Staff reportIt’s brand new. It can carry 144

automobiles. And it’s poised to take not only

its place as the newest boat among the ferry system fleet, but to sail as one of the primary ferries in the San Juans as well.

Washington State Ferries took possession of the $126 million Samish from boat builder and contractor Portland, Oregon-based Vigor Industrial in early April.

Following two months of sea tri-als and crew training, the Olympic Class ferry will begin service on the Anacortes/San Juan Islands route Sunday, June 14, on the eve of the summer sailing season.

“I’m delighted to take delivery of the Samish,” Ferries Assistant Secretary Lynne Griffith said in a recent press release. “More than 23 million passengers rely on our ferry system every year. Adding another Olympic Class vessel rep-resents the state’s continued com-mitment to replace older vessels and plan for the future.”

Along with more space for tall-er vehicles, the Samish offers an

New ferry bound for service

A San Juan Island man accused of dumping 66 automobile tires over an embankment and onto the shoreline of a publicly owned nature preserve is off the hook.

In a decision handed down March 11, San Juan County Hearings Examiner Phil Olbrechts ruled the county lacked sufficient evidence to tie 34-year-old Richard Morgan Foley to the pile of tires discarded on the waterfront of Deadman Bay a year ago in mid-March and dismissed one of two notices of violation leveled against him.

Foley, who filed an appeal to contest allega-tions of illegal dumping, faced a bill of $4,600

for reimbursement of cleanup costs, a $1,000 fine and possible criminal prosecution if he failed to comply with “corrective actions” as spelled out in the notice.

“It’s unfortunate,” county Code Enforcement Officer Christopher Laws said of the outcome of the case. “If you read the decision you get the sense the hearing examiner felt that all indications are Mr. Foley was responsible. But lacking a fingerprint on any of the tires or a witness we had to go with what we had.”

Meanwhile, Land Bank Director Lincoln Bormann said the waterfront preserve, a cov-eted picnic spot and favored by kayakers, weathered the incident without a great deal of damage.

“The main thing was having them there and having to remove all those tires,” he said. “We did worry about them getting into the marine environment or getting wedged into the mud of the tidal area.”

The laws of probability and photographs of tires and their make and model, were at the center of the county’s case.

Photographs were taken of tires as part of an earlier investigation into a un-permitted salvage and wrecking that Foley reportedly operated at one time at his Roche Harbor Road home, a property, which according to county records, is owned by his mother, a Montana resident.

Principal Page says goodbye

by CALI BAGBYAssistant editor

Elementary Principal Kathy Page is leaving her position.

“For me to say I have enjoyed my time at Orcas Island Elementary School would be a huge under-statement,” said Page in a recent letter to the parents of elementary students.

Page is saying goodbye to the island to attend graduate school. She looks back at her time here as full of accomplishments. Her “Beat the Bell” program reduced lateness by 40 percent. Other highlights of her time include monthly assembles and spirit days. She credits the staff with improving the school by designing curriculum maps for writing and implementing reading interven-tion schedules and strategies.

“These efforts will go a long way increasing student achievement,” said Page, who was appointed principal of elementary and mid-dle schoolers in 2013.

Page has worked in education for more than 25 years, and 13 of those years she spent work-ing in pre-kindergarten to eighth grade. She received her bachelor of arts from Central Washington

Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center has announced it made the difficult decision to postpone The Bite of Orcas, which has happened over Memorial Day weekend for the past 20 years.

“Hopefully we will be able to find another date this sum-

mer that will work when more restaurants will be able to participate,” said Wolf Hollow Executive Director Julie Duke. “Unfortunately that means we will not have the pro-ceeds in spring, when we have so many little mouths (and beaks) to feed.”

Bite of Orcas to be postponed

On Monday, May 25, the American Legion Post 93 Color Guard will be paying tribute to past veterans at Woodlawn Cemetery at 11 a.m. The public is encour-aged to attend.

Everyone is also invited to attend the Memorial weekend “Freedom is Not Free” exhibit at American Legion, showcasing many photos and mementos shared by veterans and their families.

The exhibit will take place at the American Legion Post

93, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, May 23 - 25, from noon to 4 p.m. For info, call 376-5413.

Several veterans and their family members will be present throughout the exhibit to chat about their loved ones and what it was like for them being in the service or being a “military brat.” Learn about life as a Prisoner of War from Chuck Greening whose father was of Doolittle’s Raiders and also a POW during WWII plus interesting facts about

the resulting POW expo-sition tour following the war. Greening will be pres-ent from noon to 2 p.m. on Monday, May 25 to talk about his dad’s life.

Many interesting stories, maps, photos and much more will be shared by vet-erans who will be present and happy to talk to you.

There will also be participa-tion from the Orcas Island Historical Museum.

