Slide guitar KINGRoy Rogers & the Delta Rhythm Kings come to Lopez

By Colleen Smith ArmstrongSounder Editor/Publisher

Not long after Roy Rogers picked up a guitar at age 12, he was playing with the high schoolers. A few years later, when his older broth-er brought home Robert Johnson’s “King of the Delta Blues Singers” album, his whole life changed.

“It blew my mind,” Roger said. “I heard slide guitar for the first time.”

Ever since then, he has been a disciple of Johnson. Rogers will make his first appearance at Lopez Center this summer. He is one of the premier slide guitar-ists performing today, well

By Steve WehrlyJournal reporter

The San Juan Islands and surrounding waterways should be included as part of the official study of environ-mental impacts from the pro-posed Gateway Pacific coal terminal in Whatcom County, according to the San Juan County Council

On June 26, the coun-ty council unanimously approved sending a let-ter to Brigadier Gen. John McMahon, commander of the Northwestern Division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, requesting that an area-wide environmental impact statement be conduct-ed that would “address the cumulative impacts of new coal terminals in the Pacific Northwest, including the

Gateway Pacific Terminal.” A n A r e a - w i d e

Environmental Impact Statement would include the San Juan Islands and might extend through the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the ocean.

Drafted by Councilwoman Lovel Pratt, the letter states: “The AEIS should include a comprehensive analysis of impacts to water quality, air quality, listed species, critical habitat, and aquatic resourc-es, and well as impacts to public health and the local economy.”

The letter is a follow-up to a Feb. 28 letter sent to the Army Corps, the state Department of Ecology and Whatcom County asking that scoping meetings for the EIS be held in San Juan County. The locations and dates for the scoping meetings, which

will include a determination whether an area-wide EIS will be required by the Corps, have yet to be announced.

SSA Marine submitted a permit application in March to build a coal export facility capable of exporting 48 mil-lion tons per year, according to Climate Solutions, a non-profit organization based in Olympia, Wash.

Opponents of the terminal say the increase in rail traffic would impact health and safe-ty and pose economic risks to communities across the region, and that coal export could fuel climate change and add to global mercury pollution.

Proponents of the terminal say it will provide jobs in a county where there is not a lot of room for industrial growth.

Council calls for review of proposed coal terminal

Hike around Cranberry Lake in Anacortes

Join the Lopez Community Trails Network, Saturday,

July 21 for a three-mile hike around Cranberry Lake in the Anacortes Community Forest. Walkers will experi-ence this jewel of a lake not known by many from the San Juans, yet is under two miles from the Anacortes ferry terminal. This serene little lake has only one road access with trails galore. We will cir-cumnavigate the lake with a

ridge trail climb of about 100 feet in elevation. There is an optional second loop south-east of the lake with views of Big Beaver Pond with its extensive spread of lily pads. There are short sections of steep trail, but they are in good condition. All are wel-

come that enjoy a leisurely pace and like making new friends.

Those from Lopez Island will take the 10:45 a.m. ferry and return from Anacortes on the 5:10 p.m. sailing. We will van pool from the Anacortes terminal to the trailhead. A $5 fee is expected to cover trans-portation expenses. Sign up by calling or emailing Bob Walker at 468-3397 or [email protected].

Blackberry Bushes to perform at Woodmen Hall

On Fri. July 27, 7:30 p.m., the Blackberry Bushes will perform at Woodmen Hall.

The Blackberry Bushes hail from the rain-drenched for-ests of Olympia, Wash. They take a bluegrass instrumen-tation, draw from the deep roots of American folk music and add influences from blue-grass, Appalachian old-time, and Indie Rock, to jazz, pop and alternative country.

Tickets are $15 adults, kids free 12 and under, 12-16 - $8.

“Their blend of tradition-al Bluegrass and Folk ele-ments with more contempo-rary sounds has an appeal not seen since Nickel Creek or The Be Good Tanyas,” according to Joseph Kyle of “The Big Takeover.”

CorrectionIn the July 3 edition of the paper a portion of the “solid

waste” story was cut off, it should have read, “According to Larry Eppenbach, district secretary, the district’s advi-sory board nominees told the council that failure is not an option.” This quote is in regards to the Lopez Island’s drop box and self-haul facility being operated by a local Solid Waste Disposal District.

OPALCO staff say Broadband Initiative is progressing

As Orcas Power and Light Cooperative’s Board of Directors continue to study the feasibility of the Broadband Initiative, improv-ing high-speed Internet and other communication ser-vices, staff said progress is being made. There have been developments on three major contingencies, which the board has to address before voting on the proj-ect: revision of the coun-ty’s Wireless Ordinance, completion of feasibility

studies and acquisition of a Federal Communications Commission licensed frequency.

