When monastery and cheese collide

A story of artisan on Shaw Island By Meredith M. Griffith Weekly 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 summer’s “cheese apprentice” at Shaw Island’s Our Lady of the Rock Benedictine monastery. 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 regularly sold at the monastery and the Shaw general store. Gunstone, a native of Portland, Ore., is a professional 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 something about monasticism that I’m drawn to; the selfdenial 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 someday create a book photodocumenting the monastic life in a wide variety of monasteries 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 “mothers” of the monastery assigned her to cheesemaking and caring for the monaster y’s Cotswold sheep during lambing season. 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 monastery’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

Cheese was once traditionally 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

You are making history By Karen Alexander, LIHS President Special 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 experience 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 digging through such treasure boxes for 40-some years. With the advent of computers, we now have many thousands of family treasures scanned, photographed, 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

100% recycled pixels.

“Lopez arrival story.” On Saturday, July 26 (11a.m. – 3 p.m.) LIHS is hosting a community wide old-fashioned Lopez Island picnic on the museum grounds. Bring your own picnic lunch, beverage, blanket, lawn chair and favorite island and family 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 stories, enjoy children’s activities, 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 family story to our archives.

News from Solid Waste Disposal District Zapalac and Lawrence hired by Lopez Solid Waste The Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District has hired David Zapalac for the position of facility manager, effective 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 administrator, 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 longstanding, hard-working employee Bob Chonka. Together the three employees’ hours add up to the equivalent of 1.5 full-time employees. Having three persons on board gives the

district more flexibility during its busy months, and helps ensure there will be at least two employees on site in the event of an absence. The district simultaneously hired Matthew McQueen as community training and education coordinator, a one-year grant-funded position. Job descriptions for all staff can be seen at lopezsolidwaste.org, under the LSWDD menu. David received a degree in geography - resource and environmental studies from Southwest Texas State University. He is an FAAcertified airplane mechanic, and has extensive experience 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 recycling, 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 fortunate to have such capable people as David and Gary join its staff, and the community is encouraged to stop in to greet them and to offer suggestions, feedback, and support as they start

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 (tyttil@rockisland.com) if you plan to attend. All are welcome.

Be grateful for military’s protection I served as a woman Marine during World War II. In the following 10 years I served as a personal assistant 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 budgets no military person nor any legislator in their right mind would consider the cost of moving it all elsewhere 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 appropriate 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.

Lopez School news Revised capital facilities bond to be discussed at July 24 meeting Lopez School Superintendent Bill Evans will be presenting a proposal at the regular July board meeting that the district place a revised capital facilities bond on the November 2014 ballot. “We have listened carefully to the many people who have shared their feelings about the most recent, unsuccessful, capital projects bond election. The school has definite facility needs that must be addressed as soon as possible, for the safety, wellbeing, and educational growth of our students,” said Superintendent Evans. “ We have developed a proposal 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 support for the school, consensus 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 recommends 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 representation 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 communication 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 regarding the proposed capital bond project election. For further information contact Superintendent Evans at 468-2202, or bevans@lopez. k12.wa.us. “Better yet,” says Evans, “stop by and talk with him over a cup of coffee.”

School board to consider 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 201415 annual budget. The budget hearing, starting 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 meeting that begins at 6 p.m. The annual general fund budget governs the spending 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 assistance of a budget committee that included broad representation from staff, administration, and community. The new finance team from North Central Educational Service District, with whom the Lopez School District has begun contracting 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 budget. For further information about this important financial matter, please contact Superintendent Evans at 468-2202, or bevans@lopez. k12.wa.us.

Community solar for schools 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 provide 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 annual 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 donated to the school districts, lowering their electricity costs. Bonneville Environmental Foundation will provide educational curriculum, teacher training, and science kits for each school to support our schools’ science programs. San Juan County residents

and businesses can purchase solar units at $200 each, up to 100 solar units per individual (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 collaborative group of local and regional nonprofits 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 generation, and keep energy costs lower. To sign up, call 378-6621 or visit sanjuanislandscd.org/community-solar-in-theschools/.

Lopez Trashion-Fashion show The funky-wacky over-the-top showstopper known as Trashion-Fashion will be held at Lopez Center at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 9. Robert Herrmann will return as co-emcee, joined by jewelry artist CiCi, a familiar presence from the Lopez Saturday Market. Together they will shepherd the parade of Lopez creative spirits across the stage and of the runway to “flaunt their flair” before a three-judge panel charged with awarding an array trophies cobbled together from the Take-It-Or-Leave-It. Judges for the event will be Jan Scilipoti, Jeff Nichols, and Joyce Brinar. If prior shows are any indicator, they will have their work cut out for them. In its third year, Trashion-Fashion is a fundraising and promotional event put on by Solid Waste Alternatives Program the nonprofit organization supporting the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District. Look for more news on this event next week.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) 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.

voice of its unique instrument, the bandoneon. There will be ample time for musical examples, interactive discussion. 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 continued 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 throughout North America, Europe, Argentina and beyond. Her brilliant style matches and interplays with the wistful, piercing bandoneon of husband Del Curto. Nine-time Grammy Award winner

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 concert. “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 listener through the depth of emotion.” Concert tickets are at www. lopezcenter.org.
