What dreams can tell us By Cali Bagby Weekly editor
Falling. Spitting out your teeth. Getting lost. Being chased. Reuniting with the dead. The world of dreams can be exquisite, startling and terrifying. What interests Carol Weiss about these visions are not just what appears, but what
each element of a dream can tell us about ourselves. “Dreams are from the depth of our psyche, not the surface,” she said. “What we do when we dream at night, what we are trying to do is solve our problems – the meaning of life problems.” Carol Weiss, a marriage and family therapist, has worked with clients to discov-

er meaning in their dreams as well as working on her own dream therapy for the last 40 years. Weiss is a Jungian psychotherapist who specializes in dream analysis in her Lopez practice. She trained at the CG Jung Institutes in San Francisco and London. Over the years she has learned that these subconscious visions provide us with “a deep storehouse of wisdom” within ourselves that can gives us psychological and spiritual support. In celebration of the power of dreams, Weiss is presenting the 30-minute DVD “Appointment with the Wise Old Dog - Dream Images in a Time of Crisis,” Thursday, Sept. 27, 5-6:30 p.m., at the Lopez Library meeting room. She will facilitate a discussion afterwards. The film features writings

Carol Weiss and 51 drawings that grew out of David Blum’s dreams. Blum was a musician and conductor, and wrote the script and finished the work while dying of cancer. The work is introduced and filled with accompaniment by his good friend and acclaimed cellist Yo-Yo Ma. The film follows Blum’s dreams, beginning when he was 17 until the end of his life. “The images are so beautiful and so eloquent and are shown in a way to give credence to how important dreams can be,” Weiss said. “So many times people attribute dreams to just something they ate or saw on TV.” This dismissal of our sleeping visions can be unhelpful, added Weiss, because a culture that does not study or validate dreams may be missing an opportunity to unite over a shared instinctive wisdom.

sional management. The Home Rule Charter we adopted in 2005 embraced the sound federal and state principle of separation of powers. The charter created three efficient branches of government the legislative branch to create the laws (county council); the executive branch to carry out the laws and manage the county (county administrator); and the judicial branch to interpret the laws (hearing examiner). Unfor tunately, some members of the CRC want to take a giant step backwards. Proposition 2 would annihilate the constitutional principal of Separation of Powers.

The power granted by the citizens to the administrator would be given it back to the council. This is a really bad idea. These are not the old days. Citizens deserve to have one professional individual at the helm who has the education, background and credentials to properly run our county. This individual must be given the power to carry out the laws. It is unfortunate but true that the former BOCC refused to cede power to the administrator, but these things take time. As Pete Rose said, six years is the blink of an eye in government. Give it time. It is working. It will work even better when new council members are elected this fall. Please do not give the council the power to micromanage county department heads. The council must stay out of day-to-day county business. It did not work then and it will not work now. What successful company is run by three presidents? Separation of Powers is a sound principle. Please reject Proposition 2. We must move forward, not backward.
as county propositions on the November ballot will: (1) reduce the six person part-time council down to a three person full-time council elected county-wide with one member from each of the three island residency districts, (2) replace the position of county administrator who works independently with limited oversight with a county manager who works for the council, therefore for us the tax payers, and (3) require all council meetings to be open except those allowed by law. Passage of County Proposition No. 1 will eliminate the possibility of six part-time paid council positions evolving into six fulltime paid positions (with the associated retirement benefits). The current charter does not limit the council to being part-time paid positions. This could easily become reality, if not with the present council but with future ones, since council members work more than part-time now. Also passage of Proposition No. 1 will help eliminate the divisiveness between islands that was created as a result of the six-member council elected within six separate districts. This new separatist attitude has caused political disengagement between islands since inception of the sixmember council and needs to be jettisoned. These islands need to be unified and the current charter has damaged this concept. We should never forget that these islands must be inclusive and this can be accomplished by the way we govern ourselves. Our local government held our

