The San Juan County budget needs a major over-haul to prevent continued annual emergency reduc-tions, County Councilman Richard Fralick told Orcas Islanders recently.

“I don’t think any of you would want to run a business this way,” said Fralick at a May 23 town hall meeting. “Our expenditures grow faster than our revenues, and this goes on year after year ... Going with the status quo – no new or augmented programs – by 2017 you have an $8 million problem.”

Fralick said the council hopes to conservatively restructure the county’s budget across a six-year planning horizon to eliminate the need for large annual budget cuts. The county’s total budget is $48 million; of that, most county services other than roads are paid for by a $14 million “general fund,” 80 percent of which directly funds personnel. San Juan County employed 153 people in 2008, and now employs just 120.

Fralick estimates that without adding services, county expenses grow at a rate of about 4 percent, while current tax regulations ensure that the county’s revenue growth remains near 2 percent.

“We’re at a point now where we can’t keep cutting personnel without significant impacts on services,” Fralick said.

While a county reserve policy was enacted in 2009,

he said more action is necessary to keep the budget balanced into the future. The levy lid lift passed by voters in 2009 to stave off service cuts will expire in 2016 unless renewed, accounting for $2 million of Fralick’s potential 2017 deficit.

“Every year we have a crisis; every year we have to figure out how to make this work,” Fralick said. “Quite frankly, we’ve run out of options.”

One option that will be on the August primary ballot is a .3 percent public safety tax authorized by Washington state but not yet approved by San Juan County voters. The tax could generate $1.1 million per year, with a caveat: 40 percent of the money would

be dedicated to Friday Harbor. The county’s 60 percent portion would support public safety, free-ing up general fund monies for other purposes.

Asked about the county’s efforts to stimulate industry, council chair Patty Miller said that one serious inhibitor to high-tech industry in the county is its lack of high speed broadband infrastructure.

The council members also dis-cussed the progress of the Critical Areas Ordinance, solid waste situation, the development of a Shoreline Master Plan and the selection of a new county admin-istrator to replace departing employee Pete Rose.

Regarding solid waste, private contractor propos-als from those wishing to take a shot at running the Orcas Island transfer station are due July 9. Bidders may include Cimarron Trucking, San Juan Sanitation, Kentec USA and even the Exchange, she said. Plans are on target for an early fourth quarter transition of the station to private hands.

With grant money on the hori-zon, setting up trash cans for Eastsound is one step closer to fruition.

“Everyone wants to make the right decisions, so it may be slow going,” said Orcas Chamber Director Lance Evans. “I think it’s long overdue for Eastsound and our visitors. I am excited about it – as excited as one can be about garbage and recycling.”

The San Juan County Lodging Tax grant program designated $8,000 to pay for the initial cost of purchasing six cans. The coun-ty council has the authority to

change that amount; it looks at the lodging tax committee recom-mendations in June.

“It’s not a done deal,” Evans said. “Until the county signs off, we can’t go ahead and plan on it.”

The grants are funded by a por-tion of the revenue collected under the state lodging tax. Around $350,000 in grant funds will be dispersed in early 2013.

The chamber, which is sponsor-ing the initiative, hopes to have a few of the garbage and recycling cans put up by mid-summer, as San Juan Sanitation has already pledged $1,000 towards the con-

The Orcas Island Lions Club will be handing out information on the White Canes Program and the Orcas Island Lions Club.

On June 8 and 9, the Orcas Island Lions Club will be in front of Island Market from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m, asking for donations to support sight programs of the Northwest Lions Foundation.

For the 43rd year, Lions Club members have been campaigning across Washington and north-ern Idaho for the annual White Canes Day fund-raising event. The Orcas Island Lions, in partner-ship with the Northwest

Lions Foundation, protect and restore sight for kids and adults in the Pacific Northwest.

The foundation gives the gift of sight through the fol-lowing programs:

Patient Care Grants The Foundation provides

grants to Lions Clubs to assist people in their own community who need treat-ment for sight loss but can-not afford it.

