Lopez gets its own planning review committee By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
Lopez Village and Eastsound now have another thing in common, a plan-
ning review committee. At a Tuesday meeting at the community center on Lopez Island, March 18, the San Juan County Council formally abolished

the prior ad-hoc village planning committee and established a full-scale seven-member planning review committee, much like the seven-member Eastsound Planning Review Committee on Orcas Island. The ad-hoc committee was formed in 2009 to begin the planning process for Lopez Village, the island’s commercial center, but according to the Village Resiliency Project (lopezvillageresilencyproject.wordpress.com) report, planning for Lopez Village has been ongoing since the 1970s. The new Lopez Planning Review Committee is now accepting membership applications. Councilman Jamie Stephens expects the committee will be formed
in three weeks and will be working for 12 to 18 months to produce a sub-area plan. That plan will be reviewed and amended by the county planning department before being added to the county comprehensive plan and becoming part of the building code. Like its sister planning committee in Eastsound, the Lopez panel will have a broad charter. They will consider matters such as lighting, landscaping, parking, bicycle and pedestrian access, building standards, stormwater management and density, and views and aesthetics. Linda Kuller, a planner in the Community Development and Planning department, will staff the Lopez planning commit-

Grass roots opposition to noise from EA 18G “Growlers” is spreading to the San Juan Islands. The noise from thousands of engine tests and training runs by new EA 18G “Growlers” and other planes at Naval Air Station Whidbey and Outlying Landing Field Coupeville has generated two recent community meetings on Lopez and San Juan islands, and another meeting at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 15, at the Grange in Friday Harbor. At the meeting on Lopez last month,

about 70 islanders complained that increased noise and the number of missions impact their quality of life and property values. Leaders of Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve presented additional information about multiple health and hearing problems caused by the planes. Ebey’s Reserve is the location of OLF Coupeville. COER encouraged Lopezians to join their movement to have the “touchand-go” training runs by the Growlers moved to other, less populated areas – such as the 1.1 million acre China Lake, Calif., naval weapons station in the Mojave Desert.

Friday Harbor, the subject was not on the agenda for Lopez Island - until a Navy Growler roared nearby during the meeting, temporarily silencing the meeting until Stephens quipped, “That’s what a jet sounds like when it goes over Lopez Island.” Stephens noted that he is arranging for a site visit for concerned Lopezians to NAS Whidbey in the coming weeks, after which the council may invite NAS Whidbey leadership to a town hall or council meeting at a future date. Any Lopezian interested in serving on the Lopez P.R.C. should submit an application, which can be found at sanjuanco.com/council/ CommitteeVacancies.aspx.

Her first task, she says, will be to review what has been accomplished so far, and to guide the committee through a scoping process to produce a work plan. The Eastsound sub-area plan already includes many of the same considerations. The Eastsound Planning Review Committee is currently considering amendments to village development rules, like how much retail extension will be permitted in the airport area and what kind of street food kiosks and drive through coffee establishments will be permitted.

and expansions of the Canadian Trans-Mountain tar-sands oil pipeline and Delta Port come to pass, they will add 2,600 more vessel trips yearly through our treacherous waterways. This 26 percent increase in the number of ship passages is significant, but what is alarming is that 816 trips will be supertankers (increasing from 10 to 68 a month) carrying oil derived from the tar-sands of Alberta. Anacortes refineries already ship tar-sands oil
through Rosario Strait. This oil may behave in uncertain ways in our cold, sediment rich waters where a quantity is likely to sink rendering current clean-up technology ineffective or impossible. Many safety systems are in place to ensure that nothing like the Exxon Valdez disaster occurs here, but a vessel traffic study soon to be released concludes that the oil spill risk from collisions/ groundings, linked to projected increased traffic, increases by 36.9 per-

