It’s been a year since his election to office, and Councilman Rick Hughes is still passionate about county government.

“I love my job,” he said. “I feel like the county is really making changes.”

As the chairman of the coun-cil, Hughes leads its twice a week public sessions on Monday and Tuesday. He says the synergy of the three-member council, which includes Jamie Stephens from Lopez and Bob Jarman from San Juan, is going strong.

“Bob, Jamie and I see eye to eye on running the county,” he said. “We have different ideologi-cal opinions, but with the core operations, day to day, we agree … I have the utmost respect for both Bob and Jamie. They are good people who really care about the common good of the county.”

Looking back on his first year in office, Hughes said he is most proud of helping to privatize the solid waste operations on Lopez and Orcas.

“The Orcas Recycling Services folks worked really, really hard,” Hughes said. “And now the county is out of the solid waste business.”

He is also happy the council was able to put $650,000 in the rainy day fund and has “held the budget line.”

Within the next few months, Hughes will have helped overseen completion of three elements of the Growth Management Act. The transportation component is done; the Critical Areas Ordinance will be approved in March, once Councilman Bob Jarman is back (for a story on Jarman’s illness, see page three); and the economic development component is slated to be done by June.

Hughes is proud of the changes in Community Development and

Planning and improving the effec-tiveness of county government.

“The permit times are coming down quickly,” he said. “And we are improving the quickness of completing county projects – it’s not as fast as I want, but we’re get-

Almost Classical wowed audiences with vocals, violin, harp and piano and took home this year's honor of the Orcas Has Talent crown.

Paris Wilson and Emy and Lisa Carter, pictured above, said they were stunned to have won the Feb. 8 competition at Orcas Center.

“We are shocked beyond belief,” Emy said.Added Paris, “We just wanted to make it to the

second round ... It’s bittersweet because we can’t compete again.”

Master of Ceremonies John Clancy hosted the talent show and summed it up well: “It’s clear to me, Orcas will always have talent.”

Judges Gene Nery, Susan Osborn and Bob Shipstad once again gave positive feedback for the contestants.

The evening opened with Almost Classical’s rendi-tion of “Trouble” on the piano and violins.

Madi Jane West demonstrated daring moves on the aerial silks, a performance that Nery dubbed “Cirque de Madi Jane.”

Soprano Cali Bagby gave what judges called a “stunning” performance of “Think of me” from “The Phantom of the Opera” with Grace McCune on

piano. Shipstad said it was like watching a Broadway performance.

The judges said Arianna Dean had “wonderful stage presence” during her rendition of “Who will Save Your Soul?”

Matthew Laslo, the 2013 Orcas Has Talent Junior winner, demonstrated his strong rapport with the audience, performing an interactive magic trick.

Stormy Hildreth, the 2014 Orcas Has Talent Junior winner, opted to perform against the adults. She played the piano and sang “The Rose.” Shipstad told her, “You really deserve to be on this stage.”

Violinist Sasha Hagen took inspiration from pop music and performed a “Classical Mash Up” on the violin.

Yuko Horikawa sang a Japanese ballad that judges said took the audience “to another world.”

In round two, Almost Classical performed “Don’t Stop Believing” with piano, vocals and violin. Nery said, “You even managed to include all the guitar licks.”

West gave another silks performance that had audiences members gasping when she descended

The lawsuit against the Tesoro Corporation by family members of seven workers killed in the 2010 Anacortes refinery explosion was settled in December for $39 million.

In January, the federal Chemical Safety Board issued a draft report detail-ing extensive lapses in safety by Tesoro, by indus-try support groups such as the American Petroleum Institute and by state and federal regulatory agencies.

According to the report, the explosion and fire at the Tesoro refinery in Anacortes “was caused by damage to the heat exchanger, a mechanism known as ‘high temperature hydrogen attack’ or HTHA, which severely cracked and weakened carbon steel tub-ing leading to a rupture.”

The rupture leaked highly flammable “naph-tha,” which self-ignited and caused massive explosion and fire. Two people were

killed instantly, five others died later in the hospital and one contract employee survived with major inju-ries.

The report noted “a considerable frequency of significant and deadly acci-dents at refineries over the last decade.”

The draft report, which must still be formally approved by the CSB, pro-posed more than 40 safe-ty recommendations to Washington’s legislature and governor, to state and federal regulatory agen-cies, and to Tesoro and the American Petroleum Institute.

David Beninger of the Luvera Law Firm Group, attorney for the plaintiffs, said that funds had been disbursed to his clients and that a companion lawsuit against Lloyds Register Energy, an inspection con-tractor, had not been settled and would proceed to trial.

Congressman Rick Larson, whose district includes the refinery and

who has been pressing the CSB to finish and release the report, issued a state-ment that said, “This long overdue report tells us this accident was not only trag-ic, it was preventable.”

This winter, the Chemical Safety Board held a “listening session” for public comments. The report can be accessed at www.csb.gov/assets/1/19/Tesoro_Anacortes_2014-Jan-29_Draft_for_Public_Comment.pdf.

Tesoro to pay $39 million over fatal Anacortes explosion

The Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce is presenting its 1st Annual Birds and Wildlife Festival: BirdFest 2014 on April 10 to 12.

BirdFest offers activities sure to please all who enjoy the birds and wildlife of the Pacific Northwest, say organizers.

The lineup of walks, talks, workshops, and activities are ideal for all ages and experience levels.

“This is our inaugural BirdFest, and we have events sure to please everyone,” said Festival Director Michell Marshall. “If you

The Orcas Island Community Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2014 competitive grants program.

Trustee Coleen O’Brien will chair the grants com-mittee, whose members include both OICF Trustees and community members. In the 2013 grants cycle, OICF, together with its Partners in Philanthropy, awarded $130,828 to 28 dif-ferent Orcas Island organi-zations.

