Paul Kamin, general manager of the Eastsound Water Users Association, sent a letter to EWUA members on Sept. 18. The docu-ment outlined the Guest House Upgrade Initiative, which requires members who have a second liv-ing space on their property to upgrade their memberships to reflect two buildings.

Members of the Orcas commu-nity, Leslie Liddle, Doug Betchel and Susan Malins, responded to this letter with criticism, stating that it was unfair, aggressive and that the cost was too great.

“This initiative is poorly thought out, arbitrary and pun-ishing,” wrote Liddle.

(You can read Liddle’s guest col-umn on page 6. A letter from Malins is on page 5. Bechtel’s letter ran in the Oct. 15 edition of the Sounder.)

Kamin said the upgrade is not meant as a punishment, but rather a way for people to update their

properties. The upgrade costs a one-time fee of $3,000. EWUA’s base rate is $45 for 5,000 gal-lons for each “equivalent residen-tial unit” or ERU per month. The upgrade will now require a single family home with a guest house to be signed up for a 1.5 ERU, cost-ing $67.40 per month for 7,500 gallons. If more than the allotted “gallons per month” allowed are used with the base rate, then the charge is $20 per 1,000 gallons.

If you have property with two residences that was built in the 1970s or before then your proper-ty is grandfathered in and you do not have to pay the $3,000 charge, but you will have to pay a monthly bill to reflect 1.5 ERUs.

Kamin said the initiative may be more cost effective for some home owners with two residences as they now have access to 7,500 gallons and are less likely to use more water and be charged the surplus usage fee.

Liddle, on the other hand, is not sure that there will be any cost benefits.

“Those in the lowest usage cate-gory with a guest house can expect a $200 bill every three months

The troubling saga of Lolita, the southern resident orca whale in captivity and on display in a Florida marine amusement park, will be in the spotlight at the 2014 Big Apple Film Festival in New York City.

“A Day in the Life of Lolita,” is an eight-minute film that fol-lows renowned marine biologist, Dr. Ingrid Vissner, into Miami's Seaquarium, Lolita's home for the last 44 years.

“The film is about elevating our understanding of the Orcas, who are deserving of our respect,” Whidbey Island-based Orca Network Co-founder Howard Garett said. “And correcting this injustice.”

Director Daniel Azarian paints a compelling picture of Lolita's sit-uation. Her holding tank, 80-by-35 feet, is described by Vissner as "tragically small." The filmmak-

er claims the tank's compressed dimensions violate the Animal Welfare Act, and according to Vissner, cause Lolita to demon-strate "stereotypic behaviors" that are both abnormal and repetitive, and actions not seen of an animal in its natural habitat. Such behav-iors include chewing on concrete, resurfacing at the same spot and pacing back and forth.

Captured when she was some-where between three to five years old, Lolita still makes the calls in Miami that she learned 44 years ago in her native sea. A highly sociable creature by birth, she has been alone in her tank since 1980, when her tank mate, Hugo, died from perpetually bashing his head against the side of the tank that he and Lolita shared.

The Friday Harbor Film Festival plans to showcase “A Day in the Life of Lolita” as its own separate event, as it's too late to enter a film in the festival, which is only a few

weeks away.“This is an important film

and we want to showcase it in Friday Harbor,” said Film Festival Director Lynn Danaher.

In April 2013, the National Marine Fisheries Service, a divi-sion of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, accepted a petition to consider whether Lolita, a member of L-pod, should be included under the Endangered Species Act list-

ing of the southern resident kill-er whales. NOAA is expected to make its final sometime near the end of January.

“I think it’s a pretty sure thing that she will come under federal protection,” Garrett said. “Then we will have someone to commu-nicate with.”

As it stands, Lolita is private property and as such belongs to Miami Seaquarium.

NOAA has received thousands of public comments about the petition and the plight of Lolita, the last southern resident orca liv-ing in captivity. Comments range from support for including Lolita in the ESA, to those that consider including her (which could aid in her return to the Salish Sea) harm-ful to her health and that of the other residents.

If Lolita is deemed part of the southern resident endangered

Anchor Art Space is presenting “Eidola,” a solo exhibition of new work by Rachel Van Pelt from Oct. 31 to Nov. 23 from noon to 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday. The public is invited to meet the artist at the opening reception on Friday, Nov. 7 from 6 to 9 p.m. Anchor Art Space is a non-profit, artist-run orga-nization in Anacortes.

The exhibition title is

taken from the ancient Greek word eidolon, which has two meanings: 1.) an apparition; and, 2.) the image of an ideal. For eido-la, the artist has rethought, remixed and remolded homages to invisible spiri-tual ideals, using a broad range of religious artifacts as templates. Through drawings, paintings, instal-lation and sculpture, she abstracts the formats of

sacred geometries, shrines, Christian icons, hindu mur-tis and folk remedies into new and novel forms.

Van Pelt has exhibited both nationally and inter-nationally, been an art-ist in residence in Peru, California, and New York and completed her MFA in 2012 at Syracuse University in New York. Visit www.rachelvanpelt.net for more information.

There will be a free work-shop at the Orcas Island Library on Wednesday, Oct. 29 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. titled “Managing the Holidays.” Michael Elder, a licensed

marriage and family thera-pist, will lead participants in exploring how they embody the joy, expectation, anxi-ety, frustration, excite-ment and anticipation that

arise around the holidays. Participants will learn how to adjust the intensity of their reactions to facilitate a happier and less stressful holiday season. This will be done using the techniques of Formative Psychology and iRest Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation.

The workshop consists of two parts: first, using the techniques of formative psychology participants will explore the “anatomi-cal shapes” adopted in response to the holidays, both the joy and excitement and their opposites. Elder will explore the degrees of these experiences as par-ticipants practice increasing and decreasing the inten-sity of experiences at will. Then he will consolidate what was learned using the Yoga Nidra form called Integrative Restoration.

School’s Pep Band, under the direction of Darren Dix, got off to a rousing debut for the year at the Vikings Homecoming Game Oct. 11. The sounds of the Viking fight song, “Louie Louie,” “YMCA” and other “pep” songs filled the air and invigorated the school spirit already on display.

