New residents seem to be appearing on the island everyday. They are found on window-sills, 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 hemi-sphere spider collectors. Only a few spider species including the larger orb weavers and the giant house spi-ders 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 spe-cies 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

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 colli-sion. WSF Spokeswoman Marta Coursey said that placement of the two WSF employees on adminis-

trative assignment is routine pro-cedure as part of such an investi-gation.

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, report-edly in 250 feet of water.

Cousey said the time of release of the inquiry board’s findings-of-fact will depend on the length of evaluation of the collision.

Meg Lainson, Ross Lockwood and Shona Aitken completed a 30-mile walk/run to celebrate

Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center from Sept. 5 through 7. The event was in honor of the cen-

ter’s 30th birthday and to raise funds for the orga-nization. The trio ran 10 miles on Orcas, Lopez and San Juan Island. They say they enjoyed every step and raised more than $3,000. Susen Oseth, Carol Parrot

and Sarah Kwon acted as a “support crew” on the dif-ferent islands.

“And thank you to every-one who sponsored us, providing a nice ‘birthday gift’ for Wolf Hollow,” said Aitken.

To find a large stack of mail to sift through after returning from a long-overdue 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 hap-pen’,” 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 consid-ered applications or new appointments to various state boards because of unfinished state budget-ary business. Martindale opened the envelope to discover that, by appoint-ment 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 appli-cations and approves grants to organizations and com-munities large and small in the visual and performing arts, and in writing. Its mis-sion is to speak to the value of public art, build leader-ship 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 mak-ing, Martindale, owner of Acquisitions, an art con-sulting business, downplays her artistic talents. But as an advocate and ambassa-dor of the arts, Martindale believes that her enthusi-asm and energy would rival just about anyone’s.

Martindale is chair-woman 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 volun-teers with the Community

Arts Theatre Society, is a member of Women in the Visual and Literary Arts and was a board member of the Houston Ebony Opera Guild before relocating to San Juan Island.

The Funhouse Commons announces the appointment of Interim Director Krista Bouchey following the depar-ture of long-standing Executive Director Pete Moe. She will also act as the operating manager.

Bouchey recently served as the Assistant Director of the Funhouse Commons for over three years. She has achieved significant success managing the popular After-School Program with attendance nearly doubling during her tenure. The After-School Program is an essential offering for the Orcas community, providing a consistent and healthy environment for the island’s youth, ages eight to 13, every school day from 3:15 to 5:30 p.m.

Other programs that continue to thrive under Bouchey’s leadership include Teen Night and the Mentor Program. The Funhouse Commons also serves as an important vendor for the Orcas Island Park and Recreation District, coordinating sports and youth programs on its behalf.

The organization strives to serve the community by providing a safe place for kids to play, interact and learn during non-school hours. The Funhouse Commons is also seeking motivated volunteers and mentors.

Island CupThe Friday Harbor

Wolverines football team triumphantly retained the Island Cup Saturday at Dahl Field for the second con-secutive year in one of the most uneven contests of the Cup history in a 69-0 non-league event.

The young 20-member Viking squad with 12 fresh-man and sophomores faced a 40-member seasoned “wolverine” pack loaded with 22 juniors and seniors. Viking team elders remem-ber the 2010 and 2011 sea-sons 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, highlight-ing 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 defen-sive 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 back-ups 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.

VolleyballThe Lady Vikings fin-

ished the week with a

series of close games with Shoreline Christian ending with a Viking victory Sept. 14 while the experienced Darrington Loggers handed the Vikings their second season loss on Sept. 17.

Boys Soccerby JACK RUSSILLO

Orcas High School senior

The Vikings boys soccer team played the top-ranked Grace Academy Eagles end-ing 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 line-up. 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-cal-iber 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 show-ing 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 play-ing younger players, the Vikings focused on spread-ing out the playing time in

order to get all players more experience against a state-caliber team.

The boys will play Mt. Vernon Christian at a home game on Friday, Sept. 27 at 3 p.m.

OPALCO Journeyman Lineman Kevin Zoerb was work-ing on the south end of Lopez Island when he came in con-tact 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 mes-sages 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.

The trouble with spiders

Fuss over flags?With all the recent fuss over fly-

ing flags and banners in Eastsound, aren’t there more important things to be concerned about? All you Seahawks fans out there, don’t think about flying your 12th Man flag because you might upset some-one. Mr. Bratney, (Editor’s note: See Bratney’s letter in the Sept. 18 edition of the Sounder) I sup-pose now you, your wife, and little Johnny and Janey will have to look away every time you see a rainbow in the sky?

