State funds Lopez, Orcas public works projects By Meredith M. Griffith Sounder contributor

Lopez will receive more than a quarter of a million dollars for projects as part of budget packages recently passed by the Washington state legislature. “I think we did pretty well for this session,” said San Juan County Council member Jamie Stephens. “I worked hard, Rick [Hughes] worked hard, and Bob [Jarman], to get some of these things done,

and our legislators really worked well with us to get this much. We’ve had years where we get absolutely nothing.” Funding includes $1.4 million for the Orcas Island library; $760,000 for the Orcas Village Park and Ride at the ferry landing, $350,000 for a feasibility study to determine the best way to repair or reroute Lopez Island’s failing MacKaye Harbor Road; $243,000 from the Department of Ecology to install rain gardens and curb-gutter sidewalks along Prune Alley and $115,000 from the Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) to replace the dock at Odlin Park on Lopez. On Lopez, the MacKaye Harbor Rd. is built on a sand bluff and having significant erosion problems. “The current road is falling into the water,” said Stephens. He said the best strategy may be to reroute

the road to avoid the alternative, which is “major armoring,” a strategy that can be problematic on an environmental level. He expects the project to provide better parking and access from the county park down to the beach. The allocated $350,000 will not include any construction, just preliminary feasibility work to determine the best route and to calculate costs. Not specific to San Juan County but also included in the state’s transportation package is $300 million in new operating funds to guarantee ferry service levels for over six years, and an additional $40 million to build a fourth 144-car Olympic class ferry.

This is good news for the San Juan Islands regardless of where the ferry ends up serving, since a more functional fleet should result in fewer service interruptions due to local boats being “borrowed” to serve other routes. “We also got a bill passed for Island and San Juan counties that will allow us to use the road budget to put mooring buoys and other facilities at our road ends,” said Stephens. He said there are quite a few road ends in the county that could offer public access to the shoreline. Most road ends are about 40 to 60 feet wide, and county public works would create signage to let the public know exactly where

those access points are. County Engineer Rachel Dietzman said the plan for the Orcas Park and Ride is to use the five-acre parcel belonging to Washington State Ferries above the newly installed ferry tollbooth. San Juan County would lease this parcel from WSF and develop it to include 72-hour and possibly two-week parking, but probably not longer-term parking. Dietzman said that while public works has ideas for the project, the county expects to initiate an “extensive public process” before creating an actual plan. “The goal of the park and ride is to get cars off of Orcas Road,” she added. “I

think it’s going to be a huge benefit for Orcas Islanders; it’s going to improve safety on Orcas Road.” The lot will serve daily commuters and short vacation visits. While parking is clearly needed at the landing, Dietzman said that road funds cannot be used to create “parking” but can be used to create a park and ride viewed as a traffic reduction project. Charging stations for electric vehicles will be included, and parking is expected to be at no charge. Construction may begin in 2016 or 2017. For San Juan Island, the council had requested funding to construct a connector between Pear Point Road and Turn Point Road, but the request was denied.

Magic show comes to Lopez Center by Colleen Smith Armstrong Publisher

Orcas Island magician Matthew Laslo is flying high after launching his first two shows of his summer tour of the San Juans. It was standing room only for two nights at the 250-seat Sea View Theatre on Orcas with audiences lining up to see his amazing feats. “I’m overwhelmed by the response to this show,” Laslo said. “It’s my dream come true. I’m doing what I love, and I just hope the audience will too.” He will perform at Lopez Center on Aug. 1 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for youth (12 and under) at Lopez Bookshop or by calling Brown Paper Tickets at 1-800-838-3006

or online at www.brownpapertickets. com. Tickets are also at the door. It’s fun for the entire family. Laslo is an award-winning magician and illusionist who fell in love with the art of magic at seven years of age. Now seven years later at 14 years old, he’s created this full-length illusion show that includes different styles of magic from card miracles to grand illusions. His assistants are Maria Bullock and Virginia Sides, who will amaze and mesmerize you with their aerial acrobatics on silks and hoop. “Blending these two art forms (magic and aerials) are a natural,” says Bullock, who is a choreographer and instructor at her Aerial Acrobatic Studio on Orcas. Laslo is best known in the islands as

“Matthew the Magician.” He started performing at the San Juan County Fair at 10 years old. In 2012 he was a medal winner at the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians’ convention for stage competition in Seattle. The same year he was awarded highest honors in an all-ages magic competition in Oregon, taking home the coveted award for outstanding creativity and showmanship. A recent reviewer wrote: “Laslo was a sensation on stage. Every moment of his act was pure entertainment.” Laslo and the girls have been working hard to get the show up to this level and on the road. He is especially excited to be able to share this show with his friends and fans on Lopez Island.

