Islands' Weekly, November 11, 2014

By Scott RasmussenJournal editor

Elections are often about change.

San Juan County voters demonstrated an eagerness for it, in the administration of their Sheriff’s Office.

In a first-ever bid for pub-lic office, deputy Ron Krebs grabbed a sizable lead in a hotly contested 2014 sher-

iff’s race. Krebs, an eight-year veteran of the force and former deputy guild president, collected 4,736 votes of 7,393 ballots tallied, earning 64.06 percent of the vote.

For first-term incum-bent Rob Nou, the election results signal a decided turnaround from the same race four years ago. He drew 66 percent of the vote

in 2010 to become the coun-ty’s first new sheriff in more than two decades on the heels of that landslide vic-tory at the ballot box.

Four years later, Krebs made leadership and com-munication, or the lack of it, the centerpiece of his campaign. He vowed to mend and to restore lines of communication within the department and with other agencies that regularly deal with the sheriff’s office. He pledged to create a stronger bond between the depart-ment and the public it serves, as well.

The department’s rank-and-file rallied around Krebs’ run for office, with the guild backing his cam-paign in an unprecedent-ed and near unanimous endorsement of his election

Weekly staff reportJamie Stephens

Jamie Stephens ran unop-posed for San Juan County Council Residency District 3 and received 4,653 votes.

Stephens has served on the existing council for close to four years.

Prior to becoming a council member, Stephens was active in the com-munity, including serv-ing as board member of the Family Resource Center, Fisherman Bay Water Association, Port Commissioner, member of the Lopez Village plan-ning Committee and board member of the Lopez Community Land Trust.

He has also substituted

at Lopez School and has organized the yearly Fourth of July Parade.

Stephens teaches busi-ness classes through the Family Resource Center. He has two children, one in college and another employed in Washington, D.C. He lives with his wife Lauren Stephens in Lopez Village.School Bond

Voters have approved Lopez Island School District #144 Proposition No. 1 con-cerning a $9.6 million capi-tal projects bond with 65.09 percent of the vote. Only 36.91 percent opposed the bond.

Taxpayer cost is estimat-ed to be an additional $0.30-$0.35 cents per thousand dollars of assessed proper-ty, or approximately $124 a year for a $400,000 house. This tax impact reflects an estimated interest rate that continues to be attractive

and below historical aver-ages.

According to school offi-cials, Lopez School District facilities are falling apart, and district officials have been worried about keeping up with safety, health, and educational standards.

The bond represents sig-nificant revisions from the $16.5 million renovation project proposed in 2013, which did not meet with voter approval.

This new bond is approxi-mately 40 percent less than the original request, but officials say it will provide sufficient funding for critical upgrades and renovations to meet basic safety, health and educational standards.

By reducing originally proposed new additions and site improvements, trim-ming back on refurbishment of classrooms and eliminat-ing original plans for water catchment for irrigation, the

district is able to present a responsive revised request to the voters.Solid Waste Levy

Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District Proposition No. 1, Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District Operations and Capital Property Tax con-cerning an excess levy won landslide support with 76.26 percent of the vote.

According to Rhea Miller of Citizens for Lopez Solid Waste Levy, the 2015 levy will be assessed at a rate of 10.7 cents per $1,000 of taxable assessed value, down from 11.155 cents in 2014. The lower rate, with slightly increased property values, will generate the same $115,000 levy for 2015 as for 2014: a $54 bill for a property value at $500,000.

Scoop on ScopingLopezians and San Juan

County residents are having an impact. Last winter our County community and oth-ers around the region sent

over 2,000 comments to the Navy regarding their pro-posal to add 13 jets to the 82 already based at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

On Oct. 10 the Navy decided that it really needed

– not 13 – but up to 36 more EA18G Growler jets. All would be based on Whidbey Island. This change meant that the EIS Scoping pro-cess would reopen and we, the public, would have an opportunity to comment on the addition of more Growlers. For those of us living with the noise, this is a daunting proposal. It car-ries with it the real possibil-ity that more jets will need more airspace (probably to the north), more training time resulting in more noise and over flights.

The Scoping Process is now re-opened. The deadline for comments is Nov. 24. The Quiet Skies

group has been working on a strategy to help us all make effective comments. Over the next few weeks we will create a series of “sug-gested comments” which may be copied, edited or rewritten in your words and submitted. They will be sent to our Quiet Skies Mailing list and posted on www.qui-etskies.info. The first one will be on “mitigation.”

On Thursday, Nov. 20, Quiet Skies will hold a com-ment writing “party” at the library, 5:30-7:30 p.m. There is a rumor that there may be “Growler Cookies.”

