Islands' Weekly, October 28, 2014

By Emily GreenbergJournal Reporter

A tanker carrying hun-dreds of tons of fuel lost power close to the shores of Haida Gwaii, a northern British Columbia archipel-ago, Thurs., Oct. 16. The vessel, nearing the shore-line, in danger of running aground and spilling fuel into the water, was rescued by a U.S. tug boat after the

Canadian Coast Guard was unable to tow it to safety.

Three environmental organizations from the U.S. and Canada, including Friends of the San Juans, have dropped drift cards labeled “this could be oil” over the past year, with the most recent drop Aug. 25. The cards were dropped along oil tanker routes from the Burrard Inlet in

southwest B.C., through the Gulf Islands and San Juan Islands, and out into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The goal is to model the likely path where oil would travel in the event of a major spill.

Out of 700 cards dropped, six were found in the Haida Gwaii archipelago. Three were dropped at Turn Point on Stuart Island and the other three in Georgia Strait.

“If it can get there, it could likely get back,” Friends Director Stephanie Buffum said, alluding to the likeli-hood of fuel drifting into the Salish Sea, if spilled off the Haida Gwaii shorelines.

The drift card proj-ect came to life after the third largest energy com-pany in North America, Kinder Morgan, proposed the expansion of its Trans Mountain Pipeline, which transports crude and refined oil from points as

far away as Alberta and California.

If approved, the expan-sion of the pipeline would increase the amount of Alberta tar sand oil trans-ported to the Vancouver, B.C. area from 300,000 to 890,000 barrels per day, and likely boost tanker traffic in the Salish Sea from five tankers per month to 34.

Islands’ Oil Spill Association is preparing.

“Because of the potential and likelihood of increased shipping vessels, we’re focusing on the westside of the islands,” IOSA’s

Jackie Wolf said. “We have supplies throughout the islands, but the reality is in the event of a big spill, we’d need help.”

IOSA is a first-responder that implements strategy, and deploys booms (a tem-porary floating barrier) to contain spills and protect environmentally sensitive areas. IOSA and its volun-teers have had recent train-ing exercises at False Bay, Mitchell Bay and on the westside of Orcas Island, focusing on the west side of the islands in the assump-tion that any increase in

tanker traffic will travel through Boundary Bay and into Haro Strait, Wolf said.

Nearly 11 million gal-lons of crude oil spilled into Alaska’s Prince William Sound when The Exxon Valdez struck Bligh Reef in 1989. The catastrophic spill marked the beginning of the end for a small group of transient killer whales, the AT1s, that made the Sound and surrounding waters their home. With the Salish Sea’s own southern resi-dents struggling to survive,

Your Fresh Choice forSerious Foodservice. Nou for Sheriff

I am writing this letter to voice my opinion on the sher-iff race. I have served more than 25 years in law enforce-ment and more than 26 years in the military. I have worked as a patrol officer and am currently one of your patrol sergeants. I have held the rank of private to lieutenant colonel and served in a lead-ership role during two tours in Iraq.

The one consistency I have seen during my public service is that leaders are frequently asked to do more

with less and that organiza-tion members blame the leadership for the resulting strain. What is an executive to do? He can either tell his bosses no or ask his subordi-nates to step up and continue to do more with less. In this case, the bosses are all of you, the voters.

The quick fix would be to add personnel. Sheriff Nou asked for more person-nel and was rejected due to budget constraints. The per-sonnel retention challenges for Orcas and Lopez Islands have remained unchanged for the past 12 years due to reasons that are not in the sheriff’s control.

A general once told me that a leader is never more dangerous than when he first starts out as a new leader

in a new assignment. Not because he wants to be but mainly because he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. Although I like both candidates, my experience has taught me that executive positions are best occupied after progressive opportuni-ties for development. I have seen the detrimental impacts to organizations where unprepared leaders were hoisted into executive roles. It was not fair to the organi-zation nor the person thrust into the position. Seven years of patrol experience with no management experience in a law enforcement organiza-

Letters to the Editor

Searching for that one-of-a-kind gift… maybe a Barbie voodoo doll, a candelabrum made from a wooden barrel stave or a tot-sized rocking chair refinished in polka dots? Your shopping fantasy could come true on Nov. 15 when SWAP’s Trash-To-Treasures Auction and Sale returns to Woodmen Hall.

Not your ordinary benefit auction, Trash-To-Treasures features finds from people’s attics, garages and the Take-It-Or-Leave-It – cleverly refurbished or reconfigured into fun and beautiful objects. Like SWAP’s popular Trashion-Fashion Show, the event does double duty, raising funds for the Lopez Island Dump while promoting the values of recycling, repurposing and reuse in an entertaining way. “You might call it an auction with an attitude,” explains Sarah Eppenbach, who chairs the nonprofit that supports the dump. “It’s a little edgy.”

