Islands' Sounder, November 23, 2011

by MEREDITH M. GRIFFITHStaff reporter

A handful of adults approached the school board about the dis-tricts handling of a recent adult-hosted high school drinking party, for which 10 student athletes were suspended from their teams.

During the Nov. 15 meeting, Suzanne Morrisey read a state-ment in which she called the event a coed drinking sleepover for minors and said the school used poor judgment, disciplin-ing based on hearsay and a draconian system. She called the schools disciplinary process a witch hunt, saying it was abu-sive and psychologically scarring to the children in your charge.

Morrisey said she was upset by a letter she had received from a teacher, and board chair Janet Brownell called executive session to discuss it as a personnel matter.

After the board emerged, Kathy Jensen said she would like to see the current policy re-written to allow for more judicious han-dling. She questioned giving one

person the superintendent the power to handle such infractions, recommending instead a panel including students, teachers and community members.

Candace Bodenhamer called Jensens idea brilliant, saying a committee should be part of the disciplinary process.

These actions should be judged by their peers, she said.

Last month Kline determined that 10 students had violated the terms of the 2011-12 Athletic Handbook, and as a result removed them from their football, soccer and volleyball teams for the rest of the fall season. They are the only students to face such disciplinary action this year.

By school policy, a meeting with the student, parents, prin-cipal, athletic director and coach must be held within three school days of an incident or report of an incident. The school committee must then meet within one day to determine consequences.

In an earlier story, superin-tendent Barbara Kline told the Sounder, this went a little differ-ently because some of the students

The Port of Orcas has officially introduced its three new commissioners who will take office in January: Dwight Guss will replace Dave Noneman; Sheldon Gregory will replace Alan Edwards; and Brian Ehrmantraut will replace chairman Bret Thurman. They will join current commissioners Audrey Wells and William Hopkins on the board.

Hangar associationDuring the Nov. 17 meeting, attorney Mimi

Wagner, from the law offices of William Weissinger, addressed the board on behalf of hangar owners Chuck and Carolyn Crawford, who lease land from the port on which their three hangars are built.

We are very concerned about the Crawfords predicament as lessees, Wagner told the com-missioners. We have grave concerns about the

proposed new leasing agreement. Port lessees have recently formed Orcas

Hangar Association because the commission wanted to simplify the ports leasing arrange-ments. Wagner proposed that the port consider an alternate framework for new leases, as the recently created structure did not fit any legal format known to her law firm. In response, Thurman moved to forestall taking any action on lease agreements until a later date, saying, Lets step back, slow down and get a better game plan.

Port 2012 general fundThe board also approved its 2012 budget.

Expected general fund revenue and expen-ditures equal $258,850. Budgeted expendi-tures are up $14,208, roughly six percent from $244,642 in 2011. Projected revenue is down $33,960, 13 percent from $292,810 in 2011.

The port budgeted $7,500 to pay its five com-

missioners, who have chosen compensation of $90 per meeting instead of the state-mandated rate of $104, port manager Bea vonTobel told the Sounder.

As operations coordinator, vonTobel earns $52,000 plus $5,400 in medical coverage. Part-time facilities manager James Reid is paid $8,000. Retirement for employees and commis-sioners is $3,000.

The board set aside $60,000 for legal fees. To date in 2011 the port has spent $15,873 of its budgeted $30,000.

Fire and liability insurance is budgeted at $16,000. In 2011, the port paid only $10,161 out of a budgeted $17,000. vonTobel said the rate was lower because of the ports good his-tory.

Other budgeted items include $26,500 for grounds/maintenance work; $5,000 for road maintenance; $6,000 for a janitor; $13,800 for taxes and auditor fees, $3,000 for continuing education; $5,000 for runway repair and field electrical; and $14,650 for electricity, water/sewer, refuse and sani-cans.

vonTobel had also budgeted $17,000 to pay solid waste parcel fees, but removed it after fee failed to pass.

Take a stroll through the wares of more than 25 local artisans or bring your little one for a chat with Santa.

The Orcas Senior Center is hosting its annual bazaar over Thanksgiving week-end.

This event supports seniors and local artisans, said Jane Heisinger, coor-dinator for the Orcas Island Senior Center Advisory Committee. What better place to start your Christmas shopping than right here at the holiday festival?

