September 16, 2014 edition of the Islands' Weekly
Citation preview
A fisherman found decomposed human remains with a wallet in a collapsed tent located off-trail in a secluded area of Moran State Park near the bridge over the Cascade Lake lagoon on Sept. 6. The wallet contained a Texas driver’s license for a person from Plano, Texas.
County Coroner Randall Gaylord said that the remains were too decom-posed to match the driver’s license with the remains, and that he will arrange for a dental examination and search out dental records. In the meantime, fam-ily members of the person identified in the driver’s
license have been contacted to provide assistance in the identification.
According to Gaylord, the cause of death was not apparent from the view of the scene, and that a com-plete forensic examina-tion will take place at the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office.
“Our first objective is to determine who this is and to notify his family,” Gaylord said.
A medium-sized backpack in nearly new condition was nearby. It contained a com-
puter, a change of clothes and certificates of gradu-ation from Kansas State University with a master’s in electrical engineering and also from other schools. A Seattle Times newspaper for May 21, 2014 was also found in the backpack. No food or other camping equipment was found.
Anyone who might have information is invited to call the San Juan County Sheriff at 378-4151 or the County Prosecutor/Coroner at 378-4101.
Submitted by Lopez SchoolLopez School District facilities are falling apart, and
district officials are worried about keeping up with safety, health, and educational standards. This was the key mes-sage Superintendent Bill Evans delivered to the Lopez School Board recently, when he recommended that the district place a $9.6 million capital projects bond request on the November ballot. The board concurred with the super-intendent’s concerns and approved the recommendation.
This new bond request represents significant revisions from the $16.5 million renovation project proposed in 2013, which did not meet with voter approval. Evans’ recommen-dation reflected a concerted effort by the district to respond
to the messages it intuited from the last bond attempt and the significant community input sought and received since that election. The message was very clear, stated Evans, that the community values its Lopez and Decatur Schools and wants what is best for its students, including safe, healthy, and educationally sound schools.
“The voters may have balked at the cost of the last request, but clearly said they would consider something that was reasonably reduced in price,” Evans’ said.
This current request is approximately 40 percent less than the original request, but 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, trimming back on refurbishment of classrooms, and eliminating origi-nal plans for water catchment for irrigation, the District is able to present a responsive revised request to the voters.
While reserving detailed pricing of specific components for a proposed design process, including an advisory com-mittee of staff, community, and students, it is estimated that approximately two thirds of the funding will be devoted to fixing, renovating, and upgrading the buildings to safety and health standards. Approximately one third of the funding will be committed to classroom renovations and other efforts to meet current educational standards. Lopez
pays significantly more than other comparative districts for basic utilities and maintenance. The bond project will create greater efficiencies in energy and other costs so that those savings can be devoted to student learning. Other potential efficiencies will be achieved by re-configuration of office and administrative spaces. Safety will be enhanced by addressing security and safety issues, such as fire suppres-sion systems and alarms, and developing systems to secure the campuses in the event of danger.
By hiring an experienced project supervisor, relying upon the considered expertise of the architect and engi-neering team, and taking advantage of Superintendent Evans’ leadership experience in school construction proj-ects, District officials are confident they will have the expertise and oversight needed to successfully manage this critical renovation project.
Taxpayer cost is estimated to be an additional $0.30-$0.35 cents per thousand dollars of assessed property, 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 averages.
District officials will be sharing more details about the bond proposal at public meetings and in various publica-tions. For more info contact Superintendent Evans at [email protected], or 360-468-2202.

A GREAT BIG THANKS to all for making the 2014 and 11th Annual Home Tour a major success! This, the biggest fund-raiser for the Lopez Center for the Community and Arts, is critical as it provides an important portion of the LCCA’s annual operations budget. The proceeds, in turn, allow the
LCCA to keep event prices low so all Lopezians can enjoy the varied events.
BUT the success of the Home Tour requires help from a multitude of people and organizations. They include the home owners for providing their houses, the organizing committee and volunteers who spend countless hours
before, during, and after the September event, the generous on- and off-island business and individual
sponsors, and last but not least the people who buy tickets and visit the homes.
THANK YOU ALL AGAIN FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND PARTICIPATION. SEE YOU AGAIN NEXT SEPTEMBER!