Sale items range from household furnish-ings and décor to artwork, apparel, gifts and accessories – all created by Lopezians with a flair for seeing potential in items given up as worn or superfluous. Good examples would be the trio of brightly painted indoor/outdoor wooden benches repurposed from discarded bedsteads by Tom and Debbie Collins, or an exquisite evening bag sewn from silk neckties by Mary Grace Lartz.

Almost without exception, the offerings will be hand crafted on Lopez and totally

unique. “With the degree of creativity on Lopez,

we never know what might come in the door, even at the last minute,” says Eppenbach. “Last year when we arrived at the hall to set up we found that Rita O’Boyle had dropped off a hat rack she created out of a floor lamp and other bits and pieces, complete with a variety of hand-sewn hats.” As a nod to the start of the holiday season, the organizers invited several Lopez artists to contribute

tabletop holiday décor created, naturally, from recyclables or repurposed treasures.

A sampling of additional items up for grabs: jewelry crafted from found objects, recycled calligraphy hangings, terrariums made from salvaged glass containers and the plastic bottle “chandeliers” and colorful “umbrellas” that wowed the audience at this year’s Trashion-Fashion Show. The auction will include a few Lopez adventures (such as a half-day sail for six aboard a 42-foot

schooner, with organic gourmet lunch) and services (such as two-hours of professional housecleaning). There’s even a refurbished Toyota Corolla. Trash-To-Treasures starts at 5:30 p.m. with a no-host bar and chili and cornbread supper available by donation. Chief Jim Ghiglione will wield the gavel during the live auction portion. Other items will be priced to sell on the spot. Look for a partial list of items at www.lopezsolidwaste.org/SWAP.

Island Hospital in Anacortes received the Washington State Hospital Association’s Community Health Leadership Award for its innovative approach to delivering mental health services to students in a rural setting.

The purpose of the Community Health Leadership Award is to recognize health-care organizations that provide a strong, “above and beyond” program to benefit the broader health needs of their communities. The award was presented during the association’s annual meeting on Oct. 16 at Bell Harbor International Conference Center in Seattle.

The school-based mental-health program began in 2013 with a needs assessment of the Anacortes community. The results showed that there was significant need for more mental-health and substance-abuse services. After consider-ing several different approaches to this challenge, Psychiatry & Behavioral Health at Island Hospital solicited support from a number of community partners to develop a school-based mental-health delivery model.

Joan White for San Juan County Clerk

We are writing to express our support for Joan White’s reelection as San Juan County Clerk.

We frequently have the opportunity to interact with Joan and her staff in the clerk’s office, and Joan’s long-time professional and responsive leadership sets a welcoming tone. We appre-ciate the professional and cordial demeanor set by Joan’s leadership and the competent manner in which the clerk’s office is admin-istered. In addition to pro-viding information and assis-tance to attorneys, Joan and her staff also assist members of the public with courtesy, patience and humor.

As clerk, Joan has many responsibilities, including overseeing the filing of legal documents by attorneys and members of the pub-lic, working with the Court Administrator to coordinate the Judge’s calendars, com-municating with courts in other jurisdictions and keeping all of us informed on new procedures. There are many other facets of the clerk’s position that can only be learned through experi-ence, and Joan White has that experience.

Joan has been our county clerk for eight years, and her leadership and wealth of

experience shows. We are voting for Joan White for San Juan County Clerk.

Yes to prop. 1Along with supporting

the Lopez School bond and the Lopez Solid Waste levy, please vote to support San Juan County Proposition 1. This “levy lid-lift” will replace the soon to expire levy passed by voters in 2009 and provides critical funding to many important programs including senior services, public health, county parks and emergency services, etc. If it fails, these programs will certainly face significant bud-get cuts. Please know that San Juan County will still have the lowest property tax rate in Washington State.

Vote YES for San Juan County Proposition 1.

Support for the school bond

Today I received my gener-al election ballot, and I happi-ly selected “Approved” for the Lopez Island School District bond measure. Here’s why: Our school’s physical plant needs significant mending to address a failing septic sys-tem, a bus loading area that doesn’t meet current safety standards, and a kitchen that isn’t up-to-date for health, safety, and education needs. Additionally, because of our school’s aging facilities, the district is losing out on efficiencies in the areas of energy, staffing, education standards and flexibility.

What I’ve heard and read has convinced me that this year’s bond measure offers the plans and budget to address these needs. At approximately 31 cents per $1,000 of assessed home value, this bond isn’t only a wise investment for me and

our entire community, it’s a bargain. Now is the time for us to take this important step to be good stewards of an island treasure – our K-12 school.

