The Islands’ Sounder profiles Kevin Ranker and hears about his latest bills

by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONGEditor/Publisher

Kevin Ranker is a surfer, family man, gourmet cook, environmentalist and avid runner – and he also happens to be a state senator.

His jovial, laid-back attitude has been a breath of fresh air among his fellow politicians. He is the same person at his home on Orcas Island as he is discussing carbon tax bills in Olympia.

“I like to laugh but I’m also very deliberate,” he said. “Everything I do, I think through. Even when I make foolish decisions, I’ve thought it through.”

Ranker, who is a Democrat, says there are three issues that define him as a politician: equality (for the LGBT community, for educa-tion), choice (health care access, family plan-ning, safe abortion options) and the environ-ment.

“Marriage equality was my proudest moment ever,” he said. “I think it has impacted more people positively than anything else.”

Ranker expects to continue defending Referendum 74, the marriage equality act, which was approved by voters last year.

In February 2012, Governor Christine Gregoire signed the marriage bill. It was set to take effect that June, but opponents submit-

ted enough signatures to suspend the bill and require a state-wide vote.

In November, it was approved by voters – overwhelmingly so in San Juan County.

“I was naive to think we were done when we passed the equality act two years ago,” Ranker said. “I anticipate having to defend equality and a woman’s right to choose. It’s going to be a constant battle.”

Ranker’s father is gay, and while he was raised by his mother, his two dads have been a big part of his life.

“My mom and my dad are still best friends,” he said.

Ranker’s dad was married to his long-time partner in New York at the age of 71.

When the legislature is in session, Ranker lives in Olympia. After a long day, he goes to the 24-hour market and picks out ingredients for a three-course meal.

“I usually don’t sit down to eat until midnight, but it’s how I relax,” Ranker said.

He runs at least four days a week, works 16 hours days and gets very little sleep. And that is exactly how he likes it.

“Sleep is over-rated,” he laughs.Ranker sponsors no more than 10 bills per

session. In 2014, the legislative session is set to run from January to April, but Ranker says it often goes several months past the expected date.

His wife Tina and daughter Elsa, who is in kindergarten, live full-time on Orcas Island.

“When the senate is in session, it is very diffi-cult to maintain commonality with your family,” Ranker said. “When I get back to Orcas, it’s my sanctuary.”

Because the senate only pays $40,000 a year, he also consults institutions and CEOs on cli-mate, energy and ocean policy and strategic development.

Upcoming 2014 billsRanker is excited about advancing “bold”

climate strategies in the 2014 Legislative Session based on his year’s research as a member of the Governor’s Climate Legislative Executive Workgroup. He assures that there will be climate legislation.

“I believe that dealing with climate is one of the most critical issues we are facing,” he said. “We are currently researching models

Orcas Schools Superintendent Barbara Kline has announced she will be retiring at the end of this school year.

“It has been an amazing expe-rience to work with great staff members, students, parents and an overwhelmingly supportive community,” she said.

Kline has been an educator for more than 40 years. For the past 24 years, she has been at the Orcas School District.

“This is a good time to retire because it is good timing for me and because the district is in a good place,” she said. “We have two very excellent principals, an experienced school board, and a bond project entering the building phase before the end of this year.”

Board member Janet Brownell said there were many times when she would drive past the school after working hours and see Kline’s light on in her office. She calls her a “relentless champion” of students and public education.

“I have been with the board long enough to have worked with four superintendents,” Brownell said. “Barbara Kline was principal of the high school when Glenn Harris left and the district was in a financial crisis. She offered to become a part-time superinten-dent so that the district could save money ... She helped us become fiscally stronger, helped us pass bonds and levies and brought two new extraordinary principals to the district.”

Kathy Page is principal of kin-dergarten to sixth grade and Kyle Freeman is principal of seventh to 12th grade.

The board will discuss the search for a new superintendent at a special meeting on Thursday, Nov. 7 at 4 p.m. in the school library.

Kline says there is a lot to do before her last day on June 30. The school is implementing a new

evaluation system for both teach-ers and principals, working on the bond and facilities and complet-ing educational work on the com-mon core.

“Planning the transition to a new superintendent will take time,” Kline said. “I know that the Orcas School Board members will want to carefully consider the qualities and experiences the dis-trict needs in their next superin-tendent. They will also need time to plan the selection process and determine how they will involve staff, parents and community members.”

by MADIE MURRAYFarm to Cafeteria

A group of eight people from Whidbey Island piled into their cars at the crack of dawn to catch the 7:35 a.m. ferry from Anacortes to Orcas Island on Oct. 28 to meet with Kyle Freeman, Madie Murray, Mandy Randolph, Kathy Page and Barbara Kline to learn about our Farm to Cafeteria Program.

The Whidbey group was lead by Cary Peterson

who coordinates the Good Cheer Food Bank Garden and is helping the South Whidbey School District launch a School Garden to Cafeteria program.

They arrived at the school at 9 a.m., took a tour of the expanded school garden, then convened in the Home Ec room (which will be the new cafeteria kitchen area when rebuilt) to talk with our group about all of the facets of the Orcas Island F2C Program, including

the implementation of all scratch-cooked meals, the integration of our Farm to Classroom classes for grades K-8 and the positive effect all of that has had on our students and the com-munity.

We all then adjourned to enjoy a delicious lunch consisting of salmon burg-ers with home-made dill sauce, coleslaw, fresh salad, fresh baked potato fries and Orcas apple sauce in the school cafeteria.

“Everything we learned was really inspiring for all of us, especially how important the garden and food curriculum is,” Cary said in her thank you email. “We were also impressed by the kitchen staff and lunch. You are a model that we will be using to help us launch our program."

The Orcas Island Farm to Cafeteria Program has been visited several times by people interested in either developing or expanding their farm to school pro-grams – the most recent being a group from Marin Country Day School in Corte Madera, Calif. in August of this year.

