Each Lopez Island High School senior must complete a senior project in order to graduate, but the results certainly show a great deal more passion, engage-ment and dedication than most manda-tory undertakings.

Last year, Breton Carter interned for the Doma Coffee Company in Coeur d’Alene, Iadho. She followed this up with a trip to Nicaragua over the school year, where she visited a coffee farm. The result of these two experiences was a well developed curiosity about the coffee industry, which has culmi-nated in a coffee-centric senior project, which Carter describes as studying “the

process [coffee] goes through “from bean to cup,” specifically looking at Fair Trade versus the conventional route, and information on other certifications as well e.g. organic, rain-forest alliance, shade-grown etc.”

While Carter doesn’t believe that her newfound knowledge and curiosity will lead to a career in the coffee industry, she did learn a lot in the process of completing it, stating, “now I can make a good shot of espresso, spread knowl-edge about coffee, and do my best to support “good” businesses.”

Breton’s project is one among many of this year’s senior projects with a mean-ingful international focus: her class-mates are covering topics ranging from stem cell research (Eryn Dye), to inter-

national adoption (Solomon Bill), to the benefits of meditation (Katie Ogston), and equine therapy (Clara Ewert).

However, some senior projects are more relevant closer to home. Nia Bartolucci is focusing on the presence of GMOs on Lopez Island, Michael Reeve is presenting on technology in education (specifically on Lopez), and Patience Taylor is concentrating on the Lopez Island Mentor Program.

A new San Juan County Code Enforcement Ordinance

is ready for public comment and council action.

Seven years after the for-mer county commission decided the code enforce-

ment ordinance needed work, the Planning Commission presented a new draft ordi-nance to the council at a spe-cial meeting of the council on April 8.

At that meeting, the council scheduled a “Second Touch” hearing on April 23, and a public hearing and possible final passage for May 7, the last meeting of the six-person council before the recently-elected three-member coun-cil takes office.

The regulations implement enforcement and appeals pro-cedures, and reduced pen-alties, for violations of the county unified development code, which includes county laws on land development, remodeling, shoreline pro-tection and the critical areas ordinances.

Enforcement of the coun-

ty’s building and construction codes are also affected by the code enforcement ordinance.

Code enforcement proce-dures have been a source of complaints and dissatis-faction in the building com-munity since the current enforcement ordinance was passed in 1998.

United Way enriches Hamlet House

Hamlet House would like to offer a heartfelt thank you to United Way of San Juan

County and to its commu-nity members who contribute their support to the United Way. Recent funding from United Way has provided care for the Seniors we are privileged to serve.

While ensuring that physi-cal needs are met is always first and foremost, thanks to funding from United Way, we have been given an oppor-tunity to focus on nurturing social needs as well.

With the additional cover-age, now possible through United Way grant funding, we can explore with our residents their personal interests both socially and

intellectually. Everyday those of us who

work with our Senior popu-lation experience just how much they have to share with us.

We can’t tell you how much it means to us that you chose to give back to them. Many thanks to United Way of San Juan County from the residents, staff and Hamlet Board.

Community newsOrcas islander appeals five-year prison term

An Orcas Island woman with extensive criminal his-tory is contesting a five-year prison sentence handed down in the wake recent con-victions for felony burglary and misdemeanor theft.

On April 24, Terry Ann Meloni, 50, posted a $10,000 bond in San Juan County Superior Court as collater-al for fulfilling terms of the sentence, which was slated to begin April 30, while the court-ordered penalties are

under appeal.Meloni was convicted by a

jury on March 27 of second-degree burglary, a Class B felony, and of third-degree possession of stolen proper-ty, a gross misdemeanor, and ordered to serve 60 months in prison and to pay $1,347 in fines and fees in a sentence handed down by Judge Don Eaton three weeks later.

The standard range of sen-tencing set by the state for the felony crime, given the extent of her criminal history, is 51-68 months in prison. She was credited with hav-ing served two days of the 60-month prison term.

Restitution has yet to be determined for the break-in and theft of three jackets that she was convicted of stealing

from an Orcas Island couple.According to court docu-

ments, Meloni has been convicted of more than two dozen criminal offenses in the last 20 years, including 10 separate felony drug or prop-erty crimes since 1999. She previously had been granted a sentence under the state “drug offender sentencing alternative” for a prior convic-tion, and she is legally eligible to be granted a second such alternative. Those convicted of a felony drug offense are typically permitted to serve a portion, if not all, of court-ordered penalties in a resi-dential treatment facility as part of a DOSA, rather than behind bars.

