Supporters of the Lopez Solid Waste Plan came before the San Juan County Council on June 5 for the first of several council meetings on the draft oper-ations plan submitted to the council on May 25.

Nobody’s expecting verbal fireworks at the June 5 council meeting, but Sandy Bishop and the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District Advisory Board are preparing to answer tough questions over the next few weeks from the council about the plan to operate the Lopez Island transfer station for reuse, recycling and waste disposal.

“We’re making no assumptions about either the council action or the response of the voters,” said Larry Eppenbach, one of the advisory board

members who worked closely on the plan and budget. “I expect them [the council] to approve it, and we’ll put together a comprehensive voter education and outreach effort” to get the property tax funding approved in November.

County Council Chair Patty Miller, speaking at a Special Meeting of the Solid Waste Subcommittee on March 30, outlined four major subjects the council must tackle over the next several weeks: 1. The roles and responsibilities of the county and the Lopez waste disposal district; 2. Appointment of the advi-sory board, probably from the names already submit-ted; 3. The budget to oper-ate the disposal district and the sources of money to pay the budget; 4. The contents and wording of

For her senior project, Marina Steinbrueck has sat weav-ing strands of hair in and out for over fifty hours.

And the fruit of her labors has yielded a wig to show the laborious task of such an undertaking, which is one side of cancer care.

Steinbrueck isn’t the only one who has put great effort and time into a senior project. Each senior chose a topic that was close to their heart and presented the projects on March 29 at Lopez Island School.

Tak Parelta’s project focused`on the U.S. Navy Seals, McLeod Paton presented the effects of Facebook on teens and Brooke Schober created a kindergarten through 12th grade buddy system.

“I chose this project so that the younger kids could have the chance to spend some time with the ‘big kids’ and the older kids could have the chance to get to know the younger kids,” Schober said. “It has been really fun and it is something that will continue next year, so that will be cool for everyone.”

These unique projects have also become not only an educational experience for each senior, but also a real-world lesson and in some cases a chance to make a buck or two.

Arlen Coiley’s senior project looked at starting, growing and sustaining a small business called Pasta Vera.

“I’ve spent this year learning about how to open and operate a business,” Coiley said. “I’ve combined it with my knowledge of pasta making to create my own fresh pasta manufacturing/selling business. I’m opening at the farm-ers’ market and will also be doing order and delivery.”

Vilina Sanburn-Bill presented on adolescent depres-sion. Hannah Hobi – Washington State laws and the effect on teens. Tommy Kramer – household fires safety. Keldon Jardine – suicide. Angelo Yellow-Cly – water ori-gins. Nathanael Drahn – therapy through music. Bobbi Tangen – effects of losing a significant other or parent. Jamie Cummins – stress: what it is, the effects, and how to manage it. Robbie Christie – maintaining fuel economy by maintaining your vehicle. Sarah Stanley – physical and psychological effects of bullying behavior. Alexa Ogden – the effect on children with parents going through a divorce. Matthew Haber – steps towards sustainability.

“So far the process has been just dandy, all the people of the community I’ve been talking to have been very helpful and insightful,” said Dana Cram, who worked on art on the psyche and how it affects the community. “It was exciting to enlighten everyone else about it, because it’s kind of really awesome.”

IT’S ELECTRIFYING!

opalco celebrates 75 years!

THANKS FOR YOUR FEEDBACK AT THE BROADBAND FORUMSThank you to everyone who attended the five community forums we recently held in partnership with the San Juan County Economic Development Council on Orcas, Shaw, Lopez, and San Juan Island to discuss the countywide broadband initiative. The broadband initiative is still a work in progress and no final decisions have been made, but we were excited to share with you a draft of a possible system design and we’re grateful for the comments and suggestions we heard. This is a brief recap of the presentation and feedback from the forums. A full article is available online.

The four goals of the Broadband Initiative are to:1. Expand OPALCO’s existing data network to allow “Smart Grid” technologies that will enhance reliability of our electrical system and help our members conserve energy.2. Help our local emergency services improve their communications systems by eliminating “dead zones” in their radio coverage. 3. Make high-speed Internet access available to at least 90% of the County. 4. Provide opportunities for cell phone companies to expand their services here in a way that minimizes impact on our beautiful island environment.