While all grant applica-tions will be considered, OICF is prioritizing pro-posals that increase our capacity as a community to address specific or emerg-ing needs. To this end, we encourage grant applicants to submit request that:

• Increase coordination and cooperation of pro-grams and services

• Provide education and training for both staff and community to increase capacity

• Develop pathways of communication to enhance outreach and support

The committee will also consider the identified need the application addresses, number of islanders served, impact on those served, if other funding has been sought, and whether it is a collaborative effort.

Lastly, the committee will look at the grant appli-cation’s measurements, as described and demon-strated at the November Measurements Workshop with Jim Connell.

Organizations are encouraged to contact OICF to discuss grant ideas; applications are available at www.oicf.us.

The committee reviews all grant applications and conducts a site visit to learn more about each proposal. The committee then con-venes and prioritizes vetted and approved proposals to make funding recommen-dations to the OICF Board.

Funds will be given to successful applicants at the Grants Award Celebration in May 2014.

Contact Kate Long or Hilary Canty at 376-6423 or email grants@oicf.us with questions or for more information.

Councilmember Bob Jarman was taken by ambu-lance to St. Joseph Hospital/Peace Health in Bellingham on Jan. 27 for what now has been diagnosed as an

aggressive bacterial infec-tion – Strep A, commonly known as “flesh eating bac-teria.”

Jarman extends his deep appreciation for Dr. Gossom and staff at the San Juan Island Peace Health Hospital and the EMS Flight Crew, who got him to the hospital in time to receive life saving treat-ment.

In a statement regard-ing his condition, Jarman wrote, “I will be in the hospital most of this week while I continue on a pro-gram of intensive antibac-

terial treatment to help balance out all systems. Talking on the phone has not been possible, but I have been keeping up with emails and texts through family members. I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and good wishes through this ordeal.”

Jarman also wrote that he is on the road to recovery.

“I will keep up with county issues and continue working closely with my fellow councilmembers. I will see you all soon,” he said.

Resolution on hayride incident

The Christmas Eve Hayride has been of concern to many in our community. After a thorough review of the information available, interviews of several witnesses and parties involved in the event, and discussions with other law enforce-ment agency executives I have come to several conclusions. I have taken action to address these con-cerns and will take further action as necessary as a result of this review.

Deputy Menjivar was right to stop the pickup and trailer. The inherent safety concerns of hav-ing up to 30 people riding on the trailer, even at low speed, without taillights, signals or brakelights are obvious.

While there has been extensive criticism of Deputy Menjivar’s actions during the course of the stop, the behavior of others con-tributed to the actions of the depu-ties. There are lessons to be learned through this experience. Even though the stop looked ugly, it was a dynamic and stressful situation, for all involved. Ultimately it was a verbal confrontation.

To keep all this in perspective, let’s not lose sight of the facts that in the course of the 15 minute traffic stop, there was no use of force, no one was injured, no citations were issued and everyone went safely on their way. Regrettably, things were said that should not have been said.

Both deputies have been debriefed extensively to critique their actions throughout the stop, and examine the decision points throughout a rapidly evolving set of circumstances.

Moving forward:Appropriate discipline has been

applied for policy and rule viola-tions that occurred in the course of this event. Disciplinary action is consistent with the county person-nel rules and the collective bargain-ing agreement.

The body-worn cameras have been removed from service and will undergo a forensic examina-tion and functionality check.

As resources allow, I will begin outfitting patrol cars with in-car video systems and implementing policies on their use, and the pres-ervation and retention of audio and video files.

Concern over pipelineI am deeply concerned by the

proposed expansion of Canada’s Trans Mountain pipeline and the resulting increase in oil tanker traffic that would occur in the restricted waters adjacent to the San Juan Islands. The additional 816 yearly tanker transits to and form the Westridge Terminal in Vancouver, BC would produce a sevenfold increase in shipping past the San Juan Islands each year. This would dangerously escalate the risk of a highly toxic oil spill in our waters -- a risk to our health and our environment which we are ill equipped to deal with.

The Washington State Department of Ecology and the San Juan County Council both

need seats at the table in any dis-cussions which authorize such an expansion. I urge both to apply to Canada’s National Energy Board as Intervenors in the National Energy Board’s review of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain Expansion pro-posal.

I urge all San Juan County residents to contact our County Council and the Washington State Department of Ecology to express your concern.

Reporter’s notebook

The first time I sang “We Shall Overcome,” I was standing on the roof of a hospital in Bangladesh. My grandfather, an orthopedic surgeon who founded the hospital, was singing “We shall all be

free. We shall all be free someday” as the nurses, janitors, cooks and doctors hummed along.I later learned the Bangladeshi lyrics to the song and performed in villages we visited in the days I spent in Bangladesh. It was the first time I realized that music truly knows no geography lines. It was also there I learned what it meant to live in poverty, without medical supplies for your children. It was also perhaps the first time I truly understood the power of hope because I saw it everyday in the calm and generous faces of the people I met. And perhaps I understood more of what the song ‘We Shall Overcome” meant, to me at least, that every day people were overcoming immense ob-stacles and they were living and they were still loving one another. It was in Bangladesh I stopped feeling pity for the “Third World” and started wishing I had one ounce of the strength I was surrounded by. Now as I contemplate Pete Seeger’s death and more importantly his life, I can hear his comforting voice singing “We Shall Overcome,” and it brings back those dusty memories.Seeger’s rendition of the song was described perfectly in a recent article by Rufus Wainwright.“‘We Shall Overcome’ was not just an aspiration, it was a plan,” he wrote.Seeger fought on behalf of the labor movement, the struggle for Civil Rights, the peace and anti-war campaigns and he rallied for a clean and better world.What I love most about him is that he put his passions above all fears. Seeger served a year of a 10-year jail sentence for refusing to testify before the Un-American Activities Committee, which had blacklisted his band, the Weavers. He had a strength that seemed to run through every particle of his being. So when local musician Sharon Abreu started sending out emails last week about gathering island artists for a tribute concert, I jumped at a chance to be a part of continuing Seeger’s message.The concert is Sunday, Feb. 23, 3-6 p.m. at Emmanuel Parish Hall. The concert is free. Any donations will go to two nonprofits: Indian Island Marine Health Observatory and Hudson River Sloop Clearwa-ter, founded by Pete and Toshi Seeger in 1966. To read more about the concert, see the story on page 8. Sharon is also a musician dedicated to political and environmental issues. She is well known for her activism and her annual Martin Lu-ther King concerts on Orcas, which foster community and memory of a man who believed in standing up against injustice.“My life was profoundly altered by Pete Seeger, his mission, vision and music. I am forever grateful. And I will forever strive for a more perfect union and a compassionate, sustainable world,” wrote Sharon in an email shortly after Seeger passed on. She added, “I’ve heard Pete say, ‘That if there’s a human race on Earth a hundred years from now, music will be part of the reason.’ I’ve also heard him say, ‘It will be because of millions of little things done by ordinary people every day.’ I believe both of those are true.”I agree, but in ordinary things like singing a simple song, it doesn’t feel ordinary, it feels extraordinary that we can have so much hate and violence in this world and at the same moment we can have so much beauty, strength and love.“Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe we shall overcome someday.”