David RayEastsound

Letter about flags was offensive

Others like me will undoubt-edly 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 dis-tance with his family from his Iowa town to vacation here, he has no doubt offended many in this com-munity who welcome diversity and equality for all. That he insists we should instead only fly the

American flag, which in his words “stands for liberty and justice for all people” is exactly the same mes-sage the rainbow flag reminds us we should be recognizing for those who have been restricted or left out. This man’s biased opinions and insinuations were chilling. 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.

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 sched-ule, but mostly I remember how many interesting people I met while tooling around on Orcas and San Juan. It was fun to find com-mon threads to talk about with visitors, often meeting folks from the Midwest (as I was). I love that small world kind of happenstance!

Ginna MageeDeer Harbor

Happy with new roadWith all due respect to friends

and neighbors who resisted it, we would like to sing some quiet praise to the new pathway bordering Mt.

Baker Road. Pathways open worlds of possibility for those of us dedi-cated 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 lim-iting. On Orcas the pedestrian/cyclist seeks refuge in a slightly wider road or the ability to get off the road. This pathway is a gift to us for which we are grateful.

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 strong-ly 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 stan-dard. This is a duty that I take seri-ously; we must not fail the children

Editor’s notebook

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 � nd their way to me constantly. I scream, I tremble, I � ing 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 � rst place I lived in as an adult – a refurbished basement – enormous house spiders took up residence in the unused � replace,

which just happened to be next to my bed. Every night, I would scan the quilt and sheets, ferreting out any unwanted guests. I would then get in, lean up against

the backboard and watch the � replace 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 long-legged house spiders to scurry across my bathroom � oor, 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 poi-sonous 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.

by the San Juan County health DepartmentWorld 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 mam-mals. 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 dis-ease by anti-rabies treat-ment 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 out-doors, 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 lead-ing 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 con-tainer to trap the bat inside. Tape the cardboard to the container securely. Then contact the health depart-ment for further instruc-tions.

Bats play key roles in eat-ing insects, including agri-cultural pests. They also disperse seeds and pollinate plants in rain forests. Most bats do not have rabies, but those that do exhibit unusu-al 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 imme-diately.

Their teeth are tiny and leave marks that are not eas-ily 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 awak-en 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 medi-cal 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 nation-wide. “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 pos-sible risks for rabies from bat exposures.”

Call us at 378-4474 for advice about rabies expo-sure. For more, www.cdc.gov/rabies/bats/education/index.html.

(Editor’s note: There has never been a con-firmed 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 four-year-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.)

Guest columnRaising awareness about rabies

in our charge.My active participation in

the Orcas community as a member of the Orcas Lions and an active participant in many school activities for the past 16 years have helped me understand the needs of our children and families. This involvement has enabled me to com-municate and engage the community in the pursuit of educational excellence and offer extracurricular activities such as music and

sports to enhance the chil-dren’s educational experi-ence.

My involvement in the Orcas Lions has laid a heavy burden on my heart and confirmed the financial struggles of young families with school age children on this island. As a school board director I saw the need first hand. The meal that many of our children receive at school daily might be the only meal that child gets for that day.

We are not done. In the coming years board deci-sions require level heads,

experience, creativity and commitment to our child-rens’ and staffs’ success. We need to make sure that the public’s generosity is appre-ciated and properly utilized. We need to continue work on the legislative front, and with the help of our local legislators such as Senator Ranker and others who have supported us on many occasions, we will see more progress. I want to continue working on full funding for basic education that also includes better compen-sation for our faculty and staffs. The constitution of

huge thank you go out to Camp Orkila, YMCA Swim Instructors and Dimetri and Lorena Stankevich. Orcas Elementary students in first through third graders had an amazing opportu-nity at Camp Orkila. They had four days of swim-ming and boating lessons from YMCA instructors. Thank you for this wonder-ful opportunity to learn to swim and learn boat safety. The program was highly organized for everyone to succeed and each student received a beautiful cer-tificate at the end. What a great gift to our Orcas Elementary students.

Questions for OPAlCO

Two little known facts about OPALCO’s “Broadband Vision” are:

1) OPALCO has approved over $5 million for “back-bone” network investments, including $3 million already spent in infrastructure, $1.2 million on broadband stud-ies, and a significant chunk to procure 700 MHz fre-quency.

