“Yes” is the answer. But the question is “when?”
After more than five years of meetings and hearings and work, San Juan County now has a “new and improved” regulatory frame-work for locating digital commu-nications sites in the San Juan islands.
But the Community Development & Planning Department says there are no applications in the pipeline to locate new cell phone towers in the county. “We’ve received calls” said Julie Thompson at the plan-ning agency, “but no applications yet.”
“The new statute is all we need to process cell phone antenna applications,” said Shirene Hale, CDPD’s lead planner. Hale says the statute makes siting easier for telecom companies to site anten-nas and towers, especially if the site is a “joint use” facility that includes equipment used by public safety agencies, like the Sheriff ’s Department or an EMT agency.
“But it’s just a step,” she said. “It’s up to the service providers and the public safety agencies now.”

With a $700,000 grant in the bag, Homes for Islanders has scaled another hurdle in its quest to build another 21 affordable homes in Friday Harbor.
Homes for Islanders, known for its ‘sweat equity’ concept of home construction and financing, announced last week that the Rural Development arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture has awarded the San Juan Island-based affordable housing group a two-year, $700,000 technical assistance grant that will help cover the cost of staff, supplies, supervi-sion, training and overhead for future con-struction of 21 so-called “self-help” homes in Friday Harbor.
To date, the housing group has assisted people in securing the financing and in manag-ing the construction of 49 sweat equity homes in the San Juans over the past six years; 21 of those homes, in Friday Harbor’s Village Grove neighborhood, are in the final phase of con-struction.
According to Homes for Islanders, the first phase of the new 21 affordable homes calls for construction of nine on Corliss Court and

The face of island aviation has changed a lot since Roy Franklin first landed his Stinson Voyager in a field a couple miles west of the town — actually, it was a cow pasture, and sometimes he would land at night with the aid of head-lights of three cars lighting the way — and called it an airport, with a wink, no doubt.
Franklin, co-founder of Island
Sky Ferries, the San Juans’ first commercial airline, kept at it for more than a decade until construc-tion of Friday Harbor Airport was completed in the early 1960s.

Joyce Thompson has 50 years of experience as a physical therapist, 10 of those years on San Juan Island, as founder and therapist of Islanders Physical Therapy.
She’s proud of her pro-fessional experience, and equally proud to “pass it forward” to her staff, and to learn from them too.
This applies especially to Lisa Alexander, the new physical therapist, who holds three degrees in phys-
ical therapy and is creden-tialed as a clinical instructor by the American Physical Therapy Association.
Alexander holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Kansas, another Bachelor of Science (honors) in physiotherapy from the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, Scotland, and a Doctor of Physical Therapy from Northern Arizona University.
She’s been a physical therapist since 1998, has “worked with patients from birth to 100 years old,” and is also credentialed as a clinical instructor in physiotherapy by the American Physical Therapy Association.
Thompson commented
that Alexander “completes our full-service staff of thera-py professionals,” which also includes occupational ther-
apist Suzie Nichols, speech and language Pathologist Patti Bjarnason and physical therapist Ashley Paull.

In a tough economy, one of the best ways to find a job is to further your education.
After receiving a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant, the San Juan County Economic Development Council is hoping to help eight lucky islanders with marine training.
“I am thrilled we received this funding because it will enable islanders to garner high wage jobs in San Juan County — which is no easy feat,” said EDC Director Victoria Compton.
The EDC is slated to receive a portion of a $49,378 job training grant from the USDA.
The money will go towards the “Tri-County Rural Business Education Network” that was cre-
ated by San Juan, Skagit and Whatcom Counties to address the growing need for business and job-skills training. The total budget for the proj-ect is $159,990. Of that, $14,788 will be used to train San Juan County residents in marine diesel technology and fiberglass manufacturing.
Skagit County will be working on web-streamed educational offerings and Island County will offer supply chain management courses.
During a typical year, it costs the EDC around $20,000 for educational opportunities for busi-nesses.
“I am pleased to see these federal dollars going to work in San Juan County,” said U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen in a press release. “This training will help workers in the San Juan Islands get the skills they need to find new jobs or advance in their current jobs.”
The funding will provide educational scholar-ships for eight qualified adults.
“Basically anyone can apply,” Compton said. “Hopefully it will be someone just out of school, under-employed or unemployed.”
The six-month program will be held in
Anacortes at the Northwest Center of Excellence in Marine Manufacturing and Technology at Skagit Valley College.
The EDC is accepting applications for the marine technical training scholarships until July 20. For more information, or to apply visit, www.sanjuansedc.org/marine.htm.
Compton says West Sound Marina on Orcas, Jensen Shipyard on San Juan and Islands’ Marine Center on Lopez have all expressed interest in hiring a graduate of the program. Plus, being surrounded by water is good job security for this profession.
“It is such a slam dunk because these ship-yards have said, ‘Yes, we want to hire people,’” Compton said. “The idea is to create high wage jobs.”