Even the names are totally awesome. Every time I read a complaint my head shakes
and I think, “Really?” I must let those serving know that I am grateful - that not all of us are complaining.
I’m having a hard time feel-ing sorry for those who are
under the noise of the planes. They moved there knowing there was a military base. Their choice. Now they are trying to force the planes elsewhere? We all should be grateful for this base. What are they supposed to do? Move every base where people decide to build under their flight paths? How…silly.
It seems we Americans have become so spoiled with
freedom that we are numb to what much of the world lives with, and the freedom that this very military base helps provide us. Every time that sound vibrates through my whole body and shakes the ground under me, I want to stand up and shout, “Thank you!! I am so glad for you!!”
Think of those flying the planes, maintaining them - of their purpose - of how they feel when their entire life is thankless, griped about, and fought against by the very people protected by them. It seems some want the free-dom without the sacrifice.
Shame on us.Is it perfect? Of course
not. Is it sometimes corrupt? Probably. So should we ship the navy off to the middle of a desert? Again…silly. (A desert wouldn’t be affected?) Over half of our borders are on oceans. There is a price for freedom for us all. If those in power decide to do more of its training inland, so be it. But I think they are perfectly capable of deciding. We don’t know the half of what those in office do, whether that’s good or not.
Why not practice some gratefulness and focus on the positive. If we don’t want to hear the noise, we don’t have to move to those affected areas of Whidbey or Lopez Islands. After all, this is a military base. Lets not strip it of its effectiveness.

By Ed HaleSJC Utilities manager
With fall approaching we once again look toward the rainy season.
Last year the season started with a shockingly large storm event that over-whelmed our Eastsound storm sewer system. With that memory almost one year behind us, the Stormwater Utility is mov-ing into the final phase of countywide stormwater management planning.
We have completed Volume 1 of the County Stormwater plan, which describes the nature of 37 drainage basins in terms of the geology, hydrology, cur-rent land use and potential development.
Based on that informa-tion, Volume 1 makes some broad suggestion for how we can manage stormwater. These range from devel-oping more detailed plans in focus basins, includ-ing Eastsound and Lopez Village, to utilizing the treatment capacity avail-able in existing ecological systems, such as wetlands, ponds and ditches. More specifics regarding these and other recommenda-tions are presented in the recommendations section of Volume 1.
What does that mean for you and the planning pro-cess?
Take a look at the report and recommendations on the county web site and then come to one or more of the open house events scheduled during the week of Sept. 15. You will have an opportunity to ask ques-
tions of and suggest favor-able options to the manag-ers, scientists, citizens and engineers that are working on this plan.
We will also be unveiling the “Top 20” list of capital projects. These are the proj-ects that will be presented to the Citizens Stormwater Advisory Committee for final ranking and eventual construction. This list was developed based on the results of Volume 1, exist-ing drainage plans, and issues reported through the stormwater issue website
that was available to citizens earlier this year.
See you at the open house.

by Liz TaylorIf you want to learn mountain climbing, you won’t start
with Mount Everest. If you yearn to become a great cook, I doubt you’ll begin by hosting a huge dinner party. For all things that are complicated and worth knowing, it takes time, education, practice and patience to learn the tricks, absorb the subtleties and understand what’s really involved.
So it’s funny that most of us don’t think about the complicated, expensive, emotional and important phe-nomenon of our own aging.
Put another way: just about everybody thinks every-one else is getting older, except themselves. It’s always the other guy! You’re getting old, but I’m not.
Poor health or simple frailty can make aging a vastly different story, and few of us prepare ahead of time. It’s not fun to think about becoming sick (physically or cognitively, or both). But not thinking about it — and not putting into place the systems that will protect us — won’t make it go away. It just leaves us vulnerable, with fewer options and, often, very little control over what happens.
Chances are good that most of us will live a long time. People 85 and over are the fastest-growing segment of the US population; those over 100 are increasing dramati-cally. 70 percent of us are expected to require assistance before we die. Some will need help a few hours a week, others 24/7. We can’t predict.
Like anything complicated, aging well takes planning. The ideal age to begin is in your early 50s when you’re not in a crisis and can take your time. However, it’s not too late in your 90s. The trick is to do it before calamity falls on your head like a ton of bricks.
Here are five essential, basic questions:1. Are your Advance Directives in place, naming
people you trust (and live near by), who are able to watch out for your health and finances when you can’t?
2. Do you live in a home that allows you to live indepen-dently if you can’t handle stairs or lose your vision?
3. How will you get groceries if you can no longer drive?
4. Who will care for you when you need assistance?5. How will you pay for your care when family and
friends can’t?Planning for your aging can be surprisingly fun and
interesting. The more you know, the more you’ll see how interconnected the pieces are.
None of us ever has total control over our lives, but there are things we can do while we’re healthy that will protect our interests when we’re not. Once you start, you’ll look at the world differently.
This October, I will offer an introductory workshop through the Lopez Island Family Center on planning for your aging. If there’s enough interest, I’ll do others on specific topics in subsequent months. Watch the Islands’ Calendar, Lopez Rocks and the Family Center’s Class schedule for details.