The Holiday Festival of Arts will feature booths with such items as fine jewelry, hand-carved Santas, wood-working, felted items, glass ornaments, purses, jams and chutney, hand-bound leather journals and toffee

and brittle. The fair is on Saturday,

Nov. 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $1 or a donation to the food bank. Heisinger says the event brings in a lot of food items for struggling islanders.

There will be music from Matthew Olsens violin students and Martin Lund at the piano and Santas first visit of the year. Parents are encour-aged to bring cameras to capture time spent with Saint Nick. The conference room is transforming into a dining hall this year, so fair-goers can snack on bake sale items or paninis that will be grilled throughout the day.

A silent auction is offer-ing one week in a condo in Bozeman, Mont., a Frank Loudin print, a crystal bowl and more. Raffle items are a Karen Blinn quilt, a quilt-ed blanket by Magdalena Verhasselt and basket of tools valued at over $400. Tickets are $2 each or $5 for

three. Hundreds

of shoppers come through the senior centers doors, enjoying holi-day decora-tions, a visit from Santa and unique

island-made gifts.Its really a kick-off to the

holiday season, Heisinger said.

Since 2010, the senior center has offered an Orcas On The Go cou-pon book filled with deals from island businesses. This year they printed 400

and only have around 100 left. The books are $20 and available at Jillery, Woods Cove, the senior center, and the Festival of the Arts. Coupons are good through May 31, and Heisinger says they make great gifts.

Solid waste: a job not finished

Turning down the ill-conceived Solid Waste Parcel Fee the County Council put before the voters was only the first step in ratio-nally addressing and fixing our solid waste disposal system. The countys touted alternative to the Parcel Fee was complete privatiza-tion of the Solid Waste collection system, leading to curbside pick-up. While curbside pickup of our waste may seem attractive to some, it is not a satisfactory alternative to many Islanders. Too many island roads are narrow with little to no turn around at their ends. Damage would be done to private roadways by heavy solid waste service trucks, and who would pay for such dam-age? And refuse cans blowing in the wind, or worse, refuse spilled from such cans and blowing in the wind, would likely be a frequent problem. It is expected that many islanders who currently self-haul their waste to the county transfer station or drop-off sites would choose to con-tinue self-haul. Any contract let for privatization of our system needs to ensure that self haul capability will be maintained with at least the ease and surety it now has.

Access to reuse facilities like the Lopez Take-It-Or-Leave-It or the Orcas Exchange must be maintained and their continuation cultivated and encouraged. Some improvements are warranted at drop-off sites on all islands, but this is not the economic climate for unnecessarily large major expen-ditures or for that matter, parcel fees. However, working with a well publicized plan, fiscal trans-parency and cost cutting manage-ment, these services and modifica-tions can be made at minimum cost if the county chooses to continue management of the system, or can be insured by careful negotiation with whatever private entities are selected to provide solid waste ser-vices.

The voters have spoken intel-ligently in voting down the par-cel fee. Now they must tell their council representatives to manage intelligently and with complete fis-

cal transparency in maintaining solid waste services. Much can be learned by studying the solid waste systems available in neighboring counties.

The Tree Doctor is fine and well

Thank you, Orcas community, for your kindness and concern and lets set the record straight: John Olson, the Tree Doctor, is fit as a fiddle and ready for love. The island tom-toms must have heard that Johns brother Steven is ill with cancer and somewhere along the line, it got mixed up. John is very sad about his brothers illness but grateful for his own good health (knock wood) and we are both grateful for the good fortune to live in close community with such kind and caring neighbors. The Tree Doctor is healthy and hale.

Break-in at the Exchange

Recent events on Orcas have compelled me to write today. Living here is the fulfillment of a dream for my family and me. We have been welcomed into the community with open arms and are inspired by the sense of caring Islanders show for many values we also hold dear.

Last Saturday, our sense of com-

munity was shaken and we were saddened to hear of a break-in and vandalism which took place at the Exchange, a truly unique and important Island establish-ment. What a wonderful way to reduce, reuse, and recycle. My family has found so many wonder-ful and extremely necessary items there and gave them a new life while they improved ours. Theft and vandalism at such a wonderful place is painful and senseless.

To whomever did this, please consider the many, many lives you have negatively touched how could you steal toys set aside for children through the Giving Tree? Why would you destroy goods that Islanders are trying to share with one another? You have placed seeds of mistrust and sadness amongst the community and may even threaten the existence of something many people truly rely on. You shouldnt have done it in the first place, but please, dont do it again! Abuse and well lose it!

assistance during these last several months while I have confronted a diagnosis of an aggressive prostate can-cer that has metastasized to the bones in my spine and upper right shoulder.