The proposed system design involves connecting OPALCO’s existing fiber optic backbone to approximately 100 utility poles throughout the islands. High speed internet (broadband) service would be delivered wirelessly from these poles to local homes and businesses. Emergency services radio facilities could locate on the poles where additional coverage is needed. And, we could provide space and connections on these same poles for cell phone companies who choose to take advantage of this opportunity to increase their coverage.

The proposed system would cost an estimated $16 - $18 million dollars to build, and this cost would be funded through low-interest loans available through the Federal Government. We are considering a financial arrangement in which these loans would be repaid by all OPALCO members through a monthly charge estimated at $5 to $10 per month. The operational costs of the system would be covered by a monthly internet service subscription fee similar to what we pay today.

The input we received at the forums reflects the diversity of opinions in the islands. We heard tremendous support for the initiative, were asked to consider the needs of members who struggle to make ends meet and heard member concerns about potential health effects of wireless technology. We also heard from some local Internet Service Providers who were concerned about how this project might impact their jobs. We heard from members of our emergency services team, including Sheriff Nou, who made it clear that lives are at risk - and some have already been lost - due to the many dead zones where cell phone or radio communication is nonexistent.

We are listening to your feedback carefully, and want to encourage islanders who have thoughts or input to get in touch with us. We are continually working to understand and address the concerns of our fellow islanders as we proceed to investigate the technical and financial viability of this project.

OPALCO is committed to operating transparently, doing what we can to accommodate the interests of our membership, and making sure that we act prudently. We are striving to design a system that would be an investment in our future: one that would serve our needs today, and could also evolve in the decades to come to meet our needs in a rapidly changing world. Ultimately, the decision on whether to move forward will depend on whether the OPALCO Board of Directors believes the initiative is in the long-term interests of the OPALCO membership. Again, thank you to everyone who participated in the forums, and if you didn’t participate, we encourage you to visit our website – www.opalco.com – to keep informed and give us your feedback.

SJPT is new owner of Red Mill Farm

The San Juan Preservation Trust has acquired the 687-acre Red Mill Farm on San Juan, the largest working farm in the San Juan archi-pelago.

Red Mill Farm is located in the heart of San Juan Valley, which contains extremely fertile agricultur-al land. The property was purchased in the 1960’s by Dodie Gann and her late husband, author Ernest Gann.

After donating a 40-acre parcel to the San Juan Preservation Trust in 1980 (the first land trans-action in the organiza-tion’s 33-year history), the Ganns followed up in 1991 by donating a conserva-tion easement on their Red Mill Farm property that restricted future develop-

ment to 13 home sites.The couple’s long com-

mitment to land conserva-tion was spurred to action as they saw important farmland in the valley being carved into small residen-tial parcels. “If you watch it being destroyed, you get protective,” Dodie said. “It gives me a very warm feel-ing to know that long after I’m gone, this will still be here.”

When Gann died in 1991, the property’s ownership was divided in two, with one-half interest going to Dodie Gann and the other half-interest going into a trust that benefited Ernie Gann’s family from a previ-ous marriage. In a series of transactions ending May 18, Dodie Gann donated her half-interest in the property to the San Juan Preservation Trust, which then purchased the other half-interest from the ben-eficiaries of Ernie Gann’s trust for $1 million.

“After years of worry-ing about the future of our farm, it feels like a heavy weight has been lifted from my shoulders,” said Dodie

as she was honored at the trust’s annual meeting on May 19.

While this represents a significant investment in the future of local food pro-duction in the San Juan Islands, there will be no changes in the foreseeable future. Dodie Gann has retained a life estate that allows her to live on the property through her life-time, and Greg Black, who currently manages Red Mill Farm and its cattle operation, will continue in his current role. The trust will assume the responsi-bility for paying property taxes, which will remain unchanged.

When combined with adjacent and nearby farm properties under trust own-ership and conservation easements, the San Juan Preservation Trust has now protected almost 1,000 acres of farmland.

For more info about the acquisition of Red Mill Farm, including a map, plans for the property, and a video clip of Dodie describing her motives for conserving her farm, visit www.sjpt.org.