“So mark your calendar and plan to attend with your whole family as we recog-nize and honor those past and present who stand for us and proudly signify that ‘freedom is not free,’” say organizers.

Vying for the position of Honorary Mayor of Eastsound, five local poli-ticians (three canines, one caique parrot and an orca), officially hit the campaign trail Saturday, May 23 dur-ing the annual Pet Parade.

This year’s candidates include canines Sullie (managed by Hailey Crowe), Bentley (man-aged by Raymond Harvey and Courtney Ray) and Lewis (managed by Janice Williams and Greg Sawyer.) Rounding out the field is Oliver, a parrot (managed by Jody Fox), and Jpod Southern Resident, Granny (managed by Alex Callen).

The animals have loyal support from this year’s sponsors, including The Lower Tavern, Orcas Island Sea Glass, Ray’s Pharmacy,

Nest and Deer Harbor Charters.

The mayoral race is an annual fundraiser spon-sored by and benefiting Children’s House. Voting is open to both islanders and visitors, who “buy” candi-dates into office by placing as many votes as they want at area polling locations or online. Each vote benefits the toddler and preschool program of Children’s House. The race concludes July 4th when the new Honorary Mayor is named

and given a key to the vil-lage.

Over the last several years, mayoral candidates – including dogs, cats, chick-ens, sheep, bunnies,and beloved bovine April – helped raise more than $36,000 for the school. The goal is to top $10,000 this

year.Current Mayor Jack (a

golden retriever) will not be seeking a second term and has yet to reveal which candidate he’ll back.

The ochre sea star is an incredible creature that lives in the inter tidal zone around the San Juan Islands and along the west coast from Alaska to California. Ochre sea stars are

4 to 10 inches in length and can be deep purple or orange in color. Sea stars belong to the Phylum of echinoderms, which have characteristics such as a water vascular system, tube feet, and 5-way radial symmetry. Instead of pumping blood, ochre sea stars pump water through their bodies. They move around slowly on hundreds of tiny tube feet that resemble suction cups that keep them securely fastened to the rocks they live on. Sea stars are symmetrical, having � ve arms that can regrow if one becomes sev-ered. Sea star populations are critical to maintaining balance in the ecosystem because they eat barnacles and other crustaceans that live on the rocks of the inter tidal zone. The ochre sea star uses tube feet to move slowly but surely over it’s prey. It then ejects it’s stomach outside of it’s body over it’s meal and begins digesting it immediately with a very caustic acid.

Over the past year these amazingly resilient creatures have faced a major population decline due to “Sea Star Wasting Syndrome.” This syndrome is a disease that causes the literal disintegration of the sea stars and has been widespread along the western coast. Mussels, limpets, and barnacles could easily overpopulate if sea stars weren’t around to keep their numbers in check, throwing off the entire balance of the ecosystem. Most scientists have concluded that this syndrome is likely caused by a pathogen. As alarming as this disease is, sea stars have experienced viral plagues such as this one with some regularity throughout history. The good news is that the sea star population is currently rebounding from the last impacts of this disease and their numbers are increasing. It is important to study this keystone species in order to determine natural � uctuations in their popula-tions versus human impacts in order to aid in their conservation.

May is mental health awareness month

Project PAL thank youTwenty years ago, Project PAL

was started by Beth Anderson of OPALCO and a few commu-nity volunteers so co-op members could give each other a hand up with electric bills in tough times. This gets done by rounding up the power bills to the next whole dollar amount and donating the differ-ence. The round ups average $6 a year per account. The average PAL grant is $150 for the heating season.

Right now there are 3,100 mem-bers who round up their bill every month for Project PAL. You know who you are and every penny from your round up contribution goes right to somebody’s bill who applied for help.

The 2014-2015 heating season is over and together we helped 220 low income members keep the power on through this last winter, and 116 of those members were seniors or disabled. That is an amazing, uplifting impact on our whole community. As the Project Pal coordinator and an OPALCO Member Services Representative, I want to thank you for rounding up your bill. Thank you for easing the stress of making it through the winter. Thank you for being the funding backbone of Project PAL.

If you think you are one of the people who round up but are not sure, please call OPALCO at 376-

3500 and anyone there would be happy to check, to set up your account for round up or answer any questions about the program. I find it inspiring what we can do together.

Let’s get money out of politics

Are you tired of billionaires and corporations running/ruining our country, buying candidates and political outcomes? The only solu-tion is to get money out of politics by passing a constitutional amend-ment that says that money is not speech and that corporations are not people.

Sixteen states are already on record in support of this consti-tutional amendment, and you can be part of the effort to make Washington the 17th state.

Simply stop by my table at the Farmers’ Market anytime between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 23. I will provide you with a petition and information to get your friends easily persuaded to sign. If you can’t make it then, call me at 376-4165, or email [email protected].