Spotlight on Lopezians by GretchenWing
Ian Lange, Lopez Island Ian Lange has just been asked, “Where is the most thrilling place you’ve ever stood?” Ian has been to Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Croatia, Cuba, Indonesia, Peru, Romania, Slovenia, Tanzania and that’s only an alphabetized, partial list. Ian is a geologist. He makes a point of standing in thrilling places. He has a lot to choose from. His answer, therefore, is a surprise: “It’s hard to beat the North Cascades.” Really? Somewhere so close? “When you’re up there, my God, it’s just incredible. You can’t get any more alpine, and it goes on forever.” Geology need not be exotic to be thrilling. Growing up in the New York suburb of Tenafly, Ian majored in geology at Dartmouth because he “liked rocks.” The first generation of his family to earn a degree, Ian headed west for a job in Alaska, discovering Seattle along the way. It was 1962, and with the World’s Fair in full swing, Seattle “looked like a cool city.” Back at Dartmouth for his master’s, Ian kept Seattle in mind. But first he had Barrow to deal with, spending a winter drilling through permafrost with the Army Corps of Engineers. In winter, “the only smells up there are from the mess hall and from these things they have called Destroylets” (a natural-gas toilet). But that grueling Army Corps work kept him out of the draft, so later, when he headed for University of Washington for his doctorate, Ian was able to finish his degree without getting sent to Vietnam. Geologists get hired by oil companies, so Ian took a job with Mobile in Fresno. There, in 1969, he met Jo-Ann Thome, a teacher, at a party. Calling her up the next day to ask for a date, Ian received an unusual excuse: “I can’t, I’ve just fallen off a horse.” In fact, Jo-Ann’s horse had fallen,
injuring her so badly that their first date had to wait six weeks. “And even then, her knee was still swollen and purple, so I knew she hadn’t just been telling me a story.” Well suited for a life of mutual adventure, the couple married that same year. After three years in Fresno, Ian was hired to teach at the University of Montana in Missoula. Teaching suited him immediately. He especially loves teaching intro courses to non-majors, trying to turn them on to the delights of the field, or at the graduate level. “Rock hounds,” he says, aren’t really what geology is about; geologists are “the real historians of the world.” As much as Ian enjoys working with students, he devotes plenty of time to exercising his own passions. Besides having run several marathons, Ian skis, bikes, and climbs mountains. Discovering all the planet has to offer, Ian and Jo-Ann are inveterate travelers. This spring, for example, they will head for Turkey as a jumping-off point for a tour of all the former Soviet “Stans” – i.e., Uzbekistan – and then, in the summer, they travel to Sumatra to see the world’s largest volcano. How could a geologist not?

(Above) Ian in 1972 at an Alaska geological lunch break. (Right) Ian Lange now. When not traveling or working in Montana, though, Lopez is home. Ian and Jo-Ann discovered Lopez on a bicycle trip, over the mountains from Montana in 1977. San Juan and Orcas both felt too “busy,” says Ian, so he asked about Lopez. “’Oh, you won’t like it,’ the realtor said, ‘it’s full of rednecks and hippies.’ So we said, Hey, sounds like a cool place!” They’ve been coming back ever since. But the Langes are hardly part-timers. Ian is a regular volunteer at the Dump, the Thrift Shop, the Home Tour, and the Lions Club Fourth of July race (Ian helps design the T-shirt,
but of course he also runs the 10k). “When you have a community like this, where people are really in tune with preservation...that’s the thing about the San Juans...you’ve got a group of people who realize the value of this place.” Even for such a world traveler, who knows the Earth literally inside and out, being part of the Lopez community is still its own thrill.

The romance and practicality of the Lopez Island Seed Library Submitted by Lopez Community Land Trust Seed Library Special to the Weekly
Seeds are genetic time capsules moving through the world one season at a time. Many plants and their seeds have co-evolved with humans, and these human/ plant relationships have produced a vast biodiversity of plants that we humans cherish as food, fiber, fuel, shelter, tools, medicine, and beauty. In return, the plants thrive with our care. Through time, as plants
have expressed their genes, keen and observant people have selected those with desirable traits and saved their seed. Thus squash became sweeter, kale more cold hardy, beans more productive and drought resistant, or a flower more fragrant. Together the plants and humans leave a legacy. Lopez Community Land Trust Seed Librarian Charlie Behnke explains his the intimate seed saving experience. “As I grow plants and select those with which I save seed from, I

