Washington State Ferries removed the captain and the second mate from duty onboard the Hyak and placed the two on administrative assignment in the wake of the vessel’s collision on Sept. 13 with a sailboat in Upright Channel. The Hyak, a Super Class ferry with a 144-vehicle capacity, is roughly 382 feet in length and is capable of traveling up to 17 knots. It collided with a 28-foot sailboat, the Norma Rae, at about 2 p.m., while en route to Orcas Island and shortly after leaving the Lopez Island ferry terminal. A Department of Fish and Wildlife boat towed the sailboat away. The state ferry system convened a board of inquiry late Friday afternoon to investigate the collision. WSF Spokeswoman Marta Coursey said that placement of the two WSF employees on adminis-
Myths and facts about the arrival of spiders by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter
New residents seem to be appearing on the island everyday. They are found on windowsills, porches, hanging off plants and in nooks and crannies. “Spiderwebs are everywhere in my yard,” said Orcas resident Nicole Cline. The species islanders are watching crop up are known as European cross spiders, shown at right. Individual spiders’ coloring range from light yellow to dark gray, but all have mottled markings across the back with five or more white dots forming a cross. Rod Crawford, curator of arachnids at the Burke Museum in Seattle, told the Seattle Times in August that the presumed spider boom this year is a phrase he has heard every year for the last 30 years. “There are always lots this time of the year,” echoed Orcas Islander Rochelle Severson. Crawford accounts for the increasing vis-
ibility of these eight-legged creatures due to spiders coming into maturity and needing more space to make cobwebs. The spiders are hatched in early May and become adults in the late summer. On his website, Crawford goes on to explain that August and September are actually the worst time of year for northern hemisphere spider collectors. Only a few spider species including the larger orb weavers and the giant house spiders are mature at that time, but not many other spiders are around. Crawford is clearly prepared for a range of arachnid-oriented questions from the funny to the bizarre. His FAQ page is full of topics such as swallowing spiders while sleeping to camel spiders that run 25 miles per hour screaming like a banshee to a gigantic spider that lives in tunnels under Windsor Castle. These are all
myths that Crawford dispels. One popular myth is that spiders come indoors in the fall to escape the cold. According to Crawford, house spiders are not the same species as the yard or garden spiders, which live outdoors. “If a large number appear [indoors] at a specific season, it is usually late summer and coincides with the mating season of the given species,” said Crawford. Spiders are “cold-blooded” and not attracted to warmth. “They don’t shiver or get uncomfortable when it’s cold, they just become less active and eventually, dormant,” said Crawford. According to the staff of the WSU Plant and Insect Diagnostic Laboratory staff, spiders, due to their predacious nature, are beneficial; they

trative assignment is routine procedure as part of such an investigation. Coursey said the board will release its “finding of fact” after conducting interviews with the crew of the Hyak and reviewing details of the crash. The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting a separate but parallel investigation as well, she said. The sailboat’s lone occupant at the time of the collision, a man in his mid-60s, was transported to San Juan Island’s Peace Island Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries shortly after the incident. The heavily damaged sailboat was towed from the crash scene by a boat provided by Fish and Wildlife, but it later sank, reportedly in 250 feet of water. Cousey said the time of release of the inquiry board’s findings-offact will depend on the length of evaluation of the collision.

San Juan County resident earns seat on state’s arts commission by SCOTT RASMUSSEN Journal editor
To find a large stack of mail to sift through after returning from a longoverdue vacation was to be expected. But within that stack was one letter that caught Diane Martindale almost completely by surprise.
“I had resigned myself to ‘well that didn’t happen’,” Martindale said of an appointment to the Washington State Arts Commission. “I thought the time period of when the appointments would be made and announced had already passed. And I hadn’t heard anything.” Instead, the governor’s
office just hadn’t considered applications or new appointments to various state boards because of unfinished state budgetary business. Martindale opened the envelope to discover that, by appointment of Gov. Jay Inslee, she is now a representative on the state Arts Commission. It consists of 19 appoin-

tees who serve three-year terms. Created in 1961, the Washington State Arts Commission reviews applications and approves grants to organizations and communities large and small in the visual and performing arts, and in writing. Its mission is to speak to the value of public art, build leadership from and for the arts, strengthen art education in the schools, document the economic impact of the arts, and acquire and care for artwork in the official state art collection.
Although skilled in the craft of quilt making, Martindale, owner of Acquisitions, an art consulting business, downplays her artistic talents. But as an advocate and ambassador of the arts, Martindale believes that her enthusiasm and energy would rival just about anyone’s. Martindale is chairwoman of the library’s art committee, a member of the Island Arts League board of directors and the San Juan County Arts Council. She also volunteers with the Community

