When Cooper Rankin discovered Orcas Auto Tech, it was love at first sight.

“I walked in and said, ‘I could live here!’” said the 10-year-old budding mechanic who first visited the shop with his mom Shelly a few years ago.

Cooper knew right then that he and owner Uzek Susol would be close friends – and he was right. He spends a few hours there every Friday learning about engines, plasma cutting, oil changes, tires, tow trucks and classic cars.

“Uzek jumped in to make it a really rich and amazing experience,” Shelly said.

As Cooper’s friend, Susol lets him watch as he works on projects.

“In 25 years of business and dozens of employ-ees, I’ve had adults who don’t have the attention span that he does,” Susol said. “Every single time I drop him off back home, I am ecstatic that I took the time to be with him.”

Since he opened in 1990, Susol has worked with teenagers interested in mechanics through the career learning program at Orcas High School. He

hopes Cooper will participate when he is older.Cooper is not your typical fifth grader. His mom

describes him as passionate and creative and hav-ing a thirsty mind.

“He is bewildered when kids don’t get him,” she said.

Cooper has been a go-getter from the start. First he was obsessed with firefighters and big trucks. While living in Las Vegas, he was a regular visitor at the local departments. He was also well-known to the garbage men. Every week he would stand on the curb, waiting to help them pull the lever on the garbage trucks.

After moving to Orcas four years ago, Cooper’s desire to learn has been nurtured by a diverse group of islanders.

by SOUNDER STAFFThere is good news when it

comes to the state’s economy.Washington’s taxable retail sales

totals grew to $27.3 billion in the first quarter of 2014 – Jan. 1 to March 31 – recording a 4.9 percent increase over the same period in 2013.

Retail trade, a subset of total taxable retail sales, rose 2.4 percent to $12.3 billion.

The results come from a quarterly report released by the Washington State Department of Revenue of taxable retail sales by industry. The report compares the first quarters of 2014 to 2013, which equalizes any seasonal effects of consumer purchasing habits.

Taxable sales were up in many sectors:

• Construction of buildings – 6.1 percent

• Furniture and home furnish-ings – 6.4 percent

• New and used auto sales – 6.9 percent

• E-commerce and mail order sales – 18.9 percent

Some sectors saw a small decline including department store purchases, which dropped 9.5 percent over the first three months of 2013.

Last week, the Sounder ran guest column from San Juan Auditor Milene Henley. She wrote that county revenue out-per-formed both history and expecta-tion in the first half of 2014. Two areas in particular suggest real economic recovery: real estate and retail trade/tourism.

Real estate activity shows in two ways: increased applications for building permits and land use planning and increased real estate sales.

The sharp drop-off in permit-ting revenue expected after the CAO implementation date did not happen.

Applications slowed to a more normal pace but remained

active enough to suggest that overall activity in Community Development and Planning will beat projection by 40 percent.

Real estate sales also continue to improve. Both number and dol-lar amount of real estate sales in the second quarter far exceeded the same period last year. As a result, real estate excise taxes on the sale of property far exceeded expec-

tations in the second quarter.The San Juan County Land

Bank is already at 70 percent of 2014 budget and is likely to exceed budget by 50 percent or more.

The other type of county reve-nue that was markedly up through the second quarter of 2014 is sales tax.

“We tend to associate sales tax with visitors and the money they drop while they’re here,” Henley wrote. “But we all pay sales tax year-round, and the increase in sales tax even in the winter months this year suggests that it’s not just tourists spending more money.”

The Orcas Island Historical Museum is hosting a “Cruise into History” event sponsored by the Orcas Island Eclipse Charters.

Hop aboard the 56-foot vessel the Orcas Express on Sept. 7 from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. with local historian Boyd Pratt, who will take you on a journey back in time when the islands were booming with industry and the promise of employment.

Imagine an era when laboring hands moved lime materials with only the help of horse drawn wagons, where coopers were kept busy building barrels that steam vessels would carry away from the islands filled with lime, and our forests were logged to keep the lime kilns burning and the goods moving. Astonishingly three to four cords of wood were burned each day at

each kiln site, not including the wood used to power the steam boats.

View some of these kiln sites and hear their histo-ries from the best vantage point... the Salish Sea! The tour departs from the pier next to the Orcas Island Ferry Dock at the Orcas Island Eclipse Charters office.