Health Screening Unit This program provides

free health screenings for vision, hearing, glaucoma, diabetes and high blood pressure. About 30 percent of the people screened find

they have health problems of which they were previ-ously unaware.

Project Support Grants Special grants are avail-

able to Lions Clubs and other community organiza-tions to help support vision and hearing – related pro-grams in their local areas. The Orcas Island Lions Club would like to thank fellow Lion Chris White for his many generous services provided to the community through the Club.

For more information, call Jim Biddick at 376-2488 or stop by a meeting any Wednesday at noon at American Legion Post 93.

Fundraising for eyesight

David Kelly has announced his resigna-tion as San Juan County’s Deputy Director of Administration effective June 29.

Kelly, who joined the county’s staff in July of 2010, is leaving to become City Administrator of Selah in Yakima County.

Kelly was a major player in the county’s budgeting process and he was instrumental in negotiating an employee medical insur-ance contract that avoided a budget-busting 22 percent increase in rates that could have require budget cuts equivalent to the lay-off of seven county employees.

In his letter of resignation to County Administrator Pete Rose, Kelly thanked Rose for the opportunity to work with him and concluded by offering his “best wishes to you, the county council and all of the people of San Juan County who have made me and my family feel welcome in this com-munity.”

In accepting Kelly’s resignation, Rose noted that the detailed and flexible budget forecast model Kelly created will serve the county for years to come.

Rose is also in his final days with San Juan County, having announced his resig-nation May 1 to become City Administrator of Lake Forest Park in King County. His final day on the job is June 8.

The council has selected veteran govern-ment manager Robert Jean to act as admin-istrator until a permanent administrator is hired. The council has decided not to seek a candidate for the permanent position until after the November general election. Charter Review Commission proposals on the November ballot could reshape the county’s government and the administra-tor’s job description.

No decision has been made concerning Kelly’s replacement.

County deputy director resigns Late last month, the Lopez Solid Waste

Disposal District Advisory Board submit-ted a draft operations plan to the San Juan County Council for a locally operated solid waste and recycling operation.

The plan outlines the services to be offered at the current county drop box facility on Fisherman Bay Road when the council proceeds with establishing a Lopez Island Solid Waste Disposal District. The document addresses personnel and equip-ment needs, markets for recyclables, logisti-cal and site plans, environmental issues, and legal requirements. The plan also includes a draft facilities lease and agreement with the county and a cash flow model. Neil Hanson, operations manager at the county site, helped shape many elements of the plan.

According to the plan, the island’s beloved Take-It-Or-Leave-It facility, where usable household items and clothing find new homes for no charge, will remain in place and other recycling services, such as elec-tronic waste, could be added as finances permit. Solid Waste Alternatives Project, the nonprofit membership organization spearheading the drive to create a LSWDD, would continue in a support role to raise funds to supplement the district budget, promote district activities, and coordinate volunteers.

On May 15, Lopez Islanders turned in 1478 signatures in support of establish-ing the LSWDD. County Auditor Milene Henley certified 962 valid signatures, rep-resenting 51.9 percent of currently regis-tered voters on Lopez, easily surpassing the 550 signatures Council Chairwoman Patty Miller requested as a demonstration of support.

Supporters celebrated the conclusion of the petition drive with a potluck at the Lopez Take-It-Or-Leave It/Drop Box facil-ity, complete with live music, banners, and floral tributes.

If the council approves the LSWDD, Lopez voters will need to endorse a prop-erty tax measure on the November ballot to provide partial funding of the solid waste operation, supplementing revenue from disposal fees.

The members of the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District Advisory Board are Sandy Bishop, Bruce Creps, Larry Eppenbach, Dan Post and Page Read.

Strategic planning is underway for Washington State Park and Recreation Commission.

