Islands' Sounder, January 18, 2012

In the first phase of a plan to expand and upgrade its reserva-tion program, Washington State Ferries will launch a new vehicle reservation system this June for the Port Townsend/Coupeville and Anacortes/Sidney, B.C. routes, as well as commercial routes in the San Juan Islands.

The reservation system is sched-uled to expand in two more phas-es to the general San Juan Islands routes in 2014 and the Central Puget Sound routes in 2016, pend-ing successful implementation and funding approval.

The new system would be an improvement over the antiquated one the ferries use now, officials claim.

WSF deputy chief of operations and construction Capt. George Capacci said that the new system would make the reservation pro-cess both simple and reliable.

“You can pick the route, tell us how big the vehicle is, how many

people, and end up making that reservation,” he said. “We collect the deposit online and you pay the remainder when you show up at the terminal.”

According to Capacci, who is also the project drrector for the Vehicle Reservations Program, the new online interface is more user-friendly than the current one and requires the payment of a deposit during the registration process.

The deposit is essentially a down payment, a portion of the fare paid at the time of the reser-vation. Upon arrival at a terminal, about 30 minutes before sched-uled sailings, drivers redeem their reservations and pay the balance of their fares. The exact price of the deposit has not been finalized, but it would likely be set at the lowest possible fare at a given time in order to minimize the chance of overcharging, said Capacci.

Ferry officials believe the insti-tution of a deposit should curb no-shows, who pose the great-est problem for the current res-ervation system that calls for no advance payment.

“They’re a big problem up at Port Townsend/Coupeville because we don’t charge a deposit

When the Orcas School District joined a coalition to fight for educational funding, superintendent Barbara Kline knew it was the right thing to do.

Now the undertaking has come full circle with a ruling handed down by the state supreme court that declares the state is not complying with its constitutional duty to “make ample provision for the basic education of all children in Washington.”

“It feels really good,” Kline said. “It was huge to get that affirmed at the highest court level in the state.We made the right choice to get involved. Just the fact that we have levies means the state is not fully funding education. I was surprised that all of the school districts didn’t sign up in the beginning.”

In 2007, Orcas School and the Orcas Education Association were part of a coali-tion of districts, teachers, community groups and parents that filed a case in King County

Superior Court. McCleary v. Washington alleged that Washington had not fulfilled its constitutional obligation to fully fund basic education and relied too heavily on local levy funding assistance.

The court recognized the Legislature had enacted “a promising reform package” in its 2009 education reform bill and indicated that legislation, if funded, “will remedy deficiencies in the K-12 funding system.”

While the court deferred to the Legislature to determine how to meet its constitutional duty, it retained jurisdiction over the case to “facilitate progress in the state’s plan to fully implement the reforms by 2018.”

“The state appealed this case to the Supreme Court to receive clarification and direction to guide the Legislature in meeting its con-stitutional duty — and this decision is help-ful,” said Rob McKenna, Attorney General of Washington, in a press release. “We’re pleased the court continues to recognize the primary role of the Legislature in determining how to meet its constitutional duty and that the court recognizes the Legislature’s progress in fulfill-ing the state’s obligation in passing its 2009 education reforms.”

In February 2010, the trial judge ruled

that the state did not provide ample funding for basic education, and then directed the Legislature to conduct a study to establish the cost of providing all Washington children with a basic education and to establish how it would fully fund such education with stable and dependable state sources. The state appealed to preserve and clarify the Legislature’s author-ity and responsibility to determine how best to meet the state’s Constitutional duty to fund basic education.

The state Supreme Court rejected the lower court’s direction to the Legislature to conduct a new study establishing the cost of a basic edu-cation and similarly rejected the lower court’s direction to the Legislature to establish a new funding plan, finding that the Legislature’s implementation of recently approved edu-cation reforms satisfied the requirements to establish a plan and would meet the consti-tutional obligation to fund basic education if adequately funded.

The case was argued before the Washington State Supreme Court on June 28, 2011 by Senior Counsel Bill Clark.

A San Juan Island teen accused of deal-ing small amounts of cocaine and heroin to an informant on four separate occa-sions pleaded not guilty to four felony drug offenses Monday in San Juan County Superior Court.

He is slated to stand trial March 26.

