As surely as the tide flows in and out of Friday Harbor, opposition is gathering to recommendations endorsed by the Charter Revision Commission.

On July 10, an unenthusias-tic county council “received” – but would not “accept” – the report of the Charter Revision Commission, which proposes to scrap the six-member council and return control of the county to a three-member council, which would be responsible for executive functions by utilizing a “county manager” in place of the present county administrator.

The changes recommended by the CRC were denounced by for-mer freeholder Charlie Bodenstab, who criticized both the process by which the commission con-ducted its review and its conclu-sions. Bodenstab suggested that two CRC members, both former

freeholders, “had an agenda” to essentially repeal elements of the charter with which they disagreed and that the commission “blew the opportunity to fine-tune the charter,” as he and other freehold-ers had originally intended.

In 2005, voters approved a home rule charter, crafted by the board of freeholders, which changed both the structure and the man-ner in which county government operates. At that time, voters endorsed both the “basic charter,” which separated the legislative and executive branches of county government, installed a system of initiative and referendum, turned elected offices into non-partisan posts and created the position of county administrator. Voters also approved an amendment to the basic charters, though by a smaller margin, that turned the former three-member county commission into a six-member council, each elected from districts of roughly equal population – three on San Juan Island, two on Orcas and one from Lopez/Shaw.

The charter also calls for its own periodic review and for creation of a Charter Review Commission to conduct that review. The commis-sion may propose changes to the

A string of what locals call “suspiciously similar” burglaries in a Lopez neighborhood is leaving residents feeling not only violated, but angry.

More than 30 concerned islanders showed up at the Lopez Library last Tuesday to talk with San Juan County Sheriff Rob Nou about the outbreak of crime in the Bakerview neigh-borhood.

“It’s scary stuff,” one woman whispered as they waited for Nou to arrive.

Between October and May there have been five repeated burglaries at the same residences and several thefts reported in the area.

It was evident at the meeting that most resi-dents suspected one man was involved, but the police have yet to find evidence tying a single suspect to all of the break-ins.

Daniel Glenn Roadruck, 48, of Lopez Island, was arrested in May for allegedly stealing meat and cash at Horse Drawn Farm on Lopez, after evidence was found tying him to the crime, according to the Sheriff ’s Department. Roadruck is charged in San Juan County District Court with a gross misdemeanor and is out on conditional release, said Nou. His next court hearing is Oct. 10. The maximum sentence for a gross misdemeanor is 364 days in jail and a $5,000 fine.

“With ties to the community and being a semi-long-term resident he was released,” Nou said. “It’s [conditional release] not uncommon when it comes to a misdemeanor.”

He added that the burglaries are part of an active investigation, and that the Sheriff ’s Department has given Roadruck a “trespass notice” to leave the residence he has been living in, which is located in the Bakerview neighbor-hood.

Roadruck has not been arrested or charged in connection with any other residential bur-glaries or crimes.

Nou told islanders at the meeting that he doesn’t see anything coincidental about a string

of burglaries in a small neighborhood.“But ‘knowing’ and being able to prove

beyond a shadow of doubt in court is differ-ent,” he said.

Citizens decided to hold the meeting in order to help “connect the dots” between these crimes. It was also a time for people to tell the sheriff how the recent thefts have affected the community.

“We’ve lost a sense of security,” said Ellie Roser, a local residence. “Most of all we’ve lost a sense of innocence.”

One man said he was worried that the thefts could escalate to more dangerous activity.

“The door was smashed, it was a violent entry,” he said describing the scene at his home after a break-in. “Someone could be home during one of these thefts and it could become violent.”

Another resident said he has lived in the neighborhood for 30 years and never experi-enced a theft. A south end island resident told Nou he attended the meeting because he feared the burglaries may spread.

Other members in the audience had less neg-ative feelings toward the suspect in the Horse Drawn Farm burglary. One man described how Roadruck chopped his wood and was pleasant to chat with. Another woman said when her husband fell on the road it was Roadruck who

The latest OPAL neighborhood, Wild Rose Meadow, has the best solar exposure of all the developments.

The homes have been situated in such a way that residents can install solar heating and photovoltaic systems on their rooftops.

“The homes come with plumbing to the attic, so if the homeowner decides to install a solar hot water system, some of the infra-structure is in place,” said Julie Brunner, Opal Housing Manager. She added that the homes are designed to take advantage of passive solar heating.

Linda Ellsworth, who resides on the southern edge of Wild Rose Meadow, is the first Opal homeowner to generate electrici-ty from the sun and sell it back to OPALCO. Ellsworth worked with Rainshadow Solar, operated by John Mottl, to design and install a roof top solar array that feeds energy into the electrical grid.

Because of local and state programs to encourage alternative energy generation, Federal tax credits (30 percent of system costs), and the fact that her home has great solar exposure, Ellsworth’s solar array should pay for itself within six to seven years. After that time it will generate income.

Two of OPAL’s 93 homes have rooftop “solar panels,” and both of them are in Wild Rose Meadow. Fabrice Van Putten and Jami Mitchell worked with local installer Loren Dickey of Streamside Renewables to set up a passive solar hot water system. Van Putten feels the solar water heating system covers most of their household needs for four to five months of the year.

