THANK YOUfrom Lopez Island Center for

Community and the Arts!

The 2012 Home Tour, our major annual fundraiser, was a huge

success thanks to the generosity of homeowners, sponsors, volunteers

and for those who purchased tickets and visited homes.

See you next September 2013!

By Cali BagbySpecial to the Weekly

Twenty-five people, each with their own instrument, crammed into the cafe ready to learn how to play like an Appalachian String Band.

“Everyone had a blast,” said Callie North.

The music class was hosted by KnowledgeShare, an organization that aims to cultivate and support the exchange of community wisdom on Lopez Island.

North and Milla Prince started KnowledgeShare in February. After that first session, people started com-ing to the two women with

subjects they wanted to teach. North said it was just that simple.

“As young homesteaders we recognize that there is no need for us to ‘re-invent the wheel’ because the community is full of folks who have walked this path before,” North said.

In the last eight months, KnowledgeShare has held 14 classes that have focused on a range of topics such as native ecology, lacto-fer-mentation, tanning hides, knot-tying, plant genetics and composting. The age of students range from as young as eight to 70 years

old. Prince said teachers have

been anyone from renowned experts to skilled craft peo-ple and passionate laymen.

KnowledgeShare is a not-for-profit group and anyone can join as a teacher, stu-dent or organizer.

“We are having a lot of fun and would love to have even more input and assis-tance from our community,” Prince said.

Class tuition ranges from free to $60 for a series. Financial support and child-care is available.

Their goals are to share local knowledge, nurture community connections and promote healthy living and learning.

In line with that philoso-phy, North and Prince are organizing a swap called “Preserve and Fall Bounty Exchange” as a fundrais-

er for Initiative 2012-4, GMO Free San Juans on Sunday, Sept. 30, 12 - 4 p.m., at Vortex Juice Bar and Cafe.

GMO-Free San Juans is a group that has placed Initiative 2012-4 on the November ballot. The initia-tive will make it unlawful to propagate, cultivate, raise or grow plants, animals and other organisms that have been genetically modified. It does not affect growing of hybrid plants or limit what is available in stores, according to GMO-Free San Juans organizers.

“This [GMO-free San Juans] is one the most important issues our world is facing today. It is impor-tant because the production and proliferation of GMO seed could mean irrevers-ible damage to the ecosys-tem, human health and the future of our planet,” said North. “We are at critical point in human history and the scales could be tipped in either direction. If this initiative passes it could be the start of real food securi-ty in the San Juan Islands.”

The upcoming “preserve swap” follows a trend that is growing popular across the country. But North said they are taking it to the next level by including every-thing from winter storage crops like potatoes, onions, garlic and squash to fer-mented foods.

They will be raffling off a 50-pound sack of Lopez-

No on prop. 1 & 2After serving under the

charter form of government for the last 20 months, I have come to fully appreci-ate the value its separation of legislative and adminis-trative functions provides.

I can attest to the mag-nitude of the political pres-sure that is asserted on our council members. More so than ever before, the current Council has provided our

citizens with new avenues to provide input and to observe their government at work. This connection to our con-stituents is extremely valu-able as the Council makes policy decisions in our role as the county’s legislative body.

On the administrative side of government, we need to ensure our policies and pro-grams are consistently and fairly delivered and enforced and are not subject to the demands of the vocal minor-ity. As the largest employer

in the county responsible for the management of a budget in excess of $45 mil-lion, consistent leadership is essential to deliver effi-cient high quality services. This can be best achieved by the appointment of a quality county administra-tor who understands our community’s needs and is held accountable by the council under the current charter. If the voters are unhappy with the degree to which the council members have held the administrator accountable then we must elect new council members, not change the structure.

Let’s not take a step back-wards and put the man-agement of the day to day operations in the hands of elected officials who may not have any management experience. The existing charter system has in place a set of Rules of Operation regarding the working rela-tionship between the council and the administrator. This document can be improved without gutting the charter model and reverting to the system to voters found to be flawed in 2005.

Please join me in voting to reject Propositions No. 1 and No. 2.

For more information on why we, the voters, should vote No on Propositions 1 and 2, please go to www.votenocharterreview1and2.com.

OPALCO: Let us vote!

The OPALCO board is about to make a decision about their Broadband proj-ect. This project will cost approximately $30 million dollars, and will be paid for by the membership (us) over the next ten years. It will also substantially change the physical land-scape of our islands by cov-ering them with a Wi-Fi can-opy of microwave radiation.(By the way, those of you who believe that this radia-tion is “really low” should know that it is approximate-ly eight million times more powerful than the earth’s natural radiation.)

In terms of public input, OPALCO has conducted one survey which received a 25 percent response (and many members who did respond did not understand the full ramifications of the

project), and one set of pub-lic forums. These forums were held during the day, when working members could not attend, and were too short for everyone to have a chance to speak.

