Lopez Island journeyman lineman Kevin Zoerb has returned to work following an arduous journey of sur-geries and healing for injuries he received when coming into contact with a high voltage line in September 2013. Dubbed the “Miracle Man” at Harborview Medical Center, Kevin has made a remarkable recovery.

“We are thrilled to welcome Kevin back to work,” said Foster Hildreth, general manager. “Kevin is a veteran lineman; he and his family are impor-tant members of the OPALCO family.”

OPALCO is committed to support-ing Kevin as he regains his strength and transitions back into the trade.

A “Zoerb Family Fund” has been set up at Islanders Bank to help with expenses. Donations to the fund can be made through any Islanders Bank branch. The OPALCO board has com-mitted $3,000 to the fund and would like to invite members to make dona-tions in order to meet the family’s needs over the coming months.

“We expect to see him back in full force within a year. OPALCO’s safety program will provide additional train-ing opportunities to make sure this type of accident never happens again and to ensure the safety and confi-dence of all of our operations staff,” say OPALCO staff.

A formal investigation of the acci-dent is underway. The co-op has a strong safety education and training program led by an industry expert, Jeff Myers of Columbia Rural Electric Association. OPALCO’s safety com-mittee meets monthly to review safety issues and provide training to both outside and inside staff.

A community BBQ is scheduled on Friday, Oct. 3 from 12 – 3 p.m. at the Lopez Crew Station to celebrate Kevin’s amazing story and return to work. Hamburgers, hot dogs and all the fixings will be provided.

All are welcome.

“Uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it. Uh-huh, uh-huh, that’s the way.” Feel that groove? You will. On Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m., Super Wide Groove will play its annual dance party, and Lopez Center will rock.

Unlike most bands, Super Wide Groove was a name before it was a group. As founder Bill Johnson tells it,

“A friend of mine observed the slotted paneling on the side of a barn and comment-ed, ‘That is really a super, wide groove.’ I thought, ‘What a great name for a band!’” After securing the domain name and creating a website and a poster, Bill went in search of musical tal-ent to fulfill his vision of a soul, funk and motown cover band. He found it in vocal-ists Kenny Ferrugiaro, Susie

Teague, and Nick Teague; Colin Doherty on bass, Beth Geever at the keyboards, and Todd Goldsmith on per-cussion and vocals. Bill fills out the band on guitar and vocals. The group operates in an environment of open-ness, egos left at the door. Everyone in the band con-tributes to the musical selec-tions and arrangements.

The band’s groove is as super powerful as it is wide. At last year’s dance party, numbers like KC and the Sunshine Band’s “Get Down Tonight” and James Brown’s “I Feel Good” had the entire center boogying. Slow songs like Smokey Robinson’s “Ooh

Baby Baby” allowed folks to catch their breath, but the feet never stopped moving. Says Bill, “I started the band to share the music that I and a zillion Baby Boomers grew up listening to.” The crowd’s reaction last year bears this out: most songs were recog-nized from the opening lick, and greeted like old friends.

Besides the seven core members, Super Wide Groove shares the stage on several songs with tem-porary members who par-ticipate in specific rehearsals. This year’s lineup includes singers Dylan Weber and

Back to schoolIt’s back to school time and

the Lopez Island Education Foundation is asking for com-munity support to help fund teacher grants, student field trips and travel, intensive

courses, the school garden, and other interesting oppor-tunities and programs that enhance our students’ learn-ing and go beyond the class-room.

You will receive in your mailbox a letter from the Lopez Island Education Foundation asking for your support. The foundation rec-ognizes that your tax dollars go to support the school, that you may have recently put

school supplies into the bins at the bank or grocery store, and that you will likely be asked for support by clubs and organizations for school-related fundraisers such as talent shows or spaghetti feeds. Thank-you as all this goes to helping our students and school.

But there still remains a large financial need to pay field trip expenses, pro-vide classroom equipment, purchase garden supplies, and support projects in the school. The foundation helps to fill those needs thanks to financial contributions from those in our community.

So fellow Lopez Islanders

(full-time, part-time, guests, and businesses), please con-tinue your support this year.