As we write scoping com-ments and enter our noise reports on the County Noise

Report map, We are making a difference. Our county council is supporting us. Representative Rick Larsen has heard us and is making an effort to get us schedules of jet training at Ault Field, Hush houses to mitigate jet run-ups, and a scoping meeting on Lopez where we will have an opportunity to speak directly to the Navy. Right now the Navy con-siders San Juan County a “no impact area.” If we do nothing they will assume they are right. Please start writing comments!

Submitted by Dennis RyanMember of the Lopez Village Planning and Review Committee

Lopez is making its very own Village Plan for shap-ing development in the years ahead. This is our chance for local governance over something near and dear – the Village.

Achieving the new local plan requires local input. Community members includ-ing property and business owners are invited to con-tribute through public work-shops, correspondence and in discussions with friends and neighbors. Ultimately the council will adopt the rec-ommendations as a sub-area plan, making it legally bind-ing. Host a discussion ses-sion! Make this an agenda item in your organization!

The council-appointed, vol-unteer Lopez Village Planning and Review Committee is drafting the plan with assis-tance from Linda Kuller, of the SJC Department of Community Development and Planning. The planning boundaries are the Lopez Village Urban Growth Area designated some years ago as part of the State’s Growth Management Act.

On Oct. 7 we conducted the first public workshop to share work to date. Well over 75 Lopezians attended, weighing in on a range of topics. As one participant put it, “It’s hard to just jump into text on this planning stuff. I need pictures, maps and stories. What’s good for the future, what’s pos-sible and what should the Lopez Village steer clear of

– these are big, challenging questions!”

Eight attendees gave a spirited reading of a draft vision for Lopez Village. Later, editorial comments included: “Add Hummel Lake as a destination for the envisioned walkable, bicycle-friendly and well-connected community.” “Add Weeks Wetland Preserve to the statement about protecting Fisherman Bay.” “Pay atten-tion to climate resiliency and sustainability in our capital facilities.”

Everyone had something to contribute in lively discus-sion exchanges. Folks made brief notes on the boards and comments came afterwards. A sample: “Planning for the Village should recognize the demographic shifts in America and the tilt toward an aging population.” “Get a truly walkable Village – one that supports and encour-

ages pedestrians, with bicy-cle and automobile territo-ries clearly worked out and managed.” “Preserve our views of the water and sur-roundings from the Village.” “Mature trees and landscap-ing are essential.” “Aim for a stronger sense of a village center. A public square?”

Taking care of the aqui-fer, minimizing pesticides and exposure to microwave radiation and designing a “stunning water system in the Village” for storm water man-agement were also called for.

We reviewed all comments and will continue to do so. Send comments to [email protected] or call 370-7572 or visit www.sanjuanco.com/cdp/LopezVillage/lv_default.aspx.

Issues ahead: how to strengthen the Village as a cherished place for liv-ing, working, shopping and enjoyment. There are many

qualities within the present collection of buildings and spaces to emulate, includ-ing the variety of generally small–scaled forms, pitched roofs, a number of porches, decks and terraces condu-cive to social gathering, and a special, sometimes dra-matic connection with the surrounding landscape and water. The Village today is a composition of clusters of activities – slightly differ-ent places within a larger whole. The committee’s assessment of the unique qualities of each place as well as the overall function-ing of the Village will deter-mine guidelines for future development.

Everyone cares about

the Village but in myriad ways. “Village” is an easy term to use but it’s not so easy to define. The uses and activities that constitute the Village, along with its visual qualities and how well it works to achieve public and private objectives, are all paramount. It is also an eclectic yet recognizable, iconic and dynamic place – it should accommodate the busy summer season and yet be equally inviting and representative of the best of Lopez throughout the year.

Having a homegrown Village plan, attending to local objectives with local say-so, is exciting to imag-ine. This will be a first, important step.

Submitted by Lopez Island School DistrictLopez Island School officials and board

directors have expressed appreciation to the Lopez and Decatur communities for their vote of support and approval of the Lopez School capital projects bond. With the approximately 65 percent approval, the district will now begin the work of addressing the much-needed repairs, renovations and updating of its aging facilities.

School officials have made a commitment to the community, and to the students and staff, to not only bring the facilities up to safety, health and code standards, but to also bring the facilities up to current educational standards – creating facilities that support and inspire students to excel. The district will begin planning immediately for the next steps, including developing a design process that engages a project advisory team that will include community, staff and students. They have also begun the process of developing an overall timeline for the project.

