A GREAT BIG THANKS to all for making the 2015 and 12th Annual Home Tour a major success! This, the biggest fund-raiser for the Lopez Center for the Community and Arts, is critical as it provides an important portion of the LCCA’s annual operations budget. The proceeds, in turn, allow the

LCCA to keep event prices low so all Lopezians can enjoy the varied events.

BUT the success of the Home Tour requires help from a multitude of people and organizations. They include the home owners for providing their houses, the organizing committee and volunteers who spend countless hours

before, during, and after the September event, the generous on- and off-island business and individual

sponsors, and last but not least the people who buy tickets and visit the homes.

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND PARTICIPATION. SEE YOU AGAIN NEXT SEPTEMBER!

The organ came to Lopez in 2003. They had to take the instrument apart piece by piece and move it up the stairwell of the church carefully maneuvering the pipes and wood decorated with seashell carvings. Before it’s presence at Grace Church the congregation would gather on Sundays to the music of an electronic keyboard, but it did not have the air of sacred, timeless songs that the pipes now provide. Luckily Marge Strensrud, even at 91, is a skilled organist and can harness the power of such an instrument.

“She plays like an angel,” said Ginni Keith.

There are three islanders in training to play the organ in case Strensrud wants to take a break or retire. “It takes a lot of work with both hands and feet. In my next life time I would love to do it,” said Keith. “I really admire anyone that can play it.”

But even with the perfect player and space for the instrument there is quite a bit of work to keep the organ working. Each of the 100 pipes must be tuned once a year and throughout the years some of the pipes must be removed and

replaced. So in an effort to keep music of this

caliber at Grace, Keith and two other musicians are holding a fundraiser to upkeep their beloved organ.

Keith on trumpet, Mollie Johnson on trombone and Don Breazeal on french horn make up the group Salish Brass. Their benefit concert is Sept. 27, 3 p.m. at Grace Church. Donations are wel-come. For info contact Keith at 468-4422 or the church at 468-3477.

The music will be primarily from the Baroque and Renaissance period.

This year’s National Public Lands Day is Saturday, September 26. The Lopez Island event will be hosted by Odlin County Park and co-hosted by Spencer Spit State Park on the island’s north end from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The event will be the tenth year National Public Lands Day is celebrated on the island. Planned activities include kayak-ing, footbridge construc-tion, a beach clean-up, marine invertebrate identi-fication, nature walks, trail projects and all day kid friendly activities includ-ing an environmentally

focused story time and a scavenger hunt.

“Odlin County Park is glad to be a part of the National Public Lands Day tradition on the San Juan Islands this year.” says David St. George, Park Manager.

National Public Lands Day is a fairly young event, founded only 21 years ago in 1994 but its scope belies its age. Last year 175,000 people participated at 2,132 sites across the country and in Puerto Rico. National Public Lands Day events focus on environ-mental education and mak-ing connections between

people and lands as well as improvements to public lands.

At Odlin County Park you will find fun and help-ful work projects such as footbridge construction and trail work as well as environmental education activities including marine invertebrate identification, a nature walk and an all-day kids table.

At Spencer Spit State Park you will find kayak rides, Leave No Trace sea kayak instruction and a beach clean-up. The day will con-clude at Odlin County Park with snacks and a raffle.

A powerful variety

of partners have come together to make National Public Lands Day a cel-ebration to remember this year, including The San Juan County Parks & Fair Department, Spencer

Spit State Park, The San Juan Islands National Monument, The San Juan County Land Bank, The Lopez Community Trails Network, The San Juan Nature Institute, Leave No

Trace and Wolf Hollow as well as many private com-munity members.

For more information about the day contact BLM Event Coordinator Stacy Bower at 468-3754.

“We love that period the best,” said Keith.

She added that an interest-ing element of a brass trio is that all three musicians play consistently, where as in the traditional quintet one or two of the musicians are able to take a break.

“It’s strenuous and musi-cally challenging,” she said.

But their biggest challenge is to blend all three of the brass instruments so that the sound produced is that of one instrument.