The bids are in… and a portion of taxpayer dollars will remain close to home as San Juan Island School District overhauls and modernizes its information technology and computer systems.
Rock Island Technology Solutions last week announced that it underbid some heavyweight competi-tion to supply the school district with some of the hardware, services and post-sales support the dis-trict will need in the initial stage of a large-scale tech-nological upgrade.
By working with distribu-tors and vendors, Rock Island CEO Mike Greene said in a prepared statement that the San Juan Island-based company was able to secure “extremely competi-tive pricing” for the district.
Rock Island will provide the district with 68 laptop computers as part of the first
installment of district’s tech-nology purchases. With a foot in the door, Greene expects the company can remain competitive with future bids as the district moves forward with other elements of its $1 million district-wide techno-logical upgrade over the next several years.
“We think we’ve earned their confidence,” he said. “We wanted the opportu-nity to show the district that we were capable of delivering excellent value, both up front during the bidding process and fol-lowing through to delivery and beyond with post sales support. We are honored that the district gave us that opportunity, it was a win-win for everyone.”
Not only did voters renew the district’s four-year capital and technology levy by a wide margin in mid-February, but they also approved a near doubling of the previous four-year levy as a means to help pay for
an extensive upgrade of dis-trict buildings, facilities, and information technology.
Roughly 40 percent of the $3.7 million levy is earmarked for various improvements at the ele-mentary school, including installation of a new roof, and district plans call for investing slightly more than $1 million on replacement and upgrade of computer and information systems.

to make the first move, is Orcas and Light Power Cooperative. But OPALCO is at least two years away from deploying new technology on its poles and towers.
“We’re compiling technical information now so that the OPALCO Board can make a decision on the broadband deployment initiative, probably by the end of summer,” said OPALCO Assistant General Manager Foster Hildreth, point man for the local utility’s telecommunications and broad-band efforts. “After the Board decision, we’ll be designing the infrastructure and doing the planning so we can start construction in 2013, with full deployment in 2015. At that time, communications companies, public safety agencies and OPALCO itself can co-locate antennas and other equip-ment on our poles.”
Hildreth added, “We can provide the poles, the electricity and the backhaul capacity, but the infrastructure must work in symmetry with the other provider’s technology.” And that takes time.
San Juan County’s “Wireless Facilities Ordinance” was
passed June 26 by the County Council with the intent to make locating cellphone antennas easier in the county, and in a manner that is “consistent with the character of island neighborhoods and the rural and scenic qualities of the islands,” according to the ordinance’s preamble.
In response to the expressed desire of public safety agen-cies for access to new technology breakthroughs, the new cellphone tower siting rules make public safety telecom-munications “essential public services” and give various preferences to colocating antenna sites with public safety communications sites.
So the answer is, “Yes, but not now.”

The group is taking appli-cations for all 21 homes funded by the grant. To qual-ify, applicants must be in the “low to very low” income category, have good credit and stable employment.
“This is a wonder-ful opportunity to work hard to own a home at a very reasonable month-ly payment,” Homes for Islanders Director Justin Roche said in a prepared statement announcing the
award. In addition to the USDA
grant, Home for Islanders is recipient of a $150,000 grant from Bremerton-based Community Frameworks, a nonprofit group providing financial assistance to affordable housing organizations. The grant will help applicants with down payment assis-tance, if needed.