Check-in is at 12:30. The tour will last about five

hours, getting back to the pier around 5:30 p.m.

Tickets are on sale now for $99 plus tax.

Price includes lunch from the Orcas Village Store: chowder, Napa salad, treats and hot and cold beverages.

To reserve a spot on the Orcas Express contact Orcas Island Eclipse Charters at 376-6566 or visit www.orca-sislandwhales.com.

‘Cruise into History’

Orcas Power & Light Cooperative is listening to its members. A web-based member satisfaction sur-vey was recently offered to all 11,281 members in exchange for a $5 bill cred-it. Participation was great: 2,172 surveys were com-pleted between May 3rd and June 20th, represent-ing about 20% of the mem-bership. The full results are available at opalco.com/news.

The results show that the large majority of our mem-bership (91 percent) are sat-isfied (or very satisfied) with their electric co-op, and 81 percent trust OPALCO to run efficiently. The most frequently cited areas for improvement included improving the co-op’s com-munication, increasing member participation in energy savings programs and addressing Internet ser-vices in San Juan County.

Member participation in the survey was propor-tional to the island’s popula-tion: San Juan Island – 40 percent; Orcas Island – 36 percent; Lopez Island – 19 percent; and other islands 5 percent. Respondents also reflected the demographics of the islands: 50 percent were retired and 50 percent working either at home or outside the home; 75 per-cent identified as full-time residents and 25 percent as part-timers.

The survey measured general satisfaction and trust and also in three targeted areas. It measured commu-nication, energy savings and Internet services. Below is a summary of key findings.

Communication – Most members (80 percent) rated OPALCO’s communication efforts highly. Most people stay in touch through bill inserts (53 percent), news-papers (51 percent) and OPALCO’s website (37 per-cent). The topics of great-est interest to members for future outreach are: Internet service (72 percent), Energy Efficiency and Conservation (54 percent), Power Supply and Rates (53 percent) and Local Renewable Energy (49 percent). In response, we will update our website to

maximize its effectiveness, continue with bill inserts and newspaper pieces, and use public meetings (12 per-cent) and social media (8 percent) channels accord-ingly.

Energy Savings – We can put more money in mem-bers’ pockets. A large major-ity of respondents (84 per-cent) perceive that there are not a lot of potential energy savings to be achieved in their homes. However, almost half (41 percent) report they are “likely” to take energy savings mea-sures if it would save ener-gy and money. Our 2013 Conservation Potential Assessment shows that there is much to gain through weatherization measures in San Juan County. This tells

us we are on the right track in partnering with the San Juan Islands Conservation District and Islands Energy to educate our members in energy savings practices – and to increase awareness about OPALCO’s rebate programs.

Internet Services – Improving Internet service is a key issue. Overall, 35 percent or respondents are dissatisfied with their cur-rent Internet service and a majority (68 percent) would like OPALCO to make its infrastructure available for Internet services. Member satisfaction with current Internet services varies by island with Orcas lead-ing with the greatest dis-satisfaction followed by “other” islands (Shaw and

outer islands), San Juan, and Lopez being the most satis-fied. These findings confirm OPALCO’s direction to offer our grid-control network as a platform to connect mem-bers to Internet services based on member demand and member ability to pay for connection and service.

Narrative Comments– Of the 2,172 completed surveys, 657 (30 percent) left comments and most (48 percent) of those were on

the topic of Internet services followed by General Interest (23 percent), Energy Savings / Renewable Energy (11 percent), Power (9 percent), Transparency (5 percent) and Communication (4 per-cent). A complete list of nar-rative comments is available online at opalco.com/news.

This survey was the first of what OPALCO plans to make a regular feature of their co-op culture.

CenturyLink responds to Washington state fines

In August, the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission recommended that CenturyLink be penalized to the tune of $170,000 for the 10-day outage last November in the San Juans. County Council chairman Rick Hughes said he is glad that UTC, the state agency responsible for regulating the telecom industry, has taken this step, but he wonders if it’s enough.

“I want to know if they have made any changes; is there better customer service or proof of redundancy?” asked Hughes. “If not, I don’t think they have been fined enough.”