“We are committed to spending wisely,

these precious resources entrusted to us, and we will not forget those voices that have expressed concerns about how we will accom-plish this project,” declared Superintendent Bill Evans. “We will continue to do our best to address those concerns and, with the help of project professionals, work prudently to man-age this significant and complex program.”

District officials will also work to keep the community advised and involved throughout the project, including a special board meeting that was held on Monday, Nov. 10, at which the board and school team began this multi-year effort.

“Your support of our students, families, is an inspiration,” said School Board Chairman John Helding. “The positive energy in the school hallways and classrooms is palpable, and much gratitude is being expressed for this vote of support and belief in our Lopez Schools. Thank you for your involvement in this issue, for making this major contribution, and for all you do in helping our community, our village, to raise exceptional young people.”

Lopez School successful in bond request in election

Tom Froning graduated with an industrial design degree from the University of Cincinnati, and soon after, he traveled to Lopez Island. He put his degree and expe-rience with small remodels for friends to use by helping his family convert a three car garage into an attractive waterfront getaway. Here, he vacationed with his fam-ily for many years before calling Lopez home. The island lifestyle and the spirit of helping others remained with Tom as he developed his design career.

He journeyed to Portland, Ore. to begin working for Ziba Design, a promising new firm. While there, Tom was recognized for his unique and user-friendly designs, receiving numer-

ous awards; namely, the Design Excellence Award given by the Industrial Design Society of America. Working with large inter-national companies, Tom began to question the corporate mentality of mass consumerism; spe-cifically, the obsolescence as opposed to long-term use of products and their environmental impact. He searched for another way and found Friends of Opal Creek, a nonprofit organi-zation working to protect a 35,000-acre watershed on the west slope of the Oregon Cascades. Tom

was instrumental in form-ing what is now the Opal Creek Education Center. He spent seven years as facili-ties’ manager, restoring his-torical cabins that are still in use today.

Never forgetting the islands, Tom and his newly married wife, Stephanie, decided to begin their life together on Lopez. For the past 14 years, Tom has been designing and building homes for island residents. His company, Soundesign, combines his two passions by providing complete design-build ser-vices, from concept to per-

mitting to construction. As a designer, he enjoys facili-tating the refinement of the client’s idea; as a builder, he acts as a conduit of the design, helping shape the form, making sure all the functions connect to bring together a space that one would call home.

Tom spends his free time on his farm, Sweet Acres, keeping bees, growing a garden and truly appreciat-ing the natural beauty of the islands with his wife and son. To learn more about Soundesign please visit the website, www. soundesignli.com.

bid. The sheriff oversees a department of about 35 employees and a yearly bud-get of $4.9 million, includ-ing $2.7 million for depart-ment operations, $1 million for dispatch, $800,00 for Emergency Management and nearly $400,000 for the jail. At full staffing, the department consists of 21 deputies, detectives and field corrections officers, nine dispatch employees, and four other employees.

An elected, non-partisan position, the sheriff earns an annual salary of $103,595.

As a first-term incumbent, Nou came into the cam-paign carrying a long list of credentials.

A graduate of the FBI

academy, he joined the sheriff’s department as a Lopez-Island based deputy in 2008 and with 33 years of law enforcement experience in tow, including four years as police chief in Burns, Ore., and long tenure as an administrative sergeant in Oregon’s Yamhill County.

By Rosie Sumner and Matteus RabelSpecial to the Weekly

“Boatswain! Here Master, what cheer? Good – speak to th’ mariners. Fall to it yarely, or we run ourselves aground, bestir, bestir!”

So begins another adventure in com-munity theatre on Lopez. These lines are shouted by actors in order to be heard above the “Tempest.” The master of the ship is played by a 13-year-old, the “bo’sun” is an adult actor.

Richard Carter has directed young stu-dents in finding their acting chops and the meaning and fun in Shakespeare for many years. In 2002, he and Susan Wilson start-ed the nonprofit Community Shakespeare Company.

Their performances featured student actors until in 2007 a handful of adult actors were invited to participate in Romeo and Juliet.

My name is Rosie Sumner, and I was one of those lucky adults. I have been onstage with the company nearly every year since, having the time of my life. Why would hours of rehearsal, line learning, tech angst and stage fright be so appealing?

And why is performing with kids espe-cially so wonderful?

Children, teens, and adults doing Shakespeare together experience a lot of hard work. At the beginning, there is con-fusion, mispronunciation, and giggling, giving way to surrender and commitment. When opening night rolls around, actors of all ages understand the plot and the language and how to support each other onstage. Each play calls for a unified effort, and we actors, tall and small, young and old, rise to the occasion and lift our audiences up with us.

