A tanker carrying hundreds of tons of fuel lost power close to the shores of Haida Gwaii, a north-ern British Columbia archipelago, Thurs., Oct. 16. The vessel, near-ing the shoreline, in danger of running aground and spilling fuel into the water, was rescued by a U.S. tug boat after the Canadian Coast Guard was unable to tow it to safety.
Three environmental organiza-tions from the U.S. and Canada, including Friends of the San Juans, have dropped drift cards labeled “this could be oil,” over the past year, with the most recent drop Aug. 25. The cards were dropped along oil tanker routes from the Burrard Inlet in southwest B.C., through the Gulf Islands and San Juan Islands, and out into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The goal is to model the likely path where oil would travel, in the event of a major spill.
Out of 700 cards dropped, six
were found in the Haida Gwaii archipelago. Three were dropped at Turn Point on Stuart Island and the other three in Georgia Strait.
“If it can get there, it could likely get back,” Friends Director Stephanie Buffum said, alluding to the likelihood of fuel drifting into the Salish Sea, if spilled off the Haida Gwaii shorelines.
The drift card project came to life after the third largest ener-gy company in North America, Kinder Morgan, proposed the expansion of its Trans Mountain Pipeline, which transports crude and refined oil from points as far away as Alberta and California.
If approved, the expansion of the pipeline would increase the amount of Alberta tar sand oil transported to the Vancouver, B.C. area from 300,000 to 890,000 barrels per day, and likely boost tanker traffic in the Salish Sea from five tankers per month to 34.
Islands’ Oil Spill Association is preparing.
“Because of the potential and likelihood of increased shipping
vessels, we're focusing on the westside of the islands,” IOSA's Jackie Wolf said. “We have sup-plies throughout the islands, but the reality is in the event of a big spill, we’d need help.”
IOSA is a first-responder that implements strategy and deploys booms (a temporary floating bar-rier) to contain spills and protect environmentally sensitive areas. IOSA and its volunteers have had recent training exercises at False Bay, Mitchell Bay and on the west-side of Orcas Island, focusing on the west side of the islands in the assumption that any increase in tanker traffic will travel through Boundary Bay and into Haro Strait, Wolf said.
Nearly 11 million gallons of crude oil spilled into Alaska's Prince William Sound when The Exxon Valdez struck Bligh Reef in 1989. The catastrophic spill marked the beginning of the end for a small group of transient killer whales (the AT1s) that made the Sound and surrounding waters their home. With the Salish Sea’s own southern residents struggling to survive, Buffum believes the risks of an oil spill outweigh any

Conversation about teen drug use SEE DRIFT, PAGE 7
by MEREDITH M. GRIFFITHContributor
How can we reduce drug and alcohol use by Orcas Island teenagers?
This week a group of concerned islanders gathered to dialogue on the topic, led by mar-riage and family therapist Beth Jenson.
“I don’t know how bad the problem is,” said Jenson. “But … teens use drugs here. They talk about it.”
About 25 people showed up – a mix of par-ents, two of the island’s five deputies, Funhouse Commons staff, teachers, physicians and coun-selors. Jenson asked each attendee to write notes under two headlines: “Why I did drugs when I was a teen” or “Why I didn’t do drugs as a teen.”
Analyzing the results, the group found that top reasons given for using drugs and alcohol included fun, excitement, easier socialization with peers, relaxation, availability of drugs and alcohol and having older friends or romantic partners. Top reasons for not using included oversight by parents, lack of participation by friends, fears of rape or a bad trip, not person-ally enjoying drugs or alcohol, lack of access
and having goals or interests that were viewed as more important.
Jenson noted that lack of knowledge was not a top reason for using, even though many prevention programs tend to focus on dis-seminating information. One parent proposed an approach that focuses on reducing risky behaviors and potential harm to teens. She said a good goal might be delaying use until teens are old enough to make a mature decision.
“The problems my kids face are very differ-ent than the problems I faced as a kid, she said. “To tell kids not to use drugs... it’s not gonna happen. It’s not reasonable,” she said.
A 2012 “Healthy Youth Survey” for Orcas Island School District found that 20 percent of 12th graders were smoking cigarettes, with percentages below 5 percent for sixth, eighth and 10th graders. Forty percent of 12th grad-ers and 20 percent of 10th graders were using alcohol, but just 3 percent of sixth and eighth graders were.
About 25 percent of 12th graders reported binge drinking, defined as five or more drinks in a row in the past two weeks. Nearly 30 per-cent of 12th graders and 20 percent of 10th graders reported using pot, but just 8 percent
of eighth graders and around 3 percent of sixth graders. About 21 percent of 12th grad-ers and nine percent of 10th graders reported abusing prescription painkillers, with under three percent of eighth graders and 0 percent of sixth graders abusing. Use of illegal drugs not including marijuana, alcohol and pot was lower, about eight percent for 12th graders; 4 percent for 6th and 10th graders, and zero for eighth graders.
Most of these statistics show that use by Orcas 10th graders was lower than state aver-ages but use by Orcas 12th graders was signifi-cantly higher than state averages.
The issue of access was also raised: who are the adults providing Orcas teens with drugs and alcohol, and how can they be discouraged from doing so?
A deputy encouraged community members to be observant and present when suspicious activity occurs.
“I guarantee a community can get rid of a drug dealer faster than law enforcement can,” he said. “They know when they’re not wel-