We know our system needs to change, and this is a chance for all of us to do something concrete to help create that change. I hope to hear from you. Thanks.

Editorial

Living with a mental illness can be a deeply private, painful experience. It is difficult to talk about or know how to get help. And for the family members of an ill person, the emotions

range from sadness to anger to guilt.

Each year millions of Americans face the reality of living with a men-tal health condition, and in 2013 President Obama proclaimed May as National Mental Health Awareness Month. It is a time to raise awareness and educate the public.

According to the National Alliance of Mental Illness, “trying to tell the difference between what expected behaviors are and what might be the signs of a mental illness isn’t always easy.”

Here are some common signs:

• Excessive worrying or fear, feeling excessively sad or low

• Confused thinking or problems concentrating and learning

• Extreme mood changes, including uncontrollable “highs” or feel-ings of euphoria

• Prolonged or strong feelings of irritability or anger

• Avoiding friends and social activities, difficulties relating to other people

• Changes in sleeping habits or feeling tired, changes in eating hab-its such as increased hunger or lack of appetite, changes in sex drive

• Difficulty perceiving reality, inability to perceive changes in one’s own feelings, behavior or personality

• Abuse of substances like alcohol or drugs

• Multiple physical ailments without obvious causes

• An intense fear of weight gain or concern with appearance (mostly in adolescents)

For more warning signs, go to http://www.nami.org/Learn-More/Know-the-Warning-Signs.

If you need help or know someone who is struggling, please reach out. Psychologist and suicide survivor Katie Hurley wrote in “There’s Nothing Selfish About Suicide” on Huffington Post that 50 to 75 percent of people who attempt suicide will tell someone about their intention.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is 1-800-273-8255. San Juan County provides mental health services through Compass Health. There is 24-hour crisis response as well as individual, family and group therapy services. State funding assures the availability of these services to all regardless of the ability to pay. Compass Health can be reached at 378-2669 and the crisis line is 1-800-584-3578.

It’s important to note that mental health problems are not limited to suicide. Those with anxiety, depression, eating disorders and ad-dictive behaviors can find solace – but they can’t do it alone.

Buyral Earl MadanBuyral Earl Madan was born

in Bozeman, Mont., on June 28, 1925 to Carl and Naoma (Tudor) Madan and passed away on May 10, 2015 in Eastsound, Orcas Island, Wash.

Buyral was 14 when his family moved to Orcas Island. He gradu-ated from Orcas High School in 1943 and joined the United States Merchant Marines. While in the Merchant Marines, he was diag-nosed with severe hearing loss, which eventually led to complete deafness. He never learned sign language but amazed everyone with his ability to read lips.

Upon his return to Orcas Island in 1945, he married the love of his life, Ellen Marie Bruns. They would have celebrated their 70th anniversary July 14, 2015.

Buyral worked as a logger and then as an electrician as a young man, working at Sunnyshore Electric for close family friend Carl Weber. He donated many hours installing the first runway lights at the Eastsound airport, light-ing at the original medical clinic in Eastsound, the Community Church and the Sea View Theatre. In the mid-1950s he joined Orcas Power and Light Company, begin-ning with installing the numbers on poles for 10 cents per number, and eventually becoming superin-tendent of the Orcas district upon his father-in-law’s (Eber Bruns) retirement. Buyral retired from

OPALCO in 1990. After a back injury was improved

by walking, he not only walked, he took up jogging and completed a 26-mile marathon at age 60. He participated in numerous Masters Track and Field events and earned many medals along the way. He was perhaps most proud of earn-ing a medal in the 300-meter hurdles and the triple jump at the National Meet in Chicago in 1991. Over the years, he ran less and walked more, and waved to everyone during his early morn-ing walks on his three-mile loop.

One of his greatest joys was watching his grandchildren and great-grandchildren enjoying his well-tended yard and orchard. Many islanders will remember his tremendous Christmas light-ing display, which he began in

1950 at their home on Prune Alley in the location where the Long House now stands and continued when they moved to their home on Terrill Beach Road. Buyral was an extremely devoted husband,

father, son, brother, uncle and friend and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He was kind, strong but gentle, reliable and committed to his family and many friends.

He will be greatly missed. Buyral was preceded in death by his par-ents and four siblings, Melvin (Debby); Helen Mahoney (Paul); Rolley (Phyllis); and Shirley Eagen (Gene). He is survived by his wife of nearly 70 years, their children Richard (Judi); Sandra Clark; and Barry (Bev), all of Orcas Island, 10 grandchildren, 21 great-grand-children, two great-great grand-children and numerous nieces and nephews.

A memorial service is planned for May 31 in their backyard from 1 to 4 p.m.

