Elections are often about change.

San Juan County voters dem-onstrated an overwhelming eager-ness for it in the administration of their sheriff ’s office.

In a first-ever bid for public office, deputy Ron Krebs gained an insurmountable lead on elec-tion night and, after the ballot-counting dust had settled, earned a four-year term at the top of the county’s most visible law enforce-ment agency with a runaway win in a hotly contested sheriff ’s race.

Krebs, an eight-year veteran of the force and former deputy guild president, amassed 4,736 of 7,393 votes cast in the 2014 sheriff ’s contest, a 64 percent margin of victory. The sheriff-elect proved a hot commodity even before final results were tallied.

“My phone literally exploded,” Krebs said. “I’ve gotten a lot of calls from a lot of different depart-ment heads, like the prosecutor and auditor, and I’ll be meeting with all of them as soon as we can. There’s a transition that needs to take place.”

The sheriff-elect will be sworn into office at the beginning of the new year, along with the winners of all other local races. He will be joined by the winners of the only two other contested county races,

Joan White, reelected to a third term as county clerk, and first-time public office seeker and now treasurer-elect Rhonda Pederson.

The 47-year-old Krebs will inherit a department of about 35 employees and a yearly budget of $4.9 million, including $2.7 mil-lion for department operations, $1 million for dispatch, $800,00 for emergency management and nearly $400,000 earmarked for jail expenses. At full staffing, the department consists of 21 deputies, detectives and field corrections officers, nine dispatch employees and four other employees.

A non-partisan position, the sheriff earns an annual salary of $103,595.

From the outset, Krebs cam-paigned aggressively, pulling few punches and contending that a lack of leadership and communi-cation by his opponent, Sheriff Rob Nou, had led to sagging morale within departmental ranks. An unprecedented and near unani-mous endorsement of his election bid by the deputy’s guild appeared to bolster the planks of the Krebs’ campaign.

Although a relative newcomer to law enforcement at the local level, Krebs maintains that his leadership and administrative skills, honed in private industry (he’s a former senior manager for Les Schwab) and as a deputy and emergency first-responder, will

translate well into managing the sheriff ’s department.

“Leadership is leadership and administration is administration regardless of the field you’re in,” he said. “It’s the same no mat-ter where you are. In business, it’s about your customers. At the sheriff ’s office, we’re here to serve the public.”

Results of the 2014 election sig-nal a reversal of fortune in just four years time for first-term incum-bent Rob Nou. In 2010, he drew 66 percent of the vote to become San Juan County’s first new sheriff in more than two decades, succeed-ing Bill Cumming.

Nou came into the 2014 cam-paign carrying a long list of law enforcement credentials. A gradu-ate of the FBI academy, he joined the sheriff ’s department in 2008 as a Lopez Island-based deputy and with 33 years of law enforcement experience in tow, including four years as police chief in Burns, Ore., and long tenure as an administra-tive sergeant in Oregon’s Yamhill County.

In his reelection bid, however, he came into the campaign with a record to run on, or to run against (Nou, reportedly on vacation until early next week, was unavailable for comment).

Although Krebs won in a land-slide, not all voters showed an eagerness for change. Nou out-polled his opponent in landslide-

like numbers in his former back-yard. Voters in Lopez Island’s two precincts preferred reelection of the incumbent by a combined total of 1,066 to 239 votes.

With a first-ever election win in hand and two months in which to prepare to take the helm, Krebs cited communication as key to a smooth transition and in uphold-ing promises made on the cam-paign trail.

“It’ll be more of an informa-

tion gathering effort to start,” he said. “I’ll sit down with all the major department heads and other agencies that rely on the sheriff ’s office, like emergency services, fire departments and DVSAS, to find out how we can better serve them.”

San Juan County election resultsSan Juan County voters have approved a

renewal of the Proposition 1 levy lid lift. The renewal will end in 2020 and produce the same amount of revenue as the current levy, which is set to expire in 2015. The measure earned 61.74 percent and 4,732 yes votes out of 7,664 total.

The levy is 18 cents per $1,000 assessed value. The amount generated is 20 percent of the county’s general fund property tax.

The money will go toward senior services on all three major islands; Washington State University extension programs; operation of county parks; support for county fair; pub-lic health services on all three islands; work release program; victim services; emergency

management services; maintenance of county buildings and grounds and Islands’ Oil Spill Association equipment assistance.