Leadership San Juan Islands Class VIII held its graduation ceremony June 1, at the San Juan Island Grange in Friday Harbor. The fourteen islanders are: Mikah Smith, Tara Dalton, and Maia Yip from Lopez Island; Foster Hildreth, Meredith Griffith, and Morgan Meadows from Orcas; Bill Severson, Gretchen Staehlin, Gary Franklin, Marjie Harrison, Chelo Carlton, Susan Williamson, Melanie Rollins, and Mike Close from San Juan Island. Keynote speak-ers were Jill Blankenship, Philanthropist and CEO of Frontline Call Center.

Businesses and agencies across the county play parts in the success of the pro-gram. This year the class appreciated significant donations by Smuggler’s Villa and Heartwood House on Orcas, Harrison House

on San Juan Island and Lopez Islander Bay Resort. Each participant was also sponsored in part or wholly by their employer or a local nonprofit. This year we thank the following spon-sors: Whidbey Island Bank, San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau, Lopez Island Prevention Coalition, the San Juan Islands Economic Development Council, San Juan Island Library, San Juan County Health

and Community Services Department, San Juan Island Prevention Coalition, Orcas Power and Light Company, San Juan Island Prevention Coalition, and several anon-ymous donors.

The Cur riculum Committee designs and implements the program and supports the Program Coordinator position, this year shared by Liz Illg and Jim Hooper. The members of the committee for 2012

were Gretchen Krampf, Cynthia Stark-Wickman, Kathleen Foley, Margaret Payne, Steve Hushebeck, Candace Jaegel, and Katie Loring.

Leadership San Juan Islands is a county-wide pro-gram which fosters leader-ship skills such as facilita-tion, collaborative problem

solving, and public speak-ing as well as the analysis of local systems related to governance, economics, social services, history and culture, education and the environment. Participants

are selected in the fall and spend five months together, January through May, with a staff of eight and many regional leaders. For more info, visit www.leadership-sanjuanislands.org/.

Guest Column

Division Assistant Secretary David Moseley and members of his staff will be holding two public meetings on Thursday, June 7. One will be held on the inter-island ferry from 11:35 a.m. until 2 p.m. The second meeting will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. in the San Juan County Council Chambers in Friday Harbor.

The proposed vehicle reservation system will be the sole agenda item for the first meeting and also on the agenda for the second meeting. If implemented, a res-ervation system will significantly impact vehicle travel throughout the San Juan Islands, yet little information about the proposal has been shared with the public to date. Island residents who requested information at the WSF Community Meeting held last December were assured that no decisions would be made without first seeking community input, but there are indicators that much planning has already been done with no participa-tion from any of the island communities.

On Wednesday, May 30, a concerned group of Lopezians met at the Lopez Library meeting room to discuss these upcoming meetings, specifically to identify the questions rep-resentatives of WSF need to be asked about the vehicle reser-vation system, and how to best get the word out to Lopezians about the importance of these two meetings. Several critical

issues were identified, including the following: 1. The WSF website states that a vehicle reservation

system will result in savings to the state of $280 million in capital improvements because it will be possible to avoid expansion of ferry terminals and holding areas, but fails to mention the cost of implementation, such as retrofitting all five terminals that serve the San Juan Islands (which will be extensive in the case of Lopez Island and Shaw Island, if not impossible), and increased ongoing costs for the additional staffing that will be required at all terminals.

2. There is no mention of the fact that system-wide vehicle traffic has been declining over the last 12 years, and there are no current projections suggesting that there will be growth in the foreseeable future. Nor is it acknowledged that, thanks to the significant revisions made in scheduling two years ago, including direct boats to Lopez, Orcas, and San Juan Islands, the number of overloads is far lower than in the past. Before embracing a vehicle reservation system, residents of the San Juan Islands need a cost/benefit analysis that uses real num-bers for both costs and benefits. As taxpayers, we deserve a clear explanation based on facts.

The upcoming meetings are your chance to find out what has been planned, and how you can be part of that process. The first meeting will be aboard the inter-island ferry from 11:25 a.m. until 2 p.m. If you can attend this meeting, plan

to be at the Lopez Terminal at 1:05 p.m. This informal meeting will be a question-and-answer format focused on vehicle reservations. You can be back on Lopez by 3:45 p.m. The second meeting will be in the County Council Chambers in Friday Harbor (55 Second St.), from 5 to 7 p.m. It is possible for Lopezians to attend this meeting in Friday Harbor (take the 3:50 p.m. boat there and return on the 7:45 p.m. boat). You can also attend the meeting virtually. Interactive (two-way) video conferencing will be available in the meeting room at the Lopez library. Questions may be submitted by those attending, via the interactive video conference link to the library. This is just the beginning. You can learn more by subscribing to the San Juan Islands Ferry Group website at https://sjifer-rygroup.wordpress.com/. More activities are planned as a follow-up to the June 7 meetings. You can also write to WSF and share your thoughts. Contact: Joy Goldenberg, WSF communications manager, 206-515-3411, [email protected], or Brian Churchwell, VRS Program Manager, 206-515-3645, [email protected].