Eldon Dale NealEldon Dale Neal, 82, passed

away quietly at his home on Orcas Island, Wash., on Friday, May 8, 2015 with family present.

He was born Feb. 25, 1933 in Abilene, Kan., the son of Daniel L. Neal and Nellie Louise Neaderhiser. At an early age Eldon and his family moved to Alhambra, Calif., and then to Bend, Ore., where he attended and graduated from Bend High School at the age of 18.

While still in high school at age 17, Eldon was accepted to join the Army Reserve and went to Ft. Lewis, Tacoma, Wash., for training. After graduating from high school he signed up for the regular Army and served in Korea as an architect with secret ser-vice credentials in design of air-fields in Korea for daily recon-naissance information for service

commanders. Ranking as a Staff Sergeant, Eldon stood up in the Signal Corps and was the designer of his Signal Corps unit’s shoulder patch insignia that is still used to this day. He also spent time in several places in Japan, includ-ing Hiroshima and Tokyo. Serving from 1950 to 1955, Eldon was “forever proud” to be a Korean War Veteran. After serving in Korea, he was stationed at Camp

Claybanks on the shores of Lake Michigan.

While in the service, Eldon had saved enough money for a 1954 Chevy Bel Air. He had his father order it and when he arrived back he drove to Kalamazoo, Mich., to pick up his new car. On weekend leave he was a hired hand on the Gowell Family Farm in Rothbury, Mich., assisting with bailing and packing hay into the barns. There Eldon met and married Valda Pearl Gowell, and they moved out to Bend, Ore., to be with his fam-ily. They had two sons, Murray and Michael.

In 1966, Eldon moved to Orcas Island, Wash., to work with his father and brother in the construc-tion business. He owned Edelweiss Construction, a construction and building repair business on Orcas until his retirement. Eldon had a passion his whole life for serv-ing the Catholic Church from his

childhood days as an altar boy in Mission San Gabriel Arcángel, Los Angeles, Calif. to assisting up to the time of his death with church duties in the St. Francis Parish where he was a very active member. Eldon was instrumental in building the new St. Francis Church in Eastsound. His hobbies included gardening, woodworking and building miniature scale mod-els of boats and waterfront houses. He especially enjoyed his annual cruise on Holland America Lines with his mother and his morning coffee with friends at the Island Market in Eastsound.

Eldon was preceded in death by his father Daniel L. Neal and mother Nellie L. Neaderhiser. Survivors include his sons Murray L. Neal and wife Lisa and grand-son Bradley residing in Ariz., and Michael L. Neal and wife Ellen and their sons, Kenneth, Daniel and Jacob and wife Shannon all resid-

ing in Virginia; brother Dennis L. Neal and wife Patricia; nephew Denis D. Neal Jr. and wife Kateri and their eight children; and his morning coffee buddies all resid-ing in Wash.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10 a.m., Tuesday, May 26, at St. Francis Catholic Church, Eastsound. Following cremation, a graveside interment will be held at 10 a.m., Thursday, May 28 at Mount Baker Cemetery, Eastsound. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Francis Catholic Church, PO Box 1489, Friday Harbor, WA 98250 noting “Orcas Church” with your contribution. Arrangements are in the care of Evans Funeral Chapel and Crematory, Inc., Anacortes, Wash. and the San Juan Islands.

“It’s been an honor for Vigor to partner with Washington State Ferries

on this vessel, and the nine other ferries we’ve built to serve the people of Washington,” said Vigor’s Bryan Nichols, director of sales. “The Samish repre-sents the very best in state-of-the-art ferry design and has helped strengthen the maritime community by supporting over 500 jobs throughout the Puget

Sound.” The new ferry’s name

comes from a tribal word meaning, “giving people.”

It is the second of three state-funded, Olympic Class vessels to replace the aging, midcentury-era Evergreen State Class vessels.

Page has worked in vari-ous states across the U.S., including Fort Campbell on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee where her hus-band was stationed with the Army. There she worked as a middle school principal

and a response to interven-tion coordinator.

She initially came to Orcas with the hopes that she could find a community that had traveled back in time to an era she thought had disappeared.

“My impression is that this community takes care of each other,” she said in a 2013 interview. “I feel like I have stepped back in time to a better place and time. I

didn’t believe places like this existed anymore.”

Now as Page departs she said she takes with her a wealth of “fond memories.” Working with the students every day allowed her to go home every night with a smile on her face.

“They are thoughtful, creative and they are going to make a positive impact on our world,” she said.

At that time, he already had been ordered to dispose of an assortment of tires amassed on the property. In the case involving the dump-ing of tires at Deadman Bay, the county argued the make and model of the tires pho-tographed as part of an ear-lier investigation at Roche Harbor Road were consis-tent with those of seven recovered at Deadman Bay. It then argued that, based on an analysis prepared by a Bellingham-based statistics professor, the chance that

the same seven models of tires would appear in both places by coincidence is 51,000 to one.

