Lopez School Seeks Bond Approval in November Submitted by Lopez School
Lopez School District facilities are falling apart, and district officials are worried about keeping up with safety, health, and educational standards. This was the key message 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 superintendent’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’ recommendation reflected a concerted effort by the district to respond

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!

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 original 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 committee 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 suppression 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 engineering team, and taking advantage of Superintendent Evans’ leadership experience in school construction projects, 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 publications. For more info contact Superintendent Evans at bevans@lopez.k12.wa.us, or 360-468-2202.
Human remains found in Moran State Park A fisherman found decomposed human remains with a wallet in a collapsed tent located offtrail 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 decomposed 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, family members of the person identified in the driver’s

Prevention Coalition
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 complete forensic examination 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 graduation 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 3784101.

Every time that sound vibrates through my whole body and shakes the ground under me, I want to stand up and shout, “Thank you!!

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.

Ignoring aging Plans afoot for stormwater solutions won’t make it go away Guest Column By Ed Hale
SJC Utilities manager
by Liz Taylor
If 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 phenomenon of our own aging. Put another way: just about everybody thinks everyone 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 dramatically. 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 independently 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. Liz Taylor has worked in the aging field for almost 40 years. You can reach her at lizt@agingdeliberately.com.
With fall approaching we once again look toward the rainy season. Last year the season started with a shockingly large storm event that overwhelmed our Eastsound storm sewer system. With that memory almost one year behind us, the Stormwater Utility is moving 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, current land use and potential development. Based on that information, Volume 1 makes some broad suggestion for how we can manage stormwater. These range from developing more detailed plans in focus basins, including Eastsound and Lopez Village, to utilizing the treatment capacity available in existing ecological systems, such as wetlands, ponds and ditches. More specifics regarding these and other recommendations are presented in the recommendations section of Volume 1. What does that mean for you and the planning process? 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-

Upcoming SJ Wolf Hollow announces County vacancies crowd funding partnership Contributed photo / Wolf Hollow
One of the river otters at Wolf Hollow.
Submitted by Wolf Hollow
For most animal related 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 pioneering new crowdfunding website that helps animal welfare and wildlife conservation nonprofits connect with donors to raise
money for critically needed projects. “Animal welfare and wildlife conservation non-profits 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 budgets, 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 ver y excited to be involved again with LoveAnimals.org” said Julie Duke, executive director. “There are so many projects that we need funding for and in the past it has been difficult to reach a wider audience 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 rehabilitate 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/otterrehabilitation.html.

Notice to Contractors Washington State Law (RCW 18.27.100) requires that all advertisements for construction related services include the contractor’s current department of Labor and Industries registration number in the advertisement. Failure to obtain a certificate of registration from L&I or show the registration number in all advertising will result in a fine up to $5000 against the unregistered contractor. For more information, call Labor and Industries Specialty Compliance Services Division at 1-800-647-0982 or check L&Is internet site at www.lni.wa.gov
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.