Here is CenturyLink’s response to questions asked by the Sounder:Sounder: What improvements to the infrastructure serving the San Juan Islands are

planned? CL: We have installed new radios and electronic equipment along with fiber to estab-

lish a redundant path from Friday Harbor to Orcas (via Mt. Constitution). We completed the fiber work and installation of the radios and equipment in July 2014. Monitoring and testing of the new back-up route is in progress and anticipated to be completed by mid-September. We are awaiting approval from the FCC to establish a radio connection between Mt Constitution and Bellingham.

Sounder: What does CenturyLink think about the $170,000 fine? CL: While CenturyLink did not cause the undersea fiber cable outage, our crews

worked around the clock and dedicated more than 1,000 hours to repair San Juan Islands’ service. During the outage, we provided the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission and other affected state agencies with daily reports, and we kept residents informed through town hall meetings, door-to-door visits as well as through social media updates. We also credited customers’ bills above and beyond the required guidelines. We fully cooperated with the state, using our own resources to help determine the cause and to reduce the likelihood of future outages.

Slippery slope to fogeydom A look at ‘US’

I am responding to the letter from Lopezian James Brady in the Weekly’s Aug. 12 issue. When I moved to the islands there was one ferry that took two trips to the mainland and two back each day. Now there are many super ferries and 49 daily trips. Our area of San Juan and Skagit counties has a greatly expanded population base. The extremely loud Growler jets are a poor fit in this situation and are bound to create more com-plaints as the Navy continues to expand the numbers of aircraft and activities at Whidbey.

As James stated our nation is seriously in debt and how not, since the United States spends more on “defense” than the next 25 counties combined. In 2009 the Department of Defense budget was 717 bil-lion, 16 billion more than president Obama requested (Wikipedia).

Perhaps it is about time we slowed our war making. We could drop shoes and food and make friends instead of enemies. Have our adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan made us safer? I’ll bet

a “Department of Peace” could save us a lot of money and save a lot of lives as well.

Those who hope the base could be moved do “ask what we could do for our country”. Not rubber stamping every new defense indus-try war toy is something we can, and I believe, should do. I agree with James’ comment “it is time to think less about ‘ME’ and more about ‘US.’” The only difference is I feel “US” is the whole world not just the United States.

Even more jet noiseEA-18G Growler jet noise

impacts the livability and econo-my of San Juan County. There is a recent development that would exacerbate the problem.

A Navy memo dated May 24, 2014 was released under a Freedom of Information Act request. The memo disclosed that up to 34 addi-

tional Growlers may be procured and based at NAS Whidbey Island. On July 24 the Navy issued a press release which said that the pro-posed additions “may affect the scope and timing of the ongoing EIS.” These documents and other information can be found at www.quietskies.info.

The Quiet Skies group asks that the Navy follow the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act in conducting their ongoing Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

• Scoping for the EIS should immediately be reopened to address the potential increased number of Growlers.

• Alternatives to basing existing and additional Growlers at NAS Whidbey Island should be fully considered in the EIS.

• All of North Puget Sound should be considered as an impact-ed area for noise and other conse-quences.

• No funds should be expended to acquire additional aircraft or expand facilities at NAS Whidbey Island until a Record of Decision on the EIS is completed.

Please write or email Ray Mabus, Secretary of the Navy and your elected officials. Contact informa-tion can be found at www.qui-etskies.info/#!contacts/c136u.

In addition, we encourage citi-zens to report jet noise using the San Juan County web site http://sjcgis.org/aircraft-noise-reporting/. Reporting is important because it will provide data for the Navy to

Editorial

Dennis Box, editor of the Enumclaw Courier-Herald, the Bonney Lake Courier-Herald and the Covington/Maple Valley/Black Diamond Reporter., recently oversaw the Journal of the San Juans while editor Scott Rasmussen was away. We decided to share one of his columns in our pages. Enjoy.

I have officially become a fogey. How and when I slipped down that slope is a conundrum to me, but all the young wonder-kid reporters working for me have confirmed my fogeyness.

I have hired young, talented and very smart reporters at the Courier-Herald and Covington Reporter. What was I thinking? I’m dumb and I hire brainy (palm hits my forehead).

My drooling slide into ol’ fogeydom was gleefully pointed out to me when I told Ray Still and Sarah Wehmann, both young reporters, I planned to shoot a haying season shot for the front page.

I immediately began to think back to happy hay days on my family farm. Haying season was the hot time in the old town when I was young. I thought they would all be waiting on the edges of their chairs to hear my haying season tales of adventure.