Wireless OrdinanceLast week, the county

council passed a revised Wireless Ordinance defin-ing Joint-Use Wireless Facilities. These are facili-ties that can provide support for multiple public services on one utility pole, includ-ing electrical power man-agement and public safety radio communications, according to OPALCO. The broadband component of these systems could be used to provide true high-speed internet service countywide, and could improve cell phone cover-age if the cellular providers agree to use these facilities. OPALCO said the adoption of the Wireless Ordinance

was accomplished through a thorough public process that included public testi-mony, legal review and many thoughtful hours of council member time and attention.

Completion of feasibil-ity studies

Initial technical studies are complete and OPALCO staff members will be field-testing potential equipment and pole locations as they refine the system design. “We are working with industry experts to develop potential business models for board consideration – and the numbers continue to be the most challenging aspect of the project,” said OPALCO staff. “The board is committed to finding a solution that makes sense for the co-op model and for the membership.”

FCC licensed frequencyMeetings to discuss

the acquisition of a FCC licensed frequency have been positive, according to OPALCO and OPALCO is hopeful that an agreement could be reached in the next few months. Much of the system design (includ-ing actual coverage, capac-ity, number of poles and pole locations) is depen-dent on the frequency that would be deployed. Once an agreement is reached for a specific frequency range, a final system design can be developed.

Public forums held on four islands in May were well attended and have started a public dialogue on the project. There has been positive and nega-tive feedback from mem-bers about the Broadband

Initiative, and the board is also considering concerns that have been raised about the potential cost burden to members, their issues with RF emissions and the poten-tial role of the co-op as an Internet service provider. All feedback is being care-fully reviewed as the board moves toward a decision, said OPALC0 staff.

Undersheriff bids adieu after 24 years

After 44 years in law enforcement, Jon Zerby looks forward to a bit of down time at home.

“Future plans?” Zerby replies when asked what’s next. “None really. I’ll prob-ably spend some time work-ing on the house. There’s a

lot to do there.”Colleagues, friends and a

parade of public officials bid Zerby farewell June 29 at a retirement celebration at the Mullis Street fire station.

From Santa Barbara to Atlanta, to Salem, Ore., Zerby traveled far and wide in more than four decades as a law enforcement offi-cial. He was stationed at Fort Lewis 24 years ago, assigned to the military police, when former sheriff Bill Cumming persuaded him to join the local force.

Promoted to undersheriff in 1998, he has been the department’s second-in-command for 14 years, its primary animal control offi-cer the past 13, and played a lead role in helping to craft the “dangerous dogs” laws in effect in both the county and in Friday Harbor.

Top five reads for the summer

By Cali BagbyThe raindrops fall on your

roof and down onto the pave-ment as if the clouds are wringing out a giant sponge. The mornings and after-noons meld together with the same melancholy gray.

Weather experts say that temperatures should rise by mid-July, but for days when the sun is surrounded by gloom, here are a few reads from island experts to give you a vacation from the dreary days.

And even when the sun comes out, these books give you an even better excuse to lounge and catch some vitamin D rays.

“Gertrude Bell: Queen of the Desert, Shaper of Nations,” by Georgina Howell tells the story of an adventurous and strong

spirited woman, whose work in the Middle East has been often overshadowed by the famous Lawrence of Arabia. But it was Gertrude who broke not only gen-der and class barriers, but also played a vital role in the formation of Iraq – all while enduring the swelter-ing heat.

“Jaguar: One Man’s Struggle To Establish The World’s First Jaguar Preserve,” by Alan Rabinowitz takes readers into the rain forest of Belize and gives you a rare and exhila-rating story written by a boy that could only speak to ani-mals, who later becomes the jaguar’s biggest champion.

“Swimming to Antarctica: Tales of a Long-distance Swimmer,” by Lynne Cox. If you think it

has been cold this summer on the island, Lynne Cox describes the painstaking training it took her to sub-merge into ice cold waters. She also shares tales of get-ting her hand stuck in a dead dog in the Nile and being the first person to swim the shark-infested waters of the Cape of Good Hope.

“Let’s Take the Long Way Home,” by Gail Caldwell follows two writers who love water and dogs. They forge a friendship and struggle with universals subjects such as needing someone and the grief of losing that person, which the author refers to as the “terrible gift of death.” Half of the book will have you smiling, while the other half will leave you in tears.

“War,” by Sebastian

Junger. What better way to endure a cold summer than to read about one of the most horrific places in Afghanistan: the Korengal Valley in 2008. Junger, author of “The Perfect Storm,” delves into the life of American soldiers in the unbearable heat and fatal days of combat.

