County OK’s Penwell Permit
Voltage victim in critical condition
New CUP allows for drop-off at RH Road recycling center
Staff report
By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
Persistence paid off for Frank Penwell and Consignment Treasures. After nearly 15 years of wrangling over local land-use regulations, the Roche Harbor Road recycle and resale operation has a new permit and is ready to roll, or, more to the point, ready to build. On Sept. 4, the county hearings examiner issued a decision approving a new conditional-use permit for the property. Frank Penwell is pleased, but his neighbor Mark Larsen isn’t. “He just wanted to wipe the slate clean, be forgiven, and then go back and continue to operate the way he has in the past,” said Larsen. “I’m not bitter or angry about it, just disappointed because nothing will change. My only hope is that he runs the recycling business into the ground.” Another neighbor who opposed Penwell’s operation, Ross McCallum, also attended the hearing. He couldn’t be reached for comment about the latest developments. In 2012, the San Juan County Council amended the development code with a footnote that

Monument in spotlight BLM to host ‘listening sessions’; seeks input, ideas on monument By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
In the words of Marcia de Chadenedes, acting director of San Juan Islands National Monument, the process of developing a plan for newly created monument promises to be “lengthy,” even ponderous perhaps. Maybe that’s to be expected when one takes into account that it consists of roughly 1,100 acres of non-contiguous land scattered throughout an archipelago of islands, and that those lands either together or individually are home to an assortment of historic, cultural and recreational sites, as well as a great deal of pristine natural habitat, or take into consideration that the Bureau of Land Management, entrusted now with creating a plan for one of the nation’s newest monuments,
has developed a regimen for management of monument like the one in the San Juans only once before. The California Coastal National Monument spans 1,100 miles, from Mexico to Oregon, and consists largely of islands, rocks, reefs and beaches. It just happens de Chadenedes worked on development of its management plan for threeplus years. Challenges notwithstanding, the BLM will take its first steps in creating a plan for the San Juan Islands National Monument by hosting a series of public meetings: Thursday on Orcas, 6-8 p.m., at the senior center: Friday on Lopez, 6-8 p.m., at Woodmen Hall; and Friday on San Juan, 10 a.m to noon, at the Grange Hall. De Chadenedes describes the meetings as “listening sessions”, wherein islanders, supporters as well as critics, can weigh in and have what they like to see happen with the monument included in the public record. “It’s everybody’s monument,” she says.

‘Super Heroes’ help Park & Rec shine In its first full year of operation, Island Rec's booster club, Families and Neighbors Support, contributed a total of $8,200 to help offset the cost of the park and recreation district programs. The funds, which include $6,300 for Island Rec's "Free Movies in the Park" series, provided additional funding for the popular "Music on the Lawn" free summer concert series and subsidies for swim lessons for 40 children. Island Rec recognized FANS contributions by presenting the group with bright yellow, rain repellent capes at the showing of "The Incredibles," the second film in the September series of Movies in the Park. “They are truly super heroes to Island Rec and this community for funding Movies in the Park” said Island Rec Director Sally Thomsen. “Although I was unable to make capes for all FAN Club members they too are Super Heroes.” The Incredibles the second movie in the Movies in the Park series was the ideal opportunity to recognize the FANS board as “they are truly super

With the fire danger beginning to wane and the return of sustained rainfall and precipitation, San Juan County’s fire services are preparing to change the fire risk from “Moderate” 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 10 feet in diameter; the 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. 1st, burn permits may be obtained in person from the fire districts on Orcas, San Juan, Lopez and Shaw Islands. Permits will also be available on line at the San Juan County Fire Marshal’s Web site: www. sjcfiremarshal.org. The San Juan County Fire Marshal’s Office is a cooperative effort of the fire districts on Orcas, San Juan, Lopez and Shaw Islands, along with San Juan County.