What follows is an accurate rendition of the dialogue between Sarah and me (with Ray secretly rooting her on) that has been carefully cross-checked with my imaginary friend (who always agrees with me).

Sarah: “Is that a word?” Me: “Is what a word?” Sarah: “Hay…ing?” Me: “Haying?” Sarah: “Did you make that up?” Me: “No I didn’t make it up. (My most haughty voice) Do you know when I was a kid we never went to school in June because that was the beginning of haying season?” Sarah: “What is it?”

Smash my forehead on my desk… twice.

Me: “You know hay… haying… in bales… throw them around… get all sticky and itchy… look cool like that black and white movie where pretty girls sing songs and dance around with bouncy dresses and always want to kiss the guy who throws bales around and is sticky and itchy.”

I got blank stares and sympathetic nods followed by knowing sidelong glances as if I don’t notice because I am petting my pink squirrel that talks and always agrees with me. Sarah smiled that smile and asked, “Did you take your medicine this week?”

In desperation I call my other crack reporter – surely she would know about haying season.

“What did you say?”

“Haying season… haying season… you know hay, season, bales?”

Long silence.

“I had a friend that grew up on cow farm. Does that help?”

A cow farm… a stupid cow farm. I checked to see if I was drooling on my shirt, or if there was an incision on my head from a lobotomy I had forgotten about. I politely told her the term is dairy farm, or beef farm … not cow farm. Cow farm makes me want to throw up, but if I do I give them evidence to put me away in a very quiet place.

OK, I admit it. The wonder-kids are a wonder and I am a card-carrying ol’ fogey. The wonder-kids can text using their fancy opposable thumbs. I text with one shaky finger and it takes me five minutes to spell the word “the”… correctly.

They can post pictures with their phone in two seconds flat. My phone calls all sorts of people for no reason. It is the spawn of Satan.

Fine. I am apparently a member of the lost cow farm generation. Since I have suddenly slipped down the slobbery slope of fogeydom I will now embrace it.

That’s Mr. Ol’ Fogey to you.

by SUZANNE OLSONSpecial to the Sounder

A group of Orcas Islanders will ride as many as 150 miles on Sept. 6-7 to benefit multiple sclerosis research through the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Deception Pass Classic.

The local riders are Axel Greening, Adia Dolan, Suzanne Olson, Kevin O'Brien and his son Keenan O'Brien.

Kevin has been riding for MS since 2007 when his wife Nancy was diagnosed with the disease. Suzanne, who has lived with MS since 1988, was inspired to ride with a little push from her daughter in 2009.

Adia and Axel are joining the ride this year to support Suzanne; Keenan is making this ride and greater MS aware-ness his senior project.

The two-day ride starts and finishes at the Mt. Vernon Fairgrounds. The first day's route takes riders across the

LaConnor, Tommy Thompson and Deception Pass bridges with an optional loop through Whidbey Island. Day two climbs Bow Hill and up to Larabee State Park, returning along Padilla Bay and through the Skagit flats. The ride is well supported with MS Society volunteers and the fair-grounds become a happening festival site for riders and their supporters.

Riders raise money to support MS research, programs and services dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals affected by MS. Each rider must raise at least $250 to support the cause. All donations are tax-deductible.

The Orcas team is hosting the “Second Ever Chili Cook-off and Ping-Pong Tournament” on Sept. 21. To support these riders in their Bike for MS ride, go to: http://bikewas.nationalmssociety.org. You can look up each rider by name and make a donation.

LETTERS FROM 4

In 2013, a group of women called “The Tatas” began a dedicated fundraising effort that resulted in a $6,000 fund to help islanders mitigate the cost of ferry tickets for off-island medical treatment.

This incredible outcome would not have been possible without the generous support of the Orcas community and the work of those wonderful ladies.

Orcas Family Connections has been managing The Tatas' funds for the past year and is now campaigning to redevel-op it so that we may continue to provide relief to individuals burdened by the high cost of off-island medical travel. This fund is critically important and OFC is counting on local support so that we may continue to offer a helping hand to all of our island community.

The 2014-2015 target for the Orcas Ferry Ticket fund is $6,500, and they hope that the community will be a part of achieving this goal. Just $25 covers the cost of an inter-island ferry ticket, which provides access to the Peace Health Hospital in Friday Harbor, and $50 covers the cost of a round-trip Anacortes fare.