Wouldn’t you think, on our small islands, that our utility cooperative would allow its’ members more input before making this enormous deci-sion? Wouldn’t you think that they would allow us to vote on this project, or at least offer us a chance to express our opinions pub-licly by having true forums in the evening, with enough time everyone to speak?

Wouldn’t you think, in these times of financial hardship, that there would be more discussion about how to spend $30 million of our dollars??

I do, and so I call on OPALCO, our member-owned cooperative, to allow us to vote, island by island, on their Broadband project. (It would not be hard to do – we could vote when we pay our monthly bill.)

Yes for more local control

The Charter Review Commission’s platform is simple. We the people should control our local gov-ernment instead of being controlled by it. We should take steps to improve the Charter, downsize, and get our financial house in order.

Guest column

By Carole White and Sherry BrummelSpecial to the Weekly

Local mom Vanessa and her son Zander recent-ly appeared in a video developed for the Lopez Children’s Center and can be viewed on YouTube.

In the video she states that, “It would be almost impossible to have a job and know my child was taken care of, if the Lopez Children’s Center was not here. He’s learned every-thing he knows while he has

been there, how to interact, play nice; all those good rules.

If the center was not here, I wouldn’t be able to work Monday through Friday to survive and take care of my kids. I wouldn’t be able to work and be out in the com-munity and feel good about myself and have my chil-dren feel good about them-selves. It would be a drastic change, as I would be stuck at home and possibly need to go on welfare. Having the center is a healthy thing for

the whole family.”Over the years the

Children’s Center has faced many challenges; working with children of varying ages, abilities and devel-opmental levels, meeting licensing requirements and operating high quality pro-grams with a limited bud-get. However, unlike many mainland centers they face the additional challenge of operating in a small commu-nity with limited resources and relatively few children.

“Our aim is to be flexible in order to meet the needs of the families, offer qual-ity services and to cover our costs,” said Jane Hobbs, director of the center.

Shanley Lett, LCC Board president, said, “Like so many other early learning centers around the country, LCC is under constant pres-sure to raise enough funds to support our high-quality programs. The support we receive from United Way and generous community members is very much appreciated and crucial to

our continuing success.” Grant funding from United

Way enables the Children’s Center to provide scholar-ships to families.

Jules McLeland, board member and parent edu-cator for the Cooperative Preschool, acknowledges these challenges, but cel-ebrates the successes of the Children’s Center: “Lopez children play and learn in multi-age classrooms and have a variety of teachers each week.

The staff are experienced and educated in early child-hood education, offering high quality, stimulating activities and early learning opportunities for the chil-dren.

Growing up on Lopez allows children to be com-fortable around adults and all ages of children”

Homecoming victory

By Gene Helfman Special to the Weekly

The Lobos treated a large Homecoming 2012 crowd to a 50-22 victory over Quilcene on Sept.15. Lopez jumped out to a 18-0 first quarter lead and went into half time ahead 30-8.

Quilcene staged a third quarter comeback with repeated runs up the mid-dle, narrowing the score to

38-22. The Lobos regained its momentum in the last quar-ter, stopping the Quilcene attack.

The Lobos scored on both offense and defense. Jaise Poole, Chase Schober, Edwin Kramer and Mike Hobi ran the ball in for scores; Poole and Schober also returned a fumble and an interception for touchdowns.

In the fourth quarter, the Rangers had the Lobos backed up on their own one yard line and Schober then thrilled the crowd with a 99 yard touchdown run.

The Quilcene game marked the welcome addi-tions of a press box and play-by-play announcing to the home field. Lopez’s next home game will be Saturday, Oct. 6 against Clallam Bay at 2 p.m.

Impressive plays

By Marne CookSpecial to the Weekly

The sound of smacking volley-balls fills the Lopez Island High School gymnasium as the Lady Lobos prepare themselves for the

new season ahead.Coach Jeremiah Johnson, a for-

mer volleyball player, has taken on the role of mentoring these athletes.

“With several veteran players

with two or three years experi-ence and some talent – we are looking at another year of strong team play. I am hopeful for our

games this season,” he said. “And I am comfortable saying we’re going to win some games.”

Johnson strives to push these girls’ physical conditioning and skills to the next level. He also

encourages his team to stay healthy, safe, have fun and excel academically.

So far, all their hard work has paid off too. With two wins already under their belt, the Lady Lobos are staying focused on their ulti-mate goal – state championships in November.

“I am so glad I have been able

to play volleyball at Lopez High School,” said Eryn Dye, captain of the volleyball team. “I have had so many great experiences and I have learned so much from being on a team. I am excited for this year and what is in store for us. I know that when we, as a team, put our mind to something, we can accomplish anything.”