Overall they just hope to raise some funds to keep the

organ music alive.“A lot of folks in parish

close remember the days of little keyboard, so the organ still seems new,’ said Keith. “Everybody appreciates it.”

ORGANCONTINUED FROM 1

Submitted by Rick Larsen’s officeFollowing a series of six round-

tables with veterans across the Second Congressional District, Rep. Rick Larsen, WA-02, thanked the 414 vet-erans and their family members who attended.

Larsen heard questions and com-ments from veterans on a variety of issues, including reforms at the Department of Veterans Affairs, and successes and challenges getting access to services like health care, job training and housing. He provided a summary of some of the themes from the roundtables and underscored his continued commitment to connecting veterans with the services they need.

“I had the opportunity recently to meet with more than 400 veterans and their family members at six round-tables across Northwest Washington,” he said. I am grateful to all the veter-

ans and their families who took time to meet with me during these events. Their ideas will help me do a better job working on their behalf in Congress. And I thank all veterans in the Second District and across the country for their service.”

Larsen provided the following updates based on common themes from the roundtables.

VA ChoiceOne major VA reform that I voted

for and Congress passed in 2014 cre-ated VA Choice, a three-year program to allow veterans living more than 40 miles from VA health care, or who had waited more than 30 days for a VA appointment, to access non-VA care at no extra cost.

At the roundtables, many veterans had concerns and questions about VA Choice. Some veterans shared that the choice program helped them get the

care they need in a more timely way, while others have had major challeng-es. Representatives from the VA Puget Sound Health Care System attended the roundtables and helped answer veterans’ questions about how the pro-gram is supposed to work and how to navigate the system. Larsen will be looking at whether there are ways to adjust choice to get rid of roadblocks for veterans in Northwest Washington. Veterans with questions about the pro-gram can call 206-764-2876.

Individual casesVeterans struggling to access the

federal services available to them may be able to get help from Larsen’s office, including getting personnel records or ensuring the VA receives claims or appeals. Many veterans brought their individual challenges to the round-tables, and Larsen says his staff will be working to assist them.

Larsen will continue commitment to veterans

This fall, 15 Lobos will be hitting the court ready to bump, set and spike their way through another volley-ball season.

For coach Jeremiah Johnson this year will mark another exciting opportunity for the team. Last year the volleyball team placed first in league and third in district.

“We lost our tri-district playoff game with a record long loss match at 37 to 35 putting us somewhere about 14th in the state,” said Johnson.

He added that the previous team was made up of three seniors, two juniors and six freshman.

“This year even with the loss of the three seniors we have grown to a strong 15 players and a student man-ager on the team,” he said.

One amazing fact of this year’s volleyball season is that all of last year’s remaining team has returned and are on the court creating a well-seasoned group of players that will hope-fully help the girls when they face the playoff games.

Other the other hand, although the addition of six

freshman makes for fresh enthusiasm, time is needed to hone their skills. Another fun fact about this year’s line-up is that two foreign exchange

students will be seen courtside - one from Spain the other from Moldova.

Johnson’s goal for the year is to have the girls work hard, work as a team and have

some fun.“One of my favorite things

Lopez High School Soccer steps onto the field with a fresh young squad for the 2015 fall season. Judging by the level of play in their first game, age will not be a limiting factor.

The opener against La Conner brought fans to their feet for a thrilling match. Despite fielding fewer players, the Lopez team held possession and showed strong unity. Feeding the ball through the midfield with accuracy and composure, newcomer

Jorge Solis, an exchange student from Chihuahua, Mexico, repeatedly created opportunities up front.

The fast footwork and stra-tegic positioning in the goal-box by Tobin Arden kept the defense on their toes.

Strikers Angel Lopez on loan from Madrid, Spain

and homegrown Sterling Carfrae, whose partnership produced an elegant goal worthy of national television replay, provided some real teeth in the attacking end.

Ever courteous to fel-low players on both sides of the pitch, Rio Cordova maintained a healthy bal-ance distributing balls in the midfield and shutting down the counterattack. Anchoring the team on defense was the sweeper Jonathan Doherty sprinting with intensity to block shots

and overtake the opposing team’s strikers.