The governor has stated that Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission must have a financial plan

in place by Aug. 1 for state parks. WSPRC is seeking public input on the three possible alternatives: should parks be operated as a non-profit; treated as an asset with reduced services; or, as a business enterprise.

The Friends of Moran will host a meeting on June 9 at 2 p.m. in the Eastsound Fire Hall to discuss themes and present ideas.

Moran State Park hosts more than 800,000 visitors annually and has a signif-icant impact on the local economy.

“Our community has con-tinuously shown support to Friends and Moran State Park on June 9 – we need your attention and atten-dance,” said Michel Vekved, President of Friends of Moran.

Magnificent mushroom workshop

A special thanks to Kyler Townsend, Learner Limbach, and Food Masters for a wonder-ful mycology seminar this past weekend at the Liberty Garden in Eastsound.

Not only was it fun to learn propagation methods for the oyster and shiitake strands of mushrooms, but I found the myco-remediation information session to be fascinat-ing (a process where mushroom strands are introduced to eat the “bad” stuff out of the soil; even oil and antifreeze, for pennies on the dollar).

The Eastsound community has recently built the wastewater man-agement area behind the village green that deals with roughly 70 percent of runoff and the remain-ing 30 percent remains an unre-solved question to which I believe I have now seen the answer.

Many in our community seek to have our county lead the way in green methods of living and therefore I think that we should put some strong consideration towards enacting some of these simple and cost effective methods in our roadside ditches and runoff. Mr. Townsend has shown himself to be a knowledgeable, passionate, and willing resource towards making some progressive change and we would be very wise to embrace his expertise.

Lions Health Screening worth the effort

I would like to take this oppor-tunity to thank all the many indi-viduals who contributed their time and effort to make the Lions Health Screening on May 7 and 8 pos-sible. Over 182 man-hours went into this project. A huge thanks to the following Lions for their help during the event: Jim Biddick, Bill Buchan, Melissa Halwax, Pam Harney, Toby Hiller, Mike Jonas, Leif, John Lofland, Paul Losleben, Dave McPeake, Kim Rose, Linda Tretheway, Mac Trunkey, Carol Vinent-Hall, Diane Whitley, Patrick

Whitley, Ed Zimmerman and non-lion Jen Bentley. Thanks guys. We couldn’t have done it without you.

A special thanks to the Northwest Lions Foundation for Sight and Hearing for sponsoring the “Van.” The Screening Unit crew, Mike and Pat Parker, who travel all over Washington and western Idaho and made this event possible.

I would like to convey my thanks to the Sounder for getting the mes-sage out about our event. If the community doesn’t find out about us, all our efforts are in vain. Last, but most important, I would like to thank the community who par-ticipated in the event. One hun-dred and fifty two islanders, includ-ing eight children, turned out and made our efforts worthwhile.

For those of you who discovered potential health problems, I hope you follow-up with the appropriate care. If we can help just one person prevent an emergency or improve their health status, it was all worth the effort. If you missed this year’s screening, look for us next year!

Unfair claim that Republicans are anti-environment

I understand how David Dehlendorf feels when he expresses his frustration at being misrepre-sented as I felt misrepresented by his letter (“Do you want America to fail,” letters, May 22, 2012). I looked up the video, and found that it did not mention Mr. Dehlendorf, the San Juan Islands, or Earth day.

However, setting aside the

video, which I am sure we could argue over, if there is any ques-tion whether Republicans support the cleaning up of litter let me say as the local representative of the Dan Matthews (R) for Congress campaign that we greatly appreci-ate Mr. Dehlendorf ’s efforts to do so. In 2009 the Journal announced Mr. Dehlendorf was their Citizen of the Year for his anti-litter initiative. Anybody who goes through the trouble of organizing such a large cleanup project deserves respect, no matter our differences.

Let me say, though, that I do find the attempt to turn a voluntary anti-litter initiative into a politi-cal issue to be aggravating. I am quite confident that many, many Republicans turned out to help. Candidate Dan Matthews him-self is a founding member of the Cousteau Society and a member of the Nature Conservancy. We like clean air and clean water as much as anybody.

