‘Label It Washington’ Submitted by GMO-Free

The public is invited to a Community Conversation with Steve Crider, 6:30 – 8 p.m. on Thursday, October

10 at the Port Stanley School. Join the Lopez Locavores and GMO-Free San Juans for this fact-filled evening concerning Washington state Initiative 522. Learn about the issues surrounding the labeling of GMO’s and what this initia-tive will do. Come with your comments and questions.

Steve Crider, currently the Liaison for Government & Industry Affairs for the organic food company Amy’s Kitchen will speak. He also serves as the co-leader for Yes on 522 for Skagit and Whatcom Counties. Steve has over 30 years of experience working in the natural and

organic food industry and was the founding member of the Just Label It cam-paign, working since 2011 on GMO labeling issues with the FDA and Obama Administration.

The Yes on 522 Initiative was put on the ballot after a statewide petition cam-paign garnered more than 340,000 signatures – the second largest number of signatures in the state’s his-tory for a public initiative.

Families, local farmers, ranchers and orchardists, small business owners, and consumer rights groups throughout Washington signed so that voters can affirm their right to know what’s in their food.

Over 93 percent of Americans polled nation-wide agree that we have the right to know what’s in our food.

I-522 would require labels on genetically engineered foods, which can include sweet corn chips, cold cere-als, candy, breads, soy prod-ucts and soft drinks and, if approved, salmon and apples. American compa-nies already label genetical-ly engineered food that they export to 64 other countries that require labeling.

As we enter the last months before the vote, millions is being spent on advertising efforts. It’s important to get facts in order to make your own decision for your vote.

Yes on 522 has raised over $3 million from over 7,000 donors with nearly 80% located in Washington. The opposition campaign, No on 522, is funded entire-ly by 6 out of state big food and pesticide corporations and NO individuals.

Weekly’s Q&A: Port Commissioner candidates position 3

Q&A with Bob PorterWEEKLY: Can you give

readers a brief bio?Bob Porter: Former

Commissioner, Port of Lopez. Active current mem-ber consultant, Washington Public Ports Association and former member Board of Trustees. Retired Lopez Island Representative, San Juan Ferry Advisor y Committee. Charter mem-ber, past service San Juan Economic Development

Council. SJC Land Bank Steward. Army Veteran, Korea. Lopez Island High School Accreditation Committee, Northwest Schools and Colleges Association. College Entrance Examination Board. President, Rotary International. Board of Directors, Washington Interscholastic Activities Association. Retired high school teacher, coach, coun-selor and principal. Staff

instructor, Baylor University. Undergraduate degree biochemistry, Western Washington University. Graduate degrees, University of Washington.

WEEKLY: Why are you running for the port?

BP: I am entering this election at the request and urging of many members of the community. I have a long and successful proven record in public service and an extensive background in

management and as a facili-tator.

As a recipient of the Washington Public Ports Association Award for signifi-cant and meaningful contri-butions to the Port Industry, I bring a positive balance to the Board. I do not represent any special interest group or Political Action Committee and have represented the entire diverse community fairly, impartially and hon-estly.

My wife, Barbara, and I have owned property on Lopez since the mid 60’s and there is no place that we would rather live.

I believe that because of

my background, training and experience I can contribute meaningfully to this commu-nity and continue to build a Port District that will be suc-cessful and provide a needed service to the community. Airport safety, security, and promotion of Island busi-nesses, volunteer and youth organizations and coopera-tion with the Lopez Island Solid waste Disposal District, where legal and appropriate, as well as the location of a marine facility that has the support of the community are reasonable and attainable goals that I support. Your confidence and vote is appre-ciated.

Q&A with Dan PostWEEKLY: Can you give

readers a brief bio?Dan Post: I was born and

raised here. I went to Lopez School for 12 years and then served in the military for sev-eral years.

I raised my children here, and owned and operated Lopez Island Freight for 25 years.

As a small business owner, I want Lopez to maintain a healthy and diverse economy. Lopez Island is my home, always has been and always will be.

WEEKLY: Why are you running for the port?