Orcas Island voters approved Orcas School

District’s facilities and technology moderniza-tion levy at 64.85 percent. The levy is for 2015 through 2020 to provide $500,000 for each of the six years for a total of three million dollars. The tax rate is expected to be 23 cents or less per $1,000 assessed value.

In other election news, the following candi-dates won in contested positions:

• Rick Larsen, Congressional District 2 U.S. Representative, 69.04 percent.

• Kristine Lytton, District 40 State Representative Position 1, 70.21 percent.

• Joan White, San Juan County Clerk, 68.4 percent.

• Rhonda Peterson, San Juan County Treasurer, 55.21 percent.

Rainer Rey, a 12-year res-ident of Eastsound, is back with a new thriller that will

hit store shelves Nov. 11. “Cosmosis” is a sprawl-

ing action-adventure story that takes place as nations struggle to control a mys-terious renewable energy source.

While portions of the book take place in Washington, of particular interest to islanders should be Rey’s second novel due on Jan. 20 titled “The Find,” which is set almost entirely on Orcas Island.

In the book, ex-FBI agent Kellen Rand teams up with Lorna Novak, a high-pow-ered broadcast executive, on the hunt for a missing Native American shaman whose natural psychic abili-ties may be the key to sav-

ing millions of lives.Also being re-released

Jan. 20 are Rey’s two prior novels, “Replicator Run,” a story about the dangers of an Ebola-like virus out-break, and “Day of the Dove,” a tale about nuclear blackmail, which were pub-lished by Random House.

All four of Rey’s books are published by Turner Publishing of New York and Nashville, and are available now for pre-order on amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com and independent bookstores.For more information con-tact: [email protected].

Stitch and Gossip Orcas 98280 just celebrated its 70th anniversary this year.They had an entry in the 4th of July Parade which received “Honorable Mention,” a

display at the library set up by the current President Linda Armstrong and their October luncheon at the Orcas Hotel. The banner for the parade and luncheon was conceived and handmade by Armstrong.

These events were to celebrate and honor 70 years of friendships, projects, raising money, luncheons and community service.

The first meeting occurred on Oct. 4, 1944 and the group was called “The Victory Club.” It was organized by Orcas Red Cross volunteers. By 1947 with World War II over, they felt a new name was needed. Dora Cadden claimed since the ladies all stitched and gossiped, “Stitch and Gossip” would be an appropriate new name.

About half of the present-day group still “stitch” and of course never gossip You are probably more familiar with Stitch buying the wreaths for the ferry landing and the Orcas Post Office, as well as decorating the landing for Christmas which they have been doing for many years. Stitch also raises money and distributes it to people in need or to different charitable organizations on the island.

Mary Schoen is one of the oldest members in standing, having joined in 1951. The group has traditional luncheons every month except summer and offers friendship and fun to their members.

At the Orcas Island Chamber of Commerces’ annual meeting on Oct. 30 at Rosario, business owners and commu-nity members enjoyed socializing, food and presentations from the San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau, Councilman Rick Hughes and Washington State Ferries.

The board also gave out the following awards to community members.

Community Service Award: Hilary Canty of the Orcas Island Community Foundation.

Environmental Excellence Award: Orcas Food Co-op.

Island Friendly Spirit Award for Customer Service: Michell and Doug Marshall of Office Cupboard.

Business Innovation and Creativity Award: Jared Lovejoy of the Barnacle and Orcas Island Film Festival.

When you're related to the first director of the Central Intelligence Agency, you get invited to cool events like award banquets in Washington, D.C.

Orcas High School senior Melanie Flint and her father Norm traveled to the East Coast to see the Honorable Leon Panetta win the William J. Donovan award, an annual decoration given in honor of Melanie's great-great-uncle, Donovan, who is known as the “Father of Central Intelligence.”

“I didn't really know what Donovan did – it was really more just sentimen-tal, knowing he was part of our family … but then there are all these people who were excited to know who I am because of him,” Melanie said.

Donovan was a United States soldier, lawyer, intel-ligence officer and diplo-mat. He is best remem-bered as the wartime head of the Office of Strategic Services, a precursor to the CIA, during World War II. Donovan is the only person to receive the nation’s four highest decora-tions: the Medal of Honor,

the Distinguished Service Cross, the Distinguished Service Medal and the National Security Medal. He is also a recipient of the Silver Star and the Purple Heart.

The OSS Society pres-ents the award to an indi-vidual who has rendered distinguished service to the United States. Its purpose is to recognize someone who has exemplified the distin-guishing features that char-acterized Donovan’s lifetime of public service as a citi-zen and a soldier. Previous winners include Dwight D. Eisenhower, Margaret

Thatcher, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.