It is fair to say, though, that we do dislike Byzantine regulatory regimes designed to deter without actually deciding, that we believe in property rights, and that we reject the excesses of some environmen-tal measures. Our opponent Rick Larsen (D), for instance, declined to limit regulation of farm dust – i.e. regular dust (see HR 1633, 12/8/11). If it was, say, radioactive matter produced from uranium mining, great! But dust? Couldn’t local governments manage farm dust if there was a problem?

We also dislike the distortions an excess of zeal can create: in Washington, for instance, the

Editorial

Literature. It’s one of the beautiful things that separate humans from the rest of the animal kingdom. Literature is also an escape. Curling up on a couch, we read

stories of adventure or love and drift away into the pages of another realm. Roald Dahl immortalized the importance of books in “Mat-ilda,” when he wrote “[her] strong young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all those authors who had sent their books out into the world like ships on the sea. These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: You are not alone.” And if that’s not enough to get you to the library, according to the National Assessment of Adult Literacy, books make more successful people. Two-thirds of students who cannot read proficiently by the end of the fourth grade will end up in jail or on welfare.According to the Department of Justice, “the link between academic failure and delinquency, violence, and crime is welded to reading failure.” Over 70 percent of inmates in America’s prisons cannot read above a fourth grade level.And the facts get more dismal.According to the National Center for Education Statistics, only 53 percent of children ages three to five were read to daily by a family member.The estimated cost of illiteracy to taxpayers and businesses is $20 billion per year. Seventy five percent of Fortune 500 companies provide some level of remedial training for an estimated 8 million workers at an estimated cost of $300 million per year, according to Laubach Literacy Action.Thirty four million adults function at below basic literacy levels, meaning they are unable to complete simple literacy tasks such as filling out a job application or a deposit slip or reading a prescrip-tion label, according to the National Assessment of Adult Literacy.In our community, there is hope for literacy. The literacy alignment project for pre-school to third graders, led by Dave Matteson, is happening at Orcas Island School District with the help of several passionate islanders. This project is a national movement to develop the cognitive and social skills for children that establish strong foundations for future learning.And when reading thrives, that is where the magic of the castaway “Robinson Crusoe,” Aladdin’s lamp of “One Thousand and One Nights,” and the Sneetches of Dr. Suess will live forever.

Mayoral campaign is underway

I was so excited to see the “Pet Parade” on Saturday, May 26 that I nearly slipped my leash! It was howling fun to see all the different kinds of pets. But the most amazing thing was getting an up-close look at the can-didates for mayor. I know Children’s House has orga-nized this fundraising cam-paign for a number of years, but this was the first time I was able to attend and

actually get a chance to sniff each candidate.

There are some special pets running this year, including Sir Clarence the “peacock,” Mofo the “roost-er,” Caprica the “pygmy goat,” Mr. Antiquus, a kinda “bison” and even The Biped, who I like to refer to as “dog’s best friend.” (I’m not sure whose pet he is, but good luck fella!)

I already voted on Saturday. I took $5 from my “doggie” bank and voted for each candidate. Once I hear more about what they’ll do as mayor, I’ll decide who to officially sup-port. Meanwhile, I want to encourage all of my buddies to get out and vote. Each vote is a $1, but you can vote as many times as you want. All votes benefit the kids of Children’s House (who inci-dentally love to pet me.) So, get out there and vote – vote – vote! Maybe next year I’ll throw my own doggie bone into the race!

Donors: the heroes of OISD

Last Saturday, the Orcas Island Education Foundation hosted its 9th Annual “Food for Thought” event at Four Winds Camp. It was a beautiful evening, with great people, fantas-tic student art and delicious food. Overall, it was a ter-rific party.