DP: I am currently one of your Port Commissioners and have been for almost 20 years. When I was first appointed one of my goals was to make the Port self supporting financially and not just dependant on Property Tax revenue. When I started, the Port had only a few thousand dollars in the bank and had very little income other than the tax revenue. Now the Port has income from hang-er rents, hanger ground leases, storage rents, and cell tower rents, and has

close to a half million dollars in its savings accounts.

I am running to be your Port Commissioner because I believe that transparency is needed for honest and open government. The Port must continue to keep a safe and well maintained airport. And, Ports have the authority to do many other things like assist in job creation, devel-op parks, and expand into marine activities. I am asking for your vote to help move the Port of Lopez ahead to benefit all of the people of Lopez Island.

Port Commissioners will hold office for four years. Ballots will be mailed Oct. 18. Election day is Nov. 5 The Weekly asks Port Commissioner candidates two questions:

Doctors at Harborview Medical Center are call-ing OPALCO’s injured Journeyman Lineman Kevin Zoerb the “Miracle Man.”

Kevin had a successful surgery on his hand, which was burned in the accident on Sept. 20 when he came into contact with a high volt-age line.

The prognosis is good, although he still has chal-lenges ahead, said OPALCO in a recent press release.

He will have several addi-tional surgeries and remain in the burn center for at least another month.

The family has set up a Caring Bridge site (www.caringbridge.org/visit/kev-inzoerb) to provide updates as they occur and a way to send messages to Kevin and his family.

A “Zoerb Family Fund” has been set up at Islanders Bank to help with expens-es. Donations to the Fund can be made through any Islanders Bank branch.

The OPALCO Board has committed $3,000 to the fund and would like to invite our members to join in

making donations, in order to meet the family’s needs over the coming months.

A formal investigation of the accident is underway.

OPALCO says they have a strong safety education and training program led by an industry expert,

Jeff Myers of Columbia Rural Electric Association. OPALCO’s safety commit-tee meets monthly to review safety issues and provide training to both outside and inside staff.

Stay tuned to www.island-sweekly.com and click on

the “news” tab for info about Zoerb’s condition.

Are you ready for

Fall?

It’s that time of year – Halloween, Thanksgiving, and once again, the Lopez Island Hospice and Home Support Jingle Bell Dinner.

Bring your family and guests to the fifth annual Jingle Bell Dinner Saturday, Nov. 30, 6 p.m. at the Lopez Community Center – a great time for a great cause.

Experience elegant food and wine by Kristin and Tim Shea of The Bay (who can forget the cheesecake from last year?). Enjoy holiday entertainment by Ginny Keith and Gary Alexander, and Baroque music by Sand Dalton and friends. And make your holiday shopping easy this year with exciting gifts and experiences at the Silent Auction.

Tickets are $50, available exclusively at Paper Scissors on the Rock. All proceeds from the Jingle Bell Dinner will benefit Lopez Island Hospice & Home Support.

“The Jingle Bell Dinner is our major fundraiser for the year,” said Trevor Bryant, president of the Lopez Island Hospice & Home Support board of directors. “We hope to attract a lot of Lopezians who are in a festive and of course generous mood.”

This year special emphasis has been placed on acquiring great items for the silent auction, including a “Seattle Spree” with tickets on Kenmore Air, passes to the Seattle Art Museum and dinner for two at Tom Douglas’ Serious Pie; a beautiful turned wood bowl by TJ Anderson; and a print by world renowned photographer Imogen Cunningham.

“We’ve had a lot of fun collecting auction items this year,” said Fons Wynen, chair of the Auction Committee. “We’re hoping people bid high to benefit this worthy cause.”

“We want to sell out again this year,” said Bryant. “Get your tickets early.”

Lopez Island Hospice and Home Support has provided the Lopez community with professional case management, chore and respite service, caregiver and loss support groups, durable medical equipment loans, and a resource library for caregivers since 1997. All services are offered without charge to the client.

For more information or if you’d like to volunteer for the evening, contact Lynne Keeley at 468-4446, [email protected].

Who Says GM Food Is Safe?

Now that the chemical companies’ media attack has begun on Initiative 522, expect to hear the refrain, “Genetically modified food is perfectly safe.”

But who says GM food is safe? The same chemical companies that told us DDT, PCBs and Dioxin were per-fectly safe.