Island Hospital in Anacortes received the Washington State Hospital Association’s Community Health Leadership Award for its approach to deliver-ing mental health services to students in a rural set-ting.
The award recognizes health-care organizations that provide a strong, “above and beyond” pro-
gram to benefit the broader health needs of their com-munities. The award was presented during the asso-ciation’s annual meeting on Oct. 16 in Seattle.
The school-based men-tal-health program began in 2013 with a needs assess-ment of the Anacortes com-munity. The results showed that there was significant need for more mental-
health and substance-abuse services. After considering several different approaches to this challenge, Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at Island Hospital solicited support from a number of community partners to develop a school-based mental-health delivery model.
More than 1,000 mental-health appointments with students have occurred on site at the schools. Students are also able to access these services during vacations and school breaks.
“Increasing access to mental-health services is difficult in all parts of our state, but especially rural areas,” said Julie Petersen, WSHA chair and CEO of PMH Medical Center in Prosser. “This program brings services to the peo-ple who need them most and provides access to other services that might be needed by the student.”
Here is an example of the kind of situations where the program has been useful:
A student had been severe-ly assaulted by an adult caretaker in his home and attended school the follow-ing day. The mental-health clinician on site was able to walk the student over to the Island Hospital emergency department for immediate care and coordinate Child Protective Services involve-ment and police interven-tion to ensure the child’s safety. They have also cared for students who were struggling with substance abuse, depression and anxi-ety.
As a result of the proj-ect, extraordinary relation-ships have been strength-ened among the City of Anacortes, Anacortes Police Department, Anacortes School District, Island Hospital, Island Hospital Foundation, Worthington Foundation and the Anacortes community as a whole.
“One of the challenges for school districts around the country is how to support the mental-health needs of our students,” said Mark Wenzel, Anacortes School District superintendent, in his nomination of the proj-ect. “We have an increas-ing number of students who come to school with mental-health challenges, and these often become an obstacle to successful learn-ing.”
Island Hospital receives awardOrcas Senior Center and Orcas Medical Foundation are
co-sponsoring a one-day AARP Smart Driver Course on Wednesday, Nov. 5, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., that AARP says can save you money on maintenance and car insur-ance costs.
According to Marla Johns of the Orcas Senior Center and Susan McBain of the Medical Foundation, the AARP course will take place entirely indoors at the Orcas Senior Center, in a classroom, and there is no driving involved.
The cost is $15 for AARP members and $20 for non-members. An optional lunch can be pre-ordered for $5. To register and order lunch, call 376-2677.
According to Marla Johns, all who complete the course will receive a certificate of completion. Enrollment will be limited to 30 participants.
“No driving involved and no tests to pass,” McBain said. AARP points out that the amount of insurance savings is
up to each individual insurance company.

Sheriff Rob Nou presented Deputy Doug Maya with the American Police Hall of Fame Silver Star for bravery on Oct. 21.
The award was bestowed upon Maya for his actions on Aug. 30 when he discovered an occupied, burning recreational vehicle in Friday Harbor and rescued two unre-sponsive men from inside.
Maya was-off duty at the time and noticed smoke coming from the RV and went to investigate.
He saw two men down inside the burn-ing vehicle, and without protective equip-ment, Maya rescued them. He called 911 and stayed with the victims, monitoring their condition until units arrived on scene.
San Juan Island firefighters pulled a smoldering mattress and other simmering household items out of the RV, extinguish-ing the lot before any of it burst into flames.
“There was quite a bit of toxic smoke coming off that mattress,” San Juan Island Fire Department Assistant Chief Brad Creesy said.
The attending physician at the hospital said, “Without the immediate intervention by Deputy Maya, these young men would have died.”
Maya is an eight-year veteran deputy sheriff and a current member of Orcas Island Fire and Rescue.
“Deputy Maya’s heroic actions on Aug. 30 uphold the highest traditions of both law enforcement and the fire service in the
saving of others’ lives,” said Nou. “Deputy Maya distinguished himself and the public safety professions with his courageous and selfless actions.”

Deputies on Orcas are asking for help in identifying a subject who approached two pre-teen girls at the Village Green, offering them candy and money. The inci-dent occurred on Oct. 22 about 3:45 p.m. The subject, described as a dark-skinned Hispanic man in his 30s, 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 10 inches with medium build. He was wearing a black hat, described as a “Greek fish-erman’s cap” and driving a black square-shaped sedan. The girls had seen the sub-ject in the Village Stop a few minutes before the encoun-ter in the park.
“To their credit, the girls ran away from the man to a nearby business for safety and called their parents,” said Sheriff Rob Nou. “The man was gone before depu-ties arrived.”

Looking at Orcas from the ‘outside in’
Film festival was greatMy husband, parents, father-
in-law, friends and I attended the Orcas Island Film Festival this past weekend, having all traveled there from Seattle. As an enthusiastic film-goer, I wanted to thank the organizers and volunteers of the festival for putting on such a won-derful cultural event. Everyone had a great time.
I also received one of the three short film grants that were dis-tributed as part of OIFF’s inaugu-ral year; it allowed me to gather material on Shaw and Orcas for two weeks and engage in pure cin-ematic experimentation. As a film-maker, I would like to say an extra thank you to Jared Lovejoy, Ian Woolworth, Amanda Sparks, the OIFF team and community spon-sors, SIFF and Orcas Open Arts for establishing and supporting this grant program. Making the short was a deeply fulfilling experience and one I will never forget.
Financial support for indepen-dent filmmakers, especially those producing short-form and non-commercial work, can be rare and hard to come by. Such grants help us fill in the gaps in our careers, giving us the gift of time and money to try out ideas that we might not otherwise attempt. They are therefore invaluable sources of support for individual filmmakers and help create a healthy cinema culture. I cannot wait to see the
films by regional filmmakers that future OIFF grants help make pos-sible, and to attend the Orcas Island Film Festival next year and beyond. Thank you all.

Support for Lambiel Museum
What has happened to our islands’ appreciation of art and kindness that are so unique to where we live? I, for one, am trou-bled about the fiasco created by somebody within our county gov-ernment to fine Leo Lambiel for his wonderful art. The only tool that they could use to fine him was the fact that he did not have a building permit 19 years ago when his art was approved. Since when do art objects on a person’s property need a building permit? There are spe-
cific exemptions within our regula-tions that exclude art from these requirements. If the rules change later, then there are the grandfather laws that apply so as to not force people to meet new regulations as they change. This gross action has cost Leo over $50,000 to defend, when no defense should be neces-sary. This act is so egregious that it hardly seems real.
If you agree with me that this is a grossly unfair way to treat our local artists, please write more let-ters to the editor of his newspaper and also write letters to our coun-ty commissioners and to Randy Gaylord, who is the prosecutor in these situations. Another type of support that you might offer is to contact Leo and offer to sign a peti-tion that is floating around to stop this bully-type of action against a great artist. His art museum that is open to the public with viewing arranged by appointment is located on Mt. Baker Road on the way to Rosario Resort on the right with the beautiful art work on his fence to his home.