A special thank you “shout out” to all the volunteers: Phil and Marta Branch, Matthew Chasanoff, Pete Freeman, Kyle Freeman, April Pollock, Scott and Lindsay Lancaster, Margaret Alik, Annie Ryder, Linda Sheridan, Wylie Kau, Nile Reed, Rollie Sauer, Mackey Cardinell, Lance Evans, Monica and Bob Connell, Kate Long. More thanks to Susan Stoltz, Janna Carter, Kim Freeman, Michelle Reed, Barb Skotte, Madie Murray, and Paul “Brisket King” Sheridan for all the great food.

As always, commu-

nity donations helped us through. We could not have done this without the gen-erous gift of location from Four Winds Camp. Orcas Island Shuttle helped our guests get to the venue. Jim Passer donated beer, and Rick Hughes and Geddes Martin kindly contributed some fine wine. And I can-not forget to mention the musical contribution by the fabulous JP and the Rhythm Boys. Thank you to all of you.

Chris Sutton and Michelle Reed made sure the auction and check out went well. So a special thank you to their efforts and patience with all things computer.

To everyone who attend-ed, and gave – you are true heroes to our public schools. My gratitude for your con-tinued support of our stu-dents and staff is deeper than words can express. But I’ll try with two of the sim-plest: thank you.

Enzos: the hub of Eastsound

On Lopez, 954 residents have signed a petition sup-porting a ballot measure that would fund a Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District. On San Juan Island, the coun-cil is in discussion with the Town of Friday Harbor. See full story on page 3.

As for the CAO update, Miller encouraged islanders to weigh in on issues still up for debate at upcoming public hearings (see side-bar).

“It’s not a done deal,” she said.

By the end of September, the council hopes to be put-ting the update into law.

“There are repercussions of not complying with state law,” Miller said.

Should Governor Christine Gregoire tire of waiting for San Juan County to complete its long-over-due update (the updating process began in 2003 with an original deadline for completion in 2005), dis-ciplinary procedures could include a complete mora-torium on building permits and the withholding of all state roads funding.

While Miller fully expects the final product to be chal-lenged in court, she hopes the county’s update will stand up to the test.

Attendee Leaf Templin said that in 2002, when the CAO update require-ment first surfaced, Friday Harbor quickly reviewed its CAO and submitted it with-out a challenge.

Miller responded that Skagit County’s plan also passed unchallenged into law, but when Whatcom County followed suit with an identical update, the plan was challenged by some-one and overturned by the Growth Hearings Board.

“That is the nature of this law,” Miller said.

Auditor Milene Henley reported on her recent county data that suggests the construction industry may be getting stronger while real estate remains depressed. Sales tax appears to be up 9.5 percent from last year’s numbers, and construction is still making up 9 percent less of county sales tax than it did in 2008.

She sounded cautiously optimistic, saying, “Maybe we’ve actually bottomed out and will start going up.”

tainers’ costs and some of the participating business will pitch for the monthly pick-up fee. The cost of gar-bage pick-up for one year is around $6,500, an amount that has not yet been raised.

Ray’s Pharmacy owner Rick Hughes and fellow local business owner Jeff Hanson of Pawki’s have been the driving forces behind the project. They were spurred on by the efforts of Salmonberry Elementary School students, who picked up litter in Eastsound but couldn’t find public trash receptacles. They decided to learn about the cost of solid waste pickup and formed an organization called “Kids for the Environment through Litter Prevention.” In part-nership with members of the Eastsound Planning Review Committee, these young activists offered to raise the funds for one week of garbage collection for six new cans in Eastsound.

Volunteers for the project also worked with San Juan County so designated busi-

ness owners don’t have to apply for a right of way per-mit to put the cans in front of their store. Tentatively, the cans will be at Ray’s, Orcas Homegrown Market, Pawkis, Wally Gudgell’s new building, Cherie Lindholm Real Estate and between the public restrooms and the historical museum.