School soccer team runs up and down and all around.

“We are looking forward to improving our ability to dominate the ball and capital-

ize on opportunities,” said Shawn Westervelt, the coach of the high school team.

Westervelt said that this year the soccer team’s

greatest strengths are playing with heart and integrity and awareness of how to play space and use strong, collaborative teamwork.

The first game of their season was a bit rough. With only nine players on the field these hard-working athletes played the entire game with no substitutes.

Although they were unable to walk away with the win, they were able

Coach Larry Berg has had mean years, lean years, and in-between years. Never before has he had the luxury of fielding a team packed with experienced players.

With a squad of 24 players, anchored by seven seniors and five juniors, Berg has reasons to feel optimistic.

“The older boys have been through game time situations. They have become part of our coaching staff. We can concen-trate on skills and planning,” Berg said. “Our older players know what the younger kids are thinking, how to build their con-

fidence. The upper classmen will lead by example.”

And Berg said having 24 players means they won’t have to concede to anyone. In the past, the combination of small squads and injuries have required Berg to put boys into situations late in a game that stretched their abilities.

“This year, we should be able to play more boys at their best positions, and maybe even give them a little rest,” Berg said.

Despite having key players who gradu-ated last year, Berg is confident that the team has plenty of boys eager to step up and fill their shoes.

And those are pretty big shoes to step into.

Last year, Lopez went 9-0 in regular season play, won the league championship, and went on to District Playoffs. Lopez lost there to powerhouse Neah Bay, a team that eventually captured the State 1B Championship. In addition, the 2011 team won the John Trotto Sportsmanship Award, “which shows that we’re developing good citizens as well as good football players,”

said Berg. Berg will be aided by assistant coaches

Nate Borg and Aaron Dye. Seniors include Solomon Bill, James Brant, Derek Buffum, Daniel Jenison, Joe O’Bryant, Jaise Poole and Chase Schober.

“We’ve had tremendous fan support in

the past,” Berg said. “And success that would have been difficult to predict given our numbers. This year, we hope to reward our fans with even better play and a champi-onship season.”

To see how the Lobos are shaping up so far this season, see story on page 4.

to walk away knowing that they did their best and that they can endure whatever comes their way, said their coach.

Seniors Nia Bartolucci

and Michael Reeve are co-captains for this year’s soc-cer team.

“We’ve all worked hard,” Reeve said. “It has been a great experience to watch everyone grow and improve their skills. I am excited to see how this sea-son turns out.”

To do this we need to put all voters in control of all

council positions and make the council in charge of administration. We need to take control of our govern-ment. I urge you to vote for the charter revisions.

In our current charter,

citizens are two steps away from keeping their county administrator accountable to the people. The people have no direct control over this very powerful position. This needs to be changed. Your charter review com-missioners are recom-mending in Proposition 2 to require a county manager whose duties are delegated by the council whose mem-bers are all accountable to all the voters. We will hold them accountable for their actions or failure to act.

County spending is out of control. Your Charter Review Commissioners

looked at the council’s own predictions of enor-mous growth in budgets which will result in deficits, debt, and increased taxes. Salaries are going up and services are going down. As the county government accelerates in size and com-plexity our current council appears helpless to fix it. We the people need to fix it now by voting for sensible changes in our charter that will bring control back to the people.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a firewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

Above: The Appalachian String Band session, a popular class presented by KnowledgeShare. Right: Callie North’s collection of ferment-ed kraut, kimchi, salsa, car-rots, pickles, and beets. “I am passionate about fermenting,” she says.

grown potatoes as well as a basket of locally made and grown goodies including jams, Chicaoji hot sauce, bread, Greenheart Gardens’ seeds, veggies and a gift certificate to Vortex Juice Bar and Cafe.

There will be informational booths on Knowledgeshare and GMO-Free San Juans. Prince will make crepes from Lopez wheat and there will be a variety of preserves and fresh Lopez apple cider for tasting. North will be presenting “how to make a kimchi” demonstration after the swap.

This is a great opportuni-

ty for people to connect and share tips, recipes and sto-ries about preserving their fall bounty, North said.

Here’s how the swap works:

There is no limit on what you bring, but if you bring one jar you get to trade for one jar. Tables will be laid out by category and the items are placed according-ly. For two hours you can trade, share and take home whatever suites your fancy,

said North.“We wanted to hold a

preserve swap because it is a fun old time-y tradition in need of reviving,” Prince said. “This time of year peo-ple are inundated with fresh produce and preserving it for the coming months is an incredibly important skill to cultivate. It is a great way to get ideas on fermenting and preserving, connect with fellow islanders and raise awareness about an issue

that affects us all.”The funds will be put

toward community out-reach before the November election. For more info about MO-Free San Juans, visit www.gmofreesjc.org/donate/.
