Islands' Weekly, July 22, 2014

By Meredith M. GriffithWeekly contributor

To hear Tari Gunstone tell it, everything began with “The Cheese Nun” of Connecticut, Sister Noella Marcellino.

“She’s a microbiologist, so she really knows her stuff,” says Gunstone, this sum-mer’s “cheese apprentice” at Shaw Island’s Our Lady of the Rock Benedictine mon-astery.

Marcellino shared her expertise with the Shaw monaster y’s Mother Prioress (Mother Thérese), and now islanders can enjoy artisan farmstead cheeses

ripened from the raw milk of the monastery’s two Jersey cows.

The cheeses are regu-larly sold at the monas-tery and the Shaw general store.

Gunstone, a native of Portland, Ore., is a pro-fessional photographer who chose an internship at Our Lady of the Rock as the path to a perfect summer.

“I’ve always considered myself a spiritual seeker,” she said. “There’s some-thing about monasticism that I’m drawn to; the self-denial of consumerism and the pettiness of the outside

world is intriguing to me. I’m trying to make my life more contemplative and inward-focused.”

Gunstone hopes to some-day create a book photo-documenting the monastic life in a wide variety of mon-asteries across the country. And since her family used to summer in the San Juans on her parents’ boat, she knew the islands were a beautiful place to begin.

Based on Gunstone’s interests, the seven “moth-ers” of the monastery assigned her to cheese-making and caring for the monastery’s Cotswold sheep during lambing sea-son. Her fellow intern, Holly Kemp, has been dubbed “The Fiber Queen” due to her interest in working with wool. The mothers also raise Highland cattle, alpacas, llamas, chickens and turkeys.

Gunstone said she’s really enjoyed the mon-astery’s approach to her internship.

“It’s been really amazing to experience the mothers learning to trust me and give me responsibility with the farm work,” she said. “They really allow for a

lot of autonomy with the work.”

She said the lack of micro-management has allowed her to grow and learn through trial and error.

Cheese was once tradi-tionally aged in caves, but the monastery’s cave is too wet for cheese-making. So the mothers use a full-sized wine cooler to maintain a steady 55 degrees. The simple farmstead cheese wheels are made using only “a bit of salt” and vegetable rennet, no mold or added

cultures. “The cheese just takes on

the natural flavors of the milk that day and the molds that ripen on the outside,” said Gunstone. “Each one is different.”

It takes four gallons of milk to create three pounds of aged cheese, and though the cheese is made weekly, it must age 60 days before sale.

Gunstone said she is enjoying her experience of the monastic culture.

“It’s a lifestyle and a com-munity that almost feels like it could go extinct,” she expressed. “I think it’s a draw in my generation to get back to the root of

things [and care] less about the rat race, and I think monastics do that really well.”

“Ultimately,” she added, “my favorite experience is living on Shaw Island – to walk into the woods and be totally alone, or spend an afternoon at the beach totally by myself.” Read more about nuns and cheese

PBS released a documen-tary about Marcellino enti-tled “The Cheese Nun” in 2006. http://www.amazon.com/The-Cheese-Sister-Noel la -Marcel l ino/dp/B000FGG62K.

Zapalac and Lawrence hired by Lopez Solid Waste

The Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District has hired David Zapalac for the posi-tion of facility manager, effec-tive immediately. David had served as transitional site supervisor since April 5. As manager, he will continue his hands-on work during and after business hours, and he will assume increased responsibility to manage the facility operations and staff. David will work 30 hours/week during the summer schedule and 27 hours/week the rest of the year.

The district also hired Gary Lawrence as facility adminis-trator, effective immediately. Gary will be working part time, nine to 10 hours per week, and his duties include all tasks necessary to operate the dump plus other tasks to support the manager, such as purchasing, correspondence, and budget control.

David and Gary join long-standing, hard-working employee Bob Chonka. Together the three employ-ees’ hours add up to the equivalent of 1.5 full-time employees. Having three persons on board gives the

district more flexibility dur-ing its busy months, and helps ensure there will be at least two employees on site in the event of an absence.