Ferry ticket fund donor appeal


“He is always surpris-ing me with the things he remembers and the way he connects with people,” Shelly said. “I’ve tried to facilitate his interests and passions without getting in the way but also making sure he stays safe.”

Through the mentor program at the Funhouse Commons, John Olson taught Cooper about arbor work and helped him

launch his landscaping business.

“John and Suzanne have gone above and beyond even the mentor program’s guidelines,” Shelly said. “They have had a tremen-dous impact on Cooper and taken a role in his life and in all of ours that is more like family.”

Jerry Schmidt brings Cooper into his shop for woodworking where they have made bowls, chairs, picnic tables and a check-ers set. Walter Henderson taught him to beautifully

and safely carve wood. John Ahrens answered Cooper’s Christmas wish for martial arts classes.

But his true love is engines and big trucks. He knows the make and model of a truck just by the sound of its engine and exhaust.

Cooper’s dream is to own Orcas Auto Tech but for now he is content to con-tinue learning from those in his community.

“Kids used to bully me in class, so I am very comfort-able with adults,” Cooper said.

His shop at home features more than 100 tools that he found at garage sales or the Exchange. In his spare time, he builds and fixes lawn-mowers.

“I love working on big machinery and little machinery … any machin-ery really,” he said.

Cooper is in both the OASIS program (where his mom also teaches) and reg-ular classes at Orcas School. Last year he learned at home for an entire semes-ter, studying subjects like science, mechanics, wood-working, metal work and physical science. Shelly says islanders like Susol, Schmidt, Olson, Mindy Kayl, Merrick Parnell and Barbara Thomas make that kind of education possible.

Cooper recently earned his CPR training at Orcas Fire and Rescue and he

went to Inventors Camp at the Funhouse Commons this summer. He helps out at the Orcas Golf Course by picking up lost balls and driving the carts up for patrons. He has also announced at high school sporting events.

“It would be easy to dismiss a kid, but people haven’t here. They respond to his genuine enthusi-asm,” Shelly said. “So many people have been part of Cooper’s life. He’s had so many job offers from peo-ple who say, ‘when you are 16, you are coming to work for me.’”

Cooper and his twin sis-ter Carlie were adopted by Shelly, who has been raising them with the help of her mother Sue. Cooper says he and his sister are “good friends.”

Carlie is equally as

enthusiastic as her brother but her interests lie in the arts. She studies silk aerial dancing and participated in a circus camp this sum-mer. She also sells her cards and artwork at the farmers’ market.

Edee Kulper, the mother of Cooper’s friend Evan, says she was impressed with him instantly.

“He’s one of the most curious, networking, pro-active go-getters I’ve ever met,” Kulper said. “His garage is a testament to his industriousness – it is filled with tools, projects, parts and pieces. You name it, he has tried to build it. Put him in a room with a dozen grown men and what they’ve done combined might not hold a candle to what Cooper has done in one decade of life.”

It happened in Deer Harbor–Villagers saw action up close

by SUZANNE P. GOTTfor the Orcas Island Historical Museum

Deer Harbor anchorage was ideal for commercial steamboats transporting mail, freight, produce, lime, brick, cordwood, livestock and passengers.

1891: James Tilit “J.T.” & Molly (Cobble) Stroud now owned the store at today’s Deer Harbor Marina.

1893: Stroud was appointed 1st post-master.

� ey stocked sewing products, lye soap, lantern wicks, kerosene, matches, tobacco, ammunition, bacon, co� ee, and makings for pickles, sourdough biscuits, and bean stew.

� is location became an important net-working-and-resource center.

Captains described stormy weather and misadventure. Women announced pot-lucks and babies. Men debated the issue du jour.

1893-1897: Depression boosted smug-gling escapades through Pole Pass and into Deer Harbor Bay.

1909: Stroud got a job with the new tele-phone company in Eastsound, and moved.

Deer Harbor’s growth demanded more services and commodities.

1907-1915: At the slough, Felix & Mary (Weddle) Marrian operated a small store, next to the popular dance hall that doubled as a weekday gymnasium.

Meanwhile, at Deer Harbor Marina, it’s unclear who was minding store and post o� ce. Erastus C. & Margarete Rowley? Wil-liam E. & Eloise (Barker) Armstrong? Or…?

1915: � e new postmaster and owners — William “Bill” & Merle (Schlott) Norton promoted tourism.