by CHARLES ZALMANEKSan Juan County Assessor

The 1889 state constitu-tion recognized that to be effective, uniformity must apply to both assessments and tax rates. Fairness, uni-formity and equity are the hallmarks of Washington’s property tax system and assessors and their staffs continually endeavor to maintain that goal. When different portions of the property tax system are not appropriately maintained, fairness, uniformity and equity are compromised. This article focuses on the three top ways to improve the fairness of San Juan County's property tax sys-tem. Each would impact some taxpayers negatively, but each would promote the fairness all taxpayers expect and deserve.

First, the Assessor’s Office should continue to monitor all lands enrolled in special tax programs and remove non-compliant lands as required under the law. An appeal process is avail-able for landowners who disagree with the Assessor regarding the removal of their lands from classifica-tion.

Second, the county coun-cil should immediately re-rate all properties with out-dated Public Benefit Ratings allowing the Assessor's office to revalue these lands under the current rating system.

Third, the county coun-cil should provide the necessary funding for the Assessor's office to list and appraise all new construc-tion, not just new construc-tion on ferry-served islands with a value over a certain threshold, each and every year. The additional fund-ing would likely be more than offset by the additional revenues generated.

Most islanders are aware of lands that are enrolled in the Current Use Farm and Agricultural Program where little or no farming is taking place. Most are also aware of lands enrolled in the Current Use Timber or Designated Forest Land Programs where there has been no apparent manage-ment of the lands for growth and harvest of trees. When lands were enrolled into any

of these programs, agree-ments were signed, allowing the Assessor to value the lands at their “current use” rather than at their “highest and best use” in exchange for managing the lands appropriately. As a result, the tax burden is shifted away from owners of these lands and onto all other San Juan County taxpayers. When lands are not man-aged appropriately, the law requires that the Assessor remove them from program enrollment and issue com-pensating taxes.

In 1990, San Juan County implemented the state's Open Space Act and devel-oped a Public Benefit Rating System for parcels of land to be enrolled in the Open Space Program, which rewards voluntary resource preservation. The number of PBRS points awarded converts directly into a percentage of reduc-tion in assessed value of the subject land. When the council amends a PBRS, all existing open space par-cels must be rated under the amended PBRS (RCW 84.34.055(3) and WAC 458-30-330(6)).

The Department of Revenue recently per-formed a Review of the Current Use Program in San Juan County.

The report stated, “We found that there were exist-ing open space land par-cels that were rated under the original PBRS, and had not been rated under the amended PBRS.”

The original PBRS allowed for as many as 90 points, which equates to a ninety percent discount in land valuation for tax purposes. The maximum number of points available under the current PBRS is 70. The DOR estimated that approximately 150 par-cels are still rated under a prior PBRS. By not re-rating Open Space lands using the amended PBRS guidelines, a significant tax shift con-tinues to exist in favor of owners of lands classified under the old PBRS and away from all other taxpay-ers. Fairness, uniformity and equity will continue to be compromised until all parcels are rated using the same PBRS.

The Assessor is required to list and appraise all new construction each year. Unfortunately, in the two decades that I have worked in the Assessor’s office, we have never had the neces-sary resources to accomplish this. This office has omitted new construction apprais-als on non-ferry served islands and also routinely omits appraisal of new con-struction with lower values, due to inadequate staffing. Without adequate resources to appraisal all new con-struction, all taxing districts including the county are not receiving revenues that could help alleviate funding issues.

In the 2011 Assessor’s budget presentation to the county council, the Assessor provided an illustration of the compounding effect of capturing new construction value, but the necessary funding was not granted. As a result, newly construct-ed buildings are sometimes not placed on the tax rolls for several years. Again, fairness, uniformity and equity of taxation are com-promised.

The overall effect of the above deficiencies causes some taxpayers to pay more, while the county and all other taxing districts receive less, creating a seri-ous breach in the notion of fairness, uniformity and equity in taxation.

With assistance and support from the county council, the Assessor could accomplish the goals out-lined above and create a more fair uniform and equitable system of proper-ty taxation for all taxpayers in San Juan County.

The auditor’s chief accountant has her sights set on a new role with the county – an elected posi-tion, at that.

On Jan. 30, San Juan Island’s Rhonda Pederson, pictured at right, announced her candidacy for the office of San Juan County treasurer.

It’s Pederson’s first-ever bid for public office and she’s excited by the pros-pects, and said that she possesses the skills and experience to excel at the top of the county’s financial sphere.

“I believe my depth of experience working in the county auditors’ office as

well as the amount of time I have spent working with our current treasurer, Jan Sears, and other county officials, will be a benefit to our community,” Pederson said in a press release.

Incumbent Jan Sears, now in the final year of a second four-year term in office, is not seeking reelec-tion. Duties of the treasurer, a non-partisan elected post, include tracking and over-sight of all monies collected by the county, including those of junior taxing dis-tricts, and county financial investments; preparation of excise tax affidavits in prop-erty sales and transfers, and preparing and sending out annual property tax state-ments.