This year's winner, Panetta, is a former direc-tor of the CIA and served as the 23rd Secretary of Defense. As director of the CIA, Panetta oversaw the U.S. military operation that led to Osama bin Laden’s death.

Melanie and Norm trav-eled to Washington, D.C. at the end of October to be a part of the festivities. Christopher Pinck, presi-dent of the OSS Society, took Melanie and her dad to a “smaller” dinner the night before the awards banquet.

“At first, it looked really small,” Melanie said. “Then I go through the door and there are nine tables with nine people at each one. There were a lot of really important people in that room.”

The following evening,

she and her dad attended the black-tie awards cer-emony at the Ritz Carlton.

“It was the most unbe-lievable event I have ever attended in my life,” Norm said.

More than 900 people were in attendance. The guest list included war vet-erans, retired spies, former CIA employees and gov-ernment officials. Everyone enjoyed a meal of Julia Childs' most famous recipes and discussions that went on into the wee hours of the morning.

“The banquet was a shock – all the people we had dinner with the night before were at the front of the room, giving toasts and making speeches,” Melanie said. “It was like being at a Seahawks game – everyone was talking and it was so loud. But I still had interest-ing conversations with the people around me.”

Donovan passed away the same year that Norm was born, but his legacy lives on through the OSS Society and family stories.

“Growing up, my grand-mother was taught not to say his name,” Flint said about being related some-one in the CIA. “But now, since it's been more than 50 years, we can talk about it.”

The Flints plan to attend the banquet again next year. Melanie says the experience was incredible and a little strange.

“It's an odd thing to have people applaud you for your heritage,” she said.

At the Orcas Island Elementary Veteran Appreciation Ceremony on Friday, Nov. 7 military service members were honored for their service.

“As a wife of a veteran, thank you for your support of the troops,” said Elementary Principal Kathy Page, who has organized the event for the past two years.

Five elementary students read letters to veterans, thank-ing them for their bravery and for protecting their families and freedom. The fifth and eighth grade choir sang and the Community Band played patriotic tunes. Tom Ritter, who joined the Navy in 1954, spoke about his family members that served in the Civil War, World War I and World War II.

“One reason we feel so safe is that the military has suf-fered to keep us free,” he said.

The ceremony comes at a pivotal time not just because Veterans Day was on Nov. 11 but because of the major pullout happening in key bases in Afghanistan. It remains unclear what will happen to the country that the U.S. has been at war with for 13 years. For these elementary chil-dren the larger picture of the war may not be clear, but it is evident that despite the unstable future of Afghanistan they view U.S. service members at the ultimate heroes. For more photos of the ceremony, visit www.islandssounder.com.

Vets honored at Orcas School

Orcas Elementary is holding a pre-school screening this month. Kids can participate in counting, sorting, hopping, talking and ABCs. Children may be eligible for monitor-ing or targeted interventions. There will be quick centers set up to guide children through enjoyable pre-academic, motor and speech/language activities and answer parent questions. The event will be at Orcas Elementary School, Room 411 on Tuesday, Nov. 18. The sessions will last approximately 45 minutes. To schedule an appointment call Roann at 376-2286.

Reach out to a veteran before it’s too late

Share the warmthOctober usually encourages us to

pull our sweaters, scarves and boots out of the back of the closet to meet the chill in the air. How many of you noticed that this year was dif-ferent? There was a new warmth in the air all over the islands with the most heat radiating from Friday Harbor Espresso. That’s because owner Mark Brokman agreed to take the challenge to “Share the Warmth to Help Stop the Violence”. During the month of October, Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services of the San Juan Island challenged all of us to donate a quarter every time we enjoyed a warm drink. Everywhere, at home, work and play, the noisy sound of coins and the soft flutter of dollar bills could be heard dropping into cups, jars or “baggies” to save and send to DVSAS to help stop the violence and “Share the Warmth.”

With an average of two cups a day for each of us, you can see how quickly the heat could rise and the violence could lessen.

As just one coffee shop caring enough to “Share the Warmth,” Friday Harbor Espresso raised over $800 dollars!

If you missed out on this warm-ing experience, don’t despair. You can just estimate your average number of warm drinks a day times 25 cents and times that by 30 days and send your check to DVSAS at PO Box 3175, Friday Harbor WA 98250. Plan now to make each October the warmest month of the

year by encouraging your favorite coffee shop and friends to care enough to join in on this warming experience too.