2) The board voted that these “backbone” costs are to be underwritten 100 per-cent by members through electricity rates, instead of being partially recov-ered 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 elec-tricity rates being “padded” to subsidize broadband and cellular users? Specifically, are each of the “backbone” network investments justifi-able as an improvement in the electrical system? Or do some investments (e.g. pro-curement of the 700 MHz frequency) make sense only if you count their non-elec-tricity benefits – while mak-ing electricity users shoul-der 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 will-ing to cross-subsidize? Can OPALCO show a cost-ben-efit 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 evi-dent.

We admire OPALCO’s sincere effort to facilitate local economic develop-ment. But broadband is not the only area where OPALCO can make a dif-ference. Green energy, energy efficiency, green designs and construction are potential areas of invest-ment 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 vision-ary leader on this front, leading and collaborat-ing with the county and its members towards a dynam-ic, resilient future in its new chapter of the next 75 years.

by BARBARA KLINEOrcas School Superintendent

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 posi-tive 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 elementa-ry 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 part-nership 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-

tional Framework, the 5+ Dimensions of Teaching and Learning from the University of Washington. http://www.k-12leadership.org/services/5-dimensions.

A substantial group of teachers continued work-ing into Friday evening to improve their understand-ing and teaching skills in reading for students in pre-school through elementary.

Athletics and student clubs have gotten under-way. 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.orcasisland-schools.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-

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 use-ful 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 adminis-tration 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 cur-rently 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.

School is off to a good start

“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, sea-son 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, gar-lic, 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 beauti-ful 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,

Mariah Miller, Geri and David Turnoy, Jackie Daigle, Evangeline O’Sullivan, Chelsea Cates, and Jim Wilde from Lowe’s who came all way from “America” to give us a hand.

Ron Meng 1954-2013Ron Meng, founder and

owner of Islands Marine Center, Lopez Island Wash., passed away peacefully Aug. 22, 2013 after a three-year 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, devel-oped a full-service marina and shifted their empha-sis to recreational boaters as the commercial fishing industry waned. Ron was

a skilled mechanic and an avid fisherman, two traits that he blended success-fully 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 – fish-ing 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 neighbor-hood of Seattle, moving to Lopez Island in 1972. The next year, Ron mar-ried Jennifer Collman, also of Lopez. The couple start-ed 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, much-loved 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.

Obituaries

Theodore Vern CoffeltMarch 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 sup-port 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 mar-ried 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 suc-cessful 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 com-mitted 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); grandchil-dren 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 legend-ary 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.

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 com-munity – 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 con-sider unorthodox or unpopular.

By focusing on efforts across the coun-try to remove or restrict access to books, Banned Books Week draws national atten-tion 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 com-memorates 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.”

Celebrate banned books

trap and eat flies and other insects. Spiders should be conserved not eradicated, they added.

Spiders in Washington state that have a venomous bite are black widows and hobos.

Black widow spiders are common in eastern Washington, and a few small populations exist on the western side of the state, according to the Washington Department of Health. Hobo spiders are found anywhere in

Washington. Symptoms associated with spider bites can vary from minor to severe.

For Crawford many mys-tery bites are falsely attrib-uted 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 resi-dents Victoria and Bathan Shaner sat down for dinner last week and noticed an arachnid show unfold out-side.

“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.”

Community briefs

The fire danger in San Juan County is about to move to “low.”

With the fire danger beginning to wane, San Juan County’s fire services are prepar-ing to change the fire risk from “moder-ate” to “low.” With the risk of a damaging wildland fire diminishing, burn permits will be available beginning Tuesday, Oct. 1. “Residential” permits allow for a fire up to ten feet in diameter. The permit fee is $15. Permits will be valid through June, 2014. State law prohibits the use of burn barrels, and fires kindled with a permit may only burn natural, untreated wood.

Beginning Oct. 1, burn permits may be obtained in person from the Fire Districts located on Orcas, San Juan, Lopez and Shaw. Permits will also be available online at www.sjcfiremarshal.org.

Burn permits available Oct. 1

A San Juan Island man accused of embezzling nearly $17,000 in scratch-off lottery tickets while employed at a Friday Harbor convenience store is slated to stand trial for felony theft in mid-Novem-ber.

On Aug. 30, Miles Spencer Crossen, 57, pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of first-degree felony theft. He was released under court orders pending a Nov. 18 trial date.