Keeping a cool head on left back, sophomore Ryan Schaefer persistently dis-mantled the attack and sent the ball on its way back towards the other goal.

On the opposite sideline, team captain, Dylan Moore put his experience and long legs to good use, frequently tackling and intercepting the ball to regain control for the team. Several laser-like shots were confidently deflect-ed by goalkeeper Gavin Goodrich, quick to dive and

quicker to jump to his feet. Building up the team later

in the season will be Dawson Hall and Antonia Bock. The team this year is overseen by myself Coach Miles Becker himself under the benevo-lent tutelage of Coach Shawn Westervelt, whose dedica-tion to sportsmanship will continue to strengthen the team and keep them enthu-siastic about the game.

And, if the first game was any indication of this team’s potential, we have good rea-son to be enthusiastic.

Justin Frausto enters his sec-ond year as the Vikings’ football coach in a very unique season.

Teetering on the edge of eli-gibility with only 16 players, the viability of the Vikings’ season faced a serious risk resulting from smaller class size and fewer of players. Lopez Island faced the same problem for its Lobos foot-ball team, and though the efforts of school administrators, 9 Lobo

players now make the trip to Orcas five days a week with the help of Ian Harlow handling the Orcas transporting.

The Vikings football team, beat the Friday Harbor Wolverines during the 25th annual Island Cup on Sept. 5 in Dahl Field on Orcas. The inter-island battle ended in a score of 42 to 6. The Orcas Vikings last won the cup in 2011.

The hybrid team will play the normal NW 2B football sched-ule and introduce the Lobo team-mates to the Orcas league rival-

ries which will probably feel all too familiar.

“It’s great,” said Frausto. “We have 9 seniors on the team, includ-ing some foreign exchange stu-dents from Lopez: a player from Denmark, Ukraine and Georgia. It is quite the group of players and having a lot of upper classmen is a nice change. Looking forward to

a strong season, especially defen-sively.”

Despite a historically strong Friday Harbor Wolverine team moving down to the 2B league last year, the power in the league remains in Concrete.

“The Lions were 7-2 last year, won the league and went to state, so until further notice they are

still the top dog and the team to beat,” Frausto said.

He is also getting some coach-ing help from two Viking alumni: Jacob Hansen as defensive coor-dinator and Robbie Padbury as an assistant.

“At Lopez Center we are fortunate to be able to have several performances each year that would seemingly be out of the price range for a Community Center of our size. I was recently asked how we could get a performer like April Verch, who performed at the open-ing ceremony of the winter Olympics in 2010, to come to Lopez Center” Assistant Director Robert Harrison said. “We are fortunate to have a working relationship with Orcas Center and San Juan Community Theater to create attractive block booking incentives to art-

ists. With the power of our block booking collaborative we have been awarded two grants for the 2015-2016 sea-son from the Western States Arts Federation (WESTAF) helping to make the con-

certs financially feasible.”WESTAF administers the

TourWest grant program that provides subsidies to arts and community orga-nizations for the presenta-tion of out-of-state touring performers and literary artists. It is supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). In addition to pro-viding financial support for performances, performers that receive the grant must also provide a free educa-tional workshop for our community.

There are two upcom-ing performances at Lopez Center that are, in part, made possible by the WESTAF/NEA grant. On Thursday, September 17th, the April Verch Band, show above, will perform at Lopez Center at 7:30 p.m. There will be a free hour long Ottawa Valley Stepdance Workshop at LCCA presented by April Verch from 4 to 5 pm, ages 10yrs to adult.

On Friday, October 2nd, BodyVox Dance Company will perform REVERIE at the Center at 7:30 p.m. They will also be hosting a free dance workshop at LCCA from 4 to 5 p.m. that day as well. For more information please visit our website at www.lopezcenter.org.