Kim BryanExecutive Director, DVSAS

Odds’ Halloween dance a success

This year’s Halloween Dance was extremely successful both in atten-dance and financially.

The crowd was huge and in great spirits. The costumes, the music and the ambience was one of the best ever. I am sure, based on com-ments received afterwards, every-one had a great time.

As for the financial aspect, we were able to add a significant amount to our scholarship and community giving fund.

The winning ticket drawn for the Wood Raffle was Jeanine Hofmann.

Thank you all for participating in the raffle and the dance.

Thank you to EMTsOn Tuesday, Nov. 4 I had occa-

sion to call 911 at the direction of my island physician from Orcas Medical Center. Because it was 3

a.m. when an unexpected pain hap-pened, Dr. Tony Giefer asked that an EKG be done to rule out any heart issue.

EMTs from my neighborhood in Rosario responded as well as a medical unit from Eastsound. Their care and concern and profes-sional behavior says “Kudos” for our fire EMS system on island.

Thanks so much for checking me out and reporting the fine outcome to my doctor. We are so fortunate to have such skilled people to assist, especially after clinic hours.

EMS saved our dogWhen “Molly” (canine variety)

came up missing and did not show for dinner as usual on Monday, a search was launched, however unsuccessfully. Her cries could be heard, but suddenly stopped and we all feared the worst. The fol-lowing morning she was located having fallen about 30’ to the rocks below. Rescue by boat was not an option due to weather condi-tions, so a call to OIFR resulted in a response by the rescue team, and also a practice opportunity. Thank you to Rachel Harvey (the animal whisperer), who rappelled down the bank (with Mark O’Neill in charge of the ropes) and gave her a tranquilizer to calm her and Ben Luna who followed with the stretcher, R.J. Myers, Seth Ybarra, and Chief O’Brien, from a grateful “Molly” and family. She is doing well and with no broken bones, but stiff joints. Your OIFR is here for you! Please support them.

Editorial

I met Sgt. Gil Frazier during the war in Afghanistan. I was an em-bedded journalist and he was a Marine. One of the reasons I am alive today is probably, in part, thanks to him. It was an unspoken

rule that the Marines would give their lives to protect journalists. It was a rule that sometimes made reporters unwelcome as we repre-sented another hassle in the chaos of battle. I could not blame them for this and did my best to take care of myself, but that in itself was a joke – without training or a weapon I was dead weight. But Gil took this extra baggage in stride and welcomed me into battle and

shared with me many truths about the complications of the mission.Just a few months after I left Afghanistan on Dec. 3, 2010 Frazier was in a firefight with enemy forces where Lance Cpl. Lucas C. Scott, 20, of Peebles, OH was shot after hours of fighting. When Scott could not breath, Frazier,

according to a military website, performed an emergency tracheot-omy while simultaneously directing his squad and air assets. With a casualty and almost out of ammo, Frazier pushed his squad to move the enemy out of the area. Unfortunately, Scott did not survive.For his actions that day, Gil was awarded the Vanguard Award from the Non-Commissioned Officer Association. He was also awarded both the Bronze Star and Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with combat distinguishing device. I wanted to reach out to Gil to tell him I was sorry and that I was thinking of him. He would have taken a bullet for me without a sec-ond thought, but I could not send my condolences because I could not face the past. I wanted to move forward not backwards.So when I heard the news that he had passed away from unknown reasons two weeks ago, I felt that sting of regret. My message would probably not have saved him or reversed his fate, but I would have found solace in the action. As Veterans Day is this week and another young man dies in the aftermath of the longest war fought in our nation’s history, I ask you to reach out to the service members you know. Take a minute to make a phone call or send an email because you never know when it may be too late. If you know of any veterans in our community who could use help, direct them to the American Legion or the Veterans Advisory board members. The Veterans Advisory Board provides emergency services to veterans in need, their children, widows widowers and/ or orphans. In 2007, the advisory board was formed and became in charge of distributing money from the Veterans Assistance Fund, which comes from San Juan County property taxes.For more info, visit www.co.sanjuan.wa.us/Committees/Veterans/Default.aspx.

$10K in restitution for blows to the face

On the heels of serving a 15-month prison sen-tence for felony burglary, a San Juan Island man was ordered to pay $10,000 to a crime victims fund and serve out the remainder of a jail term on work crew after pleading no-contest to an unrelated crime, punching a man twice in the face.