Our program would not exist without the support and funding from our com-munity!

On Oct. 28, the Orcas Island High School Environmental Club planted Sitka Spruce trees at the Mt. Baker Mitigation site.

It was a beautiful fall day, crisp and sunny, and perfect timing for transplanting trees. The 2 -to 3-foot Sitka Spruce were nurtured in the Orcas Island School Garden this past year, but a spruce can grow up to 70 feet tall, so they needed to move.

Wetlands consultant Mindy Kayl and Farm to Classroom teacher Mandy Randolph thought the Mt. Baker Mitigation

site would be a perfect home for the 20 young trees.

With support from San Juan County Public Works and the high school adminis-tration, four Orcas teens helped transplant the young spruce. They have mapped the approximate locations of the planted trees and hope that future club members will be able to visit the site and measure the growth of the trees.

The trees were initially donated by John Evans after Arbor Day in 2012.

Access to organic and health food. Learning more about local agriculture. A place to gather as a com-munity. These are all rea-sons why a group of island-ers have been working for months to form the Orcas Food Co-op located in the former Homegrown mar-ket.

“We basically want it to be a smaller version of the Skagit Valley Co-op,” said Lisa Byers, the co-op board president and the executive director of OPAL. “We want it to be full service, have bulk purchasing and be cus-tomer oriented.”

The member-owned co-op will provide local and organic, non-gmo food as well as other goods and ser-vices.

“The Orcas food co-op will improve islanders lives by establishing a strong local agricultural distribu-tion network and securing a non-gmo and organic food source for our com-munity while providing jobs and educational resources,” said Kyle Ater, owner of the

Homegrown Market.The co-op has already

reached 250 founding mem-bers in the first three weeks of the membership drive.

Now that the co-op has a base of members, their next goals are to raise pledge donations and sign the building lease. The board wants to raise at least $200,000 in pledges from individuals for a loan before they sign the lease, which is projected to occur on Nov. 15. After those two piec-es are completed they will begin renovations. They hope to be opening in the spring.

“Our shared vision is that the co-op will be part of the food culture on the island – not just a facility,” said Ken

Katz, vice president of the board.

“It’s a community gath-ering place where people want to support local agri-culture,” added Byers.

The co-op board plans to renovate the space and make changes to the layout before opening its doors. The space will be reconfig-ured, and there will be new equipment and a new deli location.

Another aspect of the co-op will be education, providing a meeting space and a link to the community to local foods and the peo-ple that create those goods.

Co-op general manager Learner Limbach said that working directly with farm-ers will be an important aspect of the co-op.

“We want to be partner-ing with farmers and other organizations county wide,” he added.

There are several ways to get involved. To become a member or volunteer, email [email protected]. Memberships are available for purchase online at www.orcasfoodcoop.com.

Indian Island volunteers will make their annual report on the health of Indian Island and celebrate five years of community monitoring and steward-ship on Thursday, Nov. 21 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Orcas Center.

Enjoy a slideshow by Kwiáht director Russel Barsh, displays by local students, a musical medley by Sharon Abreu and Mike Hurwicz, a light savory buf-fet by the Orcas Store, des-serts made by community scientists and opportunities to contribute to the con-servation of Indian Island as a donor or a volunteer. Admission is free.

This year volunteers invite you to adopt one of Indian Island’s rare and charming fish, birds, or marine invertebrates as

your own special New Year’s project. For a modest dona-tion, you will receive a but-ton featuring your choice of Indian Island “foster child,” and personal updates on its status and current research. For a little more, there will be a number of exclusive naturalist talks and picnics and recognition in future Indian Island publications and events.

Islanders can also support days of interpretive services on Indian Island for just $75 per day via the Orcas Island Community Foundation’s new Orcas Opportunities Catalog 2013, available online at http://www.oicf.us/catalog.

“Never has the need for community participation been greater,” says Indian Island program coordinator Kelly Rose.

Summer visitors have been increasing since the Indian Island program began in 2009. In addition to monitoring marine life, wildflowers, and birds, vol-unteers personally greeted over 4,100 visitors to the island in 2013. Volunteers also built a “driftwood trail,” distributed field guides, supervised school groups, rescued stranded wildlife, and helped prevent visi-tors from being stranded by flood tides.

The driftwood trail has been an unqualified success,

Gratitude for DVSAS harvest dinner

DVSAS would like to offer our deepest gratitude to all who volun-teered, donated the amazing food, and to each of you who attended the DVSAS Harvest Dinner on Oct. 24. You made this event special! You raised a record $2,400 – triple of what was made last year!

Your efforts and donations make it possible for others to have a

chance to heal from abuse, to be free to thrive after experiencing abuse, and for our community to learn how to help prevent abuse. Without you, where would we be? We send you each a very deep, heartfelt thank you.

Thanks for Halloween dance and wood raffle

The Oddfellows would like to thank all those who attended our annual Halloween Dance. Once again it was a total success both in attendance and costumes.

At the dance, we drew the lucky name of the person who won the cord of wood. That person was Vicki Johnson, who, not need-ing the wood, has donated it to a

needy family on the Island. The Oddfellows will make the necessary arrangements.

Thank you to all who purchased raffle tickets. The money raised will provide scholarships to our high school students and money for the Oddfellows Community Giving Fund.

Once again, thank you.Bill GincigOddfellows

Editorial

It’s been an American tradition since 1954, and its message transcends time: honor those who have served in the armed forces and those who have died in battle.

Regardless of which political side of a con� ict one stands, the well being of our veterans should be everyone’s concern. Even if we feel the purpose of a war may have been wrong, the bottom line is: our armed services did the dirty work.

Veterans Day is on Monday, Nov. 11 and there are two events for islanders to pay tribute to those who have served.