At the time of sentencing, Eaton, who, according to court documents, was trou-

bled by the extent of Meloni’s criminal history, denied her request for an alternative sentence, according to court document. Her appeal will be reviewed by the state Court of Appeals.

Forage fish surveys to start

Locally and across the globe, forage fish play a critical role in marine eco-systems, transferring ener-gy from plankton to larger fish, seabirds and marine mammals.

In San Juan County, two species of forage fish – the surf smelt and Pacific sand lance – use the upper regions of sand and gravel beaches to incubate their eggs. A decade ago, Friends of the San Juans partnered with

the San Juan County Marine Resources Committee, Friday Harbor Labs and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to survey and map spawning sites. To date, forage fish spawning has been documented on ten miles of shoreline in San Juan County. With support from the Washington State Salmon Recovery Funding Board, additional field surveys are planned for 2013 and 2014, focusing on priority regions and sites that have not yet been surveyed.

“The protection and resto-ration of known forage fish spawning beaches is a top salmon recovery priority in the San Juans,” said said Barbara Rosenkotter, San Juan County’s salmon recov-ery coordinator. “Resources are available to assist both

public and private landown-ers in improving steward-ship of these essential beach habitats- but we also need to expand our understanding of where these fish spawn.”

Volunteers are needed to assist with the boat-based field surveys beginning this summer. A volunteer train-ing with regional and local forage fish experts Dan Penttila, Tina Whitman and Lety Hopper will be held in Friday Harbor on Saturday, May 11, 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Pre-registration is required.

For more info, contact Tina Whitman at Friends at 378-2319 or [email protected].

Walking into Lissa Snapp’s home and the headquarters of Barnacle Bags, one is immediately struck by the quiet inspira-tion of the artist and her work. Her cabin, scaled down to elf-size in a typi-cally Lopez fashion, only works to underscore this – Lissa has managed to fit a universe of style and util-ity into around 250 square feet.

Her work table, imme-diately adjacent to her kitchen table, holds riv-ets, grommets, and other hardware. Under the table are immense rolls of leath-er. Her sewing machine, a muscular antique, sits unas-sumingly in another corner, surprisingly well suited to the space, despite its heft.

Though small, the space is by no means crowded, and the tools of her trade appear to fit seamlessly into the other aspects of her home and life.

Lissa is somewhat bashful, surprised by the popularity of her work.

“Last year, I went to New York to visit my brother. When I came back, I had all these orders, and I basically had to just hide out and sew for a month to catch up. Not long after that, I was chosen as a Featured Artist on Etsy [a popular online store for artists and crafters].”

With the help of Barnacle Bags’ Etsy-generated celeb-rity, the appeal of these totes has built in metropo-lises across the world, and with their sturdy but elegant appearance, it’s not hard to see why.

Made of organic cotton, waxed canvas, leather, and a touch of bohemia, these bags are as useful for a trip around the world as they are for a trip to the grocery store. When asked if she’d ever met someone she didn’t know

carrying one of her bags, she responded “My brother was out at a restaurant one day with one of my bags, and a woman came up to him and said ‘Is that a Lissa Snapp bag?’ So, not personally, no, but I guess people recognize my work.”

Though Barnacle Bags now has some global appeal, the phenomenon began locally when the artist start-ed making bags and selling them at the farmers’ market during the summer.

She describes the early days as a learning experi-ence.

“I used to only do draw-string bags, so each one would have these grom-mets, and I’d have to ham-mer them all by hand. As I started making more bags, that just wasn’t prac-tical anymore,” she com-mented, holding up a pair of grommet pliers.

So she creates, she learns, and she fine tunes her process, and because of this, Lissa has acquired a huge amount of savvy and talent in a short amount of time. In fact, she’d “never touched a sewing machine until four or five years ago.”

Her materials inspire nearly as much curiosity as the artist herself. With

their intentionally nautical air, they are unique, appealing, and apparently not easy to come by.

“Truly, the hardest part is ordering the supplies. I seriously spend probably 70 percent of my time on research.”

However, once she has

what she needs, she likes to embellish with things she loves, like unique fabrics for lining and other whimsy. When combined, the overall effect is winsome and wear-able, and very much stamped with the personality of their creator.

You can view Lissa’s bags at etsy.com/shop/BarnacleBags and at www.barnaclebags.blogspot.com.