According to court doc-uments, 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, begin-ning in July 2012.

He reportedly discarded the losers in the trash and redeemed the winners at various island stores.

The store owner report-edly 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, acknowl-edged it in a signed and notarized affidavit.

A Class B felony, first-degree theft carries maxi-mum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both; however, the stan-dard range of sentencing set by the state is two to six months in jail.

Former employee accused of $17K lottery ticket theft

If you liked the county fair, you will love the fourth annual Great Island Grown Festival. It’s a three island, 13-day extrava-ganza 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 boun-ty 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, roast-ing and preserving pork. There will also be an all-day Farm Olympics, with contests such as hay bale lifting and milk pail car-

rying. Proceeds benefit the Orcas School Farm to Cafeteria Program.

Surbaugh’s gourmet Island Harvest Pop-up 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 din-ner 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 over-flowing with freshly harvested veggies and fruits, some of it ready to eat and some of it ready to cook. San Juan County’s farm-ers 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 pro-duction, 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 coun-ty fairgrounds at 2:30 p.m. and ends at Brickworks.

PeaceHealth and Univserity of Washington Medicine signed a 10-year “collaboration agreement” Sept. 12, under which PeaceHealth, which oper-ates clinics and hospitals in Friday Harbor, Bellingham and other locations, will refer complex cases or high risk patients to University of Washington hospitals.

PeaceHealth previ-ously had attempted to

negotiate a different kind of cooperative arrange-ment with the Franciscan Health System, a unit of Catholic Health Services of Colorado. The negotia-tions were terminated ear-lier this year for unspecified reasons. PeaceHealth was recently selected as a pos-sible affiliation partner by Skagit Regional Health hos-pitals 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, can-cer care, organ transplanta-tion, complex cardiac and vascular care and complex neurological surgical care.

Island LivingFall in loveGreat plants to carry your garden through fall

by CALI BAGBYSta� reporter

T 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 intro-duced 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 pre-sented “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 selec-tion:

Amaryllis belladonna or naked lady are easy to plant and smell like vanilla.

Cyclamen hederifoliun is a  tuber-ous  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 foli-age 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 yel-low 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 rec-ommends 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 crim-son 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.

Nicholas Hytner’s acclaimed National Theatre produc-tion 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 produc-tion 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 some-times 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 the-atre 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.

Orcas Montessori School’s Solar System is pro-viding green power.

Today, the Orcas Montessori School’s new 9

kilowatt photovoltaic solar power system was com-pleted and connected to the OPALCO energy grid.

“We are so excited to be

producing clean energy for both the school and the larg-er community,” said Teresa Chocano, Orcas Montessori director. “Facility improve-ments will significantly reduce our energy usage and our students and staff are challenging ourselves to make even greater improve-ments.”

A small array is locat-ed 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 stu-dents and was made possible by grant support from the Bonneville Environmental Foundation, OPALCO, and the Community Energy Challenge, as well as exten-sive support from individu-al community members.

“A huge thank you to our grant funders and all of the generous volunteers and

donors who have made this energy efficiency and edu-cation project possible- we are getting closer to meet-ing our funding needs each day” said Tina Whitman, Montessori parent and board member.

Next steps for Montessori’s solar project include a teacher train-ing workshop for inter-ested local preschool and

elementary educators and the introduction of energy education materials such as solar cars and ovens into local classrooms.

For more information on the project, please visit us online at www.orcasmon-tessori.org. Live, web-based information on the power production of the system should be the site in the next week.

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 sum-mer 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.

“Discover the Gift,” a feature length documentary created by siblings Demian Lichtenstein and Shajen Joy Aziz, will be shown on Sunday, Sept. 29 at Oddfellows Hall from 7 to 10 p.m. Entrance is by donation, $5 to $10.

The film features more than two dozen of today’s most influential transformational leaders and speak-ers including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi

Shankar, Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Niurka, Barbara De Angeles, Bill Harris, David ‘Avocado’ Wolfe, and more.

A potluck dessert and discussion will follow. Bring a dessert to share, a plate, fork and mug,

The following is a quote from Christine Stevens of UpBeat Drum Circles featured in the film.

“When you start to use your gift to serve, magic happens in your life. It’s

greater than you could have imagined; it’s like a soloist becoming a part of a band. 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. Its an old chant that I learned once and its very true, the more you give, the more things come back to you and then it becomes what you really desire.”