High School Band mem-bers are: Claire Bishop-Martin, Maggie Paige, Holden Griskey-Watson, Kaya Osborn, Manuel Rodriguez, Devon Mann, McCabe Webb, Kahana Pietsch, Jo Gudgell, Keith Light and Liam Griskey-Watson. A group of com-munity members round-ed out the band: Angie

Boucher, Judy Whiting, Ian Lister, Ewan Lister, Beth Jenson, Matt Jenson, Tim Jenson, Lizz Hanks, Russ Harvey and Wally Wallrath.

Launching a pep band was one of Dix’s goals when he joined Orcas Schools last year as band director.

“I hope it becomes a tra-dition. It’s lots of fun and really supports teamwork, both in music and sports,” Dix said.

The band will be back for four basketball games this winter.

A number of items were stolen from the Orcas Island Historical Museum over the second weekend in October. The Sheriff ’s Department was contacted as soon as the theft was discovered.

They are still in the pro-cess of putting together a complete list of missing items, but the following are confirmed missing: a replica of the Bison Antiquus skull that was found on Orcas in 2003, a Tlingit Buckskin, merchandise items from the gift shop and cash.

“The historic items are important pieces of our island’s unique history, and they are desperately wanted back,” say museum staff members. “Thanks to the generosity of a number of locals, we are prepared to offer a reward for any

information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the theft.”

If anyone has any infor-mation about the theft of these items or their where-abouts, contact the Sheriff ’s Department at 378-4151.

orcas, it could lead to a fed-erally mandated relocation to her native waters.

But it could also take addi-tional time to get underway if the decision is contested in court by Seaquarium.

“We have to be patient,” Garrett said. “We started this campaign in 1995. There's some real prospect that she might come home soon.”

According to Garrett, if approved, transporting Lolita back to the Salish Sea would be a relatively sim-ple endeavor. A protected

cove in the San Juan Islands has been chosen; an area in which Lolita would have much more room to roam, the stimulation of tidal action and foraging the sea bottom, and hunting fish. The area would be netted off and a slide-out area on the shore would allow her to be examined periodical-ly by biologists and whale researchers.

Garrett said Lolita would need time to acclimate to living in the wild, and that a contingency plan for her perpetual care would need to be developed and in place as well.

LOLITA FROM 1

Submitted by OPALCOAt Thursday’s meeting of the OPALCO

Board of Directors, a motion was unani-mously approved that includes a $7.5 mil-lion acceleration of its efforts to provide member Internet connections to as many members as possible – and, eventually, serve the entire membership.

A new organization will be formed to deliver these services, separate in its financ-es and staffing. The detailed plan and pre-sentation are available at opalco.com.

“The plan is do-able, well balanced and does not rely on OPALCO for all of the funds,” commented board member Dr. Jerry Whitfield of Shaw Island. “I’m impressed with the inspired leadership of [Foster] Hildreth and [Gerry] Lawlor, their level of understanding of the problems ahead and their ability to pull it off.”

A rate schedule for member connections is now available online (islandnetwork.opalco.com/), beginning with basic Internet (10Mbps down/up data plus home phone) services at $95 per month. Rates include a credit of $1,500 per member connection to help offset the initial costs.

OPALCO’s team has been out talking with Homeowners Associations to encour-age neighborhoods to work together and share the cost of connection – the most cost effective way to serve the largest number of members.

A map in the presentation shows more than 1,300 members ready to subscribe as soon as services are available. The start-up phase of the project aims to connect 25 percent of our membership (about 2,900 members) in the first three years.

This community effort would not be pos-sible without the connection to OPALCO’s dynamic grid control backbone: more than 100 miles of a fiber optic network which was built to monitor and control our electri-cal distribution system.

The line crew who built the system, the engineering and operations staff who designed and configured it and the dedi-cated leadership of Beth Anderson, super-intendent of information services, were all critical to this success.

All co-op members pay for the backbone through electrical rates over time, but only those who subscribe to Internet services pay

for those connections.“This plan allows us to limit our risk to a

three- to five-year period of capital invest-ment,” explained General Manager Foster Hildreth. “Once the new organization is standing on its own financially, it can con-tinue to grow based on member demand. The revenue it generates will self-fund expansion to meet our members’ needs into the future.”

Board member Bob Myhr of Lopez Island noted with regret the absence of fellow board member Vince Dauciunas, who was unable to attend due to illness, and recog-nized his key role in getting us to this point.

“Vince really carried the ball for our team. His technical know-how, dedicated research and diplomacy guided us to the finish line,” said Myhr. “We’ve seen this project evolve and now it can work. A proj-ect of this scope could not be accomplished without the tremendously qualified staff and leadership that we have in place.”

The first actions will include five pilot projects in areas where OPALCO has con-struction projects already in the works. These first projects – Cattle Point/Cape San Juan, Mt. Dallas, Doe Bay/Eagle Lake, Deer Harbor and South Lopez – are all located in remote areas where we have field communi-cation and equipment monitoring problems to solve. At the same time, work will begin on connecting neighborhoods throughout the islands where members are organized to share connection costs.

As the grid control backbone reaches far-ther, more members will be able to connect. We encourage members – and especially neighborhood and community associations – to apply for service online by clicking the “Want to Connect?” button at island-network.opalco.com/. OPALCO asks that people please be patient as there is cur-rently a backlog of applications for service.

For the latest information about OPALCO, go to: www.opalco.com; sign up for our email newsletter (http://www.opal-co.com/about/email-signup/); and follow us on Facebook (Orcas Power and Light Cooperative) and Twitter (@orcaspower).

Puzzled over county sheriff race

Orcas Island Historical Society thank you

Now that the tourist season is winding down, the Orcas Island Museum has shifted to its off-sea-son schedule. It is also time to give some special thanks to the support-ers of the society.

Our first thank you goes to Dan and Denise Wilk of Eclipse Charters and to Boyd Pratt. On Sept. 7, Eclipse Charters hosted “Cruise into History: Lime Kilns of Orcas,” which was narrated by Boyd Pratt. The day was outstand-ing and the four-hour cruise led us to many of the old historical sites on the island for a water view. Best of all, the museum was the recipi-ent of a very generous donation from Dan and Denise.

The second thank you goes to Christina and Bruce Orchid of Red Rabbit Farm. On Oct. 4, they pro-vided a fantastic setting for the museum’s annual fall fundraiser, the Heritage Harvest Feast. If you have never had a chance to partake of one of Christina’s farm meals, you don’t know what you are miss-ing! We strongly urge you take advantage of one of the many fun-

draising events that Christina hosts for the island’s nonprofits. This year it was our honor to be the recipient of one of these wonderful fund-raising opportunities. Thank you Christina and Bruce for all that you did for the museum and for all that you do for the community.