Orcas currently has about one-fourth of the county’s grid-tied renewable energy generation with about 120 Kilowatts (wind, micro-hydro, and photovoltaic). Nationally, solar electric energy accounts for a measly .02 percent of total electrical generation.

Joel Mietzner, system engineer for

OPALCO, estimates that solar in the coun-ty produced about 270,000 KWhrs of the 219,000,000KWhrs consumed in 2011 – so we produce about .12 percent of our electri-cal energy with solar – about six times the national average.

When you compare this with Germany, things are put into perspective. Germany produces more energy with photovoltaic than all other countries on Earth com-bined.

Solar is not new to the county. Many smaller islands that do not have an electri-cal grid have been using photovoltaic and passive solar technology since the 1970s. The Lopez Land Trust Common Ground site installed solar hot water and a three KW photovoltaic array with each home, enabling several residents to meet all of their energy needs, and receive a check each July for the green energy they fed into the grid.

The next time you are driving on Mt. Baker road by Orcas Center, sneak a peek through the trees to the north and you might see the blue glint of silicon from a roof in Wild Rose Meadow – OPAL’s first grid-tied solar electric generation plant.

An Orcas Island man accused of a vio-lent attack on a live-in girlfriend is slated to stand trial in late September on seven criminal charges, including two counts of second-degree rape, a Class A felony.

On July 6, Frederick Elden Hardtke, 52, pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to two counts of second-degree rape by force, two counts of second-degree assault with a deadly weapon, two counts of fourth-degree assault, a gross mis-demeanor, and to one count of third-degree malicious mischief. Bail was set at $15,000, pending a Sept. 24 trial date.

According to court documents, pros-ecutors claim that Hardkte brutalized and threatened the woman with various fire-arms over a two-day period after an early afternoon dispute at their Eastsound home escalated into an altercation. Authorities allege that the threats and attack began after Hardtke, who reportedly was intoxicated at the time, snatched a cellphone out of the woman’s hand, smashed it on the floor, and

then grabbed and fiercely twisted one of her arms, while at the same time threatening her with a handgun.

Authorities claim that he continued to threaten the woman with firearms through-out the night and the following day, and sexually assaulted her twice within that time frame as well.

On the second day of the alleged attack, after Hardtke was lured away from the home by the woman’s adult daughter, she notified authorities of the assault and was escorted from the home and to the Sheriff Department’s Eastsound office, where she gave a deputy a detailed account of the alleged attack. Hardtke was taken into cus-tody July 27, shortly before noon, follow-ing a brief struggle with three deputies, in which he was subdued by a taser outside his home, according to court records.

A Class A felony, second-degree rape by force carries maximum penalties of life in prison, a $50,000, or both. Assault in the second degree, a Class B felony, carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both.

Orcas Island Fire and Rescue responded to a fire on Turtleback Mountain following an electrical storm that passed over Orcas in the early morning hours of July 13.

On location, crews found a small smoldering fire located on the East side of Turtleback. Due to the storm and darkness, OIFR monitored the fire and deployed a fire crew within the hour.

“The cause of the fire is currently under investigation but was most probably caused by a lightning strike,” said Orcas Fire Chief Kevin O’Brien. “Orcas Island Fire and Rescue reminds you to fully extinguish camp fires.”

Orcas Islanders have an opportunity to glimpse the old-time, traditional life of the Native/First Nations people of this region from someone who has been living it.

Sasayitha (Mary Wagner) was born in the early 1930s in a cedar “big house” or longhouse, the traditional earthen-floored dwelling of several families, with several open fires venting through the roof. A member of the Wsaannich (Saanich) tribe of southern Vancouver Island, Sasayitha spent time with her family growing up on Orcas Island. She was taught by her mother how to communicate with animals, and she has many stories from her life and her elders to share. She’s been looking forward to return-ing to Orcas during berry-picking season. Her son, Che oke ten (Paul Wagner) is a gifted and award-winning Native American flute player and an internationally-perform-ing ambassador of the traditional songs and stories of his Coast Salish ancestors. Both mother and son are fluent speakers of their language, and delightful, humorous, and engaging people, say organizers.

On Sunday, July 22, three separate events will take place at the Odd Fellows Hall in Eastsound. At 3 p.m., Sasayitha will spend an hour or more speaking of her personal experiences and her people’s way of life on Orcas and Vancouver Islands. At 6:30 p.m. Che oke ten will present a flute and drum

concert. After the concert, from around 8 to10:30 p.m. or later, there will be a Red Cedar Circle, a participatory circle with drumming, singing of traditional and other spiritual songs, dancing, storytelling and more sharing from both guests. Bringing finger food is welcome.

Che oke ten will also offer a workshop on making dream catchers that includes songs, stories, and blessings at the Healing Arts Annex at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 21. Materials (glass beads, deer leather and sinew, cedar hoop) are included in the $25 fee.

For more information or to sign up for the workshop, contact Anita Holladay at 376-2095 or Che Blaine at 376-4012.

OPALCO’s system stood up to the test in last week’s back-to-back electri-cal storms over San Juan County. System Engineer Joel Mietzner said “it is unusual to get electrical storms in our area and par-ticularly two such storms back to back.”

However, OPALCO’s sys-tem is built out with volt-age arrestors to handle such lightning strikes – some of which carried as much as 90,000 volts as measured when it hit their equip-ment.

