Marijuana producer and pro-cessor NW Connoisseurs have begun the permitting process to move from their current facili-ties in Deer Harbor to Hope Lane in Eastsound. According to NW Connoisseurs Director of Operations Aarikka Tuss, the lease for their current building will be up soon, prompting the move.

The I-502 permitted growing and processing business is cur-rently set up in multiple buildings on a Deer Harbor rental property, but they plan to build one single building in the new location to house all operations.

According to the conditional use permit application filed on July 31, the property is owned by Tusco Property Management, LLC and NW Connoisseurs will be the tenant under a long-term lease.

“Right now since we’re in five separate buildings it’s a little bit more of an obstacle, because we’re going to and from each build-ing,” Tuss said. “Meanwhile this is going to be everything inside one complete building, so it’s more efficient, better for being environ-mentally conscious.”

The building will be 5,200 square feet without windows, and will

contain a lofted office. According to Tuss, the building will have self-contained grow rooms to double-filter the air before exhausting. The rooms will have carbon filters that will feed into a second carbon filter system attached to the build-ing, which will then be exhausted through the peak of the roof.

“This concept will eliminate concern for odor because there is no particulate matter in our exhaust air, such as smoke, and therefore will travel away, even with an inversion,” Tuss said. “Not only will we filter our exhaust air, but, we are also filtering the incoming air from surrounding businesses. This is to ensure prod-uct quality and purity.”

Tuss said that their current loca-tion at 82 Lagoon Road in Deer Harbor does not allow them to make the changes they need.

The business has applied for a conditional use permit at 46 Hope Lane and hope to begin building in the fall after a hearing date on Oct. 15.

Public commentary for the project ended Sept. 16, which Tuss said consisted mostly of questions

Editor’s note: Watch the Sounder for a special film festival section in the Sept. 30 edition.

by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONGEditor/Publisher

Orcas Island is on the cutting edge of cinema.

During the second annual Orcas Island Film Festival, viewers will be treated to award-winning, independent and studio films and documentaries from 17 countries.

“The majority of these films haven’t come out yet – they are early views,” said Seattle International Film Festival Artistic Director Carl Spence. “It’s sort of surprising

how many amazing films we have. I am very impressed with the cali-ber of the line-up.”

Spence says many of the films are Academy Award contenders and will be in the New York Film Festival just prior to their debut on Orcas.

The Orcas Island Film Festival is presented by Orcas Opens Arts co-presented by the Seattle International Film Festival and runs Oct. 9 through 12. The films be shown at Seaview Theatre, Random Howse and Orcas Center. A full schedule of films, ticket information and more will be available at www.orcasfilmfest.

com by Sept. 24.“We are keeping the same for-

mat as last year,” Spence said. “It worked really well. But this time we have more top tier films.”

There are a total of 30 films from places like the U.S., Canada, Chile, France, Iceland, Ireland, Iran, Jordan, Mexico, Spain and Taiwan. Some of Spence’s favorite selections are:

• Dheepan. Winner of the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes, this powerful drama from direc-tor Jacques Audiard follows a former Tamil Tiger soldier as he flees from the aftermath of the Sri Lankan civil war to begin a new

life in a Parisian suburb.• A Brilliant Young Mind. This

film is about a socially awkward teenage math prodigy who finds new confidence and new friend-ships when he lands a spot on the British squad at the International Mathematics Olympiad.

• 45 Years. Starring British act-ing legends Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay, “45 Years” is writer-director Andrew Haigh’s immensely moving and nuanced portrait of long-term love and marriage.

Over the course of a week in the fall, Camp Orkila provides free swimming lessons for first through fourth graders. The half-hour, daily sessions are an opportunity for kids to learn a critical life skill.

“Living on an island, we want all the kids to know how to swim,” said first and second grade teacher Lorena Stankevich. “And it boosts Susie Frank's swim lessons at the health club and Orkila's summer camp.”

Five years ago, Orcas Middle and High School Principal Kyle Freeman approached Camp Orkila Director Dimitri Stankevich about offering a swim-

ming class for elementary students. Orkila partners with its YMCA head office in Seattle to bring instruc-tors to the island for a week of water safety basics. The program, which costs around $4,000, is paid for by the camp's annual fundraising campaign.

“It is so important for the kids in our community to be exposed to the water,” Dimitri said.

The course teaches children some of the technical strokes of swimming but also covers water safety top-ics like how to wear a life-jacket and help someone who needs assistance in the water. The students are bussed over from the public school for time in the

Come to The Gallery in Eastsound to enjoy a new show of original art work, including figurative, still life and land-scape paintings – some serene and some a bit edgy. It is a stunning collection of work by local artists with many more paintings than in recent shows.

The Gallery is an art cooperative made up of 10 estab-lished local painters: Betsy Nelson, Bill Trogden, Barbara Gourley, Mimi Peters, Anne Pedersen, Susan Krieger, Terrel Kaplan, Annie Forsythe, Jo Andersen and Kathy Youngren.

Are you living the life you were born to live? All women of our islands community, you are invited to come hear dynamic Christian storytell-er and best-selling author Beth Moore via simulcast on Saturday, October 3. Free

childcare will be provided.“Beth Moore is a sassy

Texan whose love for Christ is infectious,” says orga-nizer Angie Johnson. “I've been studying with Beth for years and am amazed at her knowledge of the word of

God. Her humor and empa-thy make every study per-sonal.”

The day-long event is an opportunity to build com-munity with other women seeking a deeper life. Moore regularly speaks to and forg-es connections with thou-sands of women around the world from a wide range of ethnicities and back-grounds. She has authored dozens of published studies and books for women over the past 20 years.

“She is absolutely relevant and current,” says organizer Faith Heath. “This is a won-derful opportunity to hear Beth Moore right here on Orcas Island.”

Moore’s message is fur-ther explored in her newly released book, “Audacious.” After 30 years of teaching, Moore says she came to real-ize that her vision for women

was incomplete, writing, “It lacked something they were aching for. Something Jesus was longing for. What was missing? Well, let’s just say, it’s audacious and it’s for all of us. And it’s the path to the life you were born to live.” Copies of “Audacious” will be available for purchase at the event.