Evans says they are open to hearing about structure designs to cover the cans. Local blacksmith Jorgen

Harle designed a steel unit that will hold the 33-gal-lon garbage and recycling containers. The require-ments were that it had to last for 20 plus years, have an angled roof, have small holes for disposal so people couldn’t fit home garbage in, and be heavy enough that it couldn’t be stolen. The metal sides were designed so that nonprofits can put up promotions.

“We are willing to look

at other designs but this is the only design that some-one stepped forward with,” Hughes said. “We’d love public feedback … but I also want to get this project done.”

To submit a design or give suggestions on Harle’s prototype, which is available to see at Ray’s Pharmacy, email Hughes at [email protected].

“Our preference is to get it built locally on the island,” Evans said.

Learning what it’s like to fly a plane is an opportu-nity that few would pass up. Every year the Experimental Aircraft Association on Orcas provides young people a chance to take to the skies with an experi-enced local pilot, as part of the Young Eagles Program developed to interest more young people in flying.

“I know that we have influenced young people’s lives because I get letters from those I have taken on a Young Eagles flight,” local EAA organizer Beverly

Franklet said. A pilot for more than

18 years, Franklet is one of about six local pilots who donate their time to taking between 40 and 75 partici-pants up in their personal planes each year.

The rides will be con-ducted between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 9, and those interested should come to the Port of Orcas Biplane Hangar.

For those who fly with Franklet, they will be in her 180 horsepower Cessna 172 and the experience is free of

charge.The pilots may explain

to each participant, between the ages of eight and 17, what will happen during the flight.

Most Young Eagle flights last about 30 minutes. Each participant will receive an official Young Eagles Certificate, a free EAA student membership and more.

For more information, contact Beverly Franklet from the EAA Chapter 937 at 376-4763

The San Juan Preservation Trust has acquired the 687-acre Red Mill Farm on San Juan Island, the largest working farm in the San Juan archipelago.

Red Mill Farm is located in the fertile agricultural lands of San Juan Valley. The property was purchased in the 1960’s by Dodie Gann and her late husband, the author Ernest Gann. After

donating a 40-acre parcel to the San Juan Preservation Trust in 1980 (the first land transaction in the organiza-tion’s 33-year history), the Ganns donated a conserva-tion easement on their Red Mill Farm property in 1991 that restricted future devel-opment to 13 home sites.

The couple’s long com-mitment to land conserva-tion was spurred to action

as they saw important farmland in the valley being carved into small residential parcels.

“If you watch it being destroyed, you get protec-tive,” Dodie said.

When Ernie Gann died in 1991, the property’s ownership was divided in two, with one-half interest going to Dodie Gann and the other half-interest going

into a trust that benefited Ernie’s family from a previ-ous marriage.

In a series of transactions that concluded on May 18, Dodie Gann donated her half-interest in the property to the San Juan Preservation Trust, which then purchased the other half-interest from the beneficiaries of Ernie’s trust for $1 million.

“After years of worry-ing about the future of our farm, it feels like a heavy weight has been lifted from my shoulders,” said Dodie.

While this represents a

significant investment in the future of local food produc-tion in the San Juan Islands, there will be no changes in the foreseeable future. Dodie Gann has retained a life estate that allows her to live on the property through her lifetime, and Greg Black, who currently manages Red Mill Farm and its cattle operation, will continue in his current role for as long as he wishes.

The Preservation Trust will assume the responsi-bility for paying property taxes, which will remain

unchanged.The trust now owns

offered a big thank you on behalf of the Lady Vikings to the Orcas community for raising $2,000 in two days, enabling the Vikings to compete in the state softball playoffs in Yakima, Wash. on May 26.

Harris said there are four important factors you need to succeed in the state play-offs: the skills your team has, the draw you get, the experience you bring and luck. Harris was confident in the skills of his young team, but when matched against the heavily favored Napavine Tigers in the first of two games, Harris knew having only one out of four factors meant a “big chal-lenge.” Harris was right, as the Vikings lost both games against the Tigers and the

Brewster Bears.The underdog Vikings

initially fought hard against the Tigers, keeping the score manageable by the end of the third inning 6-0, but the Vikings’ youth and inexperi-ence was eventually exposed against what Harris called “the strongest team we had met this year.”