see the plant’s entire life cycle and I observe what the foragers and gardeners before me, for thousands of years, saw in this plant, and then I leave my own contribution.” Seed saving is romantic, but it also makes very practical and an extremely important part of a resilient food system. Today, over 75 percent of the world’s agricultural seed supply is in the hands of ten companies. These companies are not focused on maintaining agricultural biodiversity and regional food systems, but rather aim to dominate a global food system with high-tech crops that are reliant on high inputs of synthetic chemicals, with the majority of their seed having proprietary restrictions for growers, such as not being able to save seed. Fortunately there is the other 25 percent of seed, and that includes open-pollinated plant varieties. These are what a seed saver looks for. Open-pollinated means a plant variety that can produce seed that is ‘true to type’ for that variety. These are the varieties that have been passed through the ages, grandma’s heirloom beans. These seeds are generally open-source and can
be saved and distributed freely. Agricultural biodiversity needs to be cared for or it will diminish, valuable heirloom varieties are being lost. With a changing and chaotic climate, our food system needs as much resilience as we can muster, it is up to farmers and gardeners to maintain a diversity of locally adapted varieties, no one else will do it. Seed saving is easy, our ancestors have been doing it intuitively for thousands of years. Each time seed is saved in it adapts more to the place it was grown, and thus regionally adapted varieties are developed and maintained. The LCLT Seed Library has taken on the task of organizing and maintaining a locally grown seed supply. This supply is available to the Lopez growers with a commitment to save seed from their gardens to replenish and build upon our local seed supply. The LCLT Seed Library is located at LCLT Common Ground, open Monday through Friday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. (check in at LCLT Office). A seed Librarian will be available for assistance, orientation, and questions Fridays 2-4 p.m. For more information email us at seedlclt@rockisland.com.

Left: Noise from Navy ‘Growlers,’ like the pictured at right, are the focus of rising opposition on Whidbey Island and in the San Juans.
JET CONTINUED FROM 1
March 13 with a message similar to the one delivered on Lopez, but with some news. Monson reported that he has information that EA-18 training had been temporarily moved Naval Air Station Fallon, in Nev. Monson said his organizations and its allies, including the Concerned Island Citizens and the Whidbey Noise Coalition, are not seeking to close NAS Whidbey, but do want the EA-18s relocated. Monson, Abraham and COER founder Ken Pickard, along with Maryon Attwood and Kate Andrews, met with almost 50 islanders again on Saturday, March 15, at the Grange in Friday Harbor with the same message, expressed by
Pickard: scientific measurements of sound levels in excess of EPA health standards and common sense says Whidbey Island and Puget Sound is no place for Growlers or any low-level aircraft training operations. “We just can’t live normal lives with this noise,” said Pickard. Monson said he believes the planes were training in Nevada to avoid using NAS Whidbey and OLF Coupeville, but Mike Welding, a spokesman for NAS Whidbey, said “the Growler and Prowler squadrons go to NAS Fallon to conduct Large Force Exercises with the other squadrons in the air wing …. This is a normal part of their training cycle. They do not conduct Field Carrier Landing Practice (the type of touch-and-go training conducted at OLF) at NAS Fallon.”
Asked about the Navy’s current Environmental Impact Statement study concerning EA-18 operations in the area, Welding also stated, “There were some scoping questions related to noise in the San Juan Islands, and those scoping comments will be addressed in the EIS. It is important to remember that Navy aircraft have been operating in the area since 1940’s… Existing Prowler and Growler operations are consistent with previous environmental studies.” These noise impacts in those studies are depicted in the noise contours published at www.cnic.navy. mil. Pickard of COER says flatly that the number and frequency of Growler operations are not “consistent with previous environmental studies.”

