School Bond
Voters have approved Lopez Island School District #144 Proposition No. 1 concerning a $9.6 million capital projects bond with 65.09 percent of the vote. Only 36.91 percent opposed the bond. 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. According to school officials, Lopez School District facilities are falling apart, and district officials have been worried about keeping up with safety, health, and educational standards. The bond represents significant revisions from the $16.5 million renovation project proposed in 2013, which did not meet with voter approval. This new bond is approximately 40 percent less than the original request, but officials say it 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

Jamie Stephens district is able to present a responsive revised request to the voters.
Solid Waste Levy
Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District Proposition No. 1, Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District Operations and Capital Property Tax concerning an excess levy won landslide support with 76.26 percent of the vote. According to Rhea Miller of Citizens for Lopez Solid Waste Levy, the 2015 levy will be assessed at a rate of 10.7 cents per $1,000 of taxable assessed value, down from 11.155 cents in 2014. The lower rate, with slightly increased property values, will generate the same $115,000 levy for 2015 as for 2014: a $54 bill for a property value at $500,000.

Elections are often about change. San Juan County voters demonstrated an eagerness for it, in the administration of their Sheriff’s Office. In a first-ever bid for public office, deputy Ron Krebs grabbed a sizable lead in a hotly contested 2014 sher-
iff’s race. Krebs, an eightyear veteran of the force and former deputy guild president, collected 4,736 votes of 7,393 ballots tallied, earning 64.06 percent of the vote. For first-term incumbent Rob Nou, the election results signal a decided turnaround from the same race four years ago. He drew 66 percent of the vote

in 2010 to become the county’s first new sheriff in more than two decades on the heels of that landslide victory at the ballot box. Four years later, Krebs made leadership and communication, or the lack of it, the centerpiece of his campaign. He vowed to mend and to restore lines of communication within the department and with other agencies that regularly deal with the sheriff’s office. He pledged to create a stronger bond between the department and the public it serves, as well. The department’s rankand-file rallied around Krebs’ run for office, with the guild backing his campaign in an unprecedented and near unanimous endorsement of his election SEE KREBS, PAGE 4

– not 13 – but up to 36 more EA18G Growler jets. All would be based on Whidbey Island. This change meant that the EIS Scoping process would reopen and we, the public, would have an opportunity to comment on the addition of more Growlers. For those of us living with the noise, this is a daunting proposal. It carries with it the real possibility that more jets will need more airspace (probably to the north), more training time resulting in more noise and over flights. The Scoping Process is now re-opened. The deadline for comments is Nov. 24. The Quiet Skies
group has been working on a strategy to help us all make effective comments. Over the next few weeks we will create a series of “suggested comments” which may be copied, edited or rewritten in your words and submitted.