Weekend boaters moored to Deer Har-

bor Marina, hiked to chicken dinner at Pat-rick “Pat” & Mary (Marrian) Norton’s Inn (founded 1910), and danced all night at Bill Norton’s new dance hall (built 1915).

Washington State Prohibition (1916-1933) and Great Depression (1929-1939) called for rumrunners to enter stealth race against the weather, agents, coast guards, hijackers, and possibility of death.

Illegal booze ran to the mainland from British Columbia, or from amateur distill-ers and brewers in the islands.

Wine, near-beer and whiskey recipes used many ordinary items purchased at Deer Harbor store. Neighbors bought the bottled spirits.

1941: Ralph T. & Phyllis E. (Holmes) Lehmann erected a convenience store — at today’s SE corner of Upper Deer Har-bor and Gages Roads— kitty corner from Norton’s dance hall. (Both are now private residences.)

1943: Lehmann added a new post o� ce. Phyllis Lehmann was postmistress, until 1968.

Bill Norton kept his marina, convenience store and tavern, public outhouses, fuel/wa-ter dock, and telephone (sharing a 24-party line) for many years.

Construction of the next 144-car-ferry is under way, and the Washington State Transportation Commission is asking peo-ple from across the state to get involved and submit proposals for the new boat’s name. But time is running out. Ferry name proposals will be accepted until 5 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 12.

All submittals must conform to the guidelines below; provide background information on the pro-posed name; and provide proof of widespread public support, commonly done via local press stories, let-ters of support from local/regional/ state bodies and officials, local petitions, and any other appropriate sup-portive information.

Name proposals should

be sent to: Washington State Transportation Commission, PO Box 47308, Olympia, WA 98504-7308, or to [email protected].

The commission has established the following guidelines to assess ferry name proposals:

Names for ferries should carry statewide significance and represent our state’s image and culture.

Specifically, names should represent such things as: state adopted symbols, tribal names, names of bodies of water, geographic locations, cities, counties and the state’s nau-tical heritage.

Consideration will be given to consistency with existing Washington State Ferries fleet names.

Names should have broad familiarity, be non‐offensive and meet ethical standards.

Names with commercial overtones or names hon-oring or commemorat-ing individuals should be avoided but will be con-sidered upon very careful review.

Following the Sept. 12 deadline, the Transportation Commission will begin its review and public comment process for the eligible name proposals. This will include input from Washington State Ferries, the Ferry Advisory Committee Executive Council and the general public. Final selec-tion of the name will occur at the commission’s Nov. 19 meeting in Lakewood.

Many of the 23 vessels in Washington State Ferries’ fleet have names reflecting the state’s tribal, geographic and historic heritage. The most recently named ves-sels – Samish and Tokitae – are in keeping with that tradition.

Additional informa-tion on ferry naming can be found on the commis-sion web site at: http://www.wstc.wa.gov/Naming/default.htm.

Name the next ferry; time is running out

The Actors Theater of Orcas Island announces seven performances of the play “Love Song” by John Kolvenback. “Love Song” tells the story of Beane (played by Zach Knight) an oddball and exile from life. Following a burglary on Beane's apartment, his sis-ter, Joan (Melinda Milligan), and brother-in-law, Harry (Tom Fiscus), are baffled to

find her brother blissfully happy and try to unravel the story behind his mysteri-ous new friend, Molly (Cara Russell).

“Love Song” is a very dif-ferent kind of comedy. Like most comedies you will find a lot to laugh about, but it is also the story of four people who learn about themselves and undergo changes that prepare them for the rest of

their lives. “Love Song” is one of the most humorous and touching plays seen at the Grange in a long time.

Tulis McCall in her review of the 2011 Off Broadway production said: “‘Love Song’ is a rhapsody. It is brilliant ... and waiting for you to treat yourself to a night you will treasure.”

Join Beane, Molly, Joan, and Harry, as they find their way though the labyrinth of life.

Strong language and sub-ject matter make this play suitable for mature audi-ences.

“Love Song” will have seven performances at 7:30 p.m. at the Grange open-ing Sept. 12 with additional performances on Sept. 13, 19, 20, 26, 27 and closing Sunday, Sept. 28. Tickets are $10 and are available at Darvill’s Book Store, on-line at www.orcasactors.com and at the door. For more information contact the Director, Doug Bechtel at 317-5601.