The treasurer supervises two and a half full-time employees and receives an annual salary of $75,000, benefits included.

New candidacy for treasurer announced County parks announces the appoint-

ment of David St. George as the new Lopez Island Park Manager. David is a career Wildlife Biologist/Land Manager who has worked for public and private nonprofit organizations for more than 20 years.

The position became available after the resignation of Charlie Prince, who was the manager for three years and helped facili-tate renovations at Odlin Park in addi-tion to overseeing regular operations of the seven county parks on Lopez. The new park manager will begin work on Lopez in early February. Dona Wuthnow, Parks and Fair Director, selected St. George from a group that included several highly qualified applicants.

“He brings a whole new level of skills and abilities to the parks department. His combination of talents will help us not only in the management of the newly renovated Odlin Park, but in developing a manage-ment plan for Odlin South, and improv-ing management and operations at all the county parks on Lopez.”

St. George has extensive experience as a biologist in conducting wildlife and vegeta-tion surveys, habitat restoration, and weed

management. As a Nature Conservancy land manager for the past eight years, he ran the daily operations of five preserves total-ing 30,000 acres.

David and his wife of 27 years, Beth, have been frequent visitors to Lopez Island, often camping at Odlin Park while visiting all the public lands on Lopez.

“Lopez is a very special place to me and my wife with its rural life style and beautiful environment,” he said.

David and Beth will relocate to Lopez from Wenatchee, Wash. He is a graduate of Evergreen State College and likes to fish and hunt, watch birds and be in the outdoors.

ting there.”Each council member

is on more than 10 coun-ty committees. Stephens is active in the legislature; he has been in Olympia off and on for the past six weeks. Hughes’ interests are in economic development, transportation and the fer-ries. He said he speaks to Congressman Rick Larsen every other week and has improved communica-tion with Island and Skagit Counties.

Hughes recently mod-

erated the Customs com-munity meetings in Friday Harbor. After announcing its plans to move into an office space in the heart of downtown, the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol came under fire from the San Juan Community.

“It was incredibly chal-lenging and nerve wrack-ing, but I gave both sides equal time,” Hughes said of the experience.

Hughes feels it’s impor-tant to have a little fun in his new role as well.

On behalf of the county, Hughes put some of the islands’ finest produce on

the line against the pride of Colorado’s Eagle County in a winner-take-all wager on the Super Bowl.

Hughes will soon have buffalo jerky, grass-fed beef, and beverages from the Bonfire Brewing Company in his hands as a result of the Seahawks’ win. The items will be auctioned off on the courthouse steps with proceeds doing to local food banks.

While Hughes has seen a lot of progress during his year in office, there have been challenges too.

“I thought it would be easier to find ways for the

county to grow jobs,” he said. “It’s not as easy as I thought it was.”

His goals for 2014 are updating the Eastsound Subarea Plan, installing buoys in Eastsound waters, working with partners to bring Broadband to county residents and balancing the needs of the individual communities.

“It is stepping beyond my personal opinion, and rep-resenting the needs of each island,” Hughes said.

The weather can be everyone’s favor-ite topic. Get three people together and mention a snowstorm and you can start an hour of storm stories. Everyone has at least one.

John Willis and his family have been collecting weather data on Orcas for 125 years. Last January Marlyn Myers recruited several weather watchers around the island to record tempera-

tures and rainfall amounts as she and husband, Don, do every day.

John and Marlyn will reveal the data collected this past year to the Garden Club at this month’s meeting, February 19 at 10 a.m. in the Madrona Room of the Orcas Center.

John has many wonderful weather stories to recount and it will be a con-tinuation of the taste of Orcas weather

history from last January’s report. We will have solid data on the varied amounts of rainfall at different parts of the island. This is fascinating and knowing our specific planting zones will help us all know how to plant. This will be an especially enlightening meeting. For more information, see www.orcasislandgardenclub.org.

Orcas microclimates lecture with Willis

from on high with grace.Dean dedicated “Into the

West” to Bob Henigson, who recently passed away. “He touched many com-munity members’ lives,” she said.

Laslo’s next illusion featured a disappearing woman – an act that left everyone wondering, “How did he do that?”

Hildreth sang a Grace McCune original com-position of “Breathless”; McCune said she was hon-ored to play piano for the piece.

Hagen presented a meditation from the opera “Thais.” Osborn said he played with “intonation and passion.”

During the next vote counting session, second place junior talent win-ners Miette Woolworth and

Anwyn Thompson sang “Someone Like You” with Anwyn’s piano accompani-ment.

Moving on to the final round, Almost Classical played “Love the way you lie” featuring harp, violin and vocals. Judges were impressed with their three part harmonies.

Laslo then performed a Harry Houdini act from the 1920s that left the judges “speechless.”

Hildreth sang an cappella version of “Danny Boy” to an utterly silent room.

“You let the spaces have their time,” Nery com-mended her.

While the final votes were tallied, last year’s OHT win-ner Kellen Comry freestyled on the piano with his signa-ture smile and enthusiasm.

The Orcas Island Historical Society is looking for a fresh new face for its museums. They plan to select a local artist’s design to promote our local artist community.Designs must be submitted digitally by March 15. Submissions can be emailed to info@

orcasmuseum.org.The winning designer will receive a $250 cash prize. The runner-up will receive a $50 gift

certificate to a local establishment of their choosing. The winning logo will be featured on museum promotional material, including

their website and Facebook page, merchandise, newsletters and more. Winners will be announced in April.

Contact the museum for any additional questions or design instructions. Submissions forms can be picked up at the museum or printed from orcasmuseum.org.

The newly formed Doe Bay Internet Users Association presented its initial findings on Jan. 25 to a standing-room-only crowd at the Doe Bay com-munity room.

Association oard mem-ber Chris Brems gave a recap of the internet service problems facing Doe Bay residents. He explained that CenturyLink has shown very little interest in upgrad-ing its system to better serve the Doe Bay community.

