When Emma Claire Sheridan decided it was time to make her entrance into the world, she couldn’t be bothered with things like ferry schedules.

She was ready. Now.With her mother, Linda,

sprawled in the backseat of a Toyota RAV4 at the Orcas Ferry Landing, Emma drew her first breaths before an anxious audi-ence of emergency responders and family members.

“I was actually a bit relieved (to give birth),” Linda said. “If our midwife cleared us to get on the ferry to go to Island Hospital, it meant at least another two or three hours of labor, and I was just about ready to be done with everything.”

Linda had been experiencing pre-labor contractions for a week, so when she began having a series of contractions at 9 p.m. on Sept. 2, she didn’t think twice about it. Her due date was still a week away.

“I decided to take a bath while my husband, Paul, and my parents, Dave and Sharon Toepke, were having dinner,” Linda said. “The

bath didn’t make the contractions go away, as it had before … at that point I had six contractions in half an hour, but I didn’t really believe it was the real thing yet.”

Paul called their Orcas mid-wife, Melinda Milligan, who was pretty sure it was the real deal. She advised the family to meet her at the ferry landing.

“It was a bit of challenge get-ting dressed and out the door while having contractions, but with Paul’s and my parents’ help, I eventually got there,” Linda said.

She had eight more contrac-tions during the 20-minute drive to the ferry landing. They arrived at 10:35 p.m., and Melinda per-formed an exam.

“She told Paul to call for the ambulance, because we were going to have the baby right there,” Linda said.

With Melinda coaching her through the birth, Linda went into labor with a group of EMTs by her side. Dr. Michael Sullivan, Orcas Fire Department’s Medical Control Physician, happened to be in line for the same 10:50 p.m. ferry. Sullivan, who lives in Bellingham, was on Orcas for a training session at the fire depart-ment. When he got the call about

a birth at the ferry landing, he was just moments away.

“It was a big comfort to have so many capable folks around,” Linda said.

Ferry landing attendent Kirk Troutman said the birth caused quite a scene.

“I stood back from the car and there were some pretty loud cries,” Troutman said. “It was an interest-ing situation. I kept traffic mov-ing, because everyone wanted to stop and look.”

By 11:15 p.m., Emma was born, weighing in at 7 pounds and 5 ounces. Emergency responders moved mother and daughter to a waiting ambulance. EMT Julie Remington drove them onto the ferry, which was on standby. Once in Anacortes, Dr. Sullivan helped the family settle in at Island Hospital, where they spent most of Labor Day weekend being observed.

“Linda is tough,” Paul said. “Everyone we have told this story to says, ‘yes, of course this would be Linda’s birth story.’”

Orcas Fire division chief Patrick Shepler says this may be the first baby born at the ferry landing.

“When I first moved here, I delivered a baby at someone’s

house, and I know there have been a number of births on the island,” he said. “But I don’t think it’s hap-pened before in the ferry line … it

sounds like it’s a first.”Linda says Emma was the sec-

And then there was one.The Department of Public Works has its

sights set on closing two of San Juan County’s three solid-waste transfer stations in order to cut costs and balance the budget of the solid waste division beginning next year.

Public Works Director Jon Shannon told the County Council on Tuesday that only the Orcas Island transfer station would remain open beginning next year under the depart-ment’s preliminary 2011 budget. If that pre-liminary budget is approved by the council as is later this year, he said those who live on San Juan or Lopez could either haul and dispose of their trash and recycling at the Orcas facility or rely on the county’s franchise hauler, San Juan Sanitation, to pick it up.

Shannon added that the department has been instructed by the county’s budgetary team, led by Administrator Pete Rose and Auditor Milene

Henley, to avoid what proved to be a miscalcula-tion in the 2010 solid waste revenue and spend-ing plan, and to submit a balanced budget for the year ahead.

“Essentially, that one-station model works,” he said. “We can’t balance the budget with three facilities.”

The council approved this year’s solid waste budget with the recognition that an additional $1.6 million in revenue would be needed some-where along the way to cover the cost of the operation. That anticipated shortfall remains largely unresolved and, despite this year’s fee increases and cutbacks in service, the solid waste division is roughly $630,000 in the hole.

Financed almost exclusively by tipping fees,

or the price one pays to dispose of garbage, the solid waste operation collected roughly $300,000 less in revenue in 2009 than it did the year before as roughly 2 million fewer pounds of garbage were disposed of countywide. That decline in the amount of garbage collected and in the amount of revenue collected has continued this year as well, according to Public Works.

Meanwhile, the council recently enacted a $5 fee that applies to “recycling-only” custom-ers with an expectation of generating roughly $240,000 in additional income.

Though the plans are on the table, closing the San Juan and the Lopez solid waste facilities is not a done deal. Public Works will meet with the council Sept. 28 to discuss three options, along with cost projections, for the coming year. At this point, those options include operating all three facilities, maintaining only the Orcas transfer station, and for the county to get out of running a solid-waste operation all together.

San Juan and Lopez transfer stations: is it over?

The men from “the Sandlot” conquered in Yakima last month, tak-ing down every team in their path to claim the Washington state cham-pionship title from the National Softball Association.

“It was awesome,” said player Troy O’Neal. “I played state before in high school, but as an adult, it was fun. It brought back memories of the competi-tiveness in high school. I had a great time, lost my voice screaming and having fun with it.”

The tournament hosted 13 teams, and the Orcas team, called “the Sandlot,” won five straight games to cinch the title. Each team had won three tournaments during the regular season to earn a place at the state competition.

O’Neal said the team is tightly knit from years of history together.

“We’ve been an estab-lished softball team on Orcas for six years now,” he said. “We know each other well enough to call each other on our faults. This is the first time we got a bid to state. We went to state and won it.”

What was the ticket

to fame this year for the Sandlot?

“We practiced a lot,” O’Neal said. “A bunch of us started in November, prac-ticing at Buck Park twice a week. Even when it rained, we practiced and practiced. We had a lot of help from other people who weren’t on the team who just came out and practiced with us, our buddies and friends on the island.”

O’Neal said the team is hugely grateful to the team’s sponsors: Bart Curtis of Orcas Construction

Company, Gary Sisson of Mount Pickett Cabinetry, and Jim Passer of the Lower Tavern.

“A big thank you to our sponsors: they’re the main guys that kept us going,” he said. “If it wasn’t for our sponsors there’s no way we would have fees for the state tournaments. Those guys … helped out a lot with jerseys so we could look like a decent team out

there, helped with travel, water and gatorade that we need to stay hydrated and keep going.”

Is closing local transfer stations the answer? Solid waste fee will

discourage recyclingI am writing about the recent

decision by the county to charge $5 for every recycling visit. If the goal is to encourage recycling, this is a big mistake. My situation is probably common. I accumulate recycling materials until I have enough to fill the trunk of my car, and then drop them off on a trip to Eastsound. Since most recycling materials are pretty light, the $5 charge is a sig-nificant fraction of what it would cost to just throw them in the gar-bage for San Juan Sanitation to collect. When I consider the fuel used to drive to the transfer sta-tion, and especially when I con-sider my time, it is cheaper to do just that. I have a lot of faith in the free market to determine what is most economical. If recycling costs as much or more than gar-bage disposal, it is probably a bad idea as far as conserving resources, when everything, including human resources, is considered. People will recycle for other than economic reasons if society encourages it and they think they are doing a good thing. The addition of a govern-ment-imposed fee is a very strong societal discouragement. Look for recycling volumes to drop consid-erably after this fee is in effect.