House. The event, intended as
part airport showcase and part community get togeth-er, gets under way July 21, at 10 a.m. and runs, offi-cially, until 3 p.m. There is no admission charge. The opening ceremony features the American Legion Post 163 Color Guard, invoca-tion by the Legion chap-lain and National anthemn sung by Sussane LeDuc. Demonstrations and fly-bys, highlighted by the Blackjack Squadron at 12:30 p.m., continue throughout the day.
Keep a lookout for a B-25 bomber flyover, slated for noon, and an L-29 at 1 p.m. Enter to win a free heli-copter ride or a plane ride; drawings occur throughout
the day. Various vendors will offer meals, snacks and beverages for purchase.
For the younger set, there’s face-painting, a balsa-wood glider contest and flight simulators. The aiport also offers a free shuttle operat-ing on a regular schedule to and from town, including the ferry landing.
Today, Friday Harbor Aiport is among the busiest in Washington state, with more than 58,000 take-offs and landings a year, and nearly 11,000 “ticketed” passengers. It’s home to three commercial airlines, various charter aircraft, a fixed-wing ambulance ser-vice, and more.
“The Fly In is more than about the numbers,” said airport manager Dave Ryan. “It’s about the personality of the airport.”
July 21 is a good opportu-nity to check it out.
“After the Board decision, we’ll be designing the infrastructure and doing the planning so we can start construction in 2013, with full deployment in 2015.”

The San Juan Islands and surrounding waterways should be included as part of the official study of envi-ronmental impacts from the proposed Gateway Pacific coal terminal in Whatcom County, according to the San Juan County Council
On June 26, the County 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 con-ducted that would “address the cumulative impacts of new coal terminals in the Pacific Northwest, includ-ing the Gateway Pacific Terminal.”
An area-wide EIS 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 qual-ity, air quality, listed spe-cies, critical habitat, and aquatic resources, 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 meet-ings, which will include a determination whether an area-wide EIS will be required by the Corps, have yet to be announced.

Council calls sweeping coal review
Pay bump for some town non-union workers
The Town of Friday Harbor revised its sal-ary schedule for non-union employees and the Town Council on July 5 — but not by much.
Confirming the con-tract entered into with new Administrator Duncan Wilson earlier this year, the new salary ordinance sets Wilson's salary at the con-tract level of $110,000 per year.
This represents a $5,000 increase over the annual salary of King Fitch, who retired two weeks ago. The Town Clerk's annual pay was raised by $5,000 per year to $56,876.
Also confirmed were raises to council members first enacted just before the 2011 election.
Limited to council mem-bers elected to serve in 2012 or thereafter, the new schedule sets compensa-tion at $400 per month plus $50 per meeting, with a maximum of three meet-ings per month.
The prior council sala-ries were fixed at $85 per meeting, with a maxi-mum of four meetings per month.
In addition, the town agreed to pay 8 percent more toward health care insurance premiums for all non-union employees, and agreed to a cost-of-living adjustment for non-union employees, but not the mayor or council.
Port lands $90K state grant for airport project
The Port of Friday Harbor will receive $90,000 in state transportation fund to help cover the cost of its pend-ing taxiway reconstruction project.
The grant, totaling $90,782, is funded by the Aviation Division of the state Department of Transportation and will be used as a portion of the “local match” that the port must finance as part of the taxi-way reconstruction project, which is slated to get under way at the July 23. The port is obligated to contribute 10 percent of the $3.3 million in federal funds, financed by the Federal Aviation
Administration, earmarked for the project.
The port has previous-ly been the beneficiary of nearly $180,000 in state DOT funding, provided for various projects at Friday Harbor Airport.
Speak louder? I had suspected that the
County Council was deaf. Now I know that they’ve just stopped listening.
They have already made up their minds about the critical areas ordinance. Public input is officially over. Here’s proof.
I recently attended a meet-ing with the attorney general of Washington where Howie (Nostradamus) Rosenfeld predicted that the CAO would be passed soon by a vote of 5-to1. How utterly astonishing. (Or perhaps this was decided in a secret meeting?)
Anywhere else this would be called “Breaking News.” Here in San Juan County it is evidence that our council stopped listening.
The “Gang of Five” has already decided their course. Let’s ram this law down the people’s throats.
Mr. Rosenfeld’s determi-nation to slap us with the most restrictive anti-human laws since Prohibition is shameful. If the other mem-bers of this Gang of Five go along it will be a loss of freedom and a critical blow to our local economy.
The Prohibition made criminals out of everyone except “teetotalers.” This CAO will trip up everyone who may have a mud pud-dle or a frog on his or her property.
It is simply the worst assault on individual liberty in San Juan County’s history.This legislation is expensive,
unenforceable, and makes criminals out of property owners for using their land. It’s just wrong.
For Howie to assert that this CAO will pass soon by a 5-1 margin is frightening. We need to speak louder by voting this gang out of office.