The third big thank you goes to our business supporters that helped make our Historical Days a big success. They included: Inn at Ship Bay, Rosario Resort, Sea Island Sand and Gravel, Orcas Excavating, Island Excavating, Orcas Workshop, Peter Fisher Gallery and Kangaroo House. A special thanks to the Harvey Family for their contribu-tion of the ever-popular logging show and to Massage by the Sea for her October offer to give 50 percent of the money received from every massage to the museum. Thank you to all those who made pies for this year’s pie booth on the Fourth of July and thank you to all of the volunteers and attendees who came out to support this year’s Historical Days celebration on July 3.

The last thank you goes to the societies’ many volunteers that have put in numerous unselfish hours supporting Society as docents at both the Pioneer Museum and Crow Valley School. Thank you to the many museum members that continue to support our efforts to ensure that the history of Orcas Island lives on. Thank you to my 2014 Board which provided a fan-tastic year of events, exhibits and for making giant steps forward in our continued growth. And lastly, thank you to our many visitors from around the world that took the

time to tour our museum treasures and support the many other Orcas Island businesses that serve Orcas. You are all part of what ensures the society’s motto of “History Lives Here” is not forgotten.

For the 2015 season we are start-ing to line up volunteers to act as docents for both Crow Valley School and the Pioneer Museum. We also are seeking board mem-bers to help continue the growth of the society and to assist us in meet-ing our future goals. If you have any interest in either of these oppor-tunities, please contact Maggie Vinson at 376-4849.

Watch for our upcoming history matinees the third Sunday of each month and for our 2015 calendar of offerings. If you haven’t done it lately, tour the museum during the off-season for free, Wednesday through Saturday between noon and 3 p.m. In May watch for our all-island newsletter, and if you are not a member of the Orcas Island Historical Society, please join to ensure that our island treasures are not forgotten.

Editorial

Sometimes in small-town elections, things get a little � erce. And it would seem the sheri� ’s race is one of those times. Deputy Ron Krebs is running against current Sheri� Rob Nou.

At the League of Women Voters’ election forums, Krebs spent a lot of his time bashing his current boss. According to Krebs, the sheri� isn’t a strong communicator or an e� ective leader. This attitude leads us to wonder how much Kreb respects chain of command, which is a vital key in law enforcement – not only for teamwork, but for keeping people safe. When asked how he would deal with a lack of coverage on Orcas, Krebs said he would handle shifts himself. How is that a long-term solution? What duties would he not be doing in order to cover someone else’s job? We also question Krebs’ way of dealing with suspected criminals. When asked by a forum audience member how he would handle “rumored drug houses,” Krebs asserted he would park his car in front of the home until the occupants decided to move on. We wonder what the ACLU would have to say about that. We know that Nou has been faced with regulating suspected drug activity and did not solve the issue by forcing the tenants out so they could sell drugs in another area. When citizens from a neighborhood in Rosario aired concerns about an alleged drug-house, Undersheri� Bruce Distler attended a meeting to hear those concerns. Although many still question how the sheri� deals with drugs, the end result of this case was the arrest of the suspected criminal. This is just one case where action was taken under the leadership of the sheri� to make our community safer.Nou displayed professionalism and thoughtfulness at the forums. He listed his accomplishments during his tenure: preserving jobs and avoiding department budget cuts; providing consistent training to sta� ; upgrading technology; receiving grants; and continuing work with prevention programs. He has not spoken negatively about any of his employees and when asked pointed questions from the audience, he maintained composure. Are we thrilled with how Sheri� Nou has handled everything during his tenure? No. We are not even sure how badly he wants the job. His lack of presence and passion during this election season is disappoint-ing. We agree with Krebs that communication with the community is lack-ing. If re-elected, we sincerely hope Nou considers holding town hall meetings and increasing transparency, which is something Krebs says he himself would do as sheri� . However, when we recently lambasted the department for switching to electronic � ling and thus eliminating our access to the much-loved sheri� ’s log, Nou and the undersheri� listened to our concerns. They even answered with a solution: they send in weekly reports on activity so the public knows about every call. We are troubled by the lack of morale that Krebs (and other deputies) say is permeating the department. The Sounder sta� has read many letters from members of the sheri� ’s o� ce that speak of an uncommu-nicative work environment. And the San Juan County Deputy Sheri� s Guild publicly endorsed Krebs. This disconnect between leadership and sta� is another red � ag. We hope Nou makes some changes with his leadership style and relation-ship with certain o� cers. Even more importantly, we want to see his passion on the campaign trail. If the sheri� is willing to � ght for his job we would wholeheartedly endorse him. And if Krebs illustrated a clear plan for improving communication, dealing with coverage cuts and a little more respect for the chain of command, we would be more inclined to consider him as the next sheri� .

in full chat. Another group of candidates has had their chance to talk with the peo-ple at the candidate forums, concluded just last week, and now we will decide who will be representing all of us for the next few years.

One race held my interest me last cycle and it contin-ues to interest today. That

is the race for sheriff. I’ve known Sheriff Nou since he came to San Juan County. I’ve worked beside him on Lopez until he became sher-iff. I then shifted to working with him at his direction as sheriff.

I’ve also worked beside many of my former partners on Orcas and San Juan dur-ing training and on cases which spanned two (or at times more) islands. I’ve had what I consider a good relationship with all.

I am, however, disheart-ened with what seems to be the reoccurrence of a virus which I believe came from some problem between the then Sheriff Cumming and a deputy who seemed to be at odds with almost every-thing Cumming did or said.

The animus was at times hard to avoid, and I took care to know why it might be and how to recognize it. I worked at keeping my perspective centered and keeping a watch on what I believed could be a real problem for the Sheriff ’s Department overall.

Since the new election cycle began I’ve again rec-ognized the same animus but it is now more venom-ous and many more people are involved. When I heard that a large percentage of the Deputy Sheriff ’s Guild had voted to endorse a chal-lenger I was astounded!

I know this must have had its beginnings in that one person. That person of course, has the right to speak their mind and beliefs.

Deputy Krebs is a good man and a competent hard working deputy. He works hard and is a fair man. He states he has administrative experience but not in law enforcement. He has expe-rience as a deputy but only eight years.