On Oct. 24, Travis James Webster, 27, pleaded no-contest in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of third-degree assault, a gross misdemeanor. He was ordered to pay $800 in fines and fees and $10,349 in restitution to the state crime victims fund. He was credited with having served part of a jail term, the rest of which he will be allowed to serve out on work crew.

Prosecutors charged Webster in early August with one count of second-degree assault, a Class B felony, for striking a man of similar age in the face at a late-night gathering at a Blair Avenue apartment in May 2013. At the time the charge was filed he was nearing the end of a 15-month prison sentence for felony burglary. He pleaded no-contest to the lesser offense as part of a plea deal, according to court documents.

By pleading no-contest, known as an Alford plea in Washington state, a defen-dant does not admit guilt

to the crime of which he or she is charged, but acknowl-edges that if the case went to trial they would likely be convicted.

According to court doc-uments, Webster struck the man in the face over a $50 drug debt and with such force that the repeated blows broke the man’s jaw. His injuries required mul-tiple surgeries to mend. The victim reportedly delayed notifying authorities about the assault for seven months for fear of retaliation.

Webster, also known as Travis White, is one of two men convicted a year ago of breaking into the Friday Harbor apartment of an acquaintance in mid-July 2013. In pursuit of prescrip-tion drugs at the time, they both wore masks. They were identified by the cou-ple whose apartment they broke into when an alterca-tion involving all four broke out and the two would-be robbers were unmasked. The two then fled the scene.

A year ago in November, Webster was sentenced to 15 months in prison after pleading guilty to felony burglary. His accomplice, Taiya Autumn Speed, was also sentenced to 15 months in prison.

Meth possessionAn Orcas Island man

who served a four-month jail term a year ago after brandishing a knife at a gro-cery store worker faces a new felony charge, posses-sion of methamphetamine.

On Oct. 24, Stanley

Vincent Sing pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of possession of a controlled substance, methamphet-amine, and was released on $10,000 bail pending trial, which is slated for Dec. 15.

The 34-year-old was taken into custody on the morning of Oct. 19 outside the library in Eastsound, where he had reportedly fallen asleep. He was wanted by local authorities for fail-ing to appear in court two weeks earlier in connection with the prior felony assault conviction at the time of his arrest. He was taken into custody without incident.

According to prosecutors, Sing had several “baggies” containing methamphet-amine in the front pocket of his jacket when deputies arrived at the library at 9

a.m. They reportedly found a case for sunglasses that contained glass pipes that were lined with residue.

Sing served a four-month sentence after pleading guilty in August 2013 to one count each of felony assault and misdemeanor theft following a confronta-

tion in early July of that year with a grocery store worker over shoplifting. He report-edly pulled a knife on the employee, who followed him outside the store, threatened the man and then fled on foot. He was taken into cus-tody a short time later after deputies found him hiding

in the brush at Crescent Beach. Three months ago he was ordered to serve a week in jail for failing to comply with court orders by undergoing a substance abuse evaluation. A war-rant was issued for his arrest Sept. 26 for failing to appear in court.

November 12-18 is desig-nated National Community Foundation Week, and the Orcas Island Community Foundation has much to celebrate. OICF was found-ed 20 years ago to help strengthen the Orcas com-munity by connecting peo-

ple and organizations who want to make a difference. Over the years, thousands of grants have been made to enhance education oppor-tunities, encourage the arts, sustain social services and creatively address emerging community needs. OICF stewards nearly $7 million in designated and donor advised funds supporting

many programs and organi-zations that keep our com-munity vital. In 2013, over $1 million in grants were distributed and OICF was recognized as one of the top 10 most active community foundations in the nation. This is a remarkable reflec-tion of our community gen-erosity. We give where we live. Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming Holiday Catalog, a great opportunity to continue your support of the many programs that keep Orcas vibrant. To learn more, visit www.oicf.us.

Last week, Keri and Ed Lago received a strange call. It was call that was confus-ing and then miraculous. The lady on the other line asked the Lagos if they were missing a cat.

They said no, they were not, but the woman insisted that the cat had a micro-chip connecting the feline to their phone number.

That is when Keri and Ed told her that they had lost a cat, but it had been four years ago.

In 2000, they picked out a grey kitten at the Orcas Animal Shelter. After only a few months, the cat, named Sookie, went missing.

“We thought maybe she was taken by an eagle or something,” Keri said.

The Lagos’ three children were upset, but in the fol-lowing years they all moved past it.

After the unbelievable phone call came in, Keri decided they had to get their cat back. Plus the kids were excited by the news that Sookie was alive.