Western Washington University student Roben Lauren Herrick received a $1,000 WWU Associated Students Childcare Voucher Award for the 2012-2013 academic year.

The WWU Associated Students Childcare Voucher Award is awarded to stu-dent-parents who have attended Western for the entire 2011-2012 aca-demic year and have been

enrolled for a minimum of nine undergraduate credits or six graduate credits per quarter. Students must also be in good academic stand-ing.

Herrick, mother of three children, is a graduate of Lopez Island High School. She is a junior major-ing in Law Diversity and Social Justice in Western’s Fairhaven College of Interdisciplinary Studies.

Local earns WWU award

known for his live per-formances and John Lee Hooker’s Coast to Coast Blues Band. Rogers and his band The Delta Rhythm Kings will perform July 15, 7:30 p.m. at Lopez Center for Community and the Arts.

Tickets in advance are $18 for adults, $10 for youth and are at the center’s office, and at www.lopezcenter.org, Paper Scissors on the Rock, Blossoms Organic Grocery and Lopez Book Store. Tickets at door are adult $18 and youth $10.

“We’re really spontane-ous,” he said. “Having a power trio, the music takes a lot of twists and turns. I always tell people to bring their dancing shoes.”

Rogers, who lives in California, says the music is

blues-based but also covers jazz and funk. Their reper-toire is split between origi-nals and covers. He has per-formed at numerous music festivals throughout the world, including Montreal Jazz, Norway’s Notodden Blues Festival and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Prior to coming to Lopez, Rogers is opening up for Steve Miller.

In May of 2011, he released a collaboration with The Doors keyboard-ist Ray Manzarek enti-tled “Translucent Blues” available on Blind Pig Records. It debuted at #6 on the Billboard charts, and reached #1 on the American Roots Rock Chart.

Rolling Stone has written, “Rogers is an exceptionally articulate slide guitarist, either he’s scorching Robert Johnson’s ‘Ramblin’ Blues’ or taking a lovely, lyrical journey … or rockin’ it out. One of the rare guitar

heroes who values feeling over flash.”

Slide guitar is tuned to an open chord, allowing the musician to play the melo-dy, base and rhythm all at the same time.

“I have established a style that I am known for,” Rogers said. “You have to hear to appreciate it – I can’t describe it.”

While he enjoys current music – Norah Jones is one of his favorites – Rogers says he is a “classics” guy, who is most inspired by such musicians as Hooker, Johnson, Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley and Little Richard.

“John Lee Hooker could walk on stage, sit in his chair, play one note and the audi-ence was with him. That is powerful stuff,” Rogers said.

Sailboat slip-up

Eleven years ago, Casey Kelbaugh decided to com-bine of two of his interests, food and art. His first exper-iment of what is now known as a “Slideluck Potshow,” a play off the words slide show and potluck, was held in his tiny Seattle back-yard with about 50 friends. Surrounded by talented artists, Kelbaugh said the event “brought artists out of their studios into a common space and allowed for cre-ative expression and cross-pollination.”

By 2006, Slideluck Potshows drew upwards of 1,000 people and requests to host an event were coming in from all around the world.

Slideluck Potshow is now a nonprofit operating multi-media slideshows combined with potluck dinners in about fifty cities around the world.

And it is coming to Lopez, Sunday, Sept. 2 at the Lopez Center for Community and the Arts, with the potluck at 6 p.m. and the slideshow at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door.

The submission deadline for art is August 1. For submis-sion details visit slideluckpot-show.com/submissions/46-submissions/3695-submis-sion-guide-lopez-island%29.

The San Juan County Economic Development Council is slated to receive a portion of a $49,378 job training grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, according to an announce-ment from U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen’s office, confirmed by EDC Director Victoria Compton.

The grant, combined with $110,612 in local fund-ing, will provide start-up funding for a Tri-County Rural Business Education Network and help to pay for job training in supply chain management and marine

technical training and cer-tification in Island, San Juan and Skagit counties. Much of the training will be at Skagit Valley College.

Of the total, $14,788 will be used to train San Juan County residents in diesel technology and fiberglass

manufacturing, Compton said. The fund is expect-ed to provide educational scholarships for eight quali-fied adults.

“It’s exciting,” Compton said. “Shipyards are des-perate to find people and they generally can get a

job as soon as the training is completed.”

The EDC is accepting applications for the marine technical training scholar-ships; deadline is July 20. For more information, or to apply visit,www.san-juansedc.org/marine.htm.