Your an- swer must be in writing and must specify the particular cause of objec- tion to foreclosure; or, b) In the alter- native to filing an answer, you must pay the amount due for taxes, inter- est, 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 proper- ty against which judgment is ren- dered. If you fail to answer or pay the amount due, judgment will be en- tered 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 sched- uled 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 con- tinued 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 delin- quent 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 or- der payable to the San Juan County Treasurer. Foreclosure costs are es- timated to be $2,325.00 plus approx- imately $400.00 for the cost of a title search for each parcel of real proper- ty 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 Delin- quency, then you are entitled to any sale proceeds which exceed the tax- es, 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 penal- ty of 8% of the full year 20137 amount of tax unpaid will be as- sessed on December 1, 2013, if the property is not redeemed by then. 10. Exemption for elderly and dis- abled: This action will not be contin- ued against your property if you are eligible for deferral of taxes (RCW Chapter 84.38) due to age or disabil- ity, and you file a declaration to defer taxes in accordance with the require- ments of the chapter. The Asses- sor’s Office can assist you in filing the declaration.11.

Defendants.CAUSE NO. 13 2 05173 8THE 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, de- scribed 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 Septem- ber 4, 2013, issued as shown on Ex- hibit A hereto, for delinquent real property taxes for 2009 through 2013 or prior years, interest, penalties, and foreclosure costs owed on the real property described herein as of September 1, 2013.3. In order to defend against this foreclosure lawsuit, you must: a) Ap- pear and defend this action by an- swering 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 an- swer must be in writing and must specify the particular cause of objec- tion to foreclosure; or, b) In the alter- native to filing an answer, you must pay the amount due for taxes, inter- est, 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 proper- ty against which judgment is ren- dered. If you fail to answer or pay the amount due, judgment will be en- tered 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 sched- uled 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 theLobby of the San Juan County Courthouse at 350 Court Street, in Friday Harbor, Washington. The sale may be con- tinued 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 delin- quent taxes, interest, penalties and foreclosure costs before the close of business December 17, 2013, the last business day before the public auction. The payment must be by cash, cashier’s check or money or- der payable to the San Juan County Treasurer. Foreclosure costs are es- timated to be $2,325.00 plus approx- imately $400.00 for the cost of a title search for each parcel of real proper- ty 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 Delin- quency, then you are entitled to any sale proceeds which exceed the tax- es, 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 penal- ty of 8% of the full year 2013 amount of tax unpaid will be assessed on December 1, 2013, if the property is not redeemed by then. 10. Exemption for elderly and dis- abled: This action will not be contin- ued against your property if you are eligible for deferral of taxes (RCW

Chapter 84.38) due to age or disabil- ity, and you file a declaration to defer taxes in accordance with the require- ments of the chapter. The Asses- sor’s Office can assist you in filing the declaration.11.

Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival is bringing brass to the island the week of Oct. 6.

C Street Brass is the “Ensemble in Residence” at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pa., playing trumpets, horns and trombones. The quintet will lead edu-cational workshops and entertain with ensemble performances as part of the festi-val’s “Musician-in-Residence” program.

During the day, C Street Brass will be coaching students at Orcas elementary, middle and high schools, counseling with school music teachers and presenting spirit

school assemblies in schools and at Orcas Center.

The group will continue to coach and perform at night, too. On Monday, Oct. 7 at 7 p.m., C Street will take part in the Community Band rehearsal, with a focus on coaching brass members.

On Thursday, Oct. 10 there will be a Brass Master Class with Orcas Island’s Turtleback Brass. Other island brass players are wel-come to join this session. If interested, call the OICMF Office 376-6636. On Friday, Oct. 11, there will be a special concert at The Grange, “Classy Brass: A Chamber Music Festival Community Concert.” The program is at 7 p.m., followed by a post-concert coffee bar reception. Tickets are $15 and $10 for students 18 and under. To reserve your seat for this exciting con-cert, call OICMF 376-6636 or email joyce@oicmf.org.

C Street Brass performs classical, jazz, commercial and chamber music. They can be heard online at www.cstreetbrass.com. They have appeared in chamber music series across the country, and toured inter-nationally in Tbilisi, Georgia as Resident ensemble of the Traveling Notes Music Festival and in Doha, Qatar as ambassadors for Carnegie Mellon University.

The quintet has received outreach and community education training from vio-linist and educator Monique Mead, who Orcas students and audiences know well as OICMF’s popular “Musician-in-Residence” and festival performer.
