Cobwebs dangle from the rafters and the smell of pressed apples cling to the air. The barn is ramshackle, but it’s a standing piece of island history.

“Barns are like people: they have a certain smell, a certain presence,” said artist Ray McBride, whose long-ago dream of making his drawings into a calendar has come true.

In the mid-1980s, McBride sketched and then water-colored 12 old barns on Orcas. It was more than just an art project for

The council spent three hours discussing the future of Orcas Island’s transfer station and it result-ed in a little headway.

Two different entities will likely share the contract – each with its own area of service.

Because the county wants out of the solid waste business, it put out a Request for Proposals this sum-mer to operate the Orcas transfer station.

Cimarron and Orcas Recycling both put in pro-posals. Cimarron currently hauls trash off island under contract with Waste Management. ORS is the local nonprofit operator of The Exchange re-use facility at the Orcas station.

After some back and forth, the council decided that both Cimarron and Orcas Recycling should receive contracts to perform different services.

After public works met with both entities, it became clear that Orcas Recycling wanted to handle the tipping floor, as it generates the bulk of the rev-enue from both garbage and recycling.

ORS is also concerned that the public receive as many quality options and absorb as few costs as pos-sible in future Orcas transfer station operations.

“If garbage and recyclables are separated into two operations, the overall cost to the end user is significantly higher due to the need to pay for two managing bodies,” said ORS Director Mark DeTray in a letter to the editor. “Tip fees would need to be set

higher for recyclables, undermining any economic incentive to recycle.” To read the letter in its entirety, go to http://goo.gl/Z9D0H.

Public works recommended to the council that the tipping floor be assigned to Cimarron, which would continue to transport all garbage and bulk recycling – the recycling that San Juan Sanitation collects at homes.

Public works recommended that ORS should provide reuse, self-haul recycling, composting, con-struction material reclamation and resale, special waste handling (oil, batteries, antifreeze, appliances), “producer responsibility programs” such as e-waste and fluorescent light bulbs, and “community out-reach services on Orcas to further the county’s long-term goals for reuse and waste reduction.”

“I like the passion that Orcas Recycling brings to the table,” said Councilman Howie Rosenfeld during the hearing on Sept. 11. “Local control has lots of advantages and I think they will be much more likely to achieve our goals to reduce, reuse and recycle.”

Rosenfeld tried to convince his colleagues to con-tinue the hearing on Orcas Island at a council meet-ing already scheduled for October, but a majority of the council was ready to vote.

The discussion and vote were prompted by Utility Manager Ed Hale’s recommendation that the county approve negotiation of contracts “to ensure transition of the site by the end of 2012.”

Ninety-year-old Fred Whitridge, who is a legend among nonprofit boards, brought the audience to tears as he accepted recognition from the Orcas Island Community Foundation for his leadership in philanthropy. The foundation honored him at its annual report to the community luncheon.

Doug Bechtel, who helped introduced Whitridge, said he personified the saying: “I don’t want to be an officer, I want to be an enlisted man.”

Whitridge was instrumental in the development and support of

many island organizations, includ-ing the San Juan Preservation Trust, OPAL Community Land Trust, Orcas Center, the library and OICF.

In 2011, the foundation dis-tributed $116,507 in endowment funds to eight organizations; $153,825 in donor advised funds; and $288,756 to community impact initiatives. Twenty-seven different organizations received grants that totaled $100,248.

“We blow every other commu-nity foundation in Washington state out of the water. It’s incred-ible,” said OICF Director Hilary Canty.

What took us four days last year, we accomplished in just two days this year.

A total of 16 amaz-ingly engaged volunteers, chopped, diced, peeled, bagged and froze a total of 621 pounds of 17 different

items were purchased from seven Orcas farms: Black Dog, Taproot, Morningstar, Maple Rock, Blue Moon, Coffelt and Orcas Farm.

We were able to receive a lot of produce at once including carrots, jalapenos, blueberries, beets, dill, basil, tomatoes, and a whole lot

Thanks to Barbara Wheeler, who so generous-ly allowed us to glean her plum trees again this year, we also have hundreds of pounds of gorgeous yellow

plums which will be avail-able in the salad bar and used in desserts, sauces and toppings.

Rob Harlow trucked his tiller to the school garden and made the first pass to till and condition the soil in the expanded garden area before school started.

Though it looks like not much is happening, there actually are several projects currently underway: the tank for the rainwater catch-ment system is to be installed before Sept. 15 and a weath-er station is being planned and erected as a senior proj-ect by Zack Wolford. In the larger area where Harlow tilled the plans are to ter-race and level the area so the new watering system will be more efficient. The return of the grass will be abated by additional tilling and winter crop cover until next spring.

Rachel Sorensen married Galen Boydston in an out-door wedding on Waldron Island on Saturday, Aug. 25 at the home of the groom’s aunt, Thea Patten.

Rachel is the daughter of Don Sorensen and Sara

Smith of Tacoma, Wash. Galen is the son of Tom Boydston and Suki Patten Boydston of Friday Harbor.

The wedding was attend-ed by the couple’s families, much of the Waldron com-munity, and a few dozen of their other friends.

Rachel and Galen met at Evergreen State College, where they were captains of the women’s and men’s Rowing Crew teams, respec-tively.

The new Boydston couple will reside in Deer Harbor on Orcas. Galen works as a forestry technician

A healthy return of King Salmon to the Glenwood Springs Salmon Hatchery lower pond for the third year in a row made it pos-sible for a total of 80 salm-on to be delivered to the public school cafeteria and the food bank this past two weeks.

Rollie Sauer, together with Mike O’Connell, Manager of the Glenwood Springs Hatchery, took care of acquiring the proper approvals with the state Fish and Wildlife Department for the salmon to be deliv-ered. Volunteer Rick Doty, along with Don Myers and Jay Longfellow expertly fil-leted them on the spot prior

to delivery to the school and food bank.

