Smooth, tiny and winged – yellow jackets tend to make people recoil and in some cases scream.

Orcas Islander Gerry

Ellis describes the num-ber of yellow jackets at her home this year as a “bazil-lion that has diminished to about a million since put-ting out half a dozen yellow cone plastic traps [complete

with ‘bug’ bait inside]. They swarm and fight to be the first to get into their yellow coffin.”

Yellow jackets are about one half-inch long and appear short and stocky. Paper wasps are up to three fourths of an inch long, and are more slender.

According to Russel Barsh, director of the Lopez-based nonprofit labo-ratory Kwiaht, there are at least seven species of wasps in the Northwest, includ-ing native and introduced European and Western yel-low jackets, bald-faced hor-nets and paper wasps.

On Orcas this summer, islanders are wondering if

there is an influx of these yellow and black insects.

Barsh said that the weath-er in spring is one way to determine an abundance of yellow jackets or wasps. A cool wet spring decreases wasp populations because it reduces the survival of the previous year’s queens, which must spend winter in a tree cavity, under a log, or in a wood-pile until the weather is warm enough for them to emerge, hunt and start laying eggs, he said.

“But cool wet springs can also be bad for many of the animals and parasites that eat wasps, so it’s not quite that simple,” he added. “Everything goes in inter-locking cycles.”

According to “Yellow Jackets and Paper Wasps” by WSU entomologists Arthur L. Antonelli and Roger Akre, in the late sum-mer-early fall, worker yellow jacket populations and their colonies are at their peak. Then the colony begins to decline, and their deserted nests disintegrate rapidly in winter.

Antonelli and Akre wrote that maximum population size is attained in August or September.

Their article stated that although most people con-sider these winged crea-tures to be pests, we may not want to see a dimished population because of the benefits they provide.

“Yellow jackets and paper wasps feed their young numerous insects that ordi-

A Lopez man with a long criminal record that includes five prison terms for felony burglary is appealing his most recent burglary conviction in San Juan County. On July 26, Daniel Glenn Roadruck, 49, was sentenced in San Juan County Superior Court to 68 months in prison, the maximum time allowed under the standard range of sentencing set by the state for second-degree burglary. Roadruck was con-victed by a jury two weeks earlier in Superior Court of two counts of second-

degree burglary and of second-degree criminal trespass.

A Class B felony, second-degree bur-glary carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both. He was also ordered to pay $600 in fines and fees; restitution has yet to be determined.

Roadruck recently filed an appeal seeking to overturn the jury verdict at the state Court of Appeals. His most recent felony conviction stems from a rash of burglaries in Lopez Island’s Bakerview Road neighborhood during a three-month period beginning in April. At that time, he was out on conditional

release pending trial on a misdemeanor theft charge for allegedly stealing meat and cash from Horse Drawn Farm. He was arrested on the theft charge in May.

According to court documents, Roadruck broke into and stole various items from two homes, one workshop, a storage shed and a secured campsite between April and late June. DNA tests on two cigarette butts found beneath a riding lawnmower in the storage shed on Bakerview Road tied him to that break-in and theft, and detectives found several items connected to other bur-glaries near his home.

News briefsDrug Take-Back Col-lection Event

The end of the summer is a good time for Lopez Island residents and visitors to clean out medicine cabi-nets of any unused prescrip-tion medications. Abuse of prescription medications is an ongoing problem in our state, and access to medica-tions in homes is an easy way for youth to get their hands on these drugs. According to Washington State’s medicine

take-back program, Take Back Your Meds, over half of teens who abuse medica-tions get them from a family member or a friend, often without their knowledge. The Lopez Island Prevention Coalition is sponsoring a pre-scription drug take-back col-lection event on Wednesday, August 28th, from 1:30-3:30 p.m. outside of the Lopez Pharmacy.

This drug take-back col-lection event is just one way that you can safely dispose of those medications that you no longer use and safe guard your home. There is also a drop-box where you can dispose of medications at any time, day or night, at the Sherriff’s office located

behind the Lopez Island Fire Station. In recent years San Juan County has focused on the drug take-back initiative, and so far there have been about 1,300 pounds of medi-cations that have been col-lected for disposal. Coming to this drug take-back collec-tion event on August 28th, and using the drop-box out-side of the Sheriff’s office are two simple ways that you can help to reduce substance use and abuse on our island.