“Contrary to the assumption in the 2005 EA [the Environmental Assessment performed before Growlers arrived at NAS Whidbey] that the number of flight operations would decrease, the number has actually significantly increased,” according to the COER paper, “Facts Regarding OLF Noise.” The current draft environmental impact statement by the Navy will be released for public comment in 2015; the final document will be finished in 2016. Welding also wrote, “While individuals may hear and see Navy aircraft, the existing analysis demonstrates that the noise impacts are located primarily in the immediate vicinity of Ault Field and OLF Coupeville, and the San Juan Islands are not currently located within the AICUZ noise contours. This EIS will study proposed changes to Growler operations, including possible changes to our existing,
includes many Whidbey Island local governments and businesses, due in part to the local economic impact on Whidbey Island, which Welding put at $1.085 billion. According to Welding, a 2004 Washington State study reported this represents “more than 85 percent of all economic activity and 68 percent of all jobs on Whidbey Island…”

After 40 or 70 years, depending on who you talk to, high school baseball is back. “I am more than excited... it’s like reading about yourself in a history book,” said high school baseball coach Jeremiah Johnson. “This team is ‘both feet in’ the game, they are kids that have been playing baseball together since they were six years old.” Johnson said based on local lore the last time there was a high school baseball team may have been in 1977. According to research
by Lopez Island Historical Society and Museum Director Mark ThompsonKlein the last baseball team may have existed later around the 60s. “It’s possible whatever teams were around were recreational – bunch of locals getting together – rather than a school team,” Thompson-Klein said. What is known is that Duane and Eldon Weeks played in the 30s and 40s mostly at Odlin Park. They listed eight ball fields where their father and uncle played prior to 1930: Odlin Park, on the Spit, a field in the Village where the parsonage is now, top of

Richardson (Paradise), near the Mud Bay schoolhouse, Flat Point, on the Clapp Ranch (where Dwight’s airstrip is now), and at Port Stanley. According to Historical Society records, Duane listed around 30 guys who played during the 1920s through the early50s. He said they usually played teams from Friday Harbor or Orcas (East Sound, Deer Harbor and Olga), with some games at Whidbey, La Conner, and Oak Harbor. Going back to around 1910, the Richardson Tigers played their home games on a field at the top of Richardson Hill. “Most young men on the island played baseball in those days at one of the seven ball fields on the island,” said Thompson-Klein. Now high schoolers are carrying on the tradition of swinging a bat. They are also helping to carry on a tradition that Duane and Eldon Weeks started of playing baseball with siblings.

the team, two Goodrichs, two Dyes and two Swansons on this year’s team. “It’s a family team you might say,” said Johnson. He also describes the team as having fun. “There are moments of intense competitiveness and training, with a mixture of spontaneous laughter. They are eager to get some wins,” he said, “And are hopeful to go to the state championships.” Stand outs so far this season include sophomore Vinny Kramer throwing about 70 miles per hour. “For a sophomore thats incredible,” said Johnson. “Mike Hobi is putting ‘em right in there, Thomas Hobi is spot on every time and Bree Swanson, junior (our lady Lobos pitcher) has a natural curve ball pitch I can only associate with her previous softball experience.”

Golf coach Richard Têtu said predicting the season each year is almost impossible.

Johnson’s goal for the players is to work together as a team, learn about the sport and make some good memories. “Oh, and few wins would be great also,” he aded The Lopez High School baseball team has been recently been approved by the school board for two years as long as they are completely funded by community support. “After two years, they will review the program and begin to support us if we can make it that long,” said Johnson. “From baseballs to bats, from jerseys to hats.... everything is being funded by our local community and

by following the rules or being kind to other players. Going to state is just an added bonus. Last year on the second day at the B/BB State Tournament, the combined scores of Lopez players Marné Cook and Sarah Reeve earned them a tie for ninth place and allowed them to secure third place overall as a team.

His team this year is half the size with just 12 players – one of the leanest teams he has had in the last ten years. Some of the players will be playing for the first time, brushing up on rusty skills while other players will be shooting for state. “They can take it as far as they want,” said Têtu. His other hopes for the year also include more audience participation at home
tournaments. “Everyone is welcome,” he said. Têtu said the Lopez team is grateful for the support from the Lopez Golf Course, which has gone above and beyond to help the golf players through clinics and affordable memberships. “The kids know they are loved and cared for here,” said Têtu.