Soprano Anna Netrebko teams up with tenor Roberto Alagna in Charles Gounod’s sensual interpretation of Shakespeare’s timeless love story, “Roméo et Juilette,” streaming to Orcas Center’s big screen with surround sound, as part of the Met: Live in HD Summer Encore series on Saturday, September 6 at 7:30 p.m.

Originally premiered in 1867, Gounod’s opera was a triumph in its time, and is still praised today for its remarkable musical take on Shakespeare. Placido Domingo presides on the conductor’s podium for this tour-de-force presentation.

Gounod’s ultra-sensual score of Shakespeare’s play is an ideal vehicle for star soprano Anna Netebko and the remarkable tenor Robert Alagna, both of whom bring their incan-descent appeal to the title roles. The irresistible Nathan Gunn of “The Magic Flute” is Mercutio, and the delightful Isabel Leonard in her Met debut as Stephano.

Tickets for this Met: Live in HD Summer Encore presentation of “Roméo et Juilette” are $18, $13 for students, $2 off for Orcas Center members, and may be purchased at www.orcascenter.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.

acupuncture and Chinese herbs, treats the root cause of an illness, not just the symptoms. It is

widely known that it is effective for most painful conditions, especially back, knees, and neck pain,

but it is a complete system of medicine that has evolved over thousands of years. The most common

conditions I treat are migraines, menopausal and other women's health issues, emotional trauma, stress,

allergies, insomnia, as well as addictions, but it is effective for most ailments Acupuncture works!

Island LivingLove of booksProfile of library volunteer Skybear Aguilar

by CALI BAGBYAssistant editor

Libraries are constantly changing. Where once books were the main event now you have computers and DVDs tak-ing up the majority of space. For film buff and student intern Sky Bear Aguilar, 18, the ability to enjoy books and the cinema was a perfect fit.

“To me, I just think that it’s wonderful for any place to lend out something that has the capability to make you really feel something,” he said.

Aguilar worked at the library for one semester from February to June 2014 as an intern.

A typical day included putting away books and DVDs, adding items to the catalog, making labels for new items, and helping patrons at the front desk. On occasion he would bring books to the Longhouse and clean DVDs that were scratched.

He describes the cleaning as “one of the most tedious things I have ever done” and that his “soul died a little every time I saw a scratched DVD because it showed me that people are animals.”

Aguilar’s love of film may be one of

the reasons that he found it hard to view ruined media. The young man plans on attending the Art Institute of Seattle in the fall to pursue his dream of becoming a feature film director.

According to Holly King, his supervi-sor at the library, Aguilar’s interest in movies was an asset to the library’s col-lection of flicks.

“He went through our DVD collection and would critique us and tell us what we were missing,” she said.

According to Aguilar it’s important for the library to carry films as well as books because both mediums are a means of expressing one’s self.

“Both are entertainment. Both are lit-erature,” he said. “Both have the capability to inspire, create, be destructive or change the world.”

Overall, King said having interns at the library helps to enrich the lives of island high schoolers. For many students, an internship serves as their first job and also allows them a deeper look into how a public library works.

“They get an introduction to the library from the inside,” said King. “It’s an inter-esting experience.”

Through the years she has watched her

library interns head off to higher educa-tion and some even went on to work in the library system.

The only attributes King looks for in an intern is an interest in the job. Students can apply for an internship at the library.

Aguilar describes King as the best boss in the entire world.

When asked why he thinks libraries are important, he responded with, “They have an entire world of knowledge avail-able to anyone and everyone. How could that possibly be considered to be unim-portant?”

‘Island-grown, island-raised’

The Orcas Trailblazers 4-H Horse Club received one of two San Juan County Board Fair Awards last month at the San Juan County Fair.

Board Chair Jennifer Rigg and Board Member Kira Sable presented the Special Recognition ribbon to the Trailblazers, expressing their appreciation for the club's fes-tive decorations, tidy appearance all week, and most espe-cially, their professional and friendly work with the public.

On hand to receive the award were club members Emma Freedman, Emma Minnis, Ame Exton and Margot Van Gelder.

In the above photo are club members Emma Freedman, Dana Sabine, Daria Stankevich, Emma Minnis, Margot Van Gelder and Aliza Diepenbrock.