“Orcas Island was a tag-along when CenturyLink purchased Qwest – to get the larger Northwest mar-ket, they had to take us,” said Brems. “We’re what is called a legacy system – old copper telephone wire technology. Because of Doe Bay’s location and limited growth, CenturyLink is not willing to invest in solving our problems.”

Chris Sutton, also a

founding board member of the association, explained the results of the group’s explorations. Using proven state-of-the-art wireless technology, a fast, stable internet service can be pro-vided to most Doe Bay area residents. When asked why CenturyLink isn’t exploring that solution, Sutton replied, “CenturyLink doesn’t do wireless.”

Feedback from those who heard the presentation was enthusiastic.

Point Lawrence resident Stu Stephens commented, “I was surprised to hear that my neighbors are hav-

ing the same Internet issues I’m experiencing. When I’ve called CenturyLink to complain, they always tell me the problem is with my equipment.”

The DBIUA group laid out an implementation plan.

“It all appears doable,” explained Sutton. “All of us will need to make a small investment in equipment, but the payoff in being able to keep in contact with the outside world, for pleasure, education and business, will be well worth it.”

To contact the associa-tion, email info@dbiua.org.

The Wooden Boat Society of the San Juan Islands is hosting a talk by John Guzzwell, renowned sailor and boat builder on Wednesday, Feb. 26 at 7 p.m. at the Orcas Senior Center.

In the early 1950s, Guzzwell built the wood-en 20-foot sloop “Trekka” in Victoria, B.C. and then sailed her out the Strait

of Juan de Fuca, and on around the world (she was the smallest boat to cir-cumnavigate at the time). During that trip he joined Miles and Beryl Smeeton for a rounding of Cape Horn aboard their 46-foot ketch “Tzu Hang.” They were pitchpoled and dismasted, but made it to Chilean coast under jury rig. Since then he has built many boats,

sailed his wooden 46-foot cutter “Treasure” several times around the Pacific, and competed in two single-handed transpacific races aboard Endangered Species, a 30-foot boat of his own design.

John, who is a former Orcas Island resident, will share his insights from a lifetime of sailing and boat-building, and will show a film that he took during the fateful trip aboard “Tzu Hang.” Admission is free, but they welcome dona-tions to cover costs and help support the Wooden Boat Society. Call Mike Douglas at 376-5881 with questions.

The Wooden Boat Society of the San Juan Islands pro-motes the restoration, use and enjoyment of wooden boats. The Wooden Boat Society of the San Juan Islands was formed in 2002 to perpetuate the craftsman-ship, artistry and knowledge of the maritime traditions through education, pub-lic display, restoration and construction, and entertain-ment.

Food and teaching are his passions, so Kyle Freeman, the middle school and high school principal, was experiencing nirvana when Paula Towne asked him to take over her Culinary Arts class last week.

“Don’t be afraid of sea-sonings,” he shouts to the 15 students in the midst of making tacos from scratch when one asks him to get a whiff of her concoction of herbs and spices.

Some are chopping let-tuces and cilantro, grat-ing cheeses, and preparing chicken, beef and veggies for fillings. Kyle wanders as he talks, checking the consistency of the masa the kids are blending for the tortillas.

“Be creative and experi-ment with tastes,” he urges, while also imparting the value of mise en place (meaning everything in its place, or setting in place) to prevent time-wasting trips for items far away that should have been nearby.

The budding chefs would check their recipe mea-sures with Kyle who would

encourage the practice of checking it twice, which was a good thing in many cases. He pointed out areas that were getting messy and con-stantly reminded them of being mindful of contami-nation and healthy food handling practices. About 10 different disciplines of study were touched upon by just making tacos.

It wasn’t long before the room began to smell deli-ciously aromatic, and it was approaching lunch time.

Soon, everything they were making would be spread out on the big table so each could create their own taco, share the joy of what they all had created, and talk about how they would do it differ-ently next time.

It was so fun to see all those kids really happy cre-ating a meal together, shar-ing it and learning from it. It’s very easy to see why Kyle loves what he does.

We spent the first week of the new year volun-teering at a recently built surgery center at Ranch Santa Fe, a large home for orphaned and abandoned children near Tegucigalpa, Honduras. I am a nurse practitioner at the Orcas Family Health Center and I did pre-operative patient histories and exams, and my husband Nick (who works part-time for the Land Bank on Orcas) worked as an interpreter, facilitating con-versations between patients and doctors.

In some ways it was a step back into a previous era in our lives. In 2002-2003, with our two children (13 and 15 at the time) we lived and worked for a year at Rancho Santa Fe, which is one of 9 orphanages in Latin America and the Caribbean run by Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos. As the medical provider at a clinic pro-viding basic health care to surrounding communities, every day Phoebe saw peo-ple suffering from operable

conditions that in a more affluent country would have been treated. But in Honduras, one of the poor-est countries in the western hemisphere, effective treat-ment is seldom an option for many people.

The surgery center is an effort to address this situa-tion. It was built and funded thanks to the efforts of a Minneapolis-area couple, an registered nurse and an orthopedic surgeon, and, like the NPH orphanages, is closely associated with the Catholic Church (though we are not). It has three well-equipped OR rooms and hosts three to four two week ‘brigades’ each year.

Volunteer surgical teams from the U.S – orthopedic, ENT, general surgery, and OBGYN – perform a vari-ety of surgeries at little cost to most patients. The rest of the year the center is staffed mainly by Hondurans (including a nurse and an orthopedic surgeon who grew up on the orphanage).

The long term vision for the center is that it function as a kind of training cen-

ter and teaching “hospital,” especially for kids raised on the orphanage and now entering medical fields, with continued input and teaching from specialists coming from the U.S..

For better or worse, medical ‘brigades’ – short-term missions bringing health care professionals from more affluent coun-tries – have become one of the main providers of health care in many underdevel-oped countries. No matter how well-intentioned, such efforts often prove to be ignorant of the context that they’re working and poor-ly integrated with existing services, and therefore not necessarily very helpful to anyone.