“This is amazing to be able to prepare and serve fresh salmon in our school lunches,” says Zach Holley, cafeteria chef.

He will be using it in quiches, pastas, salads and even expects to smoke some.

Jeannie Doty of the Orcas Island Food Bank says, “You can’t believe how our clients’ faces light up when they are given fresh salmon to fix for dinner. It’s truly some-thing very special and rare for a food bank to be able to offer.”

With significant cuts in state funding to the hatchery this year, we are truly grate-ful for this very generous and thoughtful contribution to our community, and urge the support of fundraisers and financial well being in any way possible to main-tain this island treasure. One coming up will be a tour of the pond and hatch-ery followed by a picnic lunch in the Youngren barn on Oct. 20. Particulars may be seen at www.madiessite.com/hatchery-tour.html.

The Mobile Dental Clinic from Medical Teams International will be returning to Orcas Sept. 21 and 22.

The clinic will provide free care to quali-fying community members. Applications are available at www.oicf.us, or can be picked up at the Food Bank, Orcas Family Connections or the County Health office at the Senior Center.

Applications will be reviewed and pri-oritized based on severity of dental needs and pain. Completed applications can be dropped off in the “dental box” outside the library. If you have questions regarding the application, contact Barbara Ehrmantraut at 376-3395.

Due to the concern of whooping cough in our community, San Juan County Health will be offering low-cost – slide to free (based on income guidelines) Tdap vaccina-tions to any adult still needing to be updat-ed for coverage against pertussis (whooping cough) during the van visit this month. You do not need to have an appointment on the van in order to receive a vaccine. It is rec-

ommended that everyone get vaccinated to combat the statewide outbreaks of whoop-ing cough. If you are not sure whether you need a Tdap, drop by the Orcas Community Church during the dental van hours, and your records will be checked for you. For more info, call County Health nurse Tamara Joyner at 370-0588.

This is the third of four clinics scheduled for 2012 funded through the Orcas Island Community Foundation.

So far, over 65 community members have received care on the van. This visit is being sponsored by the LGBT Fund held at OICF. All three island dentists and staffs volunteer to provide care and the Orcas Lions, Orcas Angels and Odd Fellows will provide check in support.

The Orcas Community Church is hosting the van and housing for drivers has been contributed by the Gudgell family. Breakfast snacks and lunch for the volunteers are needed on both days; if you are interested in contributing, contact the Orcas Island Community Foundation, 376-6423.

The Port of Orcas has purchased a little more than 40 acres west of the airport.

The port first became aware of the availability of the property in 2003. There were no matching Federal Aviation Administration funds available at that time, so it was not pursued, said Audrey Wells, chairwoman of the port commission.

In 2005 and 2006, interest was again expressed by the port, but the 40 acres was purchased by Lantec, Inc.

When the opportunity came up again, the port made the decision to go after the land.

The deal was finally closed on Sept. 4 for $1.23 mil-lion. The Federal Aviation Administration paid for 90 percent of the cost.

According to Wells, the FAA likes to buy up land next to airports to keep airways open and control access.

“They want to protect the air space,” Wells said.

The property is an aqui-fer recharge area and the port has completed a wet-land evaluation, so the next step is finding out what do with the property. Only 15 acres are developable, Port

Manager Bea vonTobel esti-mates.

The port commissioners are currently working on a strategic plan process to look at all the possibilities that might be available for its use.

“We don’t have any imme-diate need for it [the land],” said Board Secretary Steve Hopkins.

Wells said the com-missioners are in the first phases of brainstorming the lands’ potential. She wants to make a list of any ideas no matter how “silly or deadly serious.” The com-missioners are open to ideas from the community with one caveat.

“Because of FAA funding the ideas have to be for an aviation purpose,” she said.

If members of the public have a concept, Wells sug-gest they write up a plan and submit it to the port.

“It may be that we get something that is the mira-cle ingredient,” she said.

The port held a celebra-tion on Sept. 12 with previ-ous owners Laurie and Eric Johnson, current and former port commissioners, rep-resentatives from the FAA and WHPacific and port counsel Diana Hancock.

“It has been a surreal experience,” said Wells about the purchase.

Washington State Ferries is closing the Orcas Ferry Landing for repairs from Oct. 22 (following last sail-ing) to mid-day on Oct. 26.

All Orcas Island automo-bile traffic will be affected; foot passengers will still be able to board and disembark during this time period.

This work will replace the apron’s hydraulic sys-tem, the apron’s hinge system and the end floor

beam of the transfer span girder. Read more about the repairs on the WSF website:

Sheriff’s boat runs agroundThe extent of the repair

ahead for San Juan County Sheriff ’s Boat “Guardian” has yet to be determined.

It ran aground on a sub-merged reef near Sinclair Island on Saturday, Sept. 8 while shuttling a San Juan Island EMS crew and three people injured in a golf cart rollover crash at about 1 a.m. on Decatur Island.

The boat, piloted by a Sheriff ’s deputy at the time,

was en route to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bellingham when it struck the reef. The deputy at the helm is licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard as a captain.

A Coast Guard cut-ter was dispatched from Bellingham to transport the three people with non-life threatening injuries to the hospital. The Guardian was lifted off the reef with a rising tide later that day,

and travelled under its own power to a boat yard in Bellingham for damage assessment. As of Thursday, Sheriff Rob Nou said the department has yet to receive a detailed list of the damage or the amount of repair that will be required.

The “Guardian” is regu-larly used to transport med-ical patients to the main-land throughout the San Juan Islands.

Orcas Recycling wants you to be involved

How do we continue to grow the “Reduce, Reuse Recycle and Up-Cycle” mission of The Exchange, plus expand and improve upon solid waste and recycling services to the Orcas community?