Friday Harbor takes Island Cup Vikings’ football, volleyball and boys’ soccer coverage by MARTY ZIER
Sports contributor
Island Cup The Friday Harbor Wolverines football team triumphantly retained the Island Cup Saturday at Dahl Field for the second consecutive year in one of the most uneven contests of the Cup history in a 69-0 nonleague event. The young 20-member Viking squad with 12 freshman and sophomores faced a 40-member seasoned “wolverine” pack loaded with 22 juniors and seniors. Viking team elders remember the 2010 and 2011 seasons with closely matched teams ending with two back to back Viking victories. But this Saturday was a day for the Wolverines who exploited a strong running game from the first play from scrimmage resulting in a touchdown run by #40 senior Nathan Steenkolk.
It was not his last. Friday Harbor also benefited from quick running by #30 junior Willie Blackmon, highlighting an overall strong team performance. Remarkably, there were Viking highlights not apparent from the score with excellent receptions by freshman #1 Jordan Randolph and #35 Pasha Bullock and a strong defensive play by #60 senior Joe Kostechko. “Friday Harbor is a good, solid team,” said Viking coach Scott Harris. “Our boys battled and never gave up. I am proud of our backups that were called in and our job is to get better each game to achieve our goals.” The Vikings prepare for Tacoma Baptist for the first league game at Orcas Island High School on Sept. 28 at 1 p.m.
Volleyball The Lady Vikings finished the week with a
OPALCO lineman injured in highvoltage accident OPALCO Journeyman Lineman Kevin Zoerb was working on the south end of Lopez Island when he came in contact with a high voltage line on Sept. 20 at 9:30 a.m. He was airlifted to Harborview and admitted to the burn unit in critical condition. Zoerb suffered cardiac arrest and severe burns. “The OPALCO family sends its love, hope and prayers to Kevin, his family and community,” wrote OPALCO staff in a press release. As of Sunday night, Zoerb was awake and breathing on his own – ahead of schedule. The family has set up a Caring Bridge site at www.caringbridge.org/visit/kevinzoerb to provide updates as they occur. It is also a way to send messages to him and his family. A “Zoerb Family Fund” has been set up at Islanders Bank to help with expenses. Deposits can be made directly at any Islanders Bank branch.

Boys Soccer by JACK RUSSILLO
Orcas High School senior
The Vikings boys soccer team played the top-ranked Grace Academy Eagles ending in a 5-0 loss on Sept. 20. The Eagles did most of their scoring in first half, scoring four goals by half time and adding one more toward the end of the game. Missing some starters on defense, Orcas was forced to adjust their defensive lineup. The Viking’s offense had some good sparks, nearly converted on a couple of
scoring chances. “We knew what to expect, facing a very talented team,” said Coach Matt Stolmeier. “It was a great opportunity for us to learn to advance our game against a state-caliber team. Despite the loss, it could have been much more, but our defense put out a big effort. It was a good chance for us to look at how our young players could play in the second half. It gives us something to build on.” Senior Alex Rogers was once again a big bright spot for the Vikings, making over 25 saves and showing great leadership on the pitch. A day later, the Vikings traveled to Bear Creek for
their only non-league game of the season, ending in a 7-0 loss. Adjusting to a new lineup and an emphasis on playing younger players, the Vikings focused on spreading out the playing time in
order to get all players more experience against a statecaliber team. The boys will play Mt. Vernon Christian at a home game on Friday, Sept. 27 at 3 p.m.

Editor’s notebook The trouble with spiders
I
’ve woken up with them in the palm of my hand. They’ve clung to the inside of my sweater, crawling up through the neck. I’ve wrapped myself in a towel, only to look in the foggy mirror and see a huge black shape making its way across the cloth. Spiders seem to find their way to me constantly. I scream, I tremble, I fling my hands at invisible webs that I just know I walked into. When asked by a friend which I would rather crawl into bed with – a spider or a rat – I quickly answered “rat!” much to everyone else’s confusion. In the first place I lived in as an adult – a refurbished basement – enormous house spiders took up residence in the unused fireplace, which just happened to be next to my bed. Every night, To read more about spiders, I would scan the quilt and see the story on page one. sheets, ferreting out any unwanted guests. I would then get in, lean up against the backboard and watch the fireplace for the arachnids to emerge. It really only happened a few times, but the threat was ever present. With the arrival of fall, the colorful garden spiders are weaving their webs right outside our windows. They are lovely until I walk out my front door and into one of their homes. It’s also time for the longlegged house spiders to scurry across my bathroom floor, scuttling into the closet, never to be seen again. Every year, I know this time is coming. I try to make peace. They are, after all, only trying to survive. We all just want to be happy. I also try to remember how important they are in the bigger scheme of things (namely eating bugs) and that we don’t have many poisonous varieties in the Northwest. The majority of species across the globe aren’t a real threat to our existence anyway. For those of you who enjoy watching spiders, more power to you. Feed them small insects, video their web spinning – do whatever it is you do. For me, I will continue to scream and get goose bumps whenever a spider gets too close. But I will do everything I can not to kill them; everyone knows that is bad luck. – Colleen Smith Armstrong, editor and publisher

Letter about flags was offensive Others like me will undoubtedly be reacting to the letter written from an Iowa tourist who last week wrote about his unhappiness over our flag flying community. He has no doubt fled by now, “dismayed by the abundance of rainbow flags on display throughout Eastsound.” For someone who has been drawn to this beautiful island and taken the trouble to travel the distance with his family from his Iowa town to vacation here, he has no doubt offended many in this community who welcome diversity and equality for all. That he insists we should instead only fly the Circulation/ Nicole Matisse Duke Administrative Coordinator nmatisseduke@soundpublishing.com Marketing Artists Scott Herning sherning@soundpublishing.com Kathryn Sherman ksherman@soundpublishing.com Proof Reading Maura O’Neill
American flag, which in his words “stands for liberty and justice for all people” is exactly the same message the rainbow flag reminds us we should be recognizing for those who have been restricted or left out.