Thank you, Camp OrkilaTo Dimitri Stankevich and all
the staff at Camp Orkila...Thank you so much for everything you do for the community at your annual fall festival. We’ve only been here a little over two years, and your hard work, generosity, hospitality and genuine friendliness are a perfect example of why we moved to Orcas Island. Last year we barely made it to the festival before it was over and were kicking ourselves for not get-
Editorial
Someone on the mainland recently said to me, “Oh, you live on Orcas? I hear your island has a really cool arts and alter-native scene going on.”
That statement made me pause because we all have very specific ideas of what constitutes “our” island. But I am not surprised that Seattleites, or in this case someone from New York, thinks of Orcas that way. We have a lot of really compelling people, businesses and events that make our community incred-ibly unique. And thanks to national and regional media coverage, more and more people are finding out about our little jewel in the San Juans.
One of those interesting events wrapped up a few weeks ago. The first annual Orcas Island Film Festival was a huge success. There were visiting filmmakers and regional directors who participated in a short film contest.
A writer for the Stranger published a blog about his experience at the festival, writing, “All the feature films at the Orcas Island Film Festival were impressive, because it was curated by a pro: Carl Spence of Seattle International Film Festival. There were documentaries, there were shorts, and there were high-quality big-budget films too.”
Islander Jared Lovejoy and Spence pulled off four days of film viewings at three island venues. But it couldn’t have happened without the many businesses and volunteers who rallied around this great idea that it will become an annual favorite. As someone who volunteered during one of the film festival evenings – along with Assistant Editor Cali Bagby – I can say that energy and excite-ment was in the air.
Coming up soon is the first TEDx Orcas Island offering. In the spirit of “ideas worth spreading,” TED has created a program called TEDx, which are local, self-organized events. Live speakers and video will combine to spark deep discussion and group connection.
Adam Farish is curating the event on Nov. 8 at Orcas Center. The theme “This IS America” and it will explore the relationship between island individualism and our place within the larger col-lective American experience. Presentation topics will range from psychology and medicine, law enforcement, media reporting, oceanic ecosystems, national policy, food and more.
Whom do we have to thank for all this stimulating intellectual awesomeness? Engaged community members who care enough to organize these functions and the islanders (and visitors) who support them by attending, volunteering and donating.
We know we’re more than just a “trendy” or “alternative” island, but that’s still a label we’ll wear proudly.

The following are notable alarms from Orcas Fire and Rescue.
On Sept. 7, OIFR responded to a medical alert activation in the Eastsound area. On arrival, they found a man in his 90s who was experiencing shortness of breath. After emergency medical treatment on-scene, the patient’s condi-tion was improved and he did not wish to be taken off the island; he contacted his own physician in the morning.
On Sept. 9, OIFR responded to the Orcas Elementary School for a child with a possible allergic reaction. After treatment by the school nurse and OIFR personnel, the child’s medi-cal condition stabilized and he was left in the custody of his father.
On Sept. 11, OIFR was dispatched to help a visi-tor to Orcas who had fallen while hiking on Turtleback Mountain. She was located by OIRF responders, stabi-lized and transported to the Orcas Medical Center for X-rays.
On Sept. 27, an Orcas resident arrived at a friend’s
house in Deer Harbor and recognized signs of a pos-sible stroke. 911 was called and OIFR paramedics and EMTs confirmed the pos-sible diagnosis. Both Airlift Northwest and San Juan Medevac were unable to fly at the time due to weath-er limitations and a Navy Whidbey helicopter was used to transport the man to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bellingham after initial sta-bilization.
On Sept. 28, OIFR received a report of an Eastsound woman who had taken a fall while hiking in Moran State Park and was unable to walk out due to leg and ankle pain. A friend led responders to the woman and she was moved out to the trailhead using a specialized, trail rescue “big wheel” stretcher. After evaluation and splinting, an appointment was made for her at Orcas Medical Center.
On Sept. 30, OIFR was called by a mental health worker to assist with an elderly man who was aggressive and threaten-ing. Responders were able to work with him and he was then transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital.
Fire chief report
ting an earlier start because we were blown away by the kindness it embodied - hay rides through the fields, pumpkins galore for carv-ing, tall pots of homemade soup and chili, big cups of fresh-pressed cider, trays of man-sized brownies and an overall fall-y feeling with slightly ominous clouds above. Not to mention the fact that it drew so many people together like a big extended family. This year my mom, who turned 80 this summer, decided she’d love to try the zip-line, so we started off the festivities with a glide through a light rain. Experiences like this just don’t happen anywhere else. Everything that hap-pens here on Orcas makes us pinch ourselves. It’s like a little heaven on earth. So thank you tractor drivers, hay-bale stackers, brownie bakers, soup puree-ers, chili concocters, zip-line har-ness-checkers, apple mash-ers, food buyers, pumpkin haulers, scary barn interior decorators, etc.! And thank you, Dimitri, for putting a lot of time and money into the people of the island. It is truly beautiful of you all. Is
this place for real? Amazing.Mike and Edee Kulper

Vote for Fyrqvist In recent presenta-
tions to the Friday Harbor Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs the question was raised if I would continue working at Islanders Bank - the deposi-tory institution for San Juan County – if elected as the county treasurer.
The answer is no. Thus there will be no conflict of interest.
If elected I will devote all of my energy and enthusi-asm to serving the county as a customer-centered, friendly and efficient trea-surer.
In fact, in order to avoid any obligations to others, or possible conflicts of inter-est, I have not accepted any campaign donations, endorsements or committee membership offers.
My only obligation is to the public.