A senior at Friday Harbor High, Christopher Faylor, 18, was taken into cus-tody Friday at the high school, at about 10:30 a.m., and charged at the time with four felonies involving the alleged sale and distribution of heroin and cocaine.

He was released without bail following Monday’s arraignment hearing, and will be under court orders and electronic home surveillance pending trial.

A San Juan resident of 15 years, Faylor was arrested following a four-month narcot-ics investigation that was initiated after local

authorities received numerous tips that the young man had been using and dealing drugs, according to sheriff Rob Nou.

“Many people throughout the commu-nity have expressed grave concern about the availability of drugs, especially hard drugs, to the youth on San Juan Island,” Nou said in a prepared statement following the arrest. “This case both validates those concerns, and is a clear illustration of the commit-ment of the sheriff ’s office to pursue and prosecute those who traffic in narcotics in our communities.”

According to prosecutors, Faylor sold $70-$100 worth of cocaine to an informant working with the sheriff ’s department on three separate occasions, beginning in early September, and sold the same informant a similar amount of heroin in a separate instance.

A Class B felony, delivery of cocaine or heroin carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $25,000 fine, or both.

Faylor has no prior criminal convictions, according to court documents.

A 77-year-old Orcas Island man died after falling 50 feet while trimming trees last Thursday.

According to the Sheriff ’s Department, Herlwyn Lutz was trimming trees on Orcas Island’s Mount Baker Road at about 2 p.m. on Jan. 12 when he fell 50 feet and suffered fatal injuries. Lutz’s assistant attempted to

revive him at the scene but was unsuccessful. Based on a preliminary investigation, authorities believe equip-ment failure is the probable cause of his fall. A memo-rial fund has been set up at Islanders Bank to assist his wife Barbara with the needs of this transition. Watch islandssounder.com for memorial information.

Wreath sale a successThe Orcas Montessori School

families would like to thank every-one who supported our holiday wreath sale. We sold 486 wreaths! We are thrilled to report that we made our goal of $6,000, which will match donations made to our Appleseed Fund scholarship pro-gram. This fund allows children from lower income families to ben-efit from all the school has to offer.

Several generous islanders and businesses deserve special acknowl-edgement. Island Hardware and Supply trucked four big pal-

lets of wreaths to Orcas. Dylan Chaput and Dusti Bivins trucked the wreaths to the storage unit, the use of which was donated by George and Sally Larson of Larson Storage. Jennifer Brennock offered the use of her cozy trailer, which made a handy “wreath headquar-ters” out in front of the school. Chris Brems designed our red ban-ner and loaned his painting tools. Island Market graciously allowed us to spend several days hawk-ing wreaths outside their doors. Marlace and Rick Hughes and the folks at Ray’s Pharmacy kindly sold our wreaths at their store. Cathy Faulkner, past parent and prior coordinator of the sale, donated countless hours of time, handling all of the shipping orders for the sale. John and Marilyn Erly dis-played our sandwich sign out in front of their house. The folks at the Sounder, Orcas Issues, and the Chamber helped spread the word about the sale.

The wonderful people of Orcas have done it again, leaving the Montessori school better able to serve the children of our commu-nity.

The Met at Orcas Center is wonderful

Kudos to Orcas Center for another amazing afternoon at the Metropolitan Opera this past Sunday!

If I had been in New York, I might have seen Faust from the orchestra (for only $222.50), but I would not have been able to see the expressions on the faces of the extraordinary singers, nor would I have heard interviews with the

cast, director and conductor dur-ing the intermissions. The perfor-mance was absolutely thrilling! And there’s more coming our way, not only the Metropolitan Opera, but the National Theater Live as well, offering the finest British the-atre. How fortunate we are to have such a rich cultural offering in our community.

Thank you, Orcas Center. Thank you, Artha Kass, Kara O’Toole and Deborah Sparks — three amaz-ing Orcas impresarios — for your vision and tireless efforts. Thank you, generous community donors to the Digital Expansion Campaign for helping the vision become a reality. And thank you to the out-standing Orcas Center staff and volunteers, as always a dedicated, enthusiastic team.

Land Bank requests community feedback

Happy New Year! As many of you know, the land bank was renewed for 12 more years in a close county-wide election this past November. Because there has been a lot of community discussion over the past several months we, as the two Orcas Island Land Bank Commissioners, had the opportu-nity to gain some important insight about our fellow islanders and their perspectives about the land bank and its process. While the program received voter approval, it is appar-ent we can make improvements. We haven’t been communicating with the community as well as we could and some people feel they are left out of the process. At the Land

Editorial

Hats off to the Land Bank Commission and the Renew Our Land Bank committee.