Olbrechts acknowledged that while the probability aspect of the county case proved compelling, it did not show by itself that the mass of tires at Deadman Bay were dumped by Foley.

“The statistical report made no direct conclusions of the likelihood that the appellant had dumped tires on the shoreline,” he said.

Olbrechts noted the county’s case may have suf-fered because the professor who produced the prob-

ability report did not attend the hearing in late February, and that its bearing on the evidence had either been misapplied by county staff or would have benefited by further explanation.

In a separate notice of violation, although related, Foley was also ordered a year ago to cease and desist the salvage operation at Roche Harbor Road, and to remove a multitude of assorted broken down vehi-cles, scrap metal, appliances and cast-off mechanical parts scattered around the property. That case remains unresolved.

The cause of death for a 25-year-old inmate at the Island County jail may be dehydration, according to Island County Coroner Robert Bishop.

Corrections deputies reported finding Keaton Farris deceased in his jail cell at 12:20 a.m., April 8.

"At this time, there is nothing to indicate that this could be a homicide or suicide," Bishop said today.

Bishop said initial laboratory testing indicates that Farris may have died from dehydration, but that the determination of the cause and manner of death may not be

completed for another four to six weeks.Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said

two corrections deputies are on paid admin-istrative leave pending an investigation into possible department policy violations fol-lowing the death.

Farris was being held on an identify theft charge out of San Juan County and was incarcerated at the Island County jail since March 26, 2015, according to the sheriff.

Brown said Farris was by himself in a "safety room" at the jail when he died.

Online court records show that Farris was being held in lieu of $10,000 bail and ordered to be evaluated by Western State Hospital for competency to stand trial.

Jeremy King, who manages both the Orcas Longhouse and Lavender Hollow apartments, was recognized as 2015 manager of the year at the annual Washington Affordable Housing Management Convention, April 28-29 in Tacoma. Commended for his professionalism, pro-activeness and attention to residents and ongoing maintenance, he was one of seven managers recognized statewide.

King, who works for Ad-West Realty Services, Inc., has been the full-time manager of the 22-unit Lavender Hollow fam-ily apartments for seven years, and the 16-unit Orcas Longhouse senior apart-ments for five years.

“Jeremy constantly goes above and beyond what is expected in taking care of the residents, keeping the properties in top-notch condition and maintain-ing their excellent reputa-tion in the community,” said Warren Westad, owner of Ad-West. When OPAL Community Land Trust bought Lavender Hollow in

2011, King worked closely with OPAL staff, contrac-tors and residents dur-ing the nearly year-long, $900,000 renovation that followed. He has also been instrumental in many hand-icapped accessibility proj-ects, including installation of sidewalk ramps.

“Jeremy makes sure each resident feels appreciated, respected and taken care of,” said Westad. “He has every-one’s best interest at heart.”

Ad-West Realty Services, Inc., manages 85 con-

ventional and affordable apartment communities, including USDA-Rural Development, Tax Credit and HUD properties, pri-marily in Washington state.

Incorporated in 1989, OPAL serves 132 rental and ownership Orcas house-holds and continues to accept applications from people who are not able to purchase a house in the tra-ditional market. Fo info, go to www.opalclt.org or call 376-3191.

Once again Orcas Island has been recognized as one of the top schools in Washington ranking #15 for the state and #740 in the nation. The award was published in the 2015 Best High Schools rankings. This

is an award that the stu-dents, staff (k-12), parents and community should be proud of and once again recognizes the commitment of our entire community to providing a high quality education to our children.

The new Best High Schools rankings, which are available online only, are produced in conjunction with RTI International, a global nonprofit social sci-ence research firm.

Thanks to the generosity of the Orcas Island commu-nity, all 60-plus students in the third and fourth grades at Orcas Elementary School now have ukuleles to play and enhance their musical skills.

Last November Music Teacher Pamela Wright needed 35 more ukuleles. This would ensure that all the students in her com-bined third and fourth grade music classes would have an instrument to play in class and at home. The Music Advocacy Group offered to help make it happen and the Orcas Island Community Foundation gave them the vehicle (OICF’s online cata-log) to let the community know about this need. It was a wonderful joining of

island forces. With OICF donations and additional funding from MAG, the ukuleles were purchased.

“Most of my younger students have never played an instrument other than a recorder,” said Pamela Wright, Director of K-4 General Music, 5-6 Choir and 5-12 Strings. “In fact, purchasing an instrument such as a ukulele would be a luxury that many of my students’ families would be hard-pressed to do. So when I placed ukuleles in my students’ hands for the first time, it feels a little like Christmas. You can see it in their faces. Knowing that they are being trusted to take this instrument home and care for it – it’s a feeling of pride and responsibility,

an excitement at being able to accompany themselves singing, and they are moti-vated to practice.”