Krebs for sheriffI have had the opportu-
nity to meet with both Ron Krebs and Rob Nou, the incumbent sheriff, in very
small discussion groups during this campaign. After hearing both respond to specific questions about drug dealers among us, responsiveness to citizens, internal working relation-ships in the department, the arson incidents on Orcas, their differing philosophies about enforcement in our community and their priori-ties for the next four years, it is very clear that Ron Krebs is the person we need as our next sheriff. Mr. Krebs is:
1) Much more commit-ted to a collaborative law enforcement approach that includes building relation-ships and educating as well as enforcement rather than merely writing more tickets.
2) Much more commit-ted to responding to spe-cific citizen concerns and to seeking input from citizens (examples are specific drug dealers on Orcas who per-sisted for two and a half years despite countless citi-zen complaints, and the lack of communication with citi-zens during the Orcas arson
fires).3) Much more committed
to making critical decisions that will enable deputies to carry out their responsibili-ties, to communicating with his people, to holding them accountable consistently and evenly, to ensuring that deputies are well-trained.
4) Much more commit-ted to establishing clear expectations for deputies’ behavior, being a leader by example, being present and available and accessible.
I suspect that many citi-zens are not aware of the incumbent’s serious failures to work effectively with the members of our community and with the members of his own organization over the past four years and might not appreciate how impor-tant this vote will be to our community. I urge you to spend some time with both candidates and make your own determinations. I have made mine and I am giving Ron Krebs my vote.
Art Lange Orcas Island
My name is Michael McElrath. I am a 911 Dispatcher with the San Juan County Sheriff ’s Office.
In the election of 2010 I voted for the incumbent sheriff. I strongly believed he was the right person for the job. I could not have been more wrong. In the dispatch center we rely on clarity: clear vision, clear guidance, clear procedures, clear communication. Over the course of the last four years clarity has dissipated like vapor in the wind and communication between the man in the corner office and the rest of the depart-ment is practically non-existent.
Will Ron Krebs make a better sheriff? Why should you take a chance and vote on change? I freely admit-ted I backed the wrong guy last time. Why would you listen to what I say? I can only answer for myself. Ron Krebs and Sheriff Nou were invited to speak to the
Sheriff ’s Guild. Each was given 15 minutes to give an opening statement. Sheriff Nou read, eyes on his paper, the same statement on the home page of his web site. To us. His own people. While answering questions he was, in many cases, incomplete, evasive and dissembling. When Deputy Krebs spoke, he looked directly at us and didn’t read anything. He laid out very clearly why he wanted to be sheriff, what he wanted to accomplish, how he planned on accom-plishing his vision and why he felt a change was needed.
On at least one occasion he admitted he didn’t know the answer but he articu-lated a clear plan to get the answer. I’m voting for Ron Krebs because of his com-munity involvement, dedi-cation to family and stabil-ity as a father, his record of local service, combined with an articulated vision for moving the Sheriff ’s Office forward. Currently, it is paralyzed, stagnant,

unable to move. Oh, sure, we have some shiny new toys: a boat, new vehicles, “upgraded” phone and radio equipment. These are just things; tools we use to bring service to the residents of San Juan County. Without communication, guidance and vision, however, these “things” are nearly useless. The (by now overused) def-inition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a differ-ent result. I choose not to risk insanity.
Michael McElrathSan Juan Island
I’m writing this letter in support of Ron Krebs for San Juan County Sheriff.
I attended the League of Women Voters of the San Juans on Orcas and was able to hear both Sheriff Nou and Ron Krebs give their speeches.
I was bothered by Sheriff Nou’s lack of enthusiasm for his job. I was really bothered by his lack of remorse to a question one resident asked him pertaining to the lack of law enforcement cover-age on Lopez for one or two nights. To me this is unac-ceptable. We, the residents of San Juan County, deserve law enforcement coverage 24/7 even if it means the sheriff or under-sheriff get out and conduct patrols.
Ron Krebs’ plan was sim-ple: “Get out and patrol if he needs to.” While that may be perceived as a simplistic response, the sheriff is still
a certified law enforcement officer in the state. Sheriff Nou seemed to brush ques-tions off while Ron Krebs was more aggressive in his responses. When Ron Krebs was asked how he would deal with the increased drug activities in the area, Mr. Krebs said, “I would park my patrol car in front of the house.” Some may say this is extreme. I simply took it more as he would stress an aggressive community policing policy. Ron Krebs acknowledged the lack of communication between the Sheriff ’s office and the community and stated he would hold town hall meet-ings throughout the islands if need be to address and try to fix the communities’ concerns.
I was able to speak with both Sheriff Nou and Ron Krebs about the lack of manning and the possibility of instilling a reserve pro-gram. Sheriff Nou seemed supportive and optimistic but not interested at this time. While Ron Krebs said if elected, there will be a reserve program to help with the extra manning and to better assist the residents of San Juan County. This is a cost efficient program that will better the residents of San Juan County. Ron told me he wants to update training, policies and bring back leadership to the
Sheriff ’s Department.I believe in Ron Krebs
and his leadership abili-ties to better the Sheriff ’s Department both profes-sionally and boost the morale amongst the depart-ment’s employees. Ron will bring a strong, positive cus-tomer service approach to the residents of San Juan County. I believe Ron Krebs is a very humble man and will work hard for every-one in San Juan county and will put the residents needs first and foremost. I feel he will seek input from the Sheriff ’s Department staff and will strive to work in partnership with them. It’s obvious Ron Krebs wants to prove himself to us and to the employees of the Sheriff ’s Department. It is apparent that Ron wants to bring trust in our Sheriff ’s Department under his lead-ership. Please join me in voting for Ron Krebs.
Patrick Timmins Orcas Resident
Nou for SheriffI am writing this letter
to voice my opinion on the Sheriff ’s race. I have served over 25 years in law enforce-ment and over 26 years in the military. I have worked as a patrol officer and am currently one of your patrol sergeants. I have held the rank of private to lieuten-ant colonel and served in a leadership role during two tours in Iraq.
The one consistency I have seen during my public service is that leaders are frequently asked to do more with less and that organi-zation members blame the leadership for the resulting strain. What is an execu-tive to do? He can either tell his bosses no or ask his subordinates to step up and continue to do more with less. In this case, the bosses are all of you, the voters.
The quick fix would be to add personnel. Sheriff Nou asked for more per-sonnel and was rejected due to budget constraints.
The personnel retention challenges for Orcas and Lopez Island have remained unchanged for the past 12 years due to reasons that are not in the Sheriff ’s control.
A general once told me that a leader is never more dangerous than when he first starts out as a new lead-er in a new assignment. Not because he wants to be but mainly because he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. Although I like both can-didates, my experience has taught me that executive positions are best occupied after progressive opportu-nities for development. I have seen the detrimental impacts to organizations where unprepared leaders were hoisted into executive roles. It was not fair to the organization nor the per-son thrust into the position. Seven years of patrol experi-ence with no management experience in a law enforce-ment organization cre-ates the potential for more challenges, not fewer, in my opinion. I choose to support Sheriff Nou because he is an honest proven leader in the role of Sheriff. Sheriff Nou has made tremendous improvements to our orga-nization and I am confi-dent that he will continue to thoughtfully and calmly serve all of us.