Summer youth success
Contributed photo / Charlie Behnke
LICC on the move at Iceberg Point. Lopez Island Conser vation Corps Program Leaders Amanda Wedow and Charlie Behnke are proud to announce that “LICC has just completed their most successful and productive summer youth season on record, with 13 youth participants working an estimated six miles of trail and logging more than 700 youth service hours!” The youth spent nine weeks working hard, learning and exploring public lands in San Juan County. This season LICC was contracted by Bureau of Land Management and Friends of the LIFE trail to perform extensive trail building, maintenance, and environmental education on south Lopez BLM sites, Patos Island and the LIFE trail. BLM’s Recreation Manager Nick Teague was pleased to see the crews work. “I am just blown away by the amount and quality of work the LICC crew has accomplished this season; y’all are a priceless asset to these public lands and the community,” he said. LICC received special funding from BLM this season to integrate more environmental education and skill-building opportunities

into the program. Time was set aside each crew day for lessons including sustainable trail design, Leave No Trace/Tread Lightly ethics, tool maintenance and sharpening, using a compass, knot tying, natural history of local flora and fauna, geology, hydrology, and more. “It’s great to see the program growing and developing in new ways,” Behnke said. “I am especially excited about the educational portion. In the future I hope to incorporate a diversity of local experts to share their knowledge and skills with these youth.” This year has been a momentous year for LICC, said Wedow. “We obtained 501(c)3 nonprofit status making us eligible for many more grants and tax deductible donations (wink-wink), we helped to establish San Juan Island Conservation Corps who had a terrific first season, a van was donated to LICC by the Loyd family, the second annual Procession of the Species Celebration last April was a magnificent success, and then to have such a strong season; go LICC go,” she added. Keep your eyes out for LICC monthly projects and learning opportunities throughout fall, winter and spring. For more information contact l.i.c.c.team@gmail.com or visit lopezconservationcorps.org.
When the Lopez Island Family Resource Center offered a “Start a Small Business” class in 2007, no one expected it to spark such a great interest in the community. But five years later, 110 people have completed that course and many more have taken other classes in what has become known as the LIFRC’s Employment and Life Skills Program. According to the LIFRC, the basic goal of the program is to increase employment skills and promote self-sufficiency, and they strive to provide classes appropriate for both aspiring and current business owners. Past participants have represented a diverse array of business endeavors, from salons to art studios, bookshops to cafés. For recent participant Hawk Arps, a long-time Lopezian and professional musician who admits he has no formal business training, ELS classes have been a great resource in preparing him to take over his father’s business. The elder Arps founded Jan Arps’ Traders’ Toolbox in 1992, but will soon retire. The company “creates and sells software that analyzes financial markets,” says Arps. Because the business is completely web-based, classes such as James Dunn’s “Online Marketing” and Susan Young’s “Social Media” have been of particular interest to him. Arps says
the classes have helped him develop an understanding of business fundamentals, and he praises the instructors, commenting that Dunn, for instance, is a “fun and very bright teacher.” LIFRC Program Coordinator Patsy Haber says she enjoys facilitating connections between dynamic instructors and talented local business-

She plans to expand the program with new offerings, including a facilitated peer support group for business owners, classes specifically for Spanish speakers and low-income women, and more life skill classes such as cooking.

SWAP meeting and solid waste update Eat Dinner with The Solid Waste Alternatives Program will hold an organizational meeting to adopt permanent bylaws and elect board members on Sept. 24 from 7-9 p.m. at the library meeting room. Members of the managing board of the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District will be on hand as well to present an update about plans for the Lopez Dump, which the district will take over in January 2013. SWAP was founded in December 2011 as a nonprofit organization with provisional bylaws and directors, and with a mission of establishing a locally-controlled solid waste operation on Lopez. With the formation of the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District, the focus of SWAP shifted to that of a support organization dedicated to