The outage events began on Friday, July 13 at about 6 p.m. when lightning struck a home in the Cape San Juan area, grounding itself through the wiring in the home and blowing out an OPALCO transformer. This caused a fault in that circuit, cutting power to approxi-mately 200 meters in the area. Power was restored by 7:30 p.m.

At 7:26 p.m., the Orcas submarine cable terminal opened up in response to a fault. The system is designed to open up (and shut down power) as soon as a fault in the line is detected. The fault was cleared and power restored in 11 seconds. At 7:42 p.m. something, such as a limb, blew into the transmission lines on Shaw and the terminal on Lopez opened up, cleared the fault and restored power auto-matically within the same 11-second time frame.

These smart “auto reclo-sure” devices save crews hours of time; in the past, they would have to drive the lines to try and visually locate the cause of the out-age – sometimes requiring

crews to travel to the outer islands during foul weather to try and locate a fault.

The big outage occurred Friday at 8:46 p.m. when a fault was detected on the mainland at Puget Sound Energy’s Burrow’s Bay sub-station, where all of the power transmitted to the islands is routed. PSE crews worked through the night and power was re-routed to the islands at 2:50 a.m. The fault was likely caused by a lightning strike. On Saturday morning, an underground fault in the Cape San Juan area cut power again to about 75 meters. This was likely a result of the Friday lightning event. Power was restored to most meters by noon.

OPALCO weathers the storm

The electrical storm that lumbered through the islands early Friday morn-ing touched down on the east side of Lopez with destructive force.

Longtime Journal weath-

er correspondent Jack Giard said that a bolt of light-ning struck a Douglas Fir that stands about 400 feet away from his Bakerview Road with such force that it ripped the 80-foot tall tree

in half, and sent shards of wood, some as much as 10 feet in length, flying in all directions, shortly after 3:30 a.m.

“It absolutely almost vaporized it,” Giard said of the impact. “It looks like someone blew it up.”

A massive thunder clap followed moments later, he said.

Crime in the islands disrupts paradise

Thank you for Rutledge fundraising

Thank you SO much to everyone who contributed to the Rutledge Family Benefit Auction at Rosario Resort.

It was incredible to see the turn out and support for Peter and his family. From donors to bid-ders, islanders were unbelievably generous. What a special place to call home. We raised more than $19,000 at the auction and the Orcas Island Golf Course made more than $1,100 at its benefit golf tournament. In addition, there were numerous donations from churches, the school and individu-als. The grand total was well above $20,000! Pretty darn AMAZING for this little island of ours.

I wish Peter could have experi-enced the love we all have for him and how important his recovery is to so many people. I spoke with Peter and he was simply in disbe-lief and so touched. A huge heart-felt THANK YOU to you all!

If you’d like to contribute to the family, checks can be made out to: Rutledge Family Fund and mailed to: Navigant Credit Union, c/o Rutledge Family Fund, 1005 Douglas Pike, Smithfield, RI, 02917

Independence Day celebrations a success

The Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce wishes to thank all those who helped make our 4th of July (and 7th of July) celebrations such a success!

July 4th kicked off with the chamber’s second annual all day “Festival on the Fourth,” on the Village Green. Cosponsored with the History Museum, the daytime event drew a large crowd to enjoy patriotic readings, music, games, food, and a wonderful logging display from the Harvey fam-ily. Chamber board member Tom Maiuro’s planning skills truly made the event one to remember. We thank all those who took part and made the day so enjoyable.

The evening of the 4th fea-tured the chamber’s annual fire-

works show on East Sound. By all accounts, the show was one of the best in years. A standing ovation for all those who helped fund the pyrotechnics - be it our generous sponsors - or those who contributed a dollar or two to our collection cans. The show couldn’t have happened without you. As always, the Community Band kept the Waterfront Park viewing audi-ence entertained before the show (sheltered under the Lions Club tent). Planning is already under-way for next year’s show.

Orcas Island’s celebration of our nation’s independence con-cluded on Saturday, July 7th with an array of activities, including a fun run, the Saturday Market, and the Chamber’s annual Community Parade down North Beach Road. The parade celebrated Orcas Farms, and with over 40 wonder-ful entries the Chamber awarded the top prize to the Nutt family’s Warm Valley Orchard float. Many, many thanks to be made, includ-ing: Island Market (parade priz-es); parade route volunteers (the orange vests never looked better); San Juan County’s Sheriff … Public Works… and County Parks (for all your assistance); Jim Hamilton (a terrific Grand Marshal vehicle); Grand Marshal Emily Reid (you were radiant!); and the Community Band (playing once again!).

The Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce is proud to be the voice of business on our magnificent island.

• A menagerie of candidates

Editorial

We know all too well the perils of crime in a small community. Colton Harris-Moore drove that point home with his exploits as the Barefoot Bandit.

And when it’s “one of our own” perpetrating acts of burglary and vandalism, it feels even more personal. De-spite those feelings, we need to be mindful of not convict-ing suspects in the court of public opinion.

More than 30 Lopez Islanders organized a meeting last week with San Juan County Sheriff Rob Nou to discuss the out-break of crime in the Bakerview neighborhood. A local man has been charged with allegedly stealing food and meat from a farm stand, but there are a myriad of break-ins that are left unsolved.

