Pooches on parade
Submitted by the Solid Waste Alternatives ProgramThe San Juan County Council, acting as “governing
body” for the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District, has unanimously approved the district’s budget for 2013 and property tax levy. The budget projects revenues of $364,577 and expenses of $330,577.
The projected revenues include $100,000 from the Lopez property tax levy that will be on the Nov. 6 ballot. With these two actions, council members completed the steps needed to fund the LSWDD, which will assume responsi-bility for operation of the Lopez solid waste and recycling facility in December.
“We’re very pleased with the council’s action and excited to be officially taking responsibility for the Lopez solid waste program,” said Larry Eppenbach, LSWDD board secretary. “We did not get this far alone. Many, many people on Lopez worked hard to achieve our goal of local
control. Many individuals at the county level deserve credit as well. Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord helped enormously. Frank Mulcahy, Ed Hale and Russ Harvey at Public Works, and Milene Henley, county auditor, and her staff were also very helpful. But it was the council that made it all possible. Jamie Stephens and all the other members of the council, most notably Chairwoman Patty Miller, all pitched in to make this happen. They did the heavy lifting on Tuesday.”
The managing board of the LSWDD includes Page Read, Sandy Bishop, Larry Eppenbach, Dan Post and Bruce Creps.
More information about the district can be found at www.lopezsolidwaste.org.
Background on Lopez Island’s solid wasteIn May, more than 1,200 Lopezians signed a petition ask-
ing the council to create a district to take over operation of the Lopez dump and recycling center. Miller asked for sig-natures of 550 registered voters as a “show of support” that Lopez property owners would be willing to help finance the district with property taxes. The petition-signers pledged to vote for an estimated $.08 per $1,000 of valuation prop-erty tax measure in November.
Miller said the district will only work if the prop-erty tax measure is passed because otherwise there is not enough revenue to

There were Labradors, golden retrievers and even a
Great Dane parading through the green grass at the Lopez Center’s outdoor pavilion last July.
“There really were all kinds of dogs,” said Michelle McDarmont about the 50-plus dogs that participat-ed in last year’s event. “It was really well-attended and people were talking about it days after.”
And it’s happening again this year, the Second Annual Lopez Island Canine Promenade is Saturday, Aug. 4, 10 a.m. at the Lopez Center for Community and the Arts.

United Way Day of Caring 2011
Every September there is a nationwide United Way Day of Caring. I first expe-rienced this event when my
husband worked for a non-profit in Seattle.
Lopez events have involved: a garden/com-mon area clean-up at Lopez Children’s Center; public areas of downtown Lopez Village; vegetable gardens
at Lopez School; LOHO (planting daffodils in the pouring rain) and helping senior citizens.
September 2011 volun-teers were given the choice of working on gardens at the LOHO Project for Seniors or going to seniors’ homes somewhere on our island. My husband and I chose a site visit and had a wonder-ful time — and provided much-needed physical labor trimming a pine hedge that the homeowners could no longer maintain.
Not only did we benefit from our day of service, but we made new friends in the process. Working along the street on a beautiful, sunny
day we encountered lots of people out walking, biking, driving — and they were curious about what we were doing. I think a lot of people haven’t heard of this nation-al day of service that ben-efits the families that United Way serves.
The Lopez Children’s Center has been open since 2003. Although the Lopez Cooperative Preschool has been around for over 30 years, there was not a child care component to take care of children too young to attend preschool. The Lopez Children’s Center was formed, land provided, funds raised, and a beauti-ful building constructed to
take care of children in the Lopez Community, ages 2 through 6.
Our demographics are constantly changing; some years we have only a hand-ful of children and other years we are bursting at the seams! Jane Hobbs, direc-tor, is always putting the puzzle pieces together to make the student-teacher ratios balance, ensuring that all families are served.
United Way has been there for us providing grant and scholarship money to help with our budgetary shortfalls. We are grateful to have the continuing sup-port of this valuable service organization. The United Way’s Day of Caring 2012 is scheduled for Saturday, September 8. Join the fun!