Read the letter as it explains what the foundation wants to fund.

Write out your check or donate online at lopezisland-educationfoundation.org.

And the arithmetic adds up to providing a quality education for our students. Regardless of whether you have children in Lopez Schools or not, providing a quality education for Lopez Island students carries with it a multiplier effect in mak-ing your community stron-ger. All contributions make a difference and are greatly appreciated. We are all work-ing together to provide our students with a great, well-rounded education.

The foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that supports Lopez Schools through community contri-

butions. Donations are tax-deductible.

The power of schol-arship

Howdy folks from Lopez Island. Pat Roe, Jeanna Carter, Charlie Washburn, and I, Joe Dye, are board members of the new Lopez Island Community Scholarship Fund and we are ambitiously endeavoring to raise $60,000 for our 2015 graduating seniors aspir-ing to higher education and

career dreams. We hope to receive enough to award two $25,000 scholarships to be used toward four-year degrees and an additional $10,000 for scholarships of smaller amounts which can be applied to assistance for various educational pursuits. All scholarships awarded can be applied for academic or vocational programs (certain stipulations and requirements apply-continuous enrollment and GPA, for example). Pat Roe, a 50-year resident, con-ceived this plan and orga-nized it as a tax exempt fund. Additionally, this fund will absorb remaining scholar-ship money from the Lopez Dollars for Scholars, keeping the management of the schol-arship funds at the local level. We have various fund raising activities in the works ... stay tuned.

Visit our website to view the Contributor Fact Sheet, board member biographies, contact information and more. That website is: lope-zscholarships.org. Any dona-tion amount is valuable and our seniors will benefit for a lifetime. Right now dona-tions can be sent payable to: LICSF, P.O. Box 111, Lopez Island, WA 98261.

Garlic mustard is a flow-ering herb that was intro-duced to North America from Europe as a food and medicinal plant. Although edible for humans, it is not eaten by local wildlife or insects. It is a fast growing, damaging invasive weed that once established is dif-ficult to eradicate. It is a biennial or winter annual

herb that spreads prolifi-cally by seed. It can cross-pollinate or self-pollinate and quickly out competes native vegetation. Garlic mustard grows well under many different conditions and has the ability to pro-duce chemicals that inhibit the growth of other plants and mychorrizal fungi need-ed for healthy tree seedling survival and tree growth. Garlic mustard is a Class A noxious weed with a limited

distribution in Washington, and eradication is required state-wide. It is also on the Washington quarantine or prohibited plants list and is prohibited to transport, buy, sell, offer for sale or to dis-tribute. It has been found overtaking a private garden near Eastsound on Orcas.

First-year garlic mustard is a low growing rosette with rounded kidney shaped, scalloped edged leaves.

Garlic mustard looks similar in appearance to the non-native and common nip-plewort, (Lapsana commu-nis), however garlic mus-tard leaves are not fuzzy or hairy like nipplewort. Second-year plants typical-ly grow to three feet tall, but can be a few inches to over six feet tall. The upper leaves on each stem become more triangular and smaller toward the top of the plant.

They are coarsely toothed, and often smell like garlic when crushed. The flowers are small and white with four petals and appear in early spring in clusters at the top of the stem. Plants are usually single stemmed but if crushed or cut they will develop multiple stems. Roots typically have a char-acteristic s-shaped bend.

First-year rosettes are usually noted in midsum-mer through the follow-ing spring and then the plant bolts into the upright mature stage in late April though May; seed produc-tion rapidly follows. Since garlic mustard can toler-ate a wide range of light, soil, moisture and terrain conditions, it can be found anywhere. Seeds are small and easily spread by ani-mals, people, and vehicles and also by water, birds and other vectors. Seeds can last in the soil for up to 10 years.

Control is very difficult so identification is most impor-

tant so that the plants can be removed before established and infestations can be pre-vented. Hand pulling plants is effective if the entire root is removed. If plants are flowering or seeding, they must be bagged and discarded in the garbage. Care must be taken to clean clothing, shoes and tools to avoid carrying the seeds to new sites. After pulling, it

may help to cover dense infestations of garlic mus-tard with wood chip mulch to reduce germination of seeds left behind. Infested sites should then be moni-tored closely for new plants.