Engaging, straightfor-ward and informative, Monte Stiles speaks to audiences all around the country teach-ing, motivating and changing their lives. On Thursday May 16, this well renowned moti-vational speaker is coming to Lopez Island.

Last year, members of the Lopez School D.R.E.A.M Team and Youth Ambassadors attended a youth leadership summit in Yakima, Wash. It was there that they listened to Stiles speak.

“He is the best motivation-al speaker I have ever heard,” said student Patience Taylor. “I really liked what he had to say.”

It was there at the sum-mit that Lopez youth learned more about and participated in the “Let’s Draw the Line” campaign.

This campaign has spread across the state as students, adults and their community members commit to drawing the line between youth and alcohol.

The Lopez School D.R.E.A.M Team and Youth Ambassadors are participants in this campaign and have plans for various activities to involve other youth and com-munity members.

Sticker shock is one such activity. Colorful stickers are place on containers of alco-holic beverages to remind buyers that it is illegal to pro-vide alcohol to people under the age of 21 and may result in a fine of up to 5,000 dol-lars.

Another activity is signing “Hero Cards.”These cards ask community members to sign a personal commitment to drawing the line between youth and alcohol. Students and youth have collected over 100 cards so far in their campaign. Stiles is also a

part of the campaign and was invited by local youth to share his message. A school assembly on May 16 marks the start of events planned for that day, followed by a Youth Speak Out commu-nity event that evening at Woodmen Hall.

Lopez School and the Lopez Island Prevention Coalition support the Lopez School D.R.E.A.M Team and Youth Ambassadors in their commitment to increase awareness and promote smart and healthy choices.

For more information on upcoming events and activities, or how you can support youth in their pre-vention work, contact Della McCullough, adult advisor at 468-3770.

sions, originally designed to discourage frivolous appeals, has been a particular sore spot for builders and develop-ers. The council is expected to reduce that fee separately.

Prohibiting third parties from intervening directly in appeals of violations was also suggested by the planning commission and included in the new code by the council.

The proposed ordinance reduces penalties for viola-tions, many of them by half, and provides for time to cure or correct violations before penalties or additional penal-ties are imposed. Double pen-alties are imposed for repeat violations, and triple penal-ties for Shoreline Master Program violations are also

included. Stop work orders, emergency orders, liens, and suspension or revocation of permits are rewritten.

The planning commission, which has worked on the draft for two years, recom-mended the final version with only one “no” vote on one

section of the proposal.That kind of near-unanim-

ity, after all the contentious-ness of the CAO review, should result in final passage by the council on May 7, probably the last major act of the 6-person council.

Submitted by Lopez SchoolLopez School officials announce that Lopez Middle and

High School has recently been awarded a silver medal for Best High Schools, in the 2013 U.S. News and World Report ranking of the nation’s best public high schools.

Lopez School ranked #21 in Washington state and in the top 1,000 nationally. The school rose in the rankings from their 2012 rank of bronze.

The U.S. News and World Report public high school rank-ing project began in 2007 and seeks to identify the nation’s top performing public high schools.

The magazine’s goal is to provide a clear, unbiased picture of how well our public schools serve their students, as they prepare them for proficiency in basic skills and college readi-ness.

In a published statement from the magazine, the editors stated that “U.S. News and World Report’s editors believe high schools are among America’s most important institutions. Education drives our country’s future. Recognizing schools that are performing well and providing models to other schools will inspire educators and communities to do better.”

Over 21,000 public high schools across the country, as well as the over 600 high schools in Washington state were evalu-ated for these rankings.

Based upon a belief that the best schools must serve all stu-dents well and must produce measurable academic outcomes

that support that mission, the evaluations for ranking included review of state assessment scores for a variety of categories, how well the schools prepare their students for college, as measured by AP participation and performance, combined reading and math proficiency indicators, as well as graduation rates, student to teacher ratios, and other factors. The rankings reflect a strong emphasis on college readiness.

“To have our Lopez School ranked #21 in the state and in the top 1000 nationally, is quite an honor and is further recognition of the continuous efforts toward educational excellence by our Lopez School staff, students and community.” stated Lopez Superintendent Bill Evans.

Lopez School ranks highest in similar-sized school districts (150 to 250 students) across Washington, reported school officials.

All of the San Juan Islands schools ranked very high in this latest report, with Orcas High School also receiving a silver medal and ranking #25 in Washington, and Friday Harbor High School receiving a gold medal and ranking number five in the state.