Youth’s bike run over by unknown driver

To the inconsiderate jerk who drove over my daughter’s bike at the top of Shady Lane last weekend: Perhaps your car was so damaged by driving over my seven-year-old’s bike that you didn’t feel that you should say anything. Even an apol-ogy would have been nice. As my 15-year-old daughter pointed out, you would have to be a very bad driver to not see the bike, or miss the expanse of gravel driveway next to it. The bike was parked next to another bike, a skateboard and a scooter next to a tree on a grassy area beside the gravel driveway. The bike is completely ruined, han-dlebars snapped, seat warped and

both pedals completely off. You must have noticed the damage but you drove off without a word or a note. I cannot afford a new bike at this time, and so it is totally my daughter’s loss. Shame on you for not owning up to the damage.

‘Cruise Into History’ event a success

Who knew? ... that Juan de Fuca was actually Greek? ... or why the impressive limekiln which still stands at Cormorant Bay was only used once? ... or that an odd series of events took place in these waters which sparked the 1850s gold rush?

These were some of the tales told by historian Tom Welch on the annual Cruise into History Tour last Sunday, circling Orcas Island in an afternoon on the comfortable and seaworthy “Orcas Express.” Dan and Denise Wilk of Orcas Island Eclipse Charters organize the event each year to benefit the Orcas Island Historical Museum and this year was a great success, with a sold-out 46 passenger seat-ing, netting $2700 for a good cause. Thank you for smooth sailing, great food and “a historical good time”!

United Way helps 4-HMy name is Jan Sanburg and I

am writing on behalf of the San Juan County 4-H Leaders’ Council.

In 2009 our group received a grant from the local chapter of the United Way. This money was used

to enhance our educational activi-ties program for the 2009-2010 4-H year.

During the past several months youth and teens from our county have been able to experience 4-H outside of our local county thanks to the generous support of the United Way. We have been able to provide scholarships that sponsored four members to the Washington State Teen Rally in 2009, seven members to the Whatcom County Youth Fair 2010, six members to attend the 4-H Summer Teen Conference at WSU in 2010, and we are currently accepting applications for the 2010 Washington State Teen Rally.

These out-of-county events are extremely valuable connections between the youth in our county and 4-H members in other areas of the state. They foster a sense of belonging to a program that is greater and broader in scope than what the individuals are exposed to locally. Attending off-island learn-ing events provides invaluable lead-ership experience, creates renewed excitement and a stronger commit-ment to individual goals.

As the president of the San Juan County’s 4-H program I have per-sonally witnessed the difference the funding from the United Way has made to elevate the level of qual-ity in our local 4-H program and also the difference this can make in individual members lives through their 4-H experience.

I wish to extend my gratitude for the generous members of the com-munity who support the United Way and help provide grants such as the one that was awarded to the

Editorial

Come January 2011, Orcas Island could be home to the only transfer station in our county.It would be a huge burden for our small island, and a sad day for Lopez, which has sustained the “Take it or Leave it,” a service similar to our Exchange, for years. Under Public Works’ preliminary 2011 budget, only the Orcas Island transfer station would remain open beginning next year. If that bud-get is approved by the council, those who live on San Juan or Lopez will have to either haul and dispose of their trash and recycling at the Orcas facility or rely on the county’s franchise hauler, San Juan Sanitation, to pick it up.Has the county thought about the potential for long lines of cars on the road, waiting to dump their trash and recyclables on Orcas? Cars are already spilling out onto a busy road during dump days; an in-flux of even more vehicles will be dangerous. In all likelihood, most islanders will be forced to switch over to San Juan Sanitation. But local contractors will either haul their site debris to the mainland, or make the trek to Orcas. Lopez is as proud of its Take it or Leave It program as we are of The Exchange. For decades, Neil Hansen has been managing the Lopez transfer station with a keen eye for recycling. We predict an upris-ing from the Lopez community if this budget is approved and the station is closed down. While it’s possible Lopez citizens could take over the service, a new location would need to be found. The solid waste department relies entirely on tipping fees (the price of disposing of garbage). The council approved this year’s solid waste budget with the recognition that an additional $1.6 million in revenue would be needed to cover the cost of the operation. Despite this year’s fee increases and cutbacks in service, the solid waste division is roughly $630,000 in the hole. The council recently enacted a $5 fee that applies to “recycling-only” customers with an expectation of generating roughly $240,000 in additional income.Councilman Bob Myhr wrote in last week’s Sounder:I am urging the council to reconsider the ill-advised $5 fee. To pay for recycling, I advocate further cost cutting and a small garbage rate increase ($1 per can and $37 per ton) which would affect everyone. It would keep recycling free, bring more revenues from the curbside haul-ers (that still pay 50 percent less the self-haulers), and would be much more likely to raise what is needed for the stopgap measure of raising $240,000 for operations.The San Juan Island Solid Waste Utility has scheduled the first round of a series of three public meetings. The results of the recent county-wide survey will provide the focus for discussion at the meetings. Check out the survey here: http://sanjuanco.com/swmp/meetingnotes.aspx or pick up a copy at the library. The meeting schedule is: Sept. 29: Orcas Island, 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., Eastsound fire station; Sept. 30: Lopez Island, 4 to 6 p.m., Woodmen Hall; Oct. 6: San Juan Island, 5 to 7 p.m., Mullis Senior Center; Oct. 7: Shaw Island, 10 a.m. to noon, community center. We challenge you to come to any of the above meetings and show the county new ideas, if you have them.

Thanks for great Whale of a Show

It was quite a Whale of a Show when children shared their talents and enthusiasm on the Orcas Center stage. The audience witnessed passionate musicians, sing-ers, dancers, hoola-hoopers, and a magician/illusionist.

Thanks to the wonder-ful audience who supported our island youth, Orcas Center for all they do to offer opportunities for chil-dren, all the volunteers who helped make it possible, the donors of auction items, and the performers who made us all feel so good that spe-cial night. While we don’t know the future of Orcas Rec programs, we do know the importance of children having opportunities such as this to pursue their tal-ents and interests and share them with our supportive community!

Didier GincigOn behalf of Orcas Rec

We need to keep Buxbaum on Orcas

What?! We, as an island community, are losing Dr. Evan Buxbaum? He is the only physician on the island specializing in the health care of children.

Are we losing him because of the failure of insurance, both corporate and govern-mental?

Apparently, we cannot look to either of these to improve things. Nor can we look to organized charities.

Change begins with tak-ing charge of our own health care at a community level. Someone like Dr. Buxbaum, with skills, knowledge and generosity of life’s work service to community, is a valuable resource. It would be a shame for our island community to lose him.

Please, we need the help of you folks out there who are stewarding the larger share of financial resources of our country. Please, help figure out a way we can maintain Dr. Buxbaum here on Orcas Island. This would greatly benefit the children of our island.

In a short time he has made a profound impact on our community and the health of many of our chil-dren.

Please! Now is the time

for a new model. A model where the successful capi-talists support and provide for the best interests of the community.

Our cemeteries deserve respect

We have three cemeteries on Orcas Island. The Olga Cemetery is under pri-vate ownership, while the Woodlawn and Mt. Baker Cemeteries are both being managed within a tax dis-trict. Woodlawn and Mt. Baker Cemeteries were established around 1890, and much care has been given over the years, mostly on a volunteer basis. The commissioners would like to remind the public that the district needs to be con-tacted about all activities relating to cemetery busi-ness. This will help us to continue to keep accurate records of all burials and headstone placement.