We can only hope this antiquated way of thinking will gradually subside in a time when good strides are being made towards equality in marital partnerships. Anne Pedersen Orcas island
Missing the Scenic Byways Bus Standing on the side of the road with my thumb out (trying to get from Eastsound to Deer Harbor with my groceries), I couldn’t help but wax nostalgic for the summer season of travelling easily here or there on the Scenic Byways Bus. It was great to be able to make plans according to a regular schedule, but mostly I remember how many interesting people I met while tooling around on Orcas and San Juan. It was fun to find common threads to talk about with visitors, often meeting folks from the Midwest (as I was). I love that small world kind of happenstance! Ginna Magee Deer Harbor

Baker Road. Pathways open worlds of possibility for those of us dedicated to walking and pedaling, and the Mt. Baker Road pathway makes for a particularly pleasant excursion with wooded areas on the south and beautiful fields to the north. In a culture that reveres vehicles, and where few drive undistracted, speed ‘limits’ are no longer limiting.

Ghazel running for school board re-election I am honored and humbled by your trust in allowing me to serve on your school board and I am hoping to serve another four years. I am running for re-election to the school board because I strongly believe that education is what defines a community and serving in the capacity of a school board director allows me to be at the fore front of advocating for that belief. Additionally, as an elected school board official it is my responsibility to insure that we create conditions in which our children and staff can succeed and that everyone involved in the education of our children is appreciated and held to a high standard.

Raising awareness about rabies by the San Juan County health Department
World Rabies Day is on Sept. 28, a global health observance that seeks to raise awareness about rabies and enhance prevention and control efforts. What is rabies? It is an infectious viral disease that affects the nervous system of humans and other mammals. People get rabies from the bite of an animal with rabies. Any wild mammal, like a raccoon, skunk, fox, coyote, or bat, can have rabies and transmit it to people. Because rabies is a fatal disease, the goal of public health is, first, to prevent human exposure to rabies by education and, second, to prevent the disease by anti-rabies treatment if exposure occurs. Most of the recent human rabies cases have been caused by rabies virus from bats. Other wild animals such as raccoons, skunks, foxes and coyotes can also be infected with the rabies virus and can spread the disease to humans. One of the best ways to protect yourself and your family is to avoid contact with wild animals. Do not feed or handle them, even if they seem friendly and tame. Don’t pick up or touch dead animals, as the rabies virus could be in their saliva or nervous tissue. Because house pets such as cats and dogs are often outdoors, be sure to get them vaccinated against rabies. While most wild animals are found primarily outdoors, bats can sometimes fly into buildings. If you see a bat in your home, confine the bat to a room by closing all doors and windows leading out of the room except those to the outside. The bat will most likely leave. If
it doesn’t, put leather gloves on, approach the bat slowly and cautiously, and when it lands, place a box or coffee can over it. Slide a piece of cardboard under the container to trap the bat inside. Tape the cardboard to the container securely. Then contact the health department for further instructions. Bats play key roles in eating insects, including agricultural pests. They also disperse seeds and pollinate plants in rain forests. Most bats do not have rabies, but those that do exhibit unusual behavior. They are usually in places where bats are not usually seen (in a room in your home or on the lawn), or they are active by day, or they are unable to fly well. If you see a bat exhibiting this behavior, don’t handle it. If you do get bitten by a bat, wash the area vigorously with soap and water and get medical advice immediately. Their teeth are tiny and leave marks that are not easily seen. Because of this, there are situations in which you should seek medical advice even in the absence of an obvious bite wound. For example, if you awaken and find a bat in your room, see a bat in the room of an unattended child, or see a bat near a mentally impaired or intoxicated per-

son, you should seek medical advice in these instances. Rabid bats have been found in almost every county in Washington. In 2012, a total of nine rabid bats were identified in Washington, one each in Chelan, Cowlitz, Grays Harbor, Island, King, Skagit, Snohomish, Wahkiakum, and Whatcom Counties. “One in 10 bats that come in contact with people has rabies,” said Dr. Frank James, SJC health officer about bat statistics nationwide. “Also, over 90 percent of domestically acquired rabies cases reported in the U.S. since 1995 have been linked to bats. It’s important that people know the possible risks for rabies from bat exposures.” Call us at 378-4474 for advice about rabies exposure. For more, www.cdc. gov/rabies/bats/education/ index.html. (Editor’s note: There has never been a confirmed case of rabies in a human in San Juan County. According to the Washington Department of Health there have been two cases of human rabies in the state during the last 20 years. In 1995, a fouryear-old child died of rabies four weeks after a bat was found in her bedroom; and in 1997, a 64-year-old man was diagnosed with rabies.)
the state of Washington puts the burden on the legislators to amply fund the education of all of our children in the state, and I want to hold them to that. Tony Ghazel School Board Director #2