They made their pitch, stood their ground, took the heat and weathered the storm. Now they want to hear from you.

It might have been understandable if either had been content to proceed with business as usual, given that voters opted, in the end, to renew the Land Bank’s principal funding source for another 12 years, through 2026.

That 1 percent tax on local real estate sales, paid by the buyer, will generate more than $1 million a year even when transac-tion numbers are modest, like in 2010. It’s produced as much as $3 million in years when the market has been hot. That’s a lot of ammunition to work with.

Still, neither group appears to be content with letting a narrow victory at the polls pass by, not without trying to understand the slump in support for one of the islands’ more popular institutions. Prop. 1 passed with 52.8 percent of the vote, which means 3,726 voters, 47.2 percent, cast a ballot against it.

The commission has thrown out the welcome mat with the hope of hearing from those who voted against renewal of the REET. Local commissioners have even gone so far as to provide the public with their email addresses (See the letters on this page). That’s an invitation that islanders — pro or con — should accept.

Orcas Island commissioners Lance Evans and Lisa Wolford can be reached at [email protected] or [email protected].

The commission meets at least once a month; meetings are listed in the “Public Meetings” section of the Sounder. The next meeting is Friday, Jan. 20 at 8:30 p.m. in the Mullis Community Center, Friday Harbor.

Vigorous debate is not always pretty, particularly at election time, but it can help clear the air and it often becomes a catalyst for reconciliation and change.

January. The Legislature convened on Jan. 9 and faces a roughly $2 billion shortfall.

Kline, along with school board members Tony Ghazel, Chris Sutton, Janet Brownell and Scott Lancaster, met with Senator Kevin Ranker and Rep. Jeff Morris last week to discuss the court’s decision.

“We have good elected officials,” Kline said. “In some ways, it’s really nice to talk to people who share the same values with educa-tion … I am really happy we have board members who are committed enough to go down to Olympia for sev-eral days.”

Kline says it is far too early to tell what the impact of the court’s decision will be.

“There are a lot of dif-ferent ideas floating around but they aren’t close to any decisions,” she said. “There has been speculation that this may be the impetus that the state legislature needs to put a new tax before the voters.”

on our reservation,” said Susan Harris, WSF senior programs manager of cus-tomer communications.

Harris said that since the WSF began taking reservations for the Port Townsend/Coupeville route in May 2008, there have been significantly more no-shows than on the route to Canada, which requires a deposit.

“A deposit ensures com-pliance,” Capacci said. “If you have some skin in the game, you are more likely to show up for your res-ervation, which increases our predictability and [the customer’s] flexibility and predictability.”

Port Townsend resident and ferry rider Mary Obee said that the reservation system so far has been “just a dream.”

The reservation system is part of the state’s plan to make Washington State Ferries a more cost-effective entity.

The vehicle reservation system manages demand cheaply and saves the state a projected $280 million, WSF officials said. WSF officials had previously thought it would need hefty funding to expand termi-nals and build new hold-ing areas to meet future demand. Instead, they have turned to a demand-man-agement model intended to streamline the ferry-riding process.

“We have taken the phi-losophy here at Washington State Ferries to change from an asset management plan – build bigger boats, build bigger ships, build bigger terminals to put as many passengers on the vessels as possible,” Capacci said. “That’s not possible in today’s world. I can’t just build bigger ships, you can’t build bigger docks to put more cars on. So what you have to do is manage the demand.”

The Legislature has allo-cated $5,851,000 for the first phase and Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen (D-10th District), chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, said she is optimistic about

the reservation system suc-ceeding. She predicts rid-ership would increase if people know they won’t be stuck in hours-long lines.

“I think that the reserva-tion system will help pay for itself,” said the sena-tor, whose district includes Whidbey Island ferry ter-minals at Coupeville and Clinton. “We found money to do this first phase and we’re going to work real hard to find the money for the next phases too. We feel it’s a very integral part of improving this system.”

New fare payment structure

A study to determine fare payment and processing options for Washington State Ferries patrons was unveiled during the Washington State Legislature’s Joint Transportation Committee members Jan. 4.