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,” Crawford said. According to the staff of the WSU Plant and Insect Diagnostic Laboratory staff spiders, due to their predacious nature, are beneficial; they 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 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. 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.
Skipper, 2nd mate of Hyak placed on administrative duty Washington State Ferries removed the captain and the 2nd mate from duty onboard the Hyak and placed the two on administrative assignment in the wake of the vessel's collision with a sailboat two weeks ago in Upright Channel. The state ferry system convened a board of inquiry to investigate the collision the afternoon of the crash. WSF spokeswoman Marta Coursey said placement of the two employees on administrative assignment is routine procedure as part of such an investigation.

ew residents seem to be appearing on the island every day. They are found in windowsills, porches, hanging off plants and in nooks and crannies. “Spiderwebs are everywhere in my yard,” Orcas resident Nicole Cline said. The species islanders are watching crop up are known as European cross spiders. 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 visibility 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 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. Crawford is clearly prepared for a range of arachnid-oriented questions from the funny to the bizarre. His FAQ page is full of topics from 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 this time of year, spiders come indoors in the

The sailboat's lone occupant, a man in his mid60s, was transported to San Juan Island's Peace Island Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries shortly after the collision. The heavily damaged sailboat was towed from the crash scene by a boat provided by state Fish and Wildlife, but it later sank,

Permit: Continued from page 1 permitted Consignment Treasures, as an existing recycling center, to file an application for a new conditional use permit that allowed the public to drop off recycling materials at the CT facility on Roche Harbor Road. “It’s not an ending, it’s a beginning,” said Penwell, who moved to San Juan Island almost 40 years ago and obtained his first permits for the six-acre property in 1978, for a commercial driveway and the first of four buildings he’s built on the property. Penwell became involved in community recycling as a Lion’s Club member, then formed a non-profit company in 2004 to sponsor a thrift and reuse store and recycling operation at the Roche Harbor Road property. The non-profit has been granted 501(c)(3) charitable status, retroactive to

Penwell says he expects only a “small increase” in the number of people using the facility. He estimates that maybe a hundred people a week stop by to shop for used goods of all kinds. “Now they can drop off recycling, too,” he said. “I was ready to give up, but the community and the CT board encouraged me to continue,” he said. “The needs of the community overtook my original expectations, and the results are even better than I envisioned when I started.”

2011, according to Penwell. Penwell says that over $150,000 in local community contributions have been made, including scholarships and contributions of goods and money to numerous local community groups. He pointed to passage of the growth management act in the 1990’s and “continual changes in land use regulations” as the source of many problems for Consignment Treasures. He also says mistakes by county staff and the intrusion of politics into the process cost the non-profit “15 to 20 thousand dollars in fees and related costs, and added lots of unnecessary aggravation.” “We’ve applied for permits for everything we’ve done,” said Penwell. “You have to follow the rules, and I did.” In addition to permitting recycling drop-offs, the new conditional-use permit allows Consignment Treasures to build a new sorting building and shed-roof additions to accommodate recycling drop-off and storage. A building formerly used for storage can now be used as retail space. Penwell says that the CT Recycling unit will now be able to expand its recycling and reuse activities and “serve San Juan Islanders in a more efficient manner.” The hearing examiner included several conditions in his decision. CT must complete a landscaping and lighting plan, a noise mitigation plan, and a written plan to protect the aquifer recharge area. It must also agree to fire protection requirements suggested by the fire marshal, and allow site inspections by county staff. The county staff recommended against issuance of the new CUP. County Councilman Bob Jarman, a supporter of Penwell who organized a community meeting supporting Penwell and Consignment Treasures before his election, was pleased with the CUP decision. “I’m excited about what’s happening

Gamble by board puts co-op at risk
Two little known facts about OPALCO’s “Broadband Vision”: 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 develop-