There were a range of emotions displayed during the meeting: fear, anger, maybe even a little forgiveness for the suspect, who one woman called “very nice” during previous encounters.

But we must be careful. The man was charged with only one crime, yet it seems most in the neighborhood have concluded he’s guilty of all the break-ins.

Now turning to the crime wave on Orcas. The public school building was damaged in early July during back-to-back bur-glaries. The stolen goods included laptops, iPads, bus radios and a small safe. These kind of crimes are frustrating and upsetting. If anyone knows information, please call the Sheriff’s Office at 378-4151.

It’s sad that we are once again feeling the sting of crime in our tranquil communities. But despite experiencing a sliver of what the mainland endures, we still have a safe, nurturing place to live. We just might have to lock our doors.

On July 18, San Juan County will seek propos-als to lease the San Juan Island solid waste site on Sutton Road. The property will be put up for lease to a qualified vendor who will provide some solid waste services. The land for lease includes both the Town of Friday Harbor’s Sutton Road property that is now used for self-haul and an adjacent undeveloped prop-erty owned by the county.

The county council approved a request for pro-posals for the site at its July 10 meeting. The description of qualifications for appli-cants includes the variety of services, proposed site improvements, costs to the public, experience, finan-cial capacity, the estimated number of in-county jobs created and about eight other items.

Any vendor leasing the site would have the option to keep self-haul operating as it is now for up to a year after the contract is signed. State health regulations require that solid waste is disposed of at appropriate and legal facilities. The ven-dor would be responsible for that transport and dis-posal.

The lessee would have the first year of the con-tract to repair and improve the site for providing their services and obtain permits to continue to operate the site. Improvements to the structures and paving are required to comply with health regulations and local traffic concerns and permits are required to safeguard public health.

The request for proposals will be released on July 18. After that, interested parties

will have 72 days to provide their proposal to the coun-ty. Interested parties must attend a pre-proposal meet-ing and site visit. Selection criteria are written into the RFP so that anyone making a proposal will be able to see them.

Public Works Director Frank Mulcahy said, “We have been pleased with the response so far to the RFP we issued for the Orcas solid waste facility, so we are optimistic about finding a qualified lessor to pro-vide services on San Juan Island.”

Proposals from potential lessors of the Orcas prop-erty will be opened on July 13.

If a qualified vendor is selected, the contract is like-ly to be in place by the end of this year.

Council approves RFP for San Juan waste site

The Orcas, Lopez and San Juan Island Chambers of Commerce along with the San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau, San Juan County Economic Development Council, Northwest Workforce Development Council and Scenic Byways have jointly developed and embraced a concept called the “Island Friendly Spirit.”

It all started with an online survey last year with over 160 responses from orga-nizations and residents around the county asking what would be the most impor-tant attributes the San Juan Islands could improve upon to make this a better place

for businesses, residents and visitors. The key themes are: 1)We put people first; 2) We keep our word; 3) We exceed expectations; 4) We are island stewards,; 5) We are island ambassadors.

“Embracing the ‘Island Friendly Spirit’ will help our islands develop an even bet-ter reputation for great experiences where visitors and locals alike enjoy the beauty of our islands as well as every interaction with islanders,” say organizers.

Contact one of the chamber of commerce offices to be part of the “Island Friendly Spirit.”

• Literally thousands of voters from England to Eastsound, North Carolina to North Beach;

• Children’s House fami-lies, teachers and students who walked, strolled and biked in two parades to bring attention to the annu-al fundraiser;

• Mayor April (and her two favorite supporters) who gave their time (and time again) to the cam-paign;

• Office Cupboard, which helped with printing;

• Kaleidoscope who let us lead the Pet Parade;

• Voters with coins, check-books and credit cards!

Children’s House has been an integral part of our island community for more than 40 years due in great part to the generous contri-butions and support of both islanders and visitors who understand the importance of quality, affordable early education. Your contribu-tions really do make a dif-ference! Thank you all.

Thanks United WayThe Orcas Montessori

School would like to send out a huge thank you to the United Way! The United Way’s generous grant helped us to continue our crucial tuition assistance program during the 2011-2012 school year.

The benefits of a quality preschool program are many yet many island families are unable to afford preschool tuition without an assis-tance program. Without the support of the United Way and the caring community members who make giving to this organization a yearly act of generosity, programs like ours would be unable to meet the needs of our island families. An investment in the most formative years of our children’s lives is an investment in the future strength and health of our island. The United Way’s support of our preschools and daycare programs is an example of its dedication to our community.

We kindly ask the mem-bers of our island commu-nity to support the United Way in all its valuable efforts.

Thanks to council for position on coal

We are pleased to hear that the San Juan County Council has unanimously requested that a program-matic, area-wide environ-mental impact statement be performed for the pro-posed Gateway Pacific Coal Terminal. And we are also glad to see that a prominent story about this request appeared on page 1 of the July 11 Sounder.

The impacts of this proj-ect – and of five others like it in Washington and Oregon – will stretch far beyond the actual terminal site. The proposed termi-nal at Cherry Point would stimulate rail and shipping traffic affecting Washington citizens from Spokane to Seattle and from Bellingham to Port Angeles. It has the potential to change our way of life irreversibly here in the San Juan Islands.