Washington D.C. – Today, Michael Botticelli, Director of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), announced 697 Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program grants, totaling $86 million. The grants will provide local community coalitions funding to prevent youth substance use, including prescription drugs, marijuana, tobacco and alcohol. Lopez Island Prevention Coalition from Lopez Island Washington was one of the grant recipients and will receive

$125,000 in DFC grant funds to involve and engage their local community to prevent substance use among youth.

“We know that evidence-based prevention efforts are the most effective way to reduce youth substance use and to support the roughly 90 percent of American youth who do not use drugs,” said Michael Botticelli, Director of National Drug Control Policy. “By bringing together schools, businesses, law enforcement, parent groups, and other

members of the community, DFC-funded community coalitions are helping to protect youth from the devastating consequences of non-medical prescription drug use, heroin and other substance use.”

“Our goal is to make Lopez a safe and healthy environment for our youth,” said Georgeana Cook. “Prevention is a powerful tool to counteract drug use in our commu-nity, and we will use this funding to help youth on the island make healthy choices about substance use.”

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the DFC Program.

“Community coalitions continue to drive winning strategies at the local level to reduce the rate of substance misuse,” said SAMHSA Acting Administrator Kana Enomoto. “SAMHSA is pleased to join the Office of National Drug Control Policy in supporting communities that are bringing citizens together to create healthy and drug free environments for our youth.”

Lopez Island Prevention Coalition will specifically work in the building and devel-opment of collaboration among community members and organizations to help identify and target key issues that relate to youth substance abuse and creating youth leader-ship opportunities in the field of prevention.

By Russ LevineSpecial to the Weekly

This is to recognize Ann Marie Fischer and Lisa Geddes for their work as music teachers at Lopez school.

In 1988 Ann Marie was hired to be the new music teacher. “My first year was full of learning and adapting, but the kids were great, and the community was very sup-portive.”

Ann Marie quickly realized that Lopez secondary stu-dents were unique and need-ed a program designed for

them. She decided to focus on singing, ensemble playing using current musical styles, ethnic music, and life-long musical skills. The first rock band was formed, followed by years of recording original music. Choir took off, and provided many students with training in vocal skills, and ensemble participation.

Changes in the program over the years have reflected Ann Marie’s own changing musical tastes and those of her students. “I learned about popular music from Zimbabwe, particularly

marimba. The marimbas live in the music room, and most students learn to play them. They love whacking away, but also make beautiful music!”

For the last seven years Ann Marie has co-taught Musical Theater with Richard Carter. “The first day we throw out a theme for the story, and the kids write a script and come up with music that works. It is really fun to teach, and great to work with Richard, who is a highly skilled drama teacher. “

Ann Marie also spent a year on a Fulbright exchange, teaching music at Kallion Lukio, in Helsinki Finland.

Another change in the pro-gram occurred 13 years ago when Ann Marie began job sharing with Lisa, who took over the elementary music program. “I was very pleased when Lisa agreed to join me. I knew her well musi-cally from our experience in Mamatamba. She has a magical way of engaging the little ones in the language of music. Watching her teach is a delight.”

As well as being music teachers, Ann Marie and Lisa love to play music and have participated in commu-nity bands. Lisa has played with Mamatamba, Callanish,, and Sabroson, and Ann Marie with Santos de Lopez, Mamatamba, and Sabroson.

After 28 years of teach-ing music, and hundreds of performances, Ann Marie is moving on to coordinat-ing the Parent Partner and CVA programs. “Change is good….I am enjoying the challenge “

In addition to teaching ele-mentary music, Lisa began teaching Spanish in the high school in 2009. “Although these are two very different hats to wear, there’s a sur-prising amount of cross-over between the programs. I use a lot of Spanish in my music classes and a lot of music in my Spanish classes.” Lisa is taking a one year leave-of-absence to further her stud-ies in Spanish, and will return in the fall of 2016.

Ann Marie thanks Bosko Bailey, Hawk Arps, Celia Rosenberger, Summer Moon, Jaime Cordova, Llewellyne Arden, Dean and Caroline Jacobsen, Colin Doherty, Sue DuMond, Cheap Friends, Jesse Hammond, Bill Johnson, and parents and community, for all the support they have given the program.