I am so pleased to report that I am doing well. My medical team at Skagit Cancer Care has stabilized the cancers growth with hormone therapy and IV infusions that protect the bone from the cancer and I have finished my radiation therapy.

I am getting stronger day by day; going to the gym, gaining back the weight I lost and am working again, half-time only. I am grate-ful that I have my faith-ful employee, Juan, and my son, Yaro, to help me with the work load.

I want to thank Audrey Wells and her intrepid Mercy Flight Pilots for shut-tling me back and forth to the Cancer Care Center. I want to thank our very ded-icated islands EMTs who twice came to my aid and helped with my pain and put me in the chopper to Bellingham.

Although there is no known cure, I have every intention of living a full, strong life regardless of the number of years I may or may not have in front of me. This has been a very power-ful life journey and I am learning to uncover some of the hidden gifts. Many are the thousand little things that used to pass me by, unnoticed, and now I hold my small cup with amazing grace and gratitude over-flowing.

If there is anyone who might come across this let-ter and knows of someone who is struggling with can-cer, please feel free to call me. I would be glad to share my ongoing journey.

In gratitude.Joe Goodrich

Thank you to OIEFThanks to a very generous

donation by the Orcas Island Education Foundation, the rickety old lab tables in the Orcas Island High School have now been replaced with sturdy new ones. The old ones were not very high quality to begin with and were more than 15 years old. Despite the efforts of sev-eral science teachers and the maintenance crew, the legs were so weak that they were literally collapsing. Were we to have an earthquake, I told my students that we will not duck-and-cover, we will flee the building!

But not now. The new ones are excellent. They are very well built and the stu-dents love them. On behalf of this years science students and on behalf of the many students who will benefit in the future, I sincerely thank OIEF for funding this basic, classroom necessity.

On the other hand, I fail to understand why OIEF should have to even be asked to help with such a basic, classroom necessity when it is our states primary duty to adequately fund schools. The lack of funds to replace these tables is not the local Districts fault. The state is not adequately funding school. In my opinion, as a teacher for more than 25 years, organizations such as OIEF should enhance learn-ing by funding materials beyond the states responsi-bility, not instead.

Toys for Tots not happening

During this past year the Orcas Island Lions Club has had to make some hard decisions and among one of the hardest was that we are finding that we can no longer sponsor the Toys for Tots Program.

Lions International was founded to assist with fund-ing for sight and hearing programs and as you are all probably aware, the Orcas Island Lions supports much more than the islands sight and hearings programs. We also sponsor or contribute to Holiday baskets, the Easter Egg Hunt, Camp Horizon, the Lions Christmas Ship, the Food Bank and vari-ous island youth programs. During the past two years our tent rental income has decreased and the commu-nity requests for our core

programs, eye glasses, hear-ing aids and cataract sur-gery have increased.

You should also be aware that the Giving Tree at Island Market has also lost some major contributors this past year. With this in mind we have decided that it is better for us to give through the Giving Tree so that our dollars can reach those families most in need of the services. We would like to thank the commu-nity for support of our past efforts and would urge you all to continue that support by contributing directly to the tree. If you are a family that has made use of our Toys for Tots program in the past, we urge you to contact Erin ODell of Orcas Family Connections at 376-3184 for assistance or pick up an application for the Giving Tree at Island Market.

We would also like to remind everyone that the Lions Christmas Ship will once again be visiting the Orcas. The ship will arrive on Dec. 11 at approximately 11:30 a.m. at the County dock at Orcas Landing. The Orcas Lions invite all of the Orcas Island Community to visit with Santa and share in this holiday celebration. This event is being cospon-sored by the Orcas Village Store that will once again be providing holiday treats. The Orcas Childrens Choir will be singing traditional carols and there will also be carolers and the holiday clowns arriving with the ship.

Hopefully in the future the Toys for Tots program will resurface maybe as a joint effort amongst the island service Clubs or maybe with everyone focusing on the Giving Tree, we will be able to fill the void and ensure every fam-ily has a happy and fulfilling holiday.