Orcas Island Elementary is holding an appreciation ceremony and breakfast on Nov. 8 at 8:30 a.m. Veterans are asked to arrive in the cafeteria that morning for an assembly followed by a breakfast in their honor. If possible, organizers request that veterans come in uniform or wear something that signi� es their branch of service in the military for students to see. A group photo will be taken after the assembly. RSVP to 376-2286 or [email protected]

The American Legion will hold its annual Veterans Day Service on Nov. 11 at 11 a.m. at the post home at 793 Crescent Beach Dr. The

Sons of the American Legion will serve refreshments immediately following the event.

There are a total of 607,501 vet-erans living in Washington state, according to the United States Department of Veteran A� airs.

According to a report by ABC news, 2,333,972 American military personnel had been deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan or both, as of

2011. Of that total, 1,353, 627 have since left the military. Accord-ing to the Defense Manpower Data Center, nearly half of those who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan have been deployed more than once.

Locally, there is help for the 2,500 veterans who live in the islands.

The San Juan County Veterans’ Advisory Board is an outreach program that provides emergency services to veterans in need, their children, widows, widowers and/or orphans. A small portion of county tax funds are set aside for this purpose, and the board has helped several San Juan County veterans with rent, medical, dental, food, and transportation costs and counseling services.

Applications for assistance are available through the county website (http://sanjuanco.com/committees/veterans), from senior centers, sheri� s’ stations, libraries, and county legislative o� ces, or at 370-7632.

If you know of a veteran who is struggling, tell him/her about the advisory board. If you are related to a veteran who is in need of counseling, there is help. And if you are a veteran yourself, don’t hesitate to pick up the phone and get a little back from the coun-try for whom you gave so much.

by KEVIN O’BRIENOrcas Fire Chief

The cost of maintaining the effective emergency response system we have on Orcas Island is a significant challenge.

To deal with this chal-lenge, Orcas Island Fire and Rescue is meeting to discuss detailed budget analysis and appropriate expenditure of tax payer dollars.

The exceptionally high level of services that island-ers have come to expect costs money, and OIFR is committed to providing those services in the most fiscally responsible manner possible.

Orcas Island Fire and Rescue exists to serve you. Everything we do is devot-ed to preserving the lives, property, and environment of this great island.

Over the course of time, our scope of operations has expanded to include all hazards response: EMS, fire, rescue, car accidents, chemical spills, child births, strokes, broken bones, electrical problems, over-doses, missing persons, and weather related emergen-cies.

Additionally, we reach out to youth through pro-grams including fire pre-vention, school visits, Firewise, CPR/First Aid classes, free smoke detec-tors, and car seat loaners. Simply said, when you ask for our help, we are there.

Our EMS program is

robust with excellent car-diac arrest survival rates, and our ability to reduce fire loss is proficient.

We continue to grow our services to meet increas-ing community needs. Our newest program, Orcas Cares, is a partnership with several other island orga-nizations, aimed at helping seniors and disabled people in need of assistance but not requiring immediate EMS attention.

Our new Strategic Plan reflects our endeavor to provide the best servic-es possible in an “island appropriate” manner. The Strategic Plan was devel-oped by a team of 16 com-munity members from varying backgrounds and interests.

We conducted 17 out-reach groups and asked the community what they wanted from OIFR. We found out that islanders appreciate and want us to continue the top notch emergency services we pro-vide today. They also want us to be fiscally responsible, transparent, and to keep the community well-informed of all our operations.

The 2014 Preliminary Budget accurately reflects the goals of our Strategic Plan and mirrors what we do today.

The budget funds the 67 emergency response volun-teers who take time away from families and jobs to help their neighbors.

OIFR employs eleven staff members including our excellent paramedics who respond to alarms, support the volunteers, and care for the commu-nity’s seven fire stations and equipment while providing the careful stewardship of your tax dollars.

Without the great gift of service our volunteers provide, our budget would likely double in order to

fund paid responders.The expenditure budget

of $1,712,441 is a realistic reflection of our operations today and includes some operational changes that were made in 2013 after the approval of the 2013 bud-get. $107,012 of the budget includes an assistant chief paramedic, an increase in time for a finance officer, and an increase in time for a volunteer coordinator/public information officer.

There are four primary factors that influence our budget:

1. An increase in requests for our services (OIFR call volume has increased 27.2 percent since 2011)

2. A need to staff appro-priately to serve our com-munity

3. The increasing require-ments of current laws, stan-dards, and business prac-tices

4. The stewardship of seven fire stations and 22 pieces of rolling stock

Similar to the budgets of families and businesses on the island, the costs of pro-viding emergency services has risen.

Since 2000, the Seattle, Tacoma, Bremerton Consumer Price Index has risen 37 percent (this does not include the cost of doing business on Orcas).

Added to that increase is the time required to train recruit responders, now a remarkable 174 hours, a 129 percent increase from 1998. And the cost to outfit that recruit has increased a staggering 257 percent, from $1121 in 1998 to $4000 today, but critical in order to keep our volun-teers safe.

Orcas Island Fire and Rescue will continue to provide the high quality assistance our community requires, thanks to our ded-icated volunteers, staff, and your support.

by JOHN NANCESan Juan EMS Chief Jim

Cole's statement flies in the face of the reality in the Sounder’s story “Airlift Northwest cuts ties with Island Air Ambulance” that ran last week.

Neither he nor Larry Wall nor anyone else associated with Island EMS is making decisions “... on the basis of what’s best for the patient...” when a patient is pushed into an inferior form of emergency transport involving two ambulances and a fixed wing aircraft versus transport directly to the helipad of a hospital.

Here’s a real fact: There is an obvious and provable bias in the decisions that have been and are being made on a daily basis by Chief Cole and others in San Juan EMS to shunt San Juan County residents off to Island Air’s structurally inferior air transportation services. At times, Airlift Northwest has been told to turn back because EMS officials have decreed that a transportee will use Island Air instead, and at other times people have been told that Airlift was not available when the record indicates they indeed were.