“We are the Ones” is being presented by Lopez Community Land Trust at the community center on Saturday, March 29. For several years, LCLT has convened a community gathering that stimulates ideas for creating a thriving community on Lopez. The Seed Library, the Grain CSA, and Grow a Row have been spawned during these events. According to Rhea Miller, assistant director of LCLT, “Within these challenging economic times, Lopezians need to know more about our mutual resources. In order to do that, we need to tap into our creativity together.” Recently, Rhea Miller and the executive director Sandy Bishop attend-
ed “Building Creative Communities” in Colquitt, Ga., and were privileged to attend that community’s performance by “Swamp Gravy.” According to Karen Johnson of Colquitt, “What makes this community different from other small rural communities in the U.S. is that magic i n g r e d i e n t – c r e a t i v i t y. Creative communities are different from traditional community and economic development models because creative communities rely on human potential, knowledge and capabilities as opposed to tangible goods and deliverable ser vices.” This rural community of 2200 people was dying, but turned itself around by

engaging its creativity. They founded a community development corporation, renovated a historic inn, turned grain bins into affordable apartments, invented the Mayhaw (local berry) festival, told their own people’s stories on stage through the Swamp Gravy Institute, and portrayed their community’s stories in murals. This year’s workshop is inspired in part by the community of Colquitt and will include multi-media events that engage participants to envision a more thriving and sustainable community. Organizers for this day draw their inspiration from theoretical physicist Mark Comings who said, “If we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change,” and Harold Thurman who said, “Don’t ask yourself what the world needs – ask yourself what makes

and retaining board members. The co-op model relies on the premise of one vote for each member. Article I, Section 10 of
OPALCO’s bylaws has been revised to give all members the opportunity to vote in the case of a call for board member removal or replace-
ment. The original language would have excluded absentee members. To review details, visit www.opalco. com/bylaws. Randy J. Cornelius, general manager, says the bylaw language was found to be out of compliance with current state law. The issue came up during the regular meeting of the board in February when OPALCO’s legal counsel discovered the flaw. The board determined that, because of the timing of the Annual Meeting, May 3, immediate further discussion was warranted on this bylaw issue. The Board met by phone on March 6, 2014, in keeping with their bylaws on special meetings, to discuss and act on the matter.
WSF chief calls it quits; Moseley hands in resignation By Scott Rasmussen

Journal editor
After six years of plotting the course for the state ferry system, David Moseley is handing over the helm. Moseley announced his resignation March 18. His final day on the job is April 15. In a statement about his pending departure, Moseley, who inherited an agency awash in financial struggles and facing uncertainty of how to maintain or replace a fleet of aging boats, said that the state ferry system is positioned better than it was when his tenure began in 2008. “I’m pleased with the progress we’ve made,” he said. “But it is now time for the next person to build on our successes, correct our mistakes and continue to move the system forward.” A former city manager