LOPEZ ISLAND BUSINESSCOMMUNITY

At Orcas Power and Light Cooperative’s 75th Anniversary Open House at the Lopez OPALCO Crew Station, Wednesday, July 18, members will be presented with gifts, treated to refresh-ments, enjoy live music by Hawk Arps and be entertained with stories told by some of the co-op’s longest-standing members. This historic event begins at 1 p.m., with tours of the OPALCO headquarters and a display of Steve Horn’s photos of OPALCO submarine cable lay projects. The story-telling begins at 2 p.m. from OPALCO’s mobile 1937 living room set.

The year-long 75th anniver-sary celebration honors the co-op family members (lon-gest- standing members, past and present staff and board members) who have helped build the strong, reliable elec-tric co-op that we all enjoy today, said OPALCO staff. Limited edition gifts such as canvas tote bags and wall thermometers featuring the work of Orcas artist Frank Loudin, lapel pins, mugs and copies of the 75th Anniversary

Historical Publication will be distributed to all members, while supplies last.

For the full 75th anni-versary experience, visit OPALCO’s historical website at www.opalco.com/history to explore a historical timeline, galleries of stories, photos and videos. Visit and “like” OPALCO’s new Facebook page, where you can share your own OPALCO story, pho-tos or memorabilia. The next stop for the 75th Anniversary celebration and story-telling booth will be the county fair in August. Let us know if you have a story to tell. OPALCO will continue to collect mem-ber stories and publish them on the historical website to become part of OPALCO’s liv-ing legacy.

OPALCO is the cooperative electrical utility serving more than 11,000 co-op member-own-ers on 20 islands in San Juan County. It provides electricity that is 95 percent greenhouse-gas free and is predominately generated by hydro-electric plants. OPALCO was founded in 1937 to bring electricity to our rural islands.

!OPALCO 75th

Anniversary Open House New Forge will make a debut visit to Lopez Island for a performance at the Galley on Saturday, July 14 at 9 p.m. New Forge is an innovative acoustic/electric group, melding forms of new and roots music with man-dolin, guitar, bass and drums to create infectious dance sets comprised of barreling bluegrass improvisations, funk and rock grooves and modern acoustic composi-tions. Founded in the farms and clubs of the Olympic Peninsula, New Forge honed its sound in Seattle and surrounding areas.

New Forge shows are front-loaded with the songwrit-ing of founder Matt Sircely of Port Townsend,Wash., whose work as a traditional and improvisational man-dolinist, recently appeared on the cover of “Mandolin Magazine.” Sircely has performed with many of his mentors – from David Grisman to David Bromberg, and is working on a solo recording under the production of banjo legend Danny Barnes.

Drummer Joseph Mascorella grew up at Alaskan bluegrass festivals before joining touring bands and play-ing central roles in several films. Mascorella is also an accomplished composer, vocalist and improvisor. Zeke Wakefield, one of the most naturally talented musicians to emerge from the Olympic Peninsula in a generation, has been playing bass since the inception of New Forge before recently moving to guitar, his primary instru-ment. On bass will be Shelton’s Martin Strand, a recent top-notch graduate from Cornish College of the Arts. Fiddler Jon Parry will be touring in Alaska during this performance.

“We play dance music, but it’s also song-oriented,” Sircely said.

On any given night, New Forge might reference some of the earliest recorded music, a progressive bluegrass band from the ‘70s, low-down funk, classic or remixed reggae, Chicago or Delta blues, fiddle tunes, early coun-try or western swing.

“We don’t just blend our favorite styles into one big cauldron,” Sircely said. “We dig deeply into every style we approach. We love touching on many music forms, giving the audience the experience of distinctly hearing many of their favorite styles in one performance – and hopefully introducing folks to something new. To be hon-est, because we’re primarily an improvisational group, every show is a unique experience for us too.”

The EscapeBy Phoebe Jin Wardle

The ocean hits the shore that sounds like the wind play-ing hide and seek through the trees.

The clouds form together and the heavens open, the icy cold water mirrors the beauty up above.

As the sun sets and as you walk by the forest it feels like a place where you CAN believe in fairies, unicorns, and hobbits.

The orange sun shines through the trees and sets on the dew that sits on the elegant leaves created by Mother Nature, turning them gold.

This it the perfect picture to remember.

But because I didn’t put this scenery into a photo-graph, I put it into words, and look how beautiful they sound.

This is my escape,This is the escape.

– Phoebe was 14 when she wrote this poem. She lives in Shanghai, China with her par-ents and four siblings. Phoebe is the great granddaughter of Bob and Nina Church who have lived on Lopez for many years, and now comes to Lopez almost every summer to visit her grand-parents Don and Mary Church.
