcry. But it would appear that for the county and our island communities, selling marijuana is one thing while growing it is another. Marijuana producer and processor NW Connoisseurs will be moving from Deer Harbor to Hope Lane in Eastsound. Owners say there will be nothing to see or smell outside the sealed building, but response from neighbors has been mixed. Some feel that having a pot production facility near neighborhoods with families is “inappropriate.” See page one for more on this story. San Juan Sun Grown, a producer located on San Juan Island, has become the poster child for regulatory hurdles after it shut down operations in December 2014. Owners said the cost of looming legal battles and weight of regulatory uncertainty proved too much to overcome. The county hearings examiner overturned the company’s land-use permit and revoked its building permit, ruling that county planners erred by not adequately evaluating impacts of the facility on surrounding properties. The San Juan County Council has been getting pressure from the public to reconsider its approach to permitting marijuana-related facilities since I-502 was first approved. Common concerns are noise, odor, traffic and pesticide use. In January of this year, the council held a workshop to consider imposing a six-month moratorium on building permits for marijuana facilities. In a 3-0 decision, the council voted to disengage from its pursuit of the moratorium – but primarily because it would have also targeted greenhouses. In March, the Department of Community Development was tasked with drafting greenhouse regulations. The discussions included members of the San Juan County Agricultural Resource Committee and Health and Human Services and local farmers. It was presented at a public meeting in early September on San Juan Island, and members of the 30-plus audience voiced their frustration over the process. This week, the council announced it is putting the proposed greenhouse regulations on hold, citing public comment and more pressing land-use topics as the reasons. We are a county that is deeply rooted in agriculture. There are “open space” tax breaks for farmers, but we won’t support a potentially lucrative new crop because of noise, odor and traffic concerns? The smell of pot is less odoriferous than chicken or pig manure. We applaud the county in its recent decision to abandon the greenhouse regulations. According to Councilman Rick Hughes, the council is currently working on draft regulations for marijuana production. We are looking forward to seeing what those encompass – we agree there should be standards for grow operations. We hope islanders can accept this new frontier. It’s time to accept that the production and sale of marijuana is legal in Washington state. For a website that keeps track of marijuana taxes in our county, go to http://502data.com/. In regards to the new operation going in on Hope Lane, we think it’s a reasonable location. There is already a brewery and other light industrial businesses in the area. If parents are concerned, it’s a great opportunity to discuss with them the realities of marijuana (and alcohol) use.

To the Editor: Bikes are traffic I read with interest last week’s Sounder Editorial, “Road safety.” Although the well-intentioned message offered some sage advice (e.g., turn signals provide useful information), it hinted that cyclists may not belong on our roads, pejoratively labeling “bicycle riders weaving into traffic” as a “unique danger” akin to our local roadside nibbler, the deer. But unlike deer, bicycles aren’t unique dangers to traffic; they are traffic. According to the state Department of Transportation and Washington laws, bicycles share the same rights and responsibilities as cars. In Friday Harbor, many courteous drivers demonstrate an appreciation for this transportation equality and go even further, offering to yield to cyclists at stop signs even when it’s their turn (not necessary, but the sentiment is appreciated!). Our islands are filled with creative people who need to move from point a to point b. Whether we’re walking, cycling, driving, riding a horse, skating or hoverboarding, we’re not obstacles, we’re just trying to get somewhere. Let’s embrace our transportation diversity and share the road safely. Kyle Loring Friday Harbor
Jazz Festival thank you One thing that is certain, when Brazilians come to your neighborhood as well as purveyors of gypsy jazz, folks tend to break out in fever, common symptoms being song and dance, a truly infectious form of social well being.
I could not have imagined the Orcas Island Jazz Festival being so successful in its first year. One reason comes to mind, a core of great volunteers who stepped up to the plate: Joe Symons, Chantelle Hildreth, Jackie Daigle, Brian Weise and Anita Orne, the Orcas Center staff, Phil Burbo, Kevin Dickey, Jean Dickerson and Donna Laslo at Orcas Open Arts. Donors that also made this event happen, Roy and Laura Lundgren, Jeff and Mary Quinn, Cristine Connell Family Memorial, James Ford Bell Foundation, Win Rhodes, Richard and Diane Jordan, Frank Greer, Galen Burkhardt, Island Market, Dale and Jane Heisinger, Jim and Betsy Nelson and a very generous anonymous donor. We have already started planning next year’s Orcas Island Jazz Festival, thanks to all on the island who said “yes” to this year’s event.