– Susan Young is a concerned resident of Lopez Islands, and co-founder of the San Juan Islands Ferry Group which consists of residents of the San Juan Islands who want to be informed about current issues related to the ferry system and who want to work with the Ferry Advisory Committee and the Washington State Ferry system to find solutions to on-going challenges.

the ballot measure creating and funding the district.

The council will take up the Lopez pro-posal after being presented a petition with 1,478 signatures of Lopez residents seeking establishment of the new solid waste dis-trict. Of those signatures, 962 were certified by County Auditor Milene Henley as signa-tures of registered voters, which amounts to 51.9 percent of San Juan County’s 1,853 registered voters.

In addition to introducing Sandy Bishop, Bruce Creps, Larry Eppenbach, Dan Post and Page Read as nominees for the dis-posal district board, the June 5 hearing will include a “second touch” presentation by County Prosecutor Randy Gaylord describ-ing the ordinance to modify the present San Juan County Solid Waste District and cre-

ate the Lopez Waste Disposal District. The council has tentatively scheduled

a discussion of the budget of the Lopez disposal district for its regular meeting on June 12. At the March 30 Solid Waste Subcommittee meeting, all three council members present (Miller, Rich Peterson and Jamie Stephens) agreed that “the bud-get numbers” had to make sense and be realistic.

Sandy Bishop looks forward to “a good collaborative effort” by the council and her Lopez group on the budget. She says she’s “confident” that Eppenbach, long-time Lopez facility manager Neil Hansen and the “budget team” have produced a solid, realistic budget that can be used as the basis for asking Lopez voters to enact the property tax portion of the funding package necessary to operate the facility.

On Thursday, June 12, the County Council will have the opportunity to agree or disagree.

It’s Raf fle Quilt time again! Raf fle Quilts mean additional funds for the Senior Center, thanks to the members of Enchanted Quilters.

It was the desire to raise funds for the Senior Services that brought quilters togeth-er on Lopez in 1984. Later they would take on the name Enchanted Quilters.

Those first mem-bers were Marge Gradl, Gladys Alexander (of Shaw Island), Frances Currier, Bertha Kurutz, Wini Alexander, Edith Schwendeman, Charlotte

The horse walks slowly towards you and sniffs. The horse understands you and knows your feel-ings. Slowly you lift your hands to its head and begin to stroke its mane.

You just took a step towards building a relation-ship with your horse, which is the first step in Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy.

Kristin Fernald, who graduated with her masters in psychology from Antioch University in 1990, received her certification for Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy last fall.

Now, Fernald has finally found a way to incorporate both her passions into one.

“I have been a horse woman all my life,” said Fernald, who grew up riding horses.

Once she settled down and had children, her daughter also rode horses. However, once her daugh-

ter left for college, Fernald needed another excuse to follow her love of horses. As a result Fernald decid-ed to get her certification in EFP.

Fernald explains that EFP is all about the mak-ing the connection with horses. The relationship

Born in Seattle to par-ents of Puerto Rican and Irish ancestry, Savannah Fuentes has been shar-ing her love for the art of Flamenco with north-west audiences for the past seven years.

She has presented over 80 performances, workshops, and school programs fea-turing internationally rec-ognized Flamenco artists in Washington and Oregon.

A festival provides com-munities with an oppor-tunity to experience live

authentic Flamenco as well as a chance to take introductory level classes with the featured artists. Fuentes will be joined by third generation Gypsy guitarist Pedro Cortes and Valencia-native, singer/d a n c e r / p e r c u s s i o n i s t , Oscar Valero. They will perform three shows on different islands and give one day of intensive work-shops on San Juan Island.

On June 8, the show is coming to the Lopez Center for Community and the Arts, 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $18, or $8 for youth, and are available at www.brownpapapertickets.com and Lopez Bookshop.