So it was good to par-ticipate in a brigade with a long-term vision and some cross-cultural aware-ness, providing people in need with a critical, con-crete service that’s other-wise unavailable. Because the members of the brigade were focused not only on performing surgeries but on sharing their knowledge, we learned a lot. Plus it was really wonderful to rekindle a connection with the NPH orphanage, a unique and wonderful place in its own right. But that’s another story.

The long and winding road for the county criti-cal areas ordinances is approaching a milestone, but the end is far from sight.

If the San Juan County Council follows the plan it announced at the Feb. 4 council meeting, the date that the ordinances will go into effect will be moved from March 1 to March 31.

If the CAO takes effect March 31, plans and per-mit applications filed before March 31 will be consid-ered under the laws and regulations in effect before the CAO updates were passed in 2012.

After March 31, plans and applications will be consid-ered under the new law, including the new amend-ments presently being considered and which are expected to be approved March 5.

The council will vote on Feb. 11 to move the effective date so that Bob Jarman, who has been hospitalized with a bacte-rial virus, can return to the

council to participate and vote on the package of CAO amendments now before the council.

The amendments address the order issued in September 2013 by the state Growth Management Hearings Board, which por-tions of the CAO did not comply with state law. That order followed petitions for review of the CAO by the Common Sense Alliance, Friends of the San Juans and others.

That GMHB order was itself appealed to the San Juan County Superior Court.

The public hearing on the amendments that start-ed on Feb. 4 will continue on Feb. 11, when the coun-cil will accept further public testimony and begin con-sideration of the amend-ments. Final council action is scheduled for March 5.

The council and the county prosecuting attor-ney’s office are designing the amendments now under consideration to satisfy the GMHB, which must decide if the CAO as amended is

“in compliance” with the requirements of the Growth Management Act.

The original update was enacted by the six-person council in late 2012 with an effective date in early 2013, but the three-mem-ber council elected in November 2012 extended the effective date until March 1, 2014 to allow the appeals to go forward.

The present schedule calls for the council to file its amendments with the growth board on March 19. Objections to the amend-ments must be filed with the GMHB by Apr. 2 and responses to the objections must be filed by Apr. 14. The final growth board compliance hearing is scheduled for Apr. 24, pos-sibly in Friday Harbor.

The growth board can reject the council’s amend-ments and send the CAO back to the county for fur-ther action, although that is not an expected result.

If the GMHB approves the county amendments, that decision can be appealed a second time to the San Juan County Superior Court.

Meanwhile, the first appeal of the GMHB to the San Juan County Superior Court is scheduled for a hearing on the merits on March 19, which will be followed within weeks by a decision by Judge Don Eaton.

After that decision, any party can appeal to the state Court of Appeals and then to the state Supreme Court. Final resolution may be two or three years away.

CAO approval date postponed

Lady Saints win buzzer beater After getting out to a slow and cold start

against the Cornerstone Christian Cougars, the Orcas Christian School Lady Saints regained composure and did what was nec-essary to seal the home win in an exciting thriller during the last week of January.

The Lady Saints were led by leading scorers Maddy and Eve Hance with 14 and 8 points respectively together with the aggressive, tenacious defense of Emily Toombs and Adia Dolan.

Down 25-24 in the final 20 seconds of the game, point guard Maddy Hance drove to the basket and made a contested, very difficult, shot to put the Lady Saints up 26-25.

Aggressive defense in the final seconds of the game kept the Cougars from scoring and sealed the home win.

“I told the team in the huddle that we had to give absolutely everything we had and we could win this. And we did,” said Hance.

Saints defeat Cornerstone The OCS Saints men’s basketball team

is riding a 4 game winning streak, having defeated the number three ranked Lynden Raptors 41-35 on Jan. 30 in Lynden, and then returning home to defeat the number two ranked Cornerstone Christian Cougars 47-41 Jan. 31 before a sell-out home crowd at Orcas Christian School.

“The men’s team is peaking at just the right time, poised to make a real cham-pionship run this year,” said Coach Tim Hance. “We are playing smart, controlled basketball, pushing it at the right times and controlling game tempo.”

Against the Raptors, leading scorers were Michael Harris Jr. with 14 points and Cyrus Amour with 12 points. Saints’ big men, Ryan Flint and Cyrus Amour, pulled down 9 and 8 rebounds apiece.

Against the number two ranked Cornerstone Christian Cougars, the Saints were led by leading scorer Cameron Aragon with 19 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 steals.

“Cameron was lights out on offense and defense,” Hance said.

Michael Harris Jr. contributed 14 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals. Elliott Claus was huge underneath with 8 rebounds and aggressive defense. Cyrus Amour and Ryan Flint hauled down 8 and 7 rebounds apiece in a physical battle underneath.

“It was a true team effort and defining win for our team,” Hance said. “Cornerstone Christian is a well disciplined and coached team with great physicality, the shortest player coming in at 6-foot and 2 inches.”

The Viking girls (12-5) hosted the LaConner Braves (15-4) in a home court loss 52-46 on Feb. 4.

The Vikings’ offense sput-tered in the first quarter missing passes but sticky defense kept Orcas in the game trailing 13-10 after the first quarter.

Orcas managed a 14-14 tie early in the second but could not defend the fast breaking Braves driving the paint for easy layups. Offensively the Vikings forced passes, creat-ing turnovers and leaving Orcas down 24-20 at half.

Outscored the Braves 20-10 in a monster third quarter, the Vikings pin-nacled early with stingy defense, precise shooting and pinpoint passing that produced the necessary points in the paint, charging ahead with a 40-34 at the end of the third.

But unforced errors late in the game squashed the Viking momentum as the Braves outscored Orcas 18-6, taking advantage of their ability to get the ball in low and score. Orcas scor-ing was led by Bella Nigretto with 17, Hannah Gaydos 12, Shelbi Rogers 9, Alicia Susol 6 and Kilee Rogers 2.

On Feb. 7, the Vikings girls celebrated a senior game win 74-46 against the Darrington Loggers (14-5) at Orcas High School.

The crowd honored Orcas seniors Caitlyn Holley, Nigretto, Shelbi and Susol and their parents.