Sheriff Nou gained his experience in two other agencies before com-ing to San Juan County, both in Oregon. He rose to the rank of sergeant in Yamhill County learn-ing supervisory skills. He then gained administra-tive skills in Burns, Ore., as the Chief of the Burns Police Department. He has credentials from the FBI Law Enforcement Academy. He is the right man for the job of sheriff of San Juan County.

Vote for KrebsThe upcoming election

for sheriff is an important one. I intend to vote for Ron Krebs.

Our islands and the resi-

dents who live here, both full-time and seasonal, are a unique group of people. In general we tend to be educated, mature and not in need of too much close supervision. We’ve chosen to live here because of the peacefulness and beauty of these surroundings. These islands can be, and should be, a friendly place where common sense prevails.

When it comes to the style of policing, the past couple of years has seen a trend in what I think is the wrong direction. There seems to be a consistent emphasis on “catch and enforce” rather than “serve and protect”. In a conversation with Mr. Krebs at the county fair, I was impressed at how well he understands the differ-ence between the two. I was impressed by his willingness to listen and his eagerness to find ways to ensure that the islands retain their special character. He understands that the role of law enforce-ment is a delicate balance that is based on common sense and mutual respect.

Now is an appropriate time for change. I urge a vote for Ron Krebs.

Ben CollinsFriday Harbor

I have been a social worker, administrator and community advocate and – most importantly – wife of a police officer for nearly 20 years. We currently live and work on Orcas Island. When I look to the quali-ties of an effective leader I look at attributes such as honesty, communication, confidence, commitment, creativity, a positive attitude and the ability to inspire others. There are so many problems under the cur-rent administration that the general public just doesn’t know (and I cannot pos-sibly list all in the allowed 350 words); but all can be traced back to ineffective leadership.

An effective leader would be always honest and take responsibility and account-ability when mistakes are made; blame others, mini-mize or ignore situations, and then remove himself from the problem. However, I believe his opponent, Ron Krebs, when he states he desires to be held account-able and looks to the pub-lic to hold him to a higher standard of honesty and integrity.

An effective leader shares information. A leader who fails to communicate is one who either doesn’t know the information himself, or one who doesn’t trust people to receive the information. Ron Krebs will have regular

public town hall meetings to give and receive infor-mation. He will initiate regular staff meetings with his employees. He will be present in the office more than he is away. He will be available to the public and his employees. An effec-tive leader leads with con-fidence, commitment and creativity. No longer can the same problems be viewed through the same lens of solution. I believe Ron is a creative leader who’ll look for alternative solutions rather than to give up and say “that’s just the way it is.”

Finally, an effective leader is one who can inspire oth-ers. The current sheriff has lost the trust and faith of his own employees. There is really nothing left. Ron Krebs will be an inspiring leader because he is already doing so. His department members are looking to him to lead them out of the dark place the sheriff ’s department has become. He is the light at the end of their tunnel and their faith in his being elected is what keeps most of them coming to work each day. I shudder to think of what will happen to the department if Ron Krebs is not elected your next sheriff. Please join me in casting your ballots for Ron Krebs for sheriff.

Thank you for election forums

On behalf of the League of Women Voters of the San Juans, I would like to thank the citizens, press and candidates for office who attended our recent Voters’ Forums.

I also want to thank the workers at the San Juan County Elections Office for diligently providing timely information.

More than 200 people from San Juan, Orcas and Lopez engaged the candi-dates and issue representa-tives in lively discussion.

We served cake at all three locations as the LWVSJ celebrates its 20th year of providing informa-tion on issues and an oppor-tunity for civil discourse in the islands.

Throughout the years many LWV members have worked hard to put these forums together – we thank them and honor our found-ing mothers and fathers.

Thank you for attending, and remember to vote!

Give pickleball a chance

I would like to encour-age my fellow Orcasians to try out the relatively new sport of pickleball that is currently being offered by Orcas Park and Rec on Monday nights from 7 to 9 p.m. in the old gym at the Orcas Island Public School ($2 fee).

It is a cross between several sports – using a ping-pong like racket and a whiffle-like ball on a bad-minton-sized court with a low net. Pickleball is suit-able for people of all ages and abilities and it is active but not as rigorous as ten-nis. It is a fast-growing sport in the U.S. as well as around the world especially among retired folks. I hear that it is becoming very popular on San Juan Island because it is so much fun. Take a look at it being played on Youtube.com. Without participation, pickleball will be canceled.

Hope to see you on the court.

Vote yes on Orcas School levy

I enthusiastically and absolutely support the levy to enable our Orcas Island school district to continue to do the best job possible in preparing our kids for the future. Yes, we did pass a bond in 2012 for much needed new construction and hurrah for that! It is important to remember, however, there remains the need to keep up the support of ongoing program and existing buildings issues, which are being addressed in this levy.

It is critical for our young people to continue gain-ing skills in technology increasingly needed in so many instances to enter our world’s job force. The levy is also important to allow our children to learn in safe, clean environments and what a golden time when there is a $457,000 match-ing grant from the state to make those upgrades and improvements!

Please join me in voting YES for the Orcas Island SD Facilities and Technology levy!

Confusion over EWUA letter

I have been a member of EWUA since the early 1990s, and have often

appreciated the cooperation and assistance of EWUA staff.

Until I received the EWUA letter of September

18 I had no idea that I might be violating any EWUA rule. I have never received a copy of the Bylaws or Operating Rules from EWUA, any ‘heads up’ from staff or been oth-erwise informed of any problem with my water membership. When I put in a garden this summer I had my first “overage” on water usage, and paid the extra charge, understand-ing that my water expenses are based upon usage.

I was as shocked by the content of this letter as I was by its aggressive tone. A years-old bylaw which has

never been publicized or enforced suddenly requires that 80 or more members in good standing must fork up thousands of dollars in the near future and have 50 percent higher water bills forever? Having noth-ing whatsoever to do with water usage? EWUA’s men-acing tone toward members such as myself, in writing, and the unpleasant visit to my place of business where Mr. Kamin created a lengthy ruckus, motivated me to research a bit and ask some questions. I began with the EWUA website, where some bylaws contra-

dict each other, and where I could find neither a list of current board members, minutes of meetings nor any financial statements whatsoever.

Today I sent a letter to the EWUA board and manager requesting information that all members should have: When and why was this sudden initiative deter-mined?