The possible regional impacts have recently been cited by the Northwest

Straits Commission, rep-resenting seven counties and eleven tribes in the Puget Sound region, in a letter to Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and three other officials in the Obama Administration. The Commission also requested such an area-wide assess-ment.

Such a regional envi-ronmental analysis should include “the assessment of impacts to water quality, air quality, habitats, wildlife species, and potential loss of tourism,” the Commission states. “In addition, a com-prehensive assessment should specifically include the potential effect of increased noise from ship-ping traffic on Southern resident orca populations.”

We could not have said it any better. Thank you, Northwest Straits Commission for taking this important case to some of the highest offices in the U.S. government.

Such great care in this community

I would like to thank everyone who has helped us after my accident. What a wonderful community to live in!!

In particular, I thank everyone at Westsound Marina that day who imme-diately responded, called the aid car, and helped transport me from the boat to the ambulance. It was not an easy task. Also, thank you to the Orcas Fire Department, Life Flight, Dr. Shinstrom for lending a hospital bed, to my office, the Islands’ Sounder, and to my husband’s work, Sea Island Sand and Gravel, for their continued patience, the Lions Club and Orcas Senior Center for the loan of the wheelchair, walker and crutches, and to all our family and friends who have been there for support and help. My fast recovery has been due to all of you and this healing island, but mostly to the continued wonderful care and love of my husband, Bob. Thank you all.

LETTERS FROM 4

The Eagle Forum of San Juan County is holding a “town hall meeting” on Thursday, July 26 at the Firestation in Eastsound from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Gordy Peterson, chairman for the Charter Review Commission, will be giving an overview of the commission findings when reviewing the charter and explaining why they recommended the action that will be on the November ballot. For more on the CRC, see the story on page 1.

helped him to his feet.“He was very nice,” she

said about the encounter.Several Lopezians raised

concern that the police are not conducting a proper investigation.

“It seems there has been no effort whatsoever to find anything,” said a woman who claimed to have been burglarized three times.

Nou said the Sheriff ’s Department is making an effort to find evidence to link the recent crimes together.

Charles Silverman, dep-uty prosecutor, also pres-ent at the meeting urged Lopezians to continue to

report any additional miss-ing items to the police.

Nou also asked Lopezians to be forthcoming about information even if they think it may be common knowledge.

“Be wary, pay attention to what is going on in the neighborhood,” he said.

Orcas Island School burglaries

Nearly a half dozen older laptops and iPads, a set of brand new bus radios and a small safe bolted to a floor are among equipment and items that disappeared following a pair of recent break-ins at Orcas Island School.

School Superintendent Barbara Kline said the new bus radios and three cel-lular phones were stolen on the night of Friday, July 6 from the school’s mainte-nance shop, and that those responsible apparently got into the building by shat-tering a locked window. That same night, two older laptop computers and a pair of older I-pads van-ished from the school’s tech office, where it appears thieves were able get inside by jimmying the handle of a locked door, Kline said.

An older laptop disap-peared from the gym as well, she said.

“It’s all just very irritating and it takes time and a lot of trouble to replace it all,” Kline said. “The radios just came in. We hadn’t even used them yet.”

Kline said it’s rare for the school to be broken into twice in one weekend, but that’s evidently what hap-pened.

On Monday night, some-one broke into the elemen-tary school by busting out a window and made off with

a small safe that had been bolted to a floor. The safe contained cash and checks, the amount of which has yet to be determined, Kline said.

“They pried up the whole safe and just took it,” she said.

Kline noted the district has improved its security by installing “key pads,” or combination locks, on most of its doors, and that school windows were locked at the time of both burglaries.

She said that Sheriff ’s deputies were at the school

earlier in the week to inves-tigate, and that the district’s insurance carrier has been notified about the break-ins and missing equipment. She hopes those responsible will be identified after news of the burglaries and the impact to the district filters through the community.

“We’d certainly like to know who’s doing this,” she said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff ’s Office at 378-4151.

CRIME FROM 1

charter, if warranted, which must be approved by voters to take effect.

The CRC, which began its review in January, con-cluded its work by issuing eight “Findings” and pro-posing three charter amend-ments. Those amendments were presented July 10 to the council and then deliv-ered to Auditor Milene Henley for inclusion on the November general election ballot.

Although the presenta-tion of the amendments was not a public hearing, “citizen access time” on the agenda provided immediate opportunity for opponents of the charter amendments to speak. Commission member Janice Peterson and Bodenstab spoke.

Peterson, a member of the CRC, joined Bodenstab in criticizing the commis-sion’s findings and recom-mendations. Peterson, who presented the council with a CRC minority report, objected to both the process and substance of the panel’s recommendations, saying

that many members of the group had decided from the beginning the results that would be reached and did not attempt to accommo-date opposing viewpoints in their deliberations.

Bodenstab also criticized the commission for not inviting any former free-holders to offer their per-spectives.

Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord offered a resolution for the council to consider, but, after some dis-cussion, council chairwom-an Patty Miller amended the suggested resolution to sub-stitute the word “received” for the word “accept,” saying that she was concerned that “accept” might be under-stood as “approve,” which the council was not doing.

Interviewed after the meeting, council members Howie Rosenfeld, Jamie Stephens and Lovel Pratt all expressed some version of “let the voters decide,” but none expressed support or opposition “at this time,” as both Rosenfeld and Pratt put it.