Questions for OPAlCO Two little known facts about OPALCO’s “Broadband Vision” are: 1) OPALCO has approved over $5 million for “backbone” network investments, including $3 million already spent in infrastructure, $1.2 million on broadband studies, and a significant chunk to procure 700 MHz frequency. 2) The board voted that these “backbone” costs are to be underwritten 100 percent by members through electricity rates, instead of being partially recovered from Century Link, ISPs and broadband users through lease or network fees. Five million dollars amounts to roughly a 2.9 percent “tax” on the entire OPALCO membership assuming these costs are paid over 10 years. We want fast, reliable internet, too. But we have questions and concerns. Are

we happy about our electricity rates being “padded” to subsidize broadband and cellular users? Specifically, are each of the “backbone” network investments justifiable as an improvement in the electrical system? Or do some investments (e.g. procurement of the 700 MHz frequency) make sense only if you count their non-electricity benefits – while making electricity users shoulder the costs? If some of these investments only are viable with a cross-subsidy, are we okay with that? If so, to what extent are we willing to cross-subsidize? Can OPALCO show a cost-benefit analysis to ensure our padded electricity costs do not exceed benefits to local economic development? And even then, we need to acknowledge equity issues: winners and losers are not necessarily the same. Perhaps it’s wise to pause and re-think the board’s decision. Put the 700 MHz frequency procurement process on hold until its economic merit, without cross-subsidization, is evident. We admire OPALCO’s sincere effort to facilitate local economic development. But broadband is not the only area where OPALCO can make a difference. Green energy, energy efficiency, green designs and construction are potential areas of investment and job creation with high economic, social and environmental returns (and a lot less risk compared to telecom). We wish to see
OPALCO become a visionary leader on this front, leading and collaborating with the county and its members towards a dynamic, resilient future in its new chapter of the next 75 years. Chom & Chris Greacen Lopez Island

Another successful ‘fifth School is off to a good start season’ for Farm to Cafeteria by BARBARA KLINE
Orcas School Superintendent
by MADIE MURRAY F2C Chair
“Fifth Season” on Orcas Island is when we gather as much abundant fresh summer produce, fruits and herbs from island farms as possible and process and freeze them so they can be used later in the year when they would normally not be available for our school breakfasts and lunches. In essence, we are creating an additional, or fifth, season of food. On Friday the 13th, a band of earnest Farm to Cafeteria volunteers gathered together in the school Home Economics classroom amongst a virtual garden of plums, beets, basil, onions, tomatoes, garlic, corn, green and yellow beans, parsley, Italian prunes, red and yellow spuds, pears and squash...and did I mention plums? Perhaps our biggest job was pitting and packaging about 75 pounds of plums that will be turned into sauces and desserts prepared by our cafeteria staff this fall. Processing the rest of the items was a piece of cake, so to speak. The school garden, as well as Black Dog, Taproot, Coffelt, Morning Star, and Family Tides Farms supplied the amazingly beautiful veggies and herbs. The orchards of Ed Suij, Coffelt and Barbara Wheeler provided a huge supply of delicious pears and plums. A great big thanks to these amazing farms and orchards for their generous support of this program, also Bing, Zach and Debbie in our cafeteria, and to the volunteers: Kate Long, Merry Bush, Margie Doyle,

Students and staff at the Orcas Island School District has gotten off to a great start for the 2013-14 school year. Students seem very excited to be back at school with their friends in new classes or schools. Both students and staff are enjoying their work with Kathy Page, new principal of the elementary, and Kyle Freeman, now principal of both middle and high schools. Kathy and Kyle have been continuing the positive behavior work that we began a few years ago. The three rules for all schools are: “Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be Respectful.” Kathy has brought new depth and fun for elementary students by the addition of “high five” stickers for students who are “caught” being particularly safe or responsible or respectful. Students are very happy to be collecting stickers and getting high fives from staff for their efforts. Elementary students (grades 1-3) were taking swimming lessons at Camp Orkila last week when the weather was still warm and sunny. We are very lucky to have a great resource such as Camp Orkila available to us and appreciate the partnership between the school and the camp. A big thank you also goes out to the parents who volunteered their time to accompany the students. Last Friday afternoon teachers spent time in a workshop learning more about the new instruc-

A substantial group of teachers continued working into Friday evening to improve their understanding and teaching skills in reading for students in preschool through elementary. Athletics and student clubs have gotten underway. We had three exciting home games on Saturday with more planned for the coming week. If you are interested in keeping up with student activities and events, you can find the weekly student bulletin and announcements posted at the school district website at http://www.orcasislandschools.org/. We are looking forward to good conversations with parents at the Back to School Nights on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week. We are very appreciative of the support of the community as we start the new school year. Thanks to the tech levy that was passed by the commu-
forestry consulting
nity, we started school with new student and teacher computers. These expand access by adding more devices as well as replacing ones that are past their useful life. We also continue to work on the 2012 bond plans. We expect to go out for bid in January with construction scheduled to begin in early April. The first construction site will be in the elementary building to create the new middle school. We are also placing a modular building on campus. As soon as the permit is approved, we will build the foundation for the new modular building. When the foundation is complete, we will move the modular to the foundation and set it up as a classroom behind the current administration building. This is the picture of a new modular building that is now the property of the Orcas Island School District; it is pictured on the University of Washington campus which was its old home. The building is currently stored in Mt. Vernon waiting for the foundation to be completed. When that step is done, it will be moved and placed on its new foundation on the school campus behind the district office.