Can anyone find one long-term, double-blind, indepen-dent study showing GMOs are safe? You won’t, even at the FDA, because none were required.

The decision at the FDA to permit the introduction of

GMOs into the food supply was made by Michael Taylor, a political appointee, against the objections of the FDA’s own scientists. Prior to the FDA, Taylor worked as one of the principal lawyers at Monsanto.

Conversely, all the long-term, independent animal studies–e.g., Pusztai in the UK (1999), Seralini in France (2008), Vlieger in the U.S. (2013) – have reported seri-ous problems – cancer, infer-tility, intestinal disorders – and raised questions about the effect of GM food on human health.

Instead of heeding these warnings, the response of the companies responsible for

these novel foods has been to shoot the messengers.

Consider the case of Dr. Arpad Pusztai, a well-respect-ed scientist at the prestigious Rowett Institute in Scotland with over 300 peer-reviewed articles to his credit.

When he sounded the alarm about the foreign pro-teins in GM food, he was bru-tally and viciously attacked by the biotech industry. The industry literally tried to destroy him.

Similarly, when Seralini reported massive tumors, organ damage, and reproduc-tive problems in his study of lab rats, the biotech indus-try mounted a furious attack. But Seralini countered that

he had merely replicated the biotech industry’s own study in every detail but one: his ran two-years, not 90 days.

In effect, the industry was attacking its own study.

If biotech corporations want us to believe that GM foods are safe, why haven’t they sub-jected them to long-term, inde-pendent, double-blind, animal testing before releasing them for human use?

Until that happens, let’s give everyone in this state the option to choose what kind of food they want to buy for themselves and their families.

REDUCE • REUSE • RECYCLE

By Islands Energy CoalitionThanks to competent, com-

mitted staff and board leader-ship, OPALCO has emerged as a strong organization. In the 75 years since its incep-tion, OPALCO has overcome incredible technical, financial and geographical challenges to expand electrical service to its members.

The bedrock of OPALCO’s local success has been Bonneville Power Administration who sup-plied cheap, reliable hydro-power to meet OPALCO’s growing needs.

Looking forward, OPALCO and its members, are in for an exciting ride as the bedrock of BPA’s cheap, plentiful power is no lon-ger there. BPA’s rates are rising (over 8 percent next year and more beyond) and OPALCO’s increased demand for power will likely be met, not by BPA’s cheap hydro, but rather through purchase from volatile elec-tricity market at much high-er prices.

So what will OPALCO’s “new chapter” look like?

Is it broadband? Broadband is under-

standably appealing to OPALCO as the “new chap-ter” because of its familiar story line: expanding net-work infrastructure despite technical, financial and geo-graphical challenges.

But broadband is an entirely different beast. Unlike electricity distribution which offers OPALCO a nat-ural monopoly, broadband is known for its intense compe-tition and fast-changing tech-nology. Broadband involve-ment therefore requires cau-tious prudence and broad-based community endorse-ment to ensure OPALO’s financial and social capital is not put at risk.

Where else can OPALCO apply its talents and lever-age its assets to take on new challenges while contribut-ing to the county’s econom-ic development?

Given OPALCO’s estab-lished distribution grid, we suggest the new OPALCO chapter’s primary focus is not about hardware, but rather software and “peopleware”? In addition to laying down wire and making prudent capital investments, now is the time to: redesign the tariff structure to be more cost-reflective and conducive to conservation, offer incen-tives for community solar generation, and invest in green jobs and the local economy through energy

efficiency and homegrown energy.

OPALCO can leverage its social capital and access to its members to engage them not as passive consum-ers, but rather as active col-laborating partners, energy co-producers and creative shaper of electricity load.

OPALCO can incubate and cultivate a new breed of architects and retrofit crews to create and incor-porate green designs and help homeowners lower their bills.

OPALCO’s business can evolve beyond wire servic-es, in partnership with local nonprofits and businesses, to deliver complete one-stop energy services and solutions from consulting to financing.