The only problem was that the woman had found Sookie at a campsite in cen-tral Oregon more than 360 miles away.

“This was such an unex-pected surprise for our fam-ily,” said Keri. “There were 101 reasons why we prob-ably should not have gone to get her but something told me to go, so we did.”

Keri, Ed and their daugh-

ter Alana all loaded into the car and made a weekend trip to Oregon.

“We are so grateful to our new friends in Oregon and very happy to have her back,” said Keri, who is also grateful that the cat was microchipped and urges other people to make that investment with their pets.

“She was meant to be in our family,” she said.

Nine musicians from Orcas High School’s Strings and Band Classes attended this year’s North Sound Honor Festival on Nov. 3.

Presented by the San Juan Music Educators Association, the Festival hosted some of the top musicians (245 students from 16 northwest area high schools) at an all-day rehearsal, concluding with a con-cert by choir, orchestra and band at Blaine School’s 756-seat Performing Arts Center.

When the conductors walked on stage at the Blaine Performing Arts Center, they spoke of their gratitude - for the music teachers who work with the students all during the school year, for the parents who support the students with their encourage-ment and attendance - but especially for the students who have practiced hard to get where they are. “Tonight, on this stage, we have musicians from 16 high schools all working together to produce a single work of art,” said the orchestra conductor. “Where else will you find that?”

“Events such as this,” said the band con-ductor, “only happen once. It’s one day that will never be repeated in any of our lives. So I thank the educators for asking me to be a part of this special day.”

Representing Orcas Island in the Senior Honor Orchestra were eight musicians from Pamela Wright’s High School Strings class: violinists Emy Carter, Michael Harlow, Emily Toombs and Paris Wilson, violists Michael Chesher and Zach Waage, cellist Wylie Kau and pianist Lisa Carter. Orcas

High School Teacher and pianist Beth Rainey also performed with the orchestra.

The Orcas String students were full of praise for their dynamic guest conductor, Wesley Schulz. Schulz is the Conducting Fellow and assists Music Director Ludovic Morlot at the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. Schulz is also Music Director of the Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra, Seattle Festival Orchestra and the Bainbridge Island Youth Orchestra.

The orchestra performed Bach’s instantly recognizable “The Little Fugue in G Minor,” “Andante Festivo” by Jean Sebelius, the familiar “Downton Abbey” theme by John Lunn, “Concerto Grosso No. 1 - Prelude” by Bloch and “Pictures of Puget Sound” by Silva. The latter work was commissioned by the conductor who said that this was only the second time the piece had been performed publicly.

The Orcas music program was honored by the selection of violinist Paris Wilson as Section Principal in the second violin sec-tion for the 46-member orchestra.

Congratulations also go to Orcas Strings Director Pamela Wright who served as the Festival’s Honor Orchestra Coordinator.

Alto saxophonist Kaya Osborn from Darren Dix’s High School Band performed with the 100-member Senior Honor Band, conducted by Gerard Morris. Morris is Director of Bands and Assistant Professor at the University of Puget Sound School of Music. He has a Doctor of Music degree in conducting from Northwestern University.

The Honor Band performed the bold and fiery “American Fanfare” by John Wasson, which was originally composed for perfor-mance by the Dallas Brass. The program also included Andrew Boysen’s challenging “Unraveling,” “Sun Dance” by Frank Ticheli and the haunting “Symphonic Prelude” by Mark Camphouse honoring soldiers buried at the Normandy American Cemetery.

A 101-member Honor Choir performed five selections, and they were quite amaz-

ing, according to Wright. “We did not have any Orcas choir stu-

dents there this year,” she said. “But we are working on making that happen in the future.”

The choir conductor was Timothy Black, a celebrated international music educator.

Cellist Anthony Kaskurs and trombonist Kahana Pietsch were also selected for the festival, but were unable to attend.

Earlier this year, the Orcas Island Education Foundation celebrated its 30th anniversary.

Even with 30 years under its belt, the impact of OIEF and its donors is not always visible to the community. With that in mind, the OIEF board would like to share with you what your generosity has brought to the public schools since the start of this academic year.

One area of focus OIEF was hoping to impact this year was arts education. Like other school districts around the country, budget

challenges have forced cuts to art and music curricu-lum for our students. OIEF is pleased to announce two significant art programs its donors have funded this year.