The event will be held at Orcas Island Community Church from 9 a.m. to 4:15 p.m, and includes a 90-min-ute lunch break so attendees can “brown bag” it or buy lunch in town. All women are welcome, regardless of ability to pay. A suggested $15 donation will help cover costs. Pack a sack lunch for each child you plan to bring along. For more informa-tion, contact Susan Clark at [email protected] and visit lifeway.com/living-proof.

Sail Orcas has hired Orcas Island native Hannah Tuson-Turner as its new sailing director.

She will oversee all sailing programs, including teach-ing the adult learn-to-sail lessons, coaching the Orcas High School sailing team, serving as the head instruc-tor for the middle school exploratory sailing lessons and supervisor of the sum-mer junior lessons.

This fall, they will be able to offer a full high school fall racing program.

Tuson-Turner learned to sail with the Orcas sum-mer junior lesson program when she was eight. She was a founding member of the 2002 OIHS sailing

team, went on to sail for the University of Hawaii and is currently a Level 3 U.S. Sailing professional coach.

After moving back to Orcas this summer, her presence was immediately felt as she was the guest head coach for a week-long advanced racing clinic, coaching 22 sailors from around the Pacific

Northwest.For the past year Tuson-

Turner was the junior sail-ing program director for the Encinal Yacht Club in Alemeda, Calif, overseeing extensive year-long racing and learn-to-sail programs. Prior to Encinal she spent three years as director of the Half Moon Bay Yacht Club’s junior program, where she created community year-round learn-to-sail pro-grams and a high school team.

“Hannah’s involvement with Sail Orcas will help us to create sustainable pro-grams for the next genera-tions of Orcas sailors,” say representatives. “Welcome back to Orcas, Hannah.”

With electricity comes power. Not only the power to connect computers to the Internet, but the power to learn and communicate with the larger world.

In the spirit of that power, last December the Rotary Club of San Juan Island awarded the Orcas Island nonprofit Helping Hands Noramise $8,300 for a solar project in Haiti.

“You have exceeded the club’s expectations,” said a rotary member at a recent meeting where Helping Hands Founder Rosedanie Cadet gave an update on the project.

Cadet started the non-profit after being gone from her country for 37 years. She visited her homeland in 2009 just weeks before Haiti was devastated by the 7.0 earthquake that left more than 300,000 residents dead. She eventually found-ed the nonprofit Helping Hands Noramise in the northern town of Limbe, which provides social and developmental programs for income, pride and social activism.

Solar projectOrcas Island’s Eric

Youngren, an off-grid solar

power expert, designed the Haiti solar system, which can source up to 10 comput-ers. There are five comput-ers currently running. His systems are used all over the world from Mexico to Kenya to Tanzania.

The solar panels were installed in March along with security cameras and a motion light sensor. When asked how protect-ed the systems are, Cadet answered: “So far so good. The panels are still on roof.”

The panels not only pro-vide electricity but allow the Helping Hand’s cen-ter to power computers and classes. She hopes that once they have consistent Internet they can start long distance learning programs. Currently only boys are attending computer classes, but Cadet said she will con-tinue to invite girls.

Youngren also developed a grid system that can pro-vide additional electric-ity from the panels to five households. Cadet hopes this will be one way that solar will generate revenue for the nonprofit.

FutureWhen asked what her

next project would be, Cadet said she will con-tinue working with a sew-ing circle where they make cloth diapers and feminine hygiene pads. There is a shop in Olympia that will stock their wares. Her other goal is to connect elders and youth in Limbe.

“There is a huge gap,” she said at the rotary meeting. “In between there is a lost generation because there has been so much misery and corruption. The elders remember that there was something else but the younger people don’t.”

As for the Rotary Club, they continue to contrib-ute some funds for mainte-nance of the solar system by a Haitian electrician. After more than five years of try-ing to build something for the community of Limbe, Cadet remains optimistic.

“I am fortunate to call the San Juan Islands and Haiti my home,” she said. “They are very different and they are very much the same.”

Cali Bagby has been the treasurer for HHN for the last three years.

Accept I-502 into our communities Bikes are traffic

I read with interest last week’s Sounder Editorial, “Road safety.” Although the well-intentioned message offered some sage advice (e.g., turn signals provide useful information), it hinted that cyclists may not belong on our roads, pejo-ratively labeling “bicycle riders weaving into traffic” as a “unique danger” akin to our local roadside nibbler, the deer.

But unlike deer, bicycles aren’t unique dangers to traffic; they are traffic. According to the state Department of Transportation and Washington laws, bicycles share the same rights and responsibili-ties as cars. In Friday Harbor, many courteous drivers demonstrate an appreciation for this transportation equality and go even further, offer-ing to yield to cyclists at stop signs even when it’s their turn (not nec-essary, but the sentiment is appreci-ated!).

Our islands are filled with cre-ative people who need to move from point a to point b. Whether we’re walking, cycling, driving, riding a horse, skating or hover-boarding, we’re not obstacles, we’re just trying to get somewhere. Let’s embrace our transportation diver-sity and share the road safely.

Jazz Festival thank youOne thing that is certain, when

Brazilians come to your neighbor-hood as well as purveyors of gypsy jazz, folks tend to break out in fever, common symptoms being song and dance, a truly infectious form of social well being.

I could not have imagined the Orcas Island Jazz Festival being so successful in its first year. One reason comes to mind, a core of great volunteers who stepped up to the plate: Joe Symons, Chantelle Hildreth, Jackie Daigle, Brian Weise and Anita Orne, the Orcas Center staff, Phil Burbo, Kevin Dickey, Jean Dickerson and Donna Laslo at Orcas Open Arts. Donors that also made this event happen, Roy and Laura Lundgren, Jeff and Mary Quinn, Cristine Connell Family Memorial, James Ford Bell Foundation, Win Rhodes, Richard and Diane Jordan, Frank Greer, Galen Burkhardt, Island Market, Dale and Jane Heisinger, Jim and Betsy Nelson and a very generous anonymous donor.

We have already started plan-ning next year’s Orcas Island Jazz Festival, thanks to all on the island who said “yes” to this year’s event.