The benefits of the “local green energy vision” is so clear and numerous, including:

• lower bills (from plug-ging leaks)

• lower OPALCO elec-tricity rates (from reduced need to buy electricity at expensive market rates)

• increased jobs and expanded businesses in local energy efficiency and

green energy production.• re-circulating saved

money and investments in our local economy

• economic development with multiplier effects, and

• improved energy self-sufficiency which includes environmental benefits that positively affect climate change.

As OPALCO members, we are ready to be part-ners of OPALCO’s new direction. Together, we will evolve our relationship with energy from “consumers of commodity” (I can pay, and therefore I consume) towards becoming co-stew-ards of this shared, precious resource through an uncer-tain future.

Let’s participate in co-writing OPALCO’s new chapter to be about collabo-ration, green economy and resiliency.

Islands Energy Coalition (islandsenergy.wordpress.com) is a volunteer-based group of energy enthusiasts with an interest in commu-nity discussions, solutions and empowerment towards a happy, resilient energy future for the San Juan Islands.

By The Lopez Island Family Resource CenterSpecial to the Islands’ Weekly

The Lopez Island Family Resource Center has signed a contract with the Whatcom Association for Health Advancement, which is contracted by the state to help enroll uninsured people in the state exchange for federally-mandated Affordable Health Care. The Lopez Island Family Resource Center and The Lopez Island Medical Clinic have trained staff to assist uninsured island community members in navigating the Washington Health Benefits Exchange website, and they will be meeting to collaborate on how best to serve the island in transitioning to this new healthcare system.

Registration for the Washington Health Exchange will begin on Oct. 1, 2013, and it is mandated by state law in order to comply with the Affordable Care Act signed into national law in 2010. The state health care exchange poli-cies are effective Jan. 1, 2014. People have until March 31,

2014 to register for the insurance-for-all program; after that date, they will incur penalties.

Even if you have previously been denied Medicaid and have been unable to buy a health plan, you may now be eli-gible for free or low-cost health insurance. Here are some examples of cost estimates:

• A family of four making less than $32,500 can qualify for free health coverage.

• A family of four making up to $40,000 can qualify for an estimated $985 in tax credits per month.

• A family of four making up to $90,000 can qualify for an estimated $436 in tax credits per month.

To determine whether you and your family qualify for free insurance or a subsidy to reduce the cost of insurance, go to www.wahealthplanfinder.org/calculator/index.html.

If the search tells you that you are Medicaid eligible, you will pay nothing for your insurance premiums. If

“New chapter” of OPALCO we wish to see

Margaret Ann Jenison, 81, of Lopez Island, Wash., passed away peacefully at Life Care Center of Skagit Valley in Sedro-Woolley, Wash., on Monday, Sept. 23, 2013 surrounded by her family. She was born on Oct. 26, 1931 in Bellingham, Wash., the daughter of Norman W. and Anna M. (Bergman) Hodgson. Margaret Ann was raised on Argyle Road on San Juan Island until the age of three.

When her grandfather, Norman P. Hodgson, of Lopez Island, became seri-ously ill, Norman W, Anna and Margaret Ann moved to Richardson on Lopez to assume responsibility of daily operations of the fam-ily farm.

As a teenager, she worked one summer on the floating cannery and later in life worked as the Lopez School cook for sev-eral years. Margaret Ann

married Robert Edward Jenison in 1948, and they lived most of their lives on Lopez Island, except for a short five months in Seattle. They came back to Lopez to farm and purchased a 70 acre farm behind the school where they raised Holstein Heifers.

Margaret Ann loved her home and raising her three children, Richard, Julie Ann, and Shelley. Margaret Ann enjoyed gardening and was active in Lopez Garden Club, as well as the Lopez Union Cemetery Association and Lopez Historical Society. She was also one of the found-ing members of the Lopez Island Grace Episcopal Church.

After 63 years of mar-riage, her beloved Bob passed away in July of 2011.

Bob and Margaret Ann’s daughter Julie Ann passed away in March of 1984.

Margaret Ann was a ded-icated and loving mother and grandmother. She is survived by her children and spouses, Richard and Mary Jenison of Lopez Island, Wash., and Shelley and Lindol Larkin of Lynnwood, Wash. She is also survived by her four grandchildren, Amy Hatchel, Rachael Munroe, Timothy Larkin and Devin Larkin and eight great-grandchildren.