No one is impugning the safety dedication of Island Air Ambulance or the ser-vices of Island Air Inc. that they utilize, but those ser-vices are seriously inferior to Airlift in every signifi-cant way, in particular: One available non-pressurized, non-de-iced, Cessna 207, which means a single-engine, fixed wing aircraft flying over very cold waters, airport to airport rather than Airlift's top-of-the-line transportation directly

to the hospital attended by two highly trained nurses (versus one). There is no comparison.

Island Air Ambulance is a useful emergency backup, but never should be the pri-mary means of emergency medical evacuation when Airlift's superior capabili-ties are available. But the questions here revolve around the massive shunt-ing of emergency airlifts to Island Air over the past year and the self-congratulato-ry empire building that is going on at county expense to build up this fixed wing service and fraudulently bill it as an equivalent.

Why, for instance, has there been a heavy weight bias toward Island Air and a partial sandbagging of Airlift? Is the motivation monetary? Have island resi-dents been fully informed that Island Air Ambulance bills insurance companies the same amount (around $12,000, and in some cases more) than the charges Airlift bills?

Where, exactly, is that money going? Why have scarce San Juan County funds been squandered to create an inferior parallel service now being touted by one official, Larry Wall, as equal when under no cir-

cumstances is that correct? (Wall's two recent advertise-ments passing as OpEds in the Journal clearly show a propensity for massive mis-representation of the quality and nature of the services provided, but do nothing to explain why public funds are being poured into this parallel service).

Some very serious ques-tions of propriety and legiti-macy are now being raised and must be answered pub-licly and fully.

If this were a battle between two profit-making companies, no such ques-tions would be appropriate. But this involves a vital pub-lic utility class service, and continuation of this bias at the cost of millions in coun-ty funds raises the possibil-ity that Airlift's services, if too little used, may have to be truncated with respect to the Bellingham helicopter base, which would immedi-ately add life-losing time to an emergency transport.

I, for one, absolutely refuse to use anyone but Airlift for myself or my family, and am highly sus-picious of what has been “built” here and why.

from around the globe and developing specific actions that fit best for Washington State. It is important to stress that now is the time for action, not more dis-cussion of whether it’s real or it’s human-caused – we must put that aside. We are the first generation to truly see the impacts of climate change, but unfortunately, we are likely the last that will have the opportunity to do anything about it.”

He is also hopeful about a bill called “Pay It Forward” for students who can’t

afford to attend college. The program would pay college education to those who qualify. Once these students have graduated and have careers, 3 percent of their income would go back to the program.

“We have to make sure higher education is available to everyone,” Ranker said. “There are certain areas in Washington state where the number of jobs and the number of educated people who can fill those jobs don’t match up. Microsoft and Amazon bring in employees from other countries.”

There are significant start-up costs to launch the program and it will take an

estimated nine years for it to become sustainable.

Ranker is hoping to part-ner with companies like Amazon.com or Microsoft, which would front some of the initial cost for students interested in computer engineering, for example.

Looking aheadOn a local level, Ranker

is troubled by some of the hostility shown in county elections, particularly with the charter amendment and council elections last year.

“It’s become less respect-ful and more personal,” he said. “I sure hope we don’t see it more at the county level ... party lines shouldn’t matter, it’s about respecting each other as community members.”

The senator is planning to run for his third term in office in 2016.

“I feel like I am making a difference and it feels really good,” Ranker said. “I have core values that represent my community – and if that means I don’t get re-elected, so what? That is not why I am here.”

RANKER FROM 1

Unlicensed, illegally moored and poorly main-tained smaller-sized docks and floats will be hauled out of Friday Harbor and out of Orcas Island's Deer Harbor beginning in mid-November.

Nearly a dozen of these floating structures, in addi-tion to being unauthorized, will be removed in an effort to improve navigation and ensure environmental pro-tection before they become damaged or unhinged by winter storms, accord-ing to Brenda Treadwell of the state Department of Natural Resources.

“These floating docks are in various states of disre-pair, and some are likely to break apart in a signifi-cant storm,” said Treadwell, DNR aquatic resources

manager for San Juan County. “In addition, many of these structures contain old tires, exposed foam and other hazards that can harm the aquatic environ-ment. In other cases, the floats are used as storage for anything from gas cans to a bath tub.”

She says removing these broken bits of docks and dilapidated floats will also make navigation easier for boaters and provide more area for short-term vessel moorage.

A total of 11 floating structures of assorted sizes have been tagged for remov-al; five in Friday Harbor's Shipwreck Cove and three in Deer Harbor. Treadwell said the DNR consulted with San Juan County Sheriff 's Department and

manager of the county der-elict vessel removal pro-gram in identifying docks and floats to be removed.

The department began the process of taking own-ership of the unauthorized floats and docks Sept. 26, posting notices of pending seizure of the property. It followed up with a second notice Oct. 16, and will take custody of each Nov. 15, unless someone comes for-ward before then to claim ownership and remove the floating object and anchors.

In cases in which an owner has been identi-fied, Treadwell said DNR will seek reimbursement for costs of removal and disposal of the object, its anchoring system and relat-ed debris.

CLARIFICATIONThe family of Lillian

Janet Sharninghouse, whose obituary ran in the Sounder last week, would like the public to know that she went by Janet, not Lillian.



With its vast, shiny wood floors, cozy fireplace and intimate stage setting, Random Howse is primed to be an entertainment hot spot.

“Our vision is that it will be a gathering place to enjoy the talent of those around us,” said April Duke, who purchased the building with her husband Clyde.

The space, which was built in 2004, has tradition-ally been used for restau-rants – most recently it was home to Agave.

Now it is renamed and underwent a major clean-ing and received new paint and a brick wall behind the stage.

“My first attraction to this was that the building is under-utilized,” Clyde said.