“By playing ukulele, stu-dents enhance ear training and learn about chords,” added Wright, “and they gain experience playing as an ensemble. The skills they gain make them stronger musicians as they go into fifth grade strings, choir or band classes.”

The Orcas Island com-munity will have the opportunity to hear the new young uke players at the Kindergarten through fourth Grade Music Concert on Thursday, May 28 at 6:30 p.m. in the Old Gym. The concert is free and open to the public.

The Music Advocacy Group of Orcas Island is dedicated to building a “shining star” school music program, to providing stu-dents with a lifelong means of personal expression and music appreciation, and to creating a point of pride for Orcas Island and the school district. “We firmly believe that SCHOOL MUSIC MATTERS on Orcas Island,” say organizers.

Donations to MAG may be sent to MAG, P.O. Box 1171, Eastsound, WA 98245.

On May 14, six golfers went to the Bi-District Qualification Tournament at the Gallery in Oak Harbor. The course offers challenges Orcas players do not always get to golf. Distance, sand traps, and water hazards are spread throughout the course keeping the gofers on their toes. The weather and course were both excellent.

But through it all, senior Mara Nutt and freshman Lexi Pence qualified to play in districts for Thursday, May 21. Nutt placed second and Lexi took 12th place honors. Serei O'Toole, Luke Bronn, Liam Gretskey-Watson, and Quinn Kissel all gave it their best but did not fin-ish in the top 15 for the men's division.

If the girls qualify at league, they will continue on to state finals in Richland, Wash.

OPALCO maintains the clearance between trees and shrubs and our power lines on a regular schedule. It’s that time of year again. Professional tree trimming crews will be making their rounds beginning the week of May 18. Look for the crews along the roads.

Week of May 18: San Juan Island – Cattle Point and Pear Point areas.

Week of May 28: Orcas Island – from the Orcas Substation to the Eastsound substation, Montgomery Lane and Crow Valley areas.

Week of June 3: S h a w Island – All overhead lines.

Week of June 8: L o p e z Island – Schoolhouse Road and Airport areas.

The scope of work is limited to the established right-of-way boundaries to protect the trees from power lines and protect the system from interrup-tions of power. If hazardous trees are identified, the land owner will be notified and an arborist will be contract-

ed to remove them with permission.

Learn more at www.opalco.com/power-infor-mation/vegetation-tree-trimming/.

Clearance is important throughout the system. Members can help by leav-ing room for the crew to work safely on the devices

in the field and properties. Keep landscaping, shrubs and structures at least 10 feet away from the front side of electrical devices and at least three away from the other sides. OPALCO crews must be able to safely access field devices (those green boxes in particular) at all times.

The room is filled with canvases of bright colors, swirled with glitter and images of animals, oceans and land. The pieces display orcas whales beside whim-sical prints, crocodiles in beach chairs and shad-owy cats against a wash of orange and green.

“It’s silly and it’s fun,” said Gail Anderson-Toombs, a local artist who recent-ly opened a studio called Fabulously Fun Art.

She will be holding an Open House on May 30 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at her studio located in the Eastsound Square above the Pilates studio. There will be door prizes and a chance to see her art.

Anderson-Toombs works in acrylic, pen and ink and colored pencils. She sells original and print work as well as canvas bags, greet-ing cards and T-shirts.

“It’s a dream come true,” said Anderson-Toombs about opening her own stu-dio, which will be officially

open to the public starting May 29.

A n d e r s o n - To o m b s comes from a family of art-ists. Her grandfather was a sign maker, and she still has the book he used to cre-ate those works of arts. But unlike the practice of mak-ing signs her art is nestled in the realm of magic.

“I’m not drawn to real-ism,” she said. “My art is my own perception of the world.”

The artist hopes that the studio will not only be a place to display her work but a space for friends and visitors to come and visit. There are already a few local kids that come by and draw with Anderson-Toombs.

“I want people to come here and be inspired,” she said.

She adds that dogs are welcome in her studio and will be given treats.

Every year the Orcas High School senior class is given the opportunity to dispense $5,000 to island nonprofits through the Orcas Island Community Foundation's annual grant cycle.

The total distributed in 2015 was $183,880 with more than $135,000 contrib-uted by Partners in Philanthropy. A total of 122 community members participated as Partners in Philanthropy. Individual contri-butions ranged from $10 to $48,000.

Grief isn’t your standard topic for a one-woman comedy show. But Ann Randolph pulls it off with wit, grace and a lot of heart.

“It’s a hilarious and outrageous ride about love and loss,” said Randolph, who is performing “Loveland” at Orcas Center. “It’s deeply moving but audiences will also laugh.”