A free workshop at the San Juan County Fairgrounds teaches you how to learn how to build a three-bin composting system, Saturday, Aug. 4, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the fairgrounds.
The workshop is sponsored by Public Works, WSU Extension and Ag Program, San Juan Islands Conservation District, and the Department of Ecology.
“I’ve attended a lot of composting work-shops over the past several years and I’m always impressed with the new and useful information I learn each time,” said Helen Venada, Waste Reduction and Hazardous Waste coordinator, SJC Public Works.
This workshop will build a three-bin com-posting system (used to manage larger amounts of yard/green waste) and teach us to create a healthier garden and yard. The bins will be used as a demonstration at this year’s fair.
Why should we compost?Composting is nature’s recycling system that will make
your plants healthier and will improve your soil’s water-holding capacity.
You can save money on your trash disposal bill while turning your lawn clippings, plant materials, and other green waste into a free soil amend-ment.
Composting on-site is more conve-nient than hauling your yard waste to a disposal location. It’s also more hygienic to compost your food waste than to mix it with your trash that gets trucked, ferried, and railed to the mainland.
Composting saves landfill space and helps to keep “resources” on-island.
Burning leaves and brush produces air pollution…so why not add them to your compost pile instead?
By F. Milene HenleySan Juan County Auditor
In my first year as auditor, the first time I went out on a limb to project revenue, it was to say that sales tax revenue that year would not meet budget. Having no expe-rience in forecasting, I was way out of my comfort zone in saying that. I was relieved the next week to see the local paper reporting the same thing: that sales tax rev-enue would fall short that year. When I read the article, however, I was chagrined to see that the paper’s source for that projection was me.
I’ve come a ways since then. I’ve developed tools for reviewing revenue, and I have a few years of good historical data to build on. Nonetheless, forecasting revenue, particularly sales tax, remains a challenge.
Sales tax is a critical revenue to San Juan County. Before the levy lift, it represented about 1/3 of the county’s general fund revenue. With the levy lift, it’s still about 26 percent, second
only to property tax. Because sales are typically concentrated in incorporated areas, and San Juan County has only one incor-porated area, sales tax revenue is more significant for San Juan County than for most counties. Even in San Juan County, about 29 percent of county-wide sales subject to sale tax take place in Friday Harbor.
The problem with sales tax is that it is highly variable with the
economy. Sales tax grew more than 10 percent from 2005 to 2006. The following year, it grew only .3 percent. Since then, it has increased twice and decreased twice. This year, based on results through June, it looks like sales tax will fall again.
The good news is that revenue is up in other areas. Planning and permitting revenue, in particular, is up by about the same dollar amount sales tax revenue is down. With that, it looks like there will be no need for a mid-year budget correction this year, the first time in four years.
Expenditures are also on track to finish 2012 within budget. The departure of administrative staff resulted in some unexpected costs related to leave payout, but those expenditures should be largely manageable within budgeted con-tingency funds.
Despite favorable results this year, we’re still not out of the woods. Status quo expenditures continue to outpace status quo revenues, and council continues to look for structural and oper-
ational ways to contain costs. Unfortunately, in an environment in which one of our major revenue sources has fallen significantly in recent years, it is unlikely that we can maintain our current levels of service without some increases in revenue, as well.
For now, I’m taking sales tax revenue forecasting into my own hands, and I invite you, as con-cerned citizens, to do your part. Invite your relatives to visit. Invite
your business associates. Tell them to stay in hotels, eat in restaurants and buy stuff to take home for the kids. Better yet, tell them to buy a house, or at least a boat. With your help, maybe someday soon I will be able to accurately project an increase in county sales tax revenue.

You can put egg shells, cof-fee grounds, fruit and vegeta-ble peels, even pet hair, lint, newspaper, jell-o, pickles and other discarded material in a compost. The more you shred these items down the faster they will compost. Most kitch-en leftovers can be composted, but beware of meat products, fats and white bread, which are like neon fast food signs for rodents.
Compost tips
McDarmont, one of the organizers, said this year’s event will be similar to last year’s canine promenade. There will be light-hearted categories to enter like lon-gest and shortest tail, dog and owner costumes and a peanut butter eating contest.
Lou Pray, Phyllis Potter and Jerry Scherzinger are this year’s judges.
McDarmont will demon-strate agility with her own canine companions.
“It’s a very low-key ver-sion of a dog get together,” said Jane Albrecht, also an organizer. “And the con-
tests are designed to best accentuate your dog’s best features.”
Some new additions include an official dog show demonstration coordinated by Potter and a portrait booth with photographers Justin and Sara Hurley.
Dr. Barbara Swahlen of Community Animal Health will have an infor-mation booth and will be available to answer pet-related questions. Paws on the Rocks Dog Training and The Lopez Animal Protection Society will also have an informa-tional display set up.
“It’s a fun day to spend with your dog,” said McDarmont. “And to show off its cuteness and talents.”
Albrecht, who is also president of the Lopez Animal Protection Society, said it’s also an opportunity
to socialize your dog with a group of other dog lovers.
Entry for one category is $5 or $10 for three. And all dogs must be on a leash.
The promenade is free to spectators.
Registration forms are available at Paper Scissors on the Rock, Lopez Bookshop and the LCCA office.

