Blast from the past to raise SWAP funds today By Lorna Reese
Special to the Islands’ Weekly
A Batman-like hero. A 1940s era sailor. An attractive mother at a picket fence. Mystified by the retro Junk Bond posters you’ve spotted dotting island bulletin boards recently? Sarah Eppenbach, chair of Solid Waste Alternatives Program happily explains. “Even though the Solid Waste levy recently passed with one of the largest majorities in San Juan County history, we won’t receive any funds for months,” she said. “But we need $3,000 for start-up equipment and supplies for the Dump now so the board decided to initiate a modest fundraising effort that would be fun for Lopez and in keeping with the inventive spirit of other

A Memorable Thanksgiving Once again we witnessed the generosity of our small community as businesses, churches and individuals joined together to provide 49 families with a bountiful Thanksgiving meal. Pies, bread, turkeys, smoked salmon, fixins and other donations assured that these 180 community members could celebrate in their homes on Thanksgiving Day. The Lopez Island Family Resource Center staff and board thanks each and everyone of you!

SWAP events – like Trashion-Fashion last summer. Junk Bond revenue will pay for such items as safety vests and Kevlar gloves for volunteers, fire extinguishers, first aid kits, eyewash stations, a computer and printer, walkie-talkies, and grounds keeping tools.“ SWAP Board Member and Vice Chairwoman Kate Scott, came up with the idea of “Junk Bonds” inspired by U.S. War Bond programs used to raise funds during World Wars. “We liked the play on words, the strong message of unity and the idea of adapting that great poster art to generate public interest. Unlike historic War Bonds, however, our bonds are ‘junk,’” Eppenbach says. “They’re worthless in monetary terms, but priceless in value to our community.” Scott is the creative artist for the $25 bonds [shown above], “redeemable for absolutely nothing” except free shopping at the Take-It-Or-Leave-It. Glen Maxson, SWAP treasurer, produced the posters and placed them on island bulletin boards. Says Maxson, “When you buy a $25 Junk Bond, you get a frameable piece of art signed by Scott, you help out the Dump, and you invest in the island’s future as a clean, healthy environment where we residents recycle more and more and discard

less and less.” Lopez Junk Bonds, say SWAP board members, make the ultimate holiday gift. They’re locally made, packable, mailable and totally recyclable. Bonds and a limited run of Lopez Island Dump T-shirts will be sold at the Islander Craft Fair, Dec. 1 and 2 and at the Holiday Stress-Free Arts and Crafts Show at Port Stanley School, Dec. 8. SWAP has been officially reorganized as a nonprofit support organization to the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District with revised by-laws and a new board of directors. See www.lopezsolidwaste.org for more info about work being done by both LSWDD and the SWAP boards. LSWDD takes over the Lopez Dump site in January.

The recent election saw the recommendations of the Charter Review Committee affirmed by the voters, substantially changing the operations of our government in San Juan County. No longer will there be an absolute separation of powers, as Proposition 2 grants administrative authority to the council. Therefore our new council will play an active role in the operations of the county. Council members will need to be more efficient, logical and deliberate in setting policy and also in working directly with county staff in implementing policy. The new positions will require individuals who are able to set and carry out well-defined goals and objectives,

else the council will become hopelessly ineffective in providing quality county services. More importantly, the new council members will need to be in even closer contact with their constituents, ALL the residents of San Juan County. You may be asking yourself “Why is this important to me?” Over the next five months, the county will hold Special Elections and you will be asked to select candidates who you feel have the skills and experience that will allow them to serve you in this new role. As an island resident, I live here because I enjoy our unique way of life, living in a tight-knit community that works together for common goals. I want to make sure that council members have the capacity, time and experience, to protect our island culture. I am excited by the prospect of helping

Santa’s coming Lopez teachers honored by Evergreen Lopez teachers Diane Mayer and Elizabeth Simpson have received the 2012 Teacher of Excellence Award from The Evergreen State College. The award honors teachers who have made a difference in the lives of their students. They were nominated for the award by Jamie Cummins, a former Lopez High School student, who now attends Evergreen State College. Michael Zimmerman, academic vice president and provost at The Evergreen State College, explained, “In an attempt to encourage our students to think about teachers who made a difference, I asked our incoming students to nominate via email the teacher they felt made the big-
Santa and his merry band of photographers and elves will again arrive on Lopez for two Saturdays during the holiday season, meeting the needs of parents and grandparents to avoid the expensive and time-consuming trip to the mainland to secure their annual Christmas Santa photos. The next photo session will be held at the Lopez School Library on Dec. 1 from 10 a.m. to noon during the annual Christmas Thrift Shop sale. Santa isn’t just for kids anymore. Last year there were several adults on Santa’s lap –

gest difference in their education.” In nominating Mayer, Cummins noted that their math teacher motivated students to try their hardest, was always there for questions and works long hours just for the students. “She makes you care about math and was the one who got me through my high school years. She is more than just a teacher, she is a mentor,” Cummins added. Cummins said that Simpson engages her students in deep discussions and pushes students to go farther than what was thought possible. “She has taught me how to express myself in written words, how to hold dis-
cussions, and how to respect others. She makes her students care, we all respect her for her knowledge and caring ability,” Cummins said. Mayer and Simpson are two of 50 elementary, secondary-school or college teachers from ten states and two countries to receive the Excellence Award. Each teacher receives a certificate and a window decal. Zimmerman, creator of the award, said, “We are reminded every day that teachers change lives. What we wanted to do is encourage our students to think about teachers who have interacted with them in a professional setting and gone beyond the norm.”

Islands A Cappella presents ‘Tidings of Joy’ Islands A Cappella presents “Tidings of Joy: a festival of songs for the holidays� at Lopez Center for Community and the Arts, Dec. 1 at 6 p.m. The group has solidified their sound after spending last summer in Italy. Islands A Cappella joined 4,000 other choristers, singers, instrumentalists, conductors and composers in Turin, Italy at the Europa Cantat. For 10 days, musicians took over every performance and rehearsal space in this “little Paris of Italy,� to study, learn, and perform every kind of vocal and instrumental music imaginable. In one case, they even invaded a cooking school, to spend mornings singing about Italian food and then cooking it (and eating it, too). They met and sang with choristers from all over Europe. After performing their own open-air concert on a stage in the Borgo Mediavale, they were often hailed at other events as “that famous American choir,� much to everyone’s

The Lopez Island Library was pleased to bring Washington State Poet Laureate Kathleen Flenniken to the Lopez Island Elementary school to work with second through fifth graders on poetry exercises. Flenniken is the state’s poet laureate for 2012 – 2014. The second graders in Connie Holtz’s literacy class were informed as to what a poet laureate was, and were prepared to give Flenniken their “best attention.” Students had questions like, “How long have you been a poet?” and “Did you write the Dr. Seuss books?” Students wrote a “patchwork pet” poem where they created an imaginary pet with words. Flenniken’s latest book is “Plume.” Read more about her at http://www.kathleenflenniken. com/index.html.

pot inside his Acura sedan and had a modest amount in his possession when an officer happened upon the parked car at about 10 p.m. Nov. 4: A Lopez Island man believes either a dog or pack of dogs is responsible for killing half of his flock of turkeys in a late-night attack outside his Hummel Lake Road home. Eight of the 42-year-old’s 15 turkeys died in the attack, the aftermath of which he reportedly stumbled upon the following day.