The onslaught of hard Tiger hits triggered eight Viking fielding errors in the fourth inning, helping the Tigers score six runs, stretching the score to 12-0. The ten run rule was applied in the fifth inning, ending the game 21-0.

Freshly bruised with play-off experience, the Vikings faced the Brewster Bears in game two. Stumbling in the first inning with three fielding errors, the Vikings gave up three runs to the

hard hitting Bears, leaving Orcas behind 3-0. Poised and adjusting to the speed of power teams, the Vikings began to play better and scored their first runs of the playoffs in the fifth inning. On base due to a walk, Bella Nigretto scored on an Aliviah Garcia’s double followed by an RBI single by Kirsten Fowler, scoring the second Viking run of the day. In the sixth inning, Alicia Jo Susol singled with Huxley Smart pinch running and eventually stealing third base. A Nigretto RBI double brought home Smart for the Vikings’ third and final run of the day. The Vikings lost 9-3 in seven innings.

Harris was proud of his young team’s performance. He said this was one of the most talented state tourna-ments he has seen in years.

by CALI BAGBY Men, women and chil-

dren gather at the starting line ready to run a 5K and show their support for a nonprofit that aims to end domestic violence and sex-ual assault.

“It creates awareness and the run is a metaphor for how we can make a ‘move-ment,’ how we can challenge abuse and change lives,” said Anita Castle, director of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services.

The Fourth Annual DVSAS 5K Run and Walk is Saturday, June 9, registra-tion begins at 8 a.m. and the race commences at 9 a.m. at Orcas High School.

The race is one large loop around town, down North Beach Road and finishes at the school. The course is relatively flat and on paved roads or gravel trails.

Awards will be given to the top three female and male finishers and top fin-ishers in eight different age

categories.“There is an empower-

ment element to the race – people feel good when they are taking part of something that is bigger than them-selves and involves some-thing worthy,” Castle said. “You’re moving, running for a special cause, which is very important.”

The 5K helps to raise funds and raises awareness for the community and how others can be a part of stop-ping sexual and domestic assault.

Castle said there are still people on the islands that would like to believe that sexual assault does not hap-pen, but its important for everyone to acknowledge abuse happens and that there is hope to end that cycle.

The motto of the race, “be the solution,” is a phrase borrowed from Sexual Assault Awareness month and asks people to not be bystanders and to actively promote change in society.

Registration fees are $15 for 19-year-olds and older, $10 for 18-year-olds and under and $20 for T-shirts.

Island Living

by CALI BAGBYStaff reporter

Kari Schuh wears many hats. Her latest one has been helping to improve literacy for island children.

Schuh’s interest in developing young readers came to her via the literacy alignment project for pre-school to third graders, led by Dave Matteson, author and educator. The project is a national movement to develop the cognitive and social skills for children that establish strong foundations for future learning. The program focuses on leadership, instruction, commu-nity partnerships and family engage-ment.

Use of language and knowledge of “literacy” when entering kinder-garten is critical to a student’s abil-ity to become a fluent reader and writer by third grade, according to the Northwest Educational Service District’s website.

“I was wanting to drink the David Matteson ‘kool-aid,’” said Schuh, who is also the special education director at the Orcas Island School District. “He was booked all of last year, but in October there was a potential for us to sign on.”

The next step was funding.Matteson’s time, covered by the

Northwest Educational Service

District and a Gates Foundation grant, was not a problem but the Orcas Island staff and extra materials needed for the program was sorely lacking any finances.

“The money needed adds up quickly,” Schuh said.

Shuch started writ-ing a grant applica-tion with Montessori, Children’s House and Kaleidoscope.