Vote for Joan White
I am an attorney who has practiced law in this com-munity for almost 20 years and have worked closely with Joan White through-out the years, first in her capacity as a deputy clerk and then as court clerk. I have always valued Joan White’s professionalism and depth of knowledge. She has years of experience, does a great job, and really cares about this community, the court system, and access to justice. Please join me to vote to re-elect Joan White as San Juan County Court Clerk.
Katie BlaineOrcas
I am writing to support Joan White for County
Clerk because of Joan’s out-standing personal perfor-mance. I work with court clerks in San Juan County and other jurisdictions daily and I have never seen another court clerk work as hard with the public and attorneys.
Joan makes a true effort to make the Court system work well and fairly for all. I also practice in other juris-dictions and it is always a pleasure to come back and work with Joan.
She takes the time to help and shows professional courtesy to everyone. I urge San Juan County voters to elect Joan White as county clerk.
Shawn AlexanderOrcas Island
I have never before writ-ten a letter to the Editor or an “Open Letter” express-ing my support of a can-didate for public office. I do so now to express my support, and to encourage your vote, for the reelec-tion of Joan White as San Juan County Clerk and Clerk of the Superior Court. Joan’s outstanding manage-ment and operation of the county clerk’s office, Joan’s unfailing positive attitude and instilling in her staff the same positive attitude to truly help all who enter the clerk’s office, and Joan’s efficiency in “getting things done,” are exceptional in my experience.
As an attorney who inter-acts regularly with the offic-es of various court clerks and other state and federal government offices, my experience is that I and the citizens of San Juan County want Joan White reelected to continue her outstanding service. In my opinion, we want to continue Joan’s exceptional management of her office and, equally importantly, the always helpful, gracious and posi-tive attitude of Joan and her staff to those who request assistance. These qualities are truly rare and I for one value them very highly. Please, vote to reelect Joan White San Juan County Clerk.

Daryl RohloffDaryl Rohloff, long-time
resident of Orcas Island, was born in Woodbine, Kansas on March 2, 1929 to Otto and Luella Rohloff. Following a long illness, Daryl died on Aug. 18, 2014 from complications of Parkinson’s Disease at age 85, leaving behind many friends and loving fam-ily. Daryl was preceded in death by his parents, brother Meryl and first wife Phyllis.
Daryl grew up in Herington, Kansas and graduated from high school in Herington in 1946. Daryl moved to California and in 1955 joined the Los Angeles Fire Department where he
served for more than 20 years. In 1971 he was award-ed The Los Angeles Fire Department's high honor, The Medal of Valor, for “Courage under Conditions of Grave Personal Danger and Peril”. In 1970, Daryl met and married Gloria Thomas. Following Daryl's retirement in 1975, they moved to Orcas Island and settled in for many good years. They built their home in the Spring Point area above Deer Harbor.
Daryl became very active in island life. He was active in the Spring Point Home Owners Association, an avid golfer and fisherman, volunteer fireman and pres-ident of The Lions Club.
Daryl and Gloria left Orcas in 1993 and moved to Ferndale, Wash. where they lived until 2012 when,
for reasons of health, they moved to Seal Beach, Calif. Daryl lived a long, happy, well-lived and produc-tive life and will be long-remembered by friends and family who knew and loved him.
Daryl is survived by his wife Gloria, children Linda, Daralyn, Paul, Sherry and Larry, sister Glenda and brother-in-law Don, sister-in-law Pat and her husband Jim of Orcas Island.

reward that the prolifera-tion of would-be petroleum projects might bring.
“We’re in the center of fossil fuel export for North America,” she said. “Right here in little San Juan County.”
The threat of a potential oil spill in the Salish Sea is not only grabbing the atten-tion of locals, but that of state officials as well.
Funding in the 2014 state budget allowed the Department of Ecology to study and analyze the risks to public health and safe-ty, and the environmental impacts of transporting oil in Washington state.
The study found that pre-vention is the best means to reduce the risk of oil spills, and that an aggressive, well-coordinated response plan must be in place in col-laboration with the state, the party responsible for the spill and other organiza-tions.
A public meeting to dis-cuss preliminary findings of the study and accept public comments will be held on Oct. 30, 5 p.m., in Olympia.
Friends submitted com-ments to the governor's office, is asking islanders to do the same, and is orga-nizing a carpool for the Olympia forum.
The goal of the drift-card project is three-fold:
to inform the community about risks associated with increased tanker traffic, to develop a better under-standing of where oil might end up in event of a spill and to accumulate data for a final report.
That final report, to be authored by the Raincoast Conservation Foundation, the Friend’s partner in the drift card project, will be presented to the National Energy Board of Canada, the organization evaluating Kinder Morgan's proposed pipeline expansion. Friends, along with its partners, will air its “comments” about the would-be expansion at the energy board’s meeting in March.