“Congratulations to Orcas and San Juan Island Schools for their excellent work,” said Evans. “There is some impressive learning and educating going on in these islands. What an amazing place to live and raise children.”

Robert E. (Bob, “Bobby-Robert”) Paulson passed away peacefully at home on Friday, April 26, in the pres-ence of his wife, Mireille, and daughter, Kalli. He was 89.

Born Jan. 15, 1924 in Seattle, Bob was a life-long Northwesterner. During World War II, Bob fought with the Army on the Philippine front. Returning home to Seattle, Bob worked for several years at Continental

Bakery before settling into a fulfilling career in home services.

Construction, painting, finish-work, Bob could do it all, and loved it so much he continued working well into his 80s.

A first marriage gave Bob a son, Robert Jr., who pre-deceased him in 2005, and a daughter, Kalli Gates, who lives in Las Vegas with her son, Robert Martin. Bob met

Mireille in 1970 when he and a mutual friend bumped into her and a girlfriend in down-town Seattle, so he always joked that he met his wife on a street corner. They married in 1978, but they’ve been a couple for 42 years.

When the Paulsons moved to Lopez full-time in 1991, Bob commuted for a time back to Seattle to continue his construction commit-ments. Soon, though, word

of mouth gave Bob plenty of work on Lopez.

Then Mireille roped him into volunteering, and Bob found his true calling: help-ing folks. He delighted in hauling boxes for “his girls” at the Lopez Thrift Shop, and drove the van for the Senior Center, transporting seniors and delivering meals. He even carried dog treats for one of the home-bound seniors’ pets. Bob continued in these roles until only a few years ago, when macular degeneration caused his eye-sight to fail.

Because he loved people,

Bob’s civic ties were endur-ing.

A long-time member of the Lopez Island Lions Club, and financial secretary of the Lopez branch of the Lutheran Church in the San Juans, Bob is remembered with deep affection.

One parishioner said, “We will miss his warm greetings, sense of humor, and love of cookies.”

A warm, funny, caring man with a passion for antique cars and car racing, Bob would want no one to mourn for him. Instead he would say, “Love and care for each other. Have a glass of red

wine, and lots of chocolate.”Remembrances may

be made in Bob’s name to Hospice of the Northwest, 819 S. 13th St., Mount Vernon, WA 98274 (www.hospicenw.org), or to the Lopez Thrift Shop.

The memorial service, fol-lowed by a graveside service, will be held at Center Church on Monday, May 13, at 1:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be served after the graveside service. To share memories of Robert, please sign the Evans Funeral Home online guest register at www.evan-schapel.com.

Fun in the spring sun

The Lopez Community Trails Network, a trails organization on Lopez, has scheduled a series of hikes under the title of “Go Take a Hike.” The hike schedule, under the direction of Bob Walker, includes a variety of destinations on and off the island, including easy beach walks to more strenuous mountain hikes.

Last year they had 16 sign up for the beach hike, but normally five to 12 attend. Hikes are at a leisurely pace encouraging exploration.

Here are a few of the upcoming hikes:May 18: Little Cranberry Lake – Anacortes – Leader Bob Walker

This little jewel of a lake is just five minutes from the Anacortes ferry terminal, but seems worlds away. There are many optional up and down routes that circumnavigate the lake for a total of 2 or 3 miles unless the group wants to explore even further. From Lopez we will car pool for the 9:35 a.m. ferry. If you are from Orcas, call for car pool info. For sign up or questions call Bob at 468-3397 or email [email protected] 22: Chadwick Hill – Lopez – Leader, Brad Buchanan

This route is especially fun if you have not hiked it before. It involves a pasture, a forested trail, a rope swing, a view of a beach 300 ft. below, a steep rocky trail decent, a beach walk, up the trail heading south, a meadow traverse, and a view south from Pt. Colville. Three or four miles max, but oh so much fun. Meet at Watmough Bay parking lot at 9 a.m. A van shuttle will be arranged. Sign up with Brad at 468-3099 or Bob Walker at 468-3397.

July 13: Turtleback Mountain – Orcas – Leader Mike MooreThe south trailhead approach gives you immediate views to other San Juan Islands on

the south. As you head up, mossy outcrops and wild flowers appear as well as the mountain crest. If we are lucky, the new Turtlehead connector trail may be ready to explore. This is three to six miles, round trip depending. We will car pool from Lopez on an early morning ferry. Sign up with Mike at 468-3622 or Bob Walker at 468-3397.

Stay tuned for more hikes featured in the Weekly.