Luckily, funds to the tune of $12,252 came through from the Orcas Island Community Foundation, the Orcas Branch of the Lutheran Church of the San Juan Islands and an anony-mous donor.

“The church wants to support the needs of the community and we’re especially con-cerned about children,” said Pastor Anne Hall, of the Lutheran Church. “Literacy is essential to be able to succeed and thrive in this society and do good.”

On May 19, Matteson led his first overview session with staff. Next year he will hold three full day classroom

demonstrations starting in September and three half day professional devel-opment sessions.

“Matteson is going to teach tech-niques, incorporating story telling,

art, reading and writing all in one ball of wax,” Schuh said.

Matteson focuses on what teachers can be doing to make sure kids are developing literacy skills. He’s not afraid to help students using his own

hands to draw a square or circle, which are the pictures that create a foundation for reading.

“We don’t start at the words and let-ters and sounds – in writing we start

with the idea that we have a story to tell and we’re gonna draw pic-tures to tell the story and then we’re gonna think about words,” said Matteson in an introduction video about the program.

Matteson is an instructor who has received rave reviews across the northwest. Test scores have rock-eted in other districts after they participated in the program, said Schuh.

For Pastor Hall, lit-eracy opens the door to a better future in and outside of the classroom.

“Literacy is also a way out of poverty,” Hall said. “All children deserve an equal chance to thrive.”

The June 14 meeting of the Cancer Support Group will be held at 5 p.m. in the Fireside Room of Orcas Island Community Church. The guest speaker will be Jon Prescott, Patient Navigator of Island Hospital Cancer Care Center.

The center relocated in January 2012 to the beautiful new Medical Arts Pavilion on the Island Hospital campus. Prescott will provide information about the center’s relationship with other cancer treatment centers and hospitals.

The meeting will also include time for sharing among members. Whether you are a patient, caregiver, relative, or friend of someone with cancer, you are welcome to come and share and hear other’s stories, say organizers. This confidential no-cost group meets monthly for mutual support. In July, organizers will be celebrating two years as an ongoing support group.

It was so much fun, they want to do it again. The Orcas Island Community Band will return to the

annual BandFest in Ladner, British Columbia, on Sunday, June 10. The Orcas Band made its debut appear-ance at the festival in 2009. The group had a wonderful time, and has been eager to go back.

The BandFest is a big undertaking. Twenty or so community bands from British Columbia get togeth-er in a big park in Ladner each year for a two-day cel-

ebration of music. Groups take turns playing and lis-tening. The musicians all enjoy each other’s company. This year, the festival will be an international event thanks to Orcas Islanders. Gracious hosts the Delta Music Makers have invited the Orcas band to return. This year, eager band mem-bers on both sides of the border will get their wish.

Conductor Joe Babcock will lead about 40 Orcasites of all ages in a program of American and European marches, dances and band favorites. Local audiences will have heard a preview at the band’s spring concert on June.

Both the spring concert and the Ladner BandFest are free and open to the public.

The encore screening of the National Theatre’s “Frankenstein” comes to Orcas Center on Friday, June 8 at 7:30 p.m.

This new play by Nick Dear is based on the novel by Mary Shelley. Oscar-winner Danny Boyle (“127 Hours,” “Slumdog Millionaire”) returned to the theatre to direct this visionary pro-duction with Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller. Both stars were nominated together for an Olivier Award, Best Actor in a Play, a shared nomination. Both actors alternate in the roles of Dr. Frankenstein and his creation, the mon-ster Creature.

The 16-week run of the production at the National Theatre was entirely sold out and performances played to more than 100,000 people in cinemas worldwide. The feedback was unprec-edented. The reviews are all raves.

Tickets for “Frankenstein” are $15, $11 students ($2 off for Orcas Center members.) Not appropriate for students under 15 years old. Tickets may be purchased at www.orcascenter.org or by call-ing 376-2281 ext. 1 or visit-ing the Orcas Center box office.
