The Lady Vikings softball team traveled to Yakima over Memorial Day weekend to compete in the 2B Bi-District Tournament.

After heavy rains cancelled the games on Friday, the girls took on the Dayton Bulldogs on Saturday morning in the Gateway Sports Complex. Orcas lost the game 5-2.

Aliviah Garcia hit a double in the bottom of the fifth inning to bring in Emma Minnis, who hit a double before that, scoring the team’s first run. The game was 5-1 at that point. In the bottom of the seventh, Shelbi Rogers hit a single and then Lana Bronn hit a single that brought Rogers in to home.

The Vikings loaded the bases but Dayton got them on three outs and no other runs came in. Pitcher Garcia had 10 strike-outs.

“Dayton went on to do pretty well in the tournament – they are good team,” said Coach Scott Harris. “They took advantage of some of our errors.”

In the afternoon, they took on the Adna Pirates, losing 8-2.

Overall, the girls hit the ball well. Harris says Most Valuable Player goes to Bronn for her incredible throws. She also had a double and an RBI. Garcia went two for three with a double; Alicia Susol went two for three with an RBI; Katie Holley also went two

for three; and Kirsten Fowler had a double.

“We hung tough and we had our moments,” Harris said. “We started off with errors right out of the gate and then it settled down. To Adna’s credit, they came out hitting the ball hard. We had to

adjust to the power of their bat. Once we got used to that, we played a pretty sound game.”

The team then headed back to Orcas, just in time for prom on Sunday. The tournament marked the final games for seniors Garcia, Bronn, Fowler and Jessi Gudgell.

Like pieces for a gigantic erec-tor set, thousands of steel beams, connectors, supports and fasten-ers have already arrived and are being assembled into a temporary bridge. The structure will replace the collapsed I-5 bridge over the Skagit River in Mount Vernon.

According to Bill Killeen, presi-dent of Acrow Corporation of America, the manufacturer of the bridge, about 20 truckloads of the silvery-gray hot-dipped galva-nized steel were on site or on the way to Mount Vernon last week. Acrow construction specialists from Tampa, Fla., Vancouver, B.C. and Camas, Wash., were also en route.

“We’ve built thousands of bridges around the world over

the past 60 years, many of them under emergency conditions,” said Killeen, who noted that he personally worked with an Acrow Bridge team rebuilding more than 60 bridges around Mount St. Helens, in the aftermath of the 1980 eruption.

The northern section of the bridge fell into the Skagit River, May 23, when a southbound Mullen Trucking Company truck hauling a large container for mining equipment clipped one or more load-bearing supporting struts as it crossed the bridge. The over-height truck was accompa-nied by a pilot car with a vertical measuring pole which, accord-ing to witnesses, also struck the bridge in front of the truck fol-lowing behind. The company is still investigating the incident.

Three people were rescued from two vehicles that plunged into the water along with the bridge. All three were unharmed and released from local hospitals.

Killeen said his company start-ed loading trucks at marshaling yards near Acrow’s Parsippany,

Every year the Experimental Aircraft Association on Orcas pro-

vides young people a chance to take to the skies with an experienced local pilot, as

part of the Young Eagles Program developed to get more young people inter-ested in flying.

The rides will be con-ducted between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 8 and those interested should come to the Port of Orcas Airport Biplane Hangar.

Seven local pilots donate their time to taking between 40 and 70 participants up in their personal planes. They may explain to each par-ticipant, between the ages of eight and 17, what will happen during the flight including info about the airplane, maps and charts, a preflight inspection and identifying the parts that control the airplane. Most flights last 30 minutes.

Food Masters launched its newest program, the Orcas Island Seed Library, to the public last week.

The new self-service seed exchange is located in the foyer of the Orcas Island Public Library. It seeks to empower Orcas Island to be a resilient seed stewardship community.

The project aims to make a diverse variety of open source seed available to the public to promote knowl-edge of seed saving practice and importance through outreach and education.

The Orcas Island Seed

Library contains seeds for the community to share and grow. Like a regular library, the seeds borrowed must be returned. The library is set up for people to check out seeds they are interested in growing, learn seed sav-ing techniques and return a portion of the saved seed to the library for others to use. This process will help the Orcas Island community to develop a free and reliable local seed source.

“The seed library sup-ports independence and cooperation among garden-ers and seed savers,” said

Food Masters Director, Learner Limbach. “Access to locally adapted and open-source seed is incredibly important in creating a sus-tainable local food system. The seed library plays an important role by providing an easy way for people to save and share seed, which over time will create seed that is better suited to local growing conditions.”