The district simultaneous-ly hired Matthew McQueen as community training and education coordinator, a one-year grant-funded posi-tion. Job descriptions for all staff can be seen at lope-zsolidwaste.org, under the LSWDD menu.

David received a degree in geography - resource and environmental studies from Southwest Texas State University. He is an FAA-certified airplane mechanic, and has extensive experi-ence working on all types of machinery. One of his responsibilities is to serve as in-house mechanic for district equipment. David says he is excited to be working at a facility that is seen and respected as a model for reuse and recy-cling, and he is regularly inspired by his interactions with facility patrons.

Gary has been a mainstay volunteer in the recycling area since the district took over in January 2013. Prior to moving to Lopez, Gary spent over 20 years as a chief operating officer at a

software company in Texas. He has volunteered for the Island Oil Spill Association since 2011, and is active in the Mud Bay smelt-fishing community. Gary says he is confident and ready to make a contribution to Lopez’s efforts to reduce, reuse, and recycle solid waste.

The district feels very for-tunate to have such capable people as David and Gary join its staff, and the com-munity is encouraged to stop in to greet them and to offer suggestions, feedback, and support as they start

work in their new positions.Coordinator position

By Karen Alexander, LIHS PresidentSpecial to the Weekly

Ever had the opportunity to dig through an old box of “junk” that someone in your family stashed in the attic –a closet – under the bed – in the garage, only to experi-ence the joy of time travel as you sifted through it? History is empty of “story” unless someone in a family treasures this “stuff of life” and stashes it away for a curious family member to discover.

The Lopez Island Historical Society has been in the business of dig-ging through such trea-sure boxes for 40-some years. With the advent of computers, we now have many thousands of family treasures scanned, photo-graphed, codified, safely stored away or filed in our growing archives. As a result, you can learn a great deal about the people who chose to move to this island and call it “home.”

But, we need your help – we need your family’s

“Lopez arrival story.” OnSaturday, July 26 (11a.m.

– 3 p.m.) LIHS is hosting a community wide old-fash-ioned Lopez Island picnic on the museum grounds. Bring your own picnic lunch, bev-erage, blanket, lawn chair and favorite island and fam-ily stories, we’ll provide the music (thanks to Bill Johnson and friends) and entertainment.

Don’t want to bring your own picnic? Then grab a bite at the Farmers’ Market and mosey on over to the museum to participate in some of our many history related activities – add your name to the Lopez Timeline, listen to interviews and sto-ries, enjoy children’s activi-ties, and sign the new Lopez Island community signature quilt. One entire museum

wall will be dedicated to the timeline. We hope you will add your name and your family’s arrival date – future generations will thank you!

Join us and add your fam-ily story to our archives.

SEE SOLID WASTE, PAGE 6

Be grateful for mil-itary’s protection

I served as a woman Marine during World War II. In the following 10 years I served as a personal assis-tant to several high ranking generals, learning a great deal about our military establishment and what it costs. If those who are objecting to the noise of the Growlers spend a little time on the Internet they will find that training the Growlers is now the major task of NAS Whidbey.

All but one of the Growler squadrons are stationed there and older electronic warfare planes are being converted to Growlers. All the training equipment is stationed there.

The cumulative cost of the planes, the training materials and the support facilities must be at least

several billion dollars. In this day of tight bud-

gets no military person nor any legislator in their right mind would consider the cost of moving it all else-where simply because the noise bothers people living in the San Juan Islands.

Anyone bothered by the noise can make three simple choices:

One, be grateful that in this very unstable world people are being equipped and trained to protect us.

Two, you can buy appro-priate hearing protection.

Three, you can move somewhere else. No one has to live on Lopez.

Perhaps you will be comforted knowing that I’ve lived on Lopez since 1965, the last 24-plus years on the south end shore and my hearing is still good coming up on 90.