Sounder should have given more details

I applaud Superintendent Barbara Klines decision to enforce a strict interpreta-tion of the rules on alcohol and drug abuse by high-school athletes, as noted in your Nov. 16 article about this unfortunate incident. These are rules that the students agreed to before accepting the privilege of representing Orcas Island High School in athletic competition. They should abide by what they agreed upon a lesson that I hope they learn for later in life.

I am puzzled, however,

that the Sounder gave over three column inches to an unidentified parent of one of these students to com-plain about her decision. Is this responsible journalism? Why let this parent carp away anonymously, hiding behind the need to protect the identity of a teenager involved?

And I note from two brief articles buried on page 6 that the volleyball team came home win-less from the state tournament in early November, and that the football team which was as good as last years championship-caliber one lost 470 to Napavine in its first playoff game. Those of us who can still add two plus two can easily under-stand why this happened. Why didnt the Sounder draw this connection in print?

According to the article, an unidentified parent host-ed the party where these students were given alco-holic beverages, thereby putting them at risk and leading ultimately to their expulsion from the teams. I can understand the need to protect the identity of a teenage son or daughter by not naming this person in print. But does it serve the overall community good?

Orcas Island will prob-ably learn about this person over the grapevine anyway.

As the father of a teen-age son, I hope the ensu-ing community outrage for having dashed the playoff hopes of two fine teams will help convince adults on the island to abide by the laws against supplying alcohol and drugs to minors.

Help Mayor April get new digs

I was moooved to tears while reading the letter to the editor written by citizen Mr. Jack Coe in the Nov. 9 edition. In it he comments on the need for people to cooome together and build a more suitable office for me. I am humbled to have to say, I agree with him. My home/office is in sorry shape. The west wall is held up by a piece of 2x4 angled against it. It will be a mir-acle if it lasts the winter. This summer my caretaker/assistant recruited some of my friends to help create a dry place to store my foood. She, my assistant, cannot afford to fix my home right now because I am also in

need of some medical care, and that is costly as well. My assistant has volunteered for years, taking care of my every need, despite the cost and the fact that Im not owned by her.

We were moved by the call for a good old fashioned barn raising! What a great idea. We spoke with some folks and it was suggested that maybe ooopening a bank account for me could help raise the moooney necessary for building materials, my medical expenses, and food costs.People who couldnt help physically build my new office wooould be happy in knowing they contributed to my wellbeing in some fashion.

I have never wanted or intended to ask my beloved bipeds for assistance, how-ever, since the concern has been raised by a constituent I am compelled to answer truthfully, as I am sworn to do, about the somewhat deplorable condition of my office and the costs of my

talked to their parents and coaches already.

Also at the board meet-ing, Randy Pence voiced his displeasure at superinten-dent Klines handling of the

matter, asking, What hap-pens when Barbara Kline doesnt follow this [school] policy?

The board again called executive session to speak privately with Pence.

Morrisseys husband Bob Phalan asked why Kline didnt phone the police, say-

ing, There were laws being broken at an off-campus event. Its not up to the school to investigate This is not the Vatican. Youre not outside the law.

The board did not respond to public comment during its meeting.

I felt sad, because clearly there are parents on every angle of this that are upset, Brownell later told the Sounder. We cant go back in time. I think the best thing we can do is move forward evaluate the ath-letic handbook and really start to be more healing.

She said the board may consider a reply in execu-tive session before its next public meeting.

There were a lot of accu-sations thrown out in a very short time, Brownell said. We certainly take what any parent has to say to heart, and then we start looking at it from an objective point of view.

Kline told the Sounder, The hardest thing that par-ents have to do is to allow

their kids to be accountable, and thats a painful process Its hard to watch parents be that upset.

Kline said shes received numerous phone calls about the incident, many support-ive, and feels positive dis-cussion is being stimulated in the Orcas Island com-munity.

What we as a community expect from our children is an important conversation to have, she said. Theres been some discussion about whether the community is supporting this kind of behavior.

Kline said a culture of accountability is a gift the community gives to these kids.

Board member Tony Ghazel told the Sounder, I am concerned about chil-dren making wrong deci-sions that really affect them and their teammates ... How do we remedy that? How do we instill in students that some of the decisions they make also affect others?

He said the board is com-pletely satisfied that Kline followed school policy, but in the light of community input the policy may be revisited this spring.

Brownell said Kline seemed to have followed

school policy, adding, Were going to look into it a little bit more.