Submitted by Wolf HollowFor most animal relat-
ed nonprofits raising money to fund desperately needed projects requires a Herculean ef for t. Fortunately for Wolf Hollow this may no longer be the case. Today Wolf Hollow
is proud to announce their second project listed with LoveAnimals.org, a pio-neering new crowdfunding website that helps animal welfare and wildlife con-servation nonprofits con-nect with donors to raise
money for critically needed projects.
“Animal welfare and wild-life conservation non-prof-its currently receive only 2 percent of all giving in America” said LoveAnimals.org founder, Sarah Timms. “As a result, most animal non-profits struggle to raise enough money to cover their operating bud-gets, let alone fund projects that are critically needed. We created LoveAnimals.org so organizations like Wolf Hollow can access crowdfunding resources and reach a larger pool of donors.”
Wolf Hollow’s second project will focus on Riot and Rowdy, two orphaned river otter kits, who need food and care for six months until they are ready to be released back into the wild.
They will be asking donors for $5,000 to cover these costs.
“We are very excited to be involved again with LoveAnimals.org” said Julie Duke, execu-tive director. “There are so many projects that we need funding for and in the past it has been diffi-cult to reach a wider audi-ence to help realize those needs. LoveAnimals.org has changed this entirely and we are excited to see what we can achieve again with their help. Last year we were able to raise the funds necessary to reha-bilitate two bald eaglets until they were ready to be released. We are hoping to do the same for our river otter kits this year.”
Wolf Hollow’s project will run from now until Oct. 18. To learn more, visit www.loveanimals.org/wild/otter-rehabilitation.html.

SEE VACANCIES, PAGE 8
Today, Lynn Peterson, Secretary of the Washington State Department of Transportation, announced the appointment of Lynne Griffith as Assistant Secretary for the Washington State Ferries Division.
She officially begins her leadership role next month with responsibilities includ-ing guiding the ferries management team and all ferries employees to meet safety, operational and budgetary goals, and col-
laborating effectively with community and labor partners and other WSDOT divisions. Griffith will be the first woman to hold the position of Assistant Secretary for the Washington State Ferries Division.
“I am very pleased Lynne is joining the WSDOT team and I want to thank Captain George Capacci for serving in the interim role,” said Secretary Peterson. “Our ferry system is an iconic symbol of the state of
Washington and a vital link in our statewide transportation system. It will be in good hands with Assistant Secretary Griffith.”
Griffith has more than 35 years experi-ence in the transportation industry in tran-sit, airlines and rail, from entry-level opera-tions to executive management. Highlights of her background include: currently serv-ing as the Chief Executive Officer of Pierce Transit and formally at C-TRAN in Clark
County, and managing bus and specialized transportation for people with disabilities at one of the largest transit authorities in the United States, MARTA, in Atlanta, Georgia.
“I am excited to work with the 1,700 men and women who are responsible for provid-ing such an important transportation con-nection to Washingtonians,” said Griffith. “It
tacted a male subject who was having a break from reality. The subject was taken to the hospital.

• A San Juan Island dep-uty responded to an uncon-scious man in the roadway near Roche Harbor. The man was treated and trans-ported by EMS.
• A Lopez deputy responded to a person seek-ing mental health assis-tance. It was determined the person had abused illegal substances and was trans-ported off the island for fur-ther treatment.

is no small task to operate service reliably and safely on such a large scale, and I am looking forward to this opportunity.”
Also today, Secretary Peterson sent a memo to Governor Inslee with short- and long-term consider-ations to move the division forward under Griffith’s leadership.
“Coming from an island community that relies heavily on WSF services, I personally understand and appreciate how this lead-
ership role is important to keeping the economic engine of Washington run-ning,” said Governor Inslee.
“I am pleased someone as capable and experienced as Lynne Griffith is joining our team to make this system even better.”
Washington State Ferries operates 163,000 scheduled sailings annually, with a reli-ability rate of 99.5 percent year to date in 2014.

Something so simple could result in great out-comes. After more than a decade of research by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University we know that children of all ages benefit from a regular family meal-time. Better grades, healthi-er eating habits, closer rela-tionships, ability to resist negative peer pressure and resilience in the face of life’s problems are all positive outcomes from shared fam-ily mealtime.
More mealtimes at home was the single strongest fac-tor in better achievement scores and fewer behavioral
problems. Children who participate in regular family mealtime are more likely to eat more fruits and veg-etables and are less likely to suffer depression and alcohol or substance depen-dencies.
Here are five tips to a healthy and successful fam-ily mealtime:
Involve your Family• Ask your family to
choose a new healthy dish to try or have them help in the kitchen.
Be Adventurous• Pick out a fruit or vege-
table that you’ve never tried before and prepare it in a
recipe.Set an Example• Children typically
carry eating habits they learn from early age. Set a positive example by eating a verity of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains
and lean protein.Make Mealtime Fun• Encourage your family
to participate in mealtime by make it fun. Create a weekly dinner, such as Taco Friday, or “bring a friend on Thursday” night.
Make Mealtime Family Time
• Talk about your day. Make it positive and fun by telling funny stories and asking questions.
Sept. 22 is National Family Day. The Lopez
Island Prevention Coalition invites you to celebrate fam-ilies by implementing the power of mealtime. Create a positive and healthy atmosphere and establish a healthy mealtime habit your children will want to con-tinue throughout their lives. It’s amazing how a simple thing can bring such great results.