SEE HORSE, pagE 8

Thousands of herring just one to two months old were seen schooling around the Fisherman Bay docks over the Memorial Day weekend. Local volunteers working for the Lopez-based conservation nonprofit Kwiáht have found that young herring this size are the preferred summer prey of juvenile chinook and coho salmon.

Herring spawn-ing in the San Juan Islands fell sharply since the 1960s as a result of over fishing. Shoal Bay and Mud Bay were once sig-nificant herring spawning areas but produce few young herring today. Most of the herring seen in the islands in recent years come from the late-spawning Cherry Point popula-tion near Bellingham, which now may be threatened by expansion of refineries and coal shipments.

Kwiáht’s Russel Barsh explains that island herring are beginning to recover where there are dense thickets of eelgrass

or else the non-native brown seaweed sargassum.

“It seems to make little difference to herring,” Barsh said.

Sargassum may be replacing the func-tion of lost eelgrass meadows.

Barsh says the Memorial Day flush of herring is a good sign, although it remains unclear whether these “babies” hatched from eggs laid within Fisherman Bay, or in the lush eelgrass beds that remain outside the bay. In either case, the Memorial Day

herring flush indicates the importance of improving conditions in the bay, especially holding the line on anchoring, road runoff and chemical contamination.

Herring spawned on the Eastsound waterfront in 2011 and 2012, showing that herring habitat can be sustained in the more developed parts of the county.

For more info, contact Russel Barsh at [email protected].

“Boats, Goats and Fancy Floats has been selected as the theme for the July 4th Lopez Parade,” said Diana Hancock, President of the Lopez Lions Club. “We believe everyone can have fun with this theme. It rep-resents our maritime heri-tage, our agricultural roots and the fun of the 4th.”

David Perera, co-chair of the parade, encourages everyone to participate in the parade.

“The more participation in the parade, the better it is. And there are many awards too,” he added.

The Lopez Lions Club has coordinated the parade and Fun Run/Walk for more than 30 years.

“These events, along with the Fireworks, are major activities for the day’s cel-ebration,” said Ron Hall, co-chair of the parade. “We want people, locals and visi-tors alike, to have a fun time and good memories of time on Lopez.”

Norma and Bill Brimmer have been chosen as the Grand Marshalls for the Parade. The couple has been very active on Lopez, especially with the Lopez Thrift Shop, since the mid-1980s. Bill was a driving force behind the acquisition of the property and new building for the Shop. Also, they have volunteered at the Lopez Library, the Golf Club, the Birthday Club,

and the Senior Center. They were Lopez Spirit Award honorees in 2006.

The parade will follow the same route as last year, beginning on Fisherman Bay Road just south of The Lopez Islander Resort and Marina, going through the Village, past the Bank on Weeks Road to the Post Office and then around the corner to the Community Center where it ends. Parade registration will begin at 9 am. The parade begins promptly at 11 a.m.

If you have an interest in assisting with the parade, contact either Ron Hall at [email protected] or David Perera at [email protected].

that you make with this 1,000 pound animal can be very powerful.

There are three things one should understand about horses, according to Fernald.

First is that in a preda-tor versus prey relationship, horses are considered prey. Fear comes before trust with these animals.

Therefore, a relationship with a horse must grow before it can trust. In build-ing that relationship humans not only learn about their own fear, but also learn a lot more about trust.

Second, horses are very emotional animals. Humans and horses both have a limbic system in their brain. Among other things, the limbic system is in charge of the emo-tions we feel.

In general, humans are prone to shut that area of

the brain off. Horses, on the other hand, are so in tuned with emotions they even know what humans are feel-ing. They can sense when actions are not congruent to inner feelings.

Through EFP, people learn to better connect with

those emotions. Third, horses are a herd

animal. In nature they are part of a community and work in groups. EFP gives people the ability to bet-ter work with others and teaches them to know how to get along with others

with ease. “It is a very rewarding

field to be in,” Fernald said. “EFP teaches people to understand where their energy is at and helps you know yourself better.”

Fernald has named her practice “Journeys through

Wholeness” and will also be offering private lessons with her horses for “From the Ground Up,” learning the basics of horsemanship this summer.

She will also be offering small groups and private sessions with her horses for Equine Facilitated Therapy.