When was the last water system plan submitted to DOH, and when is the next one due?

Where’s the annual finan-cial statement?

Where are the minutes and records of notifica-tions, specifically regard-ing adoption of this bylaw amendment?

If EWUA is a Group A water system, why are the half-meter requirements of a Group B water system being applied?

Are current members who get a new .5 [ERU] membership considered “future members,” paying for expansion of the sys-tem?

I really want to under-stand how/if this initiative is in the best interest of EWUA members.

LETTERS FROM 5

by LESLEY LIDDLEOrcas Island

I have been carefully considering the letter of initiative that everyone recent-ly received after Sept. 18, 2014 from the EWUA Manager Paul Kamin.

Members with a "guest" house, whether large or small, built after 1970, are to be charged $3,000 for a second “half meter” for that guest house if signed up before Dec. 31. Thereafter this new half meter will cost $6,000, plus an extra monthly fee of around $22/month or $66 added on top of the pres-ent lowest level three month billing of $135.

Those in the lowest usage category with a guest house can expect a $200 bill every three months for water regardless of how large or small that guest house or the pri-mary home is, or how much water has ever been used by that tax parcel. In addition to this, for the next three years another $250 is proposed to be added to these quarterly bills as payment for this new half meter.

Some of us who are small water users could be seeing an amazing water bill for $450 every three months for the next three years if this initiative is enacted. A guest house includes vacation trailers, yurts, any-thing else with a toilet and cooking facility which has been sitting on one’s property which another person could potentially live inside whether or not anyone is actually doing this. Paying just for water and this new half meter amounts to a whooping

$1,800 bill each of the next three years and to $800 per year thereafter. Anyone who hasn't signed up on their own by Dec. 31 will be penalized when found. Such a letter is disturbing coming from a co-operative association. Many of us have lived here for decades in very small cabins or houses with tiny guest houses on a single tax parcel, while large houses with huge water needs have been built and will still be allowed one meter. Levying extra membership fees on low water usage users is not only unfair but makes life difficult for many who were connected legally decades ago post 1970 and who have been conscientiously con-servative.

This initiative is poorly thought out, arbi-trary and punishing. Tiny guest houses make affordable housing and are conser-vative by nature. When they are not obvi-ously out of line with land use they should be encouraged – especially at this time when there are so many without housing options. One meter adequately monitors all water consumption per residential tax parcel. That is stated clearly in the origi-nal EWUA document. Beyond the prop-erty line all plumbing is paid for by private property owners themselves. The EWUA is neither the planning department nor the assessor’s office. It would better serve its members by levying monthly fees based on actual water usage.

Guest column for water regardless of how large or small that guest house or the primary home is, or how much water has ever been used by that tax parcel,” she wrote.

Kamin said there are two ways to look at how people are charged for water. One argument is that if someone uses 10 gallons a month, they should only pay for 10 gallons a month.

The counter argument is that people are not just paying for the water, but also the costs to operate the entire water district.

“Somewhere there is a balance,” said Kamin.

For instance, he added, if someone is a low-water user and pays less, someone else in the system will have to pay more.

Kamin said this does hap-pen: those using more water do pay more.

“We have a base rate that is a reasonable amount to pay,” said Kamin.

Beyond that, Kamin said members have a responsi-bility to follow the rules.

“Properties that have an ‘undocumented’ guest house are out of compliance with EWUA bylaws and the EWUA membership agree-ment they signed when they purchased the membership, or a property with a mem-bership,” said Kamin.

One problem homeown-ers could run into is if they want to sell their home. According to Kamin, if you have a guest house that is not compliant you will not be able to transfer the water district membership to the new homeowners.

For Bechtel, Kamin’s let-ter about the upgrade said to members, “We [EWUA] know you are out there and we know you are crooks and we’re going to catch you and we’re going to make you pay

and pay.”He went on to write that,

“I wouldn’t be surprised to find Paul Kamin peeking in my windows or the win-dows of my out buildings to see if I have an illegal toilet hidden somewhere.”

Conversely, Kamin sees the initiative as a benefit to all members.

The district could charge $6,000 for the upgrade, but is offering a 50 percent dis-count for members of only $3,000.

“We are trying to be gentle and have an incen-tive approach,” said Kamin. “If we do nothing, we are perpetuating a model that doesn’t support good plan-ning and is not economi-cally fair to a vast majority of members.”

For those who have been using guest houses and not paying for an additional membership, Kamin said that is not a fair practice.

“We are offering you an opportunity to fix the situ-ation and charging half of what we could and we are not trying to collect back fees,” he said. “There are no punitive actions and no judgment. We want you to help us get upgraded. The intention of the program is to develop ‘fairness’ among the EWUA members.”

Robin Jacobson loves local history, whether she is helping people find their ancestors’ graves or digging up island ghost stories.

“People are fascinated with the unknown and the concept of death,” Jacobsen. “So when you combine them, it is really a pow-erful thing.”

As a local genealogist, she has spent years researching at the San Juan Historical Museum and Washington State Archives online and in their Olympia office. She has also talked to local residents about historic buildings dating back to the late 19th cen-tury and other areas that may be potential haunting grounds for ghosts – not because she believes in ghosts, but because it’s a way to engage people with history.

“Ghost tales passed down over time become valuable as part of the lore of the building or site — distinguishable from what we know to be true,” said Sandy Strehlou, Town of Friday Harbor historic preservation coordinator, who is also inter-ested in uncovering ghost stories.

And Jacobsen and Strehlou’s research has uncovered local ghost stories abound – from eerie happenings at Rosario Resort to a hanging and haunting in Friday Harbor.

The case of Alice RheemOrcas Island residents have spotted what

is believed to be the spirit of Alice Rheem,

whose husband Donald purchased the Rosario Resort property in 1938. Rosario was Donald’s vacation home for 20 years, but Alice lived there permanently. According to Rosario’s General Manager Christopher Peacock, Alice was quite a character.

“She liked to party and was very playful,” he said. “I think her spirit is continuing that playfulness.”

Alice was known for driving into town on her Harley motorcycle, dressed in a red negligee, to play cards with the local boys. Most of the ghostly incidences at the man-sion involve the sounds of high heels click-ing across teak floors. When the mansion was shut down briefly in 2008, caretakers often heard someone moving about on the second floor only to find that no one was there. Another employee felt someone push in a chair that she was seated in only to turn around and see no one there.