IRIS GRAVILLELopez Island

The undersigned support staff of Lopez School would like to speak in favor of the Capital Projects Bond. We, who work every day in the buildings that house our students, staff and programs understand too clearly that major work is overdue.

The structure of the school has deteriorated to the point that it daily affects the qual-ity of the work environment for students and staff alike. Flooring is damaged and even missing in some plac-es, as is the outdoor siding, which can cause water infil-tration. Heating and cooling are problematic with newer and antiquated systems that need to be brought up to date.

We are desperate for tech-nology infrastructure and equipment to keep us cur-rent. The fire alarm system is not linked between the elementary and secondary so that a fire could be occur-ring in one school and there would be no warning in the other. Plumbing and sewer systems have deteriorated to the point of needing constant repair. The students and staff deserve a professional and safe environment in which to learn and work.

As support staff we sup-port kids by safely trans-porting them to schools, by providing a clean, organized environment for them to learn in, by bandaging their wounds after picking them up out of the gravel on the playground, by providing technological assistance to enhance their learning, by preparing healthy meals for

their bodies and minds. We ask that you pitch in

and help support our chil-dren, your children, our community’s children by passing the current bond. The success and safety of our students are our focus. We believe that the revised amount of the proposed bond is far from frivolous and very much needed. Please join us in voting yes.

Concerns about school bond

I see that the only thing that’s changed from the origi-nal school bond proposal is that now they have a wish list. The problem is there are no costs for any of the repairs or upgrades on their list.

As a taxpayer, I have no idea if the work to be done will cost $9.6 million or $2.6 million.

What the superintendent and school board want the taxpayers to do is blindly give them $9.6 million dollars and they will pick a commit-tee to decide how to spend it. The budget in just the last three years has increased $413,747 or $1,863.72 per child and the state auditor found Lopez School financial management lacking to the

tune of $64,182 in penalties and late fees.

Being a taxpayer and look-ing at the numbers for just the last three years and the fact that I have no idea what any of the work will cost or even what work will be done, I still would not give this Superintendent or school board 9 cents to manage let alone $9.6 million dollars of taxpayer money.

Silent witnessThank you for the feedback

regarding the Silent Witness Project on Fisherman Bay Road. Creating the installa-tion has been a healing and enlightening experience for everyone involved. Some of you have asked me why we put up the Silent Witness Project when our island had no domestic violence fatali-ties last year.

Here’s why: There are men and

women in abusive relation-ships on our island right now. Survivors can be our friends, our neighbors, our family members and even ourselves. Do you know what an abusive relationship looks like? If your friend revealed that their partner hit them, what would you say? The

Silent Witness Project does not just remember the dead. It protects the living by edu-cating the community, start-ing the conversation among friends and showing survi-vors that we take domestic violence seriously.

If you want to show support, please attend our Community Vigil on Wednesday, Oct. 22 at 5 p.m. at the Lopez Center Outdo or Pavilion.

We will remember not only the names of those that died, but the nameless women and men who are experiencing relationship violence right now in our community. Your presence says to the com-munity that you support sur-vivors and will not tolerate violence. Thank you Parvin Baharloo, Migael Scherer, Jack Pedigo, Eleanor Burke, Liles in the Valley, Jaina Bee, the Lopez Library, the Lopez Center and everyone else who has donated time and resources to end the silence around domestic violence.

DVSAS provides FREE and CONFIDENTIAL ser-vices to survivors and their loved ones. Call our 24-Hour Crisis Line at 468-4567.

This Saturday, Nov. 1 at 4 p.m., Lopez’s newest author is set to launch Book Two of her young adult tril-ogy, “Headwinds,” at Lopez Library. With a dramatic reading from a chapter enti-tled “Googling the Enemy,” Gretchen Wing will re-introduce her heroine, 14-

year-old Jocelyn Burgowski, whom Lopezians first met last spring in “The Flying Burgowski.”

Wing did not plan to write a trilogy from the begin-ning, but her characters “weren’t done.” Out walking one day, she was “visited by a character who wanted

to become Jocelyn’s antago-nist. Even the name came to me. You don’t ignore those tugs.”

The time difference between the launch of Books One and Two is mirrored in their plots: “Headwinds” begins only a couple of months from

the end of “The Flying Burgowski.” But where the first book could be described as a coming-of-age novel, “Headwinds” features a darker theme. Someone wants to bring the Flyer down. Jocelyn has an enemy.

Beyond superpowers and family conflict, “Headwinds” delves into some heavy-duty social issues like homopho-bia and teen pregnancy. Wing credits the presiden-tial campaign season of 2008 with providing ideas for plot and character. “People were so nastily self-righteous. I thought about dedicating the book to Sarah Palin,” she jokes. “I’m pretty sure the book’s theme of ‘live and let live’ sprang from that time.”