If you suspect you have found garlic mustard, call the SJC Noxious Weed Board at 376-3499.

Friends of the San Juans wishes to thank the 29 volunteers from Orcas, Lopez, San Juan, and Shaw Islands as well as LUSH Seattle store volunteers who participated in a shoreline work party at Fossil Bay on Sucia Island. Following a boat ride to Sucia and an overview of the value of beaches to surf smelt and salmon everyone got right to work clearing litter from over a mile of beach; conducting five surf smelt egg surveys and removing rock from 1,500 square feet of surf smelt spawning habitat. The Fossil Bay beach is one of the latest identified as a smelt spawning beach in San Juan County. FRIENDS and Washington State Parks are working together to develop multiple shoreline projects on Sucia Island.

This fall, 13 Lobos will be hitting the court ready to bump, set and spike their way through another volleyball season.

For coach Jeremiah Johnson this year will mark another exciting opportunity for the team. He sums up last year’s playing in one word, “great.”

This is the third year Johnson will be coaching the Lopez Island High School volleyball team. His favorite part of watching the team develop is seeing the girls become part of a team. In fact team spirit is what he likes best about volleyball.

As far as strengths for this year’s team, Johnson points to a full team with players that know the game as well as new players ready to get their hands on a volleyball.

“Our senior players are a great strength and we have some quick-learning freshmen players,” he said. As for goals for this season, Johnson’s plan is to make

sure the girls learn something new and fall in love with the sport.

“We will learn some drills, play a new modi-fied offense, have a ton of fun and be a team,” he said.

This year’s team consists of Ashi Bartolucci, Uhane Johnson, Anah-Kate Drahn, Ani Sanburn-Bill, Claire Roberson, Jana Gruenwald, Nora Zapalac, Mikayla Johnson, Riley Magnuson, Shelby Prewitt, Bri Swanson and Emalie Hobi.

By Cali BagbyWeekly editor

Despite having to face two of the highest ranking teams in the state, the Lobos are not a daunted group of players. They finished the last season with 7 and 4. Though

they faced their foes and lost, they took home pride for an overall well-played run.

“Last year’s group over-achieved and played above expectations and played those teams, that are top in the state, well,” said head coach Larry Berg.

Despite losing four seniors this season, Berg remains optimistic about the next few months. He also realizes that the Lobos’ league is one of the toughest as Lummi is ranked number one and Leah Bay is ranked number two.

“It definitely makes it difficult,” he said.

What will be easy is to continue teaching players to be better peo-

ple. Over the last three years Berg has led football players to not only win games, but to learn to be better people. It’s a motto that Berg uses as his barometer for his own coach-ing skills.

“If the boys are not better men at the end of the season then I’ve done a poor job and shouldn’t be teaching,” said Berg. “They should be good people in all aspects from the classroom to sportsmanship.”

Berg must be doing something right because the Lobos won the John Trotto Best Sportmanship Award for all the entire Northwest last season.

Representatives from the Football Officials Association look at the attitude and respect shown toward game officials and oppo-nents as the determining factor to assigning the award.

“They are good citizens,” said Berg about his team. “They are going through a learning process and growing up and taking respon-sibility.”

While on the field, Berg said the team may have some harder work cut out for them.

With a smaller team of 13, the players will have to make some interesting adjustments with their offensive line to make up with for what they lack.

“We will have to spread ourselves out big with a lot of splits and runs and we will have to throw a lot,” he said.

The team’s biggest strength this year will be speed and teamwork. Berg describes the players as “a lot faster and they will have to come together. They will have to play as a unit to do well and they will have to depend on each other.”

One way the team has to come together is that with small numbers they all must learn every position. If one player is not understanding the moves, another player will have to step in and teach that person.

“We are only as strong as the weakest link and now we are just firming up the chain,” he said.

By Soccer Coach Shawn WesterveltSpecial to the Weekly

Lobos Soccer is looking strong for 2014.This year the Lopez soccer team is look-

ing promising in the pre-season.Although short on numbers with a bench

of only 13, but the team strong in spirit, tal-ent and enthusiasm.