Best wishes to all,MARJORIE ROE

Lopez Island

Submitted by Mac Langford, Democratic Precinct Committee Officer for Lopez

Mike Lapointe is an independent from Everett running for congress in the Aug. 5 primary. He will be participating in a meeting on Lopez sponsored by the San Juan County Democrats on Saturday, July 26, at 4 p.m. at my home. Rick

Larsen or a representative has also been invited, but will not be attending.

Two of the most significant issues currently facing us are the proposed coal terminal and the noise from the Navy’s Growler jets. Congressman Larsen has supported both the coal terminal and the Growlers and is not interested when confronted directly about these issues.

Mike Lapointe opposes both the coal terminal and the Growlers. He is running to represent us regular folks, members of the 99 percent. He does not accept corporate contributions, so he will not be beholden to them.

At the conclusion of the meeting there will be a vote on which, if any, congressional candidate the county Democrats should endorse.

During the weekend Mike will also visit Orcas and San Juan Islands for similar meetings. Imagine a congressional candidate taking the time to visit all three major islands.

My home is located at 97 Nelson Lane, which is off of Military Road. Email me ([email protected]) if you plan to attend. All are welcome.

Revised capital facilities bond to be discussed at July 24 meeting

Lopez School Superintendent Bill Evans will be presenting a propos-al at the regular July board meeting that the district place a revised capital facili-ties bond on the November 2014 ballot.

“We have listened care-fully to the many people who have shared their feelings about the most recent, unsuccessful, capi-tal projects bond election. The school has definite facility needs that must be addressed as soon as pos-sible, for the safety, well-being, and educational growth of our students,” said Superintendent Evans. “ We have developed a pro-posal that responds to the messages we heard from the community about the last bond effort, including the need to significantly reduce the total cost of the bond.”

Those messages, Evans says, include strong sup-port for the school, consen-sus that work needs to be done to keep the buildings up, agreement that safety and security issues have to be addressed, and that enhancement of academics is an important focus of the work. “It was clear,” says Evans, that the community views it important to extend the physical life of the school buildings in order to continue to have a great school. It was also clear that this must be accomplished at a significantly lower total cost.”

The proposal recom-mends that a bond be placed before the voters this November, so that work can be started in the summer of 2015. The proposal includes forming a design advisory committee, with broad rep-resentation of community and school, to advise school officials and their planners about bid designs for the

proposed work. If approved by the board to be placed on the November ballot, there will be a broad com-munication effort, including public meetings, to share information about the bond measure.

The board will discuss the proposal at the School Board meeting, and an opportunity for public input will be provided. Attend the meeting on Thursday, July 24, at 6 p.m., to learn about, and provide input regard-ing the proposed capital bond project election. For further information contact Superintendent Evans at 468-2202, or [email protected]. “Better yet,” says Evans, “stop by and talk with him over a cup of coffee.”

School board to consid-er approval of budget

The Lopez Island School District Board of Directors will meet for their regular July School Board meeting on Thursday, July 24 at 5 p.m. in the school library. There will be two very important financial issues being considered by the board at that meeting – the annual general operating budget and a proposal from Superintendent Evans to the Board for a revised capital projects facilities bond. The start time is earlier than usual, as the regular board meeting will be preceded by a budget hearing, in which the public is invited to hear a presentation and provide comments regarding the

proposed School Year 2014-15 annual budget.

The budget hearing, start-ing at 5 p.m,, will be an opportunity for public input into the budgets that will be presented to the board for consideration of adoption during the regular meet-ing that begins at 6 p.m. The annual general fund budget governs the spend-ing of the majority of the district’s revenues for the year. The approximately $4 million general fund budget

has been developed by the district administration and financial staff, with the assis-tance of a budget committee that included broad repre-sentation from staff, admin-istration, and community.

The new finance team from North Central Educational Service District, with whom the Lopez School District has begun contract-ing for business manager and financial services, will be present at the meeting. You are invited to come and

meet the folks who will be helping Lopez School with business manager and other finance matters.