On behalf of all Orcas citizens and future generations, Orcas Recycling Services is now negotiating with San Juan County for a new and eco-nomically viable contract for man-agement of the Orcas solid waste transfer station. ORS proposes that the county contract with ORS to operate the tipping floor and scales, and contract (or we subcontract) with Cimarron to provide trucking and disposal services, as they have in the past. Back-up contracts will minimize any potential risks.

The ORS plan is a long-term, sustainable business model that specifies local jobs and services, lower rates for citizens, all prof-its reinvested into the community, innovative and efficient processing systems, great service and substan-tial outreach and education pro-grams. Over $1 million/five years stays on Orcas.

At the council meeting on Sept. 11, Council Chairwoman Patty Miller said, “I honestly do think ORS is our best long-term solu-tion, but they’re not ready yet.” Council member Howie Rosenfeld said, “The transfer station is not a nuclear power plant. I don’t know why the people can’t come up to speed and operate it.”

ORS invites all islanders to two September meetings on Orcas: Wednesday, Sept. 19, 5:30 p.m. at the Eastsound Fire Hall and Tuesday, Sept. 25, council meeting on Orcas at the Eastsound Fire Station, 10 a.m. ORS provides pub-lic information on its site, www.exchangeonorcas.org, on Facebook “The-Exchange” and at the Farmers’ Market on Sept. 22.

ORS requests that all concerned islanders attend the meetings, and call and write all San Juan County Council members, to tell them that locally run ORS/The Exchange offers the best proposal, for run-ning the transfer station and for our community. Email them at: howier@co.san-juan.wa.us; lovelp@sanjuanco.com; richp@co.san-juan.

Thank you for coming to June’s memorial

We wish to express our gratitude to all those dear folks who came to the reception for the “friends of June Magnuson” at her first home at Orcas. Their tender sharings of their memories of my Mom with my siblings: Joel, Mary and Erik meant the world to them for they had lived here long ago – unlike my husband and me, for we were just here for six years. We already knew she loved all of you!

We also want to thank Bishop Craig Anderson for the wonder-ful service he performed for us at Mom’s gravesite. It was a perfect send-off for an amazing life.

Thoughts on GMOsThere are few places in the world

that could be effectively GMO-free, and the San Juan Islands is one of them. I think this is significant and something we can’t afford to take lightly.

As chairwoman of the Orcas Island Farm to Cafeteria Program as well as a mom and grandmother, I find this opportunity to raise our Island kids eating as few GMO laden products as possible an important one. In my opinion, the effects of GMO products on grow-ing, young bodies is not researched enough to take the chance.

In 2009, The American Academy of Environmental Medicine called

for a moratorium on genetically modified foods, concluding that “GM foods pose a serious health risk in the areas of toxicology, aller-gy and immune function, repro-ductive health, and metabolic, physiologic and genetic health.” (www.aaemonline.org/gmopressre-lease.html).

Monsanto and DuPont, along with additional money from PepsiCo, General Mills, Kellogg, and countless other food and chem-ical companies are spending just under $25 million dollars opposing California’s Proposition 37 requir-ing the labeling of GMO products contained in food. (www.mercu-rynews.com/health/ci_21327364/agriculture-giants-and-biotech-companies-spend-big-defeat) Doesn’t it just seem odd that they don’t even want us to know when we’re eating GMO food?

However, I urge you to inform yourself before you vote on this important issue which is on the November ballot. On Orcas, there will be a film series at the pub-lic library every Thursday starting September 13 through October 25. You may download information on the films and times shown by going to www.orcasislandf2c.org “Links & News” page. Also, on Sept. 19 at 6:30 p.m., consumer advocate, author and filmmaker Jeffrey M. Smith will be personally speak-ing at Odd Fellows about healthier GMO-free choices.

I also urge you to go to www.gmofreesjc.org and read the infor-mation on the FAQs page under “Local Campaign” where the sci-ence and FAQs are addressed.

Editorial

It’s a disease that doesn’t care how old you are, how much money you have in the bank or what color your skin is.

Half of all men and one-third of all women in the United States will develop cancer during their lifetimes. Today, millions of people are living with cancer or have had cancer.

The Islands’ Sounder is paying tribute to local survivors of breast cancer in October, which is breast cancer awareness month. In the Oct. 17 issue, we will feature stories of island women who have fought the disease and won. Plus, our entire edition will be printed on pink paper.

We are seeking sponsors for the section and will donate 10 per-cent of the proceeds to local mercy flights for cancer patients.

The flights are administered through the Orcas Aviation Associa-tion and a handful of pilots participate. They make around 60 flights a year for islanders undergoing cancer treatments or who have a injury that is not life threatening. The pilots donate their time, but the Mercy Flight program reimburses them for their fuel.

We think this is an incredibly worthy cause to support and are proud to be giving what we can to help our neighbors in need.

Support for AngelsOn Friday, Sept. 7, Orcas

Angels held a Benefit Taco Dinner at the American Legion Hall.

We saw many new faces at this dinner and are gracious to those who came down to support Orcas Angels.

We would like to give special thanks to Mike Hedington, The American Legion, Country Corner, The Lower Tavern, Rosario Resort, all of our wonder-ful volunteers and all of our attendees. Without you our dinner wouldn’t have been nearly as successful and without your continued support, we would not be able to take care of those in our community when they unexpectedly hit a time of need.

As always, you can make a donation at Islanders Bank and you can find more information about us at www.orcasangels.org.

Thank You Orcas Island! Orcas Angels

Wooden boat fest was a success

On behalf of Deer Harbor Boatworks, we thank the wonderful volunteers, musi-cians, attendees and employ-ees of the Deer Harbor Marina for an excellent 11th Deer Harbor Wooden Boat Rendezvous.