Obituaries Ron Meng 1954-2013 Ron Meng, founder and owner of Islands Marine Center, Lopez Island Wash., passed away peacefully Aug. 22, 2013 after a threeyear battle with cancer. Truly a self-made man, Ron started IMC some 40 years ago literally from the trunk of his car, servicing what was then a sizable fishing fleet on Lopez. Gradually, he and his wife Jennifer purchased waterfront property, developed a full-service marina and shifted their emphasis to recreational boaters as the commercial fishing industry waned. Ron was
WWW.ISLANDSSOUNDER.COM
a skilled mechanic and an avid fisherman, two traits that he blended successfully to design and bring to market his own brand of northwest-style boat: the Ocean Sport Roamer. Coming up on hull #100, this unique brand was a source of great pride for Ron as he actively engaged his favorite pastime – fishing trips to Barkley Sound. Ron was born Feb. 6, 1954, in Seattle, Wash., to Godan and Florence Meng. He spent his youth in the Normandy Park neighborhood of Seattle, moving to Lopez Island in 1972. The next year, Ron married Jennifer Collman, also of Lopez. The couple started their business, Islands
Marine Center, the same year. Ron is survived by his wife of 40 years, Jennifer Meng, his daughter Christine Meng, his granddaughter Madeline Anderson, his niece Amanda, his parents Godan and Florence Meng, his brothers, Eric, Dennis and Bob, his sisters Lori and Karen, and many, muchloved nieces and nephews. A celebration of his life will be held at Woodman Hall on Lopez Island on Sunday, Sept. 29 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Friends of Woodman Hall, P.O. Box 424, Lopez Is., WA 98261.
Theodore Vern Coffelt March 20, 1930 – September 5, 2013 Vern Coffelt was born in Westsound on Orcas Island to Amos and Helen Smedberg Coffelt. He grew up on the Smedberg farm on Turtleback Mountain, the third of four brothers. The family worked the farm for a frugal and healthy livelihood, learning old world farming know how from his Grandfather John Gus “JG” Smedberg. Vern’s father Amos worked on the early freight boats and ferries and died in 1942. The family was very young. The Coffelt boys were known for being an active, lively bunch who worked long and hard to make ends meet. Vern and his brothers Jack, Amos (Ed) and Russell all attended grade school and high school on Orcas Island. In 1950, the family moved from the Smedberg place on Turtleback to the fertile Crow Valley farm. Vern stayed with his mother to work the place now known as the Coffelt Farm. Helen Coffelt passed in 1955. Vern was left with an active farm and full-time operation with sheep, cattle, dairy, poultry and a hay crop to manage. Vern cherished the farm education he had with his Grandfather Smedberg on the Turtleback farm. Family farms were struggling to survive in those years and Vern found it prudent to find other work for several years to support the farm. He worked in logging and construction and then, in 1960, went to work full-time for Orcas Power and Light Cooperative. In the early sixties, he married Florence “Tony” Howard. In 1977, Vern and Sidney Reynolds were married and formed a life partnership and team that has carried the farm to the successful operation it is today. In 1995, after 35 years of service as Line Foreman and later Operations Manager, Vern retired from OPALCO. Vern spent the rest of his life doing what he was meant and chosen to do. He seldom left the farm and put each day to his calling of working the farm. He loved his work and was committed to producing the best quality food he could for Orcas Island.
August 20, 2013 was Vern’s last day on his beloved farm. He did the chores and daily work and then suffered a crippling stroke during the night. He was airlifted to the hospital in Bellingham and then to Whatcom Hospice House in Fairhaven where he rested, was tended to by Sidney and visited by family and friends. Vern earned his final rest after two weeks in the constant care of Sidney in hospice. He passed on to his reward on September 5, 2013. Vern is survived by his wife Sidney; sons Tim and John (Sarah); grandchildren Brandon, Kendra, Jordan and Rayna; brother Russ (Jan) and numerous nieces and nephews. Vern was famous for being a favorite uncle. Vern will be remembered for his legendary integrity, wide and frequent smile and his wonderful, keen and sharp sense of humor. He had a remarkable ability to play with words and deliver a clear meaning – with a twinkle. A memorial service for Vern will be held on Sunday, Sept. 29 at 1 p.m. at the Oddfellows Hall in Eastsound. Refreshments are being prepared by the Orcas 4H Fur & Feathers Club. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to the Whatcom Hospice House.
Celebrate banned books Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read, Sept. 22 to 28. Typically held during the last week of September, it highlights the value of free and open access to information. Banned Books Week brings together the book community – librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers and readers of all types – in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular. By focusing on efforts across the country to remove or restrict access to books, Banned Books Week draws national attention to the harms of censorship. Check out the frequently challenged books list

to explore the issues and controversies around book challenges and book banning. The books featured have all been targeted with removal or restrictions in libraries and schools. While books have been and continue to be banned, part of the Banned Books Week celebration is the fact that, in a majority of cases, the books have remained available. The Orcas Island Public Library commemorates this week by showcasing this year’s list of Banned and Challenged Materials that are in the Library’s catalog. And, of course, they will offer their “Banned Books Brownies.”
Washington. Symptoms associated with spider bites can vary from minor to severe. For Crawford many mystery bites are falsely attributed to spiders. “Spiders have no reason to bite humans,” Crawford told the Seattle Times. “They are not bloodsuckers. They are not even aware of our existence.” Only a few people have ever died from spider venom, he writes on his website. For some islanders, watching the spiders arrive is a thrilling moment rather
than a scary one. Orcas residents Victoria and Bathan Shaner sat down for dinner last week and noticed an arachnid show unfold outside. “The spider would wait at the top of the web for the ants to land then would maneuver down to put the ant to sleep, spin it in the web, then move to the next one,” Victoria said. “It was incredible to watch what spiders can do and the web itself was beautiful.” For more spider info, visit http://www.burkemuseum. org/spidermyth.

Former employee accused of $17K lottery ticket theft A San Juan Island man accused of embezzling nearly $17,000 in scratchoff lottery tickets while employed at a Friday Harbor convenience store is slated to stand trial for felony theft in mid-November. On Aug. 30, Miles Spencer Crossen, 57, pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of firstdegree felony theft. He was released under court orders pending a Nov. 18 trial date. According to court documents, prosecutors claim

that Crossen, while on duty, marked off hundreds of scratch-off tickets over a six-month stretch, without first having activated them with a store scanner, beginning in July 2012. He reportedly discarded the losers in the trash and redeemed the winners at various island stores. The store owner reportedly witnessed a series of scratch-off thefts after reviewing footage from a surveillance camera, which has since been taped-over by more recent footage. When confronted by the store owner, Crossen reportedly admitted to the theft and, according to court records, acknowledged it in a signed and notarized affidavit. A Class B felony, firstdegree theft carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both; however, the standard range of sentencing set by the state is two to six months in jail.

Fourth Annual Great Island Grown Fest coming soon by STEVE WEHRLY Journal reporter
If you liked the county fair, you will love the fourth annual Great Island Grown Festival. It’s a three island, 13-day extravaganza with a cornucopia of food, farms and friendliness – just the elements that have made the San Juan County Fair the “can't miss” event in the islands for more than a century. Spearheaded by the San Juan County Agricultural Resources Committee and the revitalized Island Grown in the San Juans program, the festival “celebrates the bounty of abundant farms and locally grown food in our beautiful archipelago within the Salish Sea,” according to Island Grown's extensive new website, islandgrown.net. Food and more food will be the hallmark of the two-week event. Each island will provide multiple opportunities to fill your cupboard and yourself with local produce, seafood and fish. All food events have a fee; visit islandgrown.net/festival for event prices, reservation requirements and other details. On Orcas, renowned chefs Christina Orchid and Madden Surbaugh are produc-
ing gourmet feasts at Red Rabbit Farm (Oct. 6) and the New Leaf Cafe (Oct. 12). Orchid’s “Going Whole Hog” will be an all-day event starting at 10 a.m. on Oct. 6, featuring instruction on butchering, roasting and preserving pork. There will also be an all-day Farm Olympics, with contests such as hay bale lifting and milk pail car-
Peace Health, UW ink deal PeaceHealth and Univserity of Washington Medicine signed a 10-year “collaboration agreement” Sept. 12, under which PeaceHealth, which operates clinics and hospitals in Friday Harbor, Bellingham and other locations, will refer complex cases or high risk patients to University of Washington hospitals. PeaceHealth previously had attempted to
negotiate a different kind of cooperative arrangement with the Franciscan Health System, a unit of Catholic Health Services of Colorado. The negotiations were terminated earlier this year for unspecified reasons. PeaceHealth was recently selected as a possible affiliation partner by Skagit Regional Health hospitals and Cascade Valley Hospital. Island Hospital
of Anacortes, operator of Orcas Medical Center on Orcas Island, participated in the process but decided not to participate. The agreement specifies eight examples of medical care that might be provided by UW, including level 1 trauma and burn care, cancer care, organ transplantation, complex cardiac and vascular care and complex neurological surgical care.
rying. Proceeds benefit the Orcas School Farm to Cafeteria Program. Surbaugh’s gourmet Island Harvest Popup Dinner at 6 p.m. on Oct. 12 will feature local ingredients from Maple Rock Farm, Coffelt Farm, Jones Family Farm and Buck Bay Shellfish. Locally produced beer, wine and spirits are included. Lopez feasts include a Lopez Locavores Evening Meal at the school Oct. 3; Lopez on the Halfshell Oct. 4, at 11 a.m. at Sweetwater Farm (with a tour); and a Farms to Feast dinner Oct. 13 at Jones Family Farm, prepared by chef Derrek Bugge from Frank’s Oyster House and Champagne Bar in Seattle (also with a tour). Vita's Wildly Delicious and watercolorist Tom Hoffman team up Oct. 11 and 12 for a two-day watercolor course followed by a wine-tasting dinner at 6 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 12. San Juan Island will host its share of gastronomic delights, too. There’s a Chili Cook-off Oct. 6 at the Brickwords; a Bike and Gastronomic Tour the same day, with a lunch at Red Mill Farm; and a Tour the Fields, Taste the Feast event Friday, Oct. 11, with dinner following at Coho Restaurant in Friday Harbor.
The Oct. 5 and Oct. 12 Farmers’ Markets on Orcas, Lopez and San Juan will be overflowing with freshly harvested veggies and fruits, some of it ready to eat and some of it ready to cook. San Juan County’s farmers have learned to grow almost everything from spring to fall, so you can choose from a big variety, from greens to sausages to apples at peak flavor. On Orcas, also Oct. 5 and 12, a Food Masters Workshop can inform you how the best farmers and processors grow, harvest and preserve. Three workshops, 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. each day, will tell you about sustainable horticultural practices, at the Community Garden, and value-added production, at the Village Green. And what’s a festival without a parade? Sponsored by the Grange No. 966, the Friday Harbor Fall Farm Parade Oct. 5 is a hoot-and-holler event, from children with chickens and pets, to farm families with tractors and harvesters parading through Friday Harbor’s main streets to celebrate the resurgence of smalls farms and local food in the San Juans. It starts at the county fairgrounds at 2:30 p.m. and ends at Brickworks.

Great plants to carry your garden through fall
T
by CALI BAGBY Staff reporter
rying to find the right career or a purpose in life is a common struggle. For Roger Gossler, the answer was simple. In his recent talk on Orcas he was introduced to nearly 70 islanders as “one of the few people fortunate to know what he wanted to do with his life since he was born.” He had his own garden by the time he was four and later earned a degree in landscape, design and maintenance. He is now an author, buyer and main grower at his family business Gossler Family Nursery and speaks about plants across the country. On Wednesday, Sept. 18, Gossler presented “Fall, the Forgotten Season” at the Orcas Island Garden Club meeting in the Madrona Room of Orcas Center. His appearance was also sponsored by the Orcas Island Library and Friends of the Library. Roger grew up in Springfield, Ore. on the Gossler family farm. His family has been in the Springfield area for 120 years and has farmed there for most of that time. In the 1960s, the family produced their first cata-

log and began shipping their plants around the country. In 1985, they quit farming and established the nursery. Gossler became interested in plants at an early age and became a leader in promoting the use of woody trees and shrubs. For the program, Gossler provided slides of red and yellow plants with backdrops of green and purple foliage. He also shared information about plants that are ideal to have on hand in the fall. “You can have a year-round garden with lots of color,” he said. At his family’s nursery there are 5,000 different varieties of plants. He shared about 70 plants with his Orcas audience. Here are a few highlights from his selection: Amaryllis belladonna or naked lady are easy to plant and smell like vanilla. Cyclamen hederifoliun is a tuberous perennial that blooms and sprouts leaves in autumn, grows through the winter and goes dormant before summer. Once you have these in your garden for two to three years you will have them forever. Interesting fact: The seeds of the plant are distributed by ants. Melianthus major smells like peanut but-

ter and will bloom into the winter. The foliage is described as incredible. Gossler’s “favorite” is aster prince because it’s easy to grow and is mildew resistant. It blooms for a month and a half from late August into September. Buttercup winter hazel has brilliant yellow leaves in the fall. Parrotia persica or Persian ironwood in the wild can grow to be a 150-foot timber tree in its native Iraq and Iran. Gossler recommends not planting this tree unless you have an acre and a half. “If you do have room, this is one of the most beautiful trees imaginable,” he said. Hamamelis Jelena, also known as witch hazel, can thrive in full sun and flowers from December to February. Blue billow hydrangea turns deep crimson as they age. Fall foliage reveals an attractive shade of burgundy. “Instead of putting the garden to bed we are going to keep it awake,” said Gossler.

Othello plays Live from the Met
Nicholas Hytner’s acclaimed National Theatre production of Shakespeare’s “Othello,” with Adrian Lester in the title role and Rory Kinnear as Iago, will be broadcast live to Orcas Center from the National’s Olivier Theatre on Thursday, Sept. 26 at 7:30 p.m.
Does Shakespeare ever get stale for experienced Shakespeareans? In Nicolas Hytner’s contemporary production of “Othello,” two leading British theatre actors, Adrian Lester and Rory Kinnear, have drawn acclaim for the fresh clarity and credibility of their performances as Othello and Iago – characters whose ultimately lethal actions can sometimes strain belief. Lester was last seen at the National in the title role of Nicholas Hytner’s production of “Henry V.” His screen work includes five series of the BBC’s “Hustle.” His theatre work also includes “Red Velvet” (2012 Critics’ Circle Best Actor Award), “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” “Company” (Olivier Award), the title role in Peter Brook’s production of “Hamlet” and Rosalind in Cheek by Jowl’s “As You Like It.” Rory Kinnear’s film and TV work includes “Southcliffe,” “Black Mirror: The National Anthem,” and “Skyfall, Quantum of Solace.” His work for the National includes “The Last of the Haussmans” with Julie Walters and the title role in “Hamlet” (Evening Standard Best Actor Award), both of which were broadcast by National Theatre Live. Tickets for “Othello” from NT Live are $18 for adults, $13 students, $2 off for Orcas Center members, and may be purchased at www.orcascenter.org or by calling 376-2281 ext. 1 or visiting the Orcas Center Box Office.
JP and the OK Rhythm Boys will be bringing their fine and fun fiddling to the Deer Harbor Inn on Saturday, Sept. 28 from 6 to 8 p.m. Enjoy swing tunes, jazz standards, hoe downs, waltzes, originals, 60s rockers and more. This will be the band's final Orcas appearance before they depart on their annual West Coast Tour, and they are looking forward to trying out some of their new material on the home town crowd. The band consists of JP Wittman, fiddler extraordinaire, ably backed by Gordon Koenig and Anita Orne on guitar and bass (and sometimes mandolin, ukulele, banjo, and musical saw). They all sing as well.
PET OF THE WEEK
EMS class will be starting this October Orcas Island Fire and Rescue is expanding its services to the community, as there is a growing need for professional volunteer EMTs in the outlying stations at Doe Bay, Olga, Orcas and Deer Harbor.

Classes will be held each Wednesday night and all day Saturday through March 2014 in Friday Harbor. Transportation options will be provided by OIFR. Interested full-time residents of Orcas Island are invited to join the San Juan EMT Course. Applications are available at the Eastsound Fire Station and must be completed and turned in by 10 a.m. on Sept. 30 at the Eastsound Fire Station. I’m Pete, the last lucky one to be at Islanders Bank this week. You’ll love my long grey tabby stockings. Also, go to the Orcas Animal Shelter any day from 2 to 5 p.m. and see a bountiful bunch of kittens, cats and even a dog. Call 376-6777 or we’re on the web, too at www.orcaspets.org.