Politics in a young adult novel? Isn’t Wing afraid of alienating readers? “No. I was a teacher; I believe in the power of cog-nitive dissonance—making someone uncomfortable in order to challenge beliefs. If my book makes someone uneasy for a time, I think that’s a good thing. I trust in

the characters’ charm, and the story’s pace and humor, to keep readers reading. Plus—there’s romance!” If the book were to be banned by some well-meaning school board, Wing says, so much the better.

Wing does struggle with the “young adult” label. Written from the point of view of a 14-year-old girl dealing with family relation-ships, friendship and that wonderful question, “Is this love?” the label seems to fit. But Wing’s experience with

“The Flying Burgowski” leads her to say, “It’s a young adult novel for young adults of all ages.”

Although Wing began “Headwinds” before moving to Lopez full-time, it was more challenging than she had expected to avoid let-ting the characters of fic-tional Dalby Island reflect real Lopezians. “I had to be careful,” she comments. “But I can safely say that all my characters were fully formed before I became fully integrated into this community. Phew.”

Joining Wing in the reading will be Anah-Kate Drahn, Gavin Goodrich, and Ron Metcalf. Author Q & A, book signing and refresh-ments will follow.

In this class, IOSA will discuss essential primary

care needs of oiled birds, including capture, handling and stabilization and give an overview of the logis-tics of responding to an oil spill in the islands, includ-ing the many ways com-munity members can help during a spill. We will also talk about the federal and state requirements for oil spill responders.

IOSA also of fers spill responder training for containment/exclusion/recovery, including on-the-water boom deployment drills, several times a year, as well as other classes. So if you prefer to work on the equipment side of oil spill response, or if you want to work with oiled birds but can’t make it to the Nov. 8

class, inform IOSA of your mailing and email address and make sure you receive their schedule of trainings that they send out twice a year. And please check out their website at: www.iosa-online.org. Be prepared before it happens.

Buffum believes the risks of an oil spill outweigh any reward that the prolifera-tion of would-be petroleum projects might bring.

“We’re in the center of fossil fuel export for North America,” she said. “Right here in little San Juan County.”

The threat of a potential oil spill in the Salish Sea is not only grabbing the atten-tion of locals, but that of state officials as well.

Funding in the 2014 state budget allowed the Department of Ecology to study and analyze the risks

to public health and safe-ty and the environmental impacts of transporting oil in Washington state.

The study found that pre-vention is the best means to reduce the risk of oil spills, and that an aggressive, well-coordinated response plan must be in place in collabo-ration with the state, the party responsible for the spill and other organiza-tions.

A public meeting to dis-cuss preliminary findings of the study and accept public comments is Oct. 30, 5 p.m., in Olympia.

Friends submitted com-ments to the governor’s office, is asking islanders to do the same and is orga-

nizing a carpool for the Olympia forum.

The goal of the drift-card project is three-fold: to inform the community about risks associated with increased tanker traffic, to develop a better under-standing of where oil might end up in the event of a spill and to accumulate data for a final report.

That final report, to be authored by the Raincoast Conservation Foundation (Friend’s partner in the drift card project), will present-ed to the National Energy Board of Canada, the orga-nization evaluating Kinder Morgan’s proposed pipeline expansion. Friends, along with its partners, will air

its “comments” about the would-be expansion at the Energy Board’s meeting in March.

By Gene Helfman Special to the Weekly

Lopez hosted their vol-leyball nemesis, Providence Classical Christian, and came away with a convinc-ing 3 games to 1 victory on Oct. 17 before a packed and vocal gym crowd. The Lobos’ record now stands at 6 and 1, their only loss this season being to Providence in an away match Oct 9.

Things didn’t begin very well. The Highlanders took the first game 25-21 in the best three-out-of-five con-test. The Lobos regrouped and won the next three, 25-19, 25-22 and 25-16. The third game see-sawed back and forth and was tied at

22 before Lopez pulled off three straight points for the victory.

Bree Swanson, Emalie Hobi and Shelby Prewitt took command of the court with over 20 kills. Jana Gruenwald and Anah Kate Drahn assisted with defen-sive blocking, and Mikayla Johnson swept through points with 3 in-a-row serv-ing aces and about a dozen for the match.

“The first game we were a little sleepy, and the team was out of focus,” said Coach Jeremiah Johnson. “But they seemed to wake up after I asked them if they were here to win or lose? ‘It’s your choice!’ That

seemed to do it.”With their strong show-

ing against Providence, Coach Johnson is optimistic about being in contention for first place in the league and performing well later at districts. Lopez has two remaining home matches against Tulalip (Oct. 24) and Highland Christian (Oct. 27), before moving on to Districts at Mt.Vernon Christian on Nov. 1.