The Wooden Boat Society of the San Juans fundrais-ing BBQ hosted in the Deer Harbor Boatworks “gar-dens” was once again a great end of the season event.

JP and the OK Rhythm Boys donated their incred-ible acoustic sound to the event. Their consistent gen-erosity to the communities of this island cannot be her-alded enough.

The Jones Family Farm once again provide a most excellently prepared meal of wild salmon and organic produce complimented with potato salad from Charles Dalton’s “The Kitchen.” It seems that the Mudd Brother’s Grill is key to the preparation of the salmon,

so once again thank you for the loan! The Bassett Brew Masters provided free tastings of their award win-ning brews and Boundary Bay Brewing Company of Bellingham once again extended their generosity to our event.

The addition of fresh cut flowers provided by Heather Moss on the tables, with the beautiful plates for food, the music and smiling faces created a wonderful atmosphere of old friends catching up and making new friends.

Funding needed for school music

What a concert! It’s not too late to support our local “School Music Matters” Fund

On Sept. 12, I attended a wonderful concert at the Community Church in Eastsound. The musicians performing were students in the Orcas Middle and High Schools. They presented a

beautiful concert to help launch the “School Music Matters” Fund.

I was impressed by how talented and motivated these students are. They (and we) are so lucky to have excellent school music teachers guiding and moti-vating them, and a school board and administration that know the value of music education in our schools.

However, the funding for keeping our public school music program in its cur-rent form runs out on Sept. 30 this year.

After that, the proposal is to combine all middle and high school strings into one class, and all middle and high school band into one class.

While a number of dedi-cated middle schoolers do play with the high school-ers, as in this concert, com-bining these classes would create too much of a spread in experience and ability in one class, creating frus-tration for both the less experienced and the more advanced students.

Thus, funding is needed to keep the middle school and high school music pro-grams intact and separate.

It’s not too late to support our local “School Music Matters” Fund.

If you can make a dona-tion to the public school music program, it would mean a great deal to the stu-dents and, I believe, to our entire community, which is greatly enriched by having a high quality school music program we can be proud of.

Checks payable to “MAG School Music Matters Fund” can be mailed to: MAG, P.O. Box 1170, Eastsound, WA 98245.

Public school music played a major role in my musical development. And what we have here in our community is very special.

Many thanks for any support you can provide to help keep our local pub-lic school music program going strong!

In addition to supporting our local music program in this way, I also suggest put-ting pressure on our state senators and representatives

to adequately fund public education, which includes music education.

Thanks for school music support

Thanks to all who attend-ed the Sept. 12 School Music Matters concert at Orcas Island Community Church. It was a very impressive per-formance by 13 Orcas Island student musicians!

The concert helped launch the School Music Matters Fund, recently cre-ated by the nonprofit Music Advocacy Group to help pay our music teacher sala-ries and keep the current middle and high school music programs going for this school year. These pro-grams are taught by Pamela Wright (strings) and Martin Lund (band).

If we raise enough money, the current middle and high school programs can keep going, just as they are. If we don’t, these programs – which have been so suc-cessful – would have to change in some significant way. We’re not trying to add something new. We’re just trying to maintain what we have now, the current pro-grams.

The school board and administration both believe in these programs, but due to a reduced budget this year, they could only allo-cate funding for separate middle and high school programs through the end of September – just a few school days from now!

That’s why Marilyn Anderson – a MAG mem-ber and passionate advo-cate of music – initiated the School Music Matters Fund, to raise money to keep these programs going.

The Music Advocacy Group endorses this effort. The Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival endorses this effort. And on Sept. 12, the students themselves showed

their support by enthusi-astically contributing their talents to play a beautiful, hour-long program.

Martin Lund has said, “Having separate middle and high school programs, as we do now, is so impor-tant. The one-room school-house approach just doesn’t work well for music stu-dents at widely different skill levels.”

If you wish to donate, checks written to “MAG School Music Fund” can be mailed to MAG, PO Box 1170, Eastsound, WA 98245. MAG is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation.

I’ve been competing in sail-ing thanks to the great pro-gram of Sail Orcas. Over the last two years I’ve com-peted in the Northwest Youth Racing circuit and have traveled all over west-ern Washington to regattas, where I’ve sailed my boat called the O’pen Bic.

The Bic is a relatively new edition to the Sail Orcas fleet and to youth sailing as a whole. I enjoy it because it’s a more challenging boat to sail than most others built for my size.

This year, I started train-ing in March and practic-ing with the high school sailors. Last year I won the Northwest Youth Circuit award in the Bic class and am on my way to winning for a second time this year.

All this work has given me a chance to compete and represent our island on the world stage. I’ve been invited to the World O’pen Bic regatta in Miami, Fla. early this November. I will get a chance to sail with and

against youth sailors from more than 20 countries. My family and coach Nate Averna want to get my boat and me down to Miami to represent not just Orcas, but the Pacific Northwest in Bic sailing.

But I need your help. Since we have to get my

boat, my coach, a chase boat, my Dad, Mom and sister more than 3,500 miles to Miami, the cost is more than my family can afford. I’m asking for contributions from the good people of this community to help make this happen.

Donations can be made at Washington Federal bank, calling 317-5031 or mailed to PO Box 803, Eastsound, WA 98245. You can also fol-low my journey on Facebook at Maggie in Miami. Thank you for your support.

Yes for more local control

The Charter Review Commission’s platform is simple. We the people

should control our local government instead of being controlled by it. We should take steps to improve the Charter, downsize, and get our financial house in order. To do this we need to put all voters in control of all coun-cil positions and make the council in charge of admin-istration. We need to take control of our government. I urge you to vote for the charter revisions.

In our current charter, citizens are two steps away from keeping their county administrator accountable to the people. The people have no direct control over this very powerful position. This needs to be changed. Your charter review com-missioners are recommend-ing in Proposition #2 to require a county manager whose duties are delegated by the council whose mem-bers are all accountable to all the voters. We will hold them accountable for their actions or failure to act.

County spending is out of control. Your Charter Review Commissioners looked at the council’s own predictions of enormous growth in budgets which will result in deficits, debt, and increased taxes. Salaries are going up and services are going down. As the county government acceler-ates in size and complexity our current council appears helpless to fix it. We the people need to fix it now by voting for sensible changes in our charter that will bring control back to the people.

Ralph GutschmidtOrcas Island

Yes to CRC changesThere have been recent

letters expressing concern that Lopez Island would have equal footing in county governing along with Orcas and San Juan. This was the status for about a hundred years, that is, until we cre-ated six commissioners five years ago.

Now we, the big boys on the block, demand that we must retain this 3 to 1 rep-resentation. Why? Are we smarter? Do we know what is best for everyone? Do we need more jobs here? The State Supreme Court in their wisdom many years ago rec-ognized that islands develop different personalities, from which come different needs and desires and that they should all have equal rep-resentation. Therefore, San Juan County was given a waiver from the “one man one vote” rule. That is how it worked for our entire his-tory, except these last five years.

So now we have been the “Big Guy” for five years. Have we taken the reins and led the county to new highs of accomplishments? Heck no. But we have learned that six people dither and worry a problem to death much, much more than three people. Also, a case can be made that six people will spend more and cost more than three.

Demanding all the power is often counterproductive. We will still have the major-ity of votes for all three com-missioners. Vote YES on the CRC changes.

Jim Stegall San Juan Island

CRC Member & Assistant

No on prop. 1 & 2After serving under the

charter form of government for the last 20 months, I have come to fully appreci-ate the value its separation of legislative and adminis-trative functions provides.

I can attest to the mag-nitude of the political pres-sure that is asserted on our council members. More so than ever before, the cur-rent Council has provided our citizens with new ave-nues to provide input and to observe their government at work. This connection to our constituents is extreme-ly valuable as the Council makes policy decisions in our role as the county’s leg-islative body.

On the administrative side of government, we need to ensure our policies and programs are consis-tently and fairly delivered and enforced and are not subject to the demands of the vocal minority. As the largest employer in the county responsible for the management of a bud-get in excess of $45 mil-lion, consistent leadership is essential to deliver effi-cient high quality services. This can be best achieved by the appointment of a qual-ity county administrator who understands our com-munity’s needs and is held accountable by the council under the current charter. If the voters are unhappy with the degree to which the council members have held the administrator account-able then we must elect new council members, not change the structure.

Let’s not take a step back-wards and put the man-agement of the day to day operations in the hands of

elected officials who may not have any management experience. The existing charter system has in place a set of Rules of Operation regarding the working rela-tionship between the council and the administrator. This document can be improved without gutting the charter model and reverting to the system to voters found to be flawed in 2005.

Please join me in voting to reject Propositions No. 1 and No. 2.

For more information on why we, the voters, should vote No on Propositions 1 and 2, please go to www.votenocharterreview1and2.com.

Patty MillerCounty Council, Orcas

Every organizational structure has its strengths and potential weaknesses. We don’t need to gut the charter system the voters approved in 2005 to make it work better.

The most important fac-tor in our county’s success is not the organizational struc-ture but whom we put in the positions. It’s the people who make it work – whatever the organizational structure is. We will soon have three new council members and a new administrator. Let’s give them an opportunity to make the current charter model work better.

For more information on why voters should REJECT Propositions 1 and 2, please go to www.votenocharter-review1and2.com.

Please REJECT Charter Review Propositions 1 and 2!

LETTERS FROM 5

The following was written by Michelle, a volunteer with Hearts and Hands, anon-profit that helps seniors and the disabled.

In 2008 I retired and moved to Orcas full time. By the next year, I was anxious to get involved in volunteer work and through Betsy Louton at the Senior Center I learned about “Hearts and Hands.”

After talking with Betsy, and having a better understanding of how volunteers can help seniors and disabled persons maintain independence and quality of life, I imme-diately knew I wanted to be a volunteer for this program. A month or so later I had the pleasure of meeting Grace Kidder, an 87-year-old woman living on her own who was in need of some help around the house. Grace and I hit it off immediately and over time we developed a special friendship.

The Hearts and Hands program is an amazing opportunity to give back. I visited Grace weekly. Sometimes we just talked – she had a wealth of information to share about Orcas, as she had lived here for many years. As a newcomer to the island, I got

to learn more about island life and she got to share her stories. Sometimes we would play card games. Most often, I helped with chores.

She wrote letters to friends and family, but as time went on, it became more dif-ficult for her to write. She loved to send holiday cards, but that became difficult. So I brought my computer to her home and she talked while I typed. That year she was able to send a “holiday newsletter” to friends and family.

Grace passed away peacefully in early August. I’ll miss our time together. If it wasn’t for the Hearts and Hands program, our paths may have never crossed.

The organization is financed through fundraising activities of the Senior Center Advisory Committee. The support we receive from United Way is critical in ensur-ing the continuation of this program.

To support United Way, mail your gift to P.O. Box 3181, Friday Harbor, WA 98250 or online at www.unitedway-sanjuancounty.org.

him. He talked to the barns’ owners and felt a deep connection to the historic structures. McBride, who lived on Orcas for six years, approached several orga-nizations – including the historical museum – about making a calendar, but the timing wasn’t right.

“Lo and behold, 22 years later, I get a call from the museum saying they want to do it,” he said. “I am so excited for it to be used for people to enjoy and appre-ciate … barns reflect the history and culture of the island.”

The 2013 calendar, avail-able for $12 at the museum,

is in honor of the “Tour of Historic Orcas Barns” on Oct. 13 and 14.

McBride, now a resident of Corvalis, Ore., only has five of his original paintings left. In early September, he brought them to the muse-um, where they will be dis-played and then featured in a silent auction during the barn tour.

He describes his art pro-cess as “the pencil work is the skeleton, the ink is the flesh and putting on the wash is when it breathes and speaks.”

While a few of the build-ings depicted in McBride’s paintings are no longer standing, the majority are still scattered throughout Orcas Island. He says they

are “like an old soldier in the field, standing all alone.”

Each calendar month has a brief description and his-tory of the barn.

“This is a dream come true,” he said. “There is a link between my heart, these barns and Orcas.”

Barn tour ticketsTickets are on sale now at

www.orcasmuseum.org, the historical museum, cham-ber of commerce, and Art of the Salish Sea. They are $20 or $15 for historical soci-ety members. Those under 12 are free. A prize will be awarded each week to the winner of a drawing from the purchased ticket num-bers.

BARNS FROM 1

Aug. 21: An Orcas Island preschool fell victim to a series of burglaries and thefts in the Eastsound area when someone broke in and swiped a metal cashbox con-taining $10 in change. The thief, or thieves, reportedly enter the preschool’s North Beach Road building through an unlocked door on its south side.

Aug. 24: Diamonds, a gold ring and a collection

of rare coins disappeared from an Orcas Island home in an apparent burglary and theft. Someone reportedly crawled through a “dog-gie door” of the Eastsound home, which was locked at the time, ransacked its bed-room drawers and made off with $500 worth of rare U.S. and Canadian coins and jew-elry, including a half-dozen half-karat diamonds.

Aug. 25: Excessive speed

prompted a mid-afternoon arrest of a Colorado man for driving with a suspend-ed license following a traf-fic stop on Lopez Island’s Fisherman Bay Road. The 23-year-old, who was pulled over in the 3600 block at about 1 p.m., was issued a criminal citation and ordered to appear in a Friday Harbor courtroom the two weeks later. He was also ticketed for speeding.

SHERIFF’S LOGSan Juan County Sheriff’s Department reported responding to these calls:

The current contract for waste and recycling disposal by Waste Management ends on Dec. 31, 2012.

In a 5-1 decision, with Rosenfeld dissenting, the council voted to accept the recommendation out-lined by Hale. Both the staff report and council mem-bers noted that Cimarron’s finances, personnel and experience with garbage give them the edge to run the tipping floor.

Responding to Rosenfeld’s preference for Orcas Recycling, Council Chairwoman Patty Miller said the goal was two con-tracts “that assure financial viability of each service and each provider with no sub-sidization” by the county.

Rosenfeld said Orcas Recycling would “better advance overall goals of recycling, reuse and long-term waste reduction.”

Miller, however, noted that Cimarron was ready now to handle and trans-port garbage and bulk recy-cling off Orcas. ORS, on the other hand, had not yet identified a transportation partner or shown the coun-cil how it could take over operations by the end of the year, according to Miller and others on the council.

Miller did acknowledge that “ORS may be the best long-term solution.”

To that end, she hopes the Cimarron contract could be limited to five years, giv-ing Orcas Recycling time to expand its services beyond its current, and highly regarded, reuse program.

Now the county has to construct contracts that are acceptable to both Cimarron and Orcas Recycling – espe-cially providing a revenue stream that will permit Orcas Recycling to develop services beyond its present reuse business.

Public Works Director Frank Mulcahy is confident it can and will be done.

“We can negotiate a con-tract with Orcas Recycling so they can develop a busi-ness plan with the revenue it needs to be successful,” he said. “I think the coun-cil’s goals for solid waste in the county are definitely achievable with hard work and positive thinking by everyone.”

ORS has a petition stating it is “best equipped to oper-ate and manage the Orcas transfer station.” It can be signed online here: http://goo.gl/O0Eti.

ORS is hosting an infor-mational meeting at the Eastsound Fire Station on Sept. 19 at 5:30 p.m.

The county council will discuss solid waste at a council meeting on Orcas on Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 10 a.m. in the fire hall.

During last week’s ses-sion, the council also passed the Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Plan previously approved by the council and the Washington Department of Ecology and increased the current 10 percent excise tax on gar-bage to 16 percent.

The tax on garbage pick-up and self-haul fees will raise about $331,000 per year to finance the county’s solid waste budget, includ-ing debt payments.

The Lopez Solid Waste District also imposed a sim-ilar 16 percent tax, which Mulcahy estimates would raise about $40,000 – just enough for Lopez to pay an agreed-upon annual con-tribution of $39,000 for its part of the county’s solid waste budget.

The tax applies only to garbage collections and drop-off, not to recyclable collection, reuse or other non-garbage services. Hale estimated that applying the tax to recyclables could reduce the tax to 12 percent, but that idea was rejected by the council to keep recy-cling costs attractive to con-sumers.

Foundation Board

This month we are reach-ing out to donors to help with two different needs at the school. The first need is to help fund more hours for our incredible music teachers so that there may separate the middle school and high school band and strings programs. Because of budget cuts, these two levels of students will now be in a combined class.

The other need is to help re-open our school library. Like so many districts struggling with dwindling state and federal funding, the school library program is often one of the first cuts made to a budget.

But the reason for my let-ter is to point to the lead-ership of our students in wanting to bring back both music and the library to our schools. I am awed, and humbled, at their commit-ment to both programs.

Eleven string students and two alumni performed their hearts out at an amaz-ing concert to raise money for the music program on Sept. 12.

And what about Arla Sutton who sold brownies, and Jefferson Freeman who sold eggs only to turn around and donate their earnings to re-open the library? Then

there is Trevor Faulkner – third grader: “When Trevor found out the future of the library was uncertain, he jumped into action to save his favorite place at school,” says his mom Cathy. Trevor set aside a portion of his summer allowance to help keep the library open. His parents matched his $61.

In addition, students are selling wrapping paper through the Orcas Island Education Foundation. All the proceeds will go to help

re-open the library. You can shop online: https://www.innisbrook.com/credits. Our school # is 101251.

And if you want to give to either the “School Music Matters” or “Unwrap the Library,” go www.OIEF.org. You can also send a check to OIEF, P.O. Box 782, Eastsound, WA 98245.

My awe and humility not only extend to our creative and giving students, but to you, the community, for all the support and generosity.

“Skin conditions are an area of special

interest to me!”— Tony Giefer, MD, MPH

Orcas Medical Center is at 7 Deye Lane, next door to Orcas Center. Call 376-2561 for appointments | orcasmedicalcenter.com

Dr. Tony Giefer is Medical Director at Orcas Medical Center. He has lived on Orcas Island with his wife, MaryAnn, since 2005.

Experienced in all aspects of Family Medicine, he also has a master’s degree in public health and a special interest in conditions of the skin.

“We can now evaluate and treat many of the skin conditions that used to require a mainland dermatologist,” he said. “With equipment such as our Dermatoscope, we’re able to more accurately assess the nature of any skin condition, including potential skin cancers.”

Diving straight into the season, the boys Viking soc-cer team opened their sea-son at Shoreline Christian with a tough 3-1 loss.

“We played well once our nerves settle,” said coach Matt Stolmeier, but two quick soft goals and an inadvertent own-goal did not change the fact that the Vikings out played Shoreline for a majority of the game. Jack Russillo blasted the only Viking goal from a great pass from William Coe. Reflecting on the loss, Stolmeier is excited for a rematch against Shoreline homecoming weekend on Oct. 6.

Without preseason warm up matches, the pressure to work out the kinks quickly is critical for the Vikings as they face tough league games immediately and all 14 games are league play.

Vikings football trav-eled to Friday Harbor last week for the Island Cup, the highly anticipated tug-of-war between islands to settle who earns bragging rights and a trophy. Friday Harbor, a class 1A school and touting a strong team, won 41-0 against the class 2B Vikings in a game that

demonstrated the toughness of the Orcas players against a massive opponent.

Armed with boisterous fans lining the Orcas side-lines, the undaunted Viking team proudly took the field with only 16 suited players, including three freshmen with minimal football expe-rience, against a 43-plus Wolverine team that includ-ed 18 juniors and seniors.

This year for the Vikings the game was not for the Island Cup, it was for survival. The diminutive and undersized Orcas team had beat the Wolverines two years in a row with smaller, under-sized teams, and Friday Harbor remembered.

At the end of the second half, the Wolverines man-aged a 20-0 lead from both passing and rushing touch-

Vikings football wages battle against FHdowns. Despite every Viking playing both defense and offense, the vigilant Vikings still managed strong drives and tight defense. Juniors Joe Kostechko and Keenan O’Brien and freshman Kyle Masters and Pasha Bullock gained true battle experi-ence with the most adverse conditions they had ever played in.

Sophomore starters Demitri Pence, Joey Susol and Jay Zier filled key roles in both offense and defense and displayed the tough demeanor coach Scott Harris instills in his players. Harris was especially proud of his seniors, Danile Briggs, Spencer Crow, Rylan Date, Di Mowrey, Jack Russillo, Devon Stanzione and Jake Zier, who took on leader-ship and lead them all to battle.

The Lady Vikings vol-leyball team traveled to Shoreline Christian last week and lost three sets to 0. Despite the loss, coaches Gregg Sasan and Hank Date saw promising individual performances and overall play improvement. However, a spectator summed up the coaches’ feelings when they said, “I saw six girls playing out there, but I didn’t see a team.”

On Sept. 11, a determined Lady Viking team traveled to Friday Harbor motivated by Sasan’s challenge to “make a statement about who we are as a team.”

In the presence of a typi-cal hostile crowd and a loud gym, the Vikings took the court and proceeded to hold

the upper hand from start, winning in three straight sets. Ferocious and rapid fire rallies highlighted the match, with Orcas turning back nearly every attack that the Wolverines could muster.

The Lady Vikings hosted the Lopez Lobos on Sept. 14, maintaining their strong performance with a three set victory. Coaches noted that all players on the Orcas squad made appearances in the match and contributed to the win.

F alling. Spitting out your teeth. Getting lost. Being chased. Reuniting with the dead. The world of dreams can be exquisite,

startling and terrifying.What interests Carol Weiss about these visions

are not just what appears, but what each element of a dream can tell us about ourselves.

“Dreams are from the depth of our psyche, not the surface,” she said. “What we do when we dream at night, what we are trying to do is solve our problems – the meaning of life problems.”

Weiss, a marriage and family therapist, has been working with dream therapy for the last 40 years. Weiss is a Jungian psychotherapist who specializes in dream analysis in her Lopez prac-tice. Over the years she has learned that these subconscious visions provide us with “a deep storehouse of wisdom” within ourselves that can gives us psychological and spiritual support.

In celebration of the power of dreams, Weiss is presenting the DVD “Appointment with the Wise Old Dog – Dream Images in a Time of Crisis,” Thursday, Sept. 27, 5 to 6:30 p.m., at the Lopez Library meeting room.

The film features writings and drawings that grew out of David Blum’s dreams. Blum was a musician and conductor, and wrote the script and finished the work while dying of cancer.

“The images are so beautiful and so eloquent and are shown in a way to give credence to how important dreams can be,” Weiss said. “So many times people attribute dreams to just something they ate or saw on TV.”