positive decisions children will make, which includes eating their greens. That is why the Lopez Island Prevention Coalition invites you to join them in promoting Eat Dinner with your Family Day on Sept. 24. Your daily investments of frequent family meals will pay big dividends. In Time magazine in an article entitled, “The Magic of the Family Meal” studies show, “the more often families eat together, the less likely kids are to smoke, drink, do drugs, get depressed, develop eating disorders and consider suicide, and the more likely they are to do well in school, delay having sex, eat their vegetables, learn big words and know which fork to use.” Also, a report by the National Center of Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University shows that teens who sit down with their family for dinner on a regular basis are less likely to use alcohol, marijuana, tobacco or others drugs. Joseph A. Califano, Jr., a former secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, said, “in today’s busy and overscheduled world, taking the time to come together for dinner really makes a difference in a child’s life.” Parents, do you want to strengthen your relationship your children? According to this same report by CASA, teens who have frequent family dinners are twice as likely to say they have an “excellent” relationship with their parents. The most magical thing about these facts is that it doesn’t matter what you eat, where you eat or what you talk about. The only thing that matters is you are together, sharing time with one another. Additional information can be found on www.casafamilyday.org, www.times. com or www.webmd.com.
Another award Guardian grounded – damage unknown for Sewer District
Fisherman Bay Sewer District was recognized as an “Outstanding Plant” for 2011, for the fourth consecutive year. The award, from the Washington state Department of Ecology, acknowledges a record of no water quality permit violations and complete and timely administrative submissions. The award affirms the effectiveness of the district’s wastewater plant and the investments the district has made over the last few years to improve the plant’s performance. Also, it is recognition of the good efforts and diligence of all the district’s employees and commissioners. “We are proud of our ability to meet our permit requirements and we try to provide reliable and responsive service to our customers, who, after all, own and pay for our system. It is satisfying to provide service to the community and have acknowledgement that we do a good job,” said Geoff Holmes, the district’s superintendent for the last ten years. Holmes, who will be retiring in 2013, also stated, “It will be good to go with everything working well and with many future projects for the next superintendent to organize and complete.” The sewer district will soon be advertising for applicants for the position.
According to Holmes, the job offers many challenges and rewards. Ability to manage employees, meet a budget, solve problems, work indoors at a desk and outdoors in the field and at the plant are all part of the position. Community service, year round reliable income and benefits and interaction with a good group of Commissioners and staff are some of the rewards. “Though not a glamorous field, wastewater treatment is an essential component in our community life. I will have some regrets letting go of a very good job,” said Holmes. Persons with interest in the position may contact Peggy Gordon, the district’s clerk or Geoff Holmes to get more information.
The extent of the repair ahead for San Juan County Sheriff’s boat Guardian has yet to be determined. The Guardian ran aground on a submerged reef near Sinclair Island, just north of Cypress Island, Saturday, Sept. 8, while shuttling a San Juan Island EMS crew and three people injured in a golf cart rollover crash at about 1 a.m. on Decatur Island. The Guardian, piloted by a Sheriff’s deputy at the time, was en route to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bellingham when it struck the reef roughly 45 minutes after leaving Decatur. The deputy at the helm is licensed the U.S. Coast Guard as a captain, according to the Sheriff’s Department. After the Guardian ran aground, a Coast Guard cutter was dispatched from Bellingham to transport the three people injured in the golf cart crash to the hospital. The Guardian was lifted off the reef by a rising tide later that day, and travelled under its own power to a boat yard in Bellingham for damage assessment. As of Thursday, Sheriff Rob Nou said the department has yet to receive a detailed list of the damage or the amount of repair that will be required. Nou said injuries to those in the golf cart were non-life
threatening and that the crash remains under investigation. The Guardian, outfitted to serve as a marine ambulance, is regularly used to transport medical patients to the mainland throughout the San Juan Islands. In addition to the Guardian, the department has two other boats, a 28-foot Boston Whaler typically stationed on Orcas Island and used as the primary patrol boat, and a 19-foot vessel stationed on Lopez.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) 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.

other ancient cultures like the Babylonians believed good dreams were sent by the gods and the bad dreams were sent by demons. Even the Bible talks about the power of prophetic dreams like Jacob’s ladder. In her life, Weiss has studied her dreams in relationship to big transitions including her decision to move to Lopez after a two-year absence. While living in California, she longed for the islands and one night she dreamt that she was at an empty Anacortes Ferry Terminal at dawn and there was no boat waiting. “I knew a boat would be coming soon, seeing the terminal for that potential helped me to understand that I would be coming home, but I was not quite ready yet,” she said. Within six months, she was back on island. Not all dreams are as easy to decipher, she said; most dreams are elusive, especially to the dreamer, and can often feel random or without meaning.
A GREAT BIG THANKS
to all for making the 2012 and 9th 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!

Weiss compares dreams to the production of a film. We all have an “inner” producer making the dream, a director that creates the action, a scriptwriter to tell the story, a casting director for characters and the prop manager. The “inner” prop manager picks things from the day to use to tell the story, like the use of the ferry to tell Weiss about how she felt about returning home. Weiss said even seemingly random images from TV can symbolize something that has meaning in our lives. “Why would we go to all that trouble if there is no meaning – it’s a big job doing this for ourselves each night,” she said. We all dream, Weiss added, but we often don’t remember. The nights that fill our sleeping minds with startling or beautiful images or strong emotional content are the ones that hold repeating themes that may be telling us “to pay attention.”

Blum, whose work will be shown at the library, not only looked into his dreams, but decided to explore and process them in a public way that others could tap into, which is one of the reasons Weiss decided to present his film. “I know it will bring things up for people,” Weiss said. “And it might be a way to encourage people to pay attention to what their dreams are saying.” For more info on Blum, visit www.davidblummusiciananddreamer.com.