Random Howse will be a place for private occasions like baby showers and wed-dings and public happen-ings like live music, dancing and fundraisers. A full bar and snacks will be provided during events.

“With all the bars and restaurants around, we want to offer something unique – and not compete with them,” April said.

Their first function was a night of tango this summer. April says it was “whole-some fun” with people rang-ing in age from 12 to 70.

Starting Nov. 19, Kevin Gregus and his wife Jowl will be making Thai food on Tuesdays from 5 to 9 p.m. Diners can sit down or order take-away.

“There will be traditional items like Pad Thai, cur-ries, and veggie and meat stir fries – it’s going to be

simple,” said Gregus, who is also the breakfast chef at New Leaf Cafe. “I want to see if the community gets excited about eating Thai food.”

The Dukes are hoping to book a calendar of events for the entire year.

“The challenge for us is that it’s a work in progress,” Clyde said.

He runs a roofing busi-ness and April works in the banquet department of Rosario and Outlook Inn. They are also renovating the athletics building in Eastsound. So finding time to pull off their new venture has been daunting.

“I am a little scared,” April said. “But sometimes the things that frighten you can bring you the most joy and success. We’ve made a commitment to the com-munity and everyone has high hopes.”

Barsh says. Wildflowers on most of the island are already recovering. At the end of the 2013 season, the Indian Island program and Orcas Island Youth Conservation Corps care-fully removed a truckload of English ivy, Himalayan blackberry and other inva-sive plants by hand.

Seasonal restrictions to protect nesting seabirds were successful in 2012, but when restrictions were eased in June 2013 so that visitors could watch nests from a high point on the island, black oystercatchers lost all their eggs to preda-tors and did not lay another set.

“We’re still looking for the right balance of public enjoyment and seabird sur-vival,” Rose says.

Another concern is a four-year decline in Bay pipefish, which Barsh says may be due to an outbreak of a parasitic copepod that attaches itself to gills.

“At this stage, it’s more likely that pipefish are dying from parasites than from contaminants, but toxics can depress the immune system of fish and leave them less able to survive parasitism,” he said.

Other indicators of eco-system health, such as eel-grass density, have remained steady, however.

The task of monitoring contaminants for the Indian Island program has been given to Orcas students.

Kwiáht is working with Laura Tidwell’s Orcas Middle School students on a novel approach to moni-toring lubricating oils and other automotive contami-nants in Eastsound street runoff. Bundles of poly-propylene fabric are hung in storm drains for several weeks, where they absorb any floating oils. When they are removed, the oils are rinsed off and measured in a spectrophotometer.

Plans are also underway to expand volunteers’ moni-toring of algal blooms in East Sound and to use other plankton species as indica-tors of toxic stress, hypoxia, and changes in temperature and acidity. Kwiáht is seek-ing funds to equip local schools to participate in an expanded plankton survey.

In March 2013, President Obama signed an Executive Order creating the San

Juan Islands National Monument, which includes Indian Island. Kwiáht and Orcas volunteers are work-ing on a formal agreement to continue the local stew-ardship of Indian Island and perhaps other small, unin-habited islands that are now part of the monument such as Skull Island and Twin Rocks.

One expression of local control will be an interpre-tive sign overlooking Indian Island on Main Street across from the Outlook Inn. The sign is a collaboration of the National Monument, the San Juan County Land Bank and Kwiáht funded by the county’s Lodging Tax, illustrated by Orcas fifth-grade students. A mock-up will be displayed at the event on Nov. 21 with blank spaces for suggesting the messaging.

Learn more about Eastsound’s “window on the sea” by joining Kwiáht and the Indian Island Health Observatory on Nov. 21.

CELEBRATE FROM 3


by STEVE WEHRLY Journal reporter

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol will move into office space in the heart of down-town Friday Harbor some-time next year.

Gordy Petersen, owner of Friday Harbor Center located at the intersection of First and Spring streets, and CBP public informa-tion officer Chief Thomas Schreiber each confirmed that a lease has been signed and that CBP would relo-cate from its office at the Port of Friday Harbor “in 2014.”

Petersen anticipates that CBP will be operating in the street-level office space by “mid-summer.”

“This is good for the town and good for the nation,” Petersen said. “These peo-ple are our neighbors. They are protecting our com-munity and people should respect that.”

Once occupied by Windermere Realty and currently the home of Howard’s Sell it Again, the 4,500 square foot retail will be used to house Customs

and Border Patrol agents now working out of leased space at the port.

Although Schreiber would not disclose spe-cific information about the functions or number of employees of the Friday Harbor office, he did send an email describing “field operations” of the CBP, an agency of the Department of Homeland Security:

“CBP officers perform the full range of inspec-tion, passenger and cargo analysis, examination and law enforcement activities relating to revenue and trade, seizure of contra-band, interdiction of agri-cultural pests and diseases and admissibility of persons at 331 ports of entry located at airports, sea ports and land borders.”

Which of these func-tions, if any, will be per-formed at the new First and Spring streets office was not disclosed.

Friday Harbor is one of 67 U.S. ports of entry man-aged by the Seattle Field Office of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. CBP officers have operated out of rented space at the Port

of Friday Harbor since 1978. That space, about 660 square feet, is rented to CBP for $1,473 per month under a lease that expires in May 2014, according to Port of Friday Harbor Director Marilyn O’Conner.

O’Conner said the port has had no communication from CBP about terminat-ing or renewing the current lease, which, she added, the port is willing to do.

Friday Harbor Center was built by Petersen in 2004, after one of the most destructive fires in town history leveled most of the east side of First St., between Spring and East Streets. Peterson said the total rebuilding of the block, which comprises 24,000 square feet of com-mercial space, costs roughly $3.8 million.