This dismissal of our sleeping visions can be unhelpful, added Weiss, because a culture that does not study or validate dreams may be missing an opportunity to unite over a shared instinctive wisdom.

On Orcas, Nancy Ayer is facilitating a dream group beginning Monday, Sept. 24, 7-9 p.m. at the Parish Hall of Emmanuel Church each Monday for six weeks – Sept. 24, Oct. 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29. The group is free and open to the community.

“Dreams are messages from our unconscious to our conscious minds and come to us in the service of our health and wholeness,” Ayer said. “Dreams are sacred, highly personal and filled with images, symbols and metaphors which can give us important road signs along our path or journey through life; yet we often need help in discerning these images and meanings.”

She will be using Jeremy Taylor’s method of dreamwork from his book, “The Living Labyrinth,” but it is not a pre-requisite for the group.

Taylor has worked with dream interpretation for more than 35 years and advocates “projective dreaming,” allowing the dreamer to consider,

or not, someone else’s interpretation of their dream. Often new insights in the form of what Taylor calls “aha moments” can shed light on an otherwise indecipherable dream, Ayer said.

Most dreams are elusive, said Weiss, espe-cially to the dreamer, and can often feel random or without meaning.

Weiss compares dreams to the production of a film. We all have an “inner” producer making the dream, a director that creates the action, a scriptwriter to tell the story, a casting director for characters and the prop manager.

The “inner” prop manager picks things from the day to use to tell the story. Weiss said even seemingly random images from TV can sym-bolize something that has meaning in our lives.

“Why would we go to all that trouble if there is no meaning – it’s a big job doing this for our-selves each night,” she said.

We all dream, Weiss added, but we often don’t remember.

The nights that fill our sleeping minds with startling or beautiful images or strong emotional content are the ones that hold repeating themes that may be telling us “to pay attention.”

“A new kind of spirituality, not connected to any religion, is emerging in the 21st cen-tury which calls for, in addition to some kind of contemplative practice, self awareness and an awakened consciousness,” Ayer said.

What visions in the night can tell us about the meaning of life

There will be a question and answer session, reception and book signing at Darvill’s Bookstore following the lecture. Tickets are $10 and available at Darvill’s or at the door. Some complimentary tickets are available at the Orcas Senior Center. Seating is limited; tickets recommended.

As part two in the enhancement of the Orcas Island Library landscape, Emily Aring will teach land-scape design principles and lead a hands-on work party to plant island-appropriate (deer, drought and wind resistant) ornamental trees, shrubs, and grasses from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29 at the library.

Aring has designed the workshop as a participatory class. During the morning “classroom” session (over

coffee and donuts), she will present on key aesthetic and ecological principles of landscape design and describe ideal plants for island gardens.

Island resident Rolf Erickson will describe the process by which he filters harmful bacteria, chemicals and metals from sewage and composts it into safe “humanure.”

Then teams will be formed to install new plant-ings on the library grounds.

With a break for a potluck lunch, participants get hands-on experience in soil preparation, planting, transplanting and mulch-ing, while helping to beau-tify the library grounds.

Registration is limited to 12 islanders with curious minds and strong backs. Email or call Margaret Payne, mpayne_orcas@live.com, 253-302-9769.

Funds, time, talent, and materials for the project are donated by Friends of the Library, Emily Aring, Rolf Erickson, Charlie Nigretto, and Driftwood Nursery.

Landscape design party at library

This month’s dinner kitchen is on Thursday, Sept. 27 from 5 to 7 p.m.

The dinner will feature barbecued pulled pork and pork sliders with all of the trim-mings. There will be something for every-one, including vegetarian dishes and items for the kids. Dinner Kitchens are held year-

round on the fourth Thursday of each month at Emmanuel Church. They are a free gift especially for our island seniors, food bank participants and anyone in need of a hot meal.

Call organizer Tom Murdock at 376-6166 with questions.

Due to unusually dry weather, San Juan County continues to experience a high level of fire danger.

The open burning sea-son usually begins on Oct. 1 of each year. This year, because the risk of fire remains very high, the start of the open burning season will be delayed until the fire danger is reduced to a more manageable level.

Until enough rain falls to reduce the fire danger, per-mits will remain unavail-able. This is expected to be the case through most of October. Visit www.sjcfire-marshal.org for more info.

Max, Friday and Russell want to show you how cute, playful and adoptable they are. These Terrier mix males are siblings, about a year old. They’re great “forever” dogs! Visit all the animals at the Orcas Animal Shelter any day from 2 to 5 p.m., call 376-6777, or check www.orcas-pets.org.

erwise receive them. Islanders will get a chance

to vote a 2012 Eastsound Chili Cook-Off Champion. There will be first, second and third places awarded in each category. All champi-ons will be voted by event attendees. For an entry fee of $10, each attendee will receive a tasting portion of each ten entrants. Some

After several weeks of public voting with more than 5,000 votes counted, three southern resident

community orca calves have new names. The newly named babies are: Ripple (K-44), Keta (L-117), and

Jade (L-118). Receiving a name is an important event. It acknowledges the whale has survived their first win-ter, making their chances for long term survival much greater.

These active, young whales have returned with their pod and have been seen throughout the sum-mer. They have now been entered into the Orca Adoption Program, which was started in the spring of 1984. At the time the program was created, a Congressional bill to ban

live captures of killer whales was pending; it subsequent-ly passed. Today, thousands of people know Granny (J-2), Oreo (J-22) and other southern resident orcas through the Orca Adoption Program.

Symbolically adopting a whale also supports the mis-sion of The Whale Museum which, since 1979, has been promoting stewardship of whales and the Salish Sea eco-system through educa-tion and research.

For more info, contact Orca Adoption at 378-4710.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a firewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