Randolph, pictured at right, is an award-winning play-wright and performer who plays 12 charac-ters in “Loveland.” The show will be presented on the main stage on Friday, May 29 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door.

“Loveland” follows Frannie Potts – an out of control, sexually charged misfit over-whelmed by grief – on a cross-country flight. The show debuted in 2009 in San Francisco and played for two years. Since then, Randolph has been touring the United States The show won the San Francisco Weekly Award for “Best Solo Show” and gar-nered the San Francisco Bay Critic’s Award for “Best Original Script.” It also played in Los Angeles and won the L.A. Weekly Award for “Best Solo Show.”

Randolph, who lives in Los Angeles, worked with the late Ann Bancroft and Mel Brooks for her production “Squeeze Box.”

“They really helped me with my craft, and I am so grateful to them,” Randolph said.

All of Randolph’s shows are semi-autobiographical. She is currently working on an exploration of the cultural differences in America.

After her years of touring, Randolph discovered that audiences members wanted to share their own stories of loss. So following each per-formance, Randolph leads an inter-active writing workshop and par-

ticipants are invited to read their work aloud.

“It’s extraordi-narily beautiful,” she said.

After her perfor-mance on Friday, Randolph will host a two-day work-shop in Orcas Center’s Madrona Room from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day entitled “Write Your Life for the Page and the Stage.”

“This is an invi-tation for you to discover your own unique and powerful story and the profound transformation that occurs when speaking it out loud,” reads the workshop description. “You’ll learn to trust your creative impulses, embracing all of who you are. By becoming the author of your own life and learning how to tell your own story, you will not only learn to craft your experience into a compelling narrative but you will also unleash a sense of purpose in your own life you

never thought possible.”Randolph says she creates a “sup-

portive, fun and dynamic space” in which to create. All levels are wel-come.

“You don’t have to be a writer – it’s about expressing your truth,” she said. “We are all incredibly creative, and it’s about taking the time to express that part of yourself.”’

Topics include:• Writing exercises to stimulate

memory• Learning to structure the narra-

tive in a compelling way• Discovering ways to create spon-

taneously• Overcoming performance anxi-

ety• Tools to release yourself from the

inner critic• Transforming your ideas/stories

‘Loveland’ is inappropriate in all the right ways. Its zaniest moments always seem to bend inexorably toward heart-wrenching epiphany.

“Aging as a Spiritual Journey: Challenges, Blessings, and Possibilities” will be held at the Emmanuel Parish Hall on May 23 from 1 to 5 p.m. There is a sug-gested offering of $15. For more information call the church at 376-2352. Using presentation and interac-tive processes, presenters Linda Ricketts and Robert Ferré will explore ways to embrace the third stage of life.

“Some try to resist aging, seeing it only as a time of

physical diminishment, social isolation and limita-tion,” say Ricketts and Ferré. “There is, however, a differ-ent, more life-giving para-digm for aging which focus-es on gratitude, reflection, creativity, deepening rela-tionship and service to oth-ers. Ideally, all phases of life are lived fully, especially our later years when we benefit from acquired wisdom and life experience. While some doors are indeed closed as we age, many others are opened.”

Invasive Plant Species/Noxious Weed Alert! Look for spurge laurel on your property and in the community. It is a shade tolerant shrub, typically two to four feet tall, with shiny smooth evergreen leaves that are lighter in color underneath and are alternately arranged in dense spirals near the ends of the branches.

The light greenish yellow flowers are clustered at the base of the leaves and bloom between March and May. Fruits are little oval black berries with one seed and are poison-ous. Spurge laurel has been spotted on all the main islands as well as many of the smaller ones, in forest understories and at private residences. The black berries and sap are toxic to humans, livestock, dogs and cats. The plant is native to Europe and North Africa and is rapidly naturalizing throughout San Juan County, shading out natives and sup-

pressing forest regeneration. It is considered a serious threat to Garry oak woodlands and dry madrone/Douglas fir for-ests in the San Juan Islands and coastal British Columbia. The plant reproduces through seeds, often spread by birds and rodents and through production of root sprouts. Spurge laurel may be confused with English or Portugal laurel, pieris, azaleas, or immature rhododendrons but may be distinguished by the densely whorled flowers cluster near the top of the stem.

Hand pulling small plants is effective. Wear gloves and protective gear when handling spurge laurel due to the tox-ins in the sap, stem, leaves and fruits.

Larger shrubs can be pulled with a weed wench, treated with a selective herbicide or cut below the soil line. Herbicide applied to the cut stump prevents re-sprouting.

Spurge laurel is a Class B Noxious Weed and is designated for control in the county.

Weed alert: spurge laurel

by COLLEEN STEWARTSchool Garden Keeper

Thank you, Americorps Volunteers.