Disappointed by lawless display
I was disappointed that several of our neighbors chose to celebrate the birth of our nation by actively denying a core principle on which it was founded.
The countywide ban on fireworks was not a law imposed by a King George or other external author-ity. It was a result of direct democracy — voted in not once but twice by the direct vote of the citizens of the county. It was the purest form of democracy in action; an act of govern-ment of the people, by the people, for the people.
Yet last night some of our neighbors preferred the politics of the black-clad, bandana-faced atheists whose apparent philosophy of social “order” is “I want what I want and no stinkin’’ law is going to stop me.”
Given a choice between belief in or rejection of the basic principle of our gov-ernment, these neighbors chose rejection.
How ironic, and also how sad, that so many of our neighbors celebrated the birth of our great nation by negating the core ideal of self-government on which
it was founded and voting, by their deeds, in favor of a society of lawlessness and anarchy.

Howie: clear, honest insightful
Howie Rosenfeld, in his Journal opinion piece, has written with clarity and honesty.
I have observed him on the County Council and he is always insightful and to the point.
I too, have seen so many beautiful areas destroyed by overpopulation and over-development. Howie is one of those key individuals who can prevent that from happening on the San Juan Islands in a fair and rea-soned manner.
I would be honored to help him in anyway I can in his bid for re-election.

Let’s share costs of public safety
Your County Council has unanimously approved an ordinance supported by judges, prosecutors, sheriffs, clerks and Town of Friday Harbor officials for a local sales tax with proceeds to be used for criminal justice and public safety purpose.
Please join us me in vot-ing for this in the August Primary election.
There are three aspects of this measure that are appealing. First, it is a modest change to the sales
tax… just three-tenths of 1 percent—30 cents on a hundred dollar purchase, $15 on $5,000 of purchases. Most groceries, drugs and autos are excluded.
Second, the price is paid by visitors and residents. It is a way of diversify-ing the revenue sharing the costs of providing services in this community to the people who benefit from the services.
Third, the money is directed to the fairness of how we treat our people — to the sheriff, the prosecu-tor, public defense and the courts. Our preference for these services defines the good standard of living and way of life in this commu-nity. Our approach to law enforcement brings value to property owners and visi-tors alike.
There has been no rush to adopt the public safety sales tax. It is a tax that was authorized in 2003.
Nearly a decade has passed and during that time county leaders have cut budgets and used other ways to pay for law and justice services. It’s time to bring stability to our law enforcement and courts. Please vote Yes.

No benefits at home from coal
As you have been reading in the Sounder and perhaps many of the local papers, our pristine environment is about to be sacrificed for the benefit of large money interests and the inaction and disinterest of your fed-eral representatives (whom I assume have received very generous campaign contri-butions from many of the players.)
At first glance the expor-tation of coal to Asia from Cherry Point in Whatcom
County seems like a good idea. It helps the few miners in Wyoming, jobs for some railroad employees, jobs for some workers at the export-ing point in Whatcom County and our balance of payments with China.
Unfortunately, there is no benefit to the citizens in Whatcom, Skagit and San Juan County. We get few of the export dollars but get a great deal of pollution from coal dust and increased haz-ards created by the foreign tankers hauling coal west-ward.
If that were the only issue, I might be tempted to be in favor of such exporta-tion. However, when coal is burned we all know that it pollutes the atmosphere with global warming CO2, mercury, sulfuric acid, and nitrous oxide.
This pollution will drift back across the Pacific to