In 2002, the Lopez Animal Protection Society officially became a nonprofit. This year they celebrate 10 years of enhancing and protecting the lives of domestic ani-mals on Lopez Island.
“It’s hard to believe it has been this long,” said Jane Albrecht, LAPS president. “Every year there have been new challenges, but it has worked so well because of community support. It has been great to see the attitudes about pets and the importance of spay and neu-tering. Lopez has evolved into a healthier safer place for animals.”
The nonprofit status has been important because it allows LAPS to accept tax deductible donations and apply for grants. They also offer testing equipment for the feline leukemia virus and the feline immunodefi-ciency virus, spay and neu-ter procedures and micro-chips for identifying pets – all at reduced cost.
But even before officially becoming a nonprofit, from 1986 to 2002, volunteers served as advocates in a less formal capacity as part of an umbrella group with Orcas Island colleagues and the Friday Harbor Animal Protection Society. When
the Orcas Island Protection Society was formed and constructed their own shel-ter, Lopez animal advocates were inspired to move for-ward with their own society. A valuable cooperative rela-tionship continues with the animal protection societies on Orcas and San Juan, say LAPS staff.
During all these years of caring for animals, commu-nity contributions have been the main source of funding, according to Joyce Myhr, LAPS secretary. Their big-gest expense also remains
constant: animal care costs. LAPS is an all volunteer organization operating from their homes to reduce administrative costs.
“LAPS looks forward to serving the Lopez commu-nity for many years to come and invites you to stop by their booth at the Aug. 4 canine promenade (read more on page 1) to help celebrate their anniversary and learn more about their programs – and volunteer opportunities,” said Myhr.

In 2002, the Lopez Animal Protection Society officially became a nonprofit. This year they celebrate 10 years of enhancing and protecting the lives of domestic animals on Lopez Island.
San Juan County Sheriff ’s Department reported responding to these calls:
June 2: A San Juan Island man is out $14,000 after a secret stash of cash – hidden in the garage of his Friday Harbor home – disappeared in an apparent theft. The 71-year-old, who built up the bankroll with monthly deposits over many years, last saw the money about 30 days before it vanished. He claims no one knew about the secret location or of the money, concealed inside a freezer inside the garage, which reportedly was locked at night and unlocked during the day.
– A warrant prompted the arrest of a San Juan Island following a late-night altercation at his Friday Harbor home. The 40-year-old, accused of assaulting his girlfriend, was taken into custody at about 3 a.m. while out on a walk with his dogs.
June 26: A pair of portable radios and a set of hands tools disappeared from the shop of a Lopez Island home as part of a string of recent burglaries in the Bakerview Road neighborhood. The contents of the shed were reportedly rifled through during the break-in.
June 28: An outboard motor belong-ing to a Seattle couple vanished from their Lopez Island home in an apparent theft. Valued at $2,500, the 25 horse-power motor was attached to a boat at their Richardson Road home at the time it disappeared.
July 3: A 19-year-old Battleground, Wash. man was arrested on alcohol-related charges following investigation of a late-night gathering in Orcas Island’s Buck
Park. Taken into custody shortly before midnight, the man was only one of four people gathered at the park who reportedly had been drinking.
July 4: Two Seattle men were slapped with tickets for unlawful possession of fire-works, and had their stockpile seized, after ignoring repeated warnings by Lopez Island firefighters about the countywide ban. The two 23-year-olds were reportedly setting off fireworks in the 1400 block of Bayshore Road at about 11 p.m. when a deputy inter-vened.
July 6: Excessive speed led to the arrest of a Texas woman for driving without a license or identification following a late-night traffic stop on San Juan Island. The 23-year-old, pulled over in the 1000 block of West Valley Road shortly after 2 a.m., was ticketed for failure to use a child seat and for speeding as well.
July 8: A tripod, a digital camera, four boxes of women’s clothing and two boxes filled with classic rock cassettes vanished in an apparent break-in of a home in the 6000 block of Orcas Road. Valued at $300, the household items reportedly disappeared sometime between noon and 7 p.m.
July 10: Back-to-back moving violations led to the arrest of a San Juan Island man for DUI following a late-night traffic stop in Friday Harbor. The 27-year-old, pulled over near the intersection of Spring and First Streets, was taken into custody shortly after 10 p.m. He reportedly failed to both use a turn signal and yield to an oncoming vehicle while proceeding through the intersection.
July 11: A 6-foot tall flower stand was
blown apart by high-powered fireworks in an apparent act of vandalism on Orcas Island. The stand, valued at $225 and located near the intersection of Enchanted Forest and Darvill Farm roads, reportedly was destroyed by someone who stuffed explo-sives into several cans and then ignited the lot.
– A half dozen warrants led to the arrest of an Orcas Island man following a mid-morn-ing complaint about traffic in the 7000 block of Orcas Road. The 27-year-old, reportedly wanted in connection with earlier incidents involving burglary, theft, trespassing and vandalism, was taken into custody at about
10:30 a.m.July 12: Clothes, a printer, a television
and expensive totes vanished in an appar-ent home invasion on Orcas Island’s Scenic Lane. The homeowner dialed 911 after find-ing the faucet of her sink running and hearing the sound of someone rummaging through her bedroom. Someone reportedly got into the home through a small bath-room window.
July 16: Excessive speed and an unpaid traffic ticket prompted the arrest of an Orcas man for driving with a suspended license following an early morning traffic stop.