I leave you with, “The piano ain’t got no wrong notes.” – Theolonius Monk.

Martin LundOrcas Island Jazz Festival

Chili Cook-off thank youThe Fourth Annual Chili Cook-

off is over, and once again the island came through. The event

netted $1,664.41 for the Holiday Giving tree. We couldn’t have done it without all of you who braved the weather to come out and taste the 10 great chili recipes. A big thanks to the 2015 teams: The Lower Tavern, Jim Passer; Island Skillet, Dave Yerly; Hot County Employees, Ron Gillelund; Orcas Food Co-Op, Ellen Wickham; Red Rabbit Farm, Christina and Bruce Orchid; Gil Becerra; Doe Bay Fire Station, Blythe Simpson; Orcas Island Lions. Sue Cline; Farm to Classroom, Jennifer Pietsch.

An even bigger thanks to all the volunteers who responded to a last minute call for help and came out to make it the great event it was. The many volunteers who acted as servers, the ticket sellers and all those that assisted with the setup and cleanup. A very special thanks to Island Hoppin’ Brewery for their continued support of the Orcas Island Lions who donated the profit from the beer garden to the event.

Now for the news you have all been waiting for, the winners were: first place, Gil Becerra; sec-ond place, Hot County Employees; third place, Orcas Food Co-Op.

Now it’s time to start planning for the Fifth Annual Chili Cook-off in 2016. Dust off those recipes and watch for our announcement in late August. We try to time the cook off for the last farmers market weekend in September. The event is limited to 10 teams.

Again, thank you Orcas Island for helping to ensure that no child goes without a gift during the holi-day season.

Editorial

Although San Juan County residents voted 68 percent to legalize the use and sale of marijuana to adults back in 2012, the actual implementation of I-502 has been rocky.

In November of last year, Token Herb opened its doors on Crescent Beach Drive in Eastsound. It holds the distinction of being the first-ever state-licensed pot shop in San Juan County. We weren’t aware of any public outcry. But it would appear that for the county and our island communities, selling marijuana is one thing while growing it is another. Marijuana producer and processor NW Connoisseurs will be moving from Deer Harbor to Hope Lane in Eastsound. Owners say there will be nothing to see or smell outside the sealed building, but response from neighbors has been mixed. Some feel that having a pot production facility near neighborhoods with families is “inappropriate.” See page one for more on this story. San Juan Sun Grown, a producer located on San Juan Island, has become the poster child for regulatory hurdles after it shut down operations in December 2014. Owners said the cost of looming legal battles and weight of regulatory uncertainty proved too much to overcome. The county hearings examiner overturned the company’s land-use permit and revoked its building permit, ruling that county planners erred by not adequately evaluating impacts of the facility on surrounding properties. The San Juan County Council has been getting pressure from the public to reconsider its approach to permitting marijuana-related facili-ties since I-502 was first approved. Common concerns are noise, odor, traffic and pesticide use.In January of this year, the council held a workshop to consider impos-ing a six-month moratorium on building permits for marijuana facili-ties. In a 3-0 decision, the council voted to disengage from its pursuit of the moratorium – but primarily because it would have also targeted greenhouses. In March, the Department of Community Development was tasked with drafting greenhouse regulations. The discussions included members of the San Juan County Agricultural Resource Committee and Health and Human Services and local farmers. It was presented at a public meeting in early September on San Juan Island, and members of the 30-plus audience voiced their frustration over the process. This week, the council announced it is putting the proposed greenhouse regulations on hold, citing public comment and more pressing land-use topics as the reasons. We are a county that is deeply rooted in agriculture. There are “open space” tax breaks for farmers, but we won’t support a potentially lucra-tive new crop because of noise, odor and traffic concerns? The smell of pot is less odoriferous than chicken or pig manure. We applaud the county in its recent decision to abandon the greenhouse regulations. According to Councilman Rick Hughes, the council is currently working on draft regulations for marijuana production. We are looking forward to seeing what those encompass – we agree there should be standards for grow operations. We hope islanders can accept this new frontier. It’s time to accept that the production and sale of marijuana is legal in Washington state. For a website that keeps track of marijuana taxes in our county, go to http://502data.com/. In regards to the new operation going in on Hope Lane, we think it’s a reasonable location. There is already a brewery and other light indus-trial businesses in the area. If parents are concerned, it’s a great oppor-tunity to discuss with them the realities of marijuana (and alcohol) use.

FILM FROM 1

by ASHLEY RANDALLFarm to Cafeteria Coordinator

Saturday morning, Sept. 12, marked the sixth Farm to Cafeteria Program Fifth Season event where five Orcas Island farms delivered organically grown produce to the school.

Boxes brimming with chard, car-rots, beets, tomatoes, garlic, pears, squash, potatoes, basil, green beans, cucumbers and plums from Taproot, Smiling Dog, Coffelt, Black Dog, Morning Star and hundreds of pounds of apples from Phyllis Heningson’s

orchard quickly filled the shelves of the walk-in refrigerator in the newly remodeled school cafeteria kitchen.

Madie Murray and Debbie Guilford graciously greeted first-time and returning volunteers to the event. With prep stations set up, aprons tied on, and knives in hands, 10 volunteers from the community were ready to slice-and-dice, bag and freeze.

In the new kitchen space, beets were chopped, tomatoes were sliced, and the new culinary arts room acted as the apple and plum station where apples were rinsed, paired and bagged

up with intentions of providing stu-dents with applesauce and apple crisp throughout the fall months. The three tasty varieties of plums required per-sistence as volunteers pitted each plum by hand.

As the afternoon came to an end, conversations centered around how fortunate the Farm to Cafeteria Program is to have the support of local farmers who provide nourish-ing local goods and the community members who offer their time for the benefit of our island students.

I am a lifelong Orcas Island native, born here in 1985. I enjoy a very good, stable, government-regulat-ed job working for Aarikka Tuss and Max Brand at NW Connoisseurs, an I-502 compliant marijuana pro-ducer/processor. I would like to share some feelings as an individual.