The first program is an extensive visual art sequence for students in the elemen-tary school. This will bring four artists, a coordinator and supplies into the school so that all K-6 students will get a weekly art class for six-teen weeks. Seed money for the classes was provided by an Orcas Island Community Foundation “Partners in

Philanthropy” grant to Art for Orcas Kids, which is a committee of OIEF.

We are pleased that the generosity of OIEF donors is helping to fund such a comprehensive program of creativity and art pro-duction for our elementary children.

The second art program OIEF is subsidizing is a high school theater arts class. The course allows students to both learn about theater as literature, as well as par-ticipate in drama exercises at the Orcas Center. While the teacher is employed by

the school district, OIEF funded space at the Orcas Center and engaged the ser-vices of the talented Jake Perrine as the drama coach. OIEF thanks Jake, who has worked extra days to coach the students outside of his contracted hours, and the Orcas Center for reducing its usual rental rates for the class.

According to Principal Kyle Freeman, “Student enrollment for this class exceeded our capacity. The kids are enjoying working with a theater coach and are excited to be working

on performances at the end of first and second semes-ter. We thank OIEF for its support. The performance aspect of this class would not have happened without it.”

Other than the arts, OIEF is excited to be support-ing other great opportuni-ties at our schools. Some examples are: the guitar-making STEM class, the 6th grade trip to Nature Bridge/Olympic Park Institute, a new debate club, books and supplies for classrooms and the library, as well as a com-mitment to send students

to the Math Olympiad this year.

These are just some of the programs donors to OIEF have brought to the school…so far. The school year is still young. From the “Farm to Cafeteria” to the arts to math and sci-ence, OIEF would not exist without the generosity of our donors. On behalf of the board, our students, and staff – we thank you.

The Actors Theater of Orcas Island is looking for short play submissions from Orcas Island writers. Whether you are a seasoned playwright or have always wanted to give it a try, they would love to consider your work for the 10th annual PlayFest, which highlights the talents of local writers, actors, and directors.

Each year they see new and refreshing plays, from one end of the spectrum to the other, by writers new and seasoned. No genre is off limits.

To celebrate its 10th year, the theater is asking for plays that incorporate the theme “10” but it is not a requirement.

Seven local plays will be selected for a full produc-tion taking place in the last weekend in April and the first weekend in May.

Play submission deadline is Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015. Guidelines and samples are available to ensure each has the appropriate information for submission. Early sub-mission is desirable so writ-ers can receive feedback and make revisions if desired.

For guidelines and ques-tions, contact Michele Griskey: [email protected] or 376-3848.

Island pet owners are invited to a holiday pet photoshoot to benefit the Orcas Off-Leash Area and Orcas Animal Shelter.

The event is on Sunday, Nov. 23 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Orcas Animal Shelter, 84A Hope Lane, Eastsound. Follow signs for separate entrance for cats. No appointment necessary.

The Vikings (1-8) wrapped up their season with a loss last Thursday during the senior game against the (8-2) LaConner Braves, 53-20 at a windy Dahl Field.

The Vikings’ lethargic offense initially stumbled with three fumbles after the opening kickoff as the Braves took advantage of the generosity and ramped up the score 19-0 by the end of the first quarter.

LaConner opened the second quarter with a touchdown pass and run

stretching the score to 32-0, but Vikings’ offense awoke with spectacular moments against one of the best defenses in the league.

The first Orcas score was a hand-off from quarter-back Miles Harlow to run-ning back Pasha Bullock who, faking a run and barely dodging a tackler, launched a 40-yard touch-down pass to Cameron Aragon, erupting the loyal crowd in applause. Harlow followed up the a two-point run.

Later in the quarter, Harlow connected with Ivan Bullock for a touch-

down pass ending the first half 32-14.

Aidan Kruse peeled off an 85-yard run in the third quarter, setting up the last Viking touchdown, a four- yard pass to Ricardo De Anda.

“This was the last game for our two senior leaders, Joey Susol and Jay Zier,” said Coach Justin Frausto. “They will be missed. They had great leadership all year. We have some core players coming back next year. I would like to see twice as many players out for football next year. We are going to work hard in the off season and work in the weight room. I enjoyed coaching a great group of football players. We all learned a lot.”

“Cascada” (U.S., 2013, 8 minutes) by Anson Fogel and Shannon Ethridge. Tangled vines. Endless rain. Dodgy hotel rooms. Mud. Biting flies. Aggressive

viruses ... perfection. Is this a vacation? “Ryan’s Stories” (U.S. 2013, 7 minutes).

by Anson Fogel, Aimee Tetreault and Camp4 Collective. Ryan Hudson grew up in and out of homeless shelters. Ryan was introduced to snowboarding through Outdoor Outreach, a nonprofit dedicated to using outdoor activities to empower at risk youth.