Lopez School successful in bond request in election Submitted by Lopez Island School District
Lopez Island School officials and board directors have expressed appreciation to the Lopez and Decatur communities for their vote of support and approval of the Lopez School capital projects bond. With the approximately 65 percent approval, the district will now begin the work of addressing the much-needed repairs, renovations and updating of its aging facilities. School officials have made a commitment to the community, and to the students and staff, to not only bring the facilities up to safety, health and code standards, but to also bring the facilities up to current educational standards – creating facilities that support and inspire students to excel. The district will begin planning immediately for the next steps, including developing a design process that engages a project advisory team that will include community, staff and students. They have also begun the process of developing an overall timeline for the project. “We are committed to spending wisely,
these precious resources entrusted to us, and we will not forget those voices that have expressed concerns about how we will accomplish this project,” declared Superintendent Bill Evans. “We will continue to do our best to address those concerns and, with the help of project professionals, work prudently to manage this significant and complex program.” District officials will also work to keep the community advised and involved throughout the project, including a special board meeting that was held on Monday, Nov. 10, at which the board and school team began this multiyear effort. “Your support of our students, families, is an inspiration,” said School Board Chairman John Helding. “The positive energy in the school hallways and classrooms is palpable, and much gratitude is being expressed for this vote of support and belief in our Lopez Schools. Thank you for your involvement in this issue, for making this major contribution, and for all you do in helping our community, our village, to raise exceptional young people.”
Lopez Village Plan: Our chance for local control Submitted by Dennis Ryan
Member of the Lopez Village Planning and Review Committee
Lopez is making its very own Village Plan for shaping development in the years ahead. This is our chance for local governance over something near and dear – the Village. Achieving the new local plan requires local input. Community members including property and business owners are invited to contribute through public workshops, correspondence and in discussions with friends and neighbors. Ultimately the council will adopt the recommendations as a sub-area plan, making it legally binding. Host a discussion session! Make this an agenda item in your organization! The council-appointed, volunteer Lopez Village Planning and Review Committee is drafting the plan with assistance from Linda Kuller, of the SJC Department of Community Development and Planning. The planning boundaries are the Lopez Village Urban Growth Area designated some years ago as part of the State’s Growth Management Act. On Oct. 7 we conducted the first public workshop to share work to date. Well over 75 Lopezians attended, weighing in on a range of topics. As one participant put it, “It’s hard to just jump into text on this planning stuff. I need pictures, maps and stories. What’s good for the future, what’s possible and what should the Lopez Village steer clear of
– these are big, challenging questions!” Eight attendees gave a spirited reading of a draft vision for Lopez Village. Later, editorial comments included: “Add Hummel Lake as a destination for the envisioned walkable, bicyclefriendly and well-connected community.” “Add Weeks Wetland Preserve to the statement about protecting Fisherman Bay.” “Pay attention to climate resiliency and sustainability in our capital facilities.” Everyone had something to contribute in lively discussion exchanges. Folks made brief notes on the boards and comments came afterwards. A sample: “Planning for the Village should recognize the demographic shifts in America and the tilt toward an aging population.” “Get a truly walkable Village – one that supports and encour-
ages pedestrians, with bicycle and automobile territories clearly worked out and managed.” “Preserve our views of the water and surroundings from the Village.” “Mature trees and landscaping are essential.” “Aim for a stronger sense of a village center. A public square?” Taking care of the aquifer, minimizing pesticides and exposure to microwave radiation and designing a “stunning water system in the Village” for storm water management were also called for. We reviewed all comments and will continue to do so. Send comments to LindaK@ sanjuanco.com or call 3707572 or visit www.sanjuanco. com/cdp/LopezVillage/ lv_default.aspx. Issues ahead: how to strengthen the Village as a cherished place for living, working, shopping and enjoyment. There are many
qualities within the present collection of buildings and spaces to emulate, including the variety of generally small–scaled forms, pitched roofs, a number of porches, decks and terraces conducive to social gathering, and a special, sometimes dramatic connection with the surrounding landscape and water. The Village today is a composition of clusters of activities – slightly different places within a larger whole. The committee’s assessment of the unique qualities of each place as well as the overall functioning of the Village will determine guidelines for future development. Everyone cares about

The uses and activities that constitute the Village, along with its visual qualities and how well it works to achieve public and private objectives, are all paramount. It is also an eclectic yet recognizable, iconic and dynamic place – it should accommodate the busy summer season and yet be equally inviting and representative of the best of Lopez throughout the year.
Having a homegrown Village plan, attending to local objectives with local say-so, is exciting to imagine. This will be a first, important step.

He put his degree and experience with small remodels for friends to use by helping his family convert a three car garage into an attractive waterfront getaway. Here, he vacationed with his family for many years before calling Lopez home. The island lifestyle and the spirit of helping others remained with Tom as he developed his design career.

“The Tempest” runs from Nov. 19 –22 at Lopez Center By Rosie Sumner and Matteus Rabel