Starting Jan. 5, 2015, reservations will take effect for vehicle travel between Anacortes and the San Juan Islands. Reservations may be made starting Dec. 2.
For the past two years, I’ve been a par-ticipant in the Washington State Ferries Reservations Partnership committee meet-ings, helping to develop the best plan for our complex Anacortes/San Juans ferry route. Many of the details are similar to the Port Townsend/Coupeville, Sydney and our own commercial reservation plans, which are already in place.
The challenge was to find a way to benefit the local population as well as to encourage tourists to spread out their planned sailings to the less “popular” sailing times. Thus the tiered release system was created, whereby percentages of the vehicle spaces available on any sailing will be released for reserva-tions at different times.
The plan is: two months before the sailing day, 30 percent of the spaces will be avail-able to reserve. Two weeks before sailing,
the next 30 percent will be available. Two days before sailing, the next 30 percent will be released. Ten percent will always be available for emergency vehicles, medi-cal preferential load folks and drive-ups (no reservation). Reservations, changes or cancellations may be made multiple times up to 5 p.m. the day before sailing. One free change may be made between 5 p.m. and three hours before sailing.
For complete details on the new system, go to “TakeaFerry.com,” where you can find the PDF documents.
Reservation accounts may be set up now, online or by phone: 205-515-3885. It is the same account as for the current reservation routes.
On Sat., Nov. 1 at the Orcas Library, WSF representatives will give three presentation and Q&A sessions: 2 to 3:15 p.m., 3:30 to 4:45 p.m. and 5 to 6 p.m.

come.” Orcas middle and high
school principal Kyle Freeman said the marijuana legalization campaign has made a strong impression on Orcas students, who have the misperception that pot is harmless, even for teens. He added that Orcas teens are learning how to become adults, and they see adults in the community using alcohol and pot, as well as providing them to minors.
“They’re saying, ‘So we shouldn’t deal with our problems the same way grown-ups do?’” he said. “This is a huge element of what is going on.”
Jenson and other attend-ees stated that it is critical for adults to be the ones to establish values and initi-ate and maintain focus in prevention efforts. Others believe it is crucial to involve Orcas teens in the conversation of why they are using and how to reduce their drug and alcohol use.
“I think this is a great start,” said one parent, “but
the kids have got to be here … or they won’t buy in.”
Some attendees said they believe Orcas Islanders include a “silent majority” of adults who disapprove of teen drug and alcohol use, in addition to a vocal minority of enablers who tend to host and supply teens with illegal substances. Freeman and Jenson both encouraged adult community members to speak up and express their opinions on the issue.
Jenson spoke of a “four-way push” involving parents and community, activities, schools and professionals. There was a general con-sensus that adult neighbors, parents and community members all have a huge role to play in keeping a watchful eye out, holding teens accountable, provid-ing encouragement and support for teens engaged in positive activities, and helping them create mean-ingful and rich lives. The Funhouse’s mentor program was mentioned as one spe-cific way adults can invest in a child’s life through a commitment of one hour per week.
An attendee who said
she is a licensed chemical dependency professional added that islanders can help by creating “an inspir-ing culture.”
“The number one ques-tion my clients asked me was, ‘Why should I care?’” she said. “It’s about having a meaningful future.”
Jenson invites the com-munity to come join the conversation at the next meeting in November (details TBA). Jenson can be reached at [email protected].

In a howling wind and pounding rain tempest, the Orcas Christian School Saints stormed over the Skagit Adventist Eagles 38-15 on Oct. 23.
Protecting their undefeated season and in search of their third straight win, the Saints were ready to roll against their longtime rivals the Eagles. Their stout defense, led by the feared pass rush of Cyrus Amour, Robert Miller, Logan Babcock and Trevor Wareham, caused Skagit to hurriedly throw a ball that was intercepted by Defensive Back Michael Harris who bolted for a 50-yard “pick six” touchdown. Harris and
Corey Aragon would have several more interceptions for the Saints. Orcas used a man/zone scheme that seemed to confuse the frustrated Eagles for most of the game.
On the offensive side of the ball, Quarterback Ryan Flint created a tempest of his own, with his lightning quick passes to Lucien Anderson and Corey Aragon that exploded into big gains. Flint was 20-27 passing on the day for 144 yards. The Eagles’ pass rush was disarmed by fierce blocking of Evie Hance, who also had sev-eral key catches in the game.
The Saints will look to keep things going in November as they compete for the Northwest Title.

Christian football team storms to victory against Skagit
Tough week for Vikings
Salute to military and veterans
by MARTY ZIERSports contributor
Boys soccerThe boys soccer team
had a rough week as they stumbled going into the last pivotal few games to make the playoffs with losses against Friday Harbor and LaConner.
Orcas started the week with a 6-1 loss to the Wolverines but regrouped for a critical match against LaConner that ended 0-0 in regulation. With a potential playoff berth on the line and dealing with a soaked field, the teams went to penalty kicks with the Braves out-scoring the Vikings 4-2.
The (5-10) Vikings play their last regular season game this week against (13-2) Providence Classical Christian.
Girls soccerThe Lady Vikings came
off their first season win with back to back 5-0 losses against Mt. Vernon Christian and Friday Harbor.
The (1-10) Vikings prepare for their last sea-son game against (5-5) LaConner.
VolleyballThe Vikings ended their
season with a 3-1 loss to
Darrington last week and finished the year with a 1-5 league record and 4-8 over-all.
The top three teams in the league were LaConner, Mt. Vernon Christian and Friday Harbor.
FootballThe Vikings faced league-
leading Concrete last week and lost 56-14.
With the Lions dominat-ing all aspects of the game, Orcas ended the first half down 50-6 after Viking quarterback Miles Harlow connected with Pasha Bullock for their only first-
half score.Aidan Kruse ran 13 yards
for the second half Viking score with a two-point conversion on a pass from Harlow to Bullock.
Orcas (0-5) will wrap up a challenging season with games against Darrington (1-5) and LaConner (4-2).