Fall delights Beyond the Neslund murder trial
J
ust because the tourists, the whales and the snowbirds take off, you don’t have to go into hibernation for the next six months. In fact, the cultural and entertainment scene of autumn will keep you engaged, entertained and off the couch between now and Christmas. As promoter of first resort for the islands’ cultural life, this paper suggests for your consideration a plethora of happenings that will banish boredom and put you on course for a fall to remember. The Great Island Grown Festival is coming into its own in its fourth season, with events on all islands to please the palate. Check out islandgrown.net for the full schedule. And Savor the San Juans celebrates the bounty of the summer harvest throughout the islands The Friday Harbor Film Festival will present 25 Pacific Rim-themed documentaries, Oct. 11-13. Check out the list at fhff.org - some will make you cry, some will make you think, some are just plain fun. The fall and winter lineup at the San Juan Community Theatre is big-city worthy, from 10 Met Operas in HD to National Theatre Live productions of Othello, Macbeth and Coriolanus (and Frankenstein). And there’s more - a lot more - on all the islands at all the venues. It’s taken a generation of time and talent to provide you, your children and your guests with events and productions like these. Make the most of it.

Feisty to a fault, Betsy Roberts lived life with flair, and on her own terms
O
By Steve Wehrly
n a rainy Sunday afternoon, about a month before she died, Betsy Roberts trudged along West Side Road, moving purposefully “to see a friend” she told me, as she accepted an offer of a ride northbound toward Roche Harbor. She was wary until I told her I was a reporter with the Journal of the San Juan Islands, then she talked almost non-stop for the half-hour ride. “You might be interested that I was the foreman on the Ruth Neslund trial,” she said, starting a quick-paced monologue that had me wishing I had my voice Steve Wehrly recorder with me. Interlaced with comments about her 30 years living on San Juan Island, a place she said she dearly loved, she admitted her jury service was an important episode of her life, but she wanted me to know there was more to her than that trial. She told me she read, and wrote, “a lot.” I asked what she read; she said, “Mostly history, especially medieval history, which I studied in college and love.” She was also a fan of Winston Churchill, she said, and named a restaurant in Friday Harbor “Winston’s”. Without being asked, she said, “Ruth Neslund did it, but I felt for her.” Roberts was quoted in Ann Rule’s book saying, “It was not a decision we wanted to come up with. But the evidence was too much. It was a difficult case for all of us.” We had driven along West Side Road, Mitchell Bay Road and West Valley Road to the Roche Harbor Road corner. She abruptly said, “Let me out here; this is close enough.” I said I wanted to talk more about the Neslund trial; she pulled her business card (“Betsy Roberts, Certified Residential Appraiser”) out of her bag and said, “Call me; I’ll talk more.” When I tried the number a few weeks later, the phone had been disconnected. She had died. Talking to her friends and her only child, Oren Wool, I learned that there was indeed much more about Betsy Roberts than her participation on the Neslund trial. “It was a wild ride with her, she attracted people to her,” said her son, who is Executive Director of the Sustainable Enterprise Conference in Santa Rosa, Calif. Betsy was born Elizabeth Ann Roberts in California in 1943, graduated from Glendale High School, and attended UC Berkeley in the ’60s - until she was expelled for participating in the demonstrations and campus occupation of Sproul Hall, led by Mario Savio, Joan Baez and others. She’s survived by two sisters, one brother and two former husbands. She considered herself part of the Jack Kerouak/Allen Ginsberg “beat generation” – but she liked the University of Alabama, from which she graduated with a degree in history in 1978. And she liked clothes (“always looked great,” said a friend), traveling (she was a TWA stewardess and ticket agent who used her travel bonus extensively) and Jerry Garcia. In 1980, she came to Friday Harbor with her then-husband Dale Blackburn. She designed the house on Bailer Hill Road that she lived in for the rest of her life. She was active in the Animal Protection Society, the theatre, the library and the Democratic Party.
Greg Canova, brought in from the Attorney General’s office to prosecute Ruth Neslund for first-degree murder, remembers Roberts and the trial. “It was the hardest case I ever tried,” said Canova, now a superior court judge in King County. “Presiding juror requires multiple personal and analytical skills, and patience. She did an exceptional job and kept all jurors fully involved, and brought in a verdict in less than a week.” Charlie Silverman, San Juan County Deputy Criminal Prosecutor, who was co-prosecutor in the Neslund trial, said he knew Betsy more from working with her on the local Democratic steering committee. “She was progressive, feisty and had good ideas,” Silverman said. “Against the Iraq war and the first person I knew who said something was wrong with the housing market. About 2004 or 2005, she told me and the local Democrats that no-down, variable rate mortgages and the inflated housing market were going to get ordinary people into trouble. She was right, as we have seen.” Jeanne Barnes (now Leone) served on the Neslund jury with Roberts. “She did a very good job, kept the discussion on the subject and would smooth things over when people started to get unhappy. She was capable and even-handed and intelligent. None of the jurors had any complaints about her.” Leone’s sister in law, Andrea Bogen, met “Bets” soon after