Cast members of “The Tempest.”
Special to the Weekly
“Boatswain! Here Master, what cheer? Good – speak to th’ mariners. Fall to it yarely, or we run ourselves aground, bestir, bestir!” So begins another adventure in community theatre on Lopez. These lines are shouted by actors in order to be heard above the “Tempest.” The master of the ship is played by a 13-year-old, the “bo’sun” is an adult actor. Richard Carter has directed young students in finding their acting chops and the meaning and fun in Shakespeare for many years. In 2002, he and Susan Wilson started the nonprofit Community Shakespeare Company. Their performances featured student actors until in 2007 a handful of adult actors were invited to participate in Romeo and Juliet. My name is Rosie Sumner, and I was one of those lucky adults. I have been onstage with the company nearly every year since, having the time of my life. Why would hours of rehearsal, line learning, tech angst and stage fright be so appealing?
And why is performing with kids especially so wonderful? Children, teens, and adults doing Shakespeare together experience a lot of hard work. At the beginning, there is confusion, mispronunciation, and giggling, giving way to surrender and commitment. When opening night rolls around, actors of all ages understand the plot and the language and how to support each other onstage. Each play calls for a unified effort, and we actors, tall and small, young and old, rise to the occasion and lift our audiences up with us. As an adult actor, working with kids onstage is inspiring, delightful, humbling, bonding and a labor of love. My name is Matteus Rabel, I am 10-years-old, and The Tempest is my fourth Community Shakespeare play. The first time I acted in Shakespeare was Richard’s adaptation of “Twelfth Night.” I arrived at tryouts thinking that if you did not speak or act well enough, you would not get a role. What I learned is that in Richard’s thoughtful plans, there is a place for everyone, and when any of us fall behind, he strongly but gently guides us toward improvement. Truthfully, I believe that at some point, every actor, even adults, needs help from Richard. The younger or newer kids often
need to speak louder and slower. Richard focuses me on nailing my blocking and understanding my character. Most of us need direction with expressing our characters’ feelings. The mix of children and adults is unique but quite compatible with theatre. For example, when Rosie and I are in scenes together, we form a routine of how we work together.
Connecting with Rosie offers me a different point of view and I form a friend from a different age range. In my opinion, working with adults in theatre is simply the best combination I could wish for. “The Tempest” runs from Nov. 19 through 22 at the Community Center, and is our chance to share our hard work, courage and friendships with you all.

Zoo Tunes at Lopez Library If you were in the library Aug. 5 of this summer you experienced the Musical Petting Zoo for Kids sponsored by the Lopez Island Family Resource Center and the Lopez Library. The library resonated with the melodies and energy of a music school. Sounds of strings, brass and flutes (introduced by our local musicians) mingled with laughter and learning as kids of all ages discovered the magic of musical instruments. As follow up to that terrific event, the Lopez Library presents “Zoo Tunes!” with musician Lance Brittain.
L OPEZ ISLAND
This time the event will feature guitar, dobro, banjo, mandolin, ukulele and rhythm instruments and will again offer kids the opportunity to experience musical instruments “hands-on.” There will be demonstrations as well as instructional videos and kids will have a chance to listen to music and draw what they hear. Bring your child and enjoy the warmth and expressions of budding musicians. Saturday, Nov.15 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. in the Lopez Library Community Room. Instruments and art supplies will be provided.

Share the warmth October usually encourages us to pull our sweaters, scarves and boots out of the back of the closet to meet the chill in the air. How many of you noticed that this year was different? There was a new warmth in the air all over the islands with the most heat radiating from Friday Harbor Espresso. That’s because owner Mark Brokman agreed to take the challenge to “Share the Warmth to Help Stop the Violence”. During the month of October, Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services of the San Juan Islands (DVSAS) challenged all of us to donate a quarter every time we enjoyed a warm drink. Everywhere, at home, work and play, the noisy sound of coins and the soft flutter of dollar bills could be heard dropping into cups, jars or baggies to save and send to DVSAS to help stop the violence and “Share the Warmth”. With an average of two cups a day for each of us you can see how quickly the heat could rise and the violence could lessen. As

The dragon Last night as I was walking in the rain The dragon came shrieking from the sky “Death, Death.” He roared. I could feel his rage rumble in my stomach. I just smiled and kept on walking. “Hello, dragon.” I softly said. The irate dragon grumbled, Retreating hastily into the clouds. My wife, Chris, who attended the Rick Larsen

just one coffee shop caring enough to “Share the Warmth,” Friday Harbor Espresso raised more than $800. If you missed out on this warming experience don’t despair. You can just estimate your average number of warm drinks a day times 25 cents and times that by 30 days and send your check to DVSAS at PO Box 3175, Friday Harbor, WA 98250. Plan now to make each October the warmest month of the year by encouraging your favorite coffee shop and friends to care enough to join in on this warming experience too.