The expression of the recent community opposi-tion to NW Connoisseurs’ move from 82 Lagoon Road in Deer Harbor to our prop-erty on 46 Hope Lane in Eastsound has disappointed me as a local. Very, very few parties have contacted our business voicing their concerns to us personally,

visited our facility or even learned who owns the busi-ness and who works here. Nine of us work here, all locals and almost all raised here, and we all stand to lose our livelihoods and more if we were to be denied the opportunity to move to our new property. To have so much opposition based on misinformation and fear can be discouraging (especially to us kids who grew up here) and while we don’t expect every person to agree with the changing laws or with what we’re doing, we are accessible and contributing members of this community and are here to answer any questions.

Our team has sacrificed immense time and effort to

build this company; tremen-dous funds have been put forth to keep up with the latest technology and com-ply with every government and county regulation that applies to us. We take pride in being a very transparent business and every member of our team would be happy to address any concerns or queries that people might have. This is new territory for all of us and we expect a certain amount of trepida-tion from some community members.

I hope that the persons in the community who have concerns will consider con-tacting NW Connoisseurs directly for more facts rather than using misinformation to fuel petitions and hurt-

ful rumors. There is also a wealth of information online about the I-502 regulations that might be informative and helpful for those against our move to Hope Lane.

I am very passionate about this company, which was founded by people I grew up with and believe in. For every concern we’ve heard through the grapevine, we’ve already had a plan in place to address it. We care about this community quite a lot and we would prefer to have an open dialogue instead of a battle from the beginning. Every business in this county deserves the respect of direct commu-nication, regardless of per-sonal opinions on any part.

The Orcas Island Education Foundation is sponsoring a wrapping paper fundraiser that is set to kick-off the week of Sept. 21. The proceeds from the campaign will go to support art classes in the public schools.

With so little public funding, schools across the country are now relying more on private funds and patrons of the arts to provide creative outlets for students. One of the com-mittees of OIEF is “A-OK” (“Art for Orcas Kids”).

A-OK brings local artists to class-rooms in the elementary and the middle school to inspire students and help them bring the visual arts to life through age-appropriate projects.

Last year, students K-6 had 16 weeks of art class.

“This year we want to ensure that our students have the same experi-ence,” say organizers.

This fall, OIEF has partnered with Innisbrook, a company that shares the

islands' community sense of environ-mental awareness. Up to 50 percent of every wrapping paper sale will go toward supporting art in the schools. All standard gift wrap is printed on premium recycled paper, inks are 100 percent water-soluble, and no card-board cores are included to minimize waste.

“The quality is impressive and there is convenient, online ordering,” say organizers. “Off-island families and friends can support your student's fundraising efforts.”

In addition to incentives and priz-es offered by Innisbrook, OIEF will award the top-selling class a pizza party.

The top-selling student will receive a $50 gift certificate from Darvill’s Bookstore.

outdoor pool.A 2014 survey done on

behalf of the American Red Cross showed that only 56 percent of Americans can perform the five core swim-ming skills – that means 44 percent don't know basic water-safety skills.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every day around 10 people die from unintentional drowning. Of these, two are children aged 14 or younger. Drowning ranks fifth among the lead-ing causes of unintentional injury death in the United

States.“Living in the Northwest,

where we are surrounded by water, being safe on the water is a commitment that we make,” said Jan Bretana, who is the director of aquat-ics for YMCA of Greater Seattle. “Watching the pro-gression of these kids from year to year is so exciting.”

For the Orcas course, Bretana chooses her best teachers from the 14

branches that she oversees. “The instructors leave

very enriched,” she said. “It's a neat, reciprocal program. Everybody wins.”

Bretana says she would like to bring the teachers up several times a year and even offer sessions in the sound.

“The pool has warm, con-trolled water,” she said. “The next step is to take them out in the ocean.”

For three days in October, more than two dozen farms and farm-related businesses on Lopez, Orcas and San Juan Island will be open to the public, with dem-onstrations on everything from apple cider pressings to sheep shearing.

Lopez IslandThe Lopez tours span two

days. On Oct. 10, the smell of fresh baked scones from a woodfired oven will greet you at Barn Owl Bakery on

Midnight’s Farm, where you can tour a department of ecology-approved compost facility, and look through the microscope into the world of microbiology. At Wet Wool Farm and Island Fibers, watch a sheep dog demonstration, learn about the breeds of sheep on the farm, their fleeces, and meat qualities, followed by a tour of Island Fibers.

At the 55-acre biodynam-ic S&S Homestead Farm, learn how the farm inte-grates plant and animal pro-duction, visit the gardens, dairy and cheese facility, fol-lowed by a wood-fired pizza lunch. At Sweet Grass Farm, learn how to make a dura-ble and flexible raised bed for gardening; fill it with a compost mix for growing your crops or flowers, all without tilling. Sunnyfield Farm is the islands’ newest licensed Grade A Raw Milk Goat Dairy, certified since November of 2014. You can tour the goat dairy and taste the fresh cheese with apples from the farm’s trees.

On Oct. 11, some of the earlier tours and workshops will repeat, with additional options. Join the bakers at Barn Owl Bakery and follow

the path from grain to pizza. Another workshop includes pasta making at Edenwild Boutique Inn’s kitchen, and a fermentation workshop at Vortex Café.

The culmination of both days of tours will be din-ner. The first night, the Grange will host a barbecue with Helen’s Farm burgers or sausage with Sunnyfield chevre on Barn Owl buns with fresh green salad from Lopez Harvest. Wines from Lopez Island Vineyards will be served, and you can enter a homemade fresh pie in the pie contest. Slices of pie will be sold with funds going to the LIFEschool farm to cafeteria program. The sec-ond night, a 5-course farm-to-table dinner at Edenwild Boutique Inn will feature Lopez Island farms and wines.

Each tour or workshop is prices separately. Tickets are available for cash purchase at each stop, or at www.eventbrite.com. Kids under 12 are free.

Malicious mischiefOn Sept. 4, a 51-year-old

Lopez man was convicted of malicious mischief in the third degree, a gross mis-demeanor requiring six months of time served and $3,011 in restitution. Evan Robard Thorp will serve three months in jail and three months on work crew.