The study recommends that the ferry system replace its current prepaid Wave2Go payment option with an account-based sys-tem where patrons would be able to use different pay-ment options through Good To Go! and One Regional Card for All (ORCA) cards.

Good To Go! is currently not offered by the ferry sys-tem as a payment option. It is an electronic tolling sys-tem currently being imple-mented on Washington’s SR 520 Bridge, the SR 167 HOT Lanes and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

Drivers with Good To Go! have a prepaid account, and when they drive through a tolled facility, an electronic device scans their Good To Go! pass and the toll is auto-matically deducted.

ORCA cards can be used on ferries, trains, rails or buses. ORCA card hold-ers can add value to their cards by phone or online and when they commute, they scan their ORCA cards at card readers or turnstiles and the fare is deducted from their account.

Kathy Scanlan of the Cedar River Group, who helped conduct the study that began last August, said the account-based system would merge with the ferry

reservation system by 2018, if the recommendation is accepted.

The reservation system would be first implement-ed on the Port Townsend-Coupeville and Anacortes-San Juan-Sidney routes. If the system is successful on those routes, and the leg-islature approves funding for expansion for 2014 and 2016, the reservation system would expand to most of the other routes, excluding the Southworth-Vashon-Fauntleroy, Mukilteo-Clinton and Point Defiance-Tahlequah routes. The study determined these routes could not support a reser-vation system, but would allow use of the GoodToGo! pass structure.

Before the account-based system is implemented, the study recommends that the ferry system create an inter-face that allows the ORCA and the Wave2Go systems to work integrate.

According to the study, the cost of integrating the two systems is $300,000.

The study also recom-mends that the ferry sys-tem allow the Good To Go! pass on the ferries. The cost of implementing Good To Go! as a payment method, according to the study, is $2.2 million.

The Joint Transportation Committee has yet to accept the recommendations.

On the Feb. 14 special election ballot the Lopez Island School District will seek voter approval to issue bonds in order to repay a $1 million credit line it obtained in October 2009 to address two critical facil-ity issues. In the fall of 2009 the district established a line of credit with Cashmere Valley Bank to obtain funds for the emergency replace-ment of a failed fire sup-pressant sprinkler system at Lopez Elementary School and to continue work on the upgrade of the heating and ventilation (HVAC) system.

Both issues demanded prompt attention. When the existing system failed,

fire department officials deemed the elementary school building unsafe for use, requiring immediate replacement. Other fund-ing sources were consid-ered, but not found viable. The line of credit is due for repayment in December 2012.

The annual cost to dis-trict taxpayers for the bond measure is approximately seven cents per $1000 of assessed property value, or $21 per year on a $300,000 home and $35 on a $500,000 home. The bond repayment period is projected to be 15 years.

The district is also faced with facility and education-al needs and will likely seek more voter-approved bond funding in the near future.

“We want to be very clear and straight up with our voters and get this line of credit dealt with, without the potential confusion of multiple projects,” Evans said.

Carol TullyCarol Joy Blaney Tully

was born to Anton and Joy Hookanson on June 26, 1930 in Los Angeles, California.

Camping and hiking in Yosemite with her mother and father as she grew up gave Carol a fondness for travel and adventure. She also studied piano and vio-lin, becoming an accom-plished musician on both instruments. Her love of music would remain with her throughout her life. Carol learned the details of business from working at the commercial laundry managed by her father.

As a child Carol delight-ed in dance. She ballroom danced her way throughout high school, on into col-lege, and for many happy

years thereafter. It was in high school dance lessons that she met and danced with the first love of her life, George Blaney. Later in Carol’s first year at UCLA, she was stunned to find that the dashing and one-year younger George was a care-taker and cook at the UCLA Masonic Club where she attended dances and din-ners.

Carol and George were married in August of 1952 in Santa Monica, California.

Carol and George were blessed with two sons, Roger in 1957 and Jeff in 1959. Carol was a devout and active member of the St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Whittier, California, St. Columba’s Episcopal Mission in Big Bear, California and Emmanuel Parish Episcopal Church of Orcas Island, Washington.

Carol was a very busy mother and homemaker from July 1957 to 1976 as she served not only her church in many executive

positions, but the boys’ school PTAs, the Whittier Panhellenic Association and also as Elections Board Inspector for many years.