As an adult actor, working with kids onstage is inspiring, delightful, humbling, bonding and a labor of love.

My name is Matteus Rabel, I am 10-years-old, and The Tempest is my fourth Community Shakespeare play.

The first time I acted in Shakespeare was Richard’s adaptation of “Twelfth Night.” I arrived at tryouts thinking that if you did not speak or act well enough, you would not get a role. What I learned is that in Richard’s thoughtful plans, there is a place for everyone, and when any of us fall behind, he strongly but gently guides us toward improvement.

Truthfully, I believe that at some point, every actor, even adults, needs help from Richard. The younger or newer kids often

need to speak louder and slower. Richard focuses me on nailing my blocking and understanding my character. Most of us need direction with expressing our charac-ters’ feelings.

The mix of children and adults is unique but quite compatible with theatre. For example, when Rosie and I are in scenes together, we form a routine of how we work together.

Connecting with Rosie offers me a dif-ferent point of view and I form a friend from a different age range. In my opinion, working with adults in theatre is simply the best combination I could wish for.

“The Tempest” runs from Nov. 19 through 22 at the Community Center, and is our chance to share our hard work, cour-age and friendships with you all.

“The Tempest” runs from Nov. 19 –22 at Lopez CenterContributed photo / Summer Moon Photography

Cast members of “The Tempest.”

Share the warmthOctober usually encour-

ages us to pull our sweat-ers, scarves and boots out of the back of the closet to meet the chill in the air. How many of you noticed that this year was different?

There was a new warmth in the air all over the islands with the most heat radiat-ing from Friday Harbor Espresso.

That’s because owner Mark Brokman agreed to take the challenge to “Share the Warmth to Help Stop the Violence”.

During the month of October, Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services of the San Juan Islands (DVSAS) challenged all of us to donate a quarter every time we enjoyed a warm drink.

Everywhere, at home, work and play, the noisy sound of coins and the soft flutter of dollar bills could be heard dropping into cups, jars or baggies to save and send to DVSAS to help stop the violence and “Share the Warmth”.

With an average of two cups a day for each of us you can see how quickly the heat could rise and the violence could lessen. As

just one coffee shop car-ing enough to “Share the Warmth,” Friday Harbor Espresso raised more than $800.

If you missed out on this warming experience don’t despair. You can just esti-mate your average number of warm drinks a day times 25 cents and times that by 30 days and send your check to DVSAS at PO Box 3175, Friday Harbor, WA 98250. Plan now to make each October the warm-est month of the year by encouraging your favorite coffee shop and friends to care enough to join in on this warming experience too.

KIM BRYANExecutive Director,

DVSAS

The dragonLast night as I was walk-

ing in the rainThe dragon came shriek-

ing from the sky“Death, Death.” He

roared.I could feel his rage rum-

ble in my stomach.I just smiled and kept on

walking.“Hello, dragon.” I softly

said.The irate dragon grum-

bled,Retreating hastily into the

clouds.My wife, Chris, who

attended the Rick Larsen

meeting found out an inter-esting fact. The engine for the Growler is manufac-tured by General Electric. GE also manufactures the engine for the commercial aircraft 747, which is (get this) cheaper, quieter and more powerful.

Now why would the Navy choose to spend more money to obtain a lousier engine simply because it was louder?

The answer is: because the noise is an intended element of the weapon. It is designed to disorient and terrify the enemy, an effect it also has on me, my wife and my ducks. It is the roar of the dragon. It is the full might and fury of the U.S. military; a sound familiar to Iraqis, Afghans, Panamanians, Vietnamese … need I go on?

Now let us consider this. If the Navy wanted to prac-tice dropping atom bombs, would it be acceptable for them to practice by drop-ping one on Lopez Island?

The sad truth, my friends, is that our government is now waging war on us, or at least practicing on us.

This is immediately appar-ent when you see the pho-tographs of lethally armed storm troopers oppress-ing the black protesters of Ferguson, Missouri. You know what?

The Mt. Vernon Police Department also has a new toy: an armored personnel carrier. They are hand-ing them out like candy. Policemen love them.

The facts are not unre-lated. This is called the ever-increasing militariza-tion of our government. It is also not unconnected to the fact that the U.S./Mexican border now resembles the Berlin wall.

They shoot and kill peo-ple on that border, just like the STASI did during the Iron Curtain days.

I know because I am an old man, and I lived behind the Iron Curtain for two years. We the small people of Lopez must be the mice that roar back, “We want a humane government that respects peace and human rights! And we want it now!”