Officers first responded to a hit and run complaint on Jan. 20. According to court documents, the com-plainant, who owns an auto-mobile mechanic shop on Lopez, said he had left a truck with the keys in the ignition for a customer to pick up after hours. The complainant said this was “a common practice of his as a courtesy to his customers.” The next morning the truck was in the same place but with damage to the front.

On Jan. 30, Thorp called the complainant to tell him that he had borrowed the truck under the impression that it was his friend’s truck, and did not know at the time it belonged to someone else. He offered to pay, and the complainant told him it was in the process of being fixed and to call back the following week.

Thorp told sheriff ’s offi-cers that during the early morning hours of Jan. 20 he had been driving to the ferry landing to catch a boat to Orcas when he “opened and shut his car door and slammed his fin-ger with the car door when he closed it.” As a result, his car went into the ditch. He then used the truck, located at the mechanic shop down the road, to pull out his car, damaging the front in the process. The owner of the truck stated to officers that he did not know Thorp.

Attempted assaultOn Sept. 11, a 40-year-old

Lopez man has been con-victed of attempted assault in the second degree with a deadly weapon after enter-ing an Alford plea. The defi-nition of an Alford plea is that the criminal defendant does not admit the act, but admits that the prosecu-tion could likely prove the charge.

Christopher D. Stovall will serve four months total: two months of work crew and two months of electron-ic home detention. Stovall was originally charged April 24, 2014 for assault in the

second degree with a fire-arm and rape of a child in the third degree, the second charge was dropped and the first charge was amended to an attempted assault in the second degree.

According to the pros-ecutor’s office, recreating the timeline played a large role in why the rape of a child charges were dropped. Prosecutors say they had difficulties proving the age of the victim at the time because the alleged assault was reported years after the incident. In Washington, 16 is the age of consent.

The initial charges stemmed from allegations of incidents in 2012 and 2013 between Stovall and the alleged victim. In the first meeting in May 2012, the two allegedly met at a hotel in Burlington where Stovall, then 36, gave the then-15-year-old a tattoo. According to the prosecu-tor’s sentencing memoran-dum, Stovall began to send the victim aggressive mes-sages online, and she agreed to meet again. Also in that memorandum the two allegedly had sex during a second visit on Lopez.

In the third meeting in January 2013 on Orcas Island, he began giving her a second tattoo, which ended, according to court docu-ments, in him pointing a gun at her after she allegedly refused his sexual advances.

According to initial charging documents, Stovall admitted to taking his .380 automatic handgun out of his bag and indicated that he fired the gun outside at the time of the incident. The state’s sentencing memoran-dum stated Stovall told the detective: “I was in love with her. I thought we would be together forever.” The docu-ments said he admitted to pulling out a gun and that “she was scared.” According to the defendant’s sentenc-ing memorandum, Stovall had alcohol abuse issues.

On Sept. 17, the Lady Vikings Volleyball team began their season with a loss against league power-house LaConner, 3-0.

“We started the regu-lar season with a loss to LaConner,” said Coach Rebekah Hardee. “Bethany Hansen’s solid serving and consistent passing along with superb play by Katy Minnis helped us kept up with them in the first set. I was very proud of my girls, they played hard to the end and never gave up.”

The Vikings play Friday Harbor, Concrete and Coupeville this week.

On Sept. 19, the Viking cross country team compet-ed at South Whidbey High School.

“The kids have all improved and are a great deal faster than when we started off a month ago,” said Coach Steve Hohman. “We had five runners that ran their first mile under their personal season best: Millie Kau, Brother Murphy, Michael Chesher, Cyrus Amour and Stephen Hohman Jr. We hope to see improvement on a week to week basis.”

On Sept, 10, the boys Viking Soccer team opened the season with a loss 4-0 against last year’s state champions, Mt. Vernon Christian.

“We knew it would be a

tough and physical game,” said Head coach Matt Stolmeier. “We played well and maintained more pos-session. Unfortunately, about 20 minutes into the game senior Wylie Kau suf-fered a knee injury from a reckless challenge which put him out for the remainder of the game. Our defense proved strong through most of the game.”

On Sept. 12, the Vikings won their home opener against Lopez 5-0 and on Sept. 15, continued win-ning with a 3-1 victory over Cedar Park Christian.

The boys soccer team plays Shoreline Christian, Grace Academy and Friday Harbor this week.

On Sept. 15, the Lady Vikings soccer team played a strong game against Mt. Vernon Christian in a 2-1 loss.

A Hurricane corner kick lobbed in front of the Viking goal was knocked in for the first goal 5 minutes into the first half, but a Mt. Vernon Christian penalty in their goalie box lead to a Viking penalty kick by Adia Dolan, evening the score 1-1.

With 28 minutes remain-ing in the second half, the Vikings let a Hurricane forward slip by the defense for the lead goal, making the score 2-1, but disci-plined play by the Vikings shut down the formida-ble Hurricane offense the remainder of the game.

Despite the loss, it was a moral victory for the Vikings as the Orcas Ladies displayed one of the stron-gest performances against one of the best teams in the league.

The Vikings play LaConner, Friday Harbor and Coupeville this week.

The Vikings football team lost 40-38 in a league slug-fest with Concrete Friday night under the lights at the Lions’ field.

“We started out the first quarter with three turn-overs, which turned into 16 points for the Lions,” said Coach Justin Frausto. “A Viking fumble recovery by Ricky De Anda turned the momentum for us which lead to a Miles Harlow to Cameron Aragon touch-down. After an Ivan Bullock fumble recovery, we drove the field scored on a Vinny Kramer touchdown run,

ending the first quarter tied 16-16.”

In the second quarter Frausto said Harlow had a pivotal interception which led to a touchdown pass to Pasha Bullock, giving the Vikings the edge at half 24-16. The teams traded touchdowns in the third quarter. With about 3:30

left in the game, the Lions had fought back, but still trailed 38-32. But Concrete scored again with 54 sec-onds remaining and com-pleted the two point conver-sion, giving the Lions the lead, 40-38. Undaunted, the Vikings’ hurry up offense moved the ball to the Lions’ 3-yard line, but fell just

short after a game ending interception.