Editorial
Much at stakeCredit the San Juan County Council with
a wise move in asking the Army Corps of Engineers for an area-wide envi-
ronmental impact statement for the proposed Gateway Pacific coal terminal at Cherry Point, near Bellingham.
We’ve heard goods reasons for building and operating the terminal, and many good reasons not to.
Proponents cite 1,200 permanent high-paying jobs and 4,400 temporary construction jobs as good reasons for the EPA and Whatcom County to approve the port, still in the early stages of consideration. They say with some justification that the overall benefit to the U.S. and local econ-omies is hundreds of millions of dollars in wages and taxes here at home, and that the future of Cherry Point as a major Northwest industrial site is assured for the rest of the century.
They say they know how to make the terminal environmentally safe — and keep it that way.
Opponents point to pollution from the dust of 48 million tons of coal arriving on one open-top train per hour every year, not to speak of the “dirty-coal” pollution spewed into the air by factories in Asia using that tonnage of American coal. They point to a dubious past and doubt-filled future of promises made and broken by natural resource industries.
They say the glory of the natural world that is our bountiful Salish Sea is at risk and could be destroyed by a product that we don’t want to use in our own country.
Valid arguments on both sides. But it should be without question that a multi-
million dollar EIS must include careful, honest study of the entire Salish Sea area and that the study, in the words of the Council, must “include a comprehensive analysis of impacts to water quality, air quality, listed species, critical habitat, and aquatic resources, as well as impacts to pub-lic health and the local economy.”
If that’s done, we can live with, and perhaps thrive with, the results.

Guest Column
By San Juan County Noxious Weed Control Program staffIt’s a sign of summer: we’re starting to find dead tansy
ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) plants along the county’s roads, left there by alert residents aware of the plant’s hazards and status as a Class B noxious weed – meaning that landowners are legally obligated to keep it from spreading.
The best time to dig out tansy is before the bright yellow, daisy-like flowers open. Once the yellow shows, however, the flowers can set seed and be carried along by vehicle tires to new locations. After the yellow flowers begin to open, it is necessary to cut the heads off the plants and bag them, leaving the non-flowering parts behind.
Tansy is easily recognized when in flower. No other local-ly common member of the daisy family has bright yellow flowers with thirteen petals and soft frilly leaves, coupled with an unpleasant odor when crushed or pulled.
Depending on conditions, the plant may reach a height between a few inches and more than five feet. Because of last summer’s early rains and the mild wet winter and spring, tansy will be abundant again this year.
Tansy ragwort is one of our worst weeds. Highly toxic, it accounts for more livestock deaths in San Juan County than any other weed.
The toxin is cumulative and causes irreversible liver damage. While horses and cattle will normally avoid tansy in pastures, it loses its characteristic odor when dry in hay. At that point, animals cannot distinguish it from the rest of the forage. Animals can also accidentally ingest leaves of the first-year rosettes.
Sheep and goats show some resistance to the toxin, but it may taint the milk and, possibly, the meat. Because of the threat to livestock, every attempt must be made to find and remove all tansy from pastures and hayfields, as well as roadsides and other areas from which it can spread into agricultural lands.
When the plants flower they can be pulled by hand; the flowers then should be removed and bagged. In pastures and hay meadows the entire plant should be bagged.
Selective herbicides may be used to spot-spray individual plants without harming the grass around them. Remember that when using herbicides, always follow label instructions. The label is the law.
For specific herbicide recommendations, contact the County Noxious Weed Control Program at 376-3499.
County ordinances prohibit the use of herbicides on any public right-of-way.
Mowing can only be used as a stop-gap solution for tansy control, since the plants will re-bloom during the same sea-son, and then reappear as robust, short-lived perennials in succeeding seasons.
Biological control — using a combination of cinnabar moth caterpillars, a root-feeding weevil, and a seed-eating fly — shows some promise. The caterpillars, however, may eat closely related members of the same genus (although they do not appear to cause serious damage) and are there-fore no longer being distributed in San Juan County. The weevil and the seed-head fly are host-specific. Biological control of any weed takes an investment of years, however, before results can be gauged.
n For more information on tansy ragwort or other noxious weeds, call the County Noxious Weed Program or email [email protected], or [email protected]. Specialists can be hired to help with removal on your property.