“COMPOST-a-lujah!” (Canada, 2012, 3 minutes) by Christopher Paetkau and Trevor Gill. Let’s face it: composting isn’t the most glamorous of topics or activities. It can be dirty, rotten and smelly. But it doesn’t have to be.

“The Man Who Lived on His Bike” (Canada, 2012, 3 minutes) by Guillaume Blanchet. After 382 days spent riding through the streets of Montreal, being sometimes quite cold, sometimes quite hot – and sometimes quite scared, Blanchet dedicated this movie to his dad.

Fifty years ago Jane Goodall set out to study the wild chimpanzees of Tanzania with little more than a pair of second-hand binoculars, some pencils and a notebook.

Telling the tales of survival by CALI BAGBYAssistant editor

Orcas Islanders will tell their stories of survival at Random Howse Nov. 13 at 7 p.m. as part of the “Random Tales” series.

Random Howse owner April Duke came up with the idea of “Random Tales” after listening to popular storytelling podcasts like “The Moth”, “This American Life” and “Snap Judgement.”

“These shows with true stories go from the mundane to the tragic to the spectacu-lar,” said Duke. “They encourage us or make us so grateful we didn’t have to experience that.”

Storytellers for the upcoming event include Bob Friel who will share his shark

attack story. Ken Salt will talk about being trapped in a slot canyon in southern Utah and April Duke will talk abut life at sea.

This reporter Cali Bagby will be sharing a story about my experience as an embedded journalist in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Other storytellers include Jake Perrine, Susan Osborn, Suzanne Olson and Shaiyeda Silverwolf.

“I think true stories are so much more interesting than fiction,” said Duke. “They make us realize that we are all experienc-ing this human life in different ways but also the same. They help us to understand each other much better than talking about the weather or sports or politics. They can bring a community together.”


Starting Monday, Nov. 17, San Juan County dog tags will be available to pur-chase. This year you can protect your dog with an orange bell. This simple protection will assure you of being reconnected with your dog if it gets lost.

The county’s animal control database allows anyone to look up dog owners by dog tag number. If you find a dog, go to sanjuan-co.com and type “dog license search.” Once you are on the dog license search page, type in the tag number. This will provide you with the dog’s name, owner’s contact numbers and vet’s name. If you have pro-vided a photo of your dog to the database (for a $5 annual fee), someone who finds your dog will be able to verify that the dog they found is yours. All dogs in San Juan

County are required to be licensed. A share of the proceeds from the fees goes to the local Animal Protection Societies for their operations.

Community news briefs

Diversity and change are themes of this year’s Celebrate Indian Island event at Orcas Center on Nov. 20, hosted by the Indian Island Marine Health Observatory and the conservation laboratory Kwiaht. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and the event is family friendly and free.

There will be entertainment, refreshments and displays, including a first-time musical collaboration of Sharon Abreu and Michael Hurwicz with the Orcas Elementary fifth grade. There will be opportunities to hear

from local volunteers and help support stewardship of Indian Island by “adopting” a species of your choice.

This will be the fifth annual celebration of Indian Island at Orcas Center, and will summarize hundreds of days of volunteer monitoring and data collection since 2010.

“Sea surface temperatures hit record highs in the islands this year,” says Kwiaht ecologist Russel Barsh.

Warm water may have contributed to heavy herring spawning in April, a mas-

sive fish-killing algal bloom in June and a rapid decline in sea stars in July. Five years of data shows eelgrass density gradu-ally edging downwards, especially in shal-low water, while Bay Pipefish and Plainfin Midshipmen, two of the most charming and colorful fish at Indian Island, are showing signs of recovery. Changes in clam species suggest that the beach continues to grow siltier. Barsh will discuss these and other trends in a slideshow presentation.

Thousands of tourists visited Indian Island

in 2014, but according to Indian Island Marine Health Observatory Coordinator Kelly Rose, energetic volunteer docents, and trail restrictions succeeded in limiting the impacts on birds and wildlife.

A special feature of this year’s event is the launch of a contest to choose young artists for illustrating a children’s book in verse on Black Oystercatchers. Betty (Rodenberger) Densmore contributed the text, and winners of the contest will work with commercial illustrator Laine Nichols.

Researchers look at Indian Island: five years of change

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.