Trailblazers win award


The Community Foundation was gratified by the amaz-ing generosity of islanders last week at the 2014 San Juan County Fair when over $31,000 was donated to eight dif-ferent projects featured in the matching program. This amount was raised in just the four days of the San Juan County Fair.

The foundation, in turn, matched those donations for up to 50 percent of the project’s goal amount, thereby allowing over $44,000 to be granted to the following projects:

• Animal Protection Society’s new shelter• Islands’ Oil Spill Association’s new supply trailer• Museum of History & Industry’s expansion project• Community Foundation’s Scholarship Fund• Islands’ Museum of Art’s new building• Family Resource Center’s mentoring program• SJICF Women’s Fund membership drive• Band Families & Friends musical instrument repair

and acquisitionAt the conclusion of the 2014 San Juan County Fair,

two-year-old Gabby Baisch, pictured above, reached into the glass jar that held names of all contributors at the Community Foundation’s booth – and drew out the name of Allen Rosenberg.

That gave Allen the opportunity to select the nonprofit beneficiary of a bonus $1,000 from the foundation. He chose Islands’ Oil Spill Association to be the lucky recipi-ent. The Community Foundation extends its deepest grati-tude to all who made this annual event so enjoyable – and so successful.

Donations at the county fairTwo areas near the San Juan Islands will remain open

for recreational crab fishing while all others in the Puget Sound Region will close at sunset on Labor Day (Sept. 1), with summer catch reports due by midnight Oct. 1.

The only two areas of the Sound that will remain open to crab fishing after Labor Day are marine areas 7-North and 7-South near the San Juan Islands. Sport fishers who crab in those two areas after Sept. 1 must record their catch on winter catch record cards. All sport fishers licensed to fish for Dungeness crab anywhere in Puget Sound have through Oct. 1 to submit summer catch reports to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Crabbers can submit catch record cards to WDFW by mail at CRC Unit, 600 Capitol Way N., Olympia, WA 98501-1091. They can also report their catch online at https://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov/wdfw/puget_sound_crab_catch.html from Sept. 2 through Oct. 1.

Crabbers who fail to file their catch reports on time will face a $10 fine when they purchase a 2015 Puget Sound crab endorsement.

Some crabbing is still open


Washington State Senator Kevin Ranker is one of the keynote speakers at the final event of the climate action summer speaker series Sept. 10 at the San Juan Community Theatre.

It is the end of the sum-mer-long speaker series “Climate Action Imperative: Understanding Impacts and Making Choices.” There will be a hosted reception at 5 p.m. and program at 7

p.m. on Sept. 10 at the San Juan Community Theatre in Friday Harbor. Both events are free and open to all community members.

This special evening wraps up the summer

speaker series, which fea-tured eight experts on Climate Change – from oceanographers to bota-nists, biologists to meteo-rologists. The speakers provided a current look at climate change and what actions are warranted by individuals as well as by our state and nation.

The reception, co-hosted by the Northwest Straits Foundation and San Juan County Marine Resources Committee, is for commu-nity members who want to learn more about Northwest Straits Foundation’s role in protecting and restoring the health of the marine ecosys-tem in the San Juan Islands

and throughout the entire Northwest Straits region. You will also learn how you can make an impact on marine conservation in our community.

Following the reception, Washington State Senator Kevin Ranker, who served on the Climate Legislative Executive Workgroup over the past year, and Stephanie Solien, Vice President of Climate Solutions and Puget Sound Partnership Leadership Council Member, will kick off the evening program with key-note addresses followed by presentations and a panel discussion on climate action perspectives.

Panelists will include Dr. Jan Newton and Dr. Terrie Klinger, Washington Ocean Acidification Center; Dr. Joel Baker, Puget Sound Institute; Bill Dewey, Taylor Shellfish Farms; Dr. Billie Swalla, Friday Harbor Labs; Stephanie Solien, Climate Solutions; and Kevin Ranker, Washington State Senator. The panel discus-sion will be moderated by Lee Taylor of the San Juan Island National Historical Park.

Series co-sponsors are San Juan Island National Historical Park, Madrona Institute, San Juan Community Theatre, San Juan Islands Conservation District, The League of Women Voters of the San Juans, San Juan Island Library, San Juan Nature Institute, San Juan County Marine Resources Committee, Northwest Straits Foundation, Stewardship Network of the San Juans, Washington State University Extension Service, San Juan Island Grange and the Agricultural Resources Committee.

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 delivery 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.