Peacock added that a paranormal investi-gation was once held at the mansion and a “high level of activity was found.”

The case of Richard StraubIn 1895, Richard Straub killed Leon

Lanterman on Blakely Island. Straub, a school teacher with a history of anger management issues, claimed he killed Lanterman while defending a teenager named Irving Parberry. After the incident Straub and Parberry rowed to San Juan Island and Straub confessed to authorities.

“It’s a really sad story,” Jacobson said. “He

probably didn’t think he would be hanged.”After the confession, Straub spent two

years shuffled between the San Juan Island and Bellingham jails. While in Friday Harbor, he stayed in the jail now located on the San Juan Historical Museum grounds. Straub was tried at the Oddfellows Hall, now the Whale Museum, and found guilty.

According to Jacobson’s research, some spectators viewed the hanging, the only one ever held on San Juan, from the second floor of the Oddfellows Hall. That floor is where people now claim to feel a ghostly presence exuding a positive or neutral energy.

Jacobson said she doesn’t believe in ghosts, but she said if spirits did exist, Straub would have a reason to haunt the museum at the scene of the trial, where he was found guilty. Jacobson said there is another possible historical figure who could be haunting the museum: Sheriff Newton Jones.

“I’ve heard from descendants that he was never the same after 1895, when Straub was hanged,” said Jacobson.

Soon after the trial, Jones’ wife died and he moved off the island, never to return – at least not in human form.

Recent TV ads promot-ing I-594 tell us that it will close a “loophole” which lets felons and other violent persons acquire guns at will, without going through any kind of background check or other control. In one example, the Gunbroker.com website appears as a background graphic, while the speaker tells us that you can buy a gun by just going online, going to a gun show or by meeting someone in a parking lot somewhere. Is this true?

If you believe that it is, I strongly suggest that you try it. You will be in for a surprise. There are several gun-sales websites, includ-ing Gunbroker.com, and to buy a gun through any of them, delivery must be made through a licensed gun dealer, and only after you have passed the legally required background check. You will find that the same

method applies at gun shows, where the promoter provides the background-check service for the unli-censed participants at the show. As for buying a gun from some stranger in a parking lot, you need to know that law-abiding gun owners don’t behave like that. They will deliver only to someone known person-ally, or otherwise through a licensed dealer, because they are responsible and obey the law.

But, yes, you really could buy a gun from a stranger in a parking lot, without being bothered by the legal nice-ties. People who buy and sell guns this way are called “criminals.” A criminal, by definition, is someone who does not obey the law.

So let’s put all of this together. Passing I-594 will not prevent felons, the men-tally ill and the violent from acquiring guns, because these people do not obey the law. So what good will

I-594 do?Did you know, by the

way, that the three most recent gun massacres, in Colorado, Connecticut and California would not have been stopped by a law like I-594? The Colorado and California killers passed their background checks, in the latter case due to the inattentiveness of the local police, and bought their guns quite legally. The Connecticut killer stole the guns he used.

What, then, will I-594 do? It will burden and complicate the lives of law-abiding gun owners, but it will have absolutely no effect upon criminals or gun-crime. Under I-594, if my law-abiding friend wish-es to borrow my shotgun temporarily, we will have to formally transfer it through a licensed dealer, which includes a 10-day waiting period; and then, when he gives it back to me, we will have to go through the same process again. How, exactly, will that stop crime?

Now, somebody might say, “I don’t like guns, or the people who own them. So why should I care if their lives are burdened or complicated?” But some-one who voted to pass I-594 for that reason would be a bigot, right? And nobody wants to be a bigot. Please vote “No” on I-594.

team (5-8) lost their only game last week 4-3 against Shoreline Christian (4-9) and prepare for away games this week against Friday Harbor and LaConner.

Coach Matt Stolmeier said Javier Orantes, William Coe and Gwydion Marreth all scored but, “It was a tough loss. We only had 11 players with many players out due to ineligibility and

the flu.” Stolmeier says there is still

a chance at playoffs but it is “a tough road this week.”

The Vikings are fighting for a playoff spot for the 1B/2B Bi-District playoffs that start Oct. 30.

Girls soccerThe Lady Vikings spar-

kled last week improv-ing against a strong Friday Harbor team and achieving their first win of the season against the Concrete Lions.

Previously losing to the Wolverines 7-0, the improv-ing Vikings let two goals slip by in the first half but no more. Orcas defenders shut down the Wolverine offense in the second half and lost 2-0 but felt the game was a mental victory.

Viking goalkeeper Joanne Mietnzer “had an amaz-ing game with 18 blocks,” according to Assistant Coach Stephanie Shaw, who also noted the improved passing and confidence in

her players.Later in the week the

Vikings hammered home their first victory of the sea-son against the Concrete Lions 6-1. This was the game the hard working Lady Vikings had been wait-ing for.

Concrete scored immedi-ately but Viking middle for-ward Oliva Brunner-Gaydos stepped up and ignited her teammates with a three-goal hat trick. The Vikings had second half goals by Adia Dolan, Jacquline Figuerora and Aliza Diepenbrock.

A smiling head coach Chris Doherty said, “Pretty exciting game. The girls really wanted to win and they went out and did it.”

Next on the schedule is Mt. Vernon Christian.

VolleyballThe Lady Vikings

Volleyball team dropped matches against Friday Harbor and Concrete last week and will have to travel and focus on pivotal league games this week against teams in Darrington and LaConner.

FootballThe Vikings traveled to

face a much larger oppo-nent, the 2A Bellingham High School Red Raiders for a non-league 49-22 loss in Whatcom County.

Viking Coach Justin Frausto walked in 13 suit-ed players into beautiful Civic Stadium against a Bellingham roster resem-bling the size of the entire Orcas High School popula-tion.

Undaunted, the Vikings took on the behemoth. The Red Raiders fielded a strong running game that kept the Orcas defense run-ning and the score moving. The Vikings managed some first half highlights includ-ing a 68-yard kick off return by Jay Zier and a six-yard touchdown run by Miles Harlow after a beautiful flee flicker pass from Pasha Bullock to Ivan Bullock that nudged the Vikings close to the endzone.

The Vikings managed some offensive prowess in the second half with a six-yard touchdown run by Harlow, a 13-yard touch-down run by Zier couple with a two-point reception by Ivan Bullock.

Orcas travels to Concrete this week.