Windermere Realty occupied the space until 2010 at a lease rate “in the range of $8,000 to $10,000 per month,” according to Windermere’s Gary Franklin, who believes that commercial lease rates were “probably” still in that range for the property. Petersen declined to identify the

amount that CBP would pay, although he termed the figure mentioned above as “incorrect.”

Howard Crowell and Rebecca Hughes opened Howard’s Sell It Again in the space in early 2011, at a reduced rent with the understanding that they might be displaced if a full-paying tenant agreed to lease the space. Crowell said they were pleased with the location and the sup-port of both visitors and locals, but he “understood completely” that their ten-ancy would be terminated if Petersen found a long-term, full-paying tenant.

O’Conner said it’s unclear whether CBP intends to retain office space at the port. She said the port has been discussing its require-ments for space at the air-port with CBP.

In addition to inspec-tions and security duties in Friday Harbor, Customs and Border Patrol agents are assigned to Roche Harbor to check and clear boats arriving from Canada, and operates a small kiosk at the Friday Harbor marina for boat and seaplane arrivals.

Fifteen years ago, Kara O’Toole heard Corey Harris on the radio, and she has yet to forget that day.

“There are those moments when you hear something and hear the artist speak and something about it rings your bell,” said O’Toole, who is the director of Orcas Center.

For O’Toole, that some-thing was a blues sound complimented by elements of reggae and traditional West African beats. Her father was a hardcore blues fan, so O’Toole grew up lis-tening to the roots of rock and roll.

“To hear the reverence for those founding blues men from someone my age and creating an eclectic blend … he is the real deal,” she said.

You can hear the guitar-

ist, vocalist, songwriter and band leader at Orcas Center on Friday, Nov. 8 at 7:30 p.m. Before the concert, starting at 6 p.m., there will be Burgers and Brew from the Lower Tavern in the Madrona Room.

Harris, pictured above, has performed throughout North America, Europe, Brazil, The Caribbean, West Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. He has performed, recorded, and toured with musicians such as BB King, Dave Matthews Band, Tracy Chapman and Natalie Merchant.

In his early 20s, Harris lived in Cameroon, West Africa for a year, which according to his website, had a profound effect on his later work.

He has recorded many old songs of the blues tradi-tion while also creating an

original vision of the blues by adding influences from reggae, soul, rock and West African music.

“I would describe him as a deep musician,” O’Toole said.

In 2003 Harris was a fea-tured artist and narrator of the Martin Scorcese film “Feel Like Going Home,” which traced the evolution of blues from West Africa to the southern U.S.

Just a few years later, Harris made news again when he was awarded a $500,000 MacArthur Fellowship – commonly referred to as a “genius award.”

“It’s a dream come true,” said O’Toole about Harris coming to Orcas.

Tickets are $25, $19 Orcas Center members and $11 students at 376-ACT1 or www.orcascenter.org.

Friday Harbor engineer plots course for the moon

NASA’s Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer was able to get from the launching pad on Sept. 6 and then to its lunar commissioning orbit five weeks later, Oct. 13, thanks in large part to Friday Harbor’s Mike Loucks.

Owner of Friday Harbor-based Space Exploration Engineering Corporation, Loucks designed and helped implement the tra-jectory used to send the Environment Explorer into orbit. He designed the trans-lunar and lunar orbit capture portion of LADEE’s trajectory.

He was on-site at the NASA/Ames control cen-ter from launch on Sept 6, through the final lunar orbit insertion maneuver on Oct. 13, and served as trajectory lead and flight dynamics team member during that time.

Loucks also designed the trajectories for the Interstellar Boundary Explorer Mission, launched in 2008, and the Orbview-II spacecraft, which launched in 1997. The Space Exploration Engineering

Corporation was founded in 1995 in Boulder, Colo. Loucks moved the compa-ny and his family to Friday Harbor in 2001.

The progress of the LADEE spacecraft along its trajectory was chroni-cled by Loucks and fellow “astro-gator” John Carrico during the trans-lunar por-tion of the mission on the “Astrogator’s Guild” blog (www.astrogatorsguild.com). The two were fea-tured in an Oct. 8 article in the Christian Science Monitor, “Moon mission LADEE arrives after an ‘amazingly precise’ looping

flight,” written by Liz Fuller-Wright.

LADEE (pronounced like “laddie”) is a robotic mission designed to orbit the moon and to gather detailed information about lunar atmosphere, condi-tions near the surface and environmental influences on lunar dust. It also carries an innovative lunar laser communication demonstra-tion instrument, which is designed to transmit data at a rate of 622 megabits per second, about five times the current state-of-the-art from lunar distances.

LADEE is managed by NASA’s Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif.

After the commissioning phase of the mission, which lasts for one month, LADEE will be lowered to its sci-ence orbit with an average altitude below 50 kilometer (31 miles).

LADEE will spend three months at this lower alti-tude, and will then be directed to lunar impact after it runs out of fuel.

Tooth extraction clinic on Orcas

Dr. Triplett’s dental office at 445 Madrona Street in Eastsound is reserving Thursday, Nov. 14 for free extractions for Orcas and Shaw Island residents in need.

Writers’ Roundtable

The next Writers’ Roundtable, called the “The Hungry Writer” is on

Saturday, Nov. 9 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Orcas Library.

The session will focus on the theme of food – in anticipation of the holiday season.

“Love, satisfaction, trou-ble, death, pleasure, work, sex, memory, celebrations, hunger, desire, loss, laugh-ter, even salvations: to all these things food can pro-vide a prelude; or com-fort after; and sometimes

a handy substitute for. It often seems food is a met-aphor for most anything, from justice to joy. Perhaps too easy of a metaphor – sometimes food is just food. Still, there is nothing like food and drink to remind us of life’s pleasures, satis-fyiing far more than hun-ger,” wrote Kevin Young.

Join fellow writers for an afternoon of reading and writing about food, in prose and poetry.

All are welcome.