Dollars for Scholars do over
Several weeks ago I sub-mitted a heartfelt thank you on behalf of Dollars for Scholars to the community and all of our partners for all the generous support you give to our mission and scholarship fund.
In this thank you, I failed to mention our long-term and most significant partner. I can only attri-
bute this omission to the quiet and giving nature of Consignment Treasures.
Through their enterprise they contribute yearly to the ability of Dollars for Scholars to award multiple scholarships to San Juan Island students.
So, with a really big thank you we would like to recog-nize Consignment Treasures and the Dollars for Scholars “Clothes Closet.”
The entire staff does a great job of making this philanthropic endeavor run smoothly and efficiently. There are several individu-als I would like to acknowl-edge: Paula Miller, who coordinates all the volun-teer activity at Consignment Treasures, Julie Ochoa, who tirelessly works as the main volunteer at the Dollars for Scholars Clothes Closet, and
Cooper Calhoun, Robert Woods, and Dominique McMillan, who each have a hand in supporting our mission of inspiring young men and women to become active volunteers and give back to our community.
Their work and dedica-tion help ensure that our scholarship fund remains solvent.
Your donations of useable clothing to the DFS Clothes Closet go directly to the support of the Dollars for Scholars scholarship fund.
Please visit us at www.dollarsforscholarssji.org to learn more about our program. how to engage students volunteers, or to donate. Dollars for Scholars, San Juan Island is a program of Scholarship America.

World War II hero and San Juan Island resident Roy Hiroshi Matsumoto has been recognized once again for his service, this time by the Ambassador of Japan, Ichiro Fujisake.
Matsumoto, who celebrat-
ed his 99th birthday in May, met with the ambassador and veterans, internees and their families at the Nisei Veterans Hall in Seattle.
Matsumoto was the senior person at the gather-ing, which included a dozen other WW II veterans and several women who had
been interned in the U.S.The Ambassador thanked
Matsumoto for his service and sacrifices, and recog-nized that the rest of his family lived through the war in Hiroshima, Japan, and survived the atomic bombing of that city.
Matsumoto answered the Ambassador briefly in Japanese, closing his remarks with a Japanese saying, “Kinoh no teki wa kyoo no tomo,” which trans-lates to “Yesterday’s foe is today’s friend.”
Interned in 1942, Matsumoto volunteered in 1943 for army military ser-vice, retiring after a 20-year career as Master Sergeant.
Among numerous awards, he received the Bronze Star, the Legion of Merit and the Congressional Gold Medal.
In World War II, he was a member of the famed Merrill’s Marauders unit in Burma. He also served behind Japanese lines in China, and later with the U.S. occupation forces in Japan.

It started with a pair of family fun runs, on either side of the island, and ended with a eye-catching display of
fireworks over the harbor. And in between, there was plenty to
keep everyone in the family entranced and engaged, as islanders turned out in force on the hottest day of the year, up until then, to celebrate Independence Day 2012.
The annual Independence Day parade, sponsored by the San Juan Island Chamber of Commerce, drew 59 entries in all, includ-ing the University of Washington marching band, which delivered a mesmerizing per-formance and was rewarded by an award for the “Best Off-Island” group in the parade.
Some sang. Some danced. Some sang. Some tossed eggs. Others wore face paint or rifled through mounds of hay in search of
treasure. In the end, however, it’s fair to say that the Soggy Bottom Boys... oops, Girls… stole the show at the annual Pig War Picnic, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club and hosted by San Juan Island Historical Society.
Not even the absence of lead singer Tom Watson, performer extraordinaire and the band’s founder, could keep the Timebenders from turning the Port of
Friday Harbor parking lot into the closest thing that Friday Harbor may have ever seen to all-out, mon-ster-sized street dance.
By the time the band returned to the stage for the final set of its tribute to 40-plus years of pop music’s most time-honored tunes, a near capacity crowd was itchin’ to dance and the parking lot might have well have been the Roxy.