Our three strong and seasoned seniors, Cosmos Cordova, Will Fields, and Axle Rendon are looking to make a mark on the standings in their last year of varsity play. These three players have gotten more fun to watch each year and promise to please this season. Flanked by one junior Dawson Hall and one sophomore Dylan Moore, and supported by a rookie squad with impres-sive speed and athleticism, they will be captaining a team very capable of taking a piece of the winners’ circle. We are also blessed this year with the camaraderie and skills of two players from abroad, Fabio Setti from Italy and Louis Adriaens from Belgium. Aside from being gentlemen and scholars, these two bring a patient, com-petent, and European flair to the pitch this

year, which is an absolute pleasure and asset.

Although all of the freshmen are wel-come and valued, we are especially excited to have Gavin Goodrich in goal this year. It takes a special something to be a real keeper, and Gavin has it and then some.

Nothing motivates more than hearing the yells and cheers of family and com-

munity from the sidelines, so look for the sandwich boards and posters and turn out to cheer this exceptional team on this year.

I would also like to extend a special thanks to our new assistant coach Alex Wedo!

First home game against Orcas is Saturday, Sept. 13 at 3 p.m., Go Lobos!

Submitted by Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve

Members of the Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve announced today that the Navy has delayed the forma-tion of a new expeditionary squadron of Growlers while the Environmental Impact Study is completed on the Growlers based at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. According to Seapower Magazine, “A new date has not been set and will not be set until after the completion

of the environmental impact study,” said CDR Jeannie Groeneveld, Public Affairs Officer for Commander, Naval Air Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet.

In reaction to this announcement from the Pacific Fleet Commanders, Michael Monson, president of COER, is calling for the Navy to delay the use of the Coupeville Outlying Field (OLF) for Flight Landing Carrier Practices,

as they did last year for 11 months. “Since the Navy has announced that it is delaying the formation of a new Growler squadron until the EIS is completed, COER believes it is reasonable to request a delay of training flights at OLF until the EIS is completed.

Additionally, COER believes the cessation of training flights at the OLF makes sense in light of the Navy’s announced intention to amend the Growler EIS, adding 22 more Growlers as a new alternative. “These are major changes in excess of the original EIS that citi-zens were allowed to com-ment on about transition-ing from Prowlers to the Growlers,” said Monson. From recent Freedom of Information requests that COER has received, it also seems likely that the Navy is thinking about abandoning its land ‐based expedition-ary squadrons and making all Growlers carrier ‐based. “This would have a huge impact on the number of FCLPs done on Whidbey Island and in the airspace of Northern Puget Sound, making life here, from Oak Harbor to Langley, from Port Townsend to Lopez and Friday Harbor, and over La Conner and many towns


Pat was born Patricia Ann Farrell in Buffalo, New York in 1929. She lived with her parents and her sister Ruth in a diverse working class neighborhood where she relentlessly rescued “ani-mals in need” (cats, dogs, rabbits, birds) and brought them home, much to her parent’s chagrin.

Her father was a firefighter and her mother a homemak-

er. Her sister Ruth Catalano is 10 years older and lives in Beaumont, Texas.

Pat trained as a teacher in Madison, Wis., and worked as a special education teacher in Denver, Colo. She married and had three children, Susan, Laurie and Andy. She lived for a short time in California and then in Seattle, where she found her feminist and leftist polit-

ical pathway. Pat was a composting,

recycling and co-op pio-neer. She marched against the Vietnam war, supported the Labor Movement, and worked for equality for all people. She moved from Seattle to Lopez in 1971 to her home on Fisherman’s Bay.

Pat worked at Lopez School for many years, first

as a substitute teacher. Later when she achieved her mas-ter’s degree, she worked as the school counselor. For many years she helped children make decisions and guided them through those difficult school years. She also worked for peace and equality. She helped to found the Lopez Library, the Historical Museum and the Land Trust. She loved her Lopez community very much.

Pat lived in her cherished home until 2009 when a

broken pelvis and a failing memory compelled her to move to Vashon Island with Laurie and Corinne.

She missed Lopez very much, but rallied her usual sunny attitude.