Another of Carol’s great loves was singing, and her crystal-clear and power-ful soprano voice was a welcome addition to her church choirs. She was a skillful violinist and enjoyed her years of rehearsing and concert performance with her beloved Island Sinfonia friends.

Carol received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from UCLA in 1952. She worked as a Speech Therapist, and in 1976 returned to work full time as Office Manager at Olson Electronics in Whittier. In 1977 Carol moved to take the first of many positions, from Membership Officer to Assistant Treasurer at Courts and Records Federal Credit Union in Los Angeles.

Carol lost her George in a tragic automobile accident in 1982. It was later at the credit union that Carol met the witty and charming Bob Tully. Carol and Bob mar-ried and enjoyed camping, dancing and travelling until his passing in 2009.

Carol and George brought sons Roger and Jeff to Orcas Island and camped in Moran State Park many times over the years, starting in the 1970s while the boys were growing up. Carol and Bob’s

choice to settle on Orcas Island was “meant to be,” as Carol said often. They were enchanted with the beau-ty and peacefulness, and fond of their great view of Cascade Bay and the neigh-boring islands. They took great interest in their com-munity and experienced much joy in the camara-derie of good friends and neighbors.

A memorial service is to be held at Emmanuel Episcopal Parish Church on Orcas Island on Jan. 20, 2012 at 1 p.m. Carol’s fam-ily hopes that her many friends from Orcas Island and beyond will be in atten-dance.

Carol is survived by her son Roger Blaney and his wife Carolyn Jacobs and their sons Bryce and Evan; son Jeff Blaney and his partner Amy Foldesi; stepdaughter Mary Tully Gabrielson, stepdaughter Alice Tully Pirtle and her husband Randy, and their two children Laura and Bryan.

In lieu of flowers, dona-tions may be made in Carol’s name to Emmanuel Episcopal Church of Orcas Island, and the family in particular would like to request donations of the gift of blood in Carol’s name, in deep gratitude for the life-giving possibilities that oth-ers gave Carol during the final stages of her leukemia.

Submitted by Carol Tully’s family.

Island LivingSuperstar

Do you have what it takes to be the next big winner of Orcas Has Talent?

Orcas entertainers are gearing up for the annual extravaganza known as “Orcas Has Talent.”

“I have a feeling that this year the production level will go way up,” said orga-nizer Donna Laslo. “I’ve heard rumors about fog machines and lights. I think contestants are upping the ante.”

Now in its seventh year, Orcas Has Talent is a chance for local acts to compete for a grand prize of $500. Originally called Orcas Idol, the event was strictly for singers. Last year, Laslo changed the name and the format, allow-ing a diverse range of performers to make their bid. The evolution was met with overwhelming support, according to votes cast by last year’s audience mem-bers.

All net proceeds from the event go to the Orcas Island Prevention Partnership, which is a community coalition com-prised of individuals, groups and business organizations dedicat-ed to keeping the Orcas Island community safe and healthy.

Returning judges are dancer Susan Babcock, musician Joe Babcock and musician/singer Anita Orne. New to the table is Bob Shipstad, who has been a producer and director for more than 40 years. His cred-its include projects with Radio City Music Hall, Madison Square Garden, Jim Henson’s productions, Children’s Television Workshop, ABC, NBC, and CBS.

“I am honored to be part of Orcas Has Talent and believe, like American Idol and America’s Got Talent, many talented individu-als of all ages are afforded a chance to shine, get more involved in the performing arts and maybe even launch a career,” Shipstad said.

How it worksAuditions for the 15 adult contestants are at

the Grange on Saturday, Jan. 21 at 7:30 p.m. The competition is open to singers, musi-cians, dancers, comedians, magicians, and

talent of all kinds, from high school students to adults. They signed up in December. The judges will award the top eight acts a “Golden Ticket” to compete at the Finale Show on Feb. 4, where they hope to win the votes of audi-ence members and take home a grand prize of $500. Tickets for the audition show are $10;

doors open at 7 p.m.That same day, the Orcas

Has Talent, Jr. competition is open to youth grades five to eight and will be held at 2 p.m. The judges will select the top junior talent and the winner will have the choice to either perform for the finale show or go up against the adults during the finale event. Tickets are $5; doors open at 1:30 p.m.