VolleyballThe Viking girls volley-

ball team (8-9) advanced past the post season 2B District Playoffs in Mt. Vernon after losing to Darrington but taking a win against Concrete last Friday,

In the first game, Orcas faced an uphill battle against Darrington (13-3) after three consecutive regular season losses to the Loggers. The Vikings still found themselves searching for a way to win against the second place team in the league after losing three straight games; 25-6, 25-16 and 25-14.

Facing playoff elimina-tion in the second game, the Vikings met the Concrete Lions (4-12) for the third time this season, a team Orcas had successfully han-dled in their last two regu-lar season matches.

Orcas played to form and won the first game 26-16,

the second game 25-20 and went on to sweep the Lions 3-0, earning a position in the next round of the play-offs.

On Nov. 6, the Vikings travel to Cross Point Academy in Bremerton for the next round of the 2B Bi District playoffs with their goal set on the State Tournament in Yakima in mid-November.

FootballThe Viking football team

(3-6) lost under the lights to the Lions (8-1) in the sec-ond to last regular season game in Concrete Friday night.

Orcas faced an efficient Lion tight formation double wing offense for the first time this season, forcing the Viking defenders to search for the ball and fight the misdirection. By the end of the first quarter, the Lions had slipped by the Viking defense for three rushing touchdowns.

Abandoning an ineffec-tive run, the Vikings hit the

air and scored on a 56-yard yard touchdown pass from quarterback Miles Harlow to receiver Gage Harlow, ending the first quarter down 20-7.

The Lions, utilizing three different rushers, rolled through the Vikings defense for four more touchdowns in the second quarter while the Viking’s offense strug-gled. The game appeared to be a blowout with the halftime score 41-7 and no spark apparent in the Vikings.

Although the Lions scored two more touch-downs in the third quar-ter, the Vikings passing game began to click with a touchdown pass to receiver Aiden Kruse and about 100 yards passing in the quarter.

Orcas receivers contin-ued to pull down passes in the fourth quarter with two more touchdown passes to Jordan Randolph and Pasha Bullock, but the late offen-sive push fell short in 61-26 loss.

Coach Scott Harris was

proud of his players, and recognizing the loss, felt it was a great learning experi-ence for the young team.

The Vikings host the Darrington Loggers for the last regular season game on Thursday.

Girls soccerThe Viking girls soc-

cer team played their final game of the season in La Conner and came away los-ing 8-0 to the Braves and finishing their season 2-8.

Chama Anderson is step-ping away from coaching after this season.

Anderson, reflecting on the season said, “Honestly, there is nothing like hav-ing a group of girls decide to do something together

knowing the venture they said ‘yes’ to will be filled with challenge, excitement, doubt, fear, potential and who knows what else. This is what my team did this season. They said, yes!”

Anderson says what came out of that was a deeper commitment to their teammates and them-selves; unexpected joy and friendship; unique leader-

ship from each player; a deeper understanding of the game and their role on the field; moving beyond their own physical limita-tions; how to take care of themselves and a pride of being a Lady Viking.

“As one of my players wrote in her end of season evaluation, ‘you don’t have

After a knock-out performance last summer, pianist Viktor Valkov and cellist Lachezar Kostov are returning to Orcas in December.

“They lit our festival on fire last August. Little would I have known that our commu-nity would have embraced these musicians,” said Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival Artistic Director Aloysia Friedmann. “Everyone loved their eagerness and their openness. We call them ‘BBB’ – the bad boys of Bulgaria.”

Valkov and Kostov will perform for OICMF’s annual Leaves of Gold fundraising concert at Rosario Resort on Thursday, Dec. 12 and Friday, Dec. 13 at 6 p.m. Rosario’s historic Music Room, adorned for the holidays, is the setting for the performances.

Following the music, guests will enjoy an hors d’oeuvres buffet and wine reception in the Orcas Room of the Rosario Mansion.

Valkov, winner of the 2012 New Orleans International Piano Competition, has been highly

acclaimed by critics as “lion of the keyboard” and “sensational.” He is pursuing a Doctor of Musical Arts at Rice University with Jon Kimura Parker.

Kostov, National Winner at the 2006 Music Teachers National Association Young Artists Competition, is hailed for the “awesome purity of his playing,” and as a “prodigiously skilled pro-tagonist.” He is a Doctor of Musical Arts candidate at Rice University where he studies with Norman Fischer and was recently named a cellist with the San Antonio Symphony.

The Kostov-Valkov Duo gave their Carnegie Hall debut in 2009 and won first prize at the Liszt-Garisson International Competition in 2011.

“It’s wonderful to have young and exciting tal-ent in our midst,” Friedmann said. “I’m person-ally thrilled that they’re able to return to Orcas so soon.”

OICMF is adding “a touch of red” to this holi-day event – for the festive timing and in honor of Lachezar’s love of red shoes. For those who attended the summer festival, they know Lachezar slipped into his red velvet shoes during the recep-

tions. Concert organizers encourage everyone to wear a touch of red and be part of the holiday spirit.

Tickets for the concert are $150. For reserva-tions, call 376-6636 or email [email protected]. All proceeds benefit the festival’s programming and music education. For those unable to attend, they can be a “guest in spirit” listed in the program, which is a 100 perent tax deductible donation. For more information, visit www.oicmf.org.

“Viktor and I had our debut at OICMF in August, performing alongside some of today’s greatest musicians,” Kostov said. “We knew it would be a challenge, we knew it would be excit-ing, but there was absolutely no way for us to know what an extraordinarily wholesome experi-ence it would be.”

He says they are counting the days until their next visit. During their December concerts, they will be performing alongside Friedmann.

“We feel that we are coming back home – where food tastes best, where everyone loves you for who you are, and where music lives,” Kostov said.

Sweeping drama, murder, lust and political intrigue – all part of Puccini's endur-ing favorite “La Tosca.”