I-594: common-sense?Vikings near play-off season

Some Facts About San Juan County Proposition 1 Proposition 1 would replace the 2009 property tax “levy lid-lift”, scheduled to expire next year, with a similar measure expiring in 2020. It will produce approximately the same amount of revenue as the expiring measure. The amount authorized by the proposition is approximately 20% of the county’s general fund property tax revenue.

Proposition Background In 2009 San Juan County faced a budget crisis which forced emergency cuts – reduced operating hours, positions left unfilled, and all non-mandated county services faced severe cuts or even elimination. Then voters approved a lid-lift with proceeds earmarked for specific programs and services that were in jeopardy (see list below). Non-mandated programs would again be in jeopardy without this continued property tax revenue.

Where will the money go? Staffing and program support to Senior Services on San Juan, Orcas, and Lopez Islands - $312,000 WSU Extension programs; including 4-H, Master Gardeners, and other volunteer and agricultural programs - $148,000 Maintenance and operation of County Parks - $287,000 General fund support of the County Fair - $45,000 Staffing and program support of Public Health services on San Juan, Orcas, and Lopez Islands - $128,000 Support to Emergency Management Services - $85,000 Maintenance of County buildings and grounds - $20,000 Protection of island waters with equipment maintenance assistance funds to Islands’ Oil Spill Association - $10,000 Corrections / Work Release program - $48,000 Victim Services through the Prosecutor’s Office - $40,000

Orcas Island singer song-writer Mandy Troxel has released a new original song in honor of October’s Domestic Violence Awareness month. The song is available for free down-load, with the option to “tip” the music, with 100 per-cent of the proceeds desig-nated towards the San Juan County’s DVSAS office.

The song developed from an incident that unfolded adjacent to where Mandy was working.

“It was very scary and disturbing,” recalls Mandy. “I couldn’t shake it until I got home and wrote it all out, and then it took the form of lyrics.”

At first Mandy was con-cerned about preserving the anonymity of the parties involved, but then realized that there was anonym-ity in the fact that it was such a common scenario. She herself does not know the people involved, as they were out of view, separated by a fence.

Domestic violence aware-ness is an issue near to Mandy’s heart. While in her 20s she volunteered as a live-

in house manager at a wom-en’s shelter in San Francisco. “I met some amazing fami-lies who were working so, so hard to get themselves into a better place, physi-cally and emotionally. I also learned that domestic vio-lence is an issue that effects all of us, period.”

Reflecting on observing a recent incident so close to home, Mandy says, “It was a horrible thing to feel as though there was nothing I could do to help.” Mandy then realized that she could use her skills as a songwriter to raise awareness, and per-

haps also raise some funds for the local DVSAS office. She adds, “This presented a chance that I could help this family directly. That felt really good.”

The song, “Why’d you have to do this here?” was recorded at the Olgabowl on Orcas Island. Bruce Harvie and violinist Leah Ballou lent their instru-mentation to the song. Visit www.MandyTroxel.com for the song. All tips will go to the San Juan County’s DVSAS office.

By request of islanders, the Skagit Habitat for Humanity Store truck will be back on Orcas on Monday, Oct. 27. This time the truck will only be at the Island Market parking lot (on the west side), and will be there from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. or until the truck is full.

Maura O’Neill will lead a course on world religions over five Wednesdays from Oct. 22 to Nov. 19 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Orcas Senior Center.

“In today’s world, religion gets much of the blame for violence and strife affecting us all,” O’Neill said. “This course is designed to get to the heart of the beliefs

and practices of five of the world’s religions in order to discern the truth of such claims.”

The traditions that will be discussed are Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism.

O’Neill is a retired pro-fessor of philosophy and religious studies from Chaffey College in Southern California. She has her doctorate in philosophy of religion from Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, Calif., and is the author of two books on women in world religions.

There will be a cost of $30 for members and $50 for non-members of the senior center.

Course on world religions

William “Bill” Longworth

Bill Longworth, 71, passed away on Sunday, Oct. 12, 2014 in Mount Vernon, Wash., with his family by his side. He was born Sept. 16, 1943 in Buffalo, New York to William and Kathleen Longworth. He was raised in California and graduated from Inglewood High School in 1961. He went on to attend Pierce Community College, attain-ing an Associate’s Degree in Civil Engineering.

He met his wife, Cindy, in the summer of 1970 through her brother Scott.

They quickly fell in love and were married by November of that year.

They honeymooned at Lake Tahoe and stayed there for the next 20 years, raising their two sons, until they moved to Orcas Island in 1990.

After Bill and Cindy mar-ried, he worked as a civil engineer until he decided

that he would rather build houses instead of just designing them. During his career, and with the partnership of Cindy, he designed and built numer-ous custom homes around the Tahoe basin and, for the next 24 years, in the San Juan Islands.

What brought Bill and his family to Orcas Island was the desire to help establish a congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses there, because he felt that the community would benefit from learning about the bible.

Bill was well known and respected within the islands and had an excellent repu-tation as a fine craftsman and a kind and honest man. He also loved riding motor-

cycles and instilled this love in his sons. Additionally, he enjoyed building things just for fun, restoring old vehi-cles, reading classic fiction, and watching bad “B” old sci-fi movies.

Bill is survived by his wife of 44 years, Cindy, their children, Brian and Eric, his children from a previ-ous marriage, Jessie, Jon and Jason, as well as seven grandchildren.

There will be a memorial service for Bill on Sunday, Nov. 16 at 2 p.m. at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, in Eastsound, Wash. A reception will immediately follow at the Orcas Center. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.

Obituaries

Bill PollockNo one ever wants to outlive their

children, but life doesn’t ask us what we want ... it just happens. My son, Bill Pollock, passed away Wednesday night from what appears to have been a mas-sive heart attack. He was only 49. Too young. Too soon. But, nonetheless, gone from me, his daughter Madison Pollock whom he loved so dearly, and from all those who shared his joys and challenges, his pain and laughter.

In the not-too-distant future, those closest to him will be gathering togeth-er to sail out to sea to scatter his ashes on the waters where he so loved to be. And like the wonderful poem by Mary Elizabeth Frye, he will become the “thousand winds that blow, the diamond glints on snow, the sun on

ripened grain, the gentle autumn rain ...” He did not die.