As a fourth generation Pioneer family on Lopez Island, Margaret Ann leaves the seventh Generation of her family to live in the Richardson area of Lopez Island.

A funeral service was held at 2 p.m., Monday,

Sept. 30, 2013 at Grace Episcopal Church on Lopez with burial at Lopez Union Cemetery. Memorials may be made in Margaret Ann’s name to the Lopez Union Cemetery Association. Arrangements are in the care of Evans Funeral Chapel and Crematory, Inc., Anacortes, WA and the San Juan Islands.

Clarence W. Estenson passed away on Sept. 14, 2013, approaching his 99th birthday in December. He was born in Sarles, North Dakota, the sixth child of Christian and Bertha Estenson. He was preced-ed in death by his daugh-ter, Barbara Estenson, wife Alice Estenson and all eight of his siblings.

He is survived by his daughters; Colleen Biggs and Arletta Mansfield both of Lopez Island; five grand-

children and 11 great grand children. Clarence enjoyed life on Lopez, golfing, fish-ing and playing bridge. During the last several years he played cribbage with wonderful volunteers from Hospice and Home support.

Clarence left North Dakota as a young man and settled in Oregon. He worked as a logger for 15 years. In the early 50’s the family moved to Seattle and he entered the build-

ing trade and became a contractor building custom homes. In 1973 he came to Lopez to build a home for a friend. He purchased prop-erty and built a cabin for vacations. The cabin was expanded and became Alice and Clarence’s permanent home in 1987.

At Clarence’s request there were no services. Donations in his memo-ry can be made to Lopez Island Hospice and Home Support.

When opera emerged in the 16th century, did audience members think this music would still be performed 450 years later? With the invention of so many mediums that produce a wide array of music, it is somewhat of a miracle that opera man-aged to survive century after century.

For Orcas classical soprano Sharon Abreu, the value of keeping this music alive is just part of what makes her passionate about opera.

“For me, more than the historical importance is the

joy of it. Styles of music have gone out of the reper-toire and then were redis-covered many years later,” she said. “I feel lucky to live in a time where you can get

up and perform any style of music, and there’s cen-turies of great repertoire to choose from.”

Abreu, shown left, will present “Sun, Moon, Stars and Rainbows: classical songs and arias to delight and inspire” at Lopez Center on Friday Oct. 4 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults, $8 for students.

Marianne Lewis will accompany Abreu on the piano and Linda Slone will join for several songs on the flute.

Abreu has sung as a solo-ist with Orchestra Seattle and the Seattle Chamber Singers, and with the Orcas Choral Society. She has recently been appointed the vocal coach for the Society. She also starred in the musi-cal “The Taffetas” at Orcas

Center. Abreu and her part-ner Michael Hurwicz have participated in benefit con-certs for KLOI. This will be Abreu’s second full-length concert on Lopez

The local soprano will offer an array of songs and arias in English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, and Czech, from Mozart and Puccini, to Samuel Barber and Jake Heggie, with a dash of operetta and Broadway. Abreu even reaches back to “Sweet Bird” from Handel’s “Il Penseroso,” which was composed in 1740, the year before he composed the “MESSIAH.”

Orcas flutist Linda Slone will be featured on “Sweet Bird” and Gounod’s “Sing, Smile and Slumber.

“Many of the songs are under three minutes and I think of them like little piec-es of candy that you savor and then they just melt away,” said Abreu.

The Lobos soccer team had their most productive game of the season at home against Bear Creek Christian Sept. 25.

In an 8-3 loss, the Lobos got goals from Axel Rendon and Cosmos Cordova.

Cordova’s second goal came after Fletcher Moore took the ball the length of the field and passed to Cordova in front of the Grizzlies net.

Lopez played even with Bear Creek through the first half, which ended with Bear Creek up by only one goal, 3-2.

In the second half, the Grizzlies’ ability to substitute from their 19-man roster proved too much for the Lobos’ 11-person squad, all of whom played the entire game.

Goalie Will Fields made save after save throughout the game.

Lopez has six more home matches; see www.lopezislandschool.org/calen-dar/sports for a complete schedule.