“Our team played its heart out,” said Frausto. “The game had everything; the ups, downs, highs and lows.”

The Vikings play a non-league away game this week against Tacoma Baptist.

share borders, and history. All three farms were home-steaded to grow fruit, from apples and pears to plums and now kiwi and Asian pears. On this tour, you can walk between the farms, talk to the farmers and pur-chase fruit and press cider to take home.

On Oct. 11 from noon to 4 p.m., you can tour the 20-acre Sweet Earth Farm, with farmers Elaine Kendall and Amanda Zee, and see the diverse fruit orchard, abundant market garden and livestock. Just through across the field and through the trees, is Mitchell Bay Farm, established in 1900. The farmers Colleen Howe and Bruce Gregory will dis-cuss the commercial kiwi and Asian pear orchard, sheep and holistic manage-ment practices. Enjoy fresh brewed teas and home-baked cookies.

A short walk takes you to nearby Lacrover Farm, once part of a large family home-stead from the late 1900s, and protected by a conser-vation easement through the San Juan Preservation Trust. It is now owned by Paul Lacrampe, Katie Hover and their son, Quinn.

A ticket price of $25 pp (children under 12 half-price) provides free farm tours plus San Juan Island Cheese Ploughman’s Lunchbox.

Visit Westcott Bay Cider and San Juan Island Distillery, located a short distance to the north, to

tour the cider orchard and distillery. “Taste the spirits of the San Juan Islands” at the distillery from 1 to 4 p.m.

Orcas Island Last year, four Orcas

farms welcomed more than 125 people to their barns and fields. Organizers Charles Dalton and Kathy Morris were excited by the interest.

This year, more than a dozen farms and farm-relat-ed businesses have jumped on the hay cart, with dem-onstrations that include sheep shearing, wool spin-ning, seed saving, and see-ing worms at work in a worm bin building demo. This free, self-guided tour starts with a brunch avail-able at The Kitchen in Eastsound, where you can pick up maps (or clip them out of the island newspa-pers) to follow the route to the farms, which will have colorful flags flying to mark the stops.

Farms along the way – starting out by the ferry landing and mov-ing towards town and out beyond Doe Bay – include Morningstar Farm, Warm Valley Farm will show how to spin wool from the sheep they raise. At Red Rabbit Farm, Christina Orchid will show her cookhouse kitchen and offer tastes of her perserves and sauces. If you are looking for cute farm animals, the residents of Orcas Moon Alpacas are the stop for you; farmers Amy Lumm and Jennifer

Pietsch will also offer a chicken slaughter demon-stration, where $50 gives you a bird to take home as well. Historic Coffelt Farm will give tours. At Kai Dawg Farm, Caitlin Herlihy will talk about their new project Orcas Community Participatory Agriculture. See a sheep shearing dem-onstration at West Beach Farm.

In town, Smith and Speed Mercantile will be open to share and discuss their hand-forged farming tools. Audra Lawlor of Girl Meets Dirt will offer tastes of preserves made from fruit gleaned from historic island orchards in her new tasting room.

The tour then winds out to Buck Bay Shellfish Farm, where Toni Hermanson will talk about the process of growing and harvesting oys-ters and clams. Tours at Doe Bay Garden and Taproot Farm will then lead you to Orcas Farm, where George Orser will host a farmers’ potluck soiree. There will be Hogstone’s Wood Oven pizzas, a Lion’s Club/Island Hoppin’ Brewery beer gar-den and fun music to cap off this big day behind the scenes at the farms.

The San Juan Shuttle will be available for $8 for the day, and will loop around to the farms. Car-pooling or shuttle use is encouraged. The Orcas Senior Center will also be offering a shut-tle for seniors interested in attending the tour.

about what the facility will be like.

On June 21, NWC’s cur-rent landlords Corey and Sandra Cookston submitted a letter and photos to the public commenting process on NWC’s pending permit, alleging that the grow oper-ation had devalued their property by not repairing broken windows and doors, having improper fencing, damaging the septic system and more.

The letter was also passed out in tandem with a peti-tion started by a concerned Eastsound neighbor seek-ing to stop the permitting process.

Tuss called the landlord’s allegations “heinous,” and NWC employee Adam Parkerson stated that the photographs in the let-ter were “all opportunistic shots of temporary stacks of plant pots or equipment that may have been only there for minutes.”

Contrary to the tone of the letter, Corey Cookston said that he is not against marijuana production.

“We aren’t opposed to I-502 but we think it needs to be represented better,” Cookston said. “We haven’t had good experiences the last year and a half, and we feel the new location is really inappropriate being where it is at in a dense residential.”

Amanda Sparks, a resi-dent of the Hope Lane neighborhood, said she is concerned about the allega-tions regarding the former neighborhood.

“I’m concerned about the impacts of a large scale operation so close to our neighborhood,” Sparks said.

“I don’t know how it will affect our community. I’m forming my opinion based on the information provid-ed by the operation where they last operated.”

Business neighbor Jenny Welch of Lotioncrafter LLC will be bordering the prop-erty that NWC will be mov-ing to and is also concerned.

“It has become abun-dantly clear more specific regulations need to be in place at the county level that address these operations and the by-products of their production,” Welch said. “The citizens have a right to recourse in the event these grow operations fail to con-trol emissions, or otherwise impact the environment and their immediate neigh-bors, be they homes or busi-nesses.”

Welch has concerns that the smell will affect her business and that the pro-jected amount of marijuana compost is a “gross under-estimate.” Welch is one of 65 that has signed a peti-tion circulating around the neighborhood.

General concerns are that the state does not required NWC to regulate smell pol-lution, concern of compost-ing of marijuana byprod-ucts, increased traffic at late hours as recorded in the landlord report and the location of the business, which is near a neighbor-hood of families with chil-dren. The petition states the business should be on agriculture land away from neighborhoods.

“As a business owner whose land borders the pro-posed building site, I am gravely concerned about the impact a poorly run operation will have on the future of my business and of this entire neighborhood,” Welch said. “Agricultural

operations of this nature are not light industrial by any means and should be in the countryside, away from residential areas and other businesses they can and will impact.”