meeting found out an interesting fact. The engine for the Growler is manufactured by General Electric. GE also manufactures the engine for the commercial aircraft 747, which is (get this) cheaper, quieter and more powerful. Now why would the Navy choose to spend more money to obtain a lousier engine simply because it was louder? The answer is: because the noise is an intended element of the weapon. It is designed to disorient and terrify the enemy, an effect it also has on me, my wife and my ducks. It is the roar of the dragon. It is the full might and fury of the U.S. military; a sound familiar to Iraqis, Afghans, Panamanians, Vietnamese … need I go on? Now let us consider this. If the Navy wanted to practice dropping atom bombs, would it be acceptable for them to practice by dropping one on Lopez Island? The sad truth, my friends, is that our government is now waging war on us, or at least practicing on us. This is immediately apparent when you see the photographs of lethally armed storm troopers oppressing the black protesters of Ferguson, Missouri. You know what? The Mt. Vernon Police Department also has a new toy: an armored personnel carrier. They are handing them out like candy. Policemen love them. The facts are not unrelated. This is called the ever-increasing militarization of our government. It is also not unconnected to the fact that the U.S./Mexican border now resembles the Berlin wall. They shoot and kill people on that border, just like the STASI did during the Iron Curtain days. I know because I am an old man, and I lived behind the Iron Curtain for two years. We the small people of Lopez must be the mice that roar back, “We want a humane government that respects peace and human rights! And we want it now!” STEPHEN CARTER Lopez Island

Things remained tied until five minutes into the third quarter when Lummi took the lead 36-28. After that, the Blackhawks scored four times on long runs and passes. At the end of three quarters, the score was Lummi 60, Lopez 28. The Lobos’ defense stiffened in the final quarter, despite the lopsided score, and the game ended 66-28. Lopez turned in outstanding defensive as well
as offensive play. Vinny Kramer recovered a fumble, and Rande Gruenwald and Kevin Dye inter-
cepted Blackhawk passes. Gruenwald finished the day 9 for 17 passing and Vinny Kramer completed one

Things started well for the Lopez eight-man football team. Very well. On the first play from scrimmage, Rande Gruenwald connected to Vinnie Kramer for a touchdown with less than a minute off the clock. The Blackhawks scored four minutes later but failed on the point-after try, and the first quarter ended with Lopez up 8-6. The second quarter was a wild affair; the scored tied or the lead changing hands repeatedly. Lopez scored on a run by Rande Gruenwald and passes from Gruenwald to Tony Ahonen and Vinny Kramer, the last one coming with only 30 seconds left on the clock. Lummi answered

The Lobos soccer team improved steadily through the 2014 season, finishing with a 2 and 14 record but playing well against teams that in the past have scored easily against them. Lopez won their Oct. 24 match against Cedar Park by a score of 4-3. Lobos scorers included Cosmos Cordova and Fabio Setti. Lopez hosted cross-channel, non-conference rival Friday Harbor on Oct. 27 and lost 5-1. The Lobos held the usually dominant Wolverines to only two goals in the first half, and the score remained 2-0 for another 20 minutes before the Friday Harbor forwards added three quick goals. Lopez forward Cosmos Cordova put in the Lobos’ only score late in the second half. Lopez then played their last game on Oct. 29 against LaConner and came up short in a 3-1 loss. Ironically, two of the scores against Lopez were of the painful “own-goal” type, as balls deflected by goalie Gavin Goodrich bounced off his own players and into the Lobos net. Coach Shawn Westervelt said afterward, “In reality, we outscored them 3 to 1.” Cosmos Cordova accounted for the only ball that went into the LaConner net.

Cosmos Cordova takes a free kick after being fouled by Friday Harbor in the Lobos’ 5-1 loss to the Wolverines. Cordova scored the sole Lopez goal against Friday Harbor and has led Lobos scorers this season.
With decisive wins against Highland Christian and Skykomish Oct. 27 and 28, the Lobos have emerged as District 1 NW1b League Champions. The Highland Christian contest was emotional for the graduating seniors who were playing their last game at home.