Ruth Moody is an Australian-born, two-time Juno Award winning singer-songwriter from Winnipeg, Canada. She is best known
for being a member of the trio The Wailin’ Jennys and for her frequent appearances on the radio show “A Prairie Home Companion.”
Moody will be performing with her ethereal vocals, impressive multi-instrumentalism and insightful song-writing on Thurs., Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m. at Orcas Center.
Tickets are $25, $19 for Orcas Center members and $11 for students. Tickets can be purchased at the Orcas Center box office at 376-ACT1 or at www.orcascenter.org.
The Sounder caught up with Moody to ask her a few questions about making music and life on the road.
Sounder: What is the difference between per-forming with a group and performing as an individual?
RM: I have three great musicians in my band so it’s still a group performance. I guess the way it’s different from the Jennys is that I am the sole front-person and sole songwriter in the band, so I’m running the show, so to speak. I love doing
both. It’s fun to share those duties with the Jennys but it’s also a rewarding challenge to take on that responsibility on my own. The guys are funny and great to banter with as well; they keep it fun and fresh for me.
Sounder: After listening to your cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark,” the Sounder was wondering if you could speak to why artists like to take on well-known songs and give them a second life?
RM: There is no denying a good song. Singing other people’s songs feels good – you’re paying tribute to something that has inspired you and others. And when you play it for others there is an immediate connection because of that recogni-tion. As for why I chose that song in particular, I learned it for fun and then realized it would lend itself well to the band’s chamber-grass sound. It was fun to turn it on its head, and I like the way it feels to sing it from the female perspective.
Sounder: How many instruments do you play and do you have a favorite?
RM: I play piano, accordion, guitar and banjo. I love them all but I think the banjo is my favorite. I learned it for fun a few years ago and it continues
to be about just that! It’s also been a great writing tool. Whenever I’m stuck on a song I switch over to banjo and the right path reveals itself.
Sounder: You perform four to five shows a week. How do you keep your energy high when performing so much?
RM: The audience has so much to do with it. There is a connection, a conversation, that hap-pens between the performer and the listener, and it’s hard not to be energized when you are a part of that.
Sounder: What is the weirdest venue you have played at and why?
RM: We did a concert in a snail house once, in Bonny Doon, Calif.! And when I say snail house, I mean a house for which the design was based on the inside of a snail shell. It was wild and unfor-gettable to say the least.

Bizet’s “Carmen,” the most popular presentation in the history of the Live in HD series, streams live to
Orcas Center this Sunday, Nov. 2 at 1 p.m. with Anita Rachvelishvili as the Gypsy – a fiery yet cool seductress.
The transmission, hosted by Joyce DiDonato, will be seen in more than 2,000 movie theaters in 69 coun-tries around the world.
Anita Rachvelishvili, the Georgian mezzo-soprano who burst onto the inter-national opera scene in this role five years ago at La Scala who has performed the role to acclaim around the world, reprises her interpretation of the title role with Ildar Abdrazakov as the swaggering toreador Escamillo.
With 985 performances since its company premiere in 1884, Carmen is the third-most-staged opera in the Met’s repertory, and the most staged French-language opera by a signifi-cant margin. Though it is now given in the original French, in the early seasons of the Met it was sometimes performed in both Italian and German in keeping with standard performance practices of the time.
Tickets for this Met: Live in HD presentation of Carmen are $18, $13 for students, $2 off for Orcas Center members, and may be purchased at www.orcas-center.org or by calling 376-2281 ext. 1 or visiting the Orcas Center Box Office open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from noon to 4 p.m.

What a difference a year makes (a year and two months to be exact). Late July, 2013, an arson fire seriously damages the his-toric 76-year-old building in Olga. In the beginning, the building first operated as a strawberry barreling plant that served the island community even as it sup-ported its fruit growers and the economy. The 2013 fire disrupted and displaced other island businesses: an artists’ cooperative of forty-some members and a long-established cafe.
Today, with restoration and rebuilding underway since May, the OSC, stew-ards of the building, are pleased with the progress being made. And once again they are seeing that commu-nity spirit demonstrated as, from the beginning, dona-tions to meet the shortfall in the construction budget have come in. Gifts rang-ing from a few dollar bills handed to one of our board members to a donation of
$25,000 have brought them to $50,000, which is half-way to the $100,000 goal. OSC hopes that those who have not yet joined in the campaign to rebuild this historic treasure, home to the Artworks Cooperative Gallery, the James Hardman Gallery and a brand new café, will do so now.
Donations are tax deduct-
ible. All donors’ names will appear on a panel in the restored building. Donations of $1,000 will be acknowledged on a brass plaque on the building. Donations of any amount can be sent to OSC, PO Box 214, Olga, WA 98279. Online donations can be made through: www.olgas-trawberrycouncil.org.