The seed library is open for self-service use dur-ing regular public library hours: Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 3 p.m.

The seed library launch was made possible by vol-unteers, donations and a grant from the Orcas Island Garden Club.

The Orcas Island Senior Center has a handsome new van to transport members.

This $60,085 Chevrolet Aerolite mini-bus, which is ADA certified, carries eight passengers, and has a lift for wheelchairs as well as two wheelchair stations.

Decals on the white exte-rior identify the van as a senior center vehicle. The interior is gray and mauve.

The center acquired the van with a Washington State Department of Transportation grant and a 20 percent matching con-tribution from the estate of Karin Hart-Fuhring and John Fuhring.

Van service for seniors who have no other way to get to the center’s twice-weekly lunches is free. Off-island van trips for recre-ational activities sponsored by the Senior Center and for doctor appointments in Anacortes, Mount Vernon, Bellingham, and Seattle involve a small fee.

Members make van res-ervations by calling the senior center in advance: 376-2677.

On May 30, Marla Johns,

the center's services coordi-nator, sent this email to the center's advisory commit-tee members:

“I just returned to the office after picking up our new van. I was welcomed

by a group of seniors who promptly loaded up and took it for a spin. It is a beautiful rig and will fit our island’s needs wonderfully. I urge you all to come take a look at it.”

Orcas Library is hosting its first annual Health and Wellness Week from June 10 to 15. There will be a wealth of offerings from practitioners in Eastsound and beyond.

“This will be your opportunity to try out a new fitness class, learn about active aging, plan your retirement, or attend a cooking demonstration – all at no charge,” say organizers.

This year the program is focusing on mid-life adults (a.k.a. Baby Boomers) and how they can take control of the aging process by keeping their minds and bodies active. But by no means are the presentations limited to any age group – all are welcome.

Health and Wellness Week 2013 is a joint presentation of the Friends of the Orcas Island Library and Transforming Life After 50, an initiative designed to help libraries better serve and engage mid-life adults. Stop by Orcas Island Library or visit www.orcaslibrary.org for a complete schedule of events. There is no cost to participate, but some events have a limited number of spaces. Call 376-4985 with questions or to sign up.

Shane M. FosterShane M. Foster “Shooter”

age 44, passed away unex-pectedly on May 21, 2013 in an automobile accident.

Shane enjoyed fishing, hunting and spending time with his family. From an early age Shane enjoyed playing with Tonka Trucks, as an adult he would go on to have the vision and the talent to create a place you could call home. Shane met and married Sonja Landers in Mountain Home; togeth-er they had one son Wayne M. Foster, of Orcas Island, Wash. Shane leaves an empty place in all our hearts and will be deeply missed by

his mother Paula K. and her husband John Ferbrache, father Wayne L. and his wife Luanne Foster, Luanne’s children Jason and Danielle, sister Bonita Foster and brother Arden Foster and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins plus many friends and co-workers that he touched in his life.

In honor of Shane’s wish-es he was cremated and a celebration of life will be held at the American Legion Hall, Orcas Island, Wash. on June 14 at 5 p.m. A second celebration of life will be held in Prairie, Idaho. That date is to be determined. Cremation was under the direction of Rost Funeral Home, McMurtrey Chapel in Mountain Home.

Donations in Shane’s memory can be made to Wayne L. Foster, 34 West Beach Rd, Eastsound, WA 98245. The donations will be used towards Shane’s son’s education.

The scope of the Orcas Island Community Foundation is far-reaching – and it’s all because of the generosity of islanders.From animals and kids to science and the arts, a wide variety of

nonpro� ts bene� t from OICF grant money.This year, the organization gave $130,000, the highest amount to date. The increase in funds is due to an increase in donations. There were 58 Partners in Philanthropy who gave to speci� c projects, which is up from 28 partners in 2012. They gave $99,710, which is a signi� cant upswing from the $69,000 given the year before.

Islanders contributed everything from $10 to $23,000. Having the grant catalog online – com-plete with photos and descriptions – was a factor in the higher numbers. But we at the Sounder think it’s much more than that. We believe a strong sense of responsibility

compels islanders to support causes they � nd critical to the health of our communities.We are so appreciative of those who were able to give. OICF is an incredible asset and we’ve loved to watch it grow over the years. Thank you for donating, thank you for caring. Thank you for keeping our nonpro� ts alive and well.

The value of a strong community

Support for BroadbandHaving just participated in the

multi-agency, emergency drill held in Deer Harbor on May 18, I now see a new and important reason to support OPALCO’s broadband initiative. Hither to I thought the main problem was that I am paying Centurylink for a service they do not deliver. I pay for 10 Megabytes per second, yet have never received more than 3 mbps, and most often receive between .5 and 1.5 mbps.

After this week’s emergency drill, where both cell phone and radio communications were hampered by lack of modern infrastructure as well as the island’s challeng-ing geography, I now realize the broadband initiative is not about my ability to stream videos, but rather about improving all sorts of communications in the islands, including the ones we rely on most in emergencies. The proposal for the OPALCO broadband initiative states:

“OPALCO has developed a plan to build a new telecommunications infrastructure that would support improvements to our electric sys-tem, provide public safety benefits including better radio communica-tions, provide cellular companies an easier way to expand cellular phone service locally, and deliver modern, upgradable broadband services: both home telephone and high-speed Internet services.”

I now believe the broadband ini-tiative is an urgent matter of pub-lic safety for San Juan County. I hope lots of islanders will go to the OPALCO website and sign up.

Public works is not managing project well

A few weeks ago I called Frank Mulcahy, your head of the Public Works Department, to express my concern and outrage over the sur-face being torn off of the Mt. Baker and North Beach Road interchange weeks before necessary. I also pub-lished a letter to the editor about it. From the many “thank yous” I received from my fellow Orcas residents, I appeared to be dead-on with my comments. It seems that most people do not want to stick

their neck out and publicly com-ment on issues that affect them. I have never had a business relation-ship with your chosen contrac-tor so I had nothing to lose. Mr. Mulcahy suggested that I call his man on Orcas. I told him that if his man on Orcas had been doing his job my call would not have been necessary. I think the contractor took some mitigation measures to hold down the dust a few weeks ago and the recent rain has made watering unnecessary. However the areas in question now are massively pot-holed – not as bad as a third world country but for Orcas Island, one of the rich-est areas in the state, this is noth-ing less than a “Shonda.” That is Yiddish for DISGRACE. The head of public works on Orcas should be immediately terminated. This individual appears to be unable to do the job effectively. As a tax payer I find abhorrent the idea of filling openings with people unable to do the job.

On a different note I was some-what bemused at the county’s feel good offer to help the state over the bridge collapse. Why don’t you get our own house in order before making feel good gestures? Potholes on one of the busiest corners on Orcas reflect on you directly. If you can’t facilitate a rea-sonable level of competency from your staff then maybe you should all resign and we will try again.

Remember President Truman’s famous plaque: The Buck Stops Here. You wanted it, now show us what you’ve got. Firing the road guy on Orcas would set a good tone and show staff that professional execution of their job is manda-tory. Please, no more touchy-feely

overtures out of county. You have plenty of fish to fry here.

Twenty-three years of pet parade fun

Once again, Kaleidoscope’s Pet Parade was a big success! Cloudy skies couldn’t keep our commu-nity’s parade spirit down … 40 kid groups and 25 adult groups moseyed through the streets of Eastsound with a variety of pets, smiling, waving, barking and quacking. Special thanks to Pawki’s who stepped forward to take pho-tos and sponsor the best adult cate-gory (a $50 gift card to their store). It was won by Mack, a rescue dog who has survived two gunshots. The other category winners all went home with ribbons, trophies, Pawki’s goodies and smiles. Thanks go to our volunteer judges who took their responsibilities seriously (but not too seriously!) and made sure all entries “fit” into a category, which isn’t always easy-we appreci-ate their thoughtfulness.

This parade experience is made possible by our generous local businesses: Island Hardware and Supply, Islanders Bank, San Juan Builders Association, Island Market, Dr. Steven Bailey, Dr. Brenda Ivans, Orcas Veterinary Service, Ray’s Pharmacy, Realtors of Windermere, Kiwanis Club of Orcas Island, VanderYacht Propane, Orcas Excavators, Island Excavating, Orcas Family Health Center, The Wareham Family, Evan’s Farm & Nursery, Orcas Island Family Medicine, Orcas

Thanks from OIEFHard-working volun-

teers and students pulled together for the Education Foundation’s “Food for

Thought” event and created a truly fantastic evening at Four Winds Camp on Saturday, May 25.

Remarks like, “You really know how to throw a great party!” to “That was the most fun evening we’ve had at a fundraiser” were uttered by guests, stuffed with out-standing food, proudly car-rying off their highly sought after silent and live auction winnings – most of which were created by students. There were a few “pop-up” auction items, including a musical evening with Cory Wiscomb and Rob Eagle and a dinner for 10 cooked by Senator Kevin Ranker that came about at the last minute and added to excite-ment generated by the other fantastic live auction items.

A record crowd of 150 people helped to raise more than $25,000 that will go toward supporting impor-

tant school programs.The OIEF board wishes

to offer a heartfelt thanks to all who volunteered, attended and contributed so generously to the Food for Thought Benefit. We are very happy the weather cooperated and everyone had a great time while help-ing to support our public school kids.

Big ideas are already in the works for next year!

CONGRATULATIONS, GRADUATES!

In the May 29 edition, the story “Inside look at mental health in SJC” incorrectly referenced Medicare instead of Medicaid. Also the 24-hour crisis number in that article is no longer valid. The correct number is 1-800-584-3578.

In the story “Change is in the air,” the correct salary for the county manager is $120,000.

bining diverse energies and ways of working and being.

I, and many others, were fairly flabbergasted at the truly talented and creative artists, generous donors, and thoughtful and caring community members who participated in the Ferry Ticket Fundraiser, aka Bizarre Brassiere Bazaar. It was a tremendous suc-cess and we have created an annual event (and maybe a calendar?) to feed the fund.

We are still sorting out final details with Orcas Family Connections Resource Center to estab-lish eligibility and distribu-

tion of tickets. There are upcoming events and con-tinuing funding. We will be sharing information on shortly.

Thank you all for your love and support and your incredible generosity. It is beautiful and slightly over-whelming – in a very good way! For more information: [email protected] or orcasmedicaltransportsup-port.weebly.com

May 15: About 80 gallons of gasoline disappeared from an outdoor storage tank in an apparent theft on the prop-erty of an Orcas Island home. The thief or thieves, who cut through a lock on the stor-age tank to get at the fuel, reportedly left behind a plastic gas container and a section of green garden hose, presumably used to siphon the stolen gas, which, at 80 gallons, is valued at $344.

May 20: A late-night alter-cation between Lopez Island brothers prompted the arrest of the younger of the two on charges of misdemeanor assault and DUI. The elder claims his 29-year-old sibling tore the turn signal off his car and then punched him in the face before driving away from his Mud Bay Road home at about 11 p.m. The younger brother was allegedly intoxi-cated when he drove back to the home a short time later, where an officer was at the scene taking a statement from the elder brother at the time.

May 22: A Lopez Island man was taken to the medi-cal center for treatment but avoided criminal charges after he was found lying uncon-scious in the 300 block of Burt Road in mid-afternoon. The 43-year-old reportedly passed out on the roadway while try-ing to change a tire; his blood-alcohol-level was nearly three times the legal limit about two hours after an officer arrived at the scene. The man was not charged with an alcohol-related offense because he was neither driving nor behind the wheel when the officer arrived at about 2:30 p.m. His vehicle, partially blocking the road at the time, was towed away.

May 24: A plastic bag con-taining methamphetamine was confiscated as potential evi-dence after it was discovered in a women's bathroom on the second floor of the county courthouse in mid-afternoon. The bag, which was found by a district court employee, reportedly has a smiley face and design of a yellow sun on it.

N.J., headquarters and at rented storage near Camas, Wash., less than 24 hours after the collapse. The trucks were dispatched immediately after contracts were signed, some with tan-dem crews driving day and night.

The two side-by-side temporary bridges will be assembled from “several thousand pre-fabricated modular pieces.” Each bridge will measure 24 feet by 160 feet and weigh about 400,000 pounds when they are rolled into place from the still-standing south sec-tion of the bridge where

the final assembly will take place. Crews from Atkinson Construction and several subcontractors are already working around the clock to assemble the two bridges. Both Acrow and Atkinson confirmed that the target for completion of the tem-porary project is mid-June - a timetable several weeks sooner than first estimated by state officials.

Total cost of the tem-porary and permanent bridges was estimated last week at $15 million, almost all from federal transpor-tation funds. One million dollars was released almost immediately by federal offi-cials, according published reports.

The temporary bridges will each carry two lanes of traffic northbound and southbound and are designed to carry fully loaded I-5 trucks, although a Washington Department of Transportation spokes-man said that DOT would probably limit trucks to less than 80,000 pounds maximum weight and keep speed limits below the pres-ent 60 miles-per-hour.

Still-standing parts of the bridge and support-ing foundations have been inspected and cleared for use by a team of state and federal bridge inspectors and engineers.

DOT engineers are already at work assem-bling information and specifications to be used in designing the permanent replacement bridge. Travis Phelps of the Department of Transportation estimates that design options will be chosen in July followed by a competitive bidding process. Construction is expected to begin in August in the river next to the tem-porary structure.

Sometime in September, crews will remove the tem-porary bridges and move the new bridge into place from the side. Interstate 5 is expected to be closed for about two weeks in September during final construction.

If you like a diverse range of music and you like to dance, you won’t want to miss the debut of new Orcas resident “DJ Guskid.” He will be spinning funk, soul, reggae hip hop and salsa at The Odd Fellows Hall on Saturday, June 8.

According to dance pro-ducer Ezekiel Barr, Guskid, (Gustavo Santos) has been a head-lining DJ for several years up and down the west coast.

“He has an incred-ibly smooth technique with turntables,” Barr said. “He also has a great feel for crowds, and knows how to keep them moving. I am excited to introduce him to the community.”

The dance is also a ben-efit for the Exchange. All the funds collected, after expenses, will go to the Exchange Phoenix fund at the Orcas Island Community Foundation.

“We are thrilled that Ezekiel put this dance together, and that it will be a fundraiser for the Exchange,” says ORS/Exchange Board President Pete Moe. “In fact, the tim-ing is perfect, as Fred Klein is kicking off the Exchange re-design project this month.”

The dance starts at 8 p.m. There will be a $10 sug-gested donation at the door.

At the 4-H meeting last Sunday at the Grange, we carded some wool, which means brushing all the wrinkles out so that you can spin it into yarn.

We also learned how to felt a rug. You take some wool, put it in a wading pool with water and soap (the water has to be pretty hot) and then push it down and rub it around with your hands. The wool gets con-nected together and then, when it dries, out you have a rug. Robin Freeman came to talk about demonstra-tions. She had a poster with a nail through it titled “Nail your Demonstration.” A demonstration is a talk by a 4-Her telling how to do something. After the meet-ing we ate ice cream and played outside.

Islanders Bank earns big rebates

OPALCO presented Islanders Bank with a check for $10,775 for the com-mercial lighting upgrades that the bank completed at all three branches, San Juan, Orcas and Lopez. OPALCO’s Energy Services Specialist Elisa Howard pre-sented the big rebate check to Brad Williamson, CEO, and Ray Adams, project manager, at Islanders Bank on May 28.

The three bank branches upgraded nearly 300 light-ing fixtures, replacing incan-descent bulbs with high-efficiency LEDs, and T-12 fluorescent bulbs with ener-gy-saving T-8 bulbs with efficient new ballasts. Some fixtures were equipped with occupancy sensors for fur-ther savings. The lighting

upgrades will save Islanders Bank a combined estimat-ed 50,390 annual kilowatt hours which will translate to significant savings on their monthly utility bills. Electric lighting accounts for approximately 25 per-cent of all the energy used in commercial buildings.

“Islanders Bank is com-mitted to doing the right thing for our custom-ers and community,” said Williamson. “We’ve been encouraging our custom-ers toward greater energy efficiency through our Get Connected Loan Program and OPALCO’s Home Snapshot Energy Assessments. This was a perfect opportunity to ‘walk our talk’ and it will pay divi-dends in energy savings for

years to come.”For more information on

Community news briefsEpiscopal church gets solar panels

by CALI BAGBYSta� reporter

When Bishop Craig Anderson was asked what he want-ed for a retirement gift, he always replied, “I want a solar system for our church.”

After almost six years as part-time Rector of Emmanuel Episcopal Parish of Orcas Island, Anderson announced his retirement in April. Now, just a month later, solar panels have been installed on the water side of the newly renovated Benson Room, located to the right of the church. Thanks to a retirement gift from an anonymous donor, Anderson has received his wish and he’s not the only one looking forward to some changes in the green direction.

“I’m all for it,” said George Garrels, an active member of the church. “When we were renovating the Benson room it was on our wish list to do the solar, but we had other issues. We found a lot of mold and rotten timber and so we finally had to ... back off with the solar. When this gift came through we were able to say let’s do it.”

Garrels said that at first he didn’t know much about solar. Now after working on the project, he has gotten excited about the newly installed 4-kilowatt system, which is com-prised of 16 modules. The system is built in such a way that if the church raised more funds they could expand the number of solar panels.

The church has taken more than one step to be energy conscious. The parish was given a rebate check from OPALCO in April for installing weatherization measures in the shell of the building. The old water-facing windows were also replaced and insulation was added to the attic and the crawlspace after a great deal of air sealing was performed.

Anderson said he hopes that the newest addition of the solar panels will lead other businesses in Eastsound to go green too.

It's a new record for the Orcas Island Community Foundation.

The organization distrib-uted more than $130,000 to island non-profits, the highest amount to date.

“The generosity is abso-lutely tremendous,” said Executive Director Hilary Canty during the awards ceremony on May 31.

The total amount requested was $260,000 and OICF was able to give $130,710 in 30 grants. Of that amount, OICF dedi-cated $31,000 from the community endowment. Additional funding was sought from Partners in Philanthropy, island neigh-bors who contributed money towards proposals they identified. The part-ners gave $99,710 – a huge jump from the $69,000

given in 2012. Canty attributes that

growth primarily to the online grants catalog, where the community was able to access the list of opportuni-ties with ease.

Every year, the Orcas High School seniors are tasked with distributing $5,000 to non-profits of their choice. This year's student pre-senters Jessica Gudgell and Cameron Schuh announced their class selections: The Phoenix Fund to rebuild the Exchange was given $1,000; Friends of Moran State Park received $500; Friends of the Library was given $500; the Orcas Island Food Bank received $1,000; Orcas Family Connections was given $500; Island Reproductive Services received $500; and the Booster Club received $1000.

There is a line from “Les Miserables” that brings Grace McCune to tears every time she hears it: “To love another person is to see the face of god.”

She is bringing that passion to Orcas Center this week with a concert version of “Les Mis” performed by her adult and youth choirs.

“When I first heard the music of 'Les Miserables' at age 21, it captivated me,” McCune said. “It is a piece of work that is my absolute favorite in musical theatre. When the movie came out, I used that as an inspiration to teach the music to my choirs.”

It’s a labor of love for everyone involved in the show. Piano accompanist Ron Myers says it is his favorite musical of all time and soloist Jake Perrine wrote many college papers on the production.

“In college, I used to have 'Les Mis offs' – you start at the beginning of the play, sing the songs for as long as you can and if you mess up then someone else takes over. I challenged Grace and I think I've intimidated her with my knowledge,” Perrine said with a laugh. “My whole life changed after I first saw a 'Les

Mis' production in Boston in high school. It changed my view of the art form of the musical … I am kind of obsessed.”

McCune's “Musical Theater Youth Troupe” and “Rock on the Rock Singers” will perform 18 songs from the play on Thursday, June 6 at 7 p.m. on the main stage. Admission is free.

The choirs have been meeting since February to pull together a knock-out performance. The concert is packed with huge choral numbers and choreography by Rene Hunt. In addition to Perrine, soloists include Cali Bagby, Erin Hickey, Stormy Hildreth, Tammy Grantham, Bill Griswold, Dave Lutz, Frank Michels, Nastashja and Ricardo Milan and Erika Murray.

“I took a chance with doing it because we usually do the rock and roll thing and we haven't done musical theatre before,” McCune said. “It ended up drawing a whole bunch of new people. This is the strongest choir yet. We've put together quite a show.”

Some of the words she uses to describe the music: dynamic, difficult, gripping, heart-wrenching and hopeful.

“Les Mis has got everything in it: redemp-tion, morality, staying true to ideals even in the face of your own demise and of course the

class warfare issues that are timely right now,” Perrine said.

McCune let her soloists choose their own songs. Perrine is singing “Red and Black,” “Bring Him Home,” and “What Have I Done” as well as “A Heart Full of Love” with McCune and Bagby. He is also a member of the Orcas Choral Society and performed “Mozart's Requiem” this past April.

“I've been trying to keep myself out of per-formances for a while because I am so busy, but this is like crack for me,” he laughed. “Grace offers people a chance to do something that is outside their comfort zone and there isn't a lot of pressure or pretense – it's about having a good time. Singing with Ron playing the piano has been the most fun I've had singing in 20 years.”

McCune has been conducting the choirs since 2009. Their performances started out as an offering for friends and family, but have grown into a community event. The last three concerts on the main stage have been packed.

“From my perspective, this is the best thing that Grace has put on,” Myers said. “It's a mar-velous show … folks are going to be in for a big surprise.”

Do you hear the people sing?

The exhibit “Every Picture Tells a Story” opened May 25 at the Orcas Island Historical Museum and runs through July 15.

James Theodore “Jim” Geoghegan brings early Orcas Island history to life with his collection of pho-tographs dating primarily

between 1914 and 1941. When his father, Richard

Taylor Geoghegan, a con-summate Irishman then living in England, died, Jim and older brother Fred decided to follow their mother’s brother, Richard Charles Willis, to Orcas Island. Arriving here in 1889, Fred and Jim home-steaded a place that is now just outside Moran State Park. After a short time they decided to purchase land close to Eastsound, and built a house on what is now the Orcas Medical Center.

Geoghegan captured the majesty and whimsy of Orcas and its inhabit-ants with the use of multiple formats like glass plate and nitrate negatives. Dozens of photos of family and com-munity highlight the exhibit and illustrate Jim’s skills in composition and exposure.

The exhibit also show-cases an array of his vintage photography equipment. Several Kodak cameras including a B3 from 1906, a five foot long Eastman enlarger paired with a Haynes MCM photometer, silver nitrate developing trays and a kerosene dark room “safe light.” These rel-ics transport visitors back more than a century to view then state of the art tech-nology.

Artworks features encaustics by Holm

Encaustic paintings by Marilee Whitehouse Holm (pictured above) will be on exhibit at the Orcas Island Artworks through the month of June.

“The encaustic material is so beautiful, I feel the wax does some of the work for me,” said Holm.

She applies multiple lay-ers of melted pigmented

beeswax onto a prepared ground with bristle and goat’s hair brushes, fusing each layer with a propane blowtorch. Then she works the material with “knives, forks, ceramic tools, scrap-ers, scratchers, wire brush-es, baker’s tools, and scrap metal found on the road.”

Holm earned her Bachelor of Fine Art at the University of Washington in 1975 and studied encaus-tic painting with Hamid Zavareei at Gage Academy in Seattle. The current exhibit celebrates the theme of “Home.” She has lived on Orcas Island since 1993.

The Artworks is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Carl Buttke, Lee Phillips show

Watercolor paintings by Carl Buttke and wood sculptures by Lee Phillips

will be on display at the Orcas Center Lobby Gallery during June and the first half of July. The show, called “Reflections,” con-veys the moods and mys-tery between the real and imagined through paintings of forest reflections on our island waters and images created in wood. The paint-ings and wood sculptures featured in this show have been in preparation for the past two years.

The opening reception will be on Friday, June 7 from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

With more than 100 nonprofits on Orcas, chances are you volunteer or work for one or more organizations. It is likely that you occasionally find yourself mulling over issues that could steer your organization off track. If so, the Orcas Island Community Foundation’s forthcoming Enterprise Risk Management Workshop is for you, say orga-nizers.

ERM is a management tool used today by the boards and leaders of many large com-panies and nonprofits worldwide. It helps them identify the most serious risks that could impede the attainment of their orga-nizations’ goals, and take action in advance to mitigate those risks.

This workshop will help boards, vol-unteers and staff become more able to

identify their priority goals; name the most salient threats to attainment of those goals; describe the steps they are taking to man-age their most significant risks; and evalu-ate their success over time in mitigating risk and achieving success. The model that will be presented by Frank Topper at the forthcoming workshop was developed at Stanford University and Stanford University Hospitals in the mid-1990’s.

The workshop will be held on June 24 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Eastsound Fire Station. The cost for the day is $50 per organization, and organizations are encour-aged to bring multiple participants. RSVP to OICF (376-6423) by June 14. Lunch will also be available at a cost of $5 per partici-pant if preregistered.

Risk management workshopLocal art news

Since the time of Aristotle, people have been asking, “What is the Good Life?” In the U.S. it has became synonymous with “The American Dream.” As we enter the 21st century, virtually everybody is step-ping back and asking, “so what exactly is the good life and is it still attainable?”

This is the theme of KindlingsFest from July 31 to Aug. 4. This festival of spirituality, arts and ideas will bring its unique blend of lectures, world-class arts, and explorations of the spir-itual from an inclusive, but distinctly Christian stand-point.

Lecturers include Dick Staub, award-winning broadcaster, writer and founder of The Kindlings (and pastor of Orcas Island Community Church), Art Miller, founder of SIMA, Laurie Wheeler, PhD candi-date in New Testament from University of Aberdeen and pastoral staff member at University Presbyterian church in Seattle, and Chi-Dooh Li (Skip Li), a Spanish-speaking Chinese lawyer from Seattle.

The artists in residence include poet Scott Cairns, New York painter Chris Anderson and musician TJ Stafford from Los Angeles.

C.S. Lewis scholar Dr. Jerry Root, British actor Nigel Goodwin as well

as Windham Hill artists Jeff Johnson and Wendy Goodwin will also be in attendance.

For information, visit

www.thekindlings.com/kindlingsfest/ or call 376-6422. Early Bird discount-ed registration is available through June 10.

Orcas Island kindergar-ten through fourth grade students will gather in the Old Gym on Thursday, June 6 at 6:30 p.m. for the last school concert of the year.

In the spirit of the ele-mentary school’s year-long study of positive character traits, “Character” will be the theme of this concert.

“Our elementary stu-dents have been working all year with Counselor Nancy O’Brien and Principal Kyle Freeman to understand and put into action many attri-butes such as kindness and

respect and responsibility,” said Pamela Wright, music teacher. “You will see these character traits reflected in the songs we have pre-pared.”

Some of the songs on the program will include “Character Tango,” “Upstanding Citizen,”

“Kindness Goes Far,” “Bully No More,” “Growin’ Up,” and “Do the Good You Know.” The third graders are eager to display their recorder skills as well.

The concert is free and open to the public, and all are invited to attend.

A character-building concert


Each week at Orcas Montessori School, the children head home hold-ing large, brightly colored envelopes. Inside each enve-lope awaits hours of enjoy-

ment, a shared experience between parents and their children, and the beginning of a love of languages. What could be inside? ¿Qué hay dentro? The surprise is two new bilingual books that go home weekly, and are exchanged for new ones the following week.

For the past two years, a generous gift from a local donor has allowed the chil-dren of Orcas Montessori School to take home bilin-gual books from the school’s “lending library.” A new gift has been given to the school, making it possible

to replace some well-worn (and well-loved) volumes and purchase many new ones – doubling the size of their lending library.

The children look for-ward to these brightly col-ored packets of books that appear in their cubby to take home for the week, say teachers. This library helps provide families with the opportunity to share the experience of reading together while supporting their child’s learning.

Th grant will also make it possible for the school to purchase additional mate-rials, and give scholarships for both the school year and the summer dual language program. The summer dual language program is sup-ported by local donors and United Way.

by SHARON ABREUSpecial to the Sounder

I met James Lee Stanley playing at a folk music festival in New Jersey. Three weeks later I went to one of his concerts at a wonderful venue in New York called The Towne Crier. I was blown away by James’s musicianship.

He plays guitar as if the instrument is a living, pulsing appendage attached to his body. He makes it sound like an orchestra with no apparent effort. James instinctively knows how to make a song sound special. In addition to being a consummate musician, he has an unusually enter-taining rapport with his audiences.

We became friends. James produced an album for my husband Mike and me, and we've been lucky enough to have him come and play on Orcas a few times. His last concert on Orcas was so packed with enthusiastic listeners that it seemed the walls might bust out. So this time, James will be playing at the Odd Fellows Hall.

Everyone is encouraged to come out for an evening of hilarity and truly outstanding music on Friday, June 14, 7:30 p.m. at the Odd Fellows Hall in Eastsound.

Admission is on a sliding scale from $12-$25 at the door. For more information, call 376-5773 or visit www.jamesleestanley.com.

GRAND RE-OPENING!

The Honorary Mayor of Eastsound race has gone to the dogs – literally.

For the first time, this year’s mayoral slate is com-prised entirely of canines, who officially hit the cam-paign trail Sat., June 1.

Candidates include Terrier Winston, Beagle Jinjer, PomChi Panda, Boston Terrier Fargo and Black Lab Lucy. All candi-

dates are sponsored by local businesses.

The mayoral race is an annual fundraiser spon-sored by and benefiting Children’s House. Voting is open to both islanders and visitors who “buy” candi-dates into office by placing as many votes as they want at area polling locations or online.

Each vote benefits the

toddler and preschool chil-dren of Children’s House. The race concludes July 6.

Over the last several years, mayoral candidates – including dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, bunnies, and beloved bovine April – helped raise more than $24,000 for the school.

Current Mayor Murphy, a Portuguese water dog, will not be seeking a second term but will be campaign-ing for his friends at the Village Market Saturday. Murphy has not yet revealed which candidate he will be backing.

Despite occasional ankle nipping, back biting, yip-ping and whining, the Honorary Mayor’s race is always good-natured and offers the community and island visitors an opportu-nity to support an establish-ment committed to early childhood education.

For additional details on the race visit oich.org or http://orcasislandmayor.wordpress.com and fol-low ChildrensHouse1 on Twitter.

It’s a dog race to the finish