The new location for NWC will be next to Island Hoppin’ Brewery, Orcas Island Animal Shelter, Orcas Auto Tech, Lotioncrafter LLC and other businesses in a light industrial zoning area.

Kt Hendrie, board presi-dent for animal shelter, visited NWC operations in Deer Harbor to speak with the business.

“Once I heard there was not going be any smell or runoff I welcomed them as neighbors,” Hendrie said.

Owner of NWC Max Brand’s family has been on the island for about 20 years, and his father Heinz Brand has owned multiple food service business in the area including his current busi-ness Enzo’s Italian Caffe. Heinz is also the sales asso-ciate for NW Connoisseurs.

Tuss said that there are multiple misconceptions about the business, such as Heinz being the owner, that their current location is on Mount Baker Road and that they will be installing a greenhouse at the new loca-tion. Tuss said that there will be no greenhouses, and that there will be nothing to see or smell outside the sealed building. Since NW Connoisseurs is permitted for producing and process-ing only, there will be no retail operation or selling of product on the grounds. In addition, Tuss said that the move will be an example of a marijuana grow operation that isn’t in an agricultural setting.

“As our operating plan, that’s not the way we’re doing it,” Tuss said. “We’re not a greenhouse, we’re not doing natural light. By going to a light industrial place, we’re trying to show that it can be agricultural or it can be industrial, it just depends on how you set up the facilities.”

The county council is currently working on draft regulations of marijuana production. According to county council member Rick Hughes, since noth-ing has been voted on, no county marijuana regula-tion will be used on the NWC facility. He pointed out that marijuana legaliza-tion passed by 68 percent by voters in the county, the highest in the state.

The Concerto Project has announced the launch of a $10 million capital cam-paign to fund the purchase of Mount Baker Farm and Scenic Railroad on Orcas and the construction of five homes for staff and partici-pants. The Concerto Project started in 2013 to create a living and learning residen-tial transition program in the Pacific Northwest. Its mission is to provide young adults on the autism spec-trum with the vocational, social and practical skills necessary for sustainable living through a two-year program. In addition to self-advocacy, Concerto’s programs will teach young residents to modify their environments to suit their needs; to seek friendships that will support them; to develop the daily liv-ing skills they need to be healthy and settled; and to find gainful work that will sustain them.

“The Concerto Project presents a valuable oppor-tunity that helps to meet the increasing needs of young adults on the autism spec-trum,” said Kristine Lytton,

House Majority Floor Leader, Washington State Legislature. “It will address a huge gap by providing vital services that develop the skills of this under-served population.”

Mount Baker Farm is 80 acres and was origi-nally a dairy farm. In the 1980s, Burton A. Burton and his wife, Rosie, moved to Orcas Island, where they transformed the farm into a unique wonderland that includes a full-gauge rail-road that runs the perimeter of the property, complete with train stations.

The site already includes a community kitchen and dining room, classroom space, meeting rooms, woodworking and mechan-ical shops, a huge barn, a gymnasium, a silo con-ference room, stables and paddocks, caretakers’ quar-ters, parent guest accom-modations, and much more. By utilizing the exist-ing facilities at the farm, The Concerto Project has reduced its original budget by $2 million.

The Concerto Project will provide “a program for mid-

to higher-functioning 18- to 25-year-olds that addresses the gap between high school graduation and sustainable adult living,” according to the Project’s Executive Director, Marian O’Brien, parent of a 22-year-old daughter on the spectrum.

Concerto is recruiting staff in occupational ther-apy, speech and language, medicine, nutrition, psy-chology, social skills devel-opment, vocational sup-ports, special education, therapeutic arts and music, computer applications, graphic arts and intellectual property development.

Executive Director O’Brien and her husband, Keith Whitaker, are hope-ful that Mount Baker Farm is within reach of The Concerto Project.

Despite a 3-1 loss in five sets, the Saints showed well against the Rockets with team wide contribu-tions. Caitlin Fowler led OCS with six kills. Alaena Commrie added four kills and four blocks to the stat line. Moriah Clause ended the contest with three kills and one block of her own. Maelle Commrie contrib-uted six aces and Amy Albright tallied five.

“We did well with work-ing together and on our rotations,” said Fowler. “But we need to improve on our

serves, calling the ball and trusting our team because volleyball is a team sport.”

The Saints are in their second year as a WIAA affiliated program and play in the Northwest 1B confer-ence.

In their 12-game regular season schedule, the Saints

will play Tulalip Heritage, Lopez Island, Arlington Christian, Grace Academy, Lummi Nation, Providence Classical and Skykomish High schools.

Camp Orkila’s Fall Festival and Haunted Hay Ride will be on Saturday, Oct. 17 from 1 to 5:30 p.m.

They’ll have hot dogs, soup, chili and cider to warm you up. You’ll be able to partici-pate in pumpkin carving,

cider-pressing, face paint-ing, archery, climbing at the Climbing Tower, games, and much more.

Would you like to ride the 1000-foot Zipline dur-ing Fall Festival? It will be a drop-in activity this year. Meet at the lower end of the zipline for a briefing and know that children must be in third grade or older to participate, and the maxi-mum weight capacity for a single rider is 285 lbs. Each participant must have a par-ent present to sign release waiver.

At 5 p.m., hop aboard for

a fun hay ride around the farm – suitable for younger children.

For older children and adults, take a ride on the legendary, fear-inducing Haunted Hay Ride, leaving every 20 minutes from 7 to 8:45 p.m.

This is a family event, thus Orkila would like to encourage all children and groups to be accompanied by an adult, and remember that there will be families including small children in attendance.

All food and activities are free.

Fall festival at Camp OrkilaJoin the Orcas Island Library as they celebrate the 2015

Banned Books Week.Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the

freedom to read. Typically held during the last week of September, it highlights the value of free and open access to information.

Banned Books Week brings together the entire book community – librarians, booksellers, publishers, journal-ists, teachers, and readers of all types – in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular.

By focusing on efforts across the country to remove or restrict access to books, Banned Books Week draws nation-al attention to the harms of censorship. Check out the fre-quently challenged books lists at the library to explore the issues and controversies around book challenges and book banning.