Committed to the Community!
by JAKE PERRINESpecial to the Sounder
Working with the creative team at Orcas Center this fall to resurrect the high school drama program, and preparing to spearhead the community-wide pageant that is “A Christmas Carol,” I am consistently reminded of the importance of the performing arts in our com-munity. While often filed under “entertainment,” the deceptively simple act of performance encompasses so much of what I believe it means to be human — for both audience and perform-er alike.
I describe theatre to newcomers of all ages as “a team sport with only one team.” It is not an activity that can be done alone, nor in competition with one’s teammates. Much like sail-ing, participants must col-lectively agree upon a des-tination and work together to get there. Moreover, the more specifically we agree on and describe exactly where we are going, the more nuanced the destina-tion becomes. Upon arrival at a performance, we come to understand that even the audience is unwittingly “on our team.” In our competi-tive, consumer driven cul-ture, inclusive activities like theatre renew our sense of belonging to a larger whole.
I have always appreciated that the reference manual for a given performance is referred to as a “play.”
Embodied in this word is the requisite sense of won-der needed for such an undertaking. A “playwright” constructs an elaborate “what if?” wireframe that we may “play” upon. Every moment of a performance is a creative act of play, filling in an infinite array of details with nothing but our bodies and voices. If imagination is a muscle, theatre is its Crossfit training regimen.
So why tell stories to each other via live theater? Why all of the makeup and cos-tumes and lights and sets and sound cues (and bud-gets and marketing and fun-draising), why do it? Why not just go home, turn on Netflix and let the pros in Hollywood spoon-feed us all the stories we require?
I believe that at its core, theatre is ultimately an act of empathy. Part of fully embodying and understand-ing a character is to find a way to love them. Even the villains. (Especially the
villains!) Even Richard III and Medea need our love. When we experience first-hand that even the worst of us is still human, brought to their own unique truth through a series of unique events and mishaps, we can learn to understand them and empathize with them. Witnessing, in the flesh, a member of our own com-munity doing the work to embody and empathize with a character that is alien to them – that is the true healing power of perfor-mance.
So whether you are an audience member, a donor, a volunteer, a performer, a designer, a painter, a techni-cian, a student or a parent, – plug in! Orcas Center is your community arts center, and it needs your voice.

Strawberry Council update
Orcas Islanders are not doing a very good job recycling. That's what Laura Tidwell’s 8th grade science class found out when they looked into the recycling at the Orcas Transfer Station in early October.
“It was disgusting,” said 13-year-old Millie Kauenry Henry. “We couldn’t believe how dirty the recycling was.”
Exchange/ORS staff pulled eight random bags of recycling out of the blue 40-yard steel bins at the transfer station. The stu-dents, working in teams, dissected each bag, separating the clean recyclables from con-taminated material and plain-old garbage.
Everyone (including The Exchange/ORS staff) were surprised at what they discov-ered.
“The kids found that only about 40 per-cent of the material in the bags was actu-ally clean recyclable material,” said Tidwell. “The rest was badly contaminated or non-recyclable.”
The biggest problem was food contami-nation, according to the kids. Bottles, cans and plastic containers with significant amounts of food and mold were found. Also paper products with food residue were common. These contaminated materials are not recyclable.
While a few bags were very clean, most were not, and some were terrible—filled with mostly garbage.
“I am actually kind of horrified,” said Exchange/ORS director Pete Moe. “We’ve had complaints from the facility on the mainland that processes our recycling, but I didn’t think it was this bad. We have some education to do.”
Moe pointed to contaminated recycling as one of the reasons The Exchange/ORS board is convinced that Orcas needs to move back to the source-separation model of recycling that existed on Orcas more than a decade ago.
“Dirty recycling just becomes garbage,” Moe said. “It’s more expensive to process. In the end we will all just end up paying more.”
“People have to do a better job of washing out their recycling,” said 8th grader Luke Peistch.
The staff also pointed out that it’s easy to find out how to recycle correctly at www.exchangeorcas.org, where anyone can download a comprehensive recycling guide.
The visit from the 8th graders to the transfer station is part of a larger coop-erative program between The Exchange/ORS and the Orcas Island School District. “I really enjoyed working with my hands and sorting garbage,” said 8th grader Joe Reigel. “It was a blast!”
Tidwell’s class will be helping with an education program both in the school and for the general public. Specifically they will work on a marketing campaign that will inform everyone about recycling clean, uncontaminated materials.
Julie Pinardi’s 8th grade “Circle Of Leaders” is looking at collecting alumi-num containers on campus, and with Brett McFarland’s High School Environmental Club, getting involved in the “Washington Green Schools” program.

Train to be an oiled bird responder
Islands’ Oil Spill Association is offering a free class in November for islanders who would like to be trained to help in the event of an oil spill affect-ing wildlife. IOSA is the only spill response group in the San Juan Islands and is a nonprofit, communi-ty-based oil spill response organization that consists mainly of residents of the islands.
IOSA’s “Basic Care of Oiled Birds” training will be on Saturday, Nov. 8 on
Lopez Island from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Class size is limited and pre-registration is required, so send an email to: [email protected] to register and/or for more information. You can also call the IOSA office at 468-3441.
In this class, IOSA will discuss essential primary care needs of oiled birds, including capture, handling and stabilization and give an overview of the logis-tics of responding to an oil spill in the islands, includ-ing the many ways com-munity members can help during a spill. We will also talk about the federal and state requirements for oil spill responders.
IOSA also offers spill responder training for con-tainment/exclusion/recov-ery, including on-the-water boom deployment drills, offered several times a year, as well as other classes. If you prefer to work on the equipment side of oil spill response, or if you want to work with oiled birds but can’t make it to the Nov. 8 class, contact IOSA and they’ll make sure you receive a schedule of train-ings that is sent out twice a year.

Scammers are targeting newspapers
Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers. Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution: Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone.
The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper, and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices, to report a problem with the customer’s credit card.
The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card. These callers are not from this newspaper.
This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments; but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method.
To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper, use these following tips:
• Ask the caller to identify himself/herself and the office he/she is calling from, including the address. If you do not recognize the caller, hang up and call your local newspaper office directly.
• Before providing payment information to a caller, ask for information that would be unknown to scammers. This could include your billing address or previous payment information. A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method, check numbers, banking institution and/or the last four digits and expiration of your credit card.
• If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined, verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement.
If you receive a scam call like this, write down all information you can about the call, such as: the caller’s name, phone number, time of day and duration of call.
If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers – Immediately contact your bank and/or credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation. Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation.
If you are a victim of this scam please contact this of�ce 360-394-8704, your local police department,
or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney General’s of�ce.

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