On a sunny Saturday, a team of six National Civilian Community Corps Americorps volunteers from around the country worked in our school gar-den assembling pallet plat-forms for mural painting, fixing gates with spring closures, securing the com-post and worm bin doors with chain, moving a mas-sive dirt pile, installing our sink for washing veggies, making ramps for handi-cap accessible garden path-ways, fixing garden artwork and braving wasps nests to organize our tool shed.

Their work ethic, posi-

tivity, humor and initiative made for an ultra lovely and productive afternoon.

Two years in the making, our garden gate received its crowning touch: two metal arches with dangling leaves that students have been forging over the past two years with local blacksmith Jorgen Harle. We are so thankful for his guidance and artistry.

Also, a big thank you to seventh grade student Ewan who heated, hammered and installed at each of the past four wrap-up sessions. Come check out our grand new entrance!

Last week, in the garden, we planted a potato patch full of yellow, purple and red potatoes. We distrib-

uted wood chips around our garden pathways. We gleaned unwanted pallets, wire spools and rocks from the construction site to re-purpose for our garden.

The strawberries, kale, broccoli, nasturtium, spin-ach, carrots, beets and let-

tuce already planted this year are thriving, and peas are hanging in there.

The kids have also been prepping beds in the old garden and lining them with rocks. We've been observing how big the fava bean forest is getting, and

how verdant and full our magic maple tree is these spring days.

Three dead robin babies were found last week, and the kids buried them with song and procession, mak-ing them graves scattered in flowers.

Just a few months ago the tone was more celebratory, as the old fence was taken down around the original small garden and the kids held a wedding of the two gardens.

The garden continues to give the kids lessons on life, and death as well.

Artist extraordinaire Brook Meinhardt, has been working with our sixth grade students to create a mural in our garden from individual sketches the kids drew. Images represent a memories from their time in F2C, and include quite a wonky array of bees, bugs, vegetables, an ice cream cone and a hand missing a finger.

The mural will be paint-ed over the next few weeks, so be sure to check in on the process.

Dog park bake saleOrcas Off-Leash Area

will be having their annual Bake Sale Fundraiser on Saturday, May 23. They’ll be between the Orcas Historical Museum at 123 North Beach Road from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. with lots of tasty goodies,

OOLA relies on dona-tions to maintain this well-used community resource. These funds are used to offset the expense of insur-ance premiums, grass mow-ing, weekly trash pick-ups,

wood chips and, of course, Mutt Mitts. Thanks to com-munity support, these nec-essary costs are covered, and the Orcas Off-Leash Area remains available as a fun place to take your four-legged friends.

For more information or to donate a baked good, con-tact Katie at [email protected].

High School senior to perform concert

On May 23 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Grange, there will be Mikaela Hansen’s senior project benefit con-cert called “Honoring Our Mentors” for helping improve the learnings of students here on Orcas. It will be showcasing the tal-

ents and stories of many local mentors, teachers and their students. There will be songs and stories from Susan Osborn, Carolyn Cruso, Ron Myers, Corey Wiscomb, Eliott Claus, Almost Classical, Maurice Austin, Madi Jane West, Cassidy and her dance crew and the Orcas High School Band and Orchestra.

Dogs, cats and drought tolerant landscaping

If you are thinking of installing a drought-toler-ant, deer-resistant landscape this year, you may want to make a stop at the Orcas Animal Shelter for some ideas. Recently, the shelter created the Faithful Friends Garden through the gener-osity of Anna Tejada. This garden, beautifully designed by BB Hamilton, features a commemorative brick walkway. You can purchase a brick for the walkway and have it inscribed with the name of a pet or person of your choice.

Jeff Bossler selected the appropriate plants for the Friends Garden and added some finishing touches with strategically placed rocks. The Garden Club and Orcas

Master Gardeners donated funds for plant identifica-tion tags along with some of the plants. The tags have both the common and botanical names. All plants were chosen for their drought tolerance and deer resistance.

While you meander along the red brick path, sit for a moment on Michael Yeaman’s sculpted bench made from a 70-million-year-old conglomerate boulder and enjoy the sound of gently flowing water from the garden’s fountain. It is truly a peaceful place.

After some landscape browsing, feel free to go inside and say hello to the cats and dogs. You might find your new gardening partner, someone who can help you get through those long non-gardening, winter days.

PET OF THE WEEK


Hi all, I’m in the market for a foster home, too, as are Ginger, Benny and Scarlett. Remember, the Shelter pays for food and litter. I love human company, but am a “special needs” kitty, and get less atten-tion here at the Orcas Animal Shelter. Call and ask about me, Mac at 376-6777. Or come visit any day from 2 to 5 p.m.. All the other cats are on www.orcaspets.org.