Starring an exceptional trio of singing actors in the leading roles, it will be streamed live from the Metropolitan Opera in Manhattan to Orcas Center on Sunday, Nov. 10 at 1 p.m.

Acclaimed American soprano Patricia Racette stars in one of opera's great-est roles as the ultimate diva, Floria Tosca, in Luc Bondy's production. French tenor Roberto Alagna sings Tosca's lover, the painter

Cavaradossi, and Georgian baritone George Gagnidze is the corrupt, lustful Scarpia. Italian maestro Riccardo Frizza conducts.

Bondy updated the story of a diva, her lover and the lecherous chief of the secret police, from 1800 to a deca-dent Rome in the early 20th century.

When Giacomo Puccini was seized with the idea of making an opera from Victorien Sardou’s play “La Tosca,” he wrote to his pub-lisher that the subject suited him because it was “without excessive proportions or a

decorative spectacle.” Tosca by Luc Bondy is

more in line with the com-poser’s vision of a lean, no-frills theatrical event. Renée Fleming hosts the live pro-duction.

Tickets are $18 for adults, $13 students, $2 off for Orcas Center members, and may be purchased at www.orcascenter.org or by call-ing 376-2281 ext. 1 or visit-ing the Orcas Center Box Office open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from noon to 4 p.m.

‘Tosca’ to stream live from the Met

to be a winner to be a win-ner,’” Anderson said. “We won two of our 10 games this year. Although this is difficult knowing all the effort the players are put-ting into training, they kept their heads held high from beginning to end. When we did score this season, it felt like we just won the World Cup even though we might be down 7-1!”

The Vikings lost to Providence Classical Christian Highlanders 5-1 in their last regular season

game followed the next day by a first round playoff loss to the La Conner Braves, 4-1.

On Oct. 28, the Vikings traveled to Providence Classical Christian and played solid defense with sparks of offensive great-ness.

Jack Russillo and William Coe narrowly missed a cou-ple of shots on goal, but an early second half attack resulted in the lone Viking goal with a well placed shot by Wylie Kau after good combination sideline play between Russillo and Kau.

The Vikings continued to fight hard and ended their regular season overall 5-11.

On Oct. 29, the Vikings hosted their first playoff game in years, battling La Conner in the first round.

Orcas kept it close most of the first half but a couple of long through balls from the Braves scored, challeng-ing the Vikings with a 3-0 deficit going into halftime.

The Vikings came out roaring in the second half with a combination of spec-tacular passes and nearly converted several scoring opportunities.

Orcas scored fairly quickly when Russillo con-verted a penalty kick but were unable to catch the Braves despite courageous play and hustle.

The Vikings finished the season tied for fifth place in Northwest 1A/2B League and were eliminated from playoffs for the fourth con-secutive season.

Affordable housing advocate Greg Winter will be the fea-tured speaker at the 12th Annual Meeting of the San Juan Community Home Trust, Thursday, Nov. 14, at the Grange Hall in Friday Harbor.

The director of the Bellingham-based Opportunity Council's Whatcom Homeless Service Center, Winter will discuss local and regional housing affordability strategies, focusing on examples from Whatcom and Skagit counties, as part of the presentation.

In working with the Family Resources Centers on San Juan, Orcas and Lopez islands, Winter has gained on-the-ground awareness of issues surrounding affordable hous-ing in San Juan County. He previously managed the 2011 county Prosperity Project, an assessment of community affordable housing needs.

Winter recently helped lead the campaign in support of a “Home Fund levy” dedicated to affordable housing in Bellingham, which voters approved last year and for which, in part, he received a “Friend of Housing Award” at the Washington State Affordable Housing Conference in Spokane, in October.

In addition to the presentation by Winter, the Home Trust 12th annual meeting will include a complimentary pizza and salad dinner. A business meeting and election of board members will follow dinner and guest speaker. Admission is free; RSVP by telephone, 378-5541, or by email, [email protected] to reserve a spot.

Turkey shoot on Sunday, Nov. 10

Voyle B. Martin American Legion Post #93 will hold its annual Turkey Shoot (bingo for turkeys) on Sunday, Nov. 10 at 11

a.m. at the post’s home located at 793 Crescent Beach Drive in Eastsound.

Many years ago par-ticipants actually shot tur-keys, thus the name Turkey Shoot. Now you play bingo to win a turkey. This event

has always been a favorite because the public is invit-ed, including the children.

The net proceeds help fund the veteran and com-munity projects the post sponsors each year.

In conjunction with the Turkey Shoot, the American Legion Auxiliary members prepare a turkey dinner with all the “fixings.”

It is served starting at 11:30 a.m.

The cost for adults is $10, seniors/children get in for $7. Slices of homemade pie are $1 each.

The auxiliary donates to several veterans’ facili-ties each year, especially at

holiday time. Net proceeds from the dinner help fund those donations.

Veterans’ Day Service on Nov. 11

The American Legion will honor veterans with a Veterans’ Day Service on Monday, Nov. 11 at 11 a.m. at the post’s home.

The public is invited to share in this service. The Sons of the American Legion will serve refresh-ments immediately follow-ing the service.

The SeaDoc Society and YMCA Camp Orkila present “Exploring the Salish Seafloor: things you never knew” by Gary Greene of the SeaDoc Society on Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. at Emmanuel Parish Hall.

The topside world presents a wide variety of naturally occurring communities inhabited by plants and animals adapted to survive in each special place. The underwater world is no different. However, for people working to recover the Salish Sea, it’s been harder to protect threatened marine creatures and their critical underwater habitats sim-ply because it’s so difficult to find them. Beneath the surface of the Salish Sea lie a dazzling variety of habitats.

SeaDoc’s exciting new Tombolo Seafloor Mapping Laboratory is addressing real-time conservation needs by pinpointing Salish Sea habitats.

The Marine Science Lecture Series is free to the public. For more information visit http://www.seadocsociety.org.