You may find informa-tion on Woodlawn and Mt. Baker Cemeteries in the ref-erence section of the Orcas Library and on their web-site. You may also send an e-mail to our current clerk at: woodlawncemetery@rockisland.com or by call-ing 472-1573. Should you have any information on the recent graffiti on Woodlawn Cemetery concrete wall, “HEVS, RIP,” please contact the Sheriff Department.

Cemeteries are a part of our community and a place of remembrance, history and respect. Thank you.

Gratitude to island caregivers

I write in praise of Orcas Island’s Emergency Medical services. When Dr. Geifer urged that my medical con-dition dictated immediate off-island hospital treat-ment, a call to “911” elicited immediate response. While I was far too disoriented to recognize all those respond-ing, I do specifically remem-ber the comforting words of Julie Remington and Pat Shepler. I was whisked away to UW Medical by helicop-ter and am now again home recuperating from a nasty bout with pneumonia. My deepest gratitude to our island caregivers.

CaO debate: bellies or buffers?

Is nonylphenol, a man-

made chemical that femi-nizes male fish, causing bigger bellies in people? A recent peer-reviewed study found excess fat in liver and fat cells exposed to non-ylphenol. (See: Wada et al., J Pharmacol Sci. 2007.) Such changes in fat storage lead to belly fat growth that is associated with diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

Nonylphenol is produced by incomplete biodegrada-tion of non-ionic surfac-tants. More than 500,000 pounds of non-ionic sur-factants are produced each year in the U.S. Non-ionic surfactants are in auto and household cleaners, her-bicides, pesticides, paints, deer repellents, and person-al care products (sodium lauryl sulfate is the main ingredient in most sham-poos). This is a partial list.

In fresh and saltwater, non-ionic surfactants bio-degrade to nonylphenol. Nonylphenol enters the food chain and accumulates in the fat of fish and other animals. In people, higher Body Mass Index correlates with more of this alien hor-mone in our bodies.

How can we reduce our exposure to nonylphenol? In contrast to the build-up of nonylphenol in water, non-ionic surfactants in vegetated soil can be com-pletely biodegraded by soil fungi and bacteria. By locating our homes, drive-ways, septic systems, and gardens away from our fresh and marine waters, the non-ionic surfactants can be completely biode-graded in a native plant buffer. The uneven surface and undisturbed leaf litter of a native buffer captures runoff much better than the smoother surfaces that peo-ple create in their landscap-ing. For homes on rocky land, bioswales can be cre-ated to treat the water that runs off roofs, driveways, and lawns.

The nonylphenol we are exposed to each day may seem insignificant. But, like one cigarette vs. a lifetime of smoking, the impacts add up. To protect human health and to protect wild-life, broad natural buffers should separate new homes, and their driveways, gar-dens, and septic systems, from our fresh and marine waters. Existing homes will not be required to meet the new standards in the Critical Areas Ordinance update, but homeowners may cre-ate bioswales to intercept non-ionic surfactants and other pollutants before they reach our waters.

Community donates kids’ hats

The Caps for Kids project is going strong, thanks to our generous community. Just over 40 hats have been donated so far, and almost a dozen distributed already. We especially need more smaller hats, baby through six years old. The drop-off basket is in the foyer of the Orcas Public Library, and will be there through the end of October. Thank you for continuing to help keep our kids warm! Call Anna at 376-3095 if you want more information on this project.

Possible solution for solid waste

I may be voicing the opinion of many others who have not yet stepped up to speak. I add my voice to Councilman Bob Myhr in “vociferously” opposing the recent decision to charge a $5 “gate fee” for those recy-cling (only), at the trans-fer stations. When there’s no fee to those also dump-ing trash or going to the Exchange (on Orcas), how much toward the $240,000 does anyone think will be achieved? Taking myself as an example, I may end up paying $5 every month at the most, or sending my recycle with my trash-dumping neighbor.

We need to feel we’re sup-porting the facility itself, and the only way I know to accomplish that is to have a fee for so many trips to the Transfer Station, wheth-er it be for trash, recycle or exchange. The privilege of using the facility should cost $75 or so for, say, 10 uses. As with the five-ride ferry tickets, anyone can buy the “ticket,” which then will be punched upon entry or scanned, going by a bar code as to the number of uses, and therefore getting around the copying syn-drome. As with the ferry system, these tickets can be bought over the internet, or at the facility. Tipping fees will still be charged by weight of trash brought in, in addition to the use fee.

The simpler option is to have the “pass” purchased as an annual use fee by any-one with an Orcas address, and sent to the user as a pass, usable by anyone who shows the pass at the gate.

Cost: $85+ or so per year or six months. Again, tip-ping fees would be separate.

My numbers don’t add up to replacing the short-fall, as I’ve not studied previous

LETTERS FROM 4use, county stats, etc. But it’s the idea I wanted to put forth, rather than just stat-ing that the current plan won’t achieve its objective. We know it won’t, and will only lead to eroding our good habits of recycling, conservation and care of this fragile environment in which we live.

Pet swap made a rainy day brighter

We all woke last Sunday morning to a gentle rain on the roof. It was still raining as we set up our tents, our swap items and our auc-tion donations. And it was still raining as we stood together under those tents and debated canceling. We didn’t. The event started at 1 p.m. and the day got bright-er. No, it didn’t stop raining, but a variety of dedicated souls showed up with bright smiles, donations, auction bids and a few dogs too! We talked and laughed and we supported the dog park.

The board of directors, and I dare say all of the users of the Orcas Off-Leash Area, are very grateful for the support of everyone who came out to our Swap and Auction on a dreary day. We couldn’t have had a successful event without

the people who donated pet equipment and the auction donations and services pro-vided by these businesses: Animal Supply Co., Blue Heron Bed and Breakfast, Bucking Doe Store and Studio, Canidae Pet Foods, Chappy’s Septic Service, Creature Comforts Pet Sitting, Crow Valley Pottery, Deer Harbor Charters, Deer Harbor Community Club, Islands Sounder, Liddle Assistance Dog School, Orcas Veterinary Service, The Outlook Inn, Pawki’s for Pets, Red Barn Pet Products and Tony’s Internet Solutions.

ond child Milligan delivered in a vehicle over the course of her long career as a mid-wife.

“The first one she deliv-ered in a car was in front of a hospital – not the ferry line,” Linda said.

Linda, who is coordinator of the Orcas Rec Program, is taking time off work to be with Emma. Paul is the director of Four Winds – Westward Ho camp.

Linda will go back to work for a few days in October, and then Orcas Rec is clos-ing on Nov. 1.

If funding for Orcas Rec is provided by the parks and rec district levy, which is on the November ballot, then she may be back at the helm this winter. But for now, she is reveling in her new responsibilities.

“I definitely love being a mom,” Linda said. “She gets cuter every day. She is getting bigger and stronger and she is really healthy. We are both just really excited to be parents.”

Agricultural plastics recycling this fall

In cooperation with the state Department of Natural Resources, the fire danger for San Juan County has officially been lowered from “Moderate” to “Low.”

As warm weather wanes and with the recent light rainfall, many San Juan County residents are start-

ing to think about autumn activities, like burning that pile of brush and tree limbs that they’ve collected all summer long. While the risk of a damaging forest fire is declining with the change in weather, there may still be a few warm and dry spells within the next several weeks.