Knife-wielding man gets four months for felony assault

Exactly one month to the day after he was arrested for brandishing a knife

and threatening a grocery store employee who chased after him for shoplifting, a 33-year-old man was sen-tenced to four months in jail for felony assault.

On Aug. 6, Stanley Vincent Sing, identified in court documents as home-less, pleaded guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of second-degree assault, a Class B felony, and to one count of third-degree theft, a gross misdemeanor. He was ordered to serve four months in jail, credited with having served 31 days of the sentence, and ordered to pay $876 in fines and fees.

According to court docu-ments, two employees of Orcas Island’s Island Market saw Sing stealing food and beer on several occasions on July 6, and one of the two trailed after him when he left the Eastsound grocery store. Sing report-edly pulled a knife on the man and threatened him, and then took off on foot in the direction of Crescent Beach. Deputies later found him near the beach, hiding in the brush, and took him

into custody. A Class B felony, second-

degree assault carries maxi-mum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $25,000 fine, or both; however, the standard range of sentencing set by the state is three to nine months in jail.

Two accused of home invasion to stand trial

Two men accused of breaking into a Friday Harbor apartment and assaulting the man who lives there in the violent altercation that ensued will stand trial on felony charg-es in late October. The two men were allegedly in pur-suit of prescription drugs.

On Aug. 9, Travis James Webster, 26, and Taiya Autumn Speed, 23, each pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of first-degree burglary, a Class A felony that carries maximum pen-alties of life in prison, a $50,000 fine, or both.

Bail was set at $2,500 for each, pending trial.

According to court docu-ments, authorities claim the two men were plotting

to steal prescription medi-cation from a man whom they both knew and were wearing masks when they knocked on the door of his Linder Street apartment on July 11, shortly before midnight. When the man answered the door, they reportedly kicked it open, rushed into the apartment and demanded that he hand over the medication. They allegedly pounced on the man and a struggle ensued.

The man’s two young daughters were asleep in the living room, near where the fight broke out, at the time, according to court documents. His wife, who quickly came to his aid, became involved in the altercation as well.

During the struggle, the husband and wife fended off the assault and unmasked the assailants, who then fled the apartment. The four combatants reportedly know one another and the two alleged burglars were identified by name by the couple following the break-in and attack.

Authorities arrested Webster and Speed the fol-lowing day.

For a four-pound preemie born in 1931, survival is a miracle. In Joyce Seifert’s case, overcoming such adversity was merely a sign of things to come. Growing up in the Depression, sur-viving a motorcycle acci-dent, risking death on a ship in Antarctica – all these potential stumbling blocks became the stepping-stones of Joyce’s life.

Joyce remembers a happy childhood, mostly in Carmel, where her long-shoreman dad took over the family gas station business.

Despite the Depression, or perhaps because of it, “Everybody worked togeth-er,” she says; “no one ever seemed sad.”

When they first saw it in the 1970s, Lopez’s quiet beauty reminded Joyce and her late husband Ed very much of pre-tourist Carmel.

Ed and Joyce graduated from high school as friends, and one day, Ed invited him-self along for coffee with Joyce.

“We had coffee and talked,” Joyce remembers, “and then we went out that night…and then we went out every night after that for a year.”

Already friends, the cou-ple skipped the awkward phase, straight into love. They married in 1950 and settled in Salinas, where Ed had a job as a field fore-man with a produce com-pany. Speaking Spanish, Ed got along well with the braceros. Housewifery and motherhood suited Joyce: son Hal was born in 1951,

daughter Alison three years later. Joyce did Cub Scouts, volunteered, and 15 happy years passed. Then one day in 1967 Ed announced the following: his boss had just ordered him to fire his favorite worker, a man Ed had been planning to pro-mote.