Betsy Roberts, presiding juror in the Ruth Neslund trial, San Juan County’s most infamous murder case, died this summer.
Roberts arrived in Friday Harbor in 1980. “An admirable, amazing woman,” said Bogen, “we loved her a lot. She just knew how to do everything right, though sometimes she could be difficult, even hard to like, especially the last few years. What an entertainer. She gave great parties, cooked wonderful dinners. “Her Christmas decorations and her gardening were always outstanding—when I first went in the early 80s she actually had real candles on the tree. She was a good friend, active with the library, animal rescue, and helped in the garden at the Mullis Center. She actually gave tea parties—with hats. And she was a fan of Jerry Garcia, whom she said she had met.” If Betsy Roberts had a theme song, it might have been Edith Piaf ’s “No Regrets”, which was also the title of Anne Rule’s book about the trial. She was the kind of person you wish you had known better, and earlier.

Ron Meng: 1954—2013
N.W. marine industry veteran passes
Ron 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, developed a full-service marina and shifted their emphasis to recreational boaters as the commercial fishing industry waned. Ron was 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 No. 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 See Meng, Page 9
Theodore Vern Coffelt: March 20, 1930 —Sept. 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 fulltime 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, at the Mullis Center in 1960, went to work full-time for This event is graciously funded by Orcas Power and Light Cooperative. the Women’s Group of the San Juan In the early '60s, he married Florence

Wolverines prevail in lopsided win FH scores early, often, tallies second straight Island Cup shutout; 69-0
By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
The Wolverines scored early, often and with ease in a 69-0 runaway win over Orcas Saturday, Sept. 21, in the 23rd annual meeting between the two inter-island gridiron rivals. On Friday Harbor’ first play from scrimmage, senior tailback Nate Steenkolk bulled through the Vikings defensive line and rambled 55 yards for a touchdown, and the rout was on. The Wolverines had a 27-0 advantage and the game well in hand by the start of the second quarter of play, tallying four touchdowns in their first nine plays.

With the victory, the Wolverines posted their secondstraight Island Cup shutout, following last season’s 41-0 win a year ago in Friday Harbor. But the degree of difficulty is expected to climb considerably when the Wolverines face local rival La Conner at home this Friday. The Braves (3-0), the state’s 2B Division runner up a year ago, have nearly their entire starting lineup back from a year ago, Friday Harbor Head Coach Richard Ledford said. “We’ve got to make sure we’ve got the right things in focus and not just be resting on what we did this last Saturday,” Ledford said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do to be prepared for them.” Against Orcas, however, the Wolverines encountered little resistance from an outmatched and inexperienced Vikings squad, which lost starting quarterback Demitri Pence to a wrist injury shortly before the half. On the Wolverines second possession, running back Willie Blackmon scored on a 37-yard TD run and safety Amer Melic tallied the team's third touchdown of the opening quarter after picking off a pass and returning it 94 yards into the end zone. Blackmon had two touchdowns and 134 yards on only four carries. Melic scored twice as well, following up the “pick-six” with an 82-yard kickoff return to start the second half. Friday Harbor led 41-0 at the half, and 62-0 midway through the third quarter, and let the second string take over from that point on in what proved to be the highest scoring total by either team since the Wolverines and Vikings first began head-to-head competition on the gridiron in 1973. Next Friday Harbor (2-1) will face Division 2B rival La Conner, at home, Friday, Sept. 27; kick off is 7 p.m. The Wolverines host Division 1A regional rival Meridian the following week, Friday, Oct. 4, kick off is 7 p.m.