The books featured during “Banned Books Week” have all been targeted with removal or restrictions in libraries and schools. While books have been and continue to be banned, part of the Banned Books Week celebration is the fact that, in a majority of cases, the books have remained available.

“This happens only thanks to the efforts of librarians, teachers, students, and community members who stand up and speak out for the freedom to read,” say organizers.

Stop by the library during the week, have a “Banned Book Brownie” and check out a banned book.

Orcas impresario Roger Sherman will treat islanders to an Orcas Currents lecture on “Harmony of the Spheres: the Music of the Cosmos” on Thursday, Sept. 24.

Encompassing music, mathematics, nature, science and history, his multifac-eted presentation will begin at 5:30 pm in the Orcas Island Community Church on Madrona Street in Eastsound.

Sherman is known to many of us as the Artistic Director of the Orcas Choral Society, which under his leadership has taken on such challenging choral works as Bach’s Mass in B Minor, Handel’s Messiah, and Mozart’s Requiem. He is also Associate

Organist at Saint Mark’s Cathedral in Seattle and host of the weekly Organ Loft radio program broadcast on KING-FM.

In his Orcas Currents lecture, Roger will explore relationships between num-bers and such diverse human activities as music, architecture, astronomy cosmology and religion. To ancient Greeks, the word “cosmos” meant the inherent orderliness of the natural world, which found expression in the mathematical discoveries of philoso-phers such as Pythagoras about geometry, proportion and musical harmony.

This tradition in western philoso-phy has been extended by scientists such as Johannes Kepler, who in 1619 wrote Harmonices Mundi (Harmonies of the Worlds). It finds expression today in string theories of elementary particles and the “Theories of Everything” based on them.

Sherman’s lecture is cosponsored by Coates Vineyards and the Orcas Island Public Library. Please join Orcas Currents supporters and friends for what prom-ises to be a stimulating, wide-ranging talk about what it means to be human. As always admission is free but donations are welcome.

Early days of Orcas Island GrangeBy: LINDA PETH

Orcas Island Historical MuseumIn the early days there were eleven

schools on Orcas Island. By 1887 three school districts were formed with the Central School in District 7 serving the communities of Orcas, West Sound and Deer Harbor. � e original school build-ing was in what is now the kitchen area of the Orcas Island Grange. � e Central school was closed in the 1920’s when the districts were consolidated.

� e Orcas Island Grange was meet-ing in the West Sound Hall and the members de-cided they wanted to own their own hall. Ethel Auld was at the meeting. She produced a bar of soap from her purse and this was immedi-ately auctioned o� for 65 cents. � is was the start of the building fund. George Keys went to see a number of men who intended to bid on the property, among them Frank Kercho� , Dave Nicol and Jack Anthony. Since he intended to bid on behalf of the Grange these men all agreed not to submit bids. � e build-ing was purchased by the Grange from School District No.137 June 7,1938 for the sum of one hundred twenty-six dollars.

On July 27, 1940 the Grange Hall was dedicated with distinguished guests State Grange Master Ervin E. King, Senator Leroy L. Todd, Skagit County assisted by H.P. Walrath, � rst Mas-ter also past Masters Chester Martin,

Culver Willis, George Keys with Master Amos Co� elt giving a short history of Grange life, which was organized Janu-ary 19, 1931 by Bro. O.C. Wisner.

In the early 1940’s the Grange in-creased the size of the former school with a 40 � x 60 � annex under the direction of Ray Pinneo and many vol-unteers. � e new maple � oor was ready for the “Hard Time” costume party “on Saturday evening October 13, 1945 to celebrate the completion of the com-

munity project for the jolly crowd of fun loving friends who helped make this much needed com-munity playhouse”.

In the mid 1980’s musician Terry

Anderson and friends visualized a revitalization of the Grange for a Youth Center to play and record music, make videos and work on art, a home away from home. In mid 1990’s Bob Waunch of the new Orcas Community Founda-tion awarded money for materials to upgrade the rundown old building with a new look and enthusiastic volunteers descended upon the Grange. With ad-ditional funds changes were made and the teen center opened on Saturdays for four years.

� e Grange continues to be a com-munity gathering place for plays, music and socials.

“We want to give some organically grown melons to your school, and spend some time with the kids telling them how they are grown and how to save the seeds for planted

in the school garden next year.” Music to our ears!Those words were from Robin Shurtleff

Coates and her husband Norman who, last Friday, delivered about 30 Crimson Sweet melons to our public school. They also spent two hours in the school garden with Mandy Randolph’s Farm to Classroom kids, letting them smell, taste and learn all about the delicious melons they personally raised on their organic farm in Humbolt County.

“It was a great day,” Robin said. “It was definitely a highlight in the garden for the kids,” Mandy commented afterwards. "We’ll be sharing the rest of the melons and les-sons with more of the Farm to Classroom kids next week.”

Our sincere thanks to Robin and Norman for the many gifts they have given to our program. And having them actually partici-pate with the kids was particularly special.

It is time for the annual Orcas all-kid talent show “Whale of a Show” on Saturday, Sept. 26 at 6:30 p.m. at Orcas Center.

Directed by Didier Gincig and crew, this annual event is an opportunity to see talented island youth (ages three to 18) perform on the big stage. Didier and his daughter Emilie have hosted the show since its inception

almost a decade ago. The enthusiastic audience expe-rience for young perform-ers encourages and supports their talents which include singing, dancing, skits, and musicianship. Family acts are included too.

Several performers, Stormy Hildreth included, have been participating for years, while for some this is their very first time on

stage. “We see these kids as they

grow up, perfect their craft, and get better every year,” said Didier. “Whale of a Show offers the opportu-nity for children to become comfortable on stage in front of an audience.”

All ticket proceeds ben-efit Orcas Center’s youth programs.

Tickets for Whale of a Show are $8 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 2 p.m.

For more information about Orcas Center 2015 season events, visit www.orcascenter.org.

Subsidized tickets for $5 are available at the Box Office.

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 office 360-394-8704, your local police department,

or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney General’s office.