Proposal the links are blank. It seems strange that notice was given, if indeed notice there was, in this paper instead of the Island’s Weekly, distributed to every Lopez home. It is vital that those potentially effected have access to the legal notices and any documents about this proposal. I would like to know

The Lopez Island Conservation Corps summer 2015 program is off and running! The LICC is a non-profit organization that provides opportunities for youth to participate in environmental conservation activities in San Juan County. Crew members help conserve island landscapes and gain valuable skills through challenging projects and rewarding educational opportunities. This year’s program is four days a week (Monday – Thursday) and runs six weeks in total, from the 22nd of June through the end of July. Projects include trail construction and maintenance, noxious weed removal, beach clean-ups and species monitoring. The crew is composed of six youth from Lopez and beyond, with all members ranging between the ages of 13 and 16. This summer’s crew leader, Emmett Lawrence, an environmental science major at the University of Washington, grew up on Lopez Island and is back for the summer to work with the LICC. “A major goal of

(Not pictured: Marvin Snapp and Tyler Sovelove). this summer’s program is to connect the crew with local knowledge and with the stories of this region,” said Lawrence. As a part of the educational program, the LICC is calling on interested community members with knowledge, passion, and stories that pertain to environmental stewardship to come out and share with the crew. Additionally, community members interested in spending a day out in the field working with the crew are encouraged to come and volunteer.

is “an investor-owned business” - i.e. out for profit, not public good. Unfor tunately the County Council has already approved putting this proposal on the county-wide ballot. With that imprimatur, it seems likely the project will slide through other county approval processes while those affected know little about it. I have officially requested of Jamie Stephens a public meeting and hearing be held here on Lopez with an informational piece in the Weekly prior and notices sent to every household in the MacKaye Harbor area before any further action is taken on their proposal. BARBARA KELLER Lopez Island

Thank you, United Way The Lopez Island Conservation Corps summer crew of seven youth and one crew leader is hard at work completing handson conservation projects on public lands. Through the six week program, youth earn a stipend, gain new skills and explore the out-

doors. To maintain our program, funding comes from multiple sources, including local support from United Way of San Juan County. This much needed funding directly supports the crew and program costs. LICC thanks United Way for its continued support of our youth program, and to all community members that contribute to their annual fund. AMANDA WEDOW LICC Director

Response to fire chief column Before retiring, I was an open heart surgical assistant and research assistant in a prominent heart research center, so I have the background to say the following: The death Mr. Ghiglione cites in his recent article, while tragic, was not necessarily due to a fiveminute lapse in treatment. Some heart attacks result in instant death where nothing could have changed the outcome. The other incident had cell reception and did not occur 200 yards farther

down the road where that was a potential issue. One death that may not have preventable and one hypothetical problem over the years is a record we should all be proud of. Our E.R. services have been done a tremendous job, sometimes in less than ideal conditions. However, I do agree all should be done to close the five-minute lapse. That being said, the 15-year-old plan we are implementing may be outdated. According to a recent Bloomberg news story, Elon Musk and Google have done the financing, permits and regulation compliance to install 630 small satellites circling the Earth giving world high-speed internet and cell phones. This

large, global effort is better equipped to absorb the cost and provide service to remote areas like Lopez. Unfortunately, OPALCO is committed to these potentially outdates upgrades, despite the potential cell tower health hazards and contentiousness. Let’s not confuse E.R. cell tower capabilities with high speed optic internet services and poor handling of the latter by OPALCO. “No one else would do it” is not good enough. There were other options. There always are. My biggest concerns are outrageous electric charges and the eventual collapse of OPALCO because of poor financial decisions. JOYCE RENFROW Lopez Island

Geology of the Lopez beaches Beachwatchers,

Friends of the Lopez Library and the San Juan Islands National Monument invite you to join them Wednesday, July 22, 7 p.m. in

Woodmen Hall for another wonderful look at the geology that shapes our world presented by Professor Emeritus of geology Donn

Charnley. Lopez Island has some of the most interesting shoreline features in the San Juan Islands, and walking our beaches or viewing the rocky shoreline from a boat are favorite past-times of many. In this program, Professor Charnley examines the geological processes that produced our beautiful beaches and provides guidance for your own discovery of these unique geologic features. Your beachcombing will never be the same! Charnley has taught geology for 50 years and also served in the Washington state legislature from 1970-1984. He is a popular speaker on Lopez and has presented two programs on geology in the past year,

both well attended. Lopez residents appreciate the natural wonders of our region and geology is a favorite interest. FLIP and SJINM look forward to another terrific evening of science and exploration. This program is part of the SOL (Science on Lopez) series at the library this summer. Coming up on Aug. 13 Dr. Ian Lange presents a program on the beautiful and active volcano Mt. Baker, and on Aug. 19 popular meteorlogist and commentator Dr. Cliff Mass speaks on the future of weather prediction. All SOL programs are co-sponsored between the Friends of the Lopez Island Library and the San Juan Islands National Monument.

The Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team will deliver free training sessions in Lopez and San Juan Islands on July 25 and on Orcas and Shaw Islands on July 26. COASST volunteers help make a difference for the environment by collecting data on beach-cast carcasses of marine birds on a monthly basis to establish the baseline pattern of beached bird mortality on North Pacific beaches. Data collected helps address important marine conservation issues and protect marine resources. Through an interactive, hands-on workshop, trainees will become acquainted with the custom COASST field guide, “Beached Birds,” and have a chance to try out their newly acquired identification skills on seabird species common to the North Pacific. The COASST training provides volunteers with the tools to monitor for potential changes in the marine environment and promote stewardship of local marine resources. COASST is a citizen science project of the University of Washington in partnership with state, tribal and federal agencies, environmental organizations and community groups. COASST believes citizens of coastal communities are essential scientific partners in monitoring marine ecosystem health. By collaborating with citizens, natural resource management agencies and environmental organizations, COASST works to translate long-term monitoring into effective marine conservation solutions. Currently more than 800 volunteers survey beaches in Washington, Oregon, California and Alaska. On Saturday, July 25, trainings will take place at the Lopez Island library (2225 Fisherman Bay Road, Lopez) and at the San Juan Island library (1010 Guard Street, Friday Harbor) from 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m. On Sunday, July 26, trainings will take place at the Orcas Island public library (500 Rose Street, Eastsound) from 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m. and at Shaw Island County Park, in the Day Use Area from noon-3 p.m. Reserve your training spot by calling COASST at 206221-6893 or by emailing coasst@uw.edu.

Veteran firefighters Making the dean’s list wildland training The San Juan Islands are welcoming a different type of summer visitor this weekend: military veterans training to fight wildfires. Approximately 40 veterans participated in a threeday training on Lopez Island last weekend to receive wildland firefighter certification. The training is offered through a new partnership between the Bureau of Land Management and Team Rubicon, an international nonprofit disaster response group, which combines the skills and experience of military veterans with first responders. “Because of their military training and experience, veterans bring a remarkable skill set to the wildland firefighting community,” said Chuck Russell, BLM fire management officer and partnership coordinator. “It’s an honor for the BLM to provide our veterans these opportunities to continue serving and protecting our

Lopez Island’s creative “Trashionistas” will once again “flaunt their flair” during Solid Waste Alternatives Program’s fourth annual Trashion-Fashion Show on Sunday, Aug. 9, at Lopez Center for Community and the Arts. The popular event, which raises funds to support the Lopez Dump and recycling operation, will take on a new look this year with riser seating in a theatre-in-the-round setup. The new configuration will provide more seating space with good views for all. Tickets will be priced at $20 and will be limited to available seating. Liz Scranton and Bill Johnson will emcee. Trashion-Fashion promotes the concepts of reuse and recycling in a way that entertains as well as inspires. To be eligible for one of the show’s famously up-cycled trophies, participants must create their ensembles from discards or recycled materials and model them on the runway at the show. Entrants typically wow the audience with their over-the-top ingenuity and craftsmanship. Last year’s first place winner in the individual category, Mary Grace Lartz, took home a trophy for her shimmering

For sheer dedication, however, no one could top Candy Midkiff’s sweet ensemble crafted from the wrappers of Chocolove bars representing eight months of indulgence. (She ate them all herself!)

to begin, help is at hand! Nikyta Palmisani (Outreach and Education Coordinator for the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District) and Britney Westervelt (Fresh Perspectives Wardrobe Consulting) will conduct Trashion workshops from 4 to 6 p.m. at the TakeIt-Or-Leave-It on three consecutive Thursdays starting July 16. The sessions will be free, open to any age (parental supervision required for children under 12) and geared to “help you find your way ‘in’ to a costume design, and then bring your vision to life,” accord-

downloaded from www. lopezsolidwaste.org/SWAP. Forms must be submitted by July 27. Tickets to the performance will go on sale July 15 at Paper Scissors and the SWAP booth at the Saturday market, with any remaining tickets sold at the door

prior to the 5:30 performance. “We’re very excited to be presenting Trashion in an all-new format,” says Barbara Mino, SWAP board member and chair of this year’s event. “The new setup will provide seats and good viewing for everyone, and we will set aside some seats for those with special accessibility needs. But you need to get your tickets early!”

functional and appealing to our community. Please consider joining in the fun and supporting Lopez Center,” Director Janet Baltzer said. “The south west side of Lopez Center has two huge, beautiful sliding glass doors that open out onto a lovely veranda adorned with tiles announcing donors from years past. We would like to create more areas of interest and use for Lopez Center, with a small stone patio, bench and new plantings.” There will be a quiet ask for donations going toward beautification off the south west side of the building along with other special projects including a new entryway curtain. Beautiful flower centerpieces will be sold along with table decorations made specifically for this occasion. Have you been an audience member for a concert, performance or slide show at Lopez Center and experienced an annoying light from the entryway? This is caused by a huge gap in the entrance curtains which rarely remain closed. Part of the proceeds from the High Tea will go toward creating a user-friendly entrance curtain with a pulley system to block out the light. “In addition to the festivities and fun-raising, there may be an opportunity to purchase trees to be planted between the parking area and the west-facing lawn,” say organizers. Tickets are $50 for adults and $20 for youth (12 and under). They are available at Paper Scissors on the Rock, Lopez Bookshop, Lopez Center office and lopezcenter.org.