An account has been set up at Key Bank on Orcas Island to accept dona-tions towards Madison’s college fund for those wishing to make a contribu-tion to honor Bill’s life. Check may be made payable to Madison Pollock College Fund Donation Acct. and sent to Key Bank, PO Box 30, Eastsound, Wash. 98245.

The outpouring of kind thoughts, hugs, prayers, and sweet words has been generous and unrelenting from this loving community, and we want to thank all of you for being the won-derful people you are. Life goes on, life happens and life is precious. Hug your kids a little tighter, and keep your friends and family close.

– Madie Murray

Healing arts fair

by EMILY GREENBERGJournal reporter

Two big people and one big dog are puttering around the islands this month on a 13-foot, restored, 1950 vintage ski boat.

The Big Dipper, the only “pocket yacht” of its kind, is Jeff and Linda Patterson’s pride and joy, their window to the world, so to speak, and a venture in adaptability.

“Flexibility is really important for us,” Jeff Patterson said. “We want to see a lot of places and do a lot of things, but we don’t want to put a lot of money into it.”

The Pattersons rescued the Big Dipper in 1998. It sat on a trailer off the street, full of planted Azaleas. They bought the boat for $50, planted the flowers in their yard and began restor-ing the boat.

Step back in time to 1978 where Jeff was on the verge of entering archi-tectural school. That year he and his father came to the San Juan Islands on a sailing trip. A broken engine and a stop-over in Friday Harbor would change his life forever.

Patterson apprenticed under yacht designer Jay Benford whose philoso-phy was to design boats that were affordable to maintain and own. However, he went on to study crimi-nology and became a reserve officer in

the islands before returning to Oregon and finding the Big Dipper.

Somewhere along the way, Linda and Jeff got married and in the early 2000s returned to the islands, where the Big Dipper functioned as a crab-bing boat. Over the years Jeff became a sheriff ’s deputy on Orcas and Lopez and Linda worked as a dental hygien-ist. Now semi-retired, the Pattersons presently enjoy a life of travel, creativ-ity (she’s an artist and writer, he’s a pot-ter) and construct small pond yachts in Ashland, Ore.

At this year’s Wooden Boat Festival in Port Townsend, they happened upon a tiny boat like theirs, but this one had a cabin top. Jeff went to work immediately designing and building a cabin for the Big Dipper.

“I built it in eight weeks and lost 20 pounds,” he said. “We wanted to get it done so we could have some time out on the water this fall.”

And so they have it. The tiny boat relaunched three weeks ago and was then trailered up to the San Juans behind their pickup truck, which, as far as pickups go, is tiny, too. Even though the Pattersons stand tall, he at 6-foot 5-inches, she at 5-foot 10-inch-es and their dog Polly weighs about 85 pounds, there are no plans for a bigger boat.

The beauty of the boat is that the Pattersons don’t have to drive it in the water to get to wherever they are going, and they’re happy to camp on land or sea. The San Juans, Alaska, Lake Tahoe, the Columbia and Snake rivers – there are big plans for this little boat.

“If you’re in a small boat and it’s raining with a dog and you’re not get-ting along,” he said, “you’re really not getting along. Everything you do has to be with the other person’s best inter-est at heart.”

The TedX Orcas Island Conference is scheduled for Nov. 8 from morning until afternoon at Orcas Center.

Early bird tickets have sold out but a limited num-ber of discounted tier 1 tickets are on sale at www.TEDxOrcasIsland.com

The event is one day with more than a dozen speakers, musical performances and more. Talks are limited to 18 minutes or less. Lunch will be offered as an add-on by the New Leaf Cafe.

The theme is “This IS America” and will explore the relationship between island individualism and our place within the larger collective American experi-ment. The event is curated by Adam Farish and sup-ported by a team of collabo-rators. Here is a sampling of the speakers.

TJ Martin is the co-director and academy award winner of the 2012 best feature documentary film “Undefeated.” Martin’s Oscar win made him the first director of African American descent to receive an Academy Award for a feature-length film. Following this achievement, Martin was listed on Ebony Magazine’s Power 100 list. That same year, Martin also

received the award for out-standing achievement in directing from the Seattle International Film Festival.

Rhea Miller is a social art-ist and the Assistant Director of Lopez Community Land Trust. She served more than 10 years as County Commissioner of San Juan County. She has been inter-viewed on “Good Morning America Sunday” and “CBS Sunday Morning,” and has a long history as a com-munity organizer with international experience. She completed a Master of Divinity in Feminist Liberation Theology from the Episcopal Divinity School, Cambridge, Mass., and authored the book “Cloudhand, Clenched Fist: Chaos, Crisis, and the Emergence of Community.”

Miller lives on Lopez Island in a straw bale home with a wastewater garden, rainwater catchment, com-posting toilet and peace gar-dens full of vegetables and flowers.

Paul Freedman is the father of two teenage chil-dren and he has been an elementary school teacher for 22 years in both public and independent schools. In 2001 he became the found-ing head of Orcas Island’s

Salmonberry School, where he continues to work. Freedman holds an MA in Education from Goddard College.

Jeremiah “Jay” Julius (Sle-lh’x elten) of the Lummi Nation is an Officer (Secretary) of the governing

body of the Lummi Nation (Lummi Indian Business Council), and is the son of Doreen Lane and Michael Julius, the grandson of the late Vernon and Nancy Lane. As a fisherman and crabber, he understands the importance of fishing for the way of life and heritage of the Lummi people.

Tedx: ‘This IS America’

Bill Nighy and Carey Mulligan star in David Hare’s award-winning play about money, class, politics and love. “Skylight” will be presented at Orcas Center on Thursday, Oct. 23 at 7:30 p.m.

On a bitterly cold London evening, schoolteacher Kyra Hollis (Carey Mulligan) receives an unexpected visit from her former lover, Tom Sergeant (Bill Nighy), a successful and charismatic restaurateur whose wife has recently died.

As the evening progresses, the two attempt to rekindle their once passionate relationship only to find themselves locked in a dangerous battle of opposing ideologies and mutual desires.

Nighy recreates the role of Tom that he originated when Skylight opened in 1995. Stephen

Daldry directs David Hare's Olivier winning play. David Hare is the author of 29 plays for stage, including “Plenty” and “Stuff Happens.” His many screenplays include “The Hours” and “The Reader.”

Tickets are $18, $13 for students, $2 off for Orcas Center members, and may be purchased at www.orcascenter.org or by calling 376-2281 ext. 1.

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.