Pat gardened, sketched, wrote stories and enjoyed each and every day. Pat died on August 27th at the Vashon Community Care Center. She had a stroke and died peacefully. She was 85 years old.

We will be celebrating her life with a gathering at the

Lopez Community Center on Sept. 28 from 1 p.m. until 6 p.m. Please bring your memories and stories, pic-tures, music and of course, a potluck dish to share.

Local entrepreneurs in need of commercial kitchen space?

That is the question Lopez Seniors are asking. With a beautiful commer-cial kitchen that is used twice a week to prepare senior lunches, the ques-tion has been raised if the kitchen could be rented by locals who have a desire to produce and sell a food product.

If you have ever contem-plated making jams and jel-lies, pies, sauces, breads, candy, etc. to sell, the senior’s kitchen committee

would like your input. Please join the committee

on Wednesday, Sept. 10 at 7 p.m. at Woodmen Hall, where the possibilities of the kitchen rental will be explored.

The committee is seek-ing to determine if the com-munity has a need for this opportunity, and discuss possible rental fees and guidelines.

Your ideas are very important, if you unable to make the meeting, please call Connie at 468-3275 to express your interest in renting the kitchen.

in Skagit County, very dif-ferent,” stated Monson.

When most environmen-tal impact studies are con-ducted, no harm is allowed while the study is conduct-ed. The navy followed this established practice when it flew elsewhere and did

not use OLF for 11 months in 2013. Now, the Navy has announced it is amending the Growler EIS, pushing the draft deadline of the Growler EIS out into 2016 or 2017. On the heels of this announcement, the Navy has also resumed a pace of training flights not seen since 2012, when COER filed a complaint in federal court to make the Navy initi-

ate an EIS on the transition from Prowlers to Growlers at OLF, challenging the flawed internal Naval Environmental Assessment.

Maryon Attwood, a small business owner, said she found the Navy’s “Good Neighbor” policy highly questionable as the increased flights are occur-ring in the same month when Whidbey Island has the most visitors.

“Last Friday,” she explained, “farmers could not bring in their crops for the Saturday market, artists could not set up their tents for a long ‐planned studio tour, and wedding planners had to delay their prepara-tions. All of these activi-ties were outdoors and had to be put on hold for the Navy jets. Sales are lost as potential customers arrive and then flee when the jets fly over. The arts industry here brings $13 million dol-lars to Island County and over 90 percent of our dol-lars stay right here,” con-cluded Attwood.

Northern Puget Sound

and places like Coupeville rely on tourism dollars for an active and growing local economy. There are 68 state parks and 8 national parks, wildlife refuges, forests and public lands that border Puget Sound. These assets help drive approximately $9.5 billion in travel spend-ing, including 88,000 tourist ‐related jobs that bring $3 billion in income to the region, according to Island County tourism sources

COER is calling for the Navy to delay the use of the OLF as they did in 2013 for 11 months. While the Navy delays the formation of the new squadron, COER encourages the Navy to reinstate their protocol of flying elsewhere until such time as the Growler EIS is completed.

For COER’s hot line num-ber and more information about the Growler’s region-al impact, refer to their web-site at http://citizensofe-beysreserve.com.

this author Gretchen Wing, Mark Doelman and Gary Alexander on sax, and Jaime Cordova on percussion. Dylan captures the joy and challenge of participation: “Singing Stevie Wonder is like free diving down 30 feet, then attempting to sing soul-fully all the way back to the surface.”

Super Wide Groove’s sing-ers deepen that groove with groovy dance moves of their own.

Susie Teague says, “Every rehearsal is a blast—we’re

like a family, all of us laugh-ing and joking together. Knowing that we’re creating this music to share with our beloved community for a fun dance night makes it all the better!”

Bill Johnson has an extra reason to “celebrate good times” this year, as he turns 60 just a couple of weeks before the concert. Is it “Just [His] Imagination” that this music is irresistible?

Come find out for your-self. Despite their love for the band, the busy members can only manage one perfor-mance a year. So if you miss Sept. 27, you will have to wait a whole calendar year to “Get Down Tonight”!