You are invited to attend the School Board meeting on Thursday, July 24 at 5 p.m. in the school library, to hear more, and/or provide comments about the bud-get. For further information about this important finan-cial matter, please contact Superintendent Evans at 468-2202, or [email protected].

Enroll in Community Solar today and be a part of the renewable energy future of San Juan County. Your participation in Community Solar for our schools will pro-vide our students with renewable energy education and will generate renewable solar energy for our schools, reducing our schools’ electricity costs. To top it off, all participants receive payback through annu-al production incentive payments.

Four solar-electric systems will be installed at the schools on Lopez, Orcas, San Juan, and Shaw Islands. There will be no cost to the school districts for the purchase or installation of the solar-electric systems. All the energy generated will be donat-ed to the school districts, lowering their electricity costs. Bonneville Environmental Foundation will provide educational cur-riculum, teacher training, and science kits for each school to support our schools’ sci-ence programs. San Juan County residents

and businesses can purchase solar units at $200 each, up to 100 solar units per individ-ual (approximately 5 kW). Participants will receive annual energy production incentive payments through 2024 that are anticipated to fully pay back participants for the cost of the solar units purchased. Participants can also choose to donate their incentive payments to the San Juan County school district of their choice.

Community Solar for our schools was developed by Islands Energy, which is a col-laborative group of local and regional non-profits and community volunteers led by the San Juan Islands Conservation District and sponsored by OPALCO. They are working together to increase energy efficiency and conservation, increase local energy genera-tion, and keep energy costs lower.

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a firewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

Puzzle Answers

The Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival, in its 17th sea-son, returns for the third year to Lopez in August, this time with sizzling Nuevo Tango and a Music Lovers Seminar!

This two-week summer festival has grown through the years under the inspired hand of Festival Artistic Director Aloysia Friedmann. From origins in a 1998 week-

end gathering of musical friends and family on Orcas Island, the festival today is an award-winning showcase of classical musicians from around the world.

This summer’s two Lopez programs focus on the intensity and emotion of Argentinean-born Nuevo Tango. A Music Lovers Seminar will be held on Thursday, August 7, from

9:30 a.m. to noon at Port Stanley Schoolhouse. Seattle double bass musician and music educator Spencer Hoveskeland of “The Duet” will lead us with wit and in-depth knowledge from the dockside origins of Tango around the world to its home of the heart, Buenos Aires. From there Tango reached the world through the music of Ástor Piazzolla and the

voice of its unique instru-ment, the bandoneon. There will be ample time for musi-cal examples, interactive dis-cussion.

Following the Music Lovers Seminar by three days, on Sunday, August 10 at 4 p.m. the Pablo Ziegler Classical Tango Quartet promises to lift the audience from its seats at Lopez Center. Pianist for Ástor Piazzola until that tango master’s death, Argentina-born Ziegler con-tinued to refine and evolve what is now known as Nuevo Tango, a musical hybrid of classic tango and jazz. This music is intimately suited to a listening audience rather than a dance club.

The Quartet includes Argentinean bandoneonist Héctor Del Curto, who won the title of Best Bandoneon Player Under 25 when he was just 17, and went on to play with Piazzolla at that young age. His instrument sings with sass and sizzle, wails and sighs. Korean-born New Zealander Jisso Ok has performed as cellist through-out North America, Europe, Argentina and beyond. Her brilliant style matches and interplays with the wistful, piercing bandoneon of hus-band Del Curto. Nine-time Grammy Award winner

Pedro Giraudo, known as a highly versatile bassist, com-poser and arranger, rounds out the Quartet.

Joining the Pablo Ziegler Classical Tango Quartet on stage are Festival Artistic Director Aloysia Friedmann, violin/viola; Jon Kimura Parker, piano; Bion Tsang, cello; and Owen Kotler, clarinet. “We love coming to Lopez,” Friedmann enthused after last year’s Lopez con-cert. “It’s the realization of a long held dream to share this music with all islands.”

Héctor Del Curto aptly described the treat in store: “I believe there is nothing more genuine in the world of music than that moment when the artist connects with the lis-tener through the depth of emotion.”