by CARLIN HAYWORTH Orcas Island
I am a lifelong Orcas Island native, born here in 1985. I enjoy a very good, stable, government-regulated job working for Aarikka Tuss and Max Brand at NW Connoisseurs, an I-502 compliant marijuana producer/processor. I would like to share some feelings as an individual. The expression of the recent community opposition to NW Connoisseurs’ move from 82 Lagoon Road in Deer Harbor to our property on 46 Hope Lane in Eastsound has disappointed me as a local. Very, very few parties have contacted our business voicing their concerns to us personally,
visited our facility or even learned who owns the business and who works here. Nine of us work here, all locals and almost all raised here, and we all stand to lose our livelihoods and more if we were to be denied the opportunity to move to our new property. To have so much opposition based on misinformation and fear can be discouraging (especially to us kids who grew up here) and while we don’t expect every person to agree with the changing laws or with what we’re doing, we are accessible and contributing members of this community and are here to answer any questions. Our team has sacrificed immense time and effort to
build this company; tremendous funds have been put forth to keep up with the latest technology and comply with every government and county regulation that applies to us. We take pride in being a very transparent business and every member of our team would be happy to address any concerns or queries that people might have. This is new territory for all of us and we expect a certain amount of trepidation from some community members. I hope that the persons in the community who have concerns will consider contacting NW Connoisseurs directly for more facts rather than using misinformation to fuel petitions and hurt-

ful rumors. There is also a wealth of information online about the I-502 regulations that might be informative and helpful for those against our move to Hope Lane. I am very passionate about this company, which was founded by people I grew up with and believe in. For every concern we’ve heard through the grapevine, we’ve already had a plan in place to address it. We care about this community quite a lot and we would prefer to have an open dialogue instead of a battle from the beginning. Every business in this county deserves the respect of direct communication, regardless of personal opinions on any part.
Help OIEF bring art to the classroom The Orcas Island Education Foundation is sponsoring a wrapping paper fundraiser that is set to kick-off the week of Sept. 21. The proceeds from the campaign will go to support art classes in the public schools. With so little public funding, schools across the country are now relying more on private funds and patrons of the arts to provide creative outlets for students. One of the committees of OIEF is “A-OK” (“Art for Orcas Kids”). A-OK brings local artists to classrooms in the elementary and the middle school to inspire students and help them bring the visual arts to life through age-appropriate projects. Last year, students K-6 had 16 weeks of art class. “This year we want to ensure that our students have the same experience,” say organizers. This fall, OIEF has partnered with Innisbrook, a company that shares the
islands' community sense of environmental awareness. Up to 50 percent of every wrapping paper sale will go toward supporting art in the schools. All standard gift wrap is printed on premium recycled paper, inks are 100 percent water-soluble, and no cardboard cores are included to minimize waste. “The quality is impressive and there is convenient, online ordering,” say organizers. “Off-island families and friends can support your student's fundraising efforts.” In addition to incentives and prizes offered by Innisbrook, OIEF will award the top-selling class a pizza party. The top-selling student will receive a $50 gift certificate from Darvill’s Bookstore. For more information contact Janna Carter at jmcarter@wsu.edu.
Another successful ‘fifth season’ by ASHLEY RANDALL
Farm to Cafeteria Coordinator
Saturday morning, Sept. 12, marked the sixth Farm to Cafeteria Program Fifth Season event where five Orcas Island farms delivered organically grown produce to the school. Boxes brimming with chard, carrots, beets, tomatoes, garlic, pears, squash, potatoes, basil, green beans, cucumbers and plums from Taproot, Smiling Dog, Coffelt, Black Dog, Morning Star and hundreds of pounds of apples from Phyllis Heningson’s
orchard quickly filled the shelves of the walk-in refrigerator in the newly remodeled school cafeteria kitchen. Madie Murray and Debbie Guilford graciously greeted first-time and returning volunteers to the event. With prep stations set up, aprons tied on, and knives in hands, 10 volunteers from the community were ready to slice-and-dice, bag and freeze. In the new kitchen space, beets were chopped, tomatoes were sliced, and the new culinary arts room acted as the apple and plum station where apples were rinsed, paired and bagged
up with intentions of providing students with applesauce and apple crisp throughout the fall months. The three tasty varieties of plums required persistence as volunteers pitted each plum by hand. As the afternoon came to an end, conversations centered around how fortunate the Farm to Cafeteria Program is to have the support of local farmers who provide nourishing local goods and the community members who offer their time for the benefit of our island students.

SWIMMING FROM 1 outdoor pool. A 2014 survey done on behalf of the American Red Cross showed that only 56 percent of Americans can perform the five core swimming skills – that means 44 percent don't know basic water-safety skills. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every day around 10 people die from unintentional drowning. Of these, two are children aged 14 or younger. Drowning ranks fifth among the leading causes of unintentional injury death in the United
States. “Living in the Northwest, where we are surrounded by water, being safe on the water is a commitment that we make,” said Jan Bretana, who is the director of aquatics for YMCA of Greater Seattle. “Watching the progression of these kids from year to year is so exciting.” For the Orcas course, Bretana chooses her best teachers from the 14
Crime briefs Malicious mischief
On Sept. 4, a 51-year-old Lopez man was convicted of malicious mischief in the third degree, a gross misdemeanor requiring six months of time served and $3,011 in restitution. Evan Robard Thorp will serve three months in jail and three months on work crew. Officers first responded to a hit and run complaint on Jan. 20. According to court documents, the complainant, who owns an automobile mechanic shop on Lopez, said he had left a truck with the keys in the ignition for a customer to pick up after hours. The complainant said this was “a common practice of his as a courtesy to his customers.” The next morning the truck was in the same place but with damage to the front. On Jan. 30, Thorp called the complainant to tell him that he had borrowed the truck under the impression that it was his friend’s truck, and did not know at the time it belonged to someone else. He offered to pay, and the complainant told him it was in the process of being fixed and to call back the following week.
Thorp told sheriff ’s officers that during the early morning hours of Jan. 20 he had been driving to the ferry landing to catch a boat to Orcas when he “opened and shut his car door and slammed his finger with the car door when he closed it.” As a result, his car went into the ditch. He then used the truck, located at the mechanic shop down the road, to pull out his car, damaging the front in the process. The owner of the truck stated to officers that he did not know Thorp.
Attempted assault On Sept. 11, a 40-year-old Lopez man has been convicted of attempted assault in the second degree with a deadly weapon after entering an Alford plea. The definition of an Alford plea is that the criminal defendant does not admit the act, but admits that the prosecution could likely prove the charge. Christopher D. Stovall will serve four months total: two months of work crew and two months of electronic home detention. Stovall was originally charged April 24, 2014 for assault in the
branches that she oversees. “The instructors leave very enriched,” she said. “It's a neat, reciprocal program. Everybody wins.” Bretana says she would like to bring the teachers up several times a year and even offer sessions in the sound. “The pool has warm, controlled water,” she said. “The next step is to take them out in the ocean.” second degree with a firearm and rape of a child in the third degree, the second charge was dropped and the first charge was amended to an attempted assault in the second degree. According to the prosecutor’s office, recreating the timeline played a large role in why the rape of a child charges were dropped. Prosecutors say they had difficulties proving the age of the victim at the time because the alleged assault was reported years after the incident. In Washington, 16 is the age of consent. The initial charges stemmed from allegations of incidents in 2012 and 2013 between Stovall and the alleged victim. In the first meeting in May 2012, the two allegedly met at a hotel in Burlington where Stovall, then 36, gave the then-15-year-old a tattoo. According to the prosecutor’s sentencing memorandum, Stovall began to send the victim aggressive messages online, and she agreed to meet again. Also in that memorandum the two allegedly had sex during a second visit on Lopez. In the third meeting in January 2013 on Orcas Island, he began giving her a second tattoo, which ended, according to court documents, in him pointing a gun at her after she allegedly refused his sexual advances. According to initial charging documents, Stovall admitted to taking his .380 automatic handgun out of his bag and indicated that he fired the gun outside at the time of the incident. The state’s sentencing memorandum stated Stovall told the detective: “I was in love with her. I thought we would be together forever.” The documents said he admitted to pulling out a gun and that “she was scared.” According to the defendant’s sentencing memorandum, Stovall had alcohol abuse issues. – Anna Smith, Journal Reporter

Viking sports coverage by MARTY ZIER Sports contributor
On Sept. 17, the Lady Vikings Volleyball team began their season with a loss against league powerhouse LaConner, 3-0. “We started the regular season with a loss to LaConner,” said Coach Rebekah Hardee. “Bethany Hansen’s solid serving and consistent passing along with superb play by Katy Minnis helped us kept up with them in the first set. I was very proud of my girls, they played hard to the end and never gave up.” The Vikings play Friday Harbor, Concrete and Coupeville this week. On Sept. 19, the Viking cross country team competed at South Whidbey High School. “The kids have all improved and are a great deal faster than when we started off a month ago,” said Coach Steve Hohman. “We had five runners that ran their first mile under their personal season best: Millie Kau, Brother Murphy, Michael Chesher, Cyrus Amour and Stephen Hohman Jr. We hope to see improvement on a week to week basis.” On Sept, 10, the boys Viking Soccer team opened the season with a loss 4-0 against last year’s state champions, Mt. Vernon Christian. “We knew it would be a
tough and physical game,” said Head coach Matt Stolmeier. “We played well and maintained more possession. Unfortunately, about 20 minutes into the game senior Wylie Kau suffered a knee injury from a reckless challenge which put him out for the remainder of the game. Our defense proved strong through most of the game.” On Sept. 12, the Vikings won their home opener against Lopez 5-0 and on Sept. 15, continued winning with a 3-1 victory over Cedar Park Christian. The boys soccer team plays Shoreline Christian, Grace Academy and Friday Harbor this week. On Sept. 15, the Lady Vikings soccer team played a strong game against Mt. Vernon Christian in a 2-1 loss. A Hurricane corner kick lobbed in front of the Viking goal was knocked in for the first goal 5 minutes into the first half, but a Mt. Vernon Christian penalty in their goalie box lead to a Viking penalty kick by Adia Dolan, evening the score 1-1. With 28 minutes remaining in the second half, the Vikings let a Hurricane forward slip by the defense for the lead goal, making the score 2-1, but disciplined play by the Vikings shut down the formidable Hurricane offense the remainder of the game.

Despite the loss, it was a moral victory for the Vikings as the Orcas Ladies displayed one of the strongest performances against one of the best teams in the league. The Vikings play LaConner, Friday Harbor and Coupeville this week. The Vikings football team lost 40-38 in a league slugfest with Concrete Friday night under the lights at the Lions’ field. “We started out the first quarter with three turnovers, which turned into 16 points for the Lions,” said Coach Justin Frausto. “A Viking fumble recovery by Ricky De Anda turned the momentum for us which lead to a Miles Harlow to Cameron Aragon touchdown. After an Ivan Bullock fumble recovery, we drove the field scored on a Vinny Kramer touchdown run,

ending the first quarter tied 16-16.” In the second quarter Frausto said Harlow had a pivotal interception which led to a touchdown pass to Pasha Bullock, giving the Vikings the edge at half 24-16. The teams traded touchdowns in the third quarter. With about 3:30
left in the game, the Lions had fought back, but still trailed 38-32. But Concrete scored again with 54 seconds remaining and completed the two point conversion, giving the Lions the lead, 40-38. Undaunted, the Vikings’ hurry up offense moved the ball to the Lions’ 3-yard line, but fell just
short after a game ending interception. “Our team played its heart out,” said Frausto. “The game had everything; the ups, downs, highs and lows.” The Vikings play a nonleague away game this week against Tacoma Baptist.

Orcas Island Last year, four Orcas farms welcomed more than 125 people to their barns and fields. Organizers Charles Dalton and Kathy Morris were excited by the interest. This year, more than a dozen farms and farm-related businesses have jumped on the hay cart, with demonstrations that include sheep shearing, wool spinning, seed saving, and seeing worms at work in a worm bin building demo. This free, self-guided tour starts with a brunch available at The Kitchen in Eastsound, where you can pick up maps (or clip them out of the island newspapers) to follow the route to the farms, which will have colorful flags flying to mark the stops. Farms along the way – starting out by the ferry landing and moving towards town and out beyond Doe Bay – include Morningstar Farm, Warm Valley Farm will show how to spin wool from the sheep they raise. At Red Rabbit Farm, Christina Orchid will show her cookhouse kitchen and offer tastes of her perserves and sauces. If you are looking for cute farm animals, the residents of Orcas Moon Alpacas are the stop for you; farmers Amy Lumm and Jennifer
Pietsch will also offer a chicken slaughter demonstration, where $50 gives you a bird to take home as well. Historic Coffelt Farm will give tours. At Kai Dawg Farm, Caitlin Herlihy will talk about their new project Orcas Community Participatory Agriculture. See a sheep shearing demonstration at West Beach Farm. In town, Smith and Speed Mercantile will be open to share and discuss their hand-forged farming tools. Audra Lawlor of Girl Meets Dirt will offer tastes of preserves made from fruit gleaned from historic island orchards in her new tasting room. The tour then winds out to Buck Bay Shellfish Farm, where Toni Hermanson will talk about the process of growing and harvesting oysters and clams. Tours at Doe Bay Garden and Taproot Farm will then lead you to Orcas Farm, where George Orser will host a farmers’ potluck soiree. There will be Hogstone’s Wood Oven pizzas, a Lion’s Club/Island Hoppin’ Brewery beer garden and fun music to cap off this big day behind the scenes at the farms. The San Juan Shuttle will be available for $8 for the day, and will loop around to the farms. Car-pooling or shuttle use is encouraged. The Orcas Senior Center will also be offering a shuttle for seniors interested in attending the tour.
MARIJUANA FROM 1 about what the facility will be like. On June 21, NWC’s current landlords Corey and Sandra Cookston submitted a letter and photos to the public commenting process on NWC’s pending permit, alleging that the grow operation had devalued their property by not repairing broken windows and doors, having improper fencing, damaging the septic system and more. The letter was also passed out in tandem with a petition started by a concerned Eastsound neighbor seeking to stop the permitting process. Tuss called the landlord’s allegations “heinous,” and NWC employee Adam Parkerson stated that the photographs in the letter were “all opportunistic shots of temporary stacks of plant pots or equipment that may have been only there for minutes.” Contrary to the tone of the letter, Corey Cookston said that he is not against marijuana production. “We aren’t opposed to I-502 but we think it needs to be represented better,” Cookston said. “We haven’t had good experiences the last year and a half, and we feel the new location is really inappropriate being where it is at in a dense residential.” Amanda Sparks, a resident of the Hope Lane neighborhood, said she is concerned about the allegations regarding the former neighborhood. “I’m concerned about the impacts of a large scale operation so close to our neighborhood,” Sparks said.
Wednesday, September 23, 2015 • The Islands’ Sounder
“I don’t know how it will affect our community. I’m forming my opinion based on the information provided by the operation where they last operated.” Business neighbor Jenny Welch of Lotioncrafter LLC will be bordering the property that NWC will be moving to and is also concerned. “It has become abundantly clear more specific regulations need to be in place at the county level that address these operations and the by-products of their production,” Welch said. “The citizens have a right to recourse in the event these grow operations fail to control emissions, or otherwise impact the environment and their immediate neighbors, be they homes or businesses.” Welch has concerns that the smell will affect her business and that the projected amount of marijuana compost is a “gross underestimate.” Welch is one of 65 that has signed a petition circulating around the neighborhood. General concerns are that the state does not required NWC to regulate smell pollution, concern of composting of marijuana byproducts, increased traffic at late hours as recorded in the landlord report and the location of the business, which is near a neighborhood of families with children. The petition states the business should be on agriculture land away from neighborhoods. “As a business owner whose land borders the proposed building site, I am gravely concerned about the impact a poorly run operation will have on the future of my business and of this entire neighborhood,” Welch said. “Agricultural
operations of this nature are not light industrial by any means and should be in the countryside, away from residential areas and other businesses they can and will impact.” The new location for NWC will be next to Island Hoppin’ Brewery, Orcas Island Animal Shelter, Orcas Auto Tech, Lotioncrafter LLC and other businesses in a light industrial zoning area. Kt Hendrie, board president for animal shelter, visited NWC operations in Deer Harbor to speak with the business. “Once I heard there was not going be any smell or runoff I welcomed them as neighbors,” Hendrie said. Owner of NWC Max Brand’s family has been on the island for about 20 years, and his father Heinz Brand has owned multiple food service business in the area including his current business Enzo’s Italian Caffe. Heinz is also the sales associate for NW Connoisseurs. Tuss said that there are multiple misconceptions about the business, such as Heinz being the owner, that their current location is on Mount Baker Road and that they will be installing a greenhouse at the new location. Tuss said that there will be no greenhouses, and that there will be nothing to see or smell outside the sealed building. Since NW Connoisseurs is permitted for producing and processing only, there will be no retail operation or selling of product on the grounds. In addition, Tuss said that the move will be an example of a marijuana grow operation that isn’t in an agricultural setting. “As our operating plan, that’s not the way we’re doing it,” Tuss said. “We’re not a greenhouse, we’re not doing natural light. By going to a light industrial place, we’re trying to show that it can be agricultural or it can be industrial, it just depends on how you set up the facilities.” The county council is currently working on draft regulations of marijuana production. According to county council member Rick Hughes, since nothing has been voted on, no county marijuana regulation will be used on the NWC facility. He pointed out that marijuana legalization passed by 68 percent by voters in the county, the highest in the state. Journal editor Cali Bagby contributed to this story.

Program for autism launches Flamenco at Odd Fellows The Concerto Project has announced the launch of a $10 million capital campaign to fund the purchase of Mount Baker Farm and Scenic Railroad on Orcas and the construction of five homes for staff and participants. The Concerto Project started in 2013 to create a living and learning residential transition program in the Pacific Northwest. Its mission is to provide young adults on the autism spectrum with the vocational, social and practical skills necessary for sustainable living through a two-year program. In addition to self-advocacy, Concerto’s programs will teach young residents to modify their environments to suit their needs; to seek friendships that will support them; to develop the daily living skills they need to be healthy and settled; and to find gainful work that will sustain them. “The Concerto Project presents a valuable opportunity that helps to meet the increasing needs of young adults on the autism spectrum,” said Kristine Lytton,
House Majority Floor Leader, Washington State Legislature. “It will address a huge gap by providing vital services that develop the skills of this underserved population.” Mount Baker Farm is 80 acres and was originally a dairy farm. In the 1980s, Burton A. Burton and his wife, Rosie, moved to Orcas Island, where they transformed the farm into a unique wonderland that includes a full-gauge railroad that runs the perimeter of the property, complete with train stations. The site already includes a community kitchen and dining room, classroom space, meeting rooms, woodworking and mechanical shops, a huge barn, a gymnasium, a silo conference room, stables and paddocks, caretakers’ quarters, parent guest accommodations, and much more. By utilizing the existing facilities at the farm, The Concerto Project has reduced its original budget by $2 million. The Concerto Project will provide “a program for mid-
to higher-functioning 18- to 25-year-olds that addresses the gap between high school graduation and sustainable adult living,” according to the Project’s Executive Director, Marian O’Brien, parent of a 22-year-old daughter on the spectrum. Concerto is recruiting staff in occupational therapy, speech and language, medicine, nutrition, psychology, social skills development, vocational supports, special education, therapeutic arts and music, computer applications, graphic arts and intellectual property development. Executive Director O’Brien and her husband, Keith Whitaker, are hopeful that Mount Baker Farm is within reach of The Concerto Project. Informational sessions are being planned in the Seattle area. Concerto aims to welcome its first group of young adults in September of 2016. O’Brien can be reached at marian@concertoproject.org or visit the following for more information: http://www.concertoproject.org.
Savannah Fuentes will present her latest show, Northern Lights, at the Odd Fellows Hall in Eastsound on Oct 2 at 8 p.m. Northern Lights will be a presentation of Flamenco as interpreted by three very different artists: Puerto Rican/Irish dancer Savannah Fuentes, guitarist Bobby de Sofia, and, direct from Spain, singer Juañarito. Ticket costs are $20, VIP seats are $35, student/low-income $15, kids $8 and are at http://www.brownpapertickets. com/event/2253291.
OCS opens volleyball season The Orcas Christian School Saints Women's Volleyball team opened up their 2015 campaign against the Skykomish High School Sky Rockets at Skykomish High School. Despite a 3-1 loss in five sets, the Saints showed well against the Rockets with team wide contributions. Caitlin Fowler led OCS with six kills. Alaena Commrie added four kills and four blocks to the stat line. Moriah Clause ended the contest with three kills and one block of her own. Maelle Commrie contributed six aces and Amy Albright tallied five. “We did well with working together and on our rotations,” said Fowler. “But we need to improve on our
serves, calling the ball and trusting our team because volleyball is a team sport.” The Saints are in their second year as a WIAA affiliated program and play in the Northwest 1B conference. In their 12-game regular season schedule, the Saints
will play Tulalip Heritage, Lopez Island, Arlington Christian, Grace Academy, Lummi Nation, Providence Classical and Skykomish High schools. For more information about OCS sports, go to: http://goo.gl/sSf3nx.

Phone and Internet Discounts Available to CenturyLink Customers The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission designated CenturyLink as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier within its service area for universal service purposes. CenturyLink’s basic local service rates for residential voice lines are $13.85-$18.00 per month and business services are $22.35-$32.10 per month. Specific rates will be provided upon request.

‘Banned Books’ week at library
Join the Orcas Island Library as they celebrate the 2015 Banned Books Week. Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. Typically held during the last week of September, it highlights the value of free and open access to information. Banned Books Week brings together the entire book community – librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types – in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular. By focusing on efforts across the country to remove or restrict access to books, Banned Books Week draws national attention to the harms of censorship. Check out the frequently challenged books lists at the library to explore the issues and controversies around book challenges and book banning. The books featured during “Banned Books Week” have all been targeted with removal or restrictions in libraries and schools. While books have been and continue to be banned, part of the Banned Books Week celebration is the fact that, in a majority of cases, the books have remained available. “This happens only thanks to the efforts of librarians, teachers, students, and community members who stand up and speak out for the freedom to read,” say organizers. Stop by the library during the week, have a “Banned Book Brownie” and check out a banned book.

‘Harmony of Spheres’ McCune, Colomby to play in concert
Page 11

Roger Sherman will speak Thurs., Sept. 24.
Orcas impresario Roger Sherman will treat islanders to an Orcas Currents lecture on “Harmony of the Spheres: the Music of the Cosmos” on Thursday, Sept. 24. Encompassing music, mathematics, nature, science and history, his multifaceted presentation will begin at 5:30 pm in the Orcas Island Community Church on Madrona Street in Eastsound. Sherman is known to many of us as the Artistic Director of the Orcas Choral Society, which under his leadership has taken on such challenging choral works as Bach’s Mass in B Minor, Handel’s Messiah, and Mozart’s Requiem. He is also Associate
Organist at Saint Mark’s Cathedral in Seattle and host of the weekly Organ Loft radio program broadcast on KING-FM. In his Orcas Currents lecture, Roger will explore relationships between numbers and such diverse human activities as music, architecture, astronomy cosmology and religion. To ancient Greeks, the word “cosmos” meant the inherent orderliness of the natural world, which found expression in the mathematical discoveries of philosophers such as Pythagoras about geometry, proportion and musical harmony. This tradition in western philosophy has been extended by scientists such as Johannes Kepler, who in 1619 wrote Harmonices Mundi (Harmonies of the Worlds). It finds expression today in string theories of elementary particles and the “Theories of Everything” based on them. Sherman’s lecture is cosponsored by Coates Vineyards and the Orcas Island Public Library. Please join Orcas Currents supporters and friends for what promises to be a stimulating, wide-ranging talk about what it means to be human. As always admission is free but donations are welcome.
Come get cozy during an autumn evening of music on Saturday, Oct. 3 from 7 to 9 p.m. with Grace McCune and Khadoma Colomby. They will play at the Random Howse in Eastsound and will be joined by special guests, Violinist Joel Gamble, Corey Wiscomb and Kevin Dickey. Reservations are recommended. There is a $5 cover at the door.
L-R: Khadoma Colomby and Grace McCune.

Early days of Orcas Island Grange By: LINDA PETH
Orcas Island Historical Museum
In the early days there were eleven schools on Orcas Island. By 1887 three school districts were formed with the Central School in District 7 serving the communities of Orcas, West Sound and Deer Harbor. The original school building was in what is now the kitchen area of the Orcas Island Grange. The Central school was closed in the 1920’s when the districts were consolidated. The Orcas Island Grange was meeting in the West Sound Hall and the members decided they wanted to own their own hall. Ethel Auld was at the meeting. She produced a bar of soap from her purse and this was immediately auctioned off for 65 cents. This was the start of the building fund. George Keys went to see a number of men who intended to bid on the property, among them Frank Kerchoff, Dave Nicol and Jack Anthony. Since he intended to bid on behalf of the Grange these men all agreed not to submit bids. The building was purchased by the Grange from School District No.137 June 7,1938 for the sum of one hundred twenty-six dollars. On July 27, 1940 the Grange Hall was dedicated with distinguished guests State Grange Master Ervin E. King, Senator Leroy L. Todd, Skagit County assisted by H.P. Walrath, first Master also past Masters Chester Martin,
Culver Willis, George Keys with Master Amos Coffelt giving a short history of Grange life, which was organized January 19, 1931 by Bro. O.C. Wisner. In the early 1940’s the Grange increased the size of the former school with a 40 ft x 60 ft annex under the direction of Ray Pinneo and many volunteers. The new maple floor was ready for the “Hard Time” costume party “on Saturday evening October 13, 1945 to celebrate the completion of the community project for the jolly crowd of fun loving friends who helped make this much needed community playhouse”. In the mid 1980’s musician Terry Anderson and friends visualized a revitalization of the Grange for a Youth Center to play and record music, make videos and work on art, a home away from home. In mid 1990’s Bob Waunch of the new Orcas Community Foundation awarded money for materials to upgrade the rundown old building with a new look and enthusiastic volunteers descended upon the Grange. With additional funds changes were made and the teen center opened on Saturdays for four years. The Grange continues to be a community gathering place for plays, music and socials.

Orcas Island Farm to Cafeteria
“We want to give some organically grown melons to your school, and spend some time with the kids telling them how they are grown and how to save the seeds for planted
in the school garden next year.” Music to our ears! Those words were from Robin Shurtleff Coates and her husband Norman who, last Friday, delivered about 30 Crimson Sweet melons to our public school. They also spent two hours in the school garden with Mandy Randolph’s Farm to Classroom kids, letting them smell, taste and learn all about the delicious melons they personally raised on their organic farm in Humbolt County. “It was a great day,” Robin said. “It was definitely a highlight in the garden for the kids,” Mandy commented afterwards. "We’ll be sharing the rest of the melons and lessons with more of the Farm to Classroom kids next week.” Our sincere thanks to Robin and Norman for the many gifts they have given to our program. And having them actually participate with the kids was particularly special.
‘Whale of a Show’ is coming It is time for the annual Orcas all-kid talent show “Whale of a Show” on Saturday, Sept. 26 at 6:30 p.m. at Orcas Center.

Didier and his daughter Emilie have hosted the show since its inception
almost a decade ago. The enthusiastic audience experience for young performers encourages and supports their talents which include singing, dancing, skits, and musicianship. Family acts are included too. Several performers, Stormy Hildreth included, have been participating for years, while for some this is their very first time on