“Ed said, ‘You fire him – I quit,’” Joyce smiles. That flashpoint sparked Ed’s career dream of oceanog-rapher, carried since free-diving in high school.

A new plan took shape: Ed would go back to school; Joyce and the kids would support the family. Joyce took a job admitting at the county hospital, and life guarded at the pool; Hal worked at an appliance store; Alison babysat. Joyce got a little motorbike for commuting, and the Seiferts got by. Then the heavy cash box she was carrying home from her pool job slipped, and she crashed.

For two years Joyce could not work outside the home. Her leg was so badly dam-aged she could not type on the machines of the time. Suddenly, the kids were supporting the family. As soon as she could, Joyce started a daycare center in

her home. “We had children in all

three beds,” she laughs, making light of tough times.

When Ed finished Junior College, the family moved to Corvallis, Ore., for him to complete his oceanography degree.

“It was like going back 20 years,” Joyce says.

Alison loved her high school, Joyce worked as an optician, and the Seiferts hosted parties for the ocean-ography students. When Ed graduated, he joined a research team studying cur-rents in Antartica. He spent six summers down there as part of the “buoy group” – which, unsurprisingly, were all boys…until his team wanted Ed to sign onto a three-month stint.

Joyce smiles: “He said, ‘I’ll do it if you let Joyce go with me.’”

The wild called, and Joyce responded. She quit her job, and got hired inputting data for another research team on Ed’s ship, the 240-feet. Melville, which they board-ed in Chile. There was one other woman aboard – and only a tiny handful ever to venture into those waters before her.

Once the engine stopped working and the single-hulled Melville tossed all night in the huge Antarctic troughs. Joyce knew there were not enough survival suits for everyone, and help would not be on its way. Wasn’t she scared? “No…I

just knew we weren’t going to have trouble. The only trouble was the crew teas-ing me.”

No one had warned Joyce about hazing. After an early bout of seasickness, she learned that the crew had closed the vents of her work-room on purpose. Later, on their only landing, wading through a penguin colony, one of the guys grabbed a penguin and thrust it into her arms: “‘Take it home, Joyce!’” But she learned to laugh along, and the crew accepted her.

In the early 1980s, the research grants ran out, and the Seiferts began looking north for work. They had

Lopez Loves Chamber Music!

Thank you to every Lopez Islander, whether here to stay or here for now, for your enthusiastic support once again for the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival concert at Lopez Center on Sunday August 11th! Once again, you filled the house. Once again, your joyful welcome, rapt atten-tion and rousing applause demonstrated your love for classical music played with

perfection. Once again, our guest musicians returned to their major orchestras in New York, Los Angeles and Europe wrapped in the warm glow that the Lopez audience bestows. Once again, members of the Festival Board of Directors left Lopez Sunday night feel-ing very, very good about the “experiment” to extend the Festival to Lopez each August.

The Lopez Concert takes so many people to make it happen—29 volunteers on

Lopez alone, some of whom were seen taking tickets and providing programs and tushy cushions to arriving concert-goers. Behind them others worked for hours, days or months steering the decision making, find-ing sponsors and donors, promoting the concert on KLOI, at the Farmers Market and in the Weekly, creating the reception, laboring to put up risers for seating and take them down again, providing transporta-tion for the musicians, grow-ing gardens full of flowers. Add to this the expertise of staff of Lopez Center and of the Music Festival office in Eastsound, the Festival Artistic Director, the pro-gram creators, and the all-

volunteer Festival Board, and it proves it DOES take a village (or two!) to do some-thing right.

And wasn’t that fun to get a bonus shoes-off rehearsal in the bargain! Shall we do this again? I’d love to hear from those who may want to join the behind-the scenes team to bring this Chamber Music Festival back next August. Please feel free to reach me at 468-4442 or mick-ir [email protected]. Planning starts before the end of December this year. Thank you all!

In just two weeks, more than 30 Lopez homeown-ers responded to Fifth Grade students’ offer of free motion sensors and timers to reduce unnecessary out-door night lighting and min-imize its impacts on local wildlife.

“We’ve given away nearly a thousand dollars of light and energy saving devices on Lopez,” says project

adviser Russel Barsh of Kwiaht. “Now it’s time for our business community and community services to do their share.”