With that in mind, resi-dential burn permits are not yet being made available.

Traditionally, burn per-mits can be obtained begin-ning Oct. 1 of each year, although the exact date is subject to weather condi-tions.

Up-to-date informa-tion can always be found at the San Juan County Fire Marshal’s website, www.sjc-firemarshal.org, or by call-ing the Fire Marshal’s Office at 378-FIRE (378-3473).

Who needs help paying their electric bill this heating season? The single parent who will miss a week of work when their small child gets the flu; the senior citizen living on a fixed income who had big medical bills last month;

the hard-working family with a bread winner who was laid off recently; your neighbor who is slowly falling behind on bills and can’t find any more corners to cut; and the small business owner of a store you frequent who has been hard hit by the economy.

Times are tough and winter heating bills can add up quickly. Staying warm is a basic need that we all share and that’s why OPALCO’s Project PAL is designed to let co-op members help fellow co-op members get through the tougher winter months. OPALCO members support Project PAL by making “Round Up” donations, rounding up their monthly bill amount. To donate, check the “Round Up” box on your bill, or call the office at 376-3500 to sign up or make a one-time dona-tion. Businesses can support PAL with regular or matching donations, or by becoming a PAL Busi-ness Sponsor. It’s a great way to show your customers that you care about the community.

Last year’s tough economy and cold winter depleted our PAL funding: between October 2009 and April 2010 we had 242 applicants with PAL grants totaling $37,130. We anticipate another busy PAL season and hope to get enough donations to meet the need.

An independent council of OPALCO members receives applications from those in need and makes funding decisions on a monthly basis from October through April. The Council voted to increase the eligibility this year to a family income level of up to 200% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines so that more members can have access to a helping hand. Applications are available at www.opalco.com or may be picked up at OPALCO offices.

As co-op members, we can work together to make sure everyone stays warm this winter!

County Health Officer Frank James, M.D. is asking parents of pre-school and school-aged children to check their children’s vac-cination records and be alert for the symp-toms of whooping cough, clinically known as Pertussis.

This summer the health department iden-tified three clusters of confirmed cases on Orcas and San Juan Islands, and there have been two recent infant deaths elsewhere in Washington state. In California, nine young children have died and more than 4,000 infections have been recorded this year, the most in more than a half century.

Children are most susceptible to per-tussis, showing symptoms of spasmodic coughing, gasping for breath and vomiting. The disease is considered highly communi-cable, but a vaccine does provide protection. Dr. James asks parents who suspect their

child may have pertussis to keep their child at home and contact their health care pro-vider to schedule an evaluation.

All of the fatal California cases occurred in babies too young to be fully immunized against the illness, which is why parents and caretakers are being urged to get booster shots. Typically, babies are given a series of vaccinations, then receive booster shots between ages four and six. Protection from those initial vaccinations fades over time, so health officials say anyone over the age of 11 who has not had a tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis booster shot, should get one as soon as possible. Dr. James urges residents of all ages to make sure that their vaccina-tions are up to date and asks anyone with a cough or cold-like symptoms to avoid con-tact with young children. Call the Health Department at 378-4474 with questions.

County health department issues whooping cough alert

Job cuts. Employee fur-loughs. Reduced office hours.

In an era of economic upheaval, public agencies are pinching pennies like never before.

But at the headquarters of the San Juan County Conservation District, they’re breathing a little eas-ier knowing there’s a decade worth of dedicated funding in store.

In a unanimous decision, the County Council on Aug. 31 approved renewing a $5 parcel fee that’s helped to bolster the district’s finan-cial outlook the past five years and, at the request of the district’s board of super-visors, agreed as well as to double – from five to 10 years – the duration that the fee will remain in effect.

Also known as a prop-erty assessment, that fee is expected to generate roughly $75,000 in 2010, or about one-third of the dis-trict’s budgeted expenses. It accounted for roughly 50 percent of those expenses a year ago, but covered only about 25 percent the year before, according to district Supervisor Vicki Heater.

The district cut expenses through layoffs and attri-tion over the past two years and began this year with one full-time and two part-time employees. There were three full-time and four part-time employees on its payroll prior to 2008.

The $5 fee was first enact-

ed in 2005. Unlike a prop-erty tax, that fee is not tied to the value of a particular property. Properties clas-sified as “designated forest land” pay 10 percent of the assessment, or 50 cents.

According to Administrator Pete Rose, a recently revised budget sub-mitted by district officials shows it will use $17,500 of the revenue generated by the fee on the technical assistance it provides land owners, $17,500 towards its incentive programs and about $38,000 on overhead and basic costs to “keep the lights”.

Though it pays for only a portion of the district’s expenses, Heater, along with several others who tes-tified at the Aug. 31 public hearing, noted the fee and the revenue it generates acts as a financial backstop and allows the agency to pursue and secure other sources of funding, such as state, fed-eral and private grants.

By joining forces, WSU Extension Agent Tom Schultz said the local exten-sion office and the conser-vation district have made significant strides in helping property owners improve the use of their land and in protecting the islands’ natu-ral resources even though the two agencies are rela-tively small by themselves.

“Together we’re able to do more collectively than we’re able to do individu-ally,” Schultz said.

Established in 1947, the San Juan County

Conservation District is one of 48 conservation dis-tricts in Washington. It pro-vides technical assistance to property owners to help conserve and protect natu-ral resources, such as soil, water and natural habitat. District programs include detailed planning for for-ests and farms, restoration of Garry Oak habitat, soil surveys, low-impact devel-opment and the protection and restoration of estuar-ies. Renowned for its annual plant sale, the district is an independent, non-regular-tory agency governed by a locally elected Board of Supervisors.

Eastsound’s Sunflower Café is folding its petals alongside the other blooms of summer, much to the dis-may of patrons who drop in on foggy mornings for a cuppa joe, a treat and a wee blether with the townsfolk.

“If we cannot put the proper energy into the café and keep it good, we don’t want to keep it open,” said proprietor David Johnson.

He said he and his wife Heather are closing the cafe in part due to a lean sum-mer, and also because they’re a sandwich generation, with both kids and parents at home right now.

In addition, David accept-ed a job as facilities manager for the Orcas schools, which has left Heather alone to staff the counter at the cafe. When things get busy, he’s not available to lend a hand anymore.

“I have made a commit-ment to the school district to do my best, and if you know

anything about the Johnsons – if we say we’re going to do anything, we do it,” David said. “We’re closing now, because why lose money during the wintertime? As the Sunflower, we’re going out on top, because we will not let ourselves be sucked into owing people money. We don’t owe any of our vendors anything. I’m paid up full. When you look at the grand scheme of things, you’ve just got to know when it’s time to stop, and you’re still coming out on top, because you’re not hurting anyone else.”

The Johnsons purchased the cafe in 2007 from Julie and Christian Hogle. Their lease on the building won’t be up until June, so the Johnsons are looking for a tenant to fill the place.

“We tried to sell (the Sunflower Cafe); we were hoping someone would buy it and keep the same flavor,” said David. “Two dedicated people can make a go of it; we did it for a few years.

We’ve had fabulous guests who come back every year, some we see almost every day. I’m gonna miss the peo-ple that come in, the inter-action ... I’m a very social creature, so when people come in, I’ll sit down and talk to them, and Heather’s like, ‘C’mon David, get back to work!’”

Heather, a former zoo-keeper, has accepted a position on the board of Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. The couple’s two children, Bailey (a freshman) and Sydney (a third grader), will continue attending school on Orcas.

The Sunflower’s last day will be Sept. 25, the Johnsons’ wedding anniversary.

“It’ll be a bittersweet day,” David said. “Hopefully all our friends will come in and say goodbye to us. We have a guest book, we’d love it if people could sign, what the café was for them. We wish it was a different way, we wish we didn’t have to, but it is what it is.”

Aggressive play and goals by Clara Brand and Megan Goudie propelled the Friday Harbor Wolverines to a 3-0 win over the Orcas Vikings, Tuesday at Orcas. The Vikings played with high intensity, but the Wolverines outplayed them, doing an excellent job keep-ing the ball on their half of the field throughout the game and firing numerous shots on goal, team manager Madi McPadden reported.

Vikings football dominates by BOB PHALAN

Special to the Sounder

The Orcas Vikings foot-ball team improved to 3-0 on the season while wrap-ping up their non-league schedule at home on Saturday, Sept. 18 with a 42-7 victory over Division 3A Lakeside Lions, mem-bers of the Metro League in Seattle.

“I’m really thrilled about our guys stepping up and playing with heart and pas-sion,” said head coach Scott Harris.

The Vikings followed up their stunning 21-6 win over Friday Harbor in last week’s Island Cup game with another rock solid team effort. The Orcas offensive line dominated the game by ripping holes in the Lions

defense, which allowed the running backs to amass 456 yards rushing. Seniors Jacob Hansen and Michael Langworthy once again led the way with Hansen exploding for 200 yards on the ground and one touch-down while Langworthy busted through for three touchdowns and 133 yards rushing. Underclassmen Eli Jones, Ty-Shawn Villers, Josh Lawson and Aubrey Schermerhorn all added to the offense in the well rounded victory. Villers and Schermerhorn both con-tributed touchdown runs as well. Sophomore Daniel Briggs started his first var-sity game at QB filling in for injured starter Robbie Padbury. Sophomore Devon Stanzione and

freshman Wayne Foster scored the first points of their careers for the varsity squad. Stanzione caught a two point conversion from Briggs while Foster booted two extra points.

“They are an exciting team to watch,” Harris said. “I am particularly proud of Daniel Briggs making the most of his opportunity to lead the team. We have a tough league this year and Tacoma Baptist is next on the schedule ... The Tacoma Baptist game will determine where we stand in the state. We are top ten team now and could break into the top 5 with a win.”

The Vikings play Tacoma Baptist at Curtis High School’s stadium on Saturday, Sept. 25 at 2 p.m.

The Lady Vikings let the Hurricanes blow by them on the first match on Sept. 14. Then they went on the war path, winning the next three games to close down play with scores of 25-19, 25-20 and 25-20.

“We lost the first game (25-15) but we didn't crumble,” said coach Gregg Sasan. “In years past we would have almost thrown in the towel, but they stuck together as a team and then we won the next three. (Mount Vernon Christian) is tough, so it was good to see us come out of that.”

Sasan and assistant coach Hank Date chalked up the first loss to first game jit-ters.

“We missed a ton of serves that first game,” Sasan said. The girls greatly improved their serving percentage during the next night's game against La Conner.

Date said he’d like to see the team strengthen their serving, and their passing and setting, as well. On the positive side, “we did a really good job of attacking the

ball, when we got a good pass,” he said.The Vikings' middle hitter, senior April

Hofmann, looks to be a cornerstone of the team this season, with solid blocks and powerful spikes. She is co-captaining the team with senior Makenna Thomas.

Date said Emily Bodenhamer is “a real threat on the left side of the net; when she’s on, she can really thunder a few down. I expect to see more of that.”

Middle Serena Sanders led the team in serving, providing good blocks and hits opposite Hofmann, said the coaches, while Kathryn Tidwell did a great job on the front on the outside, teaming up with Hofmann for “some really momentum-changing blocks” in the middle.

Senior setter Adria Garcia was joined on the court by little sis, Aliviah, as the team's secondary defensive specialist.

Date said the football team lent valuable support when they trooped into the gym, making the bleachers thunder with the cry, “Viking Power!”

San Juan County Administrator Pete Rose is staying put.

But it’s not because he hasn’t sought employment elsewhere.

In fact, Rose, who joined the county as its first-ever administrator in 2006, nearly landed a job with the city of Milwaukie, Ore., which was seeking to fill a vacant managerial post several months ago.

More recently, he was among five finalists vying for a similar soon-to-be vacant posi-tion in the city of Issaquah. Rose said that landing either position would have put him back in familiar territory of managing a city, rather than a county, such as San Juan, and been a good career move as well.

“Issaquah is a top-notch high-end post-ing,” he said. “I thought it certainly was worth my time to give it a shot.”

In the end, Milwaukie selected someone other than Rose, who said late last week that it appears he’s out of the running for the job in Issaquah, where long-time city manager Leon Kros is retiring after 33 years on the job. Rose added that Milwaukie and Issaquah are each unique in professional challenges and rewards, and that his pursuit of a job outside the county is over for the time being.

“I’m fully engaged and enjoy serving here,” he said of his position with the county.

Rose joined the county following a 8-year tenure as city manager of Woodinville, where he supervised seven departments, about 64 full-time employees and an annual operating budget of roughly $9.5 million. Located in King County and near Issaquah, Woodinville has a population of almost 10,000 and covers roughly six square miles.

In San Juan, Rose manages as many as 25 separate departments, roughly 150 full-time employees and an annual budget that totaled $37.2 million in 2010.

County Council Chairman Richard Fralick said it’s a fact of life for any orga-nization, whether public or private, to have high-level executives seeking to bet-ter themselves professionally or personally. That Rose would do so shouldn’t come as a surprise or cause much disruption within the county ranks, Fralick said.

Still, Fralick added he’s relieved that Rose will be sticking around.

“Pete from day one has been committed to the county,” he said. “I understand his need to look around personally, and it’s a perfectly normal thing to do. Personally though, it stresses me because I hate very much to see him go.”

Beginning Oct. 4 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the Conference Room at the Orcas Senior Center, the Diabetes Support Group will meet on Mondays. Leaders for this group will be active diabetics Steve Gresham and Joyce Rupp with sup-port from a host of guest medical professionals.

The first month’s meetings will be spent discussing feel-ings and emotions surrounding the disease.

“We’ll survey for topics you would like to hear about and set up a monthly schedule of speakers,” Rupp said. “Viewing a specific topic for four weeks from different perspectives should provide thorough coverage and ample time for conversation.”

Whether you are “pre-diabetic,” newly diagnosed, pill-controlled or insulin-dependent, organizers say partici-pants will learn from each other and provide support and good cheer while dealing with this difficult subject.

All ages are welcome. No fee will be charged but a little basket to help with room rental or other expenses will be available.

Call Joyce Rupp at 370-0591 or the senior center at 376-2677 with questions.

ISLANDS' SOUNDER

Page 10 WWW.ISLANDSSOUNDER.COM Wednesday, September 22, 2010 • The Islands’ Sounder

by JEFF HANSONSpecial to the Sounder

Part of Eastsound is get-ting a new look, and a new job, over the next year or so.

San Juan County Public Works, with funding from an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant, has broken ground on a proj-ect to install replacement and new stormwater trans-port piping in preparation for a planned constructed wetland. The project has been in the planning stages for many years and when completed, is intended to provide Eastsound with an attractive wetlands “park” and other facilities with a purpose: to remove contam-inants from runoff before it gets to Fishing Bay.

Orcas Excavators, the contractor selected by the county, began first phase of the project on Sept. 15, installing new stormwater pipes from an area near the chapel behind the Outlook Inn to the stormwater out-fall across the street. This phase of the project will take approximately two weeks. The constructed wetlands project is planned for Summer 2011 for what the county calls the “Mount Property,” a .9-acre area about 100 feet south of the SeaView Theatre and west of the Eastsound Village Green. Prior to this phase the county plans an exten-sive public engagement pro-cess.

According to Ed Hale, San Juan County Utility Manager, the need for stormwater treatment has been recognized since 1994, when the county purchased the Mount Property for the express purpose of storm-water treatment. The pres-ent Eastsound stormwater system simply transports the runoff from park-ing lots, streets, roofs and other impermeable areas of Eastsound directly to Fishing Bay. This runoff contains toxic contaminants from oils and greases on the streets, contaminants from the asphalt itself and from lawn chemicals. The planned stormwater treat-ment will treat runoff from an area north of the facility and includes a settling pond and a wetlands that mimic natural areas that have the capacity to filter, settle and provide biological treatment for these contaminants, puri-

fying the runoff water. Hale said constructed wetlands offer more complete treat-ment than other treatment methods such as sand or other filters, because there is more biological activity. He notes that one of the reasons that the county chose this type of stormwater treat-ment is that there are other benefits, including provid-ing habitat for a variety of species (birds, amphibians and many others) and are attractive places for people, too, effectively adding park land. The tentative design for the area includes walk-ways, bridges and benches to provide places for people to enjoy this new attractive and “working” space.

The Eastsound project is moving forward thanks to a Puget Sound Watershed Management Assistance Grant awarded to San Juan County earlier this year by the EPA. Mary Knackstedt, coordinator for the San Juan County Marine Resources Committee (MRC), applied for the grant, which also includes funding for pro-viding incentives and tech-nical assistance for home and business owners to incorporate water-purifying low impact development techniques on their prop-erty and for the county to write new codes to allow low impact development techniques to qualify as stormwater treatment.

While the engineered wetlands and the rest of the stormwater system will help reduce contaminants in a portion of Eastsound’s runoff, their job could be made a lot easier if more “pre-treatment” is done. According to Knackstedt, there are many steps that businesses, public facilities and homeowners can take to help filter some con-taminants out before they even get to the storm drain. By installing landscaping, rain gardens, simple grassy swales and permeable walk-ways and driveways, more runoff soaks into the ground where it is filtered, and may never even reach a storm drain. From the EPA grant funds, the San Juan Islands Conservation District will be providing both techni-cal support and funding to assist home and business owners in Eastsound to improve the ability of their own properties to reduce stormwater contamina-tion. For more information on this aspect, call Julie Thompson at the County Community Development and Planning Department at 370-7588.

Jeff Hanson is the Outreach Coordinator for the San Juan County Marine Resources Committee.

Island LivingA block watch

for county

beachesBy MEREDITH M. GRIFFITH

Sta� reporter

When little Ozzie the oystercatcher hatched on

Indian Island this sum-mer, his home was a busy patch of rock. Enthusiastic low tide visitors wanted to scale the island’s peak, or brought curious dogs with them, and didn’t necessar-ily know there was a fragile baby nestled on the isle.

Volunteers from the Indian Island Marine Health Observatory stepped in, manning watches to guard the path along the tombolo from the beach with friendly smiles and information about Ozzie and his fam-ily. Visitors and commu-nity responded positively, said Marcia Spees, a WSU Beach Watcher.

“Everyone voluntarily stayed off of the green part of the island,” she said. “Most of them were excited to learn about the oyster-catchers.”

The Indian Island Marine Health Observatory is an Orcas Island group made up of graduates of the WSU Beach Watchers program, along with people from Kwiaht – The Center for Historical Ecology of the Salish Sea, more than 180 kids from Orcas schools, the Bureau of Land Management, the Land Bank and the San Juan Nature Institute.

The group began in the summer of 2009, work-ing to identify species that could serve as valid indica-tors of marine ecosystem health.

The Orcas group is just one of five commu-nity monitoring groups in the San Juan Islands (on Waldron, Orcas, San Juan,

and two on Lopez) that collect field data from local docks and beaches.

Representatives from the five groups gathered in Eastsound on September 15 to meet one another, share their work and dia-logue with members of the San Juan County Marine Resources Committee.

Volunteers want to understand how human activities affect local marine life and share that knowledge with islanders, visitors and other research-ers.

They also want to involve local kids in the discov-ery process; many at the meeting noted that today’s bright-eyed students of the tide-pools will be tomor-row’s marine stewardship policy-makers.

One key concept for the groups is “this idea that ordinary people in a com-munity can be involved in actual legitimate sci-entific field work that has the opportunity to actu-ally influence govern-mental policy,” Spees told the Sounder. “You have a whole county full of people who know a lot about the environment they live in. It’s grassroots politics.”

Lead speakers included WSU Beach Watchers coor-dinator Shann Weston and Russell Barsh of Kwiaht, but many volunteers also shared their experiences and ideas for the future.

Barsh said the marine monitoring network has nearly 100 volunteers, with a core of 65 very active people who conduct field and lab work each month.

“Total volunteer effort county-wide is at least 4500 hours per year,” he said. “Orcas alone is 16 core volunteers and about 1000 hours per year.”

Many of the communi-ty monitoring volunteers have attended the WSU Beach Watchers program, which offers non-scientists professional-level envi-ronmental education in exchange for volunteer hours.

Weston said she will soon be adjusting the for-mat for Beach Watchers classes to make them more accessible.

The organizations wel-come volunteers, and if marine monitoring sounds dull to you, think again; word is Barsh does a fab-ulous impression of an Orange Peel Nudibranch.

“It’s open to anyone who wants to volunteer,” said Spees. “Some people are just passionate about the environment and the sea.”

“Everyone involved

is motivated by differ-ent things, but they’re all working towards this goal; they still work together well,” added Jeff Hanson, Outreach Coordinator for the San Juan County Marine Resources Committee.

To get involvedThe website www.indi-

anisland.info includes tide pool etiquette tips an Oh My! Biology section of color photos so visitors can get to know some of Indian Island’s inhabitants, like grunt sculpins, sea lemons,

sunflower stars, decorator crabs and more. There’s even an underwater video of a sea star hunting down fleeing prey.

contributed photoF.E.A.S.T. stands for “Farm Education And Sustainability for Teens” and this year marks the fourth successful year of the program. A F.E.A.S.T. fundraiser is set for Saturday, Oct. 2.

With the harvest season upon us, the F.E.A.S.T. pro-gram is gearing up for their annual fundraising dinner on Saturday, Oct. 2.

“This year promises to be a spectacular event,” said organizer Owen Cheevers. “The sunset beach dinner will be held in a warm ban-quet tent on Brandt’s Beach, gratuitously hosted by Orcas Events. Appetizers of wood-fired pizza, compliments of Soul Flour, will begin at 5:30 p.m., followed by a locally grown meal cooked by Yuriko Bullock & Libi Geddes.”

F.E.A.S.T. stands for “Farm Education And Sustainability for Teens” and this year marks the fourth successful year of the program.

“As Orcas Island knows well, a sustainable com-munity requires a diversity of skills, creativity, hard work, education, participa-

tion, health and fun,” said Cheevers. “With all of these in mind, The F.E.A.S.T. pro-gram aims to teach high school students the impor-tance of creating a sustain-able, healthy planet. In the process, it has changed lives. Many students have gone on to continue working in the field of sustainability on island and off.”

Each summer a group of teens join F.E.A.S.T. and earn high school credit as they learn valuable skills from and work with mem-bers of the community. In one summer students learned from over a dozen local community members, farmers, artists, mycolo-gists, biologists, builders and teachers. Subjects cov-ered each summer include bee-keeping, wild crafted medicines, mycology, farm-ing, blacksmithing, wood-working, solar energy, biodynamic farming, com-

posting, permaculture, food preservation, natural build-ing and more.

“This not only gives teens a rich, broad understanding of their community, but also supports many farmers and individuals in the commu-nity,” said Cheevers. “Many of these skills are vital to be shared and practiced to create a healthy planet. The greatest tool we have in sav-ing the planet, endangered species, polluted ecosys-tems, is us, local community groups coming together and taking action.”

Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at The Chamber of Commerce, Smith and Speed, and Darvill’s. Vegetarian tick-ets also available. To get to Brandt’s Beach, use Brandt’s Landing Entrance, take a left though the gate just before Smugglers Cove.

Polly Sanford and Kathi Ciskowski are presenting a workshop on how to create a personal life chart on Friday, Sept. 24 from 7:30 to 9 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 25 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“Each one of us has a life that unfolds in an individual and unique way, and that is what makes us who we are in the world,” Ciskowski said. “Yet, when we look at our life stories we begin to see the rhythms and patterns that not only form us, but also connect us to one another with objec-tivity and compassion. In studying our own ‘biography,’ we develop an awareness of ourselves that affects how we view our families, friends, and co-workers, deepening our rela-tionships with them.”

Participants will look at an overview of the phases, rhythms and patterns of life, and work with fairy tales and various artistic exercises to enliven their memories and stories and to see their own lives and those of others as an archetypal journey through time. The suggested donation for the workshop is $40. Call Kathi Ciskowski at 376-4186 or email at ciskokid@rockisland.com to register.

“Are you ready to rumble? Orcas Island Triple Ripple Trail Running Festival is just two weeks away!” says co-race director Susannah Beck.

The Orcas Island Triple Ripple Trail Festival is now in the final stages of preparation for its Oct. 2-3 debut at the Environmental Learning Center at Moran State Park. Race organiz-ers Jen Vollmer and Beck are expect-ing approximately 50 runners from as far away as Vermont to attend. The race festival offers three running races: a four miler around Mountain Lake, a 10-kilometer hill climb up Mt. Constitution, and a 30K trail run that traverses all of the park’s most beautiful trails, with a special award for ‘Trail Monsters’ who complete all three events.

“We wanted to create an event that

encouraged running and fitness on the island; there aren’t that many races here, for such a great trail system. So we are expecting a lot of locals for the four miler. The 30K is a draw for people from a lot farther away, while the 10K climb is just kind of a crazy event that needs to exist,” said Beck, who designed the courses. “And yes, there isn’t a lot of sense to running three races in two days, but it’s been a popular format in other parts of the country, and does give you an excuse to hang out with other runners for a weekend. There’s something for every-one.”

The festival will also feature a two-part Chi Running workshop with Seattle’s Laura Houston, music from Orcas’ Dust Bunnies and others, and food from local farms. Bunkhouse

lodging is available at the park’s Environmental Learning Center (ELC). The Triple Ripple is a fund-raiser for The Funhouse and Friends of Moran State Park. Runners from The Funhouse running programs get free entry.

The four-miler starts Saturday, October 2, at 9 a.m. at Mountain Lake. The other two races start at the ELC on Sunday, October 3, with the 30K starting at 8 a.m. and the 10K at 3 p.m. More information, registration forms and maps are available at http://triplerippletrailfestival.blogspot.com/. Registration will be available in person at the ELC on Friday afternoon from 3 to 8 p.m., and Saturday morning at Mountain Lake from 8 to 8:30 a.m. For more information, call 376-5118.

PET OF THE WEEK

by COLLEEN S. ARMSTRONGEditor

An integral force behind the Orcas Off Leash Area is stepping down.

Jeff Hanson, the com-munity “go to” person for all things dog park related, says it is time for someone else to take over.

“My other responsibili-ties have really kept me from putting in the energy that the dog park deserves,” said Hanson, who owns Pawki’s pet store with his wife Deb. Hanson is also the Outreach Coordinator for the San Juan County Marine Resources Committee.

“Deb and I will contin-ue to be strong support-ers,” he said. “I’m thrilled with what’s happened with the dog park over the years and the reception it’s gotten from the community.”

Orcas Off Leash Area board member – and fre-quent dog park user – Judy Dorman is stepping up to fill Hanson’s paws, er, shoes.

Hanson became involved with the Orcas Off Leash Area shortly after mov-ing to Orcas in 2007 from southern Oregon. As the proud owner of mixed breeds Rubi and Logan,

Hanson says it “seemed like a natural” to volunteer.

He and organizer Robin Freeman saw the need to move the dog park from the Orcas Animal Shelter property to a more visible location. Freeman arranged to lease land from the Port of Orcas, where the cur-rent park stands today (the original dog park is still at the shelter). As a 501(c)3, the Orcas Off Leash Area thrives on volunteer effort.

“Some of the ongoing challenges are keeping up the volunteer hours and the dialogue and making sure people follow the rules,” Hanson said. “And keep-ing the operations of the off-leash area funded. We encourage the users and those who appreciate the off-leash area to become ‘OOLA Stewards’ with a donation of $25.”

A future challenge lies in the Port of Orcas lease, which only goes through May 2014.

“It’s very likely it will need to move,” Hanson said. “It would be ideal if it could become part of the park and rec district. It would give it some consistency.”

Hanson is enthusiastic about the current off leash area board, calling them “active” and “upbeat.”

“I think they’re going to nurture it really well,” he said. “The most amazing thing about the dog park is that it brings together people of all ages, incomes, and philosophies. It’s a great social experience.”

GOT TRASH?

A professionally man-aged online auction is a brand-new wrinkle added to OPAL Community Land Trust’s fundraising events this year.

Beginning on Sunday, Sept. 26, anyone, anywhere, can go to the auction web-site (www.opalauction.cmarket.com or www.bid-dingforgood.com/opalauc-tion), register and bid on more than 110 different items.

All proceeds from the auction will go to support permanently affordable housing on Orcas Island, including OPAL’s newest neighborhood, Wild Rose Meadow, across from the Medical Center.

“By working with Biddingforgood (formerly known as cmarket), we are opening up a whole new world to our community,” said Helen Bee, auction co-chairman and OPAL board president. “We have select-ed some items that would never have been available to us otherwise. Most of all, we hope that having part of the auction online means that we can greatly expand the number of bidders. Our supporters can send an email to their family and friends to encourage them to bid through the online auction and everyone’s actions will help OPAL. If you belong to Facebook and Twitter you can get the word out in a hurry.”

While the great major-ity of the items have been donated by local businesses and individuals, there are also some exotic travel items: Mexico, a Caribbean cruise, a week in Edinburgh, a week in Vienna, New Orleans jazz, Whistler, Victoria, and a remarkable splurge in London.

Local items include meals from restaurants, wine col-

lections and a wine tasting, services from architects, estate planners, computer specialists, interior design-ers, tree care specialists, acupuncture treatments, yoga classes, massages, out-door education adventures, fishing, whale watching, arts and crafts, a lube job for the car, teeth cleaning, and new glasses frames.

For sports fans, there is a pair of Seahawks tickets for the Nov. 7 New York Giants game, two tickets to a Mariners game in the 2011 season, and a signed Ichiro jersey. For off-island bidders, there are weeks at Orcas vacation houses to bid on as well as arts and crafts that can be shipped.

OPAL will still hold its usual gala “soirée,” on the evening of Oct. 16 at Orcas Center.

Twenty items from the online auction will be car-ried over to the live event, with six or seven brand new items thrown into the mix.

The elaborate decora-tions this year, created by Kari Van Gelder, will evoke an undersea realm, com-plete with jellyfish, kelp and starfish, in keeping with the auction’s “Soirée under the Sea” theme.

Islanders are invited to join in the fun and encour-aged to bid early and bid often. For reservations for the live dinner event, call the OPAL office at 376-3191. Tickets are $90 per person.

A lecture event with inter-nationally acclaimed artist Harold Cohen, who is also the originator of the com-puter program AARON, will open the Orcas Crossroads Lecture Series on Sunday, Sept. 26 at 2 p.m. at Orcas Center. The title of the lec-ture event is “Computers, Cognition and Creativity in the Visual Arts.” Cohen

was an acclaimed London-based visual artist when he discovered comput-ers in 1968, as a Visiting Professor at the University of California, San Diego. He never returned to London. Instead he began research-ing autonomous machine intelligence for making art. Cohen’s celebrated AARON program was first developed

in Stanford University’s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in 1973.

Cohen will present a lec-ture about the relationships between cognition, creativ-ity and computers, then participate in a question-and-answer period with the audience and join attend-ees for a public reception in the Madrona Room at the Orcas Center on Sept. 26. Attendees are advised to arrive early for this lecture for a slideshow of AARON’s art at 1:45 p.m

All costs are included in the $10 ticket price, and tickets are available at Orcas Island Public Library, Darvill’s Bookstore or online at orcascrossroads.org.

‘Computers, Cognition & Creativity in Visual Arts’ lecture

“The vibrations for the night will be high as we cul-tivate an evening of love and sweetness,” organizers say.

Concert-goers are asked to bring pillows and blan-kets for floor seating. Chairs will also be available.

Tickets are available at Darvill’s bookstore for $15. For more information, visit www.somaticrevolution.com.

Marlyn Myers, President of the Orcas Island Garden Club, is ecstatic over this year’s presenters.

The line-up includes authors, professors, hor-ticulturists, researchers, botanists, filmmakers, and owners of highly success-ful nurseries and gardens. From Orcas, Cindy Morgan, owner of the Nest, will teach holiday decorating and Michael Budnick, owner of Northwest Concepts, will explore use of native plants. Other presenters will be coming from San Juan, Port Townsend, Marysville, and the Seattle area. Topics range from GMO seeds,

to hardy fuchsias, land-scape design, and how to cope with various pest and plant issues. Probably the most well-known speaker, radio and TV personality, Ciscoe Morris, will be shar-ing his expertise in April. “Everyone loves Ciscoe and he can speak on anything related to gardening,” Myers said.

The Garden Club meets the third Wednesday of the month at the Orcas Center. The public is invited, but to enjoy the full benefits, they encourage membership. Contact Marlyn Myers for more information at 376-6110.

Robert Hall, who will direct a stage adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic “Little Women,” has com-pleted the casting for the production, which will be performed in Orcas Center’s OffCenter Stage in late October and early November.

Because several charac-ters grow from childhood to young adulthood in the course of the story, Hall decided to double cast these characters with both young and adult actors.

The young cast includes Brigid Ehrmantraut as Meg, Adia Dolan as Jo, Ariel Vergen as Beth, Claire Bishop Martin as Amy, and

Jared Grantham as John Brooke.

Taking over as the adult characters are: Cara Russell as Meg, Maria Massey as Jo, Ariel Leckbond as Beth, Jamie Mulligan-Smith as Amy, Zak Knight as Laurie and Ron Herman as John Brooke.

Other roles include Marmee (Valerie Buxbaum), Aunt March (Deborah Sparks), Mr. March (Evan Buxbaum), and the Professor (Indy Zoeller). Hall is also add-ing an interesting element to the production by creat-ing the narrator character of Louisa May Alcott, who will be played by Annette

Mazzarella. Michele Griskey will join the company as dramaturge, which involves developing the added nar-rative which will come from Alcott’s memoirs and let-ters. Beth Baker, who last played Rose in “Gypsy,” will stage manage.

“Little Women” will run for six performances Oct. 28 to 30 and Nov. 4 to 6. Tickets are $13 and $9 for students. For more informa-tion or to purchase tickets, visit orcascenter.org or call or 360/376-2281 ext 1 or visit Orcas Center during box office hours, Thursday-Saturday, noon to 4 p.m.

Cast for ‘Little Women’ announced

Bishop Anderson and the members of Emmanuel Episcopal Parish invite the community to a Blessing of the Animals in commemoration of St. Francis Day on Sunday, Oct. 3.

All members of the community are welcome to the Worship Service beginning at 10 a.m. The blessing of ani-mals of all sizes and shapes will be held at 11:30 a.m. on the lawn between the church and Parish Hall.

Francis of Assisi, Friar (1182-1226), one of the most beloved of saints in the Christian Church, was born into a privileged family but later renounced all material things and devoted himself to serve the poor. Founded by St. Francis, the Order of Franciscans grew rapidly throughout Europe. In addition to his personal humility and devotion to the poor, Francis is remembered for his love of creation and all creatures.

Orcas High School senior Halley McCormick has been selected as one of 16,000 semifinalists in the 2011 National Merit Scholarship program.

The National Merit Scholarship program honors students who show exceptional aca-demic ability and potential for success in rigorous college studies. Semifinalists may continue in the process to compete for 8,400 National Merit Scholarships totaling over $36 million, to be awarded next spring. Roughly 90 percent of semifinalists will achieve finalist standing, with about half earning scholarships.

The competition, now in its 56th year, is administered by the non-profit National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC).

“Scholarships are underwritten by NMSC

and about 450 business organizations and higher education institutions that share NMSC’s goal of honoring the nation’s scho-lastic champions and encouraging the pur-suit of academic excellence,” reads a recent NMSC press release.

The semifinalists were selected out of a pool of 1.5 million high school juniors who took the Preliminary SAT, and rep-resent less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors. The competition to become a finalist includes submission of an essay as well as information about each student’s participation and leadership in school and community activities.

For more information about the com-petition, visit NMSC’s Web site at www.nationalmerit.org.

1. Deal with folks you can meet in person. You can avoid most scams if you follow this rule.

2. Never wire funds via Western Union, Money Gram or any other money transfer service. Generally if you are asked to do this, it is a scam.

3. Beware non-local buyers who want to pay you with a Cashier’s Check or Money Order. Fraudlent, fake Cashier’s Checks and Money Orders are common, your bank will cash them then hold you responsible when the fake is discovered weeks later.

4. Beware of non-local buyers who offer you MORE than the asking price for your item to cover “shipping” or “agents” cost. This is a scam.

5. Beware of non-local buyers who only want to communicate over the internet via email. This is a common tactic by scammers.

Finally if the offer for your item sounds too good to be true it just might be a scam.

If you feel you have been a victim of a scam or fraud contact the

There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a firewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