in Federal Way, Ellensburg and Steilacoom, and former head of community development in Seattle, Moseley was 60 years old at the time he was selected for the job from a field of 64 applicants. He replaced Mike Anderson, a longtime ferry system administrator, who stepped down after three years as chief of Washington State Ferries. At the start of his tenure, Moseley set out four
priorities that would be top concerns for Ferries: building new boats, better maintenance and preser vation of the fleet to ensure reliability of service, improved communication with ferr y dependent communities and customers, and securing a stable, sustainable source of funding for capital and operating expenses. “I believe we made real, tangible progress on all
Reward offered for info, arrest, conviction in weekend vandalism The Town of Friday Harbor is offering a reward for the arrest and conviction of those responsible for an episode of vandalism on the weekend of March 1. Much of the damage was done by spray paint, according to San Juan County Sheriff’s Department, and the list of targets included Friday Harbor Elementary School, the Head Start building near the elementary school, the Friday Harbor Presbyterian Church preschool building, Kingdom Hall, and the Homes for Islanders project on Grover Street. In addition, 11 tires were slashed on vehicles in the area where the vandalism occurred. “A lot of people have been hurt by these senseless acts,” Sheriff Rob Nou said in a press release. “It is truly unfortunate that several of the targets of the vandalism, particularly the school and Head Start will have to redirect resources away from services to local children in order to repair this damage.” Damage estimates are still being compiled, Nou said. The town has established a reward fund now totaling $2,400, at this time, with contributions from local businesses and individuals. Donations can be made to
the Reward Fund, which will be held in the town’s trust account. If there are no suspects within six months the monies will be returned to those who donated, according to a town press release. Anyone with information about the vandalism is
asked to call the sheriff’s office at 378-4151; the sheriff’s office also has an anonymous tip line, 370-7629. Contact Duncan Wilson, town administrator, with questions about the Reward Fund, 378-2810.
those priorities,” he said. Still, Moseley noted that sustainable funding for the ferry system overall remains elusive even though a dedicated source of funding for Ferries’ construction program was just recently established by the Legislature. The state ferry system lost 22 percent of its annual revenue when voters approved Initiative 695, in 1999, which repealed the state’s former motor vehicle excise tax, and its operating costs have soared sharply since that time as fuel prices have escalated. “While we made real and significant progress in the 2014 session, financial sustainability has been and remains WSF biggest challenge,” he said. environmentally Lynn Peterson, secretary
of Washington Department of Transportation, the parent agency of state Ferries, praised Moseley for helping to spur the construction of new boats, improving and broadening WSF’s communication with the public, and implementing a reservation system. “Under David’s watch, WSF has reached out to its customers with more than 450 meetings in ferry communities, provided weekly ferry activities emails, and implemented new online tools such as ‘Fleet Watch’ and ‘Terminal Conditions’ to
help customers better plan their travel,” Peterson said in a press release. “With a successful implementation of a vehicle reservation system on three routes, WSF will expand the reservation system to the San Juan Island routes. Moseley said that he’s unsure of what he will do next, and that he expects to explore potential opportunities over the next several months. The Department of Transportation will begin a nationwide search to find someone to fill Moseley’s position, Peterson said.

The woman, upstairs with her 2-year-old child at the time, reportedly witnessed the confrontation from the second floor of the home, at the top of the stairs. Moments later, as Stoner reportedly “racked” the weapon, the bandana fell from his face and the man, who then recognized the would-be robber, as did the woman, went to the telephone to call the police. Stoner immediately fled the home but turned himself in at the sheriff’s office in Eastsound the following day. The couple reportedly has known Stoner since he was five years old, according to court documents. Following his arrest, Stoner had initially been charged with first-degree attempted robbery, a Class A felony, first-degree burglary and second-degree assault, to which he pleaded not guilty.

He was ordered to pay $950 in fines and fees; restitution has yet to be determined. As a juvenile, Stoner had twice been convicted in a San Juan County courtroom of residential burglary, which carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both, in 2003 and in 2005. He was also convicted of a felony drug crime in Whatcom County in 2007, and a felony offense in Oregon in 2011. According to prosecutors, Stoner wore a black hooded sweatshirt and a red bandana covering his face, and was armed with a rifle, an AK-47, when he kicked in the front door of the couple’s Geiser Way home, pointed the weapon at the man’s chest and

He then pleaded guilty to the two lesser offenses several weeks before the case was slated to go to trial. Given his criminal history, Stoner faced a standard range of sentencing set by the state for residential burglary of 22-29 months in prison. A Class C felony, seconddegree attempted assault carries maximum penalties of 5 years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both; however, the standard range of sentencing is 11-15 months.
Century Link works on reliability The following was submitted by CenturyLink
CenturyLink, Inc. as part of its ongoing commitment to its customers in San Juan County, is actively working to provide network redundancy. This redundancy will allow voice, Internet, E911 and other critical services to be rerouted onto other facilities to maintain service in the event of a fiber cut within the islands. During the week of Feb. 17, CenturyLink began phase one of providing redundancy from Friday Harbor to East Sound and Lopez Island. CenturyLink is increasing the capacity on the existing fiber optic network between Mount Constitution and East Sound to support the new microwave radio system that will be installed from Friday Harbor to Mount Constitution. “CenturyLink is focused on our customers’ safety and service reliability in San Juan County,” said Tim Grigar, CenturyLink vice president and general manager for western Washington. “We understand how important it is for our customers to have a reliable redundant path in the event of damage to the primary network. We will continue to communicate our progress as the work continues.”

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. To make a firewood complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx
