With his mop of white hair and pen and pad in hand, Ted Grossman was an icon of Orcas Island.

“Ted was the consummate small town newsman,” said Elyse Van den Bosch, former publisher of The Islands’ Sounder.

Grossman, a past owner and editor of the Sounder, passed away on May 3. He was at the helm of the newspaper for 21 years, cover-ing the joys and heartbreak of a community he adored.

“He had his reporter's hat on 24/7 and really believed that the local newspaper could and should be a valuable community resource,” Van den Bosch said. “He was a compassionate and sensitive person who cared as much about the smaller human interest stories as he did the more dramatic, hard news ones.”

Ted first got newsprint on his fingers at his high school’s news-paper in Connecticut. He majored in history at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania but was on the edi-torial staff of the college newspa-per for all four years. He served as layout editor, managing editor and sports editor. After graduat-ing, he attended Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern

University in Chicago. But in 1963, he left to join the Peace Corps.

It was in Peace Corps train-ing in Hilo, Hawaii that he met his future wife, Kay. They were assigned to adjacent islands in the Philippines, and continued their courtship, commuting by ferry to see each other on weekends. They were married in 1964 at the Archbishop’s Palace.

After the Peace Corps, Ted attended Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies at the University of Michigan, major-ing in history. He completed his doctoral oral exams and received a Fulbright Scholarship to the Philippines and Spain to conduct research for his doctoral disserta-tion on the role of Filipinos in the Spanish Colonial Army.

After returning to the states in

1970, Ted taught history in Texas. In 1975, he was recruited by long-time friend Leonel Castillo to work with Hispanic International University and guide it through an affiliation with Antioch University, establishing it as a “University Without Walls” program.

Ted then returned to his pas-sion: journalism.

“Ted wanted to be a doer, make a difference,” Kay said. “Through journalism, I think he found a way to do that. He became fed up with the academic world and the ‘ivory tower’ mentality. After hauling around boxes of notes for his PhD dissertation, he burned the lot of them. He had for the most part finished a rough draft of his dissertation, but it all went up in flames in a backyard bonfire around 1983.”

Ted and Kay purchased the Waterville Empire Press in Waterville, Wash., where they lived for two years. Seeking a big-ger challenge, they sold the paper and bought The Nyssa Gate City Journa in Nyssa, Ore. In 1985, they sold that paper and purchased The Islands’ Sounder, which brought

the family to Orcas Island. In 1994, Ted and Kay sold the paper to Sound Publishing, and Ted remained on as editor until his retirement in 2006.

“Anything to do with kids was particularly important to him,” said Van den Bosch, who worked with Ted for 15 years. “Although

Nunez gets a one-year reprieve by CALI BAGBY

Sta� reporter

After much community support and letters from Congress to the Secretary of Homeland Security, Benjamin Nunez Marquez has received some good news.

Marquez, known on Orcas as Nunez, has been granted a stay of deportation for anoth-er year by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement until May 6, 2015.

For nearly 15 years, Nunez, pictured at left, has worked as a sawyer for Jack and Jan Helsell of Westsound Lumber Company on the island. In 2008, while taking his ailing 80-year-old neighbor Natalie White to the hospital in Anacortes, Nunez was picked up by Customs and Border Patrol. Lacking proper immigra-tion documentation, he was ordered to be deported. After receiving a year-long stay last year, the Helsells applied for another stay this spring.

Over the last several years, Jack and Jan

hired lawyers and applied for temporary year-long extensions on the deportation so that they could find someone to fill his position at the mill. But the Helsells have yet to find a replacement.

“He’s an important part of the business – we would be struggling to exist without him,” said Pete Helsell, Jack’s nephew who helps to oper-ate the mill.

Jack, Jan and Pete plan on continuing to find a way for Nunez to stay on the island.

“We are still working on a permanent solu-tion,” said Jack. “We haven’t given up. The stay gives us another year to hopefully figure it out.”

The next stepAccording to Senator Kevin Ranker,

D-Orcas, the stay of deportation is just one step in a long journey.

“We’re not done yet,” said Ranker. “We’re

Orcas Island School students from the fifth and seventh grades travelled to com-pete in Washington State’s 2014 Math Olympiad, a one-day event hosted by the Washington State Mathematics Council and offered simultaneously at 25 different sites across the state on May 3.

A total of 2,500 students competed in 600 teams. Orcas seventh graders competed in Bainbridge, and the fifth graders were in Sequim.

Orcas teams took a high number of med-als. One seventh grade team earned two medals with their “Superior” rated per-formances on the long problem and short problem, while another seventh grade team

earned the overall highest seventh grade team score on the long problem at the Bainbridge site. A third seventh grade team scored an “Excellent” on four out of five of their short problem categories, answering questions that even stumped several of the coaches and judges attending the event. At Sequim, the fifth grade team, although new-comers to the event, won a superior rating, and medalled with the overall highest score for their long problem work at the Sequim site.

Participation in the event was made possi-ble through the Orcas Island School District and by a grant from Orcas Island Education Foundation.

No one at the Lopez Chamber of Commerce was surprised that Washington was named America's "Most Bicycle-Friendly State" for the seventh year in a row by the League of American Bicyclists, especially after sponsoring what proved to be yet another successful Tour de Lopez on April 26.

Akin to annual boat parades opening the sum-mer boating season, the Lopez bike ride opens biking season in the San Juans. The non-competitive Tour around three differ-ent courses on Lopez is an annual introduction to Washington’s participation in the 58th annual National Bike Month.

Organized for the 11th straight year by Becky Smith, the annual ride wel-comed more than 800 riders who contributed more than $11,000 to defray the costs of operating Lopez Village Park.

“What a great summer season kick-off,” Smith said. “Everybody had a great time and we’re all looking

forward to the 12th Annual Tour next year.”

After another success-ful island ride introduced Washington Bike Month so appropriately, the Lopez Chamber’s Lia Noreen said, “We think Lopez and the San Juan Islands are a big reason the state’s been hon-ored seven years in a row, and we’re happy it came just a few days after our success-ful event.”

Washington Governor

Jay Inslee signed the May Bike Month proclamation and lauded the benefits of biking and the bike-friendly award.

“As a bike rider I get to see firsthand all that Washington has done to make bicycling part of a sustainable transportation system,” Inslee said.

Being a somewhat super-stitious person, I’ve always been reluctant to trumpet good news. This reluctance comes across, at times, as pessimism. I’m not really pessimistic, though; I’d just rather be surprised by good news than by bad.

Which may be why, out of an abundance of caution, each year for the past three I have expressed concern, based on first quarter sales tax receipts, about the coun-ty’s ability to achieve bud-geted revenue. Yet each year we have achieved sales tax projections – and in 2012 and 2013, overall revenue projections – by the end of the year.

My current concern is the opposite of the last three years. I’m worried that, by saying that we’re having a good first quarter, I’ll jinx the rest of the year. But (fingers crossed), here’s the good news so far.

Total sales tax revenues in the first quarter of 2014 were predictably higher than in previous first quarters. After all, this is the first year in which the Public Safety Sales Tax, adopted by the voters in November 2012, has been in effect for the first quarter. But even look-ing at just the local option sales tax – the base 1 percent that the county gets – first

quarter 2014 is the high-est since 2008. Following a strong sales tax finish in 2013, this adds fuel to the hope that some sectors of the economy may finally be recovered.

Real estate is another sec-tor which appears (knock on wood) to be recovering. Sales in the first quarter of 2014 were up more than 100 percent over the same peri-od last year. Average prices were up barely 4 percent, however, as inventory con-tinues to climb and there-fore suppress prices. But the large volume generated higher-than-expected real estate excise taxes (REET) for the county. Like sales taxes, Land Bank taxes – a subset of REET – expe-rienced their highest first quarter since 2008. REET can be used only for only capital assets, but we have enough deferred capital maintenance in the county that the capital dollars are much appreciated.

Permitting revenue in the County’s Community Development and Planning Department had a truly extraordinary first quarter.

This spike is easy to explain, as the March 31 effective date for Critical Areas Ordinance clearly motivated a lot of permit applications. Still, the sharp peak por-tends, like a found penny, more economic activity, and more revenue, to come.

Across the board, in fact, most revenue sources are starting out 2014 in fine form. One insignificant but fun little revenue source, which was up sharply in 2013 and continues strong in 2014, is marriage license applications. The legaliza-tion of same-gender mar-riages in 2012 probably had something to do with that performance. Still, the dra-matic uptick in marriage applications suggests much more than an economy’s recovery. It suggests hope, and we can all use a little of that.

So hang a horseshoe over your door, avoid ladders and broken mirrors, hold onto four-leaf clovers and rab-bits’ feet, and always, always wear your lucky socks when the Mariners play. And maybe this early “luck” will stay with us all year.

If you’re looking to buy a bag of legal pot on Lopez Island, don’t hold your breath.

Both applicants for marijuana retail store licenses on Lopez failed to provide qualify-ing applications to the Washington State Liquor Control Board, charged by Initiative 502 to implement and regulate marijuana legalization in the state.

Those on Lopez will have to travel off-island to score legal weed, at least until the board reopens the window to apply for a marijuana retailer license later this summer.

But Lopezians won’t have to travel far. Potential retailers were approved for Orcas and San Juan Island, one for each.

Only one of two applicants for a retail pot shop on Orcas Island, apparently to be named “Token Herb,” survived the ini-tial application screen. The application for Token Herb listed 837A Crescent Beach Road in Eastsound as its potential store location. Two applications were originally filed for Orcas, but only Token Herb sur-vived the first cut, thus obviating the need for a lottery drawing.

A lottery was required for San Juan Island, however, where 13 applicants vied for one retail marijuana store. Lawrence Enterprises of San Juan Island won that lottery. Assuming that further financial and criminal background checks are satisfac-tory, a retail store for sale of marijuana, pot products and paraphernalia could be opened in Friday Harbor as early as July, according to Mikhail Carpenter of the Liquor Control Board in Olympia.

James Lawrence, owner-operator of Thirsty Goose Farms on Boyce Road, is listed by the corporation division of the Washington Secretary of State as registered agent and manager of Lawrence Enterprises at 51 Boyce Road, also the address of Thirsty Goose Farms. A telephone message left by Sounder/Journal staff for Lawrence was not returned.

The liquor board reported that 1174 applicants filed for retail licenses at 334 locations in the state. Only 75 of 123 jurisdictions which were awarded stores required lotteries to determine who would receive a license.

Unconfirmed reports said that offers up to $250,000 have already been made to purchase businesses with approved license locations. The board said that businesses with retail marijuana licenses could be sold, but that any buyer would have to apply for a marijuana retailer license and pass background and financial checks before the liquor board would issue a license. The business could be moved at that point, but it would have to remain within the juris-diction where the license was originally approved.

Meanwhile, the board has been busy issuing marijuana grower and processor licenses to provide product to stores when licensed.

Twenty-nine marijuana production licenses have been granted, mostly in east-ern Washington, but locally licenses have been issued to growers in Everett, Sequim, Port Angeles, Bremerton and Silverdale.

Goodbye to a great man Remembering TedI remember back in the 1990s

when the deer were using the air-port runway for grazing, before the fence. The fence became the “issue” of the winter season. There always seemed to be an “issue” that was knocked around during the winter by the permanent residents back then.

When the Department of Wildlife got involved, I decided to write a parody of Ted’s articles to lighten it up and write from the animal’s point of view on the fence. They were signed “Bambi and Spirit Eagle.” I substituted names using humor. I remember one was, “Mob Grumble” of the Port of Orcas, Bob Gamble. I submitted the first one to the Sounder with some trepidation and was pleasantly surprised that Ted printed it!

I continued with the “Bambi” let-ters until the issue was put to bed – unfortunately with the Department of Wildlife killing the Deer. Ted printed them all! That’s when I learned about Ted’s sense of humor. In fact, he went on to use my “Bambi” format for the April Fool’s edition every year after that!

My prayers are with Ted’s family at this painful time.

Thank you for Orcas Fire and Rescue support

On May 6, the passage of Proposition 1 and the certifica-tion of the San Juan County Fire Protection District #2 Maintenance of a Regular Property Tax Levy took effect, thus concluding months of hard work on the part of many peo-ple who were dedicated to ensuring that the levy passed.

The maintenance of the levy was crucially important to the continu-ation of the outstanding services Orcas Island Fire and Rescue pro-vides to this island, not only now but well into the future.

I want to acknowledge the mem-bers of the Levy Committee who gave tirelessly of their time and expertise; the numerous residents who wrote letters to the media, let-ters that were often quite moving; the editors of The Sounder and Orcas Issues who supported the levy; the endorsers whose names appeared in one of the advertise-ments; the callers who canvassed the island and answered questions; the individuals who provided pho-tographs for the mailers; and the members of OIFR who keep our island safe. You are all extraordi-nary.

To the islanders who voted “yes,” thus indicating their trust and faith in the department and the com-mission, I want to extend my spe-cial thanks. To those residents who voted “no” and who had legitimate doubts and questions about the amount of the levy, I want these voters to know that the commission takes their concerns very seriously. Furthermore, the commission will make every effort to demonstrate to all island voters that taxpayer dollars are being spent carefully and responsibly and to operate in a publicly transparent manner to ensure that the fire department is efficient and effective.

In closing, I want to express my deepest appreciation to my fellow Commissioners Jim Coffin and Clyde Duke. Their support and their commitment were invaluable. And to Fire Chief Kevin O’Brien, whose integrity, dedication, and strong sense of community in no small part made the passage of the levy a reality, I am grateful beyond words.

Editorial

What I admired most about Ted Grossman was his deep com-munity spirit.He didn’t just write about the news – he was invested in his

story subjects. It’s really the essence of small-town journalism: news coverage with heart and sensitivity. Grossman, a long-time Orcas Islander and former owner and editor of the Islands’ Sounder, passed away on May 3 with his wife Kay and children Alex and Marcy by his side after a brief battle with metastatic lung cancer.Ted and Kay bought the Sounder in 1985 from Al and Nickee Mag-nuson. The Grossmans sold the Sounder in 1994 to Sound Publish-ing Inc., and Ted stayed on as the editor until his retirement in 2006.He will be missed by the Sounder staff – both current and past – and by the many community members’ whose lives he touched. Ted was known for his intensity but also his sense of humor. As someone who grew up on Lopez and San Juan Island, I was very familiar with Ted’s reporting. As a young intern at the Islands’ Weekly, I always looked up to Ted as what it meant to be a “real” journalist. That entailed going to sporting events, covering meet-ings and profiling community members. In watching his relationship with Amanda Leidig, his long-time re-porter at the Sounder, I was in awe of their easy rapport and head-on tackling of issues. I looked up to them and to publisher Elyse Van den Bosch, who embodied small-town, passionate journalism. Since I have been publisher at the Islands’ Sounder, I have tried to carry on what Ted cultivated for all those years. His dedicated spirit will live on for years within the pages of our beloved newspaper.

– Colleen Smith Armstrong, Islands’ Sounder publisher and editor

The newspaper business has always been a competitive one, even here in the islands. My first-ever encounter with Ted Grossman was colored by that very spirit of competition,

friendly though it was. It was more than a decade ago when we ran across each other on the ferry. I was a reporter with the Journal, fairly new on the job, and to the islands as well. Ted was editor of The Islands’ Sounder, had been for eons, or so it seemed. I couldn’t help but feeling a little intimidated.He roasted me for a bit over which paper’s coverage of some news of the day was superior, I don’t recall on what topic, not that it matters. From the twinkle in his eye and playfulness in that entirely distinctive voice of his, I could tell he got a kick out of trying to “get my goat.” I came away feeling fine that he even took the time to strike up a conservation, even if only to tease me. Others in his posi-tion might have simply ignored me or been aloof. People mattered to Ted. Which “team” they played on? Not so much.A couple years later, after Sound Publishing acquired the Journal, Ted and I ended up playing on the same team. I got handed the county beat and he became one of my bosses. I became better at what I did because it mattered to Ted. Still, it was never purely top-down with Ted, a one-way street. Over time I came to realize my contribution was not simply expected, but valued, my ideas and insights as well. When someone relies on and trusts in you, it makes a difference.People mattered to Ted. His friends, even more. I’ve been blessed to have been among them.

port sustainability. Within weeks, Orcas Island will be blessed with a new food co-op. To date, the Orcas Food Co-op boasts more than 500 members. Why such a tremendous show of support? Here’s why.

The concept of the Orcas Food Co-op is really pret-ty simple. It’s set up as a group-owned marketplace that brings together local food and local consum-ers. Orcas Food Co-op is a member-owned organiza-tion. Members are required to make an investment which gives them a stake or part ownership in the co-op. Our co-op will do business with our neighbors who live and work in this community. It feels good to directly support the farm-ers and vendors who grow your food here on Orcas year round.

Orcas Food Co-op is a great venue to meet our farmers. On a regular basis you can feel confident that you can ask about how your produce was nurtured or how animal was raised, how it was fed and other fun facts about the food you will enjoy. Since our family cooks meals at home hav-ing first-hand knowledge

about the food on our plate is comforting.

My family and I are quite excited to support the Orcas Food Co-op. Please tell your friends to check out the website at Orcasfood.coop. There’s so much to be excited about.

You came to my rescue

Just a few weeks ago, I was facing foreclosure, and my poor financial situation seemed to be leading me into becoming one of the many homeless. And then, in a period of 10 days, many people and agencies helped turn my life back right side up again.

I want to thank the indi-viduals at the San Juan Island Home Trust, Compass Health, the Episcopalian and Presbyterian Churches, the Family Resource Center, San Juan County Health and Community Services, Friday Harbor Village, and the many other people who made a special effort in a time of need. I don’t think such fast and positive help could have happened any-where else than in our spe-cial island community.

he was enormously proud of what he did profession-ally and cherished the many awards his work had won, he was totally without pre-tense or even interest when it came to the more super-ficial things, like his office, which was almost always in total disarray, or the cof-fee and ink stains on his clothes, which were com-mon. Given the many chal-lenges that working for a small town paper can pres-ent, it was fortunate for Ted, and for everyone who knew him, that he also had a great sense of humor and could shake off a lot of the daily annoyances by putting things in perspective.”

Scott Rasmussen, now editor of the Journal of the San Juans, worked for Ted as a county reporter. He says he feels blessed to have known him.

“I became better at what I did because it mattered to Ted,” he said. “Still, it was never purely top-down with Ted. Over time I came to realize my contribution was not simply expected, but valued, my ideas and insights as well. When someone relies on and trusts in you, it makes a dif-ference.”

Throughout his nearly

30-year newspaper career, Ted received many awards from both the Washington and Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association, most notably The Miles Turnbull Master Editor/Publisher Award in 2006, awarded by WNPA to those editors and publish-ers deserving of “the very highest honors and respect of the profession.”

After the SounderSince retiring, Ted

became very interested in his family’s history. He studied Hungarian, audited classes at the University of Washington in Eastern European History, con-ducted research at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. and archives in Slovakia and Budapest.

He made four trips to Hungary and Slovakia. He visited several small villages where his ances-tors lived and pored over volumes of town records of births, deaths and mar-riages to find relatives. In 2010, he and a cousin from Israel presented a paper at the International Jewish Genealogical Societies International Conference in Los Angeles.

After being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2010, Ted organized a local support group that met monthly.

“Ted felt a strong connec-tion to the group,” Kay said. “It gave him such a sense

of purpose and accomplish-ment. He was ever hopeful of a cure being found.”

In addition to the mul-tiple trips to Hungary and eastern Europe, Ted and Kay spent a year and a half living in Brooklyn with son Alex, enjoying their two grandchildren, Mila and Joe. While there he volun-teered at the Women’s Press Collective, mentoring aspir-ing journalists and help-ing with the organization’s quarterly publication.

This past February, their daughter Marcy as well as Alex and his family joined Ted and Kay in Hawaii for a 50th anniversary celebra-tion.

“Ted was ever the opti-mist,” Kay said. “He touched many people’s lives. He was a cheerleader for whatever cause he believed in and supported. He loved chil-dren, and was extremely proud of his own two chil-dren and their successes and accomplishments.”

Ted received a diagnosis of stage four lung cancer that had metastasized to the bone on April 22. He passed away at home on May 3, with his wife and two chil-dren at his side.

In remembering him, his grandson, Joe, age five, said what he really liked about Grandpa Ted was that he was funny and silly.

His granddaughter, Mila, age eight, said she admired him because “even when he’s tired, he never spoils the fun and is always game to do what people are doing – like going for a walk or swimming or out to dinner.”

LETTERS FROM 5

By STEVE WEHRLYJournal reporter

A state appellate court rejected an appeal by a San Juan County based proper-ty-rights group, bringing a likely end to the legal battle over whether the county council violated state law by meeting behind closed doors while crafting revi-sions to local land-use rules.

In a relatively brief, “unpublished opinion” issued on April 28, a three-judge panel of Division One of the state Court of Appeals decided unanimously that, “Because CAPR (Citizens’ Alliance for Property Rights) submitted no evi-dence that a majority of the council attended CAO team gatherings or that the CAO team exercised actual or de facto decision mak-ing authority, no ‘meeting’ occurred for OPMA pur-poses, and summary judg-ment was appropriate.”

The 16-page opinion was written by Michael Spearman, who on April 1 became Chief Judge of the Seattle-based court.

In October 2012, the Citizens’ Alliance for Property Rights sued the county, claiming that the Open Public Meetings Act was violated when a group of county employees and three county council mem-bers met to discuss the then-pending update of the county’s critical areas ordi-nances.

In 2013, Judge Alan Hancock of Island County granted “summary judg-ment” to the county at trial, saying that CAPR had pre-sented no evidence that a trial on the facts was called for.

“I’m disappointed in the decision and in the fact that the very brief opinion was unpublished, which is an impediment to obtain-ing Supreme Court review,” CAPR attorney Dennis Reynolds said of the appel-late court decision.

Reynolds said no deci-sion on a further appeal would be made until he had talked with CAPR and with representatives of the other groups – Allied

Daily Newspapers, the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association and the Washington Coalition for Open Government – who filed a friend-of-the-court brief supporting CAPR’s position.

The update of the CAO was passed by the county council in December 2012. It has since been the object of multiple appeals by vari-ous interest groups, cases that are ongoing in the San Juan County Superior Court and before the Growth Management Hearings Board. The CAPR lawsuit is the first lawsuit related to the CAO to be decided by an appellate court.

Deputy Prosecutor Amy Vira prepared the county’s brief and argued the appeal. Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord praised her handling of the case.

“Amy Vira went up against five lawyers with great cre-dentials and matched them by sticking to the facts and the law,” Gaylord said. “It was impressive. I’m glad she’s on my side.”

‘Open meetings act’ lawsuit rejected in court

Superintendent Barbara Kline has been with the Orcas School District for 24 years not 17 years, as stated in last week’s story “The new face of Orcas Island School District.”

Wray MacKayThe Reverend Wray

MacKay, interim co-Rector at Emmanuel Episcopal Parish of Orcas Island, passed away on April 30 at St. Joseph Medical Center after an injury in his Orcas home on April 25.

He served at Emmanuel with his wife, Reverend Kate Kinney over the past year bringing much joy and support to the parishioners. Wray would have celebrat-ed his 85th birthday and 60th anniversary of ordi-nation into the priesthood later this year.

He is survived by his

beloved wife, Kate, his sons David and Peter Mackay, and his daughter Margaret Eckman, as well as by his grandchildren, Gregory, Molly, Claire, and Luke MacKay, and Peter Wray Eckman.

Rev. MacKay was edu-cated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, and the General Theological Seminary where he also served as a professor of pastoral studies for several years.

During his career, he served parishes in Indiana, New York, and western Washington. Wray was an early supporter of the Civil Rights Movement, partici-

pating in the 1965 March from Selma to Montgomery with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., at the epicenter of pastoral care for people with Aids in New York City, and a leader in diminish-ing the terrible effects of food insecurity and pov-erty serving as co-directed World Hunger Year (found-ed in 1975 by folk singer Harry Chapin).

He also was serving as a spiritual director to many people in western Washington State at the time of his death.

A memorial service cel-ebrating his life was held at Emmanuel on May 7.

Agnes B ForbesAgnes passed over on

April 24 at her home in Eastsound.

Her love for the island and its people were evident in

her paintings. Agnes’ works were part of the early Orcas Island Artworks scene. Agnes was born January 19, 1920 and married her high school sweetheart (Andy) at Fort Lewis in 1942. Agnes

and Andrew first visited the island in 1953 and moved here in 1986. She will be remembered for her humor, frankness and strength to confront life’s inequalities.

She is survived by her sons Gregor, Brian, Tim, their families and grand-kids, Darren, Ira, Megan and Sean.

Memorial for Jane Barfoot-Hodde

Jane (Willis) Barfoot-Hodde was born at Obstruction Pass on Orcas Island at the family farm, December 8, 1913 and passed away in October 2013, just two miles away from her birth.

She delighted in the fact that she was in her 100th year.

Her family invites every-one to enjoy a afternoon of memories at Woodside Farm, her birthplace. On May 25, 2014 at 1 p.m., it will be a Potluck meal. Plates and silverware will be provided but just bring food

to be shared. Attending people may want to bring a comfortable chair.

Signs for the location will be posted near Olga. Jane was a dedicated historian and this will be a fun after-noon to continue her pas-sion by each of us sharing a story.

Obituaries Theodore Grossman

Theodore (Ted) Grossman (73) died Saturday, May 3, 2014, at his home in Eastsound, Wash. following a brief struggle with lung cancer.

He was born to Nicolas and Adlah Grossman in Waterbury, Conn. on December 1, 1940.

He graduated from Crosby High School in Waterbury, Conn. in 1958 and attended Lafayette College in Easton, Pa., where he graduated with a bachelor of arts in history in 1962. He attended the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University that same year.

Ted served as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Philippines from 1963-1965. He met and mar-ried fellow volunteer, Anna (Kay) Flaxel on February 28, 1964.

Upon completion of Peace Corps, the couple traveled around the world on their way back to the U.S.

Shortly thereafter he enrolled in a history doc-torate program at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Mich.

He received a Fulbright Scholarship to the Philippines and Spain to conduct research for his doctoral dissertation, which he worked on for the next year and a half.

Upon returning to the

states in 1970, he taught history at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas for two years. He was hired by Hispanic International University in Houston, Texas to guide the school through the accreditation process and the establishment of a University Without Walls program through Antioch University.

His passion for journal-ism was evident throughout high school and college.

In 1978, he and his wife purchased the first of three community weekly news-papers in Waterville, Wash., where they remained for two years, before purchas-ing The Nyssa Gate City Journal in Nyssa, Ore.

In 1985 they purchased The Islands’ Sounder in Eastsound, Wash. The Grossmans sold the paper to Sound Publishing, Inc. in 1994, with Ted remaining on as editor until his retire-ment in 2006.

He won many awards in journalism from both the Washington Newspaper

Publishers Association and the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association, including the distinguished Miles Turnbull Master Editor/Publisher Award in 2006 from WNPA.

Upon retirement, he devoted increased time to his genealogy research and writing, including multiple trips to Hungary and Slovakia to conduct research.

He founded a Parkinson’s Support Group on Orcas Island after being diag-nosed with the disease in 2010. He enjoyed travel and golf and spending time with his children and grandchil-dren.

He is survived by his spouse of 50 years, Kay; his son Alex, daughter-in-law Rebecca Misner, grand-children Mila (eight) and Joe (five), all of Brooklyn, New York; daughter Marcy of Seattle; two brothers, Steven Grossman of Selma, Ala. and Peter Grossman of Indianapolis, Ind.; and numerous nieces and neph-ews.

Please join the family for a Celebration of Life for Ted Grossman on Saturday, May 17 at 10 a.m. in the Madrona Room of the Orcas Center. Brunch side dishes would be appreci-ated.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests dona-tions in Ted’s name to Kaleidoscope or the Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation.

moving strategically for-ward. We don’t want him to be in the same situation a year from now.”

Ranker has been speak-ing out on behalf of Nunez after an uprising of com-munity support this winter.

“Really this movement is due to the incredible effort of hundreds of citizens who wrote letters and made phone calls that made a dif-ference,” said Ranker.

Jack said he was so thank-ful for the letters that not only supported Nunez but also the Helsell family.

Other public officials who have taken on the matter include Sen. Patty Murray, Sen. Maria Cantwell, Rep. Rick Larsen and Rep. Jim McDermott. In April they each signed a letter that was sent to the Secretary of Homeland Security asking for another year-long stay for Nunez.

“He is a wonderful mem-ber for the community,” added Ranker. “He is the sort of person we want in our community and it’s the right thing to do.”

GolfThis week saw the Viking

golfers playing Lopez and Grace Academy golfers.

Eight out of the 11 Viking golfers are first year partici-pants. Each match, golfers see improvements. Golfers have found that the chal-lenge of golf can change day to day. It seems there is

always something to work on. What is exciting to see are the smiling faces and new friends made at each match. This is truly a life game for these golfers.

Next week the League tournament takes place in Oak Harbor at the Gallery Golf Course. Roo Smith, William Coe and Mara Nutt will take on the course. The goal is to have a great time and go on to Districts the following week. All three golfers are very determined to qualify and play in Districts which lead on to the state tournament.

SoftballThe Viking’s softball team

(4-8) fought a close contest last Friday at windy Buck Park losing their second game of the season to the Darrington Loggers (7-6).

Viking bats struggled for most of the game but Orcas pitcher Bella Nigretto con-trolled the Logger batters as well until a couple late game fielding errors brought home four Darrington runs, giving the Loggers the edge

4-0 in the bottom of the seventh inning.

The resilient Vikings battled back managing to score two runs with runners on base before popping out in a respectable come back effort. Orcas hitting, facing a stiff headwind, was a dou-ble by Bella Nigretto and singles by Bethany Hansen and Alicia Susol.

Orcas next plays LaConner and Adna.

BaseballThe Vikings fell victims

to an 18-0 blowout against Friday Harbor towards the end of April but ended the month recovering with two wins against Shoreline Christian, 16-0 and 7-2.

Commenting on the Friday Harbor game, head coach Jim Passer said “No Highlights” but added that the team played much bet-ter against Shoreline;

“We played good, bet-ter defense, they were solid games. Both Pasha Bullock and Miles Harlow pitched and threw really well. We hit okay but their pitching wasn’t great, they walked us a lot.”

Opening May, the Vikings lost a rain short-ened game to LaConner 6-1 and a close game against Darrington 8-5.

Against LaConner, Passer said “We did not hit well against the Braves, we struck out 12 times and we gave them some runs and made mistakes where we can’t, but the rain eliminated any chance of a comeback.”

The Darrington lost ended the Vikings regular season, but Orcas fought the entire game.

“We were tied 1-1 until the end of the sixth” said Passer, until the Loggers scored seven runs in the seventh inning.”We fought back and had the bases loaded but pop flied out to end the game.”

Looking at the season, Passer wanted to thank assistant coaches James Segault, Danny McAndrew and Josh Mayson for all their help and said “We have a really young team and return everyone next season. We have no seniors and only had a couple juniors. We really enjoyed this group of kids and look forward to next year.”

Our little girl Greer, best friend and treasured family member passed away last week.

We are heartbroken and lost without her. She was such a pleasure to care for and gave us an immeasurable amount of love back.Thank you Orcas Island for being so kind to the old lady that rode around in the back of the old yellow Jeepster.

Give where you liveby CALI BAGBY

Sta� reporter

One dollar doesn’t amount to much on its own, but when hun-dreds of people come together with just one dollar bill in their palms, suddenly there is great wealth.

“When we think of philanthro-py, we think of someone with a lot of income, but everyone can be a philanthropist,” said Hilary Canty, Orcas Island Community Foundation director.

So, in the spirit of individuals coming together to raise funds, OICF launched the Give Local campaign in April.

You can donate online at www.giveorcas.org, call OICF at 376 -6423 to pay over the phone or mail in a check to PO Box 1496, Eastsound, WA 98245. The dona-tion period closes on May 27.

The grant processEach year The Orcas Island

Community Foundation accepts applications for their competitive grants program.

This year OICF received grant requests from $200 to $250,000, but the organization only has $40,000 to distribute to nonprofits.

“We don’t have enough to fund all the grants,” said Canty.

So far, the Give Local campaign has received 51 contributions. People have donated anywhere from $25 to $15,000, making a total of $39,000.

Last year OICF launched a simi-lar campaign that resulted in 58 contributors totaling $98,000 in donations. Canty said that the Give Local campaign not only provides funds for organizations but also

helps to promote nonprofits in the community. Each nonprofit has a photo, brief bio and a link to their website on the Give Local webpage.

Selecting nonprofitsThere are a dozen members on

the OICF committee who help select the chosen nonprofits that are the most reasonable and have the greatest chance of succeeding. The committee members review three grant applications each, visit the site of each nonprofit and conducts interview. The commit-tee then convenes and prioritizes vetted and approved proposals to make funding recommendations to the OICF board.

“We recognize some organiza-tions really need support and our goal is to help them keep their doors open,” said Canty.

Some organizations have already met their fundraising goals like the Orcas Fire Department’s Orcas Cares program, which requested $2,500. The Orcas CARES program is a collaboration between Orcas Island Fire and Rescue, Orcas Senior Services, Lahari, Hearts and Hands, the Sheriff ’s Department and the Orcas Medical Foundation.

Organizations that do not meet their goals will receive additional funds from OICF.

“We want to fund as many things as possible,” said Canty.

Seattle Optometrist Helps LEGALLY BLIND to See!

Patient Driving with Bioptic Telescopic Glasses

Just because you have macular degeneration (or other vision-limiting conditions) doesn’t always mean you must give up driving or reading. A Seattle optometrist, Dr. Ross Cusic, is using miniaturized binoculars or telescopes to help people who have lost vision from macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy or other eye conditions. “Our job is to figure out everything and anything possible to keep a person functioning,” says Dr. Cusic. “Whether it’s driving, reading, TV, seeing faces, check writing, bingo or bridge. We work with whatever is on the person’s ‘wish list.’”

With interest-free payment options this technology is now more affordable than ever. “Definitely worth the $2150 cost. I should have come sooner,” said Dr. Cusic’s patient. For more information and a FREE telephone consultation, Call Today: 877-823-2020

CALENDAR FROM 9

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will present a worship ser-vice on Sunday, May 27 addressing connections to animals, both domestic and wild that we relate to in our pri-vate and professional lives.

Three women will tell their stories of sharing their lives with the animals they work with.

Kate Wood, pictured at right, calls what she does, “Natural Horsemanship.” She explains her rela-tionship to her horses as follows:

“It is the spirit of the horse that I am drawn to, and in a sense horses are my spiritual path. I want a heart connection. I see our time together as relationship building rather than training. I want us both to feel relaxed and joyful. I want to be the leader they choose, not the one they fear.

“My herd of mustangs live in pas-tures surrounding my home. I model my time with them after the ways they interact with one another. We hang out together – in a relaxed, non-demanding way. I often sit on a stump and sing. Often I have one of them

graze my lawn as I garden. Time, undemanding time together, is the first step.

“To know what a horse is feeling takes the ability to really focus your attention in a very soft way. I find the best way to be keenly observant is to enter a Zen state of mind. I rely on peaceful and positive energy to draw him in, rather than a halter or rope.

“Moving together is a big part of life in the herd. In the wild they are so in sync that galloping in unison, they move like a flock of birds. I seek that level of connection by playing in

a large arena; walking, backing up, resting, circling, moving sideways. I lead the dance, they follow. I use my breath, energy, intent, eye contact and movement to communicate. I keep it light, playful and full of laughter. The horse is always free to leave. So, Being with horses this way is a mov-ing meditation – both relaxing and energizing.

“Because they are free to leave, I know they are feeling safe and having fun if they stay with me. This kind of play is done on horse times, it’s all about building relationship, not about performance. It’s a dance. Over time the connection gets stronger, as you get better at the game.

“Seeing my horses relaxed, inter-ested and wanting to interact with me and with students, tells me this unconventional way of being with horses is something they like. Who they are shines out – they become silly and playful, asking questions, seek-ing interaction, wanting my company. And this is what makes me the happi-est at the end of the day.”

Our relationship to animals


Tech donations help students read

Orcas Island Elementary’s reading program is being supported by private grant money to buy a set of Chrome Books for the Title 1 classroom. This year the fourth through sixth grade title reading students have been using the “Read Naturally’s Read Live” pro-gram.

This program’s focus is on increasing fluency and accuracy in reading non-fiction selections. Students practice the selection to perfect fluency, learn new vocabulary, answer ques-tions about the selection and write a retell paragraph.

These new Chrome Books will make it possible for the program to have more consistency and reach out to younger students as well.

Community briefs


“We are going and we are so excited!”

That pretty much sums up the feelings of Orcas High School musicians on the eve of their performance trip to Disneyland Park in Anaheim, Calif.

After dreaming and plan-ning for more than a year, the

Orcas High School Strings (plus one percussionist) will be making their trip to per-form onstage at Disneyland from May 16 to 21. It was in January 2013, after the Orcas High School Strings’ out-standing performance at a Northwest Washington con-test that they talked about

the possibility of performing at Disneyland. The students and music director Pamela Wright began rehearsals in the fall, recorded their audi-tion music in December, and were invited by Disneyland to perform this month.

“The Music Advocacy Group stepped up to the plate right away with a $2,000 matching grant,” said Wright, “and then gave an additional $750 to make the trip happen for students who couldn’t afford to pay more money.”

Wright says the trip will involve education, perfor-mance and fun.

“The kids will be working hard in rehearsals and work-shops at Disneyland, but they’ll also have some time

to enjoy the park,” she said. Orcas musicians will

go behind-the-scenes of

a production studio to see how movie soundtracks are recorded. They’ll also have the chance to record their own music and see it synced up with a Disney movie. Some of the music the students have prepared is Leonard Bernstein’s “America” from “West Side Story,” music from the Walt Disney film “Brave,” and selections from “The Lion King.”

Students who will make the trip are Emilia Carter, Lisa Carter, Michael Harlow, Anthony Kaskurs, Wylie

Kau, Enzo Thixton, Emily Toombs, Zach Waage, Paris Wilson – and from the High School Band, percussion-ist Jo Gudgell. Wright and parent Mary Clure will be accompanying the students along with Darren Dix, Orcas School Band Director. Dix once made the same trip as a high school student and enjoyed it so much he’s going back again as a teacher.

The students will be trav-eling with the Sedro-Woolley High School string students who have made this trip before.

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 quantity 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.