A dozen Spanish-speaking San Juan Island children learned more about the national park in their backyard and about national parks nationwide thanks to a $15,000 grant from the National Park Foundation and a partnership with San Juan Island Library. San Juan Island National Historical Park received a 2013 "America’s Best Idea" grant from the National Park Foundation, the official charity of America’s national parks. Inspired by the Ken Burns’ documentary “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea,” the America’s Best Idea program funds park activities designed to connect diverse populations throughout the United States with their national parks. The park is using a portion of the funds for a pilot program in partnership with the library to reach out to
Spanish-speaking audiences on the island. The first program kicked off Thursday, Sept. 5 and will continue to be offered in conjunction with the library’s English as a Second Language program, 6:30 to 7: 15 p.m., Thursday evenings through Oct. 3.

‘Granny’s Clan’ nets trio of book awards Now, what could be better than having your book win a prestigious, national literary award? Well, how about three? That's the number of awards recently bestowed upon “Granny’s Clan: A Tale of Wild Orcas,” a nonfiction children’s picture book about the Southern resident orcas that live in the Salish Sea.

Published in September, 2013, by Dawn Publications, Granny’s Clan takes young readers on a real-life adventure with two young orcas and Granny, the clan’s 100-year-old matriarch as they welcome a new baby, “see” with sound, hunt for salmon, play, face dangers and encounter humans.

f 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-long 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, reservations requirements and other details. On Orcas, renowned chefs Christina Orchid and Madden Surbaugh are producing gourmet feasts at Red Rabbit Farm (Oct. 6) and the New Leaf Cafe (Oct. 12), respectively. Orchid’s “Going Whole Hog” will be an all-day event starting at 10 a.m., featuring instruction on butchering, roasting and preserving pork. There will also be an allday Farm Olympics, with contests such as hay bale lifting and milk pail carrying. Proceeds benefit the Orcas School Farm to Cafeteria Program. Surbaugh’s gourmet Island Harvest Pop-up Dinner at 6 p.m. 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 &
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 Brickworks; a Bike & 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 islands 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-andholler 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. Thirteen days that may not change the world, but you can learn a lot about the local agriculture scene, you’ll meet many interesting and enthusiastic farmers, and you can feast like you’ve never feasted before. If the islandgrown.net website doesn’t answer all your question, call Peggy Bill of the Agricultural Resources Committee at 360378-6621, or Boyd Pratt at Island Grown, 360-370-7666.

Love,betrayal,jealousy,onscreen National Theatre Live’s production of ‘Othello’ featured in SJCT’s HD-live series William Shakespeare’s classic tale of love, jealousy and betrayal will come to life on the silver screen, and in highdefinition, in the next installment of San Juan Community Theatre’s newly launched “HD-live” program, Monday, Sept. 30, at 7 p.m. In National Theatre Live’s presentation of Shakespeare’s “Othello”, streamed via satellite to the Community Theatre HD screen, Olivier Award-winning actor Adrian Lester (Henry V at the National Theatre, BBC’s Hustle) takes on the title role in the famous play about the destructive power of jealousy. Othello, newly married to Desdemona—who is half his age—is appointed leader of a major military operation. Iago, passed over for promotion by Othello in favor of the young
Cassio, persuades Othello that Cassio and Desdemona are having an affair. And disastrous results ensue. Playing opposite Lester as the duplicitous Iago is fellow Olivier Award winner Rory Kinnear (The Last of the Haussmans, James Bond: Skyfall), who is reunited with director Nicholas Hytner (Timon of Athens, One Man, Two Guvnors) on the heels of their acclaimed collaboration on the National Theatre’s recent production of Hamlet. Tickets are $20 adults, $18 for SJCT members, $10 student reserved; available at SJCT box office, or online, www. sjctheatre.org. Recorded live in London, Othello will be rebroadcast via SJCT’s new satellite, projection and sound systems, made possible through a generous bequest from the late Dodie Gann. In addition to National Theatre Live presentations, the community theatre will also present the 2013-2014 season of The MET: Live in HD, starting Oct. 6 with Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin. Visit www.sjctheatre.org for a schedule of the HD-live events.
Hottest ticket in town: Jefferson Island playwright Don Pollard escorts his audience into the study of the third President of the United States for a close-up chat that takes us from his efforts to expand the West; to the end of his life and his tumultuous relationship with John Adams; to present day and Jefferson’s take on how the Founding Fathers’ plans have fared. A collaboration between San Juan Community Theatre and Island Stage Left, Pollard’s “From This Desk: A Reflection on Thomas Jefferson in Three Acts,” is directed by Stage Left’s Helen Machin-Smith and