Brownell said the ath-letic handbook could more clearly state the superinten-dents authority over school affairs. Board member Scott Lancaster said school pol-icy allows the administra-tion to question regarding whatever rules they believe have been broken.

Ghazel said phoning the sheriff about an off-campus event is beyond the schools realm of responsibility.

Thats a legal issue, he said. It opens up an area we really dont want to go as a school.

Regarding the schools responsibility to contact

law enforcement, Lancaster and Brownell declined to comment, and Kline could not be reached before the Sounder went to press.

Sheriff Rob Nou can-not yet identify the par-ent involved in hosting the party.

National Theatre Live On Screen at Orcas Center con-tinues with a new play by John Hodge Collaborators, on Thursday, Dec. 1 at 7:30 p.m.

Hodges blistering new play, captured live from the National Theatre in London, depicts a lethal game of cat and mouse through which the appalling compromises and humiliations inflicted on any artist by those with power are held up to scru-tiny. Alex Jennings plays Bulgakov and Simon Russell Beale, Stalin.

Moscow, 1938 is a dan-gerous place to have a sense of humour; even more so a

sense of freedom. Mikhail Bulgakov, living among dis-sidents and stalked by secret police, has both. And then hes offered a poisoned chal-ice: a commission to write a play about Stalin to cel-ebrate his 60th birthday. Inspired by historical fact, Collaborators embarks on a surreal journey into the fevered imagination of the writer as he loses himself in a disturbingly funny rela-tionship with the omnipo-tent subject of his drama.

Tickets are $15 and $11 for students ($2 off for Orcas Center members) at www.orcascenter.org or 376-2281.

The Actors Theater of Orcas Island brings The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomens Guild Dramatic Societys Production of A Christmas Carol by David McGillivray and Walter Zerlin, Jr.

The play is directed by Doug Bechtel and will be at The Grange Dec. 2-Dec. 18, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, Dec. 4. Tickets are available at Darvills, www.orcasactors.com, and at the door. For more information, call 317-5601.

The cast of four women (Annette Mazzarella, Lesley Liddle, Luann Pamatian, and Suzanne Gropper) and one man (Tony Lee) provides a zany, madcap way to start off the holiday season. In a festive mood, the ladies of The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomens Guild Dramatic Society mount an assault on the classic Christmas show with their stage version of A Christmas Carol.

They enthusiastically portray a dizzying array of charac-ters from the Dickensian favorite (and a few which arent) and engineer some novel audience participation, all while bravely contending with an intrusive PA system.

This is a raucously funny play that is great family fun. The kids will love it and adults will appreciate the great comedy, say organizers.

by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONGEditor/Associate Publisher

Theyre beautiful. Theyre bawdy. Theyre bold. They are burlesque.

The brothers Lovejoy, The Outlook Inn and The Kitchen have teamed up to bring a very special show to Orcas Center: the Galaxy Of Burlesque Revue.

If you love art, these people have been pushing the boundaries of this art form and they are known all over the world. And they are from right here in the Northwest, said Jared Lovejoy, who is bringing the show to Orcas with his brother Jason. It is an incredibly sexy, beautiful show. Its a celebration of the feminine without being tacky.

The performance on Friday, Dec. 2 features national burlesque stars The Atomic Bombshells, Miss Indigo Blue, Lily Verlaine and trio Dance Belt on the main stage. These artists have been redefining what burlesque means and winning awards and accolades in the process.

Starting at 7:30 p.m. there will be reasonably priced drinks and bites from The Kitchen. Owner and chef Charles Dalton is serving local oysters on the half shell, toasted Roses rye bread canaps, and salmon salad filled gruyere cheese puffs and red bell pep-per chips. The performance begins at 8 p.m. on the dot. Tickets are $22; the show is suitable for only those

18+. Audience members are invited to dress as vivaciously as they want. Visit www.orcascenter.org or call 376-2281 for tickets.

Jared is a music producer who has worked with such artists as Pearl Jam, Portishead, and Massive Attack. He moved to Orcas six years ago.

About the artistsThe Atomic Bombshells, Seattles

professional burlesque troupe, present a show that celebrates the feminine form with good humor and classic style. Most recently the Bombshells have spread their gospel of glitter overseas, performing sold-out events in Amsterdam, Berlin, and Shanghai.