Controlling the game from the tip off, Orcas defense eliminated every-thing but perimeter shoot-ing by the Loggers while the Viking offense scored from every area of the court advancing 36-18 at half. Complacency set in as the Vikings were outscored

18-14 in the third but the Vikings quickly got back on track outscoring the Loggers 24-10 in the fourth quarter to run away with a win.

Orcas scoring was led by Nigretto with 24, Shelbi 22, Gaydos 16, Susol 5, Kilee 5 and Halle Thompson 2.

Boys’ teamby JACK RUSSILLO

High school seniorAfter a weekend away

from home, the Viking boys (4-10) returned to their home court to face the (15-5) LaConner Braves, losing 66-42 on Feb. 4.

The Vikings started slow, making only three baskets in the first quarter. Entering the second quarter down 20-6, the Vikings were able to make up some of the defi-cit before half outscored the Braves 13-10.

After a slow third quar-ter, the Vikings entered the fourth quarter trailing 46-28 but turned up the heat on the Braves going basket-for-basket for most of the quarter. Although capitaliz-ing on free-throw opportu-nities and scoring 14 points in the quarter, the Vikings

fell short.Orcas scoring was led by

Jack Gates with 17, Aidan Kruze 11, Pasha Bullock 10, and Miles Harlow 4.

On Feb. 7, the boys won 58-52 against the (1-17) Darrington Loggers. Seniors Wayne Foster, Joe Kostechko and Jack Russillo were hon-ored by the Orcas crowd.

The Vikings fell behind early the first quarter, trail-ing 8-0 at one point, and finished the quarter down 15-7. But the Loggers were held to only two baskets in the second quarter while the Vikings’ offense started to produce some points, trail-ing only 24-23 at half.

Both teams came out in the third ready to play with the Vikings edging a 37-36 lead entering the fourth quarter. Late in the game it began to rain down three-pointers as Orcas sharp-shooters hit 5 three-point baskets. Exceptional offense and winning the “hustle plays” earned the Vikings the victory.

Island Livingby COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG

Editor/Publisher

Take Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 spy movie, add a dash of Monty Python and throw in some physical comedy – then you’ll have the production “The 39 Steps.”

“This is the funniest play I have ever read,” said co-director Robert Hall, who is also one of the lead actors. “There is vaudeville, burlesque and Commedia dell’arte – really a wide range of styles.”

The Tony award-winning theatrical work is at Orcas Center’s OffCenter Stage on February 13 to 15 and 20 to 22. Deborah Sparks is directing the fast-paced whodunit with Hall.

“Sparks is a force of nature,” Hall said. “I have seen some really brilliant streaks of creativity from her in this production.”

Tickets are $15 for adults, $11 for students ($2 off for Orcas Center Members) and may be purchased at www.orcascenter.org or by calling 376-2281 ext. 1.

The play is known for its outrageous antics and a zany cast of more than 40 characters.

Finding the right actors was key to the production. Sparks said that Hall, Grace McCune, Christopher Evans and

Cali Bagby embody the traits needed to pull off the play’s demands.

“A comedy that is based on physical-ity, timing and very short, clipped lines takes an amazing memory, agility, a great sense of humor and a lot of cre-ativity,” Sparks said. “Without them (the cast), we would not have considered doing this play.”

The production also features a bi-plane and puppets by Andrea Cohen, a surprise cameo and some good old-fashioned romance.

“The 39 Steps” was originally a British thriller film directed by Hitchcock. Loosely based on the 1915 novel “The Thirty-Nine Steps” by John Buchan, it is about a man named Richard Hannay in London who tries to help a counter-espionage agent prevent an organiza-tion of spies from stealing top secret information.

The play is a farce of the film and the book and pokes fun at the 1930s and British society.

Hall plays Hannay, who finds new life – and love – on his adventure. McCune is the damsel in distress and Bagby and

Evans play “clowns,” juggling around 15 characters each.

“Chris and Cali work really well together and they aren’t afraid to try things,” Hall said. “This cast is fearless and uninhibited and accessible.”

Sparks said the benefit of a small

cast is that the actors get to know each other’s personalities and their styles of working very well.

“It provides a deeper acting experi-ence,” she said. “No one scene works without the support of all.”

The Actors Theater of Orcas Island announces seven performances of the laugh-out-loud comedy “Moonlight and Magnolias” written by Ron Hutchinson and directed by Doug Bechtel at the Orcas Grange.

Loosely based on a true story, “Moonlight And Magnolias” is a portrait of the legendary movie pro-ducer David O. Selznick and his collaborators as they write the screenplay for “Gone With The Wind.”

The year is 1939 and Hollywood is abuzz. Selznick has just shut down production of “Gone With The Wind” because the screenplay just doesn't work. While fending off the

film's stars, gossip colum-nists and his own father-in-law, Selznick brings in screenwriter Ben Hecht and pulls director Victor Fleming from the set of “The Wizard of Oz.”

Summoning both to his office, he locks the doors, closes the shades, and on a diet of bananas and pea-nuts, the three men labor over five days to fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films of all time.

Join Ron Herman as David O. Selznick, John Mazzarella as Ben Hecht, Tony Lee as Victor Fleming and Gillian Smith as the beleaguered Miss

Poppenghul as they strive to write the screenplay in five days.

“Moonlight and Magnolias” opens on Friday, Feb. 21 with additional perfor-mances on February 22, 28, March 1, 7, 8 and closing night on Sunday, March 9. Performances are at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $10 and are available at Darvill's, online at www.orcasactors.com or

at the door. Some language may not be suitable for younger children. For addi-tional information, contact Doug Bechtel at 317-5601.