Barsh notes that more than a dozen buildings in Lopez Village have high-powered outdoor lights that burn from dusk until dawn. No one is shopping most of that time, and there are few pedestrians in the Village

after shops and restaurants close. The only reason for all-night lighting would be the belief that it deters crime.

However, Barsh says, most studies indicate that motion activated lights have at least as much of an effect on crime as lights that are left on all night, even in communities with much higher rates of nighttime assaults and burglaries than San Juan County.

Brightness and aim are also issues. Most of the conspicuous lights in the Village could be half as bright (or less), and shield-ed so they only cast light downward, without a sig-nificant effect on visibility or safety, Barsh suggests: “Try it.”

As Juniper Blomberg’s owl says: “Use motion sen-sors or timers on outside lights. It saves animals.”

bought Lopez property in the 1970s, and when Ed’s Seattle job fell through, they moved here full-time. Ed put in boat moorings, Joyce ran a travel agency. After retire-ment, she volunteered with the Thrift Shop, the Lions, Center Church, and the fire-works committee. Hal and his wife moved to Lopez as well, and Alison was nearby in Seattle.

After 60 years of mar-riage, Joyce lost her beloved Ed in 2009. Moving out of the home they’d made together was hard, as was undergoing open-heart sur-gery, but Joyce loves the Hamlet and rejoices in her five grandsons and a new baby great-granddaughter. Her summation of a life of challenges is typical: “I’ve been very fortunate.”

Going on its 17th year, Lopez Island will find 44 artists in 26 studios greet-ing visitors from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, August 31 and September 1. Visitors go to see art and studios, but in the process of talking with artists about creative work they may begin to reflect on their own life and activi-ties too.

Lopez affords many opportunities to experience fine arts and crafts – includ-ing the Lopez Artist Guild shows at the Lopez Center and the Hamlet House, and at shows at the Chimera and Colin Goode galleries – but the studio tour is something different. Visitors go direct-ly to the studio to meet the artist, ask questions, see techniques and materials

and gain insight into why artists make their art.

All of the artists are expe-rienced professionals who have exhibited, often on Lopez and the other islands but also at galleries on the mainland including Seattle, Bellingham and beyond.

Artists have something to say through their art. The tour gives them a chance to extend this communication

in person in a give and take. “It’s about telling your

story,” says one of the artists. While visitors are often

interested in where the art-ists get their inspirations or the processes they use, the artists are interested in how visitors are receiving their work – reading, interpret-ing, questioning, evaluating and appreciating it.

As one artist puts it, “Being on the tour is a gift that lets me see myself through other people’s eyes. They help me remem-ber why I’m doing this!”

Signing up for the tour is also an incentive for art-ists to complete new work. Opening one’s studio to visitors is a call to put the house in order, to get things sorted out and cleaned up.

Many artists share stu-

dio space for the tour. Clustering enables the visi-tor to experience several artists all in one stop.

Art works are often for sale, although some may simply be on display and not available for purchase.

The Lopez Artist Guild organizes the Tour to sup-port Lopez Island artists – those who work full or part time on the island - whether they are Guild members or not.

Lopez Island is an extraordinary environment of working artists. They make Lopez a better, richer, more beautiful place to live. Yes, they fill the art gal-leries and people’s homes with their work. But they also teach, inspire, enrich, and model the values of the community.

There is a rich array of arts on the tour. Visual arts ranging from figurative and representational to abstract, and from water colors, pas-tels, printmaking of all kinds and more. Pottery and ceramics including purely functional pieces and sculp-tures. There are a number of woodworkers along with glass artists and fiber art-ists. Jewelry makers, stone sculptures, book-binding and photography. Metal works and pressed flowers, hand-woven wearables and paper mache.

You can find the 12-page Tour brochure (available at the Chamber, lopezisland.com, Chimera Gallery chi-meragallery.com and other places of business) to navi-gate. You can also visit www.lopezstudiotour.org for more info. Visit the Art Tent at the Lopez Island Vineyards lopezislandvineyards.com on Fisherman Bay Road, open 12 -5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, to see a selection of artists on the tour.