For the last 15 years, the neo-bur-lesque entertainer Miss Indigo Blue has titillated crowds across the world with her tassel-twirling techniques and sexy, funny skits. She is known for her hilarious surprises, erotic dance skills, authentic 1930s-1960s costuming, and naughty versions of popular characters like Holly Golightly, Carmen Miranda and Wonder Woman. She was crowned the 2011 Burlesque Hall of Fames Reigning Queen of Burlesque.

Lily Verlaine is a classical ballet danc-er and a graduate of The University of Minnesota. As a burlesque perform-er, she has shared stages with Dita Von Teese and other distinguished ladies of burlesque. As a choreogra-pher, Verlaine has set work upon many

Seattle notables. She is also the co-pro-ducer and artistic director of Land of the Sweets: The Burlesque Nutcracker and Through the Looking Glass: The Burlesque Alice in Wonderland.

Dance Belt celebrates iconic dance pop culture through tribute perfor-mances, dance education and par-ticipatory workshops. The trio blurs music video, social dance, cabaret performance, YouTube culture and gender. They have taught at Cornish College of The Arts, American University, Rutgers, and NYU. Dance Belt features the performance stylings of Waxie Moon, Inga Ingenue and Lou Henry Hoover.

These are all really top notch per-formers, Jared said. Its going to be so much fun.

Ann C. HansonAnn C. Hanson, age 71,

passed away on Sunday, Nov. 13, 2011 at her home in Bellingham. She was born Dec. 4, 1939 in Bellingham to Earl and Dorothy Cilley, and grew up on the South Hill, attend-ing Campus School, Lowell Elementary, and Fairhaven Middle School. She spent her sophomore year of high

school at the Shipley School in Pennsylvania and gradu-ated from Annie Wright in Tacoma before attend-ing Stanford University. At Stanford, Ann pursued her interests in the humanities and graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a double major in English and History in 1962. She traveled to Germany for her junior year and later returned there on a Rotary Foundation Fellowship, studying in the graduate school at Eberhardt Karls University in Tbingen. She married Paul Hanson in 1965 and they settled in their native Bellingham, where Ann earned a teaching certifi-cate at Western Washington University and became an active community member, particularly enjoying her long association with the Monday Club. Ann shared her enthusiasm for words and language with genera-tions of students, first at Bellingham High School

and then as a founding faculty member at Sehome High School, where she stayed from its opening in 1967 until her retirement in 1992. Over that time she taught German, English, and Social Studies.

Retirement allowed Ann to spend more time at her favorite place in the world, the family cabin in the Shorewood neighborhood near Doe Bay. (Her asso-ciation with Orcas Island began far earlier, however, with childhood visits to her grandfather Rezeau Browns Arcady Farm at Deer Harbor.) On Orcas, Ann developed a wonder-ful garden and devoted her-self to painting, helping to organize the Orcas Island Artworks Cooperative, where she sold her work for nearly thirty years. Ann loved the natural world and she wrote and illustrated a childrens book, Flickers Round Trip, as a fundraiser for the Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. She also enjoyed traveling, read-ing, and boating, and was often known to out-fish her husband, sons, and pretty much everyone else in the neighborhood. Ann con-sidered her family and her loving marriage to be the crowning achievements of her life. She lived with kindness, grace, and humor, giving always of herself to

those around her fam-ily, students, and the many wonderful friends whose love and support have been so appreciated. She will be greatly missed, and always remembered.

Ann is survived by her husband Paul, son and daughter-in-law Max and Jessica Hanson of Shoreline and their children Ingrid and Oskar, son and daugh-ter-in-law Thor Hanson and Eliza Habegger of San Juan Island and their son Noah, brother Earl Cilley, nephew Pete Cilley, aunt Barbara Brown, and many loving relatives and friends. Memorials may be made to the San Juan Preservation Trust - Vendovi Island Fund (PO Box 327, Lopez, WA 98261), The Ann and Paul Hanson Fund for the Environment (c/o Whatcom Community Foundation, 119 Grand Ave., Suite A, Bellingham, WA 98225), The Arthritis Foundation (809 E. Chestnut St., Bellingham, WA 98225) or Whatcom Hospice Foundation (2901 Squalicum Parkway, Bellingham, WA 98225).

A celebration of Anns life will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 11 at the Bellingham Cruise Terminal, 355 Harris Avenue in Bellingham. You may share memories with the family at www.westford-funeralhome.com.