The big finaleThe finale show is at Orcas

Center on Feb. 4 starting at 6:30 p.m. General admission tick-ets will be on sale at Darvill’s Books starting Jan. 23. Adults are $25, youth $15 (ages 12 and under). Tickets for general seating often sell out, so live

streaming video will once again be offered in the Madrona Room. For questions, email [email protected].

The four judges will lend their insight into every act, but it’s up to the audience to vote for the winner.

Last year’s winners, dance partners Laura Ludwig and Charles Dalton, both say the experience was confidence-boosting.

“I was able to once again experience intense days of choreography, rehearsals and danc-ing – days full of doing what I love with a dedicated and inspired partner!” Ludwig said. “Performing for our community and their enthusiastic cheers felt so wonderful, and winning was like the cherry on top. All of this love and support gave me just the extra bit of confidence I needed to start teaching my own dance classes and spreading the uninhibited joy I feel, making dance, with others.”

CALENDAR

Salish Sea Music Fest

by MADIE MURRAYSpecial to the Sounder

The Odd Fellows describe themselves as a brotherhood of guys who work together to do good in the commu-nity.

At a recent meeting of the Odd Fellows, they were

talking about how they had seen a shift in the commu-nity toward greater needs. They wanted to find a way to gift food items to the Orcas Island Food Bank, and the idea of holding a benefit dance took hold “as a way to distribute our wealth to help other people,” says Ezekiel Barr, dance organizer and 11-year Odd Fellows mem-ber. When they mentioned this to the Oddesses, a group of women who meet at the Odd Fellows Hall, the women said, “We’d love to dance to the old songs we all know and love from the fif-ties, sixties and seventies.”

And who better could bring those songs to the party than the incompara-ble Bruce Pavitt?

They coined the name “Soul Funk” based on Soul

Funk and Rock ‘n’ Roll music, and this dance of all dances will be held on Saturday, Jan. 21 at Odd Fellows Hall from 8 to 11 p.m.

Admission is $5, or four or more cans of food, all for donation to the food bank.

“The food bank is one of the most important nonprofits on our island in regard to being able to keep food on the table for so many island families try-ing to make it through these hard times,” said Ezekiel.

The Orcas Food Bank was able to provide Christmas and Thanksgiving meals to a total of 260 families this year, and it consistently pro-vides grocery items twice a week at the new building on Madrona Street.

The tradition of boy choirs is rich throughout the world with such famous choirs as the Vienna Boys Choir.

The Orcas Boy Choir is having its first rehearsal on Monday, Jan. 23 from

3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in Martin Lund’s music room at the public school. The choir is open to all boys ages 6 to 12 regardless of singing ability, and all are encouraged to come to this first meeting and discover the excitement of singing together.

The group will be led by Mary WillAllen, a profes-sional musician from San Juan Island. WillAllen has a master’s degree in music. She has experience teaching music as well as conduct-

ing numerous choirs. The group also has the support of Angel Michaels and the Islands A Cappella group.

The first session will run Jan. 23 to April 2 with no rehearsal when the school is closed for public holi-days. The cost is $50 for the 10-week session; partial scholarships may be avail-able for those in need.

For more information, contact Mary WillAllen at 378-2387 or Rachel Bishop 376-5003.

Winter classes for all

by MEREDITH M. GRIFFITHStaff reporter

This winter adults can learn blacksmithing from Jorgen Harle – just one option on a tantaliz-ing menu of classes The Funhouse Commons has unrolled for kids and adults in the coming months.

“I just cater the class to what the people want to do,” said Harle. “If you get a bunch of little kids in the class they all want to make knives.”

In Harle’s basic forging, everyone walks away with a finished product, typically practical objects like coat hooks, candle holders, or fire pokers.

Other classes include an eight-week adult improv theatre class by Samara Shaw; toddler Music Together with Mary Giampietro; and record-ing studio with Armando Nunes. In Website Rescue, SeaDoc Society communi-cations director Joe Thoron will show business owners how to make websites easy and inviting for customers.

Other standard staples include guidance in parental control of internet safety for kids, how to use Photoshop, iPhoto skills and Mac 101.

Kids can keep busy with the Gnarly Gnight Runners club, “Ducks” rec basket-ball in the Orcas Christian School gym, or toddler playgroup. Some classes have already started or will begin soon; for a full sched-ule, visit www.http://goo.gl/qXXBD or call 376-7177.