Montessori school’s solar system is up and running Contributed photo

Orcas Montessori School’s Solar System is providing green power. Today, the Orcas Montessori School’s new 9
kilowatt photovoltaic solar power system was completed and connected to the OPALCO energy grid. “We are so excited to be
producing clean energy for both the school and the larger community,” said Teresa Chocano, Orcas Montessori director. “Facility improvements will significantly reduce our energy usage and our students and staff are challenging ourselves to make even greater improvements.” A small array is located on the east side of the school’s roof and is visible
from North Beach road. The majority of the system is located on the west flank of the roof, to maximize solar exposure. The renewable school program at Orcas Montessori includes major efficiency upgrades to the facility, the pv solar system and hands-on renewable energy activities for students and was made possible by grant support from the Bonneville Environmental Foundation, OPALCO, and the Community Energy Challenge, as well as extensive support from individual community members. “A huge thank you to our grant funders and all of the generous volunteers and
Island kids enjoy summer reading The Orcas Elementary school had 75 summer readers. They celebrated by having ice cream sundaes on Sept. 18. Students kept track of their books all summer and returned the lists to Susan Stolmeier this fall with the promise of an ice cream sundae. “The PTSA granted me the cost of ingredients to make this a super summer readers’ special,” Stolmeier said.

And you’re a part of a whole choir of angels that are also in the same vibration right now, and as we give, the more we get, so give your love away.

NOTICE AND SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON FOR SAN JUAN COUNTY SAN JUAN COUNTY, a duly organized County of the State of Washington, Plaintiff vs. Deward H Hastings, and each and every lot, tract or parcel of real property herein described; and each and every person herein named as owner of said property; or any part thereof, and each and every person having or claiming to have any right, title, lien or interest in, or upon, said real property, or any part thereof by, through or under said named owner, or owners, and all persons unknown, if any, having or claiming to have any right, title, lien or interest or estate in, to, or upon, said real property, or any part thereof. Defendants. CAUSE NO. 13 2 05173 8 THE STATE OF WASHINGTON TO THE SAID DEFENDANTS: 1. A lawsuit has been started against the property which you own or in which you may have an interest, described herein, to foreclose the real property tax lien of San Juan County. 2. San Juan County is the owner and holder of Certificate of Delinquency No. 13 2 05173 8, amended September 4, 2013 issued as shown on Exhibit A hereto, for delinquent real property taxes for 2010 through 2013 or prior years, interest, penalties, and foreclosure costs owed on the real property described herein as of September 4, 2013. 3. In order to defend against this foreclosure lawsuit, you must: a) Appear and defend this action by answering this Notice and Summons in writing within thirty (30) days after the date of first publication of this Notice and Summons, exclusive of the date of first publication. Your answer must be in writing and must specify the particular cause of objection to foreclosure; or, b) In the alternative to filing an answer, you must pay the amount due for taxes, interest, penalties and foreclosure costs. 4. If you wish to seek the advice of an attorney in this matter, you should do so promptly so that your written answer, if any, may be served on time.
5. San Juan County will apply to the San Juan County Superior Court for a judgment foreclosing its lien for taxes and an order to sell the property against which judgment is rendered. If you fail to answer or pay the amount due, judgment will be entered against the property without notice, foreclosing the lien for taxes, interest, penalties and foreclosure costs against the land and premises described therein. The judgment would be against the property and not a personal judgment against you. 6. If judgment is rendered against the property, it will be ordered to be sold at public auction. The property against which judgment is rendered will be sold unless redeemed prior to the close of business December 17, 2013, the last business day before the day of sale. The sale is scheduled and will be by public auction on Wednesday, December 18, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. or as soon thereafter as may be practicable in the Lobby of the San Juan County Courthouse at 350 Court Street in Friday Harbor, Washington. The sale may be continued from time to time and place to place. 7. The property may be redeemed from foreclosure, and sale of the property avoided, by paying all delinquent taxes, interest, penalties and foreclosure costs before the close of business December 10, 2013, the last business day before the public auction. The payment must be by cash, cashier’s check or money order payable to the San Juan County Treasurer. Foreclosure costs are estimated to be $2,325.00 plus approximately $400.00 for the cost of a title search for each parcel of real property having a separate tax account number. 8. There is no right of redemption on the day of or after the public auction. If you do not redeem the property from foreclosure and are the record owner of the property on the day of issuance of the Certificate of Delinquency, then you are entitled to any sale proceeds which exceed the taxes, interest, penalties, foreclosure costs and outstanding local Improvement assessments. 9. Interest accrues at the rate of 12% per year. Pursuant to RCW 84.56.020, a penalty of 3% of the full
year 2013 amount of tax unpaid was assessed June 1, 2013 and a penalty of 8% of the full year 20137 amount of tax unpaid will be assessed on December 1, 2013, if the property is not redeemed by then. 10. Exemption for elderly and disabled: This action will not be continued against your property if you are eligible for deferral of taxes (RCW Chapter 84.38) due to age or disability, and you file a declaration to defer taxes in accordance with the requirements of the chapter. The Assessor’s Office can assist you in filing the declaration. 11. You may obtain further information regarding the matters set forth above, including the total amount of delinquent taxes, interest, penalties, and foreclosure costs payable at the time of redemption, and a full, unabbreviated legal description of this property, by contacting the San Juan County Treasurer, Foreclosure Deputy, 350 Court Street, P.O.