The skipper of a 25-foot sailboat was plucked out of shallow waters near Spieden Island and airlifted to safety after his boat caught fire and ran aground shortly after midnight on Monday, July 23.
The 25-year-old man, who reportedly escaped the mis-hap without serious injury, was flown to Bellingham by a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter and placed in the care of local emergency medical services.
The fire burned the boat down to its waterline, with 20 gallons of gasoline onboard, according to the Coast Guard.
The skipper and his home-town were unidentified by the USCG in a press release about the incident.
The Coast Guard dis-patched a helicopter crew, based in Port Angeles, and 33-foot enforcement vessel, in Bellingham, after receiving a report of a red flare and pos-sible boat fire about one-half mile southwest of Spieden, at about 1:30 a.m., Tuesday.
When rescue crews arrived on scene, the man was stand-ing near the burning boat, in shallow water along the west-side of Sentinel Rock, due west of Sentinel Island. The depth of the water proved too shallow and the shore-line too rugged for the man to be reached by boat.
He was hoisted onboard
the helicopter after a crewman was lowered to the rocks to assist in the rescue.
The man reportedly was the only one onboard at the time the boat caught fire and ran aground, according to the Coast Guard.

“If people are charged too much for garbage, they won’t utilize it,” she said.
According to Eppenbach, the district’s advisory board nominees told the council that failure is not an option.
“We are not directing any significant energy to this
‘what if?’ However, the com-munity of Lopez has worked toward this goal for 20 years and we will not give up,” he said. “We told the council that we would certainly be back responding to their RFP [request for proposal] with a modified service plan should the ballot measure not succeed.”
If the district is success-ful, Eppenbach said the biggest change for Lopez regarding solid waste will be local control. There will be a suggestion box, and the district will be inviting
ideas and inputs from locals. The recycling service will revert to a free source-sep-arated operation and will produce the highest return value. The district plans to expand recycling services over time. For a small fee, there will be an option to dispose of recyclables in commingled form.
Other big changes will come in cost savings. The district is working to find an inexpensive means to dispose of waste glass, which because of its weight is costly to trans-port. The recycling center “Take-It-Or-Leave-It” will be improved with volun-teers organized by the dis-trict.

Museum calls for visual artists in San Juan County

“Last Thursday, after rain on and off, we got a sun break just before sundown ...” said Helfman about his rainbow photograph.
Orcas resident Rena Patty, shown right, embarked last week on the journey of life-time: a bicycle ride across America.
Patty, with traveling com-panion Pamela Senzee from Phoenix, Ariz., expects to take 90 days to reach New York City.
Both women are Action Group Team Leaders for the nonprofit Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
They say their journey is
“dedicated to all who have died and suffered loss on account of 9/11 and free-dom of speech and assem-bly for redress of grievance regarding the need for a new, independent investiga-tion, with subpoena power, of 9/11 and subsequent wars, violations of interna-tional treaties, and loss of civil liberties.”
“Our mission is to edu-cate the public about the sci-entific forensic evidence of
the destruction of the three World Trade Center high-rises on 9/11 and to intro-duce people to the experts at AE911Truth,” they said.
Patty and Senzee will be distributing a new documen-tary, “9/11: Experts Speak Out.”
The idea of a bike ride arose two months ago as they brainstormed ideas of nonviolent actions to bring attention to this issue.
Anticipating traveling 40
to 80 miles per day, the women began their journey by water taxi from the Olga dock.
The two are car-rying basic camping gear. Connections for places to stop are drawn from the AE911Truth petition signer list. They also are carrying video equipment to film the ride.
To learn more and follow
their journey, visit their blog at www.911journeyfortruth.org.