The following was sub-mitted by Orcas Christian School teacher Edee Kulper

In the next 19 days you have a rare opportunity. The high school students at Orcas Christian have brain-stormed and come up with some ways to use their tal-ents to earn what they need in this final push to raise $1,700 each in order to go on a mission trip to Costa Rica. Here are the services they are offering:

• Two-hour private piano concerts at your home, party, or as gifts to friends, events or organizations (Kellen Comrie)

• Basketball Camp Monday - Friday from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. during the midwinter break for boys and girls eight to 12 years old in the OCS gym taught by basketball team captains (Cyrus Amour, Michael Harris, Nick Hodges and Adia Dolan)

• Beautiful four-course upscale meals prepared in OCS’s professional kitchen

and delivered to homes or parties for you or as gifts from you to bless strug-gling, hardworking families (Maddy Hance, Michael Harris, Caitlin Fowler)

• Two-hour spinning or knitting classes or series of classes at the Warm Valley Orchard textile studio (Mara Nutt)

• Various housecleaning jobs (Caitlin Fowler)

• Commissioned piec-es of art on paper, wood, furniture, etc. (Thomas Thompson)

• Commissioned logos, graphic art and pen-and-ink drawings (Danny Hodges)

• Two-hour video inter-views documenting the thoughts and life experienc-es of the elderly or terminal-ly ill as gifts to their families (Gabi Carver-Hackett)

• Three-hour dictation and recording sessions as gifts to elderly individuals who would like their life stories documented for their families (Kelly Petro)

• Hourly writing and

dictation for your literary needs (Kelly Petro)

• A handyman’s helper or hourly labor and fix-it proj-ects that need completing on your property (Tommy Allgaier and Nick Hodges)

• Hourly babysitting for young children or mentor-ing for older children for you or as gifts to single moms, dads or working parents (Alenna Garcia)

• Pre-event baking, whether beautiful birthday cakes, muffin deliveries to people confined to their homes, or 100 cupcakes for wedding receptions (Alenna Garcia)

• 3-hour work party of 10-12 students to help the new co-op get their build-ing ready

• 2-hour companion ses-sions as gifts to converse with, read to or help some-one who is lonely or unable to leave their home

If you have other ideas, the students are also willing to accommodate spontane-ous suggestions.

What project do you have that needs finishing? Do you need an assistant in any way? Who do you know that is lonely or would appreciate a gift? Are you hosting a party soon and need some help or enter-tainment? Do you need brute manpower in the form of two to 12 strong kids? Is anyone you know struggling, sick, disabled or confined and would love help or company?

The deadline of March 3 is looming for these stu-dents and they are willing to work hard to earn the funds they need.

There is no set price for each talent – you can donate $50 or $1,000. It's up to you. Each student’s talent can be purchased multiple times by multiple people. Think of ways to “pay it forward” to someone who would be blessed by one of these ideas.

Call coordinator Edee Kulper at 376-2766 for more information.

Lopez poet J.A. Harris and visual artists Ginny Neece and Lane Langford are among the writers and artists featured the lat-est issue of SHARK REEF Literary Magazine.

The magazine’s Winter 2014 edition is online now at www.sharkreef.org.

Founded in 2001 as a venue for Lopez Island writ-ers, SHARK REEF, now in its second decade, welcomes submissions from writers and artists living wherever the internet reaches.

Editor and co-founder Lorna Reese partners with a different co-editor for prose for each issue. For the past three, she has worked with Jeremiah O’Hagan, a former teacher and now a staff reporter for a small-town weekly newspaper in Washington state. O’Hagan holds an master’s of fine art in creative writing from the Northwest Institute of Literary Arts.

In O’Hagan’s introduc-tion to the Winter issue, he writes about the basic tenet of storytelling: “If the bones are believable, you can take readers anywhere … The everyday is ripe with stories that stretch our imagination and intellect.”

The prose pieces in the issue feature a bus ride, a girl in church, a waiting room, shoplifting, a teen-ager who’s weary of her par-ents and more.

About the poetry in the issue, O’Hagan says, “Poetry is much the same; the day-to-day is a cacophony of small wonders.” The eleven poems in this issue, selected by poetry co-editors Tom Aslin and Gary Thompson, take us to someone spread-ing jam; a man who carries letters; a circle of sandwich-es and half-smoked cigars; someone sitting at a com-puter. “We enter the poems to realize that reality is a

labyrinth,” O’Hagan says. “We need a guide to help us through. We need a host of guides.”

Aslin and Thompson have served as poetry co-editors for the past two issues. Aslin studied with the late Richard Hugo, and has published a chapbook as well as a full-length collec-tion, “A Moon Over Wings,” which was a finalist for a Washington State Book Award in poetry. Thompson taught in the creative writ-ing program at California State University for over 25 years and has four col-lections of poetry, includ-ing his most recent book, “To the Archaeologist Who Finds Us.” Both Aslin and Thompson hold master’s of fine arts degrees from the University of Montana.

“We’re in our fourteenth year and it’s still exciting to see what turns up in SHARK REEF’s emailbox,” says Reese. “The quality of submissions is outstand-ing and we look forward, always, to enjoying the adventure of dipping into the work of creative people – writers and visual artists – from around the globe. We appreciate the support of our readers, too, and hope people will keep turning to SHARK REEF for good writing and visual art.”

Originally published by the Lopez Writers Guild, SHARK REEF has, for sev-eral years, been published by Lopez Island author and publisher, Iris Graville. Readers can subscribe to SHARK REEF at no cost at sharkreef.org. Updates about the publication also are posted on the maga-zine’s Facebook page (Shark Reef Literary Magazine).

SHARK REEF publishes two issues a year, one in the summer and one in winter, with submission deadlines of March 31 and September 30, respectively. The literary magazine considers solicit-ed and unsolicited material: fiction, non-fiction prose, poetry and dramatic writ-ing. It also features artwork by visual artists in each issue.

Go to sharkreef.org for submission guidelines, cur-rent offerings and archived issues.

Help reforestation in Haiti

The nonprofit Helping Hands Noramise, found-ed by islander Rosedanie Cadet, has started an Indiegogo fundraiser for a reforestation project in Limbe, Haiti.

The project involves planting fruit trees and ben-eficial plants on a barren hillside. Work started last year involving the planting of produce to be used for consuming or selling.

Cadet will be spending the next year in Haiti to help residents of Limbe work on essential projects.

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.