Come to the Opening Reception at the Art Tent on Friday, August 30, from 4-6 p.m.

narily damage shade trees and crops,” wrote Antonelli and Akre. “They also kill countless houseflies and blow flies. Yellow jackets and paper wasps scavenge

for meat and sweets and can become pests, espe-cially at picnics and camp-grounds.”

Wasps also eat large quantities of garden pests including aphids, beetle lar-vae, moth larvae, cutworms and inchworms, Barsh said, but they also eat pollinators including honeybees, and

flower flies, as well as other useful insect-controllers such as spiders.

To control populations of waps, he recommends removing paper wasp nests, characterized by having open combs with cells. Nests that are close to doors, windows and patios should be the high-est priority. Always remove nests at night when the insects are home and dor-mant and as soon as they appear in the early sum-mer, he added.

Antonelli and Akre rec-ommend if you are allergic to wasp stings, do not risk removing the nest your-self.

“Some people react strongly to the stings of bees and wasps,” they wrote. “Symptoms can include swelling, nausea, dizziness, dif ficulty with breathing, and shock. Symptoms may be immedi-ate or delayed for several hours. For most people without allergies, a sting

may be no more than a minor annoyance or irrita-tion.”

As for the popular yel-low cone traps you can pur-chase, Barsh said they kill lots of wasps, but the colo-nies will likely survive.

“Avoid chemicals – knockdown sprays use extremely toxic and persis-tent chemicals that kill all insects including bees,” he said.

Yellow jackets and paper wasps do not reuse their nests the following year, although paper wasps may construct a new nest adja-cent to an old one, accord-ing to Antonelli and Akre. If you choose to leave the wasps alone, the nest will usually disintegrate over the winter months.

According to Barsh most yellow jackets are also “naturally controlled” by other wasps, mites, and bacterial, viral and fungal infections.

“By far the best advice is: don’t get near a nest, don’t look or smell like a flower,” he said. “And if you want to dine al fresco during the summer months, leave a few traps out around the patio or garden area you’d like to use,” he said.

By Cali BagbyWeekly editor

Caleb Klauder and His Country Band create a hon-ky-tonk sound that makes you feel like you should be sitting at a campfire under starry skies in some vast wilderness. At the same time, the songs also inspire you to get on your best boots and cowboy hat and hit the town with your toes tapping. The band’s music is a blend of Americana, blue-grass and classic coun-try western with a contem-porary feel.

“We like to get people

excited and start dancing,” Klauder said.

You can hear Klauder and His Country Band, shown right, on August 30, Friday at The Galley, Lopez Island. This is his first trip to Lopez as performer.

Klauder grew up on Orcas Island inspired by his step-mother’s fiddle playing and other local musicians. Klauder and his childhood friend David Andrews wrote their first song together at age fifteen, and continued to write into the future. They eventually founded the band Calobo. Klauder currently

works as a songwriter, musician and carpenter in Portland, Ore.

As a singer, guitarist and mandolin player, Klauder has spent 15 years tour-ing nationally and inter-nationally with bands like Calobo and the Foghorn Stringband.

“As a young adult I real-ized I wanted to play the fiddle and then it led me to the old-time sound and really old country songs,” said Klauder. “I was drawn into old-time bluegrass and drawn to playing acoustic music.”

His “country” band mem-bers include Jesse Emerson on upright bass, Ned Folkerth on drums, Reeb Willms on vocals and guitar, Russ Blake on pedal steel and electric guitar and Sam Weiss on fiddle, all of whom

contribute to the vibrant Northwest music scene in various other bands. The concert will feature music from the band’s last two records, new songs that have not been released and plenty of covers.

Klauder said he has been inspired by a wide range of musicians including Bob Marley, Bill Monroe, The

Carter Family, Dolly Parton and Hank Williams.

This diverse set of artists has helped Klauder develop his own unique style.

“We play country music, but not like what you hear on the radio,” he said. “We are rooted in traditional music and even folk music and it’s definitely all dance music.”