STEPHEN CARTERLopez Island

If you were in the library Aug. 5 of this summer you experienced the Musical Petting Zoo for Kids sponsored by the Lopez Island Family Resource Center and the Lopez Library. The library resonated with the melodies and energy of a music school.

Sounds of strings, brass and flutes (intro-duced by our local musicians) mingled with laughter and learning as kids of all ages dis-covered the magic of musical instruments. As follow up to that terrific event, the Lopez Library presents “Zoo Tunes!” with musi-cian Lance Brittain.

This time the event will feature guitar, dobro, banjo, mandolin, ukulele and rhythm instruments and will again offer kids the opportunity to experience musical instru-ments “hands-on.” There will be demonstra-tions as well as instructional videos and kids will have a chance to listen to music and draw what they hear.

Bring your child and enjoy the warmth and expressions of budding musicians. Saturday, Nov.15 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. in the Lopez Library Community Room. Instruments and art supplies will be provided.

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.

By Gene HelfmenSpecial to the Weekly

Things started well for the Lopez eight-man foot-ball team. Very well. On the first play from scrimmage, Rande Gruenwald connect-ed to Vinnie Kramer for a touchdown with less than a minute off the clock. The Blackhawks scored four minutes later but failed on the point-after try, and the first quarter ended with Lopez up 8-6.

The second quarter was a wild affair; the scored tied or the lead changing hands repeatedly. Lopez scored on a run by Rande Gruenwald and passes from Gruenwald to Tony Ahonen and Vinny Kramer, the last one coming with only 30 seconds left on the clock. Lummi answered

each Lopez score and the half ended with the score tied at 28 all.

Things remained tied until five minutes into the third quarter when Lummi took the lead 36-28. After that, the Blackhawks scored four times on long runs and passes. At the end of three quarters, the score was Lummi 60, Lopez 28. The Lobos’ defense stiffened in the final quarter, despite the lopsided score, and the game ended 66-28.

Lopez turned in out-standing defensive as well

as offensive play. Vinny Kramer recovered a fum-ble, and Rande Gruenwald and Kevin Dye inter-

cepted Blackhawk passes. Gruenwald finished the day 9 for 17 passing and Vinny Kramer completed one

pass, for a total of 180 yards through the air. Gruenwald, the Kramer brothers and Thomas Hobi accounted

for almost 300 yards on the ground.

Lopez will play at least one more time, on Nov. 8, against Naselle High School in the quad-district playoffs at Oak Harbor High School.

Rande Gruenwald (4) drops back to pass while Edwin Kramer (22) and Vinny Kramer (40) fend off Lummi rushers. The Blackhawks defeated the Lobos 66-28.


The Lobos soccer team improved steadily through the 2014 season, finishing with a 2 and 14 record but play-ing well against teams that in the past have scored easily against them.

Lopez won their Oct. 24 match against Cedar Park by a score of 4-3. Lobos scorers included Cosmos Cordova and Fabio Setti. Lopez hosted cross-channel, non-conference rival Friday Harbor on Oct. 27 and lost 5-1. The Lobos held the usually dominant Wolverines to only two goals in the first half, and the score remained 2-0 for another 20 minutes before the Friday Harbor for-wards added three quick goals. Lopez forward Cosmos Cordova put in the Lobos’ only score late in the second half.

Lopez then played their last game on Oct. 29 against LaConner and came up short in a 3-1 loss. Ironically, two of the scores against Lopez were of the painful “own-goal” type, as balls deflected by goalie Gavin Goodrich bounced off his own players and into the Lobos net. Coach Shawn Westervelt said afterward, “In reality, we outscored them 3 to 1.”

Cosmos Cordova accounted for the only ball that went into the LaConner net.

Cosmos Cordova takes a free kick after being fouled by Friday Harbor in the Lobos’ 5-1 loss to the Wolverines. Cordova scored the sole Lopez goal against Friday Harbor and has led Lobos scorers this season.


With decisive wins against Highland Christian and Skykomish Oct. 27 and 28, the Lobos have emerged as District 1 NW1b League Champions.

The Highland Christian contest was emotional for the graduating seniors who were playing their last game at home. It took the play-ers awhile to get their focus after the pre-game ceremo-nies, resulting in a first-game loss. But they went on to take the next three games, all of which were

close. The girls kept their competitive edge despite a long bus trip to Skykomish the next day, Lopez winning quickly in three straight games.

Lopez takes their 11-2 overall record to the District Tournament at Mt. Vernon Christian on Nov. 1.