By Scott rasmussenJournal Editor
It would only be natural to ask the question, “Why?”But if you are wondering about the inspiration for giving William
Shakespeare’s classic comedy about lovers and dreamers a spin against the backdrop of the free-wheeling, mind-bending days of the late 1960s, the better question might be, “Why not?”
“Actually, it makes a lot of sense,” said Texas native Ileana Herrin, who stars in Island Stage Left’s summer production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” in the role of Puck. “The play is a lot about dreams and whether they’re reality or not, and figuring out what are true feelings and what aren’t. It’s really about believing in your dreams.”
With a cast of nearly two dozen, Stage Left makes its way back to San Juan Island, after opening the show with four performances last week on Orcas, Shaw and Lopez, to begin a six-week run of one of the Bard’s most endearing and whimsical comedies, Thursday, on the outdoor stage of Roche Harbor Resort.
Call it Shakespeare’s “Summer of Love” under the stars. The curtain rises at 8:30 p.m., with performances on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this week as well.
Herrin, a graduate of the University of Texas, Austin, in theater and dance, has played the role of Puck before. But her character was designed to be more classic in nature -- more like Peter Pan than clown-and-slap-stick -- five years ago when she tackled that role. The 28-year-old, the first
professional actor in the family, said it has been easy to slip into character and to adopt a different approach while surrounded by so much natural beauty.
“Living in a cabin out in the woods on a beautiful island, I feel like I’m in a dream state right now,” she said. “I think bringing nature into the per-formance is just beautiful.”
Like most Shakespeare comedies, the bonds of marriage are integral to “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” But of equal importance to the plot are dreams, magic, illusion, fairies, Mother Nature, mistaken identities and love, not necessarily in that order.
Hermia loves Lysander, Lysander loves Hermia, Helena loves Demetrius, but Demetrius loves Hermia, or so he believes. The fun begins when Lysander and Hermia run away from home, intending to elope, to avoid Hermia’s betrothal to Demetrius. Helena and Demetrius follow and the four end up in a forest where a troupe of buffoonish actors are rehears-ing a play, and a band of mischievous fairies, led King Oberon and his second-in-command, Puck, weave a series of powerful, and sometimes misdirected, magic spells.
Herrin believes that Shakespeare saw much of himself in Puck, by giving the character the power to mess everything up and then to set it right.
“It’s interesting in that he creates all the drama and then fixes it in the end,” she said. “He’s like the Sandman almost, leading people through this dream state that doesn’t seem to make any sense until the end.”
As the character Bottom, Stage Left mainstay Daniel Mayes has perhaps the play’s most comedic role. Herrin says that Mayes possesses the skills to raise the level of performance of all those around him, herself included.
“He’s fantastic,” she said. “My favorite thing as an actor is playing with other actors who are ridiculously talented because you learn from them.”
That’s something to believe in.

THE
If you need anymore evidence of just how easily musical talent can pass from generation to generation, then San Juan Community Theatre is where you want to be, Thursday.
The mother and son duo of Gretchen Gubleman and Beau Borrero are the featured performers in the second installment of the theatre’s Night Music Summer Concert Series. Doors open at 7 p.m. for “social hour”, featuring chocolate desserts, beer and wine, and the music begins at 8 p.m.
Gubelman and Borrero have sang together since the young lad was a baby, and the two say that forming a band seemed only natural. Wielding a pair of acoustic
guitars, the duo pride themselves on a brand of music that’s “folk-funk-funny” and “heartfelt, hilarious and harmoni-ous.”
But there’s still more to the story about art and genera-tions in the backdrop of Thursday’s performance. The duo will be performing in the Gubelman Theatre, named after Gretchen Gubelman’s parents, whom mother and son each credit as their earliest musical inspirations.
The theatre’s Thursday Night Music Summer Concert series runs through Aug. 9, and will showcase a variety of local musicians. Seating is limited to 50; tickets are $10.
The SJCT Box Office is open Tuesdays-Fridays, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturdays 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and one hour before any performance. For more information, 360-378-3210, or www.sjctheatre.org.