Meanwhile, Councilman Rich Peterson said, “I ran for office because I believed

in the charter that the voters approved, and I’m opposed to these amendments.” He said, “I’ll speak out” in opposition.

Friday Harbor attorney Stephanie Johnson O’Day, a former freeholder, said she would “work hard” to defeat the CRC’s recommenda-tions.

In April, O’Day submit-ted a letter to the County Council reaffirming her support for the charter and noting that, “Unfortunately,

the charter had never been implemented correctly … there is no need to change the bones of the charter.”

On the heels of the July 10 meeting, O’Day said that a group of charter support-ers would meet soon to devise a plan to oppose the commission’s amendments. Bodenstab and Janice Peterson both said that they plan to attend.

“We need to go forward, not backward,” O’Day said.

Back by popular demand for the second year in a row, a printed version of the “San Juan County Fair Exhibit Guide & Premium Book” is hot off the press and out on the streets.

It is available at the public libraries on Lopez, Orcas, Shaw and San Juan and at stores and shops of various local merchants.

Published by the San Juan Island Garden Club, the Premium Book provides a comprehensive list of rules and regulations for most fair exhibits, information for exhibitors and insights about how various exhibits are judged.

The Premium Book also offers information about exhib-iting in nearly all categories of the 2012 San Juan County Fair, from Livestock to Island Writers, Food Preservation to Horses, Photography to Vegetables, Textile Arts to Trash-to-Treasure, and more. There is an exhibitor entry form on page 38.

Information provided in the Premium Book can also be found online at the county Fair website, www.sanjuancoun-tyfair.org.

Now in its 106th year, the county Fair is Aug. 15-18, at the fairground in Friday Harbor.

Artists Tokiko Oyama and Koji Ogushi, accompanied by makeup artist Mitsue Nakashio and translator Yayoi Akabane have traveled from Japan to present a per-formance on Wednesday, July 18, at 7:30 p.m. at the Oddfellows Hall.

Organizers say the performance is an expression of gratitude for the community’s support after the earthquake and tsunami last year.

They will be joined by several regional artists and musicians. Susan Osborn, local singer, has a more than 20-year relationship with Japan and Japanese culture. During that time she has formed close relation-ships with many Japanese artists, including Oyama and Ogushi.

After the earthquake, Osborn helped raise funds for the recovery through perfor-mances on Orcas and in the San Francisco Bay Area, and Oyama helped coordinate the delivery of the funds in Japan.

Area artists Nancy Rumbel, a Grammy award-winning instrumentalist, Jay Kimball on the Lakotah flute, David Densmore on percussion, Maureen Freehill, a butoh danc-

er and Osborn will help provide a musical context for the performance.

Admission is by donation and all money will be donated to the food bank.

Annual Market Day will be held next Saturday, July 28 on the Episcopal Church lawn from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Market Day is its major fundraising project, with all proceeds going to our Orcas Island community. It benefits local organizations such as the Food Bank, Kaleidoscope, Children’s House, Domestic Violence, Hearts and Hands and the Senior Center.

This year’s Market Day will again feature lots of fresh homemade pies and other yummy baked goods, and a beautiful Silver Tea in the new Parish Hall. Hot dogs and sodas will be avail-able outdoors at the hotdog stand.

“It is a great opportunity to look for bargains from St. Agnes’ attic on the tables of tools, jewelry, games, puzzles, CDs, special books, household goods, and other ‘treasures’ for all ages on the lawn,” say organizers.

Rain or shine, the annual Olga Daze celebration will take place on Saturday, July 21 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event features food,

continuous live music, the world’s shortest parade, large yard sale, silent auc-tion of prime island servic-es and fine things, and the

raffle of the Olga Quilt. Everything takes place at

the Olga Park. Start with Betty Marcum’s famous maple bars. Shop the huge barn sale under the direc-tion of Steve and Lynn Emmes; and place your bids for items in the silent auc-tion. Listen to the music of island favorites Allmost Canadian, Carl Burger and Marc Cohen, Katie Jensen,

Sharon Abreu and Michael Hurwicz and The Parking Angels.

The parade lines up at noon and everyone present is invited to be a part of the fun and march along to the rhythms of the Oddfellows and their drums, whistles, and bells and the siren of the fire engine. Follow the parade with a visit to the food pavilion, where you will find baked potatoes; Frito chili pie; grilled Italian sausage; hot dogs; lemonade and strawberry shortcake.

Proceeds from Olga Daze are used to main-tain the Olga Community Clubhouse, which bears the sign “Olga Energetic Club.”

The building was con-structed in 1913 for a group

of 12 Olga ladies who had joined together in 1912 to have fun and do good works. The building will be 100 years old next year, as will Jane Willis Barfoot-Hodde, who lives across the street. Her mother, Louise Willis, was one of the origi-nal Energetic ladies and

Barfoot-Hodde’s daughters, Irene Barfoot O’Neil and Fran Barfoot MacMillan, were the creators of Olga Daze in 1998.

In 1995, the few remain-ing members of the Energetics presented the deed to the building to the Olga Community Club president, Barbara Wheeler. She is currently chairman of Olga Daze and is co-grand marshal of the 2012 parade with Jenny Welch, also a former president of the Community Club. They will be riding in the parade in the 1913 “Woody” owned and driven by Dave and Kitty Baxter of Lieber Haven.

The parade will feature a big red Orcas Island fire truck, as the new Orcas Fire Chief is local Olga boy Kevin O’Brien, son of long-time Olga resident and former Orcas Island High School principal Coleen O’Brien. Coleen just completed painting the entry hall in the community clubhouse.

by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONGEditor/Publisher

T he chamber music festival is honoring its 15 years in style with more artists, more concerts and two premiere

works.“This year includes both highlights

from previous festivals and new ele-ments,” said Artistic Director Aloysia Friedmann. “It is truly a celebration.”

The Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival will run from Aug. 9 to 25. Each concert includes a 7:30 p.m. per-formance, followed the next day by a 5 p.m. concert. Receptions featuring hors d’oeuvres and Thurston Wolfe wines follow each show.

Patrons will hear two world pre-miere works by renowned pianist and composer Jake Heggie. Mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade will pres-ent two concerts. The Miró Quartet, as “Quartet-in-Residence,” will perform concerts on Orcas and a first-ever con-cert on Lopez Island.

Also new this year are “Hamlet” con-certs featuring the Miró Quartet on a classical bus tour, performing in com-munity centers throughout Orcas.

Other festival artists include Rod Gilfry, opera baritone; violinists Andrés Cárdenes, Chee-Yun, Ida Levin, Monique Mead and Sandy Yamamoto; cellists Desmond Hoebig and Anne

Martindale Williams; pianists Orli Shaham and Laurana Mitchelmore; pianist and conductor Adam Stern; flutist Lorna McGhee; Friedman on violin/viola; and festival artistic advisor Jon Kimura Parker on piano.

Festival highlightsThe festival kicks off on Aug. 9 with

Miró Quartet concerts at the Olga Community Club at 10:30 a.m., the West Sound Community Club at 2 p.m. and finishing at the Deer Harbor club at 5 p.m.

On Aug. 10, the Miró Quartet will perform with Friedmann at Grace Church on Lopez, starting at 5 p.m.

One of Heggie’s never-before-heard works will be presented on Aug. 11 and 12 during “A Flurry of Violins!” with a group of artists, including Friedmann and her husband and Parker. Heggie, who wrote such operas as “Dead Man Walking” and “Moby Dick,” is a long-time friend of Friedmann and Parker. He wrote this piece specifically for the festival.

“We commissioned it and found a group of underwriters,” Friedmann said. “It is a suite for the violin and viola. It’s really going to be quite some-thing.”

Heggie’s second work will be per-formed on Aug. 14 and 15 in “Beloved Music.” The piece was commissioned

by the “Seattle Commissionary Club,” a group of five classic music-loving couples. When they heard Heggie was coming to Orcas, they asked the work to be premiered during the festival.

“It's remarkable we’re having all of this occur on the 15th anniversary,” Friedmann said.

A free outdoor concert in the Village Green takes place on Sunday, August 19. This event drew a large crowd when the festival celebrated its 10th Anniversary, and fans have been requesting another ever since. This year’s concert will include a selection of Broadway songs, works from Mozart and Brahms, and the classical favor-ite Saint-Saens’ “Carnival of the Animals,” narrated by celebrated children’s author Jack Prelutsky and featuring two grand pia-nos.

The Orcas Library is holding a sum-mer reading events for kids, includ-

ing story times that center around the “Carnival of the Animals.” The program will conclude with the free concert.

Frederica von Stade will perform with long-time musical partner – and

part-time Orcas resident – Laurana Mitchelmore on Aug. 20 and 22. The program will feature everything from classical arias and art songs to Sondheim's “Send in the Clowns.”

The above is just a sampling of what the festival offers. For a full schedule, visit www.oicmf.org or call 1-866-492-0003. Tickets already on the move.

“Many people tell me, ‘Oh, this year was the best ever.’ But when I go into the next season, I never try to trump

the season before,” Friedmann said. “I struggle with key components … mak-ing the combinations work, joining the old with the new … but I have trust in myself.”

contributed photoTwo of Jake Heggie’s compositions will be premiered at the festival.

CALENDAR

Three well-known island residents, Bob Littlewood, Dale Heisinger, and Louellen McCoy will make music together at the Brown Bag concert on Wednesday, July 18.

Bob Littlewood who plays the clarinet, also plays in the Orcas Community Band, the Island Sinfonia,

Orcatrazz Swing Band, and various chamber groups. He has come, late in life, to appreciate a skill he did not work hard at enough as a youth.

Dale Heisinger, cello, is a retired physician from Bellingham who played with the Whatcom Symphony. He also plays with the Island

Sinfonia and local chamber groups.

Louellen McCoy, piano, has lived on Orcas for 50 years and has had the plea-sure of playing for many events on the island, as well as being pianist for the Orcas Choral Society. she enjoys making beauti-ful music with her fellow musicians.

Emmanuel Episcopal Parish and the music com-mittee is presenting eight concerts each season. The concerts are held on Wednesdays at noon, in the church. They are free of charge but donations are welcomed to fund the Virgil Cleveland Memorial Scholarship.

BoDaLo Trio at Brown Bag“Translating Rilke” will be presented

by John Friedmann during the Writer’s Roundtable on Saturday, July 21 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Orcas Library.

Rainer Maria Rilke, a Bohemian-Austrian poet writing in German and French, was born in Prague 136 years ago. He is widely admired for his lyrical poetry as well as for two major sequences: The Duino Elegies (1912-22) and the Sonnets to Orpheus (1922-24). Although widely translated into English and many other languages, much of his poetry remains in effect untranslatable, and the extant versions differ sometimes widely from each other. In this comparative reading, we will try to explore the reasons for these differences as a way of plumbing Rilke’s meaning, as well as present a lin-

guistic and cultural argument, illustrated with appropriate examples, of why even the “essential” Rilke often comes to us in badly distorted translations.

Friedmann divides his time between Orcas Island and Vancouver, B.C. where he is honorary professor at the University of British Columbia’s School of Community and Regional Planning. Some of his poems have been published in various small collec-tions, but mostly he has written for his own delight. He also loves to translate poetry, especially the larger works of Garcia Lorca, Pablo Neruda and Paul Celan.

Mostly John writes academic books, which he has published more than a dozen. John is married to Leonie Sandercock.

KindlingsFest is add-ing a third film, “5 Broken Cameras,” for the Sundance Select portion of the event. Winner of the director award at Sundance 2012, the film follows five camer-as each with a story of their own. Self-taught cameraman Emad Burnat, a Palestinian villager, joins forces with Guy Davidi, an Israeli film-maker, and together they create a powerful piece of work. It will be shown on July 25 at 9:30 p.m. at the Community Church. All three Sundance films are included in the registration fee for KindlingsFest, which is July 25 to July 28. For more info, visit www.thek-indlings.com/kindlingsfest/.

Carolyn Cruso will play a concert at the Stage on the Green as part of the Music in the Park series, Sunday, July 22, 6 to 8 p.m. Cruso captures Orcas audiences with her intricate hammered dulcimer composi-tions, fine guitar playing, expressive vocals and poetic writing. In her upcoming show, she’ll be joined by Ben Sheppard on electric bass and bazouki and Randy Jezierski on percussion. Cruso’s music is largely inspired by her travels both in the U.S. and Europe, as well as her connection to nature, and keen interest in the stories of people she meets out on the road.

J.W. McClure of “Victory Music Review,” describes Cruso voice as “expressive and fluid…her guitar work is exceptional … this is passionate stuff.” For more info, visit www.carolyncruso.com.

Indian Island is the small island you see in the bay when going through Eastsound. It is accessible via a tombolo (revealed pathway at low tide) in day-light only a handful of days a year. The Indian Island Marine Health Observatory is documenting and moni-toring the populations of marine life which inhabit the incredibly rich environs of Indian Island.

In addition to documen-

tation, IIMHO stewards share all sorts of information about the island to the 8,000 – 10,000 visitors who yearly walk out to this Bureau of Land Management prop-erty.

Research protocols for the low tides July 18-21 with start times are as follows:

Wed., July 18 – 9:30 a.m. (-1.3) – Invertebrate Surveys

Thurs., July 19 – 10:30 a.m. (-1.3) – Invertebrate

Surveys Fri., July 20 – 11:00

a.m. (-1.2) – Invertebrate Surveys

Sat., July 21 – 10:00 a.m. (-0.8)– Live tank and infor-mation booth at the Orcas Farmers’ Market

The IIMHO team is always looking for new vol-unteers if you would like to help. The season extends to all low tides through August 2. Call Marcia Spees at 376-4084.

Harbor seal pupping sea-son is in full swing in San Juan County.

Harbor seals are the most numerous marine mammals in the Salish Sea and there are almost 5,000 harbor seals in San Juan County alone. Seals pup every July giving birth to pups weighing about 22 pounds. They’re not very fat when first born and are

only able to follow their mothers in the water for brief periods, usually pre-ferring to remain onshore while their mothers are out foraging. Mother seals nurse their pups for four to six weeks, in which time pups more than double in weight. After that, pups are left to fend for themselves.

Mothers and pups can easily become separated

and pups will usually haul out on the beach to stay warm. If you see a seal pup on the beach keep people and pets away from the ani-mal and call the San Juan County Marine Mammal Stranding Network at 1-800-562-8832.

This program, run through The Whale Museum, responds to all live and dead marine mammal

strandings in the county. Trained Stranding Network members will return your call then make a decision whether to tag the pup and leave it on the beach or bring it in for rehabilitation at the Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center on San Juan Island.

Pups that are left on the beach are tagged to iden-tify them and monitor them to see if they reunite with their mothers or need fur-ther attention. This sum-mer stranded harbor seal pups will not only get tagged with a flipper tag, but also with temporary hat tags, which are easier to see from a distance and while seals are in the water. Hat tags will allow researchers to gather valuable informa-tion about seal movement. The tags are glued to the hair on the pup’s head and fall off when the pup molts its coat the following year.

SeaDoc Society and Whale Museum interns Karisa Tang and Christine Parker (both third year University of California, Davis veterinary students)

deployed the first hat tag, number J9, earlier this week on a 20-pound female pup that stranded on Yellow Island.

Anyone who spots a seal sporting a hat tag is asked to please call the Stranding Network Hotline (1-800-562-8832) and leave a mes-sage indicating the number on the hat tag, the location of the seal, and any other pertinent information relat-ed to the sighting.