Oompah-pah? Sounds like Oktoberfest Best of ‘Island Style’ Bavaria on hand at 19th almost-annual celebration, Oct. 5
! WARNING Excessive exposure to the The Journal has been linked to increased community engagement and overall personal awesomeness.
The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com
It’s not everyday that you get to ooh-and-ah at the spectacle of men in lederhosen, or women donned in dirndl skirts, is it? In fact, the opportunity comes around just once a year (at least, as far as we know). San Juan Island will be outfitted up to its Bavarian best in celebration of the 19th almost-annual Oktoberfest, Saturday, Oct. 5, at the fairgrounds in Friday Harbor. The almost-annual event will feature just about everything one might expect at any traditional Oktoberfest extravaganza, like Bavarian style food and drinks… and beer, naturally… funny hats, a Blakapelle oompah orchestra
led by event found Tom Starr—complete with accordions and tubas— plenty of polkas, with professional instructors to lend a hand, a series of sing-alongs, crafts for the kids, and a costume contest as well. Perhaps there may even be a Chicken Dance or two. Sponsored by San Juan Island Chamber of Commerce, Oktoberfest is a charitable event, with proceeds benefitting the various charities supported by the local Lions, Rotary and Soroptimists clubs. Collectible Oktoberfest steins, commemorating the 19th annual event, will be available for purchase. The festivities begin at 5 p.m. and oompah-pah, oompah-pahs all the way until 10 p.m. For more info, contact the chamber, 378-5240, or the event Facebook page: SJI Oktoberfest.
Around Town In focus: the fine art of taking art photos revealed
For any artist, making the most out of visual representation of your art can mean a lot. But how does one capture just the right image, organize those you have, and best prepare them for distribution — file size, prints, copyrights, output — to shows, editors, publicists and for whatever opportunity might come along? Renowned local photographer Mark Gardner surely has the answer.
Learn the ins and out of photographing your art as part of a full-day workshop entitled, “Photographing Your Art”, Sept. 28, at Orcas Island Library, 10 am to 6 p.m. Led by Gardner, an island-based professional photographer for nearly two decades, the workshop will feature techniques of clarity, color, dimension, and focus on the use of images in marketing, such as brochures, business cards, websites and promotional pieces. Fee is $50. Owner and operator of a fully equipped studio in Friday Harbor, Gardner may best known for his photographs of people for portraits, but he also shoots art and craft, classic and sports cars, architecture and the natural world, and has created a long list of fine-art prints, coffee table books, and digital slide shows, and more. To register, go to www. sjcartscouncil.org; ques-
tions, 360 378-0951. For more on Gardner, visit, www.photographybymarkgardner.com.

A rain garden can prove an effective way to filter and collect storm water from roof tops, driveways, patios and other areas of impervious surface. It can aid in filtering pesticides and fertilizers on lawns, and help reduce flooding on neighboring property. They can also be shaped and sized to fit your yard. For info or to register, 378-6621, or, dyanne@sjislandscd.org.
